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

Thousands of meters in the air.

Huge airplanes shuttled between the clouds and swooped down. After a 12-hour flight, we are about to land at Heathrow Airport, thousands of kilometers away from Tokyo.

Looking down from the cabin window, the grassland, runway and terminal building of the airport are gradually visible, and even the figures of the ground staff are becoming clearer.

After the plane landed, the lights in the cabin gradually brightened, soothing music came from the loudspeaker, the flight attendants opened the curtains and walked out of the lounge, and the passengers in the seats gradually woke up from their sleep.

Tianhai Jiuliuli, who was sitting quietly at position 14b, moved the dial on her wrist backwards for 8 hours.

The dial has officially reached London time - July 15th, Saturday, five o'clock in the morning.

She turned her head and saw Raku Sakakihara sleeping next to her.

The day after the sports festival, Saturday, July 15th, at one o'clock in the evening, the plane to the UK officially took off.

Lejun's invitation was actually a bit sudden.

First, the temperature in the UK tends to be mild, and the red beauty of maple leaves cannot be appreciated until September to November in autumn. If you come here now, you can probably only see Green Leaf Avenue.

Second, coming to the UK at this time, there is no competition to talk about. Even July A Ling and the others did not come with them.

Even though Amami Kuruuri was happy to be alone with Sakakibara Raku for such a long time, without everyone's presence, she still felt that something was missing around her.

(A succession of message bubbles.)

Tianhai Jiuliuli picked up her phone and saw several messages from a user with a selfie of a girl with scissor hands.

It seemed like the plane had no network in the sky and received a lot of calls immediately after landing.

[Is Sister Liuli here? You must take good care of my brother. I always feel like something is wrong with him recently. But when we are alone together, he is very normal and ah! I’m quite unhappy that I can’t accompany you to England this time. After all, I always feel like you’ve abandoned me! ]

[(The expression of the rabbit crossing its chest and stamping its feet in anger)]

[But there is really no way. I have to rehearse for the next concert and I really can’t find the time. Last time I practiced basketball with everyone, it took up a lot of my time, and I didn't learn much in my subsequent studies. But, hey, now the final results are out, and my brother's test questions are really useful. I am directly ranked in the grade. 14th! He’s much taller than yuki!

[I'm really happy about this. Yuki has become much more cheerful than before, and she seems to be back to the past. So, we want to ask Sister Liuli to occasionally buy him some small gifts, snacks, etc. when she is in the UK. My brother, since he was a child, no one except me would give him gifts. Because he used to be the kind of nerd who only immersed himself in studying, occasionally went out for a run, and was just a little handsome.

[When sister Liuli comes back, I will personally make a cake to give to sister Liuli to express my gratitude! Eh! Sister Liuli, don’t dislike it. That must be the first time I successfully made a finished cake. If my brother hadn’t been reluctant to cook recently and insisted on me learning to make it myself, I wouldn’t have made it. ]

[(Rabbit with arms crossed and head raised confidently)]

The news is gone here.

The last message was at 3:30 a.m. Tokyo time.

Tianhai Jiuliuli smiled after reading these messages. She could tell that Ling would feel particularly uncomfortable with Lejun leaving her side.

That's why I sent myself a message in the middle of the night to express my concern.

[ok]

Replying with a small emoticon, Tianhai Jiuliuli put away the phone.

At the same time, she also discovered that Raku Sakakihara was already awake at this time. He was facing the narrow oval window of the plane, observing London at five in the morning, without saying anything.

"Lejun, what are you thinking about? You keep looking outside."

"It's nothing," Sakakibara looked away, "I just feel that except for the increase in English and the different people, this airport doesn't look much different."

"After all, they are all modern facilities. In fact, if you go to major urban centers in China, you will know that many shops and many decoration styles are not much different."

"Yes," Raku Sakakihara smiled as he faced Amami Kuruuri's lovely face that looked very gentle, "Well, this time we also ran out secretly. We didn't have much time and we had enough sleep, so we just went How about going to the place you most want to visit?"

"don't want."

"Um?"

"I don't want to. Of course I have to save the best for last, how can I go there first!"

"Yeah, that's right. Then I'll just listen to Liuli during this short trip. How about that?"

"Listen to me the whole time." Tianhai Jiuliuli hesitated for two seconds, blinked, and then immediately laughed, "Of course."

