Fujii Itsuki didn't say much, just smiled slightly, and then turned his gaze to the sunset in the distance.
The afterglow reflected on the surface of the canal, creating golden sparkles.
The two stood there in silence until the sound of a bus engine was faintly heard.
Akai Muzi took the plastic bag handed over by Fujii Itsuki and waved to him before getting on the car. "Then I'll leave first. We'll talk tomorrow."
"Okay, be careful on the way back."
Fujii Itsuki raised his hand to say goodbye to her and watched her back disappear behind the car door.
But at the moment the car door closed, he suddenly felt an indescribable loneliness in his heart.
It’s true. I accidentally hurt Muzi’s heart again.
When I returned home with the vegetables, Jiuhuayue came out to greet me almost immediately.
She took the food from his hands, helped him take off his coat and get his clothes.
"Xiaoyue, you don't have to be so enthusiastic."
Jiu Huayue pinched his clothes and puffed up her face, "What? Don't forget our current relationship."
"what relationship?"
"You! Are you teasing me on purpose? We are newlyweds now."
"."
Fujii Itsuki was trying to hold back his laughter.
"Why, you're not happy?"
"With pleasure, of course."
".So perfunctory!" Jiu Huayue punched him lightly.
"Then give me a kiss?"
Jiuhuayue pouted, but still took the initiative to show her own cheek to Fujii Itsuki.
Fujii Itsuki looked at her pink and tender face for a moment, then gave her a small kiss.
"Are you satisfied now?"
"That's pretty much it."
Jiu Huayue was very happy, "Uncle, come in quickly, I have prepared tea and rice, and I am waiting for you to buy groceries and come back to cook!"
Jiuhuayue is very nimble.
After saying that, she packed up the things that Fujii Itsuki bought and ran to the kitchen to cook.
Da da da.
Soon the sound of Jiuhuayue washing and cutting vegetables was heard.
Fujii Itsuki stood in the living room and looked towards the kitchen, and found this scene incredible.
We haven't even gotten married yet, so why does it feel like Jiu Huayue and I are already an old married couple?
"Let me help you—"
"No, no need for your help, uncle. This is my duty."
Fujii Itsuki wanted to help, but she was reluctant.
Said it was her responsibility as a "wife".
Fujii Itsuki was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. How could Xiao Jiuhua be so into the role?
He was touched and felt warm, but when it came to talking about his wife, he still felt awkward.
But if you treat Jiuhuayue as your girlfriend, there is really no problem.
When it was dinner time, Jiuhuayue no longer sat opposite him, but sat next to Fujii Itsuki.
I had to pick up food for him and feed him with chopsticks.
"Uncle, please have some of these oysters."
"Uncle, the mutton soup I made today is delicious!"
"Uncle, you should eat some leeks too."
If you talk about enjoyment, it is definitely enjoyable.
"Wait, I didn't buy these, where did you get these ingredients?"
"I went out to buy it when you were away."
".What do you want to do?" Fujii Itsuki glanced at the food on the table and realized something was wrong.
"What? What do I want to do? I'm doing this for your own good!" Jiu Huayue's pretty face turned red.
Fujii Itsuki glanced at Xiao Jiuhua's expression again and said, "Should we take a day off?"
"No!" Jiuhuayue spoke word by word.
"Then it's tonight. It's ok to take a rest tonight."
"No!" Jiuhuayue emphasized his tone, emphasizing each word.
"Xiao Yue."
"no way!"
"Why."
"You, you still have the nerve to ask me why. Don't you always say you don't want to, but you still get to continue? You are a hypocrite, uncle!"
"That's not true."
"Hmph, if you continue like this, I will ignore you."
"."
After dinner, Jiu Huayue really did as she said and ignored her.
He even refused to collect the dishes that I used to help collect.
Fujii Itsuki had no choice but to go to her and coax her.
Fortunately, Jiuhuayue was easily persuaded and immediately softened her heart.
".Then tell me how to solve it."
"I'll stay with you for an hour tonight?"
Jiuhuayue glared at him and turned her head away fiercely.
"Two hours?"
"Humph!"
"Three hours?"
"Humph!"
Fujii Itsuki was completely speechless.
"Then I can stay with you all night."
“That’s pretty much it”
*
The weather was getting cooler, and the next day, Fujii Itsuki got up late, which was unusual for him.
If Jiu Huayue hadn't urged him to get up quickly, he would have been late today.
In the car, he was completely listless.
When we arrived at school, as expected, the atmosphere of the cultural festival today was completely different from usual. Every classroom was decorated with colorful flags and ribbons, and at the entrance stood a welcome sign carefully made with a hand-painted board.
The playground is no longer a playground. It is occupied by various snack stalls, second-hand goods and handicraft stalls, and has become a lively open-air market.
The whole school was filled with people from inside and outside the school walking around.
Fujii Itsuki felt that in such a lively atmosphere, he finally felt better.
"Morning, Mr. Fujii."
"morning."
"Morning, Mr. Fujii!"
"morning."
Fujii Itsuki stood at the door of the second-year Class A and noticed that the students coming and going had light steps.
But is it the students' footsteps that are light, or is it my head that is light?
Fujii Itsuki was a little confused and his head was aching, so he rubbed his temples.
"Teacher Fujii."
Hearing the clear and gentle voice, Fujii Itsuki looked up, and sure enough, it was Matsumae Shinharu.
Matsumae Shinharu was standing with Hiiragi Rinka, looking at him with concern.
"Teacher, you don't look very well today." Matsumae Shinchun asked cautiously.
".It should be that the teacher didn't get enough rest last night." Hiiragi Rinka added softly.
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it to heart.
When Matsumae Shinchun heard that the teacher did not sleep well at night, she immediately frowned.
Could it be Xiaoyue?
She was about to ask indirectly when she heard brisk footsteps from the other side. A figure rushed over quickly and hugged Matsumae Shinchun and Hiiragi Rinka with a smile.
"Kokoharu! Rinka! Good morning!!! Good morning to Mr. Itsuki—Teacher Fujii as well!" Chitose Yangkui smiled, but quickly covered her mouth in the middle of her words.
"Good morning."
".Good morning, Chitose."
