About the fact that I unintentionally raised my sister to be a cripple - Chapter 129 Fireworks Festival to prepare for dating (2)

After getting off the train, follow the crowds and join the road to the Sumida River.

The twilight of dusk passed away, replaced by the endless blue sky.

In such an atmosphere, the air does not seem dull. The street lights on the city streets turn on early, and all kinds of bright and gorgeous neon lights illuminate the people walking on the streets in warm colors.

At this moment, people are gradually gathering to participate in the fireworks display. It is the most popular time, and the police are on the road to maintain order. Sakakihara Raku and his mother were walking here, and there were already people coming and going.

At the corner near the festival and temple fair, at the intersection of traffic lights, a girl stood tall and graceful. She was wearing a white dress, and her flaxen hair was tied up in a hairpin. She turned her head slightly, her silver hair accessories It also emits beautiful light.

“That’s Kuruuri, right? At first glance, I thought it was Nanamigyue’s child, but when I saw the white bathrobe, I knew it was her.” Mrs. Sakakibara said to Sakakibara with a smile, and then asked softly, “Today When choosing clothes, she specifically told me to choose white, Ale, do you understand what she meant?”

“Is there a sign? I feel like I have gotten a lot closer to her in the past ten days. But I still feel like something is missing.”

“Absolutely. Well, little girls have a lot on their minds. Today I saw Jiu Liuli and Qi Mingyue put on some light makeup when they went out. I think Jiu Liuli put on makeup for you, A Le.”

“Mom, don’t talk nonsense.”

Sakakibara Raku and his mother gradually approached Amami Kururi who was waiting there.

The closer he got, the more Sakakihara Raku could notice how exquisitely Kuruuri was dressed today.

Her sky-blue eyes were filled with the light of lights.

Looking from Sakakihara Raku’s perspective towards the street corner, the city’s flashing lights seemed to outline her cheeks. The lines on her profile were made more hazy by the lights, illuminating her surroundings vaguely. For a moment, she Like the coquettish and beautiful fireflies dancing in the sunset.

Looking at her like this, seeing how beautiful she was with her meticulous make-up, many thoughts came to mind in an instant.

For example, did she dress up like this on purpose for someone? Did she put on a white yukata because she told her that she liked white? Did she put up her beautiful hair for herself and decorate herself with beautiful hairpins? .

Looking ahead from the street, many, many thoughts came to my mind.

Obviously some things can be inferred and determined based on common sense, and Jiu Liuli himself has made it clear, but Sakakihara Raku is just not sure in his heart, and he doesn’t dare to believe it.

Because the hazy layer of gauze between the two of them seems to have not been broken yet.

“Did Jiuruli dress up like this just for you today?” Mrs. Sakakihara glanced at the girl in front of her who didn’t notice the two of them, and asked with a smile.

“I do not know.”

It’s not so much that I don’t know, it’s more that I don’t dare to confirm.

He was obviously looking forward to it, but when he saw her beauty from a distance, his heart palpitated, and he lost a third of the courage to face her.

This is probably what I like.

Just looking at it from a distance makes my heart unable to calm down for a long time.

The crowd was noisy and the police signaled everyone to enter in an orderly manner. In this situation, the time when both feet were on the ground seemed to be lengthened.

The white yukata is embellished with elegant white lilies, with varying shades of light purple and light yellow, and the bright red sash is embellished with simple patterns, giving it a refreshing feeling in summer.

When Sakakibara arrived in front of Amami Kuruuri, he discovered that she had a bouquet of wisteria flowers pinned to the side of her hair. The colorful bouquet of wisteria flowers ran along the hair and matched perfectly with her clean and flawless face. .

Tianhai Jiuliuli, who was dressed like this, tilted her head slightly, smiled at him and asked:

“Brother is very handsome today.”

“Alright, okay.”

Tianhai Jiuliuli keenly observed that he was looking at her, so he smiled generously and said, “Brother, do you think this outfit looks good?”

With this movement, her hair and wisteria flowers moved, and the light behind her made the petals and hair shine brightly.

Moreover, the clothes are really white.

