Chapter 177 – I want to be by his side all the time.

“Of course it doesn’t mean that you don’t work hard, for what you can do, do your best, for what you may not be able to accomplish, keep a calm mindset, just like you, Long Cherry, you have a martial …… path? aspect of talent, then just do what you can.”

Aoi Natsuki leaned back and supported her hands on the stone steps, speaking in a casual tone.

“Within your power, huh ……,” Dragon Sakura pursed her lips and smiled faintly, “That’s very much like something Grandpa would say.”

“Wow, then your grandfather really thought it through quite thoroughly, when I originally met him, I thought he would be a very curmudgeonly man.”

Long Cherry gradually more smiling face, “Grandpa always like to wear his old suit, for the new era of some electronic products also completely do not touch, but he is very spoiled to me, forced by me to pull to learn a lot of things, he loved to hike to a very far away place to eat a bento, since I taught him to order online, he can be sent out to the home to eat, and he also said that it is very convenient. “

Ryuzakura straightened the hem of her kimono, her right foot on her clogs inadvertently coming off, and instead of putting them back on, she stepped right onto the clog straps.

Aoi Natsuki listened to Long Cherry’s memories of his grandfather, but also deeply touched, after all, is his closest person, sideways glance, her delicate face more relief, and did not he thought before will cry a lot, Long Cherry is far to be a little stronger.

There’s a long road ahead ……

The ear is the bamboo wash continuous water storage sound, summer tree branches come from a steady stream of cicadas, at this time has been close to four o’clock, the hot sun is no longer so hot ** baking the earth, but occasionally a cool wind blowing through, ruffled up in front of the girl’s temples of the hair, Aoi Natsuki instinctive more than a glance, and then calmly still relax down the body.

If they were to chat, the two of them could have a lot of topics to talk about, revolving around the follow-up of the martial arts school, it was estimated that they could talk for hours, but Aoi Natsuki did not intend to open his mouth, as for the question of who would inherit the martial arts school afterward, and the various plans for the future, all of this was believed to be planned by Ryuusakura himself, and there was no need for him to ask this question.

While the group in the front yard was concerned about the future of the martial arts school, Natsuki Aoi was more concerned about how Ryuusakura was feeling at the moment.

You don’t have to intentionally talk about something just to create a conversation, just making casual small talk with her is the best thing you can do to soothe her heart.

Aoi Natsuki’s left finger lightly tapped the stone steps, suddenly felt something crawling through his fingers, he didn’t even look, subconsciously flinging his left hand in panic, it was then that he cast his eyes again, only to abruptly see a small centipede being flung out by himself.

“Hiss…”

Even though Aoi Natsuki was a boy, he was still taken aback by this kind of thing and tilted his body back sideways.

In the next second, both of Ryuusakura’s hands rested on his shoulders, steadying himself.

A soft touch appeared on his back and he realized it, immediately straightening up again.

“Sorry.”

“It’s fine.” Long Sakura turned her gaze to the stone steps to the side, where a centipede of about five centimeters in length was slowly wriggling its body and crawling away into the distance.

“Natsuki are you still afraid of centipedes?” She smiled with her teeth showing.

“Normal people would be taken aback when they come across something like this, okay?” Aoi Natsuki narrowed her eyes and retorted.

Shouldn’t this unfold normally as a girl getting scared and jumping into a guy’s arms? How come it was the other way around? This made him lose face.

“Since you’re afraid, don’t sit on the ground and stand up.” Long Sakura slowly stood up.

“I’ve told you that’s not the case ……,” Aoi Natsuki said helplessly, standing up after her.

But after standing up, the two people who were on the same stone steps, that obvious height difference, all of a sudden also made Aoi Natsuki a bit uncomfortable.

When sitting, because of Long Sakura’s long legs, there was no height difference between the two of them, but once they stood up, all of a sudden it felt like Long Sakura was half a head taller than himself.

What an enviable height ……

Aoi Natsuki silently spat in her mind.

Long Cherry’s attention has been falling on him, hands folded in front of one another in front of the belly, today she is extraordinarily dignified, age brings her not only mature trample, more there is calm and intellectual, think about it, this year’s Long Cherry officially entered the twentieth, older than their own three years, from the second year of high school drop out of school, followed by grandpa with the opening of martial arts, now counting can be almost three years, it must be very difficult it.

“Natsuki, can you grant me a small, unreasonable request today?” Ryuusakura asked with a faint smile.

