Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 297 Is This My Home (4000 words)
In front of you is a long road that keeps spreading forward, with the whistling river wind in your ears, the road ahead is shrouded in blurred white light, and everything is in a comfortable atmosphere.

The picture book style of the fairy tale book makes everything look bright for Chihaya Higashino.

She was talking with Higashinoji next to her.

Yesterday I went into my younger brother's room and found that he had borrowed some bad books from his classmates. She brought them over and made a special trip to call Higashinoji's classmate and severely criticized him.

Because of this, to this day, his younger brother Dong Yesi doesn't pay much attention to him.

Seeing Higashino Si's immature and childish appearance, and realizing that he still seems to be angry with him, Higashino Chihaya sighed dumbfounded.

She walked up to Higashinoji, raised her long hair by her ear with her hands, approached Higashinoji's ear, and whispered 'I'm sorry'.

Maybe it's the rebellious period, Dongyesi in front of him doesn't appreciate it.

So Higashino Chihaya could only helplessly look up at her parents.

Until then, Higashino Chihaya was slightly dazed.

Because she found that the parents' faces seemed to be covered by something. They were in a daze, and they couldn't see clearly at all.

But this didn't scare her, because no matter how her parents changed, they would stand behind her and Dong Yesi
They are still there.

For some reason, when Higashino Chihaya thought of the words 'they are still there', her heart couldn't help but ache.

When seeing this, not only Higashino Chihaya, but Konoe Suzuka on the other side also felt a little uncomfortable.

Her mother died shortly after she was born, leaving her with her father Konoe Tsushima.

Unlike Chihaya Higashino, Konoe Suzuka still has memories of Konoe Tsushima at that time, and perhaps there was a stage of watching herself like this.

It's just that maybe I was too tired living in school, so I never noticed this.

Higashino's painting full of memories not only made Chihaya Higashino immersed, but also the people next to him.

Even Ji Higashino, who had been caring about Chihaya Higashino, was a little tricked.

When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but sigh, this lethality is indeed a bit too strong.
While Higashino Division was thinking like this, Higashino Chihaya's gaze also turned to the third frame.

It is normal for parents to watch over their children.

But there is no Higashinoji's parents on the third screen at all, and even his own figure has disappeared.

In this picture, only Dong Yesi walked forward alone.

Higashino Chihaya seemed to have turned into a third perspective, turned into a spirit body, and followed behind Higashino Tsukasa.

The road ahead was still white in a trance.

Dong Yesi's footsteps did not stop.

Higashino Chihaya just looked at Higashino Si who kept moving forward, and a kind of indescribable sadness came out of his heart.

Is this really what I want and what I want to see?

Higashino Chihaya walked forward subconsciously, a little wanting to grab the palm of Higashino Si in front of him.

But what makes her helpless is that she now belongs to the third-person perspective, and she has no hands and feet at all. It is impossible to grasp the palm of Higashino Division.

In the final analysis, how is it possible for people to grasp the palms of the characters in oil paintings?
Just when Higashino Chihaya was hesitating and thinking, she felt a feeling of being held by the palm of her hand.

Yes.

I was held by the palm!

Chihaya Higashino, who was in reality, looked at her palm in surprise.

The oil painting in the third frame in front of me seems to have changed.

At some point, Higashino Si on the screen had turned around and reached out to hold Higashino Chihaya's palm.

And this incident was also seen by Takahashi Yumi, Fujiwara Aoi and the others.

The oil painting moved?

Can you turn around and hold hands?

Am I hallucinating?

Even Takahashi Yumi couldn't help stretching out her hand and rubbing her eyes, only to find that everything in front of her had returned to its original state.

Oil painting is still an oil painting, nothing has changed.

Takahashi Yumi swallowed hard: "Aoi, did you see it just now?"

"Of course I saw it." Fujiwara Aoi couldn't help but glance at Takahashi Yumi, and then muttered to herself: "Mr. Higashino's paintings are really good."

Really well drawn
She had never seen such an immersive oil painting.

Especially the feeling of being held by the palm. How is this thing drawn?There is no scientific basis.

They looked at their palms and were a little dazed.

But that's their business too.

Higashino Chihaya's eyes have already turned to the fourth frame.

It's still a long way to go.

But unlike the previous oil painting, Higashino Chihaya found herself being held by Higashino Tsukasa.

The two supported each other and walked forward step by step.

