Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

Chizuru frowned slightly, feeling that Kazuya-kun was just being perfunctory with her, but she still cared about him.

"Where are you now? It's snowing outside. Are you okay?"

"I'm at a friend's house right now, it's fine." Kazuya explained.

As expected, Chizuru confirmed her guess. Seeing that Kazuya-kun was fine, she felt relieved.

"that"

Suddenly, they both spoke at the same time, but in the end it was Chizuru who said, "You go first."

After a moment of silence, He Ye continued, "I'm sorry about what happened this afternoon. I was too impulsive. I shouldn't have hit that person, and I shouldn't have said that to you."

When Chizuru heard Kazuya's apology, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Although Kazuya-kun sometimes seemed impulsive, he was not an unreasonable person.

"Well, I forgive you." Chizuru said.

There was a strange silence on the other side for a while, which even made Chizuru feel strange: "Kazuya-kun?"

"Well, today is Christmas Eve." Kazuya on the other end began to speak.

"Yeah, that's right." In fact, originally I was going to spend this Christmas Eve with Kazuya.

Maybe something more like a couple will happen, but that kind of thing would be too much for Chizuru. After all, they are not even a couple yet?

But suddenly, the next moment, Hachiman, who had been sleeping, got up and put his arms around her shoulders.

"Ah, no," Chizuru shouted quickly.

"Yukino Yukino, don't leave me." Hachiman, still intoxicated, shouted.

Then the next moment, Chizuru heard a clicking sound, as if it was the sound of a cell phone taking a photo.

Maybe I heard it wrong, Qianzuru thought to herself.

This guy actually hugged her and called his ex-wife's name. It was really annoying.

But for a moment, she really couldn't push away the heavy Hachiman.

"Chizuru, what's wrong? What happened? Chizuru." Kazuya on the other side said very nervously.

"It's okay, the cat just licked my feet." Chizuru explained quickly. She couldn't tell the truth.

"Yeah, I'm glad you're okay." But inexplicably, Kazuya's voice sounded distorted.

"What's wrong, Kazuya-kun?"

"Well, Chizuru, happy Christmas Eve. I like you. Can you be my girlfriend?" Kazuya said.

Chizuru took a deep breath. She didn't expect to receive a confession from Kazuya-kun at this time.

However, looking at Hachiman next to her, Chizuru suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt towards Kazuya. She actually received Kazuya's confession when she was bringing a man home.

At this moment, Qianhe felt more guilty than happy.

"Well, I promise you." Therefore, Chizuru finally agreed to Kazuya's confession.

If so many unexpected events hadn't happened, she would have accepted Kazuya-kun's confession today.

But even she hadn't expected that this would be the situation when she accepted the other party's confession.

Kazuya was silent for a while, then said: "Well, then you should have a good rest."

This made Chizuru feel a little strange. If it were the usual Kazuya, he would obviously be very proud, but now he seemed to be in a bad mood?

"Yeah, okay." There was always a strange feeling lingering, but Chizuru finally hung up the phone.

The next moment he pushed Hachiman away from him with force and complained, "You are really sinking like hell."

Moreover, she had to accept Kazuya-kun's confession under such circumstances, and she always felt inexplicably guilty, even though she didn't do anything.

Time went forward a little, the cold snow was slowly falling, and Kazuya-kun was standing in front of Chizuru's door, talking on the phone with the girl inside.

Thinking about what would happen between Chizuru and that man in the house, Kazuya felt a tearing pain in his head.

Even though he had fantasized about Chizuru, his rental girlfriend, doing all sorts of things with other men in the past, when it really happened, it was different from what he had imagined and caused him immense pain.

But despite this, he still deeply loves Chizuru.

"Well, today is Christmas Eve," Kazuya said in a hoarse voice, he was wearing different clothes today, the cold wind was blowing against his flesh.

"Well, yes, don't." Suddenly, Chizuru's voice became excited.

"Chizuru, what's wrong? What happened? Chizuru." Kazuya shouted excitedly. It must be that man doing something to Chizuru.

"It's okay, the cat just licked my feet."

Chizuru's explanation made Kazuya's heart bleed. I even need your consent to hold your hand, but can he do that?

