Chapter 453 Why Did You Appear at the Hojo Family's Dinner Table?

It was a Chinese sentence that made the girl like bitter melon.

Or rather, it was a person.

It was an autumn afternoon. She was in the sixth grade and had three friends. She was trying to get used to how to enjoy the joy of being a guest at her friends' house.

Although she had eaten at Kyosuke's house several times, although Aunt Mikiko was super friendly, and although she didn't know why Sakura would never miss a meal at the Hojo family's table, in short, Nozomi was still very reserved and unnatural when sitting at the table.

Not to mention that she kept eating while waiting for the meal like Sakura and Aunt Mikiko, she was even fidgeting while watching TV. She wanted to run to the kitchen to help countless times, but she was pressed on the sofa by the other two countless times, and her mouth was stuffed with refreshing appetizers.

"Nozomi, do you know that bitter melon is a very powerful food?"

Hearing this, Nishimiya Nozomi, who was reaching her chopsticks towards the stir-fried potato shreds, was stunned. Looking at the golden potato shreds that could be heard crackling without chewing, the little girl hesitated for a moment and took back her chopsticks, looking at Yamauchi Sakura in confusion.

If you ask her why she heard the crackling sound before the chopsticks picked up the potato shreds, it's embarrassing to say that two-thirds of the plate of stir-fried potato shreds had already gone into her stomach.

She was really reserved! But the dishes made by Hojo-kun were novel and delicious, and she really couldn't control her hands and mouth. Even if she covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes would uncontrollably drift towards the dish. Then her bowl would be magically filled with dishes, ah, it was really embarrassing.

But, but, that was made by Hojo-kun himself! Make it to treat me, Nitro Sauce!

However, the girl tasted all the dishes on the table, but missed the bitter melon that was praised by Yamauchi Sakura.

Bitter melon? Even a puppy would run away in fear if it smelled it!

This is not home. Even if I don't finish the bitter melon, Yuzuru won't be scolded by his mother for not eating bitter melon.

So, Nitsuko chose to say NO bravely!

Besides, Sakura seems to like it very much, so I'll give it all to her. I'll just eat the stir-fried potato shreds.

It's really delicious. Although the chili powder on it is a bit spicy, it's crispy and fragrant. After eating one bite, I want to eat another bite and can't stop at all. I'll ask Kyousuke later. I'll make it for him after I learn it!

In short, bitter melon is neither powerful nor delicious. Nitsuko can't understand it!

In response to Nitsuko's doubts, Yamauchi Sakura said:

"Don't pass on your own suffering to others"

She used Chinese for this sentence, no doubt, she learned it from someone.

Looking at the bitter melon cut into the shapes of ankylosaurs, triceratops, stegosaurus, etc. on the plate, Nitsuko repeated it in a low voice.

"Don't pass on your own suffering to others"

I don't know if it's due to the hearing defect since childhood or because of Kyousuke's teaching, Nitsuko is doing very well in imitating speech now. Whether it is English or Chinese, you can repeat it perfectly after hearing it once.

The most important thing is that Sakura's pronunciation is very standard.

The girl who sang the greatness of bitter melon picked up the sword on the back of the stegosaurus bitter melon with chopsticks and put it into her mouth to chew slowly.

Glass thought that since Sakura said that, she would definitely show a very enjoyable expression when eating bitter melon. But she didn't. She looked at Sakura's slender and delicate eyebrows wrinkled, curved into a vortex at the center of the eyebrows, and her mouth opened twice, the whole expression was funny and angry.

You still dare to say that bitter melon is great? Is it because bitter melon can make you grinning all day long without thinking? But from this perspective, bitter melon has indeed done something that many people can't do.

After all, Glass had seen Aunt Yamauchi drag Sakura away by her feet, who refused to leave the Hojo family. Even such an embarrassing thing could not make Sakura cry. Instead, she had the leisure to discuss the next day's breakfast with Kyosuke when she was dragged away, and bargained in various ways.

"No one can make Yamauchi Sakura cry", this is a widely circulated saying in Minato Elementary School.

And following this sentence is, "When you have the idea of ​​challenging this legend, Hojo Kyosuke's fist will fall on your face."

In short, Glass once again confirmed that bitter melon is really a disgusting food. Although it is great that it can make Sakura grin, it is still unpalatable!

