Nine glazes in the sky and sea.

In Kamihara's impression, glass is a colorful object.

As it diffuses, it has always been a positive and optimistic attitude.

The same goes for Tianhai Nine Glass... Serious, gentle, is an extroverted personality but has its own introverted.

Well, such a down-and-out girl also has times when she is unhappy. As I listened to her talk about her mother, the June rain was still falling softly and slowly outside.

"When I was a child, I lived with Nanagizuki in Chiyoda Ward's house, a home that I still know very well, with crooked trees, weeds sticking their heads out of the middle of the road stones, creepers and mottled iron gates.

"Because I can't go out of the house, after practicing the piano with Qi Mingyue in the morning, we always sit together, looking at the window higher than us, and see the blue sky and the birds chirping on the branches. We will watch quietly for a long time, sunny, rainy, cloudy... We observed that the least number of birds stayed in windy weather. ”

Tianhai Jiu Liuli smiled lightly.

"Qi Mingyue often pointed to the bird and said to me, that one is called a sparrow, that one is called a white wagtail, that one is a starling, and that one is called a thrush. She also told me that thrushes generally only appear in autumn and winter, so they are rarely seen most of the time. ”

Kamihara Le noticed that Jiu Liuli had a smile on his face when he said this paragraph.

Bird watching while resting... This kind of thing that is particularly boring for children who are active by nature is as happy as getting a beloved toy in Jiuliuli's mouth.

"Uncle used to let you learn a lot of things, right?" Kamihara remembered Kururi's piano performance on the day of the dinner.

"Well, etiquette, calligraphy, literary talent, sitting and standing are all things to learn. Everything is studied for a long time, and many times it takes a whole day to learn. ”

"Won't you get bored?"

"Boring? I can't put it into words, maybe there is... Practice for a day, a week, a month, a year, every day... Well, I think there is boredom, but I also know that this is something I have to learn, and I have to insist on it when my fingers hurt, which is probably numbness.

"However, although Mom and Dad are very strict, Qi Mingyue and I don't blame them, because we know that they are for our good. In fact, I've learned a lot from it now. ”

Now Jiuliuli has excellent grades, excellent sports, excellent piano, and archery is also the first in the school.

It must have been influenced by my childhood.

"At that time, I was very tired and tired, there was almost no time to rest, piano in the morning, calligraphy in the afternoon, etiquette in the evening... Dad arranged a lot of teachers for me and Qi Mingyue, and at the same time, in order to avoid reporters who inquired about my mother's news from disturbing us, we hid in that room most of the time and couldn't come out. ”

Kamihara still remembers what Kururi said to him about his mother.

A popular star in the prime of life in the UK was suddenly revealed to be pregnant, and the entire entertainment industry is tracking her husband's identity.

Later, the identity of Uncle Tianhai was found, and everyone knew that he was the first heir of a traditional family pharmaceutical company group in Japan.

Knowing her husband, the reporters turned their attention to their children, who had never been seen.

Everyone wants to know what it's like for a child with a big star's secret to be nearby.

At that time, the family was unbearable, which indirectly led to the failure of the marriage of the uncle and aunt.

"Before I was five years old, my mother would spend most of my time with me for seven bright moons. When I was five years old, my mom and dad divorced... I don't know why, but they had a fight at the time, and I didn't understand the content at the time, and I don't remember it now. But I vaguely realized that it was about the future development direction of me and Qi Mingyue. ”

Kamihara Le held the teacup and frowned: "Is it the idea that my aunt wants to take you and Qi Mingyue abroad?" ”

"Hmm." Tianhai Jiu Liuli nodded, "I can't remember the content clearly, but my father and mother have different opinions, because of the talent I and Qi Mingyue showed in music, my mother wants me and Qi Mingyue to go abroad to develop and go to school abroad."

At the age of 10, she went to participate in a Liszt International Piano Competition and won the first prize, at the age of 11, the Ettlingen International Piano Competition in Germany, the Tchaikovsky International Competition for Young Musicians at the age of 12, and at the age of 14, she won the gold medal of Chopin International Piano..... Seven bright moons are the same as me.

"My mother said to me and Qi Mingyue, you are very good, and as twin sisters, if you appear on the world stage with such a young attitude, the next road, whether it is in the music festival or the entertainment industry, will attract the attention of the whole world."

