Compared to her usual dignified and elegant image, the student council president now looks a bit like an ordinary girl, holding the teacher's hand, talking and laughing about something, and her expression is also very happy.

But why is that person... beside Teacher Haibara at this moment?

Shiori Takanashi couldn't take her eyes off there for a moment, and in her heart she kept wondering why Teacher Haibara was with the student council president.

By the way, the student council president used to be a student of Mr. Haibara.

The student council president also really likes the look of Teacher Haibara.

It could also be that the student union president also came to attend the celebration and happened to meet the teacher, and then they got together.

But her female intuition told her that it was strange to see the student council president and Ms. Haibara together here.

After a while, she saw this scene.

The student council president slightly tiptoed, put his arm around Haibara's shoulders, and naturally moved his face close to the woman. Although the two of them had their backs to her and their specific appearance was obscured by their long hair, Shiori Kotori was still very clear about what was happening.

The student council president kissed Ms. Haibara.

After seeing this scene, Shiori Kotori was stunned...

“…………Huh?”

What………

What happened just now?

After accidentally witnessing such a scene, Xiao Niaoyou's mind was in a mess and she didn't even know what emotion to express for the moment.

She unconsciously clenched the candy apple in her hand, while her other hand, which had nowhere to go, clenched tightly.

Is this the normal relationship between students and teachers?

What is their relationship?

As for Haibara, even after being kissed, she didn't react at all, just acted like she was used to it.

This made Xiao Niaoyou feel even more nervous.

Noticing that Kotori was slow to answer her question and seemed to be in a daze, the girl waved her hand in front of her curiously to bring her attention back to reality.

But it doesn't seem to work.

She didn't seem to care much and continued to talk about herself:

"It seems to be two years ago, when I was a freshman in high school, I also participated in this celebration like you."

"At that time, I was taught by a very young teacher."

"That teacher is Ms. Haibara. Do you know her?"

………Teacher Haihara?

The girl's voice came to her ears, and because Teacher Haibara was suddenly mentioned, Kotori came back to her senses.

But as soon as she turned around, several people passed by her and stood between her and the girl.

She was about to say something, but after the crowd passed, the other side became empty. She didn't know when no one stopped there.

That girl just now, two years ago... together with Mr. Huiyuan...

How come he suddenly disappeared?

This noisy celebration left Shiori Takanashi alone, drowned in the crowd. Her heart was empty, filled with the girl's words just now and the scene between the student council president and Teacher Haibara that she inadvertently witnessed.

Chapter 81 You and Me

That was many years ago, probably when I was still in college.

At that time, Huihara liked a senior who she worked with during her internship.

The senior had very long hair, and I could smell the fragrance of her shampoo when I was close to her. When I walked behind her, I could always see her beautiful black hair floating in the air, and the fragrance that emanated from her hair as it swayed, which was very touching.

Although he is sometimes very strict and makes people feel majestic, he is very gentle when he is resting, as cool and reassuring as the wind.

Probably because he and the other person were alumni, the senior often took care of him.

Although she likes it very much, Huiyuan feels that it is time to end it.

A few days ago, she packed up all her things and left the place where she had worked for several months. Although the senior student looked surprised, she still saw her off gently as usual.

Before leaving, the senior asked her if she would treat her to dinner again.

Huiyuan also refused.

There was one thing that concerned her. If she thought about it carefully, she had been in the company for such a long time, but she didn't have anyone she could be considered familiar with.

It's not just that.

She had been alone since she started high school.

No relatives and no friends.

When Huibara was sitting alone in the corner of her small rental house, holding a box containing all her work stuff, Huibara seemed to suddenly react.

It turns out she is lonely.

It turned out that she felt lonely and painful.

"…………"

Huibara blankly stroked the old photos of herself and her family.

Why is this so.

Even though she has worked hard to live alone until now, no one cares about her, and she has not met someone who is willing to love her as she wished when she was a child.

It's no one's fault.

It’s just that Huiyuan feels that she looks a little ugly now.

