Once

If you don't like Angel, there's no need for us to recognize each other! After finishing speaking, Yuuri curled his lips a little aggrieved, and Victor realized that something was wrong, and after a long while, he said: "Sorry, I am troublesome. "

"Just figure it out, and don't bother me in the future."

"I know...it's getting late, go to sleep, I'll take you to the airport tomorrow."

"Well, sorry to trouble you, good night."

Yuuri turned and ran quickly into his room, closing the door behind him.

Viktor sighed, and then sat down on the stool. The computer page displayed a notification that a certain file was being processed. If Yuuri knew Russian, he would know that it was actually the page of an authoritative paternity testing institute in St. Petersburg.

Then Victor turned on his phone, found the name of the editor-in-chief of "World on Ice", and sent him a text message: Andre, about 5 years ago, your magazine invited someone who looked like me Is it a female reporter?I did an interview with Japanese player Yuri Katsuki.

It was already late by then, so Andre didn't get back to him in time, and Victor turned off his phone, thinking, no matter what, he had to figure it out.

The ten-day trip to St. Petersburg ended quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Yuuri and Angel were about to leave.

Yuuri got up early in the morning to make breakfast, and when Victor woke up, he saw Angel sitting at the table eating grilled fish, and affectionately called him "Uncle Xiao Wei".Victor touched her little head. Today, Angel's curly hair was loose, with a small silver headband, and her bangs were combed up.

Yuuri just finished making breakfast, so he also greeted him: "Good morning, Victor."

Victor said, "Morning, what did you do today?"

"It's grilled fish, it's delicious." Angel said.

"Eat quickly, or you will miss the plane." Yuuri put the breakfast on the table and sat down, and handed Victor a pair of chopsticks.Victor took a peek at Yuuri's face, the man's expression was indifferent, neither sad nor happy.

The children don't know the turmoil between the two adults, Angel talks to herself, and occasionally Victor and Yuuri will answer a sentence or two.After breakfast, Victor was in charge of taking them to the airport, and Yuuri didn't take the initiative to speak to him along the way.

He is just a hard and stubborn clam shell, sinking in the depths of the sea, it looks inconspicuous, but he always refuses to let others see the soft clam meat and round pearls inside.

Victor sent them all the way to the boarding gate, and just before going in, Yuuri spoke, bowed, and said, "Victor, thank you for the past few days, just send them here." On Angel's little head, Angel followed suit, and said solemnly: "Thank you Uncle Victor, I'm really sorry for causing trouble these days."

"Does Angel like St. Petersburg?" Victor knelt down and grabbed her two little hands, "If you leave, will you miss Uncle Wei?"

"Angel likes Uncle Xiao Wei, and also likes St. Petersburg." The little girl walked forward, her eyes were watery immediately with well-developed tear glands, and Victor hugged her, "Then I will have a chance to play with Dad again, okay? "

"Okay, next time I will bring my grandparents and aunt."

"Uncle Victor's current house is too small to fit in. It seems that we need to buy another big house."

Angel immediately burst into laughter, "It's good that Uncle Xiaowei comes to our house. Our Utopia Hot Spring in Hasetsu is very famous, and the hot spring can accommodate many people."

"Then uncle will come to play with you next time, okay?"

"Okay." Angel held out her little finger to him, and the two hooked their fingers together. Victor said, "That's a deal."

"Ok!"

Then he stood up and looked at Yuuri, who was wearing a scarf around his neck and a black wool hat with protruding corners that looked like cat ears.

Yuuri thought he should say something, after all, he might not have such an opportunity for a long time, but he didn't know what he should say.

Thousands of words, whether it is hard or happy, before the day when he insisted on concealing the truth, he and Victor were two people who had nothing to do with each other.

Victor took the initiative to give him a firm hug, and said, "After hugging Angel, I want to hug Angel's father too."

Yuuri was a little surprised at first, but he was relieved after hearing this.

Forget it, anyway, I don't know when the next time we will meet again. Thinking of this, he raised his arms and hugged the other party back, and felt the warmth and strength from the other party.Some things, some people, he has been longing for for a long time, but he dare not expect to get more. However, in the past few days, although he has had anxiety and panic, in general, he is still happy and satisfied.

