designer who lives in the next room

"Why did she beat me..." Yui asked inexplicably, "Originally I planned to go out with Asuka, but she had something to do that day, so I had no choice but to contact Nanako."

Kimura Asuka actually allowed Yui and Nanako to go out together, isn't it what she thought?

"Stop thinking about it here..." Yui could see what was going on in Natsume Haruko's head, "Nanako and I are just friends. It's normal for friends to go shopping together, right?"

Maybe it's normal, Natsume Haruko, who has no friends, didn't have such an experience at all, so she can't tell if it's normal or not.

Yui looked at Natsume Haruko, in fact, she was also a little surprised, now Natsume Haruko's heart actually allows her to talk about Nanako...

"Speaking of which, what kind of cat do you want?" Although Natsume Haruko didn't show any wrong emotions when talking about Nanako, Yui still planned to divert the topic elsewhere, "Do you have a goal? "

"I want to raise a Siamese or Ragdoll cat." Natsume Haruko immediately answered Yui, "I prefer these two cats, but if there is no one that I see right. Other breeds are not impossible, Maine Coon cat It is also possible, it can grow very large."

Are puppet cats and Siamese cats...they are indeed popular cats in recent years. There are also more puppet cats in the cat coffee shop that Yui and Asuka Kimura often go to, but Yui It is not recommended, the puppet cat's hair is long and easy to fall off, isn't this a bomb for Natsume Haruko's mother?

Volume [-]#I can afford it

There are a lot more cats in the cattery compared to the previous few days, and they are all kittens who have just reached the full moon and can live independently.It may be the reason why Ragdoll cats are more popular in recent years. Most of these kittens who have just reached the full moon are Ragdoll cats, and there are some other breeds of kittens, but none of them look as cute as Ragdoll cats.

After walking through all the pet shops, Natsume Haruko picked out a kitten she liked, so that night, she took the kitten she picked back home.

Same as last time, when Yui sent Natsume Haruko home, Natsume Haruko's mother was still waiting for her daughter at the gate.When Haruko Natsume got out of the car, her mother saw the cat in her arms.As early as this morning when she left home, Natsume Haruko greeted her mother. She said that she would bring a kitten back when she and Yui went out to play today.

So Natsume Haruko's mother was already prepared for this. Although she felt a little apprehensive when she saw the kitten, she never showed it. After all, this is something she promised her daughter. The daughter is anxious about this.

Together with this kitten, Natsume Haruko brought back the cat’s daily necessities, such as cat litter boxes and cat food. Originally, Natsume Haruko wanted to buy some other things, but she had no choice but to be with them. Personally, and Yui's car still can't fit, so I can buy the rest online later, and save Natsume Haruko from running to move it back by herself.

"Is this the kitten you chose?" Natsume Haruko's mother asked, pointing to the kitten in her daughter's hand. Influenced her to observe the cat held in her arms by her daughter, "It's really cute."

Originally thinking that her mother would say something else, Natsume Haruko was a little nervous, but after hearing what her mother said, Natsume Haruko felt relieved.

The kitten has always been obediently lying in Natsume Haruko's arms, only daring to keep turning its head to check the novelties around it.This is the first time she has seen the world of food delivery since she was born. Although the kitten gives people a feeling of timidity, she is more curious.

Natsume Haruko, who was holding the cat, was always unwilling to take a step closer to her mother, for fear that she would rub the cat on the kitten's body to her mother.

"It's very cute. I don't think there is any cuter creature than a kitten." After getting the pet she has always wanted, Natsume Haruko is not to mention how happy she is now. If she hadn't met Natsume Haruko before, Yui would have I will never believe that this person actually has some problems in his heart.

The sky had already darkened, and it was getting late, Yui, who had brought Natsume Haruko home safely, should also leave.Kimura Asuka finished the meal and was still waiting for her at home. After the meal, they had to go to the bar to work together, and Yui had to go to Nanako's place before going home. She couldn't keep crawling Take the sugar glider that the owner of the pet shop gave Nanako with you.

"I brought your daughter back, so I'll leave." Yui hurriedly said something to Natsume Haruko's mother while Natsume Haruko and her mother were silent, and brought the last thing Natsume Haruko brought back. After handing it over to the servant on the side, she planned to leave.

