[Tian Nai, tell me, my brother is so mean this morning. Why am I doing this?]
On the night of the second day of the sports festival, after taking a shower, Sakakihara Suzu lay on the big bed in the bedroom and chatted with Sakai Chitano about what happened this morning.
The message was answered quickly.
[...Maybe Sakakibara-kun just feels a little embarrassed to be held by Suzu-chan like that...?]
Sakakihara Suzu pursed her lips, twisted a biscuit on the bedside table and put it into her mouth, then turned around and typed a reply:
[It doesn’t feel right... Brother, he’s never been like this before.]
[... Suzu-chan was... angry this morning?]
Sakakihara Suzu hesitated for a moment and continued typing.
[...It's still a little bit, after all, so many people were watching, and he even shook my hand... It's just a pair of shoes, if you don't give them, you won't give them...]
well...
Sakakihara Suzu put the mobile phone she was holding in her hands on her stomach and stared at the ceiling blankly. She put her head in her hands and really couldn't understand why her brother was suddenly being mean to her.
However, what happened recently was extremely complicated, and she couldn't understand it at all.
Gu...
Tossing and turning, my stomach made a sound.
hungry...
I reached out to pick up the biscuit I just had and finished eating it.
Sakakibara Suzu covered her stomach and looked at the time on her phone. It was half past nine in the evening. Her expression suddenly seemed to be breathless.
Brother, I don’t want to cook anything for myself.
So... we can only order takeout?
...
"It seems that this is the only way."
Suzu Sakakihara opened her mouth in displeasure, opened the takeout app, and ordered two pieces of pizza to be delivered.
She was really hungry during the wait, so she got out of bed and planned to go to the refrigerator in the living room to look for something to eat.
"Ha~~just go to bed after eating-"
Yawning, as soon as he opened the door, he kicked something.
Sakakihara Suzu looked down and saw that it was...a shoe box?
It has a very trendy design pattern and red and blue colors, which looks super cool at first glance.
"Huh--"
Suzu Sakakihara picked up the shoe box, shook it and looked around, and then saw a printed sticker with black characters on a white background indicating the length of 23cm on the side of the shoe box.
One look at the shoe size and she knew who put it here.
new shoes?
The melancholy expression on Suzu Sakakihara's face suddenly brightened, and she held the shoe box and read it faster.
"What...someone is being mean and giving me gifts at the same time. He is duplicitous. Sure enough... he still can't let me go."
Sakakihara Suzu said these words angrily, opened the seal of the shoe box, and took a look at the shoes inside.
Mixing blue and red, these shoes are super cool and trendy at first glance.
"Wow~ looks good!"
Sakakihara Suzu smiled even more and couldn't wait to take out her shoes and put them on. Then she returned to her room and stood in front of the full-length mirror. She was scissor-hands and put her hands on her waist to pretend to be cooler.
After admiring my new sneakers with satisfaction.
Sakakihara Suzu immediately felt that her brother understood her and knew what style she liked.
Although he has been very strange lately.
I was still cruel to myself in the morning, but for the sake of this gift, it is not unforgivable.
By the way, where is my brother?
Sakakibara Suzu walked out of the room and looked left and right in the living room, balcony, and bedroom, but she didn't see Sakakibara Raku's shadow.
"Are you playing ball with Yuki again?"
Sakakihara Suzu went back to her room and put on a coat, casually picked up a short skirt and put it on her waist, and took the elevator downstairs.
Go to the nearby basketball court where yuki has been going to recently.
But I only saw Tianhai Zhixue practicing basketball here alone.
"happy?"
Tianhai Zhixue was wearing a white short skirt and short sleeves, and her hair was tied back into a ponytail. She was holding a basketball and her figure was very slender.
Compared to the past, her appearance at this moment showed a more neat and heroic spirit of a girl.
"Have fun at home," she replied.
"He's not at home."
Seeing that Yuki didn't know anything, Suzu Sakakihara immediately took out her mobile phone, found the contact and called her brother.
The phone is connected,
Sakakihara Suzu chatted for a few words, found out where he was, and then hung up the phone.
Tianhai Zhixue blinked: "Where is the joy?"
