If you can't learn, then just fall in love

"I also did my homework on the last day of the holiday. Of course I need to have a good rest during the holiday."

"Really?" Wenno looked at Qingkong happily.

Qingkong smiled softly, "That's fake. I've developed the habit of finishing my homework before playing since I was a child. Plus, now I have to teach you idiots, so I always feel insecure if I don't finish my homework in advance."

Wen Nai looked at Qingkong's gloating expression and snorted. He really shouldn't have trusted Qingkong.

"Let me clean up next. Even though I'm clumsy, I'm more than capable of doing this." Fumino recalled what Nino had told her to do just now. "Besides, it's not convenient for you to wash the dishes with your wound on."

Qingkong didn't think it was a big deal, but Miss Fumino's firm attitude made him compromise.

"Don't worry, I'm determined to be a perfect wife!" Fumino rolled up her sleeves, full of energy, "Although I'm still in training, I'm no longer the same person I used to be!"

Qingkong said, "Oh," and put all the things he wanted to wash in the pool. "Although it's a little inconvenient, it won't break if you wash it in here. Just hand it to me when you're done, and I'll be responsible for putting it away for you."

"Huh? Are you doubting me, my stupid brother?" Fumino rolled his eyes at Qingkong and said, "Just stay by my side and watch my progress carefully."

"You can't wash away the oil stains just by rinsing with water." Qingkong kindly reminded Wen No.

"You are so long-winded."

Thinking of this, Wen Nai blushed and squeezed out a lot of detergent, which made Qingkong next to her very helpless.

"Here, I'm done washing. Here you go."

His hand slipped and the plate fell, but fortunately Qingkong reacted quickly and caught it with his hand, smiling gently.

Fumino covered her face and wanted to cry, "Laugh if you want to. Anyway, I am just a water flea who can't even do housework. I can't even compare to a boy. It's really embarrassing."

"Even if you're an idiot at housework, Fumino didn't feel ashamed to do something she's not good at just to keep me from getting wet." Qingkong flicked Fumino's hand, "Besides, there aren't any water fleas this big."

Just after he said something that touched me, he added something that ruined the atmosphere. Qingkong-kun is indeed a big fool.

Giving Qingkong a blank look, Wenno hummed and started washing the dishes again. Although she was still clumsy, she tried her best not to cause trouble for Qingkong.

The clanging sounds of dishes hitting the pool wall became quieter and quieter, and Fumino had finished his unsuccessful work.

"Here, you are a guest but you still have to help me with housework. You must have worked so hard. Have an apple." Qingkong threw an apple over, "Nice catch. By the way, can you peel it?"

Fumino blinked her beautiful eyes and nodded, but her gaze wandered involuntarily.

"There's no other way. Just eat it with the skin." Fumino's reaction was the same as when he asked her if she could wash dishes. Qingkong didn't intend to let Fumino, a fool, get the knife.

"Qingkong-kun, please let me try. Mom always peeled apples for me to eat. I have seen it so many times, so I am sure I can do it. Please believe in the bond between me and Mom."

Hearing Fumino say this, Qingkong couldn't stop her, so he took out a fruit knife from the side and handed it to Fumino.

"Aren't you afraid like this, Qingkong-kun?"

Wenno was speechless as he looked at Qingkong's actions.

"Any questions?"

"There's definitely something wrong with this. It's not safe!" Fumino looked at Qingkong, who was holding the back of the knife with the handle facing her, "Don't do this again in the future."

"I'm just used to it." Qingkong, who always puts the dangerous side towards himself, doesn't think it's a big deal. "How about believing in the bond between us?"

Fumino, who was confused by Qingkong's words, became flustered. Bond?

Classmates, friends, family or that?

"I was just kidding about the bond. I did this just because I'm worried that clumsy Fumino would hurt herself before she even starts peeling the apple." Qingkong leaned aside, ready to watch Fumino's performance.

"Is that so? Anyway, don't do this kind of thing in the future!"

After repeatedly warning Qingkong, Fumino prepared to peel the apple seriously.

Qingkong, who was standing opposite Wenno, breathed a sigh of relief. The kid was talking, but the knife was shaking all the time. He was afraid that he would be stabbed in the next second.

Gripping the hilt of the knife tightly, Fumino took a deep breath.

"Well, you hold it the wrong way."

Quickly adjusting himself, Fumino took another deep breath.

"Put your thumb on the back of the knife."

