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

"My family sent me here." Ying Lili shook her head. To be more precise, it was the housekeeper who sent her here.

"I often hear Yili say that he plays with you. Today is the first time he comes to our house to play. Do you want some water?"

"Oh, thank you."

Ying Lili sat obediently on the sofa, took the water, and when she lowered her head to drink it, a little pink head suddenly popped out from between her legs.

"Whoa!"

"Eri! Don't be naughty, Sister Eriri is a guest, don't scare her!"

"Haha, you got scared by me! Sister is so timid~"

Goto Jiri held his stomach and laughed out loud, his laughter was as loud and clear as a bell.

Seeing that Erli did not reflect on her actions, Goto Michiyo reached out to grab her. Seeing this, Goto Erli quickly ran away.

"Sister, Mom is going to catch me, save me!"

With the sound of clattering footsteps, Goto Jiri went upstairs to seek shelter from his sister.

"You didn't admit your mistake and ate the small cake in the refrigerator!"

The sound of footsteps came back again, and Goto Jiri ran back to Eriri.

"Sister Eriri, I was wrong!"

He admitted his mistake so quickly and with such sincerity that Eriri was so surprised that she was speechless.

Looking at this face that was 80% similar to Goto Ichiri, with the same blue eyes, the same pink hair, and the same delicate little nose, she found it hard to understand how two sisters who grew up in the same family could have such big differences in their personalities.

"Be good, go now and let your sister call you down from upstairs and tell her that a friend is coming." Goto Michiyo nodded with satisfaction, then gave orders to Goto Jiri.

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!"

Goto Jiri staggered away with an innocent and childish voice.

"So cute~"

Eriri looked at this shrunken version of Goto Ichiri and her eyes were full of stars.

"Please sit down for a while. I'm going to the kitchen to help Yili's father cook. Please feel free to eat the fruits on the table. Don't be polite."

Goto Michiyo smiled apologetically and went into the kitchen.

After she left, Eriri began to look around.

"Strange, Feng hasn't come yet? How come she's even slower than me?"

I have to say that although Goto Ichiri's house is not as big as her villa, and the decoration is not as luxurious, it has a strong atmosphere of life. The tea sets on the windowsill are neatly placed, and the spout of the teapot is still emitting steam from the boiling water, obviously it has just been used; every dangerous corner of the table and sofa is covered with anti-collision cotton pads, and there are also height scales on the wall, with two sides, one side is shorter and the other is about the same height as her.

There is a hook on the wall, but there is nothing hanging on it. Ying Lili is not sure what it is used for.

"Eri-ri~~"

Goto Ichiri's voice arrived first, but he arrived later, with Goto Jiri hanging on his body.

"You're here so early. Xiao Feng just sent me a message saying that she'll be late, but she'll definitely be there before dinner."

As Goto Ichiri said this, she pulled apart Goto Jiri who was hanging on her like a koala.

But it was of no avail. If he pulled his left hand away, his right hand would come up again. If he pulled his right hand away, Erli would clamp his legs together and climb up.

"Erli, get down quickly, it's so heavy!" Goto Ichiri shouted at Goto Erli on his body in a very serious tone.

"No! I'm not heavy." Goto Jiri didn't buy it and turned his head away.

Goto Ichiri was at a loss and could only beg desperately.

"Erli, please come down quickly. By the way, there will be a brother coming back soon. He won't get angry no matter how you tease him. If you promise not to bully me, I will introduce you to him later. How about that!"

Goto Jiri's eyes rolled around.

"really?"

"Really! Look at the sister next to her, she knows that brother too!"

After looking at Eriri's reaction, Goto Jiri nodded and climbed down from Goto Ichiri. Goto Ichiri felt relieved, bent down and held the sofa next to him, looking like he was exhausted.

"Ichiri... I didn't expect that you would be bullied by your sister, and in the end you used Feng as a bargaining chip..."

She is so weak that she can't even defeat her two-year-old sister. It's hard to imagine what would happen if other people bullied her in junior high school.

Goto Ichiri laughed foolishly 'Ahahaha'.

"Let's go upstairs and talk. Erli, just stay in the living room. Remember to call me when someone knocks on the door."

"it is good--"

At this time, Goto Jiri's attention was attracted by the TV. Goto Ichiri waved his hand helplessly, took Eriri upstairs and walked to his room.

Solid-colored tatami, a bed, a desk, a bookshelf full of study textbooks, a photo frame on the desk, and nothing else. It doesn't look like a stay-at-home girl's room at all. Instead, it looks like the room of a good girl who often helps her parents with things, has no hobbies of her own, and whose only wish is to get married.

Seeing the surprise in Eriri's eyes, Goto Ichiri nodded with satisfaction. This was exactly the effect he wanted.

"Eh? Where are you taking me?"

Suddenly, Goto Ichiri led her towards the closet. Eriri felt confused and had no idea what she was going to do.

But...why is there a wire coming out of the closet? Is it hiding some secret?

When Goto Ichiri opened the cupboard door with a mysterious look on his face, revealing everything inside, Eriri was shocked.

