When she asked him what his hobbies were, Fujii Itsuki would say reading novels and brewing coffee. It was a pity that he sold the equipment for brewing coffee in Tokyo, so it was not available here, which was a bit regrettable.
In the past few days, the distance between me and Jiuhuayue has been shortened.
He truly felt that he and Jiuhuayue were "friends", so much so that when she said she was going to Tokyo, he felt a little disappointed because he had one less person to chat with today.
"Uncle, you must remember to keep your room clean during the days I'm away."
"I try my best."
Jiu Huayue was immediately unhappy, "This is not a suggestion, it's an order!"
Fujii Itsuki leaned against the window, looking away from the snow outside, put down the cigarette in his mouth, and smiled, "Didn't Jiuhua always say that we are friends? How can you order a friend's friend around?"
"But at the same time, I am also your landlord, so I have the right to ask you to smoke less. This is my advice to you as a friend. It is very bad for your health."
"I know, I know. You're a bit long-winded."
".I'm not concerned about you, it's just a small suggestion. I'm leaving now."
"Well, take care. How many days will it take you to come back?"
"I'm not sure, maybe three or four days, maybe a week."
“That’s quite a long time.”
"So, uncle, don't forget to take care of yourself once I'm gone."
"understood."
"Be serious."
Fujii Itsuki immediately straightened his back, "Yes, sir!"
The girl nodded, then quickly walked out of the gate, stepped into the yard, and entered the vast white snow country.
She was walking on the snow, pulling a suitcase, wearing a white beret, and her red shawl was still matched with a short skirt and white cotton socks. When she walked out of the yard, Fujii Itsuki saw her looking at him at the gate.
She frowned her pretty brows, raised her slender finger and pointed at her own mouth.
What the girl meant was - 'Smoke less!'
Fujii Itsuki laughed.
This young girl friend is really dedicated and responsible. Or maybe she just hates cigarettes.
*
Jiuhuayue went to Tokyo.
It would be a lie to say there wasn't any sense of emptiness.
These days I have gotten used to chatting and doing housework with her.
Matsumae Shinchun didn't know why she hadn't contacted him in the past few days. In the past, when he was tutoring her, she would basically chat with him for a few words on SNS.
Fujii Itsuki guessed that it was because the New Year festival was approaching, and as the chief shrine maiden of Matsumae Shrine, she needed to spend a lot of time practicing.
Chitose is also very busy. It's almost the end of the year, and she asked for leave from Mr. Nagano a few days ago, so she has been helping out frantically in the hot spring shop these days.
Almost every night I can see her message “I’m so tired~ I don’t want to make sushi for customers anymore~~”.
So much so that her plan to become friends with Jiuhua was temporarily shelved.
As soon as Jiuhua left, the boredom of life became apparent.
There has been no news from Nonaka and there are no suitable jobs.
As for being a teacher
After being busy with cleaning the house with Jiuhua for a few days, Fujii Itsuki even forgot that he had this worry.
He couldn't accept it. He actually escaped back to Otaru. He had been deceiving himself and just running away.
It's so boring.
Fujii Itsuki took out a cigarette as usual, looked at the snowflakes outside the window, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly.
Just as he was worrying about how to break through this depressed mood, the doorbell suddenly rang.
".have a guest?"
Jiuhua has no friends, and he doesn't have many friends either.
Then the guests who come can only be.
Chapter 33: Chitose's Visit (Part )
It is indeed Chitose.
Fujii Itsuki hurriedly opened the iron gate outside and walked to the door to greet her.
“Brother Tree!!”
“Chitose——?!”
Before Fujii Itsuki could react, the enthusiastic short-haired girl threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.
Her little head rubbed against my arms, very clingy.
"whee."
"Aren't you embarrassed to hug me like this?"
"Brother Shu said before that it's okay to hug like this, and no one else will see it anyway."
Chitose Yangkui hugged Fujii Itsuki's waist tightly, raised her head in his arms and looked at him.
"Brother Shu! I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you so much~~"
"I miss you as well."
"So perfunctory~~"
"I'm serious about this, okay?"
"Then Brother Shu, hold me tight."
"alright."
Fujii Itsuki reached out and lifted her up a little.
This girl smells really good, and when I hold her I feel the petite and slenderness of a teenage girl.
Ever since she caught a cold last time, this girl has become even more attached to me.
Fujii Itsuki pushed her away from his arms and asked in confusion, "Didn't you say you were very busy these days?"
"I've been so busy, but I've still found time to come visit Brother Shu. Well, actually, my mother saw that I've been busy for too long, so she asked my father for half a day off for me. So I found time to come visit Brother Shu and Jiuhua~"
Chitose Yang Kui said this, lifting the canvas bags in her hands.
"Yes! There are vegetables and fruits inside. They are the gifts I brought specially. Where is Jiuhua-san?"
Chitose Yangkui looked into the lobby but didn't see anyone.
"She went to Tokyo."
"You went to Tokyo again? To work?"
"Correct."
"Is she often out and about?"
"Almost. She usually goes out for three or four days. She even went to Tokyo on purpose. I don't know how she managed her time when she was in school."
Yang Kui Chitose suddenly smiled beautifully, "I see, so that's how it is, that's good!"
"What's good about this?"
"Actually, Brother Shu, I haven't been sleeping well these days."
"Hmm? Tell me what happened."
"I dream of a fox at night. It was beautiful and friendly, but when I approached it, it suddenly became ferocious and scratched me with its claws, driving me out of my own nest."
Fujii Itsuki thought for a moment and said, "There are quite a lot of foxes in Otaru. I think Chitose has been too busy recently, which has caused her to have wild thoughts and nightmares."
"I think so too," Yang Kui Chitose lowered her head in disappointment, "If only I had more time."
"It will be fine after the New Year. Chitose will definitely not be so busy then. Chitose, give me the things quickly and come in first."
"Thank you, Brother Shu."
"Why are you so polite?"
Chitose Yang Kui walked into the lobby with a smile, but the expression on her face quickly froze.
Because she found that the scene here was very different from when she first arrived.
The white cloth on the furniture is gone, and the dirt and dust on the glass are gone.
The overhead chandelier is clean and there is no debris in the corners.
In short, it was obvious that someone had cleaned this place up with great fanfare, giving it a more lively feel.
It was clearly only a few days.
"Brother Shu, did you just do a thorough cleaning here?"
Fujii Itsuki poured hot water for her and nodded in response, "Yes, Jiuhua asked me to help with the spring cleaning a few days ago. She said there were too many spiders and asked me to help her clean up."
Was Brother Shu asked to do this?
Fortunately, he was a stupid fox and had no idea what Brother Tree liked.
——Chitose Yangkui’s thought only lasted for a few minutes before it was broken.
Because when she walked into the lobby, she took a look at Fujii Itsuki's room, and she suddenly found that Brother Itsuki's room had become clean!
".Brother Shu, is this the room you cleaned yourself?"
"No, not really. Jiuhua helped me a lot."
"So that's how it is, I see."
