They all have hidden attributes!

"If you want Sayo to win, that's fine."

"I didn't mean to favor her, I was just thinking that my senior is indeed [merciless]."

"Does Makoto want to see Sayo in a maid outfit?"

Tachibana Yuki turned her azure eyes and suddenly laughed: "How about I give you Saya's slave rights?"

Through money, beauty, and power, gradually accustom him to a simple and convenient life until desire is ignited within him, making him unable to leave.

This is how she invades Makoto Takahashi's daily life—simple yet irresistible.

As the saying goes, "It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality." Doing this will not arouse his resentment or dislike, but will quickly achieve the goal of soft control, which is perfect.

As for whether Makoto Takahashi would release Maya Uesugi directly, or whether some unexpected things would happen, Yuki Tatsumi wasn't worried at all.

—Probably no one understands Maya Uesugi's awkward personality better than her.

"Is it okay?" Takahashi Makoto seemed to want to.

Maid version of Hell Girl sounds very rare, but Uesugi Maya definitely wouldn't bring her own maid outfit, and she has a phobia of germs so she wouldn't wear borrowed clothes.

This seems a bit troublesome.

He instantly lost interest: "Forget it, Uesugi-kun might not lose to you."

“Makoto has a lot of confidence in her.” Tachimi Yuki exclaimed in surprise, raising her hand to cover her pink lips.

"Fortunately, I think there's a good chance you'll draw."

"Then let's switch to a more challenging star target."

We'll talk about it later.

While chatting, the two took the elevator downstairs and walked out of the apartment building. A familiar black sedan was parked on the side of the road.

Kashima Reiko quickened her pace and opened the car door.

As he sat in the back seat of the car, Tachibana Yuki handed him a piece of chocolate. Takahashi Makoto wasn't really interested in eating it yet, so he took it and put it in his pants pocket.

She unwrapped a piece of chocolate herself, brought it to her lips, took a small bite, and closed her eyes to savor it carefully.

The vehicle started and drove smoothly along the street in the morning light.

Looking out the car window at the gradually awakening Tokyo street scene, Makoto Takahashi suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to load the assistance card because of the young lady's surprise attack, so he summoned the system.

On the first day of his holiday, he decided to take a break, especially since it was the day the two young ladies had arranged to meet, and he didn't know what might happen.

Abandon [training] and choose [rest].

Just as the assist card was adjusted and the system was turned off, the vehicle turned into the gate and headed towards Chiyoda Ward along the elevated road.

"Makoto, if you agree to date me now, I'll let Yoru win, okay?"

After finishing the chocolate, Tachimi Yuki leaned over and reached out her hand toward Takahashi Makoto's cheek: "I'm willing to give up a lot for Makoto-kun."

A soft, delicate floral scent filled my nostrils, and my shoulders felt inexplicably heavy.

Makoto Takahashi turned his head and saw the tender light and adoration surging in her beautiful blue eyes, which made him feel inexplicably irritated.

Upon closer reflection, he didn't dislike Nekoya Hina's overly enthusiastic physical contact, nor did he dislike Uesugi Maya's sense of boundaries; Tachimi Yuki, on the other hand, was forcing himself to get used to it.

Makoto Takahashi leaned back, his expression stiff, and said, "I feel bad for rejecting you a second time, but I can't agree to date you."

"Why?" Tachikami Yuki frowned, looking troubled.

Seeing her eyes dim and her expression somewhat disappointed, Makoto Takahashi eased the atmosphere with a gentle yet firm tone: "For me, only two people who like each other and have built a relationship of trust can date."

"It's quite common for feelings to deepen after falling in love."

"Dating with a 'let's give it a try' attitude is a minefield for me."

"Yes, it's okay."

Tachikami Yuki nodded in understanding, then immediately smiled and said, "But Makoto-kun, you have to give me a chance to build trust. I'm confident I can make you like me."

"First of all, please stop testing my attitude towards love and relationships with all sorts of random things, senior," Makoto Takahashi said, maintaining a serious expression.

"Cheng-kun is really sensitive."

"Because this is a minefield."

"Are there any other minefields? I'll remember them all."

"Stop the surprise attacks, they're a bit scary."

"Seriously, fine."

Li Jianxing reluctantly agreed, unsure whether he would keep his word.

Not long after, the black sedan drove into the mansion that Makoto Takahashi had visited once before and stopped in front of the unfamiliar single-story wooden building.

After getting off the car, Makoto Takahashi followed Yuki Tatsumi into the building and arrived at a spacious rectangular Japanese-style room, where a beautiful woman in a kimono sat in the seat of honor.

The blue kimono is embroidered with white birds poised for flight, her hair is styled in a bun with a hairpin, her eyebrows and eyes are gentle, and she has a smile on her lips, giving people a natural sense of closeness.

When Makoto Takahashi saw the beautiful woman's striking resemblance to Yuki Tatsumi and her identical blue eyes, he immediately realized he had been tricked.

Tachimi Yuki had extended an invitation some time ago, which Takahashi Makoto declined. Nothing unexpected happened when he visited the archery dojo at Tachimi's house last time, and since he hadn't woken up yet this morning, he naturally wouldn't be very wary.

Unexpectedly, Li Jianxing seized the opportunity and dragged him directly to meet his parents.

