The girl under the cherry blossoms, her smile is like a flower

In the afternoon math class.

The math teacher is a woman wearing glasses. She looks very easy-going, but from the fact that the black-rimmed glasses reflect light from time to time, it can be seen that this teacher is not that easy to deal with.

And the same is true.

Many students were obeyed by this math teacher. Therefore, under normal circumstances, Kuriyama would not take out his mobile phone in this class.

But it is obvious that we are in the second situation now.

The phone screen suddenly lit up, and Kuriyama was overjoyed, but he still looked at the math teacher on the podium cautiously, and found that her attention was not on his side, so Kuriyama unlocked the phone.

[Yukiho-san: Huh? It turns out that Kuriyama-san is going to get a haircut after school? 】

After considering the words for a moment, Kuriyama tapped his finger quickly on the screen.

[Kuriyama: Yes. I have covered my eyes and want to have a cooler hairstyle. 】

[Kuriyama: Although I will feel a lot colder after getting a haircut, there is nothing I can do about it, otherwise my father would really tie me to the barber shop! 】

【Kuriyama: Helpless.jpg】

In just one, no, half an afternoon, Kuriyama chatted back and forth with Yukiho, who used to feel unattainable, and even made some small jokes with each other.

However, Kuriyama felt that the main reason was because this was on the Internet. If they really met, there were many things that he would definitely not be able to say.

[Yukiho-san: Laughing loudly.jpg]

[Yukiho-san: Kuriyama-san’s hair is indeed a little long, so what kind of haircut are you going to get, Kuriyama-san? 】

Kuriyama thought for a while and was about to reply, but Yukiho sent a few more pictures.

[Yukiho-san: I think Kuriyama-san is very suitable for these hairstyles. She will look very handsome after the haircut! (*^▽^*)】

Kuriyama enlarged the picture and looked at it. He had to say that it really matched his aesthetic. However, Kuriyama was a little worried. With his appearance, even if he had the same haircut as in the picture, it would not have such an effect.

[Kuriyama: I think these are good too. I’ll try them this afternoon. I hope Teacher Tony won’t disappoint me. 】

[Yukiho: I know there is a barber shop. Teacher Tony there is very skilled. 】

[Kuriyama: Please tell me, Yukiho-san, that I really need it now. 】

[Kuriyama: eager.jpg]

Yukiho didn't let Kuriyama wait too long, and the math teacher happened to be looking this way at that time. Kuriyama could only stand still for now. By the time the math teacher's attention shifted, five or six minutes had passed.

Kuriyama impatiently unlocked the screen, only to find that Yukiho had already sent a long list of messages.

[Yukiho-san: I’m a frequent visitor to that place. Why don’t I go with Kuriyama-san after class? I just want to trim my bangs. 】

[Yukiho-san: What do you think, Kuriyama-san? convenient? 】

[Yukiho-san: Kuriyama-san? 】

[Xue Sui classmate: Doubt.jpg]

[Yukiho-san: Sure enough, Kuriyama-san doesn’t want to go with me? 】

[Xue Sui classmate: crying.jpg]

[Yukiho-san: Does Kuriyama-san have a lover? I'm sorry, Kuriyama-san, I was rude, and I was just being a friend...]

【Xue Sui:......】

【Xue Sui:......】

Kuriyama could hardly suppress the rising corners of his mouth. An inexplicable emotion enveloped Kuriyama's heart, making him feel warm.

But the warm feeling is definitely not because the heater is turned on in the classroom.

The feeling of being cared about and valued is what warms you up.

Not to mention, this was said by the girl I like.

For a moment, Kuriyama wanted to take off his winter uniform, it was too warm.

[Kuriyama: Sorry, Yukiho. The teacher was with me just now and I didn’t have time to reply to the message. I’m really sorry. 】

【Kuriyama: Tsuchiaza.jpg】

[Kuriyama: Falling in love is not something I’m interested in for the time being, and I don’t have a lover either. 】

[Kuriyama: I am very willing to go with Yukiho-san. Or rather, I also want to see Tony-sensei’s skills that Yukiho-san mentioned. 】

Kuriyama put down his cell phone and took a long breath, so he could explain it clearly.

In fact, the last thing he wanted to say was, "I'd rather say, I'm honored to be with Yukiho-san," but after thinking about it, he still didn't say that.

