This community is very quiet, so quiet that Sakakibara Leren never imagined that this is a community in the prosperous and expensive Chiyoda District.
Raku Sakakibara followed the umbrella-holding Tenami Nanami and climbed up the gentle slope. The further we walked, the fewer people there seemed to be. It was probably the rainy weather, and no one was willing to go out. There were only a few old people walking on the street.
On the roadside.
A car passed by with its top down, its wheels making the sound of rain. Sakakihara looked away from the car's taillights and continued to follow the girl in front.
——In this way, Sakakihara Raku followed Amami Nanami and arrived in front of a large double-open iron door with mottled paint. The iron door was surrounded by a rough iron chain and had a relatively new lock. He stood outside and looked in.
, you can find a villa occupied by ivy. There are several trees planted in the front yard of the villa, and weeds grow in the middle of the stone road leading to the door, but they are not too tall.
"This is the villa you lived in when you were a child?" Sakakihara couldn't help but look at the surrounding environment. It was very quiet here.
"Brother, what do you think?" Tianhai Qimingyue took out a bunch of keys from the purse of her pleated skirt.
"The first thing you notice is a house where rich people live. This is in Chiyoda District, and it's so abandoned?" Raku Sakakihara took the key chain, looked at it, picked out the longest one, walked to the iron gate, and handed the key
Insert the lock cylinder.
There was a click and it opened smoothly.
"It's not abandoned. This is grandpa's house. Grandpa will send people to take care of it regularly."
Raku Sakakihara looked at the wall occupied by green, only the window area was empty, "Why don't you get rid of the ivy?"
"Grandma planted it, saying she wanted to see more greenery. Grandpa actually disliked the ivy for making the house become cold and damp, but it was planted by grandma, and there was nothing he could do about it."
It turns out that Grandpa Tianhai is still a strict wife, so shouldn’t the chairman of Tianhai Group be very dignified?
Pushing open the big squeaking iron door, the rainy day made the iron door contaminated with a lot of moisture.
Raku Sakakihara was a little distressed that his hands were stained by rust and water, so Amami Nanamigetsu handed him a piece of paper.
"Qi Mingyue, why did you bring me here...?"
"Brother, don't you want to know more about my sister? Let me take you to recall my sister's childhood."
Entering the yard, there is a motionless wooden swing on the lawn on the left side of the villa.
"That's what my sister used to like to play. If we practice the piano well, we can go out and play in the yard for a while."
Sakakihara Raku's head was hit by the rainy season, and his hair was unknowingly dyed white again. He stared at the motionless wooden swing and asked: "You couldn't get out of the yard before?"
"Since you, sister and brother, have said so much, she should also tell you. In order to avoid being affected by reporters from my mother's side, my sister and I cannot leave this place."
Sakakihara looked around for a week, and it seemed that the only entertainment facility in the entire villa's yard was the swing.
When I think that their childhood entertainment was spent on this small wooden swing... I can't help but feel pity in my heart.
After seeing it on the ground... Jiuliuli is particularly looking forward to her mother's arrival, which makes perfect sense.
"It stands to reason that journalists will at most let the industry know about your existence, right? They won't lock you in here."
Tianhai Qimingyue was not surprised at all by his question. She said calmly: "It seems that my brother misunderstood my mother's influence in Europe at that time."
"I know it's very powerful, but..."
Tianhai Qimingyue continued: "My brother only considered reporters, but not some extreme fans. For them, it is a completely unacceptable fact that the star they love their whole life got married.
"They will try their best to deny this, deny my father, and deny my sister and I. As long as reporters find out where my sister and I live, soon those extreme fans will smell it and find us."
Sakakihara couldn't help but become concerned: "Were you okay at that time?"
"Although they were found once, the Tianhai family is not without connections here. We just need to be careful of some extremists."
Entering the villa, we walked up the half-spiral staircase to the second floor. There was a little dust, and we could tell that someone had taken care of the house.
Sakakihara arrived at a room that faced the sun and was larger than an ordinary room. Directly above the room, there were two expensive-looking pianos placed diagonally.
