Lonely Rock for the Blind

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru sat obediently.

Ijichi Xingge looked nervously at the boy sitting on her lap.

This guy... is quite well behaved.

On the other hand…

Ichichi Hoshige looked at Ichichi Hongxia next to her.

"... "

Ijichi Hongxia was staring at him with red eyes that were exactly the same as his own.

Compared to Hong Xia...isn't this guy more obedient?!

And she's pretty cute... well, not that annoying.

Ijichi Hongxia turned to look at the TV.

Ijichi Hoshige was also watching the TV, though her attention was more focused on the boy in her lap.

"Um...I say, what's your name?"

Feeling a little awkward about not saying anything, Ijichi Seika asked softly.

"Nekoyashiki Haru."

The boy's voice was soft, without the noisy tone typical of other children.

"Nekiyashiki... I've only heard of this surname in rumors..."

"Ah."

Nekoyashiki Haru responded softly and then didn't respond.

"Uh…"

Ichichi Hoshige scratched his cheek.

How to talk next...

"Um...what do you do for a living?"

"...?"

Nekoyashiki Haru raised his head, his purple pupils looking at Ijichi Seika's face above him in confusion.

“Is being a primary school student considered work?”

"Ah...um, good job."

Holy shit, what are you talking about?!

If you don't know how to chat, don't chat... It's so embarrassing...

Complaining about herself in her heart, Ichichi Xingge's lips trembled.

"Pfft, sister is an idiot!"

Ijichi Hongka, who had been watching the two of them from the beginning, suddenly laughed.

"Aha?!"

Ichichi Hoshige looked at Ichichi Hongxia.

And Ijichi Hongxia rushed over and hugged Ijichi Xingge with a smile on her face.

"I forgive you, sister! But you are not allowed to break the promise in the future!"

"... "

Yidizhi Xingge remained silent and turned her head away from looking at Yidizhi Hongxia.

“…Why aren’t you talking?”

Ichichi Hongxia tilted her head.

"Because there will be a next time?"

Nekoyashiki Haru said softly.

"?!"

Ijichi Hongxia opened her eyes wide.

"?!"

Ijichi Hoshige also opened her eyes wide.

Oh my god, how did he know?!

"Sister, you're a liar!"

Ijichi Hongxia hit Ijichi Xingge's waist with her little fist.

"Ahhh... hm? Pretty comfortable?"

The intensity, like a massage, made Ijichi Xingge subconsciously show a comfortable expression.

Seeing this scene, Ijichi Hongxia became even angrier.

"Bad guy!"

"Ah... this can't really be called a villain."

Ichichi Xingge tilted her head helplessly.

"That's the bad guy! The real bad guy! The liar who's planning to break the contract again!"

"I'm doing serious work, can you be more sensible?"

Ichichi Xingge said helplessly.

"Never!"

Ijichi Hongka punched even harder.

And Ijichi Hoshige's expression became more comfortable.

Nekoyashiki Haru listened quietly to the conversation and playfulness between the two, narrowing his eyes.

Is the relationship...good?

Is this how it is between family members?

Chapter 193 Autumn Flowers (3)

"How's it, Xiaoqing? Is it to your liking?"

The woman's blurry face came closer to Nekayashiki Haru and asked.

"Yeah, it's delicious."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"That's good…"

The woman breathed a sigh of relief.

"I was afraid you wouldn't like it, Xiaoqing."

"If you don't like it, just keep going. I can be in charge of the cooking."

The man next to the woman's seat said.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded slightly.

Ichichi Hoshige, who was standing next to him, patted the boy's head.

"Come more often in the future. Dinner will be delicious when you come!"

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru looked up at Ijichi Hoshika.

Ijichi Xingge felt a little scared when being looked at.

"What...what happened?"

"nothing."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook his head.

He was just thinking about something.

I was thinking, since they are family, if I come here too often, people will dislike me.

As expected...

"Ah, Xiaoqing, can you stay at our house tonight?"

The woman suddenly said.

"?"

Nekoyashiki Haru was stunned.

Ichichi Xingge was also stunned.

Ijichi Hongxia raised her hands high.

"Great! Kitty, sleep with me!"

"…I…"

Nekayashiki Haru was about to shake his head when a woman's voice rang out.

"Your parents agree. It's not easy living alone in that apartment, is it? Although you're not without someone to take care of you, it's still a little different from where we are, right?"

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru lowered his head.

Ijichi Hoshige looked at Nekayashiki Haru, then looked up at her mother.

"He lives alone?"

"Ah... maybe that's the way it is."

"Huh? His parents don't care about him?"

"Not really, they..."

Before the woman could finish her words, Nekayashiki Haru looked up and answered Ijichi Seika.

“They’re very busy.”

"... "

Ichichi Hoshige was stunned.

"So...busy..."

"Ok!"

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded vigorously.

The blonde woman looked at Nekayashiki Haru and smiled.

"So Xiaoqing, please stay here."

"... "

"It's just a few days, is that okay?"

"…it is good."

Nekayashiki Haru nodded and agreed to the woman's invitation.