This is a long road, and it has not been finished even now, but for some reason, Higashino Chihaya just looked at Higashinoji beside him, and felt that he seemed to have the strength to continue walking.

But there was one more thing that Higashino Chihaya cared about.

What about the parents?
All along, what about the parents who supported me to move forward?

This is a big problem, Higashino Chihaya doesn't want to think about it, but she has to think about it.

then
She understood.

Yes, there is no flash of inspiration, no sudden enlightenment, turning the clouds and seeing the sun.

Chihaya Higashino just thought about it, and then got the answer.

"Both father and mother have passed away."

Higashino Chihaya lowered her head and muttered softly to herself.

It was she who sent her parents to the cremation with her own hands.

A person, no matter how great he was in life, can easily hold it in a small box after death
Yes.

His parents have passed away.

Higashino Chihaya thought of those two bloody faces again.

But this time, Higashino Chihaya was surprisingly not afraid.

There was no sense of sadness either.

She just bowed heavily to the man and woman.

Then he held onto the palm of Higashino Si beside him, and walked forward.

She didn't seem to want to look back.

But every time he took two steps, Higashino Chihaya would secretly look back.

The parents were left far behind, watching her and Higashinosi quietly, their faces that should have been bloody and bloody returned to their original gentle expressions.

Looking at the parents who have been thrown a long distance by himself and Higashinoji.

Higashino Chihaya's eyes glistened with tears, and the snot came out together uncontrollably, saying that there was no problem in communicating with each other.

But Higashino Chihaya did not cry in the end.

For her, this seems to be the last chance to see her parents.

She didn't want her parents to see her embarrassed appearance.

So she turned around and turned her back.

Then reach out.

He waved gently to the parents who stayed behind and could never keep up.

It's like waving goodbye.

It's like beckoning them back
This also naturally constitutes the oil painting of the fourth frame.

After finishing the whole painting, Higashino Chihaya felt that her body was a little out of strength, and suddenly softened.

This move made Higashino, who had been preparing by the side, approach him without hesitation, and supported him.

He didn't ask Chihaya Higashino any extra words.

Because the other party is obviously still in the chaotic stage.

There were tears all over his face, and his eyes were very loose.

As soon as she saw Dong Yesi, she yelled 'Asi, Asi'.

This not only made Higashino Division's heart sink, but even Takahashi Yumi and Fujiwara Aoi next to him looked heavy.

Because Higashino Chihaya still used the innocent tone, similar to the tone of a three or four-year-old child.

Shouldn't you still not come back?
They didn't think too much, they immediately followed, supported Higashino Chihaya, wiped off her face, and put her on the bed to lie down.

Looking at Chihaya Higashino who fell asleep, Koizumi Asuka, who recorded the whole process on the other side, also wiped the sweat from his white forehead.

Then she smiled and said to Higashino Division: "Although we can't confirm whether Ms. Higashino will return to normal, this is definitely a great improvement in terms of her condition. At least we know how to cure her."

Similarly, Koizumi Asuka is also very interested in Higashinoji's paintings
She had seen Dongyesi take out this oil painting before, but she didn't expect to have such a sense of spiritual substitution.

white light.

childhood.

Picture book
Everything looked so beautiful.

She sighed: "If Higashino-san's ambition is to be a psychiatrist, he might be able to achieve quite a great achievement."

"Dr. Koizumi thinks too highly of me, so I'll trouble Dr. Koizumi in summarizing my condition." Higashino said casually.

"Yeah. But I want to wait for Miss Dongye to wake up here. Use this to judge her condition."

Asuka Koizumi nodded, and turned to look at Chihaya Higashino on the bed.

The waiting time is undoubtedly boring and tedious.

But during this waiting, no one said a word, even Yumi Takahashi, who was usually the most cheerful, looked at Chihaya Higashino on the bed worriedly, hoping that she would wake up early.

And this waited for an hour.

At about eleven o'clock in the morning, Higashino Chihaya finally woke up.

This lifted Konoe Lianghua and the others.

At least nothing went wrong.

But what happened next, they couldn't laugh anymore.

Chihaya Higashino still seemed to be in the same happy mood as before. There was no sign of coming back at all.

Today's treatment plan.
Could it be that it failed?
Takahashi Yumi and Fujiwara Aoi, including Konoe Suzuka and Koizumi Asuka, all left.

