Chapter 20 Slowly, the distance is constantly changing in the calm daily life (2)

[.... What?]

What is "other things", except that I am a student here and he is the dean here, I should have nothing to do with him, no impression, no memory. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

[Hmph.] Looks like it's been completely forgotten...]

Although he said such regrettable words on his mouth, he didn't say anything about it in his tone at all, saying that he was regretful... It's more appropriate to say that it has some ridicule, and the eyes of Yeyue's father, who should have been serious at this time, have also turned into pity, and it seems that he is facing a guy who deserves his pity.

I frowned, for me, it was not a big deal to be stared at by the elders with such a gaze, and it was good to have mercy. Poor or poor, it's all their freedom, but I didn't need this luxury from the beginning. Nor will it be accepted.

So, after he and I looked at each other for a short while, I took the lead in breaking this pattern

[Headmaster, if nothing else, I'd like to go first.] ]

[You can call me uncle when it's just me and you.] ]

....

[What?]

Just as in the midst of a gloomy mime with a modern comedy soundtrack, the sudden interspersing of this heavy atmosphere with this answer makes the atmosphere a little more normal, just like Mr. Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, which does not feel very real. Could it be some new type of gray humor?

I froze on the couch, a little overwhelmed.

[How???]

Seeing that I didn't answer, he frowned, half threatening and half impatiently questioned.

I shook my head in a hurry

[No, no comment... Why, though?]

Although in terms of age, I really should call him uncle, no... If I were to call my uncle, I would definitely say yes.

[Since it's okay, don't ask why.] ]

As if he had been asked something unkind, this time he was completely impatient to give up.

[Today, I'm the father of Xiaoyin... Coming to you as a father. ]

[Oh, oh...]

Because I was said very seriously, I also became upright here, slowly straightened my chest, made a look of being ready to be taught, lowered my head slightly, looked at him with my eyes slanted upward, and said... Why not start at the beginning? Do people nowadays like the prelude to a call story... It feels so troublesome.

Seeing that I had also become serious, Yeyue's father sighed softly, exhaled deeply, seemed to be very tired, and after looking at me for a few seconds, he began to ask

[Bikigu, how does Kone feel to you?]

[Ahh Very good. ]

[What else?]

[Whether it is good looks or ability, they are all so good that people can't fault them.] ]

[Hmm...]

Speaking of this, Mr. Yeyue Jiuliu, as a father, nodded in agreement with what I said, took a deep breath, and slowly leaned back, and then, leaning on the sofa, he finally relaxed his tense expression, and the serious atmosphere was somewhat relaxed, looked at me, and continued to ask

[In addition to these.] How else do you feel?]

It's the same question again... Although I didn't want to answer, even if I remained silent in this situation, it would not be smooth, so I tried to think about it in my mind, hesitated for a moment, and spoke

[The voice of the night moon senpai... It was perfect.]

[Oh... What else?]

[...]

Being asked by him so continuously, I instantly became out of words, and... I don't know, so the answer doesn't exist, so... I was afraid to fall silent and bowed my head.

The answer that doesn't exist... It's just not there, my hands are clenched into fists, clenched tightly, maybe at this time, there is also some cold sweat in the palms of my hands. This kind of incompatible question and answer is almost over.

After a few seconds of silence, his voice was heard from the other side again

[You should know what I'm asking.]

[No、I don't know.] ]

I tried my best to keep this calm, but I couldn't hide my trembling when I spoke. I'm not fit to be a liar.

[You know very well, even better than Xiaoyin, I know that nothing is different now, but from the perspective of being a father, it is impossible to just watch Xiaoyin continue like this anyway.] ]

[....]

I slowly raised my head and looked at him blankly, what does this mean.... However, even desperately trying to figure out the meaning of this sentence is meaningless, I know very well. It also returned to its original appearance, and looked at me with a scary and serious expression, and then continued

[I don't want her to regret it.]

[.... And I say this, what's the use.. So far, that's all it can be...]

There was a sound in my thirsty throat that sounded like a struggle, and some of the words I couldn't even hear clearly, so I didn't finish the sentence and became silent, so I could only bury my head and look at the trembling hands on my knees... Damn it.

[That's your business, I also have my own practice.Fourteen years ago, I didn't stop Xiaoyin, no... Then not now, she is my daughter and the only daughter, as a father... I just want her to live happily... That's enough. ]

Night Moon's father's tone gradually became softer, as if he was expecting something, was it expectation, longing, or was it just a simple remembrance of the good things of the past? I don't know, but this tone surprised me, and subconsciously thought that he would only appear in such a kind tone when facing Night Moon.

When he finished speaking, he looked at me and smiled faintly, like a kind smile of an elder when facing a junior

[You should almost admit it.]

[... What?]

I looked at him suspiciously and asked cautiously.

[Tone's determination..]

Saying this, he became a little helpless and bitter, and shook his head gently

[I don't know what exactly you and Xiaoyin have agreed to.] To make her so persistent, even to the point of begging me, an incompetent father... I don't know if I'm going to be happy or crying..]

So, in the face of such a moment, I showed a puzzled expression, thanks to him, the tense and depressing atmosphere just now has completely disappeared, and the agreement... Ahh But I'm really looking forward to seeing you crying, and if you take a picture, you'll definitely sell it in the academy.

[I—I don't know...]

While looking away, he denied it, and he couldn't admit it anyway... After finishing speaking, I secretly looked at him out of the corner of my eye... It seems that he did not continue to dwell on the topic, but only paused for a moment, and then continued

[That's your problem, I'm going to talk about your problem from now on.]

[Oh..]

What.. I'm worried about it. I am ready to be unyielding in the face of death.

[I remember where you live now is the apartment near Kaihin Makuhari Station, right?]

[Oh... Count, count.]

What's wrong? Suddenly talking about the residence... I don't know what this uncle is thinking. Where did he know that? Sure enough, it's still Yangnai... I don't know why, even if there is no direct evidence, as long as you encounter this kind of thing, you will naturally think of that person, which is really strange.

[Hmm.] Sure enough.]

As he spoke, he kept rubbing his chin with his hand, and nodded his head gently, as if thinking about something, and after a few seconds, he looked at me and said seriously

[Towards the end of the summer vacation, Xiaoyin asked me to buy an apartment.]

[Oh..]

What is this... There's no need to tell me.

[Because it's the first time in a few years that she's taken the initiative to ask me, I'm a little more serious... Investigated the apartment she had chosen a bit...]

[...]

At this point, I couldn't help but look at him with wide eyes, and a bad feeling arose in my heart, could it be...

[It's next door to you.,Although I've objected to it.,But because it's Xiaoyin's insistence, there's no way.,The layout of the apartment was also completed yesterday.,Next.] I'll leave it to you. ]

..... Ahh

[She doesn't care about it.] It's still your sister, right? take good care of her.]

With that, the middle-aged uncle stood up from the sofa and patted me lightly on the shoulder, as if he was in a really good mood, and then... Under my stunned gaze, he left the office that belonged to him.
