The Elegant Life of the Maodao Family

The reason why Mao Dao-shi was depressed due to his relationship with his lover was that he was really ashamed to worry about Mao Dao-shi.What a fool.He already couldn't help but love Mao Dao, but he didn't express this emotion obviously.Mao Dao might want more sweet words, but Shengsi felt that the relationship between the two of them was already so strong that no words were needed.

While Seiji hurriedly changed his clothes and washed his face, Hatano came in with coffee.

"Good morning."

"Sorry, I slept in so late."

Seiji felt as if he had been apologizing since yesterday, and Hatano seemed to feel the same way, and said to him with a slight smile, "Please don't be so polite, treat this place as your own home and relax."

After drinking a cup of hot coffee, Shengsi Yiyue went to the balcony where he had afternoon tea yesterday.Lace curtains fluttered in the wind in front of the open floor-to-ceiling windows, and outside was a sunny day with blinding sunlight.

Ms. Mao Dao didn't seem to come yet, but Secretary Koizumi sat at the round table first.As soon as Koizumi saw Seiji, he showed a bright smile suitable for a refreshing morning, and got up to greet him.

"I caused you trouble yesterday."

Seiji remembered that he had heard that Koizumi had sent him to bed with another person, so he apologized after saying hello.Koizumi smiled and shook his head, "No."

"I just took a shortcut in the corridor and opened the door. The strong young man in our family alone is strong enough to move the doctor."

"Ah, is that so?"

In other words, was he being picked up and carried to the room like a woman?Shengsi's face turned red, so it's understandable that Mao Dao would want him to sleep in that room... I guess.

"Doctor, you are very thin. I will definitely feed you well this morning."

Koizumi winked at him very playfully.

When Shengsi sat down with an embarrassed expression, Mao Dao came.Everything from last night revived in Shengsi's mind like a volcanic eruption.Seiji didn't know what expression to use to greet Chiushima-san, but Chiushima-san's attitude was completely the same as usual, sitting in a seat facing the garden, he said in a leisurely and calm voice, "It's really a good job. morning."

Shengsi took a sneak peek at Mao Daoshi tremblingly.

Mao Dao's expression seemed to be very satisfied, but it was not obvious that there was a special change, but Shengsi vaguely understood the reason.Miyajima is so beautiful that it is not even inferior to the beautiful green grass that seems to be shining.

At this moment, he suddenly met Mao Dao's four eyes.

Chiushima-shi showed a somewhat complicated expression, but it was only for a moment.

"...Good morning, Seiji."

Seiji was so shocked that the napkin that was about to be spread on his lap almost slipped from his hands. Being called by Mao Dao's name was such a shocking thing.Because Seiji has never been called by Mao Dao so far, and it is expected that if he wants to be called, he will also be called Doctor or Takakura.Most importantly, Seiji didn't think Mao Dao would remember his full name either.

"I'm so glad we were able to meet up again this morning."

Mao Dao continued to say so.

"I did something very rude last night. I hope you can forgive me. I... like you very much and want to cherish you. If you hate me and never come to me again, I will be very lonely."

Shengsi quickly shook his hand in front of his chest.

"You're not being rude, it's just that I'm rude."

"I'm relieved when you say that, but you didn't say anything rude."

Koizumi quietly looked at Maodao and Shengsi.Like someone I heard from Mao Dao-shi at some point, he seems to be a quick-witted and polite person.Seiji also felt that Koizumi seemed to have correctly understood the meaning of Maodao's use of the No.1 name and calling the other party's name.

The plates of breakfast were delivered to the table one by one under the service of Mr. Hatano. As Koizumi said, the fluffy and soft egg rolls, thick slices of ham, and toast, etc., were delivered to Seiji in special quantities. many.Seiji calmly accepted the kindness of everyone in the Kashima mansion, and ate a large amount of food that was usually unimaginable to his heart's content.

"If you want to have lunch in the garden, you'd better prepare another set of clothes for the doctor."

Koizumi said as if suddenly thinking of it.

"I guess it should be the same size as Mr. Sumito, right? I can prepare it for you right away smoothly."

"Uh...that..."

"Mr. Chengren, what about the riding clothes?"

After thinking about it for a while, Chiushima-san replied, "No need this time."

"There's no reason to have to do a lot at once, because he's supposed to come again."

"That's right. Doctor, I don't think it's possible to visit all the gardens here in one day, and it's not just the gardens that are worth seeing. Based on the interests of the previous owners, the art gallery in the mansion displays paintings and You won’t be bored even on a rainy day with exquisite items such as carvings.”

