My new wife discovered my past

◆

"Is the movie ticket for the newly released movie 'A Bouquet of Love'? I heard it's getting high reviews."

"Yes, it's starring Sugawara Masaya and Arimura Junko. This is the only movie worth watching recently..."

Even though I know that this love movie is a failure, there is nothing I can do about it. There are just too many bad movies recently.

However, what makes Watanabe Toru curious is that the actors who play the male and female protagonists in the movie look exactly like Masaki Suda and Kasumi Arimura in the previous life, but their names are very different, which is also strange.

They chatted about random things, discussed the time and place of their Golden Week date, as well as interesting things in study and life. They completely regained the atmosphere of chatting online, worked together to cook, and laughed all the time.

Everywhere is the life that each other dreams of.

Just before the deep-fried pork cutlet was ready, Horiguchi Rika and Momozawa Mitsu'e came back with some wine.

"Huh? Wine!?" Shimizu Noriko was surprised and asked, "Rika, and Mitsueda, how did you buy the wine?"

In the island country, minors under the age of 20 are not allowed to drink alcohol, let alone buy alcohol.

"Not only did I enter school a year later, I also had to repeat a year in my freshman year of high school. I'm already 20 years old this year, don't you know that, Noriko? Ah... I'm so sad, I feel like my heart is going to break."

Noriko Shimizu was speechless: "You didn't tell us, how would I know."

In fact, Noriko Shimizu also did not tell her two roommates that she also entered school a year later and prepared for an extra year in order to be admitted to Waseda University.

"Eh?? I'm the freshman representative of Waseda University this year, the freshman representative! My deeds were reported during the publicity, right? Mitsue is like this, and you, Noriko, are the same, you haven't paid attention to my glorious deeds! Wuwuwu..."

It's an honor for Waseda University to have a student like you...

Watanabe Toru didn't want to complain about her, so he asked directly: "Then why did you buy wine?"

"Wow~! Watanabe-san is so mean... Noriko doesn't like boys like that~"

Shimizu Noriko glared at her in dissatisfaction. She felt strange in her heart, but she did not forget to speak up for Watanabe: "Rika, stop talking nonsense. Just like Watanabe said, what do you want to do by buying wine?"

"Of course we buy sake to drink it!" Horiguchi Rika and Momozawa Mitsu'e walked into the living room and placed the sake on the low table:

"You spent so much time and energy preparing dinner. How can we eat it if we don't do anything?"

"So you bought some wine?"

Noriko Shimizu began to bring the dishes to the low table. Everything was ready, and the white rice was also cooked and fragrant. Now we could eat.

"Just drink a little bit, just think of it as a way to cultivate your sentiments!"

The little horse nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes! That night under the cherry tree, I watched the seniors drinking while enjoying the cherry blossoms. I was almost envious! Today is a rare spring rainy day, it's a good time to drink!"

When Shimizu Noriko heard this, she transformed into Uchiha Itachi and reached out to touch the stupid little horse's forehead: "Isn't it a good time to drink? Among the four of us, you are the only one who is underage. You absolutely cannot drink!"

"Eh... just me? Isn't Watanabe-san also..."

"Watanabe-san is like me and Rikaka. We all started school a year later and also failed a grade. Well, that's roughly what we said. It's a bit complicated, so I won't go into details."

“Eh, eh!!!???”

"What a fuss, Mitsuji, why are you yelling so loudly?"

Horiguchi Rika was not surprised that they were also 20 years old, but she did not understand the rule that "minors cannot drink alcohol" and refuted Shimizu Noriko: "What do you mean minors cannot drink alcohol no matter what? There are such laws and regulations, but there is no precise coercive power like magic and spells that can be used to force individuals, right?

"It's nothing more than that novels and TV dramas always emphasize this, which invisibly puts a layer of moral shackles on minors in the island country!

"It's just drinking, it's not an unforgivable crime like murder or robbery, so what if he really drank?

"Just drink moderately and don't drink too much, right?"

There is some truth to what Rika Horiguchi said.

Seeing the little horse eager to try, Jizi knew that she couldn't persuade it.

And, most importantly... Noriko Shimizu has never drunk alcohol.

She said she was 20 years old, but in fact she would not be considered an adult until summer, after August 8th.

So Jiko also wanted to break this taboo and taste the wine.

It's not just about drinking, there are other things too...

The only exception was Toru Watanabe, who refused outright: "You guys can drink if you want. I won't drink."

Well, Watanabe has a shadow over drunkenness.

Similarly, he also has a shadow over drunken crazy women.

Knowing that persuading Watanabe to drink would only get her into trouble, Horiguchi Rika was tactful enough not to bring it upon him.

Their goal tonight was to get Noriko drunk, so that they could find an excuse to stay at Watanabe's apartment and it would also facilitate their action at night.

It would be troublesome if Watanabe got drunk.

At this point, in order to avoid causing trouble for Watanabe, Shimizu Noriko emphasized to them:

"You can drink, but you have to drink only a little. This is not our own dormitory..."

Noriko Shimizu's words were very clear. Horiguchi Rika and Momozawa Mitsueda quickly agreed, but kept muttering in their hearts.

"We're planning to stay the night while we're drunk~!"

◆

There was a simple division of labor before the meal. Watanabe was clearing the low table and kotatsu for the reception, Noriko was serving the prepared dishes one by one, and Horiguchi Rika was washing the wine glasses.

When Watanabe says he doesn't drink, he only drinks with women; he still drinks by himself in private.

Although he is not yet 20 years old, he still has ways to drink.

Momozawa Mitsue is serving rice. It is not easy to get drunk if you drink and eat at the same time.

