…”
Kotoko Aihara gave a soft "hmm".
Irie Naoki continued, "Do you care? These? After I came out, I realized how delicate I was at home. Not only did I deal with all kinds of trivial matters in life, but also the interactions between people were very complicated. Your previous concerns were not without It makes sense...In my previous life, these troubles were all handled by my parents. Even if I have a relationship partner, do I have to let them worry about my future wife? What's more..."
He glanced at her, "You are much more independent and mature than me...Although I don't want to admit it, you also live together in the same way."
Aihara Kotoko touched his palm, "You are still young..."
"Are you very old?" Naoki Irie clenched her hand punitively, fearing that it would hurt her, and quickly let go, "Besides, today's matter is also a trouble to you. It is true that I have always been responsible for my family. Rarely, aside from Hiroki, my parents’ expectations of me have never been unclear. I didn’t discuss with them when I decided to become a doctor. Necessary..."
"It's okay, growth also needs a process..."
"Well, yes. And because it's a family member, I should take care of it... Now, I decided to take the entrance examination for business courses next semester, try to take care of it at the same time, and study a double degree in medicine and business. In this way, When necessary, I should be able to help my father lighten some of the burden, although he has never made too many demands on me...in the future we..."
Aihara Kotoko didn't say anything this time, in the silence of the night, there was only the sound of her light breathing.He took another look. It turned out that at some point, she had fallen asleep.
The usually bright eyes were covered, and Naoki Irie approached, kissed her lips lightly, covered her with the quilt, and then chuckled, "Really, at such an important time..."
After covering the quilt, I gradually fell asleep.
Hey, stealing kisses is a good habit, please give me a thumbs up for the plot x
45、Chapter42
Keep up the good work, boy!
When Naoki Irie woke up, it was already dawn.He turned his head, and the person next to the pillow was no longer there, only the slightly folded pillow cover and quilt, revealing the fact that someone had slept here.
He sat up, lifted the quilt and stood up, looked around the room for a week, the indoor space was only so big, and there was no trace of anyone else except him.
However, there are still some... that are different from usual...
His cat alarm clock usually meows early every morning to wake up his little Wangwang who is fed cat food, but he nestles obediently on the sofa, and there is still a little unfinished food left in his food bowl.
On the long log table, there is a pot of hot coffee and a porcelain plate with two freshly made sandwiches, covered by a large transparent cover.
Irie Naoki walked over, and under the coffee cup, there was a message note, "I'm going to the hospital to see Hiroki first, breakfast is on the table, remember, coffee can only be drunk after eating! Above, Aihara Kotoko"
He was slightly lost in thought, and after a while, he put down the things in his hands and walked into the bathroom...
At the same time, Irie's parents finally rushed back to Tokyo.When I got home, I didn't see Kotoko. Aihara Noriko quickly called her and learned that she was in the hospital with Yuki. She put down her luggage and took some things that Yuki should use in the hospital. Husband Irie's father rushed over.
Here, Irie Naoki entered the ward, and as soon as the door opened, what caught the eye was Aihara Kotoko lying on the side of Yuki's bed and sleeping, with the hair curling up slightly by the ear, which was rare to be childish.
But Yu Shu had already woken up, heard the door knock and looked over, seeing that it was his elder brother, his eyes were full of admiration.
Irie Naoki smiled slightly at his younger brother, approached him, leaned forward and touched his forehead comfortingly, then raised his index finger and put it on his lips, making a gesture of silence, and then walked to Aihara Kotoko, He gently picked her up and walked to the couch beside him.
And very unfortunately, at this moment... as the door of the ward was opened again, it was Noriko Irie who walked in with Shigeki Irie.
As soon as the mother raised her eyes, her elder brother was hugging Aihara Kotoko, a princess, looking at her softly, before she could put it down, she exclaimed excitedly in a small "ah".
Aihara Kotoko was already a little awake when her body was moved, but her consciousness was still confused. Hearing this sound, she completely recovered her sanity, and when she opened her eyes, it was Naoki Irie, with a beautiful and smooth chin.
Aihara Kotoko immediately lowered her head, looked at her current state again, and followed the fiery gaze, and met the excited eyes of Aunt Irie Noriko, she suddenly... wanted to close her eyes again On, all as if he was still asleep.
Seeing that she was awake, Irie Naoki put her down.
Irie Noriko walked to Yushu's hospital bed, saw that he was recovering well, and finally felt relieved, and as she finally breathed a sigh of relief about her youngest son's health problems, the excitement about the scene just now resurfaced in her heart In her eyes, she looked at her eldest son.
When Naoki Irie met her eyes, he sighed in his heart, but his face was calm, and he said to his mother, "Mom, can you come out for a while, I have something to tell you."
Irie Noriko nodded, blinked at Aihara Kotoko, and briskly followed him to the door.
The two sat on the bench in the public area outside, Naoki Irie pondered for a moment, and finally said to his mother, "Mom, just now, it was indeed what you thought."
"Ah?! I knew it! Qinzi is the most suitable for my brother! Has my brother finally realized this now?" Noriko Irie's eyes lit up, and the excitement filled the entire public area.
Irie Naoki frowned slightly, and continued, "However, I hope that my mother will let me handle everything by myself. If we are together, I only hope that it is because she agrees with me and sees my sincerity, not because of your mother."
It was rare for Noriko Irie to see such a serious look on his face, slowly put away the excitement on his face, looked at his eldest son who was already a head taller than him, suddenly smiled, and said slyly, "Hey... okay , then I don’t care about it this time, I’ll wait for you to abduct my daughter-in-law home...I also want to watch you get married as soon as possible and give me a little grandson~”
How on earth can we go astray to get there!I really dare to think...
Irie Naoki sighed in his heart, but fortunately, no matter what, his mother will not pursue this matter any more, that's good...
Hey, he doesn't want to see the half of that guy's head that rarely emerges from the shell, shrinking back again...
......
Winter goes to spring, seasons come and go, and soon, the new year arrives.
After the short spring break, with half a semester of hard work, the summer vacation, with a gratifying length, brought a big gift to the students who had studied hard for half a semester.
Regarding how to spend this summer vacation, Irie Naoki's answer can only be "part-time job".
After moving out, everything is on my own.Although it was hard work, he felt that his whole body was enriched a lot.And the existence of little Amiao Wangwang also made him understand the word "responsibility"...Although his original intention of raising it was inseparable from someone...
His summer job is to help out at the resort in Sudou-senpai's hometown.So regarding the ownership of his cat family members in recent months, the first thing he thought of was to send them to Kotoko Aihara.
Sure enough, when he found her, he just mentioned it, and the girl quickly agreed without even asking why.
In fact, Aihara Kotoko just thought about going home to live during the summer vacation. Her father is too busy to be at home often, and she is worried that she will be bored when the time comes...
So, the two sides reached an agreement in a happy and peaceful atmosphere, and decided happily... no wonder.
On the day Kotoko Aihara went to pick up the kitten, she suddenly received an order from Noriko Irie to ask her to help pick up Hiroki Irie from the karate interest class to meet her, and then the three of them went to a newly discovered Chinese restaurant Cantonese restaurant for dinner.
