"It took me a long time to understand people's emotions, to understand the laws of society, and to know what love is like."

"But no matter how precocious I am, the length of life remains constant. Up to now, I have only lived eight years."

"Eight years alone feels like a long time."

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at him.

Three years ago, when I knew I was going abroad, my mind was completely disturbed and I could only look for him subconsciously.

So he appeared in front of her as quickly as possible to comfort her who was feeling helpless and sad.

And now I am in front of him.

Taking one step forward, two steps, three steps, Yukinoshita Yukino reached out to him and hugged him.

This was the first time she took the initiative to hug him.

Different from his hug at noon, her hug this time was obviously more gentle and the meaning it represented was more obvious.

Raising her head, Yukinoshita Yukino pressed her forehead against his.

Their eyes met, she breathed softly, her tone gentle.

"Nomi-san, do you remember the winter in fifth grade? We built a snowman in the yard and then watched a movie under the kotatsu."

Chapter 135: When it snows, there must be wind

Build a snowman and watch a movie.

Nomiyama looked at the blue eyes so close to him and recalled the past.

Yukinoshita likes reading most in her spare time, and movies are just one of her hobbies, but in the past, they mostly watched movies together.

Because there is only one copy of the book and it can only be in one person's hands, but the movie can be watched together.

They would lie on their sides on the sofa or curl up in the kotatsu.

Fifth grade, winter, snowman.

Puss in Boots

Yes, Cats, an animated film adapted from a fairy tale with cats as the protagonists.

The cat was wearing boots, a cowboy hat, and a rapier at his waist.

Yukinoshita Yukino smiled faintly: "Puss in Boots released a second part two years ago. I remember telling you about it."

"Well, I saw it."

Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes softened: "That's good."

Of course Nomiyama knew that she had more to say, so he recalled everything about the movie in his mind.

A cowboy cat with nine lives, wearing boots and a cape, he loves adventure and is a legend. But one day, he was told that he only had one life left. The other eight lives had been consumed because he did not cherish them. At this time, a wolf came to him and wanted to take his life.

Puss raised his sword and fought with the wolf, but he was defeated completely, and even his sword was knocked down.

The opponent's sickle passed between his eyebrows, leaving a trail of blood.

Puss was scared because he realized that he no longer had nine lives and could no longer take risks without worries. He only had one life and he would die.

So Puss in Boots ran away, abandoned his sword, and buried everything he had left, his boots, cloak, and cowboy hat, in the ground, staying in a safe place and never taking any more risks.

Until one day, he learned that there was a place where one wish could come true.

He dug up the soil, put on his iconic equipment, and decided to make a wish to get back his nine lives and become the legend again.

But in the end, before his wish was fulfilled, he was found by the wolf, who despised him for wasting his life.

Because the wolf represents death. He is the embodiment of death, a fate that no one can escape.

Death raised a circle of red fireworks on the ground, trapping Puss in it and preventing him from escaping.

In an open space surrounded by fireworks, Puss in Boots and Death have the final duel in the movie.

"Nomi-san, Puss in Boots is destined to lose." Yukinoshita Yukino spoke at this time.

"Because he is destined to die." Nomiya added.

"But he hasn't lost yet." Yukinoshita Yukino stopped touching him with her forehead and took a step back, smiling. "He picked up his sword and his courage. He will use his courage to fight death all his life."

"Nomi-san, death is unconquerable, but as long as courage remains, it is not irresistible."

"A cave is dark, but as long as a ray of light shines into it, darkness is no longer its fate; the ocean is isolated, but as long as people cross it, isolation is no longer the fate of the people on both sides; in this world, there must be something that can withstand the long passage of time, but we have not found it yet."

Nomiya's eyes shook, and he thought of the bamboo tube, the bamboo tube that traveled through time to find him.

Taking a deep breath, he calmed the chaos in his mind, looked at her again, and after a moment, said, "I didn't expect you to say that."

"He's Nomi-san after all." Yukinoshita Yukino sneered contemptuously, "All he has in his head is what tastes good and what doesn't."

Nomiyama waited quietly for the answer.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at him, stretched out her hand, and a bottle of medicine appeared in her palm.

She held the medicine bottle, looked at him and said, "This is the [Elixir of Life], which you gave to the senior. She didn't eat it."

"I don't know why you chose this, Senior, but Nomi-san, if one day you realize that you will not die and will live forever, remember to tell me."

Nomiyama glanced at the bottle of medicine and said, "Okay."

So Yukinoshita Yukino put away the medicine and looked at him quietly. Finally, some emotions appeared between her brows: "I don't want you to be sad because of someone who lived a thousand years ago, and I don't want your life to be like this forever."

"Let us not burden our memories with the misfortunes of the past."

She concluded with a serious expression: "At least one miracle must be offered to you, so that it may comfort you, just as my principality comforts me."

Nomiya's eyes moved slightly, and the next two sentences were original lines from Shakespeare's play "The Tempest".

My principality...

He couldn't help but feel a little excited, but he still asked a question out of curiosity: "If she really survived and lived to this day, then..."

"That doesn't matter."

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't wait for him to finish, but smiled and said, "I'm sure there must be wind when it snows."

