Chapter 281 It Turns Out that Kato Megumi Is the Abnormal One

Red-leaf trees should have been planted on the west side of the Ruyi Liao courtyard to achieve the effect of sunset reflecting red leaves. However, due to Hojo Kyosuke's willfulness, a huge weeping cherry tree was planted. The trees next to it were also replaced with evergreen trees to set off the beauty of the cherry blossoms.

The slowly descending sunset was like salted egg yolk, and the bright yellow light passed through the gap between the oak and poplar trees and fell on the people in the courtyard. The girls in white T-shirts were wiping the table, some were putting the dishes into the basket, and some were squatting on the ground picking up the fallen chores.

"Don't underestimate Kyosuke! He is not only a good cook, but also a good at cleaning dishes!"

Yukinoshita Yukino kept repeating this sentence in her heart, and she kept a smile on her face when she cleaned the dishes.

She was originally assigned to pick up garbage because it was easier, after all, no one would deliberately throw things on the ground. But just as she squatted down, Momotaro ran over happily, opened his "bloody mouth" and wanted to lick her, and the girl was so scared that she sat on the ground.

Yukinoshita's terrified expression, coupled with the title "Scare! Scary! Scary! What movie scares the black-haired beautiful girl like this?", can definitely be published in a movie magazine, and it is guaranteed to attract a large number of audiences to the theater, regardless of gender. Men will imagine the girls around them as the beautiful girls on the cover, and women will think that they must be so cute when they are scared.

Of course, such a scene happened in Ruyi Liao, which would only make Kasumigaoka Utaha sneer contemptuously.

Really, what's wrong with not being good at dealing with dogs? Being able to correctly realize your own shortcomings is what you should pay attention to and learn from!

Thinking so indignantly, looking at Momotaro who was called away by a whistle, Yukinoshita couldn't help blushing a little, and then accepted the proposal of the glass exchange job. Professional things should be left to professionals, and everyone has a suitable position for themselves. This is how she understood it.

"Oh my! Why did you put my bowl on top of yours, Yukino? Do you want me to eat with your saliva next time?"

"Idiot!"

After cursing with a smile, Yukino put the bowl neatly in the white plastic basket.

Doing such simple housework, she felt relaxed from body to soul with a full stomach. Even Sakura's silly words like a kindergarten kid looked so cute. The cold sunset shone on her face, and she realized that her face was so red.

The girl felt reluctant to leave the party that was about to end. This was extremely rude. It was the right thing to do to say goodbye at the right time. Even if she didn't read the articles of social experts, she knew this common sense.

However, she hadn't felt such a relaxed and happy atmosphere for a long time...

Not only Sakura's words, but also Glass, Eriri, and even Kasumigaoka's words flashed through her mind one by one.

Oh, yes. It turns out that what the girls in the class said was true. When they went to each other's house to play, they really showed off their proud things. Yukinoshita remembered the satisfied look when Eriri introduced Bubble General.

However, she was not as exaggerated and false as those girls in school. She was not annoying at all, but just cute.

Even Kasumigaoka Utaha's words were very interesting when she recalled them at this moment. Compared with those people who were full of momentum at the beginning, but became timid as soon as she spoke. She was proud enough to say such bad words to herself.

Glass...

Before, she only felt that she was a cute girl who was extremely gentle, but now she showed another side. Like herself, she had been bullied, but her life took a completely different path. She chose to become stronger and rely only on her own strength; she chose to believe in Hojo Kyosuke who saved her and rely on the other's strength to become stronger.

If it were in the past, Yukinoshita would say that nothing would change. Once the person you rely on disappears, everything will get worse. But Glass and Hojo Kyosuke are not like that.

The relationship between them is not a parasitic one that just absorbs, nor is it a symbiosis that will die if separated. If there is a way to describe it, it is what Yamauchi Sakura said about spring and flowers.

The bond between the two has become warm and fertile soil. In the cold winter, Glass will try to draw strength from the soil, quietly and gently, because she knows that spring will always come.

