Lark's

lost way.In connection with Kyouya Hibari's attitude ten years later, it must be within his plan.

What exactly is he planning?

"Then Mr. Caobi is responsible for Mr. Gong's three meals these days."

"That's right, I have prepared different dishes according to the chairman's preferences." Speaking of this, Tetsuya Kusakabe's tone became a little depressed, "But...the chairman is not very satisfied."

As expected, "Culinary skills still need more work."

"Ah, I will definitely work hard." He glanced at the bouquet of carnations in my arms, and finally couldn't help but say: "By the way... what is this bouquet of flowers?"

"A gift from an Italian friend." Although the identity of the other party is unclear, if it's just a bouquet of flowers, you can still accept it. "Probably a birthday present."

Kusakabe's casual expression immediately turned into panic: "Eh? Is Ms. Ito's birthday today?!"

"If I remember correctly, it should be." I smiled, "After all, I haven't celebrated my birthday for more than 30 years."

He choked, probably because he was frightened by my words "more than 30 years", so he stopped talking.

After returning to the Skylark House, I put the flowers into a glass bottle filled with water. I originally wanted to take a nap, but unexpectedly felt refreshed. I closed my eyes for a long time without feeling sleepy.So I got up and walked around the house, and stood in the corridor to look at the backyard. I rarely felt a lot of extra energy in my body, urging me to move more.

It seems that since waking up in the hospital, the body has undergone subtle changes.

It feels like...it seems to be alive again.

I had to take this opportunity to do a general cleaning.The kimono is not very convenient, so I changed into hot pants and a shirt, and combed my hair into a ponytail that looked more energetic, and I rolled up my sleeves and started working.After cleaning the house, I saw that the sun was shining outside, so I put all the sheets to be washed into the tub and took them to the backyard for washing.

After all, it’s still late spring, and it’s somewhat cool to step into cold water with bare feet, but when you’re really active, you don’t need to worry about catching a cold.When I was young, I used to wash clothes like this in summer, and I always enjoyed it very much. However, since the advent of electrical appliances, people have gradually become lazy.

Probably due to the influence of my physical condition, I was in a good mood, and I found a lot of freshness when stepping on the water, and I almost overdid it.

Fortunately, I still remember the time, and when it is almost time to prepare snacks, I stop, hang the sheets and go to the kitchen to make snacks.It's just that he didn't expect that before he had time to change his clothes, he heard Hibari Kyoya come back.

I was still a little wet, so I could only put on my apron and take the freshly baked cookies out of the oven.He came back two hours earlier than usual, but he still came to the kitchen first as usual.Maybe because I haven't seen him for a few days, I'm a little nervous.After putting the cookies on the plate one by one, I took off my cotton gloves and turned to smile at him: "Mr. Gong."

It turned out that he just happened to throw the carnations I put in the glass bottle into the trash can.

"Yeah." He didn't care about being seen by me, he responded lukewarmly, turned around to the dining table, and walked out of the kitchen without changing his expression.

So calm and unhurried, it made me stunned for a while.

I found him in the corridor with the cookie in hand, just in time to see him holding his head in one hand, playing with Yundou.After being frightened last time, the little guy liked to cling to him more than before, squinting his eyes and rubbing his fingers, until he saw Cookie, he opened his eyes wide and fluttered his wings a few times.Hibari Kyouya snorted softly, but didn't get angry, took out a cookie from the plate I put down, crushed it and fed it.

After being missing for a few days, he didn't seem to have changed much.I sat next to him, thought for a moment, and apologized first, "I'm sorry, I've been sick for a few days, and I've caused you trouble."

"Hmph. Isn't your brain burned out?" He scratched Yundou's head with his index finger, without looking at me, but his tone didn't sound like he was angry.The little guy was anxiously pecking at the biscuit crumbs, but he didn't have time to look up his furry head, after all, food comes first.Seeing this, Hibari Kyouya flicked it gently with his index finger, and saw that its chubby body was almost toppled, and then said again: "It seems that it has degenerated to the point where it has no common sense. huh, you."

His eyes were still on Yundou, but the words were addressed to me.It's just that there is no real irony and reproach, probably thinking of what I promised him.

Finally glanced at me, he withdrew his hand from teasing Yundou, took out something from his pocket and threw it to me, then looked at Yundou again, "That kind of stupid worry is unnecessary. Don't let me see the second Second-rate."

