Chapter 3 Terashima Lingqiao
The cherry blossoms in Takada Town are in full bloom, and a gentle breeze arrives, and a few cherry blossom petals float over the heads of passers-by.
In response to the haiku: The world is crowded, and the cherry blossoms are silently fleeting, relatively instantaneous.
Terashimagawa opened the door and entered the house, thinking about the incident that he had just met Haruna Ayase. Unexpectedly, the other party was already married, and Rumi Ayase turned out to be her daughter....
He was standing in the hallway about to take off his shoes, and suddenly saw a pair of neat summer boots in the hallway.
He chuckled inwardly, quickened his pace slightly, and walked towards the living room.
Sure enough, a cold-looking, rather tall woman was opening the window to ventilate the room.
"You're back?"
Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Ryoshima turned slightly sideways and turned his head to look at the comer.
Almost subconsciously, as soon as Terashimakawa's gaze fell on the other party, a transparent information bar interface appeared.
[Character: Terashima Lingji]
[Charm: 8]
[Identity: Terashimagawa's sister]
[Intelligence: No permission]

Why did she get here?!
Terashimagawa was surprised, how did his sister, who is a junior at a women's university, suddenly appear at home?
However, there was still no abnormality on his face, and in the face of his sister who reorganized the family, he coughed dryly and asked, "Sister, why are you here?" β
Tejima has a cold face, a thin body, and is tall. Her long blond hair was tied in a high ponytail, she was wearing high-waisted straight-leg pants, and the corners of her cotton shirt were knotted into a simple bow, which added a bit of cold temperament to her.
She walked in front of Terashima River and stopped, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "When my parents passed away, we said that we would go our separate ways, but we only agreed that I would come back here to clean up once in two weeks, have you forgotten?" β
When Terashima was in the first grade of junior high school, her biological father was addicted to gambling and incurred a lot of debts, and later abandoned their mother and daughter.
's mother remarried, although she would strongly oppose it, after all, her impression of the role of her father since she was a child was to quarrel with her mother, ask for money, and smash things at every turn....
But life in a single-parent family is difficult, and it is useless for her to oppose it.
At that time, Teerashima brought his hostility towards his stepfather to the unrelated brother in front of him, and hated him as much as he hated the role of his stepfather.
After all, in the family of how to put it together, she is not bad, but after all, she can't treat it as if she has come out.
"I haven't forgotten, but I went to the school today to get the admission letter, so I came back a little late." Terashimagawa explained.
"Which university did you get into?" Tejima asked.
"Nagoya University."
Tejima only nodded after hearing this, then kept silent, took the rag to the square windowsill, and carefully wiped the glass window.
The twilight glow shone on the woman's delicate face, and her amber eyes revealed tiredness and indifference.
Terashima Kawa knew that Terashima had disliked him since he was a child, just like when the two met for the first time, his father asked him to call her "sister", and he was not happy at the time.
As a result, Tejima didn't seem to like him either, and when he entered the bedroom, he took over his bed, as well as his pen and toys, and rightly warned himself not to disturb her while she was reading.
Later, the two were also not good at math, so the family enrolled the two of them in the same tutoring class and let them study together, but the two rarely paid attention to each other.
Since then, the two have lived under the same roof, but they can only make sure that the well water does not interfere with the river water. It wasn't until Tajima Ling, who was three years older than him, went to college that he began to rent an apartment outside to live by himself, and he didn't get along with each other.
Terashimagawa feels naΓ―ve and ridiculous when he thinks about it now. After all, people always become more mature over time.
"Why are you still standing there stupidly? After cleaning, I'm going back to get ready for the inaugural event. Tejima frowned slightly, and stuffed a soaked rag into Terashimagawa's hand.
Before the sun set, she walked into her parents' bedroom. Looking at the stacks of mattresses on the top floor of the wardrobe, she glanced at Terashimagawa, who was wiping the table and chairs, and then stood on tiptoe to get the mattress herself.
