Tokyo: My debt collection methods are a bit off.

Everyone was stunned.

The man who had just stood up and scolded Hoshino Jun was so startled that he sobered up completely.

Looking again at Hoshino's pure white smiling face, he chuckled awkwardly and sat down again.

His posture was exceptionally upright.

"Brother, please take care, you and your wife!"

"Do you need me to give you a ride?"

Hoshino Jun didn't want to waste any more words with them. He helped Takayanagi Yuuki, who was almost drunk, to her feet and then walked out step by step.

It wasn't until after leaving the izakaya and buying a bottle of milk for Yuuki Takayanagi to drink, which helped her sober up a bit, that Jun Hoshino's expression turned serious again.

"I gave you face inside and didn't teach you a lesson."

"Now tell me, why did you come here to drink, and why are there men with you?"

After drinking the milk, Yuuki Takayanagi sobered up a bit and noticed that Jun Hoshino's complexion was not good, which made her inexplicably flustered and uneasy.

Like a child who has done something wrong, he lowered his head.

"I don't want to drink either, but..."

"No buts."

Hoshino Jun directly grabbed Takayanagi Yuuki's cheeks.

Under the dim streetlights, the neighbor aunt's slightly flushed and rosy face was so adorable that he couldn't resist teasing her.

So, while rubbing the beauty's cheek, he continued in a feigned angry tone:

"Don't tell me it was arranged by the supermarket. You're just a cashier, and you don't seem to have any ambition for promotion. Who could possibly arrange something for you?"

Perhaps it was Hoshino Jun's gaze that was too frightening, because Takayanagi Yuuki closed her eyes, unable to look at him, and stammered out a slow explanation:

"No, I didn't have it before, but I have it this year."

"Be clear."

“Xiaocheng is the same age as you, Chunjun. He will be going to high school next year, so I want to save more money for him. Those three people are Mei’s superiors at the same level. After Mei got off work today, they told me that if I come over for a drink, they will apply for a bonus for me tomorrow.”

Cars sped by on the street, their humming echoing around them.

Looking at the dazed neighbor lady in front of him, Hoshino Jun suddenly couldn't bear to say the harsh truth to her.

Two years ago, Gao Liucheng, who worked hard, might have had a chance, but now, does Gao Liucheng want to go to school?

难.

"Sigh~!" Hoshino Jun couldn't bear it after all, so he reached out and put his arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace.

Just then, a breeze blew by.

The cool breeze amplified Yuki Takayanagi's effects of the alcohol, making her feel swayed and as if she were a piece of cotton, she leaned most of her body against Jun Hoshino.

Soft.

Slightly tipsy, Takayanagi Yuuki leaned against Hoshino Jun and murmured:

"Chun Jun, if only you were Xiao Cheng's father, the three of us could work hard together and live a good life."

The unique fragrance of the mature woman, combined with the smell of alcohol, wafted into Hoshino Jun's nose and mouth, stimulating her and making her feel itchy.

He held Takayanagi Yuki's soft body tightly, calculating the funds he currently possessed.

With the 50 yen he just received from completing a Class B debt, Jun Hoshino now has a total of 457 yen at his disposal.

"Yuxi, don't worry, I'll pay for Xiaocheng's tuition."

Hoshino Jun assured that he was genuinely trying to comfort Takayanagi Yuuki, and that he wasn't just making a casual promise knowing that Takayanagi Shiro's grades wouldn't allow him to continue his studies.

Yuuki Takayanagi nestled happily into Jun Hoshino's arms, softly murmuring, "Thank you, Jun-kun~ You're so kind, hiccup~!"

"Well, I'm home."

Hoshino Jun ruffled Takayanagi Yuuki's hair, hailed a car, and took her back to the apartment.

She was completely drunk by this point, so Hoshino Jun had no choice but to take the key out of her bag, open the door, and then lead her to the bed step by step.

Just as Hoshino Jun was about to go home, Takayanagi Yuuki, who had been drunk and passed out, opened her blurry eyes and reached out to pull Hoshino Jun back.

