Someone hammers the hammer in the head.beep - beep - lang - At the same time, there was a small laugh. Hearing this, she opened her eyes.On the flower-patterned wall is a streak of morning light filtering in through a gap in the blackout curtains. Shinozuka Mika turned her head to look at the alarm clock beside her pillow.Kang Qing bought it for her from London. There are moving dolls on the clock face.When the set time comes, a couple of boys and girls will appear dancing to the music.Meijia set the time at half past seven, and the pointer was about to reach that moment.Just wait another minute, and the brisk melody will sound as usual, but she reached out and turned off the setting.

Meijia got out of bed and opened the curtains.Sunlight floods the room through the large windows and lace curtains, instantly brightening up the originally dark room.In the full-length mirror by the wall, a girl with messy hair in crumpled pajamas stood there with an extremely ugly expression on her face. There was another clatter, and then voices.She couldn't hear the conversation, but she could imagine that it was some kind of boring conversation anyway.Meijia walked to the window, looking down at the courtyard where the grass was still green.Sure enough, as she expected, Kang Qing and Xuesui were practicing golf on the grass. It should be said that Kang Qing was teaching Xuesui how to play golf.

Xuesui was posing with a cue, and Kang Qing was sticking to her behind her, holding the cue with her hand, like a double haori.Kang Qing whispered to Xuesui, and at the same time took her hand to move the club, swinging it up slowly, and then lowering it down slowly.Kang Qing's lips seemed to touch Xuesui's neck at any time, hey, he must have deliberately touched it from time to time. "Outside?" Miaozi looked puzzled, then nodded suddenly, "Master also gets up very early recently." "It's ridiculous, what kind of ball to play early in the morning."

"Because the master and wife are very busy, they only have time in the morning. I think exercise is a good thing." "Dad never did that when Mom was around." "People, things change when you get older." "That's why Dad married a young woman? He found someone ten years younger than Mom." "Miss Meijia, he is not very old, so he can't be single all his life, right? Miss Meijia will get married sooner or later, and the young master will leave home one day." "Aunt Miao's speech is really confusing. She said that she will change when she gets older, and she said she is still young."

Mika's words seemed to displease Taeko, who had loved her for many years.Taeko shut her mouth and walked towards the door. "Breakfast is ready, please go downstairs early. The master told me that even if the lady is about to be late, he will not drive you to school." "Hmph!" Meijia snorted, "This must be her instigating father." Taeko said nothing, ready to leave.At this time, Meijia said "wait a minute" and stopped her.Taeko's hand that was about to close the door stopped. "Aunt Miao, are you on my side?" Meijia said. Taeko showed a puzzled expression, then chuckled. "I am no one's enemy." Then, the fat maid closed the door.

Meijia was ready to go to school and came to the first floor. The other three had already sat down at the dining table and started eating.Kang Qing and Xuesui sat side by side with their backs to the wall, and in front of them was Meijia's younger brother Youda.Youda read the fifth grade of elementary school. "I really don't have confidence. At least I have to hit the driver well, otherwise I will cause trouble for everyone." "In practice, you will find that it is not as difficult as you imagined. What's more, you say that you must at least hit the driver well, which is the most difficult. If you hit it well, it is a professional level. Anyway, you go to the golf course to play first. Look, that's the first step."

"I'm still very uneasy." Xuesui tilted her head, her eyes turned towards Meijia, "Ah, good morning." Meijia didn't answer, and sat down in her seat.Kang Qing said good morning to her and gave her a reproachful look.Meijia had no choice but to mumble "Morning" in her mouth. On the dining table, ham and eggs, salad, and croissants were placed on plates. "Miss Meijia, please wait a moment, I will bring the soup right away." Taeko's voice came from the kitchen, she seemed to be busy with other things. Yusui put down her fork and stood up. "It's okay, sister Miao, I'll come."

"No, I don't drink soup." Said, Meijia grabbed the croissant, took a bite, then picked up the glass filled with milk in front of Youda, and took a big sip. "Ah! Sister, why are you drinking mine!" "What's the matter, stingy!" Meijia picked up the fork and started eating ham and eggs.At this time, a bowl of soup was placed in front of her, which was brought by Xuesui. "I said no more." She said without raising her head. "It's specially brought here for you, what are you talking about!" Kang Qing said. "It's okay." Xuesui comforted her husband in a low voice, and an awkward silence enveloped the dining table.

