My youth love story is really a fake

So is Chiba.

After coming out of the house, the noisy atmosphere on the street was even more inexplicably exciting than before.Among the pedestrians coming and going on the street, people in traditional costumes accounted for a considerable part.If you look around casually, there are men and women walking away intimately, and people carrying incubators with their families on their backs.Because the destination is the same, although everyone may not know each other, but when following the crowd, there is still a wonderful feeling of drifting with the crowd.

Unlike most of the friends who made an appointment, the place where Qianjian and Ji Cai agreed to meet was the station as the starting point, not the meeting place as the destination.

Because both of them live on the Nagaracho side, it is more convenient to meet at the station than to arrive at the venue separately.

However, Qian Jian soon discovered that it was not very convenient to meet here.

On one side are crowded tram ticket gates, and on the other side are densely packed figures at the entrance.Coupled with the extremely enthusiastic crowd in response to the atmosphere of the festival, it is really not easy to find a specific person among them.

"Squad leader."

Ji Cai's voice came from behind.

Qian Jian turned around, and Ji Cai was dressed in western clothes as usual, which was still very inconspicuous in the crowd.Although she didn't change to a yukata to match the atmosphere, the goose yellow dress hangs down to her ankles in a refreshing way, coupled with a cool light-colored shirt, she looks much prettier than the plainly dressed Ji Cai.

"...Let's go."

If it's reasonable, you should compliment the clothes first... For Qian Jian and Ji Cai, they don't care about such things.

After all, even the voices of the two people greeting each other couldn't hear any more shy or shy atmosphere than usual.

"Ah."

The atmosphere between the two was much colder than the surroundings.But surprisingly, it wasn't stiff.The atmosphere of silence is like breathing, flowing between the two people who are less than half a step apart.

Qian Jian walked in front, and Ji Cai fell a little behind.

Just like before.

From passing through the ticket gate until they walked into the down train together, the two of them had no communication at all during this period.

Usually in the class, neither of them took the initiative to stir up the topic.As for the current situation, it won't feel awkward, it's purely because the two of them are already very familiar.

However, if the current Ji Cai spoke first, the topic would probably involve things like Danmei.

"Here, is there any problem?"

There were still a lot of people in the compartment. After the two of them walked in, they were squeezed into the innermost position by the shoulder-to-shoulder passengers.However, thanks to this, Ji Cai only needs to face Qian Jian who is standing in front of her.

"Well, it's okay."

Just like what Ji Cai said, it's just an accidental touch in public, and there won't be any particularly violent reactions.

For ordinary people, when entering a crowded place like a train compartment, they don't care about other people's approaching into the intimate distance without authorization.After all, this is force majeure.

However, the consciousness will ignore it, and the body still has some reactions.

Because of being squeezed very close, Qian Jian could still see the obviously sick expression on Ji Cai's fair face.

At times like this, it might be a good idea to come up with some topics to divert attention from.However, in such a narrow and quiet space like a car, it's not very good to chat casually.

Qian Jian pointed to the outside of the car window, at least the scenery outside the window was still rendered quietly in the brilliance of the setting sun.For distraction or something, it should be fine.

Following Qian Jian's intention, Ji Cai nodded knowingly, and leaned against the window while turning her body.

The train continued to run, and when the port tower could be seen, the deceleration brake was activated.Ji Cai, whose footsteps were not completely straightened, hastily adjusted her body balance when she felt unstable.Because just turned around, Ji Cai, who was leaning on the handle with her back, could only use her hands to support the wall of the carriage in vain.

Qian Jian, who also felt the malicious inertia brought about by braking, quickly reached out to support Ji Cai when she noticed that Ji Cai had lost her balance.However, in a hurry, he could only avoid important parts such as the throat.For a moment, their faces were very close to each other.Even the lightest breath can be felt easily.

"Feel sorry!"

After Qian Jian stabilized Ji Cai, her arm immediately bounced away from her front neck.During the quick reaction, even the volume of the sound was forgotten.

