Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 336
The next morning, Soya, who was lying on the hotel bed, woke up early.

In order not to be affected by the morning sun, he closed the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows before going to bed, but he naturally woke up earlier than yesterday.

"Because I'm going to see them today..."

Staring at the ceiling in a daze for a while, Soya couldn't draw any other conclusions.

Chao Wuling slept next to her, maintaining her old habit of not wearing an inch.

Pulling the quilt towards her chest, Soya sat up and got off the bed from the other side.

The Qixi Festival has ended, but the decorations of the Qixi Festival such as various paper flowers, colored balls, and green bamboos on the streets have not been completely removed.The long streamers hang down, retaining the passers-by, but the festival is over and the old love is no longer there, even if they are reluctant, not many people are willing to stay.

After standing by the window and watching for a while, Soya turned his head and looked at Asagiri who sat up.

"The bell is awake too."

"Ah."

"Get up, then. After breakfast, we'll go to the cemetery together."

"Ah."

When dressing her in the past, Soya saw the mobile phone by the bed blinking.

Picking it up, Hongzi sent him a message at two o'clock last night, and he was already in a deep sleep at that time.

Hongzi: Did Akane say anything to Soya?

"..."

Soya couldn't help sighing, wishing that time could be turned back for a few seconds, so that he could go back to before he saw the news.

He didn't want to be troubled by this matter when he went to visit the grave later.

"Does she know too?"

After glancing at the news, she looked at Wuling and him again. She already knew about Akane Kirino's abnormality last night.

"Kirino probably told her something too." Soya said.

She didn't think it was a big deal at all, but she incited, "Ask her what she plans to do, choose you or choose her."

"..."

Sogu put down the phone, picked up the thin piece of cloth between her calves, and pulled it to the center of her legs before releasing it, "Forget it, she's probably still sleeping at this point."

Chao Wuling stood up on the bed and adjusted herself.

"You're running away."

Soya picked up another piece of underwear, "I don't want to face this kind of thing when I just woke up and didn't even eat breakfast."

She put his shoulder on his shoulder, "You are running away."

"Yes... I'm just escaping. Let's talk about it when we go back."

"Whatever you want."

"This kind of thing can only be explained clearly when face to face, isn't it?"

"Ah."

"This is also to better solve the problem..."

"It's just escaping."

"Ok."

After hugging for a while, she let go, and he continued to dress her.

After staring at his face for a while, he suddenly lowered his head towards Wuling and kissed him on the forehead.

Soya just looked at her, put on the shirt, and buttoned it up.

"Are you still a couple today?"

"Ah."

After getting dressed, the two went downstairs to have breakfast, and then set off to visit the grave.There are several places to go today.

The weather is sunny, not yet hot.Soya took the Asagiri bell and got on the tram, going round and round to return to the place where he lived many years ago.

"It's here so soon...I used to think that this side is far away."

Walking out of the station, Soya looked around for a while, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar area in front of him.

The earthquake and monstrous tsunami seemed to be just yesterday, and the new city has been rebuilt on the ruins.

"Every time I come back here, I feel different from the last time I came back."

"Ah."

"Ten years have passed since the earthquake. I heard from Mr. Dan Sheng that those who fled their homes for refuge seem to be gradually coming back here now."

Zhao Wuling nodded again.

Taking a deep breath, Soya ended his memories and took her hand, "Let's go, let's go to the flower shop first."

"it is good."

According to the route he remembered, Soya found the flower shop he used to go to very smoothly, and the cemetery was not too far away.

"Fortunately, it's still operating here."

The two walked over, and all kinds of flowers were packed in baskets or small pots. They were colorful and filled the inside and outside of the store, fresh and beautiful.

The sun is bright and the flowers are full, which is the time when they are at their freshest.

"welcome."

There were two people busy in the store. When a customer came to the door, one of the clerks came over, "Hi, what flowers do you need?"

Sogu lowered his head and glanced among the flowers, and first picked out a few bunches of white and yellow summer chrysanthemums.

"This, and this... take two more."

"Okay." The clerk picked up the flower branches, "Are these enough?"

He paused for a while, then pointed to a clump of red chrysanthemums next to him, "Two of these, too."

"Ok."

The clerk picked two branches, Sogu watched from the side, went into the flower bush to pick a few branches, and handed them to him.

"That's all."

"OK, just a second."

The clerk took the flowers to pack, and Soya followed, ready to pay the bill.

"Mom likes red flowers."

"Yeah." Chao Wuling took his hand.

After paying the money and taking the bag containing a large bunch of chrysanthemums, the two left the flower shop and walked to the cemetery.

"I remember it was this way."

"Ah."

After walking for a while, the two stopped at the traffic lights at the intersection.

Soya held the flower in one hand, and the Chaogiri bell in the other, looking at the hillside ahead, "Are you tired?"

"Fortunately."

It wasn't the first time she had come here. She had accompanied him several times when he was still in the Children's Welfare Institute.

"I used to come here in my uncle's car... I don't think it takes so long to go from the flower shop to the cemetery."

