Chapter 66: The smelly old man is the most annoying!
That night, the Sakakihara family.
Tuk Tuk...Tuk Tuk...
Sakakihara knocked on the door twice and asked the person in the bedroom:
"A Ling, do you have any clothes to wash?"
After waiting for a few seconds and receiving no response, Sakakibara opened the door and walked in.
Suzu Sakakihara was sitting at her desk wearing headphones, scratching her head over a pile of math problems.
She thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so she simply hugged her legs and squatted on the stool, with her head and chin between the two knees, looking at the obscure mathematical problems in front of her like Hegel's philosophy with a distressed look on her face.
, rocking back and forth.
"Should I go to my brother and ask?"
She muttered softly, and suddenly found a hand knocking on her side.
Sakakibara Suzu raised her head sideways and found that it was Sakakibara Raku. She took off her headphones with both hands and hung them on her thin white neck.
"Brother, why did you come to my room?"
"I'm here to ask if you have any clothes to wash."
"Oh," Sakakihara Suzu agreed, holding her chin and thinking for a while, "school uniform shirt, skirt, two T-shirts, and a pair of shorts."
"So many piles again?"
"What? These are clothes that have only been worn for two days! I also hung them on hangers, not piled together."
Sakakihara Suzu used to like to throw the clothes she wore on the bed or in a bucket.
The euphemistic name is that it is convenient for me to find and clean, but in fact it is just lazy.
Sakakihara Suzu pointed to her white wardrobe, "Here, I've hung the laundry in a separate compartment inside."
Sakakihara Raku is too lazy to complain about why she has to hang up the clothes she wears separately.
"...You need to wash your clothes, why don't you give them to me on the same day?"
"This is it, hehe~~"
Sakakihara Suzu held her white legs with both hands and looked at him, winking at him.
So cute again, right?
However, Sakakihara Raku also knew what she meant, but he was just too lazy to move.
"Let me see who will marry you in the future."
"I'm a beautiful angel girl! Just be responsible and look pretty!"
"What about washing clothes? What about cooking? I guess you need to do housework."
"Leave it to men. Who says men can't be housewives at home? If it doesn't work, I'll find a rich man and let him hire a nanny to take care of the housework!"
This guy is really hopeless.
Sakakihara shook her head, went to the closet, and took down the clothes she said she wanted to wash.
Sakakihara Suzu tilted her head slightly, her cheeks resting on her knees, she looked at him and said, "Besides, isn't this the kind of person I am?"
"I am such a person," Sakakihara said as he put the clothes on his wrists, "but how can I take care of you for the rest of my life."
How can I take care of you for the rest of my life?
These words of Raku Sakakibara made Raku Sakakihara feel a little distracted for a moment.
When she looked at the back of Sakakihara Raku who was helping her pack her clothes, Sakakihara Suzu felt that he had been like this for more than ten years. His back suddenly became much heavier.
Sakakihara Suzu asked softly:
"Brother...after graduating from high school, everyone will be separated, right."
"Let's just go our separate ways."
"What are you going to do in the future?"
"I'm going to get into college." The clothes hanger hung on the metal crossbar and made a sound. "I want to work hard to see if I can get into Beijing University."
Sakakihara Suzu pouted and hugged her legs tighter, "Kyoto University...? Why do you want to go there? Isn't it better to stay in Tokyo?"
"My impression of Tokyo is not very good." Raku Sakakihara thought of something and his voice suddenly dropped a lot.
"I think it's pretty good..."
Sakakihara Suzu was silent for a while. She held her knees with her left hand and her shoulders with her right hand, half of her face buried in her small arms. She said to his back: "Why don't you go to Tokyo University, brother? It's no worse than Beijing University. Qing
Ying Yi Jiao is also fine, I heard that many of our seniors went there, and lastly, Waseda is also fine!"
Why is it so easy to get into college in Japan as if it’s just playing house?
This is the most important thing in life!
"These are all prestigious universities, not as simple as you said," Sakakihara turned around and looked at her sitting on the chair with her legs crossed, her fleshy face being squeezed, and smiled, "And we are only in the first year of high school now.
