Tokyo: My Girlfriend

Chapter 88 Shinichi and Rena

I initially thought it was just talk and that he might not follow me around the next day.

This continued until Wednesday.

Akemi Aoki never imagined that after only a week of dating, she and Shinichi would go four days without being intimate.

They don't even have much of a chance to be intimate, let alone be alone together.

Then she couldn't help but recall what Kitagawa Rena had said on the rooftop earlier.

Even if she really did start dating Shinichi Kitagawa.

She would also use all sorts of blatant methods to prove that Kitagawa Shinichi was hers.

On Wednesday during class, Aoki Akemi lay on her desk, looking pitifully at Kitagawa Shinichi with her fox-like eyes and pouting lips.

Shinichi Kitagawa knew exactly how Akemi Aoki felt. He had made up his mind and took out his phone to send her a message.

Shinichi Kitagawa: "Let's take a break from singing practice tonight. You can rest for the night, and I'll have a good talk with Rena. You've been practicing singing a lot lately, and I'm sure you're quite tired."

Aoki Akemi replied to the message on her phone: "I wouldn't say I'm tired, after all, I really enjoy singing. It's just that Shinichi-kun is planning to talk to Rena-chan about it. Rena-chan already knows that Shinichi-kun and I are dating, but she's just deliberately not wanting to hear the truth from us. Besides, it's no use being honest in this situation; she'll definitely continue doing it in the future."

Shinichi Kitagawa said with a serious expression, "We can only try to talk to her. If she still acts this way, then don't blame us for backing out. As long as Akemi can trust me, we can solve any problems together. These are not issues."

Aoki Akemi turned to look at Kitagawa Shinichi with surprise and a mixture of curiosity and delight.

In Mingmei's mind, although the other party had not yet said what it meant to cheat, this sentence alone was enough to prove that Shinichi also wanted to be alone with her and wanted to have a future with her.

She felt much more at ease as long as the other person thought that way.

I sent him a heart-shaped emoji: "I love Shin Il-jun so much!"

After school that evening, Shinichi Kitagawa said goodbye to Kana Akemi and the others beforehand and walked home alone with Rena.

Rena Kitagawa followed behind, surprised: "Akami isn't coming to our house for training tonight?"

Shinichi Kitagawa let out a long sigh and walked home alone with Rena: "Have you had enough? You've been following us around for the past two days, haven't you done anything else?"

"Making a scene? What did I do to make a scene?"

Shinichi Kitagawa stopped and turned to look at her. "Even if you don't want to hear it, I have to tell you this time. I'm already dating Akemi, and I'm sure you already know that, so there's nothing wrong with me spending more time with her as her boyfriend, right?"

Rena Kitagawa glanced at Shinichi Kitagawa, then quickly looked away. "Shinichi, you really couldn't hold back after all. I didn't say you two couldn't be together. I was just watching. If you want, Shinichi, feel free to be intimate with Akemi Aoki right in front of me." She said coldly, "I can stop Akemi Aoki, but do you think I can stop Shinichi?"

Kitagawa Shin was speechless: "You're completely disobeying me this time, aren't you? Does that mean I can't live without you when it comes to dating? If we can't be together in this life, does that mean I can never marry anyone else?"

Rena Kitagawa was furious when Shinichi Kitagawa said those words.

Passersby walked past the two of them. Rena Kitagawa pulled Shinichi Kitagawa's hand and went home. Even though she didn't like Akemi Aoki, she wouldn't talk about her family's private affairs in the street.

Once inside the house, he threw down his schoolbag and said, "Yes! Let me be frank, I just don't want you two to be together! And Shin-ichi, you don't even like Akemi! If you don't like her, why are you with her?!"

Shinichi Kitagawa looked down at the fierce-looking Rena, surprised: "How did you know I don't like Akemi?"

"How long have I known Shin-il?! I'm not blind! You like me more than she does! And it was Saturday!"

Shinichi Kitagawa knew that Rena had misunderstood him that day, and frowned as he put his schoolbag aside: "No, Rena, the reason I didn't want to see Akemi that day wasn't because I didn't like Akemi, it was just because..."

Rena Kitagawa interjected, "Go ahead and keep lying to yourself! But don't even think about lying to me! Even if Shinichi can say he likes Aoki Akemi, do you really think that way? I won't let Shinichi be with someone he doesn't like!"

Of course, aside from singing practice, I will definitely support Shin-yi's career.

She spoke with righteous indignation, as if she were entirely in the right.

However, Shinichi Kitagawa will not compromise this time, because Reina was partly responsible for his previous breakup with Hina.

He raised his voice, "So you mean you'd support me if I got together with Hina?! After all, Rena knows best who I like, do you dare say that?"

Rena Kitagawa was speechless for a moment.

Sure enough, that girl.

This time he won't be controlled by Rena, or rather, he can't always be controlled by Rena.

Moreover, Rena has grown up and will no longer give up on herself.

Then he wouldn't have to be so cautious all the time; everyone is growing.

He ignored Rena as they brushed past each other and went to the refrigerator to get a drink: "Anyway, I've made up my mind this time. I'm going to be with Akemi. Didn't you just say that if you're so capable, I'll be intimate with Akemi in front of you? Since you won't listen, I'll do it starting tomorrow. I advise you that if you don't want to see me kissing Akemi, you'd better go find Kana instead."

