?I took the match again, lowered my head, and walked back to my mother's grave with a slow pace, "I got it back."

"Masumi!"

This voice, this way of calling me...

I raised my head suddenly, then covered my mouth tightly with both hands, and the things in my hands fell to the ground... Teacher...

"Mr. Raftovsky is leaving first, and I want me to tell you. Tell him, I wish you happiness..." The teacher turned his head and looked at his mother's tombstone.

"Ah? Oh!" The excitement calmed down in an instant. I squatted down and picked up the matches on the ground. "I'm sorry, teacher, I should participate in practice today."

The teacher didn't say anything, just looked at his mother's tombstone, "Is this your mother's tomb?"

"Well, yes." I mechanically finished sweeping my mother's grave, "It's ready, teacher."

The two walked silently on the way back to the temple.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I ran here by myself without telling you..." Boss, let's say something.Otherwise, this silent atmosphere is scary.

"Huh?" The teacher stopped, then sighed, pointing to the bench in front of the steps of the temple, "Sit down."

I sat down as promised.

He was silent for a long while before he asked, "Where's breakfast?"

"I ate in the temple." I was taken aback for a moment, and then replied foolishly.Then, I wanted to cry a little. At this time, the teacher still cares about me.

"Are you a bit cold? The voice is weird."

"Ah!" I stroked my throat, then shook my head, "No." After crying for a long time, my voice was just hoarse.

"Mood, are you feeling better?"

In a word, the dam that I had so easily stood upright collapsed suddenly, "Teacher, teacher, I'm sorry, I don't even know what happened before, I'm sorry... I don't know at all, my mother gave the teacher's mother, brought I have suffered so much pain, and teacher, you... I'm sorry! I can only act like a baby, only cry, and only rely on the teacher. I don't know anything, but so, so..." I paused, tears kept flowing Liu, but still continued, "But I'm sorry, teacher, I can't blame mom! I didn't understand it before, but I understand it now, the feeling of loving someone, even if it hurts others, you can't give up! Can't control it, Can't hold back..."

"Forget it, it doesn't matter anymore!" The teacher's sudden words made me freeze on the spot.

"Teacher..." I turned my head and looked at him in shock.I, I, what did I hear? !

"Teacher, don't you hate my mother? Don't you hate... Me? Don't you feel disgusted when you see me?" Just thinking about it, my chest felt like a tearing pain.I really want to cry out, I really want to vent, but I can't do anything!

The teacher reached out and wiped away my tears like so many times in the past, "Your mother, it would be a lie to say that I never hated her! In my impression, my mother always... Crying all the time. No matter how many times I tell her, I'm not going to run away like Daddy..."

teacher, teacher...

ah!The pain I imagined was not even one ten-thousandth of what the teacher endured.

My heart hurts like it's about to break, but it's no longer just for my own feelings.

Looking at me, the teacher continued, "I... Just now, I turned around and called him unconsciously. If it was me before... no, before I met you, it would be impossible for me to do that. And Now... now I am still surprised that my mood has changed so much. Don't talk about hating... even... when I see you now, I seem to understand my father's mood back then..."

"Teacher! Teacher..." You, do you mean that?Am I not understanding something wrong?really not?

I couldn't help reaching out, I grabbed his sleeve, "Teacher..."

He looked at me, slightly, slightly raised the corners of his lips and smiled, obviously not such a bright smile, but it was like a ray of sunshine shining into my heart.The next moment, he stood up, walked in front of me, and stretched out his hand towards me, proactively, without any burden, "Masumi, come..."

Startled, I reached out and threw myself into his arms.

The warm feeling came back again.Melted the snow, melted the cold.The whole body, as if soaking in a hot spring, is so comfortable that it makes people want to be amazed.

"Masumi, when I held your hand for the first time, I was very touched by your trust. After that, even if there was any resentment in my heart before, it was melted by you bit by bit. Before I knew it During this time, you have changed me. On that day, I was really surprised to hear you say that I like it. However, I didn’t hate it, and even felt joy welling up. It’s just that I don’t know how to accept it, how to accept it. Express. You don't know what happened before..."

"Teacher, teacher..."

Needless to say, enough is enough, enough...

After resting in the monastery enough, the two of us went down the mountain together.

"Teacher, look! The place where the white smoke is coming out of the chimney...there! That's my mother's natal family, where I was born. I lived there for about two years, and then when I started to understand, I I moved to Hokkaido!" I took the teacher's hand, pointed, and then shook his hand coquettishly, "Teacher, teacher, don't just listen to me, tell me about your past too!"

"What do you want to hear?"

"Everything is fine, I want to know about the teacher's past!" In remote Siberia, the snow-covered world...

Suddenly, I remembered what Aoi had said before, "Teacher, you always have a straight face. Since when did you start? They are so afraid of you!"

"Are you scared too?"

"Of course, when I just met you, when you yelled at me, I kept trembling."

"now what?"

"Now...of course I'm not afraid." Come on, close your ears, I want to tell you a little secret, just next to your ears, and say softly, "I, I like the teacher the most..."

The sunlight, falling from between the trees, seems to be able to shake off the golden color of the ground just so inadvertently.

The fallen leaves are covered under the feet, and when you step on them gently, there is a creaking sound, which is more beautiful than stepping on fallen flowers in spring.

"Hee hee, teacher, look! These are maple leaves, acacia trees, over there are Dicao, Ginkgo biloba, and ivy...Do you know them, teacher?"

"Masumi, I wanted to say something just now."

"what?"

"At a time like this, don't call me a teacher!"

"Why? It's always been called that."

"...Don't call anyway!"

"Haha, is it okay to call it by name?"

"kindness."

"Alex?"

"kindness."

"Alex!"

"kindness."

"Alex..."

"Don't keep barking!"

"Huh? Why? It's so rare to be called that? Ah... Teacher, you are blushing... Teacher, teacher, don't go so fast! Alex, Alex..."
