I.W.B.A.L

　　Qingpu Shuna did not choose to give up and continued to ask.

　　"A girl you like?"

　　When mentioning the person he likes, Sayuri's figure involuntarily emerged in Kento's mind, but he silently dismissed it in his mind. He looked at the girl in front of him with a slightly helpless look in his eyes.

　　"have no idea."

　　Noticing the slight change in Kento's eyes, Qingpu Setsuna gradually stood up from his sitting position, walked to Kento's side, and looked down at him.

　　"That... Setsuna?"

　　Facing the girl who came to his side, Kento couldn't help but be stunned, looking at her, wondering what was going on.

　　She looked down at the boy sitting in front of her. Even though he was standing, she found that his height had reached her belly. She pursed her lips and leaned forward with her head lowered.

　　The fragrant hair fell beside the side of the face, and when the face was close to her, and the trembling brows were reflected in her eyes.

　　Warm touch.

　　I haven't felt this way for a long time, since then...

　　But unlike Sayuri's maturity and lively spirit, the girl at this moment seemed a little clumsy and immature. After being tightly pressed together, she didn't know what to do next. Her rosy and hot face seemed to be so embarrassed that water could drip out...

　　Kento blinked his eyes and just reacted, feeling the warm breath and the unique fragrance of the girl. His young body and brain were briefly dazed.

　　His body instinctively wanted him to use his own hands to carry the girl in front of him to his bed, throw away all the restraints, and do what he wanted to do and was happy to do...

　　But more importantly, his reason and mature thinking told him that this was not appropriate.

　　So he made his own choice.

　　He raised his left arm and tapped the girl's brow with his index finger. He stepped back slightly, putting some distance between himself and the girl.

　　The girl opened her eyes with trembling eyelashes, and looked at the face so close with rosy cheeks. Nothing else happened, which made her a little disappointed, but she still looked at Kento in front of her with hope in her eyes. Her voice was trembling and gentle, plucking Kento's heartstrings -

　　"Will this change your mind?"

　　The scene that had appeared in his dreams countless times when he was a teenager now appeared before him, and Kento felt a little complicated.

　　If I had met the girl in front of me at the beginning, would the dream-like ending have been better?

　　Faced with the innocent girl's sincere question, Kento was silent for a moment, withdrew his left hand and shook his head.

　　"I only accept relationships with the purpose of marriage. If your family can accept my existence and support your relationship, then I don't mind trying to walk the journey of marriage with you. But if it's just a spice of youth... I don't mean to hurt your feelings, but if your family can't accept your relationship and even chooses to oppose it... then I hope you can focus more on your studies."

　　Qingpu Setsuna, who was about to be disappointed after seeing Kento shaking his head, had a look of deep confusion and puzzlement in his eyes after hearing Kento's words, but he seemed to understand something.

　　"So, Kento, it's not that you don't care about me. As long as my family supports it, we can date?"

　　"...if your family doesn't mind."

　　I have not met the girl in front of me many times, and I don't have any feelings for her, but the so-called feelings have gradually developed through spending time together day and night.

　　I don't want to repeat the same mistakes, nor do I want to hurt anyone. I feel that the girl in front of me may be an opportunity for me to change my life. If her family doesn't mind, perhaps I can try to walk a part of life's journey with her.

　　Chirp——

　　Kento who was thinking was attacked inadvertently. The girl had a bright smile on her face as she looked at the dazed wise man.

　　"I understand. I will tell my family that I have someone I like, so wait for me."

　　The girl walked briskly towards the door of the apartment, leaving Kento sitting in the room. She reached out her hand and touched her face, with a complicated expression...

Cherry Blossom Season: 16. Mom will carefully identify the other person for you

　　"I've already said it, I don't want to hear your voice anymore. If you harass me again, I'm going to call the police!"

　　After hanging up the phone, Qingpu Wu no longer had any good feelings towards the man. Looking at the new unfamiliar contact number, Qingpu Wu added it to the blacklist without any hesitation. This was not the first time the other party had contacted her with a new number.

　　She said that it was for the sake of the child, asking her to rethink his position as a father and give Setsuna a more complete home.

