One hundred and fifty-ninth chapter close to ink black
The heavy rain made the house scream.
In the mountains and the countryside, it is not like the city lights all night, and at night, there is almost no finger outside the house. What's more, it's a rainy night, the sky is dim and dark, and there is no light.
"Ata, come down and take a shower quickly-"
"yes--"
"Don't be too slow, it's all that Ah Tai hasn't taken a shower yet!"
"I understand!"
The little boy lying on the window on the second floor agreed with pleasure, but he didn't take any action. He turned around and looked out the window again.
The rainfall was astonishingly heavy, falling on the black tiles on the roof, gathering into a stream, and then leaping down, just like someone bringing a bathtub full of bath water to the roof and overturning it.
"Why is the rain getting heavier and heavier... I will go to that place with Axue and Youren tomorrow."
The rain was so intense that he was stunned for a while, and finally heard something else from it—the heavy steps as he walked upstairs and the hoarse moans of the wooden boards of the stairs.
"I'll go wash now!"
He quickly turned around and shouted, and when he turned his head, he seemed to see something more in the yard below.
The steps in the corridor didn't stop and were getting closer.
He turned his head back and with the light shining from the second floor room, he saw a lonely figure on the edge of his yard or on the cement road in the village.
It was raining so heavily, but the man didn't hold an umbrella and was walking slowly.
When he noticed, the other party suddenly stopped and bent down.
What is that person doing?
The little boy lay on the window ridge, couldn't help but lean forward, and then was pulled back by a force.
“…”
He turned his face upside down, and his mother, who was facing the light, was as tall as a mountain, and was more angry than King Kong.
"Go, take, and bath."
“…I’ll go now!”
He was dragged down the stairs after squeezed out of his throat.
Before leaving, I took a quick glance and the figure outside the yard had disappeared.
He was dragged into the bathroom, and he waited for a while, and then quietly came out.
Tips to the entrance, he stretches out three big black umbrellas that can be stuffed into him and walks into the heavy rain.
Dadadadadadadada—
I walked through the yard and came to the place where the figure had just stopped. The wet concrete floor was shining with shattering light, and nothing else.
He squatted down, the big umbrella blocked the glimmer, and the bottom suddenly turned black.
Just as he was about to get up, a pale hand suddenly appeared on the ground. He fell back in fear and sat on the concrete floor, and saw clearly the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him.
woman?
"hehe……"
She looked at him, reached out to press the concrete floor, and actually raised a small hole-hole coin from it.
"Are you looking for this?"
"Five Yuan coins?" A feeling of wetness and coldness came from under his butt, obviously wet, and he didn't care about it, just stared at the beautiful woman in front of him, "How did you do it?"
"I am God."
“…”
Strange woman.
He turned and asked, "What are you doing?"
“I’m marking.”
"mark?"
"Leave a mark that I have been here. Although I don't remember myself, how many times I have passed by here."
"Do you come here often...I haven't seen you."
The beautiful woman laughed softly and stuffed the five-yuan coin back into the cement floor without any trace on the surface.
"I have never seen you. Are you willing to go with me?"
“Hey…where to go?”
“Anywhere.”
Her beauty and the mysterious temperament all over her body have a fatal attraction to men of any age, and he almost nodded in agreement.
But he has one more important thing.
"No, I will go to the secret base with Axue and Youren tomorrow."
"hehe……"
She stood up, and then he noticed that she was not holding an umbrella, but she could not see any dampness on her body. As soon as the rain fell on her, she automatically avoided it.
"Then you stay here and watch it for me."
She pointed to the place where the five-yuan coin disappeared, and he looked down for a while, unable to figure it out.
When I looked up again, the surroundings were dark and empty, with only continuous heavy rain.
......
When we arrived at another stop, the tram slowly slowed down and stopped beside the platform.
The middle-aged man sitting in the corner picked up his briefcase and walked out of the carriage. On the other side, two college students came up and found a place to sit down.
Zong Gu looked at them a few times, then listened to the sound outside, and said, "The rain seems to have stopped here."
