[Brother Wars] April

Thick fog shrouded in front of her eyes, and April stood there suspiciously.Suddenly, a soft and soothing singing sound came from a distance, full of deep affection.

Her heart was beating violently, she turned around and started running, her black and white eyes were shining brightly.

"The dark sky hangs low, and the bright stars follow. Bugs fly, bugs fly, who are you missing..."

Pushing aside the shallow flowing mist, Siyue panted and looked up, the corners of her mouth involuntarily raised.

In the warm and quiet room, the woman lay on the bed and propped herself up, singing softly to coax the children to sleep, her beautiful eyes filled with tenderness.Sunlight spreads in from the large floor-to-ceiling windows, interweaving a place of brilliance.

April turned her head to the side, the bright sunlight made her squint her eyes.

Open your eyes, the surrounding is quiet.Si Yue stood up, sat on the bed blankly, turned her head and looked out the window, the sky was slightly bright.

Are Mei and Mom back home?

Thinking of this, she struggled to get out of bed and hurried out of the room.What came into view was the doors of the rooms, no longer the living room she was familiar with, without that warm back.

Standing in a daze in the corridor, she suddenly remembered.This is Japan, not Miwa's mother's home.

Lowering her head, she looked blankly at her own long black shadow cast by the light.She moved her body, and the shadow followed.

Curving the corners of her lips, Siyue raised her left foot, and the shadow disappeared with her left foot.As if she found something interesting, she put her hands and feet lightly on the empty corridor, playing around.

After a while, she suppressed her smile and turned back to her room.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Si Yue picked up the phone, frowning and thinking.

Calling Meihe's mother now will disturb her, right?Did Mei sleep with mom?Are you on the phone with Rintaro's father?Or are you having a long talk with Ema?

Meihe's mother...would she miss her?

Staring at the phone with a complex expression, one guess after another passed through April's mind.

"Si Yue, answer the phone~ Si Yue, answer the phone~" Suddenly, a bell rang slowly, with her familiar voice, flashing on the screen: Meihe Mom.

Siyue took a few deep breaths, and hurriedly picked it up, "...Hello?"

"Well, I just woke up. Are Mei and Mom still asleep?" The right hand resting on the bed sheet curled up unconsciously, grabbing a wrinkle.

"Everyone is very kind to me, um, um, Mr. Ukyo's cooking is delicious. Mi-kun? Mi-kun is a little bigger than the photo looks, after all, he is in middle school."

Lowering the eyelids, the slender and thick eyelashes cast a curved shadow on the pale face, and the light-colored lips gradually curved with the words.April said softly: "En? Is Rintaro's father by his side? I miss him too."

[April, mom misses you. ]

His eyebrows are curved, and his dark pupils are shining with happiness, "I also miss Meihe Mom."

[Promise mom, get along well with your brothers. ]

After a pause, she grabbed the bedsheets and replied with a smile, "I promise you, Meihe Mom."

After chatting casually for a few more words, she didn't press to hang up until she heard the beep.His left hand hung down weakly, and the phone slid down to the ground, making a muffled sound.

She has heard a little about Ema, so she understands the attitude of those brothers towards her.For foreign things, people will always reject and refuse to integrate.

But Ema has only been away for a year, why did Meihe's mother choose to let her come here at this time?

Pursing her lips, Si Yue shook her head to drive away the inexplicable thoughts, and clenched her fists to cheer herself up: "Come on!"

Pulling herself together, she picked up her phone and put it on the bedside, turned around, took her clothes and walked into the bathroom.

As long as it is Meihe's mother, she will do it.

Walking to the kitchen, April tied up her apron strings and got ready for breakfast.Since you want to have a good relationship, you have to start with your daily life.

When You Jing got up and walked to the dining room, a steaming breakfast was laid out on the table.He looked up, and saw a petite girl standing on the counter, doing something intently with her head down.

"April-san?"

The girl raised her face, the corners of her mouth curled into a beautiful arc, "Good morning, Mr. Youjing."

"...Good morning," You Jing replied blankly.Then he came back to his senses, approached and said, "Si Yuesang, why are you so early?"

