He took a deep breath, hid behind the wall, and peeked out to see the little girl from that morning leaning on the railing, staring blankly out.
"Hello!"
Hearing the sound, the little girl turned her head and her eyes fell on Sanjiao Chuxia. Her eyes widened slightly, as if she was a little surprised.
"You're...the guy from this morning?"
Sanjiao Chuxia nodded, walked quickly to the railing, and raised the fruit basket in her hand.
"Yes, it's me." He said with a smile, his tone very warm. "Welcome to our island. I brought some fruit and I'd like you to try it."
The little girl looked at the fruit basket, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She reached out her hand, gently took the basket, and looked down at the fruit inside.
“It looks delicious.”
"This is something we grow on our island. It's very fresh. Take it home and try it."
She nodded, a bright smile on her face.
"Thank you. My name is Toyokawa Shoko, what's yours?"
"My name is Sanjiao Chuxia!" he said excitedly. "You can call me Xia. Everyone in the village calls me that because my name is pronounced the same as my sister's."
"Chuxia, what a nice name."
Toyokawa Shoko whispered his name. Her voice was beautiful, the most beautiful voice Sanjiao Hatsuka had ever heard, except for her sister and mother.
"Then...can I call you Xiaoxiang?" he asked tentatively in a low voice.
"Sure." Shoko Toyokawa nodded slightly.
"Great!"
"Xia, do you often come here to play?"
"I come here occasionally, but this time I came here specifically to look for Xiaoxiang."
Sanjiao Chuxia's straightforward words made her a little shy, and a faint blush appeared on her delicate little face like a porcelain doll.
"What do you want to see me for?"
"Because I want to make friends with Xiaoxiang!" There was a hint of anticipation in his tone.
"My mom told me that you guys are from Tokyo, Xiaoxiang. I've never been to Tokyo before. Can you tell me about what's going on there?"
"Okay, come in and sit down, I'll tell you slowly."
Toyokawa Shoko smiled, turned around and led him into the villa. Sanjiao Hatsuka followed behind her, her eyes involuntarily looking around.
The interior decoration of the villa is luxurious and elegant, with exquisite oil paintings hanging on the walls, soft carpets on the floor, and a faint fragrance in the air.
The two came to the living room, and Shoko Toyokawa motioned him to sit down, and then asked the butler to bring tea and snacks.
"Has Xia lived on this island since childhood?"
Sanjiao Chuxia nodded: "Yes, I grew up here since I was a child."
"It's wonderful. I've always lived in the city and have never seen such a beautiful sea and sky."
Although it sounds a bit Versailles, this is actually what Shoko Toyokawa really thinks.
After all, she is still a child. Compared to the conveniences of life that adults have to worry about, she now prefers beautiful scenery and an environment where she can play freely.
"If you like, I can take you around the island," he said. "I know a lot of fun places, like picking up shells on the beach and seeing the most beautiful sunset on the top of the mountain."
Toyokawa Shoko's eyes lit up.
"Really? That's great!"
Looking at her excitement, Sanjiao Chuxia felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in his heart.
"Then it's a deal. I'll take you to collect shells tomorrow. But in exchange, you have to tell me about Tokyo today."
"Thank you, Xia, you are such a good person."
At this moment, Sanjiao Chuxia's stomach made a "gurgling" sound. He was stunned for a moment, then touched his stomach awkwardly, a blush creeping up his cheeks.
"Oh... sorry." He said in a low voice, looking a little embarrassed.
In order to arrive earlier, Sanjiao Chuxia went to pick fruits with a basket without even having a full meal.
When Shoko Toyokawa heard the voice, she was a little confused at first, but after seeing his actions, she realized what was happening and couldn't help laughing.
Her laughter was clear and melodious, like wind chimes swaying gently in the breeze.
"Have some snacks first, and then I'll tell you about Tokyo."
"Ah."
Sanjiao Hatsuxia picked up a caramel donut from the table, put it to her mouth and took a bite, and the familiar sweetness spread in her mouth.
Hmm? Why does it smell so familiar to me? [1]
Before he could think of an answer, Shoko Toyokawa began to talk about things in Tokyo.
"Tokyo is a very lively place. There are tall buildings everywhere, people coming and going on the streets, and when the neon lights come on at night, the whole city is like a city that never sleeps."
Sanjiao Chuxia listened attentively, her eyes full of longing.
"That sounds amazing!" he said. "So what does Xiaoxiang usually do in Tokyo?"
The other party smiled and began to talk excitedly.
"I usually go shopping with my mother. There are many shopping malls in Tokyo that have everything," she said with a hint of excitement in her tone.
"There are also amusement parks. I like going to Disneyland the most. There are so many fun rides and the fireworks show is so beautiful."
He was stunned by what he heard. All kinds of names he had never heard of entered his mind, as if the door to a new world had opened.
"Dion? What's that?"
"You don't even know Disney?" Toyokawa Shoko was surprised he didn't know. "It's the most famous amusement park in the world. There's Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and lots of other characters from cartoons."
Sanjiao Chuxia scratched his head and showed an embarrassed smile on his face.
"We don't have these things here. I've never heard of them."
"It's okay, I'll take you there when I have the chance."
She patted her small chest with a confident smile on her face.
