"What are you talking about, kid? Mommy doesn't understand at all."

Finally, under Sayuri Sawamura's questioning, Eriri told her miserably what she had just seen, blaming herself for not thinking it through before leaving.

After hearing this, Sayuri Sawamura smiled indifferently and praised Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"I've always thought Shiyu was sensible and well-mannered, but I didn't expect it to be true. She's quite thoughtful."

"Mom, it's already this hour, and you're still saying this!"

"Ouch, that's enough, stop kneeling on the ground and get up quickly. Do you think your mother came with you this time just to keep an eye on you?"

"What do you mean, Mom?"

"Come here."

Sayuri Sawamura walked to her suitcase and waved to Eriri.

After her daughter came over, she opened the suitcase.

"I originally wanted to find a suitable opportunity to give it to my grandparents later, but seeing how sad you are, you should wait a while. After Shiyu's child is done, you can give it to my grandparents."

"...!"

I watched my mother take out two gift boxes from the suitcase.

Eriri's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the dejection she had just shown disappeared. She asked excitedly,

"Mom, when did you prepare this?"

"The night before departure."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Shimizu-kun saved you, so as a parent, it's only natural for me to express my gratitude to his family. There's no need for me to tell you specifically about this."

"But if you told me, I can prepare in advance!"

"Let's put it this way. I'll thank his parents. You just need to figure out how to thank him personally."

"Can it be calculated this way..."

"Silly daughter, you still have a lot to learn. The reason why Xiao Shiyu had to deliver something to Qingshui's family was because she was not accompanied by her parents this time. Otherwise, I guess she wouldn't have to do this kind of thing."

"hey-hey……"

Now, Ying Lili couldn't listen to so much. She shook the two gift boxes in her hands and listened to the movement inside.

"What's in there, Mom?"

The things that Kasumigaoka sent her were obviously high-end goods, and she didn't want to be inferior to that guy.

"Yarn and a fishing rod."

"what?"

Eriri's face quickly fell.

Sayuri Sawamura pinched her daughter's face unhappily.

"What's that expression on your face? Are you doubting Mom?"

She sighed and began to explain.

“Mom had already asked about it after she got to know Qingshui’s mom at the hospital.

When Grandma Qingshui has nothing to do at home, she likes to make small pieces of clothing with needle and thread.

As for Grandpa Qingshui, he likes to go fishing with his friends, which is exactly the same as your father.

Ying Lili's drooping face regained its spirits.

"So that means... Mom is trying to please him?"

"Well, when choosing a gift, you can't just look at the price, especially for a family like the Shimizu family who's not short of money. Sometimes the thought behind it is what matters most...

Although the wool that mom chose is not cheap, and that fishing rod is also an imported product that your dad used his connections to buy for him but has never been willing to use it.

But he never caught any fish anyway, so this time he made the most of it."

"But are these just gifts from grandpa and grandma?"

"Don't worry about Shimizu-kun's parents. I will take care of it later."

"I love you mom!"

Eriri hugged Sayuri tightly.

Sayuri smiled speechlessly. She had forgotten when was the last time her daughter said something like this.

She patted her daughter on the back.

"Okay, okay, it's almost time. If you don't go now, it will be too late."

"Okay mom!"

Ying Lili hurriedly stood up and walked to the door with the gift. She turned back slowly and embarrassedly.

"Um, Mom...about the gift..."

As a mother, Sayuri could not understand what she meant, so she waved her hand without caring.

"Okay, just say you prepared it yourself."

"I love you mom!"

"Haha, stupid daughter."

Sayuri sat back down in front of the dressing mirror and fixed her hair.

About ten minutes later, Eriri returned with a happy face.

"How about it?"

"Grandpa and grandma seem very happy. They all say I'm so thoughtful. Hehehe..."

Ying Lili laughed foolishly and hugged her mother from behind.

"And, let me tell you, Mom, after I told my grandparents what I gave them, they immediately opened it and took a look happily.

But I noticed that the gift that Kasumigaoka guy gave me was placed on a cabinet at the side, untouched~ hehehe~"

"Don't call others that guy. It's impolite."

"I know~"

Taking back the comb that had hit her daughter's head, Sayuri looked at her and asked with a smile,

"So, what did you learn from this?"

Yinglili's quick answer,

“When giving gifts, you should cater to the recipient’s preferences and attach importance to the thought behind it.”

"Even elementary school students understand this level of understanding. I'm asking if you have any other insights."

"other aspects……"

"You've lost, little idiot. Mom traveled all the way across the ocean to snatch your dad back from his childhood sweetheart. How come you didn't inherit any of her excellent qualities?"

"I, I'm also very good, okay? Don't make me sound useless!"

Sayuri snorted.

"That's the reality. If I hadn't prepared in advance, you would have been at a disadvantage tonight."

"..."

Eriri puffed out her cheeks, unable to refute.

Sayuri looked at it and shook her head.

"Forget it, forget it. I feel like my daughter has only inherited my good looks. There's absolutely no hope for her intelligence. I'll just give you the answer."

She turned around, faced her daughter, and said seriously,

"Regarding what you just said, it's not just about giving gifts, it's also quite practical in relationships."

Ying Lili's face gradually turned red, and she no longer dared to look her mother in the eye.

"Love...love, what are you talking about, mom?"

Sayuri stared at her daughter and spoke softly,

"My dear daughter, even now, you still think that Mommy hasn't noticed, right?"

"Wha...what! I don't understand what you are talking about, mom!"

Sayuri's expression gradually became somewhat desperate.

"Let me be frank, Mom, I know you like Shimizu-kun."

"...!"

"What are you surprised about? Not only me, but Dad knows too! Even Shimizu-kun's parents have noticed something.

How slow are you to react? Your behavior these days can't be hidden from anyone!"

"...Stop it, stop it, Mom!!!"

Eriri covered her face with her hands and rolled around on the ground.

Is this child really his own?

Could it be that the baby was taken away by mistake at the hospital?

I am obviously a winner in life, but why does my daughter smell like a loser?

"Listen carefully, Eriri, love isn't as simple as you think.

In addition to what you just said, you also need to communicate with your heart, think about what the other person is thinking, and make choices when necessary...

These things are very important.”

Now that everything has been said, Sayuri no longer holds back.

Eriri also felt that after all, she was her own mother, so there was really no need to be shy.

So soon after she started speaking this time, she slowly loosened her hands that were covering her face and stopped rolling around.

Although my face was still red, after I figured it out, at least I could communicate normally.

"Mom, what you said is so complicated...I don't understand."

“I know you don’t understand, but Mommy does.

After the conversation just now, I have determined that although my precious daughter is good at drawing 18-rated books, when it comes to love... I really can't have any expectations of her.

If I leave you like this and allow you to compete fairly with Xiao Shiyu, I estimate that your final fate will be exactly the same as that of my mother's rival in love back then."

"Mom, you also discovered Kasumigao Hill..."

"That's not a given. Who do you think you two can hide your thoughts from?"

"That is to say, Uncle Qingshui and Auntie Qingshui also..."

"Of course it's the same, we all went through your age.

When Qing Shuijun was present, the way you looked at him, the words you said to him...

I wouldn’t say it’s completely obvious, but it’s certainly clear if you think about it a little bit.”

"..."

Are adults so powerful?

Got a definite answer.

After realizing that it was not just me whose little thoughts were seen through by everyone.

Eriri felt much better, the shame faded away, and the temperature on her face dropped.

Back to the topic.
