Chapter 87 The Prototype of Home
Matsueda Shinsako had heard before that the more reserved a lady appears on the surface, the more interested she is in taboos in private.

Traditional and dignified in front of people, but perverted and dissolute behind their backs.

In the past, she would scoff at such words.

Because those people also said that about her, but she is the same way behind others as she is in front of others.

She has always been chaste and never indulged in debauchery.

But now, Matsueda Masako's heart was shaken.

No, that's not right...

I'm not, I didn't, I just did it for the deer...

Besides, Qingxue is so busy that she has no time to take care of the family. As the mistress, what's wrong with me helping to take care of the family...

Thinking this way, Matsueda Shinsako quickly convinced herself.

I found the key I threw away last night, took out my clothes and changed into them. After looking at myself in the mirror for a long time, I seemed to have made up my mind. I took a deep breath, went out and went downstairs.

"Da da da~"

The rhythmic footsteps of high heels could be heard behind me.

Kiyoaki Matsueda turned his head and looked over.

Masako walked into the tea room with a cold expression.

The fabric of the dress was wrapped tightly, showing off her plump figure; the skirt swayed gently, making her legs wrapped in white silk stockings look straighter and more seductive, and her white silk feet were stepping on red-soled high heels.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding~"

The bell swayed as I walked, and the sound was clear and loud.

After entering the tea room, Matsueda Shinsako glanced at Matsueda Kiyoaki with a cold look that contained a hint of disgust. If he were a man with some perverted fetish, his bones would have gone soft at this moment.

Kiyoaki Matsueda looked at her, then looked at the sleeping deer.

It is not easy for people who have taken antipyretics to wake up. This is probably why Masako dared to come out wearing equipment.

Shinsako Matsueda knelt in front of the tea pot, boiled water and made a pot of tea, then knelt in front of Kiyoaki Matsueda holding the tea bowl.

"Tea, please."

The voice was still full of majesty, not like a request, but rather an order.

Kiyoaki Matsueda took the tea bowl, took a sip, and his eyes moved over her.

Matsueda Masako's long eyelashes trembled slightly like a mimosa, and there was a hint of disgust in the depths of her narrow phoenix eyes... like the disgust in Matsueda Luming's eyes when he called him a stinkbug.

Tsk!
They are indeed mother and daughter!

Isn't the disdain in the deer's eyes when he looks at him inherited from her?

To be honest, it's really frustrating.

However, Matsueda Kiyoaki knew that she was pretending, so he smiled unhappily and said to her, "Just tell me if you have anything to say. There's no need to put on such a show, especially in front of your sick daughter."

"..."

His expression was very sincere.

This also made Matsueda Shinsako stunned, and she felt a strong sense of shame in her heart.

Yes, she was judging others by herself and thought that he would only help her if she did this...but in fact, he was a very gentle person and was willing to help him without her begging him in such a vulgar way.

After thinking about this clearly, Matsueda Masako felt ashamed but also warm and touched.

It is the greatest fortune to have a man like him in this family.

"Then I'll just say it straight..."

"Go ahead."

Shinsako Matsueda moved her body and came to her daughter's side.

Looking down at her daughter's face which was unhealthily red due to fever, she reached out her hand and gently stroked her daughter's face, saying, "Xiaolu's mentality now is similar to that of my sister. Everything she does is aimed at catching up with her sister. Although she is better than my sister in every aspect, Qingxue is also better than me in every aspect, so Xiaolu has been working very hard..."

Kiyoaki Matsueda also turned his head and looked at the deer.

The beautiful girl was immersed in sleep, her black hair spread out on the pillow like spilled ink, her brows slightly furrowed.

Her delicate little lips were pressed into a straight line, and her slender white neck was as delicate and exquisite as a work of art, as if she was a princess in a fairy tale who had taken poison and entered a dormant state.

She is indeed a princess of ice and snow, her beauty like a solitary flower blooming on a snowy mountain.

"Mihoko changed her mindset and completely regarded me as her enemy because she had no hope of catching up with me. So, I must not let Xiaolu become like that..." Matsueda Shinsako said softly, her eyes were gentle as water, and she exuded a faint maternal glow, "Qing, for Xiaolu, I can be as embarrassed as possible, so I put on this dress again..."

"Yeah, I know." Kiyoaki Matsueda nodded.

