After I divorced from chaos step

Chapter 30 Lies: This is a distant cousin

The most embarrassing thing in this world is that when you are hugged by another man at the door of your house, you happen to be bumped into by your husband who just came back from get off work.

In the last second, I was babbling and explaining some cooking matters to Tuosi. It is rare that he is willing to cook by himself. I am telling him my cooking skills.But the next second, he suddenly told me that there was a white hair in my hair.

For any woman, hair loss and gray hair are a formidable enemy, and I lowered my head subconsciously.

"No way, I'm only 25."

Then his head was pressed violently, and the person was hugged in his arms.

"I can't remember what you said. I can't remember many things." Tosi's voice was low and hoarse, as if he was about to cry, "Aren't you afraid that I will do bad things? Then just watch Me. Keep an eye on me so I won't do bad things, Yuan-chan."

"What are you crazy about?"

Tosi's memory is probably the best among human beings I have ever seen. A deck of playing cards can be distinguished according to the subtle traces on each card after only one look at it.

With such a terrible memory, his brain is excellent, how could he not remember the simple cooking steps that even my brain can remember?

"Let go, idiot—"

Then when I looked up, I met a pair of emerald green eyes.

My husband, Edogawa Ranbu, was looking at us quietly across the road.

The balloon in my hand was hit by Tuo Si, and I missed the thread. The balloon flew to the opposite side of the road, and was caught by the thread by random steps, so it didn't fly far.

The green balloon floated just above Ranbu's head.

He was holding a plastic bag in his hand, which seemed to be a snack bought by the shopping street when he was off work or a benefit from a detective agency.

I hastily pushed Tuo Si away, but then I realized that this action was too much to cover up, so I cursed in a low voice: "What the hell are you doing?"

A car passed between us and Ranpo, briefly blocking the view.After the car drove away, I saw that Ranbu's eyes were closed again, and he walked towards us with a balloon.

"Ranbu-san, welcome back from get off work."

I reached out to pick up the bag in his hand and found two cans of imported milk beer inside.

"Well, good evening, Qingxixi." He nodded at me and looked up at Tuo Si, "Who is this?"

I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel that I have seen Luanbu and Tuosi before.

The way the two of them looked at each other was too complicated, as if they were looking at long-lost opponents.

...Uh, I should be thinking too much.

Ranbu was just angry, just pure jealousy.

"He's mine." It's hard to say that he was my former boss. After all, it's a little unreasonable for an employee to be hugged by the boss. The only explanation that can calm Luanbu is that I have a "blood" relationship with Tuo Si, "a From far away, uncle."

"Uncle Yuanfang" Tuo Si twitched his mouth, then smiled and put his hand on my head and rubbed it twice: "My little niece gained weight after marriage, it seems that it is your credit."

"Cousin, this is my husband, Edogawa Ranpo."

Luanbu frowned: "Where are the relatives? We didn't invite them when we got married."

Tosi continued to smile politely: "My little niece called me, but I was busy with work at the time. Now that I'm back in China, I specially took the time to come and see you."

"Oh." Luanbu said indifferently, "That's really hard work for you."

He has never been very familiar with the world, except for my parents, he doesn't like to get in touch with other relatives.

I coughed lightly and said to Tuo Si: "Cousin, since you have already visited us, and it's getting late, you should hurry home by car."

Tuosi: "I still have to cook when I get home. My cousin is here today, having dinner with you. You won't be unwelcome, right?"

I:"……"

This uncle is really rude.

"You're not welcome." Ranbu resolutely refused, then grabbed my wrist, pushed open the courtyard door and walked in, "Qingxi, you're home."

For a moment, his gaze fell on [Qingxi] whose [Edogawa] had been cut off from the house number, but it was only for a moment.

I turned around and glanced at Tuo Si, who stood still and waved to me.

Snapped.

The green balloon hit the edge of the door when entering the door, shattered, and dropped small pieces of Forgive Green all over the floor.

Luanbu closed the door and picked up the fragments of the balloon one by one without saying a word.

Then he didn't talk to me and went straight to sorting the trash.

I tried to talk to him, but he had already turned on the TV, sat on the sofa, and watched today's cartoon "Duck Detective" with his back to me.

I gave up talking and went to the kitchen to start preparing dinner.

I was going to make vegetable salad, quinoa porridge, fried pork cutlets, and Ranpo’s favorite beef burger today, but I used those ingredients to make another pot of borscht.

...This is Ivan's favorite soup to cook.

