Tokyo: The Beginning of the Gauze Female Devil

"Maybe I need to make some changes..."

Ogihara Saki thought silently in her heart.

Due to her mother's influence, Ogihara Saki was not good at dressing herself up since she was a child. But her mother Ogihara Ayako would dress up to look glamorous every time before going to work.

She also wanted to muster up the courage to ask why, but due to her mother's strictness, she finally gave up the idea.

"Fujii-kun, you're back."

Seeing the young man coming up the stairs, Ogihara Saki smiled again.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Ogiwara."

"Where were we just talking about, the social psychology exam?"

Fujii Itsuki threw the gift box aside, spread out the social psychology book on the table, and prepared to study for a while in order to prepare for the professional course examination in a while.

"Ogiwara, what should I answer for this question?"

After flipping through a few pages, Fujii Itsuki pointed to the blank space in the homework exercises and asked.

Social psychology research shows that the formation of ( ) is closely related to factors such as individual need satisfaction, emotional intimacy, and similarity.

"Love." Ogiwara Saki, who had read the book by heart, blurted out, staring at Fujii Itsuki's handsome profile in a daze.

"Awesome, you got it right."

Fujii Itsuki turned to the back of the book and looked at the answer.

When he looked up, he found that the girl next to him was staring at him absent-mindedly without blinking.

"Just looking, why don't you try to kiss it?" Fujii Jise raised the corner of his mouth and teased as if to liven up the atmosphere.

"Oh, I'm sorry..." Ogihara Saki suddenly came to her senses and apologized with a blushing face.

"Kiss, kiss, kiss... kiss?!"

"Fujii-kun must be kidding!"

She looked at Fujii Itsuki, whose face seemed to have a hint of expectation. Just as she felt the courage arise in her heart, Shimizu Rin's cold face suddenly appeared in her mind.

Then the face changed quickly, turning into the pure and lovely Shimizu Ai, and then into the arrogant but beautiful Chiba Shinoko.

Ogihara Saki immediately began to back out in her heart.

"At this stage, I am not worthy of the handsome Fujii-kun..."

"Um, Fujii-kun, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now!"

She said this in a panic and hurriedly left Fujii Itsuki's bedroom, her back looking like she was fleeing in desperation.

"Hey, Ogiwara?" Fujii Itsuki looked at her departing back in confusion.

"This guy, is it necessary to react so strongly?"

"Beep beep..."

The cell phone in my pocket suddenly rang.

Fujii Itsuki took it out and looked at it. A name he had never expected appeared on the caller ID - Chiba Rumi.

Chapter 62 There is a lot of trouble in front of the widow’s door

Chiba Judokan, Arakawa Ward.

In the backyard of the judo hall, where Chiba Rumi and Chiba Shinoko lived, it was a sunny day, but the house was filled with moisture, and the wooden floor seemed to be soaked in water.

Chiba Rumi's plump body was covered in a floral apron. She was walking barefoot on the floor, mopping the floor in a hurry while anxiously looking for the problem with the water pipe.

The house was empty. Since her husband passed away, the coaches and students of the judo hall had dispersed, and the once bustling Chiba Judo Hall gradually became deserted.

Her daughter, Chiba Shinoko, became decadent after dropping out of school. She went to other martial arts halls to practice boxing during the day, went to bars to get drunk all night, and went home in a daze until the early morning.

Chiba Rumi had a big fight with her daughter because of this and ordered her not to go out at night. However, Chiba Shinoko, who was in her rebellious period, ignored her advice and didn't listen at all.

She lives her own life, going back and forth between the martial arts gym, the bar and home.

Seeing more and more water seeping out from under the floor, Chiba Rumi couldn't help but speed up the mopping process, but it was like using a spoon to scoop out the accumulated water in a pit on a rainy day. If the source was not resolved, everything would be in vain.

The water on the floor was getting deeper and deeper, almost covering her toes which were painted with light-colored nail polish.

"boom--!"

Chiba Rumi slipped and fell heavily to the ground due to carelessness.

"it hurts!"

She frowned her beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows and looked at the bright red wound on her elbow.

In an instant, all kinds of complex emotions came flooding in, including loneliness, helplessness, sadness over her husband's death, and powerlessness over her daughter's rebellion.

"Xiaozi..."

She opened her mouth and wanted to call her daughter's name, but in the huge room she could only hear a faint echo of her voice and could not hear Chiba Shinoko's voice at all.

Chiba Rumi then remembered that Chiba Shinoko should still be practicing boxing in the martial arts hall at this time.

"I have to find someone to help me, otherwise I don't know how long I will have to work on my own..."

She bit her pink lips, got up from the ground, picked up the phone that had fallen to the side, and opened the address book.

"Hello, plumbing company?"

"There seems to be something wrong with my water pipe..."

"What, today is Saturday and you don't have to work?"

