They all have special skills

What if it wasn't fake?

Did she just let it go so easily?

Then what about my previous series of reactions?

Ignore Kasumigaoka's thoughts.

Eriri looked at Shimizu Ai beside her and pursed her lips slightly. Although she was helpless, she had no choice but to accept it, right?

She remembered what the child said when he first saw her, and thought to herself that she would be responsible for her future self and keep her word and buy her milk pudding, the best kind.

Sighed softly.

She looked towards the Qingshui River.

"What are you going to do next, Chuan?"

Shimizukawa leaned close to Eriri's ear and whispered,

"Originally, I discussed with my senior last night whether or not we should take Ai for a paternity test today...but now that I think about it, Ai is quite familiar with us and even knows about our situation, so it doesn't seem necessary."

Of course.

The most important thing is that Shimizu Ai has no identity in this era, so even if she wants to do a paternity test, it is not easy to do it. After all, the hospital will require relevant identity information.

Spending money may solve this problem, but if you really want to make it so troublesome, you might as well put your time and energy into how to make love return to the time when it should belong to her.

"Then... I heard Chuan say before that her biological mother, who loves her, has been identified. Are you planning to... tell her next?"

This question hits the mark.

This is also the most troublesome choice that Qingshuichuan is currently facing.

"Do you... think I should tell her?"

Qingshuichuan did not intend to give them the right to choose, he just wanted to hear their opinions.

Volume 62: Chapter Are We Your Wings? + Close to Love’s Biological Mother ()

It's past seven o'clock.

Night falls.

Qingshuichuan hugged his two legs and walked on the way home.

Qingshui Ai put her arm around his neck and excitedly waved the balloon she had just gotten from McDonald's.

He was humming something, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was singing some unknown song that belonged only to the future.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, and Sawamura Eriri.

The two of them followed the father and daughter.

One in front and one behind, separated by a short distance.

His expression was calm, he stared silently ahead.

The last question that Qingshuichuan asked in the store just now.

Neither of them gave an answer.

Maybe they don’t know how to answer.

Maybe they know but don't want to say it out loud.

No matter which one it was, Qingshuichuan felt that there was no need to continue asking.

Perhaps this is something that only you can think about silently and make the decision on silently.

When we were just a few hundred meters away from the rental apartment, we passed by a supermarket.

Qingshuichuan thought that his refrigerator was probably almost empty, so he thought about going in to buy some vegetables.

Just now at McDonald's, the little thing Qingshui Ai seemed to be eating a lot.

But the other three people, each with their own thoughts, did not eat anything.

I just ordered a drink at Kasumigaoka to quench my thirst, but the drink alone was not enough to satisfy my hunger.

"Chuan, you take Ai back first. Eriri and I will just go get some groceries."

Kasumigaoka Utaha came close to Shimizukawa, smiled and held Ai's little hand.

Behind her, Eriri Sawamura looked up at the woman, her vigilance extremely high, wondering if there was some malicious intention behind her suggestion!

In short, I just wait and see what happens and don’t say anything.

Shimizukawa also seemed surprised. He looked at Kasumigaoka, then at the silent Eriri, and his gaze stayed on her a little longer.

Until Eriri smiled at him.

After realizing that Eriri was fine, Shimizukawa was still a little worried.

"Is it okay for you two to go...?"

Kasumigaoka smiled and said,

"What's the problem? We're not in love. We're still cute kids."

"I'm not a kid!"

Shimizu Ai protested angrily.

The three of them chuckled again.

Ying Lili came up,

"It's okay, Chuan, you've worked all day, right? Just go back and rest for a while, take a hot bath or something. I'll go grocery shopping with this... with her."

Considering that Shimizu Ai was present, Eriri paused and changed her impolite way of addressing the stinky woman in black stockings.

"If there's anything you'd like to eat, just tell us directly."

"I understand. I don't have anything special I want to eat, and I'm not particularly picky about food. You can buy whatever you like."

Qingshuichuan shook his head, but Qingshui Ai on his shoulder raised her hand high.

"Me! I want bear cookies and milk pudding!"

