[Digimon 06] Purple

Zi habitually arrived at the appointed place a few minutes earlier, but there was already someone waiting for her there.

At the corner of the street, the young man's upright figure stood alone in the snow-white light cast by the street lamp, and the shadows under his feet were stretched obliquely by the light.The temperature was lower at night, and the breath he breathed quickly condensed into a white mist in the icy air, rising up for a while and then disappearing where the lights couldn't care.

"Awaited?"

Her voice made Yu turn around immediately, "It hasn't been long," he deliberately explained to her, "I just arrived too."

It is not difficult to see from the tip of his cold red nose that this is another gentle lie.Zi didn't say anything directly, but instead stared at him for a while longer, "Yu, did you forget to wear your scarf?"

After being reminded by her, You touched his neck in a daze, and it turned out that the tentacles were empty, "It seems that I forgot..." As he spoke, his voice became softer and softer, and the opposite was Bai Jing. The thin red layer on the face became more and more obvious.Now he couldn't speak at all, and when he went out, he was still caught in the confusion brought to him by the news, and as a result, he forgot about the scarf his mother had deliberately placed in the entrance.

The expected answer made Zi Puchi laugh out loud, and then she took off her scarf.

"Xiaozi...?" Before Yu could finish speaking, the fluffy fabric surrounded her neck.Because there is still some human body temperature on it, and he can still feel the warmth surrounding the skin around his frozen neck softly, "But in this case, you..."

"It's okay." Zi interrupted his bewilderment, and carefully tied the scarf in her hands—she suddenly felt that her actions were like wrapping an important gift, "Actually, what I'm wearing today is Turtlenecks, so it doesn’t matter if you don’t wear a scarf.”

Yu secretly lowered his eyes, and glanced at the slender neck of the person in front of him that was protruding from the jacket and wrapped in the collar of the beige sweater.He suddenly seemed to think of something, and the blush on his cheeks deepened further.

Of course Zi noticed his small gestures, "I said Amano-kun," she thought that his classmates would never have imagined that the cheerful and gentle Amano Yuu would have such a shy side, so she couldn't help laughing out loud again Said, "It's too late to think about being shy now, isn't it?"

The flame rolling in her chest hadn't been completely extinguished, and she immediately added firewood for her seemingly understated teasing. "Xiao Zi..." You muttered softly, and quietly grasped her hand that was still sorting out the details in his palm.

The hands of both of them were a bit cold, but after holding each other together, it seemed that there was some warmth that would make people nostalgic.

"En." Zi replied naturally, "Let's go."

There are about ten minutes before the arrival of the new year, and many people gathered in Kameido Tenjin Shrine.Although most young people today prefer fashionable celebrations like the Yokohama Fireworks Show, on the way Zi and Yuu arrived at the shrine, they still met many students of their same level—by the way, Kameido Ten Shrine enshrines "Sugawara Michizane" is also the god of learning. Seeing that the two exams that decide to go to higher education are approaching, there are not a few people who take this opportunity to pay homage to try their luck.

After saying goodbye to Suzuya and Yamano, who also came together, Zi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but in the blink of an eye, Yuu was staring at her with a serious expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" Zi asked innocently.

You looked a little uneasy, "Xiao Zi," his small voice was like a snowflake, falling lightly on the edge of her ear, "is it okay if you don't review today?"

For candidates, "holidays" and "holidays" do not exist.And those of their peers around them are all in a hurry, and many of them choose to leave after buying the prayer guard.The same goes for Suzuya and Yamano who met Zi just now, even if they were willing to stop and talk to Zi, the content was actually related to exam review.

He knew that Zi had set his goal at the top of the pyramid, a position that seemed to be difficult for every outstanding student to reach, and in the eyes of ordinary people, it meant that he could not relax for a moment.

After getting along for many years, how could Zi Zi not understand his thoughts?

