The whole world is throwing the blame for me

A flower was embroidered on the corner of the clothes when the chestnut blossoms fell to silver.

——Pink, five petals, blooming pretty.

She also stayed there for a while after she finished embroidering. She was just mending clothes as usual, but she was in a trance for a while, and when she came to her senses, she had already embroidered halfway.Originally, it would be enough to dismantle it at this time, but in the end, with the idea of ​​"embroidering half of it is worse than finishing it", I embroidered everything by accident.When I finally realized it, I even finished embroidering the leaves.

"The craftsmanship of chestnuts is very good." Songyang, who was reading next to him, came over and gave a pertinent evaluation.

Li Hualuo sighed.

Resigned to her fate, she unraveled the thread, looked at the pinholes left on it, changed the color, and re-embroidered a piece of auspicious clouds.

The blue and white auspicious cloud patterns spread out on the corner of the clothes with smooth curls.

On the contrary, Silver likes it very much.

"As long as you like it." Li Hualuo suppressed her guilty conscience and said lightly, "Next time I will help you embroider other clothes."

"Is there only silver sauce?"

"Only you have it." She smiled, "Not even Songyang."

The child blinked and blinked, and on the face that had finally been raised a little flesh, there was an inexplicable complacency.

Songyang put down the book in his hand.

"Is Jinsuke here yet?"

"No." Li Hualuo replied, "I haven't been here for two days."

On the way Yoshida Matsuyo sent him back that day, he met the servants of Takasugi's family. After those people thanked Takasugi politely and indifferently, they took Takasugi Shinsuke away - after that Takasugi never came to the private school again.

"I gonna go see."

While talking, Songyang put on a haori and went straight out the door.

Li Hualuo, who was left in the private school, reeled up the used thread, inserted the needle back into the thread reel, and poked Yinshi's face: "Hurry up and take out the spare quilt from the cabinet and spread it." She let out a cry Laughing, he patted his clothes and stood up, "I'm going to prepare supper."

Yinshi looked at the direction Songyang was leaving, and then at Lihualuo, his face full of bewilderment.

The rice has been eaten, Li Hualuo thought for a while, lit up the fire, and simply cooked a bowl of noodles.The whole egg is beaten into the boiling soup. The transparent egg white is solidified into pure white like milk, and the round egg yolk in the middle is in a semi-solidified state. Viscous liquid can flow out with a slight poke of chopsticks.When I got out of the pot, I threw it down and boiled the vegetables together, and put them in a bowl, which is not ugly.

Yinshi clumsily spread out the quilt that was bigger than himself, and Li Hualuo came out with the noodles, and he leaned over to watch eagerly, lying on the edge of the table, his eyes showed the desire to eat.Li Hualuo poked his forehead amusedly: "I left a bowl in the kitchen and brought it out by myself."

The child ran in quickly and came out with a small bowl.The way he was holding the bowl was wrong, and he refused to let go of his hand even though he was screaming loudly after being scalded. He stubbornly put it on the table, and then tearfully pinched the cold earlobe with his fingertips that were burned.

Sucking noodles with chopsticks, Yinshi finished half a bowl before Songyang came back from the outside.

He carried Shinsuke Takasugi on his back.

"excuse me."

Takasugi Shinsuke got off Matsuyo's back and greeted him politely.This child was a completely different type from Yinshi, although his face was pale as if he would lose his footing at any moment, his blue eyes still shone with wolf-like stubbornness.

"Thank you." Li Hualuo smiled, pretending not to see the bruises on the child's face, "I made supper, let's eat together."

"The quilts are all ready. Is it okay for Jinzhu and Yinshi to sleep together?" Li Hualuo asked with a smile, "If you want to have your own room, you need to tidy it up tomorrow. Let's make it today."

"It's ok."

Takasugi Shinsuke gave a blunt answer, choked up like an illusion after swallowing, holding the chopsticks, almost buried his face in the bowl.

Yinshi slowly finished the last mouthful of noodles in his bowl, before he said, "Let me tell you first, if this guy snores at night, Yinjiang won't be merciful."

Takasugi Shinsuke just stayed in the private school. A few days later, after seeking Shoyang's consent, Katsura Kotaro also moved here with big bags and small bags.

The three children sleep in one bedroom, and sometimes they can be heard far away in Lihualuo. If they can't calm down for a long time, then Songyang can't bear it anymore and walks over to clean up their movements.

So she could roll up the quilt and sleep peacefully.

In summer, what is more annoying than the hot sun is the chirping of cicadas on the trees.One after another, endless, layer upon layer like ocean waves, pushing up even bigger waves.

Li Hualuo looked at the newspaper in her hand, and walked slowly towards the private school.

"Ahhh, can you go faster—!" Yin Shi, who was in charge of carrying things, looked at her leisurely look, and finally couldn't help but explode.

Thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys are the time to absorb nutrition and grow taller rapidly.It was as if yesterday she could be easily hugged and lifted up by Li Hualuo, but now she is only half a head shorter than her, and her immature eyebrows and eyes have transformed into a slightly green appearance, which is also somewhat tall and handsome.

