I interpret life in Tokyo

Lonely men and widows live in the same room, the occasional sound of blue water makes people feel emotional, Madoka Higuchi lowers his head and sinks his head into the water.

"quack--"

Her undulating movements were a little violent, and she brought the little yellow duck beside the bathtub into the water.

The purple eyes stared at the little yellow duck, and the little yellow duck looked at her with those unemotional black eyes. Seeing this, Higuchi Madoka poked it with her finger, and the little yellow duck moved away a little, and walked freely on the blue waves floating.

It would be great if I was a little yellow duck.

Madoka Higuchi couldn't help but think that walking the path guided by others will be smooth and smooth, with no troubles and no injuries.

Thinking of this, she grabbed the little yellow duck and violently sank it into the water.

Kaede Sakakibara sat in the living room and watched TV. He didn't know that his good brother Huang Ya was being ravaged by Madoka Higuchi. He poured himself a glass of water and turned on his laptop. Kaede Sakakibara sat at the table and started to make Tokyo Homework from the economics department of the university.

Now that there are guests at home, it would be impolite for Sakakihara Kaede to go upstairs to work and ignore world affairs.

Rain always makes people feel sad. Looking at the world surrounded by rain in the room, a sense of peace of mind is strangely raised in my heart.

Sakakibara Kaede took a sip of water and continued to focus on homework.

Dean Kimura was quite satisfied with their homework, the boy couldn't do without praise after class, this time he asked for leave for the audition and passed without any hindrance.

"Ding dong."

doorbell.

Sakakihara Kaede put down the water glass and looked in the direction of the door. Who is here at this time?

He suddenly remembered that besides Madoka Higuchi, Toru Asakura was also coming today.

The boy came to the entrance and quickly opened the door. If Toru Asakura didn't bring an umbrella, he could take a bath with Madoka Higuchi directly.

"Hello, I'm here as a guest."

Asakura Toru was standing in front of the door with a small cake in her hand, but she was holding an umbrella.

"Come in, Asakura-san, what is this cake?"

"Ah...the manager said to be polite."

Asakura said with a smile, her words seemed to be inconsistent, but the meaning was very clear, the manager asked her to be polite, so she brought a small cake as a guest.

"—I've almost run out of shampoo."

Madoka Higuchi wiped her short hair with a towel, and walked out of the bathing center in boy's clothes.

Toru Asakura stood in front of the door holding the cake, staring fixedly at his childhood sweetheart.

Madoka Higuchi's face darkened for a moment, and he just wanted to escape back to the bathing center to continue taking a bath. It was really inappropriate to say such words in a homely tone.

Taking a bath at Kaede Sakakibara's house, before Toru Asakura found out, such a shock made Madoka Higuchi stand in place for a moment, her brain completely on standby.

Asakura squinted his eyes and smiled, his smile looked kind and mysterious.

"...So this is ah."

"It's not like this."

Kaede Sakakihara immediately clarified, "San Higuchi didn't bring an umbrella, so he just borrowed the bath center to wash up."

"hey-hey."

Asakura smiled, not knowing whether she understood or just watching for fun, after putting the cake on the dining table, she climbed onto the sofa with a whoosh sound, and watched the variety show Kaede Sakakibara watched earlier.

Madoka Higuchi was still stuck in place, Kaede Sakakibara coughed lightly, "Well, I will buy shampoo, thank you for reminding me."

The girl's face turned red, this was the first time the boy had observed her showing such an expression, she gave Kaede Sakakibara a vicious look, and walked away quickly sullenly.

Of course, the departure here does not mean that she changed her shoes in front of the entrance and then disappeared forever, the departure here refers to her going to the sofa to sit next to Toru Asakura.

Facing the stare from his childhood sweetheart, Toru Asakura didn't react much, and thanked Kaede Sakakibara a little embarrassed for handing her tea.

"What would you like to eat tonight?"

As the head of the family, Kaede Sakakibara stood in front of the refrigerator with his hands on his hips and said, "The ugly thing is, my cooking skills have improved a little after filming the dream apartment, but it is basically at an average level."

"..."

Madoka Higuchi got up silently, came to the refrigerator and squatted down, and glanced sideways at Kaede Sakakibara.

"Higuchi-san?"

She put the meat bought by Kaede Sakakibara on the cutting board, and buried herself in the vegetables.

