My new wife discovered my past.

"Ms. Matsumoto..."

The words of Miss Matsumoto are still ringing in her ears. They have brought extra warmth to Hitomi Matsumoto in the past year and a half. In a sense, they have become one of her pillars on the isolated island of Tokyo.

However, when Matsumoto Hitomi went to pay tonight, the person at the cashier was not the same old lady who always stayed there, but another middle-aged woman she had never seen before.

"Seikei 2250 yen."

"Yes...Excuse me, is Grandma Hasegawa on vacation today?"

"Grandma Hasegawa? She's too old. She must have been fired two or three days ago, right? She should have returned to her hometown by now... Oh, how pitiful. She lives alone in Tokyo, but she's still so optimistic. I don't know how she does it..."

Hearing the woman's words, Matsumoto Hitomi nodded in a daze with her eyes open. After paying the bill and preparing to leave, the middle-aged female cashier called her again.

"Wait a minute, sir! It's raining outside. I see you don't have an umbrella. Would you like to buy one? It's only 1200 yen each!"

"No, I have an umbrella in my car."

After the rejection, Hitomi Matsumoto got into the car and sat in the driver's seat for a long time in silence. What Hitomi Matsumoto cares about now is not the fact that Grandma Hasegawa lied to her, but the fact that she might never see her again in the future.

These friends, regardless of age difference, only communicate in and through the ramen restaurant and have no other means of contact.

It's no use regretting now...

Hitomi Matsumoto looked out the window at the bustling and flashing neon lights of Tokyo. The dullness of the rainy day was extremely prominent in the drizzle, and she almost couldn't breathe even sitting in the car.

The rain was getting heavier. The woman watched the pedestrians outside the car hurrying around in the rain, holding transparent plastic umbrellas. There might be several high schools nearby, and from time to time there would be a pair of young boys and girls in student uniforms, holding umbrellas and walking in the rain, joking and playing as they passed by.

The flying skirt and wet hair were reflected in the puddles, and were stepped on and burst. The neon lights of the surrounding high-rise buildings also became the girl's slaves. A warm, ambiguous and inexplicable atmosphere burst out from the eyes of a pair of young boys and girls looking at each other under the umbrella.

As expected, there will be another group of high school students coming to the love hotel tonight...

Hitomi Matsumoto took everything in. If she never smoked, the thing she would most want to do right now was to open the car window a little and vent all the pent-up dissatisfaction in her heart out of the car.

"Youth is so wonderful... it's disgusting and repulsive."

Hitomi Matsumoto neither had a complete and carefree childhood, nor did she meet a boy she liked when she was a young girl. She also did not have the time or the qualifications to meet him.

In the private girls' high school where she attends, not only are all the students female, but also the teachers, internal security, cleaning staff, and all the school staff are all female. It is a rare all-female high school.

Because of this, and the oppressive and closed environment, from time to time, some students who were tired of studying would drop out, and suddenly there would be no sound...

Also, because there are no opposite sex around them, some female students are influenced by the environment and their orientations begin to become strange.

Matsumoto Hitomi is not among them. And because she deliberately makes herself look ugly and becomes the shadow character in the marginal corner of the class, she is not noticed and has no friends. Even less will any female classmates with lesbian tendencies approach her.

But... she still envied being able to go shopping and date with the boy she liked, sit close to each other on the train after school, listen to the same song with the same headphones, drink coffee and do homework in a coffee shop, or go to a comic book store to read the latest comics, and then in a depressing atmosphere and space, lower their voices and feel each other's heartbeat...

Hitomi Matsumoto envied these things very much and had fantasized about them more than once, longing to turn her dreams into reality.

But she had never experienced any of it...

Having made up her mind, Matsumoto Hitomi has already made up her mind about her date with Watanabe Tetsuya on June 6th.

If the typhoon is not severe and there is no storm, Hitomi Matsumoto wants Watanabe to accompany her to the comic book store to read comics, and then go to the couple hotel after lunch.

If the typhoon is exaggerated, then just reading comics in a love hotel is the same, and there will be more time to do it...

After all, her mood improved a little, and Matsumoto Hitomi started to drive home.

Holding a transparent plastic umbrella as she climbed the stairs, Hitomi Matsumoto was glad that she had the foresight to not wear high heels.

Although high heels look good and Watanabe is a foot fetishist, she guessed that there was no room for her to show her talents. So, isn't wearing high heels just pure torture for herself?

After experiencing the afternoon, Matsumoto Hitomi was indeed impressed by her own intelligence.

