"Going out for fun? Where to go?"

"Well...you can go wherever you want. I'll have a lot of fun with you today. I just think I'm apologizing for neglecting you because I've been busy with official duties and trivial matters recently."

As soon as these words came out, the emotional look on Kinoshita Wu's face suddenly disappeared.

"Then, then...then it's settled...don't go back on your word!"

After finishing speaking, Kinoshita Mai blinked hesitantly.

This look of hesitation went away just as quickly as it came.

After a while, Kinoshita Mai seemed to have made some kind of determination and took a deep breath.

Next, she made a very bold move - she pulled the catkins out of Qingdeng's palms, and at the same time stood on tiptoes, her newly "liberated" hands wrapped around Qingdeng's neck, and covered her whole body

The weight fell on Qingdeng.

"Hehe~~"

Qingdeng's ears were surrounded by a soft and pleasant breath and a string of silly giggles.

"Ha ha……"

Qingden chuckled a few times unconsciously, and hugged Kinoshita Mai with his backhand.

As for what kind of relationship he has with Mai Kinoshita now... it's hard for Qingto to explain why.

If I had to describe it to Aoto... the relationship between him and Mai Kinoshita is probably "just one step away from becoming a formal couple".

Although Kinoshita Mai, like Zuo Nako, has clearly stated that she does not want her future husband to have another woman, Kinoshita Mai is different from Zuo Nako in that her ears are particularly soft and very easy to coax.

Zuo Nazi's personality is too strong. She wants to be first in everything and is unwilling to take a back seat. Ordinary sweet words cannot impress her at all.

Therefore, if Zuo Nazi is in a mood, Qingdeng really doesn't know how to coax her.

But Kinoshita Mai is different.

Whether she is dissatisfied or angry, no matter what her mood is, as long as you say a few pleasant words to her, her mood will immediately change.

To give a vivid example... Mai Kinoshita is one of those people who, after being played by a scumbag, will say, "He's not that bad. He just praised my cooking skills yesterday" while persistently defending the scumbag.

That kind of girl.

Kinoshita Mai's character... destined her to be unable to resist Qingto's pursuit.

Qingto spotted Kinoshita Mai's personality that she didn't understand rejection and had almost zero immunity to sweet words. He used this as a starting point to launch a fierce "offensive" against Kinoshita Mai.

The pursuit methods used by Qingdeng include but are not limited to:

Suddenly holding Mai Kinoshita's hand; suddenly hugging Mai Kinoshita; suddenly hugging Mai Kinoshita and praising her for looking good in her clothes today...

In a nutshell: use different tricks to make Kinoshita Mai get used to his presence; use different tricks to coax Kinoshita Mai.

And this girl really likes this!

If you are too gentle with her, she may not appreciate it.

Being a little rough with her will actually turn her off.

After confessing his love to Kinoshita Mai and Zonazi, Aomori officially began to pursue them.

In just three months from the formal pursuit to the present, Qingto witnessed with his own eyes how Kinoshita Mai "fell" step by step in his "offensive".

First, she was very resistant to his hand-holding, hugging and other physical contact, then she only offered symbolic resistance, and finally now... not only will she no longer resist, but she will actively embrace Qingdeng.

Except for the fact that they haven't kissed or done anything further yet, Aoto and Mai Kinoshita are now just like a couple.

It's a pity... Although Kinoshita Mai has a soft ear and a weak character, she has an extremely tough attitude on some principled issues and refuses to give in at all costs.

For example: Qingdeng is not allowed to touch her body.

Once, when Aoden and Kinoshita Mai were hugging each other, they were so in love that he unconsciously raised his hand, trying to measure Kinoshita Mai's development with his hands.

Here, Qingdeng must first make a defense: His behavior at that time was definitely not lustful! It was just a temporary obsession!

As a result, as soon as her hand was raised halfway, she was dodged by Kinoshita Mai.

The reasons she gave were impeccable, and Qingdeng couldn't find any room for argument: "Grandma told me that you have to wait until the wedding night to do this kind of thing..."

Another example: firmly objecting that she is not Qingdeng’s only wife.

In order to realize the dream of "living happily with the girls he loves deeply", Aonto worked tirelessly and used various methods such as direct explanations and insinuations to instill the rationality and legitimacy of his dream into Kinoshita Mai countless times.

greatness.

