She showed an expression of complete incomprehension: "Mr. Nanxiang, what are you talking about? I don't understand it at all."

Her disguised expression can be said to be flawless.

The look of surprise, panic, and confusion when the strange man grabbed his hand looked natural, without any flaws.

If it were anyone else, they would probably doubt their own judgment at this moment.

but--

Nanxiang Shi still didn't look like letting go.

On the contrary, he looked at her with a teasing and gentle look.

This made Matsuzaka Shio anxious.

She couldn't help but speak: "Mr. Nanxiang, if you do this again, I will call the police. Doesn't it matter if you are regarded as a lunatic who molested women?"

Her voice warned Nan Xiangshi in front of her sternly.

His expression changed from panic at the beginning to serious now, as if he was about to take out his cell phone and call the police in the next second.

This is undoubtedly an intimidation tactic.

but--

"You can just call the police. On the contrary, it will be easier to explain things clearly when the police come."

Nanxiang Shi didn't pay attention to the other party's threats at all. On the contrary, a smile appeared on his lips.

"I..."

Matsuzaka Shio opened his mouth.

Of course she didn't dare call the police.

Because as Nanxiang said.

If the police come.

Nanxiang Shi estimated that as long as he heard the surname "Matsusaka" in her name, he could basically confirm her identity.

This is something she definitely doesn't want to see.

But now there is no other way to get out of trouble...

Matsuzaka Shio was filled with emotions and was secretly anxious.

In the end, she had no choice but to lower her voice: "You...Mr. Nanxiang, what are you going to do?"

The Nanxiang Shi in front of me was really soft and hard.

There was really no other way, so she could only ask with a straight face.

She originally planned to stay in a stalemate with Nanxiang Fashion and stay stunned until the end.

but--

Nanxiang's next words made Matsuzaka Shio, who had been so insistent just now, immediately relax.

His words were simple.

It can be composed as simple as a few syllables.

"How is your mother doing now?"

When he said this, Nanxiang looked at Matsuzaka Shio with doting eyes, and caressed her head.

And just such a simple action.

Just such ordinary words.

But Matsuzaka Shio, who was originally full of persistence, could no longer persist.

She lowered her voice and sobbed softly.

...

No matter how strong your heart is.

Shio Matsuzaka has always been a woman.

And as long as you are a woman, you must have a soft place in your heart.

Nanxiang Shi knew this very well.

Watching her sobbing softly.

In order not to cause a commotion, he took her hand and went outdoors.

First, I can breathe fresh air.

Secondly, it can also help the other person relax their dull mood.

This move is very effective.

Look at the green plants outdoors and the pond and bamboo forest in the courtyard.

Matsuzaka Shio's crying gradually stopped.

She couldn't help but look sideways at Nanxiang.

Until now, she still couldn't figure out why Nanxiang Shi was able to figure out her identity.

but--

This can no longer be hidden at all.

Matsuzaka Shio smiled helplessly.

Obviously this time I came here just to say goodbye to the Nanxiang family.

But Nanxiang Shi suddenly appeared and held her tightly.

Can I only say that he is worthy of being a man that his mother will talk about for a lifetime?

The other party can indeed be said to be extremely proficient in controlling girls' moods.

And seeing her finally relieved her mood.

Nanxiang also handed over the tea at hand.

The fragrant aroma of high-grade tea cheered up Matsuzaka Shio.

She drank it slowly, exhaled, and looked more relaxed.

"May I have your name?"

Nanxiang Shi turned his head and asked softly.

Although he already knew the other person's name in future letters.

But it's better to ask here to make it seem more natural.

"My name is Shio Matsuzaka."

The girl who was still arrogant just now finally stopped being arrogant and answered Nanxiang's question in a low voice.

"Matsusaka salt..."

Nanxiang murmured this name.

He vaguely understood the reason why Matsuzaka Sugar named Matsuzaka Salt...

Salt...represents bitterness.

In other words, from birth, this child has been a symbol of bitterness in the eyes of Matsuzaka Satou.

He held Matsuzaka Shio's hand.

The girl even curled her toes unaccustomed to such gentle treatment.

Nan Xiangshi didn't care about her reaction. He just smoothed her hair gently and continued to ask: "How is your mother now?"

"..." Matsuzaka Shio did not answer immediately this time.

But after a long silence, he slowly spoke: "My mother passed away last month."

Sure enough...

Nanxiang sighed.

Originally, he actually had some expectations in his heart.

He hoped that Matsuzaka Shio simply deceived himself in the letter and gave up the idea of ​​​​looking for their mother and daughter, so he lied that his mother, Matsuzaka Granose, had passed away.

The probability is small though.

But it's still a hope.

But obviously... hope eventually turned into disappointment.

"Is it."

He was silent for a moment, and then turned his gaze to the bamboo forest in the courtyard.

When the breeze sweeps through the small bamboo forest.

The bamboo leaves also fell rustlingly.

This scene was seen by Matsuzaka Shio, and she couldn't help but hold Nanxiang Shi's hand, and then spoke in a low voice.

"Actually, my mother has never regretted it."

She continued speaking in a low voice: "She has no regrets about meeting her father, and she also has no regrets about falling in love with him..."

"Have you never regretted it...? She is still the same."

Nanxiang Shi shook his head gently.

Just like Matsuzaka Sugar in the simulated route, Matsuzaka Sugar in this future route still looks like she has no regrets.

"Come on, Salt, take me to where you live."

Nanxiang stood up, took Matsuzaka Shio's hand, and said so.

Originally, Matsuzaka Shio subconsciously wanted to refuse.

But when he looked at Nanxiang, the words of rejection rolled at the edge of his throat, and he finally swallowed them.

She still couldn't bear to refuse Nan Xiang.

After walking out of Nanxiang's house, they got into Nanxiang's car. The father and daughter were talking softly in the car.

In fact, most of them were when Nango asked about Matsuzaka Shio's recent situation, and she just answered in a low voice.

"You obviously got into college but dropped out because you didn't have the tuition to study...?"

Nanxiang stroked Matsuzaka Shio's head and asked, "Where is Aunt Sayuri?"

The other party should not just watch Matsuzaka Shio drop out of school and work.

"Ah...are you talking about great-aunt Sayuri...?"

Hearing this familiar name, Matsuzaka Shio reacted and said: "Aunt Sayuri has been working too... I heard from my mother that when she was young, Mr. Nango..."

When she said this, her voice hesitated.

"fine."

Nanxiang Shi was very generous about this: "Just call me what you want to call me."

Everything requires a step-by-step process.

You can't just point at yourself and ask Matsuzaka Shio to call you dad right from the beginning, right?

You must know that this is more than twenty years of neglect.

The progress of riding a rocket will not be so fast.

"good..."

Matsuzaka Shio continued without hesitation.

It turns out that when Nango was young, the lesson he gave to Sayuri Matsusaka was very effective.

The other person never did anything like fooling around with other men in the apartment again.

Instead, he picked up his life again, worked outside the home, and at the same time fulfilled his role of guardianship of Matsuzaka Sugar.
