Fairy Tale of Brothers War

Evening, Asahina's house, kitchen.

"Eri, help cool the sashimi on the chopping board, and then put the freshly cut salmon slices into the oil pan, slow down, the oil is very hot... don't put it in at this time, the oil is not hot enough. "Ukyo held the recipe in one hand and the spatula in the other, and at the same time did not forget to guide Eri in the next steps.

"Got it!" Eri stuck out her tongue, "Really, I've studied for so long anyway, why is brother Youjing still worried about me?"

Hearing Eili's complaining tone, You Jing shook his head slightly. He almost regretted letting this little guy into the kitchen. Now the little guy almost takes care of everything in the kitchen. On the contrary, he has nothing to do now. Little The guy is really working hard. Compared with her current cooking skills, her current cooking skills are even better than her own!

"Okay, it's out of the pot—"

Uncovering the lid of the pot, a strong fragrance rushed to the face, the mist cleared, and a fragrant salmon appeared in front of me.The deep-fried golden fish is sprinkled with a few handfuls of green onion and coriander, and the corner of the plate is a flower petal made of radish slices.Eili raised the knife and cut the fish open, revealing the crystal clear flesh inside, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, exuding a slight sweet smell.Then pour the sauce prepared earlier in the morning on it, and with a sound of "sting--", the sauce made of more than a dozen kinds of sesame oil and dense ingredients seeped into the small opening just cut, full of color, fragrance and taste A delicacy, as for the taste...

"Okay!"

Eili wiped the sweat from his forehead, and brought out a small sample that he had prepared extra, "Brother Youjing, try it."

Originally, the recipe for salmon was not so complicated, and it didn’t need to be seasoned or deep-fried. However, according to the experience of cooking during this period, Eri thinks that deep-frying is the best way to remove the fishy smell, and the fish itself is rich in protein. , Adding the sauce can also avoid the fried fish from being too greasy.But it's all about thinking, tonight, Eili bought salmon from the market, and wanted to try cooking, because it was the first time she tried cooking by herself, so one can imagine how she was feeling at the moment.

Seeing her uneasy appearance, You Jing only felt a little funny in his heart, took out a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, "Mmm..."

"How about it?"

"Hmm..." He took another piece of fish and put it in his mouth.

"Brother Youjing——" Really, it's this time, why is he still playing tricks.Eri frowned and looked at the silent You Jing, muttering in her heart when did her brother become so childish!

"Haha, okay, okay..." Ukyo wiped his mouth with a smile, and patted Eri on the head, "It tastes really good, and Eri's level is better than mine now!"

Although he knew that he was praising her so he deliberately exaggerated, but the words still sounded very comfortable. Obviously, sweet words are very useful to anyone.

"Eri has grown up now." Ukyo reached out and touched Eri's small face, "I can make such delicious food." After eating the samples on the plate, Ukyo slowly seemed to be moved Said: "Obviously when you first came to this house, you little one didn't know anything."

Eri put the fish on a fixed plate, and started to serve the rice again. Hearing You Jing's words, he looked up at him, and said angrily, "Nonsense, how can I be so stupid!"

You Jing laughed but said nothing.

Served two servings of rice and put it on the table, Eri wiped her hands.There was no one at home tonight, everyone was working overtime, work, even Mi was staying in school for training because of participating in the special student program, and it was said that he was preparing for some exam at the end of the month.In this way, in the empty mansion, there are only her and Youjing at home.

"Actually, I'm very lucky." After serving the dishes on the table, You Jing looked at Eri and said jokingly: "Eili's craftsmanship is really good, it's their loss that those people didn't eat it."

Knowing in her heart that You Jing said these words to comfort herself, Eri smiled and didn't make a sound.

You Jing looked at Eri, and couldn't help but recall the scene when he went to buy salmon with this little girl.Along the way, she always looked cheerful. Today is the weekend, and everyone will come back to get together - this is something that was agreed early in the morning.But the sky didn't go his way, and when it was approaching, he called back one after another, either something happened, or he was working overtime temporarily. Although the child didn't say anything, he was still very sad, right?

She obviously prepared so hard for this party and looked forward to it so much.

Thinking of this, You Jing glanced at Eri, the little girl was fighting against a piece of salmon in the bowl at the moment, but she looked a little absent-minded.He put down the bowl and chopsticks, raised his hand and patted Eri's little head lightly.

Eri looked at You Jing in bewilderment, his crystal black eyes were facing You Jing's blue eyes, he just looked at her straightly, after a long time, she heard him say in a slow voice:

"Don't be unhappy."

Eili nodded, and silently picked up the rice in the bowl.

Seeing Eri like this, You Jing was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by a piercing cell phone ringtone.He subconsciously wanted to refuse, but his rigorous personality towards work did not allow him to do so. He frowned, and Youjing withdrew his hand on Huili's shoulder, and dialed the phone instead...

