About the fact that I unintentionally raised my sister to be a cripple

The plum rain in early June is variable in temperature and humidity. For the past few days, the air has been damp and cold.

I always go to play basketball these days, maybe it’s just because the rainy season is too boring, right?

That must be it.

The faint sound of rain came from outside the balcony of the living room, and Raku Sakakibara carefully pushed open the door of Amami Noyuki's room that had been closed for two weeks.

"Zhiya" sound.

The light penetrated into the room along the gradually expanding crack in the door, and fell on the dim corner of the bed.

The sheets were illuminated.

Sakakibara looked at the bed with the brown quilt cover and felt that the neat appearance of it now seemed a bit unreal.

You must know that this room has always been a mess since Zhixue moved in.

Guitars were placed in a mess, and clothes were piled in a mess. Skirts, jackets, T-shirts, pajamas, pants, and pants were either piled crumpled on top of each other, or hung alone on the edge of the bed.

And what about her?

There was just one person, barefoot, sleeping sideways among the piles of randomly stacked clothes.

Sakakihara Raku has become accustomed to this scene.

I'm used to the way she sleeps so peacefully and sweetly among the clothes.

Obviously very sloppy.

But every time he entered the room and saw her sleeping appearance, he had no intention of disturbing her.

certainly.

Afterwards, he would still give the girl a lesson and make her remember that after wearing her clothes, she must take them off every day and let her wash them off!

Even if you don’t wash it, you still have to put it in a dirty clothes basket!

Don't throw it around, and don't put it on your head when you go out to say you're hungry and want to eat!

certainly

Yuki never remembers these things.

The room is still a mess.

Always a mess.

Sakakihara Raku said to her a lot about this.

But now.

The room has been neatly tidied and will no longer be messy. Instead, I will have an inexplicable feeling that I have lost something.

The rain kept falling.

Sakakihara turned his eyes and suddenly saw a small gap in the window that was still open. The cold wind came in and the rain soaked a large area of ​​​​the desk.

"Why are the windows not closed?"

He quickly walked over and closed the window.

Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, he turned around and realized that there was still the "Life Manual" that yuki had returned to him on the wet desk.

When I think about it, Yuki would cherish this notebook with him every day.

Recalling the image of yuki cherishing it so much.

Sakakihara subconsciously came up with the idea of ​​​​protecting this manual.

He quickly found a rag to wipe the rain off the desk, pulled up a chair and sat down, turned on the desk lamp, and used the light to carefully separate the wet corners of the paper page by page.

He found a pack of paper towels and inserted new dry paper towels into the wet pages to absorb the moisture.

"That's not good."

Although this notebook has a leather cover, there are still some raindrops soaked into the paper along the corners of the cover.

Sakakibara opened it and looked at it, and found that the corners of the notebook were seriously wet from the rain.

Many pages were stuck together and wrinkled.

Among them, many handwritings written with gel pens became larger and blurred due to water stains.

Seeing the handwriting above that was blurred by the rain, Sakakibara felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Above are my suggestions and comments to yuki.

In order to make the regulations not just boring text, I would occasionally draw some small expressions and kaomoji. These are things I learned from Liuli and A Ling.

Yuki likes the little expressions drawn in these paintings.

Seeing the blurred expressions and the blurred words, Sakakihara Raku could even remember how well-behaved he was after he wrote the regulations and asked Yuki to remember and recite them to him.

yuki is very good

Every time she finished writing, she would recite it very seriously. Although after reciting it, she would always say to herself "fried ice cream."

Just thinking about how stupid she looks when she talks makes me smile.

And now these are almost wiped away by the rain.

Sakakihara closed the manual and pressed it gently. After pressing it, he opened the book and took out all the tissues. Then he stood the manual on the table and opened it in a fan shape.

After completing this series of actions.

Wait for the manual to dry naturally.

‘If Zhixue sees the manual like this, I’m afraid she’ll be heartbroken to death, right? ’

Sakakihara couldn't help but think so. He looked back at the room again and observed the things left by Yuki in the room.

Yuki took basically nothing with her, except the necessary clothes and the guitar her mother left for her.

Everything else is put aside here.

It would be a pity to lose these things.

Including the white cat stuffed animal.

Sakakihara remembered that yuki loved to hold him and would sleep with him every night.

This is very childish.

But the essence is that she is insecure and lonely.

Sakakihara picked up the white cat doll, placed it in front of him, and stared at it for a long time.

In the white cat's lazy expression, he seemed to see the snow that day.

*

"By the way, Zhixue has been at school for so long and you haven't made any new friends yet?"

Sakakibara remembered asking her such a question when he called her to get up early one morning to eat.

