[pseudo] what happened

-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------

A few days after New Year's Day, there was a heavy snowfall in Bingsheng Town.

The peaceful town in the past was covered with silver overnight, and the snow-covered town seemed to become more peaceful and peaceful.

In fact, this heavy snow had nothing to do with Wujiang at all. She was only worried about one thing, and that was how to clear the snow piled up at the door the next morning.

Although when she was still Jiang Wu, she learned a lot of life skills that ordinary girls don’t care about from her mother who is a strong woman—such as repairing light bulbs and pipes, installing fuses and wiring, etc.—basically, one person can support two up.

But she still can't do some physical work alone.

Although he knew that salt could melt snow, Wujiang began to wonder whether he should go to the supermarket to buy a few bags of salt after seeing the snow outside the house early the next morning.

If the little salt at home is to be used to melt snow, it's not enough at all!

Even Wu Jiang, who is relatively independent, still can't help but lament that it is impossible to have no one in the family who can do manual work when faced with these physical tasks that are definitely beyond the burden of the body.

But Wujiang soon found out that her worry was entirely her worry.

——Because her neighbor is Hibari Kyouya.

Since this is the first snow that has fallen since Wue moved to Nishori, Wue, who does not have any snow-plowing tools at home, is wrapped in a thick coat, wearing a hat, scarf and gloves, and is carrying his small bag to go to the commercial street. When he tried his luck to see if there were any snow removal props for sale there, the scene after opening the door made Wujiang froze at the door of his house.

Several disciplinary committee members with airplane heads and black old-fashioned uniforms that have never changed for thousands of years are sweeping snow in front of her and Skylark's house with a broom, and some of them are spreading coarse salt on the thick snow. superior.

It is a good thing to have free labor delivered to her door to solve her urgent needs, but...

This seems to be too exaggerated, right?

In the entire Disciplinary Committee, besides Skylark, the only person Wujiang is familiar with is Kusakabe, who is the vice chairman.

So in the face of a group of strangers, Wujiang naturally subconsciously chose the most familiar person among them to question.

"Good morning, Kusakabe-kun."

After finding Cao Bi who was directing other people's work, Wu Jiang bowed slightly.

"May I ask how is this going?"

"Good morning, Shinagawa."

Seeing Wu Jiang coming out, Cao Bi immediately stopped what he was doing and patiently explained the current situation to the other party.Yunque originally told him not to disturb Wujiang, but since Wujiang asked, he had to answer.

"The chairman asked us to come over to sweep the snow, saying that he would help you clean up the snow in front of your house by the way."

Others don't know who Shinagawa Kirie is, doesn't he know?

Hibari ordered him to do everything related to Shinagawa Kirie.So Kusakabe knew best how much Hibari cared about Shinagawa Kirie.

Although Skylark didn't say anything, maybe the two of them are dating. If they offend Wujiang, they will definitely have nothing to eat.

"That's it..." Wujiang nodded.

In fact, even if she thought about it, she should know that this must be Lark's handwriting, but she really didn't expect that the other party would be so kind, and actually asked Cao Bi and the others to help clear the snow in front of her house.

It is a good thing that she has not encountered such a thing as "everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, regardless of the frost on others", but...

Wujiang suddenly realized that Yunque seemed to be helping him too much.

This doesn't match Hibari Kyouya's style—at least it doesn't match the style of Hibari Kyouya she knows—after all, "the lonely floating cloud" is not groundless.

If Hibari Kyouya had been so kind, he would not have become the strongest guardian of Vongola in that era, who could scare the enemy families.

At least at that time, in her family, there were many incompetent guys who would feel their feet go limp when they heard the name Hibari Kyoya, as if they were facing an enemy.

Fortunately, that too was in the past.

How Wujiang hopes to live a life with her head up as she did back then, so that it won't happen to her again.

"By the way, Shinagawa, are you going out?"

Looking at Wu Jiang's full armor, Cao Bi didn't think she heard something outside the house and ran out to watch.

"Well...that was originally planned, but it doesn't seem to be necessary now."

Wu Jiang smiled, since it was the order given by the chairman of the Disciplinary Committee, she was too embarrassed to refuse - at least she herself didn't want to sweep snow outside her house with a broom in the cold weather.

"By the way, if you don't dislike it, please bring some snacks back after cleaning, which can be regarded as a small expression of my gratitude."

Even if they came to help because of Skylark's order, it was an indisputable fact that they helped her solve a problem.

Wu Jiang didn't wait for Cao Bi to refuse, so he took the lead in bowing, said "see you later", and then returned to the room to start baking biscuits.

