Chapter 341 The Promise to Go to Maple Leaf Avenue Together

The sky is still gray.

A faint light crept in through the cracks in the curtains, hitting the ceiling like a silent lake.

The heavy sleepiness had not yet completely dissipated. Tianhai Jiuliuli lay quietly on the feather bed in the hotel, staring above.

My ears listened to the sound of the sea breeze blowing the gauze curtains indoors. Those sounds were like bells during meditation, as if they were far away from the worldly world. Her nose gently breathed in the morning breath in the air, mixed with coolness and moisture, making people inadvertently feel the coldness of the morning on the seaside.

"."

The girl couldn't help but open her eyes again, and saw that the ceiling, which was like a calm lake, was filled with light spots under the slight movement of the gauze curtain, like an unfinished painting, and the painter named Nature was making one stroke. Give it color and life in an outline.

My eyes lingered on the ceiling, as if I was traveling in it, but I felt an endless sense of emptiness gradually invaded with the cold morning. This sense of emptiness makes people feel helpless, as if they are a speck of dust in the vast universe, drifting alone in the endless darkness.

His fingers unconsciously rubbed the quilt, feeling the contact between the white down quilt and his skin.

That kind of touch is gentle and kind, but it still seems unable to fill the emptiness deep in my heart.

It's like this every day when I wake up.

"Yesterday, Lejun must have been with Qiyue."

Every time I think about that scene in my mind, I can't help but wrap the white down quilt a little tighter around my body.

As soon as I close my eyes, I will think about what Lejun and Qiyue looked like when they were riding horses together that day.

Congestion, choking, and heaviness of mind.

"call"

Tianhai Jiuliuli closed her eyes involuntarily, and then took a few deep breaths to expel all the discomfort pent up in her heart.

Get up, wash up, wash your face.

After finishing the necessary things to get up every day, Tianhai Jiuliuli took a mirror for dressing up from his bag, and then sat quietly at the small desk next to the TV in the hotel.

She looked at herself in the mirror.

She has long hair like clouds, a delicate face, clear eyes, and slightly raised eyebrows. As a girl, she is beautiful without any trace of impurity.

Everyone seems to like this face.

I also prefer the dignified, beautiful and natural appearance under this face.

But the more she interacts with her classmates in daily life, the more she discovers that the version of herself that everyone likes is far from her true self.

[Everyone just likes Tianhai Jiuliuli who is independent and excellent and can handle everything properly]

Tianhai Jiuliuli came to this conclusion.

Although she has always wanted to lean into this image, to change, to truly become that person.

But she found that after persevering all the way, the road behind was empty.

And when she was deceived by her mother and was most confused and uneasy, someone stood up for her regardless of past suspicions, and she was very grateful and dependent on her.

She greatly valued this man's help and support and was grateful for his presence.

Because of this, she really couldn't bear to see Sakakibara and Qiyue having more contact.

I feel like I am the third person who has been abandoned again and excluded from the happiness between the two.

Obviously that person looks exactly like me and is her twin sister.

But happiness and the future, as well as the person who can always support me, don't seem to belong to me.

"."

Tianhai Jiuliuli doesn't know why he thinks about these things when he gets up every day. Maybe he is unwilling to do so? Or is there no real sense of security?

But she couldn't help but look at the movement of the lily of the valley bracelet on her wrist to tell her.

In fact, it's more of an emptiness.

"You haven't discussed today's time with Qi Qi yet, have you?"

Tianhai Jiuliuli murmured to himself in the mirror.

She doesn't like fighting with her sister for things, but if she doesn't fight, grab, or argue with her, she can only watch herself being thrown away and watch her sister enjoy happiness with the person she loves.

Tianhai Jiuliuli took several deep breaths in succession.

Trying to get rid of the uneasiness in his heart, he gave himself a beautiful smile in the mirror.

It's okay. You can definitely do it, Liuli.

Tianhai Jiuliuli thought this way, opened her suitcase, and picked out a very beautiful short-sleeved shirt. After dressing up carefully and braiding her flaxen hair into a princess braid, she stepped on the sky blue A fanny pack, grab your daily necessities and get ready to go out.

