Chapter 256 Madam: Can you promise me one thing?
"Um...Iori, is she gone?"

Amemiya Mido panted slightly and quietly poked her head out from under the quilt between Shimizu Mi's legs, her eyes filled with shyness and uneasiness.

"left already."

Shimizu nodded slightly to Amemiya Midori, trying to make his voice sound more natural.

"Ah, I almost thought I was going to suffocate in there."

As the footsteps outside the door gradually faded away, Amemiya Mido finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then her cheeks blushed and she looked at Shimizu Ken shyly.

Shimizu Mi immediately realized that the two of them were in a rather awkward position at the moment.

"I'm sorry, Aunt Amamiya..."

"Why should I apologize? If I have to say something, it's because I didn't knock on the door at the beginning. It was not good for me to break in without permission..." There was a slight apology on Amemiya Mido's face.

"However, fortunately, Iori didn't find out. If that kid had found out, he would probably have misunderstood."

Indeed, if Amemiya Iori saw Shimizu Mizuki without clothes in the same room with Amemiya Mido, with her wild imagination, she might really make up some messy things in her mind, and then some misunderstanding might arise.

Although I could spend some time explaining it to her, it is better to have less trouble than more.

Amemiya Midori sighed with relief, as if she had survived a disaster.

But the hot air seemed to have encountered some obstacle and failed to spread forward successfully.

Amemiya Mido noticed something was wrong, and her eyes slowly moved down from Shimizu Ken's face and found a bulge somewhere.

"..."

"..."

Inside the room, Shimizu Mi and Amemiya Midori looked at each other and turned their heads away tacitly.

Silence, like a delicate veil, quietly covers the entire room, and even the air becomes subtle and sensitive.

After a moment of silence, Amemiya Midoriya tried to break the tranquility.

"Seeing a boy of this age, he is really energetic."

Amemiya Mido's eyes flickered, and her trembling voice was slightly shy, as if she was looking for the right words to cover up her inner panic and hesitation.

"..."

Shimizu Mi had no way to respond to Amemiya Mido's words, because even though it was a part of his body, any man would understand that sometimes this aspect really cannot be controlled, especially in the morning when he just woke up.

Although normally things would return to normal after a while, the abnormal phenomenon today was particularly strong.

Moreover, the person in front of him is Amamiya Iori's mother, and behavior like this can almost be equated with hooliganism.

After a long silence, Qing Shuijian could only say "sorry".

"It's okay, this is normal for boys. After all, I can still understand this kind of thing."

Girls of Amamiya Mido's age can still understand the common sense of men, so she also knows that this is not Shimizu Mi's fault.

But I haven't seen such a big scene for a long time, so even though I know Qingshui Jian didn't mean it, I still feel a little embarrassed.

"This... is it really because of Iori?"

Amemiya Midu, who was under the quilt, secretly glanced at that place.

"..."

The question that Amemiya Mido suddenly asked was far beyond Shimizu's thinking ability, leaving him speechless for a moment.

Seeing Shimizu Ken who was slightly stunned, Amamiya Mido immediately realized that she had just said something wrong, and quickly changed the topic to save the situation: "Sorry, I suddenly asked a strange question, just pretend you didn't hear it, don't take it to heart..."

"I know. Anyway, Aunt Amamiya, please come out first."

In this kind of weather, hiding in the bed, not to mention Amemiya Midori, even Shimizu Mi would almost be suffocated by the heat.

"Ah... that's true."

Amemiya Mido was about to get up, but something went against her will.

There was a slight noise outside the door, followed by the crisp sound of the door lock being opened.

This might be the fastest reaction of Shimizu Mi. Almost at the moment the door was opened, Shimizu Mi reached out his hand in an instant and pushed back Amamiya Midori, who was about to get up from the quilt, and covered her with the quilt at the same time.

The person who walked in was, as expected, Amamiya Iori who had returned to the room again.

Qingshuijian's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

Could it be that she discovered something?
If they were caught changing clothes just now, it could be explained clearly, but if someone saw the two of them in bed at this moment, I'm afraid they would never be able to wash themselves clean even if they jumped into any river.

"Iori, what are you doing?"

"Honey, I'm sorry, I think I put some sugar in the coffee I gave you just now. Honey, you don't like sweet things, so I thought of making you a new cup."

Amemiya Iori walked closer and saw that the coffee was placed on the bedside cabinet by Shimizu, and he hadn't touched a single sip.

