I was plotting against Hoshino Ai but was pushed back

Saito Hiko picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID. It was an unfamiliar number.

But he still pressed the answer button.

"Hello, who is this?" Saito Hiko asked.

There was no immediate reply from the other end of the line. Instead, there was silence for a second, and then a girl's voice came from the line, "Guess who I am?"

"Guess who you are?" Saito Yan repeated her question, and then said in an inducing way: "Do we know each other?"

"Of course I know her~" The female voice on the other end of the phone was induced by Saito Yan to say a few more words, but she seemed to realize that something was wrong, so she lowered the tone of her voice to make it jump more charmingly and said: "Don't ask too much~ Guess quickly~"

After hearing the coquettish tone, Saito Hiko thought for a while and compared the voice with what he had heard in his memory.

He quickly had a candidate in mind.

"It's love, right?" Saito Hiko said in an affirmative tone.

Apart from her, he had never told his cell phone number to any other girl.

And today Hoshino Ai happened to be going to buy a mobile phone.

It doesn't matter if you guess wrong.

If you guess right, you can make her happy.

"Eh? Is it that obvious?"

The girl answered doubtfully, no longer suppressing her voice.

She thought that if she changed the tone, Saito Hiko wouldn't be able to tell the difference easily, but she didn't expect that he guessed it right at the first try.

I felt a little surprised and also a little happy.

"This is your cell phone number, right?" Saito Hiko heard a familiar voice and confirmed that the person calling was Hoshino Ai.

"Yes, this is my new cell phone number." Hoshino Ai replied with joy in her tone.

"So you already memorized my cell phone number?" Saito Hiko said to Hoshino Ai in a joking tone.

"I don't know your phone number by heart~" Hoshino Ai defended.

Saito Yan didn't argue with her about this matter, but asked her again: "You got the phone so soon, was it me that was the first call you made after buying it? I'm your first person, right?"

Hoshino Ai glanced at Kyoko beside her and the president behind her, shook her head and said, "What did you say? The signal here is not good, I can't hear..."

"This is so fake, so I guessed right, right?" Saito Hiko listened to the voice coming from the phone and raised the corners of his mouth to outline a smile.

"Why do you have so many questions? If you want to answer, you can. Guess another question." Hoshino Ai didn't give Saito Hiko extra time and asked directly: "How many mobile phones did I buy today?"

"How many mobile phones?" Saito Hiko repeated the same question.

"That's right, just guess this." Hoshino Ai confirmed.

She asked this question, should I buy more than two mobile phones?

But based on his understanding of Hoshino Ai, Saito Hiko knew that if she went to buy a mobile phone alone, she would only buy one.

She was very happy just now and was not too upset or disappointed that it was guessed at once.

Although my guess might have made her happy, she didn't sound depressed at all, as if there was still a chance, so she at least had an extra phone number.

Maybe I'm planning to use the new number to catch him someday in the future.

And two numbers mean at least two mobile phones...

Chapter 91 They are not a young couple!

"You got a total of three mobile phones today." Saito Hiko thought for a moment and replied.

He deliberately said the answer was, got, rather than she bought three.

Because he thought that Kyoko and the president might buy a mobile phone for Ai, and this answer was also to avoid Hoshino Ai playing word games with him. Even if she got multiple mobile phones, she would say that she only bought one.

Or if he guessed one, she would answer multiple ones.

"Why did you guess this number?" Hoshino Ai was very surprised to hear Saito Hiko accurately say three mobile phones. Kyoko looked like she had decided to buy her a mobile phone on a whim, not like it had been discussed in advance.

"Did you guess it right?" When Saito Hiko heard Hoshino Ai's surprised tone of answer, he already understood.

"Why did you choose this number? You tell me. Then I will tell you the answer." Hoshino Ai wanted to hear Saito Hiko's thoughts.

"If you let me guess how many mobile phones you got today, it's probably not just one. And when I guessed it was a new number just now, your tone was very relaxed, so I feel that you have at least one mobile phone number.

Therefore, I guess you have three mobile phones." Saitohiko expressed his guess.

"That's not right. Didn't you guess that I only have two numbers? Why did you say there were three phones instead of two? How did you guess three?" Hoshino Ai still couldn't understand what Saito Hiko said.

"Because I think one is impossible, then two is possible, but I think my guess would be wrong, so I choose to guess three." Saito Hiko replied.

"So you are actually using the process of elimination, right?" Hoshino Ai finally understood what Saito Hiko was thinking when she heard him say that.

"So I guessed right, right? Love?" Saito Hiko asked, pretending not to know the answer.

"Well, you guessed right." Hoshino Ai replied.

"So I was the first person you contacted after you got the phone, right?" Saito Hiko asked.

"You guessed it right." Hoshino Ai answered straightforwardly. As she spoke, she noticed that President Kyoko beside her was looking at her. "What are you two doing? Look at me."

"Ai, who are you talking to on the phone?" Kyoko asked Hoshino Ai with a sad look. Although she had already guessed who was on the other end from the conversation on the phone.

