I just want to live in peace, I refuse to fall in love

Chapter 15 Green plums fall from the sky
"You are indeed reminiscing!" Yumiko complained.

"Don't slander me! It's human instinct to look at me first, and it's the conduct of a gentleman not to look at me a second time!"

Under the supervision of Shirakawa Kazuya, Nagata Chinatsu finally completed the remaining stack of test papers and is now lying half-dead on the bed reading comics.

He sighed while correcting, feeling that there was a long way to go to catch up with the average score.

In a blink of an eye, it’s time for dinner.

This time, Nagata Chinatsu personally cooked and brought out two bowls of udon noodles and scrambled eggs and placed them on the table in the living room.

"Why does my taste differ from what you made yesterday?" Nagata Chinatsu tasted it and was a little surprised.

It was obviously done step by step according to the method taught by this guy.

Looking at [Basic Cooking Level 9, Proficient in Eggs, Proficient in Meat], Shirakawa Kazuya comforted him, "It's okay, Nagata-san. As long as you practice more, you will definitely be able to cook delicious meals like me."

Is the gap between people actually so big?Not only does this guy have excellent academic performance, he is also so good at cooking!The most important thing is that he looks very handsome.Facing such a perfect Shirakawa Kazuya, the highly competitive Nagata Chinatsu didn't know how to compare with him.

Maybe only games and bust can beat him.

After the meal, the two drank barley tea for a while and chatted for a while before Shirakawa Kazuya said goodbye.

The wind in the spring night carried the faint fragrance of cherry blossoms, and he returned home with the fragrance of flowers.

Not long after he took out the book and read it, Shirakawa Kazuya couldn't help but think of yesterday's martial arts field. He wanted to fight again, but looking at the textbook in his hand, he still held back and continued to be patient. Learning by temperament.

The clock is ticking, slowly taking a small step forward.

The book in Shirakawa Kazuya's hand closed with a snap, and with a thought, the surrounding scene changed again.

The opponent showed a sinister smile. Shirakawa Kazuya, who turned into a samurai, didn't pay attention. He just stroked the hilt of the sword with his hand, knelt down on the edge of the martial arts arena, and assumed the Iai's starting position.

Not long after, Shirakawa Kazuya returned to the desk again, with fine beads of sweat already appearing on his head.But my heart is very satisfied.

Although the opponent was still not defeated this time, the two sides were able to fight back and forth for several rounds.Shirakawa Kazuya self-assessed that the two of them were [-]:[-], he was [-], and the other was [-].Compared with the number one Shi[-]kai, it has improved a lot.

After entering the bathroom and washing his face, Shirakawa Kazuya found that the side effects were significantly less severe this time. It seemed that he had gradually adapted to this cruel competition.

Just then, he heard a knock on the door.

Through the peephole, Shirakawa Kazuya saw a middle-aged man and woman.It looked familiar, but I couldn't remember who it was.

"Is Shirakawa home? I'm Naoto Hashimoto." The man shouted while knocking on the door.

Shirakawa Kazuya finally remembered that Hashimoto Naoto was the neighbor of the previous owner.He lived in an old one-family house in Kuyama Town, and Naoto Hashimoto's family lived next to it.

His father is Naoto Hashimoto, his mother is Rina Hashimoto, and they have a daughter named Koko Hashimoto.

The two of them grew up together in Kuyama Town, and because the two families were very close to each other, Hashimoto Xiangzi had a very good relationship with him. It can be said that the two have been childhood sweethearts since childhood.

Shirakawa Kazuya thought so and opened the door.

"Shirakawa, your place is a bit remote, but it's really easy for me to find. I'm not telling you, why do you live in such a shabby apartment?" Naoto Hashimoto said directly without waiting for Shirakawa Kazuya to speak. Duan, I want to walk into the house.

Shirakawa Kazuya stretched out his hand to stop him, thinking how presumptuous you are.

Hashimoto Naoto's expression changed and he was a little angry, "Shirakawa, I came all the way from Kuyama Town to Fukuoka to find you, but you didn't even let me in? Is this your attitude towards your elders? Where are your politeness? Got it!"

