Travel through the daily life of the dragon clan

Chapter 549: My mother-in-law really wants to introduce her daughter-in-law to another boy

It was another similar day. It was dark from the morning and the sky was cloudy with white clouds.

The rain that should have been falling from the setting sun was hitting the ground, the thunder was roaring, and the bad weather that seemed to make even the iron frames of the windows shake was still continuing.

"It's the fourth day."

Speaking of spring, the recent temperature is still relatively warm. Because the weather continues to change, Sachiko, who is sitting with Zero, turns on the air conditioner that has not been used since spring.

Zero's eyes fell on the book he had just started reading, then moved to the courtyard outside.

The garage with a roof. The messy grass that was so green that it seemed to drip. The trees in the same situation. All of them cast deep shadows. It created an atmosphere that made people feel uneasy.

"Gauze..."

Thinking that silence was also scary, he tried to talk to Sa Chiko, but was drowned out by the sound of thunder.

Goose bumps appeared all over Zero's body under the silk robe he wore. The navy blue robe with gold embroidery had a languid and luxurious solemnity, but it didn't suit him very well.

Seeing Sa Chiko accompanying me day and night, this room, everything...

Zero stood up from the sofa where he was sitting and moved closer to Sa Chiko's side.

"It's okay, Rei-chan. There are always lightning strikes in this area, so lightning rods have been set up around this resort. And...even if it hits us, it won't have any effect. Lightning usually favors those who show off, and our house is not that outstanding."

Zero just smiled bitterly at the words that were accompanied by a gentle smile, because it was neither a good word nor a bad word of comfort to Zero.

After only a few days of separation, Ling already felt an alienated and disoriented feeling, which was completely different from what he had seen when Zhuo was here.

It wasn't Sachiko's fault, it was himself - Zero knew this very well.

Even the 'bitter smile' was just an expression in her heart. What appeared in front of Sachiko was a cold woman standing there without saying a word and without any expression.

"I think……"

"Ok?"

Sachinko stopped rummaging through the drawer and continued squatting, looking at Zero.

"I want to go out for a walk."

"Eh?"

"Sorry, forget it."

"Ehhhhh?"

Zero thought that the decision would cause trouble, but when he was about to give up, he heard more exclamations. Sa Chiko was standing up with her hands on her calves, and Zero reached out to her, but she pulled him into her arms all of a sudden, which was a bit unexpected for Zero.

"No, no, no, I don't mean to be troublesome~ Ling-chan suddenly wanted to go out and play with mom, and I was a little overwhelmed... Hey, Ling-chan, do you want to go with mom to meet cute girls? Hmm - it should be boys, handsome boys. Don't worry, leave it to mom!"

"?"

Zero thought that his eyes were no longer cold at this moment, and probably clearly expressed the meaning of "What are you talking about?" Although he planned to go out for a walk, and he really wanted Sa Chiko to accompany him, the reason was that he didn't want her to leave his sight so that he could protect her. Now it seems that this is not the meaning at all in the eyes of others.

"That's right! If Zhuo knew about this, he would definitely be jealous and would probably lecture her harshly. Really, who is the mother after all? Not cute at all!"

Sa Chiko 'understood' Zero's astonishment, and after thinking with her chin pinched, she analyzed their current situation.

Then she vividly knocked her left fist on her right palm, and Ling seemed to see a light bulb suddenly light up above her head.

"Just don't let him know!"

"I……"

"I understand, I understand. Ling-chan will keep it a secret too, right? Cool, cool, cool~ Don't worry, mom will introduce many cute boys to you to entertain you. Leave it to me."

Even if Sa Chiko patted her chest to make a promise, it wouldn't really put Zero at ease. In fact, it would make him even more distressed.

But Sa Chiko didn't even give her a chance to speak and pushed her back to the room.

Originally, he was thinking of explaining things to her after she calmed down, but after seeing Sa Chiko open the drawer under the wardrobe, scanning inside with shining eyes, and holding up a pair of underwear with both hands to show her, and threatening to "let mom change Zero-chan into the winning panties," Zero was finally frightened and compromised.

