Sayu Ogihara is a special girl, and she herself noticed this very early.

I have not been good at hard work since before, or if I work hard, I will not be rewarded.

Because mom doesn't like herself, no matter how hard she tries and how proud the result is, that person will only praise her brother, but not her at all.

In an environment where even the closest "family" does not praise you, you can't find a reason to work hard. He has become an eyesore.

Whether it is elementary school or middle school, they have made considerable efforts and achieved corresponding results, and they have entered a good school in high school.

However, the first thing I felt when I entered high school was "difficulty breathing".

The classroom is always full of energy, and the students distribute these seemingly infinite but limited energy, and everyone except her is fighting for it.

This also made Sha You realize the gap between herself and everyone, but she didn't care about her position in the class, whether she was liked or hated by others, these things did not make her feel happy and sad.

In first grade, I didn't make decent friends, but I didn't get hated. Instead of being dissatisfied with this, Sha You felt much better than those students with glamorous relationships.

If only next year and the year after could spend so easily, she couldn't help but think so, she only felt that the clouds and sky from the classroom window were very beautiful, just stretching leisurely, there was no so-called pain, trouble, loneliness, sadness and other emotions at all.

Once these thoughts are allowed to go, the head and chest begin to become transparent, and a gentle calmness in life slowly spreads throughout the body, free and beautiful.

But in the spring of her second grade, she received a confession from a boy. Even Sha You, who has been living a confused life since the first grade, knows that he is a popular man in the school's basketball department.

When it comes to talking about boys, the girls in the class can't avoid that person's name.

This is not only for the fact that as the center of the class, he is paying attention to himself at the edge of the class, but more importantly, she does not notice that kind of gaze at all.

"I'm sorry, I don't know much about love or anything."

Because she didn't want to cause trouble, she rejected the confession with innocuous words.

If it is an interaction between the present and the present, the people around it can easily accept it, but once this boundary is crossed, it will often attract criticism.

What's more, Sha You has no intention of falling in love at all, and that kind of thing is really troublesome.

But soon, her peaceful life was shattered.

A few days after rejecting Saito's confession, she was called to a no-man's land by a small group led by Yuzuki who liked Saito.

Yuzuki not only looks outstanding, but also has very developed motor nerves, and has always been very popular among boys, basically every few months you will hear rumors such as "who confessed to Yuzuki".

However, such Yugetsu likes Saito-kun.

"Hey, you rejected Saito, right? Don't be so crazy for marginal people.

After that, Sha Youcai suddenly found that he was completely isolated in the class. Although he had no friends in the first place.

However, from the deliberate and explicit behavior of the people around her, she still clearly realized that she was "isolated".

Despite this, there is no encounter with people hiding their possessions, or being abused and bullied as seen in TV series or comics.

Maybe it's because of fear of your family environment.

Until one day, a girl with long black hair tied into two braids at the back of her head and a pair of earthy black-framed glasses on her face carefully spoke to her.

Her name is Yuko Masaka.

"Other people's words, if they are not with others, they will never be able to live as if they are on good terms with someone. Only Sha You-chan can live very calmly alone.

Those sparkling eyes made Sha You a little stunned.

"Really handsome!"

"No, I guess it's not like that..."

The words of longing that accidentally spit out of her mouth overwhelmed her for a moment.

"So that..."

Makiko said to Sayou in a vibrato tone.

"Please be friends with me!"

So, Sha You's unchanged life met his first true friend.

It was a time when the corners of your mouth lifted just thinking about it.

Whenever there was a break between classes, Yuko would come to Sayo's seat and chat about something that was not marginal.

They build a relationship that is like eating together during lunch break and going home together after school, which is ordinary but full of joy.

"Friend... What an incredible relationship. Shayou

felt the essence of the smile for the first time, and unlike the innocent smile she had as a child, the smile disappeared as she grew up understanding her environment.

The father cheated and the mother was indifferent.

Even his brother, the only one who cares about him, is busy all day because he inherited his father's company.

That's why she's excited about the first friend she made in her life.

However, that happy life did not last long. I don't know when the atmosphere in the class changed.

Unlike the previously ignored reaction, the gaze cast on them by the classmates began to become more wet and heavy. It was an indescribable feeling, but I did feel the change.

It's like a flood that finds an outlet.

