Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

"Just wait downstairs of the apartment building in forty minutes." After saying that, she hung up the phone and continued to apply moisturizing lotion on her face.

When the agreed time was almost up, she had changed her clothes, put on sunglasses and walked to the door. Hitotsubashi University was quite a distance away from the apartment, so she needed to go out early. When she was holding the door handle, Saki Kawasaki suddenly stopped and looked back as if she had forgotten something. About two minutes later, she put on her high heels mercilessly. Her already tall figure made it even more difficult for ordinary men to approach her. Then she closed the door of the apartment. Inside the apartment, the white shirt hanging on the hanger looked a little wrinkled and kept shaking.

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

Sitting in the passenger seat, Saki Kawasaki took a look at the textbooks that freshmen needed to prepare. She was studying in the Department of Fashion Design and had been preparing for three years in her spare time from work. She finally passed the exam this year. It was not easy.

"Congratulations on your admission to Hitotsubashi University, Ms. Kawasaki, you are really amazing." Assistant Koharu praised while driving.

Hitotsubashi University is a nationally renowned institution of higher learning. Koharu has seen with her own eyes that even though Miss Kawasaki was busy with work, she would always come back in the early morning to review her lessons. This kind of hard work is really amazing. If it were her, she would definitely not be able to persist. You know, her employer is a well-known model, and she has to queue up for notices from the agency every day.

"Thank you." Saki calmly accepted the congratulations. She probably knew what Koharu was lamenting about. In fact, she just didn't want to lose.

After losing once, she no longer wants to try that feeling again.

She is not stupid and is willing to work hard. She did not take the college entrance examination because her family was poor. Not having attended college has become a thorn in her heart, because those two people are graduates of the University of Tokyo. She knows very well that modeling is a job that requires youth, and those who excel in their studies will become officials. With the fashion sense she has cultivated over the years, it is natural for her to develop in the direction of fashion design.

"Remember, don't tell Lord Raikou about my admission for the time being." Saki instructed again.

Koharu is a very good assistant and driver. She is even very skilled and can serve as a half-female bodyguard. Such a versatile person is naturally not something Saki can find. She was arranged by her nominal adoptive mother, Princess Minamoto no Raikou. Of course, there are pros and cons. Occasionally, Koharu will reveal her current situation to the other party.

However, Saki turned a blind eye to such things. After all, she knew that Lord Raikou had no ill intentions. It was just that enrolling in Hitotsubashi University was her own decision, and she didn't want to let others know about it now.

"Okay, I understand." In fact, as long as it does not involve Miss Kawasaki's safety, it doesn't matter whether she reports it or not.

Saki looked at the scenery outside the window and suddenly realized that she had not returned to Chiba for a year. She even stayed in Tokyo during the New Year. On the one hand, she still subconsciously felt that Chiba was the territory of the Yukinoshita family. On the other hand, her adopted mother-daughter relationship with Lord Raiko made her feel a little uncomfortable. She had accepted the relationship out of some stubbornness and unwillingness to admit defeat, but now it seemed a bit childish.

Therefore, she chose to stay away using work as an excuse and never went to the incredibly large palace, although he would come to Tokyo to visit her from time to time.

As expected, there is no cure for the alienation in my bones.

When they arrived at the school gate, Kawasaki Saki put on sunglasses and said to Xiaochun, "I will live in the school and concentrate on my studies during this period. You can come and pick me up when there is a notice."

Xiaochun responded and drove away.

The luggage had already been sent to the school, so she traveled light and walked in with only her handbag.

Compared to the campus full of youthful atmosphere, her neat appearance makes her look more like a teacher than a student.

Indeed, she would probably be the oldest freshman.

With a height of nearly 1.8 meters when wearing high heels, Shahi is the focus of attention wherever she goes. Fortunately, she is wearing sunglasses so she cannot be recognized.

But this bit of luck was soon shattered, because the report required taking off the sunglasses to verify the person.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Saki Kawasaki?"

