Chapter 130 First Kiss
After finishing the conversation with Kuka Ryuichi, Fujii Itsuki left the villa study.

He walked out of the gate and came to the green yard outside. Jiuhuayue and her mother were sitting in the small wooden pavilion.

Jiuhuayue, who was changing the dressing, stood up immediately and trotted over when she saw Fujii Itsuki.

Perhaps it was because the usually pretty and somewhat cold Jiuhuayue had a white gauze wrapped around her face, Fujii Tree couldn't help but smile at the chubby little bird that ran over:
"I'm done talking to your father."

".How is it?" Jiuhuayue was a little worried.

Fujii Itsuki's expression was very calm: "Well, how should I put it? Your father doesn't want me to have any contact with you anymore. As for me, I also think that since you and Jiuhua are going back to Tokyo anyway, there is no point in me having any contact with you anymore. Let's just say goodbye now."

"Don't, don't pass by? What do you mean?"

"It means you don't contact me anymore."

"Uncle, you——"

Jiuhuayue took a step back in fear, until Fujii Itsuki suddenly couldn't hold back his expression, and she suddenly realized that this guy was joking.

“You—! That’s too much! That’s really too much!”

"Haha."

"Hate you! I hate you so much!"

Jiu Huayue was so angry that she wanted to hit him, but her mother was watching behind her, so the girl had to clench her fists and stay where she was, pouting and frowning to express her dissatisfaction.

"It's just a joke. Stop getting so excited. The more you get excited, the more you look like a fat little bird."

"Uncle, do you know what you just said?!"

"It was just a joke."

"It's just a joke to you, but not to me."

Jiu Huayue's voice was choked, and her originally angry expression was about to give out. She looked like she was about to cry, but was holding back and not wanting to cry.

The girl's purple eyes were watery.

It's really heartbreaking to watch.

Ugh.
This girl.

In fact, if you think carefully about what Jiuhua Longyi just said, his attitude towards his daughter
Fujii Itsuki really felt sorry for her.

"Who said she is the daughter of Jiuhua family?"

How could a guy like Jiuhua Longyi put the burden of family revival on the shoulders of such a little girl?

Why don’t you take care of such a beautiful and sensible daughter?

Jiuhua, just be my daughter.

I will take good care of you!

Fujii Tree smiled into Jiuhuayue's eyes and comforted her:
"Don't worry, I will still live here and won't leave."

"real.?"

"real."

".Uncle, you are kidding again, right? My dad hates you so much, how could he agree to let you continue to live here?"

"Don't worry, don't worry. He also told me that he will not restrict you from coming to Otaru to study in high school in the future."

"what?"

"You will be back in Tokyo soon this time, and he won't stop you anymore."

Jiuhuayue couldn't believe that this was actually true.

But the uncle was right in front of her, she could indeed see his smile and hear what he said to her.
Looking at the uncle in front of her, Jiu Huayue felt that it was too dreamy.

My father wouldn't stop me?
If I just leave for a while, will I be able to return to my uncle's side?

There is still hope.

You can also continue to fulfill your promise to the uncle and your new dream!
This is really too dreamy.

Jiuhuayue couldn't believe it.

So much so that the grievances I suffered in the past few days suddenly came to my mind.

At this moment, she couldn't hold back her tears and emotions.

Jiuhuayue rushed over, hugged Fujii Itsuki, and cried hard in his arms.

She is leaving.
She really didn't want to leave the uncle, this good friend who would accompany her to listen to music and watch shark movies every day.

She was reluctant to leave this good friend who gave her a New Year's gift and played guitar for her alone.

She was reluctant to part with this good friend who played the role of her father, her teacher and took care of her at parent-teacher conferences.

The world is so big.
There are so many people in this world.
But it seems that he is the only one in the world who truly cares about himself and pays attention to his hobbies.

Only he can truly enter your heart.

It seemed that only when he was by my side, I wasn't lonely.

Want to chat with him.

I want to go shopping with him.

I want to watch a movie with him.

I want to play musical instruments with him by the Otaru Canal.

I want to play games with him that I have never played before.

Share life, share hobbies, share everything.
All of this is too happy.

And when can I have all of this?
Jiuhuayue once thought about this.

The tears couldn't stop flowing.

"Crying again?"

