Chapter 30 Band-Aid

Rika Watana opened the door with a key and put on indoor shoes at the entrance. The sound of ingredients being put into a pot could be heard in the apartment.

This is Chen Ling's unique sound when cooking.

Heavy oil and salt.

Akina didn't remember having such a big reaction when cooking Japanese food.

But something seems to be missing today.

She came to the living room, put away her schoolbag and the plastic bag in her hand, and sat neatly on the sofa.

It wasn't until Chen Ling finished the dish, plated it and put it on the dining table that she found a band-aid from the plastic bag and moved it towards the kitchen, holding two portions of... fast food?
  Fast food was also put on the table. Rika Shona stood behind Chen Ling and stared at him as he washed pots in the sink. The bright red scratches on his left hand were clearly visible as it went in and out of the water with dish soap.

The eldest lady's eyes were slightly straightened.

"Oh, I'm back."

As if he only noticed the childish name Lixiang now, Chen Ling smiled a little.

He didn't look very happy today.

Putting the pot back on the stove, Chen Ling wiped her wet hands on her apron in a very graceless manner, and then took the band-aid from Rika Shona's hand.

"Thank you."

Rinse the wound on your finger with clean water, dry it, and then put a band-aid on it.

It seems that the one the eldest lady took out last time was the last one.

Chen Ling suddenly noticed the two snacks on the dinner table.

At first glance, it looked like the fast food assassin in the convenience store downstairs.

Although it was not their own money, Chen Ling still felt heartbroken.

"This is……"

He pointed to the box containing the two sums of five or six thousand.

The eldest lady glanced at the band-aid on Chen Ling's fingertips.

"(I thought Chen Ling wouldn't be able to cook today after being injured.)"

Chen Ling smiled disdainfully when he saw the mobile phone translator.

He waved his hand.

"How is it possible? It's just such a minor injury. It'll be fine once you get used to washing dishes and cooking. It's just that it's troublesome when you play the guitar, so I asked you to bring me some band-aids."

I've done this a lot in the past, but of course, good kids shouldn't learn from it, as it can easily lead to wound infection.

"It's just done and ready to serve."

Jina Lixiang nodded and went to scoop out the rice. Chen Ling put the two high-end fast food bought by the eldest lady into the refrigerator to chill.

After all, the house is still heated.

He suddenly thought, if he only had this Band-Aid, how would he be able to cook by himself in the future?
  Medications also need to be changed.

Unexpectedly, after eating, Jina Lixiang called Chen Ling to the TV cabinet in the living room.

Opening the drawer, there were large and small boxes, which should be some medicines that are always available at home, but Chen Ling didn't recognize any of them.

There are also band-aids, which are exactly the same as the ones Chen Ling has. They must have been just bought and put here.

"(This is used to treat stomach problems.)"

"(This, antipyretic medicine.)"

"(This, cold medicine.)"

Wait, wait, wait, you said so much, that is, I took a nap. There are already many types, and with the Japanese packaging, it naturally triggers the passivity given by the system.

Just look at it and forget about it.

Sensing Chen Ling's embarrassment, the eldest lady pursed her lips and let out a breath.

Leave it at that.

……

Since the computer was moved to the living room, the place where Rika Rika did her homework also came to the table in the living room.

By the way, I will check Chen Ling's Japanese learning progress during the day.

devil.

After receiving the correction, Chen Ling went back to his room to get his guitar.

"Lixiang, has it been several days since the time we agreed on?"

The black-haired girl raised her eyelids with a calm gaze, as if to say: I had expected that you wouldn't be able to write.

"(Isn't that a joke Chen Ling used to stabilize me?)"! ! !

Chen Ling threw the song he had prepared in front of her.

"This is one of Rika's upcoming singles! It's my own original song."

He's the best at talking nonsense.

Move your fingers and start playing.

Pressing the strings with band-aided fingers stung a little, but it was much better than direct contact.

The black-haired girl listened to the melody quietly. It was different from the ones Chen Ling played last time. This was Japanese style.

Relaxed, but with a little bit of sadness, an unspeakable feeling lingering in my heart.

Chen Ling opened his mouth and sang word for word according to the lyrics on the music score.

It's a female key, but if you lower it an octave, you can still sing it smoothly.

After the last note ended, Chen Ling waved his hands.

Damn, I kept playing, and the injured area still hurt.

"How about it? This melody, these lyrics."

"Ah."

Only one word review.

But it must have given her quite a shock.

Those beautiful eyes that were usually indifferent were filled with emotions that Chen Ling couldn't understand. He just felt that his eldest daughter was indeed naturally beautiful.

Still don’t give up on yourself.

"So, I'm serious, rika."

"I understand."

The quality of this song ignited a fire in Rika Rika's heart, which she had never had much hope for.

"Then just take the time to practice. I will also guide you. Although this song is a love song, it does not necessarily require you to have been in love."

What talented singer is not a big dreamer?
  Lixiang nodded slightly.

“I’ll try to get a version out this weekend.”

"Come on, let's familiarize ourselves with the score first, and then learn the lyrics sentence by sentence."

"Ah, yes, yes, the rhythm is fine. Just pay attention to the pitch and pauses."

"What about feelings? Feelings need to incorporate that longing and nostalgia for a better life into your singing."

"And the expression... forget it, let's leave it like that, we'll think of a solution then."

md, it’s finally my turn to be a tutor!

……

Damn it, the sun is shining on your butt?
  Chen Ling suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up from the bed.

It was so comfortable to sleep in this sleep.

He looked at the time, half past nine in the morning.

Isn't today Friday? Why didn't the eldest lady wake him up?

The probability of Lixiang oversleeping was extremely low. She didn't practice singing very late last night. It ended at the same time as usual.

She got up and opened the door and took a look. The master bedroom door was open. She must have been at school.

What about bento?
  Where's breakfast?
  Oh, there was a dinner plate wrapped in plastic wrap on the dining table, with two pieces of toast spread with mayonnaise and a fried egg on it.

Oh, Lixiang prepares breakfast by herself, and takes him with her?
  Okay, okay, this "daughter" was not in vain, but the omelette was a bit cold, and he couldn't get used to the taste of the mayonnaise.

It is impossible to waste, but the taste is still okay.

One of the two lunch boxes in the refrigerator is missing. It must have been taken to school for lunch.

Tear off last night's band-aid, wash up, wipe off the water, then open the medicine cabinet, ready to replace it with a new one.

Chen Ling suddenly realized that Lixiang didn't ask him to get up to cook, maybe because of the wound on her index finger.

After taking a brief look at the medicine box, he made another discovery.

Each medicine box was written with Chinese characters in black pen.

Cold medicine, antipyretic medicine...

They also teased me for being ugly when writing Japanese. Aren’t you writing Chinese to each other the same thing?
