Chapter 231 Asuhi Mai
"There are a lot of foreigners lately. Should I take you back?"
"The marathon is about to start, maybe that's why."
After leaving the flower shop, the two walked along the path leading to Kiyono Rin's apartment.
"Marathon?" Toru Watanabe asked puzzledly.
"The Tokyo Marathon is one of the six major marathon events in the world." After explaining, Qing Ye Lin turned his head and looked at him, "You don't even know this?"
A breeze blew by, and her black hair falling along her face blended with the spring breeze.
"No wonder there are more people jogging in the morning recently." Watanabe Toru nodded.
He suddenly remembered something: "Seino-san, do you know how many meters are in one circumference of Jingu Gaien?"
"have no idea."
"You don't even know this? I thought you knew everything." Watanabe Toru sighed, with pride and mockery in his eyes.
"Watanabe-san," said Rin Kiyono, in a voice as cold and crisp as spring water that had just thawed. "Excuse me, do you know Chris Botti? Do you know Marthalis? Do you know the fourth movement of Dvorak's Ninth Symphony?"
"I don't like your trumpet, I only like your legs. By the way, when can I touch them once, R-san?"
Kiyono Rin laughed.
If I had to describe that smile, there is only one word: cruel.
Cruelty means to harm or abuse someone violently and viciously.
"Watanabe-san, if you want to be stepped on, I can satisfy you anytime."
Watanabe Toru took two steps away and solemnly refused: "Forget about such erotic games. I just want to touch it."
Qingye Rin glared at him fiercely.
Watanabe Toru looked at her lovely face and it seemed that she was not really angry.
By now, Kiyono Rin had unknowingly become accustomed to his jokes about "legs".
However, thinking about it carefully, it seems that he only played dirty jokes on Kiyono Rin.
After sending Kiyono Rin back, Watanabe Toru returned to Shinano Town.
After resting for a while and thinking about how to pass the time, Keisuke Saito asked him and Kunii Osamu to go fishing in Odaiba tomorrow in the game Line group.
「Can you recommend a store where I can buy fishing gear?」
"Kanda and Nakano both have their own fishing gear streets."
While chatting in the group, Toru Watanabe changed into casual clothes and prepared to go to Kanda to buy fishing gear and visit a bookstore.
I walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor.
"Tomorrow Kunii and I will go by bike."
“I don’t have a bicycle.”
"By the way, how about the three of us take advantage of spring break to get our motorcycle licenses?"
"I'm fine."
"Why learn to ride a motorcycle? It's too dangerous!"
Next, Toru Watanabe and Osamu Kunii kept persuading Keisuke Saito to learn how to ride a motorcycle with them.
The elevator reached the first floor unknowingly. He walked with his head down, typing with his hands.
When walking out of the tram, he caught a glimpse of a familiar lower body out of the corner of his eye. Watanabe Toru looked up and saw that it was a middle-aged female elite in a suit, accompanied by a young girl.
He continued typing with his head down, then suddenly realized something was wrong and looked up again.
Then he quickly turned around, stopped the elevator door that was about to close at the last moment, and walked into the elevator that had just exited.
After pressing the 5th floor, he stood behind the middle-aged female elite and the young girl.
This was the first time Toru Watanabe and Mai Asuka met in the Shinano-machi apartment.
At that time, Toru Watanabe was preparing to go to Kanda to buy fishing gear, and Asuka Mai and her mother came to arrange the furniture.
The two bumped into each other at the elevator entrance on the first floor. He walked out and she walked in.
Before the elevator door closed, the piercing sound of a sports car accelerating was heard outside the apartment.
"Mai, I'm sorry about this today. Rika is graduating too." There was a hint of apology in Mai's mother's tone.
"……It doesn't matter."
Mai's mother nodded and said nothing more, staring at the continuously incrementing floor number.
In the blurry reflection of the elevator, Asu Mai and Toru Watanabe behind her met each other's eyes.
Ever since he hurriedly followed her into the elevator, her heart had been filled with an indescribable joy.
She took out her cell phone and sent an emoticon of a person with an arrow in the body and hearts popping up all around to Watanabe Toru behind her.
Then, in the reflection of the elevator wall, she watched Watanabe Toru finish reading the Line message, then he closed his eyes with a touched look on his face and placed his right fist on his heart.
A faint smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of Mai Asu's mouth.
Those eyes were as beautiful as a handful of clear summer stream water.
"Tetsu, where are you going? I'll come find you after mother leaves."
"I'm not going anywhere, I'll wait for you"
Room 602
"Are you in a good mood today?" Mai's mother suddenly asked.
"I live alone." Asu Mai replied.
Mai's mother's eyes flickered and she raised her hand as if she wanted to touch her daughter's head, but finally gave up.
"You have to live a good life even if you are alone." She sighed and said this.
"Um."
The elevator reached the fifth floor and Toru Watanabe returned to his room.
He threw himself down on the sofa and looked at the ceiling.
Asu Mai's room is 602, just above 502. At this moment, she might be walking over his head.
If the ceiling were transparent, you would be able to see the beautiful world beneath her pleated school skirt.
