Cooking bag.
With the cooking pack, he only needs to cook some simple white rice to deal with Chitose.
Just do it.
Fujii Itsuki ran to the frozen section to take a look and found that there were quite a variety of meal packs.
Curry beef, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, teriyaki chicken steak.
He randomly picked out ten meal packs to take home, so he could keep any leftovers.
Oh, by the way, I need to buy some rice.
There are also seasonings. The other day when the girl was making breakfast, she said, "It's really a hassle to have no seasonings."
If she "cooks" every day, it would be a problem if she came over one day and found that Jiuhua's house didn't have any seasonings, not even salt.
After buying various seasonings and cooking packs, Fujii Itsuki also bought some potato chips as snacks.
When he passed by the stationery area, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a shark cartoon keychain out of the corner of his eye.
Fujii Itsuki stopped and looked at the row of shark key chains hanging on the shelves.
He himself didn't know why he stopped.
Maybe I thought this cartoon keychain was cute, or maybe I was influenced by the fever-reducing patch I bought that day and remembered the shark element.
Do you want to buy it for her?
Fujii Itsuki thought about it and finally gave up the plan.
Money is a small matter, a keychain is not expensive, but he has no reason to give Jiuhuayue a gift.
As she said, the two of them have cleared their relationship and there will be no other relationship in the future.
If I suddenly gave her a keychain she liked, she would think I was a perverted uncle who had bad intentions towards her and wanted to conquer her.
That guy is really that sensitive.
So, Fujii Itsuki gave up the idea of buying the shark keychain, and walked out of the supermarket with two full plastic bags in his hands.
After walking for nearly twenty minutes in the snowy night, a man finally arrived at the door of Jiuhua's house.
I have never found this big house so pleasing to the eye.
He temporarily put down the two large plastic bags in his hands, walked to the watch with the words "Jiuhua" written on it, and prepared to take out the key to open the door.
Unexpectedly, in the late snow, the sound of a guitar suddenly came from the yard.
Fujii Itsuki thought he was hallucinating, but when he moved closer to the gap in the iron gate, he confirmed that the guitar sound was indeed coming from inside.
He did not open the door, but instead, with curiosity, he looked into the gap between the big iron doors and stared at the figure in the inner room.
It was Jiuhuayue. She came back at some point unknown.
She sat on a simple folding stool, propped up one knee, and placed the guitar, whose color blended with the warm lights in the room behind her, on her thigh.
She faced the snowman at the door, who always had a smiling face. She lowered her eyes, stroked the strings of the guitar as if she was comforting a baby, and hummed a beautiful voice:
My heart is full of haggardness, my eyes are trembling
I am alone in this world.
In the fading spring
Every year I can only feel the cold.
The singing and melody sound lyrical and beautiful just by listening to them, as if every time the girl plucks the strings, the notes sparkle in the darkness.
This song is very niche, and unfortunately, Fujii Itsuki happened to have heard this song before and knew its origin because of a former student of his.
The melody gradually becomes gentle.
Jiuhuayue was humming. She closed her eyes. The warm light in the room softly covered her long hair and surrounded her figure, outlining her fair and beautiful profile. The snow above her head glowed in the darkness. The snowflakes seemed to be driven by the chords of the guitar, dancing in the air along with her beautiful and gentle voice.
In such a late snow, the beautiful girl hummed a ballad, as if only her time was passing before her eyes, it was extremely dreamy.
I didn't expect this girl could play the guitar.
He did not choose to disturb her, but instead prepared to wait for Jiu Huayue to finish singing and go home before pushing the door open.
However, when he turned around, he kicked the plastic bag on the ground, and the plastic bag and the potato chips inside made a loud rustling sound.
".who?!"
The sudden questioning was full of vigilance, and the guitar and beautiful humming naturally came to an abrupt end.
"I."
Fujii Itsuki knew that she had discovered him, and had no choice but to take out the key and open the iron gate.
He pushed open the iron door and saw Jiuhuayue standing up. She was holding her guitar and looked like she wanted to escape back into the house. Fujii Itsuki signaled her to be at ease and not to be afraid.
