Chapter 288: Hoshino Makoto.
Chapter 288: Hoshino Makoto.
Although Hoshino Kaede only spent a short time with the child, they are connected by blood after all, and as a parent, she would not care about her child.
But as I said before, this child's origin is destined to be unacceptable to the secular world. Once the news leaks, it will trigger a chain reaction.
People's fear often comes from the unknown. In extreme situations, no one knows what will happen or whether they will be exploited by someone with ulterior motives, especially during this special period.
"I'm afraid you are reluctant to give up the child. After all, there have been rumors in the village that you will never marry. Now that you have unexpectedly got this child, you must be extremely happy."
Chiho Ri smiled teasingly, analyzing Hoshino Kaede's psychology thoroughly.
It's only when he's talking to acquaintances that he's easy to talk to. If it's someone else, Xingye Feng will definitely not be in a good mood.
"Haha, these are just rumors, don't take them seriously. I'll trouble you with this child in the future." Xingye Feng smiled and waved his hand, then added: "Although he is my child, I have to treat him equally."
"Just like other children, eat and live together, don't give any special treatment."
Chiho Li smiled when she heard this, and shook her head to directly reject Hoshino Kaede's request: "That won't work. Your child is special, so I will naturally pay attention to him. It's reasonable for me to pay more attention to him."
After saying this, Hoshino Kaede wanted to persuade Chihori to give up her idea, but someone else got there first and she swallowed back all her words of persuasion.
"Okay, I'm the dean, this matter is settled, please don't say anything more, sir."
Chiho Ri was rarely strong and directly blocked Hoshino Kaede's mouth.
This made Xingye Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly: "As for that..."
"As for that!" Chihori nodded with a gentle smile, but her attitude was extremely firm.
Seeing this, Hoshino Kaede had no choice but to nod and agree with Chihori's statement.
"Does the child have a name?" Chihori said, looking at the child with gentle eyes.
Hoshino Feng pondered for a moment, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then gave an answer.
"...Hoshino Makoto."
Chiho was stunned for a moment, then her eyebrows curved and she looked at him with a smile: "You said you want to keep it secret and keep a low profile, but your name is not like that."
Xingye Feng scratched his head awkwardly and said stubbornly: "I am not the only one with the last name Xingye in Konoha. There are many others. This one is not a big deal."
Hoshino Kaede, who is regarded as a national idol, had many people imitating her when she was at the peak of her popularity, both in terms of her tone of voice and her lifestyle.
What's more, he even changed his birth name to follow the surname of Hoshino Kaede. He was so persistent to the extreme.
After hearing this, Chiho-ri instantly remembered what happened back then and chuckled, "That's right, then this child will be called Hoshino Makoto."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Chiho looked over and said, "Come in."
After getting the consent, the door was opened with a creak, revealing a figure that made Xingye Feng smile slightly and said jokingly.
"Nono is getting prettier and you've grown into a grown-up girl. If anyone marries you, it would be a blessing from their past life."
That’s right, the person who came was Yakushi Nono, the young girl back then.
The moment Nono Yu entered the room, she recognized Hoshino Kaede. Hearing these words, her pretty face flushed and her fingers restlessly pinched the corner of her clothes.
Seeing this, Chiho glared at Hoshino Kaede angrily, then turned to Nono and said softly, "Nono, is there something wrong?"
As the recognized "mother" of the children in the orphanage, Chiho can remember the name and personality of each child.
Nono was no exception. Unless there was something serious, the child would never bother him.
"The orphanage has just accepted hundreds of orphans, and we need you, the director, to go and take a look." Nono said in a gentle voice.
After hearing this, Chiho looked at Hoshino Kaede apologetically: "I'm sorry, sir, look at this..."
The meaning was self-evident. Xingye Feng smiled, stood up and said, "I haven't been here for a long time. I'll stay a little longer today and take a look at the situation in the courtyard. I hope you won't reject me."
This teasing tone made Chiho Li smile helplessly: "You are joking. Your contribution to the hospital's current status is indelible."
After saying this, Chihori led the way and they headed to the public training ground in the academy.
Seeing the spacious, new playground, Xingye Feng jokingly said, "This is bigger than a professional training ground. No wonder your office looks so shabby."
“All the money has been invested here.”
Before Chihori could speak, Nono said with a look of admiration in her eyes: "The director's mother is very frugal on weekdays. She didn't keep anything for herself and gave it all to us."
As she spoke, Nono's eyes turned slightly red, and the little pearls in her eyes were about to fall.
She stayed in the orphanage the longest. The other children left after they grew up, but she stayed stubbornly and witnessed the development of the orphanage over the years.
"Why are you saying these things, kid? You lived a hard life in the past, and you have become accustomed to being frugal. There is nothing to say."
Chiho Ri held her forehead helplessly, she was used to the hard life and couldn't change it.
Hearing this, Xingye Feng patted her shoulder and said softly, "I'm sorry that I can't agree with what you said. There's nothing wrong with being frugal, but you should also pay attention to your own health problems."
He looked at her with an unquestionable look in his eyes. Years of hard work had made Chihiro's skin dry and dull, without its former luster.
This is a bolt from the blue and unbearable for those who love beauty.
He looked directly at Chihori with a firm gaze, as if he would never take it back until she agreed.
"Alas..." Chiho-ri was helpless. She looked at Nono with a relieved look and said, "It seems that my career as the dean is coming to an end."
"Nono, it's up to you from now on."
The sudden heavy responsibility made Nonou confused and extremely nervous.
"Can I...can I do it?" She had no confidence in herself. With such a big family, there were so many aspects to consider and things to pay attention to.
This made Nono very panicked and he felt that he could not bear this burden.
Seeing this, Chihori held Nono's hands with both hands and said soothingly: "Believe in yourself, your ability is far greater than you think."
Feeling the warmth of the palm, Nono suddenly calmed down, her inner panic was soothed, and a warm current flowed through her body, giving her courage and strength.
Xingye Feng encouraged him and said, "I am also optimistic about you. Why don't you serve as the vice-president first and let Chiho teach you step by step. This can also serve as a transition."
Hearing this, Chiho nodded happily: "This is a good method, let's do it this way."
Nono opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in front of the two of them, he couldn't say it.
After struggling for a while, Nono finally whispered, "I...I'll give it a try."
