    Mom smoked it first!

    It’s all mom!

    mother–!

    Upon hearing this, my mother immediately changed her face and said proudly: “Yes, I smoked it first.”

    “…Since it was mom who smoked it first, there’s nothing we can do about it.” Dad also recovered from the shock and accepted this statement very happily, “Forget it this time, please let mom go to the study with me to write a review.”

    ——He also changed his title from “Mr. Kohakugawa” to “Xiaoliu”.

    My mother asked in disbelief: “Hey, don’t you? Old man! At such a happy moment, you still need to write a self-reflection?”

    “What are you doing here? Let’s go quickly.” Dad pulled her away with a look of hatred on his face, leaving the balcony to the two young people.

    “…”

    Kohakugawa looked at Sakuzao Seomi, and Sakuzao Seomi looked at Kohakugawa.

    Kohaku Chuanliu took a deep breath and decided to break the strange silence by himself.Just as he was about to speak, Sakuzao Holy Minister took a step forward and stretched out his hand to him with a sullen face.

    Kohakugawa obediently handed over the cigarette that he had only taken a puff of, but Sakuza Seomichi jumped over the thin cigarette and directly grabbed his wrist.

    Amber Chuanliu raised his head in surprise, and then, the cold face magnified in front of him.

    “I, um——”

    Sakuzaa Shengchen lowered his head and blocked all the unspoken and broken words.Kohaku Chuanliu didn’t want him to smell the smell of smoke, so he subconsciously hid behind him, but Sakuhaha Shengchen pulled him back, ruthlessly pried open his defense, and crushed him hard. The strong mint flavor exploded between his lips and tongue, and finally melted into his clean and hot breath.

    After lingering for a while, Sakuzao Shengchen separated slightly from him and looked down at his watery eyes.

    The tips of their noses touched each other, breathing intertwined.

    “Is it not as scary as you think?” Sakuzao asked in a low voice.

    “Yes…” Kohaku Chuanliu thought of the “Mom” he blurted out just now, nodded, and didn’t know what he thought of, and said again after a while, “Yes.”

    “But you still can’t smoke in the future.”

    After Sakuzasei finished speaking, he let go of his wrist, took away the cigarette from his fingertips, extinguished it, and turned around to leave the balcony.

    Kohaku Chuan caught up with him with a smile and held his hand.When he turned back, he quickly stood on tiptoes and touched his lips again.

    Sakuza Seomiki pretended to be disgusted and said: “Go and rinse your mouth.”

    Amber River: “…Didn’t you say that mysophobia was cured when you kissed me?”

    Sakuza Seomi soon discovered that Kohakugawa was too harmonious with his family.

    Dad called him to the study, and the two chatted about literature and movies for several hours until his sister complained: “That’s it, dad! Now it’s my turn to borrow the Amber River!”

    Kohakugawa chatted with his sister for several hours about the latest fashion show, which was completely his domain.

    “So you were responsible for designing this series? I liked it very much before.” Kohaku Chuanliu said.

    “Yes, but I recently plan to set up my own brand and go it alone.” His sister showed him the design drawing, “This is the first series I have initially decided on.”

    “…A women’s clothing brand aimed at young office workers is great.” Kohakugawa thought for a while, “But it seems that it would be better to add some personal things to it, such as concept and attitude. Brands are all about telling stories.”

    Sister: “!”

    Sakuzao Holy Minister: “…”

    His brother laughed at him from the side: “I think you won’t be able to talk to Ambergawa all day long. Dad is still in the study, waiting for him with Mishima Yukio and Tanizaki Junichiro.”

    Sakuza Seomi looked at him secretly, with an expression that said, “Don’t even think about running away.” He grabbed him to read Kohakugawa’s previous stomach examination report.

    The elder brother frowned, carefully read the gastroscopy images and report conclusions stored in his mobile phone, and then smiled.

