Shimizu Hiroki could almost imagine Erika pouting in confusion. He shook his head and laughed, "Actually, I'm getting off in two stops."

After hearing this, Erika immediately had an idea and replied in seconds: "So soon? Why don't I go with Yuuki-kun and buy some daily necessities at the supermarket."

"That's settled, I'll go to the dessert shop to buy some goodies, and then we'll meet there."

After all, the dessert shop is neither too far nor too close to their community, and it's not worth making a special trip just for snacks. But if they could go shopping together and occasionally escape from the monotonous after-get off work life, it would be a nice pastime, and the couple both showed great interest.

After agreeing on the time and place, the two also made a special agreement that if they didn't see each other, they would remember to keep in touch by phone at any time.

After temporarily losing contact, Hiroki Shimizu's train arrived at the station. After he got out of the station, he went straight to the handmade dessert shop that his wife had been thinking about.

"Yes, please pack a copy of what I just mentioned..."

"Is there anything else you need?"

"Have you sold out the new strawberry-filled mille-feuille in your store?"

"Yes, we just made a batch, and soon only these two were left."

"I want them all, let's pay together."

"Okay, eh~ Haven't you been here for a long time, sir? I thought your wife didn't like our desserts anymore!"

The owner of this dessert shop is a short, fat, middle-aged man with a very friendly smile. He recognized Yuki Shimizu at a glance, who hadn't been to the shop for a long time.

"How could that be? She has recovered a lot recently. Once her appetite got better, she started thinking about your desserts. She urged me to buy them today." Shimizu Hiroki hurriedly explained with a smile.

"That's great, that's great..."

The short and fat man deftly weighed and packed the desserts that Shimizu Hiroki ordered, and the portion he gave was obviously larger than that for other customers.

Of course, Hiroki Shimizu saw it all. He looked up at a black and white photo that the man had placed in the corner of the counter. The young woman in the photo was obviously gone.

He once chatted with the shop owner about this puzzled look, and roughly learned that the two opened this dessert shop after their marriage and lived a happy and sweet life.

However, the tragic news that the woman was seriously ill soon after completely shattered their bright and beautiful future. Not only did they spend all their savings, but the woman passed away soon after, leaving the man alone to run the shop using the dessert-making skills that his wife had desperately taught him before her death.

A bleak, sad, yet pitiful and sympathetic story of pure love, it almost instantly aroused deep resonance and fear in Hiroki Shimizu, who was always worried about his sick wife at home at that time.

"It's packed. When your wife is fully recovered, be sure to tell me. I promise to make a big cake for you and your wife!"

Shimizu Hiroki accepted the favor with a smile. He was taking out his wallet and counting the money when a tall woman suddenly squeezed out from beside him. The air around him seemed to freeze at that moment, and a huge oppressive force inexplicably enveloped and suppressed him from above.

"Hey, woman, why are you cutting in line? Get behind me!"

"Yeah, yeah, what are you doing? Do you understand the rules?"

"That's too shameless!"

Someone was shouting at the back of the team, but after the tall woman looked back, the voices of opposition suddenly died down.

On the other side, Shimizu Hiroki was in a hurry to get the dessert and meet Erika who was rushing over here, and was unaware of the conflict here.

He stepped aside, giving up the other half of the counter, and was about to pick up the desserts on the counter and leave.

Until the woman placed a pale and cold hand on the back of his hand, the slender arm wrapped in a black tights suddenly stretched out extremely clean and beautiful muscle lines, and the burst of power was so great that it temporarily suppressed Shimizu Hiroki, an unsuspecting adult male.

The woman looked at the shop owner and spoke calmly.

"I want one too. This, uh, this strawberry thing..."

167. Three Variations on Plum Blossoms, Shimizu Yuuki is as depressed as a dead tree

"My dear customer, I am so sorry that we have sold out all the strawberries today. How about we come back next time?"

The short and fat shop owner rubbed his palms together, smiling widely, and it seemed that he knew how to deal with these unreasonable customers.

While perfunctorily dealing with the female customer, the shop owner also gave Shimizu Hiroki a few glances, indicating that he could leave first.

