People in Tokyo, the world is clear

He even looked up as if he had anticipated it, his eyes reflecting her movements.

He curled up the corners of his mouth at her happily and relaxedly.

This was probably a shameless and shameless reaction. Therefore, the subsequent beatings and kicks could not help but continue for a while.

The flamingo stopped moving only when fatigue began to creep over it.

After adjusting his breathing several times, he bit his lower lip and stopped doing what he had just done.

He just lowered his head, looked down at his face as he looked up at him, and resumed his serious expression.

"Have you considered this decision thoroughly? Are you waiting for a conclusion between you and me...how does she feel?"

It seems unexpected but it is reasonable.

She actually cared about a girl who wasn't there. Clearly, one night before, she had tried her best to declare war on her.

Obviously, after the impulsive emotions dissipated, her original heart, which had been immersed in entanglement and pain, was still clear.

A kind and sensible person still chooses to hurt himself in the end.

"So, this is probably why you sparkle in my eyes, Sasagawa Rio."

"?"

"After all, even in this situation, your first reaction is to care about Ito's situation and feelings."

The serious tone and straightforward revelation startled the woman.

But he quickly frowned and glared at me fiercely.

Then she turned her face away, looking towards the distant sea:

"I'm not as kind as you think. I just feel some sympathy for the bastard-kun because his evil nature has finally been exposed."

She crossed her arms as she stated this, "I can't imagine how greedy and dark the heart of someone who tries to present themselves as sanctimonious and philanthropic in such matters could be."

"The word 'greed' is a good description." Lin Sen sighed and stood up.

Move closer to someone who isn't looking at her and reach out to her shoulder.

At this moment, she still hadn't finished muttering:

"Sure enough, I should have understood this nature long ago, just like observing everything that appears in the sunlight... Ugh!"

But he was interrupted by someone grabbing his shoulders, and then he was turned to face him.

The moment their eyes met, everything fell silent.

"Actually, I've always been like this, and I should have realized this long ago. My subconscious greed will inevitably make it impossible for me to let go of that interesting soul encased in such a lovely body, and it will drift away from me in my heart."

"...So, you choose to hurt someone else again?" After a brief silence, the woman's voice, already somewhat embarrassed and angry at the compliment, forced a hint of gritted teeth. "It's not enough to ruin my foolish and unrepentant heart, but you're also going to wield your knife against a girl who even thought about your summer clothes and whose whole heart is devoted to you? Just because of my supposed lateness? Or is it some kind of almsgiving made up for by greed?"

"It's definitely not a mindset of making amends. However, I do have to acknowledge what you said, and it also makes me feel embarrassed and sadly condemned."

I couldn't help but smile bitterly at this real situation.

But he changed the subject and met her gaze without evasion:

"However, I also realize that the pain and entanglement you have endured these days must be far greater than what I am experiencing now."

"..."

"You must have been at a loss for what to do. You were desperately trying to make some gamble, but it seemed like nothing was working... And then, I was still a heartless jerk, making your last gamble seem like a joke."

"..."

"But in the end, you actually chose to suppress all those emotions, hiding them deep inside... Actually, there were signs. Maybe you were screaming in your heart, but I was blind to them. Thinking of this, I feel that no matter how much you hate me for this, it's okay."

At this point, I couldn't help but laugh, overwhelmed by the tenderness I felt:

"And yet, it was still like that until just now. You didn't even hit me hard, you just rubbed the stone against my shoulder... Honestly, even a stranger would be warmed by your heart after hearing all this. Not to mention me, who was in the middle of it and was slow to realize something..."

I didn't say anything more because, at this point, all subsequent expressions were self-explanatory.

At this moment, in front of this usually reserved woman, silence might be a better choice.

He couldn't help but let go of her hand - or rather, he half-heartedly did so in response to her slight struggle.

Waiting for her to stand in front of him, he lowered his head and adjusted his mood.

He raised his head again and looked over as if he wanted to take a fresh look at something.

"Based on the poor understanding of Shameless-kun that I've gained from these days of living together with him, holding my nose and forcing myself to do so."

She still had that serious stare on her face. "You, would never consider breaking up with the girl waiting for you. So, what I meant just now... is this, right?"

"Yes. My reprehensible thought is that I like you, and her."

Lin Sen nodded and added, "If my actions today ultimately lead to disaster, for example, if you and Ito see my awful nature and hate and despise me, or even leave me, I won't complain and will accept all the pain in silence."

"...Is it worth it?" Sasagawa Rio narrowed her eyes. "Or, to speculate in a malicious way, is it that Greedy-kun doesn't care about either relationship, so losing them doesn't matter?"

"..."

At this moment, the statement "I absolutely care" seems unable to express my attitude.

I turned my head and looked towards the sea involuntarily.

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening, the time when the tide in Tokyo reached its highest point.

I took two steps towards the sea and the water reached my feet.

Suddenly, I remembered what a short-haired girl said to me - and then, my body was driven to move involuntarily, and I ran towards the beach.

