Chapter 174: Private Courtyard
The car gradually moved away from the hustle and bustle of the city and drove towards the suburbs.
"Xiao Nai, where is your home?" Shiina Kirishi looked at the scenery along the way and wondered, there didn't seem to be a place to live in the neighborhood that matched her identity.
As the eldest lady of the Aokong family, he thought that the girl lived in those famous high-end villas in Ueda District, and just now he even suspected that it was in the Rokuyubashi where the store manager lived, who knew that it was all out of the city.
"It's in Yamanashi Prefecture."
Shiina Kiri repeated in surprise. "Yamanashi Prefecture?"
Aokora said softly. "It's a nice view."
"Is that 'home' the place where Xiao Nai went on vacation to relax?"
In this way, the "home" she went to this time was not where she usually lived, but a property in the name of the Qingkong family.
The girl thought for a moment and agreed. "So to speak."
"Actually, I've only been there once, and that courtyard was a birthday present for my dad on his birthday. I was going to stay a few days a year, but he was so busy that I didn't want to go alone. ”
Before his mother left, he would go to that nursing home whenever he could. In a way, he was a good husband.
The woman has been sick for more than ten years, and the man will go to the nursing home to accompany her after he is busy with work, and he has never raised a mistress outside.
He only stayed with her when she hadn't left.
Perhaps, this is also the reason why Aokuna chose to accept Ryoko Kobayakawa.
Aokuna used to often accompany Shinsuke Aoku to visit her mother, and at that time, the corners of her mother's mouth would always salivate unconsciously, and the man would always take out a handkerchief for the first time and wipe it carefully.
She had seen pictures of her mother when she was a girl, and it was beautiful.
is so beautiful that Shinsuke Aozora fell in love with his mother even if he married Aunt Ryoko.
But my mother was so ugly.
Her skin, though still white, is no longer firm.
There is an indescribable soft wrinkle on the wrist, which is the muscle atrophy caused by years of bed rest.
The girl took a deep breath.
"What's wrong?"
Shiina Kiri sensed that something wasn't quite right in her mood.
"Huh?" She turned her head to look at him, and blinked, as if she had put away her unhappiness in an instant.
The girl pursed her lips, and the good-looking dimples appeared in front of the boy. "No, I think about the past."
I'll talk about it later.
She wants to save more good memories now, so that she won't be staring at the ceiling when the time comes.
Well, if you reminisce, it's actually in a daze. The girl thought earnestly.
But it's better to have memories than nothing.
She still doesn't seem to like him, though.
But it doesn't matter, he's her boyfriend today.
If she can't find her beloved matcha cake, this teenager must be the best.
After all, he is someone that his sister has liked for a long time, and she does not reject physical contact with him.
Shiina Kirishi thought she remembered the memories of her childhood, so she didn't ask again.
He turned his head to look at the window on one side, and the trees on both sides of the road slowly increased.
Although Yamanashi Prefecture is still located in the Tokyo area, it is far away from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo.
It is said that 78% of the land area is forested, and it is rich in natural resources and has the highest annual sunshine hours in Japan, but there is very little rainfall, so the sky is always clear.
Thinking of this, Shiina Kiri found that although it was not sunny outside the window, it was no longer raining.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but Tokyo before was overwhelmed by black clouds.
After about another twenty minutes of driving, the car stopped outside a gate.
The dark vermilion wooden gate is extraordinarily large, and the courtyard is surrounded by a white-painted wall, so that there is no end in sight.
There are street lamps three or four meters high every ten meters on the fence, which should be a private property given that the street lamps are built on the wall.
Shiina Kiri doesn't know the housing prices here, but such a large private courtyard is worth a lot of money.
After getting out of the car, he took the initiative to walk to the other side. Open the car door and gently hold the girl's left hand.
Aozona stretched out her left foot, and her small black leather shoes stepped lightly on the ground.
The slender long legs are slightly bent, and the black silk legs under the plaid skirt are extremely beautiful, which makes people unbearable to blaspheme.
She took the boy's right hand and looked at him as she got up, smiling sweetly.
Maybe the word happy should be used here, but now she is really sweet in the eyes of the teenager.
On one side of the gate, there is a narrow gate that can be passed through by one person, but in order to welcome the hostess of this courtyard, the main entrance must be opened wide.
"Keep holding it."
