He walked over and saw clearly what was in the photo. It was a group photo of a tall and straight middle-aged man in a suit and a girl in a middle school sailor suit.

The middle-aged man looked at the girl with a very gentle expression, and put his hand gently on her head. Although the girl didn't have any expression, the smile in the corner of her eyes showed that she enjoyed this kind of pampering very much, as if everywhere Visible beautiful father and daughter.

It turned out that the wolf-like man would show such a pure expression, it didn't even seem fake at all.

In other words, a man's love for his daughter is not false, but his understanding of love is different from that of ordinary people.

"Every time I start school, my father will take photos with me. He said that photos are the best way to remember. Memory may be blurred. Photos are the best clues, so I should take more photos when I was young. I didn't think so at the time.. ......" Xue Nai stroked the photo lightly, as if reminiscing about the original scene.

The girl is probably regretting that she didn't take more photos with her father when he was still alive.

"Uncle, I love you very much." Hachiman said softly.

Although Xue Nai no longer went on a hunger strike and regained some will to survive, she still did not escape from the grief of her father's death.

"Me too, I don't know if that counts as doting, but my mother never said too much to me, but my father... When I was young, my father was very busy with work, but even so, every time I went to the study When looking for him, he would put down his work, then hug me on his lap, take out a book from the shelf, and read it to me."

Xue Nai loves reading very much, and this habit must have been cultivated by her father since she was a child.

And Hachiman noticed that Yukino called Mrs. Yukinoshita "mother", but called that man "father". The intimacy revealed in it already explained everything.

Yukino lowered her head slightly, as if immersed in the memories of the past, Hachiman's heart twitched slightly.

It was he who ruined the girl's dependence and happiness in front of him, but now he came to her side as a comforter in a hypocritical manner.

Killed her father, and then used the girl's sadness to occupy her heart.

Self-loathing and guilt welled up in his heart, seeming to overwhelm him at any moment.

But he still could only caress the girl with a gentle expression.

But even so, he is not qualified to escape, and it is his responsibility to recover the girl.

The two extreme emotions of excessive sense of responsibility and self-loathing are pulling repeatedly, as if to tear him in half.

And he knew that as long as he was by Xue Nai's side for a day, he would have to get used to this kind of tearing.

Xue Nao seemed to have ended her memories, she slowly raised her head, her pupils seemed to be unfocused and somewhat hollow.

"But why was such a gentle father killed?"

Suddenly, Yukino grabbed Hachiman's hand and held it tightly.

"Why did he kill his father?"

"Why did you take my father away from me!"

The girl's voice became sharp and her expression was very excited.

"Why!" The girl looked at Hachiman and questioned Hachiman.

No, she was questioning the murderer, yes, she was only questioning the murderer.

Because he wants to treat his daughter as a sacrifice to become a god, this is his love for his daughter.

Hachiman would never allow it.

Hachiman answered silently in his heart, and then revealed heavy sadness: "Yes, why?"

He really wanted to use the mirror to see how disgusting the "sadness" he was showing now was.

..................................

At dusk, Mrs. Yukinoshita came back from Yukinoshita Construction Club. In the company, she was still a calm and cold-faced president, coping with the aftermath of the crisis with ease, but just returned to the mansion, perhaps because she was a little relaxed. There was a sinking feeling in her head, and she couldn't help but support the wall, and it took a while to recover.

If it wasn't for sleeping on Hikigu Hachiman's shoulder for a while yesterday, he would have fainted just now.

It's just that yesterday's behavior was too embarrassing for her, and she didn't want to think about it.

After changing her shoes, she passed through the entrance, and the bungalow was still cold and silent. What made her a little strange was that Hikigu Hachiman hadn't come back yet.

Are you still visiting Xue Nai in the hospital?Yukinoshita Kiyoyuki didn't think much, just went back to the room and continued to process the paperwork. When she came to her senses, her stomach protested, and the night outside the window had already fallen. It even started to rain lightly in early winter, and the weather was getting colder up.

She left the room, but found that the living room was still completely dark, she frowned slightly.

"Is there so much to say?" She whispered with some dissatisfaction.

But as soon as she turned her head, she realized something was wrong, Hikigu Hachiman clearly said that he would be responsible for the three meals.

She still knows that guy a little bit, and since she said it, she usually won't break her promise.

She took out her phone and called the bodyguard stationed in the hospital to protect Xue Nai to inquire about today's situation.

Including the matter of Yukino losing control of her emotions today, and the matter of Yawata leaving the hospital after three o'clock in the afternoon.

