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

People are invited to the river, but they don’t go to the river at all.

Wuyang was crowded with people, and the area near the bridge was even more jam-packed with cars and people. The police stood on top of the police propaganda vehicle and used loudspeakers to repeatedly remind tourists not to crowd.

"There are so many people here, but luckily we didn't go to the Sumida River. I'm afraid there will be picnic cloths placed on the road every few kilometers this year."

Sakakibara glanced at the other side, and then returned her gaze to the side of Amami Nanamiyue's face. She stared blankly at the crowds of people entering the temple fair. The silver hairpin in her hair shone in the wind.

"What are you thinking about in July?"

Tianhai Qimingyue's expression was cold as usual, with only the gaze that silently stared forward brought a hint of warmth.

Even though Raku Sakakihara called her in her ear, she remained silent as if she didn't hear him.

"July.?"

Tianhai Qimingyue looked away and closed her eyes, "It's nothing. I just think there are a lot of people here and it's very lively."

"It's a summer festival after all." Sakakibara continued to say to her, "There are too many people on the other side of the river and we can't get through. How about I take you over to visit the temple fair outside the shrine?"

"It's up to you."

"Give me that hand."

When Sakakibara said this, Nanami Nanami saw that her hand had separated from his at some point. She looked at his face, hesitated for a moment, and then held it.

The two walked into the street and were immediately surrounded by the lively music of the festival.

Raku Sakakibara saw a stall selling animal marshmallows, so he took Nanami Nanami's hand and went there with him. When the boss asked "What animal do you want?", Raku Sakakibara said "shark" without thinking. Two words, and the keyword "extra large" is also added.

He paid for it smoothly, took the giant marshmallow from the boss with a smile, and handed the marshmallow to Tianhai Qimingyue in the eyes of envy and surprise from the children lining up behind him.

Next, even when she started walking slowly in the temple fair, Tianhai Qimingyue kept her eyes on the shark marshmallow, dumbly noticing the funny expression caused by the boss's poor skills.

Sakakihara looked at her several times during this period, but he had never seen Qiyue with such a silly expression similar to Ruri's.

"What are you doing staring at a marshmallow for so long? You're stupid."

"...Do you still remember what I like?" Tianhai Qimingyue muttered softly.

"Don't you just like little sharks in July?"

"anything else?"

"potato chips."

"besides?"

"Potato chips fried rice. I like light food other than potato chips fried rice with less salt for dinner. I prefer bread with some salad for breakfast. I like to hold on to your glasses when I have nothing to do. You also say you don't care about me, but you always send me away. The pair of glasses I gave you should be wiped several times a day." Sakakihara blurted out without spending much time thinking about it.

When he said this, he didn't think it was anything at first until he saw Tianhai Qimingyue's quiet profile.

There is not a stray hair beside the ears, it is very clean and smooth, and it is all tucked into the bun on the back of the head. The bun was even more carefully prepared, with not only silver ornaments inserted, but also several lavender velvet flowers.

It was obvious that she had dressed herself up before going out today.

"Feel sorry."

"Apologise for what?"

".I haven't spoken to you much in the past month."

Tianhai Qimingyue then moved her eyes to his face, ". It seems you are not too stupid."

After chatting here, the two fell silent again, each looking at their own eyes.

They all know what has been hindering the relationship between the two of them recently. It is not a problem of either party, but a slight gap between both parties.

After walking absent-mindedly for a while, Sakakihara Raku didn't even look at Amami Nanamigetsu, but kept thinking about her holding a marshmallow, wearing a yukata, and her small side face as beautiful as a handicraft.

Is she hinting at herself by looking at the marshmallows she bought for her?

She dressed up so beautifully when she went out tonight. Was she taking the initiative to tell herself that she wanted to talk to herself about what was on her mind?

The answers to these questions may already be in his mind, but at this moment, it was extremely difficult to express them to her. I don’t know what I should say to her or how to start a conversation with her.

"July." Sakakihara looked at her snow-white neck from the side.

"Well, do you have anything to say?" Tianhai Qimingyue ate the marshmallow gently.

".Is it because I haven't spoken to you for a month, making you feel insecure?"

Even though the question was small enough and tactful enough, Tianhai Qimingyue still paused after hearing it.

Sakakibara looked up at the night sky of the festival, "Or maybe it's because we haven't really reconciled since we came back from England, so July started to worry about gains and losses?"

He withdrew his gaze, looked at the girl, and said with a smile:

"It is precisely for this reason that in Qiyue, you asked me just now whether I still remember your preferences, and you were very happy because I gave you a marshmallow just now."

