Hikaru Kurosawa sat on the sofa, crossed Jiro's legs, folded his hands on his legs, looked at Miki Hakuha's beautiful face, flushed with shyness, obviously embarrassed, still whispering, and his heartstrings were involuntarily attracted.

It's a unique experience to listen to other people's stories about how they like you.

"I was surprised that you were competing in a bow tournament at the Budokan and that you were so good, I didn't expect you to shoot arrows and shoot so well. I was waiting for you that day, and I wanted to tell you that I came to see the game.

As a result, I waited for a long time, but I didn't wait for you, only for a message from you, saying that you have a girlfriend.

At that time, I was so sad that I didn't dare to send you any more messages, and I decided to let go of this relationship. Even though I thought so, I knew there was a game behind you, so I couldn't hold back and ran to watch it again.

It was then that I realized that I couldn't let go of you...... I don't want you to disappear into my world, I want to keep looking at you and ask about everything that has to do with you. ”

Talking about the process of liking, Miki Hakuha looked at the man sitting on the side sofa, and became more and more convinced of his liking.

The eyebrows are thick and long, the eyes are dark and bright, the hairstyle is simple and clean, the white shirt and black trousers, the figure is tall and slender, just sitting there, no need to move, but full of aura.

The excellence of a thing will make people yearn for it, and that is attractiveness.

For example, cool sports cars, cute dolls, luxurious villas, beautiful women, championship honors, wonderful stories, all good things, all have obvious advantages.

As for the sense of dependence, it is the many feelings brought about by the pursuit of day and night, which outweigh the disadvantages, and make people deeply trapped and unable to extricate themselves.

"Senior Kurosawa, I'm done."

Speaking of this, Miki Hakuha's weak conclusion looked at him with some nervousness and expectation.

“……”

In the face of her gaze, Hikaru Kurosawa didn't say anything, just looked at her.

If it makes sense, it's always agreeable.

In the process of listening to her narration, he really felt the reason why Miki Baiyu liked him.

Such a confession is more touching than a love letter.

"Have you ever been to the Outer Garden since that day?"

After a while, Hikaru Kurosawa suddenly asked.

"Nope." Miki Hakuha shook his head.

"Which rink are you going to now?"

“Plaza。”

"Where's this skating rink?"

"Edogawa Ward."

"What time do you go?"

"Ten o'clock."

Miki Baiyu is very well-behaved, and when faced with his questions, he knows everything.

"Then I'll meet at Edogawa Ward Station tomorrow at 9:30 a.m."

Knowing her situation, Kurosawa thought about it and finalized a time,

"Are you going to go to the rink with me tomorrow?"

Hearing this, Miki Baiyu was stunned for a moment and felt incredible.

"Hmm."

Hikaru Kurosawa nodded slightly, affirming the matter.

This is the decision he made after thinking about it, and directly promised Miki Hakuha to let her be his fifth girlfriend, which he felt was too hasty, and there was a condescending feeling.

That's why he decided to get back on his feet and start with a dating mission.

The root cause of the current situation, which is tangled, is that the order is wrong.

They didn't know each other yet, and they hadn't even spoken much.

"Is this a test?"

Miki Baiyu thought about it, and he didn't rejoice too early, but thought of a possibility.

"It's a date."

Hikaru Kurosawa glanced at her and corrected.

"So is that what you mean by promising me to be your fifth girlfriend?"

Miki Bai Yu was stunned when he heard this, looked at him with a pair of big eyes, and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes and no."

"What does that mean?"

"I'm dating you, spending some time with you, and seeing if we're a good fit, but that doesn't mean we're already dating."

"Isn't that a test?"

"It's a two-way street, and in the process of getting along, you may change your opinion, and I may change your opinion. To put it simply, I will no longer avoid you, nor will I keep an absolute distance from you. ”

Seeing that she hadn't reacted yet, Hikaru Kurosawa spread out the words to make it clear.

In view of her confession, he decided not to reject her from thousands of miles away.

It's just that he is not sure what his feelings for Miki Hakuha are, and he still needs to judge it through actual contact.

"Uh-oh."

Miki Hakuha nodded knowingly.

She probably understood...... Although Senior Kurosawa did not directly promise her to be his girlfriend, he did not intend to reject her, but it took a while to think about it before he could make a judgment.

In short, Kurosawa-senpai wants an answer, and he wants to be with her.

"It's 9 o'clock, go home and rest early, and I'll talk about what I have tomorrow."

With this in mind, Hikaru Kurosawa glanced at the clock on the wall, stood up and reminded.

"Uh-huh."

Miki Hakuha was very obedient and stood up.

The two of them didn't speak, just walked to the entrance together.

"Bye-bye."

Walking out of the door, Miki Baiyu turned his head and waved goodbye, smiling beautifully.

"Bye-bye."

