I took the Keio Line and returned to Tokyo in a few hours.
The feeling of Tokyo is indeed different from that of a scenic spot. It is bustling with traffic and has hurried and anxious pedestrians. The mirrored walls of countless high-rise buildings reflect the prosperity and radiant neon lights of this metropolis.
The sound of car horns is endless.
When leaving the station, Kanbaru Suzu jumped out and said: "Brother, did you forget something?"
“Forgot the scenic spot on your phone?”
"It's a gift! A gift! Didn't you say you would give me a gift?"
Kanbaru looked towards the seven bright moons in the sky.
Tianhai Qimingyue: "It's okay if you don't prepare. Anyway, my sister and I have never taken birthdays seriously."
That cold and distant tone also earned Tianhai Jiuliuli a silence that was almost recognized.
In fact, from the moment they left the house in the morning, Kagura Raku noticed their doubts about whether they could go out for an outing on their birthday.
For them, there is no one at home who can take them out, right?
When I was a child, birthdays were always a daily routine for the twins to warm each other at home, and there was no change from ordinary days.
Today is also their birthday, but Uncle Tianhai is still busy with work, and my mother can't come because the restaurant is in peak season, so she can only make a hasty phone call to apologize to them.
In fact, they also need care.
Kanbaru thought to himself that gifts don’t have to be given out in formal occasions, they can be presented at this time as well.
He took off his backpack from his back and took out a gift box wrapped with a blue ribbon. At the station, he handed it to Tianhai Jiuliuli.
When Tianhai Jiuliuli faced the gift handed to him by Kambara Le, he seemed a little confused...or should I say panicked?
She took the gift from him with both hands, keeping her eyes focused on the exquisitely wrapped box.
"...can I open it?"
"Ah...this," Kanwaraku felt a little embarrassed under Tianhai Jiuliuli's gaze, holding her chin and avoiding her crystal eyes and said, "I originally gave it to you, just open it as you like." p>
"Yeah."
Tianhai Jiuliuli carefully pulled open the ribbon on top of the gift box. After pulling it open, she opened the box with great caution.
Inside is a more exquisite box. Inside the box is a silver bracelet with three small and delicate lilies of the valley hanging above it.
Kanhara Raku tries to explain:
"Well... I originally planned to make a bracelet for you by hand, because I didn't know what gift to give you, so I thought of giving you a bracelet... I really don't know how to choose this thing, and I don't know you either.
Whatever style I like, I just choose a style that I think looks good... Haha, you see, I’m even incoherent when I talk..."
Kanbaru Suzu curiously leaned over to take a look at her brother's gift, and frowned: "Brother, why do you give such a crappy style?"
"Ah?"
"Have you searched online for questions like what kind of gifts girls like?"
"Search, I searched...but I did go to the store to pick the gift myself...isn't it appropriate?"
To be honest, this is the first time that Kanbaru has officially given a girl a gift (except Suzu), and he really has no confidence in what he is giving.
And she was also told by A Ling that the streets were ruined...
Can Kambaraku say that she is sad?
Do you have such bad taste?
Unexpectedly, the first time I gave a gift, my sister immediately rejected it.
Kanbaru was so ashamed that she didn't know how to face Jiu Liuli, and even said that she would give her a thoughtful gift.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"Well... Jiuliuli, if you don't like this style, I'll take it back and buy you a new one..."
"No, no need."
Tianhai Jiuliuli refused very strongly, and covered the gift again, protecting it gently over her heart, "It's okay... I like it very much, this is enough... Thank you, brother..." p>
"Oh...oh, that's it, as long as you like it."
Kagura Raku also winked at A Ling, meaning that you even said you like Jiu Liuli when you look at it! What are you talking about!
Kanbaru Suzu is not convinced either. As a girl, she certainly knows why Jiu Liuli likes the style of this necklace.
What she likes is that this is a gift from someone!
"Want me to put it on for you?"
"Is that okay?" Tianhai Jiuliuli's expression is no longer as dignified as usual, but now resembles a little girl looking forward to something, feeling happy and cherishing what is about to happen.
"This is a small thing...it's very easy."
Kambaraku came to Tianhai Jiuliuli, took the gift box in her hand, opened it again, took out the bracelet and tied it on the girl's slender wrist.
......
Tianhai Jiuliuri smiled when she saw Kamarale wearing a bracelet for herself, and Kamarale tied the bracelet for her personally.
