From the expressway in Kyoto City, you can take the Expressway directly.

Probably because of Friday, there are a lot of cars on the automatic lane.

But today's weather is typical of autumn air, and the sun on the skyline is dazzling but not scorching, and can only hang down on the upper side of the windshield and reflect slightly.

Saki Chu Xiaoto is very honest when he sits in the car, he doesn't play with his mobile phone, he doesn't look at the scenery, he just lowers his head and clasps his fingers, and occasionally changes his position, which is completely different from ordinary girls.

The point is that she always nods her head when she sits in her position, if it weren't for the seat belt strangled from the moat in front of her, I'm afraid that her head would have been in close contact with the glove box.

This reminded Yuan Laiguang of low blood sugar last time-

"Didn't you rest last night?"

Yuan Laiguang's sudden voice startled her, her body that was still shaky suddenly tensed, and there was a click sound from her neck.

"Here, packing up."

Sakuhatsu Koto held up his tired face, and his eyes dodged and lowered slightly.

Yuan Laiguang had already figured out that her lying ability was extremely poor, but he just glanced in the rearview mirror on the central control screen, and when he saw the tiredness on her little face, he directly said in a deep voice: "To tell the truth." ”

"And... Part-time... Fold things for small children. ”

Sakuhatsu Koto was tightened by his gaze, but he knew that he couldn't fool him at all, and his fingers tightly clasped the bag in his arms and explained carefully.

was stared at by him with scrutiny for a moment, and felt hairy in his heart, Sakutsu Koto was afraid that he would be angry because of his disobedience, so he hesitated for a moment and opened his mouth and was about to speak:

"I... I want to..."

She was only halfway through her words when her mouth was closed.

Because Yuan Laiguang, who was driving in his sight, waved his hand.

There is also no imaginary tone of reproach and impatience.

"If you're sleepy, just sleep for a while, you'll be there before noon." Yuan Laiguang looked to the left with the peripheral vision of his eyes, and pressed the button to raise and lower the seat in the passenger seat.

Then he pointed directly in front of her:

"There's a drink in the glove box in front of you, drink it whenever you're thirsty."

Saki Hatsu felt his vision gradually slanting, and the center of gravity of his body slowly moved to his back, and he opened his slightly reddish mouth and his eyes widened.

She didn't seem to expect this reaction from Minamoto Yorimitsu.

Quietly looking at the side face of Yuan Laiguang, as if rendering the upper layer of warm aperture, stopping in the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, time seems to stand still at this moment, and the reflection occupies the position of the pupil.

"See what?"

Yuan Laiguang put his hands on the steering wheel, frowned and looked at the little girl in a daze, and said in a somewhat impatient tone: "You will see my parents with a tired face, do you think this is very appropriate?" ”

Saki Hatsu Koto suddenly came back to his senses.

Then quickly close your eyes and pretend to sleep.

He hurriedly whispered sorry.

Yuan Laiguang was amused by her cautious and dumb look, but quickly turned her face slightly to pretend to be a little impatient, lest she start to think more when she saw her smiling face.

He can also be regarded as holding Sakichu Xiaoto's temper, knowing that because she feels that she owes herself something, he is afraid of her with a good attitude, and if she is not good, she is obedient.

But it reminded him of the past.

Lust...

Is it really love?

Yuan Laiguang couldn't help but turn his face sideways again, looking at the face of Sakutsu Koto beside him.

Unexpectedly, she had fallen asleep peacefully.

The slender black eyelashes close like wings in front of the eyes, the lip flaps are occasionally reflected by the light outside the car window, and the corners of the mouth are slightly open and there seem to be crystal water droplets overflowing.

"That's definitely saliva, right?"

Yuan Laiguang's thoughts began to grow like vines again.

The Roulette Ji project is still ongoing.

It's just that...

Plans seem to be drifting more and more off the mark.

And I seem to be a little at a loss for what to do.