Rena Kitagawa hadn't expected Shinichi Kitagawa to be so insistent this time. She paused, her eyes immediately reddening, and clenched her small fists angrily, saying, "Shinichi! How dare you!"

Kitagawa Shin turned around, his tone suddenly becoming fierce: "What's there to be afraid of! Is there a problem with being intimate with your girlfriend in front of your sister? You know I haven't been in a good mood lately. I don't expect Rena to support me in my love life, but at least don't interfere like this. I don't want to argue with Rena at all, and I've been very considerate of your feelings."

Rena Kitagawa's eyes suddenly reddened.

His tearful and pitiful appearance dampened Kitagawa Shinichi's arrogance considerably, but he still didn't say anything to comfort him.

Rena Kitagawa angrily threw her schoolbag on the ground and kicked it hard, causing the textbooks inside to fly out.

She strode towards her bedroom.

She slammed the door shut: "I hate Shinichi!"

Shinichi Kitagawa hesitated, but held back. He had already hurt Hina and promised Akemi happiness.

This time, Shinichi Kitagawa was not going to back down. He shouted, "It's no use being rude! If you don't want to cook tonight, then I'll go find Akemi and eat at her house."

Upon hearing this, Rena Kitagawa returned from her room and glared fiercely at Shinichi Kitagawa.

Kitagawa Shinichi couldn't do anything about her, and she couldn't do anything about Kitagawa Shinichi either.

Of course, Shinichi Kitagawa wasn't really that confident to stare at her, nor did he dare to push Rena too far. After all, Rena still held a significant place in his heart; humans are emotional beings.

No one would willingly hurt their loved ones.

Especially since the other party had just comforted him over the weekend, saying that he liked Rena, except for her sometimes unreasonable and domineering temper.

Shinichi Kitagawa held up the drink in his hand: "Want some orange juice?"

"I won't drink it!"

Rena Kitagawa stormed into the kitchen: "I'm going to cook! Tell me what you want to eat!"

When Kitagawa Shin saw her crying in anger, he put down his drink, took two tissues, and went over to hand them to her.

Rena Kitagawa immediately refused: "Leave me alone!"

Kitagawa Shinichi gently wiped away her tears, and she resisted, but only slightly: "Alright! Why are you angry? Can't you just support your brother's idea this time?"

Rena Kitagawa glanced at Shinichi Kitagawa, and after a long pause, uttered, "Daydreaming! Have you ever seen anyone support their crush dating other girls? Unless that girl is an idiot!"

Someone was inexplicably implicated.

Shinichi Kitagawa stopped trying to comfort her, because at least the girl wasn't as withdrawn as before when she was angry.

He changed the subject and whispered, "I'm not talking to you anymore, I want to eat Rena's ginger-braised pork."

Kitagawa Rena pretended not to hear, took out a knife and started chopping cabbage with sharp, swift strokes, venting her frustration with the food.

Shinichi Kitagawa went to the living room and picked up her schoolbag: "I'm going to do my homework. I'm looking forward to dinner tonight."

At mealtime, a plate of fragrant and delicious braised pork with ginger, along with four other dishes and a soup, was laid out on the table. Next to it sat Rena, who was coldly waiting for her brother to sit down before starting to eat.

Upon seeing this, Shinichi Kitagawa walked over with an barely suppressed smile and patted her head again: "Rena is so nice. Then tomorrow you'd better eat with Kana properly and give Akemi and me some space."

"Shut up!" she said, then suddenly burst into tears. Seeing this, Kitagawa Shinichi quickly hugged her and let her head rest against his stomach: "Don't cry, I didn't mean to be mean to Rena."

Rena Kitagawa felt her brother's body temperature and scent, and she hugged Shinichi Kitagawa. But was Rena Kitagawa so easily subdued?

No.

Even if Kitagawa Shinichi argued to the heavens, Kitagawa Rena would not give him up easily.

Because Shinichi Kitagawa is the only one she would never give up on.

So she choked back tears and hugged him, saying, "Since you believe I'll act like a scoundrel, then don't blame me for acting like a scoundrel too."

Shinichi Kitagawa: "Hmm?"

Suddenly, Rena Kitagawa stood up, looked up at Shinichi Kitagawa with a blush, tiptoed, hugged his neck, and kissed him.

He even stuck out his tongue.

Shinichi Kitagawa felt the softness on his lips and tried to push her away, but Rena Kitagawa held his neck even tighter.

Moreover, because Shinichi Kitagawa hadn't expected her to do this suddenly, his teeth didn't stop her.

After their lips and teeth had been locked for a full half minute, Kitagawa Rena was finally pushed away.

Shinichi Kitagawa looked at Rena with a slightly flushed face and surprise.

Kitagawa Rena lowered her gaze, gave a shy snort, sat down, and picked up her chopsticks to eat.

"From today onwards, if you're close to Mingmei, then I'll also start to be close to Yi."

Shinichi Kitagawa was truly helpless against her: "Even so, I'll still have dinner with Akemi tomorrow! We'll even kiss."

"Whatever!"
