Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 312

Akane Kirino dodged backwards, Hongzi put down the nozzle, and each was in a hurry.

"Feel sorry!"

"It's all right..."

Although she dodged quickly, Kirino Akane's camisole and hot pants were still soaked a lot, but she didn't pay much attention to it, but was a little surprised by her reaction.

Hongzi was even more surprised than she was.

"...to become Soya's family?"

"Huh? Just like Bell." Akane Kirino said casually.Looking at the nozzle that was still spraying water, she looked at Hongzi who was a little dazed and anxious, "Why don't you let me do it myself?"

"No." Hongzi immediately refused, and then realized that she was talking about the matter in front of her, and added another sentence: "There are dead spots that I can't wash by myself, let me help you. Turn around."

"Ok."

Akane Kirino turned around and looked back at her again: "There shouldn't be much stain on the back, right?"

Hongzi raised the nozzle and rinsed his left thigh, "Not much."

"Just take a shower." Akane Kirino said suddenly, "The clothes are already wet."

Hongzi nodded, got up and turned off the nozzle, ready to go out.

"Don't Hongzi wash together?"

"Hey..." She was taken aback for a moment, then thought about it, and quickly agreed, "Okay."

She went to fill the bathtub, Akane Kirino walked to the door of the bathroom, "Soya—"

He appeared soon, poked his head to look at her at the door of the living room: "what's the matter?"

"I want to take a shower."

"This time? Whatever you want."

She went on to say, "Hongzi also needs to be washed."

Zongya was not surprised, "Do whatever you want."

"So Soya, go and help us get the clothes we need to change. Hongzi and I have already stripped naked."

"..."

Soya pursed his lower lip, Hongzi's voice came from the bathroom: "Akane! What did you say to him—"

"help yourself."

Ignoring Akane Kirino's complaints, he turned and went back to the living room.

"It's like ordering her boyfriend." Zhao Wuling said, "Although she doesn't have such a consciousness yet."

"..."

Soya pretended not to hear, and sat down by the side.

She also sat down, didn't say anything else, and looked at the chaotic sky in his eyes together.

Taking the clothes and going downstairs, passing the living room, looking at the two figures with their backs facing away, one tall and one lower, Kirino Qian found that the restless feeling in her heart suddenly subsided a lot.

"Family..."

She was subconsciously avoiding thoughts that disturbed her.

Back in the bathroom, the hot water in the bathtub was almost full.

"It's about the same temperature."

"I'll try...it's ok."

Kirino Akane and Akiko took off their clothes, rinsed their bodies separately, and then sat in the bathtub.

"I feel the countryside, my schedule has changed, and I took a bath at about this time yesterday." Akane Kirino said.

Hongzi sat on the other side, remembering the three of them taking a bath together yesterday, she smiled, but after her private conversation with Chao Wuling, the smile faded away.

"Mom just said, come pick us up the day after tomorrow." She said abruptly.

"yes."

Akane Kirino leaned against the bathtub, her body relaxed, "There are still two days left."

"Um……"

"After Hongzi goes back, he will go to Hokkaido next."

"probably."

She has lost interest in the trip she has already arranged.

"I don't want to go anymore..." / "Remember to bring me a souvenir."

The two spoke at the same time, and were taken aback at the same time.

"Eh?"

"I can't bear to leave Qian." Hongzi made love quickly, "I'm going to be separated from you for a week, it feels like the sky is falling."

"Hahaha--"

Akane Kirino smiled happily, "I will send messages to Hongzi every day."

"Well, it's okay."

"It turns out that Hongzi can't leave me so much."

Hongzi slid down, half of his face was submerged in the water, and after a while, he spit out a string of air bubbles.

"Cy is my most important friend."

The smile on Kirino Akane's face never stopped, "Hmm~"

She continued to slide, completely submerged in the water.

The roar in the ear is like an illusion.She opened her eyes, looking at the blurred and distorted water world, everything was shaking, everything was shaking.