Why are you talking about this?"
"It's just that I suddenly remembered something...Brother, you know the heroine I dubbed, right?"
"Ah, Second Princess, I remember." Raku Sakakihara took off another piece of clothing.
"At the end of that anime, the second princess and the protagonist still separated."
"Separated? Why?" Sakakihara stopped moving.
"Because of the lifespan. The second princess is a royal, a celestial being, with an almost eternal lifespan... Although the protagonist is a brave man, he is still human in nature. The most in human history only lived less than 300 years old!
"At the end of the story, the other four sisters died of old age and left one after another... The male protagonist lived the longest, nearly 200 years old, but eventually died of old age in the arms of the still young second princess. The two of them were still talking about interesting things from their youth.
, while watching each other parting..."
"This plot must not be scolded by readers?"
"No, everyone said they were very touched. They felt sorry for the second princess and the protagonist."
"Wait a minute, aren't the hero and the five heroines brother and sister?"
"How could they be biological brothers and sisters? Moreover, the identity of the second princess was only revealed later. No one knew she was from the royal family at first."
Sakakihara Suzu lowered her eyebrows, hugged her legs, and moved toward her feet on the chair.
"It's just that I don't like the plot either. Why should we be separated when everyone is happy together? Obviously the author only needs to set it up a little and give a magical prop, so that the protagonist, the second princess and everyone can be together all the time.
Living together."
Raku Sakakibara is not an idiot, he heard that Suzu Sakakihara was emphasizing "I don't want to separate".
Of course, it also comes with some comments about the animation.
"...You want me to stay here?"
"No, no! I'm just worried that you, a stranger in Kyoto, will be bullied. And...if I go to Kyoto, I probably won't be able to see you more than once a year. Who will do it for me then?
Eat the food!"
The more Sakakihara Suzu spoke, the more anxious she became. Finally, she became incoherent and buried her red face in her arms.
"You can make it yourself and eat it," Sakakihara said with a smile.
"I don't know how. I'm a bad cook, and I always feel a bit lost when eating bento outside."
"How does it feel to eat."
"I can't explain it clearly, but it is there anyway," Sakakibara Suzu buried her face and hesitated slightly, "And in the afternoon, I drank your coffee, are you not angry?"
"A Suzu, you have changed." Sakakibara stopped taking the clothes.
"I...? What happened to me?" Suzu Sakakihara raised her purple eyes, and the light from the lamp behind her gave her whole body an extra layer of gleaming light.
"You have become so alienated that you actually asked me if I was angry because of such a trivial matter."
"But I stole your coffee." Sakakibara Suzu's eyes wandered, and she knew in her heart that it was more because Jiuliuri pushed the coffee for him to drink, which made her feel inferior to her.
As a biological sister, there is no adopted sister who cares more about her brother.
"For me, this is more like," Raku Sakakihara hugged the clothes and said to her with a smile, "It's not like this has never happened since I was a child."
Sakakihara's smile is inexplicably soft.
Sakakihara Suzu suddenly thought of the term big warm man.
Damn it! I hate this kind of person the most...
However, regarding what he said, Sakakihara Suzu could also recall many stories between the two brothers and sisters, such as buying snacks on the roadside when school was over.
Now that I think about it, this kind of guy suddenly doesn’t seem so annoying anymore.
"You forgot?"
Sakakihara Suzu looked at him with sparkling eyes, covered half of her face with her arms, and murmured in a very low voice: "I can't remember...Brother, please tell me."
"Want me to say something?"
"Hmm."
Raku Sakakihara recalled for a moment, "When I eat octopus balls, the last one is always yours; when I buy ice cream, the big one is yours; when I buy clothes, the expensive ones are also yours. There are also croquettes. I said I bought two, but
I've always only been able to eat half a portion."
The little details are swirling and fermenting in her heart. Looking back now, Sakakihara Suzu feels embarrassed.
It seems like my brother has really accommodated himself to a lot of things.
"...Brother, won't you be angry?"
"What are you doing when you're angry?"
"I robbed you of so many things."