Looking at the kitten box in her hand, and looking at the time on the watch, she was afraid that Yushu would go home by herself first and miss out with the big team, so she had to pick up Yushu first and let him go home with her to pick up the kitten. Put it down, and go to join Noriko Irie.
Hiroki was surprised when he saw the kitten in her hand, and when he learned that the kitten was still his brother's new family member, he looked at Aihara Kotoko's expression and became... quite complicated.
And within a few days...
Aihara Kotoko received a call from Aunt Irie Noriko again, expressing the hope that she could help take Yuki to a resort in the countryside to relax. She has already booked the room and itinerary, because Irie's father is busy with work and has no time, so she has to stay If you stay with him, you won't go with them.
As for kittens?She said that she would take good care of it, so that Qinzi didn't have to worry at all.
I'm not worried!I haven’t lived enough with the little kitty (?!) in the world, hey~!Kotoko Aihara is lonely......
However, she still agreed to her aunt... So, when she met Naoki Irie, who was said to be going to work in a "country resort" before she booked a homestay in this "country resort", She doesn't even feel bad anymore.
On the other hand, Irie Naoki was quite surprised when he saw her and Irie Hiroki, "You... didn't come to find me, did you?"
Aihara Kotoko looked at the sky, "I have to ask my aunt about it, she booked the room and itinerary."
"Qinzi~! I can't go, it's too, too, too, too bad!" Recalling the last eloquent instruction that aunt gave her before leaving, she wiped off her sweat...
Irie Naoki looked at her with an unclear expression. At this time, Sudou-senpai came out of the back room, saw her, and smiled, "Hello, Aihara-san, hey, when I saw the name that was scheduled to be registered, I still wanted to see her." It can't be such a coincidence, it's really you..."
Aihara Kotoko led Hiroki to greet him, and was about to say something when a fiery red sports car drove over from a distance, and after a gust of wind, with a loud brake sound, it stopped at several people. before.
Wait, why is that beauty in the driver's seat so familiar?Before Aihara Kotoko could react, this beauty was already heading in her direction, well... To be precise, it was Naoki Irie behind her who waved in the direction, "Hello Irie-kun, how are you doing?"
Before Irie Naoki could speak, Sudou-senpai beside him rushed forward in a gust of wind, "Hello, Matsumoto-san! You're here!"
Yuko Matsumoto said coolly, "Ah, it's just on the way, my villa is nearby." As he spoke, he approached Naoki Irie, "Hey, Mr. Irie, if you don't mind, I would like to invite you to dinner tonight .”
As soon as she finished speaking, the person who was sitting in the passenger seat of the car just got out of the car and walked over from a distance.
When everyone looked at it, their eyes suddenly lit up.
This is a very cute little beauty, whose appearance is five points similar to that of Matsumoto Yuko, except that her skin is fairer and more translucent, and her hair, which seems to be naturally curly, combed into a pear-shaped head, makes her overall look Fresher and more charming.
I saw her come meandering, walking briskly, with a light apricot-colored dress that reached to her ankles, fluttering with her movements.
She stood still in front of Naoki Irie, looked at him seriously, and suddenly pursed her lips into a smile, and at the same time winked playfully at Naoki Irie, "I'm Yuko Matsumoto's younger sister Ayako, hey, Irie-kun, I really described it to my sister It’s exactly the same. I heard that you are handsome and smart, so I want to start chasing you too~~”
Aihara Kotoko gave Matsumoto Yuko a sympathetic look, and in her eyes, she couldn't hide the exclamation "How did you educate your sister?"
Yuko Matsumoto was staring at her younger sister just now, and immediately turned to her, and at this moment, Ayako Matsumoto's gaze also moved over and landed on her, "Ah, so, are you...Kotoko Aihara?"
Kotoko Aihara smiled and nodded, "Yes, little sister, hello."
Matsumoto Ayako frowned, glanced at her face that was obviously without makeup, and looked at her sister dissatisfied, "Sister, it's really shameful for you to lose to such a person!" After speaking, she shook her head slightly, and then said, " Since you can't do it, let me do it~!"
This is... have you met the little sister who is a narcissistic princess?Aihara Kotoko smiled nonchalantly, hey, if she treats someone who is rude to her, if she is also rude and goes back, it will be the same as someone who was bitten by a dog biting a dog, and it does not conform to her aesthetics at all... Besides, Usually when meeting such a person, ignoring her is the biggest counterattack against her.
So, she held Yushu's hand tightly, rushed into Jiang Zhishu and nodded, "Hey, I'm a little tired, can you take me back to my room?"
This time, Irie Naoki didn't answer her, but looked at Matsumoto Ayako, glanced at her delicate face lightly, "You are even worse. Also, you have dandruff on your hair, don't shake it around casually. "
Taking advantage of the little beauty's madness, Irie Naoki grabbed Yuki's little hand, motioned Aihara Kotoko to follow, and walked happily into the villa.
Hey, sometimes, watching shoujo manga is not to see how good the male lead is to the female lead, but to see how cruel he is to the female lead... Naoki Irie, goodjob~! Shoujo manga plot master self-conscious about you
46、Chapter43
The country air is very fresh.
Early in the morning, Aihara Kotoko was awakened by the melodious singing of birds and the sound of dogs barking far and near. She turned over a few times and found that she couldn't continue to sleep in. She simply dressed up, picked up a book with rare interest, and planned to go to this homestay Walk and rest in the forest behind.
She went upstairs yesterday to put away her luggage. She was tired, so she cleaned up and went to sleep after not much shopping. She didn't know much about the structure of this house.Now she went downstairs and used some bread and milk that she had prepared. Seeing that the back door on the other side was closer to the forest, she walked over and opened it.
What greeted her was not the trees standing in front of her eyes, but the greetings of a giant working dog.She took a closer look, and it turned out to be a St. Bernard with white fur and brown prints.Although it jumped at her, its face was not vicious at all, but rather embarrassing, and before she could react, its soft tongue had already licked her cheek.
She used to be afraid of dogs, but the movement of the one in front of her was obviously expressing kindness, so she took advantage of the situation and patted the dog's head. At this time, Senior Sudou walked over from behind it.Seeing her like this, she laughed, "Hey, it looks like Xiaoxiao likes you very much~"
Is Contrast Moe very popular recently?Forget the cat named Wangwang, but now there is a huge "little" dog?Muttering in her heart, but maintaining a calm face, Aihara Kotoko stood up, saw him in work clothes and carrying a bucket, and asked, "Is Sudou-senpai busy? Do you need help?"
Sudou-senpai smiled heartily, "No, no, it's just washing down the mountain bike. Go do whatever you want."
"Okay," Aihara Kotoko got up from the ground, picked up the book that had fallen aside, patted it, and walked towards the forest according to the original plan.
Behind him is Senior Sudou's instruction, "Don't go too deep~! It's not safe and you will get lost."
Aihara Kotoko turned her head and gave him a grateful smile, "Understood, thank you."
