Hopefully, you'll be able to walk the talk. ”

Kitagawa Haseji said in a calm tone.

He saw in the eyes of Shingo Harano that were different from the vicissitudes that he should have at his age.

Although he has doubts in his heart, he will not ask for the bottom of it as Xue's father, because he already has a rough idea of some things through investigation, and now that he sees himself, his senses are not bad.

"Go up, they'll have been waiting a long time." Kitagawa Haseji said lightly.

The two quickly wiped off their bodies and changed into the clothes that had already been prepared.

It's a bathrobe, and the cuffs are a little fat, although I haven't worn it, but Shigo Harano also refused to let the maid of the Kitagawa family dress himself, just kidding, I have hands and feet and I still need you to help me put it on.

Shingo Harano is wearing a navy blue yukata, in fact, the yukata is the lowest and most casual in the kimono, nothing is exquisite, there are no "needed" accessories, as long as you understand the collar and around.

It can be paired with clogs, grass shoes, or with fans, scarves, and it is normal to wear feathers. There are many different types of buckles, and the most common is the beak type.

Putting on clogs and walking on the pure wooden floor made a squeaky sound, he felt a little twisted, he didn't like to wear these shoes, and Mago Harano always thought that the clogs were like a strengthened version of flip-flops...

Following in the footsteps of Kitagawa Haseji, the two did not speak along the way, and soon came to a spacious and elegant room.

Pushing open the door, Shigo Harano saw Kitagawa Yukino and their mother and son talking—mainly where Mrs. Kitagawa was trembling and laughing, and she kept talking about something.

Seeing that they were back, he stopped talking, but Shingo Harano clearly saw that there was something strange on Kitagawa Yukino's face.

Kitagawa Yukino sat there on his knees, bowing his head rarely, and his usual cold temperament seemed to have disappeared suddenly, not only Harano Shingo, but even Kitagawa Haseji looked surprised.

Kitagawa Haseji asked inexplicably, "Wife, what's wrong, what's wrong with Yukino..." A shy expression?

And Kitagawa Yukino raised his head, his eyelashes trembled slightly, his face had a faint flush, and the whole person knelt there and looked very shy, and the appearance of the usual iceberg beautiful girl was simply not a person, just like a normal girl.

After looking around, she whispered in a slightly nasal voice, "Yuanye-kun, and my father, please take a seat." ”

After saying that, she lowered her eyes again.

Shigo Harano and Kitagawa Haseji knelt down and sat down at one time, Kitagawa Haseji looked at his wife with a puzzled face, what did you hear just now? A daughter calls her father?

You must know that since Yukino moved out of the house, she has never called her father again, and naturally she has never called her mother, so what's wrong today.

Looking at his wife's faint smile, he felt that his wife must have said something, but what did he do to make his daughter change her usual appearance.

Mrs. Kitagawa didn't pay attention to the gaze cast by Haseji Kitagawa, but turned around and took out a small box from under the table.

She opened the box, revealing its true face, and she took out the contents and placed them on the square table in front of the four.

It turned out to be a small shriveled cuttlefish and a piece of seaweed, and a long thread.

This made Shingo Harano look uncertain.

Mrs. Kitagawa opened her mouth and said: "This is for the two of you, it is especially to encourage you to live in the future, and please put away the wild sauce~." After saying that, he pushed these things to the side of Shigo Harano, but the expression on his face was a little funny.

Kitagawa Yukino's face became more and more ruddy after seeing these things.

He didn't understand what this meant, and it seemed that he didn't understand, so Kitagawa Haseji explained in a whisper.

The gifts given by everyone in the Celestial Empire for marriage and engagement are generally practical. Some items with blessing symbolism are generally used in weddings, rather than as gifts such as bride price in advance.

But when the islanders get engaged, they give them strange gifts with special symbolic meanings, including dried cuttlefish to symbolize men, seaweed to symbolize a fertile woman, a long linen thread to signify white-headed old age, and a folding fan to symbolize the future of wealth.

Seeing that Xue Nai nodded in agreement, he immediately panicked, and got engaged directly? This is too child's play, how can it be the same as the real thing!

He was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what to do to react.

"That's... Isn't it a little too hasty, I haven't reacted to what is going on. Shingo Harano touched his head and said.

"That's right, but the etiquette is also done." Mrs. Kitagawa narrowed her eyes and said with a smile.

Kitagawa Haseji glanced at Shingo Harano, as if he remembered what they had said in the bath, raised his hand in front of his mouth, coughed twice, and then said unhurriedly: "Since the ceremony is completed, then let's go out first, wife, give the two children a little time and space." ”

"Huh? But I still have something to say..."

With a wave of his hand, Kitagawa Haseji stood up directly, and he didn't even sit on his buttocks, so he went to pull his wife out of the room, making Mrs. Kitagawa look inexplicable.

As the voices of Kitagawa and his wife from outside became farther and farther away, Shingo Harano and Yukino Kitagawa also fell silent.

Looking at the few strange items on the table, he really felt that his old face was red, did the islanders send these things? And what the hell is Licheng, it's just an engagement, it's too.

"Senior Sister Beichuan, uncle and aunt should be just joking, you don't have to take it seriously."

Kitagawa Yukino was stunned for a moment, this was a little different from what she originally thought.

"So what do you mean, what you just said was just a scene in front of my parents?" Her voice seemed to be a little colder again, and it was no longer as shy as before.

"Say? What am I talking about? ”

Kitagawa Yukino raised his head suddenly, looked into his eyes and said word by word: "You said that you like me and will protect me, even if it costs your life." ”

"Are these the things you say about my father?"

Shingo Harano has a headache, no, how do you know...

He blurted out directly: "Isn't this what I just said to your father in the bathhouse, how do you know?" ”

He walked here with Kitagawa Haseji, he could be sure that the other party didn't have time to tell Kitagawa Yukino these words, why did she suddenly know?

While he was still thinking, a faint voice came.

"Because my mother installed a bugging device in the baths."
