Chapter 129: A Visit to the Lantern Gate
At seven o'clock in the evening, the stars are shining brightly, but the lights are not in the mood to observe the beauty of the universe.
Deng was standing on the twenty-first floor of a high-rise duplex in the port area, in front of Kashiwa Sanhui's house, hesitating whether to knock on the door.
He rubbed the hat string of his baseball sweatshirt nervously, swallowed, and looked back at Lenai who was hiding behind the fire door of the safe escape exit with just her cute little head sticking out.
dong dong dong-
"Is the doctor home?"
There was no response, and looking carefully through the crack in the door, it seemed that even the light was not on.
"My name is Deng. Doctor, is it convenient for you to see me?"
Still no response, Deng couldn't help but feel discouraged. His legs went weak and he was ready to run away. His big eyes, sparkling like a little animal, were filled with crystal tears.
Sure enough, the doctor still didn't want to see me... The doctor was scared by my singing that night and he didn't want to see me anymore...
Lenai was delighted by this and had no intention of trying to coax Deng not to be sad. Instead, she opened a matcha flavored lollipop handed to her by Kashiwa Sanhui and started enjoying it, humming softly.
Yes, kids, Lao Ke has been here for a long time.
When he came back from picking up the car, he accidentally pressed the wrong floor and ended up on the 23rd floor. He realized it too late, so Lao Ke simply climbed one or two flights of stairs, and then he saw this scene.
Looking at Tomorin standing in front of his house and silently shedding tears, and communicating with Lenai who had a kitten-like expression through eye contact and gestures for a while, Kashiwa Sanhui, who barely understood what was going on, sighed helplessly and prepared to go forward to coax Deng.
Seriously, how come Deng is even more easily stressed out than Yili... I should take these two children and correct their personalities if I have the chance. They may be cute, but they won't be able to survive in society with such personalities when they become independent...
I can't take care of them both for the rest of their lives...in principle, I can't.
"Deng, why are you standing in front of my door?"
Frightened by the magnetic voice of Kashiwa Sanhui, Deng turned around and wanted to rush into Kashiwa Sanhui's arms, but after hesitating for a moment, he immediately took two steps back to the elevator.
"...I'm sorry, doctor. I'll leave right away. I'm sorry—"
Without giving Deng the chance to continue saying self-deprecating words, Baihe Sanhui pressed on step by step and forced the panicked Deng into a dead end, then... gently touched Deng's short hair and bangs, which were a little messy due to the hot summer wind when he came.
"Why are you leaving... I didn't say that Deng and Lenai-chan are not welcome."
Feeling the warmth in Baihe Sanhui's palm, Deng wanted to hug him tightly, but was hesitant. The two little hands raised in the air grabbed the corners of Baihe Sanhui's clothes, grabbing and releasing them like a baby, which looked a little funny and adorable.
"If Deng wants to hug me, you can hug me, but I'm very tired today, so I only allow Deng to hug me for twenty seconds."
Then Deng really hugged Kashiwa Sanhui's waist tightly, buried his cute head in Kashiwa Sanhui's chest and began to count silently.
"One, two... fifteen."
Deng reluctantly let go of his hand and stood timidly in front of Kashiwa Sanhui, with his head lowered like a child who had made a mistake, his eyes red.
"Why does Deng cry every time he sees me?" Kashiwa Sanhui handed Deng a tissue and asked helplessly while opening the door. "If someone saw me, they would think I was bullying Deng."
"Sorry……"
"Don't be sorry, Lantern." Little Lenai pointed with her small hand at the tip of the nose that was still sniffling and breathing heavily. "The lamp is not wrong, the doctor is not wrong, it's the world that is wrong."
Then Lenai walked into Kashiwa Sanhui's house with her hands waving, looked around, and finally found a sofa she liked and leaned against it. Compared to the dim light standing at the door that seemed a little nervous, she didn't seem shy at all.
"Did Deng and Lenai come to see me about something?"
Baihe Sanhui served each person a cup of tea and sat back on a mahogany chair, resting his chin on the back of the chair and asked.
After all, it was not a good idea for a man and two women to be in the same room with the door of their house open. If it got out, it would easily cause a public opinion incident, which would bring their band and career to an abrupt end.
"Something's wrong..."
Savings version: Everyone wants to take advantage of the summer vacation to go to a music festival to see the world, but Su Shi is not sure which one to go to, so Deng takes the initiative to drag Xiao Lenai to ask Kashiwa Sanhui for advice.
Why are everyone so eager to jump levels and fight monsters? High school bands can just play on campus and in live houses.
"Well, we're actually planning to perform at the music festival." Kashiwa Miki unfolded a poster and flyer Momoka had given him earlier and handed it to Deng. "But in Kawasaki, your parents might not agree."
"Doctor, please help." Lenai was quite shameless and directly asked Kashiwa Sanhui to help convince the parents.
"Well, we want to go with the doctor too."
Shit, I’m the teacher leading the kids on a spring outing… Oh, it really is.
Kashiwa Sanhui gave a thoughtful look and replied rather reluctantly, "Of course I can... but there's one condition."
"You say it, we will do our best!"
Deng responded quite decisively, as if he would agree directly even if Kashiwa Sanhui sold them to go to Eastern Europe as filler babies.
Now I feel embarrassed to embarrass the cute little Deng.
"First of all, according to convention, the parent-teacher conference should be held a week before school starts..."
Holding parent-teacher meetings during the holidays is an abstract tradition at Yuqiu. Although students do not need to attend, every student's report card and teacher evaluation must be delivered to the parents.
Baihe Sanhui and the old vice-principal had already finished the work of marking and summarizing the papers, and Baihe Sanhui also knew exactly what Deng's grades looked like.
The results are already decided and cannot be changed, but Baihe Sanhui can prepare a set of make-up exam papers for Deng to do in advance.
"...So, Deng must pass the make-up exam, or else there's no point in discussing this. Okay?"
Although Deng was a little frightened when he heard Kashiwa Sanhui's description of his terrible final grades, he still nodded tremblingly: "Yeah... I understand."
"Secondly," Kashiwa Sanhui continued to emphasize, "In a few days I will take Xiangzi and the others to the recording studio to record songs, and you must come with us."
"I don't expect you to succeed in recording in one go, but at least you should see the world and see how other professional bands operate, okay?"
Before Deng could respond, Lenai, who had been listening intently, jumped in and said, "Sure, it's a deal!"
Interesting things are coming!
"That's a deal then," Kashiwa Sanhui offered his pinky finger to shake hands with both Deng and Lenai. "We can't delay writing songs or reviewing!"
"it is good!"
"Good~"
After receiving positive responses from the two, Baihe Sanhui felt relieved and prepared to see them off - after all, it wasn't a good idea to let these kids stay with him all the time.
Especially the lights, and the song that night... I didn't really play it myself, but when I think back on it, it has that same meaning no matter how I listen to it.
Regardless of whether it is true or false, suspects like Deng must be kept on guard, not only for Deng’s physical and mental health, but also for your own career!
In comparison, Xiangzi made her feel more at ease. On weekdays, they got along like brothers. The occasional unexpected physical contact was quite normal for a girl to blush. It was expected...
...Even if Xiangzi is like that, at least Xiangzi's character will not drive her to do things that would make her worry!
"Um...doctor." When he heard Deng calling his name timidly, Kashiwa Sanhui, who was preparing to wash up, stopped his hand that was originally tying his loose long hair.
"what happened?"
"And..." Deng blushed and stretched out his palm, making a five gesture.
"...Five seconds left."
(PS: I gave it an extra 20 seconds for the sake of the light.)
