Yuigahama Yui panted and hurriedly ran towards Hikigaya Hachiman, the wooden clogs on her fair feet knocked against the floor tiles and made a crisp sound.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?"
The girl with the bun-haired head bent down slightly, supported her hands on her knees, raised her head and showed a slightly apologetic smile to the boy with dead fish eyes in front of her.
"Oh, oh... not long." Hikigaya Hachiman said hesitantly, and his cheeks couldn't help but get hotter when he saw the light red on the girl's face.
While looking away guiltily, he reminded himself frantically in his heart.
It was a close call. If an ordinary high school boy was looked at by a girl with such eyes, he would definitely fall in love with her accidentally, but I, who have long been familiar with the way of loneliness, will never make such a mistake!
"That's good, hehe..."
Yuigahama Yui recovered her breath and stood up again. She pinched the sleeves of her yukata nervously with both hands and slowly said, "How, how is it?"
"Ah? Oh... the yukata is very beautiful." Hikigaya Hachiman scratched his cheek with his fingers and only praised the yukata against his will, and then quickly changed the subject, "Since we are here, let's go?"
"Yeah!" Yuigahama Yui nodded vigorously.
The fireworks festival will be held at the riverside, and the two are preparing to take the tram from Inage District Station to Hanamigawa District.
: However, a familiar voice came into the ears of the two at this time, and Hikigaya Hachiman trembled and his hair stood up.
"Huh? Isn't this the dead fish eyed boy?"
The sharp-eyed Lin Qi saw Hikigaya Hachiman and Yuigahama Yui in the crowd at a glance, mainly because the decadent atmosphere exuded by the former was too eye-catching, and it was difficult for that guilty look not to be conspicuous.
8. Hikigaya Hachiman turned stiffly like a puppet, and a familiar face suddenly entered his field of vision.
2. Why do I feel like I can see Uncle Lin Qi everywhere!
4. What are you, an NPC that will be refreshed near me!
3. He roared in his heart, but the corners of his mouth had already been pulled apart, revealing a forced and ugly smile: "Teacher Lin Qi, why are you here too?"
"Oh, Yukinoshita and I made an appointment to meet here and then go to watch the fireworks show together." Lin Qi walked in front of the two of them, glanced at the bun-haired girl in a light yellow yukata, and couldn't help but raised her eyebrows, "It seems that you are too."
"Hello, Teacher Lin Qi."
Wu Yuigahama Yui greeted him respectfully. Since she learned about Lin Qi's identity as a teacher during the summer camp, her attitude towards this young teacher has become much more restrained.
"Hello." Lin Qi also responded with a smile, "Don't be so reserved, just treat me as Yukinoshita's friend."
His gentle words were a complete trap in Hikigaya Hachiman's ears.
If he really treated Lin Qi as Lin Qi said, according to his usual attitude towards other peers, then what awaited him would definitely be a painful Spartan training!
"Since you are all going to watch the fireworks display, then stay with me for a while, you shouldn't be in a hurry, right?" Lin Qi smiled teasingly, "Or am I disturbing you here?"
"No, no, no! Of course not!" Yuigahama Yui blushed and shook her head like a rattle, "Besides, it's more lively when there are more people!"
"The fireworks display itself is lively enough, or rather, it's too lively." Hikigaya Hachiman complained in a low voice.
I really want to go home.
Yukinoshita Yukino didn't let them wait for long. She appeared in front of everyone a few minutes later, and her outfit was very different from usual.
Her waist-length black hair was tied up and tied behind her head with a silver hairpin, revealing her swan-like white and slender neck. The smooth hair on both sides of her temples embellished her soft facial contours.
She always appeared without makeup, but she rarely put on light makeup. The light pink eyeshadow added a bit of maturity and charm to her. The cherry lips with lip glaze looked like delicious strawberry jelly, shining with a faint luster.
The girl was also wearing a blue yukata, with light gardenia patterns dotted in between. The slightly exposed neck revealed her delicate skin; the dark corset was tied just right, outlining the girl's slender waist; she was wearing a pair of wooden clogs, revealing ten cute pink toes.
With the arrival of the girl who looked like a snow fairy, everything in the station seemed to be eclipsed, reduced to green leaves to set off the flowers.
When she saw the black-haired young man who was dressed casually but still exuded an extraordinary temperament, a light flashed in Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes. Her bright navy blue eyes, set off by the dark blue yukata, seemed to reflect the alpine lake in the sky.
"Wow! Xiaoxue is dressed so beautifully today!" Yuigahama Yui exclaimed with shining eyes.
"Hikigaya, and Yuigahama-san..."
