Asano Nao stared at the face of the man next to her daughter. He was the man she had met countless times in her dreams and missed countless times in her mind. He was her lover, Miu's father,
She knew why her grandmother hid it and why she ran away. It turned out that the uncle in the grocery store was him.
She wanted to turn around and run away, but the cold winter wind blew the fine snow on the ground onto her body, and she felt like her body and consciousness were frozen.
She couldn't move, couldn't think.
After Yiyuan Miyu picked up the snowballs on the ground, she ran to her, pulled her into the house, and made her sit down at the low table.
The mother and daughter sat on one side, and Minami Yuki sat opposite them. The young man sat cross-legged, leaning back with a smile on his face, his arms resting on the ground, his eyes looking at Asano Nao.
Nao Asano lowered her head, not daring to look at Minami Yuxi.
The air conditioner had just been turned on, and the temperature in the living room was slowly rising, but the atmosphere was very cold. Yiyuan Miyu took off her coat, looked at her mother who was silent with her head down, and then looked at her uncle who kept his eyes on her mother.
What happened? Her little mind couldn't comprehend the complicated situation.
"Uncle, you haven't had breakfast yet, I'll make it." She didn't want to wait any longer, so she pulled her legs out from under the table and stood up.
"I want to eat some noodles. The ingredients will just be onions, gluten and kelp shreds." Minami Yuxi shifted her gaze away from Asano Nao and looked at Ihime Miu.
"I don't know where the noodles are. Uncle, come and look for them."
How could Yiyuan Miyu, who was more familiar with Minami Youxi's home than her own, not know where the noodles were? This was just an excuse for her to whisper something to Minami Youxi.
"Okay." Nan Youxi first went to the door leading to the backyard, locked the sliding door, and then went into the kitchen with Yiyuan Miyu.
"Can uncle handle my mother?" Yiyuan Miyu opened the refrigerator, took out the ingredients, and started cooking.
"No problem, don't worry." Nan Youxi took out oolong tea and poured a cup to drink.
"My mom just told me that she wants to break up my uncle and I! Don't be fooled by her. She is actually a very stubborn person!"
"Cook the noodles well. When I'm done eating, I'll let you know that your mother is vulnerable."
Nan Youxi put the oolong tea back into the refrigerator, patted Yiyuan Miyu's head, and returned to the living room.
Yiyuan Miyu finished cooking the noodles quickly, and she watched Nan Youxi finish eating with a nervous mood.
Putting the chopsticks on the bowl, Nan You looked towards Asano Nao, who shuddered when she noticed his gaze.
"I heard from Miyu that you want her to leave me?" he said.
Huh? So direct? Yiyuan Miyu was shocked.
“… No.” Nao Asano panicked for a moment and decided not to admit it.
Eh? If you say that, Mom, wouldn't it mean that I lied to my uncle? Yiyuan Miyu was shocked again.
She hurriedly stood up and tried to clarify herself, but Nao Asano clamped her waist with one hand, covered her mouth with the other, and held her in her arms, preventing her from speaking.
"Hmm!" Yiyuan Miyu struggled.
"Then, Miyu, you have no objection to coming to my place in the future, right?" Nan Youxi asked again.
“…No.” Asano Nao replied.
Yiyuan Meiyu realized something was wrong. She stopped resisting, looked up at her mother, and then looked forward at her uncle. Her mother's expression was hidden by sunglasses and a mask, and her uncle had a serious expression. This was the first time she saw her uncle like this, except when he was playing.
"Take off your hat, mask and sunglasses." Nan Youxi said again.
How could my mother take these off! She relied on these to get out! Yiyuan Miyu wanted to smooth things over and help her mother explain, but she saw her mother let go of her and put her hand on her cheek.
Um
Nao Asano pulled down the hood of her coat, took off her knitted hat, removed her sunglasses, and took off her mask.
Her somewhat pale face was seen by Yiyuan Miyu and Minami Youxi.
Yiyuan Meiyu was frightened again. She touched her mother's forehead and doubted her mental state. She looked at Nan Youxi again, wondering if her uncle had cast some magic.
From the moment she saw uncle, something was wrong with mom!
She saw that her uncle, who was sitting upright, lay down on his side. His posture became casual and the seriousness on his face faded away.
"My waist and neck are a little sore. Please give me a massage." Nan Youxi turned over and lay on the tatami.
Yiyuan Meiyu stood up and complained in her heart: Uncle, look at the situation, my mother is here, do you want to order her daughter around in front of her
Before she could stand up, a figure got there first, knelt beside her uncle and started massaging him.
Mom, why did you take my job!
No, isn’t that right? Could it be that she is Dian’s mother
What's going on? Why did my extremely shy mother listen to my uncle so much and even dare to touch him
Yiyuan Meiyu staggered two steps in shock and fell down on the tatami. She pinched her legs to make sure she was not dreaming, and rubbed her eyes to make sure it was not an illusion.
At this time, the uncle took new action. He raised his head and said, "The tatami is too hard. Let's go upstairs."
