Chapter 22: Salted Cherry Blossoms

The 'Ha no Kuni' took off from Tokyo's Haneda Airport and landed at Osaka Kansai International Airport two hours later. Yuzuru slowly opened his eyes and saw the rain and frost condensing outside the window.

When a stronger cold wave comes, the warm air in front of the cold front will be compressed and heated up, so generally when a large cold wave comes, it is often accompanied by an abnormal rise in temperature for a period of time.

Therefore, it was still a warm autumn day last week, but the temperature dropped sharply last night.

A strong cold wave swept across the entire island country from mid-October, and cold rain covered the land in darkness.

Before Yu Xian got off the plane, he put on the warm jacket that Hua Niao Fengyue bought for him in advance and turned up the black collar. This not only covered his face, but also prevented his ears from getting cold.

He didn't have the habit of reading the weather forecast, but flowers, birds, winds and moons did. If you were not careful in this kind of weather, you would catch a cold, and she had prepared everything for him in advance.

After getting off the plane and sitting in the car, she saw people on the road shivering from the cold in the rain. Yu Xian wanted to laugh, but she didn't. If it weren't for her carefulness, she would be in the same embarrassment today.

Osaka, the sixth largest city in the world, is a kingdom of heavy industrialization.

Sitting on the plane and looking down, all I see is a gray rusty steel.

The industrial smoke piles up like a mountain, but the whole place is thriving. As the car drives on the empty road at the edge of the airport, you can see the billboards left on the roadside many years ago.

They are like silent eyes, staring at the huge abandoned factories on both sides of the road.

At six o'clock in the morning when the dim yellow tones mix with the rain, the world is depressing.

Yu Xian took out the only gentle bright color from his schoolbag - the breakfast prepared by Hua Niao Feng Yue for him, salted cherry blossoms.

This was the first time he knew that cherry blossoms were edible.

At four o'clock in the morning, Hua Niao Fengyue got up from the bed, put on a thick cotton coat, and braved the heavy rain. On the road in the residential area, while breathing in the air-conditioning, she picked a piece for him in the cold morning dew.

Kabuto Sakura.

To make salted cherry blossoms, you need to pick them together with the flower cores. After salting, the fragrance will last for a long time and the color will not change. When you want to eat, take it out and put it on the rice ball. The cherry blossoms will be as bright red as if they were just picked.

She also has rice balls ready.

Others use molds to press it, but she kneads the rice bit by bit.

Yu Xianzhisheng picked up the salted cherry blossoms with a tachyon, put them on the rice ball, and chewed it gently in his mouth. The rice ball was packed in a thermal box and was still steaming. After eating it, he felt much warmer.

There are many varieties of cherry blossoms, but not all of them are edible.

In the morning, he didn't dare to eat this kind of food, fearing that it would cause diarrhea.

Hanatori Fengyue told him with a smile that she carefully selected the Guanshan cherry blossoms among the eight cherry blossoms. Please feel free to eat them, and this kind of cherry blossoms has the best taste.

In addition to cherry blossoms, she also made fruit paste by squeezing fresh juice from oranges and apples, filtering out the fine pulp, then frying over a slow fire until about half cooked, then adding sugar and stirring carefully.

Orange paste is like golden amber, apple paste is like golden sugar.

Next to it is a large bottle of red bean soup to warm your stomach.

When Yuxian was still asleep, she had already prepared everything. When flying, her taste sensitivity will decrease and her appetite will be less good, and these are good appetizers.

At that time, when he got up and opened his eyes, he only saw the wet and dripping cotton-padded coat hanging in front of the window. At that time, he didn't understand why her cotton-padded coat was soaked.

But now he understands.

There was no Guanshan cherry variety in the residential area, so she ran to a small park two miles away, braving the rain and coming back again.

Yu Xian was eating breakfast quietly, with several pairs of her plush socks stuffed in her schoolbag. They were unisex styles and were very warm on the feet.

In fact, he was only going away for one day. His plan was to visit the dance club of Yaesu Girls' High School, teach them the choreography of "Ultramarine", record the MV, and return to Tokyo in the evening.

But for a girl who likes you, if you go out for an hour, that is her time to prepare for war. This is her love for you, which looks silly but is fully armed.

Next to her, Rina Ryoko was on the phone and ended the call quickly.

She stared at Yuxian Zhisheng eating rice balls with great greed. She had never seen Yuxian Zhisheng eat so sweetly. When he chewed hard, the muscles of his cheeks were clearly visible.

"Who is Xia Chuan Haiyue?" Yu Xian stopped chewing.

"The daughter of Ms. Natsukawa Seko, Seko is the third general in the group of best friends. She was the one who sent those truckloads of Osaka specialties."

Rina Ryoko said cautiously: "Aren't you going to choose the female students to record the MV? Then Natsukawa Seko called me and asked me to ask you if you can add her daughter to the music video?"

"Can she dance?" Yu Xian asked naively.

"Yes, yes, I can. Seko said that she has been learning dance since she was a child."

