"There is one more thing." Toru Watanabe said to Yuko Kiyono.

"Hmm?" Kiyono Yuko motioned for him to speak directly.

"About you and Qingye..."

"Which Kiyono? Me? Rin's aunt Kiyono Riko? Rin's aunt Kiyono Manori? Rin's..."

"I didn't know you were so stupid." Mrs. Kujo said sarcastically.

"Hmm~" Mrs. Kiyono winked mischievously and asked Toru Watanabe, "Which Kiyono?"

"About you and Rin..."

"Yeah." Kiyono Yuko nodded with satisfaction.

"Regarding your agreement with Rin, can you reconsider it?" After a pause, Watanabe Toru said, "In order to let Qing...Rin take over the Qingye family, you should have tried all the methods you should have tried. The so-called half-year agreement is actually just a reluctant one, and there is no guarantee at all."

Kiyono Yuko didn't say anything, and Watanabe Toru continued:

"Since I can make her and Meiji reconcile, I should be the person in the world most likely to let her take over the Seino family."

"I don't deny that I'm not sure. You are the most likely person, but there is one thing," Kiyono Yuko looked at Watanabe Toru, "you let them reconcile because it concerns your own love..."

"It's not like that." Toru Watanabe had to explain.

But some of his true words are hard to believe, and probably no one would believe them except Kiyono Rin.

There are some bizarre ideas that even Kiyono Rin doesn't believe, but Kujo Miki easily believes them.

"That's fine either way." Mrs. Kiyono was also one of those who didn't believe it. "For you, letting Rin take over the Kiyono family is completely dispensable. In that case, can you still force Rin like you asked them to reconcile?"

"No." This question does not require any thought.

Watanabe Toru added: "If I can't let her take over, I'm willing to manage the Seino family for her in the future. I'm not bragging, but if I want to do it, I can do anything well."

"I can't pretend I didn't hear that." Mrs. Kujo interrupted, "Does this mean you want to marry into the Kiyono family?"

"...I mean, it should just be managed for her, right?" Watanabe Toru asked puzzledly.

"Disappointed." Mrs. Qingye pretended to be disappointed, then waved her hand, "Forget it, I trust Rin, and Rin trusts you, you two make the decision."

"Speaking of future plans, Watanabe-kun, I haven't asked you seriously , have you decided what you want to do in the future?" asked Mrs. Kujo.

Watanabe Toru is getting excited.

He pushed the wine glass aside and leaned forward slightly. "I have made a small breakthrough in artificial intelligence. My dear mothers-in-law, we are not far from ruling the world."

"So you're studying neurology." Mrs. Kiyono nodded in understanding.

Mrs. Kujo seemed to be thinking about something and looked at Toru Watanabe with a slight smile.

"I was just kidding." Toru Watanabe sat up straight and laughed as if he was joking.

…

September 27th, Wednesday, was a day when autumn began to take hold.

The streets have been cleaned up quickly, but traces of the typhoon can still be seen on the trees on both sides of the way to school.

Toru Watanabe walked into the classroom and saw Miki Kujo lying on the pillow, teasing Kiyono Rin with an expression as if she was teasing a sulky child.

Kiyono Rin had a blank expression on her face, holding a novel by the queen of British mystery novels - Christie.

"Good morning, both of you," he greeted and walked to his seat.

Miki Kujo glanced at him with a smile, and her eyes fell back on the fair and delicate little face of Rin Kiyono.

"Rin, I've already apologized, can you please forgive me?" If the teasing and mischief in her tone were toned down ten times, perhaps it would be able to fool most people.

"My K-san," Watanabe Toru couldn't bear it any longer, "Enough is enough. Didn't you see that she has started reading detective and crime novels?"

"Please rest assured, no matter what, I will not use the same techniques as in the book." Qingye Rin said while looking at the book.

"I don't deny that you are planning to kill me." Kujo Miki said with a smile.

"He didn't admit it either." Watanabe Toru added.

"Everyone, sit back in your seats, the class meeting is about to begin." Koizumi Aona walked in wearing a teacher's uniform and holding a lesson plan in her hand.

Kiyono Rin closed the book, and Kujo Miki was still lazily hugging the pillow.

Toru Watanabe turned around and looked at the beautiful teacher Aona Koizumi on the podium.

"The cultural festival is over, everyone should start preparing to study hard, there will be an exam tomorrow..."

The scene was the same as before, as if nothing had changed, yet it seemed completely different.

Over the next two days, the school held its September tests.

On Friday, after the last exam, Toru Watanabe, who was on duty, filled out the duty roster and came to the office alone.

There were few people in the office, and many teachers had already gone home.