Click.

However, as soon as the bedroom door was closed, a greeting voice came from beside him.

"morning."

"Good morning," Tianhai Jiuliuli replied subconsciously. When he heard that the voice was too familiar, he quickly turned his head and was very surprised, "Lejun?"

"Huh?" Compared to Amami Kuruuri's surprise when she saw him, Sakakibara smiled in a normal way, "Why does Ruri look so incredible?"

".I just didn't expect Lejun to appear suddenly."

Tianhai Jiuliuli looked up at him, clasped his hands in front of him, and subconsciously asked, "Lejun is here to see me?"

"If I'm not looking for you, who am I looking for? It's not breakfast time. I'll come over to have breakfast with you."

"Lejun may also be looking for Qiyue."

"But obviously, I talked to you, and now I'm here to find you. It's very simple. I just want to have breakfast with you, Liuli."

Want to have breakfast together

Hearing him say this to herself, Tianhai Jiuliuli couldn't tell what it felt like in her heart.

Although it was very weak, she really felt needed in it, and he would take the initiative to care about her feelings.

In fact, after saying so much, it can only be said in one sentence——

He took the initiative to come to me instead of looking for Qi Qi to have breakfast, and he was very happy.

"What's wrong? Look at me like that."

"It's nothing," Tianhai Jiuliuli retracted his eyes and shook his head, "I'm just happy that Lejun can come over and invite me to have dinner together."

"Shouldn't I be the one to say this? I feel honored that a beautiful girl like Liuli would agree to my invitation."

After Raku Sakakibara finished speaking, he treated her as a gentleman, then extended his hand and said in an imitating British accent:

"Beautiful lady, may I invite you to have breakfast with me?"

"Certainly!" Tianhai Jiuliuli smiled and took his hand.

"Thank you." Sakakihara Raku could only feel that her hand was small and soft in his palm, and it felt like a pleasant cherished feeling that could be destroyed by just a little pinch.

"But Lejun's accent just now is not very similar."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. And compared to 'would you like to', 'would you care to' is more appropriate. The former is more common and used in daily life, while the latter is a more euphemistic and polite way of saying it, and is used for invitations in formal occasions. Sometimes we will be more humble and respectful to each other.”

"I see," Sakakibara held the girl's hand, as if he had learned something, and quickly said to the girl, "Ruri, don't you know more than me?"

"Where is it?"

Originally, Tianhai Jiuliuli was very happy that he praised her, but thinking about it carefully, Lejun. English is not bad, how can he not know the difference between daily language and formal language?

Not to mention that he deliberately imitated a gentleman and said it.

"Did you do it on purpose just now?" Tianhai Jiuliuli stood in front of him, raised his head and asked.

"No way." Sakakihara just smiled and scratched the back of the girl's hand with his thumb to reassure her.

"Okay, Lejun is teasing me on purpose!" Tianhai Jiuliuli saw it at a glance, pouted, broke away from his hand, and reached out to hit his arm.

Sakakihara Raku felt no pain at all when her fist was placed on her arm.

"No, Liuli, if you hit someone randomly, I'm going to bite you."

"I hate it. It's obviously Lejun who is teasing me on purpose."

"Didn't I praise Liuli that you are smarter than me? Why did I deliberately tease you?"

"Lejun himself clearly knew that he made mistakes and asked me to correct them. Wasn't he just teasing me on purpose?"

"But Liuli is happy, right?"

".How can I be happy?"

"Isn't it happy to be like this? Your mouth is pouting. Liuli likes to be praised, right?"

"snort."

"Okay, okay, stop hitting me. Besides, Liuli, you are so cute now."

"Lejun is such a gangster."

"Huh? Why am I a rogue?"

"Deliberately teasing people."

"Isn't teasing your girlfriend the basic thing for a boyfriend?"

"You still know that I am your girlfriend." Tianhai Jiuliuli's voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke.

Sakakibara could tell at a glance that she was jealous, and said sternly: "When I visited the Volcano Park, the first person I wanted to look for was Ruri, but I couldn't find you Ruri, and then I met July by chance."

