It was just a few short exchanges, and when the information that Tamajo Michiyo was going to tell him was finished, there was no longer a greeting, and the girl simply said goodbye.

She left, away from the light escaping from the doorway, and stepped into the night, disappearing into the courtyard wall.

It came suddenly, and he walked simply, and Mamoru Suzuki still stood in place with a slightly dazed look, looking at the place where his back disappeared.

Reacting, Tamaki Michiyo was indeed gone, and Mamoru Suzuki put his hand on the doorknob and closed the door.

Then, recalling what Tamashiro had just said in his mind, he turned around and almost hit Yuko head-on.

"Mamoru Komoru ." Yuko didn't know when she came behind him, standing on the steps of the entrance to block his way, her eyes staring at him with a certain meaning.

Mamoru Suzuki paused, "... What's wrong? ”

Yuko didn't speak, just smiled and groaned.

Looking at each other, Mamoru Suzuki shifted his gaze a little unnaturally, looking at the stairs leading to the second floor behind Yuko.

“... Nothing. He said.

"Nothing," what is it?" Yuko asked.

It seems that Yuko will not let him go easily... Mamoru Suzuki sighed inwardly, and had to face the reality and look directly at Yuko's overly dazzling eyes again.

"Mother." He said, "I don't know if you know a thing. ”

"Huh? What's the matter? ”

"Give your child plenty of personal space... Something, something like that. ”

"Eh..."Yuko blinked a little troubledly, then put one hand on her cheek, and seemed to think about it very seriously, and finally when she finished thinking, she looked at Mamoru Suzuki and shook her head with an affirmative expression, "Mom doesn't know." ”

"......" Mamoru Suzuki didn't know what to say for a while, so he was silent for a while, and then asked, "And now?" ”

"I don't know." Yuko shook her head again.

... It's really stubborn.

"That..."Mamoru Suzuki had to say again, "I heard that there is also a saying that if you don't leave enough private space for your child, you will be hated by your child or something." ”

Yuko looked surprised: "Will you be hated if you don't leave enough personal space?" ”

"Hmm."

"I see." Yuko nodded, and suddenly asked, "Does that little Mamoru hate his mother?" ”

Mamoru Suzuki opened her mouth, and Yuko smiled.

Her sparkling eyes were like the sparkling and unbreakable dreams of a girl, so dazzling that people didn't dare to look at them directly.

Mamoru Suzuki looked at the stairs leading to the second floor again.

"This kind of thing..."

"So it will?"

“......”

Mamoru Suzuki regretted it, he didn't expect to be asked like this, this kind of question can't be answered at all.

"Who knows if it will." He replied vaguely.

"But Mamoru definitely won't, right?"

“......”

Mamoru Suzuki admits defeat: "Okay, okay, it's actually nothing, it's just..."

"Just what?" A smile of victory finally appeared on Yuko's face.

"It's just that Yucheng's classmates asked me to go for a morning run tomorrow morning." Mamoru Suzuki tried to retell the story in a calm tone.

"Morning jogging together?" Yuko was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Why?" ”

"If you want to say why... Because I plan to join the kendo club, and Tamaki-san is the head of the kendo club, she gave me a week to practice with her, and then the official entrance examination of the kendo club will be held next Friday... I don't know why, but that's probably why she invited me for a morning run. ”

Yuko kept blinking her eyes, understanding what Suzuki Mamoru said, and after a long time, she came back to her senses and looked at Suzuki Mamoru with an eyes full of incredulity: "So Xiao Shou suddenly said that he wanted to practice kendo before, is it actually because of this?" ”

Mamoru Suzuki sighed, his tone helpless: "So, it's because I guessed that you would think so that I didn't want to say it." ”

"What else is that?"

"In addition to love, there are many things in life that are worth acting for."

"For example?"

"For example, the girl in the neighborhood will turn into a cat, or something."

Mamoru Suzuki replied inwardly.

As for the language... It's probably useless to explain it now, Yuko originally thought that he fell in love at first sight with the three thousand generations of Yucheng, and after the current incident, it can be said that "the evidence is conclusive".

"I'll go back to my room first." Mamoru Suzuki said, silently walking up the steps of the entrance hall and stepping up the stairs that lead to the second floor.

During this period, Yuko had a smile on the corner of her mouth that could not be erased, and she watched him all the way.

......

The weekend is over, and it's Monday again, it's time for school.

The alarm clock was set, and Mamoru Suzuki woke up earlier than usual. Got up, changed clothes, washed up, took a bag of individually wrapped snacks from the coffee table in the living room... Yuko thought it tasted good in return for visiting Tamaki's house earlier, and after eating it, she bought a lot from a nearby dim sum shop - but she got tired of eating it and stopped eating it, so she put it here like this.

Mamoru Suzuki looked at the confectionery with the word "Kita-Shirakawa" printed on the package in his hand, confirmed that it was still within the tasting period, and tore open the package and took a bite.

It is soft and glutinous, slightly sweet, and it is okay.

"Before Suzuki's morning run, it is best to eat a small amount of food to replenish energy, otherwise with Suzuki's body, running on an empty stomach may cause harm to the body."

This is the reminder that Tamashiro Michiyo reminded him last night, although the phrase "with Suzuki-san's body" is still a little awkward, but Suzuki Mamoru is still very persuasive.

After eating the snack, the time was almost just right, Mamoru Suzuki changed his shoes and walked out of the house.

It's already mid-April, but the chill in the air still makes you shrink when you walk out of your home in the morning.

This chill came to his face, burrowing into the collar, and Mamoru Suzuki's footsteps as he stepped out of the house suddenly stopped. He saw the breath he exhaled turn into a hazy white mist in midair.

"It's cold."

Mamoru Suzuki muttered to himself, closed the door, stepped out of the house, and walked out of the front yard.

After leaving the confines of his home completely, Mamoru Suzuki turned to look to his right.

The time was just right, and under the sky that was not yet fully illuminated, the sun had not yet risen, and the morning light was slightly dim, the girl walked out of the house and into his field of vision.

It is still the simple and neat ponytail, the upper body is light blue single, and the lower body is matched with sportswear, which makes the body extremely light and energetic.

She saw him too, and their eyes met in the cold air, and then the girl nodded and approached him.

"Good morning, Suzuki-san." She greeted him.

After Suzuki Shou replied to say hello, the girl looked like she didn't plan to stay longer, and said, "Then it's started." ”

"Wait." Mamoru Suzuki suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Yucheng Michiyo's eyes were puzzled.

"Before that, I actually wanted to ask last night." Mamoru Suzuki raised his hand in front of his mouth and exhaled, "So, why on earth did Tamaki-san invite me to go for a morning run?" ”

Yucheng Sanchiyo's expression remained unchanged, looking at him, his eyes were still puzzled: "Didn't I say it?" ”

Mamoru Suzuki shook his head.

"Nope."

“......”

After a short silence, in the cold air of the early morning, the two people standing in place were relatively silent.