Fumino looked at Qingkong in shame and anger, and put the knife aside. "Okay, okay, I don't know how to peel an apple at all."

Qingkong asked casually without any ill intention, but with some curiosity, "What about the bond?"

"It's been almost nine years. I've long forgotten what my mother did with her hands when she peeled an apple for me. I only remember her serious expression as she lowered her head and handed the apple to my mouth." Fumino looked lonely. It turned out that she hadn't seen her mother in so many years. The last time she ate a peeled apple was a long time ago. "It's so good to eat apples directly. The skin is rich in various nutrients. Apart from not having the taste of my mother's, it's simply perfect."

Qingkong looked at Fumino's expression and knew that she was thinking about the past. He reached out and flicked Fumino's forehead, "Let's go out. It's not good for my mother to be alone."

"Um..."

Qingkong followed Fumino and took a few more apples from the refrigerator.

"Why are Fumino's eyes red? Did Qingkong bully you?" Qiannai rolled her eyes at Qingkong and said, "Do you want me to help you teach him a lesson?"

Fumino smiled and shook his head, "Qingkong-kun is very good to me. He should be the best person to me."

Chinana was a little surprised when she heard this. In her impression, Fumino should be a relatively introverted child, but she actually said the word "best".

Qingkong, who had just come over, tilted his head curiously, but did not ask any more questions. He handed the apple and knife to Lady Chinana, "Mom, I want to eat an apple."

Once again, Qiannai reached out and touched Qingkong's forehead. "Do you have a fever? I remember you haven't asked your mother to help you with such small things for a long time."

Qingkong's mouth twitched. Is it that every time he asks his mother for help, it is a big trouble? I regret peeling apples for you to eat, Master China.

"A long time?" Fumino was a little curious.

Qian Nai thought for a moment, and guessed what her son was thinking. She took the apple and the knife and said, "You are still like this, kid. No matter how many times I tell you, you won't change. This is very dangerous."

"got used to."

Rolling her eyes at Qingkong, Chinanai peeled an apple for her beloved son, "Qingkong, when he was very young, was very attached to me, but later because of my mistakes, his relationship with me and his father became not so good, and it was not until recently that we resolved the knot."

This was the first time Fumino had heard of such a thing. Could it be that the seemingly mature Qingkong had a bad relationship with his family? She had never been clear about such things.

What kind of mood was Qingkong in when he comforted me?

Wen Nai was thinking about these things, and stupidly put the apple in his hand to his mouth, but was tapped on the forehead by Qingkong.

"Eh?"

Qiannai smiled and stuffed a piece of apple into Fumino's mouth, gently pulling her little face, "So, Qingkong is also an experienced person. If you have any problems in the future, just rely on him. I will also support you."

I ate the apple woodenly. It tasted the same as usual, but it was a little different.

"It smells like my mother." Fumino murmured to herself, looking at Aunt China who looked very similar to her mother, with a dazed look in her eyes. "Mom."

Chinana knew very well how much the girl in front of her had been through. Besides liking her, she felt distressed, so she gently hugged Fumino and said, "I like Fumino very much. Come to mom if you have any problems in the future."

Qingkong, who was chewing an apple, suddenly felt desolate. Since no one loved him, it would be better for him to eat the skin.

Please take a leave first

I'm seriously stuck and I'm so sleepy, I'll take a leave first and see if I can finish one or two chapters

I deleted and revised about 7,000 to 8,000 words, but it always felt weird, and in the end I didn't even finish a chapter.

I think the outline should be fine.

Oh my god, this is probably the sign of becoming a eunuch. I'm a little panicked. Let me struggle for a while.

Let me apologize to everyone first.

Chapter 89 I Have Changed Too

"I see, Qingkong is really not easy." The girl in a plaid shirt looked at the surrounding scenery while talking on the phone with her childhood sweetheart, "But after Fumino and Auntie leave, it will seem a little lonely over there, after all, you've just gotten used to living with others."

"I'm a little uncomfortable," Qingkong fiddled with the wind chimes on the balcony, missing Lady China who was here the past two days. "Although mom always likes to bully me, she's also very nice to me."

A gust of wind blew by, and the girl held down her hat. Seeing her sister and brother-in-law holding hands in front of her, she curled her lips and said, "Aren't you jealous of Fumino because your aunt treats Fumino too well?"

"I'm just complaining. You know my mom likes girls. She likes you, too, doesn't she?"

The girl recalled how Aunt China looked when she visited Qingkong's house, and the corners of her mouth curved, "That's right."

