Chapter 975 Mother-in-law's Assistance
After dinner.
Hanyu Kusunoki took the initiative to help clean up the dishes.
Although Nakamori Akiko repeatedly refused, saying, "You are a guest, how can I let you do it?"
But he still insisted on helping to wipe the table and put the chairs back in place. He acted as if he was a part of the family, so diligent that no one could find fault with him.
Of course, this exemplary performance of "other people's children" inevitably caused a young girl lying on the sofa to suffer unexpected disaster.
"Look at how hardworking Xiaonan is, and then look at you, so lazy. You just lie on the sofa after dinner, like you have no bones." Nakamori Aiko habitually scolded her daughter while sealing the leftovers and putting them in the refrigerator.
The middle school girl lay listlessly on the soft sofa, rubbing her slightly swollen belly, and rolled her eyes at the diligent and busy Hanyu Kusunoki and her mother at the same time.
Humph, she has Lao... ahem, she has Nan to worry about, and mom is just envious and jealous.
She's not afraid!
in the kitchen.
Just as Aiko Nakamori finished packing, her cell phone rang.
She picked up the phone and listened to the urgent report from her subordinates. Her capable brows furrowed slightly and her expression became serious.
"Okay, I understand the details. The chain of evidence must be rechecked. I will return to the procuratorate immediately to organize the supplementary files. I must finalize the version tonight to ensure a smooth trial tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Nakamori Aoi looked at Hanyu Kusunoki, who had followed her into the kitchen, and Aoko, who had followed closely, with a hint of apology on her face. "Sorry, Kusunoki, Aoko, there's an important case that needs urgent attention. There are some details about the evidence that I need to personally verify, so I have to go back to the procuratorate right away. I'm really sorry for not entertaining you well tonight."
Hanyu Kusunoki expressed full understanding.
"Work is important, especially in judicial cases, where details determine success or failure. Aunt Bizi, please go and do your work. Business is important, and I should take my leave."
"Don't leave in a hurry."
Nakamori Aiko waved her hand. "It's getting late, and it's not convenient for you to go back. We have a ready-made guest room at home. If you don't mind, why don't you rest here tonight? It will save you the trouble of traveling back and forth."
"This... isn't good, is it? It's too disturbing."
Hanyu Kusunoki was a little surprised.
It’s not good to stay here on your first visit...
Aoko, who was slumped on the sofa beside her, sat up straight in a daze, blinked her eyes, and suspected that she had heard it wrongly: "Mom? You let Hanyu-san...stay?"
At her house?! Staying overnight?!
Did she hear it wrong, or did her mother say it wrong?
Nakamori Aiko looked at her daughter, her tone carrying a hint of unquestionable entrustment: "Well, I have to go out temporarily, and I might be busy until very late. I am worried about you being home alone, so I asked Xiaonan to stay. She can also take care of you. Xiaonan is a reliable child, I am assured."
Qingzi: "???"
She couldn't believe her ears!
Does mom even know what she is talking about?!
Leaving Hanyu Kusunoki and her... a beautiful, youthful, and adorable girl, alone at home overnight?!
Isn't this like letting a hungry, aggressive wolf into an unsuspecting sheep pen? Furthermore, the only guarding ewe was sent away, leaving only her, a defenseless, tender lamb.
When there is danger, Hanyu Kusunoki is indeed the greatest guarantee of safety.
But when there's no danger...
Hanyu Kusunoki himself is the biggest source of danger!
It’s an epic BOSS that has acceleration, invisibility, and charm!
The baby is scared!
"Mom! I'm old enough to be home alone, no problem! No need to trouble Hanyu-san!"
Qingzi tried to make a final struggle, her cheeks flushed with anxiety.
Nakamori Aiko seemed to be completely oblivious to her daughter's shocked, panicked, and doomsday-looking look. She simply patted Hanyu Kusunoki's shoulder solemnly, her tone full of trust and entrustment.
"I'll leave Qingzi in your care, Xiaonan. This child can be quite irritable sometimes, so please take good care of him."
"Don't worry, Aunt Bizi. I promise to take good care of Qingzi."
Hanyu Kusunoki answered with a righteous look on his face, as if he had accepted some glorious and difficult task.
Nakamori Aiko nodded with satisfaction, and reminded Aoko a few more words to "be obedient" and "don't cause trouble for others", then picked up her briefcase and hurriedly left home.
The door closed with a click.
Suddenly, only Hanyu Kusunoki and Aoko were left in the room.
The air suddenly became quiet and ambiguous.
Qingzi swallowed nervously and subconsciously shrank into the corner of the sofa. She grabbed a pillow and hugged it in her arms, like a little animal that had sensed the approach of its natural enemy, alert and helpless. She blinked her big eyes at the figure whose aura was gradually changing.
Hanyu Kusunoki slowly turned around.
The gentle, reliable and upright look he had just had disappeared in an instant, replaced by an aggressive and playful smirk, his eyes like a wolf that had spotted its prey.
He walked towards the sofa step by step, and every step seemed to step on Qingzi's pounding heart.
"Hey hey hey..."
He let out a low, ambiguous, and hair-raising laugh, which was particularly clear in the overly quiet living room. "Little lamb... your shepherd aunt has left for the time being. Now, it's just us."
"W-What do you want to do?!"
Qingzi hugged the pillow tightly in her arms and warned in a timid tone, "I, I'm warning you! Don't do anything rash! Or I'll call for help! I really will!"
"Shout?"
Hanyu Kusunoki had already walked to the sofa, leaned over, and placed his arms on both sides of Aoko's body, trapping her between the sofa and his chest, his smile becoming more and more evil.
"You can shout as loud as you want. It's no use even if you scream your throat out. Aunt Bizi personally entrusted you to my care. I'm just doing my duty."
"and…"
He leaned close to her red ears, lowered his voice, and sprayed hot air, "Didn't you say... I was 'fine' when you were eating just now? Now, Teacher Nan will come and 'take good care' of our lovely classmate Qingzi..."
"Woo..."
Qingzi was shrouded in his shadow. Looking at the handsome face and the pair of eyes full of dangerous temptation so close to her, her body became limp and most of her strength to resist seemed to have been drained away.
There was only one thought swirling in my mind: It’s over, it’s over, it’s over…Mom is selling her daughter!
Is this my mother?
It’s a gift for topping up your phone bill!
……
Outside the house, on the street corner.
Aiko Nakamori did not immediately walk away to drive.
She stood in the shadow of the street lamp, looked back at the warmly lit window of her house, and a smile that concealed her achievements and fame appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Of course she knew what it meant to leave two teenage boys and girls, full of vigor and affection for each other, alone at home overnight.
But, this is just fine.
Some things need a little push, some "surprises" and opportunities to be "alone".
Boiling a frog in warm water is a safe bet, but sometimes you need to stir-fry it quickly over high heat to bring out the aroma.
You can’t keep your own juicy cabbages at home all the time. It’s time to take the initiative to nudge them... No, it’s time to let the excellent little pig nudge them.
It's a thousand times better than having it accidentally picked away by that useless kid next door one day.
Moreover, from her careful observations during dinner just now—the way her daughter would occasionally steal glances at Hanyu Kusunoki, the natural blush on her cheeks, and the subtle intimacy and tacit understanding between the two...
What should and shouldn't be done has probably been done long ago, so one night won't make a difference.
Ok.
Plan passes.
Mom is doing this for your own good, Qingzi.
As a prosecutor, my mother is very good at judging people.
Aiko Nakamori turned around happily, and the sound of her high heels tapping on the ground gradually faded away in the quiet street.
