"I think it's quite suitable."

"If I say this is because I once accidentally said that I like long hair, would you believe it?"

"Believe me, after all, you were forced to go to England by your sister, and then you will be forced to go to a closed high-education middle school. If it wasn't because you exerted too much influence on your sister, why should you avoid her?"

"...I originally thought Suzune's situation would get better after I left."

"Come on, I don't want to hear your brother and sister's story again. I just called you to tell you that it's okay for me."

Kitagawa Ryo's thoughts are basically still entangled with Karuizawa Megumi, and naturally he doesn't want to get in touch with this kind of girl who looks troublesome at first sight.

Although Karuizawa Megumi is also a problem child.

"..."

Horikita Manabu over there was silent for a long time, as if he wanted to say something.

"Ryo, do you know why your uncle and aunt allowed you to return to Tokyo this time?"

"Mr. Isaki did seem to have said there was a reason, but he didn't tell me either."

"Well, actually the most important reason is for you to go to Tokyo to meet Suzune."

Kitagawa Ryo suddenly felt a chill in his back, remembering how the Horikita family seemed to be familiar with the Kitagawa family. He knew Horikita Manabu because he frequently visited his home.

"Hey, there won't be such an unfolding. This is not a romance comic."

Horikita Manabu also sighed helplessly:

"Although this fact may be difficult to accept, Ryo does have an engagement with Suzune."

Just when this explosive news hit Kitagawa Ryo's brain, his mobile phone received a message from Karuizawa Megumi:

"I'm already home. Ryo will continue to accompany me tomorrow. �c(??�?)ノ"

Immediately afterwards, the second message from Shiina Hiyori was also sent.

"I read "Eight Million Ways to Die" recommended by Kitagawa-kun today, and I feel like there are a lot of things I want to discuss with Kitagawa-kun."

"Ah, I'm sorry. I forgot that Kitagawa-kun is in Tokyo now. It must be late at night there. Please don't reply if you bother me."

Kitagawa Liang turned off his cell phone.

Megumi Karuizawa's Autumn Lies: Chapter 11: The Beginning and End of Everyday Life

Karuizawa Megumi woke up much earlier than she thought. If only calculated according to the concept of time, her real sleep time was only about four to five hours, but a kind of compulsion made her wake up early in the morning. She opened her eyes before six o'clock. She didn't feel sleepy at all, and was even slightly excited. If every morning in the past two months was like a bottomless pit, which seemed long and dark, then this morning's For the first time, Karuizawa Megumi looked forward to a new day.

She seemed to have ignored the time. Karuizawa Megumi didn't notice that it was just past five o'clock. She was like a flower awakened by the first ray of sunshine in the morning. Karuizawa Megumi opened the curtains and opened the window. , humming a song and going to the bathroom to wash up.

Karuizawa Megumi's heart was beating very actively since she woke up, like a child who was looking forward to spring outings in the past. She held a hair tie in her mouth and tied her hair up in front of the mirror, raising her eyebrows and widening her eyes to see if there were any With dark circles under her eyes, it was as if there were two villains fighting with each other in her head. One was urging her to pack up and go to the hotel, while the other was gently comforting her to spend more time dressing up at home. This split mood lasted until Karuizawa Hui barely disappeared after washing up.

The white skirt she wore yesterday has been washed. Karuizawa Megumi just randomly picked a simple outfit. She wore a white short-sleeved casual shirt with a lapel on her upper body. The small pattern on the edge of the button added a lot of color to the single appearance. The back part of the hem of the shirt is tucked into the waistband of the jeans, and the fluttering front hem is tied into a pointed knot. It looks fresh and bright, with a very summery atmosphere.

After leaving a note for her parents, Karuizawa Megumi walked towards the hotel where Kitagawa Ryo was staying on her small sandals. At this time, there were not many people on the street and the air was fresh. She was deeply moved. I took a deep breath and felt that the scenery I was used to seeing on the roadside suddenly became new again.

She suddenly realized that she had done something similar before:

Kitagawa Ryo's previous home was not far from Karuizawa Megumi's original home, about the distance between the beginning and end of the street. At that time, it only took about five minutes for Karuizawa Megumi to go to Kitagawa Ryo's home, half of which was still Spending time walking up and down the stairs, about six months ago when the two graduated from elementary school, Karuizawa Megumi suddenly heard Kitagawa Ryo saying that her parents were back. At that time, she had a premonition that Kitagawa Ryo might leave one day.

Even Kitagawa Ryo might suddenly disappear one morning, and then she would knock on the door as always, but no one would ever open it. This scene often appeared in Karuizawa Megumi's dreams during that time.