And Sha Youxiang, who was addicted to friendship, reacted in time, and it was too late. She discovered that the group of people who looked at her unhappy began to baling the knots of ordinary families.

Not only stationery and textbooks, but even physiological supplies have disappeared.

Even if I went to the teacher to discuss, I was lightly rejected by the words "Well, after all, we don't know if the children stole it", and the teacher obviously does not care about these things.

Such a desperate situation left both Shayou and Yuko physically and mentally exhausted, and the originally happy campus life suddenly became difficult.

Even so, she had to take good care of Yuko and her only friend

until one day, Yuko took a leave.

Sha You's face was heavy and came to the rooftop where they met alone, enjoying a long time alone for lunch.

The person she cared about appeared outside the fence on the rooftop, an area where students were not allowed to approach.

"What are you doing? Seeds! "

Hear your own cry...

"Shayu-chan."

Yuko, who turned back, said to Shayou with a smile with a calm and creepy expression, tears on his face.

"I'm sorry, it's a shady person like me who burdened you and made Shayou lose the smile he had before..."

"Nothing like that! Right now.. Come to me now, okay? Yukiko, please. Sha

Yu dragged his footsteps, soft from fear, and approached Yuko step by step, hoping to find the glimmer of hope before everything was irreparable.

"Sorry... But over there, it will only make me and Shayou feel pain. "

In the face of the unusually calm knot, a feeling of chill suddenly spread throughout my body.

The intense uneasiness prompted her to quicken her pace and run forward.

However, it seems to have noticed this scene...

"It's not, Shayu-chan's fault. Please smile in the future. "

Yukiko!"

As if seeking freedom, Yuko Masaka took a step forward, her posture was as light as a bird, but unfortunately, she did not have such wings.

"Stop!"

In the atrium of the campus, mourning erupted.

The dry and unconscious voice squeezed out of Shayu's throat, and the vision began to blur. Even so, she dragged her trembling body to the end of the rooftop.

Leaning out of the railing, look down.

What comes into view is

a twisted and desperate red flower stamen blooming from a maiden.

"Yukiko !!"

Sha You suddenly woke up from the dream, gasping for breath, his whole body was paralyzed, and his clothes were wet in the dream.

But compared to these discomforts from reality, she clenched her chest, and crystal tears dripped down her cheeks onto the quilt.

She has been trying to forget those images, the images that once she remembers it, she despairs of reality.

Sha You also thought about taking her own life for a while, with Yuko, but she will not forget Yuko's last message.

And now... Sha You hugged her body hard, her gaze gradually returned to normal from collapse, and she stroked the mobile phone at the end of the bed.

She couldn't stay any longer.

。。。。。。。

At the same time, Yushi, who got up early in the morning, was walking home with a courier sent from Chiba Yuki's house.

It's late July, and the summer vacation has passed halfway through unknowingly. Maybe it's time to do something more meaningful?

When it rained, I thought while walking with my express mail, and I came to the vicinity of the apartment in a short time.

On the side of the road, a black car with "Lexus" license plates, a car brand famous in the international market, is parked there.

When it rains, it can be seen that this car belongs to the customized one, it seems that which director of the group came here?

But that has nothing to do with me.

That's what he thought...

"So, did you know that a high school girl named Sayu Ogihara has been in and out of this apartment building?"

I saw a handsome young man in a suit asking as he stepped out of the car, glanced around and walked towards the passing rain.

"Sayu Hagiwara?"

Yushi paused in his steps, his eyes condensed slightly, and after carefully looking at the other party, he did not answer directly, but asked instead: "May I ask what is your relationship with this Hagihara Sayou?" Hearing

Rain Shi's answer, Hagiwara relaxed for a moment, and then squeezed a bitter arc from the corner of his mouth, as if he wanted to smile, but with a sense of powerlessness.

"I'm her brother, Kazusa Ogiwara, please advise."

"When it rains in the snow, luckily."

When it rained, he put the courier at the security office, looked back at Kazusa Ogiwara, who was standing in place and waiting, sighed and pointed to the café not far away.

"Mr. Ogiwara, let's talk first, Sayou should not have woken up yet. In addition, I have some things I want to ask. "Good

."

When the two of them sat down at the two-person table near the floor-to-ceiling window, Yushi was the first to say about his encounter with Sha You, as well as the other party's recent situation.

