Tokyo: My debt collection methods are a bit off.

Kato Nana looked at the gentle, smiling, but actually wicked Hoshino-kun beside her with a wronged expression, and couldn't help but want to continue the conversation.

"Yusuke, please finish this glass of cola for me!"

The girl clenched her little fists and blinked her bright, watery eyes at Takasaki Yusuke.

Nana is so cute, it makes Takasaki Yusuke's heart flutter.

But you absolutely can't drink this cola. Who in their right mind would drink their own boogers?

Damn it, Jun Hoshino, are you out of your mind? Can't you just drink this cola yourself? Even if you don't want to drink it, can't you just throw it away?

Do you really need someone to drink for you?

"Nana, my stomach is a little upset today too." Takasaki Yusuke pushed the cola towards Hoshino Jun again, smiled and said, "Hoshino-kun should drink it instead."

He was still thinking about how to disgust Hoshino Jun.

Hoshino Jun, unperturbed, kicked Kato Nana's little leather shoe again.

Kato Nana's delicate body trembled slightly. She pursed her lips, stood up, and personally handed the cola to Takasaki Yusuke.

"Yusuke, what do you mean by this? I wanted Yusuke to help me taste the flavor, what do you mean by giving it to Hoshino-kun?"

Are you mocking me?

I'm sorry, Yusuke.

Hoshino is too domineering. I don't dare to disobey him. Please refuse him yourself, okay?

Please, just say no to me!

Kato Nana stared at Takasaki Yusuke, hoping he could be a little more domineering.

However, Takasaki Yusuke misunderstood, thinking that Nana was already angry. His head was buzzing, and he was at a loss for what to do.

"Nana, I didn't mean to tease you, I mean..."

Too weak.

Both times.

Kato Nana was really disappointed in Takasaki Yusuke: "If you don't have any, then drink it all, or I'll never talk to you again."

Even though it's already April and summer is here, Takasaki Yusuke feels his hands and feet are ice cold.

How could it become like this.

"Okay, I'll drink!"

In the end, Yusuke Takasaki still managed to lift the cola bottle shakily.

Compared to Nana's feelings, Dirty Cola is more important.

Anyway, it's my own booger, so I'll just bear with it and it'll pass.

Thinking this, Yusuke Takasaki closed his eyes and gulped down the filthy cola, feeling a wave of nausea wash over him.

But he held back, maintaining a smile, and spoke gently to Kato Nana:

"Nana, I've finished drinking. Now Nana should be happy, right?"

"Yeah, Yusuke is great!"

Kato Nana gave a light compliment, casually shifted her gaze to the window, and sighed softly.

"Being a simp is awesome!"

Watching Yusuke Takasaki finish his cola in one gulp, this time, Jun Hoshino genuinely gave Yusuke a thumbs up.

"Jingle Bell--"

When the afternoon school bell rang, Hoshino Jun lost interest in continuing to tease the couple, yawned, and left the cafeteria first.

"Takasaki-kun, Kato-kun, I'm going to class now."

Chapter 32 She is my girlfriend

The sun is not dry and the breeze is just right.

On a gloomy afternoon, Hoshino Jun asked for sick leave from the tennis club and left school before the club activities even started.

"It's 3:30 pm now. Aunt Yuki is off her early shift today and should be home around 4 pm."

"Gao Liucheng finishes his work at the club at five o'clock, and then goes to the office to write a self-criticism."

"With his intelligence, it would probably take him about an hour and a half to search for a template on his phone, copy and modify it to the point that the teacher wouldn't notice the difference."

"Adding the time spent walking home, Gao Liucheng won't be back at his apartment until seven o'clock."

Hoshino Jun walked slowly, her gaze fixed on the two-story-high trees by the roadside, with fluffy white clouds drifting across the clear blue sky.

Aunt Mei is also able to get home around seven o'clock.

From 4 o'clock to 7 o'clock.

Three hours is plenty of time.

In the sweltering April heat, the wind rustled through the cherry blossom trees below the apartment building. Hoshino Jun glanced at them from afar, then turned and headed to the bus stop to wait.

Upon arrival, Hoshino Jun sat on a public bench, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the warm caress of the afternoon sun.

