Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

The woman couldn't help but stamp her feet.

"I'm not going to drink anymore!"

Only then did Oreki Gen smiled slightly.

"Why don't you go home and rest early?"

"...I'm going to eat! I'm going shopping! Who wants you to care?"

The woman turned away angrily.

Oreki Gen reminded the other party.

"If you regret it and go drink, I can't stop you. It's up to you."

"I already told you I won't go, you're so annoying!!"

The woman left angrily.

Oreki Gen shook his head in amusement.

In fact, it is not that he is meddling in other people's affairs, but Oreki Gen doesn't want him to develop the habit of using alcohol to avoid problems. When the problem comes, will he still be able to drink? They all need to be faced.

Besides, he didn't want the other party to really get into any accidents because of drinking in the past few days.

Besides...what's so good about drinking?

The woman who had already left the convenience store angrily was not really angry at all. She just didn't want the other party to see the blush on her face.

After a while, he took out his cell phone and sighed.

"Um... Youmei. Sorry, something happened to me suddenly and I can't come to drink. Sorry, maybe next time. Ah? Tomorrow... is not possible either. I'm very busy these days. I'll call you when I'm free. Sorry, sorry..."

When Qingye Yuri hung up the phone.

She let out a long sigh, looked up, and a look of confusion appeared on her pretty face.

She lowered her head and looked at her toes hesitantly.

"Why should we let him control us...whatever he says is the truth?"

"...But why can't I seem to get angry at all?"

"...I don't think I like the feeling of being controlled by him?"

Qingye Yuri suddenly became panicked.

After thinking of this possibility, my heart began to beat wildly involuntarily.

She immediately covered her face in panic.

"No, no... I was only disciplined because I had no choice. He didn't discipline me. I was the one who disciplined myself. It was self-discipline!!"

Of course, Oreki Gen didn't know what these women were thinking.

He is not good at guessing these things, and he is too lazy to guess. Guessing is nothing but pushing himself into the fire pit. He will guess women's minds when he has nothing to do. Do you understand that thing?

As a worker now, he has only one goal: looking forward to getting off work.

It seems my patience paid off and the time to get off work finally arrived.

After changing his clothes, changing his shift, and calming himself down, Oreki Gen prepared to go home happily.

To have fun, he even brought back a bottle of Coke from the convenience store.

Well, it's still cold.

Oreki Xian was just about to curl up comfortably on the sofa when he started to check his phone, trying to give likes to those internet celebrities who worked hard to dance for him.

But as soon as I took out my phone, a call came in.

Some surprises.

This call...was actually from Shota Matsuyama.

Oreki Gen was a little puzzled. Why would the other party call him at this time of the day?

He hesitated for a moment and immediately answered the phone.

"Hello? What's the matter with you calling at this time?"

Oreki Gen thought that the other party might have called him on a whim to play games or something.

But unexpectedly, Shota Matsuyama began to hesitate.

“I am… that… Oreki…”

Oreki Gen felt a little strange.

This is unlike Shota Matsuyama's character. He is a fairly straightforward person, and his relationship with me is close enough for him to speak out anything he wants.

There's no need to be so hesitant.

"Just say whatever you want to say...Are you going to confess your feelings to me?"

"What the hell! No, no!"

"What's that for? You can't possibly ask me to borrow money, right?"

Oreki Gen took a sip of Coke with amusement.

"I... really want to borrow some money from you."

Oreki Gen almost spit out his Coke.

I have a bad mouth, so whatever I say will come true, right?

"Borrow money? What did you do to require a loan?"

"I...I have something urgent, really urgent, so I want to borrow some money from you. Is that okay?"

Oreki Gen frowned.

"How much do you want to borrow?"

"That... fifty thousand..."

"Fifty thousand? What do you want to borrow fifty thousand for? Brother Xiang...you are a high school student, and you suddenly need fifty thousand, what do you want to do?"

Oreki Gen felt something was wrong.

This is not an amount that a normal high school student would borrow.

Even if he paid to play games, he wouldn't spend that much.

Even if something happened at home, there was definitely no need for him to borrow money everywhere, so Oreki Gen came to the conclusion in a short time.