"I also want to give myself a vacation once in a while." At this time, the two of them huddled in a corner of the atrium, keeping a certain distance from the rest of the people who came to worship, but they didn't appear to be too dissociated, "Besides, There is something more important than reviewing today," so she could stand on tiptoe and whisper into his ear presumptuously, "Yu, I want to see you."

After she finished speaking as a matter of course, she immediately noticed that the person whose arms were encircled by her suddenly tensed up.Zi snickered and turned his eyes to look, and what came into view was the young man's flushed cheeks again.

Yuu felt that his face was getting hot again.

He didn't know whether Zi could imagine what kind of turbulent waves would explode in his heart every time she seemed to be an understatement.What's more, hidden under those high-sounding reasons, his true heart also has the same desire.

After entering the third year of high school, almost all the free time was occupied by study, and because the high school was still in different schools, there were very few opportunities for the two to meet each other.Even though there are only a few streets between the two families, they are both busy preparing for graduation exams, and sometimes it becomes a matter of course not seeing each other for more than half a month.

Originally thought that it was the barrier of Dao that would disappear only after the exam was over, but unexpectedly... You lowered his eyes sadly, and he felt confused and at a loss as to what he was about to face after this turning point.

His eyes touched the girl who was quietly nestling on his shoulder after the joke, and even the smile on his lips became bitter.

"Eh?" The cheers coming from the direction of the main hall of the shrine made Zimeng stand up straight, "Is it time already?" Accompanied by the countdown in unison from the crowd, she hurriedly took out her phone from her pocket to check the time .

The last few seconds belonging to "Heisei" are fleeting, and the moment the phone screen lights up, it happens that the numbers on the clock are all reset to zero tacitly.A few bright fireworks are blooming in the distant night sky, and the ringing bells of the nearby Buddhist temple are thick and long. Two completely different ways, modern and classical, appear at the same moment inconceivably, just to celebrate the new year Into the world on this cold night.

"Happy New Year!" Zi and You looked at each other, and at the same time sent each other the first sentence of congratulations for the New Year in a tacit understanding.

In the group chat, I sent New Year blessings to Senior Daqi and others, and Zi then pulled Yu into the worshiping crowd.After bowing and clapping one by one to make a wish according to the steps, the next step is to draw this year's fortune lottery as usual.

Here Zi stared at his fortune for a long time, then slowly moved his eyes away from the note in his hand.

Yuu was still in a daze.His eyes did still fall on the words in the scroll, but—obviously, Shensi had gone nowhere.

"What's wrong?" Yuu's trance made Zi a little worried, "Is it bad?" she asked cautiously.

Yuu was brought back to God by her voice.But he didn't open his mouth to answer, but took the initiative to show the scroll in his hand to Zi's eyes.At the top of the signing paper is the word "Daji" in a neat and orderly manner.

"Daji? Isn't this great!" Zi looked down at her lottery again, "I only have Xiaoji." She put her lottery paper and Yu's side by side for comparison.

"But for me, Xiaoji is enough." Zi motioned to you to look at this signed note after the detailed rules of "study".The small square characters are squeezed together, listing a sentence "No pain, no gain".

After reading the "Study" part, Yu's eyes unconsciously moved to other items.And the one next to "study" happens to be "love". "The most important thing is the distance between the heart and the heart." He looked at the signature and unconsciously read it in a low voice.

"The distance between heart and heart...?" Zi followed Yuu's self-talk and repeated it in a low voice. Suddenly, as if aware of something, she turned her head to look at him.

Yuu didn't expect to meet her eyes at this moment.

The lighting imitating a lantern hanging in the corridor emits an ambiguous orange-yellow halo, which sparkles gently in her light purple eyes.It made him think of how many years ago, she stood in the light that was ten thousand times more brilliant than this light, and those bright pupils shone like today, as if she wanted to hide all the dark corners where he was trying to hide his thoughts together. illuminate.

