[Comprehensive] Natsume Reiko's trip

Ge Ye slowly approached Qingming, and gently hugged his child, giving him a hug like Qingming had just returned home when he was a child.

"You have grown taller, and you have grown into a great man just like your father." Ge Ye was a little relieved that her child had grown up; but she was also a little melancholy, and the melancholy was that Qingming was growing up. , I was not able to accompany my children like other mothers.

"Father passed away many years ago." Seimei whispered.

Ge Ye let Qingming go, looked carefully at Qingming's grown-up face, and was not at all surprised by Qingming's words: "I know, he came to see me before he died."

Qingming opened his eyes slightly, and countless questions flashed through his mind.

Why didn't father take him with him when he came to see mother?

Does father still love mother?

What does mother think about what father has done these years?

Mother, was she sad about her father's death...?

"Don't ask anything." Ge Ye put her fair fingers on Qingming's lips, "This is the choice of Masaki-sama and I. We are very happy, and that's enough."

Not every love can last forever. For Ge Ye, who has a long life, as long as she once had it, it is enough for her to remember it for a lifetime.

After the joy of reunion slowly subsided, Ge Ye finally noticed Reiko who was watching quietly from the side.The moment he saw Reiko, Ge Ye understood the significance of Qingming bringing Reiko here.

There was a flash of worry in Ge Ye's eyes, but she quickly covered it up.She approached Lingzi kindly, and took Lingzi's hand: "Are you Seimei's wife? Thank you for taking care of my child for so many years."

"I, I'm not..." Reiko was unexpectedly embarrassed at this moment.

She has a character of being soft but not hard. No matter who dares to provoke her, she dares to punch back directly, but she has nothing to do with some weak or gentle beings.

But now, this woman whose body is as soft as water is Qingming's mother. She doesn't know how to respond, and can't leave directly. Reiko can only look to Qingming for help.

Seimei's eyes were tainted with a bit of a smile, as expected, one thing fell for another, he never thought that his mother would become Reiko's nemesis.

"Mother, we haven't developed to this point yet, she just came back with me to see you this time."

It hasn't developed to this point yet... Hearing Qingming's meaningful words, Ge Ye instantly understood what he meant.

Ge Ye and Qingming looked at each other, revealing fox-like cunning at the same time.

"I'm sorry, I'm so happy." Ge Ye let go of Reiko's hand, keeping the most comfortable distance for Reiko, "You must be tired after coming all the way, I'll cook, you guys have a good rest."

"Qingming, the layout of the house is exactly the same as before, do you still have any impression?"

Seimei nodded with a slightly complicated mood.

The wooden house in front of him is naturally not the one he lived in when he was a child. The house in his childhood was at the intersection of the forest, but this one is in the deepest part of the forest.

This wooden house must have been rebuilt by Ge Ye himself after returning here. Perhaps living in the same house, one can feel the same people.

While Ge Ye was busy in the kitchen, Seimei took Reiko to visit her childhood home.

"This is my father and mother's room." Seimei pointed to a larger room and explained.

The wooden house is small, but very delicate, and the wooden floor is neatly laid in the room, and it is wiped spotlessly.The quilts were stacked squarely on one side, looking very new and rarely used.

There is a vase by the window, which is empty, and it is difficult to find flowers in winter. Perhaps when spring comes, flowers will be inserted into the vase.

Seimei's room has the same layout as her parents' room, but it is smaller. There is also a brand new folded quilt by the wall. With the size of this small quilt, Qingming probably is not suitable at this time.

In addition, next to the small quilt, there is also a slightly faded quilt of a larger size - Ge Ye must spend the night in the Qingming room every night.

"Qingming, you must treat your mother better in the future." Reiko said softly.

"I know." Qingming's voice was a little low, but she quickly changed the subject, "Do you like my mother very much?"

Lingzi was a little embarrassed when she heard that: "Yes, I think Aunt Ge Ye is very powerful... Ah, Auntie is what we called in that era, and now it should be called 'Mrs.', but it always feels a little strange."

"You can call her what you like, mother won't mind this kind of thing." Qingming found Reiko's tangled look very interesting.

"Well, I think Aunt Ge Ye is very powerful, beautiful and gentle, and she can manage the housework in an orderly manner by herself." As she spoke, Reiko sniffed her nose, smelling the scent coming from the kitchen, and added, " The food must be delicious!"

"If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it no matter what. I'm not good at housework, I can't cook, and I'm not gentle at all..."

Every time Reiko said a word, the smile on Seimei’s face deepened: “It’s enough to have one like my mother, I prefer people who are different. Shikigami can help with housework and cooking, of course Reiko wants to If I eat the food I cook, I can also learn; compared to my mother who stays at home and waits every day, I would rather have someone standing by my side who can go forward with me."

