I have a lot of green plums

Am I such a weakling in my mother's eyes?

Hmm...it does seem quite weak though.

"You didn't tell me, so how would I know what you were thinking?"

Sayuri Sawamura was not to be outdone and started to act coquettishly towards her own daughter.

"Ah, I'm really impressed by you."

Seeing this, Eriri had no choice but to let her puffed up cheeks deflate and a look of distress appear on her face.

"Since you want to know so much, I'll tell you. But I'll only say one side. If you can't hear clearly, I won't say it again."

"En!"

Sayuri Sawamura nodded repeatedly, her face full of seriousness. Her daughter finally decided to open up to her, and even if she didn't say these, she would definitely not miss any details.

"......" Looking at her mother with a serious face in front of her, Ying Lili bit her lip, and after a brief silence, she finally spoke softly.

"What does mom think of 'friends'?"

"friend?"

By the way, Eriri did tell her before that she had made a friend at school. She was so happy at that time that she wanted to visit her daughter's friend the next day to express her deep gratitude.

"Did Eriri have a fight with her friends?"

That's why she looked so listless when she came back today.

If you are friends, it is normal to quarrel.

"Nah."

Eh~ Did you guess wrong again? How embarrassing.

"What is the reason?"

“Yes…Yes…”

The words came to her lips, but Eriri couldn't say them.

"Yes?"

"Yes......"

"Speak quickly, I'm so anxious!"

Seeing that her daughter stuttered for a long time without saying any useful information, Sayuri Sawamura, who was still thinking of giving some advice, became very anxious.

"I took advantage of that guy!"

At her mother's urging, the girl closed her eyes and said loudly. After she finished speaking, she became lifeless as if she had lost her soul.

Finally, she said it, even though it was something she absolutely could not say. Because once she said it, she felt that she might never be able to get along with the boy as a pure friend again.

Woohoo, so sad.

The girl only felt that her heart was filled with sourness at this moment.

"Use?" After being stunned for a moment, Sayuri Sawamura did not choose to comfort her distraught daughter, but said seriously: "Eri, tell me exactly what happened."

What's the point of talking about exploitation? I've heard that young people today are more mature than their generation, but has it really reached such an impure level?

Or is it just her daughter who is like this? In other words, does her child know what it means to be exploited?

Sayuri Sawamura thought a lot in her mind, but in the end she chose to listen to what her daughter said first.

“…Here’s what happened.”

Under her mother's gaze, Eriri told her mother everything that had happened before, including the agreement between her and Igarashi Suzune and what happened today.

......

The more the girl spoke, the lower she buried her head, and finally she curled up in the quilt.

She felt that she was so despicable and a big bad person.

Woohoo~

"Pfft~"

"..."

"Ha ha!"

"..."

"Is it funny?"

Lifting her head again, Eriri looked at her mother with dissatisfaction. What the hell? She had said it so seriously and felt very sad about it, but her mother actually treated it as a joke.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have said anything.

"No, no." Sayuri Sawamura waved her hands and immediately put away the smile on her face. She was afraid that if she continued to smile, her daughter would no longer tell her about her troubles.

"I just think Eriri is so cute."

"What on earth are you talking about?"

Ying Lili asked loudly with a blushing face. Of course she knew that she was cute, but was now the time to say these things?

"I want to ask, how is Eriri feeling right now?"

"Should I ask you or should you ask me?"

She told her so much but got no useful response, and finally she even asked her back.

Her heart was already very confused and sad...

"It seems that Eriri knows about it."

Seeing the girl suddenly in a daze, Sayuri Sawamura had a smile on her face. She thought it was a huge difficulty, seeing the girl looked like the sky was falling.

The result is just the ignorance of an adolescent girl.

"I think Eriri feels sad."

"..." Unable to deny her mother's question, Ying Lili nodded silently.

"If you feel sad, it means you care about that boy too."

Maybe she did make friends with the other person with the intention of taking advantage of him before, but after spending so much time together, a friendship was born between them.

"care......"

"Yeah." Sayuri Sawamura smiled and said, "That's why I feel sad. Eriri has him in her heart."

"My heart..." The hand clutching the quilt involuntarily touched the chest, where there was a beating heart.

