You are Toyokawa Shoko, then who am I?

However, just as she was immersed in the happy days of getting along with Takamatsu Deng in the future, she suddenly realized that Toyokawa Sho was still up there.

If the other party really lets go up like this, he is likely to see Toyokawa Sho helping with the cooking. Once he sees Toyokawa Sho, will he still be able to keep the opportunity to stay overnight today?

No!

Absolutely not!

Li Xi, who had come to his senses, quickly grabbed his father's clothes and stuffed his confused father back into the car with a red face.

Although it is a bit difficult to say this... Li Xi really doesn't want to miss this opportunity to stay overnight.

If I really miss this opportunity, how can I find another opportunity to be with Toyokawa Sho... No, I mean, that, yes, to get closer to Deng -

Ahhh what on earth am I thinking...!!

Li Xi covered her increasingly red cheeks.

Gao Songdeng, who was sitting next to him, noticed Li Xi's abnormality, so he picked up some dishes and put them in Li Xi's bowl, blinking his beautiful and clear eyes at Li Xi.

"……lamp……"

Li Xi's eyes shook, and he was slightly touched, but when he thought about how he was now viewing the lamp as an imaginary enemy, and thought about his unspeakable thoughts just now, Li Xi felt his head becoming more and more confused.

In the end she simply gave up thinking.

She just ate the food in silence, her earlobes still flushed a little.

Unlike the two girls who remained silent, Takamatsu Yuji spoke freely. He picked up a small cup of white wine, clinked the drink with Toyokawa Sho's, and expressed his feelings to Toyokawa Sho sincerely.

"I'm sorry, Toyokawa-kun. I was going to wait for my wife to come back and treat you guys to a nice meal, but they wouldn't approve my leave, so I made you work so hard to prepare this meal..."

When he heard that his wife would not be coming back, Takamatsu Yuji felt troubled. He wanted to make the most of this hard-won opportunity today and leave a good impression on his daughter's friends. For this purpose, preparing a sumptuous dinner was essential.

But it is hard to say.

Yuji Takamatsu is not good at cooking.

To be more precise, he is not good at anything related to housework.

When his wife first got together with him, she used to tease him, saying that he was good at singing, dancing, and even calligraphy, but why did he become so clumsy when it came to housework?

Takamatsu Yuji has not been able to find an answer to this question until now.

When he thought that he might mess things up, Takamatsu Yushi felt like sweating profusely. He was afraid that his daughter's hard-earned happiness would be cut short because of him. If that were the case, he would be resentful about it for the rest of his life.

So he embarrassedly found Toyokawa Sho, intending to say, "Uncle, I'll treat you to some takeout." However, when Toyokawa Sho heard that he couldn't cook, he asked him if he mind using the kitchen.

Takamatsu Yuji was stunned.

This boy has regular facial features, a calm and elegant appearance, and is particularly polite and well-mannered in his words and actions. He is both handsome and graceful, and can be said to be extremely dangerous.

In their previous era, it was definitely a campus legend that drawers were full of love letters, and even photos of eating and drinking would be leaked and sold at high prices.

But now this [campus legend] can actually cook?

This is too much of a fantasy product...

Are all kids nowadays so well-rounded?

Good-looking, tall, good character, considerate, and can even cook...

No, I'm just really curious.

What kind of parents can raise such outstanding children?

With this question in mind, Takamatsu Yuji witnessed the whole process of Toyokawa Sho walking into the kitchen.

With just a few strokes of his knife, he processed all kinds of complex and diverse ingredients to perfection. The Chinese kitchen knife that usually feels heavy was like a hovering butterfly with its wings spread in his hands, so light and graceful that it felt like watching a cartoon.

At that time, Takamatsu Yuji still had doubts.

But when he ate a piece of Toyokawa Sho's masterpiece, which was steaming and crystal clear, as if it was shining with light.

Takamatsu Yuji secretly made a decision.

This kid...

not bad!

As a parent myself.

It's time to think about my daughter's future.

"You're welcome. It's not hard for me. Deng usually helps me a lot. I'm very happy to cook a meal for her like today. Although it's really a pity that I can't taste Auntie's masterpiece, there will be opportunities in the future. Maybe I can eat it next time I visit Deng."

Toyokawa Sho said readily.

When Takamatsu Yuji heard this, his expression became even more satisfied.

It has to be someone who is eloquent. After all, Deng is not very good at speaking. If you find someone like this, you don’t have to worry about communication problems. Anything that Deng can’t say can be expressed through his mouth.

not bad.

Not bad indeed.

...But it seems a bit too far-fetched?

Takamatsu Yuji muttered to himself. Although he didn't hear clearly what Toyokawa Sho and the others were saying in the bedroom just now, it was obvious that the three children were getting along very well.

Since kindergarten, he had almost never seen Gao Songdeng talk to his peers as actively as he did today, and he was also willing to take out some of his treasured items and show them to others.

As a parent.

Yuji Takamatsu was very happy to see his daughter smile for the first time in a long time today.

He and his wife had no requirements for Gao Songdeng. They just hoped that this most precious and lovely child in the world to them could live a healthy and happy life.

