Another peaceful day.
Thinking about it, it had been more than half a month since the store opened, and Liu Ming had gradually gotten used to this kind of life.
Seeing everyone's joyful expressions, he also felt very happy.
Liu Ming, bored, played games with the two little adorable ones. These were games he specifically ordered online, suitable for children. He himself wasn't without game discs; in fact, he had many, but those weren't suitable for playing with children.
As they played, Xiao Hina no longer just watched from the side. She took the game controller from Liu Ming's hand and played with Kanna.
Liu Ming stretched lazily and saw Yuta tidying the dining table. He asked, "Have you made a decision? Are you planning to move back to your original city to continue living, or stay here?"
Yuta's aunt had already visited the day before yesterday, and she came with Takanashi Nobuyoshi, the Uncle of The Takanashi Sisters.
When the two saw the mental state of the three sisters, they knew that they had been doing very well these days, and both of them felt relieved.
After some friendly discussions, they finally agreed to let The Takanashi Sisters continue to live together, especially after dining at the restaurant, they trusted Liu Ming even more.
From the dishes Liu Ming made, they felt Liu Ming's care for The Takanashi Sisters. This direct feeling could not be faked at all.
Takanashi Nobuyoshi even handed over the belongings left by their parents to Liu Ming. Compared to Yuta, he clearly trusted Liu Ming more.
After all, Yuta was only a first-year university student, currently busy with his studies. Liu Ming, on the other hand, had already graduated from university and had a better understanding of life's circumstances. His thoughts were also more mature, and he considered things more comprehensively.
Moreover, he was also the owner and head chef of a famous restaurant; he believed that the other party was capable of taking good care of The Takanashi Sisters.
Of course, more importantly, The Takanashi Sisters did not reject Liu Ming, their Uncle, and Miyu and Xiao Hina were even very close to Liu Ming.
And so, Liu Ming became the nominal guardian of The Takanashi Sisters.
....
Yuta scratched his head; facing Liu Ming's question, he didn't know how to answer.
Liu Ming couldn't help but rub his forehead helplessly, so he called them over. "There's only a little over a week left until school starts, and it's time for you to make a decision. Will you transfer schools and stay here, or return to your original residence?"
Liu Ming looked at them and asked calmly.
Sora and Miyu exchanged glances, having implicitly made a decision. However, they still planned to ask Xiao Hina for her opinion, even though she was only three years old.
"Xiao Hina, do you like home or do you like it here?" Sora stood in front of Xiao Hina, squatted down, and held Xiao Hina's shoulders.
"Are Daddy and Mommy back?" Xiao Hina tilted her head.
Sora's expression changed, but she quickly composed herself. She forced a smile and said, "They're not back yet."
"Then I'm not going back. Uncle always has delicious food here. I'll wait here for Daddy and Mommy to pick me up," Xiao Hina shook her head, pulled Kanna, and the two continued to play games.
It seemed their relationship was already very close.
"Sister," Miyu hugged Sora, her eyes a little red.
"I'm fine," Sora patted Miyu's back, then turned to Liu Ming and said, "We've decided to stay here. Although our home is full of memories, it's also full of sadness.
If we continue to stay there, I'm afraid we'll never be able to forget. I hope my younger sisters can live happily. During this time, I've noticed their smiles have increased a lot, so we've decided to live here."
"If you stay here, you'll have to transfer schools. I don't want you spending over an hour going to school every day," Liu Ming said seriously.
"Although it's hard to leave, there's nothing we can do about it," Sora's expression was serious.
"You think so too?" Liu Ming looked at Miyu.
"Yes," Miyu also nodded.
"Are you sure?" Liu Ming confirmed again.
Sora and Miyu looked at each other and said in unison, "We've decided."
"In that case, I won't say anything more. Now you need to consider the housing problem, after all, you can't stay with me forever."
"Ah, Xiao Ming, are you trying to kick us out?" Miyu pretended to be pitiful, pulling Liu Ming's arm.
"You know I don't have enough rooms here. I can't let you stay like this forever. Yuta is fine, since he's a man. But you two girls are growing up, you need some private space."
Liu Ming gently rubbed her head, explaining.
Yuta couldn't help but roll his eyes. What's wrong with him being a man? Can't men have human rights?
"Don't worry, it's fine as it is now. I don't want to move out. You promised Uncle to take good care of us," Miyu saw that Liu Ming seemed serious about making them move out and immediately became anxious.
"This..." Liu Ming became troubled. He couldn't help but look at Yuta and Sora.
Yuta shrugged, "I don't care. Besides, after school starts, I plan to live in the dorms. The money I've earned during this time is enough, so I don't need to do odd jobs. I plan to focus on my studies."
"It's already very good like this, we won't mind," Sora echoed Miyu's words.
Liu Ming fell silent. He said that out of helplessness, as he really didn't have enough rooms, and he didn't want to inconvenience them. But they truly didn't want to leave.
"Sigh," Liu Ming sighed, then, under their expectant gazes, slowly said, "Since that's the case, we won't plant vegetables in the yard anymore. I'll hire someone to design it specifically and build a residential house there.
We'll also create a small garden in the middle to connect this place and that. This way, there will definitely be enough rooms. Before the house is built, you'll have to bear with it. Any problems?"
"Long live Xiao Ming!" Miyu jumped up happily.
Sora also smiled.