The seven bright moons in the sky and the sea are all watching.
The whistle of the Keio Line train behind her was obviously very close, but it made her empty mind feel like an echo from ancient times.
When she saw this scene and the smiles they showed each other, she suddenly came up with the idea that they should not be disturbed.
She felt that in the sweet and harmonious atmosphere of her brother and sister, she was like an unnecessary outsider.
She standing here will only be an eyesore and prevent them from living happily.
That's right...he has long forgotten what happened before.
What he likes is his sister.
I... was just using my sister's face to quietly steal some things that belonged to my sister.
Tianhai Qimingyue suddenly saw her former self again, the sister who was praised by her mother, and the self who was kicked off the piano stage.
In fact, nothing has changed.
Nothing has changed...
The train roared at the station. With the noise of passengers getting on and off, and the sound of the announcement echoing in the station, Tianhai Qimingyue took several steps back and turned around.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Hey, where are you going?" Kambara Suzu discovered Tianhai Qimingyue just as she was about to leave.
"Bathroom."
Finally, she answered in a low voice and disappeared into the crowd.
......
When Kambaraku tied Jiu Liuli's bracelet and went to see Qi Mingyue, he realized that she was missing.
"Where is Nanamiyue?" Kanbaru Raku asked Kanbaru Suzu.
"Ah, she said she went to the bathroom."
"Are you going at this time?"
"Who knows, maybe I can't stand the two of you being so close to each other."
Although Kanbaru Suzu said this unintentionally, it sounded like the truth to Kanbaru Raku.
Even Tianhai Jiuliuli knows it well.
Kanbaru wanted to sigh...but the reality was this, he couldn't completely balance a bowl of water.
"I'll go find her."
"Brother...wait a moment."
"What's wrong?" Kagura Le noticed that Tianhai Jiuliuli seemed to have something special to say to him.
"I also want to find Qi Mingyue and talk to her."
Kagura shook his head and said: "You know Jiuliuli, in this case it's better for me to go find it alone."
"Well..."
Tianhai Jiuliuli's heart is quite complicated. She has to consider her brother, but she also doesn't want to hurt her sister...
Only Kanbaru Suzu was listening, confused, with questions in her head, what on earth are you talking about?
Didn’t Qi Mingyue go to the bathroom?
————————
Kanbaru thought it would be extremely difficult to find Tianhai Qimingyue.
Unexpectedly, I asked her a question online, and she replied that she was at home.
Kambara took a taxi back home first, walked into the bedroom, and came to Tianhai Qimingyue's room.
He knocked and the door opened.
The appearance of the seven bright moons in the sky also appeared before our eyes.
"Brother, what do you want me to do?"
"I still haven't given you a gift."
"Gift? I don't need that kind of thing." After saying that, Tianhai Qimingyue lowered her eyebrows and reached out to close the door.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Kanbaru blocked the door and said to her: "Qi Mingyue, Jiu Liuli just said at the station that she wanted to talk to you."
"Well, so what?"
Tianhai Qimingyue's reaction was much duller than Kanbaru expected.
"Okay, actually I want to talk to you...Although I don't quite understand it yet, I probably know why you like me."
"Just because I like you doesn't mean I want to pursue you. I don't want to see you now, so go away."
Amami Nanami is a frail girl. As long as Kagura Raku blocks the door, she can't close the door.
However, this seemed to be a deliberate attempt to bully her. Kanbaru did not force her and allowed her to close the door according to her wishes.
Kacha.
The door was closed by her.
"Qi Mingyue." He shouted to the closed door.
An emotionless response immediately came from inside, "Go away, I don't want gifts or your concern, you'd better pretend I don't exist."
......
In the room, Tianhai Qimingyue leaned against the door panel and held her left arm with one hand.
Kanhara Raku outside the door seemed to have given up after calling him for more than ten minutes, and there was no movement.
A long time passed bit by bit in the night sky.
She was thinking that she had thought so much and made so many determinations during the day.
I had already decided that I could go with my sister...
But after seeing that he liked his sister so much and gave her such a good gift, she couldn't help but ran away.
She thought carefully for a long time.
Why is this happening?
Finally, she came to a conclusion.
I am not liked.
Because I don’t get likes, I’m not even qualified to share secretly.
......
Yes, he has completely forgotten... He is not more important to him than the sister he likes.
