Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

Hachiman was startled, and saw that the train had begun to close its doors as a warning. He didn't care about the two girls and hurried into the car. However, when he entered the narrow car, the two girls behind him also squeezed in.

When he turned around, Akane Shinjo was on top of her like a doll: "Waaaaaaa."

He was so scared that he screamed out loud, and as a result, everyone in the car was looking at him, making him wish he could find a hole to crawl into.

"Hahaha, it's because you're always so funny, uncle, that I can't bear to leave you."

Chapter 25: Play within a play, Part 2: Playing Cards

The tram started slowly. The passenger capacity of the trams in Neon during rush hour was well-deserved. Although it was unbearable at other times, it was the first time that I felt as uncomfortable as today.

"I...I promised Rumi-chan that I wouldn't go see you guys again." Hachiman reiterated in the crowded train, but ended up with his whole body pressed on Shinjo Akane.

Under normal circumstances, other girls would at least protect their chests and he would try his best to push back, but Akane Shinjo did not dodge and instead hugged his waist, with her soft and plump breasts pressed tightly against his chest.

Akane Shinjo's fingers gently stroked his chest, and her bright red lips approached his ear: "But if we take the initiative to come to see you, wouldn't it be a violation of the class monitor's rules?"

Suddenly, Hachiman's body stiffened. It seemed that what he said made sense.

No, no, what on earth am I thinking about?

But suddenly, the train braked urgently and Hachiman was pushed up again involuntarily.

He couldn't help but look at Xin Tiao Qian's eyes which were gradually becoming moist, feeling a little uncomfortable: "Aren't you supposed to go to school?"

"I'm so bored, I'm skipping class to play with you."

Then the girl whispered in his ear: "Uncle, you still say you don't miss me? Your body betrays you."

There was a devilish mockery in her cunning eyes, and Hachiman had a bad feeling.

.................................

About ten minutes later, Hachiman, with lifeless eyes, got off the train, along with the two girls.

He squatted on the ground, regretting what he had done on the train when he was clearly on his way to work.

He crouched down with his head in his hands in distress.

Xinjo Akane licked her fingers gently and looked at the middle-aged man happily.

Takarada Rikka pushed her forward and said, "Come on, Akane, let's go to the bathroom and get ready."

"Okay, hehe, and uncle~ you can't run away without permission~"

Suddenly, Akane Shinjo kissed him on the cheek, and Hachiman was so frightened that he quickly looked around to see if there were any of his colleagues nearby.

Ah, what on earth am I doing? How can I explain to Liu Mei-chan?

If Rumi-chan is an angel, then Akane Shinjo is the devil who comes to destroy his peaceful life so far.

No, perhaps what he could not accept the most was that although Akane Shinjo and Rikka Takanae might be like this to every "father", their enthusiasm would make the idiot me mistakenly believe that they would only be like this to him.

"No, we can't let them lead us by the nose anymore. Today, we have a project meeting to start."

Hachiman stood up with all his strength, as if he wanted to get his life back on track.

As long as I leave here and return to the company, I believe the two girls will not run into the company, not to mention that they don’t even know where they work.

Just when he was about to take a step forward, the train behind him arrived at the station and started moving, and white-collar workers poured out like leeks.

Their faces showed either numbness from staring at their phones or anxiety from being late, as if there was something wrong with their retinas. He suddenly felt that the world was gray and black.

People become numb and turn gray because they have not seen more vivid colors. Conversely, once they have seen more vivid colors, can they continue to be numb?

Is he an idiot? When would he, a mere worker ant, be qualified to consider such philosophical questions?

Uncle~ You can't run away without permission~

That playful voice like a little devil suddenly sounded in his mind, and then he could no longer move.

He knew that he was probably completely captured.

Even though I know that in their eyes, I am just a convenient ATM.

"Ah, the uncle is really waiting for us, Rikka-chan."

Just at this moment, two girls appeared in front of him.

"Maybe it's because Xiao Qian was too shy just now, so I can't walk anymore."

Rika-chan, who is half a head taller than Akane Shinjo, has a model figure but a big butt, said with a smile.

Shinjo Akane laughed and took Hachiman's hand, as if she was planning to leave the train station.

"Hey, where are you going?" he said nervously.

"It's a rare opportunity for me to skip classes, so of course I have to have fun."

Akane Shinjo took Hachiman's hand, and her laughter was as clear as a silver bell. More importantly, Hachiman felt the feeling of being "alive" from them for the first time in a long time.

"I...I haven't asked for leave from the company yet." Hachiman said quickly.

"Wouldn't that just let the people in the company know how much trouble it would be if they lost you?"

Akane Shinjo easily came up with reasons that could convince him.

That day, he went to an amusement park, KTV and video game arcade with two high school girls, and did not return home until the next morning. He lied to Liu Mei-chan and said that he had spent the night at his senior's house.

.......................................

April 7st

I opened this new document to urge myself to be self-disciplined in the future. I can no longer let my temper run wild and play with them. I should finish the work at hand first, and then spend more time with Liu Mei-chan.

April 7st

When playing with JK, Xin Tiao Qian wore a black silk COS costume. I heard that she was a game character called Keqing. I don’t know much about it as I don’t play mobile games, but she is so awesome.

April 7st

Playing with JK, the milk of the coconut sheep is so delicious.

April 7st

Playing cards is so exciting. Fortunately, I wore two more layers of clothes.

April 7st

Hikigaya Hachiman, oh Hikigaya Hachiman! How could you be so depraved! Have you forgotten the self-discipline plan you set earlier? Confucius said: "I examine myself three times a day." ... I can't go on like this!

April 7st

Playing with JK, Rikka-chan is so nice.

April 7st

Backache.

April 7st

Hikigaya Hachiman, oh Hikigaya Hachiman, you are really hopeless. Are you worthy of your deceased wife?

April 7st

Nothing to do, play with JK.

April 7st

Develop a good relationship with Liu Mei-chan, she is so cute.

April 7st

Backache

.................................

Hachiman couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the document on his phone. He had a deeper understanding of how cowardly he was as a human being.

However, it is not entirely without good things happening. As Xin Tiao Qian said, once a hardworking old ox who has worked diligently for more than ten years gives up, the consequences will be more serious than imagined.

Although the company was not paralyzed, the efficiency of project progress was greatly reduced.

For this, he inexplicably received an extra month's bonus and a 20% salary increase, which made him, who had been diligent in the past, seem like an idiot.

"Section Chief, have you been different recently? I feel like you've become a little more handsome."

Perhaps because he has been hanging out with JK frequently recently, he has unconsciously paid more attention to his image, and has inexplicably received praise from girls. You know, in the past, the company basically excluded married old men with children like him from gender topics.

How should I put it, I originally thought that his life would collapse because of those two JKs, but in the end, apart from a slight back pain, everything turned out to be for the better.

JK Saigao.

Today, he spent an hour setting up the framework of the plan, and then threw it all to his subordinates to fill in the content, and left work at exactly six o'clock.

Seeing his colleagues looking at him in a somewhat strange way, he knew that there was a rumor circulating in the company recently that he had remarried.

It seems that it is not entirely a rumor. He got off work on time today because he had a date with them.

But when I left the company, I encountered a fine spring rain falling like hair, and the whole street was made hazy and blurred by the neon lights and the scattered rain.

He opened his black umbrella and came to the agreed station, but he only saw a girl wearing a brown scarf.

She looked up at the sky, as if she would escape from this bustling earthly prison at any time.

Cold and pure, this is the feeling she gives people.

"Rikka-chan?" Hachiman drove his car and broke into her "ZONE".

The girl holding her school bag in both hands seemed to be waiting for her lover. When she heard Hachiman's call, her smile was a little lonely.

"Can you just be with me today?"

Chapter 26: A Play Within a Play, Part 2: "Because I Like You"

The hazy rain is like a pure girl. The raindrops hit the glass. The water droplets condensed on the glass slide down and wipe away the mist on the glass.

Looking at the lonely Takarada Rikka, Hachiman hurriedly ran up to her, took out a handkerchief to wipe the water droplets on her face and hair, and used an umbrella to shield her.

"A grown man still wears a handkerchief." Takarada Rikka's eyes began to focus, looking at the somewhat cowardly man.

Only then did Hachiman feel that this action was a bit "offensive", even though they had been in close contact many times during this period.

But to be honest, he was a little afraid of Rikka-chan, whose thoughts were hard to guess.

It's probably the inferiority complex that ordinary men naturally display towards beautiful and fashionable women.

It's interesting to think that even though you have a closer relationship, wiping the water stains for the other person still feels offensive.

"Ah, when Rumi-chan was little she used to drool a lot, so naturally I got into the habit of bringing a handkerchief to wipe her mouth. Even when my daughter grew up, the habit stayed with her."

Hachiman placed the handkerchief in Rikka-chan's hand and said with a smile that showed some nostalgia.

"Did that monitor.....drool often when he was a kid?"

Liuhua said with a little surprise. After all, American students are always like the dean of discipline in school, upright, rigid and full of defense.

"Yeah, it's very cute. If you're interested, I can bring you the album."

The girl unceremoniously wiped her hair and cheeks with a handkerchief, revealing a slightly vexing smile.

"Hey, uncle, you are using your daughter's photo to flirt with her classmates."

Although she is not like the little devil of Akane Shinjo, when the two are together, Akane Shinjo is mostly silent, but occasionally she will reveal these S-like jokes.

"I...I didn't mean that."

Compared to Akane Shinjo, who has a devilish but approachable personality, Rikka, who is a bit like a high-class flower, doesn't know how to get close to her.

Takarada Rikka put the handkerchief in her pocket and exhaled gently, which turned into white mist rising up: "It's so cold..."

Her voice sounded like a whisper, and it was unclear who she was talking to.

"I......."

For some reason, looking at such a girl, Hachiman's heart was filled with pity, but he was too impulsive to control himself.

He took a step forward and held Rikka in his arms, gently stroking the girl's still slightly wet hair.

"I, don't know what happened to Rikka-chan, you can tell me if you want."

Being suddenly hugged in someone's arms, Rika, who was originally a little angry, couldn't help laughing when she saw the uncle's timid look and gritted teeth as he tried to finish what he said.

"Uncle, has anyone ever told you that although you are usually very timid, you are very stubborn when you shouldn't do something."

Really? It seemed that someone had indeed said that about him. After all, because of a promise, he raised an abandoned baby who had no blood relationship with her as his own daughter until she was so old.

After a while, Liuhua-chan whispered, "Today is Xiaoqian's birthday."