“I feel like I’m short of words, so I can only answer good-looking questions.” Sakakihara wanted to avoid her gaze and started looking for topics, “By the way, Qi Mingyue and A Ling are here. Aren’t you two together?”

“They went to book a yacht over there on the lawn.”

“Are you planning to watch the fireworks on the river?”

“Well, there are so many people on the Sumida River every year that the lawn barely takes up any space. There are only some good spots left on the river.”

As Amami Kuriuri said, he looked at the black yukata worn by Sakakihara Raku, and then smiled and said, “Brother is really handsome today.”

“It’s okay, but if you say so, I’m very happy.”

“No, I’m serious.”

Mrs. Sakakihara was naturally happy to see this harmonious scene in front of these two children.

His son, who has always been outgoing, actually became embarrassed in front of Jiu Liuli.

She couldn’t help but smile in her heart, the child had indeed grown up.

“It’s better to go meet Qi Mingyue and the others. They will be anxious if they can’t see anyone.”

Uncle Tianhai, Qi Mingyue and A Ling were waiting at the entrance of the temple fair by the Sumida River.

Because of the fireworks display, the place became lively early, with passers-by wearing yukata, street stalls selling snacks, and vendors selling various entertainment and games.

“elder brother!”

Sakakibara Suzu was the first to see Sakakibara Raku. She looked over the crowd and saw the familiar face, then stood on tiptoes and waved to him quickly.

There were not many people wearing yukata at the temple fair. As soon as the lively girl raised her hand, Sakakihara Raku realized that it was his sister.

After getting closer, she came up and circled Sakakibara Raku’s body and said:

“Well~~ My clothes are pretty good today!”

“I think you can sum it up with the word ‘handsome’.” Sakakihara smiled.

“But if I praise you for being handsome, brother, I won’t get any reward.”

“I’ll treat you to takoyaki later.”

Sakakihara Suzu immediately stood up straight, with her back straight like a soldier, and said seriously:

“Brother, he is the most handsome!”

This made Jiu Liuli laugh.

Ah Ling can be regarded as the king of support outside.

According to Sakakibara Raku’s impression, although Suzu is a bit arrogant, she will not lose her face outside. ,

Sakakibara Raku also discovered that today’s Amami Nanamigetsu also had her hair tied up, and she and Kuriuri had a symmetrical silver hairpin, and her black yukata was embellished with elegant flowers.

While maintaining her own proud temperament, her face is also very beautiful.

She found herself looking towards her and said calmly: “Brother, if you want to praise me, you don’t need to say more. I know it in my heart.”

Really narcissistic.

After a few people gathered together, they started wandering around the temple fair before today’s fireworks festival.

Eating, visiting the garden, chatting, all in this thick temple fair, I was quite happy.

At this moment, Mrs. Sakakibara suddenly said, “There seems to be some kind of food stall in front. I can’t see clearly. What is it?”

Sakakibara glanced over there, thinking that his mother was just asking an ordinary question, so he answered normally, “It seems to be Tornado Potatoes, a fried snack like potato chips.”

“snack?!”

Sakakihara Suzu’s eyes lit up when she heard this, and she raised her hands actively like a rabbit, “I want to go, I want to go!”

Hearing that there were potato chips, Tianhai Qimingyue also attracted his attention.

Mrs. Sakakibara: “Then let’s go.”

Sakakibara kept up with the others, but his mother turned around and gave him a hint.

That waving gesture was more than just a hint, it was an explicit statement!

Sakakibara suppressed the throbbing in his heart and glanced sideways at the shining silver hairpin of Tenkai Kuruuri. He encouraged himself a little in his heart and pressed tightly against her. Then the moment he stopped, he suddenly He held her hand.

Mildly soft.

Very comfortable and indescribably satisfying.

Tianhai Jiuliuli, who was walking, was obviously stunned for a moment. The moment she turned back, flowers and hair were outlining her beauty like in a scroll.

Although Sakakibara was very greedy for the comfort conveyed by her small hands, he did not dare to hold them for long. He said seriously: “Well… how about we go shopping alone?”

