Chapter 7: The Warmth of Everyday Life and the Melancholy of Ashmida

In the hot summer, even at night it can be a little stuffy, so people like to wear loose kimonos to walk outside at night, and feel cool with the breeze, because the irritability caused by the stuffy heat will be swept away. But most people just go out for an hour or so and then go home to sleep, because they still have farm work to do when they wake up the next day.

However, there are still some people who are free, but this type of people prefer to stay in their own courtyards, listen to the sound of insects and crisp wind chimes, sit comfortably in the corridor, eat chilled watermelon, and enjoy the peace of the night.

"Please." With a smile on her face, Kamikuzawa Huiyin pushed a tray to Ashmida's hand, on which was the watermelon that had been cut.

"Thank you so much, Huiyin." Ashmida said a little embarrassed: "I was very troublesome for you to make zuΓ² bell's clothes before, and you left the old man and the bell down to eat, the old man really didn't know what to say." ”

"Where, you are Mei Hong's elder, and Mei Hong and I are friends, so you are also my elder, so these are taken for granted." When Kamihiro Zehuiyin heard Ashmida's words, two blushes appeared on her cheeks, and she covered her small mouth with her slender and fair right hand, and said softly.

"..............." When Ashmida and Kamihiro Zehuiyin were polite to each other, Suzu took a slice of watermelon without saying a word and began to eat it.

The watermelon was put in a deep well and just picked up, and the cool watermelon was eaten in the mouth, and the bell only felt that the irritability caused by the heat of the weather swept away, and was replaced by a refreshing body to the heart, although the expression on the face still did not change much, but the movement of the mouth was small but very fast, giving people a cute feeling like a small animal.

"This kid, it's really ........." Ashmida felt the bell's movements, and after being stunned, he couldn't help but shake his head, and said with a smile: "This kid is very similar to Mei Hong when she was a child." ”

"Eh, ?!!" Mei Hong, who had been sitting next to Ashmida who had been unhappy, was stunned, why did the topic suddenly turn to her?!

"Poof! It's the same as Sister Hong?! Shangbai Zehuiyin looked at the bell who ate watermelon like a hamster, and then looked at Mei Hong, who was stunned, and imagined in her mind that the miniature version of Mei Hong was eating like this, and she couldn't hold back for a while, and laughed.

"............" Ling heard Ashmida's words, put down the half-eaten watermelon in his hand, looked at Ashmida blankly and then looked at Mei Hong, then looked at the watermelon in his hand, and finally handed the watermelon to Mei Hong with an expressionless face, but looked at her eyes as if she was very unhappy.

"Hey, hey, hey! Gremlin!! Lao Tzu ...... Ahem, ahem, I didn't want your watermelon! Seeing Suzu's movements, Meihong suddenly stood up a little angry and shouted at Suzu.

"..............." Ling looked at Mei Hong's reaction and seemed to be slightly relieved, and then quickly took back the watermelon and solved the watermelon at just three times the speed, as if she was afraid that Mei Hong would regret it the next moment.

"Hahaha!!" Seeing Suzu's cute appearance, Ashmida couldn't help but laugh. Because Suzu's action of eating watermelon was too big, a few watermelon seeds stuck to her cheeks, Ashmida smiled and took out a handkerchief to wipe it for Suzu, and said to Meihong while wiping: "When eating, Meihong, you and Suzu are really similar." ”

"I don't know which little girl asked the old man for snacks after class......... "After Ashmida wiped the bell, he pushed the tray containing the watermelon to the bell, and then picked up a piece of watermelon and handed it to the bell, after the bell took the watermelon with an expressionless face but was extremely fast, he touched the bell's little head with a smile, and then turned to Meihong with a playful smile, and kept talking about the interesting stories of Meihong's childhood.

"Master!!" After understanding what Ashmida was talking about, Mei Hong suddenly blushed, shouted in shame, and pounced on Ashmida, trying to stop Ashmida from continuing to blow up her embarrassment.

