"That's right. Uncle, you've been accompanying me since yesterday, watching movies with me, taking care of me when I was sick, and cooking for me. You were worried about me this afternoon, so you opened the door and came to see me, right?"
"Just to see how your fever is going."
"You know, my father has never been so nice to me."
Fujii Itsuki's expression softened. "Maybe he just doesn't know how to express himself."
Jiu Huayue lowered her head even lower. "Uncle, you won't understand what I mean to him. The only important thing is that I am his daughter."
There was a hint of loss in Xiao Jiuhua's tone.
It seems there is some hidden story.
Seeing this, Fujii Itsuki put down the medicine first, "Actually, I was thinking about asking last night, Jiuhua, you are from the Takarazuka Music School, right?"
Jiuhuayue looked surprised.
"I knew some clues beforehand, and your mother told me directly. She called me this morning."
".What did you say?"
"Let me persuade you to go back to Tokyo."
".I knew it." Jiuhuayue looked dissatisfied.
"Jiuhua, I know your mother controls you too much, but she should have considered some things for you."
Jiu Huayue realized something was wrong, "Uncle, what do you mean by this? Are you speaking for my mother?"
"I don't think she's completely right, but at least the Takarazuka Revue is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you."
"."
"Please don't tell me the name of this thing." Jiu Huayue's face darkened.
"Nine flowers."
"I've already told you, don't tell me."
At this time, Fujii Itsuki realized that he had touched her minefield.
She hated the opera company.
"What's the reason?"
"There's no reason. I just don't want to say it."
Even if she didn't say it, Fujii Itsuki could guess roughly.
Takarazuka is famous for its perverted training that squeezes out the potential of its trainees.
Perhaps because of these reasons, Jiuhua felt considerable pressure and resistance to this thing.
"But isn't this all in the past? Now Jiuhua, you're an official member of the group. You've finally made it."
Jiu Huayue looked strong and looked at him directly: "Will you forget your childhood experiences when you grow up just because you were bullied as a child?"
“I choose not to think about it.”
Jiu Huayue pursed her lips and looked away, "But that's you, not me."
"Jiuhua is very reluctant to go back?"
"I've already said it! Don't talk about this or that. I'll have a lot of fun talking to you no matter what I say."
"But you'll have to face it sooner or later, won't you? Don't keep avoiding it. It's shameful to avoid it."
"It's shameful to run away, but it works! Now I just want to out of sight, out of mind!"
"What about the future? What are you going to do, Jiuhua? Are you going to keep arguing with your parents?"
"I--"
Xiao Jiuhua is in adolescence, which is actually also the rebellious age.
Jiuhua is indeed a good child, but her vision is too narrow. She only focuses on the present and does not quite realize the importance of the word "future".
This is Fujii Itsuki's social experience as a member of society, and it is the only point that he agrees with Mrs. Kuka's idea.
"Jiuhua, I'm going to say something next. Can you please listen to me? Or, can you listen to my opinion?"
"Well, uncle, go ahead and tell me."
"Don't be angry first. In fact, I agree with your mother on this point."
"." Jiuhuayue lowered her head and subconsciously clenched her fists, but did not speak.
Seeing that she was still listening, Fujii Itsuki continued:
"I've been with you for a few months, and I've also observed you at school for a few months. In fact, I found that you, Jiuhua, are a person who is easily lonely, but actually doesn't like being alone. You don't deny this, right?"
"."
"If what your mother said is true, you are indeed very capable and talented. Although I only know a little bit about Takarazuka, I also know what it means to be the top male role in the Takarazuka Moon Group.
"You are only sixteen years old. At just sixteen, you can perform as the TOP of a national opera troupe. Doesn't this prove your talent?
“In fact, if I were your mother and saw your current achievements, I would also like to believe that you could reach the top of this path, and I would also feel it’s a pity.
"so--"
Jiu Huayue interrupted him, but kept her face down, "Uncle, what do you want to say to me?"
"What I want to say is, since you don't like being alone, Jiuhua, then you can return to Tokyo and continue on this path. You will be successful and will attract everyone's attention. Your fans will always bring you emotional value."
"Uncle, you also want to persuade me to go back to Tokyo, right?"
“Just a suggestion.”
".I misjudged you."
"."
"Why do you think I came to Otaru and cried and told you so many things?"
"This is just my suggestion, Jiuhua. It's up to you to choose or not."
Jiuhuayue was obviously enduring something, but she remained silent and did not explode. Instead, she said to Fujii Itsuki with a sad face and a calm smile:
"But I don't need this advice at all, right? This is not what I need. Uncle, what you said doesn't mean that you and my mother have the same idea? Isn't it because I hate this that I came to Otaru?"
"But your mother is not wrong on this point."
"But I don't like that! Sorry, I have to go back upstairs to bed."
Fujii Itsuki wanted to say something, but Jiuhuayue acted decisively.
She walked out barefoot, regardless of whether she was wearing shoes or not.
She did not stay in the lobby or the living room for a moment. She walked up the marble steps barefoot and went up to the second floor alone.
Fujii Itsuki followed her out and wanted to call her to stop and ask her to take the medicine, but when he looked up, he saw Xiao Jiuhua wiping her tears while going upstairs.
She was very sad.
"."
Fujii Itsuki looked at the cold medicine in his hand and his own reflection in the water glass, feeling helpless.
It seems like I really experienced what it feels like to be a father for a day.
There is care, gratitude, and conflict.
Fujii Itsuki just wanted Jiuhua to take more time to think about it and make her own choice calmly.
After all, the achievements that can be achieved by the Takarazuka Revue are not something that can be achieved simply by learning something and working hard.
Let's talk to her properly tomorrow.
This kid isn't the type to not listen.
Chapter 86 Undercurrent surging
The next two days.
Fujii Itsuki didn't find an opportunity to talk to Jiuhuayue again.
When she woke up in the morning, Jiuhua had already gone to school.
Jiuhua no longer daydreams during class and leaves the classroom as soon as the class is over.
Hand in homework on time and eat meals on time.
I also attend the wind band practice activities on time in the afternoon.
It was that Jiu Huayue always made mistakes when practicing with everyone, which resulted in the poor performance of her group.
Fujii Itsuki could only arrange for the trumpet group to take a break and let the other groups continue practicing. This made everyone unhappy.
As soon as Jiuhua got home, she went straight upstairs and locked herself in the room.
Even if Fujii Itsuki wanted to have a private conversation with her through the teacher-student relationship, there was no reason to meet with her alone.
Jiuhua avoided me these past few days whenever she saw me. She didn’t look angry or resentful, but the word “indifference” was written on her face.
In the past few days, Fujii Itsuki has also been thinking about the impact of his actions on Jiuhua.
He recalled what he said a few days ago.
He was sure that he was giving Jiuhua a "suggestion", urging her to think more about her future.
In fact, he still respects Jiuhua's choice, and it is up to Jiuhua herself whether to go back or not.
No matter what, he would choose to respect Jiuhua's decision.
But Jiuhua smiled bitterly that day and said, "I don't need this advice at all."
Fujii Itsuki thought about this sentence carefully.
This shows that what she most likely hates is not her own behavior of advising her, but the fact that she actually has similar thoughts to her mother.
She thought that he didn't understand her and felt sad.
"I understand."
