[Brother Wars] Adopted Son

In Japan in April, the sea of ​​cherry blossoms is not cold but still has a trace of cold spring breeze, rolling the countless petals into the sky, dotting the blue curtain with brilliant pink like flying catkins and rain, making the air Also full of brilliant fragrance.

A petal swirled down, was blown by the wind, and floated into a large courtyard, where it merged with the pink petals all over the ground, making it impossible to distinguish.

The door of the apartment in the courtyard opened, and Asahina Ryuki walked out slowly wearing a blue jacket with plaid trousers and carrying a schoolbag.Facing the morning sun, the round badge of the first year of high school on the collar of the uniform reflected the golden brilliance.

Lucy looked up at the countless cherry blossom trees outside the yard, took a breath of fresh air, and walked forward.When they walked to the gate of the courtyard, a gentle voice came from behind: "Lu Sheng!"

Liu Sheng stopped, turned his head sideways, and was stunned: "Mom?"

The young and beautiful mother was standing under the tree in the middle of the courtyard, her long skirt was fluttering, and she waved at him gently, "I'm a high school student from today on, let's work hard!"

"En!" Lucy returned with a smile as gentle as water, "Definitely!"

At this moment, the wind picked up again, and the boy's beige, slightly curly, soft hair danced with the wind, his slender figure stood sideways against the wind, and countless pink petals lingered around him, engraving that breathtakingly beautiful smile into a beautiful picture painting.

Today was the day when Lucy entered high school. In order to impress the teacher, he got up early to prepare.He had mediocre grades in junior high school, but he worked hard in the final sprint stage of junior high school, and finally entered a private college with a grade that just crossed the passing line.This gave him a somewhat sense of accomplishment, and he felt that as long as he worked hard, he would have no regrets.

On the way to the station, the rain of cherry blossoms along the way put Lucy in a great mood, everything looked beautiful, even the two wild cats on the side of the road fighting for food and yelling at each other became interesting——

Wild Cat A: "Chu(她盘哉) this half sausage is mine, get the hell out of here."

Wild cat B: "╭(╯^╰)╮Is your name engraved on this sausage? No. Can you bite it to bleed? No way. Why do you say it's yours? If you have the ability, you can bite it and bleed ah!"

Wild cat A: "(#‵′) Didn't you engrave your name on it? I can't bite the blood, so can you still bite it?"

Wild Cat B: "╭(╯^╰)╮Look, I'll show you how to bite!"

clack clack-

Wild cat A: "I'm so fucking stupid, you fucking dare to trick me into eating it up! You want to die!"

Wildcat B ran away and shouted: "O(∩_∩)O is such an idiot!"

Liu Sheng watched the cats chasing and smiled, lowered his head and took out a plastic food box from his school bag, dumped the fried fish, shrimp balls and rice on the side of the road, and greeted the two little things who were fighting hard , "Hey, Xiao Hua, Xiao Hei, if you continue to fight, I will take the food away."

The fighting wild cats stopped abruptly, and Qiqi looked at the beautiful boy who was squatting not far away. His fierce eyes were instantly watery and shining like stars, "Lord Lucy!"

Liu Sheng smiled, "Come here, I promise you fried fish and shrimp balls!"

"Long live Master Lusheng!" The cats ran over with joy, buried their heads in eating, and praised "it's delicious" while eating.

Liu Sheng touched the heads of the two cats, "You have to finish eating, remember not to leave any residue, or I will be arrested and educated by the sanitation uncle. Eat slowly, I have to go to school."

Saying goodbye to the cat, Ryukyu quickened his pace and boarded the tram to school.

As you can see, Ryukyu Asahina can understand small animals.This ability, which is different from ordinary people, makes it easy for him to establish a harmonious relationship with small animals. Almost all the kittens, puppies, and birds near his house know him. Therefore, the small animals that ask him for food every day There are countless.These two little wild cats were just what he had met not long ago. The wild cats seemed to be more outgoing than the domestic cats. At that time, Liu Sheng just listened to their quarrel and inadvertently tried to persuade him, but they followed him to the death and called him "Master".

The 16-year-old Lucy was fascinated by the title of "adult" for a long time.

Today is the first day of school. According to school regulations, parents of students must attend the opening ceremony, participate in parent seminars, and register with the PTA (ParentsTeachersAssociation) organization in their children's classes.

Liu Sheng recalled beautifully, he had already greeted his mother in advance last night, she also got up early today, and personally sent him out, presumably she will attend the ceremony later.

Finding the class he was in, Ryukyu was pleasantly surprised to find that his two classmates Junhe Harada and Toshihiko Yamamoto were among them.

"I didn't expect that we could still be together in high school, Asahina-kun, this is really great!" Harada Junhe has a sweet appearance, a figure of less than 1.6 meters, small and cute, and his grades were very good in junior high school. As a friend, he was in the third grade She helped Lucy a lot during the sprint stage, and she is a warm-hearted and quiet girl.

