Tokyo: The story begins with a confession.

The knife in his hand was the first to disagree!

He helped Mashiro pull the blanket up a little to prevent the wind from getting in over her shoulders. He said it was important to be careful when sleeping with the air conditioning on at night, otherwise she might catch a cold.

After seeing Mashiro close her eyes and sleep peacefully, Uesugi Kenichi also closed his eyes and held Mashiro in his arms.

At that moment, the burning sensation in his heart had completely disappeared, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, after Uesugi Kenichi woke up, he also woke Mashiro up.

To ensure I get home safely before nightfall, I have to leave early.

He didn't need to take care of the three little ones at home. After he got up, Huizi and the others also got up and went to the bathroom to wash their faces and brush their teeth.

The only one who truly needs care is Mashiro.

"Qianyi, I have a secret to tell you."

Just as he was making breakfast, Mashiro mysteriously ran over and whispered something in his ear.

Chapter 211 Big Python

"Oh? What secret?" Uesugi Kenichi asked curiously as he scooped the fried egg from the pan and put it on a plate without stopping his hands.

This is really strange; Mashiro actually has a secret to tell him.

"Qianyi, you need to be careful. I've discovered a terrifying giant python on your body. It's so scary!"

Mashiro tried her best to open her mouth wide to look scary, but her expression remained unchanged, which made her look rather funny.

"What nonsense are you talking about so early in the morning? Where would I get some giant python on me? Hurry up and sit down, get ready to eat."

"it is true!"

Mashiro got anxious when she saw that Uesugi Kenichi didn't believe her. "I saw the python come out of your body with my own eyes. It was huge and really scary. Look, it came out from here."

It was clear that Mashiro was still a little scared and only dared to point at it from a distance.

Uesugi Kenichi stared at the spot where Mashiro was pointing, a huge black line appearing on his face. At that moment, he seemed to understand what the python Mashiro was talking about was!

"boom!"

He tapped Mashiro's forehead impatiently. "Listen up, there's no giant python at all. Don't take this to heart at all, understand? If you mention the python again, your daily share of Baumkuchen will be halved!"

Upon hearing this, Mashiro quickly covered her mouth and shook her head, indicating that she would never mention it again.

Mashiro only took her hand off her mouth after Uesugi Kenichi left the kitchen.

She was certain that there was a terrifying python inside Qianyi, and being scolded for it made her feel a little wronged.

However, when Uesugi Kenichi threatened her with the Baumkuchen cake, she had no choice but to comply, though she was still resentful inside.

"No, I have to find a way to help Qian find this giant python. Hmm, I need to come up with a plan, called the Great Python Elimination Plan!" Zhenbai felt incredibly clever at this moment.

"Mashiro, what are you still standing there for? Come and eat."

"it is good."

"I'm starting!" After everyone was seated, they put their hands together in prayer and began their struggle with breakfast.

After having breakfast, Uesugi Kenichi packed his suitcase and put it in the car that came to pick him up, then set off on his way home.

It was a bit of a hassle to carry four suitcases, not because of their weight, but simply because they were difficult to handle.

Fortunately, Mashiro can also help push one.

Once on the bullet train home, Uesugi Kenichi carefully put away his luggage, keeping his eyes fixed on Mashiro and the others, not letting them out of his sight.

After finally finishing tidying everything up, he breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.

To make it easier to take care of them, he specially bought six tickets. Keiko and the others sat inside, while Mashiro sat opposite him.

The bullet train slowly started moving, and the scenery outside the train began to change continuously.

"It's okay, don't be nervous. With your brother here, what are you afraid of?"

Kenichi Uesugi looked at Keiko and the others and laughed.

After spending this time together, Konna, Souta, and Keiko have come to regard Uesugi Kenichi as true family.

When you're at home, you don't feel as restricted as when you're visiting someone else's house.

But now that they were about to be taken home to meet Uesugi Kenichi's family, they still felt a little uneasy.

"Onii-chan, will Uncle and Auntie not like us?" Connor asked anxiously, his two index fingers intertwined.

Upon hearing this, Keiko and Sōta looked at Uesugi Kenichi with some nervousness.

"Kanna-chan is so cute, everyone would like her." Uesugi Kenichi patted Kanna's hair to comfort her.

It took a while before Connor and the others were able to temporarily put aside their worries.

He turned his head to look at the scenery passing by outside the window, propped his head up with his right hand, and quietly appreciated it.

Although Japan is a small country, it has its own unique style, especially in terms of greening and environmental protection.

It's currently summer, and the scenery outside the car window is lush and green, brimming with vitality.

After a two-and-a-half-hour train ride, he finally arrived in Akita Prefecture, near his home.

After transferring to a long-distance bus in Akita Prefecture, it took him more than two hours to reach his home in Sakata Prefecture.

The journey didn't end there; he had to transfer to another bus in Sakata Prefecture before finally arriving at his home in Yatsuhashi Town.

Finally, after getting off the bus, Uesugi Kenichi dragged his suitcase off, then reached out and picked up the three kids, carrying them off the bus. He then helped the slightly swaying Mashiro up.

Even he felt a bit tired after a day of driving, let alone the little ones.