If it were in the past, he would definitely take the opportunity to humiliate her, but after getting to know her so well, doing those things would be really perverted... Of course, if it was for fun, that would be an exception.

"Well, can you help the deer?" Matsueda Shinsako looked at him with wide eyes.

Her eyes were no longer condescending, but full of dependence and tenderness. She finally knew how to use the power of gentleness.

"We are still a family now, and this is just a small matter."

Songzhi Qingxian smiled faintly, and his smile contained a reassuring calmness.

"I feel at ease with you here." Matsueda Shinsako also laughed.

The cool autumn breeze blew, but she didn't feel cold, her body was still warm.

She looked at him, only concerned with expressing her happiness, as if she was soaking in a hot spring, immersed in the sweet mood.

She has had a very difficult time these years.

Enduring the cold stares of others and countless covetous and vulgar gazes, she raised her two daughters with great difficulty.

Now, her eldest daughter is able to take care of herself, her youngest daughter is better than she was back then, and there is a man she can rely on in the family... She can finally relax and slowly savor her happiness.

Somehow, her eyes seemed a little moist.

"What's wrong with you?" Kiyoaki Matsueda looked at her strangely.

She had just woken up from a nap, and there was still a trace of woman's fatigue in her eyes, which were a little moist and blurry.

If she were an ordinary woman, she would have opened her heart to him at this time, but Matsueda Shinsako was strong-willed after all, and she quickly hid her overflowing emotions and said calmly: "Nothing, I'm just a little sleepy."

"Then you sleep a little longer, I'll watch the deer." said Kiyoaki Matsueda.

"Hmm~"

Masako Matsueda was wearing sexy clothes and lying next to her little daughter.

As soon as she closed her eyes, the wave of emotions just now came back, repeatedly washing over her soul, making her feel as if her mind had been cleansed.

There were no more unpleasant negative emotions, and I fell asleep with a smile on my face.

I feel like she looks very childish.

Songzhi Qingxian propped up one arm and stared at her sleeping face. After a long time, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If this continues, I will treat them as real family..."

But to be honest, he didn't object.

On the contrary, I think it’s pretty good.

After all, he has no relatives in this world...

Slowly, Kiyoaki Matsueda also lay down on the tatami, smelling their fragrance, listening to the hustle and bustle of the city in the distance, feeling the force of the wind with his skin... It was an autumn afternoon in 2010, a quiet and ordinary afternoon, when he saw the prototype of his home for the first time.

In autumn, the days are short and it is dusk soon.

When Kiyoaki Matsueda opened his eyes, he found that Masako had gone to the kitchen to prepare lunch for the family.

The iron door at the entrance opened.

It’s Songzhi Qingxue who is back.

Kiyoaki Matsueda sat up and waved his hand casually.

When Matsueda Kiyoyuki saw him, a smile immediately appeared on his face. Thinking back on this scene later, it was like the feeling of a real husband welcoming his tired wife home.

"How is the fawn?" Songzhi Qingxue took off his shoes and walked onto the corridor barefoot.

"Very well, the fever has subsided a little."

"Thank you so much..."

"You're welcome." Matsueda Kiyoaki smiled.

Songzhi Qingxue came to his sister's side and just as he knelt down, his sister opened her eyes in a daze.

It's like we are in sync.

"elder sister……"

Sick throat, dry and hoarse, smiling weakly.

"Drink some water." Songzhi Qingxue picked up the mineral water bottle, opened the cap and put it to her sister's mouth.

Songzhi Luming took a small sip and the feeling in his throat was relieved and it didn't hurt as much anymore.

"Let me see how hot it is still..." Songeda Qingxue placed her palm on her sister's forehead.

Songzhi Luming, who was in a sick state, looked very weak. He lowered his head embarrassedly, and held his sister's hands with both hands.

"I'm fine, I'm fine..."

"It does look a little better..."

Songzhi Qingxue smiled, put his fingers into his sister's hair, scratched it hard to make it fluffy, then put his nose on his sister's forehead and called affectionately: "Little deer, little deer, get well soon, and be a lively little deer again..."

Even though she was sick, Matsueda Luming, as a cold and beautiful girl, found it difficult to accept this kind of interaction.

Unfortunately, due to her weak body, she couldn't resist her sister's abuse and could only grit her teeth and endure it.

