Not too many out of four

Since when did it change?

Thinking that she is no longer just an ordinary adoptee, no longer simply a weak companion who needs to be taken care of, and even the meaning of her existence in life began to change, and gradually found that she could be treated as a woman.

Soft and harmless, gentle and kind, with the warmth and characteristics of a unique home that attracts people like him.

In fact, Zhong Yuanzhong is not really a person who is insensitive to feelings, he just hasn't thought about it, and he thinks that there is nothing wrong with them living together like a family.

He can protect her, take care of her, and it doesn't matter if he keeps her under his wings for a lifetime and never grows up.

As long as she is as happy as she is every day now, and she can smile comfortably.

Didn't Yusaku Kudo set a good example for this?He carefully cared for his lover's heart, kept her lively and energetic for 20 years, and kept her girlish heart never fading.

Zhongyuan Zhong also has no doubt that he can do it, he has such strength and confidence.

But all this is based on the fact that he regards Li Jia as a family member, a timid and lovely younger sister, a gentle and kind breeder, and even a gentle and beautiful "sister".

He never thought that he could look at her from another angle.

Think of her as a woman you can like, pursue, and even spend your life with.

It's not that Lijia is not excellent, beautiful, or worthy of likability...

It's that he's looked up to her for too long.

From the cat's point of view, he always looks up at Li Jia. He knows her as "sister" and "master". She can easily hold him in her arms and whisper softly, and caress him over and over again. There is no need to take into account the difference between men and women in their fur, after all, cats and humans are different species.

But back to the original perspective, he needs to lower his head to meet those bright blue eyes, listen to her with all his attention so as not to miss every word, hugging and holding hands are no longer their free and unscrupulous behaviors.

Humans and cats are fundamentally different. Li Jia hugs and interacts with cats intimately. When doing the same behavior as a human being, it would be rubbing hands and necks. This is a completely different feeling.

But he had never thought about this issue before, nor did he feel that the relationship between them might deteriorate, but...

"People's hearts are changeable, this sentence turns out to be true." It's just that his change is not cold and alienated, but more fiery, silent and turbulent.

Gloves with high-quality texture, soft leather surface and shiny black wrapped his slender and well-knit hands. Zhongyuan Zhong also sent Li Jia back to the room and returned to the kitchen. There are some water stains and light and small half lip marks.

It was the orange-flavored lip balm that Lijia put on before going to bed. It was used to moisturize the lips to prevent dryness and peeling. With the moisturizing oil paste, it was lightly traced and applied to the lips, and the soft corners of the lips were slightly pursed and rubbed. There was a soft sound.

Press your fingertips on your lips to rub off excess oil, smooth it gently, then put down the mirror, turn the paste back into the tube, and store it in a small drawer beside the bed.

With the sweet orange fragrance, she rubbed against the soft pillow lovingly, and inadvertently printed her lips on the pillow to leave a light fragrance.

The green and tender flower quietly stretches its beauty, and she blooms a little bit to reveal her own fragrance, which makes the monsters guarding the flower feel excited and want to pick it up.

Obviously at first he stayed and guarded silently to repay the inadvertent help when the flowers stretched their branches and leaves, but after staring at the timid and beautiful flowers for a long time, the monster's feelings changed unconsciously.

His state of mind began to change. The monster, who would be satisfied just by watching her bloom smoothly and exude a charming fragrance from a distance, began to want this beautiful flower that has not yet fully bloomed.

Longing for closeness but afraid of being hurt, he was unwilling to coax her into falling into his arms before the flowers fully bloomed, but he couldn't be reconciled to letting him watch quietly.

After all, compared to adult monsters like him, little monsters who are about Huahua's age and don't know how to disguise themselves may be more pleasing to her.

After falling in love with someone, he naturally found other teenagers who were also in love with her.

It's also "Central Plains Chuya", but more youthful and childish, with aggressiveness and arrogance, never thinking that the timid and shy passionate love silently surrounds the girl he likes.

Long before him, "Zhongye" had already fallen in love with Li Jia, and "Zhongye-jun" also had a strong liking for her but he hadn't realized his own liking. Only then did Zhongye realize how blind his eyes were before.

It's so obvious, it's not about caring for family members, not about caring and protecting younger sisters, but about the involuntary gaze and strong desire to protect the girls you like.

The person who knows "Central Plains Zhongye" best is Zhongyuan Zhongye.

He knows what it will be like when he protects his weak companions, and he can naturally see that "Mr. Zhongye" and "Zhongye" care too much about Li Jia and are always involuntarily attracted to Li Jia.

"Should it be said that Zhong Yuanzhong will always be attracted by the same people?" He lowered his head and covered his lips to the lip marks, slowly muttering: "Or is it that we are destined to fall in love with her?"

