Chapter 191
Before reaching the gate of Purgatory House, I saw an old owl standing there from a distance.
It looked like he had been waiting for a while, but when he saw someone and walked over, he stubbornly said that he had just returned.
Qingxi: ...
Don't pretend anymore. With your two sons constantly "exposing themselves", I already know what kind of former Flame Pillar you are.jpg
After saying goodbye to Rengoku Makijuro and Rengoku Ruka, Kiyoki and the swordsman Tsukumogami returned to their respective houses.
After simply putting away the things she bought today in the house, she sat on the tatami like a lazy fish, not wanting to move at all.
Finally, she experienced what it was like to go shopping with a woman.
Originally, she thought that her fighting ability was already very strong, but it turned out that Mrs. Ruhuo, who looked to be of average physical condition and might need someone to take care of her, was able to take the seven of them out for a whole morning.
After enjoying the food prepared by the housekeeping angel Horikawa Kunihiro, Qingxi stayed in the house all afternoon.
With her was Rengoku Chijuro who brought his homework. One of them was quietly making amulets with his head down, while the other was busy writing his winter vacation homework.
Compared with the shouting and screaming outside, this place looks extremely harmonious.
Dinner was still prepared by Kunihiro Horikawa. It was more like a "Japanese spicy hot pot" that he made for her at Qingxi's suggestion rather than noodles. To put it bluntly, it was a bowl of hodgepodge of everything.
She poured some aged vinegar and sesame oil and ate a quantity that she could never finish normally.
"Hmm, Aki, are you still awake?"
The hot water washed away the day's fatigue and dust on his body. Rengoku Kyojuro passed by the girl's resting room with half-dry hair. Seeing the sliding door half open, he couldn't help but stop and stood at the door and said.
"Well, it's still early, so I just want to be in a daze for a while."
The girl's reaction speed was half a beat slower than during the day, which proved exactly what she said. Rengoku Kyojuro hesitated for a moment, turned his foot, walked through the half-open shoji door and entered the girl's room.
"Hmm, do you want me to chat with you for a while?" he asked.
Qingxi's somewhat dazed eyes focused on the face of the boy who was gradually turning into a young man. The two looked at each other for a while, and suddenly she chuckled, "Isn't this what you thought, Kyojuro?"
She said meaningfully, "Your house is not here."
Rengoku Kyojuro felt his ears getting a little hot after being teased by the girl, but he still admitted it readily, "Well, because I wanted to see Aki, and I didn't know if you were resting at this time, so I came to take a look."
"I haven't rested yet." Qingxi said.
She tilted her head and looked at Rengoku Kyojuro, her eyes clearly showing "Then what are you going to talk about?"
It can't be said that she was embarrassed, but she definitely wanted to see him feel embarrassed and awkward when he was asked this question by her.
Seeing this girl, Rengoku Kyojuro really thought about it seriously and replied: "Hmm, I miss Aki."
Qingxi was stunned. Obviously, she didn't expect that the owl in front of her would speak so bluntly.
No, if it was Kyojuro, it wouldn't be surprising at all.
After all, compared to being more euphemistic, "going straight to the heart of the matter" is more his style.
However, whereas he used to be straightforward with others, this time he was being frank with himself... and the words he said as soon as he opened his mouth were like a confession, so straightforward that no one could pretend not to hear them.
Qingxi, who was hit straight, felt secretly annoyed in his heart.
If I hadn't done anything stupid before, I wouldn't be trapped in the trap I dug.
"Ashi?"
After the boy told the girl about his longing for her, he wanted her to respond to him.
Qingxi, who was being stared at, felt as if she was being locked in. She moved her body awkwardly, trying to make the feeling go away, but it didn't work at all.
Stubborn and persistent!
Qingxi thought to himself.
At this time, you can see the different ways two people express their feelings.
One of them may have a personality that is like a flame or a little sun, so when it comes to the person she likes, she can be so passionate and straightforward. The other one, perhaps because of her two experiences of traveling through the world, has seen more and has become as lukewarm and indifferent as water when it comes to feelings. Even though she later responded to him, she did not dare to take another step forward because this relationship brought her more of a sense of unreality, and would often passively respond when the boy made a move.
And this time, she is still the same.
Qingxi, who was originally sitting cross-legged in a nondescript manner, asked the boy to kneel down, then slowly crawled forward a few steps on her knees until she was in front of him. When the other person looked at her, she leaned forward slightly and kissed the boy's cheek with her cherry-red lips.
That should be enough.
Qingxi thought silently in his heart.
The girl's kiss was very light, with the youthfulness of a teenager, as if it was gently brushed by a feather.
Rengoku Kyojuro clenched his hands on his knees into fists, and his heart skipped a beat. The next moment, his wheat-colored cheeks, which had been running around outside for many years, turned red.
Qingxi was originally still struggling with what the two of them should say next, how should they discuss a relationship, but when she saw that she, who should have been the active one, was blushing first, she suddenly smiled unkindly.
Okay, now she is not worried about how to fall in love, because she suddenly found that there are people who are more nervous than her.
