Chapter XXIV
"Tsk."
In the middle of the night, Cang sat in a dimly lit room, slowly untying the bandage on his leg.
"Hmm, tsk." After he undid all of them, he picked up the medicine bottle and applied it to the painful area.
"As expected, I was too impulsive that day."
That day, when Cang went out to meet Gui, he had predicted an ominous premonition and was too impulsive. On the way, he tripped once, but at least this time it was not as serious as the last time.
It was just a small crutch.
After applying the medicine, he wrapped it with a new bandage. Not only could it cover up the medicine, but it could also cover up the smell.
In order not to worry everyone, he had to do this.
After everything was done, Cang lay down and held his head with both hands. He quietly looked at the ceiling and pondered.
At this moment, the door was pulled open. Cang heard the sound and sat up.
"Dome!"
Qiong didn't say anything, his face filled with worry and unease. Cang looked at her quietly.
“........”
Qiong walked over and laid down beside Cang.
" Sigh…" Cang was speechless as he laid down and turned his back to Qiong.
Qiong didn't have any intention of turning over. He just quietly looked at his back, feeling very uneasy.
(Mo Feifei knows)
Cang thought, but the pajamas that were gathered together made him gradually close his eyes.
..............
(In the dream, Cang saw flames and a burning house. In the burning house, there was a black rabbit that was slowly being corroded by the flames.)
The next day…
"Looks like you don't have a fever…It's just a heatstroke."
Cang held the thermometer in his hand and shook it to see if there was any problem.
" Are you leaving?" Qiong said calmly.
Cang stood up and said to Qiong,
"If anything happens, remember to text me or Yu. I'll be back immediately."
"Yes…" Qiong nodded slightly.
Only then did Cang relax and walk out of the room.
After Cang left, Qiong lay down and hugged Rabbit tightly.
"Cang!"
...........
"I'm very sorry for making everyone worry that day."
You said to everyone,
"Well, don't mind the past ~" Liang Ping said straightforwardly.
" Yes, and it was great that You-Jun was fine at that time," Ying said with a smile.
" But I was really shocked when I first heard about it," Cang Yongshao sighed.
"Cang Yong…Even you know that I'm drowning?”You asked her doubtfully.
"You Jun, the class monitor went with us at that time ~" Ying reminded.
" Oh, that's true. I almost forgot." You scratched her head in embarrassment.
" Ah, so you haven't noticed me all this time. This hurts my heart." Cang Yongshao made a heartbreaking gesture.
"Then I'm really sorry. How many people still know about this?”
" This town is so small," Ying said with a smile.
"But Nao did a really good job at that time ~ As expected of the next head of the swimming club!”Liang Ping said excitedly,
"Beautiful? What do you mean?" Evershoot asked.
You took a step back and Ryohira whispered into Nagasaki's ear.
"Senior Yiyuan…Do CPR for Kasugano?!!”Yongshao took a few steps back in surprise.
"Cang Yong, didn't you see it?" Ying asked.
"I... I've never heard of this! I was... I only heard that Kasugano was drowning, and when I rushed over, Kasugano was already awake!”Cang Yong shouted with a red face,
" That's right! Mouth to mouth!" Liang Ping made a vulgar and mushy gesture.
"Liang…Liang Ping!" You really couldn't listen to it anymore. It was too shameful!
You suddenly froze for a moment, as if she had remembered something. She looked around.
"Where's Cang?"
" Oh, Chaozheng was called by the teacher to pack up his materials. He should be back soon," Cang Yong replied.
"Is that so…"
At the same time, Cang had just returned from his business and did not seem to be in a good mood.
"Oh, Cang is here" Liang Ping said
"Chaozheng…Classmates?" Yongshao said
"Cang…Jun?" Wei said
You tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said,
"That Cang."
"Yes…" Cang tidied up the desk while responding gently.
"That... Thank you for saving me back then…"
The people present did not dare to speak. Cang lowered his head and thought for a moment, then revealed a nonchalant smile.
She gently patted his back."The past..." There was no need to worry about it…You're not wrong."
"But... Your leg…"
"It's an old problem. Don't worry."
"Yeah." You reluctantly nodded.
