In this world, there are too many things that we can't do anything about.

When Xia Xiong returned home, it was exactly at noon, and the taxi took him home from the station. I don’t know how many miles he traveled, but the taxi fare was as expensive as ever.But this year, he has been working part-time. Although he is also busy with his studies, he has a lot of free time in university life.

Half for study and half for part-time work.

In the two years of living alone away from the family, even if the bank card stuffed by the family, the number is gradually increasing every month.Last month, the deposit that he considered unusable finally crossed the 300 million yen mark.

If he was just an ordinary college student who likes to be happy, he would probably have spent his days outside with this huge sum of money.Replace the narrow student dormitory with a high-end apartment in Seguda, drive a super cool sports car out of the school gate every day, and take the girl you like to spend the day and make money.

But he is not.

From the office, the money related to that man will be sent by the accountant every month, like spider silk, no matter where you go, as long as you use it, you will feel that you are still bound by that man.

Even though working while studying is really hard, living alone makes him look like a busy worker ant in a world without any shadows, but he can breathe in the relaxed and free air just for this reason, He will also give up everything he has.

But, he still can't leave the family.

Looking at the single-family traditional house in front of me, I stretched out my hand and opened the door. The purpose of entering is a path specially created by a few stones embedded in the ground.In the place that can be called the real entrance, plants with ornamental value such as phoenix bamboo are planted, and other places are made by famous landscapers.

But in this family, no one has the time and thought to appreciate beauty.

And this exquisite residence built by money and power is also full of all kinds of indifference and unforgettable memories.

Xia Xiong changed into slippers at the entrance, Nuo Da's house was silent, the servant was dismissed after the woman was hospitalized, and the one who took care of the house became a young sister.

"I am back."

He went to the room with a bag of change of clothes. He didn't have many things, and he didn't plan to stay for a long time.This place is not suitable for him to stay. The layout of the bedroom he lived in before has not changed. The windows of the room are open, and the floor is clean without dust.

Xia Xiong looked at the football posters on the wall that were not torn clean, took off his coat and threw it on the bed, and went out of the bedroom again.No one seemed to be in the house, but he knew it couldn't be.Rolling up the sleeves while walking, there is a busy figure in the kitchen, Dongmei has already prepared the meal.

Seeing the figure of his younger brother, he couldn't help but yelled. "Xia Xiong, I thought you would come back at night." But she still prepared a lot of food, and Xia Xiong picked up the things and went to the Japanese room where he usually eats.

Thick egg yaki, croquette, mackerel, tempura, chawanmushi and miso soup.

I don't know if it was prepared for his own return. In his memory, this sister has always paid attention to life, or rather, she was forced to start paying attention to life.In this broken family, trying to maintain that bit of warmth, rituals and formalities seems to be a life-saving straw. On the Twitter that has many friends following, the other party has been creating such an illusion.

But this home is already like this.

There were only the two of them in the Japanese room where they were eating, and in Nuo Da's room, on the cold tatami mats, the rules of the previous meal were still maintained.

"Where's the scorch?"

Today was the weekend, and it was rare for him to pick this time to come back. By the way, he could also see his brother who had become completely paranoid after entering puberty.

As rich as this family is, there are many children in this family.

There was another child above him, but the boy known as the big brother disappeared unknowingly, and he didn't know the exact date of disappearance. He only knew that one day when he came back from the boarding school, Miss Dongmei held him He said his brother was gone.

I have thought about running away from home countless times, but I have never really implemented it once.Because he has not received any expectations, so his life is not so tiring.

The missing brother has a nice name called Touya, and as the eldest son, he is expected by everyone in the family.There used to be a saying that first-time parents show their all, good and bad, to their first child.And after the elder brother was three years old, he showed the same strength as the man called father, and he might have seen himself when he was young as expected.

