53 The hidden thoughts of cherry blossoms
◎If I knew you were coming, I wouldn’t have come◎
Fūya Rei watched helplessly as the small cake right in front of him sank, slowly raised his eyelashes, and looked at Hanano Chiheko who was biting the small cake tightly without avoiding or avoiding.
The breeze blew through the golden hair on Rei's forehead, and the cherry blossoms scattered in the wind fell on Chihoko Hanano's lips, emitting a light fragrance different from that of the cakes.
Chihoko Hanano looked at the petals in front of her with extreme concentration. Because they were too close, she almost saw double.
Fūya Rei's emotions were also scattered in the night wind, with a hint of bitterness.
"Here, take it. It will be easier to eat."
Furiya Rei held Hanano Chihoko's hand and held the tray steady.
"Yeah, okay." Hanano Chiheko turned around to face the playground and buried her head in her food, but the small cake in her mouth was inexplicably not as delicious as before.
Furuya Rei also tilted his head to look at the people walking and chatting on the playground, and suddenly asked Hanano Chiheko, "Now that your internship is over, what are your plans?"
Hanano Chiheko swallowed the last bite and thought for a moment. "Maybe after graduation."
"What about after graduation? Will you...stay here?"
"My brother asked me to consider going abroad before." Hanano Chihoko said this with a bit of surprise. Logically speaking, Gin would never send her away on his own initiative unless it was necessary.
"Going abroad..."
Fūya Rei tightened his fingers and looked at Hanano Chiheko: "So what do you think?"
"Hmm..." Hanano Chiheko sighed. "If I go abroad, I'll probably be reluctant to leave."
"who?"
"You guys." Hanano Chiheko hugged her knees and buried her head in her arms, hiding the slightly red cheeks. "I can't bear to leave you all."
Furiya Rei looked at Hanano Chiheko for a while, then suddenly smiled softly.
Hanano Chiheko looked up in surprise. Her slightly sad mood was instantly destroyed by Furuya Rei. She couldn't help but ask angrily, "What are you laughing at?"
Fūya Ling covered his mouth with the back of his hand, not daring to speak, but his eyes curved, "It's not like you won't be back in the future. If you really miss us... then I can come visit you."
"Haha." Hanano Chiheko curled her lips. "A top student at the police academy like you will be busy somewhere by then. How could you possibly remember me on the other side of the ocean..."
"How can you curse people like that?"
Furuya Rei patted Hanano Chihoko's head in amusement. "Even if I'm really that busy, I won't forget my good friend. Besides... you're such a heartless person. It was you who abandoned me first, so how dare you turn around and blame me?"
After being reminded by Furuya Rei, Hanano Chiheko suddenly remembered that she seemed to have planned to go abroad in advance.
Hanano Chiheko felt a little guilty for a moment, "Oh my, it's my fault, okay? Besides, we don't know what will happen in the future."
Hanano Chiheko stood up, stretched, and walked down a flight of stairs. She turned around and looked at Furuya Rei, who was sitting and looking at her. "I'm the worst at planning, so it's too early to talk about the future. Isn't it better to just openly welcome the surprises every day?"
Upon hearing this, the uneasiness in his expression gradually faded away, and his face softened.
Yes, every day is a surprise...
“dala, dalala~”
Chihoko Hanano hummed a cheerful tune and just returned to the school infirmary when she saw Tomoaki Aida making coffee.
"Sister, why are you so happy after running today?"
"Ah, is that so?" Hanano Chiheko realized something and her eyes flashed. "Maybe... it's because of the little cake."
"Oh?" Niide Tomoaki glanced at Hanano Chiheko, picked up the cup and stirred it with a spoon, "Is that so?"
Hanano Chihoko was intoxicated by the aroma of coffee and asked, "Drinking coffee so late at night?"
"I can't help it." Speaking of this, Aida Tomoaki pointed to the computer screen behind him which was still lit, "My internship report is coming too."
Compared to Hanano Chihoko's frequent internship reports, Aishide Tomoaki is relatively freer and only needs to submit them in the last few months.
But it's only a matter of time.
"Alas." Hanano Chiheko said with emotion: "Good times are always short."
"If you like it here, you can apply to stay in school," suggested Tomoaki Niide.
Hanano Chiheko inexplicably recalled Furuya Rei's words and shook her head. "After graduation, this place might not be so worth staying here for."
The training days passed by in a flash, and in the blink of an eye it was the day of the sports meet.
If you think about it carefully, this is the first time that Chihoko Hanano has participated in a large-scale school-level event since she started her internship at the police academy.
Chihoko Hanano's excitement was beyond words.
Mr. Nakajima needs to be on duty at the competition site to prevent any accidents.
Tomoaki Araido had to be on duty, so Chihoko Hanano had to come alone.
When Chihoko Hanano ran to the playground, she found that the steps beside the playground were full of police academy students.
The crowds were noisy, and at a glance, they were as densely packed as ants, making it impossible to tell where was where.
Chihoko Hanano originally wanted to call someone, but her phone stopped working at the critical moment, so she could only lock the camera with her own eyes on the spot.
Today's sun made Hanano Chiheko feel warm, and she even had the illusion that summer was coming. Hanano Chiheko shielded the sun with her hands and squinted her eyes to look for acquaintances.
"Haha, I told you not to eat so much spicy food yesterday. You can't go on stage!" A hearty voice sounded behind her. Hanano Chiheko heard the familiar voice and turned around.
Shibata Masakazu was hugging his pale-faced good friend to "comfort" him.
Shibata Masami glanced over and saw Hanano Chihoko. He immediately gave his friend a push and came over, "Why don't you go sit over there? It's too sunny here!"
Hanano Chiheko, the tour guide who had come to her doorstep, certainly wouldn't refuse. "I was just about to go over, but I don't know where the seats for the Onizuka class are."
"Onitsuka Class, let me think..."
Shibata Masakazu strained his brain for a rare moment, then suddenly remembered something and pointed to the two o'clock direction. "Right... huh?"
Chihoko Hanano looked in the direction of Shibata Masakazu's finger in confusion, and at this time, Furuya Rei and Matsuda Jinpei happened to run nearby.
"Right...right here." This is too much of a coincidence, Shibata Masakazu scratched his head in confusion.
Furiya Rei put away his phone and looked at Hanano Chiheko. "Why didn't you answer the phone? It seems you already have a guide."
"Oh, what a coincidence, what a coincidence." Hanano Chiheko laughed and turned to Shibata Shoichi and said, "Since we've found the person, I'll be leaving first. I'll cheer you on later."
For some reason, as soon as Hanano Chiheko finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room felt a little off.
Chihoko Hanano looked at the silent Furuya Rei and Matsuda Jinpei, then at Shibata Shoichi, and a big question mark gradually appeared in her head.
"You... probably don't know what I'm competing for." Shibata Masakazu asked, touching his nose.
"Ah, it's better to cheer up than anything else, right?" Chihoko Hanano was obviously still out of the situation.
The preparatory whistle sounded, and waves of spontaneous cheers from the police cadets rang out one after another.
Matsuda Jinpei was the first to break the silence, coming up and nimbly grabbing Hanano Chihoko's wrist. "Let's go, the sports meet is about to start."
"Oh oh." Chihoko Hanano had just made a cheering gesture to Shoichi Shibata when she was pulled away by Jinpei Matsuda.
Furuya Rei was originally standing there. When Hanano Chiheko passed by him, she tugged at his arm and said, imitating Matsuda Jinpei's tone, "Let's go. How come you left yourself behind when you came to pick someone up?"