The scene fell silent…
"Well, well, Cang is right. It's all in the past. You don't have to blame yourself. Let me tell everyone! When I drowned that day! I saw the scene when Cang saved him ~"
Liang Ping broke the silence and shouted excitedly,
" Sigh, it can't be! I didn't even see it!" Ying sighed.
"Really?" Cang Yong asked.
"And then? And then?"
"Then, ah ~ Finger Jiancang took off his shirt and threw it aside! He quickly ran out! He jumped into the water! Save You ~"
Liang Ping made a very exaggerated move.
"Sigh, really? Chaozheng is so awesome!"
"Lord Cang has always been so powerful ~"
"Ryohei, you know too much ~" Cang sighed helplessly.
"But I'm telling the truth ~ Cang, you did save You, right?”
" There's no need to be so straightforward."
" That's right, Brother Liangping. Cang Jun also has his own secrets." Ying pouted and said.
"Even you"
.................
Qiong sat alone in front of his house, on the floor of the corridor, his head lowered in deep thought.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the house. Qiong One was so excited that he ran out of the house without even putting on his shoes.
After he walked out, he stopped. He was just a courier. After leaving the package, he drove away on his electric bike.
Qiong lowered his head dejectedly and looked at the ground. He felt a sharp pain from time to time as he stepped on the ground.
afternoon
" Here, this is for You Jun and Little Qiong." Ying handed two tickets to You.
"Thank you."
"This year's Summer Festival, the most eye-catching shop is selling Turkish sandwiches ~" Ying smiled at You. Nao. Cang said
The three of them exchanged glances.
"Turkish sandwich?"
" It's that Turkish sandwich!"
Cang had been staring at Ying's face. He knew that Ying was actually feeling very uncomfortable. Her smile might be forced to be fake.
" Oh, I see! Then this year's Summer Festival will definitely be very lively!" Nao sighed.
"That's right ~ Currently, the uncles are still preparing for the summer festival. Let's go there and take a look first. Cang, do you want to go?”You asked Cang,
Cang smiled and shook his head," No, I won't go. I have to go home and prepare dinner for Qiong."
"Is that so? Alright then, we'll go shopping first."
"Yeah," she said.
After saying that, Yu and Nao walked towards the Summer Ritual's preparation ground.
After the two of them left, Cang looked at Ying.
"Then, I should go prepare for the divine music and dance!”Ying came over with a smile and said to Cang,
Cang quietly looked at her smiling face.
(A fake smile…)
"See you tomorrow then! Lord Cang!" Ying turned around and ran out.
Cang smiled as he looked at her back and waved his hand.
"Then next…"
Youna 'er
The preparations for the Summer Festival went very smoothly. Almost all the adults in the town came to the shrine to prepare for this year's Summer Festival. Even the stall owners from other places came to set up stalls here.
Yuu and Nao walked side by side on the Summer Festival.
"We're almost there." You looked at the map on the ticket and said,
" Yes, when the ceremony is about to begin, I'm looking forward to the opening of the ceremony!" Nao sighed as she watched the preparations for the Summer Festival.
You lowered her head and pondered for a while before stopping.
"Hey, Nao."
"Hmm?" Nao turned around.
" Before the Summer Ritual arrives, I'll explain my relationship with Naxu to Qiong."
You said firmly and seriously,
Nao smiled slightly." There's no need to be in such a hurry..." Everyone has their own different spiritual steps. As long as everyone is happy, it will take a lot of time."
"Nao…" Hearing Nao's words, You sighed in satisfaction.
other side
In the blink of an eye, Cang was almost home. Along the way, he was still thinking about Ying, Ichiha, and Nao Yuu. These three troublemakers surrounded him, but he still hadn't been able to get rid of them.
He didn't know if the solution he came up with would be effective, but it was better to take it slow. However, he had to resolve one of them before the Xia Ritual.
(Cell phone ringing) Suddenly, a text message came from the cell phone.
Cang took out his phone and opened it. It was from Qiong.
Cang looked at the message and his pupils constricted slightly.
"Ah!"
He immediately ran out! He ran home with all his might. Although his legs were still throbbing in pain, none of this mattered anymore!
"Ha ~ ha ~!"
In the blink of an eye, Cang had already run home. He hurriedly opened the door!
"Qiong! Ah!"
