Chapter 15 Goodbye, Miss Akimiya
The fireworks festival in Xichun Rijing Town was very good, with red lanterns hanging, and there were many small stalls on both sides of the road, and children were running around, lively and lively.

Higashino walked beside Akemi Akimiya, in the crowd, the distance between the two was only a few centimeters.

On the road, I met an old man selling masks. Higashihiro saw that the fox mask was good, so he bought one and hung it on his face.

Akemi Akimiya made fun of him, "It's really childish."

"It's a pity that there is no Monkey King," Higashino shrugged, "Don't you want it?"

"I," Akemi Akimiya looked at the mask, suddenly her eyes lit up, she took off a white cat mask and put it on, with her hands behind her back, she bounced away, "Higashino-kun, please."

Higashino took out his wallet and handed the money to the stall owner.

The money for watching movies and eating today was all paid by Miss Qiugong. It's just a mask, it's not a big deal.

After paying, he raised his eyes and looked over, Akemi Akimiya had already run away, so he quickly chased after her.

She was squatting in front of the goldfish pond, watching very curiously.

"Higashi-kun, how do you play this?" She looked sideways at Higashi Hibiki, her eyes were moist, like a glistening pool of water.

"I haven't played it before, but it's probably salvaged from a wastebasket, depending on the strength and hand speed." Higashino said to the stall owner: "I want ten copies!"

"Ok!"

Akemi Akimiya started fishing, but the paper was all torn. Apart from the water stains splashed by the goldfish, she had nothing to gain, but she smiled happily.

"Do you want to continue?"

"No, I've already tried."

After that, candy apples, air guns, ferrules...

It's a pity that there is no gain.

Miss Akimiya was really happy tonight. Higashino saw her eyes through the mask, often narrowed into crescent moons, and laughed heartily under the mask.

When I met a big man passing by carrying a shrine, they were wearing naked loincloths, and they were yelling and shouting.

Passionate.

Akemi Akimiya couldn't help but blushed.

"Let's go." She grabbed Dong Yexiang's hand and ran to the side.

It was only when there were few people that he realized it later and let go of Higashino Hibiki's hand.

The crowd was still lively, and Akemi Akimiya's heart became hotter.

"Thank you very much, Higashino-kun, I am very happy today."

"Me too." Higashino crossed his arms and squinted at the starry sky.

Akemi Akimiya turned around, "It's my first time participating in a fireworks display, it's really interesting."

"Is that why you are so excited?" He remembered participating, but this time was the happiest.

"Well," Akemi Akimiya nodded, she looked at Higashino, "Sometimes I really forget that you are still a high school student who is not yet an adult. You are like a peer, no, more mature than me."

"I just know what to do."

"Higashi-kun, I really envy you."

"what?"

"If you want to do something, you have the courage to do it."

"you can also."

The fireworks flew into the sky and made a "boom-explosion!" sound, and then the sky became bright and colorful fireworks bloomed.

Such as an umbrella cover, such as a galaxy, gorgeous and dazzling.

Higashino couldn't help being dazzled.

"Dongfeng night blooms thousands of trees and blows down even more, stars like rain."

Muttering Xin Qiji's poems in his mouth.

"Well," Akemi Akimiya nodded with blurred eyes, "You really worked hard, Higashino-kun, and memorized a lot of poems."

"Miss Qiugong, do you know the last sentence?"

Akimi looked at the sky, overwhelmed by the beauty of this moment, she subconsciously replied: "No."

Dong Yexiang pulled the peaked cap, with the peaks behind his head, and then murmured, "Suddenly looking back, the man was in a dimly lit place."

"Ah?" Akemi Akimiya subconsciously looked over.

Higashino leaned over, the mouths of the two masks touched each other, and left after touching lightly.

"You... what are you doing!" Akemi Akimiya backed away.

"Miss Qiugong, I really regret buying the mask. The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."

"I..." She covered her mask, her face was already flushed.

……

The fireworks show is over, on the way home.

In the countryside in 93, there were very few street lights, and occasionally there were slight lights.

"Please don't do this in the future," Akemi Akimiya walked in front, "You are too young."

"Yes, yes." Higashino nodded obediently, "It's all up to you."

After returning to Akira Toriyama's house, the couple had already gone home and were sitting in the living room watching TV.

"I'm back." Higashino said.

"Welcome home." Toriyama Yumi smiled. Today, she is different from the usual housewife. She has put on makeup, and she can see a bit of her youthful appearance.

"Akimiya, how about the fireworks display?" Akira Toriyama asked, he thought the other party would respond enthusiastically, but unexpectedly Akemi Akimiya went upstairs absent-mindedly.

"What happened to her?" Akira Toriyama was surprised.

"Probably too happy," Higashino said with a smile, "It's a beautiful firework."

"Young people nowadays really haven't seen the world." Akira Toriyama shook his head, ready to make a long speech, "We were..."

"I'm going up." Higashino took a big stride and went to the second floor.

"This kid..." Akira Toriyama was speechless, "What happened tonight?"

……

The next afternoon, someone came to visit, and Akira Toriyama received him at the door and called Akemi Akimiya.

Higashino Hibiki followed along out of curiosity.

There was a black extended Lincoln parked at the door, the rear window glass was lowered halfway, and only the old white hair of the person on the seat could be seen.

"My daughter is bothering you."

"No, it's okay." Akira Toriyama was very stiff.

Higashino wondered, who is he?Didn't get out of the car, very rude.

The shelf is ridiculously large.

He looked at Qiugong Mingmei, she was trembling and her face was pale.

"Is it okay?"

Akemi Akimiya forced a smile, lowered her head, and said softly, "It's okay."

It's strange, without the usual hustle and bustle, it seems to have become a social terror.

It's quite normal in the morning, and I'm happy for her charm.

Higashino gradually understood.

Sure enough, the person in the car said: "I have indulged you for 20 days, and it's time to go home and prepare for a new life."

"Yes, Father." Akimi bowed her head, as gentle as Yamato Nadeko.

With a meekness, he walked towards the opposite side of the car.

Akemi Akimiya's eyelids drooped, she held the handlebar, and finally met Higashi Higashi's eyes, her brows were tightly knit, and she forced a smile.

Uglier than crying.

Higashino took off his hat, put it on his chest and bowed, "Goodbye, Miss Akimiya."

Akemi Akimiya looked at his cropped hair, and burst out laughing with a "puchi".

"Thank you." She opened and closed her mouth without making a sound.

Higashino has been covering it with a hat, not wanting to show his bare head.

Now it is uncharacteristically.

"Goodbye, Higashino-kun."

She got into the car with a smile, sat next to her father, and then drove away.
