Give weak women a heart of steel

Chapter 107 The child who was suffocated by his parents [Please subscribe]

Xia Tingfei's words just now were also heartbreaking.

But, at least it is acceptable to ordinary people.

Hinazuki Kana thought so in her heart, leaning on the wooden railing and looking at the stream in the distance.

Although it is winter, the weather in Qingchuan is much better than that in Qianzhu.

At noon, the sun is at its strongest.

The sparkling water of the stream is reflected on the riverbanks on both sides, refracting the magnificent and enchanting brilliance like a ten thousand mirror.

The wind that was not cold blew here from the other end of the river, causing ripples on the river surface.

That strange brilliance, which was like a thousand-flower mirror, also shattered into pieces.

The girl pinched the tip of her flaxen hair and looked at Xia Tingfei beside her.

Nice to meet you.

Hinazuki Kana thought so in her heart, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Have you prepared any gifts for Christmas?"

The girl looked at Xia Tingfei next to her and blinked.

"It's only December 23st, and there are still [-] days before Christmas Eve." Xia Tingfei reminded.

How is it possible to prepare gifts at such an early hour?

"I'm ready."

Hinazuki Kana blinked: "I will prepare apples."

"And you have to prepare cherries." The girl flipped her hair: "At that time, I will have a long hair."

"it is good."

Xia Tingfei didn't care too much, cherries shouldn't be too expensive.

If Hinazuki Kana wants it, Xia Tingfei will not be too stingy.

"It won't be a cherry, this will be a surprise."

"It's also a promise I made."

Hinazuki Kana thought about Xia Tingfei's surprised face when the time came.

She just couldn't help but laugh.

"what happened?"

"Nothing~"

Hinazuki Kana looked at the gorgeous red sun and felt as if she was reborn.

Perhaps because they were too eager, Sister Nishimiya Liuli came back soon.

Nishimiya Ruri was holding a paper bag with a baguette in it.

On the brown-yellow exterior, a few cracks opened at the top, revealing the soft white mesh-like interior, with wisps of hot air coming out of it.

Nishimiya Yuko followed, fiddling with the camera in her hand.

It looks like a suitable photo was taken.

Nishimiya Ruri broke the baguette in her hand into several sections and handed it to others.

"Thank you." Hinazuki Kana smiled at Nishinomiya Ruri, but Xia Tingfei refused directly.

He spoke at a speed that Nishimiya Ruri could hear clearly: "I don't need this."

Nishinomiya Liuli looked a little disappointed.

However, he still smiled very gently.

Hinazuki Kana and Nishimiya Ruri were feeding the fish, holding down a piece of bread with their slender fingers and throwing it into the water.

The koi fish inside swam over quickly, opening their round mouths and swallowing the soft pieces of bread.

Whenever Nishimiya Ruri dropped food, she looked at the swimming koi.

There is always that sweet smile on his face.

But it's definitely not a defensive, gentle smile, but a genuine smile.

Anyone can see that this apricot-pink girl is very happy.

Nishimiya Yuko took a picture of Nishimiya Ruri's smile and fiddled with the camera.

She leaned next to Xia Tingfei: "Thank you, Senior Xia Tingfei."

The dark-haired girl thanked her sincerely.

She had never seen her sister smile like this.

"why?"

Xia Tingfei looked into Nishimiya Yuko's eyes: "I just made a random suggestion, so do I have to thank you?"

"····"

Nishimiya Yuko was a little stunned.

"As expected, Senior Xia Ting is a little strange."

Nishimiya Yuko touched her bangs: "No matter what, Senior Xia Ting always helped Sister Liuli. Therefore, I must be grateful."

"Oh"

After Nishinomiya Liuli finished feeding the bread in his hand, the koi were still swimming there.

She was obviously a little disappointed.

"Sister, let's buy some more bread."

Nishimiya Yuko suggested this.

She didn't want to disappoint her sister.

She wanted to extend this time a little longer.

"It's time to go home."

