In the anime, who is not a childhood sweetheart?

"..."

Tohka said nothing, looking away, looking worried and lost again.

When she did this, Yuan Qianye felt inexplicably anxious and wanted to comfort her, but due to the relationship between them, he didn't dare to do anything too extreme.

So I could only slow down my voice as much as possible and be more gentle.

"If you're worried about Mom, there's absolutely no need to worry. After all, medical care is very advanced nowadays. If Mom insists on regular checkups, there's no need to worry too much."

Shihua lowered her head even lower, and waited for a long time before replying in a very soft voice,

"I'm not worried about that... Didn't I just say that? I went to the bathroom just now and saw Mom coming out. Her expression wasn't right..."

She paused, her tone becoming uncontrollably sad.

"...Mom's eyes were red at that time, and it was obvious that she had been crying."

Touka, don't speak in that tone at a time like this...

The palms on the bed slowly tightened.

Yuan Qianye took a deep breath.

"So, you think this wasn't part of their original plan. Does it count as an accident?"

"I think that's right. Although Mom smiled at me before, it was too forced. She was just forcing a smile so that I wouldn't notice anything unusual."

Since the eldest daughter who has lived with her mother day and night for more than ten years said so, it is probably true.

The rain outside the window is still falling, and it is getting heavier.

At this point in the situation review, some things could not be resolved by just talking between the two of them.

"I understand. In short, don't worry. It's useless for the two of us to just guess here. Tomorrow, we will divide the work. I will be in charge of Dad's side, and you will be in charge of Mom's side. At least we can figure out the situation first. As for the rest... we can talk about it then."

Yuan Qianye looked at Shihua's depressed mood and finally couldn't help himself. He reached out to her with some distressed hands, hugged her in his arms, and gently patted her back to comfort her.

Touka, who was in his arms, opened her eyes wide at first, very surprised by his action, but at the same time she felt another kind of indescribable sense of security.

Her stiff body gradually relaxed, and she rested her head on Yuan Qianye's chest, letting out a soft "hmm".

Family is like this...

When we encounter difficult or sad things, we comfort each other like this...

This is normal.

With this thought in mind, Shihua slowly placed her hands on Yuan Qianye's waist, and gently pinched the corner of his pajamas with her fingers, rubbing it gently.

I always feel that after being hugged by him like this, I can calm down easily.

That night, Yuan Qianye unsurprisingly couldn't sleep.

Half of it is because of my mother's current situation.

The other half of the reason was that Touka, who had no blood relationship with him, showed off her cool pajamas tonight without any defense.

And after hugging her, the unforgettable soft touch and faint fragrance.

----

Early the next morning.

It's still raining.

The atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Yuan Qianye got up at around six o'clock.

I took the initiative to prepare breakfast.

When Runzi's mother got up at half past six and came to the kitchen, she was quite surprised: "Qianye, why are you..."

Yuan Qianye turned back with a smile, holding a long spoon in his hand: "I've been quite free recently, so you occasionally let me help out around the house. Mom, you should get some more sleep. I'll be in charge of breakfast during this time."

When Runzi heard this, she immediately shook her head: "How can this be possible? Not only do you have to go to class every day and teach Rikka her homework, but you also have to practice kendo to prepare for the upcoming competition. I'm already too busy to handle it all. How can I let you worry about the housework? Let me do it."

Runzi's mother didn't notice anything unusual and walked over to take over the work from her son.

Fortunately, Shihua also walked out of the room and came over. "Okay, Mom, you've been busy at home and the store all day. Just treat today as a temporary day off. It's okay for Qianye and I to prepare together."

With her help and persuasion, Runzi's mother was finally pushed out of the kitchen.

But even so, she did not go back to her room to rest as they said, but went straight to wash up.

Yuan Qianye coated the peeled shrimp meat with a thin layer of flour and threw it into the oil pan to fry.

Then he turned around, cut the oranges, put them into the food processor and blended them to squeeze out the juice.

He was busy preparing breakfast and lunch boxes for his parents.

And Shihua, who had promised to help, had been quietly sticking her head out from the kitchen door and looking towards the bathroom.

Yuan Qianye blew on the shrimps that had just been taken out of the pot to cool them down, then came to Shihua and held them up with his hands so that she could taste them.

Shihua chewed her food and nodded in affirmation.

"How is it, did you observe anything?"

"Well, Mommy retched twice while brushing her teeth just now."

"That's normal. When do you plan to talk to her formally?"

"Well... later, after you finish cooking, find a chance to go back to the room and I will talk to my mother alone."

"it is good."

At around seven o'clock, Yuan Qianye finished his work, took off his apron, looked at Shihua, nodded silently, and then turned back to the room.

From a God's perspective, he saw Touka nervously following her mother to bring the prepared Hayasaka to the table.

