Chapter 262 256. One step away.

A cold wind blows from the direction she came from, and her long black hair flutters in the air.

She couldn't see any New Year's breath from her body, she was still dressed as usual, no different from the gentle appearance in memory.

The right hand rested on the shoulder strap of the satchel, and the originally slender and white fingers were flushed red by the wind.

A trace of panic flashed across Qingshuiyousha's eyes.

The next moment, Mogami Kazuto noticed that Shimizu Yousha's hand that had been tightly gripping the hem of his clothes had quietly let go.

There was a slight sound of clogs hitting the ground, and Qingshui Yousha moved back a step from his side.

It was also her step that made Kazuto Mogami regain his sanity.

Fortunately, she stepped back.

Otherwise, Kazuto Mogami would find it hard to imagine what he wanted to say just now.

"It's really you, what a coincidence."

The astonishment in Xiaonishi Saori's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by some emotion that Mogami Kazuto could not judge.

Not interested in judging either.

Mogami Kazuto nodded politely.

"Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, Heren."

Xiao Nishi Saori had already put on her usual smile, and immediately looked at Qingshuiyousha, showing a friendly smile.

"Yousha, happy new year, kimono, very beautiful."

"...Well, thank you, and Happy New Year, Saori."

Mogami Kazuto glanced at Qingshuiyousha wordlessly, she looked a little embarrassed and timid, Mogami Kazuto could understand her point.

Compared with Mogami Kazuto, who is calm and breezy, with clear water and sand, he cares more about getting along with Xiaonishi Saori.

She just never expected that she would meet Xiao Nishi Saori here.

Xiao Nishi Saori should be at her parents' house in Kyoto today, why is she still in Tokyo?
There was sand in the clear water and the situation could not be cleared for a while.

Why didn't I go back to Kyoto as promised.

And why did it appear at a shrine near her parents' house.

The place where Xiaoxi Shazhi lives is far away from here, and he came here specially for the New Year's worship, no matter how he thinks about it, he feels something is wrong.

Xiao Xi Saori's expression had already returned to calm at this time, among the three, only Qing Shui Yousha's expression was not very good-looking.

Xiao Nishi Saori is good at hiding his thoughts, but Mogami Kazuto doesn't care who he meets.

No matter whether she is Konishi Saori or Nakanishi Onishi Super Onishi, Mogami Kazuto will not have any strange emotions because of her.

Only clear water has sand, so they can't be as calm and composed as they are.

Both Kazuto Mogami and Saori Xiaonishi noticed that the sand in the clear water reacted abnormally. Saori Xiaonishi thought inwardly and said:
"Is Yousha also coming to worship in the New Year?"

"...Well, I have already visited."

Qing Shui Yousha nodded, her cheek complexion was paler than usual, and she squeezed out an unnatural smile.

For Mogami Kazuto, this was an unimaginable scene. They were obviously close friends, why did they have such expressions when they met.

Mogami Kazuto couldn't be more clear.

However, he couldn't do anything, couldn't say anything.

No matter how calm he is in his heart and how he understands his own mind, in the eyes of others, he always needs to bear the past of "Mogami Katoren".

It's something he absolutely can't shake off.

"Well, I have some business here, so I won't be able to return to Kyoto until tomorrow. I just wanted to visit the shrine when I left. I didn't expect to meet you here."

Xiaoxi Saori explained with a smile, but to Qingshui Yousha's ears, this was not an explanation at all.

She still didn't say why she would come to the shrine so far away from home.

However, these are not really important.

She also didn't explain why she was with Mogami Kazuto, did she?
Even if the water is clear, the woman in front of her has nothing to do with the man around her, and she doesn't need anyone's consent to communicate with this man, let alone her.

But the strong sense of guilt created her current reaction, as well as the one-step distance between her and him.

So far, Qingshui Yousha has imagined such a scene where the three of them meet more than once, but each time, he failed to fully replay it in his mind.

Pure white snow gently piled up on both sides of the slope.

Qing Shui You Sha quietly pinched his fingers tightly, the fibers of his coat still remained in his hands.

"Sa... Saori, Kazuto-san and I are going to have lunch next time, if you want to, also..."

Qing Shui You Sha couldn't complete the sentence, her eyes had already conveyed the words instead of her.

Kazuto Mogami glanced at the clear water and sand, but said nothing.

After Xiaoxi Saori was stunned for a moment, she glanced at Mogami Kazuto unobtrusively, showed a helpless and gentle chuckle, pursed the corners of her mouth, and shook her head silently.

"No, I haven't visited the shrine yet, and I already have dinner with Cai Yin at noon, sorry."

She lied, she did not have such an agreement with Sakura Ayane.

But they will not confirm such a thing, she just needs to find an excuse and disappear from his eyes, just like the previous few months.

Nothing difficult.

She has always been like this, deceiving someone calmly.

To deceive others, to deceive oneself.

It's something she's used to.

She loathes her habits.

"This, so..." Qing Shui Yousha pursed his lips.

Mogami Kazuto seemed to have expected Xiao Nishi Saori's reaction a long time ago, and stood beside him silently, even the look that Xiao Nishi Saori looked at him was caught in his eyes.

When Qingshui Yousha heard Xiaoxi Sazhi's answer, he was secretly relieved.

What follows is a wonderful feeling of guilt and anxiety intertwined.

She found herself afraid to meet her friend's eyes.

Obviously best friends.

Xiao Nishi Saori's smile is as gentle as ever, it is the appearance of a friend in her impression, only Shimizu Yousha herself.

Unknowingly, it seems to have become someone else.

"Well, then I'll go first, there should be more people coming to pay homage later."

Little Nishi Saori lowered her head slightly, and said goodbye to the two of them.

Whether it is Mogami Kazuto, or clear water and sand, they will not say words to persuade them to stay.

Gusts of cold wind, with snowflakes falling from the sky, came from the distant sky.

Russily, it landed on the top of their heads and shoulders.

The white mist that came out of his mouth floated into the air.

Xiao Nishi Saori looked up at the sky, and after only a few moments, he took out the folding umbrella from his satchel and handed it to Qingshuiyousha.

For some reason, her hands trembled.

"Huh?" Qing Shui Yousha looked at her in bewilderment.

"It's snowing, take it with you."

"........."

Seeing that there was no response from Qingshuiyousha, Xiaoxi Saori had no choice but to take Qingshuiyousha's hand and stuff the umbrella into her hand.

"Then... what about you, Saori?"

"It's okay, I'll ask Caiyin to bring some more, and you can hide in the snow in the shrine, it's okay."

"........."

Xiao Nishi Saori backed away with a smile, and waved goodbye to the two.

When passing by Mogami Kazuto, Mogami Kazuto still didn't look at her.

It wasn't until Xiaonishi Saori gradually walked away that Mogami Kazuya turned back silently.

The distant thin figure was touching his shoulder with one hand, tightly pinching the thin shoulder, his figure trembled slightly, and his footsteps seemed a little vain.

He remembered the scene he saw at the hot spring hotel.

Shimizu Yousha looked up at the motionless Mogami Kazuto, feeling complicated.

"Heren-sang."

"........."

He still looked sideways at the back, Qingshui Yousha reached out and tugged at the hem of his clothes that swayed in the wind, with timid worry in his eyes.

"Heren-san, let's go."

Mogami Kazuto silently withdrew his gaze, trying to forget the picture in his mind.

"Ah."
