They all have special skills

No, no!

Qingshuichuan doesn't think that Qingshui Akane is such an unreliable girl. Of course, the most important thing is that he believes in his future self.

He knows his own temperament well. He is already a high school student, and his temperament has been roughly determined now, which has laid a general foundation for the future.

Unless he encounters a major change, he doesn't think his temper or behavior will change much in the future.

If Akane Shimizu really behaved so childishly, I would never let her go back to the present.

So the situation now is very clear.

What Akane said might be true.

After realizing that the other party is not talking or exaggerating.

Qingshuichuan suddenly felt a dry cough in his throat, but he didn't care about it and hurriedly wanted to ask clearly: "What's going on? Explain clearly."

Akane Shimizu looked at her father's suddenly anxious face and sighed with regret.

If possible, she really didn't want to say these things to her father.

The future was too far away and out of reach now. She didn't want her father, whom she saw as omnipotent, to experience the feeling of simply knowing bad news but being unable to do anything about it.

But since the questioning has reached this point and his attitude is so firm, it is really hard to avoid it.

Therefore, she could only answer truthfully and hoped to end the topic quickly.

"What could possibly be going on... Dad, you already knew what was going on from that expression. Mom left when I was very young, and after that, you and the other moms pretty much raised me single-handedly."

"..."

Qingshuichuan digested this fact in silence.

Even though he had anticipated this situation, when Qian actually said it, he still couldn't accept it for the time being.

"impossible!"

Qingshui Ai stood up excitedly at this time. She was very small, and only half of her head was visible when she stood at the table. Half of her face was hidden under the table, not to mention she had any imposing manner.

Shimizu Ai seemed to be aware of this problem. At this time, she no longer cared about being a lady or not. She quickly kicked off her princess shoes and stood on the bench wearing half-hollow white cotton socks with cute lace.

She reiterated her judgment with great certainty.

"Mom she wouldn't do that!"

Very loud sound.

This time, he was met with strange looks from guests at several tables.

Although she was very precocious, she was still just a child after all. She could not accept seeing her beloved mother being spoken ill of in such a way, even if that person was her future sister. Of course, she had to stand up and clarify the facts.

But Akane Shimizu just looked at her with a smile, and she didn't get angry with her sister who was still a child.

Qingshuichuan quickly hugged Qingshui Ai in his arms and kept touching her head to try to comfort her.

As one of the parties who was unaware of the situation, although his emotions were also fluctuating greatly, he remained relatively calm and continued to ask.

"What exactly happened? She couldn't have just suddenly abandoned us and left without any reason."

Akane Shimizu placed her fingers on the table, raising and lowering them rhythmically, her expression gradually becoming dull and cold.

"It's true that there's no reason for it, but the reason given is quite speechless."

"what?"

"Maybe she felt she wasn't qualified to be like this. She just wanted to be by your side and have everything she wanted. She said she wanted to achieve something, and then everything just happened naturally."

"..."

Qingshui Ai looked incredulous, and Qingshui Chuan also felt it was a bit magical.

It would have been fine if this had happened not long after they started dating, but they already had children... two...

The younger daughter spoke easily and naturally, but what exactly happened?

"Mom, she..."

Qingshuichuan covered Qingshui Ai's mouth. This little loli's voice was very penetrating, and if she spoke a little louder, everyone around her could hear her.

So he could only lean over to her ear and whispered to her to listen carefully and not interrupt, and leave the rest to him.

Although Shimizu Ai was indignant, since her father had said so, she could only accept it and nodded helplessly.

But the look he gave Akane Shimizu wasn't as friendly as before, and he looked sulky, as if to say, "If you don't apologize for what you just said, I won't play with you anymore."

After calming down his eldest daughter, Qing Shuichuan raised his head and looked at Qing Shui Akane again.

"Tell me more about it, don't be so vague. Why did Fengchuan suddenly become like this? Even if your memories of your childhood aren't very clear, considering your current state... my future self must have said something to you, right?"

You know yourself best. Just now, Qingshuichuan tried to put himself in the situation that Qingshui Akane described.

With a child who hated his mother so much, he felt that he would definitely take some action, say or do something, even if it was to prevent the relationship between them from deteriorating.

The main reason was that he still felt that even if Fengchuan left suddenly as Akane said, there must be some hidden secrets, big or small, otherwise it would not make sense logically.

Akane Shimizu pouted, her action was cute but her expression was full of impatience.

Qingshuichuan waited patiently for her to complete her mental preparation and did not urge her.

Looking at her like this, you can tell that the matter about her mother is probably a thorn in her heart that has been accumulated over the years, and it must be quite deep.

It is not easy to expose your inner wounds to others, even to your closest people.

By the way, although Akane Shimizu hasn't said it yet, Shimizu Kawa seems to have slowly guessed the reason why his future self asked her to return to the present.

In the end, Akane Shimizu sighed and was defeated.

She supported her chin with her right hand and looked sideways at the neon lights and traffic outside the floor-to-ceiling window. Her expression was that of a wise man who had seen through the dullness of life.

But in Qingshuichuan's eyes... he could only silently purse his lips to show respect.

Can’t laugh... God knows how his little daughter’s current appearance can trigger his uncontrollable laughter!

"Dad, you did tell me that Mom had something she regretted and longed for that she needed to do. She made this choice because of your support behind the scenes..."

