The scroll turns to late August, the end of summer, when apricots are ripe.

On the last day of August, in a mansion in Tokyo, the new wife of the Gojo family gave birth to a daughter for the young head of the family.

The elders were a little disappointed about this, but they soon consoled themselves - it was nothing, the head of the family and his wife were still young, and they would definitely give birth to a "young master" in the future.

But Gojo Satoru was so happy that Lu Qin thought his expression was a little silly.

Wu's father also came, and he was not disappointed that the child was a granddaughter. He just said that the child was good-looking and looked a lot like her grandmother who had passed away many years ago.

Lu Qin was really a little curious about Wu's mother...

What kind of woman is she?

Lu Qin only knew that this mother-in-law whom she had never met had always been in poor health, and she suffered from a chronic illness due to childbirth... and passed away very early.

But...she should be more than just a weak woman.

Gojo Rin has never remarried because of her, and Wu's father did not remarry after her death.

This mother-in-law must have been a very charismatic person. But strangely, the Gojo family's main house in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, doesn't seem to have many traces of this former mistress.

-------------------

I still remember that it was 8pm on August 31st. She felt that she was about to give birth. She had a very strong control and perception of her body.

As soon as she felt something, she asked the maid beside her to call a doctor.

The hospital has all the necessary equipment. The family doctor, doctors and nurses from the obstetrics department of Tokyo Women's Medical University have been living here for a month and a half to prepare for possible premature births.

The process went smoothly, except that the child she was shown was a little ugly—a newborn with red skin and a few wrinkles. She had light silver-white fluffy hair on her head. This attracted Lu Qin's attention.

It seems that he has the same hair color as his father.

?——————————————————————

In order to pretend to be "normal", Lu Qin stayed in bed for a while.

In fact, after the caesarean section, her wound healed very quickly. As long as she used her ability, it would only take a second.

She finally named the child "Apricot" - Gojo Apricot (五条杏ごあんず).

She liked the apricot trees in the yard very much.

They accompanied her throughout the summer.

These days, every time she closed her eyes, she could smell the fragrance of ripe apricots, sweet and sour.

The taste of apricots…the taste of summer.

Jing and Bai Ju also picked some apricots from the courtyard from time to time.

The fragrance of apricots is as strong as intoxicating, sweet and rich, with the passionate breath of summer. It is yellow, golden, and even a little red. ??

And she thinks apricot has a good meaning.

In the hearts of Chinese people, apricots are sacred. It is said that the place where Confucius taught was called "Xingtan". The homonym of "xing" is "xing", which also represents luck and beauty. When describing beauties, literati often use "almond eyes" or "almond face" to describe their beauty.

Just call her Xing...Five Xing.

Her little apricot.

-------------------

At night, the breeze blows gently, the cicadas sing like poetry, and the flowers and plants in the Japanese-style house are lush.

In the bedroom, Gojo Satoru looked at Xing in the cradle and suddenly said to Lu Qin, "The more I look at her, the cuter she is. How can she be so cute? Our little Xing must be the cutest child in the world."

Lu Qin feels that, apart from the "love filter" through which a father looks at his daughter, what Gojo Satoru said makes sense.

After growing for more than half a month, Wu Tiao Xing has indeed grown into a very cute little baby.

She is white and plump, with silver eyelashes and hair. If you are lucky, you can even see her open her eyes - see a pair of emerald green eyes.

There is an old saying in her past life in China: sons take after their mothers, and daughters take after their fathers. Gojo An's facial features are indeed quite similar to Gojo Satoru's.

But when Wu’s father came before, he said that Xing looked like her grandmother.

"What kind of person is Wujun's mother?" she asked.

Gojo Satoru, who was teasing the child, suddenly heard his wife's question. He looked up and said, "Ah? Why do you ask this suddenly? I don't have much impression. After all, she died when I was five years old. I only remember that she was very quiet, often sick, and seemed weak."

"That's it..."

PS:

Lu Ci: Xiaoqin, you don't listen to your great-grandfather again. I told you, curious people tend to...

------------------

Tokyo University started school in early September, and it was already late September. Suzuki Ayako and Tanaka Mie came to see her on the weekend.

Meihui was teasing Gojo Xing in the crib.

Ayako asked her, "So cute, Xiaoqin. What's the baby's name?"

"Xing," Lu Qin replied.

Meihui on the side teased Xing and said in a hoarse voice: "Oh~oh~oh, our baby Xing." As soon as Meihui teased Xing, Xing's little hands and feet moved vigorously.

"You're becoming more and more like a weird aunt, Mihui," Ayako teased.

"Ah! Ayako! You actually said that!" Meihui immediately became angry.

Gojo Xing in the crib was staring at the two older sisters surrounding her, looking very happy.

"She sleeps a lot on weekdays. But when she's not sleeping, she stares at people. She likes to look at people and likes people talking to her. When her father teases her every day, she laughs so happily." Lu Qin said.

"This shows that our Xiao Xing is smart." Meihui said with a smile.

"Xiao Xing, please recognize us as your godmothers." Ayako took out a gift box and placed it on Xing's bed. "This is a gift for meeting you." (Inside was a super beautiful emerald gem, the same color as Xing's eyes)

"It's getting late, so stay for dinner. The new chef cooks pretty well." Lu Qin said.

Mihui and Ayako looked at the time and thought it was indeed too late to go out for dinner.

The lunch was indeed good, and there were many dishes that Ayako had never tried.

"This is... Chinese cuisine," said Ayako.

"Yes, two months ago my father hired a new chef from China, who was said to be proficient in Fujian and Zhejiang cuisine (1). I thought he cooked well, so I kept him."

"It's good. Much better than those Chinese restaurants in Yokohama Chinatown." Meihui said.
