In Tokyo, I just want salted fish

Chapter 78 The Lost Morning

"Because... Hanabi came back so late last night. Dad clearly told Hanabi," Hanamaru Hanabi continued in a low voice.

"As long as you don't spend the night there."

Hanamaru Hiroki waved his hand nonchalantly, and smiled at his daughter, who was very careful when speaking in front of him.

"Hanabi. Understand"

Hanamaru Hanabi looked down at the steaming hot and spicy fried rice in front of her. Her father's violent reaction in the dream made her a little worried and scared.

"dad."

She struggled for a moment, then cautiously asked, "If...if Huahuo really spends the night with Kai-kun."

Hearing this, Hanamaru Hiroki paused while drinking tea.

Really want to spend the night with that kid?
Is it because the daughter has grown up, or is the boy too attractive?
Hanamaru Yuki's expression was quite complicated, and she interrupted her words: "Anyway, it is absolutely impossible now. Even if Xiaokai is relatively mature, you are still just children, and you are not prepared for this at all."

He put down the hot tea in his hand and put it beside the dinner plate.

"Let's fall in love, let's fall in love. This is something that the families of both parties have agreed to, but remember that you and him are both students, and there are still many things to learn. Any decision must not be hasty."

"Um,"

Hanamaru Hanabi nodded, then shook her head slightly, and continued weakly, "Hanabi actually wanted to ask if Hanabi was really at Kai-kun's house last night, would dad be okay?"

"Absolutely, I will definitely clean up that kid." Hanamaru Yuki said quietly.

When Hanamaru Hanabi heard this, her body paused, and she raised her eyes to look at him: "Dad won't shoot, right?"

shot?
Will it be so outrageous?

Seeing her daughter's worried little eyes, Hanamaru Hiroki couldn't help laughing, and at the same time sighed deeply in his heart.

It turned out that what she was always worried about was not her little secret being discovered, but the consequences of her little secret being discovered, and how he would treat that kid.

Although he knew that Huahuo was only asking out of concern and had no other meaning, he still couldn't help but feel a throbbing pain in his heart.

Because this means that the father is no longer as important as before, and it means that the daughter who clings to her since she was a child has grown up.

Such a simple question caused him, the father, to suddenly become alienated, and he suddenly became very different.

His mood suddenly became heavy, but in front of his daughter, he still kept smiling, ready to answer her inquiry with a normal heart.

"How could Dad do such a disproportionate thing?" Mrs. Hanamaru sat opposite Hanako with her breakfast.

"Yes—" Hanamaru Yuki hadn't had time to speak.

"Really...won't.?"

The same simple question, but this one is a very distrustful question.

Hanamaru Hiroki's smile froze for half a second.

In her daughter's mind, is she already such an unbearable person?

Thinking back to the way she held his hand and smiled when she was a child, my heart twitched, and I felt bitter and uncomfortable.

But he quickly recovered, and he would not show this emotion in front of his daughter.

As soon as Hanamaru Hanabi's voice fell, she felt inexplicably that she had said something wrong. Looking at her father whose expression did not change, an inexplicable sense of guilt arose spontaneously.

Although she didn't know what she said wrong just now.

She opened her mouth, but suddenly closed it tightly, because she didn't know what to say at this time.

"Of course not." Hanamaru Yuki replied naturally, without any discomfort.

A phone rang suddenly.

Hanamaru Hiroki recovered from his stupor, took out the mobile phone in his clothes and said to the mother and daughter with a smile, "I'll answer the call."

He walked out of the living room.

Mrs. Hanamaru found Hanamaru Hanabi in front of her with her head down, her hands on her legs, looking very depressed.

"Eat first, eat first," she said with a smile, "don't wait for Dad, he will come back after calling."

"Um"

Hanamaru Hanabi responded in a low voice, facing her favorite food, but kept sitting upright and did not move her chopsticks for a long time.

Soon, Hanamaru Hiroki came back from outside the living room.

He saw the way his daughter was looking at him, and smiled at her, "I'm sorry, Huahuo, Dad has to go to work."

"No. Have you had breakfast?"

"I'm sorry, Dad doesn't have time."

Mrs. Hanamaru got up and looked at Yuki Hanamaru who was in a hurry to put on casual clothes, and frowned: "Is it the Metropolitan Police Department?"

"They are all unreliable guys." Hanamaru Yuki caught the car keys she handed over, and his tone suddenly became serious. "Let the opponent run away three times, and now I will deal with it directly."

"It's not a dangerous person, is it?" Mrs. Hanamaru would be extremely worried at this time.

"Don't worry," Hanamaru Yuki hurriedly walked towards the entrance, and waved to Mrs. Hanamaru who was following all the way behind, "Which time did you not come here like this?"

His father's back in a hurry disappeared into the living room, Hanamaru Hanabi stared at the corridor leading to the entrance for a while, and then looked back at the half cup of morning tea that was still steaming and the fried rice that hadn't had time to move the chopsticks in front of her.

She thought of her father who was always so kind and kind to her, and remembered his unreserved concern for herself since she was a child.

But because of a dream, I abandoned my trust in my father who cared for me meticulously.

An uncomfortable sense of guilt kept accumulating in his heart.

"sorry"

She buried her head deeply, and apologized in a low voice to the empty chair in front of her.

------

It was still that early morning, and the morning light filled the alleys in spring.

Uesugi Kai had just left the door after his mother said goodbye with a smile, and was about to call Hanabi to go to school.

He was carrying a schoolbag, and there was still a faint red mark on his handsome right face.

Although I don't know why slapping myself didn't work, but it finally ended that strange dream that was both a good dream and a nightmare.

When he walked to Hanamaru's house next door, he suddenly looked at his palm, and then scratched it with five fingers.

"No, no, no."

Uesugi Kai quickly shook his head, put aside his miscellaneous thoughts, and stepped into the small courtyard of Hanamaru's house.

The two white lilies at the door are still in full bloom, and the faint elegant fragrance is very suitable for the morning air, and even the surrounding morning light is more fresh and bright.

Today's mood is very good.

Before he could go over and ring the doorbell, Hanamaru Hanabi in a sailor suit opened the door from the inside, stepped out with a shoulder bag in both hands.

"Fireworks?"

She should have been smiling brightly every day, but at this moment her mood was very low.

Because of what?
"Your Majesty."

Hanamaru Hanabi didn't look up at him, but lowered her head and slowly closed the door behind her.

Uesugi Kai stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"
