[Tutor] Eight-pack abs Sakuragi-san

The whole room is empty, exuding an ancient and ethereal atmosphere, as if this house has never been stained with a trace of gloom in the boundless torrent of time.

The sun scattered in the air and fell down, the faint but clear light illuminated the room, and then the slight warmth seemed to stop at this moment for a long time, and time seemed to stand still.

The girl slowly opened her eyes, and the rays of the sun blurred the vision with colorful halos.

Turning his head to look, the cherry blossoms in the yard are in full bloom. Although there is only one tree, the cherry blossoms are enough to bloom the whole world.

With one hand stroking her hair, Sakuragi-san looked up and saw the face of an old woman.

Hands, cold temperature, but as long as you see that familiar face, you can't help feeling warm.

"grandmother."

Sakuragi-san, who was pillowed on grandma's lap, called coquettishly, then stretched out her arms and hugged the old man's waist tightly.

The silky fabric of the bathrobe leaned against his face, and the tip of his nose seemed to be able to smell the faint fragrance of tea on the old man's body, giving him a feeling of extreme peace of mind.

"Go back to sleep."

The serene voice came to her ears, and the old woman lowered her head, lovingly looking at the young girl lying on her lap.

The vicissitudes of life patted the young girl's back lightly, and the old woman smiled and implicated the wrinkles on her face.

"grandmother."

Sakuragi-san slowly let go of the hand holding the old man's waist, and then held the hand of grandma patting her back. The thin hand felt very skinny, cold without any warmth.

The girl's eyes darkened, and then she leaned her hand on her cheek, as if she wanted to convey the warmth to the old man.

"Grandma, do you know ghosts?"

"Can't touch, can't speak, can't feel, ghosts are always hidden in the cracks of time, wandering in confusion and pain in the world, because they can't leave because of what they are nostalgic for, because the life that has passed away can't stay."

"Some are because they don't want to leave their true love, some are because they can't get rid of the pain of hatred, some are because they stay in the unattainable nostalgia, and some are because of the last paranoid wish..."

Sakuragi-san spoke softly, then closed her eyes, just quietly feeling the cold temperature of the old man's hands.

It's like telling a story in a deep voice, and when the story wakes up, the person will also wake up from the dream.

"Grandma, you must know."

"Because grandma once said that when human beings have an unforgettable obsession with the world after death, they will become ghosts and stay in the world."

As the girl spoke, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at the old man's face against the light, her pupils trembling.

"If so, why—I can't find you?"

Deep in the memory is a pale and depressing time.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, I looked at my grandmother who was getting thinner and sicker.Day and night, I just waited quietly by my side, holding grandma's hand tightly, for fear that everything would disappear if I let go.

At that time, I kept thinking about how I would survive if my grandma left.

After much deliberation, the conclusion is - can not live.

In the humble and small life and memories, there is no other thing that can shine in life except grandma's memories.

How can I let my grandma leave me who has been by my grandma's side and never left me?

Since, if you can't stop it, then leave with grandma.

Thinking in this way, the once panicky mood gradually calmed down. Looking at the increasingly depressed grandma, I suddenly found that I could also accompany grandma peacefully, and no longer showed the expression that was about to cry.

[I will, always be with grandma. 】At that time, I smiled and held the old man's hand tightly.

[Xiao Sang...] At that time, grandma's voice was hoarse, and there was a hint of helplessness and worry in her muddy eyes.

【I won't let grandma leave alone. 】

Sakuragi-san remembered that he said so.

Because I don't want to leave grandma, so I won't let grandma leave alone, so after grandma passes away, let's go with grandma, this is already the best life.

I will, always be by my grandmother's side.

[Xiao Sang, the cherry blossoms have fallen. 】

There was no expression of dissatisfaction on grandma's face, she just sighed softly, then turned her head stiffly to look at the cherry blossom trees outside the room, and the green lawn was full of cherry blossoms.

These flowers, like grandma's life, are passing through the few remaining colors, and then will gradually disappear in time.

Sakuragi-san didn't speak.

Watching the flowers fall every year before does not have the feeling I have now. The passing of life is like the scattering of cherry blossoms, just like when the last petal leaves the bud, grandma's life has also come to an end.

Obviously decided to leave with grandma peacefully, but when she saw Hualuo, tears seemed to flow out again.It seems that the sound of petals falling to the ground can be clearly heard, accompanied by the life that is about to come to an abrupt end.

Suddenly, the chest was oppressed and it was difficult to breathe. Sakuragi-san stood up and ran over to close the door, not wanting to see such a sad scene again.

[Xiao Sang, don't you like cherry blossoms? 】

The old man's voice came from behind, and the movement of closing the door stopped suddenly.Sakuragi-san trembled and didn't know what to say for a while, but finally turned around and looked at the old man lying on the bed in a daze.

Obviously, like my grandma, I like cherry blossoms the most.

Grandma, who was lying on the couch, sat up slowly, looking a little strenuous.