It's not delicious at all, Meijia thought, even the ham and eggs made by Taeko, her favorite food, are tasteless, and the meal is not pleasant at all.The top of the stomach still hurts a bit. "By the way, are you up tonight?" Kang Qing asked Xuesui while drinking coffee. "Tonight? No." "Then let's go out to have a meal as a family of four. My friend opened an Italian restaurant in Yotsuya, and asked me to go to support it." "Oh, Italian food, that's great." "Meijia and Youda have heard it too. If there is anything you want to watch on TV, remember to make an appointment for recording."

"Great! Then I will eat less snacks." Youda said happily. Meijia gave her younger brother a sideways look and said, "I won't go." The eyes of the couple fell on her at the same time. "Why?" Kang Qing asked, "What's the matter with you? There is no piano lesson today, and you don't need a tutor?" "I just don't want to go, it doesn't matter if I don't go." "Why don't you want to go?" "What's the point of asking?" "What are you talking about? Just say what you want!" "Husband," Xuesui interjected, "Let's forget about tonight. Think about it, I'm not completely fine."

Kang Qing was speechless and stared at her daughter.Xuesui was obviously speaking for Mika, which made Mika even more restless.She put down her fork rudely and stood up. "I'm going to school." "Meijia!" Meijia turned a deaf ear to Kang Qing's cry, picked up her schoolbag and coat and went to the corridor.While she was putting on her shoes at the entrance, Yukiho and Taeko came out. "Be careful on the road, don't just rush for time." Xuesui picked up the jacket that was on the ground and handed it to Meijia, who silently snatched it.Yukiho smiled at her and said, "This dark blue sweater is so cute." Then he added "Isn't that right" to ask for Taeko's approval. Taeko also smiled and nodded, "Yes." "It's nice that the uniforms are beautifully done these days. They were pretty dull in our day." An inexplicable anger welled up in my heart.Meijia took off her coat, and in the astonishment of Xuesui and others, even Ralph.Lauren's sweater is also taken off. "Miss Mika, what are you doing?" Taeko asked hurriedly. "I don't want to wear it anymore." "But it will be cold!" "I said no." Perhaps hearing the voice, Kang Qing came out. "What are you throwing your temper at?" "It's okay, I'm leaving." "Ah! Miss Mika! Miss!" "Leave her alone!" Kang Qing's angry voice seemed to cover up Taeko's call.With her back facing her father's scolding, Meijia ran to the gate.From the porch to the gate is a corridor with sparse flowers and trees, which has always been her favorite.In order to feel the change of seasons, she sometimes even deliberately slows down.However, the length of the corridor now made her extremely painful. Meijia didn't understand what it was that disgusted her so much.The other she in my heart asked coldly: What's wrong with you?To this question, she replied: I don't know!I don't know, just very angry!What can I do... The first time I saw Xuesui was this spring.Kang Qing took her and Youda to the boutique in Nanqingshan, and a stunning beauty came to greet them, and that was Xuesui.Kang Qing told her that he wanted to buy new clothes for the children, so she ordered the clerk to take out the clothes from behind one after another.At this time, Meijia realized that there were no other customers in the store, and the whole store was booked by them.The two siblings seem to have become models, constantly changing clothes in front of the mirror.Not long after, Youshi said with a bitter face, "I'm tired." Meijia is at the age of beauty, wearing well-selected designer clothes, of course it is impossible not to be unhappy.However, there is one thing she has always cared about, that is, who is this woman?At the same time, she also felt that she probably had a special relationship with her father.When choosing Meijia's little dress, Meijia suspected that she might have a special relationship with herself and her younger brother. "Sometimes the whole family will be invited to the banquet, right? If Meijia wears this dress at this time, she will definitely win the audience. Parents also have face." Xuesui said to Kang Qing. Her intimate tone also made Meijia feel harsh, but what irritated Meijia's nerves was that her statement had two subtle meanings: one was that she would of course attend the banquet herself, and the other was that she regarded Meijia as her own. accessories. After looking at the clothes, start discussing which ones to buy.Kang Qing asked Meijia which ones she wanted, Meijia hesitated, she wanted them all, and it was hard to choose. "Dad has decided, I like everything." Hearing what Meijia said, Kang Qing said "brain-wrenching" and picked out a few.Looking at the clothes he chose, Meijia thought, it really was her father's style, and most of the clothes she chose were those of a rich lady, not revealing, and the skirts were very long.This preference is the same as that of the deceased mother, who still has a girlish feeling and likes to dress up Meijia as a doll.Thinking that her father was influenced by her mother after all, Meijia couldn't help being a little happy. Finally, Kang Qing asked Xuesui: "What do you