He looked at the guitar in his arms, then looked at the small stool in front of him and the snowman facing the stool.
The snowman still waved the broken branches, and with a smile, it always greeted those who looked at it.
Stool, snowman, guitar.
For some reason, the orange light from the entrance shone over. He saw an emotion called loneliness in these three small objects.
What on earth did this girl go through?

Fujii Itsuki took off his glasses, picked up the mobile phone beside the bed, placed it on the book, and checked the message he had just received.
[Hey, Brother Tree, I'm done! ! ]
"Thank you for your hard work." Fujii Itsuki finished typing and clicked send. The timestamp just showed 22:00.
[Brother Shu~ You know what I am going to say, right~~]
He knew it very well, so he sent her two photos taken during dinner.
Wait two minutes.
A new message from "Chitose Yang Aoi" pops up.
[Hey, Brother Shu, you can also make teriyaki beef.]
Fujii Itsuki couldn't help but burst out laughing.
This girl is still trying to deceive me with her little tricks, she is just reaching her limit.
"Look carefully, this is chicken I made, teriyaki chicken steak."
New messages pop up quickly.
[Oh. I was mistaken. I was wondering why it didn’t look like beef. Brother Shu is amazing. He cooked three dishes tonight!]
"I'm so tired." Fujii Itsuki grabbed the potato chips beside him and poured them into his mouth. While eating, he typed a reply with one hand.
[Thank you for your hard work! I also really want to eat the food made by Brother Shu. I don’t know how long it has been since I last ate it.]
"Come over when you're free, I can cook for you."
[That's great! I really want to go to Brother Shu's place soon, but it looks like Brother Shu will have dinner alone tonight?]
Fujii Itsuki flipped through the photos he had posted, and there was indeed only one bowl in them.
"That's it."
[The food that Shu Gege cooked must be delicious. It’s such a pity for Jiuhua. Anyway, if Shu Gege invites me, I will definitely eat it! I still remember Shu Ge said he would cook for me. I’m looking forward to it~~]
Speaking of Jiuhua, Fujii Itsuki recalled what happened in the small courtyard tonight.
"Chitose, I want to ask you a question."
[Brother Tree, please speak.]
"Before I ask you, I have another question. Have you ever seen... um, I remember it was an animation called Mygo?"
[Oh! I know, I know! Brother Shu also knows about the animation that everyone was watching not long ago?]
"When I was in Tokyo, one of my students liked to watch it. When I passed by the club building, I happened to hear a song she played and sang. I thought it was very nice, so I asked her if it was a song she wrote herself. She shook her head and then told me the source."
[I see, that's what I was wondering, why would Shu-ge go to watch anime, when he doesn't even play games. So what's Shu-ge's problem?]
"The question is simple. What does the theme song of Kasuga Shadow express?"
[I see, I see. Brother Shu is curious about this. From my perspective when I watched it with my classmates before, it seems to be expressing a wonderful experience from the past.]
"Good experiences in the past?"
[Yeah, I mean from the plot point of view, the lyrics are not about these. The lyrics are about a weak and lonely person who met a very good friend, and then went hand in hand, and made a promise to be together forever. I also like this song very much. The reason why I say it is the good old days is that according to the plot of the animation, this song is the song of the former band, and now that band has disbanded.]
After reading Chitose's words, Fujii Itsuki tried to apply the meaning of the song to Jiuhuayue.
You can tell that she likes this song very much and she is very devoted when playing and singing.
If the person described in the lyrics of this song can refer to her - a lonely person, then the person she is talking about is most likely her particularly important friend, most likely her boyfriend who she was forced to separate from when she left Tokyo.
This represents her beauty and nostalgia for the past.
She practiced guitar and this song so that she could give it to that person the next time she met him.
And he was the uncle who accidentally entered her little world.
I was not beautiful to her, but I occupied the most beautiful place in her heart.
The first time that she wanted to give to her young boyfriend was given to an old man like her.