Kyoko nodded, "Soya is about to arrive at the station."
"I have to take two more stops than Kyoko."
She quickly reacted and laughed softly.
“It’s already very late.”
"It's not that short of time."
"Um."
Soya continued to look at her for a while and said, "Can Kyoko fall asleep today?"
"no problem."
Kyoko looked back at him and nodded with affirmative attitude, "Soya doesn't have to worry."
"That's good."
After a minute or two, the empty tram restarted again.
The carriage swayed slightly, and the two approached each other a little.
Under the short sleeves of summer uniforms, the arms are pressed together without any obstruction, and they are also feeling the warmth of each other on a slightly cool rainy night.
As the time was almost over, Soya spoke, "What is Mr. Sugawara's attitude towards Kyoko now?"
“…”
She looked at him, not surprised by his sudden problem, "My father cares more about me than before."
"Mr. Sugawara is really worried that Kyoko will leave the shrine and leave."
"Um."
"So..." Soya noticed her expression, "I don't think Kyoko has to keep an opposite attitude all the time."
Kyoko just looked at him calmly, "Does Sonya mean to ask me to lie to my father?"
“It’s just one form.”
He nodded and continued to explain, "The conflict between Kyoko and Mr. Sugawara has been revealed, and it is meaningless to hide it at this time."
"It seems that Mr. Sugawara has chosen a roundabout way and intends to soften Kyoko with means such as family affection. Since Kyoko's determination will not be shaken, it is better to take advantage of the situation and let the father-daughter relationship go back.
Go to the previous state.”
"After all, I won't leave Kinki immediately. We still have a lot of time."
She smiled when she heard "we".
"Then do it like this."
"..." Zong Gu looked at her.
"What's wrong?" Kyoko asked.
"Nothing." Soya shook his head, "I just found that Kyoko was always calm, as if I was prepared... Or was it actually Kyoko planned that way?"
She smiled slightly and nodded again.
“My father’s attitude towards the institution has been deeply rooted for more than twenty years. Unlike my father, I only stick to my own pursuits and have no intention of changing his ideas;
According to the plan, Soya will leave Kinki for at least six or seven years, and I... have a lot of time. Before that, I had no other place to go except staying in the shrine.
So, as long as you give a little superficial compromise and obedience, my father and I will not have any conflicts again for the time being."
"Is it 'compromise'..." Soya looked at her, "I thought I would never hear this word from the serious Kyoko in my life."
"Those who are close to the vermilion are red, and those who are close to the ink are black... I have also become a little bit cunning."
"Don't think that if I omit the middle sentence, I can't hear it."
Kyoko's mouth curled.
This feeling of mutual understanding made her unconsciously straighten her legs, shake her toes, and draw a circle.
The tram continues to move forward.
More than twenty minutes later, the two got off the car together at Nojo.
"I'll take you home."
"Um."
After being sent all the way to Sugawara's family, Tamako seemed to have been waiting for her sister. When she saw the two people at the door, she immediately came out to greet her.
"elder sister!"
The sisters' father, Takayuki Sugawara, came out with her.
"Sorry, Father. You're worried about coming back so late."
"It's okay...just come back."
He nodded and responded to his eldest daughter, not mentioning anything about her skipping class for a day, turning off her phone, and not accepting anyone's contact.
"Good evening, Mr. Sugawara."
"Zonggujun."
Sugawara Takayuki looked at Soya who sent his daughter back, greeted him, and then watched him say goodbye and leave.
After waiting for him to walk far, Kyoko turned around and returned to the yard. Tamako followed, and the two sisters looked at each other and smiled.
Sugawara Takayuki thought something.
"After that being said, Kyoko... did you say that Soya Kwan came from the northeast last time?"
"Yes. Soya is from Miyagi Prefecture."
"What does his family do? Do their parents work in Kinki?"
"No, the family of Zong Gu's family was killed in the tsunami. He grew up in a children's welfare home."
“…”
Sugawara Takayuki was stunned for a while.
Soon, an idea that concerns the future of the Sugawara family naturally emerged from the depths of his mind.
