Iruma-san wants to win the Akutagawa Prize

And no one can live without regrets in the past.

The alarm clock rings.

It was the song that played in the dream.

That was one of the most successful shows that ended the band.

Ijichi Hongxia even thought that it was unsurpassed, so she used it as a ringtone.

She began to prepare breakfast.

The sun shines brightly in the kitchen at home.

The gurgling water broke the silence in the room, and the tiny splashing water droplets refracted the light, shining on Yidi Zhihongxia's fair forearm with a hint of brilliance.

【This morning's breakfast! 】

She sent a message to Iruma Hibiki after a long time.

Today is the day of reunion.

So it’s okay to let the past continue, right?

Ijichi Hongxia thought so.

After a while, Iruma Hibiki also replied.

His breakfast is a set meal from FamilyMart, a simple large rice ball, and a glass of milk.

I got up early this morning and planned to go to Linhai Park, so I went out to eat.

Iruma Hibiki responded.

Last night's chat with Xiduo was so pleasant.

So much so that Iruma Hibiki had a lot of expectations for today.

【Eh--】

[I won't be late. I plan to take a shower later and then go to Fanxing.]

[The agreed time is 10 o'clock, so don't be too anxious.]

【Um. 】

【Higashi got up early today.】

The Iruma Hibiki that Ijichi Hongxia knew was not a morning person.

Of course, this guy has a very disordered schedule, so maybe he just acted on a whim today.

[Yeah, because I unexpectedly slept well last night.]

[How's Hongxia? Have you had a good rest recently?]

-

The long-awaited question made Yidi Zhihongxia pause.

The pan exuded the aroma of frying fat.

That is the gradually fried bacon. The protein, fat and energy provided by a small piece can make you full of energy in the morning. Combined with bread, eggs, lettuce, pickles and some arbitrary sauces, it is a perfect breakfast.

【I didn’t sleep well last night.】

【What happened? 】

Hibiki Iruma asked.

But he actually knew the reason.

because--

He seemed to be a little cold towards Yidi Chi Hongxia before.

That wasn't intentional.

It was simply that at that time, the topic raised by Ijichi Kouka made Iruma Hibiki not know how to respond.

But that's the reality.

Ijichi Hongxia is the kind of person who can hardly understand the indifference of others.

Do not--

Maybe she could understand.

But she couldn't understand the indifference of some people who were special to her.

Like a flying squirrel.

It will not slide towards strangers, but if it slides towards them and is not caught by someone it trusts, it will die of depression in the cage.

25 Goto Ichiri's Love and Future

Regarding the topic of Crychic, Hibiki Iruma has actually become less shy than before recently.

Goto Ichiri remembered that this was an insurmountable forbidden zone in Shanghai in winter. Although Iruma Hibiki would not get angry every time this topic was brought up, his depressed mood could not be hidden, let alone in Goto Ichiri's eyes.

When did this kind of thing start?

Thinking back carefully, it was roughly around the time when it started at the airport.

It wasn't a romantic situation, nor was it some profound Zen saying like "I've heard more heartfelt confessions at airports than in churches." It was just an ordinary chat.

Iruma Hibiki was dragging a suitcase while holding Goto Ichiri's hand.

Goto Ichiri said at that time:

"Hibiri thinks, after all, it would be better for me to go to university, right?"

She said so.

Maybe I felt scared when I talked about the future.

Hibiki Iruma really wants to go to the University of Tokyo.

Although this was not his ideal at first, he had just heard of it somewhere else, and since the Department of Literature at the University of Tokyo was indeed the most famous, he blurted it out.

But now, it has become one of the targets——

Win the Akutagawa Prize and get admitted to the University of Tokyo, or fail and then spend your entire youth pondering the answer at the University of Tokyo, and then find the answer. In any case, no matter what the result is, it's actually not bad.

So for Hibiki Iruma, university is very important.

He must go to college.

"If it's Yili, do you think about it yourself?"

What Hibiki Iruma said at this moment wasn't particularly considerate.

It's just that he didn't want to make a decision for Goto Ichiri on this matter.

Although he knew that Goto Ichiri never had many opinions of his own, was always easily influenced by the people around him, and was never very firm about the things he liked.

But Hibiki Iruma still didn't want Goto Ichiri to just do what he decided.

Of course, it doesn't mean that I don't have the awareness to take responsibility for the life of the girl in front of me.

only--

There will always be a moment like that.

Even the most obedient child will face the moment of making his own decision.

Even if that moment is fragile, distorted, and incorrect, it is still precious, just like the original ideal, such as the child who said in elementary school that his future ideal is to be a scientist, a policeman, or a firefighter.

Although most of us cannot become these professionals.

But the moment you can say it, it is already very remarkable.

"I have no idea……"

Goto Ichiri said this.

But the tone did not go that far, leaving behind many emotions that wanted to be expressed but could not be expressed.

"But if Hibiki goes to university and I stay in Tokyo, I'll probably be lonely... Ah, of course I'm not saying I want Hibiki to accompany me..."

After Goto Ichiri spoke his true feelings, he immediately added his own supplement.

It's part of her character.

Always stop when asking for what is rightfully yours.

Then immediately refute it.

"only--"

"If Xiang can get into the Department of Literature at the University of Tokyo, I'll be quite happy, so it's okay with me."

"As for university..."

Goto Ichiri fell into thought.

"I can spend more time thinking about it. There's still a lot of time."

"If I suddenly want to go to university later, that would be terrible..."

Goto Ichiri became serious and suddenly said this.

"My grades are terrible, probably to the point where even cramming at the last minute wouldn't be enough..."

Goto Ichiri secretly looked at the profile of Iruma Hibiki.

It's Qi Ersa,?nLeng〈Si〣⒐?qiSansiQUN&——

One thing is certain and irrefutable.

No one can completely let go of the person they love deeply.

This is what happened to Goto Ichiri.

She actually wanted Hibiki Iruma to be by her side all the time, but something else made her control this desire.

"So after returning this time, Yili decided to study hard."

"Hahaha……"

Goto Ichiri laughed it off and showed his timidity before he even started.

Iruma Hibiki also laughed.

"I will make sure you complete your winter vacation homework."

"Eh?!"

"and many more!"

Goto Ichiri tried to struggle.

But at that time, Hibiki Iruma didn't give her a chance.

Of course, the plane didn't give them this opportunity.

Hibiki Iruma once said:

"If I have the chance, I'd like to try taking a long, long boat ride on the sea back to Tokyo."

But this time's return home was a little dazed.

It was as if I was in a daze on the plane, and the memories in another world instantly ushered in the morning and turned into spots in dreams.

Until now——

Goto Ichiri actually doesn't have any special sense of reality.

But every time I chat with Iruma Hibiki, there are indeed many changes.

And she began to think about her future.

That trip actually changed nothing. She still didn't dare to go out or talk to people. Social phobia completely changed everything. Even after a few days, Goto Ichiri didn't understand how she had managed to travel to such a far place alone.

And then of course he lost to his sister.

Goto Jiri pestered her to talk about Iruma Hibiki.
