In Tokyo, I just want salted fish

Chapter 8 Talk
"I'm sorry Uesugi-kun." Hanamaru Hanabi looked at the bowls and chopsticks in her hand and whispered.

"Why are you apologizing?"

"Because what my mother said just now must have disturbed Uesugi-kun, please don't take it to heart."

"Hanabi. I will apologize to Sugi-kun."

The weak voice became smaller and smaller, and gradually disappeared, but Kai Uesugi could hear full of apology from her words.

A lot of the time, she does, and acts accordingly on her own.

Hanamaru Hanabi bit her cherry lips lightly: "Hanabi has been haunting Uesugi-kun for a long time, if Hanabi makes Uesugi-kun feel impatient, then Hanabi will."

"Fool."

Kaoru Uesugi interrupted her directly.

"Why is Uesugi-kun scolding Hanabi?"

Uesugi Kai smiled: "Say these words again, you are still the same as when you were a child, you haven't grown up at all, what is it if you are not a fool?"

"Hanabi is not an idiot. Hanabi is apologizing properly."

"Because I'm apologizing, I'm an idiot."

"No! Huahuo is serious!"

"Just an idiot."

"no."

"Yes."

"No"

The voice suddenly disappeared.

"Flowers."

Hanamaru Hanabi buried her head again, and was silent for a moment, as if she accepted the statement,

"I'm sorry Uesugi-kun. Hanabi is an idiot."

"Okay, now the idiot has become a big idiot."

"Why?" Hanamaru Hanabi couldn't understand why she was so stupid again.

"Because Hanabi is still so stupid," Uesugi Kai smiled again, "I didn't understand what I meant."

"Uesugi-kun, I'm sorry. Hanabi didn't understand what Uesugi-kun meant. I'm sorry."

His smile made Hanamaru Hanabi really think that he is getting more and more stupid, his little head is buried lower and lower, and his tone is getting lower and lower.

"sorry"

Kaoru Uesugi narrowed his pupils.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to be bullying her too much, and kept looking at the couple's position in the living room, wanting to stop her quickly and approach her quietly:
"Huahuo, calm down, I was wrong, I apologize to you."

After finishing speaking, Uesugi sighed silently in his heart, why did he play like a child just now, forgetting Hanabi's weak character since childhood.

When I was in kindergarten, I cried at every turn.

She was terrible back then.

"Ah."

Hanamaru Hanabi gathered herself together, nodded in response, and wanted to say something, but she still didn't speak.

Seeing her slowly stabilize, Kai Uesugi breathed a sigh of relief and continued to wash the dishes.

If Hanamaru Hanabi's appearance was seen by Hanamaru Yuki, wouldn't he be unable to get out of bed tomorrow?
It's better to finish washing the dishes quietly.

"Xiao Qi, do you really not consider staying here to rest?"

At the entrance, Mieko Hanamaru was smiling and looking at Kai Uesugi who was changing shoes below.

"No need, Auntie."

"If Xiaokai is willing to stay here and rest, I can consider letting you sleep in a room with Hanabi at night."

"Mom." Hanamaru Hanabi tugged at the corner of Hanamaru Mieko's clothes with her small hands.

"What does it matter?"

Hanamaru Mieko waved her hand without hesitation.

Uesugi Kai didn't expect his aunt to care about him so much, but he still shook his head and refused:
"No need, Auntie, the potted plants in my garden haven't been watered today, I have to go back first."

"Really don't think about it? Share a room with Huahuo at night!"

"."

Uesugi Kai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly said:

"It's really not necessary."

"never mind."

The repeated refusal made Hanamaru Mieko sigh and wave her hand:

"Go back quickly."

Uesugi Kai bowed slightly to her and said:

"I'm bothering you tonight."

With a creak, the door was gently closed by Uesugi Kai who was walking.

thump.
Mieko suddenly stretched out her right index finger and flicked Hanabi's forehead, making a crisp sound.

"Ugh-"

Hanamaru Hanabi took a step back, covering her head with her hands tightly, her eyes were red, and there was great doubt in her eyes.

"Mother?"

"You two children just don't know what is precious. You obviously have feelings for each other, but you still don't know how to move forward."

Saying that, Hanamaru Mieko took Hanamaru Hanabi's slender arm and walked into the living room.

"Dad, go upstairs first."

"what?"

Hanamaru Hiroki, who was watching the kendo competition in the living room, was immediately rushed upstairs by Hanamaru Mieko.

As soon as the noisy TV was turned off, Mieko Hanamaru took Hanamaru Hanabi and sat on the sofa, stroking her hand.

"Huahuo, what do you think of Xiaokai?"

"How to see. Me."

Hanamaru Hanabi looked at her mother's serious expression, lowered her head, and quickly retracted her hands, fiddling with her fingers restlessly on her legs, not ashamed to answer.

"Think about it again."

Her face flushed for a while, and she seemed to hold back for a long time before she said:

"Hanabi. Hanabi doesn't know."

"do not know?"

"Um"

Hanamaru Hanabi didn't dare to look into her mother's eyes, but she nodded anyway.

Mieko Hanamaru looked at her shy look, shook her head, and said softly to her:
"Huahuo, we moved here when you were three years old. At that time, you had the same personality as you do now, even worse. You rarely actively seek anything, and you are always forced to accept it. Always being bullied by other kids.

"At that time, the first friend you met was Xiao Zhao. After all, he was the only one who was different, very mature, like a little adult, and only he would care so much about you at that ignorant age."

"Every time you go out to play with him, you will bring back some snacks, and you are very happy to tell me what delicious food brother Zhao bought for you today."

"Is there any?" Hanamaru Hanabi asked in a low voice, now she only remembers that Kai Uesugi didn't like snacks very much since he was a child.

"You may have forgotten these things, but I still remember them very clearly."

Mieko Hanamaru looked at her daughter tenderly. She clearly remembered the details of the past, and this was a memory that belonged exclusively to her mother.

"That's why you follow him every day"

"It's been so many years, how much love you have for Xiao Zhao, as a mother, will I not know?"

Hanamaru Hanabi opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't come out.

"You childhood sweethearts grew up together, went to school, played, and accompanied each other. The relationship of more than ten years is an inseparable treasure between you."

"This kind of evil bond that has been born since childhood is a special and endless fate in life."

"You met the right person at the right time, and you and Aunt Ji Zi hope that you can cherish this rare relationship."

Hanamaru Mieko looked at her daughter, her bright purple eyes were just like her own:
"Let me ask you, Hanabi, if you and Kai separated after graduation because of their different goals, can you still have the current relationship despite all kinds of troubles and obstacles in life?"

Hanamaru Hanabi lowered his head, various figures of his back appeared in his mind, and whispered falteringly: "Hanabi. No. I don't know."

"It's because you don't know, that's why you have to make sure," Mieko Hanamaru shook her head in disappointment, "The same goes for that kid, Kai, who has already told him directly, but he still looks like that."

Mieko Hanamaru was stunned suddenly, and looked at the timid Hanamaru Hanabi in front of her:

"He won't, really doesn't like you?"
