"You're still keeping us in suspense at a time like this..."
Hearing this, Igarashi Runa reached out and began to open the gift box.
After removing the packaging and opening the box, I saw an exquisite and beautiful pen, like a work of art, lying in the gift box.
"Mont Blanc? How did you know that this was the model I had my eyes on that day?"
When she saw this pen, Igarashi Runa was immediately surprised.
"Your eyes were glued shut at the time, and you tried it."
Kurosawa Hikaru noticed her expression, realized that the gift was the right choice, and smiled.
"Then I won't be polite."
Igarashi Runa admired the pen for a while, then closed the gift box and put it in her briefcase.
"No, why do you want to give me such a good gift all of a sudden?"
After receiving the gift, Igarashi Runa suddenly felt something was wrong.
Why is this guy suddenly so nice to her
Perhaps this pen is only 280,000 yen. With her financial ability, she can buy it easily if she wants.
But as a gift, this pen is extraordinary both in terms of price and thoughtfulness.
"Not only for the return gift of borrowing the car, but also for the haunted house in the amusement park. I have never thanked you properly."
Facing her suspicious gaze, Kurosawa Hikaru smiled and spoke frankly.
He was deeply impressed by the haunted house trip at Fuji-Q Highland.
To be honest, he wasn't really scared the whole time he walked through the haunted house because there was someone next to him who was even more scared.
Compared to this, the feeling of being relied on by Miss Ninomiya was great, which completely aroused his desire to protect her. Whenever he thinks back on it, it is still a beautiful memory.
"Did anything happen between you two in the haunted house?"
After hearing this, Igarashi Runa was no longer suspicious, but instead became curious.
"I'm sorry, I promised Ms. Ninomiya not to tell anyone."
Even though she was the wingman, Kurosawa Hikaru thought about it and still didn't say it.
"Eh... It's okay to tell me. I'm not an outsider. I almost got scared to death when I wanted you to be alone together. Look how much I sacrificed. Just tell me."
Igarashi Runa realized that she couldn't say it, but became even more curious, and was moved by emotion and reason.
People are creatures like this; the more a secret cannot be told, the more they want to find out.
Chizuru, one of the parties involved, refused to talk about what happened in the haunted house. She had been pestering him for a long time but failed to get any information. This time, Kurosawa's words reminded him.
"It's because I know you've sacrificed a lot that I want to give you a gift in return. Thank you."
However, Kurosawa remained unmoved and just smiled.
That day, the sight of Miss Runa curled up at the exit of the haunted house, crying with her head down, moved him and made him feel guilty.
It is precisely because of this that he respects Miss Runa very much and knows that she is a good person.
Sacrifice yourself to help others... Even if she is helping her best friend instead of a stranger, you can still see a person's character.
"Kurosawa, I'm your helper, just tell me. If you're worried that I'll tell others, don't worry, people in the entertainment industry are very tight-lipped, especially me."
Seeing his smile, Igarashi Runa felt more and more that something interesting had happened in the haunted house that day, and she suddenly became anxious.
"I know you are my helper, and I believe you won't tell anyone... But I promised Miss Ninomiya that I will never tell anyone in this life, or in the next."
Kurosawa Hikaru noticed that he was very curious and could only explain patiently.
"Kurosawa, you really can't tell me?"
Suddenly, Igarashi Runa took a step forward, closing the distance between them, then raised her head and looked at him with watery eyes with a pleading look, and her words were a little coquettish and her voice was a little delicate.
Looking up like this can stimulate a man's desire to protect and is very powerful.
Especially when a beauty of her level uses this skill, it can be said that she is invincible.
You know, when a man is looked up to by a girl, his vanity will be satisfied and he will be more likely to feel elated. At this time, as long as the request is not excessive, he will try his best to help.
"If you really want to know, you can find a breakthrough from Miss Ninomiya... And don't use this trick on me, your acting is too bad, and don't pinch your throat, you are so unskilled, don't you feel uncomfortable?"
However, Kurosawa Hikaru looked down at her, immune to this move, and shook his head.
Let's not talk about the destructive power of the coquettish look at her face at a 45-degree angle... She clamped her throat and her delicate voice was too fake. For Kurosawa Hikaru, who was just starting to sing, it was easy to tell that her voice was fake.
"Ahem... Is my performance so bad? Can you see through it at a glance?"
Hearing this, Igarashi Runa's delicate and artificial expression disappeared. She took a step back. It was indeed a bit uncomfortable to speak with a pinched throat. After coughing a few times, she felt depressed.
"It's not a question of acting skills. I know that with your personality, you would never do that. And you have to know that I studied singing and I am even better at pinching my throat than you are."
Seeing that she stopped pretending, Kurosawa Hikaru shrugged and smiled.
In his opinion, Miss Runa is the kind of female elite who is cheerful and sunny, speaks frankly, has strong action, has good vision, and is very smart.
Knowing this very well, Kurosawa Hikaru is very clear that even though people usually have two sides, this kind of hoarse voice and delicate green tea girl attitude is definitely not her style.
