Chapter 31 Let’s be friends! (Part )

The room is almost tidied, and the next step is to clean the windows.

The windows in Fujii Itsuki's room were fine. Some of the windows on the first floor were large arched windows, so big and tall that you couldn't reach the top window even when standing on the dining table.

That's why these windows were left uncleaned yesterday.

"No ladder?"

"No."

"Then why not just give up and not clean the windows at all."

"No. If you want to clean, you have to clean it thoroughly."

This girl is really stubborn, and Fujii Itsuki feels that he cannot persuade her.

The method she thought of was very simple. Fujii Itsuki stood below and she stood on his shoulders.

".Is this okay?"

"No problem!" Jiu Huayue was very sure, "I have a good balance and I will definitely not fall."

The two of them first pulled a table over to use as a footrest, and then Jiu Huayue went up and took off her shoes and socks.

"Uncle, please stand still. I'm still a little scared."

"If you're afraid, don't wipe it."

"That won't do!"

Jiuhuayue looked at his shoulder, mustered up her courage, and stepped on it with her bare feet as white as lotus.

When all the girls stood on his shoulders, Fujii Itsuki's face immediately turned bitter.

Good weight
I forgot that this girl is at least 1.7 meters tall.

"Why, why is it a little shaky? Uncle, please be steady."

"I know you need to wipe it quickly-"

In his entire life, he had never been stepped on the shoulder by a girl like this, let alone a girl who was 10 years younger than him.

No, Chitose seemed to have stepped on it before. I took her outside to pick green plums before.

She was still young at that time, and she always liked to sit on my shoulders and not get down after picking things.

In order to get her down, I like to run and scare her, but I always fail. Every time I have her on top of me, I get so scared that I clamp my legs tightly together, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

She's older, but she's never done that before.

"Uncle, uncle, go left."

".You can yell if you want to! Don't move your toes. Do you know that it makes my shoulders itchy? It's tiring enough to stand for you! You're so heavy."

"Ah? Is that so? I understand. Also, where am I overweight?"

"Stop talking nonsense and stand still."

"Oh well."

Fujii Itsuki opened his hands, balancing on a pole, and then slowly moved to the left to the next window.

About five minutes.

"Uncle, please change your handkerchief. Don't look up!"

After the girl's feet moved a little closer to his neck, Fujii Itsuki raised his hand and took the dirty handkerchief. "You are not wearing a skirt, you are wearing overalls. Why are you afraid of exposing yourself?"

". Even so, I still can't accept someone looking up from under my body. I always feel like I'm being seen naked."

"I still can't accept someone stepping on my shoulder. Okay, okay, hurry up, you've only just cleaned two windows, there are still eight to go."

"Oh."

After all, it was the first time to work together, so it was inevitable that there would be some imbalance.

Fujii Itsuki subconsciously grabbed her ankles to help her keep her balance. The moment he touched the girl's feet, he felt two things - small and cold.

"Be careful."

"I know."

After that, Jiuhuayue rarely lost her balance. Fujii Itsuki could feel that she was indeed as well-balanced as she said.

The two of them wiped all the remaining glass in one go.

"Comfortable, comfortable."

Not only Fujii Itsuki's room, but also the entire lobby was clear of clutter. The garbage was sorted and piled in the corner, and the chandelier above was wiped clean, looking brand new. His room was even more neatly stacked with clothes, and there was not a speck of dust or scattered garbage on the floor.

Another whole day was spent.

After finishing the cleaning work, Fujii Itsuki went to look at his room again. It was a bit unbelievable that this was cleaned by two people.

You have to know that this is an old house. When he moved in, it had the yellowing and musty smell unique to old houses.

"Uncle is quite capable today."

"Instead of praising me, you should think about what to eat tonight. It's already eight o'clock."

".I don't have the energy to make dinner anyway."

Fujii Itsuki didn't understand what she meant, "Then I'll do it. Can you keep it simple?"

Jiu Huayue's eyes lit up, but she didn't dare to show it too obviously, and just replied in a small voice: "All right."

"Then let's stew the potatoes with meat. Anyway, you bought some ingredients this morning and I remember I have some throat lozenges that you can add to it."

"Throat lozenges? Uncle, please don't make such a weird dish."

"Don't worry."

Although he is not as good as Chitose, Fujii Itsuki thinks his skills are still good enough.

A simple stew of potatoes and meat is ready in less than half an hour.

Jiuhuayue is also a genuine young lady. Every time she eats, no matter how hungry she is, she will never forget etiquette and elegance.

Eat the steaming hot meal in small bites.

".!"

"How is it?" "I added some throat lozenges. It's surprisingly good, a little sweet but not too much."

Jiu Huayue couldn't stop eating at all. The food was so delicious that she squinted her eyes, but she was still very reserved and enjoyed the food in small bites. She seemed very steady.

It looked like she was really tired and hungry.

