They all have special skills

Qingshui Wu's family was wealthy, but seeing his friend in this state, he naturally refused to lend him money.

Instead, I tried to persuade him many times and make him change his ways.

But as we all know, nine out of ten gamblers will not listen to such unpleasant advice.

Qingshui Wu had no choice since he couldn't persuade his good friend.

At least, you should take some care of his poor daughter Xiao Xingcai.

Don't let this innocent little cutie be influenced by her asshole dad.

At least let her have a carefree and happy childhood like other children.

Instead of being fooled by your gambling dad who has lost all his money.

What to believe——

Children who are too young cannot eat beef...

When it comes to French cuisine, this toast baguette is the most famous and delicious representative dish...

Yes! This cookie called Oreo is the absolute king of snacks! The most expensive one! Happy birthday to you, Xingcai...

damned!

Qingshui Wu had the chance to hear Xiao Xingcai happily share her experience of receiving "expensive" snacks as a gift from her father on her birthday. He almost ran out of the house and hit that stupid friend on the head!

How can you be so cruel!

You're just going to trick your own daughter into celebrating her birthday by using common cookies?

He wasn't even willing to use up even a tiny bit of his money from playing with shot pins to buy her even the smallest cake?!

Anyway, he no longer had any hope for his good friend after that.

Under such circumstances, the sensible Shimizukawa naturally took better care of Yanami Anna.

No matter what snacks I have, there will be a portion for her.

He would take her to his house for dinner almost every day.

Whenever the family has a group family activity, he will also bring her along.

Occasionally, when Yanai saw someone coming to her house to collect debts, he would see her from afar and let her sleep at his house that night.

The two of them squeezed into the same bed at night, and Xiao Xingcai laughed foolishly.

In short, for various reasons.

Anai Yanami was very well protected by Shimizu River when she was a child.

She was still young and not very sensible at the time, and she didn't even think there was anything wrong with her bare home.

Fortunately, Xingcai's father finally repented one day when he could no longer bear it and threatened to divorce his wife.

From that day on, he quit gambling completely, started to work hard, repay his debts, and treat his wife and daughter well.

At this time, Yanai saw that Kyouna was already in the second grade of elementary school.

Because of her father's reformation, her family's financial situation has improved.

In addition, as she grew older, she came to Qingshui's house less and less frequently to spend the night.

However, the number of times he came to visit and sat at the dining table increased, and it became more and more natural.

The Qingshui family did not show any impatience about this, but welcomed it very much.

Because Yana found that Anna was both cute and polite, and always smiling at others, almost no one disliked her with such a good personality.

It was as if Qingshuichuan silently treated her as a non-blood-related sister in his heart.

The other members of the Shimizu family also regarded her as a member of the family.

Especially grandpa, he likes her very much.

In previous years, whenever it was Yanami Anna's birthday, he would remind her at the dinner table several days in advance as if nothing had happened, so that the family could prepare in advance.

He obviously doesn't care about his own birthday.

This means that she is completely treated as a "little granddaughter" outside the family.

And look at today.

It is true that Ryuta Shimizu's previous love for Anami Yanami was correct.

----

"...Grandpa, how are you feeling now?"

"Well, I'm much better than yesterday. I asked the doctor this morning, and I'll be able to go home soon."

"That's great! Chuan... is back too. We have to celebrate tonight..."

Qingshuichuan gave up the seat beside the bed and watched the two of them talking with a smile in his eyes.

From their conversation, he also learned that during the time his grandfather was in the hospital, Yanami Kyoko came to take care of him almost every day.

She even stayed in the ward during the two days of vacation.

It was just to stay by my grandfather's side during this period when my life or death was unknown, and to say as many happy words as possible to stop him from having too many wild thoughts.

call……

Qingshuichuan looked at his childhood sweetheart and sighed silently in his heart.

I felt like I owed her a big favor, and I had to pay it back...

When I have time, I'll take her to the seafood buffet we visited before.

Last time I saw her, she was showing off three small blue dragons, four large crabs, seven skewers of grilled squid, plus countless desserts and special dishes...

