Oh no! They all seem a bit off!

Chapter 93 Ji Yexue Comes to Catch Adulterers

"Ah Cheng!"

As Akizuki Makoto and Fuyuko were unpacking their suitcases and setting things up, Shimizu Rei, who had just finished showering, pushed open the bedroom door and walked in.

Her hair was wet, and she had a towel hanging around her neck.

The t-shirt she was wearing was a little too big, with the hem hanging down to her thighs, just covering the high-elasticity athletic shorts she was wearing, revealing her beautifully curved and powerful legs.

Perhaps because she had just taken a shower, her cheeks were rosy, which was very noticeable even against her wheat-colored skin.

Qiu Yuecheng looked up and immediately scolded, "You idiot, you don't even know how to dry your hair properly."

"Slightly~"

Shimizu Rei playfully stuck out her tongue, seemingly trying to get away with it by being cute.

"Alright, stop tidying up and let's go sightseeing. We've come all this way to Tokyo, how can we not see everything?"

"What's the rush? Your hair isn't even dry yet. Go dry your hair first."

"Alright, alright, Acheng is still so serious..."

Shimizu Rei muttered to herself, casually sat down at the desk, picked up a hairdryer, and while drying her hair, said, "By the way, what are some fun places to go in Tokyo? Ueno? Ginza? Or Meiji Shrine?"

"I haven't explored Tokyo much, but Ginza should be a great place. It's very bustling and has many dessert shops."

"...Go."

Dongzi grabbed Qiuyue Cheng's clothes, and the ahoge on her head twitched.

She loves delicious sweets, and she loves them even more when she's with her brother.

Rei Shimizu clenched her fists and said excitedly, "Ginza? That sounds nice, let's go!"

Qiu Yuecheng glanced at her and asked, "Aren't you going back to the hotel to change? Are you going to go there wearing my clothes like this?"

"There's no need to change. It's too much trouble to go back and change clothes."

Shimizu Rei waved her hand and continued, "Think about it, if I go back to the hotel to change, wouldn't I have to go through the trouble of getting your clothes back?"

"Uh……"

Upon hearing this, Akizuki Makoto was also a little confused about Shimizu Rei's thought process, so he asked the probing question: "But in the end, won't you still have to take my clothes back? Isn't that the same thing?"

"...That's so long-winded!"

Seeing that she couldn't win the argument, Shimizu Rei resorted to shamelessness, complaining that Akizuki Makoto was too long-winded, like her mother, and that no girl would like him that way.

To this, Akizuki Makoto could only remain silent; he actually hoped that no one would like him.

Women will only slow him down in becoming better!

After packing all of Dongzi's luggage, the three of them went out again.

They decided to go to Shinjuku first, have lunch there, then visit Meiji Shrine in Shibuya, and finally go to Ginza to enjoy desserts and spend a leisurely afternoon.

For lunch, we chose grilled meat, which was Shimizu Rei's special request, as she loves meat the most.

Akizuki Makoto and Fuyuko didn't have any particular food preferences or dietary restrictions, so they went along with her.

Even when she goes out for a trip, Dongzi still carries that black plush rabbit—a plush rabbit that Akizuki Makoto gave her for her birthday two years ago.

Since then, she has always regarded the plush rabbit as her most precious treasure and carried it with her at all times.

Akizuki held an umbrella in one hand to shield Fuyuko from the sun, while holding her hand with the other, like an old father taking care of his daughter.

Shimizu Rei walked beside the two, as if...

Hmm...it seems like the extra one.

To outsiders, Akizuki Makoto and Fuyuko have a harmonious relationship; it's obvious at a glance that they are a brother and sister with a very good relationship.

After getting off the train and walking down the bustling street, Shimizu Rei suddenly asked, "Makoto, you haven't gotten a girlfriend in Tokyo, have you?"

"No."

Qiu Yuecheng shook his head slightly and smiled, "Didn't you say I'm too long-winded and no one would like me?"

"Tch, I was just saying that offhand. How could Acheng not be liked?"

Shimizu Rei pouted. Didn't she know just how popular her childhood friend was?

When the news of his decision to transfer to Tokyo spread at Minegashiro University Affiliated Junior High School, girls would come to him crying every day.

Whether they were classmates, younger female students, or even older female students!

It can be said that almost everyone at Fengcheng Affiliated High School admires him, after all, this guy truly deserves to be the white moonlight of countless girls.

Not only is he handsome and intelligent, but he also has such a good personality. He was named an outstanding teenager and a good person of the year in Takamatsu City.

Anyone who spends time with Akizuki Makoto will be captivated by his personal charm.

...Even she was no exception.

However, Shimizu Rei knew that childhood sweethearts often end up as losers, so she never dared to make a move. Besides, she couldn't sense that Akizuki Makoto had any romantic feelings for her.

She came to Tokyo for the competition—a competition she was already absolutely confident about.

On the other hand, she came for Akizuki Makoto—she wasn't very confident about this, but she had one trump card.

