Fujii Itsuki leaned against the backrest, closed his eyes and adjusted himself to a comfortable sitting position.

"Speaking of which, winter vacation will start soon, right? Do you want to take advantage of the vacation to go traveling?"

As he was speaking, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Dong dong dong."

With the sound of the doorknob turning, the girl walked in with light footsteps, pushed the door open.

"Onii-chan, Saki-nee, I washed the strawberries for you."

After hearing what Shimizu Ai said, Fujii Itsuki ignored her and closed his eyes and said to himself: "Ogiwara, what do you think of Hokkaido?"

“The snow scenery in Hokkaido in winter is beautiful.”

Facing the neglected Shimizu Ai, Ogihara Saki gave her a gentle smile and said softly, "Thank you."

"Sure. I have a lot of money saved in my piggy bank that I haven't spent yet. If I take the Shinkansen, it will take a little longer, but I can enjoy the scenery along the way."

She echoed his words while kneading Fujii Itsuki's shoulders.

"Let's take a plane. The Shinkansen takes at least eight hours..." Fujii Itsuki responded with his eyes closed.

Feeling a cool, juicy strawberry being handed to his mouth, he subconsciously opened his mouth and took a bite.

During the process, he even gently bit the girl's tender fingers.

"……wrong!"

Fujii Itsuki reacted instantly.

The person who massaged my shoulders was Ogiwara, and the person who fed me strawberries was...

When he opened his eyes, as expected, what came into view was Shimizu Ai's pretty little face, which was slightly flushed, as if she was blaming him for biting her finger just now.

Fujii Itsuki looked up at Ogihara Saki behind him and found that she was also looking at him with a smile.

The atmosphere was awkward and silent, mixed with a little ambiguity.

Fortunately, Fujii Itsuki was thick-skinned enough to act as if nothing had happened. While chewing the sweet strawberries, he continued the conversation: "Ogiwara, how about Shizuoka Prefecture? It's very close to Tokyo, and you can see the Pacific Ocean."

"If I don't have classes on Friday, I can just pack my bags and go on a three-day, two-night trip."

"Shizuoka..." Ogihara Saki tilted her head and thought for a while.

"I feel like I'm looking forward to Hokkaido more."

"We can have snowball fights, build snowmen, secretly pour snow down each other's necks, and clumsily support each other like ducks in the ski resort to learn skiing skills..."

"When you are tired of playing, you can return to the warm hostel, warm yourself by the fire, and enjoy a comfortable hot spring bath together."

Ogiwara Saki spoke word by word, and before Fujii Itsuki could react, Shimizu Ai, who was holding a fruit plate beside her, was already so excited that her eyes were shining.

"Onii-chan, Saki-nee, are you going to travel to Hokkaido?"

"Take me with you!" Shimizu Ai said excitedly.

"Dream on." Fujii Itsuki glanced at her unhappily.

"You have to take the unified examination in January and February, so just stay home and study!"

"It's because of the pressure from exams that I need to travel and relax!" Shimizu Ai put down the fruit plate and hugged Fujii Itsuki's arm.

"Wow, Onii-chan~"

"Give up on this idea. If you want to go, let Aunt Momonogi take you there. Don't disturb the world of two of me and Ogiwara." Fujii Itsuki still refused to give in.

"Fujii-kun, let Ai-chan come along."

At this time, Ogihara Saki spoke softly at the right time.

"After all, it's more lively when there are more people."

"When winter comes, we can invite my mother, Ai-chan's mother and sister, and our family, um... a total of six people, to travel to Hokkaido together."

"How about it?"

"Huh?!" Fujii Tree was almost overwhelmed when he thought of the faces of Momonogi and her two daughters, not to mention the many tricks of Ogiwara Ayako.

"We'll talk about it when the time comes." He said vaguely.

Anyway, there is still some time before the winter vacation, so there is no rush to travel.

"Ai-chan..." Ogihara Saki gently pulled Shimizu Ai's wrist.

"Since you are Fujii-kun's sister, then you are my sister."

"If Ai-chan's budget is not enough, sister can help you share some of the burden."

"Also..."

"After all, I am a little older than Ai Yi-chan. If Ai Yi-chan has any problems in study or life in the future, you can come to me for help."

Looking at the gentleness revealed on her pretty face and listening to her sincere tone that didn't sound fake, Shimizu Ai was slightly stunned.

Compared to her elder sister Shimizu Rin who was inherently cold and aloof, the sister Ogihara Saki in front of her was undoubtedly more kind and gentle.

"This is an open conspiracy..."

Shimizu Ai sighed in her heart.

"As expected, sincerity is the ultimate weapon!"

At this moment, she couldn't find any way to counter Ogihara Saki.

It’s like the big devil in the game who has reached the maximum level but is killed instantly by a simple attack from a passing brave warrior.

Shimizu Ai·Second match·Defeated!

"You get one point first!"

Feeling the warmth coming from her wrist, Shimizu Ai's tone relaxed, "Then... then thank you, Sister Saki."

Putting away her frustration, she forced a smile, turned and walked out of the room.

"Wow——" After Shimizu Ai left, Fujii Itsuki glanced at Ogiwara Saki in surprise.

"I was scolded by Aunt Ayako this morning and couldn't even lift my head, but now I'm doing it with ease."

"Everyone grows up." Ogiwara Saki's eyes curved into crescents after being praised frankly by Fujii Itsuki.

