"Okay, okay, no matter what Kei says now, it can't change the fact that the record with me in fishing for goldfish is 7 to 0."

Horikita Suzune looked at Kitagawa Ryo who spoke in a friendly tone, and looked away slightly irritably.

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

"A heart-shaped mold was found in the cabinet."

On the morning of the fireworks display, Kitagawa Ryo brought out breakfast from the kitchen. In addition to the usual dishes, the heart-shaped egg placed in the middle immediately attracted Karuizawa Megumi's attention. Kitagawa Ryo also saw this. explained.

"It looks like they are a little reluctant to eat it."

Karuizawa Megumi poked the thick heart-shaped egg with chopsticks. After that night, Karuizawa Megumi never did anything out of the ordinary again, just like a girl who is truly in line with her current age. He is innocent and cute, waiting for Kitagawa Ryo's breakfast attentively like a child. You can't even see the stubborn look that night when the corner of his mouth was stained with blood and he kissed her.

Kitagawa Ryo had adjusted his mentality, but he didn't expect that Karuizawa Megumi could pretend that nothing happened, which made him somewhat suspicious that the other party was planning something big.

"Ryo, come and eat too."

For example, right now, Karuizawa Megumi is acting coquettishly towards Kitagawa Ryo with a smile on her face.

"Oh, okay."

At least he looks healthier now than before. Kitagawa Ryo comforted himself while sitting opposite Karuizawa Megumi and picking up chopsticks.

"What are your plans after Hui? If you want to transfer to another school, I can help."

Kitagawa Ryo cut open the heart-shaped egg on his plate and asked casually.

Karuizawa Kei tilted her head playfully, and then nodded thoughtfully. Although the amplitude was small, it gave people a cute feeling.

"It doesn't matter if I transfer to another school, as long as I can go to high school safely."

"What about going to school? Have Hui ever thought about going to Tokyo for advanced education? I heard that it should be considered one of the best high schools in Tokyo. Every year, various financial groups and the government spend a lot of resources. As for the quota, I will help Hui find a way. Yes, maybe I will go there to study in the future."

Hearing Kitagawa Ryo's words, Karuizawa Megumi's sapphire-like pupils suddenly flashed with surprise. She didn't care about issues such as entering a higher school. She didn't know much about Tokyo's highly educated people. What she cared about most was What Ryo Kitagawa said might be read together.

"Tokyo Advanced High School has a 100% admission rate. As long as you graduate from there, whether you go to Tokyo University or study abroad, the school will provide resources and recommendations. If you want to find direct employment, the school can also directly arrange positions. "

Kitagawa Ryo was still introducing Tokyo Advanced Education High School. He couldn't believe it when he heard this kind of propaganda before.

"Megumi can also make plans for the future early..."

Karuizawa Megumi could no longer hear Kitagawa Ryo's specific words. She just chewed her food blankly. She was now immersed in this atmosphere:

Discussing each other's future with Ryo...just imagining this scene was enough to shake her mind.

But when she came back to her senses and listened to the other person's words about various schools, majors, careers, and industry developments, Karuizawa Megumi felt that Kitagawa Ryo seemed to be moving away from her. It was obvious that his face was right there. In front of him, but it seemed that the next moment the two of them were blocked by an approaching train carriage, that familiar face suddenly disappeared, as if the train was driving farther and farther away. of foreign land.

"benefit?"

Kitagawa Ryo spoke softly to call back the distracted Karuizawa Megumi. He curled his lips and said:

"Okay, I know you don't like to hear this, so I won't say it anymore. Let's talk about something happy?"

"Tonight is the fireworks display."

"Even though Ryo has been away for half a year, he still misses the fireworks display here."

Karuizawa Megumi also chuckled and quickly threw away his wishful thinking. Now that he had made his decision, there was no option to regret it.

"Well, after all, I don't have many friends there. I basically just read and study, and I don't like British festivals."

Kitagawa Ryo responded to Karuizawa Megumi's words casually, his thoughts gradually drifting away. He indeed had not made any local friends in the UK. Only Horikita Manabu and Shiina Hiyori, both from Tokyo, were better friends.

"Megumi has already met Suzune, right?"

"Hmm? Horikita Suzune?"

This was still rare. Kitagawa Ryo took the initiative to talk to her about other girls. Karuizawa Megumi felt a little palpitated for no reason. She shook her head. Her mind was filled with the word "engagement". She subconsciously noticed that Kitagawa Ryo was interested in this. Changes in names for girls.

If it were before, Karuizawa Megumi would feel as if something was pressing on her chest now, but she didn't want to open her mouth to accuse or question, but now Karuizawa Megumi can still nod naturally. , I didn't mean to ask any more questions at all.

"Yes, because I want to put aside the engagement, I will go shopping with her for five minutes tonight and take some photos."

"Are you still wearing the same gray yukata from last year?"

"Well, I'm used to wearing that color."