"Did Xiaohui have fun?"

Kato Megumi put her slightly cold hands in her pockets and said, "Well, it's fun here in Hokkaido. Everyone is very happy."

"I heard the wind coming from your side. Are you cold?"

"It's cold, but I'm not like my sister who has someone to help warm my hands." Xiaohui snorted.

"You said the same thing as me." Qingkong, who was also single, sighed, "Then I'll hang up first. Xiaohui, warm your hands."

Xiaohui nodded, with no intention of hanging up the phone.

Qingkong listened to the girl's breathing and felt a little strange.

"Xiao Hui?"

"Here~"

"Aren't you going to hang up the phone?"

"Because I want to hear more of Qingzora's voice," Ms. Kato's ears turned into cherry blossom color, "and I also want to tell Qingzora about the scenery I saw."

Qingkong, who seldom makes phone calls, feels that his phone credit should be sufficient.

"Well, thank you for your help, Xiaohui. But please put on your headphones first. It should be warmer that way."

"Just kidding, I won't waste your phone bill~" Hearing Qingkong's concern, Kato was already satisfied, "The reason I didn't hang up the phone was because of that kid Danta."

"I sent it to Runxiang's home. When it met Egg Tart, it seemed to miss you and Kong even more. It was listless yesterday, and Runxiang thought it was because it missed you, so I was wondering if you could spare some time to go there."

"I understand." Qingkong remembered that he had promised Runxiang to take Rengar on a trip and almost forgot about it. Fortunately, there was the reliable Xiaohui.

"Then I'll hang up. I'll show you the photos I took when I get back."

After a few seconds, the call still didn't get hung up, and both of them chuckled at the same time.

“We feel so stupid.”

"You are stupid. I was just infected by you."

Ms. Kato snorted, not wanting to bother with Hanyu Aozora, the idiot who had infected her, "I'm really dead this time."

After hanging up the phone, Xiaohui looked at the blue sky of Hokkaido with a smile on her face. The wind stopped at some point, and the warm sunshine made her feel no longer cold.

The girl saw her sister’s happy profile and wondered when she could be like her.

"I hope the weather will be good from now on. I want to take lots of photos."

Let that idiot in Tokyo see what I see. After all, the sky here is beautiful too.

Ms. Kato tilted her head cutely, feeling that what she said was a little strange.

"Raingar, we are going to see your children, stop eating." Qingkong picked up his master and thought about whether to put it into the schoolbag, but he didn't expect it to jump in first. "...You really like schoolbags."

After calling out, Rengar responded to his servant.

Walking on the road, the sun was shining brightly, the clover on the roadside swayed in the wind, and a man and a cat knocked on Wu Yuan's door.

After a while, Runxiang opened the door, "Welcome back, Mom."

Runxiang reached out to take the bag, but found it was Qingkong. She snorted and closed the door again.

"Um, Xiao Qingkong, I haven't washed yet, my hair is messy, and I haven't changed my clothes. Please don't come in for the time being."

Qingkong looked at the closed door, speechless, but he had to give the girl time to tidy up. He could only pray that Runxiang would be quick and not let him stand outside for too long like a fool.

Runxiang originally wanted to rush back to the bedroom to tidy up a little, but when she saw Pudding and Egg Tart running to the door and scratching it, her heart cooled down.

"Xiao Qingkong must have come to see the pudding and egg tarts because Xiaohui told him... not for me. If I delay his time, he will be hated."

Patting her face, Runxiang, who was not good at dressing up, gave a bitter smile. She wondered what was wrong with her. It would be better not to waste time.

Opening the door, Runxiang greeted with a smile.

Qingkong squatted down at the door and picked up Pudding and Egg Tart. The smile on his face made Runxiang feel happy and sad.

As expected, Xiao Qingkong came to see the cat. He lowered his head and didn't even want to look at me.

Because Qingkong had never brought Raingar here to find her and Pudding, Runxiang couldn't help but think that he came because of Dantart and Xiaohui.

While teasing the pudding and egg tarts, Qingkong was quite panicked, because he couldn't tell how Runxiang was different from before.

"It only took a little time to open the door, but Runxiang should have dressed up a little, right?"

He glanced at Runxiang secretly and found that she was smiling bitterly. Qingkong became more certain that Runxiang hoped that he would discover what was different about her.

Qingkong knew very well that Runxiang was a cute girl with little self-confidence. If he didn't point out her differences and praise her, she would definitely be discouraged.