Cang was stunned the moment he entered the door. Qiong had already fallen to the ground, lying there quietly.
"Qiong!" Cang hurriedly ran over to help her up.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell…"
Just as he finished speaking, Qiong suddenly wrapped his arms around Cang's neck and leaned over, calmly saying,
" Didn't Cang say that he would be back soon?" Although his tone was calm, it was as if he was questioning her.
Following that, Qiong hugged Cang and said with some grievance,
"Don't leave my side"
..........
(Cell phone ringtone) You took out her cell phone and opened the message.
"Is it from Little Qiong?" Nao asked.
"No, sorry. I'll go back first. Goodbye."
"Ah, goodbye!"
Yuu immediately turned around and ran down the shrine, leaving Nao standing there quietly watching him leave.
.........
Cang Fa put down his phone and sighed. He picked up the thermometer and looked at it.
36 degrees, still no fever
He turned to look at Qiong. She was using a spoon to order ice cream and then took a few chips.
Cang didn't care about her and sighed helplessly. His heart was filled with a lot of anger.
next day
In the morning, Nao was already waiting at the entrance of her house. Just as You and Cang were about to leave for school, they saw her.
" Good morning, Xiaoyou, Aokun." Nao had a natural smile on her face, which made people's hearts feel very comfortable.
"Good morning, Nao."
" Good morning, Nao." You and Cang smiled together and replied.
"Let's go together."
"Yeah," she said.
Just as You and Cang were about to follow, Qiong suddenly ran out and stood in front of them.
"You and Cang can't go anywhere! Cang, you can't leave me!"
"Dome!"
"In that case, can't we just go to school together?”You said calmly,
"Ah, I don't want to go."
After You heard this, she frowned and walked past Qiong. Qiong was surprised to see You walk past him coldly.
Yuu stood on Nao's side just like that.
"This is not good…"
" Cang, let's go." Nai Xu wanted to help Qiong You persuade her, but she didn't give him the chance.
Cang was stunned for a moment before he silently lowered his head.
"I…"
Qiong tilted his head and looked at Cang.
"Which one do you choose…"
"Which one? "What are you talking about, Qiong?" You said sternly.
"You, shut up. Let me ask you... Which one to choose…I... "It's still that woman." Qiong calmly looked at Cang, who had her head lowered.
Cang shook his head subtly. Qiong noticed it and his expression became uneasy.
Cang took a few steps forward and stopped beside Qiong.
"If anything happens, I'll definitely come back. I promise."
Cang had just taken a few steps when his hand was suddenly pulled by Qiong. Qiong was extremely uneasy and his expression seemed to be saying,'Don't go, don't leave me'.
Cang didn't want to leave either, but he couldn't understand the meaning behind Qiong's actions, so he chose to ignore him.
Qiong seemed to have noticed Cang's thoughts and let go of his hand reluctantly.
"I'm setting off!"
Only then did Cang walk past Yunio.
"What happened to Little Qiong?"
" It's nothing. She'll get better." You comforted her.
"Is it really nothing?"
" Yeah, she's fine." You confirmed.
" Mm." Nao looked at the courtyard worriedly. Qiong had already disappeared.
.............
During class, Cang would occasionally check his phone to see if Qiong would send him a message.
But still no message came
"It will become like this. On the left side of this place..."
.............
In the blink of an eye, school was over. The three of them walked on the road in the fields with their heads lowered. They were not in the mood and did not say a word. Their minds were filled with thoughts about Qiong.
other side
"Eh? So this story wasn't true?”Ying suddenly shouted in surprise,
"It just so happened that the wood grain of the stick formed a winning pattern. This is probably the origin of this story, just like an urban legend."
Hachi and Ying chatted while eating popsicles.
"Ah! After all, this is a run-down village. There's no such thing as a legend ~"
As Eight Seeker spoke, Ying took a big bite of the last popsicle!
"Ah, it didn't hit... It was true…I told the fake story to Little Qiong…"
other side
" We're back." Cang and You walked into the house. You took off her shoes and walked into the house.
"Qiong,"
Cang stood rooted to the ground and observed the room. At this moment, he noticed that Qiong's shoes were not on the ground.
“... Ah!"
He had a bad feeling and quickly ran to Qiong's room.
