Just as Sayuri Sawamura finished her work nearby and was about to walk home.

I spotted a familiar figure by the roadside.

It was her daughter, Eriri.

But at that time, Eriri was clearly in a hurry to leave, and it seemed like she was crying.

Before Sawamura Sayuri could even call out, she had no choice but to chase after them.

Then we arrived at this alley.

Then they spotted Eriri, who was smiling but with tears clearly on her face, and He Qian beside her.

"Did I see correctly before?"

Remembering that Eriri seemed to have cried earlier, Sayuri Sawamura narrowed her eyes.

She was a little angry at that moment.

Although my daughter has all sorts of eccentricities, such as drawing in notebooks.

But generally speaking, he is a kind and good child.

Now she's actually crying!

Someone must have done something. Almost instantly, Sayuri Sawamura locked her gaze on He Qian beside her.

Although Eriri is smiling now, seemingly because of He Qian, her earlier crying might also have been related to him!

However, this was just a suspicion. Sawamura Sayuri, with a somewhat adult smile on her face, spoke up:

"Huh? Eriri, you... this person?"

As she said this, she seemed extremely surprised, as if she had just discovered He Qian.

Actually, this was a request for Eriri to introduce the other party so that Sayuri Sawamura could get to know them.

After all, she had a basic understanding of her daughter's social circle.

But there was absolutely no information about the person in front of them.

They must be Eriri's new friends or something?

At that moment, upon hearing Sawamura Sayuri's familiar voice, Eriri, who was laughing, was completely stunned. Her surprised expression made Sawamura Sayuri laugh even harder.

Seeing this, Eriri hurriedly asked:

"Mom, why are you here?"

"Hehe, I just went to do some things nearby and bought some groceries. Then I happened to spot you and thought I'd come and check on you."

Without mentioning at all that Eriri seemed to be on the verge of tears when she first discovered her, or her current tear-streaked face, Sayuri Sawamura answered very calmly.

After all, she knew her daughter's personality. If she brought this up here, her daughter would definitely deny it and then give a bunch of excuses that no one else would believe.

Since that's the case, let's just not mention it at all.

Thinking this, Sawamura Sayuri smiled and looked at He Qian, asking:

"So who is this handsome young man?"

"Hello, I'm He Qian, Sawamura-san's classmate, and also a member of the same club."

When asked by Sayuri Sawamura, He Qian answered before Eriri could speak.

However, upon hearing this answer, Sayuri Sawamura narrowed her eyes:

"Sawamura-san?"

She doesn't even call him 'Eriri', so their relationship doesn't seem to be very good?

But when she thought about her own daughter's troublesome personality, Sayuri Sawamura suddenly understood.

Then she smiled and asked:

"'He Qian,' is he from China? I hope my Eriri hasn't caused you any trouble."

"Alright, alright, that's all for the introductions. Mom, let's go home now. And He Qianjun, you go home first!"

Seeing that Sayuri Sawamura was about to chatter away with Chihiro, Eriri quickly interrupted them.

They just wanted to run away.

There was nothing she could do; looking at the two people talking, she couldn't help but have a bad feeling.

Especially now that Eriri has gradually regained consciousness.

Thinking back to how earnestly I had made a promise to He Qian before...

Eriri felt a wave of shyness wash over her!

What am I even doing?

Why did I suddenly lose my mind and ask He Qian for such a promise?

Who knows how awkward it will be to get along with each other in the future!

[Ding, 'High-quality woman' Eriri has been detected to be shy due to the host. 3000 energy points have been gained.]

In short, Eriri is now going to stick to her usual way of doing things: if she's shy, she'll just run away.

Let tomorrow's self handle the rest.

Now that Eriri has calmed down, she definitely doesn't want to meet or have any further interaction with He Qian for the time being.

The moment she saw He Qian's face, she would think of what she had just done, and her face would turn as red as a kiwi.

At this moment, she looked at her daughter, who was blushing with embarrassment and eager to run away.

Sawamura Sayuri was taken aback.

Then it dawned on me; there was no need to guess.

My daughter has become the same as before.

Whenever I encounter something embarrassing, my first thought is to run away.

However, this put Sawamura Sayuri at ease.

This at least shows that He Qian was not the one who bullied Eriri and made her cry.

Then, a hint of curiosity appeared in her gaze as she looked at He Qian, someone she had never known before.

In other words, this is a friend that her daughter recently made, but it is this very person who can make Eriri act this way.

Something must have happened between the two of them!

[Ding, 'High-quality woman' Sawamura Sayuri has been detected to have aroused curiosity towards the host. 1000 energy points have been gained.]

But despite her curiosity, Sayuri Sawamura now prioritizes things herself.

The top priority right now is to find out why Eriri cried before.

So all we need to do now is wait until we get home and ask them in detail.

In any case, Sayuri Sawamura is extremely experienced in dealing with her own daughter.

They can often glean everything that has happened in just a few words.

Once the specifics of what happened are clear, she'll consider how to deal with the guy who made Eriri cry!

After all, although Eriri's father died in a car accident many years ago, she, Sayuri Sawamura, is still the eldest daughter of the Sawamura family.

Moreover, Eriri's grandparents in England are still alive.

Sayuri Sawamura wouldn't be so bad as to swallow her anger even when her own daughter is crying.

Thinking this, Sawamura Sayuri smiled and spoke:

"Okay, let's hurry home then."

She then waved goodbye to He Qian.

Eriri, on the other hand, had already run away shyly after saying those words earlier.

There wasn't even time to say goodbye to He Qian.

There's no way around it; right now, Eriri probably can't even explain herself clearly to He Qian on her own.

He Qian didn't seem to care about this.

After all, he could tell from Eriri's reaction that she had come to her senses and was now in a state of extreme shyness.

Immediately afterwards, He Qian also headed towards the tram station.