But the man suddenly noticed that Shimizu Hiroki, who was talking and laughing with him just now, had turned unusually pale and ugly, and his dark pupils hidden by his forehead hair were shrinking violently, suddenly emitting bursts of fierce light.

He was completely different from the gentle, humble and polite Mr. Shimizu in his impression. He didn't look like a married husband who took good care of his wife and family, but a vicious and ferocious criminal.

"Mr.... Mr. Shimizu? What's wrong with you?"

The man's concerned shout mixed with the noisy waves in the store and rushed into Shimizu Yuuki's ears like a wave. After a while, the whole dessert shop became eerily quiet again.

He heard the rapid heartbeat in his chest, pounding like a drum.

Hiroki Shimizu turned his head with difficulty and moved his sight slowly to the left.

From the moment the woman reached out and touched him, he didn't even need to see her face or clothes... his nerves, which had been tortured and abused by the evil women to the point of being extremely sensitive and fragile, had a violent physiological reaction, as if an indelible, bloody mark was engraved deep in his flesh, causing deep pain.

This fear far exceeded the oppression brought by Mina Sakai and Mieko Arisu, because Hiroki Shimizu knew very well the other party's character, style, and the indifference and toughness that would not take his thoughts into consideration at all.

However, Shimizu Hiroki still held on to meaningless hope, which was ridiculous. It was not until he had prayed countless times in his heart that he could see the woman's face clearly.

The other party seemed to be afraid that Shimizu Hiroki would not recognize him, and had no intention of hiding or disguising himself.

Only the pair of dark pupils that were exactly the same as Shimizu Hiroki's were constantly fixed on the married husband whose calves were trembling slightly, clearly reflecting the despair and helplessness on the man's face.

His head suddenly buzzed and Shimizu Hiroki turned his gaze away from the woman's face in a daze, as if he didn't want to face this cold and cruel reality. However, he couldn't muster up the courage to leave the dessert shop without permission.

The woman noticed all of Shimizu Hiroki's strange behavior, and seemed to be very satisfied that even after seven years... the man was still in this state. Her tone became much softer, and the corners of her thin and cold lips raised an imperceptible arc, but she quickly restrained it.

"I want the same one as his now..."

"I told you it's sold out. This gentleman came here specifically to buy it for his wife. Why do you have to take away someone else's favorite item?"

As soon as the shop owner finished speaking, the smile on the woman's face disappeared and her tone became cold again.

"why?"

"First come, first served! There's no reason for this kind of thing." The shop owner would not tolerate such unreasonable customers. He reminded Shimizu Yuuki, "Sir, you can leave now. Don't be bothered by this kind of thing. By the way, please give my regards to your wife."

However, Hiroki Shimizu had no time to pay attention to the shop owner's well-intentioned advice. He knew very well that the woman's question was directed at him. He was unsure of the woman's temper, so he did not dare to make a big deal out of it in such a public place.

Damn it, damn it, damn it!

One is Mina Sakai, and the other is Mieko Arisu. Isn’t it enough that these two women are haunting him?

Why, why won't you let him go?

Why, after seven years, his body still reacts...

Endless sorrow swept through Shimizu Hiroki's body. He angrily questioned this unfair world. He had paid so much effort and price, and now his life was finally back on track...

Hiroki Shimizu's right hand, which was shaking unconsciously the whole time, tightly grasped the packaging bag of the dessert he bought for his beloved wife, and finally he managed a forced and ugly smile.

"Just give her one of mine, it's okay."

He tried hard not to look at the woman. He just put the dessert in his hand on the counter, then turned around and left the crowded dessert shop.

The shop owner couldn't help but sigh, Mr. Shimizu really was too good-tempered. In today's world where morals are declining, kind-hearted people are easily bullied.

Then the short fat man looked unfriendly and asked reluctantly, "Do you need help packing it?"

Kurono Yukie ignored him. She picked up the strawberry mille-feuille on the counter and followed Shimizu Hiroki's disappearing back, clinging to him reluctantly.

