first commandment

When school is over, the afterglow of the setting sun fills the classroom.Flora, who was sitting by the window, was sorting out the textbooks, and subconsciously turned her head to look out the window.

"Your neighbor brother is here again?"

The girl at the same table was teasing her.

She quickly looked away, nodded absently, her mind was full of the figure pushing the bicycle at the school gate.

The neighbor's elder brother is named Slein, who is three years older than her, and the two of them grew up together.The friendship between the two families has always been good. This month, the two older sisters in Flora's family went on a graduation trip, and the adults were not at home.It happened that the same situation happened next door, so I simply asked him to stay at home for a month to help take care of Flora who was in high school at home.

Although she didn't say anything, it could be seen that she was very satisfied with this arrangement.

If it were the usual time when get out of class was over, Flora would always pack her things slowly before going home.But in the past few weeks, she has changed her normal routine, packed her things in advance, and then hurriedly urged her deskmate to get out of the way as soon as the get out of class bell rang, and rushed to the school gate with her schoolbag.

But something is not quite right today... He is neither calm nor excited, but rather worried, hesitant and a bit unwilling to see him.

"……What happened to you?"

Her deskmate couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing...I'm going back, see you tomorrow."

The blond girl walked to the door of the classroom with a slow pace, waving her hands without looking back.Then the slender figure turned around, walked into the shadow of the corridor from the burning colors of the setting sun, and disappeared at the door.

A few boys passing by watched her figure pass by, whispering and not knowing what they were talking about.Her deskmate was no stranger to the behavior of the boys, and was not at all curious about what they were talking about.She just lowered her head in a strange way and muttered:

"...Isn't tomorrow Saturday?"

Flora, who was in a trance, still remembered that the next day was Saturday.She lowered her head to face the scorching sunset, the redness on her face could not be sure whether she was sunburned or ashamed.Slowly moving to the school gate as if she was rubbing her toes, without raising her face, she greeted the silver bicycle that Slein was pushing:

"... Hello, let's go."

A puzzled look floated on the face of Slain who greeted her with a smile.

……Um?What's going on today?

Flora's unexpected reaction baffled him.Obviously, she ran all the way to him in the past few days, and only barely stopped the brakes when she was about to jump on him.For a moment, he even doubted whether she was talking to the bicycle or to himself.

He didn't leave, and she didn't speak.The two stood across the bicycle, and the scene was a little awkward.He noticed that her face was very red and her eyes were a little distracted, so he couldn't help asking worriedly:

"Aren't you feeling well? Have you got heat stroke again?"

It's okay not to ask, but when Flora asked, she remembered what happened yesterday, and immediately wished she could dig a hole and bury herself.She subconsciously shrank her body into a defensive posture, then turned her head sharply, and quickly ran away from him.

"Eh, eh?...Flora? What's the matter?"

However, the little girl quickly opened a distance, and the taller man caught up with him after taking a few steps.Flora didn't speak, and Slein followed silently, saying nothing more.Seeing her so angry, he couldn't help but start to reflect on what he did wrong, but he didn't realize that she was actually angry with him.

It is not without reason that things have become like this.It all stems from the long-distance running test in yesterday's physical education class.

Flora has always been confident in her health, so even though she was on the third day of her menstrual period, she still gritted her teeth and took the test.After all, make-up exams are too troublesome, and the final exam is approaching, so she really doesn't want to spend extra energy on other things.But things didn't go as planned, the run was over, and the grades were passable, but she almost fainted to the ground just after the finish line, and was dragged away by her deskmate with sharp eyes and quick hands.

This accident caused quite a stir. She was surrounded by classmates and sent to the school gate, and returned home in the car of the head teacher, but was carried upstairs by Slein.

... What about the part about the princess hugging the bridge?

She complained silently in her heart, but she still expressed her sincere gratitude.

"Thank you. I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy, just wait for me to go down and drink some water."

But before she went down, he brought up a glass of ice water, handed it to her firmly and told her to drink it quickly, his eyes full of seriousness and worry.

After taking the cup, Flora felt a chill creeping into her palm, and her stomach hurt even more.

It's better to tell a lie that I have a stomachache and want to drink hot water, but Slein poured out the ice water without saying a word and brought a glass of warm water.Flora felt very sorry for bothering him to run up and down twice for a glass of water, but he said that since he was entrusted, he must take good care of her.Flora crouched under the quilt and rubbed her stomach. Hearing these words, she felt mixed feelings in her heart. She couldn't tell if she was touched or lost.

