Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 463

"The rooftop?" The maid paused for a moment, then seemed to realize something and tentatively asked, "Was that phone call from Madam?"

Kitahara Natsuhiro just received a phone call and then started asking about the rooftop.

Then there is only one possibility: it was Madam who called Kitahara Natsuhiro. As for Sonoko, it is definitely impossible!
After all, they were still playing pool in the pool hall.

“That’s right!” Kitahara Natsuyu nodded and said, “It was Mrs. Suzuki who called me just now. It seems she wanted to thank me and asked me to come over.”

"Thank you?"

The maid nodded, not continuing the topic, and then led Kitahara Natsuyu toward the rooftop of the Suzuki Manor.

She knew why the lady wanted to thank Kitahara Natsuhiro; it was all because of what happened at the 60th anniversary celebration.

The entire Suzuki family knew about this, and Tomoko Suzuki didn't try to hide it.

After all, the maids who work in this house are all trusted confidantes of the Suzuki family. If they weren't trusted confidantes, they wouldn't be able to work here at all.

If you convert it to Chinese characters, these people would be household servants in ancient times!

Closer to home.

Kitahara Natsuhiro arrived at the rooftop of the Suzuki Manor, led by a maid.

At this moment, Tomoko Suzuki was sitting on a chair on the rooftop, sipping sake and looking somewhat sullen. There were also some side dishes on the table, each small in portion but quite numerous, covering a wide variety of items.

And there were no maids serving her, as if she wanted to enjoy this solitude.

Moreover, sitting here, you can see the stars in the night sky, but the stars are very faint because the light from the ground is so strong that it blocks the starlight.

"Madam, Mr. Kitahara has arrived!" The maid approached Suzuki Tomoko and bowed as she spoke.

Upon hearing this, Tomoko Suzuki put down her small sake cup, stood up, and said, "Mr. Kitahara."

Kitahara Natsuhiro walked over, reached out and grasped Suzuki Tomoko's hand, which was as delicate and lustrous as white jade, and smiled slightly: "Good evening, Mrs. Suzuki, thank you so much for your hospitality today."

Tomoko Suzuki lowered her hand and pointed to the seat next to her, saying, "Let's sit down and talk!"

"it is good."

Kitahara Natsuhiro did not refuse, smiled and sat down in the chair.

At that moment, he and Tomoko Suzuki were only a small table apart.

"Mina, you can go downstairs now. I'll call you if I need anything." At this moment, Tomoko Suzuki looked at the maid beside her and said softly.

“Yes, Madam!” The maid named Mina bowed slightly and slowly left the place.

After she left, only she and Kitahara Natsuhiro remained.

At this moment, Kitahara Natsuyu also withdrew his gaze: "So her name is Mina, that's a really nice name."

Although this maid wasn't the most beautiful among the many maids at Suzuki Manor, she was still a great beauty, even by outside standards.

But that's normal, after all, this is the Suzuki Estate, the core of the Suzuki conglomerate, so naturally there's no shortage of beautiful women like this.

Such a beautiful woman would certainly have no shortage of suitors outside, perhaps even quite a few, but in the Suzuki Manor, she was just an unknown maid.

The Suzuki zaibatsu is truly terrifying!

If he could, he would like to become a chaebol, but there is little hope for him in this life, though it might be possible in the next.

However, being a Gengar, who knows when his next life will come, so he should enjoy life while he can!

“Mina is indeed very good. She has been working for our family for almost five years. She is a good girl!” Tomoko Suzuki smiled, picked up the glassware next to her, and poured a clear liquid from it into a small wine glass: “Please.”

"Thank you." Kitahara Natsumi picked up his glass, took a sip, and said, "It tastes pretty good."

"It's just not bad, is it?" Tomoko Suzuki laughed.

She couldn't tell that Kitahara Natsuhiro didn't know how to appreciate wine; he was just someone who drank it casually.

As for the quality of the wine, they probably couldn't tell the difference, because for such people, wine is just wine, nothing more.

In this respect, Kitahara Natsuhiro is the same as Mouri Kogoro.

