Tokyo's most affectionate

"Indeed." Kurosawa Mitsuru looked down and nodded.

"I have an umbrella~" At this moment, Yuki Ichinose took out a folding umbrella from her bag.

Because they are hot girls, they care more about the weather than ordinary girls, because whether the weather is good or bad affects whether they do indoor or outdoor activities.

Besides, your makeup will get ruined if it gets wet in the rain.

……

When Kurosawa Hikaru returned home, took a shower and changed into clean clothes, it was already past 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Leaving the bathroom and walking into the bedroom, Kurosawa Hikaru sat down on the edge of the bed, picked up the phone connected to the charging cable and took a look, and saw the message replied by Koyuki.

"I'm home now, and my clothes are wet. I'm going to take a shower first."

"go Go."

Kurosawa Hikaru replied with his phone and started wiping his hair with a towel.

This time he arrived home first because his home was closer to the Budokan.

Originally, he wanted to send Xiao Youji to the door of her house, but Xiao Youji was unwilling, saying that her clothes were wet and asked him to go home and take a shower.

Staying alone at home, the room is very quiet and the sound of rain outside the window seems to trap everyone in the house.

Girls usually take longer to bathe than boys.

After drying his hair, Kurosawa Mitsuru put the dry towel aside, relaxed his body, and fell on the bed.

Looking at the familiar ceiling, because he was alone, he had time to think alone.

Today was particularly long. The Kyudo competition was very simple and had no difficulty for him.

But after the Kyudo competition, things happened that became more complicated and difficult.

"What does Yuki-chan mean by comfort zone..."

Kurosawa Hikaru was pondering a question and felt deeply puzzled.

Logically speaking, even after he got the system, he did not stay in his comfort zone. Even though he was very busy and tired every day, he tried his best to do everything well.

At 0 o'clock in the morning, people will enter the Internet Depression Music mode. In fact, it is because everyone will think about many things when they are alone.

There was a brief silence. Although he intended to focus on Xiao Yuki's affairs, something deep in his heart was stirring and ready to come out.

That was the heart-wrenching pain, the guilt, and the shame of regret that he wanted to suppress.

Along with this emotion is the figure and appearance of Chizuru Ninomiya.

Suddenly, he couldn't help but pick up his phone, opened Line, found a name, and clicked on it.

This is the chat interface of Chizuru Ninomiya. The last chat record was last week.

They did not communicate in text at the time, but recorded the duration of their voice chats.

Perhaps Line will not retain the content of the voice call, but he still remembers the content of that call clearly.

At that time, because junior Miki was waiting for him at the school gate, they went to a cafe to have a drink and chat. Miss Ninomiya found out about this and called him to question him.

That day, Miss Ninomiya was so jealous just by seeing him drinking coffee and chatting with his junior Miki.

Not only that, but when he carried Miss Runa home on his back, she would get jealous and would ask him to carry her to the door when they went down the stairs.

He should have noticed long ago that Miss Ninomiya was very jealous, definitely the most jealous of the three girls.

Just seeing him chatting and laughing with other girls would make me angry, but seeing him having more intimate contact with other girls with my own eyes, and more than once, how could I not collapse?

"sorry."

Thinking of today's result, Kurosawa Mitsuru's fingers moved slightly, and he couldn't help but type some words to apologize.

However, just when he was about to send it, his thumb was on the send button, but he just didn't have the courage to press it.

Because before his eyes appeared the scene of Ninomiya Chizuru instinctively resisting and retreating when he approached her.

The multiple-choice questions on a test paper have right and wrong answers, but the multiple-choice questions in life are not just as simple as right and wrong. They also mean ever-changing and completely different results.

When people are in a state of Internet depression, the most common sadness is regret.

If only I had been nicer to her.

If only I hadn't broken up with her.

If only I hadn't said that in the first place.

There are no answers, no hints, and no chances to start over in life, so there is the emotion of regret.

"Yuki-chan said I was staying in my comfort zone, so this is what you meant..."

Putting down the phone, Kurosawa Hikaru found that he didn't even dare to apologize. He thought back to what Yuki said in the martial arts hall and her actions, and couldn't help but talk to himself.

The comfort zone does not mean complete comfort, it can also be understood as being content with the status quo.

Stepping out of your comfort zone means breaking the status quo and changing yourself.

It takes courage to do this. It is not just a word or a thought that means change.

It’s like many people want to lose weight, many people want to quit smoking... Even though they know this is not good, they still can’t break the status quo, and at most they can maintain it for a few days before returning to their original state.

Just one step is not enough to step out of your comfort zone. You must take many steps, or even keep walking, to change the status quo.

When Miss Ninomiya turned and left, he thought he respected her choice, but in fact he was afraid and chose to stay where he was.

If he had been as brave as Xiao Yuki and taken five or six steps instead of half a step, perhaps the matter could still have been saved.

Compared to him, Miss Ninomiya has already stepped out of her comfort zone for him and has taken many steps towards him.

First, she resigned, and then when she saw him being hugged by Xiao Yuki, she did not back down, but tried to stay calm and deal with the matter. Even in the end, she made a choice and replaced the answer with a kiss, determined to be together.

Faced with her constant rush towards him, he stayed in his comfort zone, letting things take their own course, and didn't even take a few more steps for Miss Ninomiya.

He does nothing. Is that really okay?

If he just gives up on Miss Ninomiya and respects her choice, will he really not regret it in the future?

He had just warned Xiao Youji to have a clear conscience, not to ask for results, but only to look back on today's events many years later and know that he had tried his best.

