The classroom of the Faculty of Letters of Dongda University.
Most of the students had already put away their books, got up and left the classroom.
"My father divorced a long time ago, and my aunt is a single mother. The two met at work, and both of them have intersected at work. After going back and forth, they became acquainted. A year ago, my dad He took me to meet my aunt, their mother and daughter, and it was not until recently that my aunt and my father decided to get married."
Totsuka Katsura scratched his head embarrassingly, "You know, I broke up a few months ago. At that time, my relationship with Xiaoqiao was still normal, and we kept in touch every day. During that time, I was broken in love. She Very caring, even made food for me, that’s all”
"Well~ I understand."
Kai Uesugi closed the book in front of him, thought about it for a while, and then asked him: "Since it is a combined family, your father and aunt should try to make you get along well with her, so why do you feel like Afraid of her seeing you."
Totsuka Keishen explained: "It seems to me that it is great for parents to continue their relationship. When two families get together, they can take care of each other's life, but Xiaoqiao doesn't think so. .She has a relatively introverted personality and doesn't talk too much. She treats this matter like a kind of one. She wants to accept it, but she has some resistance in her heart. I think she can't let go of her previous father. You can understand if I say so. .”
"Yeah." Uesugi Kai nodded, and put the neat books on the table.
Totsuka Katsura continued: "Before, it was just an intention, and it was only recently that she made it clear that she wanted to get married, so she also had some resistance to me, and she didn't answer my phone recently."
Uesugi asked: "She resists you so much, is it because you like her?"
"It should be a little bit. I'm not sure. After all, it's a newly formed family. I was a little surprised to see her last time at the sorority meeting. I didn't expect her to come."
Kaoru Uesugi remembered that Totsuka seemed to have disappeared in the last few days of the fraternity, and Lemi Kohashi left in a hurry when he was giving him the second thank you gift.
"Uesugi, I know, my sister recently learned to be a barista under your hands."
"You must be able to talk to her, how about helping me?"
"How can I help you?"
"Just ask her for me, can we meet?"
"Your tone of doubt is probably because you are not sure about your own requirements."
"I'm also confused."
Kaoru Uesugi pinched his chin and thought for a while, then asked: "Do you really like her?"
"Ah."
"feasible?"
"First of all, regardless of this, the parents' consideration is secondary, isn't it? The most important thing is the two people's thoughts."
"."
Uesugi had nothing to say.
"Besides, we... are not related by blood, just brothers and sisters in name, and we will definitely succeed."
"Okay, you are amazing, you convinced me."
Totsuka Katsura put his hands together: "Please, just let her agree to say a few words with me, you should tell her directly."
"You don't want to take this opportunity to confess, do you?"
"Confession? No, no, it's not time yet." Totsuka Katsura shook his head repeatedly.
Kai Uesugi felt that he did have his own scale in terms of how close he was to the girl, at least he would not be unable to grasp his current position.
Too close to be annoying.
After finishing the morning class, Kaoru Uesugi finished his lunch in the cafeteria and went to the library to read for a while.
Glancing at the time on his watch, he saw that it was almost time. He got up and walked out of the library, heading straight for the school where the bicycles were parked.
Walking to the road near Chimen, there are two rows of ginkgo forests in front of you, with golden leaves and fallen fruits.
There are many tourists and students walking back and forth below.
Uesugi Kai looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him, and decisively chose to turn around and take a long way to the bicycle shed.
In October, many people come to admire and take pictures of the ginkgo at Dongda University.
Beautiful is beautiful, but Kai Uesugi doesn't understand how they can appreciate ginkgo against the stench of spoiled fat.
Ginkgo nuts are really stinky.
In addition to the smell of ginkgo nuts, there are also a lot of crows living on the tree, and bird droppings are of course indispensable.
If you're unlucky, you may even be pecked on the head by a crow, and then be soaked in bird droppings on your head.
He really couldn't walk this parallel wooden road without wearing a gas mask.
Cycling to the downstairs of the coffee shop, it was exactly one o'clock in the afternoon, Uesugi Kai went straight to the second floor.
Hanamaru Hanabi arrived at the coffee shop earlier than him, and several girls had already started chatting around a table eating snacks.
It's nothing more than a topic of snacks.
Kai Uesugi knew that Kuro Hanabi didn't know anything about snacks and desserts. She didn't know how to cook or bake, but at this moment she was able to chat with the shop manager Yanagi.
When it comes to the knowledge points on the cookies, it is even clear and logical.