She rinsed the broccoli she bought in water, and looked up at Sakakibara Kaede again this time.

"Give me a hand."

"Okay, okay, learn, I'll be done after I learn."

Sakakihara Kaede nodded deeply and said.

Madoka Higuchi put on the apron skillfully, turned the switch of the stove, and the flames began to gently lick the bottom of the pot. She glanced at Kaede Sakakibara, "You should be able to cut the meat."

Sakakibara Kaede got the order, took the kitchen knife and started dicing the meat.

"Cut it smaller."

"okay."

Kaede Sakakibara clasped his fists and said, his movements were meticulous, and his knife skills didn't look bad, so Madoka Higuchi could not help but take a second look.

Jie Jie, his way of chopping vegetables was learned secretly from Qingshan Qihai. With muscle memory, he imitated Qingshan Qihai's movements several times, and he quickly mastered them.

Toru Asakura leaned on the sofa without any image, holding a bear pillow in his hand, and looked at the two busy figures in the kitchen with great interest.

Well, this is the first time I have seen Higuchi like this.

Asakura smiled, and Higuchi Madoka's reaction made her feel very fresh. As a childhood sweetheart, Higuchi Madoka had always looked the same in her eyes for more than ten years. The slight change at this time could not be seen by others, but Asakura Toru I see it.

So she found it interesting and wanted to just sit here and continue watching.

Seeing Madoka Higuchi's natural movements, Kaede Sakakibara couldn't help admiring, "Higuchi-san, you are so proficient."

"I practiced for a long time."

Madoka Higuchi said silently, she glanced at Kaede Sakakibara, stretched out her hand, and the latter automatically handed the cut mushrooms to the girl.

"The smell of Higuchi's house has come out." Sakakihara Kaede blurted out after smelling the familiar smell.

The sauce and the bottom of the pot are different, why can you cook something with such a family taste?

Sakakihara Kaede didn't know, when his cooking skills improved, he thought he could go to Yuanyue to challenge himself as a doctoral student.

That's the way it is.jpg

Chapter 6 Potluck

"Thank you for your hospitality, I'm starting."

The three of them sat at the table in the living room, holding chopsticks and praying to God with their palms together, thanking the gods of food for this delicious meal, which belonged to the Higuchi family.

Toru Asakura also wanted to participate in the cooking, but Madoka Higuchi drove her away and sent her to continue watching TV.

Sakakura Kaede didn't know Toru Asakura's cooking skill points, but he thought it would be good for the three of them to cook together.

There was a bit of silence at the dinner table. In the past, Sakakibara Kaede always had someone to accompany him when he was eating. No matter whether that person was Mrs. Higuchi or Mrs. Asakura, they all had topics to chat with.

but. . .

The boy looked at Toru Asakura, who was silently cooking rice and giggling while watching TV, feeling puzzled for the first time.

As an investigator with full social skills, how should I start here?

He opened his mouth, and the next moment, Madoka Higuchi spoke to Asakura Toru, and began to ask her what kind of commercial filming she participated in today.

Seeing that the situation was developing as expected, the investigator nodded with satisfaction. There was the sound of the TV and the sound of conversation. This kind of atmosphere was like a usual family dinner.

After eating, the three of them put the plate in front of the sink, and Sakakibara Kaede took off the rag that he had bought and hadn't used much and began to rub the bowl, which was the first time he was lucky.

After a while, everything on the table was cleaned up. The two took out today's homework, spread the notebook on the table and started writing.

Madoka Higuchi rubbed the thick calluses on his fingers, and glanced at Kaede Sakakibara, who was typing on the keyboard. He still used paper and pen to write in high school, but suddenly used electronic products in college, which can be said to be a qualitative leap.

She was already thinking about whether to practice typing.

The ringing of the phone broke the tranquility of studying. It was Kaede Sakakihara's cell phone that was ringing. He pulled out the cell phone with the white cat pendant. Seeing that it was Kei Iida's call notification, he nodded to the two and walked up the stairs. .

Chocolate and Vanilla were lying on his bed and fell asleep, Kaede Sakakibara rubbed Vanilla's stomach and pressed the call button.

"Iida-san."

"Brother Sakakihara."

Both sides were silent for a while after the names were announced, and in the end Kei Iida couldn't help it. After all, he broke the attack, "Brother Sakakihara, aren't you curious about the results of today's audition?"

