Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

?

Yui's house.

In the living room.

Mrs. Yuigahama patted the seat next to her and invited her, "Come here and sit with me~"

"I'll just sit here."

Su Qing did not agree, but just sat opposite her, which seemed to make her dissatisfied, and her delicate baby face puffed up.

"Am I no longer attractive because of my age? Really, the kid's father praised me as an 18-year-old girl just yesterday..."

Mrs. Yuigahama said gloomily.

"What uncle said is of course true, but if we want to discuss Yui's situation, it should be more convenient to meet face to face, right?"

Looking at the face of the person opposite him that did not match his age and his figure that revealed a mature charm, Su Qing showed a very sincere attitude.

"Hmm - you are really good at talking, kid." Mrs. Yuigahama covered her mouth and chuckled twice, then her expression gradually became serious:

"How is Yui...doing in school lately?

“In my opinion, whether it is club activities or studies, she has been very attentive during this period.

Although she did not serve as a committee member in the sports festival some time ago, she still shared a lot of work with Yukinoshita.

So...she is working hard, you can rest assured."

Recalling the changes in Yui since the start of school, Su Qing couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"That's right, but... sometimes it's because you work too hard that people worry about you."

Mrs. Yuigahama covered her face with her hands, her eyes filled with worry.

"She should know her limits, and I will remind her not to try too hard."

Su Qing smiled, trying to dispel the other party's worries.

He could understand where she was coming from.

Man and bow are the same.

The process of [effort] is actually the process of pulling the string.

Everyone wants to play the string as full as possible, but often overlooks the fact that once the string deformation exceeds its upper limit.

It's not just that the arrow cannot be shot out, it will also hurt yourself.

[Actually, that’s not what I’m talking about…]

Mrs. Yuigahama muttered to herself, then covered her mouth and smiled evilly:

"Is Yui secretly looking for a boyfriend at school?

Although she tells us almost everything, there are always some things that are obvious to girls.”

"Boyfriend? Probably not. She's mostly with me or Yukinoshita."

After being stunned for a while, Su Qing replied.

"Really? That child is so innocent, is it true that she was not deceived by the scumbag?"

Maybe it's an illusion.

Su Qing felt that when Mrs. Yuigahama said this, her eyes were fixed on his face.

It was as if she was trying to find some kind of flaw in his facial expression.

"Of course not. You can rest assured about that."

Su Qing flatly denied it.

Should have known.

He is undoubtedly the man who has the closest and most contact with Yui.

If there really is such a scumbag, he must be the first major suspect.

Is he a scumbag?

should……

isn't it?

Seeing that Su Qing's expression didn't change and his tone was as calm as ever, Mrs. Yuigahama breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she became concerned about another more important issue:

"So... Yui, has she ever been bullied or excluded by her classmates at school?"

Bully?

Who dares to bully Yui with him around?

really weird……

Su Qing himself didn't know why such a thought came to his mind in the first place.

"As far as I know, there shouldn't be any. The classmates and teachers in the class like her very much."

Su Qing shook his head and said.

"Really? That's good..."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yuigahama's expression was visibly relaxed.

Because of nervousness, a few drops of sweat slowly flowed down the corners of his forehead.

“Huh—you see how careless I am. You should be thirsty after talking so much, right?

I'm really sorry, can I have some tea?"

"It won't be so troublesome..."

Su Qing wanted to refuse, but Mrs. Yuigahama seemed to be just asking for his opinion symbolically.

In fact, no matter what he said, the other party would not stop moving his hands, so Su Qing simply stopped wasting words.

"Yui, that child, has been very cute and sensible since she was young.

When she was in kindergarten, she would wait for her father to come home from get off work and shout, "Dad, you're back~"

I still remember that the child's father was so moved that he burst into tears on the spot, and he kept saying things like 'For Yui, I'm willing to work overtime until I die'."

While making tea for Su Qing, Mrs. Yuigahama suddenly started chattering about Yui's past.

[So the whole family is stupid...]

