Gravity Girl Shining

"Sorry for making you worry."

Because of my own willfulness and evasion, I've shouldered a large sum of tuition fees for studying abroad, and now I'm worried about my own troubles. Dad, Mom, I'm sorry.

“Aine…”

"Okay, I'm full! Thanks for the treat!"

Chihaya Aine still couldn't withstand the surprised and relieved looks of her parents, and fled back to her room again.

No, this is not an escape, this is a daughter's right to act coquettishly towards her parents.

Seeing Aine hurried up the stairs, Mr. Chihaya finally felt relieved.

"I didn't expect Aine to figure it out so quickly. It must be thanks to me refusing to work overtime these days and staying home on time to accompany her. It seems Chihaya's reputation as an educator is still strong. Not bad, not bad."

Compared to her husband who had his hands on his hips and a smug look on his face, Mrs. Chihaya was much calmer. Although she also believed in Aine, it seemed that she figured it out a little too quickly this time.

It was as if someone had specially enlightened me.

Thinking back to her daughter's recent frequent guitar practice and the band she'd mentioned, Mrs. Chihaya seemed to understand something. Her daughter's lip-licking gesture was like a young woman in love; she'd done that often in her youth. She just wondered what the guy who doted on her daughter would think when the time came.

"Don't be too happy too soon. I think it won't be long before you have to worry about other things."

"The child's mother? What does that mean?"

Counting the time, it was barely two weeks. As expected of a young man playing in a band, Aiyin fell for him a little too quickly.

Although I am a little worried about the man's character, at this time, I will temporarily trust my daughter's judgment.

……

Aine's room on the second floor of Chihaya's house.

Chihaya Aine threw herself on the sofa, recalling her performance at dinner. She felt embarrassed and angry again, and her two little feet in white socks were tumbling in the air.

It’s all that bad guy’s fault!

I almost made a fool of myself in front of my parents.

Chihaya Aine unreasonably blamed everything on Uehara Hibiki. After all, if it wasn't him...

Chihaya Aine imagined her first kiss would be like that of a prince and princess in a fairy tale, a gentle touch of lips, romantic and innocent. But not like today, where waves of passion followed one after another, unable to stop at all, as if even breathing was stopping.

So wild.

It has made me restless until now, and I have been recalling the feeling of that time.

"hateful!"

Chihaya Aine picked up her phone.

"Where are you? Have you eaten?"

"Sorry, I'm working. I'll get back to you at 10pm."

What? Working again.

Chihaya Aine recalled that she had accidentally seen Uehara Hibiki's schedule before, which was filled with part-time jobs.

Could it be that he hasn't eaten yet?

Chihaya Aine couldn't help but worry.

By the way, today is the last day of Golden Week and I have to go to school tomorrow.

Bento, bento.

But it’s my mom who makes the lunch boxes every day, so she’ll definitely be discovered.

Besides, Xiang always ate with Deng, so he had no chance to deliver the lunch box to Deng, and they couldn't say "ah" to each other in front of Deng.

Hiding her secret relationship from others was more difficult than Chihaya Aine had imagined.

……

"Chihaya Aine? Who is this? She seems to be concerned about you so late at night."

"I can't help it. He's a bandmate after all."

The band was Toyokawa Shoko's Achilles' heel, and the blue-haired girl suddenly fell silent, and the topic was also interrupted.

Uehara Hibiki calmly put away his phone and looked at Toyokawa Shoko who looked tired in front of him, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Blue Hair, why are you working until this hour today?"

The law stipulates that minors can work a maximum of 8 hours a day and are prohibited from working overtime.

They both should have gone out at about the same time this morning, except that one went to the zoo and the other went to work.

Even if you include the morning break, Shoko Toyokawa's working hours should be completed by four or five in the afternoon.

Seeing Xiangzi gritting his teeth and remaining silent, Uehara Hibiki couldn't help but become serious.

"Blue hair, you're not working multiple jobs, are you? Is that legitimate?"

"I don't need you to control me."

Shoko Toyokawa is still as stubborn as ever.

But Uehara Hibiki frowned. It didn't make sense. Did Toyokawa Shoko have so many expenses?

She doesn't wear makeup, has only a few sets of private clothes, and eats cheap dishes.

Although the apartment is old and shabby, its advantage is that it is cheap.

When traveling, everyone buys monthly passes and all-day tickets, so you won’t go wrong too much.

Moreover, her tuition was fully exempted just like mine, and her scholarship alone was even higher.

Although she didn't earn as much as she did as a mercenary, Toyokawa Shoko's daily expenses for food, clothing, housing and transportation were very low. Working alone was enough to support her, not to mention she also had a scholarship.

Even if you are saving money for the future, there is no need to be so tired every day, right?

Combining with the guess of the young lady whose family has fallen on hard times, could this person be in debt?

But seeing that Toyokawa Shoko was being stubborn, I knew I wouldn't get any answers by asking directly, so I decided to investigate further about the Toyokawa family.

"Forget it, since you don't want to talk about it, just go and rest for a while."

"It's okay, I'll just stand by and wait for you to finish."

"Okay, then I'll speed up a little bit today."