"Are you leaving now?" Natsume Haruko's mother walked towards Yui, she seemed a little reluctant to leave Yui just like that.

Many years ago, Yui was her good sister, and the relationship between the two was quite good. Yui always stayed at her house and the two of them played until late, but since Natsume Haruko's mother got married, she rarely I will have such an opportunity with Yui again.

Even if she can talk about everything with her daughter, it is not enough to make up for her psychological loneliness. She actually really wants to live the same life with Yui again, and she wants Yui to come whenever she has nothing to do. Accompany her, no matter how old a woman is, her heart is actually the same as that of a little girl, who would not be happy to let her best friend accompany him every day?

"That's right..." Yui, who was about to get in the car, looked back at Natsume Haruko's mother, saw her reluctance, and said to her with a smile, "Why do you want me to stay with you so much?" ?”

"Can't you? How long has it been since you spent the night at my house..." Natsume Haruko's mother's tone seemed to be coquettish, but she kept her voice so low that only Yui could hear, "Every time you They all promised me that next time, next time, but you have never come to me..."

Listening to what Natsume Haruko's mother said, Yui couldn't help but think of what Natsume Haruko said to herself this afternoon. If Natsume Haruko was right, then Yui wouldn't be able to stay here overnight.If Natsume Haruko's mother is really lonely enough to be interested in Yui, wouldn't Yui who entered Natsume's house be at the mercy of Natsume Haruko's mother...

What if Asuka Kimura finds out?

What's more, there is Nanase Nami in Natsume's house now, just relying on this, Yui will not stay.

"I'm also very busy...I'm not like you. My family's property is stable, and I can make money by taking it at home all day." Yui shrugged and said to Natsume Haruko's mother, her hand was still on the open car door , I have no intention of staying at all, "I want to go to the bar every day to sell alcohol to make money... So if I miss a day, I will make a day less money. What if the bar always opens for a few days and closes for a few days? What do you do? Raise me?"

Unexpectedly, Natsume Haruko's mother didn't realize that Yui was a joke, so she nodded directly.

"No problem, I can afford it." Natsume Haruko's mother said with certainty, she knew Yui very well, this person actually didn't like anything, and rarely went back to buy those luxuries, so such Yui , let alone one, even ten she can afford.

"But I don't need you to support me..." Yui was a little embarrassed, she regretted the joke just now.

Since she moved into Lily's apartment and started joking and bickering with Nanako, she forgot that not everyone can joke.Natsume Haruko's mother is not good. Although this person is still very young, she can't understand jokes at all, so she often makes jokes. The other party is obviously joking, but she will analyze it seriously, and then Say what is wrong with the joke in a very serious tone.

"Speaking of which, you should have quite a lot of friends now." Yui shook her head, she wanted to forget what happened just now, "If you feel bored, go talk to them, I heard from your daughter that you are not Do you often go out to eat with other ladies?"

The first volume#The woman who can't handle the clothes

Since she became the top leader of Natsume's family, Natsume Haruko's mother would often go out shopping and eating with other ladies. This kind of thing is regarded as a kind of entertainment.

No matter how powerful the Natsume family is, it is impossible to be the best in every aspect, so it is very important to have a good relationship with other families.For Natsume Haruko's mother, going out to eat and shop with those people is actually not happy at all, she just went because she couldn't refuse.

"That's not the same at all." Natsume Haruko's mother suddenly became a little angry. She felt that Yui didn't understand what she was thinking at all, and Yui didn't understand how she saw her.

Natsume Haruko's mother suddenly became angry, which Yui didn't expect. She couldn't help but wonder when was the last time she saw this woman angry, but she still remembered that once this woman became angry, she would become very scary. Even if it is against Yui, this woman will do it.

"What's the difference?" Yui asked her.

The fact that Yui can ask this question is because Natsume Haruko's mother will not do anything to her. They are no longer the bad girls they were back then, let alone her daughter is present now.

"Those people are actually just friends, and I went back to find them just to entertain them." Natsume Haruko's mother's tone was a little aggrieved, her eyes looked around and finally locked on Yui's face again, " But you are different, we are good friends, we used to play together a lot..."

