[Hokage] A rose in mourning for the summer moon

Although talking to his seniors will "come on", Itachi's schoolwork is very heavy, and he has to take care of the department work, and Xia Yue also has to go to the language school.After walking around the campus together that day, the two didn't see each other again for a whole week.After that, it was just an occasional morning run together, and when we met at night, we said hello.

After the summer vacation, Itachi had to prepare for an important competition, leaving early and returning late every day.Sometimes during dinner, he would hear his mother talking about "Miss Xia Yue next door". At first, she said that Miss Xia Yue was going out again, and she was studying Japanese very seriously, and then it gradually developed into two people together. Make appointments to see art exhibitions, visit museums, shop for clothes, and bake new pastries.

"Miss Xia Yue is very tasteful, with a high-end sense of aesthetics. She is very good at painting and fashion. She said that although she doesn't like to dress up herself, she is happy to help make other people beautiful. She is considerate and reliable. , not at all like a teenager."

Mikoto was a little elated.

Fu Yue glanced at his wife and said, "It sounds, Miqin, you seem to regard Miss Xia Yue as a friend of the same age."

"Really, I'm not that young." Meiqin rubbed her cheeks and smiled sheepishly, "However, Miss Xia Yue is indeed a very good friend, beautiful and funny, understanding, and good taste. Get along with her." Very pleasant. Isn't it, Itachi?"

Unexpectedly being called by name suddenly, Itachi stopped drinking tea.He raised his eyes, met his parents' slightly deep eyes, and lowered his eyes again after a while, calmly drinking the last sip of tea.

"That's true." He said, "However, I've been very busy recently, so I don't know how Xia Yue is doing."

"Ah, indeed, Itachi has been busy all summer. In a blink of an eye, it's already August."

There seems to be another deep meaning in the mother's smiling words.

"That's right. Brother is always so busy." Sasuke also couldn't wait to speak, and he sighed, pretending to be old and sensible, "I thought my brother liked Miss Xiayue next door, but it turned out that he didn't like it in a blink of an eye. It's in the back of your head."

Itachi glanced at his younger brother, holding his teacup tightly with a sullen face.

Fu Yue glared at the youngest son, and reprimanded, "Sasuke, why are you talking to your brother?"

"Father——I'm not a kid anymore, neither is my brother. Isn't it normal to discuss my brother's love affairs?" Sasuke replied unhappily.

The father was even more unhappy, but his wife immediately spoke up for the younger son.The youngest son was already favored, and Fuyue didn't really want to reprimand him, so he kept silent, taking his wife's words of protection as a step, and came down silently, no longer pestering him.

Sasuke was a little proud, held his head up, and said, "However, that's good, brother doesn't have to care about that."

"That matter?" Itachi was staring at the phone screen absently, and raised his head upon hearing this.

"When school was over the day before yesterday, I saw Miss Xia Yue on the road, and there was another man. He was a handsome young man in a suit and thin gold-rimmed glasses. He drove Miss Xia Yue back. I also heard that The man told Miss Xia Yue that you can talk to him no matter what you need."

As Sasuke spoke, he peeked at his brother's reaction.But his elder brother still remained calm, like a bottomless pool, no matter how big a stone was thrown, not a single drop of water would splash.

"I think it's probably Miss Xia Yue's boyfriend." Sasuke made a final decision.

His brother stared at him, dark eyes, dark eyes.

Sasuke was not afraid of his brother, and continued to comment: "Sure enough, for a girl, someone who can always accompany her is more important, right?"

Mikoto turned her head, covered her mouth, and laughed silently.Fu Yue opened a newspaper, his hands shaking slightly.

The chair hit the ground, making a small rubbing sound.Itachi stood up and walked out decisively.

"I'm done eating."

"Itachi, where are you going?" Mikoto asked hastily.

"go out for a while."

One minute later, Itachi reappeared in front of his family.Parents and younger brother watched him silently.

"Ah, I remembered." Meiqin's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "Miss Xia Yue said that she will stay at a relative's house for the next two days and won't come back."

Sasuke immediately took his mother's words and said, "Mom, why didn't you say that just now, but my brother made a futile trip."

"Your brother moved so fast that mother forgot all of a sudden."

Fuyue was holding the newspaper, shaking it so much that it rattled.

Itachi looked at his family blankly, then turned and went back to the room.

Hahahaha...

The three people in the restaurant were laughing like crazy.

Secretly annoyed, Itachi closed the door, swiped open the phone screen, and sent a message on Line.

【Itachi: Xia Yue, haven't you come home yet?It's late, stay safe. 】

2 minutes later, she replied.

