Lion King

For a little giant in the development period, eleven o'clock is the time to eat.My elder brother, who was deaf to what was going on outside the window, naturally didn't notice his friend's hunger, nor was he considerate enough to take him down to find something to eat. The little giant, who knew his elder brother's character well, had to come out to look for food by himself.

I'm not like Kenji's dull guy, but I'm very caring.

I opened the refrigerator and inspected the food in the freezer. The empty contents inside made my heart hurt-the vegetables were only cucumber and snow peas, then two small eggs and a bag of pasta.I thought there must be some quick-frozen food in the freezer, but I underestimated my stepmother’s self-esteem as a mother—not to mention the frozen hamburgers I imagined, there were not even dumplings and siu mai.

With a deep sigh, I turned to the little giant, who maintained his poise even when he was hungry, and offered my own advice.

"Do you like fried noodles with soy sauce?"

The little giant nodded.

"Then let's eat fried noodles with soy sauce."

I took the pot out of the cupboard, boiled the water, sprinkled it with salt, threw the pasta in, and sent the little giant upstairs to ask my noble brother to come down to help.

Kenji came to the kitchen with a dissatisfied face, leaned against the door frame and glared at me: "I'm still wondering when you will come back." His tone revealed a little anger.I remembered the strict door control when I first moved in with him, and I couldn't help turning my head to the side and grinning, biting his neck at an angle that he couldn't see.

Hua Xing happened to walk over with a cucumber in his arms, seeing my distorted face, his shoulders trembled in shock.He turned his head and glanced at Kenji, then at me, as if confirming that there is indeed something called blood relationship between the two of us, then he sighed.

I'm so sorry, Hanakata-kun, we're not like this usually, you have to believe me.

I boiled a pot of water, sprinkled in the salt according to the pasta package directions, and threw the pasta in.Huaxing washed the cucumber and snow peas, carefully shredded the cucumber and put it on a plate, and boiled a pot of water on the stove next to me to boil the snow peas.

"Do snow peas need to be cooked?"

Kenji, who seldom entered the kitchen, leaned over curiously, folded his arms around his chest, and asked Hanakata like an instructor.

"Is this... needed?"

Hanakata was not very sure either, looking at me with a questioning look while talking.

"It needs to be cooked."

My mom has a quirk of cooking all her vegetables, whether they can be eaten raw or not.So I didn’t know until I was a guest at Zhang’s house that cucumbers, carrots, and lettuce are all cold salads that can be eaten raw.

It was a nightmare that I actually spent my childhood eating like an elderly person.

I don't know whether the snow peas need to be boiled, but it's okay if they are boiled...the taste will probably be worse.

The flower shape uses a large colander to hold the snow peas, soaks them in boiling water for about 20 seconds, picks them up, and puts them on a plate together with the shredded cucumbers.

After a while, my noodles were cooked. I asked Kenji, who had nothing to do, to help me scoop out the noodles. Then I took out the frying pan from the cupboard. After the pan was heated up, I poured cooking oil, cooked noodles and vegetables into it. Wipe the spatula carefully, pour in the soy sauce after the cucumber becomes soft, stir fry for a while, and then it can be out of the pan.

The used pan does not need to be washed, and a little oil is added to make scrambled eggs.

The simple fried noodles with soy sauce gave off a sweet aroma, and the three of us couldn't help taking a deep breath and sighing in contentment when it was plated.

"Sister Fujima is very good at cooking!"

Hanakata turned her head and praised me while bringing the plate to the dining table.

"Hahaha? I think there are still many shortcomings. If there are more ingredients..."

I seldom get good comments on cooking from the opposite sex, but when I heard Hanagara complimenting me, I felt overwhelmed for a long time.I followed him, scrambled eggs in hand, smiling like an idiot.

Kenji walked past me with his share of fried noodles, and when he passed by, he gave me a speechless glance.

"Praise from others should be accepted with gratitude, hypocritical self-effacing will not increase favorability, Li Yang."

He warned me very seriously.

Hanakata, who was already sitting at the dining table waiting for the meal, smiled wryly upon hearing this.