However... Kinoshita Mai was completely unmoved.

No matter what Aonto said or how he explained it, Kinoshita Mai had only one attitude -

"I don't want it, I don't want it! I am enough as Tachibana Aoden's wife! I don't want to share you with other women! Especially that Chiba Saunako!"

Maybe it was because they were love rivals, or maybe it was just a matter of simple incompatibility. Kinoshita Mai hated Zonako very much and often showed her explicit hostility towards Zonako in front of Qingto.

However, Kinoshita Mai's hatred for Zuo Nazi was not the kind of hatred that wished her bad luck soon, but a... feeling that was difficult to describe.

To put it simply, Kinoshita Mai looked at Zuo Nako... a bit like looking at a competitor whom she did not want to lose to at any cost.

All in all, when it comes to the issue of "whether Aoto can be embraced by both parties," Kinoshita Mai has always adopted a tough attitude of "resolutely opposed".

Qingdeng's dream of "getting along with all the girls in harmony and treating each other as guests" still has a long way to go...

There is no need to rush into this kind of problem. At this stage, we can only slowly develop a relationship with Kinoshita Mai.

Qingto and Mai Kinoshita hugged each other for a moment, until they were both touched by each other's body temperature and breath, and then they reluctantly lowered their arms.

"Ms. Kinoshita, did you buy new clothes?"

Qingto moved his gaze and looked at Kinoshita Mai from head to toe, his eyes filled with surprise.

"Hehe~ I was discovered by you."

Aoto discovered that the clothes she was wearing were new ones, which seemed to make Kinoshita Mai very happy.

The beaming Kinoshita Mai stretched out her hands and spun around twice.

"How is it? Does it look good? Does it suit me?"

Qingdeng nodded vigorously and said in a determined tone:

"Hmm! Very beautiful! It suits you very well!"

Although during the period of pursuing Kinoshita Mai, Qingnog took every opportunity to praise Kinoshita Mai for her beautiful clothes, beautiful feet, this and that, but his words were all sincere.

There is a saying: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Qingteng did not tell lies with open eyes just to make Kinoshita Mai happy. He sincerely felt that every part of Kinoshita Mai's body was beautiful, even if she was only wrapped in a ragged quilt, she was still charming.

Qingden Shicai's praise cannot be said to be perfunctory, but it is definitely not grand - but it is enough.

This level of praise was enough to keep Mai Kinoshita entertained for a long time.

"Hehe~Thank you~~I also think this dress suits me very well!"

Kinoshita Mai raised her hands to hold her face, which was rapidly reddening due to shyness.

Faintly, wisps of translucent steam can be seen floating from the top of its head.

She became a "steam girl".

"This is a new dress given to me by my grandma! So I like and cherish this dress very much!"

"Grandma?" Qingdeng raised his eyebrows.

——Kinoshita Rin...

Kinoshita Mai once mentioned to Qingto: Her grandmother's name is "Kinoshita Lin".

"Yes!" Kinoshita Mai nodded obediently, "This dress is a gift from grandma!"

Kinoshita Mai planned to come to Edo to visit her grandmother during the New Year this year, but she had to break her promise because she was busy with work. As compensation, she sent this red dress, which was absolutely valuable just by looking at the fabric and stitching, to Edo.

The whole process of the household was told in detail.

After listening, Qingdeng nodded:

"A Wu, when I hear you introduce your grandma, I always think she is a very scary person. I didn't expect her to be surprisingly gentle..."

"Grandma is usually very strict and scary, but I know: she is just cold-faced and warm-hearted! Her character is much gentler than she looks on the outside!"

After saying that, Kinoshita Mai showed a proud and happy expression.

——A Wu’s grandma...

Qingdeng took a long breath.

As long as Qingto still wants to marry Kinoshita Mai, then the family behind Kinoshita Mai will definitely become a existence that Qingto has to deal with.

Kinoshita Mai's grandmother was someone who would personally choose and give a new kimono to her granddaughter in order to apologize to her. After learning this information, Aonto couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

For Qingdeng, he is naturally happy to see that the woman's family members are all kind-hearted people who are easy to get along with.

Speaking of the woman's relatives... Qingdeng raised his head and glanced around him.

"Awu, where is Boss Kiryu? Is he out?"