"Uncle.?"
When Jiu Huayue saw that it was him, she put down her hands that were tightly holding the guitar, her purple eyes half closed, and she had an extremely unfriendly expression:
"Uncle, you were eavesdropping just now, right?"
"No."
Jiu Huayue's expression returned to the disgust she had when she first saw her, "Terrible."
Fujii Itsuki tried to ease the atmosphere, "I say, can you change the name of uncle? I'm really going to become an uncle if I hear you call me uncle every day."
"It was impossible before, and it's even more impossible now! Why did you eavesdrop?"
The air was inexplicably colder. Fujii Itsuki picked up the supermarket plastic bags on both sides and said, "I just came back from the supermarket."
"You mean you just came back, there was no eavesdropping, so it was a misunderstanding."
"That's it."
"You said the same thing last time, but there aren't so many coincidences in this world. Why did you come back just when I was about to go back?"
"I also want to know why I always encounter so many coincidences with you."
Fujii Itsuki tried to change the subject, "I bought some meal packs. They can be heated in the microwave and eaten. They taste pretty good. If you didn't eat anything tonight, do you want to eat something before going to bed?"
When the girl heard what he said, she subconsciously hugged her guitar tightly, lowered her head, and bit her lip, "I won't eat that stuff."
Fujii Itsuki picked up the supermarket plastic bag again and added, "It contains all kinds of seasonings and rice that I bought. I can't just buy these props as an excuse to eavesdrop on you playing the piano. By the way, you can really try the cooking bag, it's better than instant noodles."
"I told you I don't eat that kind of stuff—"
Jiu Huayue clenched her right fist tightly, held the guitar in her left hand, looked up and glared at him without saying a single word.
"."
This look.
The situation is not good.
Fujii Itsuki didn't know what he had done to anger her. Was he eavesdropping on her playing the guitar?
She wouldn't have such an expression just because she heard her playing the guitar.
This resolute look was almost as if the word "angry" was written in her eyes.
Or maybe she hates cooking bags.
He tried to ease the awkward atmosphere, stood up straight and said seriously:
"Also, the Kasuga Kage you just played and sang was pretty good. You played it very well and your voice was beautiful, too."
After saying this, Jiu Huayue's pupils shrank noticeably. She hugged the guitar in her arms tighter with her left hand and also hugged it with her right hand.
Fujii Itsuki noticed her changes.
This girl. Praising her for her good singing and playing, there is no need to act like this, right?
Is this, about to cry?
She shouldn't cry over such a small matter.
I complained like this in my mind, but when she didn't respond for a long time, I stayed with her and stood face to face with her in the snow for five minutes.
"first."
The girl lowered her head and hugged the guitar with both hands. Her left hand fingers clasped the guitar frets tightly, her fingertips turned pale, and her voice was small and trembling.
"what?"
"first."
"Is this the first time someone praised you for singing so beautifully? It's not that serious. Any student who can read the air a little bit will praise you like this, no matter whether you play well or not."
The girl suddenly raised her head, her expression determined, her eyes sparkling, "I mean, I've never sung for anyone before! You're the first audience!!"
The situation seems to be getting worse.
"Eavesdropping doesn't count."
"I overheard it! It's obviously not for you! I haven't practiced for this for so long!"
Jiuhuayue suppressed her voice and spoke in a low voice. This sentence probably touched some unknown secret in her heart. After Fujii Itsuki praised her, tears welled up in her eyes.
Oops.
I really cried.
Fujii Itsuki hates seeing girls cry.
Because it is really troublesome to deal with.
It seemed that I had accidentally destroyed a long-awaited vision in this child's heart.
She attached so much importance to the first audience, probably because of some very important person.
"Nine flowers——"
Fujii Itsuki wanted to apologize to her and comfort her, but she wiped her tears, turned around, said nothing, and ran back into the house crying, leaving her guitar in the snow next to the stool and the snowman.
What is this?
Fujii Itsuki shook her head, walked forward and picked up her guitar covered in snow.