For some reason, Yukinoshita Kiyoyuki had a bad premonition in her heart.

"Ma'am, you are really strong."

She suddenly remembered what Hachiman had said to herself late last night.

"No." She wasn't strong at all.

After all, she walked down the stairs quickly, thinking in her heart, where will the Hiki Valley Hachiman be now?

It's not in the hospital, is that at home, or at the home of a friend she doesn't know.

Various thoughts flashed through Qingxue's mind, and soon, he thought of a place.

After changing her shoes and leaving the bungalow, she realized that the rain was getting heavier. She held up her umbrella and got into the car. Although she was usually picked up by a driver, Qingxue could drive herself. fired.

Start the car, turn on the dipped headlights, and the car gradually drives away from Xueshita's home in the rain.

Gradually, there was a faint flash of thunder, and the ominousness in Qingxue's heart became more and more intense. She couldn't help but drive a little faster, which seemed particularly dangerous in the rain. About 10 minutes later, Qingxue arrived at her destination. A semi-old apartment building.

The place where Hikigaya Hachiman and a little girl named Kawasaki Saki lived together for a short time, and finally Hikigaya chose her daughter, and the little girl left sadly. On which floor and which room.

The woman put away her umbrella and soon came to the door of the apartment on the third floor, only to find that the door was half open and not locked.

She gently pushed it away and walked in. In the dark room, there was only the sound of heavy breathing, thunder and lightning intersected, and the blood-stained knife on the ground had a cold color and the color of blood flowing on the ground.

Chapter 51 Chapter 51

The bloody knife and the blood flowing on the ground startled Yukinoshita Kiyoyuki.

"Biqigu!" She shouted, the word suicide appeared in her mind, and the ominous feeling in her heart came true. She suddenly pressed all the light switches at the entrance, and the room was brightened up.

The boy sitting under the bed seemed a little surprised, looking at the woman who suddenly appeared in the apartment.

"Ma'am...why would you..."

But Yukinoshita Kiyoyuki who stepped forward slapped him hard on the cheek first, and then carefully inspected the wound on his hand.

To her surprise, although he did have self-mutilation wounds with a knife on his hands, they were not cut on the arteries, but on the back of his hands.

Then I heard Hachiman's slightly hoarse voice: "Does Madam think I will commit suicide? No..."

Yukinoshita Qingxue looked up, looked at his pale face, and looked at his gentle smile: "I still have Yukino to take care of, and Zunxingjiao to solve, I will not commit suicide."

"If you don't want to laugh, then don't laugh. There is no one here who needs your smile to reassure you." Yukinoshita Qingxue said coldly.

Soon, Hachiman's cheeks darkened, like ashes.

"Since it wasn't suicide, why did you leave scars on your own hands?" She asked with a stern expression.

Hachiman lowered his head slowly, seeming to have a self-deprecating voice: "Because I found that only this kind of pain made me confirm that I was really alive."

Yukinoshita Kiyoyuki was silent for a while, as if feeling his struggle from Hachiman's words.

"Idiot, haven't I already said, don't feel guilty, everything is what I instructed you to do, you just follow my request." She shouted in a low voice. He found a tissue, and held Hachiman's bleeding wound with a white tissue, and the tissue was soon dyed red.

Hachiman quickly raised his head, the corners of his eyes were a little red, but struggling not to cry in front of Yukino's mother, he suddenly shouted.

"I want to think this way too, to push all the responsibility on you, all of this is your fault, but no, I can't do it, every time I see Xue Nao, she reminds me, yes I killed her most precious father with my own hands, and I did so voluntarily!"

He struggled to retract Mrs. Yukinoshita's hand, but the strength of the other party was stronger than he imagined, or he was too weak now.

Yukinoshita Qingxue looked at the other party expressionlessly, as if she heard his deep inner voice asking for help.

The guilt of killing Xue Nai's father, and the self-loathing of the hypocrisy that comforted Xue Nai every day, have driven him to a dead end. The strong sense of responsibility made him unable to escape again, and finally formed an endless loop in his mind.

If he had gone to Tokyo with that little girl back then, this situation would not have happened today.

But the young man finally took on everything. However, he is not that strong now. He will become very strong in the future, but not now. The current him is not enough.

This is another sin she committed, and she single-handedly led the young man to this dead end.

"If only you were as strong as my wife, it would be great." Hachiman said with some emptiness in his eyes.

