Tokyo: The Beginning of the Gauze Female Devil

"By the way, Mom..." Chiba Shinoko picked up a piece of celery with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. While chewing, she pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Fujii sent me a message before, asking me how the flower shop you and Aunt Laizi opened is doing."

"He plans to take some time to visit soon."

"Hey, is Mr. Fujii coming?"

As expected, if you think of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will appear. Chiba Rumi was still thinking about Fujii Itsuki in her heart just now, but she didn't expect to hear his name from her daughter's mouth the next second.

"It is now officially open for business. Mr. Fujii is welcome to visit us anytime."

Chiba Rumi paused, then picked up the phone on her right hand side and said, "I'd better ask Mr. Fujii when he is free, so that I can prepare in advance."

"Wait a minute!" Seeing her mother Chiba Rumi's actions, Chiba Shinoko panicked and quickly interrupted her.

If her mother were to get in touch with Fujii Itsuki, she would be completely exposed and would not have anything to hide.

"What's wrong, Shinoko?" Chiba Rumi stopped her slender hands and cast a puzzled look.

"Um, that..." Chiba Xiaozi mumbled, and then quickly said: "Mom, didn't I tell you to have less contact with that guy?"

"Really? I get annoyed when I hear his name!" She pouted, looking extremely disgusted.

"Anyway, I'll tell him the address of the flower shop, and he can go there whenever he wants."

Seeing that her daughter was about to lose her temper, Chiba Rumi didn't want to offend her, so she had to give up.

"Okay..." She put down her phone with some trouble.

"When will Shinoko be able to get along well with Mr. Fujii?"

……

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the doorbell rang outside Chiba's house.

"Ding dong."

After ringing the doorbell, Fujii Itsuki stood at the door and waited for less than half a minute before the door was opened from the inside.

"Are you the only one home?" Fujii Itsuki asked softly to the girl who opened the door without any intention of greeting, and his eyes looked towards the living room.

"Where's Aunt Chiba?"

"You only have eyes for my mother, right?" Hearing Fujii Itsuki's words, Chiba Xiaozi frowned and said unhappily, "Such a big living person is standing in front of you, you can't see it, right?"

"Of course I can see it."

Fujii Itsuki responded indifferently, his eyes starting from the canvas shoes on Chiba Shinoko's feet, sliding across her straight and smooth calves, the hip-hugging jeans that were half covered by the T-shirt, and the loose black cartoon T-shirt on her upper body.

Then there was her pretty face with a hint of anger.

Chiba Shinoko put on delicate makeup today. With her arms folded across her chest and her brows furrowed, she made people feel dazed, as if the unruly Arakawa school leader had made a comeback.

Seeing that she looked well prepared, Fujii Itsuki asked jokingly, "Why, are you going too?"

"You..." Chiba Shinoko was speechless for a moment, and raised her pink fist, wishing she could hit Fujii Itsuki's handsome face.

"Cut the nonsense!"

"If I don't go, do you know the exact address?"

"Why don't you just tell me?" Fujii Itsuki kept smiling.

"I don't want to tell you!" Chiba Xiaozi said in a fierce and tender voice.

"…Then I'll ask Aunt Chiba." Fujii Itsuki said as he took out his cell phone from his pocket.

"Hey, you..." It was as if the snake was caught in a weak spot and the animal had met its natural enemy. Chiba Shinoko quickly held down Fujii Itsuki's hand.

"You are such a boring person!"

"The flower shop is over in Nippori." She rolled her eyes at Fujii Itsuki in annoyance.

"And then..." Seeing Chiba Shinoko surrendering little by little, Fujii Itsuki held her slender hand in return, controlling her every move.

"Then, Nippori is full of shopping malls." Chiba Shinoko bit her pink lips, hugged Fujii Itsuki's arm, and spoke pleading words in a rude tone.

"I want you to go shopping with me!"

Chapter 160 He is better than anyone else

Arakawa-ku, Nishi-Nippori 2-chome, Yanaka Ginza Street.

There are long houses scattered around and shops everywhere.

The ancient wooden buildings and modern shops are intertwined, creating an elegant and artistic atmosphere. It is popular among locals and tourists.

Opening a flower shop here is a wise choice.

In a clothing store, Chiba Shinoko carefully selected a black baseball cap from the shelf and put it on her head. She looked left and right in the full-length mirror, then turned around and gave Fujii Itsuki a bright smile.

"Is it beautiful?" She gently pressed the brim of her hat with her slender hands.

Seeing Chiba Shinoko wearing a black loose T-shirt, denim hip-hugging shorts, and a baseball cap on her head, she looked very girlish, but at the same time, a ruffian and bad aura almost pounced on Fujii Itsuki.

"...She is indeed very beautiful." He looked at Chiba Shinoko with a scrutinizing look and nodded honestly.

"In that case..."

Chiba Shinoko took a step towards Fujii Itsuki with great force, and the brim of her baseball cap almost touched Fujii Itsuki's nose.

She was bold and dared to raise her pretty face and look Fujii Itsuki in the eye in a clothing store full of strangers.

"How about being your girlfriend?"

Chiba Shinoko spoke in a frivolous tone, with a smile spreading from the corners of her mouth to her eyebrows, making people feel that she was joking to liven up the atmosphere.

But Fujii Itsuki knew this was no joke, so he cut off Chiba Shinoko's space to test further and said bluntly: "...Not very good."

"Hmph——" Chiba Xiaoko raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly.

"It was just a joke, but you took it seriously!"

