If there is anything that Tianhai Maodian values in this life, it is self-cultivation.
Whether it is dealing with people or things, good cultivation will surely enable people to make the right choices rationally.
In his cultivation, what Amami Madenori hates most is resorting to violence.
Domestic violence is even more despicable to him.
So.
When Amami Shimonori heard Kanbaru Raku in front of him say these words to him, the first thing he thought about was to suppress the anger rising in his heart.
Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it.
Because he understands that good self-cultivation can enable people to survive in the most extreme situations——
Snap!
Tianhai Maodian slapped him angrily:
"Do you know what the fuck you're talking about?!"
"I know."
Snap!
Another slap.
This loud sound can be clearly heard by everyone standing in this ward.
My mother, Tianhai Meihe, couldn't bear to look at her, and Tianhai Qimingyue looked straight at her.
Tianhai Jiuliuli, who was sitting on the hospital bed behind Tianhai Maodian, was even startled by her father's loud slap.
But Kambara's gaze never evaded from beginning to end.
Tianhai Maodian retracted his hand and clenched his fists. Although the anger in his heart could be clearly felt, from the perspective of others, it seemed that he had suppressed all his emotions at this moment. He showed a stronger expression than usual in Tianhai Qimingyue.
Even more emotionless and cold expression.
He looked straight at Kamara Raku, who was almost as tall as him:
"It seems that you still think you are justified?"
"I never felt I was justified."
"Then how dare you say such stupid things?"
Uncle is indeed angry, and his face is burning with pain from being slapped.
But this is inevitable.
Kanbaru did not feel angry about being slapped by his uncle. On the contrary, he felt that this was something he should bear.
Hit!
More shots! Well done!
Why shouldn't the scumbag be beaten?
If it were him, if a brat suddenly came up and said, "I picked up two of your daughters!", Kanbaru Raku didn't beat him to death on the spot. Shen Tokyo Bay is just because of his good temper.
However, if the identity is changed, and Kagura is in the same situation, he has to fight hard even if he bites the bullet.
"Uncle, because this is what I think."
Snap!
Amami Madenori slapped him again with an expressionless face, "Do you want to listen to what you said?"
Kagura's face returned to normal, with the same expression as before, "I understand."
Snap!
Another slap.
"Do you think you're cool?"
"...Totally outrageous."
"Do you think you are qualified to tell me that you like both of them at the same time?"
"In terms of status, not yet."
"You know this yourself, but you still have the nerve to tell me that you like my two daughters? Are they willing?"
"I don't want to."
"In this case, you still want to tell me what you just said?"
"Yes, because I have already said those words. I know that I am unreasonable, and it is even more feeble to explain my love to you. But I still will not take back what I just said."
Snap!
Tianhai Maodian closed his eyes and slapped him again.
There is already a trace of swelling visible on Kanbaru's face.
Amami Madenori put down his hand, "You now understand what you did, but you still don't intend to change it. Then I can only classify it as stubborn indifference that cannot be preached."
"Uncle is right."
"It's not that I mean to humiliate you, but what you are saying now is too absurd. It's absurd for Liuli, it's absurd for Qiyue, it's even more absurd for your mother, and it's even more absurd for me." p>
"I understand."
"Let me ask you again, can you take back what you just said?"
"Not taken back."
"Very good, very good."
Snap——
Snap——
Snap——
Kagura Raku did not move his eyes during the whole process, and always faced the slap in a face-to-face manner.
Even if the corners of his mouth bleed and his ears bleed, he has not changed at all.
"Ale..." Amami Miwa sighed inwardly when she saw her son persisting like this. She didn't stop him because she didn't think Amami Madenori's behavior at this time was wrong.
"Can you take back what you said?"
"I'm sorry, uncle, that's what I had in mind."
"Have you ever thought about changing it?"
"No."
"It seems you haven't suffered yet."
The slaps continue.
Snap——
Snap——
Snap——
His cheeks began to turn red, with blood oozing out from them. Kanbaru Raku still did not change his statement and averted his gaze.
Tianhai Qimingyue felt very uncomfortable hearing this, and it was even more unpleasant when she saw Kan Yuanle trembling from being slapped and bleeding from the corner of her mouth.
Looking at Tianhai Jiuliuli again, sister...has turned her head to the other side, holding the quilt in her hands. It's hard to tell what she's thinking from her back.
Why...brother doesn't tell everything?
Why doesn’t my brother blame some of the blame on himself?
Amami Qimingyue knows very well that the biggest reason why Kambara Raku said these words is because she is involved in the relationship between him and his sister.
If he didn't get involved and chose to give up, he wouldn't have to say such bastard words now, and he wouldn't have to face such a harsh slap from his father.
"That's enough..."
The slaps continue.
Snap, snap, snap.
"That's enough..."
There is no stopping.
"Dad, that's enough."
Only then did Amami Madenori stop his movements. He took a breath and saw Kanbaru Raku's expression remained unchanged and his eyes moved slightly. He was quiet for a long time, until he suddenly felt his palms trembling slightly in mid-air.
