Tokyo: Starting with a fake boyfriend

She had considered going back to Takeno High School, calling Mr. Shinonome, and having a private talk with Shiratori-kun in the student counseling room, just like last time, to ask, "Why don't you come to my house anymore?" But she always felt that doing so wouldn't be the right thing to do.

After all, she's single again, so it's really strange for her to go to her daughter's classmate to ask about this kind of thing; it's like she's saying, "Why don't you come to me?"

"beep!"

Just then, the sound of the smart lock unlocking suddenly rang out in the silent home.

"Mom, I'm home!"

The next moment, a joyful voice rang out.

Hearing the noise, Hojo Yuki, who had been alone at home all day, came to her senses, put on her slippers barefoot, stood up, and ran over.

"Only Konan's voice can be heard. Has Shiratori-kun still not arrived?"

After several disappointments, Hojo Yuki stopped hoping and became aware of the situation.

And so, without any expectations, she ran around the corner and arrived at the entrance.

"welcome……"

Hojo Yuki was about to greet them instinctively, but when she saw the scene in the entrance hall, her mouth suddenly stopped.

Because my precious daughter didn't come home alone today; there was a boy standing next to her.

With blond hair and black skin, a tall stature, thick eyebrows and bright eyes, and handsome features, he was a dashing young man even in a school uniform. He was none other than Shiratori Osamu.

"So Shiratori-kun really has been busy these days, and not thinking he won't come again for any reason..." Hojo Yuki felt relieved to see him come again.

"Sorry to bother you."

Standing in front of the entrance hall, Shiratori saw Hojo Yuki's stunned expression and couldn't help but glance at her purple stepmother dress and her long, loose hair, which accentuated her feminine beauty, before speaking.

No, this is so beautiful!

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is the first time I've seen her without her hair up.

"Welcome back, Minami, Shiratori-kun."

Upon hearing this greeting, Hojo Yuki looked at the two people standing together, a smile blooming on her beautiful face, and spoke softly.

Seeing the smile on her mother's face, Minami Yamabuki, who was already happy, became even happier.

"..."

Seeing their joyful expressions, Shiratori opened his mouth, but suddenly felt a shortness of breath and a sense of guilt surged into his heart like a rising tide, overwhelming him completely.

The reason he felt guilty was because he made a decision on Tuesday night: to abandon the mother and daughter and choose the sisters, specifically Shinonome Mizuki and Shinonome Chisei, who could potentially give him the best of both worlds.

Because the guilt was so intense, he immediately became completely focused.

In an instant, Shiratori Shu's mood calmed down, and his almost suffocating throat was able to breathe.

He was just being preoccupied with appearances. He never even had them; it was all just a pipe dream. How could he talk about abandoning them?

"Xiujun, what are you thinking about?"

Just then, Minami Yamabuki noticed that he was standing there blankly and motionless, which puzzled her.

"I was just thinking that I haven't seen Aunt Hojo for several days. She has changed a lot since her divorce. She looks really good."

Faced with this question, Shiratori Osamu glanced down at her and then spoke.

Upon hearing this, Yamabuki Minami was startled, then chuckled to herself, sensing that a good show was about to unfold.

"Shiratori-kun, what did you just call me?"

Upon hearing this, Hojo Yuki, who had been smiling, immediately changed her expression, looking at the boy with resentment in her eyes.

"Mr. Yamabuki is no longer here, and the class president and I no longer need to pretend to be a couple, so I can no longer call you that like before..."

He noticed that her cheeks were puffed out and she was looking at him with a bit of anger. Although Shiratori knew she was unhappy, he still didn't go along with her wishes.

"Class monitor?" Yamabuki Minami, who had been watching the show with amusement, froze upon hearing this title, and her heart skipped a beat.

The formal yet distant form of address reminded her of that Monday night, and unpleasant memories resurfaced. But the next moment, she glanced at Shiratori Osamu beside her and immediately felt at ease.