"It's okay, just a little bit is fine, no need to make such a fuss."

Qingshuijian picked up the coffee and took a sip quickly.

Although it was indeed a bit sweet, if he changed the cup, Amamiya Iori would have to come in again, and Shimizu Mi's heart could not bear such a scare again.

However, such behavior also attracted the attention of Amamiya Iori.

"My dear, what are you doing..."

Amemiya Iori looked at Shimizu's hand hidden in the quilt and the part that seemed to be bulging under the quilt, and cast a suspicious look at him.

Because of the previous phenomenon, Amemiya Mi was unable to completely lower her head under the quilt, so from the outside, it seemed that the quilt between Shimizu Mi's legs was obviously bulging a little.

"Um...I was just changing my underwear."

Qing Shuijian couldn't find a better reason, so he could only say this casually.

"Change your underwear? There's no need to do that. It would be better to just do it openly."

As he spoke, Amamiya Iori reached out towards the quilt, as if he wanted to lift it up and take a look.

Of course, Shimizu Ken would never let her do that. If she really lifted the lid and saw Amamiya Midori inside, he couldn't imagine what expression Amamiya Iori would have.

Therefore, Shimizu Michi hurriedly grabbed Amemiya Iori's hand and stopped her.

"Honey?"

"Iori...I'm a little uncomfortable right now."

"Not convenient?"

Amamiya Iori showed a confused expression, frowned slightly, and thought for a while.

After a moment, her eyes unconsciously widened a little, and a slightly shy expression appeared on her face.

"Really? Honey, you just said you didn't get enough rest, but you're still so energetic."

It seemed that Amemiya Iori was thinking in some strange direction, but Shimizu Mi could only smile awkwardly.

"Dear, just tell me. I can still help with this kind of thing."

"No, that's not necessary..."

Of course, Shimizu Michi understood Amemiya Iori's good intentions, but considering that Amemiya Mido was hiding under the bedding, Shimizu Michi could only accept this kindness in his heart.

"Well...that's right. It's the weekend and my mom is at home. It would be bad if she found out."

"But, dear, if you really feel uncomfortable, you can always tell me."

Being looked at by Amamiya Iori's gentle gaze, Shimizu nodded gently: "Hmm..."

Then, Amamiya Iori seemed to have thought of something.

"Ah, the bread in the kitchen seems to be over-baked. Dear, remember to get up quickly after you change your clothes." After explaining this to Shimizu Mi, Amamiya Iori hurriedly got up and ran out.

After confirming that Amemiya Iori had left, Shimizu felt his heart slowly settle down. He let out a light breath and lifted the quilt.

As a result, the moment he lifted the quilt, Qingshuijian received a slightly resentful look.

Amemiya Mido poked her head out from under the quilt and looked at Shimizu Mi with a somewhat complaining look.

Because the incident happened suddenly, Shimizu pressed the back of Amamiya Mido's head in a hurry and pushed her back, probably hurting her accidentally.

"Sorry, does it hurt you?"

Amemiya Mido's long hair, which was originally tied behind her head, became a little messy. Qingshui Jian subconsciously reached out to help her gently move away a strand of hair hanging in front of her forehead.

"No, that's not the case. It was just a little too sudden."

Perhaps because she had been covered under the quilt for too long, Amemiya Mido's cheeks suddenly turned an alarming red, but she did not blame Shimizu Ken too much.

"Anyway, it was all my fault for not thinking it through."

"It's okay. If Iori finds you in that state, it will be even more troublesome."

It was great that Amemiya Midori could understand this, and Shimizu Mi felt a little relieved.

"But speaking of which, has Jian's figure always been this good?"

Amemiya Mido seemed to be childish and curious, and gently poked Shimizu Mi's abdominal muscles.

"...Aunt Amamiya?"

"Ah, sorry..."

Amemiya Mido immediately realized that her behavior was inappropriate and quickly pulled her hand back.

Although the movement was not large, for Shimizu on the opposite side, the circumference was definitely not small.

To be honest, Amemiya Mi is worthy of being Amemiya Iori's mother. Although she is already in her thirties, her figure is much better than those young girls.

Especially since she was at home today on the weekend, she was only wearing a loose vest on her upper body. From Qingmizu's bird's-eye view, she could clearly see the majestic mountains that were about to appear.

Poor little vest, its small body has to bear such great pressure.

Even if Shimizu didn't intend to stare at it, he would inevitably see the deep ravine, and it would rise and fall with Amamiya Midori's breathing.