And when spring comes, she will bloom in the warm spring breeze, swaying her branches and petals in the spring sunshine.

Hojo Kyosuke, Hojo Kyosuke...

Yukinoshita, who was looking forward to the scumbag's thunder, suddenly didn't want to see that scene, and vaguely understood the mood of everyone else present except herself.

Looking at Nishimiya Glass squatting on the ground, with a serious face, carefully picking up the garbage between the gaps in the grass, Yukinoshita felt a little cold in her arms.

The sunset in spring not only cannot bring warmth, but also seems to take back some of the warmth that was previously scattered.

Does the sun also need to draw warmth from others to get through the night?

The typical literary girl who was in adolescence, although she didn't sit on the lawn by the river with her long black hair, she still began to feel sad. The sun has set, how can she still be so happy, hurry up and feel sad!

"Ok ok, the work is done~~"

A shout of "I'm so tired" interrupted Yukinoshita's thoughts. She didn't even need to turn her head to know that the person who spoke must be Yamauchi Sakura.

"Aren't we going to wash the dishes next?" she asked, not because she wanted to show off her years of hard work in housework, but because she wanted to stay here for a while longer.

"Just leave that to the magic cabinet, this is the power of civilization!" Sakura gave a thumbs up, showing her white teeth.

Oops, so shiny.

"Magical cabinet?" Yukinoshita asked back.

"I think Sakura might be talking about a dishwasher." The person who answered was Kato Megumi, I wonder if she has also wanted to have one for a long time.

"..."

I'm sorry, even now, I still can't keep up with Yamauchi Sakura's dead end. However, this Kato classmate is very powerful. Although he often ignores her unconsciously, he instantly knows what Sakura means. This observation is very strong.

Yes, with Hojo Kyosuke's lazy personality and the way he dotes on Sakura and others, how could his family not buy a dishwasher.

Then I should leave too.

"It's decided!"

Another loud shout, Yamauchi Sakura saw that everyone was looking at her, and continued:

"Tonight we're going to watch a horror movie! We're going to play Hyakumonogatari! We're also going to eat French fries and fried fish!"

Hey hey hey? ! Isn't it true that when you go to a friend's house, you have to say goodbye after dinner?

A smile appeared on Yukinoshita's face, and she looked at Kato Megumi next to her, hoping to see the same surprise as herself. But unfortunately, the other person's expression was as calm as ever.

It's a pity that Sakura didn't see this scene, otherwise she would definitely sneer with contempt. Haha, even the great detective Sakura couldn't see Megumi-chan's emotions, and Yukino, who was only half-baked in the art of grasping people's hearts, also wanted to see it?

But it doesn't matter, Yukinoshita happily understood the calmness on Kato Megumi's face as a very common thing.

Very good, this time I will never be as embarrassed as buying gifts! But, horror movies? Why do so many girls want to watch horror movies together?

"No fries and fried fish, today's supper is red wine stewed pears and yogurt. The pears are already in the stew pot, and we can eat them right away."

Kyosuke Hojo decisively rejected Yamauchi Sakura's proposal. Hot pot is already greasy enough, and the supper must be healthier. Both pears and yogurt are very suitable for nourishing the stomach and clearing the lungs.

"Wow! Great! I haven't eaten red wine stewed pears for three days!" Lady Sakura readily agreed.

Wow...

Kato Megumi also exclaimed, she couldn't even control her expression, and opened her mouth cutely.

Delicious hot pot, exquisite sashimi, her own exclusive rice bowl... and now there is a dessert that sounds very high-end after the meal?

This is exactly the same as what she imagined Hojo's life to be. The only difference is that the person in charge of the cooking is actually Hojo himself, and she has become the one who enjoys his cooking.

This, it turns out that her imagination is still too scarce. After all, Eriri and Kasumigaoka seniors have very calm expressions. Oh, not very calm, Eriri has already started to swallow her saliva. But does Shiyu-senpai need to continue drinking yogurt? It will be bad for health if she grows bigger, right?