"Ah."

Soya seldom came alone.

Every year on his parents' memorial day, a relative in the family would come to pick him up at the station.After sweeping the grave together, they would basically take him home for a meal, and then send him to the station, or drive him back to the orphanage.

The red light turned green, and the two of them crossed the road and continued on.

The cemetery is halfway up the mountain, Sogu and Chao Wuling climbed up the stairs for the first time, and they were not too tired.When we arrived at the parking lot, the cemetery was right in front of us.

Stopping at the top of the stairs, Soya looked at the cemetery above and straightened his waist.

"There's no one there today."

Half a step behind Chao Wuling, pulling his arm, panting, "Today is just an ordinary day..."

"makes sense."

In the past, when he came here, the cemetery was full of grave-sweepers on the same day—many people's memorial day was on the same day.

"It feels a little deserted."

"The cemetery is not a lively place."

Soya smiled briefly, asked her to take the flowers, and went to the side to get the tools for cleaning the tombstone.

woohoo-

He took half a bucket of water under the faucet, he carried the bucket, and Zhao Wuling held flowers, and the two walked between the tombstones, and soon found the cemetery of Sogu's family.

"Father, mother, long time no see."

Soya greeted him, then fell silent.

Chao Wuling looked at him from the side, and then at the tombstone.

After standing for a while, Soya took a long breath, then cleaned the rag, and began to wipe the dust on and off the tombstone.

Kneeling down towards Wuling, he sorted out the big bunch of chrysanthemums he bought earlier, and placed them in front of the tombstone.

From top to bottom, brushing the words [Tomb of the Soya Family] on the front of the tombstone, Soya bent down again, scrubbing the rag in the bucket.

"In the past two years, uncle and the others should have come to worship."

"Ah."

After wringing out the water, he raised his head and looked at the surname on the tombstone.

"I just don't know if they counted me during the worship... Well, I won't be a missing person now."

Chao Wuling didn't speak, and continued to place chrysanthemums in front of the tombstone.

Wipe the front, then the sides and the back, to wipe off the dust and dirt. The marble tombstone under the sun is as bright as new, reflecting the blue sky in the distance.

After receiving the last bouquet of chrysanthemums from her, Soya also knelt down in front of the tombstone.

"It's so beautiful." He looked at the red and white flowers in his hand, then lowered his head and sniffed.

"Ah."

He placed the chrysanthemum in the middle where it was specially reserved for Wuling, and he adjusted it a little.

"Mom should like it too."

She nodded.

It's been a long time since he came to visit his parents, so Soya felt that he should explain his whereabouts to them.

"In the past two years, I accidentally fell into the underworld. When I came out again, I had already come to Kinki. I was taken in by a very cute girl, and I lived there..."

And, future plans.

"...with the support of all kinds of friends and elders, I lived a good life there, and now I can live on my own. I want to stay there. So... I can't come back often in the future .”

When his parents died, Soya was only seven years old, and he hadn't received any expectations from his parents other than "being a good boy". Now that there is a difference between yin and yang, he can no longer know whether they are satisfied with his choice.

"Working for an organization may be dangerous occasionally, but most of the time you can save yourself from danger and save a lot of people... It should be said that there is no job more suitable for me than this. No one else can do it better than me. better."

"Of course, I continue to go to school. The school is next to Lake Biwa, a very beautiful and quiet place. Then, I also met many girls."

Zhao Wuling glanced at him, and then he held his hand.

"This is the bell that has been here a few times before, and it is also my family now."

"There are three other girls." Soya paused, honestly revealing his heart, "Although I'm very greedy, I want them to be my family too. In my own way."

"..."

Zhao Wuling glanced at him again, but still didn't say anything.

"Whether it's ability or morality, they each have different requirements and expectations for 'Soya Yoshiaki', and I don't want to let them down..." Soya suddenly sighed, "People are best at finding reasons for their actions , I am no exception."

"I want to get all of them without losing anything, and I don't want to lose any of them - that's what I really want."

Chao Wuling was finally sure that what he said to his late parents was also for her and himself.

Perhaps influenced by the vaguely awakened Akane Kirino, he began to face his own desires honestly.

Although it seems that he still has the most conservative attitude.

Conservative means that he believes in himself more, still does not want her to intervene, and will still choose to respond passively, which means that progress will be quite slow.

In other words, he needs a lot of time...

"So be it."

Soya patted his knees and stood up, "The next time I come back, it may be at the end of the year or next spring. Next, I plan to visit Uncle Eiji and the others, and return to Kinki tomorrow morning."

After speaking to the tombstone, he stretched out his hand again and pulled Chao Wuling up as well.

The two bowed goodbye.

"Let's go."

"Ah."

Picking up the bucket and rag, cleaning them and putting them back to their original place, Soya pulled the Asagiri bell and went down the mountain along the same road.

Back near the station, the two found another shop specializing in alcoholic beverages, and picked out a bottle of quite expensive Junmai Daiginjo as a gift for their next visit.