“Not with everyone?”

“No, Jiuliuli, you should understand what I mean, right?”

Tianhai Jiuliuli smiled lightly: “Qi Mingyue will be very angry if she finds out that my sister is suddenly gone.”

“I will explain to her that after all there are so many people at this temple fair, if she suddenly gets lost, well, it is normal, haha.”

“Brother, why are you smiling twice? You look a little nervous?”

Sakakibara couldn’t express his feelings. He just thought in his mind that Amami Kuruuri standing in front of her was so beautiful that he couldn’t bear to look at her.

“I’m a little nervous.” Under the gaze of the girl’s sweet smile, he looked away sheepishly.

Sakakibara Raku has always been a responsible person in Amami Kuruuri’s mind.

Willing to shoulder the responsibilities of the family, willing to do good to everyone, and willing to take care of others.

It was this reliable impression that made the taller brother in front of him look particularly cute when he turned his face in front of her.

Amami Kuruuri smiled from the bottom of her heart. She clasped her hands behind her back, took a small step back, and stood next to Sakakibara Raku.

The silver chain of the hairpin swayed back and forth.

The girl bent forward, lowered her head slightly and looked sideways at him. His bright sky-blue eyes reflected him and the grand scene of the temple fair behind him.

“elder brother.”

“Um.”

“You like me, right?”

This question almost brought out Sakakihara Raku’s thoughts.

what to do?

Do you want to answer?

its not right!

He had obviously already thought about confessing! I have been ready to express my feelings to her for a long time!

But why is it that at this time, I am embarrassed to express my attitude! ?

No, I have to say it!

“I”

Seeing that her brother was hesitant to speak and was about to speak, the thoughtful girl straightened her body again, closed her beautiful eyes, slightly raised her beautiful chin and said:

“Anyway, my brother suddenly grabbed me just now because he wanted to go to the temple fair with me, right?”

“yes.”

“Is this a date invitation to a girl?”

“yes.”

Tianhai Jiuliuli opened his eyes, glanced at the bustling night sky of the temple fair, turned back and said to him with a smile: “Then, do you want to try holding hands?”

“Is this okay?”

Tianhai Jiululi saw that he raised his hand slightly when he answered, so he took the initiative to hold his hand with a smile. The five fingers are not clasping the five fingers, but the palm of the hand is holding the palm of the hand.

The other person’s body temperature and the other person’s feelings are all transmitted very well from the palm of your hand.

The moment they hold each other and touch each other.

Sakakihara Raku could feel the ripples she caused in his heart. Her hands were warm and soft, and her skin was so comfortable that it could slide down as smoothly as a thumb.

This hand is completely different from my own. It is a girl’s hand, a girl’s hand.

Jiu Liuli was even trying to hit him hard, and Sakakihara Raku had to take the initiative to show off no matter what he did.

After all, Jiuliuli is the first girl who is willing to respond to the girl she likes. The key is that she is so beautiful and outstanding.

There was a temple fair with people coming and going in front of her. For a girl like her, wearing a yukata, she was sure to attract attention.

Sakakibara held her firmly.

It seemed that as long as she appeared in front of her, warmth could not stop flowing out of her heart.

“elder brother.”

“Yeah, I’m here.”

“Your grip is a little tight.”

“Huh? Sorry, I didn’t pay attention.”

“It doesn’t matter, I don’t care, but my brother is a boy.”

“.”

“follow me.”

Sakakibara mustered up the courage and took the initiative to hold Tianhai Jiureli’s hand and walk towards the temple fair.

Although he said the words “Follow me”, Sakakibara actually didn’t know where to go.

He simply took Kuriuri to a skewer shop. While holding hands, he asked her if she was hungry. After getting a small nod from her, Sakakibara happily turned to the one wearing a [Must Win] headscarf. The turbaned uncle ordered two charcoal-fired green pepper beef skewers.

“Okay! Miss guest, your things are ready!”

“Thanks.”

After paying the money, Sakakibara glanced at the two small skewers in his hands, pinched the bamboo sticks wrapped in paper towels, and gave one to Amami Kuriuri who was standing opposite.

