Chapter 297 Love stops like rain (5)

Why is Asai Mao’s name on the stone tablet?

At this time, Natsume Naoki's thoughts were a little confused.

According to Amamiya Chizuru, the names engraved on the stone tablet are the names of people who died in a car accident ten years ago.

Same name and surname?

So far, he couldn't think of a better explanation, so he comforted himself in his heart.

But there is no way for people to deceive themselves. His intuition told him that this was just self-deception.

Chizuru Amamiya was still crying in her arms, crying very sadly.

That's right, after all, it was his closest relative who passed away, and he didn't know when he would be moved to tears, not to mention that he was by her side now.

Perhaps in the eyes of Amamiya Chizuru, she is now a harbor that she can rely on, so she vents her discomfort unabashedly.

Thinking of this, Natsume Naoki hugged her tightly again.

The warmth is mutual, and so is the reliance at this moment.

Mao...

He couldn't bear to look at the stone tablet anymore, as if he was escaping from something.

"Why did there be a car accident that day?" Amamiya Chizuru cried out of breath, sobbing: "Why did my mother die..."

At this time, any words were pale. Natsume Naoki just stroked the back of her head gently with his hand, hoping to convey his comfort at this moment.

Suddenly a drop of rain fell from the sky, dripped behind his ear, and flowed down his cheek and chin.

This time it's not an illusion.

Looking up at the sky, low dark clouds were already pressing down, accompanied by the faint sound of thunder.

First, their roars in the distance gradually came closer, then the grass beside their feet rustled, and finally even the clothes on their bodies began to make noises.

Freezing rain is coming.

"Let's go back." Natsume Naoki said to Amamiya Chizuru in his arms, and then stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on her face.

But it soon got wet again from the rain.

In the end, even Chizuru Amamiya couldn't tell what was on her face.

"Yeah." She nodded, her shoulders still shrugging slightly.

I don't know if it's because of the coldness caused by the freezing rain or because of my sadness.

"Let's find a place to take shelter from the rain." She said, "We can't let you get wet."

Then he opened the umbrella and tried to raise his feet to protect him from the rain.

Natsume Naoki looked up at the barren grassland where he came from. The raindrops fell in the distance and shattered into mist, making the dim world hazy.

He bent down and hugged her directly.

When we walked back, the grass was full of wet soil.

The shoes on her feet are not suitable for walking on this kind of road. Firstly, she cannot walk fast, and secondly, she will definitely get dirty.

In this way, he held Amamiya Chizuru, and Amamiya Chizuru held the umbrella handle in his arms, and the umbrella covered the two of them.

Under the dim sky, there were no people around. There was a large expanse of grassland in front of them and the roaring highway behind them.

It seems like there are only two of them left in this world who can depend on each other.

Natsume Naoki put his hands around her neck and thighs, using a princess hug posture, looking for places to stay.

The rain gradually became heavier, and the grassland became muddy. If you are not careful, you may slip, and Amamiya Chizuru may be injured.

So he had to focus and forget about the sound of rain around him, how far away he was from returning to the town, and the thunder above his head.

Just focus on your feet, step by step, and use your eyes to find the next place to stay.

Chizuru Amamiya tried her best to hold the umbrella in place with her hands, trying not to get wet in the strong wind and heavy rain.

Occasionally, he would reach out his little hand to wipe away the rain on his cheeks.

Natsume Naoki is very attentive, serious men are the most handsome, especially when they are protecting girls.

She just looked at him like this, without any fear.

In fact, she is not only afraid of heights, but also afraid of thunderstorms.

Rain and thunder like today.

But at this moment, Amamiya Chizuru felt that it would be great if the grassland stretched all the way to the horizon, and the heavy rain would not stop like this.

I can always be held in his arms and protect him from the wind and rain.

Soon they were back on the railway, the whistle was still far away, and the green light was unimpeded.

The moss beside the railway tracks is gradually submerged, and the moisture from the broken rainwater enters the body.

