Chapter 126 After the Disagreement
As expected, Chen Ling did not deceive Hayami Aiyi. None of the dishes served today were very popular, except for the tomato salad.

"Wow, can even big tomatoes be eaten raw?"

Hayami Aiyi's eyes seemed a little doubtful about the practicality of this method, but the color and the aroma of the tomatoes themselves were alluring and irresistible.

She is a tomato lover.

"If you get food poisoning, come see me."

Chen Ling gave himself a slice of tomato dipped in sugar. This bowl was specially put in the refrigerator. It tasted sour, sweet and cool, which was very refreshing.

When the little girl saw her best friend, she picked up the chopsticks very naturally, swallowed her saliva, and gave up.

The cold tomato tastes sour and sweet in your mouth, which is very refreshing.

The food cooking methods from the mysterious East are truly breathtaking.

Some other dishes are less spicy, such as shredded potatoes and pork, stir-fried snow peas, garlic baby cabbage...

For the vast majority of Neon students, it is indeed rare to get a university degree.

"Be good, I also want to experience the feeling of washing dishes after a meal sometimes."

I have seen that little sister’s life is really colorful.

Gee, I always feel a rather strange sense of immorality.

This new type of title sounds pretty cool, and Rika doesn't seem to have any objections to it.

Hayajian became a little hesitant to speak. After all, Lixiang didn't reply, but this kind of thing was very important. Chen Ling understood her current mood very well, and he was very grateful to her for being his scapegoat.

The eldest lady glanced at him and didn't respond. Instead, she left Chen Ling. She took out two bottles of ice cola from the refrigerator, went to the living room, and gave one to the little girl.

While washing the dishes, I focused on the living room and listened to the chat between the two active-duty JKs. In the end, they didn't actually talk much. Basically, Hayajian Aiyi's unilateral output was about what he did during the summer vacation. The reason why I didn't go to their concert was that I went back to my hometown and met Xiantounan while chatting online. Someone in school quietly and anonymously confessed to her, but was rejected.

"Or, we can get admitted to a university in the same city? Although my grades are not as good as Rika-chan's, but in the same city, maybe we can do it."

happy.

“Poor hospitality.”

"By the way, in the second week after school starts, there will be a tripartite meeting. It will almost be decided on the future approach. Rika-chan. Do you have any ideas?"

Chen Ling will never forget the confession from her.

"It's hard for her to come here during the summer vacation. Rika should go and chat with her."

"As expected, should I go to a music university? With Rika-chan's grades, it should be fine."

Chen Ling said softly like coaxing a child, it would be better if there was a lollipop in his hand.

Gee, your tone is really lonely. It’s not like you can’t keep in touch after you go to college. It’s just that after you go your separate ways, the frequency of contact will inevitably be much less, and we will gradually become strangers to each other. Chen Lingshen He knows this truth, he has been through it.

Chen Ling was very happy that she could be so carefree now.

The black-haired girl didn't move, looking reluctant.

Chen Ling glanced back and found that the little girl was back on the sofa in the living room and playing with her mobile phone.

Her voice was colorless and she simply stated the facts.

"It's Ling, not 0. The pronunciation should be more standard."

The eldest lady didn't reply. Of course Chen Ling knew what she was hesitating about.

Chen Ling's family likes to brag and spank at the dinner table, which is different from the Neon people.

Chen Ling put the dishes and chopsticks into the sink while correcting the little girl's pronunciation.

What about mine?

Hey, it’s not you who cooked the food, why are you answering for me?

What are you doing, obsessive-compulsive disorder?

"I agree too."

This is the response of my eldest lady.

The two were silent for a while.

Rika Shona took a sip of iced coke and pursed her lips.

"So full~ Brother Ling's cooking skills are really eye-opening. The last time was too spicy. My mouth was full of spicy food and I couldn't taste the food at all."

"Rika-chan, after this semester starts, we will only be in the same school for less than half a year."

"Well, actually, with Rika-chan's family background, any choice is possible, but I think that going to college is a rare opportunity in itself."

"Ah."

Even Hayami Aiyi, who talks a lot, is relatively quiet when eating. He is not like Chen Ling, who talks non-stop and asks others (rika) to answer him.

“The other option is to graduate directly.”

Under Rika's gaze, he quickly came over, gently kissed the corner of the eldest lady's lips, and then returned to his original position pretending to be nonchalant.