Two hands were stretched out towards her.

wow.

Being pulled back to the surface, Hongzi took a deep breath.After wiping it on her face, she lay down on the edge of the bathtub.

Akane Kirino also leaned over and huddled with her.

"What are your plans, Sis?"

"what?"

Hongzi turned her head, "I went to Hokkaido, and Soya went to Kanto for a few days."

Akane Kirino thought for a while, "I don't know."

"If Soya really doesn't want to take me to Kanto, I'll just stay at home."

There was some displeasure in her tone.

"He has very important things to do." Hongzi said, she didn't know whether she didn't want the two of them to become closer where she couldn't see, or she simply didn't want her to affect Zongya's schedule.

Akane Kirino sighed, turned over again, and leaned her back against the edge.

"I know that too."

Hongzi looked at her side face, her long hair was simply coiled behind her head, and a few strands of black strands around her ears were wet and stuck together.

"Akane seems to be clinging to Soya more and more now."

She didn't expect that she would really say this, so she was particularly concerned about her reaction.

"Really?" Akane Kirino was stunned for a moment, "It's not particularly clingy, is it? We usually stay together."

"But Sis is different."

"What's the difference?"

Hongzi was silent for a while, "Qian is more active."

Akane Kirino thought for a while, "Is that because Soya is too lazy? Or besides the things at the shrine, he likes to be led by the nose... Well, it's a bit too much to say... Soya is more Like to be passive?"

She wanted to explain it in another way, but Hongzi said that she already understood, "I can understand what you mean."

Hongzi sighed again, "Maybe that's it."

Akane Kirino didn't speak for a long time, she was thoughtful.

"Cy?"

"I was wondering... When Soya goes to Kanto, will he be with Sugawara-senpai?"

Hongzi was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized that he hadn't thought about the real rival in love for a long time.

"I don't know...but since Soya went to Kanto because of their affairs, it's very likely that senior sister will go with her."

Akane Kirino patted the water in front of her, "I knew it."

Hongzi also turned around and said, "They have business to do, not to play."

"Hongzi said that just now."

"Ah... um."

Kirino Akane arched her legs, her body slid down a little, her head was resting on the edge of the bathtub, and she stared at the small window in a daze.

With the sound of water, she pinched the four-leaf clover pendant hanging on her chest.

When she was thinking, she always liked to hold or pinch something. It used to be an amulet, but now the amulet was given to Soya, and it was replaced by this pendant that Soya gave back.

Hongzi leaned aside without disturbing, waiting for her question or conclusion after thinking about it.

She was a little apprehensive.

Akane Kirino may announce that she still wants to go to Kanto with Soya, or give up this plan completely; or she may suddenly realize that what she really cares about is not going to Kanto, but Soya, and then think of more...

For example, the essence of this concern.

The bystanders are certainly sober, but it is often only a trivial clue that wakes up the confused authorities. Hongzi can't help but start to ruminate on every word he just said to her.

And Akane Kirino didn't give her a chance to think too much, and suddenly said:

"If Soya had placed a stone under that wooden board just now, wouldn't it be able to make the angle more gentle, and then allow more crucian carp to swim up?"

"..."

Hongzi admitted that he had thought too much just now.

Some tense mood suddenly eased, and her body also relaxed. She raised her feet and put them on the edge of the bathtub.

"Maybe I can't find a suitable stone nearby. I think Soya found that stone after searching for a long time."

Kirino Qian also imitated her and put her feet up, and sighed regretfully: "Then there is no other way."

"There are rocks under it, and the wooden boards are not easy to fix, isn't it? The upstream water has been pounding." Hongzi even thought about this matter seriously.

"That's right."

She thought about it again before accepting that it was the best choice according to local conditions.

After soaking in the bathtub for more than 20 minutes, the two came out.

