They all have hidden attributes!

Do you like it?

"I'll stay at your place tonight." Makoto Takahashi decided to grant her wish.

"Did you learn it, Xiaoye?"

Tachimi Yuki turned to her with a sweet smile, but Uesugi Maya, remembering her remarks at the lingerie store, suddenly turned icy cold, staring straight at Tachimi Yuki.

Yuki Tachibana's clear, azure eyes were also fixed on Maya Uesugi, her smile undiminished.

The two stared at each other, and the rapidly deteriorating atmosphere made Makoto Takahashi, who was drinking cola, feel a sharp pain in his throat.

An incurable silence enveloped the restaurant, and a heavy sense of oppression slowly spread from the two people in the center.

After a brief standoff, Uesugi Maya and Tachimi Yuki suddenly stood up and said to Takahashi Makoto, "Let's go, we have a Latin dance class this afternoon."

The voice was clear and indifferent, yet carried a commanding tone.

This shows that Uesugi Maya was indeed breathing, and the peaceful scene between the two just now seemed like an illusion.

"Go on, Cheng-kun, remember to come home and sleep tonight."

Li Jianxing picked up his black tea and smiled slightly: "Please congratulate your friend for me, and don't forget to bring a gift."

The difference in status was immediately apparent; the young lady held a firm advantage.

Seeing the two turn on each other in just a few words, creating an awkward atmosphere, Makoto Takahashi sighed helplessly, stood up, and prepared to leave with Maya Uesugi.

"Leave the car to you?" he asked Li Jianxing.

"No need, Lengzi will be here soon."

"Then we'll be going now."

Seeing that Uesugi Maya had put on her coat, Takahashi Makoto left the restaurant with her.

Stepping out the door, Uesugi Maya turned her head slightly and said indifferently, "You see, she's always so hostile towards me."

To Makoto Takahashi, who was unaware of the conversation at the lingerie store, calling it hostility wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Tachimi Yuki was indeed targeting Uesugi Maya, but his aggression didn't seem too strong.

"Has this happened frequently before?"

Makoto Takahashi suddenly asked, then added, "I mean a long time ago, for example, before Sachi's father passed away."

"The first time was in elementary school, not long after Aunt Jingzi resigned."

Maya Uesugi took a deep breath and said with a straight face, "On the way home from school, she suddenly accused me of being disobedient. That was the first time I had ever been targeted with clear hostility."

Recalling Tachibana's angry expression at the time, Uesugi Maya's lips trembled as she continued:

"I just wanted to stay quiet, but because of my indifferent attitude, she became even more irritable and unreasonable the next day."

Although she didn't know why she was given the order, Uesugi Maya was only troubled at the time.

"I see." Makoto Takahashi nodded thoughtfully.

Based on his understanding of Li Jianxing, he shouldn't be so forceful. Although the young lady has a strong desire for control, she usually uses methods that leave no trace.

Or was it that Tachibana Yuki wasn't smart enough when she was young, and wasn't she the gentle [angel] she is now?

Since the two of them have been able to get along peacefully for a short time today, let's strike while the iron is hot and ask Yi Jianxing tonight to sort things out as soon as possible.

With these thoughts in mind, Makoto Takahashi went downstairs with Maya Uesugi, took a car to the hotel, and began today's Latin dance class.

As the course progressed daily, the two gained a deeper understanding of Latin dance. Their coordination improved dramatically, and they also grasped the meaning of "three-minute love."

As they gazed deeply into each other's eyes, night suddenly fell.

As I said goodbye to my teacher and walked out of the hotel, I received a message from Hanakawa Kaori.

Upon learning that Shiraishi Junka lived in his apartment, Takahashi Makoto and Uesugi Maya took a car home together, asking each other a few more questions about the past along the way.

In short, Uesugi Maya felt that Tatsumi Yuki habitually ordered her around and often showed hostility, which caused their relationship to deteriorate.

Back at the apartment, Makoto Takahashi and she parted ways in the hallway.

When Uesugi Maya returned home, he took out his key and opened the door. The light in the entryway shone brightly, warming the air and dispelling the lingering chill on his coat.

"I am back."

Welcome home.

A beautiful figure with black hair and a white dress appeared from the art studio and quickly approached along the corridor with a rushing footstep.

Makoto Takahashi clearly sensed the joy and satisfaction in Junka Shiraishi's heart, so he reached out and caught her soft, delicate body.

“I might have to move in a few days,” he said softly.

"Ah."

"I gave you the keys as a Christmas gift, but now it seems a bit inappropriate. Is there anything else you'd like?"

Makoto Takahashi hugged her tightly and gently stroked her back. Junka Shiraishi buried her face in his chest, took a deep breath, and then raised her head.

Her wine-red eyes, seen through the gaps in her black hair, were soft and moist, sparkling with anticipation, alluring and captivating.

"Anything is fine." She looked at him with a longing expression.

"Don't worry, you won't feel lonely after you move out."