"Ok!"

"Isn't our little Jiuhua a very strong girl?"

"I, I only act like this in front of you."

I have never been truly loved.
I really want to be truly loved once, even just once, even just for a moment.

Jiu Huayue cried even louder in his arms, and her hands grasped his white shirt tightly.

"Okay, okay, stop crying, stop crying."

The more he spoke, the louder Jiuhuayue cried.

Fujii Itsuki looked up and saw Mrs. Jiuhua looking at him from the small wooden pavilion. He felt very embarrassed, but at the same time, he felt really sorry for the little bird.

His eyes jumped back and forth between Mrs. Jiuhua and Jiuhuayue who was crying in his arms. He really did not know whether to laugh or cry.

He had no choice but to reach out and pat Jiuhuayue's slender and delicate back.

Just like her brother, he gave her a safe haven where she could get comfort and find spiritual rest.

"Don't cry, I'm here, I'm here, it's not like you won't come back in the future, I'm still here waiting, we'll see each other again soon."

".Then.Then you must not leave here. Never."

"Of course! Didn't you hear your father say that I will stay in your house, and you will still be my landlord after you come back."

Fujii Itsuki reached out to wipe away the tears from the girl's eyes, and felt distressed again.

"Don't worry, I really like cleaning the house with Xiao Jiuhua. Remember the first time we cleaned the house, you stood barefoot on my shoulders to clean the windows and almost fell down."

"Yeah. I remember."

"Although I've been busy all day, I feel very alive. And you usually don't like my room, and you always urge me to put away my clothes. Although I always forget, if there is suddenly no one to urge me every morning, I really won't be used to it."

".Then..Then I will continue to urge you like this in the future!"

"Of course!" Fujii Itsuki pushed her shoulders away and smiled at her.

Jiu Huayue wiped her tears and smiled: "Who told you to be so sloppy? You don't like to clean yourself up? You need me to take care of you!"

"Yes, it's because I'm so sloppy that I need a little girl ten years younger than me to supervise me."

"Also, don't call me a little girl."

"Okay then. Big girl?"

"Don't talk about girls"

"That woman?"

"That doesn't sound nice. Uncle, just call me Yue from now on."

"moon?"

"Um"

It can be seen that Jiuhuayue is very shy when she says this.

A girl
That's true, there's nothing wrong with calling her by her last name.

But once someone of the opposite sex calls her by her name, she immediately becomes embarrassed.

This is also a sign of a close relationship.

Fujii Itsuki recalled the day when he pretended to sleep and Xiao Jiuhua secretly held his hand.

她啊
He is so tall and looks so strong.

Deep down, she is indeed a fragile little girl.

Easy to coax and kind.

After Jiuhuayue calmed down, Fujii Shu took her to Mrs. Jiuhua to talk to her for a few words.

What’s strange is that Mrs. Jiuhua didn’t show any special reaction to her daughter crying in her arms.

She didn't say anything more, and didn't even mention Jiuhuayue's crying just now.

Mrs. Jiuhua asked her to take care of Jiuhua Yue when she returned to Otaru to study.
*
Jiuhuayue will leave Otaru with her parents in the evening and take a flight back to Tokyo from New Chitose Airport.

Because they were going to Yang Kui's house for a farewell dinner, Jiuhua Yue had to go back to her room to pack her own luggage, and Fujii Itsuki would have some time to talk to Mrs. Jiuhua.

In the small wooden pavilion, Mrs. Jiuhua made Fujii Itsuki a cup of tea.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Mrs. Jiuhua was well-maintained, with a string of gem pendants on her earlobes. When she smiled, the earrings swayed and sparkled.

"I have a question that I've always wanted to ask you."

"Please tell me."

"Jiuka, you took the initiative to return to Otaru, right?"

"Correct."

"Why would she think that?"

Mrs. Jiuhua fell into memories of the past. After a moment, she replied, "Maybe Xiaoyue is obsessed with the past. This land actually carries a lot of her memories, including her past experiences of playing with Miss Matsumae."

Fujii Itsuki already knew that Jiuhua and Matsumae were playmates. "Did you often take Jiuhua to Matsumae's house in the past?"

"Yes, at that time, Jiuhua and Matsumae had not yet severed their friendship."

