Chapter 129 At the Dining Table, Zhang Lai's Pure and Beautiful Moments
"So that's why, Miki. The weather is really nice today."
Shimizu Ai had no idea what her good friend was really thinking.
She felt the warm sunlight shining on her and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, Xiao Ai, I'll stop now. My taxi is almost here."
In the video, Akizuki Miki waved to Shimizu Ai, about to hang up the call.
"Wait a minute, Miki, don't hang up yet."
Suddenly, Ai Shimizu seemed to remember something and quickly said...
"What's wrong, Xiao Ai? Is there anything else?"
On the other end of the video call, Akizuki Miki stopped what she was doing and was about to hang up, looking at Shimizu Ai with a puzzled expression.
"I forgot to tell you, my aunt is home today."
"Oh, is Aunt Shimizu home?"
Upon hearing Ai Shimizu's words, Miki Akizuki, who was holding her phone on the other end of the video call, was visibly taken aback.
His tone also carried a slight hesitation and a subtle lack of confidence.
"Tsk, Miki, look at you, you're still the same. You don't dare to come to my house as soon as you hear that my aunt is home."
"I don't know. Does my aunt look fierce or mean?"
Looking at Akizuki Miki's hesitant and uncertain expression in the video, Shimizu Ai said with a smile, "Miki, you still have that same expression."
"How could that be? Aunt Shimizu is such a successful person, how could she look so fierce and bad?"
In the video, Akizuki Miki, who was standing by the roadside waiting for a car, waved her hand immediately after hearing Shimizu Ai's words.
"Then why are you so afraid of my aunt, Miki?"
Shimizu Ai recalled that every time Akizuki Miki came to her house, she would ask her aunt Shimizu Yukizuki if she was home.
If I'm not home, I'll come over happily; if I'm home, I usually won't dare to come over.
"It's not fear, it's respect. Do you understand respect?"
On Ai Shimizu's phone screen, Miki Akizuki was refuting her friend's claims.
Her beautiful face showed a hint of distress and struggle.
"Xiao Ai probably lives with your aunt for a long time, so she doesn't feel anything is wrong."
"But you don't know, every time I see your aunt, I feel that she has a cold and aloof aura, and I don't dare to talk to her."
On the bedroom balcony, feeling a bit thirsty, Qing Shui Ai picked up the orange juice that was next to her and took a big gulp.
Upon hearing her friend Akizuki Miki's words, she instinctively asked in confusion:
"Oh, really? I think my aunt is usually quite nice."
"However, when he gets serious, he can indeed have a cold and aloof aura that keeps strangers at bay."
Shimizu Ai thought of the cold, serious look on her aunt Shimizu Setsukatsu's face when she got into trouble as a child.
Even though the sunlight was warm on her, Shimizu Ai still felt a chill.
"Yes, that's right, it's exactly the feeling that Xiao Ai said about 'keep away'."
"And the expression you're making right now is exactly the same as the expression I make when I see your aunt."
In the video, Akizuki Miki sees the somewhat frightened expression on her friend Shimizu Ai's face.
She looked as if she were seeing a mirror image of herself, and said with a mixture of excitement and distress.
"Xiao Ai, Aunt Shimizu usually has a cold and aloof aura when she treats other people."
"It's just that you've lived with Aunt Shimizu for so long that you've gotten used to it."
"But I'm not used to it. I feel a little scared every time I see Aunt Shimizu."
On the other end of the video call, on the roadside, Akizuki Miki sighed softly and said to Shimizu Ai.
"Oh, really? Is it because I've been spending so much time with my aunt that I don't feel anything is wrong?"
"Of course that's true. Aunt Shimizu is the president of two large companies, and her cold and dignified aura is really a bit intimidating."
"Oh, in that case, Miki, will you still come to my house to play?"
"Of course I'll come, how could I not? I've already set off, and my car is here."
. . . . . .
On the second-floor balcony, while Shimizu Ai was communicating with Akizuki Miki on the other end of the phone.
In the living room on the first floor, Hoshino Makoto, who had just come down the stairs, saw Shimizu Setsukatsu sitting at the dining table.
Shimizu Setsukatsu wore a white wool knitted cardigan on top and light-colored silk cashmere trousers on the bottom.
She rested her left hand on her cheek, held a document in her right hand, and casually crossed her long, full, and firm legs.
Her mature and beautiful face was full of seriousness, and the corners of her mouth were slightly curved. She seemed to be in a good mood.
Upon seeing this, Hoshino Makoto, who had just come down the stairs, instinctively wanted to move quietly to avoid disturbing Shimizu Setsugeki.
But the next moment, he met the cold and serious beautiful eyes of Shimizu Setsukatsu looking over.
"Auntie, you're back."
Noticing Shimizu Setsukatsu's gaze, Hoshino Makoto instinctively greeted her.
[Shimizu Setsukatsuki finds you very pleasing to the eye, and you've brightened her mood considerably. Happiness level +4]
[Shimizu Setsukatsuki recalled what Shimizu Yuzuki had told her last night: "You're actually the author of the manga 'The Burial of Frilian'?" She was still surprised, her surprise level increased by 7.]
[Shimizu Setsukatsu felt both angry and concerned when she thought about how late you were still drawing manga. Concern value +10]
No way, I guessed right! My aunt found out I was still up so late last night, so she's angry.
Moreover, since the start of the Spring Festival break, my aunt has been busier than before and hasn't been home for the past two days.
But now that Auntie has come back, could it be that she came back specifically for this matter?
Hoshino Makoto looked at the emotion value prompt that suddenly popped up in front of him, especially the last one.
But Hoshino quickly overturned and refuted his own idea in his mind.
Auntie probably didn't come back specifically because she was angry that I was still up so late.
I'm at home now, but my aunt was just looking at documents, which means there's a lot going on at the company.
Although my aunt cares about me, she also knows that things should be prioritized.
Auntie could have waited until she finished her work at the company before coming back to talk about my staying up late.
Hoshino Makoto quickly shifted his gaze to the second notification from the system in front of him.
When Hoshino Makoto saw this, he, with his six points of intelligence, understood it completely.
That's right, Auntie came back this time not only because she was angry that I stayed up late, but also because her revised version of the drawing ruined Frillie.
As the owner of Xingyue Comics, Auntie understands better than anyone the significance of this top-notch comic to Xingyue Comics.
Even so, the aunt's gaze was really too serious.
She exudes an aura of unapproachability, making it difficult to discern her true feelings.
Hoshino Makoto looked into Shimizu Setsukatsu's beautiful eyes, only to find that her gaze was a little too serious and earnest.
This was the first time he had ever seen such a pure and serene beauty, with an aura of coldness that kept strangers at bay.
Faced with such a beautiful scene of clear water and snow, Hoshino Makoto, who was originally a little hungry, suddenly felt no longer hungry and wanted to return to his room on the second floor.
But under the cool, beautiful eyes of Shimizu Setsukyo, Hoshino Makoto eventually walked towards the dining table in the living room.