　　Sitting in the company office, Qingura Setsuna looked at his contact list, found a friend who had the same experience as him, and contacted him.

　　"Yoko? It's me, Wu."

　　"Has that man contacted you too? Has he contacted you yet?"

　　A feeling of annoyance unconsciously welled up from the bottom of her heart, but she was also deeply helpless. She had already known the man's nature and knew that he would be like this, so why should she make unnecessary confirmation?

　　"Yes, he contacted me too. Be careful with that man. Don't let him deceive you again!"

　　After a conversation with her best friend, she understood the other party's determination. As a similar ally of single mothers, Qingpu Mai hung up the phone, put away her mobile phone, sighed, glanced at the clock on the table, packed up and left the office, ready to go home...

　　When she was young, she worked in the restaurant of Saionji Oko, who was the same age as her. Although they were about the same age, in terms of relationship, Kiyoura Mai was Saionji Oko's niece. It was because of this relationship that she worked part-time in Saionji Oko's restaurant.

　　It was in that restaurant that she met Ken Shun, the man she thought she would be with for the rest of her life, but she discovered that he was secretly involved with Saionji Yuko besides her.

　　Born in the Zeyue family, Qingpu Mai hated her mother and the family deeply. After learning that the other party had cheated on her, she decisively cut off contact with Jian Shun, especially when she later learned that the other party was still her blood relative...

　　Fortunately, the one who caused all this, her grandfather and biological father, Ze Yuezhi, who was a complete scumbag, had run away due to debt ten years ago. His body was found in the sea. Even though he was swollen, her mother and grandmother were able to recognize him.

　　Thinking back to family matters, Qingura Mai's mood couldn't help but become bad, and she returned to the apartment in a depressed mood.

　　"Setsuna, I'm back."

　　"Welcome back."

　　When she entered the house, she felt that the atmosphere in the house seemed a little different from usual. Qingura Mai entered the room and saw Shanshan sitting in the living room.

　　"moment?"

　　"Mom, I have something to tell you."

　　Looking at her daughter, Qingura Mai, who was originally in a bad mood, regained some spirit. She walked into the living room, put her backpack on the cabinet beside her, sat down on the sofa, and looked at her daughter.

　　"What is it?"

　　"I have someone I like."

　　"...."

　　If it were a normal day for Kiyoura Mai, she would not care too much about the love affair of her daughter who is about to enter high school. Instead, she would encourage her daughter to have a normal relationship.

　　But something happened today that made Qingpu Mai a little sensitive about this matter.

　　"What kind of person is that?"

　　Qingura Setsuna, who had clearly made up his mind to explain the matter to his mother, looked at his mother sitting next to him, opened his mouth and was silent for a moment, then slowly lowered his head, pursed his lips, and clenched his fists slightly on his knees. Under the gaze of Qingura Mai, he didn't know how to start the conversation.

　　"Could it be...the boy who just moved in?"

　　"...."

　　Looking up and looking at his mother, Qingpu Setsuna was a little surprised. He didn't know how his mother guessed the other person's identity, but then nodded slightly.

　　"Miyazu...Kento, I like Kento."

　　Looking at her daughter, whose face was blushing and who was completely in love, Qingura Mai remembered that she had only moved in two days, or was it three days?

　　Her own daughter just asked her to give her a housewarming gift last time, and she fell for her right away? !

　　"Well, you've only met once, right?"

　　"No, this is the second time today."

　　"...Setsuna, are you sure you like him?"

　　Qingpu Mai looked at her daughter helplessly, somewhat worried whether her daughter understood what love meant.

　　"like."

　　Qingura Setsuna was being stared at by her mother. Facing her mother's gaze, she felt that perhaps she needed to give a little more reasons so that her mother would be convinced.

　　"Today, I confessed to him... and kissed him."

　　silence.

　　Facing her daughter, who was usually silent, rarely showed any expression, and didn't easily show her emotions, but now had rosy cheeks and was full of tenderness and girlishness, she felt complicated...

　　Qingpu Mai slightly turned sideways, looked at her daughter beside her, and began to confirm her daughter's condition.

