[Net King] It's just that the butterfly doesn't want to

The continuous spring rain finally stopped.

In the quiet afternoon, the sun was warm, and Liu Lianer was watering the plants on the window sill. Seeing Ogata Yui walking into the library through the reflection of the window glass, his movements paused a little.

From the book collection area of ​​the library to the book return area, you need to pass through the reading room in the middle. Most of the time, Yui Ogata is in charge of borrowing and returning books, while Liu Lianer is always checking and sorting by the bookshelf.

I don't know when this division of labor has become their tacit understanding and they will not interfere with each other.

Across the stacks of bookshelves in the library area, the young man who is good at collecting data has gotten used to looking at Yui Ogata in the other corner, quietly observing her every move.

With the recent rainy days, there seemed to be an unresolved depression in the girl's eyebrows and eyes, which did not dissipate as the rain passed and the sky cleared at this time.

This actually made Liu Lianer a little concerned.

In his impression, Yui Ogata was always able to maintain an appropriate mood. When getting along with anyone, she was hardly angry or overjoyed. It was this sense of sluggish isolation that made her The crowd is lonely.

——If you come into close contact with her, you might get hurt.

Sensitive adolescents and girls have a natural intuition like a small animal, and the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages is in the genes for early warning.Therefore, although Yui Ogata seems to be very popular and has been loved by many people, he has never had a real friend who can really make deep friends.She herself didn't care about it.

It turned out that she would also be upset because of someone or something?

Liu Lian Er put down the plant in his hand, the boy's eyes fell on the purple petals, and suddenly remembered what he said when he went to ask Yukimura Seiichi for seeds when the other party handed him the flower pot in Kuniichi.

【"...seeds?" Seiichi Yukimura looked over in surprise, "Since when were you interested in gardening?"

"Going to have a plant in the library."

"Is that so."

Yukimura Seichi pondered for a moment, didn't ask any more questions, and searched in his closet for a while before handing the bag of seeds together with the flower pot to Lianji.

"Aren't you going to ask what flower's seed it is?"

"..."

Liu Lian Er thought about it, then shook her head.

"It's a very special seed." Yukimura Seichi didn't care about his rare negligence on the data, and said with a smile, "It will germinate quietly in the soil and grow roots. maybe."】

The young man put the flower pot with the unknown seeds on the window sill of the reading room. When he was taking care of it, people often came to ask what kind of plant it was, but Liu Lian Er remained silent.

But Yui Ogata never cared about the separation of the room.

Even though she always had to pass by the reading room when she was working, she never once asked about the flower pots that were prominently placed.

Day after day, Liu Lianer gradually discovered that not only was the empty flowerpot, but also she hardly cared about anything happening around her, which somewhat slowed down his progress in collecting data.

The nib of the pen stopped on the paper, forming ink dots one after another.

He has forgotten when he first saw a girl.

On the playground where many people train, the overcrowded cafeteria, and the dull auditorium, his eyes can always pass through the crowd and land on Yui Ogata accurately.

The unexplained affection for him was not overwhelming, but it caught his sight like a transparent silk thread.

The campus where they meet frequently, as long as he says hello, maybe he can get to know the relationship.

But Liu Lian Er did not do this.

Until that afternoon, Yui Ogata took the initiative to step into the library.

The faintly visible silk thread seemed to suddenly materialize in front of his eyes, and the fate of being drawn in the dark made him speechless for a moment.

Curious and serious, it is hard to tell which emotion has the upper hand, and when he reacts, the boy's eyes have fallen on Ogata Yui for a longer time.He understands every little unconscious habit of hers, and her reactions that appear dull due to alienation. The slowness of this sense of estrangement reflected in Ogata Yui's body has a kind of endearing meaning.

The plant grows its first leaves.

When Liu Lianer was watering, he heard the voice of Ogata Yui talking to a girl in the same class behind him. The other party was recommending a love novel. Ogata Yui wrote it down carefully and said that he would definitely read it.

He paused and shook his head.

That pot of nameless flowers bloomed quietly one morning.

A boy from the basketball team stopped the girl from confessing in the corridor, and a booing crowd gathered around. Through the window, I could only see Yui Ogata who seemed to be politely rejecting the other party. The girl frowned slowly.

He hesitated for a moment, and opened the window.

"I don't understand." She said in a low voice, her tone was the same as when she encountered a difficult math problem, "I really don't understand..."

The young man who is good at analysis just glanced at it curiously.

How to describe it?

That moment that seemed destined.

