[Black Basket] Winter Cherry Blossoms

Even though it was a brief reunion, there was still reluctance. Saya stayed where she was, with messy thoughts floating in her mind. Akashi, who was beside him, also saw her strangeness, and just patted her on the shoulder to cheer her up. , Don't always trap yourself in the memories of the past.

"Saya, let's go eat ice cream." Taking his lover's hand, Akashi pulled Saya back into the lively crowd. After lunch, having a dessert after dinner might make people feel better, especially one of the famous items here is Ice cream, for girls, it should be an excellent soothing medicine.

The two came to the famous dessert shop in the old street, where there were not many people in line. Akashi asked Saya to wait next to the shop, while he went to queue to buy ice cream.Because the reputation of this dessert shop is very popular on the Internet, as time goes by, more people pass by the shop, some of them are not customers at all, their eyes are looking in the crowd, lingering on different girls , Finally, the figure next to the dessert shop attracted their attention.

"My lovely lady, are you interested in debuting as a star?" The person who went to strike up a conversation didn't procrastinate, and went straight to the point.

"I'm not interested." Sha Ye, who was accosted, was also not angry, but gave his answer indifferently, but this could not make the middle-aged man who automatically stuck to him leave, but he had to make an inch of it to chat with her.

"How can you not be interested? As long as you agree to debut, our office will definitely make you popular and make you the most popular photo girl." The middle-aged man who approached him glanced at Saya's figure, and sighed secretly that he could find someone during this trip. This year's bonus and year-end bonus seem to be nothing to worry about.

"Sir, please stay away from her, she is not the person you are looking for." Akashi who was going to buy ice cream rushed back as quickly as possible, but unexpectedly encountered trouble with someone looking for Saya.His face sank, and he quickly used his body to block in front of Saya, just barely getting the ice cream in his hand onto Saya's body.

"You...you can't ruin your girlfriend's future as a boyfriend." The scout who was looking for someone was not panicked by Akashi's appearance, but even scolded him, "Look at her, she is beautiful and has a good figure, It's a pity not to debut as a model, you should support her instead of opposing her debut."

"Get out, don't let me say it a second time." Akashi's face was gloomy, and his tone of voice was accentuated. If his cold gaze could kill someone, the scout who found fault would have died countless times.

"He's handsome, but he speaks so fiercely. Be careful of being dumped, boy."

The scout who was stared at was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Under the unspeakable low pressure, he realized that it was of no benefit for him to stay where he was, and he could only say angry words, and disappeared in the crowd of people in despair.

The person who found the fault disappeared, and the two-person world belonging to the lover returned to normal. Akashi took Saya to a nearby bench, handed her the matcha ice cream he bought, and looked around vigilantly to see if there were any scouts. People like that hang around.

"Seijuro, I'm fine, you don't have to be nervous." Saya wanted Akashi to relax his tense nerves, but he stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek and said, "I'll just tie you by my side from now on, I'm really worried about leaving you alone."

"It hurts...my skin is not as good as yours, so don't pinch it anymore..." It may be that Akashi likes to eat plant-based protein foods such as tofu. Saya always feels that his skin is better than hers. It's really cool to call him the tofu prince appropriate.

"Say something nonsense, make jokes again, be careful that I'm really punishing you here." Letting go, the depression in Akashi's heart has subsided a little, maybe he became so nervous because he was overly worried about Saya's safety, but The main reason for his anger is that today's date is very special. He doesn't want others to disturb him, and he only hopes that she can spend this day happily.

"Okay, young master, just spare me, eat some ice cream first to calm down."

Saya picked up the small plastic spoon inserted on the ice cream, scooped a little to Akashi's lips, and he ate the ice cream unceremoniously, and wrapped her waist with his left hand to keep her from staying away from him, so as not to Some people come to find fault with ignorance.

"I originally bought it for you, how come I'm eating it?" Although Akashi liked this kind of intimacy very much, he still wanted to share it with his lover. Fortunately, the seller thoughtfully prepared two plastic spoons. Picking up another one, scooping up some ice cream and feeding it into her mouth too.

"I'm trying to appease your emotions. In fact, I'm not as weak as you think. I can deal with those who find fault." Phenomena such as strike-up by strangers are very common in middle school, and Saya usually just treats them coldly, waiting for them If you think she is boring, you will naturally leave.Now that Akashi rescued her, she felt for the first time that having someone to rely on by her side was really a happy feeling.

"With me by your side, you don't have to force yourself." After eating the matcha ice cream, Akashi glanced at his watch, and before he knew it, it was time to meet up with the elders, but before going back, he wanted to go to another place.

"Where are we going next? At this time, the festival parade on the Katsura River is about to start, we still have time to go back." Saya thought that Akashi wanted to go back to watch the festival, but she didn't expect that the place he said was beyond her expectation Besides, the place he was going to happened to be where she wanted to go.

"Let's go to Togetsukyo Bridge."

*****

Duyue Bridge, an ancient bridge across Guichuan, will cause traffic jams in spring and autumn due to the peak tourist season.However, in terms of viewing location, the bridge is in a very good location, allowing you to enjoy the scenery around Arashiyama at a glance, but for some people, its existence has a more important meaning.

Walking on the sidewalk on the bridge, the sound of ritual and music from the festival under the bridge can be heard endlessly. At that moment, Akashi seemed to see his own childhood, when his mother led him to watch the festival by the bridge, and his father was afraid that the crowd would block him. Sight, let him sit on his shoulders, looking down at everything under the bridge, the happy picture of this family of three is still deeply in his mind.