I have always been using my sister’s face to steal his love.
......
Amid melancholy and complicated emotions, Tianhai Qimingyue looked out the window at the city of Tokyo under the night sky.
My really melancholy mood was suddenly broken by a foot stepping on my window.
Immediately, half of the body stood out of the window sneakily.
Tianhai Qimingyue came to the window and looked outside.
It was this guy Kambara Raku. He actually wanted to climb over from the balcony outside the living room by stepping on the concrete baffle of the air conditioner hanging in mid-air. You must know that this is the sixteenth floor, and the downtown area is below. He accidentally slipped.
You will definitely die.
The wind was very strong, and even the tone of Tianhai Qimingyue, who had always been calm, had some changes at this moment:
"What are you doing! Go back quickly!"
As if Kambaraku didn't hear what she said, he moved his other foot towards the window of her room.
"Kamihara Raku!"
Kagura Raku stepped on the window with both feet, then bent down and jumped in.
He clapped his hands and stood up.
The radiating Tianhai Qimingyue stood in front of him, and he said with a smile: "I will pull you out and give you a birthday gift. If the gift is not given out on the same day, it will have no effect——"
Before he finished speaking, he was hit in the face with a pillow.
"Idiot."
I was even scolded.
Tianhai Qimingyue seems to be very angry.
Kagura took off the pillow she usually slept on and threw it on his face. He held her hands in his arms and smiled at the obviously angry Amami Qimingyue in front of him and said:
"Don't worry, I will never fall."
"Why are you so confident?!"
"You...do you care about me?"
Then he was thrown by the pillow again. Well, it seems that these words are indeed inappropriate. Xiao Qiyue is now concerned about the safety of his own life.
"Actually, I have the skills of Spider-Man temporarily, so I won't fall."
Thrown again.
"You're still kidding!"
"..."
Kanbaru took off another pillow, looked at Tianhai Qimingyue and smiled bitterly: "It's true, I didn't lie to you."
"Idiot! How could there be such a stupid idiot like you!"
"Mainly... I just want to drag you out. If you are unhappy alone, you will stay in this mood for a long time and it will be very uncomfortable."
After Kambaraku reluctantly squeezed out these words, Tianhai Qimingyue glanced at him fiercely.
This forced him to look away, and he could only pretend to be embarrassed and didn't know anything.
However, if you look closely at Tianhai Qimingyue's room, you can see that there is almost nothing in her room except books and bookshelves. The only other thing she looks at is the violin she put in a piano case next to her desk.
This is not a room that a fifteen-year-old, ah, now sixteen-year-old female high school student should have.
A normal little girl, like A Ling, would buy herself a lot of things she likes and decorate her room beautifully.
Apart from her sister, she has no friends, and Qi Mingyue, who has almost no interaction with anyone else, probably no one will give her gifts such as girls, which results in her room having almost no other decorations.
.Kanahara Raku, who realized this through her room, couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Kanbaru looked back and realized that on Tianhai Qimingyue's desk was the "As expected of me" shark doll that he had given her before.
"Hey, didn't you say you threw the trash can?"
It's still the most conspicuous place, placed next to the books she usually reads.
"I'm talking about hazardous waste. Can you please recall it clearly?"
"Oh, that's right, then why is the hazardous waste still here?"
Tianhai Qimingyue crossed her arms, turned her head, and sighed again: "Didn't you say you wanted to take me to get my birthday gift?"
Xiao Qiyue changed the topic and sighed deliberately, pretending that nothing happened, right?
Kagura Raku felt that Xiao Qiyue was much cuter at the moment, so he followed her words and pretended to be surprised and said: "Ah? Are you willing to go out with me!?"
Then I was thrown into the pillow again.
This time my face was distorted.
"Stop pretending!"
My perfect acting skills were discovered by Qi Mingyue!
He is indeed a little devil.
Kanbaru held three pillows in his arms, smiled at her and said, "Then...can we go out now?"
Tianhai Qimingyue looked at him for a long time, and finally nodded slightly and said coldly: "You go out, I will comb my hair before leaving."
"Oh." Kanbaru walked towards the door.
"Pillows stay."
"No problem."
Kanbaru put down his pillow and walked out with a smile under the icy and cold gaze of Tianhai Qimingyue.
He leaned against her door and waited quietly for five or six minutes.
Kacha.
