Create MYGO second creation, but make them cry

The man gently stroked his daughter's head, his eyes tender, then nodded his thanks to the staff around him, a polite smile playing on his lips. Su Shi's gaze was fixed intently on the man—

Banami naturally understood what that look meant. No matter how few times they met, Su Shi could never forget what her father looked like.

His movements as he held Zhi Shi were practiced and affectionate, and the smile on his face was a tenderness that Su Shi had never seen before.

The family of three left chatting and laughing, with the man occasionally bending down to answer his daughter's questions.

Su Shi watched their retreating figures silently, without saying a word, her fingers clenched tightly until her knuckles turned white.

Suddenly, a drop of cool rain fell on Su Shi's cheek. Then, the rain grew denser, falling softly and pattering on the hydrangeas beside her, causing the petals to tremble slightly.

Banami silently stepped forward, took off her coat, draped it over Suze's shoulders, and then gently hugged her from behind, her movements tender and careful.

"Cry it out, it'll make you feel better." His voice was close to Su Shi's ear.

Su Shi's body trembled violently, and her pent-up emotions finally broke free.

She didn't turn around, but buried her face in Hanami's arms, her shoulders trembling slightly. Her suppressed sobs mingled with the sound of rain, as light as a feather, yet they struck Hanami's heart heavily.

He suddenly realized that Su Shi's sadness was never because her father didn't love his child. She thought she had gotten used to it, but only today did she realize that the father did not not love his daughter, but rather that the one he didn't love was her—the daughter he had with the woman he didn't love.

The rain grew heavier, and the hydrangeas, soaked by the rain, became even more vibrant, yet also appeared somewhat fragile. Banami held the girl tightly in her arms, as if she were handling delicate, fragile glass.

Chapter Twenty-Two: Forget Everything +1

As I turned around under the camphor tree, the cloudy sky finally gave way, and large raindrops pelted down, instantly splashing up fine water droplets on the ground.

Banami quickly took off her coat and wrapped it tightly around Suze—the coat was a bit too big for her, the hem reaching her knees like a small cape. He pulled her down the mountain, rain wetting his hair and sliding down his cheeks, blurring his vision.

Fortunately, there was a small business hotel near Mingyue Temple. When the two of them rushed in through the puddles, they were already half-soaked. Su Shi's hair was stuck to her cheeks and tiny water droplets were hanging on her eyelashes.

The room wasn't large, but it was exceptionally tidy. The warm yellow wall lamps dispelled the chill of the rain, and the sheets were folded neatly and carried a faint scent of lavender.

Banami handed the dry towel given to her by the receptionist to Suze, and pointed to the bathroom with the frosted glass door: "Go take a shower first. If there's a bathtub, fill it with water and soak for a while. Don't catch a cold."

Su Shi nodded obediently, took the towel and went into the bathroom. The moment she closed the door, Banai breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall to calm down. Too much had happened today, and Su Shi's emotions were like a taut string. Let her calm down on her own for a while.

Then, Banami took out her phone and dialed Aine's number.

"Hello? Xi-kun? Where are you guys?" As soon as the call connected, Ai-yin's languid voice, still sounding like she had just woken up, came through, but she seemed much more energetic.

"I'm sorry, Aine, we're stuck outside." Banami walked to the window, wiped the condensation off the glass with her fingertips, and looked at the hydrangea bushes that were blurred by the rain.

After inquiring about Aine's health and learning that she was now out of danger, Banami began to recount what had happened to her and Suze that day.

"Today we met a lost little girl at Meigetsuin Temple..."

"I see..." Ai-yin's voice instantly turned somber. Just by putting herself in Su-se's shoes, the girl already felt incredibly uncomfortable. She really couldn't imagine what that girl was feeling right now.

"Nahish-kun, you must comfort her. Su Shi trusts you the most right now. I know Soyorin's personality best; the sadder she is, the more she will keep it to herself and not tell anyone..."

Listening to Aine's instructions, Banami looked up towards the bathroom. The frosted glass reflected the girl's slender silhouette, and in the misty steam, her youthful curves were faintly visible. It was the graceful beauty of a young girl that made him subconsciously look away.

"I know, I'm sorry to have made you feel bad. We were supposed to travel together, but I left you alone in the hotel."

Aine couldn't help but giggle, and said in a light voice, "It's good that you know. You have to make it up to me when you come back tomorrow. But you have to bring back a happy Su Shi, or I'll really be angry."