This should be the room where the twin sisters practice piano.
Raku Sakakihara also discovered that the windows here are very high. The two sisters must have watched birds together here when they were young.
"The left one belongs to my sister, and the right one belongs to me."
"What does it feel like to play the piano?"
"I don't have any feelings, just play. My sister is better at piano than me, and I'm better at violin."
When Amami Nanamigetsu said this, Sakakihara looked at her delicate little face and perfect lines. Her face turned slightly, and her neat and beautiful eyebrows appeared in front of her eyes again.
Her sky-blue eyes were dull and lifeless, but deep down they seemed to glow with a spiritual light.
"What are you looking at?"
"I was wondering, Nanamigyue, if you are a mouthless girl." Sakakihara Raku came back to his senses.
"Brother, do you want to use the settings on the Internet to define me? That's just a label, and labels can only generally summarize a person's personality. In reality, people cannot always be the same. Just like growing up, people will always change." Strictly speaking, Qi Mingyue is not completely three-nothing.
She does laugh—a chin-up laugh.
Sakakibara smiled and said: "Can you smile a little, Nanamigetsu? I think you will look good when you smile."
"Brother, haven't you seen enough of my sister's face?" Tianhai Qimingyue's face remained indifferent.
"The meaning is different."
"Let's go, continue to the next place." Tianhai Qimingyue shook her head, as if she didn't want to talk more, turned around and left here.
Next, Nanami Mingzuki took Raku Sakakibara to the place where they lived when they were children. The room was very clean, but it didn't feel like a girl. Then they went to see the study and the corridor where the two of them often walked.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
When everything was done, Tianhai Qimingyue took him away again, walked through three streets, and came to a commercial street with a lot of people.
Tianhai Qimingyue purposefully took him to a Western restaurant.
Sakakihara looked at the store name. It was in English but it didn't seem to be in English.
"This is it." Tianhai Qimingyue said, taking him in and specifically choosing the third-to-last seat by the window to sit down.
The western restaurant is very old-fashioned and decorated with fir wood. When we sat down, a waiter in a tuxedo vest brought two desserts to the table and asked them what they wanted to eat.
Seven Bright Moons in the Sky: "gratin
dauphinois,tartine."
Sakakihara Raku doesn't understand, this is not English.
After ordering the meal, the waiter asked him thoughtfully about his needs, but Qi Mingyue refused.
"Why do you suddenly want to eat Western food?"
"Brother, aren't you hungry?"
"Just a little bit."
What Raku Sakakibara wants is to go back and cook for Kuruuri and A Ling. It is better for the family to eat together.
It’s much more lively when it’s hot.
But when the waiter served the meal, Sakakibara looked at the butter fried bread and cheese baked potatoes in front of him, and he was stunned.
Isn’t this the dish you cooked for Jiuliuli yesterday?
Although there are differences in the ingredients, overall, there is no difference.
Tianhai Qimingyue stared at the rain outside for a while, picked up a spoon, looked at the baked dishes in front of him that smelled like potatoes and sausages, and said:
"In the past, when my mother took my sister and I out of that place, we would always come here and order such a simple yet delicious dish when we went back.
"Because I know that I will go home soon, continue to practice piano, and won't be able to see my mother, so my sister will cherish these two dishes every time. My mother will always tell her that I like it so much.
If so, come again next time.
"It's a pity that there are very few opportunities to eat it. I have only eaten this dish three or four times. Once we were discovered by some reporters when we went out, we couldn't eat it anymore... Although my sister didn't say it, I also know it.
She is looking forward to her mother taking her there again. After the divorce, most of her mother would simply visit us and leave, and the time intervals became longer and longer. It was even more of a luxury to have such a dish."
Tenkai Nanamiyue gently raised her head and looked at Sakakibara Raku opposite:
"Now, brother, do you know why the corners of my sister's eyes suddenly glowed? And for my sister, this dish represents my mother's love and kindness to her. It was bought in the restaurant, but my brother made it with his own hands.
