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

"Is that all?"

Izuki shook her head, and Makise said, "Doesn't it feel strange, like something you can't quite put your finger on?"

“Mm.” Yi Yue nodded.

Makise asked, "Does Tsuki hate this feeling?"

"Not really, I wouldn't say I dislike it," Yi Yue said.

"Do you like it?" Makise asked.

"How could I possibly like it!" Yi Yue said, finding it hard to accept even herself.

"Is this feeling of shame something that Yue can't quite put her finger on, and that makes her heart beat really fast?"

"Ah."

"Isn't that what liking someone means?" Makise said.

Yi Yue said, "Nonsense!"

“But doesn’t Ke Yue not dislike him? Her heart is beating fast, but that doesn’t mean she dislikes him. What else could it be but liking him?” Makise said.

Yi Yue didn't know how to refute it, so she simply said, "Anyway, it's not that I like it." She was very firm in her opinion.

"Then call out again," Makise said.

Yi Yue said, "Why are you still calling it? Didn't you already call it?"

“Since you don’t dislike Tsuki, it won’t hurt to call her that again,” Makise said.

"No, I already said I'd only say it once," Yi Yue protested.

“You called me that the first time, so what’s wrong with calling me that a second time?” Makise leaned closer to Izuki and whispered in his ear, “Izuki still likes it, but he doesn’t dare to admit it.”

“I already said I don’t like it!” Yi Yue said.

"Why doesn't Yue dare to call out?" Makise grasped the key point.

"But I said I'd only call you one..." Before Izuki could finish, Makise's finger was placed in front of her lips: "Why does Tsuki keep bringing this up?" He whispered in Izuki's ear, "Tsuki likes it, doesn't she?"

"no!"

"Then call out again, to prove it," Makise said with a smile.

Izuki was caught in a dilemma, having fallen into Makise's trap.

“Say it…” Makise whispered in her ear.

"I... my sister," Yi Yue finally said.

Makise curled the corners of his mouth. "Great! As Yue said, you've taken the first step. I plan to slowly boil Yue like a frog in lukewarm water and gradually teach him a lesson."

"Doesn't it feel a lot easier to say it out loud?"

"Yes, a little." Izuki still felt something was off. If Makise forced her to make a sound again, she would never agree.

Makise was well aware of Itsuki's thoughts, so he wisely stopped pressuring her to avoid a backlash.

"Makase, watch less anime and read more books," Itsuki whispered. "Making me dress like this and expecting me to call you 'older sister' is just too disgusting. It's really awful."

"Is it bad?" Makise touched Itsuki's cheek. "It's all because Itsuki messed up my brain."

Yi Yue's ears were a little red.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Dad, open the door!" Rena stood at the door and knocked hard.

Izuki panicked instantly.

Makise teased, "Does Tsuki want to show Rena what you look like?"

"Don't joke like that!" Yi Yue panicked. Seeing the photo was bearable, but for her daughter to see her in person was like a humiliating play, enough to make her want to die.

If they see this, how will I maintain my authority in front of my daughter?

"Go open the door." Yi Yue hurriedly hid in the bathroom and closed the door.

Makise smiled and went to open the door.

Rena said, "Mom, is there any water? My mouth is so thirsty."

"Yes." Makise went to get the mineral water.

Rena took the water and gulped down a big mouthful before she could recover.

"Where's Dad?" Rena asked, peeking into the room after finishing her water. Itsuki usually opened the door for her.

Makise glanced at the toilet, smiled, and said, "Dad is taking a shower."

"Oh." Rena nodded, not thinking much of it. "Is Dad so clean? He takes a bath in the afternoon and another one in the evening."

"Maybe your dad is just that clean," Makise said with a smile.

Chapter 135 Coughing

As Makise spoke, her eyes kept glancing towards the bathroom. Rena, oblivious to Makise's gaze, was about to return to her room when she said, "Goodnight, Mom."

Makise nodded: "Remember to go to bed early, don't stay up too late."

Rena said she understood, closed the door, and went back to her room.

Hearing the door close, Yi Yue finally came out of the bathroom.

Because she had just taken a shower, the toilet was very hot, and after a while, Yi Yue's forehead was covered in sweat.