There is nothing urgent about this trip, so the schedule is not very long.

According to the arrangement along the way, it will take about three or four days to cover all the places you want to go?

They had already slept enough on the plane, so after they got off the plane, they were ready to leave without stopping.

Tianhai Jiureli spent a long time tinkering on her mobile phone but couldn't register a local taxi app, so she could only walk out of the airport with Sakakibara Raku carrying her suitcase.

After twists and turns, it took a lot of effort to find a place where I could take a taxi.

Tianhai Jiuliuli was pulling her suitcase, wearing a dress and a summer sunhat, her eyes full of curiosity.

"British taxis are black, so old-fashioned, like a big black box. Why are they black?"

Sakakihara stood on the roadside with her, holding the suitcase in his hand, and looked with her at the black taxi approaching from a distance.

"Liu Li, do you remember the black carriage that you often see in movies and TV shows?"

"Ah, I have an impression. I have seen it in many works."

"In the middle of the 17th century, box carriages were popular throughout the UK. The most striking feature was their black color. Not only was the body black, but even the driver had to wear a black suit and even a black top hat. Later, class differentiation appeared in the carriages, and more and more As the industrial revolution was gradually replaced by the internal combustion engine, what remains unchanged is the black paint used on various passenger cars."

"That's it." Tianhai Jiuliuli nodded, even more curious, "How does Lejun know this?"

Sakakihara replied: "Last time, it was three months ago anyway. I can't remember the day. Nanamigyue insisted on dragging me to watch a vampire movie. I asked her and she introduced it to me."

"No wonder it smells like July is introducing."

As Tianhai Jiuliuli spoke, he reached out to hail a taxi on the side of the road, but unexpectedly did not continue the topic.

Arriving at the hotel booked in advance, Sakakibara Raku simply packed up and was about to leave, but Amami Kuruuri didn't come out.

In fact, this psychology is also easy to understand.

Liuli regarded this trip not only as a simple trip, but also as a travel date in a world where only two people could live together.

Dong. Dong Dong

The movement of high heels stopped after a knock on the door.

Sakakibara raised his head, and time seemed to stop.

She wears a cool white dress with delicate light blue and indigo trimmings on the edge, making the color bright and lively. A lightweight belt is tied around the waist, matching the skirt to highlight the slender waist. Her long flaxen hair was styled into a wheat-ear-style princess braid on the side, neat and clean, revealing her slender neck.

In addition, I don't know whether she put on lipstick or lip balm, but she looked very natural. When she smiled faintly at herself, there seemed to be a light sweetness in her heart.

Coupled with her already tall height.

What a beautiful big girl.

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

Tianhai Jiuliuli's shy smile and her coy voice like a little girl made her more real.

"It's hard to say." Sakakihara picked up his chin and looked at it carefully.

"What can't be said? No, doesn't it look good? I spent more than half an hour dressing up."

"I mean, Liuli, you dress up so maturely, but you still blush like a little girl who has just fallen in love. Such a gesture is very subtle and difficult to evaluate."

".If you want to praise someone, just say it!"

Sakakihara Raku did not answer her words, but because she was so beautifully dressed, he couldn't help but look at her for a long time.

Tianhai Jiuliuli noticed his eyes that suddenly stopped in place, "Are you stunned?"

"."

"Lejun?"

Raku Sakakihara suddenly shook his head, "It's nothing, I just think it's impressive that Liuli spends so much energy on dressing up just when you go out."

"Moved? Happy?"

"Happiness is happiness. But it's more of a different mood."

Sakakibara couldn't describe it. He just looked at Liuli's eyes and looked at the face that was exactly the same as Qiyue's, and he always thought of the compromises she had made to take care of herself again and again.

To this day, she still has a clear scar on her stomach.

And when he told them that he was responsible for Zhixue a while ago, Liuli was basically not angry with him.

It was as if she was determined to follow him, following him firmly.

Amami Kuruuri suddenly came to Sakakibara Raku's side, put his hands behind his back, slightly bent down, looked at him sideways, and said with a smile:

"Since Lejun can't say it, why don't you say it? We are here for our honeymoon. Before, I never thought I would have a boy I like so much. I think he is super hard-working and super nice to people. . I never thought that one day he would appear in front of me, like a savior, pulling me out of the quagmire, and then giving me infinite care and infinite strength after making mistakes."

"."

