Lark's

After washing the dishes and returning to the ward, I happened to see him flipping through the photo album.With one hand resting on his chin, he casually flipped through the photo albums spread out on his lap with the other. The corners of his eyes were more upturned than usual, and he must be in a good mood.I walked over, sat down on the hospital bed again, picked up one of his T-shirts and coats, and found the needle and thread I brought yesterday in the drawer of the bedside table.

"Since the birth of Yunque and Ms. Hui, I have been responsible for taking care of her daily life." I smiled and said, "I left a lot of photos, all of which I like very much."

Hibari Kyouya didn't speak, just lowered his head and continued to look at the photo.

These can be regarded as treasures.When Skylark and Miss Hui were young, I also showed her a picture of his father.Since then, Yunque and Miss Hui have never let go of any chance to enter my room, hoping to find her own photo in my place.Similar things were done by her father.Unfortunately, none of them succeeded.

I couldn't help smiling, and quickly sewed a small loop on the shoulder line of Hibari Kyouya's T-shirt.He noticed that what I was holding was his clothes, finally raised his head to look at me, and frowned: "What are you doing?"

"The temperature changes a lot, so it's better to carry a coat with you." I also sewed a loop on the other shoulder line, "but it's not convenient to hold it in your hands, and it may be too hot to wear on your body." After sewing , I folded the T-shirt casually and put it aside, then picked up his coat, and sewed a small hook on the inside shoulder line, "So I thought, it should be better to wear it. This is a small treatment, and the draped It’s not easy to fall off.”

He looked at me for a long time, making sure that I didn't do anything else, and then he looked away.

Two days later, he made a full recovery and returned home from the hospital.I simply tidied up the house and went out to buy vegetables as usual.When I came back, I walked through the corridor, and I happened to see him sitting in front of the chessboard and thinking.I returned to my room during my afternoon nap and found, as expected, that the cabinet had been tampered with.

Hibari Kyouya didn't put things back to their original state, but like Hibari and Miss Hui back then, she didn't seem worried at all that I found out that they had tried to find those photos.

Bending down to pick up the messed up things, I pressed my chest and couldn't help laughing.

Fortunately, like Skylark and Miss Hui, he didn't find any photos of his bedwetting period.

Although... I personally prefer the one where he blows bubbles at the camera the day after he was born.

9. Seven...

When the cold current really goes south, it is already winter in Japan.

As the New Year is approaching, I also began to think about adding some new things to the house so that the New Year would not be too deserted.

Hibari Kyouya became fond of going out for a walk in the evening, so I took advantage of this time to remove the sofa in the living room and replaced it with a kotatsu table.After placing the pre-purchased vases and hanging pictures in appropriate positions, the decoration of the whole living room looks completely traditional.

He was a little surprised by the change when he got home, but didn't show displeasure.I told him that Hibari and Ms. Hui did not plan to come to Japan this year, and his reaction was very calm.

It can be seen that for him, parents are the same as the New Year, whether they exist or not does not matter.

Before cooling down significantly, I moved the goldfish in the yard to a tank with heater rods and moved them to the front room.Having lived on my own for a few years after retirement, I'm less sensitive to New Years in the West, so I don't prepare much for Christmas.But when it was late at night, I felt that the air was getting cooler, and there were rustling noises outside. When I opened the door, I found that it was snowing.

When I moved to Zurich with Mr. Arnold, there was heavy snow every year.Later, most people lived in southern countries, and snow became rare.I put on a sweater, went to the kitchen to make a pot of steaming barley tea, went to the living room, sat down in the dark, and wanted to see the snow scene in the yard.

It suddenly occurred to me that the year Mrs. Shira was pregnant with her second child, Sicily had an abnormal hailstorm due to the extremely cold weather.Mr. Arnold did not rush home that Christmas because of business.After putting Miss Aurora to bed at night, I was alone on the first floor to clean up the sundries left after the party, but I didn’t expect to bump into Mrs. Shila who was going downstairs to look for dessert.

In a hurry, I took out the cake for her, helped her to a warm soft chair, and found a blanket for her, worrying that she would catch a cold.Mrs. Shira seemed to be amused by my flustered reaction, and she narrowed her emerald eyes with a sly smile: "Olly, don't panic. I'm a German, and I've been rolling in the snow since I was a child."

