"… "
Kurosawa Hikaru was silent, not knowing how to respond.
Although the tone of the conversation was light-hearted and cheerful, the content of the topic was very heavy.
What he saw was not the beautiful and elegant face of Shifengyuan Mirai, but what was behind it.
It was a soul that had been bound and suppressed for many years, longing for liberation and freedom, and was almost crazy.
Suddenly, he recalled what Miss Runa had said.
The stricter the family education, the more repressed the thoughts and concepts. There are some things that cannot be done. She definitely has the urge in her heart, and it only takes an opportunity for her to explode.
His appearance was undoubtedly the opportunity that Shifengyuan had been waiting for in the future.
As long as he says yes, the fierce beast suppressed in the girl's heart will break out of the cage.
What's more, the cage was already crumbling, and the crazy soul was trying every means to get out.
Extramarital affairs and keeping a mistress, these rebellious and rule-abiding thoughts that were inconsistent with her identity and character were spoken out by her in a joking manner.
"Why aren't you talking? Don't take it seriously, I was just joking."
Seeing that he remained silent, Shifengyuan Mirai suddenly panicked, reached out and patted his shoulder, forcing a smile.
The smile on that pretty face should have been stunning... but that smile was bitter and forced.
"… "
Kurosawa Mitsuru opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know where to start.
Because of the existence of the system, there is one thing he can be sure of.
As long as the task can be triggered, it means that the girl has a good impression of him.
Today's date mission has a goal to shoot an arrow into her heart, not physically, but spiritually.
Although the system did not explicitly say that it was a heartbeat, the principle should be similar.
In short, with the completion of the task, her feelings for him were no longer just a simple liking for him. It might have turned into liking him, or even falling in love, so she said such words.
She has already accepted her fate, and she will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being arranged by her family to marry someone else in the future... Her current behavior is actually a cry for help, trying to grab a branch in the powerless quagmire so as not to be completely swallowed up.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made such an excessive joke, don't be angry."
Because he remained silent, Shifengyuan Mirai got really panicked. She looked around and then moved closer to apologize in a low voice.
It would be so painful if I lost this hard-earned friend of the opposite sex because of the joke I just made.
The apology was humble, like a plea for forgiveness.
"I'm not angry, I'm just thinking about something."
When Kurosawa Mitsuru saw her like this, he shook his head and said.
"What?"
Finding that he finally spoke, Shifengyuan Mirai breathed a sigh of relief and asked in confusion.
"Did you start thinking about supporting a man after you met me, or did you have that thought before?"
“Is there any difference?”
“For me, there is a difference.”
"It was after I met you..."
Shifengyuan Mirai noticed that he was a little serious. After hesitating for a few seconds, he lowered his head a little embarrassedly and whispered.
If I really have to talk about the origin of this idea, it was when Kurosawa Mitsuru took off his half-sleeves and I saw the beautiful and sexy left shoulder, and the handsome and awe-inspiring figure standing with a bow in his hand.
She had to admit that she was moved.
She knew that Kurosawa Hikaru's family background was very ordinary, otherwise he wouldn't need to be a tutor.
The huge gap between the rich and the poor planted a seed in her heart... When Kurosawa Hikaru knew her fate, she exploded.
And she was very clear about one thing, Kurosawa Hikaru must like her, otherwise he wouldn't have suddenly mustered up the courage to talk to her before. Maybe he would agree to be supported by her.
"Is that so?"
Kurosawa Hikaru fell into deep thought again.
In fact, he had a way to help Shihouin escape his fate in the future, which was to follow Sato Shinichi's advice and become famous.
But he couldn't easily respond and say that he had the means to marry her.
Because this sentence contains responsibility and commitment, and his feelings for Shifengyuan Mirai are just goodwill, or even a little pity. He gets close to her just to make her happy and relaxed.
In fact, Kurosawa Hikaru knew that what he did was despicable, but no one could resist the temptation of the system's rewards, even if they were all talents rather than actual money.
It is always good to have many skills, and these talents allow him to have a completely different life.
Because he knows that his behavior is bad, what he subconsciously does is to make the woman satisfied and happy during the date.
Try to give as much as possible instead of taking, which can help alleviate guilt.
Even if they separate in the future and no longer date, he will not regret what he did not do in the first place and feel guilty towards others.
But when the reality came, he realized that he was wrong.
No matter how well he does or how much he gives, he can't abandon the other person with a clear conscience.
During the dating process, as they get to know each other and spend time together, their feelings will gradually heat up, the woman will cherish him more, and so will he.
Even if you are just friends, after spending a long time together, you would feel reluctant to cut off the relationship, let alone the relationship between a man and a woman.
If one day, he was asked to choose between Yuki and Miss Ninomiya, would he be able to choose
He was dating Yuki-chan, and Miss Ninomiya, and even the current Shihouin Mirai.
There may be other women later for the reward of dating missions.
Being between several women at the same time, perhaps his future relationship with Shifengyuan has just begun... But who can guarantee that the relationship will stagnate? His relationship with Xiaoyouji has also improved with each date and meeting.
"Are you considering it?"
Finding that he was in deep thought, Shifengyuan Mirai waited for a while, and became a little impatient, so he couldn't help but ask.
Could it be that the thought "I want to support you because it's you" made Kurosawa Mitsuru's heart moved
"If I said I wasn't a good person, what would you think?"
Kurosawa Hikaru thought for a long time, raised his eyes to meet hers, and asked.
"What can I think? You are not a good person, and neither am I."
Shifengyuan Mirai, who had been expecting him to agree, was speechless upon hearing this.
She just didn't think that this guy was an honest and good man, so she couldn't help but propose the idea of supporting him.
"What if I'm a two-timing, three-timing philanderer?"
Kurosawa Hikaru realized that she might have misunderstood, and after hesitating, he still mustered up the courage to ask.
"Serious?" Shifengyuan Mirai looked at him.
"Seriously." Kurosawa Hikaru nodded.
“Hmm…” Realizing that he was not joking, Shifengyuan Mirai fell into deep thought.
"It doesn't matter if you use my money to pick up women, but you have to spend more time with me." After thinking for a while, she gritted her teeth and went for it.
Although it was a bit uncomfortable, Kurosawa Hikaru was probably the same way. After all, she was marrying someone else, and she needed liberation and freedom to support him.
"Does your agreement to this require you to marry someone else and support me?"
"yes."
"What if you don't have to marry someone else, but marry me?"
"Why so many ifs..."
“That’s just how many there are.”
"If you can really get my grandfather to agree, I can buy you four or five boats, not to mention three."
Although it was a bit troublesome, Shifengyuan Mirai didn't mind fantasizing. He thought about it for a few seconds and then smiled.
Maybe it sounds a bit strange, but the education she received since childhood was very traditional, extremely traditional.
Japan traditionally adheres to monogamy, but there are no regulations regarding concubines.
Her view on marriage is that even if her husband has an extramarital affair after marriage, as long as he does not have illegitimate children, she does not need to care. She just needs to stay as the first wife and raise the children.