"." Tianhai Qimingyue opened her mouth slightly, but did not speak at first. After two seconds of hesitation, she frowned, "You'd better not take yourself too seriously."

"Then I'll go jump into the sea."

".Farewell." Tianhai Qimingyue's voice became faster in an instant, and her steps moved slightly towards him.

Sakakibara retracted his world-weary expression, turned around, and smiled at the girl again, "Look, after all this, you are still a little bit stubborn in July. Is it because you haven't gotten rid of your anger in July last time?"

".So. Even now I know that you bastard said those words to me on purpose."

"But you really believed it at that time, and you had uncomfortable emotions about it, and you still linger to this day, right?" Sakakihara's expression and words softened, and she continued to speak.

"I only know that I wanted to throw away all the things you gave me, but I didn't have the heart to do it. Then I thought that the person I wanted to believe would actually say those things to me."

Even though Amami Nanamigetsu didn't finish what she said, Sakakibara Raku could still hear the emotions in her words.

July actually has a problem that is more serious than Liuli.

That's her sense of security

Her life is all based on the phantom of the past.

This makes her emotionally helpless, basically only trusting herself and the person who saved her in the past.

After experiencing many things, she chose to believe in herself, believing that he would give her a reliable emotion and give her a life of mutual support and trust that she had never had before.

It is useless to pursue past mistakes now. Sakakibara only understood Qiyue's deep love for him by recalling these things.

Those words that deliberately irritated her really hurt her.

Sakakihara looked at her and wanted to apologize to her again, but she saw it and stopped her.

"I know what you are thinking, and now I also understand your heart and motivations of not letting go of the snow. Maybe people are selfish. Obviously I was rescued by you like that. Now, the 'I' in the past has been replaced by yuki , but I can’t accept you putting that kind of thing on others again.”

"."

Tianhai Qimingyue was quiet for a while.

"Now I don't blame you at all. If I do, blame the Tianhai family. People in this family never know what home is, and they always only think about work and money. I envy Ling very much. I have often heard about her and The story of you growing up together. Even if you have no money, even if you can only live in a leaky house, you can cuddle up with each other for warmth and continue to move towards tomorrow with energy.

"My aunt also told me about you when you were young. She said that when you were in elementary school, whenever you went to find Ling, Ling would call you 'brother', smile and rush to you happily, and hug you together. And I and I Sister, even the college life where only the two of us are present at the graduation ceremony, there is not much to talk about.

"If I had a brother like that, maybe I wouldn't be like this now and I could be like Ling, happy every day, and face the new day with a smile every day."

July, who likes to laugh every day just like Ling.

Sakakibara imagined it for a while, but he couldn't imagine it. That kind of situation was not actually July.

"And because of this, you kept teasing me when we first met?"

Tianhai Qimingyue held a marshmallow in her hand and squinted her eyes: "Didn't you realize that I also prefer the playful kind of person in my heart? Why do you think it's like this now?"

The first July

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the only characteristic left is "no expression".

Emotional matters were too serious and heavy, and she no longer had the mood to joke with herself as before.

"I particularly want to ask you a question now."

"Huh? What do you want to ask?"

"You bastard, why are you so hard to chase?"

Nanami Nanami's serious expression immediately made Sakakibara laugh, "I can't help it, who told me to be so good."

Tianhai Qimingyue frowned and twisted his waist, "I can't stand how arrogant you bastard is in front of me."

"Hey, you're doing this again? Qi Qi, don't say it! I can't stand your usual arrogance and arrogance. You're tough-talking. You know you're tough-talking every day. Sooner or later, you're going to lose to your tough-talking."

"I think that's reasonable."

"Look, you're still being stubborn. I really want to stuff A-Ling's chicken legs into your mouth!"

"Chicken legs?" Tianhai Qi Mingyue curled her lips in disdain and turned away in disgust, "I didn't see how powerful you were when you stuffed that thing into my mouth."

"."

Amami Nanamigetsu's words choked Sakakihara Raku so much that he couldn't even form a single word for a long time.

This aunt doesn’t even look where she is? !

Can such private matters be brought up and discussed casually?

When he went to look at her again, he saw the corners of her mouth moving upwards - this was clearly mocking her for overestimating her abilities!

"Ahem," Raku Sakakihara cleared his throat, "A few months ago, I don't know who suddenly had to go on a business trip for a week out of nowhere. Isn't that scary?"

"Business trip? It's just a routine thing for me. I don't know how you were able to contact me and I'm afraid of you? Who in the entire Akita Junior High School doesn't know your nickname, Sakakibara Raku?"

poison.

