I play the wind instrument in Hokkaido.

Nagase's father could hear the helplessness in his lover's tone. He took a deep drag on his cigarette, flicked off the ash with practiced ease, and said:

"Useless. +Small tax^C?M·S-^First release^"

A hint of admiration and longing flickered in Nagase's mother's eyes as she stroked her chin with her slender white hand and said...

"He is a very charismatic and capable man."

Nagase's father laughed, gave her a wary look, and said:

"You haven't fallen in love with him, have you?"

He was joking, but you could tell he wasn't very happy.

The thought that his wife might suddenly fall in love with a younger man would be a blow to him no matter how he thought about it.

Nagase's mother walked to his side and gently poked his head with her finger, saying:

"Fool, if I hadn't met you, I would definitely have fallen in love with someone else."

Nagase's father suddenly became a little embarrassed, and just smiled and said:

"What should we do? We really don't want this opportunity to slip away."

With his keen business sense, he could sense the immense commercial value in Kitahara Hakuba, and realizing that monetizing it would be a very meaningful and fulfilling thing.

"What do you think of Kitahara as a son-in-law? He's only six years younger than me," Nagase's mother suddenly asked.

"Isn't this not good?"

“What’s wrong with that? When the time comes, let him take the master’s exam and graduate. Yueye will be over twenty years old by then. We can also have more contact with his family in private. Besides, you can’t tell that the child likes him, can you?”

'It's one thing to be able to see it, but this t::'

"What's this?"

Nagase's mother spoke calmly and unhurriedly.

"Kitahara talks a high-sounding game about a teacher's responsibility, but I don't believe he doesn't have ulterior motives towards Tsukiyo. Ugh, all boys are like that."

Even now, she still has absolute confidence in her daughter's charm.

“Isn’t that just being a pervert?” Nagase’s father frowned.

What's wrong with being a little erotic?

Nagase's mother waved her hand dismissively.

“I am satisfied with his speech and temperament, so I will skip him. The important thing is that the child likes him. The future is her own. No matter if the choices she makes are right or wrong, it is her choice.”

While the two were talking, Kitahara Hakuba and Nagase Tsukiyo came out.

Nagase's mother's attitude had changed a lot; she was all smiles at Kitahara Hakuba, and they discussed sending Kitahara Hakuba home.

Kitahara Hakuba figured that there was still mains electricity, so he made all sorts of excuses.

But Nagase's father was adamant and chose to drive him home himself.

The moment he got into the car and fastened his seatbelt, Kitahara Hakuba suddenly sensed something was wrong and looked at him with a terrified expression, saying:

"Mr. Nagase, didn't you drink?"

"It's alright. Tianxi Xiaoshui is even more prosperous and happy."

Nagase's father said with a smile,

"That white wine is sweet, only nine percent alcohol. You should have seen that I only had a small glass. And what's that 'bac' thing?"

.

“bac”.

"I don't know, but it definitely won't exceed that."

Kitahara Hyakuma raised an eyebrow.

Are you really okay? You're not lying to me.

“And even if something happens, it won’t matter, I know them all,” Nagase’s father said.

Can this be said?

Kitahara Hakuba was somewhat uneasy, but the car had already been started. Outside the window, the fresh and juicy Nagase mother and daughter got into another luxury car.

"What does Mr. Kitahara think of Shin Asahi?"

Nagase's father looked ahead, the parking lot barrier lifted, and he stepped on the gas, the car driving forward smoothly.

“That’s right. Shenxu is a very important part of my life.”

"Actually, Shenxu has not been established for long. Our initial goal was to become the strongest private school in southern Hokkaido, but we found that the overall quality of the school was too difficult to control, with too many decisive factors, and it could change every year."

“That’s right.” Kitahara Hakuba nodded.

Chapter 304, Section 303: I Examine Myself Three Times a Day (4K) >>

After sitting in the car for a while, it got a bit stuffy again.

"Would you like to add us?"

Nagase's father said very bluntly,

"I recognize your abilities, and you've already passed the test. This might be your only chance in the future, so I think it's best not to give up."

This statement sounded like a warning to Kitahara Hakuba, but he understood that Nagase's father was also saying the same thing to him.

"I don't plan to stay at Shenxu right now."

Kitahara Hakuba stared intently at the T-junction ahead as a silver minivan drove past. "He also didn't have a deep obsession with money."