After saying that, he got up, took my mother's hand and walked upstairs. My mother lowered her head and followed him up the stairs without even a hint of resistance.
This is the one, definitely the one! The scene on TV where the screen goes black and a long time passes!
Yiyuan Miyu covered her face and secretly looked at the two people coming upstairs through her fingers.
Why do you, mom, do that kind of thing when you meet uncle
Something is wrong. Something is very wrong!
Uncle likes to order people around, so it’s not surprising, but what’s wrong with you, mom
Yiyuan Miyu fell into trouble and deep thought.
A low voice called her from the backyard. She turned around and saw her grandmother bending over the door, waving at her.
She turned off the air conditioner in the living room, put on her coat, opened the sliding glass door and went out.
"Let's go home, Miyu, and don't disturb them." Grandmother held her hand.
"Grandma also saw what happened just now?" Yiyuan Miyu asked.
"Yes. Don't worry Miu."
"But, mom and uncle went upstairs. Why does mom listen to uncle so much?"
The old lady hesitated for a moment, feeling that she should not tell the truth, so she embellished the truth.
"Because your mother also has evidence in your uncle's hand," she said.
"So that's how it is!" Yiyuan Miyu suddenly realized.
She thought that everything would make sense now. When her mother saw her uncle, she thought of her own weakness and so she obeyed her uncle and did not dare to disobey him!
"But isn't it too much for my uncle to use this as a threat to force my mother to go upstairs?" She had new doubts.
This issue concerns my uncle's innocence.
"Didn't your uncle also use Miyu's weakness to threaten Miyu? Do you think he is going too far?" The old lady smiled.
Yiyuan Meiyu thought for a while and came to a conclusion: "I think my uncle is a good person. Although he was threatened, he was quite happy."
"That's it. As long as the person being threatened doesn't mind, it's not a threat. It's just their unique way of getting along with each other, like a game between the two of them."
"I understand!" Yiyuan Miyu suddenly realized.
The old lady held her great-granddaughter's hand and added two new sets of footprints next to the footprints they had when they came.
"Oh, right," the old lady suddenly thought of a good idea, "Miyu, you want your mother to come out and play with you, right?"
"Of course I do, but my mom never goes out," said Yiyuan Miyu.
"Go and act like a spoiled brat to your uncle, and let him threaten your mom, so that she can go out!"
"There is such a method, grandma, you are so smart!"
"That's right, grandma, when I was young, I played a lot too!"
Under the pure white sky, snow was falling again. The snowflakes were very fine and landed silently on the roofs and branches. It was almost noon, and the children in the village and the adults who still had a childlike heart were making snowmen in the snow.
Yiyuan Miyu built one in front of her own doorstep, and after getting her grandmother's approval, she ran to Nan Youxi's backyard to build another one.
On the second floor, Nan Youxi sat on the edge of the bed and lifted the curtains to look at the girl below.
The air conditioner was whirring softly, raising the temperature in the bedroom to a high level.
He turned his head and looked at the woman on the bed.
The woman was looking at him secretly, and when she saw him suddenly turn his gaze, she quickly pulled the blanket to cover her face and hide her expression.
Minami Yuxi smiled. After nearly ten years of separation, they were still so in tune with each other, and Asano Nao was still so shy.
He leaned down and tried to pull the blanket off Nao's face, but the woman was holding on tightly and it was difficult to pull it off.
He then turned around and lifted the other end of the blanket.
Asano Nao immediately let go, revealing a blushing face. Her wet eyes had nowhere to look. She glanced at Minami Yuxi, then quickly moved away, jumping around on the furnishings in the room.
Nan Youxi tapped his girlfriend's rosy lips and patted her legs: "Get up, go down and make a snowman with Miu."
"I don't want to go down." Asano Nao covered her face with the blanket again, feeling ashamed and angry. How could she face Miu after doing such a thing!
"Eh? Sister, do you mean you want to continue to accompany me? I'd love to." Nan Youxi stopped walking towards the closet.
"Let's go down." Nao Asano sat up.
"Huh? Does sister mean you dislike me?" Nan Youxi said again.
“No! I didn’t…” Nao Asano hurriedly denied. Her panicked eyes met Minami Yuki’s teasing gaze, and she realized that she was being fooled.
She didn't dare to stay too long with the man she had been thinking about day and night. His voice, which was more mature than when he was a teenager, his smile that hadn't changed, the scent of new shower gel on his body, his strong arms, his firm chest... all made her feel happy.
Men are the embodiment of happiness. Happiness is the concept of men in language. Happiness is men themselves. This small bedroom is full of the smell of men. Every move and every look of men are projections of happiness in reality.
She didn't dare stay here for long, for fear of drowning in the sea of happiness.
"Then let Miyu play by herself for a while." Nan Youxi sat on the bed again.
[After learning about her daughter's experience, Asano Nao came to your house, wanting to call you to task. The moment she saw you, she lost her purpose and her words, and you pulled her back to her old dreams.]
