I have bound two systems.

"You are amazing, using this method to comfort people."

Suzumiya Chisato shook her head and said solemnly,

"Although I was trying to comfort you, I didn't lie at all about your own charm, Sister Xingge. Those were all my true words."

"…There's no need to say this kind of thing out loud!"

"Well...it seems that you have a clear understanding of yourself. Then I feel relieved."

"...Now I know why there are so many romantic relationships around you...I guess a large part of the reason is due to your sweet talk."

“I treat people with honesty and sincerity.”

"Pfft...shameless guy..."

"It's great to see you recover, Sister Xingge."

"Yes, thanks to you... I just asked Hongxia, and she said that it was you who took the initiative to propose and plan the birthday party tonight. Thank you very much, I'm very happy."

"You're welcome...By the way, what wish did you make for your birthday this time, Sister Xingge?"

"This kind of thing won't work if you talk about it out loud... But I can tell you a little bit about it. It's about everyone and the future."

"At such an important moment, why don't you think about yourself first?"

“That’s not necessary.”

Ichichi Xingge shook her head, her eyes extremely gentle at this moment.

"As for me, I will be satisfied as long as I can stay with you all from now on."

Then she sighed lightly.

Even though she had just been comforted by Suzumiya Chisato, the issue of her age was still a thorn in her heart that could not be easily removed.

Suzumiya Chisato looked at her like this and suddenly suggested,

"This summer, I'll book a villa by the sea sometime, and we can go on vacation together to escape the heat."

Chapter 68: Planning for a Baby (Two in One)

Chisato Suzumiya woke up very early that day, getting up at around six o'clock and going into the bathroom to wash up.

Last night he stayed at the Idichi sisters' home and slept in his sister's room.

The reason why he got up so early was not because he didn't sleep well.

Although Yidizhi Xingge's room was a little messy and some clothes were thrown everywhere, it was not dirty. The bed was soft and had the unique fragrance of girls.

He just slept too comfortably last night. Without doing anything extra before going to bed, his strength recovered quickly and he woke up earlier.

"I thought it was Hong Xia. I was just about to tell her not to prepare breakfast. I'll just order some takeout and send it to her door later."

After washing up, Suzumiya Chisato just walked out of the bathroom door and ran into Ijichi Seika who was leaning against the wall with sleepy eyes and greeted her lightly.

She was wearing a cream-colored home pajamas dotted with small flowers. The buttons at the collar were still intact, but two buttons at her belly were loose, revealing her flat belly and cute belly button.

Comparing her posture in front of me with her usual appearance at work, the contrast is so cute that it makes me laugh.

Suzumiya Chisato calmly withdrew her gaze, pointed at Ichichi Hoshige in front of her, and then pointed at the half-open door not far ahead in the corridor.

"You thought it was Hong Xia...but didn't you rest with Hong Xia last night?"

"..."

Yidizhi Xingge thought about it blankly, and then the hair on her forehead suddenly stood up, and she looked like she had realized something belatedly.

"Yes!"

Chisato Suzumiya is both funny and helpless.

"There's still some time before work starts. If you're still not fully awake, you can go back and take a nap for two hours."

"……Too."

Ijichi Xingge yawned, turned and walked towards the room, but halfway through, she turned back.

"what happened?"

Suzumiya Chisato was puzzled.

"Don't ask about girls' things."

Ijichi Xingge didn't answer, but you could tell she understood as she walked straight towards the bathroom.

This little episode in the morning gave Chisato Suzumiya a better understanding of the young lady CEO whom she had promoted, the kind of understanding she had in daily life.

There was still a little bit of birthday cake left from last night, which was placed in the refrigerator. Suzumiya Chisato took it out and had it as breakfast. After eating, he prepared to leave.

After clearing the table, he hesitated between the two adjacent guest rooms, and finally knocked lightly on Goto Ichiri and Yamada Ryo's rooms. After receiving a response, he walked in.

The two of them still looked like they hadn't gotten enough sleep, so after giving each of them a good morning kiss, he left the Ijichi sisters' home.

They can take a break from their busy lives, but he can't.

For men, relaxation always comes after work and responsibilities.

----

"Yinglili."

"kindness?"

"It's common courtesy to stop what you're doing when you're talking to someone."

"Before you say that, reflect on your own behavior of barging into someone else's room without saying hello."

"Do we still need to care about this in our relationship?"

"I will return the same words to you intact."

"You are becoming less and less lovable."

"Thank you. I'm in my twenties now, and I really don't want to be described as 'cute' anymore, even if the other person means no harm."

"..."

The above conversation came from the mouths of Kasumigaoka Utaha and Sawamura Eriri, and the location was the detached small villa that Suzumiya Chisato bought in order to be with them alone, also known as the love nest that belongs to the three of them.

After graduating from university, as expected, Kasumigaoka Utaha continued to delve deeper into the writing industry. She is no longer satisfied with just producing light novels that do not have much profound content to the public.

As she grew older, gained more experience and gained more knowledge, she gradually began to get involved in various documentary and realistic literature, conveying some social phenomena and her own views to the outside world. She is in the process of transforming from a novelist to a writer.

