My love is abyss mode

Chapter 61 Favoritism (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
Ding dong.

The phone screen lights up, notifying me of a new message.

Shirakawa Momo's dim golden eyes gradually regained their luster. She put down the game console, picked up her phone, and tapped the screen with her fingertips to open the text message interface.

A line of text that strikes at the heart.

All the money I had painstakingly saved over the past few years was returned.

She closed her eyes and suddenly felt short of breath, her heart pounding wildly, and the sound of rain outside the window seemed very distant.

Click.

The door opened, and Shirakawa Momo opened her eyes and looked over. Kuronuma Kiba locked the door behind her, put the bag of rice and canvas bag against the wall, and threw a backpack over.

"He will not be going back to Tokyo."

As he took off his rain-soaked coat, he asked casually with a cold expression, "Did you receive the money?"

Shirakawa Momo took the backpack and hugged it to her chest, lowering her head deeply, not daring to look at the water droplets dripping from his wet hair.

"Speak." Kuronuma Fang glared at her coldly.

"Thank you." Shirakawa Momo replied indifferently, clutching her backpack tightly. Seeing the wear and tear on the leather, a pang of heartache appeared in her golden eyes.

She bit her lower lip, hesitated for a long time, and then asked softly, "How did you do that?"

"secret."

Kuronuma slapped the raindrops off his rain jacket, the fabric making an annoying screech as it rubbed against the air: "I know your secret now, and you're still hiding it from me?"

In an incurable silence, he put his coat back on, turned and left the room.

With a click, the door closed, and the sound of the soaking Tokyo rain faded away with his footsteps.

Shirakawa Momo suddenly raised her head, her gaze falling in the direction Kuronuma Kiba had left, the light in her golden eyes shattering bit by bit.

"No"—her pink lips twitched slightly, but no sound came out.

She raised her hand blankly, and suddenly it occurred to her that the Black Swamp Fang might be the Dark Fruit she was looking for.

After my mother passed away, this was the happiest moment of my life.

Everyone has things they pursue.

After obtaining the Dark-Dark Fruit, Blackbeard's goal is to become the Pirate King.

Because of her broken family, her dream is to have a warm home—but Kuronuma Kiba is still Hatsushino Ryo's boyfriend.

Couldn't we have ended everything after that night in a gentler way, without much pain?

Shirakawa Momo dropped her backpack, sprang from the bed, and rushed out, her body almost slamming into the door. She then opened the door, ran down the corridor, and sprinted towards the stairs.

My head seemed to have hit something, forcing me to stop.

She looked up and saw the wicked smile on Kuronuma's face. She raised her hand in frustration, slapping it away, tears welling in her eyes: "Do you really have to bully me?!"

"I'd rather you not lie to me than not lie to me. Have you learned your lesson?"

"I do not have."

"Then I'll go?"

"I was wrong."

Shirakawa Momo hugged him tightly, buried her face in his clothes to wipe away her tears, and whispered guiltily, "But we can't keep doing that kind of thing."

"Let's go back." Kuronuma Kiba raised his hand and rubbed her head, then put his arm around Shirakawa Momo and returned to the room.

He closed the door, carried Shirakawa Momo to the bed, sat beside her, and before the warm scent of cedarwood could disturb his mood, got down to business.

“I saw him at the college today. It’s possible that some clueless teacher helped him find your current address, so let’s move.”

"Ah."

"You should transfer schools while you're at it. Qinglan Private Academy has many children of important people, and security is tight. No suspicious people will be able to sneak in."

"Us?" Shirakawa Momo belatedly raised her face, a hint of reluctance in her golden eyes.

"Is there a problem with us sharing an apartment?"

Seeing her head bowed and her conflicted expression, Kuronuma knew that a cat's stubborn personality was hard to change overnight, so he switched to a forceful, commanding tone:
“I’ve solved such a big problem for you, so of course the friendship fee has to go up. I’m not very capable of taking care of myself, and I don’t want to live in an old apartment, understand?” “Oh.”

Shirakawa Momo raised her head, slightly averted her gaze, and reluctantly agreed: "Don't look for an expensive place. I still have to pay tuition, and I might not be able to afford the rent."

Aside from sleeping together, she was genuinely willing to grant him any request.

"Go take a shower. We'll go complete the transfer procedures tomorrow." Kuronuma Kiba emptied all the books out of his canvas bag, picked up a copy of "The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl," tore off the plastic wrap, and lay down on the bed to read it.

Shirakawa Momo got out of bed and went to the bathroom door. She looked back at him for a while, then swallowed the words in her throat and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

There was no sound of water coming from the bathroom.

A few minutes later, she ran quickly to Kuronuma's side and looked at him earnestly: "I have something to say."

"I don't want to hear it, so you beg me."

"It's very important; I won't be able to say it tomorrow."

"Do not listen."

"I'll be blunt: aside from not being able to tell you their secrets, I'll be a little biased towards you in everything else."

The cute expression vanished from Shirakawa Momo's delicate face; her lips turned down, and she resumed her usual indifferent demeanor, her golden eyes filled with seriousness.

Kuronuma Kiba turned a page of the book in his hand, ignoring it.

"From today onwards, I will open my boundaries to you."

"I will help you defeat Ryo."

"I won't be stubborn anymore."

Shirakawa Momo's words became increasingly hesitant, and her indifferent voice gradually faded.

She then realized that she hadn't been sincere at all; every word she said came with the preconditions of "not spending the night together" and "not revealing secrets." Yet, when Kuronuma left, she hadn't said anything extra.

Educating a cat is a long and arduous task, but it's a good start for the relationship between the two.

Kuronuma's gaze swept across the words on the page, and without even looking up, he said, "I won't show you any favoritism."

"why?"

"Because you don't sleep with me."

"dross."

Shirakawa Momo turned her face away, muttered a curse under her breath, and a cold glint appeared in her golden eyes as she thought of his intimate actions with Toyama Chitose: "What about Chitose?"

Upon hearing this question, Kuronuma Fang looked up and stared at the ceiling, deep in thought.

He didn't know how to face Toyama Chitose, which was the main reason.

After repaying the favor to Lord Yuanshan, she disappeared for a while, and then she always talked about "liking" him, but in reality she never had a chance to eat him.

Besides, he has a girlfriend, why would he favor his senior?
Let's observe for a while longer.

"No."

"If she"

Before he could finish speaking, Kuronuma Fang immediately replied, "Probably."

"An incurable pest." Shirakawa Momo sighed with a headache, her brows furrowed, and the corners of her downturned lips twitched slightly. There was nothing she could do about him.

I can only be careful to guard against Toyama Chitose, for the sake of Kuronuma Kiba and for Hatsushino Ryo.

Thinking of this, a shrewd light flashed in her eyes, and she nodded in affirmation of her action plan.

That's right, helping Kuronuma Kiba defeat Hatsushino Ryo is the best way.

Ryo's wish is to be defeated. Kurogane Kiba once said that he would break up with her after defeating her, so that he would have a chance to obtain the Dark-Dark Fruit.

The cat's stubborn personality continued to take effect, and after successfully convincing herself, Shirakawa Momo turned and walked into the bathroom.

In the days to come, I only need to focus on these two things:
Guard against the distant mountain thousand years, and defeat the first deer of the mountain.