Sakakibara Suzu put the phone back into her pocket, "He said he was blowing the night breeze on the edge of Tokyo Bay. I'll go find him right now, yuki, do you want to come with me?"
After Tianhai Zhixue thought for a moment, she held the basketball and shook her head, "I can't. If everything is fine, I will continue to practice basketball. Today's task has not been up to standard."
"You really worked hard... Well, I'll go find him. Zhixue, remember to rest early. We have a competition tomorrow. It's best to keep your spirits high."
"Um."
After waving goodbye to Amami Nozuki, Sakakibara Suzu randomly found a taxi and went to the location of Sakakibara Lefa.
Ten minutes later, there was a small park next to Tokyo Bay.
It was a bit dark late at night, and there were only a few passers-by walking through the park.
Sakakihara Suzu remembers that she came here last time to visit Sister Qiyue.
So she stood on tiptoe, stood in the park, looked ahead, and found the way there.
Passing through a small forest, Suzu Sakakihara saw Raku Sakakihara sitting on the edge of the bay.
"What are you doing sitting here?"
The sea breeze is slightly cool, but the lights on the other side are still bustling.
Cruise ships with flashing advertisements...move between the bays.
Raku Sakakihara was sitting alone on the shore, with his legs hanging outside. There was a Honda CBR motorcycle parked next to him, and some aluminum cans were piled up in a mess on the right side.
...
Sakakihara Suzu sat down next to him curiously.
"Why are you here sitting here?"
Sakakihara knew who was coming here without looking back, "Blow the wind, the weather is too hot."
"Wouldn't it be cooler if you turned on the air conditioner at home?"
Sakakihara Suzu sat next to him, with her legs hanging outside like him.
He picked up the empty can he had set aside and used the light from the other side reflected on the water to clearly see the word "beer" written on the can.
"Beer, beer?"
Sakakihara Suzu frowned and turned her head to ask him:
"You...why are you still drinking?"
"Drink if you want." Sakakibara took another sip.
"Brother, you are not yet over 20 years old. Drinking is against the law!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sakakihara slowly picked up the can and put it to his mouth, his eyes reflected the fireworks of the city on the other side, "No one knows anyway."
"...No one knows what it means anyway. Breaking the law is breaking the law. Be careful, I will call the police and let the police lock you up!"
"Then you call the police."
"..."
Sakakihara Suzu knew that her brother was being emboldened and was sure that she would not call the police.
Just because she didn't call the police didn't mean she was helpless.
"Then I'll drink too!"
Suzu Sakakihara reached out to grab the beer in his hand, but was stopped by a pair of hands that suddenly stretched out.
If you follow your head and look up, you can see Sakakibara Raku's faintly turned face:
"You are not allowed to drink."
...
The sea breeze blew the hair of the brother and sister at the same time...
"What do you mean I can't drink!"
Suzu Sakakihara went to grab them again, but Raku Sakakihara snatched the two cans and put them on his other side.
This time Sakakihara Suzu had no choice but to sulk:
"Brother, you can drink it, why can't I?"
"You are still a child."
"What a kid! You are only two years older than me, okay?"
Suzu Sakakihara was unhappy when she suddenly laughed, "Brother~~ If you don't let me drink, are you caring about me?"
"..."
Sakakihara Raku didn't answer, he just faced the sea again without looking at her.
"Brother!"
Sakakihara Suzu quietly moved her buttocks with her hands on both sides, then stuck her head out, blocking his sight with a smile and surprise.
"Don't try to hide from me! I will find you wherever you hide."
Sakakibara closed his eyes and said, "I'm not allowed to drink unless I say you're allowed to drink. I'm your brother. Just listen to me."
"You know now that I am your sister! She was so fierce in the morning... Oh, by the way," Sakakihara Suzu smoothed the hem of her skirt on her legs, her smile became even prettier, "The pair of shoes I left at my door at night were
Brother, you let it go."
"...Yes." Sakakihara paused for a moment.
"Hehe! Duplicitous Onii-chan, if you want to apologize to your sister, just say so. I will accept it...even though I'm not that angry in the first place."
