that touch of blue

Chapter 35

Xiaoxin's gaze was attracted by a man outside the window, and as his figure moved, Xiaoxin's hungry gaze also moved, and Zhanlan followed her gaze.The man was wearing a white shirt, with silver-white hair, unrestrained eyes, and a fierce expression. He pushed open the door of the dessert shop: "Old lady, I'm back."

Then he saw the two girls he met at the alley a week ago. The girl with short hair looked at him in surprise, while the girl with long hair blinked her blue eyes.At that time, because the girl closed her eyes, she didn't realize that her eyes were so beautiful, like a blue sky.

The man frowned: "Hey, woman, don't look at me like this."

"Ren!" The proprietress came out of the cake room, holding a large piece of cut matcha cake in her hand, and gently placed it on the blue table, "You can't be so rude to the guests."

"Shut up, old woman." Ya Jiujin turned around and scolded in dissatisfaction.

"Beautiful sister, you actually have such a big son." Zhan Lanyan quickly dug a piece of cake and put it on her plate, because she knew that if she was late, the cake would be divided up. Xin looked distressed at the empty cake tray, and then at the cake on Brother Xianichiro's plate. Zhanlan covered her mouth and smiled, but she was afraid of tearing the wound.Yajiujin turned around and gave Zhanlan a hard look, but Zhanlan didn't make any reaction, she still dug the cake and put it in her mouth, and still flirted with the proprietress.

Akutsu Yuki obviously liked the little girl in front of him very much, and said with a smile, "Yes, Ren is my son."

Xiaoxin tugged at Zhanlan's sleeve, Zhanlan turned her head and only heard Xiaoxin say: "Lanlan, if it wasn't for him last time, I guess we both would have finished playing." After hearing the meaning of Xiaoxin's words, Zhanlan She froze for a while, she always wanted to find the life-saver Xiaoxin told her at that time, but she never expected to meet him in such a situation.

When Yajiujin was about to turn around and leave, Zhanlan stopped him: "Yajiujin-kun, please wait."

"Don't order me, woman." Although Ya Jiujin's tone was very abusive, he still stopped in his tracks. He wanted to know what Zhan Lan wanted to tell him.

"Ajiujin-kun, thank you for saving my life. If it wasn't for you, I might not be alive anymore." Zhanlan stood up sincerely and respectfully bowed at ninety degrees. Ajiujin didn't know what to do Standing there in embarrassment, although he has experienced many ups and downs, no one has ever treated him with such respect.

"Xiaolan, what are you talking about?" Yuuki was dumbfounded by Zhanlan's respect, did Ren do anything?

Sanada wanted to understand why Akutsu appeared at Tokyo General Hospital on the day of Zhanlan's accident: "Thank you for saving my sister, Akutsu."

"Is she your sister?" Yakutsu was taken aback again. He never expected that such a cute little girl would be the vice head of the Tennis Department of Lihai University and the younger sister of Genichiro Sanada, known as the "Emperor" in the middle school tennis world. .

"It's very different. I said that my brother should change his facial expression more. If he continues like this, he won't be able to marry his sister-in-law in the future." Zhan Lan said with a smile, ignoring the strong cooling function of the Sanada air conditioner.Genichiro Sanada was stunned. At first, he was called Brother Genichiro, and later he was called Brother, but now he is called Older Brother. What does that mean?Has she already recognized his brother?

Yukimura guessed Sanada's changes thoroughly. Zhanlan has already occupied such an important position in Sanada's heart. It seems that he attaches great importance to Zhanlan, a hard-won sister.

Ordinary people say that a woman's sixth sense is very good. This sentence is very philosophical.

Separated from Sanchakou, Sanada, Zhanlan and Xiaoxin walked in the direction of Sanada's mansion.The closer they got to the house, the more uncomfortable the atmosphere became. Only the lights in the living room of the main house were on, and there were many figures moving around. Could something have happened?Sanada and Zhanlan glanced at each other, and they both understood their inner thoughts.

Pushing open the door, the blue mobile phone was placed on the low table. The old man looked at the phone with a pale face and said nothing, while Sanada Moriyoshi and Seiichiro sat on the cushions with regretful faces. I looked at Genichiro Sanada.

"Grandfather, we are back." Sanada said softly, fearing that the tense atmosphere would explode.

"Ah. Lanlan, sit down, Genichiro, Xiaoxin, please sit down too." The old man raised his head, and Zhanlan suddenly felt that the old man was ten years older.

The three of them knelt and sat opposite the old man tremblingly, not daring to make any sound.

"Lanlan, tell grandpa the truth, is your father still alive?" The old voice echoed in the living room, and Zhanlan was startled. Could it be that grandpa discovered something?Xiaoxin clasped her hands tightly. Although she didn't fully understand every word, she could probably guess what the old man meant.

"Grandpa...I..." Zhan Lan turned to her uncle and the eldest brother for help.

Under the majestic gaze of the old man, the two dared not make any moves: "Lanlan, don't look at this Shouyi, you, look at Grandpa, look into my eyes, and tell me, is your father really dead?"

The old man's voice made Zhanlan's heart "plop" and her hands were trembling. How should she answer her grandfather's question? Could it be that Grandpa really knew the truth they wanted to hide.Zhan Lan looked up at his grandfather, the old man's eagle-like sharp eyes showed a sad expression, he knew his guess was right when he saw his granddaughter's reaction, the youngest son really left his old father, he lost his wife in middle age, Losing his son, he has tasted all the pain in the world.

"Grandpa?" Zhan Lan panicked, and muddy tears flowed from her grandpa's eyes. She walked around the low table and knelt down in front of her elderly grandfather, "Grandpa, although Dad is gone, he left behind Mom and me to replace him." Your father in heaven is here to honor you and take care of you, as well as Uncle Shouyi, Aunt Kiko, Brother Seiichiro, Brother Genichiro, Butler Fujido, and so many people who care about you. Father in heaven will be happy to see it of."

"Really?" The old man stroked his granddaughter's soft black hair with his right hand, and when he saw her blue eyes, he thought of Mieko and Chengyi, "I received a call from your mother today, and she invited me to Shanghai .”

"Mom's phone number?" Zhan Lan raised her head and asked.

"Yes." The old man nodded kindly.

"After you left, I went to tidy Lanlan's room, and then I heard the phone ring, and the word "Mom" was displayed on it. I guessed that it was your mother calling from China. I was afraid that your mother would be worried, so I picked up the phone. , when father knew it was your mother's call, he asked to talk to her, just like that, after the call was hung up, father just sat there without saying a word, it frightened me, so I quickly called Shouyi and Seiichiro Come back." Noriko Sanada explained what happened.

"If I don't know about this from Xiao Ran, how long are you going to keep it from me?" The old man got angry when he mentioned this matter.

All the members of the Sanada family were silent and lowered their heads one after another. At this time Xiaoxin spoke up, expressing her opinion in broken Japanese and sign language: "Grandpa Sanada, the reason why uncles and others are hiding from you is like we are hiding from Zhan. It's the same with Auntie Lanlan's injury, their starting point is that they are afraid that you will be sad and sad. But I know they will always choose an appropriate time to tell you."

"Is that so?" The old man asked after his anger subsided a little.

"Mmm, um." The four heads nodded desperately.

"Okay, I can't blame you for this matter. Come on, Lanlan, your mother said your father has something for me, right?" The old man pulled his granddaughter to sit beside him.After all, the deceased is gone, and the most important thing now is his little granddaughter who has been lost and recovered.

"Well, it's in my room, I'll get it." Zhan Lan nodded, got up and went back to the room to get the book at the bottom of the travel bag.

Watching Zhanlan leave, Xiaoxin found that everyone present except the black-faced god uncle turned their eyes from Lanlan to her.She lowered her head and said nothing.Patriarch Sanada looked at Xiaoxin, nodded thoughtfully, Moriyoshi Sanada and his wife looked at each other and smiled, Seiichiro Sanada and housekeeper Todo looked at each other, and turned their heads away at the same time knowingly.

"Hey, thump..." The voice coming downstairs freed Xiaoxin from the desperate situation. Xiaoxin looked at Zhanlan gratefully, her eyes seemed to swallow Zhanlan up, and Zhanlan shuddered.

Zhanlan put the things in her hand on the table, a large photo album, the cover of the photo album is two very cute dolls, opened the first page of the photo album, there is a row of Japanese, and a row of Chinese: "Give it to my father. "

Looking at the familiar font, the old man smiled, but Zhan Lan saw that his hand was trembling as he stroked the words written by his father, scribing word by word, as if he was touching his son's face.

On the second page, there is a photo of a newborn baby. The baby in the swaddle is sleeping soundly, immersed in her sweet dreams. On the back of the photo is a piece of yellowed letter paper. The old man unfolds the letter paper and reads every word. Writer: Dear Dad, this photo is Lan Lan, my daughter with Ran Ran.Lanlan was born in the season when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. She will be a beautiful girl when she grows up. She has inherited my blue eyes and her mother's black hair. We will take a photo every year on her birthday. Zhang's family portrait will be given to her as a dowry when she gets married.Dad, you will definitely bless her.My son in distant China wishes you good health.

Turning it over again, it is a black and white family portrait. The young men and women who are new parents are holding their sleeping daughter and smiling happily in front of the camera.Since then, behind every family portrait is a letter from the son to his father, expressing the son's longing for and concern for his father word by word with the vigorous pen.

The old man flipped through the pages and took out letters one by one. Occasionally, a few childish handwritings appeared on the letters. The old man seemed to be able to imagine his son writing his granddaughter in Japanese with his hands. happy smile.On page No.15, one of the main characters in the photo was missing. The mother and daughter were sitting sadly back to back. The old man understood that his son died at this time, but unexpectedly he could still take out a letter from the back , but there are some faint water stains in the letter, the handwriting has changed, it is no longer strong and powerful, it is much more feminine, and a lot rounder: Dear Dad, when you read this letter, you must feel strange, why I gave it to you? You write because Chengyi went to another world two months ago, Dad, please don’t be sad, making you sad is the last thing Chengyi wants to see, and we are also sorry for what happened 15 years ago Sorry, Dad, I'm sorry for making you sad.Lanlan and I had a good life. Chengyi said before he died that he wanted to go back to Kanagawa to visit you and your brother. I decided to let Lanlan go to Japan to fulfill her father's last wish when she graduated from junior high school.Dad, if you can't accept me, then please accept Lan Lan, she is Cheng Yi's only blood left in this world.Dad, Zhanran wishes you good health in distant China.

The eyes of the old man were wet. He gently turned the last page and took out the letter behind. This is the first time I write a letter in Japanese. ^_^, Dad often mentioned to me that Kanagawa is my hometown, I yearn for it very much, I yearn for Kanagawa where my parents fell in love.My mother asked me to go to Japan to fulfill my father's last wish after graduation this year. I am very happy because I can see my grandfather. Xiaoxin next door always tells me how good her grandfather is, which makes me very envious.Grandpa, you will be very kind to Lanlan too, haha.My father always said that my eyes are as blue as the sea in Kanagawa. I really look forward to seeing the blue sea with the same color as the blue eyes.Grandpa, you are waiting for Lanlan to come to you in Kanagawa, you can't go to other places, you must wait for me.Grandpa, Lan Lan wishes you good health and a long life in distant China.
