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

That afternoon.

"bell."

"Ah? Yes, yes! I, I'm not lazy!"

Suzu Sakakihara, who was hiding in the corner of the gymnasium, quickly put away her phone. She raised her head in panic, and she was relieved when she saw that it was Zhiyuki who appeared in front of her, not her brother.

"Huh~ I thought my brother was here to urge me again, but it turned out to be Yuki."

"Urgent?" Tianhai Zhixue, who was wearing a white short-sleeved sportswear, was stunned, as if she couldn't understand the meaning of the word.

Suzute Sakakibara, who was also wearing a short-sleeved sportswear and exposed a large area of ​​her white neck and collarbone, was making random gestures in the air, trying to explain:

"That's right, that's what. Ah, yes! It means very, very tired."

"Does this mean that Ling doesn't like Le?"

"No, but"

Sakakihara Suzu answered immediately, but after thinking about it, a speculative expression appeared on her face again, and then she sighed.

"Indeed. It's a little bit. Alas, the training over there is too tiring. It's better for Sister Liuli to be here. Sister Liuli won't tell me if I'm lazy, and my brother will come and chase me to continue practicing, saying It's only two weeks until the sports festival! How can you compete with people from other classes with your strength!"

To be honest, I didn't feel good about the women's basketball game at the sports festival at all.

As for why you still come to participate.

First, because Zhixue participated, she said she wanted to work hard to win the championship.

And she needs teammates, so she wants to help her.

Second, I heard that Sister Qiyue and Sister Liuli also participated in the women's basketball game.

I guess, isn't this a good opportunity for me to get in touch with the two of them? You can create bridges between several people by yourself.

Sakakihara Suzu suddenly turned into a disgusted face.

"Ling?" Tianhai Zhixue didn't understand why Ling suddenly changed to such an expression.

"It's nothing, I just think what someone said that day was too scumbag. If the person who said this was my boyfriend, I would definitely be cruel! Give him a slap in the face and tell him who is your girlfriend. !”

"."

Sakakihara Suzu stopped talking. She caught a glimpse of Tianhai Zhixue, who was silently lowering his head.

"yuki?"

She was still wondering why Zhixue suddenly became like this? It took her a while to remember,

By saying this now, isn't it just poking Yuki's scars?

"sorry"

Seeing Yuki apologize again, Sakakihara Suzu stood up quickly and made gestures in front of her, asking her to look up and see her explanation.

My brother said that Zhixue has been blaming herself now. If she is reminded of these things, she is likely to have an anxiety attack.

"Sorry, sorry! Yuki! I didn't mean that, I really didn't mean that!"

". Bell." Tianhai Zhixue lowered her head.

"Yeah, yeah! I'm listening, listening."

"Sister Qiyue and Sister Liuli are so angry now, is it all because of me?"

"No, it's not right! The person they are angry with is my brother, that scumbag."

"But Le is like that because of me, because I want to see Le and want Le to come visit me. Also because I like Le."

"stop!"

Sakakibara Suzu put her hands together with a loud "pop" sound, which directly interrupted Amami Noyuki's words.

After a moment of silence, she raised her face and faced the girl in front of her, who had a face as white as snow but with more shadows than before, and tried her best to smile:

"Yuki~~How about we not talk about this?"

"."

Seeing that she was silent, Sakakihara Suzu took her arm in his arms decisively and took her around to see Amami Kuruuri who was practicing intently on the basketball court.

"Look, sister Liuli hasn't taught you how to play ball these days? She also promised to form a team with you to participate in the competition. In fact, Yuki really doesn't have to blame herself so much. My brother treats you like this, and you can't help it if you like him. It’s his own choice to save you.”

"But..." Amami Nozuki glanced sideways at Sakakihara Suzu, who was hugging her next to her, "The joy is also because of me——"

"Look! Look! Sister Liuli is smiling over here! That smile is so handsome."

Amami no Yuki looked in the direction pointed by Sakakibara Suzu, and sure enough she saw Amami Kuruuri with a flaxen high ponytail and sportswear. After shooting a basket, she smiled in this direction.

Amami Nozuki didn't know if this was what Suzu said about being handsome, but Sister Liuli was really pretty and had a nice smile.

Especially the scene where he smiles softly and then moves on the basketball court.

Tianhai Zhixue looked at it with inexplicable longing, as if she saw something she never had in the flaxen ponytail.

"Look, Sister Liuli is still smiling at you. She doesn't blame you. Why should Yuki think about it?"

"." Tianhai Zhixue withdrew her gaze and was quiet for a while.

