The air in the corridor leading to the club building is dry and cold.
Sakakibara walked through the corridor under the teaching building with his arms crossed, his mouth trembling, almost trembling.
The windows of the teaching room were closed tightly, the students in the corridor were walking in a hurry, and the dead branches and leaves in the atrium were covered with frost... It was obviously the beginning of winter, but the scenery now seemed to be brown with a strong northern style.
Raku Sakakihara touched his arms tremblingly, muttering "It's so cold," he walked across the playground, arrived at the fourth floor of the club building, and pushed open the classroom of the Literature Club.
"Hiss--it's so cold--"
The door of the Literature Department opened in response. As soon as I walked into the classroom, the warm air that was different from the cold air outside immediately enveloped my whole body.
Sakakihara rubbed his shoulders up and down, his body trembling almost subconsciously... along with it, there was a sudden strong aroma of tea.
Nanami Nanami, wearing a scarf, was sitting in her fixed position. But what surprised Sakakihara Raku was that Ruri was also here, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand. The aroma of the tea probably came from her.
"Didn't Liuli go to the club?"
"Today is Thursday." Amami Kuriuri looked at Raku Sakakibara at the door of the club with a puzzled expression.
"Thursday? Ah... I forgot that the Archery Club is closed on Thursday."
Tianhai Jiuliuli noticed his movement of covering his arms, "Why don't Lejun wear more clothes today? Are you just wearing a school uniform jacket?"
"...I didn't expect it to be so cold."
"I remember that my sister had told someone a long time ago that it was almost the beginning of winter and to wear more clothes." Tianhai Qi Mingyue calmly flipped through the mystery novels on the table and used chopsticks to pick up the Lay's potato chips on the side. As soon as she heard this
There was movement at the door and he said without looking back.
"Yes, yes." Tianhai Jiuliuli nodded in agreement.
Raku Sakakihara sighed and approached the two twin girls, and argued, "The beginning of winter is the beginning of winter. In no other year has the beginning of winter been as outrageous as this year. It's not even November yet, but it's as cold as February."
Tianhai Jiuliuli held the tea cup in both hands and looked at the ceiling: "Speaking of which, it is indeed hot and cold very early this year. I'm afraid it will snow again this year."
Although it can snow in Tokyo, snow is rare in the Kanto region.
Putting aside last year, Tokyo has not really snowed in five years. Even if the media reports that there is snow, there is no trace of snow at all.
In a daze, it’s already November.
Sakakihara pulled up a stool and sat down, then casually took the tea that Ruri had just put down to her mouth, making her face bulge with anger.
"Lejun, it's true! If you want to drink it without saying a word, there's no reason to just take it away."
"Just kidding, look, I haven't drunk yet."
"No, take it."
"What?"
Sakakibara took a closer look and discovered that there was a beige scarf in the hand that Amami Nanamiyue suddenly raised.
"This is..."
"Why, don't you recognize the scarf? Or are you losing your mind these days trying to catch up with your sister's physical fitness?"
"This doesn't happen."
At first glance, Sakakibara thought that Qiyue or Liuli had brought it to him from home, but after taking a closer look, he found that he had never worn this scarf.
And this scarf is... surprisingly ugly.
"Bought it new? Why is it so ugly?"
...
Raku Sakakibara took the scarf in his hand and looked at it. Not long after he said this, he found that Amami Nana Mingyue had taken the scarf back. When he looked at Amami Nana Mingyue opposite her again... the tea cup stopped at her mouth.
, showing a wry smile.
Sakakibara suddenly realized something... and quickly looked at Qiyue, whose expression remained unchanged.
"Sorry! July!"
"..." Tianhai Qi Mingyue withdrew the hand holding the scarf, and stopped looking at him sideways, her gaze became even colder.
"Le, Lejun..."
After Tianhai Qimingyue took back the scarf in his hand, Tianhai Jiuliuli had already warned him with a wry smile.
"...Is this...a scarf knitted in July?" Sakakihara lowered his voice and asked Liuli quietly.
"Yeah." Tianhai Jiuliuli also cooperated and responded in a low voice, "Xiao Qiyue specially learned it from me... When we were chatting last week, I mentioned that I gave Lejun a pair of gloves.
...It’s almost the beginning of winter again, and in July she was thinking of knitting a scarf for you, Lejun, before Halloween.”
...
Upon hearing this, Sakakihara Raku felt the seriousness of this matter even more.
Obviously, something went terribly wrong.
"July~~"
"What are you doing?" Tianhai Qimingyue held her beige scarf and didn't even look at him.
"Just now..."
"Just now? What just now."
"Didn't Qi Qi give me a scarf just now?"
