I have bound two systems.

"It doesn't matter what I mean from the beginning to the end. Like I just said, I neglected Kazusa a long time ago because of work and couldn't always be with her. So even if she is facing a relationship crisis now, I really don't have the face to act like a mother and make decisions for her. In the final analysis, this is a matter between the two of you. My thoughts are just thoughts after all, and I can't influence your attitudes and decisions.

But, the reason I specially asked you to come here tonight was not to argue with you about right or wrong. I just wanted to know your thoughts thoroughly and try to see if we can reach a consensus that is acceptable to both parties. After all, only by reaching a consensus can we establish a trusting relationship, and I can safely hand over Kasa to you. But after listening to what you just said, I instantly realized that my expectation would be dashed, but this is not a big deal.

As for what I think of you, if I speak from the perspective of Kazusa's boyfriend, I really hate you. You made my daughter sad and cry, and this kind of thing is unforgivable even for a mother like me who has a weak sense of responsibility.

But if you look at it from another angle, my feelings just now are completely contradictory to this. You are undoubtedly very much to my taste. Although you did something bad, at least you did it openly. You did not deliberately conceal it, but chose to speak frankly. In my opinion, this is more or less commendable. "

After finishing her words, Touma Yoko shrugged her shoulders.

The tea was originally poured for Chisato Suzumiya, but he hadn't drunk it yet. The water temperature had dropped, so she took it without hesitation and took a big sip to quench her thirst.

Since Miss Yoko said so, I will just take it as a compliment to myself.

Suzumiya Chisato thought shamelessly.

"So, Miss Yaozi is to me now..."

"Well, I am just like my precious daughter. We both love looks. Even though you did something unforgivable to her, in my opinion, you two are not married. Even though you have been dating, it is only at the purest stage and you have not officially had sex..."

Touma Yoko raised her eyes and pursed her lips to think for a moment. Suddenly she remembered that she had not formally communicated with her daughter about this matter, so she sent a confirmation to Suzumiya Chisato.

"You haven't really taken that step yet?"

"…We kissed, but not the thing you mentioned…"

"That's enough. Before you make a bigger mistake, you bravely chose to confess. In society, this behavior is like a criminal who understands his fault and surrenders to the law enforcement agency. According to the law, the person who surrenders will undoubtedly receive a certain degree of forgiveness. Do you understand what I mean?"

Suzumiya Chisato tilted his head to look at Touma Yoko's hand on his shoulder. To be honest, he was a little confused.

The other party seemed to have said a lot, but the meaning was not clear. He did not dare to speculate rashly and misunderstand his meaning, so he could only test it carefully.

"It seems I understand a little bit."

Got it, but not much.

Touma Yoko raised the hand that was placed on his shoulder, slightly bent her index finger, then released it and lightly tapped his forehead.

"Let's be frank. Putting aside other factors, I don't hate you based on my personality. After all, I think it's the nature of men to be fickle. I've seen too many men who have a wife at home and many mistresses outside. This is not something that is absolutely unforgivable. Once discovered, the man can be sentenced to death.

What's more, my ideas are different from those of most people in society. In a sense, it can be said that I truly uphold the idea of ​​gender equality.

If I were to put myself in Hesha's shoes..."

Touma Yoko was halfway through her words when she saw Suzumiya Chisato's uncomfortable and erratic look. She realized that her words seemed a bit ambiguous and had some inappropriate connotations that could easily lead people to misinterpret the situation. So she urgently changed her words.

"If I encountered something similar to what happened to Hesha, I would never act like her, worrying about gains and losses. I would think more freely. Since my boyfriend has other women outside, I would just learn to do the same as him. He plays his games outside, and I play mine outside. Isn't this way both of us are happy?

Haha, what's that expression on your face? I never gave this advice to Hesha. She has a completely different personality from me and she absolutely cannot accept such a thing. You know that, don't you? What I said is just my own subjective feeling. "

Suzumiya Chisato breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, Ms. Yoko, what you mean is..."

"I already have a general idea of ​​what happened between you two. It's up to you guys to decide how things will develop from now on. Kazusa is already that old, and it's time for her to take responsibility for herself."

Touma Yoko got up and sat on the sofa, then picked up the TV remote control.

"I have finished talking to you. You can do whatever you want next. You can go back directly or go upstairs and knock on Hesha's door to ask for her forgiveness. It's up to you. I want to watch TV now. Please don't disturb me for now."

Suzumiya Chisato stood up with her hands on her knees, bowed and thanked Touma Yoko sincerely and earnestly.

Although her words seemed to be spoken casually, he understood that as Kazusa's mother, she had already made too many concessions.

"I don't know what the final outcome will be for you and Kazusa, but keep going, boyfriend."

Touma Kazusa looked at the TV that was already turned on, and waved her hand without turning her head, signaling him to leave quickly and not disturb her.

