Yuechijia, Tokyo, Japan, July 29, 2000.

Buntaro has been feeling down recently.

Kaoru completed her three-year education in China and returned to Japan this month.

For Buntaro, Kaoru is back. This was originally a good thing. Of course, he has always been reluctant to think about the good reasons. The reasons in the middle are complex. There are feelings of childhood, competition, and competition. Maybe there are. Regarding pity, love, etc., no matter who knows him, anyway, everyone knows that Kaoru's marriage contract with Tianyu regular is just a form, Kaoru's relationship has always been cold, Tianyu regular also has a formal girlfriend, the relationship is still very good, his These thoughts don't matter.

Of course, although everyone grew up, at this time in the mind of Mantaro, the most important thing is not related to love and compassion. Xun Xun and Tian Yu were symbolically engaged three years ago, and then went to Jianghai. The reason was to learn Chinese martial arts with an unknown master, but in fact no one took the reason seriously, but only in China for one year, In the following competition in front of the main seat of the family, the original strength ranking was not among the peers, and Kaoru was an enemy. He was almost defeated by the most powerful Ike Sakura Chiaki, and it was almost shocked the entire month. The great thing about the Chi family.

He has always been the leader of his peers from childhood to age, and he will not easily lose. The defeat of that time, of course, Kaoru's power is indeed above him, but as far as the gap is concerned, at least he thinks that he was too Too low the enemy, otherwise they would not defeat so simply. Out of the humiliation of that defeat, in the past two years, he has been working hard, leaving other people's progress far away, and has the idea of ​​comparing with Kaoru again in his mind, but for so long, he has no chance. turn up.

For two consecutive years, everyone wants to see Kaoru's shot again. In order to verify whether her strength has really become so strong, Wentaro has this idea, and her peers have the same age, and maybe the elders and homeowners also have it. However, it seems that he is deliberately avoiding this kind of thing. During the three winter and summer vacations, Kaoru either found an excuse to stay in China and did not return, or used the relationship of Tianyu. Even if he returned, he would never participate in these things at home, even It's simply impossible to find anyone. Although this is already modern society. The engaged girl will not be completely regarded as another family, but the regular marriage contract between Kaoru and Tianyu itself is the chip of Yue Zhijia's close to Gao Tianyuan. On the day of the rain, he used the fiance's identity to suppress something, and here too Don't overdo it.

As a result, two years have passed, and the road to the university has not yet been decided. Since graduating from high school, this time returning from Jianghai, in a sense. It should be regarded as a real escape from China. arrive home. This feeling is naturally different from the feeling of returning from her winter vacation and summer vacation, but the problem is that Kaoru feels different.

Growing up from a young age, Buntaro understands this young girl who looks like her own sister, but since her mother died, Kaoru's heart has been cold and autistic, cold to others, to herself, to everything Faintly, occasionally looking at the perfect face like a porcelain doll, his heart will inevitably develop pity. But everyone was young at that time, and he couldn't imagine it, so he could only practice hard. Until one day, you can be able to help her and change something.

As the homeowner's daughter, Kaoru received no preferential treatment from an early age, and her qualifications were not good. When her mother died, her heart was closed. Every day is practice. This method of practicing harder than anyone else did not bring obvious results. Many times he even made himself scaly and bruised by a ninjutsu master. As the strongest of his peers, Buntaro also sometimes wants to help Kaoru. However, Kaoru's practice method is not wrong, and the degree of hard work is no less than anyone. As Buntaro, who also believes in a hard work and a harvest, where can I put forward better suggestions, I can only think that Kaoru is not talented. However, in any case, he is a model among this group of trainers. He occasionally wins competitions, and realizes that the cold but slightly hopeful look of Kaoru to him can bring him great satisfaction. She admired him, and perhaps admired him. It was best.

Whether this idea is objective cannot be confirmed, but from the moment Kaoru defeated him two years ago, this dream collapsed. He could not tolerate such feelings, so he worked hard to get his reputation back. However, after Xun's return this time, he discovered that even the icy feeling of autism had changed somewhat.