Hikaru Kurosawa saw this scene, a little familiar, smiled lightly, and waved goodbye to her.

When they went to the café for afternoon tea, when they separated, it was the same as today.

After saying goodbye, Miki Hakuha walked to the elevator.

Soon, she walked to the elevator, pressed the button to go downstairs, and waited.

While waiting, she couldn't help but glance back, and found that Kurosawa came out of the house to look at her, just like the night before at the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan, watching her leave.

Realizing this, Miki Baiyu couldn't help laughing and waved at that side again.

As they looked at each other, Hikaru Kurosawa turned around and returned home, closing the door.

"Senior Kurosawa, is this a tsundere?"

Seeing this reaction, Miki Hakuha couldn't help but think.

obviously cared about her very much, but after being discovered, he felt embarrassed.

"Ding!"

A crisp sound rang out, and the elevator doors opened.

In this regard, Miki Baiyu walked in briskly, she felt that the air at this moment was sweet,

Maybe she didn't get the best answer tonight, maybe she waited for more than four hours, and she only got along with Kurosawa for less than half an hour, but she was still in a good mood.

She had a very strong feeling that tomorrow would definitely be a very happy day.

……

"Is this what it's like to be chased?"

Closing the door, Hikaru Kurosawa found that his heart was beating quite fast, and the afterglow was still there.

Maybe he has been chased backwards before, and there are still quite a few of them, but he has never felt like this.

Because those girls who have pursued him do not meet his criteria for choosing a mate, they are all underage girls, and there are even many childish Lori.

In contrast, Miki Hakuha is within his criteria for choosing a mate.

First of all, Miki Hakuha is nineteen years old and is a mature adult.

The most important thing is that even if she looks a little naïve, she is very beautiful.

She is white and beautiful, has an excellent temperament, likes to wear long white dresses, and looks like a fairy.

Her voice is also very good, it would be an exaggeration to say that it is like a natural sound, but it is very pleasant.

Standing where he was, he took off his socks in the hallway, took them to the bathroom, and threw them into the changing basket.

Immediately after, he went back to his room to get a set of clothes and went to the bathroom again.

"Whoa."

As the shower sprayed hot water, Hikaru Kurosawa began to take a bath.

"How did she know my address?"

With the help of shampoo and scratching a lot of foam on his head, Hikaru Kurosawa suddenly thought of a problem.

Xiao Yuki knew where his home was, and secretly followed him home by following him, and apologized for it.

Chizuru knew where his home was because she used to be his responsible teacher, and he filled out the information.

But what about Miki White Feather? And by what means?

In fact, unless they are very good friends, otherwise, ordinary classmates will not know each other's home address.

It's like the hot girl group, except for Xiao Yuki's home, he has no idea where the other six people live.

"Forget it, we're going to move after that anyway."

Thinking about this problem in hindsight, Hikaru Kurosawa couldn't figure it out, but he didn't think too much about it.

He is a man, and it is not as dangerous as revealing the home address of a girl who lives alone.

Not long after, after taking a shower and wiping his hair, Hikaru Kurosawa sat at the head of the bed and played with his mobile phone.

Chatting with Xiao Yuki every day, feelings need to be maintained, even if it is family affection, not to mention love.

"Good night~"

"Good night."

“Mua！”

“mua。”

After chatting for an hour, Hikaru Kurosawa and Koyuki exchanged goodnight kisses goodbye and hung up the video call.

With that out of his way, he found Chizuru and made a video call.

Because of the jealousy before, he knew about it...... It doesn't matter if Chizuru is busy or not, she just wants you to go to her.

With the response, it didn't take long for the video call to be connected.

"It's so late to call."

Chizuru Ninomiya's face appeared on the phone screen, a little resentful.

At this time, she estimated that she had already finished taking a shower and changed into a pair of pajamas, which looked very cool, but very exquisite.

"How's it going, my Adelina."

Hikaru Kurosawa knew that it was indeed too late, so he skipped the topic and asked positively.

Girls are emotional creatures, and it is normal for them to be more likely to expose their emotions in the face of people close to them.

There are only two ways to deal with a girl's emotions, either to be an audience member or to change the subject.

"Don't mention this ......"

Chizuru Ninomiya, who was still dissatisfied with the fact that he didn't call until 10 o'clock, suddenly felt a headache when he heard this.

"Did something unhappy happen?"

Seeing her frowning and not very happy, Hikaru Kurosawa said with concern.

"It's hard to put into words." Chizuru Ninomiya sighed, not knowing where to start.

"We have a lot of time."

Hikaru Kurosawa doesn't mind listening to her tell stories.

Chatting needs topics, and simple chatting about family life is a meaningless conversation.

If you want people to think it's interesting to talk to you, the topic is important.

"Today I went to work in the bank as usual, and before I started work, my colleagues called me Adelina and pestered me to ask me what you look like under the mask, are you handsome."

