Shizuka Hiratsuka doesn't understand love!

Chapter 357: That depends on your ability, Xiaojing~

"Okay, okay, I was just saying it casually."

Smiling and waving her hands, Sachiko Hiratsuka knew that now was not the time for her to tease Shizuka Hiratsuka.

Although from Sachiko Hiratsuka's perspective, she was mentally prepared, she was not that touched when Shizuka Hiratsuka said that the person she liked might be a woman.

After all, Shizuka Hiratsuka has been unpopular with men for many years, and as her mother, how could she not know this?

After countless efforts failed, Sachiko Hiratsuka followed her heart and gave up on this forced practice, which would only make the melon sweet.

After all, for Sachiko Hiratsuka, it is not so much that she wants Shizuka Hiratsuka to get married smoothly, but rather that she wants Shizuka Hiratsuka to find someone who can accompany her and Hiratsuka Shizuka until old age and support each other even after she and Hiratsuka Seungri grow old together.

Sachiko Hiratsuka didn't want her beloved woman to spend her whole life alone, as that kind of life would be too bitter.

As for who will be standing next to Shizuka Hiratsuka, to be honest, Sachiko Hiratsuka doesn't really care anymore.

As for Hiratsuka Shengli, Hiratsuka Sachiko is confident that she can convince him. After all, her doting on Hiratsuka Shizuka is far less than that on Hiratsuka Shengli.

If Sachiko Hiratsuka couldn't handle it herself, she would let Shizuka Hiratsuka run to him and cry a few times, and Sachiko Hiratsuka would think that there would be no problem.

As long as Shizuka Hiratsuka can live a happy life, let's leave the hopes for her and Hiratsuka's victory to science.

However, although Sachiko Hiratsuka was very open-minded, it was Shizuka Hiratsuka herself who was in a deadlock and confusion.

"So, Xiaojing, you can't be sure who you like in your heart now, right?" Sachiko Hiratsuka slowly stood up, walked to the wine cabinet beside her and took out a clean high-heeled glass, then sat back next to Shizuka Hiratsuka, took the decanter and slowly poured herself half a glass.

"The first person to confess her love to you was Miss Fengzi. She let you know her love for you, and it also made you realize that the person you like might be a woman. And after a while of discovering this, you felt that you liked her too."

"And, just when you thought everything would fall into place, Xiao Yangnai disrupted your train of thought and interrupted you rudely, telling you the feelings she had always had in her heart."

"So you're in a state of complete confusion now, huh?"

"Yes." Looking at Sachiko Hiratsuka who was sitting next to her, holding the highball glass in one hand and slowly shaking it, Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded slightly.

She was indeed confused!

Strictly speaking, after Fujiko expressed her feelings to herself and did something that touched her heart, Shizuka Hiratsuka was able to confirm that she really had Fujiko in her heart!

But Shizuka Hiratsuka did not expect that when Haruno pinched her shoulders and cried to her with tears in her eyes today, her heart would be shaken so much.

At that moment, Shizuka Hiratsuka had no intention of blaming Haruno at all. The memories that flashed through her mind were the happy and tacit experiences she had with Haruno in the past.

As she said before, she couldn't bear to see Yang No cry.

If the relationship with Fujiko is like dry firewood, which ignites at the touch of a button without much preparation, then the relationship between Haruno and herself can be said to have melted into every bit of Shizuka Hiratsuka's life. It is usually subtle and silent, but when Shizuka Hiratsuka wakes up, she finds that those experiences are so profound and so shaken.

Yukinoshita Haruno can be said to be the person who has the greatest influence on Shizuka Hiratsuka, and this is something Shizuka Hiratsuka cannot deny.

"Is that so? This is indeed a very difficult thing to do." After taking a sip of red wine, Sachiko Hiratsuka put down the goblet in her hand and looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka with gentle eyes.

"Even I can't give any good advice on this kind of relationship."

"But Xiaojing, what Mom wants you to remember is that the person who can accompany you for a lifetime and grow old happily with you is never someone you choose reluctantly! If you make a reluctant choice due to circumstances, it would be irresponsible to anyone in the relationship!"

"Don't be anxious, calm down, look carefully with your own eyes, and feel carefully with your own heart. In the end, whoever appears next to you will make your heart beat fast, who will make you smile, and who will make you feel relaxed and comfortable."

"When you come to this conclusion, Xiaojing, you will know who you like." Raising her hand and gently touching Shizuka Hiratsuka's head, Sachiko Hiratsuka said softly.

"Remember what Mom and Dad told you when you were little?"

"I can't satisfy everyone, but I just want to do my best to live up to my conscience." Nodding heavily, Hiratsuka Shizuka said in a deep voice.

"I always remember that, Mom."

"Well, that's no problem. I believe my daughter will handle it very well." Nodding with a smile, Sachiko Hiratsuka slowly stood up with her hands on her shawl, then bent down slightly and kissed Shizuka Hiratsuka lightly on the forehead.

