Chapter IV
"Yes... Cough cough! Today, it's my honor to have all of my friends here at our Zhu family's house for dinner. I would like to thank everyone for taking care of my family's Yiye. I'm very grateful. Yiye's father sat at the head of the table, and everyone sat around a long table, all of them smiling as they quietly listened to their uncle's speech.
The people present were Cang, You, Qiong, Ying, Liang Ping, and One Leaf. Yiye's father and mother sat at the head of the table. There were a few maids, waiters, and bodyguards standing around the hall. Yiye sat upright beside them.
Everyone gathered in the Zhu family's luxurious restaurant. Uncle had prepared a sumptuous dinner for everyone. Everyone seemed to have forgotten their purpose. They also put aside the matter of Qiong being spied on and enjoyed the sumptuous dinner to their heart's content. They put down all the anger and frustration from that time.
Uncle bowed to everyone to express his gratitude. Everyone also expressed their stance. There was no need for uncle to be polite.
The uncle sat down and looked at everyone. He stretched out his hands and said to everyone,
"Then please enjoy your meal."
Everyone nodded and picked up their knives and forks.
Liang Ping used a knife to cut a small piece of steak on the plate. The beef emitted an alluring fragrance and juice at the same time. Liang Ping then used a fork to send the beef into his mouth and chewed it carefully.
"Yes. Well... Oh!" Liang Ping suddenly widened his eyes and opened his mouth wide.
"Oh! Delicious! How did he do it? This?" Liang Ping was still full of praise for this delicious and juicy beef.
Everyone saw how exaggerated Liang Ping was, so they also cut off a piece of meat and put it into their mouths to taste it carefully.
"Oh! It's true!" Ying sighed.
"Mmm ~~ The meaty texture is not bad. It's soft and juicy," You sighed as she ate.
"Mm ~(swallowing) Of course. This steak is a special French steak. It's fried and not that easy to eat ~"
One Leaf explained with a smile as he swallowed the beef.
Cang chewed on the beef as he listened to One Leaf's words. He looked at the small piece of steak on the plate.
("Isn't this just an ordinary French steak?”）
To him, it was no different from an ordinary steak, except that it was a little juicier than others.
Cang saw that everyone was praising the steak and turned to look at Qiong who was sitting beside him.
Qiong held his knife and fork hesitantly. It was probably because there were too many people, so he didn't dare to be too impudent.
Cang pondered for a while, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
"Eat it, this is made for Qiong. Don't let uncle and auntie down."
After Qiong heard Cang's words, he looked at the beef on his plate and then at Cang. After some hesitation, he finally put a small piece of beef into his mouth.
After chewing for a while, Qiong's expression gradually relaxed. He swallowed the beef and smiled.
" Mmm, it's delicious." Although his tone was calm, it seemed like Qiong was really happy.
Only then did Cang relax. He sighed in his heart and looked at his friends.
Liang Ping stuffed the entire piece of beef into his mouth and started chewing it rudely.
"Pfft! Cough cough! Cough cough cough!" In the end, she accidentally choked herself, coughed, and beat her chest desperately.
" Brother Liangping, you can't eat like this. It'll affect your image." Ying pouted.
" Ying's right, Nakazili-kun. It's not good for your image," Ichiha also criticized.
"Cough, cough, cough! Ah! 'Ugh! Hug! Cough, cough, cough! Sorry! Cough cough!" Liang Ping said in a very uncomfortable manner. From time to time, he would make strange sounds.
" Please drink some water to relax." Chu Jia, who was wearing a maid costume, took a cup of warm water and handed it to Liang Ping with a smile.
"Cough, cough, cough! 'Ugh! Thank you! Cough cough! Thank you! Ugh!" Liang Ping coughed as he took the warm water. He poured it into his mouth and drank it all in one breath.
"Ha ~~" As if he was relieved, he exhaled comfortably.
Liang Ping then smiled and turned his head to Chujia, saying,
"Oh! 3Q~! Naimizaka…" Before Liang Ping could finish his sentence, his eyes unconsciously looked at Chujia's chest.
Looking at Chujia's seemingly F-sized breasts, she couldn't help but blush. Her palms started to move, trying to touch her breasts with her palms.
"Ah! It hurts!" Suddenly, Liang Ping's leg was kicked hard. Liang Ping immediately shrank back and pretended that nothing had happened.
