Restarting life, starting from bullying Pochi-chan

"Student Xiaoxiang must have misunderstood just now..."

Toyokawa Shoko raised her hand to tuck the hair by her ear, obviously not thinking that what she just heard was a misunderstanding. She bit her lips with her pearly teeth and said, "Kitahara-san, don't be so impulsive. You should be more resolute...some things, once you make a mistake, you can never go back."

Hey, what do you mean by impulse?

Don't worry, I will definitely not agree to be supported by anyone!

Kitahara Makoto couldn't help but complain:

"High school students are the most impulsive at this age. It's hard to hold on with willpower alone, right?"

"Then you are weak-willed..."

Toyokawa Shoko was about to complain, but suddenly she remembered something.

It is better to block than to open up.

(High school students are indeed the most impulsive age. If I want to prevent Kitahara from falling into the trap of those ladies, just reminding him will definitely not work, unless... unless I satisfy him in advance...)

The otherworldly comic book she had read before suddenly popped up in Toyokawa Shoko's mind, and she involuntarily brought herself and Kitahara Makoto into it. Her pretty face suddenly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her heart skipped a beat.

(No, don't let your imagination run wild! Stop it now!!!)

"Why is your face suddenly red?"

Looking at Xiaoxiang whose pretty face suddenly turned red, Kitahara Makoto asked curiously.

"It's okay..." Toyokawa Shoko quickly turned her pretty face away, feeling so ashamed that she wanted to run away immediately, "I'll go back first..."

(We’re not even dating, but I can’t even think of that kind of thing… That’s terrible!)

"Wait." Kitahara Makoto grabbed Xiaoxiang's right hand, not wanting the misunderstanding to accumulate until tomorrow. "I haven't explained it clearly just now. Mrs. Nagasaki actually wants to do business with us..."

"Eh?" Toyokawa Shoko looked up in surprise. "Mrs. Nagasaki really works at the beauty salon? Did she just want to cooperate with us?"

Kitahara Makoto said seriously:

"You can't lie about this kind of thing. You can find out by just asking her. She even gave me a business card."

After seeing the business card, Toyokawa Shoko finally believed that she had misunderstood.

"Sorry……"

Toyokawa Shoko apologized in shame.

Kitahara Makoto thought for a moment and said:

"You have to be sincere when you apologize."

"Eh?"

"I'm hungry, Xiaoxiang, can you treat me to some ramen?"

"..."

The night rain drops down.

The air is still humid, but the stuffiness has dissipated a lot.

Kitahara Makoto and Toyokawa Shoko held umbrellas and walked along the street looking for a ramen restaurant.

"By the way, classmate Xiaoxiang said before that he wanted to move. How is it going now? Have you found a house?"

Kitahara Makoto asked casually.

Toyokawa Shoko raised her hand to tuck the hair by her ears and said softly:

"I've already found an agent. Yesterday I saw a house that I was quite satisfied with. The location is good, but the rent is a bit low..."

It is indeed very hard for the father and daughter to live in a small house of 34 square meters. Now that they are rich, of course they want to improve their living conditions.

Kitahara Makoto asked curiously:

“Isn’t low rent a good thing?”

"It's 30% lower than the average rent in the area." Toyokawa Shoko pursed her pink lips, "So I'm a little concerned."

Kitahara Makoto understood and raised his eyebrows.

"Haunted house?"

"I asked the agent," Toyokawa Shoko said softly, "They said it's not a haunted house, but there are strange noises coming from the house occasionally, so previous tenants didn't stay long."

Kitahara Makoto groaned:

"How about changing to another house?"

"That house has a full set of furniture and a very nice piano, so I want to stay there for a while and see how it goes. And..." Toyokawa Shoko looked up, "and Kitahara-kun is here."

"Understood." Kitahara Makoto said seriously, "If you encounter any special circumstances, tell me immediately."

"Thank you, Kitahara-kun." Toyokawa Shoko pursed her pink lips and looked up, "...Can I borrow the Book of Answers?"

Chapter 206 The weak Xiaoxiang is back again

"Of course, the book of answers is right in the bag." Kitahara Makoto asked curiously, "Does Xiaoxiang want to ask if there is any problem with the house?"

Who knew that Toyokawa Shoko would gently shake her head:

"You can ask about the house tomorrow. Today I want to ask how I can cheer up my dad."

Ever since the father and daughter left the Toyokawa family, the father has been in a slump, drinking all day long. He hasn't been to work for a long time. He either lies drunk or goes out to play marbles.

Before, Toyokawa Shoko worked two jobs to earn money to support her family, but her bastard father never gave her a penny.

Not going out to work would be fine, but what makes Toyokawa Shoko most sad is her bastard father's cold and indifferent attitude towards her.

She encountered so many things during this period. She was haunted by a ghost senior, stayed out all night, and exorcised demons with Kitahara Makoto. Not only did she have to go to school, but she also had to find time to look at houses with the agent and prepare to move on her own... But from beginning to end, her bastard father never cared about her, and never even asked her where she made her money.