Because she was wearing flat shoes, the sound she made when she went upstairs was very light and small, and the rain stopped, and the "patter" sound of dripping eaves interfered, so the huddled figure sitting with legs bent at the corner of the stairs did not notice that the person she was waiting for had passed by her.

It didn't matter that the person sitting on the ground with legs crossed didn't notice. Matsumoto Hitomi, who was passing by, returned along the way. She put away her umbrella and asked softly to the woman leaning against the wall, hidden in the shadows:

"Lu-chan? Is that you...?"

The woman who had buried her head lowered her head and looked up, and it happened to be Miyagawa Lu's tearful face.

There was no time to think about why Miyagawa Lu was leaning in the corner with tears on her face. Matsumoto Hitomi could see that she was obviously waiting for her to come back.

The table lamp in the corridor of the apartment shone down, and the back of Matsumoto Hitomi was bright white, and the stars in the sky that were emitting cold starlight were dimmed.

She looked at the disheveled woman in the shadow of the corner, her wet hair and clothes stuck to her body, tears and rain intertwined on her face, blurring her originally delicate face, which was still pretty with the help of makeup. She was like a kitten that had lost its warm nest and didn't know where to go.

It also made Matsumoto Hitomi see herself from ten or twenty years ago.

The woman held an umbrella in one hand and a chain bag slung across her body in the other. She raised her arm and pursed her lips.

Even in summer, the moisture brought by the sudden rain predicted by a typhoon cooled the whole of Tokyo, chilling Hitomi Matsumoto's hands and body, and also chilling her slightly beating hot heart.

Hitomi Matsumoto has no friends.

She never went to kindergarten or received preschool education, so she started from elementary school, then went to a private girls' school for junior high and high school in Tokyo, and finally to Waseda University.

She has never had any female friends and has hardly ever interacted with the opposite sex.

Hitomi Matsumoto has lost the ability to interact normally with others. Her heart has become extremely cold, and ordinary, warm emotions can no longer move her hard and cold heart.

Then at work, Matsumoto Hitomi, who returned to school, met the only female teacher left in the same office, Matsumoto Hitomi, in the workplace.

Because of the unique advantage of being close to the water, and the fact that Miyagawa Lu is more passionate, fierce and swift than Hasegawa Grandma, but her breasts are full, her brain is empty, and her nerves are so thick that she can't even understand the hidden meaning in the words. She almost opens her heart and is in a defenseless state, which surprises Matsumoto Hitomi and... finds it hard to resist.

She couldn't resist the temptation and tried to respond to Miyakawa Lu's enthusiasm and expectations, and got her first and currently only good friend.

Since they were friends, Matsumoto Hitomi chose to believe Miyagawa Lu and stood in front of her with her back to her defenseless body, blocking all the bad intentions directed at her and giving her a worry-free environment without intrigue.

What puzzled Matsumoto Hitomi at the time was how such an innocent and simple girl as Miyagawa Roshi could survive in Tokyo and the island country where monsters and demons were rampant without being devoured?

Not long after they became friends, Matsumoto Hitomi learned the specific reason from Miyagawa Lu.

It turns out that before she was a senior, Miyakawa Lu had always had three female friends. They had known each other since her freshman year in high school and had been protecting Miyakawa Lu well for six years, also shielding her from all the bad intentions from the outside world.

Miyagawa Lu met them shortly after high school started. Due to their interests, they came together by chance and formed the "Four-Person Bandage" band. She is the bassist of the band. After two years of development and underground performances, the band has become well-known in the high school and the surrounding area.

It's just that later on, because we each had new friends in different universities, and also because we had big disagreements in many aspects such as music and bands, we parted ways, and we haven't been in touch since the breakup...

Miyagawa Lu did not say much in detail about that failed past. She soon changed the subject and took the initiative to introduce to Matsumoto Hitomi her idol, the talented musical girl, the only female singer of the new era in the island country, Shiina Kanade.

It’s just that Matsumoto Hitomi is not interested in the entertainment industry, she just listened to her praises...

And now, standing in the corridor of her rented apartment, looking at Miyagawa Lu, who was cowering like a homeless kitten, and thinking of her deception to herself the day before yesterday, Matsumoto Hitomi just stood under the lamp, looking coldly at her once self-righteous, best friend...

Chapter 259 "Of course I choose to forgive her" and "I am pregnant with his child"

The day before yesterday, June 6st, considering that it was another hot summer, Hitomi Matsumoto wanted to ask Miyagawa Lu to go clothes shopping together.

