My new wife discovered my past.

She knelt on the ground, and the sunlight stretched their shadows longer and longer until they disappeared.

Watanabe Naoko hated herself so much for being powerless at that time. She couldn't do anything...

Watanabe didn't understand why, but he just asked a question and touched his face, and Naoko's eyes became moist, as if they were filled with tears and were about to burst out.

He also held the woman's hand on his cheek and smiled without reservation: "How can it be dirty?

"If Naoko and I left Amami-naka-cho and walked on the street outside, passers-by would definitely think we were siblings.

“And just from the whiteness and moisture of her skin, you can tell that Naoko is a great beauty!

"Even the toes of a beautiful woman are fragrant."

Putting aside her appearance and figure, Naoko Watanabe's skin condition is truly unique and wonderful.

Her skin is delicate and white, tight and not loose at all. There is not a single wrinkle on her body, and even at the corners of her eyes there is no trace of crow's feet, which makes many women envious.

Some of them were even jealous enough to slander and fabricate rumors about Naoko and Watanabe.

Rumor has it that she has skin as smooth and fair as a 20-year-old girl because she often absorbs the essence of her adopted son, Toru Watanabe...

As for Naoko, she was a little dazed for a moment after being praised by Watanabe, and said angrily: "How can Archer be so exaggerated~"

Just as Watanabe reached out to take off her slippers, the woman raised her legs slightly, lifting her feet off the ground.

Watanabe took off his shoes easily, revealing his delicate flesh-pink toes in the air. He could show off his beauty to the fullest, but he felt a little timid and shy, and yet he had nowhere to hide.

Watanabe gently grasped the woman's cool ankles, preventing her from escaping, and guided her into the warm water.

One, two.

Naoko said nothing, just lowered her head and let Watanabe do what he did.

His technique was extremely gentle. He wrapped his hands around one foot, scooped up some hot water and rubbed it from the ankle down, soaking it briefly from front to back, inside and out.

Naoko placed her palms on the instep of her feet and rubbed them gently. She felt that the hands of the boy who was holding her feet as his most precious treasures were warmer than hot water.

"What time will Archer leave tomorrow afternoon?"

Not wanting the situation to become awkward, Naoko asked an unnecessary question.

"Be prepared to go at around 3:00 p.m. There's a train to Kyoto at 4:00 p.m."

"Okay, let's bring some summer short-sleeved shirts this time. Even though it's going to rain tomorrow, the weather is getting hotter."

"The rainy season has arrived...hate it."

If you were to ask where on a person's feet the hardest part to clean is, the answer would undoubtedly be the spaces between the toes.

Filled with annoyance and resentment towards the rainy days, Watanabe Toru aimed at the gap between the big toe and index toe, and when they were not paying attention, he inserted his fingers in and slowly pumped and washed them.

Naoko took a deep breath and used her toes to clamp down on Watanabe's fingers, preventing him from moving at all.

Watanabe lowered his head and stopped moving. After a moment, he raised his eyes and smiled, deliberately saying, "What's wrong? Did I hurt Naoko because I was too strong?"

Ignoring the ambiguity in the beautiful boy's words, Naoko didn't want to think too much about it. She turned her head away and replied sullenly, "It's a little...itchy."

“You’ll get used to it.

"Okay, but Archer, please hurry up...

…………

The last step of foot washing is to wipe the feet, and Watanabe is very good at it.

Let alone the little devil Hoshimi Haruka, what Hidaka Mari likes most is to be served by Watanabe to take a bath, wash feet, apply body lotion and essence to skin care...

Without asking Watanabe why he was so skilled, Naoko, whose face was red from the hot water, went to pour out the water for washing feet and came back with a suggestion:

"Since Archer doesn't leave until around 3pm tomorrow afternoon, I'll make some more sushi and rice balls during the day for Archer to take back and share with his classmates and friends~"

share?

Toru Watanabe felt that there was a high probability that he would be intercepted by Saotome Hazuki and fall into her hands. The best outcome would be to be thrown into the trash can and left to fend for himself.

But Watanabe would not reject Naoko's kindness, nor would he tell her about Saotome.

"I came back just to eat the sushi and rice balls that Naoko made."

"Snitch~"

Watanabe sat on the bed and made no intention of saying goodbye and leaving Naoko's room; Naoko did not politely persuade him to go to bed early or anything like that, but just sat beside him and chatted with her Archer.

They seemed to have a lot to say, and they could never finish talking and couldn't stop.

Considering that Naoko was still on her menstrual period and had just recovered from a severe cold, and had just warmed up her body after washing her feet, if she didn't go to bed, her feet would become cold and she might catch the cold again, so Watanabe persuaded her to go to bed.

We can chat in bed.

Naoko obeyed obediently. She turned over in the bed and the collar of her pajamas was twisted open, leaving a huge gap.

The woman's delicate white neck, exquisite collarbone, and fair skin were exposed to the air. Watanabe stood up and tucked the quilt over her to prevent her from catching a cold. At the same time, he heard the woman under him inviting him:

“I still want to chat with Archer…

"If Archer doesn't mind, could you stay and keep me company tonight?"