Sensing that Shiina Kiri was about to let go of her, the girl held his hand instead.
Shiina Kirishi didn't refuse, but felt that it should be so.
Unknowingly, the two are becoming more and more proficient, and holding hands is already the norm.
As the gate was opened by two women in kimonos, Shiina Kiri also saw the scenery in the courtyard clearly, and there was a feeling of seeing the moon in the clouds.
There are many trees planted in the courtyard, and the road is not a concrete road, but a village-like road.
The road is inlaid with many irregular stones half a meter long, and the surface of the exposed stones is flat.
The building not far away seems to be made of wood, with a layer of tree oil on the surface and tiled roofs, which looks a bit like an ancient building in the east.
But it is not exactly like it, the door of this room is a sliding door of solid wood, and the door can be divided into three parts, the upper layer seems to be oiled paper, the middle layer is glass, and the lower layer is solid wood.
"Let's go, Shiina-kun."
The girl led the boy towards the door, and the two women in kimono at the door respectfully shouted "Miss".
She ignored it, and pointed to the nearest room with her right hand.
"This room seems to be called 'Early Spring'...", she looked a little uncertain.
Until the two approached, she didn't pull Shiina Kiri up the steps of the house, but after going around in a circle, she came to a wooden beam in this room, pointed to the words on it and said happily.
"Shiina-kun, I'll just say it's 'early spring'!"
Shiina fog. “……”
Who is not familiar with their own home?
However, according to the girl's previous statement, she is also here for the second time.
"Since it's called early spring, is there still summer, autumn, and winter?"
"Yes, it's 'Midsummer' over there."
The girl pointed in one direction.
"How can you be so sure this time?" Shiina Kiri was a little surprised, and looked in the direction she said.
"There's a sea of cherry blossoms between early spring and midsummer."
The two held hands and looked at the cherry blossom forest, where the cherry blossoms had not yet completely fallen.
"It's quite poetic."
"yes, follow me." The girl dragged him and ran towards the house.
The two took off their shoes at the door and stepped on the wooden floor of the house.
"Sit down."
The girl pulled him to sit at a low table.
"Here?"
Shiina Kiri looked in one direction.
"In the spring, you can sit here and watch the cherry blossoms bloom." She knelt beside Shiina Kiri, and suddenly sighed.
"It's a pity that the cherry blossoms are almost down now."
"Then let's enjoy the flowers." Shiina Kiri didn't care.
"Hmm." The girl agreed softly, and suddenly leaned lightly on top of him.
The two leaned together and watched quietly as the cherry blossoms fell from the treetops.
"Shiina-kun." She whispered his name.
"What's wrong?"
"Don't we look like a couple now?" She looked at the cherry blossom trees in the distance, as if she knew the answer.
"Hmm."
How can they not be like a couple, how can they not be like a couple in love now.
"If Xiao Nai doesn't say this, it's even more like."
He smiled and shook his head, in the end, he felt that there was some drama, how could a couple ask such a thing.
"Then I won't speak." She said obediently.
Shiina fog was dumbfounded.
After the meeting, the girl spoke again.
"Shiina-kun, can I say one more thing."
She said this as if she were a coquettish schoolgirl to her teacher.
He is indeed her teacher, an emotional teacher.
Although he thinks that he can't teach this kind of thing, you say it is a tiger, but she may be listening to a wolf.
This kind of thing will only be known until you really like someone.
Hearsay, after all, is someone else's story.
"Say it."
"Can you hug me?"
The artistic conception here is so good, shouldn't you hug the girl next to you as a boyfriend?
Shiina was stunned, but he didn't do well enough.
He reached out his left hand and gently wrapped his arms around her shoulder.
The girl no longer sat on her knees, but sat on her side legs, quietly leaning into his arms.
"Happy." She said secretly.
Shiina Kiri didn't hear clearly. "What?"
"I like Shiina-kun the most."
Aokora looked up in his arms.
Such a well-behaved pink-haired girl said the most touching love words in her arms, and Rao is Shiina Mist was also a little trance-like.
The girl closed her eyes slightly, as if expecting something.
Shiina Kiri licked her dry lips, a little hesitant.
"Kiss."
The girl's eyes were half-open, and she murmured as if she were praying.
After all, he bowed his head and printed it.