"Yuki? Do you understand?" Sakakihara Suzu asked again.

"Um"

"That's right, that's right. If you think about it this way, you'll feel better. There's no need to make yourself unhappy."

"Ling" Tianhai Zhixue paused and looked at her, "Ling must have had a very good relationship with me before."

"Of course. We eat delicious food and take selfies together every day. Wait a minute."

Sakakihara Suzu answered without hesitation, took out her mobile phone, flipped through the photo album and showed it to Zhixue one by one.

Although Tianhai Zhixue has no impression of the photos in it.

But I saw different scenes in the photos - snack bars, milk tea shops, coffee shops, shopping malls, streets, under trees, flower beds, and the seaside.

Seeing the two eating delicious food and taking selfies together for the camera, I still felt the friendship with Suzu Sakakihara in the past.

Ling is someone you can trust.

I told myself this as I looked at the past photos with Ling on my phone.

"bell."

"Aren't you going to read it? I still expected you to remember something." Suzu Sakakihara felt a little pity, put the phone back, and stared at the photo of the two of them.

".I want Le to reconcile with Sister Liuli and Sister Qiyue. I don't want to see Le feel uncomfortable because of me, and I don't want to see Le feel uncomfortable because of me."

Tianhai Zhixue lowered her head again, "But... I can't think of any way. I can only go to Sister Liuli and Sister Qiyue again and again, wanting to practice basketball with them."

"."

When Sakakihara Suzu heard this, her expression became unusually serious.

What does this mean?

This means that I am also being trusted, relied on, and needed by others.

Being looked at by Zhiyuki like this, Sakakihara Suzu felt very embarrassed:

"Well, of course. I also want them to reconcile. After all, the more they quarrel in a cold war, the more uncomfortable it will be for you Zhixue to be caught in the middle. As your good friend, I don't want to see you like this at all. , I want to see the pure and natural yuki from before!"

".Ling, is there anything you can do?"

"Method.?"

This is it.

Sakakibara Suzu looked up at the glass windows above the gymnasium where the sunlight was shining through. She thought seriously and began to sort out the current situation and reason out step by step.

"First of all, didn't I go to the Literature Department to say good things to my brother yesterday?"

"Did Ling go yesterday?"

"Yes, I went to the Literature Department after practicing with you. It was very hot yesterday and the sun was shining brightly. Sister Qiyue's place has air conditioning."

Sakakihara Suzu answered casually and continued to think, "I don't know if what I said is useful, but in the last month, sister-in-law took a look at you. That back view is very meaningful~~ It seems a little lonely, and What does it look like to be a little longing? I can’t describe it.”

"Let me think about it..."

Sakakihara Suzu pinched her chin, closed her eyes tightly, frowned, and tried hard to think about the details of yesterday.

"Yesterday afternoon, when I went in, she seemed to have planned to throw the fried rice that brother gave her into the trash can? But I said those words after I went in, and until I left, I didn't see Sister Qiu put that How about some fried rice?”

Sakakihara Suzu's brows furrowed together, she kept lowering her head while crossing her chest, and then suddenly realized.

"Well, that's true! Anyway, when I left, I still saw the fried rice on the conference table. This means that Sister Qiyue has changed to a certain extent!

"She's probably starting to think about my brother's attitude towards you, Yuki."

Suzu Sakakihara's sudden realization only lasted for a second.

"There should be some changes, but that's all. Brother, he is trying hard to get their forgiveness every day, but Liuli and Qiyue don't even look at him.

"The conflict between the two of them and my brother is that my brother's behavior has aroused their disgust. If you want to be forgiven, you must repent. But in this case, Yuki, you have no chance."

The more I think about it, the more I feel that things between these people are too complicated!

Zhixue's current situation is that she is incompatible with Qijiu.

They can be nice to Zhixue, but they don't recognize Zhixue's identity at all.

If you want the two of them to come back, there is no doubt that you need to show sincerity.

And if I show my sincerity, I must abandon Zhixue - this is completely different from the happy ending.

"By the way! Yuki, what is your relationship with my brother? Didn't you confess your love to him before and he still accepted it?"

"."

Tianhai Zhixue didn't know what to say, so she opened her mouth, and then said, "Le accepted it, but Le also said that there won't be that kind of relationship."

Ah, that means we won’t have a relationship that is too close.

No matter how you look at it, I don't like Yuki in that way.

In the past, he didn't feel anything when he saw Yuki coming out of the bathroom naked.

The close contact between the two of them was all because of Yuki's free gift.

Thinking about it this way, I have a reason to ask for forgiveness.

