Chapter 177 Ambiguous Morning

The soft sunlight penetrated the gauze curtains and shone into the room. Jiuhuayue buried her face in the shark doll and felt the warmth of the light. She stood up and looked out the window in a daze. There seemed to be a layer of green mist floating in the transparent air.

"Aha~~"

Jiuhuayue raised her arms and stretched lazily, then sat on the edge of the bed for a while, remembering that she was going to Sapporo with everyone in the club to stay for a week.

Why is it that it doesn’t feel like a holiday at all even though it’s summer vacation?

With such a sigh in her heart, Jiuhuayue quickly put on her shoes and got out of bed, began to fix her hair and makeup in front of the dressing table, and put on the Jubei school uniform.

Jiu Huayue posed several times in front of the mirror and raised her little chin towards herself in the mirror.

She closed her eyes and reached out to push her hair back.

A tall, beautiful girl who is confident, cool and like a flower on the mountain top, isn’t that me?
Look at this figure!
Look at these legs!

Look at this waistline that even a sailor suit can’t hide!
Look at these purple gemstone-like eyes that even the most beautiful girls don’t have!

By the way, am I a little conceited?
Jiuhuayue is still a little embarrassed
She doesn't think there's anything wrong with posing in front of the camera because it's her job.

But I am facing myself.
Well, uncle should like these, right?

It's still early now, Jiuhuayue took out her mobile phone to check the historical messages.

The source of the news is the four-member group called "Qiansong Jiulin".

The name of the group was chosen by Chitose.

Jiuhuayue didn’t know why she chose such a strange name.

[Hawaii Chitose: Brother Shu said that we won’t start training right after arriving in Sapporo today!]
[Hiragi Rinka: Eh? Shouldn't we be more strict with our training as the competition approaches?]
[Yang Kui Chitose: I’m not sure. Maybe Brother Shu thought we should be given a holiday?]
[Matsumae Shinchun: Please wait a moment. I will go ask Mr. Fujii.]
[Hiragi Rinka: OK]
There were several minutes between chat messages.

[Matsumae Shinchun: Sorry for the long wait. Mr. Fujii just woke up. He said he gave us two days off. The reason is that the high-intensity training lasted too long, and the competition would be counterproductive. So after arriving in Sapporo, he gave us some free time to relax.]
[Hinako Chitose: Brother Shu is awesome! Then let’s discuss where to go for fun! What do you think, Rinka? @柊凛花]
[Hiragi Rinka: I. I have no opinion.]
Jiuhuayue looked at a long list, but they still couldn't agree on where they wanted to go.

Then they @ed themselves in the group and asked for their opinions on where to go for fun.

Jiuhuayue thought for a moment and started typing.

[Jiuhuayue: When I go out to play, I prefer to go hiking.]
[Hinako Chitose: Satsuki appears!]
[Hiragi Rinka: Satsuki seems to really like mountain climbing]
[Jiuhuayue: Mountain climbing is a good way to exercise your physical fitness and is also a good way to lose weight.]
[Yang Kui Chitose: @九花月, do models have to pay special attention to their weight? Being too fat is not okay, and being too thin is not okay either.]
[Jiuhuayue: Of course.]
[Matsumae Shinchun: As for mountain climbing, I know there are several places near downtown Sapporo. Well, the closest place is Mt. Soiwa. I wonder if you have been there?]
The other two said no.

Jiuhuayue also typed in the group saying that she had never been there.

[Matsumae Shinchun: How about we stay here? The scenery of Soiwa Mountain is also very beautiful, and there is also the Soiwa Mountain Observation Deck, which is very suitable for taking photos. We can take a photo together then.]
Since no one had been there before, Matsumae Shinharu's decision was unanimously approved.

Chitose Yangkui also wanted to take the uncle with her.

It’s a pity that the uncle seems to have to deal with competition-related matters with Akai Muko today, so he is destined to be unable to accompany them.

Besides, as an uncle, it’s not easy for me to hang out with others in Sapporo.

The chat was quite pleasant, but why did Jiuhuayue feel that Xinchun was speaking for her?
I wanted to go hiking, so she immediately gave me a plan.

This is simply.
It's just like protecting yourself, right?
Jiuhuayue lay back on the big bed, hugged her cell phone, and the image of Matsumae Shinchun came to her mind.

Especially her past image.

The one who always follows me and calls me "Xiaoyue". Matsumae Shinharu.

Jiuhuayue had thought about this when she first met Matsumae Shinharu.

Could it be that Matsumae Shinharu still loves me?
I still remember you after all these years.

The first thing he did when he saw me was to come over and talk to me.

Even though I ignored her again and again, she never got angry with me.

Jiu Huayue believes that she is not the kind of person who likes to bully others.

Now that my relationship with Matsumae Shinharu has become closer, and she is now speaking in such a protective manner towards me, it would be a lie to say that I don't feel the slightest bit of guilt towards her.

If I try to reconcile this time, will she and I really become good friends again?

Jiu Huayue closed her eyes and placed the phone on her chest.

It seemed as if the subtle distance between her and I had weakened a little.

A childhood friend?
It seems that holding hands together feels pretty good.

Jiuhuayue went downstairs quickly. Just as she walked past the stairs, she smelled the fragrance coming from the living room.

She carefully leaned against the wall and looked over there.

Fujii Itsuki was seen wearing an apron and busy preparing breakfast in the open kitchen.

He is cooking noodles.
Can noodles be cooked so fragrantly?

Jiuhuayue did not choose to disturb, but watched quietly.

He saw the uncle simmering, stirring, and scooping the noodles, then putting the noodles into the soup bowl he had prepared in advance.
A big bowl full of it, garnished with red oil, chives, and barbecued pork.

The uncle walked to the dining table with two bowls of noodles, put them down, looked over here, and walked over again, as if he wanted to come to the stairs to call me downstairs.
Jiuhuayue retracted her head and lowered it.

although
Although it is just a simple thing, why do I feel inexplicably moved when I see an uncle busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen as soon as I wake up?

Watching him holding two bowls of noodles, I realized that I had one.
Does it prove that he has me in his heart?
Does it prove that he will always think of me?
Jiu Huayue sometimes really hates the thoughts of a little girl like herself.

How can you be so pretentious?
But if you say I was moved, I was indeed very moved.

Because of this, this atmosphere feels very homely.

As soon as Fujii Itsuki reached the corner of the stairs, he saw Jiuhuayue leaning against the wall.

"Xiaoyue? Why are you standing here?"

".Look at you making noodles." Jiu Huayue lowered her head in front of him, then raised her small purple eyes to look at him.

"What's so good about me cooking noodles?"

Fujii Itsuki smiled and said, "The noodles are ready, let's eat them quickly."

Jiuhuayue nodded, then followed him to sit at the dining table.

Pick up the chopsticks, pick up the noodles, blow them gently with your mouth, and then put them into your mouth.

This taste.
"It's delicious, right? Chitose and I learned how to make this, and you're the second person to eat it. I got up so early this morning because I wanted to replicate it."

".Why not the first one?"

"The first one must be Chitose. She grabbed the noodles I made and ate them."

"."

Fujii Itsuki saw Jiuhuayue’s slightly chubby face.

This child, is he jealous too?

How come he’s better at eating than Qiansui?

However, seeing that she looked so cute, Fujii Itsuki actually enjoyed it and asked again, "It looks like you are very unhappy today, Xiaoyue."

"I just--"

"Just what?"

"I just think I probably won't be able to eat noodles this delicious forever, right?"

"how come."

This pretty little fat bird nods its head when it speaks.

And he always peeks at me.

The hidden meaning behind her words and actions is self-evident.

How should Fujii Itsuki describe his feelings at this moment?

Sure enough, I am happy.

Fujii Itsuki didn't say anything next. Instead, he stood up under her gaze, went back to the bedroom, took something out and hid it behind him.

Jiuhuayue was really curious.

"What are you so mysterious about?"

Fujii Itsuki smiled and closed his eyes, then took out a Q-version shark doll in front of the girl.

It was visibly that Jiuhuayue was stunned when she saw the shark doll.

Then the pupils became larger and brighter, and the eyes sparkled.

".Uncle, when are you..." "After the club was disbanded yesterday, I went shopping when I passed by the shopping street. I saw a shark in the doll shop and thought you would like it, so I bought it for you."

".You just bought it."

Fujii Itsuki handed it over and Jiuhuayue took it with both hands.

"You like it?" he asked with a faint smile.

Of course I do!

Jiuhuayue really wanted to answer this immediately.

But she probably felt that this was too childish and that she would be too easy to be conquered, so she raised her little face slightly and said in a rather high-profile tone:

"It's not bad! Thank you for the gift, uncle, but I'm almost an adult now, so I definitely don't like this kind of thing as much as I used to!"

Fujii Itsuki held the bowl and sat next to the girl.

".Uncle! What do you want to do.?"

Jiuhuayue was shocked by his behavior and immediately lost her composure and became panicked.

Nervous.

"I'm giving you a gift, so I want a seat next to you for dinner. That's not too much, right?"

