My father doesn't like smoking or drinking, and people even think he has no desires or ambitions. It is precisely because of this unpredictable attribute that he is almost always successful in his work.
However, only they, as daughters, know that their father sometimes likes to look at the stars on the balcony under a clear sky.
When he looked at the stars, he didn't use a telescope or anything like that, even though it would be easy to get such a thing with the financial resources of the Nakano family.
Only Siye knew that it was just that their father missed their mother.
Dad didn’t know how to coax children. When she and her sisters were young, sometimes they were sad or crying because they missed their mother. Dad would say expressionlessly that your mother just turned into stars in the sky to protect you.
At that time, Siye retorted that this was just something adults used to deceive children. Her father didn't say anything, but just gently stroked her head.
However, compared to fairy tales that even children would not believe, Dad seemed to really believe that Mom really turned into a star in the sky.
Now that she has grown up, Siye has a different interpretation of her father's words.
If Dad doesn't believe that Mom has turned into a star in the sky, then how should he deal with his endless longing?
Siye quietly went into her father's room, took out a coat, walked to the balcony, stood on tiptoe, and put the coat on her father.
Nakano Maruo seemed to be in a trance, but he turned around belatedly and found his daughter standing there. He asked calmly, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Siye said softly, "Dad, you actually held this competition for me."
No one knew that she would go abroad with Fuutarou, except her father.
Yotsuba could more or less guess the reason behind her father's actions which were out of character.
Nakano Maruo's eyes softened as he looked at his daughter, and he stroked her hair gently. "This is the last time you spend with the other sisters. I don't want you to have any regrets. I don't want this period of time to end dully in your future memories. So, sing praises of youth, Yotsuba. Use this competition to create more beautiful moments with the other sisters, and then take these memories with you to start your new life. This is what I expect of you."
Yotsuba's eyes were red, and she gently leaned in her father's arms. Nakano Maruo looked at the stars in the sky and said softly, "Ah, my Yotsuba has grown up."
Chapter 87 In the Name of Friends
Going back in time a little, after witnessing the "family activities" of the Nakano family, when the time was almost up, the three guests, Hachiman, Fuutarou, Chizuru, said goodbye to the host, and Ichika, Nino, and Yotsuba all came out to see them off.
Nino said to Hachiman apologetically, "I'm sorry, uncle, Miku is more stubborn than I thought."
If you say you hate Hachiman, then you hate Hachiman. If you say you will ignore him, then you really will ignore him.
Hachiman didn't seem to care and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's fine like this now."
The fact that he had "tricked" Miku once had the effect of making her hate him to some extent.
I don't know how many times Yukino has complained about this kind of behavior of deliberately being disliked even though you have helped others. Unfortunately, sometimes human nature is not easy to change.
Ichika said from the side, "Mr. Hikigaya, how are you going to get home? Do you want me to have dad's driver take you home?"
After all, Hachiman's eyesight is not very convenient now, so he shook his head and said, "No, I've asked a friend to come and pick me up."
Ichika nodded slightly, then looked at Chizuru and asked, "What about you, Chizuru?"
To be honest, it is indeed dangerous for a girl to go back alone at night, but Chizuru doesn't want to trouble others too much.
Then I heard Hachiman next to me say, "I'll just take Ichinose-san back with me."
Nino was not very clear about the relationship between Hachiman and Chizuru, so she jokingly said, "Uncle, you are not going to take this opportunity to attack Ichinose-san, are you?"
Hachiman was so angry that he knocked his bamboo stick twice and said, "What are you talking about? I am also a teacher's assistant at Shuchiin after all."
Nino laughed twice, but before Chizuru could answer, Ichika rolled her eyes and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Hikigaya."
Chizuru looked at her friend with some annoyance and said, "Your sister doesn't know about the awkwardness between Mr. Hikigaya and me, don't you know either?"
Was it intentional or accidental.
Of course, that was intentional.
Ichika held Nino's hand and said, "Well, Chizuru, remember to promise me safety when you get home."
Fuutarou over there also said goodbye to everyone. He was given a death order by Yotsuba to help her get MISS Shuchiin. Yotsuba was rarely willful, and now it was giving him a headache. After he left alone, Ichi-Sen also returned to the house.
Only Chizuru and Hachiman were left at the door of Nakano's house.
In order to avoid making the atmosphere too awkward, Hachiman took the initiative to talk, but if Chizuru didn't respond, the atmosphere might become even more awkward.
"You and Ichika have become really close. I was the one who introduced you two to each other."
"Well, after all, we are from the same company, and Ichika has a very good personality. It's not surprising that girls with similar personalities will become better friends after spending some time together."
But what surprised Hachiman was that the girl who also took the initiative to stay away from him was Chizuru's attitude towards him was much more natural compared to Miku's "stubbornness".
Perhaps she understood what Hachiman meant from his expression, the smart girl said generously: "Let's just be friends. Mr. Hikigaya, do you think I'm cold to my friends?"
Chizuru also thought it through. After all, Hachiman was her nominal boss, and it was impossible to avoid him completely. Trying to hide the truth would make her seem guilty. It would be better to just let things take their course and just draw a clear line in her heart.