After her sister let go of her hand, she shook her head with difficulty, put her fluffy and messy hair back to its original shape, and finally glanced at Songzhi Qingxian beside her, and said nothing.

Although she still appeared a little cold, from the subtle changes in her eyes, one could tell that she was no longer a cold and beautiful girl, but just an ordinary girl with a light and gentle body.

This pair of sisters really have a good relationship.

Even though the younger sister is usually very sharp-tongued towards everyone, when it comes to her older sister, it’s obvious that she doesn’t want to say no, but her body is so honest…

"You sleep a little longer, I have something to talk to Aqing about." Songzhi Qingxue ruffled her sister's hair and took advantage of her sickness to ravage her.

After satisfying his sister's desire, he let her go, turned around, sat down next to Kiyoaki Matsueda, and took out a harmonica from his pocket.

Here it comes, time to play the emotional card!
After several months of getting along, Kiyoaki Matsueda had almost figured out this woman's style of doing things, so he predicted in his mind what she would do next.

"Thank you for your hard work today."

"No hard work, no hard work..."

"Let me play a song for you..."

"no, I'm fine……"

"I've got the harmonica, just listen to it."

Seeing that Matsueda Kiyoaki always wanted to interrupt his spell, Matsueda Kiyoyuki felt like laughing and put the harmonica to his lips.

After a moment, the sound of piano began to play.

The tune is "Glory Bows to Me". When played with harmonica, it does not have that ambitious feeling. Instead, it makes people feel a touch of sadness and sorrow. Combined with the blood-red sunset outside and the cries of crows on the telephone poles, it makes people sad as they listen to it.

The evening glow falls on the snow-covered pine branches.

It was like golden powder falling down, and the black hair moved slightly, with a focused expression.

However, when Kiyoaki Matsueda looked over there, she would give him a gentle smile in between playing the harmonica.

What a strong woman!

Kiyoaki Matsueda had a new understanding of how dangerous she was.

Matsueda Kiyoyuki inherited a strong character from her mother, and naturally, she also cares about her family like her mother.

Whether outside or at home, she would speak up to defend Kiyoaki Matsueda and take his feelings into consideration.

From her point of view, she had given her fake husband enough respect and sincerity.

Although in Kiyoaki Matsueda's opinion, it doesn't matter whether this kind of care exists or not.

But having it would make him feel more comfortable.

And ever since that time when he wanted to move but failed and ended up staying, Songzhi Qingxue's feelings for him became closer.

My feeling before that was: there are only three years left, so let’s take it one step at a time.

Until now: Maybe I can maintain this relationship.

From the very beginning, she may not be able to pursue a pure marriage based on love alone, but after accepting the current situation, she also showed enough sincerity, and the message she conveyed to Kiyoaki Matsueda was very clear: if possible, let's live like this.

In her, Kiyoaki Matsueda indeed saw the seriousness and hard work of a 21-year-old woman who had not even graduated from college.

On the one hand, she has to run a business that is on the verge of bankruptcy, and on the other hand, she has to mediate and take care of the family relationship. Her sincerity and honesty are the reasons why Kiyoaki Matsueda is willing to stay in this family and decide to wait and see before making any plans.

After the song was over, Songzhi Qingxue looked at Songzhi Qingxian with a smile: "Is it nice?"

"That sounds good. Oh, I'll go help with dinner..." Kiyaki Matsueda stood up smartly.

Songzhi Qingxue rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "I went to the school and learned what happened. If you only send a song, you won't be able to help Xiaolu solve the current trouble."

"Oh..." Kiyoaki Matsueda nodded, then looked at the bed.

"Hmm?" The weak girl opened her eyes tiredly, "Why are you looking at me? I didn't say anything..."

The elder sister who was sitting side by side with Kiyoaki Matsueda turned around and looked at her younger sister.

"Xiaolu, you can definitely beat your sister. Do you know why?"

"why?"

My sister looked at the two people's silhouettes dimly.

The sunset outside dyed the whole world red.

It was simply a miraculous color, from the yard to the plants in the yard, from his sister and Songeda Qingxian in front of him, all were dyed with bright orange.

In such a shocking twilight, a faint smile appeared on my sister's lips.

"Because my sister only has mom to rely on, and besides mom, you also have your sister and brother-in-law to rely on, little fool..."