But there was still a kind and kind smile on his face, and there seemed to be a stream of light in his brown pupils, and then his gaze moved gently from Sakuragi-san's face to the scattered cherry blossoms in the garden.

[Don't be sentimental because of these withered petals, there will be more beautiful cherry blossoms in the coming year. 】

[If one day I also disappear with the wind like these cherry blossoms——]

[Xiao Sang, then get out of here, don't stay by my side any longer. 】

Sakuragi-san stood there in a daze, looking at grandma's smile, but her thoughts were suddenly mixed.

Tears involuntarily came out of the eyes, and the fear and sadness that had been repeatedly suppressed in my heart burst out at this moment.

[Grandma, this is, don't you want me? 】The girl's voice was obviously frail and crying, and the expression of loss and fear seemed to be abandoned. At that moment, the center of gravity of the whole world seemed to collapse.

Grandma smiled and shook her head, then waved to the girl.

The girl paused, but still walked towards grandma step by step, kneeling and sitting on the ground obediently.

[Xiao Sang, grandma's life has been long enough, there is nothing to regret, the only one who is worried about you is you. 】

【You have grown up too, you shouldn't stay in this house all the time, get out of here. 】

[Promise, grandma. 】

Sakuragi-san was sobbing and unable to make a sound, she clearly wanted to say no, she wanted to go with grandma, she wanted to say that she didn't want grandma to leave alone, but she couldn't say it when she saw those pupils.

Obviously, grandma knows, as long as grandma says it, she will agree no matter what.

【Don't cry. 】The old man's voice was too soft and serene, and he slowly raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the girl's cheek.

[Xiao Sang, let's see the cherry blossoms next year. 】

[I hope you can come back with a smile, because in my lifetime, your company makes me extremely happy. 】

At that moment, the old man's brown pupils seemed to merge with the sunlight, and the shallow curvature of the corner of his mouth was extremely beautiful.

The hand caressing her cheek carried an unforgettable temperature. It was obviously an extremely gentle voice, but it couldn't stop weeping and trembling uncontrollably.

But despite this, grandma's smile at that moment was deeply engraved in my mind, and I will never forget it.

And then—Grandma died.

She left very peacefully, as if she went to sleep peacefully with a smile every night, but she forgot to wake up that morning.

Sakuragi-san clearly remembered that she did not cry.

At that moment, the calmness reached the extreme, as if he knew the established ending a long time ago.

She just held grandma's cold hand, then lay quietly on the old man's lap, and slowly looked at the cherry blossoms outside the yard—as expected, the cherry blossoms had all fallen.

Afterwards, Sakuragi-san called his uncle, who rushed back from Italy very quickly. Although the man's eyes were slightly red and his expression was decadent, he continued to comfort himself with a forced smile.

She said to her uncle, "I want to get out of here." The uncle paused, then seemed relieved, and nodded.

Sakuragi-san remembered that on the day of the funeral, many people came, all of whom he had never seen before.But their faces are full of loss and respect, carrying the memories of grandma and grandma that they don't know. Just thinking about it like this makes me want to pry the heads of this group of people and give me grandma's past.

I looked at a person surrounded by me in a daze, telling myself not to be happy, and seeing them sad, but I felt extremely depressed, and there was a kind of uncontrollable pain like a living body dissecting the internal organs, and I could only hold back. He held his uncle's hand tightly.

Sakuragi-san remembered that after his uncle received a call, his face changed drastically, saying that he had to leave urgently.

Then—uncle, he let go of his hand.

It's like, grandma threw herself away, and in the end the only relative also threw away her hand.

If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't agree to grandma.

At the beginning, it was good to go with grandma.

This kind of obsession got deeper and deeper, and then I became confused.

Thinking about it now, probably the power went berserk accidentally at that time.

By the time I realized it, it was completely ruined.The funeral was completely destroyed, leaving my grandmother and my home with only billowing smoke and a mess, and my grandmother's favorite garden turned into a piece of scorched earth.

And then - he fell asleep.

Sakuragi-san slowly opened her eyes, looked at the grandma who was by her side, and suddenly felt that illusion and reality could no longer be separated.It's just that the temperature of the palm cannot be deceived.

It was as if I had finally woken up after three years of sleep. Now, should I wake up from this dream that has been deceiving me all this time?

"Grandma, why, I can't find you?"

I asked the same question a second time, knowing that I would not get the answer from the illusion of my own illusion, but I still asked it, and I really wanted to know the answer to this question.

After grandma died, she would definitely become a ghost guarding her side.

Sakuragi-san has always believed so firmly. Although this idea is extremely selfish, Sakuragi-san feels that grandma will not leave her and leave. Her favorite grandma will definitely continue to be by her side.

I became a ghost, wandering in this room, this house, this mountain every day, looking for traces of grandma.

After wandering in confusion for half a year, Sakuragi-san finally realized that grandma had really left.

