The road was still slippery in the early morning.
The mountain forests in Yamanashi Prefecture are layered on top of each other, with slender tree trunks and clear lines. The sky is full of greenery, and the mist lingers on it, just like the clouds.
The noisy engine of the motorcycle breaks through the tranquility of the mountains, facing the sun on the straight road, racing against the wind.
After arriving in downtown Tokyo, a few people rode along the road to the road in Yamanashi Prefecture, which is surrounded by green mountains.
Raku Sakakihara's helmet was filled with the noise of the wind. He held the handlebars tightly with his black-gloved hands, maintaining a speed of 80 yards per hour, and looked at the green motorcycle in the rearview mirror.
In the rearview mirror, Tianhai Qiu Liuli was riding a Kawasaki Shinobi 400, riding closely behind. She was riding in the same car with her. Tianhai Qi Mingyue, who was wearing the same helmet, was hugging her sister's slim waist from behind, as if she was afraid that she would fall from the car.
As if it suddenly fell off.
Ah Ling rode the pedals and carried her luggage, and she did not fall behind.
It’s snow
"Zhixue, Zhixue! You hug me too tightly!"
"."
Raku Sakakihara tried to call out to the innocent girl in the back seat, but because the speed was too fast and the wind noise was too loud, she had no response.
"What should I do?"
Sakakihara smiled bitterly.
From the moment she left downtown Tokyo, Amami no Yuki hugged her waist tightly in the back seat.
It was okay for her to hold her waist, but as the motorcycle moved, her upper body kept sliding towards her back.
"What's this?"
Even if Sakakihara Raku doesn't have to pay attention, she can still feel the inexplicable softness in those two places. Not to mention that she intentionally hugged herself so tightly, as if she was sleeping.
No wonder people say that this imitation racing motorcycle is a great tool for taking your girlfriend out for fun, because this thing will make the person in the back seat unable to stop sliding forward.
But this is nothing but suffering for Raku Sakakibara.
Through the rearview mirror, he could see Nanami Moon glaring at him. Even through his helmet, Sakakihara Raku could feel a coldness like a thorn in his back.
*
At noon, after riding for about two hours, everyone stopped at a hill next to the highway.
"Lunch time! Lunch time!"
Before even taking off her helmet, Suzu Sakakibara opened the curtain behind her to salute, took out the picnic cloth, and then took out the bento, self-heating food, and snacks prepared last night one by one.
Sandwiches, hotpots, cookies and chocolate bars are all available.
As the salute butler this time, Suzu Sakakihara happily distributed today’s lunch meals to everyone.
"Jiuliuli's, Qimingyue's, Zhixue's, and——"
When it was Sakakibara Raku's turn, Sakakibara Suzu snorted and took it away, planning not to give it to her again. "Huh, don't wait for me when I tell you to set off! Now you know how important I am! You can't eat without me."
Such good stuff!"
What are you talking about, this stinky little sister, holding the bento I made!
Sakakihara sat cross-legged on the tablecloth and coughed twice:
"Ah Ling, you can't say that, I slowed down the car specially to wait for you. Besides, didn't you complain about your status as a suitcase all the way? So now you are showing off with it?
”
"This moment, that moment! I am in charge of your lunch now, and now I want you - oh, my lunch! Don't grab it, Stinky Lele!"
"Okay, okay, let me have lunch in peace, I have to collect materials later."
"If you don't do it, you will bully me."
Seeing that the old girl wanted to snatch the bento back from his hand, Sakakibara put his hands behind his back.
She poked her head from the left, and the lunch box moved to the right. She poked her head to the right, and the lunch box moved to the left.
"Forget it, forget it! If I don't argue with you, I will be exhausted."
"You're exhausting yourself, couldn't you have given it to me earlier?"
"I don't want you to worry about it."
"Okay then, I'll eat under the tree over there."
"Whatever you want~"
Sakakihara Suzu didn't have the stamina to compete with her brother, a physical monster. After getting rid of the annoying brother who abandoned her in the morning, she just sat down on her butt, opened the buckle of the lunch box and started eating.
The food is delicious.
Meatballs, delicious!
Beef, delicious!
Small sausages, delicious!
Roasted baby potatoes, delicious!
All delicious.
