Chapter 452 Childhood Wishes
Since you have decided to keep the little fox, you have to give it a name.
Originally, Hanyu Kusunoki was going to call it Yingying Monster.
However, it was unanimously rejected by the sisters Mingmei and Xiaoai.
Finally, they took a step back and changed their name to "嘤嘤".
"Okay, little fox, you will be called Yingying from now on."
Hanyu Kusunoki gently stroked the little fox that was still lying quietly in his arms, and spoke softly.
"Hey~"
The little fox poked out its furry little head confusedly, blinking its big round eyes, as if reacting to the new name, but as if it didn't fully understand the meaning.
But no matter what, it still responded obediently with a soft whimper.
Then, it turned its head timidly and observed the surrounding situation. When it found that Bobo had been driven out of the living room by Xiao Ai, its ears, which had been drooping, immediately stood up again.
Then, with a nimble leap, the little fox leaped from Hanyu Kusunoki's arms and onto the table.
Under Xiao Ai's bright gaze, the little fox ran towards her, stopped beside her hand holding the pen, stuck out its pink little tongue, and licked the back of Xiao Ai's hand carefully and extremely gently.
"Ah...haha, oooh, it's so itchy~"
Xiao Ai was amused by the little fox's sudden affectionate behavior and laughed.
The little fox jumped happily, its furry tail swaying from side to side like a broom. It gently licked Xiaoai's cheeks and neck with its pink little tongue, causing Xiaoai to twist her body constantly to avoid it, but she could not escape the little guy's enthusiastic intimacy.
But that’s not all. After licking Xiao Ai, the little fox ran towards Mingmei who was smiling at the side, then pounced on her chest and let out a continuous stream of whimpering.
As expected, the sisters Ai and Mingmei were completely captivated by the little fox's invincible cuteness.
Even Hanyu Kusunoki could not help but sigh: "This raccoon is so scary."
He understands human nature so well at such a young age.
Is this the innate talent of the fox clan?
in the yard,
Bobo, who was ruthlessly driven out by Xiao Ai, stared through the window at the little fox who was surrounding the three people inside and acting cute. His eyes were blazing with fire, and the hair on his forehead stood up, looking very angry.
It turns out that love does not disappear, it just shifts.
Seeing that the boss was angry, the little brother Bai Ge immediately came over and cooed twice, ready to give the boss advice.
A qualified younger brother needs to share the boss's worries at such a critical moment.
After all, it had participated in the bullying of the little fox before. If it were to be favored by the other party, its life would be miserable.
"wave~"
"Cuckoo~"
"Hey~"
Suddenly, there was one more camp in the villa.
Bobo, plants, and the newly added little fox.
A new struggle is about to begin.
……
Osaka.
In the quiet Hattori residence, Ikenami Shizuka, dressed in a simple kimono, sat upright on the tatami, her white jade-like fingers gently holding a letter, her beautiful eyes slightly dazed at the moment.
The envelope placed on the table had a stamp on its surface proving that the letter was from Dongdu.
Ikenami Shizuka just stared at the letter quietly, and time seemed to stand still at this moment, until a breeze blew quietly from outside the house, gently blowing the hair on her forehead and the letter paper in her hand, and she slowly came back to her senses.
She gently placed the letter she had just read flat on the table, picked up a pen to hold it down, then picked up the envelope and took out a photo from it.
In the photo, a heroic young man is holding a wooden sword and practicing swordsmanship with full concentration.
Ikeba Shizuka stared at the boy in the photo, her eyes flashing with complex light, as if she had a thousand words to say but couldn't.
As the light waves flow, it is difficult to tell what she is really thinking at the moment.
The bright sunshine outside the window poured in through the gaps in the window and fell on the tatami, forming pieces of light and shadows of various shapes.
After a long time, Ikebo Shizuka put the photo back into the envelope. Then she reached out for the mobile phone beside her and dialed a phone number.
"Drip drop~"
There was a series of beeps from the phone, followed by the cold mechanical sound of the call not being connected.
Ikeba Shizuka looked calm about the result and didn't seem surprised.
However, under the contact of his son in the mobile phone, there was another missed call record.
She lowered her eyes slightly, her gaze fell on the screen, and with a light swipe of her slender fingers, she dialed another number.
This time, after a series of rings, the call was connected.
However, after the call was connected, both parties were silent, and no one spoke first to break the silence.
Just like that, several minutes passed before Hattori Heizo's dull voice finally came from the other end of the phone: "What's wrong?"
"I'm going to Dongdu."
"it is good."
At this point, the two were once again speechless.
One phone call, three sentences, ten words.
In the end, it was Hattori Heizo who couldn't bear the depressing atmosphere and hung up the silent call.
As the phone was hung up, Shizuka Ikeba put down her phone, picked up the letter, and prepared to put it in the envelope.
But while putting it in, she couldn't help but take a few more glances.
The content of the letter seemed very simple, and the whole letter was filled with the boy's overflowing longing.
In short, the whole piece of paper is filled with “I miss my Master, I miss my Master, I miss my Master.”
After putting away the letter, Ikeba Shizuka stood up and walked to the window.
She looked quietly at the cherry tree in the yard, then took out a gold-gilt silver hairpin that was split into two from her arms, held it in her hand, and looked at it for a long time.
My pupils gradually lost focus and my thoughts drifted to the past.
When she was a child, she was as naughty and playful as other children of her age. One day, by chance, she found the wooden box containing this hairpin on her mother's dressing table.
At that time, she didn't know what these things meant. She just thought that the items in the wooden box were very beautiful, so she happily pestered her mother to take them for herself.
Finally, it was her mother who picked her up and told her that these things could only be given to her when she grew up.
The little girl didn't understand, so she asked.
Mom said this was a girl’s dowry.
Dowry? What is Dowry?
She still doesn't understand.
Mom patiently explained to her for a long time.
At that time, she finally realized that girls have to get married when they grow up, and dowry is the gift a girl brings to her future husband.
So, she excitedly took out a hairpin from the wooden box, held it high in her hand, and shouted loudly that when she grew up, she would find the best husband in the world and give all her dowry to him.
Her mother held her like that and said with a smile: Our little Jinghua must grow up quickly, and then find a good husband who loves and cares for you, and be a virtuous and kind wife.
She nodded vigorously and said yes, confidently declaring that she would definitely become a good wife like her mother.
She began to look forward to growing up.
Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.
More than 30 years have passed, and that smiling girl seems to have really fulfilled the wish she made.
But, maybe, there is no...
Ikenami Shizuka, just like the girl she used to be, gently raised the hairpin in her hand.
The sunlight poured down on the half gold-gilded silver hairpin, gleaming a soft light.
A breeze blew by, blowing up the gauze curtains by the window, and silently touching a string of my heart.
