The next day when school was over, Soya was packing up his things, and Shibasaki Makoto called him to the podium.

"Tomorrow is Friday, and Yoshikawa still can't come to the school. I asked Soya to send the questionnaire yesterday, so I can only ask you to go there again today and bring it to school tomorrow."

“…Is this what Yoshikawa called to tell the teacher?”

"Yes." Shibasaki Makoto nodded, "Although he is sick, Yoshikawa is still very concerned about the things at school."

"I think she's very energetic."

Turning his head and looking at Akane Kirino who had already arrived at Yoshikawa's seat waiting, Soya turned back expressionlessly, "I still have the intention to care about this kind of thing, so it's probably not a problem to come to school tomorrow."

"Did Soya meet Yoshikawa yesterday?"

"I saw it, I was lively and could eat three bowls in one meal."

"That's great." Shibasaki Makoto picked up the attendance book, smiled and said goodbye to the girls passing by under the podium, and looked at him again, "Nothing is more important than health."

"So, wait for her to myself tomorrow..."

"——The number of days of attendance this semester for Yoshikawa has met the requirements. Even if he doesn't come to the school for the next two weeks and only takes the final exam, it's okay."

Shibazaki Makoto looked at him, "Student Yoshikawa said that she won't come to school this week."

“…”

Soya twitched, and Shibasaki Makoto didn't stay in the classroom for much.

"Then please ask the classmate Zong Gu."

After packing up, he left school with Akane Kirino and Asukiri and boarded the tram back. Soya was still thinking about letting them go to Yoshikawa's house with him;

Until the contact was cut off in the past few days, Hongzi, who always passed messages through others, sent him two messages directly.

Yoshikawa: After thinking about it carefully, I still want to meet Soya alone.

Yoshikawa: I want to continue the previous topic. Is it OK?

“…”

Zong Gu put down his cell phone, and Chao Wuling in front of him looked up at him.

After reading the message, he already agreed in his heart.

Since she no longer hides, it is time to end this state of being unclear and broken. Just breaking up friendships and continuing to be friends requires a ritual of breaking up.

Just today.

Soya: OK.

......

Back at Kirino's old house, Soya put down his schoolbag, picked up a new mask and prepared to go out. Kirino Akane stopped him.

"Cherry carrot!"

“… I almost forgot.”

Zong Gu followed her to the backyard and pulled out some cherry radishes. He didn't clean it, keeping it fresh and covered with mud and sand.

"Put a basin and put it in it."

"Do I take the basin over?"

"No?"

"It's not very good... Forget it, I'll go find a bag myself."

Put the newly pulled cherry radish into a convenience bag. When Zong Gu was about to go out, Akane Kiri came over again and stuffed him the round radish he picked yesterday.

"This cherry radish must be handed over to Hongzi alone."

"The leaves are wilted..."

"The carrot is still a watery person."

"All right."

Zong Gu stuffed the radish into his pocket, picked up the bag and went out.

"Good afternoon, Mrs. Yoshikawa."

When he arrived at Yoshikawa's house, Mrs. Yoshikawa seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and opened the door quickly after he rang the doorbell.

"good afternoon."

She greeted him with a smile, "Zong Gujun came really time: I have to go out to do something, I will not come back at about eight or nine o'clock in the evening, so is Hongzi's father. During this period, Hongzi will ask you to take care of her for the time being.

.”

“…”

Zong Gu opened his mouth, not too surprised.

But they didn't come back until eight or nine o'clock in the evening. Isn't it too much time for him and Hongko to spend alone?

"Okay, I get it. Here are some cherry radishes, just pulled out of the ground."

"Oh, thank you...Song Gujun, come in first."

After welcoming him into the house, Mrs. Yoshikawa delivered the bag of radish to the kitchen, and then took him to the room upstairs.

Open the door and it was as dark as yesterday.

Hongzi lay on the bed with her back facing this side, and there was no movement when the door opened.

"Then I'll go out first."

"OK."

Walking to the stairs, Mrs. Yoshikawa stopped again and looked back at him.

"Zonggujun."

Sonogu looked over.

"Hongzi finally got up the courage again. No matter what choice, I hope that Zong Gujun can take it seriously."

“…”

He looked at her and nodded.

"I see."

Mrs. Yoshikawa smiled slightly and turned to go downstairs.

Soon, there was news of her going out.

After standing at the door for a while, Zong Gu walked into the room and pulled the curtains open.

It was bright outside the house, and the light shone in, filling the entire room.

He turned around, Hongzi buried herself on the pillow, looked at him with both eyes, and pulled the quilt up slightly.

"It's too bright..." she said with the initiative.

"Do you want to pull it up?"

"Need not."

Zong Gu put down the curtains and leaned against the window, "How do you feel today?"

“It’s much better.”

"That's good."

After looking at him for a while, Hongzi sat up and put her hands on the quilt, "Zonggu, help me get my glasses."

Zong Gu walked over and took up the glasses at the head of the bed to give them to her.

"Thanks."

Putting on his glasses, Hongzi followed the opportunity to signal him to sit down by the bed.

"Have mom gone out?"

“Go out.”

"Mom is going to have a date with her dad at the fine restaurant by Lake Biwa tonight."

It turned out that it was not just to leave room for them to be alone... No wonder they didn't come back until eight or nine o'clock.

Zong Gu smiled, "Of course my daughter is still sick?"

"It's incredible."

"yes."

"Zonggu."

"Um."

Hongzi looked at him, "I like Sonoya."

"Yeah." Soya looked at her, "Thank you."