Yamauchi Sakura over there, although grinning, is still chewing hard, instead of pinching her nose and drinking it in an instant like taking medicine.

Nishimiya Naoko was chewing the fragrant and crispy stir-fried potato shreds. The simplest satisfaction from food made her face full of happiness. In addition, she admired Sakura's strength and stubbornness, which made her so happy.

"Not passing on your own bitterness to others means not passing on your own bitterness to other things."

After Sakura finally finished eating, she began to explain the meaning of that sentence.

"But bitter melon is still very unpalatable." Naoko said sincerely.

"Yes, bitter melon itself is so bitter that it makes people want to cry, but whether it is bitter melon stewed with fish or bitter melon scrambled eggs, bitter melon will never pass on the bitterness to the other party. It's really great. Whether it is boiled or stir-fried, it tightly seals the bitterness in the body."

Naoko's chewing frequency slowed down.

"It will never let its own bitterness contaminate other ingredients. Instead, it will actively wrap the taste of other ingredients in itself."

Sakura's words continued, but Glass's mouth stopped moving. She felt that Sakura was not talking about bitter melon, but about something else.

She thought of her mother, herself, and her grandmother.

She turned her head and looked at Sakura, looking at those big bright yellow eyes as beautiful as amber, trying to find the answer inside.

She thought, Sakura was definitely not talking about herself. If Sakura falls down, she will immediately shout "Kyosuke, ambulance, ambulance, hurry up! Let doctors all over the country be on standby in the operating room!". Even if she wants to pretend to be strong, Kyousuke-kun will never agree to it. With their childhood sweethearts' understanding and tacit understanding of each other, they would never be able to hide their pain in their hearts.

It will definitely not be Kyousuke-kun. If Kyousuke-kun...Kyosuke-kun...

Glass's brain seemed to be short-circuited, and his thoughts were disconnected.

She originally wanted to say to Kyosuke-kun that if he had any pain or troubles, he would resolve and vent them as soon as possible. He would never hide them in his heart and leave his unhappiness until the next day, because that would affect his sleep.

Based on her limited understanding of Kyousuke-kun, she was a man who never knew how to compromise and make do, and it was absolutely impossible to make him give in.

Nishimiya Glass fully understood this on the first day he transferred to another school.

"Teacher, Mr. Ishida Shoya may have an intellectual problem. Why don't you send him to the hospital for a checkup as soon as possible?"

"Mr. Takeuchi! This kind of thing must be taken seriously. This is school bullying!"

"No, let's solve it now and let Shoya Ishida apologize to Nishimiya-san!"

"Is this your apology attitude? Look at me carefully. Didn't your mother teach you how to apologize? Look at me and bow!"

That tough voice still rings in Glass's mind, which is reassuring. Glass truly felt that human memory was a magical and beautiful existence. In fact, she was not able to hear Kyousuke-kun's voice very clearly at the time, but afterwards, everything at that time became extremely clear.

That's it. In Glass's subconscious mind, Kyousuke-kun is such a tough and reliable man. He will not hide the pain in his heart as cowardly as himself, but will definitely try his best to overcome the suffering.

But when she heard Sakura's words and looked at Sakura's eyes looking directly at Kyosuke-kun, she hesitated.

Is Kyousuke-kun born to be strong, or is his memory being embellished without permission?

He will always have sad moments, right? People can't only have a reliable side, they will always get hurt. What about when he is sad? Didn't she feel sad? Who can he talk to when he is sad?

Thinking of this, Glass suddenly felt suffocated.

Will that side be shown only to childhood sweethearts?

"Hey, Ni-chan, tell me, doesn't bitter melon feel bitter to him?"

A sudden voice interrupted Glass's thoughts. She looked at Kyosuke-kun who was eating bitterly with his head down, and then at Yamauchi Sakura who was tasting the bitter melon with his teeth bared again. It was the latter who spoke.

Oh, it turns out that Sakura has never seen Kyousuke-kun sad.

My restless heart suddenly calmed down, and my breathing became lighter.

Aware of the shameful joy in his heart, Glass felt that he was so despicable.

"What are you talking about? The sand in the Sahara Desert will feel that the air is too dry? You must eat all the bitter melon today!"

Hojo Kyosuke suddenly spoke and successfully rescued Nishimiya Glass from his moral dilemma.

