Mother died.

Rei Kane stood in front of the mirror, carefully checking her attire.

The kimono is straight, black, with three family crests, her long hair is rolled up, and she wears a folding fan. She is pure white and clean.

The Xiangdian money needs to be old banknotes, stuffed backwards into the envelope, in order to express the unprepared anxiety and bewilderment after hearing the news...

"My little pity is a monster."

Sitting in the car heading to the funeral, Rei Kano looked out the window, as if seeing her mother in memory.

After the awakening operation, mother stroked her head, her voice was gentle and she smiled: "Why did I give birth to something like you?"

The mottled memory was interrupted by the rapid sound of brakes. The driver in front first turned around and told her that she had hit someone, and then immediately opened the door and went down.

Hit someone?

Lu Yelian got out of the car, and saw a black-haired boy sitting on the ground puffed up.

He was holding a messenger bag in his arms, and a bicycle was lying beside him. Letters were scattered all over the floor. He looked like a little postman, and he was talking to the driver with full firepower.

"Damn it! Next is the green light, green light, I didn't violate the traffic rules, the responsibility is all on your side!"

The driver opened his mouth to retort, but the boy interrupted with a frown: "Damn uncle, I'm all focused on looking at the lady in the back seat, so I'm not looking at the traffic lights at all, right? It's just as annoying as a seagull!"

Then, the boy looked at her: "You are the boss of this guy!"

"I'll come back to you later to ask for compensation!"

Without giving Lu Yerean a chance to speak at all, the little postman quickly picked up a few letters, rode on a small bicycle and left, like a gust of wind.

The tail wind picked up the scattered letters on the ground, and Lu Yelian squatted down, picked up the envelopes, and then looked at the driver: "Someone find that child and take him to the hospital for examination."

She has to go to her mother's funeral, and now she will be late to catch up.

Because of the episode just now, when he returned to the car again, those interrupted memories no longer reappeared. Rei Kano rested against the car window for a while, and then arrived at the destination.

Mother's funeral was deserted, and she was the only one who came to express condolences.

The one who received her was her mother's former servant. Luye Lian followed her and walked forward. When passing by the small garden, there was a boy sitting on the swing.

About five or six years old, staring at her sideways.

Under the sun, his eyes were as deep brown as a kite's wings.

What mother is most proud of is her pair of kite eyes. She always presses her fingers on her forehead and says in a disappointed tone, "Why don't your eyes follow me?"

Luye Lian stopped in his tracks: "Who is that?"

"Oh, him."

The servant's tone was the contempt and dismissiveness she was familiar with, just like when she was a child.

"It's the child that Miss gave birth to later."

The child that the mother later gave birth to?

Because of elopement, the family has severed ties with the mother, so the mother wrote to her, asking her to take her back to Kyoto.Even such a person, in the end, still wants to return to the roots.

The letter was eight pages long, and even the material of the tombstone was arranged, but there was no mention of the half-brother.

If you look carefully, it is clearly only the beginning of April, and the weather has not yet warmed up, but my brother is only wearing thin black clothes.

He raised his hand to grab the hemp rope of the swing, and his wide cuffs hung down, revealing the dense scars on his wrists.

He was clearly pitiful, but there was no trace of cowardice on his face, his back was straight, his sitting posture was upright, and he had a posture of enjoying the spring comfortably.

At this moment, Luye Rei seemed to see her former self.

The servant next to him took a few steps, and seeing Lu Yeren standing still, he frowned and urged.

The servants around her mother are always so arrogant, Lu Yelian looked back and smiled slightly: "Please wait a moment."

She avoided the wild flowers growing on the stone and walked to the front of the swing.

The younger brother looked up at her: "Lu Yelian?"

"Yes."

Looking closer, he looked even thinner, and Lu Yelian bent down to look at him: "What do you want for lunch?"

"Crab."

**

The mother's request was cumbersome and demanding, and the servant was very eloquent. Lu Yerean brought a small shawl and put it on his brother to prevent him from being disturbed by the cold wind.

The boy was obviously not used to the smell of strangers, so he took it off again in a blink of an eye.

Lu Yelian glanced at him, took back the small shawl and folded it carefully.

"Let's discuss the rest with my assistant."

She bowed her head and apologized to the servant: "Excuse me first."

Compared with the typeface to be engraved on the inscription, the brother's lunch is more important.

He followed her with light steps, like a kitten tentatively touching the world, with vigilance in his iris-colored eyes.

Walking to the door, the little postman was waiting outside.

He handed her a piece of paper.

Lu Yelian looked down, it was a handwritten compensation.

The child's name was Edogawa Ranpo. In addition to the name, there was also the history of the car accident written on it. Apart from that, there were only two blank boxes for the compensation and the responsible party.

"As I said, I will come to you to ask for compensation..."

His voice was bright and lively, he didn't seem to come to collect debts, but rather came to visit friends.

Shikano wanted to laugh a little, she didn't ask the little postman how he found it, she just took out a pen from the collar of the kimono, signed her name, and returned the pen and paper to him.

