"I've told you many times, that woman is not me. When I rushed over, Shimizu Yuki had already..."

"You're talking nonsense! How could it not be you?! I saw it with my own eyes, you...you were clearly together at the time! Could it be that I am seeing things?"

"..."

Kurono Yukie turned her eyes away, no longer looking at Mina Sakai, who was in endless anger and seemed to be losing her mind. She just answered her questions with silence.

This undoubtedly further stimulated Mina Sakai. She frantically ruffled her hair, wishing she could use her slender, shiny nails to scratch the hateful face of Kurono Yukie, who had taken advantage of her.

But even if a hundred of her came together, they probably wouldn't be able to hurt Kurono Yukie at all. Mina Sakai still has some self-knowledge.

"I will kill you before you find Yuki!"

After making this oath, Mina Sakai turned around and went back to the house.

"Why did you come to such a dirty place? If Shimizu Yuki knew..."

"Shimizu Hiroki is dead!"

The woman turned around and said an answer that Kurono Yukie was unwilling to believe. Her dull and cold face finally changed.

92. Unbearable to look back & Difficult choice and the black-eyed girl in the convenience store

The last female customer took the change and merchandise from Hiroki Shimizu. She secretly stared at the handsome cashier, and the fatigue from working overtime until late at night seemed to be greatly healed.

After being busy for several hours, the convenience store finally became deserted as the early morning approached.

Hiroki Shimizu opened his mobile phone in a corner that could not be captured by the overhead surveillance camera. The warm professional smile on his face disappeared, leaving only heavy worry and resentment lingering between his brows for a long time.

……

"How long are you going to delay paying this month's rent? If you don't want to live here, get out right now. The end of the month is the deadline!"

"Your credit card with the last digit **** is seriously overdue. Please make the minimum payment as soon as possible..."

"You are so bad, you are a pervert, a molester, and a dog of the rich and powerful. You beast in human clothing, Shimizu Yuuki, get out of Nodaka now."

……

After taking a break from the hard work, I was exhausted physically and mentally, with no time to think. Everything seemed like yesterday, as if nothing had happened.

However, the next second, the bad news that came one after another on the mobile phone screen, mixed with the huge pressure that suffocated the surrounding air, suddenly hit people head-on, making people forget the instinct to breathe for a moment.

With a handful of cold water poured on his head, Hiroki Shimizu immediately returned to the cruel and cold reality.

His personal social media app was no longer accessible. Not only had it been opened, but his carefully hidden past had been dug up and uploaded to the school forum. He no longer had any privacy at all.

Countless obscene words almost overwhelmed him, and people kept sending him friend requests, all wanting to ask for an explanation for the poor girl named Kobayashi Kei.

Not only did he suffer from school bullying for many years, but at the most desperate and helpless moment, he was seduced and deceived by Shimizu Hiroki, the discipline chief, and was brutally violated in the infirmary.

These shocking and unspeakable incidents have undoubtedly aroused public anger. They have petitioned to uncover the dirty and ugly gray area behind this so-called elite university. This group of wealthy and powerful people have used their family privileges to do whatever they want within the school. The first target they want to take is Shimizu Hiroki, who also came from a famous family!

The current situation is clearly a crisis. If things continue to brew and ferment, it will reach the point where Nodaka can no longer sit idly by and must come up with an explanation. Shimizu Hiroki will be close to dropping out of school.

Fortunately, among the crowd of dirty talk, there were two people who were still willing to help him, giving him hope of escaping this predicament.

The first candidate was the current female principal of Nodaka School, Yoshinaga Aiko. Instead of wanting to hand him over to calm the turmoil, she offered to find a way to prevent Shimizu Hiroki from expelling and invited him to the school office for a detailed discussion.

The second one was the new transfer student Mina Sakai. As the eldest daughter of the Sakai family, she took the initiative to approach him and firmly believed that he was framed, so she was the first to lend him a helping hand.

But what really moved Shimizu Hiroki was undoubtedly that Mina Sakai took the initiative to reveal the secret that she had been engaged to him, and claimed that everything she did was entrusted by his mother Shimizu Iori before her death, and she also took out another earring that Shimizu Iori left for him as a relic as evidence...

