    "Brother Aoba, are you still sleeping?" As the sun began to set, Maki Uesugi's voice came from the next room.  "I'm already awake. Maki-san, are you awake too?" Aoba was lying on the tatami floor, with the afternoon sunlight outside the window shining on her body, making her feel warm and comfortable.  Because neither Aoba nor Uesugi Maki closed the door, the two people in the adjacent room could hear each other while lying on the tatami and talking.  "Well, I woke up. It's really comfortable to take a nap in the sun. You don't even need to cover yourself with a quilt." Uesugi Maki replied while stretching, but she was still lying on the tatami.  , I have no intention of getting up at all.  "This is called using the sky as your bed and the earth as your bed!" Qingye said with the same smile. Although Qingye knew the current state of the two of them, he really couldn't use this statement. After all, the two of them were in the house.  It's not in the wild, but I still said it like this. After all, it feels more interesting this way.  "That's right, brother Aoba is so right, so we must not let this wonderful time go by and let me sleep again!" As soon as Maki Uesugi finished speaking, Aoye heard her voice.  The neighbor turned over and seemed to be going to sleep again.  "Would you like to go back to sleep? Is it really okay to just sleep like this all afternoon?" Aoba said rather speechlessly.  "What's wrong? The weather is so suitable for sleeping. If you don't sleep, wouldn't it be a waste? Go to sleep. Go to sleep. Don't waste your time!" Uesugi Maki's voice became lower and lower, and it seemed that she really wanted to  Fell asleep.  "From a normal perspective, sleeping in broad daylight is a waste of time, right? But I don't hate this kind of waste." Aoba listened to Uesugi Maki's voice getting lower and lower, and his own voice gradually became lower.  Go down.  Just like that, the two people, separated only by a thin wall, fell asleep again.  Then the afternoon passed quietly in the sleep of the two of them.  When the two of them really got up from the tatami floor and walked out of the house, it was already dinner time.  Looking at the fiery red sun that has hung in the western sky, emitting the last afterglow before sunset, Aoba and Uesugi Maki walked towards the dining hall.  "Why do I always feel like I just finished lunch. I'm not hungry at all!" Uesugi Maki said while sighing and rubbing her stomach.  "I slept all afternoon and haven't digested all my lunch yet. How could I feel hungry so quickly?" Aoba said unceremoniously.  "It's true what Brother Aoba said, so what should I do? Don't go to dinner? But if you don't eat, grandpa will be angry, right? But if you eat, if there are leftovers, grandpa will be angry too, right?" Uesugi  Maki frowned as she muttered to herself, with a depressed look on her face.  "I'm really convinced by you. That's good. I'll eat what you can't finish. Before Miss Sato finishes serving the food and starts eating, you can give me the portion that you can't eat." Aoye looked at Uesugi Maki.  With a frown on his face, he could only shake his head and said.  "Oh, brother Aoye is indeed a good man. No wonder he found two such beautiful girlfriends." Uesugi Maki suddenly flashed her big eyes and started to send good guy cards to Aoye.  "Okay, stop saying a few words! We are almost there." Aoye looked at Uesugi Maki, helpless and could only remain silent.  And seeing that the dining hall was already in front of her, Uesugi Maki stopped talking.  In this way, the two of them entered the dining hall in silence. A moment later, as Miss Sato served dinner, another silent dinner began.  It¡¯s just that before Uesugi Maki started eating, she divided Aoba¡¯s half of the rice in her bowl while no one was paying attention.  Then he reluctantly ate the rest.  By the time Aoba not only ate his own portion, he also ate half of the portion that Uesugi Maki gave him. As expected, Aoba could eat any amount of food.  The only difference is whether you want to eat it or not.  In this way, Aoba and Uesugi Maki, who had finished dinner, said goodbye again and left the dining hall.  As if staying in that environment for even a second was a torment, Uesugi Maki let out a sigh of relief as soon as she left the dining hall.  "Sister Maki, I saw that you were very nervous when you gave me the meal just now. Are you afraid of being scolded?" Aoye said with a smile as he saw Uesugi Maki finally relaxed.  "Aren't you afraid, brother Aoba?" Uesugi Maki looked at Aoba carefully.  After thinking about it again, I found that Aoba didn't seem as nervous as himself when facing Yuichiro Uesugi.  "Why should I be afraid?" Qingye asked with a smile.  ? ??Isn¡¯t Brother Qingye nervous?  Facing grandpa like that?  "Maki Uesugi recalled the appearance of her grandfather Yuichiro Uesugi, and immediately couldn't help but shuddered. "Maybe for sister Maki, grandpa is indeed a very scary person!  But this kind of fear is based on the pressure that grandpa has brought to you every day since you were a child!  But for me.  Grandpa is just an elder whom I don¡¯t know very well but is related by blood. Why should I be afraid of him?  "Qingye smiled and said. "So that's the case. It's true when you think about it. I really envy you, brother Qingye.  "Uesugi Maki pointed her chin with her finger. "Why do you envy me?  "Aoba looked at Uesugi Maki and asked. "I envy my brother Aoba that he didn't have to come here all the time when he was a kid!  Although my home was not here at that time, I always stayed here for a lot of time a year.  Especially during the winter and summer vacations, my grandfather really left a deep psychological shadow on me at that time!  " Uesugi Maki thought of her childhood spent here, and she burst into tears. "No way, is grandpa that terrible?  " Qingye shook his head amusedly and said. "Maybe now I think that grandpa is just an old man who is a little too serious, but in the eyes of a child, grandpa at that time was really able to scare me so much that I didn't even dare to cry.  .  " Uesugi Maki sighed for a while when she mentioned the past. "So that's it. It was really a tragic thing. But the time Maki-sister spent here, I think there should be more than just bad things, right?  " Qingye smiled and said. "Yes, some good things did happen at that time!  For me, who is studying and living in Tokyo, being able to come to my hometown in the countryside to live for a period of time every holiday feels like a vacation to my friends!  And I have indeed gained a lot of knowledge here and made some very good friends. Except for the occasional fear when I see my grandpa, the rest of the time here is really interesting!  Whether it¡¯s exploring the complex with friends you¡¯ve met in the village.  Or follow those friends to play in the nearby mountains.  "Uesugi Maki said with a smile with a recalling expression on her face. At this time, the expression on Uesugi Maki's face was no longer the unbearable look back on the past when she mentioned her grandfather, but a memory full of nostalgia. "What about now?  Do your friends still live in the village?  "Qingye asked curiously. "Of course not. They have all left the village and gone to live in big cities.  Otherwise, I would have already gone to look for them as soon as I arrived here. This may be one of the reasons why I am gradually becoming less and less willing to come back here, because there are fewer and fewer people and things worth remembering.  "Uesugi Maki said with a long sigh. "People and things in the world are constantly changing, and nothing is eternal.  Even if everything is good, it will eventually pass. People still have to live in the present. As for the things that have passed, just treasure them in memory.  "Aoye comforted Uesugi Maki and said. "I know, brother Aoye, there is no need to comfort me, my sister is not that fragile. Well, it's getting dark soon, let's go back to the room quickly!  After a while it's time to start our evening operations.  "Uesugi Maki looked at the sun that had set over the mountain, then looked at the time and said. "Action at night?  Are you sure we really want to go?  Breaking into the temple at night?  "Aoye finally looked at Uesugi Maki with a look of determination. "Of course I'm going.  Brother Qingye, aren't you shrinking back now?  "Uesugi Maki looked at Aoba with suspicious eyes. "I just want to remind you one last time. There may be danger there.  "Qingye shrugged and said. "What danger will there be? It's nothing more than a legend!  "Uesugi Maki said with a look of disdain. "Okay, if you are sure, that's fine.  "Qingye shrugged again and said. "And even if something happens, brother Qingye will protect his sister, right?  "Uesugi Maki looked at Aoba with a half-smile, and her expression was obviously making fun of Aoba. "Of course, since I'm following you, wouldn't I be very embarrassed if something happens to you again?  "Aoba nodded and said with a smile, but what Aoba said was not a joke at all. Instead, he was extremely serious. Unfortunately, Uesugi Maki didn't understand this at all, and only thought Aoba was joking like her.  "Then leave everything to Brother Qingye.  "So Uesugi Maki continued jokingly. "You've said that, what else can I do?  Leave it to me.  "Aoye agreed with some helplessness. He knew that Uesugi Maki was joking, but Aoye could only take it seriously. Who said she was Aoba's sister, even if she was notShe is a biological sister, but she is also the sister of her uncle's family. There is no way Aoba would watch her have an accident in front of her eyes.  In this way, the two people returned to their respective rooms.  And like in the afternoon, they opened the doors of the two adjacent rooms, each sitting or lying on the tatami in their own room in a relaxed posture, admiring the afterglow of the sunset while continuing to chat.  But the content of the chat is diverse, endless and messy.  "It would be great if I could have a cup of tea at this time!" Looking at the setting sun, Aoba suddenly remembered the tea made by Kitagawa Xiangzi, and said with some emotion.  "Brother Aoba, do you want some tea? I have it here." Uesugi Maki said.  Just when Aoye was surprised, Uesugi Maki had already stretched out an arm from the next room and threw a bottle of green tea towards Aoye.  Aoye raised his hand to catch the bottle of green tea. Seeing that the bottle in his hand was exactly the bottled tea bought in a convenience store, he felt a little dumbfounded for a moment, but in the end he could only thank Uesugi Maki for her kindness.  "Thank you Maki-sensei, but at this time I still want to drink a cup of freshly brewed hot tea." Aoba said while shaking his head.  "The tea you just brewed? Is there any difference? Doesn't it taste the same? And you don't have to wait for bottled tea to cool down before drinking it, you can drink it directly." Uesugi Maki obviously didn't understand Aoba's thoughts.  In Uesugi Maki's view, whether it is brewed tea or bottled tea, since they are both tea and the taste is similar, what is the difference?  Well, that's right, at least when Uesugi Maki drinks it, bottled tea and brewed tea taste the same, and bottled tea doesn't have to be as hot as brewed tea to be unpalatable, so as far as Uesugi Maki is concerned, she is  People who prefer bottled tea to brewed tea.  "Well, the taste is actually different." Faced with Uesugi Maki's opinion, Aoba didn't know how to answer for a while. If Japanese bottled tea is like Chinese bottled tea, it is different from brewed tea.  The taste is very different, so there is no need to tell the green leaves like this!  But the key point is that Japanese bottled tea is completely different from Chinese bottled tea. Chinese bottled tea is basically sweetened with sugar added. Not to mention which one is better, at least it tastes very different from brewed tea.  different. ????????????????? But Japanese bottled tea is light and has no added sugar, which means there isn¡¯t much difference in taste between bottled tea and freshly brewed tea.  So even for green leaves, it¡¯s hard to tell the difference in taste between bottled tea and brewed tea.  "Is there any difference? When I drink it, it tastes the same!" Uesugi Maki said.  "Okay, let's just think they're almost ready." For a moment, Aoba didn't bother to argue, so he simply unscrewed the bottle of tea and took a sip.  Sure enough, in Aoye's mouth, you can still tell the subtle taste difference between bottled tea and freshly brewed tea, but this difference cannot be described in words, so Aoye simply stopped talking about it.  "Brother Aoba, do you want some refreshments here?" Maki Uesugi's arm stretched out from the next room again, holding several small bags of daifuku cakes in her hand.  "Yes, thank you." Qingye simply took the big fortune cakes and replied.  In this way, the two of them began to enjoy tea and snacks while enjoying the afterglow of the sunset, just like what Aoba did with Kitagawa Kouko when Aoba was still in the apartment.  The only difference is that at that time Aoba drank the tea brewed by Kitagawa Koko herself, and ate the refreshments made by Kitagawa Koko herself!  But now Qingye drinks bottled tea and eats snacks packaged in small bags.  (~^~)