    “As the hospital report concluded, there is no serious problem. He just eats irregularly all year round and is easily affected by emotions. You don’t need to keep an eye on him too closely. He just needs to eat on time and he will be fine. If you are really worried, you can usually take some probiotics or something,” he said.

    Sakuzao Holy Minister nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

    Then my brother received a call from the internship hospital, urgently calling him to go back and work overtime.

    “…” My brother said angrily, “I know you must not look at work stuff outside of working hours! Ahhhhh!”

    “Dad, Mom! I’m going back to the hospital!” he shouted.

    “Are you coming back for dinner tonight?” Dad asked in the study.

    “I won’t go back! I don’t know what time it will be!”

    Sakuzao Shengchen looked at the time and hesitated whether they could leave.

    “You and Xiaoliu can stay here for the night. We have everything at home and your room has been cleaned.” Dad added.

    “Yes, you can stay with your parents.” My brother said.

    Sakuza Seomi looked at the Kohaku River and asked for his opinion.

    Kohaku Chuanliu was also a little hesitant, not sure whether to stay or not.

    The elder sister also wanted to catch Kohakuchuan and chat about the design, but she also realized that the two of them seemed to have the younger brother in charge of Kohakuchuan, but in fact it was Kohakuchuan who had the decision-making power, so she actively lobbied him:

    “Yes, yes, Amber River, please stay at home today. I will show you the photos of Shengchen when he was a child!”

    Sakuzao Holy Minister: “…”

    Amber River: “Okay!”

    *

    “I feel that Seiomi has been cleaner than other children since he was a baby. He almost never crawls on the floor, and his activities are limited to his bed and the cushioned area in the nursery.” The mother pointed to a picture of Sakuha Seiomi as an infant and told Kohakugawa.

    “When was this photo taken?” Kohaku Chuanliu asked with great interest.

    “It seems to be three months, right?” Mom said again, “Look, you don’t smile at such a young age.”

    Kohaku Chuanliu carefully compared the three-month-old little holy minister and the 24-year-old great holy minister, and couldn’t find anything in common except that he didn’t like to smile and his skin was very white.

    “You can’t tell at all.” He smiled and shook his head.

    The mother looked at it with emotion: “It feels like I was a child not long ago, how could I grow up so big all of a sudden?”

    “This picture shows me playing volleyball in Xiaoyuan.” My sister pointed to another photo and said, “I had already gone to study abroad at that time, right? I only came back during holidays. I thought my brother was very withdrawn at first, but it turned out that he went out to play volleyball every day, so I went to watch him once.”

    In that photo, elementary school student Sakuza Seomi is already taller than his peers. He is wearing simple sportswear and is practicing playing with Motoya Komori. His small brows are full of seriousness.

    Turning the next page, a group of children were playing and playing around after practice. Sakuza Seomi stood far away from them, lowering his head and wiping his dirty volleyball.

    “It took so long to fight.” Kohaku Chuanliu said casually.

    Sakuzao Holy Minister’s heart moved slightly: “…Yes.”

    “This was the first time that Shengchen played in a national competition when he was in middle school.” His father said, “That time I changed classes to accompany him in the competition. I didn’t expect that he would take the initiative to meet friends from other schools. I was so surprised that I took a photo of them.”

    “Isn’t this Mumu and Ushijima? It turns out that you have known each other so long.” Kohakugawa asked, “Why is Mumu crying! The cold face of the holy minister must have frightened him.”

    “It’s not me.” Sakuhaya Seomi said calmly, “He was scared by Ushijima. He was even so scared that he failed to serve all that day. And I just wanted to get to know Ushijima, and Bokuto came over because he saw us taking pictures.”

    Amber River laughed.

    “This is the entrance ceremony for Jingda Mountain.” After turning another page, Sakuzao Holy Minister said.

    In the photo, it was the cherry blossom season in March. Sakuza Seomi was wearing a white stand-up collar uniform and a mask. He stood expressionlessly at the gate of Jingda Mountain School and took this classic entrance photo.

