How rude, we are pure love!

Her eyes uncontrollably fell on the familiar words, and then her eyes slowly widened.

P.S.: I will continue to update tomorrow! (Hands on hips)

081. White Moonlight Still Adding Buffs [7K3]

This evening.

"Um... should I call you Kashiwagi Eri-sensei?"

In the conference room of Dengeki Bunko, the short-haired woman who served as the deputy editor-in-chief looked at the girl in front of her with a hat covering her face, her eyes full of curiosity.

Thirty minutes ago, a famous painter in the inner world suddenly came to visit her. After reading his resume, she started negotiating the job without hesitation.

The beautiful painting style that has won numerous awards at joint exhibitions of art academy students' works and has caused countless 2D artists to make mistakes... For Bunko, which is extremely eager for illustrators, this is an extremely rare opportunity.

“Yes, I would like to cooperate with your company…”

Eriri showed an extremely confident smile. Now she can be called the super version of Kashiwagi Eri. Her experience level has been improved in all aspects, so she can make some slightly excessive demands!

"Mr. Yingli, if you are interested, we and other writers would love to have you join us."

After looking at the other party's exquisite work again on the computer, the deputy editor said without hesitation.

"I have only one condition..."

Eriri's eyes flickered slightly.

"When you decide to publish a work, only I can illustrate it!"

——Late April.

One night on a weekend, Miss Yang Noi suddenly sneaked into the adolescent boy's room and whispered this in his ear.

"Xue-no has been quietly going out every afternoon at around 4 or 5 recently. I'm a little worried. Could you please help me investigate?"

So, I took on the side quest issued by my sister.

"Anyway, he must have gone to play with the cat."

With this thought in mind, the next day, after Yukinoshita changed her shoes and walked out of the courtyard, Qingye followed her secretly.

The fresh scent of grass fills my nose, cherry blossoms fall and wither, the breeze blows, and the ground is covered with beautiful flowers. It is a perfect day.

Yukinoshita in front turned left, and he also turned left. The two maintained the same pace until they came to a tree in a deserted park, playing with two little Kimis with a happy face.

——It is indeed like that!

Qingye was not surprised at all. Even if the extremely clichéd classic incident happened next, where a kitten ran up a tree and was afraid to come down, and she went to save the cat but fell down, she would not be shocked at all!

Then he saw a naughty cat running up the tree.

Then I didn’t dare come down.

Then Yukinoshita began to think of a solution.

"wait wait wait!"

Qingye's eye twitched and he rushed out from behind the chair, but he was still a step too late. The black-haired girl was sitting upright on the grass, motionless. Qingye just stood in front of her, and the two looked at each other silently.

"I, I didn't see anything."

Qingye pretended to be confused and turned around quickly.

Then the sleeve was grabbed.

"The correct thing for a man to do at this time is to help a girl, right? Mr. Kiyono?"

Two emotions flickered in Yukinoshita's navy blue eyes - shame and threat.

Translated, it means "I'll kill you if you dare tell anyone" and "Come and help me!"

Qingye instantly understood the girl's message and stopped joking with her. He smiled and squatted down in front of her. "Come up. I'll go back and help you with your wound."

After all, they are childhood sweethearts who grew up together. In one spring, summer, autumn and winter after another, they will encounter those daily and extraordinary events. This is just an event that can be seen everywhere on their growth path.

Yukinoshita silently moved her body on top of him.

Although she was taller than him, the body he touched was as fragile as glass, or as thin snow that would melt at any time. Her slenderness and fragility made him deeply realize that Yukinoshita was indeed a girl.

Moreover, the girl's unique sweet fragrance and soft touch also made him a little embarrassed. It was a bit embarrassing to say, this was the first time he had such close contact with Yukinoshita.

"Kiyano-kun, what are you thinking about?"

"Is this a lucky, soft accident? However, I feel like it's not something soft, but..."

"..."

"I'm so sorry, Yukinoshita-sama, please don't put your hands around my neck, I'm dying."

"If you don't change your bad temper, even bugs won't like you anymore, okay?"

Yukinoshita sighed helplessly.

Qingye carried her to the courtyard gate with difficulty. At this moment, a voice made both of them stiffen.

"Kiyono-kun, Yukino? What are you doing?"

The beautiful lady in kimono who happened to be going out looked confused.

*

Time and environment are constantly changing, and those things that we take for granted in our daily lives will eventually be broken.

The kimono beauty thought of the intimate scene she had just seen, her eyes flickered, and many thoughts surged in her mind... Yukino and Kiyono are now in junior high school.

Junior high school students are a complex age. Unlike high school students, who have already established their basic values, neither are they as innocent as elementary school students. As their bodies develop, they develop a strong curiosity about all things, including gender. They are also naive and reckless, entering puberty and believing they are the center of the world.

As for Kiyono and Yukino, the two of them once helped, understood, and grew up with each other, and grew up under the same roof. It was okay in elementary school, but in junior high school, this emotion may slowly accumulate until it turns into a throbbing love.

Because of her past experiences, Yukinoshita's mother is actually a very open-minded parent. She does not object to Yukino exploring love in junior high school, but the heir of the Yukinoshita family is Haruno after all. She prefers her eldest daughter to a talented and outstanding boy like Kiyono, whom she watched grow up - this is a kind of favoritism, and she does not want to see Haruno find an unsatisfactory partner in the future.

Of course, she would definitely not do such a thing as breaking up a couple. If Kiyono and Yukino have already decided to spend their lives together, then she can only accept it helplessly. But now their feelings are just vague at best, so if they are just asked to separate in a tactful way, there is no need to worry so much.

"Besides...Yukino's situation at school is still the same."

