Chapter 75: Qian Sui's Eloping Journey (Part )
"Two rooms."

"No, just one!"

As Fujii Itsuki opened his wallet, he glanced at Chitose Haruki, who was wearing a white dress. The girl was smiling at him.

"Sir?" The front desk clerk also smiled.

"Then let's take one." Fujii Itsuki turned around and paid in cash.

"Yes, sir," the front desk clerk handed him a room card politely, "Room Y5241, on the th floor, with a buffet breakfast from : to : in the morning."

Fujii Itsuki nodded, put away the room card, glanced at Yang Kui Chitose beside him, and took her into the elevator.

"Let's go."

"Good~"

Arriving at the elevator, Fujii Itsuki pressed the button for the 25th floor.

The girl was smiling all the time beside me.

He probably knew why Chitose was so happy, but he still wanted to ask her in person.

"Chitose."

"Here I am! Brother Shu!"

"Are you happy today?"

“Very happy!”

Facing the continuously flickering LED panel, Fujii Itsuki was thinking about Chitose's happiness. Was it more due to her first visit to Tokyo, or was it because she loved herself in her heart?
Or did he agree to her request to possess him for one night?
After entering the hotel room, Chitose went to the bathroom, and Fujii Itsuki walked to the window, sat on a beach chair on the small platform extending outward from the hotel, and looked out at the city stars under the Tokyo night sky.

The night wind blows on my face, and it is a little cold.

While Fujii Ju felt his heart expand, he couldn't help but recall the excitement and happiness he had felt along the way with Chitose this afternoon.

What impressed him most was the look of stars in her eyes every time he bought her milk tea or snacks.

While making people feel happy, Chitose Yang Kui uses her enthusiasm, excitement, and vitality to pull him forward and visit every attraction.

Yes, very enthusiastic.

Enthusiasm may not be a big deal for ordinary young people, but for Fujii Itsuki, Chitose is like a beacon that can lead him into the future.

"Brother Tree!"

"Brother Tree!"

The girl always shouts like this enthusiastically and happily.

Her voice seemed to come from a distant snowy land, ethereal and dreamy.

Often when Fujii Itsuki was distracted, Chitose would take his hand and lead him forward.

This made Fujii Itsuki feel fond of her.

I will unconsciously have a feeling in my heart - "It turns out that I have such a sister who likes me and welcomes me in my hometown."

Fujii Itsuki now understood why he suddenly felt melancholy.

It's emptiness.

The emptiness that he both loved and hated in his life.

Fujii Itsuki still remembers a habit he had when he was in Tokyo.

That is, I would check almost every few minutes to see if there is any news for me.

Unfortunately, it's either advertising or news.

It's worthless and I have no desire to click into it.

After clicking on "Clear" and clearing away all the messages, Fujii Itsuki wondered if his phone was missing something. He couldn't help but wonder, among all the messages, was there not a single one about him?

At that time, he had already realized what he was missing - he longed for someone to chat with him and hoped to have someone to accompany him every day.

Although working in Tokyo means socializing and chatting with people every day.

However, the inherent barriers between people made it impossible for him to find a sense of reality in it.

For example, when students come to chat with him, they often ask some questions about their studies.

He basically gave mechanical answers, and received a mechanical "Thank you, Mr. Fujii."

This is not the joy of sharing at all.

Chitose is different.

Chitose would send him LINE messages every once in a while, and he would often smile knowingly after seeing them.

It’s not any important information, just some trivial daily stuff.

Brother Shu, when I got up this morning, I kicked the corner of the table and it hurts so much.

Brother Shu, I started school today and changed into a new uniform. It’s so cute!

Brother Shu, I accidentally made too much sushi today and wasted it. Mr. Nagano scolded me. I'm so sad.
Brother Shu, I have so much homework today. Ah~~ I don’t want to do it at all.

Chitose would often post beautiful photos she took while practicing her trumpet at the beach, and every time she would say to him with a cute "strong" emoji:

[Brother Shu! Today is the 896th day of my hard work in practicing my trumpet! I will continue to work hard tomorrow!]
Chitose is working hard on the trumpet in order to follow in his own footsteps, right?
Whether it is the scenery she photographed or the words she posted, Fujii Itsuki feels they are all very beautiful.

it's wired.
They are just some simple things, but I can enjoy watching them and can't help but comment on them carefully.

Does this mean that, to some extent, my heart is also leaning on Qiansui?
The night sky of Tokyo right now is prosperous and beautiful.

The city is busy, but Fujii Itsuki feels as if he cannot fit in with the hustle and bustle. It's like he's always been an outsider, drifting around with nowhere to rely on.

I feel a little empty for some reason.

This is probably a mental illness left over from working alone in Tokyo for too long.

Quite melancholy.