The strength that can ignore all emotions, the strength that can face indifferently at any time.

This is Mrs. Yukinoshita in Hachiman's eyes.

Yukinoshita Qingxue really wanted to tell him no, she was not that strong, even weaker.

But this kind of words can't be said to the child in front of her, because now she has to become the other's support.

For his soul, to be able to sustain it.

Slowly, Yukinoshita Qingxue bent her knees and sat upright, and said to Hikigu-kun, "Cry, Hikigu-kun, just cry out."

Hearing Mrs. Yukinoshita's words, Hachiman's face quickly distorted, in front of Yukino's mother?

Crying in front of the woman who had been hindering him and Yukino since high school and finally ordered him to kill Yukino's father?

"Are you kidding!" he yelled.

But Yukinoshita Qingxue didn't seem to hear his resistance at all, she pressed his cheeks with both hands, and then put her cheeks on her thighs.

"From the beginning to now, you haven't cried well, have you?"

Cheek lay on Yukinoshita Kiyoyuki's thigh, feeling the soft warmth from the thin fabric, for a moment, Hachiman forgot how to struggle.

Then, he heard Mrs. Yukinoshita whisper, "I'm sorry."

Everything was her fault, she was the one who forced the innocent boy onto this road.

Accompanied by the sound of rain and thunder outside the window, Hachiman screamed meaninglessly. In this warm embrace, he poured out the negative emotions accumulated in his heart for the first time, and tears began to spread uncontrollably, but, as if In order to maintain his last bit of self-esteem, Hachiman put his cheek on Mrs. Yukinoshita's lap, with his back to her, his shoulders trembling, not letting the other party see his most embarrassing side.

Yukinoshita Kiyoyuki looked at the boy who was lying in front of her thigh and screaming, she showed a rare tender emotion, and gently stroked the hair on the other side's head.

This is a very rare emotion for a woman. Even in the face of her two daughters, she seldom shows her tenderness.

Maybe it's guilt, or maybe, motherhood.

His stubbornness, his fragility, his appearance of crying bitterly, I have seen them all. In a sense, she now understands the boy in front of her better than Xue Nai.

Tears wet the expensive kimono. I don't know how long it took. Hachiman's movements slowly stopped. He cried for a while, vented the depression in his heart, and then restrained his emotions. But what made Hachiman feel embarrassed was that he now I don't know how to raise my head.

He actually fell on Xue Nai's mother's lap and began to cry bitterly. Before today, no, any time was something he couldn't imagine.

However, what surprised him was that Mrs. Yukinoshita was more gentle than he had imagined, lying on her lap, as if she had returned to her mother's arms when she was a child.

"Is it better?" Mrs. Yukinoshita asked calmly.

Hachiman gritted his teeth and straightened his body, but there were still tears in the corners of his eyes. He didn't know what to say for a while, and the awkward atmosphere began to spread.

Mrs. Yukinoshita did not embarrass him for long, and said, "I saw a medicine box here, let me help you bandage the wound first."

Hachiman nodded, and Mrs. Yukinoshita went to get a small medicine box from under the table, took out the disinfectant and bandages, and began to treat Hachiman's wound.

During this period, he didn't even dare to face each other face to face.

"Let's stay here tonight." Mrs. Yukinoshita said softly while putting on the bandage.

"Hey." Before Hachiman was surprised, there were bursts of thunder outside, and the rain became heavier.

Chapter 52 Chapter 52

"Let's stay here tonight." Mrs. Yukinoshita said softly while putting on the bandage.

Hachiman couldn't help but make a surprised sound, but looking at the rain and thunder outside, even with a car, going back is quite troublesome, especially dangerous.

Now neither Hachiman nor the wife in front of him can have any accidents.

"Thank you for coming here for me." Although Mrs. Yukinoshita didn't come, he would be fine. He didn't think about suicide, but just wanted to feel his own existence through pain, but if Mrs. Yukinoshita didn't If he came here, he would become more depressed mentally, and even he himself couldn't guarantee what would happen next time.

He even found that Mrs. Yukinoshita's expensive kimono was wet in many places. Naturally, it was because she was in a hurry when she arrived and didn't have time to take into account the rain.

Yukinoshita Qingxue was silent for a moment, she was ashamed to accept the other party's thanks for being the "culprit", but soon a chill came from her body.

"Sneeze..." A person who looks so strict, but sneezing makes people feel a little cute.

She should have caught a cold, originally her health was not very good during this time, but she managed to avoid Hachiman's thanks by sneezing.
