Sakakihara Raku has been a little confused recently.
At the beginning of the new semester, two adopted sisters entered the family, which seemed to bring many changes to his life.
Tenkai Kururi and Tenkai Nanimeige, two beautiful girls who are as beautiful as cherry blossoms in April, Sakakihara Raku has always wanted to get along with them as brothers.
This is a peaceful and beautiful life.
But why do I feel like a Shura field when I stay with my three younger sisters?
Thursday, the morning before the exam day.
Last night I studied until one o'clock in the morning and then went to bed.
Sakakibara held his head and looked at the ceiling in ecstasy.
The shadows of the two people are constantly reminiscing in my mind——
Jiu Liuli, who helps her with her collar, and Qi Mingyue, who likes to call her brother and argue with her.
He feels that they have taken up most of his life.
Like them?
No, it’s impossible. This is just like being a sister-in-law. It’s absolutely impossible.
I am just an elder brother, and as an elder brother, I occasionally take care of them in this family.
They are very good and good.
But Sakakihara Raku doesn’t feel like he’s falling behind them.
【People are not born great, but show their greatness as they grow】
As long as you work hard and study hard, you can make progress on your own, instead of being like that alcoholic dad who doesn't want to make progress and just drinks to drown his sorrows all day long and complains about the injustice that society has done to him.
Although the world is unfair, but as a saying goes, hard work will not necessarily be rewarded, but if you don’t work hard, there will be no reward.
A decadent life is never what I want.
Raku Sakakibara looked at the time on his phone and found that it was half past six, so he turned over and got up.
After brushing his teeth and gargling, washing his face, and walking out of the bathroom with a mouthwash cup in hand, Raku Sakakibara accidentally saw a girl with long flaxen hair standing on the balcony looking at the sea breeze.
Her back is slender, and she is only wearing a white summer dress, with a white ribbon tied around her waist swaying in the wind.
It's the sky and the sea...the seven bright moons.
Sakakibara hesitated for a moment and recognized it.
The side face bathed in the morning light has a tranquil beauty. Even though he is just standing there, facing the blowing sea breeze, it is as beautiful as a brightly colored watercolor painting.
He stopped and couldn't help but take another look at the balcony.
Wanting to know what she was looking at, Sakakihara put the mouthwash cup on the coffee table and stepped across the glass sliding door of the living room.
"Good morning, brother." Tianhai Qimingyue did not look back, but she knew that he was coming behind her.
"Good morning. Did you get up so early today?"
"Get up early to see the sunrise." The Seven Bright Moons in the Sky looked at the blue sky with a calm and ethereal voice.
"The bird returns to its roost at dusk?" Raku Sakakihara tried to pick up the next sentence.
"It's just Mu Jianqiniao. My brother is not a poetry lover, so why do you know so much and don't have any accent in Chinese?"
Sakakihara folded his hands on the balcony guardrail, looked at the Tokyo Bay harbor and said: "Everyone has a secret, and if I tell it, you may not believe it."
The Seven Bright Moons in the Sky and the Sea have not been studied in depth.
"So, does your brother like Qi Mingyue today?"
"I can only say, reluctantly."
"Barely?"
"You have a bad personality, are arrogant, narcissistic, and very petty. Apart from your beautiful appearance, you have nothing worthy of praise." Raku Sakakihara nodded and said. The so-called so-called clear-minded person probably means being like him.
An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Tianhai Qi Mingyue's mouth: "Really? But Qi Mingyue feels that on the premise of beautiful appearance, the shortcomings mentioned by the above brothers can be collectively called one advantage - self-confidence."
"Too much confidence is arrogance, which is also a shortcoming."
"Perfect self-confidence also requires sufficient strength. Qi Mingyue is quite self-aware."
"Brother, you must know that Qi Mingyue is the only girl who has worn a wedding dress for you, and you are also the only man who has touched my feet."
Why did she suddenly say such ambiguous words... Although there was no emotion in her voice.
"...It's just about taking wedding photos and bandaging your feet. By the way, why do you like wedding dresses?"
"Everyone has a secret."
Sakakihara smiled when he heard his answer just now: "After all, no girl will casually agree to take wedding photos without being engaged."
"This is not necessarily true. Before she got married, my mother wore a wedding dress and took artistic photos." Her eyes were like gems like the seven bright moons in the sky, looking at the blue sea and blue sky. "Of course, the most important question...is my brother?"
The current favorability is not enough."
"It means I can't get your answer yet, right."
"Brother has become smarter. But it would be nice if he could be smarter."
Be smarter?
Sakakibara began to understand the deeper meaning of her words.
Make yourself smarter.
With the narcissistic mentality of Tianhai Qimingyue, she probably wants to say: If you are smarter, you can barely reach the end of her.
No, absolutely impossible. This is one of the three major illusions in life.
Moreover, when Qi Mingyue took wedding photos, she was more interested in teasing herself for fun.
If you carry her back, you might gain a little favor.
