"Ma... ster..."

"...Is it time to eat? I'll go down first."

With her head down, Liuhua hurried past the dumbfounded Sanae and came to the restaurant downstairs.

"Grandpa, Grandma, good evening."

"Six flower sauce?"

After noticing Liuhua's current appearance, grandpa, grandma and Shihua showed surprise expressions at the same time, but grandpa and Shihua were not as obvious as grandma.

Even Natsuki, who usually has no expression, and Xiaohui, who has a very subtle expression, smiled and nodded to her at this time.

Sure enough...it should be like this, this is what everyone expected, Liuhua thought to himself.

Except for these five people, there was only surprise and astonishment on the rest of the faces, and Xiaohui was actually just greeting with a habitual smile.

But at this moment, Liuhua didn't care about other people's reactions.

Chapter 094. Under the Moon

Shihua's cooking was as good as ever, but none of the people at the table were attracted by the delicious dishes. Their attention was all on Liuhua, whose image and temperament had changed drastically.

After Sanae came down from upstairs, she held a bowl of cheese salad that she hated the most, and ate it with a sad face. She just wanted to turn her grief into appetite and didn't care what she was eating.

The happy grandparents didn't think too much about it, they just thought it was because the children were too tired from playing on the beach in the afternoon, that's why they were so quiet now.Grandpa even took out a small bottle of sake, took Xia Shu to drink a few glasses, and then returned to the room with a smile and fell asleep.

After cleaning the dining table and the kitchen, Shihua came to the porch.Xia Shu was leaning against the pillars of the veranda, quietly looking up at the moon in the night sky.

"Are you okay?" Shihua sat down next to Xia Shu, and asked softly, "If you don't want to drink, don't force yourself, Grandpa is still very easy to talk to."

Xia Shu shook his head, pulled Shihua's right hand into his hand, held both hands and said, "Isn't it right to drink with grandpa? And it's only a few cups, and the degree is not high."

Shihua sniffed Xia Shu's body, and found that there was indeed no smell of alcohol, and then leaned on Xia Shu's body, resting her head on Xia Shu's shoulder.

"Where is Rikka and the other students?"

Natsuki asked, in order to maintain her majestic image, Shihua usually doesn't want to be seen by the students to have relatively intimate behaviors between her and Natsuki.

"Playing cards in the room, preparing to take turns to take a bath, Liuhua is with them, and won't come out if nothing happens."

After a pause, Shihua's tone was full of doubts, "Why did Liuhua become so... well-behaved after going to that open space? Is this also within your calculation? I thought she would be very sad, even I will continue to escape like before."

"Of course Liuhua is sad now, she just didn't show it, because she doesn't want you to worry."

"Don't want me to worry..."

"Liuhua broke through the south wall, and after witnessing the reality, she must have the idea of ​​continuing to escape, the urge to escape from here and back to Tokyo. The reason why she didn't do this is also because of you, and of course because of grandpa and grandma."

Before returning, Liuhua was able to clearly recognize and feel Shihua's love and devotion to her in the past three years.So when she came back, she could also realize the feelings hidden by her grandfather's stern face, not to mention her grandmother who had been worrying and caring for her all the time.

Because of these ties, Liuhua no longer evades the sad facts in front of her, but chooses to accept them.

"...You are just saying things to please me on purpose." Shihua closed her eyes, tears of joy rolled down from the corners of her eyes, of course she could feel that Liuhua was indeed what Natsuki said.

After feeling the wetness on his shoulders, Xia Shu sat up straight, supported Shihua's shoulders, and helped Shihua wipe away the tears on his face: "It's not the time to be happy yet, we have to go to the moisture-proof lift tonight. , find out what Liuhua saw that night."

"Huh? Is there still a need to go there? Isn't Liuhua already..."

"What I promised before was to untie Liuhua's heart knot, that is, to let Liuhua feel relieved of his father's death."

Xia Shu shook his head and said seriously, "Liuhua has to accept this matter now, and he is far from letting go. Of course, he can't just let it go."

Letting go is definitely not escaping, let alone forgetting and giving up, but if you just accept it, it is also not "letting go".

In Xia Shu's view, the cuteness shown by Liuhua tonight is just numbness and boredom after disillusionment, and Xia Shu doesn't want Liuhua to become like this.

After a series of incidents, Juhua has begun to subconsciously and blindly follow Natsuki's opinions on Liuhua's affairs. Of course, this is only limited to matters related to Liuhua.

"Then let's go now."

Shihua wanted to stand up immediately, but Natsuki held her down.

"It's not the time for Liuhua to sneak out that day, is it? Let's go out when the time is almost up. Right now, there are more important things to do."

"More important things? What?"

"Of course, stay with me." Xia Shu continued to lean on the pillar, and pulled Shihua over, holding Shihua's shoulder with his left hand, and half hugged Shihua in his arms.

The sudden straight ball made Shi Hua flustered for a while, and the words in his mouth became thoughtless: "Xia Shu-jun... the students are still awake, they may see them..."

"Huh? I don't want to do anything with you that they can't see."

stare……

Facing Xia Shu's pretending to be stupid, Shihua chose to stand up and stared at Xia Shu expressionlessly.But Natsuki ignored her gaze and just patted her on the head lightly, as if trying to appease a tantrum.

This kind of behavior made Shihua inexplicably feel at ease, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he was obediently leaning on Natsuki, and together with Natsuki, he looked at the quiet night sky that was hard to see when he was in a big city.

When was the last time you looked at this starry sky with such peace of mind?

Just behind the two of them, Ami who was passing by was looking at the backs of Natsuki and Toka in a daze across the entire living room. It will make people feel that this is a forced smile.

Xiaohui was about to go to the kitchen. She noticed that some people were too concerned about the changes in Liuhua that they didn't eat much for dinner. After a while, some people would definitely cry hungry, so she wanted to prepare some supper for everyone before taking a bath. I saw Ami who was in a daze at the door of the living room.

She walked to Ami's side, followed Ami's line of sight, and understood what happened.

So, she lightly touched Ami's shoulder.
