Kawakami Mizuki

Yi Linchuan, who realized that he had woken up from a dream, did not open his eyes, but continued to lie quietly on the bed for a while.

After getting dressed, when I went downstairs, I realized that I forgot to eat breakfast again.I found a restaurant and ordered a bowl of porridge. While waiting for the porridge, I glanced at the clock in the restaurant and sighed secretly: Is it already eleven o'clock? Yesterday I was so absorbed in typing that I forgot the time.

After drinking the porridge, Yi Linchuan walked according to his original memory, but he was still lost. Looking at the strange environment around him, Yi Linchuan thought silently in his heart, it must be that the street has changed too much and not because he doesn’t remember how to get back Already... huh?

He took a taxi directly and reported the address of Qingyuan Middle School.

Sensing the surprised look in the driver's eyes, Yi Linchuan couldn't help touching his long hair.I've been really lazy these years, even taking a few extra steps to get a haircut.But Yi Linchuan was lucky, the restaurants, retail stores and markets downstairs were all available, so he wouldn't starve to death.

I had a dream last night.

The boy in the dream looked at him tenderly, the deep blue of the sky reflected in his eyes, and said, "Let's come back together." Since when did the promise that was once dismissed take root in his heart? Always thinking about it inadvertently.But in fact, he knew very well that after so many years, Ye Ming might have forgotten the original agreement, and it would be useless to go.But it was because Ye Ming didn't go back that he had the courage to go back, didn't he?

Eight years ago, Ye Ming went abroad.But their relationship didn't fade away, but became more serious day by day. In the end, the two broke up, and the time they had been together was only a few years, but it was forced to make them think about it for so many years in the future.

"arrive."

He got out of the car in a daze, looked around and confirmed that the driver did not drive in the wrong place, and was surprised to find that the drink shop opposite the school was still there.So Yi Linchuan walked into the store, chose a place by the glass, and ordered a glass of lemonade.

It was exactly one o'clock in the noon when he arrived, and he was the only customer in the store, so it was extraordinarily quiet.

The school and the beverage store are separated by a road that is neither wide nor narrow, and trees are planted evenly on both sides of the road.These trees are quite old, and the lush green branches and leaves stretch out, and the overheated sunlight shines down.Through the layers of leaves, the mottled light is scattered on the blue-white bricks and tiles.

He just propped his chin like this, quietly looking out of the window, at the top of the tallest building in the school, the huge clock dial.The pointer above seemed to never move, but after a long time of comparison, it was discovered that the minute hand had turned a full circle.The store turned from quiet to noisy, and then gradually became quiet.There are still immature and innocent junior high school students on the face, playing and entering the school gate.

And he was just in a daze, not even thinking about anything.

Don't think about it.

After five o'clock, the school gate gradually became lively again. The students who left the school gate to go home and the people who entered the school gate to visit the teachers came and went. over there.The hot weather made people turn their attention to beverage stores.As a result, even the drink shop became crowded and noisy.

"Boss, I want twenty cups of sago milk tea and twenty cups of green tea pudding."

Hearing this soft female voice, Yi Linchuan lowered his head, his long hair covering his face.Although I can't remember who it is, it feels like it should be from the previous class, and he doesn't want to be recognized.

A mobile phone came into view.He looked up and found that there were a few little girls huddled together, looking very embarrassed, and held out their mobile phones in front of him.He took the phone and looked down, and found that it was the interface of a notepad, and some words were typed on it, "The person next to me asked you, are you a man or a woman?"

He raised his head and glanced at the shy girls huddled together, looking at him with novelty and anticipation in his eyes, his face was slightly flushed, and his brows and eyes were full of beauty and jerky that didn't need whitewashing.

Yi Linchuan smiled slightly, checked the time on the phone by the way, and handed it back to them.Immediately, several sighs of disappointment were heard stacked together.

It's already 06:30.

A large group of people from the previous class had already gathered at the school gate, and they glanced around, but he was not there.

A little lost, but also a little relieved.Yi Linchuan smiled wryly, which was expected.Hearing some scattered words from a familiar yet unfamiliar loud voice, "Why are you still here?" There are still many people in Ye Ming who have not arrived.

Watching the people in the class walk into the school gate, Yi Linchuan thought, it's time to leave.

After leaving the cold drink shop, he was about to leave, but his eyes were fixed by a figure.

He still came.

Yi Linchuan stood there in a daze, staring at him fixedly, wanting to get closer and take a good look at him, but at the same time he was nervous because of Ye Ming's behavior of looking at the surrounding environment casually.

——If Ye Ming sees him...

Yi Linchuan subconsciously took a step back.

It's better not to see.

At this time, a man in uniform came out of the security room. Ye Ming negotiated with the man for a while, with a somewhat helpless look on his face.Yi Linchuan understood almost instantly: he was suspected of identity for not following the class team, and the security guards would not let him in.