It's like finding a book I've been looking for for a long time. When I took it down, I accidentally turned to the last page and saw the ending.It doesn't matter how tortuous or long the middle is.

"Lian Er, good morning." Noticing his gaze, the girl turned her head and said hello, "...Ah, bad, I'm going to be late."

Ogata Yui passed by the window with the book in his arms.

The pot of flowers placed on the window sill has already bloomed in gorgeous colors, but her eyes still did not fall.

Liu Lianer thought, as long as she mentioned something about growing flowers to her, she would definitely listen carefully and then focus on the potted flowers like listening to someone else's nonsense novel.

But that's not what observers are supposed to do.

Sometimes, Liu Lian'er felt that Yui Ogata was also like an unknown seed, and he quietly watched that seed, waiting for it to grow.He didn't know what kind of flower it was, and he didn't know if it would ever bloom.

Ke Lian Er still harbors a trace of unspeakable expectation, at least, he hopes that her eyes will actively fall somewhere

Time passes.

In the third semester of the second grade, Liu Lianer returned to school after finishing the seminar. She thought that the flower she had been taking care of for a long time would wither, but unexpectedly, the purple flower was still blooming tenaciously, and the fine water drops flowed smoothly. With the leaves slipping.

"It's Jiju."

Ogata Yui approached from behind him, "I'll take care of you a little while you're away."

"—"

The boy suddenly opened his eyes, just in time to meet the girl's clear eyes.

"When did the flowers bloom?" She asked curiously.

Seiichi Yukimura's slightly smiling voice sounded in his ear, and he thought slowly—the seed named "Yui Ogata", at a certain moment, quietly germinated in a place that no one had noticed.

"you recognize?"

"Ah."

"Is it because you raised it?"

"No... I seem to have heard it from someone." She showed a thoughtful look, but before she could come up with an answer, she was soon interrupted by a classmate who walked into the library.

Even if it is only a slight difference, the careful boy can tell the difference between Ogata Yui and the past.

Her eyes began to actively pursue interesting things, and occasionally she would be preoccupied with something, and she seemed to have added a lot of doubts and troubles... Whether such a change was good or bad, he couldn't calculate for a while.

Perhaps, this is the answer that only Yui Ogata can come up with.

The last bell on campus echoed in the dusk.

Liu Lian Er locked the indoor doors and windows, and when he reached the gate, Ogata Yui was still sitting on the chair in a daze.This is the first time this has happened to a girl who has always been serious about things.He stepped forward and knocked on the table.

Ogata Yui seemed to be awakened suddenly, looked up subconsciously at the sky and the bookshelves that had been tidied up, and was taken aback for a moment, "...Sorry, I don't seem to be able to help."

"There was nothing going on today."

"I shouldn't have done this," she said with a sigh after arranging the messy books on the table. "It's my fault."

"Everyone makes mistakes."

"...Really?" She was silent for a while, "Is it the same for others?"

Long-term observation enabled him to catch the abnormality in this question almost immediately. Liu Lianer glanced at her, and the girl seemed to be in some kind of deep thought, with a dazed look on her face.

Liu Lian-er looked away.

He shouldn't be involved, it's something beyond observation.

"It's closing time."

The voice next to her ear couldn't be heard clearly, but someone's question came vaguely in her mind. He asked her why she was alone.

Ogata Yui shook his head, pushing the wild thoughts out of his mind.

"go home."

She replied pretending nothing had happened, stood up after clearing the table, bumped into the cardboard box full of books next to the chair in a daze, and the moment before she accidentally fell to the ground, it was Liu Lian'er who supported her.The strength of the boy's grip on her wrist was slightly released after the girl stood firm, and after a moment, the temperature of the palm covered her again.

"You've been down these days... what happened?"

The boy's usual flat tone seemed to be mixed with a more serious meaning, which was a concern that could not be concealed even after restraint.

"No……"

Ogata Yui stared intently at the boy's slender knuckles on his wrist, and many messy thoughts flashed through his mind.

"If you can't come to a conclusion by yourself," Liu Lian'er seemed to see through her hesitation, he suggested, "maybe you can discuss it with others."

Ogata Yui raised her head, she overcame the euphemism in her words.

"Lian Er, do you want to know?"

"...Maybe I don't have an answer." As if to make the next answer more solemn, Liu Lian'er slowly raised his eyes, with many complicated emotions flashing in his eyes, and he said, "Yes, but I think Know."

The setting sun was setting, and the deserted library was silent, and even the sound of the wind was blocked from the windows.

Ogata Yui blinked his eyes, as if he couldn't understand his solemnity.

