Chapter 217 More than a partner, less than a lover

After school, Morishima Yuksa did not stay at school as usual. After saying hello to Kitagawa Cheru, Ejima Myo, and Kitazon Rinne, she directly picked up her schoolbag, left the classroom, and headed home. road.

Regarding the invitation she proposed to Bei Chuan Che in the physical education class today, the latter was only stunned for a moment, and after recovering from his senses, he readily agreed, which seemed to relieve the complicated mood that she had been worried about at that time. .

only……

Regarding this invitation, in mother's own words, she hoped to express her gratitude to Che through this meal.

The mother said that a large part of the reason why the relationship between mother and daughter could be restored to its current state was due to Che Kitagawa. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, this meal should be invited for both emotion and reason.

But I know my mother well, and I can somewhat guess what she means.

Gratitude is true, but there are other purposes as well.

As I expected, my mother hoped that through this meal, please ask Che to take care of herself during her absence.

In exchange for my previous temper, I would definitely not accept this 'messaging mission'.

One is that she doesn't want her mother to interfere in her social circle, and the other is that she doesn't want others to meddle in the relationship between her and Che.

But people are always changing.

After guessing her mother's intentions, her first reaction was not to be bored, but to pretend to be confused.

In this regard, before going to bed last night, she denounced herself for being unrighteous in her heart, but after some self-reflection, she still resolutely chose to play stupid.

Just like what her mother once told her, sometimes it's necessary to pretend to be confused until you understand.

Coming down the long ramp of Shirakawa High School, Morishima Yukisa slowed down slightly, avoiding the two students from the homecoming department of the next-door college who hurried past her.

This time point happens to be the time when the nearby high school is out. Inevitably, the roads that used to be relatively spacious will naturally become slightly crowded at this moment.

Among the crowds, the chatter of high school students in various school uniforms even overwhelmed the sound of vehicles on the road.

Withdrawing her gaze, Morishima Yukisa moved closer to the inside of the sidewalk, and the speed of her feet gradually increased.

Compared to the extremely lively journey home with her companions, she still prefers a quieter journey home alone.

However, life always likes to make some crude jokes with others.

Before Morishima Xuesha took a few steps, after she walked downhill for a short distance, a figure she was all too familiar with was reflected in her eyes.

"Snow yarn."

Wearing simple jeans, a white shirt, and a pair of sneakers, Morishima Yukie waved at her.

"……Mother?"

Morishima Xuesha subconsciously shouted, but there was a bit more doubt in her beautiful eyes.

In her impression, Morishima Yukie didn't like to go out when she didn't have a job.

Compared to the noisy streets, she is more accustomed to staying at home, either lying peacefully on the sofa and staring at the ceiling in a daze; or going to the study room to read books that she has not finished reading before, and occasionally, she will Looking at the old photos, I was stunned.

From this perspective, my mother's living habits give people a sense of déjà vu.

——It is too close to the elderly after retirement.

"Very surprised?"

Morishima Yuki blinked, took two steps forward, and stood beside Morishima Yukisa.

The mother and daughter stand side by side.

"Ah."

Morishima Xuesha glanced at her mother and expressed her true thoughts.

Hearing this, Morishima Yukie just smiled humorously, and lifted the plastic bag in his hand, "I came out to buy some fruit, and I was thinking about the way, so I came to wait for you."

"Oh."

Hearing such an explanation, Morishima Yukisa nodded, and then set foot on the way home with her mother.

Drunken sunshine spreads all over the land of the city.

In the bursts of dazzling glass, the streets and alleys of the city seem to have been added with an inexplicable era filter. Suddenly, the time seems to have returned to the last century.

Walking through the intersection, Morishima Yuki coughed lightly, and took the initiative to open up the conversation between mother and daughter, "Walking home together like this, in retrospect, it has been a long, long time since it happened."

"..." Morishima Yuki was silent for a while, then turned her head away, and answered the conversation in a low voice with a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Because your work is too busy."

This is both a complaint and a truth.

During that time, Morishima Yuki was very busy at work. She often had to work until eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening before going home. Even when she did go home, she often looked exhausted. , rarely have the energy to chat with her, or care about her situation.

"Feel sorry."

Hearing her daughter's complaint, Morishima Yukie's eyes flashed guilt.

The music world is actually not as pure as most people imagine.

With no background and no backing, if you want to stand out, you must not only be tough, but also need strong social skills. You must be versatile and able to have both sides, while maintaining a social distance from others to avoid getting burned.

Dealing with people is a very exhausting thing.

This directly led to the fact that during that period, when she returned home, even if she saw her daughter waiting for her, she could only squeeze out a forced smile, pat her head briefly, and go back to her room. Went to wash up and rest.

This was perfunctory, but for her at that time, it was already the limit after strong support.

"It's nothing." Morishima Yukisha shook her head, let out a sigh of relief, and said with a little more relief in her tone, "I can understand."

On this issue, she has always seen it clearly.

However, for various reasons before, even if she understood, she would quarrel with her mother because of this.

Just because I can understand you doesn't mean I can accept your approach.

Probably so.

But later, as Che intervened and continued to enlighten her, her thoughts gradually began to change.

Although she still felt uncomfortable with certain issues in her heart, and there was an ice that could not be melted away for the time being, but at least it would no longer be like it was before. As long as she talked about these past events, she was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. Normally, they would explode on the spot.

"..."

Morishima Yukie's expression moved for a moment.

She turned her eyebrows sideways, glanced at her daughter secretly, and then quickly withdrew her gaze.

She was surprised by such an answer.

Last month, she also discussed this issue with her, and the answer she got at that time was-it doesn't matter if the tone is slightly cold.

She knew that her daughter was concerned about this issue, but she really didn't know how to explain it or make up for it.

Now, the moment she heard the answer, her mood began to throb uncontrollably.

The relationship between her and her daughter has not been as close as it is now for a long time.

Even though there is still a certain distance between them, and those cracks have not been completely healed, but compared to the incompatibility before, they are much more harmonious now.

In the eyes of others, she will no longer be equated with the image of 'mother and daughter who have a bad relationship'.

"Okay, it's my mother's fault. Let's not bring up this unhappy topic for the time being." Morishima Yuki coughed slightly and then brought up another topic. This was also the reason why she came here to wait for her daughter. The real reason was, "Ache, did he agree to that thing?"

"accepted."

Morishima Xuesha nodded slightly, raised her eyebrows, and looked not far away.

At this moment, the traffic light at the intersection not far away happened to be red.

If they maintain their current walking speed, they just don't have to wait for the red light, and when they walk over, it will be a green light.

"Did he look surprised? Or..."

The sound of hurried footsteps sounded behind her, and Morishima Yukie suddenly took hold of Morishima Yukisa's wrist and forcefully stopped her steps.

In the next second, a hurried office worker ran past Morishima Yukisa.

At the same time, a phrase of 'private Marseille', which she was no stranger to, came out from the other party's mouth.

Turning her head, Morishima Yukisa glanced at her mother.

Those beautiful eyes reflected a mature face that was [-]% similar to hers.

The next second, she withdrew her gaze, lowered her eyebrows, and thanked her mother honestly, "Thank you."

"this is nothing."

Morishima Yuki shook her head and released her hand holding her daughter's wrist, and the two of them started walking slowly on the way home.

My daughter's reaction can be attributed to the recent relaxation and closer relationship between them.

In the past, chatting like this was impossible. As for expressing thanks, there would be, but it would never be just a cold 'thank you' like just now.

"Back to the thing we talked about just now." Morishima Yukie changed the plastic bag in his left hand to his right. "Did he say anything else when he agreed?"

As someone who has experienced it, she is very aware of the twists and turns between young people.

In terms of attitude towards feelings, my daughter can be said to be in the same line as me back then.

The biggest advantage is that it is honest most of the time, and the biggest disadvantage is that it is not honest enough in a small part of the time.

Both mother and daughter are actually the same. They both know what they want from the beginning, and they will not be arrogant and say some embarrassing words. However, those passionate emotions are probably not able to be expressed properly to the person they like. of.

Therefore, someone needs to be in charge, and even more importantly, someone needs to make suggestions.

It's just that I was too young back then and didn't choose the right person.

"No."

Morishima Xuesha shook her head honestly.

"Then you are telling the truth?"

Hearing this, Morishima Yukie showed embarrassment.

"Still..." She glanced at her daughter, and gently scratched the side of her face with her free hand, "You changed the words a little?"

"No."

Morishima Yukisha hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to truthfully repeat what she had said to Kitagawa Che.

"..."

After listening to her daughter's narration, Morishima Yukie was completely silent.

She no longer knew what to say to this silly girl.

It is definitely a good habit to change to normal times without adding oil and vinegar.

Of course, it may not be appropriate to use the term "adding oil and vinegar". It is more appropriate to say whether there is another way.

The answer is no. A certain silly girl was as candid as a primary school student. They did whatever the teacher said. They relayed the content verbatim and even imitated her movements and expressions.

Of course, this is not without benefits.

But, it can actually be done better.

Strictly speaking, his silly girl wasted an opportunity.

"I'm saying this..." Seeing her mother's appearance, Morishima Xuesha subconsciously pursed her lips, and asked uncertainly, "Is there something wrong?"

When it comes to relationship issues, she is very clear that she needs to accept opinions with an open mind.

Even if the person who gave the opinion, his mother didn't have a lot of experience in love, but compared to himself, who has zero love experience, he can definitely be regarded as someone who has experienced it.

Ugh.

After sighing in the bottom of their hearts, both mother and daughter slowed down, and just set foot on the second crosswalk home.

"It's not wrong, right? You can understand it as..." Morishima Yuki thought about her words, instinctively held her daughter's hand, and pulled her through the crowd, "This time I only got a passing grade, but in fact, I only need to make a few adjustments to get an [-]."

"Then I need, no, how should I change it?"

Yukisa Morishima said this without thinking.

"You and Ah Che are partners, right?"

Morishima Yukie thought about it, and raised her mouth casually.

"Yes."

Morishima Yukisa glanced at her mother with some doubts.

She didn't quite understand why the other party suddenly mentioned this.

"That's it." Morishima Yuki blinked, and her meaningful eyes fell on her daughter's beautiful face, "Partners should be closer than friends, and occasionally show off the cuteness of being a woman , is perfectly fine.

"What's more, if I don't feel wrong, he quite likes a girl with your personality."

This is not her nonsense, but her intuitive feeling after several contacts with Bei Chuan Che.

This kid is naturally immune to attributes like Tsundere, and he doesn't catch a cold.

But for those types who are not good at words, there is a lot of patience.

Of course, the premise is that the person who is not good at words is a friend with him.

Hearing this, Morishima Yukisa's face turned rosy unconsciously.

Under the sunshine, that indifferent face became inexplicably charming.

Subconsciously, she turned her head away, avoiding her mother's sight, and fell silent.

She actually felt what her mother said, but due to some unspeakable reasons, she didn't delve into it, let alone put it into practice.

Walking through the pedestrian crossing line, when the crowd around her stopped so much, Morishima Yukie let go of her daughter's hand.

"In short, you should seize some small opportunities to deepen his impression of you." The well-known musician in the industry paused, and his expression became more emotional, "Sometimes, between partners, maybe It’s just a little bit off.”
