Crossover Anime: Miss, please don't do this, I still have a silly cat to raise.

The old fox was taken aback, then looked to the other side and shook his head.

Lu Nan nodded: "Then you can go first. We don't need you as a translator here anymore."

The old fox breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ran away and disappeared.

Lu Nan looked across the way, and soon a special energy burst forth from his heart, revealing a figure on the other side.

Mamoru Yotsuya looked at his hand in confusion. What was that thing just now? It was like a higher being looking down on a lower being, temporarily altering some of his characteristics.

And now he understands why Lu Nan asked him if he was afraid of pain; it really does hurt.

Lu Nan was the first to greet him: "Hello, Uncle. I'm so sorry I didn't say hello earlier."

Yotsuya Mamoru looked at the man in front of him: "It's alright. You should know why I called you here to discuss this, right?"

Lu Nan nodded: "I know, but before that, I'd like to ask Uncle a few questions."

Yotsuya Mamoru paused for a moment, then nodded: "Go ahead and ask."

"What exactly is this about Miko's 'being able to see'? Uncle, do you think this is safe? Why don't you talk to Miko properly?"

Yotsuya Mamoru hadn't expected Ronan to ask these questions. He sighed softly, "It's my fault, because I can see, and Miko probably can only see because of me."

Lu Nan said in a deep voice, "This is very unfair to her."

It's not fair to her that she has to live in fear during the years when she should be enjoying her youth.

Yotsuya Mamoru smiled wryly: "Yes, but it's not fair to me either."

“That’s none of my business. I only care about seeing Zi,” Lu Nan said without hesitation.

Yotsuya Mamoru's expression froze. Something wasn't right with this guy. He wasn't behaving like this just now! What? Is he being treated differently?

Yotsuya Mamoru waved his hand: "Next question. I believe I can protect Miko, but I doubt you now, and I doubt whether you can protect Miko at all."

Yotsuya Mamoru looked at Lu Nan: "I know you're a bit special, and Old Fox has told me about you too, but as a father, I can't rest easy until I've seen it for myself, so..."

Suddenly, black mist erupted from the middle-aged man opposite, covering the entire sky. The black fog enveloped the entire house like an inverted bowl.

"Let me see it with my own eyes."

The figure shrouded in black mist looked at Lu Nan: "Your skill."

Lu Nan nodded, and a burst of golden light erupted, like a pillar of light shooting into the sky, instantly dispelling the fog completely.

The golden light vanished in an instant, leaving only a bewildered Yotsuya Mamoru behind.

He pushed up his glasses with trembling hands: "I think I just saw a golden bull roaring at me... What was that?"

"Aww, the Martial Soul True Form has arrived."

"?"

"Haha, just kidding, that's just a way of expressing myself, that's my older brother."

Chapter 344 The Night at the Yotsuya House is Not Quiet (Bonus Chapter for Bounty, Thank You Everyone)

Yotsuya Mamoru ignored Lu Nan's jokes and began to seriously examine him.

He's handsome, talented, and most importantly, he cares a lot about Jianzi, but for some reason, he's a bit annoyed.

It's like a hardworking old farmer who has painstakingly planted his vegetables, goes home for a nap, and then wakes up to find a pig rooting up his best and biggest cabbage, with his wife and son cheering him on. When he tries to stop it, he finds he can't beat the pig.

This is so frustrating.

Yotsuya Mamoru slumped against the armrest: "Fine, you're very capable. At least Miko will be safe."

He sighed again, feeling that he had sighed more tonight than he had since he died.

Yotsuya Mamoru looked up at the moon: "One last question, as for why..."

Before he could finish speaking, the balcony door was suddenly pulled open, and Yotsuya Miko rushed in, blocking Lu Nan's way and staring intently at Yotsuya Mamoru.

Yotsuya Miko raised her head and said, "Dad, you're not allowed to bully him!"

Yotsuya Mamoru was stunned for a moment, then felt both happy and angry. He was happy because his daughter finally admitted that she could see him, and angry because all of this was because of that brat!

Yotsuya Mamoru opened his mouth, feeling both amused and exasperated, unsure of what to say for a moment.

Lu Nan tugged at Yotsuya Miko's hand and said, "Don't worry, Uncle didn't make things difficult for me, he was just chatting with me."

Yotsuya Miko looked at Lu Nan with a puzzled expression: "But what about that noise just now..."

Lu Nan shrugged: "That was just to show that I have the ability to protect you, it didn't mean a fight was going to break out, don't worry."

Yotsuya Miko blushed slightly and murmured, "I see..."

Yotsuya Mamoru nodded: "Yes, we're just chatting. Miko, you go inside first. Dad will have a proper chat with you later. I still have some men's topics to discuss with him."

Yotsuya Miko then walked into the house, turning back every few steps.

Mamoru Yotsuya was silent for a long time, then sighed deeply: "Ah—Miko is always like this. Although she always treats the world with a soft touch, she is actually more resilient than anyone else inside. When I died, Touko fainted. It was Miko who held Kyosuke while dealing with everything, without shedding a single tear from beginning to end, until she finally cried in her room."

Mamoru Yotsuya looked at his hands: "So I've always been very at ease with her, and even forgot that she's just a little girl. These are things she shouldn't have to bear. Her youth should have been more beautiful. You're right, these things are not fair to her at all."

“I can understand why she doesn’t want to admit she can see me, because she’s afraid, afraid that I will suddenly change my attitude and hurt her, hurt the people who are important to her. I know, I’ve been able to see for decades, how could I not know?”

Yotsuya Mamoru smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I should thank you. If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would have been able to see Miko's gaze. I've always wanted to say that Dad has never blamed you."

Lu Nan silently raised his hand: "You should have said that to Jianzi when you came inside."

