This must be a man who loves life... Hikigu thought.

Eating well alone is the highest state of life and the simplest romance.

When he is not bound by time and society, and happily fills his stomach, he can do whatever he wants in a short period of time, become "free", without being disturbed by anyone, and eat happily without caring. This kind of aloof behavior can be described as It is the best cure for modern people equally!

——It can be said that he is a lonely gourmet who walks in the modern society.

Bi Qigu yearned for this man's way of life very much, but he didn't bother, let alone chat.

On the one hand, Bi Qigu is not used to chatting with strangers, and more importantly, on the other hand, he feels that for such a person, not disturbing him when he is enjoying life is the greatest respect for him.

……

When he came back to his senses here, two super-large glasses of cold beer had been served on the table, as well as a bottle of beautifully packaged Kamozuru sake.

With a sound of "boom", two super-large glasses with handles clinked, and the heart-cooling cold beer went down the esophagus.

With a "ha" sound from the depths of his throat, Bi Qigu raised his hand and took a bunch of small roasted bird skewers that were dripping with oil, put them horizontally by his mouth, and licked off the whole bunch in one breath, and then suppressed That coolness and the thrill of alcohol.

Nakano Maruo and Hikigaya continued to eat, the two drank while eating, and soon finished the beer, so they continued to drink sake.

The amount of one bottle was too small, and it was gone before I felt anything, so Nakano Maruo ordered two more bottles.

——This is expected by the proprietress. After all, most of the guests who want sake will only drink one bottle. One bottle means more, and Bi Qigu and Uncle Nakano are not exempt.

Under the stimulation of alcohol, my uncle, who had always been taciturn and serious, talked more and more.

"Hachiman, thanks to you, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

"Uncle, where are you..."

"You don't understand, you don't understand..."

Nakano Maruo's face was flushed, and when he opened his mouth, he breathed out the smell of alcohol...he was drunk.

Hikigu opened his mouth and hesitated to speak, he had no memory of his uncle being drunk in front of him at all, because this is a reliable adult man who always pays attention to the image of his elders.

But it is because he is a reliable adult man that he has carried too many things, so that for so long, he has been overwhelmed by life, and he is obviously close to collapse, but he dare not release even Not even the slightest bit, let alone getting drunk.

The responsibility he bears makes him have to be a stable and reliable adult 24 hours a day, and he must not slack off in the slightest.

But now, because of Hikigaya, Nakano Maruo dared, and he could finally get drunk without worrying about falling asleep. When his daughter, nephew and niece had an accident, there was no one to rely on.

Frankly speaking, although Nakano was shocked by the verbal descriptions and documents before, he was not so shocked... It was not until today when he saw the real factory and those equipments that the scale exceeded his imagination that he had the most tangible feeling.

——He is really happy, happy, relieved, and excited today!

This nephew, he didn't raise it for nothing.

Chapter 240 Five Clumsy Love Story of a Mature Man

"Honestly, your sisters should all thank you," Nakano Maruo bowed his head and said, "but the one who should thank you the most is me."

"Because of you, I won't feel sorry for Rena."

"...Rena?"

Hikigaya blinked and repeated the name.

He thought the name was very familiar, but he forgot where he heard it.

"Well, she is the mother of the five little ones." Nakano Maruo spoke softly, raised his head to drink from the small wine glass, and the cool and sweet sake flowed down his throat and into his stomach.

"Oh, so it's my aunt."

Hikigu suddenly realized, and he said why it sounded so familiar, it turned out to be that one, the biological mother of the five Nakano sisters, that is, the wife of his uncle who passed away.

...Although I don't know why, Hikigu's impression of that aunt is very shallow. After all, it seems that he and his aunt only met a few times when he was very young, and then he forgot since when he never saw her again. Because my aunt died of illness not long after she got married.

Biqigu doesn't even have much memory of her aunt's funeral, but she still remembers her as a beautiful, beautiful, and temperamental beauty, so that although Biqigu's impression is very shallow, she still remembers her aunt's appearance.

——The mature version of the Nakano Five Sisters with enhanced temperament and aura is probably the same feeling. Anyway, they are definitely not inferior to the beauties of Yukino and Masuzu.

That is, with the appearance of this aunt, the five Nakano sisters suddenly appeared in the lives of the Nakano family and the Hikigaya family... They are not the biological children of the uncle, but the biological daughters of the aunt Rena, brought with them when they got married. Come stepdaughter.

"...How could you be sorry?" Bi Qigu casually took a mouthful of the onion covered with barbecue ingredients, crunching in his mouth, the onion was a little bit choking, Bi Qigu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"We all see your kindness to Yihua and the others, and they respect and thank you very much. If my aunt can see it underground, she will be very pleased."

