[Your parents and sister were very worried about you being alone outside. In the first three days after you got home, you were treated very well. The dishes you ate every day were your favorite flavors. Your beloved didn’t dare to speak loudly to you.]
[Three days later, a typhoon that brought cool air passed by the sea and moved away from Ino Prefecture. The temperature rose sharply, and your treatment plummeted. The three meals became perfunctory, and your beloved began to frown. ]
[In the morning, you and your beloved had an argument over who should use the sink first. The girl angrily came to you to ask for the material and labor costs of origami cranes. She quoted a figure that she thought was shocking.]
[Her angry look made you happy. You took a lot of money from Ichinose Shiori, which could easily pay the girl's high labor costs, but you knew that paying the money back was the most unemotional response.]
[You experienced the pleasure of being a deadbeat. ]
[It’s not that you don’t want to pay back the money, and your beloved doesn’t really want to ask for the money. ]
[During lunch, your parents are a little worried about you staying at home all the time, so they urge you to go out and find your childhood playmates.]
[Your beloved takes the opportunity to ask you to go shopping with her, but you don't want to, so she threatens you with paper crane money. ]
[You are in Jingjin City, a medium-sized city in Ino Prefecture. It is not as prosperous as Misaki, but it also has several large shopping malls. ]
[You went to one of the restaurants, and a beloved friend accompanied you. Her name was Jun, Jun Shirai.]
[She was a petite and flat girl like her beloved. Compared to them, Yuko was already a towering mountain.]
[You can see that Xin Ai wants to bring you and Chun together, but you pretend not to see through it and resolve Xin Ai's move.]
[The next day, Xin Ai dragged Chun to her home again. She asked you to play games with her, trying to attack your weaknesses.]
[You still don't respond.]
[On the third day, His Highness Xinai visited the home of his loyal best friend Chun to provide combat guidance.]
[The two girls made all the preparations and returned home, only to find that you were gone. ]
[Father told them that you went back to the countryside.]
[The Nan family has lived in the city since your grandfather's generation. After your grandfather passed away, your grandmother got tired of city life and returned to the countryside.]
[The village is not big, located at the foot of the mountain. In terms of blood relationship, half of the village are your relatives. ]
[If you want to trace your relationship with Nan Liuli and Nan Xiaojiu, you must transit through this village. ]
[The last time you and Liuli Xiaojiu met was in this village.]
[This time too.]
[You took the bus and arrived at the old house in the countryside at ten o'clock. At twelve o'clock, at lunch time, the two sisters sat next to you.]
Memory scenes emerge.
The summer heat was blocked by the green mountains, and a cool breeze blew through the forest. The sliding doors on both sides of the living room were open, and the mountain breeze passed through the middle, making Nan Youxi a little sleepy.
He yawned.
"Grandma, my brother thinks the topic you are talking about is boring." A voice sounded, the voice was clear but the content was very sarcastic.
"It's not a problem of the topic, it's a problem of the people. People like us from the country can't arouse the brother's interest." Another voice sounded.
The timbre of this voice is very similar to the previous one, but the tone is slower and softer.
“So that’s how it is!”
"That's it."
"I'm sorry I can't attract my brother's interest."
"Let's leave now and not waste my brother's time."
"..." Nan Youxi stretched out her hands, pinching the two girls' faces, one on the left and one on the right.
The girls laughed and dodged, hiding behind an old man nearby.
With the old man's support, the two girls became even more proud. They put their arms around the old man's waist and made faces at Nan Youxi.
This pair of girls are Nan Youxi’s two cousins. The more lively one is Xiaojiu, and the more quiet one is Liuli.
The two girls inherited the fine bloodline of the Nan family and were born with a beautiful face. This is not a grammatical error, the two girls were indeed born with only one beautiful face, and this is not a horror story, they did not share a face, they just looked very similar.
so similar.
Nan Youxi stared at the two smiling faces, and after carefully distinguishing them for a while, she could barely tell that the one on the left was Xiaojiu and the one on the right was Liuli.
He judged people not by their appearance but by their expressions.
To say that it was a humble statement was a rigorous academic attitude, because there couldn't be two people in the world who were exactly alike. In fact, even the families of the two girls would find it difficult to tell them apart based on their appearance alone.
"You two really look more and more alike." Nan Youxi couldn't help but sigh.
The last time I met the two of them was in junior high school. At that time, Liuli was shorter and Xiaojiu was taller. Now the two girls are even the same height.
"Change the subject?" Nan Xiaojiu was unwilling to miss the opportunity to persecute Nan Youxi.
“That’s what I was thinking.” Nan Liuli followed up.
"Grandma, we are really disliked." The two of them looked at the old lady together and made pitiful expressions.
"It's okay, grandma doesn't dislike you." The old lady smiled and hugged her two granddaughters in her arms.
Even the old lady couldn't help it and joined in the persecution.
Nan Youxi could only face the attack head-on. He used a divisive tactic: "Who wants my fried meat pie?"
"I want it!" The two girls immediately disagreed. No one disliked fried meat patties, and they were no exception.
A girl picked up the bowl and came to Nan Youxi: "It's Xiaojiu who said bad things about my brother. Give my brother to me!"
The other girl said in shock, "Xiaojiu, why are you pretending to be me? Brother, don't listen to her, I am Liuli!"
A persecution turned into a scene of real and fake Liujiu.
Nan Youxi was in a good mood as she watched the two girls point out little by little what about each other didn't look like Liuli and what about each other looked like Xiaojiu.
He thought, the two sisters are still so happy.
The fried meat patties were finally divided into two halves, one for each person. It seemed that the dispute was perfectly resolved. However, the two girls started arguing again about whose piece was bigger.
Their argument was not full of smoke, but rather like the harmony of a harp and a zither. Nan Youxi thought that it had nothing to do with who the meat patties were given to or the size of the meat patties, they just wanted to have a quarrel.
The boy looked at their similar faces and listened to their chattering, and his depressed mood due to the disappearance of Asano's house improved a little.
A cheerful atmosphere lingered around the two sisters. The mountain wind blowing through the hall spread the joy all over the living room and around Nan Youxi.
Neither Ichinose Shiori nor Chiju Kazumi could bring him such a happy feeling.
After eating the fried meat patties and ending the argument, Ruri and Xiaojiu turned their attention to Minami Yuki again. They asked about Misaki, one question after another.
At this time, the difference in their personalities was revealed. Xiaojiu only asked about eating, drinking and having fun, while Liuli asked about studying and life.
Nan Youxi answered the questions one by one, and her grandmother would interject from time to time, asking for details or making a brief evaluation from the perspective of her own generation.
After lunch, Nan Youxi followed the two sisters out and strolled around the village.
They returned home a week earlier than Nan Youxi and had become very familiar with each other.
