Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

Chapter 448 Could it be that my aunt was deliberately waiting for me in the living room?

After thinking for a moment, Shiro Kaede decided to use the same explanation as before:

"After we separated, I met with editors from the publishing house to discuss copyright matters."

"We chatted for a while and found that it was getting quite late."

Watanabe Hina trusted Kamishiro Hakufeng quite a bit, so she didn't sense anything unusual in his words and nodded:

"That's it"

"So, how did your conversation go?"

Kamishiro Bai Feng coughed and said:

"Look, my book 'Love Letters' was only recently released, wasn't it?"

"Ms. Igarashi told me that there's no need to rush to sell this time, as it seems that quite a few buyers are willing to come and purchase."

"After that, we took turns talking with Ms. Igarashi about which company was better, which movies they made were more successful, or which were more suitable for my novel."

"Yes, it's definitely better to take it slow." Watanabe Hina was very happy for Kamishiro Hakufeng, because Hakufeng was her boyfriend, and who wouldn't like their boyfriend's income to keep increasing?

Shiro Shiro knew that he was lying, so he didn't plan to continue talking about this topic for too long.

Rather than this matter, he felt he should do more psychological work with Hina to prevent her from overthinking and secretly shedding tears when she couldn't contact him.

"Hina, remember, remember, never think so much like you did today again, okay?" Kamishiro Hakufu patiently reminded her, "I will never hate you because of something like this, no matter what, you must believe me on that point!"

Watanabe Hina also realized that she had been overthinking things today.

But she couldn't help but overthink.

Because Bai Feng usually replies to my messages around midnight.

But today, when she didn't have any, she started to feel inexplicably anxious and uncomfortable.

Normally, she would never do this.

But precisely because she had taken the initiative to do that to Bai Feng today, she was genuinely worried that Bai Feng was unhappy because of her actions, which was why he was ignoring her.

You should know that Bai Feng has no shortage of girlfriends right now.

If she were to lose Bai Feng because she was too proactive, Watanabe Hina felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife just thinking about the outcome.

She really didn't want to be separated from Bai Feng, which is why she was so worried that she cried.

But when she learned that Bai Feng had a reason for his actions, she felt much better.

With Bai Feng having now agreed not to dislike her because of this, Watanabe Hina was in an even better mood than before she and Bai Feng had taken things further.

Watanabe Hina made a solemn promise:

"Yes, I promise you."

"I will definitely not overthink these things anymore. If anything important happens, I will definitely call you directly."

Hearing this, Shiro Kaede felt much more at ease.

However, he still said a lot of sweet words to coax Watanabe Hina afterward, and no matter what, he was largely responsible for what happened today.

Because of this incident, Shiro Kaede realized why many people say that girls are more emotionally sensitive after doing those things with boys.

Even someone as emotionally stable as Watanabe Hina is like this; it seems that was indeed the case.

Thanks to Bai Feng's continuous barrage of sweet words, Watanabe Hina finally fell asleep peacefully.

Subsequently.

Shirakaze Kamishiro clicked on the message that Rika Maejima had sent around midnight.

[Rika Maejima: Ciallo～(∠ω<)⌒☆ Good evening, Shirakaze.]

Besides this message, another message came in around 1 p.m.

[Rika Maejima: o(╥﹏╥)o Hakukaze, are you already asleep? Why aren't you replying to me?]

[Rika Maejima: o(╥﹏╥)o It's past 1 a.m., why haven't you replied yet? Did you spend the night at Hina-senpai's house and she won't let you check your phone or reply to messages? Or did you two already have sex and are now fast asleep?]

[Rika Maejima: Waaaaah~ No way! At least do that with Hina after I've done it with you!]

When Shiro Shiro saw the last message, he couldn't help but feel ashamed.

[Kamishiro Shirofumi: -_-|| Sorry for the late reply today. I was discussing copyright issues with the publisher's editor, and it went on until after 1 a.m. I also left Hina around 8 p.m., so I really didn't do anything you're imagining. Or rather, your imagination is running wild!]

I received a reply immediately after sending the message.

[Rika Maejima: (灬灬) Oh, I see! That's great! At least I didn't have to stay overnight at Hina-senpai's!]

[Kamishiro Hakufeng: -_-|| I don't know how to complain, why are you staying up so late tonight?]

[Rika Maejima: (︿) Because I was waiting for your reply, and you didn't reply by midnight, I started to worry that something might have happened to you, and that you might be spending the night in Hina or something. Thinking about all this, I couldn't sleep at all.]

[Rika Maejima: (òó) But it would be best if it weren't there.]

[Kamishiro Shirofumi: You can call me and ask.]

[Rika Maejima: o(╥﹏╥)o I was afraid you two were really doing something serious, so I didn't dare to be afraid, afraid of being hurt if I found out.]

[Kamishiro Hakufu: Are you stupid? Why do you keep thinking about this? I haven't even... cough cough... it hasn't gotten to that point yet!]

