Chihara Rin is a little weak-hearted, mainly I don't know if this counts as seeing my parents, but I definitely have to go, sooner or later there will be this day, and it will definitely not work to hide. He shook his spirits, hurried the time to arrange his work, cleaned himself up well, dressed up neatly, and then rushed to the appointment early.

How to say this, it is also Bai Ma Ningzi's parents, whether from the perspective of friends or girlfriends, should have a respectful attitude, and never be late - it is a matter of first impression, not careless!

Going to see Bai Ma Ningzi's parents was his personal private matter, he didn't want too many people to know, he took a taxi, and when he got to the car, he began to settle down and fold his arms and ponder.

It's hard to say why the other party came, maybe it was to inspect itself, maybe it was simply to beat the mandarin ducks.

Is it possible that this traditional family cannot accept free love?

Will a huge check appear in front of you, please stay away from Baima Ningzi?

If you extrapolate according to the worst-case scenario, how to say some things and what to do, whether it is to overcome rigidity with softness or to be honest and sincere, this must first have a spectrum in your heart, especially if you can't offend people to death, lest Bai Ma Ningzi fall into a dilemma.

He rushed to a small pier in Shinagawa, Tokyo, got out of the car, paid the fare, and began to observe the situation - he originally wanted to treat him, after all, he was the host, but Hakuba Ninko's mother, Hakuba Mitsue, seemed to have a tough personality and had already set a place, so he couldn't refuse at all.

Playing away from home, this is also a big disadvantage!

He looked around and found that the wharf was supposed to belong to the private property of a certain enterprise, and all the boats parked were all house-shaped boats, that is, wooden houses pierced on top of the flat boats, with eaves, corridors, guest rooms, and outdoor seating, which belonged to the special sightseeing boats.

This thing should have originated from the building ship of the Tang Dynasty in China, but with the passage of time, the war function was completely lost, and gradually evolved into a special entertainment, and the "building" became shorter and shorter, and by the Edo period it was basically a single or double storey, in order to facilitate the nobles, samurai, and wealthy merchants to gather and feast, and enjoy the moon and flowers - it is very good to sit on this thing to watch the cherry blossoms, and it is also very powerful to play and view, and some people even rent this thing to get married.

In the middle, because of the "ban on the construction of large ships" for a period of time, it was said that the economy developed greatly, the water pollution was serious, and it simply disappeared completely, and now these are newly built in the bubble economy era, when the government spent a lot of money on environmental protection and decontamination, which made the river clear again, so that this kind of recreational boat can start to wander around in the Tokyo inland river again - the bubble era said that the book was burned by money, and it was very crazy.

There's this thing in "Spirited Away", it looks like a guesthouse, but it's actually a very large house-shaped ship, which provides a variety of dining, amusement and lodging services, and Chihiro's parents turned into pigs eating in it, and Chihiro also worked in it.

Of course, that's the exaggerated effect of the animated movie, the house-shaped boats on the pier are not as big as that, and most of them are exquisite single-deck types, only a large double-decker sightseeing boat, it seems that this company is mainly engaged in high-end business party business, and does not care much about sightseeing tourists.

Hakuba Mizue This is a chartered house-shaped boat to entertain guests, obviously attentive, when the time comes, eat and chat on the boat, it is impossible for anyone to disturb, and even if a paparazzi reporter receives the news and rushes, looking at the river, he can only stare dryly, not to mention tracking and squatting, anyway, it is better than a restaurant.

After observing the environment, Rin Chihara felt that the other party also attached great importance to this meeting, and thought about it very carefully, this is a good thing and a bad thing - it is a good thing to care about the situation on your side, and it is a bad thing for the other party to come prepared, it is obviously not easy to deal with, be careful!

He went to the dock reception with a wary look, and a middle-aged woman wearing a plain sleeved kimono bowed deeply: "Does the guest have an appointment?"