When Terashimagawa turned around and saw this scene, before he could ask if he wanted to help, the woman had already struggled to hold down several heavy stacks of mattresses, and then took off the covers one by one in an orderly manner.
Terashimagawa obediently shut her mouth, she knows the strong character of this cheap sister, since the other party went to college, she rarely asks for money from her family. will work part-time, be a tutor, etc., and he sometimes admires it in his heart.
Watching Tejima Lingyu skillfully sort out these long-aged stacks of quilt covers and pillowcases and throw them into the washing machine, the process took more than ten minutes before taking a short rest. The swan-like delicate neck had fine beads of sweat on it, and it was obviously hot and sweaty.
The woman then turned her head and said, "Don't stand stupidly, help me remove the curtains." β
It wasn't so much to help dismantle it, but to let Terashimagawa help her hold the chair underneath, and she herself concentrated on dealing with the curtain hook, and it took four or five minutes to finally remove one side.
"Would you like to take a break? I'll tear down the rest of the side. β
Looking up from the angle of Terashima River, you can see that the back of Terashima's white neck is sweating.
"I don't feel at ease when you do things."
Tejima said such a sentence without emotion.
β....β
Terashimagawa didn't embarrass himself anymore, he carefully leaned on the chair, and then he heard the voice of the woman above his head: "I'll lean over a little, the curtain hook is a little far, you hold on..."
Maybe the height of the chair was not enough, and Terashima tiptoed again, focusing on dealing with the curtain hook.
Suddenly, my feet were a little unstable, and I felt that my waist was being held up, and there was a strange tingling sensation.
"You!" Her tone suddenly froze.
Terashimagawa didn't notice, but told below: "Seeing that you are sweating profusely, give me the curtains that have been removed, and you go to the sofa and sit and rest." β
I wanted to teach a boy a lesson, but when I heard the other party say this, Terashima Lingyu came to his lips, and changed his words angrily: "Get out of the way!" I'm not hot, you clean the floor, I'll dry the quilt. β
She jumped down from the chair carefully, her fair skin showed a faint red powder, she was already drenched in hot sweat, and even her clothes were soaked and clinging to her skin, and she still walked towards the washing machine without stopping.
Looking at the stubborn woman like a donkey, Terashimagawa had no choice but to look for a broom.
No matter how diligent and tireless you are, people are not machines after all, and they can't stand a large number. After taking out the sheets and quilt covers after spinning them out and taking them to the rooftop to dry, Tejima finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Terashima Chuan just finished sweeping the ground, looked at the panting woman, and poured a glass of water for her, "Hold a few less pieces at a time, it's a big deal to run to the rooftop twice, you're about to become a 'little sweaty'." β
The difference between him and Terashima Lingqiao is that Terashima Kawa has already let go of the unhappiness of his childhood, after all, since his parents are gone, he is now the only 'relative' left.
"Why don't you take a shower, the bedroom should have a few clothes that you left behind when you moved out."
Xu was annoyed by this 'younger brother' who had been nagging in his ears since just now, and Terashima responded with a cold face: "Why are you as annoying as my mother?" I said that it was okay, just clean up this little work as soon as possible and finish it early. β
Terashimagawa was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent.
Also, the two have wanted to watch each other since they were young. If it weren't for the old house where her parents lived, it is estimated that she would not have made an appointment to come back to clean it once every two weeks after moving out to live on her own.
People just want to clean up early and leave early.
Terashimagawa glanced at her silently, ready to mop the floor with a mop. Suddenly saw the air outlet of the standing air conditioner blowing at the woman, he turned around again, adjusted the wind direction, and couldn't help but whisper a reminder, "Don't blow a cool breeze on the air outlet just after sweating, it's easy to catch a cold." β
With her back to the Terashima River, Terashima's heavy chest rose and fell violently with her breathing. She clenched her fists, trying to calm her mind, and was silent for a long time.
