They all have special skills

"Let me tell you first, this is something Grandpa accidentally overheard when he happened to pass by the living room. Don't ask your mother to verify it later, especially since Grandpa told you."

"Okay, I absolutely understand."

After getting his grandson's assurance, Shimizu Ryuta slowly spoke.

About half a month ago, by chance, I overheard the conversation between Xingcai's mother and her daughter-in-law.

"...Xingcai's mother told your mother that the more than 700,000 yuan she had stored in the closet at home for emergencies over the years had suddenly lost 100,000 yuan for no apparent reason.

She pretended not to know, and after a while, another 100,000 yuan was missing.

You know, there are only two people living in Yanaijian’s house, the couple and a little one, Xingcai.”

That’s enough for now.

Qingshuichuan can figure out the rest himself.

It can't be a thief. If a thief found your money, he would definitely take it all away.

It is unlikely to be apricots. This little foodie usually spends the most money on eating all kinds of delicious food.

And in this regard, the Shimizu family can be said to have completely satisfied her.

He would always call her over to eat meat, snacks, big crabs, and seasonal sweet fruits...

To sum up, she had no need to spend so much money, so what did she do with the total of 200,000?

There's nowhere to spend the money.

So in the end, there is only one possible outcome...

Xingcai's father.

Perhaps he had other shady uses for the money, so he took it secretly without telling his wife.

And considering Xingcai's father's past misdeeds...

The answer seems obvious.

"Xingcai's mother said she would continue to feign ignorance, but would at most give Xingcai's father one last chance. If there was even one more chance...

Then, perhaps the relationship between them as a couple will really come to an end."

Ryuta Shimizu is really not the kind of gossipy old man.

It was only because he heard the voices in the living room talking about Xiao Xingcai, whom he cared about, that he stopped and listened for a while longer.

After hearing this, Qingshuichuan remained silent.

No matter how good his relationship with Xingcai was, he had no way to deal with matters involving other people's families.

It is difficult for a fair judge to judge family affairs.

If you really want to get involved, you have to get involved yourself.

But this is obviously unlikely.

"Okay, don't think too much about it. Xiao Xingcai is already in the third grade now. She's a big kid after all. I believe that no matter what happens, she will be sensible.

Besides, if something does happen, I will be there to cover her up."

After all, she hadn't called him "Grandpa" for nothing for all these years. He wasn't her biological son, but the feelings between them were very deep.

"Sorry grandpa..."

Ryuta Shimizu was amused by his grandson.

"Why are you apologizing? This wasn't your fault."

"..."

Qingshuichuan didn't know why he couldn't help but apologize.

He stared at the water in front of him.

Yana saw the happy and carefree smile on Xingna's face when she was with him for so many years, and scenes of warm or funny memory stickers flashed through his mind continuously.

long silence.

Qingshuichuan stood up,

"Grandpa, I'm sorry. Please drive slowly when you go back alone later."

"Are you going to pick up Xiao Xingcai from school?"

Ryuta Shimizu could guess it by looking at his grandson's expression.

"Ok!"

After Qingshuichuan answered, he turned and walked towards the bus stop on the main road.

Ryuta Shimizu sighed again with regret.

He really likes the girl Yanami Anna, and he really hopes that she can truly become a member of the Shimizu family.

But what can we do? The flowers have feelings but the water is heartless.

But it’s okay, at least her grandson still cares about her.

I hope this kind of relationship can continue in the future.

Shortly after Shimizukawa left, Shimizu Ryuta slowly stood up and began to pack up.

Now that my grandson is gone, it’s boring to fish alone with no one to talk to.

Finally, when he was about to pick up the two buckets.

Shimizu Ryuta thought about it and poured half of the fish in his grandson's bucket to himself.

After that, he smiled with satisfaction, closed the lid, and put it in the trunk.

----

After Qingshuichuan took the bus to the street, he took a taxi directly to the gate of the junior high school.

Yanami Kyouna goes to school here, and this was also the campus he attended.

Now, after such a long time, I am revisiting the old place again, and I feel quite strange.

Qingshuichuan took out his cell phone and looked at it. There were still five minutes left before the get out of class was over.