It's not that I am self-effacing, the noodles this time are really not delicious.The taste of soy sauce is too light, and there is no meat, and the scrambled eggs made because I am too lazy to wash the pot one more time also feel different.

Most importantly, there is not enough protein to eat.

Three people share two eggs, and each person can only get a little more than one bite.

Probably because they were really hungry, Kenji and Hanakata didn't complain, they quickly finished their share, and then stared at me.

Knowing their intentions, I gathered the plate in the circle of my arms and stared at them as I ate my portion.

In the end, the three of us drank another 1.2 liter bottle of oolong tea and emptied the refrigerator completely.

After washing the dishes, it was already 01:30, Kenji and Hanakata continued to watch the video, and I went back to my room to sleep.

While washing in the bathroom on the second floor, Hanakata walked in.It must have been the drowsiness after eating, and he was going to sleep too.After saying hello to me, he took off his glasses and washed his face. After bending over, he was only slightly shorter than me.

He is really tall.

"Hanagata-kun, how tall are you?"

He straightened up, wiped his face with his hands, and I handed him my cleanser.

"Please use it if you don't mind. The towel is on the right."

He opened his eyes and turned to me with a frozen expression - I grinned and smiled.In the mirror, a man with black paste on his face was reflected, smiling sinisterly at a little white giant.

"I, I have 194... Ah, thank you."

I waved to him, beckoned him to come closer, and whispered something to him.

Kenji soon succumbed to the fatigue after eating, he walked to the bathroom with a drag, and opened the door——

Two black-faced ghosts, one tall and one short, were staring at him coldly.

Kenji let out a scream.

chapter32Hiroshima

The summer vacation has entered the hottest time - the National High School Athletic Conference.

The nation's best high school student athletes gather in Hiroshima to compete for the title of King.The two qualifying places in Kanagawa County were won by Hainan, the king over the years, and Xiangyang, a rising star in recent years.

My mother has been making plans to go to Hiroshima since she qualified for Xiangyang.She is a good mother who loves her children very much, but this way of sticking to her children wherever she goes is really unbearable.

"You just have to wait at home for Kenji to bring the trophy back!"

I tried to persuade her, but my mother ignored me completely—until she saw Kenji's embarrassed expression.

Because my mother couldn't go, I had an extra 4 yuan in pocket money—as my mother's representative, I was responsible for taking pictures of Kenji's heroic appearance on the field...

Thanks to my brother, not only can I go to Hiroshima justifiably, but I don’t have to pay for the accommodation myself—my biological father generously paid for the accommodation for me and Kenji, but it’s not like he would work part-time when he wants to come to Kenji A person who earns pocket money.Coupled with my mother's 4 yuan, my wallet is full of confidence and I have a fat belly!

Ever since I fell in love with Mu Shenyi, I have been looking forward to going to the National Convention with him—even if we are not together, I feel very happy watching him from the stands.However, when I was in the first grade, I was unable to go to Hiroshima for various reasons, which made me very regretful. I will go to this year's national conference no matter what.

The abundance of money and the support of my family kept me bouncing around the room two days before my departure.

"What are you excited about so early in the morning?"

At five o'clock in the morning on the day before departure, Kenji pushed open the door of my room sleepily, rubbed his eyes and asked in a hoarse voice. His usual smooth chestnut hair was slept like an antenna, pointing straight to the ceiling.

"I'm going to Hiroshima! Brother, I'm going to Hiroshima!"

I jumped to his side, shaking his shoulders vigorously, trying to share my joy with him.Kenji, who was awakened, let me shake like a soft rag doll, his big round eyes were half closed, and he kept yawning.

"...I know you're happy, but it's only five—"

He yawned loudly, tears streaming down the ditch.After wiping it carelessly, Kenji raised his hands to cup my face, then turned to the wall with the clock hanging on it.

"Everyone is sleeping, can you be quiet?"

It was rare for him to speak in a soft voice, seeing that his face was sleepy, but the strength in his hands did not diminish.I struggled a few times and couldn't break free. He kept asking me to look at the wall clock, and the two of us stood at the door of the room and started fighting.

"Your head is quite big..."