"But... just some very strange things."

"For example?"

"You may find it funny when I say it."

"Will not."

While speaking, Liu Lian Er had already locked the door of the library, and walked out side by side with her.

The light of dusk pulled the shadow of the promenade, and someone spoke softly.

"Actually, I've been thinking recently... what am I like?"

Yui Ogata can be a violinist in an orchestra, a member of a drama club, or a senior who helps with tutoring... Every scene in my memory is about "Yui Ogata", but apart from those settings, the real What does she look like?

Yukimura Seichi said that she is alone, but she feels more and more that there is no such vague person in the world.

Yui Ogata is more like a character with incomplete settings.

She smiled, then turned to ask, "Isn't it weird? I don't know myself at all."

"..."

Liu Lian Er stopped in her tracks.

The young man's eyes fell on her quietly, and after a while, under her suddenly wide open eyes showing surprise, he asked calmly:

"So, do you want to see my notebook?"

The subtle sound of turning pages sounded as the breeze passed by.

Ogata Wei took the book that Liu Lian Er had been holding in his hand all the time, her expression was still a little dazed, when her eyes fell on the neat handwriting, a corner of her heart seemed to be bumped suddenly, she shuddered slightly. numb.

The young man casually asked "Do you want to see my notebook", and the record displayed on it was Yui Ogata in his eyes.

Those detailed things that even she didn't care about, all express——

"I'm the one who stared at you seriously."

A complex and overwhelmed feeling suddenly surged deep in her heart, but from the beginning to the end, Liu Lian clearly only said one sentence.

Ogata Yui bit her lip, trying to divert her attention, she read out the contents of the notebook:

"Do I like strawberry milk?"

"You're more likely to choose strawberry than any other flavor."

"How do you know that I appreciate Mr. Ando, ​​who teaches Chinese in the second grade?"

"Completion of homework."

"I don't have any friends to talk to about my troubles... Is that so?"

He paused, "You didn't worry about it before."

"That's right." She nodded approvingly, "but I'm telling you about my troubles now—so you are my first friend of this type."

"..."

"And..." There was a trace of pure curiosity in her brows and eyes, "Am I really so popular?"

"In my data, yes."

"I didn't notice it at all."

"I know."

"what?"

Those feelings that cannot be resolved for her, like super-class math problems, are incomprehensible formulas and numbers, not someone's beating heart in a panic.Liu Lian-er always knew about it.

He didn't answer.

The girl continued to flip through the contents of her notes, "Is the one marked with an asterisk abnormal data?"

"kindness."

"What happened today?" Ogata Yui glanced at the date, it was the last Friday of November, and the events recorded above couldn't be seen to have anything to do with her, "...the seeds germinated? This is you plant observation?"

"right."

"Is that so..."

I don't know why, but after returning the notebook, Yui Ogata kept focusing on the plant observation records he saw in the corner.It was Liu Lian'er's record since the first year of junior high school. It seemed to be written on the edge of the paper, but it happened to be placed on the same paper as her data.

But would Liu Lian Er do such casual things?

She recalled what happened in November in her mind. At that time, Lian Er had just returned from the seminar, and the plants in the reading room had already bloomed. Why did he say "sprouting"?Did something unusual happen that day?

In the blink of an eye, fragmented images burst into my mind.

She has had two Novembers.

Unlike the last week, Yui Ogata noticed the blooming thistle chrysanthemum for the second time, and took care of it for a while. On Friday afternoon, when they chatted in the library, they also mentioned this plant.

——This is what Liu Lian-er finds unusual.

Ogata Yui raised his head in astonishment.

The light of the day has not yet dissipated, and the sea surface is sparkling with fine waves. The thin figure of the young man walks ahead alone, looking a little lonely.

Indescribable emotions surged up in my heart instantly, Ogata opened his mouth, wanted to stop Liu Lian'er, but didn't know what to say - he was sensitive and meticulous enough to get close to the truth, but restrained everything to the point of almost The degree of silence.

And what was hidden by him was curiosity, concern, concern, vigilance...or "like"?

Ogata Yui was in a daze for a while, and followed his footsteps.

The surrounding area is a bit quiet, the sound of the sea breeze and waves disappearing at the corner of the street. They have been walking together since the Friday of the first year of junior high school, and they are very used to it, but Yui Ogata suddenly thought of someone she has known since then, but she has never cared about it. , and never noticed the problem.

"Lian Er."

"Ok?"

"The direction we're going home," she asked slowly in the twilight, "is it on the way?"

