I have a lot of green plums

"dad."

"Maruo."

The five girls and Nakano Rena first came forward and greeted them warmly, while April Yuzhi watched from the side without saying anything.

"Mr. Nakano."

After they finished greeting each other, Si Yue Yu Zhi took the initiative to say hello: "Long time no see."

"Well, long time no see, April." Nakano Maruo glanced at April and nodded slightly, then walked to the table and sat down.

At this time, a table full of delicious dishes was already placed on the table.

"Come and sit."

Si Yue Yuzhi did not refuse and sat opposite Nakano Maruo, and soon a cup was pushed in front of him.

"Drink tea."

Not knowing what the other party's specific intention was, Si Yue Yuzhi did not take the initiative to ask, but just picked up the cup and slowly tasted the bitter taste of the tea.

"Let's eat."

As soon as I put down the cup, the other person picked up the chopsticks again.

The atmosphere at the Nakano family's dinner table was a little subtle. It wasn't that their relationship was bad, but compared to the warmth of an ordinary family, there was more politeness at the table at this time.

When did Auntie Rena marry Mr. Nakano?

Ever since the girls heard that Mr. Nakano had become their father, he had simply accepted it naturally and had never thought about the reason behind this problem.

Because he didn't really care about this, he would rather think that it was good news for him that Aunt Rena could rebuild her family, not to mention marrying such an excellent man like Nakano.

After all, Aunt Rena had a very hard life, raising five girls alone, and even contracted a disease and almost died.

Now that she was able to marry into such a good family, he was happy for her from the bottom of his heart. Although there was still a teacher-student relationship between them, he didn't care about it at all.

He originally thought that Aunt Rena and Mr. Nakano were together because of their love for each other. During their long treatment, they fell in love with each other and finally got married.

But now it seems that this is not entirely the case. There must be some secret between them that he doesn't know about.

However, even if there were any secrets, he couldn't ask about them casually. No matter what, the fact that they were married would not change.

They finished dinner happily together. Si Yue Yuzhi took the initiative to wash the dishes. When he wiped his hands and walked out of the kitchen, he was stopped by Nakano Maruo again.

"April-kun, can you come with me?"

Si Yue Yuzhi had no intention of refusing, but nodded slightly.

"Then please come with me."

After saying that, Nakano Maruo walked towards a room, and Siyue Yuzhi followed behind him.

This is a study room with only a simple desk, a computer and a bookshelf with a few books.

"April-kun, you've been making quite a fuss lately."

Nakano Maruo's voice was cold. Si Yue Yuzhi couldn't tell whether it was a tease or a question. He had no intention of answering it. He just silently waited for the other party to continue speaking.

"Do you know you're famous now?"

Si Yueyuzhi thought about it and said, "Is this a bad thing?"

He has indeed done some things that will attract attention, especially not long ago when he yelled on the runway to encourage the five girls and was even filmed and posted online.

Now, both he and the five girls were relatively famous on the Internet. He didn't know what the man in front of him thought of "fame". Perhaps to a family like his, his behavior was like a clown.

But he didn't think so. He had chosen to remain silent before because he was young and lacked energy, but now he has enough ability to deal with the troubles that may come.

"No, I just want to know what you think, April, about my five daughters."

It was for this indeed.

Si Yueyuzhi did not hesitate and answered: "I think this is a path for them."

Those five girls were very mediocre. Apart from their outstanding looks, they were extremely ordinary in other aspects even among ordinary people.

He wasn't being disparaging about them, it was just the truth.

Because they are aware of their own ordinariness and are afraid of hearing the boos from the outside world, they always stop where they are and dare not move forward.

He was happy from the bottom of his heart that they were learning musical instruments for him, but rather than playing solo for him, he would rather see the girls face the outside world and show their excellence to the public.

This is their opportunity to change.

"Do you think this path is suitable for them?"

Nakano Maruo walked to the window and looked down at the outside world.

"Do you think they have enough strength to go on?"

The top of the tower is a destination that many people will never be able to reach in their lifetime, and now those five girls are the princesses of this castle.

They don't have to feel any burden because of their ordinariness. They can live a good life every day even if they don't do anything in their entire life.

"April-kun, what do you think?"

“This is the right path for them!”

Si Yueyu answered with a firm look and without hesitation. He seldom interfered in other people's lives with such an affirmative tone, even those five girls who had always been close to him.

But now, he did it and didn't feel anything wrong.

“Because they are happy.”

Whether it was the passionate singing and playing on the stage or the smiles on their faces after the performance, it was all real and beautiful, and people's cheers were their selfless praise and affirmation of them.

This is what they have always wanted but never had.

"But what about the ability? They don't seem to have that ability."

"No, they have that ability." Denying Nakano Maruo's statement, Siyue Yuzhi continued: "Because I am by their side."

"You... I cannot deny that April-kun, you are indeed very talented. You are much better than any other person of your age that I have ever met."

Because of his personality, he rarely praises someone so openly, but the young man behind him is indeed too outstanding, even he will not hesitate to praise him.

"But your excellence is yours, it doesn't mean they have the ability."

"They have the ability." Si Yue Yuzhi repeated again: "Even if you don't think so, the facts are the facts, and they won't change because of your words."