A freshman asked hesitantly, although she is not a designer, because of this perfect clothes rack she has established good cooperative relationships with many designers, which means that she actually has a high exposure in the circle, especially for those freshmen in the fashion design department who need to keep up with fashion.

"Yes." It was not in Shahi's character to retreat and deny, especially since she was going to study in this school and would be recognized sooner or later.

Soon, she was surrounded by people, which gave her a headache.

She decided to blame everything that happened to her on Hachiman. When she wanted that guy to accompany her to school, he sent her a text message saying that he was going to get married, which made her unable to say anything.

Chapter 4 Chapter

"Do you need help?"

Kato Megumi was holding her child in one hand and carrying luggage in the other. Just when she was worried about not being able to go upstairs alone, a slightly neutral female voice was heard. Kato Megumi slowly turned her head and found a bright woman with aqua blue hair standing behind her.

So high...

The girl's reaction was naturally this. Compared to herself, who was petite at only 160cm tall, the other person had to look up to talk to her. Moreover, at this height, her figure was still round and full, and she was not one of those tall, thin and skinny beauties.

Suddenly, the introverted girl thought of the supermodel who was surrounded by people mentioned by the senior.

"Um... long time no see, Miss Kawasaki?" As for this cousin's former suitor, a girl who seemed to have some previous relationship with Hachiman, Kato Megumi's impression of her was limited to that "painful" dinner.

"Long time no see. How are you, Mr. Kato?" Saki asked softly.

"Keiichi was sent abroad for further studies by the company and he sent me a postcard," said Kato Megumi.

"This child is..." Saki looked at Kato Megumi and was a little surprised that the girl she hadn't seen for only a year suddenly became a mother.

But the two of them only met once.

"This is my daughter, Kato Mei." Because she didn't know what the other party's current relationship with Hachiman was, Kato Megumi didn't dare to reveal Mei's identity.

Saki just nodded. She didn't expect that the baby would be Hachiman's child. She had been in Tokyo all the time and had no interest in finding out about Hachiman's romantic affairs. Then she picked up the leather suitcase with one hand, and it seemed like it was effortless at all, which surprised Kato Megumi.

"How many floors?" asked Shahi. For her, helping a young mother was just a piece of cake.

It's just that this character of not being able to show any satisfaction after doing good things has caused Shaki to suffer a lot, and of course, he hasn't changed much now.

"Dormitory 213 on the second floor." Kato Megumi said politely. It was said to be a three-person dormitory room. She wondered if she could get along with the other two.

Kawasaki Saki tilted her head slightly. Due to her own request, she did not want to live with students from the Fashion Design Department, so she was transferred to another dormitory building, which happened to be...

"Then we'll be roommates for the next three years. Please give me your guidance." Shahi picked up the suitcase and started walking forward.

Kato Megumi looked at the other person with some surprise, and then felt a little relieved. Although the other person seemed difficult to get along with, he was actually a good person.

The two new roommates came to the door of dormitory 213, but found that the door was half-open.

"It seems someone has arrived before us." Shahi said lightly.

"I hope he's someone easy to get along with." Kato Megumi, who brought her child to school, naturally felt a little apologetic towards her roommate.

Shahi gently pushed the door open and a ray of bright sunlight shone on her face. It was a well-lit room, which was good.

Although the apartment that Shaki lives in now is quite expensive, when she first came to Tokyo, she even lived in a damp and dark basement to save money. Therefore, she developed a habit that as long as the room has plenty of sunlight, Shaki can adapt to other conditions.

As soon as the two entered the dormitory, they saw a black-haired girl wrapped in a headscarf and apron cleaning.

Seeing her two roommates come in at the same time, the black-haired girl was a little surprised, but she still put down the broom and introduced herself: "Hello, I'm Tsurumi Rumi, a freshman in the Department of Economics. Thank you for your guidance in the next three years..."

