Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 530 Kawabe Kanade: Energetic, gifted, the perfect man!

Akiba Reiko didn't hide anything and told Kawabe Kanade what everyone already knew.

As for those things that others don't know, she naturally doesn't know either.

She wasn't someone who enjoyed listening to gossip; she just happened to overhear these rumors while out and about.

After all, everyone on these floors knows this, she was just listening in casually, she really didn't ask on purpose!

"what?"

When Kawabe Kanade heard the gossip that Akiba Reiko was telling, she was completely dumbfounded and speechless.

She could tell that Kitahara Natsuyu was entangled with those girls, but she didn't expect that Kitahara Natsuyu would take them all, leaving none of them behind. He was really amazing!
But thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at her friend with a strange expression.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Akiba Reiko asked, finding her friend's gaze somewhat strange.

Upon hearing this, Kawabe Kanade said, "You're so beautiful, Kitahara Natsuhiro might already have his eye on you."

"After all, this guy has so many women, one more won't make a difference, don't you think?"

Upon hearing this, Akiba Reiko, unusually, remained silent.

Because Kitahara Natsuyu seemed to really have feelings for her, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

I just feel like my head is a bit of a mess, and I can't quite sort out some of my thoughts.

But this is normal.

Because Akiba Reiko's feelings towards Kitahara Natsuhiro are complex.

Kitahara Natsuhiro had helped her earlier that night, and had also helped her find the person who was following her, and had the Metropolitan Police Department help her through her difficulties.

In the end, they rescued her inside the Domoto Concert Hall.

It can be said that Kitahara Natsuhiro has saved her several times, and each time he has come to her aid in the most critical moments.

This is no longer a favor, but a debt of gratitude, a debt that cannot be repaid.

After all, they've saved you several times already!
Therefore, Akiba Reiko is currently experiencing mixed feelings and doesn't know how to cope.

But to say nothing and do nothing to her savior is not her style.

That's why we're in this awkward situation now.

When Kawabe Kanade saw that her friend remained silent, her eyes widened in surprise, and she exclaimed, "She really has taken a liking to you!"

After her initial surprise, she realized she had overreacted.

After all, Reiko is so beautiful and has such a great temperament, how could no man not like her!

So it's perfectly normal for Kitahara Natsuhiro to be interested in Reiko; it would be abnormal if he didn't!
Although Akiba Reiko didn't really want to admit it, she could only nod at this point: "He does seem to have a bit of a thing for me."

"Huh!" Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Kawabe Kanade exclaimed in surprise and couldn't help but complain, "This guy is really too much. He's eating what he doesn't have while eyeing what he doesn't. Is he planning to ruin all the women in Japan?"

Hearing this, Akiba Reiko covered her mouth and laughed; "He's not that good."

"It's simply impossible for all the women in Japan to be like that."

"Do you want him to die from exhaustion?"

They're both getting on in years, at an age where they know everything, and all that's left is to get married.

Furthermore, since it was just the two of them, some rather explicit words slipped out without any restraint.

Since I'm at home, I can say whatever I want without worrying about anyone overhearing.

“How could that be?” Kawabe Kanade retorted. “According to you, there are already six or seven people around him, and there might be other women hiding in the shadows that you don’t know about.”

"With such a large number of people, and he's still so strong and has a ruddy complexion, I think this guy is really gifted and also the kind of person who is full of energy."

“I’ve heard people say that some people are born with a lot of energy.”

"I think Kitahara Natsuhiro is the kind of person who can be full of energy after sleeping only a few hours a day. He is not only exceptionally talented, but also full of energy."

"No wonder he has so many women!"

Upon hearing this, Akiba Reiko's cheeks twitched involuntarily. She never imagined that Kawabe Kanade would think in this direction.

But upon closer reflection, it does seem to be true.

She had seen Kitahara Natsuyu go out before; he always looked full of energy and never seemed drained.

On the contrary, sometimes when she went out in the afternoon, she would see women leaving Kitahara Natsuyu's house. These women were also radiant, but there was one thing she could still see.

