They all have special skills

As she was talking, Shoko Toyokawa realized that something was wrong. She found herself thinking about the two girls she saw at noon today.

This hesitation made her purse her lips again and she couldn't continue to say the next words.

I just said it without thinking much about it, but after thinking about it carefully, I always feel that what I said just now seems to be an attempt to shift the responsibility.

Is this really good?

Qingshuichuan saw her concerns,

"You can say whatever you want to say, it's okay."

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko shook her head.

"Let's order first. I'm actually a little hungry."

Is it because she realized that the man sitting next to her is her future husband, so she subconsciously let down her guard and acted so casually towards him?

This kind of situation had never happened before, and Toyokawa Shoko couldn't say for sure if this was the case.

----

"What on earth do you want to do?"

In the bathroom, Qingshui Ai stood with her hands on her hips, looking very imposing.

Akane Shimizu sat on the toilet lid, her left hand supporting her chin, her face full of helplessness, pretending to be stupid.

"I don't understand what you are talking about, sister."

"You almost threw the drink in front of you in Mom's face."

"Haha, no matter what, it shouldn't be this serious."

"Be serious, I'm not kidding you. Don't you think mom is innocent?"

"How can she be innocent? She..."

"I don't know how your future mother will treat you. Even if she's really mean, it at least has nothing to do with your current mother, right? She didn't do anything wrong to be treated like that by you. Don't you feel sorry for her? You're even so kind to the ticket seller at the racecourse!"

"..."

These words left Akane Shimizu speechless.

She stared at her little sister and spoke with emotion,

"Sister, are you really only six years old now?"

"what happened?"

"Nothing special, I just find it unbelievable."

What was I doing when I was six? I have no recollection of it. All I can say is that people are so different.

Qingshui Ai dodged Qingshui Akane's hand that was about to touch her head.

"Don't say these useless things. You should know what to do next, right?"

Qingshui Qian lowered her head and sighed deeply.

"I know. I'll try not to show any emotion."

"Not try your best, but definitely. And remember to act according to circumstances later. Your sudden appearance last night disrupted my plans."

"What are you going to do?"

"I don't have much time left. I have to trick Mom into spending the night with Dad tonight!"

Volume 10: Chapter : It’s a manifestation of love ()

After returning from the bathroom, Akane Shimizu became much more docile.

Although he still didn't take the initiative to talk to Toyokawa Shoko like before, at least he didn't give her a cold look or look at her through her ear holes.

However, this was already a fairly friendly transition, and the atmosphere at the table changed. It was no longer as tense as it was just now, like a meeting between enemies.

I don’t know what the eldest daughter just said to her, but in any case, Qingshuichuan was very pleased and secretly gave Qingshui Ai a thumbs up.

At the same time, he also paid attention to not favoring one over the other. After his dish was served, he specially cut a small piece and handed it to Akane Shimizu's plate before he started eating.

My little daughter is no longer throwing tantrums, which is great. She must be rewarded!

The family of four is so happy at this moment!

However, beneath the seemingly peaceful surface, there are actually many problems.

The most obvious thing is the relationship between Shoko Toyokawa and the two daughters in front of her.

They had little time to interact with each other to begin with, and the little daughter had been sarcastic towards them the moment they met. Even though Toyokawa Shoko had a lot to say when she first arrived, it was difficult to say it now.

So at this time, Qingshuichuan still has to intervene and break the ice.

Even before becoming a husband, I have already experienced the troubles of being surrounded by household chores. This feeling is quite subtle and unique!

However, after seeing Shoko Toyokawa and his two daughters...especially the conversation with Akane gradually return to normal, he still felt sincerely relieved and contented.

This was much more satisfying than getting a good ranking in his studies, and his sense of accomplishment suddenly became overwhelming!

The coming and going of people in the restaurant and the aroma of various dishes interweave into a very ordinary urban scene. This scene under the night sky appears peaceful and harmonious.

"...Love you. I went out today and saw someone playing the piano on the street."

"Yeah! At that time, I thought of my mother. If my mother played the same song, it would definitely be much better than that person."

"Hey, that's right."

"You're my mom after all. I almost know all the songs you taught me now!"

"That's really awesome."

Shoko Toyokawa's beautiful eyes flashed, and she showed a rare lively expression that was full of girlish charm.

Given her personality, she would have just laughed off other people's compliments and not taken them to heart. But being admired by her eldest daughter since childhood was a completely different matter.

Seeing Qian’s reaction, I felt that I would be a failure as a future mother, but now it seems... I seem to have performed pretty well. After all, I have become a role model for my eldest daughter!

She silently looked at Akane Shimizu beside her.

The little daughter also received her gaze,

"Why are you looking at me? I don't have the piano talent like my sister, and piano isn't what I like."

Although the tone is still the same as before, the tone has become much gentler.

Having preconceived the idea of ​​her being her own little daughter, Shoko Toyokawa would not get angry so easily anymore.

Moreover, after the distance between them was shortened by a casual conversation between them, she could even tease her little daughter proactively due to her natural advantage as a mother.

"I think so too."

The expression is very natural, but these four short words are extremely lethal.

Akane Shimizu was stunned for a moment before she reacted. Her pretty face flushed slightly as she was about to say something, but was suppressed by Shimizu Kawa's light cough.

