Chapter 28 Do you like him/her?
Maybe Amamiya Iori doesn't want to be with Kondo Yuichi at all,
Perhaps she was just constrained by her "personality" and unable to choose her own destiny.
Maybe I have been doing it wrong all along...

This thought prompted Shimizu to reach out and place his hand on Amemiya Iori's head, wanting to ask her what was going on.

"Honey?"

Amamiya Iori tilted his head in confusion.

Shimizu looked serious and said, "Iori, I have something very important to ask you."

"Important...important thing?"

Amemiya Iori suddenly became serious, pricked up his little ears obediently, and stared at Shimizu Mi's eyes very attentively.

Shimizu Miyabi also looked directly into Amamiya Iori's eyes.

The two of them stared at each other, and she actually...

Blushed……

Amemiya Iori was fiddling with her two index fingers in an bashful manner, looking extremely adorable, and no one knew what she was expecting in her heart.

"Iori, have you ever thought about what kind of person you want to be in the future?"

Hearing this, Amamiya Iori replied without hesitation: "Wife! Become a dear wife! A wife who is gentle, virtuous and capable from the bottom of my heart! Shimizu Iori!"

The corners of Amamiya Iori's mouth slightly raised, and with one hand on his waist, he said with a bit of pride and shyness: "I... I am really looking forward to the day when I change my last name to Shimizu!"

In the Land of Sakura, after marrying a man, Sakura girls have to change their surname to their husband's.

After saying this, the blush on Amamiya Iori's pretty face deepened a lot.

The completely expected answer made Qing Shuijian twitch his lips, and then continued to ask: "Besides being my wife, have you never thought about what kind of person you want to be?"

"..."

Amemiya Iori seemed to be stumped by the question, and stared at Shimizu Ken in a daze.

Come to think of it, how could a person whose future was arranged since childhood, who was supposed to marry her childhood sweetheart and be a housewife when she grew up, be able to answer such a question?

After a while, Amamiya Iori muttered in annoyance: "Dear, I... I don't think this is important. For me, what's important is..."

Shimizu interrupted directly: "Iori, listen, this is very important! No, it is very important!"

"what?"

"I don't want to see a pale and monotonous Amamiya Iori who lives only for Shimizu."

Amamiya Iori's face changed slightly, and he was silent for a while: "But dear, I have never thought about this kind of thing. I have always just wanted to be your wife and give birth to at least five children in the future. Other things... I have never thought about it."

Five children? Is this preparing to play for the national football team?
Even Qing Shuijian was a little surprised. Was this thinking too far?

After a moment, Shimizu thought for a moment and said, "Iori, let me ask you, if I hadn't gone to the park that evening, and you hadn't met me, and we didn't know each other at all, and your life and mine had no intersection at all, then what would you want to do, and what kind of person would you want to be..."

He had just said this when Amamiya Iori interrupted: "Then I might have died... a long time ago."

"!!!"

Shimizu looked at her in disbelief: "Iori, you?!"

Amamiya Iori turned his face slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a calm tone: "Dear, I have thought about suicide more than once, because I feel too much pressure, no freedom, no right to choose, and no way to change..."

"..."

"But fortunately I met my dear that day, so to me, my dear is really a very, very, very special person!"

Amamiya Iori continued, "If it weren't for that, I might have already... So I can never think about what would happen without my dear." "Because my dear is very important to me, I can have nothing, but I absolutely cannot live without my dear!"

When Amamiya Iori finished speaking, her tone was unquestionable and very firm and resolute!
So, Shimizu now only has one last question.

A very stupid, even obvious question, but he had to confirm it himself.

"Do you like Yuichi?"

……

"However, Amamiya-san is indeed a strong enemy. Childhood friends are too troublesome!"

During lunch break in the student council room, Kondo Yuichi and President Kotone are enjoying their bento.

The time they were alone together made his heart beat faster, but Amamiya Iori was always in his heart.

"For me, Kondo Yuichi, Iori is a very important childhood friend."

Ever since Kondo Yuichi was old enough to understand, he and Amamiya Iori have been together, and the relationship between the two families is very good.

"Iori!"

"Yuichi!"

When we were young, it was normal for us to call each other by name or visit each other’s homes. The relationship between the two families was very good, so we still visit each other’s homes today.

Amemiya Iori has become a part of Kondo Yuichi's daily life, and the time spent with her can be said to be Kondo Yuichi's greatest happiness.

Amemiya Iori has been by his side since childhood, and nothing has changed even now that he is a second year of high school.

[Yuichi and Iori are really a good match! ]

[Yeah, yeah! My brother and Iori-san will definitely get married! ]

Kondo Yuichi's mother and sister have often said this since he was a child.

Because he is very shy, he hopes that they will not say such things in front of him, but his sister still says this often.

Kondo Yuichi couldn't help but laugh when he thought about Amamiya Iori and his family.

Because he suddenly laughed, Ayase Kotone looked at him with strange eyes, and Kondo Yuichi cleared his throat and pretended nothing was wrong.

The smiling face of Amemiya Iori has become an unforgettable treasure for Kondo Yuichi.

"Although others may laugh at me for saying this, our relationship is recognized by each other's parents after all."

Kondo Yuichi has always hoped that one day Amamiya Iori will understand his feelings.

Amamiya Iori always stayed by his side with a smile and never looked down on him... He firmly believed that his feelings would be understood by her one day. There would be no problem.

"See, I hope you will support me and Amamiya Iori."

Kondo Yuichi said this a long time ago, and Shimizu agreed with it.

"One day when I really marry Iori, I still hope that Jian can go on stage and give a speech as my friend's representative."

Kondo Yuichi thought so sincerely.

"I will definitely... unite with Iori."

Although he was a little embarrassed to say it, Kondo Yuichi had such an intuition.
