Chapter 281 The Crow Becomes a Canary (Part 2)
Once in the car, no matter how heavy the snow or how cold the wind was, it had nothing to do with Su Shi.
Listening to the realistic yet humorous conversation between her mother and the doctor, Su Shi tightened her scarf, exhaled a breath of hot air, and the air floated onto the car window and turned into condensed water vapor.
If Aine were here, she would definitely start drawing stick figures with her fingers, one called Chihaya Soyo and the other called Nagasaki Aine... It's incomprehensible, what a childish thing.
"Have one?"
Kashiwa Sanhui found a parking space on the side of the road, turned around and asked Mrs. Nagasaki and Su Shi, while starting to search his pockets.
"Oh no, I don't smoke...lollipop?"
"Hmm," Kashiwa Sanhui nodded, and Su Shi took the lollipop that Kashiwa Sanhui had unpacked with ease. She stretched her neck as if asking someone to light a cigarette for her, brushed her hair behind her ears, and held the lollipop in her mouth. "Would you like one?"
"...Doctor, have you corrupted my daughter?"
"Of course not," Kashiwa Sanhui held the lollipop in his hand like he was smoking, swallowed the saliva produced by the excessive sugar, and leaned lazily against the back of the chair. "Rather, I quit smoking for your daughter. I'm afraid these kids will learn bad habits from me."
"That's good. Thank you very much for taking care of my daughter." Mrs. Nagasaki nodded with relief. She didn't know why, but she was very confident that Dr. Kashiwa would get along with her daughter... It would be better to say that by following him, Su Shi could live without any worries, right?
Should we try to bring them together... Unfortunately, Dr. Baihe is a foreigner and the age gap is quite large. If they really want to be together, the legal aspects will be very troublesome.
Moreover, the look in Dr. Baihe's eyes when he looked at his daughter was so pure and kind, without a trace of desire to like her. It was completely the look he gave to a child... It depends on whether Su Shi likes it or not. Anyway, if she really brings it to me, I definitely have no objection.
"Then let's do as we agreed," Mrs. Nagasaki instinctively tried to pull the contract price and a pen from her briefcase. After a moment's pause, she realized she'd been fired. She continued calmly. "I'll try to find a job that can support our family as soon as possible. Thank you for taking care of Sushi during this time."
Kashiwa Sanhui nodded. Seeing that Mrs. Nagasaki had not taken the lollipop from his hand, he ate two lollipops by himself with some disappointment, but it did not stop him from talking.
"Of course, but I can't help you with work matters. You also have to pay me Su Shi's living expenses on time."
"That's natural, is it a deal?"
"A word is settled!"
The two adults bumped their fists with their own thoughts, and with just a few words, they decided Su Shi's fate for the next few months or even the rest of his life. From now on, Su Shi can be said to be a permanent resident of Baihe Sanhui's house.
Isn't it a bit too much to charge Mrs. Nagasaki 50,000 yen a month for living expenses just for a room... And she is sharing the room with several people, including Xiangzi, Li Xiao and even Xiao Mutou.
If the mygo forces come here to have a party one day, Su Shi may have to endure the injustice and squeeze into the study.
Since the deal was done, Kashiwa Sanhui didn't mind giving Mrs. Nagasaki a ride. They had known each other for so long, and his tea set was still in her house. If he didn't give her a gift, it would seem unkind.
"Where are you going? To your new employer?"
Mrs. Nagasaki waved her hand wearily. "I'm not sure if it's a new employer yet... Just send me to Ikebukuro. I have a dinner appointment with an old client, and with their introduction, I'll have a better idea of what to do next."
"It's really hard work. I hope you can find a new job soon."
"I accept your good words."
The Dodge slowly drove onto the asphalt road. It wasn't too far from Ikebukuro, so soon Mrs. Nagasaki got out of the car in the cold wind and snow and continued to work hard for her life.
But before leaving, Mrs. Nagasaki leaned over to Su Shi's ear and whispered something... Unfortunately, it was a little dark, and Kashiwa Sanhui couldn't see her lip movements clearly, but after hearing these words, Su Shi's pretty face turned red quickly, which he could see.