Makise gently wiped the sweat from Itsuki's forehead: "Does Itsuki have to be so scared? She looks so cute like this. Wouldn't it be better to let Rena see her?"

Izuki glared at Makise, annoyed. He was the father; if Rena and the others saw him like this, what authority would he have left?

"Go to sleep early." Izuki was about to take off her clothes when her hand was grabbed by Makise's hand.

Makise said, "Tsuki should wear this outfit." She added seductively, "I've never tried wearing women's clothing with Tsuki before..." She leaned close to Tsuki's ear and whispered a single word.

Yi Yue blushed immediately: "You have a perverse sense of humor!"

"Does that moonlight like it?" Makise asked, bringing his face closer to Izuki.

"Hmm." Izuki was at a loss, while Makise teased Izuki and laughed happily.

……

Rena returned to her room, which was completely dark.

Rena originally wanted to turn on the light, but she was afraid of disturbing Yixue's sleep, so she used her phone's flashlight to walk to her bedside and glanced at Yixue in the next bed.

"Why go to sleep so early? Dad doesn't know. Who are you pretending for?" Rena muttered to herself. She took off her clothes, lay down on the bed, played on her phone in the dark for a while, felt sleepy, and slowly closed her eyes to fall asleep.

midnight.

Rena's lips were chapped and her throat felt itchy: "Water..." She woke up thirsty and reached for the bottled water on the bedside table.

Unfortunately, the water was all gone, leaving only an empty bottle.

Rena really wanted to get up and get a drink of water, but then she remembered that her parents were already asleep in the next room, and getting hot water from the kettle was too much trouble, so she could only hold back and lie back down in bed.

"Cough cough." Rena coughed, feeling extremely uncomfortable, like a sponge in the desert, slowly drying out and cracking without moisture.

The next day, Itsuki bought breakfast and delivered it to Reina's room.

"Rena, it's time to eat," Itsuki said.

Rena looked listless and gave a soft "hmm." Her voice was hoarse, forced out of her throat, and sharp like a duck's quack.

"Here you go!" Yi Yue placed the breakfast on the bedside table.

Rena grabbed the soy milk and started drinking it, and the soy milk in the bag quickly dwindled.

Yi Yue said, "Don't drink so fast, the soy milk is very hot."

But Rena had been thirsty all night, so she didn't care whether it was hot or not and drank it all in one go.

"Have a fried dough stick." Izuki grabbed a fried dough stick from the transparent bag and gave it to Rena.

The transparent bags were something Izuki asked the vendor for separately. Reina always likes to wrap her fried dough sticks in tissue paper when she eats them, which is very unhygienic, so she specifically asked for a few transparent bags.

Rena looked at the fried dough stick in her hand and felt like throwing up; it was so greasy and she didn't want to eat it at all.

"Cough cough." Rena coughed softly, her mouth still very thirsty, wanting to drink water.

"Dad, you've worked hard." After washing up, Yixue sat on the bed, picked up a fried dough stick, and brought it to Yiyue's mouth: "Dad, have some."

"No need, you can eat it." Yi Yue wanted to refuse, but seeing Yi Xue's disappointed look, she couldn't bear it and said, "Then I'll eat a little."

Yixue wanted to tear off a small piece, but gently grabbed Yiyue's hand: "Daddy, just take a bite, no need to tear it."

Yixue smiled and said, "I can tear it myself later, so Daddy's hands won't get oily."

Yi Yue hesitated for a moment, then took a small bite.

"Dad, eat some more," Yixue said.

"No need," Yi Yue waved her hand.

A voice came from outside the door: "Tsuki, come help me pack my things."

Today is the last day of the trip. I need to return the room key and pack all my belongings to take with me on the bus.

"You all need to pack your things yourselves. I'm heading over now," Yi Yue instructed.

"Yes, Daddy, don't worry," Yixue said obediently.

Rena's face flushed red, she covered her mouth, and coughed several times. She felt terrible, as if she was about to cough up her lungs.

Fortunately, after giving her instructions, Izuki turned around and didn't see Rena looking upset.

Rena didn't want Itsuki to know she was coughing, afraid he would scold her.

"Cough cough!"

After Izuki left, Rena coughed twice more, feeling like she had phlegm in her throat that she couldn't cough up.

Yixue ate the fried dough sticks in small bites, her face slightly flushed, and she smiled happily.
