Chapter 286 Birthday (5)
When the needle left the vinyl record and the only sound in the world was the sound of waves on Tokyo Bay, the three of them stood up and left the palace-like building.
Back at the garden villa in Kanda-cho, Toru Watanabe half-lay on Miki Kujo's soft big bed.
"You haven't taken a shower for a day. Don't lie down on my bed directly. Go take a shower quickly." Miki Kujo walked into the bedroom.
"Wait a moment." Watanabe Toru reached out and held her.
With a little force, he pulled her down on the bed and held her in his arms.
"Go wash quickly." Kujo Miki urged.
"Kiss for a while first."
As soon as the words left her mouth and her lips found hers, Kujo Miki gently closed her eyes.
The night is quiet, the lights are soft, and you can hear the sound of wind blowing through the leaves in the garden outside the window.
Their lips parted, Miki Kujo stroked Toru Watanabe's face, and the two looked at each other in silence for a long time.
"Just now, Qingye Rin asked you, why didn't you tell her that you support her?" she suddenly asked.
"She doesn't need anyone's support." Watanabe Toru put his hand on Kujo Miki's slender waist, "Some things don't need to be said. She just had an argument with her mother. Who hasn't had an argument with their parents?"
Kujo Miki said nothing and motioned for him to continue.
"I changed the subject on purpose just now to distract attention and avoid the atmosphere from being too depressing. This is all I can do now. It's not time for me to support her yet."
"You care about her."
"Part of it is because of this, and part of it is not. I hope that my life, no matter how life goes or how many setbacks I encounter, can always maintain a relaxed atmosphere."
After saying that, Watanabe Toru grabbed Kujo Miki's hand on his face and said:
"Do you know how I managed to survive when we first started dating and I was living under your threat?"
"Tell me about it." Kujo Miki said with a soft smile.
"When I read books about fitness, I always think to myself: 'The purpose is not to lose weight and become beautiful, or to seduce pretty girls, but to stick to something that I have always hated and am not good at! Kujo Miki, you can't imagine how much I hate you and how amazing you are!'"
Kujo Miki smiled very happily.
"What else?" she asked with interest.
"This is your first time in the Human Observation Department." Watanabe Toru also smiled.
"Um."
"You proposed to vote for the minister, but I didn't agree. After school, you beat me up in the car and asked me to take off your shoes and stockings. While I was taking them off, I comforted myself in my heart, 'It doesn't matter, I am taking advantage, I am taking advantage'."
"Didn't you take advantage?"
"You originally belonged to me, how can that be considered taking advantage of me?" Watanabe Toru slid his hand down from her waist and stroked her slender legs through her luxurious dress.
"That's all I can say now, but if you could go back in time, you probably wouldn't come to Ochanomizu." Kujo Miki teased half-seriously.
“Before a family trip, I might have hesitated, but now I will definitely go.”
"Come to tease me again?"
"We went on a trip to Izu and took a hot spring bath together at night. At that time, I thought, it would be nice if we could always do this. I occasionally had this thought before, but now, it is my constant thought."
Watanabe Toru put his hands into her beautiful black hair, held her delicate and charming little face, looked into her clear and charming eyes, and whispered softly:
"Meiji, no matter how many ifs there are, one thing will never change - you must be mine."
Kujo Miki looked at Watanabe Toru and responded softly in her now gentle voice:
"Then I'll tell you, whether you go to Ochanomizu or not, I'm going to get you even if I have to threaten you with my family."
The two kissed again.
Between their lips, they conveyed to each other the strong will of 'you are mine and must be mine'.
At some point, the two separated.
"If you kiss like this, your lips will definitely be swollen tomorrow." Watanabe Toru said with a low laugh.
"Let's see who's swollen." Miki Kujo hugged his head and they kissed again.
"Meiji, I love you more and more." After they separated again, Watanabe Toru whispered.
"I have loved you to the limit." Kujo Miki also whispered softly.
Toru Watanabe was feeling every minute and every second at this moment, and suddenly thought of something and couldn't help laughing.
"What's wrong?" Miki Kujo asked him curiously.
"Being with you, there is a sense of decadence."
"Degenerate?"
"Who do you think you are? The princess of the Kujo family. What do you do? Exploitation and murder. I'm a poor country boy with a smart brain, top grades in the country, self-disciplined and hardworking. I can enjoy a wealthy life and stand under the scorching sun holding a billboard. I'm the most outstanding among the common people. I should have overthrown you and taken back the rights for the common people from you, but now the two of us are lying on the same bed."