"Eh? What's wrong?"
Cang didn't bother with You and directly opened the door to Qiong's room.
no one
"Damn it!"
(Cell phone ringing)
A text message came from his phone. Cang hurriedly opened it to read.
(Leave this place, Cang…)
Cang gritted his teeth and immediately ran out!
"Cang! What happened?"
Cang hurriedly turned around! "Qiong is gone!"
..........
The two of them immediately ran out of the house and walked to the road. They saw Nao around the corner.
"Ah, you guys came at the right time. I have a little gift for Little Qiong."
"There's no time to care about this now! Qiong is gone!" Cang shook Nao's shoulder very roughly.
"Cang! Cang! Calm down!" Yu quickly went to stop him.
Cang also covered his head and walked to the side to calm down.
Looking at Nao
"That... Dome, she... Not at home "
Nao panicked and ran over to put her hand on his shoulder.
"You, didn't you say that Little Qiong is fine? Is it okay?"
Facing Nao's accusation, You felt very inferior.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Nao let go of him.
"In any case, we have to find Little Qiong first."
"Yes... Yes!"
Nao immediately ran out, and You followed. You stopped and looked back at Cang, then followed him.
Cang's brain was in a mess as he tried his best to think about where Qiong was and why!
(No, now is not the time to think about this!）
Cang quickly took out his phone and made a call.
"Hey! One leaf! It's me..."
...........
other side
"Ah... Yes!" Qiong pushed his bicycle along the empty road.
He didn't bring any luggage, only the rabbit that he had always carried with him.
"Ha ~ ha ~ sigh? Ah... Ah!" The bicycle suddenly became unstable and fell into a small stream. Qiong also fell down with the bicycle.
..........
Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening,
You and Nao were walking on the field road. You looked down at her head and read the text message, but there was still no message.
"Still no reaction…"
"Yeah," she said.
"Next…Where can I find it?"
At this moment, Cang ran over from behind in a panic and stopped in front of the two of them. He bent down and panted.
"Ha ~ ha ~ Do you have any clues about Qiong?”
"No, I'm not. There's still no movement…"
"Is that so? Ha ~" Drops of sweat flowed out of Cang's head.
The phone suddenly rang and Cang immediately picked it up.
"Hey! Is it Liang Ping?"
"Yes, Cang, Eldest Miss has already told me about Little Qiong's disappearance. I will help look for him together."
"Thank you."
"Alright, I'll go take a look around and see if there are any traces of Little Qiong! Little Qiong! Where are you!"
(Hanging up)
The three of them wanted to continue searching for Qiong, but they heard a shout.
"You Jun! Lord Cang! Senior Nao!" A shout came from not far away. The three of them looked not far away and saw Ying riding a bicycle while panting as she tried her best to drive over.
........
Ying brought the three of them to the stream and looked down.
The bicycle is falling down there
"As expected…This bicycle…"Is it Youjun's?" Ying asked uneasily.
"Yeah." You nodded slightly.
"What happened to Little Qiong?"
"It's my fault…"
"No, I can't! It was my fault! I was the one who forced Qiong to this point!"
You wanted to blame herself but was stopped by Cang. To be honest, it was Cang's fault. If he hadn't rejected Qiong's feelings, she would have been forced to leave this place.
(I also understand why Qiong is like this. What should I do? What does she think of me?)
At this moment, a raindrop landed on Nao's palm, and she raised her head.
"It's going to rain…"
The rain gradually became heavier and the four of them split up to look for Qiong.
Running on the road in the heavy rain, looking around
"Qiong!" You's clothes were already wet from the heavy rain. You's legs went soft as she knelt on the ground and shouted at the sky.
"Qiong!"
on the other side
Nao held an umbrella beside a car and asked the driver,
"Have you seen a silver-haired girl nearby?”
The driver shook his head, indicating that he didn't see it.
"Is that so?"
Only then did Nao bid farewell to him and continued to search around.
other side
"Yes! Damn it! This damn wind!"
Running in the wind and rain on the path beside the forest
Running, running, the phone rang
"Hey! One leaf!"
" Chao Zhengjun, I'm at the train station now. I don't see Student Qiong here."
"Let's go look around again. There might be clues about Qiong."