Xia Tingfei interrupted the interaction between the two. He did not wait for the two to answer, but walked straight towards home.

"Normal people, as long as they feel the atmosphere just now, should wait for a while."

Nishimiya Yuko wanted to sigh, but she held her forehead and remained silent.

Nishinomiya Liuli was a little disappointed.

But it's just loss, not sadness.

It's really time to go home at this time.

"Come again tomorrow."

Nishimiya Yuko said it with sign language.

Nishimiya Liuli smiled and nodded.

"Fortunately, fortunately, my sister is not sad."

Nishimiya Yuko was so happy.

She seemed to be putting herself in the position of her sister.

Think of Nishimiya Ruri as a child who needs to be taken care of, as a piece of fragile porcelain.

Be careful not to let her have any bumps.

Just the slightest touch from others would make her on tenterhooks.

However, Nishimiya Ruri is a human being first.

Rather than a piece of porcelain.

Xia Tingfei saw all this clearly.

Nishimiya Yuko's behavior will only make Nishimiya Ruri more troubled to a certain extent.

It will also make her feel more guilty.

However, Xia Tingfei did not remind her or correct her.

Not only is Nishimiya Ruri's sister, Nishimiya Yuko has enough reasons to do this.

It was even more because Nishimiya Liuli had two options in front of him.

One is to throw away the burden and live an ordinary life like ordinary people.

The other is to embrace the burden and transform into a butterfly under the pressure.

"I won't help you make a choice, I will only prevent you from being crushed to death under the burden."

"Should I throw it away, or should I embrace it?"

"All of this is something only you can choose."

"Because this is your life."

Xia Tingfei looked at Xi Gong Liuli's thin back, and Xi Gong Liuli felt the sight.

She turned her head and smiled gently at Xia Tingfei.

Like traditional Yamato Nadeshiko.

After everyone left, Tsurumi Qianna finally ran out after school. She stood on the Water Gate Bridge and looked at the round-bellied koi carp in the stream, and couldn't help but feel extremely disappointed.

"They have indeed left."

Tsurumi Qianna was lying on the railing, thinking about what happened before.

She was not angry at Xia Tingfei's previous words.

Because of Xia Tingfei's answer of putting aside the relationship, she could continue to maintain a false friendship with those girls.

Rather than becoming a lonely person.

However, her eyes were red.

His body slid down involuntarily, squatting down and hugging his legs tightly.

That environment and atmosphere were unbearable for her.

too painful.

However, he had to continue to stay.

drip, drip, drip

The phone in my backpack vibrated.

Tsurumi Qianna looked sideways at the backpack and stretched out her hand to touch it, but she curled her fingers in fear.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

The vibration sound kept ringing.

Tsurumi Qianna bit her lip, reached out and took out the mobile phone.

A pink smartphone, very ordinary, just like most girls' mobile phones.

[How are you getting along with your friends today? 】

[Are you going to play at a friend’s house today? 】

[Are you going to come back at night today? 】

【Today, I want to get along with good friends. 】

[Look, as long as you work hard and work hard, you will definitely be able to make friends. 】

【Qianna?Qianna? 】

[Didn’t you see the mobile phone? 】

【···】

A series of messages were sent non-stop, making the phone buzz.

Tsurumi Qianna almost suffocated. She trembled and said: "I'm going to play with my friends today. I'll come back later." 】

[You said the same thing before! 】

[Can’t you reply to your mother’s message sooner? 】【Do you know how hard it is for a mother? 】

····
The news kept buzzing, but the girl didn't take another look.

Throwing her cell phone into her backpack, she swayed with her backpack and didn't know where she was going.

Friends, nothing like that.

So, the girl just wandered the streets.

The beautiful sunset stretched her shadow into a single number 1.
-
Xia Tingfei and others also parted in front of their home.

Because Nishimiya's mother still had to get off work, she didn't start cooking yet.

It’s not that girls can’t do it.

As the second daughter of the family, Nishimiya Yuko has to shoulder the responsibility of the entire family.

