Chapter 316: Satisfied Maki
Having successfully managed to get a meal with Morikawa Riho, Sawayama Haruno seemed in a good mood.
After returning home, he played with Salmon Maru for a while with unprecedented patience. After he came out of the shower, he saw the video call from Miyazawa Maki and answered it without thinking.
"Hey?"
Sawayama Haruno pressed back and forth on the screen of his mobile phone a few times, and soon the other party's picture appeared.
I saw Maki Miyazawa placing her cell phone on the pillow, lying on the bed, which was very close to the cell phone, a fatal distance.
The unexpected appearance of the human face also successfully scared the kitten lying on Sawayama Haruno's body.
The salmon ball let out a "meow" and the cat disappeared in an instant.
"Stinky kitty!"
Miyazawa Maki was naturally very angry when she saw this scene. She whined and said, "Don't feed it cat food tonight."
"You've been fed. Have you eaten?" Sawayama Haruno said with a smile.
It seems like Maki is no longer opposed to spending the night at Miyazawa's house. Although she still hides in her room, it's better than before when she couldn't stay there at all, right?
All things are difficult at the beginning. After taking this step, it will be just around the corner for Maki to reconcile with her family.
"I've eaten. We went out to eat in the evening."
Miyazawa Maki picked up her phone, turned over and muttered, "We were supposed to eat at home, but dad burned down the kitchen."
"Eh? You're not hurt?"
"That's not the case, but there was a very pungent and unpleasant smell in the living room that kept lingering. In the end, we had no choice but to go out for dinner."
Miyazawa Maki asked absentmindedly, "Where's Suguha? Aren't you two staying together?"
Are you worrying too much?
By the way, this guy couldn't have thought that I was being close to Suguha at the moment, so he called me specifically, right?
No, it's unlikely that someone with such a fetish would be her sister.
If Mana knew this, she would definitely want to listen more.
Sawayama Haruno's eyes flashed with helplessness, and he explained, "Suguha is out. She made an appointment with her former tutor to go shopping together today, so I'm the only one at home now."
"Eh--"
Miyazawa Maki was obviously a little surprised.
"It sounds pretty miserable." Miyazawa Maki pouted and said unhappily, "If I had known earlier, I would have gone back with you."
"I wasn't too lonely. I worked in the afternoon and went out to have a meal with my editor in the evening."
Sawayama Haruno leisurely reported his day's work to the other party.
Although Maki was not very interested in the novel he wrote, she was happy to hear what Sawayama Haruno did in a day, or what parts of the novel he wrote.
".That's about it. I haven't written anything for the time being because I'm stuck with some inspiration."
Sawayama Haruno touched his hair which was not yet completely dry, and said with a helpless smile: "It seems that there is no rush. I hope I can write more before the end of the year."
"Well"
Miyazawa Maki yawned and said lazily, "I talked to Mana in the afternoon."
".What did you talk about?"
"What else can we talk about? Isn't it because of you?" Miyazawa Maki glared at him and complained, "That guy said something like he would never give up. It's so annoying."
"Cough cough."
Sawayama Haruno looked a little embarrassed.
In order to skip this somewhat difficult question, he asked a little stiffly: "Are you sleepy? I saw you yawn again."
Miyazawa Maki did yawn again, and she looked like she was so sleepy that tears were about to come out.
"I don't know why, but I feel sleepy lately. But I have to go to work tomorrow."
"Is it time to quit the video game store?" Sawayama Haruno asked with concern.
Pregnant women do seem to have a sleepy side. Perhaps Maki is affected by this and is feeling sleepy all the time.
After all, this girl used to be a complete night owl, and it was only seven or eight o'clock, which was the time when she just finished her nap and got up to watch TV.
"I do not want it."
Hearing what Sawayama Haruno said, Miyazawa Maki snorted and said, "Let's wait until we really don't have the energy. It won't have any impact now, and we've changed shifts, so there's no need to rush over so early in the morning."
"And I don't want to stay at home all day long. Even if Mana goes to school, she still has her parents at home," she added softly.
It is indeed a point worth considering. Zeshan Haruno nodded in agreement.
It is said that distance creates beauty, and this sentence is actually applicable to family relationships. Just like when he first went to college in his previous life, he would enjoy the highest level of treatment from his parents for the first two days every time he returned home.
However, this treatment will take a sharp turn for the worse on the third day, and in the end your parents will feel more and more disgusted with you and want you to go back to school as soon as possible.
