The two were originally friends, but Shirakawa Natsu fell for Mukai Yu's idol, Aunt Maki, and her friends and his ambiguous partner left alone. She also became friends with his new idol, Kang Eun-hye.
The atmosphere became quite subtle.
“He’s really fast,” Shirakawa Natsu said suddenly as she picked up her drink.
"Huh?" Yuichi Mukai was still embarrassed by being alone with him and didn't come to his senses for a moment. He looked at Natsumi Shirakawa strangely.
Shirakawa Natsu smiled and pointed to the distance where Miyuki and Arishima Ryoko were. I don't know what the two of them were talking about, but Arishima Ryoko no longer had the resentment she had just felt. The two of them were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious: "He can act very quickly. It's common for him to sleep with a woman he just met on the same day."
As they were talking, Ryoko Arishima and Miyuki accidentally touched hands, their faces showing a hint of shyness.
Shirakawa Natsu raised an eyebrow; he knew that Arishima Ryoko had deliberately shown this to Mukai Yu.
Yu Mukai looked hesitant and fidgeted.
“These kinds of playboys always easily attract the attention of ladies.” Shirakawa Natsu smiled at him. “Although that guy is my friend, I still think Ms. Arishima Ryoko and Mr. Mukai Yu are a better match.”
Yu Mukai looked at Natsumi Shirakawa with a complicated expression, nodded, and stood up.
The sound of high heels clicking behind her came from behind. Jiang Enhui walked over, frowned, and asked Jing Yu, "Xiang Jing, is something wrong?"
"Huh?" Xiang Jingyu was taken aback. He turned around and saw Jiang Enhui. She had taken off her black stockings, revealing a pair of fair and long legs that were particularly eye-catching under the tight-fitting top. Wearing high heels without stockings gave her an indescribable sexiness.
He had just mustered the courage to go find Mukai Yu, but after Jiang Enhui appeared, he immediately became hesitant.
"Take a look at this." Jiang Enhui seemed oblivious to his complicated expression as she picked up a file folder from the table and handed it to Xiang Jingyu.
Yu Mukai took the file bag and had no choice but to sit back down.
Shirakawa Natsumi smiled. From his seat, he could see Kang Eunhye walking over and making arrangements with Mukai Yu at the perfect time.
Ryoko Arishima had been keeping an eye on Yu Mukai, and she deliberately stood in a position where Yu Mukai could see her.
After seeing Jiang Enhui appear, he stopped looking at her.
Disappointment flashed in his eyes.
Miyuki smiled and said, "Sorry, it seems we couldn't push him towards you."
Ryoko Arishima's eyes were slightly red, and she forced a smile, saying, "It's okay, it has nothing to do with you. Thank you, and thank you, Natsu."
“Let’s go take a look over there,” Mikoto said, pointing in another direction. “I think you need a quiet place.”
“Okay.” Ryoko Arishima nodded and left with Miyuki.
From Arishima Ryoko's perspective, she has already given Mukai Yu many opportunities, and now she needs a corner where no one can see her to lick her wounds.
Seeing the two disappear from sight, Yu Mukai wanted to put down the file bag in his hand and chase after them.
"This is an invitation to the Tokyo Professional Photography Awards," Kang Eun-hye said after sitting down. "I hope you can participate."
Yu Mukai was stunned, looking at the file bag in disbelief. He opened the file bag with trembling hands and looked up at Jiang Enhui.
He clearly knew the value of this invitation.
"It's just because you've helped me a lot lately." Jiang Enhui's proud expression was perfectly executed: "I hope you can do what you really want to do."
A look of emotion flashed in Yu Mukai's eyes, compared to Ryoko Arishima who left with the other handsome men.
Kang Eun-hye, mature, steady, and supportive of his career, is like an angel.
Holding the documents in his hand, Yu Mukai hesitated for a long time before shaking his head: "I'm sorry, I can't participate in the competition right now. I'm a police officer, not a photographer."
"Hmm." Jiang Enhui nodded and didn't try to persuade him any further: "Then you should think it over carefully, both for yourself and for your photography career."
Chapter 195 Saving the Girl
Gratitude flashed in Xiangjing Yu's eyes. Jiang Enhui had given him the invitation, but she didn't force him to accept it. Instead, she gently gave him advice.