"Yes, Hakuba. ”

The woman in the sleeved kimono checked the record and confirmed that it was correct, and a girl in a kimono with vibrating sleeves appeared between her hand, and said respectfully: "Distinguished guest, please come here." ”

Rin Chihara followed the girl deeper into the docks, and finally came to a small house-shaped boat. This ship is particularly exquisite, with a jet-black hull, white lanterns on vermilion walls, gold and silver lacquer ornaments, and wind chimes and beasts, which looks very decent.

He got on the boat directly through the board, and there were already four girls on the bow of the boat to greet him, all of them tilted their heads and raised their hands to pat their palms twice on the side of their ears, and said with a smile: "Welcome!"

Chihara Rin nodded slightly and looked around, and the welcoming girl saw what he meant, and immediately said, "Please wait, the master has been informed." ”

Two of these girls obviously recognized Chihara Rinto, after all, he has not been in the newspaper recently, but these girls have a good professionalism and do not show any unusual behavior, and as soon as the girl's voice fell, a middle-aged man appeared in the corridor on the side of the boat, and smiled from afar: "It's rude, it's rude, I didn't expect Chihara-san to arrive so early." ”

Chihara Rin immediately turned around and bowed his head in greeting, and then looked up, and found that this person was forty-five or sixteen years old, his sideburns were already a little gray, his thick eyebrows, square face, high nose bridge was a little handsome, but he was also a little squinting when he smiled-other facial features were not the same, but his eyes were very similar to Bai Ma Ningzi, and nine times out of ten it was her own father!

Chihara Rin didn't dare to slack off, and immediately introduced himself: "Hello, first meeting, I'm Chihara Rin, please advise." ”

The handsome middle-aged guy was very affectionate, held his hand and smiled heartily: "Don't be so polite, I'm not an outsider! I am Ningzi's father, Baima Zongzheng, and I will ask Qianyuan Sanduoduo to take care of me in the future." ”

This attitude is good, it doesn't seem to be here to beat mandarin ducks, maybe it's a salute before a soldier, after all, it's not an upstart family. Rin Chihara said politely while thinking, "Just call me Chihara." ”

The other party is more than 20 years older than him, and he can't put out the pedigree of a national teacher here, so it feels better to be low-key, and Hakuma Zongzheng seems to be a super talkative person, and he is not polite: "Okay, just call you Qianyuan!" Then he carefully looked at Chihara Rinren, and Chihara Rin was also seen by him, and after a while, Hakuma Zongzheng sighed: "It's really unseemly!"

From the father's sigh, my daughter chose such a thing?

"You're too awarded!" Rinto Chihara instinctively snorted, but immediately felt as if something was wrong - was this complimenting me?

White Horse Zongzheng didn't feel anything, it seemed that he just had a feeling, he had already taken him to the houseboat, changed the subject, and began to apologize again: "Qianyuan, I'm a little snub to you, I thought you would come after twelve o'clock, but I didn't expect you to arrive so early...... I should have met at the bow of the boat, but thinking that there was still some time, I fished in the stern for a while, and after a while, you should not talk about it in front of Ningzi and her mother, otherwise she would be verbose with me again. ”

"No, no, don't worry. "Chihara Rin naturally can't have an opinion, it was originally that he ran ahead of schedule, and it was just the normal time to get off work at this time, and it was indeed that he came a little earlier - Bai Ma Ningzi seems to have mentioned it before, her father is easier to talk to, and it is her mother who is difficult to deal with, which seems to be true!

Her dad personality at least seems easy-going, and a bit of a big mouth......

He immediately probed: "I don't know ...... Lady Charm"

"The president of this company is an old acquaintance of our family, and her wife heard that Ningzi's mother came to Tokyo, and she came to meet her just now, she thought that you should not be able to arrive for a while, so she didn't refuse, and now the two of them are talking!" ”

Rin Chihara couldn't mind, and hurriedly said, "It's okay, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

"You have to take it to heart, you can't have a misunderstanding!" Bai Ma Zongzheng was very serious: "This is not a dismount, we are not the kind of shallow and ignorant parents, and you don't have to be nervous...... I've had a similar experience with you before, when I went to see Ningzi's grandparents, they were so serious that I almost peed my pants, and I swore at that time that I wouldn't do it when I met my son-in-law, so you really don't have to be nervous. ”

Chihara Rin didn't know what to say, okay, Hakuma Ningzi her father...... What a wonderful man! This is the time to meet the son-in-law?

