She glanced over from the corner of her eye.
The azure pupils are both fierce and soft, like a cat baring its teeth at you fiercely, warning you with its eyes - no way out! If you dare to make a sound, I will explode with you!
I didn't say anything.
But to be honest, it doesn’t matter if you are not good at cooking. There are plenty of people who pass with low scores. I know you may be a little anxious, but no matter how anxious you are, you can't waste food, right?
The pear in her palm was pulled away by the girl. Reina lowered her head. The contact between the blade and the flesh was not as smooth as she had imagined. The moment she applied a little force, the tip of the knife slid towards her fingers.
There was a small scratch on the skin and bright red blood came out.
"..."
She was disqualified from carrying a knife.
Her little face flushed red, but she still pretended to be calm.
Asakura Reina sat on the bench uncomfortably, her hands pressing her thighs. Uesugi Nobu was in a hurry to get a band-aid but was stopped by her. Her magic was healing, so what was the point of just a cut? Even the ribs were not broken, so why was she in such a hurry?
"Why are you worried about this? It doesn't matter, just focus on your work."
Uesugi Nobuyuki had his back to Rena Asakura and was washing the fruit knife under the faucet. When he heard Rena Asakura's words as a senior, he was suddenly stunned.
"Have you ever been injured so badly before?" He slowed down the process of washing the knife.
"It's normal to get injured in battle. It hurts a lot at first. I'm fine now. You see, my magic is at least healing. I can recover quickly from injuries..."
Asakura Reina curled the corners of her lips, and Rocco flew over to accompany her in reminiscing about the past.
Uesugi Nobuyuki picked up the knife. His movements were much more skillful than the girl's. He cut the pear in half, then cut each half in half. With one light move of the knife, he removed the core in the middle, and then began to cut it into evenly thick pieces by feel.
Very pretty.
The knife skills are beautiful and he is a nice person too.
The kitchen window can be opened to let in light. The floor tiles are a little dirty, and there are some stains on the floor from washing the fruit just now.
This guy was wearing a T-shirt and a jacket, and loose casual pants. His dark black hair showed a little light brown in the bright sunlight and fell naturally in front of his forehead. A few strands of hair trembled slightly with the click of a button.
Isn’t this a pretty good image?
Pure and clean boys are definitely popular in high school. Clean doesn’t mean your clothes are clean, but your face should be clean and your hairstyle should look good, and your temperament should not be vulgar. Then girls will naturally like you.
The sunlight outlined a soft contour on his profile, without the slightest hint of impetuousness. Asakura Rena stared at him, and the more she looked, the more comfortable she felt. It was a kind of warm afternoon feeling which was quite nice.
"You said it so casually, but it wasn't like that when you covered your hands and cried your eyes out, meow."
"Who's crying loudly?"
"Whoever tries to save someone will cry. You even have to act cool in front of the girl. Even if you save her, she won't remember you..."
At first Asakura Rena was just talking, but she soon realized that something was wrong. Uesugi Shin cut the pears and put them on the plate, then stared at her seriously, as if she was telling a story and he was listening attentively.
"W-What? What does that look mean?"
Uesugi Nobunaga sighed and was about to speak when he suddenly realized that Reina was not Chiharu. He paused for a moment and his face suddenly became resolute.
"Can I say something cool?" There was an unshakable sense of righteousness on his frank face, and even his eyes seemed firm and deep.
Asakura Reina held her chin with both hands, stared at him, and asked tentatively: "Are you going to say something that will make me sick?"
Uesugi Nobuyuki draws his sword!
The void gestured twice, and he said: "I need to stack armor first. If necessary, I can become a feminist, but from the education I have received personally... it is a pity for girls to get hurt."
"…What disgusting words are these?" Rena Asakura shook her shoulders as if she were in disgust.
"This is a very feudal and chauvinistic argument, but it can be summed up in one sentence: I'm going to give you a motivational buff so you don't get hurt again."
Uesugi Nobuyuki walked to Rena's side and asked the girl to make room for the trash can next to her. He poured all the pear peels into the trash can, then took out the bananas from the bag and broke them out one by one.
"I told you this before!"
"Hey, I've been discovered."
"You dare to criticize me with your frequency of injuries?"
"What are you talking about?" Uesugi Nobu finally found an opportunity to show off and said something nice: "I got hurt so that others wouldn't get hurt again. If I join you and you guys keep getting hurt, then wouldn't I have joined in vain?"
Reina was really frightened by him.
Great success, great success!
Uesugi Shin opened the banana package and stuffed a few bananas into her hands. "You know how to peel bananas, right? Let's feel a sense of participation."