"I hope Uncle Ying Er won't be shocked..."

After two tram stops, Soya suddenly realized that he had forgotten to say hello to Uncle Eiji's house, so he hoped that he would be at home today.

"It's here."

Walking into the familiar alley and coming to Soya's house, Soya adjusted his breathing and prepared for a while before raising his hand to ring the doorbell.

Not long after, a middle-aged woman came to answer the door.

"..."

Seeing the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face outside the door, she froze for a moment, opening her mouth and being speechless for a long time.

Soya lowered his head slightly, "Aunt Liangzi, long time no see."

"Fangming...Eiji!"

She almost screamed, and a man responded quickly from the room: "What's the matter, who is here?"

While speaking, he also walked out.

"..."

Looking at each other, Soya took a deep breath, but couldn't return to calm.

"Uncle Ying Er...it's me, Fang Ming."

Soya Eiji, Yoshiaki's uncle, although he was not adopted many years ago due to work, family and many other factors, he is still the person who took care of him the most after his parents died.

"Greetings from Jiushu." Pulling Zhao Wuling, he lifted the Junmai Daiginjo in his hand, "I'm here to visit you."

"Fang Ming!"

Being grabbed by the shoulders and shaking and shaking, and being stroked back and forth for a long time, he was able to walk into Soya's house that he had not seen for a long time.

Sitting next to Soya Eiji on the sofa, after a while, Soya began to feel thankful that he went back to the Children's Welfare Institute first.

He is the only spiritual person in the Soya family, and he also doesn't want Soya Eiji to be troubled by things in the other world, so he brought up the argument that he was adopted by his father's former friend.

And the most primitive way of saying is no problem for teachers who are not familiar with the Soya family, but it is full of loopholes for the cousin who knows everything;
Fortunately, I have been asked a lot, and I have also received follow-up supplements on places and various details that I did not expect at first, and basically nothing was missed.

"Is it Jingsuke's junior in university... Then I'm really not familiar with it, what's his name?"

Putting down the water glass, Soya blushed without heartbeat, "Kirino Hiroyuki."

"Tirino...it really is a name I've never heard of before."

Soya Eiji pondered for a while, and then said: "Although Yoshiaki was taken away quietly, I still have to thank him. If I have time, I will go to Kinki and visit Mr. Kirino in person."

"..."

Soya squeezed out a smile, "Okay."

Let's deal with it now, and when Uncle Ying Er thinks of this idea again in the future, let's find a way to solve it...

Soya Eiji thought for a while, then looked at him again, "Fang Ming plans to go back tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"It just so happens that I have time in the next two days, so I'll go there with you."

"..."

The expected "later" came too fast, Soya didn't even have time to put on a smile, his face was a little stiff.

"Inconvenient?" Soya Eiji saw his embarrassment.

"Yes……"

He picked up the water glass and took a sip, then took another sip, and didn't put it down until it bottomed out, while Tang Shu was still looking at him, waiting for his explanation.

"In the past few days, Mr. Kirino and his family have traveled to Hokkaido and are not at home."

Looking towards Wuling, he could only pretend that he didn't see it.

"I see. Then why didn't Fangming go to Hokkaido with his adoptive parents?"

"It's been more than two years since I left here. I want to come back to visit my parents' tomb, and visit Uncle Yinger and Aunt Liangzi...By the way, Miss Yuanzi isn't home?"

Soya shifted the topic to his cousin who was in college.

"Not here." Soya Eiji didn't think much about it, "Sonoko only came back for a few days during the summer vacation, and then went out to fool around with his cronies again."

"yes."

There were not many relatives in Sendai who wanted to visit, and according to Soya's plan, the morning time was reserved for this cousin, so when they wanted to keep him for dinner, he agreed.

"Is Fangming still used to staying there?"

"I was not used to it at first, but now I don't want to leave."

"Fangming adapts quickly wherever he is, and it was the same when he first went to the orphanage for children. I always felt very sorry that I couldn't adopt Fangming because of various things... Forget it, let's not talk about it. Fangming should Can I drink?"

"No, I'm still a high school student..."

The precious bottle of Junmai Daiginjo that Soya brought was opened at noon.

"Did Fangming buy such expensive wine with his own money?"

"Yes."

"The money from the adoptive father?"

"um, yes."

After drinking a glass of wine, Soya Eiji had endless aftertaste, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.

"By the way, what did Fang Ming call his adoptive father at home over there?"

"The title, of course it's 'Mr. Kirino'."

"Sure enough." Sogu Eiji looked understanding, "After all, Yoshiaki was already 15 years old when he was adopted, so it's hard to call him 'father' again."

"Um……"

"However, if Fang Ming can call him 'Father', I think he will be very happy."

"maybe……"

Reunited after a long absence, Eiji Sotani was both happy and grateful to the person who adopted his nephew, "He took so much care of Yoshiaki, so let's change his words after returning."

"I see."

"Why don't you make a phone call now."

Soya immediately stood up holding the wine bottle.

"Let's have another drink!"