"Why do you want to leave Shenxu?" Nagase's father's action of turning the steering wheel to the right was pleasing to the eye.

Kitahara Hakuba's fingertips touched each other as he smiled and said:

"I've been under so much pressure for so long, so I need to relax a bit. Also, I haven't spent much time with my girlfriend in a long time."

"You have a girlfriend?" Nagase's father immediately frowned, his tone full of disapproval.

"Yes, we've been dating for almost half a year."

Nagase's father pursed his lips and nodded, saying, "I see... It's a bit inappropriate. Could you ask her what she does for a living?"

"Sorry, I didn't want to reveal that." Kitahara Hakuba refused to answer directly.

"Row."

Nagase's father sighed helplessly. To be honest, as an elder, he also liked this young man very much.

But since that's the case, there's really nothing we can do.

The headlights, like two silver swords, pierced the darkness relentlessly. Kitahara Hakuba rolled down the car window, and through the half-open window, the night breeze slipped in, bringing a touch of coolness.

The houses along the street were brightly lit, and he suddenly thought of that girl who was all alone.

“I have something I’d like to ask you,” Kitahara Hakuba suddenly said.

“What? Ask away, if I know,” Nagase’s father said readily.

"Is Saito's father working for you?"

"Yes, he started working for me a long time ago, around the time when Yueye was just starting elementary school."

Nagase's father asked, somewhat puzzled.

"What's wrong? Because I've arranged a lot of things for him, he's been quite busy. Is it a problem with Saito's studies?"

His tone suggested that he was completely unaware of what had happened in the Saito family, and that the Nagase mother and daughter hadn't told him anything, so should he tell them or not?

Kitahara Hakuba suddenly fell silent. At this moment, he was overcome with compassion and went to plead for Saito Haruka, advocating for her justice. Even he himself found it ridiculous.

Saito Haruko probably already felt that it didn't matter anymore. As she was about to come of age, she shouldn't waste her energy on these meaningless things.

“It’s nothing, I just wonder why I’ve never met her parents,” Kitahara Hakuba said with a smile.

"Being busy with work is like this."

Nagase's father lightly touched the steering wheel and said,

"In order to have a better life, I have to keep working hard, and it's inevitable that I'll gradually drift apart from my family."

Kitahara Hakuba nodded in approval, but not in approval of Saito's father.

"I really like Qingniao. She's mature, reliable, and cheerful. There was a period of time when I noticed she hadn't come to Yueye's place for school, and I was worried that the two of them had a fight."

"Maturity is just a product of rationality and the surrounding environment. She is still a girl as delicate as a harp string. It's normal for her to quarrel." Teacher Kitahara is very thoughtful.

Kitahara Hakuba pressed the back of his hand against his cheek as he looked out the window.

Have I been neglecting Saito too much? I say I don't care about the past, but the way I talk to her always seems to have a barb in Saito Haruka's eyes. Am I really a petty and two-faced teacher?

She said that she specially cooked duck soup to thank him today, but his reply was very impolite. This is not the right attitude to be when someone kindly invites you to dinner.

Regardless, Kitahara Hakuba cannot treat her feelings so carelessly.

I unconsciously let out a breath, and what came into view was a familiar street.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Nagase. I'll get off here."

Only the bedside lamp was on in the room. Saito Haruka, wearing cotton pajamas, lay on the bed, outlining the soft curves of her buttocks.

The neckline of the pajamas was slightly open, vaguely revealing the girl's full, rounded breasts, which were completely uncovered by any fabric.

"call:

Saito Haruka held her phone in both hands, curled up like a baby, and on the phone screen was a group photo from the national tournament.

In the photo, Kitahara Hakuba, dressed in a tuxedo, is handsome and refined, with a genuine smile on his face.

Saito Haruka put her phone aside, strands of brown hair falling from the side of her face, causing a tickling sensation on her skin.

After staring blankly at the ceiling for a while, he picked up his phone again and watched the interview video of the national conference.

But you get tired of watching them quickly. However, the only thing I never get tired of is watching Kitahara Hakuba's interview videos, no matter how many times I watch them.

Saito Haruka curled up as usual, feeling a strange sensation as Kitahara Hakuma spoke in front of her in the video.

"Yingyi covered her mouth, but even if she hadn't, it wouldn't have mattered, no one could hear her."

But Saito Haruka buried her face in the blankets.
