Chapter 444,

Before leaving the house the next day, Ling was checking whether the doors and windows of the room were closed, Zhuo was wondering if he had forgotten to bring anything, and Uesugi Eriya was holding a small notebook and handing it to him.

Zhuo raised his head, crossed his fingers, and looked at her in surprise. It was a passport - applying for a passport was a must if you wanted to go abroad, but it still surprised Zhuo that this happened to Uesugi Eri.

In the passport, Eri Uesugi looked at the camera like a soulless doll, with cloudy and unfocused eyes, but she had tied her hair into a beautiful red high ponytail, which made her look much more energetic.

"It looks great. When did you get the passport?"

[My brother took me there before.] Uesugi Eriya held up her other small notebook and spread it out in front of Zhuo. [When taking pictures, the sister asked me to lift my hair up.]

"Kazama Ruri?"

【right. 】

Could the little mute actually recognize that the man was his brother... Not very likely. Perhaps it was the character that Fengjian Liuli created for himself. He was born to be an actor.

Zhuo nodded and continued to pack his luggage to check for any missing items.

Compared to previous trips back to his hometown, this time he and Ling shared a simple black suitcase, which was casually taken by Ling when he moved. It contained two identical black and white sweatshirts, two pairs of trousers and underwear, and nothing else.

Travel light.

Uesugi Eriya had two shiny silver suitcases, which were filled with a lot of stuff. Zhuo could vaguely guess what was inside.

Zhuo thought that one of the boxes should contain Uesugi Eriya's toys, and the other box was her red and white shrine maiden costumes. In her cognition, she only had these things... By the way, today's underworld princess was wearing a pink and white princess dress. It's a bit impolite to say that this color of dress doesn't match her hair color. Should we say that beautiful people can wear anything? Uesugi Eriya has a good figure, and her waistline is very unscientifically tight. Zhuo thinks it's almost catching up with zero, which makes the waistline look a bit unfair.

[Yes, Santa Claus, brother told me to take the clothes over there and sell them.]

Zhuo felt that this must be Fengjian Liuli's idea. This was someone else's business, and he didn't intend to interfere. Zhuo followed up with the conversation and asked.

"make money?"

[Make money. Make a lot of money, until I make up for the money that Santa lost this time.]

"Uh...thank you for your hard work."

【Christmas brother can also buy some. 】

Although she didn't know what Fengjian Liuli told her, bringing one more person would definitely cost more, and Zhuo's financial situation would not allow him to save face, so he frankly accepted the little mute's kindness.

When Zhuo saw the last line of words written by Uesugi Eriya, he was a little surprised and relieved.

Not bad.

This guy actually knows how to make money together.

grown up.

Selling some of his most clothes for money is a good idea, and Zhuo doesn't intend to stop it. Zhuo doesn't know what strange knowledge Fengjian Liuli has instilled in Uesugi Eryi, but it seems that with Fengjian Liuli's patience, he doesn't have so much time to teach Uesugi Eryi. If he has to say, Zhuo thinks he is more likely to secretly stare at Yuan Zhisheng in a daze. In short, no matter what Fengjian Liuli does, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the final result will not be more miserable than the "original", so even if there are changes, don't worry, or it can be regarded as a good thing.

So, where should I sell it?

Zhuo felt that Uesugi Eri had definitely not thought about these things.

Even if she chose to set up a street stall that night, with a large flow of people and the premise that the little mute was very pretty, in theory, many people would come to buy as long as she stood there, but she would be driven away without a certificate. Thinking about it again, maybe she didn't have to worry about whether she could sell it or not.

Customs will directly seize her things.

I will definitely cry loudly then.

Oh, sorry, I forgot she also has facial paralysis.

……

Tokyo International Airport, or Haneda Airport.

There was a huge crowd.

The boarding announcement was heard from time to time.

After completing check-in, the three of them sat in the seats next to the boarding gate and waited.

When people around them passed by them, their eyes would stop and linger for a moment, then wonder in their hearts what the relationship between the three was.

Looks like brothers and sisters.