……

Tokyo seems to be getting hotter these days. Even near dusk, the sun setting in the west is still very scorching.

The air that hit my nose was mixed with a burnt and rotten smell. Many people went out to eat and shop in the evening. Everyone was wiping the sweat from their foreheads and complaining about the Tokyo city that was getting hotter and more crowded every year.

In such a crowd, no one noticed a man in a suit and tie with a panicked and numb face who squeezed in, as if there was some vicious and brutal predator behind him, but the man did not dare to look back.

After experiencing the two previous evil women appearing in his life without warning, and what just happened in the dessert shop, Shimizu Hiroki has now completely accepted his fate. He no longer naively and ridiculously deceives himself that these are just foolish fantasies.

But Shimizu Hiroki still instinctively wanted to escape. He didn't want to be caught by the woman, so he hid in the crowd and tried his best to conceal his whereabouts.

Did he escape just like that?

Shimizu Hiroki found it unbelievable and got a moment's respite from it.

An unknown amount of time passed like this, and he clearly felt that he had walked a long distance towards home. However, the uncomfortable feeling of being stared at and coveted by wild beasts not only did not disappear, but became even stronger.

Yuki Shimizu pursed his dry and cracked lips, calmly took out his mobile phone and edited the message. After clicking send, this message for help would soon be delivered to the woman he was extremely reluctant to contact.

But in the next second, his innate keen perception discovered something wrong. Several faces in casual clothes kept lingering in his field of vision, as if they had been following him since he left the dessert shop.

Shimizu Hiroki shuddered and suddenly lost all his composure.

He tensed all his muscles, turned around with difficulty as if his heart was dead, and saw a tall and fit woman in black leaning lazily at the intersection of a secluded alley, looking at him from a distance across the crowded street.

At this moment, the fear that had been lingering in my heart for a long time suddenly disappeared.

There was only one thought in his mind that made his back shiver under the scorching sun. Shimizu Yuuki suddenly thought that his frail wife at home seemed to be coming towards this side without knowing anything...

167. Inner monologue? Kurono Yukie becomes the person she hates the most

[The person named Shimizu Hiroki is in Tokyo right now. 】

Kurono Yukie got the news from the woman. At first she was skeptical, as if she was in an unreal dream.

Over the years, she has never given up looking for Shimizu Yuki, and she has always gone to remote and deserted places that are suitable for hiding and escaping, but in the end she has found nothing.

Of course, this did not do anything to support her in giving up, except making her fall into even more crazy obsession.

If it weren't for the fact that this matter was too time-consuming and laborious, and the level of meticulousness and caution that she wanted to turn the entire island country upside down, there would even be some obstacles that she couldn't explain that hindered her and buried all traces left behind by Shimizu Hiroki's disappearance.

Therefore, she had to spend time doing some work serving the rich and powerful to earn enough money. After a while, seven years passed in a blink of an eye, but she had not even set foot in half of the places.

Sometimes Kurono Yukie even suspected that Shimizu Hiroki had left the island country, like a captive bird freed from a cage, spreading its wings and fleeing to the vast sky with lingering fear. That was truly the vastness that she could never find in her entire life.

She also vaguely understood that she was not the only one who had been searching all these years. All the women who had participated in the search at the beginning had not given up.

It's just that some people hold on to remorse and annoyance, and want to make up for their past mistakes, while others are driven by the flames of revenge and become hysterical...

Ultimately, they all want the same thing, and Kurono Yukie is no exception.

As for the resolute revenge launched by Shimizu Hiroki after enduring humiliation, she still did not have much feeling about the fact that she was reduced from the young leader of a gang to a servile and fawning extra, and could not say that she felt hatred or anger at all.

As long as Yuuki Shimizu is willing, she can abandon unimportant things such as identity, status, and wealth at any time at the command.

To this day, Kurono Yukie still can't understand why Shimizu Hiroki hates her so much.

Obviously for him, she was almost completely obedient, met all his requests unconditionally, and made so many compromises, just so that he could keep his eyes on her for a while longer. She even allowed those other women to ride on him at will, feasting on him, leaving him covered with pungent and unpleasant odors.

