Chapter 272 Family Trip (5)
After buying the swimsuits, the two ladies did not end their "date" but took their daughter and son-in-law to buy clothes and accessories and did not return home until after dinner.
This is a rare opportunity.
Before this, no matter how they invited each other - their lies were exposed, as long as one of Kiyono Rin and Kujo Miki was there, the other would never agree to come out.
The wife can only rely on holidays to allow the two of them to spend a short time together.
Miki Kujo's car first took Kiyono Rin back to her apartment in Yotsuya, followed by the two wives.
"Watanabe-kun, let's continue our date another day~" The wife waved to the tool man kindly.
"goodbye."
The car window rolled up and Watanabe Toru let out a long sigh. In this high-intensity Shura field, even the "Tokyo Handsome Guy" had to be cautious.
"Going home?" he asked Kujo Miki who was sitting opposite him.
"Go to the company, there is still work to do." Miki Kujo rested her elbows on the car door armrest, resting her tired cheeks.
Toru Watanabe looked at her delicate and beautiful little face. She was only sixteen years old, still a girl.
"I'll go with you," he said.
"You're going?" Kujo Miki opened her eyes and looked at him inquiringly.
Watanabe Toru didn't say anything. He stood up and sat over. He reached out and pulled Kujo Miki into his arms, letting her lean on his chest.
He pressed his face against her long hair and wrapped her graceful body gently yet tightly with his body.
"Meiji," he whispered.
"Hmm?" Miki Kujo closed her eyes in his arms.
"I love you."
"Um."
Toru Watanabe gently pinched her chin and placed his lips on her passionate and small lips.
It was a warm kiss, reminiscent of last year's autumn at Kamogawa in Kyoto.
The two of them hugged each other and did nothing, sitting in a corner of the dim car. The rapidly receding neon lights outside the window turned into a halo, forming a sea of colors.
…
Qingye Rin put on her school uniform and tied a bow.
As agreed, I have to go to school today to guide the wind band.
Kamikawa High School was still noisy on Sunday.
The running track, football field, baseball field, tennis court, the shouts of the sports team members, the merciless scolding of the coach, everyone was sweating profusely.
The metal bat hits the baseball, accompanied by the crisp sound that lingers in the clear sky, and you can already feel the breath of summer.
However, she still had to go through the plum rains, which made her feel a little unhappy.
Speaking of the plum rains, before that, there was a family camping trip at the end of May, which made her feel a little happier.
Going camping with my mother, Aunt Kujo, and Miki was something I never thought I would agree to.
She didn't hate Kujo Miki, she just didn't like her.
When we were kids, we agreed not to lie. The anger caused by the other party's betrayal before three months had already been thrown away in the summer when I was four years old, along with the words "marry the same person in the future".
The two went through all kinds of things, and finally Kujo Miki became the president of the company, and she became a literary girl who read books all day long.
Throughout elementary school and junior high school, the two of them didn't have a single friend and they didn't interact with each other.
At that time, I thought they would continue to live like this after entering high school, and even in college and for the rest of their lives.
It was not until that spring-filled April that she submitted a manuscript to the literature club in order to comply with school rules, and Toru Watanabe walked in.
Although she had posted flyers recruiting members, she had no intention of accepting anyone - lying was not allowed in the admission test, and it was impossible for anyone to do that.
Toru Watanabe couldn't do it either, but he actually didn't like himself.
Before this, she wouldn't have cared, but when she thought about the existence of the Human Observation Department, if she didn't observe humans, it would go against her promise to the school when she founded the club to "activate well".
Then stay.
Fire him when he falls hopelessly in love with me.
I thought the observation of Toru Watanabe would end soon, but who knew so many things would happen afterwards.
He didn't care at all when Tamamo Yoshimi laughed at him behind his back, and he admitted that he was an excellent individual, but that was all.
Not long after, he started dating Kujo Miki.
Even though the confession was fake and the love was fake, the two were really dating and doing what lovers do.
Kujo Miki, who didn't even allow the maid to touch her, let Watanabe Toru kiss her and put on her shoes, and the two had frequent physical contact.
On the other hand, after dating Kujo Miki, she found that Watanabe Toru suddenly started studying hard.
The man quickly learned several languages, read many books, and even became humorous in his speech - although he still told lies.
One day when he was directing the wind band, he was on the Yotsuya Station platform returning to his apartment late at night. He was talking nonsense, but he sincerely accepted his way of life.
“It’s okay to just tell the truth.”
Many people have said this to her, but he is the only one who thinks from the bottom of his heart that it doesn't matter.
After that day, she considered him a friend in her heart.
Once Watanabe Toru is no longer isolated from the world, his strong charm will sweep everything away like a hurricane.
He had a handsome and delicate face, and he only smiled at her and Kujo Miki. Even if she didn't care about his appearance, it was inevitable that she would be moved once in a while when they were together all day.
