Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

Rika Maejima nodded and said, "Yes, I've already confessed."

"So the result is..." Shiina Arisa was somewhat surprised, recalling what she had just said.

Rika Maejima didn't hide anything and said, "I was rejected after confessing, but I don't intend to give up!"

Shiina Arisa paused, somewhat regretfully, and comforted her, "But Rika-chan, you're so talented, you can definitely try harder!"

Hirosuke Shiina also felt a little sorry for her and comforted her, saying, "It's okay if you get rejected. Work hard and strive to become a better person. The boy you like will look at you with new eyes one day, just like I did when I won over Arisa!"

Shiina Arisa blushed slightly and couldn't help but stomp on his foot hard: "Shut up! Don't mention what happened back then in front of our daughter or anyone else!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Shiina Hirosuke nodded repeatedly.

Looking at this mushy couple, Shiro Shiro couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Fortunately, his parents weren't like that, otherwise things would have been terrible.

Shiina Shoko was also moved by Maejima Rika's words. Tears welled in her eyes, and she clenched her small fist, saying sincerely:

"Pear Blossom, you will definitely succeed!"

"That boy will definitely fall in love with you someday!"

As she said this, she glanced at Shiro Kaede.

Since Rinka-chan has been working so hard to make the person she likes like her back, she thought...

Then she'll have to work a little harder from now on!

Come on, Xiangzi, you can do it!

"Thank you!" Rika Maejima smiled gently, then said with unwavering determination, "I will definitely make him fall in love with me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she gently tapped Shiro Kaede's left foot a few times with her black-stockinged toes.

After doing all that, she secretly glanced at Shiro Kaede and found that he was also silently looking into her eyes, but after a few seconds, he turned his head and continued eating.

Seeing this, Maejima Rika was inexplicably happy, and her appetite improved considerably. She immediately started eating, just like Kamishiro Hakufu.

Shoko's mother, Shiina Arisa, had been discussing romance quite a bit, and had also learned a great deal about Shinjiro Hakufu and Maejima Rika.

That means they're not thinking about dating right now.

The other is that they have someone they like.

It's a bit of a shame that such a hardworking and straightforward girl like Pear Blossom didn't win the favor of the boy she liked.

But there was nothing she could do but offer her silent blessings.

However, her focus was not on Rika, but on Kamishiro-kun.

After all, this time he was the prey he had set his sights on!

She wants to match her daughter with Kamishiro-kun!

Although my daughter has excellent learning abilities, she is too socially anxious and appears dull and naive in her interactions with others.

Now I've met such a great guy.

If I don't help, then an outstanding guy like Kamishiro-kun will be easily pursued and won over by other very proactive girls.

That's just how love is!

High-quality boys and girls will definitely have plenty of admirers.

If you don't take the initiative, plenty of others will.

Foolishly waiting in the same place will probably only bring you regret and remorse in the end.

Some nights later, while sleeping, I might suddenly wake up and realize I should have stepped forward back then.

I should have seized that opportunity back then.

But by then it was too late.

Therefore, Shiina Arisa truly admires girls like Maejima Rika who should take the initiative when necessary.

After all, very few girls can be so clear about whether they like someone.

Even if you are rejected, you can still persevere.

In this fast-paced era, there are not many girls who are so devoted.

Then she looked at her daughter, Shiina Shoko, and earnestly instructed her:

"Xiangzi, if you meet a boy you like in the future..."

"Then we should cherish it just like we cherish pear blossom jam."

"Strike when the iron is hot!"

Hirosuke Shiina nodded in agreement:

"Yes, Xiangzi!"

"I knew back then that many people liked your mom, but none of those guys were as bold as me, so I finally managed to win her over."

"So it's absolutely right to strike when the time is right!"

After listening to Rika Maejima's love story and her parents' words, Shiina Shoko suddenly became eager to try it herself.

She stood directly on the chair, clenched her fists, and shouted:

"Ooooooooo!!!"

"Xiangzi, I'm fired up!!!"

"Listening to what you all say, Xiangzi will definitely work hard to make the boy I like like me back!!!"

︵╰(‵□′)╯︵

Hirosuke Shiina quickly called out, "You silly girl, we're eating, what are you doing standing on the chair all of a sudden?"

Shiina Arisa was also extremely embarrassed: "Shoko, come down quickly. It's fine when there's no one around, but we have guests at home today. Kamishiro-kun and Rika-chan are watching over us. Stop fooling around and come down!"

Rika Maejima gave a thumbs-up and smiled, "I'll cheer for you, Shoko, too!"

Shiro Kaede was a little uneasy after seeing this, thinking that Xiangzi was quite socially awkward outside, but surprisingly lively at home.

After Shiina Shoko finished speaking, she came to her senses and noticed the gazes of Shinjiro Shirakaze and Maejima Rika. Her face immediately turned bright red.

She realized she was too excited and had forgotten that the two of them were at home.

So she quickly sat back down in her seat, burying her head on the table in embarrassment, covering her face and not daring to look at the two people next to her.

After Xiangzi sat down.

The people at the table continued eating.

After we had eaten most of it.

Shiina Arisa smiled at Shirashiro and the others:

"After you've finished eating, please sit on the sofa and rest for a bit."

"I'll go wash the dishes first."

Jindai Bai Feng suggested:

"Let me help you."

Rika Maejima also politely said:

"Okay, I'll help too!"

Shiina Arisa shook her head and said:

"No."

"You are guests, I can handle this."

"Why don't you go chat on the sofa for a while?"

Seeing his chance, Shiina Hirosuke quickly stood up and smiled obsequiously:

"Let me do it, Arisa."

"I've recently developed a condition where I feel unwell if I don't wash the dishes for a day."

Shiina Arisa gave him a few cold glances:

"Humph!"

She ignored him and simply cleaned up the dishes by herself.

Hirosuke Shiina did not back down either, but instead helped tidy up from the side.

Shiina Shoko knew that the two were guests, and it would be unreasonable to ask them to help wash the dishes.

Moreover, she felt that it would be better for her parents to be alone at this time, so she carefully led them to the sofa.

"Let's come over here."

Rika Maejima and Shirakaze Kamishiro knew they shouldn't disturb the couple's time together, so they followed Shoko to the sofa.

Jindai Bai Feng sat down.

Rika Maejima quickly moved closer to his left, their shoulders touching.

Shiina Shoko sat down on the right, trembling and furtively. Although there was a small distance between them, she was clutching the hem of his clothes.

Looking at the spacious sofa and then at his own cramped situation, Shiro Shirokaze paused for a moment before saying:

"Aren't you two getting a little too close?"

Rika Maejima pouted and kept a slight distance from Shirofumi Kamishiro.

Meanwhile, Shiina Shoko muttered shyly:

"I I know."

As she spoke, she also kept a slight distance from Shiro Kaede.