"Don't drink anymore. Go get some sleep. The weather will be nice tomorrow."

"Yeah!" With the corners of her mouth slightly relaxed, Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled and nodded.

Although Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't feel that she had come up with any good solution, her mood at the moment was indeed greatly relieved.

Not so impatient, not so flustered, able to calm down and think carefully about how to face the feelings of Haruno and Fujiko towards him.

"Mom, what should I do if I feel those feelings from different people?~" Leaning back in the chair, Shizuka Hiratsuka cheered herself up, grinned and called out to Sachiko Hiratsuka who had already turned around.

"That depends on your ability, Xiaojing." Sachiko Hiratsuka tilted her face, which looked more elegant and graceful under the sculpting of time, and outlined a faint smile.

"As long as you can handle it and bring them all home, your father and I won't mind!~"

"But then, it will be you, Xiaojing, who will be worried. After all, I don't believe they will cause me any trouble, right~"

"...Tsk, you're right, go and rest quickly." Shizuka Hiratsuka's expression kept changing as she nodded with a wry smile.

"Huh, as expected, it's so difficult to gain the verbal advantage from my mother." Looking at Sachiko Hiratsuka's back slowly disappearing through the closed door, Shizuka Hiratsuka sighed and shook her head.

"Gulp~Crack~" Looking at the wine glass on the table, Shizuka Hiratsuka blinked, reached out her hand and drank the red wine in the glass.

When the wine glass landed on the table, Shizuka Hiratsuka's eyes, which had reopened, became clear and firm.

"Let's have a good chat with Yang Nai tomorrow!"

Chapter 358 I'm Already Prepared

"Cough cough!"

Sitting at a seat in the coffee shop, Shizuka Hiratsuka held the coffee in both hands, which had been served for almost twenty minutes but was still full, and looked at the familiar figure who slowly walked in from the door of the coffee shop with a somewhat conflicted look.

"Good afternoon, Xiaojing, have you eaten?" With a smile on her face, Yang No raised her hand and waved to Hiratsuka Shizuka. She was still paying attention to the quiet atmosphere in the coffee shop and greeted her softly after walking in.

"I've eaten." Nodding slightly, Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't know what to say for a moment.

After all, Yang No's reaction was a little too relaxed. Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't accept that the person in front of her who greeted her with a smile was the girl who was in so much pain in her arms yesterday.

However, if she calmed down and thought about it carefully, Shizuka Hiratsuka could accept it.

Since Yang Noi has decided to reveal everything to me, no matter how excited her attitude was yesterday, after she agreed to meet me today, she must have thought about everything she could think of before she dared to appear in front of me so openly.

"Is Xiaojing weird?~" Looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka who was sitting opposite her with some happiness, Yang No seemed to be somewhat satisfied with the strange look in Shizuka Hiratsuka's eyes when she looked at her.

"A little bit at the beginning, but it's acceptable." Shaking her head slightly, Shizuka Hiratsuka picked up the somewhat cold coffee in her hand and took the first sip.

"After all, she's Haruno. Yesterday was enough for that kind of indiscretion, wasn't it?"

"As expected of you, Xiaojing, you really understand me~" Yang Nai nodded with a smile, covering her cheeks with her hands embarrassedly as if she was praised.

"I don't mean to praise you." Looking at Yang No's performance with some helplessness, Shizuka Hiratsuka sighed slightly, but she did feel a little relieved in her heart.

After all, compared to the crying, aggrieved and sad Haruno, Shizuka Hiratsuka still prefers the Haruno who always smiles like a little fox.

"I was indeed a little nervous and worried at first. After all, yesterday, on impulse, I chose to confess my feelings to you, Xiaojing." With her elbows on the table, Yang No supported her head with both hands and winked mischievously at Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"At that time, I really said it with the heart of a desperate struggle! After all, after all these years, I also know how Xiaojing sees me! If possible, I don't want to do it so suddenly."

"After returning home yesterday, I was so worried, Xiaojing, that you would never talk to me again!"

"But weren't you very happy when you came today? I didn't see you nervous or worried at all." Blinking gently, Shizuka Hiratsuka complained softly.

When Yang No appeared today, she looked like she had won the lottery. Where was the uneasy feeling she described?

"That's because you, Xiaojing, took the initiative to call me this morning!~" Hearing what Shizuka Hiratsuka said, Yang No nodded with shining eyes, and the joy in her tone could no longer be concealed.

"I woke up at four this morning and was looking at my phone the whole time."

"I've already made up my mind. If you don't call me today, Xiaojing, I'm going to go to your house and risk my pride to see you. Then I'll shamelessly get close to you!"

"However, Xiaojing finally softened her heart!~"

"Tsk." For some reason, looking at the smiling Haruno sitting opposite her, Hiratsuka Shizuka felt so bad.

Am I being too lenient with her?

"Okay, Xiaojing, don't be angry!~" Just as Shizuka Hiratsuka was secretly speculating, Yang No did not give Shizuka Hiratsuka a chance to continue thinking.

