But Fujii Itsuki felt Xiao Jiuhua's kindness.
Just now when the shop assistant said that he was her boyfriend, she was so happy that she didn't know how to describe it, and the excitement lasted for a long time.
To be honest, I can feel it, but I can't quite understand it.
Just because the shop assistant called you that, Xiaoyue, you become so happy?
Jiuhua Yue probably saw that Fujii Itsuki would not believe him, so he lowered his head, as if he was recalling something, and said softly:
"Uncle, you know I came here alone from Tokyo."
"clear."
“I was in Otaru for a long time before you met me.”
Fujii Itsuki continued to listen.
"I don't like being alone, but I grew up under Takarazuka's training. My classmates who trained with me were all my enemies. None of them were my friends. I couldn't talk to any of them. They were all jealous of the excessive care my teacher gave me, my unique eyes, and my title of 'Purple Flower'.
"My mother just told me to keep training and not to pay attention to such people. My father didn't care about anything other than my training. Even if someone really bullied me secretly and stuffed rotten eggs into my shoe cabinet, my mother would tell me to just bear with it.
"My mother asked me to do this for a very simple reason. Those who enter the Takarazuka are either rich or noble, and they are all daughters of wealthy families. As long as I endure it, I won't have any negative impact on them."
Jiuhuayue's voice was very calm.
When Fujii Itsuki heard this, he remembered the news on the Internet about bullying within Takarazuka and the suicide of a student.
Originally, Fujii Itsuki wanted to ask about this matter.
Now it seems that the news is true.
"It's hard to stay in this environment, isn't it?"
"Yes." Fujii Itsuki nodded.
"As for me, even though I live with my parents, I never feel a sense of belonging to my home in Tokyo. The training in Takarazuka is tough, but I wish it was tougher so I could go home later.
"I don't know what the meaning of going home is. Other people's homes are warm and a place to rest, but when I go back home, I stay in my own room, looking at the ceiling, and I always feel cold.
“So I escaped.
“I want a normal life for my age, I want to meet a good friend.
“So, I went to school in Jubei.
“Because my life was all about training, I was a little out of touch with the times, and I found that I couldn’t communicate with people of my age at all.
“Because I had just started using a mobile phone, I didn’t know how to use many of its functions, and my good classmates even thought I was making fun of them.
"Maybe it's because of my personality. I never approach people actively, and I never talk to people. Gradually, I didn't get the life I wanted in Otaru.
"Jiuhuayue, how could you lose here?
“Jiuhuayue, can’t you do without friends?
"Jiuhuayue, isn't it good to be alone?!
"I have been using these words, these rhetorical questions, to make myself feel more comfortable."
Jiuhuayue looked back at her past self, with loneliness flashing in her eyes.
When Fujii Itsuki heard this, many thoughts came to his mind.
I guess he guessed right before.
When I first met Jiu Huayue, her eyes were full of loneliness, but her words were full of thorns and she was unyielding.
In fact, she was disguising herself as strong behind a cold exterior.
"You don't need anyone else" and "Just rely on yourself".
It's something like this, and I emphasize it in my mind again and again.
But actually.
Jiu Huayue has been walking alone all the way to now, and she really needs support from those around her.
That's why she wanted to be friends with me so much.
"I, I thought at first that although you were a bit of a pervert, you were a very nice person. You never thought about me at first, and you never looked at me in a disgusting way."
".Then I wasn't recently——"
"Then, how can it be the same as that day? Before that day, my opinion of you, uncle, had changed. In the words of the game, my favorability had accumulated!"
Is this so?
No wonder I wasn’t angry that day.
"As for this store, before I met you, uncle, I liked to buy a ticket at the station and get off wherever I wanted. One day, I was walking around and came across this store."
"Then why this store?" asked Fujii Itsuki.
"Because this restaurant clearly says it offers couple packages! When I saw the word 'couple', my mind started to light up. If we want to call them a couple, they should be a man and a woman who trust each other very much!
"Then we will be considerate of each other in life and take care of each other emotionally.
"So I walked into this store that day. There were many couples in the store that day. I watched them alone. Although I couldn't tell whether they trusted each other, I saw them feeding each other food. It was obviously very embarrassing, but inexplicably happy!
“I just couldn’t help but think.
“When will I meet someone like this?
"When can I meet a good person who is kind to me and I trust him and he trusts me?
"I don't ask for money or good looks from the other person, as long as he/she treats me well with all his/her heart.
“This world is so big, and there are so many people, but I don’t know how to find someone, and I don’t think I will be truly loved.
"So I made a secret decision that if I met someone I liked and trusted, I would bring him to this Suzuki Seafood Restaurant and have a couple's set meal that I had never had before."
Jiuhuayue finished speaking and looked at Fujii Itsuki.
"Well, it's pretty simple, right?"
".Indeed."
Fujii Itsuki was moved by what she said.
Jiuhua has had an extremely hard time getting to where she is now.
That day she walked to the platform alone and wanted to jump down and lie on the tracks in the snow.
I’m afraid that the “heart” at that time had already become cold, surrounded by loneliness, and full of wounds.
It was on that day that I met her by chance and moved into the house where she lived by chance.
That's why she can feel the joy of life.
His personality is much more lively than before.
Is this Xiao Jiuhua’s “love”?
For some reason, Fujii Itsuki began to feel that when he rejected Jiuhuayue, his understanding of her emotions was not deep enough.
The same amount of love also includes Chitose and Kokoharu.
It's not easy to be a scumbag.
"I'm busy talking, uncle, let's eat! I really wanted to try the sea urchin rice here last time!"
"Ah."
At the same time, outside the store, a pair of eyes saw two people eating and laughing inside the store.
After dinner, Fujii Itsuki still thought that Jiuhuayue would be depressed because of her bad mood.
But it didn't.
She was very happy along the way.
She pulled me to take photos in the flower shop, shouted at me to grab a doll for her in front of the gift shop, and asked her to pin a small shark hairpin on her. Her eyes looked at me inexplicably, asking me if I looked good.
Fujii Itsuki had mixed feelings.
I feel inexplicably distressed.
Fujii Itsuki bought some takoyaki with her, and Xiao Jiuhua strongly requested to take a photo with her, with their faces almost touching each other.
Fujii Itsuki did not refuse.
"That's it, that's it, uncle, look at the camera! Smile again, smile!"
"Laughed, laughed."
Click.
Photo freeze.
Sure enough, as a model, Jiu Huayue looks very photogenic no matter how she is photographed.
When Fujii Itsuki came back from buying milk tea, he saw the photo sent by Jiu Huayue. He originally wanted to laugh at the cat-like face Jiu Huayue always made when eating, but when he stopped, he suddenly saw Jiu Huayue sitting on a bench on the street with her mobile phone in her arms, staring at the photo of the two of them in a daze.
"If it disappears, we will go back to the past."
Jiuhuayue said this in a very low voice, and Fujii Itsuki heard it not far away.
Who does disappearance refer to, and what does the past refer to?
The answer is obvious.
"Here, milk tea."
".Uncle, do you know that I like strawberry flavored milk tea?"
"After all, who would use strawberries to scramble eggs?"
"Humph, you're such a chatterbox!"
Jiuhuayue put the straw between her lips and took a small sip.
She squinted her eyes and looked at the cantaloupe in Fujii Itsuki's hand.
".Give me a drink of yours."
"My?"
Fujii Itsuki let go of the straw and looked at the expectant girl beside him, "You don't mind?"