The tall and tall trees in the forest are densely covered with lush greenery to cover the scorching sun overhead.Occasionally, the light coming in from the encirclement of protruding leaves shines brightly and darkly on the grass, forming a wonderful picture scroll.
She walked under a big thick tree, sat on the place where the roots were twisted and leaned against the trunk, took a big breath of fresh air, and then she read professional books.
She thought beautifully, and planned to take advantage of this period of vacation to read the book carefully, so that the new school year can be more relaxed. After all, words are not commonly used, and even if they are memorized, they are easy to forget...
However, she obviously forgot that in reality, she has the attribute of getting sleepy when she reads a book, and this book is only for professional books.
So, when the breeze caressed her face and the sun was hanging higher in the sky, Aihara Kotoko had successfully reunited with Duke Zhou once again.
It's just that the dream Duke Zhou sent her this time...is a bit strange.
She dreamed that Wangwang, the kitten of Irie Naoki's house, turned into a handsome boy. The two of them sat close together in the warm afternoon sun on the patio on the top floor of the apartment.
Just as she was looking at the blue sky in the distance comfortably, the boy with cat ears suddenly approached and kissed her lips. It was a kiss full of love and affection. Opening her cherry lips lightly, she wanted to have a further exchange with 'him', but her gaze also left the blue sky and turned to look at 'his' face, which turned out to be... the face of Naoki Irie.
She leaned back in fright.
After a soft sound, she opened her eyes in reality.It turned out that the book covering his face fell to the ground.
It turned out to be a dream... She finally realized it.Although this dream is a bit too real... the touch of the lips in the dream seems to still stay on the lips...
Well, it must have been the wrong way to fall asleep just now, Aihara Kotoko rubbed her eyes, and took a deep breath of the forest air, well, if she wasn't hungry, she really didn't want to go back now...
And as she picked up the book on the ground, put on her straw hat and walked slowly back along the way she came, behind the big tree she just sat on, Irie Hiroki walked out slowly, looking at her with an unclear expression A distant figure.
Just now, is it true?
He recalled the scene just now.
The elder brother who was reluctantly pulled by him to play hide-and-seek, when he found it, leaned forward and kissed Aihara Kotoko, the expression on his face was extremely soft and distorted in the sunlight cast by the layers of leaves.
He was startled, and didn't even notice that the thing in his hand had dropped. He just watched his brother gently pick up the straw hat that fell on the ground, and covered her face to block the sunlight that sneaked through the leaves. Continue to look for him here, but go in another direction.
But now, looking at the back of Aihara Kotoko gradually going away, is this person, brother, the one who is finally in his heart?
While thinking about it, Irie Hiroki walked towards the place where he lived in a daze.
......
After lunch, Irie Yuki went back to his room for an afternoon nap as usual, lying on the bed, but he didn't feel sleepy for a long time.Subconsciously, she wanted to touch the obsidian bracelet from her mother, but it was in vain.He was shocked again, and his drowsiness disappeared even more.
Thinking about it carefully, I suddenly remembered that when I was hiding behind a tree in the morning, the bracelet was accidentally scratched off by the bark and fell on the grass. Later, when I saw my brother coming over, he picked it up and put it on before he could put it on. Hold it in your hand and hide carefully.
And then...he didn't remember very clearly...
So, presumably, it should still be there, right?
Irie Yuki thought with some uncertainty, got up from the bed, went downstairs lightly, opened the back door leading to the forest, and saw Aihara Kotoko, who also abnormally did not go to sleep, but lazily leaned on the Sitting by the door, he looked at the sky and hummed a song he couldn't understand comfortably, while rubbing his little fur occasionally.
Xiaoxiao has been sunburned to the point of hiding on the shady ground, looking like a dead body, and she doesn't care if she is touched, and still hangs her head, looking listless.
One person and one dog didn't care about Yuki's arrival, but Aihara Kotoko couldn't help asking when watching him walking towards the forest, "Yushu, where are you going?"
Irie Yuki thought about it, and told her, "Well, I went to play in the forest in the morning, and I lost something, so I want to look for it."
Still, I'm ashamed to say, probably near the tree where she was leaning against and fell asleep reading a book.
Aihara Kotoko smiled, "Hey, it's not good for a child to go into the forest alone, come on, big sister will accompany you."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Yushu to refuse, he patted the head of the big dog beside him, stood up neatly with one hand on the ground, and held his little hand when he walked to Yushu with the other hand.
Not being held by any woman other than mother, Yushu's white jade-like face was slightly flushed, but he didn't break free, and followed her obediently into the forest.
The two were in the forest, and suddenly felt much cooler.
The cicadas on the tree called summer tirelessly.Occasionally, the breeze blew by, making Aihara Kotoko's long hair touch Irie Hiroki's cheek from time to time, making him feel itchy.
"You, do you like my brother?" After all, it was a child who had something on his mind, but he couldn't hold back and asked.
Aihara Kotoko paused, this question...
She also thought about it for a long time.
This boy brought her indifference, perplexity, doubts, and finally, gentleness.
She was clearly moved, but if she likes it, does it mean that she must be together?
Or, is she actually too cautious?Or, is it too much desire to control?She thinks too much about unknown things, for fear of being hurt. Is this a common problem of adults?
She is always envious of Xue Ye Taozi, who is always going forward bravely and full of vitality... Although she does not agree with not thinking too much before doing something, she just rushes forward blindly, but obviously, she seems to be I have gone to the other extreme, standing still, confining myself in a small space, thinking too much.
In fact, her behavior is also called cowardice... In the final analysis, her heart is not strong enough to support her to endure or solve any changes, so in fact, she dare not face herself calmly, face the situation of entering the world. Jiang Zhishu, after all, is also because of this...
Looking at Naoki Irie, who was one size smaller in front of her, looking at herself with childish and direct eyes, she finally couldn't bear to avoid it, and replied softly, "Yes."
The two walked slowly in the forest. Irie Yuki had a thin skin, and he was embarrassed to say that the place where the things were lost might be where he hid in the morning. This would make this woman feel that he was peeping at her sleeping, right?
He thought with some uncertainty, so he led her to the vicinity of the tree. When the two searched separately, he didn't tell her when he found the thing, but led her to the depths of the forest. After searching in several other places, I said I found it.
Aihara Kotoko finally breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled Yuki to lean against the tree to rest for a while.
However, at this time, the shadow of an unknown animal in the forest flashed past.She was startled, but before she could react, Yu Shu was already frightened and took a few steps back, but tripped over a protruding tree root under her feet, she suddenly lost her center of gravity and rolled down the hillside.
Aihara Kotoko only had time to hold his hand, but failed to slow down his falling tendency, and instead rolled down with him.
The hillside is not very steep, but it is not flat either.She struggled to hold Yu Shu's small body tightly in her arms, carefully protected his head with one hand, and tried her best to ignore the pain of the thin clothes on her body being pricked by stones and branches.When the two were almost at the end, her head hit a tree root, and she finally passed out as she wished.
At the same time, Naoki Irie, who was helping to move things, felt a chill in his heart for some reason.