Natsume Haruko's mother became agitated as she spoke, and she didn't care if there were other people present, so she walked up to Yui and grabbed Yui's collar, "Tell me, what am I? What did you do to make you angry so that you always avoid me? I didn't, did you, Yui, have you always hated me?"

Yui doesn't know where Natsume Haruko's mother came up with such a theory, she is right, she and Yui are good friends, Yui also thinks so, but friends don't have to stay together often, right? Aren't friends the kind who miss each other when they're apart, and hate each other when they're together?

On the days when we don't see each other, send a message or make a phone call when there is nothing to do, visit occasionally, go shopping and eat together on the rest day, these are normal friends.

Although Yui has never done these things to Natsume Haruko's mother, since Natsume Haruko's mother got married, Yui has never contacted her again. If it weren't for the incident between her daughter and Li Zixi, Yui Probably won't run to Natsume Haruko's house either.

"I don't hate you..." Yui pulled Natsume Haruko's mother's hand away, but then she didn't know what to do.

"What do you want to say?" Yui could only ask.

Yui can easily guess what a person is thinking through the expression and words of the other person. Even if it is the first time she meets someone, she can guess the general idea, but in this world, there is such a saying as "mutual growth and mutual restraint". Even though she has known Natsume Haruko's mother for many years, Yui has never been able to guess what Natsume Haruko's mother is thinking.

"Get in the car!" Natsume Haruko's mother suddenly pulled the door on the other side, then turned her head to look at her daughter who was looking at this side with a confused face, and said to her daughter, "I'll be back later, Go and play with Nanase Nami first."

After she finished speaking, she jumped into Yui's car, making everyone present at a loss.

"Wait..." Yui was the first to react, but Natsume Haruko's mother had already sat in the car, and she couldn't drag her out of the car, so Yui had to sit in the driver's seat, He closed the door, "What are you doing?"

"Drive." Natsume Haruko's mother looked at the road ahead and said to Yui, "Since you don't want to accompany me, then I will accompany you."

"..." Yui didn't know what to say at all, she knew this woman's temper too well, as long as it was her decision, there was no room for change, so Yui had no choice but to start the car, but she didn't step on it for a long time. Lower the gas pedal.

Natsume Haruko didn't know what her mother was going to do, but she felt relieved if she went out with Yui. She had other things to deal with. Although she was still in a dazed state, her mother didn't say anything. She couldn't ask, so she had to ask the servant to help her carry the things back home.

"Why don't you go?" Natsume Haruko's mother turned her head and glanced at Yui, "Do you want me to teach you how to drive?"

"That's not necessary, I'm better at driving than you." Yui rolled her eyes at Natsume Haruko's mother, then pointed to her seat belt, "Even if you don't tell me where I'm going, you should at least wear the seat belt." Fasten it first."

Yui's head is getting big now, she just sent Natsume Haruko back not long ago, and she is going to take her mother out again, and the mother and daughter have another problem, that is, they don't know where to go.

Yui could only slowly drive the car in the direction of home. She would calm down after walking a short distance towards her mother who might be taking Haruko Natsume, or she might suddenly decide to get out of the car and go home.

But until Yui was about to drive home, Natsume Haruko's mother didn't plan to get out of the car.

"Where do you want me to send you?" Yui stepped on the brake. There are not many cars on this road, so it won't cause trouble to others.

"Is this going to your house soon?" Natsume Haruko's mother guessed, she poked her head out of the window to look around, "The neighborhood around your house is really broken."

"Yes yes yes...it's very broken." Yui didn't get angry when she heard this. She seemed to live in a place like Natsume Haruko's house, but where did she get so much money? .

"Go to your house and have a look, anyway, I'm fine." Ignoring Yui's complaining tone, Natsume Haruko's mother said to herself, she has made up her mind, at least she will not let go before midnight Over knotted.

Yui didn't seem to have thought that Natsume Haruko's mother would say that, so her eyes widened.

She has Asuka Kimura in her family, and the two women have never met each other.It's too late for Yui to go home now, what will Asuka Kimura think if she wants to bring Natsume Haruko's mother back?Although an explanation would make sense, Yui couldn't figure out why Natsume Haruko's mother wanted to go to her home.

"Really, why are you so self-willed today..." Yui decided not to move forward until Natsume Haruko's mother made it clear, "Please explain clearly to me, please?"