It can be seen that this Mr. Ogihara really takes care of Shayou, so when it rains, he does not hide what happened to him during this time.

At least not to worry Shayou's family.

And Ogiwara Kazusa, who listened to the narration during the rain, also breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time lowered his head and said solemnly: "Thank you very much for taking care of your sister, to be honest, I didn't expect her to come to Tokyo so far away." "

Kazusa Ogiwara, who is proficient in social interaction, can roughly judge whether a person is lying, and Yutoki's words and expressions are not false.

"So, allow me to thank you again, Rain Shi-san. Sha You's contact with me was also cut off without authorization, if it was hidden by some guys who didn't make a difference during this period... I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life.

"It's just a small thing, but I want to know more about Shayou, the past." When it rains, he looks directly at this sad Mr. Ogiwara.

Originally, when it rained, he thought that Sha You was just an ordinary adolescent rebel and ran away from home, but after this period of getting along, he denied this idea.

Occasionally, the sleeping face that was tortured by pain to distort his expression made Yushi's heart sink, and what Sha You went through, he didn't know.

"Didn't that kid really say anything... This matter is a bit complicated, and it has to start with our family...

As if he had lost his usual calmness and eloquence, at this moment, he didn't even know how to open his mouth even the abdominal manuscript that he had simulated countless times in his heart.

Yushi silently listened to this slightly long story, holding his chest with both hands, and tapping his wrist with his index finger, only through such an action can he slightly suppress the emotional ups and downs in his heart.

Because he was targeted at isolation, his good friend Yuzi also began to be targeted, and finally his friend who couldn't stand the "bullying" on campus chose to end his life in front of Sha You...

I witnessed my friend's suicide because of myself, followed by various inquiries and investigations from school leaders and the media, and even my own mother hysterically complained that it was her fault.

"Gee!"

The reason for this situation is no longer her problem alone, school, classmates and family are all reasons why Sha You is now.

The collapse of a person is not necessarily reflected in big things, and the accumulation of small events, when it reaches a certain level, is enough to destroy a person.

What's more, even one of these things is enough... Without suffering and not persuading people to be kind, Sha You's experience of these things has exceeded his ability.

"Hah..." When it rained, he slowly exhaled, sobering up his somewhat feverish head, and looked up at Kazusa Ogiwara.

"I know everything, so I think the purpose of Mr. Ogiohara's trip is to bring Sayou home, right?"

"Yes, no matter what, I won't be relieved to leave her alone." Hagiwara said positively.

“。。。。 Let's go, from the beginning, the choice to stay is in Sha You's hands. Yushi

stood up, his tone was as calm as ever, but his eyes were gradually firm, he may not be able to understand Shayou's feelings, nor the ability to free her from the past.

But at least, a little bit is fine, and he also hopes that this girl can achieve her own happiness.

And Kazusa Ogihara, who was following behind him in the rain, also showed a light smile, which may be a blessing in misfortune, Shayou met this boy.

。。。。。。。

"Click."

As the sound of the door lock sounded, Sha You, who had already collected his mood, raised a reluctant smile in the direction of the door.

"Welcome back, when it rains... Brother?

Sha You's smile froze, and he instantly thought of the cause and effect of the matter, the corners of his mouth slowly slid, and his eyes were stained with a layer of dust: "Brother, are you here to pick me up?" Hagiwara

Kazusa also put away the smile on his face and stared at Shayou seriously, "You should know that you can't keep going like this, don't just be angry, don't plan to come back?" "

“。。。 I, don't want to go back yet.

"Stop being so capricious! Obviously you can't even maintain your own life, if you don't encounter rain, what should you do? "

“。。。。"

There was a silence.

"Mr. Ogiwara, let's sit down and talk first."

When it rains, he opens his mouth to break the awkward atmosphere and pushes Sha You to sit on the sofa.

He could understand his brother's worries about his sister running away from home, and Shayou, although he couldn't understand how much burden a girl who could smile after what he had been through really endured.

But if it were myself, I am afraid that it would be slumped.

At the moment, both of them are a little overly emotional, and calming down is a good thing for each other.

Seeing this scene, Ogihara opened his mouth, looking like he had something to say but didn't know where to speak, and finally turned into a wordless wry smile and sat on the other side of the sofa.

"Speaking of which, I haven't formally introduced myself, but when it rains, I came to visit without permission to disturb me, and the contemptible person is Kazusa Ogiwara, the chairman of Ogiwara Food Company."