".It's not too much."

Jiuhuayue was really curious.

What exactly did the uncle mean by sitting over here?
So while eating noodles, she would always pay attention to him from time to time.

Unfortunately, until the noodles were almost finished, the uncle was still sitting there without any movement.

It seems like uncle, you really just came to sit next to me and eat noodles!

Jiuhuayue muttered to herself while eating noodles, and at the same time, she used her other hand to pinch the shark doll on her thigh.

"Ok?"

Fujii Itsuki finished his noodles and noticed the girl's expression.

It is indeed fun to tease girls.

"Why do you look angry again?"

".Uncle, you are asking even though you already know the answer."

"Why am I asking even though I already know the answer? I'm not a bug in your stomach, Xiaoyue, so how do I know what you're thinking?"

".You are so nice to me so early in the morning, cooking noodles and giving me a small gift. I will definitely be happy, okay?"

"so what?"

Jiu Huayue still lowered her head, holding the shark doll in her right hand, and stretched out her left hand to hold the hem of his clothes.
"Can't you just stay closer to me?"

"Ahem, Jiuhua-san, please pay attention to our identities and don't embarrass the teacher."

"Uncle, you——! Humph. You're so annoying!"

Fujii Itsuki placed his chopsticks flat on the bowl, and his tone and expression suddenly became serious:
"I'm not kidding, Xiaoyue, you always think this way. Have you ever thought about our status? Age? I'm ten years older than you."

"I don't care about that!"

"Is it?"

"Uncle, I don't care about your identity. It's not like we met at school! The most important thing between you and me is our private friendship. Uncle, so what? You're ten years older than me. On the contrary, you're much more mature than those boys who are still in puberty!

“I don’t mind these uncles, why are you asking?
"Or do you like girls who are older than you, uncle?"

Fujii Itsuki did not answer and took the initiative to change the subject: "Xiaoyue, to be honest, I feel that I am a little abnormal recently."

"Pervert uncle"

"Xiaoyue, you still don't seem to mind."

".I already knew you were a perverted uncle, so I was mentally prepared."

"Xiaoyue, you also know my identity in society. So, during this period of time, I often feel that I am very separated from myself. I wonder if you understand what I mean?"

Jiuhuayue: "I know roughly."

"I have been troubled by this matter for a long time. I would like to hear your opinion, Xiaoyue."

"I think you think too much, uncle."

"what happened?"

"Although I have only learned how to use the Internet for a short time, I have seen a lot of things. Some people, and uncle, didn't you say something? Work and life are separated, work is work, life is life. I think uncle, you are perverted, so be it! Anyway, you are not that perverted, and you are not doing anything harmful to others. As long as you don't bring your life into your work, it's fine.

“Work hard and do whatever you want after get off work, but don’t go too far!

"Isn't this good?"

"." Fujii Itsuki fell into deep thought.

"Although I also feel that this will not be fully accepted by society, but at least it is worthy of my heart! Anyway, this is what I think, uncle, don't dwell too long on whether you are a pervert or not, uncle, you are."

"What do you think of me, Xiaoyue?"

"Do you want me to speak frankly?"

"Yes, keep it simple."

"I still like your words anyway!"

I don’t know if it was because I made breakfast for her and gave her gifts today that it worked.

Fujii Itsuki felt that Jiuhuayue was a little irrational now.

My head is hot.

Fujii Itsuki subconsciously glanced at her thighs sticking out from under her pleated skirt.

I want to touch her, but I'm afraid of scaring her, so forget it.
".Uncle, do you still want it?"

"what?"

Fujii Itsuki didn't react at all, and Jiuhuayue stood up in front of him with a red face.

"Let me borrow your bedroom."

Jiu Huayue whispered something and ran to his bedroom. Within two minutes, she came out with something hidden behind her back.

Jiuhuayue sat down next to him, then moved her chair a little closer.

The girl looked forward.

"hand"

Fujii Itsuki honestly stretched out his hand.

The next second, Jiuhuayue quickly stuffed a soft cloth into his hand.

"This"

It's really a joke.

Jiu Huayue reached out and tucked her hair behind her ears, revealing her pretty face. With red ears, she added in a low voice:
"Just changed."

"Xiaoyue, I was not in my right mind last time. It seems that I don't like the cake Xinchun gave me."

"So uncle, do you want it?"

"."

this.
To do it or not to do it?
"This is for the night. By the way, I don't use sanitary napkins or anything like that at night. They're all close-fitting."

"."

"If you need it in the future, just tell me. I won't say anything more."

"."

Why does it feel like this relationship is getting weirder and weirder?
