“How could this happen?”
Jiuhuayue came here late at night with basically only one purpose.
"Are you unhappy?"
"I didn't say that. I'm just a little tired."
".I haven't done anything yet! You just don't like it."
"I'd love to."
".Then you come today. I'm tired and I don't want to move."
"can."
".And did you buy it?"
"I bought one box."
"Well, that's good. Also, we agreed to go outside to the yard today."
".Do you really want to go?"
"Nonsense."
“I really think this is not a good idea.”

dong dong.
dong dong.
Yang Kui Chitose gently knocked on Fujii Itsuki's bedroom door and whispered:
"Brother Tree~"
"Brother Tree~"
"Brother Shu, are you asleep~~?"
Unfortunately, there was no response after knocking three times and shouting three times.
He's probably asleep.
Yang Kui Chitose felt a little discouraged when she thought of this. She probably wouldn't be able to see Brother Shu tonight.
She pulled the door handle with a somewhat disappointed heart, and found that it was not locked.
The girl became a little more alert, then she pressed down the door handle, pushed the door open a crack, and stuck her head in.
"Brother Tree~~"
"Huh? Why isn't Brother Shu here?"
Chitose Yangkui frowned and then she took the initiative to go into the bedroom.
Very strange.
Brother Shu is not in bed.
Brother Shu’s bed looked very strange, and the quilt was very messy, as if it had been visited by robbers.
"what is this?"
Yang Kui Chitose suddenly found that there were still many balloons on the ground that she had seen last time, but these balloons were not blown up, but white and deflated.
And there is more than one on the earth!
But three or four!
Brother Tree, is he playing with water balloons late at night?
Chitose Yangkui picked up the balloon on the ground curiously.
There was nothing else, but she felt that the aura was slightly familiar.
It seems like I smelled it from somewhere.
Wait, she remembered!
I saw it last time. It must be Brother Shu who was lonely at night again. Then, hum...H Brother Shu!
At this time, Yang Kui Chitose suddenly noticed some movement outside the door, and in less than a moment, Fujii Itsuki walked back into the room.
"Chitose?" Fujii Itsuki was quite surprised.
Yang Kui Qiansui immediately pouted, "Brother Shu, it's so late, what have you been doing?"
"I'm-"
"Brother Shu, are you feeling guilty?"
"I'm accompanying Jiuhua. She'll come to see me in the evening."
"What about Jiuhua?"
"She went upstairs." Fujii Itsuki saw what Yang Kui Chitose was holding, "How about, Chitose, you throw these things away first?"
"Hmm? These balloons?"
". Chitose, don't you know what this is?"
“It’s just a balloon.”
"."
Fujii Itsuki was speechless. He turned around and closed the door. He asked Chitose to throw away the things in her hands first, and then asked her to sit next to him.
"Chitose wanted to talk to me tonight too?"
"also?"
"Xinchun and Yue both came just now."
"."
Chitose Haruki pouted and clasped her hands together beside Fujii Itsuki, looking quite unhappy.
"When I came back tonight, I met Sister Muzi."
"Muzi?"
"Well, she drank alone because you said you wanted to give up being a teacher, Brother Shu."
"."
"Brother Shu, is what Sister Muzi said true?"
Fujii Itsuki looked at her and answered after a moment: "Yes."
".Because of Jiuhuayue?"
“It’s because of you.”
".Brother Shu, why?"
"It's very simple. Now that I have chosen to accept you and have this kind of relationship with you, my identity as a teacher is naturally not as upright as before. I can't get over it myself."
"But this," Yang Kui Chitose raised her voice, "but this is not yours, Brother Shu—"
"Yes, it is a dream. But right now, Chitose, you guys are more important to me than a dream."
Yang Kui Qiansui lowered her head again, ".So, it is me who caused Brother Shu to lose his dream."
Fujii Itsuki patted her on the back and consoled her with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay if the dream is lost. I still have Chitose to accompany me now."
".I think Brother Shu should bring Jiuhuayue along with him in his answer now."
"."
Yang Kui Chitose quickly explained: "I didn't mean to say that Brother Shu was wrong! It's just that I feel very uncomfortable with this feeling."
". Chitose, why are you apologizing? You didn't do anything wrong."
The atmosphere suddenly became much more awkward.
Yang Kui Chitose had never felt that there was such an awkward situation between herself and Brother Shu, so she took the initiative to speak:
"Actually, I thought a lot today about Jiu Huayue. Brother Shu also explained her situation to me last time. Yes, that's right, Jiu Huayue really needs Brother Shu.
“Actually, compared to the relationship between Brother Shu and Jiuhua, I am more like an outsider.
"The promise that Brother Shu made to me was more like a delaying tactic because he didn't want me to be sad."
Fujii Itsuki looked at her distressedly, "Chitose, please don't think like that."
"Then Brother Shu, answer me, do you like Qiansui now?"
".I like my sister's side more."
".Brother Shu, look!"
Fujii Itsuki couldn't refute.
Yang Kui Chitose looked at her tangled little hands and said:
"I knew this from the beginning, so when I said I wanted to make Brother Shu like me, I would always think more about Brother Shu's sake. After all, Brother Shu meant more than just a brother to Qiansui.
“Brother Shu might think it’s ridiculous that Chitose still remembers what he said when he was a kid!
"But I really meant it. I always remember what I said about wanting to be Brother Tree's bride.
“I hope that one day Brother Tree can also feel the warmth, care and love from me.
“I hope that I will not only be taken care of by Brother Tree, but also be loved by Brother Tree.
"One day, I will be able to stand up and protect Brother Shu when he needs me!
"Just like he always protected me in the past."
Chitose didn't say much.
But when I hear it in my heart, it feels warm.
The love of a thousand years is, without a doubt, real.
And because the two grew up together, this love has been precipitated by time.