Kato Megumi swallowed her saliva quietly and thought casually.

The moment she heard Hojo Kyosuke's words, Yukinoshita's eyes turned to Yamauchi Sakura, and then looked at the other party's funny expression.

The bad mood that just arose in her heart disappeared by 90% in an instant. This idiot, she couldn't have thought that Hojo Kyosuke's two desserts were specially prepared for her, right? Show a sad expression like a normal person, and perform a wabi-sabi picture with the sunset.

Hojo Kyosuke was responsible for putting the table and other large items in the tool room, and everyone else went to the living room.

In fact, the family had prepared special garden slippers, which were some high wooden clogs, but no one liked them. Everyone chose to step on the grass barefoot, then sat on the edge of the living room to simply wipe off the dust on their feet, choose whether to wear slippers or socks, and then go to the bathroom to simply wash their feet.

Yukinoshita and Kato Megumi followed suit and sat with Yamauchi Sakura next to them, wiped off the grass on their feet, and then put on white socks.

Dongdongdong——

With a few big steps, Sakura grabbed the tablet on the TV cabinet before Eriri. He gave the latter a malicious smile, then unlocked it and slid his fingers on the screen:

"Then let me see what good movies are there~ Hui-chan, Yukino, sit down quickly."

"Let's watch the sequel to the last one? Didn't Miss. Spencer like it very much?" Kasumigaoka sat on the sofa next to the kitchen as usual. There were two sofas, one long and one short, and only this one could accommodate her long legs.

"Kasumigaoka Utaha! Don't call me that weird name all of a sudden. Besides, I don't like that movie at all. The meaningless masks and the low-quality plasma that looks like ketchup are so ugly!" Eriri said angrily, and then she saw Yukinoshita and Kato Megumi still standing there, so she reached out and pulled them to sit next to her. "Don't be so restrained, you won't be sitting there anyway." "Huh? But after watching the movie, didn't Tsk-tsk have a satisfied expression on his face? Did I remember it wrong?" Kasumigaoka said in surprise. "..." Eriri's little face turned red instantly: "Anyway, don't watch the sequel to that!" "Then watch this!"

Sakura-sama made the final decision without any intention of asking for other people's opinions. Choosing a movie is the biggest waste of time. Anyway, after watching it for a while and someone doesn’t like it, you can just change it.

"Hey, show me the introduction!" Ying Lili shouted in shock. If she knew the general content, she would be better prepared. But she didn't know at all, and she was already panicking.

"Hehe, that's what makes it fun~ If you're scared, just sit next to Kyosuke later."

Sakura laughed playfully and hugged the tablet tightly, then sat down tightly next to Kasumigaoka's butt.

"Huh? How could I be scared? It's just a boring movie made by a third-rate editor using a formula. It brainlessly piles on horror elements, uses music and special pictures to create a scary atmosphere, and adds a trivial connotation that cannot enhance the meaning of the film at all. . Will this kind of movie scare me? Don’t look down on people!”

Yinglili said forcefully.

Um? So you're not an idiot? !

Yukinoshita turned to Eiriri in surprise. Judging from the performances of Sakura and Kasumigaoka, Sawamura must be afraid of watching horror movies, even though she kept saying that she was not afraid. But now, Yukinoshita heard such coherent words unexpectedly.

This is exactly what she thought. Although she will be immersed in the novel, she will soon be able to escape from the world created by the author, because her reason allows her to clearly distinguish between reality and fiction. In the same way, horror movies, as long as you can clearly realize that they are false, will not produce any fear at all.

So, could it be that other people would play tricks on Sawamura-san while watching horror movies? If this is the case, you can understand why Sawamura-san, who clearly knows the raw materials for making horror movies, would still be scared.

This is absolutely reliable empirical reasoning, and the material is Yukinoshita himself. When she was a child, she was teased crazily by her sister when she went to an amusement park, which resulted in symptoms similar to PTSD in certain projects.

