The next day, September 15th.
"Good morning, sister-in-law."
Aoyama Xiu Xin greeted as usual.
"Good morning, Xiu Xin." As Aoyama Haruko bent over to wipe the table, some unpleasant memories came to mind. She quickly stood up straight, fearing Xiu Xin might take the opportunity to bump against her.
Seeing her reaction, Xiu Xin couldn't help but smirk. He did not tease her but instead said, "Sister-in-law, let's go out to sea this weekend for some fun."
His sister-in-law's birthday happened to be this weekend, but she had clearly forgotten. She only remembered the birthdays of her own family members, and Xiu Xin wanted to celebrate hers.
Because Aoyama Haruko was acutely aware of Xiu Xin's intentions, she immediately became vigilant and suggested, "Let's invite Ling along, the more the merrier."
She didn't feel at ease about going out to sea alone.
Not just uneasy about Xiu Xin.
But also uneasy about herself.