He looked obviously panicked and tried to say something several times, but nothing seemed to come out.

Junko's mother also noticed that something was wrong with her, and at one point she put her palm on Touka's forehead, apparently to test whether she had a fever.

At this time, Yuan's father also woke up and came to the living room.

Their private time was broken, and Tohka was completely deflated.

Yuan Qianye walked out of the room helplessly, leaned over to Shihua and whispered, asking knowingly: "Have you talked to your mother?"

Shihua held her forehead and said, "I want to say it, but I don't know how to say it."

Yuan's father, who was standing by, smiled and said, "You two have such a good relationship every day."

"hehe."

Just smile for a while now, I'll talk to you alone later.

"Let's go wake up Rikka so we can have breakfast together."

"Ah... um."

Father Yuan spread out the newspaper and looked at the two people leaving, quite puzzled.

It’s just to wake Rikka up, is it necessary for two of us to do it together?

In the girl's boudoir, Yuan Qianye and Shihua flashed in.

Rikka was completely unaware of this and continued to sleep soundly.

After taking a look at her, Yuan Qianye casually covered her with a blanket.

The sisters of Takanashi all sleep in the same way. They both like to wear very cool clothes and they have to match their clothes. Their white thighs exposed are too dazzling.

Although Rikka is a fool, she is Touka's younger sister after all. As a girl, her physical and facial advantages are still very prominent among her peers.

"Shihua, you have to speak up and ask your mother clearly." Yuan Qianye instructed in a low voice.

Touka took a deep breath, "I know... but even though I know... it still feels weird to ask my mother about this."

"Come on, didn't we agree last night that you'll be responsible for figuring out Mom's specific thoughts, and I'll be responsible for Dad's. I can only rely on you. We can't let Rikka do it, right?"

At this time, Liuhua kicked her calves and the quilt that had just been covered was kicked away again.

He slowly turned over and continued to sleep soundly.

Seeing her like this, Shihua also realized that for the sake of her mother and the family, it seemed that she really had no choice but to rely on herself.

"Come on, you can do it!"

"Well...I can do it..."

Yuan Qianye held Touka's hand, intending to encourage her.

But the two of them realized it later and looked at each other's hands, and the next moment they quickly let go of each other's hands, and then looked away uncomfortably.

Touka: "Then... after breakfast, I'll just tell her I don't have classes today and go to her shop with my mom, and then find a chance to ask her about it."

Yuan Qianye: "Me too. I'll go to the store with my dad later and wait for your news. I'll see what to say next."

In order to dispel the awkwardness, he took the initiative to come forward with a fist and said, "Find out why Mom is sad. Let's try to resolve this matter today."

Touka blushed and bumped her fist with his: "Yeah."

The two returned to the living room.

Gen's father put down the newspaper in his hand and asked: "Where's Rikka?"

"She wants to stay in bed for a while longer. Don't worry about her. Let's eat first."

"Oh, that's how it is."

After finishing breakfast, Touka took her lunch box and went out with her mother according to the prepared words.

Before leaving, Yuan Qianye secretly clenched his fist towards her to encourage her.

A little later, he also set off to the bar with his father.

At half past eight, Rika slept until she woke up naturally.

He walked out of the room and called out his brother and sister's names one after another, but received no response.

After walking around the house, I found that I was indeed the only one at home.

The brief confusion ended and she gradually became excited.

Although she didn't understand what was going on, no one was paying attention to her today. Did this mean she could play games to her heart's content?!

----

Around 11 o'clock in the morning, Yuan Qianye received several long messages from Shihua.

It turns out that she is quite reliable.

Runzi's mother was indeed panicked last night after finding out the pregnancy result in the bathroom.

This was completely unexpected.

Considering that the family's current financial situation is not optimistic, although she is a little reluctant, she intends to follow a rational decision.

After that, I went to a hospital for a checkup. Once I confirmed that I was pregnant, I gave... gave...

This is why Shihua saw her mother's eyes were red last night.

In the message, Shihua also specifically stated that her mother had repeatedly told her not to tell anyone else in the family.

But even so, she still told Yuan Qianye what she had learned.

Now that the situation was clarified, Yuan Qianye naturally would not let Runzi's mother decide such an important matter alone.

So he came to his father who was mixing a cocktail, asked him to put down the cocktail glass in his hand, and said directly: "Mom is pregnant."

In the next few minutes, Yuan Qianye witnessed the whole process of his father going from being stunned, to his lips trembling slightly, his expression becoming extremely complicated, and finally showing joy.

Yuan Qianye laughed silently, thinking the same thing as himself.

He saw how much his parents loved each other, so how could they let financial problems lead to such a sad result?

At twelve o'clock noon, after all the customers left the store, the bar hung a sign saying it was temporarily closed.