"……what."

All Ji Cai could give was a dull response.

The adults who were drawn to the attention by Qian Jian's voice glanced at the two with subtle expressions.Then he withdrew his gaze and didn't bother too much.

However, as the two people involved, I know how difficult this situation is.

There are still three stops away from the venue, but if it is really not possible, when we arrive at the station this time, we can only get off the bus a little earlier.

At this time, I can't bring myself to pretend to look at the scenery.Even, in order to prevent Ji Cai from overreacting, Qian Jian purposely breathed very lightly.

"Hoo... ah... ph..."

Ji Cai's cheeks turned pale due to the situation just now.Fortunately, after adjusting her breathing a few times, Ji Cai's complexion gradually recovered.

Two people are in a relatively stable space, leaving some distance.After turning their eyes away, they each enjoyed the scenery for the next part of the journey.

Therefore, it is really better to come less often to festivals like the fireworks display...

Chapter 44 Many people are few

After leaving the station, the flow of people seemed to be liberated, and immediately returned to the hustle and bustle.

The towering Chiba Port Tower reflects the lower world with its mirror-like wall, and the setting sun that has multiplied its brilliance seems to make the expectations of the people who are looking forward to the opening even higher.Everyone was laughing loudly and exchanging glistening joyful glances.

There are always excited shouts from the various regular stalls along the road. The children are running around excitedly. Although the adults are more calm, their words are less like the usual ones. stiff.

There are a variety of products displayed in front of the store, and occasionally you can see the clerks of each store warmly greeting the customers who come and go.

The liveliness of the festival seems to be carved into the hearts of the people who were born in this land.Even just standing here, the mood will become happy.

The distance from the station to the venue of the fireworks display is not far, after all, the factor of convenient transportation should be considered.After walking with the messy passenger flow for a while, Ji Cai's condition gradually improved.

"Looks like it's still a while."

Ji Cai glanced at her watch, then looked up at Qian Jian.

The start time is around 09:30, it seems that the time is still very rich.

However, as time approaches, the square will gradually be completely submerged by crowds.Moreover, some trends can now be seen.When everyone is walking on the road, they will more or less give way.Even so, the flow of people coming and going is somewhat breathless.

"Let's go for a walk where there are fewer people."

In short, this kind of bustling and lively festival is really unbearable.The sound of footsteps mixed with joking and brisk voices, interspersed with the rhythm of clogs, stretched from the side to the far away place.

Looking at the rows of stalls and the endless stream of people around, it is really not easy to find a place with fewer people.

"That's right...then, let's find some water to drink."

Ji Cai smiled gently.They didn't see any teahouses along the way, so the two of them walked slowly along the stalls towards the square again.

Apple candy, fried noodles, shooting, fishing for treasures, water balloons, fishing for goldfish...

Sure enough, when it comes to ceremonies, these are the kingly ways.

The owner of the takoyaki stall holds steel needles in both hands, flipping the meatballs on the grill neatly; the noodles on the iron plate cooking table at the yakisoba stall are covered with sauce and sauce; or the marshmallow stall The machine made a whining sound, and the fragrance wafted to the surroundings, and the light and fluffy white silk threads were gathered into bundles...

Although I also know what the taste is, that's the thing.But once it is covered by the warm light of the naked lamp, the moist and shiny color will always make people's index fingers move.

The same goes for fishing for treasure and goldfish. They all know that the highest chance of winning is a low-level consolation prize. If you are lucky, you may get your principal back and change it to something you don't need.But after seeing the luxurious prizes stacked in the most conspicuous position, some people will still want to choose the rope that is not connected to the luxurious prizes.

What businessmen like most is when customers get hotheaded.As for the occasion of holding a festival, it simply has a unique advantage.

Although, it has no effect on the couple who are walking slowly.

"what happened?"

Ji Cai's uneasy pace slowly stopped, and after realizing it, Qian Jian also stopped and asked.

"..."

After being stunned for a while, Ji Cai, with erratic eyes, finally came to her senses.