Hey, the plot master of the girl comics said, boy, please prepare for the scene where the hero saves the beauty, the content of this chapter ends here xd......
The author has something to say: back!The self-torture is over, and normal updates resume...
ps I was delirious after being tortured by the cheating volcano hot spring tour. The volcano is also a mountain, and people will climb to death if you climb it, especially under the scorching sun...The hot spring tour is even more cheating. I jumped off the deck and swam to the so-called volcanic hot spring area by myself... If I talk too much, I will cry... For the remaining few updates, I will rush to deliver them in the next few days xd, please forgive me m(__) m
47、Chapter44
Hero, hero, show up quickly~
Kotoko Aihara opened her eyes again. The first thing she saw was the sky that had been slightly reddened by the setting sun, and the backs of the flock of birds chasing the setting sun.
A slight sound came from her side, she turned her head, and it was Irie Hiroki sitting on the ground beside her, with a small face full of worry, looking at her cautiously, "You...are you okay?"
Seeing him as normal and uninjured, Aihara Kotoko breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and comforted, "It's good, Yuki doesn't have to worry." After speaking, she slowly sat up against the tree stump with his support , when her foot was moving, a piercing pain hit her, and she tried her best to keep her composure...
Tsk, trouble... She frowned secretly, and twisted her foot in this situation, she looked up at the hillside again, what should I do, it seems that there is no way to climb up...
The wind in the forest has begun to cool down in the evening.
Aihara Kotoko saw Yushu who was helping her move away the sharp stones and branches, and shivered slightly in the wind, leaned over, and hugged him, "Hey, that's all right , it's all right." Seeing that his little face was flushed and he seemed to be struggling, he continued helplessly, "Come here, I'm a little cold..."
After hearing the words, Yu Shu really stopped moving, and was hugged by her obediently.
Aihara Kotoko looked at the mountains in the distance, and the height at which the sun hangs... Well, although there is still a little time before the complete sunset, it will be a matter of time before the sky gets dark.
And this, sooner or later, shouldn't support her fully recovering enough to climb the hill.
Can we just wait?
After hesitating for a while, she still patted Yushu's arm in her arms, "Yushu, my foot seems to be sprained, and I can't climb up... Do you still know the way? Can you go back first... ..."
Before he finished speaking, Yu Shu turned his head and quickly interrupted, "I... don't want it!"
Seeing the firm expression on his small face and the dissatisfaction in his eyes, Kotoko Aihara smiled slightly, circled her fingers, and gently tapped his forehead, "Hey, I'm not a person who sacrifices himself for others~ I told you to go back first, hoping that you would find your way home while the sky was still bright, so that you could lead someone to rescue me..."
But at this point, she began to worry again, "I just don't know, after we parted, what would you do if you got lost in the forest... and I don't know if there are any animals coming out here, Is there any danger for you to go alone..."
Yu Shu furiously said, "Why don't I know the way...animals...I'm not afraid!"
Aihara Kotoko looked at him jokingly, she didn't know who it was, she just saw the black shadow of some animal running past and she was so frightened that she slid down the hillside...
Irie Hiroki's small face turned suspiciously red, obviously recalling the scene just now... A little awkwardly said, "I'm sorry." He looked at the scratch marks on Aihara Kotoko's cheek, and was careful by her Hidden behind him, with some bleeding wounds on his arm, he said guiltily, "Also, thank you."
Aihara Kotoko looked at him with his head drooping slightly, looking listless, smiled, and patted his head, "Hey, forget it, let's stay here for a while, this place shouldn't be deep in the forest, and I haven't heard of it. There will be some particularly dangerous animals, obediently wait for someone to rescue them... The worst thing is to stay for one night." Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated, "Well, well... the organization is not good enough. I need you to go first, why don't you stay with me?" Seeing Yu Shu nod after finishing speaking, he took the opportunity to pinch his little face and rub his fluffy short hair, this kid is usually not so obedient and casual Kneading... My heart is dark...
And the other side.
As the sun went down, Naoki Irie did not see his younger brother and Kotoko Aihara at all.
He also inspected the room of the two of them, but there was no one...
From a distance in the house, he saw two figures walking towards the villa. When he walked to the door, it was Yuko Matsumoto's sister.
He frowned slightly, and called to Senior Sudou who was passing by and wanted to meet him, "Senior, have you seen my brother and Kotoko Aihara?"
Senior Sudou stood still, looked at him sideways, and asked in confusion, "No...what's wrong?"
Irie Naoki's expression became more serious, "I haven't seen them since the afternoon. There is no one in the room..."
No, if it was just a walk in the market, I should be back by this time...
At this time, a few dogs barking came from the back door. Naoki Irie thought about it, went into their room, took a short sleeve from Hiroki and a handkerchief from Kotoko Aihara, and went to Xiaoxiao to smell it for him. Smell.
Xiao Xiao sniffed, then suddenly turned her head and yelled in the direction of the forest.
By this time, the sun had completely set.
The wind in the forest was cool to the bone, and Naoki Irie followed behind Xiao Xiao, shuttling through the forest.The deeper you go, the more you can't stop worrying...
Occasionally, there were unknown insects chirping in the silent forest. He listened carefully, but luckily he didn't hear any large animals screaming, and the few wild dogs that sprang out on the road were also bitten by the neck one by one. He retreated, thinking about whether the two of them would be in any danger, he just felt that his current mood was an anxiety that he had never felt before.
But at this time, Xiaoxiao suddenly yelled a few times, rushed down the side hillside, and bit a black figure not far away, it was a wild dog, but it didn't pounce on him, but... ...With the moonlight and the light of the flashlight he turned on, the two figures who were sleeping soundly hugging each other on the tree stump, who else was there besides these two whom he had been worried about all the way?
Although the slope is not very steep, it is not very flat either.He tied one side of the rope firmly to the thick trunk of a nearby tree, and slowly climbed down while holding the other end with one hand.
Kotoko Aihara was awakened by the barking of the dog just now, she rubbed her eyes before she could react, and was drool all over her cheeks with her little tongue. She looked over in surprise, and the huge St. Bernard happily wagged its tail at her. , couldn't help hugging its big dog's head and kissed it, and felt Yushu in his arms stand up and ran in one direction, followed by his crisp voice, "Brother...Brother!"
She raised her head, and Irie Naoki was already standing on the relatively gentle hillside, put down the rope in her hand and hugged Hiroki, took off the coat on his back to wrap him up, and was walking towards her.
The night was cold and dewy, and she had been hugging Yu Shu to block the cool wind just now, she didn't know that her body was already trembling slightly, and she didn't know that the multiple scratches on her cheeks and arms had drawn marks on her fair skin. A piece of blue and purple... So, she would not know what happened to the tenderness and pity in his eyes when he saw all these.
It was as if she herself didn't understand where the sense of stability in her heart came from the moment she saw him.
Naoki Irie checked her whole body carefully, and found that her ankle was only twisted. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help hugging her gently. He opened his mouth, but there were only two words in a low voice, "Thank you."
