In this life, we will meet again

Chapter 72 71. In Iwate Prefecture, with a strange girl (2)

You can hear the cars honking loudly outside, and the water is getting darker and darker.

The door was opened.

"Xian Shu, are your friends here?"

Like dead leaves blown away by the wind, the soft voice "rustles" caresses the heart of the Baiyuan fairy tree.

At the entrance, a girl with a model figure came into view. Her beautiful and upright face was impressive, and her long straight black hair was lustrous and soft.

It's just that she still has fresh ingredients bought in the supermarket, which doesn't match her style.

Qingqiu Mai seems to have rushed over from a certain scene, her slightly powdered face is more beautiful than before, and under the orange light, her profile is more mature than usual.

"Okay, although I bought it for two people, I don't need to eat the fairy tree yet." Qingqiu Mai glanced at the extra loafers at the entrance, hooked her fingers into the heels, and cast a glance at the Baiyuan fairy tree. smile.

She didn't seem to have much defense against this "outsider", which made Baiyuan Immortal Tree's mood extremely complicated, like barnacles all over it.

"I thought you wouldn't come back today."

I originally wanted to say this very calmly, but naturally it would seem weird if I was too focused.

Kiyoaki Mai pressed the hem of her skirt, squatted down gracefully with her legs together, and put her own shoes and Kurosawa Ai's shoes into the shoe cabinet.

"What are you talking about? It sounds like a term for cheating on some TV series. Let me meet your friend."

"Is it okay? You are a star."

Baiyuan Immortal Tree coped with it and desperately searched for words to open up the situation in his mind.

However, before he could think of a suitable conversation, Mai Kiyoaki had already arrived in the living room.

When she saw the exquisite sushi platter on the table and a girl whose appearance and charm were almost the same as hers, the expression on her face suddenly became strange.

Kurosawa Ai didn't even intend to care at first, and was still eating sushi slowly.

However, when Qingqiu Mai appeared in front of her, her gaze changed from a slight glance, to averting her gaze, to frowning, to staring, and the expression on her face changed like a roller coaster.

"Baiyuan Immortal Tree, you are really capable."

Kurosawa raised the corner of his mouth, but his tone didn't sound like he was laughing, it was more of a joke.

She didn't care who Baiyuan Xianshu's girlfriend was from the beginning, because she understood that there were few girls who were better than her, and even if there were, they were only a few.

But there are only a few girls carrying supermarket shopping bags in front of them.

Mai Qingqiu had a friendly smile on her face, she put her hands in front of her and bowed slightly and said, "Hello, this is the first time we meet. I am Mai Qingqiu, the girlfriend of Bai Yuan Senshu."

Hearing the words, Kurosawa folded his arms meaningfully, raised his fair face and said, "I didn't expect that Mai Qingqiu would be Xianshu's girlfriend, can you tell me?"

"Since you are here, Immortal Tree must regard you as a very good friend, and I don't have to hide it." Qingqiu Mai said with a smile, "If you don't mind, can I cook something more and eat together?"

"Immortal tree~~ What should I do now? Stay for dinner?" Kurosawa snorted coldly from his nose.

Hearing her name for Bai Yuanxian, Qingqiu Mai's expression became quite unpleasant for a moment, and she turned her head to stare at Bai Yuanxian.

"what happened?"

Baiyuan Immortal Tree's eyes turned dark, and his heart seemed to have stopped beating. Was he suffering from a lack of blood?
"Uh, she is Kurosawa Ai, she is mine."

"I am his girlfriend, and we dated him in February this year." Kurosawa put his slender fingers on his chin, and his pink lips outlined a dangerous arc, "It seems that I love him more than you, and I came earlier than you. "

Kurosawa's words were beyond Mai Qingqiu's expectations. Her beautiful brows slightly furrowed, and her calm but oppressive voice turned into an invisible wall pressing against the Baiyuan Fairy Tree.

"What's going on?" she repeated.

Baiyuan Xianshu looked away awkwardly and said, "Well, that's it, but..."

"It seems like I came at the wrong time. I'm sorry to bother you."

Kiyoaki Mai didn't take Bai Yuan Xian Shu's words seriously at all. She directly picked up the supermarket shopping bag and walked back to the entrance to put on her shoes.

Her movements were done in one go, without any sloppiness.

Kurosawa Ai didn't seem to care about the atmosphere at all, and looked at the defeated girl smiling happily, which greatly reduced the courage of Bai Yuan Senshu to completely dare to face Qingqiu Mai.

Baiyuan Immortal Tree looked at her delicate back as she was about to leave, feeling reluctance and the fear of being abandoned that day in the snowy night, attacking him like an angry wave.

"Mai, please let me explain things clearly."

"Boyuan, don't speak."

