Even the whole world is trying to match us up

Chapter 179 Unique Rose

The third day of the school trip was at Kurama Temple.

Anma Temple is a quiet ancient temple, hidden among the green trees.

The architectural style of the temple is simple and elegant, and the red walls and yellow tiles are particularly eye-catching under the sunlight.

The stone steps in front of the temple are mottled with moss, giving off a sense of vicissitudes of history.

"The weather is so nice." Natsume Qingyu raised his head happily.

The sky was as blue as a summer swimming pool, and a foam cloud slowly moved to the roof of the brick house.

Among the gaps in the mottled roof, a small tree tenaciously poked its figure out.

Probably because in autumn, it lost all its leaves and looked bare.

But the clouds are hiding behind it, and it looks like the leaves have fallen off and grown into clouds.

"Yes." Hatsukano Suzune opened her right hand, raised it high, and squinted at the sky through her fingers.

After putting on the incense and smelling of sandalwood, everyone came down the mountain one after another.

Natsume Kiyoha and Hatsukano Suzune fell behind as usual.

The classmates didn't interfere with them too much. When they met by chance, they all showed the devilish expressions of "I know everything".

At the foot of the mountain is a spacious road with lush trees on both sides, mostly maples.

Walking quietly on this road with others can bring back precious memories of eating dinner in your hometown and strolling through the fields to eat.

A little girl selling flowers walked towards her. Natsume Kiyoha bought a beautiful rose on a whim and wanted to give it to Hatsukano Suzune, but she was ruthlessly rejected.

"By the way, has Minister Hatsuro Ye ever seen "The Little Prince"?" The young man rolled the flower branches between his fingers and said slowly.

"Yes." Encyclopedia replied calmly.

"While I was reading "The Ancient Capital" recently, I also took the time to read "The Little Prince." Natsume Qingyu continued to talk, looking at the road leading to late autumn in front of him, and continued to move forward.

"Yes." Hatsugano Suzune followed lightly.

"Before I opened that thin little book, I never understood why such a fairy tale-like book could often appear in movies and the adult world. Until I read it, I was surprised I discovered that the author is a romantic genius.”

Natsume Kiyoha actually lied. As early as when he was in Dongguo, he borrowed a beautiful picture book about "The Little Prince" from high school. At that time, he couldn't understand it and thought it was a very ordinary story.

"I went to the cinema to watch "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas" with my junior high school classmates. At the end of the movie, the lonely mood of the little prince and the dying rose appeared.

Several girls in the cinema burst into tears, but he just felt a little sad at most.

When the movie ended and the lights were turned on, I hugged the popcorn that I got tired of halfway through, patted my butt and left.

I don’t think it’s too sad, or maybe it’s the reservedness of boys in front of girls.

But now that I think about it.

It is an extremely romantic thing to grow a beautiful rose on a lonely planet.

It's so romantic that even if the little prince came to the earth and saw thousands of roses, and realized that what he was caring for was just an ordinary one, he still couldn't let it go.

After all, even though there are countless roses in the world, his rose is still unique because he watered it, protected it, spoke with her, and was silent with her..."

The young man said a lot in one breath, and then recalled the different appearance of the girl in front of him, and asked casually: "Do you still remember the day we just met?"

"Ah."

"What I was thinking at the time was that the school is so big, how could we get lost? Also, it is not cost-effective to act as a tour guide during school hours if you are kind enough to lead the way." Natsume Qingyu said with a smile. The color of memories.

"In the end, someone didn't become a qualified tour guide. Instead, he took me to eat a bowl of ramen." Hatsugano Suzune slightly raised her slender neck and pushed the hair that had fallen down on her temples behind her ears, her face slightly red. , and added softly, "Although the ramen tastes really good...it's simply impressive."

When the girl said the last sentence, her eyes became sharp.

"Wow wow wow, I still remember your attitude towards me when I first joined the club. You wanted to pick up a broom and kick me out." Natsume Qingyu suddenly scratched the back of his head and tried to fight back.

