After seeing off Hiratsuka Shizu, Yukinoshita Yukino asked Hojo Kyousuke a few more questions, then picked up the Bunko novel on the table and opened it along the bookmarks. When her thoughts began to focus on the novel, she said casually:
"Okay, if you have anything to do, you can leave first. You are allowed to leave early today."
"Huh? I don't think I said I wanted to leave early, right?" Hojo Kyosuke asked strangely.
"You have looked at your phone five times since you entered the classroom. Although I didn't look at it deliberately, I noticed that there was no new information. You are not the kind of addict who grabs your phone even if you have nothing to do. So it’s just possible that you’re looking at the time, and combined with how often you look at your phone, you can infer that you have other things to do urgently.”
Yukinoshita didn't even raise her head, her thin cherry lips opened and closed gently and she spoke a cool voice, as if she was reciting the steps to solve a three-dimensional geometry problem. It was clear and full of rational charm.
"The most important thing is that Sakura told me before that Glass went to the office today. As far as I know, when Glass went to the office to study, you would pick her up nine times out of ten."
The girl stopped talking, and for some reason she thought of her father.
Ordinary parents often use what they experienced when they were young as examples to educate their children, but Yukinoshita's mother, Yukinoshita Chiyo, has never behaved like this. When her daughters make mistakes or ask for advice, she always maintains that elegant smile, speaks softly and analyzes the pros and cons of things for her daughters without any subjectivity, and does not give answers or opinions, letting them act on their own.
Then after the girls hit their heads and were bleeding, ask them if they got the answer and if they gained something. If her daughter understands something, she will listen quietly, but still say nothing, allowing her daughter to practice this principle and confirm her belief with repeated failures. It doesn’t matter if your daughters don’t get it, because they will.
If Yukinoshita Yukino is a perfectionist, then Yukinoshita Chiyo is perfection itself. That lady, who is well-known in Tokyo political circles, is a breath of fresh air no matter her words, deeds, or how she treats others. Whether those who accept her help or those who are rejected by her, they will sincerely praise her. Elegant women.
She obviously does everything perfectly, but she doesn't put pressure on the people around her like Yukinoshita Yukino, and her perfectionism is annoying. It's as if she doesn't need to pursue perfection, because she is already perfect whether she is walking or eating. If it is a martial arts fantasy novel, it means that it has entered and exited the state of transformation, and Taoism and law have naturally merged with nature and man.
And of course such a perfect woman would not have any past failures to educate her children. Thinking about it like this, it seems that I can understand a little bit why this mother never talks about the past to her children.
The black-haired girl's father, Yukinoshita Muneki, who married into Yukinoshita's family and perfectly inherited his father-in-law's "territory", is the complete opposite of his wife.
This father doted on his two daughters. Not only did he provide material satisfaction, but he even dared to resist his wife's tyranny for the sake of his daughters. After his daughters were reprimanded, he would always quietly take out the hidden snacks, take his daughters to a hidden place where they would not be discovered by the queen, and start saying things to make her daughter happy.
The most talked about thing is what happened when he and his wife were young.
The two attended the same high school, Sobu High School, which was still a public school at that time.
At that time, Yukinoshita Chiyo had not yet transformed into the understated and proficient person she is today. She pursued excellence, showed her sharpness, and shone with a compelling brilliance.
At that time, Yukinoshita Muneki's surname was not Yukinoshita, and he never thought that he would become a rising star in Tokyo's political arena in the future. He yawned all day long, skipped class and went out to play cards when he had nothing to do. In the small house, he slammed the cards in his hand onto the table and laughed listlessly.
"At that time, I just felt that everything was meaningless. There was no meaning in going to class, no meaning in beating classmates, no meaning in skipping classes, and no meaning in playing cards. Smoking was only slightly interesting. But this was the only fun, and it was taken away by your mother.
At that time, Chiyo banged on the door, threw the cards in Dad's hand onto the table, and gently removed the cigarette from Dad's mouth with two good-looking fingers that shouldn't appear in such a dirty place. Remove it and throw it into the beer can on the table.