She also almost understood why Zhuo was unable to do anything to Sa Qianzi.

……

Izu is a beautiful hot spring city surrounded by the sea on three sides.

This area is full of low-lying hills and streets at the foot of the hills.

However, among wealthy Tokyoites, this countryside is famous as a holiday resort, or a resort hot spring complex.

In spring, the mountains are covered with flowers, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. In summer, there are waterfalls with a long history for tourists to relax. In autumn, the falling leaves are like rain, which makes people feel excited. In winter, the whole world is quiet. This is a land with four distinct seasons. When you visit it during the tourist season, it has a beautiful beauty that is pleasing to the eyes.

At the foot of the mountain, houses of different sizes painted with various colors were built along the street.

Compared to Tokyo, where every inch of land is valuable, the land price here is quite cheap, so building a villa here is something that everyone is happy to do.

For the sake of convenience, most people choose to build villas on the street. Those who build houses elsewhere will be regarded as weird.

It is springtime and green in Izu.

Beyond the foothills, there is a small cottage standing quietly beside a small lake that is often overlooked in this tourist area.

To put it in a more romantic way, this is a house with a lot of old-time charm.

But to put it bluntly, it is just like a run-down house that has been abandoned. In fact, even if we use the euphemism "like", this place has indeed been abandoned, and the couple Sa Chiko and Shuichi are the ones who maintain this place now.

Passing through the slightly faded white archway and into the courtyard flooded with weeds and unknown wild flowers, you can see a panoramic view of the cottage.

The red brick walls seemed to be in a dilapidated state due to not being repaired for a long time, and the tiles on the roof were full of cracks. It should have been in good order, but now it was in such a desolate state.

Not far from the entrance, you can see a swing covered with ivy that no one can probably push.

This is proof that there was once a child in the house, but it also shows that the child has not been here for a long time.

"here it is……"

"It's the house where boys and girls fall in love! Although it was also our previous house."

The girl thought that it might be because she was not Japanese, so she couldn't understand the inverted sentence in which the first sentence was excited but the second sentence was casual.

Normally the reverse should be correct.

This is what the girl is thinking at the moment.

Girl walking on the grassy path.

For convenience, her golden hair was tied into a bun, and a pure white ribbon was tied on her soft light golden hair. The dress decorated with ribbons wrapped her slender body.

The silk skirt swayed rhythmically with her steps. She wore sky-blue boots because of the long rain, and held a large umbrella in her hand as she walked through the white archway without a threshold.

As she stepped into the courtyard, a breeze suddenly blew around the girl.

The rain became slanted.

The red, yellow and brown fallen leaves seemed to be dancing, spinning and flying around the girl.

The branches and leaves knocked down by the rain fell like a curtain, disrupting her vision. The girl suddenly clenched the handle of the umbrella in her hand. She muttered something in a daze, and the sound was softer than the sound of the rain, silently melting into the air.

After the mischievous wind stopped, the person she was walking with passed her first, walked to the entrance without hesitation, stretched out his hand wrapped in a black glove and opened the door.

The door was opened.

It was decorated like an old-fashioned wooden house from the 20th century, and there were even things like closets inside, but it didn't burn anymore.

After a while, the face of a man with black hair popped out from behind the sofa.

I don’t know if he just woke up from sleep, but in any case his disheveled clothes and appearance don’t seem suitable for welcoming guests.

Seeing the girl next to Sa Chiko, the man showed a somewhat surprised expression.

Her appearance was so different.

Or maybe it's too amazing.

Whatever the reason, he held his breath for a moment.

"Sha...Sha Qianzi Bo——sister."

"Hehe, that's right. Here! How is our daughter, Utsunomiya Rei? Are you satisfied?"

Sa Chiko's sharp eyes flashed across her face, and then she pushed the girl in front of her as if showing off a toy, her fingers gently sliding over the girl's ribs. The silk dress that was forced to fit her skin could no longer hide the girl's exquisite curves.

"You, you are... today's girl?"