Sakakihara Suzu raised her legs at the same time and showed him her new shoes, "Look, I'm wearing my new sneakers now. I'm really not angry with you."
"Um."
Sakakihara Suzu stared at her brother's side face, then glanced at at least nine empty cans beside her, thinking that he was probably drunk, "Brother, why... why did you say that to me in the morning?"
This time Sakakibara no longer dealt with it casually, but after drinking another can of beer, he explained:
"Do you remember what I said to you before?"
"Want to be independent?"
"It seems that you still remember. That's right. My original intention is to hope that you can be more independent and don't always come to me to act like a spoiled brat. That's why I said that."
Sakakihara Suzu retorted and added in a cute voice:
"But you are my biological brother! We have grown up together for more than ten years. If I don't act coquettishly on you, hey, who am I acting like a coquettish person to? And this morning, brother, you really went too far."
"I know... I went too far. You can think that I have been too free recently and can't hold it back."
"How about you apologize to me?"
"sorry."
"Okay! I, the angel, have great mercy and forgive you!"
As Sakakihara Suzu spoke, she suddenly took out a box of takoyaki from behind her back.
"Jiangjiang~~Light snack!"
Then he waved it in front of Sakakibara Raku.
"I bought it when I saw it on the street. Does it smell good?"
"fragrant."
"Well, brother, do you want to eat?"
"Feed me."
"Okay! For the sake of buying me new shoes and apologizing to me, I will love you for a while and feed you."
Sakakibara Suzu inserted a takoyaki and fed it into Sakakibara Raku's mouth, and he bit it down.
"Is it delicious?"
"Just average, a bit old."
"That's right, the food you make is not as delicious as my brother."
However, this experience is still quite novel for Sakakihara Suzu.
Feed my brother food.
It's just that no matter how many pills she feeds, Raku Sakakihara always has the same expression.
"...Brother? Not happy?"
"Unhappy? What am I unhappy about? There is nothing unhappy about me now. I drive alone every day, and I usually play basketball in school and there are countless people following me. Why can't I be happy?"
"But you just don't look very happy now." Sakakibara Suzu put the takoyaki into her mouth and said while eating.
Sakakibara did not respond directly, but turned around and suddenly smiled: "It's better not to talk about me, but to talk about you, Suzu. When can your concert start?"
"Concert? I'll do the math."
Sakakibara Suzu put the transparent plastic lunch box on her lap and counted on her fingers, "About... in two weeks, there is a chance."
"Two weeks?"
"Well, what's up?"
"It's pretty good. Ah Ling, do you want me to go see it?"
"Why don't you want to? Brother, if you come to see me perform, of course I welcome you."
"I see."
Sakakihara laughed suddenly again, "This time you're not like before, where you risked your life not to let me watch you work?"
"...That, that was before, was it good before..." Suzu Sakakihara looked slightly embarrassed, but quickly recovered, "I used to think that the things I dubbed were so shameful, and I didn't have the shame to let my classmates and family see them.
"
"What now?"
"Now...hehe, Onii-chan~~~"
"Stop it."
Sakakibara stretched out his hand and blocked her mouth, and Sakakibara could only scream.
"Don't call me with that voice."
And then let go.
"Tch~ If you don't listen, someone else is paying me to record a segment."
"A fan?"
"That's right. Out of nowhere, he sent me a private message on Twitter and said that he could pay 20 million yen and let me shout out alone. Oh my, it's only 20 million, I don't care!"
Sakakibara only saw his sister's proud look, "You don't even consider that this is a liar?"
"Liar? Really? I never thought about that."
"..."
Raku Sakakihara was speechless. "You are really innocent. Remember in the future, don't be deceived. Now that you are somewhat famous, you have to be careful about kidnapping."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Okay, okay," Suzu Sakakihara waved her hand to reassure him, "Anyway, the identity behind me now is also the third lady of the Amami family. Yoshihara-senpai has said it, the whole of Tokyo
No one dares to touch me, and you don’t have to worry about any unspoken rules in the industry that can come against me, they don’t apply~”
Sakakibara looked at her for a few more seconds, then looked away, as if he suddenly felt relieved, "That's right, now you have a lot of people taking care of you, Suzu."