It’s okay if the price per person is a bit high. She has worked hard these days, so let this little foodie have a happy meal.

"Grandpa, I bought you the senbei you said you wanted to eat yesterday."

"Good boy, put it here first."

From beginning to end, the wrinkles on Shimizu Ryuta's face, which were formed by his overly happy smile, never smoothed out.

This also shows how much he likes Yanami Anna.

At that time, he hoped that Qingshuichuan's mother would consider having more children, since the family was well off anyway.

But Shimizu Miyoko did not agree.

The reason is that the experience of giving birth is so hard that it is enough to happen only once in a lifetime.

It was exactly the same reason that Grandma Qingshui had given.

This made him feel quite helpless.

At first, he tried to communicate with his son and tried to make his daughter-in-law change her mind.

But later on, he didn't care anymore because Xiao Xingcai appeared.

It filled the void of regret in his heart and also happened to receive the extra love from the old man.

Ryuta Shimizu rolled back the quilt and got out of bed. Shimizu Kawa and Yanami Kyoko hurried forward to support him from both sides.

He waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

"It's okay, I can walk by myself."

He put on his slippers himself,

"I'm going to look for your grandma outside."

Qingshuichuan said quickly,

"I'll accompany you."

Yana saw Kyouna following suit,

"Me too."

"What are you two doing? Are you two going to be my bodyguards? I'm not that old yet. You two stay here, I'll be back soon."

Shimizu Ryuta laughed and said this, then walked straight out of the ward.

Seeing that he had a straight back and walked steadily, it seemed that there was nothing to worry about.

After Ryuta Shimizu left, only Shimizu Kawa and Yanami Anna were left alone in the ward.

The emotions that I couldn't express just now, the words that I couldn't say just now, can now be expressed more directly.

"Great, you're okay..."

"Don't cry, Xingcai...why are you reacting like this..."

"Wow... I'm just worried... You haven't heard from me in so many days...

I wanted to go to Tokyo with my uncle, but my father wouldn’t let me go, saying that I would only cause more trouble and wouldn’t be of any help at all…”

"Although...Uncle is right."

"Wow, wow, wow...you're so annoying!"

----

"Hush-hush-"

After the initial uncontrollable emotional outburst, Yana saw that Kyoko was finally able to control her emotions a little.

Her nose was twitching, her face was red, and she let Qingshuichuan wipe away the tears on her face with a tissue.

At the same time, listen to the other person talk about his general experience during this period of time.

The so-called companion in distress was simply ignored by Yanami Anna.

Anyway, as long as the person who is most important to her...

I'm glad Chuan is okay.

"Don't do anything so dangerous again."

"It was an accident. There was a problem with the ferry."

"Then, don't take the ferry anymore. It's too dangerous on the unpredictable ocean."

"If you say so, then the same applies to airplanes in the sky and cars on the ground."

"..."

Yana saw that Kyona was speechless.

He lowered his head, raised his right fist, and gently pressed it against Qingshuichuan's chest.

She was worried about getting what she had lost back, so she said this without thinking.

Now that Qing Shuichuan had refuted her so seriously, she felt even more that this guy was unromantic.

The older I get, the less considerate I become. I'm completely different from when I was a child!

You don't understand girls' feelings at all!

However, the next moment, she felt the weight on her head, and the confused expression on her face disappeared, and she slowly opened her wet eyes.

Qingshuichuan gently touched her head,

"Okay, okay. I know you're worried about me. I'll be careful not to put myself in this kind of danger again. I won't let Grandpa and the others, nor will I let you, Xingcai, worry anymore."

"..."

When Yana saw Xingna slowly raise her head and meet Shimizugawa's gaze, he smiled handsomely again.

Yana saw Xingcai's eyes tremble, and quickly looked away, not daring to continue looking at him.

"Stop touching my head... I'm not a child anymore..."

But having said that, Yana saw that Kyoka didn't act at all like she did before when Shimizu Takeshi touched her head.

Show a resisting expression or move away.

Instead, it just stayed there obediently, as if its long-awaited owner had finally returned home.

A warm expression of greed and peace of mind.

"Sichuan……"
