This sudden question was not just unexpected, it simply confused Kurosawa Mitsuru.
"She wants me to find a fourth one?"
"That's impossible. She did accept my three-timing affair before, but she didn't say anything. She would hide and cry."
"She's testing me?"
"Not really. She's not the type of person who is very scheming."
"Does she want to know if I will cheat again in the future?"
"Or maybe she couldn't bear to see Miki Baiyu crying?"
Looking at Yuki Ichinose's face, a storm arose in Kurosawa Hikaru's heart that was difficult to calm down.
Rather than his own thoughts, he cared more about what kind of thoughts Xiao Yuki had in mind when asking such a question.
"I… "
Kurosawa Hikaru opened his mouth, but was choked when the words came to his lips.
When I'm with my girlfriend, if it's just our daily routine, we're laughing and having fun, and most of the time we can do whatever we want.
But if you encounter a problem, especially one related to other opposite sex, you must be cautious.
Faced with his hesitation, Yuki Ichinose did not urge him. Her big, bright blue eyes looked straight at him, waiting for his answer.
"you… "
Kurosawa Hikaru really wanted to ask her why she asked that, but when the words came to his lips, he stopped.
Because avoiding and changing the subject is also an attitude and an answer.
We asked ourselves whether he wanted a fourth girlfriend or not, but there was no clear answer to this question.
No one can be truly free. The more fetters and constraints people have in this world, the more they have.
Putting aside his future traditional-minded girlfriend, Koyuki and Chizuru both made more or less concessions for him regarding his three-timing affair.
Koyuki agreed right away, and although it was hard for Chizuru to accept, she was trying hard and overcoming it for him.
In this situation, if he were to find a fourth one... Regardless of what Chizuru would do, doing so might even break Koyuki's tolerance limit.
A person's ability to bear is limited.
After seeing Chizuru's breakdown, he didn't want to see Yuki break down again because of what he did.
Now, he just wants Yuki, Chizuru, and Mirai to be happy.
"People should be content with what they know."
Thinking of this, Kurosawa Hikaru's eyes turned from hesitant to gentle as he looked at Xiao Yuki, and he spoke softly.
"All right."
Being met with his gentle gaze, Yuki Ichinose wanted to say something but stopped herself. Finally, she nodded a little disappointedly and said no more.
"Okay? What do you mean okay?"
Kurosawa Mitsuru, who had finally made up his mind, felt depressed when he saw her gloomy attitude.
"Brother Guang, teach me how to skate~"
Without waiting for him to hesitate, Ichinose Yuki reached out and took his arm, then smiled.
"good."
Seeing her smile, it seemed as if what happened just now was completely over. Although Kurosawa Mitsuru didn't understand what she was thinking, he still nodded.
"Skating is simple, just like this, swinging left and right, using the momentum to move forward."
"It's easy for you to say."
"Don't be nervous, just imagine the feeling of surfing, it's all about balance."
Kurosawa Hikaru realized the difficulty and taught her patiently.
To be honest, he really didn't think skating was that difficult.
Maybe it was the lingering effect of the skating experience card, or it could be that the talent of surfing has created a strong sense of balance, or it could be that the mastery of leg techniques has given him an innate ability to use his legs. After just a few simple skates, he was completely adapted.
After all, Yuki Ichinose is not a sports idiot. Through fitness and yoga, her physical fitness is stronger than that of ordinary JKs. She quickly mastered the trick and would not slip when walking on the ice.
Having said that, Kurosawa Hikaru still held her hand to prevent her from falling.
"Kurosawa, Yuki, you're finally here."
Shiina Ai, who had been playing for a while, saw that the two of them finally took action, so she slid over, bent over and smiled.
Because they were talking alone at the edge of the ice rink, like a chat between a couple, no one went over to disturb them.
Maybe it's multiple dates and there's no room for individual dates, but if two people have something to talk about privately, everyone has a tacit understanding not to disturb them.
"Lan, you are such a great skater. You can even bend over."
Seeing her running over to say hello, Ichinose Yuki, who had managed to keep steady on the ice without falling, was a little surprised.
"Hehe~ We've been here once before, and just now I asked Yamamoto to teach me figure skating."