Because they all want Dong Yesi to be quiet.

After all, Higashino Division has been preparing for so long, and then there is no result.
This must have been a bit of a blow to him.

Of course they were ashamed to continue to stay.

After seeing off everyone who came to help, Higashino Division turned to look at Higashino Chihaya in the living room.

Higashino Chihaya still seemed to be the same, seeing Higashino Si looking over, she just smiled cheerfully.

Yes it's still the same.

but--

"Miss Qianzao, there is no one else, so you don't have to pretend."

Dong Yesi suddenly spoke.

"Huh? Ash...?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Higashino Chihaya was immediately taken aback.

"Miss Chihaya and I have lived together for a long time, and I can tell at a glance whether such a small matter has changed." Higashinoji replied.

Higashino Division and Higashino Chihaya have lived together for almost two years.

Many times, with Chihaya Higashino's eyes and actions, Higashino Si knew what she wanted to do next.

Of course he could feel something was wrong.

Feeling Higashino Tsukasa's gaze, Higashino Chihaya also paused.

She also stopped talking, her big eyes just looked at Higashinoji.

His eyebrows and eyes, which always had a melancholic temperament, were raised and drooped feebly
In the end, she walked up to Dong Yesi's side step by step, stretched out her hand to grab the corner of his clothes, and said softly: "Asi, both father and mother have passed away."

"Yeah." Higashinosi nodded in agreement.

Hearing Higashino Tsukasa's confession, Higashino Chihaya gritted his teeth, tears could no longer be held back, and fell down rustlingly.

She held on to the corner of Dongyesi's clothes tightly and didn't let go for a long, long time.

People are dead.

This is not something that can be simply mentioned in a single stroke as in the novel.

Just like a car accident in real life, the sight of blood and flesh is enough to scare people.

Not to mention that for Higashino Chihaya, it was his relatives who died.

Even if she has accepted it now, she still can't suppress the desire to cry in her heart.

Dong Yesi could only pat her on the back to comfort her.

He has never met the original owner's parents, so if he is asked to say that he actually understands Chihaya Higashino very well, it is basically hypocritical sympathy.

He can only say that he is very grateful to the parents of the original owner.

Likewise, hope they do well in another world too.

Compared with the original Higashino Chihaya, the current Higashino Chihaya has indeed changed.

Compared with the original Higashino Chihaya, she has a more slender mind, so she also has a well-bred feeling before raising her hands and feet.

But the key parts haven't changed much.

When she saw that she had accidentally spilled tears and snot on Higashinoji's chest, she immediately began to take off Higashinoji's clothes to wash him.
This sudden move made Dong Yesi startled.

"There is a washing machine at home." Seeing Chihaya Higashino who still wanted to take off his clothes to wash, Higashino Tsukasa reminded him while grabbing his clothes.

Don't tell me, Higashino Chihaya is really strong, she looks thin and weak.

"Huh? Washing machine? I don't remember selling it before. Ah Si is trying to lie to my sister?"

Higashino Chihaya couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, and then whispered something.

She was not deceived at all, and she still had to undress herself.

This left Higashino Division with nothing to say.

But the same.

Dong Yesi also found out.

Higashino Chihaya's memory seems to have a fault stage.

She doesn't remember living like this with herself for two years.

You know, not only the washing machine, but also the dryer in the house.

However, Chihaya Higashino insisted on taking off her clothes, and Tsukasa Higashino could only temporarily surrender in the end.

He can be seen.

Chihaya Higashino probably just returned to a normal state, and her brain is still a little down, otherwise she wouldn't have just reached out to take off her clothes.

Let her get used to it.

Higashino shook his head, went back to his room and changed into new clothes, leaving Higashino Chihaya where he was.

And Chihaya Higashino, who finally took off Higashino Tsukasa's clothes, stood still, just about to go to the bathroom to wash the clothes, and then realized——

"Hey?"

Higashino Chihaya tilted her head, her pretty face looked a little silly.

The exquisitely decorated interior in front of you looks like expensive furniture
After a while, she couldn't help touching her little head, her face full of bewilderment:

"Is this my home?"

It doesn't look like it's been renovated either.

Why does it feel like you just changed to a new house?
　Thanks to Tianyu Tianze, Zhonghuayimin, The Fading Dead, Yueshangjiang, Zhifeifei for their rewards!Thank you so much!