She is still indifferent and indifferent to everyone. She exercises every morning and eats with everyone. However, she is not the one who has worked hard every day to get injured and cares nothing about herself. Teenage girl. After returning home, in her free time, she made some small changes to the small yard where she lived, which may be the most surprising thing for everyone.

As the homeowner's daughter, Xun's only difference from everyone is that she owned a separate small courtyard. She used to live with her mother. After her mother died, there was only a girl left. Yuechi Zhengkong doesn't come here. Every day a servant comes over to do a simple cleaning. The yard is not large. When both mother and daughter were in the past, they were quite elegantly packed. After the death of the woman as a mother, she gradually did not make too much decoration, and Kaoru lived alone. There were only two houses in use. Room, living room and her bedroom, the decoration is simple, chat is better than nothing, the two trees in the yard have not been looked after for a long time, the fish in the small pond has died, but it has not turned into a smelly puddle. There was some rubbish, which was something that Kaoru used to train before. After she went to China, she never dealt with it. Almost all the other rooms were locked and sealed up.

However, when she returned this time, she cleaned up the trash in the yard silently on the second day. She could not find the key that she had randomly placed before. On the third day, she smashed the original lock in the yard. The door of the house, and then when people passed the small courtyard, they could see the girl banging inside and reinstalling the lock.

As Tianyu's regular fiancee, the current Kaoru is naturally a privileged person, but when someone came to ask her what to do, if she needed help from the workers, she just shook her head indifferently. Obviously she was doing it now. She didn't want others to step in. In the following days, the girl moved all kinds of furniture from the room to the yard alone, and even the original mother's bedroom was empty. Buntaro passed by once and saw a girl in a white shirt and a blue dress dragging a large cabinet out of the room. The empty cabinet looked big but not heavy. The girl moved it to the yard and put it away. When looking back at the room, Buntaro suddenly felt that this beautiful face with no expression seemed to be mixed with some indescribable longing. This longing seemed to be the same as when she looked at him as a child, but At that time, the gaze was always cold, but at this time, the cold feeling was completely without any negative emotions. He was suddenly a little lost.

Maybe she has grown up and is starting to face her life squarely. He told himself so.

After things were evacuated, they were cleaned and patched for several days. The girl wore a turban, put on a mask, cleaned the dust and spider webs around the room, and replaced the worn and wet tatami piece by piece with new ones. Do n’t rush to work, after a while every day, sitting under the courtyard and drinking a cup of tea, it does n’t feel like the tiring work that girls do n’t do, but just a leisure and pastime , Relaxed and comfortable, contented.

Almost renovated the interior, exterior, and exterior of the house before moving the furniture piece by piece ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ These things are old and new, and the old nature has been carefully cleaned and repaired for half a month After that, the entire yard seemed to have been renewed, just like when the mother and daughter lived together, the weeds in the corner of the yard were also pulled out, the garbage in the small pond was picked up, and the water was changed, and it became clear. Once After going out, two more lotuses moved from the outside had a tasteful atmosphere.

During this period, many people were paying attention to the side of the small courtyard, secretly guessing whether Xun had been in China for three years, or if he had been a handyman for three years. Yuechi Zhengkong also visited it, and it is estimated that her daughter began to pay attention to the quality of life. I didn't say anything. Anyway, all of them will be from Tianyu's family. As long as Tianyu has no opinion, everything is good. Kaoru also went out a few times and bought back some things to put in the room, small appliances, and even a TV, but also some comic books, which were also trained every day, but not long, playing a few sets in the yard. Strange Chinese boxing, running and the like, more often, sitting in the yard thinking about things, quietly, I do not know what to expect.

To this day, Buntaro finally knows that she has carefully cleaned and cleaned up for more than half a month. What kind of hope and expectation is it?

A Chinese teenager of the same age as Kaoru arrived at Yuechi's house with his simple luggage, and lived in Kaoru's carefully arranged room. It was the largest bedroom in the small courtyard. Many years ago, there was Xun's mother who had died ...
