The author has something to say: 2015.02.03

Xiuwen.

Mom asked, Qiao Qiao, do you want to live abroad with me.

At this time, Lin Qiao was a sophomore in high school.It has been a year since Dad reorganized the new family, and they are happy.The last time she visited was during the winter vacation, and she saw the gentle and kind Aunt Keiko serving delicious refreshments with her bulging belly, and she could see the scattered toys and cribs in a small room with the door still closed .Now, a little baby has been born.

As for her mother, Lin Qiao would sometimes hear her calling, speaking in a language she did not understand. At that time, Lin Qiao realized that her mother, who had always been tough and capable, would not only see herself sick, but also at such moments. With a soft, defenseless look while holding the phone.Mother stared down at the ring on her hand, the corners of her eyes were moistened little by little, but her face was full of comfortable smiles, and deep wrinkles were still revealed on her well-maintained face.

"You peeked at me on the phone?!"

"Ah, I didn't see anything!"

Lin Qiao dexterously dodged her mother's hand pretending to hit her with a smile, but she clearly recognized the shy expression on her mother's face that she was trying to control.

ah ah ah.Mom is already this age.And Lin Qiao is no longer the age to be willful.

Lin Qiao really didn't understand whether his parents were in love with each other back then.But she understands one thing, that is, when two people who are too strong collide, they will only be like two hard rocks that cannot be shaken.

On the other hand, the two people who always hide everything in their hearts, this awkward softness makes the way of getting along always remain silent, like two onions, tossing and hurting each other before they can be petal by petal She peeled off the layers of defense wrapped inside and outside her heart, and shed tears involuntarily while spying on the other party's thoughts, but finally found that Onion has no heart at all.

Nothing—is it just her and Hotaru Tsukishima?

"Can you wait a little longer?" Lin Qiao sat opposite her mother and touched the coffee cup, "At least, wait until I finish high school?"

"What? Are you reluctant to part with your silver-haired, blue-eyed little boyfriend?" Mom teased.

Lin Qiao originally wanted to say that Lev's idiot is not my boyfriend, but why explain so much... Is she going to tell her mother that I like another tall boy——Tsukishima Hotaru .When these three words came out of her chest, it was as if a cup of cold bitter coffee had been spilled on her heart, suppressing her heartbeat that should have been speeding up bit by bit.

Lin Qiao was indeed reluctant.But she felt that the definite reason for her wanting to stay was no longer based on that boy—although he was once the irreversible heartbeat of her entire fifteen or sixteen years old.

"I... can't bear them." Lin Qiao said, "I can't bear my roommates, and those guys from the volleyball club."

For a period of time after the start of the second year of high school, the players were trained to integrate the team, and then there were practice games for several schools as usual.

Karasuno is very strong.Last year, it was still an immature crow in the mouth of Coach Mao You. After a year of experience, it has become a strong flying beast with full wings.

Lin Qiao thought of himself last year, with short hair, who was in a hurry as the manager of the volleyball club. During the summer vacation, he still had a thumping girl's heart, and shouted at Wuye. Cheers all day long.Hotaru Tsukishima cast her mocking gaze over her, she blushed from the fuss, and made Karasuno's beautiful female manager, Kiyoko Shimizu, laugh.

At that time, she firmly believed that Karasuno would never be a weakling who would be taken advantage of by mermaids, and she also firmly believed that she had a wholehearted heart and yearning for that boy.

Now, Lin Qiao has started to work as a manager. She is busy, staring at Yinju's playing field to record the score or busy distributing water and towels when the players are resting. The jerseys that came down, carried them into the storage room and put them away. When I turned around, I ran into Tsukishima Hotaru who just came in with the equipment.

In the not-so-spacious storage room, the tall boy holding the equipment got closer and closer.With her left hand resting on her right wrist, she felt a weak pulse with her fingertips, which was rare and steady. She suddenly felt a strange sense of strangeness—she had been in a gymnasium all day long, but she couldn’t see her when she looked up. , but I feel like I haven't seen a guy for a long, long time.