I don’t need to think about it to know that my sister is always watching you when you are cooking."
Sakakihara thought carefully and realized that this was indeed the case.
"I made this dish incorrectly."
"Perhaps my brother doesn't sound like he has any feelings, he just cooks. But if you think about it from his perspective, if there is a girl who unconditionally cooks for you every day, how would you feel, brother?"
"Be moved...and feel guilty for being nice to her for no reason."
"My sister has this mentality now. Although I am an older brother, because I have never had an older brother in the family, my sister does not take your goodness for granted like my sister-chan does."
......
After listening to a simple story, I finished eating simple French baked potatoes.
Raku Sakakihara and Nanami Nanami are waiting on the side of the road for the green light to turn on.
"Is it really appropriate? I'll confess my love after the game."
Tianhai Qimingyue gave an explanation: "There is an 80% chance that my sister will not respond, but based on her brother playing games with her every day and the goodwill accumulated from this incident, she will not hate or resist. If she wants to persuade her sister and
Brother, if you want to fall in love, you must first convince your sister to bypass dad... Generally speaking, we are close.
"Confession will show your attitude to your sister. As long as you persist, your sister is not difficult to defeat."
When Tianhai Qimingyue said this, she paused, looking through the tip of the umbrella and looking at the misty raindrops falling from above:
"Then, that's the end of our agreement. Brother, I don't have to make potato chips and fried rice for me every day. I usually call you to bring drinks at school. I guess you are tired of it, brother."
"Qi Mingyue is because I want to fall in love with Jiu Liuli, so... I'm in a bad mood?"
"Yeah."
"Although it's very reluctant... I still want to ask Qi Mingyue if you really have a crush on me."
"Maybe, but definitely not for my current brother."
When Nanami Nanami held an umbrella and walked along the zebra crossing to the opposite side of the street, Sakakihara could see her loneliness in her beautiful long flaxen hair and her slowly leaving back.
While looking at her tall back, Sakakihara Raku was also thinking seriously about what the so-called [big evil] is?
He is still unclear about this issue, and the [Brave Baseball Bat] he bought with 10,000 points is of no use.
However, as an older brother, he did not want to see Qi Mingyue like this at all.
Suddenly distance yourself, suddenly say you don’t need to eat what you cook, suddenly leave silently after saying that.
I obviously put the things I gave me by the table, but I told myself that I threw them in the corner...
She had already reached the opposite side and started walking along the street towards the corner.
Raku Sakakihara glanced at the red light and ran resolutely to catch up. At the entrance of the subway station, which was crowded with people, he directly grabbed her arm from behind.
The arms are very slender, and the texture when pinched is soft even through the clothes.
When she turned around in confusion, Sakakihara let go of her hand with some embarrassment.
"What to do?"
"I think the agreement between us can continue."
"?"
"But the content needs to be changed. Let's change it to, 'As an elder brother, I can unconditionally give Nana Mingzuki the potato chips and fried rice she wants to eat.' How about it?" Raku Sakakibara smiled lightly.
"...My brother who can say such things is really an idiot."
"For the time being, I'm not stupid. I still remember the first time you ate the potato chips and fried rice. Although your face has always been emotionless, you can't hide the feeling that it tastes delicious. p>
"Besides, you have been eating the potato chips and fried rice I made for several months, so it would be too strange to stop it so suddenly."
"Brother, do you want to do something unilateral to me now? I'm sorry, I have nothing to give you."
"It's not a one-sided contribution, but as your brother, I have the obligation to take care of you."
"Even for parents, their care is not taken for granted."
"Then let me put it another way, I want to take good care of you Qi Mingyue."
Seven Bright Moons in the Sky: "..."
Sakakibara continued: "Because you are my sister, and you also call me brother, I can truly feel your presence around me. I can clearly feel your breath, breath, temperament and attitude. p>
"You stand next to me. If you are unhappy all the time, I will be unhappy too. Just like I will comfort A Ling when she is sad. As an elder brother, as long as Qi Mingyue is sad, I will be there if you need me.
