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

Everyone wore hats because they were worried about the heat in the morning.

Rena was wearing a white and red hat with a green "L" logo on it, the same one as Tomokazu's. She was wearing a white T-shirt with a red scarf, a gray dog ​​holding a fish, and a lewd smile. The shirt also had the words "rua, touch!" on it.

Yi Xue wore a plain pink sun hat and a white dress, simple yet beautiful. She smiled, took Yi Yue's hand, and rested her head on his arm.

She had only been out for a short while when Rena wiped away her sweat, looked up at the sky, and saw a cloudless expanse with the sun blazing down.

Rena stuck out her tongue, looking tired: "Dad, it's so hot. Are we going to walk to Wuma Mountain?"

Wuma Mountain is quite a distance from Yiyue's home; it takes almost twenty minutes to walk there.

"Of course! If you get up early to exercise, do you expect me to take a taxi? It's not like this is your first time hiking. When have you ever taken a car before?"

Yi Yue sighed, feeling that Rena really needed to exercise more. She said to Rena, who was drenched in sweat, "You really need to exercise more. Staying at home all day without going out and getting some exercise will easily cause health problems."

Rena stuck out her tongue: "Dad, you're still criticizing me. You're as weak as a girl, even weaker than me. I think it's Dad who needs to exercise."

"Eh." After Rena's comment, Itsuki felt a little embarrassed and disappointed, and forced a smile.

Yixue hugged Yiyue's arm and smiled, saying, "Daddy's fine. Even though Daddy's health isn't good, he'll still protect me if I encounter anything I can't handle, right?"

"Yes, definitely." Yi Yue nodded seriously.

Yixue laughed heartily, secretly glancing at Lingna, and thought coldly, "What an idiot, doesn't she know what she should and shouldn't say?"

Seeing the slight disappointment on Izuki's face, Rena realized she had said the wrong thing. She quickly went to Izuki's side, gently tugged at his sleeve, and said, "I'm sorry, Dad."

"It's alright." Izuki smiled and patted Rena's head, saying softly, "My health isn't good to begin with, and Rena didn't say anything wrong."

Hearing what Izuki said, Rena felt guilty and remorseful.

"Dad, I'm sorry." Rena apologized silently, feeling extremely distressed.

"Don't overthink it," Yi Yue said with a smile.

Yixue held Yiyue's hand and smiled along with him.

Rena let out an "oh," lowered her head, and slowly walked away, clutching the hem of Itsuki's clothes.

As Yi Yue smiled, the smile on her face slowly faded, her mind filled with thoughts of what Yi Xue had just said.

Protect...my daughter?

As if she had made a decision, Yiyue patted Reina Yixue's head twice.

Yi Xue smiled obediently at Yi Yue.

Reina looked at Izuki with a puzzled expression.

Yi Yue didn't say anything, she just smiled gently.

Chapter Fifty-Six Wuma Mountain

Wuma Mountain gets its name from the five dragon-horse carvings on the monument in the mountain square, which were made by revolutionary predecessors. It is also known as Longma Mountain, symbolizing striving for progress and the spirit of the dragon-horse.

The steps of Wuma Mountain are very long and steep; you can't see the end of them once you look up.

Climbing to the top of the mountain takes a lot of effort. Many elderly people like to climb to the top of the mountain for their morning exercise to breathe in the fresh air.

"Phew, almost there!" Rena felt tired and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

We're almost at the top of the mountain.

"Huff...huff..." Yi Yue gasped for breath, drenched in sweat, feeling utterly exhausted.

Yixue helped Yiyue up and asked with concern, "Dad, are you alright?"

"No...it's nothing," Yi Yue forced a smile. "You don't need to help me, you're tired too."

Yi Xue shook her head and smiled. She exercised regularly, so this distance was nothing to her. On the contrary, Yi Yue was panting heavily from exhaustion.

"Dad is really something. He was worried that we would focus on our studies and it would affect our health, so he took us out to climb mountains, but he got so tired himself."

Yi Xue glanced at Yi Yue with a hint of helplessness. This was too much of a stretch.

Finally, we reached the top of the mountain. There were many facilities at the top, including basketball courts, badminton courts, and various exercise equipment.

Many elderly people sat under the stone benches and in the shade of the trees, fanning themselves with palm-leaf fans, chatting, playing chess, or playing cards.

Many parents also bring their children here to exercise and play badminton.

There are also many high school and college students sweating it out on the basketball court.

They were very enthusiastic, as fiery as the sun in the sky.

"You must be tired too, take a rest for a while." Yi Yue said, taking out a wet wipe from her pocket and wiping Yi Xue Ling Nai's sweat.

"No need, I can do it myself." Yixue took the wet wipe, and Yiyue helped Reina wipe her sweat.

Rena didn't refuse, and smiled smugly.

After Yiyue finished wiping Reina's forehead, Yixue took the remaining wet wipes and gently wiped the sweat from Yiyue's forehead.

"Huh?" Yi Yue looked at Yi Xue.