"Um, Chizuru, happy Christmas Eve. I like you. Can you be my girlfriend?" Kazuya felt like he was about to cry, but despite this, he still tried to confess because he liked Chizuru.

"Well, I promise you."

Chizuru's answer made Kazuya look up to the sky. It was a time when he should be happy, and Chizuru had clearly accepted his confession, so why did his heart hurt so much now?

Maybe it’s because Chizuru is in another man’s arms at the moment.

Chapter 15: It's just the master's task

In the early morning, the sleeping Mizuhara Chizuru seemed to smell some fragrance. She opened her eyes slightly and found that it was already dawn outside and the snow had stopped. Only then did she realize that she had fallen asleep on the edge of the bed, while Hikigaya Hachiman, who was supposed to be in the bed, was nowhere to be seen.

She moved slightly and was slightly surprised to find that she was wearing a half-worn suit jacket.

"Good morning, Ms. Chizuru."

Just at this moment, someone brought a glass of water to her.

Chizuru looked up and found Hachiman wearing her apron and talking to her with a smile.

Chizuru took the cup and found that it was warm water. She took a sip, just in time for her mouth to be dry after waking up.

"Thank you so much Miss Chizuru for last night. Your bed is so soft." Hachiman said with a smile.

As a result, Qianzuru sprayed a mouthful of water onto the bed, wetting a large area of ​​the sheets. The girl blushed and couldn't help but said, "Don't say weird things in front of me."

"No, I was just objectively describing the feel of your bed, Miss Chizuru. Sorry, sorry, I spoke out of turn." Hachiman seemed to realize that such a statement was not nice to a young girl, so he apologized immediately.

"Really? Are you stupid?" Chizuru muttered and took another sip of water.

Hachiman just smiled foolishly, and then said: "Ms. Chizuru, please wait a moment. Breakfast is almost ready. I used your ingredients without permission. I'm sorry."

Qianzuru slightly widened her eyes and said, "You can actually cook?"

Hachiman said, "When I was at the Yukinoshita family, I was responsible for all three meals."

After saying that, Hachiman went back to the kitchen to work. Chizuru remembered the sweet smell she had just smelled in her dream, which was probably the smell of Hachiman making breakfast.

After a while, Hachiman brought breakfast to the low table. He made a Japanese-style breakfast, including salt-grilled horse mackerel and tamagoyaki, a small dish of pickles, and white rice. It was a simple but hearty meal.

Chizuru sat in front of the low table, a little dazed. To be honest, she hadn't had a proper breakfast for a long time as she was busy studying, working, and taking care of her grandmother in the hospital. She usually just bought a piece of bread from a convenience store to get by.

"What's wrong? Is it not to your taste?" Hachiman asked worriedly.

Qianhe quickly shook her head and said, "That's not the case. It smells pretty good."

After that, Qianzuru picked up the rice and said, "Then I'll start."

"I'm starting too." Hachiman said with a smile.

Why, there is a warm feeling, Qianhe thought to herself, and then took a bite of rice, the soft rice grains spread in her mouth, and took another bite of tamagoyaki, the burnt aroma of eggs and the salty taste of light soy sauce stirred her tongue. This taste made Qianhe feel familiar. It was as if she had returned to the morning without the car accident, the morning when her mother would naturally prepare breakfast for her.

Suddenly, Qianzuru's nose felt sore, and then tears flowed out unconsciously.

Hachiman immediately panicked: "Sorry, is the tamagoyaki too salty?"

Qianhe quickly wiped away her tears and said, "It's nothing, just some sand got into my eyes."

"Sand?" Hachiman looked around quickly.

Qianzuru was a little embarrassed and said with a straight face: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and eat."

"hey-hey."

"why are you laughing."

"It's great that Ms. Chizuru thinks it tastes good."

"Well, it's really good." Chizuru said calmly, not wanting him to become proud.

"After all, Miss Chizuru helped me complete the task, so I still want to repay you." Hachiman said.

"Task?"

"No, nothing. Do you want to eat?" Hachiman shook his head. Chizuru didn't pursue the matter. The two of them ate breakfast in a silent but not uncomfortable atmosphere.