Although this choice caused a significant decline in her popularity and sales of her works, her income is far less than before.

But now that she is not short of money, she doesn't care about the gains and losses in this regard at all.

After all, she cares more about the fulfillment of her own inner world than pleasing the public.

Naturally, since her student life had officially ended and she had officially entered society, she moved out of her home and began to live independently.

Her parents were extremely confident in their daughter, who had been an excellent student since childhood. Moreover, this well-behaved daughter would come back home to stay for one night every week and would take the initiative to talk to them about life and work. In this case, they were not too worried.

As for Eriri, the situation is roughly the same.

After graduation, she chose to enrich her life through painting.

However, as her painting skills became more and more advanced, the work of drawing books and illustrations for others, which used to be her main job, has become a thing of the past.

Most of the work she has on hand now involves drawing high-definition illustrations for anime characters in advertisements or games.

Although she also moved out of home and officially started to be independent, compared with Kasumigaoka Utaha, the "good baby" who was trusted by her family, her situation was not so free.

Before, when Chisato Suzumiya came over and the three of them were taking a bath together in the bathtub, her mother, who was obsessed with her daughter, would suddenly call her to warm her up and tell her to eat more vegetables and to remember to put on more clothes as the temperature would drop tomorrow, and so on.

But even so, it is definitely better than living at home under the supervision of my parents.

"So, what's the matter that you suddenly came to see me?"

Ying Lili stopped painting, took off the blue light blocking glasses on her nose, stood up from the computer desk and stretched.

It can only be said that Kasumigaoka Utaha came at the right time. She had been sitting in front of the computer for more than two hours without moving. Now it was a good time for her to get up and stretch her muscles and give her eyes a rest.

She came to sit beside the bed. Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at her and then spoke slowly.

"I have an idea, and I want to discuss it with you."

"You're being so serious...what's going on?"

"You should be able to guess it."

Kasumigaoka Utaha leaned back, put her hands on the bed, and tilted her head to look at Sawamura Eriri.

Ying Lili looked at her like this, and was silent for a while, then slowly came to her senses.

"No way……"

Facing her incredulous look, Kasumigaoka nodded calmly, confirming her guess.

"Whether it's based on the current situation or the best age for women to have children, I think the time is almost right, don't you think so?"

Ying Lili's breathing became a little rapid, and she looked a little worried.

"But...what about your parents? You have to go home every week, right? If you really do that...how are you going to explain to your parents that you have a baby in your belly and your belly is getting more and more obvious as time goes by?"

"What's there to explain? Just tell me the truth!"

"...!"

"It's just a joke. Don't be so nervous. I certainly won't cause trouble for Qianli now. If that were to happen, my parents would ask us to get married right away, no matter how much they indulge me. They won't allow their grandson to be born as a bastard."

Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled slightly while lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling and continued,

"I have thought about it in advance. If I am really pregnant, I will wear loose clothes in the first three months so that I won't be discovered. As for the next few months... I can tell my parents that I am going to participate in an event abroad with the editor of the publishing house. By the way, I will stop by the local place to learn about the local cultural characteristics and customs, which can be regarded as supplementing knowledge for my writing."

"You guys...are you serious?"

After realizing this, Eriri couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up and paced back and forth, thinking while continuing to speak.

"I have to say that being a writer is really useful. After that, you just need to make sure to keep video calls with them frequently so that they don't worry. After six months, when the baby is born, there will be no other worries. When the time comes, you can just hold the baby in front of them and tell them that this is their grandson. Then, no matter how much they cannot accept it, they will have to face the reality."

"As expected of you, what you said is absolutely right."

"Hey, let me tell you... Although this may satisfy your own desire, your parents will definitely be devastated by it."

"So I have to make this decision while they are still healthy. You know, if you keep looking back, some things will never be completely resolved."

"...How long have you been thinking about this?"

"I had this idea when you and Qianli just graduated. Occasionally, I would even think about secretly making a small hidden hole in the birth control product."

"Hey you!"

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid to do something like this without consulting you and Qianli."

"..."

Ying Lili sighed lightly and sat down on the bed again in silence.

She had thought that Kasumigaoka Utaha might have something important to say, but she didn't expect that her desire to take a step forward would come so suddenly and explosively.

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at her like this and suddenly smiled.

"How do you feel?"

"…If you are really ready…I have nothing to say. I will contribute to your plan. I will help you."

Kasumigaoka tilted her head and smiled in confusion.

"What's with your idea of ​​putting yourself out there? What do you mean by 'you'll help me'?"

Ying Lili's little butt kept moving around, with a rare look of embarrassment and helplessness on her face.

"What do you mean?"

"What do I mean? I should be the one asking you this."

Kasumigaoka approached her, pointing his finger at himself, then at the other person.

"Don't you have any intention of joining in on the idea I just mentioned?"

"Eh! Me?"

"Think about it carefully. This is actually a good time for you to confront your parents. You don't have to be so sneaky anymore. Isn't that good for you?"

"But……"