"Then, Ms. Chizuru, who is not cold to her friends, would you like me to take you home? It is my duty to ensure the safety of my friends." Hachiman extended his hand and invited. He was not unaware of Ichika's little move just now.
However, Chizuru smiled and said, "Because we are friends, I will accept your sending me home and then to my doorstep. Because we are friends, it is natural for me to invite you to my home for a cup of tea. If unfortunately it rains, since we are friends, I will have to let you stay overnight, Mr. Hikigaya. If it is even more unfortunate that there is a thunder and power outage, since we are friends, I cannot watch you, Mr. Hikigaya, sleeping on the floor and catching a cold. So I can only sleep in the same bed with you overnight, because, we are all friends, right."
Hachiman was a little surprised, but said, "Am I so untrustworthy? I'm so sad."
But Chizuru shook her head and said, "It's not that I can't trust Mr. Hikigaya, but I can't trust myself."
If I can't help but ask him to send me home, I can't help but invite him upstairs for tea, and then step by step, in the name of friends, I continue to do intimate things, and then I fall again.
What Qianzuru can't trust is not the other person, but herself.
Therefore, stopping at the first step is the best option for both parties.
"When I hear you say this, should I be happy or unhappy?" Hachiman showed a distressed expression.
Qianhe smiled lightly and shook her head, saying: "It's okay, I can just take a taxi back."
"But this place is far from the apartment you rented, right?" Hachiman asked.
"I now live in an apartment provided by the company." Chizuru said.
"The distance is not that close. Wouldn't it cost you half a month's salary?" asked Hachiman.
Qianzuru shook her head gently and said lightly: "It's okay."
Hachiman couldn't help but let out a bitter smile. He was indeed convinced. He could come up with many reasonable and beneficial reasons to get close to her. This was his best method and he was almost always successful. But it was useless in front of a real strong wall.
Hachiman affirmed Chizuru's will and even admired it a little.
Slowly, a bright yellow BMW drove over, and Chizuru said to Hachiman, "Your friend is here, Mr. Hikigaya, you go first, please don't mind me."
A yellow BMW stopped in front of the two men, and the window rolled down, revealing a head of shiny black hair.
Miss Kasumi Shiko handed over an ice cream and said, "Here you go, do you want some?"
Hachiman took it naturally and said, "Where's the ice cream?"
Miss Kasumi Shiko licked an ice cream herself and said, "I just went to the BMW store to get my car serviced. They were giving away ice creams, but they only gave them to foreigners. I was so angry that I scolded them, and then the manager gave me some."
Hachiman smiled and said, "That's because you have a BMW worth 40 million yen under your butt."
The little rich woman licked a mouthful of ice cream and said, "I don't know, whatever, get in the car, I still need to put on a facial mask when I get back."
Hachiman turned to Chizuru and said, "Ms. Chizuru, I don't want you to take a taxi. Besides the price is very expensive, it is not safe for a girl to take a taxi at night. Even if we are not friends, I would feel sorry if I heard such news, so..."
Hachiman let go of the car door handle and said to Shiha, "You should send this Ichinose-san home. She is also a student of Shuchiin. Do your duty as a teacher well."
Before Chizuru could stop her, Kasumigaoka Utaha asked, "What about you?"
Hachiman slowly left here: "I will walk back slowly. I can't expect human traffickers to covet an old man like me."
After saying this, he gradually walked closer into the night.
Qianzuru looked at his back and her heart seemed to be tightened.
It was as if she heard the man say in her ear: "See, this will allow you to return home safely without putting you in any difficult situations."
Chapter 88: Laughing at the foolishness of Sanjiu and the wisdom of the village woman of Shigong
The bright yellow BMW was speeding on the night road. The dim lights on the roadside kept moving away from Chizuru's eyes. The atmosphere in the car was a little quiet, with only the sound of soothing jazz playing from the expensive audio system.
Qianhe couldn't help but look at the young woman next to her who loved to wear black stockings. Even in the dark, even when sitting in the driver's seat, it was still difficult to hide her proud figure. Even Qianhe, who was also a woman, was a little envious.
She was wearing a white chiffon shirt, which looked quite loose, but her breasts seemed to be about to burst out at any time, with an indomitable spirit and wild vitality. Looking from the side, her figure was graceful, and her buttocks sitting on the sofa were round and full, tightly wrapped in a black hip skirt like a peach. The black stockings extended down her thighs, and under the dim light, they showed a hint of tightness.
The woman in front of me has a beauty that would astonish any other woman.
When it comes to the vitality of young girls, Chizuru believes that she is not inferior to anyone. It's just that girls like Kasumigaoka Utaha, who have both the noble temperament of a lady and the sweet charm of a mature woman, make Chizuru feel inferior. In comparison, she is just an immature little girl.
Perhaps even Kasumigaoka Utaha herself did not realize that her fame or popularity was higher than she imagined. Chizuru had a few good friends in the class, and they often gossiped with her. The young male teachers in the school were now attracted to the new teacher Kasumigaoka, and she had many suitors.
