Facing Rin Kiyono's eyes that shone like obsidian, Toru Watanabe's mouth opened and closed like a goldfish.

He never said this to Asuka Mai, but because of Asuka Mai, he said this to Koizumi Aona.

The time was during the summer vacation last year, when the music club had a sleepover.

Tomorrow, Mai wanted to go to him in the middle of the night with the adult discs she bought. With no other choice, he had no choice but to suggest that he go there by himself, but was caught on the spot by Koizumi Aina, who woke up in the middle of the night.

Why did you say you were dating Kiyono Rin at that time?

By the way, it was Koizumi Aona who said that he had a relationship with Kiyono Rin, and he said so in the right way.

Rin Kiyono stared at Toru Watanabe's profile, who was deep in thought, and sighed softly, helpless.

"If you want me to forgive you, at least apologize to me first." she said.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Watanabe Toru came back to his senses and replied subconsciously.

I apologized perfunctorily, and I don’t know whether it was because my ears were distracted just now, or because she was my lover.

Qingye Rin rolled her eyes at him and stopped caring about the matter.

She turned her gaze to Asuka Mai.

This official lover of Toru Watanabe was looking at Toru Watanabe affectionately, as if he was the only one in the world, and he didn't care at all about the conflict just now.

"Senior Tomorrow," Qingye Rin said, "I won't be polite for dinner."

After saying that, she squinted at Toru Watanabe coldly: "This time, I will treat you to my senior sister tomorrow, so please remember it well."

"My treat is Toru's treat." Asuka Mai said coldly but firmly.

"Yes." Qingye Rin was noncommittal.

She bent down slightly, her long hair fell from her shoulders, raised her feet, put her fingers into the insteps, took off her flat shoes, and put on the slippers that Toru Watanabe brought her.

After changing her shoes, she walked in first as if it were her own apartment.

Watanabe Toru took the shopping bag from Asuka Mai's hand:

"Let's go in too."

Entering the living room, Toru Watanabe first poured a glass of water for Rin Qingye, then brought her his diary and let her read it there.

He and Asuka Mai went to the kitchen to wash vegetables and make hot pot soup.

There was bright light outside the window, and birds were jumping among the green leaves of the street trees. It was still early.

They also wash the vegetables slowly, one by one, cut them bit by bit, and then put them on the plate in the most beautiful way.

Rin Kiyono was sitting in the living room, with a glass of water on the table in front of him and Toru Watanabe's diary on his lap.

She looked around and her eyes stayed on the cheap TV set for two seconds.

This should have been bought for him by his parents, while thinking this, she began to read the diary.

Open the cover and see the first sentence written on the title page:

"No matter when or where you are, be careful R-san"

Even though he had known it for a long time, looking at Watanabe Teru's neat handwriting, Kiyono Rin still laughed.

What to be careful about?

Are you worried about losing your vigilance, falling in love with her so much that you can't help but give up everything you have now?

She was in a happy mood and suddenly didn't want to look down.

She closed the note and walked to the kitchen.

"I'm here to help," she said.

"Don't read it?" Toru Watanabe turned around and asked her.

"Go back and take a look." As she said that, Qingye Rin elegantly rolled up the sleeves of her school uniform, revealing her smooth and delicate wrists.

Looking at the dazzlingly beautiful arms, Toru Watanabe suddenly remembered something.

"The rose is still in the mailbox downstairs. I'll go get it and leave it to you here." He shook off the water on his hand.

Qingye Rin frowned slightly and looked at his actions with disgust.

"Don't get water on the kitchen floor," she scolded.

"I'm sorry." Toru Watanabe took a piece of kitchen paper to wipe his hands.

"Get out of the way." Qingye Rin said again.

"Yes Yes Yes."

The two exchanged places, and Rin Kiyono walked over to Asuka Mai and started handling the ingredients with her.

'Whose kitchen is this? Show me the house number, so-and-so Rin!'

Kiyono suddenly turned around and looked at Toru Watanabe with cold eyes.

"What are you still doing here, Toru-san?" So-and-so Rin issued an expulsion order.

Just a coincidence? Or does this guy really know how to read minds?

There can't be two people who are so connected to each other, right? They're not twins.

Wait, they were born on the same day, are they really twins? He is the missing eldest son of the Qingye family?

This seems good, as Qingye Rin can naturally stay by his side for the rest of his life.

But in this case, should I change my surname when I marry Kujo Miki?

When he went downstairs again to pick up the rose that had been lying in the mailbox all day, Toru Watanabe kept thinking about these things that hurt his parents in the countryside.

◇

Qingye Rin used her white fingers to break off fresh cabbage leaves.

Tomorrow Mai was by her side, defraying shrimps in the pool. Her delicate side face was expressionless, but she could feel her faint joy.

"What do you plan to do in the future?" Qingye Rin suddenly asked.

Tomorrow Mai raised her head and looked at her doubtfully with her clear eyes.

"...with Tohru."

"Have you always been this lover?"

"...want to compete with Kujo?" Asuka Mai asked calmly.

After hearing this, Rin Kiyono remembered that she had not clarified that she was not Toru Watanabe's lover.

Just now she was just looking at Toru Watanabe and forgot about this matter. She never cared about other people, and it didn't matter what they thought of her.

"Yes, I have to compete with her." She put the chopped cabbage and the basket by the sink, waiting for Mai to wash it tomorrow.

Asuka Mai nodded slightly and continued to handle the shrimp.

"Do you know about Mr. Koizumi?" Qingye Rin picked up the mushrooms and carved a beautiful cross flower knife on them.

".....Know."

"Not jealous?"

"...It's good to be with Tohru."

"Why aren't you jealous when the person you like is with other girls?" Qingye Rin stopped the knife and looked at her.

Asuka Mai turned on the faucet, and the water rushed down, rinsing the cleaned shrimps.

In the sound of water, Qingye Rin heard her answer:

"I can't have emotions without Tohru around me."

"If one day Kujo asks Watanabe to leave you, and he really leaves you, what will you do?"

"Without Tohru, my life is like taking anesthesia. I can't feel anything when I walk. It can end at any time."

Rin Kiyono looked at Asuka Mai's side face, her expression was still dull and without any emotion.

But she is very honest and everything she says is true.

Kiyono Rin suddenly regretted asking Asuka Mai these questions on this Saturday afternoon.

Kujo Miki doesn't care about Asuka Mai and Koizumi Aona losing Toru Watanabe, but what about her?

Since I am so cute, my chance of winning is higher than Kujo Miki. When the time comes, will I consider Kujo Miki, Asuka Mai, Koizumi Aona and others?

It is absolutely impossible to let Toru Watanabe interact with them, but can we let Asuka Mai end her life?

The sound of rushing water suddenly disappeared, and the kitchen was so quiet that it was unbearable.

Rin Kiyono came back to his senses and found Asuka Mai's hand on the faucet, and the shrimp in the sink had been washed.

"Toru will never leave me." After Asuka Mai finished speaking, she turned on the faucet again and started washing the cabbage.

Along with the sound of water, Rin Kiyono realized that the responsibility shouldered by Toru Watanabe was far heavier than she imagined.
