I have bound two systems.

"Why do I remember that there was..."

"That time you went back to your hometown for a while."

"right……"

"Business has really improved recently."

Ijichi Xingge smiled slightly, and her toes raised under the table swayed slightly with the amplitude of her body.

Shizuka Hiratsuka took the wet wipes and wiped her hands, then looked down at the drink menu to hide her panic.

"It's all thanks to you."

She knew about her old friend's professional relationship with Chisato Suzumiya, and understood that she would be aware of the company's purchase of annual party prizes, so she pointed it out directly.

"It has nothing to do with me. I just told Suzumiya about your recent situation, and then he decided to go to you to buy. But it's also good. It's better to buy from you than from others. If you feel embarrassed, you can lower the price. But be careful not to lower the price too much. This guy is now worth over 100 million yuan, so he doesn't need that little money. You have to make some money."

What is a long-time friend? This is a long-time friend!

Ichichi Hoshige's words are enough to explain this.

However, after hearing her words, Shizuka Hiratsuka felt even more guilty and uneasy. But logically speaking, she should not have such emotions, because in fact, there was no special relationship between her friend and Chisato Suzumiya. They were just superiors and subordinates with a good relationship, and at most a close friend regardless of age difference.

But the strange thing is that Shizuka Hiratsuka has never been able to honestly tell her about her current relationship with Chisato Suzumiya. There is no specific reason for this, it's just that there is a very elusive feeling.

I always feel that if such a relationship is exposed, it will lead to serious consequences.

So... at this stage, let's keep it secret.

After all, she had agreed with that guy that they were just friends who got what they wanted from each other. Maybe after a while, the two of them would be satisfied with this kind of relationship, or get bored, and then naturally end it. After that, she could pretend nothing happened and everything would be calm again... Well... The possibility is very small, but it cannot be ruled out.

But the unintentional words that followed from Ijichi Hoshika made Hiratsuka Shizuka's heart stop for a moment.

"But to be honest, although you are busy with work, your complexion has improved a lot."

“Eh! Is there…is there?”

"Well, it's delicate, ruddy, and shiny, and..."

Ichichi Xingge stood up deliberately, leaned forward and sniffed towards his friend.

Shizuka Hiratsuka subconsciously stepped back, her back pressing against the chair.

"Um... I mean Xingge..."

"Don't talk yet, and don't hide."

"..."

"Hmm... Hmm, for the first time ever, I don't smell of nicotine today. That's rare."

"..."

So this is what you were talking about.

Shizuka Hiratsuka breathed a sigh of relief. She originally thought that she was tainted with some scent related to Chisato Suzumiya, which was why her friend noticed the abnormality.

Sure enough, it wasn't that outrageous. Although Xingge used to work as a bartender and was sensitive to smells, he didn't have a dog's nose after all, so how could he capture smells in such detail?

"I didn't smoke today."

"Are you planning to quit smoking again?"

"...So be it."

The reason why I say "sort of" is because the fact that Shizuka Hiratsuka is quitting smoking now is the result of external interference.

Just thinking about her makes me angry.

Generally speaking, there will be friends who interfere with their partner's lifestyle!

Not only were all the lighters and cigarettes in the house thrown away, but I had secretly tried to smoke one before he came over some time ago, and then I frantically brushed my teeth to try to get rid of the remaining smell, but he still found me and threw me on the bed and bullied me all night!

That night she even felt that she would not be able to see the sun the next day, and that was not an exaggeration at all!

But to be honest... although Shizuka Hiratsuka felt a little uncomfortable and irritated about quitting smoking at the beginning, gradually as time passed, she seemed to be able to consciously stop touching cigarettes without the need for Chisato Suzumiya's special instructions and supervision.

Sometimes I would want to smoke a cigarette, but I could replace it with other ways, such as kissing... or eating something else...

"Why are you blushing?"

Ijichi Hoshika looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka who had entered a daze for no reason and asked in confusion.

"Ah?... It's very hot outside, and I hurried over here."

Hiratsuka Shizuka pretended to fan herself with her hands.

"Yeah, I always feel like you're weird."

