Chapter 320 Suguha's Exposure
After seeing Suguha Esaki go to find Shiori Mine to take a hot spring bath, Haruno Sawayama also returned to their room.
But before he could lie down and enjoy the relaxing time of vacation, his cell phone rang first.
I don’t know if there’s something wrong with the people in this world, or if I’m just too unlucky. Every time I want to relax, various things always happen. When I heard my cell phone ringing, Sawayama Haruno didn’t want to move at all.
According to his guess, it was definitely impossible that the person calling was Maki. After all, the other party should still be having dinner with colleagues in the video game store, and Mana should also be in the school cafeteria.
Ayano Yui didn't know, but that guy basically just sent text messages when he had something to say, and there were rarely any emergency situations where he had to call.
After eliminating these possibilities one by one, it goes without saying that the people who are left calling him are mostly business-related, and nine times out of ten it will be Riho Morikawa calling.
“I don’t want to answer it.”
Sawayama Haruno rubbed his face vigorously, feeling somewhat hopeless.
He actually communicates with Morikawa Riho on the phone quite often, mainly because the sales of "Norwegian Wood" have been rising recently, and the copyright issues have led to frequent communication between the two.
Even if we ignore this point, ever since the competition in Kyoto, the other party would often take advantage of "Haruno's rare rest time" to accurately call him and force him to be busy.
It's not that I have any problem with Morikawa Riho, but it's rare for me to come out to soak in the hot springs, and it's a bit too torturous to have to worry about work. I really don't know what things require me to keep contacting her to deal with them.
Sawayama Haruno sighed, but finally turned over in bed reluctantly and sat up, ready to answer the phone.
Then as soon as he got the phone, he froze in place.
It showed a name that looked very familiar, but one that he hadn't contacted for a while - his mother, Ako Sawayama.
"Come to think of it, I haven't told them about Maki yet."
Sawayama Haruno muttered to himself and sat back on the bed.
I originally wanted to wait until the holidays to call my mother and tell her, but since she called me on her own initiative, I might as well take this opportunity to explain everything to her first.
It just so happens that I have plenty of time today, so I'm not afraid of my mother nagging on the phone for an hour.
After making up his mind, Sawayama Haruno answered the phone without thinking.
"Hello, mother?"
"You still know that I'm your mother?"
A woman's faint voice came from the other end of the phone.
"How long has it been since you called home?"
"It has nothing to do with me. Didn't my mother block my number last time?" Sawayama Haruno said calmly.
He was not talking nonsense, Ayako Sawayama really had blocked him before.
The specific reason can be traced back to his trip to Kyoto to participate in the competition. At that time, Ako Sawayama came to Tokyo without saying hello and caught him and Maki off guard.
At that time, Ayako Sawayama had no intention of listening to her son's explanation. She just wanted to chat with Maki, so in order to avoid unnecessary interference, she directly blocked Sawayama Haruno's phone number.
Of course, after returning from Tokyo, she immediately removed her son's mobile phone number from the blacklist. However, Ayako Sawayama originally thought that the other party would call her again, but she waited until today and did not receive any news about Sawayama Haruno.
"You still have the nerve to say it?"
Hearing her son's answer which seemed very reasonable but was actually full of loopholes, Zeshan Ayako was furious.
This guy sometimes lives too "independently". Since moving to Tokyo, he has had less and less contact with his family.
Moreover, he has rarely asked his family for money since he went to college. Sometimes I really worry about how he can survive in Tokyo.
"Maki knows to call me from time to time. If you can't get through to me, can't you call your father?"
"No, men always keep things to themselves and won't say too much on the phone. Besides, I'm also very busy lately." Sawayama Haruno said helplessly.
By the way, did Maki also call her mother privately?
This is the first time he knows this. Maki has never told him this before.
Ah, it’s not like I haven’t said that before. That guy has always been worried about whether he can become the perfect daughter-in-law in Ayako Sawayama’s mind.
For this reason, she seems to want to learn "how to become a Yamato Nadeshiko-type woman" for some time.
Of course, this goal was abandoned after being set for less than three days, which was consistent with Sawayama Haruno's assessment of her half-hearted perseverance.
"What else can you do?"
Sawayama Ako retorted unhappily: "Unless you are busy having a baby with Maki, this reason is not enough for me to forgive you."
