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

tired.

Although I feel very good.

But it is still a state of physical and mental exhaustion.

Through the conversation with his uncle in the office just now, Sakakihara Raku probably understood a little bit about his somewhat unclear attitude.

This is something to be happy about, but the two phone calls just now made Sakakibara less optimistic.

The first call was from Tianhai Jiuliuli.

Her purpose is simple, to ask herself out.

Sakakibara Raku had no reason to refuse, but Amami Nanamigetsu called him again five minutes later, also asking him to go out.

The two of them were deliberately antagonizing each other.

One of the meeting places was located in the east of the city, and the other in the west of the city, two completely opposite directions!

Being mentally and physically exhausted, Sakakibara Raku had no time to get involved in the intrigue between them, so he just rejected them all.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, when he returned home, Sakakibara threw away his schoolbag and lay down directly on the sofa.

He quickly tapped the phone screen with his fingers and replied to Qi Mingyue and Jiu Liuli at the same time on LINE, giving the reply that he really couldn't go.

After thoroughly dealing with the two of them, Sakakihara sighed and put the phone away.

Just as he was about to stand up to get a glass of water, he saw Tianhai Zhixue coming out of the room.

She seemed to want to talk to herself.

"What's wrong?" Sakakihara turned around and asked.

"Le came back so early today." Tianhai Zhixue held her hands on the wall, her voice empty and light. With only half of his head exposed against the wall, he seemed to be peeping, "Yesterday I played the song sixty times before Le would go home. Today I only played it twenty-two times."

"Sixty times? You play guitar all the time at home?"

"Um."

"Same as the day before yesterday?"

"It was sixty-five times the day before yesterday."

"The day before yesterday?"

"Sixty-eight times."

"Which song?"

"The band's first song."

"."

That song can be over five minutes long.

So Zhixue has been playing this song repeatedly at home?

Sakakihara glanced at the time on his watch.

Five twelve.

It was three hours earlier than usual.

After Qijiu left, A Ling had to go to work, and she had to study every day.

Everyone seemed to have left her alone at home.

She didn't have many friends, and she didn't know what to do at ordinary times. She just huddled in her room and played the guitar by herself.

Through the previous events, Sakakihara Raku understood the fact that Yuki did like him.

"You keep repeating a song and counting, are you waiting for me to come home?"

Tianhai Zhixue shook her head, "I didn't repeat a song all the time."

"So are you still practicing?"

"Yeah. Once you practice well, you can take videos for me when you get back."

"."

Zhixue has always been interested in her videos, but in fact, neither Qi Mingyue Jiu Liuli nor A Ling paid much attention to her videos.

Or maybe they were too busy and didn't have anything Kong Guan Zhixue liked.

Thinking about it this way, Kozuki has always been like this.

Because the mother is an advanced maternal age, she cannot learn much on her own and wants to practice it. She also needs to ask others for help because she often forgets things.

I'm often in a daze, often don't know how to express my feelings carefully, and often sit alone in my room playing the guitar.

She has lived like this for sixteen years.

Sakakibara couldn't help but wonder, did she feel that her life was different during the time she came here?

Did you get a good feel for the splendor of life while you were in school, forming a band, and traveling on motorcycles?

The old man sent her here with the intention of asking him to take care of her, but now everyone has left her at home.

Zhixue, who was unable to be independent, could only play the music over and over again, waiting for people to go home.

Sakakibara couldn't bear to look at her.

No wonder I suddenly ran out to buy something before and wanted to make myself fried ice cream.

"Zhiyuki, come here." Sakakibara motioned for her to sit down next to him.

"Do you want to apply ointment?"

"We'll talk about this later. I have something I want to ask you."

After listening to his words, Amami no Yuki left the wall she was supporting with her hands, walked barefoot to sit next to Sakakibara Raku.

When she came over, Sakakihara Raku realized that she was still holding the "Life Manual" he gave her in her hand.

"Why do you keep holding this?"

"I always forget to carry it with me."

——This is what I said to her.

"I mainly want to ask you, are you bored staying at home?"

"fine."

"fine?"

"There will be something to eat when Le comes back."

"."

Sakakihara tried to find something in her eyes, but unfortunately, it seemed to be just an ordinary fact to her.

"I see why you avoided me in school today?"

"Because I did something wrong, Ling said Le would have scars on his face."

"."

Sakakihara Raku suddenly felt an uncomfortable emotion from Amami no Yuki.

It was a blocked, indescribable emotion.

This emotion made Zhixue, who couldn't express emotions, seem to have a weaker voice in front of her, like a child who knew he had done something wrong.

Now I really want to hug her and comfort her not to take the ice cream thing to heart.