So in the days before Kitagawa Ryo left, Karuizawa Megumi got up earlier than everyone else. The first thing she did when she woke up every morning was to sneak out of the house and knock on Kitagawa Ryo's door. Only when Kitagawa Ryo got up drowsily and opened the door for her could she go back to wash with peace of mind. Of course, more often than not, she would go back to sleep peacefully.

She would cherish every minute and every second when she got along with Kitagawa Ryo. At that time, Karuizawa Megumi would always stare at Kitagawa Ryo's face for a long time inexplicably, as if she wanted to take in every inch and every bit of him. He traced it carefully in his heart, as if he was afraid that Kitagawa Ryo would forget his appearance after he really left. Karuizawa Megumi would even touch Kitagawa Ryo's face unconsciously from time to time, until the other person wrinkled in confusion. He frowned.

They stuck together almost all day long. Even when Karuizawa Megumi went home at night, he wanted to fold Kitagawa Ryo like a piece of origami and put it in his pocket, put him back and carry him with him. When Kitagawa Ryo officially met Karuizawa After Zeke mentioned the time of his departure, Karuizawa regarded every day with Ryo Kitagawa as the last day, and every separation seemed to be a rehearsal for the last farewell.

Until Kitagawa Ryo really left, Karuizawa Megumi still habitually knocked on the door the next day. Pink cherry blossoms were fluttering on the glass. For the first time, she realized that the door handle was metal. The fact of the material is that after holding it for a long time, the unique coldness of metal will be transmitted from the palm, flowing down the blood vessels to the bottom of the heart.

It was as if a nightmare she had once suddenly came out of the darkness clearly, and the illusory fear suddenly appeared in front of her realistically, and grew into a terrifying new species that bared its teeth and claws at her.

Karuizawa Megumi walked briskly on the path in the early morning while staggering through memories. She relived all the past times with Kitagawa Ryo, ironed them, and made them warm little by little. Then I feel hot in my heart.

Her pace became faster and faster, and finally she was even close to running. Karuizawa Megumi could not wait to see Kitagawa Ryo, but the emotion that surged from her heart at this moment was a strange kind of confession, like It was the devout believer who stumbled towards the cross. Karuizawa Megumi walked into the hotel elevator and then came to the door of Kitagawa Ryo's room.

Kitagawa Ryo can connect seamlessly to the past.

But Karuizawa Megumi couldn't do this. She inexplicably didn't dare to knock on Kitagawa Ryo's door like she did in the past. Her fingers rested on the wooden door, and she leaned her ears against the door like a timid child. Listen to what's going on inside.

Just after this action lasted for less than three minutes, the door to the room suddenly opened. After the thing between the two of them was suddenly removed, Karuizawa Megumi lost his balance and fell in at a loss. , and Kitagawa Ryo, who had just gotten up and opened the door, did not react, but subconsciously caught Karuizawa Megumi. The whole process looked like Karuizawa Megumi took the initiative to guard the door and threw herself into Kitagawa Ryo's arms.

Neither of them understood the situation for a moment. They raised their heads in unison, and each found their own shadow in the other's pupils.

"benefit?"

Kitagawa Ryo was the first to speak. He had just gotten up and was still wearing pajamas.

"Ah...it's okay."

Karuizawa Megumi was also brought back to her senses by Kitagawa Ryo's shout. She quickly stood up on her own and looked for a topic with some embarrassment:

"It's really early for it to get cold."

"If it's early, Megumi should have gotten up earlier than me."

Kitagawa Ryo went back to the room wearing slippers and got a new pair of slippers for Karuizawa Megumi:

"After all, I just got up, and Huidu has already washed up and found me."

He rubbed his chin and guessed:

"But if Hui comes here now, he must have not had breakfast. Do you want me to cook you a meal?"

This large, luxurious guest room booked by Mr. Izaki has its own kitchen and a lot of fresh ingredients in the refrigerator. These are facts that Kitagawa Ryo confirmed yesterday, so now he has the confidence to speak.

"Um."

Karuizawa Megumi nodded. She seemed to be unable to find a place to sit for a while. In the end, she simply sat on the bed where Kitagawa Ryo had just slept, hugging her knees and waiting for Kitagawa Ryo's movements.

"Want to watch TV?"

Kitagawa Ryo licked his lips at the large-screen TV hanging on the wall before walking into the kitchen.

Karuizawa Megumi hummed in a low voice. After a while, Kitagawa Ryo guessed that she was looking for the remote control:

"The remote is in the second drawer of the nightstand."