"In this way, we can continue to study hairdressing together!" Toshihiko Yamamoto is a typical naughty kid who is between a good baby and a punk. , good grades in sports, and often do some things in class that make the teacher a headache but are not hateful.Usually such children are not hopeless in the eyes of the teacher, so they will still become the object of the teacher's "pull".

"Yeah!" Speaking of hairdressing, Lucy smiled very happily, "Maybe you can apply to set up a hairdressing department!"

Hairdressing is the common hobby of the three of them, so they got together with different personalities.Liusheng's wish is to be an excellent hairdresser. He has an innate love for hair, and he enjoys the feeling of running his fingers through them, and he is eager to tame them and make them submit to his fingers. He made it.

Looking at his slender and white fingers, Lucy smiled longingly.

Suddenly, there was commotion at the door of the classroom, and Liu Sheng turned around. It was the teacher leading the parents in.Liu Sheng was startled, and searched for his mother in the crowd, but unfortunately, he looked at it several times, but he still didn't see her.

The parents sat down next to their children, and the teacher began to roll their names. Lucy was a little anxious.From elementary school to junior high school, mothers have always come to participate in the parent seminars organized by PTA, but this year seems to be a bit wrong.Seeing that the parents of other students arrived one after another, he was the only one left in the end.

"Asahina Ryuu, your parents haven't come yet, what's going on?"

Facing the teacher's question, Lucy didn't know how to answer it.Looking at the other students, they all stared at him with curiosity or disdain, while the two friends cast worried glances at him.

Liu Sheng sighed silently, it seems that mother may be busy with work and forgot about today's parent meeting.

The mood was suddenly low, obviously I reminded my mother specially last night.

"Sorry to interrupt you!" A gentle baritone voice suddenly came from the door of the classroom, attracting the attention of everyone in the classroom, "I am Asahina Ryukyu's brother, Asahina Masami, may I be late?"

Lucy turned around in astonishment.

The man at the door of the classroom was wearing only a shirt and a mid-length cashmere jacket, with two pink petals stained on his short brown curly hair, holding the door frame of the classroom with one hand and panting continuously, his nose was dotted with fine beads of sweat. You don't need to guess how hard he ran all the way.

The teacher didn't blame Nayakami Asahina for being late, and even invited him into the classroom with a more cordial attitude than others.It is no wonder that most of the parents who came to the opening ceremony were mothers, and the only few fathers were also moderate and fat. The young and handsome one like Yachen was a young and unmarried female teacher. Will look at him differently.

Yachen thanked him, his tall and slender body passed through the rows of desks, came to Liu Sheng, and sat down in the chair that had been prepared beside him.

"I'm sorry Lucy, my mother was notified by the company to go back to Canada, so I will attend all your parent-teacher meetings from now on." In order not to disturb the order of the lecture, Yachen lowered his voice and stayed close to Lucy.After a second pause, he slowed down, "I hope you don't blame mom."

At this moment, Lucy was at a loss.

Including Ryukyu, Asahina's family has 13 children, all boys.Nayakami Asahi is the eldest son of the family. He is 26 years old this year. He has a gentle personality and is kind to others. He is a well-known pediatrician.And Liu Sheng is ranked eighth, and there are five younger brothers under him.

Compared with his mother not coming to the parents' discussion, Liu Sheng was more concerned about how to deal with this brother who was ten years older than him.No, to be more precise... Except for his mother, none of the other 12 brothers made him feel that he could rely on him wholeheartedly.He couldn't get close to them naturally, it felt like a wide river was separated, he was on this side, they were on the other side, and he didn't know how to cross this river.

During the entire parent lecture, Lucy remained silent and did not communicate with Yachen in any way. At the end, Yachen hurried back to work in the hospital, and the two only said goodbye to each other.

Toshihiko Yamamoto asked Lucu strangely: "Is that person your brother? Why do you feel that you don't look like him, and the atmosphere between you is so weird, I didn't see you talking."

Lucy smiled faintly, he was not the biological child of the Asahina family, he was just adopted by his mother Miwa when he was two years old, of course he did not look like the brothers of the Asahina family.

That's the end of the first day of school.

Sunrise Residence is the apartment where Ryukyu currently lives, and it was specially built by his mother Miwa for his brothers.This building has five floors, the third and fourth floors are the rooms of the thirteen brothers, and the fifth floor is the living room, dining room and public toilets.

When Liu Sheng returned home, the brothers had already finished their dinner.

"Ah, Liusheng, why did you come home?" Yachen was holding a pink boy about four or five years old in his arms, and was about to go upstairs, but when he reached the stairs, he saw Liusheng coming down.

Liu Sheng blinked his sleepy eyes, "Accidentally fell asleep on the tram, and ended up taking one stop."

The child in Yachen's arms who looked sixty percent similar to him giggled, "As expected of Xiao Liusheng, he can fall asleep on the tram!"

Lucy smiled sheepishly.

