I have a lot of green plums

"receive."

April's words are concise and to the point.

While the girl was putting her things back into the house, Si Yue Yu Zhi and the five girls followed her in.

Outside the door, Furukawa Akio and Furukawa Sanae looked at each other.

"Qiu Sheng, is this really okay?"

"Not good, but as soon as we go back, that kid will definitely leave." Furukawa Akio sighed with a cigarette in his mouth and said, "Only in this way can they play with Xiaozhu for a while longer."

After that day in the summer vacation, Xiao Zhu always said to them, "Mom and Dad, they are so funny," and would tell them about the interactions between her and the boy over and over again, and the smile on her face was brighter than usual.

Xiao Zhu hasn't been in contact with people of her age for a long time.

They also knew that Xiao Zhu really needed playmates of the same age, or even to go to school, but Xiao Zhu's health was always a concern for them.

They were afraid. What if Xiaozhu got hurt while they were away? What if her classmates bullied her? If that really happened, would Xiaozhu end up like she did that night?

They had already lost Xiao Zhu once and couldn't afford to lose her again.

"We can talk to him properly. There's no need to be like this."

"That's what I said..." Furukawa Akio also felt that his behavior was somewhat suspicious of deceiving children.

He was also very conflicted inside, with his daughter on one side and his conscience on the other.

Finally, Furukawa Akio gritted his teeth and said, "Wait five more minutes, I won't do this kind of thing again."

"Then hide for a while longer?"

"Ah."

After discussing it, the two were preparing to hide for a while, but before they could take any action, they saw the door curtain of the living area in the store being opened, and a line of sight fell on them.

The boy's gaze was unusually calm, but it made it difficult for the two to take another step.

"Haha, I, we're back!"

Since he had been discovered, there was nothing he could do, so Akio Furukawa greeted him with a smile.

Nagisa, who came out with them, came out from behind Yotsuba Yuzhi the moment she heard the sound. When she saw her parents at the door, her eyes lit up instantly.

"Mom and Dad!" She trotted over to them.

"Xiao Zhu! My dear daughter, are you okay? Do you miss mom and dad? Woo woo woo, I haven't seen you for a long time, Xiao Zhu, mom and dad have missed you for a long time!"

Furukawa Akio squatted down and hugged the girl, making exaggerated noises. April Yuzhi got goosebumps when he heard it, but he still watched the interaction between the family of three silently.

"Yeah, I thought so!"

"How much do you miss it? Mom and Dad miss it so much."

“I really want to, too!”

Nagisa's face was filled with a happy smile, as if she was the happiest child at this moment.

"By the way, Mom and Dad, where did you go?"

"Ah...hahaha, mom and I went out for some exercise, Nagisa isn't scared, is she?"

Furukawa Akio told a lie casually.

"No, thanks to, there is... um..."

The girl turned to look at the boy in the store and was speechless for a moment. To be honest, she didn't even know his name.

Although she had heard the five girls call the boy "Yuzhi", it would definitely be impolite to call someone by their name without their consent.

However, she still felt it was a bit inappropriate to use other names instead.

"I gave it in April."

Seeing the girl's conflicted look, Siyue Yuzhi came over and reminded her.

When he said this, Nagisa's expression instantly brightened. She didn't expect that the other party would actually tell her his name.

"Well, thanks to April-san!"

"Really?" Furukawa Akio stood up, laughed and patted April Yuzhi on the shoulder, "Thank you very much, April! To express my gratitude, why don't you stay for lunch!"

I'm sure my daughter will be very happy.

"No need to eat." Si Yue Yu Zhi refused: "We will leave immediately."

Furukawa Akio's smile froze on his face, and the girl's expression instantly became lost.

"But before I go, I have something to say to you, boss."

April Yuzhi said expressionlessly.

"Then come over and talk." Furukawa Akio glanced at the alley next to the store, "Sanae, take Nagisa back."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the alley.

"it is good......"

Si Yue Yu Zhi was not afraid and followed him. Looking at Gu He Qiu Sheng standing at the entrance of the alley, he was the first to speak: "Boss, why did you and the boss lady run away when I came?"

"Just leave her alone at home, aren't you worried about her?"

At first, Siyue Yuzhi thought that what he did with the boss's wife happened often, but it turned out that the girl had already explained it to him very clearly.

They never leave her alone at home and are usually home.

But after seeing him, the two of them ran out together. This is really puzzling behavior. Are they so sure that he is a good person?

Although it is indeed the case.

