"Can I ask the gender of the person you are going to give the super VIP ticket to?"
After the number of votes was decided, Igarashi Runa sent another message.
"female."
After considering it, Kurosawa Hikaru responded to her.
After all, Miss Runa is very smart, gentle and careful, and can handle things very skillfully.
Instead of hiding it from her, it is better to reveal the necessary information.
Following the reply, a sentence quickly popped up on the phone:
"The fifth?"
This question made Kurosawa Mitsuru's heart skip a beat and he didn't know how to respond.
"I'm going to be busy."
However, before he could reply, Igarashi Runa sent another message.
"Go ahead."
Seeing that she had given him a way out, Kurosawa Mitsuru naturally followed it.
After ending the private chat, he started looking at other messages.
The hot girls group chat was still lively, because they didn't get tickets, so everyone had a lot of discussions.
For example, when they saw that the ticket prices were exaggerated, they all sighed.
For example, guessing what the performance will be like and feeling envious.
Tonight is destined to be lively, after all, there is a serious problem of supply and demand for tickets, which has caused controversy.
A glimpse of the whole picture can reveal the whole picture. Although he has not been on Twitter, he has a general idea of the situation.
At this moment, Kurosawa Hikaru's cell phone vibrated and a notification sounded.
Line user, Ninomiya-sensei: "Kurosawa, are you busy?"
“I forgot to change the note…”
Seeing this scene, Kurosawa Mitsuru was stunned for a moment and muttered to himself.
This is a previous note. The current Ninomiya Chizuru is no longer a teacher at the University of Tokyo.
"No, what's wrong?"
“Do you have time to call?”
After reading this message, Kurosawa Hikaru made a video call without any hesitation.
After a while, the video call was connected.
"Good evening, Sister Chizuru."
Seeing a beautiful and mature lady's face appear on the phone screen, Kurosawa Hikaru greeted her with a smile.
I have to say, after just finishing a date with the pale and skinny Miki Shiraha, he saw Ninomiya Chizuru. The strong contrast made him feel very amazed.
"Good evening, Kurosawa."
Ninomiya Chizuru was wearing a fashionable beige shirt, her long hair was tied up high, her bangs hung down, a strand of hair touched her cheek, her beautiful sky-blue eyes were filled with sorrow, and her delicate face looked a little broken.
"What happened?"
Seeing the worry on her face, Kurosawa Mitsuru couldn't help but feel pity for her, and his voice became a little gentler.
"My mother called me just now."
"Then what?"
"She wants me to give her 22 tickets."
"Do you need so many? But it's not a big problem. Miss Runa has reserved a lot of tickets."
Kurosawa Mitsuru smacked his lips a little and comforted him.
He originally thought that asking for 7 tickets was already a huge ask, but he never expected that his mother-in-law would be even more ruthless and directly ask for 3 times as much as he did.
"I asked Runa, and there are indeed enough tickets... It would be fine if she just asked me for the tickets, but the problem is that this is just an appetizer."
Ninomiya Chizuru shook her head.
"What's the highlight?"
Kurosawa Hikaru was a little curious.
"She wants to talk to you after the show."
Ninomiya Chizuru raised her eyes and looked at him tentatively. After hesitating, she spoke.
"this…
Kurosawa Hikaru paused when he heard this.
No wonder Chizuru looked so sad, compared to this incident, the tickets were indeed just an appetizer.
Meeting the mother-in-law is not an easy matter.
You know, Ninomiya's mother used her power to ruin a banker's career just because someone said bad things about her daughter.
Although he was happy about this incident, he thought that the man deserved it and did a good job.
But through this incident, it is not difficult to see that my mother-in-law has a very cruel character and is by no means an ordinary person.
"I know this is very sudden, but she said she was going to a concert and it was a good opportunity for us to meet. I really don't know how to refuse... I'm not forcing you, please help me think of a solution."
When Ninomiya Chizuru saw his expression frozen on the spot, she felt helpless and completely out of temper.
