The lady can hear my voice

She nodded: "Okay."

-

“This is a garden, usually taken care of by specialized gardeners.”

"This is a swimming pool. No one has used it for a long time."

"This is where we usually have afternoon tea, but I've never had it."

"here it is……"

"Wait, wait, wait..." Niijima Sora interrupted her helplessly, "Rukaba-san, your introduction is really..."

"What...?"

"…Nothing, never mind, no need to introduce, we can just stroll around."

"Oh." Ruo Yemu thought this was a good idea. She didn't really want to talk in the first place.

While admiring the scenery of Wakaba's house, Niijima Sora said, "Speaking of which, Wakaba-san, do you remember what I said when we first met last time?"

"Remember." Er Wu Wu Wu Jiu Wu San Ling Ling

"You said you recognized me."

"Well, it's not stalking, let me clarify that first." When Sora Niijima thought about the photo he was secretly taken by the wooden man at that time, he felt a little helpless.

No matter how you look at it, I think I'm a good person. I'm just a wooden man and I really don't have the vision to judge people.

Hearing what Shinjima Sora said, Wakaba Mu began to apologize: "I'm sorry, I took your photo without your permission at that time, but I deleted it later, but I haven't told you yet."

"Do you want to check your phone?" Ruo Yemu handed over his phone obediently.

Naturally, Sora Niijima didn't take it. "It's okay, it's okay, I believe you."

"Um, let's get back to the topic."

"The reason why I know you...is mainly because I'm a fan of crychic."

"Similarly, this is also why I got to know Toyokawa-san."

“……”As soon as crychic was mentioned, Ruo Yemu fell silent again.

She does have feelings for that band.

But the feelings cannot change the reality of its disbandment.

I can't do anything.

Just like now.

Sora Niijima looked quietly at Wakaba Mutsu who lowered his head, and asked.

"Very helpless, right?"

"...?"

"As a child, a minor, I have no say in matters like family reorganization and can only be forced to accept it."

Ruoye Mu: "..."

Niijima Sora smiled, "But don't worry."

"I will never invade your home."

-

Niijima Sora subsequently talked a lot with Wakaba Mutsu.

They talked about Xiangzi's current situation, their respective hobbies, Soyo, and Deng, including the band they have formed now.

While talking about these topics, Sora Niijima was also carefully observing Wakaba Mu's reaction.

But she is worthy of being called a wooden person.

There was not even a micro-expression. In order to understand her, Sora Niijima could not think of any other way except mind reading.

But from another perspective, their relationship is much better than it was at the beginning.

At least the distance between two people is not that far.

From one meter to fifty centimeters.

It is indeed a significant improvement.

"Miss Ruoye, can I ask you a question?"

"……Um."

"What do you think about your parents' divorce?"

"Or do you want them to separate?"

If Ye Mu stopped, they had unknowingly arrived near the vegetable garden.

This is also the place where Ruoye Mu likes to stay most when he returns home.

Because you can grow cucumbers and other plants you like.

She did not answer the rather sharp question from Sora Niijima just now, but spoke instead.

"I haven't watered my cucumbers today."

"...?"

-

Watching Ruo Yemu skillfully pick up the sprinkler and water the cucumbers.

Looking at her extremely focused expression and that rare relaxed smile.

It seems that Wakaba Mutsu only behaves like this when he is with cucumber.

"Do you like cucumbers very much?" Of course Sora Niijima knew this, but what he really wanted to ask was why you liked cucumbers.

If interpreting Ruo Yemu is not possible, then maybe interpreting cucumber is possible.

Ruoye Mu did not stop what she was doing, but she answered seriously.

"like."

"like very much."

“Cucumbers are tropical crops and require a lot of water during their growth cycle.”

"More or less watering will affect its growth."

"So someone has to take good care of it and water it regularly so that it can bloom and bear fruit."

“But the cucumbers I planted have always been short of water.”

Sora Niijima: “…”

He seemed to... understand what it meant.

If we compare Wakaba Mutsuki to the cucumber itself.

So water it, water it regularly.

In fact, it is the love given to her by her family and the regular care provided by her family.

She said cucumbers were lacking water, but what she actually meant was that she had never felt the true love from her family and her parents.

So she really needs it.

But... there are many crops that can express this meaning, why cucumber?

Sora Niijima asked this question.

"Because... it's delicious?" Ruoye Mu said uncertainly himself.

Her response almost made Sora Niijima fall down.

Could it be that the previous interpretation was all wrong?

Am I Dihua?

Never mind. There's no point in imagining this.

"Rukaba, you like cucumbers, but have you ever thought about growing something else, not crops, but flowers?"

"There are many delicate flowers in this world. They all need people's careful care. If they are not properly managed, they will wither immediately."

"Don't you like flowers?"

Wakaba Mu: "...Flowers are too troublesome. People will hate them."

When Sora Niijima heard this answer, he felt relieved.

This shows that there was nothing wrong with his interpretation just now.

Ruo Yemu really longed for love, but she didn't dare to say it or express it, so she looked like a wooden person.

"But when the flowers are in full bloom, they are extremely beautiful, far more beautiful, more gorgeous and more eye-catching than the flowers on cucumbers."

When Niijima Sora said this, Wakaba Mutsu frowned and looked at him with a serious look.

“Don’t say bad things about cucumbers.”

"...I'm sorry." Sora Niijima apologized decisively.

"But that's not what I want to say. I don't mean to denigrate cucumbers."

"I mean, when a flower wilts, it's very obvious, and that's why it attracts a lot of attention."

"If it's just a cucumber, few people will notice it blooming, and few people will notice it withering."

“Is it because its flowers are not beautiful enough?”

"It's hard to say, actually. Everyone has their own aesthetic taste."

"But I think the main reason is that it's not obvious enough."

“That’s why it’s ignored.”

As Wakaba Mu watched Sora Niijima speak seriously, his expression slowly changed.

"But... being too troublesome will make people dislike you."

"But this is the only means of resistance, isn't it?"

046 I thought you had become sensible

Niijima Sora's advice to Wakaba Mu just now did not mean that he also wanted to prevent the family from divorcing or anything like that.

To be honest, he didn't have much feelings for his parents in this world.

Whether they divorced or not, it would probably take many years for Sora Niijima to truly accept that they were his parents.

So, in fact, what happened today did not have much impact on him.

But it’s different for Ruoye Mu.

Her family is original, and the love she lacks is real.

If she really is just a doll without emotions, she will break down sooner or later.

People have emotions, no matter how much you deny it, this will never change.

Otherwise, you are not a human being.

Wakaba Mutsu followed behind Shinjima Sora, still thinking about what he had just said.

My doubts about him grew.

Revolt?

Does he want me to resist?

But what should I do?

If I do it, will it really be useful?

Is he also resisting becoming a family member with me?

But if that's the case, his attitude towards me just now doesn't make sense.