If this is the case, I will never let the prankster go! The righteous Snow Goddess looked at the pitiful Eirili next to her and secretly made up her mind.

"Um, it smells so strong." The blond man, who quickly forgot his fear after thinking of someone, lowered his head and sniffed at his shoulder, and said in disgust.

Well, he is really an idiot, can't he remember anything for more than three seconds?

Thinking this, Yukinoshita also lowered her head and smelled it, and her slender eyebrows like willow leaves immediately frowned. Sure enough, there was a strong "hot pot smell".

It’s like being pickled...

Also following her actions were Megumi Kato and other girls.

"This is hot pot." Glass smiled lightly.

Oh~ Anyone who passes by me will instantly know what they have just eaten. They have a very strong sense of presence. It is really amazing food, and their own existence becomes much clearer. Kato Megumi nodded clearly, but she didn't mind it very much. After all, everyone around her smelled the same, and it felt pretty good.

"Very good, it's decided. Let's take a shower and change clothes before Kyosuke comes in!"

"Then let him get into bed with you, who is fragrant and warm?" Kasumigaoka leaned on the back of the sofa and chuckled.

"Hmm~~ It's not good to have so many people at home." Yamauchi Sakura hesitated with a look of emotion on his face.

Give me a good rebuttal. What are you talking about? Yukinoshita said angrily.

"Xiao Yukino, you can wash it in my room. I can also lend you my clothes."

Don't call me by my name after having that conversation, as if I want to crawl into Hojo Kyousuke's bed with you.

"No, I won't use it. If you have deodorant..."

"Megumi, let Ni-chan lend you some clothes. You two are of similar stature." Sakura continued to give instructions.

"Well~ I'll trouble you, Glass~" Kato Megumi nodded calmly.

Hey hey, isn't it? Is this also part of the process of visiting a friend’s house? Why did Kato-san agree so calmly? Could it be that she has been to Ruyi Lao many times? Yukinoshita's eyes widened and she looked in disbelief at Kato Megumi, who responded calmly to Sakura.

Ah? Is Megumi talking too much?

Yamauchi Sakura blinked. In fact, she just wanted to tease Xiao Yukino. She quickly stuck out her little tongue and licked her lips, and then said:

"Anyway, we have to play Hyakumonogatari later, otherwise we can sleep at my house today."

How could such a sudden request be possible...

"Okay~ I just told my family that I might go back later tonight. If I want to stay overnight, I'll explain it later."

"Hey? It's really okay!?"

Sakura's exclamation made Yukinoshita Yukino finally understand that it was not him who was abnormal. What's going on with this girl? There's a limit to how nice she can talk. There's a guy like Hojo Kyosuke in this family who's so dangerous that he'll blow out the warning light!

"Well, my parents are more confident about their children's social interactions." Megumi Kato's tone was still calm.

"Then stay at home from now on, Hui-chan." Someone who was pushing the envelope asked with his hands clasped together.

"Huh? Why did things suddenly change from taking a bath to living together?"

Kato Megumi exclaimed softly, calling it an exclamation, but Yukinoshita's ears only felt that the other party's speaking speed had sped up a little, and the overall sound still sounded very brisk.

So it is because you are so easy to talk to that guy that he is getting more and more demanding! Also, why is Kato Megumi the only one being questioned? Aren't you also a guest?

Oh, I see, that idiot Yamauchi Sakura, who still assumes that he lives alone, will be persuaded by her to stay.

"Because you are so easy to talk to, Megumi-chan, I unconsciously want to try it." Sakura said her thoughts without hiding anything.

"Soga"

Nodding slightly, her bob haircut shook lightly:

"My parents are not open-minded enough to that extent~"

Hearing this, Yukinoshita's mouth immediately turned into an O shape. What's going on? If your parents allow it, are you really going to agree to Sakura's inexplicable request?

Thank you for the monthly tickets, thank you
