Chapter 322 I’m Scared, but I’m Willing to Wait
Everything seemed normal at the dining table. Kasugano Anzu took care of Qiong and Aokiji tenderly, picking up dishes for them from time to time. Breakfast was a simple and ordinary home-cooked meal. Aokiji ate rice with miso soup and secretly raised his head from time to time. Looking at Kasugano Xing's expression, there was nothing unusual about her, so she felt a little calmer for the time being.
After eating breakfast and rejecting Kasugano's idea of adding another bowl, Aoki Si sat on the chair and whispered with some embarrassment: "I'll take you to the station later, auntie."
Kasugano Xing shook his head when he heard this, and said seriously: "If you go there and then come back, you have to take an extra train, which is too troublesome. I can just take Qiong with me, and I don't have any luggage."
Aokiji hesitated: "But."
"What's the matter? Tomorrow, Si will go to training, right? It must be very hard there, and Si needs to have a good rest today. Auntie is taking Qiong with her, aren't you worried?" Kasugano Xing smiled and said to Aoki Si Their eyes met, and when he looked away unconsciously, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
How could she know nothing about anything? As soon as she got up in the morning, she found that there was no one in Qiong's room. She still didn't know where Qiong had gone.
But she also knew that it was probably Qiong who sneaked over in the middle of the night, so she didn't say anything and pretended not to know, so as not to make it difficult for Aoki Si.
Kasugano Anzu really wanted Aokiji and Qiong to be together. Although she didn't like this guy who didn't look like a good guy at first, but over time, it has been proved that Aokiji is an outstanding young man. And the most important thing is that Qiong likes him!
This is the first time Kasugano Anzu has seen Qiong so fond of watching Qiong and Aoki Tsukasa by himself. I am afraid even Kasugano Masao has not enjoyed this treatment. I just don’t know if Aokiji can accept Qiong
"Don't you have much luggage?" Aokiji put his dishes in the sink and sat back on the chair.
Only then did Kasugano Xing turn away from her thoughts: "Huh? Not much. She doesn't have much clothes. At most, she wants to bring her computer. It's just a computer bag and it can be packed in a suitcase."
"Okay then." Seeing Kasugano Xing's repeated refusals, Aokiji did not insist, and said softly to Qiong who looked a little unhappy: "Okay, when you go over there, you have to listen carefully to your uncle and aunt. Wait for me. When I'm done with my work, I'll go find you, see grandpa, and then take you back, so don't be so embarrassed."
"Oh" Qiong nodded, sighed, put down his chopsticks, indicating that he was full, and went back upstairs.
Aokiji looked at Kasugano Anzu who was getting up to pack things, and hurriedly stood up together to help clear the table. He hesitated and asked what he couldn't ask yesterday: "Why does Qiong seem to really not want to go back to her grandfather's house?" ?"
Kasugano Xing's movement of clearing the dishes and chopsticks hesitated slightly, and sighed: "Her grandfather."
"Qiong's grandfather, he didn't like Qiong very much before." Kasugano Anzu opened the sink and washed the dishes, and calmly recounted the past events to Aokiji: "You also know that some old people have more conservative ideas."
"In the beginning, Qiong's grandfather didn't like me very much. After all, my hair is this color, which seems a bit strange to some people." Kasugano Xing smiled, raised his head, and a head of silver hair grew brightly behind his head. Hui.
"It was only because of Zhengxiong's resolute attitude that Qiong's grandfather had no choice but to agree to the marriage. After the marriage, we had a very difficult time in the first two years. If I were to be a full-time wife at home, Zhengxiong's salary would not be enough to cover the family expenses. I also went out to find a job, so I left it to my grandparents in the countryside."
"Qiong's grandfather always wanted us to have another boy, but the situation was difficult. Masao and I didn't dare to have another child at that time. Later, Qiong's physical examination showed problems, and I was even less afraid to have another child. "Kasugano Xing couldn't help but sigh when she thought about the past.
"Because of this, Qiong's grandfather dislikes Qiong even more. After all, this child has the same hair as me, is weak, has a dull temper, and is not lovable." Kasugano Xing said a few words before reacting and talking to Aoki. Si complained that these were not good, smiled at him, and reorganized his words.
"But despite this, Qiong's grandfather didn't bully Qiong or anything. It's just that Qiong liked her grandma very much, and her grandparents had a typical Showa era lifestyle, so Qiong always complained about her grandma. Over time, , and I don’t like her grandfather even more.”
When Aokiji heard this, he became somewhat enlightened.
Probably Qiong's grandfather had the old-fashioned idea of Showa era that men were superior to women, which made Qiong find it a bit difficult to accept. What is the lifestyle of the Showa era? Isn’t it that the wife serves her husband like a servant?