Not right.

Matsuyama Shouta on the other side hesitated for a moment.

"No, nothing. If you don't want to lend it to me, I'll go find a way. Sorry to bother you..."

"Wait, I didn't say I wouldn't lend it to you."

"That..."

"Are you just in a hurry now?"

"...It's quite urgent."

"Then can you come out now? I have cash on me and I haven't had time to save my salary. I'll come out and give it to you."

"That...okay then."

The two agreed on a place and hung up the phone.

Oreki Xian put away his phone and stood up. He drank all the Coke in one breath, picked up his coat, put on his shoes and prepared to go out.

Without any hesitation.

In his opinion, fifty thousand... must not be a small matter if Shota Matsuyama asked him to borrow money.

I am indeed a person who doesn't like trouble and I am not willing to meddle in other people's affairs.

But if I had to watch Shota Matsuyama fall into some possible abyss, I couldn't do it.

There is just one problem.

The troubles I have encountered...have they reached the point where they are no longer limited to women alone?

You don't want to play with men, do you?

You better stop being such a pervert!

Chapter 72: I won't harm you

The place where the two people met was not far away.

In fact, the two people lived not far from each other, so more than ten minutes later, they met in a small park close to Lansu District.

In the cold wind, Shota Matsuyama seemed a little hesitant.

This reminded Oreki Gen of something, and that was Matsuyama Shouta throughout the whole day... He seemed listless and didn't joke with him like usual.

But he did not notice his abnormality and strangeness at that time, because he had a lot of troubles, and when he had a rare chance to relax, he couldn't help but relax.

But I am also innocent.

Who could have thought that there would always be these inexplicable things happening around us?

Shota Matsuyama walked towards him and saw the boy sitting on a bench waiting for him.

Oreki Gen was wearing a large windbreaker, and his handsome and stern face made him look like a killer in some movies.

"Um...you didn't wait long, did you?"

Shota Matsuyama no longer has the playful smile of the past. Now his smile seems a little guilty, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

Oreki Gen looked at the other person and said.

"Let's sit down and talk first."

Shota Matsuyama hesitated but finally sat down, looking extremely flustered.

It turns out that men are easier to understand. Besides, it is difficult for a boy of this age to keep things in his heart.

"Talk...about what?"

he asked.

Oreki Xian looked at him and said, "You asked me to borrow money. Fifty thousand is not a small amount. Don't you think we need to talk about what you want to do?"

A hint of hesitation appeared on Shota Matsuyama's face.

"This... do I have to tell you? I assure you, it's very important, and I'm not going to use it for any bad purpose... I will definitely return it to you."

Oreki Gen was staring straight into the other person's eyes.

"You have to tell me, otherwise I can't lend you this fifty thousand. You have to at least let me know what happened. Did you get into trouble outside?"

Shota Matsuyama was stunned for a moment, then looked away guiltily and prepared to stand up.

"Well... forget it. I won't ask you to borrow it. I'll think of another way."

But the moment he was about to stand up, Oreki Gen grabbed his hand and forced him to sit back down.

Suddenly, Shota Matsuyama panicked and tried to break free, but he didn't expect that the boy was so strong that he couldn't break free. He could only be forced to look into Oreki Gen's eyes.

“Oreki…it’s really nothing, just let it go, I won’t ask you to borrow it…”

Oreki Gen shook his head.

"It's hard to trust you like this. With our relationship, you should just tell me if you have something to say. I don't want to wait until something happens to you before I know what happened."

"What can happen to me? I really have nothing to do...Don't force me."

Shota Matsuyama still wants to escape.

This made Oreki Gen even more certain that the other party must have encountered something.

He frowned.

"Brother Xiang. As your friend, and someone who knows you fairly well, I can't leave you alone when I know something's wrong with you. If you don't tell me what happened, I can't help you at all. If you tell me, maybe there's still a chance. I don't want you to do anything stupid anyway."

Seeing that Shota Matsuyama didn't say anything and didn't dare to look at himself, he was in hesitation.

Oreki Gen took out a thick envelope from his pocket and presented it to the other person.