This is the pressure that Aunt Bertha put on Jiu Liuli and Qi Mingyue.

At a young age, he had to compete in various international competitions.

Tianhai Jiu Liuli continued: "Dad has the opposite opinion, it is impossible for him to let Mom take me and Qi Mingyue abroad. I didn't understand it at the time, but I know now, he doesn't like those foreign media reporters, he thinks that Qi Mingyue and I have been harassed by those guys, and now he has to take the initiative to run over to meet them? ”

Uncle did a good job.

Although the aunt is a little more radical, with Jiu Liuli's talent in the piano, she definitely has a smooth sailing career.

No, with Aunt Bertha's top influence in the European entertainment industry, her twin daughters, Jiu Liuli and Qi Mingyue's achievements after can't be described as "smooth sailing".

It should be "overwhelming".

Both parents can only say that the starting point is different.

However, what matters is the opinions of Jiu Liuli and Qi Mingyue themselves.

But for adults... I really don't think much about my child's feelings when making big decisions.

"What do children know" is a common phrase on the lips of all parents.

"What did you think of Jiuliuli at the time?"

This sentence made Tianhai Jiuliuli silent for a long time.

"At that time, I was too young, and I just knew that my parents were going to separate. I don't really understand why, I just know that they are going to separate......"

“... Nine glasses? ”

"I'm sorry, brother, I'm a little distracted."

Tianhai Jiuliuli smiled at him again.

Shen Yuanle's heart is blocked at this time, because of differences of opinion, it is understandable to divorce, but it is the children who are hurt.

As a child, you will always expect a response from your parents.

The age is a little too long, but Kamihara Le also vaguely remembers the last life, when he was still a little child, crying to find his mother...... There's nothing to be embarrassed about, it's just human nature.

Although in the end, I didn't find my mother......

Jiuliuli must also be in this mood.

Looking at my mother, who has been with and relied on since childhood, took a plane and flew thousands of kilometers away to the United Kingdom. The little figure watched by the window, missing her mother... It's heart-wrenching to think about.

Thinking of the photo of Jiu Liuli and his mother when he was a child that he had seen on Qi Mingyue's mobile phone before, Jiu Liuli when he was a child compared the cute smile of scissor hands to the camera, and Kamihara Le's chest was bored.

After so many years, Jiuliuli is still very happy and smiles generously...

The smile does not mean that she is relieved of this matter in her heart, but as Qi Mingyue said, "Sister has been hiding it all along."

The quarrel between her mother and Uncle Tianhai probably evoked Jiuliuli's memories of the past.

caused her to feel uncomfortable.

"Because the divorce is accepted by a Japanese court... The custody of Qi Mingyue and I was sentenced to my father's hands.

"On the day of separation, my mother smiled and said hello to me and Qi Mingyue, she smiled and touched our heads, then left with her suitcase and went back to the UK...... At that time, Qi Mingyue and I watched my mother get on the plane, and I remember that she was wearing a beautiful white dress and a summer straw hat with white flowers... As we walked, she turned around and waved to us......"

"Jiu Liuli, don't say it's uncomfortable." Kamihara gradually sensed that something was wrong with her.

"It's okay, brother... It's been so many years......" Tianhai Jiu Liuli smiled again, his eyes were very beautiful.

Talking about the past.

Actually, I still care a lot in my heart...

For the first time, Kamihara Le deeply experienced the difficulties in Jiu Liuli's heart.

After taking a sip of tea, Tianhai Jiuliuli held the cup in both hands, looked at the reflection in the cup and continued:

"Before that, although I was very tired every day and was very busy studying every day, my mother would still secretly take us out of the house that was half occupied by creepers, and secretly took me and Qi Mingyue out to eat some delicious food, see some entertainment facilities that we had never seen before, and children we had never known......

"Even though it was possible to be photographed by some strange strangers, she still took me and Qi Mingyue out...... I still remember that the most common question children asked at that time was, 'Why do you look the same?' ’... I can't answer, Qi Mingyue can also briefly say that she and her sister are twins.

"Mom is gone, Dad rarely takes us out... It's more about wanting to protect us. Because when my mother secretly took us out, we were secretly photographed, and at that time, many people suddenly gathered in front of my mother and asked some very messy and chaotic things that I couldn't understand..... Qi Mingyue and I could only hide behind our mother, not knowing what to do.

