Chapter 321: Karuizawa in August (16)

When I came back from the horse farm, it was earlier than usual. The villa was so quiet that no one was awake.

Toru Watanabe walked lightly back to the bedroom.

On the big, soft bed, Kujo Miki was sleeping soundly.

She only slept on the right side of the bed, and even though Watanabe Toru, who originally slept on the left side, was gone, her body still remained where she belonged.

When the two of them first got together last year, Miss Kujo Miki, who was used to having the big bed all to herself, often pushed Watanabe Toru to the edge of the bed.

Sometimes, because she ran over by herself, Watanabe Toru would press on her hair, and he would use this opportunity to let someone sleep under the bed.

The two people at that time, one said "When I become powerful, I will destroy the Kujo family", and the other said "If you dare to disobey my orders, I will kill you now", but at night they slept in the same bed and did the most intimate things.

All these past emotions, pain, hatred, and entanglement have now become irreplaceable memories.

They would occasionally talk about it while lying in bed, and would make fun of each other and settle scores later.

Toru Watanabe took off his clothes and got under the quilt.

The moment he lay down, he reached out and hugged Kujo Miki's warm body, making them press tightly together.

Miki Kujo moved in his arms. Even though they were already close to each other, she still wanted to lean closer to him.

"Are you back?" she whispered.

"Yes. I have something to report to Sister Meiji."

Kujo Miki didn't say anything, so Watanabe Toru continued, "I picked some mountain lilies for Mr. Koizumi and had someone deliver them to him."

Miki Kujo raised her head without opening her eyes, as if she was about to leave his arms.

Toru Watanabe used a little force and hugged her back.

"She's here for training for the past three days. I won't date her, I can only send her flowers."

"What about me? What did you pick for me?"

"without."

Miki Kujo was about to leave Toru Watanabe again, and Toru Watanabe hugged her beautiful body again, while raising his left leg and hooking her snow-white and delicate legs.

Miss Kujo became a cuddling pillow.

Watanabe Toru sighed with satisfaction and said, "As long as I hold Kujo Miki like this, Watanabe Toru will be happy."

"Then why are you picking flowers for other women?" Kujo Miki said harshly, while hooking her hands tightly around his neck.

Her soft touch pressed against Watanabe Toru's chest.

"Morning exercise."

“Why don’t you pick it for me?”

"I haven't seen Mr. Koizumi for a long time. We sleep together every day."

"Because we sleep together every day, you are too lazy to comfort me?"

"I coaxed you the most, and I've already told you that Watanabe Toru will feel happy when he hugs Kujo Miki."

"How happy?"

"The boat pulls into the harbor and the birds begin to return to their nests at sunset. It's such a blessing."

"Hmm..." Kujo Miki made a satisfied sound, "Me too."

"He sleeps with me every day, so he doesn't care about me. He just perfunctorily says 'me too'."

"Hmm?" Miki Kujo opened her eyes.

"I was wrong." Toru Watanabe hugged her shoulders affectionately, and Miki Kujo closed her eyes again in his arms.

Toru Watanabe stared at her face for a long time.

When Kujo Miki was about to fall asleep, he said, "No matter how long or how many times you look at me, I am still as beautiful as ever."

"How beautiful?"

"Either time stops here, or I take you with me wherever I go."

"You said the same thing to them?"

"I have something to tell you in secret, don't tell anyone."

"Um."

Watanabe Toru leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I love you the most."

"So this is a secret," said Miss Kujo in a pretentious tone, "I thought it was a matter of course."

"Of course, it's a matter of course." Watanabe Toru immediately changed his words.

"What about Kiyono Rin?"

"You want to talk about her in bed?"

"I allow it."

"…I loved her."

"Then what?" asked Miki Kujo leisurely.

"I love her just as much now."

"I will kill you." After saying this, Kujo Miki did not make any move, and did not even pretend to leave Watanabe Toru's arms.

"I like to lie, but after the family camping trip, I decided to be honest." Watanabe Toru added, "At least to you, I will tell you everything."

"You're fantasizing about her joining in, right? The future my mother talked about."

"To say I don't want to at all is unless I have no normal desires, but like I said, I am also just a gear and cannot decide your life."

"You'd better lie to me from now on."

"oh."

"Um?"

"...Sister, you are so bad." Watanabe Toru applied a little more force, and the two of them once again felt the warmth of their bodies pressed against each other.