I never knew that it was the monitor’s duty to catch students who skipped class from the chess and card room and brought them back to school, but when faced with Chiyo at that time, not to mention his father, even the boss of the chess and card room, who was said to be a big shot in Hunji Dao, did not Dare to speak up. I could see that your mother wanted to pull me out by my tie, but Chiyo retracted her hand as soon as it touched my tie.
Hahaha, because my father and I were really sloppy at that time. I didn’t wash my clothes and pants at all, and your mother couldn’t do it at all. Fortunately, Dad, although I am not good at anything, I only believe that those who understand current affairs are heroes, so I stood up and walked out obediently without your mother saying a word.
Hehe, let me tell you quietly, at that time I was really afraid that your mother would turn over the table, or hit me on the head with a chair and bleed me. But Dad, I thought again, how could I make the daughter of the Yukinoshita family so angry? Sure enough, after I returned to school obediently, Chiyo didn't say a word to me.
Then? Then of course I skipped class again, what else could I do? If you were in school, even smoking would become boring. Those who like to smoke in hiding are guys who don’t have the soul to smoke. To really enjoy smoking, you have to have beer in one hand and cigarettes in the other.
but……
well? Xiao Yukino, why don't you ask me what I don't know? Alas, my father would be very happy if he could see little Yukino asking questions with curiosity on his face.
Haha~~ As expected of my dad’s good daughter, tell me right away, dad will definitely tell you all the embarrassing things about mom!
But, actually, school was a little more interesting at that time. Of course, it wasn't my father who suddenly became enlightened and wanted to study, but I wanted to see what other responsibilities the monitor had that I didn't know about. But it's a pity that your mother hasn't said a word to me since she arrested me and brought me back to school.
So I skipped school immediately the next day. If I had just played cards the day before, I would play mahjong the next day, and go to the pachinko shop on the third day. But the next day I still went to the chess and card room, and I won more and more money. The uncles at the table all turned pale, and my father was really worried that they would have a heart attack.
I waited and waited, but I couldn't wait for your mother. I wonder, did she find out that the duties of the monitor do not include bringing bad students back to school from the chess and card room? Even after so many years, I still clearly remember the feeling in my heart at that time. It was really an interesting feeling. Throbbing, restless, uneasy, excited... I didn't understand it at the time, and thought it was because I had won too much money.
Until your mother knocked on the door again, threw the cards in my hand onto the table, used her pretty fingers to throw the cigarette from my mouth into the beer can, and then used her eyes to force those who had lost money back. The uncle who refuses to admit defeat. Although my clothes were still dirty, I made a point of washing my tie that day.
Hahaha, how do you know that? Yes, your mother just glanced at my tie with disgust and walked out the door. Then I, the money I won, my heart, and my body all followed her out.
Looking at the girl breathing in the fresh air against the white sunshine, my father finally understood why his heart was restless. It turns out that I was worried about being arrested by the squad leader!
Hahaha, I am teasing you, how could dad be such an idiot. Why? it is true! At this moment, dad knew that mom liked me! Really got it!
And then we have a relationship? Hahaha, how is that possible? Do you think your mother is someone who gives away her heart so easily?
After that, I kept skipping classes, and your mother kept coming to see me. I took her to almost every chess and card room, mahjong parlor, and pachinko shop in Tokyo.
I have never seen such a dedicated monitor. Then one day, on the tram back to school, I asked your mother, if you come out to find me like this, doesn't it count as skipping class?
Wow! Didn't you see that your mother's expression at that time was a hundred times more fierce than when she scolded you? She got out of the car before she even arrived at the station. I chased her. She twisted my arm and pushed me to the ground. Then she took away all the money I had on me. Before I could catch up, she got into a high-end car and disappeared without a trace.
At that time, I didn't understand your mother's temper. I just thought she was really inexplicable. Fulfilling the inexplicable responsibility of monitor, inexplicably depriving me of the fun of skipping classes, inexplicably stealing my money, just like a crazy cat.