Chizuru Ninomiya had wanted to complain to him for a long time, and seeing that he was very patient, she sorted out her thoughts and decided to start from the beginning.

"And how do you answer them?"

When Hikaru Kurosawa heard this, he immediately became curious.

People have a quirk that they like to listen to what others say about themselves.

"That must mean that you are handsome, everyone knows that I am your girlfriend, if I say that you are not handsome, if they spread it, it will be a secret."

Ninomiya Chizuru glanced at him, always feeling that he was knowingly asking.

Let's not talk about her position, just Kurosawa's appearance, it's hard to say that he is not handsome.

After all, she fell in love with Kurosawa because she was attracted by his looks and temperament.

"Indeed."

Hikaru Kurosawa was speechless, and this was not so much a problem as there was no option.

"Almost everyone asked me this question, including customers, old colleagues from the University of Tokyo, and even classmates from elementary school who called me. Everyone is curious about what you look like under the mask, and how old you are. ”

"After all, masks are things that give people a desire to explore."

Hikaru Kurosawa smiled, not very surprised.

"Actually, it's nothing to say you're handsome...... It's annoying that someone asks me, how is your work in bed?

Ninomiya Chizuru naturally understood this truth, bowed his head slightly, and then said speechlessly.

"That's too much." Hikaru Kurosawa was a little surprised.

"It's a shame that a woman asks this, and if a man asks this question, I'll call the police."

Chizuru Ninomiya nodded, very agreeable.

After all, it's the same sex, and it's a joke at best.

If a man asks this kind of question, it's harassment.

"And how did you answer?"

"Confidentiality, there's no need to answer this kind of question...... Also, on the question of your age, I would say that you are less than 30 years old. ”

"Why isn't this a secret?"

"Someone asked me if you were a middle-aged pianist in your forties, and I was a little upset, so I said that you were still very young."

"Hahaha."

Hearing this, Hikaru Kurosawa suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

Chizuru Ninomiya didn't understand why he was laughing.

"I think about how you respond to age questions, and it always feels cute."

It's not words, it's the truth, and Hikaru Kurosawa can imagine how unhappy she is arguing with others.

"I'm not cute."

Ninomiya Chizuru, who was still very annoyed, had a pause in his expression, and then he flicked his hair and snorted.

Although she said so, the corners of her mouth and brows revealed her mood.

Maybe it's a sister's girlfriend who prefers to be relied on, but being praised after doing a good deed will make anyone happy, and she is no exception.

In this matter, even if she leaked her mouth and exposed some information, but this was also to protect Kurosawa.

What's more, she handled it very well, she didn't say the specific age, she just said that she was very young, less than 30 years old.

Seeing her arrogant appearance, Hikaru Kurosawa smiled even more happily.

"I don't know what they think, they all think you should be ugly, or very old."

Blushing from his smile, Chizuru Ninomiya changed the subject.

"Because it's hard to admit that others are amazing."

Hikaru Kurosawa didn't care much about that.

Maybe Neon has the psychology of worshipping the strong, but the malicious speculation of others is also very serious.

Although many fans speculate that he looks handsome behind the mask, there are also many people who think that he is ugly and wears a mask.

Because from a common sense point of view, if you are handsome, then there is no need to wear a mask at all.

"I can understand this kind of psychology, what annoys me the most is that someone is yin and yang, sneering and sarcastically thinking that you are ugly and old, and I am with you because you are rich and talented."

Chizuru Ninomiya recalls today's encounters, and her mood is very depressed.

In fact, she has long been accustomed to other people's cold words, because she became a teacher at the University of Tokyo at a young age, and she is so beautiful, she has been poked in the back by many people, saying that she is in the pillow business and other activities, so she can get the position.

But when it comes to Kurosawa, it touches her bottom line and backscales, and she can't calm down at all, and she can't turn a blind eye.

"Who said that?"

When Hikaru Kurosawa heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy.

He knows better than anyone that even if he doesn't know how to play the piano, even if he doesn't have money, Chizuru still likes him.

Because Chizuru's feelings for him were already deep-rooted long before the first date.

Even if there is no such premise, if someone says such things to his girlfriend in person, he can't bear it, this is already a bad word.

"It's okay, don't be angry."

Chizuru Ninomiya, who was still very angry, suddenly calmed down when he saw that he was a little angry.

"This kind of person just doesn't clean up, you tell me, who that person is, I will help you get angry."

"He's been cleaned up."

"How did you clean it up?"

"When my mother came to me, she heard him speak ill of me behind my back, and sent him to the countryside of Hokkaido...... I know this, and my mom told me. ”

"Really?"

Hikaru Kurosawa heard this, and suddenly turned off the fire a little and confirmed.

