"That guy is fine. Is there anything else you want to buy, go ahead." I said to Yuigahama.

"It doesn't matter...... Is it okay? Little sister Komachi has grown up too, so I don't have to worry about her anymore."

Yuigahama sighed in relief.This guy's old lady attribute has not changed at all.

"It's almost time to buy things, I should go."

"Eh? Wait a minute!"

Yuigahama grabbed me, turned around and left.

"It's really rare for people like Xiaoqi to turn around and leave after talking about themselves. But it's not good to let you slip away like this. I said it too, let's eat bread together."

With my arm caught, I had no hope of escaping, so I obediently followed Yuigahama to the checkout, and then walked to the tables set up in the shopping plaza.

Yuigahama still looked swollen.Her method of tearing the bread package was quite violent, and she couldn't find the right way to open it, so she tore it out of shape.While I was terrified watching from the side, the bread finally came out; Yuigahama grabbed a corner violently, tore off an uneven piece, and held it straight to my mouth.

"Give!"

Faced with this expression implying that if you don't eat, you will be killed, who wouldn't obediently take the bread and stuff it into your mouth.

Although the matter of feeding people was very delicate, Yuigahama didn't take it to heart.As if she finally escaped without guarding against me, she also tore off a piece of bread and ate it with her head down.

"Speaking of which, I used to sit side by side like this before and share the bread."

she whispered.

You should swallow your food before you speak.

"Oh, well, there was."

During cultural festivals and dance parties, we all ate like this and had rambling conversations.

"I, Xiaoqi,... and Xiaoxue, how have I grown in the two years since then?... What new things have I learned?... .”

Although Yuigahama's words seemed to be asking me, but the tone seemed to be asking himself.

"If you want to say what you know, you have to say that this world is really different from what we imagined."

"Yes, yes..."

Yuigahama gave a disappointed smile.

"Ah, but, I'm still very lucky to have a mother. Although there will be many unhappy things, and I don't want to tell my mother when I get home. But my mother always understands my mood somehow... It feels so good. Well..."

After a moment of silence, Yuigahama's expression became childlike again.

"I feel that even if life is not so beautiful, some people are always precious; and having someone like my mother makes me feel a lot easier."

After all, a person like Yuigahama whose emotions are written all over his face is much easier to understand.Ah, maybe I'm the same kind of person in Komachi's eyes...

"Actually, Komachi chatted with me on Line last night..."

"So today is premeditated? Is this going to break my heart? Although it's very emotional to play a chance encounter, it's still very sad when it's exposed, okay?"

"Ah, that's not the case at all! Last night, Komachi said she wouldn't come, but today was really a coincidence. Could it be Komachi..."

It must be Komachi's conspiracy!The truth has been revealed!

"In short, in short!"

Yuigahama turned her head and glared at me from the side.Her gaze made me look at her too.

"Xiao Qi, you have to tell me what's going on! If it weren't for Komachi, no one would understand it at all, right? How can we help you like this?"

Yuigahama's tone was slightly blaming.

"I know that small businesses like to solve problems on their own, and with the capabilities of small businesses, there are no problems. However, small businesses sometimes find the wrong way, don't they? Small businesses also have times when they can't figure it out, no ?"

"Ah, yes."

I smiled self-deprecatingly.

"That's just too many times."

"So, even if it's only occasionally, small businesses should rely on us more!"

Yuigahama's face was full of determination.I know that that determination will never change.That must be something I can hold onto, despite the sea washing over the bay.

"Hmm. Thanks."

So I will definitely grab it and never let it go.

And the troublesome guy has one more.

And I will definitely make a strong grip that can make her feel at ease.

Let the real thing that has been confirmed shine with the diamond light it should have.

(Yukinoshita Yukino's perspective)

Last weekend, instead of continuing to live in my apartment in Tokyo, I returned to my home in Chiba after a long absence.

After leaving him a note in the apartment, I went out and took the intercity train; after a while, the city scenery began to flash before my eyes.

I probably understand the problem between Hikigu and me.What he encountered is probably also what upset me.

None of us was satisfied with the answers we found; we were determined to keep doubting, to test, what was true.Only then can we get answers that live up to each other.

Therefore, I doubt it.

I wondered if our relationship, too, was bound to turn out to be as meaningless as I'd seen it to be.I doubt whether the efforts we have made will not work in this world that does not pursue the real thing.If so, should we continue.

Therefore, I always spend the time with him with a cherished mood.I don't look at him while cooking, but I always keep my ears open for his movements as he prepares the ingredients.Talking to me from time to time makes me feel at ease, and I am even more worried about the moment when the voice disappears.After dinner we sat opposite each other at the table and read in silence, while I just put on a show, and my eyes stayed on the pages far less than I did peeping.