He saw a leaf kicking Liang Ping under the table and a fork in his mouth. He was in a bad mood and was very dissatisfied with Liang Ping.
"I told you to pay attention to your image ~~" One Leaf scolded angrily.
"I'm so sorry!" Liang Ping immediately sat up straight and puffed out his chest.
"Haha! "Brother Liangping, H~~" Ying, who was sitting at the side, commented with a smile.
" Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed. Liang Ping scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Hey, hehe ~"
Chujia didn't care. Instead, she still had a smile on her face. She straightened her body and said with a smile,
" I know what those young boys are thinking." Chujia closed one eye and leaned down to say mischievously with a very mischievous smile on her face.
Looking at Chujia's smile, Ryohira couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. His face blushed slightly, but it didn't show too much.
Everyone was smiling, talking happily to each other, eating delicious food, and having a normal life. They were talking and joking, spending a good time together. They put aside their usual troubles and enjoyed the happiness and good time spent with their friends.
Cang was also very pleased with this. He smiled at them and casually put a piece of beef into their mouths.
At this moment, the phone suddenly rang. Cang calmly took out his phone and looked at it.
"Who called?" Qiong asked calmly.
" Oh, it's my sister. I'm going to answer the phone. I'll be back in a while," Cang replied calmly.
" Mm." Qiong didn't retort, nor did he care too much. He just nodded.
After obtaining Qiong's approval, Cang stood up and opened the door. He walked out of the dining room and closed the door. Qiong watched as he walked out of the dining room and disappeared from sight.
Qiong looked at the empty seat beside him and couldn't help but lower his head in frustration.
"Qiong Jiang!" At this moment, Ying's voice came from beside Qiong. Ying looked at her with a smile.
"Ah... What is it?" Qiong was at a loss.
" Humph!" Ying smiled strangely and took out a box of Baiqi from her pocket.
"This is?" Qiong was a little puzzled.
"Hehe ~~" Ying smiled and whispered into Qiong's ear.
"I brought them here specially ~ Small One said that I wasn't allowed to bring snacks here ~ It's not good for my health ~ So I secretly brought them here ~"
"Yes…" Qiong was a little helpless after listening.
"Hehe ~ So ~ Let's eat together ~" Ying took out Baiqi and smiled mischievously at Qiong.
the other side.
Cang walked out of the dining room and came to the brightly lit corridor. There were very few people in the corridor. There were only a few bodyguards standing guard at the end of the corridor. From time to time, a few maids would come in, so there was no need to worry about them.
Cang picked up the call and leaned against the wall, placing the phone to his ear.
"Hey!"
"Brother, are you okay?"
"Ah, very good. Everyone is very happy. You don't have to worry."
"Is that so? That's good. I was worried that something bad would happen to you and Sister Qiong, so I specially called you to ask about the situation."
" Is that so? Thank you for worrying so much for your useless brother and caring so much about Qiong. However, you don't have to worry. Everything is fine here and there haven't been any abnormal situations recently. I hope it can continue like this." Cang smiled as he looked at the other end of the door. Everyone was laughing happily and Cang was very happy about this.
Cang said as he quietly touched the knife mark on his neck that was covered with a band-aid. He did not know when it would heal.
"Yes, I also hope that your lives can continue like this. You won't be harassed by those bad people. Just like this, continue to maintain it."
" Yes, it will. I have a hunch about it." Cang nodded with a smile.
"Brother, you seem to be very energetic. Did anything good happen recently?”
" Hmph, no, it's nothing. It's just that I've thought it through. I have to face everything honestly. I can't lose my mind because of certain things and drag down Aomuran's friends. I don't want to do that anymore. Gui, I want to protect our friendship. I want to protect Qiong. Even if I'm ostracized, it's fine."
Cang said as he raised his head and looked at the starry sky outside the glass window with a bitter smile.(The other side of the corridor was glass, so you could see outside directly.)
"Brother, I have something else to tell you. It's very important."
"Speak, I'm listening."
"I made a trip to Sakagino Prefecture and asked about it from the Sakagino Academy you mentioned."
"What? Why did you go there? What if something happens to you?!”
Cang suddenly became a little agitated and angrily criticized Gui because the girl who attacked him saw the name of Sakakino Gakuen on her student ID.