That was the weariness between his brows.

In other words, he didn't get enough sleep. How could he not be tired after playing cards all night?
So what Kawabe Kanade said is actually not wrong at all; on the contrary, it makes perfect sense.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you shocked by my speculation?" Kawabe Kanade laughed.

In fact, there are quite a few people with this kind of energy.

For example, self-made entrepreneurs are often energetic and only need a few hours of sleep each day to have enough energy to handle company affairs.

However, Kitahara Natsuhiro's case is a bit exaggerated; he still looks so energetic even surrounded by so many women.

"Full of energy" is no longer an apt description.

That's monstrous energy!
"Kind of."

“But now that you mention it, I think you’re right,” said Akiba Reiko. “Alright, let’s not keep talking about Kitahara Natsuhiro.”

"After all, this is someone else's private matter."

"You've already said it, so just finish."

"."

Having no other choice, Akiba Reiko could only reveal what she knew. After all, these were things she had seen and heard herself, not secrets, so it didn't matter if she said them.

Kawabe Kanade spent the entire night gossiping about Akiba Reiko.

She likes gossip, especially gossip like that of Kitahara Natsuyu; it's interesting and exciting!

The next day.

Kitahara Natsuhiro got up early and started preparing breakfast for Yonehara Akiko.

Because it was a workday, Akiko Yonehara needed to go back to Beika Town.

Fortunately, they both got up early enough that they didn't have to worry about being late.

Furthermore, in preparation for his workday, Kitahara Natsuhiro deliberately made sure to avoid bothering Yonehara Akiko as much as possible.

So Akiko Yonehara woke up today full of energy, showing no signs of being sleepy.

"Don't you need my help?"

Akiko Yonehara, who was up early, was sitting on the sofa wearing a T-shirt watching the morning program. One of the people on the program was one of the reporters they had seen at the Metropolitan Police Department entrance the day before.

Rena Mizunashi.

Rena Mizunashi is not only a reporter but also a host, a position she was entrusted with due to her outstanding professional skills. In addition, she is also a CIA mole planted within a criminal organization.

It can be said that Rena Mizunashi is a woman who holds multiple jobs and earns several salaries a month.

However, compared to Amuro Tooru, Mizunashi Rena is still a little lacking.

The title of "King of Hired Managers" is not undeserved; it is proven by his achievements.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsumi, wearing an apron, smiled and said, "No need, you can just sit on the sofa and watch TV."

Hearing this, Akiko Yonehara hugged her legs, rested her head on her knees, and tilted her head to look at Natsuhiro Kitahara: "You're so capable, it makes me seem useless."

“Actually,” Kitahara Natsuyu paused, then laughed, “you’re quite capable too, really!”

"..." Upon hearing this, Akiko Yonehara's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said irritably, "Don't think I don't know what you mean!"

She had been with Kitahara Natsuyu for a long time and knew long ago what kind of vulgar language he might use.

But this is also a bit of fun for couples.

"Hahaha," Kitahara Natsuyu laughed loudly, "It's just the literal meaning. I didn't say anything wrong. It's just that you're overthinking it!"

"Yes, yes, it was all just my overthinking, is that alright now!" Akiko Yonehara said, "Oh right, I saw Rena Mizunashi on TV."

“Rena Mizunashi?” Kitahara Natsuhiro: “I remember now, she’s the reporter who blocked our way at the Metropolitan Police Department yesterday.”

"Yes, that's her. She was on TV today, and it was the highest-rated morning program!"

"It's really impressive that someone so young has become a morning show host!"

Morning and evening rush hours are the two times with the highest viewership. To be able to host a program during these times, you either need to be really good at it or have connections.

Of course, their abilities can't be lacking either; if they're too poor, the person who recommended them will lose face.

After all, this is one of the prime-time programs, so there's no room for error!

However, Rena Mizunashi is not only capable, but also has a powerful background.

