"Agent, this is..." Xin Bajiu wanted to explain, but was stopped by Jiang Cheng at this time.
"Let the adults deal with the adults' matters. As for the children, just do what they want to do." Jiang Cheng said.
"But..." Xin Baji wanted to say something else, but looking at the smiling Jiang Cheng, he could only swallow what he wanted to say.
…
"What's going on?" Gintoki leaned at the door and asked Jiang Cheng, who had already taken off the uniform of the Temple Gate Guards.
"It's just a stupid father who remembered the agreement he made with his daughter many years ago." Jiang Cheng replied casually.
…
"I see, you are working as Atong's manager," the scar-faced uncle, no, should be said to be Atong-chan's father, sat on the bench in the large lounge outside the concert venue with his head lowered. , "It's amazing that mother and daughter have worked so hard to get to this point." After saying that, Atong-chan's father couldn't help laughing at himself.
"It's nothing to be happy about being praised by you. Until now, you can still show your face calmly." After saying this, Teramao Ichi (that is, Atong-chan's manager and mother) paused, took a puff of cigarette, and said He looked at Atong-chan's father, who had his head lowered. "Besides, speaking of which, you should still be serving your sentence, right? Why are you here?"
But Atong-chan's father lowered his head and said nothing.
"I'm really speechless. It's been thirteen years and it seems like you haven't made any progress at all." As he spoke, Teramato put out the cigarette butt on the trash can nearby and threw it away in the trash can. "You can live your life however you want." , but have you ever thought about it? What do others think of our mother and daughter hiding in the dark and crying? "
"Just because she has a father like you, how much Atong has suffered! Have you ever thought about it?!" Ms. Teramenshi continued to question. At this moment, Temple City couldn't help but recall that at the press conference, the reporter asked Atong [What attitude did Atong's father express about the concert? ] and other words, Atong-chan's confused and unable to let go expression.
"It is your fault to make Atong so painful. Please disappear and never appear in front of us again!" With that, Atong-chan's mother turned around and left. "Please don't let that child think about it again." Something unhappy, my father is a murderer or something like that..."
At this time, Atong-chan's father finally raised his head, looked at Atong-chan's mother who had walked to the door, and opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, and the door closed...
But at this moment, a hand holding a piece of chewing gum suddenly reached in front of Atong-chan's father.
"Want to eat? Chewing gum?" Gintoki had already sat on the right side of Atsushi-chan's father at some point.
"How could I eat something that children love to eat?!" Atong-chan's father replied without thinking.
"One of the secrets to a happy life is to never forget your childlike innocence. Breaking out of jail just to see your daughter on stage is something that only a fool like a kid would do?" Gintoki said, looking at Atsushi-chan's father.
"It's not like that! If I have to say it... because it was an agreement made before." As he said that, Atong-chan's father couldn't help but think of the agreement he made with Atong-chan as a child thirteen years ago. At that time, I once said, "If you can hold a concert, I will hold a million roses and go to the front to support you!"]That's the case, but now...
"You won't remember it. After all, it's been thirteen years. Maybe even if you remember it, you won't want to think about it again." Atong-chan's father couldn't help but smiled bitterly, "She has suffered a lot because of me. , she must not even want to see me..."
"I'm going back. After all, I even forgot to buy roses." As he said that, Atong-chan's father was about to get up.
"Well, do you want some of this? It's not something children like to eat." At this time, a hand holding a bottle of Chinese high-strength liquor suddenly reached in front of Atong-chan's father.
"Hey! You're kidding! How can you drink alcohol with such a high alcohol content?!" Atong-chan's father couldn't help but complain.
"Is it high? Is it higher than the prison wall?" As he spoke, Jiang Cheng reached back, bit open the lid, and drank a few gulps of liquor.
"The promise that I want to fulfill, the promise that I want to fulfill even if I cross the high prison wall, whether that daughter remembers it or not, can't you just remember it? And, I believe, that daughter will definitely remember it, and I don’t care if there are a million roses. The only thing more sad than not being able to fulfill your promise is forgetting your promise. Remember it, uncle.”
"You..." Atong-chan's father was about to say something, but at this time Kagura ran over while shouting.
"Gin-chan~"
"What's wrong?" Gintoki asked, looking at the panting Kagura.
"There's trouble at the venue, Aru. A guest went berserk and fired..." Kagura was stopped by Gintoki before she could finish her sentence.
"Speak to me normally, I don't understand you at all!" Gintoki pinched Kagura's face and said.
"No, there is a Celestial being over there at the venue. What's worse, it's the [Love Eater Tribe]. It's a perverted Celestial Being Aru who wants to devour the person he likes when he gets excited." Kagura just finished speaking. , I saw Atong-chan’s father standing up at an extraordinary speed and quickly rushed into the venue.