"A little... a little tired. Let's find a place to rest for a while."

After finishing speaking, regardless of Qianjian's reaction, he directly grabbed Qianjian's sleeve and walked against the flow of people.

"Wait,"

Before Qian Jian finished speaking, her voice was blocked by a figure slipping past the edge of her vision.

A festival like the fireworks display is really a big event in Qianyi County.It seems that it's not just Chiyo and Hime who came here on purpose from Nagaracho.

"That rascal!"

The small sound of gnashing of teeth slowly escaped from the depths of her throat, even if she just grabbed her sleeve, Ji Cai could feel Qian Jian's body becoming stiff quickly.

"Squad leader!"

fight?Then make things bigger?

Or use a more "civilized" way, but looking at the current situation, it will be more eye-catching...

Anyway, I don't want to just let him go.

Qian Jian always thought that she should have passed the age of having such childish thoughts long ago, but now it seems that this kind of vivid emotion really hasn't left from the bottom of her heart for a moment.

Suddenly there was a cold and soft touch on her wrist, and Qian Jian realized that she was being dragged by Ji Cai quickly through the crowd and left the central area.

"Ji!"

Ji Cai didn't respond to Qian Jian, but kept saying things like "I'm sorry—" "I'm sorry" and pushed aside the crowd.In just a short while, the two of them trotted to a place where there were few people.

This should be the charging area, and the surrounding areas are simply and clearly divided by tiger ropes.The flat hills also have a wide view, which is very suitable for overlooking.Not only can you see a few people resting leisurely inside, but you can occasionally see employees wandering around, probably doing security work.

After jogging all the way from the noisy place, Ji Cai still leaned on the tree trunk next to her, gently adjusting her breathing.

"why?"

Qian Jian took a few deep breaths, the fresh air on the hill was not yet smelled of fireworks.

"...It's already a thing of the past. The squad leader also—"

Before Ji Cai could finish speaking, Qian Jian walked in front of her, and took off Ji Cai's colorful frame glasses with gentle hands but could not refuse.

Just where it was blocked by the glasses frame, there was a very small and inconspicuous scar.

Come to think of it, even Miura or Yuigahama, the two girls who are often with Himina, wouldn't know about it.

But it was this tiny wound that never healed.

At least, no one will forget.

Qian Jian's face slowly approached, and Ji Cai quickly lowered her head.The scar is also subtly covered by the hanging hair.

Although the two of them looked like they would be misunderstood, there were really very few people here.

"Ah--isn't this Chijo-kun?"

perhaps?

Chapter 45 Fireworks

"Oh, I won't bother you, will I?"

The one who walked over with a smile was the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family.

The deep navy blue texture that is still conspicuous in the dark is full of elegance, and the yukata with the cool lily and autumn grass pattern is elegant.

Across the drawn line, he stood gracefully in another area, beckoning the two of them to go over.

After returning the glasses to Ji Cai, Qian Jian walked up to Yokino Yukinoshita first.Ji Cai simply adjusted the position of the glasses, and followed quietly.

"Long time no see, Yukinoshita-san."

"Really, didn't you say that you should just call me sister?"

Yang Nai smiled gently, while turning her gaze to Ji Cai's direction.

"It's the second time we met, are you Ji Caijiang?"

In response to Yang Nai's question, Ji Cai also politely introduced herself: "Greetings from Jiushu, Mulberry under the snow."

After hearing the introduction, Yang Nai's eyes narrowed lightly, and a very bright smile appeared on his cheeks.

"Yukishoshita-san, it doesn't look like he just came here for a visit today."

Before Yang Nao could make another question, Qian Jian returned the topic to herself again.

"Because I'm my father's agent, and I'm going to say hello to all the distinguished guests... Well, I'm getting bored to death just to say hello."

To Qian Jian's question, Yang Nai also gave the answer frankly.

"It takes more work for those who are capable. Compared with such trivial matters, it is more than enough for Yukinoshita-san."