"Scarf? Do you have one?" Tianhai Qimingyue answered lightly.
Sakakihara pulled up a stool and sat down next to her, approaching the girl with a smile, "Isn't that what Qi Qi holds in her hand?"
"Well, you are very ugly. I hate you when I look at you."
"No! I don't hate it at all."
"Then who were you talking about just now?"
"I'm talking about myself!"
There is no trace of trust on Tianhai Qimingyue's face.
After spending effort and hand-knitting the clothes, others will dislike them, and unhappiness is the inevitable result.
But Qi Qi is a very sensible person, and Sakakihara decided to explain to her seriously:
"Of course I understand Qi Qi's sincere heart, but Qi Qi's ugliness is an objective fact."
"Then don't ask for it, I'll wear it myself."
"I haven't finished talking yet. Once I know that Qi Qi specially knitted it for me, it doesn't matter how ugly it is."
While Sakakibara spoke, he secretly winked at Ruri on the other side.
Although Amami Kuruuri covered her mouth and snickered, when faced with Sakakibara Raku's request for help, she still asked for help.
"In July, Lejun did it unintentionally."
Tianhai Qimingyue didn't have too many expressions, and her tone was calm. She just held the beige scarf firmly in her hand.
"Sister, don't speak for someone. Since someone dislikes being ugly, I'll just throw it away."
His expression was indifferent, but his hands clenched the scarf tightly... Now Qi Qi was really angry.
Sakakibara hurriedly stepped forward to explain to her, but Qi Qiu was angry when she was angry. No matter how she said nice things to her, she always had an attitude of neither salt nor indifference.
Tianhai Jiuliuli was watching the show and was already laughing so hard.
"Okay, okay, stop teasing Jun Le in Qi, he is also very anxious."
After Amami Nanamigetsu heard what her sister said, she saw that Sakakibara Raku was indeed still apologizing to her, so she gave him the scarf in her hand and said, "Take it."
"...Qi Qi is not angry anymore?" Sakakihara Raku did not take it immediately.
"I don't know if the weaving is ugly or not? But I can only weave to this level now. It's up to you if you don't want to use it."
...What July said is really true...
Perhaps Tianhai Jiuliuli also noticed that her sister was tough-talking, because her smile never stopped.
"Lejun...Lejun, don't listen to what Qiyue said. She has been learning from me for a long time to knit this scarf. She doesn't even know how many times her fingers have been pricked by needles."
"That's because my sister taught me to be stupid."
"Isn't it because Qi Qi is stupid? Because when he thinks about giving Lejun a scarf or something, he becomes very serious."
...
The two sisters were quarreling, and Raku Sakakihara looked carefully at the scarf in his hand.
... Ugly is indeed ugly... but it is indeed Qi Qi’s intention.
He knew that Qi Qi had never knitted anything, and Liuli had only learned a little bit.
It took me a week to learn how to give this scarf to myself in July. It would be impossible to say that I didn’t feel anything after receiving it.
As for calling me ugly at the beginning... to be honest, I just subconsciously blurted it out at first sight.
"...Thank you July."
Tianhai Qimingyue replied calmly, "Didn't you tell me about your past experiences some time ago?"
"Um?"
"You said that no one cared about you in your previous life, so now that you are here, you pay special attention to the people around you. No one has ever been able to give you a scarf or anything like that."
Raku Sakakibara looked at Tenkai Nanami and felt a little unbelievable, "So... Qi Mingyue specially learned it and gave it to me?"
"I want you to pay more attention to yourself, idiot. You didn't pay attention to your clothes today. It's cold again, right?"
Tianhai Qimingyue saw that this guy had become stupid. After sighing, she turned around and faced him. At the same time, she reached out and took the beige scarf in his hand and wrapped it around his neck layer by layer.
Go...Finally, I reached out and pulled him, and even held his sleeves.
"My sister also said that my brother is like a child sometimes, which I think is right. But I also need to add another condition, that is, my brother will become strong when no one cares about him, and once he finds what he thinks is the true love,
When there are people who care about him, he will become weak, as if he has found a child to rely on."
...July is right about this.
Raku Sakakihara buried his face in a warm scarf, thinking to himself...probably because he had no normal childhood experiences in his entire life.
In two lifetimes, the mother herself has never had the opportunity to throw herself into their arms and act coquettishly. She is almost always alone.
So after meeting Qiyue Tong Liuli, I really like the times when they care about me and when they express their love to me.
"In other words," Tianhai Qi Mingyue withdrew her hand from arranging his scarf, placed her hands flat in front of the skirt, and stared at his thinking face with her sky-blue eyes, "what my brother lacks is love, especially maternal love."