But it’s definitely just a little bit, there’s no feeling of liking in it at all.
In summary.
Qi Mingyue will not like herself.
Sakakibara was happy to see that she had no intention of continuing to chat with him, so he said:
"I'm going to help you prepare breakfast and lunch boxes."
"Well, thank you for your hard work, brother." Tianhai Qimingyue still looked at the blue sky and felt the sea breeze, as if she liked this feeling very much.
In her normal state, Tianhai Qimingyue is a speechless girl with an expressionless face. If she is slightly interested, she will be secretly happy in her heart.
Keeping this in mind, Sakakibara walked back to the living room. As soon as he took two steps closer, he found a head staring at him from the wall. When he looked over, the head immediately retracted.
.
It's Ah Ling.
Why has she been peeking at me lately?
Raku Sakakihara only glanced in that direction again, then walked to the kitchen and started preparing breakfast and lunch today.
Let’s work hard for tomorrow’s monthly test.
————————
Monday after the monthly test.
In the classroom in the afternoon, the desk is piled with textbooks, the gauze curtain is blown by the wind, and in front of you are the neatly stacked lunch boxes that have just been eaten.
Students walked back to the classroom in groups from the cafeteria, talking and laughing about interesting things on campus.
As soon as the monthly test ended, everyone obviously relaxed.
Sakakibara held his face with his left hand. The breeze blowing through the green leaves outside the window rolled up the hair on his forehead. He pressed the cap of the mechanical pencil back and forth with his right hand. He was thinking about whether to try to fall in love now that the monthly test is over.
.
But love is really not something that can be discussed just by talking.
Take the initiative to confess your love?
No, no, no, I don’t have that kind of girl that I particularly like.
Just finding a random girl and confessing to her because you want to fall in love is too shocking.
Whether the other party can agree is another matter.
I don’t know why, but as I was thinking about it, I thought of Jiuliuli again.
Under the long flaxen hair, a smile as beautiful as a cherry blossom.
An indescribable feeling in his heart forced him to put down his mechanical pencil and open the notebook in front of him.
Sakakihara held up his face, staring at the blank lines of the notebook for a long time, and subconsciously turned the pen holder with his fingertips.
The breeze blows the curtains behind, and the sunlight that passes through the shade of the trees is dappled on the dark green notebook, swimming with the rustling of the leaves.
He struggled for a long time, and finally wrote the characters [天海九色熟] in cursive script on Mo Xiang's paper.
He stared at the name for a long time.
First I recalled her appearance, and then an inexplicable sense of impatience surged in my heart.
Sakakibara quickly closed the notebook.
He stopped spinning his pen, and his heart was beating as if he were sprinting 100 meters with all his strength.
He thought to himself, he was eighteen in his last life and seventeen in this life, a total of thirty-five years. Is he suddenly in love?
No, you shouldn’t have a crush.
But... the image of Tianhai Jiuliuli has been lingering in my mind. She arranged the clothes carefully when buying clothes for herself, wore short-sleeved shorts, and looked sunny and comfortable when running with her... etc., etc.
.
The right hand touches the softness of his neck.
And the faint fragrance that floated when she was close to him...
Raku Sakakihara is not the kind of person who won't admit whether he likes him or not.
He likes perfection, and he also likes perfect girls.
He began to imagine what would happen if he fell in love with Tianhai Jiuliuli.
First of all, there is a high probability that she will not agree to him because of her status.
Although she is very kind to herself, she also understands the priorities of things.
Do you like...Jiuliuli...
Mom... I just misunderstood myself and Qi Mingyue a while ago. If I suddenly tell her that I like Jiuliuli, I don't know how she will look at me.
Mom, difficulty level A
Seven Bright Moons in the Sky... A mysterious girl with multiple attributes and a fond attitude towards her sister. It must be very difficult for me to snatch her sister away.
Qimingyue,difficulty S
Sakakibara Suzu...my own sister! You don't need to tell her about your relationship at all, but because of her status as Kururi's adopted sister, she still has to take care of her.
Sakakihara Suzu,difficulty S
Uncle Tianhai's side, difficulty SSS.
Although I didn’t have much contact with this stepfather, I only exchanged a few words with him briefly during breakfast in the morning, and then he handed several people’s pocket money into my hands.
But Sakakihara Raku always feels that the top lawyer of Tokyo Asuka Firm is very dangerous.
He had never heard of a lawyer who was proficient in more than a dozen languages.
Can be called a top human being.
......
After listing all the regulations, Sakakihara Raku realized that there were so many difficulties here, it was as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Sakakihara put down the pen in his hand, looked at the several names surrounding Tianhai Jiuri, and fell into depressed contemplation.
But Sakakihara figured it out and realized that he really had feelings for Kuruuri.
He accidentally remembered Mr. Lu Xun's words.
Use it a little bit.
