The family of three stared at Uchiha Sasuke's back in silence...

After a while, Uchiha Mikoto, still holding the phone, said with a helpless expression: "Sasuke, I really like straps..."

"Well..." Uchiha Fugaku said with a smile, "After all, Miss Otoko is gentle and considerate, and Sasuke only has an older brother and no sister, so he probably treats Otoko as a sister."

"Really..." Uchiha Mikoto tilted her head slightly, and then smiled, "It would be great if the child is really our child, I will be very happy."

"Hahahahahaha..." Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but laugh, "Then unless Itachi works hard, it's probably impossible."

Uchiha Itachi: "..." Well, at this time, should he say "Okay, father"? Forget it, it will scare him.

Uchiha Mikoto couldn't help but laugh and complained: "Even so, the possibility of Itachi getting married is greater, right? After all, it is the patriarch's family."

Uchiha Fugaku: "..." He was silent for a moment, and then decisively admitted his coercion, "Then forget it." Although all the clan members who love the clan dream of being close to the clan leader, but... Itachi is

The eldest son, the excellent eldest son who had shouldered countless expectations and trusts from him since he was a child, he was really reluctant to send him out to "bring in".

Uchiha Itachi: "..."

Uchiha Mikoto chuckled.

The three people who were laughing and chatting in the room did not see that the young man who was sitting at the entrance and putting on his shoes had already darkened his face slightly. Then, he put on his coat and opened the door: "I'm going out!"

"Be careful on the road." Uchiha Mikoto responded in a loud voice, and then lowered her voice and asked, "Sasuke couldn't hear our conversation just now, right?"

Uchiha Itachi said helplessly: "Mother, it's too late to lower your voice now." The time to lower your voice was just now, right?

"Just listen if you hear it." Uchiha Fugaku said optimistically, "It's just casual chat anyway. Itachi, are you getting ready to go out? I'm already late this morning anyway, so I might as well give you a ride."

Uchiha Itachi hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Well, I'll trouble you, father."

"Why are you so polite between father and son?" Uchiha Fugaku raised his hand and patted the eldest son's shoulder.

Soon...

The father and son sat in Uchiha Fugaku's car together.

Uchiha Fugaku said while driving: "Itachi, what is your destination?"

"Nanhe University."

"That's just the way. I can just go to the company after I see you off." After Uchiha Fugaku finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment, and then said helplessly, "Itachi, is that why you agreed to me?"

"Um?"

"Even if I give it to you, it won't cause any trouble to me."

Uchiha Itachi was silent for a moment and replied: "After all, father, you like your job very much. If you can, you still want to arrive at the company as early as possible, right? In fact, I didn't delay too long in the morning, and it's totally time to go now."

"..."

Uchiha Fugaku was silent for a long time, then suddenly said——

"Sorry, Itachi."

"What?" Uchiha Itachi, who was sitting on the same side of the back seat, looked up in the rearview mirror in surprise - when traveling with his family, if he was not in the driver's seat, he would basically choose to sit on the same side as the driver.

The reason is very simple. In the event of an emergency, the driver does not need to consider which way to turn the steering wheel, whether to save himself or others, and can simply avoid the source of danger as much as possible.

Coincidentally, Uchiha Fugaku was also looking at his eldest son through the rearview mirror. After the two looked at each other for a few seconds, he returned his attention to driving, and then said bitterly with a little guilt: "No... I just suddenly remembered

, Itachi, you have been a very worry-free child since you were a child."

"?"

"Unlike Sasuke, who likes to be coquettish and make demands, he basically doesn't make any demands on your mother and me. Ever since I was a child, I have been able to handle everything well by myself, unless it is an occasion like a parent-teacher meeting where we must attend.

, otherwise we will basically not be asked to participate. In daily life, try not to cause trouble to me and your mother."

"What's wrong with this?"

"No, this is very good." Uchiha Fugaku said quickly, and then, slowing down his speech slightly, he said with emotion, "In fact, I have always been proud of this, and I often brag about it in front of others."

Uchiha Itachi nodded: "Yes."

"But lately, I've often been thinking," Uchiha Fugaku said with a somewhat gloomy look, "Itachi, why on earth have you become so independent and reliable? Is it because you're not a good parent enough, so you have to

If you don’t work hard in silence, does this mean that Mikoto and I have not actually fulfilled our parental duties to you?"

"...Father," Uchiha Itachi widened his eyes slightly, "Why do you think so." He really didn't expect to hear his father say these words one day.

"Suddenly..." Uchiha Fugaku said bitterly, "But it seems a little too late to realize this now, Itachi, after all, you have grown so old in the blink of an eye. After going to college, tuition, rent, and living expenses will

I earn everything by myself, I never take any money from home, and I often give Sasuke pocket money... It’s not an exaggeration to say that I am completely independent."

"Father..." Uchiha Itachi sighed slightly, and then showed a gentle smile, "You have really changed a lot recently."

