Chapter 146 "Date" (Part )
Fujii Itsuki discovered that young girls of the same age as Jiuhua Chitose all had one thing in common, which was that they had to dress up carefully when going out.

"Why are you working so hard for this?"

Asking a question like this would cause her to show some more small expressions.

"Uncle, you don't understand!"

Fujii Itsuki gave a faint smile to the little fat bird with its puffed up face.

There's nothing I don't understand. It's easy to guess what little girls are thinking.

Fujii Itsuki asked this question just because he wanted to see what Xiao Jiuhua looked like when she was angry. This child was suppressed too much by her family. Most of the time, she lost herself and became like a walking corpse.

The Jiuhuayue with a little temper is the real Jiuhuayue.

so cute.

And afterwards, the child asked himself carefully, "Was my tone a little harsh just now?"

It looked like an apology, but also like he was afraid that I would be angry and ignore her. It was so adorable.

Fujii Itsuki couldn't help but touch his head.

".Please don't rub it like that, it will mess up your freshly styled hair!"

"A combed bird's feathers will be messy, right?"

"Really annoying"

Since we were at the Takarazuka Theater, even though it was Jiuhuayue's exclusive dressing room, there were probably not many clothes she could wear outside.

Xiao Jiuhua spent a long time choosing, but in the end she could only wear the daily clothes she wore when she came here, a gray sleeveless dress with her entire arms exposed.

She was a little dissatisfied.

"Isn't it nice? It looks good."

"But this is too ordinary!" Jiuhuayue secretly glanced at Fujii Itsuki's smiling face, then lowered her head and whispered in a very troubled voice, "Now I don't want to go out with you in such ordinary clothes."

What Xiao Jiuhua said is really——

"Doesn't it sound good?"

"No, I just think that anyone who gets to date you in the future will definitely enjoy going shopping with you."

"Are you praising me?"

"That's it."

Jiuhuayue felt so sweet and happy after hearing his words.

She was so happy, she wanted to say to him right away, "The person I'm dating could be you!"

But Jiuhuayue was so scared.

If I really express this thought and say this sentence.

Will he ignore me?

Will I have to cut off this relationship with myself and choose to distance myself completely from it?
Jiuhuayue was so afraid that she would say something wrong and lead to such consequences.

Is this what it feels like to have a crush on someone?

She only dared to stand beside him like this, secretly looking at him, secretly liking him, secretly admiring him. She really hoped to get closer to him even a little bit by doing something that would make him happy.

I really want to be loved by him.
This will definitely make you happy.

"Ready?"

When Fujii Itsuki saw Jiuhuayue standing beside him like a little bird, he asked her with a smile.

Jiu Huayue didn't know how to respond to the uncle at this time. She could only give him a mischievous smile, then lowered her eyes and nodded shyly:

"Yeah I'm ready."

"Then let's go."

When I walked out of the dressing room with Jiuhuayue, Mrs. Jiuhua was waiting in the corridor.

When Mrs. Jiuhua saw the two of them, she knew something and said with a smile:

"Want to go out?"

"Yes." Fujii Itsuki answered on behalf of Jiuhuayue.

He didn't expect Mrs. Jiuhua to agree. He had already thought of the excuse and wording in advance, but he didn't expect that Mrs. Jiuhua didn't say anything and immediately agreed to let them go out.

"Xiaoyue's performance is over now, so you might as well take her out to relax."

"Madam, you?" Fujii Itsuki was puzzled.

"I'm not as conservative as Long Yi. He has his own ideas and goals, but as his wife, I should support him. I was very sad when he slapped Xiao Yue that day. Perhaps in the eyes of men who still hold old-fashioned ideas, women are just appendages of men."

Mrs. Jiuhua sighed when she said this. She told Jiuhua to say hello to the teachers of the troupe before leaving, and then turned and left.

"Xiao Yue." Fujii Itsuki looked in the direction where Mrs. Jiuhua left.

"Hmm?" Jiu Huayue was still not used to him calling her name. She felt from the bottom of her heart that this was very intimate.

"What do you think of your mother?"

"Mom? Mom. Fortunately, although you made me do many things I didn't want to do, you were really good to me."

Now Fujii Itsuki's doubts were finally resolved.

Why did Jiuhuayue not think of rebelling against her original family after being slapped three times by Jiuhua Longyi, but instead chose to remain silent?

This is totally out of character for Jiuhua.

After all, this child still hopes to have a home that loves her.

Even though this home has become fake, it is still a home.

Jiuhuayue had a say in this family before. As long as she threatened her family with her identity as a Takarazuka actress, she could gain some freedom through a certain degree of compromise.

She didn't do that because she didn't want to leave only threats and compromises between herself and her family.

[You do this to me, but I don't do this to you]
To put it bluntly, this child is too kind at heart.

