After hearing what Ichiri said, Kotobuki Hikaru finally stopped teasing.
He released his hand holding Yili.
The girl's back gradually faded away, disappearing on the descending stairs of Mingming Station.
The boy stood not far from the entrance of the station for a while, staring blankly at the station where only unknown passers-by came and went.
Now I kind of hate the station. Every time I walk to this place, it often means saying goodbye to Yili.
Even if it is a brief disappearance, it is a pity that the important person is not around.
It wasn't until his body felt cold and he shivered that Kotobuki came back to his senses.
......
...
When Kotobuki returned to his residence, the sky was completely dark and the stars were sparse.
His room has been tidied up, the clothes he changed out of when he was sick have been washed, and the bed has been replaced with a new one.Sakuha is still so reliable.
Lying lazily on the soft bed, his body sank deeply into it, without any strength in his body.
"Drip...drip...drip..."
Kotobuki opened the phone and dialed the number that he hadn't called in a long time.
The voice waiting to be answered on the phone rang an unknown number of times.
boom...
After the answering sound rang, the beeping sound finally stopped.
There was no sound coming from inside, as if they were waiting for someone to speak first.
"Hey..."
Qinbukiguang spoke without confidence.
"what's up?"
The father's voice inside was concise and to the point.
Qinbukiguang just felt a little speechless.
"I'm your son... shouldn't you call your father if you have nothing to do?"
"..." The other party was silent for a while before slowly speaking. "Other than causing any trouble, have you ever called me?"
"Well--!"
Unable to refute.
"I just feel like I haven't contacted you for a while. I just want to say hello..."
In the past, I was indeed the type who often got into trouble, but now I have completely corrected myself and will never get into any trouble.
"How are you... lately? Father..."
Kotobuki Mitsuru had never said such caring words before. When he did say it, he really felt a little shy and found it difficult to say it.
This is something you shouldn't be ashamed of...
"..."
However, he was not the only one feeling shame.
On the other side of the phone, hearing the words of concern coming from the phone, a blush appeared on the face of the man who had always been solemn and solemn.
Obviously, his daughter calls him often and greets her like this every time, so he should have gotten used to it.
But this unlucky guy said something like this, which has never happened before.
Even a little moved.
"Very good." The head of the Kotobuki family tried his best to suppress his somewhat excited voice. "On your side, are you completely recovered? It's too embarrassing for a man to be knocked down by a mere cold."
"It's okay! It's really too much to ask Sakiha to come all the way."
Even though she said this, Qinbukiguang still felt a little warm in her heart.
Such straightforward words of concern even made him wonder if it was really that old-fashioned person on the other side of the phone.
"Father, please...take good care of your body."
Probably because they were not talking face to face, Kotobuki Mitsuru said a lot of things that he would never say on a normal day.
"My body is still fine, no need to worry."
However, to get such an answer, after all, it is just the bright moon shining on the ditch.
"It took a lot of effort for me to muster up the courage to care. Do you just not care?"
Kotobuki Mitsuru was still thinking that either his father would be completely moved, or he would mock him as if he were mocking him. Such a nonchalant answer was a bit unacceptable.
"There's one more thing...I want to tell you."
Kotobukimitsu said hesitantly.
"Sure enough, is there still something wrong?"
The other party sighed.
"I'm not asking you to clean up my mess!"
Kotobuki was silent for a moment, organizing the words in his heart, and then mustered up the courage to speak slowly.
"I have a girlfriend..."
"It's Ichiri...the daughter you met before, Uncle Goto's daughter."
Qinbukiguang was a little uneasy.
If you say this kind of thing, will you be opposed or scolded?
Although there is a high probability that this will not happen.
"I've known about this for a long time, Tsumugi told us."
Sure enough...
No matter what it is about herself, Sister Tsumugi will tell her family.
In fact, Kotobuki Tsumugi didn't take the initiative to talk to his father about this matter.
In her opinion, such an important matter should be told by Qinbuki to herself and her father, but she couldn't bear the old man's questioning and finally told him.
"I just think it's better to tell you in person..."
"No matter who your girlfriend is, as long as it's a woman you really like in your heart, I have no problem with it."
"You should be more responsive...careful...this is my first time falling in love."
"..."
The other party on the phone was silent.
Such silence seemed to be covering up the answer. Just waiting made Kotobuki Hikaru feel upset.
"I just don't want to interfere with you."
Finally, the other man gave a follow-up answer.
"Compared with long-winded questions and excessive worries, I just hope that you can walk out of your own life."
"Besides, now you are a man with the courage to stand alone, so if it is your own choice, I will naturally not interfere."
Kotobukimitsu was stunned.
Did my father always think this way...
Unexpectedly, the person who was moved to a complete mess in the end was actually myself.
"Besides, the daughter of the Goto family is... very nice. Maybe this is fate."
There was a smile in his words that he tried his best to hide.
He must be very happy that his lover is the daughter of his old friend.
"But...light."
The other party suddenly called out his name, and Kotobuki Hikaru suddenly became nervous.
"Since you told me this, can I understand that... you have made up your mind to stay with the daughter of the Goto family until the end."
"Of course I have made up my mind!"
Qinbukiguang gave the answer immediately without any hesitation.
There is no hesitation, and there is no need to hesitate at all.
This is a question that I have thought about countless times and have determined the answer countless times.
"That's it... then, don't run away."
"...No, I will not run away no matter what..."
Perhaps it struck a soft spot in the man's heart. Kotobuki heard his father's words seem a little lonely.
Don't wish to be like him.
She also doesn't want Yili to be like her father...
"One more thing...Father."
Kotobuki Hikaru's tone changed and she spoke.
"what's up?"
"The thing about our band...recently, we're going to start working on our first album."
"..."
There was no response, or perhaps the silence itself was a response.
Vaguely, Kotobuki seemed to hear a shallow sigh.
Although it was weak, it still reached my ears without missing a beat.
"In that case, just work hard for me."
The other party finally gave an answer.
“Don’t give up halfway if you’ve already made up your mind.”
"I heard Uncle Goto say before... your band also produced an album... and it was you, father, who composed the music."
Kotobuki Hikaru cares, very much.
However, the other party did not grasp the point of the problem.
"Goto, when did he tell you that?!"
Even he said bad words and his tone was a little panicked.
"Ah... I went to Ichisato's house yesterday... and stayed overnight. Uncle Goto told me."
"You have already gone to Goto's house. When will you bring his daughter to see me?"
"what......"
The point is this...
"That's it, don't call me until you take her home."
Snapped...
The phone was hung up.
drip...drip...drip...
Looking at the hung up phone page, Kotobuki Hikaru fell into deep thought.
Does the father just want to see Yili...or is he avoiding something...
......