It was a bright day, and the solar energy shined directly through the gauze curtains and onto the edges and corners of the bed. He sat on the bedside and combed the messy long hair of Tianhai Zhixue who had just woken up.

He sat in the brightest place, while Tianhai Zhixue swung his little feet back and forth. Sakakibara clearly remembered that the morning sun slanted across half of her soft cheeks. After hearing her voice of inquiry, she turned her head and looked at herself blankly behind her.

The sun illuminated her clear eyes.

"It's good to have fun."

After saying that, she paused, then turned back and looked at her "foot swinging game" of swinging back and forth alternately.

It's good to have fun.

After hearing this, Sakakihara Raku was filled with emotion.

"Although I have no friends, I have fun by my side." The complete sentence is probably like this.

Think about it carefully, did she say this out of 100% trust in herself?

*

Listening to the seemingly endless sound of the rain outside the window, Sakakibara put down the white cat doll and picked up the snow girl pottery doll on the bookshelf.

Staring at the natural expression of the Snow Girl pottery doll, I was once again stunned.

"finished--"

His vision gradually blurred, and a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

Sakakibara frowned, followed the voice, and tried to recall, remembering that it was at noon on a Wednesday before his uncle's birthday.

In the classroom, I was looking up at the sky outside the window, and suddenly I heard Tianhai Zhixue, who was sitting at the next table, say these words.

He turned his head and suddenly found a painting in front of him.

In the painting, I am holding a gel pen and looking out the sunny window. The books on the desk are slowly blown by the wind. At the same time, the leaves of the zelkova tree that extend to the window are also moving.

Although it is just a sketch, it is so exquisite that you feel that every stroke is very sophisticated.

Even though there was no painting of his own face, only the back of his head, Sakakihara Raku could still tell at a glance that he was the one in the painting.

".Why draw me again?"

He raised his head and looked at Tianhai Zhixue, who was holding the corners of the A4 paper with both hands and showing it to him.

"Sister Zi said that we should practice painting more."

"You don't have to draw me all the time to practice, right?"

"Sister Zi said that painting is to paint the most beautiful scenery in your heart. Also, as long as the painting is completed, others will also like it."

"You have to call Teacher Zi at school. What kind of scenery do you think I am painting?"

"Don't you like it?" Tianhai Zhixue took the painting back and looked at it, then asked him in a lower voice.

"It's just so-so. Let's try another one with Yuki. Ha~~~ Come on, Yuki will be good enough if he paints ten more landscapes!"

Compared with his sleepy and relaxed appearance, Tianhai Zhixue's eyes were very serious.

"Really? I just need to draw ten more landscape paintings and I will like it?"

At that time, because Qijiu's problem had just been solved, I was very tired every night and had little time to take care of Zhixue. I almost just wanted to send her away with a careless look, go back to her seat, and let myself take time to take a good nap. So he casually said:

"certainly."

"Then I'll paint."

Tianhai Zhixue immediately left her side and sat back in her original seat. She took out a new piece of A4 paper, took out a sketch pen, and began to draw seriously.

This move made Sakakibara Raku's sleepiness gradually dissipate, and he stared at her serious expression for a long time.

So she started painting this kind of painting just to make herself like it from the very beginning?

So serious and focused

When he thought of this, Sakakihara Raku felt a little sour in his heart. A feeling of pity arose spontaneously.

What I just said to you was just to send you back to your seat. Why should I be so serious?

But once he saw her painting seriously, the idea of ​​calling her stopped.

The first painting was not finished until the second period in the afternoon, and she still painted it secretly behind the teacher's back.

The moment she finished the painting, she came over and gave the painting to herself.

"I'm going to draw the second one."

As she said this, she returned to her seat, asked Liuli in front of her to help sharpen her sketch pen, and then began to draw seriously again.

Sakakihara Raku was stunned as he looked at the "landscape painting" he had drawn in his hand.

*

Is this considered cheating?

Staring at the manual standing on the desk, Sakakibara couldn't help but think as he recalled the past.

Deceive her innocent feelings

Just deal with her wonderful blessings to you.

Treat her like a child.

Be casual about her emotions.

If you think about it carefully, Yuki has always been true to his feelings.

But he has been trying to use the "brother and sister" relationship to avoid her feelings for him.

Isn't this "perfunctory"?

"Really? I just need to draw ten more landscape paintings and I will like it?"

——I think about this sentence now.

It seems like she just wants to make herself happy.

Yuki drew ten pictures because of what she said. She just thought it would make herself happy.

Looking at the crumpled "Snow Manual" in front of him, Sakakihara thought of the scene when she handed the manual back to him——

Say sorry.

Keep apologizing.

Her movements and her eyes were full of reluctance to let go of the manual in her hand, but she still insisted on returning it and said words like "Please let me go back."

Sakakihara Raku suddenly understood.