His academic performance was getting better and better, and even she had to start studying hard in her spare time. His national ranking kept rising, but even so, he still won the first place in the country in the end;
He has a funny and humorous personality, and there is always a mysterious part in his heart;
He started exercising. I would occasionally see him jogging in the streets of Yotsuya in the early morning. His physical strength was unimaginable now.
Facing various requests from Kujo Miki, he always had a way to resolve them, and even guided Kujo Miki to follow his ideas;
Becoming better and better, but maintaining the same mentality as always:
Be gentle to others, never show off everything about yourself, and don't take other people's good or bad opinions to heart.
When I came to my senses, I had already experienced things that I would never have thought of in junior high school: wind music, training camps, cultural festivals, Christmas, and New Year's celebrations in the countryside...
She hasn't changed at all compared to the past.
I still hate lying, refuse to tell lies, and look down on outsiders.
The only difference is that I have the happiness I want to fight for.
But life is good now. She doesn't care about Watanabe Toru's health. Anyway, he...
"Senior Kiyono!" A freshman named Horikita Mai interrupted her thoughts.
Wasn't I just thinking about Kujo Miki and my own changes? How come I became that guy in the middle of it?
Qingye Rin put down the book and looked at the girls from the wind band who gathered around her. Before she knew it, it was already break time.
"What's the matter?" She looked at the petite girl leading the group.
It seems that Kamikawa came because of Toru Watanabe, and even joined the wind orchestra, choosing the oboe as his instrument.
"Senior Kiyono, I wanted to ask you what kind of hair care products you use? Your hair is so beautiful." Horikita Mai looked at her with admiration and adoration.
"I want to know too." Ikki Aoi looked at the long, flowing hair that was as black as lead with envy.
"Normal shampooing and hair care." Qingye Rin responded coldly, her voice as pleasant as a music box.
"So senior sister is naturally beautiful? That's great." Horikita Mai said.
The other girls started to speak up, praising every aspect of Kiyono Rin.
Qingye Rin didn't respond and just listened without caring.
"Senior, which beauty salon do you usually go to? I want to go to the same beauty salon as you to get my hair cut and skin care done."
"Me too, me too!"
"What do you want?" Qingye Rin asked them coldly.
Most of the girls looked timid and took slight steps in their white indoor shoes, preparing to disperse.
"It's okay. I'm just curious about senior." Horikita Mai had no intention of leaving.
She raised her little face with her bob haircut and asked, "Senior, as a young lady, how much living expenses do you have per month?"
Qingye Rin shifted his gaze back to the book.
"Senior, besides reading, what else do you like?"
"What do you plan to do in the future? Besides inheriting the family business, do you have any personal dreams?"
“How do you stay in shape?”
"How can I be like my senior sister and never get acne?"
The girls in the wind band looked at Horikita Mai with admiration. She had such a strong will in her petite body.
Kiyono Rin's eyes left the book again and looked at Horikita Mai.
This time, it was no longer as cold as before, but it was chilly.
Her cherry-pink lips opened and closed slightly, and she was about to say something that would make the other person never get close to her again, when Watanabe Toru's voice came over.
"It's rare to see Kiyono-san chatting." Asu Mai also walked into the music classroom with Watanabe Toru.
"Senior Mai!" Aoi Ikki ran over in surprise.
"...Yeah." Asu Mai nodded slightly at her.
Except for the members who originally surrounded Kiyono Rin, everyone took the opportunity to gather around the senior.
Asu Mai is cold and doesn't initiate conversation, but compared to the cold-blooded Kiyono Rin, she is considered amiable. Occasionally, she will agree to invitations from girls like Hanada Asako to go out and play.
Watanabe Toru walked up to Kiyono Rin and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Senior Watanabe, I'm asking you some personal questions!" Horikita Mai rushed to answer.
"Personal question?" Toru Watanabe glanced at Kiyono Rin, whose gaze had returned to the book.
“Yeah, about how to take care of your hair!”
"I want to know that, too." Watanabe Toru said, "From the first day we met, I felt that Seino-san's hair was better looking than most people's. Seino-san, how do you take care of it?"
"Do you think I need special care?" Qingye Rin said without looking up, "Use the pads of your fingers to wash your hair, not your nails; after washing, press to absorb the moisture. Depending on the type of hair, whether essential oils are needed and how to blow-dry your hair, ask the beautician yourself."
"That's all? It's like saying nothing." Watanabe Toru was dissatisfied.
"Senior, Watanabe-senpai," Horikita Mai pinched Watanabe Toru's sleeve with her thumb and index finger, "I also asked about Seino-senpai's dream."
"Come to think of it, I don't know what your dream is or what you plan to do in the future?" Watanabe Toru asked Kiyono Rin.
"Let everyone in the world stop lying."
"Don't talk about that, be more practical."
"This is my dream," said Rin Kiyono.
"Besides not letting people lie, there must be something else, right?"