Faced with such an argument, she thought about it for a long time and really couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse.
"If she wants to see me, then let her see me."
Seeing her troubled and weak side, Kurosawa Mitsuru came to his senses and made a decision immediately.
"Want to see?"
Ninomiya Chizuru was stunned.
The biggest disadvantage of being with her parents is that Kurosawa's identity will be exposed.
If Kurosawa was loyal and had only her as his girlfriend, there would be no problem.
But he is also involved with Miss Shifengyuan, so there will inevitably be an involvement between them in the future.
"You can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it forever, unless I break up with you, but that's impossible. My father-in-law and mother-in-law will know my true face sooner or later. Rather than waiting until one day I am forced to be exposed, it is better to take the initiative."
Kurosawa Mitsuru naturally knew the trouble that would come from meeting his father-in-law and mother-in-law, but his thinking was very clear.
Even if he wanted to hide this matter, he absolutely couldn't.
After all, he can't wear a mask when meeting his father-in-law and mother-in-law, right
"You also know that some things cannot be hidden forever. They are not very satisfied with your career. If one day they find out that you are having multiple relationships, they will definitely be very angry and want to break us up at all costs."
Ninomiya Chizuru was very touched when she heard him say that breaking up was impossible, but she still remained rational.
The current situation is such that there is nothing that can be done.
If the worst-case scenario were to occur, there would be nothing that could be done to save the situation.
"As long as you don't plan to break up with me, no one can separate us. If that day really comes, we would have already made it a done deal."
Kurosawa Hikaru could understand her train of thought, but his thoughts were also very clear.
Faced with this situation, we can only rely on information asymmetry to gain more time.
"Is the rice cooked?"
Ninomiya Chizuru didn't quite understand this sentence.
"It means that we get married and have children before they find out. When that time comes, if they want to separate us, it won't be as simple as forcing us to break up, but whether or not to break up a family. As the saying goes, it's better to destroy ten temples than to ruin a marriage."
Seeing that she didn't understand the Chinese proverb, Kurosawa Hikaru explained it to her.
"Marry? Are you going to marry me?"
Ninomiya Chizuru was shocked when she heard this, and looked at him in disbelief, even speaking nervously and stuttering.
"Since I want to be with you, we must get married."
Kurosawa Hikaru was very confused by this look.
He is very serious about relationships, has absolutely no intention of playing around, and is responsible for both parties.
Otherwise, he would have already traveled all over Shizuoka Prefecture with so many girls pursuing him before he went to college.
"oh… "
Looking at his serious expression, Ninomiya Chizuru nodded, lowered her head and then raised her eyes again.
"Have you ever thought about marrying me?"
Seeing her strange expression, Kurosawa Mitsuru was surprised.
"You have several girlfriends, who knows who you will marry."
Upon hearing this, Ninomiya Chizuru paused, raised her head and chest, straightened her hair, and rolled her eyes at him.
Before they went to the amusement park for their first date, while she was waiting for Kurosawa to graduate, she had thought about marrying Kurosawa, and even thought about calling herself Kurosawa Chizuru and what to name her child.
But it was really difficult for her to say "I want to marry you". She didn't know how Kurosawa could say it so easily.
"Well… "
Kurosawa Mitsuru could see that she was shy, but he was speechless.
"Anyway, we'll meet. My mother-in-law chose the time after the performance, which is very beneficial to us."
Immediately, Kurosawa Mitsuru did not delve into this topic and returned to the main topic.
"Is it beneficial?"
Ninomiya Chizuru was particularly concerned about her parents' affairs and her attention was instantly attracted to them.
"After watching my performance, my mother-in-law will definitely be amazed."
Seeing her confused expression, Kurosawa Hikaru said as a matter of course.
As for his level of piano proficiency, to be frank, there is no one in the world who can compare with him.
What's more, he also brought those timeless classic piano pieces from his previous life.
