In this life, we will meet again

Chapter 78
Living until now, this moment may be the happiest moment.

Qingqiu Mai thought so in her heart, but she could understand that this happiness would not last long and would definitely end in a few seconds.

The moment she watched the Baiyuan Fairy Tree rush out of the door, she woke up and realized this.

However, his body still felt like it was wrapped in a warm wet towel, even his toes were warm, and his lips were smiling with joy.

She gently stroked her fingers, and a sweet and helpless feeling surged into her heart——

He wanted to give this place the gift of a lifetime.

When the sight of Baiyuan Immortal Tree was about to disappear from her eyes, Mai Qingqiu chased after her. The playful and smiling children were like falling rainbows, their smiles so dazzling.

When she came outside, she discovered that there were thick cumulus clouds in the sky. In the gradually blurring scenery, only the busy staff in the orphanage and the Baiyuan fairy tree were particularly clear.

The other fragments of the stranger's past are like wind and snow, constantly passing before the eyes, and the running movements of the Baiyuan fairy tree are like a series of negative frames flying by at high speed.

The air, smells, and sounds suddenly changed.

The surroundings are filled with the smell of moisture and fresh green, and there is a downy drizzle. Despite this, all kinds of wild birds are still singing happily.

"Fairy tree!"

Qingqiu Mai shouted, her voice passing through the rain, dew and hazy mist.

At that moment, there seemed to be countless raindrops and countless ripples making sounds together, like mysterious murmurs emerging from the water, giving people the illusion of snow.

Baiyuan Immortal Tree heard her shouting behind him and subconsciously stopped.

At the other end of the drizzle curtain, Qingqiu Mai's delicate figure stood in the hazy drizzle, with hundreds of millions of raindrops and hundreds of millions of ripples all intertwined together.
"I'll be back soon, just wait for me."

Even so, the emotion in Baiyuan Immortal Tree's heart was more majestic than before. He wanted to buy a lot of flowers——

Various roses, tulips, lilies, baby's breath, and phalaenopsis
Let them shine like silent flames in your hands.

Qingqiu Mai's long black hair was dyed with fine water droplets. They were quieter and gentler than real snow.

She walked over, the shoes on her feet were sticky with sand, stones and water, and her voice sounded wet and heavy.

"There is no need to go to the fairy tree, even if there is a bouquet of flowers, I will."

This sentence was like falling into a bottomless stone. It took Baiyuan Immortal Tree a long time to hear it. The heavy stone fell to the bottom with a "thud" sound, making him unable to move.

"Ma Yi? What do you mean?" Baiyuan Immortal Tree's voice was extremely dry.

Qingqiu Mai felt a little scared when she looked at his gaze, and she slightly opened her eyes and said: "So, thank you very much for the past, Immortal Tree."

"."

"I don't want the fairy tree to continue to take care of my thoughts for various reasons."

"You don't want me to take care of you?"

"Of course, that doesn't mean I hate you."

"."

Having said that, Qingqiu Mai didn't say much.

Baiyuan Immortal Tree half-opened her mouth in despair, with a splitting headache. In the unclear corner of her head, she heard intermittent shouting——

"Mai! Don't stand in the rain, you two!"

"That big brother is proposing."

"You can't stand in the rain when proposing!"

Then I heard the sound of long strides and small steps, and the sound of opening an umbrella "pong~".

Dean Pingzhuo's umbrella was gray. He came to the Baiyuan Fairy Tree and said: "Young people, don't think that you can ruin your body when you are young."

After hearing these words, Baiyuan Immortal Tree realized that his face was wet, and the sound of the swaying leaves was clearer than the sound of raindrops falling on the water.

"Sister Mai." Shui Jin Liuli's umbrella is blue and has lace patterns on it.

"Thank you Liuli, let's go."

Qingqiu Mai turned around and walked towards the orphanage accompanied by the sound of rain pounding on the roof.

The uniformly gray sky seemed like someone was holding a big gray net, densely covering this small city.

"Baiyuan?" Dean Pingzhuo suddenly asked, making Baiyuan Immortal Tree stunned for a moment.

"what?"

"Aren't you going in?"

Baiyuan Xianshu looked at Qingqiu Mai's back in astonishment, but she continued walking without hesitation. Every step she took was a deep farewell.

".fine."

He lowered his head in embarrassment, and his originally bright mood became silent in the gloom again.

Children as young as nine years old can interpret the atmosphere. The laughter suddenly disappears, and in the sudden silence, the Baiyuan Fairy Tree can do nothing.