Karuizawa Megumi naturally took control of the topic back into her own hands. Listening to Kitagawa Ryo's calm tone, she gradually regained her sense of security.

After finishing the meal, Karuizawa Megumi helped Kitagawa Ryo clear the dishes on the table, and inadvertently touched the boy's fingertips, which were warm and alive.

Karuizawa Megumi had stretched out her hand many times in the dark, and there was no one there. The only response to her was loneliness and silence, which licked her fingers like flames.

They wanted to eat her.

Until Ryo Beichuan, there is only Ryo Beichuan, and it will only be Ryo Beichuan.

Megumi Karuizawa's Autumn Lies: Take a day off to complain

Recently, it was the final review week at the university, and then I encountered the audit yesterday. I was a little annoyed. I discussed it with others and roughly figured out the logic of the audit. But according to that logic, what I originally planned later It may need to be revised, because it will definitely not pass the review when it is sent out. In this way, the entire plot ending will have to be redesigned. I spent a lot of time today to fine-tune the ending, and there is no time to write today's update.

I've taken a lot of time off these past two days, so I'd like to apologize to everyone who's following me, but looking at the data, it seems that most readers have turned to reading books or abandoned them. In fact, if you have any questions, you can post comments and book reviews to make suggestions. I myself can I will change it as appropriate, but I stopped reading without saying a word and I don't know what went wrong, so it's quite uncomfortable.

Thanks again to all readers who have subscribed, and I wish you all a healthy Dragon Boat Festival in advance.

Attached is a picture of benefits for school girls.

The Autumn Lies of Megumi Karuizawa: Chapter 27: Paper Roses

Horikita Suzune is wearing a sky blue yukata. Her cold expression and the ice-cracked texture on the surface of the yukata make her whole body exude the aura of a human-shaped iceberg. Her long hair that is usually disheveled is also Her hair was tied up into a complicated bun, revealing her slender and graceful neck like a swan. Kitagawa Ryoya wore a simple but unique light gray yukata. After the two met at the appointed place, they walked side by side into the hustle and bustle. temple fair scene.

Because both of them are well-deservedly good-looking, many passers-by will cast curious glances at them, and you can even hear some conversations secretly speculating about their relationship. After all, Kitagawa Ryo and Horikita Suzune are two Although they were walking together, they neither held hands nor chatted. Even their sights were in different directions. If they were not so close, it would be hard to tell that they were walking together at the fireworks display, but more like strangers. .

"Relax, you're almost walking smoothly."

Naturally, Kitagawa Ryo has been paying attention to Horikita Suzune, who claims to be attending the fireworks display for the first time. She is indeed a little uncomfortable with this noisy environment and the bustle of people. Her little face is tight and she walks The posture is also very stiff.

"How can there be..."

Horikita Suzune retorted quietly:

"It's just that I'm not used to it. It'll get better after a while."

"Yes, yes, I'll send you back in a while."

Kitagawa Ryo also wanted to liven up the awkward atmosphere between the two, and deliberately looked around to appear greedy:

"What to eat?"

"Do you have to eat something?"

"You should have something to eat. It's a festival after all."

Kitagawa Ryo went to a street vendor and bought two apple candies. He had a general sense of this, but he didn't hate it. He handed an apple candy to Horikita Suzune's hand and said with a smile:

"The joy of a child is to run from one festival to another until he grows up."

"At least don't debate those incomprehensible issues today, and don't read any books. Suzune can go shopping by herself later."

Horikita Suzune stiffly took the candy apple and carefully took a bite. The sour and sweet icing and pulp gave people the unique pleasure of sweets.

"The first batch of fireworks will be set off soon."

Kitagawa Ryo stood next to Horikita Suzune with some subtle feelings. At this time, it was always Karuizawa Megumi who stood side by side with him. He shook his head and threw all the messy thoughts behind him, looking at the square. The second hand of the big clock above moves step by step. The time is seven fifty-nine minutes and fifty seconds. In ten seconds, the first batch of fireworks will rise into the sky.

"Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls is indeed a classic, but it's never too late to read it."

Horikita Suzune heard Kitagawa Ryo counting down to herself:

"five four three two one."

Even the moon and stars were eclipsed at this moment. The artificial miracle turned into fireworks and exploded in the sky. The light formed by the flame reaction shone in everyone's eyes, blooming in an instant, and then dissipating in an instant.

Kitagawa Ryo put his hand on Horikita Suzune's shoulder. This was what the two of them had discussed long ago. Mr. Izaki should be taking pictures behind them at this time.

Horikita Suzune couldn't let go more than Kitagawa Ryo imagined. Kitagawa Ryo's hand on her shoulder could even clearly feel Horikita Suzune's body trembling slightly because of the material of the yukata he chose for her. Well, Kitagawa Ryo's hand was just lightly placed on it. Although it seemed to be an act of intimacy, there was no charming atmosphere at all. Kitagawa Ryo's hand could not feel Horikita Suzune's skin at all, just like The two are currently in the same relationship.

