Chapter 20: She and Him and Their Intertwined Youth 3
The next morning, I walked to school as usual under the snow, but because it was a volunteer negotiation, our class was suspended today, so it was very relaxed, whether it was from the weight of the body or the psychological pressure.
[How's it going?] Email to Lingzun.... That one.... Is there a response?]
Rarely, under the snow, she showed a slightly nervous expression, and her tone was also a little hesitant, swallowing, she lowered her head slightly, and Liuhai covered her eyes, but she could just see the little face with pink bags under her eyes, and the hand that was holding me squeezed it tighter, and the whole person suddenly became shy... What is this cute creature in front of you? Fouled! Absolutely fouled... No, no, Miss Snow, don't show such girlish nervousness, I'm going to be shaken first... Have faith in my incompetent parents, who are 99 percent likely not to come, rest assured. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
I took my phone out of my pocket, pulled up my email address, handed it to the snow, and after giving me a puzzled look, I took it... What is shown above is just a normal email
FromDad
To Bi Qi Valley
Message: Just watch this little thing yourself, anyway, you're an adult, so there's not much time to pass. Since we are going to Taiwan on a five-day business trip starting Monday, please take care of Komachi! No matter how many times you say it -- you have to remember it for me! That is my only daughter! If I come back my lovely Komachi will cry and complain to me.... I'm sure you'll recognize the wrath of a father who loves his daughter dearly!
And just like that, we're going to sleep too.
End
This email... Not to mention the question of the negotiation directly to me, I never asked the eldest son why I stayed outside, where I stayed, and who the owner of the house was... Ah~ah, Komachi is your only daughter... But I'm also your only son, right.....?
After reading the email, Xue Xia handed the phone back and smiled lightly [You are really valued so much by your family...]
That's indulgence, right?] This kind of completely irresponsible parents.... Aside from the excessive doting on Komachi, I didn't find any expectations for them.... Well, I'm used to it anyway, so it's nice to be alone with Komachi...
In the face of my rebuttal, Xue Xia just chuckled and shook her head, and did not respond, but from her clear eyes, there was a longing for it..... Perhaps, even such an irresponsible conversation is a kind of enjoyment in her opinion.Even now, their relationship has been greatly eased, and they are not ready to send emails or anything....
[That... How's that for yours?]
I scratched my head and restarted the topic, it wasn't good to be silent like that, at least to distract her.
She turned her head to look at me and reassured her smile [Mother.... I'll be here today. ]
[..........]
No peace of mind at all.... This is one of the greatest miracles of this century, I originally thought that it was Yang Nai or not at all, but it seems that I underestimated the degree of improvement in the relationship between their mother and daughter, and actually made this degree of change for their daughter in a short period of time... According to what was previously said under the snow: Her mother didn't bother with her at school, because it was just a dispensable process for that person, and she didn't expect too much from the snow, and her sister had fully met her requirements... It's just a fixed pattern to arrange her life and future. But now it seems... That's not the case... Congratulations, congratulations.
-----------------------------------------------------
When I came to the school gate, there were already many students accompanying their guardians, who could be parents or elders, standing at the school gate in twos and threes, as if they had already negotiated... Although it is already class time, it is estimated that it is not my turn yet, and my attendance number is relatively low. Even if I'm just one person... Forget it, you should be able to get through a punch or two by then..
I glanced back at her [so.. That's it, after the discussion... I want to go back and buy some ingredients and help Komachi prepare dinner or something..]
[Wait a minute.] He didn't let go under the snow, but pulled me to stand there and whispered to [Mother.... Wanted to talk to you..]
[.....]
Why only tell me now.... I didn't have any mental preparation at all, hey, can I really do it if I didn't prepare for that Gundam? I wouldn't be crushed, would I? If I could... I want to go back now....
Looking at me with a sluggish face, I covered my mouth and laughed very naughtily under the snow, and said with a trilled laugh [.. It's okay, it's okay... It's just talking... Hmm.]
Before he finished speaking, he covered his mouth and chuckled... It's hard for you to hold back so hard... But.. It shouldn't be bad to see her look so relaxed.... Probably.... I still feel apprehensive in my heart....
A few minutes later, a black sedan came from afar and stopped steadily in front of us, and my mood suddenly became tense.... The boss is coming....
The car window slowly opened, and the mother under the snow sat quietly inside, still dressed in costumes, a perfect mature beauty... She slowly opened her eyes, quickly glanced at me and under the snow, and bowed lightly to greet me under the snow, and I followed closely after reacting, and the mother under the snow nodded gently to us in return, and did not get out of the car, and after a gentle glance at the snow with a warm smile, she turned her gaze to me.... Instantly, I felt like I was completely seeing through... She really deserves to be her mother.