Very poisonous tongue.

Her two words directly caused Sakakihara Raku's "I'm sorry" mood that he had built up a second ago to collapse instantly, and he could only think about how to deal with this bastard girl.

But think about it carefully after you calm down.

But she discovered that Qi Qi's words had another profound meaning - she didn't want to burden her mentally too much, and deliberately said some annoying words to balance the feelings between them.

Thinking about it this way, when I look at Tianhai Qimingyue again, I just feel that she is ten thousand times more adorable.

"Why are you so caring? I've already done this to you."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Sakakibara sighed, and then smiled at her cold face, "If anyone in this world can marry a wife like Qiyue, he will definitely be happy for the rest of his life. If you are beautiful, you can make money, and you are capable, or... The key to a super-rich young lady is that she always thinks about the people she likes, trusts them absolutely, and insists on them absolutely."

"Just saying these things doesn't mean you can get rid of the title of bastard on your head." Tianhai Qimingyue glanced at him secretly from the corner of her eye.

Sakakibara went directly to hold her hanging little hand and squeezed her softness in his palm, "Then why don't you tell someone how should someone try to get rid of it now?"

Qi Qi's hands are small and, as usual, cool and soft.

Tianhai Qimingyue was unexpectedly quiet for half a minute, and then said:

"First of all, I just walked around the temple fair for a while and didn't eat much. Secondly, someone wanted a small piece of jewelry as a souvenir and apology gift. She only wanted a shark, and she wouldn't accept any other jewelry. If she couldn't find it, she wouldn't buy it. forgive."

"that's it?!"

"that's it."

"Someone should use 'July is so wonderful!' to express his mood at this time."

"It's best to express it in a lifetime. Don't forget that someone still owes me a lifetime of stories."

"Yes. Your love in Qiyue is worth someone's lifetime treatment."

"It's good to know that Zhixue and sister existed before he agreed. They are exceptions. I will only have one request from him in the future."

Amami Nanamigetsu and Sakakibara Raku were walking along the busy streets together, neither looking at each other but looking at the lively temple fair in front of them.

"What is it?"

"Stop making yourself responsible for other people!"

"That's quite playful."

"I'm serious, don't let me hit you guy in the head with a marshmallow!"

"You are so cute that I want to hug you."

The next second, "Hey!", Sakakihara laughed as the girl exclaimed, "What are you going to do?!"

Not only did he hold Tianhai Qimingyue in front of him, he also forced one of her hands to tighten around his neck.

The tourists around them all looked at the two people in the middle of the temple fair.

"It's gotten heavier."

"Asshole," Tianhai Qimingyue's delicate face became very strange in his arms, "I don't know if this is in front of outsiders again?"

"I know, I seemed to have hugged you like this last time. As for which time, I can't remember clearly. But it's not important. The important thing is not that you don't feel safe in Qiyue. Let's show off our affection in front of everyone. , let you feel the feeling of being pampered."

Tianhai Qimingyue was so angry that she almost broke the unfinished marshmallow stick in her hand.

But she didn't dare to let outsiders see her being hugged by the princess, so she turned her face towards his arms and closed her eyes tightly, feeling the feeling of him holding her back and holding her legs.

Sakakibara looked at the beautiful girl in his arms and asked with a smile:

"Where do you want to go now, Princess?"

"."

"Don't say anything, right? If you don't say anything, I will carry you across the street, so everyone can see how cute the princess is."

"childish."

"What? Want two hugs? Okay!"

Nanami Nanami refused to say anything, so Sakakihara Raku actually carried her around the street twice until he saw her face was so red that it almost steamed up, and then he let her go.

As soon as she got up, she turned around and left, her back soon disappearing into the bustling crowd. It seemed that she was too embarrassed to see anyone.

Sakakibara smiled and hurriedly followed, shouting something like, "Don't you want me to buy you a gift?"

well.

It’s time to talk, but my wife is hard to coax when she’s angry. Even after walking through the whole temple fair with her, I still wasn’t satisfied. I fished for goldfish with her, played pinball games with her, and then bought her food and drinks. Things like bringing her unfinished milk tea.

It wasn't until one hour before the fireworks officially started that Raku Sakakibara remembered what was going on today, which was the request Qi Qi had made to himself in the afternoon.

Really. Such a shameful request. I really don’t know what she was thinking.

".That July."

"how?"

"There is a small forest behind the shrine. Do you want to go?"

"Go? What to do?" Tianhai Qi Mingyue was eating the skewers he bought, feeling happy and quite arrogant, "But it's not impossible if you want to go inside the shrine, let's go."
