Chapter 89 Cicada Mantis Yellow Bird
"Come to think of it, why did Brother Shu want to comfort Xinchun? I thought it was very strange when I came here."

"Matsumae and I live on the same street. We are neighbors. How can I not go and say hello? This is the key to harmonious neighborhood relations."

"Oh" Yang Kui Chitose didn't think about it.

Fujii Itsuki thought of what happened at Jiuhua's house just now and said, "But Jiuhua is not going. Chitose, is the relationship between Jiuhua and Matsumae not good?"

"Brother Tree asked me."

"Reluctant to answer?"

"It's not that I'm reluctant," Yang Kui Chitose muttered, with her hands behind her back, taking two steps and kicking her legs, "I don't know much about what happened between them, I just know that Jiuhua really hates Matsumae now."

Hate Matsumae?

correct.

Matsumae also asked me to ask about what happened between Jiuhua and her.

Fujii Ju felt ashamed and almost forgot about this matter with Matsumae!

She always called me "Teacher Fujii" and "Teacher Fujii" in a friendly and respectful way.

I'm really sorry for her.

"I think this is probably what happens after two people separate."

"After we separated?"

"Brother Shu, you see, they kept in touch with each other through letters for a while after they separated, but then it suddenly stopped. Something must have happened to Jiuhua."

"."

After listening to my sister's analysis, it makes sense.

It should be related to the changes in Kuka's family. As a result, the relationship between Kuka and Matsumae has become distant. But, doesn't Kuka hate him to the extent that he does?

There are still some doubts here.

Fujii Itsuki nodded and temporarily wrote down the key clue of "the accident in the Jiuhua family".

"besides--"

"Go ahead."

"Brother Shu, can you please stop talking about Jiuhua in front of me~"

"Huh? You and her aren't friends?"

"She and I had a fight! We are now enemies!"

Fujii Itsuki didn't care and patted her head, "Then let's make peace."

"No."

Seeing that his sister didn't listen to him, Fujii Itsuki patiently said to her:

"It's common to have quarrels, but it's not common to have friends. I don't have many friends. After a short quarrel, we will forget about it completely and even laugh and use it as a joke between the two of us."

"It's not that easy. I'm just worried that she will fall in love with Brother Shu!" Yang Kui Chitose said righteously.

Fujii Itsuki smiled: "And then?"

"Then Jiuhua will be sad, because...because Brother Shu has already chosen me."

Chitose Yang Kui shrank her head.

The short-haired girl standing by the roadside flower bed has a hint of the pure shyness of a young girl.

"If Jiuhua falls in love with Shu, but Shu likes me, Jiuhua will be the one who will be sad in the future! This is not good. I want Shu to move out of Jiuhua's house for this reason."

Although Yang Kui Chitose is very reluctant to admit
But she does have some of that in mind.

"Don't worry, Qiansui. Jiuhua is not you. How could you fall in love with an old man like me?"

"Why not!"

The fox certainly will!

Although there is nothing to be afraid of now, I can easily pin Xiao Jiuhua to the ground!
Of course, considering that she helped me cover up last time, I wouldn't do anything so drastic.

Fujii Itsuki shook his head: "She and I are fine as friends, but as boyfriend and girlfriend? You're overthinking it. She particularly dislikes my private life and my smoking."

The reliance that day was also that Jiuhua only regarded herself as a friend who could be relied on. Little girls always have misunderstandings about this kind of relationship.

Yang Kui Chitose: "I don't like you smoking, Brother Shu either."

"There is a fundamental difference. She hates it because she doesn't like the smell, but you, Chitose, hate it because smoking is harmful to my health."

Chitose Yang Kui wanted to say something else.

"OK OK."

Fujii Itsuki ruffled Chitose's hair again, bent down slightly, smiled at her face, and said, "I know Chitose will be jealous when she sees me talking to other girls, but I also have my own space, don't I?

"It's been two days since I took Chitose out to elope, right? Chitose, are you still not satisfied?"

"No! No!" Yang Kui Chitose said hurriedly, "I'm super happy, and I'm still happy now!"

"Then Chitose should try to control his emotions."

"Yes"

Brother Shu's gentle voice and soft smile made Yang Kui Chitose feel ashamed.

She has always wanted to possess her own brother Shu, but she doesn't want to make him unhappy or embarrassed.

Brother Tree always speaks to me so softly.