This feeling is very angry.She has liked him for a long time, so long that she can't remember when it started.When she is not feeling well, she has someone she likes to take care of her. She should be satisfied with the God of Destiny's favor for her.But a kind of faint expectation rides on this soft wind of happiness and burns higher and higher, so she becomes greedy, not only wants to enjoy his tenderness, but also wants to know the reason for his tenderness to her.

Pulled by self-doubt, she fell into a deep sleep.

Waking up the next day, this morning, she felt a little clearer.Recalling the ideological struggle before going to bed yesterday, she only felt that she was hypocritical to death, and she couldn't help wondering if it was because of her emotional instability during her menstrual period, and those little girls' thoughts about love and love were put on hold for the time being.

That's how things should have ended.When she went downstairs to have breakfast, she had already adjusted her state and entered the usual calm mode, but when she saw the underwear blowing in the wind outside the balcony...

It felt like an instant explosion.

At this time, Flora, who was walking on the seaside sidewalk, was torturing herself repeatedly with this unbearable memory.

The first feeling that hits me is remorse: "Why was I so lazy yesterday, I put aside my dirty clothes and went to sleep."

Then there's the shame: because underwear and panties don't come together.

Then it was even more embarrassing: because she actually cared that her underwear and panties were not the same.

Then there is resentment: Doesn't he feel embarrassed!

But this resentment suddenly made her realize something, and finally she came to a very disappointing conclusion:

He didn't feel embarrassed because he didn't treat me as the opposite sex at all.In his eyes, I was just a child who needed someone to take care of me.

And this conclusion is the cause of Flora's abnormal behavior.

After all, in her opinion, Slein's behavior was no different from rejecting her.

Thinking of this, Flora sighed again, showing that she seemed to be calm, but her heart was suppressed and she didn't know the waves.

At this moment, the silver bicycle that she had been staring at from the corner of her eye stopped, she turned her head subconsciously, and saw Slein's side face shrouded in the setting sun.The colorful light reflected in his eyes was an indescribable color.During the day, those eyes are pure blue-green, but if you look closely, you will find that there is more than one color in it, but blue and green interlaced from light to dark, and there is a little imperceptible color mixed in when the green reaches the extreme. yellow.It was probably the clear lake water next to the golden ginkgo tree. She looked at the water, her reflection floating in the three colors of yellow, green and blue, like a transparent watercolor painting.

But at this moment, there was no sign of her in these eyes, and the edges of them were coated with a layer of gold by the brilliant sunlight, making them appear particularly crystal clear.As for his facial features, she never thought of judging whether he was good-looking or not. To her, that was not important, because she just wanted to simply keep his face in her mind.

Having said that, how do you judge whether a person is good-looking or not?Double eyelids?Deep eye sockets?High nose bridge?Thin lips?The more she thought about it, the more flustered she became, but she stared at his side face like an addiction again, pondering over every detail.Although he has single eyelids, every line of his eyes is clean and neat, as if drawn by a well-thought-out painter. The ends of his eyes are slightly raised but there is no sharp feeling, probably because his eyes are very soft.

The bridge of the nose... that's it, the lips are neither thin nor thick... Anyway, they look good.She suddenly realized that she probably liked his eyes the most, but she might also be too shy to think about anything else.

Looking at it, she suddenly felt that the person she had known for more than ten years became a little strange, as if she had never seen him before.

Just thinking about it, Slein suddenly turned his head slightly to look at her.The moment their eyes met, Flora averted her eyes guiltily like a thief, and clenched her hand holding the strap of her schoolbag tightly.

...But it was obviously her who was stolen.

The afterglow of the setting sun is working hard to release the last bit of heat, making the side of her body facing the sun warm.For some reason, she suddenly had the urge to confess all her crimes.

At last she spoke timidly:

"that……"

"Ok?"

Slein responded quietly, suddenly having a premonition in his heart.

The girl in front of her lowered her head, unable to see her eyes.The short golden satin-like hair hangs down on the face, and the tips of the red ears are faintly visible in the hair.

Everything about her is delicate, and every detail is worthy of scrutiny and praise.A clean white shirt, wearing a bottoming suspender inside, and the flesh-colored shoulders.The knee-length dark green plaid pleated skirt, as well as white socks, even the gold embroidery on the cuffs are lovely.The school uniform she was wearing was just the simplest style, not even improved like other girls, but in his opinion, everything was just right and the best.

What is she going to say now?He couldn't help being curious, but he didn't want to hear it.