Lin Qiao laughed at himself—maybe it was because he didn't have the time to pay attention to him when he was busy now.

"Ah--I'm so hungry--"

"Yes! I've packed it up. Let's go out to say goodbye to other schools, and then go eat teppanyaki." Lin Qiao responded to Yinju's hungry counterparts from Yue to his side, and walked from him majestically. Walking away, she nodded politely as she passed by, and she tried her best to draw the corners of her mouth into the most natural arc, not as flustered as before.

Because it was the first time for the new and old members of the volleyball club to have dinner together, everyone made a fuss for a long time before they agreed to leave.

Lin Qiao looked at the time and sighed silently.The door of the dormitory is restricted, and I have to climb the wall again.She has indeed made perfect with practice, but... Hey, this is not a skill to be proud of.

"Lev..."

"Oh. No problem!"

"...I haven't said anything yet."

"Access control." Hui Yu shook his head, "I know. That's all."

Lin Qiao froze for a moment, scratched her hair, and laughed.

"Then... trouble you!"

After returning to school, with the help of Hui Yu, Lin Qiao climbed to the top of the wall smoothly.

She waved her hand at Hui Yu. She was about to turn around and jump back into the dormitory wall, but when she looked up, she saw a round moon in the clear night sky, with a thin crescent half bent, hanging alone in the night sky. inside.There are no thick clouds, no bright stars.But it is also very beautiful.Everything is the same as the moon, how can it always be perfect.

"Lev..." Lin Qiao shook his hands, the faint light in his palm was like gurgling water, "Actually, the scenery tonight is pretty good."

"...Is there?" Hui Yu's pitifully few romantic cells did not stand up at such a critical moment, and he scratched his short silver-gray hair in a daze, "Aren't they all the same? A moon A few stars! A few cold winds! You can’t see your fingers—oh why did I think of Yinju’s horror story!”

"...No fun guy!" Lin Qiao was amused by Hui Yu's hairy appearance, and she swung her feet as if to kick the boy who was leaning against the wall, but she lost her balance as soon as she lifted her foot. When the blank space occupied her body, her body was already on the verge of collapse, and before she could blurt out the screams, Lev Huiba's name was now called out by her.

"Le... Lev—"

Hui Yu was very close to her, and caught her as soon as he turned around.

"Wow! It's a beautiful rescue——" Huiyu Lefu firmly caught the girl who fell from the wall, and he happily gave himself a thumbs up.Lin Qiao pushed him away, angry and funny, and finally raised his hand and punched him in the chest, "Really... But, thanks. Then I have to trouble you to let me step on it again. I really have to go back to the dormitory this time."

After tossing for a while, Hui Yu looked up and watched Lin Qiao climb up the wall again, when he suddenly stopped her loudly.

"Jojo—"

"Hey?"

"Don't worry!" He pursed his lips seriously, "No matter what, I will catch you!"

"...Aha?"

"I'll catch you!"

"..." Lin Qiao sat silently on the wall and looked down at Hui Yu's unusually serious green eyes, feeling that the blood in her body was warmed by these simple and straightforward words, she was not even sensitive Suspiciously trying to figure out the credibility of this sentence, she told herself that she must be confused by Hui Yu's beautiful green eyes.Her heartbeat flustered slightly, she lowered her eyelashes to cover the wavering emotions in her eyes, and turned her head away, "What nonsense...you idiot...thank you. Then, good night."

Lin Qiao jumped off the wall and did not leave.I stood up and leaned my back against the wall, watching the clouds slowly rushing around the moon, flustered.

Across the wall, Huiyu Lev over there also didn't leave, he leaned against the wall and looked at the sky, the snare drum in his heart was beating more and more joyfully—did he see something in Qiao Qiao's eyes just now? Something incredible?Much like...very like!It was like what my mother saw in her tearful eyes when my father hugged sunflowers on the snow in Moscow that year.