Two sentences triggered two landmines, and Shiratori Shu shut his mouth and said nothing more.

This is a crucial step in paving the way for not renewing the lease when the term expires. The first step is to change the way you address someone. Whether it's "mother-in-law" or "Xiao Nan," these ways of addressing each other are actually too intimate.

QQ

Hojo Yuki, who was initially just a little unhappy, felt an immense sense of injustice and tears welled up when she realized that he was unwilling to change his address.

This morning, considering that Shiratori-kun might come after school on Friday, she spent several hours in the dressing room researching before finally choosing this dress of just the right length, wanting him to see that she has become even better since returning to single life.

But Shiratori-kun, after finally meeting her, not only did he not call her "mother-in-law," he actually called her "auntie," which was too much.

"mother in law."

Seeing that she was crying, Shiratori hesitated for a moment before giving in and called out.

Thinking about it carefully, it's really not good to call such a beautiful woman "auntie"; it's too hurtful.

Moreover, his mother-in-law is an adult and should be used to separation by now. She is not dependent on him. His main goal in trying to reduce her dependence is still Xiao Nan.

"That's more like it."

Hojo Yuki, who was still crying, felt better when she heard this affectionate address, but she still couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

That guy is really mean-spirited. He should have called her that earlier. He wouldn't have stopped until he made her cry.

Even though Shiratori was fully focused, he almost lost his composure after being given a reproachful glare.

Because his mother-in-law's attitude towards him was too ambiguous, he couldn't help but think:

"Could she like me?"

"She still looks very upset. Should I go up and hug her and try to comfort her?"

"Hugging her seems too intimate; holding her hand and gently coaxing her would be the best approach."

"No, no, if you don't court death, you won't die."

His thinking speed is extremely fast. In less than 2 seconds, he went through the mental process of receiving the signal, being eager to try, adjusting the plan, and being honest and straightforward.

Although his mother-in-law is a little too cute, she's really not someone you should touch; she's a million times more dangerous than him touching Xiao Nan.

"By the way, Shiratori-kun, I bought you a new pair of slippers a few days ago."

Because he remained silent, Hojo Yuki, after instinctively scolding him, realized her mistake and immediately felt embarrassed. She quickly took action and opened the shoe cabinet next to her.

She loves to act cute too much; she didn't even realize she was doing that to Shiratori-kun just now... This won't do. Konan clearly likes Shiratori-kun; how can she steal a man from her daughter?

In her panic, Hojo Yuki acted quickly, took out a pair of men's slippers, bent down and placed them on the edge of the misalignment between the entryway and the stairs in front of him.

She was fine when she was standing, but when she bent over, her purple, fitted knitted dress stretched taut, revealing her mature and alluring curves in a breathtaking way.

Shiratori Shu didn't want to look at her, but her actions were too sudden, and his own reaction speed was too fast. By the time he wanted to stop, it was too late, and only one intuitive thought remained in his mind:

"So perky, so slender, so big, this figure is absolutely gorgeous!"

My mother-in-law's outfit was actually quite conservative, revealing only her slender neck, sexy collarbone, and a pair of delicate arms, with very little skin showing. However, her figure was so mature and voluptuous, coupled with a pure yet alluring charm, that no eighteen-year-old girl could compare to her. Every move she made was captivating.

"Thank you."

Although Shiratori was amazed by her figure, he remained calm, thanked her, and began to change his shoes.

"It's so hot, you must be thirsty. I'll go get you some water."

After putting his slippers away, Hojo Yuki glanced at her daughter, still feeling embarrassed, and turned to run away after saying a few words.

As for what to drink, she no longer needed to ask; Shiratori-kun liked to drink ice water, and her precious daughter loved orange juice.

"I wonder how the class monitor reacted when he heard what I said." As his mother-in-law fled in a panic, Shiratori Xiu changed his slippers and looked at the girl next to him.

Just then, Yamabuki Minami, who had been watching from the side the whole time, noticed his gaze, turned her head and looked up at him.