While saying in a particularly respectful and courteous tone, he took out a business card from his arms and handed it over.

Yu Shi took the business card, glanced at the text on it, and was a little surprised to find that it was a company with a small reputation in Hokkaido, and...

"Your company has partnered with Hinatsuru Inn, right?"

When it rains, I vaguely remember that during the Dragon King War, some of the food provided by Hinatsuru Ryokan had the trademark of the Ogihara family.

"Indeed... In this way, are you really the famous genius chess player in the Qianye Xuexia family? "

Kazusa Ogihara had also guessed when he heard the surname Yukoshita before, and now he is even more relieved after confirming it, after all, he is better at this kind of scene.

"Well, it's just a fluke."

Speaking of this, Yushi's gaze couldn't help but look at Sha You, and the other party also looked over, but at the moment of eye contact, Sha You silently opened his eyes.

It seems that there is some resistance to this topic, and the rain who knows the reason does not talk much. Seeing this, Isa also slowed down his tone as if he had been touched, and continued to speak.

"All in all, Sha You, what do you think, you can't run away from home all the time."

Looking at Shayou, who was worried about his reaction, Kazusa Ogihara slowly said his inner thoughts: "I'm worried about you.

"I know, brother, but please give me some more time... Please. "

Sayou's tenderness with pity for his brother doesn't know where to go, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Tokyo alone.

"Mr. Ogiwara, although I don't like to meddle in family affairs, here I support Shayu as her friend."

Sha You's eyes fluctuated slightly, as if he was confirming something, carefully observing his expression, and then snorted slightly.

An indescribably complex emotion suddenly surged into his heart, making Sha You's nose sour.

"Anyway, it's already added a lot of trouble, and I'm not too much."

"When it rains..."

The tone of Yushi's speech was very unceremonious, and knocked Sha You's brain, which made Sha You feel both a little aggrieved and a little relieved.

Before you know it, your vision is gradually blurred.

As if he didn't want the other party to see his current face, Sha You, who was sniffing, couldn't help but look down in embarrassment.

Despite this, she can still clearly feel the outline of the person in front of her, and that image has been imprinted in her heart and guides her forward.

"Is that so... Friend. Hagiwara

gradually curled the corners of his mouth.

"I see." Ogihara, who witnessed this scene, muttered, and then said slowly: "Shayou, you seem to have changed a lot."

His expression became gentler than just now, but it was also mixed with a trace of indescribable loneliness, probably out of the comfort of the role of "brother".

"Hmm... Maybe. Sha You looked down in embarrassment, and suddenly felt a pang of apology in his heart.

Kazusa Ogiwara stood up, straightened his tie and reached out to stroke the top of Shayu's head, and said softly.

"Sha You, take care of yourself, if you have trouble, you can also rely on me."

"Also, please, rain-san."

Not only because the other party is the young master of the Qianye family, but also because he trusts the character of the rain. He looked around, such a neat and warm room is the place that can really be called home...

The key to whether Sha You can come out is him.

Kazusa Ogihara finally just smiled bitterly and shook his head, and after saying hello to the two, he hurriedly left the apartment, and as the chairman, he couldn't help himself.

As the door clicked shut, the room fell silent again.

“。。。。。"

"Want to eat pocky sticks?"

"Poof, haha~ Rain Shijun, your way to ease the atmosphere is very strange, eh?" Sha You couldn't help but laugh out loud, such a clumsy place also has the style of Yushijun.

"Shayou."

Looking at this girl who laughed like a clear moon when it rained, she couldn't help but think back to what she had just learned, the things hidden behind the smile.

"I have something to tell you."

"I just talked with Mr. Ogiwara outside for a while."

"Ahhh When it rains? Sha You slowly lowered his hand, and the smile gradually disappeared.

"Sorry for not asking for your opinion."

"No, it's okay, those things. It's not a pleasant thing... Sha You clenched the corners of his clothes and barely pulled out a smile.

Those things still let the rain know ah, know, their own unbearable past. So, can I stay here?

Anxiety and bitterness filled her heart, she was afraid, and Shayou once again had the idea of escaping, but she didn't want to leave, such a warm feeling she didn't want to lose, didn't want to be alone again.

"People like me don't deserve it anymore..."