"Uh"
Hearing his mother's words, Sawayama Haruno's expression suddenly became a little subtle.
"I say, mother. What do you think if Maki and I really have a baby?" he asked tentatively.
"What else?"
Ayako Sawayama's tone was full of contempt.
"According to your personality, you don't plan to get married and have children so early, right?" She knew her son very well. Even when Haruno was dating Mana before, he showed that he had no intention of starting a family too soon. It was probably because he inherited his father's personality and wanted to discuss these things only after ensuring his absolute independence and freedom.
When Ako Sawayama was dating Haruno's father, she already knew his personality very well. Therefore, when facing a son with the same personality, although she felt helpless, she still decided to support his ideas.
"Let's not talk about marriage and children."
Thinking of this, Sawayama Ako said unhappily: "You just need to bring Maki back as soon as possible. If you can't bring her back, bring Mana back. In short, you must bring back a girl named Miyazawa by the end of the year. If you can't bring her back, you're done for."
Her last words were full of warning.
It seems that if Sawayama Haruno really can't do it, he will come to Tokyo to deal with him.
"Mom, I'm not kidding"
Feeling the threat from his mother, Sawayama Haruno became more and more helpless.
He patiently explained to the person on the other end of the phone: "Maki is pregnant, it's true, so I asked you what you think?"
"."
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.
The long period of silence made Sawayama Haruno gradually feel uneasy.
I mean, the other party wouldn’t be booking a ticket and would be coming to see them right away by the Shinkansen?
Although this would allow his family to meet Maki's family earlier, such an astonishing speed still made people feel a little uncomfortable, not to mention that he was not in Tokyo now, and would go back to his hometown with Mine Shiori not long after returning to Tokyo.
There won’t be time to arrange so many things by then.
Thinking of this, Sawayama Haruno suddenly felt pressured. Just when he was about to "persuade" his mother to calm down, a clearly strange voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Really?"
"Really? We've already had two checkups, and Maki will go for the third one this afternoon," Sawayama Haruno said honestly.
"Really?"
There was obvious uncontrollable excitement in Ayako Sawayama's tone.
She quickly asked on the other end of the phone: "When did it happen? How many months has it been now? Is it a boy or a girl? You plan to keep the baby, right?"
"Yes, yes, mother. Can you please answer one question at a time?"
Zeshan Haruno rubbed his brows and said helplessly: "Of course I have to stay. It's not three months yet, but it will be soon. I plan to check the gender next month, but there is good news."
He paused and added: "The doctor said they are twins, and they are developing healthily."
"twin?"
Ako Zeshan was suddenly a little surprised.
To be honest, she had always thought that twin children were very cute, mainly because they were influenced by the twin sisters named "Miyazawa".
In Ako Sawayama's opinion, Mana is a gentle and virtuous girl, while Maki is a cute girl who is more quirky and a little tsundere. She thinks both of them are great.
Now, although I didn’t have twin daughters, I now have twin granddaughters.
If only I could have a daughter-in-law with twins!
The more Sawayama Ako thought about it, the more excited she became, and she didn't listen to a word Sawayama Haruno said to try to calm her down.
She couldn't wait to ask, "So what's going on now? You should be planning to get married, right? When will you have a holiday? Hurry and bring Maki back."
"The holiday will be here soon, and classes will basically be over after the holiday. I will then take Maki back early."
Zeshan Haruno pondered for a moment and gave a specific time.
"Probably within half a month." Zeshan Haruno comforted his mother and said, "Don't worry, mother, I have already arranged the specific time."
"Another half month?"
Ako Zeshan couldn't help but blame the other party.
"Can't you come back earlier? You're not going to class anymore anyway, right?"
"Hey, how did you know?"
Sawayama Haruno's face suddenly looked a little embarrassed.
"I heard from Maki when I went to Tokyo before that you hardly go to school except for important classes."
Zeshan Ayako mercilessly exposed: "It's the end of the semester again, the courses should be more relaxed, so you won't go to school anymore, right?"
"Well, I also have work to take care of. I told my mother last time that I'm writing a book at Kodansha now." Sawayama Haruno said with a dry cough.
He wanted to explain to the other party that he was really busy, but at this time, Ezaki Suguha suddenly walked in from the courtyard outside.
As if she didn't notice that Zeshan Haruno was on the phone, she asked directly, "Haruno, is my swimsuit in the suitcase or the travel bag?"
