"Just ask."

Ryo Terashima knelt on the sofa, lowered her head and pulled her knee-length thin skirt, trying to cover her exposed white and tender thighs.

"Growing up, why do you hate me so much?" Terashimagawa asked about the confusion he had been feeling all along.

People never hate one thing, a person for no reason.

And when did she start, because what things made her look at herself nowhere pleasing to the eye?

Terashimagawa thinks that when he first met Terashima Ling, the other party was a cold girl with a ponytail. On the first day he came to his house, he occupied his bed, as well as pens and toys. He also warned himself so confidently not to disturb her while she was reading.

For this reason, he was still angry for a while, so the two often quarreled, obviously living under the same roof, but it was like a man and woman with a 38th line at the same table.

When he grew up, Terashimagawa summed up the unpleasant things that the two had when they were young as funny things about their teenage years. However, this 'stingy' woman is still the same as she was at the beginning, and she has never given him a good face.

Hearing the boy's inquiry, Terashima was silent for a moment and turned his head: "Are you really willing to listen to the truth?" ”

She looked at the boy with complicated eyes.

"It's your freedom to express whatever you want." Terashimagawa said: "I just want to know, since you became a family, have you treated me as a relative?" ”

He cares about that.

People can't accept loneliness, and since the loss of his parents, Terashimakawa's biggest thing every week is to return home and clean up with this 'sister' with a cold temperament.

It is only one day when you can briefly enjoy the time of being accompanied by your only loved one. Even if this 'relative' is not so easy to get along with.

After all, human beings are sensual creatures, social creatures. No one has ever been able to live alone, and even Robinson has always looked forward to returning to England.

Terashima looked at Terashima River seriously, it seems that his 'younger brother' has changed a lot after going to college, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is full of energy and radiance.

Compared with the youth of the middle school period, now I have grown taller and more handsome.

She withdrew her gaze, brushed the hair on her forehead, and replied with a lowered gaze: "Never, not even friends." ”

"I see..."Terashimagawa lowered his head and played with his phone, silent.

"I'm sorry." Tejima bit her lip, wondering if what she had just said was too heavy.

She pondered for a long time, and was ready to say, 'Actually, I think it's good that the two of us have been getting along like this all these years. If you can, keep it up like that. ’

But before she could speak, or a moment of hesitation in her heart, she lost the opportunity to speak, and was interrupted by a sudden phone call.

"Hey, hello! Is it Ms. Terashima? This is a guesthouse in Taruma Town, are you looking at the house? ”

Ryo Terashima lowered her volume, turned her back to the boy, and replied in a low voice, "Yes... Well, there's time tomorrow, okay, see you then..."

After she answered the phone, when she turned around, the boy next to her didn't know if he was really sleepy, yawned, and left a sentence of 'I'll sleep first, good night.' So he got up and walked past her, went into the bedroom, and closed the door.

The living room was inevitably quieter with fewer people.

Terashima Lingqiao is not in the mood to play with her mobile phone, she has experienced too many troubles in a day today, and she feels physically and mentally exhausted once she is free.

She folded her hands on her knees, buried her head low, and kept her head down for a long time without speaking, not knowing what she was thinking.

◇

The next afternoon, Tejima went home after looking at the house and met Terashima River, who had also just returned, downstairs.

The two looked at each other and did not say hello.

Last night's conversation made the two invisibly estranged, Terashima Chuan went upstairs with his bag on his back first, Terashima Ling stared at his back and was silent for a while, and then slowly followed.

Once inside, she glanced at the man who had walked into the bathroom, then bit her lip and turned to enter the bedroom.

When Terashimagawa came out of the bathroom, he saw the woman collecting the clothes that had dried last night.

"How's the house looking?" He asked casually.

"It's not bad, the move-in contract has been signed in the morning, and you can move in the afternoon." She replied very seriously.

Terashimagawa paused and continued, "That's good... By the way, where did you rent this time. ”

Faced with the boy's first inquiry, Terashima Lingshu hesitated slightly, and then replied, "A guesthouse in Taruma Town." ”

She used to move without telling the other party her address.

Now, maybe I don't think it matters to tell him.

Terashimagawa frowned imperceptibly, "So far? I said you should stop renting a house outside and go home. Your bedroom is empty anyway. ”

"It's okay, it's easier to live alone."

Terashima didn't say much, continued to use the clothes pole to collect the dried clothes, then bent down and folded them neatly one by one, and put them in the bag.

Because I didn't bring suitcases and backpacks with me yesterday afternoon, I had to carry a change of clothes in a bag.

Fortunately, Terashimakawa bought underwear last night, and the bag containing the underwear came in handy.

'It's convenient for one person. ’

Hearing this, Terashimagawa was silent and didn't say much. Just standing at the door of the bedroom and watching Tejima Lingqiao clean up diligently, before leaving, he went into the kitchen again, and packed up the garbage and threw it away when he went downstairs.

As a result, when Tejima entered the kitchen, he saw a stack of dishes, chopsticks and plates stacked in the sink, which Terashima was the last one to clean after eating last night.

