Summer of Fireflies

There are fewer people going out in winter, and the cherry blossom trees on the roadside are so bare and depressed. Of course, when the New Year comes, I have to go home to celebrate the New Year. God knows how long I haven’t been home.

In the morning, my uncle and aunt wanted to pick me up at the airport, but I refused. It is so cold in Palermo, let alone in Japan.My uncle and aunt are both old people, and I don't want to see them rushing over to work on my affairs.

Therefore, Xiaochun was the only one who came to pick me up.

"Cousin Ying." A shoulder-length black-haired woman stood at the corner of the street. When she saw An An and me, she immediately ran towards us with a smile.

Panting with a flushed face, seeing a man standing beside me, Xiaochun seemed to be taken aback for a moment: "Hey, this is...?"

"You can ignore him." I hugged Xiaochun, the woman's warm body temperature carried a fragrance, I was very happy to see Xiaochun, and so was An An, but if I ignored a man who was following me, maybe my mood would be even worse Well maybe.

Xiaochun looked at me hesitantly, then at the lazy JOY, tentatively tentatively with an uncertain tone: "Is he, uh... cousin-in-law?"

"...Which eye of his looks like your cousin's husband?!" I lined black lines again and again.

JOY put his hands in his pockets, and his dull brown eyes squinted at Xiaochun and me: "Lisa, since someone is here to pick you up, I'm going to see my friends first."

The reason why JOY came back to Japan with me is that he came to Japan to see friends. Well, he has friends all over the world, so it’s not surprising to have a friend in Japan.I waved to JOY's back, took An'an's hand and walked towards home with Xiaochun.

My uncle and aunt's house is a typical small foreign-style building with three floors. When I got home, my aunt hugged me and almost burst into tears.

"Uncle and aunt, I'm back." I felt the warmth in my chest, and my eyes became hot.

"Well, it's good to be back, it's good to be back!" Uncle took off his glasses and wiped his eyes.I hugged my aunt and hugged my uncle.

No matter how long I stay outside, my real home is with my parents there.

So the whole morning after returning home, my aunt pulled me to ask me about my health, my uncle sat aside and listened, and An An sat on my aunt's lap and acted like a baby.

Most of what I said to my aunt was my daily life in Palermo. I told my aunt what happened in my life and what happened in the company.

It doesn't matter if you understand me or not.

Of course, you can't tell them everything about pulling homework.

For example, An'an disappeared, I was kidnapped, and I was killed on the island. I will never say it to increase their worries, including emotional matters.

I'm glad that I still have a cute son, and my aunt and uncle's attention was shifted to An An, so I was free to do my own things.

Most of the time, Xiaochun and I went to the road in Bingsheng Town together. Sometimes Xiaochun would bring Kyoko with me. Kyoko and I quickly became acquainted.

Jingzi is a very easy-going woman, always with a faint smile on her face, and there are many common topics for women to talk about when shopping.

So the three of us chatted while pressing the road, from cosmetics to food, and then from food to some funny Japanese manga. When the three of us were together, there seemed to be endless topics to talk about.

Originally, Kyoko was a very familiar person. There was only one older brother and no older sister in her family. After getting acquainted with each other, Kyoko also regarded me as her older sister. Occasionally, she would talk about her older brother Sasakawa Ryohei when we chatted. Later, I remembered the silver-haired young man I met in the Santa Maria Monastery, and realized that the silver-haired young man and Kyoko were actually brothers and sisters.

"Sister Lisa, Aunt Nana invited us to play at her house tomorrow, so you can come with us." Kyoko smiled at me with eyes full of expectation.

"Aunt Nana?" I was puzzled when I heard this name for the first time.

"Cousin will definitely like Aunt Nana." Xiaochun hugged my arm, "Aunt Nana's house is on that street, not far away. Cousin, have you forgotten? I told you before, when I was in middle school I often went to other people's houses and met many good friends...and Kyoko also met at that time."

Was it Aunt Nana who often took care of Xiaochun?When I was in high school, I heard Xiaochun talking about the weird people and things she encountered at Aunt Nana’s house. I had never met that elder before, and it was a rare opportunity to meet him. At least let me express my gratitude to the elder who often takes care of Xiaochun. It's okay to thank you, but Xiaochun and Jingzi couldn't help but smile when they saw that I finally nodded.

On the second day, I took An'an, Xiaochun, and Jingzi to buy gifts from years ago to visit Aunt Nana. When I saw the words "Sawada House" at the door, I suddenly had a very bad premonition. After I entered the door, it was fulfilled.

