The moon had risen at some point, but it was still blocked behind thick clouds,

Only a hazy light could be vaguely seen.

Occasionally, one or two rays of light pierced through the cotton-like clouds at the edge,

They quietly scattered beside the young man and woman,

When they were reflected on the calm pool water beside them,

The reflection of the cold white color of the water still startled the two of them.

Under the moonlight, Lilo Tsurumi saw that there was a thin layer of white frost on the surface of the pool that did not have any waves at all.

Even though the moonlight was weak,

It was even brighter under the moonlight,

The light of the white frost,

It looked bright and fragile.

The part of her face that was in contact with the other party's palm was so warm that it made people greedy,

It was as if the temptation was drowned by the gentle tide,

But Lilo Tsurumi still took a step back to open up a distance, and also broke away from Keigo Atobe's hand that was holding her face.

Her eyes circled the pool water and the ground under her feet, and she lowered her eyes,

When she spoke, her voice was so low that it was impossible to distinguish her tone, "You shouldn't be like this."

After the youth noticed her resistance,

He withdrew his hand without any unnaturalness and calmly crossed his arms in front of his chest,

Hearing this, he raised one eyebrow slightly.

Lilo Tsurumi did not wait for his response,

She continued to say to herself, "You shouldn't always have an indifferent attitude,

To do things that are clearly very excessive.

Whether it's when I fell in love with you, when you called me out to the mall that day, or just now,

You've always ignored the objective situation,

You only do things according to your own heart,

And ask others to cooperate with you. "

She suddenly raised her eyes and stared straight at him, her emotions becoming a little agitated, "But isn't it strange?

We quarreled, I proposed to break up, and I told you that this decision was very serious, but you acted as if nothing had happened, and still had the same attitude as when we were dating.

It was as if I didn't exist, no matter what I said or did, I couldn't shake your thoughts, and you wouldn't consider my feelings at all. "

She had never shown her fragile appearance, but her tone sounded very sad, "You only care about what you want, and you do have the ability to get what you want.

The evidence is my emotions, my thoughts, and even my actions. You can easily guide them.

But Jingwu, you can't just care about yourself and think that you're good to me … "

"… Just because I like you."

After the girl finished venting her frustrations, her expression relaxed a little.

She suddenly remembered a few days ago in the Kanagawa Prefecture, in a plainly decorated restaurant, the cynical silver-haired boy had said that she looked like she had a lot on her mind.

And that day on the train to Kanagawa, the window glass was cold to the touch.

Then, she came back to her senses. She looked at the young man in front of her with his arms crossed and his face as calm as water. Her heart calmed down inexplicably.

Those emotions that were light, drifting in the wind, swaying left and right, cut into pieces, and manipulated at will, suddenly had a substantial weight. They slowly settled down until they landed on the flat ground, showing a stable and silent posture.

Her heart was comforted by this calm silence, and she suddenly regretted saying those words. She no longer wanted to argue with the youth about who was right and who was wrong.

…

In the end, they still parted on bad terms.

After the girl slightly raised her voice and said all the things in her heart, the youth suddenly chuckled.

Perhaps it was more appropriate to call it a sneer or a sneer. He lowered his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth curved up, but there was no smile on his face. "Before you accuse me of my behavior and attitude, don't you think you should first put yourself in the right position and see clearly what caused this situation?

In your eyes, this situation is all me pestering endlessly. Isn't it because you irresponsibly broke up with me?! "

Lilo Tsurumi hadn't endured the youth's anger in a long time, because after she fell in love with him, she almost never did anything to make him angry. But in fact, a long time ago, angering him was the norm for them to get along.

Before the youth could finish suppressing his anger, she retorted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, "Irresponsible?!

So you abandoned your girlfriend and ran to England alone, and you might not come back until you graduate from university. You even asked her to stay in the same place and wait for you. Is that irresponsible?! "

When Keigo Atobe showed his displeasure, the temperature in his deep blue eyes would drop to the freezing point. If his displeasure reached the point of anger, it would condense into a dark and gloomy color.

Although this viscous dark blue that was as thick as ink was calm and unmoving on the surface, anyone who looked directly at it could easily feel the violent power contained within.

He clearly had a flamboyant personality, but when he was really angry, his entire person was like a frozen storm that wouldn't spread.

Just like at this moment, he let out a snort of laughter, still in that mocking tone. Then he lowered his voice and said to her word by word, "The future is unpredictable. I've never asked you to make any promises.