Ahem, Xiao Yukino, I said this just to tease you. Of course I know that I made your mother angry. Then I clearly could have borrowed money to take a bus, but instead I punished myself by walking back to school. When I walked to school, even the people in the baseball club were gone. I originally wanted to turn around and leave, but instead I walked to the classroom in anger. I didn't even change into indoor shoes, so I rushed in wearing dirty shoes.
Thinking about it now, at that time, I probably held it in my arms to show that crazy cat-like class monitor, because she took my money and made me walk back to school, even the soles of my shoes were almost worn out.
But when I walked to the classroom and saw the girl sitting by the window, dyed red by the sunset, I suddenly couldn't say anything.
Your mother was reading very attentively. I remember that she seemed to be reading Nietzsche's "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" at that time. I stood there for about twenty minutes. It was only when your mother moved her neck that she noticed me. She looked at me without even bothering to raise the corners of her mouth. Damn it, I stood here and peeked at her for so long. At least she was angry. ah!
Your mother's face is as beautiful as a doll, but also as emotionless as a doll.
I thought to myself, what an unlovable girl.
Then I stopped skipping class the next day and changed my ways? Haha, how is that possible? I went to play cards again on Saturday, with a cigarette in one hand and a beer in the other, but the people at the table kept urging me to play cards. Those idiots who don't understand anything, oh, I'm sorry, Yukino, I accidentally said bad words in front of you.
Haha, talking about things when I was young, it seems that I have really become younger. Anyway, I have to play slower. If I lose all my money, won't I be able to continue sitting at the poker table? They are lucky that Dad and I take my busy schedule to play cards with them.
Then your mother knocked on the door, threw the cards in my hand onto the table, and threw the cigarette from my mouth into the beer can with her pretty fingers. Still didn't pull my tie. I took her to the coffee shop and did homework together.
correct! Xiao Yukino, you must remember that you must never go to coffee shops with boys in the future! If you want to go, you must tell your dad three days in advance! "
At the end, the man said this very seriously.
Yes, it was the youngest daughter of the Yukinoshita family, Yukinoshita Yukino, who was taken by her father to the roof to quietly eat potato chips with her eyes red from crying.
Did mom take dad back to school because of her duties as monitor? Yukinoshita Yukino was not sure. Although she had tried her best to check, since she didn't even know about her father in class one, how could she, a daughter, know about it.
So is it really like what dad said, that mom did that because she liked dad? Yukinoshita Yukino was equally unsure. Although the father who said this immediately changed his mind and admitted that he was lying under the death gaze of his mother, Yukinoshita felt a little joy in his heart.
As expected of Yukino's mother, even her posture in love is so beautiful. The girl thought so.
The mother my father described was not perfect. She would do inexplicable things for the boy she liked, make up the duties of the squad leader, act petty, and have the temper of a girl.
The mother in the girl's heart, who was as unattainable as a god and so far away from heaven and earth, gradually became vivid, understandable and close to her through her father's whispers.
The parents at that time were similar to Hojo and Glass now.
As long as Nishimiya Glass goes out for something, Hojo Kyosuke will definitely pick her up and take her home in person.
Yukinoshita Yukino raised her head, looked at the boy next to her with distant and deep eyes, and then saw the girl who was holding a coat and putting it on Hojo Kyosuke's shoulders.
This scene triggered her memory again. No matter how late her father stayed out entertaining, her mother would always be waiting. After hearing that my father was back, I went to the door as soon as possible, said "Welcome home" in a full voice, and then stubbornly took his briefcase and coat regardless of his father's refusal.
When my sister sees her, she always whispers that dad is like the head of the family only at this time. Yukinoshita knows that her sister actually wants to say that mom is like a gentle wife only at this time, but her sister has no guts to make fun of her mom and only dares to bully her dad. . At this time, my father would first proudly puff out his chest to show that he has always been a great man, and then show a flattering expression and beg for mercy from his mother.
The parents at that time were very similar to Hojo and Sakura now.
