About the fact that I unintentionally raised my sister to be a cripple

In order to seriously prepare for the morning run after his recovery, Sakakibara changed into a pair of cool shorts and sportswear, got a handsome hairstyle, and put on the new sports shoes that Amami Kuruuri had bought for himself.

Before going out to pack up and go out, he also used the [divination card box] to measure his travel fortune.

——It is the image of a goddess with a halo on her head, holding a scepter, and a holy face.

There was no writing on the card, but Sakakihara turned over the [Instruction Manual] again.

I found that Article 16 of the accompanying notes states: [Both sides of good and evil karma represent its original intention]

The meaning of the goddess card is: good luck will happen within three days.

Even the divination card box said that he would have good luck, which made Sakakibara feel more comfortable.

In addition, he firmly believes that the so-called [daily system] is only an auxiliary.

Life is your own. If you want to continue on while enjoying the beauty in this world, you have to rely on your own subjective consciousness and behavior.

Walk out of the apartment building and walk around the small activity area downstairs.

The rising sun peeks out between the clouds, and seabirds fly high in the blue sky.

The dense leaves cast layers of rhythmic shadows, and with the arrival of the wind, people can't help but lift their lungs and take a deep breath of the cold morning air.

Even when she was out for a morning jog, there were many old ladies who greeted Tianhai Jiuliuli kindly.

Whenever he walks out of the apartment, Raku Sakakibara will sigh, can such a place exist in Tokyo, which is seriously polluted?

You must know that when I lived in Shinjuku more than ten years ago, every day when I went out, I could see the beautiful scenery hovering in the sky due to car exhaust pollution - "Ring Yakumo".

It's ironic that pollution can create beautiful scenery.

"I have never seen my brother wear it before."

Walk out of the promenade downstairs and into the street. Tianhai Jiuliuli winked at him

"You mean shoes?"

"Yeah." Looking at him, Tianhai Jiuliuli smiled sweetly.

She stopped beside her, her shiny hair falling naturally, and her snow-white neck as attractive as a clear spring in the forest. There was always a faint fragrance all over her body.

"I believe in making the best use of everything. Besides, there is always a point of not wanting to wear good-looking shoes."

What matters is this latter point.

Of course, what's more important is that the shoes on his feet are a gift from Jiuliuli to him.

"And the shoes are too expensive and not comfortable to wear."

"Pfft."

Surprisingly, Tianhai Jiuliuli happily covered her mouth and laughed, a reserved and cute girlish smile.

"Sorry, sorry, because this is the first time I heard someone say this. I feel uneasy because things are too expensive. My brother is really frugal, but there is no need to be too frugal in the future. With sufficient financial support, it is right to be good to yourself. s Choice."

"Is this what Jiu Liuli thinks?"

"Well, if my brother's clothes are worn out, I will buy him a new set of clothes even if he doesn't tell me."

These words were so gentle that it was hard to accept them for a while.

This made Sakakihara couldn't help but think, why is she so kind to him?

Qi Mingyue and A Ling were not as straightforward as Jiu Liuli in expressing the tenderness in their hearts.

"Still following the previous route?"

"right."

So the previous route was to start from Shirogane Takanawa, run to the coastal path, pass [Keio University] and [Mita Station], go through [Shiba Park] to Tokyo Tower, and then turn back all the way.

Tianhai Jiuliuli neatly bent her long flaxen hair into a ponytail.

Compared with her usual self, she is less agile and cute, and more crisp and neat.

Oh, what a secret love.

The so-called secret love is the feeling that when you think about meeting the other person and what the other person looks like, you can keep rolling on the bed holding the pillow, and your aunt can't stop laughing.

Although Sakakihara Raku is not that exaggerated, when he is alone with Jiuriuri, the vitality of a young girl will still inadvertently infect him.

I originally wanted to talk about love and relax after the monthly test, but now my thoughts are all about Jiuliuli, how can we continue to talk about it? !

And this is "forbidden love".

It is an existence that will never be allowed.

If Uncle Tianhai knew that he liked her daughter, wouldn't he be sued by his Asuka Firm?

In order to prevent this from happening in the future, you must suppress your thoughts from the source.

While doing stretching exercises before running, Sakakibara kept chanting silently in his mind, trying to give himself a psychological suggestion.

Jiuliuli doesn’t look good.

Jiuliuli doesn’t look good.

Jiuliuli doesn’t look good

Jiuliuli doesn’t——

Tianhai Jiuliuli tied up her hair with a hair tie, crossed her fingers with her hands, and stretched her waist upwards. A figure with nothing to be picky about was presented in front of her eyes.

She exhaled, turned around and smiled at Sakakibara: "Brother, are you ready?"

