back

Risako left.

Shinobu stood there holding the box for a long time until Risako didn't look back.

In the end, she still smiled and said cheers to herself, but when she turned around, she covered her face and ran in small steps.

In the end, I discovered that my sister's eyes had so many fine lines, no matter when she was crying or laughing.I can't remember if I was so unhappy in the past, and I can't remember if she was so domineering at the beginning. My sister's last support is extremely precious to me.

A little dazed, because this is such an ordinary but not peaceful morning - because today's sudden departure is a bit reckless, although I have been planning this thing all the time.The purpose of coming back at that time was indeed to find out the truth that prompted Yong to leave. If he didn't find out the reason that really troubled him, he would never be with himself again.The final goal was found, and it was time to move on to the next step, but when all this came before him, he was suddenly caught off guard.

He took out his phone and quickly wrote down a few words with his fingers.

"Sorry for so many years. Thank you, sister, to live happily."

She would know, though she didn't write more.It is an emotion called family affection, which is connected with each other, and she will feel the feeling in her heart when she writes every word.

The text message was sent, and the finger continued to slide down, finally stopping on a name.Shinobu took a deep breath, then pressed down firmly.

"Hey, it's me."

Also, this matter must be done at this moment.

"!!..."

There was no sound on the phone, but the sound of breathing over there was clearly gone.

"Sorry for being so sudden, I just want to say, thank you." With a smile, he turned and looked at the flight display board behind him.

"...Takatsuki..."

"Thank you for always being by my side when I was at my lowest point."

"......Sorry, I......"

"Thank you for falling in love with me like this." Shinobu smiled slightly as if he had removed the big stone that had been pressing on his heart these days.

"..."

"For me, Inoue-kun is a gentle person—gentle, careful, and sincere. No matter who is the person who will enter your life in the future, Inoue will definitely be able to become the person who makes that person happy .”

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and suddenly there was a louder sob, Shinobu pursed his lips, and there was a burst of warmth in his eyes that couldn't be restrained.

"Also, I want to tell you one thing: I'm leaving home today!" Looking at the constantly updated flight information, Shinobu took another deep breath.

"Thanks to Inoue's help and the care of many people, I have found what I was looking for. Thank you, really, thank you very much!"

"...Really, that's great..." He finally spoke, but Inoue was still crying.Then he adjusted his emotions, and finally recovered his usual voice, even with some joy, "Takatsuki, no matter what, work hard! This time, we must hold on to that guy, and never let him escape again!"

"Well! I will definitely! You too, come on." Shinobu nodded.

"Goodbye, Inoue!"

"See you."

The phone hung up, and Inoue Ryuki's name stayed on the screen.

Just like before, when I had an ordinary phone call with him, there was no need to say more polite words, because I would still call again tomorrow.It's just that we know each other this time, maybe there won't be a next time.

But he will still keep this name and this number, because he used to stay in his life so hard.

"Next." Where is his destination, the direction he left for himself?

"Are you going to find my 'lost phone'?" Shinobu let out a breath, looking up at the flight display board with confidence.

There is no clear purpose, so there is no rush.

Even if a person is a bit lonely, Yong tries hard to convince himself to enjoy the trip.But I never figured out where the end point is, so I just walked all the way and lived all the life I hadn't experienced before—the box in my hand should be my whole world when I pull it up.

The sky without clouds is the same as myself, letting go of everything to listen to the ribbon-like tide landing every time.Stretch out your arms in the golden sky, feel that your arms are infinitely extended, and you can even catch the sinking sunset.Yong somewhat hated his love for the sea, but facing such a sea, who can refuse?A little girl next to her squatted on the ground holding three colorful balloons, digging something with a small shovel on the wet and soft sand receded by the sea, suddenly glanced at Yong, and ran away with a shy smile.

You won't always be so lonely, because there are always such pure and clear eyes.Yong Ye smiled in the direction of the little girl and continued to smoke his own cigarette.

A taxi stopped on the road next to the coast, and Shinobu took out his suitcase from the trunk.

It should be here.The car drove away, and a red dot on the phone screen was only a few millimeters away from my own green dot.Throwing the box on the side of the road, Shinobi jumped onto the roadbed and carefully inspected the few people on the beach back and forth.

His heart was beating fast, it couldn't be faster, his fingertips were wet and cold - this was a gamble he could never lose and couldn't afford to lose!

Suddenly, the rhythm of breathing was completely taken away, his lips no longer obeyed his control and trembled uncontrollably, and the corners of his eyes were sore and bubbling with extremely hot liquid.

Just tens of meters away from him, a white dot sat alone on the sand.The sea breeze blows over the broad shoulders, the straight back, and the familiar figure that I can recognize at a glance is wrapped tightly by the twilight.

Exhaling the last wisp of smoke, Yong extinguished it on the sofa, and took out the vibrating mobile phone from his pocket rather strangely.

【Takatsuki Ninja calls in】

His heartbeat suddenly became chaotic, his fingers trembled slightly, and Yong counted silently in his heart.

The figure from behind didn't answer the phone, but just lowered his head.Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Shinobu pulled up the box and slowly walked towards him.

Finally the call expired, the screen went dark, Yong breathed a sigh of relief, but the screen suddenly turned on again.

【Takatsuki Ninja calls in】

The call expired and dimmed again.

【Takatsuki Ninja calls in】

The call expired again, and then came back on.

【Takatsuki Ninja calls in】

don't call anymore...

【Takatsuki Ninja calls in】

Stop hitting! !

【Takatsuki Ninja calls in】

"Hello..." Yong felt a little regretful, but he accidentally tapped the answer button with his finger.

"How is it going..."

found it......

"Ah."

The last 20 meters.

"...what are you doing?"

"Just sit."

15 m.

"That's it."

ten meters.

"What about you? What are you doing?"

"Mom..." The little girl who had been digging the mud just now suddenly called out, and Yong heard the same call coming from Shinobu's phone.

"Mom, Xiaohui is here——"

The same shout came out again.

The mobile phone fell on the sand, and Yong stayed there in a daze, his body became so stiff that he couldn't move.

Three colorful balloons fluttered on his right side, and he turned his face slowly following the cheerful steps of the little girl.

The little blue skirt bounced up and down, and the balloon in his hand blocked the face of a boy in a white T-shirt; but it could be seen that his hand holding the phone slowly slipped from his ear.

"Of course, I'm looking for you."
