Since it wasn't Xue Jian Jun.
A deep killing intent had begun to well up in Xia Bai He's eyes.
“Since it wasn't related to Xue Jian Jun, was it related to Aoi-kun?”
Xia Bai He's voice remained calm.
But those who knew her would know.
What kind of terror lay beneath this calm voice.
Speaking of Aoi Rento.
Eriri subconsciously furrowed her brows.
“I still have to work on my summer comic book, I'm going back to my room, bye, Mom!”
After speaking, Eriri ran up the stairs.
Xia Bai He put her left hand on her face, thinking.
Looking at her own daughter's reaction.
It seemed that something had indeed happened.
So, should she have been more decisive in transferring that person out of Class E back then?
Thinking about this, Xia Bai He shook her head again.
The current situation had already become this way.
There was no point in pursuing past mistakes.
Intervening now would affect Eriri.
Even if she had to intervene, she should do so when it was more decisive.
Besides, that guy shouldn't be able to make any waves.
After all, Xue Jian Jun was there.
With Xue Jian Jun's methods and mind, that person shouldn't be able to do anything bad.
Love is something that is better to break off early than to drag on.
Regarding Xue Jian Yuan and Aoi Rento.
Xia Bai He had a deep understanding of both.
During elementary school, Eriri was bullied.
Xia Bai He noticed something was wrong and immediately intervened.
She thoroughly investigated the whole incident and immediately transferred Eriri from her original elementary school.
Luckily, Xia Bai He discovered it early.
Otherwise, Eriri would be ruined for life.
But transferring schools was not the end of the whole incident, it was just a crucial turning point.
Eriri's reason for becoming a shut-in was largely influenced by Xia Bai He.
After all, Xia Bai He was a shut-in herself.
Therefore, Xia Bai He did not have the normal parent's aversion to Aoi Rento's shut-in identity.
But after the bullying incident, Xia Bai He had a different opinion of Aoi Rento.
Although the root cause of Eriri's bullying was her being a shut-in.
But the process was worth looking into.
Aoi Rento had been an ardent fan of otaku culture since he was a child.
So, he would 'preach' to those around him.
That is, promoting otaku culture.
And he was a terrible reader of the air.
As a result, he naturally became disliked by others in elementary school.
And Eriri, as a fellow shut-in.
She was actually different from Aoi Rento.
Eriri's love for otaku culture was more inclined towards solitary appreciation.
Even if she did participate in doujin activities because of her love, it was separated from her daily identity.
But Aoi Rento dragged Eriri into it.
Because he recklessly discussed otaku culture with Eriri at school.
This led to Eriri being disliked as well, and then the bullying happened.
Xia Bai He, who had investigated the whole incident clearly, saw it clearly.
Aoi Rento was the kind of guy who would do whatever he wanted, with a passion and without scruple.
Aoi Rento in elementary school might not have been very thoughtful.
But his instinct made him drag Eriri into the incident.
Because Eriri was a shining princess.
Unlike ordinary people, as the daughter of a diplomat, a true princess, Eriri's existence was a resource in itself.
As long as people knew that Eriri was a shut-in.
Others would inevitably think: 'Even that princess is a shut-in, maybe being a shut-in isn't so bad'.
This was something that Xia Bai He couldn't tolerate.
As an upper class member of Sakura Nation, a true being who possessed wealth and status.
Xia Bai He's only Achilles' heel was her daughter, Eriri.
Eriri could not study, she could not be outstanding, she could be worthless.
As long as she was happy.
This was the reflection of Xia Bai He's heart.
If this had happened in high school.
Xia Bai He would probably have taken action against that Aoi Rento.
Because it was elementary school, and the unintentional actions of elementary school students, Xia Bai He reluctantly disregarded it.
Actually, after transferring Eriri.
Xia Bai He worried for a long time.
She was afraid that Eriri would not be able to get out of the shadow of bullying.
And the influence of Aoi Rento.
Eriri has always been the kind of person with a simple mind.
Although it was discovered early.
That person's influence on Eriri was not yet great.
But memories will always beautify a person.
Maybe after being separated, emotions would increase instead.
It would be best if someone could step up at this time.
Luckily... after transferring, another person appeared in Eriri's vision.
To be honest, when Xia Bai He first saw Xue Jian Yuan.
Her thoughts were a bit extreme.
‘Anyone will do, just get my daughter, even if you're a jerk afterwards, it doesn't matter!’
Xia Bai He even had this thought.
In Xia Bai He's opinion, having relationship experience early was definitely a good thing.
As long as she could get out of the shadow of Aoi Rento.
It's better to have more people in your heart than to hang on to one tree.
But Xue Jian Yuan's existence was truly beyond Xia Bai He's expectations.
It had only been a week since the transfer.
Eriri had regained her smile.
Xia Bai He asked indirectly, and knew it was Xue Jian Yuan who helped her integrate into the class.
It was hard to imagine that an elementary school student could easily break down the established social barriers in the class.
He single-handedly pushed Eriri in, even pushing her to the position of everyone's darling.
Such methods beyond his age aroused Xia Bai He's curiosity about Xue Jian Yuan.
When the two officially established their relationship, which was during junior high.
Xia Bai He conducted a thorough investigation of Xue Jian Yuan.
And what she found out once again exceeded Xia Bai He's expectations.
‘The Xue Jian Family’ had disappeared.
For any child who hadn't gone to junior high, the first reaction to something like this would be to collapse.
But that child.
He went back to Chiba from Tokyo alone.
Then he took care of everything at home.
Then, with everything he could take, he returned to Tokyo from Chiba.
Just looking at the paper documents, Xia Bai He could imagine that scene of wolves surrounding him.
The ‘uncle’ and ‘aunt’ from other branches of the family, all rushing forward with sinister smiles.
A bunch of adults surrounding a child, all wanting to reach out and bite off a piece of him.
Just thinking about it sent chills down her spine.
