Why are you messing with him? All the animals in Tokyo are his minions.

As long as Shuyue can understand them, it doesn’t matter what Yanzhu thinks.

But now...

However, Araki Sayuri said, "Just prepare the meal and don't think about him when he is not around."

Kanda Yui pondered as she followed Araki Sayuri into the kitchen.

The two continued to work together to wash the vegetables, meat, and fish. While processing the ingredients, Kanda Yui said again: "If we eat it before Shuyue comes back, wouldn't it be bad?"

Although I would reserve food for Shuyue and Yanzhu, I always felt something was not right.

Kanda Yui's biological mother died too early, and her current mother, Tamako, is not good at socializing.

When it comes to etiquette in dealing with people, Kanda Yui can only learn from books or by observing other people.

Although Araki Sayuri seems out of touch, she actually understands these things better than most people.

Araki Sayuri smiled slightly, "We won't have a full meal, but we can make some leftovers or snacks so we don't go hungry."

"Huh?" Kanda Yui looked confused.

"That is, if Shuyue comes home late, we won't have any problems with hunger, and at the same time, we can dine with him when he comes back."

"We can't starve," said Araki Sayuri. "We can't act like we can't live without Shuyue."

"If we act particularly weak in order to gain Shuyue's attention, even if he doesn't mind us being a burden, Madam Yanzhu will do everything she can to get rid of us."

Kanda Yui looked at Sayuri Araki blankly.

Kanda Yui recalled that Sayuri Shinki always had compressed biscuits in her pocket to satisfy her hunger, as if she was always prepared for some unusual situation.

Araki Sayuri whispered, "Eat small, frequent meals throughout the day. You should eat something healthy now to avoid any unexpected incidents while cooking that might cause you to miss a meal."

Although Kanda Yui was confused, she still did as she was told and ate a piece of compressed biscuits cut into small pieces so that she would not be too hungry nor too full.

Less than an hour later, Kanda Yui learned about Sayuri Araki's precautions.

The two of them are already very familiar with the kitchen and can cook very quickly.

Before cooking, they will discuss the steps, divide the work well, try to coordinate the time, and prepare the meal as quickly as possible.

When the soup and dishes came out, two girls, one served the dishes and the other served the soup.

In the past, due to family habits, they always ate cold food.

But after following Shuyue, even if Shuyue didn't say it, they all knew that Shuyue wanted to eat warm food.

Therefore, to preserve cooked dishes, it is not enough to just cover them with plastic wrap.

Araki Sayuri, who had been prepared, took out two sets of tableware and divided the things.

The rest is left in its original state, covered with plastic wrap.

During this time, Sayuri Araki divided out some dishes and she and Yui Kanda each ate some.

After doing all this, the two prepared to go into the house for a nap.

Suddenly, the voice of Mr. Shiro, the head steward of the Shihodo family, came from outside the courtyard: "Miss Araki, Miss Kanda, the eldest lady and Young Master Sun are not back today. Do you need to prepare a meal for you?"

Kanda Yui opened her mouth and was about to say "No need".

But he was stopped by Araki Sayuri, who said with a smile, "Mr. Shiro, thank you for your concern. Yui and I have prepared the meal and are about to ask Uncle Xiaoshan to pick us up and take us to Mrs. Yanzhu's company to deliver the meal."

Kanda Yui's eyes widened.

When did they call Xiaoshan to come back?

But I saw that Araki Sayuri was holding a mobile phone, and the screen showed that the phone had called Shuyue.

Kanda Yui thought that the matter was over at this point.

But then Zhilang outside the wall said, "Oh? Is Xiaoshan back? If not, I can arrange another car for you."

Araki Sayuri was still smiling: "Thank you very much, Uncle Xiaoshan is on his way back."

Zhilang laughed twice and said, "You are really good kids. So, please be careful when you go out later."

"Of course, thank you, Mr. Shiro." Araki Sayuri replied politely.

Soon, the courtyard fell into silence again.

At this time, Araki Sayuri's expression remained unchanged. She put the phone to her ear and said, "Shuyue~ I miss you so much. Do you miss me~"

Kanda Yui silently looked at Sayuri Araki who was smiling like a fox, and couldn't help but complain in her heart: Liar!

The phone's soundproofing was poor, and Kanda Yui could hear Shuyue's chuckle on the other end of the line.

But then I heard Araki Sayuri say, "Hey~ Shuyue, did you hear everything just now? Yui and I have prepared lunch. Can we ask Xiaoshan to pick us up and take us to the company? I know you must be very busy, and we will definitely not disturb you."

Chapter 128 The forest ruled by the young master has awakened

"...I really miss you~ Can you please be affectionate to me when you come back tonight? Hehehe, I will be affectionate to you too~"

"...Really? I love you the most~"

Shinmu Sayuri said with a smile: "Okay, we will deliver food to Mrs. Yan Zhu, and then wait for you to come back in the company's room. Be sure to be good. Well, see you later."

Shinki Sayuri hung up the phone.

As she hung up the phone, Sayuri Araki's smile was like a shattered mask.

Originally, Kanda Yui wanted to say a few words, but when she saw Araki Sayuri's expression, she was instantly stunned.

Araki Sayuri said gloomily, "Yui, pack your things quickly. We are going out. Yan Zhu's mother's female assistant will come to pick us up in a while."

"Huh? Isn't that Uncle Xiaoshan?" Kanda Yui looked surprised.

"Uncle Xiaoshan sent Shuyue to the Aokigahara Sea of Trees. Shuyue said that he would ask Madam Yanzhu to pick us up. We should be prepared and not make Madam Yanzhu angry." Araki Sayuri bit her lip and whispered, "I'm not sure if Shuyue's grandfather has any plans for us, but we should always be on guard."

