I, Minami Kotori, Son of the Sun

It was already seven o'clock in the evening when Minami Saori returned home.

As a busy chairman, she does have a lot of work to deal with, and she gets home around seven o'clock every day.

Especially recently, the originally lifeless school has regained attention due to the active campus idols, and attracted a group of financial sponsors to sponsor the school.

If everything goes well for my daughter and her friends during the school festival at the end of October, this school should be able to continue.

She pushed open the door, took off her high heels, and looked inside: "I'm back."

It was pitch black and no one responded, and Saori felt a little disappointed.

As expected, the bird did not come back.

"It's so naughty." The mother bird was depressed. She couldn't understand when her well-behaved little bird became like this.

Logically, by this time she would have been enjoying the bird's cute "welcome back" and could smell the delicious food.

"Woo woo..." After remembering the obedient baby bird, she turned on the light. The living room became much brighter, which at least made people feel a little more at ease.

"Dear..." She looked at the big boy in a white suit in the photo album, shook her head, and walked towards the kitchen.

I'm very hungry.

Dinner was a rough sandwich made of vegetable leaves and luncheon meat from the refrigerator on two pieces of bread, a product of the great invention of the microwave oven.

"It's dry and not very tasty." She smacked her lips and complained about her cooking skills.

Now, she doesn't have the energy to make delicious food. Her house is not big, but she is alone now.

The clock hanging on the wall was ticking, and she leaned back on the sofa, watching the hands move intermittently.

But in my mind, I was only thinking about the guy whose life or death was unknown.

"In the past, he was the one who cooked." Saori bit the sandwich in her hand, which was just enough to keep her warm and had no taste at all, and couldn't help but think of the past.

In fact, she has never been good at cooking. She is a strong woman in other aspects, but she can't get into the kitchen.

It's not that she doesn't have self-awareness, but she just wouldn't accept it in the past.

It’s always on weekends when I’m bored, and I’d occasionally get the urge to make breakfast, and when the father and daughter smell the food, they’d know when to go and pretend to sleep.

He said that weekends were for sleeping in and he skipped every breakfast she carefully prepared.

"Two clever ghosts." Saori thought and laughed. Now that she thought about it, it was that stinky guy's fault that the bird became so naughty.

This stinky guy is really good at cooking. He can make any cuisine delicious.

She was probably attracted by the guy's cooking skills and his stomach - not because of his good looks and the fact that he was the ace of the Tokyo University football club, which charmed thousands of girls.

Saori was only 19 years old at the time. She had just entered college, but she was madly in love with Kotaro.

They were students of the same school, both top students at the University of Tokyo, except that 19-year-old Saori was a sophomore, while Kotaro was 24 years old and a doctoral student.

She was the one who pursued him. That day, she stuffed the love letter directly into Kotaro's hands, glared at him angrily, and waited for his reply.

Kotaro had never seen such a scene before. He was devoted to studying, but his heart was forcibly opened by a junior.

"That guy was such a loser at the time. He looked stunned and didn't say anything. I was so nervous and useless at the time. When I saw that the jerk didn't reply, I almost cried..."

After that, everything fell into place naturally. The stinky guy was unexpectedly simple-minded and not as unattainable as the outside world said.

"I only do this to you." That's what the guy said, right? He also had a silly smile on his face.

After two years of dating, a grand wedding, and the birth of Little Bird, a little girl who was so adorable.

The two innocent college students who had just graduated from campus were overwhelmed by the arrival of this new life.

Fortunately, Xiaoniao is very healthy and has inherited the advantages of both of their parents. She is simply a beauty, and her eyes and eyebrows still carry the heroic spirit of her father.

Xiaoniao was very happy until she was five years old. Every birthday, the couple would take her to travel around.

Unfortunately, what can a five-year-old remember? The memory only remains in the photos.

She came back to her senses, but her hands unknowingly took out the wrinkled exquisite photo album again.

When the bird was one month old, they went to the amusement park together and took photos with the pandas at the zoo. Haha, look at how proud the little one is riding her father.

They were so happy until the stinky guy disappeared, in the ocean.

The moment she received the notification, she felt as if the sky had fallen. Xiao Niao asked her what happened in a daze. She could only pretend to be calm and hug Xiao Niao to comfort her.

"Dad is on a business trip abroad. He won't be back for a while."

She indeed expected so.

How I wish the stinky guy would appear in front of the mother and daughter with a hearty smile and say it was just a little joke.

But I never thought that this joke has not ended after ten years.

Kotaro's disappearance brought a series of problems. She had to bear the family expenses. Eating out every day was expensive and unhealthy - so she had to start learning how to cook.

As mentioned before, she knew she was not cut out to cook, but she had no choice but to do it. She was a mother and she would never let her lovely daughter go hungry.

After practicing dozens or even hundreds of times, I was finally able to master the simplest home cooking, even though the little bird always made a bitter face and said it tasted bad.

"I want to eat my dad's food." The little bird at that time made her feel both embarrassed and cute.

Outside of work, she worked hard to hone her cooking skills, and was able to eventually improve her original Breaking Bad cooking skills to normal levels.

At some point, the little bird stopped asking for his father's food.

Eight years old? Or nine? She couldn't remember, but when she came to her senses, the noisy little guy would become quiet every time they ate.

After all, she is the daughter of two top students and is extremely smart. She must have guessed the truth that she had buried for many years.

"My dear, haven't you had enough of the joke? Isn't it time to come back?"

"Your daughter is already this old, can you bear it and not come back to see her once?"

As I mentioned before, she is a strong woman and rarely cries.

But this time, she couldn't suppress the sadness in her heart.

Just at this moment, the cell phone rang, beeping, bringing Saori back to reality.

"It's so late, who could it be?" I picked up the phone and saw that it was Xiaoniao.

Spending the night out again?

Saori became increasingly frustrated, but she managed to calm down, forced out a smile, and cleared her hoarse throat. As a mother, she couldn't let her daughter worry: "Little Bird, what do you want to tell me?"

"Mom! I, I found a girl!"

"what?"