It was not until later that someone proposed that everyone give up the fight and agree to jointly develop the rebellious and beautiful boy Shimizu Hiroki.

Kurono Yukie admitted that she was probably just bewildered for a moment. After all, when those women tried to get her to join them, they offered her temptations that she could not refuse.

However, this is all closely related to Shimizu Hiroki's cold attitude towards her. Kurono Yukie considers herself not to be a good-tempered and patient person.

Her possessiveness and desire for control, which were deeply hated by Shimizu Hiroki and scolded countless times, were just a way for her to express her love, and she had no intention of changing.

However, not long ago, in a high-end hotel in Osaka, Yukie Kurono, who was on duty, met Mina Sakai who was on a business trip.

I have to say that this woman who smiles all day long has perfected her acting skills over the years. If she hadn't received the news in advance, she would probably have really believed the news that Shimizu Hiroki was dead.

In addition, after subsequent investigations, she discovered that not only did Mina Sakai go straight to Tokyo after returning from abroad, but another evil woman, Mieko Arisu, was also recently in the huge Tokyo, as if she had found something.

Once a gap is found in a situation that was originally hopeless and almost hopeless, subsequent progress will naturally be unstoppable.

She sent people to track and investigate Mina Sakai and Mieko Arisu. Strictly speaking, it was not a secret at all. These two women who had finally found relief after a long drought had no intention of hiding anything. They used Shimizu Hiroki, who had finally returned to their control, without any restraint.

Judging from the intelligence captured from the few well-trained female subordinates in black, Hiroki Shimizu was violated and humiliated countless times by these two evil women regardless of time and place.

This is just the service using the mouth, hands and feet. As for what they do later in some private and enclosed places that cannot be peeped into, it is still unknown.

But the great joy that she had felt when she finally saw the beautiful boy she had been dreaming of through the photo disappeared in an instant. Kurono Yukie only saw a corporate slave, Shimizu Hiroki, who was dressed in a suit and tie, carrying a briefcase, and who had become submissive and submissive for something. He did not dare to resist at all, but allowed the two evil women to slaughter him at will.

The man who was once a beautiful boy seemed to have lost all his youthful vigor, kindness and good character, and was completely different from the Shimizu Hiroki that Kurono Yukie had in mind.

How come it's been seven years, there hasn't been any improvement at all?

Kurono Yukie was a little confused at first, but she soon discovered the crux of the matter, which was the real reason why Mina Sakai and Mieko Arisu were able to control Hiroki Shimizu so easily!

Another woman, an ordinary wife named Erika Shiina, but her husband... is a man named Hiroki Shimizu.

After learning everything behind this from beginning to end, for a moment, Kurono Yukie uncontrollably empathized with Mina Sakai and Mieko Arisu, and understood the real reason why they were so hysterical and almost crazy.

Unprecedented resentment, anger, and regret dominated the nerves of rational thinking. Kurono Yukie hated herself for not being ruthless enough to snatch Shimizu Hiroki from those evil women, but instead listened to their instigation and chose to go along with them, leading to the current situation.

However, it was not too late now. When Shimizu Hiroki disappeared without any warning, and she searched for him in vain, she hated him the most... Kurono Yukie swore that if she found Shimizu Hiroki again, she would break the man's hands and feet and tie him to her side forever with iron chains...

This is the real Kurono Yukie, the one that Shimizu Hiroki hates so much that he wants to turn around and run away when he sees her, and is unwilling to even give her a glance.

After countless deep breaths, Kurono Yukie gradually suppressed these crazy thoughts that were eroding her rationality. However, she really couldn't find a suitable reason or excuse to appear in front of Shimizu Hiroki to prove that she had really changed her ways.

So, for the next whole week, Kurono Yukie did the despicable things that she would never do before and that she despised the most. She was like a lingering female ghost, hiding in a shameful corner, following and spying on Shimizu Hiroki.

On one hand, she envied the gentle and beautiful woman in Shimizu Yuki's arms, but on the other hand, she couldn't let go of the cold, ringing chains in her hands...