But when she looked up, she was a little surprised when she saw the tall girl with aqua blue hair: "Are you... Jinghua's sister Miss Shaxi?"

Although they haven't seen each other for many years, Liumei would occasionally see Saki's photos on Jinghua's mobile phone.

Hearing the other party say this, Shaxi recalled for a while and finally remembered who this girl with a familiar face was.

"You are, the little girl from back then." The two of them didn't have much interaction. They had only met a few times and were not familiar with each other. Moreover, that happened several years ago. No wonder Shaki was surprised. Girls really change a lot when they grow up. Now she has grown into a beauty.

"Do you two know each other?" Kato Megumi, who was holding Mei, asked curiously.

"Well, due to some reasons, everything is in the past." Shahi shook his head and didn't want to mention the past.

Liu Mei glanced at her gently. Jinghua has always called Hachiman his brother-in-law. Could this Miss Saki and Hachiman also be...

Keeping the doubts to herself, Liu Mei looked at her second roommate, who was also a heavyweight in a different sense.

She looked at the child with some confusion, and Kato Megumi took the initiative to say, "This is my daughter, Kato Mei. Mei, please say hello to the two sisters."

Although he didn't know why he suddenly changed his surname, the child still exclaimed happily "Ah" when he heard his mother calling him.

Liu Mei pursed her lips. She had the same curiosity as Shaki, but it was not appropriate to ask too many questions since they had just met.

"Come to think of it, Tsurumi and I are in the same department, and Kawasaki is in the fashion design department." Kato Megumi said.

Rumi nodded gently, "Please give me more guidance in the future, Kato-san and Kawasaki-san."

She is the youngest among the three.

Although the three of them had a good impression of each other, they were not too close to each other. None of them were social phobics. If Hachiman were here, he would probably say that they were just three dullards hanging out together.

Since they are not familiar with the campus yet, they should clean the dormitory first. Saki, who is dressed very fashionably, also took the initiative to pick up the broom. Just when Kato Megumi wanted to help, Saki said, "You should take the child to familiarize herself with the campus first. There will be too much dust when cleaning, which is not good for her."

Liu Mei beside her also nodded, and Kato Hui did not refuse the other party's kindness, so she said: "Then, let's go out for dinner tonight, and I will treat you."

Kato Megumi looked at Mei and said in her heart, That’s great, Mei, we met two very good roommates.

The original doubts were swept away. The other two did not mind her bringing her child to stay with her, which slightly alleviated Hachiman's feeling of not being able to accompany her to school.

After Kato Megumi left, Saki and Rumi cleaned silently and seriously. Standing on the balcony, looking at the bright sunshine, a trace of sadness appeared on their faces.

Although she told her parents that it was okay for her to go to school alone, and that was indeed the case, she couldn't even get through to the person she wanted to accompany her.

That idiot...she cursed softly in her heart.

Chapter 5 Chapter

For some unknown reason, Hikigaya Hachiman suddenly disappeared. Not only did he miss Kato Megumi's entrance ceremony, but even Tsurumi Rumi couldn't contact him.

Of course, he wouldn't know that Saki Kawasaki secretly went to college in order to catch up with him.

After cleaning the balcony, Liu Mei looked into the living room and saw Saki Kawasaki, who was dressed as dazzlingly as a big star, taking off her high heels and walking barefoot on the slightly dusty floor, carefully wiping the table with a rag. Her movements looked very skillful.

The girl tilted her head slightly, feeling that without the gorgeous appearance, the other person's temperament would be unexpectedly... simple?

Liu Mei shook her head slightly. She had something more important to ask the other party.

"Um...Ms. Kawasaki." She was standing on the balcony, her voice a little awkward.

Hearing the voice of "junior", Shaxi raised his head: "What's wrong?"

"Do you still remember Hikigaya Hachiman-kun, Miss Kawasaki's high school classmate?"

Shahi looked a little strange after hearing this, but still nodded.

"I heard that Jinghua often calls Hikigaya-kun...brother-in-law, so you and him..." the girl said courageously.