Aona Koizumi and Akiko were still there. Akiko was grading papers, while Aona Koizumi was typing something on the computer.

"Teacher Aona." Toru Watanabe put the duty roster on her desk.

On the desk, there are succulents and roses in a vase. Pens are neatly inserted in pen holders and documents are in good order.

Just by looking at this desk, you can imagine the beauty and love of life of its owner.

Koizumi Aonai checked the form and confirmed that it was complete, then asked him, "Do you plan to go back by yourself, or come with us?"

"What are you busy with?" asked Toru Watanabe.

The other teachers had all left, so there was no reason for only the two of them to be busy.

"You three have been recommended ." Koizumi Aona smiled happily, "I am sorting out your grades and then filling in the evaluations from your teachers and the school."

"I forgot everything," said Toru Watanabe.

"Watanabe," Akiko stood up and patted the back of her chair, "Don't stand all the time, come sit down."

“Are you such a good teacher?”

"Of course! In Kamikawa High School, I am the most gentle to students!"

"Teacher Akiko, let me tell you something. You are recognized by the students as the strictest female teacher."

"There's not enough homework." Akiko said something very cruel. "Okay, sit down."

Watanabe Toru sat on a chair that still had body temperature. Akiko immediately handed him a red pen and a piece of paper: "Here are the reference answers."

"Will you treat us tonight? I want to eat the barbecue at Xuxuen." Toru Watanabe began to mark the test papers of Class 1.

"Xu Xu Yuan is too expensive. I can only afford to eat there once a month!"

"Where's the money you saved?"

"An ordinary female teacher has worked hard to save money to buy a house. Can you bear to spend it?"

"Whether you buy a house or not, what does it have to do with me?"

Aona Koizumi was sorting documents on the side, occasionally smiling as she watched the two people quarreling.

"I'll go first." The physics teacher of Class 4 passed by here.

"Thank you for your hard work today." Since the other party was older, Koizumi Aona and Akiko said respectfully.

"Thank you for your hard work." After saying that, the physics teacher saw Watanabe Toru and said, "Congratulations, Watanabe-san."

"Thanks to the teacher's teachings." Watanabe Toru has always been humble and is the only conscience of the Human Observation Department.

"Although you have received the recommendation, you must listen carefully in my classes in the future." As he spoke, the physics teacher became more excited and chattered for a long time, and even recommended a blind date to Akiko.

After she left, Akiko breathed a sigh of relief in an exaggerated manner.

"When I go back to my hometown, my parents urge me; when I am at school, other teachers urge me. How can I be happy?" she said.

"Jiujiuen." Toru Watanabe wrote "91" on Tamamo Yoshimi's test paper.

After Koizumi Aona finished sorting out the documents, the three of them went to the infirmary to meet Miyazaki Miyuki, and then took a bus back to Shinano Town together.

I didn’t go to Xuxuyuan in the evening. I bought some ingredients and had a barbecue in Room 501.

"Celebrate Watanabe's recommendation to the University of Tokyo. Cheers!"

"cheers!"

Everyone drank heartily, the meat on the grill sizzled, and the vegetables remained silent, emitting a fragrant aroma.

While waiting for the meat to be cooked, Toru Watanabe took out his cell phone and told his parents the news.

Getting a recommendation from the University of Tokyo is not important to him, but for his parents, they must be very happy and proud that he can be admitted to the University of Tokyo in advance.

When sending a message, notice the family group.

After some consideration, he pulled Koizumi Aona and Asuka Mai in.

"Teacher, senior, I'll add you to a group."

"Group?" Koizumi Aona picked up the phone in confusion.

"The harem?" Akiko asked, "How shameless!"

"How is that possible?!" Even if I wanted to create that kind of group, it would be many years later, not now.

"What is that..." Before Akiko could finish her words, Koizumi Aona screamed.

"Watanabe--" Her voice was almost a cry, full of panic and shyness.

"What's wrong?" Miyazaki Miyuki asked puzzledly.

Koizumi Aona didn't answer her. She held the phone in both hands, hesitating about what to type.

In the chat group.

"Ah, it's getting lively." (Kiyono)

"Hehe" (nine)

"What's wrong?" (Watanabe's mother)

"Hello, Watanabe-san. I am Koizumi Aona." (Aona)

"Mr. Koizumi?!" (Watanabe's mother)

"...Yes" (Aina)

"Hello, Auntie. I'm Asuka Mai." (Mai)

"Hello" (Watanabe's mother)

On this side, Toru Watanabe received a private message from his mother.

“What’s going on?!”

"Well...your son is a scumbag."

"Have you done anything to let Rin-chan and Miki down?"

"This is our own business, mom, just know that they are all my girlfriends."