Take care of your sister, take care of your grandma.

Although the biggest financial pressure was solved by her mother, the advance corresponded to family pressure.

It’s all Nishimiya Yuko’s responsibility.

With so much pressure on her, how could Nishimiya Yuko not know how to cook?

It's just that Nishinomiya's mother invited Xia Tingfei and the others to have dinner together.

So today's dinner will definitely be richer.

And all these can only be left to Nishimiya's mother.

As for Grandma Nishimiya, although her body is still strong, she can't do too heavy a job.

Nishimiya Yuko sat at the table, played with the camera, and showed it to her grandma: "Grandma, look. Sister Liuli smiled today."

"That's really a good photo." Grandma Nishimiya smiled kindly.

This was originally just a common and perfunctory compliment from elders to younger ones, but after she saw the photo, she couldn't help but open her eyes in surprise.

In the photo, warm light falls on the girl's shoulders and cheeks from the gaps between the leaves.

The girl with pink and apricot hair has a beautiful smile.

Tilting his head sideways, Amber's eyes curved into crescent moons.

He was still holding a bag of bread tightly in his hands.

If you don’t know her well, you will definitely be attracted by this girl’s sincere smile from the inside out.

"Oh, oh. It's really incredible. Liuli actually laughed so happily." Grandma Nishimiya looked at the photo: "Did Yuko do something today?"

"no."

Yuko shook his head, his short hair swaying.

"It's Senior Xia Ting!"

Yuuko said loudly to her grandma: "It was Senior Xia Ting who made Sister Liuli smile like this."

"It was him."

Grandma Nishimiya thought about what that boy looked like when she first saw him.

He is as tough as a stone. Although he is very polite, he is not a eloquent person.

She really couldn't imagine that he would be the kind of guy who made girls laugh.

"It's really amazing. Then when we have dinner, we have to thank him properly."

Grandma Nishimiya said: "Where is Liuli?"

"Sister Liuli is in the room." Yuko Nishimiya said, "As soon as she came back, she entered the room."

"Grandma, is there still perilla juice?" the girl asked, "I'll go get a cup for my sister."

"There's also a big pot of it in the refrigerator."

"Then I'm going, grandma."

Nishimiya Yuko said this, found a tray, and slowly walked upstairs with two cups of purple perilla juice.

Nishimiya Ruri was looking for something on the computer.

"This is my sister's first time taking the initiative to touch a computer."

Nishimiya Yuko thought so and put the perilla juice aside.

"Sister, what are you looking for?"

She made sign language with her fingers and spoke word by word.

【bakery. 】

Nishimiya Ruri answered in sign language, and the search results for bakery were indeed displayed on the computer screen.

However, none are local.

[Sister, let me help you. 】

Nishimiya Yuko took over the keyboard and added local restrictive words on it, so that the surrounding bakeries would be displayed.

Nishimiya Liuli's face was full of joy. She looked at the messages above, clicked on them one by one, and compared the comments above.

Nishimiya Yuko sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her sister's happy look.

She was also very happy.

They waited until Nishimiya's mother came back before the two girls went downstairs.

Nishimiya's mother was wearing trousers and a shirt, with a sleeveless turtleneck sweater over it.

His face was full of exhaustion, but he was still preparing the food.

"Mom, let me help you."

Nishimiya Yuko washed her hands and prepared to help her mother, who came back from get off work, to lighten some of the burden.

Nishimiya Liuli watched, also preparing to wash her hands and do her best.

"Liuli, go take care of grandma." Nishimiya's mother said tiredly.

Yuko also gestured to her sister.

The girl showed that kind of helpless yet gentle smile.

She sat next to her grandma and looked at her sister who was busy in the kitchen.

Can't help being a little envious.

Grandma Nishimiya patted Nishimiya Ruri's palm and smiled kindly at Nishimiya Ruri's.

In order not to disappoint his grandmother.

Nishimiya Ruri showed her gentlest smile.

