On Saturday morning, Raku Sakakibara got up early as usual. He opened the window, put his hands on the window and let his mind go.
Seabirds fly over the blue sea of Tokyo Bay. In the morning after the rain, the air is fresher than imagined.
"Let's go out for a run."
After putting on her old sneakers and short sportswear, Sakakihara spent 5 minutes doing a simple wash.
Today’s goal is just five kilometers.
He can't run for too long yet and has to go home to prepare breakfast.
If it were my previous life, ah, I would have gotten up and exercised in my previous life.
All life is for exercise.
Because of this, as a city native, I was a little uncomfortable when I was reborn in the Japanese countryside.
Unintelligible language, strange etiquette, vegetables and potatoes for every meal...
The villagers are quite friendly and will visit frequently, but that's about it.
The most vivid memory of Raku Sakakibara was when his father carried him, who was less than one year old, to the fields to dig soil.
It was summer at that time, and the sun was blazing in the sky. After two hours, my father almost died from the sun.
My mother even had a quarrel with him because of this.
In the end, my mother forced me to return to my parents' home, leaving my cheap dad to compromise.
Alas, if I talk too much, I will shed tears.
From that time on, Sakakihara Raku understood that the father in this life was completely unreliable.
Now... I don’t know where he went.
If one day he can still remember that he still has several blood-related family members, he doesn’t know if he will come back to visit.
Raku Sakakihara shook off his hands, smoothed his hair in front of the mirror, and walked out of the bathroom.
"Good morning."
"Seven--" Sakakihara Raku saw the girl smiling at him and immediately took back what he was about to say, "Kururi."
Tianhai Jiuliuli was only wearing a very loose beige T-shirt, her face was slightly red, her long flaxen hair was hanging down her shoulders, the soft curve from her neck to her collarbone was as white as snow, and her chest moved slightly with her breathing.
It's quite solid, and you can see the youthfulness of the girl.
Because it was a home outfit, she didn't deliberately modify her lower body. She only wore a pair of shorts that didn't reach her knees, and her long, clean, white legs were exposed.
But even in such loose clothes, her excellent figure can be seen at a glance.
Jiuliuli's breasts seem to be a little bigger than Qimingyue's?
Not sure.
He remembered that Qi Mingyue seemed to have said that Jiu Liuli's bust was 82.
"Good morning, Jiuliuli."
Tianhai Jiuliuli's face can be said to be crystal clear and beautiful. When she stands in front of her, the clear and sweet girly body fragrance hits the nostrils, making people want to swallow their saliva and look at her more. p>
As usual, Tianhai Jiureli's face was full of brightness and vitality: "Today, I recognized him at a glance. It seems that Sakakibara-kun has begun to distinguish between me and Qimingyue..."
No, no, no, it's all because of her smile. Qi Mingyue will frown when she feels dissatisfied, which is completely different from the feeling Jiuliuli gives people.
Of course, if they had normal expressions, it would be really hard to tell them apart.
Same face, same hairstyle, same height, same measurements...the last one is an estimate.
If you add an identical school uniform, it will look like the opponent's clone.
Going to take the exam instead, I feel like I can’t recognize the disguise at all.
"Sakakibara-kun is dressed like this, are you going for a morning jog?"
"Yes."
"Can you take one with me?"
"Of course you can...but my goal today is 5 kilometers. Can you do it, Kuruuri?" Sakakihara Raku tried to say. He was worried that Tenkai Kuruuri wouldn't be able to hold on.
"No problem." Tianhai Jiuliuli agreed easily.
"No problem?"
Amami Kuruuri responded with dazzling eyebrows, and she pulled up the loose T-shirt on her body: "But Sakakibara-kun has to wait for me for a moment, I have to change clothes."
"Okay."
Raku Sakakihara stood in the living room, looking at his phone and waiting.
"Long wait."
Sakakibara immediately put away his phone and looked up at Amami Kuruuri who appeared in front of him.
Raised cuffs, pretty face, flaxen ponytail.
The ponytail tied up with a hairpin makes her look more neat and less casual.
Jiuliuli like this gives people a very wonderful feeling.
Just like Qi Mingyue's cold face showed a heartwarming smile to herself - this kind of strange contrast.
The two of them came downstairs together.
At six o'clock in the morning, the sky was still a little gloomy, and there was a faint mist filling the streets.
"Where is the target?" Tianhai Jiuliuli asked.
"Tokyo Tower."
