"Actually, I'm not familiar with it." Tsukishima Kaoru explained helplessly to Ushishima Ruori next to him.

Ushishima was puzzled. (Then why are you still here?)

"Because, in fact, this party is for us."

The two of them came to the Norton couple's [-]th wedding anniversary party. It was said to be a commemoration, but it was actually an excuse to bid farewell to the astronauts who boarded the ISS.

(Why not just party for the send-off astronauts?)

"It's a tradition... a habit? We have a party when we return to the voyage, but we don't have a party when we send it off, so we can only find an excuse."

"It's also because I will be isolated from the outside world for a long time before I leave, and I can't really say goodbye before leaving."

The two were in the corner, chatting with one another.

Ushido will leave in two days, and Tsukishima wants to spend as much time with him as possible.

Ever since the embarrassing cry in front of Niu Dao that day, the vague sense of restraint between the two of them seemed to have disappeared.

But it's missing a little... just a little bit...

(two more days...)

"You two, you have been bored in the corner for a long time." The host Norton came over and pulled Yuedao onto the dance floor, "Come on, let's have a dance."

He turned back and waved to Ushido, with a helpless tone, "Come here quickly, are you waiting for the lady to invite you?"

Tsukishima sighed helplessly.

She and Niu Dao seem to be regarded as lovers by default.

(Then what is the relationship between the two of us now?)

The other dance partners were all snuggling closely together, only the two of them, separated by a step - about an adult could squeeze in, supporting each other in a serious manner, standing there awkwardly and awkwardly with arms crossed.As the music sounded, it moved slowly with the people around it even more awkwardly.

"If the sun should tumble from the sky,

If these should suddenly run dry"

As soon as the lyrics started, Yue Dao felt something was wrong all over his body, and he was very infatuated with the lingering lyrics, which was inexplicably embarrassing.

"If you love me, really love me,

Makeithappen, Iwon't care.

……

Shall I catcha falling star

Shall I bring it where you are"

The two danced for a while, and Udo suddenly spoke.

"I can't understand the emotion in the lyrics at all."

"I can't seem to be so crazy for one person."

"I like being with you, but I can't let go of everything for you and abandon everything else."

"When you left, I was very sad, but I was just in a daze. The training will continue and the game will continue as usual."

"I'm probably a very self-centered person, so no matter what you think, even if it's very reluctant, I still want to be with you for a long time."

"But if you have to leave anyway, it seems that life can only go on, and you can only continue the previous trajectory of life."

"Even so……"

"Xun, do I like you?" Niu Dao lowered his head to find Yue Dao's eyes.

Tsukishima moved closer to him and buried her face in his arms.

(How cunning, this way of asking.)

The sudden intimacy made Ushishima startled, and he slowly wrapped his arms around her waist.

"If I wasn't here, would you find someone suitable to marry and have children?" Tsukishima asked in his arms.

Ushishima was silent for a while, then said, "Yes."

The voice came from his chest, it sounded muffled.

(So ​​cunning.)

The two hugged each other silently, drifting with the slow rhythm on the dance floor.

(If you take someone's hand and leave me alone...)

(If I can't come back, you turn around and start a family with someone else...)

"Well, you like me." She said firmly.

(I can't let you just turn around and walk away.)

(Leave my trace even if I never come back.)

"What about you?" Ushido asked.

Tsukishima raised his head to look at Ushido, his cold and correct eyebrows and eyes were reflected in his eyes.

"I like you too." She raised her face.

(Of course I like you.)

(You are my ideal come alive.)

"I've always liked you." She slowly closed her eyes.

(You seem to be shining... Ushishima Wakari.)

"It's never changed, I only like you." The eyelashes trembled slightly.

(When you're there, you can't see anyone else)

Ushido lowered his head slowly.

On the slowly flowing dance floor, no one noticed, and two people stopped.

"Let's get married." After a kiss, Tsukishima raised his head and said.

Ushishima was startled for a moment, then laughed.

Tsukishima felt so familiar with that smile...she had seen it once...

Until Ushishima took out a warm ring from his pocket as if he had expected it, and put it on Tsukishima Kaoru's finger.

Tsukishima was stunned.

Ah, yes...

Memories are like a gust of wind. On the dim dance floor, the afternoon sun that once made her blush seem to shine on her again. The young man on the opposite side smiled "I knew it", and then said calmly, "Let's date as boyfriend and girlfriend first. .”

