Chapter 49
The father-in-law simply passed over his enthusiastic son-in-law and walked towards the little boy who had no idea what was happening.
The boy with the bushy sea urchin hair had fair skin and emerald green eyes. The only thing he resembled about Sugawara Yoshi was his long, fan-like eyelashes and the scholarly air he exuded when he smiled.
Although Sugawara Megumi had a polite smile on her face, she was still a little confused inside. Did her grandfather look a little too young?
However, the pair of pale blue eyes, which were similar to her mother's but brighter, gave Sugawara Megumi a sense of familiarity. This was the grandfather her mother mentioned.
"I brought you a gift. We finally meet, Hui." The serious expression disappeared. Sugawara Megumi saw that the grandfather in front of her showed a warm smile. The loving expression was very similar to her mother's.
Thinking of this, the barrier of their first meeting disappeared completely. Sugawara Megumi boldly took her grandfather's hand and said, "Mom has decorated your room. Do you want to see it?"
The decoration style of the Sugawara family is very varied, which is due to the restless personalities of Sugawara Yoshiyo and Shinji. They often change as fashion trends change. For example, when Sugawara Megumi was a child, their home was in the style of a baby happy house, and there was even a special passage for cars in the living room.
On the second floor, the modern-style doors open to the left and right, revealing a spacious traditional Japanese-style room with tatami mats. The balcony even has a small landscape of mountains and rivers. As the water flows, the bamboo-made deer hits the stone bowl, making a crisp sound.
Little Sugawara Megumi opened her eyes wide. This thing was not available at home before she went to bed yesterday!
Jiner, who had hidden his achievements and fame, remained silent. Sugawara Yoshiyo tried to gain some points for her husband: "Jiner heard that you, father, are used to living in a Japanese-style room, so he prepared it overnight."
"I've slept enough on tatami. The hard bed is not suitable for an old man like me." Sugawara Megumi looked at her young and handsome grandfather and said in a very incongruous tone.
Sugawara Megumi was a little worried because he had realized that his grandfather seemed to hate his father. Sugawara Megumi, who usually wanted to overthrow his father, felt that his father was a bit pitiful. Although his father was a bad guy, he wondered if he would be sad when the room he carefully prepared was said like this.
If Shen'er knew what his son was thinking, he would probably laugh out loud. He didn't need face at all.
Sugawara Shinji, a good husband and father, showed an annoyed expression: "I was too careless and forgot about this aspect, but fortunately I made other preparations so that you can enjoy high-quality sleep.
Shen Er opened the door of the guest room next door, and a warm and modern room appeared in front of him. The room was decorated very attentively, such as the humidifier with a large display screen and scented candles on the bedside. The most important thing was that there was a large bed that looked very soft and comfortable.
Sugawara Megumi opened her mouth wide and suddenly realized that her father was very powerful.
"Ahui, let's go open the presents.
The cake needs to be put in the refrigerator. I'll leave it to you, Shier." Having narrowly won the first encounter, Shier obediently took the cake and walked downstairs. He smiled only when his father-in-law couldn't see him.
"Grandpa, this is a book for you. I have been reading it recently." Sugawara Megumi took out the gift she had prepared.
"Ahui, do you like reading too? Let's read together later, okay?
"Reading is a good habit. Books are always the best carriers of knowledge. No matter how much time passes, the best parts will remain. For children your age, reading can also help focus." Grandpa's voice was pleasant, reminding Sugawara Megumi of their Chinese teacher.
Grandpa seems to be getting along well again now!
Sugawara Megumi thought so and encouraged herself: "Grandpa, you must be tired after a day's journey. Daddy has prepared some delicious food to welcome you. Let's go eat, okay?"
"Who usually cooks at home?" Sugawara Megumi, who was holding her grandfather's hand obediently, heard this question.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her old father standing in the kitchen making soup, and she nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. "Dad has always been the one cooking at home. His bento is so delicious that he even won the bento competition."
Little Sugawara Megumi tried hard to say something good about her father, but in the end she could only squeeze out a few dry words. She couldn't help but cover her face. She didn't expect that after all the hard work she put into breastfeeding the child, this kid could only squeeze out one good point. Did you remember to eat?
Then Sugawara Megumi heard laughter. He looked at his grandfather who was ruffling his hair and found that his grandfather's face was already full of smiles.
Sugawara Megumi liked this grandfather very much. Although he looked too young, he could answer any questions he was curious about, from the living environment of various birds to some historical allusions. In less than an hour, Sugawara Megumi was conquered by her grandfather.
Shinji placed the fruit on the plate in a depressed mood, not understanding why he was the only one hurt in this world.
"My father-in-law is quite fashionable." Shen'er said after holding it in for a long time.
"My father was very old-fashioned when he was young. Later, after the family experienced an accident and many ups and downs, he became more open-minded. When he was young, he was sent abroad to study in a flower-growing country. He just hasn't accepted you yet." Sugawara Yoshiyo kissed the scar on the corner of Jiner's mouth.
Jiner breathed a long sigh of relief and put his focus on Sugawara Yoshiyo: "Since father-in-law likes Hui so much, why not let him educate Hui and we go traveling together."
"Didn't we have our honeymoon trip?" Sugawara Yoshiyo found it funny and even couldn't forget the trip as a couple.
"Let's wait until Xiaohui is a little older." said Sugawara Yoshiyo.
The red apple turned into a beautiful apple blossom under Shen'er's knife: "That brat, he couldn't even find any good points about his father."
"I have to think of a way to make that kid look at me with admiration." Shen Er secretly made up his mind.
