At dusk, soft lights came out from the window sill of Hayakawa's house. Mrs. Hayakawa was busy in the kitchen, and Hayakawa Aida, who had small arms and legs, was propping up the coffee table and chatting. Imprints were left on the canvas, and even a few strokes of color were added to his clothes.

The aroma of food in the kitchen floated slowly along the ceiling, he smacked his lips, and then sat down on the soft sofa in a daze.

After a while, he seemed to see something strange, his eyes widened in fright, and he threw the paintbrush in his hand on the table, and he nestled into the sofa like a cannonball.

Looking at him carefully, he was still trembling, he moved half of his face to the side of the sofa, as if in this way, the little girl would no longer appear by his side.

He didn't dare to look up, because he still seemed to be able to feel the icy breath coming from behind him.

The girl with drooping hair and a cold face with large bruises on her face should still be standing behind him.

When did she appear at his house, he didn't know, he only knew that after he came out of the mall with a toy fire truck one day, this girl had been following him closely, he was still young, so he didn't know what she was , he only remembered that when he handed the fire engine in his hand to the girl, she stretched out her hand and slapped it to the ground, and he breathed unkindly at him from behind.

Although this girl is a bit domineering, she also has something to fear.

what is it then?

As soon as Hayakawa Aida thought of this, he heard the sound of the door being opened outside the yard, and the key was inserted.Enter the door lock, slowly twist half a circle clockwise, the door opened, Hayakawa Aida pricked up his ears, listening.

"Mom, brother, I'm back."

This bright voice was like the sound of nature, Hayakawa Aida's eyes lit up, it was my sister who came back!

He suddenly raised his head from the sofa and looked back, only to find that there was no one there, but Nako's figure had appeared in the entrance in front of the door, oh, there seemed to be one more person.

Aida's small eyes rolled cunningly. He looked at the boy in the white hat with some familiarity, but he was too young to remember who this person was.

Fortunately, although the man was expressionless, he was not angry either. He knelt down and picked him up carefully, and gave Hayakawa Aida a smile.

"Hello, Kid Aida!"

"Brother! Brother!"

Hayakawa Aida remembered the boy's voice, and he muttered.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!"

"How do you talk, kid?"

A jade hand stretched out from the side and gently pulled Aida's right cheek, Hayakawa Nako was correcting Aida with a blushing face.

"This is Echizen-kun, you can just call him brother."

Echizen Ryoma is now a 17-year-old boy. In terms of physiological structure, it would not be surprising if he is a man. His figure has grown rapidly during puberty, and the baby fat of his youth has gradually disappeared at this moment. Gradually deepening, the eyebrows are long and thick, the eyes are hooked but less hostile, but when the eyebrows are lowered, there is a bit of gentleness.

"It's okay to call me brother-in-law, anyway..."

He paused.

"It's only a year and a ring away."

"Ryoma! Why do you say such things like a child!"

Nako, who was acting like a rabbit outside, blushed inside, she stretched out her hand and pulled Echizen Ryoma's sleeve a few times, and in response to Madam Hayakawa's call, she hurriedly said to go to the kitchen to serve the dishes, and fled the living room.

Echizen Ryoma hugged Hayakawa Aida and sat back on the sofa. Seeing the traces of painting on the table, he smiled and scratched Aida's nose.

"Little Aida likes to draw? Then can I draw with you?"

Hayakawa Aida turned his gaze around Echizen Ryoma, then held his head high and said with the pride and confidence unique to a child.

"Yes, if you don't know how, I can still teach you!"

"Thank you so much, Aida-chan!"

--------

When Nako came out of the kitchen with Mrs. Hayakawa holding dinner, she happened to see Echizen leaning forward and drawing with Aida. When Mrs. Hayakawa came from behind, she joked.

"Echizen-kun is really a gentle boy. He is radiant on the court, but he can cherish life when he returns home. Unlike those pretentious gentlemen, it seems that letting them accompany their children will lose their manhood."

Nako didn't speak, just smiled with the corners of her mouth curled up while lowering her head to set the plate.

"Echizen-kun, you can come over for dinner!"

Echizen obediently walked over from the living room with Aida in his arms. When he passed by Nako's side, he reached out and rubbed Nako's head.

"Nako needs to eat more today."

"Hey, I should be the one who said this to you!"

Echizen just smiled and said nothing, which made Nako's face blush again, Mrs. Hayakawa is not an invisible person, she stretched out her hand to take Aida, placed him beside her, and said hello.

"Echizen-kun, sit down and eat quickly. Kiyoshi has dinner tonight. If you don't come back for dinner, we don't have to wait for him."

"it is good."

