"Seven see you!"

Her figure was not visible in the empty corridors of the hotel.

Without waiting for the elevator, Shimizu Tetsu stepped on the steps and chased downstairs, grabbed the staff in the hall and asked one by one, and all she got was the news that she had taken a taxi to leave.

He hurried to the station again, and the last train leading to Morioka had just left. In the weather when the mountain was closed after heavy snow, it became impossible for Nanami, who wanted to catch up with leaving.

When he returned to the hotel in disappointment, Rena Nonian was still waiting in the corridor, holding the bag that Nanami Nami had fallen in her hand.

"Qingshuisan...this should be for you..."

"Is that so? Then thank you Nian Nian."

Lifting weakly against the wall, Shimizu Tetsu kept replaying the look before Nanami left in his mind, but he didn't notice the timid expression of Nonian Reina on the side.

"Qingshuisan...that, is it me..."

"No, this is not your problem, it is my own decision."

After comforting the worried Reina Nonian, Shimizu Tetsu took a look at the bag in his hand and recognized the logo of a dim sum shop he liked, and unconsciously smiled bitterly on the corner of his mouth.

-----

Although I left early the next morning, I passed by the bus, plane and taxi, and when Shimizu Tetsu finally stood in front of the apartment in Tokyo, it was already the night when the chill began to spread gradually.

Find the key from the pocket, insert the keyhole, and turn the handle.

I don't know how many times these simple movements a child can do, but Shimizu Tsuki never felt so nervous that he felt inexplicably panic.

When I opened the door, the room was as quiet as the night after snow.

Stepping on his heartbeat, Shimizu Tetsu dragged his luggage into the entrance hall. When he saw Nanami Nanami in the living room, he felt much more at ease for no reason.

She sat in front of the quilt, holding her cheek with her right hand, and her long hair naturally slipped on the pages of the book, covering her expression. As if she was completely attracted by the contents of the book, she did not notice Shimizu Tetsu's footsteps, and had not turned the pages for a long time.

However, when the winter air poured in outside the window, Shimizu Tetsu noticed that her deep eyes under her hair did not fall on the pages, but looked through the table to see nothingness that could not see the end.

Release the suitcase, Qingshuiche stepped forward and sewed the window together, and called out softly: "Qijian."

After a long time, it was not until the cold air in the air gradually faded that she seemed to have just come to her senses, looked up at him slightly, lowered her eyes, and flipped the pages of her fingertips.

"I have something to do in the school today and I don't have time to prepare supper, so just eat this."

After being slightly stunned, Shimizu Tetsu saw two of the most common cups of noodles in the convenience store next to her. Just as she was about to nod and say "Okay", the sharp sound of the kettle in the kitchen rang out in time.

Adding hot water and sealing the lid, Qingshuiche sat cross-legged across from her, watching the slowly rising steam spread into a white mist in the air.

This kind of sitting opposite each other during dining looks exactly the same as countless nights before, but in the end there is something different.

He was hesitating whether to say the words brewing all the way, but he heard the sound of eliminating emotions from her, just like the cold air in Hokkaido.

“Is the road going smoothly?”

Looking up, Nanami saw that she was still flipping through the pages of the book, and her eyes were unknown, as if the sound came from his own hallucination, so that Kimizu Tetsu was stunned for a few seconds before she could recall to respond.

“Yes, it’s still going well.”

"Yeah?"

Nanami Nanami lowered her arms, straightened her body, and tied her long hair behind her ears, staring straight at Shimizu Tetsu's eyes, which were transparent and cold.

"I asked Shimizu if you wanted to tell me something, you said there wasn't yet. So now, Shimizu has anything you want to say?"

Take a deep breath, and think all the way, the words turned into two words, "Sorry..."

"What then?" Nanami Nanami leaned forward and tilted her head slightly, as if she wanted to see him more thoroughly.

After receiving no response for a few seconds, Nanami Nanami understood the answer.

"So that... will I move out from here tomorrow? Maybe this is better for Qingshui?"

"No, I definitely don't have that intention!"

After hearing the denial, Nanami's expression was slightly slower, but her tone was still almost cold and calm.

"But, I can't say it and I don't plan to let me move out. What do you want me to do?"

The determination just now disappeared in an instant, the small living room fell silent again, and the white mist in the air gradually dissipated.

"call…"

Nanami sat back, slowly let out a breath, shook her head slightly and said, "If Shimizu, you can't think of an answer, then that's the case for the time being."

Before she could understand what "this is the case" meant by her words, Shimizu Tetsu saw her holding the table, picking up the book on the table, and whispered: "Shueisha will publish additional publications at the end of the year, so I will rush to draw comics during this period. If there is no special thing, please do not disturb me."

After saying that, she stepped on the floor and shaking her slender body towards the bedroom.

The moment the crack of the door gradually closed, Shimizuki could no longer hold back.

"Seven see you!"

"how?"

Seeing Nanami stopping her movements, she moved her eyes and looked at him. Her eyes became colder than Jianbing, and her urge that had just risen was instantly frozen.

"…I have written the content of "Haijie Diary" this month and I will give it to you later."

"Thank you, but just put it at the door, I will see it. Shimizu, you can rest assured that I will finish this comic carefully."

"Seven see, I'm not..."

"That's it, I'll still have to rush the manuscript."

After a "click", the door was stitched and her figure completely disappeared.

Looking back at the living room where the fog was gone, Shimizuki breathed out a long sigh, and he no longer felt like he was alone.

After cleaning the small table, I dragged my luggage back to my room. After turning on the light, I found that the room was much cleaner than before. The books placed on the bookshelf were arranged neatly, the bedding was replaced with new ones, and there was no trace of dust in the corner.

Thinking of what this means, Shimizu Tetsu felt even more boiling inside.

What was she doing these things at that time?

As if he wanted to find an answer, Shimizuki subconsciously looked at the door that separated the two bedrooms. With the bright light, he found a trace of metallic light shining faintly in the gap between the doors.

Nanami suddenly locked her.

This should be the one she bought when she first came here? I didn't expect that it wasn't the first time she used it...

He pulled out a helpless expression like a self-deprecating look, and Shimizu fell on the bed, looking at the snow-white ceiling in a daze.