Sakakibara Raku didn't know how to reply to Amami Kuruuri's comments about him.

Maybe that was true for my past self.

I will try to forgive her as much as possible, I will try to understand her experience as much as possible, I will try to understand her weaknesses and the real reasons why she made mistakes.

But will this repair the wound on her stomach?

Obviously it can't be done.

"Lejun.? Why are you always in a daze lately?"

"I'm thinking about something," Sakakibara replied, putting his hands in his pockets, "Besides, before setting off, Ruri, what do you think of me now?"

"How's it going? Lejun, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"lie."

"That means everything is fine with Lejun and nothing has changed."

"What's the truth?"

"Lejun, I have become less like Lejun in many cases. Those words you said to Qiyue. I also think that they are not words you can say to Lejun at all. No matter how you look at it, from you and Qiyue Judging from the past, it is extremely irrational.”

"Really? But, Liuli, those are indeed what I said."

"Lejun really thinks that?"

"I'm tired, Liuli. Now I don't want to worry about taking care of someone's feelings. For you, this actually goes against your original intention of liking me. Isn't it that what you like is to take care of the people around you? Me? And now, I have changed. This is why you feel disobedient to me."

Tianhai Jiuliuli stood there, trying to understand what he said.

But no matter how you understand it, between the lines of his words, you can always draw only one conclusion - I am no longer the me you like.

"Lejun, what does this sentence mean?"

"literal meaning."

"I think it's Lejun who is joking."

"No kidding."

"Lejun, didn't you bring me to England?"

"Well, because I want to know, Liuli, what kind of choice you will have for me after understanding this."

"."

Tianhai Jiuliuli was silent.

The biggest reason is because she doesn't know how to answer Sakakibara Raku's words.

As he said, he has changed. He is no longer the Lejun who used to take good care of others and always take care of them unconditionally. His smiles recently have become less and more forced.

You can see it yourself.

Because of this, what kind of choice should I make about him?

Amami Kuruuri didn't answer, or he didn't want to understand the answer, but after a long silence, he was driven out of the hotel by Sakakihara Raku's words, "Let's go and see London together."

*

Take a taxi and arrive at the first stop of your journey to the UK, the British Museum.

As one of the four major museums in the world, Tianhai Jiuliuli is a bit disappointed. There is no majestic square in front of the main entrance, and it is not even on a wide enough street. The exterior of the museum is an all-too-familiar Greek architectural style. The classical design makes it overly simplified and far from the shocking details brought by Baroque and Gothic architecture.

The cultural relics inside are still so diverse that they are novel and shocking.

However, the two of them did not have any communication during this period. They were just like passers-by in life, passing through rare and historic sites that have been passed down for thousands of years.

Second stop, Buckingham Palace.

We arrived at Buckingham Palace at 11:20 noon. Even at noon, the place was already crowded with tourists who came to watch the changing of the guard ceremony. Many tourists took advantage of the situation early and would rather stand and wait for two or three hours to catch a glimpse of the royal style.

Before the ceremony began, the female Royal Cavalry riding a white horse maintained order in front of Buckingham Palace. Ten minutes later, Royal soldiers wearing red military uniforms and bearskin hats walked from the park on the left towards Buckingham Palace. The neat procession was led by drummers. Walk along the left side of the square to the main entrance of the palace, and complete the changing of the guard ceremony in Buckingham Palace.

The process was very heroic and attractive, but the two of them only exchanged a few simple sentences.

The third stop, Oxford University, the fourth stop, Tower Bridge, London, both of them hurriedly passed by like strangers.

It wasn't until late at night that Tianhai Jiuliuli said what he had been holding back all day at the door of the hotel:

"I don't care if you have changed, Lejun. I just like you. I've been exposed to you all my life, and it's all up to you. I don't care about your opinion, Lejun, even if you Things have changed! Even if you don’t agree, I will still insist on my choice – to stay with you!”

The evening breeze in the UK seems to be no different from that in Tokyo.

It's even colder.

Sakakihara heard her calling him from behind and did not look back, but in his heart he understood the difference between her and the past because of her words.

In the past, Liuli would probably only compromise and long for things, but she didn't dare to tell herself what she wanted most and ask for it, right?

So much so that when she was at her most desperate, she just pointed the knife at herself.

But now, she has been able to express all the things she wants and her own thoughts to herself.

Isn't this a sign that Liuli has grown up?