Rain took a deep breath and interrupted her self-loathing.

"Shayou."

"If I could meet you earlier, I would have met you earlier. Maybe everything is different.

"But even now, I don't regret it, because Sayu Ogiwara is the strongest girl I have ever known."

When it rains, every word falls in Sha You's heart, and a warmth spreads from the heart to the whole body, dispelling the cold.

"But at least here, relax a little."

"When it rains..."

Speaking of this, Sha You's body trembled obviously, but it was immediately pressed down by her, shaking towards the rain, her fingers tightly grasping the other party's collar.

"Blame me... I couldn't understand Yuko's mood. The

staccato words kept ringing in my ears, mixed with a thick nasal voice.

"Mistakenly thinking that the struggle was right led her to a corner."

"Yuko's death is all because of me."

Tears piled up in her eyes and dripped onto the floor.

Looking at Sha You, who looked painful, Yushi pursed his lips until his skin turned white, and said in a deep voice: "It's not your fault, you are all victims."

"That's not the case. It's me... I didn't look favorably on the child, I didn't protect her... The

girl made a loud noise as if she were roaring, and interrupted him.

"Obviously the first friend in my life, but but..."

Sha You shook his head vigorously and let out a mournful cry.

"Why, can't you survive with me!"

Unable to cry, she bent down deeply, covered her chest with her hands like colic, and then began to cry loudly.

Even when it rained, he wanted to reach out and touch her, but she shook her head violently and refused, just lonely and immersed in sadness.

"Yukiko."

The emotions called self-blame and guilt are like invisible shackles wrapped around her, binding her to the past...

Unable to struggle, unable to breathe, unable to escape.

It is impossible for him to say the words "people cannot be resurrected after death" and "mourning and change", and it is also an insult to the person concerned.

"It's okay."

When it rained, he lowered his eyes, controlled his tone so that he would not tremble too much, and said softly: "If you can't forgive yourself, let me come and forgive you."

Shayou, who was struggling weakly, groaned and cried in his chest, tears quickly wetting his clothes.

Until, Shayou stopped crying.

。。。。。。。

After that, Kazusa Ogiwara stayed for a few days before having to leave Tokyo and return to the company.

And Shayou, who had slightly untied his heart, finally plucked up the courage to face the past and took the initiative to propose the idea of returning to Hokkaido to the rain.

So, on that day at the end of July, the tram stop platform.

"Already ready?"

When it rained, he glanced at the suitcase parked at the girl's feet, which he had helped prepare, and then raised his eyes to look at Sha You's face.

It was with a somewhat calm smile.

"Well, everything, everything is perfectly prepared, just like in the rain." Sha You tilted his head slightly, revealing a gentle smile.

"So I am such an image?"

A slight smile also appeared on Yushi's face, stretched out his hand, slowly placed it on top of Sha You's head, and instructed: "Don't force yourself."

"If you can't support it, come to Tokyo." During the rain, the family has always had Sayu Ogiwara's room.

Sha You shook his head slightly, looked to the north, and said firmly.

"Yushi-kun, I've helped me too much, this time, I want to try to face it myself."

When he saw this scene, he didn't say anything more, but before the distant tram arrived, Sha You suddenly raised his head and looked at him.

"Rain Shijun, can you finally fulfill one of my wishes?"

“。。。 Of course.

Sha You's eyelashes trembled slightly, his eyes flickered, and then he closed his eyes again and hugged him straight with his hands open.

"Thank you, when it rains."

The short sentence contained emotions that made Yushi stunned, and he also slowly hugged the other party and whispered in Sha You's ear.

"Go and make friends who make you happy, go in the direction you want to go, to fulfill your dreams, big or small, life should be beautiful and gentle, and so should you."

"Hmm."

Together with Yuko's wish, Shayou embarks on the path of cutting off her past self, perhaps full of thorns, but she will no longer be afraid and will not run away again.

After growing up... She hoped that she could meet him again in a better way.

During the rain, he stood calmly in place and watched Sha You get on the train until he entered the tunnel and disappeared. His body paused and he walked out of the platform.

The bright sun made him raise his hand, and he could see the blue sky through the gap between his fingers. Perhaps because he was older, he even began to feel sentimental.

Life is a long road, there is no need to hesitate and the past, those injuries that have been suffered will eventually turn into sunshine that illuminates the road ahead.