"In the book "The Little Prince", there is also a fox who often stays in the wheat field, isn't it?" Hatsukano Suzune suddenly brought the topic back to books.

"Yeah, so what?" Natsume Qingyu didn't understand what she meant for a while.

"The handsome little prince met a fox, and he really wanted to date him. But the fox refused to play with him, because to him at that time, the little prince was just an 'ordinary' boy. It's the same as thousands of other boys." Hatsukano Suzune stared at the treetops nearby, and then looked at Natsume Qingha, with a beautiful and moving light flowing in her eyes, "For the little prince, isn't it the same with foxes? "

"I think, yes..." Natsume Qingyu responded softly, his brain gradually understanding everything, and he even felt admiration in his heart.

"So the fox told him, but if you tame me, we will become indispensable to each other. I can also distinguish you from thousands of footsteps. From now on, as long as you hear footsteps like music , you will know that it is not a danger, but that if you come, you will come out of the cave and watch the waves of wheat quietly together." Hatsukano Suzune turned around when she saw this, and walked gracefully along the white line, with her hands behind her back, Gradually, a beautiful smile appeared, as if he was telling an incredible fairy tale.

"But in the story, the fox cried." Natsume Qingyu's words were half hidden.

"It's like this. If you want to form a bond with someone, you have to start taking the risk of crying."

Hatsukano Suzune nodded in agreement, and suddenly stretched her fingers together in a girlish way, and said with relief, "But, even that. The fox also got a lot of benefits, such as the appearance of the little prince, making it fall in love with him forever. Listen to the sound of the wind blowing the wheat waves, because that will make the lonely fox feel special again."

Many ordinary but beautiful things flashed through the mind of this graceful girl.

The pleasant breeze blew inside her head, filling her heart with a whole piece of autumn.

"wrong."

Natsume Qingyu suddenly stopped and called the girl in front of him as if calling out the other person's name.

The broad road suddenly became windy.

A rain of maple leaves fell above their heads.

"?"

Hatsukano Suzune turned around as lightly as if she were at a night dance, and looked at him.

Before they knew it, they were separated by four or five meters.

At this moment, the middle is covered with dry maple leaves.

For some reason, Natsume Kiyoha's last conversation with Hatsugano Heizo that day clearly appeared in his mind.

'Then let me ask you, is short companionship a punishment or a reward? '

'You are rewarded if you are not greedy. '

'Is it? That's good. '

'But how can you not be greedy if you have it? '

Roses have been thorny from the beginning, but there are still many people who want to get in touch with them.

"That's not the fox's fault. The little prince himself is a scumbag. He let the rose wither and then tamed the fox. After leaving the fox, he found that the rose he missed was no longer there." Natsume Qingyu only stepped on the maple leaves. Go up to her while defending.

"Member Natsume, do you know why The Little Prince is the most read and sold book in the world? It's because the philosophy it contains is more than superficial scum. Isn't it the same for real people? It is a very common thing to find a new love when you love it, and look back at the past, and it is no longer there." Hatsukano Suzune kept staring at his special eyes, and as he got closer, she slowly raised her head eye.

At the same time, she also didn't understand. Natsume's mood suddenly fluctuated due to something that suddenly occurred to her.

But of course the boy understood what she said. The young prince left his original planet and wanted to see a bigger world.

He did see a lot, including kings, drunkards, businessmen and lamplighters. Meeting so many different kinds of people, he found that this huge world seemed to be nothing more than this.

Everyone is very busy, so busy that few people will stay with him all the time.

So, he began to miss the day when he could watch the sunset 44 times.

In order to return, he followed a snake into a garden of 5000 roses.

After discovering that his rose did not seem to be unique, he went to look for a fox in the field in sadness.

And that fox also sheds tears.

"Yes, this is a very common thing in this era." Natsume Qingyu paused, "Not everyone is that little prince, everyone's approach will be different, everyone's story There will be differences.”

"If it were you, what would you do?" Hatsugano Suzune asked in surprise.

