Chapter Seventy-Four: No matter when, Sakakihara still has to persevere

"Lele! Lele! It's over, it's over! ”

As soon as he came home from grocery shopping, Sakakihara saw his old sister rushing out of the house barefoot with her mobile phone. The feet clattered on the floor.

"What's the end? In such a hurry, I didn't wear shoes. ”

Tianhai Jiu Ruri, who was helping to carry the dishes, also looked at her sister sauce, who was only wearing a white shirt and shorts, suspiciously: "Suzu, what's wrong?" ”

"That, that...... Wait," Sakakihara Suzu just wanted to speak, and saw that in addition to a large number of dishes in his hand, there was also a small gift box packaged in carbon black, which looked particularly exquisite, "What is the gift box in your hand?" ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue changed her small leather shoes and stood in the hallway, she heard her sister's question, leaned sideways and poked her head out from her sister's shoulder, raised a finger and said:

"It's a beautiful girl's gift to my brother, just this afternoon."

Very beautiful...... Girl...?

......

I don't know why, anyway, Sakakihara Suzu inexplicably disliked that gift, and her eyes changed.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What kind of eyes do you have? ”

"Very incredible looks! Also, what did she give you? Why send you. ”

Sakakihara explained: "Didn't you help a girl before, and she wanted to thank me, so she gave me a silver pocket watch. ”

"Pocket watches? In recent years, there are even pocket watches as a thank you gift, let me see. ”

Sakakihara handed her the gift box.

Sakakihara Raku opens the box.

Although she didn't know about watches, she knew that this gift was definitely worth a lot of money when she saw the shiny silver reflective texture on the surface of this pocket watch.

"Patk Pilip, what is this?"

"It's Patek Philippe, Patek Philippe." Tianhai Qi Mingyue said it in standard German on the side.

"It turned out to be this brand." Sakakihara Suzu played with it for a while, lost interest, repacked the box, and gave it back to Sakakihara Le, "There will actually be other girls who will give you gifts." ”

Tianhai Jiuliuli interjected and asked, "Wasn't my brother unpopular before?" ”

"No, when he was in middle school, many girls wrote love letters to him."

"Brother accepted?"

"No, he said that none of the relationships in the country are reliable."

"Has Suzu-chan talked about it?" Qi Mingyue asked.

"Me? Who likes that group of children, they are too naΓ―ve, in order to play a game console, snatching around. ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue looked at her: "I feel that my sister sauce has been influenced by my brother." ”

"What does this have to do with my brother?"

"It's a big deal." Tianhai Qi Mingyue stood up from her sister's side and asked again, "Does my brother want to fall in love?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It can only be said that there are ideas. ”

"Alas~~" Sakakihara Suzu looked disgusted.

"What! No, you can't. ”

"Who likes an old man?"

"Someone definitely likes it, even though no one has handed me a love letter this semester so far."

Alas......

Sakakihara Le finally came out of the shadow of being tricked by his sister for a whole month, and he wanted to fall in love, but since he understood who the person he liked was, it all turned sour.

Because the object is his sister-in-law, this is not active, nor is it passive.

Belonging is a dilemma.

Sakakihara Le sighed in his heart, and asked Sakakihara Suzu with a normal expression:

"So, Ah Ling, what you just said is over, what is the end?"

"Monthly test! My name is also on the list! ”

Monthly test.

Sakakihara remembered that Ah Ling took the exam for more than 100 people.

"And then?"

"Then a classmate found out that we both had the same last name! There were already a lot of people in the class asking me what was the relationship between Sakakihara-kun, who was third in that grade, and Suzu-chan?' and 'It couldn't be Suzu-chan's brother.' ”

Sakakihara Suzu still had some classmates who didn't say it.

Because there are also some classmates who patted Sakakihara Raku's ass by the way.

"Suzu-chan's brother is so handsome", "The handsome guy in the archery department", "The serious appearance of wearing a hakama and pulling the bow really poked her", "The whole archery department seems to be more handsome than him......

And so on and so forth.

Anyway, Suzu Sakakihara was calloused at school.

But in order to maintain her image in school, she had to smile and respond.

Actually?

Stinky music is smelly music... What's so handsome!

And it's just a bow, ordinary.