I probably had a secret love. I couldn't figure it out anyway, so I raised my face and turned a pen. There was no reason for this feeling. I looked sadly at the pairs of pens on the table. This one is mine, and the other one is also mine. But
After watching it for a long time, I still feel a little envious.
Sakakihara Raku understands the root of his love for Ruri.
This probably goes back to my miserable previous life and the first ten years of this life...
Even though no one has ever been able to help her share the household chores, Jiuliuli still has the same hobbies as herself, including running and archery.
The most important thing is the gentleness she treats me from the bottom of her heart after getting to know her.
No one can dislike gentle women in reality.
Because in reality, they are often the rarest type.
"Sakakibara-kun?"
"Monitor." Raku Sakakihara put down the hand holding his face, closed his notebook and raised his head, "What's the matter?"
"Sorry to disturb Sakakibara-kun's meditation."
Shui Ai still has the slightly curly short hair. Because of her petite figure, she has a very soft smile on her face: "It seems that the monthly test results have been announced. Do you want to take a look together?"
"Has it been announced? Well, let's go and have a look."
The results announcement board is in the school atrium.
Obviously, he and the monitor were not the only ones who learned that the monthly test results were released.
When the two of them rushed downstairs from the classroom, the area near the notice board was already crowded with students.
Sakakibara wanted to think about the people at the front and observed a few more times. Some were disappointed, some were happy, some had expressionless faces, some were full of despair, some encouraged themselves to keep working hard, and some encouraged themselves to keep going... It was like a scene.
A campus youth version of Riverside Scene during Qingming Festival.
This monthly test is of great significance. I heard it will affect the placement of sophomores in high school.
"There seem to be a lot of people." Shui Shuai looked at the other end and said.
Sakakihara Raku said, "There's no way, I guess it was posted not long ago. Let's go over there and stand there and wait for a while."
"Well, okay."
With no choice, Sakakihara Raku could only stand in the shade of the tree with the class leader, waiting for the people in front to finish reading before talking.
In addition, the campus legend about "Twin Beauties" has been spread throughout Mingde Elementary School.
A first-year transfer student, whose family is powerful, has a relationship with the school director, and is the daughter of a certain group...
There are countless rumors like this.
But this is normal. Meitoku Gijuku is a prestigious school since the Edo period. The students who attend it are originally rich and powerful, including daughters of ministers, daughters of corporations with assets worth hundreds of billions, and daughters of congressmen. <
/p>
Legend has it that as long as you fall in love with any one of them, you can embark on a life without any effort at all.
Who doesn’t want to be attracted by a powerful and beautiful daughter of a wealthy family?
It was a complete class leap in an instant, and the Avenue of Stars was even more exciting than Shuangwen!
Of course, the premise is that you must be good enough, otherwise the other party may not agree even if you are willing to marry.
The longer I attend school and the more I understand this school, the more I realize that Ah Ling was able to spend millions of yen to attend this school, but it would have been impossible without Uncle Tianhai's help.
The students who were looking at the monthly test rankings in front were talking about something. Occasionally, I could hear discussions about the surname "Tianhai", and they also talked about keywords such as "first" and "second".
Raku Sakakihara's eyebrows jumped.
"Tenkai-kun, is she really Sakakibara-kun's sister?" Ai Minakura stood beside him, struggling for a while, and finally asked him this question.
Sakakibara retracted his thoughts, but his eyes kept looking at the notice board, "Ah, yes, but we only met him not long ago."
"Is it a combined family?"
"That's right."
"Tenkai-san's house... no, it should be Sakakibara-kun's house. Can I take the liberty of asking what you do there?"
The squad leader has obviously heard those rumors.
"It's nothing, Uncle Tianhai is just a lawyer."
"Lawyers? But everyone says that the families of the two Tianhai classmates have a lot of connections with the school, and they are also said to be wealthy daughters of a certain group."
"These are all exaggerated rumors. But they must be related to the school, but I don't know."
Wait until the crowd disperses a little.
Raku Sakakihara led his squad leader into the crowd and started looking for his name on the first-grade list.
He is quite confident about this monthly test. How can he be defeated so easily after working hard for several weeks?!
First place, Tianhai Jiuliuli
Second place, Tianhai Qimingyue
Third place, Chida Nana
Third place, Raku Sakakihara (tied)
Sakakibara's face suddenly twitched, and his heart trembled.
Something is wrong, something is completely wrong!
It’s just Tianhai Jiuliuli, her learning skills are better than mine.
But what the hell is Tianhai Qimingyue? Isn’t she a mess at math?
Shady, definitely shady!
Sakakihara Raku, who originally thought that he could suppress Nanamigetsu by relying on mathematics, could already imagine Nanamigetsu's contemptuous face when he went to the literature club.
‘Didn’t my brother say that he can definitely get higher than Qi Mingyue?’
The noisy discussions near the bulletin board continued to be heard, and Sakakibara calmed down while looking at the cruel bulletin board.
Otherwise, I’d better not go to the Literature Club in the afternoon.