"I am not strong-willed."
"Underestimate me? I'm infiltrating the enemy." Watanabe Toru reached into her dress.
Kujo Miki clamped her legs together, and Watanabe Toru didn't insist on taking a step closer.
"I don't find it funny." she asked.
"The funny part is later, the way I talk to people."
"What does this have to do with the way you talk?"
"I originally said to you, 'You evil creature, the daughter of the devil, the dregs of the old times, I will put an end to you', and you laughed wildly..."
"Haha, laughing wildly, am I a fool?"
Watanabe Toru was amused by her, and Kujo Miki also laughed.
"Listen to me." He said seriously, pinching her thigh. "You laughed wildly and said, 'The Kujo family is a noble family with a destiny. You are just an ant, and you want to resist me? Kneel down!'"
"That's possible." Miki Kujo personally approved of screenwriter Watanabe's creation of her character.
"Faced with the great villain Jiujo, I said with determination: 'Once, twice, even if I fail, justice will surely prevail! We will fight on forever! Even if I die, I will take you with me!' Then we both died together."
"A third-rate script." Kujo Miki said, "That was before, what about now?"
"Now, I represent the nobility, stand opposite the common people, raise my supreme wisdom spear, hardworking hammer, and in the holy voice of self-discipline, say to those who try to break the class: 'Rebellious people, ignorant people who dare to challenge authority, what are your last words?'"
Miki Kujo laughed, and Toru Watanabe's tone changed with the story, and it really sounded like that, which was very interesting.
"How is it?" Watanabe Toru said proudly.
"Hmm..." Kujo Miki pretended to be silent, "My dear, Toru, I think it's time for you to graduate from your chuunibyou."
"Look down on me?" Toru Watanabe turned over, pressed on the villain Kujo, and tickled her.
"Hahaha, what are you doing? Let go!" Kujo Miki couldn't help laughing while she protected herself with her hands and twisted her body to dodge.
"You evil witch, let me purify you!"
"How dare you, you disobedient man... Hahaha! Let go, stop. I admit defeat, I admit defeat. The entire Kujo family is yours!"
"The victory of justice." Watanabe Toru stopped.
Miki Kujo was panting, her eyes were watery.
She took a deep breath, then suddenly turned over, sat on Watanabe Toru's waist and pressed him under her.
"The rebel, Toru Watanabe, do you have any last words before you die?" She licked her rosy and attractive lips, revealing a cruel and sinister smile.
"I'm not married yet, at least let me leave offspring!"
"As the heir of the Kujo family, I agree to your request."
Miki Kujo leaned over, bit Watanabe Toru's lips, and tried to eat his tongue.
The next morning, Toru Watanabe came back from his morning run in the Imperial Palace and stood in the garden to tease the Queen.
This bird came to Tokyo from the mountains. It had no problem adapting to the environment and was not afraid of people at all. It didn't take any of the servants in the villa seriously.
Miki Kujo built a nest for it by the window of the study on the second floor. It could shelter it from wind and rain, but the bird could fly out whenever it wanted - its range of activities was limited to the garden.
After waiting for Kujo Miki to get up, the two sat together to eat breakfast.
"How are the roses I gave you last time?" asked Toru Watanabe.
He gave the sign-in reward [Love Rose] for one year of dating directly to Kujo Miki. Apart from the brief introduction given by the system, he had no idea what it was used for.
"In the garden."
"Nothing magical?"
"What's so magical about it?" asked Miki Kujo.
"I'm asking you."
"I also wanted to ask you why you asked me to draw blood in order to grow roses."
"It will be useful." After finishing his meal, Toru Watanabe leaned lazily in his chair and drank milk contentedly.
"You don't know either?"
"You know how could I not tell you?"
"Then how did you get these things?"
"Would I not tell you if I could?"
Kujo Miki stared at him as she took the last few bites.
After eating, she put down the cutlery, picked up the napkin and wiped her mouth elegantly: "What are your plans today?"
"Not yet, what about you?"
"I have classes during the weekdays, and of course I have to work on weekends."
"Can I stay with you?" said Toru Watanabe.
"Go and keep your two lovers company." Kujo Miki put down her napkin and drank her tea. "That Koizumi Aina's birthday is on Monday?"
"right."
"What gift should I give her?" Kujo Miki said with a smile while looking at Watanabe Toru while holding a teacup.