[So Yui's stupidity is hereditary?]

Thinking of the other party's performance in Yui's room just now, Su Qing couldn't help but think so.

"When she was in primary school, she knew how to help me with some housework.

Look, I still have the photo of her mopping the floor and getting herself dirty."

Mrs. Yuigahama said this and opened the photo album of "My Precious Daughter" on her cell phone and quickly found the photo she was talking about.

There is only one little girl in the photo - it is Yui when she was a child, which is easy to identify.

She still had her hair tied in that cute bun, showing her two adorable little fangs to the camera, smiling happily.

But 90% of the white clothes were stained.

Looks dirty.

Ok……

It's also very annoying to end up like this just by mopping the floor.

"Isn't it cute?" Mrs. Yuigahama looked gentle and rubbed the screen gently.

As if this could help wipe the stains off her daughter's clothes.

——Evidently, I had already washed it for her at that time.

"You are such a lovely and good kid, why can't you find true friends since you were young?"

Mrs. Yuigahama cast her gaze towards Yui's room, her tone still gentle, but with a hint of sadness.

“When playing house with friends of the same age, other children can play the roles they want, but do you know what she played?

It’s actually a puppy! ..."

When she said this, Mrs. Yuigahama smiled bitterly.

“When she was in middle school and high school, she would often share her interesting stories at school with us, but she never mentioned what happened between her and her friends.

Obviously... I often go out with friends.

So I'm really worried whether this child will be the same as before after going to college.

But starting from this semester...everything seems to be different."

Turning her gaze away, Mrs. Yuigahama looked at Su Qing meaningfully.

"Well, she's made friends that are trustworthy enough to even stand up for her."

What Su Qing was talking about was naturally Yukino.

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Mrs. Yuigahama opened her mouth in surprise.

"It was this afternoon after school, actually."

"I see... I won't ask for details. But I want to know, does the trustworthy [friend] you mentioned include yourself?"

Mrs. Yuigahama blinked and spoke expectantly.

"…If I were there when she was playing house, I would never let her play a role she didn't want to play."

Unexpectedly, Su Qing did not simply answer "yes" or "no".

"That's a really cunning answer... The past can't be touched upon, what do you think?"

Mrs. Yuigahama shook her head slightly, and she seemed not very satisfied with the answer.

"..."

After a long silence, Su Qing spoke slowly, as if it was a promise, a promise to himself:

"If I were here, I wouldn't let her be 'bullied' like before."

“Pfft, kid, I was just joking, why are you so serious all of a sudden?

Oh... But you looked surprisingly handsome when you made the promise just now. If I didn’t already have a father, maybe..."

Mrs. Yuigahama burst out laughing, her tone teasing.

But he was still secretly observing Su Qing's reaction.

Ok……

No reaction.

very good!

He is worthy of being the boy that my precious daughter likes!

I can rest assured now~

Mrs. Yuigahama smiled brightly, then checked the time on her phone and said in a surprised tone:

"Speaking of the kid's dad, he's almost off work now, so I have to go get ready to pick him up... and we've already been chatting for fifteen minutes, so I'll excuse myself first."

After saying that, Mrs. Yuigahama stood up and was about to go out. Out of politeness, Su Qing followed her to the entrance.

While putting on her shoes, Mrs. Yuigahama suddenly turned around and gave Su Qing a playful smile:

"Arnold... Even though there are only three of you at home, you can't go too far~

If it's just a hug or something, the child's father and I will allow it... I think so."

……

Su Qing was patient and just nodded without caring what the other party said.

After finally seeing her off, just as Su Qing turned around, the door was suddenly opened again.

As expected, it was Mrs. Yuigahama.

"Oh, I forgot to talk about the main thing. If you have time, you can come to our house more often. I think the child's father will like you very much too... I think!"

After saying this, the door was closed again.

And Su Qing waited for three minutes and the door was still not opened, then he turned around with relief.

But on the way back to the room, he suddenly fell into deep thought:

and so.

Why did the other party emphasize "should" twice?

……
