The air gradually warmed up and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Kitajima Miyuki felt the blood rushing to her head, burning her cheeks. She lowered her head, trying to hide her embarrassment, but she couldn’t help looking up at him, eager to meet his eyes.

However, her wish was destined not to come true.

He remained focused on his book, not noticing her disturbed mood at all.

Kitajima Miyuki could only sigh to herself and stare at the stars outside the window.

They seemed to be laughing at her timidity, yet also seemed to be encouraging her to pursue that heartbeat.

Kitajima Miyuki bit her lower lip and decided to take this step.

She mustered up her courage, put down the book, and called softly: “Xiu Xing…”

“What’s wrong?” Watanabe Hideyuki put down the book in his hand and looked at the hesitant Miyuki…

Chapter 164 25P.M.

“What’s wrong?” Watanabe Hideyuki put down the book in his hand and looked at the hesitant Kitajima Miyuki.

His eyes were full of confusion, but also mixed with an indescribable tenderness.

Kitajima Miyuki took a deep breath, her heart pounding so hard that it seemed like it was going to jump out of her chest.

She met Watanabe Hideyuki’s gaze and whispered, “Hideyuki, I…I have something to say to you.”

“I…” She swallowed and mustered up all her courage. In an instant, her cheeks turned red uncontrollably, like a ripe apple.

“what?”

Before Watanabe Hideyuki could hear clearly what was said, suddenly, a soft body approached him, and before he could react, a pair of warm lips were already pressed on his lips.

This sudden kiss stunned Watanabe Hideyuki, his eyes widened and his mind went blank.

The kiss was so sudden and so intense that he could feel the other’s passion and determination.

The other’s lips were soft and warm, with an indescribable sweetness. He seemed to be overwhelmed by this passion and for a moment he even forgot to react.

Kitajima Miyuki was trembling slightly in Watanabe Hideyuki’s arms. This kiss seemed to have exhausted all her courage… After a long time, their lips parted.

This deep and long kiss seemed to sober up Kitajima Miyuki a lot.

She seemed to be scalded and instantly broke free from Watanabe Hideyuki’s arms. The redness on her cheeks became even more intense and her eyes flashed with panic and shyness.

She lowered her head in a hurry, not daring to look at Watanabe Hideyuki again, then turned around and ran away in a panic, leaving behind the panic and Watanabe Hideyuki’s surprise.

Watanabe Hideyuki sat there in a daze, his eyes still fixed on Kitajima Miyuki’s panicked back as she ran away.

His heartbeat had not yet calmed down, and the shock and sweetness brought by the kiss were still echoing in his heart.

He touched his lips gently with his hand and seemed to still feel the warmth and softness of Kitajima Miyuki.

A complex expression appeared on his face, showing surprise, confusion, and inexplicable joy.

Just now…something seemed to happen?

Watanabe Hideyuki thought with some uncertainty.

“Is her skirt a Doraemon four-dimensional pocket?

How come you can take out anything?

If Ito Hideki was not a prisoner now, he really wanted to touch it himself and see what kind of treasures were inside.

While he was in a daze, Chun seemed to remember something and took off the handcuffs again. He put on the black sweatshirt he wore when he came, a hat on his head that covered half of his face, and a mask.

At the end, she did not forget to put the handcuffs back on.

Chun wrapped herself tightly.

Ito Hideki looked down at himself, but he could only wear his home clothes and had handcuffs on his hands.

If his housecoat had been striped, he would have looked like a prisoner.

At this moment, he regretted it a little.

If he had known that he would go out in this image, he would never ask the girl to go out.

However… In order to prevent the handcuffs from being discovered, Tsubaki stuffed Ito Hideki’s hands into her wide sleeves, then crossed her hands and gently held his hands.

This wonderful feeling made Ito Hideki tremble all over, as if an electric current passed through his body, making his heart beat faster, and he felt a little shy and a little excited.

Now…he suddenly doesn’t regret it anymore.

On the way to the supermarket, passers-by kept looking at the two people strangely.

To be precise, Ito Hideki believed that all those eyes were staring at him, and he could discern a complex mixture of emotions including surprise, envy, jealousy, and disdain.