"…I am Utsunomiya Rei, daughter of Utsunomiya Sachiko."

The beautiful girl with blonde hair and blue eyes seemed to have walked out of a fairy tale. At this moment, she did not show a friendly smile, but answered in a clear and pleasant voice.

The man looked at the girl named Utsunomiya Zero as if he was frightened. She looked as beautiful and quiet as a doll.

The turquoise eyes covered with golden eyelashes are like the light from the bottom of the sea. The cherry-colored cheeks appear on the milky white skin, and the cherry lips are stunning and attractive even without makeup.

A girl who is flawless and as bright as the full moon.

If she hadn't been able to blink, she would have been seen as a mere spectacle, the man thought.

The owner of the room, Sa Chiko, withdrew her hand from secretly tickling her daughter, and pushed the girl to sit across the sofa as if nothing had happened.

"How about black tea? Mumu Sijun~"

"It's delicious."

When the man called Mumushi heard Sachinko's question, he did not raise his head.

"Is that so? How about our daughter? Are you satisfied?"

"To be honest... I'm a little confused. Well, it's a little different from what I imagined."

"Is there anything that doesn't meet your requirements?"

"No, request or anything..."

“Oh my, come to think of it, I’m troubled too. This girl may look acceptable, but she’s not a sociable person. She didn’t have many friends at school, and she stayed at home even after graduation. Shuichi and I are worried about her. What will happen if she can’t get married?”

“Eh? Ah? She, no no no, Ms. Utsunomiya…”

"That's right~ I've graduated from high school for more than two years, so I can definitely marry her~~"

"No, no... That's not what I wanted to say... No, forget it."

"Hehe, why are you saying that? I asked your mother to entrust you to come here. I will do my best to satisfy you, as I'm the cutest woman in Izu. Measurements, personality, academic performance, hobbies, all are fine. Please feel free to ask!"

The girl held the tea tray in one hand and sipped the tea without saying a word. Her jewel-like blue eyes observed Sa Chiko's profile and finally confirmed the fact that "her mother-in-law really intended to introduce her daughter-in-law to another boy."

……

The chat lasted for two hours, after which they did not go back.

Although she said it was to change her mood, Zero probably guessed that Sachiko actually planned to introduce other boys to her.

But before that, I need to rest, so I lead her into the bedroom and prepare to rest.

Although this was his plan, the first thing Zero did was not to lie down and rest, but to clean up the bedroom.

This room, abandoned by Sa Chiko and used for blind dates, was filled with clothes thrown randomly and furniture covered in dust lying on the floor. In short, there was no place to stay.

Zero stared at her with his speechless blue eyes.

His eyes seemed to be saying, "Are you planning to rest in this situation?"

"It's okay, it's okay. The sheets and pillows should be changed and washed regularly!"

This is definitely not a house where you can rest in peace. Since moving out, except for the living room where we occasionally meet like just now, the condition of the rooms, toilets, and bathrooms that are rarely used is not optimistic.

Even so, Sa Chiko can still point to the bed proudly, which is really amazing.

"Mom, I think Zhuo will develop a character of just getting by, and you are partly responsible for this."

Zero said this, pulling out a white frilly apron from the bag he was carrying and began to actively pack up.

This took a day.

"This is where Xiuyi and I first lived. This is the home he built for me."

Noticing that Zero had entered a trance again, Sa Chiko took Zero's hand without saying anything and said to her, "I'll take you to have some fun."

Even so, Zero had pretty much guessed what she was talking about.

The two began to visit the house and the surrounding area.

"As you can see, all these flowers, plants and trees in front of us are the result of our hard work. This house was also built by Xiuyi and I. Zhuo was conceived and born in this house. When he was born, he was different from others. He didn't cry or make a fuss. He first looked at me, then at Xiuyi, and finally looked around quietly."

The two stood under the eaves, and the rain hit the roof and flowed down.

"The purpose of this place is to be a home for two people. Perhaps we have never considered Zhuo. He was born so extraordinary that he attracted the attention of God."
