Chapter 345 A Stillborn Love
The grocery store Fujii Miyuki mentioned was indeed quite a distance from their home, almost half a town away.
The two of them chatted every word about "going to Tokyo to study" along the way.
Sawayama Haruno didn’t know whether the other party was serious or just curious about schools in big cities. However, considering that they were neighbors and well known to their families, he still quite Patiently explained everything to the other party.
After walking like this for about twenty minutes, the grocery store finally appeared in a market street not far away under Fujii Miyuki's somewhat reluctant eyes.
"We're here." She said dully.
“Great, we are still open for business.”
Sawayama Haruno did not notice the disappointment in the girl’s tone. After seeing that the grocery store was still open, he relaxed Sigh down.
If he walked for a long time and found that the grocery store was not open, he would definitely be depressed to death. Fortunately, the result of this trip was good, and the twenty minutes of walking were not in vain.
As he was anxious to buy soy sauce and go home to make dinner for his mother, Haruno Sawayama quickly entered the grocery store. This was an older store, and the shelves with goods looked dim and gray. There are still a lot of rust stains scattered around the iron frame.
The floor even looks like an ordinary gray cement floor, almost like a standard country grocery store.
Fortunately, no matter how shabby it looks, it has everything that a general grocery store should have. After Haruno Sawayama told the middle-aged uncle who was looking after the store the purpose of his trip, he soon mentioned He came back with two bottles of soy sauce.
"How much does it cost together?"
Sawayama Haruno asked very politely.
A bottle of soy sauce is not valuable. After all, Fujii Miyuki accompanied him on a detour to buy things in the winter, so it is understandable that he should be blamed for it. What’s more, the two of them are close neighbors, and everyone in the family is We know each other, and as an older cousin, we naturally cannot ask the other party to pay.
"No, no need."
After noticing that Haruno Sawayama wanted to buy soy sauce for herself, Miyuki Fujii blurted out: "I can give it myself."
"It's just a bottle of soy sauce"
Sawayama Haruno wanted to say something else, but after seeing Fujii Miyuki's slightly stubborn eyes, he swallowed his words bitterly.
Is this what it means to be a girl’s reserve and self-esteem?
Then you'd better not do unnecessary things. At the worst, you can buy some fruit later and express your gratitude when you visit your family.
Considering the sensitive heart of a junior high school girl, Haruno Sawayama thought for a while and asked the boss to pay for the two bottles of soy sauce separately. However, after he took out the cash and paid for what he wanted to buy, he turned around and saw Fujii Miyuki looked a little embarrassed.
"It's over" Miyuki Fujii thought desperately.
Just now she was thinking that she couldn’t let Haruno Sawayama pay for her, but when she touched her pocket, she realized that she didn’t take her wallet out of the house at all. After all, when she promised Haruno Sawayama to lead the way to the grocery store, I didn't even bother to change my clothes and hurried out.
What should I do now? If I regret asking the other person to help me with the checkout, wouldn’t it make me look even stupider?
Fujii Miyuki was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack to get in.
“That, that.”
She looked at the shop owner hesitantly.
". Our store does not have a card swiping machine, so we can only accept cash."
The store owner said generally, while casting his eyes on Haruno Sawayama.
After a moment of silence, the latter took out his wallet silently.
“Thank you, thank you.”
Holding the soy sauce, Fujii Miyuki was so aggrieved that she almost cried.
The middle school girl has never felt so ashamed in her heart. She originally wanted to leave a good impression on the other person as much as possible, but in the end she was self-defeating and made herself look like a fool.
"It's okay. It's normal to forget to bring your wallet occasionally." Haruno Sawayama walked out and comforted him, "It's just a bottle of soy sauce anyway, don't take it to heart."
"I will pay you back," Fujii Miyuki said softly.
“You.”
Sawayama Haruno stopped for a moment. He turned back to look at Miyuki Fujii, whose face was red, and fell into deep thought.
"It's okay."
Sawayama Haruno showed a gentle smile and said leisurely: "You asked me so many questions just now. You also want to go to Tokyo to study. If you have the money, Please come to Tokyo to find me when the time comes.”
"."
Feeling the tenderness of the other party, Miyuki Fujii's originally tight body slowly relaxed.
