man in tokyo, professional boyfriend

Chapter 452 [451] Persuasion

In the room, Shiina Iori and Aiba Chiho sat facing each other.

Shiina Iori himself drank the cup of tea that Chiho handed over with a calm expression, while Chiho sat restlessly on her knees, holding the still warm red bean rice cake soup with both hands, with a squirming appearance.

Xue Nen's toes in the white socks couldn't help writhing, her face flushed with heat.

"so"

After seeing Chiho welcoming herself into the hut, she didn't intend to continue speaking, and Shiina Iori could only turn her head to look at the bulging suitcase hidden under the bed, with a peaceful voice:
"Where is Chiho going?"

"Didn't you say you're going to bed?"

"Goo~~"

As soon as Iori finally got to the point, Miss Chiho, whose face was blushing, snorted suddenly, and lay down on the table pitifully covering her little face as if she had been severely injured, as if she wanted to use her hands Bury yourself on the table.

"If Chiho doesn't plan to say anything, then I'll leave first."

However, Iori didn't seem to have the intention of forcing too much, and his tone was still flat.

"Mmmmmmm!!"

Qiansui was startled when she heard the words, and then she suddenly pardoned like a dream, raised her little head from the table with a whoosh, and nodded vigorously and quickly.

But immediately afterwards, I heard Shiina Iori continue to say leisurely: "But for the sake of your safety, Chiho, I will call Miss Takiya tomorrow, and she should come over and knock on your door in a hurry, right?"

"I don't know how terrible the reaction will be when you can't find anyone?"

"Mmmmmmm!!"

Hearing this casual 'threat', Ms. Chiho's face turned pale again. She seemed to have imagined the furious and worried scene when Ai knocked on the door but couldn't find anyone based on Shiina Iori's description. Shake your little head.

He looked at Yizhi pitifully, like a puppy who was so wronged that he was about to shed tears.

After hesitating for a long time, he slowly raised his phone to signal.

【Iori-kun please! 】

[Please keep it secret for me! 】

"Crack."

Pushing the mobile phone in front of Shiina Iori from a distance, Ms. Chiho clasped her hands together again, making an extremely sincere appearance of begging.

[If Sister Ai finds out that I lied to her, she will definitely kill me! 】

[The kind who stabs a knife in the stomach! 】

However, Shiina Iori was like a yellow-haired man grabbing the wife next door, sitting opposite the small table with an old god, ready to say at any time, "Madam, you don't want your daughter to have an accident, do you?" ’, even in front of Ms. Chiho’s extremely sincere request, she didn’t seem to be moved at all.

"Is that so?"

It's like the perfunctory Yazi between old couples and old wives.

Seeing Iori's recalcitrant appearance, Miss Chiho was a little at a loss for a while, she knelt and sat opposite the small table with her cheeks puffed out, and the two sides entered a stalemate.

But within 2 minutes of the 'stalemate', Chiho seemed to suddenly think of something, and suddenly picked up the phone to check the time.

Only 10 minutes until the scheduled taxi arrives!

However, when he turned his head to look at Iori who was drinking tea slowly in front of him, he felt a little discouraged.

【If I tell Iori-kun.】

【Won't you call sister Ai? 】

Seeing that Chiho finally let go, Shiina Iori finally smiled again, and said in a kind tone:
"Of course it is!"

"Chiho should also know Miss Takitani's personality very well, right? She likes to worry about everything."

"If I called her, then I should be in trouble afterwards."

Seeing Iori-kun's handsome smiling face, Miss Chiho had no choice but to lower her head and lay down on the table with a look of abandonment, feeling extremely depressed.

Die before your ambition is fulfilled.

The first time I lied to Iori-kun, he saw it right away.

Could it be that he is really good at cheating on girls?
Thinking wildly in her heart, Aiba Chiho had to pick up the phone from the table again, and suddenly didn't know where to start.

Shiina Iori seemed to see through the girl's mind at a glance, and said calmly:
"Let's start with where the money came from."

Chiho organized her words, then typed with some hesitation, and slowly raised her phone.

【That money is actually Mr. Ogasawara. That is, the liquidated damages paid to me by the company I signed with before. 】

[Because thanks to Iori's help to build a reputation, I think I should pay half of it. 】

"Liquidated damages?"

Shiina Iori noticed this term, and her eyes frowned subtly: "That is to say, that company would rather pay tens of millions in liquidated damages than terminate the contract with Chiho?"

"Didn't you say why?"

Chiho also lowered her head in silence when she heard the words, and shook her little head helplessly.