Once again, I enjoy the false peace and worry about losing it all the time.

If I continue, I will worry about what I did wrong and destroy such a delicate balance.So I ran away.

Leaving the apartment that symbolizes the unique relationship between us, returning to Chiba again, and returning to the starting point of the search.

"Ah, Xiaoxue Nai? Why did you come back without saying hello? You startled me."

My sister was in pajamas, lying on the sofa.Her slender legs rested on the armrest, and her head rested on the other armrest.She held an empty glass with a red bottom in one hand, and the neck of the bottle with the other.There was an unnatural blush on the sister's face, as well as on her bare arms.

"Let's not say that this is where I live, can I be scared after drinking like this?"

I put down my bag, changed my shoes and walked over.

"Really, I just had a good drink. Xiaoxue Nai, what's the matter?" My sister showed a gloating smile, and leaned towards me, "Is there a conflict with Mr. Xiaoqi?"

"You don't need to worry about our affairs, I told you already."

"Ah, ah, I really don't know good people."

She lay back with little interest, poured red wine into her wine glass, looked at the glass and said, "That's because you really didn't have to worry about it at that time? It doesn't look like this now."

"I'm only here for two days, so I don't need to trouble you."

After speaking, I went to my room.

My sister's voice sounded from behind.

"Well, of course someone will worry about it~ I don't want to make trouble like this."

On Saturday afternoon, I was sitting in my room reading a book when my phone vibrated suddenly.

"Little Snow!"

It's a text message from Bibin.

"How are you doing recently? Have you been back to Chiba? I want to hang out with you!"

Did my sister tell her about my return to Chiba...

As long as Yuhihama, no matter how long we have been apart, we will be able to meet again like friends who play together every day.

"Well, I'm at home now. Where are I going?"

This is probably the fastest time for me to reply to Yubi Bin's message.

In the evening, I waited for Yuigahama at the entrance of a restaurant.

"Xiao Yukino! Oh, hello! I'm sorry, I was delayed while waiting for the bus..."

After she ran over, she said out of breath.

"It's okay. Long time no see."

After her breathing calmed down a bit, I said.

"Well! Let's go eat."

During the meal, we chatted about our college affairs one after another.Although Yuigahama's university is not in Chiba, it is closer to Chiba than mine and Hikigaya's university, so she lives at home every day.

"Besides, Dad's work is too busy, and Mom always has to take care of the house by herself. I don't feel relieved if I don't go back to accompany her."

Yuigahama seemed a little proud.

I closed my eyes and said, "Really, I think Yuigahama's mother is more worried about you."

"Ha, it's here! Poison-tongued Yukino!"

Yuigahama yelled out regardless of the customers in the restaurant.Several pairs of eyes shot here.

"Well, yes."

I ignored them and continued, "I'll tell you more about you in the future, lest you forget."

"Hey... Xiao Yukino like this is not cute at all..."

After dinner, we took a walk on the avenue that stretches along the coast.The street lights were dim, the lights of the city were blurred in the distance, and there was some moonlight shining on the sea.

None of us mentioned Birch Valley.

However, Yubihama told me in her own gentle way that some people will always be with us, and these people are not allowed to give up.

We were just talking, nothing important, but I felt that no matter what happened, I could come back and be with her easily like this, such a sense of security.

At the end of the rest day, I took the train back to my apartment in Tokyo.

When I came back from school on Monday afternoon, I opened the door and met the guy who was walking in the living room.

For a moment, we all stood still.

"You're back early."

I spoke first.

"Ah, um. Went home for the weekend."

"Note..."

"Yes, got it."

"Got it. Let's cook."

"Ah."

We bypassed the topic again and hurried to do things in order to calm down.

But in fact, the heart could not be more peaceful.What is needed now may be some momentum to break this situation.

However, this situation continued.

The next day, we were like this.Even though I know what to do, I can't make up my mind.This anxiety made me faintly afraid.

On the third day, it was still the same.

Day four, still the same.If it goes on like this, I am sure that it will gradually drift away.But this is... totally wrong.

After finishing writing, I put on the cap of my pen and stood up.

At this time, there was an impatient sound of keys coming from the apartment door.Then, the door was "slammed" open.

He stood there, panting.

I wanted to say something and opened my mouth, but my thoughts couldn't be turned into words, I just couldn't make a sound stupidly.

But I was preempted by him.

"Under the snow, tell me all the troubles in your life."

His voice trembled, whether it was from nervousness or because his breathing hadn't calmed down yet.