"Brother, don't get agitated. Let me finish first."
"Yes! hmm. I'm sorry, go ahead."
"Ahem, the principal there said that many students in their school took leave, but most of them took leave because of illness. This should be very normal, but he later told me that two students took leave for unknown reasons. Those two students dropped out of school without the school's permission, and they couldn't contact their families. They couldn't do anything. At present, I think they might be the people you're looking for, but I can't be sure what the information shows. One of them is a student from Grade One, Class Three, and the other is from Class Four. His name is "
" Makoto Ito, a student from Class 3, Grade 1, High School. He looks about 15 or 16 years old and is about 1.6 meters tall. Gui Yanye, a student from Class 4, Grade 1, High School. She's about 15 or 16 years old and is very beautiful. She has long black hair and is a woman. Am I right?"
Cang Zaigui answered her before she could say anything. Gui was silent for a while on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, you're right, but how did you know?”
" Ah, something happened." Cang looked around and confirmed that no one was listening.
"Alright, since you already know, there's no need for me to say anything more. Be careful, okay?”
"Yes, you've worked hard too."
“.. Mm."
After hanging up the phone, Cang could finally catch his breath. To be honest, he really didn't want to talk about this matter now, but if this matter wasn't completely resolved, everyone wouldn't be at peace.
Cang covered his face with his hands and raised his head. He took a deep breath and put on a normal expression. He opened the door of the restaurant and walked in.
Everyone at the dining table was leaning against their chairs as if they were exhausted. Liang Ping was leaning against his chair with saliva dripping from his mouth. He was sound asleep, while You was lying on the dining table and sleeping.
One Leaf, Madam, and Master were quietly sitting there drinking tea. Seeing Cang return, she smiled at him.
Cang smiled bitterly and looked around. The maids were clearing the plates and tidying the dining table. Chujia was nowhere to be seen, but he didn't care.
Cang saw that Ying was still sitting on the chair in front of him, so he walked over.
Ying smiled at Cang when she saw him return. Then, she placed her index finger in front of her mouth.
"Shh ~~~"
She gestured for Cang to lower his voice, and Cang listened to her. He walked over to her and squatted down. He quietly looked at Qiong who was sleeping soundly on Ying's lap. There was a half-eaten Bacchi on the table.
Ying was also using her hands to gently caress Qiong's head, coaxing her to sleep.
Looking at Qiong who was sleeping soundly, Cang felt a warmth in his heart. He felt at ease and couldn't help but reach out to gently stroke Qiong's head.
" Isn't it cute?" Ying smiled and whispered to Cang.
"Yeah, just like a small animal." Cang Bian gently stroked Qiong's head as he looked at Qiong's sleeping face.
Cang slowly moved his hand away. Ying also reached out to Cang and placed her hand on Qiong's hair. Only then could Qiong feel at ease.
Ying gently stroked Qiong's silver hair, comforting her like a mother.
"Yes, it's like a small animal. I've always been like this, touching the meatball (Ying's cat) sleeping on my lap. It's really cute. "The feeling Qiong Jiang gives me is indeed a little like a kitten or puppy. She depends on her master every day. Only when she's alone does she not know what to do. If she's not careful, she will get lost and lose her way home. She will become alone again. She has no one to rely on and can only rely on herself to survive. She's lonely, helpless, and pitiful…"That's too cruel, Qiong Jiang is too pitiful." Ying's face was a little depressed and she smiled bitterly.
After Cang heard that, he looked at Qiong's side profile and reached out to scratch her face with his fingers, thinking,"
("Yes, Qiong is so pitiful. She shouldn't be like this. But it is precisely because she is in such a state that I have to stay by her side and protect her on this path. I have business to do, and I will never let anyone leave again."
an hour and a half later
"See you tomorrow then!" Not far away, Ying waved goodbye to Cangqiong You and the other two.
The sky is already dark, after bidding farewell to Ying, Liang Ping, and a leaf, Cang carries the sleeping Qiong on his back, leisurely supporting Cang at the side.
The three of them walked step by step on the dark road. From time to time, cicadas could be heard around them.
" Cang, are you alright? You don't have to force yourself. If you feel tired, let me carry Qiong instead." You held Cang who was carrying Qiong and reminded him.