Yuki. From beginning to end, she just wanted to make herself - just wanted to make Sakakibara happy.

Even if she took the initiative to leave, it was because she realized that she was causing trouble for herself.

Yuki, you have grown up.

"call--"

Sakakibara put his hands on the desk and took a deep breath.

While she was growing up, he, the person who had single-handedly facilitated her growth, chose to abandon her.

Am I being too cruel?

Even though I didn’t get along with Yuki for a long time.

But after the scenes and the time spent together, I already had feelings for her that were hard to let go of.

"Brother! Brother!!"

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Sakakihara Suzu hurried to the door. She was panting, holding on to the door frame with both hands, and her shoulders were still slightly wet from the raindrops.

Looks like he just came back.

"Why? So anxious again."

"I do! I have news about yuki!"

"." This made Sakakihara hesitate for a moment.

Sakakibara Suzu covered her heart and took a deep breath before walking in proudly: "Then it has to be me! When I went to Tianhai's house today, I called a taxi in advance and waited near the door for Uncle Ying. After he went out, I followed him quietly. Hum~ I found him as expected."

"Good thing." Sakakibara just said.

"Of course it's a good thing! But finding Yuki is a good thing. But the next news is not so good," Suzu Sakakihara said unhappily.

"What?"

"I followed Uncle Ying all the way to the hospital. I also followed him outside the ward. Sure enough, Yuki was sick again. It seemed that this time it was particularly serious. She has been staying in the hospital for the past two weeks."

"Always staying in the hospital?"

Sakakibara muttered and repeated.

"Then!" Sakakibara Suzu became anxious, her hands flying in the air, "Then Uncle Ying said that he wanted to send Zhiyue to the fourth lady! What was the situation of the fourth lady? I have never heard of it."

"...Probably Yuki's sister. I have seen the family's files. It seems that their family settled in Kyushu."

"Kyushu?! It's too far, too far! No, we can't let yuki go there! Brother, didn't you hear what sister Zi said? None of the yuki sisters are good to yuki. They are all dissatisfied with her because of yuki's birth."

Sakakihara shook his head, "The specific situation is not clear yet, just ask Qiyue and Liuli, they happen to be at home."

Just as Sakakihara Raku was about to walk out, he was grabbed by Sakakihara Suzu.

"What?" Sakakihara turned around.

Sakakibara Suzu took his arm and puffed up her face: "No! You can't tell Nan Mingyue and Jiu Liuli!"

"Are you afraid that they will take advantage of the situation and send Yuki away?"

"Otherwise? Given their position, sending Yuki away is the best choice."

Sakakibara Suzu seemed to remember something, and her eyes widened at Sakakibara Raku.

"By the way! I suddenly forgot! Brother, you also support sending Yuki away! How can I discuss this with you, idiot! No way. You can't be separated from me for a moment now, you have to stay with me Go to the hospital to find Zhixue!"

"."

Sakakihara Suzu came behind Sakakihara Raku, put her hands in front of her, and kept pushing him away to leave the room: "Go quickly, go quickly!"

"."

However, due to this girl's strength, Sakakihara Raku felt like she couldn't even move a step for a long time.

"Brother, if you don't come with me to win over Liu Zhixue, I will tell my uncle about Zhixue drinking your milk!"

Absolutely enough

Sakakihara Raku suddenly turned into dead eyes, and turned around helplessly and said to his sister: "Okay, okay, I'll just go with you."

"That's weird. Are you agreeing now?" Suzu Sakakihara looked at her with distrust, "You were still unwilling to go with me a few days ago."

"You forced me to go, what can I do?"

"I don't believe you, you old fox! There must be something fishy about agreeing so quickly."

".If I were an old fox, you would also be a female fox."

"I'm not."

Sakakibara Suzu reached into Sakakibara Raku's trouser pocket and instantly grabbed his cell phone.

"What are you doing?" Sakakihara wanted to grab her hand, but he didn't grab it yet.

"Hehe~" Sakakihara Suzu deliberately waved in front of him and said with a smile, "Insurance! In case you secretly contact Sister Qiyue and Sister Liuli."

"."

"Okay, okay! Stop being in a daze and get out of here!"

"Okay, okay, I'm your brother!"

"What's the difference between a brother and a brother, huh! In the eyes of my sister, a brother who has something to do is just a piece of shit with a combat power of only 5! Don't believe it? If you don't believe it, be careful that I report it to my uncle~"

".Smelly guy."

"Um--?"

"Hi hi, private Marseille~"

"Humph, that's pretty much it."

Sakakibara Suzu happily took Sakakibara Raku's hand, pulled him away from Amami Kuruuri and Amami Nanamigetsu who were practicing piano at home, found an umbrella, and sneaked out together.
