Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

But perhaps because Qianzuru herself couldn't run fast, the two of them were unable to distance themselves from the gangsters chasing them.

The next moment, Hachiman stopped, gave a surprise attack to the thugs behind him, and punched the guy in the front with a heavy punch. The thug groaned and fell to the ground. The next moment, Chizuru suddenly found herself weightless.

"Wow." Then she realized that she was being carried on Hachiman's back. Hachiman then continued to run forward. Chizuru was a little surprised at the man's strength. He ran even faster with her on his back than before, and the distance between her and those gangsters was getting wider.

When the thugs were almost out of sight, Hachiman rushed under the bridge and hid with Chizuru.

"Mr. Hikigaya." Just as Chizuru was about to say something, Hachiman covered his mouth and pressed himself against his chest.

"Don't talk yet, they are still nearby." Hachiman said.

Chizuru's body was a little tense, and she could feel Hachiman's slightly rapid breathing in his chest. Although she knew that there were still thugs chasing them, she felt an inexplicable sense of security in her heart, as if everything would be fine as long as he was by her side.

Qianzuru felt that this sense of dependence came out of nowhere and was stunned for a moment.

After a long while, Hachiman finally said with a sigh of relief: "Those guys should be gone."

Then she let go of Chizuru. The girl looked at Hachiman a little dully before coming to her senses and saying, "Well, thank you very much, Mr. Hikigaya."

This was what he meant sincerely. If Hachiman had not appeared just now, he couldn't imagine what would have happened if he had been dragged into the dark alley by these thugs.

"What are you talking about? Didn't Ms. Chizuru help me a lot?"

Hachiman said, mostly with the guilt of fooling Chizuru.

The two smiled at each other, as if they were old friends meeting each other without any awkwardness.

"By the way, why is Mr. Hikigaya here?" Chizuru asked curiously.

Hachiman scratched his cheek and said, "You may not believe it, but I'm a boyfriend-for-hire and I just separated from my client."

Qianzuru was a little surprised and said: "Liar?!"

Hachiman said helplessly: "I was also inspired by Ms. Chizuru, and I feel that 5,000 yen an hour is a pretty generous reward."

Chizuru understood a little bit. After all, Mr. Hikigaya was still short of money for his life and custody of his daughter, and the salary of a rental boyfriend was indeed high. If you think about it this way, it's not surprising.

"No wonder Mr. Hikigaya looks a little different today." Chizuru said with a smile.

"What's different?" Hachiman asked curiously.

"He's more confident now, he's dressed neatly, and looks much more handsome." Chizuru looked at the man's dress and temperament. She still remembered how miserable Mr. Hikigaya looked when she first saw him.

"Hahaha." Hachiman laughed dryly. He could say that this was his original appearance, and the miserable look he had back then was just a lie.

"Hmm, which girl ordered Mr. Hikigaya to come out? I'm really curious." For some reason, Chizuru felt a little uncomfortable, as if her exclusive toy was shared with someone else.

"She's a girl who likes to play pranks."

After thinking about it, Hachiman said that he couldn't tell Chizuru directly that she was a green tea bitch, so as not to scare Chizuru. He felt that this was already a very euphemistic statement.

Chizuru narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "It looks like Mr. Hikigaya is having a lot of fun."

"That's true." It was really fun to teach a tea master a lesson, Hachiman explained in his mind.

But Chizuru looked unhappy: "Mr. Hikigaya, you are unexpectedly fickle."

"???" Hachiman had a question mark on his face.

Qianzuru regretted what she said after she finished speaking. She wondered what she was talking about and could only speak to make amends.

"I thought you were more affectionate towards Ms. Yukinoshita Yukino."

"Well, everyone should look forward." Hachiman was a little confused about what Chizuru meant.

But after thinking about it, he felt that it was not good to continue hiding it from Chizuru, so he said: "Well, Ms. Chizuru, actually I am not..."

But before she could finish her words, Chizuru looked at her watch and her expression changed: "Oh no, I'm going to be late."

"What's wrong?" Hachiman asked, suppressing what he was about to say.

"I still have to attend a party with Kazuya and his classmates." It has been more than half an hour since he last called.

Hachiman thought for a moment and said, "Let me go with you. Those thugs may still be nearby. It's too dangerous for you to go alone."

"Hey, is it okay? It won't be too much trouble for you." Chizuru felt a little embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter. I have to meet a client later anyway," Hachiman said.

Chizuru narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "I think Mr. Hikigaya is opening the shop at night as well."