"If it is not stamped with my personal seal, this piece of paper will have no legal effect. Before that, would you like to go to the hospital for an examination?"

The little postman stuffed the pen and paper into the bag: "But I'm so hungry."

**

It's not easy to get crabs at this time of year, especially when the other one is still blah blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Fortunately, Yokohama is a port city, and the Gojo family also has several restaurants, which are enough to meet the requirements of two children at the same time.

The first course was a creamy crab bisque at just the right temperature.

The younger brother's demeanor is very correct, and the one on the right is more natural, probably because he likes it and wants to pick up the bowl to drink.

Lu Yelian pressed his hand lightly: "The bowl is very hot."

Edogawa was stunned for a while, and touched it with his fingers, it was really hot.

"But in such an expensive store, shouldn't they use insulated bowls? It's been a long time since I've eaten something warm, and this is the first time I've come to this kind of store."

Edogawa Ranpo looked at the general carefully for a while: "But the uncle came to work just after he came out of the custom shop, and it didn't affect the taste of the food at all. It's amazing!"

Custom shop...don't say this in front of Mr. Lian!

The general's face turned pale in an instant, he shouldn't be fired, right?

If the young master of the Chanyuan family knew that he made soup for Mr. Lian with the hand that just touched the customs girl, would his hand be chopped off?Will it?

Seeing the general's appearance, Edogawa Ranpo knew that he was going to be scolded again.

But he was obviously just telling the truth!

Edogawa Ranpo puffed up his face, ready to fight.

At this moment, the girl next to her smiled slightly: "It's amazing."

Her tone was like lingering waves, gentle and gentle, and the impetuous atmosphere became peaceful in this way, the general's face also turned from white to red, and he took out his willow knife to cook seriously.

so amazing!

As if by magic!

Edogawa turned his head to look at her in disorder.

There was always such a gentle and pleasant smile on her face, it seemed that nothing would make this smile disappear.

Don't ask questions about things that are obvious at a glance; don't ask him to keep explaining things that everyone knows like a fool; Furious.

This is the grown-up, right? Unlike those grown-ups who would yell at him, the older sister in front of him is the real grown-up.

Adults like mom and dad.

"Can I follow you?"

She looked over again, her pink eyes curved: "Why did Mr. Xiao say such a thing?"

"In exchange for my compensation, I've had enough of those weird adults. You know, I got fired just because I helped a client throw away useless junk mail!"

Edogawa puffed up his cheeks in disorder: "It's unbelievable, isn't it! There are such things in the world! Sometimes I wonder if they are the idiots in the legend."

She didn't say yes or no, but after eating, she took him to the hospital, and then brought them back to the hotel where she lived.

The two children were not well dressed, and before returning, Lu Yelian had asked someone to buy a lot of clothes and send them to the hotel.

Edogawa Ranpo was very interested in British-style clothes, but he didn't dare to touch them too much because of the dust on his hands.

The eyes are round and round, bright and bright blue, staring at the clothes in her hands turning, like a wet puppy.

Lu Yelian picked his favorite suit, folded the clothes and put them in the bathroom, and prepared towels for him. When he came out, his brother was still standing there.

He stood in the middle of the shopping bag, his face expressionless, as if he was surrounded by a pile of garbage.

"Let's make do with it for a while."

Lu Yerei gently tore off his cuff to cover the scar on it.

"I'll take you to tailor new clothes when I get back to Kyoto."

Only then did a little light ignite in his iris-colored eyes: "Do you want to take me away?"

Rei Kano took out some clothes from the shopping bag. His younger brother was much thinner than ordinary children. He looked about five years old, but judging by his words and deeds, he might actually be older.

"Although Kyoto is an inland city, the crabs there are not inferior to anywhere else."

The boy was silent for a while: "Won't your other family members have any objections?"

"I have no other family."

Lu Yelian folded the clothes, and said calmly and softly, "You are the only one in my world."

only one.

The boy got into the chair like a cat curled up under a wheel on a winter night.

"I don't want to take a shower."

Lu Yerei didn't preach, just picked up a small blanket and covered him.

The younger brother glanced at the light blue blanket, poked his head out: "Osamu Dazai."

He pressed his lips tightly, grasping the sense of distance between the two: "You can call me Dazai."

What responded to him was a warm water bag and a similar self-introduction: "Rei Luye, you can call me whatever you want."

Soon, Edogawa ran out of the bathroom door.

"Does it look good? Does it look good?"

The wet hair was shaken wantonly by him, and water was sprinkled all over the floor. Luye found the hair dryer and took him to sit down.

With the warm wind blowing on his head, Edogawa Ranpo narrowed his eyes: "It's so comfortable!"

Osamu Dazai, who was curled up on the chair, glanced at him and shrunk himself even tighter.

After a while, Lu Yelian turned off the hair dryer, passed the comb over, and asked softly, "Do you have any other family members?"

"No."

Edogawa combed his hair randomly: "I have no relatives or friends, no job, no money, and no place to stay overnight. If you lose me, maybe I will die immediately."

He looked at her and said confidently, "Can you bear it?"