Can she turn to herself?
Kaoru Uesugi arrived at the coffee shop, first greeted the store manager and several people, then went to the front desk to put on his own barista apron, then poured some water on the prickly pears at the front desk, and began to check whether the coffee beans prepared by the store manager today were qualified.
Open the jar, this batch of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee beans has a moderate sour taste, and the aroma and body are also uniform and suitable.
Although the manager gave him a lower salary, he was not stingy in the selection of coffee beans.
"Would you like some cookies?"
Kaoru Uesugi put down the can of coffee beans and looked up at Aka Erina who put the plate on the front desk.
He reached for a cookie and put it in his mouth.
It's blueberry-flavored, and he can tell it's a firework-baked dessert as soon as he eats it.
The taste is sandy powder, but without losing the rich milky aroma.
When Uesugi Kai was about to raise his hand to eat a piece again, he found Aka Erina looking at him.
She has been staring at herself like this for the past few days.
Could it be that she is the person in the shop that Hanabi mentioned that she has a tendency to like her.
"Ahem, please don't look at evil."
"What's wrong, can't I take a look at you?"
"Look at whatever you want, but don't leave me," Uesugi Kai replied subconsciously, but after seeing Hanamaru Hanabi, he suddenly shut his mouth again.
Almost forgot, her current identity is Hanamaru Haname.
"Why don't you continue talking?"
"It's nothing." Uesugi Kai clenched his right hand and touched his lips lightly.
"Hey, Uesugi-san, I think you are very, very handsome."
"Thank you."
"But ah."
"but what?"
"But I think you should be a dedicated man."
"Why am I not dedicated!?"
Aka Erina didn't speak, but smiled at him while holding the cat ears on her head:
"Actually, it's not easy for me to say this. After all, I'm an outsider. I just want to remind you as a friend. After all, some things will never be hidden."
Watching Aka Erina leave the front desk, Kai Uesugi roughly knew what she was referring to.
Probably. She discovered her close relationship with Hanamaru Hanabi.
In her understanding, Hanamaru Hanabi who is currently working in the store is Hanamaru Haname.
She thought that she and her sister-in-law had an ambiguous relationship in that regard.
Forget it.
Misunderstood. Misunderstood.
Even if she informs Huahuo, it will only cause an oolong.
Not long after, Lihai Xiaoqiao also came to work. She was wearing a simple coat and a pair of long women's beige boots on her feet.
She pushed open the door and bowed her head to say hello to Shang Shanhao as soon as she came in.
"Good afternoon, Uesugi-kun."
"Well, good afternoon."
Watching her start getting ready for work, Kaoru Uesugi remembered what Totsuka asked him to do in the morning.
That guy wanted to have a chat with Lihai Xiaoqiao, his half-sister, so that he could ask him to tell the story.
It was easy for Uesugi to agree in the morning, but in this situation, it is really difficult for him to speak.
After all, I can't order people to meet with each other.
It's not good to use the status of a senior to oppress this girl.
Just try to ask.
Kai Uesugi looked at Li Hai, who was tying up her long hair, and asked her, "Xiaoqiao-san, do you know a guy named Totsuka?"
Xiaoqiao Lihai's movements obviously paused, she was not stupid, she understood something, put down her hands from the ponytail behind her head, looked at Uesugi Kai and asked:
"It's him, what's the matter with you, senior?"
When she said this, Uesugi Kai was easy to answer:
"Well, he asked me to bring you a sentence. He wants to meet and chat with you."
"I know" Xiaoqiao Lihai said in a dull tone, "he's always told me that."
"It shouldn't be a big deal to meet you, right? I think he wants to see you, but he is very anxious."
Xiaoqiao Lihai was silent at first, but now that the guests didn't come, and she couldn't find anything to do, she just stood there and didn't answer Uesugi Kai's words. She didn't think it was very good, so after a while, she opened her mouth and said:
"Senior, it's been a long time since I didn't live with my family. It's been half a year"
Uesugi: "Can I ask why?"
"The reason"
She took another deep breath.
"The reason is that when I knew my mother was remarried at first, I felt a kind of resistance. Can seniors understand?"
Before Uesugi Kai answered, she went on to say:
"Before my father was alive, my mother loved him very much. She would take care of his clothes every day when she went out, smile at him every day when she went out, greet him every day when he came home, take off his suit, and care about him today. How is your work.
