Chapter 144 On the eve of the Summer Festival, Chizuru Asaba returns
A wonderful weekend ends with a group photo.
The photo shows a pair of young men and women. Bai Yuan looked at his girlfriend's profile tenderly. The girl's pink and tender face was flushed like an apple, and her face was slightly turned towards Bai Yuan.
The two made a 'yeah' gesture affectionately, smiled in front of the camera, and saved the picture and mood of this scene in the mobile phone.
The organ is good everywhere, but Kiyoaki Kashiwahara is always worried. It seems that as soon as she leaves on the front foot, Kiyoaki will be ambiguous with other girls on the back foot.
Bai Yuan could not help discovering her worries, and Wen Sheng comforted herself that this would never be the case.
Maybe it was the things that happened with Izumi Ryoka before, or maybe it was a while ago when she maintained an ambiguous relationship with Chizuru Asaba.
It is also possible that the courteous Amamiya and Liangzi Xuemei made her worry.
In short, Bai Yuan always took the trouble, patiently said love words over and over again, and only then did the organ feel relieved.
However, such a vigilant little girlfriend made Bai Yuan a little helpless. Although he had no thoughts of cheating, he was always worried about himself...
But Kashiwahara can only be thankful that Organ is not vigilant enough to check her phone, otherwise she would have to delete Izumi and Asagi's LINE.
Afternoon
After the rain, it cleared up and the sky was as clear as a wash.
The sky was clear and dark blue, cloudless, as clear as ice.
Sometimes, looking carefully, it is as deep as the sea.
The boy stood on the overhead corridor, raised his head slightly, the plane pierced through the clouds and passed above, and the humming sound resounded through the sky.
After a long time, I received a letter from Miss Miko.
Chizuru Asaba was wearing a white and red hakama priestess robe, standing by the sparkling lake under the clear mountain forest, her cute little feet wrapped in white socks were stepping on clogs, she folded her arms, raised her jaw slightly, and looked like a young lady In front of the camera is her beautiful face with a clever smile.
That smiling and proud expression is exactly the face that Bai Yuan is familiar with, the face he got along day and night a few days ago.
The scenery of Hokkaido is beautiful, and Miss Miko is even more beautiful.
This photo made Kiyoshi Kashiwahara sigh slightly - because of something on his mind.
The clear voice of Miss Miko was heard on LINE, and Bai Yuan listened repeatedly. It was clear that the two had been separated for less than a month, but Bai Yuan felt that the voice sounded both familiar and strange.
But he was very clear about this matter, he knew that it was not Chizuru Asaba who had changed, because the person who changed was himself.
【Hee hee, Qing Xian, do you miss me recently? 】
[I've been very busy recently, I don't understand things like shrines]
[In a few days, I will go back and bring you some specialties here. Although I am tired of eating, I must have never tasted the rustic Shiba Inu-kun. Thank you for my generosity]
【Qingxian, while I'm not here, can I have an affair with other women? 】
Asagi's gentle voice paused for a few seconds, then smiled and said in the voice:
[But you don't dare to come if you think about it! 】
[By the way, it will be my birthday in a few days, so I don't want to say that I didn't give you the opportunity to prepare in advance to please me...]
Perhaps it took too long to get in touch, Chizuru Asaba spoke a lot in the voice in a rare enthusiastic tone.
On the other side of the voice, birds chirped, insects chirped endlessly, and the breath of profound nature mixed with the melodious and melodious voice of Miss Miko came oncoming.
Brilliant sunlight pours down from the distant sky and spills into the overhead glass corridor.
The young man leaned on the edge of the corridor with his arms propped up, looking at the clear sky in the distance, his eyes blank.
The cold wind blowing from outside the woods blows the sleeves of the shirt.
Bathed in the incomparably bustling Tokyo jungle, it seemed as if she saw the Miko lady by the shore of Mingjing Lake, looking at her with a smile.