Blushing slightly, Karuizawa Megumi threw some small packages of exquisite gadgets back into the deepest part of the first drawer, and successfully turned on the TV with the remote control found in the second drawer. It was almost seven o'clock now. Earlier channels have started showing morning news.

[The annual fireworks display is about to open in five days. According to meteorological experts, the weather conditions will be good that day and the probability of precipitation is low. I hope that all citizens can enjoy this rare grand celebration. ]

Today's headline news is the advance report of the fireworks display that will be held in two days. The opening time of the city's fireworks display is quite mysterious, but it is generally distributed within the month of mid-July to mid-August, such as This year's fireworks display was a rather late one.

"cold."

The news and the voice of Karuizawa Megumi reached his ears together, and Kitagawa Ryoya stopped what he was doing for an instant.

Kitagawa Ryo, who suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, turned around, and Karuizawa Megumi looked like he wasn't watching TV at all. Kitagawa Ryo couldn't tell for a moment whether she was dozing off because she was sleepy because she got up too early. In short, Karuizawa Megumi was letting her eyes float in mid-air in a daze, and her blue pupils seemed to have difficulty identifying the focus position. When Kitagawa Ryo turned around, he seemed to be focused.

Karuizawa Megumi tilted her head, she stared at Kitagawa Ryo and asked with some confusion:

"What's wrong?"

"I thought I heard Hui calling me just now."

"Really? I have no impression."

Karuizawa Megumi curled up and seemed to feel cold, and even re-wrapped the quilt that had been lifted aside. Kitagawa Ryo guessed that the air conditioner in the guest room was turned on too much, so he stepped out and used the remote control to adjust the temperature.

Kitagawa Ryo always felt that the current appearance of Karuizawa Megumi was slightly different from the past. While frying eggs, he recalled the past image of Karuizawa Megumi in his mind.

What was the former Karuizawa Megumi like? The absence was obviously not long enough for memories to become ambiguous, nor long enough for her appearance to change significantly, but Kitagawa Ryo could not recall the specific "past image" of Karuizawa Megumi.

The former Karuizawa Megumi was indeed a competitive and strong child. Having said that, in the first five years of elementary school, Kitagawa Ryo and Karuizawa Megumi's contact time was only in their free time outside school, and at that time, he was actually She doesn't like to talk much. Usually Karuizawa Megumi is the leader of the topic and the maker of actions. On several occasions, Karuizawa Megumi himself has even planned some secret operations, such as secretly traveling dozens of kilometers away with Kitagawa Ryo. parks and the like.

From this point of view, Karuizawa Megumi is a very subjective girl.

After such a comparison, I feel that something is not quite right about Karuizawa Megumi now.

Kitagawa Ryo put the fried eggs on the plate, and he could feel Karuizawa Megumi's eyes on his back all the time.

However--

Karuizawa Megumi is like Kitagawa Ryo... a general existence.

Kitagawa Ryo was planning to fill in an adjective, but no matter what it was, he couldn't describe it accurately, so he decided to fill in the blank as "special" for the time being.

"Come and eat, but my cooking skills are limited to this."

Kitagawa Ryo and Karuizawa Megumi sat on opposite sides of the table, with golden omelette and sliced ​​bread on the plate, as well as two cups of snow-white hot milk.

In this way, the daily life of Kitagawa Ryo and Karuizawa Megumi began.

----------------------------------------

Compared to a girl's room, this is a rather simple room. There are no extra decorations in the whole body. Both the walls and the ceiling are simple white, and there is no wallpaper. The overall layout of the room is quite simple. , the neat and spotless bookshelves are classified according to categories and filled with a considerable number of books. The various furniture are all in a simple style, with plain white and light blue as the main colors, and belong to Horikita Suzune. Room.

The alarm clock at six o'clock in the morning was slapped by a slender white hand as soon as it made the first sound. Horikita Suzune, who got up without any fuss, quickly changed into light sportswear, in a simple and yet elegant way. After washing carefully, I went out for morning exercises.

The life routine of a girl has been regulated to an even rigorous attitude a few years ago. Horikita Suzune is a girl who pursues perfection.

In other words, she is a younger sister who is pursuing the image of her brother. Because Horikita Manabu is almost perfect in her mind, there is no problem in saying that she is pursuing perfection and moving forward.

After returning home after thirty minutes of morning exercise, Horikita Suzune first changed her clothes and took a hot shower. Under the wash of hot water, her usually sickly white skin was slightly red at this moment, and she had waist-length hair. The long black hair is spread out on the back, filled with water vapor, and has a dark color like the wet feathers of a crow.

After rinsing off the sweat from her morning exercise, Horikita Suzune began to cook for herself meticulously. Cooking is a skill that must be mastered when living alone. After several years of training, her cooking skills have become quite impressive. , he is quite outstanding among his peers.