Every time Brother Shu smiled at her like this, Yang Kui Chitose really wanted to express to him "I love you", "I love you", "I love you".

I want to live with Brother Tree forever
I really hope that Brother Shu will pay attention to me
Of course, what’s even more shameful is that I’m actually being educated like a child in front of Brother Tree.

How could this allow me to become Brother Shu's wife in the future?

Let Brother Tree try to rely on himself?
Chitose Yangkui has never felt like she does now. She wants to grow up, become mature, and become more feminine.

"Well, I will try to control myself! Brother Shu."

"That's good. You're so good."

"Um. Brother Shu, don't say I'm good~"

Yang Kui Chitose pouted and stared at him with a competitive look, then turned to a weak expression, "I want to be the person that Brother Shu loves and can rely on! I only like Brother Shu, and I only want to be liked by Brother Shu."

Fujii Itsuki felt an inexplicable feeling of pity in his heart, so he couldn't help but smile.

"Then Chitose should work harder on himself."

"Um"

*
When visiting someone at home, it is natural to bring some gifts of comfort out of courtesy.

Fujii Itsuki chose the simplest thing - milk.

Qiansui is different, she needs to be more attentive.

Even though Songqian's new home was less than 100 meters away from Jiuhua's home on the same street, she insisted on secretly going around and taking the bus to the flower market.

Flowers are lush in the rainy season.

In the Otaru Flower Market, there are a wide variety of brightly colored flowers inside and outside.

"I just moved, and the house must smell bad, but flowers are different! They look good and smell good!"

Chitose did not choose the flowers at random.

What she chose was anemone, a rare flower that grows in the unique climate of Hokkaido.

Its petals are light silver and exude a light and elegant fragrance.

Because its flowers seem to be blown by the wind, it is also called wind flower.

A woman symbolizes purity, strength and indomitable spirit. She is a beautiful flower that can bloom even in adversity, and represents the hope and courage in the heart of a gentle woman.

This flower is often mentioned in professorial books as a metaphor for the female image.

Now there are a large number of them planted in the Matsumae family’s yard.

At that time, he asked the housekeeper Yongshan whether the young lady liked this kind of flower. He immediately replied that all the silver anemones in the courtyard were planted by the young lady.

Fujii Itsuki remembers that the professor also liked this flower very much.
"Brother Tree? Brother Tree!"

Fujii Itsuki came back to his senses from the professor's gentle and elegant image. He then noticed that when the flower shop owner was packing lilies, Chitose gave him a rose.

He took it with a smile: "Why give me a rose?"

"Brother Shu knows it clearly~"

After answering with a smile, Yang Kui Chitose ran away to the flower shop to pay the bill.

This kid.
Fujii Itsuki took the small rose given to him by the girl, looked at it carefully, and felt a little happy in his heart.

Have you ever been given flowers by a girl?
The last time a girl gave me flowers was when Akai gave them to me in high school, right?

The first time I received flowers, I was so happy that I kept wanting to share it with someone.

He remembers the people he shared it with.

Wait, it seems to be Chitose?

Fujii Itsuki's smile faded.

No wonder. No wonder Qiansui did that little thing some time ago.

Showing off the flowers given by Akai in front of Chitose, isn't this equivalent to Akai provoking her in person?
"I have taken your tree brother away! From now on, everything belongs to me!"

——Young Chitose would definitely think so and then cry out of anger.

Fujii Itsuki couldn't help but smile. He didn't expect that he was already so cared about at that time.
Came to the new home in Matsumae with gifts.

Surprisingly, it was not a big mansion or a luxurious villa, but just an ordinary single-family house.

The Maybach S680 that Butler Yongshan usually drives was parked outside.

After ringing the doorbell, it was Matsumae Shinchun who opened the door.

A blue shirt with a doll collar, a dark grey vest, and a khaki A-line skirt with a brown belt in the middle.

Very fashionable outfit.

She has the demeanor of a modern lady. "Chitose? Teacher Fujii? What are you doing?"

"Kokoroharu-chan~~!"

As soon as Matsumae Shinharu opened the door, Yang Kui Chitose rushed over and hugged her neck.

Matsumae Shinchun was startled by her and took a few seconds to react. She patted her back and signaled her to relax.

"Chitose, you are too enthusiastic. Fujii, Fujii-sensei is still in front of us."