Kiyoaki Mai walked to the elevator with a blank face, and pressed the elevator down.

The elevator descends from the 23rd floor and will reach the [-]th floor in a few seconds.

Baiyuan Immortal Tree did not dare to watch the bright red number go down. Every change in the number announced the countdown.

"Mai, actually Kurosawa and I."

"I don't want to be your backup, Bai Yuan."

Qingqiu Mai's voice passed by her ears, her voice was like an ice cube made of pure water, endlessly transparent and cold.

Baiyuan Immortal Tree froze on the spot.

"Spare tire?"

——I have never thought of it that way.

Qingqiu Mai's thin lips were trembling slightly, and the black pupils staring at him were flashing with intense pain and despair.

"Isn't it? If I weren't a spare tire, I would be your toy?"

"Mai, that's not the case."

Baiyuan Immortal Tree is like a child who can't see clearly, can only escape, is stupid and powerless, even if he wants to explain, he can't explain it.

"I know I didn't stay with Baiyuan a few years ago because of work, and I'm sorry." Qingqiu Mai's breathing suddenly became rapid, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I originally wanted to retire and stay with you to make up for you, but I You’re so pretentious.”

"."

Seeing Qingqiu Mai bow her head deeply, guilt filled Baiyuan Xianshu's chest.

I once said that I wanted to give Qingqiu Mai happiness, but at this time, Kurosawa Ai was involved.

——"I am the one who clearly failed to respond to expectations."

From beginning to end, I couldn't piece together a word that could be considered an excuse. In the sticky silence, the elevator arrival bell rang.

"Just send it here." Mai Qingqiu walked into the elevator alone, frowning, looking at him with a depressed expression, "Xianshu, we broke up, you are right, I was wrong."

A thick and solemn voice like a hymn echoed in my ears.

It felt like a summary of the past. Baiyuan Xianshu felt that his eyes were dark, his throat was about to split, and the guilt of being pierced in his chest continued to spread in his body.

At the end of the corridor, a full moon hung in the night sky outside the window. It was like daylight, reflecting palely on the drifting clouds in the wind.

Baiyuan Xianshu stood in front of the elevator for a long time, feeling as if he was enveloped by a thin layer of dark clouds, unable to think or feel anything.

However, when he thought about losing Mai Qingqiu in the future, the dark sky suddenly seemed like thunderclouds pressing down on the city, and the blankness of the snowy night turned into severe pain and hit him.

This pain tortured Baiyuan Immortal Tree so much that he couldn't bear to die. He hurriedly pressed the elevator, but he felt that the numbers starting from "1" jumped up extremely slowly.

He ran to the stairwell and rushed to the first floor as fast as he could.

Panting, she came outside the apartment and searched the narrow road. Mai Qingqiu was nowhere to be seen.

The cold night air caressed the skin, and the heat caused by exercise was quickly drained from the body.My heart was beating wildly, and the hand holding the phone was sweating.

Even though he knew that Mai Qingqiu would not answer the phone call, Baiyuan Xianshu still chose to call.

Sure enough, the ringing lasted for more than 30 seconds, and the last thing I heard was the same apology from the communication company.

"."

Baiyuan Immortal Tree is like a fatal hole opened in the body. No matter where you look, all your emotions will be drained from that hole.

He stood there blankly and found that there were no stars in the night sky, and no residents walking their dogs passed by. He didn't even see dog feces.

The sweat cooled down, and a chill that made him want to vomit surrounded him. The sushi he had eaten earlier was spasming in his stomach, and it was like a black storm raging inside his body.

He couldn't stand it anymore and turned around and walked back to the apartment.

When entering the hall, Kurosawa Ai was walking out slowly.

"I didn't expect her endurance to be so bad." She looked sideways at the cheek of the Baiyuan Immortal Tree with a superior attitude of a "winner" and said, "You want me to stay with you? You don't seem happy."

Baiyuan Xianshu shook his head and said, "No, I'll find a taxi to take you back."

Kurosawa Yaai showed an unpredictable and teasing smile: "Aren't you angry with me?"

"I don't want to become more disgusting." A bitter smile appeared on Baiyuan Immortal Tree's face.

What right did he have to be angry?There was only one person who did something wrong from beginning to end, and that was himself.

Kurosawa rubbed his chin with his small fingers, stretched out his hand to caress the cheek of Baiyuan Immortal Tree, and said with sweet words as if wrapped in glutinous rice:

"Xian Shu, wouldn't it be better for us to be together? Just the two of us, I will really love you."

Listening to her destructive words, Baiyuan Immortal Tree's throat trembled slightly. He had no time to think because the answer was already spoken before he thought about it——

"I can't lose Mai again."

◇

The next morning, the sky was slightly overcast.

