Ito Rin lowered her head, put the fishing rod back in place, and continued to fish, and replied.

"Of course, I've said that all dogs in Akita are Akita dogs."

"I feel like you're lying. I'm going to sing first."

"Hey, have we arrived at the KTV yet?"

……

after an hour.

The lake surface was illuminated by the sunlight, making it look dazzlingly white. The air became cooler, and Ito Rin put on another piece of clothing and put on her snow goggles.

There are already three fish in the red bucket next to you.

Winter is indeed a good time for fishing. With her method, she might not catch even one fish after the ice melts, but now the fish actively jumps into the bucket.

This gave him full confidence in today's ten goals.

While waiting for someone to take the bait, he opened his phone to see if there were any new messages.

Yamada Ryo sent an emoticon.

"This is what you call fishing (disdain)" The fishing in her impression was not such a simple way.

"Isn't it enough to catch fish?"

"Did you catch anything?"

"We've already got quite a few. When we get back to Tokyo, I'll buy you some more fish." Ito Rin patted the red bucket to make the fish swim. "There's not much hope of bringing them back. I'll just find some fish at the market and cook it for you."

"Fine……"

Yamada Ryo reluctantly agreed to this compromise, "If it doesn't taste good, I'm not going to admit it."

"Then I can't do anything about it. After all, there is a limit to cooking skills. I can ask Hong Xia to help."

"It's just between the two of us." Yamada Ryo was about to start the video chat.

"What do you mean? Hongxia is no longer your sister? Or is your memory too bad?"

"Rin-chan, just know it in your heart. Don't ask me to the end, otherwise I won't be able to think of an excuse."

"…I don't know whether I should praise you for being honest or call you hypocritical."

I found the video button and typed the last words while waiting for him to get through.

"Of course I'm honest. I never lie."

"His greatest characteristic is his thick skin, which is definitely thicker than that of all the other members of the band combined."

"Shut up, quickly connect the video and let me see the scenery over there."

Unable to resist Miss Yamada's urging, Ito Rin pointed the phone at herself and pressed the video button.

The young lady from Tokyo, who must have just had lunch, was sitting in the room resting in her pajamas. When the camera got closer to her body, breaking Ito Rin's serious look, she smiled with satisfaction.

"You really know how to have fun." Ito Rin touched her nose and felt that the winter air was particularly dry.

It actually gave him the urge to have a nosebleed.

"There are so many things to learn." Yamada Ryo patted his chest and became more confident. "A treasure girl like me may never be figured out in a lifetime."

"Indeed, the degree of shamelessness is simply immeasurable."

"It's foolish to resist my charm with words. Stand up and let me see the ice." She seemed not to understand Ito Rin's words and smiled confidently.

"Strange, how did you become like this? I felt like you were normal before."

"It has always been like this, but you just didn't notice the eyes. Stand up quickly."

"Hey, this is delaying my fishing trip."

He stood up while complaining, and pointed the camera back and forth at the lake, finally aiming specifically at the fish swimming in the bucket.

"How was the harvest in two hours?"

"You are an idiot." Yamada Ryo made a jealous sound, "How can a bucket like this hold ten fish? It would be enough to catch two more."

"Are you envious of my fishing skills?"

"What a joke! Fish like this can be bought freshly caught in the supermarket for just a little money. Why would you sit on the lake and fish in the winter?"

I always felt that there was a hint of bitterness in her tone, as if I had heard such words in the distant past.

"You're not saying anything because you think what I said makes sense? Send me the fish as soon as possible."

"No, what you just said brought back some strange memories for me." Ito Rin replied.

"Before talking about memories, I'm more interested in fish. If you don't have anyone to share your memories with, I can listen to you reluctantly."

Ignore her tsundere attitude which is totally inadequate compared to the store manager.

"The first time I ate it was fish hotpot, right? I was still living in a small rental house at the time."

"Think of something normal."

"It's all up to you."

During the chat, an uncle from the same village noticed that something was wrong with him, and after asking, he found out that it was his girlfriend in Tokyo.

"Rin, you plan to stay in Tokyo after graduation, right?"

The new fisherman tied a towel on his head, rolled up his sleeves and hit the ice. The white breath from his mouth was extremely conspicuous in the winter afternoon.

"Probably." Ito Rin answered with certainty.

"There will be fewer people in the village now, and the young people will leave sooner or later." The uncle who had been fishing for a long time expressed such emotion.

"Didn't your kid go to Osaka? He didn't even come back for the New Year." Someone asked him.

"There's nothing we can do. The village can never compare to the big city. It's pitch black at night. How can they be willing to stay here?"

A group of middle-aged men complained about the government's measures, which made Ito Rin feel a little embarrassed when she was among them.

After all, he was also one of the people who planned to escape according to the other party.

"Hahaha." Ryo Yamada on the other end let out an unkind laugh.

Then, she stroked her chin and showed interest. "A real village might look quite desolate."

