My daily life with the Shiina sisters

"What's wrong with your clothes? Did you have a fight with someone?" Shii Mahiru quickly stepped forward and helped him take off his coat.

"This is a long story. Today the student union's activity was to clean the pond, and then a girl fell into the water."

After hearing this, Shiina Mahiru didn't want to ask more questions. Although there was a huge gap between what he said and what was shown on his clothes, it was actually not very important. As long as he was fine, it was fine.

"Then come wash your hands and have dinner."

"I'll go take a shower first and change my clothes. I feel like Taozi didn't wash my clothes clean." After saying this, he walked back to his room.

Shiina Mahiru followed. "Then give me your new clothes and I'll wash them and hang them up for you now."

"Don't worry, it'll only take me five minutes. I've already washed it once at school."

After changing into pajamas, Imagawa Kaede casually wiped his hair with a towel. His hair was still a little wet. Shiina Mahiru felt that he was inexplicably handsome now.

"Why is it so abundant today?"

"Eat quickly, it's getting cold."

"The clothes were washed by Taozi before, and the water in that pond was quite dirty. Oh, by the way, don't think too much about it. The girl I rescued was the daughter of the president of the Asahi Shimbun. I don't have any interest in her..."

Shiina Mahiru, who was still listening, suddenly puffed up her face. Was she the kind of jealous woman? Did she need to be told every time to stop herself from thinking too much?

"Why didn't you check Line? And why didn't you call me back? Who wants to hear how you saved another girl?"

"Why would you ask someone to wash your clothes? Why don't you call me and ask me to deliver them to you?"

"…You don't know how nice Taozi is. She didn't despise me even though I was dirty. She supported me even though I was a little exhausted…"

Imagawa Kaede was so excited that she didn't notice Shiina Mahiru's expression at all.

"It's all because of others. I wash your clothes and cook for you every day, but you've never praised me like this. I guess you called me back today because you think I'm too controlling..."

As she thought about it, she poked the vegetable leaves in the bowl with her chopsticks, and gradually stopped responding to Imagawa Kaede's words.

Shiina Mahiru is also an ordinary little girl. Faced with this situation, she can't help but complain in her heart. Most of the time, she still judges by the actions rather than the heart.

Suddenly, Imagawa Kaede also reacted and wanted to slap himself twice. He quickly changed the subject and spoke in a deliberately loud voice.

"This is how I can understand the hard work Mahiru goes through every day. Mahiru, how about I take care of some housework in the future? Mahiru."

"Well, here!"

Seeing her wake up from her own world and quickly sit up straight, Imagawa Kaede thought she was so cute.

"I say, why don't I take charge of some housework in the future." As he said that, he ran to the chair next to Mahiru and held Mahiru's hand.

Mahiru subconsciously hid her injured hand, and after thinking for a while, she said:

"No need, I can do it alone." Although she didn't know why Imagawa Kaede suddenly started talking about this, she still subconsciously felt that Imagawa Kaede shouldn't do these little things.

"Today you also saw how Taozi washed my clothes. If I knew how to do it, I wouldn't have to trouble others next time, right?"

"Besides, I also want to help Mahiru share some of the responsibilities. I feel that you usually spend all your time taking care of me. I also thought about it at noon today. If I cling to you too much, you will feel annoyed."

After hearing this, Mahiru subconsciously wanted to refute, but she didn't know how to start. Should she say, "I like you sticking to me?" Mahiru couldn't say such words.

"Have you thought about the club you want to join, Mahiru?"

"Not ready yet."

"Then let me help you think about it. Swimming club pass, it won't be good if you expose too much, and track and field classes won't be too strenuous... ahem, how about Mahiru also come to the student council, then we can be together again."

As for Mahiru, after hearing his answer, she just rolled her eyes beautifully.

"This guy said so much, but he still wants me to go with him. Look at what you reflected on at noon! No, no, there's already enough gossip going on. If we go to the student union together, won't we be asked all kinds of questions?"

"I should definitely join a club, but I'll have to think about it a bit more."

"That housework thing..."

"Let's talk about it later. Let's eat first."