After all, he already knew both sides of Ms. Runa.
One is her private appearance, which is virtuous and family-oriented, relaxed and natural. When she is with friends, she loves to laugh and is very considerate. She takes care of everyone's feelings, just like the big sister next door.
One is her appearance at work, that is, a strong woman who is resolute, full of action, smart and sharp, and has a sharp eye.
"How is this contrived? This is a woman's little trick."
Igarashi Runa strongly disagrees with this statement.
She was a little speechless while denying it. Those tutorials on the Internet named "Teach you three sentences to make men do anything for you" were indeed unreliable.
"Then let me correct you. You are not the kind of woman who is full of little tricks."
Kurosawa Hikaru thought about it and decided that it was indeed not a good idea to say that people were pretentious, even if they were just pretending. It was just another way of saying it.
"That's more like it."
Igarashi Runa was quite satisfied with this statement. She was indeed not that kind of green tea girl.
"I'm sorry, but you should keep your word."
Seeing that she was no longer depressed, Kurosawa Mitsuru felt a little helpless.
If it was something else, he would have told Miss Runa directly.
But there’s really no way to explain this matter… Although nothing special happened in the haunted house that day, an agreement is an agreement.
"I know. I've given up and won't ask again."
Seeing that he even brought up the principles of life, although Igarashi Runa's soul was burning with gossip and she was itching to do something, there was nothing she could do.
After all, she couldn't be a bad person and tempt others to fall.
"Thank you for your understanding."
Kurosawa Hikaru nodded.
It is really comfortable to get along with mature, rational and intelligent people because they will understand your difficulties.
"It's time to go. It's not good to keep talking in the parking lot."
Seeing how upright he was, Igarashi Runa smiled, then turned around and walked away.
"Ms. Runa, are you planning on walking home?"
Seeing her take a step forward and walk away, Kurosawa Mitsuru stood there and looked at her back, then looked at the car next to them.
"How can I possibly walk home? I'll take the train back."
Igarashi Runa turned around, speechless.
Their home is quite far away. It's already past 9 o'clock in the evening. It would be crazy to walk back.
"Why do you want to take the tram? Your car is right here, drive back."
Kurosawa Hikaru didn't quite understand and took out the car keys from his pocket.
"I drive back, and you drive back? There's no need to go to all that trouble. Just do it this way."
Igarashi Runa waved her hands, not very happy with this extremely inefficient and time-wasting behavior.
“Bang.”
Seeing her walking farther and farther away, she was already five meters away without stopping. Kurosawa Mitsuru thought for a moment, then pressed the unlock button, opened the car door and got in the car.
Then he fastened his seat belt, started the car, released the handbrake, lightly stepped on the accelerator, and drove out of the parking space.
It was hard not to notice the noise in the quiet parking lot.
Igarashi Runa, who had a hot body and was wearing a white shirt, a tight skirt, black stockings and high heels, turned around and took a few steps back to make way. She held a briefcase in one hand and crossed her arm with the other. There was a hint of helplessness in her beautiful eyes behind her frameless glasses.
"Get in the car."
Soon, the car stopped smoothly and steadily in front of her, the window was rolled down, and Kurosawa Hikaru sat in the driver's seat and shook his head at her, just like she always did.
"I told you it's not necessary. Before I bought a car, I took the train every day. It's not like I've never taken it before."
Igarashi Runa saw his actions and tone, which were obviously imitating her, and was immediately amused, but she did not get in the car as decisively as he did.
"I'm going on a long trip tomorrow, so I have to test drive the car first. If you sit next to me, I can get used to it faster..."
Kurosawa Mitsuru held the steering wheel with one hand, looked at her graceful figure, and told her the reason he had just thought of.
"… "
Igarashi Runa was having a headache. After all, she had just said that it was unnecessary to do anything, but now someone drove the car in front of her and got in. Wouldn't it seem that she was being hypocritical
I didn’t expect this guy to be so willful and he doesn’t listen to others at all.
"Ms. Runa, you don't want me to get into trouble on the way to my date tomorrow, do you?"
Seeing that she was considering it, Kurosawa Mitsuru simply said.
"All right."
When Igarashi Runa heard him say this, she had no reason to refuse and nodded.
This time, the roles were reversed.
Kurosawa Hikaru was waiting for her in the car, and then the passenger door was opened. A pair of beautiful legs in black stockings stretched in first, and then the buttocks moved, and she sat on the passenger seat in a sexy and beautiful manner.
You know what, this feeling is quite good... Sitting in the passenger seat of the luxury car is a beautiful woman wearing black stockings.
He didn't have this opportunity in his previous life, but in this life, he finally got to experience the pleasure of luxury cars and beautiful women.
"What are you laughing at?"
Igarashi Runa closed the car door and asked while fastening her seat belt.
Is this guy laughing at her
"It's okay, sit tight."
Of course, Kurosawa Hikaru couldn't tell what was really in his mind. He just waited for her to pull the wheel and then drove away.
