Chapter 51: The Stalker's Clue (2-in-1)
On Sunday morning, in the convalescence room, Yuuki was feeding mandarins and eating snow fruits.
This Wednesday, the [Black Market] held a "fruit promotion", and the "promotional price" of snow fruits was only 49 points, and there were ten of them.
And in addition to the snow fruit, the lark fruit is only sold for 25 points, the milk fruit that has not been seen before and is also a little bad shape is only sold for 20 points, and the blue lotus is only sold for 3 points...... It was also from that time that Yuuki Yuichi learned that Bilian was a fruit.
On the table next to it, the small snow lamp "Ice Heart Linglong" exudes a soft and beautiful light, and there is a sense of comfort that people can't get tired of watching for a day.
The mandarin swallowed the flesh of the snow fruit in her mouth and licked the corners of her mouth with her small tongue, which was full of aftertaste.
This fruit is really delicious, but it is very small, and Ernie sauce will only feed her, so she has never been able to leave a little for Aunt Miyako.
Yuuki wiped her face with a disinfectant tissue.
"Mikan, Oni-san is going out next weekend, exactly two days, but Sister Hana and they will come to play with you."
"Out of the door?" The mandarin orange, who was still reminiscing about the snow fruit, came back to her senses and asked blankly, "Where are you going?" ”
"Go to Tokyo."
Next weekend is the first anniversary of the original owner's father, and if there are no surprises, he will pass.
"To Tokyo? Why do you want to go to ...... suddenly" Mikan, who subconsciously asked, was suddenly stunned, and quickly continued: "Well, Ernie sauce, please be safe...... Come back early! Bring a souvenir too! ”
"Well, don't worry."
Yuuki Yuichi lay on the edge of the bed and stared at Mikan.
"This girl, don't you know? Aunt Miyako told her? ”
However, Mikan didn't have any unusual looks, and during this time, her spirits were much better, and her eyes were a lot clearer.
She raised her tiny right hand, pinched Yuuki's nose, and giggled.
Yuuki Yuichi also allowed this little hand to "behave" on his face.
After making a fuss like this for a while, Aunt Miyako opened the door and walked in, followed by Xiao Ye Lan with the medicine.
"It's time to take your medicine!"
Honey Mandarin's faint eyebrows drooped slightly.
It's time to take your medicine, and it's time for Ernie to go.
Yuuki patted her little head: "Great, one step closer to getting better." ”
Mi Tang was stunned, her little face turned cloudy to sunny, and she smiled and said, "That's it, Ernie sauce!" ”
After taking the medicine, Mikan lay back on the bed, grabbed Yuuki Yuichi's hand, and dozed off a little.
Yuuki Yuichi lay on the head of the bed, quietly guarding her.
The sleepiness of the mandarin orange increased little by little, and she couldn't hold on any longer, closing her eyes, and her breathing became soft and long.
After a few minutes, Yuuki put her hand back in the quilt and stood up gently, turned and walked out the door.
In the corridor outside the door, Aunt Gongzi asked softly, "Don't you want to stay any longer?" ”
Yuuki Yuichi snorted: "There is just something to do, get done early, come back early." ”
"Well, stay safe when you go back." Aunt Miyako nodded slightly.
Now I'm "familiar", so it's not like when I was in Tokyo a year ago, and I only had to say goodbye once a month.
Yuuki Yuichi bowed his head and took out a box from his bag, handed it to her with both hands, and said with a smile: "This is a little careful, please accept it." ”
Although neither Mikan nor Aunt Miyako said anything, every time he fed Mikan to eat snow fruits, he could always hear a small sound of swallowing saliva, and Mikan once tried to keep half of it, wanting to wait for him to leave before eating.
Aunt Miyako took it, raised it to her eyes, looked back and forth, and asked curiously, "What is this?" ”
Yuki Yuichi motioned for her to open: "There are two plums in total, if you can, eat them now, right?" ”
During the big fruit sale, he bought 10 ꓹ at a "promotional price" of 49 points, so he had the spare energy to give Aunt Miyako a try.
"Plums?" Aunt Gongzi was stunned for a moment, her little heart fluttered, and she asked uncertainly, "Is the kind of mandarin orange you usually eat?" ”
"Well, I bought a little more this time, if you don't dislike it, please try it, right?" Yuki Yu said without changing his face.
Aunt Gongzi's eyes widened, and she was a little surprised: "Eh? Can it really be? ”
The fruit tastes so good that it's false to say you don't want to eat it.
And Yuichi Yuuki was quite tight on this, and she never asked where she bought it.
Although Ono Arashi suggested that she call Asuka to set Yuuki Yuichi's words, she felt that it was too inconsistent with her status as an elder, and it could easily expose the fact that she was working as a caregiver for mandarin oranges here.
