["Phew, this is it." After another two hours of driving, you finally arrived in front of this small-looking apartment. ]

[Noticing that the other person seemed to be staring at your face closely, you tilted your head in confusion, and Hotaru on your shoulder also tilted her head:]

The Summer of Ichinose Honami Reappears: Chapter 24: It's been a year since we met again

Honami Ichinose started to learn to write letters when she was ten years old. At that age when elementary school students of the same age were still worrying about looking at pictures and writing essays, she could already write several long words on snow-white letter paper. pages of text.

As soon as her mother came to Ichinose Honami to write a letter, she would move a chair and sit next to her. Mori Ao's light bulb hung above their heads, creating two shadows, one large and one small, on the wall. It stretched across half the room.

Ichinose Honami didn't even know the specific format of the letter at first. She could only find specious content in her limited reading and imitate the beginning, just like the beginning of a letter written by nine-year-old Fanka to her grandfather. That way:

"Dear grandpa, Konstantin Makarych! I am writing to you. I wish you a happy Christmas and God bless you with all the best."

Ten-year-old Honami Ichinose also wrote in the same way:

"Dear brother, Kitagawa Ryo! This is Ichinose Honami. It has been two weekends since you moved away. Because I am very unhappy now, I don't want you to be happy when you read this letter. That way, you who are happy won't know that I'm unhappy."

"Actually, what makes me even more unhappy is that when I'm unhappy, I can't go directly to your home and tell you that I'm unhappy. Instead, I have to write to you at this time and wait until you receive the letter. , maybe I have forgotten this matter, and when you reply again, I may have something new to tell you."

"I really don't like writing letters. I would rather look at your face and your eyes and say these words to you."

Ichinose's mother couldn't speak, let alone make a sound. She just waited quietly for Ichinose Honami to finish the letter, and then replied to her uneasy daughter:

"He will receive it. If there is a reply, I will bring it to you."

"Ryo will definitely reply, he said so."

After writing the letter, Ichinose Honami will return to her normal appearance. She obviously frowned and pouted when she just wrote, but as soon as she handed the letter to her mother, she would forget these little emotions.

"Oh, he said that."

Ichinose's mother calmly repeated her daughter's words, which was a child's promise that she could meet a thousand people in front of the elementary school in one day, promised to play together forever, and promised not to tell the secret. Yes, he promised to give you things from home, etc., does she believe it?

Of course she believes it. Is there any reason why she doesn't believe it?

In her opinion, if a woman has not believed in a man's promise, it can be said to be premature aging. Finding that the things she deeply believes in are slowly decaying is a necessary process of growth. She didn't have to stop it.

What's more, she actually had some illusions in her heart. When her mother looked at her daughter, who often asked her if she had received a reply after the letter was sent, she actually had a little bit of expectation, as if she wanted to make up for her past regrets. Same.

But unlike her daughter, as an adult, she actually knows better what happened to her neighbor Beichuan's family. After the family suffered an extremely tragic car accident, only the little boy who often played with her daughter After surviving, there were only a few rumors, saying that he had been adopted by other relatives of the Kitagawa family, but the location was the United States.

Therefore, unlike her daughter's confident posture, the mother was already half-despaired when she sent the letter to that address. She had also contacted someone with a warm mood in the past. She even They both have two children of each other, but that man is just a kite in her hand. All she can hold is such a thin thread. When the wind blows, he will be broken, and she There is nothing I can do about it.

What if the address he gave is fake?

What if this address doesn't exist at all?

What if he didn't take that promise seriously at all?

The mother was even more nervous than her daughter. She waited with fear and anticipation until she actually received a reply half a month later.

"Look, I just said what he said."

At that moment, my mother even ignored Ichinose Honami's somewhat awkward words. When she took out the letter from the mailbox, she was surrounded by a huge sense of tranquility and solidity. She handed the letter to To Ichinose Honami, he said in a joyful tone that he didn't even notice:

"Go and have a look."

The correspondence between Ichinose Honami and Kitagawa Ryo lasted for four years in total.

In the first year that Ichinose Honami entered the junior high school campus, her letters could no longer be sent to the old address. In fact, this was also a sign of things happening. In the last few months of correspondence, Honami Ichinose had already proposed to him to exchange contact information, or to use modern communication tools, whether it was a mobile phone or a computer, whether it was about his email address or mobile phone number, but the other party was always vague.

He disappeared silently, like a moon sinking into the water. Ichinose Hanami stretched out his hand and tried desperately to pick him up, but in the end, only the disappearing cloud shadow fell into his hand. Moonlight, the letter has been returned.