Putting down the bowls and chopsticks, Eri looked at You Jing with a questioning look: "Is it a matter of work?"

You Jing nodded, "The witness has made some mistakes in wording and needs to be corrected. The situation is a bit urgent..." He suddenly paused, looking at Huili standing in front of him, if he also leaves, then the family will not be happy tonight. Is she the only one left?After thinking about it, he said, "Come with me later."

This is a last resort.

Eri lowered her head and grabbed the salmon meat on the plate with her chopsticks.You Jing's job is a lawyer, and in a sense, taking his family members to handle cases is easy to be criticized by others, and what's more, it will have a great impact on his reputation and work style. He took a hard bite of the tender and juicy fish, "No need, Brother You Jing, I'd better stay at home and finish the meal," she made a grimace at him, "I'm not full yet."

Looking at her eyes that seemed to be shrouded by the moist night mist, he was suddenly speechless. He was eloquent and eloquent in court, but he couldn't think of a word to comfort her at this moment, because At this time, those gorgeous rhetoric or concise words seem to be unable to play their due role - no matter what is said, it will only increase loneliness.

[Come with me in a while. 】

He just didn't want her to guard such an empty house alone, he just didn't want to see her lonely eyes.

But he also understands that this is impossible.

He can't take her there, this is not only a rule but also a responsibility.Family members or close relatives are not allowed to have access to any information related to the case. This is a matter of express regulations.But just now, just now, he actually said that out of conscious impulse, without thinking about anything, and said that irresponsible sentence.

After a long time, his throat moved, "I'll be back soon."

In the huge living room, only the golden desk lamp exudes warm orange light, and only this place is bright in the dark apartment—because this lamp is the only light source in the entire building.

Eili was sitting on the sofa, fumbling with the remote control in her hand, jumping from one station to another, but there was still no program that suited her taste, she threw away the remote control, and boldly ran back to the room to put the Julie, who was soundly asleep in the nest, was carried out.

Returning to the living room again, she looked at the dark room with only a little light, and suddenly felt a chill rising from her feet.She lowered her head to look at her little feet without shoes, and subconsciously grabbed the little squirrel in her arms.Julie's big fluffy tail is very soft, and it feels very comfortable to rub against her body.After thinking about it, she walked to the main switch again.

There was a sound of "pa--".

The originally dark room suddenly brightened up, but the light was quite dazzling!

She breathed a sigh of relief, and sat on the sofa with Julie in her arms.Inadvertently glanced at the kitchen and the dark places in the direction of the corridor, hesitated for a while, then got up again, still holding the sleeping little squirrel in her small arms, and walked quickly to the corner of the corridor. position, turn on all the switches there, and now the whole room is amazingly bright.

When walking back, Eili was surprised to find that the kitchen was so far away from the living room.She changed into a more comfortable position and leaned back against two sofa cushions. The sofa in the living room was so big that it could be used as a bed to sleep on.

——The family is really rich.

Eri recounted the words that made her feel the most since she came to this house.

Glancing at the little squirrel in her arms, she reached out and rubbed Julie's big fluffy tail.

"Julie," was the first sentence Eri said within four hours after You Jing left.Eri murmured as she brushed the squirrel's smooth and supple fur with her slender, white fingers.

"Julie, it would be great if you could speak. What is Julie's voice like? It must be very gentle and nice, like my sister? Well, or a little more tactful, softer, my favorite is this sound."

"Julie is really amazing. I read in the book that the lifespan of a squirrel is only six to 18 years, but Julie has been with me for 13 years. Hehe, I still remember when my sister went to school and my father went to the bar when I was young. That's how it is now, we're sitting together in the living room and waiting for them to come back."

"But at that time, the house was not as big as it is now, so it didn't feel real. As it is now, the bottom of my heart...well, it's a little empty. Julie, tell me, what's wrong with me?"

"Julie...Julie, don't sleep, please."

"Obviously you didn't sleep much before, why did you sleep so badly recently. Ah... I know, you must have eaten too much recently, so you can't move when you are so fat, you can only sleep in the nest Be good, don't sleep when you get up, okay?"

"If you sleep again, you will really become a fat squirrel. Maybe someday someone will treat you as a raccoon. Girls look better if they are slimmer!"

Eili patted the little squirrel's face helplessly, but it still slept soundly.

The TV was turned on loudly, and the lights in the room were also blinding.

Eili snuggled up next to Julie, and glanced at the clock. It was already past one o'clock in the morning. She put the cushions on the sofa into a comfortable position and leaned against it. After a long time, she finally fell asleep in a daze.

This place without family is just a house at best.

Guarding a home and guarding a house...

A second before she fell into a deep sleep, she pursed her lips.
