"It's still snowing as expected."

The next day, Kanbaru opened the window when he woke up in the morning. The cold air suddenly penetrated into the house along the cracks and swept in. This made him shiver all over and he quickly closed the window.

Is it already this cold in November this year? He couldn't help but think to himself, looking around, his grandma's house looked very dark, as if there was an invisible shadow shrouding it.

The wind outside the window made the old windows creak, giving people a feeling of loneliness.

After getting up and putting on warm winter clothes, Kagura Le went downstairs to prepare a cup of hot water to drink.

When passing by his sister's room, he pushed aside the barrier and took a look inside.

On a bed with a white quilt, Kanbaru Suzu was still asleep. She wrapped her body tightly in the quilt, like a silkworm chrysalis, as if she wanted to lock herself firmly in the quilt.

"That means I won’t kick the quilt off in winter."

Close the shoji with a hiss.

Stepping on the stairs that made strange wooden wooden noises, Kanbaru went down to the first floor.

The corridor leading to the living room and kitchen requires passing by the entrance hall. Kanbaru accidentally glanced over there and suddenly found that the entrance door was ajar.

Why is the door open?

If you look slightly to the left, you will find a half-girl figure standing outside.

He thought to himself, it should be Qimingyue.

Kambara zipped up her cotton-padded jacket, put on outdoor shoes, opened the half-open door and walked out.

The glare of the day almost made it impossible for Kagura Raku to open his eyes for a moment, and the cold air kept creeping into his body from his collar like crazy, causing the remaining warmth in the bed to suddenly extinguish after getting up.

Kambaraku shivered again and looked forward again.

I saw the girl standing quietly in the snowy sky, looking at the distant fields and the snow-covered mountain ridges in the distance...

Kanbaru didn't know what she was doing, but she could only see that her long flaxen hair was stained with many tiny white snow spots, as if she had been standing for a long time.

The wind and snow that can obscure the lake's sight also seem to make her figure become ethereal...

Kanbaru held the snow on his head and approached her.

"Qi Mingyue, you're going to catch a cold standing here."

"...I know." She replied.

"Then why are you still here?"

Qimingyue Tianhai looked up at the swirling white snow: "Because I have never seen such heavy snow, and the sky was covered with snow."

"So, you came out to see the snow?"

"Hmm. Do you want to know what I was thinking just now?"

"I don't want to."

Tianhai Qimingyue ignored his refusal and said to herself: "I was thinking that on such a cold day, if an unpopular person was buried in the snow like this, few people would be sad for her.

Right."

......

"What are you referring to?" Kanhara heard something was wrong and asked quickly.

Tianhai Qimingyue returned her gaze and stared at Kambara's expression for a long time.

"Are you... anxious? Do you think I will do something stupid?"

"...I think Qi Mingyue, you are indeed the kind of person who will say nothing and then disappear silently."

"It seems that you are still worried about my absence."

"What did you say just now?" Kanbaru asked worriedly.

"You want to ask me if I have that kind of thought?"

"Yes."

"I can only answer that I have." Tianhai Qimingyue brushed the snow off her body and said, "Okay, are you ready to go on a date with me today?"

"Not just watching a movie?"

"Do you believe it? Does sister believe it?"

"You believe it, you believe it, I believe it, I believe it."

Tianhai Qimingyue crossed her arms and had no intention of arguing with him.

Kagawa Raku sighed, "Then you should go back to the house first, so as not to catch a cold later. We will go back when the snow subsides."

Tianhai Qimingyue did not refuse, but when walking back to the house, she suddenly asked Kaname Yuara: "Are you still looking forward to staying with me?"

"...To say that there is none at all, then I'm just lying to myself."

There seemed to be an unnoticeable smile on Tianhai Qimingyue's lips. She closed her eyes and walked towards the entrance: "You are now one step closer to being a scumbag."

"Even so, you have to understand that it is impossible for me to leave Jiuliuli now... If I do anything that I feel sorry for Jiuliuli again, I'm afraid she will behave in that extreme way."

"Afraid that my sister will commit suicide?"

"I'm afraid she'll stab me with a knife, and you too."

The seven bright moons in the sky and the sea smile after a long time.

.......

Naturally, Kanbaru Raku wanted to talk to Kanbaru Suzu about going out.

She rarely leaves the bedroom in winter and likes to lie on her bed and play game consoles.

"What? Are you going to the city today?"

"Hmm."

"Going to see grandma?

"That's right..." Kanbaru Raku wasn't lying. He had gone to the city, and he definitely wanted to see his grandma before coming back.

Kanbaru Suzu crawled under the quilt with her head on the quilt. When she heard that he was leaving, she put down the game console.

She also lowered her voice and lowered her eyes.

"I feel like I haven't been able to see you much lately..."

Kanbaru leaned back with his right hand, sat on the tatami and smiled at her: "Do you miss my brother?"

"I wanted to...can you stay and play games with me?" Kanbaru Suzu took out the game console from the heated bed and looked at him with her purple eyes.

"Your brother is not a superman, so he can't be separated."

Kanbaru Suzu was disgusted with her face: "Then you used to brag in front of me that you could do anything!"

"Isn't that just to make you feel at ease?"

Kanbaru Suzu-chan buried her face into the pillow, like a ball of anger, "Then let's go."

"Let me go?"

"I have nothing to do with you. I'm just your sister. Even if you fall in love with someone else, it has nothing to do with me."

"Why do you say this so angry?"

"This is a fact!"

With her face buried, Kanbaru Suzu kicked her feet up and down under the quilt.

Probably because her head was stuffy for a long time and she couldn't breathe, she suddenly raised her head and said again with messy hair:

"But as we agreed before, my birthday is coming soon."

"I know, I know, I know what you mean."

Kanbaru Suzu put her face sideways on the pillow: "I don't have to ask for a gift. It would be great if you could say happy birthday to me and come to the company to pick me up on a rainy day like before... I didn't do that before.

People remember my birthday... Mom is busy... but you are the only one who remembers to say happy birthday to me."

Happy birthday...

Kanbaru inexplicably thought of the completely different Qimingyue from before.

Everyone seems to feel very strongly about this sentence.

"Oh, Ah Ling, let me say what if...if I hate you, 100%, what would you do?"

"Really 100%?"

"It's 100% annoying. Of course, I'm talking about what if."

Kanbaru Suzu pouted and thought for a while, drawing circles on the tatami with her fingers: "If you really hate me, then I...I won't pay attention to you...I'll just ignore you if you don't see me. Who cares...a little bit?"

It’s not surprising..."

She whispered like this, her voice getting slower and slower, and then, Kambara noticed that there was suddenly some crystal water in the corner of her eyes. Before he could see it clearly, Kambara suddenly plunged her head into it.

In the pillow.