Tianhai Qimingyue walked out of the room. At this time, she seemed to have returned to her normal self.
"Uh... twin ponytails? The hairstyle looks a bit like the Yinglili that Xiang A Ling mentioned before."
"Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly."
"No, it's just that I was a little surprised when I saw your hairstyle for the first time."
Tianhai Qimingyue's voice was clearly holding back something, but she finally gave up and said to him again in a calm voice: "I just don't have time to comb my hair straight again. It's much more convenient to tie it up."
"It's quite cute..." In order to make his words more convincing, Kambara looked at her and nodded.
This made Tianhai Qi Mingyue almost unable to bear it anymore. She stretched out her hand and twisted the flesh on his waist: "I told you, stop talking nonsense, stop talking nonsense, why don't you listen?"
"Ehhhhh——"
Every time she pinches herself, she inevitably twitches her face.
That really hurts!
"Okay, okay," Kamigaura twisted her face and agreed repeatedly, trying to get her to stop, "Let's go quickly, let's go quickly."
Alas, such a fierce and cold woman.
Who dares to marry her in the future?
Kanbaru couldn't help but sighed in his heart.
Go out and walk on the street.
The night wind was caught together with the wind from the passing vehicles on the roadside, and was greeted by the colorful neon lights of various fashionable shops.
Tianhai Qimingyue raised her eyes and glanced at the back of the figure walking in front: "Did you call my sisters and the others too?"
"Ah? No," Kanbaru walked to her side and replied, "I am giving you a gift alone. They have been shopping for another day, and they must be tired, so I didn't call them."
"..."
Tianhai Qimingyue said nothing, but followed him quietly.
Soon, Kambara took her to an optical shop. The clerk obviously knew Kambara, and when he walked in, she took out a small box that she had prepared before.
Open it, and inside is a pair of gold-rimmed glasses that are very similar to the frames Tianhai Qimingyue used before.
"You're just going to give me this?" Tianhai Qimingyue picked it up and looked at it for a few times.
"Well," Kanbaru returned to the previous situation when giving gifts, "I heard from Jiuliuli that your glasses have been used for several years, and you have been holding them closer and closer to your books recently, so I thought of giving them to you.
Get a new pair of glasses..."
The seven bright moons in the sky have only one look: stare.
Kambara was staring at her and felt scared: "Hey, don't look down on me. These frames are very expensive. It seems to be made of some different metal. It's light and beautiful... and I paid for the inside of the frame."
I asked the master to engrave characters. For such a small frame, one character costs 50,000 yen! So, I carved two, you see."
Tianhai Qimingyue followed the place he said, picked up the frame and looked at it, and there was indeed the word "July" on it.
"Who asked you to carve my nickname?"
"Ah? Can't it?"
"No."
Probably the nickname [July] has a very shameful meaning for Qi Mingyue, so she has never been willing to call her July.
Kagura Raku can probably understand the meaning of this kind of title.
If you call her [July] outside, it is equivalent to calling her [little baby] in front of outsiders.
For Tianhai Qimingyue, who has always only manipulated others, it’s strange that she doesn’t feel ashamed!
But Qi Mingyue's shame is different. She will definitely kill you with a gaze that is cold enough to kill you.
And declare someone's death in a physical sense.
"Forget it."
"Hmm? Did you accept this gift? How do you feel?"
It's hard to tell whether she's happy or unhappy on her face.
"I have to do it reluctantly, but as a gift, I still accepted it."
"Oh." Kanbaru Raku wanted to see what her expression was like, but unfortunately, he couldn't see it at all.
The clerk at the optical shop smiled and took Tianhai Qimingyue to get lenses. Compared with before, her prescription was indeed a little higher, but because she had maintained her habits well, the increase in prescription was not too obvious.
For her, the previous frame was just worn out.
It only took a few minutes to get the lenses, but Tianhai Qimingyue discovered that Kamararu was missing at this time. The clerk who received her explained in a normal manner that the gentleman had gone to the toilet.
He also smiled and asked if you were boyfriend and girlfriend.
For this kind of question, Tianhai Qimingyue will only choose to respect the facts and answer no.
The clerk looked very surprised.
What’s so surprising about this?
......
When the spectacle lenses were put on the frames and the new glasses were officially completed, Tianhai Qimingyue put them on and tried them on.
"Are you okay?"
"It's okay, just get used to it a little bit."