However, before Sakakihara Suzu could happily take a few more bites, she was stunned.
Because she found that under a green metasequoia tree not far away, Amami Kururi and Sakakibara Raku were sitting together.
They were talking and laughing while taking food from each other.
We seemed to be having a great time chatting.
Tianhai Jiuliuli said that she had a poor appetite, was losing weight and did not eat meat. Then she gave him all the meat in her lunch box.
That guy, the smelly old man, said, "No, Liuli, you still have to eat more!", and then put some meat dishes back into Jiuliuli's lunch box.
The two of them were chatting with each other, and the more they chatted, the more animated they became, and they actually even fed each other vegetables!
Sakakihara Suzu is almost blinded by what she sees here!
It was so much that she wanted to break the disposable chopsticks in her hand.
"Are you two here to shoot a MV or are you here to fall in love?"
As a result, the two people over there just didn't hear it, and fed a piece of broccoli in front of Sakakibara Suzu.
"I'm going to go blind! By the way, why aren't you angry at Qi Mingyue?"
At the same time, Sakakibara Suzu, who was covering her eyes, also discovered that Nanami Nanami was still quietly eating lunch beside her, steadily.
Don’t you like my brother?
Don’t you have any sense of crisis?
"Something's wrong."
"What's wrong."
"According to convention, shouldn't the little fox be jealous of the big fox now? Why are you here eating lunch alone without saying a word!"
Tianhai Qimingyue ignored A Ling's instigation and didn't even raise her eyes. "He who knows the current affairs is a hero. Now is not the time for me to intervene in the past and let my sister be arrogant for a while."
"That's nice~ Qi Mingyue, you've never defeated Jiu Liuli, right? Don't you feel uncomfortable watching?"
Amami Nanamigetsu pinched Sakakihara Suzu's nose with the end of her chopsticks, "There's no way I can lose to my sister."
"It's impossible to lose? Then what are you doing now, and what is Jiu Liuli doing? Even Zhixue knows where to run and just be a light bulb quietly!"
"Okay, admit it, I feel a little uncomfortable." Nanami Nanami followed Sakakihara Suzu's words.
"Humph, you're a loser!" Suzu Sakakihara waved her hand, put her hands on her hips, and said angrily, "How can you endure this?! But I also understand that according to those boys, the so-called real youth is actually just a bunch of classmates.
We played game consoles and fought together, and then fell into silence when we witnessed the fight between the girl we liked and her boyfriend on the graduation trip. Now it’s just that the genders have been swapped.”
Amami Nanami took a small bite of the sausage and glanced at Sakakibara Suzu, "What do you think of me, sister-chan?"
"What I mean is that this so-called true youth can be completely rewritten now. You can't give in at any time in life! It's time to rise up and resist! Wait a minute, I'll be back soon!"
Amami Nanami finished eating the sausages on her chopsticks, and watched as Suzu Sakakihara ate the bento in one bite, walked over enthusiastically, and came back sadly.
"How?"
Suzu Sakakihara sat back down, picked up her bento again in frustration, and stuffed rice into her mouth.
"It seems the situation is not good."
"Stinky Lele, Stinky Lele, he actually told me to hide away! He also said that Jiuliuli finally agreed to feed him and he had to cherish this opportunity."
"After all, we are in love, and I am having a lively chat with my sister."
The subtext is that you were an annoying light bulb in the past.
"The snow is over there too!"
"My sister-in-law can definitely be used as a decoration."
"."
"Don't you like my brother?" Suzu Sakakihara looked at Amami Nanami again, the subtext was then why aren't you jealous?
"Sister-chan, don't try to trick me." Tianhai Qimingyue doesn't accept this trick at all.
"You don't like my brother anymore, do you? Are you planning to give up on what happened when you were a child?"
"Sister-chan."
"If you don't say it, don't say it. Why are you pretending to be cold?"
*
After lunch, the five-member team continued along the road towards Kyoto.
"Rush!" Suzu Sakakihara was the first to drive a motorcycle this time, shouting and rushing out.
Raku Sakakibara followed closely with Tenkai Yuki in the back seat, followed by Kuu who was driving, and Tenkai Nanimeigetsu who was holding a camera to take pictures of the farmland, rivers, farm and countryside scenery along the way.