"In the following days, in order to replace my mother's time with me and Qi Mingyue, my father began to take some time out to take me and Qi Mingyue to his study together...... Dad's study has a lot of books, books that can be understood, and books that can't be understood. Usually my father will let me and Qi Mingyue learn to write, and there are also etiquette requirements. In the study, he didn't limit anything, even Qi Mingyue wouldn't mind putting his books on the ground at will, and he would occasionally tell us stories, although they were all stories that he didn't understand......"

"Because Qi Mingyue learns words faster than me, she reads a little more and more seriously than me. I was more likely to get distracted, and I often looked at the iron door of the front yard behind the glass window of my father's study, imagining my father telling us that my mother had returned from England, imagining my mother getting out of the small car at the door, carrying a bag, and bringing me and Qi Mingyue a lot of delicious British snacks. ”

"Don't you have a servant at home?" Kamihara asked.

"At first, there were, and then I didn't." Tianhai Jiuliuli didn't seem to explain the reason for this, "After my mother divorced, she would come back to visit us every other month at first, but the time was getting farther and farther apart, one month, two months, three months, half a year, and a year......

"Since then, I haven't waited for my mother for more than a year, and I ...... Every night when I fell asleep in Qimingyue, I would take my mother to give me a gift, sneak to my father's study, sit quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and look at the rusty iron door outside... I think, should, if I wait a little longer for my mother, she will come back to see me and Qi Mingyue, right? What will you bring to see us this time? Qi Mingyue should be very happy too, right? ”

Tianhai Jiuliuli's tone became more and more depressed, in this rainy weather.

Uncomfortable... The more I listened to it, the more uncomfortable it became.

Try to imagine that in the middle of the night, a little girl sneaks up and goes to the window, hugging her legs, quietly waiting for her mother to come back to visit her and her sister, hoping that she will bring new toys and snacks again.

The appearance of waiting quietly alone made Shen Yuanle feel very distressed in his heart.

How long did she wait?

I guess I will miss my mother and wait for a few hours or a whole night, and it will last for another year, which is possible.

But Jiu Liuli is the kind of child who is very sensible, and he won't take the initiative to tell his parents what he wants... This means that she endures everything in her heart.

Indirectly, Kamihara couldn't help but ask Aunt Bertha to get up.

Why don't you come to see your daughter for a year?

Any idea how hard she waited?

In the air that seemed to be endlessly silent, Kamihara saw that she was in an uncomfortable mood, and subconsciously reached out and grabbed her petite shoulder.

so that she can lean on her shoulder.

Tianhai Jiu Liuli did not show resistance.

Instead, after leaning in, I was a little relieved and looked at Tokyo through the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows in silence.

......

If Jiuliuli and Qimingyue in childhood were half a pair of caged birds, then in their lives, mothers go out to observe the windows of the world, the kind of novelty that they have never seen before, the happiness of never knowing other children, and eating things that have never been eaten.

It's not unimportant.

The beloved father and mother suddenly separated, and they will never see the mother they liked before, and there will be no more tired but still complete and happy family before.

Jiu Liuli's heart bears these things.

Shen Yuan Le understood this, looked at the little face of Tianhai Jiu Liuli, and felt a little more understanding.

No matter how mature Jiu Liuli is, no matter how much she has the responsibility of a gentle sister, she is still fifteen years old. She felt uncomfortable in her heart, so she didn't choose to cry and pray, but silently sealed this feeling in her heart.

As a sister, Jiu Liuli must have known herself very early.

I know that I can't show my weak side in front of my sister, so I make myself strong and good enough to take everything over gradually.

Kamihara glanced at the clock in the living room, it was already six o'clock in the evening.

The large living room and floor-to-ceiling windows offer a high-rise view of the entire city. The gray rain seemed to soak everything, making the edges and corners of the city cold and dark.

"Nine glasses." Kamihara exhaled, as if to help her relax, and shouted at her with a smile.

"Hmm." Tianhai Jiu Liuli gently left his shoulder.

"Is there anything you'd like to eat?"

"Now?"