[However, it is said that it has something to do with my father. 】

[But I was still young before, so I never heard of it. 】

Hearing this, Shiina Iori finally understood.

He remembered that Chiho seemed to have told him before that his parents divorced a long time ago, and his father used to be a musician, but for unknown reasons, the family changed, so that now he has been living alone.

"Chiho, don't you have any contact information with your family?"

Although Shiina Iori guessed that after Chiho's aphasia, the relationship with her family must be ridiculously bad, but she didn't expect it to reach this level, and her brows tightened a bit.

"Um~"

Chiho didn't feel anything when she heard the words, and shook her head with a flat expression.

After thinking about it, he raised his phone.

[Both parents are not in Tokyo anymore. When I was underage, they sent money to my side as living expenses, and later even the money was gone. 】

[Because it is not necessary, I did not leave any contact information. 】

[However, if I remember correctly, my father should be in Yamagata Prefecture, so it should be no problem to ask him about the situation. 】

"."

Listening to Chiho's indifferent expression, and looking at the indifference and unfamiliarity that can be seen between the lines on the phone, Shiina Iori can roughly understand the situation of the Aiba family's family relationship.

No wonder, she never talked about the family affairs.

Knowing the cause and effect, Shiina Iori rubbed her chin, and suddenly said with some doubts:

"But why hide it from us?"

"Even if the working days are inconvenient these days, it doesn't matter if you ask Sister Ai or me on weekends, right?"

Aiba Chiho was startled, her small head drooped into the shadows, and she pursed her lips.

After hesitating for a long time, he typed on the phone.

When he raised his head again and held the phone screen towards Shiina Iori, a big smile hung on that cute and delicate face.

[It may be because both parties have remarried. 】

[They don't really like me being in touch with them. 】

[If Iori and Ai-sister go with me, do you think they will be implicated by me too? 】

[However, I have nothing to do with it, and I am not sad at all. I have already cut off contact with them in fact, and I will not have to bear the obligation of supporting the elderly. It is quite easy to think about it.]

【So, don’t worry about me at all~】

Shiina Iori read in silence.

Every character on the bright screen seems to be dancing with the girl's anxiety and fear of being discovered by herself. Just from the intentionally downplayed emotions, one can imagine that the other party is alone with her parents who have remarried and severed contact. What we have to face is by no means a simple 'rolling eyes' or 'rejection'.

The reason why even if you lie, you have to hide it from yourself and Miss Takitani, and go to meet alone, is this probably the reason?
Just imagining it gives people a little headache.

However, Iori didn't show any extra emotions on the surface because of this, but just finished reading those few paragraphs with a flat expression.

Then, as if feeling a little relieved, he exhaled and said:
"So this is ah."

"Since it's just going home, there really isn't any safety hazard."

"Ok!"

Hearing Shiina Iori's affirmative tone, Miss Chiho suddenly showed a joyful expression as if she had come back from a desperate situation, and nodded her head vigorously.

"Besides, it's not a strange thing, and there's no need to inform Ms. Takitani, it just got me into trouble."

"Mmmmmmm!!!"

Chiho was even more grateful when she heard the words, and her little head clicked so fast.

The smile on Yizhi's face became more and more kind: "In this case, it's enough for me to go back with you alone?"

"Hmm. Eh?!"

Just as she agreed habitually, Miss Chiho's little head seemed to suddenly realize the specific and detailed meaning of this sentence, the happy expression on her face suddenly froze, and even her little head, which was moving so fast, forgot to move, and couldn't help it. The stuck spring.

【What the hell? ! 】

It wasn't until two or three seconds later that Ms. Chiho seemed to be about to react, and suddenly raised the phone, her eyes widened.

Shiina Iori smiled calmly, and pointed at herself casually: "I mean, since you are not going to do troublesome things, Chiho, but just to ask about the specific situation at Dad's side, as a professional singer, I will tell you It shouldn't be a problem if you go together, right?"

"After all, if you, Chiho, who is the composer, can't sign a contract with another company, then I will lose a lot of profit if I help you sing."

"This is a very relevant matter."

"I like money."

"Eh--!"

Chiho realized that she had been entangled in Iori-kun's logic, and her two small hands were swaying quickly in front of her, wanting to refuse.But in the face of Iori's well-founded doubts, there was no reasonable reason to refute for a while, and he fell into a dilemma.

"how?"

Shiina Iori still had that calm smile, and it could be said that she had a good grasp of Xing's attitude: "Or, is there any hidden secret on Chiho's side that I can't let me go with?"