Jiuliuli is really beautiful!

If possible, Sakakibara would be willing to pinch his own mouth, force his eyes to Tianhai Jiuri's face, point at that angelic face, and angrily scold him:

Open your eyes and take a good look! Such an angelic face! This perfect girl! And she is still calling you brother affectionately, how dare you say that she is not good-looking? !

Sakakihara Raku's heart was turbulent, but his expression remained unchanged as much as possible.

"Of course, but Jiuliuli, don't run too fast. An average pace of 4 minutes is fine."

Average pace refers to the average time spent per kilometer.

"Brother, please don't run too fast. Not long ago, I felt that my brother's physical fitness has improved a lot. Do you have any tips?"

The trick?

Sakakihara laughed dumbly.

It's a pure buff bonus.

"I understand, it's just practice for a long time, right?"

"Well, that's pretty much what it means."

"Let me take the lead this time. My brother can follow behind or follow my pace. You don't have to run too fast."

Sakakihara Raku had no objection.

Together they came to the coast outside Shirokane Takanawa Station. Raku Sakakibara and Kururi Amami ran side by side, running through the early morning and salty air. The sound of waves hitting the embankment rippled along with the chirping of birds.

Unlike running alone in the past, there was a beautiful girl following closely beside me. Listening to her steady pace and breathing, the solid road under my feet seemed to turn into a beacon guiding the way forward.

With his hair flying in the wind, Raku Sakakibara felt for the first time in a long time how relaxing running is.

As the body gradually heats up. Sakakibara can feel it and feels it intimately. His body is fully enjoying the sport of running, enjoying the excitement and happiness in the whistling breeze.

After 5.5 kilometers, the red and white Tokyo Tower not far away is already in front of you.

Sakakibara stopped walking.

With 8 points of physical strength, he sweated a lot less than Tianhai Jiuliuli.

She came to a drinking fountain, turned the switch, and leaned over to drink water.

"When did Jiuliuli start running?"

"It was also very early, but much later than my brother. I kept running for about six years."

"What about the goal? People who have been running for a long time must have a goal and obsession in their hearts, which is the so-called why they run."

When Tianhai Jiuliuli heard this, she was stunned for a long time. She turned off the switch at the drinking water place and raised her sunny face.

She did not answer immediately, but looked past the rose bushes and lush trees in Shiba Park and looked at the Tokyo Tower not far away.

"It should be for self-discipline - to maintain a more sunny and positive attitude."

Tianhai Jiuliuli looked at the big tree with lush branches in the middle of the park, and then said.

"When we were young, my father always had to teach Qi Mingyue and I to learn many things, knowledge, skills, and art. We had no toys, no TV, and few classmates who could really play together. It was always like this before junior high school. .”

"Uncle Tianhai is so strict? Isn't this a kind of restriction?"

"Dad is strict with himself and at the same time he is strict with us. My brother knows about dad's experience before working, right?"

"I know, a master's student who graduated from Dongda University."

"That was probably Aunt Sakakibara or Nanami Mingzuki who told my brother about it. I can't remember the first thing clearly, but from the day I can remember it, I can see my father sitting in the study room studying all day long. Look. I clearly remember that from kindergarten to elementary school, my father’s identity changed from a newly graduated college student to a well-known first lawyer in the industry, which continues to this day.

"Qi Mingyue and I have high hopes from our father. He hopes that we will become better people than our mother. We have learned piano, violin, and dance as long as there is knowledge about art and culture.

"Time is tightly scheduled every day, and I often can only look out the window in a daze."

Tianhai Jiuliuli's expression was normal, but he didn't seem to want to recall this time.

"In addition, when we were young, the only place Qi Mingyue and I liked to go most, apart from the park outside, was my father's study.

"I remember there were a lot of books on it. Whenever my father saw me and Qi Mingyue coming in to look for him, he would stop what he was doing, then reach out to the bookshelf to pick two books for Qi Mingyue and me to read. That was the only thing we could usually read. Time to relax.”

"But you are so harsh, Qi Mingyue and Jiu Liuli, it seems that you have never disliked Uncle Tianhai?"

Sakakihara Raku was thinking while asking.

Perhaps Jiuliuli's insistence on running is not simply "for a more sunny and positive attitude" in it.

But there is a deeper reason

This represented exactly what she was thinking deep down.

"No," Tianhai Jiuliuli shook his head, "Dad was a little strict with us when we were young, but now Qi Mingyue and I have benefited from his strictness. And he has relaxed a lot since he was in junior high school. On the one hand, Qi Mingyue and I have benefited from his strictness. It’s because we’ve grown up, and on the other hand, it’s probably because the divorce from his mother a few years ago made him very tired.”