It was not until eight or nine o'clock that Nishimiya's mother finally prepared dinner.

"I'll invite them."

Nishimiya Yuko took the initiative to stand up and invite Hinazuki Kana and Xia Tingfei.

Nishimiya Ruri also stood up hurriedly and followed Nishimiya Yuko.

She also wants to do what she can.

The two of them were getting ready to go out, but outside the door, Xia Tingfei and the others were already waiting with gifts.

The few people exchanged pleasantries again before finally sitting at the dining table.

Today's dinner was very sumptuous, including roast beef, fried fish, fried chicken nuggets, and tofu pot.

There are also several plates of vegetables and a pot of soup.

This is the best the Nishimiya family can do.

After all, the Nishimiya family's entire financial resources depend on her mother.

And the part that requires money is quite a lot.

Nishimiya Ruri's hearing aid, and Nishimiya Yuko's camera, plus Nishimiya's grandma also needs to see a doctor.

The two children still have to go to school.

Such a heavy burden was placed on Nishimiya's mother, so it was great that she didn't collapse.

At the dinner table, although Nishimiya’s mother wanted to say something.

This is what she should do, after all, she was the one who invited the two of them to her home for dinner.

But the pressure of work and life made her extremely tired and lost her desire to speak.

Another reason is because Nishimiya Liuli can't hear it.

Therefore, they generally do not talk at the dinner table.

Xia Tingfei himself was not a man who took the initiative to chat, so the atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit dull.

Nishimiya Yuko tried her best to improve the atmosphere.

However, there is still some powerlessness.

"That's right." Nishimiya Yuko remembered something, took the camera over, and then put it in front of her mother: "Mom, look at Sister Liuli's smile."

Nishimiya Yaeko looked at Nishimiya Ruri's happy smile in the camera with tired eyes.

She was in a daze for a moment, and she reached out to touch the smile on the screen.

But soon he was curling his fingers.

Such a happy and smiling girl reminded her of herself.

Back then, she had laughed so happily.

But today, she couldn't laugh at all.

He touched the corners of his mouth and the wrinkles around his eyes.

She finally spoke: "Thank you, Mr. Xia Ting."

"I should be grateful." Xia Tingfei responded politely: "Thanks to Grandma Nishinomiya's help in introducing business, we can survive."

"This is all your own ability, Mr. Xia Ting." Grandma Nishimiya said kindly: "Those old men and women in Morikawa usually entrust cats to others, but you are the fastest. It is your efforts that win the victory. gained their favor.”

"So that's it." Nishimiya Yaeko suddenly realized.

Looking at Hinazuki Kana, she also learned about Hinazuki Kana from her daughter.

This was also the reason why she invited Xia Tingfei to dinner.

"I don't know, what does Xia Tingjun think of Liuli?" Nishimiya Yaeko looked at his daughter.

Nishimiya Yuko subconsciously relaxed her movements. Nishimiya Ruri seemed to have noticed something. She looked at everyone and then at her sister.

【What's wrong? 】

She made this gesture.

【nothing. 】

Nishimiya Yuko covered it up subconsciously and smiled at Nishimiya Ruri as usual.

Nishimiya Ruri could only show the gentle smile from before.

"My opinion of Nishinomiya Liuli is not important." Xia Tingfei looked at Nishinomiya Yaezi: "For Nishinomiya Liuli, I am just an outsider."

"Me." Nishimiya Yaeko said, "You know, Nishimiya has her ears."

A bitter but helpless smile appeared on Yaezi's face: "If possible, I hope she can become strong."

"As strong as that Miss Hinazuki."

Yaeko's face showed a strong look again: "In this way, even if she is looked at with a strange eye, she can still hold on well."

"I want them to be strong, that's why I want to give them boyish haircuts, and that's why I refuse to let Liuli go to a special school."

"But, I seem to have failed."

"So, can I ask you to help me?" Yaeko Nishimiya had a solemn expression on her face.

　A little later, there will be another five thousand.