This child is Nami Asahi, the youngest of the thirteen brothers. He is five years old this year and is still in kindergarten. He is the baby of the brothers in the family. The eldest son Masato is 21 years older than him. Incredible.

Yachen touched Xiao Mi's face and said with a smile: "I'll take Xiao Mi to take a bath first, and I'll talk to you about today's parent meeting later."

Liu Sheng kept watching the brothers who looked like father and son go upstairs, but he couldn't see him anymore when he turned the corner.Looking back, I saw the twins Asahina Tsubaki and Asahina Azusa watching a CD together.

"Lusheng, come and see, the anime character I'm leading has released a song album."

The fifth son of Asahina's family, Tsubaki, is 20 years old, with silver-white hair and a mole under his left eye.Because of his longing for his favorite robot animation, he entered a voice actor company for training after graduating from high school, and now he is an excellent voice actor in the company.Very free and easy in character

"As a souvenir, I want to collect this disc."

Azusa Asahi, six men, and Tsubaki are identical twins, 20 years old, currently college students.Although she has the same face as Tsubaki, she has black hair, black-rimmed glasses, and a mole under her right eye.He is a calm person who often stops Tsubaki's extraordinary mischief at home, and is Tsubaki's brake.

Lucy congratulated Tsubaki.

"Azusa, you must stay with me when you graduate from college."

"Well, that's what I planned too."

The twins leave the living room holding hands.

Lucy stared at their backs in a daze.

Things like blood relationship and inheritance are really amazing and subtle. The appearance, behavior, words and deeds, aura, and even living habits and behavior styles of brothers are born with an invisible force that maintains them.And because of this bond, their tacit understanding in the process of getting along the day after tomorrow makes others envious.

Ya Chen's love for Xiao Mi, Chun and Zi's inseparable relationship, these are all things that his adopted son doesn't have.He has no blood relationship with these brothers. Whenever he looks at them, he feels as if he is standing on the far shore, separated by an insurmountable distance.He envied the invisible bond between them, longed for their casual and natural brotherhood, but he still couldn't get close.

"Lusheng, why are you coming back now?"

A gentle and clear male voice came from behind, Liu Sheng turned his head and blinked in astonishment, "Brother You Jing!"

Asahina Ukyo, the second son of the family, is 24 years old this year and is currently a lawyer who has just stepped into the society and is still in the internship stage.The elder brother is blond, wears a pair of thin-rimmed glasses, and is 182cm tall. Due to his professional relationship, he often wears a three-piece suit at home. He has a strong British style, a rigorous appearance, and an elite temperament.

However, today he actually appeared in the kitchen!

Oh, by the way, my mother is going abroad today, and no one at home cooks, so I said, "Today, is Brother Youjing the cook?"

"Ah, I forgot to tell you that my mother may settle in Canada, and I will take care of all the trivial matters at home from now on." You Jing said calmly, not at all troubled by the sudden increase in burden, it was very natural, as if I have long been used to it.He turned to look at the wall clock in the living room, "Have you had dinner yet?"

"Well, I ate a little bread."

Liu Sheng was stunned, he cared more about the fact that his mother settled abroad than his elite elder brother who was going to be a housekeeper from today.He is used to being taken care of by his mother and cared for by his mother. Perhaps because he is an adopted son, his mother is afraid that he will have a psychological burden, so she always subconsciously cares about him more.But starting today, she no longer stays in this house, will the remaining brothers treat him as usual?Or, is there anyone who loves him as much as his mother?

Liu Sheng was in a daze, immersed in his own world, You Jing stared at him for a few seconds, pushed up the mirror frame, and said in a warm voice: "You are now in puberty, when you grow up, don't just buy those unnutritious things outside. Eat." Smiling, turned back to the kitchen, "Go over there and wait, I'll make you something fresh."

Lucy walked to the dining table in a daze.

Ukyo quickly made a vegetable salad, miso soup, and curry beef rice, and when he brought it to Ryukyu, he smiled and patted his head, "Ryukyu is already a 16-year-old boy, so he must know how to communicate with his family. If you come back, you must contact me, otherwise I will worry about you."

"Sorry!" Liu Sheng hesitated for a few seconds, looked at You Jing cautiously, and asked, "Brother Jing, mother, has she really settled abroad? Will she not come back in the future?"

You Jing pulled out a chair and sat down opposite him, "Why do you think so? Mom just settled abroad because of work needs, we are his sons, we are still here, how could she not come back." Smiled, " There are still many procedures in progress, and the company is also very busy, so it is too late to say goodbye to us, don't blame her."

Liu Sheng heaved a sigh of relief, how could he blame his mother, but the sense of insecurity and helplessness that was missing in his heart still persisted,

Taking a bath after dinner, Lucy lay limp on the bed.

Mom left, Brother Yachen attended his school opening ceremony instead of her, Brother Youjing played her role at home, worried about his life and study...

So anxious, so helpless, I don't know how to spend my mother's absence, and I don't know how to face those twelve brothers who have no blood relationship with him.
