A passionate daily life starting from the Tachibana family

But as long as Sasaki didn't panic, she couldn't see anything at all and could only make wild guesses in her heart.

If Sasaki finds time to give her two sap sticks and make her be honest, she won't have time to speculate.

"Have you forgotten why Aunt Jingxiang moved in? If I don't behave better, she might lock me in the house and not let me out, and then hire a tutor for me..."

Knowing that sometimes explaining too much can be a weakness, Sasaki chose to change the topic.

"Eh? This..."

As the saying goes, knowing a husband is better than a wife.

Sometimes Otome Sakuragi could roughly guess what he was thinking from the slightest change in Sasaki's tone.

What's more, Fuyumi didn't really want to go to school before, so this was not difficult for Sakuragi Otome to guess.

After swallowing the toast in her mouth, Sakuragi Otome put down her chopsticks before Sasaki could say the rest of her words, frowned, and said solemnly:

"No way~ If Fuumi doesn't want to go to class and hire a tutor to study, I think I can be the tutor~"

Obviously, after the car accident, Sakuragi Otome would not let him stay at home for a long time no matter what considerations she had.

Seeing the serious look on Otome-san's face, she knew that she had started this topic and she should find a way to end it.

Okino Rinka hurriedly ate some of the rice in the bowl and said to Sakuragi Otome:

"Fuyumi-nii was just joking. Didn't he have a good class last week? Otome-san is too sensitive."

"I'll go get another bowl of rice."

As he said that, Okino Rinka, who was sitting next to Sasaki, shook his thigh and lightly touched his knee.

Know that she is creating opportunities for herself.

Sasaki didn't delay. After Rinka stood up and walked away, he sat next to Otome opposite.

"Fuyumi, I'm sorry, I..."

Lowering her head and smelling the familiar and clinging scent, Sakuragi Otome pursed her lips as delicate as a young cherry blossom and apologized.

Sitting on the chair next to her, leaning against Otome's delicate body, Sasaki held her little white hands that were placed on the red plaid skirt and clenched them into small snowballs, and asked with a smile:

"Why are you apologizing?"

I knew that Otome was apologizing for her tone and attitude just now.

After all, she had never treated herself so forcefully.

So when she apologized, she was just afraid that she would feel resentful and affect the relationship between the two of them.

But Sasaki is not the kind of person who doesn't know right from wrong.

He knew that Otome's stern rebuttal just now was because she was afraid that if he stayed bored at home any longer, he would have some suicidal thoughts that he shouldn't have.

Therefore, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Otome's reprimand and refutation of him.

On the contrary, she was able to refute herself so seriously because she cared about her own performance.

Without any intention of pressing her, Sasaki said again without waiting for her reply:

"Otome is doing this for my own good. It's normal for her to say a few words to me."

It seemed that he really didn't care about what happened just now.

Sakuragi Otome glanced sideways at Rinka who was serving rice in the kitchen, and in an extremely rare move, she took the initiative to put her arms around Sasaki's neck and feed him her own sakura candy without any additives.

The gently beating heart began to beat loudly and violently like a drum.

Before Sasaki could take a step closer, Sakuragi Otome, who was extremely familiar with his reaction, moved away first:

"Rinhua, Rinhua is still here."

This reason obviously cannot convince the already enthusiastic Sasaki. Although it is not convenient at home, school...

He knew that with Otome's temperament, it would most likely not be possible to have that level of intimacy in school.

But as long as Sasaki pretends to be uncomfortable enough, there is still some hope.

As for finding Rinka at school...

They are not in the same teaching building at all. When they find each other, they probably won't even finish talking before they have to rush back to the classroom at the sound of the school bell.

Just as he was trying to make Otome relent, but before he could say anything, Sakuragi Otome noticed from the corner of her eye that Rinka was about to turn around, and hurriedly patted the bad guy who wanted to touch the white cat's head:

"Don't wait until I see you in the winter. In a few days, my parents will be on a business trip after they finish their vacation... By then, in the evening..."

A brief reassurance.

Not bold enough to ignore Rinka, Sakuragi Otome adjusted her skirt, picked up the dinner plate, and walked to the kitchen.

"Have you finished eating, Otome-san?" The rice was served for a long time, but in the end it was just a little cat food. Okino Rinka asked Sakuragi Otome, who was walking towards her, holding the rice that could barely cover the bottom of the bowl.

Knowing that Rinka had just made room for the two of them, Sakuragi Otome felt that it was good to take care of each other more and more. She smiled and nodded:

"Well, I'll go up and get Fuyumi's schoolbag. You can continue eating. It's still early."

After saying that, Sakuragi Otome washed her own and Aunt Kyoka's dishes and chopsticks, and then went upstairs.

Obviously, from Sakuragi Otome's point of view, since she and Rinka have already had a close relationship, it would be detrimental to their unity if she, as a sister, eats alone.

Linhua made room for her, and she would naturally make room for Linhua after she was done...

Although Okino Rinka is smart and smart, she is not so smart as ordinary people.

Naturally, one cannot understand the meaning of Sakuragi Otome's actions through her words.

But what she wants to do is surprisingly consistent with what Otome wants her to do.

After Sasaki Otome went upstairs, Okino Rinka, who was pretending to eat rice, stopped her chopsticks, stood up naturally and skillfully and sat on Sasaki's lap:

"Sorry, I shouldn't have joked like that..."

It does mean to beat Rinka.