Chizuru's friend told her somewhat sourly that these male teachers were obviously attracted by Kasumigaoka teacher's identity, saying that this young female teacher was the daughter of Kanto Kasumigaoka family, and that marrying her would not only allow them to get a bright and beautiful woman for free, but would also save them three generations of hard work.
In addition to these external conditions, what impressed Chizuru more was the confident charm that Kasumigaoka-sensei exuded at all times.
Perhaps no matter who it is, if they can drive a luxury car worth 40 million yen as a daily vehicle, they will have some confidence.
Qianzuru didn't know if she could earn this amount in ten years. But even if she did, it might just be pocket money for Kasumigaoka-sensei.
Thinking of this, Chizuru couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. What on earth was she frustrated about? Although it was very obscure, Chizuru knew that because she saw Kasumigaoka teacher walking with Hikigaya Hachiman, she couldn't help but compare her with herself, and then came to the conclusion that she was completely defeated.
"Am I that pretty?" Suddenly, the voice of Kasumigaoka Utaha was heard.
If it wasn't someone she was familiar with, whether because of her status or her beauty, Shiyu would seem unapproachable, and would be more appropriately described as aloof or aloof.
Of course, this is based on unfamiliar situations, like a woman unfortunately has a mouth.
So at this moment, Chizuru's attitude was a little restrained, worried that she might have offended the other party.
"Sorry, I was a little distracted." Chizuru apologized softly.
As a result, Teacher Kasumigaoka said in a brisk tone: "It's nothing. Putting aside the stinky men, I still welcome the admiring gazes of girls. Most of the time, when they see me, they will feel annoyed in their hearts, wondering why the difference between women is bigger than that between humans and dogs. Don't you think it's quite pleasant to think like this?"
Correction: this Kasumigaoka teacher is unexpectedly sharp-tongued and narcissistic.
So Chizuru couldn't understand why Kasumigaoka-sensei, who was not short of beauty or wealth and who should have waited in line for men to offer their loyalty, would get involved with Hikigaya-sensei. Was she deceived by Hikigaya-sensei?
"Why do you always look like you want to say something but stop? Generally speaking, I have a pretty good attitude towards female students. Forget about male students. Although Hikigaya's mouth is often out of tune, there is one thing he said that I like. The imagination of high school boys about female teachers is dirtier than a public toilet in the wild. You can't even shake hands with them. God knows what they are doing before shaking hands with you."
The relaxed and teasing tone made Chizuru think of a man.
Chizuru pursed her lips gently.
"Well, I want to know what your relationship is with Mr. Hikigaya, Kasumigaoka-sensei. Why did you drive to pick him up so late? Are you dating?"
She wasn't concerned (jealous) about anything. She just wanted to remind Kasumigaoka-sensei of certain facts.
"Hey, I didn't expect you to be more nosy than you look."
After all, Chizuru looks quite serious and doesn't look like a gossip girl.
Hearing what Shiyu said, Chizuru couldn't help but blush.
However, Shiyu was just teasing, and then said leisurely: "I'm not dating that guy, how can he be worthy? Now he and I are in the relationship of master and servant. If I ask him to cook, he has to cook, and if I ask him to clean, he has to clean. He dare not disobey me!"
Who told this guy to fool her so badly before, and now he is still pretending to be blind? I really want to blind him and let him pretend to fool the little girl.
Qianhe couldn't help but have some bad imaginations in her mind, such as the sadistic queen and her exclusive male slave, whips, leather clothes, and bondage rings flashed through her mind.
But he quickly came to his senses and whispered, "So, are you living together?"
Shiyu glanced at the girl with some surprise. She was actually quite smart.
"Oh, that's right. I'm not tired of that guy yet. I'll just use him for now. When I find him boring, I'll kick him out." Shiyu said happily.
This was also a defensive measure. After all, the girl seemed to be interested in that guy. And with Hachiman's protection just now, Shiyu felt that no one would object to her assertion of sovereignty in Shuchiin.
As for the foolish boy Miku and the unintelligent village woman Shinomiya, they were not taken seriously in the eyes of Kasumigaoka Utaha.
Qianzuru saw Shiyu's smug expression, and thought, well, it seems that her previous judgment was wrong. Although she looked like a noble lady from a distance, if you get to know her a little better, you will find that she is both sharp-tongued and narcissistic, and she is always arrogant when she speaks. It is really quite a contrast.
You obviously like the other person, but you have to act like you don't care.
Chizuru pursed her lips and said, "Teacher Kasumigaoka, do you know that Mr. Hikigaya is actually married and even has a child."
She just wanted to remind Kasumigaoka-sensei about this.
Although he didn't think that Mr. Hikigaya would lie, it would be too pitiful if Mr. Kasumigaoka didn't know the fact and fell deeply into it, just like himself.
However, what Shiyu said next almost shattered Qianhe's three views.
"I thought you were going to say something. I know. His wife is my cousin, the mother of his child, and my best friend."
Chapter 89: The dog man comes to lick my feet
"I thought you were going to say something. I know. His wife is my cousin, the mother of his child, and my best friend."