"Goodbye, Doctor Baihe. Take good care of Sushi. I'm entrusting this child to you!"
"Of course I will. Take care of yourself and don't get too tired."
Mrs. Nagasaki is gone. Her thin figure is like a weak ray of sunlight shining through the treetops and into the shade of the trees. She wanders stubbornly and cheerfully in the steel forest. Women are weak by nature, but they become strong as mothers.
Su Shi leaned back on the backrest in a somewhat relaxed manner. The snow that had accumulated in her hair or in the seams of her clothes from sitting in the snow at the door of the cafe just now seemed to be slowly melting, and a tingling and wet feeling began to spread over her body.
Su Shi felt a little guilty. After all, she had troubled the doctor... The doctor took the initiative to interfere in her affairs. Isn't this just what she wants? Why am I so surrounded by guilt?
"Su Shi, let's go back now."
"Where are we going back to?" Listening to the words of the strange but reassuring man wearing sunglasses late at night, Su Shi nodded subconsciously, but still asked tiredly.
"Home...or rather, your home now."
The Dodge drove onto the overpass, and goose-feather-like snowflakes fell in the deep, dark night sky, bringing with them biting cold wind and icy air, purifying the fast-running machine. Everything seemed to slow down.
In the end, the crow still failed to build its nest.
"Have you eaten? Or have you not rested at all?"
"I didn't eat, and I didn't rest..."
"Didn't you promise Deng and the others that you'd be in a band for life? You'll only die early if you keep doing this."
"But... Mom is in pain, if I can't help..."
The car suddenly braked hard, and Su Shi fell headfirst into the leather car seat before she could finish her words. Although she was not injured, she still rolled onto the back seat in a very embarrassing manner and could not maintain a sitting position.
I can’t get up from this lie down… So warm, so soft, so sleepy…
The car seemed to have been driving for a while and then stopped. After an unknown amount of time, Baihe Sanhui came to the back seat carrying a small bag and let Su Shi rest her head on his thighs. Her chestnut hair, which was a little wet, flowed down like mercury, and Su Shi felt at ease and comfortable.
It feels like lying in cotton...
"Lie down for a while and then eat something. I bought some bread."
"Um...thank you, doctor, and I'm sorry."
"Don't be sorry, you don't owe me anything."
I'm not sorry because I feel guilty, but because...
Su Shi leaned into Baihe Sanhui's arms, turned sideways and put her arms around Baihe Sanhui's strong and tight waist. Her two pale and frozen palms were hidden between the hem of her windbreaker and the warm muscles on her waist, which was warm and a little ambiguous.
Feeling Su Shi lying in his arms, acting like a quiet and coquettish child, Kashiwa Sanhui shook his head helplessly. He did not push Su Shi away, but listened quietly to the avant-garde jazz music on the car radio and smoothed Su Shi's messy hair like stroking a kitten.
Neither of them was a noisy type, so they just chatted, drank tea, and enjoyed the quiet snowy night.
"I owe you a lot... I still have some willful things to do. Can you promise me?"
"You tell me first. If it's too much, I'll refuse."
"I want to transfer to Haneda."
"No, you should ask Mrs. Nagasaki about this matter. I can't make the decision."
"Then I hope you'll come and see us practice tomorrow."
"That's fine. If we hurry, we can be back in Tokyo in the afternoon."
"Then can you come every day from now on? I want to see you every day."
"If Mrs. Nagasaki is willing to support me, I will quit my job and bring Xiangzi and the others to RiNG every day."
"What do you want to eat tomorrow? I can go buy some groceries."
"Are you ready to be my nanny so soon? I won't pay you a salary."
Su Shi just smiled lightly without saying anything, but she hugged Baihe Sanhui with even more force, almost greedily craving the warmth of this saint-like man who allowed Mygo to continue.
The crow that failed to build a nest has become the canary in your cage... Naturally, I will depend on you for the rest of my life.
"Doctor, what would you like to eat tomorrow?"
"Can I eat out? I'd like something greasy."
"No!" Su Shi's slender jade fingers gently touched the tip of Baihe Sanhui's nose, and she looked at Baihe Sanhui teasingly and gently like a bad woman.
"You must go home for dinner, don't let Saki and I down~"
