How to raise a father who is overly controlling of his daughter

Rena trembled slightly at Izuki's actions, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

"What's wrong?" Itsuki noticed Rena's unusual behavior.

"It's nothing," Rena said in a muffled voice.

The two walked all the way to the school gate.

Rena suddenly whispered, "Daddy."

"Hmm?" Itsuki looked at Reina with a puzzled expression.

"I'm sorry," Rena said softly, turning her face away.

Izuki chuckled and patted Rena's head: "It's okay, just be more careful next time."

Rena slapped Izuki's hand away, seemingly annoyed by Izuki's slow reaction: "That's not what I meant!"

"What are you saying?" Izuki asked, puzzled, not understanding what Reina was saying.

"You... um, you're so stupid!" Rena muttered softly, turning her head to the side, her face flushed. "I should have known better than to apologize to you!"

At this point, Rena couldn't help but recall what had just happened, and feeling a little angry, she said with a flushed face, "Didn't I just tell you on the phone not to come up? I was almost finished memorizing my text, and you still came up!"

"You mean this? I was worried, so I came up here." Izuki scratched her cheek, suddenly realizing that Reina was upset with me because of this.

Honestly, what's there to be upset about?

"Um, I promise I'll listen to Reina from now on, okay?" Itsuki smiled.

Rena looked at the smile on Izuki's face, her face growing redder and redder until she couldn't stand it anymore. She stomped her foot and said, "No need!" and ran out quickly.

But after running only a few steps, Rena seemed to remember something and stopped in her tracks. Muttering something to herself, she returned to Izuki's side, looking unhappy, and took his hand.

Izuki shook her head, amused by the response.

Rena, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, excitedly bared her fangs at Izuki, her face flushed, and said, "W-what's so funny!"

Seeing that Izuki was still smiling, Rena's face turned even redder, and she turned her face away unhappily.

In a car not far away, Yixue saw Lingna holding Yiyue's hand, and their intimate manner made Yixue somewhat unhappy.

"Get in the car." Itsuki opened the door for Rena, waited for her to get in, then slammed the door shut and returned to the driver's seat.

Fasten your seatbelt and Yi Yue slowly starts the car.

The car slowly started moving, and Yixue saw Reina sitting alone in the back seat in the rearview mirror. She smiled smugly and glanced back.

"You were just holding Daddy's hand, so stay in the back by yourself."

Reina couldn't stand Yixue's smug face, so she glared back unhappily.

It was midday, and there were very few cars on the road; it wasn't rush hour. I got home in less than ten minutes.

"Put your backpacks on the sofa first, go wash your hands and eat. You must be hungry too."

Yi Yue smiled and went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

Because it was summer and the bowl was covered, the food was only cool on the surface; it was still warm inside when stirred with chopsticks.

"Should we heat it up in a pan?"

Yi Yue felt that the food wouldn't taste good when it was cold, but she didn't care about herself. She was afraid of affecting Yi Xue and the others' appetite.

After washing her hands, Rena sat at the dining table and impatiently urged, "Daddy, I'm so hungry, is it ready yet?"

"Okay, right away!" Yi Yue replied. They were starving and didn't care about the taste. They decided not to heat it up and just take it out.

"Dad, let me help you." After washing her hands, Yi Xue didn't sit there like Ling Nai, but walked to Yi Yue's side with a smile and helped him serve the dishes.

"Okay, take the shrimp and these out." Yi Yue carried out a large bowl of fish soup and asked Yi Xue to carry out a shrimp and beef steak.

"Rena, take out the placemat underneath." Itsuki was carrying a bowl of soup, which was a little full. She was being careful not to spill the soup.

Rena immediately placed the placemats under the table, and Itsuki put out the fish soup and went to scoop the rice.

Yixue held a bowl of shrimp in one hand and a pan-fried steak in the other, giving Lingna a smug smile.

"Tch, what are you pretending to be!" Rena pouted and turned her face away. Yixue was acting like a good girl in front of her father again.

Yixue just loved seeing Rena get her comeuppance, so she sat opposite Rena with a smile on her face.

Yi Yue scooped out all the rice and took out the chopsticks and spoons.

Seeing Rena eating so hurriedly, Itsuki smiled helplessly and said, "Eat slowly, don't choke." As she spoke, she gently wiped the rice grains from the corner of Rena's mouth with her hand.

Rena blushed slightly, paused for a moment, but quickly recovered and ate even faster than before, as if to hide her embarrassment.

"Cough cough..."

Suddenly, Rena choked on her rice because she was eating too fast and started coughing violently.

Yi Yue got anxious and immediately stood up to pat her back. Once she caught her breath, she poured her a bowl of fish soup and made her drink it: "I told you, don't rush, eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you."