"Grandma, I miss you so much." I miss you all the time.

"It's me, is it too late?" I didn't return to this place until the anniversary of your death four years later.

"Did you really just leave without any regrets?" I thought you would definitely stay for me.

"Grandma..." Don't leave me.

Curled up, trembling and crying out from the mouth, tears blurred her eyes, and the tears slid down her cheeks wantonly, the girl cried and held her grandma's hand hard, unable to say another word.

"I'm here." Grandma shook her head helplessly, then looked at the girl dotingly as always.

The girl's body froze, then slowly raised her head, then slowly straightened up, looking at the old man with surprise in her eyes, after a pause, a wisp of purple mist dissipated from the old man's body, but the figure of the old man disappeared Still stay there.

It is obviously a virtual image created by my own illusion. Although it is fake, it can be seen and touched.

But now—it has changed.

Sakuragi-san sat quietly on the floor, looking at the grandma who was sitting in front of her eyes and gradually becoming transparent, her eyes suddenly narrowed, and the transparent figure of the old man seemed to be blown away in the air.The figure of grandma exudes a soft and warm light in the sun, as if covered with brilliant debris, shining brightly in the eyes of a girl.

"Xiao Sang, I'm here." Grandma smiled and nodded, and then reached out to touch the girl's hair as before, but her hand passed through Sakuragi-san's body, unable to touch it.

"...Liar." Sakuragi-san was trembling all over, and wanted to reach out to touch the old man's face, but it was as if he had touched the transparent air, and he couldn't open his mouth to speak all of a sudden, all the words were stuck in the old man's face. Throat mouth.Sakuragi-san trembled, tears got lost in his eyes, suddenly he seemed to find something.

In fact, grandma really didn't leave, she was always by my side, it's just——

"Why, don't let me find you?"

"Look, how beautiful the cherry blossoms are blooming this year." The corners of grandma's mouth were still in a gentle arc, and then she turned her eyes away from the girl's crying cheeks and looked at the only cherry blossom tree in the garden.

"Xiao Sang, didn't you come back to see the cherry blossoms?" Grandma said softly, but her gentle tone made people feel sad.

Sakuragi-san lowered her head, saw grandma's fingers with protruding bony joints, and wanted to reach out to touch them but only touched the floor.The girl opened her mouth slightly, her voice trembling, and called grandma again.

Grandma replied softly again, "I'm here, Xiaosang."

"Really, a beautiful view."

"Ah."

"After watching the sunset, I will leave."

Sakuragi-san was stunned, and raised his eyes to look at the transparent old man, his heart twisted, and tears fell unconsciously again.I have finally come to the self who has walked out of this house, and I can no longer selfishly keep grandma by my side, right?

The girl just sat there quietly without speaking, and then fixedly watched the setting sun that was about to set in the west.

The sky seemed to be covered with a layer of orange-red paint, half of the sky was orange-red, and large clusters of colorful clouds floated in the sky, and the gradual red halo was filled with the most beautiful light.

The cherry blossoms also seem to be dyed more delicately by the golden-red light of the sun, and the clusters are shining with a touch of golden light.

Time seemed to stand still again.

"Really, it's a beautiful view." Grandma watched quietly, her transparent body seemed to be dissolved in the golden glow of the setting sun in a second.

"Hmm." Unable to open her mouth to speak, all the words were stuck in her throat, the girl took a deep breath, but still couldn't stop her body shaking, the girl bit her lower lip, then nodded vigorously trembling .

"Xiao Sang, you must be happy." As the sun was setting, grandma turned her head and looked at the girl with a smile.

"Yeah." Sakuragi-san nodded, her voice was hoarse, tears kept pouring from her eyes, but a bright smile was still forced on the corner of her mouth, "Grandma, I have always wanted to tell you that in those years you could Always stay by your side, I, I..."

"I know." Seeing the girl choked up and unable to make a sound, grandma nodded.The old man slowly stretched out his transparent hand, pretending to touch the girl's cheek, "Finally, say it again."

"Xiao Sang, welcome back."

Grandma smiled, with a familiar warm and gentle curve at the corner of her mouth. At that moment, the transparent hand seemed to really touch her cheek, feeling the familiar temperature, and grandma's body disappeared little by little.The transparent light that made up the old man seemed to be blown away by the wind, and it was blown into the night, but there was no way to find the light that belonged to grandma in the sunset.

Sakuragi-san cried quietly, looking at the gradually disappearing image in his sight until it disappeared.Then she saw it, and a small cherry blossom was left on the floor.Pale pink, so fragile that it would shatter if touched, the flower looked extraordinarily beautiful in the last rays of the setting sun.

The palm gently dragged the cherry blossoms, and tears fell on the cherry petals.

The author has something to say: Well, grandma is here.

The mysterious granny can finally say goodbye! [The writing style is wrong again!Oh come on!

After the next chapter 27 returns, I will definitely bring back the style of writing immediately!