"Yes, I know."
(Hanging up)
"Hey! Ying?"
"Lord Cang, there's nothing in the fields either. We've searched the entire area!”
"Let's change places and look. We'll definitely find it!”
(Hanging up)
"Hey!"
"Cang! There's no such thing as a flat land! Little Qiong! Where are you!"
(Hanging up)
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and deafening thunder sounded from time to time.
"Ha ~ ha ~ Qiong!!”
Cang braved the wind and rain to run on the way to school, stopping from time to time to look around.
As he ran, Cang slowly stopped and looked at the small house by the road in front of him.
“........”
Cang swallowed a mouthful of water and slowly walked over.
Peeping into the hut
At this moment, a flash of lightning lit up the room.
Qiong was curled up in the seat in the middle, looking at him sideways.
"Dome…"
Cang was speechless for a moment. After catching his breath, he was about to speak.
"Again... Found it!"
"Hmm?"
Qiong leaned against the wall with his head lowered
"Qiong, come back with me. Everyone is looking for you…"
"I've been waiting for you, Cang."
Before he could finish, Qiong interrupted.
"Wait for me!"
Qiong leaned against the wall and covered his face. Qiong gritted his teeth.
Suddenly turned around and hugged Cang
'Yes.'
Cang looked at Qiong who was hugging him and felt helpless.
"I've been waiting for you…Waiting for you to return to my side…But I couldn't express it. I've been, I've been, I've been hiding it."
Qiong's tone was filled with inferiority and grievance, as if he had released all his years of suffering.
"Dome!"
"That day…The day Mom and Dad got into an accident…I'm in pain... It was really uncomfortable…'Why…' Why did it have to be that day…Why did it have to be my parents!"
“... Now, I have nothing to rely on…I only have you left…"
Qiong's tone was tearful, making people want to comfort her and love her, but Cang didn't dare to show it.
"Cang, I like you!"
"Eh? Mm."
Before Cang could react, Qiong suddenly kissed him.
“.........”
After Qiong parted his lips, Cang looked at him in shock.
"The only reason I live in this world is because of you. Without you, I would have lost my reason to live in this world…Cang was the first person who was willing to understand me, willing to sacrifice for me, and willing to be my friend. He saved me from the terrifying despair and loneliness, and he was the person who gave me hope. I could no longer endure it…I love you!"
Qiong hugged Cang again, hugging him tightly (Please! It would be fine if the story was sweeter!）
Cang did not know what to say. All this while, he had not been clear. Sometimes, he would often ask himself…What exactly did she think of Qiong? What feelings did she have for her? What did he treat her as? He didn't know. It was because he didn't know that he could only believe that his feelings for Qiong were the same as a 'sister' and a 'childhood friend'. However, he was wrong, very wrong. Today, at this moment, he received the answer.
Cang revealed a gratified smile and hugged her as well.
"I... Hmm?"
(Cold Mode)
Cang's eyes instantly darkened. He suddenly hugged Qiong tightly and threw her out!
Dong!
There was a loud bang and a flash of light
A bolt of lightning struck the wooden house. The glass of the wooden house was instantly shattered by the electric current, making a sharp and deafening sound.
"Ya! Mm."
The two of them gradually opened their eyes and looked at the cabin. The cabin was burning with fire.
" Ah!" Qiong immediately stood up and ran towards the burning wooden house.
"Qiong!" Qiong fell to the ground because the fire was too strong. Cang rushed over to support her.
"Are you alright…"
"Don't…"
"Hmm?"
"You gave me that rabbit."
"What?"
Cang immediately looked at the burning house. Qiong's rabbit was still inside.
Cang thought for a moment, then immediately stood up.
(Cramp)!
"Ah! Why…"
The sudden pain caused Cang to kneel down.
"Cang! Are you alright?" Qiong quickly helped Cang up.
"Ha ~ ha ~ ha ~"
(Looks like I can't save 'it'. I'm really useless!) He couldn't even save Qiong's most important thing!）
Cang closed his eyes tightly, feeling extremely inferior.
It seemed like there was no hope. The fire was getting more and more intense, and the rain was not going to help. They could only watch as Qiong's most important thing was burned.
“........”
At this moment, a figure suddenly ran past him and rushed into the burning wooden house.