There was a small low table with four people sitting on each side. They crawled into the kotatsu and made comfortable sounds.

"I'm starting~" ×4

"Wait a minute! Let's have a toast before we take our first bite! Thank you Watanabe-san and Noriko-chan for preparing such a wonderful dinner~!"

"All my words of thanks are in this glass of wine. I'll drink it. Feel free to drink as you please~!" Horiguchi Rika raised the glass high and drank it all in one gulp.

Kiko and Xiaozhima, who had just taken a sip of sake, were stunned, and Watanabe, who was drinking hot tea, also glanced at them.

"Hey, hey ~ Li Xiangxiang ~ don't drink so much. It will be troublesome if you drink too much!" Jiko reminded her.

"It's okay, it's okay! With a small cup like this, I won't get drunk even if I drink ten more cups!" Horiguchi Rika patted her 90° tan chest and made a bold statement.

Jiko stopped talking to her and just stared at her wine glass, silently memorizing the amount.

The braised fish, mapo tofu, and even the simple fried pork chop received unanimous praise from several people. This is the dominance of Noriko Shimizu's cooking.

When it was Watanabe's turn to make the Sukiyaki pot, everyone ate it in silence.

Noriko Shimizu didn't know whether she should go against her conscience and give a stiff compliment. She thought it was too fake, but she also felt that Watanabe, who was quietly eating and not saying a word, was really pitiful.

Then she realized belatedly - what? It seems like Watanabe-san is not the kind of person who cares about such trivial matters!

Noriko stopped wasting time and energy, and started eating with the bowl and food in an elegant and graceful manner. The faint and graceful smile on the corners of her lips was the most delicious delicacy, and Watanabe ate even more enthusiastically.

He had a very enjoyable meal. It was the first time he had eaten the food cooked by Shimizu-san, and Watanabe Toru had the idea of ​​eating her for the rest of his life.

Well, there is one more reason to pursue Shimizu-san.

What also made Watanabe feel comfortable was that everyone at the table was fully engaged in eating and chatting, and there was no harassment from any nymphomaniacs under the table.

He could sit cross-legged with his legs straight and not worry about some giant python, black, white or some other color, trying to wrap around him.

During dinner, Noriko and Momozawa left the table and went to the bathroom.

Horiguchi Rika took the opportunity to take their wine glasses and refill them, and even did so in front of them, which caused Noriko to give her a few more warnings. Horiguchi had no choice but to beg for mercy, "This is the last glass, the second glass is the last one!"

Then, in a blind spot where Watanabe couldn't see, even fooling the little horse, Horiguchi Rika crushed a small piece of broken tablet into powder and mixed it into Noriko's wine glass, where it quickly dissolved.

Her expression was calm and her movements were skillful and smooth, like a well-trained agent.

Horiguchi Rika's talent cannot be said to be very good. Only Horiguchi Rika herself knows the hardships she endured in the past three years in order to be admitted to Waseda University.

So it makes sense for her to always have some medication in her bag, right?

When Noriko came back, even though she hadn't drunk any more, Horiguchi Rika was not in a hurry. She seized the opportunity, persuaded her to drink again, and waited quietly.

After about 20 minutes, Noriko Shimizu realized that something was wrong with her body.

My head feels so swollen, my feet feel so heavy, but my body feels so light... I feel like I'm about to fly...

She was surprised that she got drunk after drinking less than two glasses. Is her alcohol tolerance so poor?

"No, no, I have to go back. I can't disturb Tetsuya-kun anymore..."

This was the only thought in Noriko Shimizu's mind at the moment. She supported her body and barely stood up. Watanabe, Horiguchi and Momozawa immediately noticed that she was staggering, as if she was drunk.

Watanabe quickly stood up and pretended to support Shimizu to prevent him from falling to the ground.

Who knew that when Shimizu Noriko saw Watanabe reaching out to touch her, she jumped away in fright. Fortunately, Xiaozhima and Horiguchi Rika supported her together, otherwise she would have fallen to the ground.

Watanabe Toru didn't expect Shimizu-san to react so strongly.

"Are you rejecting my physical contact? Do you hate me? Or...?"

He didn't give it much thought, nor did he have the time, because Shimizu-san was in a very bad situation right now.

"Rika~Mizue-chan~Dinner is ready, we should go back!"

Noriko Shimizu shook her head and stood still. Even though she knew she was getting drunk, she still maintained proper etiquette so as not to go crazy and make a fool of herself.

"It would be rude to disturb Watanabe-san again~~"

"But, Kiko-chan, are you really okay like this?"

Horiguchi Rika also held her other hand, supported Shimizu Noriko, and said anxiously with an acting skill that was worthy of the Best Newcomer Award: "What should we do? Noriko, if you pass out drunk halfway, we two girls won't be able to lift you!"

How could Watanabe allow this to happen?

Given that Shimizu-san doesn't seem to accept physical contact, there is only one solution.

He said, "Stay tonight, otherwise I won't be at ease with you three girls. It's already late."

"It's okay, it's okay! Don't worry, Watanabe-san. I'm still conscious now. I won't disturb you if I can make it to the dormitory!"

Perhaps under the influence of alcohol, the girl's fair skin, as white as cold jade, began to blush, reflecting each other in patches, bright and brilliant like the orange clouds in the sky.

She smiled beautifully. It was fortunate that it was night time, otherwise the rainy sky would be exposed.

Facing such a bright and unrestrained smiling face, and the eyes full of spring water, it was like a cold and elegant beauty slightly opening her lips, and the gentian branch in her mouth fell naturally, and only the pink and rosy lips closed again, and the slight gap that appeared aroused Watanabe Toru's endless reverie.
