As soon as the connection was connected, my mother, who was still ill, spoke cautiously:

"The landlord has contacted me. Those rooms are properties that the Beichuan family bought before, so we have to discuss the compensation issue with the Beichuan family themselves... You also know that the relationship between mother and him is not good, and now the family is really I don't have any extra money, Fanbo, Fanbo go and talk to him, just for the sake of being a neighbor for more than ten years."

"Well, I'll go talk to Ryo."

Ichinose Honami sniffed, but his tone still inevitably had a hint of nasality.

"... That's good. It's not what my mother said. In fact, Fanbo shouldn't have gone there. This incident could have been avoided. Fortunately, the house was empty. If it burned down, our house and the downstairs would be destroyed. If your neighbor is burned, it is a crime. Then how will others view the Ichinose family and Honami?"

The mother's voice over there was obviously relieved, and then she continued to educate Ichinose Honami as before.

"Mom, take a good rest first, I have something to do."

For the first time, Ichinose Honami felt irritated by her mother's words. She hung up the phone after saying this.

"I wish you could respond like this before."

Karuizawa Megumi easily heard the entire conversation in the silent room, and she said sarcastically.

She also wanted to take this opportunity to carve out Ichinose Honami's heart. Karuizawa Megumi felt that she would never understand him.

But she soon discovered that Ichinose Honami had no intention of talking anymore. She just sat there with her eyes closed as if she was a lost soul, and then she started to cry.

To be fair, although Karuizawa Megumi was a little uncomfortable with Ichinose Honami, when she actually saw Ichinose Honami sobbing in front of her, she couldn't bear it for a while, but then she felt... Kunise Hanami's behavior is really ridiculous. Kitagawa Ryo gave her so many opportunities, but she pushed them away time and time again.

In my heart, I thought this crying girl was ridiculous, but tears came out of my own eyes unconsciously, as if sad emotions could spread to each other, obviously they were for different reasons.

But Karuizawa Megumi suddenly felt a strange pleasure. She looked at the tearful Hanami Ichinose and felt her pain and sadness. She felt inexplicably better. The more Ichinose hurt, the more she felt. The more comfortable she feels, it is said that if a person's emotions are really heartbreaking, they can be conveyed to the people around them, and now, Karuizawa Megumi felt the emotions of Ichinose Honami radiating towards her.

This kind of pleasure made her unconsciously approach Ichinose Honami, accept the other's cry on her shoulders, and hold her in her arms condescendingly. Their identities were suddenly exchanged, as if Megumi Karuizawa is the leader, and Honami Ichinose becomes the one being bullied.

Honami Ichinose really hugged Karuizawa Megumi. She no longer cared who was hugging her. She just wanted to cry happily. In fact, she had already cried yesterday. After that, Ichinose Honami began to fear that she would cry now. She felt that tears were the seal that restricted her growth. Every time she cried, it would be harder to laugh like before.

"If Ichinose-san had been decisive earlier and followed his inner thoughts, whether it was a clear promise or rejection, it would not be like this."

Karuizawa Megumi lowered his head to her ear and said some "comforting" words. Of course she understood that these words of pretense of comfort were actually just another cut in the other person's wound. Ichinose Honami was better than before. She cried even harder, and for a moment, Karuizawa Megumi subconsciously asked herself: Did she do it on purpose? If it was intentional, why was it done?

However, at this time, Karuizawa Megumi found that her mind and body seemed to have been separated. She could no longer control her mouth, as if it suddenly separated from her and became an independent organ. She was still cutting the wound downwards. open:

"Actually, senior has been planning the date with you that day for several days. The grandest ceremony has been prepared on the top of the mountain that you have never been to. How could the Beichuan family be contracting any projects there? Those people are just It's just someone who happens to be on standby up there."

Her effect was so good that it even scared Karuizawa Megumi. She had not yet adapted to this change of role. She was like an actor who temporarily added words and changed words on stage. The applause from the audience below was too warm. She didn't know what to do anymore.

Karuizawa Megumi realized that she might have lit the fuse of a firework, but she didn't know how it would burn next and what kind of sparks would bloom in the sky. She just instinctively felt that she would light the fuse of the firework. Taking a step towards a more complicated direction, what she didn't expect was that she was still speaking:

"Actually, I kind of want to know how Ichinose-san felt when she heard her senior say he was my boyfriend on the phone."

Karuizawa Megumi felt like she was crazy, but she thought about how she was in the hospital two days ago, biting her lip and watching the interaction between Ichinose Honami and Kitagawa Ryo, and she suddenly felt more at ease. She felt that she looked like a TV series She was a bad woman who destroyed other people's families, but the next moment she sneered and denied it.

"Ichinose-san is a girl who never gives up."