The fire suddenly grew bigger, and the figure disappeared into the fire.
The sign of the wooden house was burned down by the fire, blocking the door.
Cang slowly stood up and was about to move the sign away when the sign was suddenly kicked open!
The figure hugged the rabbit and stood there. His body was covered in countless burns and his entire body was steaming.
"Nai…Naxu!"
few days later
Today was the annual Summer Festival. All the important people in town would be invited to attend this festival. Almost all the residents in and outside the town would come to participate in this lively summer festival. Most of the participants had to wear bathing suits. This was a Japanese tradition.
At this time, in Kasugano's house,
"I can't handle it alone."
"Me too!"
You put on her bathing suit and said to Qiong, who was sitting with his legs crossed and biting Baiqi,
Cang was already dressed and was leaning against the door, waiting for the two of them.
Even though there were people watching him change, Qiong didn't mind changing in front of Cang He You.
However, because it was not easy to wear it alone, he could only wait 'naked' for the time being.
After listening to You's answer, Qiong turned around and said with a red face,
"In that case, go and call that Sister Next Door."
"Eh?" You looked at Qiong in surprise.
Qiong didn't pay attention to him. He crossed his legs and bit down on the Baiqi in his mouth.
"Dome…" You revealed a gratified smile.
...............
Cang walked in the summer ceremony, attending the opening ceremony.
After the opening ceremony, he naturally went to meet up with Ying.
"Will Small One come…" Ying said worriedly.
" If he didn't come, he wouldn't have come out to help a few days ago," Cang replied very reasonably.
Ying smiled." Ah, Lord Cang, you are indeed the most reassuring one among us. Ah."
"What's wrong?" Cang looked in the direction Ying was looking at and saw One Leaf standing there in a bathing suit.
This made Cang feel at ease.
One Leaf walked towards the two of them step by step
Ying then stood up." Then, you two young ones can have fun."”
"Aren't you going to have a good chat with Yiye?"
"Okay, I still have some things to do. I'll be leaving first."
The two of them seemed to have colluded with each other and didn't hear a single word.
"You must make Small One perk up again!"(whispered)
"Okay, leave it to me."(whispered)
After saying that, Ying left with the bag.
" Ah!" One Leaf wanted to stop Ying, but it was useless. Ying still left.
" Good evening," Yiye greeted naturally.
" Good evening," Cang replied normally.
"Regarding the past few days, is Student Tianqiong doing well now?”
"Yes, she's very good. Moreover, she said..." I want to go to the summer festival or something."
(Actually, it meant 'go... It's not that I can't go, I'll just go once.'She pouted and agreed.
" That was a big gift from you a few weeks ago," One Leaf said embarrassedly.
Cang smiled." The gift I gave you that day was from You. In order to cheer you up as soon as possible, we didn't do anything at all. Originally, he wanted to bake a cake, but for some reason, he stopped halfway, so he could only give you a little skit.”
"Ah, no, you don't have to be so polite. I'm very happy to receive such a gift. It makes me feel a little more energetic, but... I might not be able to forgive myself for being so willful…He had caused so much trouble for everyone and had not shown his face…"I'm sorry," Yiye lowered her head and apologized.
"It's okay,"
"Eh?"
"No one thinks that you have done anything wrong, and you have not caused us any trouble. Moreover…A few days ago, you even helped us find Qiong. We still have to thank you. I'm sure everyone thinks so, so... Don't blame yourself anymore, okay?"
One Leaf lowered his head when he heard that. Cang then stood up and continued,
"And…Everyone wants you to be happy, so don't work so hard. At least you can go out and play with everyone. Just like the last time when You and I brought you out to play, let go of your usual work and worries and enjoy life. Ying definitely thinks the same. As long as you're happy, that's enough."
"But…But "
" Follow me, I have something to show you." Before One Leaf could open his mouth, Cang stood in front of her and said with a smile.
"Eh? What do you want me to see?"
"You don't have to care about these things ~ Just follow me." Cang directly pushed One Leaf away.
"F * ck ~ Seriously, what kind of strange thing is this? It's so mysterious!"
"I'll tell you on the way."
Cang and Yiye walked through the lively Summer Festival, passing by stalls and candlelight.