But now that I'm in love with you, in the face of technology and financial resources, distance is simply an insignificant matter. But you want to break up with me because of this problem that I can solve with just a flick of my finger. "

He suppressed his tone and emotions, and when he spoke, he was almost gnashing his teeth. "I can calculate the time difference and call you every day. I can fly back every holiday and even most weekends to accompany you. I can satisfy you whatever you want.

Even if you sincerely want to break up with me, I still plan to coax you back. "

"So these — all of my feelings and determination, in your eyes, are selfish and tyrannical?"

The girl had seen this pair of dark blue eyes condense into ice too many times, but she had never crossed paths with this kind of storm that didn't have a large range of influence, but had violent destructive power.

She was silent for a long time, looking at the purple-haired youth's face that was full of anger but didn't show any signs of injury. Her eyes slid across his fair and handsome face, and finally returned to those eyes that swept through the storm.

When Tsuru saw that Lilu had returned to that strange calmness, she slowly said, "If this completely different way of getting along with each other is not because of our own problems, but because of our love, then yes.

I didn't say that you're selfish and tyrannical. I just suddenly realized that I don't like this state. "

"The reason why I want to break up with you, I've already made it very clear last time."

"About what you just said, I don't think that phone calls and occasional meetings can maintain a relationship. I don't think that after you go abroad, we can create a new story between us.

And people have to move forward. The old things will never be as attractive as the new. "

"I've always thought that you're a very, very good person. Perhaps a lot of my worries can be solved if you want.

If they're all solved, then it might be good for us to continue being together. "

As the girl spoke, the muscles on her face moved, and she showed a reluctant smile. "It's just that I don't like it."

Her eyes were slightly red, and she repeated, "… I don't like this kind of relationship."

— — If being full of joy will always end up as a loss in the future, then there's nothing good about being full of joy.

She already had experience.

Keigo Atobe was expressionless. The storm in his eyes had already calmed down, but the remaining dark clouds had yet to disperse.

He didn't say anything, and turned to leave.

The girl stood in place for a while, and then she followed the path she came from, returning to the courtyard filled with the laughter of the teenagers.

The group of drunken brats didn't notice that something was wrong with her. People From Mukugaku still hugged her affectionately. Jijiro and Ryo Toyama were together.

For some reason, Hu Ryo had hooked up with each other again. The two of them were doing all sorts of things that were impossible when they were sober. Toyotomi Taro had a low threshold for laughter after getting drunk. He was laughing foolishly by himself the entire time. Shinobu Yoshi still looked very sober, if one ignored his .jpg like pose that he had not moved a single time for more than ten minutes. Chonghiro Kabuchi was nowhere to be seen. Akutagawa Yoshiro had been unconscious ever since the girl arrived. His arms were naturally hanging down and his face was smashed on the stone table. It made people worry that his sleeping posture would squash his face.

People From Mukugaku kept hugging her neck and chatting with her. Fortunately, although the teenager reeked of alcohol, he didn't stink.

He saw that Lilu was patiently chatting with him. Although drunk people don't speak logically, if she repeated the same thing three or four times in a row, or the fifth time, then she was too lazy to answer, he would not stop making a fuss, and would have to coax her for a long time.

While she was having a hard time dealing with People From Mukugaku, someone suddenly sat down beside her.

Lilo Tsurumi turned to look, and the tall teenager gave her a shy smile with a hint of drunkenness. Fengchang Taro shyly handed her a box. "Tsurumi-senpai, Merry Christmas." He stuttered.

People From Mukugaku saw this scene, and suddenly became quiet for a moment. Then, he began to repeat it like a broken record, "Merry Christmas ~ Merry Christmas ~ Merry Christmas ~ Merry Christmas!"

The girl took the box from the gray-haired teenager and looked around. She noticed that he was holding the presents and handing them over one by one. The others who received the presents were stuffing the presents into their backpacks, and the ones who didn't seem to be sober threw the presents on the table casually, making people worry that they would forget about the presents after a while.

It was the last Christmas that everyone could spend together. Of course, it was acceptable to have a party and drink. However, if everyone drank so much, it would be too much … She didn't expect that Jijiro would go crazy with the others.

She took out the present that she had prepared for Fengchang Taro from her backpack. Even though the gentle teenager was drunk, he was still so polite, and he repeatedly (or perhaps stuttered) thanked her many times.

Then, she passed the other presents to the corresponding people one by one.

The night gradually became darker. The butler brought a few servants to deliver hangover soup, but Keigo Atobe didn't appear again.

She glanced at Chonghiro Hua who came back from the bathroom. She wanted to ask him, but after thinking about it, she felt that he probably didn't know where Keigo Atobe was. So, she stopped walking towards the silent boy.