Toyokawa Shoko was originally just narrating calmly, but as she spoke, for some reason she suddenly couldn't control her emotions, she clenched her fists, and mist slowly welled up in her eyes.

"Don't you asshole dad care about me at all?"

"Every day, he barely talks to me except asking me for money. Even if he only asks me a question verbally, I won't be sad..."

So Kitahara Makoto wanted to know, no matter what, how to cheer up his asshole father.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoxiang."

Kitahara Makoto sighed softly and reached out to gently rub Toyokawa Shoko's head.

An alcoholic father, a broken home, but fortunately the mother is not on medication and works hard to earn money while the father drinks and lies down at home, and has to endure the inner condemnation of abandoning his best friend all the time... No wonder a song "Spring Shadow" can make Xiaoxiang cry.

If something else happens, Toyokawa Shoko may turn evil at any time.

Fortunately, I met myself. I shouldn’t turn evil again…

at the same time.

Toyokawa Shoko was able to remain calm at first, but after being touched on the head by Kitahara Makoto, for some reason, the grievance in her heart could no longer be controlled and overflowed out.

next second.

The girl, biting her lower lip, suddenly took half a step forward and threw herself directly into Kitahara Makoto's arms.

(Just once...)

(I am weak only this last time...)

Kitahara Makoto: “…”

Wait, I really just wanted to pat your head to comfort you, I didn’t plan to hug you!

Looking at the girl expressing her emotions in his arms, Kitahara Makoto hesitated for two seconds and gently hugged Xiaoxiang's thin shoulders.

The two hugged each other quietly in the rainy night, and the wet ground reflected the colorful neon lights.

After an unknown amount of time, Toyokawa Shoko finally vented the grievances and repression in her heart, and with a red face, she took a half step back and said shamefully:

"I'm sorry for getting Kitahara-san's clothes dirty..."

"It's okay. I have to wash clothes when I get home anyway." Kitahara Makoto glanced at the dampness on his shoulder. "If it were someone else, they would probably be happy to take my place."

Toyokawa Shoko's pretty face turned slightly red, and her eyes turned angry towards him.

"If it were someone else..."

"how?"

"nothing."

Toyokawa Shoko turned her head and looked away.

If it were someone else, even if I felt wronged and really wanted a shoulder to lean on, I would never show weakness in front of others, let alone hug the other person.

Kitahara Makoto moved his shoulders and said:

"Xiaoxiang, do you feel better now?"

Toyokawa Shoko said softly:

"Much more comfortable."

"Then let's continue eating ramen?"

"...let's go."

After eating ramen, the two walked towards the tram station together.

On the way back, when passing an empty park, Kitahara Makoto took Xiaoxiang into the park, opened his schoolbag, and took out the book of answers:

"Xiaoxiang, you can ask questions now."

"Thanks……"

Toyokawa Shoko thanked him softly, took the book of answers, and began to ask questions.

Crash.

The book of answers turned pages at a rapid speed without any wind.

After a while, lines of text quietly appeared on the blank page:

[1: Return of the Dragon King]

[2: Second Spring of Life]

【Three: Grandfather】

"They actually gave three solutions." Kitahara Makoto was amazed. "It should be enough to satisfy any one of them. There is no need to satisfy all of them."

Toyokawa Shoko pursed her pink lips and said in a questioning tone:

"I can understand the second spring in life. It should be to let my dad find someone to marry and start a family again... What does the return of the Dragon King mean?"

"The three-year period has come, welcome the return of the Dragon King." Kitahara Makoto complained, "To put it simply, your father has a hidden and powerful background, and he successfully returned to the Toyokawa family, and then made all those who bullied you kneel down and repent."

Toyokawa Shoko: “…”

"I can't do it. That kind of thing is impossible no matter what." Toyokawa Shoko bit her lower lip and shook her head quickly, "My dad and I will never go back to that place..."

In fact, the Toyokawa family still exists, but Toyokawa Shoko and her father were kicked out of the Toyokawa family. Although the specific reason is unknown, it is most likely because of intrigue.

The struggle for power and profit has always been the case throughout history.

"There is a third answer..." Toyokawa Shoko frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Grandpa has obviously passed away, so dad can't even see him, right?"

Kitahara Makoto looked over meaningfully:

"Is there a possibility... that the answer in the book means that your father will become your grandfather?"

"Eh?"

Toyokawa Shoko blinked, and her pretty face suddenly turned red.

My father has only one daughter. If I want him to become a grandfather, what other options are there besides getting pregnant myself?

But a person cannot have a baby unless...

Toyokawa Shoko's heart beat faster and her pretty face became hot, and she suddenly remembered the impulse she had at the door of the beauty center.

(No, don’t let your imagination run wild!)

(We are still just high school students, it’s too early to think about such things!)

(Now, having my dad become a grandfather is definitely not a surprise, but a shock!)
