I became the emperor in the comic book series.

On the other side, Nagasaki Motoyo could no longer bear it and pounced on him, physically gagging him tightly.

Two minutes later, the two separated. Looking at the girl with her red lips and slightly swollen, plump lips, Higashino Akira chuckled, "Give it to me?"

The girl glanced at him slyly, giving him a look that said, "Don't force me to kiss you again," before turning her pretty face away. "No way...!"

"How stingy."

"Humph…"

She finally understood: he wasn't a bad person, but he had an extremely malicious heart.

It seems that Akira Higashino also knew when to stop, and that teasing people should be done in moderation, otherwise the girl would explode on the spot, so he didn't continue.

He stood up, preparing to wash up and leave.

But the girl grabbed him.

Nagasaki Suze frowned and looked him over for a moment. His clothes were wrinkled, casually draped over his body, the collar was crooked with half of it inside, and the buttons were not fastened properly, only two-thirds of them were fastened, and they were fastened in the wrong place. A small part of his chest was slightly open, vaguely revealing what lay beneath.

The girl sighed softly, stood on tiptoe and reached out to help him tidy up. As she did so, she lectured him, "No matter what, it's a matter of etiquette to dress neatly when you're out and about. You're such a grown-up, you should pay more attention to your personal image."

"That won't work. I'm so handsome, what if I accidentally fall for some girl on the street?" Higashino Akira joked shamelessly. "After all, Su Shi knows me. I'm too soft-hearted, and I always have a hard time controlling myself when invited by pretty girls."

What kind of idiotic remarks are these!

After helping him straighten his clothes, Nagasaki Motoyo poked his waist in an annoyed tone.

"Also, why did you bring your outdoor shoes into the bedroom?"

"Because Su Shi is so cute, I can't bear to be intimate with you even a second later."

"It's not like it's my fault. Don't do that again!"

It would be very troublesome for her to clean such a big house by herself.

Akira Higashino's eyes lit up slightly. "Then next time, let's just do it over there in the entryway!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was stared at by the girl with her eyebrows raised in a serious gaze without saying a word.

She was as serious as a mother!

Akira Higashino opened his mouth, "Alright."

Upon hearing this, the girl nodded in satisfaction, her expression softening.

…………

In the living room, the wife, who had been hearing noises from her daughter's room and guessed that Su Shi should be getting up soon, began to bring out the food she had prepared in the kitchen.

Just as I was about to knock on the door to wake up Su Shi, who was sleeping in, I was about to go over and knock on the door.

Suddenly, with a click, the door opened.

Seeing Su Shi come out of the room, Mrs. Nagasaki ran over happily and hugged her daughter tightly, nuzzling her cheek against Su Shi's face. She spoke with a playful, boastful tone, "Su Shi, Mom has finally finished her work and got a half-day off. I can spend the whole morning with you. Breakfast is ready. After we eat, whether you want to stay home or go out, Mom can come along."

"Mom...Mom!!!"

Nagasaki Motoyo froze, her hands and feet turning cold from the sudden surprise, her face paling slightly, and she felt a sense of suffocation.

Higashino Akira followed behind, and before he even left the room, he looked at the mother and daughter embracing each other with a somewhat complicated expression.

Didn't you say Mom was working overtime and wasn't home?

Would the cunning Su Shi really try to force him into marriage by introducing him to her parents, making her his wife, and then demanding that he leave Toyokawa Shoko?

My usually gentle daughter didn't say a word today. When I told her the good news that I had taken the day off, she didn't cheer happily. Instead, she just stood there blankly and didn't come back to hug me.

Sensing something was wrong, the wife looked up, intending to observe Su Shi and ask why. However, she ended up facing the young man still standing in Su Shi's room with a somewhat subtle expression. She froze on the spot, her lips trembling slightly, and it took her a while to manage to utter a single sentence, "Who are you?"

“Uh… Su Shi’s boyfriend!” After a moment of silence, Higashino Akira gave this answer.

Then he noticed his wife's gaze constantly shifting between him and her daughter.

Then, with a look of realization and disbelief, she realized that Su Shi had done that because she was too lonely, but it turned out that it was not what she thought at all, but that she had a boyfriend.

What about last night...?

What about the little toys she bought for Su Shi?

The girl's item is practically brand new; there's no need for her to keep it for herself.

Although I don't object to Su Shi dating, isn't it a bit too fast for things to develop to this point so quickly?

As a mother, she didn't even know the man's name or what kind of person he was, and she had no experience to help her daughter vet him...

The wife wanted to ask many more questions. She even felt that the man looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where.

Before she could speak, Nagasaki Motoyo, who had been frozen in place, came to her senses. Her pretty face turned from white to red, and she suddenly turned around, grabbed Higashino Akira's hand, and pulled him out of the house.

"Mom, I have an appointment with my classmates, I have to go now."

"Breakfast?"

"Let's eat out!"

In Nagasaki, the mother, who had finally finished a period of work and managed to get a vacation to spend time with her daughter, sat alone at the dining table, eating slowly and mechanically, her face full of desolation.

It was so boring that I finally stopped eating.

The television was turned on in the living room, playing content that no one knew or cared about, and nobody paid any attention.

My daughter has grown up...

Even after getting a boyfriend, there's still a distance between them.

And friends who play music together.

Busy, everyone's busy, being busy is good...

Ugh…

Strolling along the streets of Tokyo, a light drizzle was falling from the sky. Higashino Akira put his arm around Nagasaki Motoyo, who was in a daze the whole time, to prevent her from falling to the ground or bumping into a telephone pole.

After a long pause, realizing that things couldn't continue like this, she thought for a moment and then took the initiative to speak, "Um, your mother has quite a youthful look."