While Kogoro Mouri is an alcoholic, he can't distinguish between good and bad alcohol; he simply enjoys drinking.

Furthermore, Ran gave Kogoro Mouri cheap red wine she bought from the store several times, claiming it was high-end red wine, but he couldn't tell the difference at all and still drank it happily!

And this is true for the vast majority of people; those who truly appreciate wine are ultimately a minority!

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu was not embarrassed: "Actually, I don't know how to taste wine, I just know how to drink it. I can't tell whether it's good or bad, but I can tell very clearly whether it's poisonous."

As a Gengar, identifying poisons is one of its specialties. Even if it eats them, there will be no problem. Poisons will only make its toxins more potent.

Furthermore, his poison now surpasses any known poison in the world; contact with it is fatal unless you have an antidote or are a Pokémon. Otherwise, you may have to say goodbye to this world.

Of course, there is no antidote, because no one has ever received the toxins from Kitahara Natsuyu's body, not even Ai Haibara.

He wouldn't just take out something so dangerous and let people study it.

However, the toxins in his body were not invisibly deadly; they could still be detected, and were far inferior to the aptx.4869 developed by the Miyano family.

However, in terms of toxicity, it is more than ten thousand times more toxic than APTX-4869!

"Is it poisonous?" Tomoko Suzuki was taken aback.

“Yes!” Kitahara Natsuyu pointed to his nose and said, “My nose has been quite sensitive since I was a child. I can detect poison, even colorless and odorless poison!”

That means there's no known toxin in the world that he can't discover.

However, I was poisoned by Eri's cooking when I was at her house last time, and I even learned a deadly poison technique. It was really unexpected!

In other words, Eri Kisaki's understanding is more potent than any real poison. An ordinary person would definitely end up in the hospital if they took it, but Eri Kisaki herself would be fine.

Because she eats it so often, her body has developed immunity and is immune to the harshness of her own food.

It really is a habit that becomes second nature!
"Wow, you actually have such an ability! Mr. Kitahara, you're really amazing!" Tomoko Suzuki exclaimed. "I almost died from poisoning when I was young, and I still feel a bit scared when I think about it now!"

She didn't doubt that Kitahara Natsuhiro was lying, because she knew it was true; she could tell from his words.

Moreover, there is no shortage of extraordinary people and events in this world, so it's not surprising that Kitahara Natsuhiro has this ability.

After all, this is the world of science fiction, where a bullet can travel hundreds of kilometers, let alone this.

However, the fact that Suzuki Tomoko almost died of poisoning when she was young really surprised Kitahara Natsuhiro, and he also knew that what Suzuki Tomoko said was true, and he felt it.

In addition, he also knew that Suzuki Tomoko had just been rebuffed by her husband, Suzuki Shiro, and was feeling rather annoyed, which was why she was drinking alone here and had even called him over.

As for why I called him over, it was partly out of gratitude, and partly because I wanted to confide in someone.

Although Sonoko is Tomoko Suzuki's daughter, there are some things that she can't tell her, even if her eldest daughter isn't home.

As for the other servants in the household, that's even more impossible.

She didn't want her personal matters to become gossip among the servants or even be known by other people.

And her family? She didn't have any family members; they had all left.

So after thinking it over, the only person she could confide in was Kitahara Natsuhiro.

Although she had only known Kitahara Natsuhiro for a short time, she felt that Kitahara Natsuhiro was a reliable man. After all, he was able to admit that he was having affairs with several women, and the women around him were still loyal to him, so Kitahara Natsuhiro must have some ability.

All these factors combined led her to believe that Kitahara Natsuhiro was a friend she could make close friends with.

Of course, she meant being friends with Kitahara Natsuhiro, not any other kind of relationship.

Besides, she's over forty years old. Although she's well-maintained, she's still an old woman. Kitahara Natsuhiro shouldn't be interested in her!
"Mrs. Suzuki, you've actually encountered something like this before?" Kitahara Natsuhiro exclaimed in surprise. "It seems that your Suzuki family has had it tough too."