"There should be one indeed." Qingye Rin put her hand on her chin, "Let me think about it."
Horikita Mai's gaze moved back and forth between Kiyono Rin and Watanabe Toru.
She tugged at Watanabe Toru's sleeves again and again, and asked in a low voice:
"Watanabe-senpai, does the senior like you?"
Kiyono Rin slowly raised her head and stared at Horikita Mai.
"Ah!" Horikita Mai tapped her head and laughed, "I heard it."
She has a wavy bob haircut and a round face that is very cute, but it is a pity that Kiyono Rin cares the least about her appearance and even Tokyo Handsome Guy gets scolded by her every day.
Her eyes became extremely sharp, as if she was about to shoot out something terrifying, beautiful, or dangerous like an icicle.
Horikita Mai, who was fearless just now, was so scared that she hid behind Watanabe Toru.
"I didn't say anything nonsense!" She said in grievance, "Just now everyone was chatting with you, senior sister, but you didn't answer anyone. When Watanabe senior came, he asked about hair care methods and dreams, and in just two sentences he got information that we couldn't get for a long time."
The coldness on Qingye Rin's body became more and more severe.
If this continues, Horikita Mai will probably have a very miserable year in the wind band.
"Don't talk nonsense." Watanabe Toru pulled his sleeve out of her hand, "Kiyono and I are just good friends who can talk about anything, that's all."
"But I really feel that Senior Sister likes it..."
"Have you practiced the details of the ending part of the sound that I talked about on Friday?" asked Toru Watanabe.
"I know. Let's go practice now." Horikita Mai left, muttering 'I'm not wrong'.
Toru Watanabe watched her pick up the oboe and play the second chapter according to the music score .
"Don't worry about it, kid."
"I know." Qingye Rin said coldly.
Asu Mai came over with Ikki Aoi.
"Senior Mingri." Qingye Rin greeted politely.
Asuhi Mai nodded and responded softly: "...Rin."
"Huh?!" Ikki Aoi suddenly opened her eyes wide, "Are senior and Kiyono-san so close?"
"…Not good." Asu Mai replied calmly.
"Then?" Ikki Aoi looked confused.
But no one answered her.
Ikki Aoi had no choice but to change the subject and asked Watanabe Toru, who seemed to be the most talkative:
"Watanabe-kun, did you meet Mai-senpai outside?"
"We agreed to come together." Watanabe Toru told the truth.
"Eh?! Are you guys so close?"
"...Yeah." Asu Mai nodded happily.
"Mirai-senpai is learning oboe from me," said Toru Watanabe, "and I went to her concert at the University of Tokyo yesterday."
"Senior's concert? Watanabe-kun, why didn't you call me? I want to go too!" said Aoi Ikki.
"I'm going there with my young mothers, how can I take you with me?" Toru Watanabe glanced at her.
“Young mothers?”
Watanabe Toru pointed at Kiyono Rin: "Her mother, and Miki's mother."
"Ah!" Ikki Aoi covered her mouth tightly, revealing a look of shock, "Could it be that Kiyono's parents and Kujo's parents have agreed that the three of you can be together? This is too unbelievable."
"Ikki-san, have you finished the slurred notes exercise I assigned to you just now?" Kiyono Rin's voice was so cold that it almost turned the music classroom into the moon.
“Um… yes!”
After Ikki Aoi left, Asu Mai stared at Kiyono Rin with her eyes as clear as stream water.
“…Win?”
"If you win, I'll let you know to leave." Qingye Rin said coldly.
Asu Mai nodded: "...I hope you can't win."
"What are you talking about?" asked Toru Watanabe.
Qingye Rin closed the book and stood up. Her pleated skirt swayed, and her calves sticking out from under the skirt became even more charming.
"Matsuri-senpai, you are here to coach the bass group, right? Please don't waste your time. And you," she turned her gaze to Watanabe Toru, "if you don't make progress in the woodwind ensemble next time, just wait for the camping. I will embarrass you."
"Minister Qingye, I am reporting Mr. R Sang for seeking personal revenge."
“That’s called abuse of power.”
"in spite of?"
"I only care about you."
"Could it be that what Horikita-kun said is true? You really like me? Although you are very pretty and your legs are my favorite type, we are really just close friends."
Qingye Rin looked at Watanabe Toru and smiled at him: "I'm looking forward to camping at the end of the month ."
"I'm sorry. I was wrong."
Toru Watanabe didn't take Kiyono Rin's words to heart.
She can see through lies, so if she wants to embarrass Watanabe Toru, she doesn't have to wait for the family camping trip.
She said this, probably she was looking forward to this trip in her heart.
It’s great that both Kujo Miki and Kiyono Rin are no longer alone.
The one who changed them was Toru Watanabe.
"Watanabe Toru, you are amazing. You can really do anything as long as you want to do it." Watanabe Toru rewarded himself in his heart, hoping to keep up the good work.
