The same table is actually my sick reader

Chapter 152
On August [-]th, the day when I returned to my hometown, Ogijima.

Even after a day of recuperation, Izumi Kurose still felt weak in his feet, weak in his kidneys, and weak in his body.

There is no way, he is really going to be squeezed dry...

Baishi Qianlian supported him, and said with a smile: "Quan, won't your uncle and aunt worry about you?"

Kurose Izumi glared at her, and snorted, "Isn't it your fault? I've been tossing me all day, it's unbelievable!"

"Hmph, this is exercising Quan's body, I'm doing it for your own good."

"I'm afraid I'll die young!"

"Then I will pay more attention to it in the future."

……

After packing their luggage, the two arrived at Tokyo International Airport. After half an hour of boarding process, they took their seats.

The journey from Tokyo to Takamatsu is not too far away, it only takes eight to 10 minutes by plane.

But if you want to take other means of transportation, it usually takes ten hours to start.

Even if you take the out-of-service express train, it will take ten hours!
After about ten minutes, the plane reached the clouds, and the whole day became stable, and the scenery outside the window also changed accordingly.

The white clouds drifting all over the sky, sometimes like icebergs, sometimes like cotton candy, changing indefinitely.

Most of the time on the plane is silent.

Shiraishi Chirei's small hand was held by Kurose Izumi, her head rested on his shoulder, and she closed her eyes peacefully.

She likes this very much, she can act like a baby to Kurose Izumi unprepared and concealed, asking for peace of mind.

Time passed slowly, and an hour later, the plane arrived in Takamatsu and landed at the airport.

After getting off the plane, the two followed the signs to the luggage hall, retrieved the suitcases smoothly, and left the airport.

"It's finally here..."

Kurose Izumi looked at the surrounding environment with joy, and took a big breath of fresh air.

Although Takamatsu is a city, it is less prosperous than Tokyo, and the air quality is better.

"Izumi, I'm getting a little nervous."

"It's okay, my parents are very talkative, don't worry."

Kurose Izumi said a word of reassurance, and clenched the little hand that he had been holding, as if to give Shiraishi Qianrean peace of mind.

"Ah."

Shiraishi Qianren nodded slightly, relieved the tension.

While chatting all the way, the two came to Takamatsu Port.

They stood on the pier, enjoying the pleasant wind, looking at the endless deep blue ocean.

After a while, a red and white ship came from afar on the wind and waves.

Under the watchful eyes of the two, the ship slowly approached, gradually changing from a small point to a majestic giant.

After that, the ship broke down and docked on the shore, and people came out of the deck one after another.

Back and forth they stepped down the steps leading from the deck to the pier, passing those who were about to board.

Izumi Kurose and Chirei Shiraishi boarded the ship.

After showing the crew the tickets bought at the port, they stood on the deck and looked at the sea.

The salty sea breeze, accompanied by pleasant coolness, lingered between the two of them.

A flock of soaring birds, over the ship, headed for the green island in the distance.

In the flock of birds, there are two birds that seem to be lagging behind, living in the rear of the team.

However, they still seem to be encouraging each other, cuddling each other and flying together.

How strange, what should I say about this situation?

just like……

"Just like us, Qianlian."

Kurose Izumi grabbed the fence, looked up at the two birds soaring in the blue sky, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Yes, they are also encouraging each other, leaning on each other, and flying together.

"what?"

After hearing the words, Baishi Qianlian asked suspiciously, followed his gaze and looked up.

And when she saw the two birds, she understood instantly.

"Well, it looks a lot like us..."

Shiraishi Qianlian nodded, feeling something in her heart.

I hope...they can also support each other like these two birds, let's keep going.

At that moment, she couldn't help praying in her heart.

"Qian Lian, don't worry."

When Kurose Izumi shifted his gaze from the flock of birds to Shiraishi Chirei, he sensed what she was thinking at a glance.

So, he raised a smile and squeezed her hand tightly.

He believes that, like these two birds, they will support each other, go on a journey together, and lead to a happy future!
In the hot summer wind, the ship moved forward slowly, cutting through the blue and clear water.

Half an hour later, as far as the eye can see, a small island can be seen.

The low hills covered by greenery are adjacent to each other and form a single piece.

Beside the sandy beach along the coast, there are several small and uneven houses standing here and there.

This is Ogi Island, a small island with beautiful mountains and clear waters, which is indifferent to the world.

In the impression of Izumi Kurose, in the spring here, the mountain branches are romantic, and a back mountain summit is full of cherry blossom forests.

It was his secret base when he was a child, huh?
In summer, here is along the sea, the climate is cool and pleasant, you can go to the beach to enjoy sea bathing at will.