"Cough cough." Rena coughed up tears, a glistening silver thread hanging from the corner of her mouth. Her eyes were slightly red as she looked at Izuki, pushing the fish soup with her hand.

Rena doesn't really like drinking soup.

"Okay, okay, I'll get you a glass of water."

Yi Yue sighed helplessly, put down the fish soup, and went to the kitchen to pour a glass of warm water.

Yi Xue, who was eating at the same time, had witnessed everything. She also wanted Yi Yue to gently remove the grain of rice from the corner of her mouth, and to pat her back so close, to gently coax her.

With an idea in mind, Yixue smiled and secretly took a grain of rice and stuck it to the corner of her mouth.

"That way, Dad will definitely take action and remove the rice grains from the corners of my mouth."

Izuki brought back water and gave it to Rena to drink.

"Cuckoo..."

Rena finished the water in one gulp, and after catching her breath, she said to Itsuki with a dissatisfied look, "Why is the water warm?"

"I added some hot water to the cooled boiled water. Drinking cold water while eating is bad for your teeth and stomach." Izuki pretended to be serious and coaxed Rena: "Don't think it's okay now, but when you get old, your stomach will be very uncomfortable."

"Hehe—" Rena chuckled and waved her hand, "Only a child would believe that."

“Yes, yes, yes, Rena isn’t a child. Only children would believe that.” Itsuki found it amusing.

Ignored by the situation, Yi Xue couldn't stand Yi Yue and Ling Nai's flirting anymore and thought to herself, "At least look at me!"

"Ahem!" Yixue took the initiative, put down her chopsticks, picked up her bowl, pretended to cough, deliberately raised her voice, and smiled, "Dad, I'm finished eating and going back to my room."

Now you should be able to look at me, right?

Just as Yixue had expected, Yiyue turned her head and said, "Then you should go back to your room first. Put the bowl on the table, and I'll clean it up later." She didn't notice the rice grains stuck to Yixue's face.

"Damn it, at least look at me properly!"

Yi Xue smiled, her eyes slightly narrowed, a red cross pulsating on her forehead. She clenched her fists, hesitant to stand up.

"Look at me! Look at me! Look at me!"

His entire body was shrouded in black mist, conveying the message, "Look at me!"

"Why aren't you leaving yet!" Reina noticed that Yixue was still standing there and urged her to leave quickly.

"I'll kill you!" Yixue glared at Lingna with murderous intent.

"Hmm, what's wrong, Yixue?" Yiyue looked at Yixue curiously.

Yi Xue's expression immediately changed to a smile. "No," she said, slowly rising to her feet. Her movements were slow, deliberately for Yi Yue to see.

"Look at me! Look at me!"

"I refuse to believe you can't see it like this!"

Yi Xue was inwardly excited, but outwardly maintained a serene smile.

"Hmm?" Yi Yue scratched her cheek curiously, then suddenly called out, "Yi Xue."

"Finally, I saw it!"

Yixue was very excited, tilted her head and smiled, "What's wrong?"

"Uh." Yi Yue gently scratched the corner of her mouth with her finger, indicating that there was a grain of rice on Yi Xue's lips.

Yixue is very sensible and mature for her age, unlike Lingna. Let her shave herself.

"Huh?" Yixue pretended not to understand, but in her heart she was thinking, "Why don't you remove it for me yourself!"

As Izuki scratched her cheek, struggling with how to explain, Reina burst out laughing: "Idiot, don't you even know you have a grain of rice stuck to your lips!"

"Do you have the right to talk to me like that!" Yixue glared at Lingnai, then looked at the slightly embarrassed Yiyue. Really, she tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead.

As Reina reached out to remove the grain of rice from the corner of Yixue's mouth, she made a bold move. She stood up, brought her face close to Yixue's, and gently licked the grain of rice away from the corner of Yixue's mouth with her tongue.

Yi Xue's smile gradually faded, Yi Yue was stunned, and the atmosphere became eerily quiet.

"..."

"..."

"Well!"

Once she came to her senses, Yixue immediately gave Rena a sharp rap on the head.

Rena was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes. She covered her head and cried out, "It hurts so much! Why did you hit me so hard?!"

Yi Xue maintained her smile, tilting her head slightly, looking innocent and naive.

But those who know her know that she is angry.

"Really, you're making jokes like this with your sister!" Yi Yue shook her head.

"Ugh, even Dad, you're not speaking up for me." Rena felt extremely wronged. She only wanted to take the opportunity to get back at Yixue, but who knew Yixue would react so strongly?

"Apologize quickly, and don't make jokes like that again." Yi Yue glanced at Yi Xue, who was still smiling. "Look, even your sister is angry."

"Tch!" Rena was very annoyed and said reluctantly, "I'm sorry!"

He said that, but he glanced at Yixue smugly.