Now that it has come to this, the weight of Shimizu Iori's name undoubtedly instantly tipped the scales in favor of Sakai Mina. Even her mother was willing to believe her and even gave her her most beloved earrings.

Taking out his mobile phone, Hiroki Shimizu undoubtedly made his choice and clicked on Mina Sakai's profile picture.

Before sending the message, out of curiosity, he opened Mina Sakai's social space and took a look.

There is no exaggeration of carefully retouched facial features or pretentious posturing. Most of the shots are casual shots, with the pure and unrestrained river breeze and mountains and rivers behind them. The protagonists in the camera smile beautifully and generously, are stunning and flamboyant, and exude nobility in their every move.

There are various travel photos, book sharing, and occasionally one or two selfies. The background behind them is either a dance studio or a piano practice room. There is no doubt that she is following the elite class style of the old aristocracy.

Most families have extremely strict education and tight control, so children can only live according to their family's ideas. They almost grow up under the shackles of conformity, like shapeless slurry that is gradually burned into a flawless mold in the eyes of the world.

Hiroki Shimizu couldn't help but feel some empathy, and believed Mina Sakai's words even more.

"Sakai-san, I've thought it through. Are you free tomorrow?"

After editing your message, click Send.

Shimizu Hiroki felt an inexplicable palpitation. He raised his head and locked his gaze on the door of the convenience store. The sensor door slowly opened to both sides. When the short welcome music disappeared, the crisp sound of high-heeled boots stepping on the white porcelain floor suddenly rang out in the silent and deserted convenience store in the early hours of the morning.

The guest was a woman with long hair, not decorated or restrained by any hair accessories. Her long, smooth black hair fell like a waterfall, all the way to her slender waist.

She wore a dark black long coat and tight jeans, which outlined her perfectly slender and well-proportioned legs. Her muscles looked youthful and toned when she walked, which was quite eye-catching.

Looking at the back of this absolutely sexy and hot woman, Hiroki Shimizu couldn't help but feel curious and wanted to take a look at her face. After all, such fashionable and trendy outfit was a rare sight in a late-night convenience store in a remote location.

However, Hiroki Shimizu quickly lowered his head and went back to his own work. Staring at customers as they choose to buy goods would bring great psychological pressure to them, and he still possesses such professional qualities.

He took out a basket from under the counter, ready to dispose of the fast food bento that had been put on the shelves in the afternoon but not sold out. Of course, he would not throw them into the trash can as required, but would use them as a source of energy for the rest of the day. This was something he was already familiar with and accustomed to.

Before leaving the cashier counter, Hiroki Shimizu took another look at the female customer who had been hanging around the dessert area, but he was cautious and did not step forward to offer help without permission.

He carried the basket to the bento area and was pleasantly surprised to find a specially selected beef bento, which always sold well, lying neatly on the counter waiting for customers to buy it.

This bento box uses exquisite ingredients. The beef remains soft and has a rich flavor even when it is cold, and the side dishes are also quite rich. However, the high price on the sticker has always kept Hiroki Shimizu away.

He felt that something happy had finally happened today, and was about to put the lunch box in his pocket, but he found that the light above his head suddenly dimmed.

A human-shaped black shadow completely enveloped him as he bent down. At the same time, he smelled a rich and sweet aroma, which made him subconsciously ignore the violently beating heart in his chest due to fear.

Shimizu Yuuki straightened his back, slowly turned around, and met the woman's dark eyes that were exactly the same color as his.

This woman who had been hanging around in the sweets section not long ago suddenly appeared behind him. He didn't notice it when she was far away, but her height after putting on high boots was almost as tall as his. When Shimizu Hiroki straightened up, she was looking down at him with those indifferent and cold eyes.

When he thought about how the woman could approach him silently while wearing those high-heeled boots, an inexplicable chill quietly entered his lungs. Shimizu Hiroki subconsciously took a step back to the left, only to find a hard concrete wall behind him.

The deli area was located in a corner of the store. He was currently trapped in a corner surrounded by the deli counter, the concrete wall, and a strange woman in a black windbreaker. Such a narrow space was not even enough for Yuki Shimizu to stand up straight.