"Brother, you talk like a mother again~ Wow~~"
"After all, I am half your father, do you understand?"
"Who wants to admit that you are half of my father? You are my brother. You are my brother. Even if we are not related by blood, you are still my brother."
"What nonsense are you talking about..."
"So, don't be unhappy! I'm not even angry with you. You have such a lovely sister and why don't you smile? Otherwise, I would be really angry!"
Sakakihara Suzu raised her fleshy face.
Seeing his sister's bulging face, Raku Sakakihara smiled again.
I don’t know how many times we have had this kind of ordinary, yet warm brother-sister chat over the years...
Every time he sees some children playing alone, Sakakihara Raku will be happy that he has a sister who likes him to accompany him.
The girl is also growing taller and taller with the passage of time, becoming capable of her own, and able to live in this society...
good...
It's really gratifying.
Raku Sakakibara drank the last can of beer in one breath, raised his knees and stood up.
He faced the bay and opened his arms.
After stretching, facing the night view and evening breeze, enjoying the remaining coolness of the night...
"Aling."
"Hi! Here, brother."
"How was the basketball game today?"
"32 went into 16. After all, there are many women's basketball teams. With our strength, we will definitely win. In the five-day sports festival and the finals on the fourth day, sister Yuki and Liuli are so strong. To be honest, I also have
I am confident that I can win the championship~”
"That's good."
"Brother, just relax and don't be unhappy. I'm really not angry with you."
"Ok, I know."
"Then now - shall we go back?"
"Go back, but..."
Raku Sakakihara turned his head and looked at the Honda cbr400rr parked aside. Suzu Sakakihara quickly followed suit.
"I'm drunk. I definitely can't ride my motorcycle back. Ah Ling, please take me."
"Shall I take you? My driver's license does not allow me to drive a motorcycle with this displacement. And I don't wear a helmet."
"fine."
"This is illegal!" Sakakihara Suzu tried to emphasize.
"It's a small matter. Anyway, if you're caught, the police will give you a few verbal criticisms. You can't drink and drive because it's too dangerous. And..."
Sakakibara looked at his sister with short shoulder-length hair and eyes that had a bright light even at night.
"In all these years, I have never been led by you, Aling."
Sakakihara Suzu was stunned for a moment. Brother's words went directly into her heart.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I... was indeed taken away by my brother.
Whether it's taking public transportation, whether it's playing out, whether it's studying, whether it's in elementary school... the bicycle my brother rode when he went to school with me...
It's all my brother who takes me...
"How about it, Ah Ling, take me for a while and let me sit in your back seat."
*
Honda cbr400rr is an imitation racing motorcycle.
As the name suggests, it is a motorcycle that imitates a racing car.
The handlebars are low, the seats are low, and only the rear seats are on the high side.
Suzu Sakakihara put on her brother's motorcycle helmet, got on the motorcycle, turned on the car key that had been inserted in advance, and the engine started to roar...
Putting it into neutral, Suzu Sakakihara tried to pull the accelerator. The sound of the engine made her face full of novelty:
"As expected, brother, your car is very exciting to drive. The pedal I drive is like a little sheep."
"It's just a 400-displacement car, not much bigger. Just hold on tight, I'll take the seat."
"okay."
Sakakihara Suzu held the handle with both hands and waited for her brother to sit on the tail seat.
Before she could think of more ideas, Sakakihara Raku was behind and took the initiative to hug her waist.
Sakakihara Suzu had never been treated like this before, and her expression immediately froze.
The body also became stiff.
"Brother...brother...brother..."
"Why? You can hug me from behind, but I can't hug you?"
"..."
Too...
But being held like this...how...how could such a thing have ever happened!
Boom.
The helmet on Suzu Sakakihara's head was knocked.
"Hey! Why are you hitting me?"
"Don't think about it. I'm drunk and need a place to lean on. Your back is pretty good. Just concentrate on driving."
Need a place to lean on?
And isn't this place your own back?
Sakakihara Suzu couldn't help but laugh.
Now, the elder brother who has taken care of me since childhood has to rely on himself.