Takahashi Makoto pondered for a moment, recalling the tableware store he had visited earlier that day, and then lowered his head to peck at her alluring pink lips: "Do you know any of Debussy's piano pieces? I feel they suit you very well, so tender and moving."

"Hmm...do you want to learn?"

"How about starting tomorrow? I'll move to Roppongi before I move."

"With Cheng by my side, everything is fine."

Shiraishi Junka wrapped her arms around his neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him forcefully.

Chapter 197 Girlfriend and Cat - Holding a Grudge

The warm air inside the car was so comfortable it made me want to drowsily sleep.

Shiraishi Junka rested her head on Takahashi Makoto's shoulder, gazing at the neon lights of Kasuga Avenue flowing past the car window, feeling a gentle warmth that gradually warmed her heart.

The romantic melody of Debussy's piano piece flowed through the carriage. She listened absentmindedly, her heart filled with happiness, her attention subtly shifting towards Makoto Takahashi.

After a quiet period, Shiraishi Junka felt his body temperature and, in a coquettish manner, slipped her fingers between Takahashi Makoto's fingers, as if she were yearning to hold onto him.

"Cheng has something on his mind, but he won't tell me."

The gentle voice that fell softly expressed a desire not to be ignorant, as well as care and concern.

"You want to know about Aya and Sachi?"

Makoto Takahashi looked down at her delicate and charming face, his tone relaxed, conveying a sense of carefree ease, like being in a classroom after school.

“When a person is sad, their heart will be very tired.” Shiraishi Junka nuzzled his shoulder affectionately, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

"In my opinion, Sachi has always been tolerant of Aya, but in Aya's eyes, it's a different story."

Makoto Takahashi held her voluptuous, soft body in his arms and slowly recounted the day's events, from Maya Uesugi's perspective.

Hearing the clear and easy-to-understand voice with no inflection, Shiraishi Junko slowly opened her eyes, a hint of hesitation appearing in her wine-red eyes.

Should we talk about things from the past?

As a fellow heiress, Junka Shiraishi was not completely unaware of the affair between Yuki Tatsumi and Maya Uesugi, but she was terrified of Maya Uesugi.

It's not just her aggressiveness that's frightening, but also the fear of losing all the pampering.

"Junko?" Makoto Takahashi called out with concern.

Jun Shiraishi is not good at hiding her feelings; her thoughts are written all over her face as she ponders.

She raised her face to meet Takahashi Makoto's gaze, pursed her red lips, pondered for a moment, and then the hesitation in her eyes turned into deep affection:

"I seem to remember something from that time, it was related to Xing and other friends, but I don't know the specifics."

Compared to her own status, she ultimately didn't want to see Takahashi Makoto suffer a headache.

"Other friends, do you mean Fujiwara and his group?" Takahashi Makoto asked.

"Yes, the Uesugi and Fujiwara families were allies in the previous generation."

Shiraishi Junka's reminder was undoubtedly very important. After Uesugi Maya severed ties with the Uesugi family, Takahashi Makoto almost forgot that Uesugi Maya was once the eldest daughter of a family.

Unfortunately, Haki Ye doesn't look like a rich young lady anymore. Besides her artistic flair, she exudes more of a virtuous wife and loving mother vibe.

"I'll ask Xing tonight. By the way, do you think you can get their contact information?"

"It seems so."

Shiraishi Junka handed him her phone, and Takahashi Makoto leaned down and kissed her cheek forcefully before opening the phone to find contact information:

"I don't really want to go looking for someone like Xingyao. She's probably afraid I'll cheat on her."

Shiraishi Junka was also afraid, and she even wanted to block the way for others, but seeing Takahashi Makoto's headache, she was left with only the thought of "I'll help him if I can".

Other things... are not important.

“I believe in sincerity.” She tilted her head and leaned closer again.

"I will always spoil you, no matter what the situation."

Makoto Takahashi returned the phone and turned his gaze to the street scene outside the car window.

When the vehicle arrived at the restaurant called [Aoyagi], the two finally let go of each other's intertwined fingers.

Stepping inside, red lanterns provide a warm glow, and over a hundred colorful Japanese-style decorations hang on the two-meter-high tree silhouette.

For a Japanese style store, the decor is quite luxurious.

It's clear that Nekoya Haruna is in a great mood today, and she put a lot of thought into treating everyone.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the private room deep inside the restaurant, Makoto Takahashi saw Haruna Nekoya sitting smugly on a soft stool, holding a large wine glass in her hand.

"Acheng, you've finally arrived."

She took a swig of draft beer, her expression one of delight, and exclaimed with high spirits: "Let me tell you, starting tomorrow, I'm an official member of the national team!"

"Even though it's the lowest level of the youth training group." Hanakawa Kaori held the bag in one hand and stuffed potato chips into her mouth with the other, making a relaxed "crunch, crunch" sound.

Despite the biting cold wind outside, the two women were dressed in short sleeves and vests, their beautiful figures on full display, which instantly livened up the atmosphere.