Yes, the divorce is very harmful to both sisters Jiuliuli and Qi Mingyue.

Not only was Jiu Liuli's expression now, even when Qi Mingyue talked about her mother, she looked like she didn't want to talk.

Sakakibara couldn't help but think about what the divorce of their parents meant to the two sisters.

Is it family?

The other half that was torn apart?

So, what they want is a complete family?

According to this logic, it seems that the two sisters are not so resistant to this combined family. It seems completely reasonable!

Well, yes.

Absolutely!

Sakakihara Raku felt like he had entered the door to a new world.

"Jiu Liuli, what do you think of your new home?"

"very good."

Amami Kuruuri replied without hesitation, "Whether it's my brother, Suzu-chan, or Aunt Sakakibara, we are all very good people. Although we may only get together to eat together once in three days, it is more important than before." , it has gotten much better

"My home has a very homely atmosphere, especially when I see you, brother, busy in the kitchen, serving us the dishes yourself, and serving the meals yourself. I often think, does it matter if you are so happy?"

Sakakihara smiled happily and said, "What's so happy about this?"

"No, being able to eat fresh and delicious food made at home every day is happiness."

Tianhai Jiuliuli was surprisingly straightforward in this regard.

Sakakihara Raku even noticed the gratitude to him in her eyes.

This can't help but make Sakakibara a little flattered. After all, for more than ten years, except for his mother who would nag you a few words when giving him money, there was really nothing that made him so grateful for cooking for himself.

More than ten years

In addition, she took great care of herself yesterday.

The tenderness that poured out of her form.

It feels like falling into a utopia in a dream.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise.

Finally, with a little sweetness in his heart, Sakakihara smiled helplessly and bitterly, and said softly:

"Thanks."

"It's Jiuliuli who wants to thank brother!"

Sakakihara laughed again and did not look at her, but he could already think of the bright smile she showed to him next to him.

The kind of innocent, beautiful and beautiful youth of a girl.

Sakakibara breathed a sigh of relief.

Since what Jiuliuli is looking for in herself is the warmth of her family, then she should continue to work hard to respond to her expectations!

After all, this is what I do best.

Having more contact with Jiuriuri and wanting to know her better is Sakakihara Raku's current expectation.

Sakakibara passed by the rose bushes, looked at Tokyo Tower, and was about to call Jiu Liuli to run home.

"Sakakibara-kun!"

Suddenly a girl from behind shouted to him and waved.

When Sakakihara turned around following the voice, Xiang Qianyu had already trotted along the stone path in front of him,

She was dressed in simple casual everyday clothes, her face was full of vitality, she put her left hand on top, stood on tiptoes, and said hello with a smile:

"Sakakibara-kun and Amami-san, what a coincidence, you are also coming to Shiba Park for a walk? Hmm~ But judging from the clothes, it looks more like a morning jog."

Miss Xiang from the bridal shop.

Sakakibara recognized him immediately.

No, she must have mistaken Jiu Liuli for Qi Mingyue!

Sakakibara was a little anxious. Apart from him and Qi Mingyue, only his mother knew about the wedding dress shoot. If Miss Xiang accidentally let this slip,

"Towards--"

"Ah! That's right!" Xiang Qianyu said as he took out his mobile phone, "We have put the wedding photos of Sakakihara-kun and Miss Tianhai at the location you agreed on yesterday. You can check them at any time. Uncle, in order to thank you , and put another 100,000 yen in it."

Sakakibara suppressed what he was about to say.

Okay, it's done.

Tianhai Jiuliuli listened to Xiang Qianyu's familiar introduction with a confused look on his face.

He looked at Sakakibara Raku and then at her:

"Wedding photos?"

"Yes! Speaking of wedding photos, Miss Tianhai, you are really, really, really photogenic! When you put on your wedding dress, every step, every posture, and that look in your eyes are simply indescribable! It's amazing!"

Tianhai Jiuliuli turned around, glanced at Sakakihara Le, who was looking away and was alone in embarrassment, smiled at Xiang Qianyu and said, "Can you show me the photo?"

"Photos? Ah~~ I still have them in my phone. Miss Tianhai must not have gotten the wedding photos to enjoy yet, right? No problem, then I will show you first. I happen to have them saved in my phone. Let me take a look."

Tianhai Jiuliuli put his head next to the mobile phone held by Xiang Qianyu and began to look at the so-called "wedding photos" one by one.

The first photo shows Sakakihara Raku and "himself" standing on the lawn, holding each other's waists.

Tianhai Jiuliuli smiled beautifully.

Xiang Qianyu smiled and asked, "What do you think, Miss Tianhai?"

Tianhai Jiuliuli didn't poke it directly, but nodded and said curiously: "Well, it's quite good. Can you let me see a few more pictures?"

