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

Chapter 16 Sister
Shirakawa Kazuya felt the touch coming from under the kotatsu and probably understood what the other party meant.

After touching and confirming the position in his mind, he put on the white socks stumblingly, and then patted her calf to signal her to take it back quickly.

Hashimoto Koko's face turned red to the base of her ears. She pulled her legs back with a swish and lowered her head like a frightened deer.

Not only snatching my socks, but touching my legs?Could it be that after not seeing each other for a few years, Onisang turned into a pervert with strange habits?
The residual warmth of the other person's warm palm still remained on her legs. She was a little shy and surprised, but she didn't feel angry inside.

Hashimoto Kouko's impression of Shirakawa Kazuya still remains on the summer they parted a few years ago.

In the slow-paced countryside, summer seems to be extremely long.They entered the summer vacation early and had a lot of fun fishing and hunting birds in Kuyama Town.

They went to the river to catch fish together, but they failed to catch the fish and instead made themselves sweaty.Hashimoto Kouko took a handful of water from the crystal clear stream and poured it on Shirakawa Kazuya's head.

"You're sweating profusely, wash it off quickly!"

"You wash together too!"

Shirakawa Kazuya slapped the water with his backhand, frightening the fish away and splashing water all over them.

"Ha ha ha ha"

Their laughter echoed above the river.

They catch insects in the woods.

Hashimoto Kouko nervously held the corner of her clothes and raised her head to look at Shirakawa Kazuya lying on the branch.He was staring attentively at the lazy rhinoceros, holding an insect net high in his hand.

The horned fairy felt the danger and flew away quickly.Shirakawa Kazuya missed the opportunity and fell down with the net and fell on the grass.

He stood up quickly, patted the muddy pants on his body, and laughed, "One-horned Immortal, is this all your means? I will never give up if I fight!"

Finally, they got tired of playing and sat on the ridge to rest.

The sun is setting.The wind blew across the fields, briefly blowing away the heat and bringing the unique smell of earth.The chirping of various birds came from the distance, perhaps calling the stragglers to go home together.

Two small figures sat there on the ridge, very close to each other, almost leaning against each other.

"Onisan, I'm moving." Hashimoto Koko pressed her round straw hat that was about to be blown off by the wind and found that her voice was a little hoarse.

"Hey, why so suddenly?"

"My parents have been discussing it for a while, but they only told me recently. Our family is moving to my grandparents' house, which is also in Kuyama Town, but on the other side of the mountain, a little far away from here."

"I see, I feel a bit regretful. The last game of house is not over yet."

"Yes, I still want to continue playing husband and wife with Onisang."

Maybe it's because the weather is too hot, Hashimoto Xiangzi's face is a little red.She glanced at Shirakawa Kazuya secretly, turned slightly to the side, and turned her face to the side.

"No, no, I'm talking about another one. The time we played the card game."

"Eh? I thought..."

"Father, come on!"

Shirakawa Kazuya jumped up from the ground, put his hands across his chest, and shouted in a very accurate manner.

Hashimoto Xiangzi looked at his figure jumping up and down, and gradually became a little blurry.But the tear in the corner of his eye was dried by the scorching sun before it could shed.

She opened her lips slightly, wanting to say something, but in the end she just smiled and picked up her small fist and smashed it against the other person's body.

"Damn it, you dare to sneak up on me! Take the move, I won't give up easily when I'm stuck! Ola Ola Ola Ola!" Shirakawa Kazuya punched the air continuously.

The memory is a bit fuzzy. Hashimoto Kouko only remembers that the sun was very bright that day, but the boy who played the card was even better.

Think back to the present.

Thinking of the middle school boy on the field ridge, and looking at the mature and steady Shirakawa Kazuya in front of her, Hashimoto Kouko held the corner of her skirt, feeling a little happy and excited in her heart.I thought I would never see him again, but I didn't expect that not only would we be able to meet him now, but we would even have the opportunity to go one step further and live directly in his home.

