The branches of the elm trees were adorned with vibrant green, and the spring sunlight trickled down through the gaps between the leaves.
On their way to school, boys and girls who hadn't seen each other for two weeks of spring break were exchanging joyful laughter and playful shoves.
A gust of wind from afar made the cherry blossoms dance, and Dubian Che waved away the petals about to land on his shoulder.
"Dislike cherry blossoms?"
"Just by seeing what's right in front of you, you try to guess everything about someone. That's arrogance. You should change that, Kiyono."
Dubian Che turned his face to look at Kiyono Lin amidst the shower of cherry blossoms.
The slope, the cherry trees, the brand-new uniforms, the dappled sunlight, her gentle figure.
Those guys who rode bicycles to school, their earlier annoyingly loud bell ringing suddenly sounded cheerful.
Kiyono Lin gave him a gentle smile, and Dubian Che felt a chill down his spine.