You can do that."
"Really?"
"That's right!" Sakakihara Raku assured.
The subway station is full of people, and the mascot of a nearby maid café is accompanying the maid with a loudspeaker to attract customers.
The rain was getting heavier at this time, and the pace of pedestrians became more hurried.
"Then I want you, brother, to say here, in front of everyone, 'I, Raku Sakakibara, a first-year student at Meitoku Junior High School, am an idiot with zero IQ and only know how to be kind to others.'" p>
"...What's in it for you?"
"It's no good, but it makes me happy."
He is indeed a little devil.
Tianhai Qimingyue: "Don't want to?"
Raku Sakakihara glanced at the cartoon mascot not far away and the cute maid soliciting customers despite the rainy season, then turned back to Amami Nanami and asked: "Do you have five hundred yen? I didn't bring any change."
Although Tianhai Qimingyue didn't know what he was going to do, she still grabbed a few coins and gave them to him.
Sakakibara walked towards the maid cafe. When the maid saw him walking in, she immediately said to him:
"Guest, guest! You can really come to my store and have a look. There are delicious omelette rice sets."
"I wonder if I could spread my hands."
"Ah? What does the guest want with my hands?" Even though the little maid was confused, she still spread her hands.
Sakakibara put the few coins that Nanamigetsu gave him just now into the maid's hand. They were about 2,300 yen.
"Guest?"
"I'd like a glass of water, and," Sakakihara pointed to the loudspeaker in her hand, "I'd like to borrow this."
"Water, and a loudspeaker, is that all?"
"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you."
The little maid was confused, so she went to the store and brought him a bottle of water. Sakakibara twisted the cap of the bottle, drank it in one gulp, then clicked it, held it in her hand, and stood on the spot where the mascot had just stood.
For small platforms, turn the amplifier to maximum.
Sakakihara glanced at the uncles, aunts, office workers, and some female students holding hands and wearing uniforms from other schools who were gathering at the entrance of the subway station to take shelter from the rain.
"Ahem..."
After trying the volume of the loudspeaker, Sakakihara put it to his mouth and shouted at the crowded subway station:
"Everyone——! Look to me! I! Want to announce something!!"
The female high school students stopped talking and playing around, the office workers stopped playing with their mobile phones, the passers-by holding umbrellas on the street, the ordinary citizens preparing to catch the subway, the mascot and the little maid just now, this whole commercial street
There were probably hundreds of people, all looking at him.
In just a few seconds, the air in the commercial street suddenly became silent, and only the sound of rain could be heard.
Facing everyone's gaze, Sakakihara took a deep breath, like blowing up a balloon, and suddenly exhaled:
"I——! Raku Sakakibara——! I am seventeen years old this year!"
"He is a first-year student of Mingde Elementary School! He also has an IQ of zero. He is an out-and-out idiot who only knows how to do good for others!"
The atmosphere of rain was fermenting in the air. Regarding his declaration of independence, people had different expressions. The female high school student found it interesting, the office worker turned back and continued to look at his mobile phone, the young people gave him a thumbs up, and the elderly were full of smiles.
Doubts.
Sakakibara Raku found that among the crowd, Amami Nanamigetsu, who was standing under an umbrella, had no expression on her face.
He repeated it loudly to the crowd:
"I, Raku Sakakibara, am a first-year student at Meitoku Junior High School——! I also have zero IQ. I am an out-and-out idiot who only knows how to do good for others!"
"Do you know? I'm a fool! A big fool!"
Huh...huh...
Finding that the seven bright moons in the sky still did not fluctuate, he took several deep breaths and shouted several times in succession against his dry and sore throat.
Until everyone lost interest and began to continue investing in their own itineraries.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the crowd gradually dispersed. Only Tianhai Qimingyue still held an umbrella and stood there, watching him shouting until he lost his strength and being asked by the little maid, "Is everything okay?"
The seven bright moons in the sky looked at him, listening to the sound of rain hitting the umbrella surface, and whispered:
"He is really an out-and-out idiot...ever since he was a child..."