[Xia Yue: I won't be going back for a few days.An elder celebrates his birthday, and he needs to be a cute and obedient junior [poor] who comes to celebrate his birthday in these two days. 】

Itachi moved his finger and typed "When will Xia Yue come back", but hesitated for a moment, and then deleted the line himself.

[Itachi: Are you tired?go to bed early. 】

[Xia Yue: Itachi is also, Aunt Meiqin said that you work very hard every day, and you will do your best in everything you do.Pay attention to your body. 】

He couldn't help raising the corners of his lips, and immediately remembered the strange man Sasuke had mentioned just now, and the corners of his lips curled up again.I wanted to ask, but couldn't bring it up.

He stared at the screen for a long time, confirming that she would not reply again.Itachi went to the bed, threw the phone aside as if to vent his anger, and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

Even if he wants to contact Xia Yue more, the deadline for submitting the results of the competition is just around the corner. Itachi's teammates are all working hard, and he himself must devote himself to it.

After another week of working from dawn to dusk, I finally sent out the thesis and ppt before the deadline.Itachi was the last one to leave the conference room, locked the door, and set foot on his way home in the sunset.

When I got to the door, I rang the doorbell three times but no one answered.Itachi just remembered that his father's club organized a trip to Hokkaido and allowed relatives to participate, and his mother and younger brother happily followed him, while he himself stayed in Tokyo alone for the competition.

Has he been a little too absent-minded lately?

Reflecting on himself, Itachi started looking for the key in the bag.

pat.

Behind him a door opened.

"Itachi? What's the matter, is there no one at home?"

Itachi's movements froze.He turned his head and saw the owner of 2302 standing not far away.She was wearing a white hollow lace top, a ginger skirt, a printed ribbon around her waist, her hair curled in a natural arc, and tiny flower-shaped earrings around her ears.

He was stunned for a while.

"Xia Yue?"

"Why is Itachi a little blank, are you tired?" She smiled sweetly, "If you don't have the key, would you like to come to my house and sit for a while?"

He had already grasped the key lying at the bottom of the bag, but at this moment he let it go silently and closed the bag cover.

"Then interrupt." Itachi said.

2302 is about half the size of 2301.The interior of the house is a simple European style of uniform decoration of the apartment. Japanese room elements are used in the details, such as cabinet doors made into closets, and specially designed tatami mats and alcoves.The living room is covered with a thick white round carpet, and a simple bookshelf is placed beside it, full of books and CDs.A Sony LCD TV is hung on the wall next to it, and a blue vase is placed on the TV cabinet below, with two exquisitely crafted dried flowers inserted.

"I just came back too. That kind of formal conversation scene is really tiring."

Xia Yue poured him a cup of brown rice tea, and the little golden flowers dangling around her ears made her smile fresher.

Itachi kept looking at her.

"A relative?" he asked.

"Yes. However, although they are a bit upright, they are all very good people."

Xia Yue turned on the stereo and played a soothing serenade.

"Aunt Meiqin and the others will come back very late?"

Itachi's eyes flickered.

"In fact, my parents and younger brother have been traveling in Hokkaido for the past few days and just left today. I forgot about it."

Facing her astonished expression, he immediately added: "Please don't worry. I left a spare key with a friend and asked him to send it over."

Xia Yue didn't suspect him, she smiled and said, "That's good. But since Aunt Miqin and the others won't come back, would Itachi have dinner with me? I'm planning to cook."

"... Then it will be troublesome."

She disappeared for a while, and when she reappeared, she had changed into a sweater and sweatpants, and she looked very comfortable.A Pikachu was drawn on the hoodie, which reminded Itachi of the gift in his room that had been delayed.

"Itachi, do you eat Chinese food?" She poked her head from the kitchen.

"I also can."

She let out a "puchi" laugh and said, "You don't like spicy food, but you still like sweet food. Be careful and make mapo tofu and spicy chicken for you!"

As long as she made it, he would eat it without changing his face.Itachi took a sip of tea, swallowed the thought, and suddenly realized: How did she know that he likes sweet food and doesn't like spicy food?

Maybe it was what my mother said.

"Xia Yue, let me help." Itachi walked into the kitchen.

"Okay, then wash out the rice first and put it in the rice cooker." Xia Yue said without being polite to him, "If you have time, wash the vegetables for me."

Itachi also helped his mother do these things when he was a child. Later, when he went to college, he handed over the housework to his younger brother for exercise.It was all simple work, he was doing it silently, glancing at Xia Yue from time to time.The corners of her lips were always slightly curved, wondering if there was something happy about it.