Shiratori Shu's gaze swept over her beautiful face, and finding her expression calm, he felt relieved and thought to himself, "She didn't cry or make a fuss. It seems that her dependence on me has indeed decreased."

His strategy was correct. All relationships need maintenance. Even the best relationships will fade if there is no contact for a long time.

Although the class monitor was extremely dependent on him on Monday night, after being separated for a few days, he probably realized that life goes on even without him by his side.

After all, no one in this world is indispensable to anyone else.

"Xiu Jun".

Finally, after her mother left, giving her a chance to be alone with her, Minami Yamabuki suddenly took a step to the side, closing the distance between them, and spoke.

"what happened?"

Realizing she had something to say, Shiratori Osamu responded and bent down to listen to her.

Finding him as clever as ever, Minami Yamabuki glanced furtively into the living room. Confirming that her mother had run away, she tiptoed and whispered in his ear:

Do you like my mom?

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Shiratori Osamu's super-powerful brain was completely stunned for a few seconds.

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

Once his brain was reactivated, he didn't hesitate at all and immediately denied it three times in a row.

"You still say no? When Mom was bending down to put your slippers away, your eyes were practically glued to the screen."

Seeing that he refused to admit it, Minami Yamabuki's tone was very resentful.

She had mixed feelings; she didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.

Actually, when Xiu Jun first came home with her, she already had a suspicion that Xiu Jun might really like her mother's type of girl.

Because she always felt that Xiujun's reaction when he saw his mother being amazed on the spot was not an act at all.

Chapter 104 Good News

"If I tell her I like my mother-in-law, will she become less dependent on me?"

"What would she think if I said I didn't like it?"

Faced with this situation, Shiratori Osamu's mind raced, speculating on the outcomes of the two possible answers.

As he fell into deep thought, Minami Yamabuki continued to scrutinize him suspiciously.

She wasn't making baseless accusations; it was based on actual performance.

No matter what she wore, whether it was winter pajamas, summer pajamas, or even the most beautiful dress in her wardrobe, Xiu Jun wouldn't give her a second glance.

As a result, when Mom bent over, Xiu Jun's eyes locked onto her as if they were automatically aimed, like an iron block being attracted by a magnet.

"Okay, I admit it, I'm a pervert."

Just then, Shiratori Osamu, who had been deep in thought, spoke up.

"Huh?"

The unexpected answer caught Yamabuki Minami off guard.

It's not about liking or disliking, but calling someone a pervert. That's way off-topic!

"Because my mother-in-law has such a great figure, I couldn't help but take a few more glances at her just now."

Seeing her bewildered reaction, Shiratori Osamu nodded in response.

The other party has already concluded that he's staring intently, and at this point, it's impossible for him to prove his innocence.

Since that's the case, let's take this opportunity to make the class monitor realize the difference between men and women and that he's not a good man at all.

"Eh..."

Faced with his sudden candor, Minami Yamabuki was momentarily at a loss for words, feeling completely helpless.

Although she did have such suspicions just now, such as that he was a lecherous man or a pervert, it was too self-righteous for Xiu Jun to say it outright.

Minami Yamabuki had known for a long time that all men are lustful, because her father had been teaching her since she was very young: "As long as a man can breathe, there is no man who is not lustful."

However, Xiu Jun is right. Her mother does have a great figure. Even as a woman herself, she often can't help but look at her and feel envious.

Especially these past few days, when they sleep together, her mother wearing a nightgown makes her want to stick to her.

Two sentences silenced her, and Shiratori Osamu wasn't ashamed. Instead, he secretly pondered, "How could I have forgotten about this... The reason the class monitor is so dependent on me, and my mother-in-law is so kind to me, is because they think I'm a good man. In that case, wouldn't it be better if I acted a little bad?"

He realized that he had been misled by his habitual thinking again. Since he was going to leave anyway, why did he have to leave as a good man?