If the hints given by the simulator are correct, then it can be inferred that Sakuhara really likes himself, so he still wants to continue trading as he started?

Fake intimidation, fake threats, fake persecution...

It doesn't seem to be of much use.

And how should I deal with this feeling?

"Bell bell bell—"

The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted his thoughts, causing Yuan Laiguang to subconsciously press the tone reduction button, and then looked at the co-pilot seat next to him.

Sakihatsu, who was asleep, twisted his body.

Then continue to drool.

“......”

Yuan Laiguang's eyelids jumped.

I glanced at the phone, it was an unknown number, and I swiped it up to connect.

"Hello? This is Yorimitsu Minamoto. ”

"Attorney Yuan, I'm sorry to bother you."

"You are?"

"I'm Yuma Kuroi from the Kyoto Broadcasting Office, and I'm calling you to ask if you have time in three days to participate in the bureau's annual review of program awards, and if you're free, we'll arrange a seat in advance, and the president said I'd like to see you alone..."

"I'll go when I have time."

"Okay, I see, I'm really bothering you."

He hung up the phone in a low voice, and looked at the little girl again, saliva had already flowed to the collar of her shirt.

After making sure that the other party really continued to sleep, Yuan Laiguang took out a piece of paper and wiped it for her, and then gradually accelerated and drove in the direction of his hometown.

Urban high-rise buildings outside the car window are becoming scarcer.

On both sides, endless fields and withered yellow trees lined the road.

Even the wind outside the car window smelled of earth.

As the car slowly drove down the automatic lane and entered the area with the "Sanwa Town" street sign, the dusty hometown memories were gradually opened.

Minamoto Yoriko turned off the car navigation.

Rows of intermittent telephone poles gradually appeared, and the low streets were mostly built by one family, and the streets were also two lanes narrower than those in the city.

There are children and dogs chasing and playing on the sidewalk.

There were flocks of sparrows chirping on the wires.

There are fewer vehicles and pedestrians, and the pace of walking is much slower, and the proportion of elderly people is slowly increasing, and there is a slow-paced atmosphere.

Yuan Laiguang looked at this familiar and unfamiliar place, and his complicated mind was rarely calm, and there was a feeling of homesickness.

The faces of the parents suddenly appeared in front of them.

The hometown is still further away.

After crossing the uphill road of nearly thirty degrees, Sakutsu Koto had already woken up from a sense of weightlessness, and at the same time, he was reminded that he was almost home.

The old house in my memory is becoming clearer and clearer.

Memories came in like snowflakes.

In the end, at the end of the field of vision, Yuan Laiguang saw a house that was exactly the same as in his memory.

The house looks like it's about a few decades old, but in fact, most of the houses in Japan are of this age, and they were built in a bubble.

Half of the vines climbed on the gray walls outside, but at this time of autumn most of them were dead branches, and the peeling eaves were exposed with gray cement.

In front of the door, there was a middle-aged man squatting on the side of the road, holding a hammer-like tool in his hand, and he was constantly beating the wood under his hand.

The sedan slowly stopped in front of the door.

The middle-aged man stopped the movement in his hand and looked up, and found that a strange car was parked at the door of his house, and immediately scolded rudely:

"What a bastard! Don't you look at the road when you park? Is it because your parents haven't educated!? ”

Di Di –

The sedan honked twice.

Seeing that his polite words just now were not adopted, the tall man's face became even more unhappy, his face suddenly darkened, he stood up directly with a hammer, stared at the car in front of him with wide eyes, stepped forward and brandished a hammer and threatened:

"Didn't you hear what I just said? It's rude to park your car in front of someone's house, you know! Get out of the car and let me educate and teach your parents..."

The man's loud voice suddenly stopped.

The hammer he wielded in his hand stopped moving.

I saw Yuan Laiguang in the car walk out, looked at the middle-aged man with a strange face, hesitated for a moment and then asked:

"Father, were you scolding yourself just now?"

"Do you want to hear what you're talking about?"

“......”