Hachiman saw Chizuru's misunderstanding and quickly said, "No, it's this girl who worked overtime at night, and I have to watch her today. She has a bad temper."

Seeing the man speak seriously, Chizuru felt better for some reason, and then said, "After all, it's not easy to make money in this industry. This is the experience of our predecessors."

"Senior, what you said is very good!" Hachiman said with a smile, and Chizuru couldn't help laughing.

Not long after, the two left under the bridge. Fortunately, perhaps the thugs couldn't find them and left directly, and the two never met them again. Then Chizuru followed the navigation and went with Hachiman to the "Big Bird Turn Turn" bar on the bar street.

Chizuru said, "This is it. Thank you so much today, Mr. Hikigaya."

Hachiman just smiled and said nothing.

Chizuru hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided not to invite Hachiman to go in together, as it was not appropriate after all.

"Well, I'm going to go in now. Goodbye, Mr. Hikigaya."

Hachiman nodded and said, "Well, see you again if there's a chance."

After saying that, he watched Chizuru go into the bar. He took the time to stand at the door of the bar and smoke a cigarette, then he received a call from Nanami Asami.

"Hey, where are you?"

"What? Big Bird Spinning Around? What a stupid name. Never mind. Let me look for it."

After Hachiman hung up the phone, he casually looked up at the bar sign, which read "Big Bird Turning" in large letters.

Chapter 60: Kazuya-kun, I am so disappointed in you

Chizuru said goodbye to Hachiman and went into the bar. To be honest, she didn't like this noisy environment. She was also hesitant about getting to know Kazuya's circle rashly, thinking it was too fast. If it was a boy like Kibe Akiyoshi who had an upright character, it would be fine. But she was reluctant to integrate into Kazuya's small group.

No matter what she thinks, since she is already here, she should show her good side, also to make Kazuya-kun happy.

Before she had searched for long, her boyfriend Kinoshita Kazu stood up and waved, as if afraid that she couldn't see him.

"Chizuru, here, here." The boy said loudly, attracting the attention of everyone at the table.

To be honest, Chizuru didn't like being watched by others. She felt like she was being looked at like a monkey. But she quickly walked to Kazuya's side, smiled and greeted everyone, saying, "Hello, everyone. I'm Chizuru Ichinose, Kazuya-kun's girlfriend."

Then the students sitting around the table let out exclamations one after another.

"I didn't expect that she is really Kazuya's girlfriend."

"She's so beautiful, just like an idol star."

"How lucky is this guy Kazuya!"

They were amazed at Chizuru's appearance and temperament, and at the same time felt puzzled that such a loser like Kazuya could find such a beautiful girlfriend.

Chizuru glanced at Kazuya next to her and found that his cheeks were slightly red, he seemed a little excited, with an unconcealable pride and complacency on his face.

It’s as if to say, what do you think, the girlfriends that Uncle Ye and I have found are pretty good, right?

Chizuru couldn't help laughing. It was not that she couldn't understand the desire to show off in front of friends. Wasn't it for this moment that Kazuya organized this party today?

Although Chizuru thought the boy seemed a little childish, she was willing to cooperate with him for his sake.

Next, Kazuya introduced his friends to Chizuru.

"This is Kibe Akiyoshi, my best friend since childhood." Kazuya said to his childhood sweetheart.

"Please give me your guidance." Chizuru also said with a smile. It was rare for Kibe Akiyoshi to give Chizuru a smile.

Compared to the moody Nanami Asami, Chizuru Ichinose left a much better impression on him.

"This is Kuribayashi Shun, my classmate." Kazuya continued to introduce.

Chizuru looked at Kuribayashi Shun who was wearing glasses and she didn't like his gaze, which was sneaky and a little lewd.

However, Chizuru did not show her displeasure.

"This is Keiko Arai."

"This is Kasuga Jun."

"Please give me your guidance." Qianzuru greeted repeatedly.

Then Kazuya suddenly paused, seeming to be hesitant.

Chizuru looked at her boyfriend strangely, and then she heard Kazuya say, "This is Nanami Asami, yes..."

Qianzuru looked at the smiling girl opposite her and felt that her smile was a little strange. It was obviously very sunny, but it gave people a hostile feeling.

Seeing Kazuya's hesitation, Nanami Asami took over the conversation and said, "My name is Nanami Asami, I'm Kazuya's ex-girlfriend. Please give me your advice."

For a moment, everyone's eyes were wandering between Mami and Chizuru. When Chizuru heard the words "ex-girlfriend", her head suddenly became confused and buzzing, and she couldn't help but open her eyes wide.

