Black Basket - The World's No. 1 Idiot's Guide to Growing a Man

"It hurts!" Wei Ye rubbed his forehead: "Mom, don't flick someone else's forehead all of a sudden."

"It's not good for you to fall asleep on the sofa." Aoki's mother sighed: "Really, there is no morning exercise or homework, how can you be so tired--you promised to cook today, go!"

"Yes..." Wei Ye rubbed his forehead and subconsciously touched his back.

Putting on a ridiculous floral lace apron, Yui also entered the kitchen.

All the materials have been washed by Aoki's mother, and put on the chopping board, Wei Ye grabbed the knife and sliced ​​it finely.

Halfway through the cut, Wei Ye suddenly stopped, pinching the space between his brows: "Why do I keep dreaming lately..."

"What?" Aoki's mother, who was watching beside her, didn't hear clearly.

"... Mom, remember when I fell from a tree when I was a kid?"

Aoki's mother showed a dissatisfied expression when she heard it: "How can I not remember! I climbed a tree in the kindergarten and fell from the tree... Fortunately, it was not particularly high, but it was actually on the ground, which was horrifying. I almost had a spinal problem... ...Fortunately, as long as you raise it, you can recover..."

Wei also continued to stir-fry the chopped vegetables, listening to her mother nagging.

"When I received the call from the teacher, I was so frightened that I almost cried... Speaking of which, Ryota was there at the time, comforting me while crying, don't worry, Auntie, Yui will definitely get better... Ahh, Ryota was so cute when she was young..."

Weiye listened to what happened when she was a child for a while, and when her mother talked about being hospitalized and discharged, and then when she talked about graduating from kindergarten, Weiye's meals happened to be out of the oven.

Aoki's mother held the rice bowl and commented on it. After dinner, she gave an evaluation that was barely palatable.

"Well, if you can take care of yourself, mom, I can go to Australia with peace of mind..." Aoki's mother washed the dishes, and told Yui beside her: "Remember to lock the doors and windows before going to bed at night, and don't forget to turn off the electrical appliances. Mobile phones are not allowed in the bathroom! Take out the hair dryer and use it again! Don’t put too much detergent when washing clothes, it’s not good for the skin, and..."

After listening patiently, Weiye repeated it to reassure Aoki's mother: "I remember it all, so don't worry, I can take care of myself by myself."

Aoki's mother smiled, looking a little lonely.

Wei also hugged her mother's shoulders, turned her head and buried her head in her mother's neck: "...I miss you now."

Aoki's mother seemed a little proud of her son's rare acting like a baby, but also a little embarrassed: "I will speak nicely."

"Only to Mom."

"Hmph, when you find a girl you like, you will definitely throw me aside."

"...No," Wei Ye said softly, "The only woman I like is my mother."

Aoki's mother pursed her lips and smiled: "I will speak nicely."

Wei didn't answer, just smiled.

Mom, I'm sorry.

Maybe it's more than just nice.

"Yuiya, your face is a little red, are you feeling unwell?" Aoki's mother turned her head and found that her son's cheeks were flushed, and he didn't seem to be in a good condition.

"It's okay," Wei Ye smiled, "It's just that the heating in the room is too hot."

"That's good, you go up and do your homework."

"Well," Wei also straightened up: "Mom, shall I take you to the airport tomorrow?"

"No need," Aoki's mother said, "Take a good class and don't ask for leave."

"……understood."

Wei also went upstairs, found the pills given by the school doctor from her school bag, and took two.

But taking the medicine didn't help, and when writing at the desk afterwards, Yuiya still sneezed three times in a row.

"...I have a cold." Wei also rubbed her nose, regretting that she didn't take a rest at noon.

He worked hard to finish his homework, and Wei Ye put the homework in his schoolbag when he heard someone calling his name.

The owner of the voice was of course Kise.

Wei Ye didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but the voice calling him from the opposite side was getting louder and louder. There was a posture that I would keep shouting if you didn't open the window, so I had to open the window: "What?"

"Weiya!" Kise stared at Weiye, "Why didn't you wait for me today, let's go home together!"

"..." Because I have a headache and feel uncomfortable, and because I don't want to walk with you.

Wei also thought so, but couldn't say it out, so she kept silent.

Seeing that Wei Wei was unwilling to answer, Huang Lai was a little anxious, but he was unwilling to force the other party, so he changed the subject: "Also, what happened at noon..."

"Don't talk about that, okay?" Wei Ye rubbed his eyebrows: "It's not an important thing, and it's already passed."