Ijichi Hoshika looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka suspiciously, but she didn't continue talking about this topic.

"I'm free this weekend, and summer is coming, so let's go to the mall and buy some clothes..."

The time after that was filled with casual chats between the women.

----

As the saying goes, if there is one, there will be two, and if there is two, there will be three.

After Chisato Suzumiya successfully reached base with Shizuka Hiratsuka in Kagoshima, leaving her with a deep impression that night.

Not long after, he rekindled his previous contact with her, letting her invite him herself and letting him take the initiative to carry her into her boudoir.

From then on, the relationship between Chisato Suzumiya and Miss Hiratsuka became much simpler and clearer.

Although Shizuka Hiratsuka unilaterally announced that their current relationship was just a mutual benefit between adults after the explosion of hormones, Chisato Suzumiya did not take her words to heart at all.

In every daily life with her, I treat her as the important other half of my life.

It is not just the physical interaction during passionate moments, but also the care and arrangement from all aspects of life.

It goes without saying that I had to persuade her to drink in moderation, use "rough" methods to help her get rid of her nicotine addiction, and arrange a regular diet for her on a daily basis.

Chisato Suzumiya also secretly used her connections to expand the sales circle for Shizuka Hiratsuka's business.

How could Shizuka Hiratsuka, who had never had a boyfriend in her life for nearly thirty years, resist his all-pervasive offensive around her?

Limited by what she called the kind of adult relationship where there is no emotion but only physicality, she never expressed her emotions verbally, but after turning off the lights, her body's desire for kisses and hugs was quite honest, even hungry.

When she woke up in the morning, her overly infatuated and reluctant request for a hug was undoubtedly the behavior of a little girl who had fallen in love.

Even though she would think about it later when she came to her senses and covered her red cheeks, thinking that she was just an idiot who was no more than ten years old, the next time they met again, a similar situation would still happen, and the heated situation would change progressively depending on how long they had not seen each other.

Good news, Jing is too cute.

The bad news is that recently because his attention has been focused on Shizuka Hiratsuka, some people who lack company have become upset.

It's not the Yukinoshita sisters, but because of her work in the political arena, Chisato Suzumiya has many opportunities to interact with them.

It's not Eriri or Kasumigaoka. No matter who he forgets, Chisato Suzumiya will never forget them. They are his beloved ones who have been with him since the beginning. Even if he is very busy now, he will definitely take out two days or more every week to have dinner and spend the night with them.

As for Touma Kazusa, she is currently participating in a famous piano competition abroad accompanied by her mother. She has other arrangements after the competition and will not be able to return for another month.

So the only ones left are those two.

Finishing off the band are Ichiri Goto and Ryo Yamada.

Goto Ichiri was fine. Although she felt that Suzumiya Chisato had less contact with her recently, she was able to understand him. She was just sad in her heart and did not express it.

But as for Yamada Ryo, after several unsuccessful attempts to harass Suzumiya Chisato via text messages, she was obviously a little depressed.

Although she herself had decided on the identity of the lover who could not be seen in public, even if he was a lover, she couldn't just leave him alone like this. She needed to show him some care, right?

For a few nights, Yamada Ryo watched Suzumiya Chisato send her bland replies to the seductive selfies she deliberately sent him, and she even doubted whether she was no longer attractive to him, and for the first time she had negative thoughts about her body curves.

After taking a shower, she just turned her body in front of the mirror without putting on clothes. Compared with the other members of her team, Hong Xia and Yu Dai, who were ordinary in high school, have now made significant progress after entering society...

Even though it wasn't much, just the level of frying an egg to the size of a Big Apple...but I've been standing still all the time, with no progress at all.

Both my height and weight have increased, so why is it that the most important part hasn't changed?

The evening after the photo shoot for the new album cover was completed.

Yamada Ryo called back to ask his mother, who had a good figure, why this happened. His mother remained silent on the other end of the phone. Yamada Ryo heard the other party make a strange "mmm" sound, and imagined the other party covering her mouth with her hands, but he didn't know whether she was sad for her daughter or laughing secretly...

Yamada Ryo felt that the latter possibility was more likely.

All in all, the answer her mother finally gave was to let her go talk to her boyfriend.

