Didn’t you say you were just using me as a substitute?

Eriri and Sayuri Sawamura walked under the beech tree, set up a small stool, and set up their drawing boards to prepare for sketching.

Blue sky, white clouds, pink cherry blossoms, green lawns, warm sea breeze, gentle sun, and azaleas blooming in the flowerbed in the distance.

Everything seemed so beautiful.

"What are you going to draw?"

Sayuri Sawamura asked.

"I want to draw Zun."

Eriri stared at the boy fishing in the distance.

"Come to think of it, you never seem to have painted a portrait of anyone."

Sayuri Sawamura sharpened her pencil and said with a smile, "It seems that I haven't even drawn Aki before."

"Well, this is my first portrait. I want to draw someone I like."

Eriri looked at the tall boy standing in the sun and smiled. "I'm thinking of giving it to him secretly on his birthday. What do you think, Mom?"

Sayuri Sawamura paused after sharpening her pen: "Are you sure you can talk to him about your birthday?"

Eriri looked at her mother strangely.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Zun's birthday is this month, and we just started dating. How could we break up in less than a month?"

"What if he breaks up with you today?"

——Sawamura Sayuri did not say this.

She couldn't help but recall her conversation with Kitahara Takashi last night.

——Time dividing line——

"But what if I say I only want a girl whose heart and eyes are filled with me and who has no room for anyone else?"

Kitahara Takashi played with the chess pieces in his hand, without looking at Sayuri Sawamura: "Auntie, I know your daughter is a very good girl."

"I also believe that if I date her, she will keep her distance from Aki Tomoya for my sake."

"But I still can't accept it."

Sayuri Sawamura asked in confusion: "Why?"

"Because I know her too well."

Kitahara Takashi answered very seriously.

"You may not know that in order to play the role of Aki Tomoya well, I followed them for a while."

"I saw it with my own eyes. Eriri's eyes smiled when she looked at Akitomo."

"That's the look you only get when you see someone you like."

"I was also left out of a date with Tomoya Aki because she was sick."

"I've witnessed everything that happened between her and Tomoya Aki. How can I accept her without any reservations?"

Kitahara Takashi witnessed everything that happened between the two of them.

If he were to be with Eriri, every time he closed his eyes he would see the image of Eriri and Tomoya Aki.

"..."

At this moment, even the eloquent Sayuri Sawamura suddenly fell silent.

"Auntie, I don't blame Eriri. She did nothing wrong."

"She just fell in love with someone, and I happened to see it, and now she also fell in love with me because I saw her and him."

"Perhaps at the beginning, I was just an intruder in the story of Spencer Eriri Sawamura and Tomoya Aki."

"Don't worry, I won't keep pestering your daughter."

"Tomorrow, I will break up with her."

Kitahara Takashi's voice was very calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"No! You absolutely cannot break up with her."

Sayuri Sawamura couldn't imagine how sad Eriri would be when she heard that Watanabe Takashi broke up with her.

"Eri already likes you, can't you tell?"

"I noticed it, but everything was fake from the moment I met her. The name was fake, the chance encounter was fake, and even my liking for her was fake. I could deceive her for a while, but could I deceive her forever?"

Kitahara Takashi knows better than anyone that his actions will eventually backfire, just like the real estate game of Pass the Parcel, so before the explosion, he is ready to withdraw.

"Even if all this is fake, you can make it real."

Sayuri Sawamura's voice was urgent.

"As long as you continue to date Eriri, everything will be solved."

"If you're worried about the Konoe family, the Kamikawa family, or something like that, I'll help you solve it."

"Kitahara-san, you like money too, right? It just so happens that our family is very wealthy, so you won't have to work hard as long as you marry into our family."

"It has nothing to do with the Konoe family, and I won't marry into the family either."

Beiyuan Zun suddenly raised his eyes with a firm gaze.

"Aunt Sawamura, you are very rich. I may never be able to reach the wealth accumulated by several generations of your family even if I work hard all my life, but even so, I will not marry into your family."

"why?"

Sayuri Sawamura was very confused.

Why did Kitahara Takashi show such strong resistance to marrying into the wife's family?

In island nations, talented people with ordinary backgrounds are often recruited by wealthy families.

This is not uncommon in island countries.

"I saw a news report before where a son-in-law who married into a family from a distant place had an argument with the woman's father and was slapped by the woman and told to get out."

"Auntie, once I choose to marry into your family, I will be handing the initiative over to you. The relationship between Eriri and I will never be equal again."