".Would it be convenient for me to ask about the reason for the severance of diplomatic relations?"

Mrs. Jiuhua did not shy away from the question, "The most important reason is the head of the Matsumae family, who is also the husband of Long Yi's sister, Matsumae Kitahiro."

Matsumae Kitahiro
This person should be Xinchun’s father.

Professor's husband.

In the past, the professor entered the Matsumae family as a child bride and changed her surname to Matsumae when she was six years old.

Mrs. Jiuhua was very surprised. "I didn't expect Mr. Fujii to know so many old stories."

"I only know the basics. I still have many questions. Mrs. Kuka, would you be willing to tell me more about Kuka and Matsumae's past?"

"Mr. Fujii is curious?"

"Yes, if it's inconvenient, that's fine."

"."

Mrs. Jiuhua folded her hands on her legs in a very elegant posture.

She closed her eyes and thought for a moment, then said:
"It's not a top secret. To be honest, I was also about the same age as Qianqin, and I married into the Jiuhua family and became Longyi's child bride."

".?!"

Fujii Itsuki was shocked.

He realized something.

"Could it be that, Mrs. Jiuhua, your surname used to be Matsumae?"

"Yes."

"Then you——"

"It's just that the blood relationship with the head of the Matsumae family is quite distant, so there's no need to worry about that." Mrs. Jiuhua paused for a moment, then added, "At that time, Ryuichi, Chiqin, and Kitahiro, I, were childhood sweethearts who had played together since we were young, long before our elders arranged our marriages. The four of us have been good playmates since we were young."

and many more!

Mrs. Kuka, Ryuichi Kuka, the professor, and Matsumae's father
Have you been good playmates since childhood?

This is really explosive news.

Mrs. Jiuhua looked a little sad. "But since our respective destinies were arranged at the age of six, everything has changed."

".After that, what happened?"

Mrs. Jiuhua shook her head. "If we were to tell all the stories, it would be too long. Mr. Fujii, you can temporarily understand that we were good friends in the past and best playmates in childhood. Because of our respective destinies and family backgrounds, we eventually parted ways."

It sounds like a very long story.

"It was precisely because of these stories that Jiuhua and Matsumae broke up completely."

"So what was the real reason for the breakup? Was it related to the professor?"

Mrs. Jiuhua nodded, "Mr. Fujii is really perceptive."

"Does this have anything to do with the professor's death—"

"No, Chiqin's car accident was just an accident. But it was also because of this accident that Matsumae Kitahiro became more determined in his decision - to completely sever the thousand-year-long relationship between Jiuhua and Matsumae."

"."

Fujii Itsuki fell into deep thought.

"In other words, the breakup between Jiuhua and Matsumae was actually led by the head of the Matsumae family?"

"Yes."

"I remember that the two families have a long history. Will some of the elders in the Matsumae family agree?"

"It is true that some of the elders in Matsumae still believe that they should maintain contact with the Jiuhua family and help them rebuild their empire, but——"

Mrs. Jiuhua sighed.

"The Jiuhua family has already fallen! Another marriage will do no good to the Matsumae family! In addition, Long Yi's father, Jiuhua Yasuhiro, has exhausted all the remaining assets of the Jiuhua family. Those who should leave have left, those who should disperse have dispersed, and those who should change their surnames have changed their surnames. The Jiuhua family, as a huge family, has already fallen apart!

"Matsumae Kitahiro used this as an excuse and used his status as the head of the family to refute all the elders in the family who insisted on maintaining contact with the Kuka family, and completely severed the thousand-year relationship between Kuka and Matsumae."

sound.
It is a past with many secrets.

"What's the motive? Matsumae Kitahiro has no motive for doing this?"

"not sure."

"Not sure?"

"Bei Guang was arranged to marry and became the head of the family early, so he severed his friendship with Long Yi and me. We only visited each other occasionally. It was fine at that time, but everything changed after Qian Qin left the Songqian family. Long Yi tried to please the Songqian family for a while, but with Bei Guang in the way, it was all in vain."

"."

Fujii Itsuki fell into deep thought.

Matsumae Kitahiro wants to cut off the connection between Jiuhua and Matsumae.

What is the motivation behind this?
I guess Matsumae Shinharu is not aware of this.

It feels like it will be a big secret.