Ordinary and inconspicuous, you can be drowned in the crowd at any time, silently. Even if you disappear somewhere one day, no one will notice.

She was clearly breathing and making sounds, but in this world, she seemed silent.

It is no longer like before, when there were still people around me who cared about me.

"Tomorrow... I'll look for a new part-time job."

She whispered to the photo.

After the internship, she plans to go back and finish her studies.

As for the future... let’s talk about it later.

Besides, I haven’t decided what to eat in the evening.

But no one cooked for her, and it was too late to do it now.

Later, when Huibara rented the house again, she felt a little cold.

It's already autumn before we know it.

If you were in your hometown, the Maple Festival would be coming soon.

There was no way she could go back this year.

Besides, what would happen even if I went back?

...............

When you are sick, you will feel very bad.

After experiencing a serious illness all by herself, Huibara felt despair for the first time in a long time.

Huibara rarely cries.

Most of the time, she was cold and inert, like a snake.

She seldom cries for others. When watching movies that others find very touching, she would just think: Ah, so that's how it is.

She would probably only cry because she was in pain or because of her own affairs.

So, for many years after she grew up, she also cried.

At that time, Huiyuan thought that maybe it would be nice to die like this.

She lay on the bed, covering her face with the quilt, and cried for a long time. She wanted to cover her eyes so that everything would disappear, but the feeling of being alive was still so clear.

She also remembered that when her family was still alive, her mother would be very worried and would run around her and help her run around.

But those are gone now.

Even after I recovered from the illness, the shadow still remained.

Why in this world, there exists a person who lives in pain without anyone noticing him?

What will happen to her in the future.

If she keeps going, where will she go?

“…What should I do?”

At that time, Huibara's mind was filled with these words.

When she came to her senses again, Huibara found herself walking on the street. The sun was gradually fading away, and the dusk before night came. Crowds of people were rushing towards their homes, and she was the only one left, alone, not knowing where to go.

The chill of autumn quietly penetrates into the bone marrow, making everyone's pace quicken. The dead autumn leaves fall to the ground one after another, and it seems that one can see through their fate of rotting.

Just an ordinary day of the year.

Huibara rarely stopped for a moment to look at the expressions of others.

There are expressions of tiredness after work, expressions of affection with lovers, expressions that are slightly dull and lifeless, and expressions that seem carefree.

I've had the same expression before.

I may have the same expression in the future.

I may never be able to have that kind of expression.

There are really many different looks.

Numerous and complex breathing sounds and footsteps.

It was as huge as a tide, making it hard to breathe. It seemed that no matter who passed by, they would be submerged in it and become an insignificant part of it.

Even if someone disappears from there silently, it probably won't be noticed.

Huibara was walking on a street that was familiar to her but she had never stopped to pay attention to it, staring blankly at everything she saw. Would any of those numerous breaths and gazes intersect with hers?

Would any eyes notice her inadvertently?

Walking and stopping, Huibara walked along the familiar road, from the sidewalk to the crossroads, then passing the open space and the riverside, she walked to the bridge over the river.

The setting sun fell beside the white bridge, which looked beautiful.

The world has always been like this.

When a person is sad, it won't rain.

Huihara had never stopped on the bridge to look at the river before, but today she had some free time.

For some reason, she felt a little thirsty.

My mind went blank and I couldn't remember anything.

I couldn't hear any sound in my ears, as if I was isolated from the world.

Maybe... this world has nothing to do with her.

It wasn't that she hated this place, or that she had no expectations for it, it was just that there seemed to be no voice calling out to it, just like there would be no echo even if one shouted into an empty tunnel.

Thinking of this, she had unknowingly laid down beside the bridge pole, lowered her eyes slightly, and stared blankly at the river under the bridge.

What will be there?

There will definitely be no one I will meet in the future.

But there might be people who have already left in the past.

It started as just a thought.

But the feeling of dizziness and emptiness overwhelmed her little by little, causing her to move forward a little.
