Izumi Toru took it respectfully with both hands, and then began to sip it in small sips.
Igarashi Mika knelt down next to Izumi Toru, squinting at him.
If something went wrong while drinking tea, he might have to be given special tea ceremony training.
As if sensing danger from the girl's gaze, Izumi Toru was careful this time and did not make any mistakes.
Returning the tea bowl, Igarashi Shizuri nodded with satisfaction.
Izumi Tetsu just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard a slight smacking sound from the girl next to him.
"Tsk~"
Turning his face sideways, Mika Igarashi had regret on his face.
It seemed that she was very sorry that she could not find the opportunity to provide special training to Izumi Toru.
"The tea ceremony has improved a lot during the days that Kiyohime has been with you," Igarashi Shizuri said softly while adding charcoal.
Izumi Toru lowered his head and said, "You are overly complimentary."
He whispered in his heart: When he is with Qing Ji, he only cares about you and me every day, how can he have time to practice tea ceremony...
"Are you used to drinking tea?"
"yes."
"Whether you are used to drinking or not, you have to get used to it in the future. If you can't do this, I will not marry Qingji to you. Her marriage is my decision."
The woman's light words stunned Izumi Toru for a moment.
The next moment, he touched his forehead to the table.
"yes!"
Igarashi Shizuri waved her hand, "Don't be so formal, just be like Kiyohime and Mika."
He shouted to the graceful and beautiful woman in front of him: "Aunt Jingli."
The woman savored Izumi Tetsu's title, pondered for a moment, and looked at Igarashi Mika.
"Back then, if Yuhua had listened to me, you might have called me mother now."
Izumi Tetsu's expression suddenly stiffened.
It wasn't because of Igarashi Shizuri's words, but because Igarashi Mika was pinching the soft flesh around his waist with her fingers and twisting it hard.
"Qing Ji doesn't want anyone to take away her Izumi-kun!"
For the last few words, Igarashi Mika spoke with force, and her hands became even harder.
"hiss!"
As if he didn't hear Izumi Tooru's gasp of pain, Shizuri Igarashi continued talking to her daughter.
"There are so many girls around Izumi-san, doesn't Kiyohime allow it?"
"I'm different."
"What's the difference?"
Igarashi Mika didn't want to answer this question.
So, she squeezed Izumi Tetsu's hand harder.
"Ohana, Kiyohime told me that Izumi-san was taken away from you and she returned it to you."
The girl's heart trembled.
Neither Jinguji Kiyohime nor Izumi Toru had any intention of telling each other that they would disappear after the New Year.
Only Mika Igarashi knows everything.
Watching her friend endure the pain every day and reluctantly missing Izumi Toru, watching Izumi Toru say goodbye to the women close to him one by one as if arranging funeral arrangements, and at the same time carrying the secrets of the two of them, she is not what she seems on the surface.
So easy.
She pursed her lips hard.
"Give it back to me? Izumi Tetsu doesn't belong to me, there's no such thing as "Give it back". And I don't like such a carefree man!"
Igarashi Shizuri took a deep look at her daughter.
dislike?
Every time you give up something you like to Qingji, you will secretly hide and cry. Last year at the school festival, you cried the most.
"That, that..." Izumi Toru finally spoke.
Igarashi Mika glared at him, "What's the matter?"
"Although I like you like this very much, aren't your hands tired? How about taking a rest first before continuing?"
Izumi Toru tactfully reminded Jinguji Kiyohime: It’s time to let go, Miss.
"Like it? Bang! Abnormal m!"
Swearing, she finally loosened her fingers and let Izumi Tetsu go.
Izumi Toru then began to rub his waist slightly to relieve the pain, and gently breathed in the cold air from his mouth.
"Izumi-san."
"Um?"
"Leave me a recording."
"ah?"
Izumi Toru looked at Igarashi Shizuri in astonishment.
recording?
What's the meaning?
Seeing his surprise, Igarashi Shizuri explained: "Qing Ji will definitely cry when the time comes. If it were you, you would be able to coax her."
Izumi Toru thought about that scene for a moment.
Jinguji Kiyohime was holding on to Igarashi Shizuri's clothes while crying and shaking them. The latter was in a hurry, not at all his usual noble and inviolable appearance.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh: "Isn't this interesting?"
Igarashi Shizuri couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
"I didn't expect that Izumi-san would even dare to tease me."
"Didn't you say you wanted me to treat you like Kiyohime?" Izumi Toru asked.
"I'll just tell you."
"Then just think I didn't say that just now."
Suddenly, Igarashi Shizuri covered her mouth and laughed.
"Izumi-san, you are really good at pleasing women. What a pity. If I had met you twenty years earlier, maybe I would..."
"Mother!" Igarashi Mika suddenly shouted loudly.
"whispering sound!"
The beautiful woman curled her lips, a little dissatisfied with her daughter for interrupting her.
Charming, with a bit of cuteness.
When Igarashi and his daughter stopped talking, Toru Izumi suddenly interrupted the conversation.
"Twenty years ago, Igarashi and I were not born yet. How about we meet ten years earlier?"
Hearing his words, Igarashi Shizuri raised her eyebrows, while Igarashi Mika raised her eyebrows and stared at Izumi Tooru angrily.
】
If you dare to make such a joke, let me teach you a lesson!
Ignoring Igarashi Mika's threatening look, Izumi Toru continued: "In this way, I can stay with Kiyohime for ten more years, right?"
The anger on Igarashi Mika's face disappeared, and she became a little ashamed.
So that’s what I was going to say. I thought I was going to use the same words against Sakurai Naoko on my mother...
Igarashi Shizuri glanced at her daughter who felt guilty because of guilt.
Izumi-san said that on purpose just to make you think wrong, but you can’t even tell?
It is said that a girl in love has an IQ of 0. You haven't even fallen in love with him yet, so you are so stupid?
but......
Even if you start falling in love now, there are only a few days left.
Thinking of this, Igarashi Shizuri sighed inwardly.
"Izumi-san."
"Um."
"Yuhua has been in a bad mood these days, could you please spend more time with her?"
"I don't need..."
Igarashi Mika subconsciously wanted to refuse, but suddenly thought of what he was going to do, and couldn't say anything to shirk.
"Don't worry, I'm very good at pleasing girls," Izumi Toru said with a smile.
"Mika has a bad temper, is that okay?"
"She can take it out on me."
"Thanks a lot."
"It's my honor."
Seeing that the two of them had arranged their own time in just a few words, Igarashi Mika gave a light "hum".
Izumi Toru turned his head to the side, lowered his head at the girl who seemed a little dissatisfied, and clasped his hands together.
"Since I have to save Qingji, why don't you just stay with me for a while longer? Please!"
The girl didn't respond.
He raised his head, and Mika Igarashi immediately turned his head away.
"Please~"
After a while, Izumi Toru finally heard Igarashi Mika's response.
"...Since it is mother's request, there is nothing we can do..."
The girl's snow-colored gooseneck is slightly red.