Now I revisit the old place, and at the same location, my mother is no longer there.And no matter how busy the father is, he will come here every year and miss his wife's voice and smile. After all, Duyue Bridge is their place of love, and it is reasonable to forget the past.

Seeing Akashi standing beside the bridge lost in thought, Saya didn't dare to speak rashly, but just accompanied him silently by his side. This bridge has Akashi's childhood memories. Similarly, for her, it also leaves her and her relationship here. Mother's footprints.

Once upon a time, when she was still a child, she took the red maple that had just fallen, and gave it to her mother as a gift, like picking up a treasure.

The mother in the wheelchair touched her head with a smile, and said to her gently: "Saya, when you grow up and have a family, you must bring your family back here."

Cherry blossoms in spring and red leaves in late autumn, she has kept her promise and used her own eyes to watch these beautiful scenery instead of her dead mother. Only the future, she can't be sure.Even though she has the confidence to go to the end hand in hand with Akashi, there are too many variables in the road of life, and it is destined that the road will not always be smooth sailing.

"After you put that ring on, I won't allow you to take it off." At some point, Akashi had come to his senses. He grabbed Saya's ring-wearing hand and held her ten fingers. He knew that she had something on her mind. , but the two have made an agreement that no matter what happens, he will never allow her to go back on her word.

"I haven't." Saya replied softly, "It's just that this bridge reminds me of the past."

People always say that the past is unbearable, but who can forget the good memories of the past?

The flower boats cruising on the Katsura River are becoming more and more beautiful every year. Time seems to be very favorable to the surrounding areas of Arashiyama. Whenever the years change, the scenery in spring and autumn is still the same as before, and there has never been much change. The only difference is that Those who came to enjoy the scenery, the little boys and girls at the beginning have grown up.

"Saya, we didn't catch each other in the past, and we should cherish the time in front of us even more now." Holding Saya in his arms, Akashi expressed his inner desire to her, "If you want to say that I am overbearing, yes* The problem, I just don't want you to leave, I won't make the same mistake again."

same error?Sha Ye couldn't help frowning, and she asked curiously, "Master, what mistake did you make? With your perfect ability to handle things, how could you make a mistake?"

Akashi gave a helpless wry smile. He didn't specify the reason, but continued: "No, I made a serious mistake a long time ago. If I could have realized that the relationship would change at that time, you and I should have met each other. Come together earlier, instead of being troubled by many factors."

"I'm glad you weren't interested in me back then."

Thinking of the photo taken by his cousin, Saya subconsciously awakened the forgotten past.At that time, she especially hated boys who played basketball. If she hadn't been entrusted by her uncle to visit her cousin who was studying in Teiko, she would never have met Akashi.

"Afraid of leaving a bad impression on me?" Akashi teased with a smile, "Then you can rest assured that I didn't hate you in the Teiguang period. On the contrary, I still have a little liking for you. Maybe this is fate at work. I knew you at that time She is an indifferent and strange girl, but because of that sentence, I reached out to take the umbrella you handed me."

Sha Ye suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, and she asked anxiously, "What did I say then?"

"That sentence was quite infuriating." Akashi held back a smile, but he didn't want to elaborate on the situation at that time, "Now, God has given me a chance to take revenge, so I can use similar words to teach you a lesson."

Sensing that the arms around his waist were tightening, and slowly closing the distance between the two, Saya hurriedly covered Akashi's lips with his hands, preventing him from leaning forward again, "No, don't you have something to say? It has nothing to do with kissing."

"You really want me to tell?" Akashi tested Saya's acceptance.

"Isn't it just a lecture, what's so special?" It's not that Saya is slow, but because of her attitude towards boys in middle school, what she said was usually sarcastic, and she was rarely pleasant, but listening to Akashi's tone made him "hold grudges." "For many years, that sentence may not be simple, what did she say to him?

"Forget it, I won't hide it from you."

Akashi bowed his head and whispered what he wanted to say in her ear, and Saya, who heard those words, turned redder and redder, until she glared at him in front of her a little angrily, and retorted dissatisfiedly, "I... ...I never said that, so don't misinterpret me on purpose."

"It doesn't matter whether you have it or not." Akashi trapped Saya in his arms, brushed the hair from her cheeks with his hand, and looked at her. I will cherish this gift from God.”

As soon as the words fell, Akashi had already kissed Saya's lips, completely forgetting about the festival's flower boat parade.Before the start of the winter cup training, he will spend less and less time with her, and this kiss seems to make up for the missing time next month. It keeps deepening and possessing, and slowly soothes the restless desire in his heart until He let go of her only after the music in his ears ended.

"Seijuro, we're going back to meet the elders." The red tide on his face did not fade, and Saya had to use other topics to divert his attention so that he could calm down.

"Come on, take my arm, it will be safer this way."

The Red Leaf Festival is over, and the tourists in the center of the bridge are also moving to both ends of the bridge, which makes the traffic on the bridge very congested again.In order to prevent the two from getting separated in the crowd, Akashi asked Saya to hold his hand, walked through the crowd, and walked to the meeting point together.

The beautiful scenery of late autumn slowly disappears amidst the noise of tourists. When the Kurama Fire Festival arrives, the season of red leaves will be gone, and the gorgeous red makeup will be replaced by white snow and cold. It will be the day of winter.