Anyway, they won't finish sweeping the snow so quickly, so it's better to seize the time than to argue with Cao Bi.

When Wujiang took out the baked biscuits in bags, the disciplinary committee members just finished their work.

"This..." Watching the other disciplinary committee members accept Wujiang's handmade biscuits without hesitation, Cao Bi looked at Wujiang standing in front of him, but broke out in a cold sweat.

They came to help Wujiang clear the snow because of Skylark's order, but they just accepted the biscuits she gave...

So are they still alive to start school?

"Don't worry," Wujiang smiled, "I'll send Senior Yunque's share to him later."

It's not that she doesn't know what Kusakabe is worried about, although she doesn't think Hibari will anger those discipline committee members because of this-after all, the relationship between him and her is not like the original Hibari Kyoya and Shinagawa Wujiang-now herself It wouldn't make Yunque so concerned about Shinagawa Kirie as she remembered.

but……

Cats want to be groomed.

This is the experience Wujiang has gained from raising cats for several months.

"In that case, the Chairman will trouble you, Shinagawa."

After Wujiang said so, Cao Bi couldn't continue to refuse, so he could only accept the baked biscuits handed over by the other party.

By the way, I pray that Wujiang can successfully appease... No, no, no, it's to persuade Yunque.

If not, Skylark shouldn't be too heavy-handed when the time comes.

After sending off the disciplinary committee member and others who came to help clear the snow, Wujiang came to his door with the biscuit from Skylark.According to Kusakabe, Hibari should be at home now.

Looking at the word "Skylark" on the house number, Wu Jiang couldn't help but lament that fate has tricked people.

When she first came to Bingsheng Town, seeing these two characters on the house number was like seeing a ghost, she avoided them like a snake and scorpion, and was afraid that she would have contact with Hibari Kyouya again in the next three years.

who would have thought...

Not only did she fail to hide from Skylark, but now she came to his house on her own initiative.

Wujiang just came to the door of Yunque's house, and before he rang the doorbell that was no different from the decoration, the door of Yunque's house opened automatically.

If it hadn't been for Cao Bi's sworn promise that Yunque would be at home now, Wujiang would only think that some supernatural event had happened.

...So, she had encountered this kind of thing before.

Once on a mission.

After seeing clearly the figure standing on the other side of the door, Wujiang bowed slightly with a slight smile.

"Good day, Senior Skylark."

Standard Japanese etiquette.

"Yeah." Seeing what Wujiang was holding in his hand, Skylark, who had seen the whole process from the window just now, just nodded, then turned and entered the room.

Holding the biscuits, Wujiang entered the house and closed the door carefully, took off his shoes, and followed in the footsteps of Skylark.

To be honest, this was the first time she had come to Skylark's house.

Whether it was then or now.

The layout of Hibari's house is not the kind of Japanese-style mansion she imagined—she would have this impression, perhaps because the place where that person lived was a standard Japanese room layout—and his black yukata .

But thinking about it now, the place she used to go to might just be one of that person's many temporary residences.

Not a home.

The layout of the place where Yunque lives now is somewhat similar to her house, with a living room and kitchen connected, and some furniture such as dining tables and sofas.

It was so similar that Wujiang didn't think it was just a coincidence.

Speaking of which, when she moved, she only brought her personal belongings with her. As for the furniture, they all existed in the house.

Moreover, the layout of the house was quite in line with her personal preferences, so Wujiang didn't make any changes.Furthermore, even if she wanted to change the position of those furniture, she couldn't move it by herself.

Then the Skylark family...

what's going on?

"By the way, I'm here to deliver biscuits."

She didn't ask Yunque what was going on, and Wujiang knew very well that even if she asked, Skylark would not answer herself.

"Thank you for asking those disciplinary committee members to help me sweep the snow, Senior Skylark."

Sitting on the small single-seater sofa, Wujiang put the biscuit in his hand in front of Skylark.

In fact, when he was at her house, Wujiang usually chose to sit beside Yunque, that is, on the couch with several seats, just like on New Year's Eve.

It's just that she is a guest now, and because she remembered those things in the past, she thinks it's not bad to keep a distance like this.

Skylark's help today may be a warning to Wujiang, making her realize that she has become intimate with Skylark again without knowing it.

But the more this happened, the more frightened Wujiang was.

She still can't let go of all the things in the past, even though she has now become Shinagawa Wujiang—the existence that made Jiang Wu jealous and envious, but this still can't erase everything that happened.

At least she can't go wrong like before.

