"Is there something wrong?" Hualichun asked the childcare worker in a low voice, "Is there any adult named 'Hui' here?"

"No, the only one named Hui is this child, Chanyuan Hui." The childcare worker shook his head, "That's right, Hui's father also called in the morning and said that he will come to pick up the child again when he is not free, and the child's cousin will be the one to pick him up." Do it for me...that's you, right?"

"Hui's father also sent the photo." Saying that, the childcare worker turned on the phone, found the photo and showed it to Hualichun.

Hualichun leaned her head over and took a look, then fell silent for a moment—it was a photo taken by Chanyuan Shier on the night bus from Kyoto back to Tokyo that day.

In the photo, the little girl who wants to sleep but dare not sleep, so she struggles against drowsiness, causing her facial features to wrinkle, is indeed Hua Lichun.

Hualichun: "...Indeed, it is indeed me. Also, please delete this photo..."

Nursing staff: "That's right... It's a bit embarrassing for a girl to leave such a photo..."

After some conversation, Hualichun already understood the cause and effect of the matter—this child named "Chanyuan Hui" is the son of Zenyuan Shier, and just like himself, he is another bloodline from the Zenyuan family.

"It's fine if it's really you." The childcare worker breathed a sigh of relief, "To be honest, although Hui's father used to come to pick up Hui, he always failed to come on time, so the child was either late or looked at other children. They were all picked up by their parents, and they waited alone in the kindergarten until dark, and sometimes dinner was prepared by the kindergarten.”

"And he often said that there is no need for him to pick him up, and Hui can go back and forth by himself... Of course, our kindergarten did not agree, after all, the child has not yet reached the age of elementary school."

Speaking of this, the childcare worker looked worried: "Although I can understand that Xiaohui's father may be busy with work, it is not an option to leave the child alone. We are anxious, but we are others after all, and we have no position to persuade. I hope you can persuade me Advise Xiaohui's father to take care of the child more."

"is that so……"

Hualichun frowned, and couldn't help but look down at the silent black-haired little boy.But soon, she stretched her eyebrows, and took the boy's little hand from the childcare worker: "Thank you, then I will take Xiaohui back."

After the childcare worker smiled and waved goodbye, Huali Jun took Hui's hand, turned and walked towards the intersection.

Just from the few words of the nursery staff, she can find that Zenyuan Shier is a very irresponsible father.What's more, she didn't know where the father and son lived now, so she had to take the child back to Hoshino Club first.

Huali Chunzheng walked forward while thinking, the boy who was holding her hand suddenly spoke.

"If you don't want to hold me, it's okay to let go."

Hualichun came back to her senses, and looked down at Hui in a little surprise.And the black-haired boy continued to say sullenly: "Anyway, I was forced into you by that guy. I know how to get back, just go back by myself."

"I didn't say I didn't want to hold your hand." Hualichun replied, "But let me ask by the way, where do you live with your parents? If you go back alone, what will you have for dinner?"

"I don't have a mother. When I was a baby, my mother was gone." Hui Yan said succinctly, "My home is a low-rent 1LDK apartment on Wuzhan Road. There are some frozen noodles left at home, soak them in boiling water You can eat it."

Hualichun couldn't help but tighten Hui's hand.

This child obviously has a father, but he lives like an orphan...

Like her before.

There is really no way.Hualichun pursed her lips.Although she didn't want to let the dog teachers get in touch with people other than herself, so as not to increase the risk of the teachers' true identities being exposed, the little boy in front of her was obviously thrown to her by her biological father.

If she also throws the child somewhere alone, or locks it up somewhere, then she is no different from Chanyuan Shier.

"Then come with me." Hualichun smiled at Hui, "Hui, guess where I live?"

Hui didn't look up, obviously not very interested in Hualichun's residence.But at the same time, perhaps because he didn't want to go back to the home of the lifeless 1LDK, he didn't break free from Hualichun's hand.

Hualichun took Hui on the tram and walked all the way to the gate of Hoshinosha.

"Let's go in." She took Hui's hand and walked up the steps at the door of Hoshinosha.

Until then, the little black-haired boy who stepped up the steps finally raised his head.

Under the fluffy black hair like a sea urchin is a delicate face.Although the facial features are still immature, they are enough to see a shadow similar to Zenyuan Shier from the eyebrows and eyes.

——Hui raised his head, and the Hoshinosha's small publishing house surrounding the locomotive runway in front of him, as well as the exquisite garden with a corner behind the small building, were reflected in the boy's astonished eyes.

It was like a whole new world he had never seen before.

And now, he is being held by Hualichun, and he is about to walk in.

……

The place where you enter the door is a reception area with sofas, a rest area, and a bar where you can mix your own drinks.In the front, you can see the tidy office area separated from the reception area.

At the back, it is separated by a transparent glass sliding door. When you enter the door, you can see a green garden in the corner.

"Xiao Hui, just sit here for a while." Hua Lichun brought Hui to the sofa, "There are drinks at the bar, Hui can choose what you want to drink. You can go to other places if you want to. I will contact your father first. Talk to him."

"I can't get through." Hui said softly, "The kindergarten teachers often can't get through either."

"..."

Hualichun stood where she was, stared at Hui silently for a while, and then walked away while pressing the phone number of Zenyuan Shier.

Hui watched Hualichun walk away, then sat on the sofa and looked around.

On the side of the reception area and the office area, the boy noticed a small corridor.

He subconsciously looked in the direction of the corridor, and saw a space with bookshelves at the end of the corridor.

Glancing at Hualichun, who was still trying to dial Shi'er in the Zen Garden, Hui got off the sofa and walked towards the end of the corridor.

All the way through the short corridor, what appeared in front of him was a small library full of bookshelves.There are soft carpets in the library, and the air smells like printing ink.

...and lying quietly on the carpet of the library, a large brown-red dog who was so absorbed in seeing that the tip of its nose was almost buried in the pages of the book.

The window of the library was not closed, a gust of wind slipped in, slightly blowing the tip of the large brown dog's hair, making the soft long hair sway like waves.

At the same time, the big brown-red dog heard the sound of the door and turned around.The eyes of one person and one dog collided unexpectedly in the air.

Oda Dog: "..."

benefit:"……"

Did he read it right?dog watching?

Oda Inu was a little surprised when he saw the boy who suddenly appeared, but soon, this gentle and large dog looked away again and continued to read the rest of the content.

The wind stopped, and the quietness returned to the library, as if this long and seemingly eternal silence is the destined scenery here.

Regardless of age, regardless of species, only in the palace of literature, all are equal.

Hui froze for a moment, and even dared not make a sound, for fear of destroying the peaceful atmosphere here.He subconsciously turned his head and looked at the books and periodicals on the bookshelf beside him.

On the shelf closest to him, there was a row of magazines neatly placed.And the names on the spine with the same font but different colors are all the same four characters - "Monthly Literature".

Hui raised her small hand, took out one of the books, and opened it.

"...do you like books?"

A soft voice sounded behind him.Hui held the magazine and turned around, and saw Hualichun standing behind him with a mobile phone in one hand, looking at him.

"I like it too." She raised her head and looked at the sky outside through the gaps in the bookshelves, "The scenery seen from the gaps in the bookshelves is the best."

Seeing that Hui's eyes fell on the mobile phone in his hand, Hualichun raised the mobile phone: "It is true that he has not been contacted, but I sent an email and told him that you are here with me. Hui can stay here tonight with peace of mind. good."

"Really." Hui looked down at the magazine in his hand.

"Is this a magazine you publish?" He asked while holding "Monthly Literature".

"Hmm...but for you, the articles in it are still too early." Hualichun picked up "Monthly Literature" from Hui's hand and asked with concern, "Shall I help you choose some suitable books? "

Since the Oda dog and the puppies lived together, Huali Jun has also added a lot of books for all ages to the library.

"No." The boy shook his head, "I will choose myself."

Megumin walked between the bookshelves and began carefully browsing the spines of the books one by one, then found the book she was interested in, and placed it next to the Oda dog.

The big dog and the black-haired boy sat at the two ends, each quietly reading a book.

Hualichun, who watched this scene, hesitated for a moment, then said: "...Hui."

Seeing the boy looking up at her, Hualichun asked cautiously, "Do you like dogs?"

This time, Hui nodded seriously: "I like it. Because the puppy will not leave casually, and will always be by the owner's side."

"……Uh-huh."

Although Hualichun is used to the settings that Gouzi can write, Kanhui accepts the same settings so easily, without even needing her to explain, as if she is used to abnormal dogs, which instead makes her have a long-lost feeling There is a feeling of "there are several strange things in this scene".

As if seeing Hualichun's surprise, Hui raised her head and looked directly at Hualichun: "I will not tell anyone what I see here."

"I'm very strict," he said, "because my dad always asked me not to tell anyone what he did."

Would Zenyuan Shier demand this from his own children?

Hualichun couldn't help but think of the meeting outside the main house of the Buddhist monastery.Even though Zenyuan Shi Er restrained himself, she could still feel that what he did was unusual.

But even though Chanyuan Shier is an irresponsible guy, he still managed to raise Hui relatively healthy to this age.But now, Zenyuan Shier suddenly threw his son to himself...

Is it because he knows that in the next period of time, he will not even be able to pick up and drop off his son on time?

Megumin set his eyes on the page again.One person and one dog returned to the state of concentrating on reading again.

Hualichun retreated silently to the door of the library, couldn't help but put her head on the strange scene for the last time, and then retracted her head.

And beside the boy who was concentrating on studying, the shadow cast by the setting sun turned into the appearance of two puppies, and then gradually dispersed.

……

The phone rang again.The tall and strong black-haired man was speechless, while taking the mobile phone out of his trouser pocket, he muttered softly: "What, you are really a persistent little girl...huh?"

Glancing at the number displayed on the phone, Chan Yuan Shi Er was a little surprised, and then connected the phone: "What's the matter?"

On the other end of the phone, came the voice of an old man full of spirit: "Shier, how are you thinking about that matter? When will you send the person over?"

"Ah, that matter..."

Zen Yuan Shi Er folded his waist, looked up at the sunset in the sky, and exhaled slowly.

The image of the little girl wrinkling her face while fighting against sleepiness on the night bus came to mind.Then what emerged was the appearance of a woman who looked somewhat similar to her, with gentle but firm eyes, the person he rarely got along with when he was still at the Zenyuan.

"I've changed my mind," he said. "Not for sale."

After a while, the old man on the other end of the phone said slowly, "Really? It's not like you, Shier."

"What do you think makes you look like me?" Zenyuan Shier sneered, "Forget it."

"...Even if you say that, if you inherit the ten shadows, I will still make a move." The old man said again.

Zenyuan Shier's expression didn't change, and he just hung up the phone.

"Alright..." he muttered to himself, throwing away the magic tool in his hand, "let's get to work."

At the same time, the home of the Kyoto Zen Monastery.

Patriarch Zhipiren of Zenyuan put down the phone and frowned.

"What happened?" He said to himself, "Since Shier has come to the point where he is going to sell his son, he is not someone who will suddenly change his mind because of feelings."

"Did something unplanned happen? Or someone unplanned... Did the Gojo family intervene? Or..."