Back in the living room, Soya and Asagiri were lying on the floor beside the edge, and they didn't react too much when they heard the movement, they just looked up.

Akane Kirino strode forward, raised her foot and shook Soya's face.He just turned his head to the side and didn't bother to raise his hand.

She took another seat beside him, and Hongzi had to sit next to her.

"It's much more comfortable to take a bath. The water in the bathtub has not been drained yet. Soya is going to soak for a while?"

"No, I'll wash it at night."

"Why is Soya so lazy?"

"If you two soak for a few more minutes, I might fall asleep."

Akane Kirino also lay down, "I've already slept in this morning."

"It's like this in summer." Sogu yawned, feeling a little more energetic than before, "Especially in the afternoon, if you don't do something, it's easy to get sleepy."

"I think so too. So what's next?"

He didn't even look at her, "Sleep."

"...It's boring."

"You should have realized earlier: boredom is the normal state of life."

This is the last thing Akane Kirino wants to accept, so she doesn't want to talk to him for the time being.

After riding a long circle, I took a bath for more than 20 minutes, and it was only after two o'clock in the afternoon.After sitting for a while, she had nowhere to vent her energy. She was not sleepy at all, but was eager to do something.

"Let's find something to do."

"I agree, as long as I'm not included." Soya responded with his eyes closed.

Kirino Akane was a little dissatisfied, "Sleeping at home all day, we ran so far to the countryside, what on earth are we doing here?"

He opened one eye: "Didn't you come to accompany Grandma Hongzi?"

"..."

She opened her mouth, and immediately misfired.

Speaking of grandma, Sogu continued: "If you really have nothing to do, you can help Hongzi's grandma go to the vegetable field and pull weeds."

Akane Kirino thought about it, and really got up to find grandma.

Hongzi looked back for a while, and took her place.

"She doesn't know the way, so Hongzi should take her along," Zong Gu said again.

"No, Qian went to the vegetable field once yesterday..." She suddenly understood, "You want to send me away."

"I mean, with Hongzi following her, even if she behaves wildly, she won't go too far."

Hongzi pursed her lips, and reluctantly accepted his words: "Qian still knows how to measure."

After a while, Akane Kirino came from the warehouse behind with a small shovel and gloves.

"I'm weeding, are you coming?"

Both Soya and Chao Wuling shook their heads, Hongzi looked at the two of them, but stood up anyway.

"Wait for me, I'm going to change my shoes."

Akane Kirino came closer and scraped Soya's bare soles with a small shovel, "Isn't it boring to stay here?"

"It's not boring." He moved his feet, "It always takes a while to settle down, for example, I'm thinking about things right now."

"What's the matter?" she continued.

Soya also continued to make up: "I can't say it now, I will tell you when I understand it."

"Hmph, so mysterious."

Zhao Wuling next to him sat up and looked at Akane Kirino: "It's something related to you."

"what?"

"..."

Soya glanced at her immediately, and Zhao Wuling only said this, then got up and went back to the living room to drink water.

"My business?" Akane Kirino looked at her, and then at Soya who was also sitting up.

"Well... don't you feel bored? I'm thinking about what to do tomorrow."

She smiled, "Think about it carefully, it's best to tell me when I come back."

"I will."

"Don't fall asleep."

"Falling asleep means I think deeply."

She smiled, and suddenly moved closer, "I have something to ask Zongya."

"..."

Zongya backed away, and then asked: "What's the matter?"

"Soya will go to Kanto in a few days, will he go with Sugawara-senpai? How long will he go and when will he come back?"

He was taken aback for a moment, and said, "I went to Kanto to..."

"——It's for business, right? I already knew." Akane Kirino waved a small shovel in his face to express her dissatisfaction, "Why are you nervous, I don't want to go."

Soya smiled, "Really."

"Then will you take me there?"

"Without."

"Hmph, that's true."

She has no obsession with going to Kanto, and she still doesn't want to stay at home alone.