Rika Wakina got up and went to the sink, preparing to wash the dishes after meals according to the previous division of labor, but was sent away by Chen Ling.

"Well~ Well~ Brother Ling, don't always worry about pronunciation."

Chen Ling, who was in front of the sink, suddenly made a sound, attracting the attention of little Taimei Zaojian.

"Brother Ling is really slow at washing dishes."

I just listened to the two of you chatting.

"Haha, it's coming soon."

There are still a few dishes to wash.

"I have a reason to hurry up."

Rika's answer confused the little girl.

"Rika-chan, are you talking about the job of a singer?"

The black-haired girl nodded.

"soga"

Hayami observed Lixiang's expression, and the other party had no intention of continuing. It seemed that she didn't want to say the reason.

The conversation suddenly entered a relatively silent atmosphere until Chen Ling dried his hands, took out a can of Coke from the refrigerator, came to the living room and sat next to Rika.

'Why don't you talk anymore? 'Only a fool would say something like this.

The little girl didn't continue the conversation, probably because she didn't want to involve Rika's personal privacy too much.

After Chen Ling came over, he saw Aiyi early and had the opportunity to change the topic.

"Rin Onisan, I heard that you are going to sing a duet with Rika-chan this time. Are you good at singing?"

?

Who are you and why are you asking this question?
This shouldn't be the style of little boss Shui Wu.

"Of course, speaking of it, I was the vocal coach for Rika at the beginning."

Although he was eliminated later.

"Hey, is that so?"

The black-haired girl glanced at Chen Ling and nodded.

"Big brother is so awesome!"

"Sodayo."

Who doesn’t know how to pretend to be 13?

There is no night version of Hayami Ai today. She came without clothes and had already promised her mother to go home.

"Rika-chan, let's meet after school starts~"

"Well, be careful."

"knew."

The eldest lady walked the little girl to the door. After she left, there were only two people and a cat left in the house.

Chen Ling picked up the Coke can that had already been used by Ai Yi and weighed it. Oops, he drank it all. It was quite easy.

Consciously taking the advanced Japanese textbook from the bookcase and opening the book, some of the grammar in it began to invade Chen Ling's mind, a feeling he had not seen for a long time.

Rika Watana sat opposite him and read comics. She was sitting next to him before, but after realizing that Chen Ling would glance at the comics from time to time, which was less efficient, she sat back in her original position.

During the summer vacation, two concerts were held at high intensity. Now it is rare for the eldest lady to have time to rest, so the vocal lessons were temporarily suspended for one day.

The black-haired girl was reading the comics, and Chen Ling was looking at her. The girl's current posture was no longer as rigid and regular as before. Unknowingly, it became more casual, with a relaxed posture, and her eyes were staring at the writing, dark brown. Her eyes are slightly raised, her eyelashes are thick, and the distance between her eyebrows is just right.

The facial features are not that delicate, but they are majestic and delicate.

Chen Ling likes Rika's eyes the most. No matter how hard to guess her facial expressions, her eyes are the only one that will not confuse him.

"Ling, what are you looking at?"

Still so sharp.

"Look at you."

"Hmm, Ling, do you think I'm pretty?"

When she looks at him, a small burst of joy will always surge out of his heart. "Objectively and subjectively, impeccable."

"Grumpy."

It seemed that she saw a smile in her eyes.

"I'm just telling the truth."

Chen Ling shrugged, pretending to be natural and put his hand on the back of Rika's hand on the table.

How can you make your hands warm?
"Ling, you have something to say."

Can't this kind of heartwarming moment last for a little longer?

"Just now..."

"What do you think I should choose?"

She looked into Chen Ling's eyes, and the words that came out of her mouth fell on Chen Ling's heart one by one.

Chen Ling suppressed a smile, put his hand on the back of the girl's hand and squeezed her into his palm with a little force.

"It's up to you, Rika, to make your own decision. No matter what you plan, I will support you unconditionally."

Rika watched his eyelids droop a little.

"Is that all?"

But I told the truth.

"...In my personal opinion, there will be a lot more free time in college, and Rika-chan can have more time to do her own things."

“But it’s not as good as dedicating yourself to your career.”

She blinked, her voice flat.

Chen Ling opened his mouth and was silent for a moment.

"No comment, but I think college life...maybe also an experience that needs to be cherished in life. As you know Rika, I also graduated from college."

"Ah."

She continued to respond.

