God knows how many middle-aged people in this world who are depressed and gradually return to mediocrity, pinning their hopes for life and future prospects on their children.

Understandably, speechless.

But Mashiro is one of the most special cases.

After all, not everyone, from the first time they hold a paintbrush, they can make people think, "He/she should do this in his or her life!" "Feelings.

Although he had never experienced this feeling himself, Jiang Yu could surprisingly understand the ardent expectations from the older generation.

Thinking of this, he was suddenly stunned - the parents of the predecessor...... No, should I say that my current family also sees me in this way?

Jiang Yu's previous idea was to make his predecessor self-reliant, so his grandfather would let him come out and live alone. But now that you think about it, or maybe you don't have a little bit of hope that your predecessor will repent, and then roll up your sleeves and do a big job?

After all, in the case of neither long-term nor near-term worries, and at the same time with almost absolute freedom, whether it is the predecessor or Jiang Yu himself, it seems that it is extremely easy to embark on the path of creators, and the difference is only the difference in the direction of creation.

The predecessor was due to the influence of his father, and he was troubled by an obsession that had not yet disappeared.

As soon as he thought of this, Jiang Yu's face couldn't help but become a little strange - I just don't know if the old man at home thought that he would go to galgame, and by the way, write to make some extra money?

I always feel like when I go home this year, it looks like I'll be interrogated fiercely?

And just when Jiang Yu was thinking wildly, the father on the other side of the phone, who was wholeheartedly thinking about his daughter, continued his narration: "However, at some point, I suddenly noticed that when the children of the same generation were playing outside, Zhenbai had been drawing; While the other kids were talking about dating boys, Mashiro kept drawing......"

"To be honest, at that moment, I felt an indescribably colossal sense of guilt."

"Then I suddenly figured out a truth - the possibility of happiness varies from person to person."

"When I was younger, I had the ambition of becoming a painter, and I tried my best, but I didn't succeed. Even so, I don't feel like my life is unfortunate. I think that's the so-called way of survival. ”

"Ah...... Hehe...... I'm sorry, Xiao Yu, I suddenly said something that seemed to be preachy. ”

In this regard, Jiang Yu couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth, and responded in a calm tone: "I agree with your uncle, and I think my father should also agree." ”

"Ah...... Your father...... Maybe that's what I said. The steady male voice on the other end of the phone smiled a little, "So, when Mahai said that he was going to Japan, I was really surprised, and I wanted to object, but I still can't make a decision." But I did lend a helping hand at the beginning, and I asked an old friend I hadn't seen for a long time to help take care of it......"

"I just didn't expect that bastard to throw it directly to his own son like this."

"Uh......" Jiang Yu scratched his hair and said with some embarrassment, "On behalf of my father, I apologize to your uncle." ”

"There's nothing to apologize for, aren't you doing a good job?" Mahaku's father is very generous, although it sounds like he has a little complaint about Jiang He, but he doesn't mean to transfer it to the juniors, "Moreover, after listening to the recent situation told by Rita and Mahaku, I am indeed relieved." ”

"Breathe a sigh of relief...... Is it? Jiang Yu muttered, although he had a vague guess in his heart, he still couldn't help but ask, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Because in a place I didn't know, Mashiro found what she wanted to do."

Hearing this, Jiang Yu raised his eyes and glanced at Zhenbai, chuckled at the other end of the phone and said, "You knew from the beginning that Zhenbai came to Japan to draw comics, right?" ”

"Huh?" Talking to Zhenbai quietly on the side, and at the same time paying attention to Rita on Jiang Yu's side at any time, he couldn't help but exclaim when he heard this, "But, but...... Mashiro started drawing comics, I should have helped hide it from her family? ”

Hearing Rita say this, the true white father on the other end of the phone couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh, Jiang Yu also couldn't help laughing, and then shook his head and said: "Rita, in this world, parents care about them more than their children think." ”

At least, if you don't care about the past, just what you have seen and heard since you came to this world, this is true.

