20. On the eve of parting

When Kawashima Sumino was on the verge of collapse, she didn't know that the person she was thinking about was standing behind the bedroom door, quietly listening to her catharsis.

Yahiko Akizuki put his hand on the doorknob, but he couldn't push the door in.

It wasn't until the noise inside grew quieter, and the crying changed from howling to nothing, that he broke the doorknob and walked inside.

He walked up to Kawashima Chengno in two steps, helped her up, and then pretended to be unaware, and asked with concern, "Chengno, why did you fall?" And cried. ”

"Dragon's ......"

Kawashima Sumino raised his head and looked at Yahiko Akizuki in amazement. The next second, she shouted and hugged her:

"Dragon! Where have you been? I thought you left without a word! It scared the hell out of me! Woohoo......"

Kawashima Sumino hugged him very tightly, and the two small hands around his neck even pressed the carotid artery, making him a little congested and suffocated.

However, this is also a side reaction, Kawashima Sumino is really worried about him, and he is afraid that he didn't even say hello, so he left, right?

Yahiko Akizuki gently patted Kawashima Sumino on the back and soothed, "I'm sorry, I was just cooking lunch, and it's noon now." ”

"W-What?! It's already noon? Kawashima Sumino immediately let go of him, blinking in disbelief, his heart full of panic.

The reason for her panic is not only that she promised her mother yesterday that she would take the first train home in the morning to report that she is safe, but also that she missed class and that there are only a few hours left before they are separated.

"Well, don't worry, I've already helped you communicate with your mother, and so does the school."

"How do you communicate well?"

"Your mother called, I answered, and explained the situation to her."

"You, you took it, and, you explained the situation to your mother, but she didn't, didn't get angry?!"

Kawashima Sumino was even more shocked, so much so that he became incoherent when he spoke, and his eyes widened with roundness.

She knew her mother well.

As the mother of a teacher at the University of Tokyo, she is not only strict in her homeschooling, but also has a lot of requirements for her.

The first is that you can't associate with the opposite sex.

Not to mention dating, she can't even know and become friends, the reason is that it will affect her studies, and she is too simple-minded and easy to be deceived by scumbags.

Hawkers, to some extent, she was indeed deceived by a scumbag.

"It's a big fight, I had a big fight with her, and then she asked me to meet and bring you, otherwise she will call the police and arrest me."

"Huh?!"

"I agreed to her first, and then I went to your house to see your mother by myself, and talked to her for an hour, and she understood."

"What are you talking about? Can a paranoid person like his mother be convinced......

Kawashima Sumino was curious about what Akizuki had said to her mother, but Akizuki just smiled and said it was a secret.

Moreover, it was also a deal between him and her mother, and as a price for compromise, it was not possible to say the hour between them.

Despite her every kind of questioning, even being willful, Yahiko Akizuki just smiled and kept silent.

Seeing that she really couldn't ask, she had no choice but to give up, and then deliberately bulged both sides of her little face into a meat bun, posing very unhappy.

Yahiko Akizuki touched her head and said comfortingly, "Okay, why do you care so much about this? Come and eat, it's going to be cold. ”

“…… Hum. ”

Kawashima Sumino snorted, waved Akizuki Yahiko's hand, took small steps, walked out of the bedroom alone, and came to the living room to sit down.

Yahiko Akizuki looked at her stumbling figure, laughed helplessly, and then left the bedroom with her.

When he came to the table and sat down, Kawashima Sumino looked at him directly and asked, "Long'er, did you do this on purpose?" ”

Yahiko Akizuki smiled and asked knowingly, "Huh?" No, why do you say that? ”

"Because of these...... It's all my favorite food. ”

Kawashima Sumino lowered his head and shifted his gaze to the cream stew, black pepper pork chops, and grilled eel in sauce on the table......

These dishes are all she likes to eat, but she never told Yahiko Akizuki, why would Yahiko Akizuki know?

Suddenly, she thought of her mother, and everything was clear in an instant.

It seems that Yahiko Akizuki has already made up his mind to say goodbye to her in a few hours, so he has prepared such a hearty lunch.

Yahiko Akizuki picked up a piece of eel wrapped in a thick dark brown sauce, put it in a bowl of Kawashima Sumino, and said, "Try it, although I know how to cook, this is the first time I've tried Japanese food like this, but fortunately, it's relatively simple." ”

Japanese cuisine is really simple, because there is no stir-frying process, and most dishes can be done by just stewing and deep-frying.

That's it for cream stews, just follow the steps and put it in.

Black pepper pork chops are fried, cut and marinated for half an hour in advance, flour-coated and fried until medium-rare, and then become medium-rare by the residual temperature, and a sauce is mixed and sprinkled.

As for the eel, it's a bit of a hassle, and he uses the flavor to fry the fish, just like he does in a Chinese dish.

"Dragon's ......"

Kawashima Sumino called his name in despair, picked up chopsticks, and ate the eel into his mouth.

Obviously, this should be a sweet and salty taste, but because of the loss in her heart, the tip of her tongue is bitter, causing her to feel like chewing wax and has no taste.

"Is it delicious?"

“……”

"Yes, I didn't taste it...... I'm sorry for making you so sad because of my existence. ”

Akizuki Yahiko's self-deprecating words made Kawashima Sumino suddenly raise his head and subconsciously retorted: "Long'er didn't make me sad!" On the contrary, the dragon still makes me very happy! But, but...... Woo, I'm so happy, that's why I'm reluctant, I still want to eat the food cooked by Long'er again, and I want to be hugged by Long'er, touch my head, and smile at me! But there's no next time for these, and I know that there will be no next time, so why am I like this now? Why is it so unpleasant at the last moment? It's so annoying, like this, I've already started, and I can't even understand myself......"

By the end of the day, she couldn't stop crying, and the dry tears poured out again, and the world in front of her became a blur.

Yahiko Akizuki sat silently in his chair and did not comfort Kawashima Sumino.

Because, his gentleness is a deadly poison, and whenever he treats her gently, the poison eats away at her heart and makes her full of holes.

"Long'er, this feeling is really annoying, reason is saying to let you go, don't keep you, but the subconscious is constantly encouraging me to let me keep you...... What the hell am I going to do? Dragons. ”

Kawashima Sumino lowered his head, covered his eyes with both hands, and sobbed on the ground, tears dripping from his fingers and falling to the ground.
