Summer night and crickets

"Excuse me ."

Furuhashi stepped into the entrance and shouted softly.

"Fumino-chan is welcome, just think of it as her own home."

Asakawa's mother turned her head with a smile.

Furuhashi slightly blushed and said:

"Thank you aunty."

She slipped and accidentally bumped into Asakawa's mother, what should she do?

Of course she came home.

A barefoot junior high school student came running.

"I think I heard Onee-san's voice…" Rin flicked her ponytail, and when she saw Furuhashi at the entrance, her eyes widened, "It really is Onee-san!"

Rin ran in a hurry and hit Furuhashi's arm with a thud.

It is a pity that Furuhashi is strong on the outside, but she looks good, but his body is weak.

Naoki half squatted on the ground to untie his shoelaces, and saw Furuhashi showing signs of instability, he stretched out his hand to support her without saying a word, and the soft and smooth touch suddenly filled his palm.

"Ah..."

A girl's panicked voice suddenly sounded.

"Onee-san, what's wrong with you?"

Rin asked curiously.

"It doesn't matter."

Furuhashi gritted his teeth lightly, his face quickly turning red, while trying to maintain a smile, she reached out his hand to cover his buttocks, and looked at Naoki with puffy cheeks.

Naoki said firmly:

"Accidents that occur on the way to rescue must not be held legally responsible."

"Ugh-"

"Onee-san, why are you here?"

Rin asked curiously.

"Actually, I came to watch the meteor shower..."

Furuhashi reaches out and touches Rin's hair, and says the purpose of this trip, is not to come on a date, and Rin has no problem at all.

She didn't tell Rin beforehand, simply because she didn't want to visit Asakawa's mother. Now that she had been found, she had no need to hide it.

"Ah, I know that river. Nii-chan took me out to play earlier in the summer, there really are a lot of fireflies." Rin quickly raised her hand, "Onee-san, I will also play."

Furuhashi nodded and agreed: "Let's go together later."

Putting on slippers and entering the living room, Asakawa's mother came out of the kitchen and greeted:

"Fumino-chan, come and eat watermelon."

"Thank you aunty."

Furuhashi hurriedly thanked him.

"I just bought a watermelon at the supermarket, and I'm still worried I won't be able to eat it." Asakawa's mother said warmly, "Watermelon can't be kept in the fridge overnight, or it will end up in the hospital."

"Actually, you can put it in the fridge overnight." Naoki said casually, "Just peel the surface of the watermelon when you eat it."

"Um?"

Asakawa's mother averted her gaze and looked up.

Naoki took a piece of watermelon.

"Give it to Fumino-chan first."

Asakawa's mother ordered.

It is rare to return, and the family status is too low!

Furuhashi hastily said, "I will take it myself."

"Onee-san, don't be polite to Nii-chan." Rin had already picked up the watermelon and started eating it. "Onee-san, just call him, the more you call him, the happier you will be."

Who would love to be called by someone else! You are not talking about a brother, but a servant!

No wonder you and Yuika have a great relationship, and you have masochistic tendencies in your bones!

"Ha ha ha..."

Furuhashi didn't say anything and could only smile.

"You guys play." Asakawa's mother nodded in satisfaction, "I went to the kitchen to cook."

Rin was eating watermelon, and suddenly her eyes turned:

"Onee-san, I want to ask you."

"Eh? What?"

"Hmm, a very simple question." Rin lifted her chin and cleared her throat, "You think watermelon is a vegetable or a fruit?"

"Hah?" Furuhashi with a doubtful expression on his face, "That… it must be a fruit, right?"

"Wrong answer." Rin became proud, "It's a vegetable."

Furuhashi looked at the watermelon in his hand: "It doesn't look like a vegetable?"

Rin pointed out: "Nii-chan told me that."

Furuhashi turned to look at Naoki.

"I didn't say it." Naoki said slowly, "You remembered it wrong."

"Liar." Rin became anxious, "I told you before that it's a vegetable."

Naoki said unhurriedly, "That's what I said wrong."

"Mom!" Rin took a deep breath and shouted, "Nii-chan bullied me!"

"Naoki." Asakawa's mother's voice quickly came from the kitchen, "Don't disturb your little sister."

"Even the most adorable little sister in the world is being fooled." Rin stretched out her right hand, "Nii-chan, quickly give me some pocket money."

Furuhashi sat next to her, his eyes slightly envious: "You two have a very good relationship."

As an only child, his mother had long since died, and his relationship with his father was very stiff. Furuhashi desperately wanted to have a younger brother and sister.

Naoki said:

"From a botanical point of view, watermelon is a vegetable. Like pumpkins, loofahs and cucumbers, all are cucurbitaceous plants, but in everyday life, fruits that can be eaten raw are generally fruits."

"The biological definition of fruit is different from our ordinary fruit." Naoki said casually, "For example, pineapple, which looks like a fruit, is actually an inflorescence, and orange, whose petals actually develop from glandular hair cells. ... ... "

"What are glandular hair cells?" Furuhashi leaned back slightly and couldn't help but complain, "I won't be able to face oranges in the future!"

After eating watermelon, Furuhashi and Rin watched together "Cherry Maruko". A high school student and a junior high school student, are still watching it with pleasure, and don't know where the fun comes from.

In the blink of an eye it was time for dinner.

"I'll start now."

Furuhashi clasped his hands together.

As a girl with full social skills, Furuhashi had relaxed now.

"I was in a hurry today, so I just cooked this dish." Asakawa's mother's voice was gentle, "Fumino-chan, how about that."

Furuhashi nodded happily: "Auntie's cooking is delicious."

Sure enough, this is a very easy meal to satisfy. This is obviously just regular home food. Not very tasty no matter how she looked at it, if she found a super delicious food in the future, would his clothes explode?

"Naoki." Asakawa's mother glanced over, "Why don't you talk?"

Why didn't I speak?

You have finished talking, of course there is nothing to say!

"The food is so delicious." Naoki said, "I'm so busy eating, I don't have time to talk."

There were three women at the table, and Naoki didn't need to liven up the atmosphere at all, just ate quietly.

After finishing the bowl of rice, Furuhashi couldn't help but glance at the rice cooker and took the initiative to add rice or something, and she was really embarrassed.

"Give me a bowl."

A hand reached out from the side.

Furuhashi slightly blushed and said, "I'm full..."

When you say you are full, you have to hold the bowl tightly, don't let it go easily!

Naoki got up and filled a bowl of rice and handed it to Furusashi.

"Thank you Asakawa-san."

Furuhashi whispered thanks.

After dinner, Rin couldn't rest at all, and quickly said:

"Mom, we went to watch the meteor shower."

"Go." Asakawa's mother raised her voice, "Naoki, take care of Rin and Fumino-chan."

Naoki calmly said:

"Know."

"Auntie, we're going out."

Furuhashi bowed and said goodbye politely.

Walking out of the house, the cool and pleasant summer evening breeze blew, and there were crickets clearly blowing in the wind.

"It's getting dark."

Furuhashi looked up at the sky, and the galaxy intertwined with countless stars shone brightly.