Kyosuke-kun is not a bitter melon! If Kyousuke-kun were a bitter melon, I would try my best to like eating bitter melon!

While breathing a sigh of relief, the girl looked at Yamauchi Sakura, only to see that the other party did not refute at all, but turned to look at Hojo Mikiko for help without thinking.

"We're not filming a food variety show, so you can't treat food like a toy. Eat it obediently. Kyosuke said bitter melon is good for your body and can fight cancer and wrinkles."

Unfortunately, Yamauchi Sakura's good friend did not help her this time.

Feeling guilty because of that shameful secret joy, Glass was soft-hearted and wanted to lend a helping hand when he heard Aunt Miyoko say in surprise:

"Wait a minute, since it has anti-wrinkle effects, applying bitter melon on your face should be better than cucumber?"

"Isn't that certain?" Hojo Kyosuke replied immediately.

The affirmative reply made one woman and two girls widen their eyes.

"If you apply cucumber on your face, you will eat it before the cucumber has a hydrating effect. But using bitter melon can prevent this from happening."

Hojo Kyosuke unceremoniously broke his mother's fantasy.

"Ah~ Kyosuke, that's too much. How can you say that to your mother? In front of Sakura and Ni-chan, are you happy to see your mother embarrassed?"

Hojo Mikiko complained dissatisfiedly. When she spoke, her right index finger was touching her son's face, pushing his head back and forth.

When Nishimiya Glass saw Kyousuke-kun's tragic situation, she felt distressed and wanted to explain that she would never look at her aunt in a different light because of this incident. No, it's not that I'm impressed, it's that I look at it differently. That’s not right. In short, I will never think that Aunt Mijiko is a greedy glutton who won’t grow up because of this incident...

Well……

Anyway, don’t poke Kyosuke-kun in the face! Don't disturb his meal!

Before Ni-chan could organize her words, she heard Sakura Yamauchi speaking over there.

Great, Sakura has such a good relationship with Aunt Mikiko, she will surely be able to coax her into a good mood in an instant.

"Kyosuke, you dare to say that? Aunt Mikiko secretly ate the cucumber slices for facial mask because you didn't prepare cucumbers for her! If I was already full and couldn't eat anymore, how could I have secretly eaten!"

Hearing these righteous words, Glass widened her eyes and opened her mouth. Moreover, it sounds like Aunt Mikiko is not the only one who would steal.

"Yes, Sakura is still reasonable." Hojo Mikiko nodded repeatedly, raised her left hand and touched Yamauchi Sakura's head, making a yo yo yo sound.

Reasonable? Is it the reason of Yamauchi Sakura's kingdom?

Although Nishimiya Glass couldn't figure out how this could be called reasonable, she understood why Yamauchi Sakura never missed the Hojo family's dinner table.

Looking at the three people who started to quarrel, the girl inexplicably thought of her own home.

Although my mother and Aunt Mikiko are two completely different types of people, they are exactly the same as mothers.

Both are the best mothers.

No matter how hard or tired my mother is at work, she will never say a word at home. The only "cosmetics" she has ever bought is hand cream. Although my mother is very strict, she definitely does not impose her misfortune on me, but wants to teach me what she relies on to survive in this society.

Aunt Mikiko, although she will whine when there is more than an hour before dinner time, "Kyosuke, dinner, dinner is not ready yet, if you don't eat, mom will starve to death", but Nishiko deeply knows how difficult it is to take care of a child alone. At least my grandmother will help at home, but Aunt Mikiko relies on herself.

Mom is bitter melon, and Aunt Mikiko is also bitter melon.

Nishiko turned her head and looked at the helpless boy.

Kyosuke is also bitter melon!

Now, all she can feel from Kyosuke-kun is the sweetness that makes her happy, like honey. She knows that this is because she cannot wrap the freshness of fish on her body like bitter melon does, without passing on her own bitterness.

If I really see Kyosuke-kun sad, I am afraid I can do nothing but feel even sadder.

I, Nishimiya Naoko, will not cry! I don’t want to stay by his side because I am greedy for the sweetness of Kyosuke-kun’s honey. I want the sweet sense of security, and I will also taste the pain when he is sad!

Naoko-chan will become strong, so that Kyosuke-kun will feel that Naoko-chan is reliable, and feel that he can talk to me with confidence even if he is sad!

Naoko-chan will try to like bitter melon!