It's just that the gratitude, gratitude, fear, and careful tenderness contained in this thank you probably even touched his own heart.
Kotoko Aihara gave a soft "hmm".
Irie Naoki continued, "Do you care? These? After I came out, I realized how delicate I was at home. Not only did I deal with all kinds of trivial matters in life, but also the interactions between people were very complicated. Your previous concerns were not without It makes sense...In my previous life, these troubles were all handled by my parents. Even if I have a relationship partner, do I have to let them worry about my future wife? What's more..."
He glanced at her, "You are much more independent and mature than me...Although I don't want to admit it, you also live together in the same way."
Aihara Kotoko touched his palm, "You are still young..."
"Are you very old?" Naoki Irie clenched her hand punitively, fearing that it would hurt her, and quickly let go, "Besides, today's matter is also a trouble to you. It is true that I have always been responsible for my family. Rarely, aside from Hiroki, my parents’ expectations of me have never been unclear. I didn’t discuss with them when I decided to become a doctor. Necessary..."
"It's okay, growth also needs a process..."
"Well, yes. And because it's a family member, I should take care of it... Now, I decided to take the entrance examination for business courses next semester, try to take care of it at the same time, and study a double degree in medicine and business. In this way, When necessary, I should be able to help my father lighten some of the burden, although he has never made too many demands on me...in the future we..."
Aihara Kotoko didn't say anything this time, in the silence of the night, there was only the sound of her light breathing.He took another look. It turned out that at some point, she had fallen asleep.
The usually bright eyes were covered, and Naoki Irie approached, kissed her lips lightly, covered her with the quilt, and then chuckled, "Really, at such an important time..."
After covering the quilt, I gradually fell asleep.
Hey, stealing kisses is a good habit, please give me a thumbs up for the plot x
45、Chapter42
Keep up the good work, boy!
When Naoki Irie woke up, it was already dawn.He turned his head, and the person next to the pillow was no longer there, only the slightly folded pillow cover and quilt, revealing the fact that someone had slept here.
He sat up, lifted the quilt and stood up, looked around the room for a week, the indoor space was only so big, and there was no trace of anyone else except him.
However, there are still some... that are different from usual...
His cat alarm clock usually meows early every morning to wake up his little Wangwang who is fed cat food, but he nestles obediently on the sofa, and there is still a little unfinished food left in his food bowl.
On the long log table, there is a pot of hot coffee and a porcelain plate with two freshly made sandwiches, covered by a large transparent cover.
Irie Naoki walked over, and under the coffee cup, there was a message note, "I'm going to the hospital to see Hiroki first, breakfast is on the table, remember, coffee can only be drunk after eating! Above, Aihara Kotoko"
He was slightly lost in thought, and after a while, he put down the things in his hands and walked into the bathroom...
At the same time, Irie's parents finally rushed back to Tokyo.When I got home, I didn't see Kotoko. Aihara Noriko quickly called her and learned that she was in the hospital with Yuki. She put down her luggage and took some things that Yuki should use in the hospital. Husband Irie's father rushed over.
Here, Irie Naoki entered the ward, and as soon as the door opened, what caught the eye was Aihara Kotoko lying on the side of Yuki's bed and sleeping, with the hair curling up slightly by the ear, which was rare to be childish.
But Yu Shu had already woken up, heard the door knock and looked over, seeing that it was his elder brother, his eyes were full of admiration.
Irie Naoki smiled slightly at his younger brother, approached him, leaned forward and touched his forehead comfortingly, then raised his index finger and put it on his lips, making a gesture of silence, and then walked to Aihara Kotoko, He gently picked her up and walked to the couch beside him.
And very unfortunately, at this moment... as the door of the ward was opened again, it was Noriko Irie who walked in with Shigeki Irie.
As soon as the mother raised her eyes, her elder brother was hugging Aihara Kotoko, a princess, looking at her softly, before she could put it down, she exclaimed excitedly in a small "ah".
Aihara Kotoko was already a little awake when her body was moved, but her consciousness was still confused. Hearing this sound, she completely recovered her sanity, and when she opened her eyes, it was Naoki Irie, with a beautiful and smooth chin.
Aihara Kotoko immediately lowered her head, looked at her current state again, and followed the fiery gaze, and met the excited eyes of Aunt Irie Noriko, she suddenly... wanted to close her eyes again On, all as if he was still asleep.
Seeing that she was awake, Irie Naoki put her down.
Irie Noriko walked to Yushu's hospital bed, saw that he was recovering well, and finally felt relieved, and as she finally breathed a sigh of relief about her youngest son's health problems, the excitement about the scene just now resurfaced in her heart In her eyes, she looked at her eldest son.
When Naoki Irie met her eyes, he sighed in his heart, but his face was calm, and he said to his mother, "Mom, can you come out for a while, I have something to tell you."
Irie Noriko nodded, blinked at Aihara Kotoko, and briskly followed him to the door.
The two sat on the bench in the public area outside, Naoki Irie pondered for a moment, and finally said to his mother, "Mom, just now, it was indeed what you thought."
"Ah?! I knew it! Qinzi is the most suitable for my brother! Has my brother finally realized this now?" Noriko Irie's eyes lit up, and the excitement filled the entire public area.
Irie Naoki frowned slightly, and continued, "However, I hope that my mother will let me handle everything by myself. If we are together, I only hope that it is because she agrees with me and sees my sincerity, not because of your mother."
It was rare for Noriko Irie to see such a serious look on his face, slowly put away the excitement on his face, looked at his eldest son who was already a head taller than him, suddenly smiled, and said slyly, "Hey... okay , then I don’t care about it this time, I’ll wait for you to abduct my daughter-in-law home...I also want to watch you get married as soon as possible and give me a little grandson~”
How on earth can we go astray to get there!I really dare to think...
Irie Naoki sighed in his heart, but fortunately, no matter what, his mother will not pursue this matter any more, that's good...
Hey, he doesn't want to see the half of that guy's head that rarely emerges from the shell, shrinking back again...
......
Winter goes to spring, seasons come and go, and soon, the new year arrives.
After the short spring break, with half a semester of hard work, the summer vacation, with a gratifying length, brought a big gift to the students who had studied hard for half a semester.
Regarding how to spend this summer vacation, Irie Naoki's answer can only be "part-time job".
After moving out, everything is on my own.Although it was hard work, he felt that his whole body was enriched a lot.And the existence of little Amiao Wangwang also made him understand the word "responsibility"...Although his original intention of raising it was inseparable from someone...
His summer job is to help out at the resort in Sudou-senpai's hometown.So regarding the ownership of his cat family members in recent months, the first thing he thought of was to send them to Kotoko Aihara.
Sure enough, when he found her, he just mentioned it, and the girl quickly agreed without even asking why.
In fact, Aihara Kotoko just thought about going home to live during the summer vacation. Her father is too busy to be at home often, and she is worried that she will be bored when the time comes...
So, the two sides reached an agreement in a happy and peaceful atmosphere, and decided happily... no wonder.
