Chapter 32: The eldest lady watching quietly
The couple took out their lunch boxes while chatting and laughing.
However, the moment the wife turned it on, their smiles froze.
"Hey? Where are the croquettes? Why is there only white rice?"
"Uh, wife, did you forget to put it in?"
"How is that possible? I remember putting it in properly! Look, there are still oil stains on the rice!"
Yoshiyuki listened to what they said and remembered that Erina had just said that they were eating croquettes.
"It's too much of a coincidence." Yi Xing asked the eldest lady in a low voice: "Could the croquettes they eat be stolen?"
"It's possible." Erina thought for a moment and smiled: "But it's also possible that the croquettes were so delicious that she couldn't help but eat them herself!"
"Who would do such a boring thing!"
Yoshiyuki felt that the eldest lady had almost rested enough by now, so he asked again if he wanted to finish the lap.
However, she refused to run away no matter what, and even had to carry her to the lake to see the scenery.
In desperation, he had to carry Erina on his back and ran all the way to the lake.
Carrying the girl on his back and running so fast easily really attracted a lot of people's attention.
There were even passing girls of the same age urging their boyfriends to do the same.
"Look, the boys over there can run away with their girlfriends on their backs! That's awesome! I want to do that too!"
"Ah? It's okay if I carry you for a few steps, but it's really hard to run so fast..."
"Let's try it!"
As a result, Yoshiyuki saw the tragic scene of him tripping and falling less than ten meters while carrying his girlfriend on his back.
The girl flew out and rolled back and forth on the grass several times before stopping, covering her head and crying loudly.
It was obviously very tragic and she should remain serious, but Erina couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Fortunately, she held back her subsequent laughter in time, otherwise it would have been really heartbreaking.
"My Yi Xing is still very good. He never falls down when he carries me on his back! Right, Yi Xing?"
"Miss, don't set up a flag. There is a river next to here. If I fall, you may fly into it."
Although swimming lessons are also taught at the village school, Erina has always been able to learn only halfway.
She knows almost nothing except dog paddle, which actually doesn't count in swimming lessons at school.
So the eldest daughter has failed the class for nine years in a row - but her other cultural classes are not very good. Compared with her brilliant record of always getting zero points in math, it is not unusual to fail in the swimming class.
Being able to make all the wrong guesses on multiple-choice questions is a talent that most people cannot match.
If Yi Xing hadn't been with the eldest lady every day, knowing her only for a few moments, one would have doubted whether she had deliberately bypassed the correct options. In fact, she knew all these questions.
“Occasionally I go out to exercise with Yi Xing, it feels really good!”
After finally arriving at the lake, Erina carefully jumped off Yoshiyuki who was half-crouching, took out the dumplings from the bag again, pinched them, and said happily.
"Miss, can you call this exercise?" Yi Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You only ran a few steps. You didn't even break a sweat."
"That was quite a good exercise for me! The highlight is the process of hanging out with Yoshiyuki!" Erina chuckled and took out a thermos: "Want to drink some water, Yoshiyuki? The weather is very hot Heat and replenishing water are very important, right?”
"Well, have some."
Unlike the Chinese, the Japanese do not drink boiled water. But they like to use thermos bottles to hold hot tea, coffee, etc. in them.
However, the bottle in the eldest lady's bottle is filled with ice water.
A thermos flask keeps it cold.
At this time, Erina poured some ice water into the lid of the thermos cup, drank half of it and handed it to him.
Yoshiyuki took it and killed them all with his head raised.
The cold and sweet liquid poured into the throat, bringing an extremely comfortable and moist feeling.
"Thank you, Miss." Yoshiyuki wiped his mouth and pulled out the wooden sword: "I will practice my sword here. If Miss is bored, you can take a nap on the grass with a dumpling on your pillow."
"We finally came to the park to exercise, how can we spend precious time sleeping?"
Erina sat on the grass as a duck, looked at the clear lake surface rippled by the breeze, then looked at Yoshiyuki, and smiled.
The sight of the eldest lady made him feel exceptionally calm and warm inside.
It seemed that the sword he swung was more powerful.
One hour of sword practice passed in this way under the silent attention of the eldest lady.
She just watched quietly without saying a word to disturb Yoshiyuki - even though she said she was going to the lake to see the scenery, the focus of her eyes was on him most of the time.
After practicing the last move, Yoshiyuki put away the wooden sword and inserted it into his waist again.
At this time, the eldest lady finally stood up from the grass and patted her butt, trotted to Yoshiyuki's side like a corgi running wildly, and spoke with a smile.
"Thank you, Yoshiyuki! How are you? I'm quiet, right?" Erina took out a wet wipe and wiped his face, and asked proudly: "Do you have any thoughts?"
"Yeah. The eldest lady is so cute when she's quiet. She's not annoying at all."
"Are you saying that I'm usually annoying and not cute at all?!"
Erina immediately slapped the wet wipe on his face and lightly kicked Yoshiyuki angrily.
"I'll give you a chance to correct your statement, servant!"
"Yes, the eldest lady is always so cute. Is that okay?"
Yoshiyuki took off the wet towel and threw it into the trash can. He stretched out his hand to straighten her hair that was blown by the wind, and said with a smile.
"Hmph... I feel like you are just perfunctory with me." Erina squeezed the dumplings in her arms and bounced them around, and muttered: "Servant..."
Yoshiyuki then remembered that Erina hadn't had lunch yet.
Just eating an energy bar is definitely not enough, you still have to look for snacks in the park.
Therefore, Yoshiyuki suggested that before starting the afternoon tour, she should walk around the park to see if there was any food she liked.
"By the way, I'm going to talk about this! During this time, I saw several people passing by with particularly fragrant grilled sausages, right?" Erina mentioned this matter, as if her mouth was about to drool: "Let's hurry up Go find it!”
"Grilled sausage? I was busy practicing my sword just now and I really didn't pay attention." Yi Xing said curiously: "Where did they come from?"
"Right over there! Come quickly."
Erina excitedly took hold of Xing's arm and ran towards the other side of the bridge.
It was clear that I couldn't run after a while when I was jogging, but now I am full of energy and can run so far in one breath.
Yoshiyuki believes that this has to show how attractive Zhongyi's delicious food is to picky young ladies.
