"That is, after arriving in Tokyo, you participated in the selection of Nogizaka?"
Baiyunshan couldn't help but said: "You go to such a far place alone, and you still need to work to support your living expenses and tuition. I really don't know how you came here at that time -"
"It's a little difficult, yes."
Hashimoto Nana remained silent for a moment and did not deny it.
Baiyunshan looked at her somewhat pale profile and couldn't help but sigh. From the information obtained from the system, it can be known that there are many speculations and comments on the Internet about girls lacking father's love. But in his opinion, what girls lack is not just their father. like?
When the family suffered such a huge change, for a girl who was only sixteen years old at the time, how could it be as simple as just losing a father? It must have involved changes in all aspects of the surroundings, and the first period of life must have been filled with grief, fear, and insecurity.
If this were not the case, the girl would not have transformed into such a state in just a few years. At least, it is certain with a high probability that if it were not for witnessing with her own eyes the hardships the family went through in the one or two years after losing her father. , it is difficult for Nana Hashimoto to make up her mind to go to Tokyo alone to work hard. This is not only about character, but more importantly, motivation——
Or helpless in a sense.
Correspondingly, the passing of Hashimoto's father is more like a pronoun for the good time before the accident, representing that although it cannot be called carefree, it is definitely far better than now. An easy childhood.
But if you understand it simply, it is not wrong to say that it is a lack of fatherly love——
Baiyunshan looked at the hazy teaching building shrouded in night and was a little lost in thought. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
But in this situation, where can I go to find Hashimoto's father back? If Hashimoto's real father is still alive now, he might be able to persuade the girl to go back with him, but now that he has been dead for several years and his bones are almost melting, this idea is just a dream——
At this moment, the girl's cold voice sounded in his ears again.
"Don't you want to go in and have a look?"
Baiyunshan turned around in surprise, only to see Hashimoto Nanami looking at the familiar building as well. After looking at it twice, he looked back, turned to look at him and thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "Speaking of which, you are obviously in Hokkaido. Come on. I’ve been in Asahikawa for so long, but I’ve never taken you around. I’m really embarrassed—”
"How about I take you for a walk today?"
Baiyunshan came back to his senses, raised an eyebrow when he heard this, and said with a strange expression: "Just to accompany me? You have no intention of going in for a stroll?"
Hashimoto Nana's face turned red when her thoughts were exposed, and she turned her head away from him: "Okay, I do want to take a look."
After saying that, he trotted forward two steps with his hands behind his back, then stopped and looked back, tilting his head.
"How's it going? Have you decided?"
Baiyunshan certainly has no reason to refuse.
...
...
The school was already deserted during the annual vacation, and at night, there was not even a single soul in sight.
The girl led him around Baiyun Mountain. The school building at night was different from that during the day. Logically speaking, it gave people an inexplicable and strange feeling of terror, but it could not be seen from the girl's face. Instead, it was full of nostalgia.
"That's the auditorium, where everyone goes on the first day of school. The court next to it is always very lively. Even when school is over, there are still many people staying to play ball. Farther away are the classrooms used for club activities. , all the way to the very end is the library, which is also one of the places I go most..."
Walking and stopping along the way, Hashimoto Nana explained to him various elements in the school building like a guide, but her eyes could not hide the joy and emotion.
She stayed here for three years. No matter how low-key the girl was at that time and how immersed in her studies, there were still many things worth remembering here. Along with the young and green years at that time, they still remain in her mind. .
Now along the way, these memories are emerging one by one like a movie, which makes people feel complicated.
Finally, we came to a classroom.
"Is this the classroom of Nanamin's old class?"
Baiyunshan looked inside curiously through the window.
The classroom is naturally locked. In addition, most of the rooms in the school building are locked, so you can only watch from outside, and this is no exception.
The rows of tables and chairs suddenly became very clear under the light of a mobile phone used as a flashlight. There were brooms and other debris piled in the corners. There seemed to be some writing and graffiti on the blackboard, but due to the distance, it was difficult to see clearly. , it can only be judged to be chalk characters such as a person’s name.
The curtains beside the window hang down naturally. Since the window is closed, there must be no flowing wind to blow it up. At a glance, they look like strips of curtains.
"It feels like nothing has changed——"
The girl murmured softly.
In fact, of course there won't be any big changes. After all, it has only been about two years since the girl graduated from here.
In less than two years, unless there are any special circumstances, the general layout of the classroom will definitely not change drastically.
"Where was Nanamin sitting?"
Baiyunshan suddenly asked curiously, and touched his chin with a strange expression: "Don't tell me that it happens to be the second to last position by the window. You know, that is usually where the protagonist in comic novels stays. There should be no Such a coincidence, right?”
"What are you talking about-"
Hashimoto Nana was not interrupted in her recollection. When she heard his complaints, she couldn't help but rolled her eyes at him. She immediately turned her eyes and looked around the classroom while thinking for a few seconds. Then she pointed in one direction and said, "If you don't remember, If it’s wrong, it should be that one——”
Of course, the position she was referring to was not the second-to-last seat by the window, but simply a place in the middle of the classroom, just as ordinary as the girl herself said.
Baiyunshan didn't look disappointed, but turned around and suggested, "You're here, why don't you just go in and sit down?"
"Go in and sit down?"
Hashimoto Nana was a little moved when she heard the words, but after thinking about it, she still shook her head and said: "Forget it, it's better not to disturb others. After all, this is someone else's seat now, and the doors are locked, so we can't There’s no way to get in—”
Before he finished speaking, he heard Baiyunshan say: "Ah, the door is actually unlocked——"
Hashimoto Nana was startled. Sure enough, she saw him push the door open slightly. The dull smell of chalk and dust came out, and the sound was particularly obvious in the silent corridor.
You don't need to think about it to know that this must be the fault of the guy in front of you.
There was no time to be surprised at how he did it. Hashimoto Nana glared at him angrily and expressed her strong dissatisfaction with his disgraceful behavior. Then she took the initiative to grab his hand and dragged him to the other side without saying a word. He walked over and said, "Forget it! Compared to this, I have another place, and I want to take you Baiyun-sang to see——"
Well, I'm afraid the classroom will be demolished by this guy if I stay any longer——
"Is there another place?"
Baiyunshan looked at her in surprise, and then felt the warm touch on his fingers. He couldn't help but move his eyes downwards, looking at the hand that actively grasped him in the darkness.
The girl's slender fingers seemed to be burned, and she subconsciously let them go.
Hashimoto Nana, who had her back turned to him in the night, could not clearly see the specific expression on her face. She could only vaguely see the slight redness of the auricles hidden between the short hair, and she explained in a low voice.
"Yes, a place with much better scenery than here."