think of this?" Xuesui folded her hands on her chest, looked at the clothes and said, "I think Miss Meijia can wear a little more gorgeous and lively clothes." "Really? If it were you, which one would you choose?" "If it were me..." As she spoke, Xuesui selected a few clothes, most of which were more mature, but also slightly playful, and none of them belonged to girlish style. "She's only in junior high school, is she too mature?" "She's bigger than you think." "Oh?" Kang Qing scratched her head and asked Meijia what to do. "Father decides," she said. Kang Qing nodded to Xuesui upon hearing this. "Okay, then buy them all. If you don't look good, you will be responsible." "Don't worry." After saying this to Kang Qing, Xuesui smiled at Mijia, "From today on, stop being a doll." At that time, Meijia felt that somewhere in her heart seemed to be trampled on.She felt insulted by her late mother who dressed her up like a doll.In retrospect, that moment may have been the first time she felt negative emotions towards Yusuho. From that day on, Meijia and Youda were often taken out by Kang Qing, eating and driving with Xuesui.When she was with Xuesui, Kang Qing was always very excited and talkative.When Meijia's mother was still alive, she would occasionally go out on vacation, and Kang Qing was mostly silent.But he talks endlessly in front of Xuesui, and no matter how big or small, he always asks Xuesui's opinion and obeys her.Whenever this happens, her father turns into an extremely stupid buffoon in Meijia's eyes. One day in July, Kang Qing told her a big news.That is not a discussion, nor an inquiry, but a notification.He said that he was going to marry Miss Karasawa Xuesui. Youda was stunned. Although he didn't look very happy, he didn't seem to reject Xuesui becoming a new mother.Meijia thinks it's because he doesn't have a mind of his own yet, and he was only four years old when his mother died.Meijia bluntly said that she was not very happy.She also said that for her, her mother, who died seven years ago, was her only mother. "It's good," Kang Qing said, "I'm not telling you to forget your dead mother. It's just that there will be new members in this family, and we will have a new family." Mika didn't speak.She lowered her head and screamed in her heart: She is not my family! However, she couldn't stop the gears that had already started turning.Everything is going in a direction that Meijia doesn't like.Kang Qing is overjoyed to be able to marry a new lover, she looks down on such a father from the bottom of her heart.When she thought that her father had become so vulgar, she couldn't forgive Xuesui even more. If you ask her what is dissatisfied with Xuesui, she can't answer, in the end, it can only be said to be intuition.She admits that Xuesui is indeed beautiful, and also admires her intelligence.She is in charge of several stores at such a young age, so she must have extraordinary talents.However, once she is with Xuesui, Mika's body will stiffen involuntarily.She kept sending warnings in her heart: Never take this person lightly!She felt that there was a foreign light in the aura released by this woman, which did not exist in the world they lived in.And this kind of heterogeneous light will never bring them happiness. However, perhaps this idea was not conceived by Meijia alone.But it is certain that some of them are indeed influenced by someone. That person was Kazunari Shinozuka. Ever since Kang Qing announced to her family that she would marry Xuesui, Yicheng has visited frequently.He was the only one among many relatives who firmly opposed the marriage.Meijia eavesdropped on the conversation between uncle Tang and father in the living room several times. "That's because my cousin doesn't know her true face. At least, she won't be a person who is content with her family and puts her family's happiness first. Please, can you reconsider?" Yicheng said in a pleading tone. However, Kang Qing's attitude seemed very annoying, and she didn't take her cousin's words seriously at all.Gradually, Kang Qing grew disgusted with Yicheng. Meijia saw him pretending not to be at home several times and refused to see Yicheng. In this way, three months later, Kang Qing and Xuesui got married.They didn't hold a luxurious wedding, and the wedding banquet was very low-key, but the bride and groom looked extremely happy, and the guests were also quite happy.Only Meijia was secretly worried, she thought the matter was irreversible.No, maybe she wasn't the only one, because Kazusei Shinozuka was also present. Life begins with a new mom at home.On the surface, the Shinozuka family hasn't changed much, but Mika can feel that many things are indeed changing.The memory of the deceased mother has been deleted, the lifestyle has changed, and even the personality of the father has changed.Her biological mother was fond of flower arranging.Entrances, corridors, corners of rooms, etc. are always decorated with flowers that correspond to the seasons.Today, the flowers placed in these places are even more gorgeous, and anyone will be amazed by their grandeur.It's just that those are not flowers, they are all delicate artificial flowers. Will even the whole house become artificial flowers?
