"Wow, it's great here!" said the little girl who looked like a junior high school student.

"Lihua, my mother chose this specially for you." The father-like person among the four said with a smile.

"Thank you, dad, thank you, mom!" the little girl's voice was as cheerful as a lark.

"If you don't understand something at school, you can ask your sister." Mother said.

"Yes!" the little girl smiled and said to Asuka Mai, "Sister Mai, please!"

Asuka Mai nodded slightly.

The waiter led the four of them to sit at the seats reserved in advance, not far nor close to Toru Watanabe and the others.

"Speaking of which," Kiyono Rin looked away from Asuka Mai and looked at Watanabe Toru in front of her, "You haven't told me about your relationship with Asuka Mai-senpai."

"..."

"Don't want to talk to me?"

"No." Toru Watanabe said, "Didn't I tell you when we were camping in the winter: As long as you want to know something, I will tell you."

"Are you reminding me of what I said myself? 'I will never ask you anything you don't want to say'?"

"Whether I want to say it or not depends on whether you want to know."

Qingye Rin cut the beef with a knife: "Tell me."

"Can you guess first?"

"Lover?" Rin Kiyono put the beef into his mouth and raised his eyes to glance at Toru Watanabe.

"..."

too fast.

"Yes." Toru Watanabe nodded.

Rin Kiyono is just his friend, there's nothing to feel guilty about...right?

Kiyono Rin chewed regularly and continued to cut the beef with the knife.

After three seconds of silence, Toru Watanabe couldn't help but say: "Don't you have anything to ask?"

"It's Kujo Miki who should have a headache, not me." Kiyono Rin continued to eat beef.

It really has nothing to do with her, but...

"Can I tell you what happened between me and Mai-senpai?"

"You don't have to report everything to me, there's no need."

"Are you angry?" Toru Watanabe was actually happier than before.

"I'm never angry, I just get into trouble occasionally." Qingye Rin took a sip of water, "You don't have to pay attention to me."

"Qingye, give me some time and let me explain."

"I'll leave after I finish eating." Qingye Rin continued to eat the remaining half of the steak.

"The matter between Senior Mai and I starts with the dispute over the four northern islands..."

Toru Watanabe told Rin Kiyono everything about the incident - of course the night's events.

By the time he finished speaking, the steak had already been finished.

Rin Kiyono wiped his lips gently with a towel and confirmed in a calm voice:

"You got to that point and refused so many times, but she still doesn't want to give up?"

"If it weren't for this, I would never betray my family K-san. In order to stick to my principles, I would just...well, be friends with you."

Kiyono Rin thought of what Toru Watanabe said when they were lying on the high-grade snow slope during winter camping.

"If there is a next life, let us meet as soon as possible."

There is really no reason for someone who rejects a beautiful girl like himself to find someone else.

Toru Watanabe is a gentle person, she has known it since the Shinagawa Aquarium.

He pinches his neck, deliberately says that he is afraid of Kujo Miki, is greedy for money, and sacrifices his own reputation to save others. Toru Watanabe is such a person.

But what Asuka Mai did also surprised her.

She knew clearly that the other party wanted to "kill" her, but not only did she not resist, she also reminded him to use succinyl and not to leave traces. Such an incredible thing actually happened to her.

Speaking of incredible, isn't she herself even more incredible...

"Then what are you going to do now?" she asked.

"Since we have decided to be together, we cannot let her down."

"What about Kujo Miki?"

Watanabe Toru took a deep breath and sighed slowly.

"There will always be a way. Anyway, I won't let any of them leave me."

"It means that if you are not discovered, you plan to keep it secret from Kujo?"

Watanabe Toru was a little embarrassed.

As expected of Qingye God, who can see through lies and can always capture people's deepest thoughts.

"Yes." Toru Watanabe could only nod.

"Can you say this?"

"Good or bad, I don't want to hide it from you."

The corners of Qingye Rin's mouth curved in a smile.

But trying to see smiles from above is like seeking moisture from the yellow sand on the surface of the desert.

"So..." Watanabe Tetsu looked directly at Kiyono Rin, "What are your thoughts now?"

"What can I have in mind?" Qingye Rin put away his unsmiling smile.

Her expression returned to calm.

After a long time, she asked:

"If one day you find that you like me more than Kujo Miki, and beg me on your knees to date me, and I let you cut off contact with them, will you be willing?"

Kneel down and ask for a relationship...

Watanabe Toru knew what she meant, but the way of making trouble was really special.

"There will never be a day when we will always be the closest friends." Toru Watanabe said.

After speaking, he explained: "After the incident involving Mai-senpai, I decided not to smile at other girls or associate with other girls."

"That's very nice." Qingye Rin nodded, "Then can you promise that you will never kneel down and beg me to date you?"

"I'm determined to do it, but I can't guarantee one."

"Since it's not guaranteed, it's possible." Qingye Rin said, "When that day comes, what are you going to do?"

She raised her index finger on her right hand and her index and middle fingers on her left hand: "Which side should you choose?"

"By the way," Qingye Rin spoke again, "Do you have anyone else? Let's tell them together."

"No more! No more! I'm a good person!"

"Good guy?" Qingye Rin sneered, "Choose."

Toru Watanabe felt that her calm tone was very scary, but he also had a faint feeling of being pampered. What was going on with this feeling?

"It's difficult?" Seeing that he remained silent, Qingye Rin asked.

"It's difficult." Toru Watanabe nodded.

"Then let me analyze it for you." She looked at her right hand with only the index finger raised. "On Yuan's side, you have to give up two people, as well as a fourth or fifth person who may appear in the future."

"Choose this side," she turned to look to her left hand, "Two, no, with Kujo Miki's intelligence and ability, sooner or later she will be discovered, and then based on her jealousy and possessiveness... what will happen to Mai tomorrow, you

Knows better than me."

She took back her hands, took a sip of lemonade, and looked towards Asuka Mai.

As Toru Watanabe said, in that reorganized family, there was a wall between her and the other three people.

It's because of her parents, but also because of Asuka Mai's cold personality.

Tomorrow Mai looked over and the two looked at each other.

"Will you tell Miki about me and Mai-senpai?" Toru Watanabe asked.

"This matter is not my business, and I have no interest in spreading other people's private affairs. However," Qingye Rin withdrew his gaze, "I have nothing to do with her, and I am not as gentle as you. What will happen to her in the future if she is treated by Kujo Miki?"

No one will interfere."

"I will protect her." Toru Watanabe said.

"You mean, choose them?"
