After the call was connected, she heard her daughter's voice on the phone.
[Mom, did you bring an umbrella today? Did you get caught in the rain? ]
Kirori's tone sounded a little worried.
In fact, her daughter was indeed much more careful than her. Haibara remembered that after they separated yesterday, Kirio seemed to have reminded her to bring an umbrella, and she mentioned it again this morning.
But Huiyuan still didn't remember it.
"…………No, Mom brought an umbrella. She will pick you up this afternoon."
Even though it's a lie.
Not only was she caught in the rain, but she was also taken home by a strange woman she had just met in the morning, and she took a shower and changed clothes at her home.
Of course, she didn't want to tell Kirio about this kind of thing.
[Have you had lunch? Eat a good lunch, or if mom comes to pick me up early, I will make it for her. ]
She hasn't had lunch yet.
Huihara subconsciously glanced at Miss Liang and saw that Miss Liang had almost prepared lunch and was carrying the dishes to the dining table.
So Huiyuan stood up and helped Miss Liang to bring the dishes to the table while talking to Kirori:
"I...will pick you up this afternoon. Is everything okay with Aunt Hong Shang?"
Now, her daughter is temporarily living in the home of her childhood sweetheart.
[Aunt Hongshang is very nice to me, but I don’t quite understand some of what she says…]
"What?"
Huiyuan was a little confused.
[She said that she doesn’t mind that you already have a daughter…will she treat me like her own daughter in the future?]
To be honest, Huihara didn't quite understand either.
My childhood sweetheart has been quite confusing since they were young. If I had understood her, we wouldn't have become so distant later.
But the general meaning should be that Hong Shang will take good care of his daughter, right?
"What then?"
[Aunt Hongshang cried while looking at me, saying that I don’t look like my mother… but I obviously do look like her. I will comfort Aunt Hongshang later.]
"Oh... then you have to listen carefully to Aunt Hongshang."
Huibara felt that her daughter was probably better at comforting people than she was, so she decided to leave it to Kirio.
While she was chatting, Miss Liang was still slowly setting the table, but after seeing Huibara on the phone, she suddenly had some other ideas.
After confirming that Kirori was alright for the time being, Huihara lowered her head and thought for a while:
"That...Kiri."
【Um? 】
Huibara's tone was unusually uneasy, but she still maintained her adult composure, with only her eyes slightly lowered.
"This time, Mom's interview might be..."
She also failed the interview this time.
She might not be able to find a job as a high school teacher before her daughter goes to high school.
Although she felt a little bad, she still wanted to confess this to Kirori.
[It doesn't matter. I just want to be with you. Everything else is fine. As long as you are happy...]
On the phone, before Kirori finished speaking, Ms. Liang suddenly reminded Huiyuan:
"Lily, it's time to eat."
The woman said gently.
On the phone, Kirori's tone became somewhat confused:
[Mom, did I hear it wrongly... Why is there another woman's voice? ]
Huiyuan was stunned for a moment.
"I...I was eating outside and there were other people around."
She couldn't explain to her daughter why she went to a strange woman's house. It would be bad if her daughter misunderstood.
At this time, Miss Liang picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of omelette, and put it to Huihara's mouth.
Huibara subconsciously opened her mouth and ate it.
Miss Liang looked at Huibara with a smile, and watched her eat slowly, and it seemed that her mood also became happier.
Seeing Miss Liang's smile, Huihara's face felt a little hot for a moment, and she lowered her head slightly embarrassedly.
[………Am I thinking too much? Then remember to pick me up in the afternoon. ]
"Uh-huh……"
[Then bye, love you~]
"I love you too."
I don't know why, but Huibara felt a little guilty.
After that, Huihara hung up the phone and looked at Liang who had already sat down.
"Sorry, you don't have to wait for me."
The other party seemed to be waiting for her to finish the call, Huihara said embarrassedly.
"It's okay. I want to wait for you to eat together. Come and try it."
Liang held his cheek with one hand and looked at Huibara gently, while Huibara picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Although it was just lunch prepared for unfamiliar people, it was very sumptuous... Some of the dishes were new to Huiyuan and seemed not suitable to be eaten with rice.