Kenji hugged my head with both hands, twisted it left and right to look at it, and then used his hands alternately to knead my face like dough.

"You have a big head! Let go of me, it hurts!"

I couldn't pull his hand away, and this pulling made him a lot more awake, and I couldn't attack him even more.

This guy rubbed all the snot out of my nose, it's really disgusting!

The noise of the two of us squabbling woke up the parents downstairs.Dad, wearing a gray vest and shorts, yawned big, and asked Kenji while wiping away his tears.

"What are you two doing?"

"Ah, Dad..."

Kenji finally let go of his hand, I took the opportunity to wipe my snot on his back, then pretended nothing happened, spread my hands and shrugged at Dad.

"We were reminiscing about the times we used to fight together."

Kenji turned his head and glanced at me, while my father showed a sudden realization expression, and let out a long "Oh--".

"You two didn't fight when you were young... Well, you probably wouldn't fight... Ah, so sleepy..."

Dad obviously didn't wake up either, he yawned and walked down the stairs, muttering sentences of unknown meaning.

Kenji quickly noticed the snot I wiped on his body, his expression froze for a while, and then he smiled alarmingly.

"Li Yang."

"what?"

He called my name gently, and then gave me a knife gently.

"I decided not to go to Hiroshima with you."

"Why?"

I forgot to mention that my accommodation fee and the 4 yuan pocket money are based on the fact that Kenji and I go together. If he loses his temper and doesn't take me with him, then I can only go alone with an empty bag It's time to support Mu Shenyi... I don't want it!

After Kenji said this, he went downstairs, and I chased after him, asking him why why, and finally tired of asking him.

My biological brother turned his head to look at me coldly and spat out sentences that would shoot every woman on the planet.

"Because I hate dirty girls."

Because I smeared my nose on you?But you rubbed my face first and made my nose runny...

I jumped on his back, hugged his neck tightly and shouted: "Take me, take me, take me, take me!" I miscalculated Kenji's load-bearing capacity, and we walked down the stairs together. Rolled up and down.Fortunately, there were only two steps away from the first floor, so we didn't receive a big impact and rolled to the floor.

I wisely landed on Kenji when I chose the landing point. His soft and strong upper body provided a good cushioning effect. Taking this opportunity, I pressed on Kenji's body and pressed one hand on his delicate face. .

"Take me there!"

"do not want!"

Without showing any sign of weakness, he stretched out his arms and pinched my cheeks and pulled them on both sides.

"……take me!"

"do not want!"

I pressed harder on his face, and my palms could clearly feel the hardness of his nasal bridge and the damp heat of his breath.

"Take...me...to...la..."

Kenji pressed his thumb on the corner of my mouth and curled it to the sides. My saliva flowed out from the salivary glands and accumulated near the lower gums and in the cheeks.

"don't want!"

"...Oh my god! Let go of Li Yang, you will kill him!"

The stepmother's terrified cry came from behind, and then a pair of white indoor shoes came to my side.The stepmother knelt on the ground and hugged me from behind.

"I... don't... let go..."

The saliva has accumulated to the limit, and I am afraid that if I say another word, I will spit it out.But you can't admit defeat now!

Kenji's face was also deformed because of my relationship, his delicate upper lip was pressed by my palm like a pickled cucumber, and the delicate and straight tip of his nose was also pressed into a dumpling wrapper by me.Dad also ran over when he heard the cry of his stepmother. At this moment, Kenji's hands suddenly turned my face to Dad's side, and my saliva finally overflowed my mouth and flowed to Kenji along the corner of his mouth. hands, and then the floor—

Dad burst out laughing.

Our battle ended in my defeat.

Kenji had a red nose, and I rubbed my swollen cheeks, and the two of them went into the bathroom to wash our face and brush our teeth.Dad was still laughing in the living room.

"You're quite heavy."

Kenji, who was squeezing toothpaste on his toothbrush, said something.

Hmph... Except for Mu Shenyi, it doesn't have any lethality for me to say this.

"Girls are like this, haven't you ever hugged a girl?"

I stuffed the toothbrush into my mouth and glared at Kenji who was still looking at my body.

"I've hugged, but nothing like you."