Like Jiang Wu.

Kirie's mind, Hibari is not clear, even though he can be said to be the person who knows Shinagawa Kirie the best in the world, but what he understands is only what he knew before.

What he didn't know about Shinagawa Wujiang and Jiangwu in the past, he still doesn't know now.

It was only later that he realized that a large part of the reason for this was because Wu Jiang was too good at thinking wildly.

And the person who made Wujiang think wildly, after all, was himself.

Opening the packaging bag with her fingers, Skylark looked at the emerald-yellow biscuits baked inside, and suddenly remembered the things that the disciplinary committee members were holding in their hands when they left.

"I was the last to get it."

He raised his eyebrows, and said what should have been asked in interrogative sentences into declarative sentences.

The corner of Wujiang's mouth twitched, and he also understood that Yunque was making a fuss.

Maybe it's because I feel that I am ranked behind the disciplinary committee members.

she thinks.

Didn't realize that in a sense, Skylark's current behavior should be called jealousy.

"That's because the most important person should be at the end."

She smiled and said without thinking.

"And Senior Skylark is different from others."

Yunque is the chairman of the Disciplinary Committee, and he asked the Disciplinary Committee members to help her sweep the snow. After all, he should be the most important person, right?

However, the ones that were baked before were all sent out, and the ones that were baked by Skylark were made later, and the ordinary molds used before were not washed out, so the cookies that were baked by Skylark were different from other people's biscuits.

But other people's biscuits are put in bags, Skylark probably doesn't know, right?

It is true to say so, but when the skylark heard it in his ears, it had another meaning.

As for what it meant, only the chairman of the discipline committee knew it in his heart.

Anyway, after hearing Wujiang's explanation, Bing Shengzhong's uncrowned emperor's mood instantly improved a lot.

The slender fingers picked up a piece of biscuit from the bag. Although the small biscuit was pressed into the shape of a duck with a mold by the maker, the skylark was somewhat dissatisfied, but the fragrance of the biscuit still made the skylark suppress it. Feeling dissatisfied, he put it in his mouth.

Seeing that Skylark no longer pursued it, Wujiang didn't think about keeping a distance from Skylark anymore.

She only thought about one thing, and that was when the cat was in trouble, it really needed to be comforted by smoothing its fur.

The ancients never lied to me.

"Does it taste okay?"

Although Wujiang didn't dare to hope that she could hear too high evaluation from Lark's mouth - especially she didn't have much confidence in what she made this time, but she still hoped that the dessert she made would be affirmed by the other party.

One must know that what she is least good at is Western cuisine.

Of course, this naturally also includes West Point.

All Western cooking is the devil—she once said so after wrecking three ovens in the family kitchen.

Yunque also knows that Wujiang dislikes this the least and is not good at it. In fact, Wujiang has not made much progress in this aspect so far.The sweet and greasy taste spread in the mouth, which made Lark, who always prefers light food, just want to spit out the things in his mouth.

But after seeing the pair of emeralds with vague anticipation, Skylark still swallowed what was in his mouth.

"It is too sweet."

He said it in a matter-of-fact manner, and as he expected, he saw Wujiang's disappointed expression.

"Is that so..."

Wujiang also knows that Skylark generally doesn't like sweet things very much, and she can't force this future Yunshou to eat all the biscuits she made.

"Then throw it away."

She reached out to retrieve the bag of biscuits, but before her fingers touched the bag, someone grabbed her wrist.

"Since it was given to me, it is mine."

The phoenix eye met the emerald, and Skylark spoke truthfully under the astonished gaze of the other party.

"but……"

Wujiang frowned, but was interrupted by Skylark when he wanted to say something.

"Do you want to question my decision?" He showed the momentum of the chairman of the discipline committee, and said with a half-smile.

And what Wu Jiang fears the most is the other party's expression. It was because of Skylark's expression that she would bite the bullet and say that she had prepared a Christmas present. Now that she saw it again, she still had no resistance.

So she shrank her neck and shook her head.

"……No."

Seeing that Wujiang's hand tended to shrink back, Yunque didn't continue to hold her, but let go of her hand.

Although he knew that Wujiang would definitely slip away after letting go, but...

Just let her go this time.

There are still opportunities in the future.

Wujiang also lived up to Skylark's "expectation". After the imprisoned hand was freed, he immediately claimed that he still had something to do, and then left Skylark's house as if fleeing for his life.

What she didn't see was a familiar smile on the face of the person left behind.

That is the expression that the strongest guardian of Pengo Lie will have when facing the prey.