I love you, Victor, you idiot, do you know.

Neither of them spoke. This kind of scene is nothing special at the airport, so no one noticed the three of them. After a long time, Yuuri took the initiative to let go.

"It's getting late, we're leaving." He took Angel's hand again, and Victor said, "Well, have a safe trip."

The two of them made it to the gate, showing their passports and boarding passes to the gatekeepers, and Yuuri turned around to see Viktor standing there alone, watching him.

There were people coming and going at the airport, but his figure seemed so lonely.

He had no choice but to pull out a bright smile, waved his hands and said, "Goodbye."

Viktor waved at him with a smile too, and then Yuuri turned away, striding forward with flying steps and telling himself not to look back.

That was not his place, there was no place for him in St. Petersburg.

After sending Yuuri and the others away, Victor returned home alone.

The house is still generally tidy, the laundry has been collected long ago, and the flowers in the vase in the corner have been replaced with another bouquet, which is the sunflower that Victor likes very much.

He threw the keys on the coffee table, and was not used to this kind of silence for a while.

It's just a few days, why do you feel as if you have witnessed the trajectory of the second half of your life, and why do you feel that your chest is empty, as if nothing can fill it.

At this time, the editor-in-chief of "World on Ice" called him and said that he had no idea that there was such a person in the magazine.

"The reporter who interviewed Katsuki Yuuri is still in our magazine, but it's a man, he still remembers it," the other party said, "Besides, the beauty who looks like you, I must have chased her long ago, If there is such a person, wouldn't I know?"

"Then I see, thank you."

After the two chatted for a few words, Victor hung up the phone. Yuuri Katsuki was talking nonsense, and there was no doubt that the man was lying to him.

Then just at this moment, his doorbell rang, and Victor opened the door.The other party was a courier who sent him a sealed document.After closing the door, he immediately opened the bag somewhat roughly, and pulled out a document in black and white from inside, and then he stood in the aisle and read the results written in the report.

After a while, he raised his head abruptly, and the thin sheets of paper tightly held in his hands were instantly crumpled by him.

Victor, Victor, what a fool you are!he said to himself.

On the other hand, Yuuri and his daughter returned to Hasezu smoothly after a few hours of plane journey, so life returned to normal, Angel went to kindergarten, and Yuuri went back to work in the ice castle.

Victor's name came up in their lives for a moment, and then disappeared.

Yuuri only knows that he recently announced his temporary retirement, and the date of his return is uncertain. Angel seems to have secretly exchanged social network contact information with him, so he occasionally sees the two of them video chatting, but Yuuri rarely participates.

Then, about a few days later, Yuuri suddenly received a call from Angel, saying that Victor had come.

Yuuri didn't have class at the time, he was just practicing on the ice rink, and he ran back quickly after receiving the call.Victor brought a bunch of luggage and sat in the hall with a smile on his face, eating pork chop rice and drinking tea.

"Victor, are you here?"

"Yeah, Angel invited me to play, don't you remember?"

Angel was giggling next to him, Yuuri was a little dazed, but he was happy anyway, and then his mother said, "Yuuri, please take Vi to his room, oops, but there doesn't seem to be a suitable place right now. "

Yuuri's father said, "Why don't you just live in the banquet hall, and Yuuri can clean it up."

"Well, yes!"

Then Yuuri moved Victor's luggage to the banquet hall. The room was a bit old and there were quite a lot of clutter. He put down the things and said, "Sorry, I hope you don't mind."

"Why, this room looks classic and comfortable."

"That's fine if you like it."

"Well, Yuuri, it's rare that it's just the two of us now, so we need to have a whisper."

Angel stayed in the lobby watching TV with Yuuri's parents, and when he didn't follow, Victor stood up and closed the door, leaving only Yuuri and Victor in the narrow aisle vacated by the debris.

"Yuuri, I have something to ask you."

"Hey, what's the matter?"

Viktor stretched out a hand, and suddenly pushed Yuuri to the door, then he slowly took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket, and held it to Yuuri's eyes.

"This is the English version I specially prepared for you. Would you like to read it, eh?"

Yuuri didn't know why, but his eyes fixed on the report next to him.
