"Brother Aoba, are you still sleeping?" As the sun began to set, Uesugi Maki's voice came from the next room.

"I've woken up, Sister Maki, are you awake too?" Qingye lay on the tatami floor, and the afternoon sun shone on her body outside the window, which was very warm and comfortable.

Because neither Aoba nor Uesugi Maki had any connection with closing the door, the two people next to the room were lying on the tatami and could hear each other.

"Well, I woke up and took a nap in the sun, which is very comfortable. I don't even need to cover the quilt." Uesugi Maki replied while stretching his waist, but he was still lying on the tatami, and there was no point in getting up.

"This is called using the sky as the quilt as the quilt as the ground!" Qingye said with a smile. Although Qingye knew that his current state was really impossible to get involved in this statement. After all, they were in the house rather than in the wild, but they still said it. After all, it felt more interesting.

"That's right, Brother Aoba is right, so we must not let this wonderful time down, let me sleep again!" As soon as Uesugi Maki finished speaking, Aoba heard her turning over next door, as if she was about to fall asleep again.

"Are you going back to your sleep? Is it really good to just fall asleep in the afternoon?" Qingye said speechlessly.

"What's wrong with it? It's such a suitable weather for sleeping. Wouldn't it be a waste if you don't sleep? Go to bed quickly, don't waste time!" Uesugi Maki's voice became lower and lower, and it seemed that he was really going to fall 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 voice gradually became lower.

In this way, two people, who were only separated by a not-thick wall, fell asleep again.

Then this afternoon, it was true that they passed by their sleep quietly.

When the two of them actually got up from the tatami floor in the room and walked out of the house, it was already dinner time.

Looking at the fiery red sunshine that was already hanging in the west, emitting the last afterglow before the settling mountain, Aoye and Uesugi Maki walked towards the canteen.

"Why do you always feel like you've just finished lunch? You're not hungry at all!" Uesugi Maki said while rubbing her stomach with anger.

"I slept for a while, and I hadn't digested all the lunch. How could I feel hungry so quickly!" Qingye said without hesitation.

"Brother Aoye said this, so what should I do? I won't go to eat for dinner? But if I don't go to eat, my grandfather will be angry, right? But if I go to eat, my grandfather will be angry, right?" Uesugi Maki frowned to himself, and looked depressed and worried.

"I really admire you. This is better. I'll eat what you can't finish. Before Miss Sato finishes serving and starts eating, you can give me the uneasy part of it." Aoye looked at Maki Uesugi and shook her head and said.

"Oh, Brother Aoba is indeed a good man. No wonder he was able to find two such beautiful girlfriends." Uesugi Maki flashed his big eyes and began to send a good man card to Aoba.

"Okay, let's say a few words! We're almost here." Aoba looked at Uesugi Maki's appearance, and had no choice but to remain silent.

When Uesugi Maki, who saw the canteen was approaching, he stopped talking.

In this way, the two of them entered the cafeteria in silence. After a moment, as Miss Sato delivered dinner, another silent dinner began.

But before Uesugi Maki started eating, he divided half of the rice in his bowl while no one was paying attention. Then he barely ate the rest.

At that time, Aoba not only ate all his portion, but also ate the half that Uesugi Maki gave him. Sure enough, Aoba can eat as much food, the difference is whether she wants to eat it or not.

After dinner, Aoba and Uesugi Maki said goodbye and left the canteen again.

It seemed as if it was a torment in that environment that hadn't been in the first second, Uesugi Maki breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he left the canteen.

"Sister Maki, I see that you were so nervous when you gave me food just now. Are you afraid of being scolded?" Aoba looked at Uesugi Maki's appearance that finally relaxed at this time and said with a smile.

"Aren't Brother Aoye afraid?" Uesugi Maki looked at Aoye carefully. After thinking about it, he found that when Aoye was facing Uesugi Yuichiro, he seemed not as nervous as he was.

"Why am I afraid?" Qingye asked with a smile.

"Aren't Brother Aoye nervous? Facing grandpa like that?" Uesugi Maki recalled the appearance of grandpa Uesugichiro, and couldn't help but shivered.

"Maybe for Sister Maki, my grandfather is indeed a very terrifying person! However, this kind of terror is based on the pressure brought to you by my grandfather from childhood to adulthood! But for me, my grandfather is just an elder who is not familiar but has blood relationships. Why should I be afraid of him?" Qingye said with a smile.

"So that's the case. I think so, it's true. I really envy you, Brother Aoye." Uesugi Maki pointed his chin with his fingers.

"What do you envy me?" Aoba looked at Uesugi Maki and asked.

"I envy my younger brother Aoye who didn't always come here when he was a child! Although my home was not here at that time, I always stayed here 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 remembered the childhood he spent here, and bursts of tears were filled with tears.

"No, is my grandfather that scary?" Qingye shook his head with a funny look.

"Maybe I feel now that my grandfather is just a serious and overly old man, but in the eyes of children, my grandfather was so scared that I didn't even dare to cry." Uesugi Maki sighed when she mentioned the past.

"So that's the case. That's really a tragic thing. But I think the time spent by Sister Maki here should be more than just bad things, right?" Aoye said with a smile.

"Yes, some good things happened at that time! For me who was studying in Tokyo, every holiday, I could come to my hometown in the countryside for a while and live for a while, to my friends around me, I have indeed gained a lot of knowledge here. I met some good friends. Except for the occasional fear when I see my grandfather, the rest of the time is really interesting here! Whether it is exploring in this building complex with friends I know in the village, or following those friends to play in the nearby mountains." Uesugi Maki said with a smile on his face with a memory.

