I have a lot of green plums

Despite the long distance between them, Si Yue Yuzhi could already imagine his boss's frustrated look, which made the corners of his mouth curl up slightly.

"I hope I didn't disturb Aunt Sanae so late."

"Really? What do you mean by disturbing us? If it would disturb us, Xiao Yuzhi wouldn't have called us."

"That's right."

At this point in time, they should have just finished preparing for the next day and are leisurely soaking their feet.

"Don't ignore me, little brat!" The man's voice came from the other end of the phone again.

"Aunt Sanae, there's a dog barking over there." Si Yue Yuzhi said with a smile on his face.

"Pfft~"

""

As expected, a woman's laughter and a man's roar were heard on the phone.

In the past, the boss always called him a bastard, but he was still young at that time and could only be angry but not say anything due to the other party's fighting ability. Now that they are so far apart, he finally found a chance to retaliate.

After some greetings, Siyue Yuzhi decided to get down to business.

"First, let me report to uncle and auntie about Xiaozhu's recent situation..."

Because it was the first time for the girl to leave home to go to school, and her boss and aunt were far away in her hometown and could not always know the girl's daily situation, so he had to report to them every week.

This kind of thing is normal. After all, they are also worried. What they report is not anything private, but just their living and learning conditions, and whether they are healthy.

"... Nagisa is in good health, you don't have to worry."

The girl’s body has always been the biggest concern of the boss and the aunt.

"That's great..."

Hearing the relaxed voices of the two people on the phone, Si Yue Yuzhi also felt a lot more relaxed.

The boss and Aunt Sanae are willing to hand over their most precious treasures to him. Isn't this a kind of trust and test for him?

So no matter what, he couldn't let them down and let the girl get hurt. Otherwise, not only they, but even he would not forgive himself.

"By the way, I have one more thing to ask the boss and Aunt Sanae."

After reporting the girl's situation, Si Yue Yuzhi finally got to the point.

"I knew this brat had something else to say."

The boss' voice on the phone was somewhat smug.

"Xiao Yuzhi, if you have any questions, just ask. We will answer all your questions."

"I want to ask if you know the song 'Dumpling Family'?"

"Why did you ask the same question as Xiaozhu?" The boss's voice immediately became confused.

April Yuzhi replied: "Because Xiaozhu sang it to me."

"what?!"

"Okay Qiu Sheng, don't take it so seriously."

Aunt Sanae first calmed down the grumpy boss, and then said, "Xiao Yuzhi, to tell you the truth, we have lived in this small town for a long time, but we have never heard that song."

"And we don't know where it came from or who taught it to Nagisa."

"Didn't uncle and aunt ask other people?"

It's only natural that one would be curious when a song he had never heard before came out of his daughter's mouth.

"I have asked, but even some respected elders have never heard of it."

If they had never heard of it, that could be explained by lack of experience, but that couldn't be explained if even the old people had never heard of it.

"..."

"Xiao Yuzhi, can you tell us why you are so curious?"

"Because Xiaozhu remembered me for so long, I think it must be a very precious memory for her, so I want to help her get it back."

April Yuzhi spoke truthfully: "Also, I think this is a bit strange."

"......" After the words fell, both parties fell into a brief silence.

However, the silence did not last long, and the boss's voice suddenly came again.

"You may not believe it, but it seems that after that day, Xiaozhu will sing this song."

"After that day?" Upon hearing this, Si Yue Yuzhi immediately pricked up his ears. His intuition told him that this must be where the answer to the question lies.

"It was that day..." Furukawa Akio let out a breath and recounted the past events one by one.

"Sanae and I didn't start out running a bakery. I was a member of the theater troupe and Sanae was a middle school teacher. We loved our jobs so much that we put almost all our energy into them and neglected to accompany Nagisa..."

"Until that day when it snowed heavily..."

For them, this is a memory that they cannot bear to recall, and every time they think of it, they feel heartbroken.

If they had been able to devote a little energy to accompany Xiao Zhu, she might have had a happy and complete childhood instead of being trapped in a small house, playing with building blocks and reading picture books alone.

They are not competent parents, and this is something they will never be able to get over.

Si Yueyuzhi listened to the man's story silently. He could clearly feel the man's emotions on the phone.

Self-blame, regret, pain...intertwined with each other, making his voice smaller and smaller, but even though his heart was in great pain, he still didn't stop.

"I brought Xiaozhu there, and then... I don't know how to describe the feeling, it was like some adult couldn't bear to take Xiaozhu away... Then, Xiaozhu... Xiaozhu opened his eyes."

"..."

Si Yue Yu Zhi was also silent. He knew what happened to the girl in her childhood, which was why she spent almost her entire childhood alone.

But he didn't know that the girl almost lost her life.

The indescribable mood made Si Yueyuzhi's heart extremely depressed. Although the boss's description was too straightforward, he still felt the pain, as if he had personally experienced the departure of the girl.