　　Judging from her daughter's sitting posture, Qingpu Mai was slightly relieved to confirm that nothing special had happened. She helplessly reached out to cover her forehead, feeling a headache.

　　She chose to confess her love to a boy whom she had only met twice. She didn't know what to say to her daughter.

　　"Then why did you tell me this? It's just that when you like to confess your love, you should tell it to your friends, people of the same age like Sekai, right?"

　　silence.

　　This time, it was Setsuna's turn to remain silent.

　　It's not that she doesn't want to tell the world, but thinking of the world's sneak attack last time, Shanna feels that she needs to hide her progress on Kento from her until she and Kento have confirmed their relationship. And the most important step to confirm the relationship is now!

　　"At first Kento refused. He had no intention of falling in love and was not planning to fall in love before graduating from university."

　　Qingpu Mai was a little surprised. Thinking of the handsome face she saw at that quick glimpse, she knew that among high school girls who already had a basic understanding of love and physiology, he would definitely be a hot commodity. How could he not fall in love?

　　This is undoubtedly a perfunctory and rejection of one's own daughter, right?

　　Looking at her daughter beside her, whether from the perspective of a mother or a passerby, she can be called cute, except for her height... Perhaps it is because of their close relationship, even though she is already in high school, she is always shorter than her peers and looks like a child.

　　"But later, after I kissed him, he changed his mind."

　　"Agreed?"

　　Qingura Mai was a little surprised and disappointed at the same time. If he changed his attitude like this, he would be a completely unreliable boy.

　　"He made a request."

　　He shook his head gently, looked at his mother beside him, and spoke slowly.

　　"He only accepts relationships with the purpose of marriage."

　　"...."

　　Now Qingura Mai was completely stunned. She stared blankly at her daughter in front of her. She was silent for a moment, turned to look in the direction of the apartment where Kento was, and then looked back at her daughter.

　　"What did he say?"

　　"Kento said that as long as my parents agreed with me dating him, then he wouldn't mind dating me, but if my parents minded and tried to stop me, he would let me give up the relationship and focus on my studies."

　　It sounded good, but it always felt like she was simply rejecting her own daughter. Qingura Mai gradually stood up and looked at her daughter who was sitting beside her.

　　"You prepare dinner tonight, and I'll go see what kind of person he is. If he's a nice guy, then... Mom will consider agreeing to your relationship. But if he's someone like that guy... Even if I like him, it won't work!"

　　Qingpu Mai looked at her daughter. Last time she asked her daughter to deliver the housewarming gift it was just a spur of the moment decision. She never expected that her daughter would fall so easily.

　　Therefore, this time she wanted to personally test the other party's background and depth to see where the other party came from!

Cherry Blossom Season: 17. What does he mean? Is he interested in me?

　　I opened the food box and saw that the Jinping burdock inside seemed a little different from the last time I saw it.

　　Both the color and the aroma were subtly different from the Jinping burdock that was accidentally spilled on the ground last time. Thinking back to the burdock from last time, he looked at the burdock in the food box in front of him.

　　Because I have never tasted it, it is difficult to tell the specific difference. Maybe it is just his psychological illusion?

　　Not long after Qingura Setsuna left, Kento, who was left alone, did not worry too much about the girl's emotional issues and just prepared his dinner as if nothing had happened.

　　With the Konpira burdock brought by the girl, he did not prepare any other vegetable dishes. He cooked a pork miso soup and a Japanese-style hamburger patty, then sat quietly at the low table and began to prepare for the meal.

　　"I'll start--"

　　Ding Dong——

　　When he was holding chopsticks in both hands and preparing to eat, thinking about tasting the delicious food and soothing his hungry stomach, the doorbell suddenly rang. Kento couldn't help but stop his meal, listen to the sound of his hungry stomach, and look towards the door.

　　He hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should pretend not to be at home.

　　have no choice.

　　He stood up with a sigh and placed his chopsticks on the bowl. He slowly walked to the door and looked through the peephole. The person standing outside the door was a woman he had never seen before, but in terms of appearance, she seemed somewhat similar to Kiyoura Setsuna who had left not long ago?