"I'm going to make tomato stewed ham and tofu, and vegetable and egg soup. There are fruits in the refrigerator, which can be used as desserts. For two people, this should be enough, right?" She asked while cutting the ham.

"Well, that's enough." He paused, "By the way, Xia Yue, my competition has come to an end for now, and I won't be as busy as before."

"Really? That's great. There's more than a week left of summer vacation, what's your plan?"

"Next... I don't have any special plans. I should take a rest."

silence.

"that……"

The voices of the two overlapped.They were all taken aback, looking at each other, finally Xia Yue smiled first, and asked, "What's wrong?"

The switch of the rice cooker has been turned on, and the running water is washing the vegetables in Itachi's hand.He cleared his throat a little before he said, "I mentioned that famous cafe nearby, do Xia Yue want to go?"

"Um, okay."

She stir-fried the tomatoes to get the juice out, and then put diced ham in. After a while, she added diced tofu.Then, she cracked two eggs, stuffed them together with the eggbeater to Itachi, and asked him to beat the eggs with a smile.

Itachi did so carefully.

When she poured the eggs into the oil pan and fried them till the fragrance filled the room, then added water and seasonings to cook the soup, Itachi finally couldn't hold back and asked, "What did Xia Yue want to say just now?"

"Huh? What?"

She turned her head, her eyes were innocent, but her smile was shining.It must be on purpose.But……

However, this is also very cute.

Itachi suddenly raised his hand and brushed her cheek lightly with his fingers.Her eyes widened in surprise, but she didn't move.

"There is an onion." He said calmly.

She laughed again.She was always easy to laugh, smiling, smiling slyly, laughing happily, the air seemed to become lighter and happy around her.

"I just want to say that there is a movie I want to see coming out this weekend. If Itachi is free, can you watch it with me?"

He felt a "gurgling" sound in his heart, like the bubbles in soda water, bursting one after another in a fluttering manner.

"Okay." He heard his own voice, still calm and calm, "Let's go together."

"So, drink coffee first, then go to the movies?"

"it is good."

【Mother: Itachi, we have already arrived at the hotel in Hokkaido.Did you bring the key? 】

[Itachi: Yes, please don't worry. 】

[Mother: That's good.There are ready-made meals in the refrigerator, remember to heat them yourself. 】

[Itachi: Okay. 】

The weekend's opening movie is Detective Pikachu.Shinjuku's commercial streets are always bustling, especially on weekends.Xia Yue wore another Pikachu T-shirt, a denim skirt, canvas shoes, a high ponytail, a peaked cap, and a shoulder bag. She looked like a middle school girl, but she wore two shiny Large hoop earrings.

Itachi also wore a plain sweater, paired with jeans, and carried a black backpack.

"Okay, today's matching theme is 'bad'!" Xia Yue announced enthusiastically.

Itachi looked at her and said, "There is no such cute bad."

"Hey, was I praised just now?"

Itachi didn't speak, but the corners of his lips slightly raised.He took a cardboard box out of his backpack and handed it to her.

"Gift." He said, "Thanks to Xia Yue for taking me in last time."

"Wow, 'retaining', this word is so poorly used." Xia Yue narrowed her eyes with a smile, and took the gift, "Can I open it now?"

"of course."

"Let me see... Ah, it's Pikachu! I want to buy this pen, how do you know, Itachi!"

If she had Pikachu's tail, she would be happy to stand up right now, maybe even dangling it.The cooperative pen is equipped with a poke ball-shaped pen holder, which looks like launching Pikachu when put together.

Xia Yue poked the little Pikachu, carefully collected the gift, and put it in her backpack.

"I love it," she said, "Thanks, Itachi."

What was the movie about that day?Itachi didn't remember very clearly.He is not very interested in movies.About that day, all he remembered was Xia Yue's happy smile and her clear and soft voice when she spoke.After the movie ended, she bought a detective-like Pikachu to hold in her arms, and wanted to eat ice cream, but he refused because she would have a stomachache.She just stared at him, seeing his soft heart all the time, she had no choice but to compromise and said that she could only eat a scoop of ice cream.

"By the way, Itachi, do you usually go to the library to study by yourself?"

"I often go to the library. Do you want Xia Yue to come together?"

"Well, I want to go. The language school is quite easy, and I plan to study economics in advance."

"Then, let's go together. If there is something I don't understand, maybe I can help."

She laughed again.

"Of course, I believe you. Itachi is a genius." She said jokingly, and followed the Chinese etiquette, clasped her fists and made a bow, "Please give me more advice, Mr. Itachi."

"……naughty."

He patted her head lightly.

"Let's be together from now on." He said softly.

The author has something to say: Itachi's family almost died laughing watching.
