Osaka Prefecture, Fukushima-ku, yakiniku restaurant.

In the corner of a bustling barbecue restaurant.

Four beautifully dressed girls sit across from each other.

Liangying Tianhai held back for a long time before swallowing the questioning words on his lips, but listening to the blind voice in the microphone in his ear, the whole person was depressed in an instant.

She stirred the drink at hand, took a reluctant sip, and glanced at her phone reluctantly.

But there was no imaginary reply message, she was a little confused, obviously she was so sweet and so crooked, why did her predecessors hang up the phone.

"What's wrong with Tianhai?" Emi Takagi glanced at her curiously, flipped through the meat with an iron clip in her hand and asked at the same time, "Why did Gen-senpai hang up so quickly?" ”

Liangying Tianhai was stunned when he heard this, and said with a slight smile on his delicate face: "He may be doing business." ”

She is different from the past, after this period of baptism in the Actually Pavilion, she is no longer the guy who used to be angry, and she also knows that the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, so she has begun to be conservative in her speech.

"Doing business? It's already past seven o'clock in the evening, what are you doing when it's time to eat? ”

Hearing her answer, combined with the somewhat reluctant smile on her face, Naoko Kahara, who was sitting next to her, looked at the time and asked with some confusion.

"It's true that I'm not dating anyone else."

"I'm just saying, Emi is too ruthless, you directly put a hat on Tianhai's head!"

"Hee-hee, just kidding, who would take it seriously."

"Maybe Tianhai is serious, after all, he is going to be a wife in the future, this kind of thing is very common!"

Emi Takagi and Naoko Kahara said one sentence after another, and it was obvious that they were joking, but each sentence stimulated the nerves of Liangying Tianhai.

Because she recalled the phone call just now, she found a few suspicious points, and now she doesn't think right.

Obviously, the senior answered his phone and responded to himself, but he just called him in his throat and didn't reply, no matter how she thought about it, she suddenly remembered the plot of the movie.

It seems that when there are other women around, if there are other bewitching sluts who call and suddenly disrupt the atmosphere, men will choose to be silent.

So if you continue to reason according to this logic, you are the bewitching slut?

Liangying Tianhai's little face was slightly bitter, and he quickly dispelled this thought, shook his head and denied his conjecture, he was the one standing in the light.

But at the same time, she also remembered that when she answered the phone just now, when the senior didn't speak but didn't hang up, there seemed to be more than one breathing sound in the microphone.

"Is Amami's boyfriend amazing?"

While she was thinking wildly, the most faceted of the four girls suddenly spoke curiously.

Liangying Tianhai glanced at the other party when he heard this.

The girl's name is Keiko Sakai, and the three of them are classmates from junior high school to high school, but they dropped out of school after graduating from high school, which will sell clothes in shopping malls.

But after graduation, I didn't cut off contact, and I would get together when I was free, but the other party was about to get married.

And she glanced at the other party's slightly round abdomen.

Even if you wear an apron when you eat barbecue, it has a round shape that rises slightly.

"Very rich, very background, anyway, I only met at the beginning, so I directly gave Tianhai a blue balloon."

Emi Takagi said bluntly and seriously.

"Really, so powerful?" Keiko Sakai covered her mouth in surprise, smiled and looked at her wrist: "I'm a little envious of what I said." ”

Feeling the gaze, Liangying Tianhai nodded and said, "The seniors are really good to me. ”

She didn't even want to come today.

Since she woke up to the tea house, she began to deliberately alienate Naoko Kahara and Emi Takagi, but then found that the relationship for so many years is really not that you can throw it away, and you can't refuse when you come to the door every day.

What's more, she also discovered that she was the biggest green tea, as if there was no need to be afraid.

"Isn't it, Keiko, are you still envious? We all envy you, you have a boyfriend who has been dating for so long and is willing to spend money, but it's not like the one in my family."

Emi Takagi picked up a piece of barbecue, stuffed it into her mouth sullenly, and stopped talking halfway through.

But everyone can hear the sourness in their mouths.

Everyone didn't take it seriously, although she complained all day long that her boyfriend didn't love her, but she didn't succeed in breaking up after talking about it for a few years, even if she was ambiguous with others.

Keiko Sakai smiled slightly, as if she was very satisfied with the contrast between this fat man and others, and said modestly: "It's okay, Watanabe-kun is not very rich, but he often prepares small surprises for me." ”

"Aren't you getting married next month? Look at your belly for about three months, no matter how big it is, if you wear a wedding dress, it will definitely not look as good as it is now. ”

Emi Takagi took a sip of barley tea, looked at her round belly, and reminded her earnestly.

"I know, so it's early." Keiko Sakai smiled and said, "You're all going to come when you get married." ”

"Of course, I'm the best at eating and drinking!"

