Chiharu Tokisaka just smiled gossipy: "If you two become a couple in the future, remember me, your matchmaker!"
She stood with her hands on her hips, looking somewhat smug.
Xia Wuzhao simply shook her head and left.
It wasn't until they were on the tram that Xiao Ai finally had a chance to talk to Xia Wuzhao.
She complained, "Lord Natsugiri, you were so careless in the clubroom. You let Asahi Aoi touch the doll! And for so long! The memory chains have completely shattered! If it had only been a fleeting touch, it definitely wouldn't have turned out like this; at most, it would have unlocked a little bit, but she held it for far too long!"
Xiao Ai muttered a complaint: "If you hadn't suddenly remembered to pretend to have amnesia, Asahi Aoi would have gone absolutely crazy."
Xia Wuzhao simply said casually, "But, isn't that how we got through it?"
“It’s just a temporary solution,” Xiao Ai emphasized. “If Asahi Aoi realizes what’s going on, you’ll be in a really bad situation right now.”
"Then let's not let her expose us," Xia Wuzhao replied.
“How could that be?” Xiao Ai said. “After all, Asahi is so smart, she can’t hide it for long.”
Xia Wuzhao said, "Then let's keep it a secret for now. There will always be a way."
"Just like the ending you foresaw, Lady Xiawu?" Xiao Ai countered.
After a long silence, Xia Wuzhao finally said, "Yes."
Xiao Ai asked, "So what exactly is the ending for Kirishima Chiho?"
"A bird with a thousand feathers."
-----------------
Chiho Kirishima returned home.
The driver opened the car door for her, and Chiho got out of the car and went into the house.
Yoshiko Kirishima was seething with anger at the driver's complete disregard for her.
But right now, the most important thing is Chiho; there's no time to dwell on this driver.
She opened the car door herself and quickly entered the house.
Chiho looked around her home; it felt both strange and familiar.
She only just realized how big her house was.
She walked around the house along the wooden corridor and arrived at the back courtyard.
The layout here is very natural, with only the occasional sound of a startled deer striking the stones.
The sound of flowing water was very clear in this quiet space, and she listened to the occasional startled deer and the sound of flowing water.
They just sat there indifferently in the corridor.
Kirishima Yoshiko was in a bit of a hurry when she found Chiho behind her.
Just as I was about to say something, I suddenly didn't know what to say.
She had no choice but to pretend to be her mother and say to her, "Chiho, it's too damp here, let's go inside."
Chiho simply smiled gently: "Don't worry, Mother. I think it's fine here."
Yoshiko Kirishima's lips twitched; she sensed something was wrong.
She racked her brains trying to figure out how to persuade Chiho; she was extremely anxious.
Chiho looked at her and said, "Mom, if there's nothing else, you can go inside. I'll just sit here for a while longer."
Kirishima Yoshiko smiled awkwardly and could only leave.
But as soon as she stepped into the house, her face became incredibly ferocious.
I took out my phone and looked at the messages my friends had sent me.
They were all asking casually about tutoring classes and their daughters.
Even greetings that were not impolite made Kirishima Yoshiko feel dizzy.
"Damn it, damn it."
She cursed loudly, but a growing sense of panic kept rising in her heart.
"Without Chiho, what am I?"
"I am nothing at all, and no one will respect me."
She thought about the courtesies she had received at those high-class banquets and the flattery from those ladies. She felt intoxicated and almost lost in a fantasy.
But if Chiho slips away from me, will I still have this status?
She felt terrified at the thought of that future.
"I absolutely cannot allow myself to be looked down upon by others again!"
"I can definitely do it, after all, I'm married into the Kirishima family!"
She kept encouraging herself and started preparing dinner.
Every night when Toshio Kirishima returned, she would ask Chiho to leave so that she could spend some time alone with Toshio and deepen her position in his heart.
But recently, Chiho has been staying at home, so I've been left with no options.
However, this is also an opportunity that can be taken advantage of.
When Toshio Kirishima returned for dinner that evening, the three of them sat down at the table to eat.
Kirishima Toshio inquired about Chiho's life at school: "Final exams are coming up soon, are you feeling stressed?"
Chiho said, "There's no pressure, Dad."
"That's good then. As a daughter of the Kirishima family, you don't need to feel pressured," Kirishima Toshio instructed Kirishima Chiho.
Chiho nodded, indicating that she understood.
At this moment, Yoshiko Kirishima smiled and said, "How could Chiho possibly be under pressure? She's just incredibly lucky."
Toshio looked at Yoshiko with some curiosity and asked, "What is it?"
"They're lovers," Yoshiko said with a smile. "Our daughter is in love. Guess what she's doing, spending so much time in the office instead of going to her tutoring classes? It's because of her love."