The girl's voice was full of coquettish charm: "And tonight I can have all the kaiseki cuisine made by the landlady all to myself. I'll take a picture and show it to you later, it'll make you two so jealous."

Banai couldn't help but laugh out loud at her joke, and most of the pent-up frustration in his heart instantly dissipated. He thought to himself that his girlfriend was truly a virtuous and wonderful woman.

"I understand. You should get some rest too, don't wait up for us." After chatting for a while longer, Banai hung up the phone, the screen went dark, revealing his slightly guilty face.

Just then, with a "click," the bathroom door was gently pulled open.

Su Shi walked out wearing the hotel's white yukata. The collar of the yukata was a little loose, revealing her delicate neck and collarbone. Her hair was still dripping with water, and water droplets slid down her neck and into the collar, spreading out small water stains on the yukata.

Her steps were light, like a kitten's. When she reached the center of the living room, she looked up at Banami, her eyes red, as if she had been crying inside.

Banami's gaze suddenly darted around, and she draped her wet coat over the hanger, deliberately avoiding looking at the girl. "Um... I'll go downstairs and buy you something hot. I just saw there's a cafeteria at the hotel. Anyway, have something to eat..."

He had just turned to leave when his wrist was suddenly grabbed by a slightly cool hand.

Su Shi quickly caught up from behind, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist. Her cheek pressed against his back, which was still cool from the rain. The fragrance of her fresh bath mixed with the faint scent of shower gel and the warmth of the girl's body enveloped Banami.

Her voice came through muffled, clearly choked with sobs, her breath trembling: "Don't...don't leave me, okay?"

He could clearly feel the trembling of the person in his arms, and her hand clutching the hem of his clothes, as if she had grasped the last straw.

"I'm just going to buy some food, I'll be back soon, in ten minutes at most." He tried to explain, but when he felt the strength of the girl's wrist behind him, he couldn't continue.

Su Shi wrapped her arms around him tightly like vines, her sobs growing louder, filled with a long-suppressed breakdown. "Don't... leave me, okay? Not even for a second, not even for a moment. I'm afraid... I'm afraid that if I turn around, it will be like Dad... never coming back."

Her voice was hoarse with a sob, and every word struck Banami's heart heavily.

Banami turned around and couldn't help but put her arms around him, saying in a calm tone, "No, I will... stay with you forever."

Upon suddenly learning that she had a half-sister and that she was not the "fruit of her parents' love," to be honest, Su Shi's ability to hold on until now before her emotions collapsed is, in a sense, quite remarkable.

Or rather, in a single-parent family, the girl in front of me has become accustomed to suppressing herself.

"It's so cold... Onii-chan, I'm so cold."

Su Shi leaned forward, almost throwing herself into his arms, her hands gripping his shirt tightly, her body still trembling. Even though her skin was warmer than his, she was shaking violently, her teeth chattering slightly. "Even after taking a hot shower, I'm still so cold. No matter how much I try to warm myself up, I can't get warm."

Unable to hold back any longer, Banami hugged her tightly, gently patting her back with her palms, one pat at a time, like soothing a frightened kitten.

He lowered his head and gently placed a kiss on her smooth forehead, his warm lips touching her skin, his voice so gentle it was reassuring: "Is it warmer now?"

Su Shi looked up blankly at the boy's angular face, a hint of dazedness in her eyes. She murmured listlessly, "Onii-chan's lips are warm, but...it's not enough..."

Before Banai could react, Suze tiptoed and gently pressed her soft lips against his. Her kiss was light, carrying the salty taste of tears and the sweet scent of freshly applied strawberry toothpaste; it was cautious, yet also burning with a desperate intensity.

Banami's eyes widened suddenly, and his body stiffened instantly—this was an intimacy that could not be explained by the previous good morning or good night kisses. He subconsciously wanted to push her away, but when his gaze fell on the fleeting pain and sadness in Suze's eyes, all his movements stopped.

It was the look in their eyes, as if they were being abandoned by the whole world and grasping at the last straw, as if to say: Are you going to abandon me too?

"Please..." Su Shi's lips pressed against his, her voice choked and burning, pleading with a sob in her voice, "Let me forget everything."

Whether it's her father, her half-sister, or the happy "Ichinose family."

The rain outside the window grew heavier and heavier, turning from a drizzle into a downpour, pounding heavily on the hotel windows and also on the hydrangeas in the distant Mingyue Temple, giving the swaying petals a more desolate beauty.

Under the eaves, raindrops pattered on the spiderwebs and onto the fluttering moths, while the black spider slowly moved forward and bit its prey.