I pressed my finger on the voice button a few times, and then let it go.
The brewing words hovered around his mouth, listening to Asaba Chizuru's expectant and joyful words, those words could not be uttered after all.
【understood】
In the end, it was such a simple answer, but behind it was an unspeakable complexity.
Lying down on the corridor melancholy, he sighed, long and lingering, expressing the youth's anguish and troubled heart.
-
It is not known when Asaba Chizuru will come back.
The end of the final exam was uneventful, either joyful or heartbroken, and the appearance of the scumbags and top students did not make Bai Yuan, who was ranked 21st, feel fluctuating.
At this time, it is the middle of July.
It was in such an atmosphere of entanglement and distress that the Summer Festival came quietly.
The so-called summer festival, presumably some animation lovers are quite familiar with it, it is some activities or festivals held in summer, which is also a traditional Japanese festival, the time is from mid-July to late August every year, including fireworks display, etc., and other activities , Summer Festival does not refer to a single activity, but a general term.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is similar to a temple fair.
In the movie "Your Name" by Makoto Shinkai, Mitsuha Miyamizu cuts her hair short and wears a light blue yukata to participate in the summer festival.
Almost all campus animations have summer festivals.
In reality, for such a grand festival, there will be many famous "summer festivals" in various places
For example, the Nebuta Festival in Aomori, the Gion Festival in Kyoto, the three major festivals in Edo in Tokyo, the Tanabata Festival in Sendai, etc. Not only the local residents look forward to it, but even gamers from all over the world come to participate.
Just like in anime, young men and women will wear traditional clothing similar to kimono, which is more festive, but don't get me wrong, this is a 'yukata' not a kimono.
'Yukata' is casual clothes worn by Japanese civilians after taking a bath in the past. It is different from complicated and expensive kimonos. It is lighter, cooler and cheaper. It is the best choice for people to wear in summer.
Japanese traditional culture has been popular for a long time, so even today, you can still see many yukatas mixed with ordinary clothes on the streets in summer.
Compared with the casualness of boys, whenever the summer festival comes, it is a good time for girls to dress up beautifully. Major shopping malls will launch bathrobes with various patterns and styles, and they must be bought from head to toe.
Whether it is girls' hairstyle decoration, small handbags, clogs under their feet, or even beautiful manicures, they must be meticulous, filled with a strong summer atmosphere, and walking on the street is like a beautiful landscape.
The day before the Summer Festival, July [-]th, Friday.
Who wouldn't want to spend such a joyful festival with their girlfriends?
But today the organ is not coming, the reason is to ask for leave.
In the evening, the festive atmosphere became stronger, and Bai Yuan called his girlfriend.
"Xia Zhi."
"Hmm." The organ responded softly.
"where?"
"I'm at my hometown."
"Back home?"
"Yeah, I'm going back to the countryside with Aunt Ling these two days. I have some things to deal with. What's the matter?"
Organ asked curiously while holding the phone while she was sitting on the Shinkansen train.
"Well, it's okay, I wanted to invite you to participate in the summer festival at Meiji Shrine tomorrow..."
When Bai Yuan heard that the organ hadn't come back, he couldn't help but said in a disappointed tone.
"Hee hee, I probably won't be able to come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, next time!"
Sitting on the train, a sly smile flashed in the corner of Xia Zhi's eyes, she reckoned that the affairs of her hometown could be settled before four o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Then take the Shinkansen back and catch up with the summer festival at Meiji Shrine.
At that time, when he appeared in front of Bai Yuan, he must have been even more pleasantly surprised.
Thinking of this, the girl with picturesque eyebrows showed a sweet smile.
On the side, Aunt Ling couldn't help joking, did she have a boyfriend recently?
Organ was taken aback, and hurriedly waved her hands, but unexpectedly, Aunt Ling smiled and said that she had already seen that she and Bai Yuan were dating.