This is Kazuya's ex-girlfriend?!

Why, no one told me that Kazuya's ex-girlfriend would also be attending the party tonight?!

Chizuru looked at Kazuya with a surprised expression, only to see that Kazuya, who was so proud just now, was now timid and didn't even dare to look her in the eye.

In an instant, a surge of anger surged into Chizuru's heart. At this moment, Chizuru knew that Kazuya knew that his ex-girlfriend would come to the party, but he did not tell her and deliberately concealed it.

Chizuru originally thought that Kazuya just wanted to show off in front of his friends and classmates, and she was willing to cooperate with this. However, she didn't expect that Kazuya was actually thinking about showing off his current girlfriend in front of his ex-girlfriend, and he kept it a secret from her, forcing her to compete with this girl named Nanami Asami.

Chizuru clenched her fists tightly. Her life creed was that only an optimistic and cheerful mood could lead to a happy life, but at the moment her mood was very bad.

Seeing Chizuru's surprised expression, Nanami Asami seemed to understand something. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Ah, didn't Kazuya-kun tell you that I would come tonight? This is not good. I was already prepared for today."

What to prepare for, of course, is to confront your ex-boyfriend's current bitch.

Damn it, he knew that it was an occasion to officially announce his current girlfriend but he still called his ex-girlfriend over. If I don’t beat your stupid brains out, did he really think that Nanami Mami could be bullied?

Chizuru was suddenly pushed into a dilemma by her boyfriend. She didn't want to compete with anyone. But Nanami Asami on the other side seemed to be extremely hostile to her.

Chizuru's mouth was full of bitterness, but she was a person who cared about the situation and would not let it get too ugly no matter what. Even if she was unwilling, she could only help Kazuya to make up for it.

"Maybe Kazuya-kun forgot for a moment. Please give me some advice, Nanami-san." She tried to be generous and decent and kept smiling as she greeted Nanami Asami.

All she heard was a somewhat cold sneer from the other party, and he did not continue to make things difficult for Qianhe. At least she passed the first level.

Not long after she sat down, the atmosphere seemed a little awkward, and Qianhe could no longer suppress her anger, so she said to everyone, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Kazuya quickly said, "The bathroom is far away, I'll take you there."

"Oh, the husband and wife really follow each other."

"So loving."

Some people teased, and then Mami's joking words were heard.

"Could it be that the lease period is up and he is ready to leave?"

"Haha, how could that be? Isn't she your real girlfriend?"

Chizuru listened to Nanami Asami's hostile mockery and couldn't say a word. She just left the place angrily, and Kazuya followed her in a hurry.

Then, when Kazuya discovered that Chizuru was walking towards the exit, he said in a panic: "Chizuru, I'm sorry, please listen to my explanation."

Chizuru stopped and did not hide the anger in her expression at all. She said: "Kazuya-kun, do you know what you are doing?"

Kazuya quickly shirked responsibility and said, "I actually didn't know that Asami-chan was coming. It wasn't me who asked her to come. It was because we were a small group that someone asked Asami-chan to come as well."

Chizuru's expression was still as angry as ever, but she was more disappointed. She said, "Are you still looking for excuses at this time? Why didn't you make it clear when you invited people not to invite Nanami? Did you forget about it because you were careless, or did you acquiesce and let others invite Nanami as well?"

Kazuya's expression suddenly froze, and he couldn't help avoiding Chizuru's gaze, trying to deny: "I'm not"

But Chizuru quickly interrupted him and said, "Kazuya-kun, I am so disappointed in you."

Chapter 61 I Want to See a River of Blood

"Kazuya-kun, I'm so disappointed in you." The girl's voice was faint, but one could hear the sadness in her voice.

She originally thought that Kazuya was just vain and concerned about his reputation as a teenager, and that it was no big deal. However, hiding the truth about Nanami Asami was really too much, and it was tantamount to putting her on the fire.

Suddenly, He became panicked. He felt that he understood Chizuru. She had always been gentle and rarely got angry. So he thought that if he let Chizuru meet his ex-girlfriend by chance, she would understand him.

But he could not have imagined that his outrageous actions had completely crossed Qianhe's bottom line.

Chizuru turned around and walked towards the exit. Going to the bathroom was just an excuse. She didn't intend to continue to argue with Kazuya about face. It would be more meaningful for her to study the audition script a few more times with this time.

But Kazuya was anxious. He couldn't imagine what kind of ridicule would greet him if Chizuru left like this. And what about Nanami Asami? If Chizuru really left, how embarrassed he would be in front of his ex-girlfriend.
