[Net King] Winter Snow

When Yuriko Uemura received a call from Hiroshi Yagyu, the bells had just stopped ringing on New Year's Eve.The girl who yawned several times rubbed her sleepy eyes, pulled herself together and pressed the answer button.

"What's wrong, Hiroshi?" Holding her chin with one hand, Yuriko Uemura tried her best not to fall asleep.

"Tennis club No. [-] is going to the shrine to welcome the newcomers, do you want to come together?" Yagyubi Lu Shi's voice on the other side of the phone was calm and calm.

"Ha, are you kidding me?" The girl who heard the words yelled exaggeratedly, and the original drowsiness was chased away. "Why did the welcome of the tennis club ask me to go with them? I don't know them well."

"You complained to me before that no one would accompany you to the shrine to pray for blessings." Pushing his glasses, the boy recalled what Yuriko Uemura had complained to him in a text message a few days ago.

"That's what I said..." Scratching her cheek, the girl's eyes drifted, "But I know you, Liu, and Sanada-kun from the tennis club, won't it be embarrassing?"

"Takeuchi-san should be there too," Yagyu Hiroshi said, then paused, "Probably."

"It's just a rough idea!!!" Loud to the other side of the phone, Yuriko Uemura stroked her forehead, then lay down on the coffee table, drawing circles with her index finger, "Well, let me think about it, I should come."

After hanging up the phone just like that, the girl looked at the days that were not specially marked on the calendar, tilted her head, and finally drew a circle on the second day.Uemura Yuriko felt that in a sense, she was indeed a person who couldn't stand loneliness.If you don't have anyone to accompany you, you can't go on, and you need a friend to talk to her at any time.I don't want to be alone, and I don't want to be left behind, so I always smile desperately to make friends with others, so that people will remember and need them.

Invincible timidity.

Patting herself on the cheek hard, Yuriko Uemura forced herself not to think about these things.A lot of things are fixed now, so no matter how much you think about it, it won't help. It's better to work hard from now on, so that you can relax yourself in the future.

On the morning of the praying day, Yuriko Uemura was still fully awake when she heard the voice of her mother looking for something.The other party seemed to be moving a dust-covered cardboard box. The cardboard box that was pressed at the bottom of the closet was dragged out, and Ami Uemura seemed to take something out of it.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Rubbing her eyes, Yuriko Uemura sat up and yawned.

"Tian Ichiro made you a set of furisode before, I want to find it out." Ami Uemura smiled with some nostalgia, as if recalling some things in the past.

"Da Furisu?" Eyes widened, Yuriko Uemura looked unbelievable, "Haven't they been blocked before?"

"That suit was being made at that time, so it is the only one that survived." Saying this, Uemura Ami's eyes darkened, "Tian Ichiro originally wanted to save it for you to wear for your coming-of-age ceremony."

"..." Yuriko Uemura didn't know what to say when she looked at the big furisodes that her mother had managed to find, the well-preserved unlined clothes and girdle.At first glance, it looked like extremely expensive clothes. She used to change a set almost every year. At that time, she was young and ignorant, and she never thought that what she was wearing was the blood and sweat of many people.

"Aren't you going to pray with your classmates today? Come on, try it on." Uemura Ami said so, showing a gentle smile.

"It doesn't matter if you don't need to dress so well." She turned her head away awkwardly, Yuriko Uemura felt that once she knew the truth of the matter, she would not be able to put on this sky-high furisode with peace of mind.

"It's the only thing Tian Yilang left for you now, put it on." Saying this, Uemura Ami's voice became helpless and lamented unconsciously.

Biting her lower lip, Yuriko Uemura wanted to refute that who knows if the money for making this set of furisodes is clean, but she finally endured it.She knew that her mother did not say anything wrong, and her mother should not bear such angry and hurtful words.What she can't accept is that the father who used to smile so kindly, the hands holding her in circles are covered with stains that cannot be washed off.

With the help of her mother, she put on a dark purple furisode, and the dark pattern of the stamens outlined a beautiful pattern on the fabric. Yuriko Uemura couldn't help but cast down her eyes when she saw the intricate patterns and golden embroidered edges.The twin ponytails that had always been in the past were loosened, the slightly long black hair was coiled up in flower buds, and the gold-plated hairpin was small and delicate, and it looked cute with every step.

Looking at her incomparably luxurious attire, Yuriko Uemura took a deep breath, and finally forced a smile, and said cheerfully to Ami Uemura, "I'm going out."

"I never knew you had such a body." Looking at the girl who arrived on time, Hiroshi Yagyu pushed his glasses and said.

"I didn't know before today." Glancing at the other party's kimono, Yagyu Hiroshi's plain fabric didn't feel awkward.

Sensitively hearing the other party's self-mockery about the past, Yagyu frowned and was about to say something to Uemura Yuriko when he saw Liu Renji walking over with Takeuchi Kiyomi.He had heard of that light brown-haired girl more or less, and her indifferent and prickly personality made people feel that she was not easy to get close to, but Yuriko Uemura always liked to stick with each other with a smile.

"Yuriko." It wasn't until he walked in front of the two that Takeuchi Kiyomi nodded slightly and greeted Uemura Yuriko.

Different from the usual cheerful and lively, Yuriko Uemura smiled softly at Kiyomi Takeuchi, then quietly walked beside the girl without making a sound.The stairs from the bottom of the mountain to the shrine are quite a distance away. I don't know if he noticed Yuriko Uemura's abnormality.Looking at his lover with some worry, the brown-haired boy probably also noticed that Yuriko Uemura today is different from the past, so he reached the top of the mountain with Hiroshi Yagyu first.

Seeing the two boys who had disappeared from her field of vision, Yuriko Uemura pulled back the broken hair at her temples.She knows that there are some things that should not be told to Kiyomi Takeuchi. After all, the other party is also full of negative attitude towards the world like her, but sometimes she just can't help but want to talk to someone, hoping that the other party can listen to her words.

Of course Yuriko Uemura knew that Takeuchi Kiyomi was not the right candidate. If she told the other party about her unbearable past, she might not only get no comfort, but she might even be harshly questioned by Takeuchi Kiyomi.But she thinks that what she needs now may be those needle-like rhetorical questions, not the comfort that follows her heart.

"I don't know if it's clean or unclean to make money with such a big sleeve." After confessing to Takeuchi Kiyomi that her father is Ichiro Uemura, Yuriko Uemura laughed at herself.

"So you can only be limited to this for the rest of your life." I don't know if it's displeased with the girl's negative self-deprecating thoughts or what, Takeuchi Kiyomi frowned, with some hatred in his tone, "Yurizi , escaping can't solve anything, you said this sentence to me, so why can't you do it yourself?"

Yes, why can't it be done?

Maybe it's because people are well-informed when they are counselors to others, but they become timid when the problem falls on themselves.

The girl raised her head and was about to say something when she saw Yanagi Renji and Sanada Genichiro on the stairs not far in front of them.It seemed that they were mistaken for being lost because they walked too slowly. Yanagi Renji led Takeuchi Kiyomi and walked ahead quickly, leaving only Uemura Yuriko and Sanada Genichiro standing on the stairs and looking at each other. .

She knew that this boy had probably heard what Kiyomi Takeuchi said to her, and Sanada Genichiro probably knew better than she what she was avoiding.

"Happy New Year, Sanada-kun." Putting on a smile full of energy, Yuriko Uemura tried to cover up all the previous emotions with a smile.

See, until now she's still on the run.
