Zongman: Kulaixiku, resurrection!

"Ah, Mr. Baihe, you might not know this." Xiang's father put on a rather distressed expression and respectfully poured more tea for Baihe Sanhui. The latter took out an extra cup and placed it in front of Xiangzi, indicating that he should pour a cup for Xiangzi as well. Xiang's father paused and then did as he was told. "Xiangzi hasn't been home for several days."

Why did you fill Xiangzi's cup of tea? That's quite rude of Xiangzi's father.

"In my eyes, Xiangzi is a very good student. How could he run away from home for no reason?" Baihe Sanhui picked up the cup of hot tea in front of Xiangzi, took a sip, put it in front of himself, and handed the cup to Xiangzi. Xiangzi was a little nervous and took it hesitantly. He didn't dare to drink it or put it on the table.

Baihe Sanhui just expressed his attitude. I want to speak for Xiangzi.

Xiangzi could already see that the two people in front of him had already started playing chess.

"You're right. I also think there might be some reason why Xiangzi is disappointed in me." Seeing this, Xiang's father narrowed his eyes slightly, but his tone did not change noticeably. "Don't worry about you laughing at me. I've thought about it for a long time, and I guess it's because the conflict between her mother and I is too deep, which has affected Xiangzi's mood."

"This is none of my mother's business—" Xiangzi couldn't help but retort when he heard Xiangdie mention his mother, but he was interrupted by Xiangdie's loud voice before he could finish his words. "Xiangzi, you have no right to speak here!"

Xiangzi's face flushed red, and he was about to rush out when a slender, strong hand gently pulled him back. It was Baihe Sanhui. "It's okay, Xiangzi, trust me."

After a stalemate, looking at Baihe Sanhui's determined eyes, Xiangzi still chose to believe Baihe Sanhui and continued to sit upright on the chair, but he no longer paid attention to the conversation between the two, and stared at the hot tea in his hand in a daze.

"Haha, I'm so sorry, Mr. Baihe." Xiang's father laughed and continued to talk: "Since Xiangzi separated from his mother, Xiangzi has been a little depressed. It's also my fault that I have been busy with my own affairs. Now I just want to apologize to Xiangzi and eliminate the conflict between us. If possible, I will take her back to my hometown to live for a while. I think-"

Ah, it’s so boring to listen to this person bragging. Kashiwa Sanhui decided to launch a small attack.

"Xiangzi's father, please wait a moment." Baihe Sanhui waved his hand to interrupt Xiang's father. "I want to ask you a question. When was the first time you contacted Xiangzi these days?"

Being interrupted suddenly, Xiang Dad was a little annoyed, but he still answered: "Last Sunday, if I remember correctly."

"Xiangzi, is that so?"

"Yes, that's right." Xiangzi opened the call records on his mobile phone and showed them to Baihe Sanhui. There was one call last Sunday and one call today, and that was it.

"Do you know where Xiangzi has been these past few days, and what he's been doing?" Without giving Xiang's father a chance to respond, Baihe Sanhui continued to speak to himself, his sharp eyes piercing directly at Xiang's father's, which were now bloodshot. "Of course you don't know. Let me tell you something about what happened before."

"Last Friday, our school had a small outbreak of food poisoning. Although it was quickly resolved, Xiangzi still suffered greatly." Kashiwa Sanhui pulled a bag of bread from his backpack—the same expired bread Xiangzi had bought and stored in the storage room. "Acute enteritis and the resulting high fever. God bless you, such a small piece of bread nearly cost the life of an excellent student."

"You certainly don't know, but apart from some medicine prescribed by the school clinic, Xiangzi almost completely relied on herself to get through it. What a strong girl! When I was sixteen, I would stick to my mother even if I was just hurt."

"Yes, I have done so much to let Xiangzi down, so——"

"So, when Xiangzi was in the most pain and distress, you didn't call him at all? What were you busy with on Friday?"

Father Xiang smiled awkwardly, his fists clenched so tightly that veins popped out. "Haha... I'm definitely busy with some things regarding my friends..."

"Let's not talk about these for now. Do you know what Xiangzi said to me? She knew very well that these were expired products, but in order to save money she still bought a lot of these cheap things. She has been eating these inferior products for two consecutive days. To use a more radical word, they are all garbage." Baihe Sanhui emphasized the word "garbage".

"High school students should be enjoying their youth without worries, but you make Xiangzi worry about money. I doubt whether your financial situation can afford Xiangzi's life—"

"That's enough!" Xiang's father overturned the table, and books, disposable teacups, and ceramic fragments of the tea set scattered everywhere, splashing hot water all over Baihe Sanhui. Baihe Sanhui breathed a sigh of relief, finally unable to hold it in any longer. Baihe Sanhui protected Xiangzi, whose eyes were already filled with tears, behind him, tugged at Xiangzi's sleeve, and signaled him to calm down.

Xiang's father pointed at Baihe Sanhui's nose and scolded him rudely: "What qualifications do you have to tell me what to do? Xiangzi is my daughter. If I want to control her, I can do it. If I don't want to, it's none of your business!"

"I've made it clear, I just want Xiangzi to transfer to another school. A useless school like yours with useless teachers—"

"You have no right to humiliate Mr. Kashiwa, nor do you have the right to humiliate Haneda Academy," Xiangzi's voice trembled slightly, but with unparalleled determination. "What do you think of me as? A daughter? Or a wallet?"

Maya, Xiangzi comes in, and Xiangzi can't help but have a fight with his dad!

Baihe Sanhui glanced at the door; it was completely shut. Class time had already arrived, and there were no outsiders in the office. The soundproofing was good, so the neighbors couldn't hear anything. So, let her explode. Everyone knew everything. With him protecting her, he wasn't afraid of what Xiang's father might do to Xiangzi.

"You're just a loser whose true colors were revealed the moment you left your mother and the Toyokawa family. You spent most of the money I earned from my part-time job on a life of luxury and debauchery, and you wasted my time. You ruined my band and my dreams. I really want to go back in time and tell myself not to follow that man. He would ruin everything for you."

Xiang's father looked at Xiangzi who had blown himself up in disbelief, and for a moment he was unable to even refute it.

"I...I don't ask for anything anymore," Xiangzi took a deep breath, gradually calming down, with a hint of pleading in his eyes. "Please...please, please, just pretend I never existed, okay?"

"Just think of it as the last thing a father does for his daughter, okay?"

Don't be weak, Xiangzi! He has no heart, no heart!

"...Ha, ha, ha," Xiang's father opened his mouth and suddenly sneered, "Is this the level of education your school provides? You've turned my daughter, who is both academically and morally excellent and respects her teachers, into such a traitor, a vile and useless person."

"I have decided that Xiangzi must transfer schools. Not only that, because your school's failed education has turned my daughter into a useless delinquent, I will also demand compensation from your school—"

Hearing this, Xiangzi's heart was completely broken, and he ran out of the door and disappeared.

Maya, Xiangzi ran away!