The girl faltered awkwardly, looking at the scenery outside the window, suddenly looking forward to the early arrival of tomorrow.
At that time, she will dress up meticulously, and she will appear in front of the boy in a beautiful bathrobe.
Thinking of Kashiwahara showing a surprised and obsessed expression at that time, embracing himself with more enthusiasm, and talking sweet words of love, the corner of Organ's mouth raised a smile.
Because she knows that the boy is the only one in her own world.
-
Saturday is also the beginning of the summer festival.
Today, Kashiwahara had no intention of practicing swordsmanship, and was lazily sitting on the wooden rattan chair in the courtyard, holding a copy of "Kafka on the Shore" in his hand, and he didn't bother to read it anyway.
The clouds are light and the wind is light, approaching noon, and the flowers and willows pass by the Qianchuan River.
The huge courtyard was empty.
This courtyard has long been transformed into an old Japanese style by Chizuru Asaba, and there is a clear sound from time to time in a secluded pool.
As early as in the old countryside, a bamboo tube called "Zhulu" or "Luwei" moved through the principle of leverage, and stored a certain amount of running water to shift the balance between the two ends of the bamboo tube, and then one end of the bamboo tube hit the stone to make a sound. Used to disturb birds that fall into the yard.
Later, in the Japanese garden, a landscape design was formed, and the sound of bamboo that drove away birds was transformed into a performance of purifying the soul through the two pure symbols of bamboo and water.
Although the dojo, which covers an area of nearly a thousand square meters, is a considerable fortune, at certain moments, it is also very lonely.
Blessed to his heart, Bai Yuan suddenly got up and punched a set of eight punches, and then sat lazily on the ground with a slap.
He raised his head and looked at the clear sky. He heard the sound of crowds on the street.
The summer festival has become extremely lively.
But he was bored.
"How about going to find Yamazaki?"
Thinking that his buddy Yamazaki Masato must be lying at home like salted fish at this time, Kashiwahara smiled and dialed the phone.
Sure enough, at [-]:[-] in the morning, Yamazaki hadn't woken up yet, and when Kashiwahara said he was coming, he extended a warm welcome.
When Kashiwahara changed into casual clothes and came to Yamazaki's house, his buddies were a little surprised:
"Bai Yuan, why come to me today when you have time, and not with your girlfriend?"
As one of the few good friends, Yamazaki naturally knew about Kashiwahara's relationship with the organ, and when he learned about it, he was very surprised, envious and jealous.
"She said that she would not be able to come back to her hometown for a while."
Kashiwahara said helplessly, and followed Yamazaki to the entrance to change his shoes. When Yamazaki's mother saw her son's classmate coming, she had already cut a plate of fruit and greeted her with a smile.
After hurriedly thanking him for being polite, Kashiwahara took a look at Yamazaki's residence, which was a standard one-household building for the middle class.
A long time ago, when he was in China, he was envious of having such a "villa" in a big city, with a courtyard, in a busy city.
However, such one-household buildings similar to villas are everywhere in Japan, and they are commonplace. On the contrary, living in high-level high-end apartments is a symbol of the rich.
"Go to my room and play! There's nothing interesting downstairs..."
"it is good."
Like most boys, Yamazaki's room is messy, but it's okay, not too outrageous. Kashiwahara estimated that Yamazaki's mother often helped clean it up. Otherwise, with Yamazaki's carefree appearance on weekdays, this messy picture is a compliment up.
There are also a few manga scattered on the quilt, including JOJO's Bizarre Adventure, Death Note, Naruto, and so on. What's outrageous is that there is even a girl's manga mixed in.
"Cough cough..."
Yamazaki immediately put it away in embarrassment, and explained with a blushing face, "Then, that was the last time a friend of mine left my house..."
"I know."
Bai Yuan is too lazy to complain, there is nothing shy about boys who are five-year-old and three-year-old when they read shoujo manga, I understand you.
Who hasn't pinched a girl's heart yet.
