In Tokyo, I just want salted fish

Chapter 283 Mr. Reflection
Heavy dark clouds hovered in the sky, and they rained lightly, dampening everything in the park.

Aiyi squatted under a bridge in the park.

The bridge is flat and not high. Below it is a small river that is neither deep nor shallow, and both sides are covered with emerald-like green grass.

The pier blocked half of her figure, and the slanted hat seemed to slip off her beautiful hair at any time.

She seemed to be in a daze, thinking foolishly about some problems.

This made Uesugi, who was standing on a high place holding an umbrella, couldn't help recalling the appearance of seeing her on the first day.

She was also in a daze that day, lowering her head and looking at the ground.

I asked her what she was doing, and she said she was watching ants move sugar.

This kind of meaningless daze is actually killing time, so that the brain can be empty and forget everything.

People are conceived in the mother's womb and have their first perception there, so many children like closed spaces.

When I was a child, I liked to cover my head under the quilt at night to cover my whole body.Love the little cardboard boxes so I can curl myself up and sleep contentedly.I like to build a small thatched hut so that I can hug my legs and curl up under the banana leaves, looking at the sky to hide from the rain.

Uesugi Kai can understand her desire to be alone, but it is not good to make her sister worry.

He stepped on the soft soil under the lawn and chose to approach the little girl.

The small river flowing in front of Aiyi reflects the way her hat is tilted on her head.

Kaoru Uesugi squatted down beside her, trying to talk to her: "Are you okay?"

"Woo not feeling well"

"If you're not feeling well, you can go home first. You hide here in the afternoon. It's raining again. Your sister will be very worried."

"Ah."

Aiyi responded to him, but the promise was ambiguous, because she didn't stand up, and she didn't make any next moves.

The air was also silent for a long time.

Uesugi found that she had been staring at her own reflection in the water.

"What happened today?"

"Um"

"Can you talk to me?"

"I was asking Mr. Reflection if he could keep looking at me like this, but he didn't answer."

Very strange question, and the reflection in the water is a little girl who is the opposite of her, not Mr. What.

"As long as you look at the shadow, it will always look at you." Uesugi Kai answered for her reflection.

The rippling circular water patterns collided with each other and superimposed continuously, making the small river not very calm.

"Will you watch it?" Aiyi stared at the water surface that was knocked out of the circle by the rain.

Kaoru Uesugi followed her words and replied:
"Will do."

It is indeed true to explain it with the reflection phenomenon learned in junior high school, but Ai Yi has not yet entered junior high school at this age, so he should not know the phenomenon of light.

In the cognition of children, it is a matter of course that the water surface will reflect the appearance.

Kai Uesugi found that her clothes were a little wet. If she didn't go home in this rainy day, she would definitely catch a cold.

"Let's go back and take a shower with my sister first, and talk slowly if you have anything to say."

Aiyi shook her head, her slender eyebrows were not happy at all:

"If I don't look at Mister Reflection, Mr. Reflection won't look at me either."

"You can see Mr. Reflection even when you go home." Kai Uesugi didn't understand why she wanted to see Reflection, so he had to say.

Aiyi is very smart, at least when he said this, she immediately understood, "That's right. You can see Mr. Reflection in the bathtub at home, but... if you leave now, will Mr. Reflection change to another person. Meet Aiyi again."

Uesugi Kai: "In such a short time, it won't happen."

In her current appearance, it is difficult to connect with the lively and cheerful little girl last Friday.

At this moment, it is more like being immersed in one's own world, forcing oneself to adapt to something.

"Let's go home with my sister first. She also got caught in the rain looking for you. If you don't go back, she will still wait outside."

Uesugi Kai pointed to Qian Aiyi who was standing above. Due to the rain, the sloping grass was rather slippery, so she was not allowed to come down with her.

Aiyi looked away from Mr. Reflection, saw her sister on the shore, and gave him a "hmm".

Uesugi Kai felt that she was still very obedient, and she would try her best to care about her sister's affairs.

Aiyi stood up, held the shoulder strap of the schoolbag with both hands, and carried the red schoolbag that was soaked in rain behind her back.

"Be careful when you go up, don't slip and fall." Uesugi Kai covered her head with an umbrella and carried a slightly heavy schoolbag in his hand.

"Okay." Aiyi hid under his umbrella and looked up at him.