"Oh." Sakakihara nodded to her, handed over the vegetables and duck meat she bought to Jiu Ruri, and she put them in the refrigerator in the kitchen.

"Oh..... Oh...? Our relationship has been dismantled, is this the only reaction? ”

"It's normal, from the beginning, I didn't think you could hide our relationship for long."

"What if everyone finds out?"

"That's it, if you know, you'll know, it's nothing more than - ah, it turns out that Suzu-chan has a brother, etc., and so on."

Sakakihara Suzu puffed out one cheek and muttered like a bun: "What if someone scolds you because of my work?" ”

Sakakihara Le directly slapped the only gift box in his hand on her head: "You are a stinky newcomer with less than 10,000 followers, what are you worried about, I will be scolded." ”

"Stinky, smelly newcomer?!" The angel girl got angry and snatched away the hand he put on her head, clasped her hands on her chest, raised her chin, and pouted her mouth, "Stinky Lele!" ”

Sakakihara Le took back the gift box and spread it helplessly: "You can call me a stinky brother, can you not call me Lele, this title always reminds me of a very unfriendly memory." ”

Tianhai Qimingyue, who was quietly watching the play on the side, barely became a little interested at this time: "What memory?" ”

"Black History." Sakakihara Le's answer was as short as possible, he didn't want to recall the bits and pieces he had with that female netizen at all,

"Okay, tell you one more thing, we're going to a tea party on the weekend."

"Tea party?"

"Ah, to be precise, the birthday tea party is very important, Uncle Tianhai and Mom will also go over."

"This weekend?"

"It's not."

"That's not good, I've made an appointment with Kanno-chan to go out next weekend and go to the amusement park, and I can't break the contract."

"The tea party is next weekend."

"Oh, that's good. By the way, what is it for someone's birthday, Uncle Tianhai and his mother are actually going, Uncle Tianhai's friend? ”

Sakakihara glanced back at the Seven Bright Moons of the Heavenly Sea with her long flaxen hair draped behind her, and her eyes shone with a beautiful light.

What should be said about this relationship?

He thought for a moment.

"Your uncle's friend's daughter."

"Uncle?! We still have an uncle? Mom doesn't have no siblings? ”

"Uh, to be exact, the uncle of Qi Mingyue and Jiu Liuli."

"Who's that?"

"Tachibana Kiyohara."

"I haven't heard of it... But it's familiar, and it's like I've heard it. ”

"Tachibana Kiyohara is the vice principal of our school."

β€œ...... Well? Suzu Sakakihara took two seconds to clear her mind, "Is the vice principal their uncle?" ”

"Yes. Although we don't have an uncle's relationship... But thanks to the blessing of Qi Mingyue and Jiu Liuli, we also climbed a little relationship. ”

Suzu Sakakihara took a deep breath.

"What are you doing?" Sakakihara glanced her up and down.

"Does that mean I can do whatever I want in school?!"

β€œ...... What's going on in your head. ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue said: "My sister sauce is unexpectedly cute. ”

"What does this have to do with cuteness... It's capricious. Sakakihara said with a sigh.

"What, I'm super ~~ cute!"

"Huh? What are you doing? ”

Sakakihara found that Suzu actually came directly to his side and hugged his right arm. The softness of her arm was passed over inadvertently.

"Do your homework, do your homework, you teach me quickly."

"I have to cook."

"Eat later today!"

Suzu Sakakihara walked to the living room with Sakakihara Raku's arm in her arms, glancing at the seven bright moons of the sky in the sky behind her.

Tianhai Qi Mingyue silently watched the back of the two of them walking into the living room from behind, the shoulder bag was carried in front of the skirt, and there was a shallow smile on the delicate face.

"Has sister-chan started?"

......

Sakakihara Le, I don't know if Ah Ling has changed her mind or what, and suddenly becomes diligent and studious.

Keep asking yourself how to do this question, what is the idea of this question, and what knowledge points and conditions need to be memorized.

Although she was a little tired of tutoring her with all the questions, she was still very relieved to see that she finally didn't say to herself in that impatient tone at home, "Brother, can you help me do it~".

It's just that she got a little too close, which made Sakakihara a little embarrassed.

"Huh?"

"Well, what, brother, you're not talking about the topic?"

"Did you just take a shower?"

