The tall weeds hid their traces.

On a windless day, the winter sun is warm and there is no better place than here and in this kind of weather to paint doing nothing.

No one can see them except the blue sky and white clouds.

The pencil struggled with the paper, making a rustling sound.

After a while, Xiaolian opened the kettle, poured hot water into the kettle lid, and drank it in small sips.

"Is the painting of Xiaolian finished?" asked Toru Watanabe.

"I have finished drawing one."

"Can you show it to me?"

"Yeah." Xiaolian nodded obediently.

Toru Watanabe took out her sketchbook, and the two young ladies sitting behind him also looked over.

The village, farmland, and houses are drawn in a childish style, but they look very similar.

"Oh, it's much better than the one drawn by Watanabe from Class 4." Kiyono Rin chuckled, covering her mouth with her hands.

"Mr. Kiyono from Class 1, can you let Mr. Watanabe from Class 4 see your painting?" Toru Watanabe said unhappily.

"Do you know what this is?"

"What's this?"

“This is self-humiliating.”

"..."

What you say is what it is.

Kiyono Rin gave him the sketchbook.

In the sketchbook, although it is not yet finished, the outline of Sawamura can be seen, and the style is realistic.

"Okay, I admit that you are the best here." Watanabe Toru returned the sketchbook to her.

"You are wrong. I am not the most powerful one here." Qingye Rin denied.

"Huh?" Watanabe Toru was stunned and looked at Kujo Miki.

Qing Ye Lin put her long hair behind her ears and said:

"Kujo is a genius at painting. When he was young, before he received instruction from a painter, he could easily depict the scenery in front of him as a photo. He could also analyze one scene into another and express it in different forms."

"Miji, you are so awesome?" Toru Watanabe asked in surprise.

"Shouldn't you be able to do this kind of thing when you reach a certain age?" said Kujo Miki with a look of disdain.

Following textbook knowledge, talent for drawing is also within the scope of dragon clan’s memory inheritance?

Xiaolian crawled over on her knees and stuck her head out from Kujo Miki's arms.

"We want to see it too."

Kujo Miki was caught off guard and looked at the elementary school student with her beautiful eyes slightly widened.

Apart from Toru Watanabe, no more than four people had ever touched her sleeves, let alone gotten into her arms.

If it were any other first-grade girl, she wouldn't resort to violence, but she would definitely curse with a cold face.

But, this is Toru Watanabe's sister, so she is her sister...

Xiaolian looked up and pulled at her clothes:

"Sister Meiji, we want to see your paintings."

Kujo Miki came back to her senses and said with a straight face, "Sit still and I'll show you."

Xiaolian made a sweet "hmm" sound with her nose and moved her butt.

"Let's sit down."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Toru Watanabe originally tried to hold back his laughter, but Kiyono Rin burst out laughing, causing him to laugh out loud as well.

When a first-grade child is told to sit still while in an adult's arms, her first reaction is naturally to sit between the adult's legs.

At this time, Xiaolian was sitting in Kujo Miki's arms.

Kujo Miki glared at the two of them with murderous eyes, and when she looked away, she looked helpless:

"Xiao Lian, right?"

"Ah."

"When I say sit well, I mean sit well on the side for you, like this," Kujo Miki raised her eyes and aimed at Watanabe Toru who was still smiling, "Watanabe, you sit well for your sister to see."

"Does this need to be demonstrated?"

"Sit upright."

"..."

Watanabe Toru sat upright with his back straight, looking like an ancient island warrior attending a pre-war meeting.

"Xiao Lian, did you see that? This is how you sit properly. Hurry up and get up."

"...Great, great, it's great!" The little girl held her face with both hands, her eyes shining.

"Xiao Lian?" Kujo Miki called softly.

Xiaolian came back to her senses, pointed at Qingye Rin with her little hand, and said in the tone of Kujo Miki:

"Qingye, sit up straight."

"..."

In the distance, crows were calling, their rough and hoarse voices echoing far away in the lonely winter sky.

Kujo Miki laughed so happily that her voice drowned out the crows.

Watanabe Toru was simply full of admiration for this sister. She was the only God, and even he didn't dare to talk to her like that!

Qingye Rin pressed her aching temple.

"Why doesn't it work?" Xiao Lianyu asked curiously, with an innocent tone.

Kujo Miki was still laughing and didn't have the energy to answer her.

Qing Ye Lin imagined that she was a kindergarten teacher, smiled and answered patiently:

"Your brother is obedient because he is Kujo-san's boyfriend."

"Huh?!" Xiaolian's eyes widened, "So it's because of this?!"