No matter what path Takamatsu Deng wants to choose in the future.

As long as this is the child's true inner voice.

They will definitely do their best to support her.

This was something that Yuji Takamatsu and his wife had discussed in advance before Takamatsu Tomo was born.

It's just that Gao Songdeng's personality is really beyond their expectations. Although they have been accustomed to it for so many years, the young eagle will one day spread its wings to the blue sky, and the child will eventually leave his parents one day.

I could still be by her side for the three years of high school, but what would I do if she went to college in another city? What if she still had this bad temper and was not good at communicating with others?

Every night Takamatsu Yuji would worry about this and couldn't sleep. Couldn't there be a child of the same age to help Deng get over her personality?

And today, he finally saw a glimmer of hope.

light.

Just leave it to dad without worry.

You have never been so close to a boy before. Dad believes that you and him must have something in common.

Let’s not talk about whether to get married or not, you can try dating first, even if it’s just to be good friends.

No matter how.

Remember, remember, you can't let him get away like this.

"Toyokawa-kun,"

The middle-aged man, having made up his mind, patted Toyokawa Sho on the shoulder and said, "I saw you were busy just now. I wonder if you told your family about staying over tonight?"

"She told me if I did it again she would kick me out of the house."

Toyokawa Sho sighed.

"It seems your mother cares about you very much."

Takamatsu Yuji sighed.

"No, that's what my grandma said,"

Toyokawa Sho shook his head and smiled, "She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. It sounds like she's scolding me, but she's actually telling me to be careful."

grandmother?

Weren’t you raised by your parents?

Takamatsu Yuji was a little surprised, but he didn't delve into Toyokawa Sho's family problems. Instead, he continued with a smile and said, "That's all I need to know. I'll get you some quilts after dinner. Do you two prefer thicker quilts or thinner ones?"

"I want thick ones."

Toyokawa Sho said.

"Ah, me too."

Li Xi, who was concentrating on eating, was stunned for a moment and quickly gave an answer.

"It seems that you are afraid of the cold just like Deng."

Takamatsu Yuji smiled with a plan in mind, clapped his hands, and said naturally, "It just so happens that Deng's room is the warmest in the house. Why don't you rest in Deng's room today?"

"what……?"

There was a click.

Li Xi's chopsticks fell to the ground.

Wha…what do you mean…?

You mean, let me sleep with Xiang...! ?

Toyokawa Shoya was surprised by Takamatsu Yuji's shocking words.

Li Xi was fine, but as a man he would normally avoid such situations, so why did he include himself in it?

Takamatsu Deng didn't react much. The simple girl didn't understand anything complicated or profound.

Her attention was instead focused on the chopsticks that Li Xi dropped. She wanted to reach out and grab them, but unfortunately her hands were clumsy and she couldn't catch them. She had to squat down to pick them up, and when she stood up, she accidentally hit her head.

But she didn't cry out in pain. She just rubbed her head, then stood up and went into the kitchen to help Lixi wash the chopsticks.

When she came back, she was holding a plate of sliced apples. She gave one to Riki, one to Takamatsu Yuji, and finally one to Toyokawa Sho.

I can tell.

She is already working hard to entertain her friends.

Toyokawa Sho took the apple that Takamatsu Deng gave him and said to Takamatsu Yuji, "...Uncle, I'll just sleep in the living room."

"How can that be possible? Our living room gets very cold at night. What if you catch a cold?"

The despicable middle-aged man found a very suitable reason.

"It's okay. I'm in good health. I shouldn't be cold if I wrap myself in a blanket."

Toyokawa Sho chose to avoid it again.

He didn't understand why the man in front of him was so persistent. Normally, shouldn't he protect his daughter to the death? Why would someone rush to send his daughter to the mouth of a hungry wolf?

"Toyokawa-kun, you and Shiina-san are both friends of Deng. In other words, you are the most important guests in our house. As the host, I need to take responsibility for your personal health. I don't want even the slightest risk of catching a cold or getting sick to happen."

The middle-aged man waved his hand and used an iron-fisted approach to force the matter to be resolved.

Toyokawa Sho hesitated to speak.

He looked at the person sitting opposite him, whose cheeks were turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then he turned a little to the side and looked at Takamatsu Deng who was still eating in small bites.

After noticing the gazes directed at her, she subconsciously dodged, but after a while she mustered up the courage and tried to meet your gaze again. Her cheeks, as rosy and delicate as exquisite white porcelain jade, were slightly pink and soft like a girl. Although she didn't know why you were looking at her, she would still respond to your every move seriously.

"……All right."

Toyokawa Sho made a compromise.

It is said that he slept in Gao Songdeng's house.

In fact, I just slept on the floor in her room.

In other words, it wasn't a two-person siege that brought back some bad memories, it was just Li Xi sleeping next to him.

Yeah.

It's time to push Lixi's progress forward.

This time it was in the room with the lamp on. With Lixi's courage, I don't think she would do anything excessive.

She wouldn't push me down and kiss me all over like someone else would. At most, she would tease me for a few times and then look at me with aggrieved and restrained expression, wanting to do something but not daring to.

really.