But there are some things that Huibara likes, such as the grilled ribs with grilled scallops in garlic sauce.
It's still raining outside, which makes people want to eat something to warm their stomachs.
After eating a few bites, Huibara sat there, distracted for a while.
These dishes...are just to her taste.
Although everyone thinks delicious food tastes good, Huibara thinks that the taste of these things is just right.
Ms. Liang is a very suitable person to be a wife...
Then, Huihara discovered that Miss Liang seemed to really like taking care of people.
He would even offer to feed her.
Do you think of yourself as a child?
Huihara felt that the age difference between herself and the other party might not be that big. At least Miss Liang looked young and beautiful.
Although Haibara herself likes this kind of care from a beautiful older sister.
Are there really such good things in the world?
After failing to find a job, he was picked up by a strange, gentle older woman and taken home. He took a bath and ate at the older sister's house, and is now being fed by her.
Huihara knew that she was not the attractive type.
She looks ordinary, not ugly at most, but other than that, she looks gloomy and boring. Huibara really can't imagine why the other party treats her like this.
While being cared for and being cared for in this way, Huibara finished her meal.
Liang seemed to have no appetite, or maybe she wasn't hungry in the first place, she just drank there alone for a while.
"can you drink alcohol?"
Miss Liang asked, shaking her wine glass.
"know a little."
She usually drinks by herself, but never with others. For her, drinking is a self-entertainment thing, so she may not have a good alcohol tolerance.
"Do you mind having a drink with me?"
"……OK."
Since Miss Liang said so, there was no reason for Huibara to refuse.
The woman poured her a glass of wine, which seemed to be light yellow, but without bubbles and exuded the aroma of wine. Huihara had only drunk beer or clear sake before, and had never seen anything like this.
I took a sip and it tasted bitter, spicy, and had a strong alcohol flavor. The rest seemed to have a slightly fragrant and sweet taste.
After drinking with Miss Liang for a while, Huihara temporarily adapted, but felt a little dizzy.
Although he was always gentle when he was with her, Huiyuan felt that after taking her home, he had been very happy but a little depressed.
I don’t know why I’m happy, and I don’t know why I’m sad.
Next, Huibara didn’t know what to do.
In a while, once the clothes were washed and dried, she could leave, but other than that, what else was she supposed to do while being taken care of by Miss Liang?
"Were you... talking to your daughter on the phone just now?"
Miss Liang suddenly asked.
After drinking, her face turned slightly red, adding a touch of charm that belongs to a mature woman.
"Well...she's staying at my friend's house and she's a little worried about me."
After hearing this, Miss Liang opened her mouth, as if she didn't know what to say.
But Huihara felt that the other party seemed a little lost.
why?
Maybe she saw it wrongly, Huihara didn't understand.
After taking another sip of wine, Miss Liang seemed to have mustered up her courage and asked in a somewhat sad and hoarse tone:
"Are you... married now?"
"marry?"
Huiyuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head:
"I am not married."
She still looks very young now, and doesn't look like she's old enough to get married, otherwise she wouldn't be unable to find a job.
Although there is no connection between the two.
"……No?"
Liang subconsciously tightened his grip on the wine glass, his expression changed from calm at the beginning to a little uncalm:
"You haven't even gotten married yet, and you gave birth to a child for him? And he left you alone?"
When she thought of the girl in front of her, wandering around the city with her child looking for a job, even she couldn't keep calm and became furious.
Huiyuan was a little frightened, but still asked in confusion:
"…What him?"
She couldn't understand why Miss Liang was angry.
Miss Liang seemed to be a little drunk, her fair face was flushed, and her eyes were a little red. She covered her face with one hand and murmured to herself with a tearful voice:
"No, it's my fault... I found you so late, otherwise you wouldn't have been deceived by the men in this world..."
Huiyuan recognized every word that was said, but she couldn't understand when they were put together.
But she seemed to have reacted.
"I have never been married, and I have never been cheated on."
Huiyuan clarified.
The originally angry Miss Liang blinked, feeling that something seemed to be wrong:
