Chapter 639 Shiki Goes Home
Memory is like an old photo, yellowed, blurred, and even some defects, in a trance, unrecognizable.
However, in some special circumstances, a certain part of the photo will suddenly become clear and vivid again, as if it just happened yesterday. Tohno Shiki is currently in this state.
Although seven years have passed, the Tono family's residence has not changed much, which eases Shiki's sense of alienation, and even makes him feel nostalgic.Obviously just now he felt that returning to the Tohno house was a bit unacceptable, but now that he thought about it, it wasn't too bad.
Shiki Tohno lived in the house until the age of nine.
After such a long time, seven years, the memory of that period has mostly been forgotten.
Even so, there are still scenes that are deeply imprinted in my heart, and become more vivid with my return.
He is not the only child living in the Tohno family, and the clearest one in his memory is naturally his younger sister Akiba.
Qiu Ye, who was a child, was always quiet, and often showed a nervous expression that she was afraid of doing something wrong.
Occasionally, when playing with other people, she always followed him closely with her small steps.
Long black hair, lovely dress, looks like the most exquisite doll.
I remember that when I first moved to Youjian's house, Qiuye came to visit several times.But because they often go to the hospital here, it's hard to come across.Later, after Akiba was sent to a boarding school by his father, chances to meet each other were naturally even rarer.
In addition, there is a pair of twin girls.
A girl who is very energetic and cheers up even when she looks at her.With her never-worried personality, everyone in the mansion thinks she is cute.Coupled with the similar age, I get along very well with her, running around in the courtyard every day.
"Shiki, let's play together."
With a cheerful smile, she finds herself locked in the room, holding the introverted Qiuye, as long as she is there, no matter how strict the elders are, they will cast a tolerant look.
In contrast to her, there is another girl.
The girl with the same expressionless face was on the second floor of the mansion and had never come out. She just silently looked at the children playing in the atrium with cold eyes.
In the end, he only spoke a few words to the girl.
"Those children, they are still in the mansion..."
After waking up from the memory, Shiki put his hand into the schoolbag, and quietly grasped a white ribbon.
Ribbon is very old.
That was something that was taken from her hand at the end. ——Seven years ago, after that "accident", the day he was fostered from Tono's mansion to Yuma's house.
Just before leaving the mansion, the girl who was thinking something handed over the ribbon.
"This is on loan to you, so be sure to return it to me."
Saying such words, the girl quickly ran away.
This ribbon cheered up Shiki who was abandoned by his father more than once, and when he remembered that girl was waiting for him to return the ribbon, a certain part of his heart would soften.
It was precisely because he missed them and wanted to see them again that he was willing to return to this house.
"It's unexpectedly deserted." Gan Ye stood in front of the exaggeratedly large iron gate and looked around, "Is anyone there?"
"Don't waste your time, do it, there is no one around, and the door is not locked, so we should be let in directly." With both hands, Shi pushed the door open, and walked in first.
"Shiki..." Kanya just wanted to stop him, but seeing Shiki also followed in, he had no choice but to follow at the end.
As Shiki said, the vestibule was empty, and there was a trace of discord with such a huge mansion.
Fortunately, at the end of the stone road, in the thick entrance, I finally saw a figure, who was an acquaintance.
"Hey, Shiki, long time no see. Kanya and Shiki-san, why are you here? Can't wait to say hello to Shiki's family?"
The person waiting outside the entrance was of course Matou Shinji who initiated the scene in front of him.
"Long time no see, Shinji."
Shiki and Kanya greeted each other with a smile, and Shiki said angrily.
"We're afraid that you and Chengzi have some kind of plot waiting for Shiki."
"Oh, oh, sis, your sharpness is really distressing."
"Sure enough, there is a conspiracy. Tell me the truth."
Hearing what Shinji said, Shiki's expression darkened.
Shen Er didn't care too much: "Hehe, since it's a conspiracy, it won't work if you say it. Zhigui, remember my words, don't just look at everything with your eyes, observe with your heart, and compare your heart with your heart, that is the Buddha's heart."
"Hmph, pretending to be a ghost."
"Well, I see."
Two people with the same pronunciation have different attitudes.
The door of the bungalow opened, and someone came out again, it was Cheng Zi.
"If you want to chat, come in, don't be at the door... Shi, Gan, you are also here, so there is no need to rush to say hello."
"Why do you all say that?" Qian also said helplessly.
"Forget it, it's all here, come in first, the new head of the Tono family has been waiting in the living room for a long time."
The corners of Cheng Zi's mouth curled up, outlining a wicked smile.
"The arrival of the heir of the Liangyi family will definitely surprise her."
"So... the new head of the Tono family is—?" Shiki asked a little nervously.
"You also know/Your good sister-Miss Tono Akiba. She misses your brother very much."
Chengzi and Shinji spoke at the same time, while Kanya and Shiki looked at each other, and the latter complained: "It's a bad taste."
However, Shiki couldn't hear what they were saying at this time.
"Akiba is the head of the house?"
Shiki didn't feel dissatisfied in the slightest about being fostered in the Uma family.The only exception was leaving Akiba alone and her younger sister, who was one year younger, to stay alone in that deserted bungalow.
Father Makihisa is a dead-headed person, and he has very strict requirements on his children, especially heirs.Recalling the education he received as a child, Shiki still feels his scalp tingling.
And after he was abandoned by his father because of a "car accident" that caused his frail health, this burden fell on Qiu Ye, who was only 8 years old.
"—Akiba, she must be holding grudges against me."
Because of my own escape.
In this way, with a messy mood, he came outside the living room, stared blankly at Cheng Zi knocking on the door, and told the news of his return.
Then, the door opened.
Shiki saw the beautiful black-haired young lady, and the cheerful and indifferent twin maids standing on the left and right.
"Welcome home, brother/Master Shiki."
Although he has grown up and is no longer as immature as when he was a child, in Shiki's eyes, he still looks like a child.
The chaotic mood suddenly calmed down, and all worries disappeared.
"Ah, I'm back."
It was like meeting for the first time.
PS: It would be great if life was just as it was at first sight.
PS2: Shiki's memories of Nanaya have been washed away, and Shinji has no intention of revealing this past.
