I am the one holding the Higan flower in my hand

She felt a little guilty, but she sincerely hoped that Lord Wuhan would not be angry.

Kuriyama Kuriko’s first stop was a bookstore that she had visited once.

"If you find out, you will definitely be taught a lesson. Fortunately, I won't say anything." Kuriyama Kuriko stood at the door of the bookstore. She raised her eyes and read the words on the plaque carefully, "Asakusa House."

Slowly reciting the three words she didn't recognize the last time she came here, after reciting them several times, she didn't know why, but she suddenly started to laugh in her heart.

The whole person was firmly wrapped in a happy mood, it was so...happy——

A shiver beyond words.

"It's Miss Lizi, why are you standing at the door?"

Kuriyama Kuriko, who was so focused on reading the words on the plaque that he forgot to enter the store, heard a gentle female voice in his ears. Because she had only met him once, this voice felt familiar yet strange to her.

But that gentle tone brought Kuriyama Kuriko back to the memories of the last time in an instant, and she found the feeling she had when they got along last time.

"Do you remember me?" Kuriyama Kuriko is not such a direct person, but for some reason, when she sees the green-eyed girl standing at the door of the store and looking at her with a smile, she can't help but say the last thing directly. Real emotions.

Do you still remember me? We only spent half an hour together.

And now it's been four months.

"Well, remember," Kotonoha walked out of the bookstore, walked to Kuriyama Kuriko, and stood with her, "Are you looking at the plaque? This look reminds me of the first time I learned to read."

"I've been watching this for a long time."

For them, this is more than just literacy, it means they are exposed to a whole new world and have the opportunity to get out of the quagmire.

Kuriyama Kuriko turned her head and saw a nostalgic look on Kotonoha's face.

"It seems you learned well," Kotonoha said.

"Well, yes," Li Zi almost couldn't wait to tell what he had gained during this period, his voice rising unconsciously, "I've learned a lot of words and read a lot of stories..."

She talked endlessly about the book she was reading. The green-eyed girl smiled and responded from time to time. Kuriyama Kuriko finally realized her embarrassment, and her cheeks turned red, ""Thank you very much for recommending the book, help me. It’s been a big help,”

The books recommended by the other party were very suitable and made her study easy.

At first glance, it comes from the experience of previous generations.

"I'm relieved that I can help you," Kotonoha said, walking forward. When Li Zi didn't move, she curled her lips and said, "Come in, it's still quite cold outside at this time of night."

His eyes fell on Kuriyama Kuriko's thin clothes, "Are you wearing a little less clothes? Be careful of catching a cold."

Kotonoha felt worried and frowned slightly.

Although there were spare clothes in the store, it was only the second time for the two of them to meet. Presumptuously asking if they wanted to wear them would only embarrass the other party.

So, Kotonoha just led Kuriyama Kuriko up to the second floor, and asked him to sit down slightly forcefully, while pouring a cup of warm ginger tea for the guest.

After a person becomes a ghost, his sense of taste and smell will change, and he will be unable to swallow human food.

This ginger tea full of love made Kuriyama Kurizi shed noodles-wide tears in her heart.

It's terrible, this is...

"Drink some ginger tea to warm yourself up," the hospitable host said, unaware of the guest's sadness. He just wanted to keep the guests warm from afar and brought out various pastries.

Kuriyama Kuriko had never seen such exquisite pastry. If the other party hadn't said it was pastry, she wouldn't have understood what it was.

Is this Tokyo?

A city like a dream.

To the ghost's sense of smell, it didn't smell good, so Kuriyama Kuriko picked up a piece and tasted it carefully. Well, it tastes similar to the bark I ate when I was a kid. You can eat it when you’re hungry.

What does it taste like to humans?

For the first time, Kuriyama Kuriko felt regretful. Why can't ghosts taste human food? This problem is too big. Hasn’t Lord Wuhan thought about solving this problem?

If you eat the same food all the time, you will feel bad.

"How about it?"

The look in the other person's eyes was very expectant. Kuriyama Kuriko was thinking about how to praise him, but he could only feel the rough bark in his mouth. He couldn't accurately describe the taste of the snacks. "It's delicious. It's my first time to eat such delicious snacks." .”

She said, with tears in her heart, why she couldn't really taste the dim sum.

Kuriyama Kuriko, who originally had no goals, now has a goal in her mind, that is, as a ghost, she also wants to taste all kinds of delicious food.