"Excuse me……"

Chiba Rumi hung up the phone dejectedly and looked at the other people in the address book.

My husband’s friends, students, and my high school classmates…

The faces of these men appeared in his mind one by one.

Chiba Rumi thought about it for a while, but ultimately decided not to make the call.

After all, she is a widow who just lost her husband, and she needs to avoid suspicion and be careful about her reputation.

"Hello, is that Laizi?"

She called her good friend Lai Zi again.

"What, you're eating out and you asked me to call the housekeeping company?"

"okay, I get it."

But that's exactly where the problem lies. Today is a holiday, and neither the plumbing company nor the housekeeping company is willing to send anyone over.

Although Japan is a country full of conveniences, and people working in the service industry are quite enthusiastic whether they are sincere or not, this is only true on weekdays.

"forgive me……"

Chiba Rumi ignored the water stains under her butt, rubbed the wound on her arm, and sat down on the floor dejectedly.

She slid her finger across the screen, searching for someone in her address book who could help her.

Until a name suddenly entered her sight.

"Fujii Itsuki..."

Chiba Rumi slowly pronounced these three words, and a handsome young man appeared in her mind.

The other party is just a teenager and my daughter's classmate, so there is no need to avoid suspicion.

The most important thing is that I can take this opportunity to pay the other party to help discipline the rebellious Xiaozi.

Thinking of this, Chiba Rumi's beautiful eyes lit up and she dialed Fujii Itsuki's number.

"Moshi Moshi, Mr. Fujii?"

"Excuse me, do you have time to come to my house now?"

……

Half an hour later, at Chiba's house.

"Aunt Qianye, is this why you asked me to come here?"

As soon as he entered Chiba's house, Fujii Itsuki noticed that there was water on the floor that was almost above his ankles.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fujii, I called you because I had no other choice."

Chiba Rumi bowed slightly and showed an apologetic expression.

"Where's Chiba Shinoko? Isn't she at home?"

As the old Chinese saying goes, since you're here, Fujii Itsuki won't just turn around and leave.

He took off his shoes at the door, rolled up the legs of his casual pants while asking, and walked into the Chiba residence in the water.

"Don't mention it. Xiaozi has been getting more and more disobedient recently. She goes to the martial arts hall to practice boxing during the day and hangs out in the bar until very late at night before going home."

Chiba Rumi frowned and sighed heavily.

"Basically, I haven't seen this child all day."

"Stay out late at the bar?"

Fujii Itsuki raised his eyebrows.

Has Chiba Shinoko completely fallen?

"but……"

"Why is she so eager to go to the martial arts hall during the day?"

Could it be that he is still determined to do this and has been sharpening his sword for ten years, so that he can seek revenge on him after he has mastered his martial arts?

"Haha——" Fujii Itsuki laughed disdainfully in his heart.

If this was true, then he was actually looking forward to it.

Walking into the Chiba family's kitchen on water, Fujii Itsuki first checked the water pipes behind the closet. After finding no problems, he went to the bathroom under the guidance of Chiba Rumi.

"Aunt Chiba, have you asked a repairman to come and take a look?"

He turned to Chiba Rumi beside him and asked about the situation.

“I called them, but it’s the weekend and no employee is willing to come.”

Chiba Rumi's pretty face showed a hint of embarrassment.

"Then you should ask your neighbors and acquaintances for help. Calling me will only waste more time."

"I..." Chiba Rumi hesitated to speak and lowered her gentle face slightly.

"Jianyi just passed away not long ago. It's not convenient for me, a widow, to invite other men to my house."

"So that's how it is..." Hearing her words, Fujii Itsuki immediately dispelled his doubts.

No wonder Chiba Rumi would come all the way to ask a student like him to come over to help fix the water pipe.

First, he is young and others would not gossip if they saw him. Second, he and Chiba Shinoko were barely classmates. If asked about it by neighbors, he could explain that it was his daughter's classmate who came to visit.

The reason why Chiba Rumi is so cautious is because three people make a tiger, people's words are scary, and there are many gossips around a widow!

"Aunt Chiba, I found the leak."

Pushing open the white acrylic bathtub in the bathroom, Fujii Itsuki squatted down and pulled out the connecting water pipe behind the bathtub.

"Mr. Fujii, is the water pipe broken? We have a new one at home. I'll go get it."

As she spoke, Chiba Rumi took out a yellow toolbox from the utility cabinet.

"It's a minor problem, just a loose screw."

Fujii Itsuki checked around the sewer pipe and found no obvious cracks, then took out a screwdriver from the toolbox and tightened the joint.

Just as he stood up and was about to tell Chiba Rumi that the problem had been resolved.

"Crack!"

Unable to withstand the water pressure, a crack instantly appeared on the surface of the water pipe, and then the crack quickly spread around like a spider web.

"Shh-!"
