After waiting for a while, the 32-minute train bound for Koganei arrived at the station.

Shiraishi got on the train as usual and wandered around in the familiar carriage for about 20 minutes. He got off at Yokohama Station and transferred to the Keikyu Line, which is symbolized by its red body. The express train he took was bound for Misakiguchi, the front foot of Kanagawa Prefecture, which looks like a puppy. Although it is an express train, it does not require additional fees and can be ridden with a regular ticket.

Shiraishi avoided the crowd and came to a position closer to the front of the train. After the train started, he stood by the door and looked at the scenery outside the train. When he first entered school, he could not guess where the train was going even if he looked outside the train, but after six months of school, he roughly knew where the train was. What kind of building or facility came into view, this knowledge was naturally mastered.

After the train had been running for a while, Shiraishi saw the prefecture's leading high school baseball school. As long as you see this school, it means that the train is about to arrive at the nearest station to the school. Before arriving at the station, Shiraishi passed the time by looking at the advertisements in the car. A banner advertisement of a fashion magazine with Mai on the cover was hung on the roof of the car. "That dress is so cute."

"It's cute because the person wearing it is Mai Sakurajima."

"Indeed..." Two girls who looked like school students were discussing.

"And she is even cuter in person." One of the girls said.

"Really, this world is so unfair," another girl echoed.

Inadvertently, Shiraishi realized that he had been staring in a certain direction for a long time. That inadvertent gaze seemed to be about to touch some subtle boundaries. He quickly adjusted his sight and let his eyes wander in the surrounding scenery. This subtle movement, like a ship looking for a safe harbor, finally allowed him to lock onto a familiar figure - Akagi Ikumi, who was standing quietly on the other side of the next car door.

She leaned against the car door with one shoulder in a casual elegance, but her back was as straight as a pine tree, showing a unique tenacity and confidence. In her hands, she held a thick book with complicated English letters engraved on the cover. Undoubtedly, it was a foreign book with equally profound content. Her eyes were focused and deep, as if the whole world was condensed between the pages of the book.

Shiraishi's heart could not help but ripple. This junior high school classmate had been gone for more than three years since the day he entered school. The reunion that day was brief and hasty, but it was enough to re-interweave each other's memories. However, since that chance encounter, the worlds of the two seemed to have returned to parallel tracks and never intersected again.

"You... are Shiraishi?"

"And you, are Akagi?"

The simple greeting carried traces of the past years, but also foreshadowed the uncertainty of the future. With the appearance of Kazuka, Yushi hurriedly said goodbye, leaving behind only a faint back view and a brisk "goodbye". Shiraishi knew that the friendship between them was not deep enough for him to take the initiative to cross the invisible boundary and seek more exchanges.

Half a year has passed, and Shiraishi only knows about Yushi that she has chosen the nursing department. Although the medical and nursing departments of his school have different goals, they have overlapped because of the setting of common subjects.

In the weekly general education courses, students from the nursing department can occasionally be seen shuttling around the campus. At the party last week, the figures of two boys from the nursing department and a girl from the medical department reminded Shiraishi of Yushi, the girl who also worked silently in the medical hall.

At this moment, when Shiraishi's eyes accidentally met Yushi again, she seemed to notice something and turned her head gently. The glasses in her memory were gone, but her eyes were still bright, as if they could see into people's hearts.

She blinked gently, twice, three times, and then resumed her previous posture and continued her reading, only occasionally glancing at the rain outside the window that had stopped at some point.

As the tram slowly stopped, Shiraishi and Yushi's encounter also came to a quiet end. He walked out of the car, stepped onto the platform, passed through the ticket gate, and stepped into a brand new world - Kanazawa Hakkei Station, a place that has been renovated and rejuvenated. Modern facilities and convenient transportation networks made him feel unprecedented convenience and comfort.

After passing through the station, he set foot on the road to school. The scenery along the way was both familiar and unfamiliar, but every step was full of longing and expectation for the future. When he stepped into the campus, the straight ginkgo trail was like a road to his dream, leading him forward. The comprehensive gymnasium, the playground, the main school building... Every place carries the sweat and dreams of students.

The aftermath of last Friday was stirred up again when Takumi approached with curiosity. ".What happened later? You and Meidong just left like that, and the boys were all dissatisfied." Takumi's words were a bit teasing, and his eyes flashed with a glimmer of inquiry. .