Although he has not yet graduated, his intention to work in a bank is naturally because he knows that the worst consequence of a banker doing something wrong is to be assigned to a remote area in the countryside.

Bankers, as a well-paid, decent, high-status profession, are extremely competitive and error-free jobs.

Once there is a stain on the business file, it is difficult to leave the original bank and want to enter another bank.

Coupled with Neon's social work system, people with units usually do one job for a lifetime.

If this is true, that person's banker career will be ruined.

"Really, although you always lie to me, I won't lie to you."

Chizuru Ninomiya nodded and affirmed.

Her parents are both executives of Jiuye Bank, and their authority is too strong.

"I've lied to you many times, but you've always lied to me."

Realizing that this matter was settled, Hikaru Kurosawa stopped thinking about it and turned to it.

"When did I lie to you?"

When Chizuru Ninomiya heard this charge, she asked rhetorically.

"It's like just now, you are obviously cute, and you say that you are not cute, isn't that lying to me?"

Hikaru Kurosawa saw that she was unconscious, so he gave an example.

"How can this be considered a lie to you?"

Ninomiya Chizuru's eyes widened, and she was very unconvinced.

"And when I invited you to the amusement park, you obviously wanted to go on a date with me, and what did you say in order to prevent you from being deceived by a strange woman and affecting your studies."

"This doesn't count!"

Ninomiya Chizuru was turned over by him, and his pretty face turned red.

"Alright then, it doesn't count."

Finding that she was annoyed and angry, Hikaru Kurosawa was amused and did not dwell on her on this topic.

There has been a lot of talk about this, but it is he who is to blame...... After all, Chizuru's behavior can be regarded as duplicity at best, and it can also be said to be arrogant.

"It doesn't count."

Seeing that he seemed to be reluctant, Chizuru Ninomiya was a little unhappy.

Because she thinks she is very sincere to Kurosawa, and she is also very accommodating to him, and she is very good to him, how can she deceive him.

"You just said that your mother-in-law was looking for you?"

Angering his girlfriend and coaxing her to be happy is actually a kind of fun in love, Hikaru Kurosawa smiled and changed the subject.

"Not only my mom, but also my dad came to my office."

Hearing the way he called him, the corners of Ninomiya Chizuru's mouth lifted slightly, and he couldn't control his joy, and then nodded.

"What do they say?"

Hikaru Kurosawa was a little curious, the evaluation of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Although he had heard a long time ago that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were very snobbish, just like a rich man would not be very disgusted with a gold worshipper, he knew that he was talented, rich and had potential, and he was not afraid at all.

"They're not very happy with you and want me to break up with you......"

Faced with his anticipation, Chizuru Ninomiya paused for a few seconds and sighed.

"Why? Although the rate of return in the entertainment industry is unstable, my influence and fame are there. ”

This result was unexpected, and Hikaru Kurosawa did not understand.

"It's just that the rate of return is unstable...... And influence and fame do not mean money. ”

Chizuru Ninomiya nodded and explained.

"So what should I do?"

"Just like you make a lot of money, let me leave the bank as a strategy, as long as your earning power is stronger than theirs, they have nothing to say."

"Okay."

Hikaru Kurosawa thought about it and nodded.

"Aren't you angry?"

Chizuru Ninomiya looked at his expression and couldn't help but ask.

"Why should I be angry?"

Hikaru Kurosawa didn't understand why she suddenly said that.

"My parents are so difficult to deal with."

Ninomiya Chizuru has a headache for his parents.

Although they are very good to her, like someone who says bad things about her today, and turns their heads and tries to get angry for her, the desire to control is too strong, such as letting her break up.

"As long as you make money, you can deal with it, but it's actually quite easy to deal with. I'm more curious about whether I can marry their baby daughter if I can't play the piano and don't have the identity of zero hour. ”

Hikaru Kurosawa took the opportunity to say sweet words and make her happy.

"Absolutely."

Chizuru Ninomiya heard that he was going to marry him, and gave him a blank look.

"How to marry?"

"Didn't I ask you about your intention to graduate and work before? You said it was a bank, and I was going to wait for you to graduate, write you a letter of recommendation, and let you enter Jiuye Bank. ”

"If I enter the Nine Leaves Bank, will I be able to be with you? The earning power can't compare to theirs. ”

"If we're together, they'll train us to be their successors."

"So good...... According to what you say, even if I don't play the piano, I can still have a good harvest in career and love? ”

Hikaru Kurosawa didn't expect her to have such a plan, which is very strange.

If he understands correctly, even if there is no system, because Chizuru has a crush on him, he only needs to wait until he graduates, hugging Chizuru's thigh, and he can reach the peak of life.

"What do you say?"

Speaking of this, Ninomiya Chizuru looked at him with some resentment.

Obviously, it would be fine in two and a half years, but this bad thing was so dishonest that it got several girlfriends and messed up her perfect plan.
