"Okay... okay."
The familiar maid serving in the banquet hall pulled out a chair for Goto Kazuri on one side of the table and motioned for her to sit in that position.
"Miss Goto, just leave the coat you took off to me."
"Ah...Thank you, Miss Sakiha..."
Seeing a familiar face, Goto Ichiri's expression became much more relaxed.
It was indeed a bit hot in the room. Wearing a heavy winter coat, I only stayed there for one minute and started to feel hot, making me want to sweat.
Kotobuki Tsumugi and his father were only wearing single clothes.
Goto Ichisato took off his coat and handed it to Sakuha, then he was about to take off his scarf.
Wait—a scarf? !
Goto Ichisato's hand froze in the air, halfway through taking out the scarf.
"Miss Goto?"
"Ah...no, it's nothing!"
There was no other way. Goto had no choice but to bite the bullet and took off the scarf wrapped around his neck. He couldn't help but lower his head and shrink his neck.
Naturally, such a small move cannot escape the sight of several people around him.
There are still a few pink marks on the girl's neck.
...How such a mark is formed can naturally be easily guessed, but in this case, it cannot be directly explained in words.
"What's going on here in Xiaoyili?"
However, a certain innocent girl asked worriedly.
"No...nothing! Just a bug bite!"
Gotou lowered his voice and responded with a voice that only Kotobuki Tsumugi could hear, but his tone was panicked.
Awkward......
Goto regretted it immediately, very much.
"Are there any bugs this season?"
Before Kotobuki Tsumugi could continue to ask, a moment later, Kotobuki Hikaru followed belatedly in.
"Father." Kotobukimitsu greeted.
"Well...you kid still knows how to come back."
Different from the expression he had when facing his daughter and Goto Isato, the moment he saw Kotobuki Hikari, his father changed his expression to a stern one.
"Giggle..." Kotobuki Tsumugi couldn't help laughing.
"Eh..." Seeing the sudden change in the man's expression, Goto Kazuri was also a little surprised.
"I actually want to come back to see you and Sister Tsumugi, but I've been busy with too many things recently, so I'm a little distracted."
Kotobuki Hikaru smoothly took off his coat and handed it to Sakuha beside him.
It was too hot in the room, so he unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt.
"Hey... Xiaoguang also has the same marks on his body?"
Kotobuki Tsumugi felt a little confused.
Could it be that they were both bitten by bugs?
Eh......
At that moment, Kotobuki Tsumugi seemed to have thought of something.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
A turbulent wave arose in the girl's mind, like a rolling tide, shattering her worldview.
Afterwards, the girl fell into silence for a while.
"Busy...you should all be busy." The father sitting in the main seat sighed.
I never thought that one day I would have this kind of trouble.
The child gradually left him. In the huge mansion, there were only himself and his servants. He was busy at work every day and wanted to numb himself in this way.
"Since everyone is here, let's chat while eating."
As the elder and head of the family, he naturally sat in the main seat, with Kotobuki Tsumugi sitting on one side of him, while Kotobuki Hikari and Goto Kazuri sat opposite Kotobuki Tsumugi.
"Hehe...I've been feeling hungry for a long time~"
Kotobuki Tsumugi touched his somewhat dry belly, picked up the knife and fork, and inserted a piece of ham from the dinner plate on the table.
"Ichiri, how is Goto lately?"
"Eh...Dad?"
When he was suddenly mentioned, Goto Ichiri's mind went blank for a moment, but he quickly reacted and responded.
"Dad is doing very well recently. He is as happy as before. However, sometimes he also says that he misses you, uncle."
Middle-aged men have always been helpless.
After all, life still has to make compromises. For the sake of family, it is almost inevitable to reduce social interactions between friends.
However, the friendship between men cannot be worn away by time. Even if they have not interacted with each other for a long time, they will always remember each other in their hearts.
"Ugh....."
Kotobuki Hikaru keenly heard the father let out a small sigh that he didn't mind.
"Your band has been pretty good recently, right?"
The three eyes looked at each other, but Kotobuki Tsumugi didn't respond after seeing that his father's eyes were looking in the direction of Kotobuki Hikaru and Goto Isato.
"I'm making progress step by step. I think I've taken the first real step. Although it's tiring, I'm very happy."
Kotobuki Hikaru thought for a moment and said.
"Of course...we are able to reach this point thanks to your help, father."
"Humph..."
The man's cheeks turned slightly red and he snorted.
Chapter 238 The guy who doesn’t live up to expectations
Kotobuki Hikaru has never been a hard-hearted person.