The small closet is filled with posters and small pendants of various games and animations. The mattress is spread on the floor and has some slight wrinkles on it, showing signs of use. Next to it are snacks, drinks and wilted flowers, but there is no garbage at all, giving it a messy beauty.

An upright desktop computer was placed on a small table, which was placed in the middle of the closet. A chair frame was placed on the bed facing the computer, which should be used to protect the waist. It can be seen that the owner usually plays computer here.

The chassis is further inside, and it must have been well cleaned, as it is spotless and looks very nice.

Goto Ichiri was a little proud, but also a little nervous. Although he and Eriri had known each other for a long time, this was the first time that he showed his little space to people other than his family and Takahashi Kaede.

"Ah, this is the poster of the one I played with you before! And the anime! What...what is this?"

Eriri went in and looked down from the poster on the wall, and suddenly found a tumbler in the shape of Goto Ichiri on the table, with a photo frame next to it.

I saw the same thing in the bedroom just now.

"This is so cute! Is it custom-made?" Eriri picked up the tumbler and pressed a very obvious switch. Goto Ichiri in her hand then looked scared and like he had social phobia.

"Xiao Feng gave it to me at Christmas a long time ago. She also gave me many other figures later, but none of them were made by me, so I didn't put it on the table."

Goto Ichiri touched his head and smiled innocently.

For her, this tumbler left the deepest impression on her, so it is also the most precious thing. Although so many years have passed, the color on it has faded a little, and even parts of it are damaged, she still doesn't want to throw it away. Every time she looks at the tumbler in front of the computer, she can think of the carefree days at that time, and she will smile inadvertently.

Eriri did not respond. She half squatted down and looked at the photo frame on the table. There seemed to be a photo of Goto Ichiri and Takahashi Kaede on it. The two of them looked still very young. Takahashi Kaede stared at the front expressionlessly, while Goto Ichiri stayed beside him, timidly looking down at the camera. The two of them were holding hands, as if they were taking wedding photos.

"Feng has had this expression since he was a child." Eriri picked up the photo frame and looked at it carefully. She felt that after so many years, Takahashi Feng's eyes had not changed, nor had his personality.

It was as if things that were supposed to be changing drastically were fixed.

"No." Goto Ichiri shook his head, "I think Xiaofeng is gentler now than before."

Eriri didn't take her eyes off the photo frame, but she was still slightly shaken.

"Sister! There's a handsome brother knocking on the door! Come quickly!"

Goto Jiri's voice came from the door, and the two of them hurried out of the closet.

"Here it comes! Wait!"

Goto Ichiri hurried downstairs and opened the door for Takahashi Kaede.

Chapter 101 Erli is not a little devil~

"I took a bath for a while, fainted, and nearly drowned in the bathtub." Takahashi Feng closed the door with a heavy breath. Goto Ichiri noticed the large item he was carrying and naturally took the bag from his hand.

After changing his shoes, he walked into the living room and leaned his guitar against the wall. There were a lot of small toys scattered on the floor. I guess Goto Jiri had just played with them and didn't put them back into the box.

"Are you okay?" Goto Ichiri rubbed Takahashi Kaede's still wet hair, "You'll have a headache if you don't blow dry your hair at night."

"It's okay, it's too hot. I almost dried my hair when I came here. After taking a bath, I looked at the time and realized that I was almost too late, so I simply didn't blow dry my hair."

"Uncle and aunt, I'm here. Ryoko asked me to say hello to you~" Takahashi Feng walked out of the kitchen and greeted Goto's parents, then turned around and took the bag from Goto Ichiri's hand and put it on the table.

Touching Erli's head who had been following him, Gao Qiaofeng smiled and said to her, "These snacks are for you. I often hear your sister talk about you, and I have wanted to meet you for a long time."

Goto Jiri looked at the smile of the handsome man in front of her, and her original intention to play a teasing on him disappeared in an instant. Just for this bag of snacks, she couldn't do such an ungrateful thing.

"My name is Takahashi Feng. I'm your sister's good friend. Nice to meet you~" Takahashi Feng half squatted down and looked at her at eye level.

"I know! My sister always mentions your name in front of me!"

Goto Jiri didn't think about it and blurted out innocent words: "She always says that she will marry you when she grows up. You should start saving money from now on. Brother, do you like my sister? Will you agree to marry her when you grow up?"

After saying that, he hugged Takahashi Kaede's legs and looked at his sister subtly. Goto Ichiri let out an indescribable scream, and his eyes turned into thick lines and twitched to both sides.

Erli, why did you tell everyone everything? Aren’t we good sisters? Didn’t we agree to this just now? You are teasing Xiaofeng, not me!

"No, no, no, that's not it! Erli, how can you slander someone's innocence like that? I never said that! All my ice cream is for you, just go play by yourself, please!"

Goto Ichiri pushed Erli, trying to make this little devil shut his mouth, but when he turned around he saw Takahashi Kaede's subtle expression. The smile on his face just now became stiff as if a time-stop switch was pressed. A gust of wind blew from nowhere, and although it was a hot summer, Goto Ichiri felt cold all over and wanted to find a hole to crawl into to keep warm.

