Chapter 312 if5
Chiyoda.

At the Hatsugano family, it's dinner time.

Hatsugano Heizo, who had just returned from abroad, prepared a table of delicious food for his daughter to eat when she came home.

The hot dishes were just placed on the table a short while ago.

The door opened softly.

"came back?"

Chu Ganohei hid in the kitchen, washed his hands, dried them with a blower, and came out.

"Ah."

Hatsukano Suzune nodded, hooked off the heel of her shoe with her fingers, and changed her shoes neatly, "I'm back."

"Then wash your hands and eat." The taciturn old father pointed to the dining table, but in fact he still wanted to hear his daughter praise him.

"Yeah, okay, thanks Dad." Hatsukano Suzune walked into the house and put her handbag away.

Although the father and daughter were usually silent, Hatsukanohiro Heizo could still detect that his daughter's mood was a little strange.

After all, those beautiful blue eyes were not good at hiding their thoughts, just like her simple and innocent mother.

My daughter is more like a robot than ever before, or rather, more like myself.

Since the two of them rarely communicated, the information in Chu Kanohei's mind was still stuck on their last meeting.

He clearly remembered that during that period his daughter's personality became more and more like that of his wife who had passed away many years ago, and she was full of energy and vitality.

What's happening now?
Did something bad happen in school?
Heizo Kanono really wanted to ask, but he didn't know how to start.

While eating, both of them were silent, as if there was a gloomy cloud surrounding them, and they just ate for the sake of eating.

Heizo Hatsukanosuke sat across the table, looking up at his daughter from time to time, trying to guess what she was really thinking.

Unfortunately, this social elite can compete with many competitors in business negotiations, but is helpless in family conversations.

"I'm full. Leave the bowl here for now and I'll wash it later." Hatsukano Suzune put down her chopsticks, stood up and was about to go back to her room.

"That's right, Dad."

After walking a few steps, she stopped and looked back as if she had thought of something.

"Eh, what?" Hatsuno Heizo looked up.

"Today's meal is rich and delicious. Thank you for the hospitality." Hatsukano Suzune tilted her head slightly, and a dazzling smile bloomed on her delicate little face.

Just looking at her, one can imagine the cherry blossoms blooming outside.

But it was precisely because of this that Heizo Hatsukanosuke became even more convinced that he must say something.

"Ring tone."

Before Hatsukano Suzune returned to her room, Heizo called her, put down his chopsticks, and guessed intuitively, "Did you have a conflict with Natsume?"

Although he once said that he would not interfere in the affairs of young people, now he really couldn't bear to see his daughter being depressed.

At least……

Don't be like yourself, be like her mother.

"Nothing, we are fine..."

Hatsukano Suzune shook her head gently, and her soft long hair fluttered like blue waves.

Her denial came faster than she turned back.

Chuan Ye Suzune vaguely felt that this answer was not the first time she had said it.

"Is that something else?"

The usually serious Hatsugano Heizo showed a rare look of dismay on his face.

Did you guess wrong?
"..."

Hatsukano Suzune turned around again, looked into her father's eyes without saying a word.

She was a little hesitant.

Speaking of which, recent events are really similar to those many years ago.

My mother was ill and bedridden, and my father followed my mother's wishes and kept her childhood a secret.

Therefore, Suzune Hatsukano did not see her mother for the last time until she died.

Until the big family funeral, when the news of the death could no longer be hidden, her father still told the young and ignorant girl that her mother had just gone to a very far place.

But no one around was smiling, and some even had tears in their eyes.

Sad atmosphere, white flowers.

She just realized that this was definitely not a serious game of hide-and-seek.

It was the funeral where her mother was hiding inside while she stood outside.

Everyone is lying to her!
From servants to housekeepers, from father to mother, everyone lied to her.

And the reason is simply "for her sake".

I wish I could hear everyone's voice.

That way they can no longer deceive themselves.

Then no one in this world can deceive themselves anymore!
It's too late, but it's soon.

While she was full of thoughts, the funeral proceeded to the point where relatives knelt down to bid farewell.

My father has knelt down.

But under the gaze of everyone, she was reluctant to salute.

Her father didn't urge her, probably because he thought she hadn't accepted the reality yet.

But the people around her started to talk about her. Some said she was too young and too naive, and some said she didn't know etiquette...

At the sad yet solemn funeral, people's voices became louder and louder.

Who on earth doesn't know etiquette?!
She really wanted to yell out loud like that, but when she looked around...

She suddenly realized that everyone's lips were tightly closed and no one was talking at all.

But those chirping bird-like sounds still echoed around her.

Close at hand.

Come to think of it, with her father present, who would dare to scold her to her face?

and so……

She thought she must be out of her mind.