Chapter Twenty-Three: Don't Make Little Su Smile Laugh

The following morning, after the rain, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the hotel curtains, casting dappled patterns of light on the floor.

As Banami slowly opened his eyes, he was bathed in the bright sunlight. However, his heart felt as if it were tightly covered by dark clouds, heavy and suffocating.

A warm arm gently encircled his arm, and the young girl leaned against him, revealing her delicate and beautiful collarbone, her skin glowing with a smooth luster in the morning light.

Su Shi's eyes were brighter than the sunlight outside the window, gazing at him with deep affection. Seeing that he was awake, she leaned forward slightly and lightly pecked his lips with her soft lips: "Good morning, Xi-jun~"

The change in address, "Yu-kun," jolted Yanami back to her senses.

Realizing that the uncontrolled kisses and hugs last night had completely changed the nature of their relationship, he opened his mouth, his mind in turmoil, and blurted out a nonsensical question: "Uh, does it hurt?"

Su Shi immediately pouted, her cheeks puffed out slightly, almost big enough to hang a soy sauce bottle on. But her cute expression at this moment seemed to carry a hint of youthful charm.

"It hurts so much, my back is aching terribly, and it's all Xi-jun's fault..."

Halfway through her sentence, her pretty face flushed bright red, but her watery eyes looked at the boy, everything was understood without words.

Banami's face also flushed. She dared not look at the girl on the bed with her delicate and shy appearance any longer, and hurriedly got up to pick up the clothes scattered under the bed.

His shirt, which had been soaked by the rain last night and was now half-dry, still had a faint dampness, but he didn't care about that now. He hurriedly put it on, his voice as panicked as a deserter returning from England: "I'll go buy you breakfast and anti-inflammatory medicine. You rest in bed and don't move around."

Before he could finish speaking, he practically fled the room. Watching his disheveled figure, Su Shi couldn't help but giggle, clutching her pillow like a triumphant little bird. But her laughter was short-lived; a sharp pain in her waist made her gasp, and a bead of cold sweat instantly appeared on her forehead.

She raised her hand to rub her lower back, her brows furrowed, but there was no regret on her face. Instead, her face radiated happiness and peace of mind.

Lu Bu riding a dog is fine, so what? Humph, is that not allowed?

She bit her lower lip and smiled, then lay back down in the soft blankets, her fingertips gently touching her lips as if his warmth still lingered.

***

On the other side, Banami slumped on a bench outside the business hotel, his head buried in his hands, looking like an ostrich burying its head in the sand. "Why the hell couldn't I push her away?" he growled in frustration, his voice muffled in his palms. "What am I going to do now? If Aine finds out, she'll definitely explode! Ugh, I'm such an idiot!"

Because he's not a pretty girl, he doesn't look cute at all; instead, he looks a bit silly.

He pounded his head with his fist, but reason told him that he couldn't possibly push the girl away last night; doing so would only hurt her more.

However, upon closer reflection, Banami still felt somewhat awkward. If it were the original Su Shi, he would have been in love with her without any problems. But with the current Su Shi, he felt a pang of sorrow.

Goo me, Anon-chan.

Fortunately, he took precautions last night. Of course, he didn't get them from Toyokawa's house; he would rather buy them from 711-Eleven. He even suspected that Old Deng had already turned him into a breeding pig.

"At least Su Shi is in a good mood right now..." He comforted himself with a weary expression, his fingertips unconsciously tracing the wood grain of the bench, his mind filled with images of Aine possibly going berserk after learning the truth.

Just then, a clear "Big brother" rang out. Banami looked up sharply and saw a little girl in a pale yellow dress waving her little hand and running excitedly toward him, her twin ponytails bouncing – it was Tomoyo, whom he had met at Meigetsuin yesterday.

He subconsciously smiled, and was about to speak when his gaze fell on a couple not far away. The man was wearing a sharp dark gray suit, and his hair was neatly combed; he was the "father" that Su Shi had seen from afar yesterday.

Banami's smile vanished instantly. Suppressing the anger surging within her, she reached out and patted Tomoyo's head as she ran over: "Tomoyo, what are you doing here?"

"It rained so hard yesterday, and my parents took me to stay at this hotel for one night!" Tomoyo looked up, her eyes crinkling into slits with laughter. "Big brother, are you staying here too?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the couple approached. Banami stood up, his expression slightly cold, and was about to speak when Tomoyo tugged at his sleeve and called out to her parents, "Mom and Dad, this is the older brother who played with me yesterday!"