The funny thing is that he knew this truth but was completely unaware of it.

After thinking for a long time, Kurosawa Mitsuru picked up the phone again, looked at the message he had edited, and after hesitating with his thumb for a long time, he finally pressed the send button.

"sorry."

Even if she felt that he was untrustworthy and shameless, he still wanted to fight for it and make another effort.

"call……"

As he sent the Line message, Kurosawa Hikaru saw that the message was sent successfully. All the strength in his body seemed to be drained away, but the frustration in his heart was also revealed a little.

The apology that I hadn't said just now was finally said.

He didn't have any delusion that he could win Miss Ninomiya back with just a simple "I'm sorry", but this was just the beginning.

Life is still long and won’t end so soon, and the relationship between them can’t end so easily.

Chapter 261 Are you okay?

After leaving the martial arts hall, Chizuru Ninomiya returned to her apartment, hid in her room, and wrapped herself in a quilt.

As for Igarashi Runa, she sat by the bed, silent, waiting for her to vent.

The bedroom was a bit messy, with underwear, used stockings, and some clothes placed everywhere, stacked in a very messy manner.

Although it is messy, it is not dirty because Chizuru Ninomiya hires a part-time worker to help her clean every week.

But this time, it's particularly messy... Maybe it's because I've been too busy recently and too many things have happened.

Igarashi Runa stared fixedly at a wall in the room.

That is the wall next to the desk, and it is also one of the few neat and clean areas in the room.

There is a painting framed in an exquisite frame hanging on the wall. In the painting, Chizuru Ninomiya is sitting by a stream, with her hair tied up and playing in the water. She is so beautiful that it is fascinating, like a work of art.

After a long time, I came to the Ninomiya family and came to this bedroom. Igarashi Runa looked at the painting for a long time.

"Ugh……"

Her mood was complicated, melancholy, regretful, headache, and she sighed in her heart.

She regretted it because she knew she had done something wrong.

When they were at the Budokan, Chizuru had asked her for help. Out of selfishness, she said, "Don't think so much. Just think of one thing. Are you willing to give it up?"

That's right, she said this out of selfish motives... because even though she saw what kind of person the real Kurosawa Hikaru was and realized that he was a fickle and playboy, she still wanted to help him.

Because she has seen too many people like this in the entertainment industry. Although she has always hated this kind of people, what Kurosawa Hikaru did just happened to be on the edge of being hated.

Whether you are being honest with each other or before officially deciding on a relationship, your relationship with a girl should be limited to kissing and not cross the line.

Including these, but not only that, her selfishness is very complicated... so complicated that it is difficult to express it in one sentence.

She was immersed in her own world. As a bystander and outsider, she completely ignored Chizuru's mood and state at the time. One sentence forced Chizuru to make a choice between a dilemma.

However, human endurance is limited. If it exceeds this limit, people will collapse.

"Ding dong."

At this moment, a reminder bell rang in the silent room.

Hearing the voice, Igarashi Runa came to his senses and looked in the direction of the sound and saw Chizuru's cell phone.

It lay on the soft bed, near the head of the bed but not under the thin blanket.

Facing this prompt sound, the bulging hill did not move at all, and Ninomiya Chizuru still wrapped herself in the quilt.

Because of the angle, she saw the phone's screen was awakened by a prompt sound, which was a notification bar prompt from Line.

However, she couldn’t see clearly what the content was because the phone was facing her.

That could be a message from Kurosawa Hikaru... or it could be someone else's message. After all, they are all adults, and they have work to do and a large social circle, so it is normal for them to receive a lot of messages.

Igarashi Runa stared for a long time, until the phone screen went into sleep mode again, and she found that Chizuru had no intention of looking at it.

There are two possible results.

The first possibility is that she didn't notice it and was completely immersed in her own world. She was still in a state of depression and had no time to care about what was happening around her.

The second possibility is that she noticed it, but she no longer cared and was completely heartbroken.

If it were the first case, it would be fine. As long as Kurosawa Mitsuru put in some effort and find a way to make Chizuru happy, she might be able to get over this blow.

If it is the second case, then the matter is very serious. People who are extremely disappointed and completely collapsed are likely to have a drastic change in their temperament in the future.

"No... Is that really Kurosawa Hikaru's message?"

While thinking, Igarashi Runa suddenly thought of something.

If Chizuru went to see it as soon as she heard the news, but found out that it was not her... If Kurosawa Mitsuru respected everyone's choices as he said at the beginning, the problem would only become more serious.

Thinking of this possibility, she couldn't help but stand up, walk over, and want to wake up her phone to take a look.

"!"

When Igarashi Runa walked to the bedside, reached out and was about to press the wake-up button on her mobile phone, she was suddenly startled.

Because a hand suddenly stretched out from the quilt, grabbed the phone, and then dragged it into the dark abyss.

Seeing this scene, Igarashi Runa froze at the head of the bed, her heart pounding wildly.

I have to say, Chizuru in her mentally ill state is just as scary as ever.

It was like this last time, and it is like this now.

"Does she want to see it first? Or is she rejecting me?"

With a lingering fear in her heart, Igarashi Runa looked at the airtight quilt and thought in amazement.

Silence and indifference are terrible for any relationship.

In contrast, open communication is a good sign for all relationships... except arguments.

Suddenly, she realized... in this matter, the person Chizuru might hate was not only Kurosawa Hikaru, but also her.

Because after the game, she helped Kurosawa Hikaru more than once and rescued him many times.
