In the anime, cultivating a girlfriend starts from childhood

He supported himself on the table with both hands and was about to stand up to refute.

What shortcomings could Sister Jing have?

Isn't it just smoking, drinking, racing, beating people, and occasionally acting like a hot-blooded comic book idiot...

Ryosuke suddenly stopped what he was doing and sat back down.

Even so, my sister is still a good girl.

Ryosuke really felt sorry for Shizuka Hiratsuka's behavior.

So he patted Hiratsuka Shizuka's back gently.

She slowly raised her head and looked at Ryosuke with pitiful eyes.

Hiratsuka Ryosuke said gently: "It's okay, my promise to you will always be valid, sister."

Hearing this, Hiratsuka Shizuka could no longer hold back and rushed over to hug Ryosuke, "Wow, Ryosuke, the old man is going too far!"

After a while, Hiratsuka Shizuka finally calmed down.

Hiratsuka Gen coughed lightly, and his expression became serious again, "Ryosuke, do you know why I asked you to go home this time?"

Ryosuke shook his head.

"I have never forced you to do anything since you were little. I didn't say anything when Xiaojing took you to Tokyo. For a family like ours, I have been lenient enough with you two siblings."

Hiratsuka Gen said calmly, and then he changed the subject, "There is more than one county councilor in Chiba Prefecture, and I am not afraid of the Yukinoshita family."

Finally, Hiratsuka Gen looked at Ryosuke and said slowly, "But there are no men in this generation of the Yukinoshita family. If possible... Ryosuke, I hope you can spend more time with them."

Chapter 77 Sunset and Rising Sun

After hearing her father's words, Hiratsuka Shizuka immediately regained her spirits.

Boom!

She slammed her hands on the table.

He looked directly at Hiratsuka Gen with a look that showed no weakness, and said in a slightly hostile tone, "Old man, didn't you promise me that you wouldn't force Ryosuke to do something he doesn't like?"

Hiratsuka Gen shook his head and whispered, "Xiao Jing, you should change your impatient temper. From childhood to adulthood, when you encounter something related to Ryosuke, have you lost even the most basic ability to think?"

Then he turned his head and continued to look at the other child, "Ryosuke, what do you mean?"

His father had greater ambitions in his heart, and Hiratsuka Ryosuke understood the implicit meaning.

This man did not treat his son as a tradable commodity and gave him to the Yukinoshita family through a simple marriage contract.

What he wanted was to play the emotional card and make the daughter of the Yukinoshita family come to him on her own, which was a bit like a fantasy.

But does he trust his son so much?

"I will not forget my responsibilities, but is this really the only way?" Ryosuke Hiratsuka asked back.

Seeing that Ryosuke understood his hidden meaning, Hiratsuka Gen pulled a barely perceptible arc at the corner of his mouth and said calmly: "You can find other ways to achieve your goal, but you must not forget your last name."

Even Shizuka Hiratsuka reacted to the conversation between the father and son.

She sat back down and looked at Ryosuke with a worried look on her face.

Ryosuke noticed his sister's gaze and turned to her with a smile, "Sister, I'm grown up now."

"Well, this matter cannot be completed in a day or two, so there is no rush for now." Hiratsuka Gen clapped his hands and began to change the subject, "Ryosuke, I have read your book and I like it very much."

The first half of the sentence was fine, but the second half made both the siblings look surprised.

How could a serious and old-fashioned man like my father actually read light novels?

Hiratsuka Gen didn't pay attention to the looks from the siblings at the moment, and then he shouted, "Nitta!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the reception room was opened again.

The person who came in was a young man with blond slicked back hair, wearing a gold necklace and a black suit.

Ryosuke Hiratsuka knew this young man named Yoshifumi Nitta.

When Ryosuke was a child, Nitta, who was still a high school student, took Ryosuke to fish for lobsters, catch loaches, and poke beehives.

He was like an older brother in his childhood.

Nitta's father was a cadre of the Hiratsuka Group, and his father died unexpectedly of illness.

Hiratsuka Gen has been supporting him in his schooling and daily life.

Nitta also worked very hard and was later admitted to Keio University, which is known as the best private university in Asia.

After graduating from university, he chose to return to the Hiratsuka Group.

"Brother Nitta, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Master."

The word "Young Master" made Hiratsuka Ryosuke's heart tremble and his eyes became dim.

In Japan's strictly hierarchical society, even if they were close playmates when they were children.

There was now a tragically thick barrier between them.

"Hello, long time no see, Nitta." Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled carelessly and greeted the other party.

When Nitta heard this, it was as if he heard the whisper of a devil.

He took a step back and his expression suddenly turned ugly.

For a moment, I was in a dilemma.

"Xiao Jing! I told you to be more restrained. How many of these people in the group who are your age have not been beaten by you? You don't behave like a girl at all!"

When Hiratsuka Gen saw that Nitta looked embarrassed, he thought of his violent daughter who had brought him shame in the Kansai region.

Ryosuke also knew why Nitta looked unhappy.

When he was a child, his father took his sister to Kyoto, leaving the young Ryosuke alone at home.

Later, Nitta took him to a hot spring, but they accidentally took the wrong path and ended up in the women's bath.

