I have bound two systems.

"Suzumiya, thank you for everything you did for me today, but I really don't need... um..."

She was not given a chance to continue.

Under her gaze, Suzumiya Chisato slowly approached, finally stretched out her right hand to hold the back of her head, and leaned forward to kiss her lips.

“Squeak—squeak!”

Although it was just a kiss that lasted only a moment, Shizuka Hiratsuka still broke it in an instant.

There seemed to be circles rolling in his eyes, and there seemed to be a jet sound on his head similar to that of an old-fashioned train.

Sometimes, a simple action is worth more than a thousand words.

Chisato Suzumiya expressed her attitude and thoughts, which Shizuka Hiratsuka was unable to accept at first, but her reaction was quite hilarious.

Although she is a beautiful and independent urban woman, her reaction when facing emotional issues is even more immature than that of Eriri and Shiyu.

Chisato Suzumiya was touched by her cuteness. Just when she was about to kiss her again, Shizuka Hiratsuka had already shrank back into the quilt and buried herself tightly in it, not giving him any chance.

In this regard, Suzumiya Chisato no longer insisted. One should not be too impatient about anything. Everything that should be done today had been done. After saying goodbye softly, he turned around and left the Hiratsuka family.

At this moment, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.

That night, Shizuka Hiratsuka curled up in her little nest, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

She touched her lips lightly with her fingers, and the experience of that night in Kagoshima kept replaying in her mind, continuing to wash away her shame.

The next day, Chisato Suzumiya arrived at about the same time as expected.

Because she had been reminded in advance, Shizuka Hiratsuka was not too surprised, but she was definitely still nervous. After all, his sudden kiss yesterday still made her blush when she thought about it.

After a day's rest yesterday, her fever had subsided, but the sequelae of the fever, coughing and weakness in the limbs, still existed.

However, the most serious problem has been eliminated, and the remaining symptoms will surely subside over time.

The food in the refrigerator was almost finished, so Chisato Suzumiya rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen again.

Shizuka Hiratsuka wanted to help, but as usual she was refused with the reason that "the patient needs to rest".

The second day was normal. Compared to the first day when Hiratsuka Shizuka was at her worst, there was not much that Chisato Suzumiya could do today.

But even so, after quickly finishing the meal, he pretended not to understand the implicit hint from Shizuka Hiratsuka that she wanted him to leave early, and he lingered until late at night before leaving.

The same thing happened on the third day. Shizuka Hiratsuka was in good physical condition, so she had almost recovered. Although she still had some minor symptoms, at least she no longer needed extra care from others.

She thought that she had defended well in the past few days, and Chisato Suzumiya should have no reason to come again in the future.

But by thinking this, she obviously underestimated Chisato Suzumiya and his determination to seize the hard-won opportunity.

"Congratulations, you seem to have almost recovered."

That night, Suzumiya Chisato held a bowl of rice in her hand and ate dinner with Hiratsuka Shizuka at the dining table.

He finished his work earlier today, so he came much earlier than the previous two days. It was just in time for him to come and have dinner with Shizuka Hiratsuka after the meal was ready.

As for Shizuka Hiratsuka's own opinion on the matter... that's not important. Even if she felt something was wrong and said it out loud, it wouldn't help.

After all, similar things have happened many times in the past few days, and each time her request was always refuted by the other party with some arguments that sounded like they were true.

Since she knew that her ideas would be refuted in the end and the status quo would be maintained, there seemed no need for her to struggle.

Shizuka Hiratsuka never expected that the sweet life of living together with her boyfriend, which she had dreamed of since graduating from college, would unfold in this way.

Although Chisato Suzumiya is not her boyfriend, they do not really live together.

But isn’t their current situation similar?

Hiratsuka Shizuka's mind was filled with a lot of chaotic thoughts, but she still responded verbally.

"Well, thanks to you."

"Indeed, I also think I took good care of him."

Chisato Suzumiya took credit for herself without any hesitation, which surprised Shizuka Hiratsuka a little. This was not something that was out of her character.