Sakakibara raised his head while stretching. The landmark building in Tokyo was flashing red light at this time. "I have done some research. Starting from our place, it is about 30 kilometers from the shore of Tokyo Bay to Tokyo Tower."
The journey is 2.5 kilometers, and the return trip is exactly 5 kilometers, how about it?"
"Tokyo Tower?" Tianhai Jiureli looked up into the distance, then turned back and smiled confidently at Sakakibara: "Then Sakakibara-kun, don't be left behind."
"...?"
Before Sakakibara Raku could react, Amami Kuruuri ran out first.
Looking at the light back of the girl in front of him, Sakakihara couldn't help but smile and said:
"Even if you are my minister, you can't outrun me."
He shook his arms, breathed a sigh of relief, and changed his expression to a serious one.
He strode forward and rushed out, his rubber running shoes hitting the solid ground step by step, letting the cool wind vigorously flutter the sports short sleeves on his upper body.
The rhythm of the heart, the sound of breathing, and the refreshing feeling of the morning breeze blowing on the cheeks and spreading throughout the body.
He can feel it all in the streets of this city.
He looked at the back of the girl running in front of him and sped up.
Tianhai Jiuliuli ran ahead for a few seconds, and the two of them rushed a distance before they could get close.
......
Sakakibara himself looks down on girls running, because no matter in his previous life or in this life, no girl's running performance can surpass him.
And physiologically speaking, girls' bodies are generally not as strong as boys', and their hearts are smaller than men's.
Tianhai Jiuliuli, it’s not bad at all to be able to reach this point.
Looking from her side to the way she is running, there is an indescribable natural beauty.
The two kept the same pace and ran side by side. No one accelerated to overtake the other because of their competitiveness.
This time lasted for a long time, so that the pace of the two became more and more consistent, and they gradually adapted to each other's rhythm.
This kind of perfect tacit understanding seems to make the distance between each other much closer.
"Sakakibara-kun, how long have you been practicing running?" The speed was a bit fast, and Amami Kuruuri's voice seemed to be left behind by the wind.
The tiny hair on her forehead, blown by the wind, has an indescribable beauty.
"Ten years."
"It's been a long time!" Tianhai Jiuli was flying behind. She smiled happily.
Sakakihara looked back and wanted to continue to say something to her.
Suddenly, her face was illuminated.
On the coastline of Tokyo Bay, a gust of breeze lifted up the clouds that stretched thousands of miles, and the morning light pierced the mist, casting downwards a series of shining golden beams.
The bright sun that leaned out half of its body suddenly illuminated the entire blue sky.
The sun fell on the sea and on the city, and the dazzling golden light suddenly illuminated the entire city, making it suddenly bright.
"Sakakibara-kun."
Turning around, Raku Sakakihara suddenly noticed her smile in the sunshine, and couldn't believe that there could be such a coincidence in the world.
Seagulls flew beside her, her figure was parallel to the coastline of Tokyo Bay, her running figure passed the green trees on the street, and continued to move forward with vigor.
Even the hair on her forehead was sprinkled with a golden shimmer.
"What's wrong?"
"Want to see who reaches Tokyo Tower first?"
The girl's voice brought Sakakihara back to reality. He looked forward, smiled faintly, and walked towards the road under his feet:
"Happy to accompany you."
Raku Sakakihara ran happily on the road, maximizing his speed, but not only did Amami Kuruuri not fall behind, her light figure actually left him behind.
She definitely practiced on purpose.
Raku Sakakihara stared at her running back in front, her sweatshirt fluttering in the wind. Full of unwillingness to admit defeat, she continued to accelerate, and finally overtook her at an intersection.
But before she even ran the 200-meter straight line, Sakakihara Raku was passed by her again.
So powerful?!
"Come on!"
Seeing her smile fading away while waving, Raku Sakakihara's face faced the morning sun. While he felt a little happy, he couldn't help but sigh helplessly in his heart.
He relaxed his breathing, looked serious, and strode forward with all his strength.
The girl's back got closer and closer, until it was completely parallel to her again.
"Awesome."
"Jiuliuli is also very good!"
After complimenting each other, the two of them remained silent at the same time. They only stared at the front, stepped out with their feet, and stepped on the solid concrete ground step by step, letting the sunshine that broke through the blue clouds guide the road ahead.
The wind howled past their ears and their hair swayed lightly. The two of them ran out of the crowded city and arrived at the seaside.
The fresh fragrance of the morning spreads instantly. Looking up to the horizon, between the clouds, it is already a sunny day in April.
It feels surprisingly good to have someone running with you.