There was still a faint smile on the corner of Ushido's mouth, and he pulled Yuedao, who was still a little bit unrepentant, back from the dance floor, and whispered in her ear, "I remember that Xun wanted children very much from before." He obviously I also remembered that incident, "But the time is not right now, let's get married first, the child will be discussed when you come back."

The charming atmosphere was instantly shattered, and the corners of Tsukishima Kaoru's mouth twitched.

(No, that was a misunderstanding.)

(No, wait, the proposal was successful?)

(Why do I feel a little upset again...)

After putting the ring on Tsukishima, Niu Dao kept holding her hand and took her to find a corner to sit down. Because there was still some noise around, he whispered in her ear to discuss:

"Do you remember what my house looked like?"

"I've never been to your house."

"Let's cut it first and then play it." There seemed to be a hint of a smile in his tone.

"When you come back, we will make up the step of making a formal visit."

"My biological father is in the United States, do you want to meet him first?"

He has already started to make serious arrangements.

So natural, as if it should be.

Hearing his question, Kaoru Tsukishima couldn't help thinking seriously.

"Of course I remember your house. After all, I have been there several times... and many things have happened."

"My hometown is actually in Hokkaido, of course you haven't been there..."

"Why is it so urgent?—Then we will go to apply for a certificate tomorrow?"

"I can't leave now, I can only trouble your father to come over, isn't it good?"

"And if you meet your father first, will your mother mind?"

The two were like children discussing about doing bad things, their heads were put together, and they laughed lowly from time to time.

Knees together, fingers clasped, a ring gleaming in the flickering light.

Norton, who was dancing slowly with his wife in his arms, winked at the Japanese, and motioned him to look at the couple who were intimately whispering together in the corner.

(Look at mine, is it done?)

Riri gave two thumbs up.

(two thumbs up!)

……

The next day, the two received their marriage certificate at the local government's city hall. Apart from the staff, the only witness was Ririren, whose jaw dropped from shock.He took a video recorder to record the scene where the bride and groom were declared husband and wife without tuxedos—the certificate itself probably wasn't valid in Japan itself, but the two people who said the vows were serious.

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

They are officially husband and wife.

Ririren, who saw this scene through the camera, also laughed.

(It's great that I tried to contact Udo in the first place.)

Many things, if you don't try it, you will never know how unexpectedly good the ending will be.

If you don't go on, you don't know what kind of surprises fate has prepared for you.

He lowered his head slightly, and the sunglasses hanging on the T-shirt were safely in his peripheral vision...

……

Oi Chuanche was lying on his back on the bed, scrolling through Twitter, and suddenly jumped up from the bed in shock.

He zoomed in on the picture carefully - "KAORUTSUKISHIMA"

He froze for a moment, and let out a shocking laugh.

After laughing enough, he looked at Niu Dao's marriage certificate tweet and whispered with a smile, "Niu Ruo is very skilled."

Then he suddenly thought of something again, and his face changed.

Oops, if Mavericks knew what he knew and didn't report?

After thinking about it, well, if you know, what can you do with me...

Aren't they all married anyway?He thought brokenly.

He smirked for a while at the English-language marriage certificate that was said to have been issued in the United States.

As if a heavy burden was suddenly lifted from his heart, Ji Chuanche slowly sat on the ground leaning against the edge of the bed, he nodded his praise, and started typing,

"Yes, well, cherish each other,~"

He smiled faintly.

(Treat each other well.)

(Don't give up easily.)

……

Abe returned to the room after washing, and found that the screen of the mobile phone was on, indicating that it was a text message from Tsukishima.

While wiping his hair with a towel, he clicked on the text message, "Abe-kun, I have fulfilled my two greatest wishes--to be so happy that I would die tomorrow without any regrets! I would never be able to do it without you, thank you!"

He froze for a moment, looked at the time and calculated silently in his heart.

(Is the launch a few hours away?)

Abe was muttering, what is this guy thinking, saying such unlucky words at this time?Put down the towel.

"Give me, well, live, fool, you also want to witness me, realize, the next dream, otherwise, two to one, very unfair." Send.

Casually, no matter how big or small the tone is.

Looking at the sent sign on the screen, Abe remembered the exaggerated words in Tsukishima's text message again.

Is it so happy that you have nothing to regret when you die tomorrow?

I remembered the unremarkable piece of news that I saw two days ago, about the flash marriage between the athlete and the astronaut...

(Renrou Township is a tomb of heroes?)

(——It seems to be used wrongly?)

With a click, he began to sit down and study.

……

Only one or two dreams come true, you don't know it yet, Tsukishima.

Only by having a dream ahead can we bravely reach farther and farther places.
