red flame and light

Ever since he visited Hitachi-in's house once, Akabane told the old man that he and the two brothers in Hitachi-in's house were the type who didn't like each other.

Although Akabane doesn't hate them anymore, she doesn't want to have too deep a relationship with them either.

But the god didn't seem to understand what her prayer was, and Yu Akabane was so depressed that she ran into those two brothers many times during the summer vacation that she should have spent relaxedly and happily.

Whether it's attending a family gathering with grandparents, or going to a temple fair with Ayan, or even going shopping, there is a chance to see those two identical faces on the street.

If Akabane subconsciously avoided it when she first met her, but now she has given up fighting against fate.

The specific performance is that now when I meet two people, I can calmly go forward to say hello.

Because this relationship is so deep that when it reaches the ears of the elders, it is automatically understood as the two children have formed a deep friendship.

Now that there is a "friendship", the contact between the two is naturally indispensable.

On this day, Mr. Yan was idle at home and had nothing to do, so he dragged Akabane to run to Lu Yuan's house.Akabane was extremely unhappy, but compromised under the expectant eyes of the old man.

Let's go, at worst, I won't leave the lounge this time!

But these are impossible.

This time Akabane got off at a different place from Mr. Yan!She was sent directly downstairs to the twins! ! !

What's happening here?Can anyone explain this?Why no one knows what she thinks?Is it really good to send her here wishfully?She was really afraid that she would beat up those two brothers again! ! !

Akabane struggled for a while, but finally did not go upstairs, and started strolling in the garden downstairs.

The garden is very large, with several kinds of flowers planted.Some she knew, some she had never seen before.

She walked deeper and deeper, and when she reached the center point, she saw a fountain. There were four small flower beds around the pool, all of which were planted with roses, and each flower bed was a different color.She took a look and was surprised to find that there were blue roses growing here.

Blue roses do not exist in nature, but scientists can artificially create them, but it is very difficult, and there are a lot of blue roses planted here.The coquettish colors are shining in the sun, and the blooming petals are swaying and dancing in the wind.

Akabane suddenly fell into memory.

This is my mother's favorite flower.There used to be a lot of blue roses planted in the backyard of their house, which was planted by my father day after day to please my mother.At that time, what the family did most often was to sit in the backyard in the afternoon, smelling the fragrance of flowers, enjoying the breeze, eating dessert and drinking afternoon tea.

However, they are gone now.

"Why are you here?" Akabane heard the voice, turned around, and saw a face that he had avoided meeting just now.

Akabane shrugged, "Maybe it's because my grandpa and your grandpa feel that there is sea water between us that can float the boat of friendship."

"So you came with your grandfather again?"

"Yes." Akabane stepped past him to leave.

"You like blue roses very much?" The boy's voice sounded from behind.

Akabane thought about it, and answered, "My mother likes it very much... yes, me too." Because it is a happy time to have witnessed a family.

"Then you must be very...happy." The boy squeezed his head and finally thought of this strange term.

Akabane was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant, and asked instead: "What about you?"

The young man showed a disappointed expression and said: "I have been with Guang since we were born and have never been separated. Because we look the same, no one has ever been able to distinguish us except ourselves. As time goes by, only each other remains in our world. We Just live in our own world."

"I know, they say we're arrogant, but no one understands us. We want someone to be with us, but we're afraid of someone coming into our world...we're just in our own world, and we feel lonely, so Finding fun from the outside world…”

Akabane laughed when he heard this, "You are really a product of contradictions. However, I am not qualified to say anything, because I am too."

"Do you have your own world?" Xin asked.

Akabane thought for a while and said, "I think everyone has it, but the size and color are different."

"color?"

"It's the degree of color. If you want a painting to be bright and bright, then you need a lot of colors to fill your drawing paper. Some people's world is gray and white, while others are wonderful, it all depends on It depends on what kind of world that person wants." Akabane paused, and continued, "You are indeed very good, but you have put shackles on yourself, and the key has always been in your hands, but you are unwilling to use it. That's it."

Xin's eyes flickered, and she said, "What color do you think we should be?"

Akabane glanced at him, did not answer, and continued: "To be honest, I envy you very much. You have parents, even if they can't tell you apart, they won't love you less because they can't tell you apart. Besides, you still have Light, you have never been apart."

"I sometimes ask myself, what do I have? What else do I have besides my good grandparents? I lost my mother when I was very young, and my father became homeless. It's really pitiful to say that I have three years I haven’t seen my father, his appearance and his voice are already very vague to me. Sometimes I am very lucky, fortunately I still have grandparents.”

"I feel lonely just like you. I have no one around me to talk to. I worry that they will feel sorry for me and feel sorry for me. I worry that they will think I am too strong and ignore me. You see, am I also very lonely?" Contradictions? So I chose to escape, I went to France, but I was overwhelmed by a person's life. Fortunately, a person appeared with a paintbrush."