The original intention was to go home first after finding her sister for Qian Aiyi, but with this slightly heavy schoolbag in her hand, she thought it was better to send the two of them home to make sure they would not catch a cold.

This is an apartment building, the decoration and corridors are very clean, and the door latch is also of the card-swipe sensor type.

Obviously it looks like a high-end apartment, but Kaoru Uesugi always feels that there is something missing here.

It seems that it is so tidy that it does not have the breath of life it should have?
When walking into the elevator, Kaoru Uesugi also saw a man in a suit and leather shoes.

Judging from his appearance, he is about 30 years old, and he is still wearing a tie when he comes out of the elevator.

Tie a tie in an elevator?
Japanese people will let their wives do such small things, not to mention living in this kind of high-end apartment, which looks like a professional elite with high salaries.

Led by Qian Aiyi, she came down to the entrance of their house.

As soon as Aiyi took off her shoes, she ran to the bathroom to change clothes.

When Qian Aiyi stretched out her hand to slip her shoes, she saw that her sister's shoes were messed up, and helped her tidy them up.

Because he knew that the mother of the two sisters hadn't taken care of them for half a year, Uesugi was a little surprised when he entered the house and saw that the living room was so tidy.

"Is Qian Aiyi always cleaning the room?"

"No, it's not. Aiyi will help out occasionally."

Seeing him looking around the room, Qian Aiyi spoke nervously, "Brother, sit down for a while."

Uesugi thought she was going to change wet clothes with Aiyi, "Okay, let's go."

After a while, Qian Aiyi held the steaming teacup and carefully placed it in front of him.

"Didn't you change your clothes first?" Uesugi Kai saw the tea leaves floating in the cup.

"Aiyi has gone."

"I am talking about you."

Qian Aiyi looked like a child who had done something wrong in front of him, "I, I don't think I can let my brother wait here. I just blew so much cool breeze to help find Aiyi. It would be better to drink hot tea."

It's just talking, not talking about how much wind and rain has blown.

Kaoru Uesugi was silent for a while, accepted her kindness, and then said: "Go and change clothes, you'd better take a bath to avoid catching a cold. I used to take care of your sister Hanabi who caught a cold for a while, if you."

Hesitant to speak.

He originally wanted to say that such a cold would worry your parents, but when he caught a glimpse of the little tear mole under Qian Aiyi's left eye, he suddenly remembered what she had said to him.

——No parents care if they catch a cold.

After Qian Aiyi went to change clothes and take a bath, Uesugi Kai sat in the living room and took a sip of the cup of hot tea.

The tea leaves are fragrant, but have lost a taste.

Probably did not wake up tea.

But yes, a girl in her teens knows how to wake up tea, maybe she learned how to entertain guests with tea from TV.

Thinking of something, he walked to the kitchen and saw the tea pot on the countertop.

The jar is new and only one tea bag has been used.

This shows that this can of tea is newly bought, and his cup of tea is the first cup.

But the two sisters don't drink tea either. Who is the tea bought not long ago for?
Uesugi also found that there was instant coffee next to the tea pot, which was also new.

Tea pots and coffee, which reminded him of himself, but he didn't tell Qian Aiyi or Aiyi what he liked to drink.

Ask Hanabi?
He opened the refrigerator casually, and there were some small cakes and puddings packed in transparent boxes on the upper shelf.

There is a note placed in a conspicuous position, warning Aiyi not to steal snacks, otherwise her sister will definitely know.

In addition to the cold bento bought at the convenience store, there are two plates of food below?

It should be fried, and the appearance is dark. Just looking at it will immediately lose your appetite.

Uesugi Kai felt that if he made this kind of dish—it would be more reliable to eat cup noodles.

It's no wonder that Aiyi always complains about her sister's cooking.

But Qian Aiyi is very careful, cooking should not trouble her.

The current problem is probably that no one teaches.

After returning everything to the original state, Kai Uesugi returned to the living room.

This is the 14th floor, and it seems to be closer to the dark clouds outside.

The rain hitting the windows one after another seems to transmit the sound into the heart. If you stare at the wind and rain for a long time, your body will feel a little bit chilly.

He picked up the teacup again, the aroma flowed into his mouth, the hot tea fell into his stomach, and his body and mind overflowed with warmth.

In the living room, he could hear the two little girls talking in the bathroom.

Basically, the elder sister was asking Aiyi if something happened to her, but Aiyi said strange things like Mr. Reflection.

The tea in the cup bottomed out.