After bringing the prepared breakfast to the table, Horikita Suzune turned on the TV to watch the morning news. Being alone did not mean she had to reject all information from the outside world. She accurately cut the food on the plate and put it into her mouth while receiving it. with all kinds of news.

After breakfast, it was time to wash the dishes. In order not to get stained by the bubbles of the dishwashing liquid, Horikita Suzune smoothly moved all her long hair back and tied it into a high ponytail. The girl Horikita Suzune doesn't usually style her hair deliberately, so she usually has beautiful straight hair hanging down. Because of this, occasionally changing to other hairstyles will give people a completely different impression. The high ponytail sways slightly with the movements of the hands, adding a sense of vitality to the girl.

Horikita Suzune's daily life was always the same until she received a cross-country call from Horikita Manabu three minutes later:

"It's best to meet Liang today, even if it's just to get acquainted and make friends."

her brother said on the phone.

Thus, Horikita Suzune's daily life came to an end.

The Autumn Lies of Megumi Karuizawa: Chapter 12: The decision to change the direction

The fitting room is an extremely narrow space. Many people like this small space where they can see everything around them at a glance, thinking that it brings them a strange sense of security. However, Karuizawa Megumi cannot accept this. From her point of view, for her, a narrow and confined space has nothing to do with the word "safety". It is more often associated with bad words such as "danger" and "no place to escape."

When she thought of this, Karuizawa Megumi's breathing became a little faster, but she soon realized that Kitagawa Ryo was standing outside this door. This fact suddenly enveloped her, and she could finally act normally here. .

After taking off the clothes on her body and putting on this carefully selected pure black dress, the clock outside chimed the hour, and Karuizawa Megumi's breathing became a little heavier. Water vapor formed on the top of the half-length mirror in front of him, making the mirror surface appear blurry.

It was already eleven o'clock at noon, and Megumi Karuizawa was trying on the clothes slowly as if she was deliberately slowing down her movements.

Kitagawa Ryo told her in the morning that he had something to do at noon today, or in other words, he had to meet someone. This was what his parents meant.

Karuizawa Megumi keenly captured this information, so during this morning's shopping, the two of them still found nothing. No matter what Kitagawa Ryo's evaluation was, Karuizawa Megumi would always use the reason that there might be a more suitable reason to explain this process. She had to start over again. From last night to now, she didn't know how many times she had repeated this statement.

Karuizawa Megumi stretched out her hand and wiped the half-length mirror in front of her, leaving an obvious bright mark, which reflected her snow-white neck.

She raised her eyes, and what was reflected in the mirror was a body that was not yet fully developed but could be considered scarred.

The arms were thin and fragile, and connected to the petite palms. They looked like they had never been trained.

Slightly inflated, but generally still depicting a gentle curve of the chest, the same goes for everything else, from the small belly button to the voluptuous waist, and then extending to the feet. Moving your gaze downwards, you can easily see the toes. Just as Kitagawa Ryo once thought, Karuizawa Megumi's entire body was enveloped in a weak atmosphere that would give rise to sadistic impulses.

What makes Karuizawa Megumi even more embarrassed are the bruises and small scars that have not gone away. They are eye-catchingly dotted on his chest, abdomen, shoulders and back, as if reminding him of his past experiences over and over again.

Karuizawa Megumi stroked the bangs in front of her forehead, and a scab was clearly visible on the right half of her scalp. It was a scratch about six or seven centimeters long. Karuizawa Megumi is now She forgot about the person who caused this scar on her. At that time, she was just glad that this was an ugliness that could be covered up.

But now Karuizawa Megumi took the initiative to expose it again. She looked at it through the mirror with some fear, and then stretched out her hand to touch the scabbed scar. The wound that had long since healed was physically It will not cause pain to Karuizawa Megumi again. When you touch her, you will even feel that the other person has become independent from the body. The smell of blood has already become cold, as if it had never happened.

Little by little, Karuizawa Megumi began to put on the jet black dress. In the past, Karuizawa Megumi always wore casual clothes based on blue or white, or the school uniform, so occasionally Try different styles and it will give people a completely different impression like Cinderella being enchanted.

It has to be said that even judging from the reflections of Ryo Kitagawa and even the store staff around her, this skirt is extremely suitable for Karuizawa Megumi. Even she walked out of the fitting room and stood in front of the huge full-length mirror, feeling a little dazed. Living.

"Just buy this one."

This was almost the first time Kitagawa Ryo used such a determined tone. He stood next to Karuizawa Megumi and praised without hesitation:
