The days passed by little by little, and the servants of the Higuchi family were about to usher in an unprecedented cold new year.

Ever since the conversation between the young lady and the master seemed to tear apart, the young lady seemed to have lost her motivation, and she no longer tried to behave better in front of the master. She stayed in her own yard all day long, planning how to escape from this place. mansion.But no matter how many plans she made, the lady finally denied it.The maids who served her picked up the papers she discarded, and they could clear away a basket a day.

How could the lady known as a genius not escape this ordinary and old house?

Everyone knew it well: Miss just didn't want to leave.

There are still a few days until the New Year, and the weather is getting colder and colder.The servant had prepared breakfast for the young lady since nine o'clock in the morning, but the young lady didn't get up until after ten o'clock, so she had to heat up the breakfast again.

Higuchi woke up in a daze, ate breakfast in a daze, and then stood in the yard dazedly.After a while, I asked the maid who was following me: "What's the date today?"

Maid: "Miss, today is the 30th."

Higuchi was very surprised, looking at the icy blue sky, sighed: "I thought this year's New Year will be different. Hmm - there are still some things to say differently."

The maid didn't make a sound, quietly listening to her continue to say the next sentence.

"I don't have a grandpa this year."

Mr. Higuchi should be discussing things with his subordinates in the study now.

This sentence was very bitter to others, and the maid couldn't help feeling sad.

Higuchi's greatest joy now is to plan to escape and then deny the plan. The rest is to watch the sky in the yard, and he subconsciously thinks of a certain confident face.

"Ah, I think I saw him..."

When she said something to herself, Granny Shan's voice suddenly came from behind her: "That's not impossible."

Higuchi was taken aback, and turned around abruptly: "Eh ⊙▽⊙?!"

Grandma Shan sat on the porch and asked with a smile, "But Miss, are you willing to leave here?"

Higuchi's mood accounted for a large part of the reason for not being able to leave here since he learned the truth.

Higuchi also understood this, so he went back to sit on the porch dejectedly, and said in a daze: "To be honest, I have been thinking about escaping from here since that day, but when it was time to act, my hands and feet changed. It’s as heavy as lead, I can’t lift my hands, I can’t step out, even I don’t understand why I’m so disappointed in my grandfather, no, the head of the house, and I can’t make up my mind to go…”

Grandma Sugi heard that Higuchi took the initiative to change the "grandfather" who had been wrong all along, and she was very sad.

She asked, "So you, now want to hear the truth of everything?"

Higuchi frowned, looked at her and shook his head: "No, I'm afraid! If things are a hundred times worse than I imagined, I'm afraid I'll agree with what the head thinks of me, and I'm afraid I won't be able to step here again."

Higuchi bowed his head, his eyes lost their brilliance: "It's like I'm afraid to face grandpa again..."

Grandma Sugi sighed, took out Higuchi's confiscated mobile phone from her arms, handed it to her, and asked, "That boy from the Atobe family, don't you want to contact him?"

Higuchi glanced at him in confusion, then turned his face away and shook his head: "I don't know what to tell him now."

Granny Shan put the phone aside, got up and left, and said, "When you know everything, you will contact him. You should think about it."

"Why didn't you keep hiding things about me before?" Higuchi asked Granny Sugi's leaving back, "If my aunt didn't tell me those things, maybe today I will continue to work hard to change Grandpa's view of me, Why do you still tell me those cruel things to this day?"

Granny Sugi looked back at Higuchi's painfully wrinkled little face, and said with a slight smile, "Because you met the person you identified, and one day you will voluntarily leave Higuchi's house with him. Miss Shino was originally Believing in this point creates the conditions for you to go to the outside world."

Seeing her leave with a meaningful smile, Higuchi seemed to understand something from her words, looked at the mobile phone, grabbed it and opened it.

"what!"

She exclaimed.

"out of battery."

It probably hasn't been charged since it was confiscated...

Atobe receives a long-lost friend at home.

Uh, speaking of being friends, it’s actually a bit more complicated than that...

When Atobe was in the back seat of the car listening to the other party chattering about the trivial matters of going to England for a year of exchange, he unconsciously turned his face out of the car window.

Atobe's ex-girlfriend and close friend Minamoto Rin stopped talking when he saw Atobe's bored face and said, "Keigo, your temper has improved a lot. Who did you meet?"

Atobe responded in bewilderment, "What?"

Probably because he was in a daze just now and didn't hear her clearly.

But Gen E Rin can ignore these little embarrassments and continue talking to himself: "I heard that, that girl named Higuchi Oo is your new girlfriend, right?"