"..."

There was a trace of surprise in Liu Lian'er's brows and eyes. The always frank boy did not answer this question immediately, but already explained the answer.

Ogata Yui seemed to be hit by something suddenly, and his slender figure trembled slightly in the night wind.

Even though many people have said "like" to her, she still can't capture this feeling, and at this moment, in the boy's speechless silence, the answer seems unavoidable:

"you like me."

Her expression was blurred in the twilight.

"..."

Just as Liu Lianer was about to speak, she heard her speak again.

"But there are a lot of asterisks marked in your notebook," she met his gaze, "You obviously found anomalies...so many anomalies...why?"

"It's two different things."

"Do not."

At the end of the street is a sloping staircase, and there is the sound of a train passing in the distance.

She stepped down the steps first.

"It's the same thing."

Liulian repeated calmly, "To me, these are two different things."

"Is it……"

The stairs in front of her eyes seemed to be extremely long, Yui Ogata turned her head, she thought for a while, "Then you want to know what it looks like from my point of view?"

"..."

"If it's Lian Er, it should be possible."

Before Liu Lianer could answer, the notification that the train was about to enter the station sounded not far away, and the mechanical warning bell pierced through the last twilight of dusk.

The girl's figure caught the moment when the wind galloped by, and passed by in front of her eyes.

When she was running, her skirt was like a light butterfly, and she ran down the steps in an instant and stepped into the track.

Vision becomes clear and blurred.

The cherry blossoms rolled up in the sky, the roaring train, the warning bell, and the pure white clothes corners lifted by the wind. In an instant, the movements of these chaotic scenes became very quiet.

Like an illusion, time seems to have stopped before your eyes.

Ogata Yui looked back at him in the wind, his hair fell messily on the side of his face.

She saw the young man still standing there with his eyes open, but through the twilight and the wind, she couldn't see clearly the surging emotion in Liu Lian's eyes.In just a few seconds of breathing, the train appeared in sight, and she didn't actually have any extra thoughts to do such a ridiculous thing at this moment.

She just remembered the day when Liu Lianer returned to Lihai after finishing the training session.

The sky was gloomy, and the boy approached with an umbrella, but the rain had not yet fallen.

Liu Lian Er is the kind of person who will open an umbrella before it rains.

The train approaches.

bang, bang bang—

The time that was stretched to the limit and then shrunk back at an incredible speed. In the silent space, whose heartbeat was the first sound that sounded.

When she realized it, she was tightly held in the arms of the boy.

Not far away, the movement of the train came again. It stopped at the station and then drove out again. The long stairs became very silent.

A breeze swirls pink petals around.

Ogata Wei blinked and struggled a little, but Liu Lian Er, who was always gentle, did not obey her wishes, and she heard a violent heart beating sound in the contact with almost no gaps.

"The car has already left..."

"Ah."

"I didn't mean to scare you."

The strong, beating movement of the heart trembled on the eardrum, and Ogata Yui felt the pain from nowhere.She explained, "Because I know what you're going to do, the last time the bookshelf fell over, you did the same—"

Stop it before it happens.

——And only Liu Lian Er can accurately go back in time to the previous moment, and he is the only one who can detect abnormalities in this extreme situation.

"Do not do this."

Liu Lian Er interrupted her, with the same flat voice, if it wasn't for the overheated embrace and violent heartbeat, she would almost have thought that he was actually very calm.

When such a strange thing happened, Ogata Yui expected that he would analyze the antecedent first, or write it down in his notebook.

But Liu Lian Er just tightened her arms silently, as if she would disappear in a second.

"……Do not do this."

"But--"

The afterglow of day finally dissipated in the sky, and twilight poured in from all directions.

Ogata Yui's voice seemed to be deriving the topic with a formula, the purpose was pure and hurtful, she concluded clearly and word by word:

"Lian Er's 'like', to me, is what it is all about."

Time travel that is closely related to his will.

Can't escape, can't escape.

For Yui Ogata, the boy's mind is just such an existence.

The author has something to say: Lian Er, danger.

No, I have to come back and code words, otherwise how would I finish it and why would there be a long comment (wait, the purpose is not pure at first)... But the game is really fun, woohoo, some people fall in love, some people watch the sea, and some people are shut down for dungeon land reclamation 3 God knows no repentance.

Who would have thought that there would be a brainless fan who brought me a philanthropist to write a fan, woo, guide and comment on Ou Lian'er's "Train to the Clouds", and a philosophical Liucun brother's "Catching the Wind in the Wild", look!It's food!
