Chapter 10: Chitose is coming
Fujii Itsuki discovered that the intercom system also had a video function. After he turned it on, he saw through the small LED screen of the intercom system that the little girl Chitose was holding something in her hand and standing at the door of Jiuhua's house.
"Brother Shu, can I come in?"
Chitose Yang Kui moved her face closer to the camera, and her eyes became much bigger on the screen.
Why is Chitose here?
You’re here so early.
".Okay, I'll open the iron gate for you, Chitose, please come in first and wait for me at the door."
Fujii Itsuki put out the cigarette he had just lit, went back to his room and put on a coat to make himself look more serious, and then went to the main door.
The image of Chitose holding a canvas bag in both hands came into view, and she smiled.
"Good morning, Brother Shu~"
Fujii Itsuki felt strange and looked Chitose up and down, and found that she seemed much prettier than yesterday, "Chitose, why are you here? Are you looking for Jiuhuayue?"
"No, I'm here to look for Brother Shu. Brother Shu has moved into a new home, so I wanted to come and visit him," Yang Kui Chitose said, smiling as she lifted up the two canvas bags in her hands and handed them out. "Inside are the snow dream daifuku I made, the potatoes and cabbages I planted myself, and a cotton coat and pants."
"Cotton coat?"
"I bought it on the way here. Brother Shu just came back from Tokyo, so he definitely doesn't have anything suitable to change into. Hokkaido is much colder than Tokyo."
Fujii Itsuki took it and looked inside.
There is not only the snow dream daifuku made by Chitose, but also foods like sushi, eggs, and various fresh vegetables and fruits.
The potatoes are washed very clean and the cabbage is wrapped in plastic. It's quite delicate.
As for the cotton-padded jacket, etc., why is the brand still N.HOOLYWOOD?
This brand of cotton-padded coat costs at least 10 yen.
Add in other brands of trousers and other inner wear, I'm afraid it's equivalent to an ordinary person's monthly salary.
"Girl, this is too expensive!"
"It's okay, Brother Shu. This is the money I saved myself." Yang Kui Chitose stuffed the thing into his hand again, as if nothing had happened.
"This is even harder for me to accept! No way."
"Brother Shu, take it quickly!"
Seeing that he refused repeatedly, Yang Kui Chitose glared at him and asked him to accept it in a cute and commanding tone, "Anyway, if Brother Shu doesn't accept it, I won't return the clothes. This is the clothes I bought for Brother Shu. If you don't want it, I will just throw it away."
"."
"That's right." Yang Kui Chitose smiled.
Fujii Itsuki sighed and accepted the gift she brought. "Qiu Sui, you misunderstood. I'm just staying here for a few days."
"Is that so? I thought Brother Shu would live here for a long time," Yang Kui Chitose said, still a little sad. "I originally said that Brother Shu had no place to live, so he could stay at my house. Father would definitely not mind. Unfortunately, there are too many guests."
"What's so sad about this? Come in first. Your hair is covered with snow. It's cold outside."
"Ah."
The two then went into the house.
Chitose kept looking left and right at the magnificent dome in the lobby, exclaiming, "What a big room!"
Of course not. Jiuhua’s house, a big businessman’s house, has interior carvings in luxurious Baroque style.
Looking back, Qiansui saw many pieces of furniture covered with white cloth.
"It just feels like... there's no breath of life."
The lobby on the first floor connects to the living room and the open kitchen. Fujii Itsuki put down the canvas bag brought by Chitose in the living room.
"That child doesn't like cleaning, and he just returned to Otaru. Living alone in such a big house, naturally there is no atmosphere of life."
Chitose looked at it and found the unopened instant noodles on the table, frowning:
"Brother Shu—you're eating instant noodles again and you smell like cigarettes!"
"For breakfast, just make do with what you have. Instant noodles are simple and suitable."
"No way!"
"Why not?"
"I remember telling Brother Shu many times before that instant noodles are not nutritionally balanced. They contain a lot of sodium, fat, and additives! Eating too much is unhealthy. It's better to cook it yourself."
How could Fujii Itsuki not understand?
But I am busy all day and often have to go home to work overtime to write lesson plans. I don’t have the time or energy to do it.