"Koizumi Aona is your teacher, right?!"

"Are you happy that your child will have someone to help him with his homework for free from now on?"

"You kid!"

"Watanabe, your mother ignored me. Is she angry?" Koizumi Aona was very worried.

"Teacher Koizumi is very anxious now and suspects that you hate her. Mom, please go and reply to the message in the group."

After a while, Toru Watanabe saw Koizumi Aona breathe a sigh of relief, then gradually feel at ease and reply to the message with a smile.

Asu Mai still looked calm and had no feelings about this matter.

Akiko and Miyuki Miyazaki gathered around Aona Koizumi and gave her advice on how to please middle-aged women.

Toru Watanabe is in charge of taking care of the neglected barbecue.

After eating the barbecue, since Akiko paid for the ingredients, Miyazaki Miyuki and Asuka Mai washed the dishes - this arrangement shows their close friendship, so Watanabe Toru and Koizumi Aona washed the dishes.

Aona Koizumi was responsible for washing, and all Watanabe Toru had to do was dry the dishes she had washed and then place them neatly on the dish rack.

"Why did you suddenly introduce me to your parents?" Koizumi Aona's heart was still not settled, its heartbeat was pounding, but she also breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge burden had been lifted from her life.

"I want to be an honest person, and after all, they are my parents, so they will definitely accept my willfulness."

"I'm so scared. Will Kujo-san be angry?"

"No, she has a bad temper and doesn't care much about my parents' feelings."

Koizumi Aona glanced at Watanabe Toru and saw that he looked relaxed, and felt the love between him and Kujo Miki.

She couldn't find the right words to describe this feeling, and could only think of a word that wasn't so nice but very appropriate - in cahoots with each other.

It sounds bad, but it gives off a kind of intimacy that doesn't care about the other person's past, future, or personality.

It’s like when the mother dies, the father says to the child: “Why wasn’t you the one who died!” - It’s cruel, excessive, incomprehensible, and yet there’s something heart-touching in it.

"Teacher, when you go back to your hometown, do your parents urge you to go on a blind date?"

"Of course I have said that, but not as much as Akiko's parents." As if remembering Akiko's troubled look, Koizumi Aona couldn't help laughing.

"Teacher, can you and I go back for a while?" Watanabe Toru stopped wiping the dishes.

"Go back?" Koizumi Aona was stunned at first, and stopped washing the dishes, then she reacted, "Come back to the countryside of Kobe with me?"

"Can't?"

"...Of course I can, but I want to wait until you graduate from college."

"There are still five years left, Teacher, you..."

"Don't tell me!"

"Oh." Toru Watanabe has realized from the two ladies how much women reject age.

He said: "I don't want to make your parents worry all the time. You are a girl, so you may not be able to tell your parents everything like I do, but we can keep it a secret from them. It is more important than anything else to make your parents feel at ease and not worry about you."

"Of course I thought about it, but... you're too young." Koizumi Aona continued washing the dishes.

She quite liked the handsome appearance of Watanabe Toru and couldn't get enough of looking at him, but this became a disadvantage when it came to meeting his parents.

"I can dress more maturely, and then I'll show you my acting skills. I promise to make the teacher's parents believe it."

"Really?" Although things sounded unrealistic, Koizumi Aona was in a very happy mood, and her voice carried the vitality of a fish jumping out of the water.

"Tomorrow, we'll go buy some more mature clothes, and then I'll show you how to do it."

The two of them chatted back and forth, discussing how to dress, when to return to Kobe, what gifts to buy, how to address Koizumi Aona's parents, and what to do if they were found out.

Washing dishes became a joyful thing.

Koizumi Aona believes that her life no longer needs new happiness or new surprises.

Today is another day of being satisfied with life.

When they got home in the evening, Toru Watanabe and Mai Asuka first found an old movie to watch. It was called "Interstellar", a very good science fiction movie.

Afterwards it was a great pleasure.

Before going to bed, Toru Watanabe took out his mobile phone and had to scroll through the messages in the group.

"Teacher Aona, how is Toru doing in school?" (Watanabe's mother)

"Very good." (Aina)

"Often copying my homework" (Qingye)

“Eh?” (Aina)

"Where is this child? I need to educate him well!" (Watanabe's mother)

"Teacher Aona, I'm not in Tokyo, please. If he doesn't obey, you can beat him." (Watanabe's mother)

"Auntie Zhi, she can't do it, she is the one who speaks best, why not give the power to me" (Kiyano)

"My people, now it's your turn to take care of them?" (Meiji)

"It's still unclear who it belongs to" (Kiyano)

"Are you free tomorrow?" (Meiji)