Baiyuan Xianshu could no longer say anything, because Qingqiu Mai's rationality was extremely delicate, and no matter how beautiful her imagination and words were, she could not break through her shackles.

——"I didn't find anything at all, and I didn't question it at all. Didn't I choose the strip of cloth tied around my eyes? I tied it on myself, and also tied it with a loyal knot."

"I'm going back." Baiyuan Immortal Tree whispered.

"Okay." Dean Pingzhuo didn't talk about the donation. He just sighed lightly.

Under the undercurrent of the dark clouds, the extremely smooth cement floor left traces of water absorption on the soles. Every step would raise small water stains, dyeing the color of the trousers darker.

The wind full of spring breath is still icy, and there are countless raindrops dancing as far as the eye can see.

At this moment, Baiyuan Immortal Tree suddenly had goosebumps all over his body.

The distant sea rose and fell like a breath, and the black sky conspired with the sea to drown everything like a mischief.

He was frightened from the bottom of his heart, rushed to the station in a panic, and fled Ichinoseki City.

◇

The white exterior walls of the apartments in Fujisawa City have an extraordinary style, and the green handrails on the stairwells seem to be in line with the "fashion" pursued by young people.

On the night when he returned to Fujisawa, Baigen Senshu quickly moved out of Kiyoaki Mai's apartment like an ant predicting that it was going to rain.

The interior of the newly rented apartment was incredibly spacious, it was 3LDK, and there was even room for a large tripod piano.

After tidying up the apartment, he sat alone on the sofa and couldn't bear the suffocating silence. He took out his mobile phone and sent messages to Kurosawa Ai and others about his latest residence.

Chitose Toru and the others who were closest did not come, so he tried to talk to the cat on the balcony next door several times, but it always ignored him listlessly.

At one o'clock in the morning, Kurosawa Ai came with her long black hair tied into a beautiful ponytail.

Baiyuan Xianshu looked at her in half surprise, just like he was surprised when he saw her busy in his kitchen for the first time.

"Good morning, Fairy Tree."

Kurosawa Ai showed a smile that did not understand the meaning, but he no longer had the intention to interpret the content.

"Want to watch a movie?" she asked with a smile, "I bought one on the way."

"Now?"

"Isn't this the time to watch movies?"

"it is good."

At one o'clock in the morning, the two sat on the sofa together and watched "Forrest Gump".

The protagonist Forrest Gump was remembering the past in front of Jenny's grave. When he said "I miss you so much, Jenny", facing this beautiful scene, Baiyuan Fairy Tree couldn't help but shed tears.

"It's useless to cry while watching a movie."

Kurosawa Yaoai put his delicate arms around the shoulders of Baiyuan Immortal Tree, and gently stroked his hair with a hand smaller than his palm.

The movie ends and the credits begin to roll.

The pale beam of subtitles illuminated the two of them, and in that light, their eyes met.

"What if kissing someone who is in a bad mood makes me feel bad too?"

"...I didn't say I wanted to kiss." Hearing what he said, Kurosawa Yoko's left eyebrow twitched.

"I'm tired. Let's go to bed first. Good night."

"I just made a bed."

"What does it have to do with me? You are not allowed to climb up."

After finishing speaking, Kurosawa stood up quickly and went back to Baiyuan Immortal Tree's room to go to bed.

◇

Kurosawa did not leave the next day, and the two suddenly fell into a wonderful cohabitation life.

Baiyuan Xianshu didn't go to class either. He asked for leave from the school, saying he had a high fever and needed to take several days off. The school wanted to send a teacher to visit him, but he refused.

Because he had been playing games and watching movies with Kurosawa in the living room, and sometimes she would force them to practice yoga together.

"I'm starting to do yoga now."

"I remember you mentioned practicing yoga before, right? Kirishima and the others were still doing gymnastics at that time."

"I lied to you then."

"What did you lie to me for?"

“At that time, women on TV said they were attractive when they practiced yoga.”

“Shake love was always very attractive back then.”

"."

Kurosawa Ai looked really cute with a pout and a frown glaring at him, but Baiyuan Xianshu never said anything else from the beginning to the end.

He just held her hand like a puzzle piece and started practicing yoga awkwardly.

The two spent nearly a week in the apartment. Sometimes she would go back to Tokyo to get a change of clothes, and she would come back the same day.

The burden of cooking fell on the shoulders of Baiyuan Xianshu. He didn't want Kurosawa Yao to eat the fast food he usually ate, so he always took great pains to prepare exquisite meals.

She ate with gusto.