Last month, I accompanied Ms. Saotome and Ms. Kato to buy clothes in Omotesando. Matsumoto Hitomi and Miyagawa Tsuyu basically just followed behind and looked, and didn't buy any new clothes.

The stores in Omotesando are all international high-end fashion luxury brands or independent designer stores. Any dress, scarf or handkerchief can cost 5 yen.

At present, Hitomi Matsumoto’s monthly salary is enough to cover her expenses, but she doesn’t need to do so. She also wants to buy a small apartment in Tokyo to live in herself.

Her original plan was to buy a 1LDK (one bedroom, one living room, and one kitchen) single apartment, which would be more than enough for her to live in.

According to the current housing prices in Shinjuku and her salary, Hitomi Matsumoto would have to go without food or drink for at least ten years to be able to afford such a small apartment.

If you live frugally, it will take about 20 years.

20 years... Matsumoto Hitomi can still afford to wait. By then, she will still be several years away from 50 years old. She has both the time and the ability.

Having a house and home of her own to soothe her lonely body and mind, no longer wandering on an isolated island in the city without a fixed place to stay, and not having to live under someone else's roof, this is Hitomi Matsumoto's dream.

This is also Miyakawa Lu's dream.

So they had discussed jointly investing to buy a 2LDK (two bedrooms, one living room and one kitchen) apartment.

In this way, even if they live frugally, the two of them will be able to own their own apartment and home in just ten years!

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. When she found out that her best friend had developed feelings for Mr. Kurosawa, who worked in the same office, Matsumoto Hitomi realized that their idea of ​​buying an apartment together would be aborted.

The facts were indeed as she expected. After Miyagawa Lu and Kurosawa Ryosuke officially established a romantic relationship last month, Matsumoto Hitomi could clearly feel that Miyagawa Lu had less contact with her, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that their relationship was cut short.

Hitomi Matsumoto could understand. After all, the beauty was already taken and had a new boyfriend. She needed to divide her time and energy to deal with him, so naturally he couldn't stick to her as much as before.

Knowing how much Miyagawa Lu likes Kurosawa Ryosuke, although Matsumoto Hitomi doesn't understand why she likes such a man, she can understand her behavior.

If she were together with Watanabe Toru, she would probably spend more than 80% of her time accompanying and flirting with Watanabe. It is normal to forget friends for the sake of a man's beauty.

But what Matsumoto Hitomi could not understand or agree with was that Miyagawa Lu would lie to her.

It's not that I can't refuse her invitation to go shopping for clothes, but I shouldn't lie to her by saying "I already have a date plan with Kurosawa, how about tomorrow?"

If Nao Yanagihara hadn't revealed the truth to her - Miyagawa and Kurosawa, as well as Mr. Watanabe and Ms. Noriko, Takahashi and Kato, they went to Hoshimi Haruka's concert together, Matsumoto Hitomi would probably have been kept in the dark by her!

When she heard the news, Hitomi Matsumoto was frying steak for dinner.

She forgot about time and looked at the steak that was grilled like charcoal, and suddenly smiled with relief.

Matsumoto Hitomi seemed to understand the secret of her good friend Miyagawa Lu.

From the subtle rivalry with Ms. Kiko and Saotome at the first tea party to the open falling out with Saotome, Saotome and Ms. Kiko were so close that Matsumoto Hitomi realized that she had probably been excluded from their social circle long ago.

Just like what she experienced when she was studying, she was already accustomed to it.

Looking at the deserted tea party group of five people, no one had spoken for a while. How could Matsumoto Hitomi not guess that they had set up new discussion groups and group chats in private?

Who else could be excluded except her?

Oh yeah, and there's also Hazuki Saotome.

Considering that Miyagawa Lu, Kato Yua and Shimizu Noriko all have boyfriends or fiancés in public, Saotome will definitely be kicked out and won't be able to enter the real core.

Thinking of this, Matsumoto Hitomi laughed so hard that tears were about to come out.

How many group chats and discussion groups are they going to create, just like those bored girls in high school and college who only form cliques and self-righteously isolate those they don't like?

It's... so ridiculous!

However, Matsumoto Hitomi felt hopeless because of Miyagawa Roshi's collusion and aiding and abetting of the evil.

why?

why!

Why……

'Why would you do something to hurt me like this!? '

"You were the one who approached me first, weren't you? You were the one who talked to me, approached me step by step, and wanted to be my friend, weren't you? "

"Now you are afraid that I will overthink things, so you are so arrogant that you are deceiving me with white lies and stabbing me in the back, right?!"