The content is roughly as follows: “It’s good to be young, you never get tired of it”, “It’s so hot, but you still hold hands together, don’t you feel hot?”, “This couple is really playful”, “Wow, I also want a girl to hold hands with every day”…

Ito Hideki tried hard to stay calm and not to appear too uneasy under such gazes.

Tsubaki seemed to sense his discomfort and gently squeezed his hand hidden in his sleeve.

This action should have been a comfort, but what Ito Hideki felt was not warm comfort, but an indescribable sense of oppression.

Then, Tsubaki leaned close to Ito Hideki’s ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: “Teacher Jinye, don’t even think about asking for help or playing any tricks, or you will die miserably.”

Ito Hideki’s heart shuddered, and the girl’s cold words pulled him back to reality from his peaceful state.

He nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Chun meant.

After arriving at the supermarket, Tsubaki picked up some fresh vegetables, and after taking a look around, looking at the snacks and vegetables in the shopping cart, Tsubaki turned to face Ito Hideki.

“Is there anything else you want to eat?” Chun asked in a calm tone.

Because she was wearing a mask and a hat, he couldn’t see the girl’s facial features at all, so he could only see her eyes.

Is it a courtesy or…?

Before he could make a choice, an old lady nearby saw two people blocking the passage and pushed him away.

He was still mumbling something.

I felt the strange looks from people coming and going in the supermarket.

Ito Hideki was at a loss, and his cheeks felt burning.

“No, that’s enough. Let’s go back first?” Ito Hideki replied, shaking his head.

Now he just wanted to go back quickly.

Facing the gazes of these people, he felt like he was about to die on the spot.

“Push it.” Tsubaki ordered briefly.

Then she turned around and took out her cell phone from her pocket with her only remaining right hand, while Ito Hideki obediently pushed the shopping cart with his left hand.

He didn’t even dare to raise his head along the way, for fear that he would meet someone he knew and call him on the road, thus exposing his current strange situation.

That feeling of being on edge is like walking on a tightrope; if you’re not careful you could expose your embarrassment and anxiety.

Back at the apartment, he looked at the girl who had taken off her hat and mask, as well as the vegetables and snacks they had just bought together.

Finally home.

Returning to this familiar and safe environment, he felt as if he had found himself again. The thorny gazes and depressing atmosphere on the road were all isolated outside as the apartment door closed.

Ito Hideki breathed a long sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

He feels…?

Before he could express his feelings, Tsubaki removed the handcuffs that bound them both and chained him again.

“What do you want to eat tonight?” the girl asked casually.

“Beef stew.” Ito Hideki didn’t have time to get rid of the discomfort in his heart, and hurriedly added, “And fried chicken.”

He knew the girl’s cooking skills, so he bought beef specially at the supermarket just now.

The most important thing is…the money for buying the beef was paid by the girl.

The girl may be wrong, but the food is not.

You can disappoint a girl, but you can never disappoint delicious food.

As soon as he finished speaking, the girl turned and walked into the kitchen.

And he was left alone in the bedroom by the girl.

Ito Hideki sat back in front of the computer and started typing on the keyboard.

It is reasonable to exchange labor for delicious food.

However, when typing, Hideki Ito found that he was always unable to concentrate.

His fingers danced on the keyboard, but his thoughts often drifted far away.

Whenever he tried to put the story in his mind into words, a question would always stubbornly emerge and interrupt his train of thought.

This question was like an invisible ghost, constantly circling and wandering in his mind.

Ito Hideki would suddenly stop typing on the keyboard, his eyes becoming empty and deep, “What is the relationship between me and Tsubaki?”

This question kept echoing in his mind like an unsolvable mystery.

He tried to describe their relationship with words, but always felt that words were not enough and could not accurately express his inner feelings.

Whatever he wanted to eat, she would make.

But she didn’t seem to have any complaints about it.

And after eating.

She would also take the initiative to clean up the dishes.

Such meticulous care.

Even if it is love, ordinary people may not be able to do this without complaints.

So, Ito Hideki thought of this.

He suddenly thought.

Is it possible that Chun actually became fascinated with him after reading the novel he wrote?