Yes, although other people didn't know, as a mother, Yamada could still detect the subtle relationship between her daughter and her president through some clues in her daughter's daily life.

Although neither of them has admitted it, it doesn't matter. Mother Yamada was very bold in love and hate when she was young. She was very open and free, and would not restrict her children from interacting with anyone.

Besides, she had met Suzumiya Chisato many times, and he was not the kind of greasy middle-aged man with a big belly. He was handsome, polite and spoke well. From a practical perspective, his financial ability was also perfect. She really had no reason to object.

Back to Yamada Ryo, after hanging up the phone with her mother, her melancholy mood increased instead of decreased.

As expected, a term such as "deep love between mother and daughter" which is used all over the world is completely inapplicable to her.

But the suggestion she made seems to be true...

Alone in the room, leaning against the head of the bed and touching his flat belly, Yamada Ryo felt more and more indignant the more he thought about it. He typed a message on his phone and sent it to Suzumiya Chisato.

[If you don't put in effort regularly, it won't get any better! ]

Chisato Suzumiya is outside having dinner with Mr. Yukinoshita and other politicians.

Noticing his cell phone vibrating, he calmly took it out to check, and then looked confused.

No, what does Liang mean by this?

Sent to the wrong person?

Before he could understand the current situation, another message came over.

[If you don't come to see me again, I will cheat on you. ]

Chisato Suzumiya: “???”

what? !

[That's right, I've decided. If you don't come to see me today, I'll go raid Pochi-chan at night and put a hat on your head... no, two hats.]

"..."

"Suzumiya-kun, let's have a drink."

"Mr. Onoue, I should be the one to toast you."

Just when Chisato Suzumiya was having a brain short circuit due to Yamada Ryo's series of remarks, the dinner party happened to start toasting, and he had no choice but to put the message on his phone aside for the time being.

However, in the middle of the dinner, he thought about it and realized that due to work and other reasons, he seemed to have neglected Yamada Ryo and Goto Ichiri recently.

So he found a gap at the dinner party and replied to Yamada Ryo that he would go to see her tonight, but it would be a little later.

After all, the connections and exchanges between politicians are very in-depth. After finishing the meal here, we will go to the club in Ginza to sit for a while. Who knows when it will end.

However, Ryo Yamada was still very happy to get the guarantee.

As expected, the naughty children get the candies. I should have done this a long time ago, so I wouldn't have to endure so much pain during this period of time.

Yamada Ryo couldn't help but reflect on this to himself.

But she was open-minded and soon stopped taking the matter to heart. She got out of bed humming a song, preparing to tell Goto Ichiri the good news.

But after getting out of bed, her mind changed again.

Humans are selfish creatures. It has been more than a month since Yamada Ryo and Suzumiya Chisato were alone. Wanting to eat by himself, after some consideration, he decided that it would be better not to tell her tonight.

Let me bear the "suffering" tonight. If there is a chance later, I will give Pochi-chan another chance to spend time with each other.

After making up his mind, Yamada Ryo's guilt suddenly disappeared a lot and he felt at ease.

Not long after, Ijichi Hijiri, Natsuki Ikuyo and Goto Ichiri knocked on the door and called her over, making an appointment to have dinner at the hotel restaurant.

Chapter 52: Surprise Activities in Secret (Two in One)

The four members who have ended the band today are much more famous and discussed than when they first debuted in high school.

Therefore, if they travel together now, they will choose to do basic covering, such as wearing hats, masks or sunglasses to cover their own features, so as to blend into the crowd and avoid being recognized. This protective measure has almost become their instinctive behavior before going out over the years, to prevent someone from taking unscrupulous photos or being harassed by fanatical fans.

From the very beginning, Suzumiya Chisato had told them to be more careful about these things, but except for Kita Ikuyo who had a stalker experience, the others didn't pay much attention to it and didn't take it seriously.

It can only be said that people cannot teach people, but things that teach people are more impressive.

Ever since they were recognized while shopping in the city center mall during their freshman year of college, causing the mall entrance to be blocked by fans and some people were even pushed and injured, they have become somewhat aware of being celebrities.