What about me!

Kenji gestured at the difference in our bodies in the mirror, and tilted his head in confusion.

"You are so heavy."

Ah... ah... It would be great if the person who said this beside me was Mu Shenyi...

I ignored Kenji's hurtful words and began to fall into my own wild imagination.

"You are so heavy."

Di Wangmu said to me seriously.

"Hey—is that so? I'm obviously trying to lose weight, and my weight is also lower than the standard value. It must be a sensory error. Let's try again!"

I pulled his arm coquettishly.

"Is it lower than the standard value? This is not acceptable, you have to eat well..."

The emperor stretched his arm under my armpit as he spoke, and lifted me up easily.

"Hmm...it's not heavy at all this time, Fujiwara."

He put me down with a puzzled look on his face, and blinked.

...Why did you put your hand under your armpit? !

Isn't that the children's raising high? !

I was a little excited because of fantasy, and I instantly felt stupid.

Raise high...why do you think of raising high?Is it because of lack of fatherly love?

I spit out the foam in my mouth, and I couldn't help sighing.At this time, Kenji finished brushing his teeth, and looked at my virtual image in the mirror thoughtfully.

"Why?"

"Your expression just now was disgusting."

I didn't give Kenji time to react, so I quickly pinched his nose and twisted it hard.

"Do you two still want to go to Hiroshima?"

During the physical conflict, I saw my father smiling wryly with his hands on his hips.

chapter33Question

"Hey, MAKI, if... would you...?"

In the dream, on the train bound for Hiroshima, I turned my back to the window, put one hand on Mu Shenyi's shoulder, and asked a question that I didn't even understand myself.As soon as Mu Shen got close to me, trying to hear my words clearly, he nodded without hesitation.

"I will, Fujiwara."

His voice was steady, without any waves or pretense.As if that was just the most common thing.

...Why do I think so?

In my dream, I touched my cheeks and found that tears were pouring out.

I was awakened by Kenji's knock on the door. After opening my eyes, the feeling in the dream was still clear. I subconsciously touched my face—no tears, as usual, my face was greasy from the heat and humidity of midsummer.

I opened the door impatiently, and Kenji stood outside the door, already dressed, carrying his travel bag, with a trace of anger in his beautiful round eyes inherited from his mother.

"Do you know what time it is?"

eh eh eh? !

I turned my head and looked at the wall clock beside the bed. The hour hand was already pointing to seven o'clock—the departure time was eight o'clock, and it was almost too late.

With a scream, I jumped up and ran to the head of the bed, frantically sweeping the carelessly placed cosmetics and skin care products into the travel bag.What the hell, oversleeping - I did a quick check of the alarm clock, sadly finding it dead.

Kenji stood at the door with his hands on his hips, and let out a helpless and heavy sigh.

In order to make up for my mistake, I gave up breakfast and rushed out of the house with Kenji carrying my bag.Finally arrived at the station 5 minutes before the appointed time.Before us, there were several seniors from Xiangyang, and the little giant Hanakata Toru who stayed at my house overnight.

Probably because that stay made him see the unknown side of our brother and sister. The little giant smiled very kindly when he saw me, and took my travel bag thoughtfully.

Let me just say, sharing each other's silliness can bring us closer quickly.

"Huh? This is Fujima's younger sister? The surname is different, but it really seems..."

Hanagata introduced the people present to me one by one, and when they heard my self-introduction, all the boys showed puzzled expressions, especially when the little giant told me, "This is Fujima's sister, isn't she cute?" Eyes are about to fall out of their sockets.

I don’t know if it’s because Kenji is a friend, but Hanakata always chats with me in the same tone that he would speak to a child, especially when introducing me to others, the phrase “isn’t it cute?” makes me feel like this is introducing you The illusion of a domestic puppy.

Either way, I really do feel like a tail-wagging dog sometimes.

People from Hainan also arrived one after another. I took back my travel bag from Hanakata, pretended to have arrived just now, and mixed in with the crowd in Hainan. Appearing in the field of vision, the caring junior Shenzong Ichiro quickly walked up to him, scratching his head while striking up a conversation with the senior.

