The girl has no family, no friends, and no classmates here.
This snowman could only be made by her for herself.
That is to say - she welcomes herself home every day
Fujii Itsuki was silent.
He thought of someone.
A person who works as a teacher in Tokyo, who comes home exhausted at night and often says "I'm back" to the empty house.
That person understood this feeling very well.
The reason why I often say that sentence is just that I am looking forward to it. I am looking forward to someone responding to me one day when I return home exhausted. I am looking forward to someone at home silently waiting for me to come home and leaving a light on for me.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"."
Silence.
"You came home in the snow late at night, without anything on your hands, and your phone was out of battery. You must have missed your meal. Are you hungry?"
"He is indeed a perverted uncle. He has only lived in my house for one day, and he is already thinking of doing something bad to me and sleeping with me." The girl muttered softly.
"You are so young, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Why else would you care about me so abruptly?" Jiu Huayue's expression turned back to disgust. "I understand what you're thinking, uncle. You've never had a girlfriend, so you want to take advantage of her. I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible, because no matter what the situation is, I will never accept a perverted uncle like you."
"Dead?"
"I won't let you sleep even if I die!"
How insecure is this child? He has all kinds of crazy thoughts all day long.
Fujii Itsuki admitted that she was indeed stunningly beautiful.
But she was not Fujii Itsuki's type. She was only sixteen, too young, a little kid whose hair had not even fully grown.
"You're already dead, it's not up to you."
Jiu Huayue was stunned for a moment, then glared at him, "You - pervert!"
Fujii Itsuki sighed, "It was just a joke, but you really took it seriously. I cared about whether you had eaten or not because of the snowman you built."
".What's wrong?"
"It welcomed me when I first came here, and it welcomed me home this afternoon, too. So I like it very much, and it was you who made it. So, does this count as a favor from you?"
"Your reason is too far-fetched!" Jiu Huayue didn't believe it at all.
Fujii Itsuki had no intention of explaining, "It is what it is, and I like it very much."
"You just want to sleep with me!"
"Okay, I just want to sleep with you. I care about you so that you, a suicidal girl, can take the opportunity to fall in love with me, and then I can sleep with you legitimately. After all, you are a young girl who is ten years younger than me. You are tall, have long legs, a nice butt, and are very beautiful. Which man wouldn't love you?"
"Sure enough..." Jiuhuayue took two steps back.
Fujii was too lazy to argue with this girl. "Alright, alright, aren't you cold standing outside talking all the time? Go inside first, forget about what happened today for now, be happy, and have a meal first. What's with that look in your eyes?"
*
"Do you want a bento? I bought a lot."
"No, thanks."
"You hungry?"
".I ate before returning home."
"When I first came in, I asked you if you had eaten. Why didn't you say anything back?"
".There is no need to refute, and I will answer all your questions."
This girl is too defensive.
Fujii Itsuki didn't care. Since she didn't want it, he could just keep it for himself.
Fujii Itsuki has the habit of reading at night.
This caused him to eat a little slowly, and because Jiuhuayue came home too late, he was delayed and went to bed at one o'clock.
At 2:30, I was half asleep and half awake. I got up to go to the bathroom, put on my slippers and left the room.
Unexpectedly, I ran into Jiu Huayue who was tossing around in the open kitchen.
Fujii Itsuki crossed his arms over his chest and watched the girl looking for food with interest in the light of the outdoor street lamp.
She searched the cupboard, but nothing was there.
She rummaged through the refrigerator and found only her lunch box. She subconsciously reached out her hand but ultimately chose not to take it.
Seeing this, Fujii Itsuki reached out and knocked on the dining table beside him, scaring the girl in front of him so much that she shuddered.
"Getting up in the middle of the night to steal things?"
"Who! Who stole it? I didn't take your lunch box."
"You haven't confessed yet."
Fujii Itsuki showed no mercy to her and exposed her directly:
"hungry?"
".No. No, not hungry."
"If you're not hungry, why are you getting up in the middle of the night?"
"Uncle, you don't get up in the middle of the night, do you?"
"I'm going to the bathroom."
".Me too."
Fujii Itsuki didn't say anything, but pointed to where she was.
What I mean is that you went to the toilet and came to the kitchen.
The deliberately cold expression on the eldest lady's face could no longer be maintained.
"I, this is."
"If you're hungry, just tell me. I have bento and instant noodles."
".Not hungry."
"Are you worried that eating my food will be bad?"
"I ate something—"
Before she could finish her sentence, her stomach growled.
Jiu Huayue was now completely embarrassed.
Fujii Itsuki knew that this girl was very proud and was not in a good mood today, so he continued, "It's because you ate too little last time, so you were hungry in the middle of the night."
"Ah? Hmm." Jiuhuayue didn't react for a moment why he said that.
"How long ago did you eat? Even if you ate very little at noon, you wouldn't be this hungry."
".Nine o'clock in the morning." The girl's voice became much softer.
"No wonder, then you sit down for a while."
"what?"
"What? Isn't it good to get you something to eat?"
Fujii Itsuki turned on the light in the living room, went back to his room, took out the instant noodles, and took out the lunch box from the refrigerator.
Heat the bento in the microwave.
I boiled some hot water and put the ingredients packet away for her, and told her that if the lunch box was not enough, she could just pour some hot water and eat the instant noodles.
During this time, Jiu Huayue was watching him prepare from behind. When the two items were placed in front of her, she looked at the two foods in silence.
"Not hungry yet?"
"."
Fujii Itsuki knew that she was resisting him, so he added, "It's just instant noodles and bento. Nothing will happen if you eat them. I didn't put any drugs in them."
".Didn't you say you wanted to sleep with me? Maybe there was drug in it."
"That was a joke."
"Please respect yourself," Jiu Huayue said seriously, "No one in Huihui would joke like this!"
"I was trying to save you at the station. You were the first one to say those words just now. I was just following your words and making a joke."
"Sorry! I'm not that familiar with you. What I said was my reasonable guess about you. And your words are no different from hooliganism to me. Even if you are really joking, I have reason to believe that this is something that may happen in the future."
Jiuhuayue's attitude was both cold and serious.
This girl appears to be cold as ice, but she is actually very sensitive and timid.
The relationship between her and me is almost like that between strangers.
It's really inappropriate to joke like that.
Even a joke that went along with what she was saying would provoke her inner resistance and disgust.
Realizing this, Fujii Itsuki became more serious, cleared his throat and said:
"Well, I understand. I'm sorry. Since you care so much about those words, I won't joke with you like this again in the future."
Fujii Itsuki's sudden apology caught Jiuhuayue off guard, and she was two or three seconds late in reacting.
".No. It's okay. Thank you for apologizing."
"I am, thank you for your forgiveness."
They were still confronting each other one second ago, and the next second they accepted each other's words as if they had reconciled.
This made Jiuhuayue seem very embarrassed, but Fujii Itsuki didn't think it was a big deal.
Before becoming a teacher, humbly apologizing to students or juniors is one of the compulsory courses.
