They all have special skills

Eriri put her hands behind her back and came out to ask her mother for her opinion.

Mrs. Sawamura sat on the sofa, looking at her daughter dressed up, holding her face with her left hand, and nodded in affirmation.

"Yeah, it's very beautiful. Mommy is almost moved. But the breasts are a little too small. How about some padding?"

The first half of her mother's words was fine, but the second half almost made Eriri lose her composure.

"Mom, whose fault do you think it is that I'm like this?"

After saying that, he went upstairs angrily.

Mrs. Sawamura was left there laughing so hard that she was shaking with laughter.

"My dear daughter, what are you going to do this time?"

After a moment, she called out to Eriri who had returned to her room and was about to go out with her small bag on her back.

Without stopping, Ying Lili came to the shoe cabinet at the entrance and bent down to choose the shoes she wanted to wear.

"There's something..."

"I'm going on a date with Shimizu-kun."

Mrs. Sawamura came over and picked out a pair of round-toed leather shoes for her daughter who was having trouble making choices.

"This is great. It goes perfectly with your lace long-sleeved top and high-waisted skirt outfit today... but the over-the-knee socks are a bit awkward and don't really match."

"Eh? Really?"

Ying Lili had one foot in her shoe, but she immediately pulled it back after hearing her mother's words.

"Wait."

Mrs. Sawamura returned soon with a pair of small white socks in her hands, with a circle of lace at the cuffs.

“Isn’t that too childish?”

Eriri took it and was a little skeptical. These socks looked a bit like the same ones that children in kindergarten wear.

"It might not be suitable for other girls, but it's just right for you.

Occasionally, you need to change your style. You don’t want to remain the same in Qingshui-kun’s mind forever, do you?

It seems reasonable...

Ying Lili no longer hesitated and started to take off her socks as her mother instructed.

"If you're on a date, will you be back today? Do you need mom to cover for you with dad?"

"Mom, this isn't a date..."

Eriri hesitated to speak, but after thinking about it, she simply said,

"It was that guy Kasumigaoka. He called me out of the blue and said she was with Kawa. He also said that if I didn't go over right now, I would definitely regret it for the rest of my life..."

"Regret for the rest of your life?"

"Yeah, that guy was being secretive, but I called Chuan to confirm, and Kasumigaoka wasn't lying."

"What did Shimizu-kun say?"

"Nothing was said. After I confirmed it, I immediately hung up the phone and went downstairs to take a shower."

"Ah, lie, lie -"

Mrs. Sawamura squatted beside her daughter, holding her chin with her hands together.

"very strange."

"What's so strange?"

"Why did Shiyu suddenly call you to come over?

If you were Eriri, would you deliberately think of calling your rival over to cause trouble when you're with the person you like? "

"...!"

It seems so!

Eriri suddenly stopped putting on her socks.

She suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility.

"Mom, Kasumigaoka she...she! Could it be that she has already started with Chuan he...he..."

"That's not right."

Mrs. Sawamura shook her head slightly, denying her daughter's unspoken guess.

“Didn’t you say you’d already called Shimizu-kun to confirm?

From my mother's perspective, Shimizu might be a little... emotionally... but he's a pretty good person. He's probably not the kind of cruel person who would do anything to hurt you.

This can be seen from the fact that he saved you before and returned from the deserted island together. After all, even if he had abandoned you at that time, no one would say anything about it.

Based on the above objective conditions, if it is really as you think, Shimizu and Shiyu have started dating officially.

He would definitely stop you instead of just letting you pass like he is doing now.

So..."

"so……"

Eriri had one foot wearing white socks and the other bare - resting on the floor. She couldn't help but look at her mother, eagerly seeking her next words.

Mrs. Sawamura was no longer anxious at this time, she just smiled.

"Are you not in a hurry to go out now?"

"mom!"

"Okay, okay, so there are several possibilities.

1. Shiyu was not alone with Qingshui.

Second, they may have something that can only be solved by you going over.

Finally... maybe there's something you don't know that I want to announce to you."

Eriri frowned and thought about what her mother said, then gave up after a moment of speculation.

"That's too general!"

"There's nothing I can do. Based on the general circumstances you just described, Mom can only guess to this extent."

Mrs. Sawamura slowly stood up,

"Besides, it's already great that Mommy prepared you, a little idiot, mentally. Instead of thanking Mommy, you're complaining... Really..."

"I know, I know! Thanks, Mom! I'm going out!"

"Think carefully before answering or making a decision. Also, if you come home late at night, remember to call home!"

"Know it!"

"Really? I don't know who this child looks like. Her father and I aren't such reckless people..."

With a disappointed sigh, Mrs. Sawamura turned and walked towards the living room.

----

After listening to my mother.

All the way, Eriri was wondering what evil this guy Kasumigaoka was up to.

Besides Chuan, who else was present?

Did you do something bad that you want to take the blame for?

After finishing the meal, you have no money so you ask to pay the bill yourself?

Ok……

It felt like this guy was the type of person who could do this. After all, his heart was the same color as the stockings she wore everyday, and his personality was quite nasty...

In short, Eriri has always been in this uneasy mood.

After waiting to arrive at the door of McDonald's, I walked in and saw two people sitting opposite each other by the window.

The uneasiness in her heart quickly subsided.

Good thing they didn't sit on the same side...

Besides, there didn't seem to be anyone else.

the most important is……

No matter how much you eat at fast food restaurants like McDonald's, it won't cost much!

Without hesitation, Ying Lili walked over and greeted with a smile.

"Sichuan."

"Yinglili."

Qingshuichuan also smiled.

Eriri's smile has the power to heal people's hearts.

Kasumigaoka was sitting opposite without any reaction, so Shimizukawa moved inwards and made room for him.

Eriri sat down next to him without hesitation.

Qingshuichuan turned his head to look at her, his eyes full of appreciation, and praised her with great emotional intelligence.

"Eri is quite cute today too."

Eh?

Such unexpected and direct praise made Eriri's heart beat wildly and she felt flattered.

After all, before today, Qingshuichuan had never said such words to her.

He seems a little different today... but still very handsome!

"Yes... This is the dress my mother bought me last year. I've never really dared to wear it because I don't think it suits me."

Ying Lili said reservedly.

"You're worrying too much. Eriri is very pretty, so she'll look good in anything."

"...!"

That was just a word about emotional intelligence.

Now this should be considered a straight shot, right?

What's wrong with Chuan today? He keeps saying such direct and bold things...

Eriri blushed as she looked across at Kasumigaoka, only to find that the guy looked indifferent.

Still sneering silently.

These two people...did they have a quarrel just now?

Eriri suddenly realized something.

She began to feel faintly happy, but she kept a straight face and changed the subject.

"Thank you... Chuan, we haven't seen each other for several days."

She counted on her fingers.

"Three days, four days..."

"Five days."

Qingshuichuan found the answer for her.

After the summer vacation began, she stayed at home to paint, while he himself was busy with his part-time job.

It's true that we don't meet as often as we did in school.

"Oh yes, it's five days. I wanted to come see you, but I was afraid of disturbing your work..."

"That's okay. I was thinking of inviting you guys to our restaurant for a meal, and I'd offer service and treat you, but now it seems I'll have to put it on hold for now."

Qingshuichuan took a big detour and finally got to the point.