He could do this to A Ling, Qi Mingyue, and Jiu Liuli, but he could only do it to Zhi Xue.

Speaking of hugging Sakakihara Raku suddenly wanted to understand why Yuki likes to get into his bed.

She is not like A Ling, nor is she like Qi Jiu. She has been alone since she was a child, and because her mother died young and the age gap between her father, brother, and sister is too large, there has never been a place where she can act like a normal girl.

Ah Ling could still crawl into her arms to seek comfort when she was sad.

Snow in the sky and sea

Just like her name, it is as pure as the white snow covering the entire sky and sea.

She is so pure and white, maybe she is so lonely that she doesn't even know how to express her sad emotions to outsiders, right?

"Is Yuki hungry?"

"Yeah." Tianhai Zhixue nodded immediately.

"We don't have much food at home. How about I take you out for a meal?"

"Okay." Tianhai Zhixue nodded again, "Do you want to change clothes when you go out?"

"Yes, go ahead and change. I'll wait for you."

When Tianhai Zhixue heard that he was going to take her out to eat, she returned to the room with her bare feet pattering. She didn't even close her bedroom door and started changing clothes.

A few minutes later, Amami Yuki, who came from Sakakibara Raku's gang, took her by the collar and led her to the entrance.

He took out her shoes from the shoe cabinet and took her out immediately.

Walking out of the apartment and onto the city streets of the port area, it was now five o'clock in the evening. The thin sunlight slanted down, filling the commercial street full of pedestrians directly opposite.

"What to eat?"

"Fried ice cream."

"Why is this again? You can't always eat this stuff, and it's not sold outside."

"Happy decision."

"I've decided? There aren't any delicious snacks. I guess Suzu has taken you to eat them." Raku Sakakihara suddenly thought, "Have you ever been to McDonald's?"

Tianhai Zhixue blinked.

"At first glance, I've never been there. Since you haven't eaten before, I'll take you to eat this today."

There was a large commercial center directly opposite the McDonald's apartment. Sakakihara took her directly to the third floor, opened the glass door and walked in.

With beige paint, visually speaking, McDonald's decoration has a warm feeling.

Coffee machines, drink machines, store clerks wearing masks, mothers waiting in line with their children, and the smell of burgers and fried chicken that lingers in the store all the time.

It was the first time for Tianhai Zhixue to come to this kind of place, so she was a little curious about the surrounding environment.

"Two Big Macs, two large Cokes, eight pieces of Spicy Chicken Wings, a fried chicken bucket, and a Strawberry Ice Cream Tornado. Ah, last but not least, let's have the popular hamburger bucket set."

The clerk wearing a McDonald's exclusive apron quickly clicked on the machine and repeated what Raku Sakakihara just said: "There is also a popular hamburger bucket set, right? Do you need takeout?"

"Yes, that's all. No takeout, dine-in."

"Okay customer, this is your order code, please sit in the store for a while."

"Trouble."

Sakakibara took the meal code and took Amami Yuki to the window seat of the restaurant to sit down.

The environment here is transparent and the view is good. If you look slightly outside, you can see the city street below the third floor.

Because there are many bright promotional pictures of food in the store, Tianhai Zhixue has always focused on those promotional pictures.

"Has your sister ever taken you to a place like this?"

Tianhai Zhixue kept staring at the "Spicy Chicken Leg Burger" and shook her head.

"Where's uncle?"

Tianhai Zhixue still shook her head, "My brother just brings me gifts when he goes home."

As for the old man, there is definitely no need to ask.

The old man is even more busy. The whole family is workaholics.

We can’t blame him. After all, he controls a large group with an annual revenue of US$700 billion. Who knows how many people are working under their company.

"Does Le come here often?"

"Me? No. I used to come here often with A Ling, and she always clamored to eat this. Later, the family was no longer short of money, and my mother gave us brothers and sisters a lot of pocket money, but we came here to spend money in revenge. After a period of time."

McDonald's is meant to be fast food, and a lot of the things Sakakihara Raku ordered were brought to him in no time.

Two Big Macs, two large Cokes, eight pieces of spicy chicken wings, and a bucket of fried chicken. It can be said that these things completely filled the table, and it was enough for four people.

"happy."

"What's wrong?"

"Can I eat it?"

"It's ready to eat."

Tianhai Zhixue picked up the Big Mac burger, opened her small mouth and took a bite.

Seeing the gap she made in the burger with her own eyes, Sakakihara Raku seemed to be able to feel the taste of the bread + vegetables + pickles + cheese + steak in her mouth.

There was a pile of golden fried chicken in front of me, and the aroma was still wafting upwards.

Seeing this scene, Sakakihara Raku couldn't help but feel nostalgic.

