The sky is gray in the morning, the dawn is hiding behind the clouds, and the sleeping people are hiding behind the quilt.

"Little Ayako, get up!"

"It's still early... Dazai, why are you so excited?" The curtains were half drawn, there was almost no light in the bedroom, and I could barely see that the black figure standing in front of my bed was Dazai.

"Although Ying Gu Yangyi is nothing, but today I will accompany Xiao Lingzi to see my younger brother!"

Dazai talked about his younger brother, his tone was warm as if they had known each other for a long time.

I helplessly pushed out the quilt, seeing him like this even if he continued to sleep, he couldn't sleep well.

Dazai cleaned up early and followed me to watch me take care of myself.

After washing up, I began to pick out clothes. I looked at the black suit that Dazai hadn't worn for a long time: "Why are you wearing a suit today?"

"Little Ayako, look at this."

Dazai took out his phone, found a screenshot and handed it to me.

——What should the parents of the woman wear?

——A suit, or a more formal suit.This looks more stable and gives the woman's parents a very reliable feeling.

"Actually, a suit might be inconvenient." I recalled Dazai's expression of abhorrence towards dogs, and I was faintly worried that he would fight with Chunqi's big golden retriever, "Xia Maru——the golden retriever I gave to Chunqi has already grown big."

Dazai's hand to pick clothes for me froze, and he picked out a long beige dress from the closet with a normal face: "Little Ayako, don't think about it, I can't fight with dogs."

I blinked my eyes noncommittally, Dazai, a childish ghost, might start to quarrel with Xia Maru anytime.

After everything was prepared, Dazai carried the gift he said he had prepared for Chunqi, in exactly the same posture as other people's families who came to see their parents seriously.

Dazai is taller than before, and the lines on his face can still see some youthful looks.

"Miss, you are back."

Butler Nagase stood straight, with a tired expression on his face.He has been the butler of the Sakuragu family for decades since he was young, and this strict butler rarely shows such an expression.

"What happened, Grandpa Nagase?"

Nagase Ichiro opened the door for me and Dazai. I scanned for a week and found that the flowers blooming in the yard were not as meticulous as before, and many of them were drooping.

"This..." Nagase Ichiro looked at Dazai with a hesitant expression.

I took Dazai's hand and nodded slightly to Ichiro Nagase: "It's okay, please tell me."

"Some time ago, a woman came to see his wife, and he happened to be seen by Master Chunqi. The master has been busy with company affairs recently, so he neglected the young master and his wife."

I frowned, the matter was definitely not as simple as Nagase Ichiro said: "Then why are the gardeners and servants gone?"

"Well, there are a lot of things at home recently, except for a few old employees, let them go back for vacation first."

"Where is father?"

"Master lives in the company recently." Nagase Ichiro said so with an ugly expression.He has stayed at Ying Gu's house for decades, and Ying Gu Yangyi is regarded as he watched him grow up, and he doesn't feel comfortable tossing about these things.

"I see." After understanding the basic situation, I sighed and walked in the door.

Dazai didn't speak, he held my hand slightly tighter, and my heart eroded by anger and anxiety calmed down instantly.

Yinggu's house is decorated in a gorgeous European style, so delicate and elegant that it is cold and unkind.

"Ma'am, Missy is here."

Asami Sakuraguya was sitting on the sofa, leaning on a small pillow behind her back, she was not haggard after her delicate makeup, she put down the black tea in her hand and smiled at me.

"You're here, Ayako."

Asami Sakuragu maintained the dignity of a lady, but I saw her slightly trembling fingertips.I sighed lightly, Sakuragu Yoichi is indeed a scumbag.

"Where's Chunqi?"

"I'm sleeping late, Chunqi went to bed a little late last night."

After Asami Sakuradani answered my question, the living room became quiet. She is a family-oriented woman, with Yoichi Sakuradani and Haruaki at the center of her life.The only topic I have in common with her is Chunqi.

I also kept my head down and didn't speak.

Dazai was brought here to torment Sakuragu Yoichi, and now that he is not at home, Dazai's killer weapon is useless.

"Ayako, is this your friend?" It was Sakuradani Asami who finally started to talk, her soft voice was a little hoarse.

"Well, he's my boyfriend."

"I'm Osamu Dazai. It's an honor to meet you, Mrs. Sakuradani."

Sakuragu Asami looked at Dazai and nodded slightly, she murmured blankly: "So, Ayako has grown up too..."

I looked at Asami Sakuragu and frowned, and vaguely remembered that when I was young, when Asami Sakuragu was not surnamed Sakuragu, she would occasionally come up to tease me when she saw me.

Although Asami Sakuradani was single before marrying Yoichi Sakuradani, she stayed away from Yoichi Sakuradani at least on the surface during the years when Yoichi Sakuradani married her mother.

Her husband was secretly being watched by Ome, and her mother must have felt uncomfortable, but Asami Sakuradani didn't try to destroy anything.In the final analysis, everything is Sakuragu Yoichi's fault.

I murmured and asked a nonsensical question: "...why did you wait for him for so many years?"

"Yangyi has a gentle temper and takes care of others. Who wouldn't like a high-spirited young man?" Asami Sakuragu understood, her voice trembling slightly, "Sometimes, what you can't get becomes obsessed." I always think he is the best, no one can be better than him.”

My heart was trembling, and I couldn't empathize with the girl's dream, but her illusory expression made me feel heavy.

"I'll go upstairs to see Chunqi." I wanted to avoid the sad atmosphere, so I picked up the gift that Dazai had prepared for Chunqi and turned around quickly.

"Little Ayako, maybe I can have a chat with Mrs. Sakuraguya?" Dazai let go of my hand, and lightly held it on the back of his hand like a butterfly kissing.