"what happened?"

Toyokawa Shoko looked at Shimizukawa with a puzzled look as he gave her an inexplicable look.

"fine……"

Qingshuichuan's words were insincere.

I didn't expect that this former eldest lady did have some dark elements in her.

At the beginning, he did not take any action when he didn't understand the situation clearly. Now that he has a general understanding of the current situation and has had initial contact and familiarity, he immediately fought back against the unfair treatment he had suffered before.

Look how angry my little daughter is. Her appetite has increased a lot.

The conversation at the table continued, but most of the time, it was Toyokawa Shoko and Shimizu Ai who talked alone. Occasionally, Shimizu Kawa would interject, while Shimizu Akane completely turned into a typical eater and later ordered several snacks.

Neither her sister nor her father would allow her to bully her mother, so she turned her dissatisfaction into appetite and was determined to make her mother, who was paying for today's meal, bleed heavily!

Qingshuichuan found it funny. After all, Qian was a good kid, with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. The dishes she ordered later were just some ordinary fried foods, such as popcorn chicken, French fries, chicken nuggets, etc. They didn't cost much, so he just went along with her.

On this side, Shoko Toyokawa was still calmly asking questions to her eldest daughter, wanting to know about various future situations.

After knowing that his eldest daughter was a precocious little girl, Qingshuichuan was not too worried that she would say anything out of line.

This is indeed the case. When it comes to some unimportant things, Shimizu Ai pretends to be ignorant and says so. As for the situation that cannot be revealed at this moment, Shimizu Ai uses her age advantage freely and simply acts cute and pretends to be confused to fool people.

Otherwise, how can we say that my future self is wise? Letting love come back is the right choice!

There is a little bit of air leakage at the collar, but it is still a competent and qualified little cotton jacket after all.

----

"...Mom, aren't you going back with Dad today?"

Dinner was almost over when Shimizu Ai suddenly asked this question. Her innocent big eyes revealed a little timidity, and her acting skills were on point again.

Although her precocious nature was generally known to her father and sister, this was not the case for Toyokawa Shoko.

Her most profound impression of Qingshui Ai was last night when she finished listening to her former teammate's performance and left the venue in tears. This little cutie was like a little angel fallen into the earth, and healed her soul with her warm words.

And Qingshui Ai felt that the good child image she presented at the moment would be beneficial to her plan to bring her parents together, so she naturally would not expose herself on her own initiative.

It was the sudden appearance of Akane Shimizu that caught her off guard. The sudden appearance of someone who looked similar to her mother made her attitude somewhat unnatural.

But...it shouldn't be a big deal.

The convenient identity of a child can be used to explain everything!

"This one……"

Shoko Toyokawa was in a dilemma for a moment. She understood that in the eyes of love, she and Shimizukawa had a close relationship, and it was indeed somewhat unreasonable for them not to act together all the time.

She also felt that it was not good for her to stay out of the matter. You know, it was Qingshuichuan who was taking care of her alone these days.

At this time, Qing Shuichuan looked at Qing Shui Ai steadily, and after thinking about it, he smiled calmly and said,

"Mom has her own things to do. She wants to go home and take care of grandpa."

"That's it..."

Although they had not discussed it in advance, Qingshui Ai could clearly see that her father was trying to defuse her attack and rescue her mother.

Why? Isn't Mommy pretty? She's so soft and sweet, don't you want to hug her? It's so comfortable!

Although my mother now is indeed not as stunning as she will be in the future, she is still in the stage of blooming and has not yet fully opened, lacking a certain temperament that cannot be described in words...but she is still quite outstanding!

Dad, you only need to stay by my side and do nothing, and I will be able to act pitiful and trick Mom back so that you can have a chance to be close to her. Why are you secretly trying to stop me?

No... If you look at it from another angle, the reason why Dad did this was out of concern for Mom and not wanting to embarrass her...

Following this line of thought...

So, this is actually a sign that dad cares about you?

No, no! If you really think like that, there will be no end to it.

Qingshui Ai shook her head violently!

Thinking of his goal, his will became firm again. If one plan fails, he will come up with another one!

"Mom, I suddenly feel a little stomachache..."

Her already aggrieved little face now looks even more adorable with her hands covering her belly.

Of course, only Toyokawa Shoko became nervous and worried instantly. The other two people saw that she was deliberately acting for other purposes, so they did not seem so anxious.

"Is it okay? Where exactly does it hurt? Should we go to the hospital?"

Toyokawa Shoko came to Shimizu Ai and asked her with concern. She asked the last sentence with her head tilted towards Shimizu Kawa.

"It's okay, it's okay. I think she just ate too much and has some indigestion. She'll be fine if she gets up and walks around a bit." Qingshui Akane answered first, ignoring Qingshui Ai's secretly dissatisfied look. "It's almost time. Now that we've finished eating, let's go back."

"Is it really okay?" Shoko Toyokawa was still a little worried.

Qingshuichuan left his seat and squatted beside Qingshui Ai, touching her belly with his hand: "Ai, are you feeling better now?"

Looking into her old father's eyes, Qing Shui Ai felt deflated: "It seems... it doesn't hurt as much as before."

It was a false alarm and Shoko Toyokawa breathed a sigh of relief.