Although Maki's current situation is not going to become the same as in her previous life, no one would want to spend a whole day with their parents in such an awkward situation. What's more, there are food and drinks in the video game store, and people to play with her, so Sawayama Haruno can understand her thoughts.
"Go to sleep if you're tired."
After seeing Maki Miyazawa yawn for the third time, Sawayama Haruno felt a little sorry for her. He wanted to end the call record early and let Maki Miyazawa go to sleep, but the other party started to act like a spoiled child at this time.
"do not do it"
Maki Miyazawa's voice is as soft as marshmallow, making it difficult to resist her request.
"I want to chat for a while longer. We haven't chatted much today."
Miyazawa Maki put her phone aside, turned on the speaker, and hummed, "Just chat for a while."
"Why are you still like a little child? Do you need someone to coax you to sleep?" Sawayama Haruno said with a hint of amusement.
"Isn't it okay? Just think of it as coaxing the twins."
Miyazawa Maki's voice became increasingly light, but she seemed to still be trying to resist the drowsiness that was like a tide.
She said coquettishly to the phone: "You go to bed too, we can sleep together."
Sleeping with the microphone connected is the most common thing couples do. Usually, this will not cause the woman to get pregnant, but it may cause her to become greasy-eared.
It's not funny. This is just Haruno Sawayama's inner complaint.
Although he could never understand what it meant to sleep with a live broadcast, after hearing that this was Maki Miyazawa's request, he still chose to satisfy her. He took his phone into the room and lay down.
"I'm lying on the bed too, is that ok?"
"Um"
The camera on Miyazawa Maki's side was always dark. She must have covered the bed with the camera side, so Sawayama Haruno couldn't see anything clearly.
But her voice continued to come from the phone.
"I have to go to the hospital after get off work tomorrow. Around four o'clock." Miyazawa Maki muttered to herself.
"Hey, are you going alone?"
Sawayama Haruno instantly became alert.
"Not just me. My family members will go. I didn't want to go, but they insisted on taking me for another checkup."
Maki Miyazawa sighed and kept complaining, "It's so troublesome. The hospital smells so bad."
"For the sake of your health, just bear with it." Sawayama Haruno said gently to the phone as if coaxing a child, "Do you need me to come over tomorrow?"
".Forget it, don't you still have a job?"
Miyazawa Maki sniffed hard and whispered, "It's just a checkup. You don't need to come all the way here."
"By the way, do you and Suguha really have no other plans?"
"There are arrangements, actually." Sawayama Haruno hesitated for a moment and said honestly, "I met Mr. Takashima when I came back today, and he gave me a coupon for a hot spring hotel. The location is probably near Chiba, and we are planning to go there for two days these days."
"Oh"
Miyazawa Maki didn't know what she was thinking of, and said softly, "I remember there seems to be a bikini in Suguha's closet. You can ask her to wear it."
Why do you know this kind of thing?
Sawayama Haruno coughed dryly and said, "It's just a normal hot spring bath. Do you want to go?"
"No, it's so cold, even in a hot spring you'll catch a cold easily."
Miyazawa Maki refused without hesitation.
She thinks that hot spring bathing is only suitable in summer. Bathing in hot springs in winter is no longer a pleasure, but a torture.
"Just go ahead. I'll just stay at home for the next few days. Actually, there are still some things I haven't told my family."
Miyazawa Maki pulled at the quilt and whispered, "But I don't know how to start. Some things are hard to say."
"Some things don't need to be said, the other party also knows it."
Sawayama Haruno whispered a word of comfort.
He could clearly feel that Maki was becoming more and more sleepy.
The other party's voice became increasingly "weak", and the logic of his speech was completely inconsistent. It was obvious that he fell asleep and blurted out all his worries.
What you need to do at this time is to patiently continue chatting with the other person. As the chat goes on, the other person will fall asleep unknowingly.
Sawayama Haruno felt that he was becoming more and more adept at coaxing children.
But what he didn't expect was that after chatting with Maki for more than ten minutes, he would be the one who fell asleep before her.
But this is understandable, after all, he didn't take a nap the whole afternoon, and even kept writing and playing with the cat.
At night, he went out to have dinner with Riho Morikawa, and now he happened to be lying on the bed to coax his girlfriend to sleep, so it was normal for his consciousness to fall into a drowsy state.
On the other end of the phone, Maki Miyazawa noticed that his voice became weaker and weaker until it disappeared, and she contentedly turned off the light button next to the bedside table.
"Good night."
she whispered.