When he thought of this, the night he spent with Asuka Mai naturally emerged in Watanabe Toru's mind.
After sitting on the sofa for less than a minute, he couldn't help but stand up, walked around the living room meaninglessly, and finally came to the balcony.
In the afternoon sun, every leaf in the woods of Jingu Gaien reflects the light, like a sparkling sea.
Twenty minutes later, Asu Mai sent a message.
Toru Watanabe got on the elevator to the sixth floor. When the elevator door closed, he thought that he should have taken a shower.
Almost as soon as I rang the doorbell, the door opened.
Before Watanabe Toru could see clearly, Asu Mai pounced on him.
In the corridor, the two hugged each other tightly.
Perhaps to tidy up the furniture, Asu Mai took off her school uniform jacket and tucked the white shirt underneath into her pleated skirt.
Toru Watanabe put his arms around her slender waist through her thin shirt.
Their breathing began to quicken, their faces pressed tightly together, causing their cheeks to become slightly sunken.
Toru Watanabe held her and walked into Room 602.
After entering the room, Toru Watanabe no longer had any reservations. He found Asuka Mai's lips with his lips, and slid his hands down to knead her plump buttocks through her pleated skirt.
When their lips parted, Watanabe Toru took a deep breath. Only in this way could he control the impulse in his heart.
However, another participant in this game, Asuka Mai, had no intention of restraining herself.
She kissed Watanabe Toru's hair, forehead, eyebrows, eyes...
“Truth…Truth…Truth…”
Over and over again, Asu Mai called out the name of her beloved.
Watanabe Toru couldn't bear it any longer, so he reached out and pulled her white shirt out from under her skirt.
His palm slid along her slightly concave spine until it reached the bra button.
…
At the entrance, clothes were not taken off, once;
On the couch, shirt unbuttoned, once;
On the bed in the bedroom, all that was left was a pleated skirt that was pulled up at the waist.
Finally, when Mai Asu was dying, the two hugged each other and stopped all actions.
The room was quiet.
Outside the window, there are occasionally birds that live in the outer gardens of the shrine, and when they fly past the window, there is a sound of flapping wings.
"Starting from tomorrow, will we live here?" Toru Watanabe asked softly in Asu Mai's ear.
"Um."
"A day, a month, a year, there's suddenly more time. How can I plan it?"
"I heard it thoroughly."
"Then... in the morning, we'll go to the outer garden together, you'll practice the oboe, and I'll go running; during the day, I'll hold you in my arms, and we'll play games together; in the evening, we'll go have dinner, take a walk, and go to the movies; later in the evening..."
Watanabe Toru hugged Asuka Mai tighter: "I will torture you all night long."
"That's great." Asu Mai pressed her face against his neck lovingly.
The two checked each other's breathing and body temperature.
When it was completely dark, Watanabe Toru patted Asuka Mai's lower back and said, "Get up."
Asu Mai didn't say anything, but moved her body, completely pressing on Watanabe Toru, and hugged his neck tightly with her hands.
Her actions seemed to say 'You are not going anywhere'.
"Let's go eat." Watanabe Toru said with a smile.
Asu Mai's head, which was buried in his collarbone, shook, and the hair on top of her head made Watanabe Toru's face itchy.
"Eat well so you can have the energy to continue at night." He lowered his voice and whispered, "This is our first time spending the night together, and I won't show any mercy. Are you ready?"
Asu Mai quickly raised her upper body and looked down at Watanabe Toru.
Her long, smooth hair formed a waterfall between the two of them.
Looking at her clear eyes that never blinked, Watanabe Toru couldn't help but ask:
"What's wrong?"
"happy."
After saying that, she jumped out of bed and walked naked into the bathroom in the bedroom.
After watching her go in, Toru Watanabe listened to the sound of water and wished he could go in immediately to unlock the new scene.
Even though his body allowed him to be unbridled, he still held back.
Out of laziness, Toru Watanabe continued to lie in bed for a while, and only went in to take a shower after Asuma Mai finished washing.
When getting out of bed, I threw the pillow that had fallen on the ground at some point back onto the bed.
When he came out of the shower, Asuma Mai had already changed into her normal clothes.
The light pink sweater with a high and loose collar looks elegant; the white high-waisted long skirt; and the white short down jacket look cute and fashionable.
When Toru Watanabe picked up clothes from the ground and put them on, she came over with her school uniform.
"Tetsu, I'll give you the button."
"Don't pull it off!"
"Um?"
As he put on his pants, Watanabe Toru said, "Take good care of your school uniform. In the future, I will let you wear it for me from time to time. Do you understand me?"
"I will keep myself in shape." Asu Mai showed an expectant expression.
After Watanabe Toru got dressed, the two left the apartment.
I had originally planned to go to Kanda, but if Mai wants to go with me tomorrow, I’ll have to change my route to Nakano.
When I went downstairs, I didn't meet Koizumi Aona and the others.
Toru Watanabe was thinking about finding an opportunity to tell Aona Koizumi about Asuka Mai, since she would definitely keep it a secret for him anyway.