Hachiman took the initiative to clean up the dishes, and Chizuru also took the initiative to help.

Both of them are people who have experienced hardships in life, and they would not break plates due to clumsiness like in the cartoons.

After cleaning up the dishes, Hachiman said goodbye to Mizuhara Chizuru.

"It's about time for me to go back. I've disturbed Miss Chizuru too much these past two days." Hachiman said apologetically.

"Who said it wasn't? I'm really sorry for disturbing you too much." Chizuru didn't be polite.

Hachiman's expression became a little embarrassed, and Chizuru couldn't help but laugh: "Forget it, at least I don't hate you."

Hachiman also smiled innocently, and then said: "Well, do you want to add me on LINE? I will transfer the money to you when my job is stable."

After thinking about it, Chizuru finally shook her head and said, "Forget it. As long as you can finally win the custody of our daughter, I'll be happy. There's no need to exchange LINE."

In fact, Chizuru felt that she was too close to Hachiman. Helping Hachiman, not accepting his money, and taking him in overnight could all be considered stopgap measures in an emergency. But if they continued to keep in touch frequently in the future, Chizuru was worried that she would develop a growing fondness for this useless but kind man.

After all, she had accepted Kazuya-kun's confession last night and was already his girlfriend, so she had to keep a good distance from the opposite sex.

"Okay, I understand. After I win the custody of Mei, I will click you on the girlfriend rental website and we can go out and play together." Hachiman said with a smile.

"Then I'm looking forward to that day." Chizuru said with a smile.

Perhaps Hachiman knew what the other person was thinking, so he did not ask for the other person's LINE account, but turned around and prepared to leave.

Then he seemed to remember something, and he said, "By the way, Merry Christmas, Ms. Chizuru."

After Christmas Eve is Christmas, but Chizuru didn't realize it for a while.

After hearing Hachiman's blessing, Chizuru felt mixed emotions for a moment. Perhaps she would never be able to see the man in front of her again.

Although she still felt a little disappointed, the girl still said goodbye to the other party.

Hachiman opened the door and left Chizuru's room. He just closed the door, stretched, and prepared to go back to report to Kaguya.

In his heart, he apologized to Chizuru for being used by him. Last night, when Chizuru was on the phone, he hugged her and took a picture with his mobile phone.

But what Hachiman didn't expect was that a boy who was curled up next to Chizuru's door immediately stood up after seeing Hachiman come out, and looked full of hostility towards Hachiman.

"Are you the boy who knows Miss Chizuru?" Hachiman said.

But Kinoshita Kazuya clenched his fists tightly towards Hachiman, as if he would hit him at any time.

"I advise you not to do it. You really can't beat me." Hachiman reminded kindly.

Finally, Kazuya remembered the pain that still lingered on his face, and reluctantly gave up using violence.

"I confessed to Miss Chizuru and she agreed. We are now a couple." Kazuya announced his identity.

Hachiman was stunned for a moment, then said, "Congratulations, then?"

Chapter 16 Can you please stop being a rental girlfriend?

He was clearly intending to show off his status, but it looked miserable no matter how you looked at it.

"Then congratulations?" However, Hachiman's answer did not meet Kazuya Kinoshita's expectations at all. He originally thought that if he revealed his identity as Chizuru's boyfriend, the other party would be furious.

In other words, the man in front of him doesn't care whether Chizuru has a boyfriend or not?

Hachiman looked at the boy's pale face and said belatedly, "Did you squat here all night last night?"

After saying that, Kazuya's expression became distorted, as if he agreed.

Hachiman's expression suddenly became subtle.

I, an outsider, slept in Chizuru's bed last night. Chizuru slept beside her bed, and her boyfriend squatted at the door all night on Christmas Eve in the snow. How could this be - "If I say that I was just drunk last night and was taken care of by the kind-hearted Miss Chizuru, would you believe it?" Hachiman said awkwardly. After all, he felt a little guilty for tricking Mizuhara Chizuru into taking the photo. It would be immoral to destroy the delicate relationship between the young couple.

"Do you think I'm an idiot?" Kazuya glared at Hachiman. If it were him, how could nothing happen if he stayed in Chizuru's room for a whole night.