"You've given her the best gift."
Kujo Miki was noncommittal: "What did you give her?"
Watanabe Toru put down the empty cup of milk and flicked his earlobe with his fingers: "Earrings."
"Let me tell you this in advance, don't accuse me of being unreasonable. Jewelry, house, it's up to you, but if you dare to give me a ring, I will cut off their fingers." Kujo Miki sneered.
The gentle and playful Kujo Miki only exists in a bed with only two people.
"Well, it's best to explain it this way. I'm afraid that all the emotions accumulated in my heart will suddenly explode." Watanabe Toru said, "Anything else?"
"It's about the child." Kujo Miki took a sip of tea. "I don't want to say anything cruel to you, but you know it well."
"There couldn't be one before you?"
"I asked you to raise them because I owe you two, but that doesn't mean I will tolerate their recklessness."
"It's not a big deal," said Toru Watanabe. "A couple needs to tolerate and accommodate each other in order to move forward. Moreover, our situation is so complicated. Either you take a step back, or I take a step back, or they take a step back. Mai-senpai and Koizumi-sensei have no intention of asking for more. That's totally fine. Miki, you've given us enough."
Miki Kujo glanced at him and put down her teacup.
"It's Koizumi Aonai's birthday. Please give me a gift."
Watanabe Toru sat up slightly and looked at her in disbelief .
"Husband and wife should tolerate each other. I will accommodate you and not make things difficult for you. And you should not disappoint me."
"Are you still thinking about what Qing Ye Lin said last night?"
"You two," Kujo Miki sneered, "one of you believes that the other will definitely support her; the other believes that support is not just about words, but about actual actions."
"My support does not include agreeing to let her marry into the Kiyono family," Toru Watanabe explained quickly.
"If you had, I would have bitten off your tongue last night."
"...By the way, Miki, you know Kiyono Rin very well. By the way, you didn't tell me the story of your childhood last night."
"I'll tell you next time when I remember."
After breakfast, Kujo Miki went to work, and Watanabe Toru went out, heading towards Jimbocho station, walking into bookstores one after another on the roadside.
I was in a small bookstore called "Kōbunkan" opposite the station when I received a Line message from Koizumi Aona.
"We've arrived at Atami"
"Is it fun?"
"There's a free footbath at the station! It's the best hot spring resort in the island country!"
"Teacher, please give me a photo of you soaking your feet. This is the only time I will ask for this in my life!"
「!!!」
Watanabe Toru smiled. He liked legs, not feet. He was just joking.
Atami is in Izu. Two days before the end of this year's spring vacation, he and Kujo Miki went to Kawazu to enjoy the cherry blossoms and rape flowers, and they also played the role of a dancer at night.
But I didn't go to Atami.
After walking around the bookstore and coming to the magazine area, Toru Watanabe picked up a magazine about recommended tourist attractions in June.
The cover photo of the magazine is Okinawa, introducing places such as "Kamakura·Hydrangea", "Izu·Hot Springs", and "Hokkaido·Furano".
He turned to the Izu chapter and read it page by page.
Pictures of Atami, blue sky, wide and empty seaside road, and tall palm trees planted on both sides of the road.
It doesn't look like an island country at all. If I have to say, it feels a bit like Hawaii.
"Buzz~"
Toru Watanabe took out his vibrating cell phone, clicked it and saw three female teachers with their calves rolled up and their feet soaking in the hot spring.
“…”
Because I was shy and didn’t want to take the photo by myself, so I took the photo with my two best friends?
After saying "Thank you for the treat," Toru Watanabe posted an emoticon of a geisha bowing with her hands on the ground.
"!"
Koizumi Aona was probably so shy that she didn't know what to say.
Toru Watanabe put away his phone and picked up a book whose story takes place in Atami.
Pay at the counter, walk across the zebra crossing, and take the Shinjuku Line back to Shinanomachi.
There is no seat near the door, but the middle of the bench is empty - the island nation is a bit like the Chinese in this respect. They don't like conspicuous seats, and the seats near the side are usually occupied first.
"Confucian cultural circle." He sighed in his heart and walked over to sit down.
The tram was shaking and he took out the book he had just bought and started reading.
When he was changing trains at Ichigaya, an idea suddenly occurred to him:
I won’t go back to Shinano-machi. I’ll go to Atami now to secretly meet Koizumi Aona, just as a birthday surprise for her.