After all, if you really have that kind of relationship with Zhixue, it will be completely irreparable, right?

However, cheating is still cheating, and the relationship has been divided. It’s okay if I didn’t stab my brother with a knife in July.

Therefore, in order to resolve the current conflict, firstly, I need to change my attitude; secondly, I need Sister Qiyue and Sister Liuli to have the opportunity to contact him.

So, what opportunities are there for a few people to meet and have a good talk?

Sakakihara Suzu made a fist with her right hand, hammered it on the palm of her left hand, and looked forward:

"Yes!"

".Suzuki." Amami no Yuki saw Sakakihara Suzu's sudden inspiration.

"Uncle doesn't know about this yet! He said he was going on a trip to a foreign country. He has been away for a month and he hasn't come back yet. Yuki, wait a minute. I'll ask Liuli sister, uncle and my mother how they are doing now. .”

"Um."

After seeing Zhiyuki nodding, Sakakibara Suzu immediately ran to ask Amami Kuruuri who was playing basketball.

"Dad and aunt?"

Tianhai Jiuliuli put down the basketball in his hand and gasped, his flaxen hair on the temples already stained with sweat.

She made a show of remembering.

"Let me think about it. Since I traveled to Hokkaido during the last Golden Week, I suddenly went abroad. For example, I wanted to go to Denmark in Europe, and I had to take a ferry there."

"Ferry, like the Titanic?!" Suzu Sakakihara just found out about this, and her face was full of surprise.

Tianhai Jiuliuli's cheeks were covered with glistening sweat. She smiled nicely, "It's not that big, but it's almost the same. There are shopping malls, swimming pools and other large facilities on the ferry."

"Are you going to Europe? That's half a trip around the world!"

"That's right."

"Why so sudden?"

"Since my father promised me and Qiyue the last time, he probably felt that he failed to take good care of my aunt. He was always working and wanted to take her to travel around the world. He worked remotely and was managed by the office. A lawyer will handle it on your behalf.”

"Why don't my mother and uncle say anything? Please tell me carefully."

Tianhai Jiuliuli smiled awkwardly: "Father said so, but we didn't have a conflict some time ago, so I didn't have the chance to tell you about it."

After asking about the situation, Sakakihara Suzu ran back to Amami no Yuki.

She finally understood that her uncle and mother didn't know anything about the snow now!

Since several people are now in a cold war with each other, is it possible to use uncle and mother to tactfully facilitate a conversation between them?

You don't need to tell your uncle and mother everything, you just need to tell a few people that they are quarreling.

Um! that's all.

After thinking about this, Sakakihara Suzu took out her cell phone and dialed her mother's number first.

There was also an English announcement during the call, indicating that it was a forwarded international call.

[Hello. ]

The voice on the phone was a serious middle-aged man's voice.

"Uncle, uncle?" Sakakibara Suzu lowered her head and looked at the screen. She had dialed correctly.

[It's me, your mother. She was taking some air on the terrace, and her cell phone was left in the room. ]

"So this is ah."

[What's wrong with Ling? Or are you just calling to care about your mother's situation? ]

"It's something."

Sakakihara Suzu glanced at Zhiyuki one more time, took a deep breath, and closed her eyes.

After sorting out the revised words in her mind to ensure that her brother would not be thrown into the Pacific by her uncle, she started talking about the quarrel between a few people.

Five minutes later, Sakakihara Suzu reluctantly explained the reason for the change.

[]

Amami Madenori was quiet on the other side of the phone for a long time.

"Uncle? Is uncle still listening?"

[Well, I'm listening. Thank you Ling for being willing to tell me these things. I think you want to let the three of them communicate well through us, right? ]

"Yes, yes." Suzu Sakakihara nodded repeatedly, thinking that her stepfather was indeed a barrister. He was very organized and understood his thoughts immediately.

[The idea is a good idea, and Ling’s idea of ​​thinking about others deserves recognition. But is there some information hidden in Ling's rhetoric? For example, they were not actually having an ordinary quarrel, but Xiaole and Zhixue had something special going on. ]

Eh?

The words that came out of the phone made Suzu Sakakihara freeze on the spot.

What's going on?

The tone on the other end of the phone suddenly became serious, with a hint of dissatisfaction.

[Ling, in fact, Xiaole had a phone call with me about this more than ten days ago. He told me the whole truth, including his words about taking the initiative to take responsibility for Zhixue. ]

"Eh--?!"

Sakakihara Suzu was stunned and stood uneasy.

Did she hear it correctly?

Brother, you actually took the initiative to tell your uncle about this? !

This guy, this guy, isn't he looking for death? !