Yuuki raised his hand and said, "Please eat it now, right?" ”
He couldn't tell where Xueguo came from, so in order to prevent any trouble, he had to watch Aunt Gongzi eat it.
Aunt Miyako swallowed her saliva, opened the box, and looked at the two fruits lying quietly inside, her eyes lit up a little, and she was a little embarrassed: "Thank you Yuuki-kun, then I'm welcome......"
She beckoned Ono Lan over, gave her one, and sat down on the rest chair next to her, covering her mouth with one hand and biting it down.
The sweet smell that belonged to the snow fruit instantly diffused, and Aunt Gongzi bent her eyes.
It's delicious!
This is definitely the most delicious plum she's ever tasted!
"I started the ......" Ono Lan, who was observing Xueguo next to him, couldn't help it, and like Aunt Miyako, she covered her mouth with one hand and took a small bite.
Yuuki Yuichi stood by and watched quietly, and after they finished eating, he put away the box and said with a smile, "Then I'll take my leave first." ”
The two of them, who were still immersed in the delicious taste of snow fruits, didn't hear it, and their faces were deeply intoxicated.
He didn't wait, he turned and left.
When I walked to the gate of the nursing home, I happened to receive a call from Ueko Sato.
On the phone, Sensei Satoko lowered her voice: "Yuuki-kun, where are you?" Hurry up! I'm coming back soon! ”
Listening to the panic in her voice, Yuuki Yuichi coughed and said, "I'm already on the way, and I'll be there soon." ”
"Uh-huh, come quickly!"
When the phone hung up, Yuuki scratched his head and rode his bicycle to Ueko-sensei's house.
Maybe it was an illusion, he seemed to hear a hint of dependence?
Satoma-sensei relied on him...... Well, in all respects, there is no sense of disobedience, but it should be.
Well, after all, it's small, and there's no adult shelf.
He thought so crankily, and hurried over there following the path of navigation.
After all, I've been here twice, and the surrounding roads are still a little familiar.
However, when he arrived near Sato-eko's house, a person in front of him who seemed to be asking for directions caught his attention.
It's Mr. Taiyong Manaka, who met yesterday evening near Funosso.
He was suddenly surprised, this is really a coincidence......
Manaka Taiyong in front thanked the person who asked for directions, and then looked down at the map on his phone, looking around by the way.
Yuki Yu got out of the car in a flash, looked sideways and greeted with a smile, "Good morning, Mr. Manaka." ”
Manaka Taiyong was taken aback, and almost threw away the mobile phone in his hand, when he saw that it was Yuuki Yuichi, he first breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned off the phone screen without a trace, and said with a smile: "Good morning, Yuuki-san, what a coincidence, I met again today." ”
"yes, that's a coincidence!" Yuuki Yu smiled and agreed.
How is the destination of the navigation on the mobile phone of the real middle school teacher like the home address of Satoma-sensei?
He asked curiously, pretending to know nothing
"Well, it's uncomfortable to stay at home, so I'll just come out and walk around......" Manaka Taiyu also snorted: "What about Yuuki-kun?" It seems to be quite far from Winter Village. ”
Yuuki Yuichi looked at him and smiled, "Now I'm going to Sato-eko-sensei's house." ”
"Go to Rio, Kobashi-sensei's house?" Manaka Taiyong's expression froze for a moment, and soon returned to normal, trying to maintain a normal tone: "Huh? I didn't expect Yuuki-kun and Mr. Kohashi to have such a good relationship outside the school......"
Yuki Yuichi didn't seem to hear the sourness in his tone, and said with a smile: "After all, Teacher Satoko is also a resident of Winter Village, so she occasionally helps the teacher run errands or something." ”
"Running errands?" Manaka Taiyong turned his head to look at the incubator on the bicycle and suddenly said, "That's what happened......
He let out a long sigh of relief, regained the ease of chatting just now, and said with a smile, "That's really hard for you, Yuuki-kun." ”
"It's a little thing, and that's what I'm supposed to do." Yuuki Yuichi is still smiling.
Judging from the reaction just now, Mr. Manaka didn't come here for a walk, but to find Senseiko Sato's home.
He's interested in Sato-eko-sensei.
In this way, yesterday's chance encounter near Winter Village can be said to make sense.
But it's nothing.,It's strange if Sato-eko-sensei doesn't have one or two suitors.,Although I may not be aware of it.,Or realized.,But I won't think about it.,Just pretend not to be aware.。
Well, as long as you don't break it, everyone is still a good colleague, but once you say it, then it's a good thing......
Therefore, Yuuki Yuichi didn't think there was anything, as long as Mr. Manaka wasn't a stalker that evening, then he wouldn't say a word about Mr. Manaka's careful thoughts.
