Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

?

Su Qing really left.

Until the end, he couldn't see the expression on the girl's face, but in the faint light, he seemed to see some liquid flashing.

That night, Su Qing left the apartment dragging a light suitcase.

He always seemed to do things in such a decisive manner, even his luggage was very little, as if he was always ready to leave at any time.

The flight back to the mainland was available at 10 o'clock that evening.

But Su Qing didn't buy it.

His flight was booked for seven o'clock the next day.

Even in the dead of winter, it would be almost daybreak at that time.

So Su Qing had nowhere to go at this time, or he could find a youth hostel to experience it. It was his first time in Tokyo, and there were many things that other people wanted to do but had not done yet.

But Su Qing didn't.

He just dragged his suitcase and stood alone in front of a small park not far from his apartment.

This was where he and Mahiru first met.

There were endless pedestrians coming and going, but Su Qing stood there like a dull statue.

Not moving at all.

As if waiting for someone.

He was indeed waiting for someone.

But I don't want to wait.

When I picked up the phone again, the flashing 22.30 on the screen was particularly dazzling.

Su Qing turned off his phone and looked somewhere, but there was no one there.

After thinking for a long time, he left the park with his suitcase.

……

"Yui, do you want an apple?"

In another apartment building, Yuigahama China held up a big red apple in her hand and asked Yui who was sitting on the sofa with a smile.

"Is it sour? If it's sour, I won't eat it."

Yui glanced at it casually and said.

Some apples taste sour and are not sweet at all.

The girl doesn't like eating very much.

She still prefers to eat fruits like cantaloupe, just like Mahiru, Yukino, and countless ordinary girls who like sweet and cute things for no reason.

"Oh, baby, you said it's too late, look, I've already cut it~"

In about a minute, Yuigahama Chiana came out of the kitchen holding a bowl full of apple pieces.

The beautiful woman frowned slightly, looked at the apple with a troubled expression, and talked to herself in a slightly exaggerated voice.

"It's bad. I can't finish all these apples by myself. They won't taste good the next day. What should I do?

Oh, it would be nice if there were some kindhearted people who could help me share some of the burden at this time."

Yui didn't even look at it, unmoved.

"Ah? A kind-hearted person? Dad will beat you to death!

It's terrible. I think it would be better if you give it to dad, or he will get jealous."

"Your father has fallen asleep. He's been too tired from work these past two days, so it's just us, mother and daughter, who have to eat together~"

Yuigahama China said as she sat next to Yui, and she spoke into the latter's ear in a strange and malicious tone.

"Daughter, you don't want to..."

"I'll eat, I'll eat. Mom, please don't tease me."

Yui smiled bitterly and took it.

"Eating more apples can supplement vitamins... huh?"

Before Yuigahama Chiana could finish her words, Yui grabbed a larger apple and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Vitamin C, right? Mom, you've been saying this since I was in elementary school."

Yui smiled with curved eyebrows.

"It means that my original intention has never changed." Yuigahama Chiana said seriously.

“Tsk.” Yui curled her lips and ignored the other person.

When her mother left, she was more like a child than she was.

Crying and making a fuss.

Suddenly I am a little curious about my parents’ love history. Why?

Otherwise, I'd better find an opportunity to talk to him.

The girl was thinking happily in her heart, when she suddenly felt a pain in her thigh.

He reached into his trouser pocket and took out a small pink ball-shaped pendant.

It was the biabu that Su Qing gave her this afternoon.

She likes this little pink ball very much, it's very cute.

So from then until now, I have always kept it with me.

"Hey, what is this? It looks quite cute." After Yuigahama Chiana noticed it, she immediately cast a curious look.

"It's Biabu, a character in a comic book," Yui explained.

"Hmm? Comics?" Yuigahama Chiana murmured thoughtfully, and asked after thinking for a moment.

"Is the name of that comic called "Ultra Beast Armor"?"