On the day Kotoko Aihara went to pick up the kitten, she suddenly received an order from Noriko Irie to ask her to help pick up Hiroki Irie from the karate interest class to meet her, and then the three of them went to a newly discovered Chinese restaurant Cantonese restaurant for dinner.
Looking at the kitten box in her hand, and looking at the time on the watch, she was afraid that Yushu would go home by herself first and miss out with the big team, so she had to pick up Yushu first and let him go home with her to pick up the kitten. Put it down, and go to join Noriko Irie.
Hiroki was surprised when he saw the kitten in her hand, and when he learned that the kitten was still his brother's new family member, he looked at Aihara Kotoko's expression and became... quite complicated.
And within a few days...
Aihara Kotoko received a call from Aunt Irie Noriko again, expressing the hope that she could help take Yuki to a resort in the countryside to relax. She has already booked the room and itinerary, because Irie's father is busy with work and has no time, so she has to stay If you stay with him, you won't go with them.
As for kittens?She said that she would take good care of it, so that Qinzi didn't have to worry at all.
I'm not worried!I haven’t lived enough with the little kitty (?!) in the world, hey~!Kotoko Aihara is lonely......
However, she still agreed to her aunt... So, when she met Naoki Irie, who was said to be going to work in a "country resort" before she booked a homestay in this "country resort", She doesn't even feel bad anymore.
On the other hand, Irie Naoki was quite surprised when he saw her and Irie Hiroki, "You... didn't come to find me, did you?"
Aihara Kotoko looked at the sky, "I have to ask my aunt about it, she booked the room and itinerary."
"Qinzi~! I can't go, it's too, too, too, too bad!" Recalling the last eloquent instruction that aunt gave her before leaving, she wiped off her sweat...
Irie Naoki looked at her with an unclear expression. At this time, Sudou-senpai came out of the back room, saw her, and smiled, "Hello, Aihara-san, hey, when I saw the name that was scheduled to be registered, I still wanted to see her." It can't be such a coincidence, it's really you..."
Aihara Kotoko led Hiroki to greet him, and was about to say something when a fiery red sports car drove over from a distance, and after a gust of wind, with a loud brake sound, it stopped at several people. before.
Wait, why is that beauty in the driver's seat so familiar?Before Aihara Kotoko could react, this beauty was already heading in her direction, well... To be precise, it was Naoki Irie behind her who waved in the direction, "Hello Irie-kun, how are you doing?"
Before Irie Naoki could speak, Sudou-senpai beside him rushed forward in a gust of wind, "Hello, Matsumoto-san! You're here!"
Yuko Matsumoto said coolly, "Ah, it's just on the way, my villa is nearby." As he spoke, he approached Naoki Irie, "Hey, Mr. Irie, if you don't mind, I would like to invite you to dinner tonight .”
As soon as she finished speaking, the person who was sitting in the passenger seat of the car just got out of the car and walked over from a distance.
When everyone looked at it, their eyes suddenly lit up.
This is a very cute little beauty, whose appearance is five points similar to that of Matsumoto Yuko, except that her skin is fairer and more translucent, and her hair, which seems to be naturally curly, combed into a pear-shaped head, makes her overall look Fresher and more charming.
I saw her come meandering, walking briskly, with a light apricot-colored dress that reached to her ankles, fluttering with her movements.
She stood still in front of Naoki Irie, looked at him seriously, and suddenly pursed her lips into a smile, and at the same time winked playfully at Naoki Irie, "I'm Yuko Matsumoto's younger sister Ayako, hey, Irie-kun, I really described it to my sister It’s exactly the same. I heard that you are handsome and smart, so I want to start chasing you too~~”
Aihara Kotoko gave Matsumoto Yuko a sympathetic look, and in her eyes, she couldn't hide the exclamation "How did you educate your sister?"
Yuko Matsumoto was staring at her younger sister just now, and immediately turned to her, and at this moment, Ayako Matsumoto's gaze also moved over and landed on her, "Ah, so, are you...Kotoko Aihara?"
Kotoko Aihara smiled and nodded, "Yes, little sister, hello."
Matsumoto Ayako frowned, glanced at her face that was obviously without makeup, and looked at her sister dissatisfied, "Sister, it's really shameful for you to lose to such a person!" After speaking, she shook her head slightly, and then said, " Since you can't do it, let me do it~!"
This is... have you met the little sister who is a narcissistic princess?Aihara Kotoko smiled nonchalantly, hey, if she treats someone who is rude to her, if she is also rude and goes back, it will be the same as someone who was bitten by a dog biting a dog, and it does not conform to her aesthetics at all... Besides, Usually when meeting such a person, ignoring her is the biggest counterattack against her.
So, she held Yushu's hand tightly, rushed into Jiang Zhishu and nodded, "Hey, I'm a little tired, can you take me back to my room?"
This time, Irie Naoki didn't answer her, but looked at Matsumoto Ayako, glanced at her delicate face lightly, "You are even worse. Also, you have dandruff on your hair, don't shake it around casually. "
Taking advantage of the little beauty's madness, Irie Naoki grabbed Yuki's little hand, motioned Aihara Kotoko to follow, and walked happily into the villa.
Hey, sometimes, watching shoujo manga is not to see how good the male lead is to the female lead, but to see how cruel he is to the female lead... Naoki Irie, goodjob~! Shoujo manga plot master self-conscious about you
46、Chapter43
The country air is very fresh.
Early in the morning, Aihara Kotoko was awakened by the melodious singing of birds and the sound of dogs barking far and near. She turned over a few times and found that she couldn't continue to sleep in. She simply dressed up, picked up a book with rare interest, and planned to go to this homestay Walk and rest in the forest behind.
She went upstairs yesterday to put away her luggage. She was tired, so she cleaned up and went to sleep after not much shopping. She didn't know much about the structure of this house.Now she went downstairs and used some bread and milk that she had prepared. Seeing that the back door on the other side was closer to the forest, she walked over and opened it.
What greeted her was not the trees standing in front of her eyes, but the greetings of a giant working dog.She took a closer look, and it turned out to be a St. Bernard with white fur and brown prints.Although it jumped at her, its face was not vicious at all, but rather embarrassing, and before she could react, its soft tongue had already licked her cheek.
She used to be afraid of dogs, but the movement of the one in front of her was obviously expressing kindness, so she took advantage of the situation and patted the dog's head. At this time, Senior Sudou walked over from behind it.Seeing her like this, she laughed, "Hey, it looks like Xiaoxiao likes you very much~"
Is Contrast Moe very popular recently?Forget the cat named Wangwang, but now there is a huge "little" dog?Muttering in her heart, but maintaining a calm face, Aihara Kotoko stood up, saw him in work clothes and carrying a bucket, and asked, "Is Sudou-senpai busy? Do you need help?"
Sudou-senpai smiled heartily, "No, no, it's just washing down the mountain bike. Go do whatever you want."
"Okay," Aihara Kotoko got up from the ground, picked up the book that had fallen aside, patted it, and walked towards the forest according to the original plan.
Behind him is Senior Sudou's instruction, "Don't go too deep~! It's not safe and you will get lost."