Fujii Itsuki has always felt that people who are too kind will always suffer.

This is what most people think.

It is for this reason that there are so few people in this world who can still maintain such a heart.

Fujii Itsuki sincerely hopes that Jiuhuayue can live a happy and joyful life.

Fujii Itsuki takes Jiuhuayue out of the theater.

After watching the stage play, it was already evening.

The night breeze is blowing, mixed with the breath of summer.

The streets are lit up with lights, and the crowds alone are enough to prove the prosperity and beauty of Ginza.

Fujii Itsuki looked at the street scene and suddenly smiled.

"Uncle, what are you laughing at?"

"What do you think, Xiaoyue?"

".Very happy?" Jiuhuayue seemed very flustered because Fujii Itsuki called her Xiaoyue again.

"I guess so. Then do you know what makes me happy?"

"unclear"

"I used to work in Tokyo, and Ginza was a place I visited often. It was always like today, with people coming and going, rubbing shoulders with each other, and it never stopped.

"It's very prosperous here, and the neon lights and billboards here are very beautiful and fashionable. But I never feel that this place has anything to do with me. Its prosperity and beauty are things that have nothing to do with me."

"Now..." Jiu Huayue looked at the ends of his hair blown by the night wind.

"Now I don't think so. The prosperity and beauty of Ginza is like a gift box that has not been opened yet, waiting for me to open it."

Jiuhuayue didn't understand what the uncle was saying.

But it sounds so profound, so mature, and so desirable.

An unopened gift box?

Jiuhuayue looked at the street lined with shops of all sizes, then looked at Fujii Itsuki standing next to her, and she seemed to understand.

She, more or less, also felt the beauty of this city.

She had never felt this way before.

What is the reason for this?
"Uncle, where is the place you are talking about?"

"No hurry, let's take a walk first."

After Fujii Itsuki finished answering, as the green light came on, he was about to follow the crowd to the other side, but Jiuhuayue suddenly grabbed his hand.

Fujii Itsuki turned around and saw the child looking uneasy, with her other hand pinching her skirt. She lowered her eyes and said:

".It's not too much for a father to hold his daughter's hand, right?"

Her fingers were delicate and slender, and a little cold. While Fujii Itsuki's fingers felt the softness, he also strangely sensed the lack of security she exuded.

Xiao Jiuhua really looks like a little child at this time.

A child who is afraid that the parents will run away and then asks to hold her hand.

"Don't you find it offensive when I touch you like this?"

"No, I didn't hold it like that at all. I just felt comfortable."

"Even when I first met you, Xiaoyue, I looked disgusted with you. Both my expression and eyes said 'an annoying uncle'."

"You don't like the way I look? I'll change."

"Don't make it hard on yourself because of me. On the contrary, I really like the disgust in your eyes."

"Perverted uncle." "I obviously like to see the most real Jiuhuayue, how can you say I am a pervert? By the way, Xiaoyue, can you give me that disgusted look again?"

"Pervert." Jiu Huayue's voice became smaller and smaller, avoiding the other person's sight.

"And now he should be the perverted father," Fujii Itsuki said with great regret, "It seems that he is gone now. What a pity, let's go, the green light will come again later."

Fujii Itsuki held Jiuhuayue's hand and walked across the zebra crossing to the other end of Ginza.

He took Jiuhuayue through the tree-lined streets and came to Ginza Togoshi Shopping Street.

Fujii Itsuki's purpose was very clear from the beginning.

Let Jiuhuayue experience the life she truly expects, and let her experience her favorite self.

It was only after they arrived at the shopping street and Fujii Itsuki took the initiative to take Jiuhuayue to queue up and bought her milk tea and ice cream that she realized what was going on.

"Huh? You don't like milk tea and ice cream? I thought any little girl would like that."

"Not really!"

Jiuhuayue was holding two things in her hands. She saw the same milk tea and ice cream that Fujii Itsuki had in his hand.

"I just didn't expect that the uncle would come and take me to experience these things"

"This isn't the first time you've eaten these things."

"Of course not, it's just that... no one has ever bought these for me."

Jiu Huayue placed her pink lips on the ice cream and took a sip.

Fujii Itsuki just felt that this scene was extremely strange.

She just took a small bite of food, why do I think she is so cute?
Because she is too beautiful?
As long as a beautiful girl who looks like a big star eats something, it is the best advertisement.

At the same time, Fujii Itsuki also felt that the way she ate the ice cream carefully showed that she cherished this little gift very much.

So I couldn't help but take out my cell phone to take a photo of Jiuhuayue.

It is named "The little white-feathered bird that values ​​food very much".

This feels pretty good.

The outline of the girl's face is set against the bustling pedestrian street, which is really beautiful.

Jiu Huayue is really a big star. All the photos she takes are so photogenic.