When I think about it this way, it is really a serious sin.
No wonder she broke down in tears.
"Understood, thank you Chitose."
Fujii Itsuki understood what to do.
[Hehe, as long as I can help Brother Shu, why did Brother Shu suddenly ask this?]
[Brother Tree?]
[Brother Tree?!]
Yang Kui Chitose, who was curled up in bed, saw that all three of her messages had fallen into the sea and were still marked as unread. She pouted her face in dissatisfaction and muttered softly:
"It's the same again. He always disappears suddenly."
The girl tossed and turned in her bed, and seeing that there was still no reply, she turned off her phone. She stuck her head out from under the quilt, listened to the sound of wind and snow outside, and stared at the old-fashioned beams above her head.
"Haruhi Ying, why did Brother Shu suddenly ask about this song?"
The girl closed her eyes and thought about it in her mind.
She seemed to have thought of something and her face darkened.
"It can't be because of that Jiuhua guy."
Her sense of crisis suddenly intensified.
No, that is definitely a very cunning fox. It always contacts my tree brother inexplicably when I am busy in the hot spring shop. I must go and confirm what is going on tomorrow.
Chapter 24 Thank you
[Good morning, everyone. Today is December 12, Monday, and it is 10:6 Tokyo time. Otaru had its fourth large-scale snowfall of the year yesterday. The weather was relatively cold during the day, with heavy snowfall. The highest temperature remained around 30 degrees, and the lowest temperature may drop to around -0 degrees. In general, today's weather conditions are not very good, but it is worth going out to see the snow. Citizens and tourists are advised to take warm measures when going out, and be careful of snow and ice on the road.]
The hot steam rose up, Fujii Itsuki opened the lid of the pot, scooped some radish soup with a spoon and put it to his mouth.
"Perfect."
The radish soup was served in a porcelain bowl that had been cleaned in advance, and then brought to the table, where it was placed flush with the other four dishes.
Fujii Itsuki clapped his hands, looked at the dishes on the table, and nodded.
It seems that I am still very suitable for cooking.
He took out his phone and checked the time. OK, now he just had to wait -
Looks like there's no need to wait.
The girl just came downstairs.
When Fujii Itsuki saw Jiuhuayue wearing shark pajamas and rubbing her sleepy eyes with her right hand, he went to the stairs to wait for her and smiled.
"just got up?"
"Ah, ah?! Why are you waiting here, perverted uncle?"
Jiu Huayue, who had come to her senses, turned around and went upstairs again when she saw his smile.
"Don't run yet!"
When Jiuhuayue was trying to escape back to the second floor, Fujii Itsuki grabbed her wrist. Her wrist was quite slender, and he could feel her fragility just by pinching it.
"What are you going to do?!" Jiuhuayue immediately widened her eyes and was no longer sleepy.
"Come with me first."
"No, no!"
"What are you afraid of? Just follow me."
“You—! No, don’t!”
She didn't expect that this perverted uncle would dare to touch her only a few days after moving in. He might even go a step further after a while, sneaking into her room, stealing her clothes, or even breaking in when she was taking a shower.
"You, please let me go."
During the struggle, she bit his arm with her teeth.
He is quite strong, although much weaker than Qiansui.
"Quiet!" Fujii Itsuki frowned and used the tone of his former teacher.
Jiu Huayue was frightened by his shouting and was stunned. She dared not move and obediently let him hold her wrist and drag her to the living room.
"Okay, sit down."
The girl's heart was dead, and she sat down with dull eyes.
"Cough cough."
Fujii Itsuki stood opposite her, faced the girl who lowered her head, and cleared his throat.
The air was silent for a few seconds.
"I am so sorry!"
"Eh?"
"I am so sorry."
Then, Jiuhuayue, who smelled the aroma of food, reacted. She raised her head and saw Fujii Itsuki, who lowered his head slightly, across the table full of food.
