Love Comes After Learning

"Just responding to your joke, don't be so angry."

Asada also suppressed the deliberate expression, shrugged, waved to Haruna-san who was peeking behind the door frame, and smiled at Rui who puffed out her mouth and was sulking.

"Seeing that you still have the energy to act, I feel relieved. Your hands won't leave scars, right?"

Qiaobi snorted, Ruyi turned her eyes away, as if she didn't want to see him.

"...If you apply the medicine according to the instructions, no."

The impromptu performance failed like this, her tone was a little dissatisfied, but she didn't say anything, and soon returned to her normal state.

After Yangcai put all the things back on the table, Rui moved away from the seat beside her, and got up to help her take out all the food in the paper bag.

She couldn't move one hand easily, and there was her own dinner inside, so Asada naturally didn't bother to watch, and got up to help.

After the table was filled with all kinds of burgers, French fries, chicken nuggets, and beer, the three chatted casually while eating dinner.

Basically, Asada is talking and Rui is answering.

"Why did you suddenly cut your hand?"

"I was thinking about making new dishes for you, but I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I cut it off without paying attention. Fortunately, I didn't see the bones."

Rui said it plainly, but Asada felt inexplicably guilty when she heard it, and could only speak with a wry smile.

"It sounds painful, thank you for being so calm..."

Rui responded casually.

"I can't help it. You're not here when you want to cry. I'm almost used to it when you come back. It's also inexplicable to hold you and cry now. What can I do if I don't calm down?"

The hand holding the French fries stopped in mid-air, Asada felt more guilt in his heart, and even his sigh was full of apology.

"...Sorry, the phone was turned off due to some accident, and I only remembered it when I was on the way back. I'm really sorry that I didn't get to you in time."

Rui shook her head and looked at him seriously.

"It's okay, I told Sister Yangcai not to notify you at first, but she still secretly said it, so I can't blame you.

Most importantly, it didn't ruin your date with Sanjiu, right? "

Stared at by those sincere eyes, Asada always felt that if he told the truth, he would be ashamed of his thoughts for his own sake, so he couldn't help but look away, and said vaguely.

"Thanks to you, it went well, but if there is any accident next time... Tsk, it seems too unlucky to say so." Asada scratched his head, his eyebrows suddenly sank, and he looked over solemnly.

"A date or something is not as important as your safety. If you can, let me know first. I won't turn off my phone in the future, even if someone installs a GPS positioning system."

"...What's the matter with the last sentence?" Ruyi twitched the corners of her mouth, her speechless expression suddenly turned into a soft and happy smile after a burst of laughter.

"But I will accept your concern with gratitude! Thank you, Shinichi."

Asada was slightly stunned, then smiled helplessly, and knocked her on the head with a hand that was not stained with oil.

"Bring me 'brother', or you can call Oni-chan."

"I don't want to scream when I see your eyes shining." Ruyi turned her face away, her face suddenly wrinkled, her body was tense and bent, she hugged her left hand and let out a short cry of pain.

"pain……"

Asada immediately pushed away the chair and got up, nervously said: "What's wrong? Is the wound open? I'll go get the medicine box."

"No, it's okay...it's just a sudden pain..." Rui took a breath, her expression hidden under her drooping hair, as if she was suppressing waves of pain.

"Brother Shinichi, I want to ask you one thing..."

"What's the matter?" After Asada replied, his first reaction was to look at Hina who was eating French fries silently with his head down, as if he had entered his personal world.

Presumably to take ointment or painkillers?Sister Yangcai went to the doctor with her, so she should know the location...

"Can you please date me?"

"it is good……"

The voice paused for a long time in the air.

Asada's head suddenly turned from Hina's body to Rui, her eyes widened in disbelief.

"What did you say?"

"It doesn't matter what I say, the important thing is..."

Rui slowly raised her face, with a sly smile on her brows and a brisk tone.

"I heard, you said it.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The pointer turns.

The sky was stained with deep ink, and the starless night sky seemed to have continued the silence for thousands of years.

"Isn't that right? Why do you suddenly want to date me?"

Until the end of the dinner and the garbage was cleared away, Asada's questioning still did not get an answer.

Rui wiped the table with one hand, like a scumbag who pulled up his pants and left after sleeping, and responded to him casually.