He felt that his selfies would always be more embarrassing than reality.

"Why are you taking pictures of me?" The white-feathered bird puffed up his cheeks.

"I think this scene is worth keeping as a souvenir."

".How about you send me the photo too?"

"of course can."

"besides."

"besides?"

"I haven't taken a photo with you alone yet, uncle. We've known each other for such a long time and we're good friends. Can we take a photo together to commemorate the past?"

"You don't have to be so careful with your words, of course."

When Fujii Itsuki saw the ice cream spots on Jiuhuayue's lips, he agreed without thinking.

The atmosphere of Ginza Pedestrian Street is quite suitable for taking photos.

It only took them a moment to get the angle right for the photo.

"This isn't just a casual photo shoot, uncle, be careful!"

"How can this be serious? I am serious, okay."

"Do this and that, and get your moves ready."

"Oh"

Fujii Itsuki doesn't know how to take pictures anyway, so just leave it to the girls.

He followed Jiuhua's instructions, holding the phone in his left hand and squeezing the ice cream in his right hand. The two put their heads close together, then placed the ice cream in front of each other's faces and pointed them at the camera.

Jiuhuayue is very tall, so the movement of her head is very suitable for her.

Anyway, Fujii Itsuki felt that he and Chitose would never be able to take such a photo.

She must squat down, or she must stand on the stone.

".Why does this pose look so much like a couple photo?"

“No, no way! Can we take photos like this between friends?” Jiu Huayue was very anxious and looked a little scared.

"Oh, that's fine. I want to laugh, do you want to make me laugh?"

"can!"

"Row."

The two posed for photos near the milk tea shop.

Fujii Itsuki flipped the camera of his phone and held it up.

"Be ready."

"Wait, wait a minute!"

The moment Jiuhuayue raised his phone, she saw that her face in the camera was still a calico cat.

She panicked and wanted to wipe it clean immediately, but Fujii Itsuki had already pressed the shutter button of her cell phone camera.

With a click, time freezes.

When Fujii Itsuki opened the camera photos, he immediately laughed.

"Give it to me! Let me see it too!"

"No, look at it."

Jiu Huayue took a look at the photo and discovered that her eyes were blocked because of the movement she made at that moment.

Because his face was lowered a little, it looked like he was wiping away tears.

There's nothing wrong with this.

But the uncle sitting right next to her was still holding his cell phone and ice cream and smiling.

It's like he was happy even though he bullied himself and made him cry!
"Eh? Xiaoyue, what do you want to do?"

"No, no! Delete it, delete it now! Reshoot it!"

Fujii Itsuki took another look at the album and couldn't help laughing: "Isn't this good? Look, the crying Jiuhuayue is so cute."

"I can't do this."

"I think it's good. All right. After taking the pictures, let's continue walking."

Fujii Itsuki picked up the milk tea on the stool behind him and walked forward without saying a word.

Jiu Huayue hurriedly followed him and asked him to retake the shot, feeling aggrieved and sad.

But Fujii Itsuki just refused, saying that this was good and that Jiuhuayue was very cute like this.

Jiu Huayue was completely unable to persuade him and had to compromise.

".Then, then you can send the photos over, that should be okay, right?"

"This works."

Fujii Itsuki casually sent the photo and started waiting for the traffic light again.

Jiuhuayue was still a little angry at this time. After all, why did she look so ugly in the photo? She obviously wanted to take a serious photo of the two of them as a souvenir.

But when she opened the photo sent by Fujii Itsuki on Line and took a closer look, she thought it was very, very good.

The corners of her mouth were stained by ice cream, and she covered her eyes as if she was crying. Then the uncle was next to her, and he made a "Yeah!" gesture to the camera with a gloating look on his face.

Although it's not that formal.

But it seems that it is so cute
Jiu Huayue held the phone in both hands and looked at the photo. Looking at the uncle in the photo and herself next to the uncle, she couldn't help but express her love for the photo.

She silently set the photo as her phone wallpaper, and then looked at the photo of the two of them with a silly smile filled with love.

"Huh? What are you looking at? The light is green, why don't you go?"

"No! It's nothing!"

"Are you looking at the photo just now? Do you think it's good?"

“I don’t like it that much.”

"Tough talk."

"I'm not being stubborn."

"Okay," Fujii Itsuki smiled, "Let's go! Otherwise, we'll waste all our time waiting for traffic lights today."

Fujii Itsuki stepped forward, and Jiuhuayue quickly followed behind him.

When crossing the zebra crossing with the crowd around them, Jiu Huayue once again took the initiative to hold his hand.

Fujii Itsuki just glanced at the girl and didn't say much.

Jiuhuayue was beside him, muttering quietly about the conversation just now.

It's not about being hard-mouthed.
I don't like that photo.
is love.

Jiuhuayue subconsciously held his hand tighter.