I really wanted to contradict her at the time, because I heard that she grew up in Sicily.Then Mrs. Sheila began to sigh, and I thought she might have thought of something sad. "You know, Ollie," she told me, "I didn't really want my baby that much in the first place. Arnold said that when the baby grows up, I can get back to my career. Now Aurora is already three years old, I thought I would finally see a little hope, but the arrival of these two little guys has thrown my hope far away." She shook her head, as if very annoyed, "Honestly, I Never thought I'd give up my career for the sake of my family. Life is too long if you lose your freedom. It's boring and boring."

I had to remind her: "But you did it anyway."

"Oh, yes." Madam Sheila was calmer than I expected. She shrugged and winked at me with a weird smile, "Maybe it's because... Arnold and these children are more important to me than I imagined." Which is more important."

After that, when I discovered that I had an immortal body, I was immersed in confusion and faint fear for a long time.I know that my life will be very long even if I do not lose my freedom.Not only was it tedious, but it also made me miserable from losing people I held dear over and over again.

But it's not like I don't have a chance to escape.Talbo came to see me when he decided to move to Australia. "Would you like to come with me?" He was looking into my eyes like he was trying to see my soul through them. "It's over, Ollie. We can go to Australia and have a new life of our own." .”

I turned him down.I intend to live permanently in Switzerland with Mr. Arnold and Mrs. Shira.

He sighed, and didn't force any more: "Well, then you have to give me at least one reason."

"I don't know, Talbo," I told him then, "maybe this is my life."

Probably as Mrs. Sheila said, there is something more important than my pain that motivates me to do this.Presumably Hibari and Ms. Hui also saw this, so they were convinced that as long as she asked, I would come to Japan to take care of Hibari Kyoya.

Footsteps sounded in the corridor.

I looked up, and sure enough, I saw the figure of Hibari Kyouya.

Mostly woken up by the sound of snow falling.I turned on the stove under the stove table, got up to find him a teacup as he entered the living room, and poured him a mug of barley tea.He was very angry when he got up, and after sitting down at the stove table, he rested his chin on one hand and frowned, looking towards the backyard outside the long corridor.

I put the teacup in front of him, and turned my head to follow his gaze.The cold snap didn't come in a hurry, fine snowflakes swirled and fell, and soon painted the courtyard with a layer of white with uneven thickness, but there was no intention of stopping.We sat in silence for a long time, and when the tea got cold, I got up and went to the kitchen to change a pot of hot tea.

Already accustomed to a regular schedule, Hibari Kyouya still didn't seem quite used to being woken up in the middle of the night.I watched the snow scene for a while, and when I turned my head to look at him again, he was already taking a nap with his eyes closed.

Still a child after all.

I smiled and looked up at the wall clock, it was past midnight.

Unexpectedly, this year's New Year, there will be someone who will start with me.

After waiting quietly for several hours, the snow finally stopped at three o'clock in the morning.I took the tray and sent the tea set back to the kitchen, and when I returned to the living room, I saw that he had already returned to his room.Maybe he noticed that the snow had stopped, so he went back to sleep.I tidied up the stove table briefly, turned off the stove, and returned to my room.

By the time of the Japanese New Year's Day, it had been snowing for three consecutive days.On a slightly sunny morning, the neighbor's children ran out of their homes to play in the snow.When I went out early in the morning, I was hit by their snowball on the corner of my clothes.

The children of the Fujita family jumped up and down in the yard, calling for Mr. Fujita to hammer rice cakes.I didn't buy rice cakes in the supermarket, and I received fresh rice cakes from Fujita Yu happily at noon.Hibari Kyoya lacked interest in Osechi cuisine, so what he ate more was the rice cakes sent by Fujita's family.

He didn't seem to plan to go to the New Year's Temple Fair. After dinner, he sat on the side of the warm road and changed channels with the remote control for a long time, but he still couldn't find a satisfactory program.I brought the freshly baked biscuits to him, and he just picked them up and tasted them after glancing at them. His attention was always on the TV, as if he was competing with those boring New Year's programs.

In the end he could only watch the news.

While drinking tea and listening to the report, I happened to hear that the live broadcast of the New Year’s Temple Fair had been transferred to Bingsheng Shrine.The New Year in this small town is also lively. There are many people participating in the temple fair, especially children, who can be seen everywhere.

I put down my teacup and looked at Hibari Kyouya: "Are you going to the temple fair?"

"No." He turned off the TV expressionlessly, stood up as if preparing to go back to the room.Maybe because he felt that I was looking at him all the time, before he turned around, he still turned sideways and explained his unsocial behavior with a straight face: "Weak herbivores only gather together."

Then whether I recognize it or not