Aihara Kotoko turned her head and gave him a grateful smile, "Understood, thank you."
The tall and tall trees in the forest are densely covered with lush greenery to cover the scorching sun overhead.Occasionally, the light coming in from the encirclement of protruding leaves shines brightly and darkly on the grass, forming a wonderful picture scroll.
She walked under a big thick tree, sat on the place where the roots were twisted and leaned against the trunk, took a big breath of fresh air, and then she read professional books.
She thought beautifully, and planned to take advantage of this period of vacation to read the book carefully, so that the new school year can be more relaxed. After all, words are not commonly used, and even if they are memorized, they are easy to forget...
However, she obviously forgot that in reality, she has the attribute of getting sleepy when she reads a book, and this book is only for professional books.
So, when the breeze caressed her face and the sun was hanging higher in the sky, Aihara Kotoko had successfully reunited with Duke Zhou once again.
It's just that the dream Duke Zhou sent her this time...is a bit strange.
She dreamed that Wangwang, the kitten of Irie Naoki's house, turned into a handsome boy. The two of them sat close together in the warm afternoon sun on the patio on the top floor of the apartment.
Just as she was looking at the blue sky in the distance comfortably, the boy with cat ears suddenly approached and kissed her lips. It was a kiss full of love and affection. Opening her cherry lips lightly, she wanted to have a further exchange with 'him', but her gaze also left the blue sky and turned to look at 'his' face, which turned out to be... the face of Naoki Irie.
She leaned back in fright.
After a soft sound, she opened her eyes in reality.It turned out that the book covering his face fell to the ground.
It turned out to be a dream... She finally realized it.Although this dream is a bit too real... the touch of the lips in the dream seems to still stay on the lips...
Well, it must have been the wrong way to fall asleep just now, Aihara Kotoko rubbed her eyes, and took a deep breath of the forest air, well, if she wasn't hungry, she really didn't want to go back now...
And as she picked up the book on the ground, put on her straw hat and walked slowly back along the way she came, behind the big tree she just sat on, Irie Hiroki walked out slowly, looking at her with an unclear expression A distant figure.
Just now, is it true?
He recalled the scene just now.
The elder brother who was reluctantly pulled by him to play hide-and-seek, when he found it, leaned forward and kissed Aihara Kotoko, the expression on his face was extremely soft and distorted in the sunlight cast by the layers of leaves.
He was startled, and didn't even notice that the thing in his hand had dropped. He just watched his brother gently pick up the straw hat that fell on the ground, and covered her face to block the sunlight that sneaked through the leaves. Continue to look for him here, but go in another direction.
But now, looking at the back of Aihara Kotoko gradually going away, is this person, brother, the one who is finally in his heart?
While thinking about it, Irie Hiroki walked towards the place where he lived in a daze.
......
After lunch, Irie Yuki went back to his room for an afternoon nap as usual, lying on the bed, but he didn't feel sleepy for a long time.Subconsciously, she wanted to touch the obsidian bracelet from her mother, but it was in vain.He was shocked again, and his drowsiness disappeared even more.
Thinking about it carefully, I suddenly remembered that when I was hiding behind a tree in the morning, the bracelet was accidentally scratched off by the bark and fell on the grass. Later, when I saw my brother coming over, he picked it up and put it on before he could put it on. Hold it in your hand and hide carefully.
And then...he didn't remember very clearly...
So, presumably, it should still be there, right?
Irie Yuki thought with some uncertainty, got up from the bed, went downstairs lightly, opened the back door leading to the forest, and saw Aihara Kotoko, who also abnormally did not go to sleep, but lazily leaned on the Sitting by the door, he looked at the sky and hummed a song he couldn't understand comfortably, while rubbing his little fur occasionally.
Xiaoxiao has been sunburned to the point of hiding on the shady ground, looking like a dead body, and she doesn't care if she is touched, and still hangs her head, looking listless.
One person and one dog didn't care about Yuki's arrival, but Aihara Kotoko couldn't help asking when watching him walking towards the forest, "Yushu, where are you going?"
Irie Yuki thought about it, and told her, "Well, I went to play in the forest in the morning, and I lost something, so I want to look for it."
Still, I'm ashamed to say, probably near the tree where she was leaning against and fell asleep reading a book.
Aihara Kotoko smiled, "Hey, it's not good for a child to go into the forest alone, come on, big sister will accompany you."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Yushu to refuse, he patted the head of the big dog beside him, stood up neatly with one hand on the ground, and held his little hand when he walked to Yushu with the other hand.
Not being held by any woman other than mother, Yushu's white jade-like face was slightly flushed, but he didn't break free, and followed her obediently into the forest.
The two were in the forest, and suddenly felt much cooler.
The cicadas on the tree called summer tirelessly.Occasionally, the breeze blew by, making Aihara Kotoko's long hair touch Irie Hiroki's cheek from time to time, making him feel itchy.
"You, do you like my brother?" After all, it was a child who had something on his mind, but he couldn't hold back and asked.
Aihara Kotoko paused, this question...
She also thought about it for a long time.
This boy brought her indifference, perplexity, doubts, and finally, gentleness.
She was clearly moved, but if she likes it, does it mean that she must be together?
Or, is she actually too cautious?Or, is it too much desire to control?She thinks too much about unknown things, for fear of being hurt. Is this a common problem of adults?
She is always envious of Xue Ye Taozi, who is always going forward bravely and full of vitality... Although she does not agree with not thinking too much before doing something, she just rushes forward blindly, but obviously, she seems to be I have gone to the other extreme, standing still, confining myself in a small space, thinking too much.
In fact, her behavior is also called cowardice... In the final analysis, her heart is not strong enough to support her to endure or solve any changes, so in fact, she dare not face herself calmly, face the situation of entering the world. Jiang Zhishu, after all, is also because of this...
Looking at Naoki Irie, who was one size smaller in front of her, looking at herself with childish and direct eyes, she finally couldn't bear to avoid it, and replied softly, "Yes."
The two walked slowly in the forest. Irie Yuki had a thin skin, and he was embarrassed to say that the place where the things were lost might be where he hid in the morning. This would make this woman feel that he was peeping at her sleeping, right?
He thought with some uncertainty, so he led her to the vicinity of the tree. When the two searched separately, he didn't tell her when he found the thing, but led her to the depths of the forest. After searching in several other places, I said I found it.
Aihara Kotoko finally breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled Yuki to lean against the tree to rest for a while.
However, at this time, the shadow of an unknown animal in the forest flashed past.She was startled, but before she could react, Yu Shu was already frightened and took a few steps back, but tripped over a protruding tree root under her feet, she suddenly lost her center of gravity and rolled down the hillside.
Aihara Kotoko only had time to hold his hand, but failed to slow down his falling tendency, and instead rolled down with him.
The hillside is not very steep, but it is not flat either.She struggled to hold Yu Shu's small body tightly in her arms, carefully protected his head with one hand, and tried her best to ignore the pain of the thin clothes on her body being pricked by stones and branches.When the two were almost at the end, her head hit a tree root, and she finally passed out as she wished.