"Hmph, I have enough confidence to pass the first round of auditions." Sakakibara Kaede said with a sneer, still a little uncertain in his heart, what if the character setting he showed didn't match the personality setting of the judges and review team?

"Tsk."

Iidagui couldn't help but clicked his tongue, and could only say that he deserved to be his Bingzhou fierce general Lu Bu, who possessed such unprecedented self-confidence.

"Okay, okay, you did pass." Iida Gui sighed, "By the way, Ichinose-san also passed the audition for the female role, which is an unexpected surprise."

"Then I'll text her later to congratulate her."

Sakakibara Kaede smiled and stroked the soft cat, "For Brother Iida, isn't this a double-happy event?"

Iida Gui on the other end of the phone laughed vigorously, with the intention of being a hero to Ni Tianxia, ​​"Brother Sakakihara, you should have no problem passing the second round of auditions. Even if you can't get the leading role, you can still get it in the leading role I’m pretty sure about this role. It’s just that Ichinose’s sister I’m a little worried about whether she can pass the second round of auditions. It’s just a fluke to pass the first round, and she may be rejected in the second round. The competition is too fierce.”

"But it's a happy event. I'm going to congratulate Ichinose, and I'm gone... By the way, I will notify you by email when the next audition time comes out."

After hanging up the phone, Sakakibara Kaede returned to the first floor. When he left, he had two perfect bodies on his shoulders.

Toru Asakura couldn't see Madoka Higuchi between the tables, Kaede Sakakibara sat down on his own, Chocolate and Vanilla meowed twice at Toru Asakura, his acquaintance, and came to the cat climbing frame beside him holding his fists play.

Asakura Toru's gaze danced with the cat, Kaede Sakakibara coughed, she trembled all over, and immediately refocused on her homework.

Her Sakakibara-sensei ptsd will be completely cured at some point.

Madoka Higuchi returned from the entrance, she sat down without saying a word, and glanced at Kaede Sakakibara who was giving a report without any response.

no response.

It is understandable, after all, the phone call is a private matter. She knows that the boy is not a person who explores the secrets of friends, nor is he a person who breaks the casserole and asks the bottom line. He can always maintain a perfect sense of distance and treat everyone with a polite attitude Polite appearance.

For some reason, she always wanted to tear Sakakihara Kaede's perfect appearance to pieces, and then see what his inner world looks like.

"that..."

"What's the matter Higuchi-san." Sakakibara Kaede raised his head, his blue and purple eyes met, "Is there something you don't understand?"

"Do not."

Madoka Higuchi shook his head slowly, "I passed the first round of auditions."

"Congratulations!" Kaede Sakakibara sincerely wished, "The next round of auditions is the audition for the female lead, Higuchi-san, come on!"

"Ah."

Higuchi Madoka nodded, then lowered her head, bit her lower lip, and under the long silence and Asakura Toru's gaze, asked softly, "Where is Sakakibara-san?"

"Congratulations, of course it passed."

"Oh."

"This time, there may be a chance to act in a rivalry with Higuchi-san again, ah, I just hope that the script this time will not be so weird." Kaede Sakakibara scratched his face while talking about this topic. There will always be a hint of weirdness, not to mention TV dramas, even commercials are scenes of couples who are breaking up.

This caused a lot of trouble for Higuchi Madoka and Sakakibara Kaede, and caused Higuchi Madoka to feel a little pain when he saw Sakakibara Kaede, as if something important was about to pass away.

It is true that there are some post-war reactions.

There is a feeling that if she doesn't say anything or do anything, the boy will leave and go to another place, and the two will never have a chance to meet again.

"What do you plan to do after graduating from Sakakibara-san University?"

This sentence came from Higuchi Madoka's mouth, which made Kaede Sakakibara slightly taken aback. She didn't seem to ask such questions normally, but seeing Toru Asakura's curiosity was also mobilized, Kaede Sakakibara nodded and said: " Dean Kimura said before that I can continue to stay in school to study for a monk's degree after graduation, and I think that's good too."

"Eh... what happened after that?" Toru Asakura asked curiously.

Higuchi Madoka glanced at her childhood sweetheart, and she actually thanked her for the assist at this time.

"This question, I don't know for the time being, I like actors, I may continue to be active in Tokyo as an actor, of course the singer is the same, the office is already considering the location of our concert after our two albums. "
