The king of rebirth meets his ex-husband

Chapter 9

"Hey, Chang Gu, what are you talking about?" Granny Asakura, who was sitting next to her, immediately reached out her hand to stop Chang Gu's possible long speech. "That kid Qingye will have a lot of good fortune in the future!" He said while looking at the surrounding situation, he was relieved after seeing that the children didn't seem to pay attention to their gossip, but he gave Zhang Gu a supercilious look.When is it not good to sigh, but when the children are happy, this Zhang Gu really has no wink!

"Yes, yes, luck is always there." Zhang Gu also quickly changed his words, "Look at my mouth, I accidentally said that I slipped my tongue, and I should be hit." As he said, he really patted his hand lightly. mouth.

Hearing this, Tezuka Kunimitsu lowered his head slightly, and put the last piece of cake seriously into his mouth as if he didn't care.

Disregard is sometimes a necessary courtesy.

"Okay, everyone finished eating, let's clean up." Dean Akiyama stood up in good time, clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and then said.

"Yes, clean up first." Grandma Zhang Gu responded immediately, leading everyone to put away the tableware scattered around.

Xiaozhi rubbed his unsatisfied stomach, looked at the empty cake tray on the table with regret, and thought to himself: The cake baked by Aunt Qing is delicious, but it’s a bit small, and I can’t get enough every time... …

Seeing Xiaozhi's unsatisfactory expression, Dean Qiushan said with a smile, "There will be children's birthdays soon." Only when children celebrate their birthdays, Aoba will cook, but every time these children will eat it reluctantly.

Xiaozhi's face brightened immediately.

Everyone was in a hurry, and soon the restaurant was almost cleaned up.

"Dangdang Dangdang." The clock rang, and it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.

"It's time for tidying up, Xiaozhi and brother Tezuka will see you first." Dean Akiyama turned his head and looked outside, the sky cleared up. "My wife, please send Tezuka to me."

"Okay." Grandpa Akiyama handed the tablecloth to Granny Asakura, who was also cleaning the table beside him, "I'll go pick up the car right away, you just wait for me at the gate." After finishing speaking, Tezuka Kunimitsu nodded After beckoning, he walked away quickly.

"Brother Tezuka, goodbye." Xiaozhi smiled and waved to Tezuka Kunimitsu. Tidying up time is a necessary procedure at six o'clock in the afternoon every day. Aunt Qing asked everyone to record the daily life together.Those who can write can keep a diary, and those who can't write can draw.

Today, he not only wants to write a diary, but also draws brother Tezuka...

"Again—" Tezuka Kunimitsu raised his hand to wave, but was surprised to see Xiaozhi turn around at a very fast speed and run away as if someone was chasing him.

"See you." When he spoke out the last word lightly, Xiao Zhi's figure had already disappeared behind the door of the restaurant.This is completely different from the treatment of being treated like a guest when we first met, and Tezuka Kunimitsu couldn't help thinking: Could it be that his treatment was gone at the last moment after his birthday?

"Tezuka—" Dean Akiyama called the young man in a low voice.

"Yes." Tezuka replied quickly.

"Ahem." Dean Qiushan coughed, and then explained lightly, "Six o'clock in the afternoon is the tidying time that Aoba sets for the children. They can write down or draw interesting things during the day. Xiaozhi should be Hurry up and write a diary."

"Ah—" Tezuka Kunimitsu finally understood, it was Koizumi Aoba again...

"Thank you very much for coming, Tezuka." Although he didn't understand what Aoba did to come to Xiaozhi's birthday party at such a critical moment, Dean Akiyama felt extremely grateful for his presence. "The kids had a great time."

"Me too, I had a very happy day today." Tezuka Kunimitsu said sincerely.Moreover, he also gained a lot.

"That's good." Dean Qiushan looked at the young man in full bloom in front of him with relief.He had been to the orphanage many times when he was in elementary school, and his knowledgeable and courteous behavior always won the praise of the nurses and grandmas of the orphanage.I didn't expect him to be so steady and responsible after two years of absence.It's just... Dean Akiyama remembered how cramped and heavy Tezuka Kunimitsu was when he first arrived in the afternoon, and said cautiously, "Tezuka, just do everything according to the situation, and you can't force anything."

"Yes, I wrote it down." Tezuka replied respectfully, feeling turbulent for Dean Akiyama's words.

It's not polite words such as I believe in you, nor is it a compliment such as you will succeed, but just a reassuring word of "nothing can be forced".

If he had heard this before today, he might have sneered at the person's complacency and reluctance to make progress; but after three hours of blank mind and being at a loss what to do, his state of mind also changed accordingly up.Freed from the cocoon that binds him, his whole body seems to be able to fly with ease.

Upon hearing this, Dean Akiyama stretched out his hand and patted Tezuka's shoulder, but said nothing more.

Not long after, the two had already walked out of the restaurant and came to the yard.

Sure enough, the sky was so clear that there was no trace of morning haze.The cool breeze after the rain blows through the cherry blossom trees in the middle of the yard, mixed with the fresh fragrance of leaves.

At the end of April, the flowers bloom and the green leaves grow.

Tezuka Kunimitsu's expression suddenly softened inexplicably, and his slightly rippling eyes cast on the cherry blossom trees that had grown green leaves.

"Didi." The horn sounded, and Grandpa Qiushan's car stopped at the door.

"Dean Akiyama, farewell." Tezuka Kunimitsu bowed and said goodbye with elegance, sincerity and infinite grace.

"Well, let's go." Dean Qiushan nodded slightly, "Be careful on the road."

"Yes." Tezuka Kunimitsu turned around and got in the car to leave, never noticing the secretly staring eyes of the third floor...

"Six o'clock in the afternoon." In a lounge on the third floor of the orphanage, the clock sounded exactly when the second hand pointed to twelve o'clock.

The sound is clear and crisp, resounding in the silent room, it is alarming.

Koizumi Aoba, who was reclining on the soft bed, opened her eyes suddenly, no trace of sleepiness could be seen in the black and white pupils.

She has always liked clocks that can tell the time on time, and even her newly bought car was replaced with a clock that can tell the time automatically as soon as she got it.

Six o'clock in the afternoon - the routine tidying time of the Children's Welfare Institute.