I caught the thing he threw and froze for a second when I opened my palm and saw it clearly.

It's a cross pendant.Except for the style of the thin silver chain, it was exactly like the cross pendant I had lost.

That pendant... After I left the orphanage with Mr. Arnold, the children raised enough money to buy it and entrusted the priest to give it to me.I wore it close to my body until I lost it in a shipwreck 50 years ago.The only good thing is that I took a special photo before, so I have been used to putting the photo under my pillow for comfort over the years.

I don't know when he noticed it.Things that I thought would never come back seemed to appear in front of me suddenly.

I looked up to see him, but my vision was blurry.I slowly realized that I actually had the urge to cry.

What a gaffe.

"It would have been nice if I hadn't agreed to Hibari and Miss Hui." Before Hibari Kyouya noticed it, I lowered my head slightly, and I spoke softly, and the forced smile couldn't help but feel a little helpless, "At least it won't be like this now, I think To get more things you shouldn't even think about."

He paused for a moment and remained silent for two seconds. He seemed to turn his face to look at me, "Why, so you think so?"

Before I had time to say anything, I was enveloped by his sudden approach.

My chin hurt a little from being pinched, but what really made my mind go blank was the temperature on my lips.Obviously the other party is a child who has lived with me for so many years, but I couldn't move when surrounded by a familiar atmosphere.

However, after a long time, his voice sounded from close at hand, his tone was as calm as ever, even with a sleepy nasal voice: "The biscuit is too sweet. You have tried it and dare to take it out, you are not small." Then Before I could react, I stood up and pressed my head, "Go and cook. I'm hungry."

30. Pick up...

I made dinner but couldn't remember how much I ate.

After that, everything was as usual, until I lay on the bed at night and stared at the ceiling for a long time, and I really recovered from the kiss in the afternoon.Lying on my side, I picked up the cross pendant next to the pillow, and finally sighed.

This can be regarded as the first kiss in a real sense after living for more than 100 years.

When I didn't know that I had an immortal body, I once had a heart for Tal.Among the first generation of Pengelie family, he was the only one who was close to my age and cared for me a lot.No matter how dull I am, I can still feel the feeling of special treatment.As time passed, she couldn't resist that kind of gentleness, and couldn't help blushing and heartbeat whenever she was alone with him, even if he was standing in the crowd, she could spot him at the first sight.

About 110 years ago, on the night of my birthday, Mrs. Sheila granted me a leave of absence and gave me the opportunity to walk around town with Talbo.When he sent me back to Mr. Arnold's house that day, he planned to kiss me, but I avoided it.Looking back now, that was the worst faux pas I've ever done.But at that moment I did feel panic.

It seems to be worrying about gains and losses, but also like a strong premonition.

The only good thing is that Talbo didn't mind.He was just taken aback for a moment, then smiled and rubbed my hair: "Don't be nervous, Ollie." Then he bowed his head and kissed my forehead, "Good night."

I couldn't sleep that night, so I sat at the small kitchen table in a daze.It happened that Mrs. Shira got up to drink water at night, and seeing that I was depressed, she sat down and chatted with me for a long time.I told her what happened that night, and she smiled as weirdly as ever: "Oli, as an Italian, you are really too conservative."

I can't find a reason to refute her assessment.To be honest, since I met Mrs. Shira, my impression of the strictness of the Germans has been completely reformed.Not only does she have a surprising style of behavior, but she is also very open in terms of sex.This caused me to take a deep breath every time I walked into the bedroom of Mr. Arnold and Mrs. Shira to clean, and looked at the nose, nose, and heart, so that I could turn a blind eye to all the traces and gadgets in the house.

"But don't worry, you're still young, Ollie." Probably amused by my silence, Mrs. Shira narrowed her eyes and seemed quite happy, "It's not good to get married and have children too early, just look at me and you'll know. "

"But you are ten years older than me." I couldn't help muttering at that time, "You are already thirty-one years old, ma'am."

"Actually, I'm almost 60 years old." Instead of getting angry, she smiled more cheerfully, shrugged, and there was a sly light in her emerald eyes. "Just kidding. But you know, mentality is more important than anything else." It's important. You are really old only when your heart is old." After she finished speaking, she pinched my face again, "Don't worry, you are just too young."

"What if it's not because of my youth?" At that time, I didn't know where the courage came from. Instead of being silent as usual, I looked into her eyes and continued to ask, "I mean... if it's because I'm too timid