"Just thinking about eating and drinking, you are already in your twenties, and you have to go to the wedding!"

"I know, so I have to eat more to get back to my roots, or I'll go out with the gift."

"Then you can't talk like that."

"Oops, we're all so acquainted."

Naoko Kagawara is the most heartless, and she is also very smug when she speaks, but she is brainy, Emi Takagi patted her head angrily, and the two of them pinched each other.

Keiko Sakai, on the other hand, smiled and watched them play with each other, as if she had the confidence of a married woman.

Liangying Tianhai was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Keiko, why did you and Watanabe-kun get married so early, I thought it would be another two years, and at this time last year, you still said that you wanted to play for two more years." ”

"I don't know which comes first, tomorrow or accident."

Keiko Sakai paused, lowered her head and touched her stomach dotingly, and explained softly:

"Because I accidentally had a child, I don't want to kill him now, so I can only marry him early."

"It's good to get married early." Emi Takagi, who had just had her hair ripped off, interjected and complained: "I want to mention marriage, and that stupid guy in my family deliberately avoids it!" ”

"After all, I'm still in school."

"Anyway, it's not as good as your husband, the last time I saw you post news, now I use the mystery of the sea blue, I asked him to buy an ordinary brand and grind it for a long time, your husband is so good, and he is so intimate and knows that it hurts."

"It must have hurt you more after pregnancy, right?"

"It's really more painful than before, but it's not much different, it's not to the point of being on call."

Although he said that, the deliberately relaxed and freehand tone, as well as the appearance of obviously getting cheap and selling well, Liangying Tianhai can see it at a glance.

She looked at the other party's stomach, and remembered Yuan Laiguang's decisiveness when she hung up the phone just now, and felt very depressed in her heart, and sighed with her head slightly lowered.

But as soon as she looked down, she saw that her belly was also bulging, slightly bulging outward, and it looked a little strange, even similar to Sakai's.

Liangying Tianhai was stunned, she sat here and didn't start eating yet, how big is this belly like someone is pregnant, she can't ship it herself, she tried to shoot it twice and it was banging.

"Uh-"

Looking at her stomach for a few seconds, she suddenly felt a feeling of happiness to her heart, and she trembled instantly.

An unthinkable idea arose.

But before she could think about it, she suddenly felt a breeze coming from her left, accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps, followed by an angry shout.

"Emi Sakai, what the hell are you doing!?"

This angry shout made the four girls present suddenly blindfolded, and Liangying Tianhai almost moved the fetus.

There was a sudden silence in the store.

Many diners came to look at it.

Keiko Sakai was stunned for a moment, but when she came to her senses, a look of shame flashed on her face, and she looked at a few friends next to her and gritted her teeth and asked, "Watanabe, what do you mean?" ”

"What do I mean, you don't know?"

"You almost scared the kids!"

"Then you say this child is mine or not?"

The hurried conversation between the two made everyone present unresponsive, but Keiko Sakai flashed a trace of panic in her eyes when she heard this, and hurriedly said:

"How much sin I will suffer when I have a child in the future, you only care if it is yours or not, do you love me like this?"

Her harsh words even made the man next to Liangying Tianhai stunned, but in the blink of an eye, the latter's face became gloomy, and his palm touched his pocket.

He fumbled twice, threw out a stack of photos from his pocket, and even slipped from the table and fell into Keiko Sakai's arms, scattered all over the table, and the other three women present all looked at it.

"And who's the man in this picture!?"

The man asked, his eyes red, pointing to the photo.

With a clear look at the content on the photo.

Keiko Sakai's face suddenly turned pale.

"He is just an ordinary colleague, he happened to pass by when I drank too much outside that day, so he drove me, what's wrong, so you suspect that you don't have a car yourself and can't have a car to send me on a rainy day?"

Keiko Sakai held on to her composure, and her face was unnatural to explain, but as she explained, she gradually became more and more confident, and finally even tough.

"What about this one? And this one! ”

Seeing that she was still arrogant, the man took out several photos from the bottom of the pile of photos as if he was crazy with red eyes, and held them in his hand and held them in the air.

"I've been following you for a long time, and you're going to look for him every Friday night, and you're at that hotel in Koteramachi, every time without exception."

"You're following me!" Keiko Sakai's eyes widened.

The man seemed to be extremely angry, but he didn't expect that she still cared about other places at this time, and his body trembled slightly while laughing angrily and said:

"These photos were taken by the detective, he only gave them to me today, I didn't expect you to be such a person!"

"Last time I went to bed, I also checked your phone, you are very smart, almost all the chat history is deleted, but now many software will automatically cache, and there will be a record in the folder."