However, the other party did not seem to notice the awkward look on his face at all, and had no intention of giving in. He just continued to stare at him with an aggressive gaze that had no sense of boundaries.

Shimizu Hiroki felt a little unhappy about the woman's inexplicable behavior, but adhering to the professional ethics of a waiter, he still showed a polite and friendly smile, "How can I help you?"

The woman stared at him for a while, seemed a little hesitant, and then asked, "Do you have any cakes for sale?"

Yuki Shimizu was stunned for a moment. Only then did he notice that the woman was wearing a black mask, which covered her face, which had made him curious because of her sexy and hot back.

He nodded quickly and replied, "What flavor do you want?"

"Strawberry."

The woman answered briefly. Her voice was cold, just like her dark eyes that were as deep as a well and had no bottom. It was impossible to detect any emotion in them.

However, this cold and aloof woman with a forest-style style ordered a sweet and gentle strawberry cake. Such a contrast inevitably makes people feel a little disconnected.

Hiroki Shimizu quickly put his thoughts to rest. He had worked part-time in many service-oriented places and received guests with all kinds of strange styles. As long as the other party would not cause trouble to other guests and did not violate the safety and order regulations of the store, then everything would never go wrong with the customer-first concept.

He quickly recovered from his gaffe and displayed considerable professionalism.

“The store has freshly-ordered strawberry cheesecake and strawberry mousse cake… However, according to the feedback from customers, the strawberry cheesecake seems a bit too sweet, while the strawberry mousse cake has a good reputation. There is also a strawberry and hazelnut combination cake flavor…”

"I want strawberry mousse cake."

The woman suddenly spoke up, interrupting Shimizu Hiroki. She moved back to make a small opening and finally let Shimizu Hiroki out of the corner.

Hiroki Shimizu put down the basket of specially selected beef bento in his hand and took the woman to the counter selling strawberry mousse cake. The woman just took a quick look and casually picked out a strawberry cake that was big enough to be a birthday cake and went to the cashier to pay.

After Shimizu Hiroki handed the change and the packaged cake to the woman, he was about to continue cleaning up the cooked lunch boxes that had just been delayed, but he never expected the woman to speak to him again.

“Would you like to taste it together?”

The behavior of this fashionable and trendy woman in front of him was simply incomprehensible. Shimizu Hiroki was already in a bad mood, so he naturally kept his distance and shook his head to refuse.

"I'm sorry, it's my business hours now and I can't do anything non-work related."

After hearing Shimizu Hiroki's excuse, the woman turned her head and looked around the store. It was obvious that there was no one in the convenience store at the moment.

She frowned slightly, which was the first time that emotion showed on the woman's face, but she didn't say anything else, as if the invitation just now was just a polite courtesy.

Shimizu Hiroki saw the woman leave the cash register and walk towards the store door. The strange and cold atmosphere lingering around her finally dissipated slowly.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the woman stop at the door of the store, find a rest area, put the cake on the table, then sit on a stool and turn to look in the direction of the cashier counter where he was.

The look in the woman's dark eyes was extremely serious and focused, as if she was cutting through his flesh and blood. An inexplicable pressure was hovering in his heart. The woman was observing his every move. His originally free hands and feet now seemed as heavy as if they were shackled.

Shimizu Hiroki looked back, but the woman did not avoid his gaze. She looked at him as a matter of course, without any waves of emotion in her eyes.

It was as if just by looking at Yuuki Shimizu like this, she could absorb some essential nutrients for her body and use them to feed the surging desire in her heart.

What a weird woman.

Hiroki Shimizu muttered a few words in his heart. He couldn't just rush up to call the police and claim that the other party had molested him with a horrible and obscene look. Unfortunately, this was not his version. Wouldn't this be counterproductive?

So, thinking that it was better to do less than more, he had to lower his head and do his own thing.

When he finished settling the remaining accounts and looked up again to relieve the pain in his neck, he found that the woman still hadn't left, but was just looking into the darkness outside the window.

The raindrops drifting in the wind were lost in the darkness. The lonely reflection of the woman fell on the window that used the darkness as a curtain. The intact pink strawberry mousse cake curled up beside the woman. Such a picture made the cold and indifferent woman look somewhat pitiful and sympathetic.