Saying that, Rina Ryoko handed the photo sent by MMS to Yuzuru's naive hand.

The photo shows a very energetic girl with shoulder-length hair, a red tie, and a red school uniform with a gold emblem.

There was another girl standing next to her. She looked very quiet, but unexpectedly had twin tails, was quite cute, and was wearing a navy blue skirt.

I have to say, it’s quite festive for these two to stand together.

"Which one is Xia Chuan Haiyue?" Yu Xian asked naively.

"This." Rina Ryoko pointed at the girl with red hair.

"Who's that next to her?"

"Kamiyoko is her childhood sweetheart."

"Can she dance?"

"Yes, I have learned dance since I was a child, but it is standard for the daughters of these wealthy families. Osaka is not a poor place like Hokkaido. To learn dance, you have to be sponsored by others." Rina Ryoko said with a smile.

Yuxian Zhisheng knew who she was ridiculing.

He raised his head and glanced at her, and Rina Ryoko closed her red lips knowingly.

He was not angry because her sarcasm was ineffective.

He has seen how hard the girls from poor families in the Flower Dance Women's Club usually practice.

Hanatori Fuugetsu's family was born as a fisherman, but she became a leader. Only she knows how much she has suffered along the way. But it is this girl who has raised Hokkaido, a large rural area that is cold and desolate in the eyes of the Japanese, to the top of the college rankings.

The third place.

Shouldn't it be those pampered young ladies in Tokyo who should be ashamed and reflect?

"I want both of them. Please contact the dance department of that school and ask them to remove the two girls and replace them with the other two." Yu Xian returned the phone to her.

"But one thing Seko said is enough."

"Bring Chiyoko with you, maybe they can be a match."

Rina Ryoko happily returned the call.

This is the role of connections. Opening a back door is as easy as eating and drinking.

It's raining heavily outside again, and there are gloomy clouds in the sky.

Before going out this morning, Hua Niao Fengyue was holding the door frame and suddenly called him.

She asked a question. She said that if one day in the future, Yu Xianjun gets tired of me, can you please not leave me behind? Even if it is just as a lover, she is willing to do so.

Yuxian Zhisheng said, why do you ask this?

She shook her head and said, Mr. Yuxian, you are walking too fast and I can't catch up with you.

What stands in the way between the two is not only the complicated and intertwined power relationship, but also the huge gap between status, connections, and classes. When Yu Xianzhisheng saved her, she had already recognized this distance.

Although she is also a great girl herself.

If she were placed on an ordinary campus at the age of sixteen, she would have become the most dazzling female classmate in her school days. She would be well-behaved and bright, but she would always boldly do some rebellious but not excessive things, such as

Wearing a plain white shirt, tying her school uniform jacket around her waist, and swinging her black ponytail, she looked radiant.

Not only is she pretty and lively, with excellent grades, she can also sing and dance, making her shine among the nerds and becoming the dream girl of all the boys.

But this is not an ordinary school, this is society.

The location where Yu Xian's child is standing is at the top of Tokyo.

She was scared, she was worried about losing, so she asked.

Yuxian Zhisheng didn't answer her question, he just walked up to her and kissed her seriously.

His first kiss just disappeared. It didn't seem to be an important thing, but he really lost something, something that could never be recovered. He looked at this beautiful girl and fell into a fantasy feeling.

The feeling reminded him of a long, long time ago, when the mist of birds rising from the steamer steamer rose at the door of a rainy alley.

Those days were ordinary, day after day, year after year.

This is the ordinary life he wants most.

But he knew that he was getting further and further away from the life of ordinary people, and he could never go back. He wanted to experience the love of ordinary people, ordinary people going on dates hand in hand, and the freedom of ordinary people without any restrictions.

All this, only flowers, birds, wind and moon can give him. She is the last piece of pure land, clean and free from any complicated relationships.

So no matter how far he travels, he always comes back here when he feels tired.

"Yu Xian-kun."

"Um?"

"If there is a next life, I also hope that I can become a eldest lady."

"This way you won't be afraid of anything."

...

With drizzle falling, Natsukawa Kaiyue and Kamiyako walked out of the teaching building of the junior high school holding umbrellas, holding fried noodles bread bought from the canteen in their mouths.

The two of them came too early and didn't even eat breakfast. They were so hungry that they couldn't bear it. They took a bite of bread and sucked a sip of strawberry milk at the same time, and their movements were surprisingly consistent.

"Give me a taste of yours!" Xia Chuan Haiyue ordered.

"No, I bought the same thing as you." Shenyoko said.

Xia Chuan Haiyue then gave up, held an umbrella, squatted on the ground feebly, crossed her arms and said, "When will he arrive? I'll wait until the flowers have withered."

"The happiest thing is waiting." Shenyoko said calmly.

"Hey, robot, aren't you angry?" Xia Chuan Haiyue raised his head and looked at her. Beside the flowerbed covered in drizzle, the girl's beauty was as bright as the sun.

Kamiyako ate the bread, held the umbrella around her neck, and squatted next to her.