But there are also fathers and mothers who look very young, right? The one with black hair is the father, the one with red hair is the mother, and the one with golden hair is the daughter... It seems even more strange to think this way.

Utsunomiya Shuo was wearing a pure white T-shirt and black trousers today. He slumped on his seat, looking listless. This kind of waiting part was the most annoying.

Zero was wearing the same thing as him.

Sitting between the two of them, Uesugi Erie looked flamboyant. To be more precise, the word "glittering" might be more appropriate. She wore a short-sleeved princess dress with pink and white princess shoes. Her bright red hair was tied into a ponytail with a black ribbon and hung down to her waistline. She had an ugly waist bag on her waist, which she said was for money. It was unclear how much Fengjian Liuli had promised her, and Zhuo was too embarrassed to criticize her.

When children passed by her, their eyes widened and they cried and begged their mother to give them the same treatment.

Oh, maybe it's not just the children who are watching straight, some males are also secretly observing this side. There is nothing we can do about it.

After they left, Uesugi Erii slowly raised the notebook to show him.

【Brother Santa, will we live in a bird's nest? 】

"will not."

[Eri knows. ]

Uesugi Erii probably imagined that they would live in a bird's nest and made a series of associations. Zhuo could see that she was a little disappointed but she didn't express it. It's just that this girl was not good at hiding her emotions. Even if she didn't say anything, what she was thinking was clearly written in her eyes.

After a moment of silence, Zero, who was sitting on the other side, asked softly.

"Want to sleep under the bridge?"

“…It’s something we can consider.”

“…There will be mosquitoes.”

"Is this so?"

Ling said something scary with a cute face and a tone without any inflection - mosquito. Zhuo nodded to show that he understood.

The plane ticket was delivered to the hotel yesterday. Since he had to use other methods to get the plane ticket in other countries, Zhuo naturally couldn't book a hotel there. Ling probably saw this, so he confirmed it. Although Zhuo felt that he handled these things very badly, he didn't think about hiding it and admitted it frankly.

In the final analysis, Zhuo felt that he didn't need to worry about the problem of accommodation. Even if he couldn't find a place to stay, the local staff would make proper arrangements for foreign tourists like him, so he didn't need to worry at all. According to the timetable in the hall, Zhuo and others' flight would arrive in 30 minutes.

For most people, they will play with their mobile phones or listen to music to kill time.

Zhuo was listening to music with headphones on; Ling stood up occasionally and looked at the boarding time on the sign behind him; Uesugi Eryi... Uesugi Eryi was staring at the Ultraman Transformer in the hand of the child next door. Every time the child raised the stick high, Uesugi Eryi would clench her fists tightly. Zhuo felt that she was much more nervous than the little boy.

The clouds are white and the sun is big.

Fortunately, the air conditioning in the terminal was turned on very well.

Zhuo ignored Uesugi Eri who was being shown off her toys by a little boy, and continued to discuss the return trip arrangements with his parents on the phone.

The messages sent by parents on the phone reveal their worries.

Zhuo was trying to comfort them.

After a while, Sa Chie sent me the weather forecast for BJ. The average temperature was above 30 degrees, and it would be sunny, but it might be so hot that people would die. At least, for people born in an island country, the temperature above 30 degrees might be unimaginable.

Time passed slowly, and Utsunomiya Shuo and others' flight was not delayed and they boarded the plane on time.

There were not many people in the cabin, less than half of them were occupied, so I guess those empty seats were the work of Crow and his team, who were so efficient. Under the smiling guidance of the flight attendant, they found their own seats.

The three people's positions are connected.

As soon as she sat down, Ling, who was sitting by the corridor, took out her eye mask and put it on, and began to sleep. She didn't get a good rest last night. The hotel they stayed in had two bedrooms. Ling originally thought that if someone was next door, she might choose to have a good rest, but she seemed to be wrong, so she went to bed very late.

Uesugi Erii was leaning against the window, looking at the endless airport runway outside, her red pupils trembling slightly.

Uesugi Eriya suddenly turned around and looked at Zhuo.

"lighter."