He was probably a corporate slave who missed the subway and didn't want to pay the high taxi fare, so he came to spend the night in the rest area of a nearby 24-hour convenience store. This is what Shimizu Hiroki, who had nothing to do, guessed.

The phone on the cash register vibrated, and Shimizu Yuki looked down.

Unexpectedly, at such a late hour, Mina Sakai actually replied to his message immediately.

"No problem, I'll send the address to Qingshui right away, and we'll see you there. Don't worry too much, I will definitely find a way to clear Qingshui of the grievances, and please believe me!"

93. Unbearable to look back & Mina Sakai's rescue plan

After handing over his work to his colleagues at the convenience store, Hiroki Shimizu changed out of his work clothes and left the convenience store carrying the expired bento that he had taken off the shelf.

Before leaving, Shimizu Hiroki couldn't help but take a few more glances at the strange woman sitting in the rest area. The other person's senses were as sharp as a wild animal. She noticed Shimizu Hiroki's gaze at the first moment, and retracted her attention from the dark night outside the window, and looked back.

That kind of cold and silent gaze was really uncomfortable. Shimizu Yuuki looked away and walked alone into the night with sporadic drizzle.

I sat there until a thin ray of sunlight leaked out from the sky outside the convenience store. The raindrops falling from the thick clouds became more and more fierce, and slowly turned into a heavy downpour.

After picking up the strawberry cake on the table, Kurono Yukie stood up and was about to leave the convenience store when she suddenly heard a voice calling from behind.

"Sir, wait a moment, wait a moment!"

Also frightened by the woman's cold and emotionless eyes, the poor male clerk swallowed his saliva and groaned inwardly.

Seeing that the woman didn't say anything, he had to continue: "Dear guest, it's raining heavily outside, please bring an umbrella."

"No, thanks."

Kurono Yukie thanked him stiffly, turned around and prepared to walk directly into the rain.

"You'd better take it, my guest. If you get wet, you might catch a cold."

"I clearly said I didn't need it..."

Kurono Yukie turned around again, her tall and muscular body still not being covered by her loose coat. She looked up at the clerk, a huge sense of oppression and an unspoken coldness swept over her.

But the coldness was fleeting, and she restrained herself, staring at her legs which began to tremble. The clerk asked, "How much?"

"No, it's free. The clerk told me to give it to you, Miss."

The male clerk, who was not very tall to begin with, shook his head hurriedly. If Shimizu Hiroki had not been often willing to cover for him, he would not have been so nosy as to agree to such a commission.

At the same time, he also had the mentality of watching for fun, wanting to see what kind of special woman was this who could make a handsome man like Shimizu Hiroki shy and dare not express his admiration for her, and even privately entrust him to do a favor for her.

But now the male clerk has great doubts about Shimizu Hiroki's personal habits. He is hungry... really hungry. Could it be that there are so many women pursuing Shimizu Hiroki that he has completely lost interest in ordinary women?

Even if the woman in front of him has a beautiful and delicate face, and her figure is exaggerated to the point of being astonishing, but if you think that a woman who makes you feel terrified at first glance is very cute and beautiful, and even want to develop a romantic relationship with her, he can only say respect and blessing, and remember to set a safe word.

Yukie Kurono took the umbrella from the male clerk, ignoring the terrified look in his eyes as if he was looking at a monster. She turned around and recalled the direction in which Hiroki Shimizu left.

Her thin and sexy lips were pursed, and a dark and deep color flowed in the depths of her slowly shrinking black pupils. The umbrella in her hand made a creaking sound as her palm tightened unconsciously, as if the frame was on the verge of breaking.

She looked like a big cat that had confirmed the presence of its prey and whose entire body was tense with extreme excitement.

"What's his name?"

Kurono Yukie spoke up and stopped the clerk who was about to leave as if he was escaping.

……

Hiroki Shimizu did not return to his original rental house. He was worried that extremists whose thoughts had been distorted by rumors spread by people on the forum would be lurking nearby and might even want to lynch him offline and execute him on the spot.

He used the little money left in his pocket to find an Internet cafe, where he rested for about two hours and ate a lunch box that was a little sour but tasted good. His originally depressed spirit became much healthier and fuller.