"Hmm..." Nakano Maruo was silent for a while, thinking about the words slowly in his heart, and didn't reply to Hikigaya.

Hikigu guessed that his uncle might be sentimental due to the effect of alcohol or the long-lost relief from stress, so he tried to divert his uncle's attention, boldly joking and gossiping:

"Speaking of which, Uncle, you must have liked Aunt very much, right? One is so beautiful, and the other has such a successful career at the beginning. I guess your love story must be very interesting. Is there any story that you can tell your nephew?"

Hikigu spread his hands and sighed helplessly, his funny voice was amplified a little and he tried hard not to let the guests at other tables hear:

"After all, I'm still single at this age. Uncle quickly pass on two tricks to me."

I don't know if my uncle heard the meaning of Bi Qigu's words, but it was actually just to divert his thoughts, and he was actually brought into the memory by Bi Qigu, his eyes gradually lowered, the look in his eyes swayed, and gradually dimmed,

"...There is no such thing."

His voice was very low,

"There's no such thing as emotion."

"...Eh? Eh, eh?"

Hikigu was dumbfounded, opened his mouth but could not close it from ear to ear, many possibilities flashed through his mind at this moment, and he thought of many, many stories that could be very long.

"Don't think about it."

Nakano Maruo didn't look at Hikigaya at all, but he seemed to know what Hikigaya was thinking.

"That's a long story."

"To put it simply, Rena doesn't like me, and even said that she never thought of being with me, but I like her, but Rena doesn't plan to be with me, even though her life was very difficult at the time. "

Alcohol is a terrible thing, especially sake, it does not make people very drunk, the person who speaks can still retain some of his own consciousness, but loses too much reason and restraint, so it is the most open to others Heart, talk about the distant stories buried deep in the heart and concealed for a long, long time.

Uncle's half-depressed, half-depressed voice was full of drunkenness, and he slowly narrated a very secret past that Hikigu never knew,

"It's just that she suddenly became seriously ill. At that time, I asked my hospital to treat her... In the hospital, she learned that she was about to die, but the five children were still young."

"At this time, I knew that my only chance was coming... So I took advantage of it despicably, but I will never feel guilty about my despicability, because that must be the most correct and smartest thing I have ever done in my life. "

"Although she didn't want to, but in the end, after my persistent insistence, coupled with the fact that she couldn't let go of the children's future, she finally married me, and I became the children's adoptive father and Ling Nai's husband in name... ...Although until Rena's death, I never touched Rena."

"This, this, this..." Bi Qigu was dumbfounded, stammered for a long time, and finally he finally said: "How could it be like this."

——It’s impossible, and it absolutely shouldn’t be.

Bi Qigu didn't know anything about the story between uncle and aunt, but he knew how good his uncle was to the five Nakano sisters, it was a heart-pounding but silent kindness.

When my uncle is rich, I will not talk about it. Although he is always busy with work, he has always been responsive to the five sisters in terms of finances from childhood to adulthood.

In the past two years alone, after the bankruptcy of the company, my uncle still supported the entire five oil bottles in the family by himself even under the pressure of life, without any complaints, or even the slightest negative emotions. Vented to the family.

Five kids...the cost of raising five kids is enough to bring down any moderately well-to-do family, not to mention sending five kids to high school at the same time in the worst circumstances.

——It is even said that after the death of the aunt, the uncle has never remarried and is alone.

These are things that Bi Qigu sees in his eyes. Uncle is so good to the five children who are not his own. Bi Qigu has always felt that it must be because the uncle and his wife were really loving at the beginning that he was willing to treat the five children as his own. , Finally, after the death of his wife, he silently took on the responsibility of his father without any complaints.

——But now his uncle told him that there was no such thing as affection between him and his wife.

——But now his uncle told him that he was able to get married because he promised to take care of the five sisters.

...Hikigaya can't understand it at all, and can't even imagine it.

"But why? If that's the case, why are you still willing to treat Yihua and them so well?"

Hikigu couldn't bear to ask his uncle,

"Even in the most difficult time, when food is almost out of reach, they still try their best to maintain the five sisters' studies and live as normal a life as possible... Why is this?"

This question seemed to hold Nakano Maruo for a while, so Nakano Maruo took a piece of pork with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth to chew slowly and think carefully.

"In the beginning, my idea was just to take good care of Rena's daughter... On the one hand, I love Wu and Wu, and on the other hand, I want to take responsibility. After all, I am their new father legally and nominally. "

Nakano slowly considered his words, and slowly told Hikigaya,

——Tonight's Hikigaya is no longer Nakano Maruo's nephew, but a friend who Nakano Maruo can confide in.

"But slowly I discovered that I really regarded them as my daughters... and raising a daughter does not require any reason or any motivation, and it has nothing to do with my wealth."