"I have a good temper, and I don't care about those things. If you like them, I'll give them to you." Sakakihara looked at his sister hugging her legs on the chair for a while, then turned around and went out with her clothes, "Okay, I'll wash it.
The clothes are gone, and we have to chat until late at night again. After studying, let’s take a shower and go to bed early, Ling.”
There was a click.
Sakakihara Suzu's sight was cut off by the closed door. She stared at the door quietly for a few minutes and muttered:
"The smelly old man is also a tsundere..."
......
Sakakihara Raku stood at the door of Sakakihara Suzu's room, holding her clothes and staying for a while.
It's not that he doesn't care about those things, because he bought those things himself and uses them for himself...
But if every time A Ling stands next to him and says to him: "Brother, you can't finish eating anyway, give it to me!" He will be soft-hearted.
Leave it to her, leave it to her.
Make her happy, and watching her eat happily will make you feel better too.
Such thoughts keep popping up in my head.
Why do you feel like this?
If you think about it more carefully, Ah Ling is actually quite cute. When she is outside, she is very good at dressing up, and she is sunny and energetic. Although she is a little naughty, she is completely within the limit of cuteness for a girl.
You’re not a girl-controller, are you?
This idea suddenly popped into Sakakibara's head.
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
He quickly put this terrible thought behind him, went to the laundry room, and sorted out the machine-washed clothes and hand-washed clothes.
Machine washable T-shirts, hand washable skirts and white shirts.
After placing a basin of water, Raku Sakakihara dug into the pocket of her pleated skirt as usual.
Two packs of sanitary napkins, 500 yen each.
As expected of Sakakihara Suzu, there is nothing to clean up.
Throw two rabbit T-shirts into the washing machine, pour in the laundry detergent, and set a timer.
Machine washable and hand washable at the same time.
While washing clothes by hand, Sakakihara Raku felt like someone was peeking at him from behind.
Because what he saw was short hair, he knew it was A Ling.
When she was very young, Suzu-chan would squat in front of her and watch herself wash her clothes when she was doing the laundry.
With a small body and small hands on his knees, his purple eyes were full of curiosity, and he asked himself in a voice that made people feel itchy: "Brother, aren't you tired of washing clothes?"
Even if it's a Chinese textbook, she still has to run over with the book in her arms and read it to herself.
When looking for her, she would carefully poke her arm and not dare to shout. Because at that time, in her eyes, her brother was sacred and inviolable, an adult like her mother.
Raku Sakakihara remembered what happened in the past, smiled, and speeded up the laundry.
At about 10 o'clock in the evening, Raku Sakakihara took the time to review the test subjects for the monthly test.
Several books are piled on the desk, with only a desk lamp emitting orange light.
Just when he was engrossed in solving the problem, Sakakihara Suzu came to his room holding the exercise book as he had done a few days ago.
"Have you not finished writing?" Raku Sakakihara put down the pen in his hand, turned his chair and looked back at her.
Sakakihara Suzu had just finished taking a shower. She was wearing home clothes and shorts. Her face was rosy, and her short hair was still a little wet. It was obvious that she had not taken care of it carefully.
"Well," she nodded and agreed, "there are still a few big questions that I won't do."
"Then come over here and I'll continue to show you."
"Okay."
Somehow, Suzu Sakakihara was very well-behaved tonight, sitting quietly next to her, listening to the questions, and agreeing, all very seriously.
It's obviously very comforting, but it can't help but make people feel a little weird.
The last question has been solved and the time has come to 11:30.
It's said to be a few big questions, but in fact it's a few big questions for each subject. Sakakihara Raku has to spend a lot of time to calculate and verify, and then it's even harder to explain and teach her.
During this period, Sakakihara Suzu always glanced at her brother. She felt that he was very serious in explaining the questions to her, so subconsciously, she moved towards him and got closer.
"Ah~~It's done! You can go to bed now."
Sakakibara was happy to see her stop writing, and was about to get up and relax for a while.
"Brother...what happened this afternoon, were you not injured?"
"Injured? No, nothing happened at all." Sakakibara smiled and said, "By the way, Suzu is caring about me."
"I'm just caring about you, aren't I?"