Looking at Uehara Hibiki bending his arms to show off his muscles, Toyokawa Shoko snorted softly.

Then, when Uehara Hibiki turned around and was about to leave, a voice of concern came out at last.

"There's no need to speed up, don't get hurt carelessly."

It’s Tsundere Xiaoxiang, great!

……

Back at the counter, the store manager was already preparing the labels for the half-price bento boxes.

He carefully wrote each label, stroke by stroke, as if he were a father looking after his child.

"Uehara, you're full of confidence today as well."

Even without turning around, the store manager sensed his approach. Although he had become invincible since his cheating days, the unfathomable feeling he felt when facing the store manager remained unchanged.

"As for confidence, it's also because the store manager won't leave. If I fight you, I feel like I will lose miserably."

"Hahaha, I'm no longer a wolf. Now I have a wife and daughter, Sega Forever, and this store that maintains the wolf's heritage. I'm already very satisfied."

The store manager turned his head, and only then could one see the vicissitudes of life in the corners of his eyes.

Hibiki Uehara occasionally heard the store manager say that when he was a high school student, thousands of wolves roamed every supermarket in Tokyo.

Strong men emerge in large numbers and gather to fight.

And the store manager is the strongest wolf of that era (One Day).

Because the day after he won the title of the strongest, he was knocked down by his girlfriend (now his wife).

"Hahaha, how could I possibly use my full strength to fight for my life and death when facing the one I love?"

Anyway, that's how the store manager explained it, and Uehara Hibiki didn't know why people in that era would risk their lives to grab bento boxes.

It's probably a passionate battle story that's out of place with KirakiraDokidoki's era of big girl bands.

As if recalling his past, the store manager had a youthful energy. Glancing at Toyokawa Shoko wandering in the distance, the store manager lowered his voice slightly.

"Uehara, you have good taste. That blue-haired girl is a good person. She has been with you until you get off work for such a long time. I originally thought that you two were really a couple... But what about the gray-haired girl who occasionally comes over in recent times? I saw you holding hands."

amount……

"It's a nice day today."

Seeing Uehara Hibiki pretending to be calm and changing the subject, the store manager thought for a while and finally understood something.

"Alright, you're back in my old style now, and the law has changed, you lucky kid. But Uehara, remember, don't waver. Hesitation is the biggest taboo. Also, if you want to commit to a woman for life, you have to make a career out of it."

Patting Uehara Hibiki's shoulder, the manager's hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

"I know you want to repay my kindness, but a person's time is limited after all. You said you have a talent for music, so go for it. What will you achieve if you work in the supermarket all day?"

It's not just about repaying a favor.

Just like a young bird loves its nest, this supermarket is the first anchor point for Uehara Hibiki after he traveled to this world.

But, it is exactly as the store manager said.

He can't be a clerk here forever, he will have to leave one day.

……

Today's journey home was quieter than usual. Toyokawa Shoko seemed to still be brooding over the previous issue, just like her initial attitude towards the light.

When harboring secrets, Shoko Toyokawa's excess self-esteem would turn into thorns, hurting others and herself at the same time, and refusing more communication.

Poverty now, wealth in the past, every time I expose one of her secrets, those thorns are reduced, and I am one step closer to the real Toyokawa Shoko.

But now, she still has a secret to hide from herself.

The secret is deeper than the eldest daughter whose family has fallen on hard times and has to work part-time every day. To be honest, Uehara Hibiki originally guessed that she was in debt.

However, a memory resurfaced, about her caution when she invited Shoko Toyokawa to her home for talk therapy.

Use all means to prevent Uehara Hibiki from noticing what's happening in the room.

Is that her final secret?

Shoko Toyokawa, you troublesome woman.

Uehara Hibiki looked down at Xiaoxiang's soft and round face, recalling the wonderful touch before, and wanted to rub it hard. Why should he refuse someone's kindness to him?

Realizing Uehara Hibiki's sinister purpose, Toyokawa Shoko's face became even colder, and she quietly pointed at other passers-by in the car.

If you dare to rub me, I will scream.

Damn it, when did I learn this trick? If that's the case...

"Ms. Toyokawa Shoko, you don't want your address to be known by your former teammates, do you?"

"Really? I actually thought someone as gentle as Uehara Hibiki wouldn't do something like that."

Toyokawa Shoko smiled elegantly. She had already figured out Uehara Hibiki's ways. Although he threatened her with a lot of tricks, he was always clear on matters of principle. With this in mind, Toyokawa Shoko naturally felt confident.

But unfortunately, she forgot that Uehara Hibiki is indeed a very principled person, but he also has a principle, which is that he will never show mercy when teasing beautiful girls.

"Really? I also feel that a gentle person like Ms. Toyokawa Shoko wouldn't let me go to jail."

Uehara Hibiki's big hands pinched Xiaoxiang's soft face again. It was round and soft, just like rice cake. The touch was great.

"Let go, your behavior is impure and very rude."

The soft-hearted Xiaoxiang completely lost the ability to resist, and even his words of refusal were the same three-pronged approach as last time.

so cute.

So, Uehara Hibiki decided to push his luck further.