And the sister Fuyumi who was born later was the first girl in this family. Even if she didn't have great power, she got a lot of love because of her gender.The two immature parents seem to have learned how to love a child, not to mention the lovely princess in this family who almost occupies all the mother's care.Even at a very young age, you can see that the relationship between your parents is not good, and there is nothing wrong with getting close to a child who looks like yourself and is not aggressive.

And then as the third child born, is myself.

The father is full of expectations for his eldest son, while the mother who has a bad relationship with her husband devotes herself to raising her daughter.The third son did not inherit a strong personality, and he was somewhat similar to that man. Under the care of the servant, he could only try to get more attention by doing naughty things every day, but the only thing he provoked was "what are you messing with?" Classy words and indifferent eyes.

I don’t know how old he was, but he completely gave up the idea of ​​gaining attention, and no longer restrained his temper. Many people are saying that that person has a personality like ice but has a personality that bursts like flames. He really is the son of that hero. .

However, I am a good-for-nothing, a useless guy, and I am not expected.

Before high school, more titles were 'Andeva's son', followed by hypocritical and exhausting relationships.

No matter how you escape, you can't escape this relationship.

He envied his eldest brother and sister a lot of the time, and later envied his youngest brother even more.No matter how rebellious he is, what he desires in his heart is love, but the more he grows up, the more he realizes the embarrassment in this family.

Then also had to recognize the reality.

And when the family really collapsed, the eldest brother ran away from the house. After the police searched in vain, the woman started to have mental problems after the hysterical madness, and the man's eyes turned to the last birth, but he was very concerned about everything. A child who knows nothing.

After visiting a friend's house countless times, he was greeted with caring, and when he tasted the raccoon-shaped cookies made by his friends and family, he finally realized a problem.

-their family, very strange.

"I heard that there is an event in the school, so why not go to Iwate? Dad is also busy with work, so I probably won't be able to come back tonight." Dongmei said with some regret, it was rare for Xia Xiong to come back.

The sadness on his face is real.

But Xia Xiong heaved a sigh of relief. If that man came back, he would definitely have an argument with him again.But this older sister hopes that they can live in harmony. She still retains her previous innocence, thinking that their family can be reconciled as before.

But, do they really have a beginning?

"I heard that sister, you are learning flower arrangement, didn't you go to class today?"

Sister Dongmei graduated from a women's university two years ago, and has never been out since then. It seems that taking care of the family is her life.Every time he hears the other party mention what he is going to do, he will feel a little happy

but.

Fuyumi shook her head and smiled embarrassedly. "I found that I may not be suitable." The chopsticks fiddled with the rice grains in the bowl, she was like a flower that can only bloom in a greenhouse.

As long as there is a little wind, it may be broken.

Although, the money earned by that man is enough for her to live for a lifetime, after which she may get married and live with another person.But he always felt that his sister was deeply controlled by this family, thinking about everything that happened in this family all the time.

The woman's frailty also seemed to slowly breed more terrifying things in her body through DNA.

"Speaking of which, my sister also said that the previous pottery art was not suitable."

What should he say to her? Living alone outside for two years has allowed him to see a lot that he didn't see because of the closed environment.But still, I can't find the right words to communicate.

There is a line between the two, two distinct worlds.

Dongmei smiled reluctantly, she didn't really want to talk about this. "Xiaxiong, you are in Tokyo..."

When she could almost guess what the other party was going to ask, the doorbell rang outside, and Fuyumi stood up, inexplicably relieved when she went out.

When Xia Xiong put down the bowl and chopsticks, no matter how delicious the food was, he couldn't swallow it, time seemed to freeze in this space, making him feel suffocated for no reason.

- want to get out of here.

I also want my sister and brother to escape from this house and that man together.

There were flustered footsteps in the corridor, he raised his head and looked over, Dongmei grabbed the sliding door and slid to sit on the ground, with tears overflowing from her eyes, she said in a trembling voice.

"Xia Xiong, dad... dad... he..."

- He wants an ordinary and ordinary family.