She noticed Shiina Ai's unintentional display and felt proud.
"Are you so talented? You learned figure skating so quickly."
Yuki Ichinose was very surprised, she always felt that she skated very well... In the final analysis, it was the gap caused by the comparison.
It was her first time on the ice. Although she had gone skiing with everyone before, skiing is skiing and skating is skating, which are not the same thing.
"It's just bending over, it doesn't count as figure skating."
At this time, Yamamoto Daiki followed over, stood with his arms folded, and interrupted.
"Can't you let me be proud for a moment?"
Shiina Lan's smile froze, and then she pushed him unhappily.
"Shiina, don't push people on the ice. It's dangerous."
After this push, Yamamoto Daiki took a step back, stepped on the ice skates to steady his body, and lectured with a stern face.
“Do be careful.”
Seeing this scene, Kurosawa Mitsuru also looked at Xiao Yuki beside him and gave instructions.
"I know."
Yuki Ichinose found that he had to give her special instructions and said coquettishly.
"Woohoo! Look at me!"
Just then, a cheer was heard not far away. It was Hinata's voice.
Everyone looked up and saw that he was actually skating backwards with his arms outstretched, looking cool and handsome.
When everyone looked over, Hinata stepped on the ground and suddenly jumped up. After spinning in the air, he landed on his feet.
Although he landed on his feet, he was unable to maintain his balance and fell directly.
"This is too dangerous. A novice shouldn't try such dangerous moves."
Seeing this scene, Yamamoto immediately became anxious and quickly slid over to teach him a lesson and also lend him a helping hand.
Unlike before when we just skated on the skating rink, now we have the experience of figure skating and our ways of playing have become more diverse.
…
At 7 o'clock in the evening, after dinner, the multiple dates officially ended and everyone went their separate ways.
Because we gathered early in the morning, everyone woke up very early, so there were no more activities at night.
“I’m so tired.”
On the return train, Yuki Ichinose sat on Mitsuru Kurosawa's lap, leaning in his arms, her body very soft.
"After you go back, take a hot bath and have a good sleep and you will feel comfortable."
Kurosawa Hikaru held her arm with his hand, massaged her gently, and smiled.
Although ice skating is done with the feet, arm movements are also indispensable for maintaining a sense of balance or for various figure skating techniques.
“It’s very comfortable now.”
Enjoying his highly skilled and indescribable massage, Yuki Ichinose's voice was very relaxed.
"hehe."
Seeing her narrow her eyes and sitting in his arms without any guard, Kurosawa Mitsuru couldn't help but smile.
The biggest difference between a girlfriend and a female friend lies in such details.
When two people are together, they can be close and free.
“Figure skating is really difficult.”
After enjoying it for a while, Ichinose Yuki couldn't help but sigh.
"really."
Kurosawa Hikaru also agrees with this.
He relied on his extraordinary athletic talent and physical fitness, as well as his experience in speed skating, so he quickly mastered figure skating.
But his figure skating skills are at most slightly better than Yamamoto Daiki. If compared with Miki Shiraha, they are completely in two different dimensions.
Because he can't dance, he can't make his movements of hands and feet look picturesque.
"Brother Guang, have you ever skated with her?"
At this moment, Ichinose Yuki asked about the confusion in her heart.
"No."
Kurosawa Hikaru shook his head.
It's obvious who this "she" is referring to since it has something to do with ice skating.
"Then how did you get to know her?"
"Do we have to talk about her?"
Kurosawa Hikaru stopped massaging and looked down at her.
"Because I'm a little curious."
Yuki Ichinose rubbed her body in his arms and acted coquettishly.
"We first met by chance in a camera store. I was trying out a SLR camera and she suddenly ran out, and I took a picture of her..."
Although he didn't know what she was thinking, Kurosawa Mitsuru thought about it and said it.
His story with Miki Baiyu is the kind of story that is not afraid to be told openly or in the light of day.
The only thing that I can’t bring up… was the chance encounter at Tokyo Bunka Kaikan that night, when I accidentally saw her panties.
"And then?"
After listening to the experience of their first acquaintance, Ichinose Yuki asked again.