Hashimoto Rina hurriedly stopped him, "Why are you talking to a child!" She changed her smile and explained to Shirakawa Kazuya, "Xiangzi encountered some things at school, and I can't stay in the original environment. Her father and I were thinking about transferring her to another school. After asking around a lot, we remembered that the private Qingshui Junior High School here had a teacher from Kuyama Town, so we sent her to the school there through some connections."

As she spoke, she pulled Hashimoto Koko, who was hiding behind her, in front of her.Hashimoto Kouko glanced at Shirakawa Kazuya, her eyes sparkled, her lips moved, and she wanted to say something, but in the end she just lowered her head.

Shirakawa Kazuya looked at this shy girl, and the memories deep in his mind slowly surfaced.

That is Kuyama Town, where the round trip by urban and rural buses takes five or six hours.

This is the girl who digs potatoes in the fields with him, the girl who fishes with him on the shore, the girl who soaks watermelons with him in the summer river, the girl who wears a yukata with him on Bon night girl eating candy apple
This is his childhood sweetheart, Hashimoto Kouko, who he spent ten summers with in Kuyama Town.

The two figures slowly overlapped, and the intimacy in Shirakawa Kazuya's heart emerged.

"Hello, Xiangzi. I was still in junior high school when you moved. Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for a few years, but you are still so beautiful." Shirakawa Kazuya greeted her with a smile.

"Onisan, hello." Hashimoto Koko raised her head again, raised her little hand and waved it.

Xiangzi's mother watched the interaction between the two of them and felt a little relieved.He continued, "My child's father and I couldn't leave our hometown, but Xiangzi's condition really made it impossible to stay on the original campus. We were worried about her living outside alone, so we were wondering if we could pick her up. Come to your place and stay for a while until she finishes her third grade of junior high school."

"Please come in." Shirakawa Kazuya brought them into the house.

The interior structure of the rental house is very simple. The entrance is the entrance hall and corridor, the toilet and bathroom are on the right, the kitchen is at the end of the corridor, and the left side of the corridor is a sliding door. When opened, the room inside is his living room and bedroom.

They sat down by the kotatsu in the living room. Although it was an early spring night, Shirakawa Kazuya did not turn on the power in order to save energy.

"Shirakawa, this is your fault. Is this how you treat guests when they arrive?" Naoto Hashimoto plugged in the kotatsu.

"Don't mind Shirakawa-kun, the child's father was ill and had surgery before, which caused the root cause of the disease and made him feel cold." Rina Hashimoto explained with a smile.

"It's okay. Come on, everyone, sit down." Shirakawa Kazuya felt a little dissatisfied, but the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he invited them to sit down.

"I feel a little ashamed to say it, but you have also seen the environment here. It may not be convenient for a girl to live here."

Shirakawa Kazuya didn't particularly want Hashimoto Kouko to stay here.One is because there are differences between men and women, and the other is because he doesn't think he can take good care of each other.

The calf under the kotatsu seemed to have been touched.

Shirakawa Kazuya was confused, glanced at Hashimoto Kouko, and said nothing.

"Shirakawa-kun, why don't you think about it again? We will be responsible for Xiangzi's living expenses ourselves, it's just about an extra pair of chopsticks!" Rina Hashimoto continued.

"I'm afraid." Just when Shirakawa Kazuya was about to refuse, he was lightly stepped on his thigh again.

He was confused and grabbed it with his backhand, feeling a struggling cotton sock feel in his palm.

Hashimoto Koko's face turned red "shua".

"What's wrong, Xiangzi?" Naoto Hashimoto looked at his daughter's face, feeling a little strange.

"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't seen Shirakawa-kun for a long time. I was a little shy when he suddenly said that we wanted to live together." Hashimoto Kouko pursed her lips and lowered her head and whispered.

"We don't sleep together. Besides, you two took a bath together at home when you were children. I washed one with each hand. What's so shameful about it?" Naoto Hashimoto smiled, remembering the interesting things that happened in their childhood. His tone It also slowly softened.

Hashimoto Koko struggled twice more, seized the opportunity, and quickly took her feet back, but she felt cold and found that her socks were still in the opponent's hands.

She hesitated for a while, fearing that her parents would find her when she stood up later, so she reached over again and stepped on Shirakawa Kazuya's hand, signaling him to return the socks to him.