After placing the last egg roll, the girl picked up the bento box, brought it to him, and asked, "Mr. Ukyo, will Ya-kun like this bento?"

Looking down, he looked carefully.The dishes are rich, evenly nutritious, and look quite delicious.He nodded and raised the corners of his lips, "Xiao Mi will like it."

A smile flashed across the man's eyes as deep as the deep sea, Siyue saw it, and took the lid to the box.

"Mr. Youjing, do you want to eat first? They don't seem to be up yet."

Seeing the pale side face of the girl hanging her head to clean things up, You Jing was slightly lost in thought until the other party looked up and cast puzzled eyes on him.

"Well... wait a minute, those who have to go to work are getting up soon." He pushed his eyes in a little embarrassment, and said lightly.

As if responding to his words, a lazy voice yawned and said, "Huha...so sleepy, good morning Brother Youjing, is the meal ready?"

The man walked over crookedly, You Jing immediately squinted at him, his lenses were cold.

"Tsubaki, pay attention to your image."

Rubbing his eyes, Tsubaki vaguely saw a petite figure, and suddenly woke up.With an obscure expression on his face, he walked to his seat and sat down, propped his chin and said, "Sister-chan is really early enough."

"Good morning, Mr. Chun." After finishing the tidying work, Si Yue walked out of the kitchen after wiping her hands, smiling lightly.

Chun looked at her in astonishment, turned her head and muttered to herself: "What a strange person." Faced with such a bad attitude, she was able to face him with a smile. Is this girl really stupid or is she pretending to be stupid?

The dining room was silent for a moment, You Jing cast a warning look at his younger brother, and beckoned the girl to sit down.

"This is really rare, Tsubaki, you got up so spontaneously?" The deep voice contained a smile, and accompanied by the voice, the person in the purple cassock was about to walk down the stairs slowly.When he caught a glimpse of the girl's clear eyebrows, he was slightly startled.

"Good morning, sir."

"Good morning, sister-chan."

They greeted each other, raised their eyebrows, and sat down beside the girl.Chun immediately cast a sarcastic look, and he smiled lazily.

Then the morning exercisers also walked in.Yusuke and Ang were both taken aback when they saw the girl, and then they greeted each other and sat in familiar seats. When they saw the dishes that were completely different from the Japanese breakfast, Yusuke asked in surprise: "Brother Youjing, what is it today?" Days?! Did you actually change the dishes?!"

"This is made by April Sang." He has never learned Chinese breakfast.

There was a sudden silence.

Ang raised his head and whispered, "...Thank you."

"You're welcome. Yusuke-kun, I've prepared your bento too, please remember to take it later."

"Ah... um, um, thank you, thank you!"

After Yusuke finished speaking hesitantly, he buried himself in his breakfast.

Si Yue blinked, looked around, and said with a sigh; "You guys are really awkward."

"puff……"

Suddenly, the sound of spraying rice sounded on the dining table.Yusuke, Ang and Tsubaki all looked at her in disbelief.

——Is this a rough nerve or a natural stupidity?

The one next to him has deep eyes.The girl's temperament has obviously changed. In the past few days, she always showed up near the meal time. After a quiet meal, she politely greeted her and went back to her room.

Does this mean that the girl wants to integrate into this family?

Thinking about this, I should say lazily: "Sister Jiang, these few have a second-degree disease~Three shaking m~"

A few eyes shot at him immediately.

"Good morning!" Mimi stepped into the dining room full of energy, followed by Yachen, whose hair was curled up.

"Good morning, Mi-jun, Mr. Yachen."

"...Good morning, sister Siyue." Mi replied hesitantly, and sat down quickly.

After answering with a smile, Ya Chen looked at his younger brothers and asked, "I have to be on duty in the afternoon, can anyone pick up Xiao Mi from school?"

"I have a job."

"Same as above~"

"I have club activities."

"Same as above."

What's left is to touch his chin, the itinerary flashed through his mind, and he spread his hands regretfully and said, "I'm sorry, Xiao Mi, I also have a job."

