Although Amy has an autism, she was a child with normal intelligence and innate ability to sense other people’s emotion, as well as likes and dislikes, which made her a very sensible child. Compared to children of the same age as her, she was more quiet and well-behaved. When she was living on the deserted island she did not even cry, even though they lacked food and water. Because she knew the man was trying to solve this difficulties, so she did not want to add his burden.
But now she began to cry. Lei Yin, whose hearing far more sensitive than ordinary people, was the first person who heard her crying. In his impression, Amy was not a child who can randomly cry. Thinking that she had an accident, Lei Yin rushed to her direction at a staggering speed.
When he arrived at the garden, he saw the scene next to the pond that made him super angry.
He saw a fourteen-fifteen years old teenager was pointing at Amy and loudly laughed at her. The look on the beautiful and cute Amy was the reason he made fun of her. Because her face was painted with the various big blue circles and patterns. The several younger cousins of Takeda, who were playing together with Amy, were cowering in fear, afraid to make any sound to stop the teenager.
Seeing the blue greasy marker on the right hand of this laughing teenager, Lei Yin was furious. He silently walked toward the boy and lifted him up by the collar, and before that juvenile reacted, he threw him in the fish pond.
“Splash!” The teenager almost fell flat on the pond. Although the pond was only waist deep, in this situation where he was caught off guard, he was like a drowning man, constantly struggling and yelling in the water.
“Lei!” Seeing that Lei Yin has come for her, the little girl pursed her mouth and threw herself into his arms and cried out loud.
“Don’t be afraid, it’s all right.” Lei Yin softly comforted her.
“What are you doing?” At this time, someone growled behind him. Then, the tall figure of Kanoyama Akiji rushed to the edge of the fish pond to pull his younger brother.
After the juvenile, who was completely soaked with water, came out of the pond, he continued to cough and breath heavily just like a real drowning person. His appearance was very pathetic.
“What do you think you’re doing?” Kanoyama Akiji rushed to the front of Lei Yin and shouted.
“Obviously, I am not feeding the fish.” Lei Yin dismissively said.
“Bast*rd!” Kanoyama Akiji tightly clenched his fists, seemingly wanted to start a fight.
Seeing this ominous turn of event, Takeda immediately put himself between the two people, “Let us talk, don’t give in to the impulse.”
Seeing the look on Takeda, Lei Yin coldly stared the angry face of the juvenile’s elder brother for a moment. He then turned around and walked back to his room.
“Coward, do you want to escape?” Kanoyama Akiji thought that Lei Yin was timid so he bypassed Takeda’s blocking and went in front of Lei Yin.
“What do you want?” Lei Yin looked at him coldly.
“I want you to apologize to my younger brother.” Kanoyama Akiji said out loud.
Lei Yin revealed a thoughtful smile: “If I say no?”
Seeing Masashi’s eyes, Takeda knew it was a very dangerous signal so he rushed to block the angry Kanoyama Akiji once again.
“Cousin Kanoyama, in this matter, Akito is also wrong, after all, Amy was bullied by him first. Moreover, he was not injured. Just let it past, you better take him to the room to change clothes, otherwise, it would be bad if he catches a cold.”
“Hidetoshi, what’s wrong with you, why are you helping the outsiders instead of me?” Hearing Takeda’s words, Kanoyama Akiji became angrier.
“This is not a question about who helping who, this is just a small thing, no need to make it big. Just let it go.”
“What small thing, that guy threw Akito into the pond and it almost drowned him. And you still think this is a little thing? Hei, don’t try to escape! Akiyama, Masato, stop him, don’t let him get away.” Kanoyama Akiji called out his several friends to stop Lei Yin because he saw Lei Yin was about to leave.
His classmates looked at each other for a moment and then ran to the front of Lei Yin to try to stop him.
But Yoshikawa blocked their way and said: “This is Takeda’s family matter. It has nothing to do with you. Don’t get involved with this.”
He and Takeda were well aware of the severe consequences of angering Masashi. It was very rare for Masashi to hold himself back like today so Yoshikawa did not want this matter to get out of hand. After all, he was Kanoyama Akiji’s acquaintances.
Seeing this, Kanoyama Akiji wanted to rush forward, but Takeda immediately put his arms around him and loudly said: “Don’t get into trouble, he is my good friend and an invited guest, give me face and let it go, okay.”
“Hidetoshi, if you won’t let go of me, I am not going to be polite anymore.” Being blocked by his cousin, Kanoyama Akiji can’t help but anxious.
Just then, a man’s voice suddenly came: “What is going on here?”
Several people turned their head to look, that voice came from Takeda Yifu. He was followed by Takeda Cangshi and Takeda Nadeshiko, as well middle-aged man and woman.
Seeing the soaking wet Kanoyama Akito, the middle-aged woman in a Kimono cried out and rushed over, “Akito, how can you be like this?”
That juvenile pointed to Lei Yin and said: “He threw me into the pool.”
That middle-aged woman immediately stood up and asked Lei Yin: “Why did you do that?”
“Ask your son about the details, anyway, even if I tell you, you wouldn’t believe my story.” Lei Yin knew that in terms of bickering, elderly women were almost invincible, so he did not want to make any unnecessary dispute.
“What do you mean by this?” She stared at him fiercely.
Yoshikawa came up and said: “Aunt Kanoyama, it’s like this, just now Akito drew doodles on the little girl’s face, thus my friend made such a move on impulse. Please calm down.”
Although she saw the face of the little girl on Lei Yin’s arms was indeed filled with drawings, Kanoyama Akina loudly said: “Who can prove that it was Akito who did it? And even if he did do that, that’s just children’s quarrel. But you, as an adult, actually threw a kid into the pond, don’t you feel ashamed?”
“Although, according to the law, the criminal sentence on juvenile delinquency was lighter than adults. But, there was no difference on the effects on the family of the victims. In the news, it was often said that, in recent years, the juvenile crimes in Japan are steadily increasing. It seems like the main reason is the lack of good parenting.” Lei Yin put on a social commentator tone.
Kanoyama Akina was like a cat being stepped on its tail, screaming out loud, “What do you mean by this? Are you trying to say that our Akito lacks parenting?”
Seeing Lei Yin’s mouth twitched slightly, Yoshikawa knew he would definitely speak harsh words, so he hastily went in front of her and said: “Aunt Kanoyama, both were wrong, and since this is Giyon festival, let bygone be bygone.”
At this time, Takeda Yifu opened his mouth: “Yoshikawa is right. Now we are celebrating Gion Matsuri, no need to make it big, just let it go. Quickly change Akito’s clothes.”