Toshio frowned, then looked at Chiho and said, "You are the daughter of the Kirishima family. Even if you have someone you like in high school, you can't just casually declare your relationship. It's not good for your reputation."
Chapter 141 Like a Sleeping Princess
"Dad, I understand."
Kirishima Chiho spoke softly; she neither objected nor accepted.
He simply responded with a murmur, without any further reaction.
Kirishima Toshio glanced at Chiho and felt that she was different now than before.
She seems to be becoming more like her grandmother.
He thought for a moment and said, "It's not wrong for a girl to fall in love, but you are the daughter of the Kirishima family. You can enjoy being in love, but you can't commit to a relationship with him. You can go on dates, but you can't cross the line."
Toshio Kirishima said, "Do you understand, Chiho?"
"I understand, Dad."
Chiho's answer was once again affirmative; she had no intention of being annoyed.
They simply obeyed.
Toshio was relieved and stopped caring about Chiho's love life.
Chiho simply answered other questions about school.
She glanced at her mother, realizing long ago that her mother had said those things on purpose.
This is a warning to myself, and also a counterattack.
But it's no use, Mom.
She thought this to herself, then lowered her head and continued eating.
Although Yoshiko Kirishima felt it was a pity that the counterattack had not succeeded, she didn't mind.
She still has a backup plan.
Keeping herself encouraged, Yoshiko smiled again.
She kept putting food on Chiho's plate, demonstrating her role as a mother.
Chiho simply smiled and thanked her mother.
However, it was like acting; the smile was too fake and too superficial.
"But the fact that she's willing to smile at me proves that she hasn't become my enemy yet. There's still a possibility of reconciliation."
Thinking this to herself, Yoshiko said to Chiho, "Eat more, it's good for your health."
Dinner was peaceful and uneventful, with nothing major happening.
But after dinner, Chiho had to go out.
Jiazi stopped her for a moment, saying, "Are you going out now? It's too late. If something happens, your mother, your father, and I will be heartbroken. Why don't you come back earlier tomorrow? That way, it will be safer for you to go out."
"She really looks like my mother."
Chiho thought this to herself, and smiled gently.
But she said, "Mom, it's okay. I always go running before, and nothing ever happened."
“But you weren’t running at this time before. And now it’s getting late, so it’s a bit dangerous to go out now. You know, even in Second New Tokyo, it’s not exactly safe. Especially in the mountains, it’s even more dangerous at night.”
Yoshiko's words made perfect sense, and even Toshio, who was listening nearby, thought so.
But Chiho shook her head and said, "It's okay. I'll call the police if anything happens. There won't be any problems, Mom."
She showed her phone and gave her parents a reassuring smile.
I was about to put on my shoes and leave.
Yoshiko didn't want to appear too rude in front of Toshio Kirishima, so she just smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead, and remember to come back soon."
Chiho responded and then pushed open the door and left.
After she left, Yoshiko sighed, "Toshio, look at your daughter. She's completely obsessed with love now."
“There’s nothing wrong with being in love,” Toshio Kirishima said. “How can you not be in love during high school? It’s a necessary experience in life, and there’s no need to stop it.”
Yoshiko said angrily, "You'll regret it when you see Chiho go astray."
Her humming made Toshio Kirishima's expression turn somewhat unpleasant.
As Chiho stepped outside, she ran into the flower delivery person.
Chiharu Tokisaka, seeing Chiho about to leave, called out to her and stopped her.
"Junior, here are your flowers."
She smiled brightly and stopped the motorcycle before taking the flowers out of the box in the back.
After handing the bouquet to Chiho, Tokisaka Chiharu said, "I wish you happiness every day, junior."
"Chamomile, baby's breath, Australian wintersweet, and starflower," Chiho said, looking at the flowers inside after receiving the bouquet.
These flowers are exactly the same as the previous ones, with almost no difference.
The girl looked at them for a while, then smiled at Chiharu Tokisaka in front of her: "Are these flowers for me?"
"Of course it's for you." Chiharu Tokisaka nodded, affirming, "Didn't you already give it to me once before?"
“Last time, I thought it was sent to the wrong address,” Chiho said with a smile. “After all, there’s no message on it yet.”
“How could it be a mistake?” Chiharu Tokisaka pretended to be angry, puffing out her cheeks as she said, “I’m also a student of Midori, and a second-year student at that. So, you should call me senpai or senior.”
She crossed her arms and said, "Would I lie to you, junior?"
“Of course not,” Chiho denied. “But I didn’t order any flowers, and I didn’t leave a message either.”
"This is what the customer requested."
Chiharu Tokisaka, caught off guard, readily uttered these words.
Chiho, feigning curiosity, asked, "Who is that guest?"
But this time, Chiharu Tokisaka smiled and said, "Junior, I can't tell you that. It's the flower shop's rule, and it's also the customer's request."