"Damn it, why does Silver Sauce insist on going shopping with you? I also want to stay in a private school and read comics comfortably."

"Isn't it because you lost with Jinsuke and Kotaro rock-paper-scissors?"

Li Hualuo glanced at him with a half-smile, then lowered her head and continued to read the newspaper.

"Didn't Songyang say not to read books and newspapers under the sun?"

"it's okay."

Li Hualuo answered casually.

The war is not over yet, and they are waiting for a subtle opportunity, and the village they live in is far away from the turmoil of the battlefield, and it is as quiet as a paradise.

Lihua fell two years ago, and finally realized where she made a mistake—the battlefield she saw was not a fight between countries, but a higher civilization from the universe, launching an attack on the planet they were on. crushing conquest.

Terrible.

she thinks.

But sometimes I feel that I have made a mistake.Obviously, this world is not a love comedy in ancient society. If it is a serious war script, then her position...

Forget it.

There is no need to think about it, at least the people in power in this country have not put up any decent resistance yet.Most of the people who will really fight against heaven and man on the battlefield are people with lofty ideals organized by the people themselves.

"Yinshi." Li Hualuo thought for a while, then turned to ask the young man beside him, "Do you think Songyang looks like someone who went to the battlefield?"

"Huh? What strange words are you talking about?" Sakata Gintoki curled his lips, his eyes wandering, "That guy Songyang, although his strength is very strong, it doesn't look like he's going to kill people at all."

"……makes sense."

Li Hualuo sighed inwardly.

——Then she found the wrong person again, the guys in the technical department are just unreliable.

——It’s really hopeless.

When the two of them returned to the private school, Gui was standing at the door talking to someone. When he got closer, he realized that it was the son of the owner of the village grocery store, Yamamoto.That is, the one who helped Songyang and the others move their things up when they decided to live here.

"Little Taro, did you send another letter?" Li Hualuo asked.

"Ah."

"Ah, Miss Lizi, good afternoon." The man smiled awkwardly at Li Hualuo, and handed over the letter in his hand, "This is today's letter."

This year, many older children in the private school went out for a trip, and occasionally sent letters back, telling about things they encountered on the road.

Everyone's letters in the village are sent to the grocery store uniformly, and then the recipients are notified to pick them up.However, Yamamoto always said that there might be something urgent about the letter from the private school, so he would take the trouble to help deliver it as soon as he got a letter.

"It's really troublesome for you." Li Hualuo smiled at him, not noticing the dissatisfied expression of Yin Shi behind him.

Why is this guy still here?Gintoki winked at Gui and issued a strong condemnation.

He must wait for Chestnut to come back.Gui shook his head sadly towards Yin.

"The letter has been handed over to Miss Lizi, so I'll go back first." The young man paused for a while after saying this, then he muttered, his face flushed suddenly and he continued, "I mean... that... if Miss Lizi Tomorrow there is, there is—”

"Ah—father Yamamoto seems to be calling you! Wig, right?" Gintoki interrupted suddenly, pressing the young man's shoulder and pushing him in the opposite direction, "It's not okay to leave the old man at home alone, It would be bad if you miscalculated, right wig!"

"It's not a wig, it's Gui." The handsome ponytail boy retorted with a serious face.

"...Silver time???"

"Lizi Songyang said that he wants to eat plum rice balls soaked in strawberry milk at noon, hurry up and prepare!" Yinshi stuffed the things in Li Hualuo's arms, and half forcedly ran out with Yamamoto.

"—Songyang wouldn't want to eat that weird thing, would he?"

Li Hualuo was dumbfounded.

She turned her head to look at Gui, but the boy nodded, very calmly: "The teacher said."

"...?????"

Wrapped in plums, the white rice balls, pinched into perfect triangles and covered with rectangles of nori, would look delicious—if the little bowls in which they were served didn’t have pink milk in them.

"..."

"..."

Gintoki's hand holding the bowl was shaking, and he was crying bitterly for the strawberry milk.But I can't say anything after the request I put forward is fully satisfied, the only remaining problem is——

"Why is it normal for only you and Songyang to eat???"

"Isn't this what you asked for at Yinshi?" Li Hualuo asked in confusion, "Songyang said he never said he wanted to eat this."

Song Yang himself, who was mentioned next to him, let out a long and heavy sigh. Obviously, he tried to stop Li Hualuo's inhumane behavior, but he failed.

"Stop pretending! And you actually soaked the rice balls in strawberry milk before serving them?! Isn't it too weird?!" Yin Shi jumped up.

"Stop talking, Yinshi." Gui's expression was very calm, "What a man says must be practiced perfectly."

"—Then don't pour me the milk in your bowl???"

"But Yinshi, don't you usually like to drink strawberry milk the most?"

"Who would want strawberry milk contaminated with plum rice balls?!"

"Too stupid."

Looking at the strawberry milk-soaked plum rice ball in front of him, the only innocent victim, Takasugi Shinsuke, said with a blank expression.

"It's so stupid that I can't see it."