"Boy, go ahead and scold me if you want." Kohe Akio's tone was full of depression: "Only this time I won't talk back."

Curse?

Under normal circumstances, he would have taken this opportunity to laugh at her without hesitation.

But he wouldn't do that now. How could he add insult to injury when someone was sad and in pain, let alone his boss and Aunt Sanae?

Besides, he had no right to blame his boss and Aunt Sanae. There was nothing wrong with them pursuing their own ideals. They still loved the girl in their hearts, and they had tried hard to make amends.

Until he gave up his dream and started an ordinary life by running a bakery in a small town.

"Even if the boss begs me, I won't scold him..."

Si Yueyuzhi shook his head. He knew that only if he scolded his boss would he feel better.

"...Once you miss this opportunity, you will miss this store."

"It doesn't matter."

"Why are you so disobedient!"

Damn boy, I usually want to argue with him every day, but when it comes to this moment he behaves like a good kid.

What should he do?

"I won't do what my boss wants."

Isn't this how they always get along? So this time he will be the same and will not follow his boss's wishes.

"..."

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Siyue Yuzhi was ready to hang up the phone. It would be better to let the boss and Aunt Sanae comfort each other at this time.

However, just as Si Yueyu was about to hang up the phone, a little head suddenly popped up at the door.

"Yuzhi, did I disturb you?"

Seeing that the boy seemed busy with his cell phone, Nagisa Furukawa decided to leave.

The movements of his hands stopped, and Siyue Yuzhi suddenly thought of a way to help the boss get out of his loss.

"Xiao Zhu, it's okay, come here." Si Yue Yuzhi deliberately spoke loudly, without any intention of concealing it.

After all, this is the effect he wants.

"Is it really possible?"

Although she asked this, Nagisa Furukawa honestly hugged the pillow and came to April Yuzhi's bed, then climbed onto the bed skillfully, with her whole body curled up in the quilt with only her small head sticking out.

"Hey, Yuzhi's bed is so warm."

After completing a series of actions in one go, the girl showed a silly smile, looking at Siyue Yuzhi beside her with shining eyes, with happiness written all over her face.

"Xiao Zhu, guess who I'm talking to on the phone?" Si Yue Yuzhi looked back at the girl and asked with a smile.

At this time, there was no sound on the phone. It was not because the boss hung up, but that a storm was brewing.

"Who is it?" Furukawa Nagisa was of course very curious. She didn't ask right away because she respected the young man. Now that he took the initiative to speak, she was happy to know.

"look."

Si Yue Yuzhi placed the phone where the girl could see it clearly, and as expected, he soon saw the fleeting surprise and excitement on the girl's face.

——Boss Furukawa.

"father!"

Along with the girl's joyful cry, a desperate cry was heard from the phone.

"Do not!!!"

After hearing the girl's voice, Furukawa Akio turned pale. Compared to his despair, Furukawa Sanae had a look of interest on her face.

"Oh my, I didn't expect that Xiaozhu and Yuzhi would develop to this point?"

"This step?" The girl's happy little head was still a little slow, but she quickly reacted.

"No, it's not what mom thinks."

"But Xiaozhu is sleeping with Yuzhi now, right?"

After Furukawa Sanae finished speaking, she heard the sound of something breaking beside her. But she didn't care, because Akio's heart would be repaired soon after it was broken.

"Well, yes, that's right."

The cute girl was not good at lying, so she could only answer honestly with a blushing face.

"How's it going? Do something with Yuzhi again?"

Not only the boss, but also Siyue Yuzhi couldn't stand it anymore. He didn't expect Aunt Sanae to be so wild.

Just as he was about to explain, a scream suddenly came from the phone.

"You little bastard, if you dare to do anything to Xiaozhu, I will definitely skin you alive!"

"Dad, you can't do this!!"

Before Si Yueyu could respond, the girl spoke first.

Chapter 156 Don't Try to Use Me

April Yuzhi took what he learned from Furukawa Akio as the final answer to the matter, even though it sounded a little unbelievable and others might not believe it at all.

But there are so many magical things in the world that even science cannot explain. Isn’t he an eyewitness?

He is neither the chosen one of this world, nor the only one, nor the so-called protagonist. He is just an ordinary person with a little bit of luck.

Perhaps, Xiaozhu is the protagonist of the world. Not only Xiaozhu, but also the others.

He was not talking about the real world, but his own world.

"happy?"

After hanging up the phone, Siyue Yuzhi looked at the smiling girl beside him and asked with a chuckle.

"Yeah, I'm happy!" Nagisa Furukawa nodded repeatedly, her face full of happiness.

Although she would be teased by her mother and yelled at by her father from time to time during the conversation, to her these were extremely touching words, just like going back to the past, making her feel that her parents were by her side.

"Please call home more often in the future."