After staring blankly for a while and feeling her own heartbeat, the girl's cheeks suddenly turned red.

"I, how could I care about that guy? And don't say those things without permission, he doesn't exist in my heart at all!"

"Oh, really? But why is Eriri's face so red?"

Looking at his daughter's blushing face with a look of mockery, it was so funny to see such a big reaction from just a little teasing.

"I'm not blushing." Eriri retorted loudly, "I don't care, and I'm not thinking about that guy in my heart!"

How could she possibly think about that guy? He was so fickle that she couldn't even hide from him.

"Eh? You don't like him?"

"How could I possibly like him? Not at all."

What a joke, she would never fall in love with that guy, not in this life!

"Don't you even have the affection between friends?"

"Eh?" Eriri suddenly stopped.

"What? I was talking about love between friends. Why are you reacting so strongly, Eriri?"

The smile on Sayuri Sawamura's face could hardly be suppressed.

"Aren't you and him friends? Doesn't Eriri care about and like friends?"

"Okay, okay, I'll leave now. Eriri, you should eat first."

Seeing her daughter's cheeks blushing, Sayuri Sawamura quickly chose to leave. She was afraid that if she stayed here any longer she would be threatened by her daughter's canine teeth.

The room fell into silence again. After an unknown amount of time, the curled-up girl finally lay down.

Ying Lili's little face was still red, and her mother's words made her still shy.

Really, how can a mother bully her own daughter like this? She is so bad.

Caring or something... liking or something... How could she possibly have that kind of feeling for that guy?

Even if she was cursed to fall in love with someone, it would definitely not be him.

It must be so.

After making plans for a long time alone, Si Yue Yuzhi finally lay down on the bed.

Just as he was about to go to sleep, the door of the room was gently opened. He looked up and saw the girl hugging the pillow and looking at him again.

"Come in, Nagisa."

Si Yue Yuzhi invited the girl into the room, and at the same time, he took the initiative to move to the side of the bed, giving more than half of the bed to the girl.

Nagisa Furukawa didn't say anything, she just gently closed the door and walked to the bed holding a pillow.

"Come up quickly." Si Yueyuzhi lifted the quilt again and invited the girl. They had done this twice before, so he was familiar with it.

However, this time, the girl did not climb onto the bed directly. Under Si Yue Yuzhi's gaze, the girl just lay directly on him and hugged his neck tightly.

"Nagisa-chan?"

Subconsciously, he wrapped his arms around the girl's waist and felt the girl's breath beside his ears.

Warm and a little moist.

Even a fool could feel that the girl was not in a very good mood at the moment, let alone him being her childhood sweetheart.

Normally, this girl is very cheerful.

Her cute face always has a warm smile on it, and the two silly hairs on her head make her look even more silly. Even if she encounters troubles, she will not remain silent like she did today.

"What if I catch a cold? My boss will kill me if he finds out."

Si Yue Yuzhi held the girl in his arms, gently turned her over and placed her in the quilt, then covered her tightly with the quilt.

And Nagisa Furukawa didn't say a word from beginning to end. After waiting for the boy to clean up, she stuck to him again, silently.

The thin pajamas transmitted the heat of the two bodies, and the temperature in the quilt gradually rose.

The girl's arms felt really good, warm and soft, just hugging her was very comfortable. However, while it was comfortable, Si Yue Yuzhi also felt very uncomfortable.

Reaching out and caressing the girl's head, Si Yue Yu Zhi sighed, "So it's because of what happened today?"

The only thing that could have caused this girl to become like this was what happened after school today.

The girl did not choose to join his club, but she was afraid that her decision would drive them further apart.

This girl's mind is so easy to guess.

"Yuzhi, I'm so scared..."

With his head buried in April Yuzhi's chest, Furukawa Nagisa said in a muffled voice.

Si Yue Yu Zhi moved his body downwards, his eyes level with the girl's, staring at her: "What is there to be afraid of? Do I look like someone who would abandon his wife and children?"

"Abandoning my wife..."

"Stupid, that's not the point of this sentence." Si Yue Yu Zhi stretched out his hand and pinched Furukawa Nagisa's cheek, saying, "Stop thinking about those things now."

"Hmm...it was Yuzhi who said that."