It's like pretending to be an adult.

In the past, although the two of them were only one year apart, they were obviously more mature.This idiot always shouts Chuuni's lines and plays various anime characters in front of her.

In fact, at that time, Hashimoto Xiangzi, who had been following him, had a crush on him.

Now, when they meet again, she realizes that time and distance have not diluted her inner emotions.That hazy feeling was even more precious in her heart because it was not always smooth sailing.

His childhood playmate has turned into a super mature and super handsome big brother. Although there is still only one year difference between the two of them, he seems to be much younger than him.

You have to find a way to stay!
A strong impulse spread in Hashimoto Xiangzi's heart.

I want to continue to be by the other person's side as before.

But will the other party really accept me?After all, time will change a person. The two parties have not seen each other for several years. In the other party's heart, can he still occupy a small space?
She had so many thoughts in her heart that it was hard to describe her feelings.

"Shirakawa-kun, please think about it again. Don't worry about others gossiping. When your parents had an accident, you have been living in my house. My child's father and I treat you as our own child. Xiangzi, this child I have regarded you as an older brother since I was a child, and you are still brothers and sisters, there will be no trouble!" Hashimoto Rina continued to persuade.

sister?
Seeing Hashimoto Koko's eager eyes, Shirakawa Kazuya fell silent.

He remembered the time when he lived in Hashimoto's house a long time ago. At that time, he found that although Hashimoto Xiangzi was always smiling, she didn't seem to be as happy as she seemed on the surface.

He is a person who attaches great importance to family and is very sensitive in this regard.

If the other person holds the expectation of leaving that home and refuses, will he betray the other person's trust in him?
He also remembered that Xiangzi's mother said that she had to transfer to another school because of some accidents in the school.If I refused, would I be sprinkling salt on her unhealed scars?

Shirakawa Kazuya thought a lot, and he didn't know which reason convinced him, and he finally agreed.

"Okay, I have always regarded Xiangzi as my sister, and I will try my best to take care of her during this time."

Hashimoto Xiangzi's beautiful big eyes lit up, shining with joy.But there is some slight regret in my heart.

She cheered herself up quietly in her heart, "It's okay, Xiangzi. You two are legitimate childhood sweethearts. According to the plot of the girl's manga, there will definitely be a good ending!"

After hearing Kazuya Shirakawa's answer, the atmosphere that was originally quiet and somewhat solemn suddenly became heated.

"Shirakawa-kun, I'm really sorry to trouble you! This child's luggage is still at the hotel. We'll go back to pack tonight and we'll be back in two days!" Hashimoto Rina was very excited.

Hashimoto Naoto also laughed heartily, "What took you so long? Let's pack up tonight and come back early tomorrow morning. Check out the hotel room before noon. Everything in the big city is good, but the prices are too high. high!"

"Xiangzi, please be careful at your brother's house, don't cause him any trouble, do you understand?" Hashimoto Rina finished teaching her daughter, and then made a joke with local characteristics from her hometown, laughing with Hashimoto Naoto. got up.

The couple talked to each other and arranged things properly, without giving Hashimoto Koko, the person involved, a chance to speak.

Hashimoto Xiangzi didn't care, her heart was filled with joy now.

She didn't care, but Shirakawa Kazuya also cared.

As a parent, can you really smile so happily if your children are left to live under someone else's roof?

Shirakawa Kazuya watched this scene silently, and for some reason, he thought of the night when he and Nagata Chinatsu cried together.A curved arc was drawn from the mouth.

After a lively chat for a long time, Xiangzi's parents finally finished talking about the family troubles in Kuyama Town and took Xiangzi to say goodbye.

Happy people spend their entire lives being healed by their childhood, while unfortunate people spend their entire lives healing their childhood.

Shirakawa Kazuya sat in the still warm kotatsu and lowered his eyes.