Zhuo put his index finger in front of his mouth. He did this not because he was worried that the little mute would make noise and disturb others, but because the girl went a little too far when she pulled his clothes in excitement.

Uesugi Erii began to write in her notebook.

【Brother Santa, humans are so great. 】

"Don't talk like you're not human..."

【Amazing. 】

"You are also very capable...don't be proud."

Even though Uesugi Erii didn't understand what Zhuo was saying, she still nodded as if she understood, and then turned her head to continue pulling at the window.

Zhuo knew that Uesugi Eri was probably surprised by such a venue and means of transportation. Even if the technology within the Snake Eight Families was far superior to that here, there was no way to directly show this feeling... not to mention that Uesugi Eri could not touch those things.

Zhuo turned on the flight mode on his phone and leaned back in his seat, closing his eyes to rest.

Only Uesugi Erii was looking out the window at the green grass dancing in the wind like an ocean, without looking away. Even the people in the back seat could see that she was really interested.

Of course, you couldn't tell from her expression.

take off.

stratosphere.

At first glance, the white and clean clouds below look like soft and sticky marshmallows.

Uesugi Eri lay by the window without saying a word.

Perhaps it was because it was the first time she had seen such a scene that Uesugi Eri was so focused on the scene in front of her that she couldn't help herself.

Another ten minutes passed.

Uesugi Erii came back from the window and turned to look at Zhuo who seemed to have fallen asleep. The posture she was sitting in was very similar to the way Ling usually sat, both of which were the template of a good student, with her hands on her knees and her back straight - it seemed that she was waiting for Zhuo to wake up.

After a while, she began to write in her notebook. Every time she wrote something, she would look up to see if Zhuo had woken up, and then she would show him the words on the notebook. If she found that Zhuo had not woken up, she would lower her head and continue writing.

Uesugi Erii has a very keen sense of hearing. Even in a soundproof aircraft, she can hear the friction sound of air flow outside the cabin. However, she doesn't know that she is the only one who feels this way. She thinks everyone feels the same way.

Well, she wasn't alone.

Hearing the rustling noise, Uesugi Eri looked up. The sound she heard was from Zhuo, and when she looked up, she saw Zhuo, but it was not the scene of Zhuo waking up. Instead, Zhuo was already asleep and fell on the legs of the person on the other side. Judging from the even breathing sound, he should not have woken up yet.

Uesugi Eriya blinked and looked at the scene in a daze.

Santa, who had no sense of guard or resistance towards her since the first time they met, sat in the middle seat with his head resting on the legs of the girl on his right. Eri had never seen this girl before, so she didn't remember these things and didn't think anything of it.

But looking at it again now, she also felt something in her heart.

Uesugi Eriya could hear that the girl was not asleep. Before Santa fell down, she promptly supported the back of his neck and head with her hands, and then slowly placed him on her legs. Everything happened so naturally.

Uesugi Eri tilted her head and observed. Santa and the girl wearing the same clothes seemed to form a picture of perfect harmony. Even she could feel the harmony. Uesugi Eri couldn't explain what this feeling was. She tentatively stretched out her hand - she didn't know what she was thinking. She subconsciously wanted to wake up Santa.

However, she was stopped from doing so.

The palm of the hand was held by another hand that was smaller than the own.

The girl had taken off her blindfold and turned to look at her.

"What's up."

Uesugi Eri blinked in confusion and showed her what she had written down earlier.

Can I take another flight when I return?

"What."

[An airplane with windows that can be opened.]

A passing flight attendant was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. After seeing the situation clearly, she carefully explained the relevant knowledge to Uesugi Eri, and only left reluctantly after giving her repeated instructions.

Three steps and one step back.

Uesugi Eri didn't get a positive answer, or her own fantasy was shattered, and she didn't seem to be depressed. She seemed to have shifted her attention from the plane and chose to stare at the sleeping Zhuo.

Ling didn't continue staring at her. When the stewardess was about to give some scientific knowledge to Uesugi Erii, she turned her gaze to Zhuo on her lap and looked at his face seriously, not knowing what she was thinking.