Chen Ling could tell that the eldest lady currently preferred to develop her career directly after graduation.

"Preparing for higher education requires sacrificing time, which will last up to half a year until February next year."

The hand curled up in Chen Ling's palm was very gentle and motionless, but the girl analyzed the situation she was facing, her expression barely changed, and she seemed to be absolutely rational about this matter.

"So you want to sacrifice the next four years to gain the power to fight against the family?"

Chen Ling's voice felt a little louder.

“Advancing to higher education is not necessarily as good as direct development.”

The softer Rika's voice became, the stronger the restless feeling in his heart became.

"This is a fact...but do people need to remain absolutely rational and objective at all times?"

Faced with Chen Ling's sudden "question", Rika Shona seemed a little surprised, with a complicated look on her face.

"Sorry, Ling. I just want to have the ability to control my own destiny as soon as possible."

The soft voice made Chen Ling's heart tremble.

Holding Rika's hand unconsciously, I used a little strength.

"Human youth is limited. This is what you said, Rika, right?"

Chen Ling tried his best to calm down the impulse in his heart and recalled what the black-haired girl said at the beach.

"Well, when I was in junior high school, I knew on that beach that I was going to have a business marriage in the future."

Rika looked at Chen Ling, who didn't know what expression to show, and smiled, like a ray of light shining into the dust from the layers of gray-black clouds.

It gave him a sudden urge to cry.

"Ling, I want to control my own destiny more than anyone else. Even if I sacrifice part of my youth for this, everything is worth it. At least I will have a future."

The serious tone of Jina Lixiang aroused Chen Ling's strong emotional outpouring.

"But don't you want to go to higher school?"

The black-haired girl's expression was a little dazed. She opened her lips slightly, but she didn't know what to say.

"Hokkaido University, are you very interested in visiting?"

Chen Ling's rhetorical question left her speechless. She was indeed very interested in college back then, and she is still the same now.

"Don't you yearn for the friendship in the university dormitory? Don't you want to try all the dishes in the school canteen? Don't you want to experience the excitement of sneaking out of the school after the dormitory gate is locked at night? There are also university clubs."

Chen Ling was a little excited. He was not very good at Japanese. He was speechless and couldn't organize his words well.

".In short, I think the choice Rika is going to make is against your own wishes."

Take a deep breath and look into the girl's eyes. He didn't know what his expression was now, was he angry or sad?

never mind.

"But."

"It's not that much! At least rely on me again. I don't want any part of your youth to be missing. Rika has the right to be willful. I can handle the rest of the matter."

Chen Ling had long since awakened and turned the tide on his own.

He must do it, no matter how hard it is.

The black-haired girl and Chen Ling stared at each other for a while, then sighed.

"Then, how can Ling maintain the heat by himself?"

Being able to say such words, Chen Ling knew that he had finally moved his eldest daughter, and felt as if he had eaten a bite of iced watermelon.

However, if Rika sincerely does not want to go to college, Chen Ling will not express any opinions and will only support her.

"Of course, Nanye Ling makes his grand debut!"

Miss Rika blinked.

".What's your expression?"

"No, just surprised."

"Rika thinks I'm not strong enough?"

The girl shook her head and said, "A reasonable solution."

That's more or less.

"This matter ends here."

".oh."

You mean there are other topics?

Well, technically this was the first time he and Lixiang had quarreled, but actually he was still a little unhappy.

"By the way, do I still need to go to the three-party talks?"

"Am I enough for this kind of thing, or do you want me to show off to you again?"

Rika-chan's eyes flickered, half-smiling but not smiling.

I am super.

"Forget it then."

The black-haired girl nodded.

"Ling, let me ask you a question."

"Nani?"

She stared at Chen Ling's face and asked, "What part of my face do you like best?"

"???"

Chen Ling pondered for a moment and came up with the answer: "Eyes."

"really."

The next moment, Rika Shona came over.

Getting closer and closer, so close that Chen Ling couldn't help but close his eyes. (Because of physiological reflex)

What is this for?
Immediately afterwards, a soft and warm touch came to his right eye, causing his mind to enter new chaos.

It was gone at the first touch, and there was a cool feeling on the eyelids.

"Eh?"

Rika Watana stretched out a little tip of her tongue and licked her lips.

"This is a reward, an advance for the efforts Ling will put in later."

Why are you so good at it? Have you had any special training?
Chen Ling thought for a while and began to care about whether there was oil on his eyelids just now.
