"Hey, Lao Deng, is it safe for my will-o'-the-wisp to stop downstairs of your house?"
Then, regardless of the other party's answer, he casually hugged Su Shi and went upstairs, not forgetting to exhale a puff of white smoke from his e-cigarette, and glanced back with a sarcastic expression.
"Your child is so cute. If you only focus on your work, be careful that he will be kidnapped by bad people~"
"Don't worry, she will take care of the baby herself after it is born. You can continue to work and earn money for our milk powder~"
Unbridled laughter echoed throughout the hall, and their figures disappeared behind the closing elevator door, leaving only Su Shi's mother kneeling on the ground in regret. 】
Well, let’s put aside the awkwardness of the scene for now.
Just tell me whether the impact on the spirit is big enough and whether it can make people quit working.
For Nagasaki Suyo, the satisfaction of spiritual needs is far greater than material needs - it is because her mother used the wrong way of love that a girl who is only fifteen years old would run to the homes of boys of the same age every day and do things that are not strange at any time, such as establishing a new family outside.
In troubled times, heavy codes are used, and strong medicines are used for serious illnesses.
More than two years have passed since Su Shi entered Tsuki no Mori Academy, but her mother has not been able to reduce her work and spend more time with her child.
It would be better to teach her a lesson directly, so that she can understand thoroughly that overwork not only brings fatigue, but also makes her a paranoid and loveless girl.
...Of course, every family has its own problems, and Ming Hai doesn't think he has the right to blame a strong woman who started from scratch and gave her daughter a wealthy life.
At most, I could ask her, as a friend of Su Shi, to think carefully about what kind of family affection her daughter really wants.
"Well, there's no point in thinking so much... Maybe she'll come down on her own without me having to look for her and talk to me seriously about her daughter's problem."
Thinking of that scene, Ming Hai couldn't help laughing and was amused by the outrageous idea of the will-o'-the-wisp Lao Deng.
As if she heard his chuckle, Nagasaki Suyo turned her head in confusion, and her vision was directly met with his bright and soft smile.
The warm yellow light spread out like a kaleidoscope, and the noisy laughter from the TV seemed to become pleasant at this moment.
——After preparing dinner carefully, there is someone standing by, watching over me with a warm smile, waiting for me to eat together.
That was the scene that Nagasaki Suyo had always dreamed of, and it was also a beauty that she had not experienced for a long time.
"...Idiot, stop snooping over there."
Unconsciously, she slightly clutched her clothes at her chest and whispered something with a smile and a scolding tone.
——My heartbeat was too loud, and I couldn’t hear the tone of voice I used when I said this.
It could be shyness, it could be helplessness, or it could be that the anger is mixed with unconcealable joy and peace of mind, or maybe it's just pure coquettishness.
No matter what, he would have figured it out, right? ...No, he should have figured it out a long time ago.
That's why he was waiting for me there and was so gentle to me, wasn't it?
As soon as I thought of this possibility, the fatigue brought by the cooking instantly evaporated, leaving only sweetness and happiness in my mouth, making my consciousness fall into a psychedelic dizziness.
"Come and serve the food, Narumi."
As if she was walking on clouds, she walked in front of Minghai with light steps, wanting to take the towel from his shoulders.
But at this moment, I saw the red marks on his neck.
Volume 64: Chapter Chapter Teacher Xiaoxiang, you are in trouble.
Returning to reality from the clouds in an instant, Nagasaki Suyo's gaze was fixed on the small, shallow red mark that looked like a mosquito bite.
Unfortunately, she had just read a full-color girls' comic yesterday.
——The cold-blooded male protagonist in the comic pounced on the female protagonist who was very popular with other boys, and left such a mark on her neck in order to declare his sovereignty.
That is... a kiss.
Nagasaki Suyo's mind calmed down instantly, her face stopped blushing, her heart seemed to stop beating, and the silence was deafening in her ears.
She suddenly wanted to ask Xiangzi out for a meeting to see if there were similar or even more wild marks on her neck or other parts of her body.