"It depends. When I was loneliest, the person who accompanied me was a rose or a fox." Natsume Qingyu was childish enough to confidently put his hands on his hips, and with a smile in his eyes, he gave a rather heroic answer.

There are thousands of roses in the world, and there are also thousands of foxes.

But don’t forget, there are thousands of little princes.

"It's so cunning." Hatsukano Suzune sighed softly as if she couldn't bear it, and then showed a satisfied smile.

"You're not bad either." Natsume Qingyu added not to be outdone.

"Let's go, don't fall too far behind."

"Wait a minute, I have an idea."

"what?"

Natsume Qingyu didn't respond. He squatted on the ground, picked up some fallen leaves and piled them together. He moved the outline with his hands, just like a painter improvising.

Hatsukano Suzune didn't disturb him, she calmed down, half-leaning her body, carefully looking at the pile of fallen leaves, wondering what tricks he would play.

As time passed, a prototype of a character slowly appeared on the leaves on the ground. The bouquet of roses in his hand that someone had disliked was gently placed on the ground to form a perfect painting.

It's the little prince and the rose.

"How's it going? Am I good?!" Natsume Qingyu stood up and shouted after he was done.

The fragile maple leaves lost another flower.

"Awesome, awesome." Hatsukano Suzune clapped her hands to match the atmosphere, "But it feels like..."

"What does it feel like?"

"It doesn't feel as good as your "Maple Blowing Around the Mouth"." Hatsugano Suzune covered her lips with her hands and curled her eyes.

"Okay, you actually ran to the art classroom to peek at my masterpiece while I wasn't paying attention."

"Obviously, some people put it in the most conspicuous position with great fanfare. I believe that anyone with normal eyesight can notice it." Suzune Hatsukano crossed her arms around her chest and raised the volume slightly.

"I don't care, one day I will also see the paintings that you can't see." Natsume Qingyu was as unreasonable as a child.

"Shameful? Ah, this master, didn't you keep saying before that time will prove the true art? Why did it deteriorate so quickly?" Hatsugano Suzune smiled while stroking her hands.

"It's not deterioration, it's sublimation." Natsume Kiyoha firmly said, "I hope your works will also have art that has been proven by time."

"certainly……"

Hatsukano Suzune thought of something, snorted softly, and stopped talking.

They chatted about literature, the future of the ministry, and clips from a certain comedy variety show.

A psychiatrist once said that people only like to talk nonsense when they feel happy.

What is nonsense?

It refers to words that have no specific logic or specific margins and can be used as a daily opening statement.

E.g.

"It's time to go to school."

"going to finish get off work."

"Wait a minute, will it rain?"

"I woke up so early in the morning, so sleepy."

"I bought something I like to eat today."

and many more.

If 90% of what someone says in a day is nonsense, that person must be very happy.

If no more than 50% of them are nonsense in a day, then this person is not very happy.

You may be more or less anxious inside, and over time you will subconsciously hide your emotions.

You can tell someone about your life experiences that loneliness can become a soliloquy, and get a fairly polite response.

It is a small blessing that can add happiness to an ordinary life.

Therefore, Natsume Qingyu is very happy now.

Youyou continued walking along the white markings beside the road.

Natsume Qingyu suddenly stopped and stared at the white line on the ground.

There is a chip on the maple leaf, probably caused by a leaf accidentally falling on it while it was being painted.

"What's going on?" Hatsugano Suzune came over and asked.

Natsume Qingyu raised his eyes, fell into the drama for a second, and said like a gentleman:
"Miss Maple Leaf, my only characteristic comes from the part you took away."

Hatsugano Suzune was stunned for a moment and said nothing, then turned around and walked forward step by step, stepping on the dry leaves on the ground, making a clear sound.

He stared at the next road intersection where fallen leaves were flying.

She walked a little slowly, but also very leisurely.

He was probably thinking about whether people at the next intersection would still be in a hurry.

Thinking about how to reply.

After a moment of silence, Hatsukano Suzune spread her arms, twisted her waist, and looked back with a smile very naturally.

"Mr. Shiroji, then I will take your part with me throughout the entire autumn of Kyoto."