"When I found out... When Ying was my half-sister, my mother told my father that she couldn't attend the funeral when the Divine Master passed away. I understand my mother's feelings. After all, she was betrayed by my father. However, my father can't abandon Ying…"
"This is why…Do you hate your father?"
“...........”
" But that was a mistake your father made before you were born. It was because he reflected on himself and decided to be a good father that you didn't hate him so much, right?"
"That is…"
"Just trust him. After all, he is your father. As a daughter, you have to at least give him some trust because... At least he raised you."
Hearing Cang's words, One Leaf started to ponder." This…"
" Then, why do you insist on practicing? Viola…"
Hearing Cang's question, One Leaf stopped." How did you…"
Cang smiled,"I heard it from someone."
"Eh?"
Cang's mind recalled what Ba Xun had said to him.
"Ying was originally a child with no one to rely on. Later, she was given to the old man of the shrine. After the old man passed away, no one was willing to take her in. Later..." Although I took her in, most of the inheritance that the old man left behind was divided by his relatives. What he left for us is very little. The savings that I accumulated when I was working in the company's office are almost used up, so I can only rely on the profits I earn here. With this little money, do you think it's enough to pay for Ying's school fees and living expenses..."
"How can this be? Could it be…" Before One Leaf could exclaim in surprise, Cang walked in front while she followed behind.
" That's because I don't want to hurt your mother because of this. The Heavenly Fairy Eye is naturally innocent, so this is all I can do. Don't run away. Take a good look at your father." Cang revealed a very friendly smile.
"This…"
Cang smiled, waved his hand, and walked in front,"Follow me."
Cang brought One Leaf to a hidden stairway nearby. There weren't many people around, so Cang very politely invited One Leaf to go first.
One Leaf could only walk in front, extremely puzzled. He walked up the stairs step by step, while Cang followed behind.
"By the way, how did you know about this path? Usually, only Ying would take this path."
Cang smiled,"Who knows?"
When she was about to reach the top, One Leaf was stunned. She saw Ying standing there alone in her witch costume. She stood there quietly.
At this moment, a figure walked over. That person walked in front of Ying and reached out to gently stroke her head.
And that…It was Yiye's father, Ying's father.
"Ah!"
"Hmm?" Cang turned to the side, only to see One Leaf looking at this unbelievable scene in front of her, causing tears to flow out of her eyes, drop by drop, falling onto the ground.
"It's exactly the same as back then... It was the same. All along…Even his father... However…But I..."
(Ichiha must have remembered that she was like Ying back then, receiving such gentle and loving encouragement from her father. However, she believed that she was the only one who received love and care, while Ying did not. This caused Ichiha to begin to hate her father, but... The scene she was seeing now…What is it?)
Ying was very happy to receive the encouragement and concern from Ichiye's father. Her father also revealed a gratified smile.
At this moment, Ying noticed the two of them and waved at them. Old Master also saw them and was surprised to be seen by One Leaf.
When Cang saw One Leaf standing rooted to the ground, he pushed her away.
This made One Leaf very unhappy, and at the same time, Ying pushed Old Master over.
The father and daughter stood together and looked at each other.
It seems that there is something to say
......................
"Hey! Liang Ping!" Cang waved at Ryohei.
"Oh! Cang! Ying! "That's great, I finally see an acquaintance," Liang Ping replied.
"Are the others not here yet?" Cang walked to Liang Ping and asked,
"Yeah, we clearly agreed to have this round at this time, but no one came. I'm so worried ~"
" I know what you're looking forward to, Ryohei. You're looking forward to everyone wearing bathrobes, right?" Ying said with a smile while playing with her treasure.
" Sh * t! You bastard! Don't expose me!"
" Hehe! I can't control myself! I can't control myself!"
"Oh! They're here!"
Cang turned around and saw Ichiha, Nao, and Cang Yongshao walking over in their respective bathrobes.
"Wow! Cute! Cute! Cute! Everyone is so cute!"
" That's great! I want to wear a bathrobe too!" Ying said enviously.
" You want to dance to the music of the gods? Just make do with it!" Ryohira said.
"Tsk ~"
"Sorry, I'm late!" At this moment, You also ran over.
"Welcome!" Ying cheered.