The friend took out Coke soda, potato chips, peas and other snacks from the side drawer, sat down in front of a Nintendo Wii home console, picked up the handle and shook it, and grinned:
"Want a handful?"
"Row."
I came to Yamazaki's house just to pass the time, and five or six hours passed in a blink of an eye after this "come here".
Shaking his dry arm, Kashiwahara stretched his waist and put down the controller, played "Monster Hunter", "Resident Evil", "Super Mario" for five or six hours in a row, and then played "Super Smash Bros."
In the end, Masato Yamazaki got tired of playing, and Kashiwahara himself was playing "The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess" attentively. He had already heard of the Zelda series, which is "one of the highest comprehensively rated game series", and it was not bad.
Kashiwahara was lying on the ground bored, looking at the half-open window, and asked Yamazaki if he was going to the summer festival tonight.
"There's nothing to go alone, and I'm too lazy to go, Kashiwahara wants to come with me?" Yamazaki lazily chewed on potato chips, took a sip of soda and said happily.
"do not."
Thank you Kashiwahara for not being sensitive, if you go shopping with your sister, it can be called a romantic festival.
But with friends on this kind of festival... Bai Yuan shuddered, the picture full of gay love, really wants to become gay friends!
When he went downstairs, he declined Yamazaki's mother's invitation to dinner, thanked her with a smile, and Kashiwahara put on his shoes and started to go home.
In the evening, the sky was getting darker, and the streets of Tokyo were already immersed in a sea of jubilation. In addition to the festivals outside the Meiji Shrine, when Kashiwahara passed the street, he also saw some people wearing sacrificial clothes and carrying Shinkyo bridges waiting on the side of the road. It's time for singing and dancing.
On the street, many young people are wearing beautiful yukata or traditional costumes, dreaming of returning to Edo, they are talking and laughing, and the joyful and happy atmosphere makes Kashiwahara curl his lips, put his hands in his pockets, and walk towards the Adachi area.
An hour ago, the LINE sent to Fengqin Xiazhi has not been replied. It seems that she really can't come these two days.
What a disappointment.
Bai Yuan sighed softly, no matter what, there is nothing wrong with participating in the future.
You can't go to Miss Hanyu to visit the summer festival just because the organ is not there, right?
Although I am looking forward to Hanyu sister's gentle and charming figure in a yukata, but considering that I have a girlfriend, I still forget it.
Well, be specific!
After Kashiwahara finished encouraging himself, he felt that it was another day for an innocent boy in Tokyo.
Stepping through the neon streets, the radiant scenery is gradually left behind.
Coincidentally, when he returned to Kuroishi Town, Kashiwahara saw the uncle of the ramen shop next door put on a yukata, and took his four and a half year old child out together.
"Kaihara, don't stay at home for the Summer Festival!"
The uncle greeted with a smile.
Bai Yuan smiled and nodded in response, took a few quick steps, and walked towards his dojo.
However, when the young man saw a black car parked not far from the ashram, he was stunned with a smile.
The place where the bodyguards live next door to the dojo is also lit.
It seems...a question I don't want to think about...
Chizuru Asaba finally came back.
Many thoughts flashed through my mind in an instant, the first thought was that I have never brought the organ home these days, so there should be no abnormalities for Qian Yu to notice.
The second point is that I am fortunate that the organ is still in my hometown and has no time to come back.
The last point is...
How should I have a showdown with Chizuru Asaba?
If it can't be handled well, there will be a violent storm sweeping through the dark clouds, and the scene can definitely be called terrible.
The 17-year-old boy stood in front of the dojo, adjusted his mentality, and took a deep breath.
Open the door and walk in.
PS: I found some reference pictures of the heroines and supporting characters, and uploaded them to the Qidian App profile. If you are interested, you can take a look. I think it fits well. In addition, thanks to Silvana and Shuomao for their rewards, Thank you... (Quickly give the characters a thumbs up)