Volume [-]#So you still remember my name

Yui couldn't see through Natsume Haruko's mother's heart, but on the other hand, Natsume Haruko's mother could see what Yui was thinking.

She can only understand Yui alone.

She also knew that if she didn't speak clearly, Yui would never go any further.

Moreover, Natsume Haruko's mother also noticed that she was a bit too headstrong tonight. Neither she nor Yui was a teenage girl anymore, and no matter what they did, they couldn't be as arrogant and unreasonable as they were back then.

Natsume Haruko's mother took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket, and shook one of them before Yui's eyes, "Is it okay to smoke a cigarette in your car?"

Yui doesn't smoke, but she doesn't hate the smell of smoke either. The smell of smoking dissipates very slowly in the car, but Yui still nodded in agreement.

She watched Natsume Haruko's mother light up a cigarette and take a puff comfortably, just like an old smoker.

"You're still smoking..." Yui picked up Natsume Haruko's mother's cigarette case and looked at it. Although they were women's cigarettes, they were still bad for your health. "Smoking is not good for your health."

"I didn't expect you to still care about me." Natsume Haruko's mother gave Yui a white look, "I thought you were too lazy to care about me."

"Tsk...Actually, I'm just too lazy to care about you..." Seeing what Natsume Haruko's mother said, Yui could only smack her lips.

Natsume Haruko's mother looked at Yui for a while and was silent for a while, puffing on her cigarette. When her cigarette was half burned, she continued to say, "I know I'm very self-willed today, I'm sorry, but I just want to be with you You stay a little longer."

"I know that you have a very good relationship with Nanako and Li Zixi now." Natsume Haruko's mother's tone returned to her usual tone, "I also know that you rarely come to me because of the things between my daughter and them of."

It seemed that Natsume Haruko's mother was letting Yui down the steps. Seeing such a good opportunity, Yui was about to affirm it, but just as she opened her mouth, Natsume Haruko's mother covered Yui's mouth with her hand , did not let her walk up the steps she had paved.

"That's not the reason, Yui." Natsume Haruko's mother pointed at Yui with a cigarette, "It's not a reason at all, what happened between my daughter and Li Zixi just happened three years ago, but you don't You have been coming to me for many, many years, and if I remember correctly, you have rarely appeared since I got married."

"So why is this? You definitely didn't refuse to see me because of Natsume Haruko." Natsume Haruko's mother continued to analyze, "You didn't want to see me because I got married, right? Is it because I stole your man? I remember you were not Lily's at that time..."

In fact, Natsume Haruko's mother had guessed it right, but Yui didn't want Natsume Haruko's mother to know about it, so she didn't respond.Seeing that Yui didn't respond, Natsume Haruko's mother was a little surprised.

"Did I guess wrong... Could it be that you were Lily at that time?" Natsume Haruko's mother tilted her head and looked at Yui, "Could it be because you like me, and then I broke your heart when I got married?" No wonder you always come to play with me..."

The more you say it, the more unreliable it is. Natsume Haruko's mother's thinking is too jumpy, right?

"That's not the case. I went to you because I only had a good relationship with you at that time." In order to prevent Natsume Haruko's mother from continuing to talk about these things, Yui pulled off Natsume Haruko and covered her mouth. Mother's hand, "At that time, I had no other friends except you. If I didn't go to you, who would I go to?"

"..." Natsume Haruko's mother retracted her hand, what Yui's words made her understand, "That is to say, do you have a lot of new friends now? That's right, you are really bad, Fighting and skipping class every day, no one wants to be your friend, now it’s different, you have Nanako, Li Zixi, and Kimura Asuka by your side, maybe there are many people I don’t know.”

Natsume Haruko's mother's tone suddenly became sad. She forgot to think about this before. She forgot that Yui who always came to play with her at that time was because she had no friends, and she also forgot that she was Yui's only friend at that time.

It seems that the matter has been figured out, and Natsume Haruko's mother found the reason after analyzing it.

It seems that Yui doesn't look for herself because she doesn't need herself anymore, and Yui is living a good life now.

It seemed that it made no difference whether Yui was with her or not. Natsume Haruko's mother opened the car door and walked down while nodding sadly.