From time to time, a group of girls would pass by the two of them, and the topic of discussion was nothing more than the fact that Yu Xian was coming to school today to shoot the MV for the semi-finals.

But this has nothing to do with junior high school students like them. Yuzuru went to the high school of Yaesu Girls' High School, and the dancers for his video were all seniors.

Nonetheless, looking at it, the scene is crazy.

Today is Saturday, but the campus is packed with people.

A large number of junior high school girls holding umbrellas of different colors crowded like flowers at the entrance of the junior high school. In such a cold weather, they all wore short skirts and shirts.

Of course, the same goes for both of them.

Star chasing is just to let your idol see you at your most beautiful, don't play if you don't like it.

This is just the junior high school.

The seniors in the high school department were even crazier. They decorated the playground early in the morning like an idol meeting, and held a huge banner at the school performance filled with the seniors’ signatures of support.

And in the rain, the senior students were wearing raincoats and standing in the rain. The front row carried colorful flags with Yu Xian's childish little fish puppet cartoon image painted on them.

In the heavy rain, they practiced the formation. When Yuxian gets off the bus, they will start running, and the different colors of high and low will form his name.

The news was notified a day in advance. Yesterday, the activity room received a thousand girls who voluntarily signed up in one afternoon. In the morning, more than two thousand people came, including many from other schools dozens of miles away.

The fluorescent sticks were shining brightly in the rain, and there were free tea and snacks on the playground. There were large framed photos of Yu Xian as a child, and many girls left lip prints on them.

"Which senior came up with this idea? It's so cool." Xia Chuan Haiyue took a cup of hot tea and warmed her cold hands.

"It's the vice principal." Kamiyako said.

"Pfft~" Xia Chuan Haiyue spurted out the tea he just drank.

"I remember that the vice-principal of the high school department was a Mediterranean uncle, right?"

"Is there a rule that bald men can't chase stars?"

"Well, that makes sense."

"This is called compensation in psychology, asking others to do things for him that he can't do."

"Absolutely amazing." Xia Chuan Haiyue praised.

Before leaving, Kamiyako reluctantly stared at the colorful balloons on the banner.

Natsukawa Haiyue put the umbrella into her hand, took a few steps back, jumped up with a whoosh, pulled down one of the balloons, and handed it to Kamishiroko's hand.

"Thank you." Kamiyako said happily.

"Forget it, let's go back. I don't want to wait for him anymore." Xia Chuan Haiyue said, "It's better to hold the cat and drink coffee at home."

"I agree." Kamishiroko said.

Xia Chuan Haiyue twitched the corners of his mouth, with a guilty look in his eyes.

She wanted to go home, not because she didn't want to wait for him, but because she wanted to be a deserter.

She was bragging too much. Because of those two concert tickets, she was highly praised by everyone during this period. She couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south. Even she felt that she had really been there.

If you tell lies too many times, you will start to believe them.

Then yesterday afternoon, she waved her hand at the girls' study group and said that it was really nothing. Sister, I have a wide network of contacts. Believe it or not, tomorrow Yu Xian, a junior student, will take the initiative to ask me to dance with him.

Everyone said in disbelief, if this is the case, so what if I regard you as the true goddess!

But how is this possible?

Kamiyako may have seen through this, but she didn't want to expose it, so she was willing to go home with her.

The two girls didn't speak anymore, and walked one behind the other. The rain poured down along the umbrella eaves, and the sound of the senior sisters waving flags and cheering for rehearsals came from the playground.

Suddenly the situation became turbulent.

It's like someone stabbed a hornet's nest.

Then a bunch of wasps rushed toward a certain place.

The rainwater on the ground was splashed by the girls' leather shoes, and the umbrellas became staggered.

The noisy sound suddenly exploded.

"Coming!"

"Yu Xian is here!"

The cheers suddenly washed away the sadness of the rain. Murakami Shigure-senpai was the only rebel on this wide road. She struggled to run towards the two of them, with nosebleeds flying: "Come on! Yuzuru

You are here!"

No one in the high school wanted to play with this senior with huge breasts, but the two of them were willing to become good friends with her. She struggled, growled, and was fearless, and the blood between her nose made her a little ridiculous.

Last time I saw Yuxian's childish photos, she also had a lot of nosebleeds.

The nickname given by people: 10ml Squirting Blood Girl.

This time I sprayed more than 10ml.

The nosebleed has arrived, proving that Yuxian Zhisheng has really arrived!

There was a chill on the sky, and Xia Chuan Haiyue suddenly felt goosebumps. She had underestimated Yu Xian's childlike attraction to these young girls who were just beginning to fall in love.

If this is embarrassing, then it is a big shame.

"Let's run away," she said softly.

But where could he run? The extended Lincoln sedan had already parked at the gate of the campus. The crowd blocked the gate tightly. With crazy screams, the security guards forcefully separated the crowds on both sides. Yu Xianzhi

Sheng picked up the collar of his jacket again, held up a black umbrella, and slowly got out of the car.

The young man under the black umbrella raised his head slightly, with a pure and white face.