This feeling...
This feeling...
Super cool!
At this moment, Sakakihara Suzu felt like she was the most useful one among the siblings, and there would come a day when she would let her brother rely on her.
This surging mood prompted Suzu Sakakihara to tighten the clutch and turn the accelerator.
"Humph, since you said so, brother, then, as a reliable sister, I have to meet your request once, so hold on tight! I don't care if I get rid of you!"
"Slow down - click...hey!"
"Alas--!!"
Before Raku Sakakibara could tell her to drive slower, Suzu Sakakibara released the clutch with her left hand, and the motorcycle under her butt suddenly gained momentum and launched off in an instant.
Raku Sakakihara was almost thrown off the tail seat and had to hug the waist of the girl in front of him.
"Brother! Is my waist too thin?"
"You bastard girl, how could you ask your brother such a question!"
"Hey, hold on tight, bro, let's take off!!"
...
The wind at the edge of the bay began to howl.
Two rows of street lights extending to the street flashed by one after another amidst the roar of the engine.
The lights on the road are a little dim.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Sakakihara Raku silently looked at the back of his sister in front of him in the somewhat blurry light and darkness...
I have many thoughts, but only emotions remain.
Really...has grown up.
She is no longer the little girl who only cried in front of herself...
Start to stand alone, start to have your own thinking...
The most important thing is that she no longer needs to rely on herself.
With her own career and her own achievements...
"Old-brother!"
The wind noise was a bit loud, and Sakakihara Raku could only hear the outline of her voice.
"what!"
"Won't you enjoy it? Do you want me to take you for a ride outside? I'll give you a beer to wake you up!!"
"up to you!"
Well.
Sakakihara Suzu had never experienced this before. She wished that she could spend more time together like this, so that her brother could hold her in his arms like a little brother.
As soon as she heard her brother's response, she immediately drove the motorcycle to other areas.
one kilometer.
Two kilometers.
Eight kilometers...
Thirty kilometers...
I drove all the way from Minato City to Chiyoda, feeling the echo of the night and wind around me...
When I got hungry while driving, I told Yuki that I would go home later and found an ordinary shop to sit down and eat.
It wasn't until two o'clock in the night, after finishing a full meal, that the two of them were satisfied and wanted to go back.
Raku Sakakihara's mood improved a lot because of her initiative and energy.
...
"Where does this come from?"
"Ha~ who knows." Raku Sakakihara began to urge, "Let's go quickly. If you don't sleep too late, the game will be over tomorrow."
"Oh oh oh, okay. I'll be the one to drive this time!"
"Okay, okay, you drive it."
"Hehe, brother, please hold on tight, I'm afraid you'll fall."
"Just drive slower."
The two immediately got on the motorcycle, set up the navigation on their mobile phones, and started to go home.
...
"Brother."
"What are you doing again?"
"Seriously! I really like taking you like this, it feels so good! I will remember this feeling in the future! I will definitely take you to experience this feeling again!"
"..." Sakakihara suddenly didn't respond.
"Brother, remember! I will have a concert in two weeks, you must come and see it!"
"Let's talk about it when the time comes."
"Hey, I don't care anyway. Also, why are you going out to drink alone today? Are you really unhappy about something?"
"Come on, go home quickly and stop talking. I'm so sleepy. Remember to play the game well tomorrow."
"okay."
*
Early the next morning, it was the third day of the sports festival.
Raku Sakakibara went out of his way to watch Suzu and Yuki play basketball.
...There is actually nothing to say about these games. The opponent is not a match for them at all, but they have some strength.
The competition between several players is not as simple as it was in the past two days.
But there are definitely changes.
That's A Ling, Zhi Xue. The more he plays, the more confident he becomes, and the more he plays, the better he excels.
Every time they score a goal, they seem to be filled with light, inspiring all the students present with their sweat mixed with beauty and confidence.
And couldn't help but applaud vigorously when they tried their best to win the match point.
Coupled with Liuli's outstanding strength, Tianno's cooperation and Tianhai Qimingyue's serious attitude on the field.
Their team...instantly entered the toughest competition...
