Chapter 89: Extra

＊＊＊

"Hey, isn't that Xiao Liu's husband? Is he back today?"

Some aunties playing mahjong downstairs were drinking tea during the break. They saw a white-haired man with a handbag rushing into the community and couldn't help but get curious.

"?"

The white-haired young man seemed to see the aunties sitting at the entrance of the community. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled shyly at them and hurried home.

The aunties had nothing to do, and they just looked at each other.

Auntie A: "This kid, he's already married with kids, but he still doesn't wash the tattoo on his mouth. Isn't he afraid that his kids will learn bad things?"

As soon as Auntie A finished speaking, Auntie B suddenly became a little nervous.

She turned her head and looked around, carefully checking if there were any ears behind her. After confirming that there was no one behind or in front of her, Auntie B breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Auntie A with some reproach.

"We are outside, not indoors, watch your words. You know Xiao Liu hates others talking about her husband! Last time, Chun Ping said that her husband was young and unstable, and Xiao Liu glared at her and started arguing with Chun Ping!"

"..."

When the auntie heard this, she looked a little strange.

She looked behind her with lingering fear, and said in a low voice, "I don't know what's wrong with Xiao Liu... Her temper has become worse and worse since she gave birth to a child."

•

Toge was carrying a thick doctoral thesis. Before he entered the door, he heard the sound of crying from inside.

"..."

This voice was so familiar to him that Toge became anxious after hearing it for just two seconds. He quickly put his doctoral thesis by the door and searched his pocket for the key.

*click*

The door opened.

A small figure jumped directly at the door and flew into Toge's arms.

"Dad! Mom is bad! Mom is bad!"

The little boy with white hair and purple eyes, whose height was as high as a pillow, jumped into Toge's arms and complained while crying loudly, and all his tears and snot were wiped on Toge's clothes.

This was his and Tiantian's first child.

Inumaki Yu.

"What's wrong? Are you naughty again?"

Toge squatted down, wiped his son's tears, looked at him distressedly, and asked in a soft voice.

Yu inherited Toge's hair color and eye color, but his whole face, eyes, lips, and appearance are almost exactly the same as Tiantian's, both of them were handsome type.

Seeing Yu crying, it was as if he saw a smaller Tiantian crying bitterly.

So much so that when the child just crawled on the ground, Toge often had hallucinations— the smaller Tiantian was crawling on the ground without any clothes, holding a pacifier.

"My butt hurts! My butt hurts!"

Yu cried with tears in his eyes, and tried hard to get his white hair into his father's arms, and the low-profile version of the teeth was exposed.

"It doesn't hurt, let daddy take a look."

Toge patted Yu's trembling back and carefully took off his pants with his other hand.

"..."

As expected.

There were at least five red slap marks on Yu's two white and tender milk-flavored steamed buns.

"You are still crying, who smashed the flower pot?"

Before Toge could comfort his son, he saw Tiantian with a big belly, wearing a light pink maternity outfit, and carrying a broom from the kitchen with an angry face.

"!!"

Seeing the broom, an ominous premonition rose from Toge's heart.

He subconsciously held his son in his arms, looking at Tiantian with some caution and grievance, "Yu-chan is still young, don't do this, it will scare the child."

Tiantian: "..."

She rolled her eyes helplessly and pointed to the direction of the kitchen with the broom.

"Do you think I'm going to pick up the broom and beat him? The broken flower pots are still in the kitchen, and the dirt is scattered all over the floor. Do you want to clean it up if you have nothing to do?"

Toge: "Let me do it, you go and rest, you are not feeling well."

Seeing that Tiantian's tone was not as angry as before, the man quickly carried his son to the sofa, took the broom from his wife, and went to clean the kitchen.

While Toge was in the kitchen cleaning up the flower pots, Tiantian glanced at her son crying on the sofa, and said angrily, "You are just like your father!" then she went to the door and brought in the doctoral thesis that Toge brought back.

"Tiantian! The doctor said you can't bend often now!"

Toge had just finished cleaning up the broken pieces of the flower pots, and when she came out, she saw Tiantian bending her body to tidy up the thesis on the ground. He was so scared that he ran from the living room and quickly straightened Tiantian.

"I'm fine. I gave birth to Youzi before, so I have experience."

Tiantian rolled her eyes. Although her tone was dissatisfied, her body movements were very honest, and she directly took the man's arm.

Speaking of her son, Tiantian narrowed her eyes and coldly brought up the past, "You don't know this little b*stard. I saw him break a flower pot, but he turned around and lied that he didn't do it. If I did this when I was a child, my mother would have slapped me twice. But he is better! I spanked him a few times, and he cried like a chicken."

"..."

Hearing Tiantian's words, Toge was shocked and a little helpless, "Yu-chan will still lie?"

Yu: "..."

Hearing his father's shocked tone, the child covered his face with shame and lay on the sofa, acting as a turtle.

"Don't cry, I just want to ask you, did I hit you wrong today? I tell you, if this were your grandmother, you would be torn to pieces today!"

Tiantian could tolerate everything else, but she couldn't tolerate her son lying to her, and she was furious today.

"Tiantian... forget it, I'll talk to him, don't scare the child."

Toge supported his forehead, hugged Tiantian's shoulders, and tried to comfort the angry pregnant woman.

Although Tiantian always used Mother Liu to scare Yu.