"Okay." I wasn't in the mood to think about what Dazai wanted to talk to Sakuradani Asami, and hurried upstairs.

I didn’t even dare to use my strength when stepping on the wooden stairs. Chunqi only celebrated his fifth birthday this year, and everything he sees and hears will have a great impact on his world.

The light on the second floor is bright, and the corridors are clean and spotless. My chest seems to be blocked by cotton, and I feel stuffy and panicked.Chunqi's current situation reminds me of myself. After my parents divorced, I didn't have a clear understanding and was at a loss.

I gently pushed open the door, and the little ball on the bed was buried under the quilt, wondering if it was still asleep.

Xia Wan lay on the carpet beside the bed, with her head resting on her front paws, guarding Chunqi like a vigilant guard.Seeing me coming in, it whimpered and flicked its tail twice, its gentle brown eyes continued to stare at the door vigilantly.

Hearing the opening of the door, the little dumpling on the bed pushed herself under the quilt, and her milky voice was nasal after crying: "...Mom, I don't think about it."

I gently sat on the edge of the bed: "Chunqi, it's me."

"Sister!" Xiaotuanzi lifted the quilt in an instant, burrowed into my arms with red eyes, and began to cry silently as she shook her shoulders.

"It's okay, Chunqi won't cry."

"Sister, dad is so bad! Bullying me and mom!"

"So Chunqi can't cry for this bad guy." I lowered my eyes and patted Chunqi's back lightly.

Perhaps, as I should have said to my grandfather, the Sakuragu family is not only owned by Yoichi Sakuragu, but also belongs to my mother.Sakuragu Yoichi's ability can no longer match his ambition, and the Yinggu family needs someone who is more secure and can see the situation clearly to take over.

"Chun Qi, Chun Qi don't cry, woo woo woo, sister, I feel so bad woo woo." Chun Qi grabbed my clothes, crying and trembling.

"Chunqi, you still have your own mother, she is also suffering now, you are a little man, you have to be strong after crying." I touched Chunqi's head and comforted him in a low voice. Nothing can be done.

"Wang~" Xia Wan raised her forelegs and placed her head on my lap, flicking her tail to make Chun Qi happy.

"I see, sister, don't worry." Chunqi got tired of crying and got back into bed again, the whole group seemed embarrassed.

"My sister is going down first, you have a good rest."

"Okay, is this a gift my sister prepared for me?"

"It was prepared by my sister and friend, good boy Chunqi." I tucked in the quilt and walked downstairs with a heavy and relaxed heart.

The atmosphere downstairs is harmonious——

"Maybe these photos are just what Madam Sakuradani needs." Dazai put the sealed paper bag on the table, and pushed it to Asami Sakuradani with his fingers.

Asami Sakuradani opened it and saw that it was Yoichi Sakuragu making out with all kinds of women in his private house. Her expression was shocked: "Yangichi is very cautious, why are you...!"

"That's not the point. Whether it's for yourself or your son, it's not a good choice to continue to guard Sakuragu Yoichi." Dazai's expression was relaxed, his hands rested on the sofa armchair, his fingertips moved rhythmically tap.

Sakuragu Asami seemed to have been stabbed to death, her numb expression slightly distorted: "Then what should I do?"

"This should be something you should consider yourself. As soon as Ying Guyou made Xiao Ayako unhappy, then there is no need for him to stay in this position to make people annoying." Dazai scratched the side of his face briskly, "Oh, who made Xiao Ayako You like Chun Qi-jun so much, think about it together?"

"……I understand."

When I went downstairs, Dazai and Asami Sakuradani were sitting on the sofa in the living room without a word, and I vaguely felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

"Chun Qi fell asleep after crying, and now Xia Wan is with him."

"I see, thank you, Ayako." Asami Sakuradani's expression was more lively than before, but her eyes subconsciously avoided Dazai.

I had a hunch that Dazai said something would come out of talking with Asami Sakuradani, but now I just hold his hand and don't ask.

"Grandpa thinks that my father is old and may need my help, and the Atobe family will help when necessary." I took a sip of tea and continued, "It seems a bit embarrassing to ask grandpa to help, can Auntie Mami help me? "

Sakuragu Asami's expression froze, and finally she smiled with difficulty: "As expected of the daughter of the Atobe family, I promise your cooperation. It's just that it should be Haruki in the end!"

I was about to agree in one breath, but Dazai squeezed my hand to stop me from speaking.

Dazai slightly leaned back against the sofa, and chuckled lightly: "Well, it depends on Mrs. Sakuragu's sincerity."

"……I understand."

There was a lot of tension in the middle of the conversation, and in the end we even discussed a hundred ways to take power from Yoichi Sakuradani.

Well, in fact, Dazai gave a variety of plans and asked Asami Sakuragu to weigh the pros and cons, and I drank tea and watched the play next to him.

As a result of the final discussion, I was in the dark, but Dazai and Asami Sakuradani looked happy.

"Dazai, although I don't quite understand what you guys are discussing, but I want to praise you—boyfriend, you are awesome!!"

"Will Ayako give you extra points?"

"Of course! Extra points! Twenty points for you!"

"From now on, Ayako will start making up lessons, she doesn't have any scheming at all." Dazai pinched my nose helplessly, as if looking at a hopeless fool.

"Hey, are you stupid to dislike your girlfriend?"

"Of course not. Others are stupid. My girlfriend is different. It's pure."

"You're mocking me! I still remember you saying that I'm not very smart!" I slapped Dazai's hand away, jumped up and grabbed his face.

"I was wrong, little Ayako, I was wrong!"

"Let's go, don't be ashamed at the gate!"
