Tokyo: The life of a literary giant begins with home self-defense!

Chapter 378: The small room on the beach

The shower faucet made a rusty squeak, and the remaining water in the pipe dripped onto the ground bit by bit.

The water dripped onto the ground, following the undried water surface, reflecting the wet body of the girl behind Longchuan Che.

With a little soap bubbles, it looks like the clouds in the sky seen during the day.

Longchuan Che didn't even dare to move, as if he moved he would feel a slippery sensation swimming around on his back.

Like the most flexible fish and the softest flower.

"Do you know what you are doing?"

Longchuan Che tightened his grip on the bathroom faucet.

It doesn't feel good to be held tightly from behind.

When he lowered his head, he could see a small section of the girl's smooth arm. The soap bubbles brought unimpeded friction between their skin.

"Of course I know."

The girl's fingers slid up the boy's ribs and then clasped Longchuan Tetsu's shoulders.

"Brother, you already know this, right?"

The feeling of almost zero skin friction made Long Chuan Che feel a little uneasy.

He turned the shower back on, and the cool seaside water flowed through their hair.

It's dripping, as if it's raining.

Longchuan Che licked his lips and said, "I don't know."

"People who watch the sea at night in Malahide fall in love on top of the rocks."

The girl stood on tiptoe behind him.

"Didn't you write this in your book?"

People who watch the sea at night in Malahide fall in love on the top of the rocks.

This comes from an old Celtic story.

An ancient princess from the golden age and a prince in distress from a neighboring country.

The two eloped and climbed to the top of the rocks on the reef barefoot.

It is a beautiful story about two lovers who finally get married in Ireland.

"You're so boring."

The reason why I was clamoring to go to Malahide was because of an old story. Maybe some girls like to believe this.
"There are no princes or princesses here."

Ryukawa Toru turned around and wanted to leave. He and Takeda Akane were not the kind of dreamy childhood sweethearts. After a certain period of time, their relationship became terrible.

"Turn around and you'll see everything."

The girl's words made Longchuan Che's eyelids twitch.

Feeling the smoothness on his back, Longchuan Che sighed.

"Takeda Akane..."

"Do you remember when we went to the summer festival at Lake Kawaguchiko when we were seven?"

Longchuan Che wanted to say something but was interrupted by the girl.

Two points of silvery white skylight escaped through the maple leaf window above my head, and it looked like stars falling on the ground.

Longchuan Tetsu heard that bad girl say:
"Mother was angry that day and got really mad at you."

Ryuukawa Tetsu still remembers the summer festival eleven years ago.

That was the second year that Takeda Akane and her daughter had just arrived at Lake Yamanaka.

After Ryukawa Tetsu's mother passed away, there was a period of time when no one took care of him. At that time, his wife moved to the courtyard of Yamanaka Lake with her daughter, who was a little younger than Ryukawa Tetsu.

Pomegranates are planted in the garden and hanging orchids are planted on the fence. Ryukawa Toru has a very good relationship with Takeda Akane, who is the same age as him.

"I wanted to watch the fireworks display, but my mother was busy, so you secretly took me there and got beaten up by her."

Two seven-year-olds sneaked out of the house, and the result was predictable.

Longchuan Che still remembers the horrified look in his wife's eyes when she found them, and the meal of stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots was inevitable.

"Do you still remember the fireworks that day?"

Takeda Akane seemed to have become a different person, or her attitude towards Ryukawa Toru changed a lot after she became convinced of something.

The one who used to be so cold and hostile now looks more like an ordinary girl.

"forget."

Longchuan Che was a little impatient, but he actually remembered everything.

The little girl stood in the courtyard with him as punishment, and then he secretly took something to make her a stick of incense. The long and bright firework was hanging upside down, igniting little by little from the end of the fingertips.

To this day, Longchuan Che still remembers the expression of surprise on the other person's fair and tender little face.

"Then let me help you recall your memories."

Childhood was innocent and beautiful, but now something is wrong.

Ryukawa Toru's impatient voice seemed to displease Takeda Akane, and she slid her fingers down to find another incense stick.

"Stop, stop, stop."

Longchuan Che's forehead was covered with sweat.

"I remember."

The boy said helplessly that he didn't want his wife and the others to come and block the bathroom door.

"What about when you were ten and sixteen?"

The girl's fingers slid along the gaps between muscles and stopped at the boy's lower abdomen, listening to the sound of Longchuan Che vibrating the flesh.

"I made a ruler-shaped jade when I was ten years old."

Long Che curled his lips.

"I made a small fireworks festival when I was sixteen."

Lake Kawaguchi does not hold a fireworks festival every year. Ryukawa Toru, who has some fireworks skills, seemed to have been discovered by a girl and has been making fireworks for her since he was seven years old.

"It's the fireworks festival."

Takeda Akane was grinning behind Ryuukawa Toru.

"Uncle, you are so kind to me."

It seemed rude to call him uncle in this situation, and Longchuan Che curled his lips.

"It's not my will."

Except for the small shakudama made when she was ten years old, all the fireworks that followed were made under the pressure of Takeda Akane.

When she was ten years old, the girl seemed to have awakened some bad genes, and she went further and further down the path of making things difficult for others.

“The incense is nice.”

"Isn't this type of ruler too small?"

"I want to see the Thousand Chrysanthemum Wheel this year. Do you have any ideas, Ryukawa Tetsu?"

The demands became more and more, and sometimes Longchuan Che really wanted to stuff gunpowder into the girls' mouths when making fireworks.

"But you did it anyway, didn't you?"

As if she was not satisfied with Longchuan Tetsu's statement that it was not voluntary, the girl tightened her arms around him. Longchuan Tetsu felt something change shape, and said with a headache:

"Done, done. I did it."

Summer seemed to have a different meaning for Takeda Akane, so she would try every means to pester Ryukawa Toru to go to the sea, and said on the Devon coast:
"How about we get together?"

The roaring sound of the waves suddenly became louder in his ears. Longchuan Che pulled the girl's wrist away and looked at her.

The light in the bathroom was bright, creating mist between their brows.

Long Chuan Che raised his eyebrows and said:
"dream!"

Takeda Akane was a little timid when being stared at by the other person, but she still narrowed her eyes.

"why?"

To be honest, if her little secret hadn't been revealed, Takeda Akane would never have done such a thing.

The girl wanted to go to Malahide, but the boy disagreed.

Takeda Akane didn't know why she was so stupid as to invite the other person to the beach.

Maybe there is some expectation, maybe the other person doesn’t hate me that much?
Takeda Akane was a little confused.

"why?"

After saying "dream", Longchuan Che felt that there were some things he needed to make clear to her.

"You hit me on my birthday."

Maybe the two of them once had a good relationship, but the friendship of their childhood was worn out by repeated bossing around.

Ryuukawa Toru could be with anyone in the world except Takeda Akane.

impossible.