The two of them stopped talking for a while, quietly enjoying each other's body temperature.

After a while, Watanabe Toru said, "Your mother thinks that you two can accept such a future. What do you actually think?"

"Don't even think about it." Kujo Miki said without hesitation.

"Well, I don't want to."

Toru Watanabe lay motionless, hugging her young and voluptuous body, reveling in the warmth of her skin.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, Kujo Miki's voice, which sounded somewhat distant, rang in his arms.

"If it was like this every year, I could accept it," she said.

Toru Watanabe felt that he should be very happy now. After all, the thing he wanted to do most was half completed.

But at this moment, all he had in his heart was infinite love for Kujo Miki.

"We don't owe each other anything," he said. "You don't have to put yourself in a difficult position. If I do something wrong to you again, you can just kill me."

"Really?" asked Miki Kujo softly.

"Well, but there is one condition. If you want to kill me, I want us to die together. You are mine for the rest of your life, and I must take you with me wherever I go."

Miki Kujo propped herself up slightly, revealing her snow-white, fragrant shoulders.

Her charming eyes stared quietly at Watanabe Toru.

"Don't get me wrong!" Watanabe Toru laughed, "This is not a threat, I really think so. It doesn't even matter whether I love you or not, you are mine, and only mine..."

"I know." Kujo Miki laughed, "I've always thought so."

The two smiled at each other, their hearts touching.

"Two people with such terrible possessiveness will fall in love with each other in the end no matter how much they torture each other." Toru Watanabe hugged her back in his arms and covered her with the quilt.

"Now do you know how much I love you? Your possessiveness is so strong, yet I still let you support two lovers." Of course, Kujo Miki is the kind of person who would never admit that she owes someone anything if she can avoid it.

"Uh-huh."

"That's not enough." Kujo Miki sneered, "A lifetime is too long. I have a feeling that something will happen to you and Kiyono Rin sooner or later."

"How could that be? You can just kill me then."

"Are you sure you won't?"

"Of course..." Toru Watanabe thought of the night when the Milky Way seemed to be pouring down over the Pacific Ocean.

Seeing his hesitant expression, Kujo Miki snorted coldly.

"Then you can kill me then." Watanabe Toru said sincerely.

"When that time comes, the three of us will definitely die together. If that's the case, why don't we live together?"

Watanabe Toru was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"I want you to owe me." Kujo Miki said, "If you can make Kiyono Rin apologize to me, I will allow her to be with you and be your lover."

“…Is this possible?”

"It's not your business." Kujo Miki said in a relaxed tone, "Anyway, you owe it to me now."

"As for your reconciliation, I have a solution that I can try for now, but my love... you are willing, but Qing Ye Lin is not."

"Yeah, she definitely wasn't happy about it, but she must have had the same feeling as I did, that the three of them would definitely be together."

"Why don't I have any?"

"You really didn't?"

“Really…”

Seeing Toru Watanabe who was so happy that he couldn't control his smile, Miki Kujo pinched him hard.

"Really? I'm not lying to you." Watanabe Toru quickly dodged, "Kiyono Rin is so stubborn. Even if she agrees to be together, she won't allow us to be lovers."

"Yes, we will fight about it then, but remember," Kujo Miki said with a smile, "you owe me now."

"You bad woman." Watanabe Toru hugged her slender and tight waist, "You made Qing Ye Lin apologize, made Qing Ye Lin become your lover, using such difficult conditions, something that is almost impossible to accomplish, and made me owe you."

"If I didn't want to make my mother worry anymore, and if I didn't want Aunt Youzi to worry about the succession of the Kiyono family, I wouldn't even agree to this."

"I thought you loved me, and you were still thinking about Kiyono Rin."

“That’s certainly the main reason.”

"It turns out that you really care about Kiyono Rin in your heart." Watanabe Toru said with a smile.

"I'm warning you, let's just talk about this in bed. If you dare to tell anyone, I'll divorce you when we return to Tokyo."

"Not married yet, sister."

In response to Watanabe Toru's playful smile, Kujo Miki said with a smile:

"If you dare tell anyone, I will call those two women and tell them that you said you loved me the most, and you were with them only because..."

"Wait! If we love each other, we shouldn't torture each other!"

"It depends on your performance."

"Of course I performed well. Come on, lift your legs. Everything that belongs to Watanabe-kun belongs to Sister Meiji."

"Get away!" Miki Kujo pulled out a pillow and covered Watanabe Toru's face with it.