She found a way out for herself, took off her baseball cap and hung it back on the shelf, then walked out of the counter in a stubborn and stubborn manner, like a donkey that had broken free from its reins.

Fujii Itsuki had no intention of going up to comfort her. After leaving the clothing store, he saw a pottery shop on the side of the road, so he went in and bought a vase as a gift to celebrate the opening of Chiba Rumi Flower Shop.

Chiba Shinoko held her chest with her hands, standing more than ten meters away, waiting for no one, so she had to turn back the way she came.

"You are such a terrible person!"

I saw Fujii Itsuki in the pottery shop asking the boss to wrap a vase, and then he took out his wallet to pay.

Chiba Xiaozi frowned and walked over to hold his arm again.

"Who is this for?" she asked knowingly.

"Of course it's Aunt Chiba." Fujii Itsuki took the packaging bag from the boss.

"She's the only one on your mind, right? Why haven't you given me any gifts?" Chiba Xiaozi's words seemed to reduce the acidity in the air.

"Sure, the baseball cap you wore just now looks very beautiful on you." Fujii Itsuki acted as if he was someone who was easy to talk to.

"I'll give it to you if you ask me."

Being suddenly praised by Fujii Itsuki, Chiba Xiaozi's expression eased a little, but she still said in a delicate voice: "No, I'm not a beggar!"

"I will fight for what I like." She held Fujii Itsuki's arm tighter.

"Um, Fujii..." The previous probing didn't work, so Chiba Xiaozi had to play it straight: "Do you like my mother... a gentle woman like that?"

"Yes, that's right." Fujii Itsuki admitted it frankly.

Hearing his words, Chiba Xiaoko couldn't help but bite her pink lips, and then she seemed to suddenly remember something, and a familiar face appeared in her mind.

"...Wait, you don't like Ogihara Saki, do you?"

"That's right." Fujii Itsuki nodded, pulled his hand out of Chiba Shinoko's arms, and walked towards the central area of Yanaka Ginza Street with the shopping bag.

"It's a pity there is no reward."

"What's your vision?" Chiba Shinoko carefully recalled the appearance of Ogihara Saki, and thought of her figure who was the only one who was timid and submissive with a pigtail.

"Ogiwara is so rustic, her voice is quieter than a mosquito, you..."

"Stop!" Fujii Itsuki stopped and glanced at Chiba Shinoko.

"Defaming her in front of me won't affect my liking for her in the slightest. It will only cause your score to drop again and again."

"Senior Chiba, you'd better have some self-awareness." When he said this, Fujii Itsuki's voice was obviously a little cold.

"Why are you so fierce!" Hearing his scolding, Chiba Shinoko curled her lips in annoyance.

"I can be gentle too!"

"As if everyone can't pretend..."

She stretched out her slender legs under her denim shorts and quickly chased after Fujii Itsuki.

……

At the end of Yanaka Ginza Street, in a flower shop full of flowers.

"Wow—"

Chiba Rumi sat in front of the counter and deftly wrapped several bunches of pure white eustoma with old English newspapers. She tied them with a pink ribbon and hung them on the shelf.

The flower shop is not big, only about 30 square meters. The workbench and the counter are placed in a small room at the back of the shop without interfering with each other.

Because it is a flower shop opened by two best friends, the two of them usually work in the morning and afternoon, or take turns working one day and resting the next.

This afternoon, Chiba Rumi was the only one in the flower shop.

Just as she was supporting her snow-white chin with her slender hand and looking boredly at the tourists passing by outside, two familiar figures suddenly came into her sight.

"Shinoko!"

"And Mr. Fujii, why are you here?"

Seeing the person coming, a look of surprise appeared on Chiba Rumi's pretty face. She stood up and greeted him while speaking.

"Fujii said he couldn't find this place, so he asked me to help lead the way..." After entering the flower shop, Chiba Shinoko lied without blushing or breathing heavily.

And Fujii Itsuki obviously had no intention of exposing her. After looking at the layout of the flower shop, he handed the gift in his hand to Chiba Rumi.

"Aunt Qianye, business is booming and good luck to your grand opening!"

He said a few polite words.

"Thank you!" Chiba Rumi's beautiful face showed a gentle smile, and she stretched out her slender hand to gratefully accept the gift.

"Hey, it's a ceramic vase, so beautiful!"

Through the transparent packaging bag, you can clearly see the exquisitely crafted pottery inside.

"But why a vase? Is it because I run a flower shop?"

"No..." Fujii Itsuki paused for a few seconds and said in a soft voice: "Because this way I can give you flowers every day."

"what--?!"

Hearing the sincerity in the boy's tone and seeing the handsome and gentle smile on his face, Chiba Rumi's mature and beautiful face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Don't joke like that, Mr. Fujii." She put her hands up to cover her blushing face a little embarrassedly.

"I'm already in my thirties, almost forty."

"How could that be..." Fujii Itsuki continued her topic, "In my opinion, Aunt Chiba is young and beautiful. When she and Senior Chiba stand together, they look like two sisters."

As he said that, he turned his head and looked at Chiba Shinoko, whose eyes were filled with anger and who looked as if she wanted to eat him alive.

"Ah--"

"Maybe someone said that on purpose because he has an age control problem!"

Chiba Xiaozi sneered and glared at the boy who had made her mother blush with just a few words. Her mood also seemed to be falling, and she was being drawn into the bottomless abyss step by step.

"He actually knows better than anyone else, he actually understands better than anyone else!"

“But he just wouldn’t tell me that!”

“Huh?!”

"Mr. Fujii likes the older aunt?!"