I gestured to Kenji, signaling him to leave me alone, and I left with the people from Hainan. He nodded slightly in acquiescence, turned his back cooperatively, and stopped looking at me.

Xiangyang's team members followed Kenji to the end of the platform, widening the distance from Hainan.

Come on, Kenji!Although I like Mu Shenyi, I still hope that you can achieve your goal.

Facing the back of Kenji going away, I made sure no one was looking at me, then raised my hand and waved at him, but at this moment, a baritone voice that I am most familiar with came from above my head——

"Fujiwara, is that someone you know?"

My whole body was stiff, and I twisted my neck to look at the person behind me, but I could only see the white school uniform shirt, and then I looked up like a child hugging an adult's calf, and Mu Shen's backlit face appeared in the field of vision, dark His skin glowed with a healthy glow under the sun, his eyes slightly widened, with a questioning expression on his face.

...are you a cat? !There is no sound when walking!

I tried my best to squeeze out a smile, and said dryly "hey", trying to confuse this question.With a look of no intention on Mu Shenyi's face, he looked up at Xiangyang in the distance, and said to himself: "Oh, Fujima..."

I continued subconsciously: "Well, it's Fujima..."

"do you know him?"

Even though I know this is just a casual question, the very randomness of the question prevents me from lying.

"Well, I know you... Our Hainan rival..."

"Oh."

As soon as Mu Shen looked away, he turned to look at me.

"... What are you looking at me for?"

His gaze was like fire, it was so hot that it made my whole body tense, I lowered my head uselessly, and asked him in displeasure.

"Oh sorry, I didn't mean to offend you—"

Mu Shen raised his hands to his chest, shaking and explaining.

"It's just Fujiwara, you seem to have grown taller."

"Huh? What did you say? Taller? Me? Really?"

I looked at him and at myself, unable to believe what he was saying.Mu Shenyi paused for a while, nodded, and confirmed to me: "I have really grown taller."

"awesome!"

I happily jumped on the spot, and patted his arm lightly with my hand. The skin that had been exposed to the sun felt warm to the touch.

But just when I was happy, Gao Sha came over, and after greeting Mu Shen, his eyes fell on my feet.

"Hey Fujiwara, are you wearing high heels?"

... What are you doing.

I lowered my head with a click, looked down my legs, and saw my feet wearing platform sandals, and at the same time Mu Shenyi was also looking over.

So, is this the truth about growing taller?

I locked on Mu Shenyi's face expressionlessly, he opened his mouth slightly, also looking very surprised, but he swallowed back the exclamation skillfully.Diwang Mushen glanced at me quickly and touched his forehead.

"That, Fujiwara..."

He forced himself to smile broadly and caringly.

"The shoes are beautiful."

"Thank you."

"Ha ha ha ha."

When the train came into the station, we lined up to get on the train. I stood behind Mu Shenyi, and he stood at the end of the team.When he stepped into the carriage, I finally couldn't bear it anymore and raised my arms to pat his alluring buttocks.

"Snapped--"

His body visibly trembled, as if he was holding back something, he turned his head while trembling, and squeezed out a few words between his teeth.

"Fujiwara, why are you so angry?"

"Come in! Everyone behind is waiting!"

I raised my hands and put my palms on his waist in an unnatural posture. While feeling the lines of his waist muscles and the heat emanating from them, I pushed him into the compartment.

I haven't touched this place yet.

When I hit his back due to inertia, I took advantage of the cover of my body and grabbed twice fascinatedly at that elastic and strong waist.

chapter34Natsu

Speaking of Hiroshima, one night before departure, my mother mentioned that she had eloped to Hiroshima with her father.

"If the marriage didn't get the support of the family at that time, you and Kenji would have been born there! Hahahahaha"

Although we broke up in the end, I was filled with emotion when I saw my mother's still beautiful side face.

The scenery outside the car window flashed quickly, and thinking that my parents might have looked out of the window with hope when they were young, I couldn't help feeling a pang of pain in my chest.

If we really went to Hiroshima at that time, would we have become a harmonious family of four?Maybe I'll have a younger brother or sister, get another dog, and travel abroad during the hottest summer months.