"Well... taking Sasuke's incident as an opportunity, coupled with the persuasion of the young lady, I have been seriously reflecting on it recently." Uchiha Fugaku said half-jokingly, "So far, it seems that the results are good. At least, we

Sasuke never ran away from home again."

Uchiha Itachi couldn't help laughing, then, with a slightly solemn expression, he said seriously: "Father, you are worrying too much. You and your mother may indeed have some problems, but they are definitely not irresponsible or even bad parents. I can feel it.

, you and your mother have been doing your best to give me and Sasuke everything we need, and have also created a more comfortable and comfortable living environment for us than ordinary people." But many times, there are some problems with the method... For example, my father

Excessive authoritarianism, old-fashioned, self-talk, and the mother's sometimes excessive pampering and indulgence (not only for Sasuke, but also for his father). However, this problem is widespread among Uchiha parents and is not unique to them.

Yes. To be honest, he did not expect that his parents would begin to reflect on themselves and try to change their attitude towards them at this age.

Perhaps we should thank Sasuke for his willful running away from home, which triggered various changes.

However, we must not do that kind of thing again...

He was really frightened.

So far, the only one who can do this is Sasuke.

Let’s get back to business——

"Because of this, Sasuke and I were able to freely pursue everything we wanted since childhood." Uchiha Itachi continued in a coherent manner, "What I am today is absolutely inseparable from the efforts of my father and mother. So.

, please don’t think that you have done nothing for me, you have done enough. As for what you just said... To be honest, on the one hand, it is indeed due to my personal personality," he showed a helpless expression, "

As you said just now, father, I don’t seem to like causing trouble to others since I was a child. In the words of brother Zhisui, even if I have something on my mind, I like to hide it in my heart and try to think hard." Then, I will say to him.

People you truly trust reach out for help.

"Indeed," Uchiha Fugaku nodded in agreement, "Itachi, you like to think so much that I once thought you would become a philosopher when you grow up, studying things that are incomprehensible to people all day long."

"Philosophers probably can't support themselves." Uchiha Itachi couldn't help laughing again.

"It's okay," Uchiha Fugaku replied with a smile, "If it was before, I might still be worried and entangled, but it doesn't matter now. Itachi, just do what you like like Sasuke. Our family is not short of money anyway.

"At worst, it's not a big problem for him, an old father, to continue raising his two sons. Anyway, according to Uchiha customs, executives like them will have generous pensions even if they retire. They have also saved a lot over the years, plus they inherited from before

The inheritance from their ancestors... Well, in short, their family is very rich.

"Sorry, father, I really don't have any ambition in this area at the moment." Uchiha Itachi continued, "Getting back to the subject, on the other hand, I realized that I was an older brother when I was very young, and I hope that I can become what Sasuke thinks I am.

A good role model." This is not a lie, but the truth. Sasuke has regarded his brother as an idol since he was a child. How could he let his brother down?

"Itachi, you are indeed a very good brother." Uchiha Fugaku said with slight emotion, "Occasionally seeing the way you brothers get along, I want to be Sasuke more than you, hahahahaha... It's a pity that I am an only child."

"..." Uchiha Itachi thought for a moment and Sasuke's face turned into that of his father... How should I put it, his brother suddenly didn't love him enough. Of course, these words must not be said out loud.

"Well... Anyway, Itachi, thank you for your comfort." Uchiha Fugaku continued to concentrate on driving the car, and said by the way, "I know that you probably didn't tell the whole truth."

"..."

"But I'm very happy that you are willing to communicate with me like this."

"Father……"

"So, if you encounter any troubles in the future, if you need any help... no, even if you just suddenly want to find someone to discuss some small matters, you can always come to me at any time. I will be waiting with great anticipation."

Uchiha Itachi was startled for a moment, then showed a smile again and nodded gently: "Okay, father."

"Then it's settled."

"Um."

"But before that, you have to do me a little favor."

"Father, tell me."

"After your mother went to the beauty salon in the afternoon, she definitely hoped to get some compliments. After so many years, I have almost used up my compliments. Last time your mother said, 'Anada, you are more beautiful than beautiful.

Can't you say something else? You make me feel very unfulfilled...', it's really a headache... It's good to be honest, right? Hey, in short, help me think about it. Ah, no need

Tell me now and just send me a message later. I will find opportunities to practice more during the day."

"..." Uchiha Itachi suppressed a smile and replied, "Okay, I will try my best."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Uchiha Fugaku said with unavoidable worry, "In this regard, Sasuke seems to be more like me. Will he be able to make his little girlfriend happy in the future?"

"No problem." Itachi Uchiha replied confidently to his younger brother, "After all, he is so good-looking, so it would be fine if he doesn't speak." Or...well, it's best not to speak in many cases.

"That's right!" Uchiha Fugaku first agreed with the eldest son's point of view, but then came back to his senses——

Um?

etc……

Does Itachi mean that I'm not good-looking enough?

No, no, no, no?

Definitely not! After all, my two sons have inherited their handsomeness from me!