She sensed something was wrong, but as the other party spoke the next sentence, she quickly understood his purpose.

"So since it's all thanks to me, and I've worked so hard these days, Ms. Hiratsuka should think about how to thank me later."

"...!"

coming!

The alarm bells in Shizuka Hiratsuka's heart rang loudly, and the first thing she thought of was that day in Kagoshima, the night when she and Chisato Suzumiya were very happy with each other due to a strange coincidence.

He took such good care of me when I was sick, and the premise of doing all this was because he wanted to make such a request the moment he recovered! ?

Hiratsuka Shizuka's face was flushed. In her sight, Suzumiya Chisato's gentle smile at the moment was also showing a tendency to turn into an evil direction.

"How do you want me to thank you?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka put down her bowl and chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and stared at the other person closely.

She had already made up her mind that if he really dared to make those excessive requests and regarded her as the kind of woman who would easily sacrifice herself for the slightest favor from others, then she would mercilessly make him taste the iron fist of justice.

But what Chisato Suzumiya did next left her speechless once again.

He took out two movie tickets from his pocket.

"It just so happens that someone gave me two tickets. I don't want to waste them and I can't find a companion, so if Ms. Hiratsuka is free, please go with me."

"…What movie is it?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka took a long time to come up with this sentence.

"Godzilla vs. Kong 2. I heard there are a lot of cool and gorgeous scenes. It's worth watching."

"Watching a movie... It's not impossible, but I've been resting at home these days and have a lot of work piled up. I probably won't have time for a while, so maybe..."

"I won't officially start working until tomorrow, right?"

"Ah, yes..."

"What time do you go to work tomorrow?"

"nine in the morning."

"Well, that's about the same time. The movie starts at 8:30 p.m., so if we leave now, we'll be able to catch it. It ends around 11 p.m., so it shouldn't affect your rest at night."

Suzumiya Chisato looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka with a smile.

He was very deliberate and had planned everything out before coming here today, blocking all her escape routes.

…………

Chapter 50: Lifelong Friendship (Two in One)

Being fooled was the first feeling that came to Shizuka Hiratsuka's mind at this moment.

The time is now 8:40 in the evening and the two have arrived at the cinema.

It’s just that there’s something wrong with this cinema right now.

From the moment they came in and sat down, Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't see anyone else except them.

But the problem is that it is not late at night at this time. When I arrived, the lobby of the cinema was crowded with people, and some were queuing up to buy popcorn. But now, during the peak seating time, there is no one there. No matter how you think about it, the current situation is a bit weird.

The situation did not change until the film officially began, and then Shizuka Hiratsuka confirmed one thing.

Any movie tickets given by friends are fake!

This guy probably prepared to book the entire venue long ago!

Wait... If that's the case, then if I don't agree to come today, then all the arrangements he made will be in vain...

Thinking of this, Hiratsuka Shizuka quietly turned her head to glance at Suzumiya Chisato in the dim theater.

The other person stared at the movie screen naturally. His handsome profile made Shizuka Hiratsuka's heart beat faster as she secretly watched him.

This guy is kind of good looking...

She quickly turned her gaze back to the right place, trying to stop herself from thinking too much and slowly calm down.

Halfway through the film, just as Shizuka Hiratsuka was gradually calming down and thinking that her date to the cinema would go smoothly, she noticed that her left hand was covered.

She shuddered all over, but the other party did not intend to let her retreat. He quickly held her hand tightly, and after making sure that she had no chance to escape, he connected their palms.

The touch from her palm was so obvious that Shizuka Hiratsuka lowered her head in a daze, unable to watch the movie on the screen.

Fortunately, Suzumiya Chisato had no intention of taking the next step. After the movie ended and the lights came on, he let go at the right time and sent Hiratsuka Shizuka home safely just like when he came.

"Won't you invite me in for a cup of tea?"

In front of the apartment door, Suzumiya Chisato spoke up, breaking the silence that had been going on for a long time.

