Cherish the time

Chapter 128

"Oh, Xiaoliang, you're here!" Shinto immediately rushed towards him to avoid the attack from Shihe.

Ta Ya was caught off guard by his wrist, and suddenly lost his center of gravity, his whole body fell forward, and his knee was about to hit the bottom of the car.

Shinto reacted quickly and stretched out his other hand to wrap around his waist, stopping his tendency to fall forward.

This happened in just a split second, and after Ichikawa realized it, Shinto had already helped Taya stabilize his center of gravity, and let go of his hand.

"Ah..." Shihe breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiao Liang, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Taya patted her knee casually, and sat next to Shinto.

Bringing Guangliang and Taya to Taya's house, Ichikawa gave Taya his gift, and then drove away.

"Isn't Miss Ichikawa together?" Shinto was a little puzzled.

Ta Ya glanced at the direction the car was leaving, "She has an appointment tonight."

"...Oh." Shinto said that he still couldn't understand the situation, "By the way, who else is there tonight?"

Relying on the familiarity of himself and the friends around Taya, he didn't have too much burden to come here for dinner, so he never thought of asking this question.

But seeing Miss Shihe's departure, he felt that things were a little bit different from what he expected.

Taya glanced at him with a very calm expression, "Father, mother, you, and me."

Shinto Hikaru: ...

He was silent for a moment, and tried to confirm, "It means... am I the only guest tonight?"

"Well." Taya opened the door of the house with a key, "Please come in."

"Zoe. ’ he cried inwardly.

"how? 』

"...I suddenly feel a little stressed. 』

After entering the gate of the courtyard and walking through the gravel path, Toya Yukihiro and Toya Akiko were already waiting at the entrance.

Shinto and Taya took two quick steps, "Good evening." Both of them bowed their heads in salute.

Taya Yukio nodded in return, and Taya Akiko hurried forward two steps, grabbed the hands of the two children and entered the room, "Hey, come in quickly, dinner is already ready... It's not cold on the way, right?"

"Thanks to Ms. Ichikawa who sent us here, of course we're not freezing." Shinto's hand was tightly held by Akiko Taya, and the warmth warmed his heart.

"A few days ago, I heard from Xiaoliang that you fell ill... Are you okay now?" Taya Akiko looked into his eyes worriedly, let go of Xiaoliang's hand, and pulled him into the room with his backhand. into his arms, "...It's really hard work for you."

Shinto was held in the arms of Akiko Taya, feeling peaceful in his heart.

Taya Akiko hugged for a while, then let go of Shindo to let him change his shoes.

Then a group of people moved towards the restaurant.

After a sumptuous dinner, Akiko Taya brought out today's cake, and Shinto's expression suddenly became strange.

...The cake is not only quite large in diameter, but also has two layers.

He touched his stomach with his hands and swallowed back the full belch that came out of his mouth.

"...I don't think I can eat it." Feeling helpless, Shinto whispered in Taya's ear.

"Just eat something." Taya didn't show any expression, but what he said revealed his equally speechless heart, "...I told my father a long time ago that only you will come tonight...but he still made an order like this Big cake."

Shinto suddenly remembered Ashihara's evaluation of Toya Yukihiro's "stupid father".

Can't help but take it for granted.

While the two of them were muttering to each other, Akiko Toya had already inserted thirteen candles and lit them one by one.

After confirming that the candles were lit, Taya Yukio consciously walked to the door and turned off the chandelier in the restaurant.

The whole restaurant suddenly went dark.

"Let's sing!" Taya Akiko clapped her hands suddenly, and sat down beside Taya Ryo, "One, two, three—! Happy Birthday to You——"

All four of them sang along with her starting tune.

Shinto clapped his hands and looked at Ryo Toya beside him with a smile.

Under the light of the faint candlelight, his round and lovely face already showed a bit of a well-defined skeleton, vaguely giving Shinto the illusion that a child has grown up.

He shook his head violently, threw out the messy associations in his mind, and continued to sing with concentration.

Because of Shinto's sudden convulsion, Taya gave him a suspicious look, then closed his eyes and began to make a wish.

Shinto Hikaru looked at his serious look, and suddenly wanted to ask him what kind of wish he had made.

As soon as Taya opened his eyes, he saw Shinto's probing eyes.

With the scene in front of him and the wish he made, a smile appeared in Taya's eyes, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly because of this.

After he blew out the candle with a smile, Taya Yukiyo also turned on the light at the right time.

"Happy birthday!" Shindo immediately took out a rectangular box from the satchel he was carrying and stuffed it into Taya's hand.

Taya subconsciously caught the box sent by Shinto, "Ah...thank you. Can I open it?"

"Let's dismantle it." Shinto said very readily, and finally added a little embarrassedly, "Although it's not something that will surprise people..."

Taya ignored his words, lowered her head and unwrapped the gift intently.

After peeling off the off-white wrapping paper on the surface, the outer box body of the mobile phone is exposed.

Taya Akiko let out a low cry, "Oh...this is really..."

"It's not something very expensive!" Jin Teng quickly explained, fearing that Aunt Akiko would refuse his gift instead of Xiao Liang, "—I just thought it would be very convenient to have a mobile phone... and I bought it for myself One, so that I can contact Xiaoliang at any time..." He took out a new mobile phone of the same model and different color as Taya's from his pocket.

Taya took out the brand-new dark green mobile phone from the box and held it in his hand, and then glanced at the same golden brown mobile phone in Shinto's hand, feeling a very subtle sense of satisfaction for some reason.

"...Thank you." He nodded in thanks, put the phone back in the box, and put the box on the dining table.

"Great, Xiaoliang looks very happy. ’ Zuo Wei stood aside and said with a smile.

"... I'm relieved. 』

Taya Akiko glanced at Taya Yukihiro with some worry, and seeing that the other party didn't express anything special, she reluctantly suppressed the worries in her heart, and took out the gift she had prepared, "Congratulations, you have grown up again Years old, Xiaoliang!"

Then he wrapped a very majestic hand-woven scarf around Taya Ryo's neck with his own hands.

And the gift from Taya Yukio was a small box. After opening it, there was a very elegant seal lying inside.

"You have become a professional chess player, and you can be regarded as an adult. This seal is engraved with the words 'Prudent Thinking and Acting'. I believe you will understand its meaning."

Shinto can only feel that the education he and Taya have received is not at the same level.

While he was still receiving sneakers as gifts from his parents, this guy was already holding the seal of his father's advice.

After receiving the presents and sharing the cake, Shinto ate the fruit prepared by Akiko Taya and sat at Taya's house and chatted with Ryo Taya and Yukihiro Taya for a while.

It wasn't until [-]:[-] in the evening that Shinto Mitsuko dialed Shinto Hikari's mobile phone, and then he got up and left from Taya's house.

Before leaving, Shinto took Taya Ryo's hand and told him, "I have saved my number and e-mail address in your phone's address book, and I will also save your own phone number for you to avoid will forget."

"After registering your email address, remember to send me an email to let me know."