Even the mood was equally bad and desolate.

Natsume Naoki didn't have the same sentimentality as Amamiya Chizuru in his arms, he just felt absent-minded.

The name on the stone tablet...

Mao...

I don't know how to miss you, I only know how to cry.

Unlike other people, thoughts surge like waves.

Crossing the railway tracks and returning to the outskirts of the town, blurry lights intersected at the intersection. A woman stood at the door of the flower shop at the end of the alley, with red roses dripping from her hands.

His steps were getting faster and faster, and under his feet was the reflection of the crushed town.

There were no pedestrians on the road, only the poor little kitten was hiding in a cardboard box under the trash can and shivering.

Looks like an abandoned doll.

The branches behind the wall lowered the figures, and dead leaves fell on the umbrellas of the two of them.

"There's a cafe in front."

Natsume Naoki seemed to have found a savior. At the end of the T-intersection, he saw a small courtyard with low grape vines and wall-creeping tigers.

When the two people walked through the rain curtain and stood at the door, there was a noise.

"I've had enough of you!" It was a woman.

Then she opened the door and came out. Without looking at Natsume Naoki and the other two, she wiped her tears and ran into the rain.

"Hey, Ryoko!"

Another man rushed out, holding an umbrella in his hand. He ran after the woman and tried to open the umbrella, but his hair was already soaked by the rain.

Natsume Naoki didn't look back. He just wanted to find a warmer place to take shelter from the rain. There should be hot coffee in the cafe, which would be the best thing for Amamiya Chizuru.

She was shaking, he could feel it.

"excuse me!"

He pressed his foot against the rebounding door and ducked into the doorway.

When he put Amamiya Chizuru down, most of his body was already soaked. Amamiya Chizuru was protected in his arms, but her sleeves were only wet.

"Go find a place to sit by the heater." He took the umbrella from Amamiya Chizuru, "Take off your shoes."

After he finished speaking, he came to the door, shook the umbrella clean, and then hung it on the rain gear rack at the door.

"What do you need?"

The owner of the cafe was a middle-aged woman, and she felt strange about the customers who came to visit her on a rainy day.

"Ah, wait for me to take a look at the menu." Natsume Naoki turned around and took a good look at the cafe.

A very cozy little cafe, different from the cafes in Tokyo or Otaru.

It was like entering a friend's home. There were three large tables in the whole room, which were kotatsu-type hearth tables. A group of people gathered around and put their feet under the quilt, which was very warm.

As a living creature, as long as the feet are not cold, the whole body will be warm.

The wall behind the boss's counter is filled with a dazzling array of bottles and cans.

It can be seen that it is a coffee shop that specializes in hand-brewed coffee.

"Are you only able to accommodate three tables of guests at a time?"

Natsume Naoki murmured to himself, and then saw that Amamiya Chizuru had found a place to sit on the kotatsu, put her feet in and then lay on the table as if she had melted.

He came and sat down opposite Amamiya Chizuru, and the boss brought the menu over.

"Let's see what you want to drink." Natsume Naoki pushed the menu in front of Amamiya Chizuru.

"Cappuccino, I want it hot..."

Amamiya Chizuru didn't even raise her head, she just lay on the table with her eyes closed, looking like she was lazily enjoying herself.

Where is the little girl lying in her arms crying loudly?

He really looks like a child, but his heart is more delicate than that of an adult.

Natsume Naoki was a little helpless: "There is no Italian style, only hand rush."

The boss quickly smiled and said: "Italian style can also be made, but... can you two please pay first?"

Natsume Naoki turned to look at the boss. She immediately waved her hand and explained awkwardly: "It's like this. Originally, our family's rule was to pay after drinking, but just now a couple had a fight while they were drinking, and then...

"

How miserable.

He was thinking in his mind.

Just as she was about to say something, Amamiya Chizuru raised her head with her hands raised, and shouted with a flat mouth: "I gave the money to those two people just now, and I want to drink cappuccino!"
