Tokyo: My debt collection methods are a bit off.

Does this mean that personality is really something we are born with?

Thinking about it, Yuki Takayanagi's expression turned dejected again.

Hoshino Jun noticed every change in her expression.

Looking out at the road outside the hotel, where cars and people were coming and going, Hoshino Jun vaguely remembered that he and Takayanagi Shiro had walked on this road together before.

Gaoliu City was quite nice back then.

Before Takayanagi Shiro fell in love with Yamada Kaoru, he was similar to Hoshino Jun, being kind to his friends and caring enough to his family and neighbors.

Before Hoshino Jun rejected Yamada Kaoru, he was still studying hard with Hoshino Jun.

Despite lacking natural talent, he made up for it with hard work, managing to get into the school run by the Yamada family by sheer volume of practice questions.

As for why it has become like this?

Hoshino Junya never expected that simply because the proud young lady cried on the day she rejected Yamada Kaoru, she could drive the completely unrelated Takayanagi Shiro to such a frenzy.

It can only be said that love numbs people, and a simp is the king of numbness.

"Lord Cheng, it's a real shame."

These are Hoshino Jun's true feelings: if Takayanagi Shiro hadn't pursued Yamada Kaoru, he probably would have had a wonderful life.

Simps never get a good death.

Hearing Hoshino Jun's regretful tone, Takayanagi Yuuki slowly lowered her head, her already unattractive expression becoming even more gloomy.

"Aunt Yuki, it's getting windy, we should go home."

"Ah."

April weather is unpredictable; half an hour ago it was sunny and bright, but half an hour later the sky was filled with dark, heavy clouds.

Hoshino Jun stood up, paid for the meal first, and turned her gaze to Takayanagi Yuuki, who was still in a daze.

He could do nothing about the dark clouds in the sky, but he could start working on dispelling the gloom in Aunt Yuki's heart.

【Charm: 9】

Occupation: Supermarket cashier

[Food: A lovingly prepared bento box for six and a half years.]

"Xiao Chun, why did you pay? Auntie should be treating you."

Yuuki Takayanagi, snapping out of her daze, exclaimed in surprise and immediately began to take out her wallet to give change to Jun Hoshino.

But Hoshino Jun walked quickly and was the first to walk out of the restaurant in just a few steps, with Takayanagi Yuuki following behind in high heels.

The enormous wealth emanating from her chest fluctuated constantly, and her long pink dress danced gracefully.

The graceful curves of her thighs, and the glimpses of her fair skin peeking out from under her skirt, all exuded an indescribable allure with each step of Yuuki Takayanagi.

"Xiao Chun, wait a moment, Auntie will give you the money."

A mature, beautiful woman chased after a young man, drawing attention from onlookers.

As they returned to the fourth floor of the apartment, the boy suddenly turned around, and Yuki Takayanagi, along with the ball, crashed into his arms.

The softness and elasticity, which could be felt even through the clothes, made Hoshino Jun feel a tingling, itchy sensation in her heart.

"Xiao Chun, I'm sorry."

The impact was so strong that Yuki Takayanagi felt a squeezing pain in her chest.

Just as Yuki Takayanagi was about to leave Jun Hoshino's embrace, Jun Hoshino suddenly seized the opportunity to wrap his arms around her slender waist.

"Yuki~"

The affectionate address made Yuki Takayanagi's heart skip a beat, and she almost dropped her wallet.

Xiao Chun, why are you suddenly calling me that again?

They're all home now, so isn't it all over?

"Yuki, didn't you want to ask me why I'm better than other kids?"

Hoshino Jun leaned down and pressed his cheek close to Takayanagi Yuuki's. He could clearly feel that today, Takayanagi Yuuki no longer resisted the embrace as she had in the past.

It was as if she had subconsciously come to believe that Hoshino Jun hugging her was no big deal.

As Hoshino Jun hugged her tighter and tighter, Takayanagi Yuuki's face turned rosy. Especially when Hoshino Jun spoke, his hot breath brushed against her cheeks, making her feel as light as if she had been given a muscle relaxant.

"Uh, Xiaochun, let's not talk about this now, it's time to go home."

"Ok!"

For some reason, even though Hoshino Jun didn't want to, her hand involuntarily moved down and landed on Takayanagi Yuuki's thigh.

He leaned on the beautiful woman's shoulder, his murmurs as soft as a dream.

"I've actually been learning from you all along."

"I have always seen your gentleness, your family-oriented nature, and your strength and courage, and I am trying my best to emulate you."

"Over the years, I have come to understand how difficult things have been for you."

"I really want to take care of you, can you give me a chance?"

"Yuki."

The afternoon sun shone down on this land.

Yuki Takayanagi leaned against the boy's chest, listening to the pounding of his heart.

The boy's declaration of love was so sudden that it left her bewildered, confused, and quite surprised.

The blush on her face was like peach blossom petals, exceptionally beautiful.

"Xiao Chun."

"Yuki, call my name."

He licked his slightly dry lips.

Hoshino Jun reluctantly released the soft body in his arms, gazed into Takayanagi Yuuki's eyes, and lowered his head to maintain a suitable distance with her, yet still able to feel the other's warmth.

"Come to my house, or open the door and come to your house."

"No matter what you think, please let me finish saying what I have to say to you."

"Give me a chance to finish what I have to say, okay?"

After speaking, Hoshino Jun slowly approached, stopping just before kissing Takayanagi Yuuki, seemingly seeking her opinion.

This was the first time they had conceded so readily.

Her warm, moist breath kept spraying onto her pink lips, delicate nose, and cheeks. Yuuki Takayanagi seemed drunk, her expression slightly tipsy, and the blush on her cheeks growing stronger.

The scene of Hoshino Jun standing in front of her to protect her flashed through Takayanagi Yuuki's mind again.

There was also the time when Hoshino Jun scolded Takayanagi Shiro for her, and then turned around and said nice things about Takayanagi Shiro to comfort her.

He was so reliable.

If she were eighteen, Yuuki Takayanagi would definitely kiss her without hesitation at this moment.

However, she was already in her thirties.

The age difference is too great, which is ultimately an insurmountable barrier.

Reason told her to refuse!

"But, Jun, that girl named Yamada Kaoru doesn't like you. You can be with her."

"She pursued me, but I rejected her."

Hoshino Jun moved a little closer and gently stroked her burning cheek.

The moment their skin touched, Yuuki Takayanagi's heart trembled, and as Jun Hoshino drew closer, her throat went dry.

I really want to kiss this reliable boy.

But at this moment, Yuki Takayanagi suddenly thought of another problem.

"Xiaochun, I found out about what happened between you and that girl named Kato Nana in the bathroom."

on the street.

The dark clouds hung low, obscuring the sunlight.

Gao Liucheng walked alone on the street, like a walking corpse.

He was exhausted and hungry, his stomach rumbling incessantly.

"I made Mom sad today, so never mind."

Several times he took out his phone, wanting to ask where his mother was and if she could give him a little money, but each time he found the contact, he didn't have the courage to press the call button.

Recalling his mother's tears and Hoshino Jun's accusations, Takayanagi Shiro felt deeply ashamed.
