Minamoto Senya's life in the past was not easy.
There is a sense of happiness, but it is hard to call it carefree.
The accidental death of her biological father was the trigger. Witnessing her mother crying late at night forced the then young girl to grow up prematurely and shoulder the burden of life.
At that time, she not only had to take the initiative to be sensible and act as a half-housekeeper, helping to deal with various trivial matters at home, caring about and encouraging her mother's mood, but also had to take care of the youngest and most emotionally frustrated sister in the family.
Her precocious and independent personality, her proficient housework skills, and her cooking skills that far surpassed those of most girls of her age were all developed and mastered at that time.
If nothing unexpected happens, her future life will probably continue like this.
In their small family of three, she plays the role of both elder sister and housekeeper.
Continue to live such an ordinary life that is hard but also persistent.
Until Hasegawa Kiyoshi walked into her life.
Just like a ship drifting on the waves sees a shore where it can dock, a lost bird finds a shelter from the wind and rain.
Everything is getting better.
No matter what kind of problem it is, it no longer seems to be a problem in front of him.
There was a deep ditch that was difficult for her and required great effort to cross.
But to him, it seemed like just an insignificant gap, not even as wide as his feet, and he could easily step over it.
He said, it's okay, it's okay.
Then everything really got better.
Not long after the new family was established, he made Rika, who was going further and further down the road of autism and could not be pulled back no matter what, turn back into the troublemaker he had not seen for a long time.
The moment she heard that Sanada's father had an accident, she was at a loss. The fear of loss she had once again came over her. She was not relieved until she knew that he was fine. However, she was also worried about the livelihood problem that would follow.
At this time, it was natural for Kiyoshi to step forward and easily negotiate with Sanada's father's boss, in exchange for a part-time job with a very good income, which perfectly solved the family's somewhat tight financial expenses.
From then on, all the things that made the family's living conditions better and better were related to him.
Just a casual mention of it earned him the gratitude of the great pianist, and the thank-you money allowed my father to open a new store on his own.
He was gifted in kendo from the very beginning, and his skills amazed everyone in the competition. He took on advertising endorsements in the name of his genius.
After that, he also showed great talent in the field of piano, and then he moved into a new home with his family. His quality of life made a qualitative leap in a short period of time, as if he had taken a rocket...
When Minamoto Senya thinks back now, she still feels incredible from time to time and feels that the past lacked a sense of reality.
But this is the reality. Although it is difficult to confirm, it is happening around us and even in front of us.
Slowing down her pace, quietly and softly, Senya came to the living room and came to the sofa.
She looked at Kiyoshi sleeping on the sofa with tenderness on her face. She felt that she could not accurately observe his sleeping face while standing, so she slowly squatted down and moved in front of him.
As they deliberately moved closer, the distance between their faces was now only a dozen centimeters.
It's all thanks to him... that I can have such a carefree and almost dreamlike life now.
Senya never told anyone that when she was going through the most difficult period with her mother and sister, she had experienced a period of extreme inferiority.
The lack of fatherly love is one aspect, but more importantly, it is due to various reasons such as unstable life, confusion about the future, and lack of security.
And now, all these disturbing and unpleasant feelings have long disappeared.
And this is all because of him.
Kiyoshi...
He looked so peaceful as he slept, his breathing was even, and there was a small pillow under his knees.
With such strong defense, it was really hard for Senya to force herself not to do something.
But the identity weighing on her head was a problem, so she only dared to reach out her hand slowly, gently poked his fingertips, and tidied up his slightly messy bangs on his forehead.
Just this small action made Senya's heart beat faster and her face flushed, as if she had experienced some thrilling adventure.
That's all, it can't go on any further.
Her gaze lingered on Kiyoshi's handsome face for more than ten seconds, and then focused on his lips for the same amount of time. Only then did Senya turn her head with difficulty and slowly stand up.
She tilted her head to look at the clock in the living room. It was not yet three o'clock in the afternoon, so it was still early and too early to prepare dinner.
