back

"Takatsuki, this is..." When Inoue returned to the hotel with the big bags and small bags, the room seemed to have just been ransacked.

"Sorry, I made it all." Shinobu didn't even look up, and flipped through the book in his hand word by word.

"That's nothing..." Putting down the bag in his hand, Inoue sat on his bed.Not knowing what to do and having no topic to talk about, Inoue randomly picked up a piece of paper from the ground.A lot of words were scribbled on the piece of paper, such as the call from the owner of the second-hand bookstore, and the need to forbear to send the suit to the dry cleaner, etc., one of which was circled several times.

【Give back that parenting book to Hiroki. 】

"By the way, I'm going home today." Shinobu sighed, and put the paper in his hand back into the box.

"Takatsuki has been out with me for so many days, and I should go home." Inoue lay down on the bed, "I'm almost the same, it's time to go back to Australia."

"That's right, that's it." Feeling a little lost in his heart, Shinobu stopped his movements.

"Aren't you a bit reluctant to part with me?" Inoue smiled, although he knew in his heart the hidden bitterness in that smile.The mind is too clear, this question has no practical significance, and even the answer is pitifully clear, but for some reason, there is a voice in my heart that I must ask.

"Don't say it," Ren smiled, "Really, I'm really reluctant."

The two of them who heard this answer had a regretful expression on their faces, and fell silent instantly.Inoue stood up suddenly, and pulled Shinobu who was kneeling on the bed into his arms.

"Well..." Shinobu panicked, his body was too stiff.

"Ichliebedich, aber...Tutmirleid...(I love you, but...I'm sorry...)" Inoue murmured silently, strengthening his arms.

"What's that, German? Say something I can understand..."

"Just a moment, let's say goodbye."

"Then what did you just say?"

"Take care." It turned out that I really like this person.The warmth spread in the eye sockets, and Inoue couldn't help laughing at himself, "Be happy."

"Really, it's fine to just say no, what's so cute." He smiled and patted Inoue on the back.

"It's hard for me to be romantic once." Inoue rubbed his eyes, let go of Shinobu in his arms, "Go home early, don't let your family wait for you."

"Well," Shinobu looked at his phone, "I'll be back when I'm done."

"Well, be careful on the road." Inoue nodded, watching the door close, the smile still fixed on the corner of his mouth.

When I opened the door, I saw many pairs of shoes in the hallway.Laughter came from the living room from time to time, and his father suddenly called him back again, thinking that he also knew that there was someone to entertain at home, which made Shinobu feel uncomfortable all over.

"Shin, it's too late!" Although she was very angry, Risako lowered her voice, "Why are you dressed so casually... Forget it, come in quickly, everyone is waiting for you."

"Who are they?"

"Don't ask so many questions, go in quickly." My sister was dressed very formally, even her hair was neatly arranged, and she also wore all kinds of jewelry.

Shinobu was pushed into the living room, where it suddenly became quiet.I forgot for a while, my father, brother-in-law, and four people I had never seen before were sitting on the sofa.Seeing the shirt and jeans on Shinobu, Takatsuki Yuo was obviously displeased, but he didn't say anything.

"This is Inuko, I asked him to go out to do some errands, so he came so late." Yufu Takatsuki motioned for Shinobu to sit on the sofa beside him.

"Takatsuki-kun looks so energetic, so handsome." Ikeda Yoko looked up and down Shinobu with a smile.

"Shinobu, this is the president and wife of Ikeda Bank, and this is Miss Ikeda Miki, the only daughter of Ikeda Bank." Yuo Takatsuki smiled, "Ms. Ikeda just came back from studying in the UK, majoring in finance."

"Originally we wanted to find a suitable place, but your brother-in-law is going to run for office. It's better to minimize your public appearances, and treat it as an ordinary family dinner." Takatsuki Yufu tried his best to speak sincerely, Ikeda Kuan listened and nodded in agreement.

"Is it a blind date?" The girl opposite had decent makeup, and her pink dress made her look like a doll in the window.Shinobu simply saluted, and didn't look carefully at the girl's face, but kept looking at Takatsuki Yuo with slightly angry eyes.

"I suggested not to tell the young master in advance." Ryo Nosaka picked up the cake and carefully cut it with a fork. "Young people nowadays are more or less disgusted with such things."

"It's okay, we all understand this." Ikeda Kyoko smiled commercially and looked at Ikeda Hiroshi.After getting her husband's permission, she turned to Nosaka Ryo with a smile, "It's just..."

"Just say it." Putting the fork on the plate, Ryo Nosaka wiped his lips with his fingers.

"I heard that Master Takatsuki had a lover before. Of course I heard it, but it was rumored that he looked good, so I want to confirm..."

"You actually listen to such silly things." Nosaka Ryo sneered.

"We too, to ensure our daughter's happiness." Ikeda Kan, who had been silent all this time, opened his mouth.Ikeda Miki raised her head and looked at Shinobu very seriously with her big dark gray eyes.

"I still know our young master. He is very affectionate and gets along very well with his friends-but he still has a sense of proportion." When he said this, Nosaka looked at Shinobu, and the two When the eyes met, he didn't hide the sneer hidden in his eyes at all.

"Let's put it this way, in order to ensure the safety of the young master, I have always arranged for someone to stay with the young master every day, of course as a friend." Nosaka took out a handkerchief, as if to dust off the cake crumbs left on his pants, "The young master hasn't dated anyone before, but he is devoted to further studies. However, there are quite a few girls who like the young master. I know all of this. Don't you, young master?"

Staying by his side all the time... Shinobu suddenly got goosebumps all over his body, and Inoue Liuhui's face flashed in his mind.

"so..."

"Stop talking." Shinobu stood up, his face pale.

"Shin, what a disrespect, quickly apologize to Mr. and Mrs. Ikeda!" Risako pinched her skirt anxiously, and the Ikeda couple's expressions were very ugly.

"I put the words here," Shinobu stared into Nosaka Ryo's eyes, "No matter who it is, don't try to interfere in my life, don't try to make any decisions for me, in anything!"

"Hey! Shinobu!" Not even paying for his father's account, Yufu Takatsuki's fists were shaking with anger, Shinobu didn't stop, but quickly slammed the door and left.

"Alas, alas," Nosaka Ryo looked at the disappearing figure by the window, "Young master, it's still the same as before."

Running out of the house, Shinobu took a taxi and hurried back to the hotel where Inoue was staying.

How could it be possible to be by my side all the time? !Inoue Liuhui?Unintentionally looking at Tokyo at night, Shinobu wanted to laugh while recalling the group of people just now and what they had said.

Ikeda... Shinobu suddenly stopped laughing when he thought of this surname.The smile faded, the corners of the mouth gradually returned to the expressionless state, and finally even stopped breathing.

【You have received a remittance from Ikeda Bank. 】

"Shin, I'm back so early." Inoue was wearing sweatpants, his upper body was naked, and he was holding a bottle of mineral water in his hand.

"I originally wanted to collect your things for you, but I thought that if I lost something, I wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility, so..." Shinobi said with a sullen face, and didn't say a word from the moment he entered the door.

"Shinobu, what's the matter..." Inoue screwed the cap on the bottle, walked up to Shinobu and lowered his head, feeling distressed, "Who bullied you, what's wrong with you, why did you become like this when you went home?"

"Why..." Opening Inoue's hand on his forehead, Shinobu shouted, "Why are you all lying to me???!!!"