Ahhhhh I want to die. I will never tell any secrets to Erli again!

What's Xiao Feng's expression? Is she disappointed in me? Although what she said is true...but...but she is just a child. How can you believe what a child says?

But...but how would you answer?

Goto Ichiri opened his blue eyes wide and looked at Takahashi Kaede. He felt a little dry in the mouth, so he licked his lips and revealed a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Of course I like your sister, but marriage is not something you can just say casually. If you are curious, you can ask your parents and see how long it took them to go from liking each other to getting married." Takahashi Feng came back to his senses and said gently to Erli, then turned to Goto Ichiri.

"Don't pay attention to what children say. They don't understand love. We don't understand either."

Takahashi Kaede comforted Goto Ichiri, and she slowly calmed down.

Goto Jiri looked at Takahashi Kaede's reaction in surprise. How could it be like this? Didn't this brother have a good relationship with his sister? Why didn't he blush shyly like on TV?

Both parties have ambiguous feelings, but neither of them says it explicitly. With her, the third party, fanning the flames, these two people should confess their true feelings to each other with red faces, and finally care about it. Why does the handsome brother look so calm, and even the sister is just a little panicked, not shy or blushing?

Don't they like each other at all?

No, it's impossible.

Goto Jiri denied her thoughts in her heart. How could they not like each other? Every time her sister talked to her about Takahashi Kaede, the look in her eyes and expectations clearly showed that she was in love! Looking at the brother's attitude towards his sister, it was hard to believe that he didn't like her.

She, Goto Jiri, a child who is both a fun-loving person and precocious, had a deep understanding of what love is when she watched the late-night romance drama with her parents. She thought her sister stayed in her room all day playing galgames, and the love experience she gained from such games was of no practical use at all. Her experience came from her parents and TV dramas, and she thought she should be more realistic and practical!

But this time, she had to admit that she had hit a wall. She didn't understand why these two people didn't dare to make their relationship clear, when they were obviously so suitable for each other and had such a good relationship.

She pondered deeply in her little head until her mother's voice came, "It's time to prepare dinner~" and she stopped thinking.

Everyone sat at the dining table, and in front of Goto Naoki's surprised and slightly eager eyes, Takahashi Kaede handed the assembled guitar to him.

With a slight tremor, he unzipped the outer shell, and the black and gold guitar body gradually appeared in the air. When the zipper was completely opened, a complete guitar lay in Goto Naoki's arms.

The guitar has a straight shape and a smooth touch, and is so exquisite that it looks like a product of an industrial machine tool. The six parallel strings are arranged neatly. The sound produced when it is plucked is sometimes like the sound of a spring, and sometimes like the low sound of a gong or drum. The sound waves of the high-speed vibration of the strings are strengthened in the resonance box, and every note that comes out is thrilling.

Naoki Goto set up his guitar, simply climbed the scales, and then played "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" under the gaze of everyone.

Although I haven't touched the guitar for a long time due to work, I can still play this simple song smoothly.

The notes played by the guitar seemed to turn into elves, dancing around everyone sitting at the table. Listening to the pleasant piano music, the nose was filled with the aroma of food, just like the banquets in ancient times where people danced around the fire. This mixture of food and music had an incredible relaxing effect.

The sound stopped and everyone applauded. Goto Naoki and Michiyo looked at each other and hung the piano in the picture frame in the living room.

"Amazing craftsmanship, almost exactly the same as the real thing. By the way, this agreement has been made for many years. I didn't expect that you still remember it, Xiaofeng. I didn't even care about it." Goto Naoki took the initiative to fill Takahashi Feng's glass with the drink and clinked glasses with him politely.

"When I made the promise, I didn't expect the guitar to be so difficult to make. Later, when I was able to make it, I was always too busy to do it. In the end, I thought that since it had been delayed for so long, I might as well make it more refined and tune the strings and pitch. I think it is quite meaningful to be able to fulfill this promise during the summer vacation between primary school and junior high school."

"Hahahaha, indeed." Goto Naoki clinked glasses with him again and then showed a somewhat dejected expression.

"As soon as I touched the guitar and heard the unique sound of the guitar, I felt like I was back in the days when I was in the band, that free and uninhibited joy. In fact, it was because of the band that I met Michiyo. It was fate."

"Ah, Dad, you wooed Mom through the band!"

Under the surprised gaze of his two daughters, the father nodded shyly.

"After all, boys who are in bands are particularly popular. I put all my attention on the band at that time, which was partly due to this reason."

"Really? Don't say that in front of the kids." Goto Michiyo was a little shy. Although the couple had been together for more than ten years, their relationship was still as pure as that of a couple in their first love.

Gao Qiaofeng supported his head and watched the couple interacting, feeling mixed emotions.

He has lived for so many years and has never seen a happy marriage. It is always about mutual compromise and torture, with children being the only bond to maintain the marriage.
