“Yay!”
This time, Marin Kitagawa really did jump directly off the sofa.
Causing a jiggle within her large T-shirt.
“Yay, my judgment was indeed correct; Shiro-kun is my compatriot, an angel who came to save me!”
“Ah, I got excited and forgot to reply.”
After her excitement, Marin Kitagawa quickly picked up her phone and continued typing.
“Thank you so much, Shiro-kun.”
“Keep it up. If you need anything, just tell me.”
“By the way, Shiro-kun, do you have time tomorrow afternoon after school?”
Watching the emojis and text rapidly change on the screen, Shiro could feel Marin Kitagawa’s abundant energy through the screen.
“Tomorrow afternoon? Yes, I have time.”
“That’s great! Let’s go shopping together to buy the materials needed for the costume.”
“You wouldn’t have just bought a bunch of random things before and then started making things haphazardly, would you?”
“Eh? Shiro-kun, how did you know?”
“What did you even do in craft class…”
“I just can’t learn it, please, Shiro-kun.”
Unconsciously, the distance between them had narrowed further, and the conversational atmosphere was harmonious and natural.
“Let’s go to your house first to look at the design drawings. After getting the detailed data, we can proceed to the next steps.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll listen to Shiro-kun. See you tomorrow then.”
“See you tomorrow.”
Putting down her phone, Kitagawa Marin was in a very good mood, bouncing around her room.
Suddenly, she saw a black lace bra hanging on the sofa.
Her brows furrowed slightly.
“Lately, I’ve been feeling chest tightness, but it disappears after I take it off. Could it be…!”
Kitagawa Marin rummaged through her drawer for a tape measure, took off her T-shirt, and stood in front of the mirror.
“Hmm, it seems to have grown indeed.”
She pulled the tape measure with her bare hand and started measuring, but no matter how hard she tried, the data wasn’t accurate.
“Looks like I’ll need someone else’s help.”
“Before, the lingerie store staff always helped, but it’s so late now, I obviously can’t go out again.”
“Oh, right, I’ll ask Shiro-kun for help tomorrow!”
Kitagawa Marin thought carelessly. Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
Meanwhile, Shiro, after an hour and twenty minutes of driving, finally returned to his own home.
“Brother!”
As soon as he opened the door, Yuki Suo pounced into Shiro’s arms with a big jump.
Shiro instinctively caught her, her skirt hem caught between his fingers.
“Yuki, come down quickly. You’re a girl, how can you be so reckless?”
Yumi poked her head out: “Welcome back, Shiro. Are you hungry? Do you want me to cook for you?”
“No need.”
Shiro bent down to put Yuki Suo down, then changed into slippers: “I already ate outside. I had a special fried chicken set meal.”
“Hmm!”
“Your grandpa called today to ask about your situation. I told him you’ve been working very hard these past few days.”
“Although I don’t know much about business, I still want to hear your plan, Shiro.”
“That’s right, Brother. Mom and I can both help you.”
Yumi might not understand those things, but Yuki Suo and Shiro received the same education, so they weren’t unfamiliar with them.
Shiro patted Yuki’s head: “Let’s not. If that old man knew you were helping me, he might directly invalidate the assessment.”
“But you don’t need to worry. Over the years, I’ve saved nearly twenty million in my private stash.”
“You absolutely don’t need to worry about me not having start-up capital.”
“Running around outside these past few days, I was just looking for business opportunities.”
“Nearly twenty million?”
Hearing this number, Yuki Suo couldn’t help but widen her eyes: “Wow, Brother, you secretly saved so much behind my back.”
“If you saved your monthly allowance, you’d have this much too!”
Although the Suou Family adopted an elite education, the siblings’ pocket money wasn’t too much.
Only about a hundred thousand a month.
However, they would receive red envelopes during New Year and holidays, and by saving bits and pieces, Shiro now had his private stash.
After Yumi learned this information, she also felt relieved.
Her child had indeed grown up and now had his own secrets.
Amidst her relief, a sense of loss welled up in her heart.
When did he start saving?
As a mother, she hadn’t even noticed.
“Alright, alright. Since that’s the case, I won’t ask too many questions about the assessment anymore.”
“Go quickly and tidy up. You’ve been tired all day. Take a shower and get some rest early.”
“Eh?” Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
Yumi still wanted to say something, but Shiro suddenly stepped forward and pulled her into a hug.
“Don’t worry, Mom. I’m capable of taking care of myself.”
The broad and warm chest instantly dispelled the gloom in Yumi’s heart.
It was like sunlight shining into her world.
This… what was this feeling?
Yumi’s face was full of surprise, and Shiro gently stroked her long hair, instantly making her feel like she had found a reliance.
“Mom!”
Yuki Suo stood by, arms crossed, her gaze fixed on the distance between the two of them.
Although she knew Shiro had the old man’s assessment hanging over him.
She didn’t know about the rule that Shiro was not allowed to cross the line with her during the assessment period.
So she was very curious why, even though she should be closer to Shiro, he seemed to favor their mother more.
Was it because he lacked motherly love too much before he met their mother when he was little?
Darn it.
Had she been striving in the wrong direction all this time?
From today onwards, I will become dignified and gentle, and learn from Mother.
Yumi awkwardly pulled away from Shiro’s embrace: “Alright, alright, you’ve both grown up, I don’t need to worry.”
“A bath? I’ll go run the water for you!”
“I’ll just rinse off, no need for a bath.”
Saying that, Shiro went upstairs to get his change of clothes.
Yumi naturally walked to the living room sofa and sat down, her heart pounding.
Her love for Shiro was no longer pure.
She no longer simply saw him as her son.
During the hug just now, she actually felt like… no!”
She mustn’t think about it.
“Yuki, go to bed early tonight. I’m a bit tired, so I’m going up first.”
“Oh, oh, I’ll go to sleep after I finish this episode.”
Yuki Suo sat on the sofa, swinging her legs, occasionally letting out bell-like laughter as she watched the TV screen.
Yumi got up and went upstairs.
As soon as she stepped onto the stairs, she bumped directly into Shiro.
