Chapter 22: Advice

From where Consul Li asked for the soldiers who had arrested him at that time and the army number of the person who had been reciting the scriptures, Liu Xia directly took the car they arranged and returned to the suburbs where he was. www.biquge.info At this time, the night has quietly fallen. A few stars appeared in the east, gradually increasing with the dots of starlight. The earth quietly melts into a warm night.

As soon as he closed the car door, he watched the car go far away to the second district. Liu Xia's expressionless face was faintly tired, and he went out to withdraw money this afternoon, but he didn't expect that the money was not withdrawn, but he was very embarrassed. Although the glasses are back, the cracked lenses are not worn by the ghost.

'But...... It's still quite memorable. ’

Thinking so, Liu Xia took out her glasses from her pocket. There was still a little dust on his eyes, which had not been erased from the time of the explosion.

While walking on the road, Liu Xia lowered her head and looked at her glasses. I don't know why I suddenly remembered the girl named Haiwei in the bank.

Speaking of which, that kind of girl is the type that really fits the foreigner's perception of Japanese women, right? Although the age is very reluctant, Liu Xia thought about a strange topic in her heart, while thinking of the women she had recently come into contact with. Needless to say, Shihua has always had a cold face, so that Liu Xia can't even wear a mask to speak; And her sister was still a child, not much of a woman; Others, such as Suino Guo, who is barely old enough to be the same as Haiwei, and Hua Yang and the girl whose name has been forgotten, seem to be similar.

Secretly sighing how he remembered his name recently, it was all the opposite sex, and Liu Xia came to his door to stand still.

He was shocked to find a very familiar figure leaning against the door of his house with his arms crossed.

"Bird......?" Liu Xia, who couldn't remember the other party's name faintly, said with a little doubt, because he didn't wear glasses, he could only see an outline.

"Ten flowers." The woman who called herself Shihua stood up straight from the door and walked up to Liu Xia, looking him up and down with her cold red eyes.

"Ah, it's ten flowers." Unaware of the intention of the other party only telling his name, Liu Xia secretly remembered this easy-to-remember two-character name in his heart, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

Probably only in front of this woman who is colder than himself...... I really can't help it. ’

Saying this in his heart, he asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"I want to see if you're going to get shot." Ten flowers, who decided the fate of others without realizing it at all, seemed to be saying something that was taken for granted, and her tone was full of undoubts.

Liu Xia, who was a little tired, sighed. He stepped forward, took out his key, opened the door, and turned back slightly, "Come in and sit down." ”

"Yes."

Shihua nodded.

"Why don't you hesitate for me, this kind of words that are obviously about to unfold magically will not be the kind of way that can make girls agree without hesitation." ’

Liu Xia thought helplessly, and then walked in first, turning on the light in the room with his fingers.

"It's a beautiful thing to suddenly feel like I can see the lights in my house again." Taking off the shoes under his feet and replacing them with slippers, Liu Xia took out a pair of small pink slippers from the cabinet next to him and put them on the ground.

"Your home is small enough." Shihua didn't have the consciousness of being a guest at all, and directly began to criticize: "This kind of place can actually live in people." ”

Liu Xia collapsed on the sofa tiredly, and said a little weakly: "I'm really sorry for letting you come to a zoo." ”

In addition to the entrance at the door, Liu Xia's house has only a 20-square-meter laughing living room, bed, sofa, TV, kitchen and four in one.

Shihua, who walked into the hall, glanced at the slightly messy room: "It's not a zoo, it's a refugee camp." ”

"Who made the Chinese on your TV refugees?" made a joke about the TV show weakly, and Liu Xia didn't bother to move.

"Only those who consider themselves refugees are refugees." Shika said this, and then stepped into the room. But as if she had noticed something interesting, she went over to a hanger behind the bed. The clothes on this hanger are exactly the same as those in the closet, as if they were clones of suits, and they are the only clothes that are somewhat decorative.

"What is this?"

"Ah, that." Raising his deaf eyelids, Liu Xia looked at Shihua's place: "I used to wear it, but I just brought it here to miss it." ”

Shika didn't speak, carefully looking at this unusual costume hanging on the hanger.

This is an all-over green garment, with this white lining with a tie and a suit-like jacket. On each shoulder there is an epaulette marked with two bars and three stars, while the neckline is marked with a strange gold pattern. On the right side of the chest is a badge-like thing, and on the left shoulder, up to the front of the chest, a golden silk rope is woven into a wheat ear pattern.

She observed for a moment, then turned around without saying a word, as if she didn't care at all.

Because Liu Xia went out, the house was not cleaned up. There were still empty bottles of 'Mr. Wittery' that I bought the other day on the floor, and the kitchen stove was full of solidified white flour. The quilts on the bed were stacked in a mess. In general, it is hard to imagine that Liu Xia, who usually likes cleanliness, can be so sloppy.

Shihua stepped past Liu Xia, who was almost asleep in front of her, to the 'kitchen' nearby, she picked up a towel from the sink next to her, soaked it in water, wrung it out, and folded it into a boxy shape. Then he took it and wiped the solidified flour on the stove.

Liu Xia, who suddenly felt that something was wrong behind him, quickly sobered up, he turned around, and saw the busy back of Shihua.

"I'll do those...... Rao is Liu Xia also felt a little embarrassed, others came to your house as a guest, but you were about to fall asleep, and then you had to let someone else do housework for you?

He hurriedly stood up and walked over with a somewhat vague step: "I'll come." ”

"This flour has been here for at least three days." Shihua said this, pulled out a knife from the side, bent down and scratched the hard marks seriously: "You are not suitable for these now." ”

"Hey...... Don't do that, okay. Liu Xia spread out her hand at the deserted Shihua: "You are a guest, I will be embarrassed to do this." ”

"If you know that you are embarrassed, you have to learn to clean your room." As she spoke, Shika put the knife back on the prop table, and then wiped it with a towel, and the traces of flour just now disappeared immediately.

"Okay, okay...... I know. Seeing that Shihua was still insisting, Liu Xia didn't say anything, just sighed. He shook his head to make himself more energetic, then picked up another towel and simply cleaned it up.

And Shihua didn't say anything about Liu Xia's joining, as if teaching a child, what he was doing in his hands, he began to explain what he was talking about

"This flour can't be put in this place."

"If the fresh food in the refrigerator is not used up, it should be cleaned up in time."

"A quilt looks neater when laid out than when folded."

"This kind of bottle can't be messed with, otherwise the contents will drip out and it will be difficult to deal with."

……

By the time the two of them cleaned up the room, it was already past seven o'clock.

"You're coming back so late...... Doesn't it matter to your sister? Liu Xia put the hot tea in his hand on the coffee table, and then pushed it to Shihua, who was sitting opposite.

"There's grandpa and grandma looking after them." Shihua picked up the teacup unceremoniously and said coldly.

Liu Xia thought with some confusion: "Didn't I hear that the two sisters lived alone before?" Did you hear me wrong? ’

"Only you would believe that a person with no financial resources would live alone with his sister who goes to school." Shihua drank tea while expressionlessly performing her mind reading skills.

"It was you who said that, right?"

"Stay away from Rokuka."

Liu Xia couldn't help covering her forehead, her face was full of helplessness: "Why did you suddenly get involved in this aspect, and it hurts your dignity to say such things." ”

"Because I can't trust you." Shihua said this and put down the teacup in her hand: "She is still young, and she should do more things that she can't do in the future at this time." ”

This is the first time Liu Xia has heard Shihua talk about her attitude towards her sister. Seeing this, he hurriedly said: "But have you ever thought about the impact if your sister grows up in the future and knows that none of this exists?" ”

Shihua didn't pay the slightest attention to Liu Xia's words: "It doesn't matter, I just don't want her to suffer too much at this age." She said this, and then lowered her eyes slightly: "You don't understand." ”

Liu Xia, who still wanted to say something, was stunned when she heard the second half of the sentence of Shihua. As she said, she really couldn't understand Shihua's thoughts. In his opinion, no matter what the blow is, it cannot be faced in this almost evasive way. After all, people have to face it.

"I've never thought about what other people are doing in my own way." Shihua said in a low voice: "Although I don't know why you are so concerned about her affairs, what I want to tell you is that everyone has their own difficulties. It is not a good way to deal with the difficulties of others with the way you think about them. ”

After she said this, the whole person's originally cold temperament became faintly obscure. Shihua stood up and walked to the entrance door: "It's time for me to go, thank you for your hospitality." ”

Liu Xia hurriedly came back to her senses and stood up and followed, listening to the girl's words, her face couldn't help showing a burst of helplessness: "It should be that I thank you for your hospitality." ”

"It doesn't matter." Shihua, who was holding the door frame at the door to change shoes, said coldly: "Remember what I said, if you hold on to your previous thoughts, don't get too close to Liuhua." ”

"Ten flowers."

I don't know why, Liu Xia's solemn mouth suddenly regained its seriousness on his face

"I know what you mean, but I have my own ideas. I still hope you'll give me a chance. With that, he took a few steps forward and approached Shihua. I can even faintly smell the faint fragrance of Shihua's body in my nose: "Although I am not a good person, I also hope that the people I know can stay away from some unnecessary pain." ”

Liu Xia's extremely solemn tone made Shihua pause, and her fingers that were about to open the door stopped.

"Stay away from her." After a moment of silence, Shihua's tone did not fluctuate in the slightest and spoke: "She is my most important person." ”

After saying this, she opened the door and walked straight out. The door slammed shut, and silence returned to the room.

And the moment the door closed, Liu Xia's face instinctively returned to that expressionless appearance, and this process naturally made him feel a little incredible.

"...... the most important person?"

Chewing on the word carefully, Liu Xia fell silent. But then, an indescribable sense of exhaustion immediately came over me. He yawned, dispelled the thoughts in his mind, and then took off all his shirts and threw them into the washing machine, the slippers under his feet were almost dragged to the ground and then walked, he was too lazy to wear pajamas, and he directly lay on the bed with his hardcover upper body, and casually pressed the remote control of the light, and the room suddenly fell into darkness.

"The most important people...... What exactly? ”

With such a sentence echoing in his mind, Liu Xia thought to no avail, and while lying on the bed, his thoughts began to drift back to what he had been doing in the bank during the day.

In fact, Liu Xia herself is an extremely unscrupulous person. It is precisely because of this that he has been criticized for not being serious, and although he has insisted on wearing a mask for four years in Japan, even to the point that he will not take it off, it cannot be denied that in many cases he will still involuntarily show his original improper appearance.

In fact, Liu Xia hated her former self very much. Since he was a child, he was full of jumps compared to other children in the compound, and when other children were taught some common sense in the political field by their parents, he was a gentleman who was looked down upon by everyone. Those who can satisfy themselves materially begin to engage in some exciting things, and even bury themselves in the end.

Since coming to Japan, although he feels that his mask has achieved quite well, all kinds of things have proved that he Liu Xia will still inadvertently become his original appearance, whether it is mental or external.

He rolled over in bed, but his mind remembered how easily he had broken his mask when facing Rokuka and Honoka, and how unstable he would be in front of the staff of the workshop. At that time, he didn't seem to be aware of it, but now that he thinks about it, it really makes him feel afraid.

"Am I really not the ridiculed gentleman I used to be?" Liu Xia asked herself in a low voice, but her originally faint and lazy face gradually became serious. The brown eyes couldn't help but feel a little cold.

If you want to really get rid of the previous 'stupid Liu Xia', you must make yourself forget that you are the stupid Liu Xia, as long as his mentality is corrected, he will be truly reborn. Otherwise, even if he wears a mask and pretends to look like a dog, he Liu Xia is still a fool who is ridiculed in that compound.

It is undeniable that after being forced to come to Japan, he almost gave up on his future for a while. lives a life of eating and waiting for death, and his ambition is as unbearable as some of the scrap wood male protagonists in Japanese anime. However, unlike the protagonist, he doesn't have the destiny of the Son of Heaven, he is just one of the countless slackers and fools in the world. Even if he later regained hope and practiced wearing a mask hard, it couldn't change the stupidity in his heart.

To be precise, if it weren't for the fact that this banking incident reminded him of his situation, he could even maintain this stupid appearance until he returned home.

I really want to thank those people. Thinking to himself, he closed his eyes, and the cold eyes that glowed with a faint brown glow in the darkness faded away.

Masks, Mindsets...... Everything must be corrected. He is running out of time, but only half a year, if he can't correct his stupid mentality in this last half year, otherwise his future will still be bleak.

I was even thinking about getting a girlfriend the other day, which is ridiculous. ’

Thinking back to the woman whose name she couldn't remember, Liu Xia took a deep breath. In the future, whether it is Rokuka, Honoka or someone else, the mask must not be taken off easily. In the past, he would only get serious at critical moments, just like this banking incident. It is precisely because of this kind of 'improperness' in ordinary times that he will be grabbed by his braids.

'Alright, fool Liuxia, goodbye. ’

With this in his mind, he secretly pressed this series of thoughts into the deepest part of his heart. The night is silent again, but if you listen closely, there seems to be a sound of something breaking out of the cocoon......

……

When he woke up again, it was still a starry sky.

Hazy with sparse sleepy eyes, Liu Xia casually turned on the light and looked at the clock on the wall.

"Seven?"

Liu Xia was slightly startled by this time, he remembered that it was already more than seven o'clock when he sent away the ten flowers, can he still turn back time?

It was just a daze when he woke up, and his mind quickly became clear that he had probably slept for twenty-four hours, which was seven o'clock on Sunday.

Liu Xia, who was a little unconscious, touched the phone, only to find that he didn't charge it at all last night, and now the screen is still pitch black, and after charging the phone helplessly, Liu Xia's stomach began to scream again.

I hadn't eaten for forty-eight hours, and it would be strange if my stomach didn't grow.

A little secretly sighing whether he was not in a bad year, Liu Xia took out the clothes that had been dried out of the washing machine, and then opened the door and went straight to the Suicun cake house not far from his house.

All he knew was the place where he could be fed.