Mamoru Yotsuya scratched his cheek: "I'm a little embarrassed, it's been a year since he died and I'm still being so sentimental..."

Lu Nan rolled his eyes, ignored his conflicted father, jumped off the balcony, opened the door, and sat back down at the dining table.

"Oh, Xiaolu's back! Come quick, come and try Auntie's pork ribs..."

……

When Lu Nan and Dai Miao were about to leave, Mrs. Yotsuya was even more reluctant to part with them than Yotsuya Miko. What a fine young man!

Mrs. Yotsuya didn't look away until she saw Lu Nan and Dai Miao out of the house.

"Mom, is it really necessary to go to such lengths..." Yotsuya Miko muttered softly. There was no need to do so much. Her relationship with her senior was practically a done deal.

This turn of events has made her a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Yotsuya glared at Yotsuya Miko: "Have you forgotten what your mother told you? Love is about fighting and competing. Just go for it without worry. Your mother will always be your strongest support."

Kyosuke Yotsuya also raised his hand: "Support Mom!"

Mamoru Yotsuya quietly leaned closer: "Actually, I have a slightly different idea..."

Yotsuya Miko turned her head away: "I don't want to hear Daddy talk."

Mrs. Yotsuya was taken aback by what she heard, and grabbed Yotsuya Miko with a worried expression: "What are you talking about? What father? Miko, do you have a fever?"

She reached out and touched Yotsuya Miko's forehead to feel her temperature, muttering softly, "She doesn't have a fever. Could it be that she misses her dad?"

Yotsuya Miko took a deep breath, because she had a lot to say next.

……

Mrs. Yotsuya listened silently to what Miko Yotsuya said, then looked in the direction Miko was pointing, and... well, just a wisp of air.

She took out her phone with some concern to send a message to Lu Nan, but seeing that Zi was probably hallucinating due to the pressure of the college entrance exam, she thought, "Maybe I should have Lu Nan take her out for a few days..."

Yotsuya Miko looked helpless: "I'm telling the truth, you guys have to believe me."

Kyosuke Yotsuya raised his hand: "Sis, I actually believe you, but I still have to say, we stopped playing games like 'seeing ghosts' in fifth grade."

Yotsuya Miko was even more speechless; wasn't it obvious that she didn't believe him?

So she turned her gaze to Mamoru Yotsuya, hoping to see if her father could come up with a solution. After thinking for a moment, Mamoru Yotsuya suggested a method.

Yotsuya Miko immediately nodded and said, "Mom, Dad said I can tell you a secret that only the two of you know."

Mrs. Yotsuya became interested. Although she didn't believe in these things, deep down she still held a sliver of hope. What if it was true? What if it really was...?

"Okay, then go ahead and tell me."

Miko Yotsuya seemed to be listening to something, then, suppressing a laugh, she walked over to Mrs. Yotsuya and leaned close to her ear, saying, "Dad said: Touko was still wetting the bed when she was twelve years old."

Mrs. Yotsuya immediately stood up, her face flushed, and loudly retorted, "That's not true! Don't listen to your father's nonsense! He just likes to brag, so don't believe him!"

Miko Yotsuya grinned and put her hands behind her back, saying, "Dad said he can keep talking if you don't believe me."

Mrs. Yotsuya covered her face, sat down, and nodded repeatedly: "I believe you. Tell that deadbeat to stop talking."

Kyosuke Shinomiya looked at his older sister with some suspicion. Was she really that amazing?

Yotsuya Miko looked at her younger brother: "Would you like to give it a try too?"

Kyosuke Yotsuya nodded. He really wanted to give it a try, since he had nothing to hide anyway.

Yotsuya Miko said quietly, "Mom, Kyosuke actually failed five subjects in his midterm exams last year. Dad covered for him and signed off on them."

Yotsuya Kyousuke's body suddenly stiffened.

Chapter 345 I actually think Xiao Lu is wonderful.

Mrs. Yotsuya was feeling awkward and had nowhere to vent her frustration. She smiled at Kyosuke Yotsuya and said, "Kyosuke, tell your mother honestly, is this true?"

Kyosuke Yotsuya grinned obsequiously, "Great Mother, actually my sister was just bragging... Ouch, stop hitting me! It's true! Waaah... Old Deng, you promised you'd never tell, even if you died..."

Yotsuya Mamoru shrugged. He said he would never tell, even if it meant death, but he's already dead, so it doesn't count.

Mrs. Yotsuya suddenly fell silent, tears streaming down her cheeks. She pulled Yotsuya Miko close, looking at her from head to toe, inch by inch.

This is her daughter, one of the only two treasures her husband left her after his death.

Her voice choked with emotion: "Jianzi... how much suffering have you endured all this time?"

She couldn't even imagine how many times she must have lived in fear and anxiety every day, how many days she must have spent on edge, how many nights she must have slept poorly, or eaten poorly...

“I knew it! I was wondering why you’d lost weight… I thought it was just because you were under too much pressure.” Mrs. Yotsuya’s hands trembled as she embraced Miko Yotsuya. “So this is what our precious daughter’s life is like every day? God is so unfair… My Miko, my poor Miko… How much have you suffered…”

"I'm sorry... It's my fault for being useless, it's my fault for not finding out sooner... I'm so sorry..."

Mrs. Yotsuya wept uncontrollably. This was her daughter, her precious child. Why was God treating her like this? If she could, she would rather it be her suffering instead of her daughter…

“Mom…” Yotsuya Miko was a little stunned.

Gradually, Miko Yotsuya's eyes welled up with tears, which slid down her cheeks and landed on Mrs. Yotsuya's shoulder. "Mommy, I'm so scared, Mommy..."