"Yeah, if you're good, I'll buy it for you!"

"Thank you, Eriri-san!"

"...!"

Once again, I was struck by the little girl's extremely friendly and joyful gaze without any impurities.

Ying Lili's heart softened a little for a moment.

Although she is not a real mother now, she has somewhat experienced the joy of being a mother.

She slowly reached out her hand.

Qingshuichuan understood and half-knelt.

Let her touch her daughter's head smoothly.

"Mmmmm~hahahaha..."

Shimizu Ai smiled innocently.

Eriri's eyes also brightened slightly.

It was similar to the situation when Shimizu Kawa first met Shimizu Ai.

For the first time in her life, she felt that children were so cute!

"Okay, we'll go back first. Please be slow when you come back later."

"Ah."

Kasumigaoka and Eriri waved their hands gently and watched the father and daughter walk away in front of the supermarket.

Then, the two of them looked at each other.

Eriri was the first to look away and walked into the supermarket without saying a word.

Kasumigaoka followed her, walked side by side with her, put his hands behind his back, and said slowly,

"It's been a while since you've been so honest and open with each other. Let's talk."

Ying Lili glanced at her and turned her gaze away with disdain.

"It's been a while. I can't remember when the two of us ever truly opened our hearts to each other."

Kasumigaoka tilted her head, a look of nostalgia on her face.

"Really? I remember it very clearly. When we were at the Qingshui family and were being trained by grandma, I felt like we sometimes worked together quite well."

Eriri was unable to refute as her memories of the past were brought back.

At that time, when I faced Grandma Qingshui, I didn't know why I felt an invisible intimidation...

Or perhaps it was the aura that made them dare not reveal their true nature carelessly, for fear of giving her a bad impression.

Therefore, during those few days, the two of them were as well-behaved as they could be.

Following Grandma Qingshui's expectations, they became close sisters and cooperated sincerely on many things.

"...That was because I was forced to do so due to the influence of external circumstances."

"Which means that no matter what our true feelings are, what happened is correct."

"..."

Eriri was silent. She took a shopping cart and pushed it towards the merchandise section.

Kasumigaoka still followed closely.

"Okay, I sent Chuan away on purpose. What on earth do you want to say?"

"Ha ha……"

That laughter again...

It's like she's mocking everyone in the world as being stupid, trying to show off how smart she is!

Ying Lili was upset and decided not to ask since she didn't ask.

However, Kasumigaoka obviously knew Eriri's temper, so she didn't hide it anymore.

She spoke directly the next moment.

"Eri, do you think a person's destiny can be changed?"

Eriri, who was pushing the shopping cart, stopped and glanced at Kasumigaoka beside her.

Not only did he call out my name directly, but he also asked such a profound question at this complicated time...

Kasumigaoka looked back at Eriri's gaze calmly without backing off.

After a moment, Eriri withdrew her gaze and slowly walked towards the snack area again.

"Why are you asking this question all of a sudden? Are you almost done with your campus romance light novel and want to start the conception process for your next light novel, which will be in the sci-fi, future, or something like that?"

"Although I do have some ideas about developing other themes after finishing this novel, they have nothing to do with the question I just raised."

"Oh? So you just want to discuss something as grand as human destiny with me? I'm just a picture book author. Seriously? If you really want a good answer, wouldn't it be better to discuss it with those smart and well-educated people?"

"Okay, stop talking in such roundabout ways. I don't think you don't understand what I mean. Now that there's no one else around, and Chuan isn't here either, I think we can be more honest with each other."

Kasumigaoka picked out a dozen eight-packs of milk pudding, saw that there were no messy additives on the ingredient list, and the date was also shortly after it was produced, so she put it in the cart.

Ying Lili looked at her like this and spoke slowly,

"...Before I answer, I'd like to hear your thoughts."

"My thoughts... To be honest, I believe that a person's future can be changed through their own efforts and choices."

After giving a simple answer, Kasumigaoka said no more and just looked at Eriri quietly.

"Excuse me, can you lend me that for a moment..."

Other customers in the supermarket passed by them.
