There will be no club activities on the day of the tournament.

There were still two minutes left before school ended. Miki Kujo was killing time in the classroom when she received a call from her mother.

"Baby, come and stay with me tonight." Kujo's mother's voice was clear and brisk.

"Not going."

"You don't have work today, why don't you come and stay with your mother?" After a slight pause, Kujo's mother's meaningful voice continued, "Watanabe-kun wants to go to your place?"

Miki Kujo looked at Toru Watanabe with questioning eyes.

This is asking knowingly.

During the day, she told Toru Watanabe, "It's okay tonight," and asked him to go to her place.

This kind of thing cannot be exposed in person. Faced with Kujo Miki's eyes, Watanabe Toru nodded, indicating that he wanted to go.

He really wants to go.

Every day, every day, hug Mei Ji three times - this sentence comes from the heart.

"He said he wanted to go to my place." Kujo Miki said to the other end of the phone.

A teasing laughter came from the mobile phone: "Then let Mr. Watanabe come with us. I haven't seen him for a long time."

"He said he didn't want to see you." Kujo Miki answered without hesitation.

Watanabe Toru: "..."

"Really?"

"Really." Kujo Miki said with a smile.

"Then I have to see him and let him know how to respect his mother."

Watanabe Toru took the phone from Kujo Miki's hand.

"Aunt Kujo, don't listen to Miki's nonsense, I just want to visit you."

"Really?" Kujo's mother's voice was touching.

"Really." Watanabe Toru assured.

"That's good. I thought you had forgotten me. We will spend a happy Christmas together."

"I forgot Jesus, and I can't forget you on Christmas Day."

Kujo's mother smiled like a girl, and said with a smile:

"I don't believe it. Everything the boy said is false."

"It's absolutely true, how could I lie to you? I only say sweet words to Mei Ji, and I respect you from the bottom of my heart."

"Okay, Watanabe-kun, tell me, who is more beautiful between me and Miki?"

"What? Crepe? Do you want to eat crepe? Okay, I will bring it to you, that's it, see you later, bye~"

After hanging up the phone, Toru Watanabe returned the phone to Miki Kujo, while shaking his head as if he didn't want it to happen again and said:

"Can't stand your mother."

"You are quite good at fooling people." Miki Kujo sneered, "Do you usually fool me like this?"

"Once in a while, most of the time, tell the truth."

"Most of them?" Without holding her cell phone, Kujo Miki reached out and pinched Watanabe Toru's ears.

"Wait, not even once in a while? It hurts. I will never dare to do it again in the future!"

"Don't you dare? I think your words are also fooling me!"

"Mei Ji, you are so smart! Hiss——"

After school, the two went to the mansion where Kujo's mother lived.

As soon as she got off the car, Miki Kujo went directly to take a shower, while Toru Watanabe had to go to see Kujo's mother alone first.

Walking through the twists and turns of the wooden corridor, I saw Kujo's mother dressed as a flower farmer in the garden.

He changed his shoes, went down the cloister, and stepped onto the neat paths in the courtyard.

The courtyard is like a secret land of trees and flowers. When you are in it, you can't hear the noise of Tokyo, only the birds singing in the trees.

Of these trees and flowers, Toru Watanabe only knew hydrangeas, roses, gardenias, and lavender, which bloomed in sunny places and had a pleasant fragrance.

And these are just small corners of the courtyard.

The two servants who were following Kujo's mother bowed and saluted Toru Watanabe as he approached.

"Master Watanabe."

Watanabe Toru nodded to them and said nothing, just watching Kujo's mother planting saplings in the soil.

It's May, and it's still very bright at four o'clock in the afternoon.

What lingered in Watanabe's nose at that time was a refreshing smell, and he didn't know which flower it was.

After burying soil at the roots of the sapling, Kujo's mother stood up.

"Germany's crimson rose." She turned back and said to Toru Watanabe.

"When will it bloom?" Toru Watanabe looked at the sapling.

"I plan to have it bloom in the fall."

Watanabe Toru nodded.

Roses in late spring and early summer bloom of course in autumn. Kujo's mother's words are very interesting, and there is a desire to command everything in them.

Because of Miki Kujo, Toru Watanabe no longer hates women with this kind of personality.

"Watanabe-kun, do you know Qiangwei?" Kujo's mother stretched out her hand, and the servant took the tool in her hand.

"I don't know anything about flowers."

"The roses in autumn are more fragrant and graceful than the roses in spring."

"Really? Not only are there differences in varieties, but also in seasons?" Toru Watanabe asked curiously.

Without answering his question, Kujo's mother planted a patch of crimson roses, still full of energy.

"Do you like autumn roses or spring roses?" she said:

"I have never noticed roses in autumn. But if I have to say, I like the seasons, whether they are seasonal vegetables or seasonal flowers."

"Ying Ji, I remember that you and Xiao Lin have the same birthday?"

"Then I like flowers in August." Watanabe Toru changed his words.

It's May now, three months older than August.

Kujo's mother laughed: "It's June soon, and I just remembered your and Xiaolin's birthday. Why do you have to explain it so deliberately?"

"Did Meiji grow up here?" Toru Watanabe looked around and changed the subject.

"When I was little, this was the secret garden where she and Xiao Rin would hide and seek and play house." Kujo's mother started walking on the path, and Tetsu Watanabe followed her one step behind.

The two maids fell further away.

"Look at this pergola," Kujo's mother said.

Watanabe Toru looked over and saw that the wisteria flowers had withered and long bean strips were hanging from the trellis.

"There used to be a swing here. Mei Ji and Xiao Lin had a game of guessing to decide who would push the swing. Mei Ji was unlucky and didn't win once. When I passed by, she was crying while pushing the swing."

"Crying and pushing the swing?" Toru Watanabe was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing, "I really want to meet Miji at that time, she must be very cute."

"Of course my daughter is cute," Kujo's mother said.

"My girlfriend must be cute." Toru Watanabe agreed.

"Watanabe-kun," Kujo's mother turned around, "if I had been born twenty years later, I might have fallen in love with you."

"They are both sons-in-law of the Kujo family. It makes no difference to me. Please continue to tell me about Miki's childhood. I want to know more."

"Do you see this patch of alfalfa?"

It was simply a small hillside, covered with green grass and lavender flowers blooming on the grass.

"Alfalfa? I thought it was pea sprouts."

"It looks a bit similar," Kujo's mother said with a smile, "Miki and Xiao Rin often run wild here. Xiao Rin is weak and is always thrown away by Miki."

"You got it from pushing on the swing?" Toru Watanabe said with a smile.

"Hahaha." Kujo's mother couldn't help laughing, "Watanabe-kun, you are very good at coaxing girls, no wonder Miki loves you so much."

"We love each other deeply. Qingye Rin is always left behind, what happens next?"

"I couldn't catch up, so I had to cry. The two had a big quarrel. Before leaving, Xiao Lin lost his temper and said he would never come again. As a result, the two stayed together to catch butterflies the next day."

"Is it all with Rin Kiyono?" Toru Watanabe asked.

Hearing this question, the smile on Kujo's mother's face faded.
