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

Izuki panicked and bent down to support Rena: "Where does it hurt?"

Suddenly, I noticed that Rena was looking down, her body was trembling slightly, and she was actually chuckling to herself.

“You…” Izuki was furious and immediately took her hand away, glaring angrily at Reina.

Rena couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Dad, the way you were so nervous just now was hilarious!"

Izuki stared angrily at Rena without saying a word.

Reina's smile faded as she saw Itsuki's serious expression, and she cautiously asked, "Dad, are you angry?"

"What do you think?" Yi Yue asked angrily.

"I'm so sorry..." Rena apologized, "I'll never make jokes like that again... Waaah, Daddy, please forgive me, please forgive me!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Yi Yue's hand and shook it back and forth.

"Sigh." Reina's annoyance had subsided considerably, and Yi Yue said with a hint of helplessness, "When will you be half as sensible as Yi Xue?"

When Rena heard Izuki say those words, she trembled and looked at Izuki with some disappointment, then turned to look at Izuki to the side.

Yixue stood quietly to one side, without saying a word. When she saw Lingna looking at her, a smile appeared on her face.

"Tch..." Rena lowered her head unhappily, silently following Yiyue beside her, thinking resentfully, "Why compare her to Yixue! She's sensible, go and pamper her." She was also a little scared: "Could it be that Dad really thinks this, that he finds me annoying?"

After walking for a while, Izuki found the silence unusual. He looked curiously at Rena beside him, who was standing with her head down, looking lifeless.

"Could it be that I said something too harsh?" Izuki couldn't help but wonder if she had said something wrong. He had just said it in anger, purely out of concern. Could it be that her angry words had hurt Reina?

Izuki stopped and gently called to Rena beside her, "Rena, Rena?"

After calling her several times, Rena finally responded, asking in a displeased tone, "What's wrong?"

"Um, Daddy was a bit harsh just now. I'm sorry." Izuki scratched her cheek, looking embarrassed and begging for Reina's forgiveness.

Rena looked up, blinked, and then lowered her head again: "Actually, it's my fault. I made Dad angry. I know Dad was just saying it in anger."

Izuki pursed her lips, feeling a pang of sadness, and gently patted Rena's head: "I'm sorry."

"What's there to apologize for?" Rena pouted, then slowly smiled again. "I didn't take it to heart!"

But deep down, she was happy and thought, "My dad cares about me so much, what am I thinking?"

Itsuki seemed to be infected by Rena's joy and laughed happily.

Yixue, standing to the side, also had a smile on her face, thinking to herself, "Although Dad said it in anger, isn't that what he really thinks? Dad definitely cares about me more."

……

Rena quickly forgot all about the little incident.

She pushed her little cart again and went around buying things she liked.

Reina pushed into the supermarket where cooked food and braised dishes were sold.

"Dad, I want to eat this..." Rena pointed to the fried chicken legs and braised sausages in the cabinet, her mouth watering.

Even though I ate so much before, I'm starting to crave food again now.

Yi Yue shook her head: "It's so late, and the food here isn't fresh. If you really want to eat, we can go outside and buy some later."

"Oh..." Hearing that Izuki had said that, Rena reluctantly pushed the cart to the snack counter in front.

Rena's eyes lit up at the sight of snacks, and she quickly began picking them out like a wolf among sheep.

"Lay's potato chips, Kobi, Ya Potato, seaweed chips, beef jerky, chicken feet, chocolate, jelly!"

Rena quickly selected snacks, seemingly never tiring, stuffing them into her shopping cart.

Yi Yue shook her head helplessly, looked at the well-behaved Yi Xue to the side, and smiled, "You can choose one too."

Yixue shook her head and smiled, "I don't really like eating these."

Like Yi Yue, I don't really like eating these snacks.

I only eat bread occasionally when I'm hungry. When I crave something sweet, I eat some seaweed chips and jelly.

I don't eat potato chips much.

"Then let's go over there later and see if there's anything you like to eat," Yi Yue said.

Yixue smiled and nodded.

"Happy fat man water! Vita lemon tea! Want Want milk!" After picking out the snacks, Rena put drinks into the shopping cart.

Izuki frowned: "Why did you bring so many drinks?" She looked through them and saw that the three drinks Rena had brought were all in tin cans, the six-in-one kind, all six cans packaged together.

"Cola...lemon tea? What are these?" Yi Yue felt overwhelmed: "What kind of drink is Vita Lemon Tea?" She turned the packaging over to look at the ingredients. "Besides Want Want Milk, I don't understand what the point of drinking these two is."

“You don’t understand,” Rena snorted. “Vita lemon tea is better than marijuana. Vita enters my heart and makes me forget heroin.”

At first, she didn't know what Vita Lemon Tea was.

Until one time, she was using Yi Yue's computer to chat in a QQ group when someone posted this picture, along with a screenshot of a box of lemon tea packaging.

Out of curiosity, I decided to give it a try.

At first, the taste seemed strange, but then I couldn't stop eating it.

"What nonsense is this?" Izuki frowned upon hearing Rena's words and immediately put the lemon tea and cola back.

I rummaged through the shopping cart again, took out some pickled chicken feet and some potato chips, and put them back on the counter.