Anyway, things seem to be going much more smoothly than expected.

Between the mother and the daughter, it seems that the mother has been defeated?

Chisato Suzumiya thought silently.

No, the key point is Kazusa's side. Miss Yoko is now like a paid referee. On the surface, she seems to be maintaining neutrality and watching the development of things quietly. But as long as Kazusa does not choose to forgive herself, she will definitely stand on her daughter's side without hesitation. There is no doubt about that.

It's far from time to relax.

------

Touma Yoko gave two options, either go back directly or go to the second floor to try to see if he could communicate with Kazusa.

Chisato Suzumiya had been to this big villa several times, so it was not unfamiliar to her. After leaving the living room, he walked up the stairs and came to Touma Hesa's room.

As he knocked on the door, the half-open door was pushed open.

There was no light in the room, but with the help of the lights in the corridor and on the roadside outside the window, one could still see the situation in the room clearly.

There was a pure white carpet in the middle of the room, a desk was placed next to the windowsill, and on the bedside table there were two opened bottles of energy drinks and some snack bags. Overall, it was quite tidy and not messy.

As expected, pajamas and underwear were not scattered everywhere.

Chisato Suzumiya's gaze finally fell on a certain place. The person he had been thinking about day and night was sitting on the edge of the bed with his head lowered, his hands on both sides of his body.

The sudden opening of the door did not cause her to react, as if she had already anticipated Chisato Suzumiya's arrival.

In fact, she had just heard the conversation between the two people coming to an end in the stairwell, and she hurriedly ran back to the room and made such a gesture.

"Hesha..."

Suzumiya Chisato whispered her name, and although she was not allowed to enter, she still walked in and came in front of her.

When the other party did not respond, he had to move closer, kneel down on one knee, keep his eyes level with hers, and boldly try to hold her hand.

Touma Kazusa put her hands behind her back. She reacted to the other party's actions and could no longer remain silent. She looked up at him with a cold face and reluctantly.

Although she was very angry now, it was incredible that after not seeing each other for nearly a week, when she saw him at this moment, the first thought that came to her mind was not to punch him, but to throw herself into his arms without any worries.

This bad guy has deceived me for so long!

What on earth was I thinking!?

Touma Hesa's chest heaved violently, and her expression became dangerous, as if she would open her mouth and bite down at any moment.

Seeing her like this, Suzumiya Chisato's mouth twitched slightly and she withdrew her hand awkwardly. It was understandable that she would react like this. Indeed, what he did was too much and he did not explain it clearly to her before.

All the mistakes that were made due to hesitation will eventually be paid back.

Suzumiya Chisato looked at Kazusa silently for a while, then lowered her eyes consciously. When her Adam's apple rolled and she was about to say something, Kazusa spoke in a slightly hoarse voice,

"My mother once told me that if you meet a man who speaks sweet words, you should stay away from him, because such people often have bad intentions and impure thoughts."

This is true. Although it is not clear what Kazusa wants to express by suddenly saying this, now is the time for him to beg for forgiveness from the other party, and he must go along with the other party in everything. Therefore, Suzumiya chose to agree.

"Indeed it is."

"But I forgot my mother's advice and let my guard down, allowing someone to take advantage of me. As expected, when you, a despicable fellow, approached me, I should have kicked you away!"

As Touma and Sa spoke, they gradually became more and more annoyed.

Things had come to this point, and Suzumiya Chisato simply stopped being euphemistic and simply sat directly in front of her.

His next move startled Touma and Sa, who were already angry.

Her ankles were suddenly grabbed by Suzumiya, who then lifted her up, with her white soles placed directly on his chest.

"That's true. I'm a despicable guy, so if just kicking me can make Kazusa calm down, you can kick me as much as you want. I won't hide."

"What a joke, you guy, do you think I'm kidding you now?"

The temperature of the other person's palm was clearly transmitted through the skin contact. Hesha felt that her originally despairing emotions suddenly showed signs of revival the moment she felt this touch.

She was unwilling to accept this situation and was annoyed by the other party's sudden action, so she struggled hard.

But Suzumiya Chisato did not let go as she wished. He hoped that Kazusa could vent all her inner emotions and reveal all her inner dissatisfaction, and then talk to her about what to do next after she was able to calm down a little.

It's just that the two people have different ideas, so disputes are inevitable.

In the fierce confrontation, Touma Hesa, who had been deeply hurt by Chisato Suzumiya's actions these days, began to breathe rapidly, and the suppressed negative emotions broke out like a flood that broke through a dam in an instant.

She exerted force uncontrollably and the accident happened.

"Oh!"

With a muffled sound, Touma Yoko, who was secretly observing the situation inside the room, withdrew her prying gaze and slowly covered her mouth.