“Yes,” Tomoko Suzuki sighed. “When I married into the Suzuki family, the Suzuki family wasn’t this big yet; it was just a moderately successful company.”

"Later, under my and Shi Lang's leadership, the company grew bigger and bigger and became what it is today."

"However, times have changed, and we have changed completely."

"and"

Tomoko Suzuki talked on and on, and she also drank quite a bit of alcohol while she was talking.

Kitahara Natsuhiro listened quietly to Suzuki Tomoko's story without interrupting, and even thoughtfully poured her a full glass of wine. He himself enjoyed his drink and snacks while listening, finding it quite pleasant.

After all, the environment here is quite nice and very quiet, and with a beautiful woman by my side, how could I not be happy?

As for Suzuki Tomoko's innermost thoughts, he certainly listened to them.

Overall, Tomoko Suzuki's words were mostly complaints combined with some things she encountered back then.

Due to business competition, Tomoko Suzuki, one of the core members of the Suzuki zaibatsu, naturally became a target.

Back then, the Suzuki Zaibatsu wasn't as powerful as it is now, and while it's easy to dodge a direct attack, it's hard to guard against a hidden one, so she fell victim to it and almost died.

Fortunately, the discovery was timely, and the patient was sent to the hospital for treatment, which saved her life. However, she was left with some lingering health problems.

Hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu had no choice but to accept that real business battles are just that simple and straightforward.

I may not be able to bring down your company in the short term, but I can bring down your company's leader and key figures.

So, they're using poison directly, which means they're hiring someone to assassinate them.

The neon lights of that era were quite chaotic, and the Yakuza were extremely unrestrained, unlike what it is now.

However, there is still darkness there, but most people cannot come into contact with it.

"I'm sorry." Just then, Suzuki Tomoko suddenly realized something and stopped, looking at Kitahara Natsuhiro apologetically: "I've talked too much and caused you trouble."

Despite her strong personality, Tomoko Suzuki also reveals her vulnerable side and soft heart in certain situations.

And that's exactly what happened!
“There.” Kitahara Natsuhiro picked up the small wine glass and held it in mid-air.

Tomoko Suzuki understood, raised her glass, and the two glasses clinked together with a crisp sound before she drank them down in one gulp.

After finishing her drink, Suzuki Tomoko also filled her own and Kitahara Natsumi's cups, and then picked up her chopsticks to eat the side dishes.

Drinking should be accompanied by side dishes, otherwise it's easy to get drunk. However, she had already drunk a bit too much, but it's not a big problem. She used to be someone who could drink a lot without getting drunk.

Now, she only drinks a little, never this much, but because she was feeling down, she drank a bit more today.

It's all Suzuki Shiro's fault!
“I really enjoy hearing these kinds of stories; they evoke a strong sense of nostalgia.” Kitahara Natsuyu looked up at the sky and smiled. “And I can almost feel the grandeur of your time; it must have been incredibly exciting!”

"If I had been born back then, I would definitely be your little fanboy, Mrs. Suzuki!"

"Little fanboy?" Suzuki Tomoko chuckled. "In that case, you don't need to call me Mrs. Suzuki anymore. That's too polite. Just call me Sister Tomoko."

"I'm only a few years older than you, it's not too much to ask you to call me 'sister,' is it?"

How many years older?
Tomoko Suzuki is 43 years old this year, but she still looks very young and beautiful, and has a great temperament. However, she is more than ten years younger than Natsuhiro Kitahara, almost two generations apart.

However, Kitahara Natsuhiro has never cared about this; two generations is two generations.

Besides, times are changing. Don't be a conservative old-fashioned person; you have to keep up with the times!
“Well then, Tomoko-nee.” Kitahara Natsuyu smiled shyly and then called out.

Upon hearing the words "Tomoko-nee" (a term of endearment for a young woman), Suzuki Tomoko felt as if she had become much younger, and the young man suddenly became energetic.