"No, Mahiru has been taking care of me all this time. Occasionally I want to take care of Mahiru."

"Okay then, go back and eat first." As she said this, she wanted to pull her hand back.

"What's wrong with your hand?" Imagawa Kaede asked puzzledly as he looked at her somewhat unnatural posture.

"No...it's okay, go back and eat."

"Oh, okay." Although he said this, he pulled her hand out like lightning when he passed by her.

"One tower, one." Even though the injury on his hand was not serious, he still cried out in surprise.

Seeing this, Imagawa Kaede quickly changed his position and held the wrist to look at it carefully, and the small wound was naturally seen by Imagawa Kaede.

"It's okay, I just got hurt accidentally while cutting vegetables, the wound isn't deep..."

"Don't move, sit here." Imagawa Kaede interrupted her with a cold face.

After saying that, Imagawa Kaede went to get a small first aid box, disinfected it carefully, and then put on a Band-Aid. Only then did he look relieved.

"I'll wash the dishes later. Be careful when you take a bath and don't let your hand touch the water." After saying this coldly, Imagawa Kaede continued to eat with his head down.

"It's okay, the bleeding has stopped."

After hearing what he said, Imagawa Kaede ignored her and just focused on eating.

After quickly finishing his meal, Imagawa Kaede went to the bathroom to wash the clothes he had taken off that day.

Originally, he was going to throw away the shirt that had been ravaged by Longzhutao, but he felt that if he kept it, it might have some unexpected effects.

When Shiina Mahiru finished her meal, Imagawa Kaede was still busy in the bathroom. Imagawa Kaede noticed the footsteps, and his originally skillful scrubbing movements suddenly became clumsy.

"Don't be angry, okay? There's really nothing wrong with my hand."

Upon hearing this, Imagawa Kaede paused, then said in a depressed tone:

"I'm angry with myself. If I hadn't rescued that girl in the afternoon, I could have seen your line and wouldn't have made you worry. If I hadn't made you worry, you wouldn't have cut yourself."

"No, it was my own carelessness..."

"Impossible. If you didn't have something on your mind, you wouldn't have cut yourself. I clearly said I wanted to make your life better, but the result is like this..."

Having said this, Imagawa Kaede originally wanted to ask, "Mahiru, am I useless?" But after considering an artistic technique of leaving blank space, he decided to stop there.

There weren't many pieces of clothes, so Imagawa Kaede quickly went to wash the dishes. Although Shiina Mahiru didn't start, she followed behind.

Imagawa Kaede had no choice but to speak:

"Mahiru, you should go and rest first, I'll take care of this."

"Um... the ingredients for tomorrow's breakfast and lunch box haven't been prepared yet."

"I can do it. I know a little bit about cooking."

"I……"

"Alright, alright, get out now, don't get in the way here. Go and have a rest, I'll be here for the next few days."

"Can you rely on me a little more? Just consider it as fulfilling a small wish of mine."

Having said that, Imagawa Kaede pushed her all the way into her room.

Imagawa Kaede couldn't help but feel a little helpless. Others showed off their acting skills and played tricks just to avoid housework, so why did it become like this for him?

If I hadn't deliberately made a fuss, I probably wouldn't have been able to get this housework.

Of course, Imagawa Kaede was not as simple as he thought. He could even point out some points about this behavior.

For example, firstly, pretending to be tough is a test, but also to make Mahiru get used to it.

Imagawa Kaede is a man after all. Although Mahiru's personality should not make him act unreasonably in the future, he still has to be prepared for the worst. At least when it comes to making decisions on some major matters, he doesn't want the person next to him to have different opinions from him.

It is said that although a husband and wife are two people, they can only speak with one voice to the outside world. To put it bluntly, the husband should follow the wife or the wife should follow the husband.

The second is the pure gentle trap. By analogy, most boys are more careful and pay attention to details and romance when pursuing girls, which is needless to say.

The third is guilt. Yes, it is pure guilt. You can try to observe that some people become inexplicably diligent after returning home. Nine out of ten times, they have done something. (This does not only refer to doing bad things.)

(There is one more.)