Yi Xue tilted her head and smiled slightly at Yi Yue.

Yi Yue smiled and patted Yi Xue's head.

"Phew, I'm exhausted." Rena walked to the nearest stone bench and prepared to sit down.

Izuki stopped Rena from sitting down, saying seriously, "After exercising, you can't sit down or drink water right away, it's bad for your heart and body."

Rena blinked, hesitated for a moment, and stood to the side without sitting down.

"When can we sit down? My legs are killing me," Rena complained.

"Wait until your heartbeat and breathing calm down before you sit down," Yi Yue said.

"This is so troublesome," Rena said, pouting.

Yi Yue smiled and said, "Alright, now that we're up here, let's go take a look around."

"What's so interesting about this place? It's not like we've never been here before," Rena said softly, but still obediently followed behind Izuki.

After wandering around for a while, Rena got bored and sat on a stone bench under the shade of a tree: "I'm not going anywhere. You guys keep looking around, I'll wait for you here."

"Then don't wander off. Call me if anything happens," Yi Yue reminded her.

"Okay!" Rena said casually. Seeing Izuki Iyuki walk away, she whispered, "Honestly, I'm not a child anymore. You're acting like I'm going to get lost."

Yi Xue thoroughly enjoyed walking with Yi Yue, holding Yi Yue's hand and feeling extremely happy, leaning her whole body towards Yi Yue.

"If only Daddy only had me as his daughter," Yixue couldn't help but think. If Yiyue only had her as her daughter, there would be so many things she could do for her.

Just thinking about how all of Yi Yue's attention and care were focused on her alone makes me incredibly excited.

"Unfortunately, that's impossible."

Thinking of this, Yixue felt a pang of disappointment. Looking at Yiyue's profile, she immediately remembered something and curled her lips into a smile: "But Dad loves me the most, doesn't he? No matter what I do, Dad will forgive me. For example..."

"Dad," Yixue suddenly called out.

Yi Yue looked at Yi Xue curiously: "What's wrong?"

"I have a secret to tell Dad," Yixue said with a smile.

"Ah, what secret?" Izuki asked curiously.

Yixue smiled innocently and said, "Dad, stick your ear out and I'll tell you."

Yi Yue leaned closer, her ear close to Yi Xue's face. "What secret is it? Why are you being so mysterious?"

Yi Xue curled her lips and whispered in Yi Yue's ear, "Daddy is so easy to fool, so cute." After saying that, she gently bit Yi Yue's earlobe.

With a soft "uh," as if touched by static electricity, Yi Yue sensitively separated.

Looking at Yi Xue's smile, Yi Yue's slight shyness and embarrassment flashed by, and she said helplessly, "Don't joke like that."

Yi Xue always liked to make these kinds of jokes, and Yi Yue was already used to it.

Although the joke was excessive, Yi Yue always felt indebted to Yi Xue, so she just thought that the father and daughter had a good relationship and the joke had gone a bit too far, and didn't take it to heart, letting her do as she pleased.

"I'm not kidding, Dad's reaction was really funny and cute," Yixue said, tilting her head and smiling.

Yi Yue sighed helplessly, thinking to herself, "Really, being teased like this by my daughter."

Seeing Yi Yue's helpless expression, Yi Xue curled her lips and said, "See? As long as it's not out of line, anything is acceptable."

My dad is so gentle; I love dads like him the most.

Yi Xue's face turned slightly red, which Yi Yue noticed. Yi Yue assumed it was because of the hot weather and didn't think anything was wrong.

"Dad, I'm so thirsty," Yixue suddenly said.

"Then let's have some herbal tea." Yi Yue blinked, Yi Xue held her own water cup, and everyone held a cup of herbal tea.

“I don’t really want to drink herbal tea,” Yixue said.

"What would you like to drink?" Yi Yue asked.

"I want to eat ice cream," Yixue said with a smile.

Yi Yue nodded: "Then wait for me here, I'll be right back." After saying that, she went to the convenience store not far ahead to buy ice cream.

Yixue smiled happily. She knew that if it were Reina, Yiyue would definitely tap Reina's forehead with her index finger and say that there was herbal tea, so why eat ice cream? Let's finish the tea first.

It wasn't that Itsuki didn't love Reina, but rather that she was more sensible than Reina.

"Dad listens to everything I say and never refuses me." Yixue looked to her left, as if looking at Reina sitting on the stone bench in the distance, and said with a blushing face, "Dad loves me the most."

Yi Yue bought an ice cream cone and returned quickly. It was a pink one, strawberry flavored.

"Here you go!" Yi Yue handed the ice cream to Yi Xue.

Yixue took it and licked it a few times.

Yi Yue smiled as she looked at Yi Xue.

Suddenly, Yixue pleaded, "Dad, have some too."

"Um, no need," Yi Yue declined, smiling. "Yi Xue, you can eat it yourself."

Yi Yue thought Yi Xue was concerned about him, and felt bad for letting him just watch Yi Xue eat ice cream on such a hot day.