This sounded to Aoi Natsuki, depending on whether he was focusing on this little, or the word unreasonable, but looking at Ryuusakura, I don’t think he would say the kind of words that would make him her boyfriend, right? He blinked, and eventually nodded lightly.

Long Sakura’s eyes became soft, followed by her eyes moving down, paying attention to the stone steps, surprisingly, she was going down, was she leaving?

Aoi Natsuki’s heart just rose a trace of doubt, only to see Long Cherry stopped at the following one stone step, small steps walked to his front, the height of one stone step is about twelve centimeters, now Long Cherry stood in front of his own, has been shorter than his own half head.

Ryuusakura in such a viewpoint, Aoi Natsuki looked a little uncomfortable, but …… it was really cute.

In the next second, Ryuusakura’s head was gently pressed against Aoi Natsuki’s arms.

Slightly hanging down, the coiled hair was just at the same parallel line with Aoi Natsuki’s face, this was the first time he had been in such close contact with Ryuusakura, Ryuusakura’s hair did not have the slightest scent of shampoo, but it did have a faintly warm scent after being exposed to the sun.

Unlike the usual active Ryuusakura, she was now merely pressing her side face against her arms, with no body parts touching at all, and with both hands blocking the position of her chest so that there wouldn’t be some excessive touching, on this day she became extraordinarily demure.

Or maybe she’s grown up quite a bit again.

At least Aoi Natsuki felt that the current Ryuusakura was much more mature than her previous life.

He didn’t open his mouth to say anything, he just straightened up and stood quietly, probably looking very calm throughout, but inside he was actually very nervous.

He didn’t know how much time had passed before he felt a searing warmth coming from his chest where it touched Ryuusakura’s cheek, and after another moment, Ryuusakura’s body tilted back and regained its straightness, both of his hands still resting in a disciplined manner on his heart.

Looking at Long Sakura’s face, the state of fatigue was obviously better, just now, was she resting in her arms for a while?

“Thanks.” Dragon Sakura said softly.

“No ……”

Long Sakura took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the center of the courtyard, her pace a little lighter, until the two of them were ten meters away from each other, when she suddenly stood still, turned her head, and said confidently, “I intend to inherit my grandfather’s martial arts school, so I’ll probably be even busier when the time comes, but I’ll still take the time to visit you guys more often.”

“Well, it’s good that you have such determination.” Aoi Natsuki said with a happy face.

The usual Ryuusakura is back.

“I really didn’t misjudge anyone either, Natsuki you really are different from everyone else, all different.”

“Yes? I feel kinda ordinary ……”

“Being a different existence in my eyes is enough.” Dragon Sakura uttered a sentence with ambiguity, a faint smile hanging at the corner of her mouth.

Perhaps it was due to situational substitution, Aoi Natsuki really did blush a little, and then hastily adjusted her breathing and covered the changing face with a cough.

“Tonight, want to stay for a casual dinner?”

“No, I have a date with Lena tonight to go out for a delicious Burger King, next time I get a chance.”

“Well, then let’s not stay here, let’s go to the front yard.”

Aoi Natsuki nodded and followed Long Cherry from the backyard to the front yard, his eyes looked over, at this time, the people in the front yard had already gone most of the way, he scanned the circle, the first thing he saw was Lina who was playing with those two strong men who were receiving at the door in the front yard, a one meter one little one running around two two meter tall strong men, this picture sense had a kind of contrasting affinity instead.

“Lina, we’re going home!”

Natsuki Arai shouted towards the front yard.

Lina heard it and immediately stopped running, turned her head to look at it, and was instantly surprised, then rushed over at an even faster speed and directly jumped at Natsuki, he crouched down and let Lina jump into his arms, his right hand fished out the paper towel in his pocket, pushed Lina away, and wiped away the sweat on the top of her head as well as on her neck.

At that moment, Ryuusakura’s mother also came over, and Aoi Natsuki got up in a hurry, and after a few more words of courtesy from both sides, he offered to leave first.

“Little sister, don’t forget anything.” One of the stout, burly men handed up her writing pad, which had become especially small in his hands.

Lina glanced at the writing pad first, then raised her head to the burly man, bowed deeply toward him, and took the writing pad in both hands.

Polite and adorable, it straight up melted the hearts of the two burly men.

Aoi Natsuki took Rina and walked to the door, waving goodbye to Ryuzakura, while Rina also enthusiastically raised her right hand high and waved at her two “playmates”.

All the while waiting for the two to leave, the two burly men were still deep in their love for Lina and couldn’t help themselves.