The open road, the wind in front of you and the green hills surrounded by cedar trees are refreshing. On the road of this ordinary and clean small town in Japan, tile-roofed houses and long trams flash past from time to time on both sides.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Ah Ling's pedal fuel tank was only half empty.
Because no matter whether they are riding or sitting, they will not feel comfortable after running for a long time, so the few of them discussed taking a rest.
We happened to arrive at the beautiful Sagami Lake, and everyone stopped at a nearby gas station to rest.
Amami Nanamiyuki's camera was taken over by Sakakibara Raku and Sakakihara Suzu. Because Asuzu wanted to take a photo of her brother, only the two sisters were left behind to guard the motorcycle.
"Sister, when you were riding your bike just now, did you pay attention to the front?"
"What should you pay attention to?" Tianhai Jiuri was sitting on the seat of the motorcycle, her flaxen hair fluttering lightly in the breeze blowing from Sagami Lake.
Tianhai Qi Mingyue didn't say it clearly, "Sister, you won't think that my sister-in-law's previous confession to my brother was a joke, right?"
"." Tianhai Jiuliuli pondered for a long time, "I don't think so."
"Then what does sister think?"
"Very dangerous."
"Yes," Tianhai Qimingyue crossed her chest with her hands in agreement and nodded, "It's very dangerous."
"But in July, no matter what, my sister-in-law."
"Sister, my sister-in-law's character will only make her more dangerous. It's not like I don't know that my brother is the kind of person who is overflowing with sympathy."
"I hold a different opinion than you in Qiyue. If my brother is really overflowing with sympathy, then he should agree to you."
"Sister."
"Qiyue, I know what you are worried about, but my brother is really not the kind of person who is half-hearted. I believe him."
"."
*
My sister is an idiot now.
——This is something determined by the Seven Bright Moons in the Sky.
Of course, I can’t blame my sister, after all, the information my sister knows is already very behind.
But there is no doubt that in the eyes of Tianhai Qimingyue, Tianhai Zhixue is a potential risk and opponent.
Forget it, let’s talk to my brother.
Nanami Nanami found Raku Sakakibara who was filming MV material and pulled him aside to talk.
He opened his mouth and made a condition to him: "Let me sit behind you from now on."
".Why? So sudden."
"Why do you think you are? You and my sister-in-law are too close."
"That's true. Then go and make peace with Zhixue."
"It's better for my brother to talk about this."
"Let me tell you?"
Sakakihara couldn't help but take a look at Tenkai Snow standing on the bridge in a daze at the shore of Sagami Lake.
Then go back to meet the dull eyes of Tianhai Qimingyue.
Sakakibara understands what she means.
She will never allow a second threat to appear.
Because of what Zhixue confessed earlier, she was eliminating risks and reminding herself.
".Let me tell you, is that a little too cruel?"
Of course, cruelty does not refer to the issue of not letting Zhixue sit behind him, but it represents the overall attitude towards Zhixue in the future.
"My sister-in-law will most likely not think about that."
".You yourself said it was a high probability."
Sakakihara Raku finally figured it out when Yuki suddenly confessed to him that Qi and Jiu were not without countermeasures against Yuki, but that they had no scruples some time ago.
They don't want Zhixue to get too close to their lives.
Sakakibara was silent for a while.
Tianhai Qimingyue saw his silence and understood that he knew it well, "It seems that brother understands what my sister and I think."
"Yes," Raku Sakakihara agreed, "I understand what you are thinking, and it should indeed be this way."
"Then why does my brother seem reluctant?"
Why.?
Sakakihara suddenly remembered the paper cranes Yuki had folded for her, and her mother's diary.
"Brother, are you hesitating?" Tianhai Qimingyue seemed to be trying hard to see something from his eyes.
"No."
Sakakihara Raku doesn't want to hesitate now, and he doesn't like to hesitate. It's what he should do when he decides.
This is why he chose to say such excessive words to Qiyue decisively, asking her and Liuli to share his love.
"Then I'll go talk to her." Sakakibara cheered up a little, and at the same time sighed to Zhixue in his heart.
The snow is so heavy that I might not even be able to eat fried ice cream.
"Yeah." Tianhai Qimingyue saw that he understood and didn't ask any more questions.