Yi Linchuan started to make a phone call while crossing the road, but fortunately he got through quickly, "Hello? Teacher Zhang? I'm Yi Linchuan. I came late with Ye Ming and was stopped at the door by security. Can you help me Go in with him?" Teacher Zhang's phone number, or he was bored browsing the campus network one day, and saw it on the faculty and staff information, and now he can't help silently sighing lucky.

When he hung up the phone, he happened to walk under the tree at the school gate.Seeing that Ye Ming was about to leave helplessly, he stopped Ye Ming before he had time to think, "Wait a minute."

The moment he finished speaking, his heart was caught.Ye Ming...how would he treat him?

"May I ask who you are?" Ye Ming was about to leave when he found someone standing in front of him.The long hair is particularly eye-catching.Thinking of the manga exhibition that Qingqing mentioned, he guessed that this person might have just returned from the manga exhibition.What is also eye-catching is the obvious light blue circle around the fundus of the eyes. It is obvious that he did not sleep well last night. Coupled with the pale complexion, Ye Ming silently labeled this person as a dead house in his heart, and he was still very polite on the surface. to answer.

He didn't recognize him.

Feeling stable in his heart for a moment, Yi Linchuan said as naturally as possible: "You are Ye Ming from Class Ten, right? I am also Teacher Zhang's student. I just called the teacher and I think I will be able to get in soon. "

"Really? Thank you so much." Ye Ming responded casually, and then looked at the person in front of him.He was wearing a light blue long-sleeved shirt and plain black slacks.The soft hair was spread out, the bangs were long and long, and blended into the hair behind his shoulders. An overly pale face was half hidden in the hair. His face...

"Hello? Teacher Zhang? These two young men are your students? Yes, yes." There was a rustling sound, and the two turned their heads to look at the guard at the same time.After the doorman answered the phone, he relaxed his serious expression and waved his hand. "Go in."

"I still have to wait for someone, you go in first." Yi Linchuan said to him.

"Okay." It's not good to interfere in other people's private affairs, Ye Ming responded and walked into the school gate.After walking a few steps, I turned around, only to see a figure gradually going away.

His face... seems familiar?

Ye Ming frowned slightly, what on earth is this person going to do?

After wandering around the campus casually, the sky has begun to darken.Unexpectedly, I happened to meet Teacher Zhang. At this time, the crowd had almost dispersed, and Teacher Zhang walked happily to the school gate alone, with the ponytail on the back of his head flicking.

Ye Ming couldn't help laughing, it turned out that after so many years, there are really some people who can not change.

"Teacher Zhang."

When she heard someone calling her, the teacher was obviously taken aback, looked at Ye Ming with a bit of confusion, and asked uncertainly: "...Ye...Ye Ming?"

Ye Ming responded with a smile: "It's me."

Teacher Zhang became excited all of a sudden, and trotted over excitedly, "Ye Mingming, I almost don't recognize you!" Then he began to talk endlessly about how happy his classmates were to see her, with an excited expression on his face There is still a naivety of the student days.

Ye Ming smiled and remained silent.

This innocent and bright teacher in memory, although the years still left traces on her face, and her demeanor is more capable, she still has the temperament that a candy can make you laugh back then.

Ye Ming patiently listened to her chatter, but didn't want her to change the subject and start to scold him, "I received a call before saying that you were coming, but I didn't see you after waiting. Where did you go? Why did you say that?" You alone? Where is Linchuan?"

Why did everyone ask Yi Linchuan when they saw him?

Ye Ming smiled wryly, "... Linchuan hasn't been in touch with me for a long time."

"How is it possible?" Teacher Zhang's expression of astonishment made Ye Ming think, it seems that everyone thought that he and Linchuan would always be on good terms.No wonder others think so, after all, he thought so too back then.

But the moment the outspoken teacher Zhang's voice fell, he was completely stunned.

"Linchuan called me just now, saying that you were stopped by the guard?"

Suddenly, the receding figure appeared in front of his eyes.

"teacher……"

Yi Linchuan took a taxi back home, relaxed, and felt hungry.However, Yi Linchuan was lazy and didn't want to go out to eat or cook.Be hungry when you're hungry, he thought desperately.

After taking a bath, he lay directly on the bed, and didn't bother to dry his hair, and the wet hair smeared with water stains on the pillow.

He closed his eyes and quietly recalled the cold words, "May I ask who you are?"

Polite inquiry and too alienated look.

Ye Ming didn't recognize him... Maybe Ye Ming had completely forgotten about him?Calculating the age, Ye Ming is about 26 years old this year, so he should already have someone he likes, right?

Unexpectedly, Ye Ming would look like this many years later.It was no longer the boy who nagged and cared about him and looked like a mother-in-law, but a stranger who was polite and distant, distanced himself from others with a few words.Or is he gentle and caring for the person he likes?When he thought that he might care about a certain pure or enchanting woman meticulously, his heart suddenly ached.

It's just... when he decided to let go, he was already in no position to regret it.

Yi Linchuan: If I remember correctly, there are no public toilets near the school.
