While eating lunch, Jiang Nian recalled a time when he was in first grade and was eating out. His father gently cut the steak and gave it to his mother, and then he cut his own steak.
Tanaka Nobuyuki was doing this in front of him, and Jiang Nian was a little stunned.
It wasn't until the cut steak was handed to him that the sourness in his heart burst out.
I haven't dreamed of my father for a long time, but it seems like I saw him yesterday.
Jiang Nian wiped away the two lines of coldness that flowed down his face with a smile. Tanaka Nobuo was a little at a loss. Kotoko Oshizuka guessed the reason but didn't dare to point it out. Shiraishi Kuranosuke just felt that his IQ was not enough.
Only the sound of Tanaka Ritsuru chewing leisurely filled the quiet air.
Lunch time is long, yet short.
Shiraishi Kuranosuke left in a hurry after lunch, and Kotoko Oshizuka finally opened the wooden box that had been sealed for a long time.
When Kotoko Oshizuka handed several letters to Jiang Nian, Yuri Miyamoto called.
"I heard you were in Osaka. I happen to be there too. Do you want me to pick you up and go back together?" Miyamoto Yuri's voice was as confident and outspoken as ever.
After hearing this, Jiang Nian glanced at Kotoko Oshizuka and said with a smile, "Okay."
After sending the address to Miyamoto Yuri, Jiang Nian felt much more relaxed.
"My friend will come to pick me up in a while, so..." Jiang Nian did not say the rest of the urging words, but Kotoko Oshizuka already understood.
After carefully looking through the contents of the box, Kotoko Oshizuka sorted them out and handed them to Jiang Nian: "This is the inheritance your father left you. I've been managing it for the past few years. Now it's all bank deposits, and the rest are letters written to you."
After quickly saying this, Kotoko Oshizuka tentatively asked, "Do you want to study at a university in Osaka? I can take care of you, and your uncle Tanaka will take care of you too?"
Jiang Nian pulled the corners of his mouth, finding it difficult to smile: "I'm considering it. It also depends on whether the school will accept me."
Kotoko Oshizuka was satisfied after hearing this.
At this time, a message came from Miyamoto Yuri: "At the door, come quickly!!!"
After Jiang Nian saw it, he picked up the wooden box and said with a smile, "My friend is here. Thank you for your hospitality today."
When leaving, Kotoko Oshizu, Nobuo Tanaka, and Rinjin Tanaka sent them to the door. Kotoko Oshizu suddenly hugged Jiang Nian and whispered, "You haven't called me mom today..."
Looking at her mother with red eyes, Jiang Nian finally called out, "Goodbye, Mom."
Then he looked at Tanaka Nobu and Tanaka Ritsuhito respectively and said, "Thank you uncle for the hospitality today. Goodbye, brother Tanaka."
Sitting in Miyamoto Yuri's car, Jiang Nian looked back at the family behind him. They had not left yet and were still watching.
Seeing Jiang Nian still looking back, Miyamoto Yuri said unhappily, "Sit tight and be careful."
After Jiang Nian sat down, he casually asked, "The person just now was your mother? Is she remarrying?"
After hearing this, Jiang Nian's eyes were filled with tears and his tone instantly wilted. He looked extremely pitiful.
Miyamoto Yuri glanced at him, her heart beating very fast. She half-jokingly said, "Are you feeling so bad? If you really can't help it, just call me mom and I'll take care of you."
Jiang Nian, who was originally in a bad mood, immediately exploded after hearing this: "This is not a joke. I treat you as a friend, but you want to take advantage of me."
"Alas." Jiang Nian sighed. "Forget it, just drive carefully. I won't argue with you. My father has been dead for so many years, his reputation is nothing to tarnish."
Miyamoto Lily saw that Jiang Nian was indeed in a bad mood and wanted to drive quietly, but when passing an intersection, she suddenly became excited and said, "I can be your father."
Jiang Nian didn't have the energy to get angry, so he just said softly, "You can't take advantage of this."
Soon thereafter, the soft sobbing gradually turned into loud crying.
Unable to bear the disturbance, Yuri Miyamoto stopped at a service area on the highway to rest.
Jiang Nian cried for half an hour before finally quieting down: "Aren't you going to comfort me?"
Miyamoto Yuri felt a little tired. She looked at the blue sky in the distance and said with a sad tone: "I don't know how to comfort her. I really want to see someone again, but I can't. I can only adjust slowly by myself."
"Sometimes the desire to see him isn't strong enough, maybe that will improve over time."
Jiang Nian asked in confusion, "Xingcun Jingshi and you are in the same school. Can't you meet each other anytime?"
"Not him."
After getting a positive answer, Jiang Nian was not very happy.
Perhaps because of the lack of love in his childhood, Jiang Nian feels happier and more comfortable when interacting with people of the same sex, and he also needs recognition from his female friends more.
Most of the girls in the class isolate themselves, and only Chie Nakayama occasionally chats with me.
The appearance of Miyamoto Yuri filled the gap in Jiang Nian's interpersonal relationships.
"The person you are talking about must be very good!" Jiang Nian really wanted to know who that person was and how important he was to Miyamoto Yuri.
Miyamoto Yuri sighed and then smiled: "He is fine, he just passed away."
Jiang Nian saw the sadness between Miyamoto Yuri's brows and felt a little reluctant, so he stopped asking.
…
After setting off again, Jiang Nian directly explained to Naoki Fumino: "I am going to Kyoto and will definitely not go to Osaka."
Several photos came quickly.
Ancient buildings, mist-filled bridges and flowing water, green bluestone slabs along the streets...
"This is something you can see everywhere in Kyoto," Naoki Fumino sent a message. "I want to get into Kyoto, too."
"Have you visited Kyoto University?"
"not yet."
Although Jiang Nian and Fumino Naoki have different reasons, their ultimate goal is the same.
After arriving in Kanagawa, Jiang Nian gave the gas money to Miyamoto Yuri.
At Miyamoto Yuri's strong request, the two had dinner together, and the meal was paid for by Miyamoto Yuri.
Dinner was a simple rice bowl, and Jiang Nian enjoyed it very much.
"By the way, why are you in Osaka?" Jiang Nian finally asked this question while eating.
"Uh." Miyamoto Yuri thought for a moment and said, "I'm just passing by."
Looking at Miyamoto Yuri's expression, Jiang Nian didn't believe it, but didn't ask too many questions. Instead, he extended an invitation:
"I'm going to read the letter my father wrote to me later. Do you want to read it with me?"
After hearing this, Miyamoto Yuri's eyes suddenly lit up and she asked excitedly, "Really?"
"Of course. If I cry later, you have to comfort me." Jiang Nian said with a smile.
Miyamoto Yuri nodded quickly.
The two of them unknowingly sped up their eating speed.
After dinner, Miyamoto Yuri invited Jiang Nian to rest in the car, and immediately opened the lights in the car.
The soft light added a bit of mystery to Jiang Nian's action of opening the letter. Jiang Nian opened it carefully, and Miyamoto Yuri tilted her head to look.
Jiang Nian smiled and said, "I can recite it. Be careful and be careful."
"You're teasing me." Miyamoto Yuri thought of the time when she teased Jiang Nian and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll sit down and you read slowly."
Jiang Nian opened the first letter, which was also the letter his father wrote before the accident.