After Shizuka Hiratsuka returned from Kyoto, she instantly lost her mind.

I think it was Nitta who took his brother to the women's bath to peep and led his brother astray.

As a result, Nitta was punched by Shizuka Hiratsuka and sent to the hospital.

"Nitta, come and sit next to me." Hiratsuka Gen waved to Nitta, giving Nitta the courage to move forward again.

After Nitta sat down, Hiratsuka Gen continued, "Ryosuke, you are still young, and it is inconvenient for you to handle many things. It is easy to suffer when communicating with some people in society. Nitta studied law, and you can let Nitta help you with the connection work with the publishing house in the future."

"Father……"

The sudden concern made Ryosuke feel a little nervous.

A father's love for his children is always silent.

No words, only actions.

Hiratsuka Ryosuke thought back to the old man in front of him.

On the surface, she always appears to be indifferent and dislike him.

But no matter in terms of finances or education, he never treated his children unfairly.

When Sister Jing ran away from home, although he was very angry, he did not forcefully take the siblings back home.

I just quietly watched the two children's daily life in Tokyo.

This man, who appears serious and indifferent like a lion, deeply loves his children in his heart, but he is just not good at expressing it.

The setting sun shines into the reception room, painting the space with a warm and tranquil tone.

"Ryosuke, I will take you to Yukinoshita's house tonight." Hiratsuka Gen picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying calmly.

Just as Shizuka Hiratsuka was about to speak, she was interrupted by her father.

The old man glanced at his disappointing daughter and said angrily, "You are so anxious again. I am only bringing Ryosuke to show his face. I won't let him get involved in anything so soon. The Hiratsuka family is not the Yukinoshita family. As long as I am alive, I can protect you from the storm outside for a while longer."

"Okay, Xiaojing, go change your clothes first, and we'll set off soon. Xintian, you go get ready too."

After hearing the patriarch's unquestionable words, Shizuka Hiratsuka and Yoshifumi Nitta stood up and left the reception room.

The Hiratsuka father and son were the only ones left in the empty reception room.

Hiratsuka Gen stood up and walked to the corridor outside the door.

He looked at the setting sun in the distant sky and said softly, "Ryosuke, have you ever blamed me over the years?"

Hiratsuka Ryosuke followed his father, looked towards the sunset, and shook his head.

"Everyone has his own responsibilities. The Hiratsuka Group was in turmoil before, surrounded by foreign enemies. I sent you and your brother to Tokyo at that time because I was guiding you on purpose."

Hiratsuka Ryosuke took one look at this resolute man with some white hair on his temples, and was stunned.

He never thought that there was another reason why his sister ran away from home.

Hiratsuka Gen pointed to the setting sun, and the golden lion ring on his left ring finger shone brightly in the sunset. He said to the people around him earnestly: "Look, Ryosuke, this setting sun symbolizes me, and you are the rising sun tomorrow morning."

“We should strive to live out our short lives and leave our achievements to our descendants. This is how humans repeat and grow slowly.”

Hiratsuka Ryosuke had never heard this man say such words.

The father in my memory was so serious and old-fashioned towards his children.

Once a mistake is made, it will be criticized mercilessly even in public.

Ryosuke vowed, "I will not shirk my responsibilities, father."

Hearing this, Hiratsuka Gen smiled knowingly.

He was always serious, but now he was in the mood to joke, "Ryosuke, I've seen those two girls under Yukinoshita, they're both pretty, why don't you bring them back together?"

Hiratsuka Ryosuke was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that this old-fashioned man would have such an idea.

Even if it's just a joke, it's a bit scary.

Before he could reply, a shout was heard from afar.

"Cold sauce~"

In the distance, Shizuka Hiratsuka changed into a light purple yukata and waved.

At this moment, she has her long hair tied up, with a smile in the corner of her eyes, she is as quiet as a virgin, gorgeous and dignified.

"Let's go, Ryosuke, we're going to Yukinoshita's house." Hiratsuka Gen said and walked ahead.

Ryosuke recalled his father's meaningful words and made a secret decision.

I will definitely protect this home and...my sister's gentle smile.

Chapter 78: The Growth History of the Fake Smiling Devil (Part 1)

It was getting dark and the sun was setting below the horizon.

The bright moonlight like flowing water poured into the front yard of Yukinoshita's house.

The Yukinoshita family is hosting an open-air dinner party.

Although it is nominally Miss Yukinoshita's birthday party, everyone knows who the real protagonist is.

Neon's capitals, prefectures, counties and cities are all first-level administrative regions.

The Yukinoshita family, a giant in the construction industry in Chiba Prefecture, was originally active in the business world and has now entered politics.

The guests who came to visit were mostly to congratulate the head of the Yukinoshita family and to make themselves known to him.

Some people shine even in the dark.

Yukinoshita Haruno followed behind Mrs. Yukinoshita.

She was wearing a navy blue yukata with a lily pattern around her waist.

At this moment, Yono was not as lively as usual, and her words and actions were completely consistent with the identity of Miss Yukinoshita.

She was as quiet as a virgin, stood like a peony, sat like a peony, and walked like a lily. She was talking to some ladies and celebrities from the upper class.

"Ah, isn't this Yang No? You've become more and more beautiful after not seeing you for a long time."