"Do you think they haven't seen the video of you playing the piano? My parents know that you play very well, but they still think that being an artist is not a good profession."
Ninomiya Chizuru didn't think so, after all, she knew her parents' personalities very well.
Maybe her parents are indeed profit-driven and snobbish, but apart from their strong desire for control and harsh words, they also have many good qualities, especially the fact that they love her, which is beyond doubt.
"Do you think they might still stop us from being together after watching the show?"
Kurosawa Hikaru paused for a few seconds and then asked.
If you think about it carefully, it is impossible that my beloved daughter suddenly starred in a single MV, and it became known to everyone, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law said they had never seen the video.
"It's not possible, but I will definitely stop you... In fact, my biggest headache is that after my parents meet you, they say something not nice enough to offend you."
Ninomiya Chizuru nodded, her brows filled with worry.
"Is that so?"
Kurosawa Mitsuru seemed to have realized something and found that he was too self-righteous.
His piano playing is truly unparalleled in the world and can astound the world.
But in fact, not everyone would be impressed by the superb piano skills.
For example, Brother Shinichi, even if I heard his performance, I just didn't quite feel it was impressive, but thought it was quite nice, and that was the reaction.
Compared to his piano skills, Brother Shinichi admires his archery skills more.
"The reason why I only have Runa as my good friend for so many years is because most people can't stand my parents' personalities. Although they love me very much, they don't love others at all. They will interfere with my friendships and even say bad things to me, which makes many of my friends stay away from me. Because of this, I have quarreled with them many times, and it is also the fundamental reason why I want to rebel against them no matter what."
Seeing him thinking, Ninomiya Chizuru hesitated and then revealed her true feelings.
She hasn't confided in anyone about her parents' personalities for many years.
"Every family has its own problems."
Kurosawa Hikaru didn't expect that there was such a past and couldn't help but talk to himself.
Although he had heard about the situation of Ninomiya's parents, he did not expect it to be so bad.
"Runa has actually been treated unfairly in many ways, and my parents have said some very unpleasant things to her... But she has such a good personality, and she knows how to distinguish between public and private matters. She didn't take these things to heart, and instead insisted on being my friend."
Ninomiya Chizuru nodded slightly and couldn't help but say.
She knew better than anyone how good Runa was to her.
Because of this, she was willing to share her beloved with Runa, so that the three of them could be happy together.
"Is your father-in-law afraid of your grandparents?"
After realizing this situation, Kurosawa Mitsuru thought about it and decided to use the same trick again.
Since a frontal breakthrough is difficult, let's just go straight to the enemy's lair.
"Why are you asking that?"
Ninomiya Chizuru was a little confused.
"If you're afraid, we can change our target and try to get your grandparents' consent."
Seeing that she didn't understand, Kurosawa Hikaru explained.
He had used this trick once before, and it worked wonders.
Even if his future mother was very difficult to deal with, he would defeat her with one move and she would have no ability to fight back.
"My grandparents were very cautious in front of my dad, and often they were afraid that they had not done something well enough... because my dad was so capable and had a strong personality."
After realizing his intention, Ninomiya Chizuru hesitated and then explained.
"Then is your mother afraid of your grandma and grandpa?"
“My grandma and grandpa passed away a few years ago.”
"Don't they have any weaknesses? Weaknesses that can force them to compromise."
Realizing that this was another unsolvable direction, Kurosawa Mitsuru suddenly felt a headache. He wanted a sure-fire way to win as a backup.
As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.
He knew so little about his father-in-law and mother-in-law that it was really difficult for him to come up with a plan.
"have."
At this moment, Chizuru Ninomiya suddenly had an idea.
"What?"
Realizing that she seemed to have thought of something, Kurosawa Hikaru suddenly became alert.
"I."
Ninomiya Chizuru's eyes became very bright, as if there was light flashing in them.
Sure enough, it was a good decision to discuss with Kurosawa, and she found a sure-fire way to win.
"you?"
