The sound of swaying leaves is better than the sound of raindrops falling from the eaves into puddles. The sound of students' footsteps slowly stepping on the soil is accompanied by the crisp chirping.
As soon as Toru Kamiki walked out of the auditorium, he saw Miyuki Nakamura leaning on a pillar and smoking leisurely.
"Shenmu, you are quite capable." Miyuki Nakamura said, blowing out a wisp of smoke.
"Where is Teacher Sakuraba?" Toru Kamiki asked.
Seeing that he went directly to the topic, Miyuki Nakamura puffed up her cheeks in displeasure and glared: "Your attitude towards me is much worse than me."
"My tenderness is not enough to be extended to all women."
"Then it's enough for you to be subconsciously friendly towards me." Miyuki Nakamura smiled faintly, flicked the ash from her cigarette and said, "Here we go."
She looked towards the corridor with wisteria leaves spreading, and at the end was the atrium.
"Thank you, Teacher Nakamura. I will offer you fine tobacco and alcohol from now on."
"What~~ It turns out you know exactly what I like, you man." Miyuki Nakamura's lips raised in pleasure.
Toru Kamiki walked quickly towards the atrium, and sure enough, just like at noon that day, Noriko Sakuraba was sitting in the small pavilion, and oak leaves fell at her feet in twos and threes.
She was alone in a daze. Her small cherry-colored face, slender shoulders, waist, and legs only highlighted her plump upper body.
Because school is over, there are no students around.
"Fazi, do you know? The sun we see is the sun 8 minutes ago, the moon is the moon 1.3 seconds ago, and the building 1.5 kilometers away is the existence 5 microseconds ago."
Suddenly Kamiki Tetsu's voice came from beside him.
Sakuraba Noriko's delicate body trembled slightly, her long green eyelashes trembled up and down, and she looked at Kamiki Toru with her obsidian eyes.
It seems that whenever I think of him, he will appear. It's really amazing.
Seeing her looking at him in a daze, Kamiki Toru smiled and handed her the oolong tea he bought from the vending machine.
"Thanks."
Sakuraba Noriko flashed a smile, but her eyes were always focused on Kamiki Tetsu, and she felt very complicated every time she saw him.
It's like pouring a generous amount of sweet and spicy sauce on the hot Okonomiyaki, then throwing in the minced pork, chopped cabbage, red ginger, and fine potatoes, mixing them together and frying them on the hot iron plate.
Then, I smelled the white steam mixed with the aroma of sauce, and then my forehead was covered with sweat.
The feeling he brings is as strange as this gratuitous Okonomiyaki.
"Is oolong tea delicious? Method?" Kamiki asked with a smile.
"Um."
"Does this allow you to face me directly?"
"ah?"
Kamiki pointed at the oolong tea and said with a smile: "You have already drank the drink I gave you."
"To use such despicable means...with bad intentions." The look was so childish and funny, Sakuraba Noriko couldn't help but laugh out loud.
However, the smile on Toru Kamiki's face suddenly faded and he stared at Noriko Sakuraba.
"Noriko, I think I like you very much." Kamiki Tetsu said quietly.
Sakuraba Noriko opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she could only feel her cheeks getting hotter and hotter.
A certain part of his heart seemed to be pulled by him, and then a warm current caressed his whole body.
That feeling is like the sleepiness after a heavy meal, the brightness when you open the curtains when you wake up in the morning, and the melted chocolate filling the mold like happiness until it overflows.
However, after this happiness passed by, what followed was overwhelming sadness.
How should she deal with Shenmu Tetsu's tenderness and his heart?
Because there is a huge identity gap in front of the two people, which blocks them, Sakuraba Noriko feels powerless about it.
"That's the kind of feeling you have for your teacher, right? I understand, I'm a good teacher!" Noriko Sakuraba tensed her body and said with a smile, placing her hands on her legs cautiously.
