Seven - time for the sisters
Night.
Most of the houses and shops on the streets have been turned off, and the vendors have long since gone home.
The "Qinglan" district is just a small town, and there is not much modern stuff, and every time the night sky falls at this time, the whole street immediately becomes pitch black, and you can't see your fingers. Probably only those scattered street lamps struggled desperately in the dark, shining a faint light for the people who returned late.
However, Yakumo Azusa's cabin is an exception.
"Huh, Azusa~ What are you doing?"
"Calculate the expenses after Satsuki comes, and plan the future life policy, is Satsuki asleep?"
"I'm asleep, and it looks like it took a lot of effort to keep us from going out to fight."
"Really?"
The cabin is small in size and does not have many rooms, just a combination of a bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, a washroom, and a small utility room.
At this moment, the lit candle was placed on the wooden table in the living room, emitting a dim and weak orange-red fire.
In the dim light of the fire, Yakumo Azusa quietly wrote something on the paper with a quill pen, and a small bowl of ink lay beside her.
The quills are exquisitely made, and although they look a little old, they seem to be a valuable luxury. In contrast, the workmanship of paper is far from good, and it is nothing more than cheap white paper bought casually on the street.
In addition to the white paper that was stacked under the piece of paper that Yakumo Azusa was writing, there were more than a dozen pieces of paper piled aside, and various formulas were densely written on them, obviously from Yakumo Azusa's handwriting.
Yakumo Zi replied lightly and then stopped talking, and continued to bury himself in the work of the family. Seeing that his Ji You didn't care about himself, Ruoxi pouted as if he was making a fuss, and then a flying pounce wrapped his arms around Yakumo Zi's neck from the side, scaring the latter who was engrossed in writing so much that he almost screamed.
"What?"
Not only interrupted his work, but also flew over and hung on himself, which scared him a lot, in principle, after calming down, Yakumo Azusa should have pushed Ruoxi Wan away.
But after Ruoxi Wanfei pounced, he hugged her neck tightly, and in addition, he had to rub his cheek against Yakumo Zi's face affectionately, like a cute little kitten. Yakumo Zi's hand was stretched out, and when he saw Ji You's coquettish appearance, his heart softened, and his hand was not pushed out after all, and in the end he had to sigh softly, letting the other party continue to hold him, and asking Ji You's intention while writing.
"Azusa, Azusa, are you still angry?" Seeing that Yakumo Zi was always paying attention to her, she stopped rubbing her face, Ruoxi Wan put her mouth attached to Yakumo Zi's ear and asked.
"What can you be angry about?"
"That's what I made a mess of Satsuki's welcome dinner."
"Ahh Anyway, can I get a shot in your face?"
"Hahahaha, I can actually make a well-educated aristocratic lady say words like "I want to flatten you", I'm really amazing~"
"It's the former noble lady, don't let me mention it a second time."
Because the living room and the bedroom are not too far apart, in order not to wake up Ji Yuehua inside, the two spoke very softly.
Yakumo Zi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he glanced at Ji You.
But seeing Ruoxi Wan put on a look of grievance, in the end, Yayun Zi still covered her mouth and smiled lightly, and said, "That's it, because it's the first time to take in a child younger than yourself, and that child is very cute, I can't help but want to spoil him, in fact, your approach is also beneficial." After today's incident, I think Satsuki will redouble her efforts to urge herself to learn cooking from now on, right?"
Compare this to emphasizing "taking in a child younger than yourself for the first time"? This house is a shared house. And, judging from the seniority of living here, I took you in, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm wrong, okay? It was the merciful Aunt Ruoxi Wan who mercifully allowed the little girl to share the house with her before she was kicked out by the landlord, right?"
The two teased each other a few words as usual, then looked at each other in silence, and finally both smiled at each other. Ruoxi Wan rubbed Yakumo's cheek again, and said softly, "To be honest, although I knew it from the beginning, but now I feel more deeply that you and I actually don't know how to be a sister." ”
"If you know, why did you propose to pick up Satsuki?"
"Aren't you aware of that, too? Why do you nod your head in agreement?"
"Because I know you want to feel at home!!" X2
Coincidentally, they said exactly the same thing. The two then looked at each other and smiled again.
"A home of only two people always feels like something is missing."
"You and I have lost both of our parents for a long time, and it is impossible to go back to the time when we could be coquettish without any scruples. But even if you decide to live on your own, and no longer rely on others to be a child, you can still be a sister. Wouldn't it be nice to have a brother who can hurt?"
"From now on, this place should be more lively, right?"
"Not should, yes."
"If it gets lively, maybe we can fill in the hole in our hearts a little bit, right?" Speaking of this, Ruoxi Wan paused, lowered her gaze, looked at the floor and said, "It's been a long time since we've quarreled as often as we do today, and the inheritance can't be used up for the time being, every day we either stay in the house or go out for a walk out bored, just now it's like going back to when we first met, I'm having a good time." I always feel that after Xiaoyue came, we seemed to have something more in our lives, and the missing parts were also filled. I just don't know how long we can live like this? Is it really possible for three people to stay together all the time? Or is it like you and my respective parents, one day?"
"You don't have to be able to stay together."
In a vow-like tone, they depict each other's futures.
Yakumo Zi gave his Ji You an affirmative answer without thinking, his eyes looked at the starry sky outside the window, and his mouth muttered softly like a whisper, "There will be no separation." We must stay together forever. ”