Makoto Takahashi was never good at dealing with strange women, let alone elders. He could only force himself to remain calm and hide his unease.

"This is my mother."

Tachibana Yuki naturally took Takahashi Makoto's hand and led him to sit down at the low wooden table nearby: "Make yourself at home."

Takahashi Makoto turned and met her gaze. Seeing her standing there, he gave her a sly smile, pursed his lips, and chose to sit upright.

As he bowed, he searched his mind for social phrases and polite remarks he hadn't used in a long time.

"Nice to meet you, I am Makoto Takahashi."

Chapter 60 The Young Lady's Way of Expressing Love

It's so embarrassing.

Takahashi Makoto sat upright at the tea table, feeling extremely uneasy.

The spacious and quiet interior was bathed in the bright sunlight of a summer morning, streaming in through an open wooden sliding door and falling on the wooden floor. Yellow ribbons hanging from the black beams swayed gently in the sweltering breeze.

Aside from the fact that he is the head of a chaebol family, the main reason is that elders of this age can make people instinctively feel nervous.

Sitting beside him, Tachikami Yuki opened the tea set box and slowly took out various tea utensils, including a water jug, a small tea spoon, and a tea ladle, placing them neatly on the tea table in front of him before elegantly preparing tea.

Makoto Takahashi lowered his eyes to look at Yuki Tatsumi's slender, fair hands, trying to distract himself.

At this moment, the beautiful woman sitting in the superior position smiled and said, "Takahashi-kun, has Sachi caused you a lot of trouble?"

"No, no, Senior Sister Xing took good care of me."

Makoto Takahashi didn't want to speak ill of his friends in front of his elders, even though he and Yuki Tachimi weren't exactly good friends, but he had indeed received quite a few gifts from her.

Just as she was wondering how to be polite, Tachibana Yuki extended her soft hand and offered her a cup of hot tea. Taking advantage of the moment she came closer, she whispered in Takahashi Makoto's ear:

"Don't be so reserved, there's nothing to be nervous about."

“I’m not you. No matter what, Aunt Lijian is a big shot who holds the economic lifeline of Japan.”

He whispered in his ear, feeling the breath on his skin. For the first time, Tachibana Yuki was so close to Takahashi Makoto, and a smug smile appeared on his lips.

Because strangers are present, people will instinctively lean on acquaintances, thus unconsciously closing the distance, which is also part of the plan to meet.

She raised her hand and gently patted Takahashi Makoto's back, speaking in her usual tone, "Makoto-kun, just be as comfortable as you can."

In the quiet Japanese-style room, her sweet voice was exceptionally clear. Hearing it, Tachimi Kotoha, who was in the superior position, spoke in a gentle tone:

"Takahashi-kun, treat this place like your own home."

Both of them said that, which made Makoto Takahashi even more uneasy.

He was used to being alone, and preferred the one-on-one atmosphere with Uesugi Maya in the light music club to this kind of occasion, even though she always had a cold face.

In today's social situations, you have to be mindful of the atmosphere, avoid doing anything impolite, and especially avoid causing trouble for others—it's so uncomfortable.

For example, right now, both of them say the same thing, but they are mother and daughter with the surname Lijian. Who knows if it's just politeness or their true feelings?

If we really give up sitting upright, wouldn't the other person think that's very impolite?

This is precisely the core reason why Makoto Takahashi is not good at dealing with strange women; he subconsciously tries to figure out what the other person is thinking, which leaves him exhausted.

However, since Tachikawa Yuki specifically invited him to meet his parents, he naturally wouldn't forget to consider Takahashi Makoto's personality, and he certainly wouldn't want to embarrass him.

Seeing that Takahashi Makoto's body was stiff, his expression rigid, and sweat beading on his forehead, Ritsuki took his hand, trying her best to soothe him with gentle words:

"Chengjun, you don't even like me, so why are you thinking so much? Besides, it doesn't matter if your mother doesn't like you. If you can't get blessings for your marriage, you can elope."

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Takahashi Makoto was stunned by her inexplicable words and turned his head to meet her gaze in a daze.

Her sky-blue eyes were filled with a reassuring light, and the clear calls of wild birds from the courtyard brought a sense of peace.

Makoto Takahashi realized he was holding Yuki Tachimi's cool, soft hand, but felt her skin burning hot.

"I didn't mean anything by it. I tricked you into coming here today not only to let you see your mother, but also to help you."

Tachikami held his hand tightly and said with a smile, "The Tachikami family's assets are measured in trillions, covering various industries such as real estate, energy, and finance, all of which are managed by my mother."

"If Chengjun can communicate freely with his mother, he won't feel nervous when facing other strange women in the future, right? After all, they are nothing to him."

Her words revealed a clear class consciousness, but that was the reality in Tokyo.

Makoto Takahashi saw only sincerity in Yuki Tachimi's eyes and genuinely believed what she said.

"How did you know?" He changed to a cross-legged sitting position.

"Lengzi found out by asking around at the cat house."

"So you admit you tricked me into coming here?"

"Didn't Xiaoye tell you? I'm a bad woman."

Tachibana Yuki's sweet voice made Takahashi Makoto's mood waver a little. In any case, she had spent a lot of effort, that was a fact.

For Miyuki Tate, loving someone means, besides showing your own strengths, accepting their weaknesses, helping them solve problems, and finding ways to help them become better.

"Have some tea."