What if the other person is also snow...

Nomiyama thought of the name "Snowy Evening", and then thought of the metaphor "snow under the moonlight" he had used a few days ago. He suddenly felt a little guilty and turned around and started again.

Although escaping is shameful, it definitely works, even if it only works for a short while. Now I just want to enjoy the soft spring breeze and leave the storm to myself tomorrow.

So he changed the subject: "I thought someone like Yukinoshita would prefer Hamlet or Romeo and Juliet."

"Superficial personal speculation," Yukinoshita Yukino said without hiding her criticism. "I like all of Shakespeare's books."

After walking a few steps and passing a corner, they both stopped and turned their heads.

"Uncle Ichiraku is really running around Chiba." Nomiya rubbed his stomach and walked to the other side of the corner.

"At least don't use the word 'run away', this adjective suits you." Yukinoshita Yukino walked beside him.

"Huh? How did I run around? After school I always go straight to the river to fish, and I usually stay quiet in my free time." Nomiya was a little dissatisfied.

"Hehe, he ran away very fast at noon." Yukinoshita Yukino directly mentioned what happened at noon.

"That's called a strategic retreat," Nomiyama retorted, then became even more dissatisfied. "You really can't use that whip on me. I can feel it. It hurts a lot. I guess it hurts beyond belief."

"Like this..." Yukinoshita Yukino put her hand on her chin, thinking.

No, why do you look like you are considering whether to smoke in the future? Can you please consider my body first? It will really hurt.

Nomiya's eyelids twitched, but he said nothing in the end because he saw an acquaintance, an acquaintance who was somewhat surprising but not surprising.

"Tsk."

When Yukinoshita Yukino heard his "tsk", she got rid of the choice of whether to hit him or not. She came to her senses and looked up at the ramen stall.

Then she frowned.

Chapter 136 Under the Snow!!

acquaintance.

Meeting an acquaintance on a street corner in the same city might be a little surprising, but it wouldn’t be considered very special.

In a sense, this is a necessary thing because the city is so small.

The more people you know, the easier it is to run into acquaintances.

Nomiyama just feels interesting.

Well, it’s not surprising that she’s eating ramen here, after all, she’s a ramen expert.

Yukinoshita Yukino's gaze paused on the person sitting in front of the noodle stall with his back to her.

That person's temperament is too obvious. Even with his back to him, his hair and clothes are too recognizable.

Shizuka Hiratsuka is a Chinese language teacher and life guidance teacher, responsible for club-related matters.

I just dealt with the other party at noon because of the service department.

As a high school student, what situation are you most worried about encountering when walking on the street with the opposite sex?

Parents? No, they don’t. Most of the time, parents don’t understand you. They have no idea what your campus life is like. You have plenty of reasons to mislead them.

Classmates and friends? Not really. Whether they are friends or classmates, they will just smile knowingly and at most gossip with you about how far you have progressed with them.

So, there is only one type of person who is the most troublesome.

The teacher is the one who knows you best as a student and is familiar with your campus life.

Subconsciously, Yukinoshita Yukino turned her head and looked at him.

At this time, you just need to listen to his opinions, what kind of results he wants to achieve, and what kind of situation he wants to face.

Will he want to escape?

Of course, he didn't want to face the teacher, but he also didn't want him to just hide away.

Nomiyama noticed her gaze and turned his head to look at her. He seemed to be thinking: "Is Yukinoshita scared?"

Yukinoshita Yukino turned around and said coldly, "No, I'm wondering if Nomi-san is scared."

"Oh, I see." Nomi-san continued walking towards the ramen stand. He said in a relaxed tone, "Don't be afraid. Hiratsuka-sensei is different. She doesn't care about these things."

"She doesn't understand what's really going on between men and women. She only seeks answers in her fantasies."

When he said this, he laughed, a laugh of gloating.

Yukinoshita Yukino narrowed her eyes but didn't say anything.

He was very familiar with this beautiful teacher, Hiratsuka, who should be from that educational family, that is, the family of Master Hiratsuka.

Nomiya lifted the curtain and sat next to Hiratsuka Shizuka, separating Yukinoshita on the other side.

He called out, "Uncle, give me an extra bowl of tonkotsu ramen and a bowl of soy sauce ramen."

Then he reached out and touched the side: "You haven't changed your taste, have you?"

Yukinoshita Yukino just sat down quietly: "No."

"Okay!" Uncle Yile responded as usual, turned his back and began to knead the dough. After kneading it several times, he realized something and turned around in surprise.

"Yukino?"

"Well, Uncle Ichiraku, long time no see." Yukinoshita Yukino stood up and smiled politely.

"Eh? How long have you been back? It's really sad that Fengzao didn't even tell me." Uncle Yile turned around and complained.

Put the company's rescue equipment on

"She's only been back for two days. Uncle, your business is all over Chiba, so how could I inform you so quickly?" Nomiyama explained to himself at the right time.

"He's a bit stupid, and you know that, uncle. If I hadn't asked him for his contact information, he would never have imagined that there are such things as mobile phones in this world." Yukinoshita Yukino replied with a smile, and at the same time belittled the people next to her.