She's going crazy.

Those voices came majestically, like the whispers of an ancient god.

She suddenly let go of her father's hand and fled from the funeral without looking back.

The guests at the funeral turned their heads to look at her. Even her father, who had already knelt down, noticed something was wrong and turned back to look at her.

But none of them caught up.

Perhaps, God understood her feelings.

It also became melancholy, spewing out cold rain.

Pedestrians on the street hid outside the rain, and she hid in the children's park where she once played.

Until the swing began to squeak, like a dry skeleton playing a melancholy violin.

She suddenly noticed that the voices that had just surrounded her head no longer existed.

Thinking carefully about the sound of running on the street just now, she quickly determined.

It turns out that it wasn't her brain that was broken.

But perhaps God sympathized with her and really gave her the ability to hear other people's voices.

She held the swing tightly with both hands and looked up, letting the cold rain run across her cheeks.

Thinking that no one in this world will deceive me anymore.

As she grew up, one day, by chance.

Uncle John told her over tea.

That day, in order to protect her, he had actually been following her closely, so it was no coincidence that he suddenly came over with an umbrella.

However, he didn't rush over because Mr. Heizo said to give her some time to calm down.

After learning the truth, Suzune Hatsukano drank her tea and thought about how stupid she was at that time.

At that time, she thought she was running too fast and they couldn't catch up with her.

But think about it carefully.

Apart from time, who could outrun the top cars of the time on the road?
At this point, Hatsukano Suzune understood more and more why Natsume Kiyohame didn't want to pay attention to her recently.

I have clearly experienced that feeling, so why do I still make this mistake?
Going back to reality.

Although Suzune Hatsukano had been fascinated by her for a long time, but for Heizo Hatsukano.

Silence. It was a normal thing that happened between them as father and daughter.

But we can’t go on like this…

"I know it's a bit sudden to ask these questions. After all... from childhood to adulthood, I haven't asked about your affairs for so many years, but now I suddenly care about you again."

Hatsuno Heizo looked away, frowned, and said seriously, "But... I understand now that it's not right. I can't let you do nothing just because you're excellent, and I can't ignore family matters just because I'm not good at speaking."

"I can understand that as a person grows up, he or she will need a little privacy. Dad respects any choice you make and will not interfere too much with your daily life. But...but..."

Hatsuno Heizo gritted his teeth, looked into his daughter's eyes again, and suddenly slowed down his tone and said, "Sometimes I still hope that you can tell me about your recent events, whether they are happy or sad..."

"besides……"

At this point, Hatsukano Heizo lowered his head in shame, lowered his eyes and stared at the floor, "Regarding that incident many years ago, I want to apologize to you. I shouldn't have hidden your mother's affairs from you."

The usually taciturn man suddenly spoke a lot, as if he was venting out everything in his heart.

After listening to all this quietly, Hatsukano Suzune's vision became blurred without her noticing.

The tears trembled slightly, like morning dew quietly sliding down from the petals, leaving only a hint of coolness on her fair face.

In just one day, she listened to the "voices" of two parents at the same time.

Now she just felt a tightness in her chest and it was hard to breathe. She hadn't felt so uncomfortable in a long time.

The tears fell uncontrollably at an accelerated rate, outlining her profile, gathering at her tiny chin, and then turning into tiny crystal pearls that fell down.

She bit her rosy lips tightly and cried silently.

"Ring tone?"

Hatsugano Heizo noticed the splashes of water on the floor and suddenly looked up.

Except for the day his daughter was born and her mother died, Hatsugano Heizo had never seen this scene again.

In his eyes, his daughter has always been an extremely strong child.

Ever since she first learned to walk and did not cry when she fell but got up on her own, Chu Kanoheizo concluded that she would be able to achieve great things like him in the future and would be in no way inferior to outstanding men.

This is indeed the case. Ever since Lingyin could remember, she has shown amazing talents in various fields.

But now, when the person who usually seems cold and even a little arrogant like himself is crying.

He suddenly realized...

His philosophy is wrong.

Lingyin doesn't necessarily have to be what people call a 'heroine'. She should also have the right to cry like an ordinary girl.

Every child’s character, thoughts and future should not be defined by adults.

To put it bluntly, children are just the product of one-time behavior of adults.

In a sense, their coming into this world was simple and easy.

Then they should also live simply according to their own characteristics.

But he was invisibly giving her the message "You must continue to excel".

The evidence is...

Without any reminder from him, Suzune Hatsukano sought a teacher to learn finance on her own.

Although they rarely communicated with each other, the daughter still wanted to take on the responsibility of the family.