But Toge knew that Mother Liu doted on Yu more than he did.

He still remembered the way Yu rolled around in the mall.

At that time, Tiantian was furious and rolled up her sleeves to fight. Before Toge could stop her, Mother Liu rushed over— if you want to hit my grandson, you should kill me first!!!

This scene was still fresh in his memory.

So Tiantian was basically the only one in the family who could deal with Yu.

"Tell dad, why did you lie to mom?"

Toge held Yu in his arms, let him sit on his lap, and asked him in a soft voice.

"...mom likes that flower pot, I don't want her to hate me..."

Yu wiped his tears sadly, his big wet eyes occasionally stole glances at Tiantian who was sitting next to him, his voice was as small as a mosquito.

"..."

Seeing her son's pitiful appearance, Tiantian also softened a little.

She exchanged glances with her husband and reached out to take Yu to her side.

"The most important thing for a person is honesty, and the courage to take responsibility for his own mistakes. It's not terrible to make mistakes, but it's shameful to not face your own mistakes, understand? Youzi?"

She stretched out her fingers to wipe her son's eyes again and again, wiping away the tears that oozed from his eyes.

"Mom was a little impulsive today. Mom apologizes to you. I'm sorry."

"But Youzi has to apologize to mom too, because Youzi lied to mom, don't you think so?"

Toge smiled with relief.

"I'm sorry, mom... I won't lie again."

Yu cried again, and he cried while burrowing into Tiantian's arms, "Mom, hug me! Hug me! Hug Youzi! Woo waaahh!"

"It's okay, don't cry, mommy will hold you."

Tiantian quickly kissed Yu's forehead while hugging him.

Toge went to get the napkins on the table.

•

At about 6:30 in the evening, Tiantian's mobile phone on the table rang. She saw that it was a video call from Japan.

"You answer it first, I'll serve the soup."

Tiantian was serving soup in the kitchen and called Toge.

Toge clicked on the video call, and the next second, the familiar faces of Gojo Satoru and Itadori Yuji appeared in the video.

[Oh! Isn't this Papa Toge?]

Satoru, with his handsome face that never changed, stared at Toge with his big blue eyes in surprise.

[Sorry, Toge-senpai, are you busy now?]

Yuji looked helpless.

[Hey? Where's my sister? Where is my sister?]

Junpei, who was wearing a ponytail behind the two of them, stretched his head hard, but due to the height limit, Toge could only see his dark head.

"Konbu!"

Seeing everyone familiar, Toge's face was full of joy, and a smile from the heart appeared in an instant.

[No more talk! Watch TV!]

Satoru started to urge excitedly.

"..."

Gojo-sensei was too eye-catching, and Toge recalled some not-so-good memories.

At that time, Yu was just born, his eyes were not open yet, and he was carried out of the delivery room by the nurse.

Everyone saw Yu with white hair.

Before Toge had time to cry for joy, his son was taken from the nurse's arms by Satoru.

Satoru looked at Yu happily and said carelessly, "This child looks like me!"

The nurse didn't understand the situation either. Seeing that Yu and Satoru both had white hair, she smiled and said, "Baby's father, please be careful."

"Gojo-sensei, that's enough!"

Megumi, who was standing by, punched Satoru in the back with a sullen face, and even Yuji was dumbfounded.

"This guy... is really..."

Maki looked at Toge's face turned green, and shook her head helplessly.

"Hahahaha!"

Only Mother Liu, who didn't know the truth and couldn't understand Japanese, smiled and bent her eyes.

But although he recalled something bad, Toge still listened to Satoru and turned on the TV.

"..."

The picture on the TV made Toge's purple eyes slightly widen and stunned.

•

When Tiantian came out, she saw Toge holding their son, sitting in front of the sofa, staring at the TV without blinking.

"You are watching..."

Tiantian turned her head and saw a huge rocket launch screen on the TV.

[Zheng 12 will be launched at the Baquan Launch Center in fifteen seconds. This Sino-Japanese cooperation project...]

In the screen, the staff were busy, and the snow-white rocket stood in the center, magnificent and majestic under the sunset.

Toge held his son in his arms and was fascinated by the scene without realizing it.

"It's all over."

Tiantian patted her belly and looked at Toge with a smile.

"Hmm..."

Toge reached out and pulled Tiantian to sit beside him, holding her shoulders, leaning his head on Tiantian's shoulder like a child, staring at the screen on the TV seriously.

[Ten, nine, eight, seven,]

[Three]

[Two]

[One]

The rocket was launched.

"..."

At the end of the TV, watching the light of the rocket slowly disappear in the sky, Toge asked softly, "Do you think... he will come back?"

"I don't know."

Tiantian was very honest.

"But whether he comes back or not, he will never be a match for humans."

"Hmm."

Toge hummed softly, holding his son in his arms, and closed his eyes softly on Tiantian's shoulder.

Here, there was a sense of peace of mind.

From the beginning to the end.

Perhaps, in some unknown way, he had a vague idea the first time he saw Tiantian.

This was his home.

•

At night, Tiantian just came out of the shower and saw Toge sitting on the bed, holding a small umbrella.

"What are you doing?" Tiantian's eyes were blank.

Toge smiled shyly, "The doctor said... after five months... doing that kind of thing will be good for your body."

Tiantian: "..."

You just want to do it yourself, right?