He finally vomited it out and sighed:
"Are you going to plead for him in July?"
"Yes."
"How are you going to convince me?"
"I can't convince you, Dad. I don't think you are wrong, Dad, but I can't stand it anymore."
"You have to use reason to plead for mercy, or do you want me to use this to plead for him for the sake of our relationship as father and daughter?"
"Yes."
Tianhai Maodian looked into his second daughter's sky-blue eyes and was silent for a moment.
This is the first time that July has come to plead with him as his daughter.
He couldn't help but feel that this was a bit ridiculous and ridiculous.
The first time his daughter used her identity to plead with herself, it was for such an unreasonable thing.
He suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
In other words, things that have been understood for a long time but have not been mentioned have resurfaced.
Kambara is more important in her mind.
Kanbaru spoke at this time: "I wonder if uncle can let me say a few words at this time?"
Tianhai Maodian looked over, "What do you want to say? Or do you want to explain something to me?"
"In my opinion, my uncle is actually not qualified to stand here and criticize what I just said."
"Interesting. Why do you say I'm not qualified? If you're not convinced, why are you willing to stand there and let me fight?"
"Because the beating I received was because I felt sorry for Liuli, not because of what I said just now. Does your uncle know the reason why both Qiyue and Liuli chose to like me?"
"Is this important?"
"Of course this is important," Kanbaru said seriously, emphasizing his tone, "If it weren't for this important reason, Liuli and Qiyue wouldn't waste time on me at all, and they wouldn't waste so much time on a useless person like me. But why, why do the two sisters still fight against each other even though they know that they both like me?
Isn’t this kind of thing ridiculous?”
Tianhai Maodian fell into thinking: "..."
Kanbaru welcomed the moment of silence to his uncle, endured the pain on his face, and continued talking.
"Qi Qi fell in love with me when she was a child, at a rural bus stop. I remembered what happened before, so now I remember what Qi looked like at that time. She was only five years old at that time. Five years old!
A person, a little girl, sat alone at a rural bus stop on a rainy day.
She was alone, her legs were injured, her skirt was dirty, and she sat there waiting for several hours.
What is she waiting for?
She is waiting for her mother to come to her.
But what’s the result?
The result was that she was injured there, and no one looked for her after sitting there all day.
Liuli really fell in love with me recently, half a year ago.
I also clearly remember what Liuli looked like at that time.
She hugged her legs alone, crying and squatting on the edge of the flower bed. Her mother directly said to her that she was not treated as a daughter at all. Her persistence for more than ten years was just
The idea of getting some attention from my mother was rejected like this.
And at the most critical moment like this, where is uncle?
Uncle, have you fulfilled your responsibility as a father to protect them?
Could it be that uncle, you have always focused on work, which is why they are so dependent on me in life?
I cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner for them together;
I go shopping with them to buy spring, summer, autumn and winter clothes;
I study with them for homework;
I traveled with them on their birthday;
I accompanied them to the opening ceremony;
Even at the school's parent-teacher conference, I, as the elder brother, attended on your uncle's behalf.
I admit, I don’t have as outstanding a net worth as you, uncle.
I don’t have the working ability like you, uncle.
But no matter what my future prospects are, I definitely have a way to satisfy their affection and care in life.
And it just so happens that these are all the missing parts of you, uncle.
It is the most important part of their lives.
As a father, of course you have the right to slap me for that sentence, which is as it should be.
But as a father, you are not qualified to completely deny me on that sentence.
It’s because I took care of them that I like them.
Uncle, you may ask, what does what I said have to do with that sentence? Isn’t it better if I just choose one?
But how can the matter between Qiyue and Liuli and I be explained clearly in one sentence?"
......
Having said this, Kanbaru spent a lot of time explaining to his uncle the emotional entanglements between himself, Liuli and Qiyue, and the various incidents he had experienced.
After listening, even Tianhai Maodian couldn't help but frown.
Why do the three people's emotional experiences sound so many times richer than their own?
How did the three people's emotions come together in a circle?
Kanbaru continued:
"If I give up July on my own initiative, won't July be sad?
She persisted for more than ten years for my promise.
If I gave up Liuli on my own initiative, wouldn’t Liuli be sad?
Because of my encouragement, she was willing to believe in me unconditionally.
I also want to choose just one of them!
But the reality is that as long as I choose one, whether it is Qiyue or Liuli, they will not be willing to accept it.
I want to completely cut off the relationship with them, but I can't do it because of my status as step-siblings.
Can I be happy while enduring to see the other one of them sad in the corner?
Not to mention that Qi Qi was so proactive, helped me so much, and was hurt by me so many times...
I'm in the middle and it's hard for me too.
I always feel guilty when I come into contact with different people.
But what can be done?
I don’t want to bring a bad mood to them when I face them, so I always pretend to be fine.
During that time, I was always in pain and confused.
Caught in the middle between them, I don’t know how to make a decision or how to choose.
If it were you, uncle, what would you choose?
