Su Qing himself didn't know why such a thought came to his mind so quickly.
"As far as I know, there shouldn't be any. Her classmates and teachers all like her very much."
Su Qing shook his head and said.
"Really? That's good..."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yuihama's expression visibly relaxed.
Because of nervousness, a few beads of sweat slowly trickled down his forehead.
"Phew—look how careless I am, I must be thirsty after talking for so long."
"I'm so sorry, may I have some tea instead?"
"It doesn't need to be that complicated..."
Su Qing wanted to refuse, but Mrs. Yuihama seemed to be only asking for his opinion symbolically.
No matter what he said, the other person's hands wouldn't stop moving, so Su Qing simply stopped wasting his breath.
"Yui, that child, has been very cute and sensible since she was little."
When she was still in kindergarten, she would wait for her husband to come home from get off work at the door beforehand, and then call out, "Daddy, you're home!"
I remember the child's father was so moved that he cried on the spot, saying things like, "For Yui, I'd be willing to work myself to death."
While making tea for Su Qing, Mrs. Yui suddenly started talking incessantly about Yui's past.
[So the whole family are idiots...]
[So Yui's "silliness" is actually hereditary?]
Thinking back to the other party's behavior in Yui's room just now, Su Qing couldn't help but think like this.
"When she was in elementary school, she already knew how to help me with some housework."
Look, I still have a photo here of her, showing her mopping the floor spotless while she herself got completely filthy.
As Mrs. Yuihama spoke, she opened the "My Beloved Daughter" photo album on her phone and quickly found the photo she was referring to.
There is only one little girl in the photo—it's Yui when she was a child, which is easy to identify.
She still had that cute bun hairstyle, showing off her two adorable little tiger teeth to the camera, and smiling happily.
The once perfectly fine white clothes are now stained over 90% of their surface.
It looked dirty.
Ok……
Mopping the floor and ending up like this, that's so Yui-like.
"Isn't it cute?" Mrs. Yuihama asked gently, her eyes soft as she lightly stroked the screen.
It was as if this would wipe away the stains on her daughter's clothes.
—I had already washed her back then.
"Why can't such a lovely and good child find true friends since childhood?"
Mrs. Yui turned her gaze toward Yui's room, her tone still gentle, yet tinged with a hint of sadness.
"When playing house with other children of the same age, they can all play the roles they want, but do you know what role she plays?"
It's a puppy! ..."
At this point, Mrs. Yuihama gave a wry smile.
“When she was in junior and senior high school, she would often share interesting stories about her school life with us, but she would never mention anything about her relationship with her friends.”
Mingming... often goes out with friends.
So I'm really worried that this child won't be the same as before after going to college.
But since the start of this semester... it seems everything has changed.
Turning her gaze away, Mrs. Yuihama looked at Su Qing with a meaningful expression.
"Yes, she has made friends she can trust, people who would even stand up for her."
Su Qing was referring to Yukino.
"Oh my? Is that so?" Mrs. Yuihama exclaimed in surprise.
"Actually, it was after school this afternoon."
"I see... I won't pry into the specifics. But I'd like to know, does the 'trustworthy friend' you're referring to include yourself?"
Mrs. Yui blinked, her tone expectant.
"...If I had been there when she was playing house, I definitely wouldn't have let her play a role she didn't want to play."
Surprisingly, Su Qing did not give a simple "yes" or "no" answer.
"That's quite a cunning answer... The past is best left untouched, don't you think?"
Mrs. Yuihama shook her head slightly; she seemed not very satisfied with the answer.
"..."
After a long, inexplicable silence, Su Qing slowly spoke, as if making a promise, a promise to herself:
“If I were here, I wouldn’t let her be ‘bullied’ like before.”
"Pfft, you kid, I was just joking, why are you suddenly taking it so seriously?"
Oh dear... but you looked surprisingly dashing when you made that promise. If I didn't already have a husband, maybe...
Mrs. Yuihama chuckled, her tone teasing.
However, he was secretly observing Su Qing's reaction.
Ok……
No reaction.
very good!
No wonder he's the boy my precious daughter likes!
I can relax a little now~
Mrs. Yuihama smiled brightly, then glanced at her phone and feigned surprise:
"Speaking of my husband, he'll be getting off work soon, and I need to go pick him up... We've been chatting for about fifteen minutes, so I'll have to excuse myself now."
After saying that, Mrs. Yuihama got up to leave, and out of politeness, Su Qing followed her to the entrance.
As she was putting on her shoes, Mrs. Yuihama suddenly turned around and gave Su Qing a playful smile:
"Arno... even though there are only the three of you at home, you can't go too far~"
My husband and I would allow just a hug or something...we should allow it."
……
Su Qing patiently nodded repeatedly, ignoring what the other person was saying.
After finally seeing her off, just as Su Qing turned around, the door was suddenly opened again.
As expected, it was Mrs. Yuihama again.
"Oh, I forgot to mention the important thing. You're welcome to visit us more often; I think your husband will really like you... I think!"
After explaining all this, the door was closed again.
Su Qing waited for three minutes and the door didn't open again before she turned around with peace of mind.
But on his way back to his room, he suddenly fell into deep thought:
and so.
Why did the other party emphasize "should" twice?
……

inside the room.
The atmosphere was slightly enchanting.
"I...I won't laugh at you anymore, please stop, stop tickling me there..."
The girl suppressed her embarrassment and laughter, speaking almost pleadingly.
Meanwhile, the bed quietly became damp.
—Those were tears of laughter from Yukino.
now.
She lay helplessly on Yui's bed, as if drained of all her energy, panting heavily, her voice trembling.
"really?"
Yui asked suspiciously.
But the movement of his hands also stopped.
"Really, really."
Yukino finally had a chance to catch her breath, and then sat half-upright on the bed, looking at Yui with a resentful gaze.
The latter felt a little embarrassed by the stares and could only awkwardly touch the little dumpling.
What could the dumpling have done wrong?
She just didn't want Yukino to continue being depressed.
Especially the somber tone she displayed when she mentioned her family.
But this is not an escape.
Through her interactions with Su Qing and Yukino, Yui gradually learns that running away from problems won't solve anything.
So this is at best a state adjustment.
Ok……
Good idea.
However, when Yui saw Yukino looking like she had just finished "exercising," her idea collapsed.
As she watched, Yui couldn't help but feel guilty.
His gaze gradually became unfocused.
Especially when she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Yukino's vengeful, reproachful look, she felt a chill run down her spine.
No no no.
We can't let Xiaoxue become such a bad child!
So we must avoid this kind of thing from happening!
"Hahaha...that's good. Speaking of which, it seems Xiaoqing talked with her mother for quite a while. I've decided to go and bring Xiaoqing back first! Xiaoxue, you rest well on my bed, even if you mess things up..."
Yui glanced at Yukino, and Yukino followed her gaze to the bed sheet.
Because of their playful fighting, the bed was now a complete mess.
then.
The two fell into a brief silence at the same time.
Until quite some time later.
Yui gave an awkward laugh and then said:
"It's already messy enough, so it's fine..."
But when she met Yukino's calm smile, her voice gradually became softer.
