I was plotting against Hoshino Ai but was pushed back

Page 146

Saitohiko saw Hoshino Ai looking at the trees in the courtyard and said, “The maple tree over there, the two in the middle are pine trees. I heard they are called Podocarpus…”

When Hoshino Ai heard what Saito Hiko said, she turned her gaze away and stopped looking at him.

There was something she wanted to ask, but she was too embarrassed to ask, so she could only remain silent.

For example, such a large yard…

At this time, Kyoko also drove the car into the yard.

“Don’t be so reserved. Just be casual. I’m the only one at home.” Seeing that Hoshino Ai looked a little reserved, Saito Hiko reminded her not to worry about meeting his parents in the house.

“Isn’t today Saturday? Is Hiko-kun home alone?” Hoshino Ai heard Saito Hiko’s words and moved her lips to ask, but she hesitated for a while and finally did not ask out loud.

She was worried that asking this question might bring back bad memories for Saito Hiko.

Seeing that Hoshino Ai had something to say, Saito Hiko waited for her follow-up.

Kyoko parked the car quickly. When she got out of the car, she saw the two still standing in the yard. Hoshino Ai looked reserved but hesitant, so she said to Saito Hiko, “What’s wrong with you, the host? You just invited someone in, why don’t you show them in quickly?”

“I see… forget it.” Saito Hiko wanted to explain himself after hearing what Kyoko said, but he did not bring the person in, which was his fault, even though he originally wanted to wait for Hoshino Ai to speak.

He reached out, turned the door lock, opened the door and walked in.

“Come in quickly.” He walked into the room first and said to Hoshino Ai who was still outside the door.

“Hmm…” Hoshino Ai responded in a low voice. She didn’t go in, but wanted Kyoko to go first.

Kyoko saw that Hoshino Ai was so reserved and was waiting for her to go in first. Seeing Hoshino Ai’s look, she shook her head slightly in her heart.

It’s been five months.

Kyoko sighed in her heart, knowing that for Hoshino Ai’s situation, things could only change slowly.

She walked into the house and shouted to Saito Yan: “Hurry up and bring out your refreshments.”

Hoshino Ai just followed Saito Hiko in silently.

As soon as she walked into the entrance hall, she saw the living room not far away, with neatly arranged tables in the living room.

The house looks quite large from the outside, and this feeling becomes even more obvious when you walk into the house.

The kitchen, the closet, and a rectangular machine with a small light on…

She saw Saitohiko walk to the machine and flip the switch, and a red light came on.

Kyoko walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down. She patted the seat next to her to signal Hoshino Ai that she wanted Hoshino Ai to sit next to her.

Hoshino Ai did not sit there, but sat on the edge of the sofa.

Saito Hiko walked to the water dispenser and pressed the switch at the back, and a red light came on.

He took advantage of this time to take out the black tea leaves and cups. After he prepared everything, he said to the two people sitting on the sofa, “You have to wait a moment.”

“You said you wanted us in as guests, but that’s a bit shabby.” Kyoko said when she saw that Saito Hiko had only prepared tea sets.

Although she knew that Saito Hiko was home alone and had nothing to entertain guests.

“Hey, hey! You’re just a bad guest!” Saitohiko complained about Kyoko’s unbridled behavior, “It’s not like you haven’t been here before.”

“It’s one thing for you to invite me in as a guest, and it’s another thing for me to have been here before.” Kyoko said as she sat on the sofa, “It’s already this time, it’s time to prepare dinner.”

As she spoke, she stood up and walked to the refrigerator next to the kitchen to see if there were any ingredients to prepare dinner.

“I just got back and didn’t have time to buy groceries. Don’t look for it. There’s nothing in the refrigerator.” Saito Hiko saw Kyoko rummaging through the refrigerator and said to her directly.

Hoshino Ai looked at the two people talking and felt much more relaxed when she saw that their attention was not on her.

She sat on the sofa, bent over, supporting her face with one hand, looking at Saito Hiko who was standing in the distance.

“Since you knew there was no food in the refrigerator, why didn’t you tell me when you passed the supermarket just now?” Kyoko still opened the refrigerator, and there was indeed no food in it just as Saito Hiko said, but there were five cartons of milk drinks.

She took out a box, broke off the straw attached to the bottle, inserted it into the paper box, and then took out another box.

“You let us drink tea in such a hot day, do you want to heat us to death? Ai, drink this.” Kyoko sipped the drink and handed the other box she had just taken to Hoshino Ai.

When Saitohiko saw what Kyoko did, he was silent for a moment, and then he answered her previous question after a while: “It’s not too late to go now.”

“You can’t even take care of yourself and you live alone. Your parents are so careless…” Kyoko took this opportunity to complain. After giving Hoshino Ai a drink, she put the drink aside, washed the rice, and put it in the pot to cook.

“It’s just that they are busy. They still come to visit occasionally.” Saito Yan replied: “Besides, this is my own request, not that they are comfortable with me living alone.”

After hearing what the two of them said, Hoshino Ai realized that Saito Hiko had also lived alone before.