Jiang Yu silently added this sentence in his heart.

Hearing this, Mahaku's father let out a laugh that seemed to be in admiration, and then spoke, "But because Mahaku's talents are of such value, and I know that her talents can influence many people—both good and bad. ”

Jiang Yu knew in his heart, it seemed that the Zhenbai family had a clear understanding of Rita's situation, and even about this girl's complicated thoughts.

"So this time when Rita said she was going to bring Mahaku back to England, I still couldn't stop her. The enlightenment that I couldn't realize still wanted to entrust to my daughter. ”

"I said a high-sounding reason, but in the end I took advantage of my daughter's friend, and I really wasn't a competent father......"

Jiang Yu was silent when he heard this, and only comforted him after a while: "I don't think you need to feel guilty or guilty, uncle, even if you don't interfere, I think Rita will come to Japan sooner or later, come here to see the true white side." ”

"Huh...... Forget it, let's not talk about that. I think this phone call with you today is very valuable. I'm going to take Rita back to the UK this weekend, and the kid is ...... I should be able to move forward independently without the support of others, right? ”

"Then let's do it tonight, please Xiaoyu, you take the phone to Zhenbai, I still have a few words to tell her."

Jiang Yu nodded in response and returned the phone to Zhenbai.

And while Zhenbai was talking to his father, Jiang Yu had a smile on the corner of his mouth, looked at Rita and said, "Congratulations, you won the award in the competition." ”

"Huh? What's going on? ”

Xiao Bury raised his hand with curiosity on his face and asked in a loud voice.

Rita played with the blonde hair on her sideburns with her right hand and said quite reservedly: "It's not a big game that deserves to be publicized all over the world......"

Looking at the same action as a red-haired tsundere girl in his memory, Jiang Yu couldn't help but smile, and then said: "The most taboo thing in life is stagnation." No matter how rough the road ahead is, as long as you are moving in the right direction, you are closer to happiness than staying where you are. ”

Rita's face was stunned, and she repeated it in a low voice a few times, savoring this sentence in her heart, and then suddenly smiled, and said angrily: "What you said is like my road ahead must be very bumpy? ”

Jiang Yu's expression was also stunned, then he smiled helplessly, shook his head and sighed: "You know that I didn't mean that." And this is not my original statement, I am just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. ”

The girl in the hamster cloak lowered her head and showed a thoughtful expression on her face - she has been doing up master work with a partner recently, and she doesn't understand this meaningful sentence too deeply, but she also faintly feels a little truth in her heart.

Is this why my brother has been doing club activities with Sister Hui and Anyi's predecessors since then?

Xiao Bury seems to have grasped the reason for his brother's action.

Rita didn't hold up for a few seconds after finishing the sentence, and then she sneered and revealed her true form, with a bright and bright smile like a flower, and said as if pointedly: "Anyway, even if I return to England, I will ask you to take care of me in the future?" Tu ~ Su ~ Old ~ Division ~? ”

Jiang Yu naturally couldn't guess that the girl in front of him had already been connected with him in other ways, so he just smiled and shrugged his shoulders, noncommittal.

As for the "Tu Su" that the other party called, he also thought that it was just a nickname on the line, and he didn't associate the other party with "Igarashi" at all.

…… In other words, normal people don't think that so many coincidences will happen to them that people want to exclaim, "Is this fate?"

Wait—aren't you tired of talking incessantly?!

However, for the fact that this girl is about to leave, his true thoughts are actually quite regrettable.

After all......

After Rita returned to the UK, the task of cooking for the two young girls in the family fell on him again!

So you're worried about this, ahhhh

After some cheerful gossip, Mashiro's long over-the-top phone call finally came to an end. After hanging up the phone, the yellow-haired girl stood quietly in place for a while, and then walked straight to her room, and Rita quickly followed with a smile when she saw this.

It seems that the other party has the intention of staying here today.

However, Jiang Yu, as the owner, of course would not ask such an uninteresting question at this moment.