——In order not to let this situation continue.
That’s why I came up with the idea I have now, confessed to Jiuliuli about me and Qiyue, and confessed to uncle about what happened between us!
I know that these things cannot be put on the table, but these feelings are the confidence that I have received dozens of slaps from you, uncle, but I have not changed my mind at all.
I like them and the warmth they bring to my life. Compared with my uncle who is busy at work all day long, I believe I can take better care of them and not let them spend every night before meeting me.
They were all holding instant lunchboxes and eating cold meals in an empty room."
......
Kanbaru spoke these words in one breath, feeling a little out of breath from exhaustion.
He knew there were some loopholes in these words.
I haven't made the two sisters feel happy at the same time.
There was even a time when Jiuliuli's feelings exploded because she was too straightforward.
But these are all roads that must be taken. If there is no inner journey, there will be no growth.
——Even though he made many mistakes and made many mistakes, compared to his father-in-law who has not made any changes for more than ten years, today's Kambara has always wanted to stick to his inner thoughts and constantly correct his mistakes.
.
I am a scumbag, but I still have to be magnanimous.
This is something that Kanhara Raku has thought clearly over the past two months.
This is also the point of view that Kanbaru wants to express to his uncle.
......
After listening to his words word for word, Tianhai Maodian fell into silence.
Because... it’s complicated, too complicated.
He didn't know what exactly happened between them, but this complicated relationship would definitely make Xiaole feel uncomfortable being caught between the sisters.
...No wonder Xiao Le dared to say this to herself.
It turns out they were all forced out.
——As for myself, what Xiaole said is not wrong.
In the past ten years or so, I have neglected my duty as a father in the lives of my children.
This indirectly led to the lack of emotion between the two sisters, causing them to need to rely more on others.
It also led to the woman Hekeya using Liuli many times...
Dereliction of duty, indeed dereliction of duty.
Xiao Le’s words are not lies, but are sincere.
This made Tianhai Maodian recognize his thoughts and feel that what he just said to himself was not rootless.
Only when he has the confidence to say this to himself.
I also blame myself for not taking good care of their sisters since they were young...
Tianhai Maodian sighed:
"I understand... I don't deny what you said, but it doesn't mean that as a father, I will agree with it, let alone that the two of them are not willing to surrender and follow you. At the moment, your behavior has also caused Liuli to be hurt. This is
Isn’t that true?”
"Yes, I don't deny this."
Amami Shimonori did not ask Kanbaru Raku to apologize to Liuli, but said to him directly: "Since you have the consciousness to say those ridiculous words to me just now, you should have thought about the corresponding consequences that you will accept."
"...Natural."
"You all like them, right? They all like you too?"
"Like."
"I like it very much, right?"
"Uncle, I guarantee this."
"Okay," Tianhai Maodian looked away from him and turned to his two daughters, "Qiyue, Liuli, you two will move back to Tianhai's house for me. Your rooms will also be far apart.
OK, Liuli will live in her own room, and Qiyue will live in your aunt's room. Take this opportunity to calm down."
"What——" Tianhai Jiuliuli didn't expect this development at all.
"I don't agree." Tianhai Qimingyue completely disagrees.
"No objections allowed!"
Amami Madenori's tone was serious and left no room for doubt, "If I don't separate you, do you plan to come back to me to raise such a ridiculous thing? Although I generally understand how the three of you feel, but from my perspective
, I cannot accept your current relationship. You guys need to understand the seriousness of this matter and calm down so that you can know how to learn to handle your relationship well."
"..."
"..."
Dad is very angry and no one can persuade him.
"Qiyue, Liuli..." Tianhai Mihe also advised from the side, "It is indeed A Le who has done something sorry for you this time. I apologize to you on his behalf. Everyone needs to calm down."
"..."
"As for you, Xiaole... Originally, I had always planned to let you choose your own relationship... Now it seems that I made a mistake."
Amami Shigenori paused briefly, looked at Amami Miwa, then withdrew his gaze and fell on Kanbaru Raku's face again:
"You don't have time to rest these days. You come to my office as soon as school is over."
"Office?"
"No need to ask."
Although Kanbaru was confused, he nodded and agreed.
The uncle's matter has come to an end for the time being.
His uncle's attitude was still a bit unpredictable to Kamigahara, but he didn't expect to get his support in the first place. He brought these things up on the scene just because he didn't want to escape all the time.
Liuli just pushed the boat along, speeding things up so that her uncle knew everything
After his uncle and mother confirmed that Liuli's injury was indeed nothing serious, they left the ward. Kanbaru Raku quickly went to find a doctor to help treat the injury on her face. Her father-in-law was not gentle at all. p>
In the ward, only Tianhai Qimingyue and Tianhai Jiuliuli looked at each other again.
"It seems that my sister is still one step behind in chess."
"One move away? It's just that dad's decision was a bit unexpected."
"Sister, it seems that something has changed."
Tianhai Jiuliuli smiled: "Really? I am still the same Jiuliuli, your twin sister, Qiyue."
