When cleaning up the Guramba Cafe, Xiao You told Mari that he would send Jiuju Rin home, so after cleaning up the Gulamba Cafe, Mari told Xiao You a few more words and then said a close goodbye to Jiuju Rin before entering his own house.

"Well, then, I'll send you back." After Mari and Katsura walked into the house, Xiao You turned around and said to Kuju Rin. However, when Xiao You saw Jiu Chong Rin's unfinished expression, he also felt a little strange, obviously he was very excited and happy to chat with Mari before, how could he not show this expression until now? But if you think about it carefully, maybe it's because you get along too well with Mari that it's like this when you part. Because Kuju Rin lost his mother at a young age, maybe in Mari, Kuju Rin found his mother's shadow.

"Senior, well, if you send me home, then you will know where my family lives." Touching her lips, Kuju Rin lowered her head and said this under Xiao You's expression that she couldn't see her.

"Well, yes. Any questions? Hearing this, Xiao You's eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly. Looking at Jiuju Rin's appearance, Xiao You now feels that Jiuju Rin doesn't seem to show such an expression because of his separation from Mari.

"But I don't know your home, senior, isn't it a loss for me if it's calculated like this?" Seeing Jiuju Rin looking at herself with her playful and cute expression again, Xiao You wanted to laugh out loud. Kuju Rin is actually struggling with this kind of thing? This really surprised Xiao You. But if you think about it seriously, Xiao You still understands why Jiuju Rin is like this, because it wasn't long ago that Xiao You let Jiuju Rin get comfort from herself, and at this time, it's normal to want to know that person who is special to her.

Kuju Rin's words were obviously hinting that Xiao You would take her to her own home, although she would not enter the house, but it was also necessary to see where she knew the location before the door.

Now that she knows this careful thinking of Jiuzhong Rin, and as a man who knows how to be considerate of others, Xiao You will not expose this careful thinking of girls and make her feel embarrassed. Therefore, Xiao You has only one choice. In front of Kuju Rin, Xiao You walked to the door of Katsuragi's house, opened his arms and said, "This is my home." ”

Looking at Mari and Katsurama, who had just entered the house behind Xiao You, and the last name of the owner of the house written on the door number of the house, Kuju Rin was shocked by Xiao You's words to himself, 'This is my home'.

"Katsuragi!?"

"Well, do you have any doubts?" Looking at the nine-fold Rin with a surprised expression, Xiao You, who was about to send the nine-fold Rin home, turned his head and asked with some confusion.

"However, this is the Guimu family, senior, your home, shouldn't it be the Purgatory Temple family?" His eyes turned and turned on Xiao You and the door number, and although Jiuju Rin was a little hesitant, he still said his doubts in a hurry.

"Didn't Mari tell you?"

"Say what?" Hearing this, Jiuju Rin looked at Xiao You with some confusion and asked. For a while, she couldn't figure out why the problem of Xiao You's family was still involved in Mari.

According to Jiuju Rin's personality, although she won't ask directly, she will also listen to the side knock to understand it, and according to Mari's personality, she should also tell Jiuju Rin everything she knows, but looking at Jiuju Rin's puzzled look, Xiao You knows that Mari didn't tell Jiuju Rin too much about herself, especially about her family. At this point, Mari may pay more attention than Xiao You himself.

"Nothing." Waving his hand, Xiao You said to Jiuju Rin again: "This is my home, to be precise, my second home. ”

After hesitating for a while, Kuju Rin shook his head and said, "Senior, I don't quite understand what you mean. Could it be?"

As he spoke, Kuju Rin suddenly thought of a possibility. Because of this possibility, Jiuju Rin's voice trembled slightly.

Looking at Kuju Rin's expression as if he had thought of something, the corners of Xiao You's mouth raised slightly, and he said, "Kuju, I originally thought you were a smarter child." As he spoke, Xiao You gently tapped Kuju Rin's head.

Touching her head, Kuju Rin pursed her mouth and was about to complain a few times to Xiao You, but Xiao You was stunned by what she said.

"I'm the adopted son of the Katsuragi family." The palms that had placed himself on Kuju Rin's head were spread, and he rubbed her head and said.

"That is to say" Looking up at Xiao You, although Jiuju Rin had a guess, Jiuju Rin didn't want that guess to be true.

"Alright, let's go." patting Kuju Rin's head, Xiao You didn't finish his words, but beckoned Jiuju Rin to leave.

"Hmm." Hearing this, Jiuju Rin didn't continue to ask, nodded, and obediently followed Xiao You with his head down.