"You have to cut bananas too? Do you have time?"
Unexpectedly, Uesugi Nobu actually nodded and said, "Yes, I'm free. It's just a matter of a few cuts anyway, so what if I just cut it?"
Uesugi Nobu took the initiative and said, "It will be convenient for the old man to eat if we send some down later. Let's be quick. I saw that he was quite serious just now. He might really be waiting for me to bring the food down. I will cut it for him in advance to please him."
"Oh, oh." The fruit was divided into two plates. Uesugi Nobuyuki took one plate to the living room downstairs to give it to the old man. Asakura Rena put a toothpick on it and took it to the second floor. Asakura Nozomi was sitting in front of the computer and chatting passionately. She asked casually, and the boy replied, "I'm lucky this time. Sister, you and your brother-in-law eat first." She sat down at the table, and then she felt vaguely that something seemed to be wrong.
Yeah, what's wrong?
Uesugi Nobu...
Asakura Reina held her chin up in thought, then revealed an expression as if she had seen a ghost.
This is my home! That's my grandpa!
How did it turn out that he went to accompany my grandfather?
Asakura Rena suddenly stood up while curling her hair with her fingers. Before Asakura Nozomi could ask what happened, she turned around and saw her elder sister's hurried back.
Going to find your brother-in-law?
Rena Asakura tiptoed over like a cat and found Uesugi Nobuto in the living room. The door was still half open. She walked lightly and leaned against the wall silently, but she could hear the movements in the living room.
“I live in the city now.”
"I have a little sister at home who takes care of me. She's very capable, baby."
There was grandma's voice. She should have been taking a nap, but she must have been woken up by grandpa.
"I met Reina at school, it was great..."
"I'm a sophomore in high school, one grade higher than Reina."
"I met him outside of school. Yeah, I've known him for more than half a month."
"Your parents..."
Asakura Reina suddenly felt her heart stop beating. No, no, no! Don't ask this!
After hearing the reply, the old man's kind voice stopped abruptly, and then there was a burst of comforting voices, but the young man's clear voice was also very clear in it.
"Ah, it's okay, I'm used to it. Don't apologize. Come, have some fruit."
"Reina and I are friends. We just happened to be going back to Kawayama together this time. Hehe, it won't be boring to have a fellow villager to chat with on the way."
Reina Asakura squatted outside the living room, gradually hugged her knees with her hands, buried her chin in her knees, and lowered her eyes.
do not know why,
Rena Asakura suddenly felt fortunate.
Fortunately, her parents are not around, and only her grandparents are left at home.
It's a contradiction. Grandpa likes to drink. When she was a child, he would quarrel over face every time he got drunk. But a few years ago, he went to a nearby hospital for a diagnosis of illness and could no longer drink. Grandma, who was once bullied, is now the one who keeps a close eye on Grandpa. When the old couple got together, Grandpa seemed to be paying off his previous anger and turned to listening to Grandma's nagging every day.
Occasionally when she went home to visit and heard her grandmother's disdain, she would subconsciously feel nervous, fearing that the two old people would quarrel again. But her grandfather had no opinion at all. He still let his wife nag him, did farm work and housework, and even listened to his wife. The two old people would get together and often watch TV and radio.
She thought grandma should be the one who hated grandpa the most, but no, when grandpa was in the hospital, grandma was the one who worried about him the most.
Every time she felt that human life was so complicated and contradictory.
A young and successful person who is full of vigor and vitality will be devastated by a setback, and a person who was once anxious and vain will suddenly become tolerant and peaceful one day in the future. She can't figure these things out, and she feels inexplicably escaping from the concept of family. She feels that she may be the kind of person whose heart is sealed with cement. After experiencing so many things, her expectations for family and love may have been suppressed by fatigue and shadow. How can she still have the mind to fall in love?
Of course she knew that she was feeling awkward, but her awkwardness would eventually end, maybe on the day when Uesugi Nobumasa found a girlfriend, or maybe on the day when Uesugi Nobumasa married someone. If time didn't give her a little more courtesy, it might as well drag on until she was in her fifties, sixties, seventies or eighties.
Anyway, she is drawing a story. She doesn't know when the story will be finished, but she should be able to let it go after it's finished.
But this unfaithful man is about to jump out again...
Chatting, chatting, still chatting with my family.
What to talk about?
After we finish chatting, let’s go and accompany Qianqing tonight?
"You two elders, eat slowly first. I'll go upstairs to accompany Reina and Nozomi."
The sunshine is just right and the breeze is not dry.