In autumn, the mountain will be covered with red maples and autumn leaves, making the whole island a mixed color of red, yellow and green.

In winter, the air is very clear, and when you look up at the sky at night, you can see the bright starry sky.

If you are lucky, you may even see the Milky Way and the aurora!

……

"Arriving at Ogicho Port soon"

And when the island was close in sight, an announcement sounded in the cabin to remind passengers to go to the shore.

Immediately, the ship gradually slowed down and anchored steadily at the port.

This time it will rest for a while and start again at [-]:[-] pm.

"Let's go."

Seeing this, Kurose Izumi took Shiraishi Chirei's hand, walked down the steps, and stood on the pier made of dark gray concrete.

"It's so fishy..."

Kurose Izumi sniffed the air, and the sea breeze was mixed with a strong fishy smell, which made him frown.

Originally, he just wanted to feel the taste of his hometown, but he forgot that this was a port.

"It's all because of fishermen and fishing houses."

"Well, let's go, it's a bit unbearable."

While talking, the two left the port and set foot on the thick mountain road.

The biggest difference between the island and the city is the rough road, right?

The mountain roads are only roughly repaired to the extent that cars can drive and people can walk.

Unlike cities, every road is smooth and asphalted.

After leaving the port, the air becomes sober and clear, and every breath is filled with greenery in the forest.

After walking for half an hour, the surrounding houses gradually became denser, indicating that they had come to a residential area.

"Ha...Quan, your home is really far away. I can't imagine that you will be physically weak after walking so far."

Shiraishi Qianrei wiped the fragrant sweat from her forehead, exhaled hot air continuously, and let out a misleading low panting sound.

There is no way, everyone will become sweaty when walking on the mountain road under the scorching sun in summer!
"I don't usually go out."

Kuroseizumi muttered softly, and then said: "Let's go a little longer, the middle of the residential area is my home. ""

At this moment, he was also sweating profusely, panting, and feeling very uncomfortable.

After walking for a few minutes, they finally stopped in front of a Japanese-style mansion.

This kind of mansion is made of solid wood, and the roof is "^" shaped bricks and tiles, which are stacked in layers.

"That's it..."

Kurose Izumi said with anticipation, and took the lead to push the door and enter, entering the courtyard with spreading greenery.

In Ogi Island, residents basically do not lock their doors except at night.

Seeing Kurose Izumi go in first, Shiraishi Qianrei took out a handkerchief from her pocket, wiped off her sweat, and tidied up her appearance.

Thinking of meeting her parents, she became nervous for some reason, she already knew that the other party would be as gentle as Kurose Izumi.

"Mother! Father! I'm back!"

And Kurose Izumi, who was in the courtyard, had already shouted loudly towards the living room in the atrium, his expression hard to hide his excitement.

After he yelled a few times, the door of the living room was opened, and a beautiful lady with a gentle temperament and a dangerous hairstyle appeared behind the door.

She is Kurose Izumi's mother, Kurose Rinko.

"Koizumi?"

Rinko looked at Kurose Izumi who was standing at the door, and blinked, with a puzzled and disbelieving expression.

Well, this is also because Kurose Izumi didn't contact in advance and planned to surprise his parents.

"I'm back, mother." Izumi Kurose stepped forward with a smile, put down his luggage, and hugged his mother gently, "How are you and father?"

"Eh, eh?"

Rinko was still a little puzzled, blinking her eyes, as if she still couldn't accept the fact.

"Hey what? I'm back, your son is back."

"Huan, welcome back?"

"Haha, mother, why do you want to ask questions?"

"I, am I still dreaming? Why is Koizumi back?"

"I want to come back to see my mother, and..."

Kurose Izumi said, paused.

He let go of his hand, and turned his head to look at Qianrei Shiraishi who was standing not far behind, looking at a loss, and said softly: "I have a girlfriend, and I want to take her home and introduce her to you."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Rinko turned her eyes away from Izumi Kurose, and turned to look at the girl standing tall and graceful behind him.

"Eh--!!!"

This time, her exclamation was several times louder than before.

"Girl, girlfriend?" Rinko started as if confirming, her eyes kept looking back and forth between Kurose Izumi and Shiraishi Chirei.

She remembered that her son seemed to be a somewhat gloomy and autistic social fear?
Fortunately, she was always worried that if Kurose Izumi went to a big city like Tokyo, he would be bullied because of his personality.

Unexpectedly, not only did he have a good life, but he also got a girlfriend, and social terror also evolved into a social terrorist!
"Auntie, hello."

At this time, Baishi Qianrei stepped forward at the right time, bowed and saluted: "It's the first time we meet, my name is Baishi Qianrei, please take care of me."