"Hehehe, it turns out that Meihong also has such a thing, it's really cute." Shangbai Ze Huiyin felt that he had really gained a lot tonight, and heard a lot of Mei Hong's past, it turned out that Mei Hong also had such a past, and Mei Hong was so cute when she was a child, thinking of this, Shang Bai Ze Huiyin covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Hora!! Huiyin, don't make a fuss!! Master, you too!! Say no more! When Mei Hong heard Huiyin's words, she immediately shouted in embarrassment, and at the same time stretched out her little hand to try to cover Ashmida's mouth.

"Hehehe, yes, yes! The old man doesn't say it, if he doesn't say it, it's just! Hearing this, Ashmida smiled and raised his hands, signaling that he was not talking.

"..............." Ling silently finished eating a piece of watermelon, watching everyone playing, the original plain eyes flashed, and quickly reached out to the watermelon on the tray, just when she was about to get it, a small hand as white as jade slapped her palm.

"No, Suzu." Shangbai Zehuiyin looked expressionless, gently kneaded the hand he was patted on, and said seriously: "Everyone else hasn't eaten it, you can't eat it all by yourself, and children will have diarrhea if they eat so many watermelons alone." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦ I want to eat..."Suzu looked at the habit in front of her longingly, but her immature little face was still extremely stiff, and she said her thoughts flatly.

"Let's have some tea." Ashmida poured a cup of tea for Suzu from a nearby teapot and handed it over.

"........." Ling glanced at the tea, then looked at the habit, then closed his eyes and was silent for a few seconds, then opened them suddenly, and after a pity glanced at the watermelon, he took the teacup obediently, holding the teacup in both hands and drinking it in small sips.

"Huh." Ashmida smiled faintly and gently rubbed Suzu's little head, Suzu didn't seem to feel the weight on her head, and still drank the tea one by one.

"It's really good......... Huiyin looked at the bell ashamedly, feeling a big stone in her heart, when Suzu's parents were still there, Suzu was still going to school in the temple house, her parents were also Huiyin's students, she felt very distressed about what happened to Suzu, and when she wanted to adopt Suzu, she was stopped by the villagers, and she lived alone for so long, which made Huiyin blame herself, and now that Ashimida is here, it is finally a matter in Huiyin's heart.

'Cut, little ghost. Sister Hong looked at the bell dissatisfied, and when she saw Ashmida's doting smile and intimate demeanor, she suddenly felt a sense of being blocked in her heart, and she suddenly had a premonition that the little girl in front of her would become her

The Great Enemy.

1 hour later

"Huh~~Huh~" Suzu pillowed on Ashmida's thigh and let out a steady breathing sound.

"A child is a child, and when he is full, he wants to sleep." Ashmida adjusted the position of his lower thighs to make Suzu more comfortable, he gently stroked Suzu's face, Suzu felt Ashmida's touch, and gently rubbed Ashmida's palm, showing a comfortable expression on his immature little face, Ashmida couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this.

"Teacher Ashmida." Huiyin looked at Suzuna's peaceful sleeping face, and made up her mind in her heart, she fell to the ground respectfully, her head against the floor, and sincerely asked Ashmida: "Please take care of this child." ”

"Huiyin!" Mei Hong looked at Huiyin's movements with some astonishment, but she also understood that Huiyin blamed herself for her powerlessness back then, although she didn't support it much in her heart, and even had some opposition, but she finally stood by Huiyin's side.

"Don't worry, the old man can't rest assured that this child will not be relieved." Ashmida gently brushed Suzu's messy hair aside, and when she heard Suzu's steady heartbeat, she smiled kindly.

I hope Purple doesn't get angry. Ashmida agreed easily, but her heart was a little entangled, how would Yakumo Purple react if she saw a little girl appear next to him when she came over?!! Ashmida was a little afraid to think about it.
