Tokyo: My debt collection methods are a bit off.

"I'm warning you, I came here with Mei today."

"You'd better not be rude to me, or Mei will teach you a lesson."

Yuki Takayanagi's words exuded a sense of triumph, like a hero who had finally stopped the great demon king's attack.

Even the silly wife can be smart for once.

If Hoshino Jun chooses to leave work with Asu Mei and take the bus home together, then he certainly won't make a move on her on the way.

This bus probably drove a bit too fast on the way, and didn't arrive at its stop precisely when it was close to the destination, so it was moving slowly, like a giant tortoise crawling on land.

Before they even arrived at the station, Hoshino Jun saw Asahi Mei reach out and wave at him.

"Jun-chan~!"

If he could persuade her, Hoshino Jun really hoped that when Asu Mei called him by his name, she wouldn't add "chan" after it anymore.

Although it's affectionate, it really sounds awful.

"Om-!"

The bus finally stopped, and Mei ran off happily without any ripples, a stark contrast to the huge waves that followed.

Aunt Mei is actually not small, considered above average among Japanese women, but Aunt Yuki is just too big, making her seem rather small.

"Jun-chan, why are you picking up Auntie today? Have you been thinking about her day and night?"

Mei, laughing, hooked her arm around Jun's neck, her rather voluptuous figure leaning against Jun, seemingly unconcerned about whether Jun would take advantage of her.

I've been enjoying the fruits of Kato Nana and Aunt Yuki's labor these past few days.

The cottony feeling on her elbow surprisingly didn't elicit any reaction from Hoshino Jun, who didn't even think about the yellow waste.

"Silly auntie, it's only evening now, why are you thinking about this?"

"So it's Risi?"

"No, I was on a date with some hot girls at school during the day."

Jun Hoshino was very honest and told her about her daytime schedule right away.

But Mei simply didn't believe it, and she giggled:

"You're so stubborn. You don't even have any pocket money. How are you going to pick up hot girls?"

"Maybe a hot girl is hitting on me?"

Upon hearing this, Mei clicked her tongue in surprise and looked seriously at Hoshino Jun's handsome face.

Clearly, she felt this was a possible answer.

Then, Hoshino Jun added, "The hot girl I dated also had a boyfriend. She would do anything for me behind her boyfriend's back, things she and her boyfriend never did."

Moreover, the two had only known each other for three days.

"Pfft~!" Mei Asuka burst out laughing: "You might as well just say you're going to become the Earth's governor tomorrow."

"Great! Tomorrow I'll be the governor of Earth, and I'll appoint you as the global toilet supervisor, in charge of cleaning toilets."

A smile appeared at the corner of Hoshino Jun's eyes.

Auntie, I've already told you everything honestly today, but you just didn't believe me.

If you find out later, don't blame me.

"No."

At this moment, Mei Asuka was unaware of the seriousness of the situation. She pulled Jun Hoshino along and strode forward.

It's not like an adult getting off work, but more like a primary school student going home after school.

"I want to be the Earth's flower, the most beautiful woman in the world, hmph."

"Thick-skinned."

"What do you mean by thick-skinned? I'm beautiful to begin with."

Upon hearing Hoshino Jun's answer, Asu Mei angrily rammed into Hoshino Jun with her ball, relentlessly bullying him.

Since they were outside and there were other people present, Hoshino Jun gave Asu Mei some face and did not retaliate.

He just kept muttering to himself.

"What a strange atmosphere!"

Yuki Takayanagi, who was walking slowly behind the two, looked left and right and saw that the two people in front of her seemed a bit off.

'Why does Mei and Jun's relationship seem less like that of an elder and a younger person?'

They seemed more like a young married couple.

As soon as the idea popped into her head, Yuuki Takayanagi shook her head and immediately banished it from her mind.

Hoshino Jun was raised by Asu Mei, how could things have developed into that kind of relationship? There must be a misunderstanding.

'Perhaps this is how normal family relationships should be, but my son, Xiaocheng, wasn't raised well and has become completely distant from his mother.'

'I'm so envious of Mei!'

The cherry blossoms bloomed and faded, and the newly risen moon was bright and flawless. A pink petal fell in the cool moonlight onto the towering cotton candy-like structure of the widowed Mrs. Takayanagi.

Upon reaching the fourth floor, Hoshino Jun pulled away from the arm that Asu Mei was tightly holding and reached into her pocket for her keys.

"I've already cooked the food. It should still be hot. You can eat it right away."

"Okay, Jun-chan is so good."

Mei's eyes sparkled with joy, curving like crescent moons.

After a hard day's work, someone has prepared a hot meal for you to enjoy when you get home.

This is the happiest life for an ordinary person.

"so good"

She murmured softly and lowered her head to fumble for her keys in her bag.

Mei's happiness made Mei a little jealous.

"Crack——!"

As the lock turned and the door opened, Yuki Takayanagi saw her son, Shiro Takayanagi, sitting slumped on the sofa watching TV with the television on.

"Mom, why are you only getting back now?" Gao Liucheng complained in a soft voice, "Hurry up and cook, I'm starving."

"clatter!"

Yuki Takayanagi's body suddenly went limp, and her bag fell to the ground.

My eyes involuntarily reddened.

Why does her adopted son, Gao Liucheng, never come downstairs to wait for her, nor does he ever think of cooking for her?

On the contrary, after Takayanagi Yuki had been busy all day, she still had to cook for her son without stopping.

Take a step back and you'll hear the heartwarming daily life of Hoshino Jun and Asu Mei.

"I've washed all your clothes. Could you please stop leaving them lying around like that in the future? It's hard for me to keep things organized."

"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever Jun-chan says."

"You're not listening to anything. You just let things go in one ear and out the other. From now on, put all your clothes away properly, understand?"

"Hey, stop nagging, my ears are going to explode from Jun-chan's nagging."

Stepping back into the entryway, I was met with my son's bewildered gaze.

"Mom, what are you standing there for? I'm hungry, cook!"

Yuki Takayanagi felt a sudden tightness in her chest, and for some reason, the joy she had felt about going home turned into gloom, with a growing sense of annoyance creeping into her brow.

Watching her son blinking his eyes, waiting to be fed.

Take a deep breath.

Then spit it out.

"Why can't Xiaocheng learn to cook for himself?"

Faced with his mother's question, Gao Liucheng was stunned and looked even more bewildered.

"I have to go to school, I'm very busy."

Just then, Jun Hoshino came out from next door.

"Aunt Yu-hsi, you've gotten off work so late, you probably haven't eaten yet, right? Would you like to come to our house and try my cooking with me?"

Chapter 46 Pretending to be a Girlfriend

I could have endured the darkness.

If I had never seen the light.

It was evening, just as the moon was rising, and Hoshino Jun was standing right behind Takayanagi Yuuki.

Upon hearing Hoshino Jun's invitation and looking at her son waiting to be fed, Takayanagi Yuuki felt exhausted, even more tired than when she was at work.

small town

If only you were half as good as Xiao Chun.

"Cheng-kun is home too. Didn't you cook and wait for Aunt Yu-xi?"

"Well, forget it."

"How about we all come to my place for a bite to eat?"

My gaze swept over it.

Hoshino Jun looked down at Takayanagi Shiro, who was scratching his head and explaining, his smile gentle and his tone sincere.

This was not just a polite invitation, but a genuine invitation to the mother and son to have dinner together.