I don't know whether to say that she had no sense of vigilance or was too slow, because Amemiya Mido's body was almost overlapping with Shimizu Mi's, so the two peaks happened to press on Shimizu Mi's thighs.

Although it looks extremely spectacular, when the pressure comes, it is not as heavy as imagined.

Yes, it's only as soft as marshmallows.

Although Shimizu Miki didn't mind using his thighs to support her, the situation would be difficult to resolve if Amamiya Iori attacked again later.

Shimizu Ken was just about to ask Amemiya Mido to come out quickly, but Amemiya Mido suddenly put her hands on Shimizu Ken's thighs, using them to support herself and slowly stood up until she was at the same height as Shimizu Ken.

Before Qing Shuijian could speak, Amamiya Mito bit her lower lip lightly and spoke:

"It may be a bit willful to say this...but see, can you promise your aunt one thing?"

Amemiya Mido's words made Shimizu feel as if an electric current was running through his scalp. Although he wanted to respond, his throat was inexplicably tense and he couldn't make a sound. In the end, he could only nod in response.

"In fact, just now, I suddenly understood why Iori likes you so much."

"..."

Qing Shuijian still couldn't make a sound.

"Because meeting this person really gives people a sense of security."

Amemiya Midori tucked a few strands of hair behind her ears, and then re-tied her long black hair which was a little messy just now.

"……sense of security?"

Looking at Amemiya Midori with her hair tied up in front of her, Shimizu Mi had a hard time squeezing out these few words.

"Well, as a man, it may be difficult for you to understand this, but it is definitely not a bad thing."

Looking into Shimizumi's eyes, a faint smile appeared on Amamiya Midori's face.

"Because for women, a man who can give them a sense of security is very important, like a safe haven, allowing them to find support in this precarious world."

Shimizumi listened carefully to every word of Amemiya Mido.

For her, there is probably really no one around her who can be relied on.

For so many years, one person raised Amamiya Iori alone. No matter how many times Shimizu Mi imagined it, the hardships and sadness involved and how difficult the journey was, these were all known only to Amamiya Midoriya herself.

It's like when the other person is sick, no matter how much you stay by her side and care for her, you can't share even a little bit of her pain.

What's more, Amamiya Mido in front of him doesn't even have anyone he can truly rely on.

"So, can you promise me one thing?"

Qing Shuijian nodded slightly.

At first, he thought Amemiya Mido wanted him to treat Amemiya Iori well, take good care of her, and give her the sense of security she needed, but in fact it was just the opposite.

"Promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you will take good care of yourself."

"Eh?"

"Although he looks a lot like your father, I don't want to see him get hurt, and I don't want to see you become like him..."

At some point, Amemiya Mido's hand gently covered Shimizu Mi's cheek.

The gentle touch and soft words seemed to touch a string deep in Shimizu's brain, causing him to embrace Amemiya Midori in his arms.

"Ah...see?!"

Shimizu Mi did not make any special reaction to Amemiya Midori's panic. He just hugged her and said nothing.

Shimizu hugged her tightly, but Amemiya Miu didn't put up much resistance.

After a while, Amemiya Mido quickly calmed down and gently put her arms around Shimizu's waist.

Amemiya Mido's body was very soft, and holding her felt like holding a light cloud, but Shimizu Mi did not do anything unnecessary.

"Although they are very similar, they are still different..."

Shimizu heard Amemiya Mido's subtle voice in his ear. Although he couldn't see her expression, she seemed to be smiling.

"What?"

"That is to say, seeing is seeing."

After briefly saying this thought-provoking sentence, Amemiya Mido let go of Shimizu Mi's hand and left his arms.

Shimizu looked at her with some confusion, but the moment their eyes met, Amemiya Mido immediately turned her face away and quickly looked away.

Without saying a word, but looking at Amemiya Mido's slightly red ears, there seemed to be an atmosphere in the air that even Shimizu Mi could hardly describe.

……

……

After that, Amamiya Mido left the room.

Feeling his body temperature gradually disappearing, Qingshui Jian quickly got up from the bed, changed his clothes, and went to the living room to eat something.

Because he got up a little late today, after Shimizu helped with the cleaning at Amemiya Iori's house, time had unknowingly come to evening.

As night fell, Shimizu went back home and said hello to Hoshino Akiko, saying that he might be back late today.

Then, before the agreed time, he set off to the place where he had made an appointment with Sakurai Haruka.