A person's age is also closely related to their environment. If there are many young people in your environment, your mindset will be younger, just like Tomoko Suzuki!
"Hmm, little brother, you have such a sweet tongue!" Tomoko Suzuki laughed. "Now that I've told you my story, why don't you tell me yours too!"

“Stories,” Kitahara Natsuyu said with some distress, “I don’t seem to have many stories. I’m only in my early twenties and don’t have that much experience.”

"In your twenties, you don't have that much experience?" Tomoko Suzuki feigned anger: "Are you saying I'm old?"

Women are particularly sensitive about age, and the older they get, the more sensitive they become; Suzuki Tomoko was no exception. However, Kitahara Natsuhiro could tell that Suzuki Tomoko wasn't angry.

She's not the kind of person who gets angry easily, and she certainly wouldn't get angry over something as trivial as this.

If she were really going to get angry over something so trivial, she would have been driven crazy in the business world long ago. The things people say in the business world can really drive you crazy, and they are all masters of sarcasm, leaving you with nowhere to vent your anger!
Kitahara Natsuhiro isn't even worthy of being called sarcastic or eccentric.

“How could that be!” Kitahara Natsuyu said, “Tomoko-nee-san is still very young, just like a twenty-year-old girl!”

Upon hearing this, Tomoko Suzuki couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

She knew her own age, but hearing this still made her very happy. What woman wouldn't like such words, even if they were lies?

“Although you are still very young, you have quite a bit of experience.” Tomoko Suzuki placed her hands on her knees and said softly, “I’m afraid I’m being a bit presumptuous, but you could tell me how you got together with those women. I’m very curious about that!”

Gossip!

Everyone likes to listen to gossip; there's no one who doesn't like it.

What's more, her daughter is Sonoko, the woman known as the gossip queen at Teitan High School.

Perhaps Sonoko's gossip queen nature was inherited from Tomoko Suzuki, a direct descendant!
"This matter..." Kitahara Natsumi hesitated, "It's not good. I don't mind, but they can't."

"If they find out, they won't let me off the hook!"

Hearing this, Tomoko Suzuki was somewhat disappointed, but she didn't insist, because it did involve other people's privacy and couldn't be said casually.

“However,” Kitahara Natsuyu paused, then continued, “I can talk about some less crucial points without any problem!”

"Yes, yes, I want to hear it!" Tomoko Suzuki immediately became excited.

"Then I'll begin, but you mustn't tell anyone about this."

"Yes, don't worry, I, Suzuki Tomoko, am very tight-lipped, as everyone who knows me knows!" Suzuki Tomoko made a gesture across her mouth as if zipping up a zipper, indicating that she would keep her mouth shut.

Just as he said, Kitahara Natsuhiro focused on talking about unimportant things, making Suzuki Tomoko's heart itch with curiosity.
at the same time.

Inside the billiards room.

Sonoko, Ran, Enomoto Azusa, Koizumi Akako, Miyano Akemi, Ai, Yonehara Akiko, and others had already finished a round of billiards here, and nearly an hour had passed.

By this time, they were quite tired and had sweated a lot.

"We're a little tired. Let's take a break, then go soak in the hot springs, and then we can have a nice good night's sleep!" Sonoko suggested.

“Great! That’s what I thought too!” Xiaolan, her best friend, immediately chimed in. She loved hot springs the most.

It would be even better if there weren't any groping hands in the garden!
"What do you say?" Sonoko asked.

Upon hearing this, the other women exchanged glances and nodded, saying, "That's what we thought too."

"Then let's go over there!"

"Ok!"

Everyone nodded, then placed their rackets on the table and left the room.

A servant will come and tidy up in a moment; Sonoko and the others don't need to do it themselves.

But...
At this moment, Ai approached Akiko Yonehara, and Kitahara Natsuyu's women deliberately lagged behind the group, keeping a slight distance from the little girls in front so they wouldn't hear them.

"Xia Yu went drinking with Suzuki Tomoko, he's definitely up to something bad!" Ai said bluntly.

She had a very good impression of Tomoko Suzuki, feeling like she had a mother figure with her, and even said things like she wanted to be her goddaughter while taking a bath.