"But it's better to give up on him now, because he can't wait any longer."

"To destroy a person, psychological violence seems to be more suitable than physical violence. Ichinose-san always accommodates himself for others, but it is obvious that he has been hurting Kitagawa-senpai's heart."

"...do not talk."

The girl in her arms whispered for mercy. Her voice was trembling and weak to the extreme, as if she was about to fall down in the next second.

Karuizawa Megumi smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"No, you must say it. Ichinose-san cannot escape, nor can he escape. The reality you are escaping from, and the things you cover up will one day be unearthed. Let me, who has nothing to do with you, be this evil person." The most appropriate."

[This was originally the role she gave me. ]

Suffocating depression tightly surrounded Ichinose Honami, and the uneasy emotions seeped into the body and penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

"Kitagawa-senpai has always wanted you to believe in yourself. What he wants to hear is your idea. If it is not Ichinose Honami's true words, acceptance and rejection are meaningless. They are just subconscious evasion and lies."

Just like a sharp knife piercing a pustule, sharp words hurt more than the knife, and the ugly and disgusting negative emotions gush out like pus.

"You never said what you thought from beginning to end, that's why you adopted such an attitude."

"...I know."

What spewed out from the pale lips were equally pale and despairing words.

"...I already knew it."

All, all, everything.

Honami Ichinose can be honest with everyone, but she can lie to him over and over again.

"Would it be better for you to realize this reality sooner?"

"...do not talk."

The original courage and determination are drying up, and the original determination and expectations are wilting.

Biting her lips, she tried her best to endure the emotions welling up from her heart.

"Actually, you knew this as early as a year ago. Although you knew deep down in your heart that it was impossible, you comforted yourself to give up, and at the same time, you always looked forward to the possibility. During this year, you tortured yourself."

"I..."

I want to argue, I want to say that I have no other ideas, I want to admit that I gave up after knowing the truth.

But he still couldn't say it out loud. Perhaps just like what Karuizawa Megumi said, even at this time, Ichinose Hanami still held a little bit of expectation in his heart, looking forward to that little bit of possibility.

Is this too despicable an idea?

"Ichinose-san, if senior confesses his love to you again at the fireworks display two days later, will you accept it?"

Won't.

The answer gradually became clear in my heart but I couldn't say it out loud, as if once I admitted it, the fortress in my heart would collapse like dominoes.

Fierce, anxious emotions, wanting to reach out and touch that glimmer of possibility in nothingness.

"he..."

"He probably won't. He obviously knows me and he can understand."

Arguing, struggling, begging for mercy.

Karuizawa Megumi broke Ichinose Honami's last defense without hesitation.

"I think it's just a matter of priorities."

Cruel words approached quietly from behind, and Ichinose Honami even wanted to cover her ears for a moment, because she was afraid to hear the next words.

But the voice still sounds, and this is the reality that cannot be changed.

"If Ichinose Honami had put Kitagawa-senpai first in his heart, this situation would not have happened."

"If Ichinose Honami had put himself first in his heart and made judgments based on his own heart, this situation would not have happened."

Dull, bitter breathing.

Karuizawa Megumi's tone became increasingly calm, as if a judge had sentenced someone to death.

"People who don't love themselves or others are not qualified to fall in love with others."

Show no mercy.

"I like to think that we had it all (once thought we were made for each other)"

"We drew a map to a better place (together we draw a better blueprint for the future)"

The ringtone of Karuizawa Megumi's cell phone suddenly rang, interrupting the confrontation between the two with a tough gesture. Karuizawa Megumi clicked on it and saw Kitagawa Ryo's profile picture, because she and Karuizawa Megumi were still in a fake relationship. , his avatar is the same as Karuizawa Megumi, and the two were pictured drinking a smoothie together at a ramen shop.

"Hey, hey, why did you answer the phone?"

Under the pleading eyes of Ichinose Honami, Karuizawa Megumi still turned on the speakerphone, and the next second Ryo Kitagawa's voice came over.

"Liang, Liang is the one. When did you wake up? How is your health? Is the injury serious?"

Karuizawa Megumi, who had been so aggressive just now, suddenly stammered.

"Hey, it's okay. I just took two puffs of cigarettes. There wasn't much fire in the first place. The quilt was almost extinguished after it was burned."

Kitagawa Ryo's voice is indeed full of energy, which adds a bit of credibility to his words.

"By the way, I finally managed to understand my mother's work and asked her to allow me to come out to play during the fireworks display tomorrow. How are you doing with your preparations?"

He suddenly lowered his voice:

"Honpo isn't next to you, is he?"

"...Not here."

"That's good. I'll call her later. I want to tell her that I just found out today that the paper crane she gave me before was taken apart, and there were twelve identical sentences written inside. "I like it." You', haha, you're obviously a tsundere and you still don't admit it."

