Ke Xuezhuo's son-in-law

Chapter 404 Mary’s Smile
  After what seemed like an eternity Mary woke up.

After waking up, she opened her eyes in confusion, turned on the lamp, and found a stack of money on the bedside table.

"No, how come I fell asleep and can't remember it? Where did this money come from? Did Fujiwara put it here?"

She picked up the money and counted it with confusion. The total was 44500 yen.

After leaving the bedroom, she found that the light in Fujiwara's bedroom was still on. She carefully pushed open Fujiwara's bedroom and found that no one was inside.

It was already past 10 o'clock, and Fujiwara was not in the bedroom. Could he be watching TV on the first floor?

Turning off the light in Fujiwara's bedroom, she took the money and walked downstairs with these doubts. When she reached the first floor, she found that Fujiwara was not here.

When the tabby cat saw Mary coming down, she ran over excitedly and asked for a pet.

瞄~
  Mary smiled and stroked the cat's ears and comforted her, "I'll rub it for you later. Do you see where Fujiwara is?"

Although the tabby cat can understand the intentions of some humans, it is not a real human after all and cannot speak like a human.

Mary's only response was the unique purr of a cat.

Mary didn't understand what the tabby cat meant, so she looked at it in confusion for a while.

(No, why should I wait for a cat’s answer.)

After realizing that she was being stupid, Mary turned her head in embarrassment. When she was about to go to the second floor to take a look, Azusa Enomoto came out of the kitchen and saw that Mary was awake and asked, "Is Mary awake? Are you hungry?" ? I left some for you in dinner. If you want to eat it, I can also heat up the fish for you at noon."

Mary nodded when she thought that she wanted to eat fish at noon, but she couldn't remember when she suddenly fell asleep. She only remembered that a girl knocked on the door, and she and Fujiwara followed the girl to the place where the lights were a little dim. There was also the big detective and the detective boy opposite, and she won a lot playing mahjong together. Times. Oh she won money!
  (So ​​this is Fujiwara’s reward for me?)
  After thinking that what she was holding might be the money she had won, Mary smiled helplessly, and then put the money in the pocket.

Noticed that the lights on the second floor were not on, and Fujiwara didn't seem to be at home.

(Is it on the first floor?)

She hadn't eaten anything all day, and she just wanted big chunks of meat.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Azusa Enomoto heated up dinner and walked out with half a fish left over from lunch.

But judging from the color and taste, Mary could feel that she could eat well. However, what puzzled her was that according to the past time, Azusa Enomoto would leave home before 8 o'clock. The current time is At 10:25, she stayed for two more hours.

(Did you stay here especially for me? Where did Fujiwara go?)
  Feeling a little stuffy, Mary stood up and took out two bottles of soda from the refrigerator, giving one to herself and the other to Azusa Enomoto.

"Oh, thank you." Azusa Enomoto thanked him.

This warm gesture made her feel more fond of Mary, and she felt that this girl was not as cold as she seemed on the surface, and that maybe she had a warm side in her heart.

The summer night was extremely hot, and Azusa Enomoto felt really refreshed while drinking soda water.

It's great with sparkling water on a hot summer day.

After Maria finished her dinner quietly, Azusa Enomoto stood up and started to clear away the dishes.

The variety shows on TV were getting more boring than the last, and there were no interesting programs to be played at this point, so Mary began to concentrate on sitting on the sofa and petting the cat, waiting for Fujiwara to come back.

Twenty minutes later, Azusa Enomoto finished cleaning up the kitchen and came out with the food waste and saw Mary sitting on the sofa in frustration.

"Why don't Mary watch some TV? I'll take out the trash and watch it with you." Mary raised her eyes and didn't say anything. She just turned on the TV silently, picked a channel, put down the remote control and petted the cat silently.

When Azusa Enomoto came back, she saw Mary turning on the TV and petting her cat. It seemed that the programs on TV did not arouse her interest. Thinking of Fujiwara's words before leaving in the afternoon, "Mary may wake up at night, and she may be scared if she is alone here, so you may be aggrieved to get off work later today and spend more time with her for him. Although Mary is lonely, she is just like other children." .'

"How about we listen to music together?"

Mary glanced at it and then lowered her head and continued to pet the cat.

Azusa Enomoto, who was looking for boredom, silently walked to Mary's side and opened a cartoon with the remote control, trying to win Mary's interest.

But Mary remained calm, lulling the cat to sleep with a calm look on her face.

"Okay, would Mary mind if I change the channel?"

"I don't mind," Mary said without looking back.

"Well, I thought Mary wouldn't talk to me, but I didn't expect that."

"."

After changing the movie channel, I found that a very classic love movie was playing.

"I haven't watched this for a long time. The last time I watched it, I was still a junior high school girl. I thought I would be able to meet a boyfriend like Yingmu when I grow up. But in the end, no boy liked me at all."

Mary listened carefully to Xiaozi's story, thinking she had some kind of love story, but this is what happened?
  "Hahaha, that's too much to say. Is there any boy that Mary likes?"

"boring"

"Okay, but since Mary is so cute, many little boys will like you. By the way, why don't I take Mary to play in a nearby park tomorrow? There are many children there, and they should be very interested in making friends with Mary. "

"No need." Mary finally turned around and replied coldly.

After being despised by the child, Azusa Enomoto scratched her head in embarrassment and decided to watch TV quietly for a while.

Azusa Enomoto fell asleep just looking at it, and fell into Mary's arms. Mary didn't mind putting down the cat and gently patting Zi's shoulders to coax her to sleep. Even Fujiwara, who came back from doing things, was very surprised to see this scene.

"Why is it that Mary is coaxing her? Isn't it exactly the other way around?"

When she noticed Fujiwara opening the door and coming in, Mary yawned and pointed at the clock hanging in the living room, as if to say, 'Where did you come back so late? ’

"Kaito asked me to do something for him tonight, but he was just a little late. Hey, why didn't you sleep? Didn't I tell Xiaozi that I would tell you when you wake up and finish eating? A story?"

Mary touched her pocket and took out a large stack of banknotes, then looked at Fujiwara, full of confusion.

"Oh, this money is the money you won in the afternoon after taking away my own principal and leaving it for you. It is the money you have won and deserved."

Even so, why does a child like her need so much money? Fujiwara Hoshikai paid for her food, clothing, housing, transportation and even the original medical expenses.

"You keep it," Mary said with a smile, "I'll ask you for anything I can spend money on."

Fujiwara saw Mary's smile for the first time and was stunned for a while before replying, "That's okay, I'll keep it for you."

　I just woke up, it’s so uncomfortable being jet lagged.