Her gaze couldn't help but fall on Kiyoshi again.
But then again, I heard him say in the morning that he would be back early in the afternoon, but I didn't expect him to be back so early.
I also changed into home clothes such as T-shirt and shorts when going out in the morning.
Large tracts of her arms were exposed, her muscles visibly well-proportioned and well-defined. The top was slightly pulled up, revealing a bit of her abdominal skin. Her abs also exuded both strength and beauty, reminiscent of the human reliefs she'd seen in art class at school, so perfect they could rival works of art...
"Bang!"
A slight noise appeared in the living room.
Senya slowly lowered her hands from either side of her cheeks.
She felt that she had really gotten into her head and actually found Kiyoshi quite attractive at the moment.
What was even more terrifying was that she really wanted to do something to him right now, as he was not on guard.
The plot of the family ethics drama happened to me...
People can't, or at least shouldn't.
Cherish the hard-earned happy life you have now!
Minamoto Senya fanned her cheeks with her hands, her whole body flushed as she walked away to her room on the second floor.
Then everything returned to the quiet living room.
Hasegawa Kiyoshi, who seemed to be sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes.
He thought about it thoughtfully, repeatedly savoring the extremely passionate look that Senya had just given him, and the smile on his lips grew wider.
He raised his palm, clenched it, and unclenched it.
The benefits of growth are obvious.
As he grew older, his male characteristics became more and more obvious, and it became increasingly impossible for Senya to ignore them.
This is a good phenomenon.
Judging from Senya's reaction and expression just now, she has gone from a state where she was aware and able to suppress it, to a stage where she is aware but gradually losing control.
In criminal psychology, there is a very well-known and authoritative theory, namely the "broken window effect".
Researchers believe that if minor disorderly behaviors in the environment are not corrected in a timely manner, they will induce more people to follow suit, ultimately leading to more serious crimes and misfortunes in social order.
This psychological logic actually has many common examples in reality.
For example, if someone starts throwing garbage on a clean roadside and no one stops it, then this place may soon become a garbage dump.
For example, if the windows of a vehicle parked on the roadside are broken, the vehicle is very likely to be stolen before long.
This includes many logics such as suggestive connivance and environmental shaping behavior.
Hasegawa Kiyoshi didn't think of this effect for no reason.
He believes that the broken window effect can also be applied to his current relationship with Senya.
If Senya, who is very conflicted, can truly overcome the psychological barrier and take the first step, then many things that happen later will not seem so difficult because of the first step of crossing the line.
By then, because of the first experience, the psychological resistance will be weakened in disguise, and everything will go smoothly.
Well, now we have to think carefully about how to make Senya take the first step.
Hasegawa Kiyoshi straightened up unconsciously while thinking about these questions, and the next moment he suddenly leaned back on the sofa and quickly closed his eyes.
After a second, he quickly grabbed the small pillow and stuffed it under his legs.
Everything was almost the same as before, without any flaws.
After a while, Senya returned to the living room.
She glanced at Kiyoshi and found that he had not woken up yet and still seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Come to think of it, when I got up at twelve o'clock last night to go to the bathroom, I could indeed see a faint light coming from his room through the floor-to-ceiling window.
He had mentioned before that there would be a writing competition for a literary science fiction award in May, and he seemed to want to hurry up and write the novel he had already conceived in order to participate in the competition.
I don't know how late he stayed up, but he got up at around seven this morning. So it's normal for him to be a little sleep deprived.
Senya tiptoed down and sat down on the sofa on the other side.
She had just gone upstairs to confirm that Rika was not at home, and by the way, she also changed into cool home clothes.
The pure cotton shorts barely covered her thighs, perfectly revealing her white legs curled up on the sofa. The tight-fitting vest tightly bound the roundness of her chest and outlined her flat and narrow waist, but it missed the soft and tender shoulders with a girlish pink hue, which were puffy like milk pudding, and also revealed the peacock blue spaghetti straps...