This advice proved effective.

Nagasaki Motoyo snapped out of her daze, glared at him irritably, and even started to look wary.

This defensiveness made Higashino Akira feel somewhat wronged. Although Su Shi's mother was not old and quite good-looking, and looked quite similar to Su Shi, that was not a reason to be defensive towards him!

The Wu school of poetry is not good with married women and unmarried men.

"You know, I like real young girls."

"Really?"

Nagasaki Motoyo gazed at him with a skeptical expression.

Akira Higashino: "..."

After a moment of silence, he said, "Don't force me to kiss you in the street to prove my innocence."

Upon hearing this, the girl blushed slightly and looked away in embarrassment.

Hearing the faint rumbling in the girl's stomach, Ye Ming led her directly into a chain restaurant nearby.

"Hello, welcome! What would you two like to order?"

As soon as I entered, I was greeted by a staff member, a petite girl.

We ordered two dishes and led Su Shi to a seat.

"Um, I don't have any money with me."

Nagasaki Motoyo reminded him in a slightly embarrassed voice.

She was hungry earlier, but she didn't even have time to take her phone, let alone her wallet. Her mother caught her sleeping in the same room with a boy, and she's too embarrassed to go back right now.

It's unlikely that she'd be willing to treat or split the bill these days.

Upon hearing this, Higashino Akira touched his body, his expression stiffening slightly. Oh no, his phone and wallet were not on him either. However, his expression quickly returned to calm, and he even calmly nodded to Su Shi.

"It's okay, I have a way."

Nagasaki Soyo: "?"

"Eat first, and then you can run away. I'll stay and wash the dishes to pay off the debt."

Higashino Akira grinned carelessly and said something that made the girl's eyes widen instantly and her heart tremble.

Nagasaki Motoyo almost immediately wanted to refuse and tell the clerk to cancel the order. It was just a meal; leaving her boyfriend at a fast food restaurant to pay off the debt was completely unnecessary!

But the reason fast food is fast food is because it's fast!

Please enjoy your meal.

Before Nagasaki Motoyo could cancel the order, a female employee wearing a green uniform and a mask had already prepared the food and delivered it to the two of them.

In an instant, Nagasaki Motoyo felt like she was dying.

Everything went wrong all day today, Mercury retrograde!

Across from her, Higashino Akira was still calmly eating heartily, giving her a thumbs-up as he did so. "Aren't you going to eat? You'll have the energy to run later if you eat your fill. It tastes pretty good."

The girl gave a bitter laugh, her face ashen and pale.

Next to him, Akira Higashino quickly finished his meal, raised his hand and called out to the counter, "Hello, two more servings, please."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

After all, I did physical labor last night, and I need to eat more to replenish my energy.

Nagasaki Motoyo was dumbfounded by the man's nonchalant attitude, and gave him a warning look with a wink.

One or two servings would be fine; she could tell the staff to leave him there and go to RiNG's place to borrow some money from Deng and the others to pay the bill. But ordering so many servings like this is going too far. She might actually be made to wash the dishes!

Akira Higashino finished his fast food early, and when Motoyo Nagasaki was almost done eating, he couldn't bear to swallow the last few bites. He didn't have the courage to face the miserable life that was about to begin, and with each bite, he looked at the idiot sitting across from him with a guilty look.

While I was deeply moved, I also felt increasingly guilty.

She felt that all of this was caused by her. If she hadn't brought him home yesterday, or if she hadn't been so shy today and hadn't even had time to grab her phone and wallet before pulling him away, none of this would have happened.

Higashino Akira silently glanced at a "customer" who followed them in to order food in a corner of the store.

After receiving the signal, the other person finished the last sip of their drink in one gulp, took the initiative to pay the bill, and, with their back to their emperor's new lover, gestured to the clerk to settle their bill as well.

Of course, Higashino Akira wasn't worried about not having money for food. After all, he had so many bodyguards with him, and a meal wasn't a big expense, so there was no need to worry about it.

He was just being mischievous and wanted to tease her a little.

Rather than letting her spend the whole day lost in thought about what happened this morning, it's better to take her on a big adventure.

"Su Shi."

"Ok?"

"Keep calm. Your expression right now is too obvious and will give you away."

I rolled my eyes at this idiot, speechless.

“I suddenly don’t want to wash the dishes anymore, and I’m worried you won’t be able to outrun them. The brown-skinned clerk behind the counter looks like she’s in great shape. How about we run together for a bit, and then I’ll contact someone to pay the bill.”

"what!?"

Nagasaki Motoyo glared at her.

Higashino Akira didn't give her a chance to react or think carefully, quickly speaking in a low voice, "Ready! One...two..."

"three!"

"run!"

Like a gust of wind, Akira Higashino grabbed Motoyo Nagasaki's hand, pushed back her chair, and rushed out of the store with a startled cry.

Higashino Akira led the way, running slowly ahead at the fastest speed the girl could keep up with.

At some point, the drizzle that had lasted for several days stopped, and the rising sun pierced through the clouds, turning into beams of light that drenched the ground. A gentle breeze blew by, carrying a faint mist that brushed against my cheeks.

Nagasaki Motoyo stumbled after the man, his hand in hers. As his hair was enveloped in a golden glow as it passed through the beam of light, her heart pounded wildly, her blood rushed to her head, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

Gradually, I forgot my worries and the strange looks from passersby on both sides of the street. For some reason, I subconsciously followed along and became immersed in this not-so-grand escape.

It seems like she's turning into a bad girl.

As this thought suddenly came to mind, the girl's expression unconsciously became lighter and lighter.

Akira Higashino: Isn't he handsome, sis? That's the infectious charm of his charisma!