Seeing the two club partners, Yukinoshita Yukino blinked in surprise, and then cast an inquiring look at the black-haired young man beside her.
"We met by chance." Lin Qi explained, "They also wanted to watch the fireworks display, so I simply suggested that we go together."
"I see." Nodding in understanding, Yukinoshita Yukino stepped forward and handed him the gift bag in her hand.
"What is this?" Lin Qi took the bag and asked in confusion.
"Gift." The corners of the girl's mouth slightly raised, and a charming smile quietly revealed in this light smile, which was natural, "To thank you for your help all the time."
"Then I'll accept it. Jiu" Lin Qi didn't pretend to be too much. He opened the gift bag and saw that it contained a set of white kimonos wrapped in a box.
He couldn't help but chuckle: "You gave me a kimono, but you wear a yukata?"
Although yukata is also a kind of kimono, the price is much different, and kimono is more formal than yukata.
At the same time, it is very troublesome to wear.
In Ryoumen Sukuna's memory, he was dressed by a servant with a white bob haircut and difficult to distinguish between male and female.
"Do you want me to wear this to accompany you to watch the fireworks?" Lin Qi asked.
The blush quietly rose to her cheeks, and even her ears were dyed red. Yukinoshita Yukino nodded gently: "If you are willing."
"Then you should know that wearing a kimono is very troublesome." He smiled helplessly.
As soon as Lin Qi finished speaking, Yukinoshita Yukino blurted out: "I can help you."
"...Xiaoxue is so bold."
Yuigahama Yui, who was temporarily ignored but also happy to be a spectator, whispered in the ear of Hikigaya Hachiman who was watching her eyes and nose.
However, how could her words escape the sensitive Yukinoshita Yukino?
So, the blush continued to spread until the white neck was also dyed with a layer of light pink, "No, I mean..."
Realizing that the more she defended herself, the more difficult it was to explain clearly, the black-haired girl simply pursed her lips tightly and stopped talking.
"Okay, okay, wait for me here."
Lin Qi smiled and said, carrying the bag and walked towards the bathroom of the station.
After a while, the black-haired young man, who was neatly dressed in a yukata, returned to the crowd wearing a pair of wooden clogs, and Yukinoshita Yukino was able to see the beauty that transcended gender again.
What? You asked where the wooden clogs came from?
I exchanged them from Tongzi with a few points.
The gift from the Yukinoshita family, of course, needs no further explanation in terms of price and quality. The comfortable and smooth white satin set off his slender and upright figure, and the undergarment swayed gently with his steps, and the folded loose cuffs revealed his strong forearms.
The pattern on the kimono was also a light golden gardenia, which added a touch of luxury to it.
The meaning of the gardenia flower is eternal love and a lifetime of waiting.
"Let's go." Lin Qi smiled slightly, pulling Yukinoshita Yukino's erratic consciousness back again.
She stepped forward to straighten his collar, smoothed out the wrinkles, and then nodded with satisfaction: "As expected, white suits you very well."
So, the four of them took the train and headed for the bank of the flower river.
The sky gradually darkened, and the dusk was gradually blurred by the ink color. The sun and the moon shone together at this moment.
"The fireworks show starts at 7:30, and there is still more than half an hour from now. What should I do? Go home?" Hikigaya Hachiman looked at the time and the crowds of people around him and said.
"I'm not going back! Why can you so naturally bring up the option of going home?" The bun-haired girl complained loudly, "And sister Komachi also sent me a list of things she wanted to buy."
She took out her mobile phone from her bag and opened the email sent by Komachi.
The first few items were normal, until the last one: precious memories of watching fireworks together! Priceless!
What an embarrassing statement, my brother will be ashamed!
Hikigaya Hachiman complained in his heart.
"Then let's just stroll around first. What did Lin Qi and Yukinoshita say?" Hikigaya Hachiman turned around and asked, but no one answered. The two figures had already disappeared.
If it was someone else, Hikigaya Hachiman might be a little sad and disappointed, but the people who left without saying goodbye were Lin Qi and Yukinoshita Yukino, so he would only feel relieved.
"Did you get separated?" Yuigahama Yui also noticed the two people who disappeared. After blinking, she turned her head and smiled shyly at the dead fish-eyed boy, "Then let's stroll around first? We can contact each other by mobile phone when the time comes."
"Okay."
The two of them had their own thoughts, and neither of them proposed to meet up first.
The riverside was very lively, and various vendors and small stalls set up simple stalls. Fresh ingredients were taken out, and there were bursts of sounds when they were cut on the vegetable mounds. The greetings of family members came one after another. The preparation stage was already in full swing, and the atmosphere was full.
The long line of hanging lanterns was pulled up, and the lights suddenly spread across the street.