"Rin, Rinko, please take care of me." Rinko replied blankly, still unable to recover.

"Mom, let's go in and talk? It's hot outside."

"Ah... yes, then go in, I'll get you towels."

Rinko, who came back to her senses, hurriedly greeted the two of them to enter, still feeling like a dream in her heart.

The layout of the living room is very simple, with a wooden table on the tatami in the center, a fan next to it, and an old antenna TV set in the corner on the other side.

On the left side, there is a wooden door that can be pushed open. Inside is a balcony with a gentle rocking chair, and the outside is facing the courtyard.

Pretty standard Japanese set.

When the two came to the wooden table and sat down, Rinko brought a water basin, two towels were soaked in the clear water.

"Thank you, mother." Izumi Kurose thanked with a smile, took out the towels, and handed one of them to Chirei Shiraishi.

Rinko looked at the two of them, hesitated to speak several times, and finally couldn't help asking: "Koizumi, can you explain it to me?"

She couldn't understand at all how her son got such a good cabbage, and the other party promised to go home together.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Izumi Kurose looked away and focused on Rinko again, "As you can see, Qianrei is my girlfriend, I will bring her back to see you."

"No no no! I didn't ask you that!"

Linzi quickly waved her hand, and said again: "I mean, did you ask her parents' permission to bring Shiraishi back like this?"

"This one……"

Kurose Izumi showed hesitation, for a moment he didn't know how to explain the situation to his mother.

He did not say hello to Shiraishi's mother, because Shiraishi Qianrei said that it was unnecessary and unnecessary.

"Did you say hello?" Seeing Kurose Izumi's reaction, Rinko suddenly became serious, "Koizumi, this is not allowed? You must ask for permission."

"No... this..."

Kurose Izumi scratched his head, and when he was about to explain something, Shiraishi Qianren interrupted softly: "Auntie, I have separated from my family, so it doesn't matter if I don't ask for their consent."

"Eh?"

Rinko was stunned when she heard the words, she didn't expect this at all.

Seeing Shiraishi Qianrei explain the reason bluntly, Kurose Izumi also said: "Mother, Qianrei's parents divorced five years ago, and she has been living alone for the past five years, so it is okay not to say hello in advance."

"Is that so..."

Rinko muttered to herself, with an apologetic expression on her face: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen."

"It's okay, Auntie." Baishi Qianlian smiled indifferently, "As long as you understand, it's not a willful act for me to follow home."

She wanted to make a good impression on Kurose Izumi's parents as much as possible.

No pretense, very frank self-display.

This is what Izumi Kurose wants, so she wants to do it.

"Mother, why didn't you see your parents? Where did he go?" Kurose Izumi looked around and changed the subject naturally.

"He's in the field. The watermelon has been ripe recently, and it's ready to be harvested and sold."

"Father really likes to be busy..."

Kurose Izumi smiled wryly, obviously when he made money writing novels, he told his parents to rest well and stop working hard.

Before he went to Tokyo, his father made a living by fishing, which was very hard.

"Yahiko is that kind of person, if you let him idle, he will definitely be uncomfortable." Rinko covered her mouth and chuckled, her brows and eyes becoming soft.

The Yahiko she was talking about was Kurose Izumi's father, Kurose Yahiko.

In Kurose Izumi's impression, his father is really a handsome man, not only his face, but also his temperament, words and deeds.

"Well, what mother said is true." Kurose Izumi nodded with a smile.

Afterwards, the mother and son chatted for a while, Shiraishi Qianrei accompanied and listened quietly.

She was not dissatisfied with this, but very happy.

The content of the conversation was mostly about how it was in Tokyo, and then how it met and interacted with Kurose Izumi.

At that time, Kurose Izumi faltered and hesitated, not daring to tell the real reason, but said that Shiraishi Chirei was very beautiful, gentle, and intellectual, and naturally fell in love with her.

Rinko didn't suspect anything, she always had a gentle smile on her face, and looked at the two of them tenderly.

"Goo~"

After chatting for about half an hour, Kurose Izumi's stomach started to growl.

After hearing the call, Rinko looked up at the clock and found that it was already 12:30 noon.

She quickly stood up and said, "Oh, it's already here, wait, I'll make lunch for you."

"Auntie, shall I help?" Shiraishi Qianlian stood up and planned to help.

"Mother, Qian Lian is very good at cooking. It's easier to ask her to help you."

"Hehe, okay, then come and help me, he is such a good boy." Rinko smiled softly, took Shiraishi Qianrei's little hand, and led her into the kitchen.

Kurose Izumi, who stayed in the living room, got up and left home, planning to use this time to find his father in the melon field.