"Really?" Fujii Itsuki curled the corner of his mouth and stretched his claws towards the ticklish spot on Ogiwara Saki's waist.

"Let me check to see how much you've grown!"

Chapter 97 Kuroda Yoshiko

Bunkyo District, Hongo Town.

Tokyo's Bunkyo Ward is famous for its culture and education, and it has the lowest crime rate among the 23 wards. 15 national and private universities, including the University of Tokyo, are concentrated in Bunkyo Ward.

In a cafe playing classical jazz music, Momonogi Eiko sat in a secluded booth, stirring the fragrant coffee in the cup with a silver spoon, quietly waiting for someone to appear.

"Eiko, long time no see!"

Not long after, a beautiful woman in her early thirties with short black hair came over, calling out kindly and waving her hand.

She wore a loose black knitted sweater with a white skirt, and her pretty face was made up to look youthful. She looked like a student from a nearby university who was out shopping after classes.

Kuroda Yoshiko is Momonogi Eiko's college classmate and best friend.

Hearing Kuroda Yoshiko's greeting, Momonogi Eiko's expression remained unchanged. She adjusted the thin-framed glasses on her oval face with her hand and uttered a cold voice: "...idiot."

"That's so loud, do you want the whole world to know that we are meeting here today?"

"Uh——" The enthusiastic expression on Kuroda Yoshiko's pretty face froze for a moment.

"I'm sorry, I was careless..."

As if a small animal had encountered its natural enemy, she nodded slightly, apologized, and timidly pulled away the chair in front of Momonogi Eiko and sat down on it.

Unlike Momonogi Eiko, who had a strong personality, Kuroda Yoshiko was the bullied girl in the dormitory during her college years. She was weak and easy to bully.

One of the reasons why Momonogi Eiko chose to work with her first was that Kuroda Yoshiko was timid and easy to control.

She pointed east, and Kuroda Yoshiko would never dare to go west.

It's been like this since college.

"Eiko, I..." Kuroda Yoshiko nervously held her thighs with both hands, and spoke tentatively with her soft face under her short black hair.

"Don't worry."

Momonogi Eiko interrupted her and rested her slender and well-proportioned right leg on top of her left leg.

"Order a drink and relax, it's my treat."

Her unquestionable tone instantly took control of the situation.

Kuroda Yoshiko took the menu and asked the waiter for a cup of matcha latte and a portion of chocolate tiramisu. After returning the menu, she sat up straight and looked at the woman in front of her.

Exquisite facial features and beautiful face.

Momonogi Eiko, a huge mountain that has been pressing on her head all her life.

Not only is she better than her in figure and appearance, but she also gave birth to two equally outstanding and beautiful daughters.

Not only that, even during the low period after losing her husband and raising two children, she was able to find a bootlicker who took the initiative to give her his inheritance to manage.

Compared to Kuroda Yoshiko, who is divorced and has no children, she is definitely a winner in life.

Because of Momonogi Eiko's strong personality, she has taken Kuroda Yoshiko as her follower since she entered university.

Until now, when Kuroda Yoshiko sat in front of Momonogi Eiko and talked to her, she still secretly observed the other person's expression.

"How's your thinking?" Momonogi Eiko supported her fair chin with one hand and gently stroked the handle of the coffee cup with the other.

"Eiko..." Kuroda Yoshiko looked around guiltily. When she found that no one was paying attention to them, she spoke in a low voice anxiously, "What are we doing..."

“It’s a crime.”

"Nonsense!" Hearing her cautious tone, Momonogi Eiko's delicate brows like willow leaves frowned.

“Is there any legal opportunity in this world that can make ordinary people rich?”

She glared at Kuroda Yoshiko coldly, as if she was looking at a hopeless waste.

"Even if there is, it won't be our turn!"

"It seems so..." Kuroda Yoshiko was speechless and could only nod submissively.

"Stop talking nonsense. I didn't take out 50 million to have coffee and chat with you!"

"Liangzi, how much money have you collected?"

Momonogi Eiko folded her arms across her chest.

Hearing the tens of millions of dollars, Kuroda Yoshiko lowered her head in embarrassment and stammered, "About, one, one million..."

"One million?" Momonogi Eiko frowned.

"You are a Chinese teacher at the university. How come you have saved this little money after so many years of divorce?"

"I..." Kuroda Yoshiko's pretty face flushed and she seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Eizi, you know I left the house with nothing. I didn't get any money or house."

"The rent and cost of living in Tokyo are so high that it's not easy for me to save 1 million."

Her eyes were wandering and her words were half-truths.

Momonogi Eiko knew that her best friend chose to leave the house because her ex-husband's family could not tolerate her because of some bad behavior.

"You're lying!" Her beautiful eyes, bright and sharp, swept across Kuroda Yoshiko's pretty face with scrutiny.

As a teacher at a national university, even if she is just an ordinary lecturer and not an assistant or professor, Kuroda Yoshiko can get a monthly salary of 40 yen, which is not much less than her as a section chief in a company.

How is it possible to save only 100 million in all these years?

"Yoshiko, are you having another old problem?" Momonogi Eiko put down her crossed legs and asked with a cold face.

"No, no..." Feeling the oppressive feeling emanating from her body, Kuroda Yoshiko stuttered.

"I used it to pay off debts, to pay off the debts I owed before!" she explained repeatedly.

Hearing this answer, Momonogi Eiko's brows slowly relaxed.
