"Why do you think so?"
"Because when mom left, she definitely told you to pay attention to me. Then when you came to me, you definitely tried to persuade me to go back, but you didn't say it."
"Jiuhua, I hate trouble the most."
"So what?" Jiu Huayue tilted her head slightly and looked at him sideways.
"I know you're stubborn, so I don't bother to waste my energy trying to persuade you to go back. This is not something I'm responsible for."
Jiuhuayue smiled beautifully, "As expected! Uncle, you are also my ally."
".? What kind of ally am I?"
"You promised mom to keep an eye on me, but you won't tell me to go back. You definitely don't care about keeping an eye on me. If you're not an ally, then what are you?"
This girl, is she going crazy from loneliness? Didn’t she hate herself before?
Jiu Huayue put away her smile and lowered her head to look at the potato chip bag, "Mom must have told you that I was rebellious and disobedient."
"What are the facts?"
Jiu Huayue squeezed the bag of potato chips again. "The truth is, it is indeed like this now. Anyway, I have figured it out now. I will not listen to her and go back to Tokyo."
Fujii Itsuki looked at the girl's beautiful profile and said:
"I'm not trying to comfort you, but I feel like your mother never really understood you."
Jiu Huayue was stunned and turned to him, "Why would you say that, uncle?"
"When your mother was leaving, I described you as a 'kind-hearted child', but your mother was very surprised by my evaluation and denied it."
"What did my mother say about me?"
"You want to listen?"
"Uncle, go ahead."
"'What a surprise; she has never been very kind in the family'—that was the general answer."
Jiuhuayue pinched the potato chips again: "."
"Nine flowers?"
".I never thought that you, an uncle, would think better of me than my own mother."
Fujii Itsuki: "What does Jiuhua think of herself?"
Jiu Huayue raised her head, and through the faint light above her head, she looked at the white snow flying in the dark night. "Well, who knows? Maybe I am the bad child that my mother said. I am not obedient enough, and I don't respect my parents' wishes enough."
"."
The night was cold and snowing heavily.
Fujii Itsuki felt that the girl next to him looked so lonely when she raised her head.
The girl then withdrew her gaze from the night sky and turned to Fujii Itsuki, who had been sitting beside her for a long time.
The girl looked at him for a few seconds, then looked away and whispered:
".Thank you, uncle."
"Thank you for what?"
"You are willing to chat with me and listen to my bitter words late at night."
"After all, there's a gorgeous young lady next to you, and a perverted uncle like me is happy to oblige."
".He is obviously a perverted uncle, but he speaks in such a gentlemanly tone."
"I wonder if you have ever heard of the saying that a gentleman is a pervert, Jiuhua."
"No! I don't care either. Also, don't think that I have that idea because of my family reasons just because of my mother. I'm not that naive and fragile."
Fujii Itsuki was curious, "Why is that?"
"I won't tell you! By the way, you still have to go to work tomorrow, right?"
"Not tomorrow. A week's work is over."
"Oh, will you get up early tomorrow?"
"how?"
".Do you have any noodles you want to eat?"
Fujii Itsuki laughed, "Want to make a bowl of noodles for this perverted uncle?"
Jiu Huayue stood up, her tall figure clearly visible under the light from the overhead lights, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just repaying your favor for the potato chips!"
"I understand. You don't like to owe favors to others. I can do whatever you want with the noodles, but I have to make it clear that if the noodles don't taste good, I will throw them away."
"How dare you! Those are the noodles I cooked!"
Fujii Itsuki smiled again, "I just care if it tastes good."
"You'll be so hungry!"
After saying that, the girl ran back with the potato chips and her guitar.
Fujii Itsuki was bored staying here alone. After taking a look at the little snowman built by Jiuhuayue in the yard, he walked back, locked the lobby door, and prepared to go back to sleep.
"Hey!"
The voice came from the second floor. Fujii Itsuki looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a cute head leaning down at the junction of the stairs and the second floor.
"Good night, I forgot to say it. Good night, uncle!"
Fujii Itsuki smiled at the cute little head and responded:
"Good night."
"Also, the noodles I'll make tomorrow will definitely make you cry with hunger!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared.
Isn't this girl cute?
Fujii Itsuki went back to his room to sleep with a smile on his face.
Chapter 29 I’m more or less starting to hate you less!
"."
Cast your gaze to the other side of the room.
The snowflakes at night soaked the windows, uninvitedly gathering and converging at the edges bit by bit, dyeing the whole place white.
The window glass vaguely revealed my shadow lying on the bed.
——I still clearly remember the feeling of that day.
In the empty station, with snow falling all over the sky, a girl wearing a beret and a red shawl is looking at the black sky with her hand outstretched.
Unbelievable.
Although this was the first time I saw this scene, I always felt like I had seen it before, and I still can't forget it.
Every time I think of this picture, an indescribable emotion surges in my heart. I feel that this picture is very familiar and that this picture is attracting me.
Why is that?
Fujii Itsuki looked absentmindedly at the snowy night outside the window, and the figure of the girl at the station appeared again.
Beautiful, ethereal, clean
Those lifeless eyes looking up at the sky——
ah.
Fujii Itsuki suddenly understood.
The reflection in the glass is the answer.
Those confused eyes were exactly the same as mine.
*
咚咚
咚咚
There was a gentle knock on the door.
It was so gentle that it took Fujii Itsuki ten minutes to wake himself up from his sleep.
He subconsciously glanced out the window.
Snow stopped.
But the weather was not good. There was no sunshine, no sun, the sky was gray, and everything in the city was covered with snow.
Having just gotten up and not yet fully conscious, Fujii Shu slowly stood up, put on his slippers, got out of bed, and opened the door, only to see Jiu Huayue standing at the door of his room somewhat embarrassedly.
"that.!"
Jiu Huayue raised her voice, straightened her back, and turned her face and eyes slightly to the side.
"what's up?"
"Didn't I say I would make you a bowl of noodles last night?"
Fujii Itsuki remembered that something like this happened last night.
"Ah."
"This is a thank you, uncle! It can also be used as a replacement for the potato chips you had last night."
"That makes sense. Are you ready?"
"It hasn't started yet. I just prepared the seasoning. If I wake you up after it's done, I'm afraid the noodles will become soft and won't taste good."
If he didn't misunderstand the relationship between them, they should be more disgusted with each other, right?
After the eavesdropping incident, she should hate this uncle even more.
