For about two hours, Zhigui didn't change his posture and was in a daze, unable to do anything.At this time, the doorbell rang.He stood up slowly. When he opened the door, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. Chaomei's father was standing there. "Excuse me for a moment, okay?" "Ah...it's okay." Nakajo walked in while looking around the room.Zhigui brought over the cushion. "I'm going to get a cup of coffee." "No, don't bother. I don't plan to stay for long." Nakajo still looked around. "It's hard work and school at the same time. It's physically exhausting, and I don't have time and money to spare."

Zhigui nodded silently, unable to see the other party's intention. "Xiaowen told me about your brother. At first, I was taken aback. However, I completely understand your way of hiding this matter in the past. If I were on the same occasion, I would probably do the same. Especially in this case Under the circumstances, it is admirable that you have worked so hard to go to college. If I may not be able to do it." Nakajo took out an envelope from the inside pocket of his suit and placed it in front of Naoki. "Please accept this!" "what is it?" "You'll know it when you look at it."

Zhigui picked up the envelope and looked inside, there was a bunch of 10,000 yuan banknotes. "Please accept my little donation. It is my aid to poor students." Naoki looked at the other person's face. "As for that matter...isn't it?" "Yes," Nakajo nodded and said, "Please stop thinking about the matter with Asami." Zhigui exhaled.He looked at the envelope in his hand, then looked up. "This matter, she..." "Asami? I haven't told her yet, maybe I won't tell her." "I don't think she would agree to that."

"When I was young, I always resisted my parents' actions. But sooner or later I will understand. That's what I mean when I say maybe I won't tell her. I won't talk about it now, maybe I will talk about it when I have a chance in the future." "Is this what adults do?" "Sounds a little sarcastic, but that's basically it." "Where is she now?" "It seems to be in her own room. Her mother and Xiaowen are watching her. I don't know what the girl will do when she loses her temper." Naoki looked at the envelope again.It is not the number of one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand.Certainly an amount he had never had hitherto.

He put the envelope in front of Zhongtiao, "I can't accept this. Nakajo didn't seem particularly surprised by his reaction, he nodded slightly, but he didn't seem to want to give up, he moved his buttocks on the cushion, put his hands on the tatami suddenly, and lowered his head deeply. "Please! Please listen to our advice." All he saw was a majestic attitude, Naoki didn't expect Nakajo's current actions.He was helpless, not knowing what to say.However, he didn't lose his composure. Although he was surprised, he felt that kneeling on the ground like this must be a pre-prepared program by Nakajo.

"Get up please!" "Can you promise me?" Nakajo asked with his head still down. "Anyway, please get up first." "I'm waiting for your answer." As he said, Nakajo maintained the same posture. It is generally thought that it is easy to keep your head down, but this is the point, it seems that there are not so many people who can really implement it, Zhigui thought, it is not impossible to maintain a high profile and firmly promote your own ideas.It was the father's love for his daughter that softened him. "Why are you doing this, even losing your self-esteem..."

"For my daughter! As long as the child can be happy, I can do anything." "You mean she won't be happy if she's with me?" So, Nakajo was silent for a moment, then raised his head slightly: "It's really hard to say, it's like that. After your brother's incident, are you happy? Not only did you work hard, but you also suffered discrimination?" Zhigui took a deep breath, affirming what he said. "If Chaomei is with you, she will also have to shoulder that kind of hard work. If you understand these things and don't care about them, you can't do it as a parent. I hope you can understand."

"If I affirm your theory, I shall never be able to marry anyone, shall I?" "Probably some people think differently than me, you can find someone like that." Saying this, he lowered his head again. Zhigui sighed. "Okay, I see, you raise your head!" "our……" "Well," Naoki nodded, "I won't look for Asami anymore." Nakajo raised his head, with a mixed expression of relief and guard.Said: "Thank you!" "But, I can't accept the money." He pushed the envelope back again. "If you don't accept it, I will be embarrassed."

Nakajo said solemnly.It makes people feel like there is some intention in the words. "Is this a deal?" Zhigui asked tentatively. Zhongjo did not deny, "I don't know whether this statement is appropriate or not." "That is to say, in the future, no matter what, you can't get close to North Korea and the United States, and you can't contact them. If you don't abide by these things, you will have to return the money—do you want to conclude this type of contract?" Zhongjo was silent.For a moment, Zhigui wondered if he had guessed wrong, but looking at the other party's face that seemed a little embarrassed, he suddenly remembered:

"Oh, that's not enough, is it?" he said, "And whenever I and Asami, no, I can't tell anyone about the things I have been with Asami Nakajo from now on, the contract should also include this terms, right?" "I think you'd say it's a selfish thought." Nakajo looked at him seriously. It's still the same!Straight expensive think.I still want to stick to it with a low profile.You can try your best to break up with Asami, but you can't do it if you want to seal my mouth. "I can't accept the money back to you." Zhi Gui repeated.

"Even if you don't charge money, you don't intend to leak it. Is that what you mean?" "No!" Zhigui shook his head, "I won't keep the secret of my relationship with Chaomei, and I plan to spread it around, so I can't accept this money." Zhongjo's face distorted all of a sudden, his expression was full of confusion, embarrassment, and hatred for Naoki.However, he seemed to know that hatred was meaningless, so he could only throw away all pleas for dignity, so there was still a strong sense of anxiety in his expression, which was more urgent than when he pleaded on the ground like acting just now.Seeing this situation, Naoki decided to give up. "Just kidding." Naoki said, "I won't do that." As if caught off guard, Nakajo didn't have any expression on his face this time, just blinking vigorously there. "Don't worry, I won't tell people about me and Chaomei, and I won't get a penny if I talk about it, so I don't want the money, and there is no reason to accept it." "Is it really possible?" Zhongtiao still showed a half-believing look in his eyes. "Yes," Zhigui nodded.Nakajo seemed a little confused, but finally took the envelope back into his arms.It appeared that the negotiation was over, and he didn't want to stay in such a place for a moment. "Excuse me, Chaomei!" Zhigui shook his head as soon as he finished speaking, "No, there is no need to say anything!" Nakajo nodded and stood up, "Take care too!" After the door closed, Naoki still sat like that.All kinds of things happen throughout the day, all kinds of people come and go, and you end up alone. Just got what it should have gotten, he said to himself.Give up, I am used to myself, and I will continue to do so in the future. This is my life.