"It's Hiko-kun." Hoshino Ai answered truthfully.

The president heard Hoshino Ai talking to Saito Hiko and asked, "Ai, have you and Saito Hiko decided where to perform?"

"Not yet."

Hoshino Ai shook her head and replied.

"Do you need me to help you choose?" asked the president.

President Hoshino Ai took the initiative to mention that she didn't know what Saito Hiko was planning, but she felt that if the choice of the venue was left to him, he would definitely choose a venue with many people.

She felt that the bigger the stage, the greater the pressure, and wanted to start with a smaller stage, but Saito Hiko had already decided that it had to be at least a hall-sized stage, so she wanted to choose the one with the smallest number of people.

So she asked the president, "Does the president have any recommendations for a performance venue that can hold around a thousand people?"

The president thought for a moment and replied, "As for performance venues of this size, I know there are several good ones in Shinjuku."

"Hiko-kun, um...I want to talk to you about something." Hoshino Ai said into the phone.

"I refuse." Saitohiko refused before his beloved could say anything. He had been listening to the sound coming from the phone, so from her question, he roughly guessed that she wanted to entrust the president to make the choice.

He hopes to enjoy the process of finding a venue with Hoshino Ai, rather than trying to get quick results.

If he was only considering the results, then there would be no need for him to go on a field survey with Hoshino Ai.

When it comes to cultivating relationships, persistence is the key.

"I haven't even said anything yet, why did you refuse?" Hoshino Ai was confused by Saito Hiko's refusal.

"I'm not deaf. I heard the conversation you had with the president just now. There's no need to trouble him to find a venue." Saito Hiko found an excuse to refuse.

Hoshino Ai repeated Saito Hiko's answer to the president next to her.

"No trouble, no trouble, no trouble at all. I'm even happy to help you choose." The president answered without thinking.

The president knew that the reason behind Saito Hiko's recent efforts was Hoshino Ai. He had been quite resentful towards Saito Hiko for some time, so when he learned that he could cause trouble for Saito Hiko, he made this choice without hesitation.

Hoshino Ai relayed the president's answer and added: "The president said this..."

Saito Hiko silently made a note of the president in his heart, and his disguise could no longer be used.

He thought for a moment and said, "Okay... You win... I'll tell you what I think. The field survey is just an excuse to deceive others. What I really want is to spend more time with you."

Saitohiko said to Hoshino Ai in a sincere tone: "If there was no such reason, I would have decided on this matter a long time ago."

When Hoshino Ai heard Saitohiko's words, she felt happy and said with a smile on her face, "Since you said so, I won't bother you, President."

She said this and bowed slightly to the president to apologize.

When the president saw Hoshino Ai apologizing to him, he quickly waved his hand to signal her not to care.

"How long are you two going to keep talking on the phone?" Kyoko said with resentment.

She finally convinced Saito Hiko not to interfere too much, but it turned out that he had no intention of keeping in touch with Hoshino Ai, and they even chatted on the phone.

Phone bills are expensive! And I just said that I will pay for Ai's phone bill until college...

I really want to take that sentence back...

"He and I are not a couple!" When Hoshino Ai heard Kyoko think of them as a couple, she raised her voice reflexively.

When Saitohiko heard what Hoshino Ai said, he guessed that the president or Kyoko was teasing her. In order not to embarrass her, he took the initiative to say, "You are still shopping with Kyoko, so I won't disturb you. I wish you a happy time today. I won't disturb you."

Before hanging up the phone, he asked casually, "Was it the president who teased you?"

"It's Kyoko!" Hoshino Ai immediately replied when she heard Saito Hiko's question.

Saitohiko thought it was the president who was teasing Hoshino Ai, but he didn't expect it was Kyoko who was teasing Hoshino Ai. He became confused and said to Hoshino Ai: "Is Kyoko still looking at you? Has she done anything strange to you since she brought you here? If you have time, tell me everything she did since she brought you here."

"She's still looking at me... Why are you asking this? Let me think..." Hoshino Ai answered Saito Hiko's question, then walked away from Kyoko and the president, probably keeping a distance that neither of them could hear, and whispered to Saito Hiko everything she had seen Kyoko do just now.

Chapter 92: Distorted Smile

After listening to Hoshino Ai's description, Saito Hiko discovered that Kyoko was deliberately sending the president away in order to spend more time with Hoshino Ai.

I feel what Kyoko said in front of the office.

She exaggerates the matter and takes advantage of his anxious mind to deceive him and make him obey her.

He was not allowed to act with her and Hoshino Ai.

Because Kyoko knew that if he followed her, she would just become a foil.

I said it, how can love become a yandere so easily?

"Ai, thank you. Tell me these things. You have to be careful and don't believe everything others say." Saito Hiko said to Hoshino Ai intentionally.

"Why are you saying something ambiguous? Just say it clearly and stop being a riddle teller!" Hoshino Ai heard Saito Hiko's reply with anger in her tone.

"I'll tell you next time we meet, that's all for today."

Saitohiko put the matter off.