Yukinoshita's mother held her forehead slightly. She had originally planned to send Yukino abroad after elementary school to change the environment, but Kiyono's actions gave them a glimmer of hope. Unfortunately, nothing changed.

She was silent and thoughtful, recalling every moment she had spent with the two of them. Finally, she pursed her lips and made an international call.

*

"What? Sending Yukino to study abroad? She's just started junior high school, and we're forced to separate, sister, sister, I really don't want to leave you..."

In the Japanese-style room with the paper door half-open, Yukinoshita Haruno wiped her eyes pretentiously when she heard her mother's words.

Beside her, Qingye was slightly stunned, and could not help but start to recall the memories of another world line. Finally, he found that Yukinoshita had indeed gone abroad, but why? Was it because of bullying?

"But, Yukino will still feel lonely, right? If you really don't want to go... why not just forget it?"

The kimono beauty's usually graceful voice became much softer, and her expression showed a rare hesitation. At this moment, she was just like most mothers, worried about her children who were about to go on a long journey.

At this time, Yang Nai suddenly spoke.

"Yeah, that's right. Yukino-chan is just a girl who just started junior high school. How can she live alone in a foreign country? Right, mother?"

Yukinoshita Haruno has bright eyes and a charming look, like a stunning actress. Every syllable seems to be dancing happily, but when the notes are combined together, they seem extremely weird.

"In a few days, my aunt will accompany Yukino to England to live with her and take care of her daily life. This shouldn't be considered living alone, right, Haruno."

The kimono beauty's response was calm and unpretentious. Qingye looked at the mother and daughter who were looking at each other as usual, and felt that he had become a little seal in Antarctica. In front of him, two huge icebergs collided violently under the push of ocean currents, and ice spikes flew everywhere.

The boy lamented his humble status at home, not daring to look any longer, and quietly turned his gaze to the small iceberg on the side.

In the end, Yang Nai snorted and looked sideways at her sister.

This was a signal for a ceasefire. Yukinoshita's mother also turned her gaze to Yukino and asked softly:

"Yukino, what do you think?"

10①2二八з零㈨⑧

The focus of attention, Yukinoshita paused, then turned to look to the side—that was where Kiyono was. "Don't look at me! No one will listen to my opinions!"

Noticing the two people's little movements, Sister Yang No said "Hey" in an amused tone.

"I... let mother decide."

Yukinoshita pursed her lips and spoke softly.

*

Is Yukinoshita leaving...?

The night after that conversation, Qingye returned to his room without even turning on the lights. He just lay on the tatami mat that he had become accustomed to sleeping on without realizing it, looking at the familiar ceiling, a little dazed.

The Japanese-style garden of Yukinoshita's house looks quaint, but it is actually not suitable for modern young people to live in. When he gets older, he may want to live in an elegant courtyard, watching the fish swimming in the pond and the falling maple leaves to cultivate his body and mind. But before that, he was used to modern apartments and it took him some time to slowly adapt to life here and fall in love with it.

Just like getting along with Yukinoshita, it seems so beautiful at first glance, but after actually getting along with her, the fantasy about her in my heart will slowly become a habit, and finally, with the blessing of time, it will be entangled into a more complicated emotion.

She was once a part of everyday life, but before we knew it, she had become part of everyday life.

Only when you are about to part will you realize the true emotions in your heart.

On this lonely spring night, he counted the time they had spent together on his fingers.

Fifth grade, sixth grade, and first grade.

Then, will Yukinoshita spend two or three years in England?

They had only been together for less than three years.

Three years... Although nothing unforgettable or memorable happened, whenever I think back, those vivid images will emerge in my mind: going to school together, eating together, watching cats in the sunset together, and being dragged out by her to write an observation diary during summer vacation...

The so-called daily life is just like this, where little by little, we slowly accumulate to form rivers and mountains, right?

But even if you think that this kind of life will continue, the reality of time passing by will hit you unconsciously.

How will the relationship between the two of them develop after Yukinoshita goes to England?

Their contact would gradually become less, but she would use her mobile phone to tell him about her new life in a foreign country. They would talk on the phone at least once a week and occasionally have a video call.

Realistically speaking, he probably wouldn't run off to England, but if anyone dared to steal her shoes again, he would chase them to the ends of the earth and crush their dirty hands with his shoes.

Of course, if he really flew there, the girl would definitely take him around like a real sister and cook delicious meals for him personally.

Is this what it feels like to be separated from each other?

Qingye, who was not sleepy at all, put on his coat and walked onto the wooden porch.

The courtyard of Yukinoshita's house is far away from the center of the city. It feels like a night in the countryside. People on the road have already entered someone's house early. There is no noisy car sounds, no shining street lights, only a quiet night, and even time has slowed down.

The night wind blew the withering cherry blossoms through the corridor, and the leaves rustled. In the clear night sky, a bright white moon hung high, and the dense stars seemed to be right in front of the eyes, within reach.

Qingye subconsciously turned his head and saw a beautiful fairy.

This is a situation that is completely contrary to reality no matter how you look at it.

A woman with long black hair sat on the edge of the porch. She swayed gently on her bare feet and looked up at the moon and stars. Her snow-white skin shone in the soft moonlight, her long hair fluttering in the breeze, her blue skirt like a stranded sea.

Woods, pond, eaves, a girl, the bright moon, and a bluestone road covered with flower petals.

It's as beautiful as a carefully crafted painting, he thought.

"It's so beautiful."

He said with emotion, sat down next to the girl, and gently stretched out his hand. The moonlight flowed through his fingers like tilted mercury.

"Yukinoshita is like the moon."

This sentence can have many meanings, such as praise, longing, beauty, distance, and unattainable...

Yukinoshita tilted her head to look at him, her eyes appearing extremely bright and clear in the moonlight.