"..."

Hikigu pursed his lips and nodded silently.

"You must like your aunt very much, don't you?"

"Yes, I can't tell you that we are in love, but I can tell you for sure that I do like her."

"Aunt... what kind of woman is she? What kind of magic power makes you like it so much?"

Uncle thought for a few seconds and drank another glass of sake before giving his answer:

"Rena, she used to be my teacher, a very good teacher."

Hikigu was surprised, "Huh? A teacher-student relationship?"

"Yes, you were still very young at that time, so you may not remember it anymore. When we got married, although the family didn't know too many details, they were still very opposed to it. My sister, that is, you and your mother were the ones who opposed it the most. The intense one."

"Anyone will object..."

Hikigu sighed.

Of course, he now likes his five cousins ​​unconditionally, but frankly speaking, at the time, the teacher-student relationship and the woman was single with five children... This situation was really unacceptable.

Uncle continued:

"I don't even remember being punched by her when I was in school. She was not kind, nor did she please the students. Even in school, no one saw her smile."

Reminiscing about the funny things, my uncle's always cold expression became softer and softer,

"When facing delinquent boys, she directly repaired them with an iron fist with a blank face... But while being feared by others, everyone also felt her belief in education."

"No matter how scary and unsmiling she is, she will be understood and loved by the students... After all, everyone knows that she treats us selflessly."

"What's more, she's beautiful...really beautiful, and has attracted many boys in the school. She has the kind of beauty of a fan group."

"However, her inside is more fascinating than her appearance. Most of the students in the school fan group have been repaired by her, but although everyone has been taught by her, they have gradually become famous because of discovering her inside. Her crowd."

"...Among the people who liked her at that time, I was just one of the humble ones."

"So it's hard to say that my hard work and pursuit of progress are not due to her factors. I desperately want to change my destiny and become a good enough person worthy of her... At least surpass those many people who also like her."

"I told myself that I was a little inferior at that time, now you can't have any results with Rena, so first get down to becoming excellent. When you are 30 years old, if you are the best at that time, if that When you were still single and still missed Rena, let’s talk about looking for her.”

"If Rena had already married at that time—the possibility of this is also the greatest. After all, it is impossible for a person as beautiful as Rena to not be pursued by a bunch of people. So if Rena had already married at that time, then you should bless her And happy for her, but if she is not married yet, no matter what she has experienced and changed in these years, you can go after her again."

"So if you want to say it's a secret love or something, it doesn't seem to be considered... because I didn't even expect a response, and I didn't even think about being together. I directly set the goal at the age of 30. This is just giving It’s just a motivation to work hard.”

Bi Qigu slammed his lips, "In the end, you really became an excellent person worthy of her, and the only one who caught up with her was the humble you,"

Bi Qigu has always felt that the most powerful crush in the world is for her to become a better version of herself.

"I didn't catch up, I said it, I sneaked in despicably." Uncle shook his head seriously and said seriously.

It's not despicable... Hikigu said so in his heart, and listened silently to his uncle to continue on the surface.

"This is a sneak in, everything has to start with Yihua and their biological father."

Yihua's biological father... Bi Qigu narrowed his eyes, he always thought that man was dead long ago.

"To put it bluntly, Rena is a poor woman, and her brain and eyes are not very good."

"There was a man who used to be Rena's teacher. Rena admired that man very much when she was a student; so after graduating from high school, Rena chose to continue her studies with the goal of being a teacher. In the end, she succeeded in becoming a teacher and got along with the man she was with. The man I look up to is in the same school."

When it comes to "this man", the uncle's tone is full of disdain and sneer.

"In Rena's eyes, she may only know that man is a very knowledgeable person, but she doesn't understand him as a man, but because of her longing for an idol, she still chooses to be with that man... That was the source of her nightmares."

"At first, the man probably took a fancy to Rena's beauty, but after learning that she was pregnant and that she was pregnant with quintuplets, he irresponsibly abandoned the mother and child."

"As a single mother, Rena raised the quintuplets and lived an unimaginably poor life. Even, because she had to support five children, Rena had to drag her broken body to work day and night, and eventually became overworked. The disease has fallen to the root of the disease, and finally became an incurable disease."

"...I remember the long-lost reunion between Ling Nai and I. She was a weak woman not long after she gave birth, and she took care of five children by herself. The airy look?"

"But why would I care about that kind of thing, I only know that she is single now, and I even think this is the arrangement of fate."

"I told myself that if she had a husband and lived happily at the time, then I would only bless her, but she was like that at the time... I was 30 years old at the time, and I already had my own business, which was fairly successful, but she was in In the midst of trouble, it was when I descended from the sky as her savior.

"...So I didn't even care about those five children, and went straight to her and expressed my heart to him."