But anyone with a discerning eye can see otherwise. She's clearly forming that band just for herself! She's having fun, playing and singing on the big screen! But has she ever considered our feelings? She often doesn't come home for months at a time, and what's the point of occasionally showing a video pop-up? She even told me to practice piano more. If you really want to express your motherly love, why don't you learn from Shiyu's mother, Eriri's mother?

"..."

Akane Shimizu seemed a little excited, but she also said a lot of words.

Qingshuichuan and Qingshuiai listened and got more information from it.

It seems that he in the future supported Toyokawa in pursuing his unfulfilled dream. During this period, he seemed to have neglected the young Akane, which led to her current hatred for her mother.

And judging from what she just revealed, what she witnessed around her was probably the various ways Shiyu and Eriri loved their child, which made her put herself in their shoes and compare them, and then think of her own absent mother...

Maybe the sense of disparity came all of a sudden...

After thinking it through, Qingshuichuan slowly relaxed his brows.

In fact, after he quickly sorted out the situation, he once again recalled the whole process from Akane Shimizu's perspective.

But even so, he couldn't understand why Qingshui Akane was so angry now.

Logically speaking, as she grows older and her wings grow stronger, her empathy will not be so strong that she cannot understand things like supporting her mother in pursuing her dreams.

So is there another reason?

"It's really too much to not be with your own child when she needs you most."

He had one set of thoughts in his mind, but what Qingshuichuan said on the surface was indeed something else.

Akane Shimizu withdrew her gaze from the window. It was not known whether she believed what Shimizu Kawa said. In any case, she fell silent after taking a glance. She probably realized that her father was agreeing with her.

"Akane, do you think Toyokawa won't care about you at all in the future?"

Qingshuichuan tried to change his thinking to achieve his goal.

"Absolutely... not really. It's just that from a mother's perspective, she's too self-centered. You know, Shiyu's mother was already shortlisted for the Mishima Prize, but she was worried about Dad and us, and was afraid that those omnipresent reporters would get involved, so she voluntarily gave up the award. But Mom..."

"What's up with her?"

"She's the mother of two, and she directly announced that she's single, without any consideration for your feelings, Dad."

"..."

Qingshuichuan was silent again, but it was understandable. As for the reason, Qingshui Akane had just said it.

"You know very well why Fengchuan did this."

"I know, but she clearly has a better choice, just like Shiyu's mother..."

Akane Shimizu's voice lowered. She seemed unwilling to continue talking. She called the waiter and started ordering food on her own, not wanting to wait for her mother.

Qingshuichuan did not stop her. He silently hugged Qingshui Ai and pinched her soft palms. This was much more fun than those soft little decompression toys.

So the root cause of the problem lies in the psychological gap after the comparison...

Your own mother is not as good as other people's mothers.

Shiyu chose to give up career honor for the sake of her family. She obviously puts family first and is very humane.

As for Fengchuan's words... it seems to be the complete opposite, but considering the ups and downs she has experienced in her life, it is understandable.

However, in the eyes of a child who has never understood his mother since childhood, this situation is unilaterally recognized, and the preconceived idea that "I am not cared about" is deeply rooted, so the current situation seems to be justified.

Moreover, Qingshuichuan seemed to have grasped the key point of what Qingshui Akane had just said.

"You didn't consider Dad's feelings at all."

So, amidst this dissatisfaction with the biological mother, there is actually some sense of injustice towards the treatment suffered by the biological father?

Ah... the problems between this mother and daughter are really weird...

Although it's a bit inappropriate, I still feel a little happy...

"What's wrong, Dad...you're looking at me like that all of a sudden."

Akane Shimizu felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Shimizukawa suddenly smiling, and the smile became brighter and brighter.

"Nothing, I just suddenly thought my little daughter is so cute!"

"...!"

A blush suddenly spread across Qingshui Akane's cheeks.

"Dad, what are you suddenly saying?"

Qingshuichuan continued to smile,

"I have a general understanding of the situation. You don't have to worry about me, and you don't have to feel sorry for me."

"Ok?"

Akane Shimizu still looked like she didn't understand the situation.

The waiter brought the drink and Shimizukawa pushed it in front of Shimizu Akane.

Fengchuan will be here soon. There is no need to worry about whether it is right or wrong now. The first thing to do is to temporarily alleviate Shimizu Akane's hostility and dissatisfaction towards her.

There are some things that are difficult to say directly to a man in his thirties or forties who has entered society and has to consider his authoritative father. However, if a father who has just started high school and has no psychological burden says it, there is no problem at all.

"Is it possible that in the future, I supported Fengchuan in pursuing her unfulfilled dreams because I also had my own selfish desires involved, including the idea that she announced she was single to the outside world, which was also my idea behind the scenes."

"...What are you talking about, Dad?"

"Xia, you're still young..."

"I'm not young anymore."

As she spoke, she straightened her back, and her feminine characteristics were indeed quite obvious.

Qingshuichuan was also quite proud of her, and on another level he raised her to be plump and white.

He changed his words,

"You are not a man, so you don't know the male mindset."

"..."

This time, Akane Shimizu had no way to refute and could only listen obediently.

"You just said that Fengchuan will be able to appear on the big screen in the future?"

"I guess so. It happened quite often. After all, the band my mom was in was already quite famous at that time."

"That's right. Do you know how much of a sense of accomplishment it is for a man to conquer a beautiful woman with public influence? Especially when such a conquest takes place in private, unknown to most people outside."