"No... It's fine, I still have strength, and Qiong is relatively light, so it's not a problem to carry him home. You, you're too full and don't have the strength, so I can't let you be tired."
Cang smiled bitterly and turned his head to say to You,
"Yes... Was that so…Thank you for your hard work."
You had no choice but to let him be.
(Author: Take note. Don't think that Cang is fighting with You over the dome, so he refuses to let You carry it, or that 'I' don't want to let You carry it. That's not the case. Cang is really thinking for You and doesn't want to tire him out. You has a full stomach and doesn't have much strength to begin with, so you can't let him tire himself out. At least Cang hasn't eaten much, but at least he has strength, so let him carry the best. Of course, You can carry it, but it will be a little troublesome.)
As the three of them walked, something shiny seemed to be flying in front of You. You grabbed the shiny thing at a slow speed and stood in place.
Cang Jian also stopped and looked at him in confusion.
"What's wrong?"
Slowly, she opened her palm and found that it was a firefly, emitting a beautiful light.
The firefly spread its wings, flew out of You's palm, and flew into the sky.
The two of them watched the fireflies slowly fly into the sky. At this time, You seemed to suddenly remember something.
She took out her phone in a panic and opened the message bank.
When You saw it, she immediately ran out!
"Eh? What's wrong?" Cang immediately grabbed his hand and asked, supporting Qiong on his back with one hand.
"Aiya! This morning, Nao asked me to tutor her at her house tonight! He had accidentally forgotten the time! I have to hurry up now!"
Just as You finished speaking, she shook off Cang's hand and ran forward.
"I'll leave Qiong to you!" As you ran, you waved at him with your back facing him and shouted,
"This... Sigh ~"She wanted to stop You, but seeing that he had already run far away, she sighed helplessly.
Qiong, who was leaning on Cang's back, slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were a little blurry. Cang turned his head and saw that Qiong had woken up. He smiled and said,
"Qiong, you're awake!"
"This is…" Still very confused, Qiong squinted his eyes and looked around.
Cang chuckled a few times after hearing that and looked ahead.
"We're on our way home. We'll be there soon."
"Yes... " Mm-hm…" Qiong replied calmly before leaning back on Cang's back.
At this moment, a few sparkling fireflies flew over from the surrounding forest. They immediately surrounded the sky and flew around the two of them. They were very beautiful. It was thought-provoking.
Cang lowered his head and chuckled a few times. He lowered his head and smiled bitterly,
"Hey, Qiong, why do you think a person likes another person? Is it because of his appearance, his personality, or his heart?. I know…I understand your feelings for me. You said that I was unwilling to accept you, hated you, ignored you, and that I would leave you. I never thought about it. Whether it was in the past or in the future, I will never leave you. This is my oath."
As Cang spoke, he raised his head and thought for a moment before lowering it again.
Cang turned his head and said to Qiong who was lying on his shoulder,
"Me too."
"Hu ~ Gu ~ Ha ~ Ha ~ Ah ~"
("Are you asleep?") Cang thought this way.
Qiong laid on Cang's shoulder and fell asleep. He seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Cang Jianqiong had already fallen asleep. He took a deep breath and smiled.
"Okay, let's go home."
Cang Jiang lifted Qiong up from his back and walked forward.
He walked out of the fireflies and walked to the end of the dark path.
Chapter IV
finished
Author: Phew ~ How many days has it been? Was there anyone watching now? If anyone else reads it, please type 'support' or 'no' in the book review section.(Shameless, isn't it?) I said that I would finish writing this side story in one go and then enter the main film, but because I have to go to school, I don't have much time to write. Moreover, I need to shut myself off for a period of time. The pressure is really great. Moreover, if I write a chapter of tens of thousands of words in one go, you will get more and more money to read the VIP chapter. If I'm not wrong, it seems that the VIP chapter is paid according to the number of words and the number of readers. In other words, The more words I write, the more money you'll have to pay me. I don't want to do that because if I write too much, you'll lose your patience after reading one chapter. Then, if you think that the chapter isn't good, you'll lose out. I'm worried about you, so it's better to have fewer words. The less money you'll pay, right? So, it's more important to keep your wallets, right? Therefore, if you like it, please give me some flowers and comments. This is the most important thing to me. See you next time.