No matter what period "Central Plains Chuya" will eventually be attracted by her, deeply fascinated by her, sinking into that soft and soft voice and shy and gentle smile.

……

"Ah, there are huge bamboo shoots here!" Li Jia pointed forward, looked at him excitedly, and said, "Brother Zhongye, let's dig that bamboo shoot."

The tall bamboo shoots are wrapped in layers, with a little fresh green emerging from the tips.

"This has already begun to change to bamboo." Zhongyuan Zhong also shook his head, bent his fingers and tapped the hard outer shell, and said, "Probably there are not many places to eat, and the taste is not as good as fresh and tender bamboo shoots. Let's try again." Find something else."

Bamboo shoots need to peel off the protective shell layer by layer, and eat the fresh and tender core inside. This kind of bamboo shoots with high lignification has passed the best period of digging, so it is better to let it stay here and continue to grow into bamboo.

Li Jia seemed to understand and nodded, followed him to continue searching for fresh spring bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest, and asked curiously: "Isn't Brother Zhongye digging bamboo shoots for the first time?"

"No, this is my first time." Zhong Yuan Zhong also shook his head frankly, and said with a smile, "Didn't I just use a hoe and a shovel?"

The little girl showed an expression of amazement, her blue eyes were shining brightly, filled with admiration as transparent and beautiful as stars and waves, and she said, "It's so amazing, I didn't even know it."

It was obviously the first time they went out to dig bamboo shoots, but Nakahara Chuya and the others seemed to be much more proficient than her, and even knew a lot of things that she didn't know.

Zhong Yuan Zhong also laughed and rubbed her head, saying: "We did our homework before going out."

After all, it is going to an unfamiliar place to try things that have never been tried before. You must first understand everything clearly, find out the Taketori Garden, its activities and the identity of the old couple.

The method of digging bamboo shoots is also checked on the Internet. If you know the general method, you can try it out. It is not a big deal.

"Do you all have them?" Li Jia opened her mouth, unable to hide her disappointment, and said, "Then why didn't you bring me?"

Are they still a family?Why did you secretly leave her behind?

She didn't get a few days of experience papers for Zhutoriyuan, and they must have done their homework secretly and without telling her these days.

"Didn't you hit your head?" Zhongyuan Zhong also lifted her forehead hair, and put his finger on the slightly swollen bulge on the smooth forehead, and joked with a smile: "Isn't it necessary to rest more and save energy when you hit your head? Isn't it good to teach you after learning?"

In fact, the reason is not only because of this.

"Zhongye" wants to learn it first, so that he can show it in front of Li Jia. "Mr. Zhongye" wants to dig more spring bamboo shoots diligently, and get her praise. "Mr. Zhongye" still can't understand...

But in his words, he did have the same thoughts as those two brats.

No matter how mature a man is, he can't refuse the adoring eyes of the little girl he likes. This can be regarded as a little trick among the "Central Plains Chuya".

"Well, that's right." She pursed her lips in confusion, and when she was thinking, she would unconsciously lick away the grease and paste on her lips and eat them. She pursed her dry lips and muttered: "But next time Can't you leave me anymore?"

She raised her eyebrows and looked over, humming softly: "It feels lonely to be excluded."

Uncontrollably, his gaze fell on her glistening lips, Zhong Yuanzhong also covered his lips and turned his head, and said in a muffled voice, "Got it, I will tell you next time."

After getting the guarantee from Zhongye Zhongye, she became happy. She pursed her lips in a cute and well-behaved arc, and said, "Then let's talk about it? Even if Mr. Zhongye and the others don't tell me, Brother Zhongye will tell me."

It is too much to exclude her from a family of five.

He looked down at the upturned little finger, bit the fingertip of the glove and tore it off, hooked her little finger tightly and fastened it tightly, and said in a low voice: "Well, I promise you."

If the hook is hanged, the liar will have to swallow a thousand needles.

"Brother Zhongye?" Li Jia shrank her hands, her little finger was still tightly hooked by him, and asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

The hook is just for the sense of ceremony, and there is no need to hook the little finger all the time.

"It's nothing." He retracted his hand with a smile, put the gloves he took off into his pocket, and changed the subject: "It's just that Li Jia doesn't seem to wear jewelry very much, except for the tracking necklace given by the doctor, she usually doesn't wear other jewelry. "

Don't ordinary girls wear a lot of necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings?

He seemed to have never seen that kind of thing in Li Jia's room. Even the hairpins were ordinary fruit hairpins, and the slightly fancy cat ear hairpins were brought back by her on the cat day last year, and she has never worn them since.

"For jewellery, don't issuing cards count?" She rested her chin, thought about his question, and replied, "If it's something like rings and bracelets, it will get in the way when doing housework and needs to be taken off."