"Hey..." Seeing Natsume Haruko's mother open the car door, Yui walked back, hurriedly unbuckled her seat belt and chased after her, "Natsume! Wait..."

But Natsume Haruko's mother didn't mean to stop.

"It's not what you said..." Yui hurried to catch up and explain, but no matter what she said, Natsume Haruko's mother always regarded her as air, "Wait, listen to me...stop! Ji! Stop for me!"

Natsume Haruko's mother is actually called "Natsume Miki", and Yui hasn't called Natsume Haruko's mother by name for a long time.

"I originally thought that if you still refused to call my name, I would really go back." Miki Natsume turned her head to look at Yui, with a somewhat relaxed expression on her face, "It's ok, ok, you still Remember my name."

Suddenly Yui felt as if she was being swayed by Natsume Miki, and her current expression was enough to show that this woman was neither sad nor angry just now.

She would pretend to be sad and get out of the car to leave entirely to test her own weight in Yui's heart. Seeing Yui hurriedly got out of the car to chase after herself, and even called her name, Natsume Miki also understood In fact, it is quite important in Yui's heart.

"You really suck..." Yui gave Natsume Miki a blank look again, but this time she felt quite happy, "Okay, okay, let me tell you the truth, I won't go looking You just thought you were busy, when you got married you were all focused on your family, at that time Haruko Natsume was still very young, you had to take care of her every day."

"Now that your man is gone, you have to carry the business of Natsume's family again. Although you are very tired, you have become very rich... and I just graduated from a terrible university at that time. I didn't go to see you because I was thinking about it." At that time, would you look down on me..." Yui was a bit uncomfortable as she spoke, but she really thought so at the time, "So I thought I would go to the hospital after I feel better. Looking for you, but I didn't expect it to take so long... And you haven't contacted me all the time, after a long time, I feel that you have actually forgotten me..."

Volume [-]#Those are all misunderstandings

"Why do you think so..." Yui's answer really made Natsume Miki feel very strange.

Natsume Miki, who hadn’t married into Natsume’s family at that time, was just a child of an ordinary family. Apart from playing a “bad girl” in school one day, she had to work part-time at the ramen shop she frequented in her spare time. Like ordinary girls at that age, Natsume Miki also likes the famous brand products she saw on the Internet, such as some trendy brands and cosmetics, but she has never been a person who will make ill-gotten gains.

When it comes to general badness, people will immediately think of their vicious qualities, skipping classes, fighting, contradicting teachers and seniors, all money is plundered from others, Natsume Miki has also done such things, only But she has never asked for money from others. Even when those classmates who were often bullied by her wanted to use money to protect themselves, Natsume Miki never took any money from others.

Find a way to make money if you don’t have money, starve if you can’t make money, just look at the things you like. In fact, Miki Natsume’s favorite thing in the past was to make crazy purchases on Friday nights when the supermarket was on sale. Food for the week.

She also met Yui who was also impoverished during that time period.

At that time, compared with Natsume Miki, Yui could only be said to be more than inferior. To be honest, Yui was a person who liked money. It was for this reason that she was able to embark on a bad path. Money can't buy the things she likes, and she often can't even eat enough to eat when she has conflicts with her family, so in order to make her life a little more comfortable, Yui decided to become a guy with a bad appearance.

So, if Natsume Miki would "stay away" from her because of Yui's poor job and lack of money, then she would not be Natsume Miki.What's more, she has always regarded Yui as her good friend. Unlike other people she knew, she always felt that she could go on with Yui, even if she got rid of the bad identity and lived her own life. Life.

"I, I'm just a little worried..." Yui answered her with some embarrassment. To be honest, she stopped thinking that way a long time ago. She had to go to see Natsume because of the incident between Natsume Haruko and Li Zixi a few years ago. Miki once, and from that time on, she found that Natsume Miki was not avoiding her deliberately, but was very concerned about Yui.

After the two of them exchanged their current mobile phone numbers that time, Natsume Miki would often send text messages to greet Yui, and by the way, ask her when she planned to visit her again.For Natsume Mihime's answers to these questions, Yui has always been vague and declined. When she realized that she had misunderstood Natsume Mihime, every time she saw her, Yui would feel extremely ashamed.
