Mygo! My sister has been a vegetarian for a long time and has a huge treasure chest

Then, having nothing else to do, Qinghe went home.

Xiangzi didn't agree to Su Shi's request as Qinghe had expected. He would need to figure out how to explain it to Su Shi later...

……

"I'm back……"

"Wow, is dinner this lavish tonight?"

If everything goes smoothly for Xiangzi, he will agree to go back to CRYCHIC with Su Shi.

When Qinghe returns from the office, he might stop by Chuhua's house for some fun.

However, because Xiangzi did not keep the agreement they had made, Qinghe was not in the mood to go find Chuhua.

Besides, Chuhua has work tomorrow, so I decided not to bother her.

But if you really want to find out what's going on with Xiangzi, you'll have to go see her in person.

If I don't have work tomorrow, I'm thinking of going to ambush people there...

If Su Shi fails to find Xiang Zi now, Qing He, who was specifically assigned to Su Shi without interfering, will lose its hidden significance.

Since Su Shi was unaware of the agreement, Qinghe had to go to Xiangzi to inquire.

Although things will definitely become more complicated after Qinghe appears, it will be very difficult to move forward if Qinghe doesn't take action.

I wonder if Qinghe, now that she's taken away Mutou and Miaomeng, whom Xiangzi had originally planned to have, will still be able to form another band...

By the way, Chu Hua will soon be a resident of Qinghe too...

It's unlikely that Xiangzi can revive the original Avemujica, but given his abilities, he might actually be able to create another band...

Teacher Da Xiang is really quite troublesome...

Forget it, now that things have come to this, let’s eat first.

Fortunately, after hearing that I had returned, Su Shi didn't seem to intend to settle scores with me...

The issue of Xiangzi should be put on hold for now, right?

I don't know what's wrong with Su Shi. After being rejected by Xiangzi, is she planning to turn her grief and anger into appetite?

Although Su Shi hasn't finished cooking dinner yet, the ingredients look amazing...

"This isn't for you. Mom's coming home for dinner tonight."

Seeing Qinghe's eyes light up as he prepared to steal some food, Su Shi quickly stopped him.

Even if there's no reason for the separate serving yet, can't he tell that this isn't for two people?

"So Mom's coming home tonight? That's rare."

They wondered why Su Shi had prepared such a lavish dinner, but it turned out there was another reason.

If it's the adoptive mother coming home for dinner, then that makes sense.

Although Qinghe was adopted by her, they actually only ate together a few times...

My adoptive mother is really amazing; she's always so busy that she can't even come home for dinner.

She's practically a superwoman, managing to support her family all by herself.

Because Qinghe receives a considerable amount of pocket money from his adoptive mother every week.

Students in Qinghe receive monthly allowances; they don't receive weekly allowances.

Some people's monthly income is less than what they earn in a week in Qinghe...

Nagasaki's mother is terrifyingly strong...

Indeed, she deserved such a sumptuous dinner.

"After that, it became quite common."

“Starting today, Mom will be able to come home for dinner every day for a long time.”

It may be rare, but Su Shi has long been used to it.

Even Su Shi was surprised to hear this news from her mother today.

That workaholic mother actually manages to come home on time every day...

In that case, Su Shi will need to be careful to keep her distance from Qing He when she is at home.

Otherwise, if Mom comes home and catches us, we won't be able to get away with it like we did yesterday...

I told Qinghe about this now so that he wouldn't act rashly at home in the future.

That kind of thing—where someone hugs you all the time—definitely needs to be stopped.

As for helping out once a day, that depends on whether the conditions allow it.

If Mom were home, she definitely wouldn't be able to help Qinghe.

They can't exactly say that the two of them are going to go into the bathroom together again in front of their mother..., can they?

Even if Qinghe had the guts, Su Shicai wouldn't cooperate with him...

In any case, Qinghe needs to behave himself during this period.

"Could it be because we scared Mom last night...?"

As her biological daughter, Su Shi was naturally happy to hear this news, hoping that her mother could reduce her workload.

However, Qinghe had other issues in mind...

Why is my adoptive mother, who used to be unable to come home on time, or even for several days in a row, now able to come home every day?

Is it simply because you have free time at work that you're able to do this?

Qinghe didn't quite believe this explanation.

What could possibly be the reason that would make the adoptive mother give up her work and return home?