On the other hand, after listening to her grandfather's private history class for half an hour, Sugawara Megumi has completely become her grandfather's little fan. The student-like spirit and overly young face that her grandfather can show when he can restrain himself always make Sugawara Megumi feel like she is talking to an older brother instead of her grandfather.
Little girl Megumi Sugawara held her face with a conflicted expression on her face, and her hands kept rubbing the little rabbit's ears.
Sugawara Michima picked up a summoned Shikigami, Tuotu, and put it in his hand with amusement: "Ahui, what's bothering you?"
"Grandpa is also a sorcerer?" Sugawara Megumi asked softly, "Can you also see different worlds?"
"Of course." Sugawara Michizane touched the corner of his eye. Although his six eyes were sealed by the power of Yin, he could still perceive various information nearby more easily than ordinary people.
"Did grandpa decide what he wanted to do in the future and what kind of person he wanted to be when he was a child?" Sugawara Megumi asked, with the closed book on her knees and a look of confusion on her little face.
"When I was your age, I had already decided on my life goals." Sugawara Michizane recalled his days as a high-ranking official, shaking his head. "But Hui, there's no need to rush."
"In the past, people were born early and died young due to poor living conditions, so they had to seize the moment. Times are different now." Sugawara Michizane patted his grandson's head. "Children of this age don't need to think too far ahead. Read more, play more, and see the scenery outside. Then one day you will know what you want to do."
"Even if I don't choose to exorcise those strange cursed spirits in the future, and I don't choose to become a medium," Sugawara Megumi whispered, "or become a detective like my mother."
Sugawara Megumi noticed that her grandfather burst into laughter: "Believe me, when your mother was little, she made sure that being a detective was definitely not an option for her future life."
"What was your mother like when she was a child?" Sugawara Megumi's attention was immediately diverted, and he heard a topic that interested him more.
Looking at his grandson with big watery eyes, Sugawara Michima subconsciously wanted to touch his beard. After touching nothing, he cleared his throat and said, "Your mother used to cry a lot. When she was at home, she never left the house..."
Compared with the warm Sugawara family, the atmosphere in the Mori family is much heavier at the moment.
Kogoro Mouri sat on the sofa with his face red with anger, and his medical examination report was placed on the coffee table.
"Dad, don't be angry." Mao Lilan persuaded her father to let her boyfriend go and handed him a bottle of beer.
Kudo Shinichi, with a bump on his head, put his glasses aside and bowed devoutly: "I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have used an anesthetic needle to knock you unconscious without your consent in order to solve the case."
Maori Kogoro sneered: "Haha, you only used the anesthetic needle?"
Kudo Shinichi didn't expect that Uncle Maori's memory would improve all of a sudden. He tried to bury his head in the floor: "There are also times when the situation is urgent and I use ashtrays and bricks——"
Before Kudo Shinichi could finish his words, Maori Kogoro transformed into a violent monster and tried to teach this guy a lesson: "Do you really like my daughter? How can you take the ashtray casually?"
"Dad, Shinichi really knows he was wrong." Maori Ran forcefully stopped Maori Kogoro.
Kudo Shinichi vaguely realized that he would never be able to become Uncle Mori's son-in-law.
Fortunately, it is not only Kudo Shinichi who has trouble sleeping tonight, but also the top leaders of the sorcery world.
The extremely terrifying spiritual pressure that appeared in various places in Tokyo and the residual cursed energy left behind made it difficult for many people to fall asleep. Those rotten oranges who had done a lot of bad things and thought that they could rest easy with the strongest person, Gojo Satoru, around and even wanted to clean up the sorcerer echelon and leave only the obedient first-level sorcerers, all kept their mouths shut.
The cruel truth was laid out before them. Gojo Satoru, who was only in the first year of high school, was not as strong as the newly emerged humanoid special-grade cursed spirit. In fact, if the cursed spirit had not killed him, Rokugan might have been gone.
Ye Moth Zhengdao, who was knitting a small sweater for his doll, looked at his student who had been a troublesome person since he entered school and was very alert.
As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. Considering Gojo Satoru's personality and his pride, he didn't go back to save face immediately after being defeated and even seems to be in a good mood now. This makes Ye Mo Zhengdao very worried that this guy is preparing a big surprise secretly.
Gojo Satoru and those high-ranking officials in the world of sorcery were not telling the truth. The high school boy who had countless servants and who commanded the Gojo family was very selfish and very unhappy with these old oranges who disliked him but couldn't kill him.
After the entire campus was silent, Gojo Satoru quietly left the dormitory.
"Bang! Bang!" With a loud noise, two even holes were smashed on the wall.
Shen Er crawled out of the cave and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, with a smile on his face: "I am very pleased to see that my father-in-law is in such good health."
Under the moonlight, Sugawara no Michizane sneered and slowly drew out his knife. With his good eyesight, he saw the silver arc appearing on his father-in-law's body, and faint thunder sounds came from the air.
"Fight with me." Gojo Satoru appeared on the wall and said casually.
Being completely ignored, Shen Er was full of questions. He used his arms to dig himself out of the wall and said, "I'm just discussing and exchanging feelings with my father-in-law. Who do you think you are?"
The arrogant high school boy just stared stubbornly at the guy with six eyes who rolled up his sleeves.
"Don't worry, just line up and it will be your turn soon." Sugawara no Michizane said slowly.
"Until then, go get in line behind me." Shen Er flexed his fully activated muscles, a hint of ferocity in his smile: "Father-in-law, please give me your guidance."

The author has something to say:
I wrote the image of Sugawara Michizane myself
In my mind, the younger version is probably the young Otsutsuki + 5t5 type
He looks bookish but can fight like crazy. He can tear the enemy apart with his bare hands with a warm smile.