As for Akiko and Miyuki Miyazaki, he was still hesitant, but it should be difficult to hide the truth from them as they were very perceptive and gossipy.
When he got downstairs, Toru Watanabe called a taxi.
In the car, Asu Mai held Watanabe Toru's arm and leaned against him.
Doing this outside was a very dangerous thing, but Toru Watanabe didn't say anything.
When it comes to who he loves more, it is undoubtedly Miki. If Asuka Mai is determined to be with him even if it means death, he will not do anything to let Miki down.
But at this point, none of that matters.
Since you are already together, you must treat them well and never mess with other girls.
"Senior, can I ask you a question?"
"Um."
"Why do you like me?"
"Is there any girl who doesn't like Toru?"
"Ichimoku Aoi and Tamamo are so beautiful?"
Asu Mai raised her head and looked at Watanabe Toru's handsome and lazy face.
"Even if someone acts like they hate Toru, or doesn't like you at first, if Toru approaches them first, then she will definitely like you. Toru is special."
She lowered her head again and put her face on Watanabe Toru's arm.
"From childhood to adulthood, there has never been a person I care about, except for Toru. I long to be with you, no matter what. In my life, I only want Toru."
Toru Watanabe has been holding, touching, and pinching Asuka Mai's little hand, hoping that this action can give her enough sense of security and tell her: he is here.
After eating French food in Nakano District, he accompanied Asuka Mai to walk around the mall and they each bought some spring clothes.
I wanted to watch a movie, but Asu Mai said, "Toru, don't waste your time. For me, being together with you is the happiest thing."
Then Toru Watanabe could only satisfy her.
The two took a taxi back to the apartment and started kissing in the elevator.
After entering Room 602, Watanabe Toru had just closed the door when Asu Mai came over again with her mouth slightly open.
Toru Watanabe threw away the shopping bag in his hand, picked her up and put her on the shoe cabinet at the entrance.
…
During the short break, Asu Mai lay on the bed, and Watanabe Toru lay on her back, with their fingers intertwined and their bodies tightly locked.
"Senior, you and your mother don't have a very good relationship?"
"Um."
"Can you tell me about it?"
"My parents are divorced and each has their own family and children. I lived in my father's house for a while and in my mother's house for a while."
Asu Mai closed her eyes and rested. Her tone was calm, not revealing any sadness.
Watanabe Toru said nothing.
He wondered what kind of expression Asu Mai would have when she saw her parents doting on the child of their new family? Would she be indifferent? What would she feel?
He thought again of that night in Kyoto, when he had strangled Asuka Mai by the neck, and when he had advised him to use succinate.
At that time, she was redundant in the family. The man she liked didn't want her and wanted to kill her. How pitiful.
Why did she give me such a fate? Under that expressionless appearance, did she ask this question in tears late at night?
"Senior."
"Um."
"If you don't like it, it's okay to leave your parents. I will support you in the future."
Asu Mai opened her eyes and stared at Watanabe Toru's hands entangled with hers.
"Because of me, Toru did something that was unfair to his girlfriend, and I am already satisfied. As for money, I will work hard and support myself with music in the future."
Toru Watanabe pressed his face against Mai Asu's smooth and delicate back.
"I have my own money. I will buy this apartment for you tomorrow and then give you half of my money."
"Need not."
"I have to give it to you." Watanabe Toru said firmly, "You made me do something that was unfair to Miki, but I also made you my lover. You can't be with the person you love openly."
"Without Toru, no amount of money will be of any use to me."
"Even if you won't feel at ease after taking the money , I still hope you can accept it." Watanabe Toru buried his face in her long hair. "I give you money not to make up for my guilt or to make it easier for me to sever ties with you in the future. I hope that from now on, you can work hard or not, and you can learn music or not. I want you to be happy."
"I……"
"Listen to me."
Asu Mai raised Watanabe Toru's hand and placed it on her red and slightly sweaty cheek.
"Yes, I heard it all."
"Senior, I won't leave you. From now on, the two of us are a family."
Asu Mai pretended to turn around, and Watanabe Toru stood up and made way, and the two tightly clasped bodies separated.
Watanabe Toru was a little surprised.
Ever since she came back, Asuma Mai didn't want him to leave her, even to get out of bed to drink water. What happened now?
Asuhi Mai tilted her head and stared at him, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"…the child's father?"
Watanabe Toru couldn't help laughing: "We don't have any children yet, isn't it too early to call us that?"
"Have one now," she said.
"For things like this, at least we should wait until you graduate from university, senior sister?" Toru Watanabe supported her slender waist.
“I’m not going to college anymore.”
"Tetsu should drop out of school too."
"My mother and K-san will beat me to death."
"Oh." Asu Mai's calm tone revealed a hint of dissatisfaction and loss.
Such childishness and such reckless sincerity made Watanabe Toru unable to control the impulse he had been suppressing.
"Ah..." Asu Mai raised her snow-white neck and made a sound like crying.
The night is still long and the future is even longer, but for them , every minute and every second is worth cherishing.
Because life already has happiness.