"Hehe~"

Yang Kui Chitose let go of her neck, held her hands, and said happily, "Sorry! I came a little late today. These are the flowers for Xinchun. Consider them my congratulatory gifts for you after you moved in~"

"Silver Snow Lotus?"

"Yes."

Matsumae Shinchun took the silver snow lotus given by her friend in a daze, and put her nose close to it to sniff it.

“It smells so good.”

"Right, right! I personally picked this out from hundreds of flowers! It's a special gift for Xinchun-chan!"

Seeing the silver snow lotus in her arms, Songqian Xinchun felt nostalgic, as if she could see the vague figure of her mother among the flowers in the past.

The girl felt a little sad, she really liked this gift.

"Thank you, Chitose."

"No, no, what's the relationship between us~~"

Even though Chitose said this, Matsumae Shinchun still held the flowers and gave her a formal thank you gesture.

Then she turned her gaze to Fujii Itsuki behind Chitose Yangkui.

"Chitose-chan, is this the Fujii-sensei you met on the road?"

".?"

Fujii Itsuki thought in surprise: Doesn't Matsumae know the relationship between himself and Chitose?

"Not really."

At this time, Yang Kui Chitose pulled Fujii Itsuki and introduced him to Matsumae Shinharu:

“Xinchun-chan! Let me formally introduce you to the most important person in my life! My beloved brother—Brother Shu!”

".?" Matsumae Shinchun was stunned, "No, that's not possible."

"That's it, that's it!" Yang Kui Chitose nodded proudly, "Remember what I said before? Teacher Fujii and I have a close relationship in private."

"I remember. I just thought Chitose knew Fujii-sensei in the past."

"It was in the past, but we have known each other for a long, long time. Of course, he is now our common Fujii teacher~"

Fujii Itsuki sighed and tapped his sister's head. "I told you, don't call me teacher in private. You and I are so close, and I find it weird that you call me teacher."

"Okay." Yang Kui Chitose held her forehead, looking aggrieved.

Fujii Itsuki also handed over his milk, and said to the surprised Matsumae Shinchun:
"It's a small gift, a gift from the neighbors."

Matsumae Shinchun reacted and bowed gracefully, "Then I'll obey your command. Thank you, Mr. Fujii."

At this time, Sakura Nagayama walked out of the room.

He first bowed politely to Fujii and Chitose, and then said to Matsumae Shinchun: "The things have been sorted out, and Lady Baihua's bedroom is also ready. Does the young lady have any other instructions?"

"Sorry to bother you, Uncle Ying."

Seeing that Matsumae Shinchun was so polite and gentle to a servant like her, Nagayama Sakura couldn't help but say:
"Miss, you live here, and the master will always miss you."

Matsumae Shinchun looked sad for some reason, "I understand."

"Miss, you are living here alone this time. I am really worried about you. Please take good care of yourself. If anything happens, please let me know."

Butler Yongshan was probably really worried about his young lady. After he finished speaking, he placed his white-gloved right hand on his abdomen, bent over, and said to Fujii Itsuki:
"The young lady grew up in the Matsumae family. She knows very little about the outside world and has always been kind to others. But we must be on guard against others. I also ask Mr. Fujii to take good care of the young lady. The Matsumae family is extremely grateful to you!"

The etiquette of a large family still makes Fujii Itsuki, a modern man, feel a little awkward.

But respect and courtesy cannot be lacking because of these feelings.

Fujii Juya said seriously: "Matsumae is my student, of course."

Nagayama Sakura bowed again, and then said to Yang Kui Chitose, "Please take care of her."

Chitose, who grew up in an orphanage, had never seen a proper housekeeper.

He immediately agreed and promised to take good care of Matsumae Shinchun.

Then, Sakura Nagayama drove away.

The three of them watched him leave.

Yang Kui Chitose poked her head out and stared at the place where the Maybach disappeared: "It seems that this old man really cares about you, Xinchun-chan."

Matsumae Shinchun answered softly, "Sakura-no-bo is the one who has watched me grow up, and he is also the person I interact with the most."

"Kokoharu-chan usually stays at the Matsumae household. Are you bored?"

"Yes. Although it is disrespectful to Shiraha-sama (the Jade Fox God of Matsumae Shrine) to say this, I don't want to go against my heart. Whether it is the etiquette at home or the tedious things of all sizes in the shrine, they are all boring."

