Chapter 141 31: Camel
After class.
Siting down on a double seat in Hidaka's house, Shirai took a deep breath while thinking about what to say later.
She knew that her mother had always acted like she hated her father, but.
"Apricot?"
When Shirai came back to her senses, her mother was already sitting opposite her, looking at her strangely.
"Are you too tired from studying and haven't had a good rest? I called you several times but there was no response."
"No, Mom." Shirai looked at her mother, she had a little thick makeup. With her beautiful makeup, gentle temperament and clear appearance, sitting with her doesn't look like mother and daughter, but more like sisters.
She held Shirai's hand and smiled: "Look, I didn't eat well, so I lost weight."
Shirai shook his head: "I have to eat."< br>
"Have you ordered? What do you want to eat?"
"Not yet. Mom, do you want to eat noodles?"
"Noodles? I haven't eaten noodles for a long time. They all If you don’t like noodles, let’s order two rice dishes.”
“Yeah, I can do that.”
Shirai looked at his mother who was ordering on the screen and was about to bring up the subject of his father. There, I saw a bruise on the side of her face.
She lowered her head and bit her lip: "Mom, aren't you hot?"
Shirai's mother was startled, looked at her long sleeves, fiddled with her hair to cover the bruises, and smiled unnaturally. : "I'm afraid of the cold, have you forgotten?"
"Dad, he came to see me."
Shirai's mother's expression changed, she stared at Shirai, and said seriously: "He How did you know where you lived? Did you tell him? Did he come to borrow money? Don't give it to him. He deserves to die. If you get close to him, he will be harmed. Implicated!"
Shirai opened his mouth and paused: "He just came to see me, nothing else."
"It's been a bit difficult for me during this time. Don't worry, I will find a way to find you a new apartment. That place is so bad now that anyone can get there. I will find a better place for you. Don't worry about your dad, got it?" Shirai's mother said seriously, touching Shirai's face.
Shirai's eyes were a little dazed.
Do you really not care about him?
A memory appeared in her mind.
“At work, don’t think I don’t know you’re off work! What? You have to accompany your clients to their homes, right?!”
"You took measures? Just that ice pack?! When I came back, Xingzi had a high fever and was delirious. Do you know?"
"Dad."
"Huh, Xingzi, don't I'm afraid, dad is here, it will be fine. Is something wrong? Do you want me to call the nurse? Nurse! My daughter is awake, please help me!"
"Don't blame mom. "
".Okay, I don't blame her, I'm sorry Kyoko, we won't quarrel in the future, I'm sorry."
Dad's face was gradually replaced by Mom's.
"Kyoko? Remember, betting on dogs is not worth pity."
"Yes."
She breathed a sigh of relief, patted Shirai's hand, and wanted to say What, the phone in the bag suddenly rang.
"Hello? My dear, Shengze has a fever! Okay, okay, I'll go back right now. I'm sorry, I was fine just now"
After hurriedly hanging up the phone, Shirai's mother stood up in a panic and said apologetically: "I'm sorry Kyoko, Katsunori that child suddenly has a fever. He was obviously very energetic just now. I have to go to the hospital right now. I have already ordered two meals. , I’ve paid for it, it doesn’t matter if I can’t finish it, don’t force yourself, take care of yourself.”
“Goodbye, mom.”
Watching his mother’s back hurriedly leaving, Shirai seemed to be like. As if he had lost his soul, he remained silent for a long time.
“Hello.”
“Hello, Mr. Nakagawa, I am Kyoko Shirai.”
"Oh, the money has been collected?"
"I can't collect that much money."
".You want me to show you the way?" "I won't sell my body either. ”
“You are thinking too much. Although that is a way, it is not suitable for you. You have a better way.”
"Please tell me."
"You are a student of Shengying Academy. There are a bunch of rich people's children there. It should be easy to borrow this money."
Shirai thought Hirosue.
“That’s their money.”
“Okay, you have the backbone, let’s do this, you just need to sign the agreement and agree to take over your father’s debts, and you don’t have to worry about the legal effect. , we will make it effective. As a top student, I believe in your future, but as compensation for letting us wait, the two million yen will be raised to five million, and it will be paid back within two years of your graduation."
"But if you can't go to college, you still have three years to pay back the money after graduating from high school."
"I agreed, please let my father go."
Nakagawa was a little surprised that she agreed. Kuai: "No hurry, let's go somewhere first."
He gave the address of an izakaya.
After Shirai found the location, he rushed the train there.
There were no normal customers in the izakaya, only Nakagawa, her father, and a thug.
"Sign it, then go to the counter, steal all the money inside, and treat it as a gift from me." Mr. Nakagawa handed over a document that looked like a contract.
Shirai looked at it hastily and looked at his father with an unknown feeling.
“Daddy.”
she called.
But Shirai's father kept his head lowered and did not dare to look at her.
"This is the last time I call you daddy."
Shirai's father froze. In the end, he couldn't help but raise his head and looked at her with an embarrassed and haggard expression.
"From now on, live a good life and stop gambling."
After saying that, she signed her name one after another in the places marked on the contract.
Shirai's father stretched out his hand to stop him, but was pinned down by the thugs behind him, with tears streaming down his face.
Wiping away his tears, Shirai took a deep look at his father, and then walked towards the counter.
"Wait, put this knife on and hold it in your hand." Nakagawa handed her a knife, and Shirai took it silently.
Go behind the counter, open the unlocked drawer, take out about 30,000 yen in cash, and then return to the opposite side of Nakagawa.
"You can take away the money and the knife, and your father can be taken away too, if you want." Nakagawa put away the contract with a smile.
Shirai shook his head, dragged his tired body, threw away the knife, and left the izakaya.
"Typhoon Straw is expected to hit in two days, with maximum wind strength."
On the way back, Shirai rode the train and walked like a zombie, waiting until she had a little more energy to think. , I have arrived at the doorstep unknowingly.
"Is it you.?"
Shirai met an unexpected person.
Kondo Saki looked at her for a while: "Did something happen to you?"
"It's nothing, just some personal matters." Shirai planned to bury this matter deeply in his heart.
"If you tell me, I can give you some advice." Kondo clicked his tongue, "Maybe this has something to do with Hirosue."
Shirai finally couldn't help it: "Kondo-kun, Why do you keep targeting Hirosue-san?"
"I'm not targeting her, but I know that she doesn't have any interests. She won't approach you inexplicably, and approaching you must have ulterior motives. ." Kondo Saki's eyes were dark.
Shirai slowly lowered his head and said in a depressed tone: "I'm sorry, I didn't control my attitude just now. Thank you for caring about me, Kondo-san, but I'm really tired today. Let me take a rest, okay?"
Saki Kondo looked at her tired face with a hint of worry, nodded, and then left.
