In the anime series, Goto Ichiri is actually my childhood sweetheart?

"Before, Xiaofeng, you were yelling in the corridor, and all the classmates heard it. Yinglili and I were a little worried, so we asked mom to call Ryoko to ask what was going on. When mom found out that Ryoko was in the hospital, she immediately drove us here..."

After Goto Ichiri sorted out the situation, Takahashi Kaede finally understood it roughly.

"I'm glad you're here, but we can't have so many people in the ward. Ryoko needs to get enough rest."

"Don't worry about it, we'll be back soon."

Goto's mother said.

"But mom, I want to stay with Aunt Ryoko for a while."

Goto Ichiri also has feelings for Ryoko. After all, he always goes to Takahashi Kaede's house to play and receives so much care from her. It is normal for him to feel sad and want to accompany her.

"Then you should stay with her. If you don't go home tonight, remember to call me."

Goto Michiyo was still very relieved that Goto Ichiri was staying here.

Before leaving, Eriri called Takahashi Kaede aside.

"Are you okay? This is the first time I've heard you yell so loudly."

She looked sad and worried on her fair face. She and Ryoko didn't have much interaction, and she was more worried about Takahashi Kaede's feelings.

"It's okay. I just checked with the doctor. Ryoko is fine. If she's fine, then I'm fine too. Don't worry."

"Do you want me to stay with you? After all, you always take care of me. Now that you're feeling down, how about I stay with you?"

Eriri lowered her head and looked at Takahashi Kaede, waiting for his answer.

"No need. Yili is enough here. Too many people will only make things chaotic. I appreciate your kindness. Your health is not very good to begin with. If you catch a cold sitting in front of the bed with us, it will not be worth it."

"Ok."

Knowing that she couldn't defeat Takahashi Kaede, Eriri followed Goto Michiyo back.

"Xiao Feng, I'm leaving too. I came here directly after receiving a call in the afternoon. The work is not finished yet."

"Yuan Zi, I will definitely treat you to a meal next time!"

"You little adult, okay, I'll wait for you, bye~."

Machida Sonoko also left with her bag.

Suddenly there were only three people left in the ward.

"Xiao Feng, help me move the bed up a little. I want to sit up."

Gao Qiaofeng immediately turned the handle at the foot of the bed and raised the bed.

"Yuanzi has worked so hard today. She came right after I called her. She looked after me and called your teacher."

I don't know if Ryoko was in a good mood, but she suddenly started talking nonstop.

"There's an empty house next to ours. Maybe a neighbor will move in soon. I heard he's a college student."

"Finally we have neighbors. It would be wrong to say that it has always been empty."

Gao Qiaofeng complained that no one had moved in for such a long time, and it was hard to imagine whether the landlord had too much money and didn't care about the house at all.

"Are you two getting along well in school? Yili follows Xiaofeng around every day, so your fear of people problem should be much better now."

"It's as good now as it was before. As for being afraid of people, just ask her."

Seeing that the criticism was directed at him, Goto Ichiri huddled behind Takahashi Kaede and answered hesitantly.

"I have learned to communicate with others with the help of external objects, and I can use them skillfully!"

"Oh, that's good, but what is this external object? Ah, it's the kind of girl in the movie who feels it's too embarrassing to talk, so she uses notes to chat with others. It's very cute."

Ryoko said in surprise.

"You sound so real. Yili, explain to me what this external object is."

"Ah! Yes... Actually it's Xiao Feng."

"This is totally a lack of progress, Xiao Feng. Didn't I ask you to help Yili? Are you helping her?"

Ryoko blamed Takahashi Kaede.

"I still don't agree with you if you say she hasn't made any progress. She has made some progress over the years~"

"Xiao Feng!"

Goto Ichiri was very touched that Takahashi Kaede was talking to her, and she leaned over to listen carefully. She also wanted to know where she had improved.

"Progress means that she has learned to play with herself. She is no longer like in kindergarten where she was isolated because there were no other children to play with her—"

"Xiao Feng, you're such a jerk! Give me back my feelings!"