There was no sexual behavior between the two of them during their cohabitation, and even Baiyuan Xianshu found it unbelievable.

It would be good if he could contain his desire. Kurosawa Ai's ability to contain this feeling was completely beyond his imagination.

"Why don't you come and kiss me?" He couldn't help but sit down on Kurosawa's body and touch her warm skin.

Kurosawa's body temperature was higher than he imagined. He stared at the girl's graceful figure. The girl was immersed in a pile of complete works and selected movies.

"You take the initiative to ask for my affection. I'm the most attractive, aren't you?"

"."

Baiyuan Xianshu looked at Kurosawa Yaoai in astonishment. She smiled seductively and leaned against him.

The soft long hair touched her chin, and the gentle fragrance surrounded the Baiyuan Fairy Tree.

He gently hugged Kurosawa's small shoulders, and she didn't resist. Instead, she rubbed against his chest like a cat looking for the warmest area.

"I thought you looked down on me." Baiyuan Immortal Tree said with a bitter smile.

Kurosawa Ai suddenly pulled out a video from the collection, and the disc, which was reflective under indoor light, hit him in the face with a "snap".

"My love and enthusiasm were all given to you at the winter station."

Her words are simple, quiet, and beautiful, as deep as the bottom of the sea.

Seeing the smile on her lips, Baiyuan Immortal Tree responded with a smile.

He took off the disc attached to his cheek, hugged Kurosawa's soft and sweet body tightly, and rubbed her cheek.

"Want it?"

Her words turned into provocative thorns, constantly prodding the heart of Baiyuan Immortal Tree.

The tip of his nose touched the base of her rosy ears.

"After what you said, I really want to vent my anger. Can you help me?"

Kurosawa shook Ai's fair hand and gently pulled his collar, his eyes charming and affectionate.

"Then what do you want to do to me next?"

"I'll be rude, so be careful."

After Baiyuan Xianshu finished speaking, he directly picked up Princess Kurosawa and placed her on the shoe cabinet in the entrance.

"You want to be here? Is this your rude way?" She raised her foot teasingly and rubbed his thigh.

"Be quiet."

Baiyuan Xianshu immediately knelt down and put on her shoes.

then--

He carried her to a nearby indoor gymnasium and played table tennis for an hour, making her sweaty.

On the way back, Kurosawa often called him a fool and used various insulting words.

◇

One morning a week later, Baiyuan Xianshu got up from the sofa and yawned all the way to the bathroom.

The dark circles under his eyes that he had when he returned from Ichinoseki City were no longer visible in the mirror. He looked at the luxury cosmetics on the shelf and sincerely thanked Kurosawa Ai.

When you come to the balcony, the air is as fresh as if it has just been filtered, which makes you feel very comfortable. The clouds in the sky are far away.

Baiyuan Xianshu leaned on the railing with his arms, thinking that he had to go to class today. It was a trivial matter to lie to the teacher, and he couldn't let Yao Ai stay here with him forever.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

When he picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, Baiyuan Xianshu didn't think too much and picked it up directly.

"Hello?"

"Hello, is this the Baiyuan Immortal Tree?"

There was a slightly familiar uncle's voice on the other end of the microphone, and Baiyuan Senshu immediately thought of Dean Pingzhuo of Ichinoseki City.

Having said that, I haven't contacted him about donating money this week, so I should be the one who feels ashamed.

"Is it me, Dean Pingzhuo? Sorry, about the donation..." Baiyuan Immortal Tree's tone was full of embarrassment.

"No, that's not what I called to say."

Dean Pingzhuo's voice seemed a little urgent. At the same time, he heard the sound of someone covering his mouth and crying, as well as the shouts of various people, a mess like firecrackers during the festival.

"what happened?"

"It's little Mai, Mai. This is it."

Dean Pingzhuo seemed to be looking for the right words, and sounded a little incoherent, which made Baiyuan Immortal Tree slow down for half a beat.

"Pingzhuo, please make it clear." Because the other party was too ink-blank, he even forgot the honorific.

"The welfare home arranged for the children to go camping in Angua Mountain, but one of the children ran into the lake to play. Little Mai went to save him before he came up."

Dean Pingzhuo's words were not even finished as they were covered up by the cries of many children. Baiyuan Immortal Tree did not hear what was said afterward.

And he completely forgot about even blinking, just sitting on the cold tiles blankly and exhausted.

At that moment, he saw Fujisawa's snowy night.

He knew exactly what this meant.

Qingqiu Mai disappeared from her own world again——