"That's all I can tell you, Mr. Fujii. It's good to be able to help you. My Xiaoyue will need your care in the future."

".Speaking of Jiuhua, I also hope that you and her father can take better care of her in life. She is a child who really needs love."

"It should."

"Ah That's good."

"Also, if you, Mr. Fujii, find out the real reason why Matsumae Kitahiro did this, please tell me a little bit. This will be my reward for telling you all these stories."

"That's no problem." Fujii Itsuki nodded.

Things will be much simpler next.

Jiuhuayue packed her luggage and Fujii Shu took her to Yangkui's house for a big dinner.

Matsumae Shinharu arrived early, and Yang Kui Chitose did not lie and did prepare a sumptuous meal for Jiuhuayue.

There are all kinds of creatures, including those that run around, swim in the sea, and fly in the sky.

And the sushi she carefully wrapped.

This girl is really good at livening up the atmosphere.

"Hey, hey, hey! You can't eat Brother Tree!"

"What's wrong with me?"

"Didn't you hear what the doctor said? Brother Shu can't eat food with too much purine, especially seafood! I specially prepared this for Brother Shu!"

".What is this?" All Fujii Itsuki saw was a pot of soup.

"Deer antler soup! This is a treasure that my father has treasured for many years! Brother Shu, eat it quickly, eat more!"

"."

Did this girl prepare this specially for me?
What's the point of this?
But it looks good. Since it was prepared by my sister, I will eat more.

"that."

"what happened?"

Matsumae Shinchun couldn't help but whisper a reminder. She obviously knew something. "Teacher Fujii should eat less. Just eat in moderation."

Why is this again?
After the farewell dinner, the relationship between Jiuhuayue and Yangkui Chitose has eased a lot, and the same is true with Matsumae Shinchun.
Although there is still a gap between the three of them.

But Fujii Itsuki sincerely felt that the day would come when they would put aside their past grudges and live in harmony.

Fujii Itsuki accompanied Jiuhuayue and her parents to New Chitose Airport.

On the way to Sapporo by train, the child finally felt sleepy and fell asleep on his shoulder.

When Fujii Itsuki saw her peaceful sleeping face, he felt that she was strangely similar to Chitose.

Just let her rely on herself until she reaches her destination.

Finally, Fujii Itsuki sent her to the airport boarding gate.

Such a beautiful little bird is about to leave.

The girl, friend, and student who could cook for me was about to leave.

It is impossible to say that I don't feel sad.

But before leaving, Jiuhuayue was no longer sad and kept smiling.

"Why are you suddenly happy?"

"Because I still have a future!"

In front of the boarding gate, the girl said this with a bright smile.

"By the way, uncle, you can now tell me your answer from this morning. Will you miss me?"

Fujii Itsuki smiled as if it was a matter of course:
"Of course I think about this question. I really want you to come back, Jiuhua, and cook another meal for me."

"Strawberry scrambled eggs?"

"Forget about that!" Fujii Itsuki's face changed, and he changed the subject, "But, it's still quite unique to eat it occasionally."

"Ah."

The security check of Jiuhuayue’s luggage has been completed, and she is just about to enter the waiting room.

"Although I still have a lot to say to you, uncle, I want to say that I will come back, and I still look forward to you waiting for me at my original home, saying welcome home to me. I still have a lot of things in my heart that I want to say! But. Now..."

Fujii Itsuki was curious, "Kuhana, what do you want to say?"

"Nine flowers?"

"Oh, by the way, Yue. Yue, what else do you want to say?"

"I don't want to say anything, I just have to act——"

"Xiao Yue! Let's go!"

At her mother's urging, Jiuhuayue came to Fujii Itsuki at the moment he was stunned, tiptoed, raised her face, closed her eyes, and kissed him.

Fujii Itsuki was stunned.

When he came to his senses, he found that the girl had already walked away and was waving goodbye to him from a distance.

Jiuhuayue smiled as if she had succeeded, and she looked very happy. Her skirt swayed beautifully and gently like the floating clouds in the blue sky of April.

"Uncle! I'm leaving! Don't miss me!"

Looking at the receding figure, Fujii Itsuki reached out to touch his lips.

It was only then that he realized.
My first kiss was quietly taken away by the girl just now.

This girl.?!