Goto Ichiri hammered Takahashi Kaede's back. How could this be a nice thing to say? This was simply a mockery of her being a homebody!

"Hahaha, Yili has turned into a little homebody. This is actually quite good. Happiness grows on yourself, and you can pick as much as you want in the future."

Ryoko laughed so hard that she fell backwards, while Goto Ichiri blushed. After realizing that he couldn't beat Takahashi Kaede, he buried his face in the quilt in an attempt to escape reality.

"Ryoko, seriously."

Takahashi Feng suddenly called out to Ryoko in a very serious tone.

"Quit your job and let's open a handicraft store together. The boss in Springfield happens to have connections, and you love this job. The key is that you don't have to work overtime, and you can work and rest as you like."

Ryoko's smile gradually cooled, and a kind of melancholy that was difficult to explain appeared on her face.

"Let me tell you two a story. Now the story should come to an end. It may also be a good warning to you."

"There was a high school girl who rode a bicycle to and from school every day because her home was not too far from the school."

"One day, the chain of her bicycle broke. Without her bicycle, she had to walk to school. You know, it would take her dozens of minutes to get there even if she rode a bicycle. If she walked, she would definitely be late."

"So she got a bunch of tools from home and prepared to repair the bike herself."

Takahashi Feng had realized that she was talking about him, but he didn't expose her because Goto Ichiri was listening very attentively.

"And then what? Did she succeed in repairing it?"

Ryoko smiled and continued.

"It's not fixed. She was extremely late that day. She arrived at school almost halfway through the morning. Guess what she was doing?"

Smiling and keeping the secret, Ryoko looked at the two people in front of her.

Chapter 75: Aunt Ryoko also had dreams when she was young

"If it wasn't fixed, you must have walked to school to be so late."

"No, even if she was walking she wouldn't be that slow. Her house isn't that far from the school."

Ryoko dismissed Goto Ichiri's speculation.

"Xiao Feng, what do you think?"

Ryoko looked at Takahashi Kaede with an expectant expression.

"Well, from what I know about the girl you mentioned, she is a stubborn person. She must have fought with the bicycle. She must have been angry and spent a lot of time repairing the bicycle. In the end, she failed and went to school in shame~"

"Ahem~, you are not allowed to make malicious assumptions about this girl. She does have the good quality of sticking to what she does, but she is not as stubborn as a donkey!"

Ryoko pretended to cough, but her eyes glanced at Goto Ichiri.

As a result, she was still clapping her hands, sighing that Takahashi Kaede was so amazing that she could guess the girl's personality at once.

It seems that she hasn't realized that this girl is Ryoko lying on the bed~

"The problem with the bike was actually not that serious, it was just that the chain fell off. Unfortunately, I was too weak and didn't know how to fix it, so I tried to pry it open for a long time, and then I put the chain on the gear and pushed the bike, trying to get it stuck, but in the end it was useless."

"Since the length of the chain and the distance between the gears are basically the same, the girl suddenly had an idea: if she removed the gears, installed the chain, and then put the gears back together, would that be enough?"

"She immediately got to work, fetched wrenches and screwdrivers from the storeroom at home, and removed everything that could be twisted off or disassembled from the bicycle."

Ryoko's stubbornness was beyond Takahashi Kaede's expectations. It had reached the point of being too stubborn!

"Yeah, why don't we just remove the gears, install the chain and then put it back? How smart! Why didn't I think of that?"

Takahashi Feng looked at Goto Ichiri with suspicion. Is this kid really stupid or does he have high emotional intelligence and is just trying to please others?

"Yeah~"

Ryoko looked very satisfied.

"But the beauty is only in the imagination. After the girl dismantled the bicycle, she found that many unnecessary things were missing. She even tore the bicycle frame apart. When she wanted to fix it, she found that it could not be put back together."

Ryoko shook her head regretfully, and used a sad tone which was very appropriate for the situation.

"Unfortunately, the girl's initial confidence was now completely overwhelmed by panic, and her movements became reckless. After accidentally knocking over a rubber tire, she had to work very hard to catch up with the tire that was shouting 'Freedom!'"