"I washed it when I got home, how about it, isn't it fragrant?" Suzu Sakakihara said, and raised one sleeve to smell him.

"Huh?"

"Huh, what?"

"You're wearing my shirt, aren't you?"

"Ah, this," Suzu Sakakihara looked down twice, "and I'll wear it." ”

What does it mean to wear it easily... You explain it to me, hey!

"Don't just take my clothes and wear them."

"What, I haven't disliked the smell of your clothes, and you have an invincible beautiful girl's sister willing to wear your clothes, shouldn't you feel honored?"

"It's such an honor that the sister of the invincible beautiful girl actually snatched my clothes."

"And this shirt is very loose to wear, it just so happens that my T-shirt is worn out, so I'll use yours to make up for it." Suzu Sakakihara said, deliberately lengthening her sleeves and flicking the cuffs in front of him.

"First of all, I want to state that I wear a shirt for a maximum of one day, and there is absolutely no taste."

"Absolutely! Even if you wash it, it will smell, and it is definitely not the smell of laundry detergent. ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue, who was sitting opposite the two, helped her gold wire glasses and glanced at Sakakihara Suzu: "So, how does my sister-chan know that my brother's shirt has a taste?" ”

Sakakihara Suzu did not show weakness: "I wore it on my body, of course I know." ”

"Huh? Haven't you smelled it? ”

"Who, who would do such a perverted thing......" Sakakihara Suzu immediately turned the spearhead, "Isn't it you, perverted sister control!" Sniffing my sister's clothes. ”

"In order to get rid of suspicion, you don't have to shift the topic to me, and I'm not a sister control."

Tianhai Qimingyue smiled slightly, didn't speak again, lowered her head again, pinched the gel pen of the shark cap with her slender hand, and continued to write her homework.

...... It's not that Sakakihara doesn't understand, seeing the arrogant look of Ah Ling who wants to hide something, he can understand that she is really taking her own clothes...

Suzu Sakakihara looked at him with sharp eyes, as if she was questioning him, do you think I really am that kind of person?

Ahem, I don't know anything about Sakakihara.

Besides, Ah Ling may just want to make sure that the shirt can be worn.

It's like some people have a super weird fetish - you have to smell your socks when you take them off.

Some people also smell it before putting on clothes to see if it smells.

Yes, that's right, that's it.

After discussing this topic, the four-person homework team was much quieter.

......

Although I've had a lot of contact with Ah Ling, I've always looked at her intentionally or unintentionally since Sakakihara Le found out that he had a crush on Jiu Ruri.

She has always been quiet in her homework, and her cheeks, the tip of her nose, her lips, and her facial features that look perfect everywhere make her serious study even more attractive.

"Brother, this question."

"Huh? Let me see. Sakakihara leaned over.

The key is that she also calls her brother, who is very gentle and kind.

To be honest, although she is her brother, Sakakihara feels more like her sister, maybe her personality is too gentle.

But in fact, if you sober up a little, you can still find the petite side of her.

The kind of petite youth that only high school girls have.

A smiling, good-looking, and gentle sister.

I feel like I'm staying with her, the air around me is sweet, and my heart is warm.

Occasionally peeking at her, the long flaxen-colored hair, the serious and upright sitting posture, and the way she thinks with her cheeks held will always make people look at it inadvertently, and they will be fascinated.

That's right, who doesn't like Tianhai Nine Glass?

In the archery department, everyone also shouted enthusiastically "Minister Amami, Minister Amami".

Most of the newcomers who have recently joined the company are also because she stayed. When Minister Tianhai was away, he could always hear their praise and love for Jiuliuli in private.

A beautiful girl with good academic performance, perfect personality, mixed race of the three countries, and like a dream.

If only he could pursue it normally - Sakakihara couldn't help but think.

Alas, distressed.

Sakakihara sighed and stood up on his knees, "I'll go get some dessert, do you have anything you want to eat?" ”

"Potato chips."

"Cake."

"A glass of water will be fine, thank you, brother."

When Tianhai Jiuliuli got up, he stopped the pen in his hand and showed him an amiable smile.

This smile is most likely unintentional.

But in Sakakihara's view, this smile is like all kinds of flowers covering the entire grassland, and when a gust of wind blows, the flowers and leaves will sway with the blue sky and white clouds, and the heart is relaxed.

