A moment later, Hui also gently broke the delicate atmosphere.

"What Yuta said are just baseless excuses. The reason why people feel comfortable around me is simply because I am a good listener."

"Maybe everyone just needs someone who's willing to stay by their side, someone who's invisible..."

"That's not how it is!" Kijima Yuta said with a serious expression, "Megumi's role is not just that of a simple listener, and you are not the invisible person you described. You are an indispensable and important friend to us!"

After hearing his words, Kato Megumi was also a little at a loss, pursing her lips, "Um..."

"How about this, Megumi? Come home with me this summer to meet my parents?" Seeing that Megumi was still like this, Yuta Kijima finally made up his mind and asked seriously.

"Huh?" Kato Megumi hadn't recovered from what she had just heard when she heard Yuta's explosive statement, and she was taken aback.

Why did Yuta suddenly say something so hard to believe? Meeting one's parents isn't something you can just say so easily.

"I..." Kato Megumi lowered her head nervously, unsure how to agree to this.

"What? Doesn't Megumi want to be with me in the future?" Seeing that Megumi's attention had finally been diverted, Kijima Yuta immediately said with a shameless grin.

"No! No... It's just, isn't this a bit too sudden?"

Kato Megumi hurriedly began to explain, then lowered her head again.

Seeing this, Kijima Yuta gently patted Megumi's head and whispered, "Don't worry, my mom will definitely like you."

"But if Hui thinks it's too early, that's okay. We'll have a chance to go back anytime in the future."

Feeling the warmth of the hand above her head, Kato Megumi gradually calmed down and slowly said, "Yuta is being too unfair..."

Kijima Yuta: "?"

"How am I supposed to respond to this...?"

Kato Megumi puffed out her cheeks slightly. In the end, Yuta actually threw this difficult question back at her. The key point is that the two of them are still young. Even though Japan does encourage early marriage, isn't this a bit too early?

Just thinking about meeting Yuta's parents right now makes her incredibly shy.

Kato Megumi tilted her head slightly, wrinkled her cute little nose, and said lightly, "Yuta always says such nice things..."

Seeing Megumi like this, Yuta Kijima was delighted. He knew that Megumi was beginning to open up her inner knots, although she hadn't fully recovered.

However, he believes that as long as Hui stays by his side, he will definitely become more confident.

Chapter 146 Pulling the hook

The two then remained silent for a while.

Yuta Kijima felt a sense of peace in his heart at this moment, and had a wish that time could stand still.

Lingering in that lingering feeling for a long time, the two looked at each other.

"So? If Hui still has that worry that I'll leave you, then I'll just take you to meet my parents?"

"Yuta is really cheating, what can I say..."

Kato Megumi tilted her head slightly. "Yuta, you're already willing to say you're taking me home to meet your parents, what else can I say?"

Seeing this, Yuta Kijima smiled slightly and said, "Then Megumi shouldn't dwell on these unfounded possibilities anymore."

Upon hearing this, Kato Megumi leaned closer and whispered in his ear.

"Who told you to have so many girls around you, Yuta... It's really infuriating..."

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Kijima Yuta's forehead. This just goes to show how charming I am. Besides, if I weren't so outstanding, I probably wouldn't even have had the courage to ask you to introduce me to your parents.

He coughed lightly and immediately changed the subject.

"It's about time, Hui, go back after you finish dinner."

Kato Megumi turned to look at the clock on the wall and realized it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, about two hours after they got home.

"Looking at it this way, I'm afraid to come to Yuta's house alone anymore..." Kato Megumi said softly.

Yuta Kijima naturally knew that this was Megumi teasing him, but since it was already time to eat, he would let it go for now.

"Huh? I was hoping that it would just be me and Hui from now on."

Yuta Kijima chuckled softly and got up to prepare dinner for the day.

"It seems that Yuta has not only become more outstanding, but he has also become a different person than before."

Kato Megumi looked up and gave him a cute glare, but when she saw Kijima Yuta heading towards the kitchen, she quickly got up and followed him.

……

The sky gradually darkened.

After confirming that the wound on Kijima Yuta's back had completely scabbed over, Kato Megumi took his leave. However, at Kijima Yuta's repeated requests, he personally escorted Megumi to the train station.

“Megumi, I’m not joking. If you’re willing, we can go home to meet my parents anytime.” Kijima Yuta stared into Kato Megumi’s eyes and said seriously again.

"Hmm... I understand." Kato Megumi smiled gently. Since Yuta had already given her such a guarantee, it wouldn't be too difficult for her to muster the courage to meet his parents.