At 4 o'clock sharp, the bus carrying Yuki Takayanagi came to a smooth stop at the station. The mature and beautiful woman, dressed in an office lady's business suit, took her handbag and prepared to get off the bus.

As she walked through the carriage, she overheard several familiar young girls pointing in a direction and talking excitedly.

"Wow, a sleeping beauty! He's so handsome he's captivating my soul."

"Could he be a runaway boy like the runaway girl? I really want to take him home and raise him."

"Go ask for a LINE account, be bold."

"I really want to cure him, but I'm afraid my husband won't agree! Ugh!"

These girls are so exaggerated.

Driven by curiosity, Yuki Takayanagi glanced in the direction they were looking and immediately froze.

The boy was indeed handsome, bathed in sunlight, his black hair swaying gently in the breeze, a slight, languid smile on his face bringing a sense of peace and joy to the soul, drawing one in without realizing it.

"It's Xiao Chun. Why is he sleeping here?"

After getting off the bus, Yuuki Takayanagi stopped in front of Jun Hoshino for a moment, wanting to wake the sleeping boy and ask him what was wrong.

But I'm also afraid because of what happened last night.

"Forget it, let's go!"

"What if I wake Xiaochun up and he hugs me again?"

A single woman who has been lonely for many years is no match for the repeated advances of a handsome young man in the prime of his youth.

Last night, Yuki Takayanagi had already thought it over; she needed to keep a certain distance from Jun Hoshino.

We can't let Hoshino Jun get any closer to her.

"Take a picture and send it to Mei via text message, so she can come pick up Jun."

Yuki Takayanagi muttered something to herself, took out her flip phone from her bag, and turned on the camera.

The island nation's laws prohibit silent photography, so when Yuki Takayanagi pressed the shutter button, the phone made a "click" sound.

The boy, who should have been asleep, immediately opened his eyes upon hearing the sound and grabbed the beautiful woman's wrist.

Hoshino Jun yawned, his eyes sweeping over Takayanagi Yuuki's voluptuous figure, and asked with a half-smile:

"Excuse me, are you taking pictures of me without my consent?"

Taking photos without consent is a shameful act, and this year, Japan has explicitly criminalized it.

Anyone caught taking secret photos will face severe penalties.

Several middle-aged women who had been watching Hoshino Jun's movements closely immediately crowded around and pointed at Takayanagi Yuuki when they heard her say the word "secretly take pictures".

"So it was a secret filming!"

"Standing so close, I thought we knew each other."

"I never expected someone as beautiful as you to do something like this."

"Take him to the police station. Taking photos without consent is the most disgusting thing."

Being handsome really has an advantage. Just like middle-aged men tend to prefer pretty young girls, middle-aged women also tend to prefer handsome young men.

The sudden accusations caught Yuki Takayanagi off guard; she had never been treated like a criminal before, surrounded by people pointing fingers and whispering.

Panicked for a moment, she slightly bent her fair and plump legs and moved closer to Hoshino Jun, anxiously saying:

"Xiao Chun, what nonsense are you talking about? Explain yourself! I wasn't taking pictures secretly. I was just worried you'd catch a cold if you slept here, so I wanted to tell your aunt."

Because she was in a hurry, Yuuki Takayanagi didn't realize how improper her action of clinging to Jun Hoshino's arm was.

Aunt Yuki truly lives up to her reputation as a stronger person than Kato Nana.

Even through her clothes, Hoshino Jun could feel the softness and elasticity; it was just too hot.

Hoshino Jun wasn't asleep at all; he had just been dozing off. When he saw Takayanagi Yuuki walk over, he thought he'd play a trick on his aunt.

Hoshino Junya never expected that his joke with Takayanagi Yuuki would provoke this group of middle-aged women to rush over and start firing.

"Thank you all for your kindness. She's my girlfriend. I was just joking with her." Hoshino Jun sincerely bowed and apologized to the middle-aged women.

The word "girlfriend" silenced everyone around.

The middle-aged women glanced at Jun Hoshino, then at Yuki Takayanagi.

While it's true that a handsome man should be paired with a beautiful woman, their personalities and appearances are completely mismatched.

Hoshino Jun looks like a young man in the prime of his youth, while Takayanagi Yuuki looks like a charming woman in her thirties.

"Boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"What a strange combination."

They're more like a mother and son than a couple.