When he found out that she insisted on asking, Kurosawa Hikaru also explained everything to her, except for the accident of accidentally seeing panties.
Having said that, it is impossible to retell some of the conversations in full. I just briefly mentioned the locations, such as waiting for me at the school gate, and the two of them going to a cafe for afternoon tea and chatting for a while.
"Did we meet by chance at the skating rink today?"
"Actually, when I drew the ice skating rink, I thought I might meet her, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"That's great..."
"What's good about it?" Kurosawa Mitsuru was confused.
"No need to contact you in advance, I'll just bump into you somewhere."
"Wouldn't it be better to contact each other before meeting? Only if we make an appointment can we meet."
"Because it's our first time meeting, it doesn't sound nice to say it, it's not romantic at all." Yuki Ichinose was a little embarrassed.
Compared to the chance encounter in the camera store and the accidental snapshot, which was such a romantic and special encounter, the way she and Brother Guang met was really strange.
"But it's very special, so special that I will never forget it in my life." Kurosawa Hikaru disagreed.
“Is it that good?”
Realizing that he would remember it for the rest of his life, Ichinose Yuki felt somewhat happy.
"I don't think I'll ever meet another girl in my life who dares to call herself my girlfriend when she greets me and introduces herself."
Seeing her happy reaction, Kurosawa Hikaru pinched her soft, elastic cheeks and said leisurely.
“Oops~”
When she found out that he was making fun of her, Yuki Ichinose became very embarrassed and annoyed, so she covered his mouth with her hand to stop him from talking any more.
…
It was already 8 o'clock in the evening when I sent Yuki home and took the bus back home.
Sitting at home, Kurosawa Mitsuru took out his mobile phone and played with it, checking the messages.
Because I was on a date with Yuki today and she didn't send me any messages, I received very few messages, only the itinerary chart sent by Ms. Runa.
"I have a performance at the end of the month... It looks like I'll have to wait until early next month before I can go back home."
Looking at the itinerary, Kurosawa Hikaru muttered to himself.
"OK, no problem."
After thinking about it, he replied to the message.
After exiting this page, there was a column in the chat list that made him take a closer look.
The avatar icon was a snowflake, and his name was Miki Baiyu... The messages after that were the ones he sent during the day.
So much time has passed and there is still no reply, just like last time, I read it but didn’t reply.
Once a gap arises between people, even sending a message will make it difficult for people to make any progress.
Just then, the phone vibrated slightly, and there was a message in the newly added group chat.
Blue Blue Pretty Girl: “The photos Kurosawa took are really great. It’s only been two hours and I’ve added a thousand followers!
”
This is the group chat of the hot girls group. Since all the members are here once again, we simply created a group chat for easy communication.
Aoi: "If you don't understand, just ask, is one thousand fans in two hours a lot or a little?"
The blue-blue beautiful girl: "Of course it's a lot. I've been on Twitter for three years and I only have over 7,000 followers. At the current growth rate, my Twitter followers will exceed 10,000 tomorrow! But compared to Yuki, it's still small."
When playing today, Kurosawa Hikaru naturally did not forget to take a set of photos for each girl.
Originally he didn't want to take the photo for Tong, and used the excuse that he was afraid that Yamamoto would be jealous, but ended up causing Yamamoto to be beaten by Tong.
“It seems to be working well.”
Seeing their chat, Kurosawa Mitsuru smiled, didn't send a message, just peeked at the screen.
…
The next morning at 8:30, we went to the Wind Chasing Temple.
In the courtyard, the rain and dew have not yet dissipated, the air is filled with fragrance and an ancient aroma.
At the first shooting range, Shifengyuan Mirai, wearing a ponytail and a kyudo hakama, was shooting arrows.
In the fully opened shooting shape, her tall and beautiful figure is displayed vividly.
Elegant, classic, confident, and cool, she stood at the shooting point like a painting, so beautiful that it made people captivated.
Not far away, there was an expressionless maid.
A Western-style maid outfit and a Japanese-style kyudo uniform, the two people being in the same environment, give people a very special feeling.
"Duk!"
Release the arrow naturally, it flies through the air and hits the target accurately.
"So early today?"