"Friend?" Xin asked.

"Well, yes. Very good friend." Akabane smiled.

"What kind of good friend?" Xin continued to ask.

Akabane froze for a moment, she didn't know that this friend was defined.She thought hard for a while, and said: "It should be the kind of person who can share each other's worries, let each other put down their defenses, and share secrets with each other. They will miss when they don't see each other, and they will be happy when they meet."

"It's so complicated." Xin Ruo nodded, then raised her head and asked her, "Then shall we forget?"

Akabane froze in place.This question should be beyond the outline, right?

"We just shared a secret with each other, right?" Xin said.

Akabane lowered his head and thought for a while, it was indeed like this.

Although the person in front of her was the object she hated in the past, she doesn't hate him now.However, she didn't want to have anything to do with them either, but she was able to accept two people talking about each other's "secrets" together.

This may be the first time in Akabane's life that he is struggling whether to make this friend.

In the end, Akabane chose to compromise.She nodded.

Xin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "So we are considered friends?"

"You? Oh, yes, there is still light." Akabane said lightly, "By the way, why are you acting alone today? Haven't you never been separated?"

"He's here." Xin smiled, "It's just that I was a little prejudiced against you beating him, so I hid."

Akabane smiled.There is no place to hide people around here. If you want to hide, you can only hide behind the plant wall made of vines and branches and leaves next to them.

Seeing that Akabane was staring at the wall, Xin hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled silently.Akabane sneaked around to the back and grabbed Hikari who was trying to eavesdrop.

Then Xin, who was still admiring the blue roses at the fountain, heard a mournful song.

On the way back, Mr. Yan felt that his granddaughter seemed to be in a good mood, so he couldn't help but ask, "Did you play well with the twins from the Changluyuan family?"

Akabane glanced at him and nodded, "It's okay. At least I won't fight."

"Huh? Did you guys still fight before?" The old man couldn't sit still, how could their precious granddaughter be bullied by others? !

Akabane smiled, "Grandpa, they haven't practiced before."

It was only then that Old Man Yan remembered that his granddaughter had practiced martial arts since she was a child, and smiled helplessly.I began to sympathize with the twins of Hitachi's family again.

Time passed quickly, and the summer vacation was coming to an end. Apart from hearing the moans and sighs of grandparents every day, Akabane had to answer Huan's daily inquiries.And they're all abnormal because of the same thing - Akabane is about to start school.

"Xiao Yuyu~ When are you coming back?" Akabane shuddered, she seemed to hear the resentment in Huan's tone?hallucination?

"In two days." Akabane replied.

"But you said the same thing yesterday." Huan shouted into the microphone.

"Really? I may have forgotten how many days there are." Akabane said.

"Why? Why did you forget? Don't you really want to come back? Woohoo~ Xiao Yuyu, you heartless person!" The picture of Huan crying choked up appeared in Akabane's mind, and she sighed in her heart.

Recalling that He Xin said that this guy is her best friend a few days ago, I wonder if this friend can return the product?

Now she thinks that people like Xin Heguang who can be mischievous once in a while and can be beaten up are cuter.

Since he was going back to school soon, Akabane spared a few days to go shopping and buy some special products for Huan who was complaining, as comfort.

When passing by the barber shop, Akabane stood at the door tangled.For more than a month, her hair has grown a lot. She wanted to cut it short, but then thought of promising grandma not to cut it...

In the end, he was tangled and tangled, and was caught by the old lady who came out after shopping for clothes.

"Do you want to cut your hair off again?" the old lady asked resentfully.

"No, no, how is it possible." Akabane replied with evasive eyes.She just thought about it, is she guilty?

The old lady nodded in satisfaction after hearing the answer, and turned around to help Akabane organize the things to bring.

The vacation is coming to an end, and Akabane goes to Hitachi-in's house for the last time.The old lady complained, why do you always go to Hitachi's house, why don't they come?

Akabane smiled.She didn't dare to say that she didn't let them come. She was worried that those two mischievous ghosts were making trouble at home, and if they found out some clues, it would be bad if they found out about her other secret.

The Hitachi brothers knew about Akabane's flight to France, and felt that the start of school was a normal thing, so they didn't feel anything special.I just learned words such as telling me to take care of my body.

Until they realized that Akabane hadn't appeared for a long time, and then turned over the calendar and found that he would not appear for a longer period of time... The two brothers looked at each other for a long, long time.

"It seems to be getting boring again."

"Yes."

"Why did he go so far to study?"

"To escape?"

"Escape from what?"

"I don't know, he said it before. I just wrote it down."

……

The two looked at each other silently.

Alas, it will be a long time for two people to be bored again.