In short, she will give it her all, whether it's in a competition or in a relationship.

It wasn't until the year that Akizuki Makoto left that she suddenly realized just how much she loved him.

In the past, Akizuki Makoto had always been by her side, and she felt that it was alright to keep her feelings hidden in her heart, and she could resist revealing them. "Makoto, even if I am rejected, I will have no regrets..."

Shimizu Rei turned her head to look at that handsome profile, and secretly made up her mind.

Even though she knew her chances of winning were slim, it was still better than leaving with regrets.

If she doesn't confess her feelings soon, she'll lose all courage in the future.

This year, she wants to win the gold medal in the inter-school competition, and then on that day, she will launch her attack and confess her feelings to Akizuki Makoto!
If she was rejected, she wouldn't be too embarrassed, because it would be her last day in Tokyo, and she could simply escape back to her hometown.

When Qiuyue Cheng returned to his hometown, it was already half a year before they met again.

By then, she should have recovered from the heartbreak of her breakup, be able to face Akizuki Makoto with equanimity, and reconcile with her own feelings.

"Yes, I'm a genius!"

Shimizu Rei secretly felt smug, thinking to herself that she was incredibly clever.

...It seems she didn't even realize that everything she did was planned with the premise of failure, and she never thought about what she would do if she succeeded in confessing her feelings.

Thus, while Shimizu Rei was devising her confession plan and Akizuki Mako was chatting with Fuyuko, the three of them arrived at a highly-rated barbecue restaurant.

Because it was Sunday, the three of them had to queue for about ten minutes before they could get a seat.

Shimizu Rei ordered a lot of grilled meat right away, including beef tenderloin, pork tenderloin, and liver, which made Akizuki Makoto hesitate to order anything, fearing that the three of them wouldn't be able to finish it.

"Don't worry, I have a really big appetite right now, you know?"

Shimizu Rei patted her chest and said confidently, "Even if you bring another serving of these, I can finish them all."

"Let's eat first and then talk. We can order more if we're not full. Dongzi and I have small appetites."

Although Akizuki Makoto said that, he still ordered a few more plates of barbecue, thinking that if the child liked it, he would let her eat it.

No one should go hungry, but children should not.

Even after sending a large sum of money to his parents back home, he was still financially well-off.

"Ring ring ring"

Just as he was waiting for the food to be served, Akizuki Makoto suddenly felt his phone vibrate in his pocket and the phone rang.

He took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, so he didn't answer and hung up immediately.

Sitting across from her, Shimizu Rei asked curiously, "Who called? Aren't you going to answer?"

"Nothing, just a nuisance call."

Akizuki smiled indifferently; he had a feeling that the person who called would be a troublesome individual.

If it's someone he knows, he'll have them saved in his contacts; otherwise, he'll consider it a spam call.

In fact, he was half right; the person who called was indeed a troublesome individual.

"..."

Miss Himeya, who lived on the sixth floor of apartment 5-18, Hakusan 1-chome, Bunkyo Ward, looked at the phone that had been hung up on with an extremely unpleasant expression.

She had been standing at the door and ringing the doorbell for five minutes, but the homeowner still hadn't come to open the door, so she decided to make a phone call.

But this guy actually hung up on her?
She instinctively felt that Akizuki Makoto must be busy, perhaps spending time with some philandering woman, which was why he was deliberately not answering the phone.

So she switched to Line and bombarded him with messages, sending him ten messages in a row asking him "Where are you, what are you doing, and who are you with?", and then called him.

The phone rang for a while before being answered.

Then came Akizuki Makoto's helpless voice: "Hey, Miss, it's the middle of the week, what urgent matter do you need me for?"

"Where are you."

Ji Yexue frowned and questioned, "With whom?"

"I'm with my sister and my childhood sweetheart from my hometown. They came to Tokyo today, and I'm showing them around."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yexue's anger subsided by half, but her brows remained furrowed.

"Childhood sweetheart?"

She knew that Akizuki Makoto had a younger sister, but she really didn't know that he had a childhood sweetheart.

She immediately grasped the key words and thought to herself, isn't the kind of thing called childhood sweetheart just a spoiled, pampered cat who takes advantage of her status?
"Where are you?"

"Young Miss, you keep asking me where I am and what I'm doing. Are you coming here for this too?"

Qiu Yuecheng, who was nodding, really couldn't hold back anymore. He didn't know why Ji Yexue had such a strong desire to control and possess him.

She even wanted to get involved in her long-awaited reunion with her younger sister and childhood sweetheart.

Shouldn't a normal person tactfully wish him a good time?

...Okay, thinking about it carefully, Ji Yexue isn't a normal person either, she's a god.

"Tell me now, or I'll keep waiting for you at your doorstep."

"...Hey, I'm at a yakiniku restaurant in Shinjuku. I sent you the location on LINE."

Akizuki sighed and finally gave in, telling her the exact location.

The thought of this guy waiting for me to come back sends chills down my spine.