And she usually takes it off and forgets to bring it back.

"I know the bracelet will hurt my hand, but so will the ring?" Isn't the ring just worn on the finger and never taken off?

Li Jia condensed his expression and said seriously: "Silver jewelry will oxidize and needs frequent maintenance, which feels very troublesome."

Because it was too troublesome, the possibility of wearing jewelry was eliminated from the beginning.

"Then," Zhongyuan Zhongye's voice paused, he squatted down and loosened the soil with a small shovel, and pulled it aside little by little, "Would you be afraid of trouble for the wedding ring in the future?"

"As for the wedding ring..." Li Jia helped to dig the soil, lost in thought, and said, "Probably not possible? Even if it's troublesome, you have to wear it all the time."

It will be troublesome if you take it off and lose it.

Zhong Yuanzhong also breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's good, I'm afraid you won't even bother with the wedding ring."

"How could it be!" She puffed up her face slightly, and seriously retorted: "If you are willing to get married and wear a ring, you must be someone you like very much. For the person you like, this difficulty can still be overcome."

It's just that she doesn't want to wear such troublesome jewelry now.

He responded thoughtfully, tapped the bottom of the bamboo shoot with a small shovel, easily broke it off along the cracked place, and said, "What about the ordinary ring?"

"Ordinary ring?" Li Jia took the bamboo shoots and put them in the basket behind him, hesitantly said: "I have higher requirements for rings."

If ordinary jewelry is not good-looking, she will not have the desire to buy it, let alone wear it on her hand all the time.

"I prefer cute rings, such as cats, foxes, and owls." The kind of formal or thick rings are completely out of her aesthetic range.

"...a lovely ring," Nakahara Nakaya had never paid attention to rings before, and he never thought about getting married, so he would not pay attention to rings, no matter if it was an ordinary style or a wedding ring style, he followed up and asked: "Is there really such a ring?"

Li Jia nodded naturally, picked up the bamboo leaves on the ground, flexibly folded and twisted her fingers a few times, and said, "There are many rings like this with cat heads and fox heads, but I can't wear them on the shopping street."

"Can't you put it on?" He raised his eyebrows in surprise, and said, "Are those rings made for brats?"

Li Jia shook her head, and handed the folded ring with two small triangular bamboo leaves shaped like cat ears to Zhongyuan Zhongye, saying: "The ring is too big, and it won't get stuck unless you wear your thumb."

But isn't it weird that she's a 16-year-old high school student wearing a ring on her thumb?

It's not a rich man like the president or chairman of the board. It's too strange to wear a cat head ring on his thumb.

Zhong Yuanzhong also held the fragile and light bamboo leaf ring, carefully put it in the pocket of his coat, and muttered to himself: "The size of your finger needs to be custom-made to measure."

"What?" Li Jia tilted her head in doubt, she didn't hear what he said just now, "Brother Zhongye, won't you try the ring?"

"Can you try?" He asked a little flattered.

Li Jia lowered her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Is there anything you can't try, and it's not expensive, it's just a small toy made of bamboo leaves."

Zhong Yuanzhong also took out the ring from his pocket again, and when he heard her words, he couldn't help but open his eyes and asked, "Have you given such small toys to many people before?"

Although it's just a ring made of bamboo leaves, but it's given away everywhere...

"No," she shook her head innocently, and said in a nostalgic tone: "I only gave it to my mother and teachers at school, and I can also weave pagodas, roses and butterflies out of bamboo leaves, all of which were taught by our primary school teachers." .”

He stared at her blankly, and asked in a low voice, "Li Jia, have you ever thought about going back to Aichi County?"

Go back and see where she grew up.

Lan Yingying's eyes blinked a few times, she lowered her eyes and stood up on her knees, saying: "Yes, it's time to find time to go back."

"I'm sorry, I," he frowned, his raised lips slowly fell down and straightened, and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to go back."

Zhong Yuanzhong didn't know if he said something wrong, but he felt that Li Jia's expression was a little different from usual.

Aichi County is the place where her mother died, but they have not seen Li Jia back to Kudou house for a year, although this is also the reason why she is always hospitalized and sick, but Li Jia will never let go if she wants to go back Opportunity.

"No, I want to go back. I have one more thing to do." She put her hands behind her back and let out a long breath.

Looking up at the sky in the bamboo forest where the wind blows through the bamboo leaves and making the sound of rubbing, the clear blue sky is covered by tall bamboos above them, making it look like only a small piece. She used to look up at the sky like a frog in a well.

You can't see the vastness and beauty of the sky, you can only see the size in front of you.

Trapped at the bottom of the well all the time, ignorant and never thinking about leaving.

She smiled and said firmly: "I will go back to Aichi County and bring my mother back."