"I didn't believe it at first, until I came back from a business trip and didn't tell you, I wanted to go directly to the mall downstairs to pick you up, but I saw you being picked up by another car, so I made up my mind to hire a private detective."

Even though he was trembling with anger, the man did not lose his mind and told the source of the truth.

"You're peeking at my phone!?"

Keiko Sakai also had red eyes, but what she cared about was not what the man in front of her who was about to become her husband said, but that she was peeked at her phone.

The man's body trembled even more.

In Liangying Tianhai's line of sight, he could clearly see the anger of the other party's nails deeply embedded in his palm, but after a while, the other party's hand suddenly loosened.

"I'm still in the dark if I don't look at it, I'm afraid this kid isn't mine, it's almost three months ago, but at that time I was on a business trip to Tottori Prefecture, and I didn't see you much when I came back at the end of the month."

The man stood in place and was silent for a moment, ignoring the gazes around him, revisiting the past bit by bit.

Keiko Sakai stood up with her stomach up, feeling the strange eyes of the people around her and her friends, her hair tingling: "Anyway, the child will call you dad in the future, why do you always hold on, why don't you believe me?" ”

"Then wait for the child to be born and do a paternity test."

Listening to this sarcastic remark, the man was already expressionless, and looked at her with gloomy eyes.

Keiko Sakai held her stomach, and her face was cloudy after hearing the words, and she forcibly calmed down and wanted to turn against the customer:

"No, this is your child, if you do a paternity test, you will be laughed at by the people around you, my friends are still here!"

When the man heard what she said, his face showed such an expression, and his clenched hand was weakly released, and he laughed miserably: "I'm so disappointed in you." ”

It seems to have been completely disheartened.

He took a deep breath, took off the ring on the ring finger on his hand, threw it on the ground, and said coldly:

"Withdraw from the marriage, I will tell Uncle Sakai about this matter as it is, and I will notify you of the wedding planning and relatives and friends, so you don't have to worry about this."

After saying this, he didn't care about the ring rolling on the ground, turned around and planned to leave.

That's how it really is.

Keiko Sakai, who originally wanted to fool around and even fight against the guest, panicked instantly, she walked out of the position with her stomach, and hurriedly grabbed his arm and said:

"Tetsuya, you can't do this to me."

"We've been dating since high school, and it's been seven years now, and I've been with you for seven years, you can't just abandon me like this because of a little thing."

The man who was caught paused, turned his head stiffly and stared at her for a while, his eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, and Keiko Sakai was a little scared.

She subconsciously let go of his grip.

The man was still expressionless, just slightly bowed his head and pointed at her stomach: "Is this also a trivial matter?" ”

"I'm sorry, don't go, I can explain it to you, and I took medicine afterwards."

Keiko Sakai's body began to tremble, and she already understood that the other party really wanted to withdraw from the marriage, but now she was so flustered that she couldn't do it, so she could only explain in a whisper.

"Every time?"

The man asked with a sneer.

"A big part of it"

Keiko Sakai's voice was even quieter.

"You used to tell me every day that you can't take emergency drugs more than three times a year, and the number of times you let me go to the hotel is only a fraction of this, and now you tell me most of them, am I a fool?"

It seemed that he was angry that she had tried to deceive herself in the end, and that the anger that had accumulated until now had made him lose his mind, and the man yelled directly in the store:

"We don't have any possibilities anymore, it's gone from the moment the kids aren't sure it's me!"

Keiko Sakai was already crying, grabbed his arm and shook it, "I really won't be like this in the future." ”

"Please explain these words to others."

The man didn't have any nostalgia anymore, and even looked at her crying pear blossom with rain face and felt disgusted, pushed her away, and turned around and strode away.

Keiko Sakai, who was pushed away, looked panicked.

Because the man had lost his mind, he didn't have the size of the force, and pushed Keiko Sakai directly to the table on the side, and the guest at that table directly subconsciously got up and retreated to the side for fear of blood splashing on him, and screamed in pain after watching her fall.

But there was no one to help.

After the man was completely gone, the diners present talked about it, and some of them even took pictures with their mobile phones.

It wasn't until Emi Takagi, who was delicate in her heart, that she arranged for Naoko Kahara to call an ambulance and asked Liangying Tianhai to help her up.

"Keiko, Keiko, are you okay?"

"We've called an ambulance."

As companions who came to dinner, the three of them were inevitably pointed at, and to be honest, they were ashamed, and they all wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

But after all, it's a friend's pickled affair, and it's impossible not to save it, so you can only blame yourself for making friends carelessly.

After they lifted Keiko Sakai, who was bleeding more than pale under her skirt, she waited patiently for the ambulance to come, that is, she was relieved until she walked out of the barbecue restaurant and lost her strange eyes.