Sensible children always make people feel distressed. Is this what it means?
At this moment, Heizo Kanono finished his internal review.

He quickly stood up, left the table, and hugged his own flesh and blood tightly in his arms.

This was a hug they hadn't had in almost ten years, and it looked so warm.

“…Daddy, did I say something wrong? Stop crying, okay? It’s all daddy’s fault…You don’t need to forgive daddy…Daddy is really reflecting on himself again, just cry if you want to, daddy will tell everyone…” Hatsukano Heizo patted his daughter’s back gently as if he was coaxing her to sleep in her cradle, and comforted her in a clumsy way.

Poor comfort is just poor comfort.

The sweet girl buried herself in his arms, obviously not wanting to cry too loudly.

Because girls look ugly when they cry.

If a girl becomes too ugly, no one will like her.

There is no choice...

Warm mist can cover anything clear.

Even the entire Chiyoda seemed to become hazy.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, it suddenly started to rain.

Tears rained down.

Finally, Suzune Hatsukano couldn't help herself and put her little face on the man's strong shoulder and burst into tears.

She has been going through too much lately.

She also knew that she had done something wrong, but at the same time she felt very wronged.

She didn't want to do that, but she couldn't find any other solution.

Sometimes, she feels confused and melancholy.

Consider 'finding that medical record' as a commission from the Ministry.

A person was sitting in the activity classroom, using a laptop to look up information.

From sunrise to sunset, I didn't make tea or talk to anyone.

Until Granny Cat knocked gently on the door of the service department and Snow White rubbed her ankle and meowed.

Only then did she realize that another day had passed.

Suzune Hatsukano leaned against her father and cried for a long time, pouring out all the sadness that had been suppressed in her heart for days, and only then did her tears stop.

I sat on the sofa with my father and talked about what had happened recently.

"There are only a handful of cases in the world?" Chu Kano Heizo repeated his daughter's words in bits and pieces, with a look of reminiscence on his face.

"Dad, do you know something?" Chu Luye Suzune gently wiped away the tears from her eyes with her hands.

"The illness your mother suffered from back then was also very strange. It can be said that it was unique in the world. Even though she went to Germany, a country with the most advanced medical care, and mobilized thousands of top doctors, it was of no avail. The progress of pharmaceutical manufacturing still could not catch up. In her last years, your mother was taken back to Tokyo for recuperation." Hatsukanohiro explained.

He raised his hand again, turned around and promised solemnly, "I promise, if there was a hospital in the world that could save your mother, I would buy it even if I had to sell everything I had."

Chu Luye Suzune suddenly felt that something was odd and funny, and quickly described Aunt Hanada's symptoms again, asking her father to compare them with her mother's symptoms.

"It sounds... like... it really is... a disease?" Heizo Hatsukano touched his chin thoughtfully.

"Where is that medical file? Why haven't I found any records of my mother's hospitalization after searching through all the files of hospitals in Tokyo?" Suzune Hatsukano seemed to have seen hope, with a bright light flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"Have you looked through all the records in Tokyo?" The old father suddenly looked serious. Is this the end?
"This is not the point. Tell me quickly, where is the file?" Chu Luye Suzune was really sweating. Her beautiful eyebrows were furrowed into a ball and she sighed deeply.

Time is running out!
Whether it is true or false, take the time to check it.

Even if it is true, I don’t know whether the pharmaceutical industry will be able to catch up.

In the worst case scenario, we don’t know whether the file is useful or not.

"Because I had your mother's physical data and some indecent photos, I used some means to secretly take them from each hospital where she had stayed and put them back in your mother's belongings box." Hatsukano Heizo looked tense.

"Dad, can you give me your hand?" Chu Luye Suzune suddenly smiled gently.

"What?" Hatsugano Heizo was stunned and asked.

"Hand it over and you'll know." Hatsukano Suzune tilted her head slightly and smiled more gently.

Chu Kanoheizo judged that she was at least 70% similar to her moody mother.

However, he still handed it over obediently.

The next second, Chu Luye Suzune bit his wrist gently with her pearly teeth as if she was holding a pig's trotter.

"hiss--"

The man was shocked as if his DNA was moved.

Hatsukano Suzune stood up lightly, looked into his eyes tenderly, and smiled.

"Forgive you."

Subsequently.

She ran out of the house, once ready to rush into the rain.

At first, Heizo Kanohano was dazed. He came to his senses, raised his wrist and took a look at the faint tooth mark.

I was clearly attacked, but for some reason I felt warm inside.

The tooth mark actually didn't hurt at all.

really.

She still doesn't look like her mother at all, haha...

The man sat alone in the living room, covering his face with his hands and revealing a long-lost smile.

Silly.