“Give.”

It was a normal action at ordinary times, but at this moment, its meaning was somewhat different.

It’s as beautiful and sweet as sharing food between lovers.

“Well, thank you brother.”

While eating the skewers, Sakakihara Raku couldn’t help but look at the way she was eating. She was very reserved, probably because she had been trained in etiquette since childhood. If she felt that the skewers were hot, she would gently fan the skewers with her hands. surface instead of blowing with your mouth.

Then he took a small bite of the meat skewer and exhaled the hot air.

The drooping eyelids, the hanging wisteria flowers, and the face were stained with a layer of rose color at some point.

At this time, Sakakihara Raku felt that she was so cute, so adorable.

Not the usual dignified sister Jiuliuli, but now the cute and charming sister Jiuliuli who can fan the barbecue skewers with her little hands.

Sakakihara smiled knowingly.

After eating the skewers, he took the initiative to lead her and continued walking in the colorful night market, with various carts and terraces scattered on both sides.

The place is brightly lit, and the orange lanterns on each stall make the place lively.

The faint aroma of snacks overflows among the laughter of the crowd.

Sakakibara also took Kuruuri to fish for goldfish, standing among a bunch of children.

The group of children saw a big brother coming to fish for goldfish, and he looked like he was “covering me!” ], all cast their eyes expectantly.

Come on, big brother! We watch you perform!

Even Jiuliuli was curious and stood aside to watch.

Unfortunately, he didn’t pick up any of them.

That paper is too tattered! If the fish moves even a little bit, it will leak out!

Of course, the kid wouldn’t listen to the explanation, and even said something like “If your brother doesn’t have skills, don’t show off, or your girlfriend will look down on you.”

Tianhai Jiuliuli covered her mouth and smiled.

this.

Although Jiu Liuli was not his girlfriend, Sakakihara Raku was still dissatisfied and fished her out ten more times.

The result was obvious. On the contrary, it was the kid who spoke who succeeded in the first try.

Sakakihara Raku was slapped in the face on the spot.

Upon seeing his embarrassment, the children around him all laughed. Even Tianhai Jiuliuli, who was standing aside, covered his mouth and smiled happily again.

“Well, I must be too strong.”

This is how Sakakihara Raku explained to Amami Kuruuri after leaving.

And Tianhai Jiuliuli just smiled and said nothing. When he listened, he would nod his head with a “hmm” expression, showing a reserved and trusting feeling.

Speaking of temple fairs, shooting stalls is naturally an inevitable money-making activity.

It makes sense that this activity has endured for so long.

It’s basically a good place for a boyfriend to act cool in front of his girlfriend.

Of course Sakakibara wanted to show off her brother’s power in front of Kuruuri. She was better with bows and arrows, but that wasn’t necessarily the case with air rifles.

However, today’s shooting booth is different. Instead of air guns, bows and arrows are used.

In that stall, there were all kinds of compound bows, recurve bows, and bows.

1,000 yen, five arrows, and if you hit one arrow, you can pick up a small doll.

Although it was not an air rifle, this quickly attracted Raku Sakakihara’s attention, because he discovered that not only singles, but also doubles competitions were available in this shooting booth.

As long as two people hit 20 arrows in a row, they can take away the 200,000 yen cash prize!

Sakakihara looked at it for a long time with great interest.

Isn’t this equivalent to giving it away for free?

Sakakihara Raku quickly pulled Tianhai Jiureli to sign up and go on stage.

Relying on the experience and tacit understanding accumulated in the competition, the two drew their bows and were able to complete the shooting alternately without even exchanging words.

A beautiful girl like Tianhai Jiuliuli naturally attracted extraordinary attention at such a lively temple fair.

She and Raku Sakakibara each hit an arrow.

There will be uncles shouting below: “The little girl is amazing! The boy is amazing!”

One arrow after another hit the target, making the boss frightened.

But the two of them had steady bow-drawing hands and worked well together. Even the uninitiated audience could see their tacit understanding.

Of course, these 200,000 yuan were pocketed.

“The boss didn’t seem right just now. He won’t lose money today, right?”