At this time, the expression on Uesugi Maki's face was no longer the kind of past that I was so unbearable to look back on when I mentioned my grandfather, but a memory full of nostalgia.

"So what about now? Do your friends still live in the village?" Aoye asked curiously.

"Of course I'm not here anymore. They have left the village and went to live in big cities. Otherwise, I'd already gone to find them as soon as I arrived here. This is one of the reasons why I'm gradually becoming less and less willing to come back here, because there are fewer and fewer people and things worth remembering." Uesugi Maki sighed and said.

"People and things in the world are constantly changing, nothing is eternal. Even in everything that is beautiful will eventually pass, and people still have to live in the present. As for those that have passed, please treasure it in your memory." Aoba comforted Uesugi Maki.

"I know, Brother Aoba doesn't need to comfort me. My sister is not that fragile yet. Well, it's almost dark. Let's go back to the room as soon as possible! Wait a little longer and it's time to start our evening action." Uesugi Maki looked at the sun that had already set on the other side of the mountain, looked at the time and said.

"Are you going to do it at night? Are you sure we are really going? Going to the temple at night?" Aoye finally looked at Uesugi Maki as sure as he was.

"Of course I'm going. Brother Aoye, you are not retreating again now, right?" Uesugi Maki looked at Aoye with suspicious eyes.

"I'm just the last reminder of you. There may be danger there." Aoye shrugged and said.

"What danger will be? It's just a legend!" Uesugi Maki said with disdain.

"Okay, that's fine if you're sure." Aoye shrugged again.

"And even if something really happens, Brother Aoye will protect his sister!" Uesugi Maki looked at Aoye with a smile, and his expression was obviously joking about Aoye.

"Of course, since I follow you, I'm very embarrassed to let you have something happen to you." Aoye nodded and said with a smile, but Aoye said nothing, but she was extremely serious. Unfortunately, Uesugi Maki didn't understand this at all, and just thought Aoye was joking like her.

"Then please give me everything to Brother Aoba." So Maki Uesugi continued to jokingly.

"You said so, what else can I do? Leave it to me." Aoye agreed helplessly. Even though he knew that Uesugi Maki was joking, Aoye could only take it seriously. Who told her to be Aoye's sister? Even if she was not a real sister, she was also the sister of her uncle's family. Aoye would never see her having an accident in front of her.

In this way, the two returned to their respective rooms. They opened the doors of the two adjacent rooms as in the afternoon, and sat or lie on the tatami of their own room in a relaxed position, while enjoying the afterglow of the sunset, while continuing to chat.

But the content of the chat is varied, endless and messy.

"It would be great if I could have a cup of tea at this time!" Qingye suddenly remembered the tea made by Kitani Kaori, so he said with some emotion.

"Does Brother Aoba want to have tea? I have it here." Uesugi Maki said.

Just when Aoba was surprised, Uesugi Maki had already stretched out an arm from the room next door and threw a bottle of green tea at Aoba.

Aoye raised his hand to catch the bottle of green tea. Seeing that the bottle in his hand was completely the bottled tea bought from a convenience store, he was a little amused and crying for a moment, but in the end he could only thank Maki Uesugi for his kindness.

"Thank you, Sister Maki, but at this time I still want to drink a cup of hot tea I just made." Qingye shook her head and said.

"Is there any difference in the tea I just made? Isn't the taste the same? And the bottled tea doesn't have to wait until it's cold before drinking, and you can drink it directly." Uesugi Maki obviously didn't understand Aoye's idea. Obviously, in Uesugi Maki's opinion, whether it is brewed or bottled tea, since it is all tea and the taste is similar, what's the difference? Well, at least when Uesugi Maki drinks, the bottled tea and the brewed tea taste the same, and the bottled tea does not have to be as hot as the brewed tea, so for Uesugi Maki, she likes bottled tea better than brewed tea.

"This taste is actually different." Facing Uesugi Maki's opinion, Aoba didn't know how to answer for a moment. If Japanese bottled tea is like Chinese bottled tea, and the taste is very different from the brewed tea, then Aoba doesn't need to distinguish it like this!

But the key is that Japanese bottled tea is completely different from Chinese bottled tea. Chinese bottled tea is basically sweet with sugar and is sweet. Not to mention which one is better, at least it tastes very different from the tea brewed.

However, Japanese bottled tea is light and does not add sugar, which makes the bottled tea not very different from the newly brewed tea.

So even with green leaves, it is difficult to tell what the difference between the taste of the bottled tea and the brewed tea.

"Is there any difference? I drink it almost the same!" said Maki Uesugi.

"Okay, then just think they are almost done." Aoye was too lazy to argue for a moment, so she simply unscrewed the bottle of tea and took a sip.

Sure enough, in Qingye's mouth, it was still possible to distinguish the subtle taste of bottled tea and freshly brewed tea. However, this difference cannot be described in words, so Qingye simply stopped talking about it.

"Brother Aoba, do you want some refreshments here?" Uesugi Maki's arm stretched out from the next room again, and she also held several small bags of big bougain cakes in her hand.

"Yes, thank you." Qingye simply took the big lucky cakes and replied.

In this way, the two began to enjoy the afterglow of the sunset while enjoying the tea and having refreshments, just like what Aoba did with Kitagawa Kako when she was still in the apartment.

But the difference is that at that time, Aoye drank the tea made by Kitagawa Kako and ate the tea made by Kitagawa Kako! Now Aoye drank the tea in bottles, and at the same time, the tea wrapped in small bags was also eaten. (~^~)