"Yes, it's six o'clock, so I must be hungry. I can understand your unhappiness, but it's not your fault that your parents quarreled, and I also know how you felt when your parents divorced when you were a child, haha, if I say anything I can completely comfort you and take you out of that sad thing completely, it must be talking big...... However, as a listener, it is okay to share some of your unhappiness. ”

Kamihara said with a smile.

felt that it was not enough to talk like this, so he talked about himself again:

"I don't own the story you said, and I don't care if Daddy suddenly disappears... But I can fully understand your feelings, and imagine your feelings of anticipation and waiting...... It's funny to say, when Ah Ling and I were young, all we looked forward to was money and bread, and Ah Ling had one more toy.

"I remember it was on a snowy day, as if in a fairy tale, and I took Suzu back home from my mother's house in the evening, and walked to the shopping street, and she was attracted by a doll. The doll's eyes and smile were cute, and Suzu liked it at first sight. I still remember that she was in the snow, with her feet on her feet, looking at the window, and she turned to me and said, I want this.

Her tone was pleading, even expectant, but I could only smile bitterly.

"5800 yen... Don't eat meat, choose some tofu or something, this is equivalent to half a month's meal, where can I afford it......

"I told Ah Ling very realistically, we can't afford it now, and it is impossible to buy it for you. When Ah Ling heard this, she was very sad and sad, but I then told her that we can't afford it now, but we will definitely be able to afford it in the future, believe my brother, and my brother will help you buy it in the future...... I smiled at her and held out my little finger, and she trusted me very much at that time, and smiled at me, and made a promise between brother and sister.

"I said that because I always believed in one thing.

"At the bottom, there is only one way left... The scenery at the bottom of the valley is not completely dark, and when you look up on the ground, there must be a glimmer of hope ahead.

"Just work hard, just work hard. Complaining can't change the status quo, and that's what my mother has always done.

And now the fact is the same, the mother who came out of the valley has a good job, a good life, and Ah Ling can afford to buy what she wants... Although I no longer need to go under the vending machine to pick up coins to buy snacks, it is good to see that she is comfortable......

"Haha, saying so much, I actually still hope that Jiuliuli you don't overindulge in the past! Mother is very important to you, Qi Mingyue and Uncle Tianhai are also very important to you, they don't want Jiu Liuli to be unhappy and suffocated by the past... As an elder brother, I don't want you to be unhappy!

"So, be happy, I can cook for you!

"Haha, such a serious self-proclaimed brother, wouldn't Jiu Liuli feel strange?"

"No, my brother is a really good brother, and I usually take a lot of care of me."

"Well, if only you could think so. I always believe that in a family, feelings are far more important than blood, feelings are the fetters of family, and blood... Haha, isn't it time to abandon it? Therefore, now there is a nine glass that everyone cares about, and it should not stay in the past! ”

"Brother......

Tianhai Jiuliuli shouted softly, this brother, shouted with a special feeling.

Because she could carefully observe that Kamihara was smiling to help her dispel sadness and the boredom of the rainy day.

"I'll get you something to eat." Kamihara said with a cheerful smile at her.

"Hmm."

"Sit down, don't come to help! Let me make you a meal alone, which can be regarded as my brother's care and care for my sad sister. ”

“......”

When I came to the kitchen, I found that the ingredients were only potatoes and bread.

Let's keep it simple, butter bread slices with baked potatoes.

The bread is fried in butter, the potatoes are diced, the processed onions, rosemary, salt, black pepper, cheese are added, and the oven is baked at 190 degrees for half an hour. During this period, I made some hors d'oeuvres that I had made for Jiu Liuli before, and warmed a glass of milk.

Tianhai Jiu Liuli silently watched his neat movements the whole time.

In order to ensure that there is no problem with the taste, Kamihara Raku washes everything very cleanly.

When everything was done, Shen Yuan Le brought the things to the front of Jiu Liuli.

"It's done. Baked potatoes can be sandwiched into butter bread slices. I wanted to make you some meat to eat, but today I went home and went for a run, haha, I forgot to buy groceries. ”

“......”

Tianhai Jiu Liuli looked at the food he enthusiastically brought to him and stared at it for a long time.

The potatoes are hot and have a unique aroma of baking.

Familiar scent... But it's completely different......

Her mind seemed to drift back to the previous ......

Kamihara found out that she had seen such food for a long, long time.

Then, she said, she picked up the spoon and took a light sip.

"How?"

Habitual inquiries blurted out... Kamihara Le thought that she would directly say thank you brother, but unexpectedly, the corners of her eyes had a little crystal light.

Something is wrong, how is this still ... Crying?

Is your homemade meal so delicious?