Although Xiao You has been a human being for two lives, Xiao You has not yet been so open-minded that he can tell others that his parents are no longer alive. If there are such people, it can really only be said that the conscience of those guys is for dogs. And now walking in front, Xiao You has a faint sadness in his heart for no reason.

There was silence along the way, and it wasn't until they walked out of the residential area that Xiao You took the lead in breaking the silence between the two: "Jiuju, if you don't show the way, I will take you to get lost." ”

However, Kuju Rin, who was following Xiao You, did not reply, but lowered his head and grabbed the hem of his clothes with both hands, like a child who had done something wrong.

Looking at this appearance of Jiuju Rin, Xiao You couldn't help but sigh, half-squatted down, Xiao You touched Jiuzhong Rin's head, smiled and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Senior student, is that really the case?"

"Huh?"

"Senior's Mom and Dad"

Hearing Jiuzhong Rin's words, the smile on Xiao You's lips was put away, and looking at Jiuzhong Rin, who was lowering his head, Xiao You responded in a deep voice.

"Why" Hearing Xiao You's response, Jiuju Rin immediately raised her head, and when Jiuju Rin raised her head, Xiao You found that tears were already brewing in Kuju Rin's eyes.

Looking at Xiao You, Kuju Rin hugged Xiao You's head.

"Senior, you must have brought back bad memories for my stupid person now, I must feel pain and feel uncomfortable now, I'm such a stupid person, why do you ask this?"

Listening to Jiuju Rin's words, Xiao You patted Jiuchong Rin's back and said lightly: "It's okay, Jiuzhong, I'm 12 years old, manly"

"It has nothing to do with age!! It has nothing to do with gender either!! Hearing Xiao You's words, Jiuju Rin raised Xiao You's face with some excitement, and she herself also distanced herself from Xiao You's head, so that she could look at Xiao You: "Uncomfortable is uncomfortable!" Unhappy is unhappy, isn't it!! ”

"Ah, that's true." Looking at Kuju Rin's clear eyes, Xiao You nodded, agreeing with Kuju Rin's statement. It is true that being uncomfortable is uncomfortable, and being unhappy is not only a bad feeling, but also a good feeling, and these feelings, as long as it is a person, regardless of gender, regardless of age, are emotional factors that cannot be ignored. If someone can be insensitive, then it can only be said that that person is no longer a real person. And now Xiao You, because of the things just mentioned by Jiu Chong Rin, it did evoke some bad memories, eleven years and eight months ago, that night, for Xiao You who could remember things as soon as he was born, it was a memory that was so deep that he could never forget. Painful memories.

"If it's uncomfortable, shouldn't you cry?" Kuju Rin, who said this, finally couldn't help but fall with tears in his eyes: "What if it's a boy?" What about the elders? If you're unhappy, you should vent it, right!? ”

Looking at Jiuju Rin, who was more uncomfortable than himself because of self-blame, Xiao You exhaled, wiped Jiuchong Rin's tears, and comforted: "Okay, Jiuchong, it's okay." ”

Hearing this, Jiuju Rin slapped Xiao You's hand away and said, "What are you doing!" People are comforting you, senior."

"But you cried before I did. If even I cry, who should comfort whom? ”

"This and this" Looking at Xiao You's slightly ridiculous words, Jiuju Rin hurriedly wiped away his tears, resisted the urge to continue crying, opened his arms to Xiao You, and said, "Come on, senior, you're welcome, today you lent me your arms, this time, it's time for me to lend you." ”

Looking at Jiuju Rin who made this action, Xiao You was also a little moved in his heart. Maybe it's because the experiences of the two are somewhat similar, that's why Kuju Rin is so touched.

"Don't worry, senior, I'm not a crybaby like you." Glancing at Jiuju Rin, Xiao You certainly wouldn't just pounce on it, and then roar and cry. It's too embarrassing to do this, especially the ordinary embrace of Kuju Rina

So, Xiao You stood up, touched Kuju Rin's head, and said again, "Okay, I'll send you home." ”

"Isn't it uncomfortable?"

"It's uncomfortable."

"Don't cry?"

"Crying doesn't change the facts."

"But"

"People, you can't always dwell on the past, this will only make people depressed, and you will only lose more."

"Well, this mother told me that Lin Zhi also told me so"

"Let's go, then." Looking at Jiuju Rin, who was in a much better mood when he said this, Xiao You stretched out his hand.

"Hmm!!" Seeing this, Jiuju Rin nodded heavily, shook Xiao You's hand hard, and responded loudly.

Feeling the strength of his hand, the corners of Xiao You's mouth raised slightly.

Under the red glow of the setting sun, a man and a woman, one tall and one short, walked forward holding hands.