"...How can there be..."
"Huh? Someone not only wants to call me 'Mother Qi', but even my sister wants to call me 'Mother Liuli', right?"
Sakakibara looked at Amami Kuriuri, who had been laughing, as if asking her how she could say this to Qiyue...
Isn't this just embarrassing yourself?
Sakakihara turned into a very serious expression, "... What you said in July... This is just..."
"Just what?" Tianhai Qimingyue also smiled slightly.
"It's just...a game between young lovers to express their love."
...Sakakihara Raku seems to be indifferent on the surface, but is still a little ashamed on the inside.
It's even embarrassing to think of the way I fell on Liuli's lap and acted coquettishly to her not long ago...
After all, he is also a grown man who is over 1.8 meters tall and is good at sports. Why does he look like that?
Could it be said that this is real love?
It makes people get bored unconsciously and start acting coquettishly towards their girlfriends.
Tianhai Jiuliuli covered her mouth lightly and said with a smile: "Lejun was quite cute at that time. I originally thought that Lejun only did it to me. I didn't expect that he would treat Qiyue like that...a coquettish child."
"...Don't call me that, I was just——"
Sakakibara was so anxious that he felt irritable...because Qiyue and Liuli now looked at her less like a boyfriend and more like...a gentle mother who looked at a cute little boy.
——This description is somewhat exaggerated, but there is really such a feeling in it.
In addition, my scarf was knitted in July and worn in July...
This feeling made Raku Sakakihara feel uncomfortable all over.
Obviously he is their adopted brother, elder brother, but now he makes them act like their elders.
"Just what?" Tianhai Qi Mingyue asked calmly, "Brother wants to explain that he actually doesn't like to act like a baby? Is his behavior of throwing himself into my and my sister's arms to sleep a lie?"
"I--"
"Lejun admit it," Tianhai Jiuliuli couldn't stop smiling, "When Lejun wants to act coquettishly, just tell me and Qiyue, maybe Qiyue and I will agree to Lejun acting coquettishly in front of us at the same time.
When the time comes, please pamper Lejun properly."
Can't stand it...
Unbearable!
Sakakihara Raku felt that his self-esteem had been insulted, and his face was redder than an apple.
I am a man after all!
In front of these two glamorous twins, I felt like a kept little puppy!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although it does look quite similar when holding Liuli and asking her to touch her head.
...but this time is not that time, how can the situation last forever!
Facing one of the two sisters is okay, but facing both of them at the same time is fine!
He didn't want to spend the rest of his life being teased and manipulated by the two sisters.
Sakakihara covered his chest and quickly stretched out his hand:
"Stop it! Stop it! If I keep listening, I'm going to have a heart attack... I told you, it's just... it's just a small term of endearment when you're in love. How about we talk about Halloween the day after tomorrow?
?Although the weather is a bit cold, it seems that there will be a lot of people coming out to play during Halloween in Akihabara. How about we join in?"
Tianhai Qimingyue: "I won't go."
Tianhai Jiuliuli asked curiously: "Last year Lejun said that Halloween was not interesting, why do you want to participate this year?"
Sakakibara was happy to see that the topic had finally changed, and instantly relaxed a lot, "Everyone is together this year. There is no trouble, and we can have fun together. I specifically communicated with Suzu and Yuki before coming, and they both agreed to participate.
Still very happy."
Tianhai Qimingyue is still the same: "I won't go."
Tianhai Jiuliuli selectively ignored her sister and thought about it carefully, "This year's Halloween should be quite interesting. I would also like to try it out, but the cosmetics must be bought in advance and the props must be carefully made."
"July~~Aren't you afraid again~~~"
"...I don't understand why you like these weird things so much. If you don't participate, you just won't participate."
"Well, we won't go in July, right? I'm going! A Ling and Yuki will also go then! Where's Liuli?"
Tianhai Jiuliuli responded with dignity, "I want to go!"
"Very good, then leave Qi Qi at home alone... Qi Qi actually knows, right? On Halloween, there will be many children with weird makeup coming to you and asking for candy... Then at home
You are alone again in July, and then..."
"Then Lejun secretly pulled out the power switch at home!" Tianhai Jiuliuli laughed.
"That's right, there won't even be any light in the house then, and it's Halloween night again~ July month, do you know what will happen~~"
"you--!"
"Are you going in July? If you don't go, I will pull out your wires and turn into a ghost to scare you!"
Tianhai Qimingyue opened her eyes wide and glared at someone, but after seeing the smile on his face, she understood that he was waiting for an opportunity to retaliate against her for teasing him just now...
The girl crossed her arms, turned her face sideways, and her voice became much softer:
