43.Chapter.42 Rain

Half past six in the morning.

He opened the curtains, and sure enough, a thick dark cloud came into view.

The black pressed a large area, obscuring the bright sky that should have been in the summer at this time, and it was as dark as if it were the wee hours of the morning, but the dial below the bedside alarm clock had clearly formed an extremely narrow acute angle. Shinobu bent down, pressed down the timer bolt that had not yet sounded, and opened the bedroom door directly in the white loose T-shirt he had slept.

There was no familiar smell of food, and there was silence in the kitchen, no clattering of kitchen utensils, and no scattered footsteps. Probably because he had just woken up, even if he had always shown himself with a calm face, at this time, he couldn't help but be a little confused about the truth and the illusion.

But the trance lasted only about ten seconds, and he was well aware that it wasn't a year ago. At that time, he had just moved into the apartment, and he was suddenly far away from the powerful eldest sister and his parents, who felt that he was redundant, except for a little bit of missing the relatives who had just separated, and was actually willing to try to enjoy the silence.

My sister is a legend in her life, talented and ambitious, and she triumphantly advances all the way to achieve her goals, and unless he really needs her, she doesn't usually give him a second look. His father, Shinobu Eishi, was busy with research and work as a professor at the university hospital, and he left all the time he saved to his mother, leaving not a drop left. As for his mother, who was usually an enlightened and wise elder, she quit her job as a journalist after he was born, jokingly calling herself a vagrant, but in fact she was a complete inspiration animal, which made him suspect that after closing the door of the study, he probably couldn't even remember what his son looked like.

Growing up in this environment and moving six times due to his father's job transfer, he was not only extremely adaptable, but also learned how to be alone early on.

Sometimes I even think that it is not a terrible thing to close the door of my heart completely.

But life is not as good as it should be, seven or eight times out of ten-

There are always two people who come in and slam the door without telling them.

Shinobu quickly washed up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room with a glass of warm water. In addition to the convenient transportation environment and complete infrastructure, there is also a reason why Ninzo Erina is willing to spend a lot of money to buy these two apartments.

The Room of Zhilan.

The lush brown-red foliage was beaten low by the rain, and the ripples on the surface of the lake were like jumping notes.

There was originally a natural grove here, and the architects not only did not cut it down, but even moved the foundation to accommodate the trees, and later dug up a small artificial lake. From the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room, it is a beautiful view.

Without waiting for the real season, he went directly to open the refrigerator door, first took out three mint leaves, and brewed them with freshly boiled water. Then he took out the bread and put it in the toaster, and fried two eggs and ham slices in the pan, sandwiched lettuce and corn salad, and then placed cheese slices. Finally, cut it from the middle, the knife edge is sharp and neat, and the two sandwiches are completed.

I don't dare to say about my cooking skills, but when it comes to knife work, he is definitely the best one in the family, and sometimes when I go to Qianye's house for dinner, my aunt will ask him to help with the ingredients. Qian also reluctantly praised him for his "ingenuity", and of course accompanied him with the vicious ridicule that he should be reincarnated as a "forbearance".

He can cook some simple dishes, and the source of his learning is the Internet. His father, Shinobu Yingshi, has a good cooking skill that is not inferior to Shinobu Wanlizi, but he doesn't seem to have the patience to teach him, even if he asks for advice on the grounds of learning life skills, his father always uses the reason of "the time has not come" to prevaricate his own son, which can be described as tried and tested.

The rich connotation of this "time has not come" made him not understand when he wanted to break his head when he was a child, and after the age of thirteen, he was able to understand it a little, but he wanted to complain about his biological father even more!!

…… This is putting the cart before the horse, is it too late to marry and teach again, but you teach me how to flirt!

When he was done, he put his share on a plate and set it aside for the time being. I took out another tray that hadn't been used for a long time, and put another sandwich and a glass of warm milk. The mint water that I brewed just now is no longer so hot, and with an empty bowl and a warm wet towel, it is neatly placed on the tray one by one.

He knocked on the door slowly, knowing that there would be no response, and opened the door straight in, waiting for his hand to be on the doorknob of Maji's bedroom before he began to think about a stern question.

It seemed that he should not have opened the door of a young girl early in the morning.

The person inside is Umegaki Maki, but it's also fifteen-year-old Umegaki Maki.

But the doorknob is halfway screwed, and now to exit is considered an attempted crime? Sighing, he opened the door straight away, fortunately he knew that Maki's sleeping appearance had always been good, she was covered with a thin towel quilt, facing him on the right side, one arm was outside, her left foot was exposed on her right ankle, and the rest of the place was tightly covered.

The conspicuous red-haired person slept messily, and at first glance it really looked a bit like Xiang Riyue who came to his house to sleep without permission, no wonder she could see him as a girl when she saw Yue Ren for the first time.

Sure enough, I didn't wake up.

Maki always wakes up early, because she used to help her mother make breakfast before going to work. But when it comes to rainy days in summer, it is easy to not wake up, and this has been the case since childhood, according to her theory, "rainy days have been used to sleep since ancient times", and she can even sleep until noon. Some time ago, because she had to prepare for the national competition, she would still reluctantly set an alarm clock, but now there is no reason for her to give up the right to sleep in the rain.

But because of the habit I usually develop, I actually slept very lightly at this time, but I just didn't think about it.

Shinobu placed the tray on her bedside table and patted her arm.

"True season."

Sure enough, she turned around in a daze, and raised her eyelids three or four times before she opened her eyes. The whole person was as sluggish as a sloth, and even raising his lips to speak was in slow motion, muttering indistinctly: "Huh? Yushi ......"

"Eat breakfast first."

"Don't!" This rewinds one level faster.

To deal with this kind of people who have dropped their IQ, you have to take it step by step, "Eat and then sleep?" ”

"Huh?" It seems to make sense.

She barely straightened up, the thin quilt slipping off, revealing the suspender pajamas she was wearing inside, but fell back halfway through, apparently crashing in wake up mode, and refused treatment. With a headache, the foot-footed man lifted her shoulders, pulled her up half-tugging, and shoved the unused pillow behind her head to make her semi-erect.

It's all tossed to this point, Zhenji is finally not completely out of the world, her face is gloomy and she sinks into the pillow, her eyes are empty, and then she looks at him gloomily, "How much hatred?" ”

Ninja Foot: "I have understood that you want to have a stomach problem, but I refuse to be beaten to death by Erina. ”

Zhenji, who didn't have a rough man's body, could only pick up the mint water angrily, spit it viciously into the empty bowl, and after rinsing his mouth, he finished biting the sandwich in a few bites, and poured out the glass of milk. Paste a few handfuls on a wet towel, and then take out the tissue at the head of the bed to wipe your hands.

Then the white-eyed wolf got up, pulled out the pillow that was used as a cushion from the back of his neck, and pasted it towards the face of the ninja foot. Then the whole person retracted into the quilt again, this time with all his hands and feet stuffed in, leaving him with only a red head. The actions are smooth in one go, and it simply interprets the turn of the face and the denial of people to the extreme.

Helplessly, the ninja grabbed her pillow in the air, rubbing a few strands of red hair on it.

When he went out with the tray, Maki was still deep in her soft and fluffy cloud-like bed, her eyelids were closed, motionless, as if she had fallen asleep, but her eyes twitched twice from time to time, and it was not until ten minutes later that she heard the sound of even and long breathing again.

I slept until half past nine, because the summer rain stopped when I said to stop, and the sun soon shone through the bed curtains, illuminating the whole room, and the real season finally got up alive before noon, and made a curry and rice casually. In the afternoon, when Shinobu came out of the study, she could still hear what she was pouring in the kitchen of her house, there was the sound of washing and cutting, and after a while, the sound of the juicer stirring, probably making juice.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for her to run in with a glass of watermelon and lemon juice.

The tentacles are cold, so they should have put ice cubes.

"Hey, you're not doing your summer homework, what are you reading?"

He took the juice and took a sip, looked at it for a long time, and threw the pen aside, "Of course it's a book for the entrance exam, do you think I'm in the first grade like you?" Cherish the present day. ”

There are indeed a lot of exercise books on the first floor of the bookshelf of the Shinobu Foot Warrior, and the one he has now has half finished. As for the unified summer vacation homework book of the Ice Emperor School Park,It's been neatly arranged in a pile.,Probably waiting for a good partner to copy it.。

Zhenji disagreed, "You're only in the second grade!" How do you want to live in 3rd grade? ”

Shinobu shrugged his shoulders rather in a sloppy manner, "Oh? I think they probably don't want to live anymore. ”

Hard-pressed candidates.

Especially for a student like him, who is preparing to take the medical exam, he is bound to show the determination to die, and now it is just a warm-up. But with his temperament, he won't stretch himself too much early, and now he just reads more books every day and goes to cram school, and he is preparing to start after the winter vacation of the second grade.

The window of the study could not see the grove because of the angle, but the sun was shining and the sky was washing, which was also a good view, and he said casually: "But the weather is good today, it seems that you shouldn't be stuffy in the house." ”

Zhenji slept for three more hours today, as the so-called more sleepy he slept, but he didn't have much energy, and he didn't want to face the student's natural enemy summer vacation homework at all. ”

As she said and done, she casually took a bookmark and threw it into the ninja soldier's homework book, then pressed it and glared at him forcefully, obviously not refusing. The forbearance had already come up with this thought, he was not the kind of nerd who plunged into it, and the attraction of the first sunny day after the rain had already taken away most of the motivation to study.

This grove is home to a number of Japanese red maples, which are like flames even in midsummer.

There are a few dots of greenery in between, which can also explain why the architect was reluctant to cut them down in the first place, only the old red maple will return to green, and with the huge torso, it can be seen that it has been some years.

The afternoon air is still soaked in the smell of rain and mist, different from the blazing sunshine during the national competition, because of the heavy rain the night before, the current sun only dries the moist air to just the right comfort, there is no sting enough to burn the skin, and even running and jumping for a while, you will not sweat.

The terrain is not low, so there is no annoying muddy water, and the ground is half-dry. Plus a narrow brick road, enough for a walk. But I don't know if it's because there are a lot of office workers in this apartment area, even if it's very suitable for rest now, there are only two of them in this place with a good view.

Maji wore flip-flops with purple silk flowers and stepped on the tiles loudly.

She spun around with one foot, very careful not to fall down, and asked the ninja Yu Shi as she turned: "Yu Shi!" Kenya said that you are the ideal place to go on a date...... Is it a park? ”

…… These-mouthed things. (╬ ̄ ̄) convex

Ninja Foot Yu Shi mentally called his teammates&*%#*&, because this is not a public topic, but on a form that he filled out in an interview with the news agency when he was in middle school, and it should be said that this is just the inside news of the Ice Emperor Academy. But Ken will also know that he is not surprised, no, after all, Kenya, a self-acquaintance, has already mixed up all the members of the Ice Emperor except Akutagawa Jiro. As for Cilang...... It's because Kenya never seems to be able to touch him when he's sober.

He breathed a sigh of relief helplessly, "Wouldn't it be nice to talk in a quiet place?" After all, feelings are meant to be exchanged. ”

"Oh oh oh~" Zhen Ji dragged a long tone, "You are very experienced." ”

The face of the student is not red and the heart is not beating: "Whatever is correct in theory will be effective in practice." ”

Hearing the ninja foot warrior dragging the text, she also turned her back and walked three steps ahead of him, so he saw a bicycle parked under a red maple tree one step ahead, and she pointed over with a smile: "Riding in the woods, is it also a classic scene of pure love movies?" Let's put it into practice. ”

Shinobu unceremoniously vetoed her, although he knew that this guy was just talking nonsense along the topic, which was a common thing, but he still reluctantly found a few plausible reasons: "First of all, this car is not yours." Secondly, it is generally locked when no one is around. Again, now in broad daylight, the host will come back at any time. ”

He is always so shrewd and calm, even if it is perfunctory, it is perfunctory and reasonable.

Just when he thought that this could already be turned over, he didn't expect Zhenji to suddenly turn around with his hands in his hands, staring at him tightly, the hair that had been kept for a while flew away with her movements, she raised her eyebrows, with a malicious smile on her lips, and said word by word: "If, fruit, I, no, want, ride, what?" ”

It sounded overtly threatening and vexatious, and that's what she used to say as a child.

But she was fifteen years old after all, and the color of the maple tree fell into her pupils, dyeing her original red eyes even more intense.

Shinobu took a deep breath, then lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and made a helpless expression of "I'm convinced". Because of his long legs and tall height, he surpassed Zhenji in a few steps, and he looked short to see that the car was really unlocked. He stepped up in front of Zhenji, didn't look at her, and directly left a sentence: "Go on." ”

Sure enough, the back sank, but when I rode it, I found that it didn't seem to be heavy.

Back then, because of the psychological devastation of Qian Ye and Zhenji, he learned to ride a bicycle a year late, but as long as he learned it, he could be proficient and ride much more steadily than Zhenji. So now she is shaking her feet dishonestly in the back, and she can also be messed up at all. The sunlight shines through the dappled shadows of the trees, and the breeze in the forest carries the freshness of the rain, and by the way, it also blows off the raindrops on the branches and leaves.

A drop of water grazed his flat mirror and slid down his cheek.

Zhenji suddenly hugged his waist and leaned forward, but fortunately, she was not really stupid enough to come over and face him face to face, and after saying a few words, she sat back honestly, but she had a whim: "Let's go eat ice!" Let's go! Let's go! ”

It's really said that one is one play, and for the first time, the forbearance of the three-dimensional version of the plot on the big screen finally experienced the helplessness of the three-dimensional version of the plot.

Although the owner is not locked, of course the car cannot be ridden out like this shamelessly. And if it's not locked in broad daylight, it's likely that you're going to be back soon! The Shinobu Warriors actually realized that it was a stupid act as soon as they pushed the cart, but they had to climb down crying when they got into the pit they jumped into, but fortunately they seemed to be lucky and did not wait under the tree for the angry owner.

After parking the car, the shinobu is ready to leave the crime scene as much as possible.

"Stop, stop!"

Maki screamed again.

She cautiously approached the bicycle and said righteously, "You idiot! The front of the car just now is swinging to the right, are you so afraid that people won't find out? I express my strict reservations about your title of 'Ice Emperor Genius'. ”

…… Don't keep it, please take back this ghost title, and beg your brother to take back this ghost title.

With that, she smashed the front of the car, clapped her hands and grinned, as if she had really wiped out all the evidence of the crime, and walked forward with the forbearance and brush.

The ninja can only be a dead face of "the baby doesn't say" at the moment.

…… With her blessing, his late stage of obsessive-compulsive disorder is already about to become famous in the tennis club.

How could it be misremembered?

It just so happened that he brought his wallet with him when he went out, and he didn't even have to go home, so he took the bus five stops and found the shop that sold soybean flour rice cakes and shaved ice that Maki wanted to eat. The clerk of this shop is estimated to be not only a part-time student like Maji, but also gossip like her, and the clerk girl brought two servings of shaved ice and said "Please use it slowly", and then said with a smile: "This rice cake tastes delicious, I can't forget it!" Remember to come back to us for a date next time. ”

…… Appointment?

Of course, the number of people who have been ninja will not blush at such a small point, and he politely thanked the clerk girl, his face was calm, but he let the other party look stunned for two seconds.

"Warriors."

This voice seems to be warning her boyfriend to control his scattered hormones.

But what she said was: "Do you think it's the eldest sister over there?" ”

They chose a window location with a view of the street outside.

Ninja Erina is 1.72 meters tall without wearing high heels, and her long dark hair is even more recognizable at a glance. She wore a polka-dot dress today that she rarely wears, because it was a bit childish for her. There was a man about the height of the Ninja Foot Warrior standing next to her, it wasn't too hot today, it was only compared to the scorching heat of the previous days, but this man was still wearing a long-sleeved white shirt outside, which was only slightly folded.

Erina had her back to them, but her younger siblings were easily recognizable. I don't know if I noticed two glances, and the man suddenly looked at the window.

His face was fair, even a little pale. Different from his somewhat fragile appearance, his chin is light, his body is as straight as a cypress, and his seemingly casual but elegant standing posture also vaguely reveals a strict upbringing.

But his eyes should be so light that it is impossible to see his eyes.

When he turned sideways, the eyes of Maki and Shinobu Yushi straightened at the same time.

He held Eri-sama's hand!!