They are still separated by a layer of years and time.

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

Today, Karuizawa Megumi unusually did not tie up her hair like before, but let it hang down. Her honey-colored hair was smooth and smooth, and her moon-white yukata had a few patterns on it, as if it had just been washed. Taking a bath, my whole body felt moist and warm.

She is talking to someone on the phone.

It's the girl whose avatar is Ryo and whose name is "Hiyori Shiina".

"It feels... very lively."

Even though she could only hear the sound, Hiyori Shiina, who was in London, England, seemed to be able to really feel the atmosphere here. Megumi Karuizawa lowered her voice with a bit of showoff:

"Of course, it is a grand festival after all."

Tonight's phone invitation was initiated by Megumi Karuizawa. After answering Shiina Hiyori's original question seriously last night, she asked Shiina Hiyori to be a witness tonight. She hoped that if If she becomes weak again at the last moment, someone can give her a push.

Shiina Hiyori had no reason to refuse, because Karuizawa Megumi's plan also had an irresistible temptation for her.

"Does Karuizawa-san come to the fireworks display every year?"

"Well, that's about right. In my memory, I've basically never missed a meal, but it was always with Ryo."

"I originally thought that Ryo might not be able to come after he went to England, but he came back anyway."

Karuizawa Megumi recounted with a bit of nostalgia that she was walking on the streets of the evening market, minding her own business and looking at a pair of boys and girls chasing each other.

"How did Shiina meet Ryo?"

She suddenly asked Shiina Hiyori.

"We met in the library, and we often read and chatted together."

Shiina Hiyori's tone is still light and airy, like a torn piece of marshmallow, and when talking about the topic of Kitagawa Ryo, she will unconsciously bring out the sweetness.

She enjoyed her time with Kitagawa Ryo so much. They could talk about Ellery Queen, Lawrence Blake, and Cornell Woolrich. Shiina Hiyori marveled at how they had read so many of the same books. , these books combined into a huge moon, shrouding Kitagawa Ryo and Shiina Hiyori together. Even though one of them is now in London and the other in Tokyo, with a time difference of eleven and a half hours, as long as they talk about books Come, Hiyori Shiina can feel that they are still living under the light of the same bright moon, within reach.

"Ryo does like reading."

Naturally, Karuizawa Megumi couldn't understand Shiina Hiyori's specific feelings. She could only respond dryly and couldn't help but look at the time. It was already about 7:55. The time she and Kitagawa Ryo agreed on was eight We meet at 05:00, still ten minutes left.

It was obvious that he was just wandering aimlessly, but when he realized it, Karuizawa Megumi had already reached the street where Kitagawa Ryo and Horikita Suzune were. This was also the information Ryo revealed to her in advance. He indeed never lied to Karuizawa Megumi. .

At the end of the street, even though there were a lot of people separated, Karuizawa Megumi still caught the figure of Kitagawa Ryo at a glance. It was an all-too-familiar back figure, even though the gray yukata stood out among the various bright colors around. It's not eye-catching, but for Megumi Karuizawa, familiarity is the most recognizable color.

It is a color that is painted over and over again using memories as paint. Whenever time wants to bleach it, new memories become new paint, and it starts over and over again.

Kitagawa Ryo was buying two apple candies. Ryo looked cuter than Karuizawa Megumi when he was a child, but as he grew up, his facial lines became increasingly hardened, and he began to show a little bit of the childishness and charm unique to teenagers. A complex charm mixed with high spirits.

Karuizawa Megumi watched Kitagawa Ryo return to Horikita Suzune with apple candies. She didn't even bother to look at Horikita Suzune, she just fixed her eyes firmly on Kitagawa Ryo who was speaking. Square The big clock above is still ticking second by second, and the passing time seems to be a countdown to death that will inevitably come one day.

Where we arrive, there is the final moment that no one can avoid.

Hiyori Shiina heard a very quiet call in her earphones. It was a volume that could never be heard by others.

"cold."

This is a fixed title that has only belonged to Karuizawa Megumi since childhood.

I no longer have the fantasy of being with you forever.

Even so, even so.

[I am here. ]

By your side, at least until the end comes.

Karuizawa Megumi raised her head, brilliant fireworks blooming like fire in her blue eyes.

In the cool night wind, she subconsciously stretched out her hands, as if she wanted to hug a non-existent figure tightly under this grand and glorious night scene, but in the end her outstretched arms just stayed in the air comically, at every turn.

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

Before today's fireworks display, Kitagawa Ryo had a rare chance to catch a glimpse of Mr. Izaki who was busy with something unknown. In other words, the other party came to see him on his own initiative.

"Master and Horikita Suzune are acting right now."

When he came up, he exposed Kitagawa Ryo's lies straight to the point. Mr. Izaki glanced at the dried and withered rose on the table.