[Rika Maejima: (*￣—￣*) I'm glad you didn't take things to the next level with Hina, but Rika, I want to ask Hakukaze when you plan to take things to the next level with me. To be honest, I'm starting to get a little impatient.]

[Kamishiro Shirofumi: Can you please not be so blunt? I'm not even sure how to reply to you.]

[Rika Maejima: ─=≡Σ(((つω)Rika, I never beat around the bush. If I say I like Hakukaze, then I like him! Besides, I'm your girlfriend now. Isn't it normal to want to do the things that couples do? So when is it okay?]

[Kamishiro Hakufeng: Ahem, didn't you promise her in the future?]

[Rika Maejima: (#^.^#) Hakukaze, you don't want the future to know, do you? Then just do it with me and don't tell anyone!]

[Kamishiro Hakufeng: Don't say such strange things.]

[Rika Maejima: [○｀Д○] So when is it okay? Rika, I'm asking seriously, and please answer me seriously too, Hakukaze!]

[Kamishiro Hakufu: Let's talk about it when the time is right.]

[Rika Maejima: (><) Well, Rika, I'll take it as you saying the atmosphere is right. Oh, and I forgot to tell you, it's past midnight now, it's the next day, so today is our date, Shirokaze. I'm going to your house to study after school, you promised me, so don't stand me up, or I'll be very, very angry!]

【Rika Maejima: (3[▓▓]Rika has said everything she needed to say. She's a little sleepy now. Goodnight, Hakufu. Remember to go to sleep early too, so you don't feel sleepy on your date tomorrow~】

[Kamishiro Hakufu: ∑(￣□￣*||| Wait, Rika, I haven't finished speaking yet!]

[Kamidai Bai Feng: Pear blossom? 】

[Kamidai Bai Feng: Hello.]

Shiro Shiro covered his forehead, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

But now that Rika has gone to sleep, there's no point in waiting any longer.

So Bai Feng clicked on the message that Chitanda Mirai sent around 12 o'clock.

[Chitanda Mirai: (。＿。) Hakukaze, are you already asleep?]

They also sent a message around 12:30.

【Chitanda Mirai: (○`ヘ′○) Hakukaze, why haven't you replied to me yet? Did you and Hina do something strange? If you don't reply soon, I'm really going to get angry!】

【Chitanda Mirai: ヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ) I'm angry! Even if you reply to me now, I will never forgive you!】

After that, I never received another message.

Upon seeing this, Shiro Shiro felt things were getting complicated again, and immediately sent a message explaining what had just happened.

The message was answered quickly.

[Chitanda Mirai: (▼ヘ▼#) Mirai is already asleep. After not receiving your message, she said you're a heartbreaker and a jerk, and she doesn't want to talk to you anymore!]

[Kamishiro Shirokaze: Was she really angry before she went to sleep?]

【Chitanda Mirai: (▼ヘ▼#) Yeah, I'm really angry!】

[Kamishiro Shirokaze: I really got back late today and didn't have time to reply to messages. Just show Mirai the message I just sent, and she'll probably understand what happened.]

【Chitanda Mirai:(▼ヘ▼#)Oh. 】

[Kamishiro Shirofumi: But why didn't you guys call to ask me what's going on?]

[Chitanda Mirai: (▼ヘ▼#) Junko doesn't understand what Mirai is thinking, so she can't reply to you, Shirakaze.]

[Kamidai Bai Feng: -_-||That’s right. 】

【Chitanda Mirai:(▼ヘ▼#)Bai Feng. 】

[Kamishiro Hakufeng: What's wrong?]

[Chitanda Mirai: (▼ヘ▼#) You promised me you'd date Junko by the end of the semester, and Junko will wait until then!]

[Kamishiro Shirokaze: Ahem, there's still a month until then, let's talk about it then. It's late now, remember to get some rest.]

【Chitanda Mirai:(▼ヘ▼#)Oh. 】

Shiro Shiro sighed softly; he hadn't expected Junko to still be thinking about this.

When the final exams come, I'll probably have to come up with a way to fool Junko.

Otherwise, given her naive nature and innate strength, Bai Feng was afraid that Chunzi might do something unexpected.

then.

Shiro Shiro clicked on the message that Igarashi Chinatsu had sent around midnight.

[Chinatsu Igarashi: Kamishiro-kun, are you already asleep?]

After the message was sent, there were no further messages.

Bai Feng felt that Igarashi Chinatsu must have something important to say to have come to him like this.

But it's already around 2 a.m., so they're probably already asleep.

[Kamishiro Shirofumi: I just got home, but I'm going to sleep now. If you need anything, just ask me when you wake up in the morning.]

To his surprise, Igarashi Chinatsu was also awake and quickly replied to his message.

[Chinatsu Igarashi: Eh, is Kamishiro-kun only getting back now? Why are you so late today? Did something happen?]