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Reiko didn't understand, she was clearly discussing about Ge Ye, why the topic suddenly turned to herself.

"I'm saying, you're very good, Reiko, better than anyone else. So you don't need to change anything, I like this kind of Reiko very much." Seimei's overly eager eyes were about to burn on Reiko's face.

Reiko's heartbeat accelerated sharply, and the temperature on her face also rose sharply, but facing Seimei's "molestation", she still did not choose to evade, but bravely looked at the past: "Okay, I want to eat what you made , when can you learn how to cook for me?"

The unexpected reply made Seimei feel as if he was shooting himself in the foot. Seimei has never done cooking, or any man of any status in Heianjing would not do it. .

Seeing Qingming's stunned expression, Reiko's mood suddenly became very happy: "Then it's decided!"

After speaking, she left the room briskly.

Qingming, who was left alone, couldn't help but laugh. He finally resigned to his fate and sighed, walking towards the kitchen.

Reiko seldom made requests with him, since Reiko had asked this time, Seimei would naturally do it—even if it was just a joke.

Ge Ye's cooking skills are very high-level, just like that exquisite wooden house, every dish is like an exquisite work of art, and the taste is even better.

"It's delicious!" A piece of fish entered her mouth, and the delicious taste burst out on the tip of her tongue. Reiko couldn't help speeding up the frequency of picking up vegetables, and half a fish entered Reiko's mouth after a while.

As long as you think about the scene when Reiko gnawed on the steamed bun with her legs crossed, you will know that Reiko's eating manner is naturally not elegant, but Ge Ye doesn't mind, and looks at Reiko with a smile.

After seeing the grains of rice sticking to the corner of Reiko's mouth, Ge Ye leaned in front of Reiko and carefully took the grains of rice away.

After Reiko noticed Ge Ye's actions, all movements stopped instantly, holding the chopsticks in one hand and the bowl in the other, completely at a loss.

"Pfft!" Seeing Reiko's cute appearance, Ge Ye suddenly laughed out loud, "Eat slowly, I'll do it again if I like it."

"No, no, I'm full!" Reiko replied hastily.

Perhaps it was the influence of living in relatives' homes in the past, when Reiko faced her elders, she was always very cautious, instinctively restrained all her habits, and became as well-behaved and sensible as possible.

"It's okay, I like the way Reiko eats. Every chef hopes to be appreciated for the food he cooks, doesn't he? Reiko's reaction makes me very happy!" Ge Ye helped Reiko fill another bowl of soup, Softly comforted.

"Thank you." Reiko responded in a low voice, looking a little embarrassed.

Qingming looked at the two people in front of him and felt a little headache.

One looked at Reiko tenderly, and the other secretly glanced at Ge Ye after two bites of food, and then immediately lowered his head shyly, which made Qingming always feel that he was the extra one.

It gets dark quickly in winter, and as soon as the sun sets, the temperature immediately drops.

Seimei and Reiko came suddenly, and Ge Ye, as a monster, could not use a stove, so he didn't prepare any measures to keep warm.

"Lingzi, tonight you live in Qingming's room, and Qingming sleeps in my room, do you think it would be nice? Of course, if you want, you can sleep with Qingming." Ge Ye helped Lingzi get an extra quilt, begging Reiko's opinion.

"I'll just sleep by myself!" Reiko replied instantly. There was absolutely no need to consider the choice of sleeping in the same room with Qingming, and Qingming's mother and child hadn't seen each other for a long time, so there must be a lot to say.

Ge Ye helped Reiko make the bed, and put an oil lamp into the room: "Many girls have the habit of being afraid of the dark. If they are afraid, they keep lighting it on to sleep."

Reiko wanted to retort, "I'm not afraid of the dark", but when the words came to her lips, she unconsciously changed into: "Thank you."

Ge Ye smiled gently at Reiko, and then carefully closed the door for her.

After the sound of Ge Ye's footsteps disappeared completely, Reiko threw herself on the bed, and the smell of sunlight on the quilt came over - it seemed that these quilts had been dried regularly.

That's great, mother is such an existence.

You must have a good chat, Seimei.

When Ge Ye returned to the room, Qingming was sitting upright and waiting for Ge Ye's return: "Mother, what do you want to tell me?"

"See it?" Ge Ye was not surprised, and sat across from Qingming in the same posture.

"According to normal circumstances, you should sleep with Reiko." Seimei said simply.

Ge Ye sighed: "You are much smarter than me and your father. Reiko is a good child, I like her. But have you ever thought that I am a monster, you are a half-demon, and Reiko Just an ordinary human being. Can you bear the never-ending loneliness after loving vigorously?"