After maintaining her composure, Shifengyuan Mirai slowly put down her bow and turned around. Her eyes, which were as red as red wine and filled with alluring beauty, fell on a man.
“Pah, pah, pah.”
"Because I wanted to see you earlier."
When Kurosawa Hikaru saw her arrow hit the bull's eye, he applauded and laughed.
"Don't you need to accompany them? I'm still busy anyway."
When Shifengyuan Mirai heard such corny words, her beautiful eyes remained calm and she spoke indifferently.
"Then I'll go find them first and come back in the afternoon?"
Hearing this, Kurosawa Hikaru realized something and raised his hand to point outside, as if asking, "Then I'll leave?"
"As you like."
Shifengyuan Mirai nodded slightly, not caring about it.
"See you this afternoon."
Seeing how tolerant she was, Kurosawa Hikaru said goodbye and turned away.
"… "
Seeing that he was about to leave, Sifengyuan Weiwei just took a look at him, still unmoved and very calm.
"Hei Ze, come back."
However, when he saw Kurosawa leave without looking back and walked straight out of the shooting range to the entrance, Shifengyuan Mirai suddenly became uneasy and couldn't help shouting.
"As you command, my lady."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kurosawa Hikaru's head popped out from the entrance and smiled.
Seeing his successful smile, Shifengyuan Mirai rolled his eyes at him, and realizing that he couldn't beat him, he snorted and picked up the bow and arrow, intending to continue shooting arrows.
"Don't be angry, I just want to tease you."
Kurosawa Mitsuru walked quickly forward, held her arm from behind, and coaxed her.
"What good thing happened? You're in such a good mood."
Shifengyuan Mirai's archery was stopped, and he allowed her to be hugged from behind, looking back at him slightly.
Kurosawa today is different from the one on Thursday... He gives people a feeling of relief and ease, and he is even more smooth-talking and better at coaxing women.
"Because I can see my little future early in the morning."
In response, Kurosawa Mitsuru lowered his head slightly on her shoulder, looking at her breathtakingly beautiful face from a close distance.
I have to say, Future’s appearance and temperament are so amazing, perfectly meeting all his fantasies about a young lady.
"What nonsense! Did you coax Ninomiya back?"
Hearing such sweet words, the corners of Shifengyuan Mirai's mouth curled up slightly, and that cold expression could not be held back, and he asked again.
Although she felt sweet and happy to hear such sweet words, she was more curious about what had caused such an obvious change in Kurosawa.
"not yet."
Kurosawa Hikaru shook his head. He wanted to accompany her today and didn't want to mention other girls.
Perhaps women in the future will be more traditional in their thinking and be able to accept their husbands having three wives and four concubines, but it is impossible to say that they don't mind at all and won't be jealous at all.
Because when you like someone, you will have a strong possessiveness, be unwilling to share with others, and become jealous.
"But there has been much progress?"
"Almost. I've got half of it back."
Finding that she couldn't hide it from her, she wanted to ask for clarification. After hesitating, Kurosawa Mitsuru nodded.
“Good.”
Realizing the reason for his change in personality, Shifengyuan Mirai nodded thoughtfully.
"Do you really think it's a good thing?"
Seeing her unpredictable look, Kurosawa Mitsuru suddenly felt a little worried.
"You have relaxed a lot and become a better person, which is a good thing."
Shifengyuan Mirai nodded slightly and said affirmatively.
What’s a pity is that it wasn’t her who helped Kurosawa relax.
But as long as Kurosawa is fine, it doesn't matter even if the credit is due to other women.
Compared to Kurosawa who appears to be happy but is actually full of doubts and worries, she would rather see Kurosawa without worries, relaxed and happy.
"oh oh."
Kurosawa Mitsuru couldn't figure out what she was thinking, but seeing that she didn't seem jealous or unhappy, he thought about it and nodded.
It is impolite to talk about or think about other women when you are with your girlfriend.
"Where's Shinichi-san?"
Kurosawa Mitsuru didn't want to continue this topic, so he just asked.
"The teacher is still having breakfast. Are you here to see him so early?" asked Shifengyuan Mirai after answering.
"I came here to see you. Since he's still having breakfast, let's just be lazy for a while."
