Tokyo: Starting with taking on his wife's debts

Tachibana secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was probably just saying it to ease my awkwardness; he's so thoughtful.

After all, in stock trading, stop-loss orders guarantee execution but not price, while limit orders guarantee price but not execution; these are all clearly stipulated in the rules.

"It's getting late, let's pack up and go home!"

After finishing his grilled meat slices, Hideaki sorted through the contracts that Sugita Naoto had brought him.

Although the table was laden with dishes, the plates were large but the portions were small. Since Xiuming hadn't eaten lunch, the food was quickly devoured.

He wanted to take the contract back to Ayako and ask her for more details about the Sugita family's doll factory.

Also, give Riko's loan application materials to Ezaki to see how much she can lend out at most.

If she doesn't satisfy me, I'll sleep with her. I've said several times that I want to sleep with a female bank employee, and she happens to be one of them.

"Ah, okay...okay..."

Tachibana glanced at her watch subconsciously, and before she knew it, two and a half hours had passed; it was already 7:30.

Hideaki called the waitress to settle the bill: 38,000 yen.

The most expensive bottle of wine, even though it was opened and half a glass was poured, couldn't be returned, so I had to pack it up and take it with me.

He only carried 500 yen coins with him when he went out, for printing contracts.

He didn't have a single pocket on him. He should go back and settle accounts with Ayako, and then ask her to add two more pockets.

"I'll pay!"

As Hideaki patted the pockets on his clothes that didn't have any pockets, Tachibana handed her credit card to the cashier.

Tachibana appeared nonchalant on the surface, but inside she was bleeding: 38,000 yen… that could buy my life… I'm so pathetic… Okay! It's an investment, he has money… there will be a return…

"I should have been the one to treat you, but you've gone to all the trouble."

Xiuming took a quick step and pushed open the glass door of the coffee shop with the bell.

I thought Sugita Naoto would pay, but I underestimated his stinginess. I asked him for 250,000 yen to return to Tachibana, since she said that Sugita Naoto suddenly canceled the order, which caused her to lose her salary.

Hideaki's instinctive act of pushing the door open made Tachibana feel, in a daze, that paying the bill this time was worthwhile, if only he could open the door for her like that every day...

At 7 p.m., Ginza is in its peak period for foot traffic.

Countless couples walked in and out hand in hand, with smiles on their faces.

But after leaving the coffee shop, Hideaki headed straight for the nearest tram.

Even Tachibana could barely keep up with his pace.

"Um..." Tachibana hurried after her, "Can we wait a moment?"

"What's wrong?" Xiuming stopped and turned around to ask.

"It's...that...could we...walk around here for a bit? I heard there's a concert coming up later..."

Tachibana instinctively clutched the blue skirt on her legs, not daring to look up at Hideaki's face, and unable to hear what she was saying.

"Really?" Xiuming blinked, stretched out his right hand, and waved it in front of her eyes.

"Yes, it is."

Tachibana's heart pounded wildly, she felt breathless, and her face burned uncomfortably.

She suddenly regretted it; she should have gone home and looked up some dating tips...

Suddenly, my left hand was gripped tightly by Xiuming's hand.

Tachibana felt a chill run down her spine, gasped for breath, and held it in her chest, feeling dizzy.

"You've never been held by a boy before, have you?" Xiuming stared at her with wide eyes. "Never been in a relationship? Your palms are sweating."

"No...no, no, we talked, we talked..."

Tachibana wanted to tell the truth, but if she did, would she seem unattractive, as the female senior had said?

But after saying it, he regretted it. Wasn't the reason he had never been in a relationship to avoid bad rumors?

But it's already been said, so how can I change it?

"Then why are you shy?"

Xiuming pried her fingers apart, interlocked them, shook her arm, and said as they walked, "Let's walk to the platform! I have a lot of things to do, I'm quite busy."

"me..."

Tachibana didn't hear what Hideaki said; she only felt the effects of the two sips of alcohol kicking in. She felt dizzy, unable to stand, her heart was racing, she couldn't breathe, and she felt like she was going to die.

No, this puts me in a very passive position. I need to go home and look up some dating tips...

Chapter 96 Didn't he know what kind of vulgar comic he was drawing?

It's about 300 meters from the entrance to the Ginza shopping street to the nearest tram stop.

You need to walk across the small square in front of the commercial street where people come and go, then cross a small intersection with few vehicles, and then walk south for more than 200 meters along the pedestrian street on the west side of the road.