"Kyoko won't go, she doesn't have time." Soya said, and looked back at Zhao Wuling who was drinking water in the living room, "But Suzu will come with me. I plan to go back to the Children's Welfare Institute in Sendai, she I want to go too."

Akane Kirino was startled, and only then did she know his plan, and asked for no reason: "Soya won't stay there, will he come back?"

"Of course." Zong Gu signaled her to feel relieved, "There is no one or anything worthy of my stay over there."

Akane Kirino sat down and looked at him: "Is there any over here?"

"..."

Sogu looked at her, and looked away when he nodded: "Of course."

"Who?" she asked again.

"Everyone."

Only then did Akane Kirino show a smile, "We will live together after we agree, Soya can't just leave halfway."

He pursed his lower lip, "About this..."

She came up again, "Are you going back on your word?"

"……No."

Zong Gu thought for a while, "I mean we should keep Hong Zi a secret now, and tell her when the time is right."

"Don't worry." The small shovel was waving left and right in her hand, indicating that Akane Kirino was in a good mood at the moment, "No one can dig out a trace of secrets from my mouth."

Zonggu didn't believe it, but he didn't show it, underestimating her would only cause more trouble, "Be careful on the road."

"I still have to wait for Hongzi..."

When she turned her head, Hongzi, who had changed her shoes, was coming from the other side, with a bucket in her hand.

"Grandma asked me to bring some vegetables back by the way."

"Well, let's go then."

The two left side by side, and their figures quickly disappeared around the corner of the yard.

Chao Wuling brought two cups of barley tea over, water droplets condensed on the transparent cup wall, and it was cold for a while.

"Thank you."

Soya drank half a cup in one breath, and the drowsiness that was disturbed by Akane Kirino completely disappeared.

"It's normal to be bored." She suddenly repeated what he said just now.

Soya put down his glass, "This sentence is indeed more convincing if Suzu speaks."

The longer the life, the more dull and boring it is, especially when the length extends to hundreds of thousands of years.

Chao Wuling sat down beside him, "Do you want to have a fun time?"

Soya immediately thought of her "joke" just now, and shook his head: "It's troublesome if it's too funny, and it's fine as it is now."

"There are still quite a long, boring years ahead."

"Can it be longer than the years that Ling has experienced?"

Chao Wuling looked at him again, but didn't answer.

Soya didn't care, and drank the remaining half cup of iced barley tea in one gulp.

The clouds scattered in the sky, revealing the blue sky, and the sun that disappeared for most of the day also reappeared, sending more heat to the ground.

The boring time passed neither fast nor slow, and the two sat or lay down beside the edge, chatting about the present or the past without saying a word.

"...After leaving the Children's Welfare Institute two years ago, didn't Ling go back?"

"Ah."

"I don't know how many people I know are still there."

"Not much will change."

"Well, except for the children who have to leave the orphanage when they reach the age, there shouldn't be many people who will be picked up... I still remember their appearance."

Zonggu stared straight at a corner of the yard where there was nothing, and fell into a certain memory of the past: "I still remember that my previous plan was to return to the orphanage after finishing my studies, and take care of the children in the orphanage like a teacher They... don't know when they were thrown into the corner of memory."

Chao Wuling shook her head: "That place is too small, there is a stage in this world that is more suitable and needs you."

Soya laughed, "It feels like being placed high hopes by the elders."

"..."

She looked over, "Do you think I'm old?"

"Not at all. Since appearance doesn't change, age is just a number... Does Suzu care about age?"

"I care about you."

Soya smiled a little complicatedly, and nodded.

Not long after, Akane Kirino and Hongzi finished their work and returned to Motohashi's house, which shows that there is very little fun in the vegetable field.

"Has Soya thought of any fun ideas?"

"Well……"

"I knew it. But it's all right, I figured it out."

Akane Kirino sat down beside him, flicking her long hair, "Let's go to the mountains to watch the sunrise."