The faint fragrance of hyacinth flowers filled his nose, and Watanabe Toru sniffed it lightly, not missing a single bit of the aroma.

"Okay." He said, "I'll go get the bed covers."

The quilt on his bed must have been often taken out by Naoko to bask in the sun. When Watanabe put his nose close to it, he could clearly smell the scent of the sun and the faint hyacinth fragrance on Naoko's body.

Returning to Naoko's bedroom again, Toru Watanabe closed the door and locked it.

After making the bed, Watanabe turned off the lamp on the bedside table and got into his own bed, less than a punch away from Naoko's head.

Just by opening your mouth slightly or breathing a little harder, you can exchange each other's scent.

In the dark night, apart from the sound of drizzle outside the window, the only sound was the quiet conversation between the man and woman on the bed.

"Why are your hands still so cold? Why didn't you tell me?"

During the conversation, Watanabe touched Naoko's hand and expressed dissatisfaction.

Naoko Watanabe did not pull her hand out, nor did she drive away the hand that was attacking from outside the quilt.

Archer's hands were warm, and she liked it: "It's always like this when I sleep. I'm used to it."

"What about your feet? Are they cold even after washing them?"

Naoko Watanabe didn't say anything. She held the boy's hand and curled up to sleep.

Only by experiencing it yourself can you make the most accurate judgment and understand the truest situation.

Watanabe understood this principle deeply. He acted decisively and adjusted his strategy of covering the quilt. He combined the two quilts into one quilt.

With just a gentle hug, he could hold Naoko in his arms. Watanabe Toru had no intention of coveting Naoko's soft body that was as soft as white cotton. After putting the woman's hand on his chest, Watanabe reached into the quilt and touched Naoko's feet.

It was indeed as cold as a stone in winter.

He placed his palms on her instep and palms, placed them on his legs, and slowly warmed them up...

"Does Naoko feel better now?"

"Yeah, it's so hot and comfortable... Thank you Archer..."

The woman rested her head on Watanabe's arm, feeling sleepy all over, causing her to have a splitting headache and become dazed.

"Archer, I'm so sleepy...I want to sleep..."

The hand that was pillowed naturally patted the woman's smooth back. In the warm and happy embrace, Watanabe Naoko fell into the most comfortable dream in the past half month...

◆

Watanabe Toru woke up the next day, still woken up by being tickled.

Unlike Hoshimi Haruka, Hidaka Mari and Saotome Hazuki who acted recklessly, Naoko woke Watanabe up accidentally.

Her biological alarm clock is to wake up at six o'clock every morning, but Watanabe can't wake up so early.

The woman saw that Watanabe was holding her tightly in his arms and he was sleeping with his head buried in her body, so she gently broke free.

If it were someone else, this action alone would have made Watanabe wake up alertly.

But the person who came out of his arms was Naoko, and Watanabe's spider sense seemed to be ineffective.

Holding her head up and looking at the beautiful boy sleeping beside her, Naoko felt contented and happy, but in the end, she was completely swallowed up by worry, helplessness and despair...

In a trance, Naoko did not notice that strands of her long hair fell and brushed Watanabe's face, and then he woke up.

"It's only a little after six, Archer, why don't you get some sleep?"

"...No." Watanabe sat up and closed his eyes tightly to calm his mind: "Rina will definitely ask me to help her put clothes on later, so I better get up."

“That’s true~”

Seeing that Archer was still getting over the withdrawal reaction after waking up, Naoko did not disturb him. She took off her pajamas with her back to him. Her smooth and white back was more beautiful than any other beauty in the world.

Watanabe Toru woke up instantly.

Unfortunately, the beauty only lasted half a minute, and Naoko quickly put on her clothes after changing into light pink underwear.

Watanabe followed closely behind her and went to wash up with her...

While putting clothes on Rina who was humming a song, Watanabe couldn't help but sigh at her abundant energy. However, listening to Rina singing was definitely a top enjoyment.

Watanabe believes that if Rina debuts as an idol, she will definitely become popular in the island country with her voice.

However, if you ask her about her dream, it will unsurprisingly be "to become Toru's new wife". It can only be said that due to her illness, she has no such ambition.

Sister Yuina does have the dream of becoming a new generation singer in the island country. Her vocal conditions are not worse than Konari, so she has a great chance!

Among the three younger sisters, only the little female ghost Xing Jianyao can only scream all day long.

Singing? I’m born tone-deaf!

In the morning, apart from working in the office, Naoko went straight into the kitchen to prepare sushi and rice balls for Toru Watanabe to take back to Kyoto in the afternoon.

Their shelf life is extremely short, so Naoko doesn't make too many and basically prepares a little of each flavor.

It is mainly done for the little kids in the welfare home, and Naoko does not favor one over the other.

But it has to be admitted that Naoko rarely cooks herself, and they all rely on Toru Watanabe for help.

It was drizzling all morning, and it didn't stop until noon. There was a heavy rainstorm in the afternoon towards dusk.