[Hikiya Hachiman....]
[Yes, yes!]
Unconsciously, I straightened up and stood in front of her like a soldier waiting for an order, which was completely the conditional reaction of an animal that chooses to surrender in the face of danger...
[Can it take up a little bit of your time?]
[Yes...] As soon as he finished speaking, there was a pain in his foot, judging from the angle and strength, he was kicked in the ankle... Under the snow, I was a little dissatisfied... What did I say wrong?
[Then please get on the bus.] As soon as the words fell, the driver's door in front of me was opened, and a sturdy man in a suit walked down, came to me and gently opened the side door, and then stood straight to the side, as a qualified driver, he didn't need too many instructions to get things done...
Mother under the snow moved a little into the car to make room, and I... After hesitating for a few seconds, I walked into the carriage and sat down under the urging gaze of the snow, and then it was the driver's brother who closed the door for us and quietly blocked the window...
As soon as I got into the car, I smelled a faint... The scent of lavender, and the roof of the car is carved with a pile of unknown materials with snowflake clovers that occupy half of the roof area... Family coat of arms. The carriage is relatively spacious, and it doesn't seem crowded for two people, which is one of the few good news for me...
[You're going to volunteer for a discussion today, right?] After doing that, she turned slightly sideways to face me and opened up the topic first.
[Yes.] Although my answer was calm .... But it's really not going to work... The palms of my hands are already soaked... It's still too reluctant to face her alone...
[Excuse me, can you introduce me to your family?]
[.... I'm sorry, I'm here alone today, they're all on a business trip...] I lowered my head and apologized sincerely, but I thanked my parents for this irresponsible behavior for the first time in history.... It's nice not to be able to come....
[Is it...] After a faint reply, he fell silent, looked at me, and the feeling of being seen through in an instant returned... I'm really not lying....
[What a pity...] I hope to introduce me next time I have the opportunity. ]
[Okay, okay!]
Call.... I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, I couldn't stand being stared at like this again...
[Can you tell me where you want to go?] After retracting that scrutinizing gaze, he asked me in a tone of concern for the juniors, this sudden change made me a little overwhelmed, like the transition between a prisoner and an undercover agent, too sudden to accept naturally....
[Yes... It's a public liberal arts...]
[It's the same as Koyukino's volunteer...] A gentle smile slowly appeared on her face, and she nodded lightly [Then have you ever thought about what kind of work you want to do in the future?or start a business?]
[....] I was silent... Faced with this question, if someone else asks me so, I can answer the answer of the househusband without thinking about it.... Until now, I still haven't thought about what I want to do in the future, because it is definitely a very painful thing for me, so painful that I don't want to think about it or face it, but this question from my mother under the snow gave me a brief opportunity to think.
[Whew....] After a while, I exhaled heavily, clenched my fists with both hands, and looked at her seriously [I will be a man standing behind her] The voice was not loud, but it conveyed my truest thoughts very well, whether she accepted it or not, this was the answer.
[.... As Xiaoxue Nai described, you are very honest.] Faced with my spineless and pursuit-sounding answer, my aunt nodded indifferently and shook her head again [but... Even then, it's difficult]
[I am willing, and I will forsake everything I have except her.] ]
[..... Well, self-esteem, future, independence before success...]
[And life, liberty, rights, and... will be stripped of value] I took her words and continued to add.
She was startled at first, then frowned, but then relaxed again... I close my eyes as if I'm thinking, and I'm recalling something.
After more than ten seconds, I opened my eyes again, separated one from the hands that had been stacked in front of me, and gently stroked my forehead and cheeks. It was a warm, elder's palm, with skin and temperature as delicate as under the snow, looking at me with nostalgia [you and him... It's really like it..] After exclaiming softly, he withdrew his hand [hey...] I watched her quietly, not daring to make any sound, afraid to interrupt her thoughts.
[It's your choice...] As long as it makes her happy... I won't say anything again in four years...] As the sad words passed through my ear, she gave me a peculiarly encouraging smile [well, she's in a hurry... Let's go down..]
[Thank you...]
I saluted her and was about to push the car door and go down. I think of something very heavy... Hope it doesn't bother me too much...
[Wait...] I'll also be there when you volunteer to talk. ]
I grabbed the handle and pulled it to a halt, and my body shook slightly[..... That's... Trouble aunt...]
If you are an auditor... After all, it doesn't say that others are not allowed to sit in on the rules.... It's just that it makes me feel nervous, and other people feel weird... This kind of trivial matter can be ignored compared to the ones just now...