During high tide, the water level reaches up to the waist, chest, and head.

The young man's figure disappeared into the sea in shock.

One minute, two minutes—

It wasn't until a slender figure reacted and rushed into the water like crazy that a hand and a smiling head popped out and pulled her into the water.

"Can you swim?"

The sound of the tide would drown out any gentle noises, so the young man could only shout, "If you can't, hold on to me!"

"...Are you crazy?" Flamingo clamped his arms tightly around someone's upper body. "What are you trying to prove? Do you think you're good at expressing yourself?"

"I just suddenly wanted to practice my diving skills! But... you're right, it's really crazy! Greed is insatiable!"

"Disgusting! Terrible! So stubborn!"

The result of the commotion is that the clothes you wear outside will have to be carefully cleaned from the sea marks afterwards.

And soon after, two drowned rats with wet cloths sticking to their bodies appeared in an old car parked on the side of the road.

Also, the furious woman finally used her fist with all her might.

Although, this kind of force can also be converted into massage and beating under the protection of the arm muscles.

Sasagawa Rio also realized this - she soon put away her fists, started the car with an angry expression, turned on the radio that she had disliked when she came, trying to use the sound of music to temporarily cut off the communication between the two of them and use some cold war tactics.

It took him a while to calm down, turn off the sound playing in the car stereo, and then turn around and glare at me.

Eyes burning.

With wet hair, her sharp eyes have a kind of heroic spirit that makes people's heart beat - what a beautiful woman.

"How am I supposed to handle myself from now on? In front of everyone." She groaned in conclusion, "Crazy-kun still hasn't given me an answer."

"Because I don't really understand it either." Lin Sen shrugged. "But now, it's a little better. In the future, I'll have to explore and think about the same problem. At least I won't abandon you and let you face all this alone."

"So, I should be grateful for Mr. Idiot's essentially useless behavior?"

"That's the part of you that I can't interfere with or influence."

Lin Sen let out a long sigh. "I've said everything I need to say about what's going on between us. From now on, no matter what you want to do or what decision you make, I will definitely accept it and respond positively... This is my promise."

"..."

"..."

After a moment of silence, the female editor turned around and pulled down the driver's seat belt.

"How can you afford to hurt...another girl who loves you?"

"She told me some of her thoughts herself."

This sentence made Sasakawa Rimei pause:

"...Is this the reason you act recklessly despite receiving orders?"

"Of course not. I will do my best to treat her with an attitude that does not want to let you down."

"What a disgusting statement. Are you an ancient emperor?"

"It's just a glutton who is only greedy and chasing after the most beautiful existence in his eyes."

"No longer content with being an emperor, you've turned to comparing yourself to a mythical beast?"

"I just think this kind of thing would be ugly in someone's eyes, and it would be easier for you to use it to deepen your bad impression of me."

"Tsk."

With a voice of feigned disdain, the female editor pulled the handbrake.

However, before starting the car, when I held the steering wheel, I suddenly remembered something.

Cough twice more;

"not on purpose."

"what?"

"I didn't throw that stone just to brush against your shoulder on purpose. I'm... not as kind as you think."

She hesitantly and haltingly explained an action she had taken long ago, "I clearly wanted to hit that idiot-kun hard on the head. It's just that my aim was off."

"..."

"I mean, don't think too much."

"That's it..."

"you..."

"I understand."

This woman.

Does she know how cute she is?

Chapter 91 Personal Charm

This morning, Lin Sen was not awakened by the aroma of breakfast as usual.

As he slowly woke up from his confused state, he suddenly realized one thing - Miss Ito had not been around for the past few days.

I have to admit, I've become a bit lazy these days since we confirmed our relationship. Brunch, with its delicate aroma, is always placed on the table in advance, and even the clothes we change out every day are washed and hung out to dry.

It is indeed a little difficult to adapt to suddenly being separated from an environment that has almost spoiled me.

"So, do you feel dissatisfied?"

The woman sitting at the dining table in the living room spoke prophetically.

Beside her were cups and plates containing simple bread and milk.

Apparently, he had heard from the short-haired girl some fragments of how she cared for others. Clearly, by looking over now, he was trying to discern the feelings of someone who had lost their caring care.

Lin Sen only gave him a displeased glance, picked up the bread from the plate, stuffed it into his mouth, and sat down.

"Still watching? Do you want to see the pampered loser get mad when he's not taken care of?"

"I do have that mentality of seeking excitement. After all, as the old saying goes, it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. I thought I could see resentment on Zi Suijun's face for my hospitality."

"I never feel that I deserve to be meticulously cared for every day. At least, I do some mental self-improvement every day."

This sentence made Sasagawa Rimei prop up her chin:

"What's the content?" she asked calmly. "Gratitude? Thanks?"

"I have similar emotions. However, what's more important is to remind myself that no one is born to be treated kindly by others."

The inevitability of human nature often leads to similar scenarios - for example, when one has always been cared for in every possible way, but suddenly lacks that care once or twice, one becomes resentful.