Parting is the most sorrowful, let alone between two friends who regard each other as the most important beings in their lives.

Some people say that all encounters in this world are reunions after a long absence.

In the same way, all the partings in this world are also for the next better encounter.

As the boy passed by the living room, he glanced at the neon-lit night scene and thought so.

……

"Jiang He, you guy is a bastard!"

"Shhh...... ...... "Jiang He held the phone far away with a disgusted face, but Rao was like this, and he could still clearly hear the complaints from his friends who had not been seen for a long time, "What's the matter, what cruel words did that kid say to you?" Like, 'Don't take Xiao Zhenbai away!' "Do more of what a father should do!" "- or something?"

"Humph!" Father Zhenbai snorted coldly, his tone was still unhappy, "Xiao Yu is completely different from your style of being a father, he at least knows what etiquette and politeness are!" ”

"Tut-tut......" Jiang He shook his head, put the cigarette butt into the ashtray, extinguished it directly, and threw it into the trash can next to him, "That kid is not that polite in front of acquaintances?" ”

Zhenbai's father couldn't help but stagnate when he heard this, and after a moment of silence, he said helplessly: "I said, that's your son, right, when you are a father, you just expose your son?" ”

"Hahaha——!" Jiang He laughed twice, rubbed his tired shoulders, and whispered, "I'm sorry this time, I can't entertain you in Japan." ”

Mahaku's father said nonchalantly: "You and I don't have to be so careful—ah, but it's not the same thing as you dumping my daughter directly into your son's care, and not telling me a word at first!" ”

"And ......," said this, the voice of the true white father on the other end of the phone was low, "what do you mean?" Interested in matchmaking? Although I feel very guilty about Mashiro's life so far, it doesn't mean that I will easily agree with her in relationships, I think you understand, right? ”

"Yes—yes—" Jiang He said in a lengthened voice and nonchalantly, "but I'm not like you. I don't care how children fall in love, it's his freedom to choose who the kid likes, and he is not qualified to be a father. All you need to do is smile and pat the child's shoulder at the end and watch the child be happy. ”

"You ——!" Father Zhenbai's words were suddenly stagnant, but he also had such a long-term friendship with Jiang He, so he quickly adjusted, "...... Of course you don't care if it's your son, forget it, then let's talk about business? ”

Jiang He straightened up from his seat, and Zhengse responded, "Okay, let's talk about business!" ”

"How's the project going?"

"It's not too ideal, and there are more difficulties than expected."

"Hardware or software issues?"

"Do you think the software is the problem with me?"

"This ...... It's really irrefutable. So, what's wrong with the device? ”

"yes...... I guess my expectations were too high at first...... Maybe we'll have to wait a few more years for the equipment to mature. ”

"And you're going to put this project on hold?"

When Mahaku's father asked this sentence, his words were full of confusion. In his opinion, Jiang He is not the kind of person who gives up whenever he has difficulties.

There are many kinds of people in this world when facing difficulties. There are those who hit the south wall and turn back, and there are those who keep hitting until the south wall is broken. According to his understanding of Jiang He, the other party undoubtedly belongs to the latter.

"That's not necessary." Jiang He's tone was light, and he didn't seem to be embarrassed by the predicament he was facing, "Anyway, there are no eye-catching projects, just hang like this, and you can afford to drag it out." ”

"...... Jianghe Software is really confident to speak."

"And what else, old friend?"

"Hahaha——! yes, that's you, old friend. ”

……

On Saturday morning, the clouds were high and the sky was wide.

"Disturbed ——?"

Jiang Yu carried his guitar on his back and knocked on the door, and when he found that no one responded, he was not surprised, but frowned and pushed open the heavy wooden door of the recording studio.

As soon as the soundproofed wooden door was pushed open, the sound of a band playing could be heard coming from it.

Guitar, bass, drum kit, electronic organ.

After listening carefully for a while, and after identifying each timbre, Jiang Yu smiled and stepped into it. Programmer in the second dimension