"Xiao Zi," he asked tentatively, "Did you already know?"

He was very direct for a while, which made Zi a little uncomfortable, "I'm still thinking, when will you take the initiative to confess to me." She continued to use a brisk tone, but the eyes she met with him turned away. Aside, "Miss Yinyin didn't tell me." She also guessed his question, and explained before he could speak, "It was when I held a book club at Yu's house on Christmas, and I saw you in your room. textbooks for learning German."

She had no intention of snooping, but couldn't help being attracted by the few foreign words on the cover.

The book has been in use for some time - at least as evidenced by the deep crease on the cover near the spine and the creases at the footer of the pages.Under the dim moonlight, Zi curiously opened the page marked by the bookmark, and the notes written in her familiar handwriting filled the blank space of the paper.

"No wonder, Yuu seemed to be only reviewing English that night."

Even before that, all kinds of clues had leaked out, but she hadn't noticed—he had been preparing for studying abroad.

Her words made Yu even more uneasy, "Well, I'm sorry, I didn't intend to hide you deliberately... At first, my mother just suggested that I try it, and I didn't expect to receive the admission letter today..." He explained a few sentences, But immediately thinking of the doneness, all his excuses were meaningless, and in the end he could only whisper, "I'm sorry."

Zi suddenly burst into laughter, "I can accept the first sentence of apology, but what is the second sentence for? Choosing to go abroad for you?"

Before the words fell, Yu suddenly stretched out his hand and wrapped her in his arms. "Because I know," he said with difficulty, "if I choose to study abroad, I won't be able to be like this..."

Although life in the third year of high school is busy, it is not difficult to meet each other.But once he made up his mind to embark on a journey abroad, the distance between them was no longer just a few streets that could be crossed in 5 minutes, but it took nearly thirteen hours for a non-stop plane to fly. Eight hours of time difference.

Zi thought for a while, then asked him with a smile, "Then, if I told you 'don't go', would you choose to give up and stay after receiving the admission notice?" The voice coming out of his chest was a little muffled.

The arms around her tightened slightly, "...I'm sorry."

Before Yu opened his mouth, Zi had expected that he would give this answer.

Just like on the day when she discovered this fact, when Zi stuck her fingertips to the page full of notes, the emotion that occupied her heart was not the anger that was deliberately concealed, nor the loneliness and sadness that she was about to face parting, but the emotion that occupied her heart. It's... annoyed.She regrets being limited by her own dullness and narrowness.Now that he has found a vast existence that is more suitable for him outside the familiar daily life, he naturally understands what is the best choice.

So she also stretched out her hand and hugged her lover tightly, "It seems that we are going in different directions, but our destination is the same, isn't it?"

"En." The young man's voice came, warm and moist to her ears, and gently brushed her heart.

"Xiaozi, can you give me this 'Xiaoji'?"

After Zi nodded blankly, Yu put the lottery paper he had drawn into her palm, and he carefully folded the exchanged "Xiaoji" and stuffed it into the pocket of his coat.

"But," Zi looked at the fortune lottery that had been exchanged in his hand and said "good luck", "isn't it too much of a disadvantage for you?"

"That's enough for me." Yu smiled contentedly, then took her hand, "This is enough."

The author has something to say:

Friends who don’t understand, I can explain that Heisei is the year name of Neon, and then Emperor Neon abdicated (it seems to be?), and the year name will be changed in 2019, so the title "The last big dark day of Heisei" refers to 2018 December 12st of 31... Yes, according to the real time, Ah Zi will take the college entrance examination next week (laughs.

This is a meaningless side story.Originally, I wanted to briefly explain the future of the two people, but in the end nothing was stuffed in.In fact, I have done textual research, and I have plans and arrangements for the future of these two people, but I couldn't find some information, so I didn't make it clear.

Then I'm going to say that sentence that looks a little familiar again. The world line outside the last chapter is about to change, please be mentally prepared -_,-