"Since it's not an important thing, why didn't you tell me." Huang Lai lay on the balcony railing, her voice full of grievances: "Not only what happened at noon today, but also what happened yesterday when I was bullied."

"...It's just an insignificant prank." Wei also pressed his dizzy head: "Who told you that I was bullied."

He originally thought that with Kise's dullness, as long as he didn't say it, Kise would never find out, not to mention that the girls were so cute and lovely in front of him, it was impossible to imagine that they would go too far of pranks.

Kise pointed at her fingers in embarrassment: "Little Heizi told me."

Wei also felt that the matter of treating Mr. Phantom to a milkshake could be put aside.

"...Weiya...I'm sorry...I don't know anything that little blackie knows...Yesterday...Yesterday you were wronged all day long, and when I saw you at night, I still blamed you Don't smile at me," Huang Seyue said, his voice lowered: "...Weiya...you must hate me."

Wei Ye looked at Kise for a long time before nodding: "That's right, I hate you."

Kise raised her head suddenly: "Yuiya! You...you really...hate me? Really?"

"Just kidding."

"Huh—" Kise relaxed his tense expression, but immediately became depressed again: "No, Yuiya, you really still hate me, right? So don't tell me anything."

Wei also found that, for the first time since childhood, he failed to change the subject to Kise.

Huang Lai said lonely: "Obviously, no matter what happened in the past, we would not hide it from each other... Moreover, all the things in the past two days were caused by me, but I hid at home and left you alone... I'm sorry, Yuiya...QAQ, yes, you should hate me..."

Wei also rubbed the center of his brows, his headache became more severe, and he didn't know whether it was the effect of Kise's thoughts or the symptoms of a cold.

"If you just want to say this," Wei Ye gestured to close the window: "I'm going to bed, and I have to get up early tomorrow morning."

"Wait, Yuiya!"

"what?"

"I, I just want to say... yes, that's right! I've taken care of the school affairs... no one will play tricks on you again..." Kise stopped Weiya from closing the window in a panic.

"That's good. To be honest, it still bothers me if people always play tricks on me."

"...I'm sorry," Kise gripped the balcony railing tightly: "The people who played tricks on you... are all girls who have a good relationship with me."

"I know," Wei Ye said absent-mindedly, "You don't think that I haven't found the perpetrator of the prank yet... In fact, those pranks are quite simple, they just want to see me angry, so you don't have to pay too much attention to it. "

"...No, the one who takes the lead must definitely pay the price." Kise puffed up her cheeks unhappily, and it didn't look like she was joking.

On the contrary, Wei was a little surprised.

Although Kise didn't pretend to be polite to those who disagreed with her, she was more or less gentle towards girls. She always spoke and acted with affection, and most of the time she always had a smile on her face.

"It's not necessary, is it? She just wanted to scare me."

"It's all caused by her, so it's natural to pay the price?" Huang Lai snorted coldly and turned his head away, obviously saying that there was no room for further persuasion on this matter.

"……up to you."

"As for... those rumors... although, although I haven't been able to completely shut them up," Huang Lai scratched his head irritably: "But Weiye, don't worry... I will definitely..."

"It's okay to let those rumors spread." Anyway, the content will not be worse than it is now.

"How can you let it go!" Kise straightened up abruptly, his angry expression was clear at a glance: "It's obviously a classmate! You usually teach them homework and help them on duty, whether it's a cultural festival or a sports meeting! The hardest thing is always Push it to you! But now?! No one speaks for you! On the contrary, they keep spreading those rumors—in short! I absolutely, want them all to shut down..."

"Idiot." Wei Ye sighed.

"Wait!! Yuiya why are you—"

"They are just spreading rumors, instead of bullying me together, they are already thinking that I help them a lot in normal times, well, this is also the benefit of the relationship network, although I didn't intend to use the relationship network here. Above." Wei also looked at Huang Lai's depressed expression, and shook his head: "Besides, rumors, if you ignore him, it's just rumors. Leave it alone, and no one will continue to discuss it after a month." Although the gap is still there.

"...No," Kise retorted unhappily, "Wei, you are too gentle!"

Yui also didn't understand where Kise's evaluation came from - he felt that he was not gentle anyway.

"Every time I say I don't care, it's okay, I'm fine," Kise leaned on the railing depressedly: "Occasionally, you can be self-willed and act like a baby to me! Just say it when you feel bad! No matter what it is, I will listen carefully !"

Wei Ye's heart warmed: "I—"

"Aren't we best friends?!"

"..."

Yui wanted to smile, but couldn't.