Yui's shocked face.

"Mom, how did you know?"

Wasn't this comic only on sale for three months? How come even my mother knew about it!

She obviously doesn't read comics.

"Little fool." Yuigahama Chiana rolled her eyes at her daughter and said with a smile, "Your father works in an animation company.

His company just happened to take over the animation of this comic recently and even made a promotional poster.

That’s exactly what’s on the poster.”

Yuigahama Chiana said this, with curiosity growing in her eyes.

According to my husband, the author of this comic is quite amazing.

I heard that he finished a high-quality comic strip in less than three months, and his achievements far exceeded those of his peers.

She didn't quite understand how powerful her husband was talking about, but...

How come these big ears look like an elephant...

Looks like it's quite unique, right?

"Show it to mom~"

“No.” Yui said without hesitation.

???

Qiannai looked puzzled.

Immediately, she changed into a charming face and said in a tender voice, "Just show it to mommy, little Yui~"

"Well--"

That's what it means to say a mother is like a child.

Yui thought about it and took the little pink ball far away.

"Here, look~"

"So far?" Yuigahama Chiana was stunned for a moment, then begged, "Bring it closer, are you worried that your mother will break it?"

"You broke my doll when we were in elementary school..." Yui said suddenly.

After saying that, he put the biabu away.

"That's too much! Didn't I give you a new one later as compensation?"

Yuigahama China pouted angrily.

"Hehe, I'm just kidding you. It's your fault that you always like to play tricks on me." Yui felt emotional.

After years of confrontation, it was rare for him to gain the upper hand over his mother.

"Here, take it, but be careful!"

Yui warned.

"Hmm? Is this little thing very expensive?" Yuigahama Chiana held it up curiously.

Under the light, even the hairs of the exquisitely crafted pink ball are clearly visible and can be counted.

It looks... like it's quite expensive, huh?

"No, it's not for sale now, and Xiaoqing said it seems to be a collector's item."

Yui recalled and explained.

"Eh——? Is that so..." Yuigahama China's tone suddenly became very long.

"Is Xiaoqing the boy named Su Qing from last time?"

She was silent for a moment before she asked casually.

“That’s right.” Yui nodded, but her mother’s hesitant gaze made her feel uncomfortable.

She didn't like this feeling, so she said generously.

"It's true that I like Xiaoqing, but Xiaoqing doesn't like me because she has a girlfriend!

This thing must have been just a gift from someone. Mahiru-chan has something better.

We are just friends... good friends."

"right……"

Yuigahama Chiana stopped talking.

That boy actually likes you.

But she didn't dare tell Yui.

Yuigahama China glanced at the window and suddenly remembered that the weather forecast said it would rain in the early morning, so she quickly said,

"It looks like it's going to rain, close the windows."

“I’ll go.” Yui was quick and efficient and quickly closed the open windows.

When closing the last window, the girl's eyes inadvertently fell on a small dot in the distant darkness.

There...is there someone looking at me?

It was dark, and the streetlights there were dim.

Yui saw it blurry, but she felt that the figure was very familiar, so she rubbed her eyes quickly, but when she opened her eyes again, she didn't see him.

"what happened?"

Yuigahama Chiana came over at this time and asked.

"No, it's nothing."

Yui shook her head slightly, thinking it was just an illusion, and closed the last curtain.

"It's getting late, eat the apple and go to bed." said Yuigahama Chiana.

"Yeah, okay." Yui nodded obediently.

She chewed half an apple and lowered her head. After a while, she raised her eyes and asked in confusion:

"Mom, why is this apple salty?"

“It tastes so bad…”

……

In the corner, Su Qing slowly withdrew his gaze until the last light went out.

The wheels of the suitcase rubbed against the asphalt road, and the "gurgling" sound was lost in the remaining moonlight and shadows.

"Yui, don't be so foolish as to take the blame for others anymore."

"Not worth it..."

……

……
