Chapter 279 Family Trip (12)
"I haven't played like this for a long time." Mrs. Qingye sat in the passenger seat, enjoying the breeze blowing in from the window.
"It mainly depends on your choice of location," said Toru Watanabe.
"I remember clearly what you said yesterday that I might not be able to make money. It's no use saying anything nice to me now." Mrs. Qingye said with a grudge.
"I said 'I'm not making money yet', how come it became 'I can't make money'?"
"Watanabe-kun," Mrs. Kujo turned on the right turn signal, "Don't reason with a woman, just admit your mistakes."
"It was my fault. I forgot such an important truth."
"You learn pretty quickly." Miki Kujo said with a smile.
"After all, it's number one in the country. By the way, Kujo-mama, just drop me off at Yotsuya Station."
"I'll get off at Yotsuya too," Kiyono Rin said.
"good."
Arriving at Yotsuya Station, Mrs. Kujo looked for a place to park the car.
"Goodbye." Watanabe Toru waved to the three of them, "Meiji, see you at school tomorrow."
Kujo Miki nodded slightly.
"Watanabe-kun," Mrs. Kujo said as she started the car, "Let's go out and play after your summer vacation."
"Does it include food and lodging? If not, I'll start working part-time to save money."
"Bag." Mrs. Kujo replied with a smile.
"That's good."
"For the summer vacation, how about a beach villa? It can be either domestic or abroad," Mrs. Kiyono suggested.
"Forget about going abroad, let's go to the country." Mrs. Kujo said, "If you don't want to go to the beach, you can go to the mountains of Karuizawa to escape the summer heat."
"Beep-beep--" the car behind honked its horn to urge the driver to move forward.
"Watanabe-kun, please help me check the license plate of the car behind us." Mrs. Kujo said with a smile.
"Let's go to the beach or to Karuizawa. We'll discuss it during the summer vacation." After saying that, Watanabe Toru took a few steps back and waved his hand.
Mrs. Kujo glanced at Watanabe Toru with displeasure, her eyes were charming and alluring.
She stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
Watanabe Toru watched them go away, then turned back and said to Kiyono Rin:
"Didn't she tell me to obey the law when we went there?"
"Yes." As he said this, Qingye Rin couldn't help but yawn a little.
The first night, she was not used to the strange place;
On the second night, it was already twelve o'clock when everyone dispersed. At one o'clock, she was still by the lake, discussing "what is life" with Watanabe Toru.
"Go back and have a good rest. I won't see you off." After a short pause, Watanabe Toru said, "I won't send you roses anymore."
From today on, sending flowers, reading private diaries, hugging each other in the crowded tram, going back to hometown together, making eye contact... all of these have become a thing of the past and can never be done again.
No matter how close they are, they are just friends.
Watanabe Toru and Kiyono Rin are friends forever.
As I thought about it, the feeling of sadness began to spread again.
There were noisy crowds around him, surging traffic beside him, and flashing traffic lights not far away. Although he was in the crowded Tokyo, Toru Watanabe felt like he was in a deserted city ruins.
"I'm leaving." Watanabe Toru said before falling into uncontrollable sadness.
"Watanabe-san."
"Anything else, Kiyono-san?"
"I can see through a person's lies. I never care what a person says or does. I only look at a person's true inner thoughts. In my opinion, it makes no difference whether you actually send me a gift or not, because your true intention is to send me a gift."
"...Didn't you say you wanted me to be myself? How can I still do that after you said that?"
"Yeah." Qing Ye Lin smiled and said, "But if I can't insist on being myself, how can I ask others to do that?"
"That's right. I've heard you say something similar."
Toru Watanabe thought back to a long time ago - just a year ago actually.
The two helped Koizumi Aona to tutor students. While having a barbecue in the evening, Koizumi Aona advised Kiyono Rin not to be too demanding of her friends not to lie. At that time, she said, "Since I don't lie, I have the right to ask others to do so."
"Besides not lying, what kind of person do you want to be?" asked Toru Watanabe.
"Just like I have always done, pursue what I want and let those who love each other love each other."
"Come to think of it, there is actually something I have always wanted to do." He changed the subject.
"What?"
"Let you and Meiji become friends again."
Qingye Rin was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "Are you concerned about her or me?"
"I care about you two." Watanabe Toru said, "Please rest assured that I will not be as deliberate as your mother. I don't like to force others."
"But you like to put something in the trap that others need, so that they will fall into your trap willingly."
"Tell the other person your purpose clearly and don't force them - such a gentle thing, why does it become a conspiracy when it comes to you, Qingye-san?"
"I never lie."
"I lied?"
“Ask yourself.”
"I don't know if I have any conspiracy or not, but you are really good at speaking."