Then Qinghe remembered the scene his adoptive mother had witnessed last night…

Surely, it's worrying to see teenage siblings scrubbing and bathing together, right?

Of course, the foster mother didn't mean to forbid Qinghe from contacting Sushi; otherwise, she would have had plenty of ways to keep the two of them apart.

Perhaps she did this to slow down the relationship between Qinghe and Sushi, in order to prevent it from developing too quickly...?

However, these are just Qinghe's guesses; perhaps he's just overthinking and misunderstanding...

……

Chapter 129 Little Qinghe is quite unlike a man, so pitiful.

The Nagasaki family finally managed to gather together for a meal after a long time.

After that, Nagasaki's mother didn't say anything bad about the two siblings.

This left Qinghe unsure whether her guess was true or not...

We can only try and figure this out slowly in the future.

Anyway, the adoptive mother hasn't gone to cause trouble for Qinghe.

They still treat each other like family.

It wasn't until I took a shower that night...

Today, Su Shi took a shower early and went back to her room to hide, probably worried that her adoptive mother would say something to her.

Qinghe was about to take a shower after finishing editing the video for Miaomeng.

Then his adoptive mother set her sights on him...

"Little Qinghe, shall Mommy scrub your back today?"

Just as Qinghe was about to enter the bathroom, he was startled by his adoptive mother who rushed out of the master bedroom.

They even offered to help scrub his back...

Now Qinghe can draw a conclusion: her adoptive mother must be worried that her relationship with Su Shi is progressing too fast, which is why she recently planned to come home from get off work on time every day.

This request is probably to test what's going on between Qinghe and Sushi in the bathroom, so she wants to go into the bathroom with Qinghe, right?

Otherwise, what mother would be so proactive in doing this kind of thing...

Well, in this country, it doesn't seem to be that unusual.

Otherwise, if she had found out last night that she and Su Shi were taking a bath together, her adoptive mother probably wouldn't have been able to stay calm.

She simply commented that the two had a good relationship and then let it go.

Qinghe didn't believe that her adoptive mother was doing this to gather information or test him.

"Um, this isn't very convenient..."

"Mom, you should wash first..."

No matter what, it was still too strange to go into the bathroom with her adoptive mother, so Qinghe quickly refused.

At least Qinghe and Sushi are sworn brothers and sisters, so even if something unexpected happens, they can still be together normally and even get married.

But what kind of situation is it for the adoptive mother to just come in...?

Although they are not related by blood, they can actually obtain legal status...

But if people knew about this age difference, they would definitely gossip and point fingers...

In any case, Qinghe had no intention of wronging his adoptive mother.

It's best to avoid this kind of thing as soon as possible.

"What's wrong, Xiao Qinghe? Are you feeling guilty?"

"It's just a shower, why are you so nervous?"

"If Soyo can do it, why can't Mom?"

However, his adoptive mother did not let him go just because Qinghe refused.

He also posed three thought-provoking questions.

It's as if Qinghe disagrees, which means he secretly did something unspeakable with Su Shi behind his adoptive mother's back.

Otherwise, why would I mind going into the bathroom with her...?

Only those with bad intentions would be afraid to accept such a thing, right?

So, did something really happen between him and Su Shi?

"Then, Mom will cover herself up like Soyo, right?"

If it were just like Su Shi's experience of helping with a bath, Qinghe wouldn't be afraid.

But Qinghe was genuinely afraid that her adoptive mother would come in without any cover...

She was, after all, a mature woman who had been married and raised children, so naturally she wouldn't subconsciously try to hide it like a young girl.

It's possible that they might go inside without a towel.

After all, Qinghe had previously been tested by her adoptive mother by sticking her leg out from under the dining table, so she was really afraid that her adoptive mother would do something bold again.

If Qinghe were to accept her adoptive mother's challenge, she should first clarify the matter before making a decision...

Otherwise, that would be far too improper...

At the same time, I'm afraid my own mental fortitude won't be able to withstand it...

"Isn't this a matter of course?"

"What nonsense are you thinking about your mother, you little rascal?"

Upon hearing Qinghe's question, his adoptive mother, dissatisfied, slapped Qinghe on the head with a chopstick.

It seemed like they were blaming him for overthinking.

"Sorry……"

"Then I'll leave it to Mom..."

If that's the case, then Qinghe is fine.

Anyway, when Su Shi took a shower today, she didn't put hot water in the bathtub, so there probably wasn't a bathing session.