"Well, that's why you can't let anyone sit upright, Xiaolian."

"Sister Lin, can't you let Archer sit upright?" Xiaolian asked.

"Well..." Qing Ye Lin looked at Watanabe Toru, "Watanabe-san, is this okay?"

"Of course not." Watanabe Toru said without thinking, "We are friends. How can I sit upright just because you ask me to?"

Qingye Rin looked at Kujo Miki and said with a smile: "Do you want me to tell you whether it's true or not?"

"Whether it's true or false, what does it matter?" Kujo Miki acted as if she didn't care at all. "A person's mind cannot even be controlled by himself. I just need to see what he actually does."

"I admit that what you say makes sense." Qingye Rin nodded.

Before Kujo Miki could say something, Xiaolian pulled her clothes again.

"Sister Meiji, show me your painting."

Miki Kujo looked at her sister Watanabe in her arms and sighed.

"Leave immediately after reading this, got it?"

Chapter 214 New Year in Iwate Prefecture: Going to the Beach (11)

December 28th is the day we agreed to go see the sea.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the trio, together with the elementary school student Xiaolian, took an old tram with only one car and left the basin where Mizawa Village was located.

When they reached the nearest town, they took a bus that took them to the beach.

It was blue and cloudless, and the bus was driving under such a sky.

"Archer, Archer, a huge car just drove past!" Xiaolian pulled Watanabe Toru's sleeve.

"Where where?"

"there!"

"Ah, I can't see it anymore, Xiaolian, you should have reminded me earlier!"

"It doesn't matter. There will definitely be more later. We will call Archer then."

"Then please."

"Yes!" Xiaolian nodded firmly, like a police officer who had received an undercover mission.

She let go of Toru Watanabe and leaned against the bus window again.

Behind them, Miki Kujo looked at the two of them as if they were fools.

"Student Watanabe, have you considered letting Xiaolian go to Tokyo to study?" Asked Rin Kiyono, who was also sitting behind the two of them.

Toru Watanabe looked at his sister beside him. She didn't hear what Kiyono Rin said and was staring out the window intently.

The tiny body was carrying the oversized kettle from yesterday, which contained hot water that her mother had filled for her.

"Her parents won't go to Tokyo. I'm only in the first year of high school, and they're worried about me. I plan to bring her to Tokyo in two years, when I go to college and Xiaolian is in the fourth grade," said Toru Watanabe.

"We can go to Shenghua Girls' School." Qingye Rin suggested.

Toru Watanabe only studied Tokyo's high schools for a period of time when he was going to college, and those were the ones with the highest deviation values, not to mention the elementary schools that had nothing to do with him.

"How's that school?" he asked.

Qingye Rin did not talk about the educational philosophy, did not introduce the history of the school, and did not say how advanced the facilities were. He just said lightly:

"My classmate Jiujo and I went to elementary school at Shenghua."

"That's it."

Toru Watanabe could imagine that the lecture hall of this school must be very spacious, made of wood, and of an incredibly high quality.

"Oh, by the way," he remembered something, "Will Xiaolian be bullied if she goes in?"

Before Qing Ye Lin could speak, Kujo Miki sneered and said:

"Your sister is my sister. Who dares to bully this lady's sister? If you dare to touch her, I will make his family unable to stay in Tokyo."

"Archer, look! It's a taxi. This is the first time we've seen a taxi!"

Xiaolian and Kujo Miki spoke at the same time, but Watanabe Toru didn't pay attention to what Xiaolian said.

He waited until the taxi passed by before looking out the window.

"Taxi? Is it Clover's taxi? Where is it?"

Xiaolian puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction and shouted, "Ache, if you stare blankly all day, you'll be eaten by a wild boar!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Xiaolian, will you give me another chance? I don't want to be eaten by a wild boar."

"We really can't do anything about you." Xiaolian sighed like an adult, "Next time you must check it immediately, understand?"

"Yeah, definitely."

Xiaolian continued to stare at the window, paying attention to every car passing by.

After a while, there were no buses or taxis to be seen, and the sea appeared.

Xiaolian opened her mouth wide, pressed her face against the car window, and stared at the sea in the distance with her twinkling eyes without blinking.

"This is the first time I see the sea." She said this after a long while.

"When summer comes, I'll take you to the beaches in Okinawa to surf," said Toru Watanabe.

"Surfing?!" Xiaolian looked at him in surprise. "I've seen it on TV. Can I stand up on the sea, too?"

"Of course you can. Xiaolian is the strongest first-grade student in the entire island country."