【No, but. This is a bit too much.】

Aiba Chiho couldn't find a suitable reason for the refusal in her blank mind, and Aiba Chiho blushed, trying to find an excuse.

【correct!If I suddenly take a boy to meet my father, I will definitely be misunderstood by them. It will be bad if I am regarded as a couple going to meet the parents! 】

Shiina Iori frowned first, then rolled her eyes:
"Isn't that just right?"

Aiba Chiho was stunned.

The next moment, she seemed to realize something suddenly. The pink color spread from Xue Nen's neck all the way up to the whole face. The brain seemed to be roasted, and steam rose from the top of her forehead.

Immediately afterwards, the girl knelt down and bowed deeply, knocked her little head on the table with a plop, and raised the phone high in the direction of Iori.

【Feel sorry!Iori-kun, if you are confessing to me on the premise of getting married, to be honest, you were really moved for a few seconds just now. 】

[But think about it carefully, Iori-kun is already a super scumbag who is dating countless girlfriends at the same time. If I step in at this time, I must be a proper third-party bad secretary, so even if my heart is tempted, it won't work. 】

【I am very sorry if I made Iori-kun feel sad!If I really want to find a boyfriend in the future, I will definitely consider your suggestion seriously. As for now, let's forget it for now!Please have a good time with your girlfriends at home. 】

Classmate Aiba Chiho, a light-speed card girl who has no feelings.

Shiina Iori, who was suddenly issued a good person card, had a black line on her face, and then explained helplessly: "No, I mean, since they are Chiho's parents, some words must be not very direct. Did you speak?"

"At a time like this, wouldn't it be more appropriate for me to be the assisting side to act as a bad face?"

Miss Chiho frowned.

Seeing her raise her head, Iori noticed that even though she had maintained a deep bow just now, Chiho's face was still hot, making her whole face flushed red.

"Furthermore, it's not true to pretend to be a couple." Shiina Iori said in a flat tone, as if she really didn't care, "Didn't you rent me to be your boyfriend once before?"

Hearing this, the stone in Chiho's heart immediately dropped.

However, when he realized the few paragraphs he had just sent, he quickly retracted the phone, and hurriedly pressed the delete button to delete it.

The girl was so embarrassed that her ears were almost hidden in her hair, but she didn't know how to express it, so she just lowered her head awkwardly, looking very apologetic.

Shiina Iori still didn't care, leaning her hands on the table: "How about it? As long as you take me back, I won't tell Miss Takiya."

"."

Chiho's ears turned red with embarrassment, and it took her a long time to raise her phone.

[Threatening me with Sister Ai! 】

【Too despicable!Iori-kun. 】

"Is this a promise?"

Shiina Iori still smiled indifferently.

Chiho hesitated, but finally nodded.

".Mmmm."

Only then did Shiina Iori show a cheerful expression, and stood up from the table: "Let's go then? Chiho, you booked a taxi. When I came, I saw a grandfather driver parked outside ahead of time, it should be Come early and wait for customers."

"Eh--!?"

Chiho's eyes widened immediately.

[Iori already knew? ! 】

"of course."

Shiina Iori got up and walked out, turned her head, and gave her a wicked smile: "Otherwise, why would I waste time with you?"

"Whoa!!!"

The girl was so angry that her cheeks puffed up immediately, but she had a helpless expression on her face.

"gone."

"what!"

Just when Iori was about to go out, Chiho seemed to suddenly think of something, took out a sheet of staff from the drawer, and handed it over with both hands.

"what is this?"

Iori took it in doubt, and then saw the music written on the page in beautiful and clean handwriting.

However, for the time being, there is only the melody and no lyrics.

After Aiba Chiho handed over the sheet music, she suddenly turned her head and pretended to scratch her face, as if nothing happened.

When I saw the title of the song, Iori suddenly laughed out loud, "Did Chiho plan it long ago? It's a deep plan~"

[No——! ! ! 】

Aiba Chiho immediately looked ashamed, and raised her phone high with a blushing face, expressing her strong objection to Iori's remarks.

"Yes, yes~"

"I know~"

"Chiho didn't do it on purpose at all, it's all because of my overthinking."

"Wow!!"

Shiina Iori didn't care, she clearly agreed, but still couldn't help laughing.

Chiho was so angry that she yelled and hit him with her small fist.

After folding up the sheet music and stuffing it into the trouser pocket, the two of them went out the door one after the other.

As the night wind blows, the corner of the page is exposed outside Iori's pocket,

Written on it is the title of the song.

"Travel With Me"