Fujii Itsuki smiled, "This special dish was actually taught to me by Chitose."

"Hawaii-san.?"

"Yes, she liked to eat candy when she was little. When I made potato stew with meat, she always wanted me to add sugar. Unexpectedly, it turned out surprisingly good. I only made this dish for Qiansui."

".Such an important dish, you still made it for me?"

"Thank you, after all, you took the trouble to help me tidy up the room."

"Will Yang Kui be angry if he knows?"

"That's okay. She's very generous. Didn't she say she wanted to be friends with you? After all, if you want me to thank you, I can't give you anything. I always thought you were quite cold, Jiuhua, but I didn't expect you to be quite warm-hearted. Are you like this at school?"

Upon hearing this, Jiu Huayue swallowed the stewed meat in her mouth with rice in small sips and said in a low voice:

“No, I hardly talk to anyone at school.”

"reason?"

“I don’t have many friends.”

"Then you should have had friends when you were in elementary and junior high school."

Unexpectedly, Jiu Huayue shook her head and said, "My past is not the same as you imagined. I did not go to an ordinary school, so I did not have any friends."

"No contact?"

"No."

"In that case, Jiuhua, I am quite curious about your life experience."

Jiuhuayue looked towards Fujii Itsuki, "Where's the uncle?"

"Hmm? What do you want to ask?"

"Does the uncle have any friends?"

"Friends? No, I haven't had many friends since junior high school. After all, I was born in an orphanage, and I have no parents. No one wants to be friends with me, and I don't like to play with those naive guys. I just focus on studying hard and getting good grades."

Jiu Huayue laughed, "That uncle was quite sober at that time!"

"Of course. I only had one goal at the beginning - to go to a good university."

"What happened to uncle later?"

"Later, the situation became even worse in high school. I didn't have much money, and I wanted to go to a famous university like Kyoto University. Apart from studying, the only thing I had time for was working part-time."

"What about college?"

"I didn't know how to socialize in college and high school, so how can you still do that in college? I just went to social gatherings to make up the numbers, and those classmates couldn't be considered my real friends. After work, my life is just about work. I don't even have time to deal with my co-workers, so how can I have time to make real friends or drink with them?"

Jiuhuayue ate her meal in small bites and said, "Uncle doesn't have many friends."

Fujii Itsuki smiled and looked at the girl who was eating. "Jiuka, do you mean you want to be friends with me?"

"Yeah." Jiu Huayue admitted generously, "After all, uncle, you look very pitiful."

"Hey, hey, no matter how you look at it, you look more pitiful. You've been crying all the time these past few days."

"Uncle, you always bully me!"

"No way, it makes me sound like I'm an unforgivable sinner."

"Uncle, you are hateful but you are a good person. To comfort me, you even cooked for me and apologized sincerely. You knew I was feeling bad and you were willing to relieve my stress. I want to share the things I like with you more and more."

"Bad shark movie? I don't want it."

Jiu Huayue pursed her lips unhappily and said in a commanding tone, "Don't be disgusted! When one day I really take you to see it, then this will be considered a gift from a good friend!"

".When giving gifts, you also have to consider the other person's preferences. How can that be possible?"

"You're going to love sharks! I'm going to make you feel the charm of sharks."

"You sound a little bit like a young lady when you talk. Jiuhua really wants to make friends with me?"

"Ok!"

"Even though I'm ten years older than you?"

"Is it not possible? I have friends who are 30 or 40 years older than me, and you are a teacher. I think there is nothing wrong with making friends with a teacher. Besides, you will listen to me very seriously. I like to have a friend who can patiently listen to me like this. Of course, uncle, if you have any unhappy things or difficulties, you can tell me. As your friend, I, Jiu Huayue, will definitely listen patiently and help you."

friend
It feels a bit strange.

Fujii Itsuki vaguely felt that the relationship between the two was not like that of friends, but rather like a pronoun that Jiuhua temporarily came up with in order to confirm the relationship between the two.

Friends?
That’s okay.

It's nice to have someone to talk to, even if the other person is a little girl who is usually cold but a little arrogant in private.

"Also." Jiu Huayue blushed and lowered her voice, "Uncle, the potato stew you made is delicious. Can you make it for me tomorrow?"

Fujii Itsuki laughed immediately, "Is that how you order your friend around?"

"Because. Because it's really delicious! I really like it."

"It's good that Jiuhua is honest. I like it."

"Ah? Thank you for your likes. So——"

"Okay, I'm in a good mood today. As your friend, I'll satisfy your request and cook for you tomorrow."

"That's great! Thank you."

Jiuhuayue thanked with a red face and did not forget to eat.

Fujii Itsuki saw this scene and felt that she was as cute as her beauty.

I really can't help myself and I'm becoming more and more attracted to this little girl.

"Wait! Leave some for me, I haven't had dinner yet!"

"Ah? Sorry, I ate too much by accident."