"Hmm, is it that funny?" When the girl noticed his nervousness, Rengoku Kyojuro was like a broken jar. When the other party was about to retreat, he reached out and hugged her and pulled her into his arms.
He asked in a muffled voice, his chin resting on the girl's thin shoulder.
"A little... haha, but, it's very cute." Qingxi couldn't help but chuckle as she spoke. "Because before, Kyojuro gave me the impression that although he was very shy, he also had a very, um, "I know how to fall in love" feeling."
"How is that possible?" Rengoku Kyojuro's face was full of helplessness. "Aki, you are the one who knows best whether I have someone I like or not."
We have known each other since we were eleven or twelve years old, and have been together for eight or nine years. How could I not know the female people around me?
He looked up and imitated the girl's smile by placing a gentle kiss on her face.
In an instant, the girl's laughter that was still echoing in the air stopped abruptly.
Qingxi felt as if someone had forced a plum into his mouth, and he couldn't swallow it, nor could he spit it out, and he was choking.
Phew!
Qingxi glared.
Don't think that I didn't hear it just because your voice was soft and you stopped immediately.
Kyojuro, you just laughed, you must have been laughing!!!
"I didn't." Rengoku Kyojuro said, as if he had read the girl's unspoken words.
"You have!" Qingxi snorted.
The tip of her nose touched the boy's half-dried hair, which had the fresh scent of fresh washing. She reached out to scratch it, then poked at the two hairs that were still sticky and trying not to fall down even after washing. Finally, she concluded, "Kyojuro, you really are like a fire, whether it's your personality or the color of your hair."
Letting the girl's hands randomly grab his hair, Rengoku Kyojuro thought for a moment and hugged her tighter, saying, "If it's fire, then if I hold you like this, will you still feel cold?"
Facing the doubt in the girl's eyes, his eyes became a little distracted, but he still explained: "Because, every time Ah Xi comes, she seems to be very afraid of the cold and very uncomfortable. If I hold Ah Xi like this, will you feel better?"
The expression on Qingxi's face changed from confusion to dullness, and from dullness to anger and embarrassment.
If you calculate the time, it seems that her period this month is during these few days.
She herself didn't even bother to remember the time of their arrival every month, but Kyojuro remembered it so clearly?
It feels good to be cared for, but at the same time, it feels so sour to have a man remember when your period comes...
It makes her happy but not fully enjoyable, and it makes her angry but unable to get angry.
"Kyojuro." Qingxi's expression was serious, and her tone was solemn. When the other party looked at her, she said, "Can you, can you forget about my monthly stomachache?"
Rengoku Kyojuro's eyes narrowed, and he looked troubled. "Hmm, but Aki, you have stomachaches every month. How can I ignore it?"
He ruffled the girl's frizzy hair and said, "Ashi, you are making things difficult for me."
"But this is so embarrassing." Qingxi raised her hands to cover her face. "Every month, if I have a stomachache, you all know that I'm having my period... I still have to have some dignity."
"Hmm, it's okay." Sensing the girl's awkwardness, Rengoku Kyojuro gently patted her back. "Kanae said this is a normal physiological phenomenon for women. Ah Xi, you don't have to feel ashamed."
"Ah, I know, I know." Qingxi, who was comforted, curled up her toes in embarrassment. "Anyway, Kyojuro, please don't talk about this issue anymore."
After a pause, she seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly, she grabbed the clothes on his chest, her face becoming vicious. "Tell me, do I smell of blood when I have my period?"
This question is very important.
It's not that she wanted to ask, but these pillars all have dog noses. No, that's not the right way to say it. It should be said that they are extremely sensitive to the smell of blood. She is not sure whether Kyojuro can smell it when he is with her.
Faced with the girl's question, Rengoku Kyojuro opened his mouth.
He really wanted to honestly say that he could smell it when he was about two meters away from her, but his instinct told him that if he really answered like that, Ah Xi might perform a drama of kicking him out of the house.
Rengoku Kyojuro was in a state of distress, unable to figure out how to answer the girl's question without irritating her to the point of exasperation. Instinctively, he tightened his arms around her, then, as she pressed closer, he murmured, "Hmm, I can smell it... when I'm about two meters away from you."
Qingxi: “…”
So, all the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps have a dog nose.
Qingxi, who felt a little excited today, wanted to drive people away. She wanted to be alone. At least, she didn't want to see Kyojuro, an honest man who couldn't even tell a lie, before tomorrow morning.
Rengoku Kyojuro: Even an honest person can be wrong when speaking the truth.jpg
Qingxi just wanted to stand up, but found that he was restrained by the young man.
She looked at the arms around her, then at the innocent-looking boy, and she immediately understood.
"Kyojuro, you did this on purpose," she said.
Rengoku Kyojuro: "Aki, don't be angry."
The owl, full of a sense of crisis, lowered its head, and its flame-colored, shoulder-length hair rubbed her face, making it itchy, just like a large owl acting coquettishly to you.
Qingxi: "..." No, no, no, no, she would never let this matter go just because the owl bowed to her.