"Dad is a very good person, he is gentle to me and has a sense of responsibility. He loves my mother very much, and my mother loves him very much. Although I am still young, I can also feel the warmth of family in them.
"I have always dreamed of them. They often tell me something about their drive when they met, their parents and their journey together are very difficult, hey, it can be said that they can get married after going through hardships, and live in happiness forever. Together.
"When I was young, my father often touched my back, looked at the blue sky and said how much I loved my mother and how much my mother loved him.
"I can understand that I can see his longing for his mother in his smiling eyes. They love each other very deeply. As a daughter, I can also appreciate the love between them."
When Xiaoqiao Lihai said this, his mood became depressed.
"Later... my father suddenly left and my mother, who loved him so much, suddenly wants to remarry. Although that uncle is really nice and has known his mother for a long time, when it comes time for my mother to remarry, I... can't accept it.
"The story between my parents and my mother has always been circling in my mind.
"Father and mother, didn't they love each other deeply, and then agreed to stay together for life? Didn't they often talk about the memories between them in front of me, take photos, and tell me about their Jane at that time?" Simple and very warm love?
"Even if the father passed away, the mother who loved him deeply should think of him."
Perhaps because of the image of the deceased father in her mind, the corners of Lihai Xiaoqiao's eyes became moist. She took a deep breath, and then gently wiped her eyes with her right hand.
Kai Uesugi can understand, can understand her difficulties.
Put yourself in the shoes and think about it, if he left, Huahuo suddenly remarried many years later and wanted to live with another man, now he can't accept it at all.
It's just that now that I'm still alive, I don't have to think about it at all.
Just like Xiaoqiao Lihai's previous parents, they love each other deeply.
And the other side?
There is no choice but to bear the pain.
"Sorry to remind you of something bad."
"No, it's okay, I'm used to it." Xiaoqiao Lihai calmed down a little, and soon recovered.
A guest opened the door and entered at this moment. She tried to squeeze a smile on her face and did her job well.
After asking the guest for the meal they needed, she turned around.
"Uesugi-kun, a cup of Blue Mountain coffee."
"Okay." Uesugi Kai didn't mention the matter that Totsuka asked him in the morning.
Judging from Xiaoqiao's words just now, she is still very resistant to the other family.
It doesn't matter whether the other party is good or bad.
Simply unacceptable.
"Uesugi-kun."
Xiaoqiao Lihai watched him making coffee, "I will seriously consider his request."
Uesugi Kai turned his head to the side: "This won't make you uncomfortable, right? Don't care about my face, I just convey a word for him."
"It should be fine, I just said a few words. He probably told me that my mother and uncle hoped that I would go back to see them."
Kaoru Uesugi looked at her carefully.
these words.
Could it be
She didn't realize that the guy who was going to be her brother fell in love with her?
Kaoru Uesugi felt that Totsuka's love was hard to come by.
Today, as usual, I worked until 7:[-] pm. Due to the recent increase in the number of customers in the coffee shop, the store manager Liu Mu decided to increase the salary for everyone.
This naturally aroused the joyful voices of several maids.
Well, only Aka Erina cheered.
The twin sisters Yuri and Yuno usually don't like to show their emotions on their faces, so they didn't make a sound.
Hanamaru Hanabi just raised her hand to express her happiness.
The same is true for Kobashi Lihai.
Although the cheers are not loud, but fortunately everyone is happy. Manager Liu Mu invites everyone to have a dinner at the barbecue restaurant tomorrow Saturday.
home at night.
Sitting sideways on the back seat of the small pink bicycle, Hanamaru Hanabi looked up at the twilight clouds on the edge of the sky, her purple eyes reflected in this brilliance, with an indescribable charm.
"Kai-kun, it seems that I talked too much with a certain woman today."
Kaoru Uesugi, who was riding in front of him, suddenly felt his heart tighten.
"I'm just conveying one thing."
"What's the matter?" Hanamaru Hanabi's voice was neither salty nor weak, like an emotionless machine.
"My classmate, please let me convey a word to Xiaoqiao. He wants to see him."
"Why, Mr. Kai's classmates don't go by themselves?"
"Because Xiaoqiao doesn't want to see him, so I can only use my mouth to talk about it."
"Is that so, Kai-kun didn't mean to talk to other women too much?"
"Of course."
After getting an affirmative answer, a smile appeared on Hanamaru Hanabi's lovely face: "That's good! Hanabi likes Kai-kun the most."
What she said was cute, but for some reason, Kaoru Uesugi always felt that she was a little scary just now.
