Keiichi was on the phone again.It was Yuri who called.The mother's anxious face appeared in front of his eyes, and Kyohei couldn't help but start to become melancholy. "What can I do? He said he wants to stay here for one more day... how do I know his homework... I don't care, you tell him... well, I'll give him the phone." Jing Jing handed over the phone To Gongping, "Your mother called and said she wanted to ask you something." Gongping took the phone impatiently.Gongping felt a little annoyed that his father couldn't even speak clearly. "Hey."

"What's going on?" Yuri's sharp voice immediately rang in his ears, "Didn't you explain everything to the police? Then why don't you come here? What are you doing there?" Yuri's loud voice kept talking like a cannonball, and Kyohei couldn't help but put the phone away from his ear a little bit. "I still have homework to do." Gongping said timidly. "Homework? What, why don't you just come here and do it?" "No. Someone taught me how to do it." "Who is it?" Yuri asked. What are you asking so much for? It's really annoying.Gongping felt a little tired.

"A man I met in my uncle's hotel. A college teacher." "Teacher? Why does he want to teach you homework?" "Well... Once I told him about my homework, he said he would teach me to do it. Now he lives in the same hotel as us. But he is not here now, and he said he would come back at night." "Oh?" There was a hint of doubt in Yuri's voice, "Does he have to teach you? Doesn't your father know? Mom, I will help you too? Isn't that how you complete every vacation homework? ?" "He told me that it's not okay, you have to do it yourself."

Yuri was silent for a moment.Perhaps it was because her son was right that she couldn't think of what to say for a while. "Okay, I see. You give your dad the phone." Gong Ping handed the phone to Jing Yi, opened the glass door, and walked onto the balcony.The swimming pool is just under the balcony.Kyohei looked around, but couldn't see Yukawa.It is already past three o'clock in the afternoon. When the person at the front desk said that Tang Chuan would come back at night, Gongping had already given up.However, when he returned to the room and began to pack his things, he once again had the idea of ​​wanting to see Yu Chuan again for the last time.He still has something to say to Tang Chuan.Therefore, Gongping begged Jingyi, saying that he would stay here for another night.

Although Gongping didn't make it clear why he wanted to stay one more night, Jingyi agreed to his request without hesitation.Perhaps, Jingyi already understood that since his son said so, there must be his own reasons. Jingyi hung up the phone.From the looks of it, Yuri seemed to agree. "Speaking of which, we have to go back tomorrow afternoon, okay?" Kyohei nodded after hearing what his father said. Just now, he assured his mother on the phone that Gongping would not let go of it immediately to play.He sat down at the table in the room and started to do his homework.To be honest, Gongping is not in the mood to play at the moment.Right now, he feels bored no matter what he does.

"Father, I'll go to the police to find out about your uncle and the others. But I don't know if the police will tell me." After speaking, Jingyi left the room. A little after six o'clock at night, Jing Yi came back. "I didn't find out anything. I pestered them for a while, but they refused to say anything. There's no way, my trip was wasted." Gongping also had no results here.His mind was so full of other things that he couldn't calm down and do his homework. The father and son went down to the first floor and were going to have dinner in the dining room.Gong Ping ordered a deep-fried prawn.This is his usual favorite.On the plate brought by the waiter, there were three big shrimps.

Squeak—bang!A familiar voice came from outside the house, and Gongping turned his head to look at the seaside. "Fireworks?" Jingyi said, "It seems that someone is setting off fireworks by the seaside." No, those were climbing fireworks, not high-altitude fireworks——as soon as the words came to his lips, the events of that night revived in Gongping's mind again.For a moment, Kyohei felt as if something was blocking his throat.The thing was as heavy as a shot put, and it grabbed his heart heavily. Gongping shook his head, put down the knife and fork in his hand.He couldn't even eat his favorite deep-fried prawns.

"What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?" Jingyi asked. Gongping shook his head: "No. I'm just full." "I am full……?" At this moment, Gongping saw Yu Chuan passing by outside the restaurant.Kyohei jumped off the chair, yelled "Doctor", and rushed towards Yukawa. Yu Chuan stopped and looked back.Seeing Kyohei, Yu Chuan showed a trace of confusion on his face, but then his expression eased down. "It's you? Have you left yet?" "Doctor, I don't know what to do. Actually, I shouldn't have told you, Doctor, but I can't tell my parents—"

Yukawa raised his index finger to his lips, as if to stop Kyohei from continuing.After that, he pointed at Gongping with that finger again. "You mean, the night of the fireworks?" Gongping nodded.Sure enough, Tang Chuan had already seen through everything. "Let's talk about this tomorrow, and get a good night's sleep tonight." After speaking, Tang Chuan turned around and left without looking back.
