Fortunately, Qingye was a clean-cut man with no record of anything illegal in the past. He was young enough and had acquaintances to endorse him, so the process went smoothly.
As the two grown men spent more time together, their relationship naturally became closer. They even took time to play chess on the tram on the way back to the countryside. They felt like they were having a great time talking to each other and were like old friends.
But...now my father is still a childhood sweetheart!
The man whispered in his heart, after all, Caojie was his child who was raised by his father, and they had been friends for so many years, his old father would definitely not be easily shaken!
"Also, considering their relationship alone, Xingcai's behavior might not necessarily be a good thing."
The head of the family glanced at Qingye beside him, feeling gloating in his heart - most relationships between boys and girls during adolescence are very pure. There may be some differences in material and other conditions, but the feelings are still innocent, sincere and beautiful.
But when this kind of emotion is mixed with gratitude, it will be different. The relationship between the two will gradually tilt. Even if Xingcai doesn't care, the boy will have some concerns, which will become the first stumbling block in their relationship.
If one of them is not handled properly, the relationship between this guy and his daughter will definitely become distant.
After all, Qingye is just a little boy, and boys of this age will attach special importance to trivial things.
The old father has seen through the future!
Time flies.
A week later, Kiyono was walking alone on the street, looking at the brand new resident certificate and national health insurance card in his hands, feeling deeply moved.
After going through untold hardships, he finally became a member of the two-dimensional family!
From this moment on, I can fly freely in the sky and fish in the sea, and I will be free to do anything - I can even find a better internet cafe!
At this moment, Qingye's hand holding the ID suddenly froze.
A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from my mind.
[New identity information has been detected and successfully entered into the system. After this simulation is complete, it will be synchronized to reality as your reward.]
The corpse is talking!
Qingye widened his eyes. Does this mean that when he returns to reality, he will have an identity proof?
You did a great job!
Secretly giving Tongzi a thumbs up, Qingye put the two pieces of paper deep in his backpack, feeling happy.
Now it's time to deal with another matter.
"What kind of gift should I buy for uncle..."
Qingye touched his chin. He had to give gifts as a gift. One must have a conscience. Maybe Banai saw that his father was helping him for the sake of his daughter, but he still did his best for him, so he had to express his gratitude.
Even if your ability is limited now, you still have to express your attitude and let the other party know that you will always remember this favor. This is a matter of character.
As for Ba Nai meeting me... I have to give him a gift, but it can't be too formal. Being too serious will hurt the relationship. In fact, there are already some signs of this.
After thinking about it, he came to a conclusion.
"We still have to buy all the food!"
He was short of money now, so he could only show a little appreciation. After much thought, he realized that the only cheap thing that could be used as a gift was food.
Fortunately, he often hangs out with Banaijian, and through the influence of Banaijian, he is already familiar with all the nearby food stores.
Yanai, hearing his father's words, preferred tea, so he decided to buy a snack called yokan. Yokan is one of the most famous tea treats in Japanese tea ceremony and would make a perfect gift. The shop was located on the commercial street about 500 meters ahead.
As for the girl, she seems to be obsessed with strawberry jelly recently - the kind that is very cheap. I'd buy her a few different flavors and bring some snacks.
Having made a list in his mind, Qingye got on his bike and started shopping.
About an hour later, he came directly to Banaijian's door with the gift and rang the doorbell. It was strange that every time he came to Banaijian's house before, he always felt alienated like a guest, but now he inexplicably felt a sense of closeness to "home".
The door opened quickly, and a blue-haired beauty with a side ponytail stood at the entrance, her eyes gentle and a hint of a smile as she said:
"Ah, the children of the Yanai family are back."
"I am the second son of the Yanami family who came from Ueno to Edo to live with my sister. Please take care of me in the future." Qingye was very cooperative. He put down the plastic bag, took a few steps back and bowed. His voice was sharp and clear like a sword.
The blue-haired beauty's eyes lit up, and she quietly held her red cheek with one hand, as if she had returned to a hundred years ago and suddenly saw the young warrior who made her heart waver.
She was about to say something else when she was interrupted by another voice.
"Alright, alright, stop acting like a big river drama here!" Yanaijian jumped between the two of them and stiffly changed the subject. "Where's the stuff? Did you get it?"
Qingye smiled and nodded, walking in with ease, while the pillar of the family sat leisurely on the sofa, as if thinking about life.
"Uncle, I've really troubled you these days." Qingye took out the box of yokan and placed it on the table in front of him.
The old father took a look at the exquisite wooden box in surprise. He knew that it was not expensive, but he understood Qingye's meaning and felt quite relieved - some things give people completely different feelings when done and when not done.
For a moment, a hint of Favorability +5 vaguely appeared above the head of the head of the family.
"What about me? I'm the one who made the greatest contribution!" The blue-haired girl came up to him with a dissatisfied look on her face.
"Here's yours." Qingye coughed and handed her the plastic bag.
"It's the latest strawberry panna cotta!"
Ba Nai's eyes lit up when he saw it, as if he had found a treasure.
This guy... seems to know Xingcai's preferences very well?
The old father looked at Qingye.
"Ah, it's almost time to go to work. I'll say goodbye first." The alarm set on Qingye's mobile phone rang. He took it out and looked at the time and said hurriedly.
"I'll go with you." Banai followed naturally.
When Banai saw his father stand up, he subconsciously extended his hand, but finally sat down dejectedly. Don't ask him why he didn't offer to drive his daughter there himself. The answer is that he had already experienced a painful lesson yesterday.