In the extremely cold Siberia, strong wine and hot soup are indispensable.Due to physical reasons, Tuosi could not drink alcohol often, and Ivan liked to cook borscht for him in order to keep him warm.Later, Tosi asked me to do it, and Ivan never entered the kitchen again.

I am used to putting a lot of tomatoes to cook them into bright and beautiful colors. I cook a big pot, and the three of us sit by the fireplace and drink soup while discussing tomorrow's trip.

Tuo Si and I often have disagreements, and our faces are red when we argue. Ivan always pretends to be fair and just with the image of a brain-dead Tuo fan, but in fact he is partial to the southern hemisphere.

But every time at this time, Tosi would suddenly change his mind, and he would all favor me, and I would hum at Ivan in a particularly villainous manner, and the latter usually responded to me with big white eyes.

Loud and noisy is just a normal night.

I filled a small bowl of borscht soup, poured it into the sink, and said softly: "Ivan, although the foreign land is not the hometown, you should miss the taste of the food, but the things I make will never be as good as you want."

A handsome young man with long blue hair appeared in front of him.He is the second Russian man I have come into contact with, and the third member of the House of the Dead. We have been together for nearly ten years, and he has never praised me, not even the simplest compliment.

……It's in the past.

My Siberia is fine too.

The most carefree three-person era of my rat of the dead house is also good.

I used the remaining ingredients to make two small beef burgers for Ranbu, and then I took out the dishes one by one, and arranged the bowls, chopsticks and spoons.

There is a piece of sea urchin issued by the detective agency in the refrigerator, which is not very fresh. I cut two avocados and made a sea urchin with avocado.

Through the glass window, I saw Luan Bu with his head bowed, the brim of his hat pulled down, and a Rubik's cube in his hand, his posture had changed from half leaning to lying down.

Today's update of "Duck Detective" on TV has finished, and the final ending song is being played.

I walked over and asked with a smile: "Ranbu-sang, who is the murderer today?"

Luanbu's hand that was spinning the Rubik's Cube paused for a moment, and then the Rubik's Cube fell to the ground.

"Qingxi." He called me in a low voice.

He rarely calls me that.

Under normal circumstances, he calls me Qingxixi, and occasionally Mrs. Edogawa. When he is in a good mood or asks me for something, he even calls me my wife.

Once you call me Qingxi, you are basically in a bad mood.

But in the past six months, even Fukuzawa Yukichi said that Ranpo, who is sometimes difficult to control, has never gotten angry with me, not once.

"You lied to me. He's not your relation at all."

Luanbu raised his head, the brim of his hat pressed his bangs, the eyes under his bangs were like a quiet deep pool, as if he could see the bottom of a person's heart at a glance.

Tosi is my distant cousin, if he asks my parents for proof, it will be seen as a lie immediately.

Being witnessed by my husband being hugged by another man, I didn't explain to my husband that it wasn't my will, but cheating turned out to be my subconscious first reaction.

The purpose is to dispel Ranbu's suspicion and not to create conflicts in our relationship.

Because once there is a contradiction, cracks will appear in my peaceful life.

I am ashamed of myself for being selfish.

"Why didn't you tell me the truth?" Luanbu crossed his arms and said angrily, "You still lie to me? Don't I know about your relatives? I remember them all."

"Hey, I have a lot of relatives, do you remember them all?"

Dad doesn't have any relatives, but there are a lot of mother's relatives, three aunts and six wives, all of whom are relatives of Grandma Hanamaru.

Strange to say, it is said that Grandpa Otonaka, like her father, was alone without any relatives when she met Grandma Hanamaru.

This is also the reason why my father loves Ranpo so much. Ranpo also lost his parents early, and they have been like this for three generations.

"Remember, you have to bark during the Chinese New Year, or the lion mother will scold me."

The Chinese attach great importance to the customs of calling people and congratulating them during the New Year. Although almost all relatives in the family are in Japan, they still retain the Chinese festival customs.Luanbu didn't know how to call people at first, and he also resisted New Year's greetings, but was dragged away by my mother forcibly, and shouted one by one.

He was reluctant, but when he heard my mother ask me: "Qingxi, didn't you teach him? Don't you remember what I told you?"

Luanbu said hastily: "Qingxixi taught it, but I didn't remember it myself."

He protects me all the time... seems to like me very much.

I don't know why he defends me so much, or why he likes me so much.

Although we are married, we have only known each other for nine months, not even a year.

No one in the relatives is optimistic about this hasty marriage. They always like to complain about him behind his back, saying that he is childish, short, has no education, does not look serious at work, does not even have a sitting position, and only knows how to eat when he eats.