"What did that uncle do? Do you want to protect Atong-chan, Aru? He is just an ordinary person!" Kagura said.
"Parents are just such creatures." Jiang Cheng sighed.
"Jiang Cheng, I remember you said you were an orphan? Where did your parents come from?" Gintoki couldn't help but ask.
"Isn't that how it is played on TV?" Jiang looked at Gintoki like he was an idiot.
But at this moment, the screams of the audience in the venue were suddenly heard. Immediately afterwards, the door was squeezed open, and a large number of audience members ran out in panic.
"Let's go, that uncle is no match for that kind of creature." As he said that, Jiang Cheng nimbly avoided the crowd while heading into the venue.
When Jiang Cheng entered the venue, he saw a huge humanoid creature wearing the uniform of the Temple Gate Guards standing on the stage, with a huge mouth on its belly, and dozens of long red sticks sticking out from it. tentacle.
At this time, the uncle wearing a plastic bag had been knocked to the ground, and Atong-chan and her mother were beside him. It looked like he had just blocked a blow for Atong-chan.
"Wake up!" Atong-chan said in surprise.
Atong-chan's father realized his situation and immediately got up.
"You, who are you?" Atong-chan couldn't help but ask.
"Just, just an ordinary fan." Atong's father said and stood in front of Atong-chan and her mother again.
At this time, the celestial being once again launched an attack on the several members of the Guards who wanted to stop him, and saw that his huge hand was about to hit Xin Baji.
Shinbaji was so frightened that he closed his eyes, but the expected attack did not happen. When Xin Baji opened his eyes, he saw Jiang Cheng standing in front of him.
"Boy, the first lesson for you is to never close your eyes when facing the enemy. Whether you are resisting or running away, never close your eyes!" As he said that, Jiang Cheng pointed the umbrella in his hand towards the enemy. The Mingtianren threw it with all his strength, and the force was so great that it knocked the Celestial being back dozens of meters and nailed him to the wall.
The heavenly being also fell into a coma.
"Too...too strong, Jiang Chengsang!" Xinbaji shouted in disbelief.
"I actually hate Tentacle Play the most. I have no desire to read any more. I don't even want to click on the cover when I see it!" Jiang Cheng said disdainfully.
"Hey, have you ever listened to what anyone said? No one asked you about your hobby!" Xin Baji complained.
"Hey, hey, you've ruined the venue, but you still like to cause chaos as always." Gintoki's voice came, and Jiang Cheng's umbrella was thrown over at the same time.
Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand to catch his umbrella, jumped off the stage at the same time, and walked to the door without looking back, "You three, please hurry up. If you are late, we will not invite you to the ramen as promised."
"Uncle," Gintoki said, throwing the flowers he picked from outside to Atsushi-chan's father, who was covering his head with a plastic bag, "Although it's not enough for one million flowers, the rest Just fool around with love or something." After saying that, Gintoki, Kagura and Shinpachi also walked towards the door at the same time.
After receiving the flower, Atong-chan's father couldn't help but chuckle, then turned around and handed the wild flower in his hand to Atong-chan.
Atong-chan took the flower with some doubts, but the next moment, the memory that had been buried deep in his heart began to wake up, but at this time Atong-chan's father was almost walking to the door.
"Next time... remember to bring roses next time!" Atong-chan shouted, "I will, I will stay on the stage until then... Dad!"
The uncle stopped at the door, but then opened the door and walked out.
But, the tears have already flowed down...
"Hey, is the tearful farewell finally over?" Gintoki said while leaning on the door.
"I'm not saying goodbye with tears. I will definitely...definitely come to see her again." Atong-chan's father had already taken off the plastic bag covering his face and said with tears streaming down his face.
The police who had been waiting at the door stepped forward to put the handcuffs on Atong-chan's father again and put him in a police car. Before leaving, several policemen said hello to Jiang Cheng who was standing aside.
"Do you know? Gintoki, actually at that time, in the end, we didn't have nothing to protect." Jiang Cheng said and threw an envelope to Gintoki.
Gintoki caught it and opened it. There were dozens of photos inside.
"This is… "
"Their photos, including wedding photos, parent-child photos, children's full-month photos, and children's school photos, they send me a lot of photos every year. It's annoying to death." Jiang Cheng couldn't help but smile.
It turns out that the photos Jiang Cheng gave were photos of those comrades who were driven away by Jiang Cheng before the last battle of the Anti-Barbarian War. Because of Jiang Cheng, they survived and started a new life.
Seeing the various new lives shown by his old friends in the photos, Gintoki couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. But in the end, Gintoki threw the photo at Jiang Cheng again.
“Ramen is a piece of shit…”