Toyokawa Shoko continued to tell Mikado Hatsuka all kinds of interesting things about Tokyo. She told him how crowded the Tokyo subway was, how delicious the street food was, and her favorite cartoons and music.
Sanjiao Chuxia was so engrossed in listening that he felt as if he were already in that bustling city. He found that Xiangzi was not only lovely, but also knew everything and could do everything. Every word she said filled him with novelty and excitement.
"Xiangzi, you are really amazing!" He couldn't help but sigh, "You know so much."
"That's because I live in Tokyo."
The two chatted for a long time, from the scenery of the island to their own lives, the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. Sanjiao Hatsuka discovered that although Toyokawa Shoko was of noble birth, she had a very bad character.
Time passed quickly, the sun gradually set, and the afterglow of the sunset shone on the windows of the villa, dyeing the entire room golden.
"Ah, it's so late. I have to go back, otherwise Xiaochu and mom will worry." Sanjiao Chuxia stood up from the sofa, her tone full of reluctance.
Toyokawa Shoko also stood up with a regretful expression on her face.
"Thank you for coming to play with me today. See you tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll take you to the beach to pick up shells tomorrow afternoon."
"Ok!"
He turned and left the villa, running home eagerly.
………………
Sanjiao Chuxia opened the door with an excited smile on her face.
"Xiaochu, I'm back!" he shouted loudly, his tone very excited.
Sanjiao Chuhua poked his head out of the kitchen and was stunned when he saw his appearance.
"Where have you been? Why are you back so late?"
"I went to play with the young lady from the Toyokawa family," Sanka Hatsuka replied. "Her name is Toyokawa Shoko. She's very nice and even treated me to some snacks."
Hearing his words, a complex emotion welled up in her heart.
"You... went to find her?" Sanjiao Chuhua asked in a low voice, with a hint of uneasiness in his voice.
Sanjiao Chuxia nodded, still with an excited smile on her face.
"Yes! Xiaoxiang is so cute, she knows everything and can do everything. She also told me a lot about Tokyo. Xiaochu, why don't you come and play with us?"
As he spoke, he waved his hands and seemed to be in a very good mood.
Sanjiao Chuhua listened quietly, the complicated emotions in his heart becoming stronger and stronger.
She also wanted to go out and play with Toyokawa Shoko, but her mother repeatedly told her not to go see her, otherwise it would only bring misfortune to both of them.
"If I don't go, Xia, you can't go either."
She knew that Toyokawa Shoko was her niece, her biological father's granddaughter. They had similar bloodlines, but lived in completely different worlds.
"Why? That's weird. We agreed to go to the beach to pick up shells tomorrow, and I can't break it!"
Sanjiao Chuhua's fingers trembled slightly, and the sourness in his heart almost overflowed.
She was a little jealous that her brother could go and play with Toyokawa Shoko so freely, a little jealous that her biological niece lived a carefree life as a young lady, and... jealous that Toyokawa Shoko was so liked by Mikado Hatsuka.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't even integrate into this family and could only be taken care of by his gentle brother and father...
"Xiaochu, what's wrong with you?" Sanjiao Chuxia noticed her abnormality and asked with concern.
Hearing his voice, Sanjiao Chuhua came back to his senses, shook his head, and forced a smile on his face.
"I'm fine..."
Seeing her like this, Sanjiao Chuxia frowned, then quickly returned to her original expression.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Has mom prepared dinner yet?"
"Well, Mom just wanted me to go out and look for you."
"Then let's go eat. I'm starving."
He smiled gently at Sanjiao Chuhua, but a plan began to brew in his mind.
………………
[1] The answer is that the flavor material is automatically used in the dream. Xiaoxiang’s snack is donuts because there is no other material in the brain.
P.S. If there are any problems with the logic of the characters' language, I can just use the excuse that they are all still children (
If something is said that doesn't fit the image of a child, just use the excuse that it's a dream (
ps2: The more I write, the more I feel the original logical basis. I can be fascinated by it without even seeing it.
Chapter 106 I Want to Suck Xiaoxiang's Feet (
The next afternoon, the sun shone on the sea, making the waves sparkle like countless diamonds. Mikado Hatsuka walked side by side with Toyokawa Shoko on the beach, the soft sand beneath their feet and the gentle lapping of waves against the shore and rocks in their ears.
There are many shells scattered on the beach, sparkling in the sunlight.
"This is it, Xiaoxiang." He spread his arms as if introducing his territory. "The tide is often high here, so a lot of shells are washed up here."
"Yeah, really."
Toyokawa Shoko squatted down and gently picked up a shell exposed on the sand. The shell's surface was light brown with evenly distributed textures, and it didn't look outstanding.
"Yours is just an ordinary shell. They are too lazy to pick up those. Let me pick one up and show you."
As he spoke, Sanjiao Chuxia also squatted down and began to carefully search for shells. His movements were skillful and he soon found a white shell from under the sand.
He gently wiped away the sand on it with his hand, revealing its spotless white surface, and then handed it to Toyokawa Shoko.
"Look, this shell is very beautiful, just like a small white fan."
She took the shell, looked at it carefully for a while, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"It really looks great! Thank you, Xia!"
"You're welcome. Let's keep looking. Maybe we can find something prettier."