"If I like you, I want to be your girlfriend. Is there a problem with this logic? Shinichi."

"No, that's not what you said before..." And what's with that title?Does calling them by first names make them more like a couple than brother and sister?

"What did I say before?" Rui frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Ah, did you mean 'this is good, a little happiness is enough to satisfy me'?"

Asada nodded, then took the sweeper from her hand to replace her daily cleaning.

After dinner, Sister Yangcai went back upstairs under the pretext of preparing lessons. Now there are only the two of them on the first floor, and she did not eavesdrop at the entrance of the living room.

It shouldn't be him thinking too much, Asada always felt that Sister Haruna was assisting Rui, which can be seen from the inexplicable drama and weird silence just now.

Have you been tricked by the two sisters at home?This damn good luck...

"That's right, but I have said that I don't want to associate with you?"

Forced to be idle, Rui could only lean on the back of the sofa, curling the hair on her cheeks with her fingers, and answer in a casual tone.

"Even if there is, it has nothing to do with me now... Anyway, you just promised me, and I recorded it, but you are not allowed to go back on your word."

Asada sneered, and taught with a little disdain: "Rui, in this society, it is not so simple to say "I just recorded" to threaten people..."

"Shin-Shinichi-san, I want to ask you one thing...can I ask you to date me?" 』

"it is good……"

The brief words in less than five seconds came, and Asada continued to speak without changing his expression.

"Unless you planned it in advance and really recorded it."

Holding the broom, she turned around, looked at Rui who had put away her phone, and spread her hands helplessly.

"Rui, tell me what your purpose is. We are neither outsiders, and I don't want to fight wits and courage with my sister or engage in love wars. This is really not suitable for us."

"Really?" Rui's eyes slanted over lightly, and Rui curled her lips like this, her voice was emotionless and authentic.

"You still have to be careful when you talk to girls. Just this sentence, I think it is implying that you hate me, don't like me, so indifferent, it hurts in my heart, I want to cry."

Asada: "..."

Excuse me, do you look like you want to cry?

This also analyzes my mentality too clearly, right?

But even these plain words made Asada feel guilty subconsciously—I always feel that I have been sorry for her today, no matter what I do or say.

As I said to Nino not long ago, inadvertent words can bring the power to hurt others. Even though Asada always remembers to be cautious in his words and deeds, and rarely blurts out stupid words that are obviously hurtful, he can't avoid the unintentional and obedient words. intentional situation.

At this time, he could only explain it as an afterthought.

"Sorry, I didn't mean that. I just hope we can be honest with each other..."

Rui turned around decisively and walked towards the bathroom.

"Okay, let's go take a shower now, the one together."

"You obviously misunderstood too much!"

Asada pressed his forehead, feeling a pain in his head.

Why is it so difficult to communicate with teenage girls?

"Stop joking, you also know that in my current situation, it is impossible for me to agree to date you?"

"……not kidding."

Ruyi stopped slowly, turned her face sideways, her clear eyes were firm and bright like ruby.

"Even so, I really want to date you."

Her expression does not seem to be fake, and Asada has almost never seen Rui lying, she has always been straightforward.

But even so, to say that she suddenly awakened her desire to possess herself, it didn't matter if she was a younger sister, and suddenly became a girlfriend who wanted to take a bath together, which is too strange...

Her eyes were suddenly attracted by her injured left hand, and Asada suddenly had some guesses in her heart, she couldn't help clenching her fist secretly, and confirmed in a low voice.

"Is it because of... the injury?"

As if the words hit the heart, Rui couldn't help biting her lips, covering her left wrist and looking at the ground.

After taking a deep breath as if preparing for it, she spoke calmly and heavily.

"Thinking of the moment when I cook a new dish for you.

The moment you cut it.

The moment I was sent to the hospital.

Waiting for the moment you come back.

Knowing that you're enjoying a date and all I can do is bleed on the kitchen floor...

I just, couldn't take it anymore. "

As if suppressing emotions, the drooping eyelashes trembled slightly, and the expression was darkly fermented in the shadows.

"Don't you understand? I also want to go on a date with you, I also want to be cared for by you as a love object, and I also want to hold your hand tightly like a couple...

But you never put your eyes on me. Even if you sit at the same table and eat, you seem to be getting farther and farther away from me. "