Feeling that others are turning a blind eye to his good intentions, he naturally cannot do such a thing.
Since leaving home, this bastard has gradually begun to feel some emotions that he had never experienced with his strict father before.
In the past, I was still too naive, impulsive, and easy to go to extremes. I didn't look mature at all.
She insists on what she wants, regardless of her family's thoughts, is self-centered, and takes everything for granted, and all her faults are pushed onto others.
Although it can be said that the rebellious period should be bohemian and longing for freedom, but if the same experience were placed in any ordinary family, it would definitely not be acceptable to any parent.
"Father, you have been helping us silently all this time. Thank you very much."
In the bright restaurant, the boy's cheeks were a little red under the warm orange light.
In this case, I actually said it myself...
He knew that he liked to fool around, so he felt a little weird about it.
"Wow... Xiaoguang has become so sensible..."
There were tears on the verge of falling down in the corners of Kotobuki Tsumugi's eyes.
As someone who has watched Kotobuki Hikaru grow up and grow up to this day, she was filled with emotion when she saw her wayward brother open his heart and talk to his father like this.
Both the father and the younger brother have the temperament to never look back until they hit the wall.
The most troublesome thing is when two stubborn donkeys come together. Neither side gives in at all, and everything can only come to a standstill.
"I just don't want others to see the harpist's jokes. It would be too embarrassing if I still achieve nothing after hanging out for so long."
Mature men are always good at concealing their inner emotions.
The man sitting in the main seat just took a sip of wine. Perhaps due to the alcohol, his cheeks were stained with a faint crimson color.
Just looking at his expression, you can't tell what he is thinking in his heart right now, and there is no trace of emotion.
"That means I haven't embarrassed my father now, right?" Kotobuki Hikaru continued to ask.
"Barely pass."
In the end, I only got the answer that was neither good nor bad.
However, given this man's character, it would be considered a success if he didn't get scolded by him without conscience.
Kotobuki Mitsuru was in a happy mood at the dinner table at home for the first time in a long time.
In the Kotobuki family, they always ate without talking or sleeping. When I was a child, my father rarely ate at home. He was either too busy to have time to be with them, or he attended commercial banquets with others outside.
Kotobuki was already shocked that he was able to take time off at Christmas and give notice of his return home well in advance.
For a busy man like him, he must have booked today's appointment long in advance. On holidays like Christmas, when businessmen are busy, it stands to reason that it would be difficult for him to be free.
"However, I didn't expect Xiaoguang to be able to make a girlfriend so quickly...and she is such a cute girl. She is obviously only a high school student..."
Kotobuki Tsumugi stared at Goto Kazuri sitting opposite him with interest and said.
"I'm so envious... It's such a pity that I fell in love in high school. I went to an all-girls high school and had no time to fall in love or anything like that."
The girl pretended to be distressed, as if she had regrets.
boom--!
As soon as he finished speaking, the tabletop suddenly made a violent sound.
"This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed! My daughter has a boyfriend or something!"
"This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed! My sister has a boyfriend or something!"
The two voices spoke almost in unison.
Afterwards, the father and son who spoke subconsciously looked at each other.
There were times when I was able to stand on a united front with him...
"Okay, okay...Dad, Xiaoguang, you are going to scare Xiao Yili..."
Kotobuki Tsumugi clapped his hands to calm the somewhat angry duo.
"Really...With you two, I might never be able to have a boyfriend in my life."
"Dad will take the responsibility to support you for the rest of your life. My daughter is not something that just any cat or dog can touch."
"Thank you, Dad, I'm very happy." Kotobuki Tsumugi said with a smile, just thinking that his father was just joking.
Even if I went to college, it would be the same all-girls school as in high school.
Although it is a university, the management of the university is still extremely strict... Even if I am forced to live on campus, I am quite happy living with my friends, but I usually have a lot of classes and there are occasionally dormitories. Spot checks.
It's not at all as open as I imagined a university should be.
After all, why are there still girls’ schools when we are already in college?
"I will never let Sister Tsumugi be seduced by a yellow-haired boy who doesn't know where he comes from."
Not to be outdone, Kotobuki Hikaru spoke.
You can't let your father say all the nice things alone.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I won't have a boyfriend." The girl showed a reassuring expression.
As soon as Kotobuki Tsumugi finished speaking, the expressions of the two men at the dinner table changed instantly, and they breathed a long sigh of relief.
But the girl only expressed half of her thoughts.
I really don’t know how to have a boyfriend...
But if you look into the reason...