Otherwise, Sasaki wouldn't have suddenly changed his tone after explaining, as if he had a sudden realization, to attract Otome's attention.

His purpose is to divert Linhua's focus.

To prevent her from noticing something was wrong with her tone or demeanor, and then having doubts about her affair with Aunt Jingxiang.

After all, this girl is very clever, and if she is not fooled, some unnecessary trouble will occur.

Sasaki said this not because he thought she would harm him, but because he was afraid that she would not understand the situation and do bad things with good intentions.

Rather than doing it on behalf of others, Sasaki wanted to do it himself.

"It's okay, it's okay. In your eyes, I do kiss Aunt Jingxiang a little bit, but you also know..."

As he spoke, a bitter and sad smile appeared on Sasaki's face, like broken fine porcelain, full of brokenness.

As an Omei, Okino Rinka certainly knew that his family no longer had an adult in charge.

So after seeing her lover's heart-wrenching smile, Okino Rinka immediately threw it away. She kept thinking about the random thoughts between him and Aunt Jingxiang in her mind, hugging his neck and hurriedly comforting him.

Being held in Rinka's soft and sweet arms, listening to the gentle words of comfort ringing in his ears, and the gentle hands stroking the hair behind his head, Sasaki suddenly felt guilty for coaxing an ignorant girl.

But thinking about Linhua's past elven cleverness, this sense of guilt turned into joy in teasing her of tax evasion.

After suppressing the corners of her mouth that wanted to raise, Sasaki, who felt that time was almost up, straightened up and pinched her pretty little face:

"Let's wash the dishes first, Otome seems to be down."

"it is good."

When Sakuragi Otome came down, the scene she saw was Fuyumi and Rinka, standing side by side by the kitchen sink, washing dishes.

Seeing the two of them clinging to each other intimately, Sakuragi Otome did not feel jealous or sad because she had already prepared her mind. Instead, she sat on the chair and looked at the two chatting and joking with a smile.

After all, they grew up together, and even if their identities changed, the harmonious atmosphere they had gotten along with each other over the years would not change because of these changes.

After the two of them had cleaned the dishes and put them away, Sakuragi Otome stood up, carrying the three people's schoolbags, and said:

"Let's go."

"I looked at this week's class schedule. Fuyumi has a physical education class today, so I've put the sports clothes in your schoolbag~"

"Thank you Otome~"

I really didn't pay attention to this week's classes. When I heard that Otome had prepared her clothes, Sasaki walked up and pressed Otome's moist and soft lips with a smile.

"No seriousness."

Glancing at Rinka who was covering her mouth and chuckling behind him, Sakuragi Otome patted him shyly, turned around and walked towards the entrance.

Looking at Otome's increasingly round and plump figure, Sasaki turned his head and waved to Rinka, who was watching eagerly.

boo~

Chapter 1 Monday Morning

A new day begins in the morning.

The new week begins on Monday morning.

For most migrant workers and students, 'Monday morning' is not a happy word.

At least after Sasaki leaves home, enters school, and then enters class, it is rare to see a student smile like "Ah~ today is Monday, and it is the beginning of another wonderful week."

After all, most students’ high school lives are not rosy.

Among this majority, Sasaki is the small part that is not included.

Parting with Rinka at the teaching building.

Waving goodbye to Otome at the stairwell at the corner of the second floor of the teaching building where they were.

Sasaki entered the class through the back door with his schoolbag on his shoulder.

This time he came not too early. When he entered the class, the class was already half full.

After a week of running in, although Sasaki did not integrate into the group, he formed his own small circle.

But his handsome appearance and slender figure are still very popular among girls.

So the moment he stepped into the class.

Excluding the few boys' gazes that looked away after a few glances, the ones that still stayed on him were mostly girls' gazes.

Among them, the three eyes sitting in the front row and the back row of the class are more special.

The complicated gaze cast from the front of the class, Sasaki knew who the owner of the gaze was without turning his head to investigate.

However, in order to maintain his 'sad and heartbroken' persona in her eyes, Sasaki had no intention of looking at her.

As for the other look in front...

Looking sideways at the two black-haired girls sitting behind Murasaki Palace who had turned their heads, Sasaki withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened.

'This girl won't fall in love with me just because I complimented her a few words, right? '

This is not Sasaki's narcissistic fantasy.

Because this girl named Yoshida, after being praised by me last time, would always peek at me furtively, like a timid little beast hiding in the depths of the deep jungle, looking curiously at the side of the road. Same.

His posture was timid, but his eyes were overflowing with curiosity for the new world.

With her withdrawn character and the situation of being excluded from the girls' group, it is not impossible for her to have a good impression of herself after being kind to her.

Thinking of the other person's pretty face hidden by her thin bangs and wide glasses, Sasaki thought he could find time to get in touch with her.

This is not a heart attack.

But Sasaki felt that if she didn't do something, with her temperament, she would probably be deceived by some scum and even her bones would be left.

When someone complimented her a little, she didn't even think about whether it was polite or not, she just paid so much attention to others.

If someone has evil intentions and treats her twice as well, then what's the point?

Keep this in mind.

Sasaki kept his pace and faced Chifuyu, the idiot who looked at him, with a smile that was natural and showed no guilt.

Then he stuffed the sportswear in his school bag into his own small cabinet at the back of the class.

Sitting on his seat, Sasaki put away his schoolbag and chatted to the idiot Chifuyu with the same attitude and tone as before:

"You said on LINE yesterday that Takagi is taking the weekly exam today, right?"
