Chapter 52: The Temple at Sunset
Chapter 52 Temple under the Sunset
In May, Madrid was full of spring, and Ikawa Haruka had adapted to school life very well.
In her spare time, she would go to the club to visit Jie Shiyi from time to time. Of course, most of the time, Jie Shiyi and her would have a light bulb Caesar between them.
Therefore, Jie Shiyi came to Ikawa Haruka's apartment very early today. Today was a world for the two of them, and Jie Shiyi had planned for this for a long time.
Jie Shiyi skillfully unlocked the door with his fingerprint. He stretched out his arm with a straightforward smile and made an invitation gesture: "I'm here to pick you up, my princess."
Ikawa Haruka put the white satin gloves into the wheat-colored palm: "It's an honor."
The girl raised her eyebrows lightly, and a faint smile slipped across her lips. She was wearing a pure white dress with a white knitted shawl on her shoulders.
The girl in all white, with blue diamonds on her white earlobes.
That was the first expensive gift that Jie Shiyi gave to Haruka Ishikawa after receiving his annual salary. It was two flawless gems that looked like the tears of the goddess of the sea that he got from the gem merchant introduced by King Ling.
May is the season of blooming flowers. Roses of different colors are blooming in the rose garden in Retiro Park.
They walked hand in hand in the garden, and the fragrance of roses filled their noses.
Haruka Ishikawa's brown eyes were focused on watching the garden full of roses, while Jie Shiyi took a quick glance and focused on the person in front of him.
Jie Shiyi looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, and he thought that any rose in the garden could not compare to the white rose he held in his palm and planted in his heart.
Whenever Haruka Ishikawa looked at him with light and transparent eyes, he was reluctant to say no to her, and even more reluctant to see those bright eyes dim.
Whenever Haruka Ishikawa's indifferent face melted the ice and snow the moment she saw him, he would think that he was the special one, and he would be secretly happy about it.
Neatly trimmed branches, beautifully shaped flower beds...
Haruka Ishikawa sighed: "They must have been carefully cared for, each one is so delicate and beautiful."
Jie Shiyi tidied her temples: "How can a carefully watered and cultivated flower be eclipsed?" Just like Haruka Ishikawa, it is a rose that his family and he nurtured with love.
The blooming period of roses in the rose garden is very short, and they will wither and die in the near future.
But his rose will not face the fate of decay, she will bloom forever and her blooming period will be immortal.
Because she is a rose that grows with love and romance as nutrients, and he happens to have eternal love and romance for her.
Walking out of the garden, they came to the lake.
The lake was sparkling, and the swans stretched their bodies gracefully on the water. On the lake, there were wooden boats floating on the lake in groups of three or two, and people had relaxed and happy smiles on their faces.
Haruka Ishikawa and Jie Shiyi sat on a bench by the lake, and they tore off small pieces of bread they brought with them and sprinkled them on the place where the swans gathered.
Ishikawa Haruka casually asked, "How many years is your contract with Real?"
Jie Shiyi said without hesitation, "Six years."
Ishikawa Haruka leaned her head lightly on Jie Shiyi's shoulder, and she silently held the boy's arm tightly, "Will you play in the new season?" She actually knew how their relationship would end, but now she didn't want to think too much.
Jie Shiyi didn't notice the fluctuations in Ishikawa Haruka's heart, and his calm and gentle voice sounded above Ishikawa Haruka's head, "Probably, but probably as a substitute."
"But I will definitely become a regular player, and then come and watch my game." He is still relatively inferior now, and Ishikawa Haruka doesn't need to go to the stadium to watch a game where he doesn't know whether he will play or not.
Ishikawa Haruka looked up at the blue eyes that were like falling stars, and her voice was like the falling notes played by the gods on the harp: "Okay."
Jie Shiyi wanted to become the world's number one striker, and she wanted to focus on her career.
The two of them couldn't compromise for each other, and she knew that one day in the future they would eventually go to different crossroads.
She knew that even if they were separated, Jie Shiyi would definitely be able to wait until the day they reunited.
However, she was not someone who would stay still or be good at waiting.
Thinking of this, Ikawa Haruka slowly said: "Shiyi, what if one day we have to be separated for a long time?"
Jie Shiyi held her cheek and put their foreheads together: "Then we will definitely reunite one day!"
He kissed the girl's forehead lightly: "I can also go to find you, no matter where you are, I will run to you."
Ikawa Haruka suddenly laughed, his answer was really as she expected.
While the two were talking, a long-haired man with blond hair and blue eyes walked towards them.
Ikawa Haruka listened to the man patiently and asked Jie Shiyi's opinion.
He is a painter, and he is sketching here today.
He just saw Jie Shiyi kissing Ikawa Haruka's forehead, so he wanted to discuss with them whether they could draw that scene and take it to the competition.
Ikawa Haruka and Jie Shiyi smiled at each other and agreed to the painter's request. They maintained the posture just now and let the painter take a photo and make a line drawing.
"If it's convenient, could you please leave your address? I'll give it to you after the competition."
Jie Shiyi left the club's address. He was looking forward to the appearance of the painting after it was completed.
At dusk, they came to the Temple of Debod together.
This temple, which came to them from ancient times across the long river of history, was filled with an ancient and magnificent atmosphere.
The pink and purple sunset in the sky and the pools around the temple formed a magnificent picture, surrounded by people hugging each other and enjoying the sunset.
Facing such a dreamy scene, Jie Shiyi took Haruka Ishikawa's hands and walked through the crowded crowd to the highest point on the top of the temple mountain.
The boy's voice came into his ears along with the warm spring breeze, and the lingering voice was mixed with the boy's everlasting love.
"Haruka, don't worry about what you are thinking. You just need to call my name, and I will do everything I can to appear in front of you anytime and anywhere."
Jie Shiyi picked up Haruka Ishikawa's wrist and kissed the girl's fingertips. "If my love makes you panic and troubles you, I will automatically withdraw at that time."
He wanted to let his rose know that he would not let her get hurt no matter what. Even if it was him who hurt her, he would cut it off without hesitation.
Haruka Ishikawa couldn't help but murmured to such an affectionate boy: "What if one day I can't wait for you?"
Jie Shiyi's eyes were pure enough to burn the sun: "Then you keep moving forward."
He didn't want the girl to wait for anyone and wrong herself for anyone.
If one day he needs the girl to wait, it only means that he is not the one who can move forward with her.
He knows what the girl means, he needs to stay in Spain for football. And Haruka Ishikawa will not compromise for her, she also has a career in Japan that she needs to pursue.
On that day, he will choose to return her to the world.
He believes that he will personally let the rose return to his arms.