But what they don't know is that Luanbu bought me a lot of vodka that I like, and I can spend my salary as I like, and I often buy me gifts. When I am in a daze and don't eat, they will peel a prawn for me.

He is very nice to me.

That's why I value my current marriage so much.

"I'm sorry, Ranbu-san." I wanted to touch his shoulder, but he was still angry and shrank away, which made me feel empty.

"He was a friend I made when I was studying in Russia. Now he comes to Japan to work and doesn't know anyone, so he came to me—"

It is very difficult for a person to live in a strange country. I have studied in Russia and I know it.

"Hugs are just a greeting between Russians—"

Oops, it looks like I lied again, but I really don't know how to explain it.

"Really? Why didn't I know that Russia has this kind of etiquette?" Luanbu panicked, kicked his legs, got up from the sofa, and rushed into the room, "I won't eat dinner."

boom.

It was the sound of the door being closed.

The moment the door closed, there was a gust of cool wind.I took a look at the dishes on the table, and for a moment I lost my mind.

I have no appetite either.

I wanted to comfort Ranpo, but myself... To be honest, I was quite upset.

Tosi's words and deeds can never be predicted, and even now I am not sure whether he is really determined to be an ordinary person.Although Ivan died and was disassembled by me, he was not actually killed by me, and the cause of his death was also very strange.

Severing his limbs and crushing his vocal cords would not have killed him instantly.There is also the possibility of being pissed off by me, but it is very small, otherwise, he would have been pissed off by me [-] times in the past.

Who on earth killed him at that time?At that time, his body was very weak, and he was unable to perform supernatural powers... Is it the man with glasses?

Forget it, leave him alone.

"Ranpo-san, can you get angry again after dinner?" I knocked on the door, and Ranbu turned on the music, expressing that he didn't want to listen to me at all.

You even expressed your protest against me by skipping dinner, tsk.

I didn't insist anymore, sat at the dining table, and started to eat by myself.I also opened a bottle of vodka.

I drink hard liquor directly, and it is a kind of enjoyment to use it with meals.

I heard the door being gently opened behind me.From the reflection of the glass, I saw that the door was opened a crack, and I was walking around looking around.

I pretended not to see it and continued to bury my head in my meal.

He was also stubborn and couldn't bear it all the time. I guess he was starving.

After a while, he opened the door, I thought he surrendered to the food, but he circled in front of me and went to the bathroom with his clothes.

I glanced at the wall clock, and it was less than seven o'clock, and I started to take a shower.

But tonight I didn't hear the Duck Detective song that he sang every day from the bathroom.

When will this kid's anger go away?

I dragged my cheeks and thought about it. After a long time, I heard the sound of chaotic steps from inside.

"Qingxixi!"

It was a very anxious voice.

He called back to Qingxixi, and it seemed that his anger had dissipated—or something even worse had happened.

"coming."

I opened the door of the bathroom, and there was a rush of hot air.Luanbu was holding a toy duck in the bathtub, dejectedly: "The duck is silent."

"what?"

Ranpo likes to take a bath with me, but the bathtub is too small to fit two people, so he can only take a bath with a group of duck toys.

The eight duck toys were all bought for him by Fukuzawa Yukichi. There are small sharp beaks at the bottom that make sounds. When you press the duck's belly, you can make a duck call.

The duck in Ranbu's hand is Yaba, which usually makes the loudest sound when pressed, but when I took it and pressed it, it really didn't make any sound.

Luanbu muttered in a low voice: "Duck Ba has lost his voice."

"Don't worry, I'll take a look." I pulled out the sharp beak at the bottom of Yaba, and saw that there seemed to be something stuffed inside.

Pull it out and see that it is a note.It's still waterproof paper.

I unfold the note.

[My wife, let’s talk about QAQ, I’m so hungry]

"Ranbu-san, what are you?"

"Sterilization, I hate that Russian!"

He hugged me from behind, and through a thin summer dress, I could feel the damp heat from his body.

In front of him is a full length mirror.A childish person like Ranpo actually likes to install a full-length mirror in front of the bathtub.

Although it will be covered and blurred by water vapor, the general outline can still be seen.

I put one hand on the toy duck, and the beaked duck didn't make any sound.

The light was dimmed, the sweat dripping from the forehead of Luanbu dripped on my face, and my eyes were extremely focused.

He suddenly smiled, hugged me even tighter, all the water droplets all over my body rubbed on my clothes, and proudly said in my ear: "Qingxixi, you are like me, you are all wet , we're even."