Alas, what are you doing with so many metaphors, just say it's good-looking.

......

Cooking, running, bathing.

It was nine o'clock in the evening.

Finally got a moment of leisure, Sakakihara soaked in the bathtub, hot water flooded his body, and put his hands on the edge of the bathtub.

His eyes converged in the rising haze, and the intense warm light of the bathroom made his eyes blur, as if he had entered a place of mist.

He looked up tightly, and in addition to the nine glasses, he was still thinking about the nine glasses.

The relationship between him and Jiu Liuli is like the ceiling of a new house overhead, becoming more and more familiar, but there is no chance to really get close.

For the next few days, most of them lived the same days.

Go to school, get out of class, and then participate in club activities, go home to tutor homework, because Ah Ling's recent animation is about to finish the finishing work, so she is also a little idle during this time.

As for her progression, to be honest, she has only been on the move for two days.

I don't know if it's because Sakakihara will cook whatever she wants to eat, but now she's back to the big white pig lying on the sofa.

Returned to the real sense of life waste.

Clothes can't be washed, meals can't be cooked, garbage classification can't be remembered (don't want to remember), the bedroom is messy every three or five days, I don't like to take care of it, and my brother has to help her fold the quilt.

She can often be heard asking herself, "Brother, do you see my headphones?"

Ah, by the way, in fact, the seven bright moons in the sky and sea are similar.

Sakakihara felt that she was addicted to potato chips and fried rice, and if she didn't eat it for a day, she looked at herself quietly with that look.

Running, studying, running, club activities, helping my sister with homework, previewing knowledge for yourself, and increasing knowledge points.

In the next month, it will surpass the seven bright moons, which is definitely not just talking.

In order to provide them with a satisfactory meal, Sakakihara also got up early and worked greedily to prepare the ingredients, and spent ten minutes deciding what to cook for them to eat and what to make breakfast today.

Lin Lin always has to be busy for more than an hour.

Many times, Sakakihara Raku holds the wok and can't help but think - how do I seem to be their mother?

But if you think about it carefully, for more than ten years, she has indeed played the role of half of Ah Ling's father.

To say complain, he doesn't want to complain.

He didn't know why, but felt that it was the way it should be.

I am my brother, and my parents are busy people, and my sisters can't cook, so naturally they can only come by themselves.

I'm an older brother, so there's nothing wrong with taking care of them a little more.

It was probably more than a decade of habit that prompted him to develop such a sense of responsibility.

...... In order to help her consolidate her knowledge and finish her homework, Sakakihara also made an outline of a study plan for the classes she lost.

Topic explanation, knowledge points that must be memorized, question type question bank...

It's not much, it's just that there are not a few gel pens.

I often finish writing today's study syllabus, and when I look at the time again, it is already two o'clock in the middle of the night.

After walking to the window and looking at the high night view of Tokyo for a while, Sakakihara turned around and turned off the alarm clock and went back to bed.

The next day, I slept for four hours, woke up at six o'clock, and continued to do the same thing, finishing my lunch box for breakfast and lunch.

This has been going on for a week.

"Feeling, my brother has been getting more and more tired lately? Would you like to take a little more rest? ”

Tianhai Jiu Liuli, who got up early, would help him with some vegetables, and it was at this time that she would ask herself something like this.

It is a happy thing to be cared for by Jiuliuli.

So even if he is a little tired, even if Jiu Ruri asks again and again, Sakakihara will respond with a smile, it's okay, don't worry.

He felt that he couldn't give them anything as an elder brother, he was also an ordinary person, all he could do was to try to cook some meals they liked to eat, and then ......

Sakakihara Raku, who was holding a rice pot, suddenly found that the bright living room in front of him couldn't stop shaking.

Earthquake?

It's not like it's right......

He turned his head, and then, the figure of Jiu Liuli, who was helping to wash the vegetables beside him, also began to twist and blacken, he shook his head, held his forehead, frowned and closed his eyes.

Have you been sleeping less lately?

Looks like I'm going to sleep a little more today.

Sakakihara slowed down and straightened up again.

"Brother, the cabbage is washed."

Tianhai Jiu Ruri was holding the freshly washed cabbage, and as soon as he turned around, he found that Sakakihara had fallen to the side.