At the same time, Naoki Irie, who was helping to move things, felt a chill in his heart for some reason.
Hey, the plot master of the girl comics said, boy, please prepare for the scene where the hero saves the beauty, the content of this chapter ends here xd......
The author has something to say: back!The self-torture is over, and normal updates resume...

I jumped off the deck and swam to the so-called volcanic hot spring area by myself... If I talk too much, I will cry... For the remaining few updates, I will rush to deliver them in the next few days xd, please forgive me m(__) m
47、Chapter44
Hero, hero, show up quickly~
Kotoko Aihara opened her eyes again. The first thing she saw was the sky that had been slightly reddened by the setting sun, and the backs of the flock of birds chasing the setting sun.
A slight sound came from her side, she turned her head, and it was Irie Hiroki sitting on the ground beside her, with a small face full of worry, looking at her cautiously, "You...are you okay?"
Seeing him as normal and uninjured, Aihara Kotoko breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and comforted, "It's good, Yuki doesn't have to worry." After speaking, she slowly sat up against the tree stump with his support , when her foot was moving, a piercing pain hit her, and she tried her best to keep her composure...
Tsk, trouble... She frowned secretly, and twisted her foot in this situation, she looked up at the hillside again, what should I do, it seems that there is no way to climb up...
The wind in the forest has begun to cool down in the evening.
Aihara Kotoko saw Yushu who was helping her move away the sharp stones and branches, and shivered slightly in the wind, leaned over, and hugged him, "Hey, that's all right , it's all right." Seeing that his little face was flushed and he seemed to be struggling, he continued helplessly, "Come here, I'm a little cold..."
After hearing the words, Yu Shu really stopped moving, and was hugged by her obediently.
Aihara Kotoko looked at the mountains in the distance, and the height at which the sun hangs... Well, although there is still a little time before the complete sunset, it will be a matter of time before the sky gets dark.
And this, sooner or later, shouldn't support her fully recovering enough to climb the hill.
Can we just wait?
After hesitating for a while, she still patted Yushu's arm in her arms, "Yushu, my foot seems to be sprained, and I can't climb up... Do you still know the way? Can you go back first... ..."
Before he finished speaking, Yu Shu turned his head and quickly interrupted, "I... don't want it!"
Seeing the firm expression on his small face and the dissatisfaction in his eyes, Kotoko Aihara smiled slightly, circled her fingers, and gently tapped his forehead, "Hey, I'm not a person who sacrifices himself for others~ I told you to go back first, hoping that you would find your way home while the sky was still bright, so that you could lead someone to rescue me..."
But at this point, she began to worry again, "I just don't know, after we parted, what would you do if you got lost in the forest... and I don't know if there are any animals coming out here, Is there any danger for you to go alone..."
Yu Shu furiously said, "Why don't I know the way...animals...I'm not afraid!"
Aihara Kotoko looked at him jokingly, she didn't know who it was, she just saw the black shadow of some animal running past and she was so frightened that she slid down the hillside...
Irie Hiroki's small face turned suspiciously red, obviously recalling the scene just now... A little awkwardly said, "I'm sorry." He looked at the scratch marks on Aihara Kotoko's cheek, and was careful by her Hidden behind him, with some bleeding wounds on his arm, he said guiltily, "Also, thank you."
Aihara Kotoko looked at him with his head drooping slightly, looking listless, smiled, and patted his head, "Hey, forget it, let's stay here for a while, this place shouldn't be deep in the forest, and I haven't heard of it. There will be some particularly dangerous animals, obediently wait for someone to rescue them... The worst thing is to stay for one night." Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated, "Well, well... the organization is not good enough. I need you to go first, why don't you stay with me?" Seeing Yu Shu nod after finishing speaking, he took the opportunity to pinch his little face and rub his fluffy short hair, this kid is usually not so obedient and casual Kneading... My heart is dark...
And the other side.
As the sun went down, Naoki Irie did not see his younger brother and Kotoko Aihara at all.
He also inspected the room of the two of them, but there was no one...
From a distance in the house, he saw two figures walking towards the villa. When he walked to the door, it was Yuko Matsumoto's sister.
He frowned slightly, and called to Senior Sudou who was passing by and wanted to meet him, "Senior, have you seen my brother and Kotoko Aihara?"
Senior Sudou stood still, looked at him sideways, and asked in confusion, "No...what's wrong?"
Irie Naoki's expression became more serious, "I haven't seen them since the afternoon. There is no one in the room..."
No, if it was just a walk in the market, I should be back by this time...
At this time, a few dogs barking came from the back door. Naoki Irie thought about it, went into their room, took a short sleeve from Hiroki and a handkerchief from Kotoko Aihara, and went to Xiaoxiao to smell it for him. Smell.
Xiao Xiao sniffed, then suddenly turned her head and yelled in the direction of the forest.
By this time, the sun had completely set.
The wind in the forest was cool to the bone, and Naoki Irie followed behind Xiao Xiao, shuttling through the forest.The deeper you go, the more you can't stop worrying...
Occasionally, there were unknown insects chirping in the silent forest. He listened carefully, but luckily he didn't hear any large animals screaming, and the few wild dogs that sprang out on the road were also bitten by the neck one by one. He retreated, thinking about whether the two of them would be in any danger, he just felt that his current mood was an anxiety that he had never felt before.
But at this time, Xiaoxiao suddenly yelled a few times, rushed down the side hillside, and bit a black figure not far away, it was a wild dog, but it didn't pounce on him, but... ...With the moonlight and the light of the flashlight he turned on, the two figures who were sleeping soundly hugging each other on the tree stump, who else was there besides these two whom he had been worried about all the way?
Although the slope is not very steep, it is not very flat either.He tied one side of the rope firmly to the thick trunk of a nearby tree, and slowly climbed down while holding the other end with one hand.
Kotoko Aihara was awakened by the barking of the dog just now, she rubbed her eyes before she could react, and was drool all over her cheeks with her little tongue. She looked over in surprise, and the huge St. Bernard happily wagged its tail at her. , couldn't help hugging its big dog's head and kissed it, and felt Yushu in his arms stand up and ran in one direction, followed by his crisp voice, "Brother...Brother!"
She raised her head, and Irie Naoki was already standing on the relatively gentle hillside, put down the rope in her hand and hugged Hiroki, took off the coat on his back to wrap him up, and was walking towards her.
The night was cold and dewy, and she had been hugging Yu Shu to block the cool wind just now, she didn't know that her body was already trembling slightly, and she didn't know that the multiple scratches on her cheeks and arms had drawn marks on her fair skin. A piece of blue and purple... So, she would not know what happened to the tenderness and pity in his eyes when he saw all these.
It was as if she herself didn't understand where the sense of stability in her heart came from the moment she saw him.
Naoki Irie checked her whole body carefully, and found that her ankle was only twisted. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help hugging her gently. He opened his mouth, but there were only two words in a low voice, "Thank you."
It's just that the gratitude, gratitude, fear, and careful tenderness contained in this thank you probably even touched his own heart.