Just thinking about it makes me happy.

However, the reality is that they didn’t go that far. Grandma and grandma finally accepted the choice of the child. Then Kenji was born, mom dropped out of school, then I was born, and finally they broke up. I lived with my mother, and Kenji lived with my father. , we each have a new family.

Mom didn't expect that life would be like this 18 years later, so what about me?

Now I have just decided to follow in the footsteps of the person I like and go to Tokyo to study in university. I don't know what will happen after that, but I just hold a simple wish that everything will develop in a good direction. 18 years later, like my mother, will I be in an environment that I can't imagine now, living a life that I don't understand and never imagined?

What a headache. Even though I am only a high school student, I started to think about such disturbing things. But isn’t the beauty of youth lies in uncertainty?

Perhaps sensing that I was different from usual, Mu Shenyi touched me with his arm.

"Ok?"

"Ok?"

He tilted his head to imitate me, then put his hands on top of my head, and pulled them down alternately, as if he was taking a very long rope.

"What are you doing!" I looked up, watching his wide palm move quickly above my head.

"Your soul just floated out, I'll catch it for you."

This, is not funny at all.

But for the sake of how handsome you are, I choose to laugh.

"Like an idiot, MAKI!"

Mu Shen leaned over solemnly and waved his hands in front of my face.

"are you back?"

"It's back!"

After confirming the results of his labor, he nodded in satisfaction and looked out the window.

"Has Fujiwara been bothered by anything lately?"

At lunch time, we bought station bento, and as soon as we opened the lid, we heard Mu Shenyi's voice coming from our ears.

"You have been quiet since you got in the car. What happened?"

He didn't look me in the eyes, he seemed to think that this was not a good topic, but he had to mention it, so he asked the question with this seemingly understatement attitude.

What a gentle person.

However, this question is so difficult to answer... After all, how can a young girl's sensitive and fragile mind talk to outsiders at will?

I'm just uneasy about the future, and if I say that, I'll definitely be considered a spoiled child.It is also difficult for the other party as the listener to respond, so it is better not to speak.

"Well, it's too hot."

I fanned the wind with my hands, smiling unnaturally.

"I'm very afraid of heat, so I will go into silent mode in summer, sorry for worrying you! By the way, what does Amu do during summer vacation? Is there any good way to cool off?"

"Huh? Is that so?" Mu Shenyi didn't fully believe what I said. He stared at me for a while, then turned his head to look around—everyone was enjoying their bento in silence. After confirming that no one was paying attention to us, he raised his head. Putting his hand on my shoulder, he pressed it as if giving me strength.

"Although it may not be of much help...but I will listen to you carefully."

It's embarrassing, but... At this moment, the tip of his nose suddenly became sour, and tears were about to fall.I don't know why this happened, it's obviously just caring for my friend, but I hope it contains more emotions, and I want to get more from him.

I hate summer, food will spoil faster, sweat will soak underwear, makeup will smudge, but I don't hate the heat on your body, I even hope that the heat can make me burn, and burn away the bad parts of life .

"Hey, maki..."

I turned my back to the car window, put my hand on his shoulder, felt his body temperature, and hoped that he could hear me talking to myself.

"If a person hates himself very much, would you like this person who even hates himself?"

As soon as Mu Shen got close to me, trying to hear what I was saying, he nodded without a trace of hesitation, and answered me in an affirmative tone.

"I will, Fujiwara."

It's like telling me that I will like you.

The tamagoyaki in the bento is sweet, and I like sweetness, so I unceremoniously snatched the tamagoyaki from Mu Shenyi's bento, and then gave him my fried burdock and hamburger meat.

"When it comes to summer, the only thing besides the Nationals is surfing."

Mu Shenyi said while eating the bento, his cheeks puffed up.Seeing me looking at him, I covered my mouth in embarrassment.

"Is Fujiwara interested in surfing? It's a very interesting sport, I think you should like it."

"But I can get a tan like you. I am more suitable for fair skin. But, I want to try it once, surfing."

"That……"

"After the national competition is over, let's go together!"

Mu Shen nodded as soon as he seemed in a good mood, the two of us didn't chat any more after that, we finished our bento quietly.