The couple's attitude immediately warmed up. The woman smiled and nodded, "Thank you so much, young man. We were almost frantic yesterday." The man also extended his hand, his tone sincere, "Thanks to you and that young lady, otherwise we really don't know how long we would have searched."

As Banami grasped the man's hand, about to ask the question she had held back all night, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her: "Hey, Mr. Kimura, what a coincidence, what are you doing here?"

"Mr. Kimura?" Hanami was stunned. Hearing the call, the man quickly let go of her hand and turned to respond, not forgetting to smile apologetically at Hanami: "Excuse me, I'll be right back for a moment."

Hanami's mind was buzzing, and she subconsciously asked Tomoyo's mother beside her, "Is your husband... surnamed Kimura?"

The woman was somewhat surprised, but still answered gently, "Yes, my husband's surname is Kimura, and this child's name is Kimura Tomoyo. I was in such a rush yesterday that I didn't have a chance to thank you properly, I'm so sorry." She paused, looking at Hanami's astonished expression, and tilted her head in confusion.

But soon, she seemed to realize something, and just as she was about to speak, she heard a familiar girl's voice behind her.

"Good morning, Tomoyo."

"Ah, it's Su Shi!" Zhi Shi exclaimed excitedly, tugging at Su Shi's skirt. "Mommy, she's the older sister who taught Zhi Shi how to play cat's cradle yesterday!"

At this moment, Mr. Kimura returned after finishing his business. When he saw Su Shi, his face showed obvious surprise, but then he smiled gently: "You must be the older sister my daughter mentioned? Thank you so much for taking care of Tomoyo for so long yesterday." He looked Su Shi up and down a few times and said with some surprise: "Although it is a bit presumptuous of me, looking at you is like seeing what Tomoyo will look like when she grows up."

Mrs. Kimura also took a closer look, and nodded as if she had just realized, "Yes! I thought it looked familiar, it's amazing."

The couple chatted and laughed with Su Shi for a while, their tone natural, without any stiffness or concealment. Mr. Kimura took out a business card from his briefcase and handed it to Su Shi and Banami: "This is my contact information. If you ever come to Tokyo, be sure to contact me. I'll treat you to a meal."

Before leaving, Tomoyo took Sosei's hand, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in her ear as if sharing a secret, "Big sister, I haven't told anyone about our secret."

Su Shi smiled and patted her head without saying a word.

Only after the family of three disappeared at the end of the street did Banami turn around and speak in a slightly cold tone: "The secret Tomoyo mentioned, is it that you taught her to call herself Ichinose?"

Su Shi didn't hide anything and nodded gently. Sunlight fell on the tips of her hair, giving it a faint golden glow.

Banami instantly understood everything—this was all an act by Su Shi to gain his pity! If he hadn't softened after learning the "truth" last night, he would never have gone that far with Su Shi.

Banai laughed at the girl's antics: "You... little liar!"

But Su Shi didn't refute, she just lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes casting a light shadow under her eyes: "What did I lie to Xi Jun about?"

“Of course…” Banami’s words caught in her throat.

"Who said I don't have a half-sister?" Su Shi raised her head and tore open her bloody wound again.

"Who said my father didn't rebuild a happy family?" Her voice trembled, not from physical pain.

The anger that had just risen in Banami's heart vanished instantly when he saw her reddened eyes.

Su Shi didn't lie; she just didn't tell the whole truth.

Her mother didn't tell her about this; she...discovered it secretly.

He stepped forward, pulled the girl into a tight embrace, and muttered under his breath, "Idiot!"

Su Shi was held tightly in a hug, her face beaming with tears of joy.

After the rain, the hydrangeas, with clusters of water droplets on their purple petals, appear even more radiant and beautiful under the sunlight.

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Incompetent Girlfriend Section

The walk from the business hotel back to the hot spring inn wasn't far, but Banami walked with an unusually heavy heart, his brow furrowed the entire time. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on his face, but it couldn't dispel the gloom in his heart—how should he explain what happened last night to Aine?

Did he end up in bed with Su Shi while comforting Ai Yin?

Tsk tsk, thinking about it carefully, he really is a beast... No, he was tricked!

Thinking of this, Banami's expression became even more numb.

"Xi-jun, don't frown." Su-shi gently tugged at his clothes, then stood on tiptoe and gently kissed his cheek, deliberately comforting him, "Don't worry, neither of us will tell Ai-yin about what happened last night."