The two kissed for a long time, and the cherry blossom trees not far away fell one after another.
After parting, the girl leaned into his arms contentedly and inhaled quietly.
Shiina Kiri hugged her, suddenly a little confused.
He just saved Yuansheng Yuxia, and he had some ambiguity with her, so he didn't want to let her go.
But the girl in his arms has been playing his girlfriend, holding hands, kissing mouths, and now she is lying in his arms, but he can't say anything to her.
It's still hypocritical in the end.
After knowing that she would leave, he was actually acting.
But what was he thinking when he kissed her?
Shiina Kirishi didn't understand.
He blamed it all on her heavenly fall, fearing that she would ruin his peaceful life.
He participates in girls' love games and calmly enjoys the benefits of girls' games.
"Are you ready to go?"
A month ago, his heart must have been filled with joy when he said this, but now he was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
I don't seem interested. Don't seem interested?
"Well, there may be six or seven days left, and then Shiina-kun won't have to accommodate me anymore." The girl confessed.
She never hid the idea of leaving, which made Shiina Kirishi a little angry inside, which made him a little uncomfortable.
It seemed to confirm the kitten's words, if they didn't like him anymore, he wouldn't want to bully them.
In fact, this sentence is not wrong, if you like it, you will be accommodating, and if you don't like it, you will not be accommodating.
But......
"Then Xiao Nai can tell me now, why are you looking for me to fall in love?"
But why did this girl play a lover with him for a month even though she didn't like him?
There has to be a reason.
"I've said it before, because Shiina-kun is very good."
The teenager that my sister likes must be very good.
There are actually a lot of things worth remembering when she gets along with him these days.
For example, the first time they kissed, she ate the matcha cake in his mouth.
For example, in a haunted house, he calmly asked her to leave first.
For example, they rode the Ferris wheel twice, they watched a horror movie.
Like what......
"If only Shiina-kun liked me."
In fact, there is no need for example, she can see that his liking always comes to an abrupt end.
Those are far less than he really likes.
"You don't like me either, do you?" Shiina Mist's tone was also a little embarrassed.
It's as if they're all waiting for each other to like themselves first.
But isn't it hard to suppress and go with the flow of liking this kind of thing?
The two were silent for a long time.
"Why is the topic suddenly so heavy, shouldn't we cherish the relationship in front of us now?"
Shiina Kiri suddenly coughed lightly and touched the girl's thigh.
"Do you want to touch it?" Aokora blinked.
She stepped away from Shiina's arms and sat in a different position, placing her legs on his cross-legged legs.
At this angle, he only needed to flick the bottom of her skirt lightly to see the girl's little pants.
But that's too obscene.
"You can touch it, your boyfriend can touch it." The girl was still tempted, gently lifting her right leg, the arch of her foot was perfectly curved, and the ruddy tip of her toe could be seen through the black silk.
Shiina Kirishi didn't choose to be a human being after all.
"Actually, it's not good."
He played with it.
The girl pursed her lips and chuckled, not breaking it.
"It's almost time to eat, can Shiina-kun cook for me later."
Shiina Mist, who is eating the benefits of the game, is naturally impossible to refuse.
"Absolutely."
"I want to eat Chinese food."
"Yesterday I said that I had time to cook a meal for you to try, and today is just right."
"Shiina-kun is so nice."
Shiina Wu sighed in her heart, this eldest lady really likes to praise and express love. Even if it's all fake, it's really satisfying for vanity if she's always like that.
The kitten at home said that he smelled good, and as for other things, I had never seen her say that he was good.
It has something to do with her personality and of course his penchant for bullying her.
Yuan Sheng Yuxia is so timid and shy, it is even more impossible.
Miyuki Momoya often praises him, but that is the feeling of being spoiled.
Aokorna felt something else, as if she was spoiled by him.
If only she really fell in love with him, this eldest lady would be a perfect girlfriend if she didn't get sick.
It's a pity that they're just acting.
It's a shame.
"Then let's go cook."
He had just arrived, and of course he couldn't have known where the kitchen was, so he asked her to lead the way.
"Hmm~ Don't."
Shiina fog. “……”
"You can't be so coquettish."
"But Shiina-kun, don't you like gentle girls?" The girl grabbed the hem of his clothes. "Today, Xiao Nai wants to be Shiina-kun's gentle girlfriend."