But he liked it, and immediately said sincerely: "You have a heart, thank you very much." ”

White Horse Zongzheng seemed to have fulfilled a wish, his expression was quite pleased, and he said: "Disturbing them at this time is a bit like driving people away, it's not good, why don't we go to the stern of the boat to fish for a while and wait...... Do you like fishing?"

"Sorry, I didn't fish. "Chihara Rin is a little regretful, Hakuma Ningzi's father seems to be a fishing enthusiast, and he has already known that he will learn it - sure enough, there are many skills and no pressure, and there is less hatred when the book is used!

The White Horse Sect didn't care, and said with a hearty smile: "It doesn't matter, I'll teach you...... I wanted to teach Ningzi to fish before, but unfortunately her mother didn't agree. ”

Rin Chihara immediately became kind, and he also wanted to have a good relationship with Hakuba Somasa, so he followed him to the stern.

This house-shaped boat is retro-shaped, and retains many things that are useless in modern times, such as a half-hung stern of the boat, a special handyman platform for washing rice, washing vegetables and drawing water, and now it is placed on the Mazha by the White Horse Sect as a fishing place.

They went down the ladder at the stern of the boat to the platform, and the white horse Zongzheng sent a horse and a professional fishing rod to Chihara Rin Ren, and taught him briefly - hang the bait, throw the hook far away, and then watch the fish drift and wait, there are no big fish in the river, you don't have to worry about being dragged away by the fish, but the boat is far away, the current is too chaotic, the fish don't like to go to the side of the boat, and you can't make a fish nest.

Chihara Rin has a good learning ability, and quickly grasped the basic technical essentials, and then sat there to play with Hakuba Somasa, and asked by the way, "Isn't Miss Hakuba here?"

He originally thought that Hakuma Ningzi would also be there, but now that he looks, he shouldn't be there, but Hakuma Zongzheng smiled and said, "She's still in Saitama County, it's just that we wanted to see you and didn't inform her." Then he reacted and glanced at Rin Chihara, "Is it because you call her that in front of me, or is it ......?"

Rin Chihara said honestly: "Maybe there was some misunderstanding, we haven't officially dated yet." ”

"But you have a crush on each other, don't you?"

"Yes. ”

White Horse Zongzheng breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the fish drift in the distance, and sighed: "This is basically enough, Ning Zi has been a very special child since he was a child." ”

Rin Chihara immediately became interested, and he didn't care if the fish would be hooked, and immediately asked, "Especially the ......?"

"She's been smart since she was a child, but she's not your average smart, and in the current fashionable parlance, EQ is high. As he spoke, he couldn't get it right, and asked, "It's EQ, right?"

Rin Chihara immediately responded, "Yes, you are right. ”

People with high IQ can make themselves comfortable. People with high emotional intelligence can make the people around them comfortable. Rin Chihara and Hakuma Ningzi feel very comfortable together - she is like an interpreter flower, she knows the meaning of elegance when she hears the strings, gentle and playful, and she actually has a good IQ, she can live happily by herself, and she can also make the people around her happy.

This kind of person is rare, and it's a pity to miss it.

After the White Horse Sect was confirmed, he continued to sigh: "Maybe it's the reason for her high EQ, she has been very popular since she was a child, but she also has a problem...... She treats everyone the same, polite and gentle, never out of proportion, but I know her, it's actually a kind of estrangement, she cares a lot about the distance between people, and she can easily guess what others are thinking, super hates liars. ”

After a pause, he asked with concern, "You didn't lie to her, did you?"

Rin Chihara immediately shook his head: "No." ”

"Many people have made this kind of mistake, young people love to slap their swollen faces and become fat, in fact, with her, even if some things are embarrassing, it is best to tell the truth, so that she will understand and start to think about you - you can complain to her more about things, she eats this very much!"