"Don't eat the chicken feet, they're all zombie meat. Put a few bags of potato chips back, don't buy too many. Remember to eat them sparingly, don't finish them in a few days like last time. Otherwise I won't buy them for you anymore."

Izuki warned that she had bought a lot of things for Rena last time, but Rena had eaten them all in two days.

They really treat snacks like meals, showing absolutely no restraint or self-discipline.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Learning Machine

"How could it be finished in just a few days!" Rena pouted and muttered under her breath, still stubbornly insisting, "It's been almost a week since I started eating it, don't talk nonsense."

Izuki gave Rena a disgruntled look. Yes, it had indeed taken her almost a week to finish eating. The problem was that she had finished the potato chips and other snacks a few days ago, leaving only a lot of loose candies.

If you eat that much sugar in one day, aren't you afraid of getting sick from the sweetness and toothache?

Izuki didn't dwell on the issue with Rena. She pushed the cart to the counter by the car door and bought small bread rolls and jelly by weight to make snacks for when she was hungry.

I bought several pounds of pork floss cakes and jelly, as well as half a pound of beef cubes.

Pushing the shopping cart, I went to buy tissues and milk.

We've run out of baby formula and almost finished using toilet paper.

The cart happened to pass by the area selling electronic products, where a BBK learning machine was displayed on a counter.

The learning machine screen also displayed an advertisement: "BBK Learning Machine, get into a prestigious school from home, one-on-one online tutoring with real people..."

Rena stopped in her tracks as she looked at the learning machine, reluctantly turning her gaze away. Then she looked at Izuki with pitiful eyes, clearly wanting one.

"What's wrong?" Itsuki asked curiously, following Reina's gaze to the learning machine on the counter in front of her. She instantly understood what was going on and said helplessly, "What do you need this for?"

“Studying!” Rena said matter-of-factly, shaking Izuki’s arm. “Daddy, Daddy, buy me one. With this, I guarantee my grades will improve.”

"I don't believe you. I know you well enough!" Izuki chuckled, flicking Reina's nose. "You definitely want to use this learning machine to go online."

"N-no, I didn't!" Rena said somewhat guiltily, not expecting that Izuki would see through her lie.

She thought Yiyue was easy to fool.

When it comes to things related to learning, Yi Yue is very willing to spend money.

I originally planned to lie to Yiyue and say it was for studying, and then buy this learning machine.

Then you can chat online and watch videos. No more tedious spending all day in the living room watching TV to catch up on shows. You can comfortably play in bed.

"I'm using it for studying!" Rena insisted. "My teacher also said that learning machines are very useful for studying."

"Oh, which teacher said that? I'll ask them later." Izuki joked with Reina with a smile on her face.

Rena panicked a little, afraid that Itsuki would really turn around and ask, and stammered, "I...I forgot! Anyway, the teacher did mention it."

"Alright, alright, even if the teacher did say that, you still have to tell me why it's useful, right?" Izuki said, wanting to see what reasons Rena could come up with.

“Well, studying! For example, if you don’t know how to solve a problem, you can use a learning machine to search for the answer,” Rena said.

"Doesn't it take you time to search for the answer? Why go to such lengths? You might as well ask your sister how to do this problem."

"Uh, what if she doesn't have time!" Rena said somewhat flusteredly.

Yixue smiled and said, "I always have time."

"Ugh...you!" Reina glared angrily at Yixue, wondering why she had to ruin things at this moment.

Is she really my sister? Shouldn't she be helping me instead?

"Um, well, what if, what if the question is too difficult? What if Yixue can't do it either?" Reina seemed to have found a good excuse. "Yes, what if even Yixue can't do it?"

"How difficult can the questions be in the first year of junior high? Do you think I can't solve them?" Yixue raised an eyebrow.

Rena exclaimed, "I said just in case! Just in case, you understand?!" She muttered softly, "Can't you just cooperate a little?"

"Yes, yes, then I guess I won't do it well." Yixue raised her eyebrows, smiled, and placed her hands in a cross shape in front of her chest. She wanted to hear what Reina had to say.

“What do you mean even if you don’t know, you just don’t know!” Rena retorted, continuing with her own analogy: “I encountered a very difficult problem, and when I showed it to Yixue, she couldn’t solve it no matter what I did. What should I do then? Well, that’s where the learning machine comes in handy. Just a quick scan, and the answer to the problem appears.”

“Heh…” Yi Yue chuckled softly.

Rena's eyes lit up. Judging from Izuki's expression, could there be a chance?

"No chance!" Itsuki said directly, shattering Reina's illusions.

"Why!" Reina asked, puzzled, continuing to praise the learning machine in an attempt to persuade Itsuki: "It's not just about finding answers to questions, it also offers free tutoring. If I don't understand a point in class, or forget something, can't I catch up on it after school with the learning machine?"

Izuki made a fist with her index finger and gently tapped Rena's forehead.

"Ugh!" Rena covered her forehead with both hands, pouting in dissatisfaction, "Why did you hit me? Did I say something wrong?"

"Have you forgotten?" Yi Yue said with amusement.

"Forgot what?" Rena blinked.

Have you forgotten what I do?