"Really?" As he walked on the road, Tianhai Jiuli's sky-blue eyes looked at him.

"Didn't I just promise not to lie to you?"

"It's either that I don't believe Lejun, or that I feel more at ease if I get your own admission."

Liuli would always show her weak side around her at this time.

This is also a reflection of her insecurity.

When the two of them had just gotten back together, Liuli was rarely like this.

The fundamental reason is that Sakakibara concealed his relationship with Qiyue for a while.

When they arrived at the breakfast room, Sakakihara Raku went out of his way to help Ruri prepare food.

Knowing that she usually exercises a lot, I helped her choose some foods high in fiber and protein.

Whole wheat toast, milk, bacon. Pair it with some barbecued sausage.

Tianhai Jiuliuli was watching from behind as he helped him choose something to eat.

She didn't know if it was because she liked him, but now she felt unexpectedly warm when she saw his actions of helping her and asking what she wanted to eat.

Raku Sakakibara carried two plates of food and took Amami Kuriuri to a seat by the window in the hotel, facing the sea. Outside the floor-to-ceiling glass window was the view of the island.

After taking a seat, the conversation revolved around daily life, and there were also many interesting stories about local history and culture.

Sakakihara Raku saw the way Amami Kuruuri often covered her mouth and smiled during the chat, and understood that she really liked to communicate with him. She could also fully understand the interesting things he told her, and even made some complaints along the way. If so, she smiled again.

"Liu Li."

"Um?"

"Will the injury on your stomach always leave a scar?"

"Why did you suddenly say this?"

"When I see you smiling, I sometimes recall the way you were before, the way you shrank and hid under the water pipe when you got caught in the rain. Recalling these, I can't help but think about you, Liuli. You can smile so beautifully”

This topic is heavy.

But both of them understood that it would be impossible not to face it.

"It's not Mr. Guile." Tianhai Jiuliuli poked dozens of eyes into the omelette on the porcelain plate with a steel fork, and then spoke first.

"Well, it's my fault. To be honest, there's nothing I can do to make up for what you've lost during this period. Your belly would have been very nice, but now you still have such a scar."

"Lejun is saying that you don't want to make it up to me anymore?"

"No, why would you think so."

"That's right," Tianhai Jiuliuli sat up straight, like a girlfriend giving orders, "It's precisely because Lejun you can't make it up to me, so you have to keep making it up. If you can't make it up, don't make it up. , that’s what’s most dissatisfying.”

Her appearance was fleeting. She used a steel fork to scratch the toast crumbs on the plate, and whispered: "And I have also been sorry for you, Lejun. I will never forget this matter, so I I will always compensate you."

Raku Sakakihara looked at her actions like a little girl feeling depressed, and smiled: "How can there be anyone who would spend his whole life because of something like that?"

"Whether you believe it or not, Lejun, that's what I think."

"so."

"So," Amami Kuruuri took the words and looked at Sakakihara Raku who was directly opposite, "you must always compensate the other party."

"This is a confession."

"Well, this is a confession."

Sakakibara took a bite of breakfast and then smiled at the food on the plate.

It really felt a lot more comfortable to talk so openly.

There are conflicts between himself and Liuli, but they don't want to be separated from each other.

Sakakihara Raku knew that he liked Ruri. Not only did he like her for being generous outside, but he also liked her for being a sweetheart like a girlfriend in front of him.

"Liu Li, I want to ask about what happened before."

"What happened before?"

"That's what you wanted to give me in July."

"At that time," Tianhai Jiuliuli recalled seriously, "At that time, I really planned to stimulate Qiyue."

"Why?"

"If I don't do that, Qiyue will always be angry with you. Because Lejun, you forgot the agreement with her, and she has been angry. If Qiyue teases you too much, you will probably not be happy at all by then. I will like her. I still have high hopes from my mother, but in July she will lose her faith."

Sakakihara asked again: "Ruri, what do you think? How to deal with it."