Noticing that her daughter was still longingly looking her eyes towards the unoccupied doorway, the beautiful woman lightly raised her willow leaf eyebrows and said slowly, “That youth’s heart is good, it’s just a pity that he’s too old and has already missed out on the best time to practice martial arts.”

“It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter if he practices martial arts or not, I’m happy with him as he is now.” Long Cherry said softly.

The beautiful woman looked at her daughter, and then reached out to her hands that were pressed tightly against her chest, and as soon as her hands were spread out, she could see that they were filled with sweat.

“Really …… like it that much?”

“Well, very, very much, I …… want to stay by his side all the time.” Dragon Sakura blushed slightly.

The beautiful woman looked at the beads of sweat on her daughter’s palms, and was silent for a while, then turned to leave, and after walking out two steps, her tone suddenly became playful and said, “A virtue with your father ……”

Long Sakura’s face showed surprise upon hearing this, and she hurriedly followed her mother’s lead, holding her wrist intimately before stepping into the hall together.

……

“Hmph, hmph~”

Today the sun is shining, Lina is holding Jijiang out for a walk, the second half of the year she will be promoted to the third grade, I heard that the third grade will be learning English, an additional subject is undoubtedly a kind of distress for her, recently Natsuki often see their homework to go home, some test questions wrong more than a few incredulous, not angry at her, but now she always feel Natsuki has the urge to want to enroll in remedial classes for her. The first thing that she did was to ask her to take a class in the school.

Aoi Natsuki’s philosophy of education was to combine work and rest, but right now Rina was resting entirely too much and needed to apply a little pressure, and occasionally she couldn’t be too nice to her or she’d be the one who’d grow up to suffer.

Lina holding a cram school flyer stolen from the coffee table in the living room, her face was full of despondency, she let out a long sigh, and was about to tear it up, when her mind thought of Natsuki’s angry face, and instantly her small body trembled, “Oh ……”

No idea what to do at all.

“Woof woof.”

Jijang suddenly barked twice, which caught Lina’s attention; it had rarely barked in the past.

Lina was led by Jijou to turn right, and as she walked out almost fifty meters, the barking of a dog was also heard not far ahead.

Two more steps and a dog that looked a lot like Jijang appeared, and behind her on the leash was a young silver-haired girl about her age.

Lina blinked and didn’t move.

And the silver-haired girl turned into this path, and the two dogs met and immediately kissed** and shouted.

Lena and Nia met for the first time.

Nia stares dully at the two dogs making out, this one across the room looks like Jijang ……

Lina stood still, looking at the girl in front of her with a look of amazement, a head of silver hair, so beautiful ……

Lina now social skills have changed from social fear to social cattle, with big innocent eyes, pulling the dog leash quickly and quickly step forward, close to this cool doll-like little girl, take a closer look, even the eyelashes are white eh!

“Hello.” Lena writes rapidly on her writing pad, then displays it.

Nia looked to the writing pad and froze dumbfounded for a long time, then hmmm’d softly and said in a weak and breathy voice, “Hello ……”

The voice is also cute!

Lina was excited and her head was spinning with thoughts of what she should say more when the other girl took the lead, pointing to her dog and whispering, “Yoshi sauce ……”

Rina was so surprised to hear her say Jijou’s name that she hurriedly continued writing on her writing pad.

“Yes! It’s Jijang!”

“Wow!” Nia’s mouth opened slightly.

Jijang, who had been playing around with Pras for a while, came up to Nia’s feet affectionately at this point, and she reached out with her small hand and stroked its fur, her eyes full of joy.

“Do you know my Kat Jam?”

Lena asked, writing again.

Nia nodded, pointing at Jijou, and said, “Natsuki …… brother ……”

……

Home.

Natsuki Arai walked into the living room with two ice creams and gave one to each of the two children.

“Here, eat.” He smiled and handed the spoon to Nia, who was again her trademark mute, as if she was ready to blurt out the level of adorableness that was maki yabakunai.

She took it with both hands and thanked him politely.

“Well ……” Rina on the side was a bit jealous, Aoi Natsuki quickly calmed her down and handed her the spoon as well, while also rubbing her little head.

“Why don’t you guys watch some TV together.” Aoi’s subordinate turned on the TV, tuned it to the animation channel, and the next thing she knew was Leigh’s familiar “home turf”. Remembering that there were still two dogs outside, she walked to the corner of the cabinet, grabbed a bag of dog food, and headed out to the balcony.

After all was straightened out, I re-entered the living room and wanted to sit on the couch, but I didn’t feel close enough to the kids, so I chose to sit on the carpet, just like them, and watch cartoons together in a leisurely manner.