Faced with this question, Kurosawa Mitsuru hugged her arms tightly and smiled.
"Besides coaxing Ninomiya, did you encounter anything else?"
Feeling his clinginess, Shifengyuan Mirai's ruby-like eyes looked at him with a smile.
"No, why do you say that?"
"I always feel that you cherish me more than Thursday..."
Shifengyuan Mirai felt a little uncomfortable and sensed a discordant sound.
Compared to a few days ago, Kurosawa gave her a particularly clingy feeling today.
"Isn't this good?" Kurosawa Mitsuru was a little puzzled.
While coaxing Chizuru, he realized that he had always been very strong-willed, very concerned about his reputation, and acted like a male chauvinist in front of his girlfriends. That way of getting along was not what they liked best.
That's how he let down his guard and began to change.
"It's good, but it feels too good to me... Tell me the truth, has something happened to you?"
Sifengyuan Mirai was naturally happy about such pampering and cherishment, but she still broke free from his arms, stood with the bow in her hand, turned around and looked at him with her head slightly raised.
Rather than enjoying herself peacefully, she wanted to be a good wife and help Kurosawa Mitsuru with various things.
If you want to help but not make things worse, you must first understand the problem.
Today, Kurosawa looked so happy, so lively, and so good... so good that it seemed unreal to her.
"… "
Meeting her captivating eyes, Kurosawa Mitsuru was somewhat hesitant.
"Is it related to that Miss Igarashi?"
Seeing that he was silent, Shifengyuan Mirai realized that in addition to coaxing Ninomiya Chizuru to make a breakthrough in the past few days, he must have encountered other things. After thinking about it, she asked.
Although we only met once, we only met at the martial arts hall that day and we didn't even say a word to each other.
But even with such a short time, she still noticed that Igarashi Runa was very biased towards Kurosawa.
"No, why did you mention her?"
Kurosawa Hikaru was a little confused.
Logically speaking, shouldn't she guess it was Koyuki
"Who is that for?"
Realizing that Igarashi Runa did not take any action, Shihouin's future suddenly became uncertain.
Out of respect and trust, she did not send anyone to investigate Kurosawa's private life.
As long as Kurosawa came to see her on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, rain or shine, that would be enough.
As for the rest of the time, he can do whatever he wants as long as he is happy.
"… "
When she asked him again, Kurosawa Hikaru's relaxed and happy expression gradually became calm.
Mirai is just as smart as Chizuru, and not as easy to please as Yuki. It is really hard to hide something from them.
In order to make his life peaceful, he was already pretending that nothing had happened... However, Mirai still noticed something was wrong.
"I'm not questioning you. I just want to know what difficulties and problems you've encountered. Maybe I can help you solve your problems."
Seeing his expression change and looking into his complicated black eyes, Shifengyuan Mirai realized that she had asked too much and felt uneasy. She tightened the bow in her hand and explained.
"Nine out of ten things in life are not satisfactory, but only a few can be shared with others. This may be true for ordinary people, but I am different from you. I am willing to listen to any of your troubles, and no matter what problems you encounter, I am willing to overcome them with you."
She knew very well that a woman who was too smart was not pleasing to men and might even cause them to dislike her.
But she wanted to establish a trusting relationship with Kurosawa where they could be honest, talk about anything, and have no secrets, so that she could become his confidant, move forward side by side, and overcome all difficulties together.
"Is that so..."
After hearing these words, Kurosawa Mitsuru suddenly had an epiphany and suddenly realized something when he looked back.
The reason why Xiao Yuki asked such a question yesterday was probably because of this kind of thought.
Regardless of whether she can accept the fourth girlfriend, Xiao Yuji wants to face the problem with him and be his confidant.
Unfortunately, she was not good at speaking and was not as eloquent as Future. She could not express her true thoughts and was directly defeated.
"?"
Shifengyuan Mirai was a little puzzled when he saw his reaction as if he had thought of something.
"I hurt a girl yesterday."
Realizing Future's enthusiasm, Kurosawa Hikaru looked down at her, took a deep breath, and poured out what was weighing on his heart.
He couldn't just laugh off the fact that he had hurt a girl like Miki Baiyu and made her heartbroken and cry.