The sound of brisk and crisp footsteps was endless. Lin Qi and Yukinoshita Yukino walked side by side in the crowd. Each of them held a popsicle. When they took a bite, the cold sweetness spread between their teeth, dispelling the sultry summer night.
"There are so many people. Be careful not to get separated." Lin Qi said with a sigh.
In his memory, it seems that he has not experienced such a lively atmosphere for a long time. He doesn't like to go out to play during holidays. Even if he goes out, he just sees a sea of people. There is no solar term atmosphere, only heat and irritability.
As for festive festivals such as the Spring Festival, as they gradually grow older, they have long lost the flavor of the New Year. Only the troubles of family life are left, and they even have to endure the nonsense of adjusting holidays.
The lively festival atmosphere only exists in the childhood memories that are gradually piled up under the reality, but they are still shining every time they think back.
In the crowd, a man accidentally bumped into Lin Qi's shoulder. The former was hurt, but he had to apologize with a smile. When Lin Qi paused, the black-haired girl, who was a step behind him, was about to be taken away by the crowd.
Before the panic spread in her heart, a hand passed through the crowd and accurately grasped the soft and cold palm of Yukinoshita Yukino, pulling her back to the black-haired young man.
Lin Qi shrugged, as if she had expected it: "You see, I said it's easy to get lost."
The warmth passed between the palms and gradually became hot.
"Follow." He said while holding the black-haired girl's soft hand.
"Yeah." Yukinoshita Yukino nodded gently, and the warm light of the lantern made her face flushed.
The two continued to walk forward. Lin Qi suddenly stopped and bought two crystal clear apple candies. After handing one to the girl next to him, she smiled and said, "I've only seen this stuff in anime before. I didn't expect that I would eat it today."
"Lin Qijun, have you never eaten apple candies?" Yukinoshita Yukino thanked her first and took it, then asked curiously.
"Really not." He said, taking a bite of the apple candy, and the taste felt similar to that of candied haws. After biting the ice skin on the surface, it was sour and sweet fructose.
"Not bad." Lin Qi commented.
Passing by a small stall for scooping goldfish, this enduring project is also a classic in fireworks festivals and festivals.
Seeing Yukinoshita Yukino's eager eyes, Lin Qi took her to the stall.
"500 yen per time." The boss with a white headscarf smiled enthusiastically.
After Lin Qi paid the money, he handed Yukinoshita Yukino a thin paper net.
Looking at the fat goldfish swimming safely in the white box, one can't help but wonder whether this thin paper can support the weight of these cute little guys, not to mention that they will twist their bodies and struggle mischievously.
And the answer is obvious.
With the splash of water, the black and white goldfish broke through the paper and fell back into the water with a splash. The slightly swaying fish tail seemed to laugh at the girl's powerlessness.
Yukinoshita Yukino's expression suddenly became serious. After paying another 500 yen, she tried again. This time she didn't hesitate too much. She stretched out her hand like lightning and tried to use inertia to throw the fish into the blue plastic box on the side before the hole in the paper.
But it still didn't work. The fat fish actually used water splashing and bounced back into the white plastic box.
This time the splash was bigger, quite a bit like the style of a Filipino diving athlete.
Lin Qi couldn't stand it anymore, so she paid, took the paper net, strengthened her magic power, picked up the goldfish and started to stir the spoon. After shaking the fat black and white goldfish dizzy, she was willing to let it go and threw it into the blue plastic box.
The shop owner was stunned.
What kind of tile throwing is this?
While wondering if there was something wrong with her net, she put the goldfish in a bag and handed it to Yukinoshita Yukino, but the latter shook her head and refused.
She just wanted to challenge herself, not really wanting to raise goldfish.
So the boss happily earned 1,500 yen for nothing.
"You are cheating, Lin Qijun."
After leaving the goldfish scooping stall, Yukinoshita Yukino said with a little dissatisfaction.
"Just tell me whether you have fished it out or not."
"Isn't Lin Qijun the kind of person who can't stand losing?"
"Why should I lose when I can win? Being able to use cursed power is my ability."
The two of them bickered all the way, and the night gradually became darker. The dusk completely disappeared, and the cool evening breeze blew from the riverside, and the stars were visible in the scattered clouds.
The time was gradually approaching the time for the fireworks display to begin.
When they came to the lawn on the shore, most of the places suitable for watching fireworks had been occupied, but Yukinoshita Yukino's face did not look anxious: "Contact Yuigahama and the others."
"No need, they are there." Lin Qi pointed to a place where Hachiman Hikigaya and Yuigahama Yui were standing in the crowd, and they seemed a little uncomfortable with the crowd.