“Didn’t you see that after Jiuliuli left, it became more popular? Maybe we will make more money, because we proved that the 200,000 grand prize is really possible.”

“Brother is complimenting me on my beauty.” Tianhai Jiuliuli blinked.

“Of course I think you are beautiful. When I first looked at you, I stared at your face for a while, thinking how could there be such a beautiful girl in this world.”

“Then, thank you for the compliment, brother.”

“Wait a minute, I actually won something just now.”

Sakakihara quietly took out an exquisite small wooden box from behind, and then took out an exquisite jewelry decorated with a plum blossom.

After pinning it on for her, Tianhai Jiuliuli touched it with her hand curiously, a little shyly:

“Does it look good?”

“If it were an ordinary girl, I would definitely reply that you are beautiful, but Jiuliuli, you are beautiful on your own, and paired with something like this, well, it should be said that it is extremely touching.”

I don’t know if it was because of the jewelry she was wearing, but Tianhai Jiuliuli’s face turned a little red at this moment.

The two walked to a small jewelry stall. The stall hung cattail fans, jewelry, earrings, and various trinkets and wooden crafts, which attracted Tianhai Jiuliuli’s attention.

Visiting such a stall with a beautiful girl can really make you feel confident.

Anyone passing by would have to take a look at Tianhai Jiuliuli.

In such an atmosphere, Amami Kuruuri called Sakakibara Raku to his side. As a return gift, he also picked two small things for him.

A colorful knot with a blessing wish.

“I originally wanted to give him a necklace, but I don’t know why it doesn’t feel right.”

Amami Kuruuri asked Sakakihara Raku to stretch out his hand and then tie the knot for him with his own hands.

While Amami Kuruuri was helping her tie the knot, Sakakihara Raku saw the sparkling look in her eyes and her endearing look.

“Thanks.”

“Brother said thank you for what.”

“You always say thank you to me too.”

“That’s because what my brother did deserves a thank you, and I’m just returning the favor. Well, okay!”

Sakakibara stared at the colorful knot on her wrist for a while.

He realized that this was Jiuliuli’s gift to him.

The one who bent down to tie his shoes without anyone waiting for him, who was sick and hospitalized without anyone visiting him.

Also received gifts.

Take the initiative to help, take the initiative to take care of, and take the initiative to tidy up your clothes.

Maybe, maybe, maybe this is just a trivial matter to Jiuliuli.

But for Sakakibara Raku, that is the kind of attention that can make life turbulent.

It is precisely because of this.

Jiuliuli’s proactive response to him at this moment was even more precious.

“elder brother.”

“Nine-glazed glass.”

“Um?”

“After walking together at the temple fair today, I understand my feelings better. I will be moved by your smile, and I will also feel happy because of my brief handshake with you. Maybe your feelings are not deep, but I really I’m very grateful for your concern and for saying to me seriously that “cooking is not simple at all”. You acknowledge me and give me care and encouragement.

“After this temple fair, I was really happy.

“Being liked by someone you like is truly a blessing. Of course, being rejected is also a normal thing, so the moment I truly like you, I was already prepared.

“I like you, Jiuliuli, so I also want to listen carefully to your answer to me, Jiuliuli.”

“Brother, what if I don’t agree?”

“If you don’t agree, well, I’ll accept it. I’m ready.”

“Well, let me think about it, I don’t want to reject my brother, but I also feel that I am still a little bit shy of agreeing. Of course, I also have a good impression of my brother. I like his responsibilities very much and I also like him to accompany me for my morning run. , the atmosphere when practicing archery together.”

Tianhai Jiuliuli held her chin and thought for a while, “Well, the fireworks will start later. Kiss me and I can try to start a relationship with my brother.”

Sakakihara was stunned: “Ah? Kiss you?”

Tianhai Jiuliuli, who had a bouquet of wisteria flowers tied in her hair, smiled happily: “Don’t you want to?”

“.Kiss on the face?”

Tianhai Jiuliuli raised her hand, the silver hairpin moved slightly, and she pointed to her lips:

“here.”