Fujii Itsuki lit a cigarette and puffed out the smoke skillfully.

Until a pair of arms suddenly wrapped around his neck.

"Hey, Brother Shu, do you still remember what you promised me on the subway just now?"

"I haven't forgotten. I'm all yours tonight. You can do whatever you want with Chitose."

"Wait a minute, Brother Shu, why are you smoking again?"

"I'm thinking about something," Fujii Itsuki put the half-smoked cigarette down at his feet and extinguished it, "Sorry, I don't want to smoke anymore."

"Thinking of something?"

Chitose Yangkui looked at the night sky facing Fujii Itsuki, then looked at the extinguished cigarette butt under Fujii Itsuki's feet, and realized something.

The girl's expression became calm, and she pulled a small stool to sit next to him. She propped her face with both hands and looked at the night view of Tokyo with him.

"Brother Shu, do you feel a little lonely?"

"is a bit."

The next second, Chitose Yang Kui fell on his shoulder, which made Fujii Itsuki's body stiff for a moment.

"In that case, let's play a game. Finger-guessing game!"

"Finger-guessing game?"

"Whoever loses takes off a piece of clothing until both of you are completely naked."

Fujii Itsuki couldn't help it, closed his eyes, and raised his hand to his right shoulder.

Gave her a slap on the head.

"It hurts!" The girl held her head with both hands, her voice sounding aggrieved.

"You still feel pain, and you're joking like that again."

"Anyway, Brother Shu has promised me that I can do whatever he wants tonight and we can both get naked. I think it's fair!"

Is the word fairness reflected in this aspect?

Yang Kui Chitose leaned on Fujii Itsuki's shoulder and closed her eyes:

"Brother Shu, are you a little reluctant?"

"Not willing? I can't really say. It's just that I'm a little confused about how I feel about you, Qiansui. If I were to say that I'm just a simple sister, when I think of the day you get married, I would wish you happiness, but at the same time, I would be reluctant to let you go."

Fujii Itsuki looked up at the night sky and thought about that day.

"When you get married, the Qiansui who used to follow me and hug my neck will be gone. She will become someone who loves others and have children she loves even more. When I think of this, I feel very reluctant to let her go."

In order to explore what kind of feelings he had for Chitose, this was the reason why Fujii Itsuki took her out to elope.

"This proves that Brother Shu still has feelings for me!"

After hearing this, Yang Kui Qiansui was very happy. She put her head on his legs and looked at him from bottom to top.

"Brother Shu, don't worry! In this life, I only love Brother Shu!" What a cute smile
Fujii Itsuki couldn't help but reach out to touch the girl's short hair, his fingers weaving through her smooth hair, "Chitose, you are still young and don't understand the weight of the word lifetime. In the future, you will meet someone who will treat you better than I do."

"Maybe, but what I can remember most is the first person who treated me well. And Brother Shu started to treat me well the day he was abandoned."

The girl's eyes shone with the moonlight, trembling, reflecting his appearance.

The girl felt that as long as she looked at him like this for a while, she would feel at peace.

"Qi Sui can completely understand Brother Shu. After all, Chi Sui and Brother Shu are both people who are not 'cared' for and abandoned."

"Is that so?"

"Didn't Brother Shu always like to look at the night sky? Staring blankly in melancholy is a sign of worry and loneliness. Brother Shu told me this!"

Perhaps because she was tired today, Chitose Yangkui closed her eyes and her voice became quiet.

"It is because of our past that Chitose said that we can't live without Brother Shu.
"Brother Shu, do you know? Every time Qiansui is sad, as long as I think about the feeling of Brother Shu touching my head beside me, my heart will be warm, and I will have motivation and energy for everything.

“In the seven years since Brother Shu left Otaru, I have always wanted to chase Brother Shu, even if it was just to follow him and secretly watch him.

"What Brother Shu Qiansui said is true. To Qiansui, Brother Shu is a one-of-a-kind person in the world."

Fujii Itsuki was moved when he heard this.

Qiansui's mental age is much older than her actual age.

What she said also carried more weight than what an average little girl said.

This is the maturity she gained from growing up in an orphanage.

"Chitose, you don't have to think so lowly of your feelings."

"No," Yang Kui Qiansui said decisively, and then smiled, "Brother Shu, Qiansui's feelings for Brother Shu are like this."

Fujii Itsuki lowered his head and looked at the girl sleeping on his knees. "What if I reject you outright because I'm embarrassed by your feelings?"

"Qian Sui will be sad for the rest of his life"

Yang Kui Qiansui was like a wilted flower, whispering, "But if Brother Shu gets embarrassed because of Qiansui, I will feel even more uncomfortable. Brother Shu is so good to me, how can I let Brother Shu get embarrassed?"

".So what will Chitose do?"