"No problem, no problem, here's another one."

Time passed little by little.

Tianhai Jiuliuli read every photo after Xiang Qianyu's introduction. Xiang Qianyu also didn't recognize Jiu Liuli's identity at all, and only thought she was Qi Mingyue.

"Eh? What's wrong, Sakakibara-kun? Why don't you come over and take a look?"

"No, I can just go back and look at the photos." Raku Sakakihara, standing on the other side with only his back, said.

Xiang Qianyu had no doubt that he was there, and after exchanging greetings with Jiu Liuli for a while, he nodded goodbye.

"Why do you feel that Miss Tianhai is much easier to talk to than last time?"

As Xiang Qianyu walked in the other direction, she held her chin and thought for a while. Her brows furrowed deeper and deeper until they finally relaxed.

"Oh, why are you thinking so much! Go back to your uncle for some pocket money to buy clothes!"

After leaving to the eldest lady.

Sakakihara Raku was very embarrassed and found it difficult to face the gentle gaze of Amami Kuruuri.

"So, my brother and Qi Mingyue took wedding photos together without telling the family?"

"Yes, but this is not my request. I saw the wedding dress and couldn't keep my eyesight on the day of Qi Mingyue. I was simply dragged into being a tool."

Tianhai Jiuliuli covered her chest as if joking.

"Of course I know this, it seems like something Qi Mingyue can do."

"Aren't you surprised Jiuliuli?"

"I'm surprised. It's a wedding photo after all. It's just unexpected and reasonable."

"Why?"

"Because of her mother, Qi Mingyue has been fond of wedding dresses since she was a child. She said to me more than once, 'Sister, let's take wedding photos together'; 'Sister, have you considered going out with Qi Mingyue to take wedding photos today?' .”

Tianhai Jiuliuli imitated her sister's indifferent tone.

"I didn't agree to her because it was too strange to go to take wedding photos with my sister, both of whom are girls. Since she can't find me, she will definitely find someone of the same age who is close to her. My brother is obviously The best candidate. Brother, don’t use that expression, and I don’t blame you.”

Jiuliuli's explanation is not complete.

According to Qi Mingyue's character, she would definitely take wedding photos alone without anyone accompanying her.

He came to me just to tease the little devil.

"But this matter was hidden from you, which is very serious in fact."

"Those photos just now are considered artistic photos, right? Since we are not actually married, they are just some photos. Brother, don't worry about it."

"Jiu Liuli, just accept it?!"

"I accept it. But I will definitely tell Qimingyue a good talk when I get back."

"Haha, let's say goodbye. She's going to say that I secretly told my sister and then ignored me."

"Again? Anything else?"

"It's nothing, just some small things."

Tianhai Jiuliuli is not only gentle, but also very open-minded.

This made Sakakihara Raku feel somewhat in a trance when facing her smiling face, with a sense of unreality.

But the fact is - she is indeed in front of him.

I can feel her breath and the fragrance.

However, after what she said just now.

Sakakihara Raku also understood that she was not completely real at the moment.

Jiuliuli must be using her gentleness to hide what she needs in her heart.

——————

After that, the two ran home together.

The first thing he did when he got home after exercising was to take a shower. Sakakihara let Jiu Liuli go to the bathroom first, and he waited for her in the living room before going in.

Sakakibara Suzu was still lying on the sofa playing with her mobile phone. In her lazy state, she didn't look like a girl at all - she was wearing the extremely big shirt that Sakakibara Suzu was forced to give her.

The buttons were tied haphazardly, and as she raised her hands, her pink belly button would occasionally be exposed in the gap between the buttons. With her breathing, her snow-white skin would rise and fall regularly.

In order to make room for Sakakibara Raku, she raised her feet and placed them on Sakakibara Raku's legs when he sat down.

Raku Sakakihara stared at the smelly feet on his legs with an indifferent expression, and spoke without emotion:

"foot."

"Oh~ I won't die if you let me go." Sakakihara Suzu was engrossed in watching the TV and waved her hand lazily, not even looking at him, but still took it back.

"Brother."

"Qi Mingyue?"

"Well, brother, come with me." Tianhai Qi Mingyue, who was on the sofa opposite, took off her glasses, put down her book and stood up.

"do what?"

"Just come."

Suzu Sakakihara stared at the screen of her mobile phone, and happened to see the plot in the TV series where the male protagonist glanced at the female protagonist's high heels: "Brother, I heard that many men are foot-controllers? Hey, you are so perverted, are you like that?"

Sakakihara Suzu kicked twice and found that she missed. When she sat up holding the pillow, she realized that her brother had disappeared.

"Huh?! Where's my brother?"