Besides, it’s too troublesome for him, a single man, to cook.
Then, she saw two empty cup noodles in the trash can and became even angrier. "Brother Shu must have eaten instant noodles last night, too! Two empty cups. Obviously, Brother Shu doesn't have much luggage and has a lot of time."
"."
"Why aren't you cooking?"
"this."
The girl sighed, "I see, Brother Shu must think cooking is troublesome again, right?"
After saying that, Chitose started rummaging through the refrigerator without paying attention to Fujii Itsuki's answer.
"Chitose?"
When Chitose Yangkui found that there were not many ingredients in the refrigerator, she took out eggs and potatoes from the canvas bag she had just brought.
"You're not going to make breakfast?"
"Of course, it's unbearable to see Brother Shu eating instant noodles every day. I guess he did this often in Tokyo." Yang Kui Chitose checked the pots and pans in the kitchen again, took them out and washed them with hot water.
Fujii Itsuki couldn't hold back his face anymore
He was 26 years old, but was taken care of by a 16-year-old girl, who had to give him clothes and cook for him.
As an adult, where does his identity as a brother fit in?
Fujii Itsuki wanted to go over to help, but Chitose persuaded him back, saying that "Since Brother Itsuki accepted the gift, he owed her a favor, so he has to be obedient. He should just sit and rest by himself."
Fujii Itsuki didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
After returning home after four years, I didn’t expect that Qiansui still had the demeanor of the head of the family.
I guess it was the mobility he honed while working as a waiter in a hot spring hotel.
He now understood why some parents couldn't sit still when they saw their children busy preparing meals.
It's so embarrassing.
It's really outrageous that an adult needs to be taken care of by a sixteen-year-old girl.
Qiansui was not familiar with the kitchen utensils in this large villa, and he fumbled around as he checked.
These are all modern and improved gadgets, and we soon became busy.
Most likely the noise downstairs was heard upstairs, so Jiu Huayue came downstairs in formal attire.
The first thing that caught my eye was the long legs, then the white cotton socks on the calves, the white skirt, the red shawl, and finally the white beret.
Jiu Huayue went downstairs and saw a girl of similar age in the kitchen preparing breakfast. She was stunned.
She remembered that this seemed to be her home, right?
So she immediately turned her eyes to Fujii Itsuki who was sitting nearby to rest.
"Chitose is my sister." This was the only explanation Fujii Itsuki could give.
"Oh," Jiuhuayue looked at Yang Kui Chitose, "She saw you returned to Otaru, so she came to make breakfast for you?"
"almost."
“The relationship is pretty good.”
While the two were talking, Yang Kui Chitose put down what she was doing and faced Jiuhuayue who came downstairs to the living room.
"Good morning, Jiuhua-san." She smiled.
"Classmate?" Jiu Huayue read a hint of subtle hostility on her smiling face, although the feeling was fleeting.
"Kuka-san probably doesn't know me. I'm Chitose Hinano from Class B. We're from the same school."
"Hawaii Chitose. I seem to have heard of you. But isn't your last name Fujii?"
"I live in my adoptive father's house. Brother Shu picked me up when I was ten years old. We grew up together in an orphanage and have been very good friends since we were young." Yang Kui Chitose used two "we"s in a row.
"That's it"
"My brother is staying at Jiuhua's house. I'd like to trouble you to take care of him these days."
Qiansui finished speaking and bowed.
It would be fine if there is no comparison, but after comparison, Jiu Huayue is really tall. She is more than half a head taller than Qiansui, and I'm afraid she is over 1.74 meters tall.
The legs are really long too.
Jiuhuayue: ".There is no need to be so serious, and there is no need to use honorifics."
Yang Kui Chitose smiled beautifully, "How about Jiuhua-san come have breakfast together?"
".That's not necessary."
"I feel bad for temporarily borrowing the kitchen at Jiuhua's house today."
"That's fine. Any kitchen will do."
"Has Jiuhua-san always lived here alone?"
“It’s been like this since I moved here.”
The two met and chatted, but the conversation was not very meaningful.
Basically polite conversation between classmates and peers.
It can be seen that they are not familiar with each other.