She vaguely realized why so many elders and peers were obsessed with the name "Sawayama Haruno". He was indeed a person who could easily leave a deep impression.
Such thoughtful words made the little deer in this young and ignorant junior high school girl's heart start to jump crazily.
“I, I will work hard”
She responded to the other party's expectations a little shyly, completely unaware that her everlasting secret love was stillborn in the next second, because the next second, two girls who had to care about came from a distance. .
“Hey, brother, you came here.”
Not far away, Ayano’s only eye noticed Haruno Sawayama who had just walked out of the grocery store, and A young sister beside him.
She suddenly became curious and said: "What the hell? I thought you were lost."
"Yui, is there Suguha?"
Hearing the sound, Sawayama Haruno subconsciously looked up. After noticing the two people, he showed a somewhat surprised expression.
“Why did you two come out?”
“We ran out of soy sauce at home. Aunt Yazi saw that you hadn’t come back for so long, so she asked Xiao Wei to come out and help buy soy sauce.”
Ezaki Suguha patiently explained from the side: "I just stopped by for a walk, and I was thinking about calling you later to ask where you are."
Sawayama Haruno's trip has really taken too long, Zeshanya Zi thought to himself that it was just a matter of borrowing a bottle of soy sauce, why did it take so long?
She was afraid that Maki and others would be hungry after passing by, and the dinner prepared at home could not be delayed for too long, so she simply asked Ayano Yui, a person who was familiar with the town, to help her go out to run errands to buy soy sauce. She never expected that many people would be here. Touch it.
"The soy sauce has been bought."
Sawayama Haruno raised the bag in his hand to signal to the two of them, and then he realized and introduced Fujii Miyuki next to them.
"This is Miyuki Fujii, the one who lives next door. You should know her, right?"
"Yes, I do."
Ayano Yui looked a little uninterested. Of course she knew who the other party was. After all, Fujii Miyuki's mother had come to her house before and joked about booking a baby girl. Unfortunately, she was also present at the time, so she left a rather special impression on Fujii Miyuki.
Suguha Esaki on the side didn't feel much at all. Looking at Miyuki Fujii who was a little confused, she smiled and said: "Hello, my name is Suguha Esaki."
"Hello." Fujii Miyuki responded softly.
This is the first time she has seen such a tall and beautiful girl, and Ayano Yui next to her. She feels that she has changed a lot even after not seeing each other for more than half a year. Speaking of which, the other girl seems to be coming after the New Year. Are you studying in university in Tokyo
"Now that you have bought it, let's go back."
Ezaki Suguha took a few steps forward and took the bag from Haruno Sawayama's hand without thinking.
She noticed that there seemed to be traces of dust on the other person's collar. She reached out to stroke it away and helped tidy it up. The action seemed particularly intimate. Miyuki Fujii was stunned for a moment.
"Aunt Yazi is in a hurry to make dinner, and Maki seems a little hungry too."
"Really, let's go back, it will probably snow later."< br>
Haruno Sawayama subconsciously took Suguha Esaki's hand, and did not forget to turn around and greet Miyuki Fujii with a smile.
As if he had lost his soul, the latter followed a few people and walked back the way they came.
She had no intention of continuing to listen to what a few people were saying. Even if Ayano Yui talked to her, she would just muddle along in a confused manner. In such a distracted state, she naturally understood what was happening after Ayano Yui took a look at her. What.
Although she found it a bit funny, she felt a little sympathetic for no reason, so she stopped talking for the second half of the way, and the group walked silently towards home.
It wasn’t until she came back that Miyuki Fujii came back to her senses a little.
"Thank you for today, Fujii."
Sawayama Haruno looked sideways and wanted to say thank you a few times, but Miyuki Fujii said hastily "It's okay" and led her away. He entered the house first, leaving only a confused Sawayama Haruno standing outside with the other two girls.
“Did I say something that I shouldn’t have said?”
Sawayama Haruno looked at several people with some confusion.
Ezaki Suguha remained silent, but Ayano Yui on the side said first: "This is your problem, brother!"
".What's the question?"
Sawayama Haruno thought about his performance along the way, and felt that he didn't say anything very rude, and didn't he answer the questions the other party asked him well?