"How can I not be worried?" Upon hearing this, Furukawa Akio laughed and shook his head, then looked up at the sky and sighed deeply.

"But no matter how worried I am, I also want to make Nagisa happier."

"Why?" Si Yueyu asked puzzledly. He thought the girl was quite cheerful. Although she looked a little dull, she didn't look unhappy.

"To tell you the truth..." Furukawa Akio sighed, "Nagisa doesn't have any playmates of the same age, and she has even stayed at home for a long time."

"It sounds like there's some profound reason for this."

Si Yue Yu Zhi did not ask, but waited for the other party to speak out himself.

Sure enough, Koga Akio reached out and slammed the wall hard, his tone tinged with sadness and self-blame.

"This is all my fault... If I could go home earlier! If I could stay with Xiao Nagisa all the time! If I could quit acting..."

"If I..."

His other hand was clenched and his fist kept hitting the wall, as if only the physical pain could make him feel better.

After talking for so long, I still didn't tell you the reason.

Si Yueyuzhi looked at the man in front of him. He could feel the regret emanating from him, so he did not continue to ask for the specific reason.

Sometimes keeping silent is also a sign of respect and understanding for a person. Delving into the reasons why something happened will only bring harm to others.

"So, what you're saying is that you want us to be your daughter's playmates?"

Knowing the conditions, Siyue Yuzhi could easily get the result.

Gu He Qiusheng was stunned for a moment, then said: "You are quite smart, kid."

He withdrew his hand without caring about the scars on it and put it in his pocket.

Leaning against the wall and looking at April Yuzhi, he said, "So what's your answer?"

"To be honest, I'm actually very busy." Si Yue Yuzhi did not give a direct answer.

"I have classes from Monday to Friday, and I have to study various things at home on Saturdays and Sundays. It can be said that my schedule is almost full. The reason I can come here today is just to buy things."

"Does that mean there is no hope?" A hint of disappointment appeared on Furukawa Akio's face.

“I didn’t refuse directly.”

Si Yueyuzhi really didn't understand why the other party was so eager to draw conclusions. If he had refused, would he still be talking so much nonsense to him here?

Hearing this, Gu He Qiu's eyes were full of hope again: "So what do you mean?!"

"I mean, I can be a playmate for your daughter, but if the things on the schedule are not completed, I will bring them here directly."

"If you don't mind the noise, then it's settled."

"I don't mind, I don't mind!"

How could Furukawa Akio be disgusted? It was just a little noisy, wasn't it? Noisy things make things lively and lively!

"Also, I can only come once a week, and only for half a day."

"Good good!"

It’s great to be able to come, let alone for half a day.

"Any more requests?"

"Not for now." As soon as April Yuzhi finished speaking, Furukawa Akio immediately ran back to the bakery with a big laugh.

"Nagisa! Listen to me! You'll have a playmate from now on!"

"Sanae, hurry up and pull out the banner!"

April gave it: "......"

He couldn't understand this guy's feelings. Perhaps this was what was called fatherly love.

However, he didn't quite understand.

This decision did not seem to cause much reaction among the girls, as if what he said last time really played a significant role.

However, there are still some people who are jealous.

"Yuzhi, do you really like that child more?"

Mijiu puffed up her face and looked angry. She found that this boy had really changed. He only cared about them before, but now he would make such a decision for a girl he had only met twice.

"Who said that? Of course I like you guys more."

April Yuzhi immediately expressed his feelings.

"I won't believe you."

Although she said that, Miku still showed a smile on her face. This was just the words she wanted.

Although it is so simple, it makes her feel very happy and at ease.

Yuzhi said that she was the sea and would meet more people in the future. If she was so stingy, Yuzhi might dislike her.

"What I said is true. I will be very sad if Sanjiu doesn't believe it."

Eh, why do I feel a little sick?

When saying this, Siyue Yuzhi cursed at himself in his heart.

"Okay, okay." Mijiu became even happier after hearing this, and even a smile appeared in her eyes.

"I believe it."

"Thank you for your trust, Sanjiu." Siyue Yuzhi thanked sincerely, and then looked at the other four girls: "What about you?"

"Haha, Yuzhi has already made up his mind, right? I have no objection, and that child is really pitiful."

"Anyway, we must follow them no matter what. You are not allowed to sneak over there alone."

"You can eat a lot of snacks and make new friends, so of course I have to go."

"Amu, Amu, I'm going."

"Very good, let's go together next Saturday."

Seeing that no one objected, April Yuzhi decided on the date immediately.

Isn't this also finding a new partner for these girls?