After that, a fox with crystal-clear fur, like condensed snow, slowly emerged from the corner of the room. Its figure was as light as the wind, and it jumped onto Matsumae Shinchun's shoulder.

Its furry paws moved on the girl's shoulder, and its brown eyes, sharp yet gentle, stared quietly at the two people in front of it.

"White, white fox?!"

Yang Kui Qiansui was stunned. How could there be a real fox?

Matsumae Shinchun looked embarrassed and reached out to touch the snow fox. The snow fox placed its paw on the girl's hand, "This is Shiraha, the current guardian deity of Matsumae Shrine."

"Bai Baihua?"

The snow fox seemed to hear someone calling its name. It barked, yawned, and showed its canine teeth.

"Matsumae Shrine has always kept a snow fox as its guardian deity. I am the chief priestess of Matsumae Shrine. According to tradition, the guardian deity cannot be separated from me too far."

"Can I touch it?"

"That depends on Master Baihua's opinion."

Yang Kui Chitose stretched out her hand, and the snow fox on the girl's shoulder just glanced at the other party's outstretched hand, accepted the gesture of being touched, and rubbed the other party's palm instead.

Good. So cute.
"Lord Baihua likes Chitose quite a lot."

"really?"

The white fox barked again.

"Master Bai Hua said that a thousand years of life is a blessing and a noble one."

Yang Kui Chitose felt embarrassed.

Fujii Itsuki just thought that this white fox was so beautiful, with short and round earlobes, short legs, short and thick ears, a big tail, and good fur color.

Unexpectedly, Fujii Itsuki just took a look at the fox, and it jumped off Matsumae Shinchun's shoulder and circled around Fujii Itsuki.

Then, she crawled directly and jumped onto his shoulders.

Use the standard universal sitting posture for canines and continue yawning.

Fujii Itsuki: “This”

Matsumae Shinchun was equally surprised.

Baihua was raised by her since childhood. Although he was usually placed in the shrine for worship, he was undoubtedly the one closest to her.

It is the Tamasko-sama currently enshrined at Matsumae Shrine.

He is also my elder.

It must be spiritual.

What does this phenomenon indicate?

Matsumae Shinharu's face flushed slightly and she didn't dare to think any further as it would be very disrespectful to Teacher Fujii.

Yang Kui Qiansui found it a little strange. The white fox jumped onto Brother Tree's shoulder all of a sudden. Doesn't that mean that Brother Tree is liked by the fox?

What a strange feeling
A little unhappy.

"This is probably because Master Baihua also likes Master Fujii very much."

Matsumae Shinchun quickly skipped over this topic and turned to Fujii Itsuki:
"But I didn't expect that Mr. Fujii is Chitose's brother."

"Chitose should have told you something about us, right?" Fujii Itsuki felt his shoulders were heavy. This fox was too fat.

"Yes," Matsumae Shinchun nodded gracefully, stretched out her hand to take the white fox in her arms, and stroked its fur, "Chitose said that there was a brother who picked her up, and she had a good relationship with this brother. Now, I didn't expect it to be Mr. Fujii. It's also my stupidity that I didn't remember Mr. Fujii's past."

The girl felt secretly happy.

She came here for three reasons: first, to go to school, second, for Jiuhua, and third, and most importantly, for Teacher Fujii.

Chitose Haruki, her best friend, happens to be Sensei Fujii's sister, which will undoubtedly deepen the relationship between her and her teacher.

In the future, I will definitely be able to have more contact with Mr. Fujii, right?
When she thought of this, Matsumae Shinchun's little heart couldn't help but be overwhelmed.

Oh, that's so rude.
The white fox barked at the same time, and Matsumae Shinchun put the white fox on his shoulder.

"Please come in, my humble abode may be humble, but we are guests. I am willing to serve you as a host."

Although Yang Kui Chitose always felt that the white fox was weird, she was still very happy that her good friend had moved closer and she could play with her often.

"Okay, okay! It's almost noon, let's cook a meal together! Brother Shu will come too! It's Xinchun-chan. I'm not used to you talking like this~"

"I'm sorry if this bothers you, Chitose."

"That's not what I meant."

"I know."

Matsumae Shinchun closed her eyes slightly and smiled softly at her. The small teardrop mole under the right corner of her eye showed the elegance and charm of a lady from a noble family.

At this time, the white fox standing on the girl's shoulder was also staring at Fujii Itsuki in the opposite direction.
