If I were ten years younger, I would definitely want my girlfriend to dress like this.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Jiu Huayue looked back at him puzzled.
"Don't you think it's weird for you to talk like that, Jiuhua?"
"That's normal. Am I not telling the truth?"
"It sounds like my mother's voice, and the way she fixed the collar of my clothes also sounded like that."
"."
Jiu Huayue seemed to realize something. After a pause, she said unhappily, "Uncle, if you don't remember to tidy up your appearance and tidy up your room before going out, I will become your mother! Really, you are 26 years old, but you always don't listen to others!"
Fujii Itsuki: “.”
This is a weird thing to say.
After all, I am still your teacher in school.
How come you become a little adult when you are at home?
But it's quite warm.
I still want to thank Xiao Jiuhua for her thoughtfulness.
"Besides," Jiu Huayue stood up straight again and said, "Even if you and I are really that close, you should still be my father."
Oh?
If I think about it carefully, the actions and words just now, when applied to the identities of daughter and father, do not seem out of place.
A sensible daughter and a decadent father who doesn't know how to take care of himself.
Before the father went out, his daughter called him and gently reached out to help him straighten his collar.
This happy scene is full of déjà vu.
But how can you, a girl, call me father in front of me with a serious face?
I have never acknowledged you as my daughter.
Fujii Itsuki sighed inwardly.
It seems that since the day of the trilateral talks, Xiao Jiuhua has really regarded himself as half a father.
Usually when I tutor her, I always have a feeling -
If I pretend to sleep like she did on the rainstorm day, she will probably turn her back to me and secretly rest her head on my shoulder, right?
It can be seen that Xiao Jiuhua lacks real support in her heart.
In other words, lack of fatherly love.
Is this the "friend" relationship between me and Jiuhua?
It's really unique.
"Let's go, let's pack up and go out." said Fujii Itsuki.
"Wait a moment."
"Hmm? Anything else?"
"You...you haven't told me how I look today!"
"suitable for you."
"Very perfunctory"
Fujii Itsuki smiled and said, "Will you be happy if I praise you?"
Jiu Huayue was a little shy at first, but she was obviously a very cheerful girl at heart. She still puffed out her chest, closed her eyes, and stammered:
"Of course! If you praise me, I will be very happy!"
"Happy? How happy can I be?"
".I am extremely happy."
This proud, honest and evasive look is really cute.
Fujii Itsuki wanted to reach out and touch her head, but suddenly realized that she was not Chitose, so he retracted his hand.
Their current relationship is not as close as that of Chitose.
"Jiuhua looks very pretty today."
"Yeah. Thanks for the compliment."
He said, smiled, and walked out the door.
Jiuhuayue responded absentmindedly. While she was happy, she stared at his back, thinking about the hand that he had stretched out to her just now and then stopped abruptly.
This inexplicable alienation.
Do not know why
My heart seemed to have a blockage.

The location of the Tamaki Festival is in Kanayama-cho, Teine-ku.
This is where the Matsumae family and Matsumae Shrine are located.
It takes 40 minutes by train from Otaru Station to Teine District, and then another half an hour by bus to reach Kaneyama-machi, a remote town in the north.
The town is remote, but it is quite popular.
The reason is that the architectural style of the Edo period is preserved here, mostly low-rise bungalows and antique buildings. Even the stone slabs are paved with ancient bluestone.
In addition, it is backed by Jinshan Mountain, has hot springs and the blessing of the "Matsumae Family", so it naturally becomes an important part of the entire Sapporo tourism industry.
Matsumae had gone to prepare for the festival a day earlier, so there was no need to look for her.
But she kept Baihua, the big-tailed fox, and said that Baihua wanted to follow Teacher Fujii today and it would not go with her.
Weird
Fujii Itsuki came to Matsumae Shinharu's door and opened it with the key Matsumae gave him. Bai Hua was actually squatting at the entrance waiting for him. As soon as the door opened, she jumped onto his shoulders lightly in two or three steps.
This fat fox is really heavy.
"I remember Songqian said that she couldn't be separated from Master Baihua too far away. Why do you want me to take her there now?"
Bai Hua called out in his ear, and Fujii Itsuki was forced to change his address.
"That's what they say, but I'm not sure why they do that." Jiu Huayue answered, staring at the big yawn of the snow fox that showed its canine teeth. "It looks like Bai Hua is very close to you."
"Jiuhua, do you know it?"
"You know it, the guardian deity of each generation of the Matsumae family. When I left Otaru, it was taken care of by Xinchun."
"Oh Jiuhua, were you sad when you left Otaru?"
".Don't think I don't know that you are asking for information for Songqian!" Jiuhuayue's brows were knotted, and the unhappy expression suited her very well.
"I just care about you, Jiuhua."
"Hmph lies."
This kid.
After all, she is cuter when she is angry.
"Woo~~"
The snow fox barked again, as if urging Fujii Itsuki to set off quickly.
Fujii Itsuki smiled and reached out to touch the furry back of the snow fox, "You are quite anxious."
Fujii Itsuki and Jiuhuayue took the bus to Otaru Station.
Outside Otaru Station, there were many local residents who were also going to attend the Tamaki Festival. Some tourists heard about the festival and followed these local residents to Otaru Station to wait.
Chitose Haruki and Rinka Hiiragi were waiting for the two outside the station.
As soon as he got closer, Chitose waved to Fujii Itsuki happily in the sunset.
"Tree Brother!"
You can see her saying hello from a distance.
Passers-by around were attracted by her calling.
Under the setting sun, this scene has a cinematic artistic feel.
——There is a good sister in the countryside who is always waiting for me and will greet me with a smile.
Fujii Itsuki smiled and shook his head, thinking that this girl was really shameless.
However, she dared to call herself Brother Shu in front of Rinka.
This must explain the relationship between the two.
In this case, there is no need to hide it from Rinka.
"Brother Shu! Brother Shu, you look so handsome today!"
"Chitose, you too, why are you wearing a yukata?"
"How's it going? Does it look good?"
"Yeah, it suits you very well, Chitose."
"Hey, why is Bai Hua also on Brother Shu's shoulders? Isn't he walking with Xinchun?" Yang Kui Qiansui reached out and touched Bai Hua's head.
"I don't know why, Bai Hua wants to follow me."
"Woo~~"
The snow fox called again on Fujii Itsuki's shoulder.
"Oh, Hiiragi-san, good evening."
"Teacher Fujii"
Hiiragi Rinka looked away from Baihua and bowed her head to greet him. Her face was slightly red, and her voice was still weak. She was wearing a blue yukata with a beautiful bamboo leaf pattern on it.