RB is a mountainous region, and his hometown, Yatsuhashi Town, is located deep in the mountains. From the moment he boarded the bus, the road wound around the mountains, and the road was poorly maintained, making the journey extremely bumpy.

Kenichi Uesugi took water out of his bag and handed it to them, then looked around at the surroundings.

Although I have 697 images of my hometown in my memory, it still feels somewhat unfamiliar.

He looked closely, comparing it with the image in his mind. Before him was a very primitive town, with architecture that had a strong sense of the era, and the buildings along the streets were mainly made of wood.

This unique architectural style was quite pleasant to him, as he was used to seeing tall buildings and skyscrapers.

There weren't many pedestrians on the street, and not many young people. The few who did appear appeared to be in junior high school.

There is no high school in their town. If they want to attend high school, they would have to go to Miyajima town, which is half an hour away.

Not to mention the town, even the entire Sakata Prefecture was extremely poor and economically backward, not much different from some mountainous counties in the former China.

Most of the able-bodied adults have gone to big cities to make a living, and not many young people are left here.

"Qianyi, over here."

As he was observing his surroundings, a voice that was both strange and extremely familiar reached his ears.

The moment the voice appeared, he turned around, and a man in his forties stood before him.

The person who arrived was none other than the original owner's father—Uesugi Nogo.

Chapter 212 Going Home

Uesugi Kenichi moved his lips and still managed to call out, "Father."

"I've finally waited for you." Uesugi Nogo walked over with a smile on his face. He looked his son, who had made a great name for himself outside, up and down, his eyes full of satisfaction.

"Great, he's taller and stronger than before, and he's become very manly."

This was the first time Uesugi Nogo had been separated from his son for so long, and he missed him terribly. Now that his son was finally home, he was overjoyed.

The change is quite significant. My son, who used to exude insecurity, seems to have become a completely different person. He now radiates a sharpness and exudes youthful energy.

It seems that big cities are indeed a place that can toughen people up. He was very satisfied with the change in Uesugi Kenichi, after all, he couldn't stand his son's timid and submissive attitude before.

He didn't dwell on why Uesugi Kenichi had changed so much, nor did he speculate that his son might have been switched at birth.

After all, a normal person wouldn't have such thoughts.

Kenjiro Uesugi nodded and chuckled slightly. "Living alone outside inevitably brings some changes."

He then glanced at Uesugi Nogo without saying anything more.

Uesugi Nogo is very tall and robust. Judging from his height, he is probably over 1.8 meters tall, not much shorter than him. In terms of appearance, he is somewhat similar to Uesugi Kenichi, but much more rugged, with more wrinkles around his eyes and dark skin, looking like the kind of person who often works in the fields.

He noticed Uesugi Nogo's gaze fall on his back and immediately realized what was happening.

"Oh, right, Father, these are the children I told you about. This is Keiko, Connor, and Sōta."

Uesugi Ken stepped aside, revealing Keiko and the others, and said with a smile, "Say hello."

Keiko and Souta exchanged a glance. The three little devils reacted quickly, immediately lined up, and bowed in unison at a ninety-degree angle, saying, "Hello, Uncle Uesugi. We are Keiko, Kanna, and Souta. We apologize for the trouble we've caused you, and hope you'll forgive us."

Although the three of them were very nervous before they came, they performed flawlessly at this moment, as if they had rehearsed beforehand, with their movements being perfectly synchronized.

"Hey, hey, you're so good. Here, this is a gift from your uncle."

It has to be said that Keiko, Kanna, and the other two are really adorable in appearance; they are the kind of kids that make you want to hug and love them just by looking at them.

The three of them greeted each other in their childish voices, making Uesugi Nogo feel completely flustered.

He hurriedly wiped his hands on his clothes, reached out to hug them but was afraid of scaring them, so he withdrew his hands and took out a few plush toys from a three-wheeled motorcycle behind him and handed them to them.

"Thank you, Uncle Uesugi." Keiko and the other two thanked him in unison as they accepted the doll.

Uesugi Nogo looked at the three well-behaved and adorable children in front of him, his face beaming so hard his eyes almost disappeared.

To be honest, he had some reservations about his son adopting three children, since Uesugi Kenichi himself was only 16 years old, which meant he was carrying three little burdens around.

But now that he actually saw the three children, especially since they were all so cute and well-behaved, he was overjoyed.

Now, if anyone tries to tell him to send his children away, he'll fight them to the death.

"Hug me." Connor blinked his big eyes and stretched out his little arms to Uesugi Nogo.

When Uesugi Nogo saw Connor reaching out for a hug, his heart melted. He lifted Connor up and placed him on his arm, laughing heartily.

When Keiko saw Connor's actions, she opened her mouth and puffed out her cheeks. This kid certainly knows how to charm people.

Not to be outdone, she immediately flashed a sweet smile and joined Uesugi Nogo's side.

Suddenly, Uesugi Nogo was so engrossed in entertaining these three kids that he completely forgot about his son and left him to the side.

Uesugi Kenichi was quite happy with this arrangement, though he still felt a bit awkward and strange around Uesugi Nogo.

He was very happy that Huizi and the others were loved and accepted by his family.