"What's wrong? Don't you want me to serve the food?"
Ming Hai glanced at her who was standing there like a statue, and for the time being he didn't realize what was going on with her roller coaster-like change in emotions. Instead, he walked right past her and picked up the hot dish that was still smoking on the cooking table.
Sweet and sour spareribs, looking at the color and aroma, it is clear that they have been carefully researched...
Resisting the urge to pick up a piece of pork chop and stuff it into his mouth, he went to the dish rack and got two sets of bowls and chopsticks - the blue ones he bought, and the brown ones she bought specially to put here, just like the pair of mugs.
Although he knew what the girl was thinking, after all, she was the little cook who came to cook for him for free from time to time, so Minghai was still willing to give her this convenience. It was not a bad thing to let her have a place to satisfy herself.
Just don't leave any personal items like toothbrushes or underwear in there, and put them away for future visitors.
Turning around and preparing to leave the kitchen, he saw Nagasaki Suyo still standing there in a daze. Ming Hai walked back to her with a frown and lowered his head to peek at her expression.
"Physical discomfort?"
Nagasaki Suyo lowered her eyes, turned her head, and slowly grasped her apron with her fingers: "...I feel uncomfortable."
Ming Hai was stunned for a moment, but soon realized what she was talking about.
"Curious about what happened to us today?"
"Ugh."
Nagasaki Suyo suddenly sighed, as if she had calmed down in a short period of time.
Then she looked up at him expressionlessly, her aqua blue eyes like a frozen lake, and asked in a low voice:
"Done?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ming Hai flicked her forehead expressionlessly.
"Fuck you. I knew you would ask that."
"..."
With her head tilted back slightly, Nagasaki Suyo stubbornly did not cry out in pain. She just pursed her lips, stared at him with tears in her eyes, and insisted on getting a definite answer.
——The sense of distance is unbalanced.
At this moment, Ming Hai keenly noticed something strange.
Unlike the girl who had already started to find the right distance and got along well with him at that time.
The current Nagasaki Suyo...or rather, she today, started to feel something wrong before she entered the door.
It's like a crack in the gate of a dam. Even though you're trying your best to hold it back, a trickle of sincerity will still inadvertently pour out.
A thousand-mile long dam is destroyed by an ant hole - and the strawberry mark on the neck is that ant hole.
Get your mood in order?
No, it’s just that my mentality collapsed and I started to give up on myself.
Being able to stare at him quietly like this might be her last bit of modesty?
"I didn't do it... Never mind. I was too lazy to explain it to you."
Looking at the sweet and sour spareribs in his hand, Ming Hai couldn't help but click his tongue and walked out in a somewhat unpleasant manner.
"Let's talk while we eat. It would be a waste if the food looks so delicious and gets cold."
Nagasaki Suyo was stunned for a moment, wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, and jogged to catch up with him.
Her fingertips unconsciously lifted up and pinched the corner of his clothes, applying a little more force nervously.
Like a wet puppy, it follows its owner closely because it is afraid of being abandoned.
Ming Hai paused, and without turning his head, he said: "Now that things have come to this, what are you still afraid of?"
I told her before that I was pursuing Toyokawa Shoko. Isn't it natural that there will be some progress after the date?
It’s understandable that there was a reaction, but this reaction was too great—it was like falling directly from the peak of hope to the valley of despair, not daring to face the reality before one’s eyes.
But the question is, when did I give her unnecessary hope?
Just because he let her into the house? But this is not the first time...
Ming Hai really couldn't understand it. Girls' minds were becoming increasingly difficult to guess.
"I'm not scared."
Nagasaki Suyo said coldly, but her voice was a little awkward and hoarse.
——I’m afraid that Xiangzi will become the mistress of this house and kick me out; I’m afraid that you will never let me in again from today and draw a clear line between us.
How could she possibly say these words? What if he actually nodded?
"It's just... if you really do something to her, the Toyokawa family will be in trouble. They seem to be a very conservative aristocratic family, and the women in the family must remain pure before marriage."
Speaking softly as if nothing had happened, Nagasaki Suyo paused slightly, her long hair covering her red ears, and the rest of her words were so soft that they were almost inaudible.
"If there really is such a need, even if it's not Xiangzi-chan, it should be possible..."
"...No, we have lived together under the same roof for so long, do you still think I am such a shameless guy?!"
Ming Hai was speechless and unhappy. He wanted to take a piece of pork ribs and stab it into her throat to block her mouth that could not spit out ivory.
—If I could really use you as a substitute for a meal, do you think you could still wear clothes under your apron?
"I repeat, I did nothing!"
Ming Hai emphasized solemnly.
"And this hickey must have been caused by her, right? Don't talk to me in such a humble tone, or we can't even be friends."
Nagasaki Suyo raised her head again, took a deep breath, and then said with a little surprise: "It was Xiangzi who took the initiative? Is she such a bold girl... She obviously gives people the impression of being well-behaved and pure. It seems that she knows nothing."
"I'm as surprised as you."
Ming Hai sighed in approval.
——Yes, it is this kind of contrast that makes people feel scary.
No one can imagine the destructive power of Teacher Xiaoxiang's charm. Even if the heart is made of cement, it will probably be melted back into mud in a few moves by her, right?
Even though they are both women, Nagasaki Motoyo may not be able to withstand it herself, let alone an ordinary man.
All I can say is that it's a good thing that she went to a girls' school since she was young and didn't get along with too many boys...
Otherwise, you would be overwhelmed with love letters, and there would be no chance to get the contact information when you first meet someone.
After putting dinner on the table, Ming Hai did not immediately start eating to fill his hungry stomach. Instead, he took out his cell phone and sent a message in front of Nagasaki Suyo.
"Teacher Xiaoxiang, you're in trouble."
-
Yesterday I turned on the electric mosquito coil with the doors and windows closed and almost collapsed from poisoning. This is also the reason why I have been in poor condition recently.
The last few chapters seem a bit watery, and the foreshadowing is almost done. I have to get to the next plot as soon as possible so that Brother Haizi can die sooner and be reborn.
Volume 65: Chapter Chapter This is the calmness of the queen
Speaking of which, the two were so busy discussing what to do if the photo was discovered that they completely forgot how to explain the strawberries around their necks.
Of course, this is also because Ming Hai himself doesn't care... After all, he is different from Toyokawa Shoko. He has no father or mother, no worries, and doesn't need to care about other people's eyes at all.
If I really need to explain it, I can just use the mosquito bite as an excuse. There is really no need to try to cover it up.
And given his physique, the lump that Toyokawa Shoko sucked out with her little mouth would probably disappear by tomorrow, and in theory, no one would notice it.
Who knew Nagasaki Suyo would suddenly come over...
In addition, he also felt that Toyokawa Shoko was a little strange.
——Given Mr. Xiaoxiang’s personality, he should be worried about whether this mark will cause him trouble after planting the strawberries.
In the end, she didn't ask a single question. Now that she thought about it, when she was fixing his collar, she seemed to have even deliberately exposed the place where the strawberries were planted...
"Can Teacher Xiaoxiang be so scheming?"
Ming Hai was very skeptical and didn't think that this simple-minded young lady would understand so many tricks.
In any case, since I have to explain to the gloomy-looking Nagasaki Suyo in front of me, I have to inform Toyokawa Shoko first.
Asymmetric information will lead to misunderstandings, and misunderstandings will easily lead to conflicts. Ming Hai, who is well aware of the dangers of failure, will certainly not dig a hole for himself easily.
...Well, Nagasaki Suyo is an exception.
Even if keeping her around would bring danger to himself, Ming Hai would not cut off ties with her for Toyokawa Shoko before she crossed the line.
Toyokawa Shoko is the target of the mission, the person for whom he will have to sacrifice his life sooner or later, and the girl whom he can't help but care more and more about - but she is by no means everything in his life this year.