Ichinose Honami didn't want to believe this fact. She thought of the two of them hugging each other and crying when they were separated. Children wouldn't be able to shed so many tears all the time, and they would be even less willing to do so when they grow up. Crying for someone until her body was twitching, she didn't think he could laugh so many times with other friends and shed so many tears. Could it be that he would shed tears for a girl when he saw her?

impossible.

So Ichinose Honami struggled to continue writing letters to him, as if she was out of the scope of modern society, but now her mother no longer wants to see her write letters, nor is she willing to send letters for her anymore, but it doesn't matter. Honami Ichinose had already learned to go to the post office by herself. She put stamps on the letters and told the salesperson the address clearly. She only understood it after learning geography that it was the other side of the distant ocean.

In the first year when Ichinose Hanami didn't receive a reply, she wrote the most letters, one long letter a week. Ichinose Hanami's knowledge increased, and she became more and more adept at using various methods. She can also embellish her letters to express her feelings. She can also list the interesting things that happened in school clearly and clearly. Her writing skills are getting better and better, so the letters are getting longer and longer.

At that time, writing letters became Ichinose Honami's top priority during the week, as if she was fake during the day, whether at school or at home, and could only write to him at night when she was at her desk. She really came alive when she wrote the letter. If the moonlight tonight is very good, she will think that they should bathe in the same moonlight tonight. If her sister is noisy tonight, she will write it in the letter. Of course, she should not write too much about her younger sister. After all, Ichinose Honami would not allow other girls to appear too much in her letters to him, even her younger sister.

Ichinose Honami was much calmer than her mother imagined. She really didn't care about the letters being returned one after another, but she was still sending one after another towards that illusory address, and The frequency became faster and faster, and in the end I couldn't control it anymore.

Finally, a year later, Ichinose's mother forcefully stopped Ichinose Hanami from sending letters.

As for whether Ichinose Honami is still writing letters today, my mother feels that she has no control over it.

Seeing her daughter repeat her own mistakes, she felt sad that her daughter had been deceived by others when she was fifteen or sixteen years old, and was glad that her daughter had been deceived when she was fifteen or sixteen years old. She suddenly I have a wonderful feeling of sharing the same hardships with my daughter.

Her mother felt that after this incident, Ichinose Honami would grow up, and she was happy about it.

But there was a hint of regret in her heart. She had indeed expected something, but it was ultimately a luxury.

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

"Um, hello?"

Of course, Kitagawa Ryo didn't know what the girl who was a few steps away from him was thinking. He even wondered if he was blocking the other person's way, so he moved further to the side, but he suddenly thought of himself again. The purpose of this trip, he asked with some hesitation:

"Could it be that you know me?"

Kitagawa Ryo suddenly became excited. Because he had lost his past memories, even in the past two years, he had been working hard to learn interpersonal and social communication skills, but in some aspects, his emotional expression was still purely like that of a child. Likewise, he walked down the stairs to Ichinose Honami's side, stretched out his hand and placed Hotaru on the ground. As if he wanted the other party to see him more clearly, he moved closer and said:

"Sister, do you know me?"

In the past two years of living in the countryside, Kitagawa Liang has become accustomed to all kinds of affectionate addresses. He has relied on everyone in the village to survive. In his mind, in addition to "grandpa, aunt, uncle, uncle, aunt", he can use It seems that the only person who calls people of the same age is "sister".

Of course, it may also be related to the fact that he has no female friends of the same age. Although Eiichiro always boasts that he has a childhood sweetheart, Kitagawa Ryoya has never met him in person, but has only seen two photos of girls.

His eyes involuntarily turned to the chest of the girl in front of him. Originally, in Kitagawa Ryo's worldview, there was no girl more beautiful than Eiichiro's childhood sweetheart, but the girl he met today who seemed to know him felt even more beautiful. a bit.

"...you."

"I?"

"My name is Kitagawa Ryo, but this is a name I only learned recently."

Kitagawa Ryo looked at Hotaru, who was tugging at his trouser legs to express his dissatisfaction, and had no choice but to pick it up again and dance his paws towards the girl:

"This is my cat. Its name is Hotaru. That's the name I gave it."

After he finished speaking, he and Hotaru stared together, as if waiting for Ichinose Hanami to introduce herself. Ichinose Hanami stared into his eyes, which still had a pair of clean and beautiful black pupils, which reminded her of the purest The obsidian is just like the cat in his arms, revealing doubts in its agility.

"Wait a moment."

As Ichinose Honami said this, she began to search for something from the compartment of her shoulder bag. Even during this process, her eyes were fixed on Kitagawa Ryo, as if she was afraid of him next second. Just like running away.

Kitagawa Ryo just stood there obediently holding Hotaru in his arms. As he got closer, the faint green and orange aroma became more obvious.