" It's too late!" Ryohira scolded.
" I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It took me a lot of effort to help Qiong put on his bathing suit! Qiong, come over!"
As soon as You finished speaking, everyone's gazes gathered on Qiong who was slowly walking over.
" Wooooo!!"
"Waaah ~"
"Oh!"
Qiong was wearing a black bathing suit with white lace. Her hair was tied into a single-tailed braid. Coupled with her beauty aura, she looked like a beauty from the Shōwa era.
Qiong Yin was a little embarrassed by everyone's gaze and raised his head reluctantly.
(I really don't dare to review it)
"Late…Good evening."
"Good evening, Little Qiong! You look so cute in this bathing suit!”
Cang Yongshao hurriedly went over and praised,
Qiong was a little shy, and his face was slightly red. Thank you!"
At this moment, Ryohira walked over and said bluntly,
"Little Qiong-chan, if you have any troubles, please feel free to discuss it with me ~"
"We'll only get into trouble if we discuss it with Nakari-san ~" Cang Yongsao pointed at Ryohei and said.
"Hey! This is hindering business!" Ryohira retorted in a very rude uncle's voice.
"Then! Why don't you come and find me?" Ying leaned in front of the dome face and said,
"I... "I will," Qiong reluctantly promised Ying.
"Oh…" Liang Ping lowered his head in disappointment.
Ying held Qiong's hand.
"Then let's go! Before it was sold out! Let's go eat a Turkish sandwich ~"
"Wait... "Wait a minute!" Qiong suddenly called out to Ying.
"Oh?"
Qiong turned around and said to everyone with a red face,
"If…If it was such an occasion, it would definitely... It would take more time to prepare, so... It would be great if Nao could help, Yuu... You said so."
"Eh?" Youyin was stunned by the gun.
Qiong looked at everyone and finally stopped at Cang, who was standing at the back.
Cang stood at the back with his arms crossed and a smile on his face. He waved at Qiong from behind.
"Mm." Qiong quietly waved at him and ran out with Ying.
"Hey... Hey!" Yuu and Nao wanted to stop her, but after thinking about it, they decided against it.
Nao looked at Yu.
"Xiao You? Little Qiong…Is that true?"
"Ah, uh... That... It was Qiong who said that he would call Naxu or something next time…"
You scratched her head and said,
Nao thought about it and sighed in relief.
"Is that so…"
" Looks like it's a success!" Liang Ping exclaimed.
"Yes! "Yes, congratulations ~ congratulations," Ying sighed.
" Yes, although this is indeed worth celebrating, why would Kuma-san agree with Nao? Did someone do something?"
Cang Yongshao touched his chin and asked,
"Ah, all of this is due to Cang…"
" This is all thanks to Nao." Nao was about to say Cang when Cang interrupted her.
"Eh?" Nao looked at Cang in surprise.
Cang only smiled.
"Sigh, really? "Nao, what did you do?" Ryohira exclaimed.
"Tell us, tell us ~ Eyuan-senpai!" Cang Yongshao came over and asked curiously.
Nao seemed a little helpless.
Cang, You, and One Leaf saw this scene and smiled gratefully.
Ying Bian pulled Qiong to the stalls of the Summer Festival and said,
"Although I made a mistake when I won the Popsicle, I can actually tell which Marble Soda tastes the best ~"
Ying forcefully pressed down on the cap of the marble soda in her hand. After the bubbles in the soda bottle melted, Ying handed the soda to Qiong. Qiong had a bottle, and she had a bottle.
"If the groove under the grip ring is round, it will be very sweet. If it is square, there will be a lot of bubbles."
Ying opened her soda bottle.
Qiong listened to Ying's words and raised his head to observe whether it was round or square.
At this moment, countless lights appeared in the sky. The light spots flew straight into the sky and then bloomed in the sky!
Countless fireworks exploded in the air. There were green, gold, pink, cyan, emerald, and silver.
One by one, they bloomed in the sky.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky, admiring the beautiful fireworks.
Cang passed through the crowd and stood in the middle of the crowd. He looked up at the sky and watched the beautiful fireworks.
He hoped that such a beautiful scene could last forever. Even if it could not last forever in this world, it would be deeply imprinted in Cang's memories and last forever.