It’s unlikely that I accidentally made Fujii Miyuki unhappy.
“There’s nothing wrong with Haruno, let’s go home for dinner.”
Ezaki Suguha said calmly : "I feel a little hungry too."
"Really? Let's go back then."
Sawayama Haruno no longer thought about it, took a few people and went back.
It is indeed like what Ezaki Suguha said, it is not his problem, it is just another small misunderstanding. Who can explain such a thing like a secret love clearly? No wonder Haruno Sawayama’s attitude is to blame. Okay, must he show a bad attitude?
No one knows the answer, not even Miyuki Fujii, who ran home first.
The aunts and uncles in the living room had left long ago. Fujii Eina was busy in the kitchen. After hearing the news that her daughter was back, she poked her head out of the kitchen and said in surprise: "Where are you running? ”
"Nothing!"
Miyuki Fujii hurried upstairs and went straight to her room.
It wasn’t until she threw herself into the warm and comfortable bed that she realized that the bottle of soy sauce was still in her hand.
“What?”
Fujii Miyuki bit her lip.
The room was a little quiet, with only the sound of cooking coming from the kitchen downstairs, as normal as usual.
The sound of cooking and the complaints of Ako Sawayama kept coming from the kitchen.
"I asked you to borrow some soy sauce. It took me a long time to make it before I came back. Now I'm just starting to cook the shrimp. I don't know when it will be ready."
"The neighbor next door has no soy sauce either. "What can I do?"
Sawayama Haruno stood at the door of the kitchen and shrugged, "Do you need my help?"
"No, you go upstairs and see Maki." Ako Sawayama turned around and rolled her eyes at him, and said leisurely, "I can handle the kitchen affairs myself. You might as well go up and see how little Maki is doing. Yes, she seems to be on the phone with her family."
"Her."
Sawayama Haruno touched his chin and said casually: " You should be explaining your arrival in Osaka tomorrow, right?”
Maki Miyazawa’s parents will come one day later than them, and they are probably discussing when to arrive. The hotel has been reserved in advance. However, the restaurant where the two families ate out together had not yet made a reservation, and Haruno Sawayama would have to take the time to call to make arrangements later.
“Tomorrow”
Sawayama Ako didn't stop moving his hands, but suddenly sighed.
"I don't know why, but I suddenly feel a little nervous."
"I'm not nervous, why are you nervous?" Haruno Sawayama asked with a corner of his mouth.
"It's just because I saw you not nervous but I was extremely nervous that I felt angry." Ako Sawayama turned around and glared at him.
“Forget it, we’ll talk about Mingting’s matters tomorrow, but you still have to be prepared for your marriage to Maki. The house you live in is still rented, right?” asked Sawayama Ako road.
"Yes, but I plan to buy a house."
"Do you have enough money? If it doesn't work, your family can still support you partially." Ako Sawayama paused and said calmly, "Don't look at it I'm like your father, but in fact, the family still has some money set aside for your future life."
She has been saving money for this matter with Haruno Sawayama's father a long time ago. .
Ordinary islanders rarely do this. This is because even if parents want to transfer the house or transfer it to their children, they have to pay a huge transfer tax. However, the inability to transfer the house does not mean that the part cannot be assisted. Economically, it’s okay to at least use some money privately to buy a house and a car for the children.
Compared to ordinary families, the Zeshan family's economic conditions are actually quite wealthy. After all, their ancestors have been here for several generations, and she and her husband usually don't have much to spend money on.
Haruno is a child who is extremely worry-free. When he was studying in Tokyo, he rarely had to pay for things like living expenses, so when he saved a lot, he thought of using this opportunity to give it all to him.
But it is obvious that Haruno Sawayama has no idea in this regard.
After he was silent for a moment, he said casually: "Don't worry, you can keep that money and use it to travel with your father later. I have started to work after all. It's my turn to use the money to support you in your retirement." "
"Just take care of Maki, I'll follow you. Your father doesn’t need this yet.”
Sawayama Ako looked at him with some disgust, which made Sawayama Haruno very helpless. He thought that he should find a chance to confess his current situation to his parents. Their income is better, so that they don’t have to worry about themselves all the time.