Through the half-open window, light shines on the wooden stairs.
As soon as Uesugi Nobuyuki walked out of the living room, he saw Rena Asakura squatting on the floor. When the girl heard the footsteps, her eyes slowly focused on his face. This scene was shocking. A girl just squatted there with a sad look on her face, looking at you from the bottom up with her face sideways, making you feel uneasy, as if you owed her something.
He was stunned for a moment, then quickly extended his hand to Reina. This time Reina did not refuse, and she took his hand and got up from the ground.
"Asakura."
"Just call me Reina." Reina Asakura said suddenly.
She patted the hem of her skirt and lowered her head and said, "Are you always excluding me? You call Aihua by her name, but you always call me Asakura Asakura. Didn't you call me that just now in there quite smoothly? Just keep calling me that."
Reina Asakura, you are such a coward.
She remembered a passage in Anna Karenina, which she had read in junior high school.
【He walked over.】
[As if facing the sun, I dare not look at her any longer,]
But it is also like facing the sun.
Even if you don't look at her, you can still see her.
Accompanied by some sad piano music, it creates a sentimental atmosphere.
When Rena Asakura first read the book, she didn't understand the meaning of it, but when she read it again, she became one of the characters in the book.
She really felt quite wretched. She was sixteen years old this year. She bumped into this silly boy when she was four years old and became sensible. It was only two years since they separated when she was six years old. The following ten years were all unrequited love. She spent six years chasing the white moonlight in her heart, all the way to Dongxue City, but was rejected by this man. She thought about him day and night for six years, but he had completely forgotten about her in the end. She was so free.
Another three years passed, and this year was the fourth year. She had spent so much time convincing herself to just throw this unfaithful man away, but her subconscious mind still compared him to the sun. He had only illuminated her for two years, but it took her ten years to repay him. Even after ten years, she had not been able to walk out of that light.
I really can’t stand this!
"Let's go."
The girl pushed him actively. He was walking in front and the girl was walking behind. He wanted to look back and let her see what was going on, but Rena Asakura did not give him the chance, and the stairs were too narrow.
"What were you talking about just now?"
"The old man is all alone and wants to spend more time talking to the children."
When they reached the corridor on the second floor, Rena Asakura looked out the window. The afternoon sun made people feel warm. She went into the house with Uesugi Nobuyuki and took out her cell phone, only to find that it was already around three or four in the afternoon. At this time... Rena Asakura's heart immediately tightened.
"for you."
When I looked up, it was Uesugi Nobuyuki holding a fruit plate and stringing together four pineapples on a long bamboo stick. With a wave of his hand, he came up with a bunch of bananas, but the bananas were limp, and when they were strung together, they looked like caterpillars. Uesugi Nobuyuki was holding this unnecessary bunch of bananas and he started laughing as he looked at them.
Damn, I'm such a retard.
Look at the look in Reina's eyes, isn't she laughing at him?
It is embarrassing for the brothers.
Uesugi Shin sighed, and at this moment he felt a little itchy in his heart. He wanted to take a picture of this scene, and then accidentally leak the picture to the good sons of the Whitebeard Pirates to tell them about how I was dragged by three beautiful girls with different styles to work as a bodyguard at the weekend.
I will write it like this then - At 2024pm on September 9, 27, my loli schoolmate and I were cutting fruit skewers at her house. My schoolmate accidentally cut her hand, and it hurt so much that I blew on her ~ It hurt so much that it blew away ~~
It would have been better to include Reina's hand in the picture, but unfortunately the girl was wearing a long-sleeved sweatshirt. If she had exposed her white and tender wrist and included his own hand in the photo, it would have surely caused the Whitebeard Pirates' brothers to howl in defense in the group chat.
I want to see you guys trying to stuff my mouth with a ball but I can’t do anything to you guys, hehehehe!!
Miscellaneous fish~miscellaneous fish~
"Where did you get the bamboo sticks?"
"I got it from grandpa. It's in the cupboard, but I didn't find any sour plum powder at your house. It would taste better if I sprinkled some on it."
Reina Asakura took a bite of a piece; it was sweet, juicy and slightly sour.
Somehow, seeing that Uesugi Nobu was still holding the bamboo sticks like a child and trying to continue stringing the fruit, she stretched out the fruit skewer in front of Uesugi Nobu. Such a natural and smooth movement startled the two of them. Uesugi Nobu was shocked, and she herself was also stunned in place, with her hands frozen in the air.
The corners of Asakura Reina's mouth trembled, and she forced herself to remain calm and said, "You, you, you eat some first, I think it tastes okay."