"What should I do in life in the future? With the current situation, it's impossible for me not to have contact with her, right?"
"My sister and I have discussed it, and life is still the same as usual. But brother, don't just make fried ice cream for my little aunt, and don't just agree to what she wants. If she asks you for help, just leave the matter to me and my sister.
, or a bell, either."
"Got it"
Understand is understand.
But when Raku Sakakihara made up his mind, he also felt his own cruelty.
After all, it was Zhixue who took the initiative to get closer to her step by step, and taught her many, many things, but now he has to alienate her step by step
So how would this girl, who had neither common sense nor life experience, look at her from behind with a speechless expression?
For her, she is the first person in her life who makes her feel "good", right?
She likes to cook food for her, make fried ice cream for her, comb her hair by herself, and eat with her by herself.
For this reason, she even folded a paper crane and gave it to herself, even though she was ugly.
With her weak voice, even if she shouts "乐" countless times, she may not be able to get a response
Raku Sakakibara hung his helmet on the handlebar of his newly purchased motorcycle and walked behind Amami Noyuki, who was standing at the exit of the gas station staring blankly at Lake Sagami.
The girl was wearing a pure white everyday shirt that looked like a sailor uniform, her long beige hair was blowing slightly, the sky was reflected behind her, and she was looking at the Sagami Lake sparkling in the sun.
There was no expression on the girl's face. Her eyes staring at the end of the lake seemed to be looking into a deeper place that did not exist in the world.
Stopping behind and taking a look, the wind blows like this, and the ashes of the sky are wrapped with clouds floating in the distance. The girl's long hair and exquisite face are also blown by the breeze and become delicate and beautiful.
Sakakihara Raku felt like she was like a dandelion floating in the wind at this moment, disappearing in an instant if she wasn't paying attention.
"Yuki."
"."
"Yuki."
After shouting twice in a row, the girl responded.
"Yes." Tianhai Zhixue turned around and responded to him in a weak voice.
"I have something to tell you."
Tianhai Zhixue looked at him.
"We will continue to leave soon. Qi Mingyue wants to change places with you."
"Change positions?"
"You take Jiuliuli's car, and she comes and sits behind me."
Amami Nozuki was quiet for a while, during which she kept looking at Sakakibara Raku, "I just want to sit behind Raku."
"Why do you think so?"
"Like fun."
"Didn't I ask you to think carefully about the definition of like before?"
"I don't know, but I feel like sleeping when I hold Le in the car."
Want to sleep.?
The subtext is that you will feel at ease.
Zhixue sometimes doesn’t express her feelings in detail.
"That's why you hugged me so tightly just now, it turns out you were sleeping"
"Is it Xiaoqi who wants to change places with me?"
"Yes."
Tianhai Zhixue turned around and left.
"Wait a moment, Yuki." Raku Sakakibara called out to Yuki Amami, knowing that she was going to talk to Nanamigyue.
Tianhai Zhixue stopped and turned around to look at him again.
"You'd better change with Qi Mingyue, that's what I mean."
".Okay then."
"."
How could there be a girl as stupid as you!
Just agree to whatever I say! You are obviously very reluctant.
Sakakibara Raku felt like he was about to lose his temper. Could this be considered killing an ignorant girl?
Give her the feeling that she likes and wants to rely on, and then act like a hands-off shopkeeper, abandoning all hope for her in one sentence?
How is this different from abandoning Qi Mingyue as a child?
Originally, Sakakihara Raku felt guilty towards Qiyue because of this incident.
He was so anxious that he wanted to scratch his head.
I am really a merciful man, and I just take a little more care of the girls around me, just a little bit.
No, he really can't do this kind of random abandonment.
Otherwise, I just want to show off my cards to everyone.
Let them fight among themselves?
This is cultivating gu!
No, no, no.
Although he is a scumbag, he is not so scumbag that he is irresponsible.
He is still waiting for the day when he can hold Jiu on his left and Qi on his right, and kiss each other without them getting angry.
As for the snow.
Alas, the change of seats that Qi Mingyue just promised can be done, but for the rest, let’s keep things as usual.
As long as you pay attention, you should be fine
Sakakihara Rakusei stared at Amami no Yuki's pure white and exquisite face, she was looking at him cutely.
