July 20, Saturday.
The night after the tryout.
Xia Chuanzhen couldn't stand Hashimoto Lingling's coquettishness and was dragged to the hotel suite where she had lived for a long time.
Now.
In front of the TV in the living room, Xia Chuan was sitting on the sofa sincerely.
Not far away is Naoji Hashimoto in a wheelchair.
He was watching today's evening news, and Xia Chuan was sincerely watching it with him. Although he was not very interested in it, watching it could relieve his fatigue.
Naoji Hashimoto picked up the tea cup on the coffee table and took a sip. He looked at Natsukawa sincerely and raised the topic:
"The way you look now is the same as you have been for more than 20 years." It was the same as me when I met Lingling’s mother and parents for the first time before.”
Xia Chuan took a sincere breath, was his difference so obvious?
This doesn’t look like me...
Naoji Hashimoto smiled, "Relax, just treat me like an ordinary uncle and chat."
"Okay uncle." Xia Chuan nodded sincerely.
He glanced in the direction of the kitchen.
Hashimoto Lingling was preparing dinner with Aunt Harina inside.
I wonder what the mother and daughter will talk about?
In the kitchen.
Hashimoto Lingling squatted down and took the bowl from the cupboard.
"I'll do it." Hashimoto Harina saw that she wanted to help, but as expected the next moment, she was indifferently rejected.
"No, I'll do it myself."
After saying this, Hashimoto Lingling shut up and didn't even look at her, just minding her own business. of soup.
It seemed that she had no intention of talking to Hina Hashimoto.
In fact, if it were not for the agreement that day, let Xia Chuan sincerely taste her craftsmanship.
She would not stay in the same kitchen as Hina Hashimoto.
Hashimoto Haruna smiled helplessly and continued to work on her own.
She has long been used to this situation.
In the living room.
Xia Chuan sincerely looked away, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip to moisten his throat.
The topic just now was opened by Naoji Hashimoto.
Then it's your turn now.
After taking a deep breath, his deep eyes flashed, and he spoke in a relieved tone:
"Uncle, can I ask you a question? I hope you can answer it truthfully." < /p>
Naoji Hashimoto still had the same smile as before, nodded slightly, and said:
"Of course, what is it?"
"Why...why do you want to To hurt Lingling like that?"
Xia Chuan's sincere tone was extremely sincere.Set, this sentence fell into the heart of Hashimoto Naoji.
The consistent smile on his face disintegrated in an instant, as if it had been violently torn apart.
"Haha, what's wrong? Why do you say that suddenly?" Naoji Hashimoto said patiently.
There was no sign of restraint on Xia Chuan's sincere face. He continued to say word by word:
"You actually know that, right?"
" ...What do you know?”
Are you still pretending to be stupid?
Maybe he is really stupid.
Xia Chuan stared at him sincerely and expressionlessly, staring at the fake smile that had been disguised so far.
"I have seen photos of Lingling's mother, and I have to say that Aunt Yangcai really looks like her."
"But no matter how similar they look, they are not her. No. "?"
When he said this, Xia Chuan's sincere hands clenched unconsciously, and his heart ached.
Immediately, he suppressed the pain in his heart and complained strongly to Naoji Hashimoto:
"You kept a person like Lingling's mother by your side, by Lingling's side. "
"For you, Aunt Yangcai may bring you spiritual comfort, but is it short-lived? After all, she is not the person you want to see. "You can bear the emptiness."
"But have you ever thought that Lingling can bear it? In the long run, wouldn't this be another disguised harm to her?"
"You actually know it very well, right? But you still did it in the end..."
"..."
After a while of silence.
The kitchen door opened.
Hashimoto Lingling staggered out carrying bowls and chopsticks for four people.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
Xia Chuan sincerely saw it and walked over to help.
When passing by Naoji Hashimoto, he said a few words.
"Lingling will fall before the finish line today, and your appearance plays a big role."
"If you don't think so, you can try it later when you eat Give some food to Aunt Harina and see how Lingling reacts."
After he left, Hashimoto Naoji's body trembled visibly.
Gudong...
What are you doing?
Just now, I was trying to persuade him not to be nervous, but now he is the one who is nervous?
What kind of person is this child?
He turned around and looked at Xia Chuan sincerely.
"Leave these to me, Lingling. Your legs are still injured, so sit down first."
"Eh? Wait, I can say..."
On a square dining table.
Before Hashimoto Lingling could refuse, Xia Chuanzhen used his gentle but domineering way to forcefully take over the task of serving dishes.
He gently pressed her down on the chair and sat down, causing her to complain but attack with happy eyes.
Xia Chuan smiled sincerely, and then walked into the kitchen.
"Aunt Yangcai, is there anything I can do to help?"
"Ah, it's Xiao Cheng. You are interested, but I'm done, let's go eat. "
Hinamoto Hina was a little surprised. The more she saw Natsukawa's sincerity, the more satisfied she became.
Is this what it feels like to be a mother?
After the placement was almost complete, Hashimoto Lingling pushed Hashimoto Naoji over.
It’s time to officially start eating.
Everyone clasped their hands together and said in unison:
"I'm starting."
Hashimoto Lingling took two pieces of ribs to Hashimoto Naoharu and Natsukawa. Sincere bowl.
I skipped Hina Hashimoto’s stepmother.
"I made this, is it delicious?"
Xia Chuan sincerely finished the meal in one bite and praised: "It's delicious!"
Naoji Hashimoto also took a bite, followed by words of praise.
But then, he noticed the slightly lonely expression of his wife, Hina Hashimoto.
I couldn’t help but think of what Xia Chuanzhen said not long ago.
If you don’t think so, you can try to bring some food to Aunt Yangcai when you eat later and see how Lingling reacts, right?
After a fierce struggle in my heart.
First he served his daughter some food.
"Thank you, Dad." Hashimoto Lingling smiled at him.
He also smiled.
Then he picked up another dish with his chopsticks, and during the process of passing it on, Xia Chuanzhen kept staring at him.
When the dish falls into Hashimoto Harina’s bowl accurately.
She also smiled happily.
"Thank you, husband."
"You're welcome."
Naoji Hashimoto glanced at Hashimoto Lingling's expression without trace.
As Xia Chuan said sincerely, this is indeed a kind of harm.
Although Hashimoto Lingling pretended not to care on the surface, in fact, she deliberately did not look at it. She was eating with rice in her hands and not picking up vegetables. Her performance had already betrayed her.
I'm sorry Lingling...
Dad also has his own reasons.
I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I won't be able to survive after losing Quan Nai.
A hand hidden under the dining table of Naoji Hashimoto was clenched into a fist.
"Lingling, would you like to try what mom made?"
At this time, Hinamoto Hina took the eggplant she made and brought it to Hashimoto Lingling's bowl, and stopped.
Hashimoto Lingling didn’t say anything, just minding her own business.
It was obviously a silent rejection.
Hashimoto Haruna could only take it back silently and eat it herself.
Xia Chuan sincerely took in all this, and the darkness in his eyes became deeper and deeper.