Biting the steamed stuffed bun, Mi pouted her mouth, her watery eyes filled with dissatisfaction, "What, I can go home by myself."

"No, it's not safe." The full-time babysitter Yachen immediately refused.

"I'll go."

The girl finished speaking softly.Swallowing the last mouthful of porridge, she stood up and walked to Yachen's side, took out the mobile phone from her pocket, and said, "Mr. Yachen, please mark it on the map for me."

"But April-san, this is your first time in Japan, right? You don't know the way yet..." And I haven't stepped out of the apartment at all these days...

"Please don't worry, I know the way pretty well." April interrupted with a smile, motioning for the other party to take over the phone.

"Since sister sauce has said that, big brother, let her go." He wanted to echo, and after thinking about it, he added, "Does sister sauce have our numbers in her mobile phone? If there is anything, you must call Give us."

You Jing got up and packed the tableware, looked at the girl next to the elder brother, and said aloud: "You are right, April-san, please don't force yourself, please contact us if you have anything to do."

Seeing that the matter was settled in this way, while the girl was fiddling with the phone with her head down, Yachen looked at his two younger brothers suspiciously, and signaled with his eyes: What's the matter with you?

The latter mouthed back: It's also good to let Si Yuesang relax, don't worry.It happened that someone was coming back in the afternoon.

After thinking about it for a while, Yachen, who probably knew who was going home, felt relieved, and explained the route to the girl with a smile on his side.

Siyue sent off the brothers who were about to go out, and turned around——

"... Mr. Tsubaki?"

Chun quietly stood behind him.Shaking her body violently, she put her hands on her chest to calm the beating heart.The other party looked at her with a strange expression, and only after a while did he say a word; "Bring the phone."

"?" Although puzzled, she followed suit.

Taking the phone, Tsubaki tapped the screen, clicked save and handed it to the person in front of him.Rubbing her hair, turning her head away from her clear black eyes, she muttered, "This is my number..."

Si Yue raised her head, the silver-haired young man's eyes drifted away but did not look at her, and a reddish part of the tip of the ear hidden under the hair appeared.With a clear mind, she frowned and smiled.

"Don't worry, Mr. Tsubaki, I will contact you if there is anything to do."

In fact, everyone doesn't hate her that much, does they?

After muttering a few more vague words, Tsubaki strode out of the gate with her head buried in her head.Originally, after saying that sentence last night, he already had some regrets. Seeing the girl's slender but straight back walking away step by step, he suddenly remembered:

This girl is only 16 years old, right?

What kind of thoughts did he have in mind to speak ill of this quiet and smiling girl?This girl had nothing to do with Ema at all, he knew it, but couldn't accept it.So he couldn't restrain the irritability in his heart and vented his anger on her, and afterwards he was very upset with himself.

Last night, Brother Youjing said coldly: "If you're a man, don't talk so thoughtlessly. She is innocent, and she shouldn't bear your yin and yang aura."

Gou Lip smiled in relief, stepped forward to open the car door, and Tsubaki bent down and sat in.Azusa, who was holding the steering wheel, asked, "How is it?"

"It's good to say."

In fact, people just subconsciously resist new things entering their lives when they are holding on to important things.Learn to think through the struggle, and then it's time to hold your head up and accept it with a smile.

This is not difficult, as long as people step forward bravely, they will know: this new thing is actually quite beautiful.

After tidying up the kitchen, April returned to the room.Finding her own board, she sat at the table, bowed her head and drew seriously.

She earns money by drawing illustrations, and releases her work on the magazine website, with contact information attached.In the beginning, only one or two came to her door. Gradually, others picked her and she picked others.

This process took her four years.

Putting down the strokes, Si Yue carefully looked at every detail.After a long time, she smiled and turned her gaze out of the window.

The sun was just right, and those distant memories seemed to be vivid in my mind.

"Zhizhong, your paintings are so beautiful! I want to learn too!"

"Okay, don't be lazy in April, I'm a strict teacher!"

While I miss you so much, do you think of that child who practiced painting day and night in order to get a compliment from you?