"Honey, where are you going?"

She probably thinks she's dreaming.

Before Hoshino Jun could speak, the sound of the door opening on the other side came out the next second.

"Mom, why are you so late coming home today?"

Chapter 102 Good Night

Question:

'When you're in the boudoir of a drunken young woman, and she pulls you aside and sweetly calls you "husband."'

'Just then, her son suddenly appeared and was rushing towards the room.'

What should you do?

Because the apartment was not very big, Takayanagi Shiro's room was only a few steps away from Takayanagi Yuki's room.

In other words, there are at most five seconds left between the occurrence of the event and the collision of Mars with Earth.

In those five seconds, the chance of shaking off Yuuki Takayanagi and successfully escaping back to 404 by avoiding Takayanagi Shiro is 0.

However, if they don't avoid Takayanagi Castle, Hoshino Jun is certain that Takayanagi Yuuki, this stable ATM, will become unstable, and in more serious cases, it might even crash.

Given the current situation, it's impossible for her to accept being discovered by Takayanagi Shiro about her affair with Hoshino Jun.

even if

She was slowly beginning to accept Hoshino Jun in her heart.

"Tick-tock-!"

The second hand is moving.

The footsteps outside the room fell silent once more.

"Damn you, Gao Liucheng! This is the second time! You've cornered me in this room twice already!"

"Are you a ghost?!"

Hoshino Jun swallowed hard, trembling with fear, and forcefully shook off Takayanagi Yuuki's hand. Then, with lightning speed, she rushed forward.

As Gao Liucheng pulled the doorknob down from outside, he quickly turned the small lock on.

"Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Yuuki Takayanagi was so drunk that she couldn't distinguish between dreams and reality. Her head was swaying groggily, and she smiled at Jun Hoshino's back with a dazed look in her eyes.

Perhaps, in her dream, Hoshino Jun is playing the role of her husband, becoming the man who shelters her from the wind and rain.

However, what Takayanagi Yuuki didn't know was...

Her sweet, coquettish address of "husband" had a tremendous impact on Hoshino Jun and Takayanagi Shiro.

"Husband?" Gao Liucheng's voice trembled, and his lips were shaking.

More than ten years.

For the first time in over a decade, he had never heard his mother's voice so soft and gentle, like that of a tender moon goddess.

Whom is Mom referring to as her husband?

What's that person's name?

Where do you live?

How old are you?

Right now, is he in his mother's room?

Gao Liucheng trembled, unsure of how to describe his feelings.

Are you feeling sad?

I wouldn't say exactly, but I felt a little sore in my chest.

Do you feel fortunate?

My mother has been alone for so many years, it would be good for her to find a companion.

It was only natural that Gao Liucheng should be happy for his mother, but for some reason, he just couldn't feel happy.

Just like how he knew perfectly well that Hoshino Jun was not wrong when he rejected Yamada Kaoru, but after seeing Yamada Kaoru cry, he couldn't help but shift all the blame onto Hoshino Jun.

An emotion that is completely irrational.

But it does exist.

However, her mother wasn't Kaoru Yamada.

And the man her mother had was not Hoshino Jun.

After taking a deep breath, Gao Liucheng slowly released the doorknob of his mother's room and silently retreated back to his own room.

He didn't say another word.

inside the room.

The young man's jade-like face appeared even whiter under the lamplight. After hearing the footsteps leave, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Almost, just a hair's breadth away, Takayanagi Shiro's deposit machine and Takayanagi Yuki's withdrawal machine were about to disappear from Hoshino Jun's life.

I will never come to 403 again; it's just too risky.

Patting her chest, Hoshino Jun looked up at Takayanagi Yuuki, who had already sat up. Her face was flushed, her red lips were glossy, and her long braid had somehow come undone.

Her long brown hair fell to her chest, and the collar of her work shirt was ripped open, revealing large expanses of her snow-white skin breathing freely.