"It's very simple. As long as I promise you, Lejun, she will face her heart in July. I can also gradually become distant from you, Lejun, in the following days, and because I will go abroad soon, once I leave , the distance will widen the feeling, and it will be natural for Qiyue and Lejun to break up."

"understood."

Sakakihara thought for a while, "If that's the case, why did you choose to break up with me directly? It's better to implement your plan above."

Tianhai Jiuliuli has always felt guilty about this matter and said hesitantly: "Mainly. Mainly because my mother said a lot to me. After she understood that I was dating Lejun, she asked me to break up and concentrate on studying. I was I also thought we should break up immediately. That’s fine, I’ll be a bad person and I’ll fade away in a year. As a result, my father stopped me again.”

After listening to it, Sakakihara understood more:

"Liuli, your fault is that you take many things too naturally. Breaking up is actually nothing to me. What's more important is that feelings cannot be pushed aside."

"I know I was wrong and I am willing to change it."

The atmosphere was a little heavy, and Sakakibara took the initiative to smile at her and said:

"So, in order to apologize now, Liuli didn't give up all of herself to me? I was cheated once, but to be loved by a beautiful girl for a lifetime, and she still feels guilty towards me, that's quite worth it."

"No way. Not just apologizing, but also really liking me. Lejun was very good to me before and had a lot of good impressions."

"So Liuli was so painful when she apologized? And she secretly cried alone."

"Um"

"Ruri." Sakakihara called her.

"do what?"

Tianhai Jiuliuli heard the sound and just raised his head, his lips were kissed briefly in surprise.

"You will be my wife from now on."

"."

Amami Kuruuri stared blankly at his close eyes for a second or two, and then hurriedly pushed Sakakibara Raku away who was leaning over.

Clenching her legs, looking down, her face was still a little red.

It took her a few seconds to adjust, and her voice was much quieter.

".What are you talking about?"

"That's not good. We all feel sorry for each other, so you make it up to me and be my wife, and I'll make it up to you and be your husband."

"Where can I get such compensation?"

"Don't Liuli want to marry me? As your wife, I will also love you very much. I can accompany you every day, help you cook, and occasionally play games and watch movies with you. If you want to run, I will run with you. I want to travel. Let’s go out on a motorcycle together and go wherever we want! No one can restrain us. When camping at night, I will lie on your body and call you by your nickname.”

"."

Each one has a longed-for picture, which he listed and described.

Tianhai Jiuliuli suddenly felt a strong expectation in her heart that as a wife, she would experience everything with the person she loved, and experience every bit of daily life.

Sometimes they fight with each other, sometimes they act coquettishly.

Support and love each other.

"Liu Li, haven't you wanted to visit Maple Leaf Avenue in England since you were a child? My aunt has never fulfilled her promise, but I can take you there. If you want, I promise to take you there. Take a look at the street In the coffee shop, take a look at the fountain surrounded by white pigeons, and take a look at the people sketching and playing the accordion under the avenue."

Hearing these words, Tianhai Jiuliuli was moved.

This is something my mother has always promised herself, but never realized.

It is also my biggest dream since childhood.

At this moment, she suddenly didn't want to think about anything. She just wanted to confirm with him and get a positive answer.

"real.?"

"Of course," Raku Sakakihara still had the same smile and the same answer, "Didn't you agree not to deceive the other party again?"

Tianhai Jiuliuli's throat rolled several times. She didn't know why. The atmosphere around her became a lot hotter.

She lowered her head, bit her lip subconsciously, looked at her legs with her hands clamped, and after a long silence, she murmured:

".If you lied to me, I would absolutely. Absolutely absolutely absolutely--"

"No need to be absolute, Liuli, I promise you, I will do it."

".real?"

"real."

"real?"

"Really, I won't lie to you."

"real.?"

"must."

"Then, it's agreed that you must, must, must take me to take a look."

"Okay, we agreed, I will definitely take you there."

"Pull the hook." Tianhai Jiuliuli stretched out his hand to him.

"Pull the hook." Sakakihara smiled and hooked it up with his little finger.

The two of them were above the dining table, their thumbs touching each other.
