Beichuan Ai hesitated for a long time before raising his hand as if compromised, patted her back and hugged her back.

If there were no real reasons and reasons, she thought that she would not be able to really let go of the things and words that Echigo Nozomi had said to her, but now, with everyone is doing well, please allow her heart to shake a little bit, and let them continue to be a pair of friends who can lend their shoulders.

Nozomi Echigo, who was hugged back, glanced at Ai Kitagawa with moist eyes, and after the two let go of each other, she picked up Ai Kitagawa's face and skillfully touched the corner of her eye: "God praise your eyes." ”

Such a sensational picture doesn't seem to fit the scene, and some people decisively break it.

"I said, why are you talking crookedly, isn't it just a gift, as for it? Not to mention what you said three years ago, I don't remember what you said to me a year ago. Ash Saki grabbed his hair rudely, squinted at Echigo out of the corner of his eye, he smacked his mouth uneasily, and seemed a little embarrassed to see everyone staring at him, and licked his lips, the force of the button under his hand was a little stronger.

"Oh, little Gray Boy, you're dying—" Purple Plains calmly looked at Ash Akira's blood bar.

Beichuan Ai smiled embarrassedly, restraining herself from touching the corner of her eye that had just been kissed. It was a nostalgic move, and it had been a long time since she and Nozomi Echigo had been so close.

"Yo Xi, since it's a gift from Nozomi, then I'll definitely take it with me and use it perfectly, but if the small folding fan is broken, you will also be responsible for repairing it~"

"Hehe, it's very happy." Echigo smiled softly.

Kitagawa Ai turned around, and didn't have much patience and curiosity about the last unopened birthday gift, and tore the outer wrapping paper extremely rudely, and after opening the back carton, the dark purple jewelry box inside was revealed.

She froze for a moment, slowly opened the jewelry box, and a thumb-sized whistle pendant broke into her eyes.

She subconsciously looked up and searched.

Huang Se, who had been paying attention to Kitagawa's love expression, immediately came over, he lay on the sofa, looked at Kitagawa and said, "I found a jewelry store that I endorsed before to order, I think this is good." ”

"Why whistle?" That's what Kitagawa Ai wonders.

Huang Se touched his head embarrassedly and smiled: "Because I think that Xiao Beichuan, who is standing on the side of the arena and commanding, is the best-looking, and this whistle is also the most suitable for you!" ”

"Thank you, I love it." Kitagawa Ai nodded and smiled, she picked up the necklace, her eyes rolled after finding the button, and then looked at Huang Se: "Mind helping me bring it?" ”

"Glad to be!"

Huang Se quickly flipped over from the sofa, took the necklace with both hands, and carefully brought it for her, expecting her to praise or react shyly.

Kitagawa Ai looked down at the necklace around her neck, nodded with satisfaction, and then patted Huang Se's arm as encouragement: "Thank you." ”

Kate: That's what QAQ looks like??

The birthday gifts given by everyone are very suitable for their personalities, except for Echigo and Kuse, which are more surprising. The sky outside the window is getting darker and darker, and Ai Kitagawa is also ready to drive this group of teenagers home, thinking that there will be a game tomorrow, even if most of these people will not play, but they must also protect their excellent mental state in the stands tomorrow.

Except for Shihara, who often gets lost, and finally asks Akaji to send him back in person, everyone else goes home smoothly and assures their assistant teacher that they will definitely send a text message to report their safety when they get home.

For a while, the crowded living room suddenly emptied, which made her a little unaccustomed.

"Are you happy?" Holding a cup of hot tea, Tezuka Kunishin sat on the sofa and looked at Ai Kitagawa who came from the door.

Beichuan nodded, stepped forward and landed his hands on Tezuka Kunishin's shoulders, and squeezed it vigorously: "Happy, thank you, father." ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do."

Maybe it's because Ai Kitagawa has changed too much in this year, so that Tezuka Kunishin, who thought that his adopted daughter was not close to him, also relaxed a lot, and he was even able to say the name that had been taboo frequently, and he was not worried that his daughter would lose her soul or have a resentful mood.

"I promised your dad to take care of you." He said, his lowered face showing a bit of tenderness and love in the light, "To watch you grow up, watch you graduate, watch you get married, and personally hand over your hand to another man who can take care of you in my place, this is the only purpose for me to live in this world." ”

Kitagawa Ai frowned slightly, she sighed, and said softly: "Actually, father, you can too"

She paused, as if overwhelmed by what was next.

"You can find another partner, after all, you're still young."

Tezuka Kunishin's action of drinking tea paused, he slowly turned his head and looked at Ai Kitagawa calmly: "How did you have this idea?" ”

He turned back, left Beichuan Ai's hand, stood up, walked to the TV, stared at the photo of the three people above, and said indifferently: "All my love is given to your father, and I no longer have the strength to love others, and I won't love." ”

"Don't overthink it, kid." Tezuka Kunishin turned around and smiled softly: "You are the most precious treasure left to me by Ah Fei, and nothing can replace you." ”

Kitagawa Ai's slightly stunned look was imprinted in his eyes, she naturally wanted her father to fall in love with a man other than her father, but she couldn't be so selfish after all, couldn't she: "I didn't mean that-"

"Whatever you mean, don't say anything like that again." Tezuka Kunika's expression was stern, even with some anger, "Even if Ah Fei is gone, he is the only one I love." ”

He looked away and took a deep breath: "I'm sorry, my tone is not very good, Xiao Ai, you go to rest first, I want to stay alone for a while." ”

"I'm sorry." Beichuan Ai lowered her head and looked at Tezuka Kunishin with an uneasy expression, "Actually, I don't want you to leave me, but this is too selfish."

"You have the right to be selfish to me, little love, this is what I owe you and Ah Fei. Be obedient and go to sleep. ”

Beichuan Ai hesitated for a few seconds, looked at Tezuka Kunikao's lonely back, and then left the first floor softly.

She once realized that she was in love with this man who accompanied her after leaving and lost Tezuka Kunishin, and she also struggled for a long time between herself and the Grand Duke, although her personal thoughts prevailed, but she didn't mind showing her attitude, as if she could appear to be more kind.

She smiled self-deprecatingly, even in the skin of a child, she was nothing more than a hypocritical adult.