I felt a little dizzy when I put on my new glasses, so I had to stand up and walk around.
Where did that guy Kambaraku go?
However, not long after Tianhai Qimingyue put it on, he was stunned when he walked out of the store.
Because she saw this guy Kanbaru staggering around and picked up a life-size shark doll.
"Happy birthday, July."
He poked out the smiling head from the side of the shark's white belly.
......
The sky-blue eyes of Tianhai Qimingyue reflected his appearance, and also reflected the pedestrian street behind him and the bright lights of the clothing store opposite.
She didn't speak, just watched silently.
He did give himself...a gift...
A birthday gift only for myself...
Kambara still couldn't tell whether she was happy or unhappy on her face. She just looked at it with her usual emotionless eyes...
Kanbaru felt a little nervous again.
You really don’t like it, do you?
Probably not...she said the shark doll I gave her last time was harmful garbage, but she still keeps it.
But when I think about it carefully, it’s really embarrassing to give such a large doll on the street.
No, A Ling is here and she will definitely scold herself for being old-fashioned again!
Although it is indeed quite old-fashioned...
"Uh... that, if you don't like it, I'll throw it away?"
"Who said we were going to throw it away..."
Kanbaru was happy to see that she finally took it, and whispered: "Didn't you say that dolls are harmful garbage to you..."
It was only when Kambaraku raised his head again that he realized that he was wrong.
Because Tianhai Qi Mingyue was hugging the doll tightly at this time, her beautiful cheeks were pressed deeply against the shark's white belly, her eyes were half closed, and because of the white light in the optical shop, her eyes reflected a bright luster visibly to the naked eye.
.
Not as indifferent as usual, nor as emotionless as usual.
And like a little girl, when she gets something precious, she has an air of love and cherishment.
So cute...
At this point, it seems that whether it is her uncharacteristically styled double ponytail hairstyle or the way she buries her face in the shark's belly, everything has become extremely cute.
She is very beautiful to begin with, and her posture makes people feel heartbroken and loving.
The current Qimingyue is so cute...
He had to repeat it a second time in his mind...
Kagura Raku suddenly found himself in front of her and became at a loss as to what to do.
Even his voice changed accordingly.
"Um... do you like today's gift?"
After a long time, he got an almost inaudible reply.
"...like it."
Like...
It's completely different from usual, and it sounds like a voice full of emotion.
Kanbaru was so stunned that he didn't even have time to think about it. He couldn't see her face hidden by the shark doll at the moment. He didn't know what kind of expression she had, but from her voice, she felt that her mood at this time was very different from usual.
Same.
"Oh, that's good...I bought you a random shark doll before, and you were indifferent to me for several days. I thought you really didn't like it...I planned to give it away today.
I don’t have any confidence in the gifts.”
"I...like it very much..."
The girl replied quietly, although there was a cold wind blowing in the street at night, Kanbaru felt that his body was getting warm inexplicably. He looked at the night sky inexplicably, breathing the hot air in his mouth inexplicably, and put his hands on his back inexplicably.
Haha... Why do you feel like smiling even though you are so embarrassed?
How strange.
Finally, after the atmosphere calmed down for a while, Kanbara scratched his head in embarrassment and continued:
"Then... you like it..."
Strictly speaking, Kanbaru did not finish this sentence, because he accidentally saw the profile of Amami Qimingyue, who had her hair tied in twin tails and was holding a shark doll.
She only left one eye open for herself to see. When she raised her eyes, the surrounding lights seemed to be reflected by her bright and moist eyes, which reflected light spots of various colors. She was beautiful, cute, and innocent...
can be used to describe it.
Half of her face was hidden under the shark's belly, and the way she hugged the doll tightly was so cute that it felt like something was burning in her heart.
It makes people want to cover their chest tightly and try their best to contain this inexplicable touch.
Too foul...
Tianhai Qimingyue looked at her with such a pair of eyes. Even though there was a dark night behind her and there was no dazzling sun, it was still difficult for Kamigahara to look directly at her.
This is completely different from the usual Qi Mingyue.
I really wanted to see her like this again...but I was stopped by the indescribable feeling in my heart.
In such a long, seemingly endless, strange and hot torment, Tianhai Qimingyue hugged the birthday gift he gave her tightly. She lowered her eyes slightly, and Kambara also received a sound from her that she had never heard before.