Sakakibara Suzu's head suddenly turned around, leaving Sakakihara Raku unable to react for a moment.
"Qi Mingyue and Jiu Liuli are next to me in the afternoon... I don't like to ask questions, but, but, this doesn't mean I don't care about you! As a younger sister, I will still care about my brother occasionally!"
Sakakibara did not look at his sister, but looked at the pile of exercise books in front of the desk and said solemnly:
"It feels like you have a lot to say to me recently, A-Ling. But to be honest, I am an ordinary person. Except for my specialties in sports and archery, I am really an ordinary person.
"Occasionally work hard, occasionally struggle... I usually just do housework and cooking at home, nothing special.
"A-Ling, what do you think is good about me?"
Normally, Suzu Sakakihara would have complained, "What's so good about this smelly old man!".
But what Jiuliuli did this afternoon has always been in her mind.
"I, I don't know what to say, but every time I see your back, brother... I always feel like there are a lot of things on my shoulders, invisible, but very heavy."
"Do I look too lackluster like this?"
"Well, a little bit."
Raku Sakakihara looked at the night sky outside the window, smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, "It must be that I have been too busy studying recently. I am either reading or on the way to read."
"Actually, I'm too tired... Not only do I make dinner and wash clothes every day, but I also make lunch for three people in the morning."
Sakakihara Suzu's eyes were filled with light, "How about I stop making lunch for them!"
"Only for you?"
"I don't want to... I bring a bento there every day at noon, and everyone comes around to look at the bento I brought. They say things like, 'Suzuki-chan's bento is so beautiful,' Mom made it, right,' and it looks good."
Eat' words like this that are deliberately flattering."
"Maybe people just think that way?"
"Brother, you don't understand girls. Girls get together and nothing good happens. And it's too troublesome to bring a lunch box. I don't need it anyway!"
Sakakihara thought for a while and suddenly looked at her: "Did Qimingyue offend you?"
"I just think I'm too tired!" When Sakakihara Suzu said this, her tone changed from high to low.
Raku Sakakibara is now willing to believe what Suzu means when she says, "Nothing good will happen if girls get together."
Isn’t this a living example before you?
Alas, Ah Ling just said a while ago that she liked the curry rice and passion fruit ice powder that she made for her.
This strategy of losing eight hundred to oneself and one thousand to the enemy is totally undesirable.
"Actually, it's okay. Now Jiuliuli has started to help me. Although she's not very good at seasoning, she can chop and wash vegetables."
Seeing this, Suzu Sakakihara puffed up her face and said, "You must be very happy to have two more beautiful girl twins as younger sisters, right?"
"Happy?" Raku Sakakihara pretended not to know anything, "No, there are two more people, so I have to prepare more meals, troublesome."
"You're telling lies again..." Sakakihara Suzu glanced at her brother unintentionally, and suddenly stood up with a blush, "Get out, get out! I'm going to bed."
"Oh," Sakakihara Raku, who was pushed on his back by her, didn't care, "but this is my room."
Sakakihara Suzu hesitated for a moment, then clasped her hands and turned away from her face. After saying something softly, she packed up her homework and walked quickly back to her room.
Returning to her bedroom, Sakakihara Suzu closed the door with a click. After locking it, she threw herself on her big bed and pulled the quilt directly over her head.
She remembered the process of Raku Sakakihara patiently explaining the topic to her just now.
Why do you feel that the smelly old man is so much more handsome than before?
No, no, he’s handsome as long as he’s handsome, it’s none of his business!
But...
Suzu Sakakihara put her head up against the quilt, grabbed the rabbit doll on the side, hugged it and leaned against it in the corner.
There was something hard and cold in the corner of the wall, but it was this feeling that reminded Sakakihara Suzu of the moment just now.
It seems that when I was in elementary school, I could still hug my brother and tell him that I wanted him to buy delicious food for me...
Although I was poor at that time, I would use my weekly pocket money to buy myself a croquette...
Sakakibara Suzu's head became hotter and hotter as she thought about it, and finally rolled up on the bed with the quilt, her two white legs swinging up and down at the end of the bed, and her hands beat the pillow quickly.