[Yukiho: It’s me who should apologize. I disturbed Kuriyama-san’s lunch at noon and Kuriyama’s class in the afternoon. It’s really inappropriate. 】

[Yukiho-san: I’m really sorry, Kuriyama-san. 】

[Yukiho-san: I’m sorry.jpg]

Kuriyama could feel Yukiho's guilt overflowing from the screen. He smiled knowingly, feeling a little proud in his heart.

Look!

This is the girl I like, how sensible and kind.

[Kuriyama: Yukiho-san, there is no need to feel guilty. 】

[Kuriyama: Let’s talk about that barber shop. I’m looking forward to the barber shop recommended by Yukiho-san. 】

[Yukiho-san: I believe you will not disappoint Kuriyama-san. 】

[Classmate Xuesui: Promise.jpg]

[Kuriyama: Okay, let’s go together after class. 】

[Yukiho-san: OK~ It’s agreed, I won’t disturb Kuriyama-san’s class. See you after school. 】

[Kuriyama: See you after school. 】

Kuriyama put down his cell phone with great satisfaction and looked at the clock in the upper left corner of the blackboard. Most of the math class had passed. Fortunately, he was not caught by the math teacher.

Thank you Lord Inari!

As if feeling Kuriyama's respect, the statue of Inari God in the shrine in the corner of the classroom seemed to have brightened its bright eyes.

Time flies so fast...

He touched the bangs that covered his eyes. It was the first time he wanted to cut them off. He was dark and depressed and was not worthy of Yukiho. He didn't want to walk with his head down anymore.

He wants to stand under the sky and bathe in the sunshine.

Kuriyama's consciousness flew out of the window and went out first instead of his body.

Really looking forward to it...

After class...

Kuriyama murmured softly.

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

"My best friend! Let's go! What are you still writing on?"

Miura came to Kuriyama with his schoolbag and patted Kuriyama on the shoulder carelessly.

As members of the Homecoming Club, even though Miura and Kuriyama take different trains, they can still walk together from school to the station, which is also part of their daily life.

"You go ahead today, Miura, I have something to do."

Kuriyama didn't say it clearly.

"Something happened? What happened?"

Miura remembered that it seemed that it was not his turn for his best friend to be on duty today, but besides being on duty, what other reasons could keep his best friend in school.

"Oh~ I know!"

Miura's mind was running wildly, and based on what he saw and heard today, he came up with a very reasonable answer.

"Huh? You know?!"

Kuriyama was a little surprised. Did he really underestimate this seemingly tall and thick friend?

"Hmph~" Miura felt as if he was possessed by a dragon for a moment. He stretched out his fingers and made a pose, a bright light of wisdom flashed in his eyes, "I must have been giggling in the math class in the afternoon and was caught by the math teacher. The math teacher wanted to You go to her office after school, right?"

"..."

Sure enough, he was overthinking, this was the Miura that Kuriyama was familiar with.

"Hmph~ I guessed it right," Miura crossed his arms, as if he had everything under control, "But don't worry, my dear friend, I will be waiting for you in the classroom, huh~ It's really There is nothing we can do, but who makes us close friends?"

"I'm going to the barber shop with Yukiho-san."

Kuriyama said expressionlessly, he realized that talking to idiots would only waste time, so it was better to just tell the truth.

"what?"

Miura didn't seem to hear clearly. He crossed his arms and his rough face was full of disbelief.

"I'm going to the barber shop with Yukiho-san."

Kuriyama repeated it again.

"..."

This time Miura heard it clearly.

"Okay you boy!"

Miura strangled Kuriyama's neck directly, his tone full of uncontrollable excitement.

"I usually don't say anything, but I have such a good relationship with classmate Yukisui and even go shopping together. Isn't this just a date? You kid, that's okay!"

Miura is happy for Kuriyama from the bottom of his heart. He knows that his best friend likes Yukiho. Now that his best friend is about to achieve his wish, how can Miura not be happy.

"Just going to the barber shop together, how can it be considered a date..."

"It's coming, it's coming! It's not too late. I agreed, if I get together with Yukiho-san, I'll be invited to dinner."

"Let's talk again..."

Kuriyama couldn't speak loudly, so he could only speak implicitly.

"Okay, then I'll take the first step. Come on, dear friend, I'm optimistic about you! May Lord Inari bless you!"

"Okay, so are you."

Watching Miura leave, Kuriyama happened to receive a message from Yukiho.

[Yukiho-san: I’ve finished my duty, Kuriyama-san, let’s go! (????)]

Kuriyama replied OK, picked up his schoolbag, walked to the statue of Lord Inari in the corner of the classroom, and bowed.

May Inari God bless my journey smoothly.

That’s right, the journey.

Kuriyama is a homebody. Before this, what he could not understand the most was traveling. Now, Kuriyama calls this outing a journey.

After all, it’s a bit incredible that Kuriyama took the initiative to cut off his hair that obscured other people’s eyes and kept him warm, and he still stayed with the girl he liked.

Obstructed and long.

So Kuriyama went to seek blessings from the gods.

After Kuriyama left, the eyes of the Inari God statue in the shrine seemed to have brightened again, and seemed to have remained the same.

But regardless of whether or not, no one saw this scene. Even if they did, they would probably regard it as a manifestation of a god.

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

Kuriyama and Yukiho agreed to meet under the very conspicuous shrine in the atrium.

"Kuriyama-san! Here!"

There was still some distance before Kuriyama saw the beautiful figure under the shrine, and the owner of that beautiful figure also noticed Kuriyama and waved.

The clear voice used the cold winter air as the transmission medium and rubbed into Kuriyama's ears.

Kuriyama quickened his pace.

There were still many people in the atrium at this time, and Kuriyama still couldn't stand their sights, so he wanted to quickly meet up with Yukiho and then leave the campus.

"Yukiho-san, good afternoon. May Inari God bless you."

Kuriyama said hello and then bowed to the statue.

There was nothing else in the atrium except the shrine, so Yukiho, the Flower of the High Mountain, stood together with an ordinary boy, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Kuriyama was just about to lower his head to avoid these gazes, but thinking about what he said in the classroom that he would try to stand in the sun, Kuriyama stopped his action.

"May Inari God bless you, Kuriyama-san."

Xuesui flipped her hair and smiled softly, as beautiful as the first snow.

"Let's go, that barber shop is quite far from here."

Yukiho obviously noticed Kuriyama's unnaturalness, so she made a very considerate suggestion.

"it is good."

Kuriyama nodded, and the two left the atrium.

After changing their shoes, Kuriyama and Yukiho walked together from school to the station.

Usually at this time, Kuriyama is with Miura, but today, he is walking side by side with Yukiho.

The temperature outside the school seems to be colder than inside the school.

The cold wind blew on Kuriyama's face, making him feel dazed.

Everything that happened in school today seemed like a dream. No, even in a dream, he didn't dare to think that his relationship with Xuexi would develop so fast.

Kuriyama glanced at Yukiho next to him somewhat unrealistically, and Yukiho seemed to feel it. He turned his face and smiled at Kuriyama, his eyebrows and eyes arched, like two waning moons, shining brightly.

Kuriyama's heart skipped a beat again unconsciously, and he looked away.

This is not a dream, this is reality.

Kuriyama was determined.

However, my heartbeat is a little strange today. It always stops suddenly. Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup? Kuriyama thought this way.

Another gust of cold wind blew, and Kuriyama found that the girl beside him seemed to be trembling.

ah! Kuriyama mentally beat his head.

I am really hopelessly stupid.

Yukiho-san didn't have a scarf, but she was still wearing a skirt. She must have been colder than herself.

So Kuriyama untied his scarf, and his neck suddenly lost its protection, and the cold air couldn't stop creeping in.

Kuriyama shrank his neck and shuddered.

"...Yukiho-san, you'd better put on a scarf to keep you warm. It's really too cold this winter."

Yukiho looked at the scarf in Kuriyama's hand and waved her hand quickly.

"No, no, it will be very cold for Kuriyama-san. I actually feel fine, not that cold."

But her pale face and body that trembled from time to time showed that the girl had said something against her will.

"Yukiho-san's body has been shaking. It's better to surround her."

"Besides, I'm a boy, so it's okay to be a little cold. My hands are still very hot. If you don't believe me, Yukiho-san, come and touch them."

Yukiho touched it and found that Kuriyama's hand was indeed much hotter than her own.

So, under Kuriyama's encouraging eyes, Yukiho picked up Kuriyama's scarf.

Since the scarf had been taken off for a while, even the residual warmth of Kuriyama was no longer on it, but Yukiho still felt the warmth when she put it around it.

The two smiled at each other.

For a moment, Kuriyama felt that it was not so cold after taking off the scarf, and the cold wind blowing on his face was not so biting. It was gentle and soft, as if the wind was caressing his lover's cheek.

Thank you Lord Inari!

Kuriyama said in his heart.