Bai Yuan Senshu confirmed the amount of precipitation in Fujisawa today, and then put the folded umbrella into his backpack.

Just when I was thinking about going out to rent a house during this period, my mother called me to express my condolences.

"Have you eaten well? Don't eat bread at noon just because of trouble, don't eat too much at night, and don't spend money lavishly."

"Yeah, I can eat it."

"If you have a holiday, you can come to Yokohama. Come and see your dad when you have time. He is practicing golf recently, so you can play."

"Well, I will go."

If he is really free, he will most likely not go to Yokohama, but choose to go back to Odawara to see Baozi who is being taken care of by his neighbor.

"Immortal tree? Are you in a bad mood?" Baiyuan Miyuki was keenly aware of the change in her son's tone, and her voice seemed a bit complicated.

Baiyuan Xianshu tried his best to keep his tone cheerful and said with a smile: "I plan to have seafood rice bowl for lunch. If my appetite is suitable, I will add strawberry pudding."

"Be sure to eat enough."

"Okay, I'm going out."

After hanging up the phone and putting on my shoes, there was a chill in my feet.

The petals of the cherry blossoms danced in the air, flying in the wind from across the street. The rich seasonal scent almost made the Baiyuan Fairy Tree breathless.

How should I tell Qingqiu Mai, should I say it openly and honestly——

"Mai-senpai, I like you very much, but I also like Kurosawa very much. She has also paid a lot for me, so please let me be on two boats, I don't want to lose you all."

It sounds so stupid!
Baiyuan Immortal Shu frowned, but after a few seconds, he slapped his face in embarrassment because he suddenly realized that this stupid statement was the truth.

——Is it true that most of the truth in the world is nonsense?
On the way to Fujisawa Station, my head was still groggy, but I still couldn't forget to go into the convenience store to buy a bento.

He was wavering between caramelized salmon rice and seafood octopus rice. The price of both was only 520 yen, which he could afford.

But why bother about which one to buy?Can't you buy them all?When I have a good appetite, I can also buy a strawberry and chocolate cake, which makes it three.

I also want to eat the giant chicken chop, bone-in pork chop and salad set menu, and the grilled chicken skin, which is particularly popular among students, is also a must-have.

The accompanying drink should be lychee drink, right?No, I also like drinking Coke, right?Why not take it too?
Baiyuan Xianshu took and put away the goods in the convenience store, walking back and forth.

When they came to the checkout counter, the female clerk with tea hair stared blankly at the lunch boxes piled on the table.

There are four staple foods, a lot of snacks, and several bottles of drinks, which is quite full.

She raised her hair on her cheeks, and said with a shy smile to Baiyuan Immortal Tree, "Wow, you have a big appetite."

"Really? But I have to tell you one thing, that is, I must be able to finish it. Since I bought it, I have to take this responsibility. Don't doubt that I will throw it away. I can't throw it away."

"Uh-oh wow~~That's awesome~"

The female clerk's expression gradually changed from shyness when seeing a handsome guy to fear of meeting a person with a mental illness.

◇

"No, Bai Yuan, are you going to send us lunch boxes? That's great! Can you choose?"

When he arrived at school and entered the class, Chitose Tetsu saw Bai Yuan Senshu walking in with a big bag of lunch, and his face suddenly showed an expression of joy.

Baiyuan Xianshu slapped away his outstretched hand and stuffed the bag into the cabinet.

"This is what I had for lunch."

"Forget it if you have too much food, why did you buy so much water? Are you a buffalo?"

"There's nothing wrong with my urinary system."

"Is it a urinary system problem? Are you stupid because school has started? Do you want to see how much you bought? Even if Patrick Star comes, you won't be able to finish it!"

Sumire Wateda, who was chatting with Kirishima Glass, turned around and said, "Patrick can finish his meal."

"Even if Pai Daxing can finish eating, Bai Yuan can't finish eating." Chitose Toru said.

Baiyuan Xianshu ignored him and got up directly to go to the second grade, preparing to find Qingqiu Mai.

As expected, she missed out. She was not found in the class at all, so she had to find a senior sister in the same class.

"Looking for Qingqiu classmate? Well, it seems you haven't come." She showed a confused expression and said with a smile, "Are you a junior from Bai Yuan? Can you leave your contact information? What club do you want to join in the future? Senior sister, you can I’ll take you with me.”

"Where is the position of Senior Qingqiu?"

"Hold your head, man." The senior complained in a low voice and pointed to the last row by the window.

The chairs were not pulled out. If it was not intentional, then Mai Kiyoaki really did not come to school today.

The most effective way at present is to find Qingqiu Mai's class teacher.

But if you ask, the teacher will probably think that he is a hormonal court boy, and in this case he will never tell him.