In order to prevent her from getting bored while eating, Sakakihara Raku also combined it with the situation when Suzu wanted to eat when she was a child, but she didn't buy it for her, and she got angry.

It was an old story about how she had a bad temper, how she wanted to eat hamburgers so much that she lay by the window looking at people, and a kind-hearted uncle bought one for her, how happy she was.

Speaking later, even Raku Sakakihara complained that he always used Suzu to tell stories to others.

Fortunately, Tianhai Zhixue listened happily and ate happily. After every meal, there were countless things to eat in front of her.

However, while eating, Raku Sakakibara suddenly noticed that Amami Nozuki was staring at something, and even stopped eating.

"looking at what?"

Sakakihara looked back and followed her gaze. It was a billboard. It broadcasts McDonald's spring advertisement, as well as McDonald's new spring meal packages.

There was nothing in the advertisement, but when Sakakibara continued to read it, he knew what attracted Zhixue.

There is a scene in the advertisement of a family eating McDonald's happily.

In the restaurant, the mother smiled and took the pickled cucumbers from the child's hamburger that she didn't want to eat; in the mountains, the family was tired from climbing, so they sat together and took out the hamburgers they had prepared in advance; under the cherry blossom tree, the family gathered together Tuan, took out the hamburger from the lunch box and handed it to the child.

The theme of the advertisement is "Happiness is always around you."

And the whole process focuses on family interactions; laughter, slapstick, and parents smiling at each other after seeing their children tired from playing.

Seeing these situations, Sakakibara instantly recalled Yuki's life experience.

He turned back to observe Tianhai Zhixue's current expression.

She was still staring at the screen intently, her expression not so much in a daze as in a state of sluggishness after longing.

"."

Qijiu, Ling, Zhixue.

Everyone is actually just hoping to have a home.

"Snow, snow."

"Huh?" Tianhai Zhixue turned around.

"Are you happy eating?"

"Happy." She whispered, took another bite of the burger in her hand, and chewed it carefully in her little mouth.

"Then what would you do if I said that I can't always take you to eat like this?"

"."

This question made Tianhai Zhixue even more confused, and she stopped moving again. He stared at the Big Mac in his hand, holding the burger in mid-air.

Sakakibara looked at her downward gaze and understood that she was thinking. He also understood that she didn't know how to express the emotions in her heart at this time.

She couldn't say it, let alone say it out loud.

After Tianhai Zhixue thought for a long time, the advertisement had been rotated five times, but she just shook her head gently.

Perhaps her mood at this time is the same as how she usually views the world.

It's at a loss, it's at a loss.

Obviously there are things that I want to keep, and there are things that I don’t want to throw away, but I don’t know what can be used to keep them.

After thinking over and over again, after looking inside again and again.

I can only give one reply - [Shakes head].

Seeing this, Sakakibara thought Soichiro Amkai was cruel.

He left his daughter, who had never seen her mother since she was a child, to her grandchildren. He was unable to give her any affection since she was a child, and his care for her was only superficial.

But maybe Soichiro Amkai also understands his cruelty and his fault.

That's why during this period of time, his personality became much gentler than before, and all of Zhixue's requests were complied with.

No wonder, no wonder my uncle said that the old man doted on Zhixue. He probably knew how cruel he was, right?

well.

Sakakihara sighed in his heart at first, but now he already knew what he should do:

"Don't worry, Zhixue, I was just joking. It was just a hypothesis, not a confirmed fact."

"Hypothesis." Tianhai Zhixue raised her head, her eyes reflecting the image of him sitting directly opposite.

"Well, that's just a hypothesis. In the days to come, you and we still have a long way to go. I will also do my best to take care of you. If you want to eat, I will take you out to eat. If you want to play rock and roll, I will take you out to eat. As long as I am free, I will definitely agree to it, and everyone can come together; if you need help, you can call me for help. I do the same to Qi Mingyue, Jiu Liuli, A Ling, and everyone in the family.

"Zhixue, don't think that everyone hates you, it's just that everyone is busy. This is an undisputed fact.

"During this period of time together, everyone is very happy to be with you. Ah Ling likes you very much. I have also learned to take care of others, and getting your response is actually a kind of happiness to see my family happy.

"Zhixue, although I can't completely replace your parents, I hope that I can make you feel warm in this home and not feel so sad anymore."

"happy"

"You were moved? Oh, actually, don't think so. I don't even know how many people I have said this to."

"I don't quite understand."

"."

"Anyway, you just need to know that I don't hate your approach."

"The burger is delicious." Tianhai Zhixue didn't respond, just said to the burger in his hand.

Sakakibara laughed, "Where's the fried chicken?"

"It's delicious too."