"This is a reflection of my being smarter than you. You don't have to be too disappointed. After all, intelligence is mainly innate."
"What about the day after tomorrow's exercise?"
"If you take into account acquired training, you are even worse than me." Qingye Rin said confidently.
"Whatever you say is what it is. I have nothing to say."
"Are you feeling better?" Qingye Rin suddenly asked with a soft laugh.
“……” Watanabe Toru really had nothing to say this time.
"You're going to go back and tell Asuka Mai and Koizumi Aona the good news, right? They won't be happy if you look like you've lost hope in life and are thinking about other women. Didn't you cover it up well yesterday?"
"Is this also one of the ways to make me fall in love with you?"
"Oh, haven't you fallen in love with me a long time ago?"
"That was one of the ways to take me away from them?"
"Part of it."
"Part of it?" Watanabe Toru asked, "Do you still care about Mai-senpai and Koizumi-sensei?"
"I'm concerned about you, Watanabe-san." Qing Yelin stared at him with clear eyes, "Just stand there honestly, don't be sad, don't feel guilty, wait for me to pass by."
“…”
"No need to be grateful. It is God's duty to save her believers."
"You..." Watanabe Toru opened his mouth to say something.
Kiyono Rin waited quietly for a while, and Watanabe Toru finally didn't say anything.
She put her hand on her chin, pondered, and said word by word, as if deciphering a code:
"'Why do you have to be so perfect? If there's even a little flaw, I can catch it, magnify it, and give myself a reason to be just friends with you' - is this what you want to say?"
Toru Watanabe once again felt the extremely clear and crystal love between the two.
"Goodbye," he said.
"See you tomorrow." Qingye Rin responded with a smile.
Toru Watanabe turned and walked into the station, taking the Sobu Line back to Shinanocho.
The tram was shaking. Today was still a sunny day. Under the sunlight, the shadow of the car window was cast at my feet.
Toru Watanabe looked at the scenery outside the window.
In the four or five-story apartment, some people were drying quilts on the balcony, and some were watering potted plants. He looked at these and thought about what had just happened.
He had joked many times that Qingye Rin was a god, but when he heard her say, "Just stand there honestly, don't be sad, don't feel guilty, wait for me to pass by," he truly felt how charming she was.
Finally, he decided not to think about it anymore.
Thinking further, no matter how determined he was, he couldn't remain indifferent to a nearly perfect beauty like Kiyono Rin.
Maybe it has nothing to do with determination or something like that. As long as one is a human being, he or she has the instinct to fall in love with her.
He opened the system and clicked on the "May Gift Pack".
[Players open the "May Gift Pack"]
【Warm and cold weather subsidy: 100 million yen】
【Spring sleepiness: portable pillow*1】
[May Disease: Choose one of three (Master level: singing, cycling , mountain climbing)]
【Plum rain is coming: Umbrella*1】
Selecting the skill "Mastery Level·Singing", Toru Watanabe clicks on the detailed introduction of "Portable Pillow" and "Umbrella".
[Pillow: comfortable, helps with sleep, prevents stiff neck, easy to carry]
"I'll give it to Meiji tomorrow."
[Umbrella: As long as you hold it well, you will never get wet in the rain]
"Hold it well?" Watanabe Toru looked at the picture of the "umbrella".
It's not the giant parasol you see at the entrance of a coffee shop. It's no different from the transparent umbrellas that cost 200 yen each at a convenience store. It looks like a magical prop.
But no matter how magical it is, it just won’t get wet by the rain.
This was also within Watanabe Toru's expectations. The system was very demanding on skills and props.
When I came back to my senses from the panel, the train just pulled into Shinano-machi Station.
After crossing the overpass, Toru Watanabe walked on the avenue lined with apricot trees, thinking about the reactions of Koizumi Aona and Asuka Mai after they knew the news, and then wondered whether the two were at home now.
The steps gradually became lighter.
"When he gets home later, he should pretend to be very excited and take the opportunity to hug Mr. Koizumi again? He should be able to forgive him."
Before reaching the bottom of the apartment building, I saw Aona Koizumi hanging out her quilts on the balcony of Room 502 from afar.
Watanabe Toru waved at her.
Even though they were far away, Toru Watanabe could see Koizumi Aona's oval face turn red.
She pretended not to see him on the street, calmly patted Watanabe Toru's quilt twice, and turned to leave the balcony.
Toru Watanabe walked into the apartment, took the elevator, and sent her a message.
"502 or 501?"
"I've been in 501!"
"Then could you please help me collect the quilt? It's been on the balcony for two nights. I don't know if it's damp."
"Now that you're back, go collect it yourself."
"So you saw me?"
"..."
"Open the door, I'm here"
Toru Watanabe put away his phone and walked out of the elevator, just in time to hear the door of Room 501 open.