“Okay, let’s not talk about this. Go get some snacks for Ai. I’ll go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients.” Kyoko let the rice cook, picked up the milk again, drank it and walked to the door. She said to Saito Hiko, “I’ll call you later. When the phone rings, open the door and pick me up.”

“By the way, Ai, do you want to eat anything?” Kyoko asked Hoshino Ai before leaving.

“I’ll eat whatever you buy.” Hoshino Ai did not tell Kyoko what she wanted to eat.

After hearing Hoshino Ai’s reply, Kyoko opened the door and walked out, “Yes, I understand.”

“Can’t you just ask me something?” Saito Hiko saw Kyoko walk out and shouted to her loudly to make sure she couldn’t hear him.

“No need to take your opinion into consideration!” Kyoko replied and closed the door.

Hoshino Ai smiled when she heard the conversation between the two. She leaned back on the sofa, playing with a cardboard box in her hands.

“Wait a minute, I’ll go upstairs to get something.” Saito Hiko said as he walked upstairs, returned to his room, and took out individually packaged biscuits and pastries.

After seeing Saito Hiko coming upstairs, Hoshino Ai played with the cardboard box for a while and then put it on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

Saitohiko packed up the snacks and went downstairs.

He saw Hoshino Ai putting down the drink.

“You can’t drink ice today?” Saito Yan asked, “Or are you feeling unwell?”

After he finished speaking, he realized that there was something wrong with the question.

“I can drink… I’m not feeling unwell…”

Hoshino Ai shook her head in response, and then she suddenly realized what Saito Hiko was asking.

Can I drink ice? I’m not feeling well.

Why can’t you drink ice?

Well……

Can’t drink ice during that period?

He actually asked about that!

It’s definitely intentional!

Who asked if they could drink something cold at the beginning? They only asked if they felt uncomfortable later!

The more Hoshino Ai thought about it, the more she felt that Saito Hiko did it on purpose.

“Damn it! You idiot! Hentai!!!” the girl yelled at Saito Hiko shyly.

Saito Yan knew that he had said something wrong, but he certainly couldn’t admit it, so he decided to play dumb and put the cakes on the coffee table with a blank look on his face, as if he was the victim and didn’t understand what he had done wrong. “Huh? I’m concerned about your health, right? Why are you scolding me all of a sudden?”

Looking at Saito Hiko’s expression, Hoshino Ai couldn’t help but wonder if she had heard it wrong.

Did I hear him ask me if I wanted to drink something cold? Did I mishear it as “I can’t drink something cold”?

Hoshino Ai stared at Saito Hiko, trying to find flaws in his expression.

When Saito Hiko saw Hoshino Ai staring at him, he naturally didn’t want to look away to avoid being accused of being guilty, so he also stared into Hoshino Ai’s eyes.

The two looked at each other for a while, and Hoshino Ai couldn’t bear it anymore and looked away.

It feels so weird staring at each other…

The girl felt a little overwhelmed, but she was too embarrassed to pick up the drink or snack.

“So why were you staring at me suddenly just now? Why did you suddenly scold me?”

Saito Hiko asked, taking advantage of the situation.

Hoshino Ai pretended not to hear Saito Hiko’s question.

Seeing that there was no response to his question, Saito Hiko didn’t want to force her anymore. He picked up the box of drinks in front of Hoshino Ai, broke off the straw, inserted it into the paper box, and handed the drink to the girl.

Since she wasn’t feeling unwell, it was probably because she was too nervous to eat or drink for the first time.

Saitohiko made a judgment and said, “Drinking some cold drinks can help relieve the heat. It’s still very hot today.”

When Hoshino Ai heard Saito Hiko pick up the paper box and remove the straw, she thought he was going to drink from it, but she didn’t expect that he was actually helping her insert the straw.

Did I really hear it wrong just now?

He is not going to deliberately ask me that kind of question, right?

Seeing that Hoshino Ai was still in a daze, Saito Hiko moved the paper box with the straw to her lips.

Seeing the straw getting closer, Hoshino Ai quickly stepped back and reached out to grab the paper box, “Thank you, I can do it myself.”

After the girl snatched the box, she huddled in the corner of the sofa, holding a straw in her mouth and drinking milk from the bottle.

Chapter 191 Expedited

When Saito Hiko saw Hoshino Ai’s look, he couldn’t help but laugh, and as he laughed, his cell phone rang.

Hoshino Ai was puzzled by Saito Hiko’s sudden laughter.

What is he laughing at? Is he laughing at me for being timid and backing away, or something else?

Why did the phone ring at this time? I really want to ask him.

Because her cell phone rang, she didn’t have the chance to ask Saito Hiko.

Saito Hiko took out his cell phone and checked the caller ID out of habit.

The number is not Kyoko’s.

It’s an unfamiliar number.

It looks like the mangoes have arrived.

Saitohiko looked at the number and thought, then he pressed the answer button.

“Excuse me, are you Mr. Saito from No. XXX?” a young man asked from the other end.

“I am?” Saito Hiko replied.