Beneath her mature, composed, and assertive exterior lies gentleness and understanding.
"Thank you," said Yu Mukai, giving him a grateful look.
Jiang Enhui nodded, maintaining a perfect sense of distance.
The three of them sat for a while longer and started chatting casually.
Ryoko Arishima and Miyuki have yet to return.
Yutaka Mukai's expression gradually became uneasy.
He clearly wanted to go find Ryoko Arishima, but couldn't bring himself to say it because of Eunhye Kang's presence.
Jiang Enhui noticed his expression, glanced at her watch, and turned to Jing Yu with a smile, saying, "Let's have dinner together later. It's getting late. Could you please ask Ms. Arishima Ryoko and her companion to come over?"
Seeing that his thoughts had been read, Mukai Yu looked embarrassed and nodded, "Okay."
After he finished speaking, he got up and walked in the direction that Ryoko Arishima and Miyuki had left.
After he left, Shirakawa Natsumi pouted and said, "Hey, it seems you don't need my help at all."
Based on their two interactions just now, it's clear that Jiang Enhui has Xiang Jingyu completely under her control.
It turns out that the two also planned to film a video of Kang Eun-hye being raped by her ex-boyfriend in order to get help from Mukai Yu.
Now it seems that it is completely useless.
Jiang Enhui shook her head: "I was fooled by his first impression."
"Hmm?" Shirakawa Natsu asked curiously, "Judging from your tone, you're planning to give up on him."
Jiang Enhui glanced at him, didn't hide anything, and nodded: "I just want to find an honest man to marry, not a 'central air conditioner' who's always flirting with other women."
"Didn't I tell you about this guy's personality a long time ago?" Shirakawa Natsumi pouted.
Jiang Enhui gritted her teeth: "I thought he was a suitable, honest man, and I wanted to snatch him away from my current girlfriend, but it turns out this guy doesn't want to give up either of them."
"It really is something he would do based on his personality." Shirakawa Natsu spread her hands. He's just like an anime protagonist, you guys are all my wings, but obviously, real-life women don't only marry the protagonist.
"In that case, you should politely refuse him." Shirakawa Natsumi smiled, having originally thought this task would be difficult to complete.
But with two top-tier players, Mi Zhi Shi and Jiang En Hui, carrying him, he felt he could easily win without any effort.
What I originally thought would take a long time to complete may only take a few days if the plan goes smoothly.
If we can make good use of Ryoko Arishima's special XP system.
“I’ll return this to you later.” Jiang Enhui pointed to the competition invitation letter worth 200 million yen on the table: “I should be able to get a partial refund, and I’ll make up for the loss.”
"No need." Shirakawa Natsu glanced at it: "Just find a secluded place to throw it away later. This is from a copy shop. According to the personality of anime protagonists, they will definitely refuse the first time they ask for this kind of thing. They will need an opportunity to participate in the competition. So, since you only asked once, you don't need to worry about being exposed."
Jiang Enhui looked at him with a strange expression.
"Don't make that face, I'm just kidding." Shirakawa Natsu shrugged. "He wants to pursue you, so of course he won't accept your large sum of money as a thank you. His goal is to maintain this relationship, make you develop feelings for him, and then have you repay him with your body."
"Hmph." Jiang Enhui snorted but didn't say anything.
"By the way, since you're already planning to give up on him, could you do me a favor?" Shirakawa Natsumi said with a smile.
"What kind of help?" Jiang Enhui looked over suspiciously.
"How about a threesome?" Shirakawa Natsu was still thinking about the mission and needed her approval first.
Jiang Enhui's eyes lit up: "Is it that friend? Sure, but I've never used the back before. It would take three people, one on top and one on the bottom, is that okay?"
"..." Shirakawa Natsumi's mouth twitched, glancing at Jiang Enhui. If Mukai Yu saw his crush looking like this, he wondered how the shadow in his hand would compare to the day he saw Aunt Mafei being assaulted outside the door.
Although Jiang Enhui was verbally provocative, she had no intention of seeking excitement in public. She sat properly with her legs crossed.
Shirakawa Natsu figured it out: when Kang Eun-hye wore a work suit, she was a career elite; when she wore a sexy short skirt, she was a wanton woman with no chastity, only caring about having fun.
She handled the switching between identities very well.
After waiting for a while, Yu Mukai came over with Ryoko Arishima and Miyuki.
Yu Mukai's expression was clearly not good, Miyuki still had a carefree and unrestrained look, and Ryoko Arishima had her head slightly lowered.
Shirakawa Natsu's expression was strange; why did these three look like they were catching someone cheating?
Jiang Enhui stood up: "Let's go eat. I've already made a reservation at the restaurant."
"I'm really looking forward to it." Shirakawa Natsu smiled, suppressing her doubts and deciding to ask her brother later.
Jiang Enhui also drove there. When getting a ride, Arishima Ryoko did not go with Mukai Yu, but followed Shirakawa Natsu into the jeep.
"What's going on now?" Shirakawa Natsu fastened her seatbelt and looked at Arishima Ryoko sitting in the back.
"I'm sorry." Ryoko Arishima said, her head bowed.
"Don't apologize." Shirakawa Natsumi's lips twitched as she looked at Miyuki: "You're not really going to turn her gay, and then have Mukai Yu see you cheating, are you?"
“No.” Ryoko Arishima shook her head frantically, her porcelain doll-like face flushed red: “I don’t like girls.”
"That's good." Shirakawa Natsumi breathed a sigh of relief. If he had to compete with his brother for a woman, he really wouldn't have had the confidence. "So what happened?"
Ryoko Arishima briefly recounted what happened after the two left.
The process was simple: Ryoko Arishima was feeling down, and Mikoku offered her words of comfort.
After what just happened, Ryoko Arishima was of course not going to be turned gay, but she no longer felt the initial wariness and unfamiliarity towards the cool older sister, Mikoto, and treated her as a close friend.
Upon hearing this, Shirakawa Natsu shook her head. People are so realistic; good-looking people are more likely to gain favor with others.
Ryoko Arishima was disappointed with Yu Mukai's behavior and even angrier at his showing affection for Eunhye Kang.
So he had Miyuki tell Yu Mukai that he wanted to pursue her.
That's why Yutaka Mukai's face looked so grim just now.
She did this to deliberately annoy him, so she didn't get into Jiang Enhui's car, but instead got into this Jeep.
"Sigh." Shirakawa Natsu sighed. This matter can't really be entirely blamed on Arishima Ryoko.
Yu Mukai knew that Ryoko Arishima had a crush on him, but he kept her hanging on while he flirted with Eunhye Kang.
When Miyuki asked him about his relationship with Arishima Ryoko, he only said they were friends.
"You guys are really..." Shirakawa Natsu showed a regretful expression on her face, but her heart was completely different.
Despite some unexpected events, everything proceeded as planned.
Looking at Ryoko Arishima in the car's rearview mirror, her cheeks were flushed red, and she seemed to realize that her behavior was inappropriate.
Shirakawa Natsu sighed. If he hadn't appeared, Arishima Ryoko would most likely have been completely devoted to Mukai Yu.
Unlike Jiang Enhui, she clearly understands what she needs and can easily give up on things.
She will probably love Yu Mukai forever, only to end up heartbroken.
Shirakawa Natsu felt that her blond-haired behavior had, in effect, saved the innocent girl.
To get her to completely give up on Mukai Yu, two steps are needed.
The first step is to make her feel that her love is not pure enough, which means destroying her belief.
That's what we're going to do tonight, using her special XP, it's possible.
The second step will complete the task.
As Shirakawa Natsu was pondering, the jeep slowly came to a stop in front of a restaurant.
written request for leave
I kneel before my dear readers, I'm so sorry, I have to take the day off today. Thank you!
Chapter 196 I am a prop
Kang Eun-hye made a reservation at a Japanese restaurant.
After Shirakawa Natsu and her two companions entered the restaurant, a waiter led them to a private room and opened the sliding door.
"Shirakawa-kun." Yu Mukai stood up to greet him.
"Hmm." Shirakawa Natsu frowned slightly, looking at his energetic expression, as if he had the world in his grasp. What was he up to now?
He was just a moment ago acting like a victim whose girlfriend had been bullied.
Ryoko Arishima moved a step to the side behind him, keeping a half-step distance from Miyuki.
She didn't want Yuu to think that she was with Miyuki.
At the photography exhibition just now, I was just angry that Yutaka Mukai cared more about Kang Eun-hye.