"Even if you don't see me that way, I do think so myself. So, I will definitely not marry into your family."

Sayuri Sawamura opened her mouth, but in the end, nothing came out of her mouth.

"Auntie, I hope to say goodbye to Eriri properly. Tomorrow, please pretend that you know nothing and spend a happy day with her."

Chapter 183 The show begins.

"There are no fish in Tokyo Bay."

This was the conclusion Kitahara Takashi came to after a morning of fishing in Tokyo Bay.

Ying Lili glanced at him and said, "Is this why you didn't catch any fish?"

"It's mainly because the rod doesn't fit my hand, and everyone says this fishing spot is bad."

"Air Force guys are the toughest talkers."

"My Air Force?"

Kitahara Takashi's face turned visibly red.

"This is the fish I caught last time. It weighs a full 15 kilograms! Pictures speak louder than words!"

In a rage, Takashi Kitahara took out the picture from his mobile phone album of the eight kilograms of fish he and Kei Shirogane caught last time, and placed it in front of Eriri to show her.

It was the first time Eriri saw Watanabe Tsutomu get angry, and she wanted to tease him again: "Your P is pretty good."

"P?"

Kitahara Tsutomu was so angry that his temperature turned red.

"Wait, I'll call Xiaogui to prove it."

"Forget it. Everyone knows that you guys value loyalty. Forget admitting that you caught this fish. Even if you ask them to admit that you are Kamen Rider, they won't admit it."

Eriri crossed her arms and said with a grin.

"Xiaogui is a girl."

"girl?"

Eriri, who was originally smiling, is no longer smiling.

Her face darkened, and she stretched out her hand to pinch the soft flesh on Beiyuan Zun's waist and twisted it. Beiyuan Zun gasped in pain.

"What's your relationship with that girl named Xiaogui? Tell me clearly!"

"It's just the relationship between a senior and a junior."

"You're only in the first year of high school, where did this school girl come from? Are you taking me for a fool?"

"A junior high school girl."

"Okay, you're even reaching out to a middle school kid, right? I knew you weren't honest. Break up!"

"really?"

Kitahara Tsutomu was ecstatic.

Now, you said it, don’t go back on your word.

"You think beautiful!"

Eriri was so angry when she saw that Watanabe Tsuyoshi not only didn't try to keep her after she broke up with him, but also couldn't help but smile. She used her twintails to use Starburst Healing Slash directly, which was so fast that it left an afterimage and hit Kitahara Tsuyoshi like a whip.

"Don't think I don't know. You want to dump me and go find Fatty Xia to get back together, right?"

"Uh... no."

He finally got rid of Kasumigaoka Utaha.

If I try to get back together with her, isn't that asking for trouble?

Moreover, Kitahara Takashi now looks down on Kasumigaoka Utaha, the new genius light novel writer.

After all, the people he serves now are all the real daughters of gangsters, daughters of wealthy families, and daughters of chaebols. Are they the ones that Cricket Kasumi Yamayuki can cheat on?

Ask the women who have dated rich second-generations, which one of them would still be attracted to ordinary people?

He's making progress, how about you? (Women please don't disturb me, any bad comments will be deleted)

"You misunderstood." "I'm telling you, Watanabe Takashi, forget it!"

Eriri didn't even bother to listen to Kitahara Takashi's explanation.

"For me, there is only widowhood, not breakup."

Not far away, Mr. Li, who was setting up the barbecue grill, looked up at the two people arguing across from him and couldn't help but sigh: "These two have such a good relationship."

Sayuri Sawamura also took a look, then lowered her head to continue brushing the red and white beef with sauce and salt and pepper.

We are going to have a barbecue at noon today.

"What's the point? He won't marry into the Sawamura family, let alone become your son-in-law. Give up."

Li's father suddenly felt disappointed: "Is there really no possibility at all?"

"You said you liked Aki before, why did you change your mind so quickly?"

Sayuri Sawamura said teasingly with a smile.

"I actually don't have any feelings for Tomoya Aki. I said that before mainly because Eriri likes him."

Li's father set up the barbecue grill and started adding charcoal.

"But this child is different."

Sayuri Sawamura was curious about her husband's opinion of Kitahara Takashi, so she asked, "What's the difference?"

"After talking to him, I found that this child has a maturity and decisiveness that is not in line with his age, and his mind is clear."

"He knows exactly what he wants. He won't risk his life for a woman, nor will he give up his future for love."

"He possesses the confidence of a young man, but not blindly. He knows how to assess the situation and, when necessary, he can swallow his pride and lower his stance."