He knew everything he wanted to know, so he didn't mean to talk any more, and was ready to say goodbye.
But at this time, Manaka Taiyong said as if inadvertently: "In the past few days, it seems that Yuki-kun has often left school with Mr. Kohashi." ”
Yuuki Yuichi was stunned, pinched the brakes, stared at him sideways, and looked at him for a while before saying, "Well, it seems that someone has been following Ueko-sensei recently, so I'm in charge of sending her home." ”
Manaka Taiyong's hand trembled instantly, and in the cold weather, sweat oozed from his forehead, and then he said with a shocked face: "Follow, stalker? ”
Yuuki Yu smiled: "Yes, stalker......"
It seems that this real middle school teacher needs to be checked...... In his way.
Manaka Taiyong's lips pursed, as if he wanted to say something.
At this time, Yuuki Yuichi's mobile phone rang again, he took it out and looked at it, patted the incubator, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm urging me......"
A smile squeezed out of Manaka Taiyong's face: "It's just right, I should go back too......"
Yuuki said goodbye, stopped talking, and rode forward.
Manaka Taiyong, who stayed in place, stared at his back, and his face became a little ugly.
……
Yuuki Yuichi, who was then hurrying away, fell into thought: "What is this? Is it a morbid like? Or is there another plan? "After all, that kind of dress, no matter how you look at it, is not something that normal feelings will have.
Under the mutual talk with Manaka Taiyong just now, it can already be determined that the stalker who appeared four days ago is either Manaka Taiyong himself or someone he knows, and it must have something to do with him anyway.
"If the stalker is himself, then why would he do it? If you really want to pursue it, it's not good to be generous? Could it be that he once confessed and was rejected? ”
He was a little confused, and the wheels were kicking faster.
It's about the safety of Eiko Sensei, so this issue still needs to be clarified.
At the gate of Teacher Satoko's house, Teacher Satoko, who was dressed in panda pajamas and winter clothes, was looking at him, and when she saw him, she jumped directly in place a few times, waving her hands and shouting, "Hurry up!" Hurry up! ”
Yuuki Yuichi was a little speechless.
Although there are no pedestrians here, is it really appropriate to stand at the gate and wait for him in this dress?
When he arrived, Sato-eko-sensei pouted, "Are you lost?" How can it take so long? I've been standing at the door for so long. ”
Yuki Yuichi looked back and said, "I'm sorry, let's go in first...... Is Aunt Cheon back? ”
"Not yet, but Odo-san went to pick up the ......" At the mention of Aunt Qianshan, Teacher Li Eko was obviously nervous, and said pitifully: "My family is going to twist my ears in a while, you must stop it!" Really, my family Ma Ma and Sister Ryoko both like to twist their ears! ”
She complained to Yuuki Yuichi, and by the way, she also complained about Aunt Chizen and Teacher Ryoko who twisted her ears.
Yuuki listened silently, he couldn't let go of half a fart about this.
After putting the bicycle away, Yuuki Yuki blinked his eyes and suddenly said, "Sato-eko-sensei." ”
"Huh? What's wrong? ”
"On the way here just now, I met Mr. Taiyong Manaka here."
"Mr. Manaka?" Teacher Satoko was stunned and said, "So what's wrong?" ”
Yuki Yuichi looked at her and said as he walked around the yard, "He said he came here for a walk." ”
"Walking? Nice interest too. Sato-eko was obviously not interested, and casually perfunctory him.
Yuuki pursed his lips, wondering if he should tell what he had just seen...... If you say it, it will definitely scare her.
Teacher Satoko is different from him, she can't hide things in her heart, and her joys, angers, sorrows and joys will be shown on her face.
So if she knew about it, she wouldn't be able to hide this kind of thing.
"Why don't you speak?" Ueko-sensei's voice sounded next to her.
Yuki Yu came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Are you familiar with Maka-sensei?" ”
Sato-eko-sensei shook her head: "I only became colleagues at this time last year, but although I've been in the same office for a year, I haven't spoken much on a regular basis, so I'm not familiar with it. ”
Yuuki Yu nodded: "Haven't you ever crossed paths?" ”
"Intersection ......" Teacher Eriko looked at the sky with her hands behind her back and thought for a while before saying, "If you really want to count, that is, when I first became a colleague, I said a few inconsequential words at the reception organized by the teaching director......"
Before she finished speaking, she looked at Yuuki Yuichi and said with a strange expression, "Why do you suddenly ask this?" What strange interest do you have in him? ”
Yuuki Yuichi suddenly rolled his eyes: "Just to confirm something...... Teacher, I probably know who was following you that day. ”