"Ah?" Kanda Yui looked at Araki Sayuri in confusion.

Shinmusha Yuri said solemnly, "Shuyue and I are just classmates, or more accurately, childhood friends. We've lived here for a long time, and we've been with Shuyue most of the time. But Shuyue has never taken us to meet Grandpa Mingzheng. Why do you think that is?"

Kanda Yui narrowed her eyes slightly, "I accidentally heard the servants talk about Grandpa Mingzheng's romantic affairs..."

Sayuri Araki is already packing her things, getting ready to go out.

At this point, there was actually no need for the two of them to say anything more.

Mingzheng is very kind to beautiful women. He brings all the young girls he likes to his side. The maids and caregivers around him are all his mistresses. They were all chosen by him in his early years and have always been by his side.

Some of them were even the ex-girlfriends of Mingzheng’s two sons.

Bringing my girlfriend home to introduce her to my family, only to find she becomes my stepmother...

This is how Shuyue's two uncles were troubled.

Mingzheng also said righteously that those girls were only after their family's money and were not smart enough to be wives.

Just mixing it up like this...

In the end, Shuyue's two uncles either married women who were too smart to be fooled, or married socialites who were of equal social status.

Araki Sayuri and Kanda Yui couldn't make up stories about Mingzheng behind his back, but they both knew who Mingzheng was.

As Yan Zhu said, their backgrounds were too weak.

Although he could resist Mingzheng, Mingzheng was still Shuyue's grandfather after all.

If the situation gets too bad, it will sow the seeds of disaster for their future.

The only way to avoid it is to refuse to meet with a reasonable reason.

at the same time.

Shuyue, who had been sent to the Aokigahara Forest by Xiaoshan, was facing Aoki An who also drove there. He took out his cell phone and called Yan Zhu.

"...Mom, I'm sorry to bother you at this time." Shuyue's childish voice was very calm, "Please help me pick up Sayuri and Yui from home to the company..."

"..."

"No, it's nothing. Sayuri said she specially made the menu I gave them earlier as a gift to you."

"..."

"Of course they want to honor you, Mom. Don't be like that. Despite their relatively humble background, they respect you immensely... I wouldn't dare..."

"..."

"Thank you for your hard work... Of course... After Inspector Aoki finishes the task entrusted to me, I will come back to the company to see you. Sayuri and Yui are very sensible and will not cause you any trouble... Okay, thank you. See you later..."

……

Shuyue hung up the phone only after persuading Yan Zhu to go home and pick up his two girlfriends.

Yan Zhu will do whatever Shu Yue specifically asks her to do.

But mom is also a woman and needs to be coaxed.

Qing Muan, who was watching from the side, was amazed and couldn't help but say, "Is there a conflict between your mother and your girlfriend?"

"...Hehe~" Shuyue chuckled, "Women are like that. It's just a small matter. I can coax them into peace and quiet..."

Shuyue didn't say much to Qingmu An.

Shinki Sayuri will not disturb Shuyue casually.

While talking on the phone, they pretended that someone with a legitimate name was going to take them away, which was a veiled request for help.

Shuyue believed that even if she didn't let Yanzhu pick them up, Shinmu Sayuri would definitely find a way to solve the dilemma, but there was no need to go that far.

If you want to avoid a falling out with Mingzheng as much as possible, it is best not to give Mingzheng a reason to break up in the first place.

I don’t know whether Mingzheng means well or just wants to do the same bad things he did before.

Anyway, just don't give him the chance to do it.

Yan Zhu could understand what Shu Yue said just now.

Qing Muan didn't understand. He glared at Shuyue, gave her a thumbs up, and said, "You are really..."

It's hard to say.

What Shuyue said to his girlfriend was different from what he said to his mother, but after doing this, everyone got along peacefully. It was amazing, I admired and envied her...

Aoki An felt like he had eaten several kilograms of lemons.

He felt emotional and thought to himself, no wonder he had two girlfriends at such a young age and they were so harmonious. It was all because of his high emotional intelligence.

Shuyue looked at Qing Muan who was full of emotion and couldn't help asking: "...Are you still going?"

Hearing this, Qing Mu An took a deep breath and suddenly became serious, "Of course I will go."

Shuyue took out an umbrella from the car and opened it. He looked up at Xiaoshan who was holding the umbrella for him and said, "Uncle Xiaoshan, please wait here for me to come back. The inspector and I will go into the sea of trees."

Xiaoshan was bewildered, and for the first time, he questioned Shuyue's order, "...Young Master, this sea of trees is too dangerous. If you don't bring tools and manpower, I can't explain to the young lady."

Shuyue was not angry, but smiled and said, "Uncle Xiaoshan, the spring rain has already begun."

Xiaoshan stared, then immediately understood what was going on and made a gesture of invitation to Shuyue.

Shuyue nodded with a smile, turned around and walked along the road towards the sea of trees with her umbrella.

Qing Mu An was confused by what he heard. Seeing Shu Yue was about to walk away, he couldn't help but take a step forward to chase after him.

Xiaoshan stood in the open-air parking lot holding an umbrella, watching Shuyue's young but straight back gradually walk away.

At this moment, Xiaoshan was thinking about what Shuyue had just said.

Yes……

It's raining in spring.

I still remember that some time ago, the young master said that there is a solar term in China called "Qingzhe", which is the third solar term among the twenty-four solar terms.

"Qingzhe" means that animals that hibernate underground begin to move.

Winter is over and all things come back to life. After the Jingzhe season, the temperature will rise, the rainfall will increase, and animals will become active.

This also means that the forest ruled by the young master... has all awakened...