Shashi scratched her hair, an action that made her look a little boyish.

"Well, what kind of relationship can I have with a man who is about to get married?" she said a little unhappily.

"......You know that too?" Liu Mei pursed her lips.

A piece of news that was not surprising, in a certain circle, was like a small stone thrown into a lake, slowly leaving ripples.

"Well, after all, I was a high school classmate of Yukinoshita's. As for Kyoka, that guy just likes to yell. I admit that I had some relationship with Hikigaya in high school, which caused my sister to misunderstand, but that was a long time ago."

Saki said bluntly that she didn't want people to know about her relationship with Hachiman, especially in front of strangers. If it got out, it would cause a lot of trouble.

"Why do you ask?" she asked suspiciously.

"I'm just a little curious. After all, I'm friends with Jinghua." Hearing Saki's answer, Rumi seemed relieved.

It’s okay, it’s okay, the girl thought.

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

In a family restaurant near the campus, three people who had just become roommates were sitting in a corner of the restaurant. As the school had just started, there were many freshmen eating here, so it was quite lively.

Although Shahi did not wear sunglasses, she changed into a light ink-colored sportswear and tied her light blue hair into a high ponytail, which made her look very neat. More importantly, at this time she looked more like a young teacher than a supermodel.

Kato Megumi had just changed Mei's diaper. Unlike the other two roommates who traveled light, the young mother always brought a large mommy bag with Mei's things when she went out.

However, on the way here, Liumei took the initiative to take Xiaohui's mother's bag.

If Xiaohui were alone, she would look a little embarrassed.

Compared to Saki, Kato Megumi is eye-catching in another sense. After all, it is quite rare for freshmen to bring their children to school, and they are not graduate students.

Saki looked at Kato Megumi who was coaxing the child in her arms. The child seemed to habitually nuzzle into his mother's chest. It was not because he was hungry, after all, he had just been fed. It was just the child's nature. However, the young mother still felt a little embarrassed in public.

Saki didn't have a very deep impression of Kato Megumi, whom she had only met once, but she still remembered the boy of the same age who was wearing glasses and sitting next to her at that time.

He must be the father of the child, Shashi thought.

Although she was a little surprised that they had a child at such a young age, this kind of pure life together as a couple for the rest of their lives had always been her dream.

She narrowed her eyes slightly. If Yukino had not gone on a hunger strike, and Hachiman had come to Tokyo with her, perhaps she would have become a young mother like Kato Megumi now. Even without so much honor and wealth, she thought she would be very happy.

But these are just wishful thinking. If you miss it, you miss it. She is not dissatisfied with her current life, well, except that guy is getting married.

Not long after, the dishes came up one after another. The three of them didn't talk much, but the atmosphere was very good. Shahi drank a little red wine and got excited, so he asked a question that was a bit inappropriate.

"Kato-san, can I ask about Mei's father?... Well, it's okay if you don't want to answer."

In fact, Shahi felt a little regretful when she was asked halfway. She was not a nosy person and she knew that since the child's father did not show up on such a day, there must be some reasons that he could not tell others.

It could be a breakup or some unexpected event, there are many bad possibilities.

Hearing this question, Tsurumi Rumi also put down her chopsticks and looked at Kato Megumi with some curiosity.

The girl who was eating fried rice in small bites had some changes on her face. Her originally calm cheeks seemed to be slightly bulging because of anger, which surprised Saki and Rumi.

At this moment, the cell phone in Kato Megumi's pocket rang. After she took it out, she found that it was Hachiman calling. After feeling relieved for a moment, the disappointment of being stood up came back. She rarely showed her temper and pressed the hang-up button.

"in argument."

The girl's mother put the phone back in a huff. Their first impression of Xiaohui was that she was a gentle and quiet girl with few expressions. But now, her slightly puffed cheeks gave her a cute girlish feeling, revealing the girlish qualities that were hidden by her identity as a mother.