When Atobe heard the name "Oo Higuchi", the corners of his mouth could not help but rise: "Well~"

"What kind of answer is 'Well~'?" Yuan Erin asked unwillingly, "According to your personality, why don't you say 'she is my uncle's girlfriend?', you are not really attracted by her Give it a makeover."

Yuan Erin heard that Atobe showed a lot of expressions that she had never seen before when she was with that "Oo Higuchi". She still didn't believe it. It's like falling in love and exuding the breath of LOVELOVE", absolutely impossible!She dated Atobe for a year, but he broke up with the reason that "it feels more like a friend", so she really only became his friend, and even flew to the UK as an exchange student to see if he would Miss myself.As a result, he has already met his true destiny!It was a big mistake for her Yuan Erin to leave in the first place!

Atobe didn't notice the regretful entanglement in the girl's heart, and squinted at her: "My uncle will not be easily reformed by that kind of woman. If you still gossip like this, I will send you back to England."

Minamoto Rin closed her mouth just in time.

But after a while she couldn't help it: "Then you didn't go to England with your uncle and aunt this year because of her?"

Atobe looked out the window and didn't reply.

Yuan Erin held back her breath, "hummed" and didn't speak again.

Atobe's expression could not be said to be happy or worried, it was very subtle.

...how is that idiot doing?

And the resentful Yuan Erin felt lonely because her loving parents did not return from their trip, so she stayed at Atobe's house for a day.

Maybe this is just an excuse to get close to Atobe.

That night, Higuchi hid under the quilt and peeped at her mobile phone (which was fully charged) on the tatami next to her, frowning tightly.When he was extremely entangled, he was still tossing and fumbling in the quilt.

When the maids pass by, they can't help but feel: the former lady has returned...

As a result, Higuchi struggled all night like this.

The next day, before the maid came to call her for the first time, a carp came out of the warm blanket, put on a kimono, put on a blouse, and rushed to the yard where Grandma Sugi was.

Granny Shan is an elderly person, she doesn't sleep much and wakes up early.When Higuchi hurriedly interrupted her, she had already washed and tidied up and looked like she was waiting for her.

"You've finally made your decision."

Seeing Higuchi's firm expression beside the paper door, she said with relief.

Higuchi plopped and knelt down in front of Granny Sugi: "I don't want to live like this without hope anymore, I want to completely change this situation!"

Finally waited until this moment.

Granny Shan's smile couldn't help deepening: "Miss, please listen carefully..."

Higuchi Oo's father, Higuchi Shiken, is the only son of the Higuchi family. He is a serious and responsible person, and he is more approachable than the rigid boss. After he graduated from university, the boss gave him most of the work with confidence. reason.When you are in charge, you can cultivate at home with the old lady.

And Ogata Kazumi, Ogata's mother, is a maiden from a shrine in Hokkaido, and the Ogata family has been engaged in related occupations for generations.Ogata Kazumi and Higuchi Shiken met because the head of the family felt that he wanted to exorcise the family, so he contacted the Ogata family through someone's introduction.So in the exorcism ceremony of Higuchi's house, the two met.

Higuchi Touka did have some superstitious tendencies, otherwise he wouldn't believe that Ou has demon powers.

The young Higuchi Zhiken was not superstitious. At first he was quite repulsed by these pretentious things, but after falling in love with Ogata Kazumi at first sight, he couldn't care about anything else.

Apart from Ogata Kazumi's identity, she is very satisfactory.Ogata Kazumi is a gentle woman like Yamato Nadeko, coupled with her long-term clean life, she has a refined temperament that ordinary people can't learn.Ogata Kazumi also likes Higuchi Zhiken very much, and she will marry him even if she gives up her identity as a witch.

But it was strongly opposed by the Ogata family.For the Ogata family, Ogata Kazumi is an indispensable priestess of the Ogata Shrine, and her divine power predestined that she cannot marry ordinary people.But Ogata Kazumi didn't believe it, Higuchi Zhijian didn't believe it, but Higuchi Master believed it, and began to stop Higuchi Zhijian.

So the two young people who fell in love escaped from their homes, settled in Tokyo, and had Oo Higuchi.

But the tragedy happened when Oo Higuchi was about to come into the world.The two people who fell in love and their lives gradually stabilized encountered a car accident during a picnic. Higuchi Shiken, who protected Ogata Kazumi, died immediately, and Ogata Kazumi also gave birth prematurely. They were sent to the hospital. After giving birth to Higuchi Oo with his last breath Just die.

Later, Higuchi Oo was taken back to the Higuchi family in Kanagawa, and he never had contact with the Ogata family.

Before Higuchi was three years old, the old man who took care of her and was close to her was not the head of Higuchi, but the old lady.

The old lady's health has been going from good to bad, and because of the grief of losing her son, she passed away later.

The old lady liked to play Go, but she couldn't teach the master how to do it.Even so, the master still treasures that set of Go.

According to this, the old man in Higuchi's memory who said that Go belongs to a person who will never come back is indeed in charge.

But after that, the head of the family never got close to her like this again.

until now.

Grandma Sugi finished speaking slowly, flipping through the photo albums she had passed, and when she raised her head to look at Higuchi next to her, she found that she was crying silently with tears all over her face.

Is this fact still incomprehensible to her?

At this time, Higuchi looked at Granny Sugi with tears in his eyes: "Then isn't grandpa the one who suffers the most?"

After saying "Wow", I burst into tears and wiped my face with my sleeve, like a child.

"Grandpa, what he wants to punish is not me, but himself!" Granny Sugi looked at Hikou and covered her face and cried, "He hasn't left here for so many years, he was imprisoned here with me, and he has to bear everything alone. Painful, looking at me silly! But I still said that to him before, wow wow wow..."

Grandma Sugi handed her a handkerchief to wipe her face in a funny way, Higuchi took it, sniffed hard, slowly stopped crying, and asked, "Where is Grandpa? I'm going to find him to clarify, and then go to Jingwu!"

Granny Shan was taken aback: "Eh? That phone..."

"No, I want to tell him this kind of thing in person," Higuchi stood up and said with a smile, "Besides, grandpa will definitely not stop me this time!"

After she finished speaking, she ran out with a bang.Grandma Shan wanted to keep her for a while, but she could only say helplessly, "Miss is really an activist~"

But as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Higuchi retreating backwards, pawing at the door and asking:

"Can Granny Shan do me a favor?"

Every day after breakfast, Mr. Higuchi would stand under a ginkgo tree in the yard for a while.

It is a kind of emotion of "my wife was planted when my wife died, but now she is a graceful guy".

The colder it is, the stronger the bitter taste.

But today it was destroyed by a surge of momentum.

The master looked at Higuchi, who didn't look like a lady, ran to his yard in a hurry, stood on the corridor panting, and shouted arrogantly: "Grandpa! I know everything! You are in pain, right! So from now on, I I will break out of this cage and go out! Please stop dwelling on the past! I really hope I can bring a smile back to your face!"

Higuchi's vigorous voice scared the birds in the tree away.

The master's expression was slightly dissatisfied: "What's going on so early in the morning..."

But before he finished speaking, Higuchi waved his hand and said goodbye, shouting: "Grandpa! Now I'm going to Tokyo to find Keigo! Please move to my yard and have a look!"

Then, just as she came in, she disappeared in a flash.

The head wanted to ask someone to stop her, but what she said just now echoed in his ears, so he let her go.

He stood under the tree for a while, then walked towards Higuchio's yard.

Before he went in, he heard Grandma Shan ordering the maids to arrange something.After entering, he found that the open space in the yard was covered with sheets of drawing paper.

Grandma Sugi compared the small paper and asked the maids to carefully place the paintings in the correct position.Gradually, as if a jigsaw puzzle was nearly completed, a portrait appeared.

The master suppressed his surprise, walked up to Granny Shan and asked, "What are you doing?"

Grandma Shan looked at him with a smile: "Look carefully and you will know."

Dangjia can recognize that those paintings are the ink paintings of Higuchi for so many years, because he prefers ink paintings, so the ink paintings of Oo Higuchi are much more than watercolor and oil paintings.

Negating and ignoring again and again is nothing to Xu.

So the head of the family saw the hope hidden behind these persistent efforts.

Those ink paintings look like exquisite landscapes, insects and birds or occasional innovative splashes of ink, but combined according to the date of signing, they are a huge portrait painting.

What is painted is the expression of the master with a smile in his eyes and a slightly raised mouth corner.

That kind of expression may have been there when the old lady was still around.

The words "I sincerely hope I can bring a smile back to your face" came to Dang Jia's ears again.

He looked towards the sky, and said to the smiling Granny Shan beside him, "Let her go."

Grandma Shan smiled clearly.

Dang went to the yard and took a closer look at the huge painting. Grandma Shan and several maids who were always on duty followed behind him.Suddenly, they saw the master clutching his heart, and fell down pale.

"Home!"