Kurosawa Hikaru was stunned and confused by the answer.
Would the father-in-law and mother-in-law be afraid of Qianhe? If they were really afraid, they wouldn't have to sit here and have a headache together over the phone.
"In order to keep Runa and prevent her from being forced away, I once threatened to commit suicide, and my parents compromised."
Ninomiya Chizuru nodded firmly and explained.
"Is there such a thing?"
Upon learning this, Kurosawa Mitsuru looked at her in some surprise.
"If they try to break us up anyway, I'll use the same method."
Thinking of this plan, Ninomiya Chizuru looked at Kurosawa Hikaru with an extremely determined look in her eyes.
Runa is very important to her, and she doesn't want to be separated from him even if it means death. The same goes for Kurosawa Hikaru.
"… "
Kurosawa Mitsuru was silent, not knowing how to respond for a moment, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Was this a confession? It was definitely a confession. His love that would last till death was even more passionate than when he said that there was no chance of breaking up.
However, he felt not only lucky, but also stunned.
Qianzuru is such a smart and rational person, but she is so crazy as to threaten her own death. What kind of parents would force her to such a desperate situation
"Does it have to be so extreme?" Kurosawa Mitsuru pondered.
"This is a sure-fire way to win." Ninomiya Chizuru nodded and affirmed.
Ordinary strategies are useless if you want to defeat her parents.
"Chizuru, don't use this method until the last moment. Before that, I will find a way."
Kurosawa Hikaru could sense that this was a sure way to win, but he didn't want things to develop to this point.
"good."
Ninomiya Chizuru saw his expression, reacted, realized that her words and actions were crazy, and nodded.
"… "
After agreeing, the two people fell silent, each with their own thoughts.
Although Kurosawa Hikaru didn't want things to develop to an extreme point, he didn't have a good strategy at the moment, and this was a tough battle.
While he was thinking, the system's voice suddenly rang in his ears: "New task"
Then, many lines of words appeared before his eyes.
Date Mission: Hot Spring Trip with Ninomiya Chizuru
Mission objective: Meet her at a hot spring, wash her feet, kiss her ten times, and let her hold you while she sleeps
Mission duration: 7 days.
Mission Funding: Entry-level Piano, Entry-level Finance-Investment Theory (Experience Card)
Mission rewards: Entry-level piano, entry-level finance-investment theory (permanent)
"She wants to go to a hot spring hotel? In the middle of summer?"
After reading the dating mission, Kurosawa Hikaru couldn't help but feel surprised.
The goals of dating tasks are actually set according to the woman's preferences.
To put it simply, it means what the woman expects to happen during the date.
In short, even if the task cannot be completed, just achieving a goal can bring good emotional value to the woman and make the relationship between the two people better.
As an excellent student, he always achieves all his goals.
But what does it mean to hold the baby while sleeping? It's intriguing.
There are only 7 days left for the task. Isn't that too fast? The sooner the better.
"Kurosawa, how about we go on a trip to Hakone after the concert?"
When he came to his senses and looked at his phone, he saw Ninomiya Chizuru with her hair tied up and her lips rosy, which was very charming.
"Isn't Hakone a hot spring town? Do you want to go there in the summer?"
Through the dating mission, he got a glimpse of her expectations and ideas, and Kurosawa Hikaru was a little confused about the choice of the hot spring location.
"Can't we take a hot spring bath in the summer?"
Ninomiya Chizuru gave him a resentful look.
Maybe it was because of the awakening of spring love, this glance was so charming and captivating.
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Seeing such a look, Kurosawa Mitsuru couldn't stand it and nodded repeatedly.
If you think about it carefully, Chizuru's personality is rather reserved and implicit. Even if she wanted to hold him to sleep and wanted to make it a fait accompli, she would definitely be too embarrassed to say it out loud.
In this case, a place like a hot spring hotel is the best location.
"I've been very tired from work recently, and I want to take a hot spring bath to relieve my fatigue. You have to perform and play the piano intensively, so you must be very tired, so it's a good time to relax."