"Art Gallery...?"

"Although it is as narrow and long as the corridor, but in terms of location, it belongs to the scope of the room. The basic design of the Chishima mansion is based on the British castle, so there will be parts with a strange layout."

"This seems to be a room made so that ladies with long hemlines in medieval dresses can move around on days when the weather is bad and they can't take a walk outside."

It is also rare for Mao Dao to take the initiative to explain so.

When the meal was almost finished, Koizumi got up first and left the table.And Hatano's is the black tea for Maodao's and Shengsi's refills.

When the two were alone, Mao Dao showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"He said... I really want to know what you and such a beautiful young doctor are doing in the name of health checks."

"Let's not kiss anymore. I'll be sorry for him."

"He also knows that when I face something beautiful, I want to kiss no matter what it is."

Seiji was speechless for a moment.

Is that all right?

"Won't he be jealous?"

"If you're jealous, that's what I want."

No, you're usually jealous, right?Even if it was him, he should feel very unhappy in his heart. It must be that Mao Dao didn't notice it.

"As I said before, I saw an old doll with beautiful eyes in an antique shop, right?"

Ignoring Seiji's confusion, Maojima suddenly changed the subject.

"Um."

I remember hearing him say a long time ago that it was bought by someone else before I bought it.

"I really think it's a good thing I didn't buy that doll. Even if you kiss the doll, you won't respond. You will respond to me well. You can breathe alive, and the color of your eyes will always change subtly. Happy. Warm skin, heaving chest, and most importantly, talking to me like this.”

Seiji didn't know how to react, so he listened without saying a word.

Chishima looked at him with a more sincere expression than usual.

"I was thinking last night... what I want must be friends."

Shengsi's chest felt hot.

If you don't dislike yourself, you can be Mao Dao's friend for as long as you want.

"Me too."

Hearing Seiji's answer, Chishima smiled at him as if he was relieved.

It was past eleven o'clock when we reached the garden.

Mao Dao said, "I'm not familiar with the garden." Therefore, he let Koizumi lead the way, and only said that it would be better to start viewing from the outside.

The front yard at the front entrance of Maodao Mansion is a large parking lot covered with cobblestones, and Seiji usually comes in here to visit.The distance from the gate should be about [-] meters, right?There is a fountain in the center. The water draws a perfect arc and reflects the sunlight, which can always soothe his fatigue from the long journey from the station.

Looking at the vast mansion from the front, there is a restaurant on the right side where I had dinner last night, and the kitchen seems to be on the first floor of that side. Maybe that's why, the garden next to herb garden after going out from the side door garden.If you follow the roaming path extending from the right side of the front yard, the herb garden is on the left side of the path.

"Sage, cologne mint, bergamot, comfrey..."

Koizumi stated in advance that "only the introduction I know" pointed to the plant descriptions one by one.

The middle-aged gardener, who was tidying the garden at this time, took off his hat and bowed when he saw the figures of the three of them.Seiji imitated Koizumi's gesture and said good afternoon.Mao Dao, on the other hand, looked like he was not doing his own business, standing a little behind, looking at the elegant flower beds dotted with white and shades of pink.The slender leaves swaying in the wind are very lovely.

"This is thyme and chamomile. It refers to the garden of Sissinghurst Castle, which is known as the most beautiful garden in Britain. There are more than 30 kinds of herbs planted. The overall landscaping is more about ornamental than practical."

On the right side of the path is a turf-covered, one-step raised land, and the surrounding area feels like a slender garden with delicate and colorful flowers and plants growing naturally like lace weaving.The view is blocked by a long stone wall with climbing vines, and it is impossible to see what is on the other side.

"Behind the wall is the secret garden."

Mao Dao said so.

"Secret Garden, is it locked?"

Seiji's curiosity was aroused, and Chiushima-sama showed a smile that deliberately whetted his appetite.

"Let's take it for the fun of your next visit. It's locked, so you can't see it from anywhere. There's a big pond surrounded by unknown trees and bushes, and it's dark even in broad daylight. It's very comfortable to take a nap there... It's okay to take off all your clothes, and I want to see you take off too."

"You... you said that again..."

Seiji glanced at Koizumi who was walking ahead to make sure he wasn't paying attention, and then quietly blamed Mao Dao for his bold speech.

"Will Chishima-san take it off too?"

"I just want to see you naked."

Maojima seems to like watching it very much
