The moment Qingshui Ai saw her, her eyes lit up instantly.

As soon as Shimizukawa put her down, she immediately ran towards Toyokawa Shoko and hugged her thighs tightly.

Shoko Toyokawa held her hands in the air, not knowing where to put them.

She was embarrassed for a moment and looked towards Qingshuichuan for help.

"She's just a child, there's nothing to be embarrassed about."

Speaking of words that the little girl couldn't understand, Qingshuichuan didn't seem to come forward to help, but sat on the other side.

"Remember what we just talked about?"

Of course Toyokawa Shoko remembers.

Qing Shuichuan said before that I can understand that you don’t believe me, so the most direct way is to let you meet the person involved.

But there is one thing that needs to be noted. Even if she doesn't believe it, you should at least pretend to be oblivious and not make Qingshui Ai sad.

Toyokawa Shoko didn't take it seriously at the time, but now, seeing this little Lolita being so affectionate towards her for the second time, she hesitated...

Take a closer look...this little girl calling herself mom is so cute!

Her skin is as smooth as white porcelain, her hands are chubby, and she has a sweet scent on her body.

And what's with this inexplicable feeling of closeness...

I really want to hug her...

----

The next twenty minutes.

Toyokawa Shoko went from being in disbelief at the beginning, to being doubtful and half-believing, and finally to being completely shocked!

She used ordinary conversations, interspersed with various questions, to get Qingshui Ai to answer.

The more she listened, the more frightened she became!

Almost...all correct.

Qingshui Ai is still young and can't answer all questions.

But she answered all the questions correctly, such as Shoko Toyokawa's eating habits, how she spent her time on weekdays... and other similar information.

Not to mention, Shimizu Ai also revealed various details about the piano teachings given by the future Toyokawa Shoko as both a mother and a mentor.

Some of these small details are completely consistent with my current habits!

Qing Shuichuan, who was standing by, also got to know her better.

“…Mom, Mom?”

Shimizu Ai waved her little hand in front of the dazed Toyokawa Shoko, but her eyes still looked dazed and unfocused.

Shimizu Ai didn't understand why this happened and wanted to continue pulling at her mother's clothes, trying to bring her back to reality.

Qingshuichuan waved his hand, signaling his daughter to come to him. He picked her up and held her in his arms. He took out a lollipop from her little schoolbag and fed it into her mouth.

The father and daughter waited quietly for a while, allowing Shoko Toyokawa to slowly accept the reality and recover from her shock.

"So... loving her really means... mine..."

Even with such a simple sentence, Shoko Toyokawa still stuttered.

Qingshuichuan nodded,

"If you still don't believe it, there is a decisive way. With the current level of medical science, it's very easy to figure this out, isn't it?

If you feel it's necessary to go that far, I don't mind. You can choose the hospital, and I'll pay for it."

"Hospital? Dad, is anyone sick?"

"No."

Qing Shuichuan realized that he had spoken out of turn, and quickly lowered his head to comfort Qing Shui Ai.

"We're just...discussing something, don't worry, Ai."

"That's it!"

Ai nodded, not quite understanding.

She looked up at her mother again and spoke again.

"Dad, Mom, did you have a fight?"

These words made both of them stunned.

Qing Shuichuan smiled,

"Why do you ask?"

"Because you guys don't sit together."

"..."

Although children are young and their intelligence is not fully developed, they are not sensitive to many changes in the outside world and may not even notice that they have returned to the past.

But for the two people closest to him, the unpleasantness between them was surprisingly sensitive.

Before either of them could speak, Qing Shui Ai broke free from her father and staggered in front of Toyokawa Shoko on her short legs.

"The teacher said we can't quarrel."

The look of this little adult made Qingshuichuan laugh.

Toyokawa Shoko was also a little amused by her.

"Love, we didn't quarrel."

Qingshuichuan explained from the side.

But the little girl did not stop. She was surprisingly persistent about what she believed in.

"In the past, when we had a fight, it was always Dad who went to Mom to make peace. This time, you should take the initiative."

She tried to pull Toyokawa Shoko's hand, but failed.

This is understandable. How can a child's strength compare to that of a high school student?

Seeing that her mother was unmoved, Qingshui Ai became a little anxious. Her expression, which was quite happy just now, suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy and she looked like she was about to cry.

“…I, I understand.”

I don't know if it was because she was naturally soft-hearted or for some other reason, but Toyokawa Shoko stood up rather bewilderedly.

"We'll make peace."

That alone is not helpful.

In the end, it was Qingshuichuan who came over and extended his hand.

Then, under Shimizu Ai's gaze, Toyokawa Shoko shyly reached out her hand and shook hands with him lightly.

The little girl smiled again.

Qingshuichuan opened her little schoolbag and asked her to take out her paintbrush and paper and draw for fun.

"Really... Is she really my daughter?"

Toyokawa Shoko spoke in a low voice to the Kiyomizu River.

Her expression changed so quickly! It's hard to believe that her performance just now wasn't intentional acting!

"Kids nowadays are all so clever and quirky. It's a good thing, a sign of high intelligence."

Qingshuichuan didn't care.

"So now you believe what I say?"

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Don't you need to do a paternity test?"

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko shook her head.

After the verification just now, and the incredible desire to get close to Qingshui Ai that surged from the depths of her heart every time she saw her, she was roughly certain.

Qingshuichuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"At first, I didn't want to let you know the details in this way. That was completely an accident."

"At this point, those things are not so important."

"Too……"

The two looked at Qingshui Ai while talking.

Colleagues in the store, Miyakoshi Kazuha and Kondo Princess, walked in together.

"It's time for the shift change."

Princess Kondo was more observant and noticed the uninvited guest in the lounge.

"Who is that kid?"

Qingshuichuan answered leisurely.

"Oh, my daughter."

"Oh, your daughter."

Princess Kondo was not surprised at all and walked over to her and sat down.

Gong Yuehua blinked and exclaimed, "Eh!"

"Shimizu you... you your your daughter!?"

"...!"

Shoko Toyokawa's face turned red!

Although it was true, she didn't want others to know about her love!

"Don't say that, he does look a lot like you."

Princess Kondo stared at Shimizu Ai with interest, then turned around and looked at Shimizu Kawa's face.

"Right, the Shimizu family is full of handsome men and beautiful women."

Shimizukawa's cheeky answer,

"Ai, don't run around. I'll be off work soon. Just stay here and play."

"Okay! Keep up the good work, Dad!"

He then asked the other two people for help.

"Please help me keep an eye on her."

"Ah, it's okay, go ahead."

Princess Kondo would occasionally bring her baby to work and had asked him for help many times, so he naturally agreed.

After everything was explained, Shimizukawa patted Toyokawa Shoko's shoulder.

"Let's go, we have to go to the front hall to entertain the guests."

Walking out of the lounge, Toyokawa Shoko was quite nervous and moved closer to him.

"Is it okay to tell other people about this kind of thing?"

Qingshuichuan smiled,

"With the way I just responded, who in their right mind would believe what I said was true? They would definitely think I was joking and think Ai was my sister or niece or something like that."

After hearing what he said, Toyokawa Shoko realized belatedly that this seemed to be the case.

"Well...about love, let's talk about it in detail after get off work."

"Ah."

Qingshuichuan took out his cell phone and exchanged contact information with her.