Hesa stopped moving when she felt something on the sole of her feet. Looking at Chisato Suzumiya, whose nostrils were bleeding dark red, she instantly understood what had happened. The hostility around her suddenly disappeared, and she became extremely quiet all of a sudden.

Although Suzumiya Chisato felt pain, it was within his tolerance range. He also followed what he had said before and would not dodge no matter how the opponent kicked him.

"Please continue."

After he said this, he resumed his sitting position. It was only when the blood from his nostrils flowed all the way to his lips that he realized it a little too late.

He wiped it roughly with the back of his hand, looking as nonchalant as if nothing had happened, which made Touma and Sa feel a little sad.

The current situation doesn't seem like the two of them are really breaking up and never seeing each other again, so how could she not feel heartbroken?

She picked up her pillow and threw it at him, not using much force this time, giving the impression that it was more symbolic than an actual action.

Afterwards, she suddenly stood up and walked towards the door. Suzumiya Chisato didn't understand what she was going to do, but she subconsciously stood up and wanted to follow her.

Touma Kazusa seemed to have anticipated his move. The moment he stood up, she turned around and spoke fiercely,

"Sit tight and don't move!"

This was the first request received from Kazusa after not seeing each other for a week. Whether it was for the reason of asking for forgiveness or atonement, Suzumiya Chisato would of course choose to do as she was told.

Touma Hesa ​​couldn't help but smile when she saw him like this, but she still chose to keep a straight face and not let herself reveal any other emotions that would be noticed by him.

She quickened her pace and walked out of the room, then was stunned to see her mother leaning against the wall in the corridor. When she saw her come out, she took the initiative to hand her the medical box.

Although Touma Kazusa was a little surprised, she took it without saying a word. However, she turned around and took a step, then stopped for some reason.

"Just wipe the blood off with a disinfectant wipe and don't worry about anything else. The wound will heal on its own after a while."

Touma Yoko gave a hint in a very gentle voice, and then continued to teach.

"The nasal cavity is one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body. Don't attack that area again, no matter how angry you are. If you break such a beautiful nose bridge, you will be the one who is sad in the future."

Touma Kazusa still didn't say anything more. She carried the medical box and walked back to the room. This time she closed the door.

You still don’t want me to watch it, really. I can predict the general development of the next plot without continuing to watch it.

Touma Yoko touched her hair and walked down the stairs slowly.

In the room, Touma and Sa turned on the light, and the originally dim room suddenly became bright.

Also with the increased visibility, Kazusa noticed that Chisato Suzumiya, who was accidentally injured by her just now, looked in a more shocking condition than before she left.

She had just asked him to sit still and not move, and he really sat there obediently without moving. Blood was still oozing out of one side of his nostril, flowing through his philtrum and onto his lips.

Touma Hesa ​​pursed her lips and knelt in front of him. She opened the medical box and found the disinfectant wipes her mother had mentioned, then approached him very quietly.

And Suzumiya Chisato also cooperated with her actions very well. Although it was a bit inappropriate to say this, he did feel a lot more cheerful.

This accident made Kazusa calm down and lose her aggressiveness in resisting communication, and he only had to pay a few drops of insignificant blood. This deal was a great deal no matter how you looked at it.

Neither of them spoke. Hesha, with an expressionless face, focused her eyes on one point, wiping the blood stain above his lips with heartache and concentration.

After the blood stains near his nose were cleaned up, Hesha took out another wet wipe and grabbed his hand.

He just casually wiped his nostrils with the back of his hand. Thanks to this action, the blood on the back of his hand has almost scabbed over and is not so easy to wipe off.

Suzumiya Chisato carefully looked at Kazusa's expression and said,

"I'll just go to the bathroom and wash up."

Hesa looked up and glared at him without answering, but she gripped his hand more tightly, the meaning of which was self-evident: she told him not to move.

After understanding what she meant, Suzumiya Chisato stopped talking and let her continue to handle the matter.

When Hesa ​​finished all the work and let go of her hand, Chisato Suzumiya grabbed her wrist.

He Sha looked at me coldly, and her expression was much calmer than before. She didn't show much resistance, but her tone still lacked emotion.

"What happened just now is a lesson for you. Do you want to experience that feeling again?"

"My thoughts remain the same as before. As long as Kazusa can calm down, it doesn't matter what happens to me."

"..."

Touma and Sa felt uncomfortable with him staring at them from so close, so they looked away. They wanted to pull their hands away, but there was no way because he was holding them too tightly.

But at this moment she couldn't convince herself to struggle like she did before. She was afraid that her emotional instability would lead to her attack being too heavy-handed and causing harm to Chisato Suzumiya.

"Hesha..."

The boy's eyes were hot and intense, and his upper body leaned forward, revealing some kind of sign. It was getting closer and closer in Hesha's eyes. Her originally withered and gloomy mood became lively again after she noticed the other person's emotions.