    “At that time, he was in the rebellious stage of youth. When we took a photo of him for his entrance ceremony, he was very dissatisfied. Look at Xiaoliu, he has such a reluctance on his face and he didn’t take off his mask,” her mother said.

    Sakuzao Holy Minister: “…I don’t have any.”

    Kohaku Chuanliu looked at the photo with a smile, but seemed to see something else, and took the photo closer in confusion.

    “What’s wrong?” Sakuzao asked him.

    Kohaku Gawa pointed at a dynamic silhouette among the distant and blurred crowd in the background of cherry blossoms – it seemed to be saying something to the person next to him, but that person was not included in the camera’s frame.

    The silhouette was wrapped in the sun, his chin was slightly raised, and his chestnut hair glowed like honey. Even though he was wearing a uniform uniform, you could see that the outline of his body was thin and light.

    Sakuza Seomi also realized something and took the photo and looked at it carefully.

    “That’s me.” Kohakugawa said with certainty, “Next to me is Aunt Yuko. I remember she was wearing a blue skirt that day. You can see her cuffs were photographed here.”

    “It’s fate.” Mom said with a smile, “Look, it’s a good thing mom took a photo of you that day, right? And she said you didn’t want it.”

    Sakuza Seomien: “…I told you that I am not in the rebellious stage.”

    Kohaku Chuanliu took what was perhaps the earliest photo taken between them and looked left and right. He felt a little emotional, but also a little unbelievable. He was speechless for a moment.

    “Take this one with you.” Sakuza Seomi took the photo out of the album, “Take it back to our home and put it on the glass cabinet in the study.”

    “Yeah.” Kohaku Chuanliu nodded.

    Then there are the photos of IH.

    That photo was sent by Iizuna. He was holding the trophy, hugging Sakuhaa Seiko and Motoya Komori at the same time. The three of them were smiling happily.

    “This one actually puts your teammates next to you?” my sister asked.

    “Because this time…” Sakuzasaomi paused and looked at Kohaku River, “I won the championship.”

    “You won the championship.” Kohaku Gawa asked, “When was it?”

    “It’s your second year after you transfer to another school.” Sakuhayashiomi said, “Iizuna-senpai is in the third year and we are in the second year.”

    “Oh.” Kohaku Chuanliu lowered his head to cover up the flash of loneliness. He quickly raised his head and said with a smile, “That’s awesome! I heard from Iizuna that your grades have always been very good. Hehe, I’m proud of you too.”

    – But you were supposed to be there.

    Sakuzao Holy Minister did not say this.

    “Just look at this.” Sakuza Seomi stood up and said to Kohaku River, “…go back to the room and sleep.”

    Everyone said good night.

    Kohakugawa followed Sakuza Seiko upstairs and came to the room where he used to live.

    Sakuza’s family lives in a duplex in a high-end apartment. The three children are also pursuing money-burning routes such as art, medicine and sports. They go to private schools and study abroad; they are both cultured and educated.Even if you ask them whether you belong to old money, they will just shake their heads and modestly say that we are just middle class.

    Although the family members are very busy, they all have a good relationship with each other. Sakuza Seomi’s indifference is just his nature, and it was like this when he was three months old.

    Like the other side of the world where amber flows, a complete antonym.If there is an ideal family model for people, it should be the Sakuhaya family.

    There are no extramarital affairs that are not blessed, no female stars who fail to marry into rich families, no illegitimate children, no depression and hysteria, no downfall and death, no forced interruption of dreams, none of these.

    If it weren’t for Sakuza Seomien, he would never have been able to come into contact with such a happy world.

    And now he is one of them.

    “…Thank you, Holy Minister.” Kohaku Chuanliu said softly.

    “So,” Sakuzao Shengchen turned around and pressed him against the bedroom door, “…can you tell me now why you transferred to another school?”