Tejima crossed her hands to her chest and glared at the man reproachfully. Then he sighed, rolled up his sleeves, tied his apron, turned on the faucet and began to wash the dishes.

With her hands wet, she wiped down the kitchen counter again.

After all this, Terashima Lingyu took off his apron, wiped the water stains on his hands, and said in a calm tone: "If you live alone and are not diligent, you will not be able to marry a wife in the future..."

Halfway through speaking, Tejima Lingyu reacted, how could the tone just now be like the attitude of a sister admonishing her younger brother?

She was speechless for a moment, and did not continue to say the rest of the words, but changed her words: "I'll go first." ”

"Stay safe on the road." Terashimagawa noticed that the two were gradually separating, and it was obvious that he was much more polite in tone.

How did it start?

Maybe it was last night!

◇

Summers in Nagoya are sweltering.

Tejima wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, gasped for breath, and finally moved the two large suitcases from the upper floor of the apartment to the first floor.

Moving is a headache, and although she doesn't like makeup like other girls, she still has all the skincare products she needs.

Looking at the two big suitcases in front of her, these things of hers are already relatively few among girls.

"I knew I wouldn't have moved that far."

She has a cold nature and doesn't have many friends. In addition, today is not a weekend, and she took a day off from school in order to move. Even on weekends, she was embarrassed to ask for help, so she thought she would do her own hard work!

I just arrived at the intersection with my suitcase and was about to call a taxi, and found that the fare for taking a taxi to Tatsuma Town was ridiculously high!

Tejima decided that he would rather take the municipal subway and spend a few dozen more minutes and exert more effort than put half a day's salary into it.

As soon as she pulled her suitcase and walked towards the subway entrance, a boy's voice came from behind her: "Hey! Are you going in the wrong direction? ”

The familiar voice made her stunned for a moment, and she was particularly surprised when she turned around and saw someone coming.

Tejima asked suspiciously, "What are you doing here?" ”

Obviously, I just said such an excessive thing to him last night. Moreover, the tone of the two speaks today has also changed significantly.

If the two often quarreled in the past, they would not get along with each other so restrainedly. Today, it's more like treating the other party as a guest, and the calm tone between the words is very 'distant'.

"What can you do? Of course, it's to help my sister move. Terashimagawa said with a smile.

Terashima looked away, and said with a hard mouth as always: "I can do it myself." ”

"Are you sure? How capable can you be as a girl? I don't even have a car, so I want to go on foot with my suitcase? ”

After getting out of the taxi, Terashimagawa glanced at the woman's half-human-tall suitcase on the left and right sides.

Xu was annoyed by the chatter, she was rarely cared for, her mood was extremely complicated, and she didn't know whether she was dissatisfied or really couldn't help the boy's concerned tone, and finally responded: "Why do you like to preach so much!" ”

Terashimagawa looked at her unhappy expression, and consciously closed his mouth obediently, but his body took the initiative to take the lever from the other party's hand, and ignored the woman's surprised eyes, and put it in the trunk of the taxi parked on the side of the road.

"Hey! I...."

"What are you? Do you want to take the subway? You're going to be in the eyes of money! Terashimagawa saw that the woman's white neck was sweating, and handed over a pack of tissues, "Don't wipe the sweat yet." ”

Tejima took the tissue and didn't respond.

She doesn't feel like a 'sister' anymore, her status changes too suddenly, and she is more like a younger sister who is cared for and worked by her older brother.

After disposing of the suitcase and closing the trunk, Terashimagawa asked again, "Is there anything else you want to bring?" ”

"I also have some tools for cooking my own rice, I was going to come back later..."

"Then let's go in and clean up now, the two of them will be a little faster."

With Terashimagawa's help, it was indeed faster to clean up, and the two finally moved into their new home before the sun went down.

They cleaned up the new residence together, and Tejima came in from the balcony with a mop, and saw that the boy had cleaned the table and cabinet, and it was very clean.

He knows he loves cleanliness and likes to look spotless.

After a busy day's work, the two went downstairs to a nearby store to make up for some missing things.

Looking at the well-organized, clean and tidy single room apartment, it is finally done.

Terashimagawa lay motionless on the bed holding the pillow, so tired that he felt that he could sleep until dawn with his eyes closed.

Seeing the boy lying on his bed, still holding his pillow, Terashima Ling stopped talking, his eyes unnaturally retracted his gaze, and he was usually inevitably scolded by his head and face.

But.....

Seeing that he has worked so hard to help today, I won't bother with him.

"Hey, don't really sleep like a pig." She suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her heart and said in a calm tone, "You have worked hard for your help today, I invite you out for a meal." ”

Terashima Chuan was really sleepy, and as soon as he was tired, he ignored the change in the woman's tone, and subconsciously retorted: "No need, just your salary or support yourself." ”

Hearing the boy's words, Terashima Lingqiao's face was slightly cold, originally because of today's slightly higher impression of him, and because of his words, it dropped an octave!

She sat on the small sofa with her hands on her chest, her heavy chest rising and falling violently with her breathing, trying to calm down.

When her gaze returned to the man lying on the bed, her attitude returned to coldness again, and she gritted her teeth.

What!

It's too contemptuous of people!