On the way back in the car, Shizuka Hiratsuka turned her head to look at the street scene outside the window, pretending to be immersed in it so as not to reveal her thoughts.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was a little flustered. She opened her mouth but didn't know how to answer.

She didn't mind those cups of tea, but the timing was too ambiguous. She couldn't judge and had no confidence to control the course of the situation. What if something happened when they were alone... that would only make the situation more and more complicated.

Come to think of it, I shouldn't have let him hold my hand so securely in the cinema just now! I should have just let him go and there wouldn't be so much trouble!

Afterwards, Shizuka Hiratsuka reflected deeply on herself.

"Forget it, it's really getting late, I'd better not disturb your rest."

Suzumiya Chisato observed the expression on Hiratsuka Shizuka's face and wisely took back her previous words, but before Hiratsuka could completely put his mind at ease, he once again transgressed.

The moonlight was peaceful, quiet and peaceful, with no one to disturb.

Shizuka Hiratsuka opened her eyes wide. She was pushed against the wall and her lips were sealed.

With my body that had just recovered from a serious illness, how could I possibly fight against this guy's physique and strength...

When faced with this situation, Shizuka Hiratsuka once again transformed herself into a delicate girl. None of her fighting skills or her heroic experience of catching a pervert on the train could help her at all at this moment.

She could only allow the other party to gently hold the back of her head and perform any violent and excessive actions on her, while she kept moaning softly.

Finally, Suzumiya Chisato let go. She leaned against the wall in a messy manner, clasped her hands over her chest and gasped for breath. When she came to her senses, she looked up at the other person with an angry expression. She was ready to scold him fiercely for being too much, but the moment their eyes met, she still spinelessly took out the key, opened the door of the apartment, and chose to slip away.

Escaping is shameful but it does work.

Trying her best to hold back her breathing, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked through the cat's eye to see what was happening outside.

Chisato Suzumiya stood outside for about two minutes. After he left, Shizuka Hiratsuka slowly slid down the gate and sat on the ground.

She touched her lips, thinking carefully about the interaction just now. Although she was very resistant at first, she finally became submissive and cooperative under the guidance of the other party.

She was shocked to find that once something started, its direction seemed to no longer be controlled by her will.

On the other side, Chisato Suzumiya took the elevator downstairs, recalling the details of her day with Shizuka Hiratsuka, and smiled silently.

"You don't seem to hate me... Then let's just continue slowly..."

He stared at the ever-changing floor display screen and talked to himself.

The process of getting along with Shizuka Hiratsuka was quite interesting. Everything that happened during this period reminded him of the youthful time in school when he and Kazusa went from being strangers to knowing each other and then falling in love with each other.

Of course, there are many differences. They are both independent individuals and cannot be compared with each other.

Ms. Hiratsuka, although she is older than me and looks mature, she is surprisingly innocent when it comes to love...

In short, now that he knew that she was not opposed to him and even had a good impression of him, he could feel at ease and continue with his future arrangements in the way she liked.

The next day, Shizuka Hiratsuka got up early and washed.

She spent the whole night last night thinking about her relationship with Chisato Suzumiya, and her rational thinking as an adult overwhelmed the throbbing emotions in her heart.

She was ready to devote herself to her work and determined to avoid meeting with Chisato Suzumiya in private unless it was necessary.

She took it for granted that with time, some things would be fixed.

However, her thoughts only lasted for half a day before she was disillusioned.

That afternoon, Chisato Suzumiya showed up in a digital product store opened by Shizuka Hiratsuka with a swagger. She came to her who was tidying up the shelves and greeted her calmly.

The cashier girl at the counter watched with shining eyes as her boss was stunned for a moment and then quickly pulled such a handsome customer into the office nearby. Stars appeared in her eyes and her gossipy mentality arose, so she speculated on the relationship between the two.

With such a big reaction, they are definitely in the passionate love stage.

I go into the office specifically to be in an environment where no one will disturb me, and I definitely want to be intimate with them as if no one is around!

Wow~ I don’t even dare to think too much about it, it’s too sweet!

But at this moment, there was a completely different scene in the small office.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was unusually excited.