"Haha." Nakano Maruo chuckled and asked, "Then tell me how far they can go with their abilities?"

"No matter how far they go, it proves their excellence. Mr. Nakano, grades are not the only indicator of a person, right?"

Perhaps a man like Nakano Maruo would feel that if he fails to achieve sufficient results in something, it is a failure and means he lacks the ability.

But he doesn't think so. As long as he does it, as long as he is willing to take a step forward, even if it's just one centimeter forward, it's proof of excellence.

Not everyone is a genius, most people in the world are ordinary and normal.

"..." The atmosphere in the study became quiet because of this sentence. Si Yue Yuzhi looked at the man in front of him with his back to him, wondering if he was angry because of his words.

But no matter what, his views will not change.

After a moment of silence, Nakano Maruo finally spoke up: "But if we can't achieve results, then it will be meaningless, right?"

The voice no longer had the previous coldness, but was filled with an incomprehensible sigh.

"Then just make sure you get results, because I'm by their side."

Regardless of how arrogant her words may sound to others, Si Yue Yu Zhi continued, "I will pull them forward, make them better, and let people in Japan and even the world know their names."

"Huh, what an arrogant idea."

"But at least I'm not totally clueless, right?"

"Heh..." Nakano Maruo sighed deeply, then turned around and looked at April Yuzhi again. The expression that had been cold since they met now showed some relief.

"April-kun, you always impress me."

He has thought so since the first time he communicated with the boy in front of him. No matter whether he was a child or now, he always has his own ideas and takes responsibilities for others without complaint.

Even many adults do not possess such qualities.

Si Yueyuzhi smiled slightly: "I'm just doing what I should do."

"I believe you can do it." Nakano Maruo's eyes showed undisguised admiration, and he was full of confidence in the young man in front of him.

"Thank you."

"By the way, do you want to know why I married my teacher?"

The subject suddenly changed, and this time it was Siyue Yuzhi's turn to be stunned. He didn't know why the man in front of him suddenly brought up this topic.

"I guess you must be curious, after all, you should have noticed it. And, I think you have the right to know this."

"..."

He... He was indeed a little curious, but he didn't want to interfere in other people's private affairs. But his intuition told him that there seemed to be something hidden in the words of the man in front of him.

"Actually, we didn't cure the teacher at first."

Hearing this, Si Yue Yu Zhi's expression suddenly became serious.

"After the transfer, the teacher's health did gradually improve at first. But..."

"But what?" April Yuzhi couldn't help but clench his hands.

"But a year after the transfer, the teacher's physical function deteriorated rapidly, and even reached the critical stage..."

After being transferred to another hospital for treatment, the teacher's condition did improve. At that time, he thought that it might not take long for the teacher to recover.

However, who would have thought that a phone call that night would completely ruin his joy. The cold image on the monitor made him feel despair even when he thought about it now.

"It was then that..."

"That's when Auntie Rena wanted to leave a way out for those five idiots, so she married you?"

"You are really smart." Nakano Maruo sighed again.

Si Yue Yuzhi just stood there, trying hard to suppress the trembling in his heart. He never knew that such a thing had happened when he was away.

If... he meant if, if something really happened to Aunt Reina, they... No, it was heartbreaking just thinking about it.

April Yuzhi took a deep breath and felt a fear he had never felt before in his heart.

It was unknown how long it took for Si Yue Yu Zhi to calm down a little. He wanted to speak but found that his throat was tight.

But he still tried to speak: "But...but Auntie Reina is still fine now."

Although he was still feeling scared, Aunt Rena's lively appearance was enough to prove how much energy the man in front of him had spent to save her.

No matter what the process is, the result is always good.

This is probably the only thing that can make him happy at this moment.

"Yes, it's very good, and I'm very happy too." Nakano Maruo raised his head slightly and looked at the ceiling, and said softly: "But it wasn't me who cured him. At that time, the teacher's condition made everyone helpless. I could only watch the teacher's vital signs disappear little by little."

"If that's the case, then why..." Si Yue Yuzhi couldn't wait to speak, wanting to know what would happen next.

Knowing what the boy wanted to ask, Nakano Maruo didn't keep him waiting and continued, "You may not believe it, but it's because of Guang."

"Light?"

"Yes, light. A ball of light that came from nowhere cured the teacher's illness."

When the teacher's health improved rapidly, everyone was exclaiming that it was a medical miracle and praising his miraculous healing skills, but only he knew the truth of the matter.

If it weren't for that ball of light that night, I might have lost my teacher forever and lived in regret and self-blame forever.

"..."

"Don't you think it's magical?" Looking at the silent boy, Nakano Maruo curled the corner of his mouth. He felt that the boy would think he was talking nonsense. After all, such things were too fantastic and unbelievable for people living in modern times.

"No, I believe it." Si Yue Yu Zhi didn't know what he was thinking of, and said seriously, "Thank you very much, Mr. Nakano."

"Eh?" Nakano Maruo stared at the boy who bowed to him in a daze, "But, I obviously didn't cure the teacher..."

He still remembered how confident he was when he told the boy about transferring to another hospital, but in the end he almost let him down.

"But you've worked hard, and Auntie Rena is living a good life, right? I can't deny your efforts just because of this."

"...Oh."

"hehe......"