A trace of distress flashed in Kotonoha's eyes, and then she fell silent into some memories. She picked up a snack from the plate and ate it in small bites, "When I saw Ms. Lizi, I seemed to see the old me."

She smiled slowly, "I only started to learn to read when I became an adult. Only when I saw Tokyo did I realize that 'the world can be like this'."

"you....."

Kuriyama Kuriko considers her to be a girl from a well-off family. She tells her poor past without any care, "I should be living in a poor place like Miss Kuriko."

The green-eyed girl picked up the ginger tea on the table and drank it with a slight smile on her face.

There is no avoidance or sadness about the poor past in her eyes. She calmly accepts her past poverty and ignorance and does not feel embarrassed about it.

"Do you want to know my story?" Kotonoha saw that Kuriyama Kuriko wanted to know her story, but was too embarrassed to ask, so she asked if she wanted to hear it.

Kuriyama Kuriko nodded.

Kotonoha nodded and randomly dropped a bombshell message, "I'm married and have a five-year-old child."

"Hey——" This news shocked Kuriyama Kuriko, who almost jumped up from the stool. She stared at Kotonoha with wide eyes. The girl in front of her looked like seventeen or eighteen at most. A five-year-old child, which means that the other party was born when she was fifteen. Already?

Well, it seems normal, but there don’t seem to be many babies born at the age of fifteen. Most of them get married at this age.

"Ah, I don't seem to have mentioned my age. I am already twenty-two years old this year," Kotonoha said with a smile, seeing Kuriyama Kuriko's shocked eyes again.

Many twenty-two-year-old women in this era have traces of life on their faces due to hard work.

Fine lines and dull skin color.

But Kotonoha didn't have any of it, her skin was smooth and elastic, and Kuriyama Kuriko didn't even see any pores, like a hard-boiled egg that she could only eat once in a while.

The eyelids are white, with no red blood streaks visible.

"So it shouldn't be a surprise to have a five-year-old."

"You look very young," Kuriyama Kuriko said sincerely.

"I should be modest," Kotonoha's lips curved into a smile, "but because of some people, I thought, well, 'Thank you very much for your compliment, it's all thanks to my husband'."

This is not the first time Kuriyama Kuriko has heard words about her husband from Kotonoha Kotonoha, and the sweet smile on her face, and she is a little curious, "It seems that your husband is really good to you, you Just marry him so early."

"Ah, no, sorry, I forgot that you are twenty-two years old."

This was completely a compliment, and Kotonoha couldn't help but laugh, "Thank you for the compliment, but my child is not my current husband's."

"——" Kuriyama Kuriko.

Quite easily, Kotonoha knew exactly what reaction her words would have, and she didn't look surprised at all when she saw Kuriyama Kuriko's pupils trembling.

This made Kuriyama Kuriko couldn't help but wonder if the other party was teasing her on purpose.

"Really, I swear," Kotonoha made a gesture of swearing.

Kuriyama Kuriko had no choice but to believe it. She sighed endlessly and found it incredible, "It's unbelievable that there is such a man." In her village, if a man dies, a woman will remarry.

The child must have been left at the dead husband's house. The new man would never accept his woman with her previous child.

"Hey, is your child by your side?" Thinking of this, Kuriyama Kuriko realized that she subconsciously thought that Kotonoha's child was standing by her side, but he didn't say that he was by her side.

"Well, the child's father has a bad temper. If something doesn't go his way, he will use force. Then I escaped."

"Then I met my current husband."

"You're so good-looking..." He actually hit you. Kuriyama Kuriko wanted to say this, but stopped talking. It is a normal thing for a man to hit a woman, and there is no need for a reason.

Thinking this way, she became a little depressed, "It's really annoying.

"Why are these people always like this?"

"Maybe some weak people can't resist the strong and can only swing their fists at the weaker people," Kotonoha said calmly. She was still gentle and gentle. She didn't let it go when she mentioned this angry past. She became violent.

At the same time, there was no discomfort.

Emotionally stable women have completely turned this story around, not caring and not afraid.

The first time he heard this kind of words, Kuriyama Rizi recited it several times in his mouth. His eyes were confused the first time, gradually became clear, and then light.

"You're right." After becoming a ghost and gaining power far beyond that of a human being, Kuriyama Kuriko could clearly feel some changes in her heart, but she couldn't tell what had changed.

At this moment, she understood.

Her strength gave her the ability to punch others, but she wasn't the strongest. There are far more powerful people than her in this world.

She is the weak one in front of that sentence.

How should she choose her future?