It was three minutes past ten in the morning on Sunday, and Aona Koizumi was still wearing her pajamas—long buttoned pajamas with a homely style.
"Did you go anywhere during the three-day break?" Toru Watanabe walked in, threw his luggage bag at the entrance, and changed into slippers.
"To mark the papers."
"What place am I in?" asked Toru Watanabe.
"We'll know tomorrow." Koizumi Aona sat on the sofa and took the pillow and hugged it in her arms.
"I want to hug the teacher as soon as possible." Toru Watanabe sat next to her.
Koizumi Aina quickly moved to the side, keeping a hand's distance from him: "Didn't you take an advance on Thursday?"
"Is there? Hmm - I can't quite remember." Watanabe Toru put his left hand on the armrest of the sofa and slowly moved his upper body closer to Koizumi Aona. "Teacher, help me review."
"Watanabe!" Koizumi Aona hugged the pillow tightly, as if the pillow could save her.
She almost collapsed onto the sofa.
"What's the matter, Teacher Aona?" Toru Watanabe smelled a faint fragrance on her, which was very similar to magnolia.
"You get up first!" Koizumi Aona looked at the direction of the bedroom anxiously and guiltily, afraid that Akiko and Miyazaki Miyuki would wake up.
"teacher."
Watanabe Toru's tone was serious, and he stopped pressing down with his upper body. Koizumi Aona subconsciously withdrew her gaze and listened to what he said carefully.
"Meiji knows about us."
Koizumi Aona's ruddy face turned pale in an instant, her eyes were flustered, and then became firm again.
"Watanabe, just say that the teacher seduced you. This matter has nothing to do with you. I will talk to Kujo-san..."
"Teacher, she agreed."
“……” Koizumi Aona stared blankly at Watanabe Toru.
"Teacher, Miki agrees that we can be together!" Watanabe Toru raised his voice slightly.
"Agree...?"
"Agreed." Watanabe Toru laughed happily, "Agreed!"
He suddenly reached out and hugged Koizumi Aona's waist and spun around in the living room.
"She agreed that we could be together! Mr. Koizumi! Aona!"
"I know, I know, let me go first and stop turning around, or you'll wake up Miyuki and the others!"
Toru Watanabe stopped spinning and laid Koizumi Aona on the sofa.
At the same time, he put his knees between her legs, his hands on the side of her head, his face a fist's distance away, and looked into her eyes.
"Teacher," Toru Watanabe said excitedly, "from now on, we can go out on a date."
"Yeah!" Koizumi Aona nodded vigorously with the same anticipation.
They looked at each other happily, and gradually, Watanabe Toru's breathing became heavy.
"Watanabe?" Koizumi Aona probed cautiously.
She noticed his gaze. Watanabe Toru was staring at the chest of her pajamas, where there should be nothing.
Koizumi Aona looked over and her face instantly turned red - when she was turning around just now, a button on her chest had come undone.
You can vaguely see the attractive white lines.
And, at home on Sunday, she wasn’t wearing a bra.
"Gurgle," Koizumi Aona swallowed nervously.
"Teacher." Watanabe Toru's voice was seductive and gentle like a spring breeze blowing open flower buds.
Her heart was pounding and her snow-white neck was dyed red.
The sunlight passed through the balcony, covering the two of them like a golden veil.
The room is bright, and the light outlines Watanabe Toru's handsome features, deep and tender eyes, straight nose, passionate lips, and sexy jawline.
As Koizumi Aona watched, she felt a little breathless for some reason and subconsciously lowered her eyes.
Watanabe Toru kissed her.
"Hmm~" Koizumi Aona let out a slight moan.
She couldn't help herself and gently put her arms around Watanabe Toru's shoulders.
Her lips, her heart , melted in the tenderness of spring.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk.”
"Even if it's just a kiss, please go back to the bedroom."
The teasing voice made the intoxicated Koizumi Aona suddenly open her eyes.
Looking over there, the two friends are staring at this side. What about this side?
She pushed Watanabe Toru away violently.
"No! Not like that!"
"Not what?" Akiko asked, "Not kissing?"
"No...actually...I..." Koizumi Aona was too embarrassed to speak.
She bit her lower lip which was full of desire and anxiously asked Watanabe Toru for help.
"Hmm." Watanabe Toru sat on the sofa. "Actually, Teacher Koizumi suddenly fainted due to anemia just now. I undressed her just to keep her breathing smooth and gave her artificial respiration at the same time."
"Yes, that's it!" Koizumi Aona nodded seriously, but unfortunately her face was too red and her eyes were watery.
"Hahaha!" Akiko burst into laughter.
Koizumi Aona's face turned even redder, and she stared at Watanabe Toru as if she was angry, happy, or expectant.