Aiyi changed into her pajamas and came out of the bathroom, her little feet running "pat-pat-pat" on the floor, and ran to him.

"Aren't you going to take a longer bath?" Kai Uesugi, who was replying to Hanabi's message, looked up and asked, and found that her hair was still wet.

"What are you doing in the bath?"

"Promote blood circulation, so you can sweat a lot, and you may catch a cold just after getting in the rain."

Aiyi let out a oh in novelty, then stepped on the floor and ran back to the bathroom.

The action of her clattering to open the bathroom door shocked my sister.

Should this be said to be the unity of knowledge and action?

Kaoru Uesugi's plan to leave after saying hello also fell through, so he had to wait for the two sisters to come out of the shower before saying goodbye.

While waiting, he took a look at the layout of the house.

Very strange, there is only one bedroom, one living room and one kitchen.

And it is an open kitchen, strictly speaking, it is integrated with the living room.

The decoration is exquisite, and the location is good, there are many companies nearby.

a house like this
Kaoru Uesugi is very concerned about the man who was wearing a tie by himself just now, if he practiced to one bedroom and one living room, this should be a single apartment.
Unmarriageism prevails in Japan.

Young men are more passive and unwilling to take the initiative to fight for love, while young women are more inclined to choose men whose annual income reaches a certain standard, and ordinary young men do not meet this requirement.

Once young people are tired for a long time, many people will think that they can persevere alone, why bother to try a relationship that is likely to fail?

News about various divorces abounds on the Internet, which fuels the fear of marriage among single social animals, and makes people gradually forget about finding a partner in the busy work.

'I can take care of myself'

'I can entertain myself'

'My family only needs me alone'

'It's not that I'm enough by myself, but that I'm fine by myself'

This kind of house is simply tailor-made for unmarried people, with one bedroom and one living room, and it is only for one person to live in.

Of course, for some people, it is also a good place to keep lovers here
So. The reputation of this kind of apartment is not very good, men are fine, but women are
It's not a good place to live with a home of only two little girls left.

The two sisters came out of the bathroom, and Kai Uesugi felt that he should also say goodbye.

"Ah~ brother is leaving?"

"You still want me to stay here?"

"My sister and I are the only ones at home. If my brother is here, there will be one more person to chat with."

"Then wouldn't it be better for me to call Sister Huahuo?"

"Really?" Aiyi raised her eyebrows happily.

Uesugi Kai did not respond positively, "Aren't you feeling uncomfortable?"

"It's better now."

"Then what happened to you this afternoon, why did you go to that kind of place alone to see Mr. Reflection?"

"Because Mr. Reflection will look at me, so I will look at him too."

These are strange words that fit Aiyi's character very well.

"Who is Mister Reflection?"

"Mr. Reflection is Mr. Reflection." Aiyi said.

Uesugi Kai glanced at his sister Qian Aiyi, and understood from her eyes that she didn't understand what Aiyi meant.

Mr. Reflection will look at me.
These words sound scary, but what Aiyi wants to express in his heart should be another meaning.

"Then let me ask another way, did you meet someone this afternoon?"

Aiyi was silent for a moment, then nodded her head.

Just when Uesugi was preparing to deliberate one by one, he remembered the silver watch in the lecture hall of Dongda University in the morning.

"Meet Dad?"

Aiyi shook her head.

"Mother?"

Aiyi nodded.

"What did she say?"

"Mom just asked me to go home. She said that she would come to see me in two days and sister and mother left with uncle after talking." Aiyi's voice became smaller and smaller.

Although she said she would go home in two days, it must be perfunctory to the little girl, even Aiyi could hear it.

I guess I didn't even look straight at him, so I dismissed him and left.

The mother, who had been away for half a year, saw her little daughter again, and she only gave her such a blank check that was not salty or tasteless.

That's why she hid under the pier to look at the reflection in rainy days.

Except for her sister, only her reflection in the water is willing to keep looking at her.

Hearing the news of her mother, Qian Aiyi's voice became much softer: "Aiyi, mother will never come home again."

Aiyi looked away and didn't look at her sister: "Mom said she would come back to see us in two days."

"Will not."

"Yes, it will be fine in two days."

"I won't come again." Qian Aiyi muttered.

"Yes, my mother told me so myself!"

Qian Aiyi didn't refute her sister's words anymore, whether she will come back or not can be seen very clearly on the faces of the two sisters.
