Chapter 206 Her Farewell (Part [-])

"Let's have dinner!"

Following the shouts of Eshima Myo who poked his head out of the sliding door of the kitchen, Kitagawa Cheru and Kakuhara Shiori, who were sitting in the living room watching TV, stood up quite consciously, went to wash their hands, and then , took the initiative to go into the kitchen and help serve the dishes.

This is one of the established rules of the Beichuan family.

The chefs are responsible for cooking, and the diners have to do related follow-up work, such as serving dishes, adding rice, and most importantly, washing dishes.

"Well, I won't be able to eat much tonight."

After taking off her apron, Rina Tosei looked at Shiori Kashiwahara who was adding rice and whispered.

"what?"

The movement of Bai Yuan Shizhi's hand stagnated, and she put down the bowl in her hand. She turned her head, and her plain white hand directly touched Rina Toshima's forehead.

After confirming that Tsugumi Rina's body temperature was normal, Shiori Baiyuan lowered her eyebrows and muttered in a low voice with some doubts, "I don't have a fever either."

"Don't make trouble." Rina Toshima slapped her hand away angrily and glared at her, "Everyone always has a few days every month when they have no appetite. Isn't this normal?"

"Other people, it should be normal, but..."

Bai Yuanshizhi pursed her lips, and gave Tsugumi Rina a meaningful look.

For you, this sentence does not apply.

In the Kitagawa family, almost everyone agrees that Rina Toshima's food intake will not decrease due to the change of the date, but will only be affected by her mood that day. Of course, for now, no matter what kind of mood she is, , Rina Toshima can only exist in two states, normal and MAX state with full firepower.

"The look in your eyes hurts me so much."

Rina Tsugumi covered her mouth with her hands, pretending to be sad.

"It doesn't matter." The corners of Bai Yuan Shizhi's mouth slightly raised, and he said a word of "relief" with "extremely high EQ" quite cooperatively, "I will get hurt more later."

"Come on." Tsugumi Rina waved her hand, and muttered dumbfoundingly, "Compared with someone else, your ability to comfort people is already two extremes."

Bei Chuan Che didn't comfort people much, but every time he comforted people, he could give people a strong sense of security, and the more he got along with him, the more he wanted to stay by his side.

Because of this, they had many discussions secretly.

"Then it looks like I'm not your 'drug'~"

Bai Yuan Shizhi was not angry at all, she blinked, turned around, and continued to add food.

As soon as the words fell, Makoto Makoto Rina froze in hanging the apron on the stainless steel pole.

She used to say that Baiyuan Shizhi couldn't hide her thoughts every day, but now it seems that she is actually the same.

"...I'm not sick."

After hesitating for a moment, Rina Tosei defended herself harshly.

"やあ (hi)~"

Baiyuan Shiori didn't intend to entangle with Tsugumi Rina about this, so she responded perfunctorily.

only……

She thinks there are some things that should be said.

After finishing the last bowl, she put down the rice spoon and said, "I remember Miss Rina has chronic pharyngitis, right?"

"Uh..." Rina Toshima was stunned for a moment. She didn't know why the girl suddenly mentioned this, but she still nodded, "Yes."

Her chronic pharyngitis has been contracted since she was in college. Later, because of her insistence on exercising and paying more attention to keeping warm, it has been a long time... Well, at least this year, there has been no recurrence.

"Some diseases are chronic and may not be felt on weekdays, but once certain triggering conditions are encountered, the manifestations of the disease will emerge." Bai Yuan Shizhi picked up the bowl of refilled rice, " These diseases are not easy to be completely cured, but it is not difficult to achieve clinical recurrence.”

"What do you mean?"

Rina Toshima bit her lip and looked at the back of Bai Yuan Shiori.

"Literally." Bai Yuan Shizhi chuckled, and said a sentence with a pun, "It's important to find the right medicine, but your own strength is also very important."

"Anyway, dinner is ready!"

She didn't even give Makoto Tsugumi a chance to answer the words. After saying this, Shiori Baiyuan took the added meal and walked out of the kitchen.

For her, as a friend and as a 'sister', she could only say so much.

If you keep talking, it will be over.

"..."

Looking at the back of Shiori Bai Yuan leaving, Makoto Tsugumi Rina felt a little lost for no reason.

She understood what Baiyuan Shizhi meant, and her instinct told her that what the other party said was correct, and she had to do this if she wanted to solve her 'chronic disease'.

but……

Lowering her eyebrows, Rina Tsugumi sighed, and her eyes fell on the rice bowl next to the rice cooker.

She remembered clearly that this set of Higan-style bowls was bought in the second week after she met Kitagawa Teru and Ejima Myo, and they went to the nearest shopping street to buy it.

At that time, she also complained about Beichuan Che, who was obviously a high school student, how could she like this kind of bowl that looked 'old-fashioned'.

Now that I think about it, it seems like a long time ago.

If I fail to carry out my will to the end...

A hint of sadness flashed across Rina Toshima's eyes.

She knew very well what kind of ending she would face at that time.

I'm afraid she can't continue to be the profession of teacher that she likes.

The meals of the Beichuan family will probably only become things in memories.

Ugh.

Rina Tsugumi couldn't help but sigh again in her heart.

She doesn't know what's wrong with herself. During this period of time, she has always emphasized to the outside world that she will definitely stick to her own ideas, but in private, those "tough attitudes" disappeared suddenly, and she always It is to think some frustrating thoughts inexplicably, do some frustrating things, and even say corresponding frustrating words in the bottom of my heart.

call.

After exhaling a long breath, Rina Toshima shook her head, temporarily putting away the inappropriate thoughts in her mind, and her eyes were fixed on the rice bowl subconsciously.

Under the white light of the kitchen, in the rice bowl, the freshly cooked white rice is still emitting bursts of heat and fragrance.

Now she understands more and more why that sentence can resonate with so many people.

Love is a hand that stretches out and draws back.

"Sister Rina, what are you still doing in a daze! Today's dishes are all your favorites, so hurry up and bring the food here, it's time for us to serve!"

At the dining table, Shiori Baiyuan turned around, raised his arms, and waved to Rina Tsugumi in the kitchen.

"it is good!"

Raising her eyebrows, Tsugumi Rina hid her dejected expression, forced a natural smile, then picked up the bowl in front of her and walked out of the kitchen.