To the right of the pedestrian street is a fairly large park, with a long wooden bench placed every ten steps or so. The golden sunlight of the evening shines through the gaps in the branches and leaves of the trees in the park, leaving dappled patterns on the ground and the benches.

On a sunny May evening, the temperature was neither too hot nor too cold. A gentle breeze blew from the park, lifting the long hair on Tachibana's face and the hem of her light blue skirt.

The scent of shampoo and shower gel wafted into Xiuming's nostrils—a delicate fragrance with a pure aroma.

Her palms were already damp with a fine sheen of sweat, soft and smooth.

She kept her head down, and her delicate and smooth profile, as well as her fair and slender neck, were tinged with pink.

Her long, slender eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes seemed dazed or sleepwalking, and her moist, pink lips would occasionally purse slightly; you could also hear her slightly rapid breathing.

She's a complete blank slate!

Xiuming made up his mind.

Her shy, bewildered, and innocent demeanor was different from Eri's gloomy and reclusive personality.

She is like a newborn lamb that can't run yet in this complex and dangerous human society, all protein.

Whoever finds it will swallow it whole.

Based on Xiuming's previous assumptions, he definitely wouldn't seduce a naive girl.

After all, married men are no match for the natural advantages of single men.

If you're single, you can use excuses like "incompatible personalities," "different pursuits," or "different values" to justify breaking up.

But what about married men, those with wives at home?

Is this dating? It's more like being a pervert.

But they had already started playing with it, put it in their mouths, and grabbed her little hand.

Such soft little hands, it's so pleasant to hold them, and if you gently scratch them, her shoulders will tremble.

As for the possibility of him turning evil in the future, that's just a matter of probability! How could it be such a coincidence?

If I hesitate any longer, the little white flower that was about to be eaten will run away. Besides, we live in a society governed by law. She can't possibly chase me down with a machete, can she?

Isn't she looking to have long conversations with high-quality men? That's exactly what I'm looking for!

If you give her endless money, even if she turns against you, she'll be less assertive.

That is her weakness.

Besides, is she the only one who'll turn on me? I'll turn on you too and make her pay up.

How can a mature woman mature quickly without encountering a few scumbags?

I'll be her first mentor and help her grow quickly!

Hideaki held Tachibana's soft little hand, which he couldn't bear to let go of, and quickly made excuses for his shameless behavior, even adding the label of "life mentor" on his own.

Of course, Xiuming understood, but he really couldn't bear to spit out the little white flower that was already in his mouth.

"Tachibana-chan, what kind of person was your ex-boyfriend? Why did you break up with him?"

Hideaki took Tachibana's hand and sat side by side on a bench with its back to the park.

She just said she's been in a relationship. Great!

I guess it's just to show off her charm and avoid being looked down upon.

I'll play along and let her keep lying. I'll seize the opportunity to label her a "scumbag," so that when my true colors as a scumbag are revealed later, I'll have an excuse to make her feel guilty.

Tachibana shuddered.

Why would he ask such a question?

Is he bothered by it? He definitely is...

I was so stupid, why did I lie?

I deliberately avoid dating and protect myself, isn't that the advantage I'm looking for?

Since they were already holding hands... Tachibana steeled herself, closed her eyes, and whispered:

"I...I've never been in a relationship, I don't have an ex-boyfriend...I just...I just didn't want you to look down on me...I'm sorry..."

"Uh... really?"

Xiuming was taken aback for a moment, then calmly took her hand and held it in his palm, gently kneading it. "You are the cutest and kindest girl I have ever met. How could I look down on you? It only makes me worry. After all, there are just too many bad men out there. You must keep your eyes wide open in the future and never be deceived by them."

She doesn't seem like a high-end hunter at all. Her straightforward honesty and unconventional approach make it difficult to label her.

Xiuming calmed down in an instant.

Her naivety was beyond imagination. The more naive a person is, the more likely they are to go to extremes after being deceived. There is an 80% chance that she will turn to the dark side.

She's my sniper. If she messes up at a crucial moment, she'll turn the tables and make me lose everything, leaving me with nowhere to cry.

Tachibana lowered her head and remained silent, but her soft hand tightened slightly as she squeezed Hideaki's hand.

Her reaction... Xiuming's heart tightened again. Without making a sound, he let go of her hand, then pulled his own hand back, stood up and said, "The tram is here, I have to go."

No, I need to go back and think about it carefully.

In addition, find a few more professional snipers who sign contracts, male only, not female.