At Yiqiong's age, she definitely couldn't understand it - in her opinion, it must be very pitiful for her grandmother to work hard and be called around by her grandfather.
But in fact, that may not be the case. The two have lived together for a lifetime. How can outsiders explain this kind of thing clearly.
"No wonder Qiong wasn't very happy when he mentioned going back." Aokiji helped Kasugano Xing put away the washed dishes and asked, "Does Qiong's grandfather still not like Qiong?"
"The old man has an old-fashioned character. Even if he really likes him, he won't show it." Kasugano Xing smiled and shook his head, and said calmly: "But after going to the hospital before, the old man seemed to have opened up a lot. It's just that this little guy Qiong has a bad temper. Damn, you have a stubborn temper, I’m afraid you won’t change your mind casually.”
"Yeah" Aokiji frowned slightly, having made a conclusion in his mind.
It seems that I still have to go to this countryside.
If there is no misunderstanding, if possible, let Qiong and his grandfather resolve their knots. Aokiji thinks this is a good thing.
If we wait any longer and Qiong's grandfather passes away, we may never have this opportunity again.
Aokiji helped Kasugano Xing wash the dishes. She wiped her hands and said with a smile: "Go and help Qiong pack your luggage. It's almost time for us to leave."
"Okay." Aokiji nodded, went upstairs, opened the door, and saw Qiong's room in a mess. She was sitting among the messy clothes, her eyes a little dull.
"Pfft, what are you doing?" Aokiji couldn't help laughing when he saw that she looked hopeless.
Qiong raised his head sadly and said in a weak voice: "I don't know what to take."
Aokiji looked down. In his opinion, the clothes here were just a white dress with longer sleeves and a dress with shorter sleeves. Oh, there might be some differences in patterns on the skirts, but... they seemed to be almost the same. !
Apart from the white dress, Qiong's clothes seem to have no other styles.
Si Aoki sat down cross-legged, packed her clothes, and said: "You don't like to go out anyway, so just bring three or four sets of clothes to change, including pajamas and underwear. If there is Internet over there, you can Just install the laptop and take it away, you don’t need more.”
Aoki chose a few dresses for her to fold, and also selected two pajamas that were similar to the dresses and put them in: "You can pack your underwear and socks yourself, and I'll pack up the notebooks in my room for you. "
Qiong nodded, looking at his gradually filling suitcase, biting his lower lip slightly, his expression dark.
Aokiji packed up his notebook and saw that Qiong was still sitting on the floor with his suitcase open and nothing packed. He frowned: "Why haven't you moved yet?"
Qiong sighed, stood up from the ground, and timidly stood in front of Aoki Si, raising his head pitifully: "Can I not leave? I can do it alone. I cook and eat on time every day. sleep."
Aokiji's slight frown made her gradually lower her gaze and her voice became weaker.
In the end, her voice was so thin that even Aokiji couldn't hear her clearly.
Seeing her look like an abandoned puppy, Aokiji couldn't help but stretched out his hand and took her into his arms: "Okay, it's not a separation of life and death, it's just one month, just one month ."
But, but I still have a few months. Qiong was in Aokiji's arms, closing his eyes weakly and holding him tightly.
"Okay, don't lose your temper. It will be a long time in the future. When you are cured, we can go to school together. When we go to college, we can also go to the same university." Aokiji's words made Qiong think of a lot Beautiful picture, she raised her head with a confused expression.
"Si Ke, but the doctors said that about me." Her unfinished words made Aoki Si feel soft. He knelt down and looked into her eyes: "Didn't you say you believe me?"
"Of course I believe you! It's just that" Qiong bit her lip lightly, not daring to look into Aoki Si's eyes.
Of course she wanted to believe in Aokiji, but the shadow of death had never left her side since she was a child. Every time she closed her eyes, she couldn't help but wonder whether she would wake up tomorrow. She was used to this kind of life and accepted her fate. But Aokiji always said that he would give her a bright future. She looked forward to it, but was afraid that it was all bubbles or beautiful lies.
Aokiji whispered softly: "I know you may sound a little unbelievable, but I will definitely make you better. Although Qiong says this a little pale, I still want to say, believe me."
Rubbing Qiong's soft cheeks with his hands, Aokiji smiled brightly: "Maybe this is a miracle, but I will definitely make the miracle happen, I promise!"
Qiong nodded lightly, looked at Aoki Si who was squatting in front of him, at eye level with him, tilted his cheek forward slightly, and hugged his neck tightly before he could escape.
Then, he kissed her hard.
"I'm scared, but I'm willing to wait." Qiong took the initiative to let go of his lips before Aoki Si pushed him away, tightly hooked his neck, and put his head on his shoulders: "Come pick me up early, OK?"
Aokiji stretched out his finger, touched his lips, and nodded slightly with a complicated expression: "Yes."