"Well, I'm ready for what senior has assigned me. Is it still going as planned?"

There was silence for a while, and then Kitagawa Ryo's pretending to be relaxed laughter came:

"Actually, what I want to tell Hui is that there is no need to prepare. Kitagawa Ryo's confession plan has been cancelled."

"�G?"

"My mother came back this time to take me abroad. If I delay it, it will only last one day. I will leave Tokyo the morning after tomorrow."

"A confession before separation is not necessary for two people."

"Before I can't give her happiness for sure, let's let the confession plan be shelved for a while. Anyway, we will just wait."

"so."

"so?"

"So Megumi Karuizawa's career as an actor is coming to an end. Although we haven't known each other for a long time, I owe you a lot of care."

"What's the matter? It's obviously me... being taken care of by senior."

"Then please Karuizawa-san, please attend the fireworks display on time tomorrow and end our relationship there."

"Breaking up and falling out of love under the sky full of fireworks feels... it feels a bit cruel."

Ichinose Honami almost cried when she saw Karuizawa Megumi, but she was still laughing and joking.

"Then think of this fireworks display as a date, the last one for the two of us."

Ichinose Honami's Summer Reappearance: Chapter 22: Second Ending: Fantasy

[Day 14: You finally don't have to think about the confession plan that has troubled you for more than a year. In fact, persisting in something for many days always requires a long accumulation, but giving up only needs to be slightly bad. One day, after you dragged Ichinose Honami out of the fire scene yesterday, you found that the birthday card you had written was thrown in the room. At that time, you almost didn't think much about it, and subconsciously rushed out again. You went back, but unfortunately, you still couldn't find it until you were passed out by the thick smoke. ]

[When you wake up again, it will be July 21st. Ichinose Honami's birthday has completely passed. Unfortunately, you don't have the chance to wait another year. Your mother I plan to take you away forcefully in advance. If what happened yesterday had not happened, maybe this deadline can be postponed for another two days, but what happened cannot be changed. The reality you are facing now is this time tomorrow. You We will board the flight out of Tokyo. ]

[You stand up and walk to the window. The ward your mother prepared for you is more spacious than the one you lived in before, but it seems even more empty when you live alone. There are neatly arranged and beautifully arranged fruit plates. On the bedside table, you only picked a few slices of apples and ate them before losing your appetite. ]

[It is still raining lightly now. According to the notice from the meteorological station, the rain will stop before noon, and until tomorrow evening, the probability of precipitation will be close to zero. This also means that the fireworks display will be advanced to today. One of the reasons for the late convening. ]

[There are large tracts of green plants outside the window, and the ones closest to you are green bamboos. As soon as you open the window, your cheeks are wet by the breeze mixed with drizzle. You watch the rain passing through the treetops and bamboo leaves. It seems to have grown from there, growing from transparent water into emerald green rain. ]

[You heard footsteps outside the ward, and soon there was a gentle knock on the door. You closed the window and sat back on the bed. There were only two people who would come to your room at this time, your mother or Mr. Izaki. . You opened your mouth to indicate that you could come in, so the old butler opened the door. He seemed to have just come back from outside, with the fishy smell and coolness unique to rainy days on his body. ]

["Master." He opened his mouth and greeted him respectfully, then closed the door and joked a little narrowly:

"You seem to have fallen out of love."]

["...Does even Mr. Izaki care so much about this kind of thing?" Compared to your mother, you were much more easy-going in front of Mr. Izaki. You rolled around on the bed for a while before burying your face in the quilt. Said dully. ]

["I just feel that giving up suddenly is not your style, young master. If you travel a hundred miles, you may succeed next time."

You listened quietly to the old man's words. He should be the person who knows best how much effort you have made for Ichinose Honami. In his opinion, the fireworks you dragged him to discuss and confess to you a few days ago were "I Which picture is better, "I like you" or "Be with me"? Now, in the blink of an eye, the plan is ready to be stopped.

"Don't those gamblers who lose everything at the gambling table think so? The higher the sunk cost, the more they think they will lose if they stop now, and then continue to lose more and more, until everything is gone. Nothing left."]

[He seemed a little dissatisfied with your answer, frowning and said:

"Emotions are not a sunk cost."

"Don't you know everything?" You rolled your eyes naturally, and you probably understood why your old housekeeper was still single in his fifties and sixties. ]

["I don't think it is a pity that the young master gave up Ichinose Honami. I do think that the contradiction between your two personalities is irreconcilable. Miss Ichinose's personality is not suitable for being a lover at all. Love is a relationship between two people." The process of personal adaptation to each other, but she has never been able to make changes. There is a dangerous part in Miss Ichinose's character. "

"But." He changed the topic. ]
