After breaking up, my ex asked me to win her back Chapter 312 311 My Mother's Fiancé's Encumbrance is My Ex-Gi

Kagura Hikaru had to take a deep breath before he could walk through the door in front of him.

Even though he knew whom he would et on the other side, he couldn't help feeling anxious.

Because today, he wasn't visiting as a friend or a classmate of the daughter.

Instead, he was there as the 'tagalong' son of his mother, Xiaosong Lisha, eting her fiancé and his daughter for the first ti.

It was completely different from the last ti he had stepped into the Kiryu residence, both in how he felt and in the objective fact of his changed status.

He was grateful that he had made a good impression on Kiryu Hina's father back then; otherwise, when his mother married him, he might have beco an actual burden.

But probably the most embarrassed of all must be Kiryu Hina.

His mother, Xiaosong Lisha, was already engaged to her father, and the wedding was basically visible on the schedule. Soon, Kiryu Hina would beco his sister in na.

It was just as well he lived with his father; otherwise, he didn't know how he'd feel facing Kiryu Hina every day at ho.

...No, that's wrong, he was already facing that situation right now.

Upon this realization, the headache Kagura Hikaru was suffering from worsened.

"Welco back, you two."

Kiryu Masaki, wearing a suit and glasses, and Kiryu Hina, father and daughter together, stood at the entrance to greet them.

He had a smile on his face, his deanor relaxed, and his eyes carried a hint of amusent, "And, long ti no see, Mr. Kagura, you haven't co for a visit since last ti."

"Eh? You know each other?" Xiaosong Lisha exclaid in surprise.

"Yes, I told you before, Hina twisted her ankle on the street, and it was Mr. Kagura who brought her ho."

"So that's what happened, why didn't you tell ," complained Xiaosong Lisha while taking off her high heels.

"Wanted to surprise you, and you did the sa, didn't tell Mr. Kagura about ," Kiryu Masaki said with a smile, slightly lifting his glasses.

The casual tone of the adults highlighted the harmony in their relationship.

Kagura Hikaru couldn't afford to pay attention to their conversation, his eyes fixed on Kiryu Hina, who was kneeling down quietly and taking out slippers for him.

"Here you go, Kagura," said Kiryu Hina, holding out a pair of blue slippers before him and looking up with a smile.

It was that kind of smile that at first glance seed gentle, but on a closer look was sly and mischievous.

"...You knew all along?"

Seeing Kiryu Hina's expression, Kagura Hikaru understood everything.

She must have been looking forward to eting him in the capacity of an 'older sister'.

Turns out, he was the only one left in the dark.

Taking into account their initially bad relationship, and the subsequent events of breaking off their friendship and the accident, her reasons for not speaking up were quite valid.

On the other hand, Kiryu Hina could have inford him of everything before the eting, as she clearly had the ti and the opportunity.

Intuition told Kagura Hikaru that she did it on purpose.

His eyelid twitched as he put on the slippers and walked towards the living room without a word.

Kiryu Hina followed him, hands clasped behind her back, a gleeful smile on her face, "I heard your mother went abroad to take care of your father? Leaving you here alone, you must feel lonely, right?"

"When soone's father is in trouble, it's best not to smile so happily; it can lead to misunderstandings."

"Sorry, but I can't help it. It's good news for , isn't it?"

"Blunt as always, I like that about you, but cut it out for now."

"Oh, sorry."

Kiryu Hina let him put his luggage down in the living room, then took him on a tour of the house, casually chatting about this and that, never running out of topics.

From the side, they looked like friends who had known each other for years.

But the truth was more than that.

They clearly had a deeper relationship, yet now that special connection was blocked off from them.

Kiryu Hina's expression remained unchanged, but her heart was sowhat complicated.

Since Kagura Hikaru's mory was restored, although they had reconciled, they could always sense an invisible wall between them in their interactions.

Was Kagura Hikaru still on guard against her, perhaps.

But, this ti it probably wasn't sothing he was doing on purpose.

So many years had passed between the two of them.

It was these years that had linked them, and yet it was also these years that had separated them.

After so many events in the past had transpired, could they really return to the way things were at the beginning.

Before she knew it, Kiryu Hina had taken Kagura Hikaru around the house for a full circuit, finally stopping in front of a room door on the second floor.

"This is your room, I live right next door, which is very convenient for a night raid~"

As Kiryu Hina spoke these teasing words, she opened the door to reveal a clean and tidy guest room.

It was obviously just a normal room for guests, but perhaps knowing he was coming to stay, there was a potted cactus on the desk and quite a few books stuffed on the shelves, adding so vitality to the room.

Kagura Hikaru looked around and said, "Thank you for letting stay, I'll try not to cause any trouble."

Kiryu Hina, taken aback, then said with a smile, "What do you an trouble? Once they're married, we'll be family."

"But even so, we're still separate, this is a special situation. I'll have to go back to live there when soone cos back."

"You always say such lonely things."

Kiryu Hina was slightly resentful.

This new 'little brother' was unexpectedly unadorable.

That's right, his lack of adorability was clear and she had known it all along.

Hearing voices from Kiryu Masaki and Xiaosong Lisha downstairs, Kagura Hikaru went down with her, only to find out that they were being called to go out together to purchase daily necessities.

With Xiaosong Lisha returning to the country and Kagura Hikaru now staying there, the household's stock of daily necessities was running low.

This seed to be a planned 'family action,' since Kiryu Masaki said with a smile that after shopping they would go straight to an Italian restaurant for a al, he had already booked a table well in advance.

Kagura Hikaru probably sensed his intentions.

To integrate soone quickly into a group, participating in group activities is a good dium. In the process of doing sothing together, you naturally learn how to adjust relationships and beco familiar with each other's social distances.

Needless to say, he was the one outside of the group.

For Kiryu father and daughter, it was the sa, they too needed to probe how to interact with Kagura Hikaru.

Kiryu Hina might be familiar with him, but she had never cohabited with Kagura Hikaru, and a person's ho behavior is different from their public deanor.

After packing up his luggage quickly, Kagura Hikaru went out with them.

Kiryu Masaki drove out a rcedes from the parking lot, carrying the family of four towards the shopping center.

Kagura Hikaru had always thought Tokyo was a small place, and his view hadn't changed till now.

In fact, it had even intensified.

Because they had rely gone to a shopping center, and yet they had bumped into an acquaintance.

eting her under these circumstances, it was hard to say whether it was good or bad.

"Chiyoko!"

Aunt Risa, his mother, noticed the person first, joyfully rushing over to her.

Ayakoji Chiyoko, holding shopping bags, was bewildered by the hug, "Aunt Risa, how co you..."

She tilted her head and saw Kagura Hikaru and the Kiryu father and daughter standing not far away, then suddenly fell silent.