Ito Rin has rich life experience, and I don't know how she got her impression of the countryside.

"The village and the city are two completely different worlds. I'll go back early and you'll see for yourself."

In order to prepare her mentally, Ito Rin added, "There will be fresh animal feces."

Yamada Ryo looked at him with disdain: "Why did you use the word fresh? Do you want to do something with them?"

His original intention was to disgust her, but he ended up being disgusted instead, so Ito Rin rolled her eyes.

"It seems that it is time for you to see the horror."

"Don't forget, I can turn off my phone at any time." Yamada Ryo sat up straight, put his phone on the desk, and his interest was piqued.

Although the amount of fish she caught was far from her high psychological expectation, Ito Rin still picked up the bucket, said goodbye to others, and slowly walked towards the village.

On the vast white ground, there are occasionally a few patches of green. The trees beside the road have long lost their leaves, and only the roots of the trees have withered yellow branches and leaves.

Since the purpose was to show her the world, Ito Rin walked to the entrance of the village and then walked further along the outer buildings.

"Do you know what is the most common animal in the village?" Ito Rin asked after seeing the traces of field ridges not far away.

This close-up experience of watching the live broadcast kept Yamada Ryo interested. After thinking for a while, he said, "Is it a cow?"

"It's barely correct, but they are definitely livestock at best, and cattle are just the most important."

"Then I am right."

No matter how proud she was, she could not have anticipated the scene that Ito Rin would find next.

An old yellow cow mooed leisurely in front of Ito Rin, and then dropped a huge pile of feces.

Chapter 73 I will reward you

"When you return to Tokyo, I will repay you."

There is deep affection hidden in the simple sentence. Ito Rin understood this as there would be a big dinner after returning to Tokyo, and then she tactfully moved the camera away from the old cow that was doing bad things.

"You don't need to repay me. These are what I should do. Don't take it to heart, Liangjiang."

"You polluted my eyes, how can I forgive you so easily?"

Now that she could no longer deceive herself, Ito Rin gritted her teeth and, after looking around to see if there was anyone else around, she looked as if Yamada Ryo had gotten a great advantage.

"Then let me show you something nice so you don't get angry."

There was a helpless look on Yamada Ryo's beautiful face. She covered her eyes with her hands, looking like she wanted to kill someone.

In the cold winter day, Ito Rin tore off her clothes and showed her her fair skin.

"You... forget it, just send it back to me quickly, who wants to see this kind of thing!"

"You said your eyes were polluted? Isn't this enough to compensate? Are you planning to see something deeper?"

“…No.” Yamada Ryo took a deep breath, feeling that his already unhealthy mentality had been trampled and polluted again. “Although I have seen many parts of you before, this is the first time.”

"There is no difference, just the location is different."

"Is that so?" She was a little skeptical at this point, but she still opened her eyes and planned to study it.

Then she looked at Ito Rin and said unhappily, "Why are you so obedient at this time?"

"It's very cold in winter, and exposing your skin outside is a torture."

"You're not stupid." She said lazily, "If you feel cold, just go home. To be honest, it's really hard to understand the thoughts of people like you who like to run around."

It simply doesn't make sense for you to say that.

Exploring and visiting second-hand shops is also running around, right?

I just hate things that I'm not interested in.

"Want to video chat with my mom?"

"For something as serious as this, it's better not to borrow your phone. Wait until I meet you in person to show you that you take it seriously."

“It seems that I am not taken seriously.”

"You guessed it right." Yamada Ryo looked at him with relief, "Rin-chan's status has plummeted now."

"so sad."

"Since you say you are sad, please make a sad expression instead of saying it with a smile."

They returned home while chatting on video, and after seeing Xiaoyuan's trace, she hung up the phone on her own initiative.

"What a strange person! Is he shy or does he take it seriously?" Ito Rin said to herself.

"Xiao Lin, why are you back so early?"

"Because your son's fishing skills are so good, if I stay too long, the bucket won't be able to hold all the fish I caught." Ito Rin said confidently and put the bucket of fish in front of the kitchen door.

Without bothering to appreciate his mother's surprised expression, he knew there would be fish for dinner tonight, so he slipped into the bedroom and started chatting with Xiao Xiduo.

During the holidays, he is like a wound-up alarm clock, and has to deal with far more things than usual.

Although chatting with beautiful girls is a pleasant thing, being with three beautiful girls at the same time is a very serious activity.

If he accidentally said the wrong thing, the consequences would definitely not be what he wanted to see.

"Goto-san's singing is pretty good."

Ito Rin, who put her legs in the kotatsu and had been freezing outside for two or three hours, showed a satisfied expression. Then she opened her phone and saw Kita praising Pochi-chan.

"Compared to me?"

"Are you ashamed to compare yourself with Goto-san?" Kita, who had reestablished contact, smiled gently, "The person she should compare herself with should be me."
