Tokyo Sick Girlfriend

Chapter 95 Win or Lose

Chapter 95 Win or Lose (Bungee Jumping)
The girl's finger poked his chin and felt a little cold. Shiratori Seiya frowned slightly, reached out and grabbed the index finger, and noticed out of the corner of his eye that the people behind him were all looking in their direction.

"Stop messing around. You're not afraid of what others think now?"

"What else is there to be afraid of?"

When he grasped her fingers, Takahashi Mio didn't flinch. Instead, she shifted her weight closer to him, practically pressing half her body against his shoulder, and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear:
"Anyway, everyone at school knows you have two girlfriends, and there are even rumors that I'm the other woman. Explaining won't help, so let nature take its course."

"..."

Shiratori Seiya's heart skipped a beat. He himself didn't care about these comments at all, but he didn't think about Mio. He didn't have any friends at school, so naturally no one told him anything about rumors.

Seeing Shiratori Seiya's gloomy face, Takahashi Mio smiled as if her wicked scheme had succeeded:
"You feel sorry for me, don't you? How can you be so soft-hearted? I feel like you won't make any big money like this."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Noticing the strange expression on Shiratori's face, she explained:
"Look, it's written on TV, in newspapers, and in books that capitalism is evil, and you have to be ruthless and unscrupulous to grab a piece of the pie from it... Aren't you just getting eaten up like this..."

As she spoke, she picked up a pen and tore a piece of paper from her notebook, saying:
"bring it on……"

Shiratori Seiya gave her a deep look, then took the pen from her hand and said:
"Leaving aside the fact that there is no cash inflow or bank statements, and I don't even have 1 billion yuan myself, your IOU has no legal effect at all."

Mio Takahashi blinked, paused for a moment, and then said:

"Oh? Then let's write 100 million..."

"What I mean is to abandon this awful plan."

"..."

Mio Takahashi pouted and slumped back in her chair like a deflated balloon, saying:
"Then what do you think we should do?"

Shiratori Seiya remained silent for a moment before saying:

"Tell me about your father first. What kind of person was he?"

"He's the most boring guy..."

The image of her father's face flashed through her mind, and Takahashi Mio bit her lip and muttered:

"His personality is terrible. As soon as he gets off work, he stares at those few tattered books he bought from who-knows-where and keeps looking at them. He says that great wisdom is hidden in these lost ancient books, but I flipped through one of them once and found a barcode printed on one of the pages..."

But even though he's well-read, he doesn't speak logically at all. He always likes to quote classics to lecture people, and you can't argue back. If you do, he'll say things like, "You're not even married yet and you're already disobeying your family," and then he'll quote more classics, insisting on getting you to agree. It's really annoying.

He also likes to drink occasionally, and every now and then he'd leave my mother and me at home for meals. Sometimes he'd even bring people over to drink. And to make matters worse, he always liked to belittle my mother and me in front of others. After the guests left, it was just my mother and me cleaning up.

After drinking, he would either lie down on the bed or go fishing like a madman. Once he even fell into the water. When my mother and I went to look for him, he was still asleep in the water. If he hadn't been holding onto the grass on the bank while asleep, he probably would have drowned long ago..."

"..."

This was the first time that Shiratori Seiya had formally learned about Takahashi Mio's family. He listened to her intermittent complaints, which were mostly abstract things that Takahashi Isao had done.

Judging from Mio Takahashi's attitude towards him, there is no doubt that this father may not be very competent.

She muttered and complained about her father for over half an hour. Perhaps worried that Shiratori Seiya would have a very bad impression of him, she pursed her lips and said somewhat reluctantly:

"However, he's not without his good points; he's quite good to his mother."

“When my mother was young, it seems she encountered some thugs. The old man took two knife wounds to protect her. I’ve seen the scars on his back; they’re real…”

At this point, Mio Takahashi paused and glanced at Seiya Shiratori's left hand.

Shiratori Seiya, oblivious to her gaze, stared at the table for a moment, then asked:
What does your uncle do for a living?

"Uh……"

Upon hearing this, Takahashi Mio hesitated for a moment, then opened her mouth and said:
"I think he does mechanical circuit repairs? Anyway, he works at a car factory..."

Seemingly to conceal her lack of knowledge in this area, she sighed again and said:
"It's so annoying! I always get really into watching TV dramas and love discussing and criticizing the plot with my mom every day, but I really don't understand why it's unacceptable for my daughter to want to be an actress. Doesn't she want to see me on TV?" "..."

Shiratori Seiya didn't reply. He rested one hand on his forehead, closed his eyes, and frowned deeply.

He remained motionless for several minutes, and Mio Takahashi couldn't help but go up and nudge his arm.

She opened her eyes with a 'whoosh,' and the white bird looked at her and asked:
"what?"

"No, I thought you were asleep."

"..."

Shiratori Seiya remained silent, staring at the desk until the bell rang for the next class.

Seeing his headache-ridden expression, Mio Takahashi's mood, which had been sour for the past two days, suddenly improved a lot.

A sense of happiness, as if someone were suffering alongside me, welled up within me.

She couldn't help but giggle, but fearing the professor on the podium would notice, she could only cover her mouth, her slender shoulders trembling slightly.

After a while, she seemed to feel a little sorry for Shiratori Seiya's gloomy appearance, and reached out to poke his waist.

When Shiratori Seiya looked in her direction, she pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and hesitated for a moment, as if she wanted to say something.

But then, she suddenly smiled and said:
"Don't be so upset. Let me tell you, if you frown for too long, wrinkles will appear, and they'll never go away. Besides, things will work themselves out. At worst, I'll just stop going home..."

Then, without waiting for Shiratori Seiya's response, she asked again:
"By the way, I'm a little curious. When Hojo went to become a singer, didn't her parents have any objections at all? Did they really believe she would succeed?"

Upon hearing this, Shiratori Seiya remained silent for a moment before saying:
"To say she completely believed it wouldn't be accurate; she was more of a skeptic. But she participated in the school competition first, then the singing competition in Kyoto, and after she achieved good results, her family agreed..."

Mio Takahashi nodded expressionlessly and said:

"Oh, you're really lucky."

After saying that, she picked up the mineral water in front of Shiratori Seiya, twisted off the cap, and took a big gulp, as if that would relieve the sourness in her heart.

She put down the water bottle, licked her lips, stared at Shiratori Seiya for a while, and suddenly asked:
"But, with such a big problem going on, didn't she ask you for help? Like asking you to rewrite the song or something?"

Shiratori Seiya shook his head and said:
"I didn't look for it, and it wouldn't have made a difference anyway."

"why?"

"Jiang Lang has run out of ideas."

I won!
A surge of pleasure welled up in Takahashi Mio's heart.

The feeling of victory after comparison excited her so much that goosebumps rose on her skin, and even her toes felt refreshed.

'Buzz.'

Before the afterglow of the climax could dissipate from her toes, the phone on the table suddenly lit up.

That's Shiratori Seiya's cell phone.

Mio Takahashi's gaze was instantly drawn to it.

"Hojo Shione: Can I treat you to a meal? I have something I want to tell you..."