"Yes, indeed." Shenmu Che nodded, and his voice in response was extremely dry.
Sakuraba Noriko was stunned, and suddenly felt that a big piece was missing in her heart. She lowered her gaze and said, "Let me just say, I am just ordinary. How could someone have such feelings for me?"
"Method."
"What?"
"Are you wavering between "don't want to admit it" and "want to have me all to yourself"?"
Noriko Sakuraba was stunned. At that moment, what came over her was not panic, but she suddenly felt very angry.
Angry at how he could figure out women's thoughts so skillfully, and angry at him for saying it like this.
"Idiot! Why do you say it out loud? Can't we understand it?" She said forcefully, as if scolding a child.
Sakuraba Noriko suddenly felt a sore nose, the hot air blocked her throat, and her chest felt uncomfortable.
Kamiki Toru stretched out his hand to hold Sakuraba Noriko's hand and said: "I like Noriko, please, please Noriko also likes me."
It was as if he had memorized the lines in advance and spoke the words naturally and simply.
"I feel very comfortable when I am with Fazi. I don't expect anything that Fazi can give me in the future. As long as we are together, I will be very happy."
"But this kind of thing cannot be decided by happiness..." Noriko Sakuraba lowered her head and tried to speak in a gentle and normal tone.
Kamiki Toru said in a clear voice:
"When I was a child, I watched "Wheat and the King". There was a book hut in it, and the books inside grew like flowers and plants, so many that they almost broke the ceiling."
"Fajiang must have been burying his head in a pile of books amidst the golden dust flying in the sky, roaming in the world of fantasy and reality. Fazi and I can also be as free as breathing, crossing that ambiguous boundary easily, isn't it?
?"
Noriko Sakuraba looked at the boy in front of her. He seemed to be surrounded by soft light, as if he was a resident in a fantasy land.
"But if Fazi thinks I'm stupid, wouldn't it be better to just tell him to go to school and say that you don't care about me at all?"
What?
Noriko Sakuraba's whole body was trembling, her head almost buried in her knees: "I, I can't say this, I don't want to be hated by you..."
Shenmu Che stretched out his hand and stroked her hair and said: "I'm sorry Noriko, I promise that I still like you yesterday and today, but I can't guarantee that I will continue to like you tomorrow."
His voice made Noriko Sakuraba suffocate.
"I...I don't want...this..."
Sakuraba Noriko couldn't bear it anymore. He was right. Between "not wanting to admit it" and "wanting to monopolize him", the latter had the upper hand at this moment.
When he saw the girls coming up to him, he felt very uncomfortable, so he hurriedly walked out of the auditorium.
"and you......"
She suddenly hugged Shenmu Che and said with a sweet voice: "Shenmu... I, what I want is no longer available. Father's bakery, trumpet, in fact, there is nothing more important than you now.
It’s important.”
Kamiki Toru hesitated for a moment, and finally hugged Noriko Sakuraba's soft and warm body tightly.
"I'm so scared. I have to dress up and come to class every day. I'm afraid you won't think I'm pretty."
Kamiki Toru's shoulders were hot due to Sakuraba Noriko's warm breath, and something was shining in the corner of her eyes.
"Idiot, I've already said it, you deserve better." Shenmu Che said, stroking the hair on her neck.
Noriko Sakuraba hugged Toru Kamiki tightly, and time seemed to be frozen.
The person you see is the person from 3 nanoseconds ago. Everything you see is the past. Only possession is the present.
"Shenmu, can I really do this?" Sakuraba Noriko held his hand with her soft palm and asked.
"Nothing is impossible." Shenmu Che said, looking into her clear eyes.
Complex emotions slowly seep into the soil like moisture after the rain stops.
The two of them stared at the concept of time running alone in the small pavilion.
The lips slowly came closer and finally kissed each other silently.
All these worries will disappear with the rain, leaving only the touch of those soft lips. This chapter has been completed!