He arrived at just the right time.

I turned around and went to the convenience store at the school gate to buy a large bag of potato chips and orange juice.

After returning, he stood under the most conspicuous cherry tree at the school gate waiting for Yana to see Anna finish school.

Soon the school bell rang.

Shimizukawa knew that Yanami Anna didn't join any club, so he waited here patiently.

After hearing what his grandfather just said, he didn't know why he didn't want to contact her anymore, so he wanted to give her a surprise silently.

Um...referring to her favorite original large potato chips and orange flavored drink.

If she wants, there might even be a high-quality seafood buffet in the evening.

He waited for a while, and students came out of the school gate intermittently.

Instead of waiting for Yana to meet Xingna, he met a few other little girls who knew him.

"Is that Qingshui-senpai?"

"What are you talking about? I finished long ago... Uwa! It's really Shimizu-senpai!"

"Long time no see, Shimizu-senpai...!"

Unlike in Tokyo, Shimizukawa was once a well-known figure who was quite popular among girls in the school in his hometown.

After all, the students in this school are all from nearby and know that his family is rich.

In addition, he was quite fond of showing off at that time, was a good student, and had strong athletic nerves. He also had his own little fans and fan club.

Shimizukawa put on a perfunctory smile and answered the excited schoolmates' questions about some situations in Tokyo.

However, during this process, his eyes were always fixed on the direction of the school gate.

Finally, his eyes lit up and he saw Yanami Kyouna.

He quickly said goodbye to the little girls in front of him and walked towards her.

But after taking two steps, he stopped again.

He saw a boy catching up with her from behind and walking side by side with her.

Qingshuichuan couldn't explain what he was feeling at the moment.

Jealousy...hostility...isn't exactly accurate.

But something just doesn't feel right.

But soon his emotions disappeared.

Because he saw that Yanami Kyouna's face showed an expression of obvious displeasure but helpless annoyance.

"Apricot sauce~"

At this time, Qingshuichuan smiled again, waved his hand, and walked over while calling his childhood sweetheart's name in a tone that was ten times more disgusting than usual.

Yana saw that Kyouna's impatient expression disappeared immediately after hearing the familiar voice.

She didn't care about the boy following her, and ran straight towards Qingshuichuan, surprised and happy.

"Chuan, why did you come to pick me up?"

"Of course it's because I missed you."

Qingshuichuan touched her soft hair and looked past her at the boy not far away.

The moment the boy met his gaze, he quickly lowered his head and walked away to the other side.

"I'm not a kid, don't touch my head at the school gate."

The gazes of the surrounding students looking over here made Yana feel shy but also enjoyed it.

Qingshuichuan said with a smile,

"I can't help it. You look several times cuter today than usual."

Yana saw Xingna staring at Shimizu River, and her blushing face suddenly turned around the next moment.

She saw the boy who had just been harassing her walk away quickly and then quickly turn around.

When she looked at Qingshuichuan again, her eyes narrowed and her face was completely replaced with an ambiguous smile that seemed to show that she understood everything.

Volume 31: Chapter : Xingcai's Insight (Four in One) ()

"Oh yeah~ Oh yeah~"

Yanami saw Kyona poking Shimizukawa's abdomen with her fingertips.

Her expression changed several times, and now she looked like a little fox who had succeeded in stealing something and escaped successfully.

It was obvious from her glance and smile that she was secretly happy and proud.

"I guess I saw it right just now, Chuan, are you... concerned about me?"

Qingshuichuan looked at her as if she was an idiot.

"What do you think? We have known each other for so many years."

"You know that's not what I meant!"

"Oh, come on, eat some chips."

Qingshuichuan nodded perfunctorily, and with a smile, he opened the bag of snacks he had just bought and handed it over.

"Who wants to eat potato chips?! Don't think you can just get away with it. Chuan, you clearly showed hostility towards that boy just now. It was very obvious! Don't try to deny it!"

Yana saw that although Xingna said no, her body was still very honest.

Don’t worry about whether you want to eat it now or not, just take the snacks and hold them in your hands first.

"What are you denying? I just looked at that boy a few more times out of curiosity. After all, besides me, you didn't seem to have any other male friends before."