"Poor tire..."

"The poor one is actually the tire?!"

Takahashi Kaede didn't quite understand Goto Ichiri's train of thought and screamed in surprise.

"Isn't it pitiful that you are stepped on by others every day and can't escape even if you want to?"

"That's true...

Ryoko ignored the two people's interruption and continued speaking.

"When she calmed down, she looked at the yard and saw that the bicycle was in pieces. She thought she could put the parts back together by sorting them out, but she had never learned about the structure of a bicycle, and splicing was countless times more difficult than destroying it. No matter how hard she stared at the parts, she had no idea what to do. Looking at her hands that were scorched black by the lubricant from fiddling with the chain and her school skirt that was slightly stained black, she returned to the house in frustration and wanted to wash her hands and clothes, but suddenly realized that it was too late."

"[Today is definitely my most unlucky day] She thought to herself. She was already late, so there was no point in rushing or jogging. She walked slowly on the way to school, rubbing her fingers constantly because of the strange feeling of the lubricant residue. The marks on her clothes could not be washed off, so she could only let the breeze blow away the water stains, leaving a small black mark behind."

Ryoko's narration made Goto Ichiri feel very involved, and she began to feel annoyed.

"Yili, if it were you at this moment, what would you think?"

"I might... have called Xiao Feng when my bike broke down... hehe."

After all, the difference between Takahashi Kaede and Doraemon is that Takahashi Kaede does not have a dimensional pocket.

"What if Xiao Feng isn't there? He can't be free all the time."

"Without Xiao Feng - how terrible! I will definitely be criticized by the teacher for being so late! After being criticized, I will definitely not want to talk for the whole week. I might as well just find a trash can to hide in!"

"pain--!"

"Have some courage. It's not right to be so unwilling when faced with difficulties."

After being hit on the head by Takahashi Kaede, Goto Ichiri lowered his head in grievance and kept silent.

"Xiao Feng, don't bully Yili like this!"

Ryoko also tapped Takahashi Kaede lightly. Goto Ichiri held his head and looked up to see Takahashi Kaede who was also holding his head. The three of them looked at each other and laughed together.

Ryoko looked at the two of them without any grudges against each other and suddenly had a strange thought in her mind, but she didn't show it and continued.

"That girl was completely different. She wasn't depressed, and she didn't hide in a trash can. On the way, she kept thinking about how to put the bicycle back on and what was a better way to put the chain on."

"She had no reaction when she was criticized by the teacher at school. All she could think about was how to put the bicycle back home. Even when she walked into the classroom covered in dust and was laughed at by classmates, she had no reaction."

“What a strong mind!”

"Yeah~, I think so too!"

Gao Qiaofeng held his head and couldn't stand this kind of self-boasting behavior.

"That very night she bought a book on bicycle structure and reassembled the bicycle step by step. After that, she fell in love with this kind of mechanical handwork. She disassembled many electrical appliances and reassembled them. Although sometimes they were already assembled but there were just a few extra parts, she still enjoyed it."

"But if she wanted to make this kind of thing by herself, the cost was too high, and she couldn't afford it. During a book search in the library, she came across a woodworking book and then got deeply involved in it. Unlike the strong coupling and tight assembly and disassembly of iron, the softness and versatility of wooden structures attracted her."

When Ryoko talked about those days, there seemed to be light in her eyes, as if that was the happiest time of her life.

"Is this how you fell in love with woodworking?" asked Feng Takahashi.

"Yes~, now that I think about it, it's really magical. I fell in love with it at the first sight. No matter how much time I spend on it, I never get bored. Making a small work makes me happier than getting first place in an exam."

Goto Ichiri nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly looked at Ryoko with a puzzled look.

"Eh? Were you talking about your own business just now, Ryoko???"

Chapter 76: Unfortunately, life and Takahashi Kaede gave her a hard time

Goto Ichiri is now in a state of great shock.

After listening to the story for so long, she never thought about why Ryoko mentioned these things, but the girl in the story always gave her a sense of déjà vu.
