They all have special skills

Toy cars are also in the restaurant, to prevent children from disturbing other guests while dining, as a precautionary measure.

It’s okay to give it to customers directly afterwards. Small toys bought in wholesale are not worth much anyway.

The two of them slowly withdrew their gazes from Qingshui Ai who was smiling happily at the side, and fell on each other at the same time.

There was an unspeakable silence that followed.

Finally, Shimizukawa, who couldn't stand this atmosphere anymore, spoke first.

"Senior sister..."

Kasumigaoka shook her head and interrupted him.

"What is your relationship with that person?"

Swallowing what he wanted to say, Qingshuichuan replied,

"It's okay, Fengchuan is my colleague at work, that's all."

"Did you meet when you first started working here, or have you known each other for a long time?"

"After starting work here, she came a few days later than me, and I was responsible for helping her get familiar with the work environment."

Kasumigaoka narrowed her eyes.

"What's her full name?"

"Toyokawa Shoko..."

"Toyokawa Shoko, Toyokawa Shoko..."

Kasumigaoka whispered the name and shook her head again.

"Do you have a crush on her?"

"I've already said that she's just my colleague at work."

"Heh, man... he didn't deny my problem."

This woman is so difficult!

"No! I only have a colleague-level view of her. I definitely don't have the same feelings towards her as I do towards you, Senior Sister!"

Shimizukawa made his point completely clear, which caused Kasumigaoka Utaha's questioning progress to slow down slightly.

Her eyes slowly closed and opened again, looking at him meaningfully.

Qingshuichuan then sighed and continued slowly,

"Besides, didn't you see she was wearing a mask, Senior?"

"What does this have to do with masks?"

"The problem is that she wears a mask all the time except when she's eating and drinking, giving off a cold and distant look.

She is very resistant to interacting with others, including me. Doesn't this explain the problem?"

"Haha, the way she waved goodbye to you just now was not like what you said."

"Anyone with eyes can see that she is saying hello and goodbye to love!"

"Whose daughter is the question love?"

"My... mine."

"Look, this is the conclusion."

Kasumigaoka Utaha had a fake smile on her face.

Qingshuichuan lowered his head helplessly and sighed.

Utaha Kasumigaoka probably also realized that she was a little emotional now.

So she suppressed her inner dissatisfaction and grievance, controlled herself a little, and returned to her usual calm state.

"You actually noticed something was wrong yesterday, right?"

She was standing so close just now and saw the change in Qingshuichuan's expression after Ai called him mother.

Although he was surprised, the speed with which he adjusted his expression was astonishing, making it seem as if he had predicted this a long time ago.

Qingshuichuan nodded,

“…That’s right.”

He didn't want to lie to Kasumigaoka about this.

Dissatisfaction began to brew in her heart again. Kasumigaoka took a deep breath and suppressed it again.

"Why didn't you explain it to me yesterday?"

"I just had some perceptions and guesses, and haven't confirmed it yet, so I wanted to wait until I'm sure before telling you... But no matter how much I guessed, I never thought that Ai would be directed towards Fengchuan..."

Qingshuichuan paused, and suddenly an idea came to him.

"Senior, do you think it's possible that he loves her like a child, so he habitually calls every girl he meets 'Mom'?"

"..."

Kasumigaoka didn't answer him, but just pressed the service bell on the table.

"Please wait...what do you need, sir?"

Miyakoshi Hua ran over. Even though she knew that the girl in front of her was Qingshuichuan's friend, she did not act rudely and was very service-oriented.

"Please give me a lemonade."

After Kasumigaoka Utaha finished gently telling her what she wanted to order, she glared at Shimizukawa again, and then added her own request in a friendly manner.

"Add more lemon juice, triple... no, quadruple the amount!"

"Got it! A glass of super sour lemonade with extra lemon!"

Gong Yuehua still had the same smile on her face.

Having worked as a waitress for so long, she has seen all kinds of food requests from customers.

She even encountered strange requests such as having steak sticky with sugar and specifically asking that pasta be cooked medium-rare.

At the moment, this eating habit of liking sour food is completely normal in her eyes.

"..."

After ordering, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked quietly at the Shimizu River.

Qingshuichuan also understood at this moment and waved along.

"Love, come here."

He half hugged Qing Shui Ai and pointed at Gong Yue Hua.

"Come, call someone."

Qing Shui Ai smiled sweetly and spoke crisply.

"Hello sister!"

"Oh hello hello!"

Gong Yuehua squatted down and shook hands with the child. She was so touched by the cuteness that she couldn't help but look towards Qingshuichuan.

"Who is this child? Isn't he too cute?"

"Haha...it's really cute..."

Qingshuichuan answered a few words perfunctorily.

Then he let Gong Yuehua leave.

"..."

"..."

Shimizukawa held Shimizu Ai in his arms, hiding his head behind her to avoid Kasumigaoka's eyes which had become more dangerous.

His idea just now was completely urgent.

Although Qingshui Ai is still young, she won't be silly and call everyone "Mom" everywhere she goes.

"It suddenly occurred to me. Let's follow your previous line of thought and continue with the experiment."

Kasumigaoka took out her cell phone and tapped something on it.

"Love, can you help me?"

"Okay, Shiyu's mother!"

"..."

Kasumigaoka paused.

Qingshuichuan also slowly raised his head.

he asks,

"Ai...why did you suddenly call...Shiyu mom?"

With a name.

Qing Shui Ai tilted her head to look at her father, her clear eyes full of doubts, she thought he was so weird.

"Didn't Daddy tell me that when there's only one mom around, just call her mom.

If there are multiple mothers present, you should call out their names to avoid making a mistake! "

"...!"

The store is now air-conditioned and not hot at all.

But for some reason, Qingshuichuan was sweating profusely and felt increasingly uneasy.

Shimizu Ai's words convey two important messages.

First, Shimizu Ai has many mothers, which means Shimizu Kawa has many lovers.

The second is...

According to Shimizu Ai, she did not call Toyokawa Shoko "Shoko Mom" ​​in front of Kasumigaoka.

Since there is no name, it indirectly indicates that Shimizu Ai's biological mother seems to be Toyokawa Shoko.

----

"...That... identification between her and me, it seems unnecessary."

Because she was concerned about the presence of Shimizu Ai, Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't make her words very clear.

After obtaining more information, she gradually discovered that Qingshui Ai did not look like her.

Although her hair is black like hers, it is not blue like Toyokawa Shoko's.

But you have to know that Shimizukawa's hair is also black.

Considering genetics, it is quite normal for Shimizu Ai to inherit her father's hair color.

"A glass of four times stronger lemonade, please enjoy it slowly!"

After Gong Yuehua served the drinks, he also took the French fries and toys from the table next to him.

Then she waved friendly to Shimizu Ai and turned away with a smile.

Wait until she is far away.

Kasumigaoka, who had been suppressing her anger, stood up instantly, holding the drink in her hand.

Seeing this, Qingshuichuan hurriedly took Qingshui Ai in his arms to the side, but he himself had no intention of hiding.

But the expected scene of being splashed did not appear.

After thinking it over, Kasumigaoka Utaha closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and sat down.

At this moment, Qingshui Ai, with the mind of a child, still didn't understand what was going on.

"Shiyu's mother, how can I help you?"

The child is innocent, the child is innocent... Although she is not my biological child, she calls me mom...

After repeating it in her mind over and over again, Kasumigaoka Utaha forced a smile towards Shimizu Ai.