Seeing that he agreed, in order to avoid exposing her thoughts, Ninomiya Chizuru also added explanation.
"Indeed, how about taking Miss Runa with you then?"
Seeing that her thoughts were exposed and she was still trying to hide them, Kurosawa Hikaru suddenly wanted to tease her and nodded in agreement.
"We must take her with us. How can we not take her with us?"
Upon hearing this, Ninomiya Chizuru looked at him in surprise and confusion.
"Do you really want to take her with you?"
Seeing this reaction, Kurosawa Mitsuru was stunned and began to doubt his life.
That doesn't make sense, she's such a reserved and shy person, she should be thinking about just being alone on a date... Judging from her reaction, it seems like there's absolutely no way she'll leave Igarashi Runa behind.
Could it be that she wants to share a quilt with her best friend
"Don't you want to take her with you?"
Ninomiya Chizuru was a little confused.
"Let's ask her first to see if she's free... She's much busier than us."
Kurosawa Hikaru did not make any statement, but simply diverted the issue.
Faced with such a beautiful thing, there is absolutely no man who would not want it.
Having said that, his relationship with Chizuru is still at the kissing stage... There has been no real progress for a long time.
If you want to warm up your relationship, whether you are a couple, friends, colleagues, or siblings, the best way is to spend time together alone.
"Indeed, ask her first."
Ninomiya Chizuru thought about it and agreed.
As an agent, Runa is responsible for all matters big and small at Ling Shi, and she has been very busy during this period.
"Ask her after the show."
Kurosawa Hikaru's heart beat faster as he watched her thinking.
"good."
Ninomiya Chizuru nodded.
They agreed to travel to Hakone, and the two chatted for a while. Because Ninomiya Chizuru hadn't taken a shower yet and was going to take a shower, they ended the call.
After finishing the conversation with Chizuru, Kurosawa Hikaru made a video call to Ichinose Yuki.
"Brother Guang, good evening."
The video call was connected, and Yuki Ichinose was very happy and greeted everyone with full energy.
Her smile was very bright, as if she had finally waited for him.
"Good evening, Yuki-chan."
Seeing her so happy, Kurosawa Hikaru's mood was healed.
It feels really good to be with Yuki-chan, and I don't have any worries at all.
"Is Brother Guang very busy today?"
Ichinose Yuki saw that he also smiled and nodded happily. Duck sat on the carpet and asked curiously.
"It's okay. I just talked to Ms. Runa about work."
Kurosawa Hikaru omitted the private conversation with Chizuru, not out of malicious concealment, and it was not good news.
"Oh, there's a big commotion over ticket sales, what's going on?"
Ichinose Yuki was not surprised by this and said with concern.
As bystanders, she and her friends naturally watched the show, but Brother Guang was different. He was one of the organizers, so his perspective was definitely different.
"We have come up with a solution... The specific solution is very complicated to explain, but I have good news."
"What good news?"
Yuki Ichinose noticed that he didn't want to discuss work too much, so she didn't ask any more questions, but followed his topic.
No matter what Brother Guang said, she would go along with it.
"I asked for six tickets for you."
Seeing that she was cooperative, Kurosawa Mitsuru smiled and said.
"Six tickets?"
Hearing this, Ichinose Yuki was very surprised.
"I looked at the group message. Didn't everyone get the tickets? I'll get the tickets from Ms. Runa tomorrow and give them to you then. You can distribute them to everyone in the hot girl group."
"Wow... You asked Ms. Igarashi for the tickets, why didn't you give them to them?"
Yuki Ichinose realized his intentions and was touched, but then she became puzzled.
"The tickets for this show are so valuable. If I suddenly took out six tickets, they might get suspicious. It would be reasonable for you to give them to them because you are also a member of the Zero Hour Agency. Everyone knows that you are a colleague of Zero Hour."
Kurosawa Hikaru shrugged and explained.