Chihara Rin nodded silently, this is the first-hand precious information from Father Hakuba, is it appropriate for you to sell your daughter like this? And Hakuba Zongzheng seemed to see his confusion, and sighed: "Don't be surprised, we are just one daughter, she has also reached the age when it is time to start a family, we all hope that she can get married as soon as possible, even if there is a dating partner first, but she has never had someone she likes, so ...... Chihara, come on, I'll support you!"

"Thank you, I also want to cheer, but there are a lot of practical difficulties......"

"Don't worry about anything, I've got you covered. You are a celebrity, and it is inconvenient for eighty percent to get rich, but it doesn't matter, you can have a child with the surname Baima in the future...... This is my responsibility, I can't let my family name be cut off, I can only ask you to work hard. White Horse Zongzheng was unusually easy to speak, and said very sincerely: "As for your career, we don't have the idea of interfering, Ningzi's mother and I are not old, and we have no plans to retire, and Ningzi can take care of the family business in the future, she knows better than you, you can help her by the side, this should be no problem, right?"

"Of course!"

White Horse Zongzheng smiled with relief and asked, "Then what's the difficulty?"

Rin Chihara pondered for a moment, it seems that there is really no difficulty, and the other party's request is not too much.

A child with his mother's surname, it seems to be nothing, after marriage, he helped Baima Ningzi, and came forward when he encountered a major event, which was natural and reasonable!

He felt that he was worried before he came, and immediately said sincerely: "No, you are really a good and enlightened father. ”

Baima Zongzheng shook his head and said: "I can't call it, the main thing is that I can't do it, Ningzi has had a special idea since she was a child, her mother tricked her into going on a blind date, she immediately saw through it, she simply ran to Tokyo and didn't go back, and she didn't ask for money from home, she was traveling around, and she lived a very happy life, and we really couldn't help her." Now it's rare that she has a good impression of you, and she is willing to go to the hospital to take care of you, so hurry up and work hard!"

After a pause, Baima Zongzheng seemed to react that it was not good to say this, and he shook his head and added: "Of course, it is also for the sake of her happiness, she is too calm and self-conscious in her relationship, we are very worried that she doesn't want to get married at all, and she is not acting rashly, we have already inquired about you in private, you are indeed a good person, and you can bring happiness to Ningzi." ”

Chihara Rin nodded again and again, he didn't have any opinion that the White Horse family had inquired about him privately, his daughter had a suspected dating partner, and it was strange when the parents didn't secretly inquire about it, very normal, but I don't know how they got the news.

Did the trip to the Honcao Temple finally reach the Hakuba family, or was it simply revealed by the mountain god family? But it doesn't matter, things are going well anyway...... It turned out that Bai Ma Ningzi's parents had a headache more than their own daughters running around, which was really unexpected!

He was thinking about something in his heart, when he suddenly heard Baima Zongzheng remind: "Quickly pull the rod and reel in the line, the fish is hooked!"

Chihara Rin was stunned for a moment before he reacted that he was still holding a fishing rod in his hand, and hurriedly dragged the rod to collect the money, but he was happy after collecting the rod, and there was no fish at all. He didn't care, but Baima Zongzheng was very sorry and comforted him: "It's okay, it's good to react faster next time." ”

He seemed to want to develop Chihara Rin into a fishing friend, and at this time, a maid hurriedly came, and said with her head down: "Hakuma-san, your wife invites you to come over with Chihara-san, the food is ready." ”

Hakuba Zongzheng responded politely "Okay", and then climbed back to the deck with Rin Chihara, walked directly to the houseboat, and comforted him by the way: "Ningzi's mother may be a little strict, she can put on a show, her personality is like that, you don't have to take it to heart, as long as you behave normally, in fact, you have already been decided, don't worry about anything." ”

Chihara Rin smiled, feeling that Hakuma Ningzi was right, her father was really good!