Like now, he kind of wished she could keep her head down so he could take a closer look at her, and partly wished she could raise her head so he could look into her eyes.

As the one who broke the silence, Flora had the right and duty to bring up the topic.But after thinking about it for a long time, she didn't know how to organize the language, and finally she could only use a negative tone to test:

"Do you hate me?"

But the moment she asked, she felt that this question was so stupid that it was outrageous.After all, he knew everything with his toes, and no one would take care of annoying people so thoughtfully as he did.

Thinking of this, she suddenly gained courage, and raised her head to meet his gaze.

"No." Slein's answer was of course negative, and his tone was a little eager.

His haste gave Flora another courage, so she simply broke the casserole and asked the bottom line.

"Then what do you think of me?" She asked with a blushing face, but her expression seemed to be interrogating the prisoner, "Do you treat me like a child?"

Slein suddenly averted his eyes, and left her with a side face.Her heart sank a little.

"No...how could you think so."

He faltered and said, covering his mouth with his hands, really looking like a thief.In a hurry, she said loudly:

"...Then why did you wash my underwear and panties! If you treat me as a woman, how dare you wash it!"

This sentence was almost shouted out, and Flora felt embarrassed when she was forced to do so.She watched the expression on Slein's face intently, and at the same time felt that her face was burning, and her heart seemed to rush out of her chest, driving her whole body to rush.

Just when Flora was so nervous that she was about to suffocate, Slein, who was covering her mouth, suddenly let out a "puchi" laugh.

……

... What are you laughing at!

Frustrated, Flora felt her head explode again, and she decided to kick him hard.

But before she could take any action in the future, suddenly...

He moved his hand away from his smile and took a step towards her.

The bicycle fell to the ground, and the bell rang.

He kissed her.

The wheels of the bicycle turned and turned, and the shadow reflected on the crimson ground also turned and turned.

……

She was stunned.

He smiled embarrassingly, and explained:

"I just washed the clothes, I didn't expect you to think so much..."

Now he doesn't need to explain anything, she understands everything.

It turns out that a small action can really explain everything.She blinked her eyes.Like popping a bulging balloon, all her doubts disappeared in an instant.

It just... still feels a little unreal.

She stared blankly at him and asked:

"Did you just... kiss me?"

"Yes." He replied very naturally.

"It's too fast, I didn't feel it," she said, putting her hand on his shoulder with a serious face, "Kiss again."

Mingming didn't blush when he took the initiative to kiss her, but for some reason, Slein blushed when she touched her instead.

"Can't you?" Flora also became nervous and asked, "Just for a moment, let me confirm."

He didn't answer if it was okay, but just slowly bent down.

The two looked directly into each other's eyes.As he got closer and closer, Flora felt her heart beating more violently.

She clenched her hands into fists in front of her chest and closed her eyes, but even so she could still feel his breath, enveloping her like a cool rain on the hot seashore at sunset.

The atmosphere was just right, she could even feel his eyelashes touching her cheek, and it only took half a second to touch her lips.But suddenly:

"Beep --------!!!!!!"

A car whistling by speeds by, and the wind blows up Flora's skirt.

Both of them were startled, and they took a step back at the same time, keeping a little distance from each other.

Flora blushed and straightened her hair. Slein coughed lightly, and bent over to help the bicycle that fell on the ground.

Then the two of them moved forward tacitly as if nothing had happened.

Next to the seaside driveway in the sunset, two reflections, one high and one low, are stretched very long.

The waves in the distance are curling, and the water light is as soft as a girl's blond hair shining. The hillsides on both sides are lush with green trees, and the silhouette in the shade is like a black butterfly wing.

Subtle touches arise spontaneously.

The girl walking on the right side of the car suddenly moved.Slowing down a little, she walked around the rear of the car and walked to the side of the boy.

Then she stretched out her slender hand and touched his palm lightly.He remained silent, with a smile on his face, and took her hand.The movements are also gentle, as if dealing with a work of art that will be damaged with a little force.

Delicate fingers that seemed to be boneless passed around his fingers, and the two were connected with each other, and the body temperature of the other was transmitted.

Flora shook the tightly held hands of the two, confirming this feeling.

She smiled, like a child who succeeded in a prank, timid and extremely proud.

BGM: Love Me Like You Do--Ellie Goulding

The synopsis comes from the lyrics.

You're the light, you're the night

you are brilliant light you are silent darkness

You're the color of my blood

You are the color that flows in my blood

You're the cure, you're the pain

You are the cure, you are the pain

You're the only thing I wanna touch

You are the only one I long to touch