Echizen Ryoma came back from the United States this time because he has entered the quarterfinals, and the new game is next weekend, so he came back specially to see Nako.

"Although you have arranged cleaning at your house, you still can't live in these two days. You can stay at my house first. When you are free, we will do cleaning together."

Nako was still thinking, but Echizen laughed softly.

"When I came back, my aunt said that I could live in your house, and the things would be delivered tomorrow."

According to this, is Ryoma going to live under the same roof with him for nearly ten days?

Nako sat on the dining chair as if she was sitting on flint, because she was so distraught that her feelings were almost wrong.

This kind of anxiety has nothing to do with other things, but simply worrying that his daily habits will make Ryoma feel uncomfortable.

Although they have known each other for so many years, they already know each other well enough...but...

"Okay, don't think about it, let's eat first."

Suddenly there was an extra piece of eel in the bowl, following the direction the chopsticks came from, Nako and Echizen looked at each other, then lowered their heads and smiled.

This was a lively dinner. After the meal, Mrs. Hayakawa rushed the two of them to the living room, and she gave instructions to the two of them with a smile on her face.

"Nako, go and bring out the fruit, as well as the snacks on the table and cabinet, and see what Ryoma likes to eat."

The fruit is a watermelon cut into the width of a thumb by Mrs. Hayakawa. On a porcelain plate with a blue and white carp base, the red flesh and green skin are quietly waiting for Nako and others to touch them. On another porcelain plate with a white background It was a pineapple cut into the size of a thumb. The sweet and sour taste of the pineapple was scattered in the air, and then it was skewered by a silver fork and put into Hayakawa Aida's wide-open mouth.

"Sweet sweet!"

Aida smiled and clapped his hands. After a few seconds, he seemed to think of something. He glanced behind him carefully, and then, while Nako was talking to Echizen, he picked up a fork and forked a piece of pineapple and an apple into it. Put it on the paper plate, turned and put the paper plate in a corner.

"Aida, what are you doing?"

Nako Hayakawa was asking him something. Children don't know how to lie, but they can't fully express their thoughts, so they can only point to the corner and speak straight.

"Here, give her to eat."

Nako Hayakawa was about to ask who it was.

There was a knock on the door from the yard. Is Kiyoshi Hayakawa back?

Nako stood up and walked to the entrance, just as she opened the door, she was facing the person coming from outside.

The first person I saw was Kita Shohei.

He was still wearing the clothes when the two separated earlier, and the camera was still hanging around his neck, but his blunt eyes made Nako a little suspicious and wary.

"Hayakawa Nako?"

Someone came forward from behind and pushed Kita Shohei recklessly away. It was the police, about three of them, frowning tightly. One of them was holding a notebook in his hand, as if they were waiting for Nako's answer.

When Nako saw this scene, although she didn't understand half of it, she also vaguely guessed that something happened, so she didn't have much emotional fluctuations, she asked back.

"It's me, what's the matter?"

"Do you know Xikutiao Yuanxing?"

Nako understood, she nodded.

"She was found dead in the alley. I thought you might go to the police station with us."

During the entanglement, Mrs. Hayakawa had already come out of the kitchen. She thought it was Kiyoshi Hayakawa who had returned, but when she came out, she saw three policemen standing in front of Nako. At that moment, she thought that something happened to Kiyoshi Hayakawa, but After hearing their conversation from the side, she suddenly realized that it wasn't Kiyoshi Hayakawa who had the accident, but Nako.

"Mr. Police, do you recognize the wrong person? The lady passed away. How could it be related to our Naiko?"

She stretched out her hand to protect Nako Hayakawa behind her, for fear that the police would suddenly reach out and drag Nako out of the room.

"Ma'am, please don't stop us. We received a call from an eyewitness who reported to us that he saw someone kill the woman, and the murderer was the daughter behind you, Hayakawa Nako."

At this point, Hayakawa Nako is not a fool, her eyes paused on Kita Shohei's face, the black air was very strong, it seemed that something was going in a bad direction.

She didn't panic, and it could even be said that the current incident didn't deserve to make her panic at all. If she had to say it, she was only panicked enough when she was eating.

"Well, let's go."

Nako slowly pulled Mrs. Hayakawa's arm down, and then comforted her.

"It's okay, I'll go back as soon as I go."

"Nako!"

"Nakko, you go, don't worry."

Echizen Ryoma nodded beside him, he didn't disbelieve Nako, but in such a stalemate situation, this option is indeed the best.

Knowing what he meant, Nako looked up at him for a few seconds, then raised her arms and hugged Echizen's waist.

"I forgot to tell you that you are welcome back."

"Needless to say, your smiling face has already told me."