However, she did not agree. Some things are not so easy to overcome, and she needed to think about them before giving an answer.

As for why they adopted Ai as their godchild, it's naturally because of Ai's resemblance to Sonoko.

And that's the fate between them. When fate brings you together, you have to cherish it; if you miss it, you really miss it!

Moreover, being able to establish a connection with the Suzuki zaibatsu is something that you can't even ask for!
However, given the current situation, Kitahara Natsuhiro is already trying to win over Suzuki Tomoko. If he succeeds and Ai agrees to become Suzuki Tomoko's goddaughter, then their identities will become complicated.

This is really a headache!

Upon hearing this, Akiko Yonehara, the first wife, smiled slightly, her face showing no resentment or anger.

After all, she already knew what kind of person Kitahara Natsuyu was, and she no longer cared.

Now that her body and soul belong to Kitahara Natsuyu, why would she care?

Moreover, Kitahara Natsuyu is too powerful.
“What can we do? One person can’t handle Xia Yu. Let him be! But,” Mihara Akiko suddenly revealed a sly look on her face and whispered, “It would be really interesting if you were with Suzuki Tomoko.”

Although they are goddaughter and godmother, their relationship will change eventually.
Hearing this, Ai rolled her eyes at Akiko Yonehara and said irritably, "You're a teacher, is it appropriate for you to say such things?"

“Why is it inappropriate!” Akiko Yonehara said matter-of-factly, “Although I am a teacher, it’s vacation now. I’m just an ordinary woman. What’s the problem?”

As long as I have no morals, I will not be morally blackmailed!
Moreover, she's a woman of that age. Usually, women her age have kids old enough to run errands. Although she doesn't have children or get married, she's experienced most of the things women go through, so she can tell dirty jokes with ease. As for this kind of thing, it's just a minor incident.

"."

Ai had nothing to say.

After all, she was a little too thin-skinned, not as thick-skinned as Akiko Yonehara, so she had no choice but to back down.

As for Miyano Akemi, who was standing to the side, she covered her mouth and laughed. She just watched and didn't intend to say anything!
And it's rare to see my sister in such a sorry state, give me more!

"Fine, I'm not talking to you anymore!" Xiao Ai pouted. "In the end, you're Xia Yu's real girlfriend, we're just lovers."

"This isn't something we should be worried about; you're the one who should be having a headache!"

"I don't have a headache!" Akiko Yonehara said. "Xia Yu is so strong, I can't handle him alone. I have no desires or wants!"

Therefore, there was no fighting among these women.

Even if it really exists, Kitahara Natsuhiro can handle it all!
"Okay, you really are suitable to be the main wife!" Ai gave a thumbs up.

There are some things she really has to admire about Akiko Yonehara; she's truly magnanimous.

If it were her, she might not have done it this way!
"Alright, let's not talk about these things anymore," Akiko Yonehara said. "Let's just enjoy the hot springs!"

"Ah."

At this moment, Sonoko and the others in front turned around, waiting for them to catch up, and asked them what they had been whispering about in the back.

However, Akiko Yonehara and the others brushed these words off with a laugh and didn't tell Sonoko and the others.

After all, Suzuki Tomoko is an adult and knows what she is doing, so there is absolutely no need for them to say anything. If they say anything, it will only make things worse!

They can't be the villains!
at the same time.

Kitahara Natsuhiro and Suzuki Tomoko were still drinking, and the side dishes on the table were almost gone.

Suzuki Tomoko's cheeks flushed again, looking quite alluring, and her heart was filled with restlessness.

With such a big man as Kitahara Natsuyu sitting next to her, his masculine aura was overwhelming. In addition, she had just asked Kitahara Natsuyu if he could handle it and if his body would be completely drained.

Kitahara Natsuhiro said that he was exceptionally talented, which was nothing special, otherwise why would he be able to have so many women revolving around him!
Upon hearing this, Tomoko Suzuki glanced at that spot instinctively. Because she was wearing a yukata and sitting on a stool, nothing could be seen at all.