After noticing that Shizuka Hiratsuka had fallen silent, he quickly stood up, walked over to Shizuka Hiratsuka and sat down, his arms naturally around Shizuka Hiratsuka's arms.

Raising her head pitifully, Yang No started to act coquettishly towards Hiratsuka Shizuka without considering the occasion.

"I'm just so happy to receive your call, Xiaojing, really!"

"Okay." Shizuka Hiratsuka pursed her lips and looked at Yang No who was looking at her eagerly, but she didn't say anything harsh.

After all, although Haruno behaved as usual, when she came closer, Hiratsuka Shizuka still clearly noticed the tension and worry in her eyes that she wanted to hide but couldn't hide very well.

Looking at Yang No such cautiousness, Hiratsuka Shizuka's heart couldn't help but soften again.

"Yang No, come sit over there and let's have a good chat." Pinching her forehead, Shizuka Hiratsuka exclaimed softly and spoke to Yang No in a calm voice.

"Yeah." After letting go of Hiratsuka Shizuka's arm, Yang Noi sat back without any hesitation, her eyes never leaving Hiratsuka Shizuka's face.

"To be honest, when I heard what you said yesterday, Yang No, I was indeed confused, but things between us can't continue to change like this, right?" Shizuka Hiratsuka's voice was a little low, tapping her fingers lightly on the table.

"If, Yang No, I rejected your feelings, what would you do?"

"What if Xiaojing rejects me?" Although what came out of Hiratsuka Shizuka's mouth were the coldest and most desperate words to Haruno, there was no sadness on Haruno's expression at the moment.

She just smiled faintly, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka in front of her.

"Then I might pretend to listen to Xiaojing obediently, and then continue to stay close to Xiaojing, constantly trying to find ways to make Xiaojing adapt to my existence and my feelings for you!"

"Even if Xiaojing realizes what I've done and pushes me away again and again in anger and annoyance, I will shamelessly move closer and stand by your side."

"Even if I'm exhausted, even if I'm covered in wounds, as long as I still have a breath left, I will run to you, Xiaojing, without any regrets."

Holding her chin with one hand, Yang No slowly leaned forward, extended her right hand, and gently touched the tip of Hiratsuka Shizuka's nose with her index finger.

"Until the day I die!"

"..." Shizuka Hiratsuka was speechless as she silently looked at the smiling Haruno in front of her.

She knew very well that what Yang Nai said in such a calm tone at this moment was what she would definitely do.

She is a stubborn girl, and Shizuka Hiratsuka realized this very early on.

"Yang Nori, you really are..."

"What I did was really despicable!~" Yono smiled and continued to listen to Shizuka Hiratsuka's words. A trace of sadness flashed across her face, but she soon smiled again.

"I've told you, Xiao Jing, I'll do whatever it takes to be by your side!"

"I'm ready!"

Chapter 359: Three Four Nine's New Movie

In the end, Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't say anything extreme like "What if your choice makes me feel embarrassed and sad?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka knew very well that if Haruno's behavior made her feel embarrassed and sad, then it would cause even more pain for Haruno herself.

Even though Shizuka Hiratsuka understood that Haruno was indeed taking advantage of her feelings and her personality, she really couldn't say anything harsher.

Yang No, who has always cared about her image and her mood, told herself frankly what kind of mood she was in. Even if she knew that it would make her feel dissatisfied, she had to say it honestly, and she would stand by her side no matter what means she used.

Shizuka Hiratsuka felt that even though she had known Haruno for such a long time, she didn't dare to guess.

She was just embarrassed, but Yang No was in pain.

Such a contrast made it impossible for Shizuka Hiratsuka to completely put herself on the side of the "victim".

After all, when Shizuka Hiratsuka calmed down and thought about this matter carefully, she found it very embarrassing that after Haruno took the initiative to lift the veil between them, she could not honestly tell herself that her feelings for Haruno were just ordinary friends.

Scenes from the past kept flashing back in Shizuka Hiratsuka's mind, and the figures of Haruno and Fujiko kept interweaving in Shizuka Hiratsuka's mind.

She couldn't make any judgment.

"In the end, I didn't have the heart to reject Yang No." Sitting in the driver's seat of the car, Shizuka Hiratsuka silently lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, as if wanting to use the smoke to sweep away the depression and irritability in her heart.

She had no way to refuse Yang Noi.

What made Shizuka Hiratsuka even more annoyed was the inexplicable joy that she couldn't control rising in her heart.

'That depends on your ability, Xiaojing~' The teasing words of Hiratsuka Sachiko suddenly rang in her mind. Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes twitched, and she took another deep puff of the cigarette before extinguishing it in the car's ashtray.

"Shizuka Hiratsuka, you are such a bastard!!!" The accelerator roared, and the moment the traffic light changed, the car under Shizuka Hiratsuka rushed out like a wild horse, leaving only bursts of irritated shouts in its place.
