The bright sunshine rushes through the large open window and into the room.

In an instant, warm warmth filled every corner of the room.

"Well……"

Qingdeng, whose face was directly hit by a ray of sunlight, shook his eyelids, then slowly stood up from the bed, squinted his eyes and looked out the window. After his eyelashes filtered most of the sunlight, he stood by the window and looked at Qingdeng with a smile.

The beautiful figure of Kinoshita dance looks hazy and dreamy.

"Awu...good morning...what time is it now?"

"It's just past six o'clock in the morning. Come and have breakfast! If you don't eat quickly, you will be late for duty."

Kinoshita Mai assisted Aoto in changing clothes, helped Aoto take off his white pajamas, and put on the black uniform exclusive to the Hufu Thieves. Then he and Aoto went down to the second floor of the house one by one, and walked to the restaurant where a sumptuous meal had been laid out.

Living room.

"Come on! Try it! I used a new cooking method for today's miso soup! I don't know if it suits your taste."

"Oh? A new cooking method? Then I have to try it... Oh! It tastes so good! The taste has become much mellower!"

"Really? As long as it suits your taste. I've cooked a lot and there's still a lot of miso soup left in the kitchen. If you think it tastes good, drink more!"

"Ah Wu, your cooking skills are getting better and better."

"Hehe~"

After the two briefly interacted for a while, they stopped talking.

In the small and medium-sized living room, only the sounds of clinking bowls and chopsticks and the chewing of delicious food could be heard repeatedly.

Although both of them were concentrating on eating...but while eating, Kinoshita Mai was restlessly raising her eyes to glance at Qingto next to her.

Qingden noticed Kinoshita Mai's "peeping" on him and asked:

"Awu, what's wrong?"

"Well……!"

When asked by Qingden, Kinoshita Mai's delicate body trembled slightly, and then she looked around nervously, her eyes wandering wildly.

"This...is nothing..."

She wanted to fool Qingdeng's inquiry by saying "nothing".

But after a hint of hesitation appeared on her face, she swallowed back all the prevarications that had come to her lips.

"Qingdeng...it's like this..."

Kinoshita Mai put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands, folded her hands on her kneeling legs, looked down at her fingertips, and twisted.

"Look, I am 20 years old this year, and you are already 23 years old. We have been married for a long time, but I have never been pregnant."

"Grandma, Mr. Kiryu, Mr. Goro, they are all urging me now..."

"So I feel... I feel..."

Having said this, one beautiful touch of red spreads on Kinoshita Mai's delicate and pretty face, turning Kinoshita Mai's pretty face into a beautiful white and rosy color.

"We have to work harder...to have a child as soon as possible..."

"Ah, my child..." Qingdeng raised his hand and rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, "That's right... we really need to work harder."

Seeing that Qingteng agreed with her point of view, Kinoshita Mai let out a sigh of relief as if a big stone in her heart had fallen to the ground, and then cleared her throat vigorously:

"So, in order to..."

Kinoshita Mai's voice suddenly trembled.

The blush on his face became brighter and brighter at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just the blink of an eye, the red glow spread from her cheeks to the tips of her ears, the base of her ears, and her chin.

"Now, it's still too early for you to go to the yamen and report to the thieves."

"So, so wait, wait a moment... I, I, I, we will... just... just... right here..."

Kinoshita Mai closed her eyes tightly, took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, and was about to shout out the last few embarrassing words——

"Ms. Kinoshita, the miso soup you cooked today tastes quite good. Although in terms of craftsmanship, it is far behind me."

A cold female voice without any emotion sounded from the right side of Mai Kinoshita...

In an instant, Kinoshita Mai froze as if a "time suspension magic" had been cast on her.

After a full 3 seconds, Kinoshita Mai's consciousness regained control of her body.

Kinoshita Mai turned her head to look to her right with a speed and strength that seemed to break her neck.

I saw a beautiful woman wearing a blue kimono on the originally empty right side, carrying a bowl and eating with extremely elegant movements.

"Miss Qianqianqianqianqianqianba! Why are you here?!"

Due to the excessive shock, Kinoshita Mai’s shouts were broken.

"Don't shout so loud, your ears will be deafened."

Sanako glanced at Mai Kinoshita indifferently, then calmly put the bowls and chopsticks in her hands back on the dining table.

"Miss Kinoshita, your question is really interesting. This is our home, why can't I be here?"

"Me, me, me, my, our home?!"

"What? Are you acting stupid early in the morning? Have you slept too much recently, so are you stupid? Miss Kinoshita, you are very strange today. Not only did you say some strange words, but you also didn't show respect to me, the principal wife of the family.

language."

"Main wife?"

Kinoshita Mai's chin fell straight down, as if it was about to fall to the ground.

"Why are you showing such an expression? As Mr. Tachibana's concubine, isn't it a natural thing for you to take the initiative to greet me, the principal wife, and use honorifics?"

At this time, Qingdeng suddenly interrupted:

"Miss Sanako."

Qingden said helplessly to Sanako:

"Don't be so harsh on Ah Wu, we are all family."

"It's because we are all a family that we have to be so strict with Miss Kinoshita."

Sanako said seriously.

"We cannot forget the most basic order and etiquette for the reason that we are all one family. If order and etiquette are lost, will this family still feel like a family?"

"That's true...but on occasions like eating, everyone should try to relax and be at ease. If you have to put on airs even while eating, it would be a bit too tiring."

Qingteng and Sanako exchanged words with each other, and they were having a great time chatting.

And I am like an outsider, unable to get in the conversation at all...

This is not what makes Kinoshita Mai feel the most uncomfortable.

What made Kinoshita Mai even more sad were those two words:

Main room... side room... main room... side room... main room... side room...

These two words echoed repeatedly in Kinoshita Mai's mind...

"Why am I the side room?! I don't want it! I don't want it, I don't want it!"

Kinoshita Mai subconsciously shouted this sentence to the man and woman in front of her who were still chatting animatedly.

And at this moment, Kinoshita Mai suddenly felt as if the tatami under her butt disappeared, her body fell straight to the ground, and her body was surrounded by a thick darkness.

And then... Kinoshita Mai saw the familiar ceiling.

"Huh……?"

Kinoshita Mai blinked her eyes a few times in confusion, then looked around her.

Familiar windows.

Familiar bedding.

Familiar tatami.

Familiar room layout.

It was my own bedroom...everything in the room was dyed dark by the night.

"Am I...dreaming...?"

Kinoshita Mai stretched out her hands and touched her smooth face to confirm the touch of her face and hands.

After repeatedly confirming that what she had just seen was a real dream, Kinoshita let out a long "breath" of relief and exhaled all the remaining air in her lungs.

"Great...it's just a dream..."

As soon as this emotion came out, Kinoshita Mai's expression suddenly became startled.

Immediately afterwards, she raised her hands to cover her face, and then twisted vigorously in the bed.