But as a married woman, she has a rich imagination, and some things she fantasizes about directly, which has led her to become the way she is now.

It can be considered that they brought it upon themselves.

Moreover, she had just been neglected by her husband, and she was feeling resentful. Coupled with drinking, she was acting strangely!
In summary, they look alike!

Why can other women find happiness every day, but I can't?
You guys are really damned!

Kitahara Natsumi also noticed Suzuki Tomoko's unusual behavior and asked knowingly, "Tomoko-nee, your face is so red. It seems we've had a bit too much to drink. Let's call it a day and go back to rest!"

As he spoke, he stood up, but because he was standing, some tiny outlines appeared, and these outlines were seen.

He was already full of energy, and now he's drinking and having heart-to-heart talks with a beautiful woman. It's no wonder he's turned out this way!
Seeing this, Tomoko Suzuki's face became even rosier, and her breathing even became somewhat heavy.

Fortunately, she was a well-informed person and quickly calmed her breathing.

But breathing is easy to calm, while the mind is not so easy to calm.

"Hmm," Tomoko Suzuki subconsciously picked up her glass, downed the wine in one gulp, moistened her throat, and stood up. "It's getting late."

Before she could finish speaking, her body slumped to the side, her head spinning and her body feeling heavy.

Just when she thought she was about to fall to the ground, she suddenly found herself in a warm embrace. The pleasant warmth enveloped her, making her blush even more.

"Tomoko-nee, are you a little drunk?" Kitahara Natsuyu asked softly, looking at Suzuki Tomoko in his arms with her head down.

Suzuki Tomoko looked up and saw Kitahara Natsuhiro's handsome face, and her heart started beating even faster.

But she was still clear-headed, aware of her identity and what she was doing, so she braced herself against Kitahara Natsuyu's chest and said, "Sister, I'm a little drunk. Let's go back and rest!"

After saying that, she turned around, clutched her chest, felt her heart pounding, and her face turned bright red, as if it had been roasted.

Tomoko, what's wrong with you? This won't do!
No, why not? He can play outside, why can't I!
At that moment, two little figures appeared in her mind, one black and one white!

“Okay!” Kitahara Natsuhiro smiled.

"Um"

Tomoko Suzuki responded with a word, then lowered her head and walked forward, but after only a couple of steps, her body began to move uncontrollably.

Then she fell into Kitahara Natsuhiro's arms again, and her eyes became blurry.

She knew she was truly drunk.

"Tomoko-san"

Kitahara Natsuyu once again felt the delicate body in his arms.

Suzuki Tomoko, who was in his arms, also felt this, since the two were pressed together.

Sensing all this, a fire surged within her, spreading outwards and scorching her body.

Kitahara Natsuhiro looked at Suzuki Tomoko, whose head was raised and whose eyes had become misty, and immediately knew that this was a golden opportunity that would not come again.

So he decisively rushed forward, leaving her no chance to escape!
Because of the alcohol I drank, my mouth only tasted of the alcohol, not the lipstick or lip gloss.

Who would wear heavy makeup and lipstick after taking a shower?!
Moreover, Suzuki Tomoko is naturally beautiful, with a very voluptuous figure and smooth skin, but she is still a little lacking compared to young girls. However, after his sculpting, she will definitely shine again!
"Hmm~"

Feeling this aura, Suzuki Tomoko couldn't help but start whimpering, her limbs going limp as she collapsed into Kitahara Natsuhiro's arms.

At the same time, Kitahara Natsuhiro supported Suzuki Tomoko's body with both hands to prevent her from falling.

This delay immediately caused Suzuki Tomoko to lose control, and her body began to tremble.

There was no way around it; she hadn't had marital relations for far too long, so her reaction was quite strong.

Although she could solve the problem herself, she was different from others, and her identity and sense of dignity prevented her from doing anything strange.

That's why.
At this time,

In the quiet environment, both of them heard it.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuhiro looked astonished, while Suzuki Tomoko felt utterly devastated.

"It's over, it's really over!"

"In that case."

Since things have already come to this, might as well!
Fight!