However, these backgrounds are useless in neon-lit areas, and they need to be hidden; otherwise, it would be troublesome if they were discovered!
It can be said that Rena Mizunashi's current achievements are all due to her own hard work.

“That’s exactly how it is,” Kitahara Natsuhiro said.

Rena Mizunashi's strength is beyond doubt.

If he hadn't been tricked by Conan and Shuichi Akai in the original story, he wouldn't have cooperated with the FBI.

"But I'll tell you something: Rena Mizunashi is a good friend of Yoko Okino, and she came here last time!"

Akiko Yonehara was not surprised to hear this.

Yoko Okino has a program on Nichiuri TV, so it's perfectly normal for her to know Rena Mizunashi, who also works at Nichiuri TV.

However, Kitahara Natsuyu wondered if there was a hidden agenda behind Mizunashi Rena and Okino Yoko becoming good friends.

After all, Rena Mizunashi was an undercover agent in the Black Organization, and the Black Organization's network of relationships was intricate and complex, much like the entertainment industry.

So, Rena Mizunashi's decision to work at the television station and her subsequent friendship with Yoko Okino might all be part of a scheme to get her to obtain information about the Black Organization.

However, this matter is not important to Kitahara Natsuhiro, as long as Okino Yoko is not harmed.

As things stand, Yoko Okino and Rena Mizunashi have a good relationship, and Rena Mizunashi has no intention of harming Yoko Okino.

Rena Mizunashi, an undercover agent infiltrated into the Black Organization, is the kind-hearted type, and even wants to save a politician who is about to be killed by the Black Organization.

For example, there's Tsuchimon Yasuhiro from the original work, and other undercover agents in the theatrical version.

This kind of personality wouldn't be a problem under normal circumstances, but in this undercover situation, Rena Mizunashi's kindness could easily become her own death warrant.

At times, Gin would point a gun at Rena Mizunashi's forehead because she was too slow.

Because sometimes, if actions are too slow, the target can easily escape, which is unacceptable to criminal organizations.

At that time, Gin did not suspect that Rena Mizunashi was an undercover agent, but he never trusted her either.

Gin trusts only himself and Vodka; he remains suspicious of everyone else, including Rum and Vermouth.

This is why Gin is favored by the boss, and even though Sherry died, he was not punished by the boss.

In the original work, it's even more exaggerated.

Sherry, Ireland, Pisco, Binga—the deaths of these people were all directly related to Gin, but Gin remained completely unaffected.

This also indirectly proves the boss's preference for Gin.

The boss probably knows that Gin is the only member of the organization who actually does anything productive!

As for the others, they were either slacking off, fighting amongst themselves, or being undercover agents.

Of course, these undercover agents were still very useful.

After all, if an undercover agent wants to climb the ranks, he naturally has to work hard and is willing to do any dirty or tiring job.

Sometimes finding undercover agents is quite easy; it just depends on whether the organization is willing to do so.

After all, who would do the work without an undercover agent?

Some netizens have said that without these undercover agents, the distillery would have collapsed long ago.

But in reality, this is indeed the case, and it's even more so.

"Oh, you've been here before?" Akiko Yonehara narrowed her eyes upon hearing this. "How do you know so much? Have you taken a liking to her?"

"However, Rena Mizunashi is indeed beautiful, but she looks cold and doesn't smile much, even on TV shows."

"Some people even call her an iceberg host."

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu said helplessly, "We've only met once, how could I possibly like him?"

"Besides, she's a TV host, she's very busy."

"But Yoko Okino was also very busy, and you still slept with her."

这话
Kitahara Natsuhiro did not refute it, because it was true and there was no way to refute it.

"Alright, let's have breakfast!"

As he spoke, Kitahara Natsuhiro brought over the breakfast.

Breakfast was the same as always: a bowl of beef noodles.

Akiko Yonehara also loves beef noodles; she never gets tired of them.

"Your beef noodles are as delicious as ever. I'll take some beef home with me when I go to work!"

There are refrigerators at school, so you can temporarily store your items there without worrying about them spoiling after thawing.

"Okay, no problem!"
