Tokyo: My debt collection methods are a bit off.

Yuki Takayanagi's expression grew increasingly grim.

"Xiao Chun, I'm sorry."

Yuuki Takayanagi bit her red lips halfway, lowered her eyes, and placed her hands on her plump legs clad in flesh-colored stockings, clenching them into fists.

The charm of a mature woman reaches its peak at this moment, when disappointment and sadness intertwine.

It exudes a captivating aura at all times.

She never expected that Gao Liucheng, who had just promised her and made a guarantee, would break his promise so easily.

These are the children she raised.

She and the gentle and refined Hoshino Jun are like two extremes.

"Xiao Chun, give Xiao Cheng another chance. I will definitely teach Xiao Cheng well."

The tea is at about the right temperature.

Hoshino Jun leisurely picked up her teacup and drank the tea in it: "Aunt Yuuki, I'm afraid Shiro-kun is not easy to discipline."

"Oh? Xiao Chun, Xiao Cheng will definitely get better. You're friends, so please believe in him one more time."

Upon hearing Hoshino Jun's words, a hint of panic flashed in Takayanagi Yuuki's eyes.

Hoshino Jun already has two recordings. If Hoshino Jun hands them over, then the teachers will definitely dislike Kojo.

While Yuki Takayanagi was furious about what Shiro Takayanagi had done, she was also worried about him.

Now she only hopes that Hoshino Jun, for the sake of the relationship between the two families, can once again overlook the heinous things that Takayanagi Cheng has done.

Seeing Mrs. Takayanagi's panic, Jun Hoshino's eyes softened with a gentle smile as he looked at the panel in front of her.

[Name: Takayanagi Yuuki]

[Stamina: 6]

【Intelligence: 4】

【Charm: 9】

Occupation: Supermarket cashier

[Affection: She currently owes you two D-level affection debts. Please urge her to pay them off as soon as possible.]

Payment Method:

Money: 200000 yuan

[Food: Love-filled bento boxes for two consecutive months]

[Affection: A Warm Hug (Three Minutes)]

Are there really that much differences between Class D and Class C?

Hopefully, the collection fees won't be too far off.

"Aunt Yuki, please don't get agitated. For your sake, of course I will choose to forgive Shiro-kun."

Considering

On my face?

Yesterday's events flashed through her mind like a replay, and Yuuki Takayanagi lowered her head, her legs unconsciously rubbing together.

"Thank you, Xiaochun. When Xiaocheng gets home today, I'll definitely give him a good beating until he never dares to bother you again."

“Violent education won’t work, Aunt Yuki.”

Hoshino Jun clicked his tongue, raised his long, slender index finger, and waved it in front of Mrs. Takayanagi.

Yuuki Takayanagi was stunned for a few seconds, and before she could come to her senses, she heard Jun Hoshino say, "Aunt Yuuki, I have some guesses about Shiro-kun's current situation."

"I think he's probably going through a rebellious phase typical of teenagers right now. The more violent he is, the more fiercely he might resist."

"Therefore, we must guide him to become better in the right way."

Upon hearing this, Yuuki Takayanagi parted her red lips slightly, staring blankly at Jun Hoshino, her heart filled with emotion and mixed feelings.

Even in a small town, Xiao Chun is treated this way.

Xiao Chun is still so considerate of him.

He had such a good friend, but he didn't cherish him. He just wanted to distance himself from him because of a woman who didn't like him.

Gao Liucheng, you are such a huge idiot.

"Little Jun, what should we do?" Takayanagi Yuuki clasped her hands together, looking at Hoshino Jun with expectant eyes.

The two elbows also tried to cross, but encountered an obstacle.

It caused a large area of ​​dent.

Hoshino Jun felt a little parched as he looked at him. He said sincerely, "Aunt Yuuki, leave the task of getting Shiro-kun back on track to me."

Getting something through threats is too vulgar; Hoshino Jun disdains doing that.

The recording was merely a tool to intervene in Yuki Takayanagi's life, not a way to control her.

What Hoshino Jun wants is for Mrs. Takayanagi to genuinely become his money-making tool in the future.

Hoshino Jun narrowed his eyes as he watched Takayanagi Yuuki, whose face was filled with joy.

She thought to herself, "No wonder Aunt Yuki only has an intelligence score of 4."

Some people are too easily fooled.

"Thank you, Jun," Yuki Takayanagi said gratefully.

Jun Hoshino shook his head: "No need to be so polite, it's what I should do."

"But before that, I'd like to ask you for a reward, is that alright?"

(P.S.: Please vote! It's so hard to write all by myself.)

Chapter 10 Strong tea needs to be savored slowly

Asking for a reward?

Faced with the sudden request, Yuki Takayanagi looked up and gazed at him.

The boy's eyes, which seemed to hold the stars, burned with a fierce fire, like the midday sun scorching the earth.

It was scalding hot.

Yuki Takayanagi felt a flutter in her heart as she was stared at by that gaze.

"Xiao Chun, what reward do you want?"

Suddenly, high-altitude clouds obscured the rising sun, and the light dissipated into the hall.

Although the boy's face darkened, it still couldn't hide the passion he possessed.

Her increasingly heavy breathing, her eyes that flickered between light and shadow, and her evasive gaze all hinted at Hoshino Jun's shyness and barely suppressed excitement.

This moment.

Yuuki Takayanagi's heart fluttered along with the boy's emotions, and she felt inexplicably flustered.

She seemed to have a slight premonition.

Disaster.

Is it

Could it be Xiao Chun?

"Auntie Youyouxi, can you... hug me again?"

Hoshino Jun lowered his head unintentionally, awkwardly hiding his little thoughts, seemingly not wanting Mrs. Takayanagi to see through his ulterior motives.

But how can you hide your feelings for someone?

Such poor acting skills are so bad that even a kindergarten child could tell the difference.

Yuki Takayanagi doesn't consider herself stupid.

She saw it.

“Xiaochun, Aunt Yuki, you’re already 36 years old this year.” Takayanagi Yuki clutched the hem of her clothes, her fair cheeks flushed with a light pink.

Beside the sofa leg, two tiny, fleshy feet wriggled awkwardly inside slippers.

"Auntie, you guessed it, didn't you? Yesterday and today, I only chose to forgive Cheng-jun because of you."

"Of course, don't get me wrong, I'm not threatening you."

"Never mind, I don't know how to say it. I just hope Aunt Yuki can hug me."

The boy became increasingly anxious as he spoke, scratching his head hesitantly before finally taking a deep breath and boldly looking directly at Takayanagi Yuuki: "Is it okay?"

The room fell silent.

The sound of falling leaves can be heard.

The young man first expressed his admiration, and then emphasized again that he had "incriminating evidence" against Gao Liucheng.

How can a beautiful woman refuse?

Yuuki Takayanagi looked up at Jun Hoshino's face; his features were handsome and his angles were sharp.

A man with a shy demeanor but an extraordinary confidence exudes a captivating aura.

Yuki Takayanagi's heart suddenly raced, pounding like a deer.

"Then you can only hug me."

Mrs. Takayanagi's voice was very soft, trembling like willow catkins in the wind.

Unlike yesterday's unreasonable demand for compensation, today Hoshino Jun showed a hint of boyish affection.

It wasn't a child begging for food, but rather a young man expressing his love.

Correspondingly, today's promise is qualitatively different from yesterday's promise.

Yesterday felt like coaxing a child; today is the real response to a teenager's request.