However, she still has some time to prepare herself mentally.

After nodding, Kato Megumi said goodbye to Kijima Yuta and prepared to enter the station.

But then, suddenly, Yuta Kijima grabbed her little hand, and Kato Megumi looked at her in confusion and asked, "Yuta?"

"If anything upsets you in the future, you must tell me right away," Yuta Kijima said, staring into Megumi Kato's calm eyes.

"Yuta, don't you trust my ability to regulate my emotions?"

Kato Megumi looked up, her pink lips slightly parted.

Kijima and she shook their heads with a smile upon hearing this: "It's not that I don't trust Kei, it's just that I feel Kei sometimes doesn't need to bear unnecessary pressure on herself."

If it weren't for this heart-to-heart talk, he really wouldn't feel at ease if Hui continued to live with this kind of mentality.

In fact, Hui's mental state is not very special.

He had seen many similar examples online. Simply put, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get the desired results. If this continued, it would be very dangerous.

This situation can be seen in the case of students. Some people are naturally gifted and can play freely after reading a book once, while others are not cut out for studying. No matter how hard they study every day, the final results are not satisfactory.

The worst outcome is that people with poor mental fortitude will develop negative thoughts.

Although Kei's usual mental state wasn't too bad, Kijima Yuta didn't want to tolerate even the slightest possibility of making a mistake.

Seeing that Kijima Yuta's tone was very serious, Kato Megumi nodded slightly: "Don't worry, Yuta. If I ever have anything I want to talk about in the future, you have to keep your promise and be there immediately!"

Seeing this, Yuta Kijima smiled and nodded, "Of course, why don't we get it stamped?"

"Stamp?" Kato Megumi glanced at him and asked.

Yuta Kijima: "It's a pinky promise."

"Oh." Kato Megumi nodded. "Then let's get it stamped. I'm wondering what the penalties would be for breach of contract?"

"Swallow needles," Yuta Kijima warned. "Those who break the contract will have to swallow a thousand needles..."

"Hmm... then let's forget about it," Kato Megumi said softly.

Yuta Kijima was a little confused.

"It's nothing..." Kato Megumi hesitated for a moment, then reached out and hooked her hand with Kijima Yuta's, chanting a spell as she did so.

But in the end, she still didn't say it aloud.

After all, if Yuta really has a better choice in the future, she will definitely not stop him. She doesn't want Yuta to go to someone better than her.

……

Silent all night.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

Yuta Kijima got up on time, drew back the curtains, and glanced at the bright sunshine outside the window.

After a quick wash, I returned to the workspace to finish the cosplay outfit that was still a little unfinished.

After finishing, Yuta Kijima picked up his phone, which was lying to the side, and sent a message to Megumi.

"Megumi, how are things going with Shoko and the others?"

After a short while, Hui replied to the message, her words no longer showing the shyness she had yesterday.

"Hmm... We've only been together for a short while. We just browsed around the food stalls downstairs in the teaching building. We'll be checking out the activities being held by each class later."

"After I told Shoko about the fortune-telling event your class was holding, they seemed quite interested. They'll probably go try it out later, right?"

When Yuta Kijima saw Megumi's message, he smiled knowingly, thinking that everything was going well.

"What dishes would you like to eat this afternoon?" Yuta Kijima asked as he turned on his laptop. "I'll head out to buy groceries after I finish reading my senior's manuscript."

"Hmm... anything Yuta makes is delicious. Let me ask Shoko and Yuzuru."

Hui replied quickly, and after a moment, "Glass is fine, but Yuzuru is craving tempura, and the salt and pepper chicken wings we had the time before last."

Yuta Kijima replied, "Understood."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Yuta."

"It's my honor to cook for the lovely Hui..."

As expected, Hui didn't reply after that.

Yuta Kijima smiled slightly, put away his phone, and began to seriously read the manuscript that he had saved on his computer for a long time.

Chapter 147 Senior Student in Trouble

"What? Is my senior kid kidding me?"

Yuta Kijima looked at the document on the computer screen with a puzzled expression, somewhat astonished.

Aren't these common descriptive issues?

Communication between couples, including the psychological descriptions of each other, has become a common form of intimacy between them.

This should be the simplest question for an experienced senior like her, so why would she need to help with the review?

Machida Sonoko could probably handle that, right?

Yuta Kijima couldn't help but fall into thought, wondering what the significance was of his senior entrusting him with this matter.

After a moment's thought, Yuta Kijima pulled out the first three volumes of "Love Metronome" from the bookshelf and began to read them carefully from beginning to end.

He didn't put down the third volume until he felt increasingly hungry.