Toru Watanabe took away the pillow, turned over and sat up, pulled her beautiful legs over and placed them on both sides of his waist.

Miki Kujo was lying on the bed, her long hair, as beautiful and gorgeous as the night, spread out on the big white bed and hung down on the edge of the bed.

At half past eight, they took a shower and got up.

"What's going on today?" Mrs. Kujo looked at the two people coming down from upstairs.

This time is too late for Toru Watanabe and too early for Miki Kujo.

"Ah~~" Miki Kujo yawned and stretched comfortably, looking like she was lazy after getting enough sleep.

"Did you get enough sleep or not?" Mrs. Qingye asked curiously.

"I didn't get enough sleep." Miki Kujo sat down at the dining table.

"Then why don't you sleep a little longer?" Kujo Maki was worried about her daughter.

"I was getting ready to go to bed, but Watanabe insisted that I get up and have breakfast before going back to sleep." Kujo Miki complained.

"You are the only one who dares to wake up , Watanabe-kun." Mrs. Kujo was full of admiration.

"I woke up a long time ago." said Toru Watanabe.

"You woke up so early? What have you been doing?" Mrs. Kujo asked maliciously.

"It's something that can't be told to anyone else," said Toru Watanabe.

"Oh?" Mrs. Kiyono looked at Kujo Miki.

"Yes." Miki Kujo smiled and tore off a piece of bread and put it into her mouth.

…

While the two were having breakfast, Qingye Rin walked in from the villa terrace with a book in her hand, bringing with her the morning light and fresh air.

"I'm going to the concert hall. Do you want to go?" she asked Toru Watanabe.

"Go." Watanabe Toru nodded, "Meiji, are you going?"

Kujo Miki waved her hand and said, "I'll go back to sleep ."

"Ah," Kiyono Rin laughed, "You actually dared to leave me alone with Watanabe-san. I have to admire your courage, Kujo-san."

Miki Kujo turned her head to look at her, smiled, and said nothing.

Kiyono Rin put away her smile and looked at Watanabe Toru.

"When you saw Miki's smile, Kiyono-san, did you remember something?" Watanabe Toru pondered.

"What?"

"Last year, after you went to the bathroom, I told you that you were not cute at all because of the smile you showed."

"Going to the bathroom? Cute?" Mrs. Kiyono looked at the two of them.

"It's not such an ambiguous past." Qing Ye Lin explained, and then said to Watanabe Toru, "You mean, she doesn't take my words seriously?"

"So you didn't take my words seriously at the beginning?" Watanabe Toru was shocked.

"Watanabe-san, I hope you can be self-aware, and also, please be moderate in your jokes..." Kiyono Rin pressed her temple with her left hand that was not holding the book, and said in a tone of great headache.

"You are also self-aware." Miki Kujo was in a good mood and put another bite of salad into her mouth with her knife and fork.

Qingye Rin put down his hand and his face turned cold.

"I'm done eating, let's go!" Watanabe Toru put down his cutlery, wiped his mouth, and stood up.

"Don't come crying and beg me if you lose." Qingno Rin finally glanced at Kujo Miki.

After the two men left, Mrs. Kujo asked her daughter, "Are you really going to leave them alone?"

"I want to sleep, what can I do?" Miki Kujo put down her knife and fork and stretched.

"You can let Watanabe stay."

"Maki!" Kiyono Yuuko said unhappily, "Didn't you agree not to interfere in their relationship?"

"That day on the Chunyu balcony, when that kid named Mai came over, didn't you also instigate the conflict between Miki and Watanabe?" Mrs. Kujo hit back.

"That doesn't count. You've already committed a foul."

"Yours doesn't count, mine does. What kind of rule is this?"

"Don't you also run away on horseback?"

"We are talking about children's emotions, why are we talking about horse riding?"

"Did you follow the rules?"

"You two can stop arguing." Kujo Miki stood up, "I'm going to sleep."

…

Toru Watanabe and Rin Kiyono rode their bicycles through the sunny forest.

"What book?" Toru Watanabe glanced at the hardcover books in her cart basket.

Kiyono Rin let go of the car handle with her left hand, picked up the book, and turned the cover towards Watanabe Toru.

Watanabe glanced at the title of the book: "What is it about? About cats?"

"No." Qing Ye Lin put the book back into the basket. "The boy killed the villa's hostess and finally deceived the police."