When I arrived in Hiroshima, Mu Shen helped me unload my luggage, paused, and assured me seriously: "I... will definitely not let you get tanned!"

Well, in fact, it is also great to have the same color as you, and people will say that you have a husband and wife look!

chapter35Yoru

The National High School Athletic Conference kicks off.

As one of Kanagawa's representative teams, the High School Affiliated to Hainan University has received a lot of attention as always.

There were quite a lot of people like me who came to watch the game at their own expense, and there were also girls who made supportive fans and gathered in a corner of the hotel lobby in twos and threes, chatting and laughing softly.

I checked in with my luggage, reported to my mother on the hotel phone, and met Yuka.

The basketball team quickly entered the state of preparation. Cheerleaders like Yuka and I only need to wave the colored balls in our hands vigorously during the game.

By the way, the hotel where Xiangyang stayed is not far from here. My arrogant and overly serious brother is studying the opponents in the group stage right now.If he went back after a round of tours, he would definitely jump off the balcony at home out of shame.

Yuka wanted to go to Miyajima, so we planned the time briefly and expected to be back in the evening.

Although we were watching the national competition, we were just spectators and did not really participate in it.It's a bit embarrassing to say.

Both Yuka and I are not very time-conscious people. After visiting Itsukushima Shrine, while waiting for the ferry, I felt empty in my stomach, so I bought curry bread with Yuka and ate it slowly, accidentally getting dirty clothes.When we got back to the hotel by train, we were hungry again. The two wandered aimlessly, and finally ate instant noodles at a convenience store.When I came back to my senses, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Yuka always went to bed early, she went back to the room first, while I wandered in the hotel garden.

This hotel is European-style, and the garden is full of beautiful gerbera, hyacinth, hydrangea and roses.It feels so noisy... I walked around and smelled the fragrance of flowers in the air. The cicadas in summer never stopped singing, the moonlight fell through the gauze-like clouds on the stone road, and a frightened scarab came from me. Crawled in front of him and disappeared into the low bushes beside the road.

What a quiet night.

All I ate today were heavy-tasting convenience foods that were not refreshing at all. The moist summer night air that I inhaled into my nasal cavity seemed to be able to drive away the chemical seasonings in my body, and my whole body became light.

Oh, how beautiful it would be if there was someone you love by your side at this time, and the two would walk hand in hand under the moonlight.

As I was thinking about it, I drew in my mind the beautiful picture of falling flowers and the background decorated with roses and lilies, which are common in shoujo manga.Then the camera turned, a full moon hung high, the cold light drove away the sweet and unreal air, the night wind blew, the cicadas sang one after another, and the tree shadows swayed under the feet, jumping on tiptoes while walking towards the moon.

There must be such a day.

The father and mother 17 years ago may have been in such a scene.

But for me now, it's just a delusion, after all, I haven't——

"Li Yang?"

My fantasy was violently interrupted.Looking back stiffly, my arrogant and overly serious brother had his hands on his hips, his delicate eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his round and bright eyes like a deer became slender, making up a puzzled expression.

"What are you doing here so late? Don't you go back to sleep?"

You manage a lot!go away!

Just when I was about to refute, there was an extra person on Kenji's left.

"Oh ~ sister Fujiwara, you are here too!"

It's a little giant in the shape of a flower.By the way, you two really like appearing together.

"I said... Aren't you staying at Hotel R? What are you doing here?"

I don't want to see you anywhere but the stadium, brother! !

If someone from the same school finds out that I know Kenji Fujima, it will definitely cause a lot of boring speculations, and it will be troublesome to explain. I don’t want to be considered a child of a broken family or something!

However, things don't always develop according to my wishes.Kenji answered me with an expression that I don't want to be like this:

"The sewer pipe in Hotel R burst, so we had no choice but to stay here." While talking, he glanced at Huaxing, and the little giant nodded solemnly to confirm his statement.

"That's it... that's really unfortunate."

For me it is.

"That means we will see each other often during this period of time, please give me more advice, sister Fujiwara."

"Uh, please give me more advice..."

What good advice! !