"Lanbo, don't run around!"

"Yeah, you idiot, you can't catch me!"

The woman who opened the door for us was a woman with long pink hair, holding a little baby in a black suit and a jazz hat in her arms. A small yellow pacifier was tied to his chest, and a little baby was lying on the brim of the hat. lizard see

Here we are, he lifted the brim of his hat in a gentlemanly manner, and greeted us in Italian that I am familiar with: "Ciaosu."

When he looked at An An and me with sharp eyes, the corner of his lips hooked meaningfully: "Is Xiaochun's cousin? Hello, I'm Reborn, that stupid tutor over there." Pointing a gun at the hall The brown-haired youth fired without hesitation.

The young man tilted his head and dodged: "Reborn, I told you not to shoot casually when you have your mother at home. What if you scare your mother... Lan Bo, come here, change your clothes obediently, and stop running around!" The young man with a helpless expression Come running towards us.

In addition to chasing the curly-haired kid in a cow costume, there are other people in the hall, for example, a Chinese girl named Yiping I have seen before, who looks cute with braids, and a gentle-faced one I don’t know Sufa boy.

The Chinese girl was teaching Sufa boy how to knit. When they saw Xiaochun and Jingzi, they raised their heads and called "Sister Jingzi" and "Sister Xiaochun" respectively. When their eyes fell on me and An An, the Chinese girl turned to me. Nodding his head, there was a hint of doubt on the face of the young man with Sufa.

... Is it really a group of weirdos? Let's not complain about "how can a black-hatted baby be someone else's tutor", I was still guessing the identity of the Sufa boy in my heart, but I didn't expect the curly-haired kid in the cow costume to jump into my arms , and kept sticking out his tongue at the brown-haired young man rushing towards this side: "Stupid gang, you can't catch me hehehe... I don't change clothes!"

Immediately afterwards, before I had time to react, the curly-haired child had already jumped on Xiaochun, she was standing right beside me, and then the sky spun, and a shadow pressed heavily towards me, probably, the young man wanted to catch the screaming The child of "Lanbo", Lanbo jumped into my arms, but the young man threw himself on me because he didn't have time to brake.

At that time, I was holding An An's hand, but in order not to hurt An An, I subconsciously pushed An An away when the young man rushed over.

"Aw, aw, aw, aw, ah, ah, ah, it really hurts when I hit my forehead against the wall, does it really hurt? !I touched my painful head and burst into tears.

"Yeah, I'm sorry... Eh—senpai?!" The young man pressing on me suddenly widened his eyes, and the bottom of his brown pupils was full of surprise.Seeing the liquid tears in my eye sockets, my surprised expression turned into helpless panic in an instant: "Sister, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." He hurriedly got up from me. Pull up and sit on the ground together.

"It's really swelling..." I felt a bulge on the back of my head, and suddenly felt extremely wronged, tears couldn't stop falling down, he stretched out his hand in a panic, and held me down with one hand He touched my cheek with his head and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes.

I blinked my eyes and was stunned for a moment, sad emotions welled up in my heart for a while, so my tear glands dropped even more fiercely, but I didn't cry out.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault...can you stop crying?" Seeing that my tears flowed even more fiercely, the young man completely panicked.

... I don't want to cry either, it's just that I can't control my own tear ducts, why don't you try to get hit by a corner and I'll see if it hurts? !

I glared at the young man with a distorted expression, trying to stand up on the ground, but when I raised my head, I was covered by a shadow. The young man's face quickly magnified in front of me. In the moment I was stunned, he had already held my cheek and kissed it I saw the corner of my left eye that was still weeping, and everyone, including me, was stunned.

My brain was blank, and before my sluggish brain could react, the young man suddenly pushed me away, causing me to fall back to the ground again.

"you……"

"I……"

I looked at each other for a second, then suddenly moved my eyes away for some reason, my tears stopped, but my whole face was hot, it's over... I suddenly remembered that we were still under the eyes of the public, so to speak Young man, he actually kissed the corner of my eye in full view, thinking about it like this makes me wish I could find a hole in the ground beside me and get into it.

Why do I forget the existence of other people when I see young people?I went to see the young man while feeling annoyed. The young man's face was as red as a cloud of fire. Under the eyes of others with unknown colors, the words of another strange woman saved the embarrassment of me and the young man in time.

"I heard in the kitchen