*
The setting sun dyed the streets red. Banaijian walked on the orange sunset glow. The evening breeze came from afar, blowing the girl's black hair and skirt.
Qingye stood in front of the bicycle, put his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly, like an elegant butler welcoming a young lady on her journey.
"Please get in the car, miss."
Seeing this, Ba Nai paused and looked strange.
"Men are so fickle. In order to please women, they can be ronin samurai from the Edo period one second and become the steward of a chaebol family the next." The girl sighed.
"If you're willing to pay extra, I can even customize a character just for you."
"Are you a male host?!"
Banaijian sat in the back seat and grabbed the hem of his clothes with her little hands.
The setting sun stretched the girl's shadow to Qingye's right, and her round knees occasionally rubbed against his thigh.
Today, the bicycle seemed to have deliberately slowed down its speed. During the waiting time at the red light, spots of light were reflected from the glass curtain wall of the building opposite. Banai looked up at his profile and inexplicably didn't know what to say.
Qingye-kun...will you think too much?
Banaijian was the first to start to have wild thoughts. She actually knew very well that doing this would definitely cause a subtle change in their relationship. Although they had helped each other in the past, it had never risen to the level of family and parents like this time.
——Put yourself in his shoes. If she owed Qingye a favor, she would definitely feel guilty, and this emotion is the poison that cools the relationship.
But even though she thought of this at the time, she resolutely chose to do it.
Because she couldn't just leave it alone.
"Lately..." she muttered, trying to return to her usual relaxed demeanor. "You seem to be getting along really well with my dad?"
"Men are creatures who can become friends over a bottle of wine and a game of chess," Kiyono said cheerfully. "Of course, I'll also work hard to build a closer relationship with Miss Yanami."
This guy is three times more pretentious than usual!
Banaijian bit the hair rope with his fangs, and the scattered hair swept across his arms in the wind.
"Qingye-kun, stop the car for a moment. I'm a little hungry and want to go to the convenience store to buy something to eat!"
Something must be done!
Banaijian walked into the convenience store worriedly, bought a can of lemon tea first, and pretended to study the calorie table on the snack bag. The cold air was floating in the fast food frozen area next to him.
"Just buy this."
She picked up two bags of snacks and placed them on the cashier counter. She glanced at the sign on the wall saying "Supermarket Sale Day!", tilted her head to stare at Qingye, smiled brightly, pointed ahead, and said nonchalantly:
"It's a sale this week...would you like to come shopping together? If you help me carry the things, it'll be a way of repaying me."
The girl's idea was good. As long as she could find a reason for Qingye to repay her clearly and say a few witty words, they should be able to return to their previous way of getting along, but...
"No need to be so troublesome. Just tell me what you want to buy and I will deliver it to your door." Qingye smiled brightly.
It’s over. With such meticulous care, he really treats me as his benefactor!
What she wants is the stupid Qingye from before!
Banai's mouth twitched and his expression became uneasy.
Qingye took the initiative to pay for the snacks, and also thoughtfully added five skewers of oden and a meat bun for her. The girl bit the fish balls and ate the meat bun, and her inner anxiety became more and more serious.
When they got to the store, Qingye acted like a caring boyfriend. Amidst the strange looks from the senior sisters, he held her hand. She had accidentally cut herself yesterday and had a Band-Aid on her finger. He said:
"Miss Hanaijian, don't touch anything hot today."
The girl didn't know whether to smile or frown, and her expression was indescribable.
At this moment in the evening, Banaijian was completely unable to concentrate. Her eyes subconsciously fell on Qingye and she bit her cherry lips.
Could it be that... they are going to remain in this delicate state forever?
A feeling of anxiety came over me.
No, she didn't want this.
It was so hard to get closer to each other!
It turns out that I still have to speak the truth like before!
Thinking of this, the blue-haired girl took a deep breath, then walked straight to Qingye, grabbed his wrist with an amazing momentum that could not be refused, and brought him to the end of the corridor.
With a slap, Ba Naijian's little hand slapped the wall behind him, and her lake-blue eyes raised slightly as she looked up at him.
"Why……"
The tone gradually weakened.
She didn't know how to weave her emotions into the right words anymore.
She could understand Qingye's current mood. Qingye must be feeling uneasy, embarrassed, and wanting to return the favor - it was precisely because of her understanding that she couldn't say it out loud.
Tell Qingye not to care?
For someone who values emotions so much, it's impossible for him not to care!
Ahhh, why did things turn out like this...
The girl felt her eyes getting hot.
But at this moment, she suddenly heard a faint laugh.
Banai raised his head blankly and saw the boy in front of him with a malicious smile.
"Um...eh?"
Huh? Huh? Huh?
She finally realized something, her heartbeat quickened, shame and joy surged in her heart at the same time.
"This is a small token of my gratitude for your self-assertion."
Qingye patted her head gently, and the girl said "it hurts" in an exaggerated manner.
"What an idiot! Even if I wanted to repay a favor, I wouldn't do it this way. As a future great writer, you'll have your pick of models and celebrities. Maybe this operation will yield a 2000% return. That would be a huge profit."
The boy's exaggerated tone made her laugh.
That’s great, that’s great.
"Future rewards are in the future, so..."
Qingye turned his face away and coughed.
"You don't have to worry about affecting our relationship."
Like ripples on a lake caused by a spring breeze, Banai saw the eyes floating gently. She lowered her head slightly and hit the boy with her hand. The last ray of sunset light filled the corridor, and the shadows of the two overlapped.
"Ah."