"Hide your love for Brother Shu for the rest of your life."

"lifetime?"

"Yes, it will be like this for the rest of my life. I will always be the cute and happy little sister in front of Brother Shu."

Fujii Itsuki felt even more distressed after hearing this, "I want to know what Chitose felt in that situation."

"She's very mad and miserable inside. She's probably going to cry every day. But it's okay! As long as Brother Shu comes to see her once in a while, she'll be able to smile right away!"

Chitose Yangkui opened her eyes, lay on his legs, and gave him another bright smile.

"Brother Shu is the first person who is kind to Qiansui! He is the first, so he will remain in Qiansui's heart forever!"

"."

Qiansui's words really touch people's hearts.

It was precisely because I had realized this a long time ago that I agreed to Chitose on the train and let her do whatever she wanted at night.

Even though he was constrained by her age and his dual identity towards her.

I am really cunning.

"Will Chitose think I'm a little cunning? I'll let you make the choice."

"How could that be? Brother Shu is already in a difficult situation! Brother Shu promised to give Qiansui a chance, Qiansui is so happy!"

".Thousand years old."

"Here he is!"

"I'm a little curious now. What will you do next?"

"of course--"

Fujii Itsuki smiled bitterly. Chitose's well-behaved smile was clearly saying one word -

Well, that pretty much goes without saying.

Fujii Itsuki knew her inner answer and persuaded himself to accept this choice.

After all, he was responding to Chitose's feelings seriously.

"Qiu Sui, after all, you have called me brother for so many years, doesn't it feel a bit weird?"

"What are you talking about, Brother Shu? I've liked Brother Shu for so many years!" Yang Kui Qiansui's expression seemed to be hiding something, "She must be taking this opportunity to possess Brother Shu!"

It's terrible, girls' possessiveness is really terrible.

Chitose no longer looks like Chitose, but like a yandere, and her smile looks weird and creepy.

However, Fujii Itsuki has tried to accept his fate.

Just confirm the relationship with Chitose.
Of course, not now or tomorrow.

At least until Chitose graduates.

Promising today to let Qiansui "do whatever he wants" is just to set a goal for the relationship between the two. This goal will make the relationship between the two move closer within these two years.

At least, two years later, Fujii Itsuki must learn not to treat Chitose the same way she does now.

"Brother Shu, it's time to take a bath."

"Well, let's go then."

"Chitose, why don't you come over?"

Yang Kui Chitose's cheeks turned red, "What are you thinking, Brother Shu! Of course I should wash myself!"

This girl, why is she still shy at this moment?
Fujii Itsuki took a shower first, then changed into simple clothes and sat down on the edge of the bed.

But no matter how he sat on the bed, he felt awkward.

Even though he already knew about it, the ambiguity of having a special relationship with Chitose still made him feel a little uncomfortable, so he chose to lie down on the sofa.

Maybe the girl took too long to take a bath, so he fell asleep on the sofa.

*
Five minutes later, Chitose Yang Aoi finished her bath, put on a white bathrobe, and walked out of the shower barefoot.

She looked towards the bed subconsciously with anticipation, but saw no one there.

Brother Tree slept on the sofa.

really
Chitose Yangkui bit her lip, subconsciously leaned against the wall, and then walked to Fujii Itsuki's side.

The girl bent down and stared at his sleeping face.

Suddenly I felt sad.

She suddenly felt like laughing again
In fact, we should have understood this long ago, right?

Brother Shu brought me to Tokyo not because he likes me, but because he just takes care of me.

It’s like this when you spend a night playing with yourself, and it’s like this when you promise yourself to “do whatever you want” on the tram.

It's just the guilt towards myself and the care towards myself.

Brother Shu even had plans to take care of himself for the rest of his life, leaving the choice up to him.

He planned to make things difficult for himself for the rest of his life.

Ah
How tragic, Chitose.
Although I am the closest to Brother Tree, I can never get into his heart.

To Brother Shu, you are the person he likes, but not the person he loves.

However, Brother Shu can bring you to Tokyo this time and also wants to take you to Kyoto. You should be satisfied, right?
Right?

"."

Chitose Yangkui raised her head and tried her best to control her expression.

She kept telling herself that there was a long way to go, and that sooner or later her brother Shu would truly fall in love with her.

There will be a day when you promise yourself from the bottom of your heart.

Only in this way can I be worthy of my pure and innocent feelings towards Brother Tree. Don't make mistakes again.

The girl raised her head, tried hard to hold back her tears, then she carried Fujii Itsuki on her back and gently placed her on the big bed.

Help him undress and cover him with a blanket.

Then, Yang Kui Chitose came to the sofa where Fujii Itsuki had just slept, lay down, curled up her body, and closed her eyes in the cold night.

It's so strange, it's so close, yet it seems so far away.
