The strong, muscular man was repairing furniture, sweat dripping down his skin, but he remained completely focused on the tools in front of him.

　　A plump married woman stood beside him, her eyes fixed on him.

　　This damn familiar scene… Shirakawa Natsumi pouted, as if she had triggered some strange mechanism again.

　　But this absolutely cannot continue.

　　Shirakawa Natsu secretly took out her phone and sent a pre-edited message to a number.

　　Yu Mukai hung the clock up and wiped the fine sweat from his forehead: “It’s fixed.”

　　Hojo Maki was taken aback for a moment before she came to her senses and smiled, “Thank you for your hard work.”

　　“When I came in, I saw that some other places were also loose.” Yu Mukai picked up the hammer and shook it in his hand: “I’ll take care of it all.”

　　Hojo Maki shook her head: “Too much trouble.”

　　”Sister Mafei, please let me stay for half a month. Please allow me to do what I can.” Mukai Yu said, bowing deeply to her.

　　Having reached this point, Hojo Maki had no reason to stop her and nodded.

　　Shirakawa Natsu stood aside, watching Mukai Yu skillfully repair various items in the room.

　　The house had been without a male owner for a long time, and many parts had fallen into disrepair. However, these were the parts that did not affect daily life and were preserved.

　　Yutaka Mukai was clearly enjoying himself, with a smile on his face the whole time.

　　Hojo Maki, the beautiful married woman, stood to the side, her eyes glancing occasionally at Mukai Yu’s position, her expression complex, her eyes filled with a sense of reminiscence.

　　”No way.” Shirakawa Natsumi doesn’t have mind-reading abilities, but for a married woman to make such a lonely and nostalgic expression, she’s most likely thinking of her husband.

　　It’s not hard to guess; this room is an old-fashioned dwelling, and the old furniture and equipment are bound to break down frequently.

　　It’s impossible for Hojo Maki’s husband to hire someone to come over for such a small matter; he would definitely do it himself.

　　Of course, it’s impossible for Yutaka Mukai to look like Maki Hojo’s husband.

　　However, young and handsome boys all have similar expressions when they are focused on doing something.

　　Having lived alone for a long time, Hojo Maki inevitably developed a strange sense of dependence upon seeing this scene.

　　Shirakawa Natsu felt a sense of foreboding. Women are emotional creatures, especially women who have been lonely for a long time.

　　Once she connects her husband with the young man in front of her, the beautiful memories she has will unconsciously be projected onto the person in reality.

　　Shirakawa Natsu noticed that Hojo Maki’s gaze lingered on Mukai Yu for longer and longer periods.

　　”The Joker is myself; I am the one who shouldn’t be here.”

　　”This is fine too.” Yu Mukai stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and smiled broadly. Sunlight streamed through the window and shone on his face, making him seem to glow.

　　Shirakawa Natsumi had to objectively say that Mukai Yu was very handsome at that moment.

　　Not to mention married woman Hojo Maki, women of that age have absolutely no resistance to this kind of boy.

　　When Shirakawa Natsu glanced at her, she saw Hojo Maki turn her head slightly away, her face showing a fleeting hint of interest, which she quickly concealed.

　　He had no doubt that Aunt Ma Fei’s black pantyhose could open up on their own with just a little stimulation from his hand.

　　”Ring ring ring!” The sudden ringing of the cell phone made Hojo Maki tremble. She quickly stood up straight, snapping out of her daze.

　　The voice came from the direction of Mukai Yu. He quickly took out his phone, saw that it was an unfamiliar number, and answered the phone: “Hello, this is Mukai Yu. May I ask who you are?”

　　There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before a voice came through.

　　Shirakawa Natsu couldn’t hear the voice on the other end of the phone from where she was standing, and Mukai Yu’s expression changed instantly.

　　He stood there, frozen, opening his mouth as if to say something, but unable to utter a word.

　　His unusual expression immediately caught the attention of Hojo Maki. She frowned slightly and looked at Iyu with her beautiful eyes.

　　After a long pause, Xiang Jingyu finally spoke, “Okay… okay, I understand.”

　　He waited a while after he finished speaking before hanging up the phone.

　　Hojo Maki glanced at him unintentionally, and Mukai Yu gave an awkward smile: “Sorry, I have something to do and need to go out for a while.”

　　As he spoke, his gaze involuntarily drifted downwards, avoiding Hojo Maki’s eyes, yet stealing glances from the corner of his eye.

　　The whole thing seemed particularly complicated.

　　Shirakawa Natsumi smiled, then suddenly seemed to realize something and said, “Mukai-kun, excuse me, was it Ryoko Shima who called?”

　　”Uh-huh!” Yu Mukai shuddered and looked at Natsumi Shirakawa awkwardly.

　　”I’m sorry, Mukai-kun.” Shirakawa Natsu quickly apologized to him: “Miss Ryoko Aishima asked me for your phone number. She said it was about a class reunion and she needed to contact you. She’s your classmate, so I gave her your number. Sorry, I forgot to tell you.”

　　Shirakawa Natsu looked completely unaware of his relationship with Arishima Ryoko, or that he admired Hojo Maki.

　　Upon hearing that Shirakawa Natsumi said it was a class reunion, Mukai Yu’s expression visibly relaxed, and he chuckled twice: “You called me in a hurry, but didn’t say what it was about. I’ll go take a look.”

　　”Yes, here are the keys.” Hojo Maki suddenly walked up and handed him a bunch of keys.

　　Yu Mukai took the keys, a fleeting moment of relief flashing in his eyes, and quickly said, “Thank you, Maki-nee.”

　　Hojo Maki smiled, nodded, and waved to him.

　　Yu Mukai left through the entrance hall.

　　Shirakawa Natsu looked at his back and pouted. He was still too inexperienced. With his performance just now, how could he possibly fool Hojo Maki?

　　With Aunt Mafei’s years of experience as a detective, she probably already guessed most of the story just from his expression.

　　When Shirakawa Natsu glanced at Hojo Maki, she was disappointed. It seemed that her intelligence had returned to its previous state, and her face was expressionless.

　　The two sat on the sofa and discussed their trip to Yan for a while.

　　Hojo Maki sat up and rubbed her shoulders, which seemed to be a little sore.

　　”Aunt Maki,” Shirakawa Natsumi said with a smile, “would you like me to massage your shoulders? I know some simple massage techniques.”

　　Looking at the voluptuous Hojo Maki, if he could use the blonde massage technique to gain some favor, it would make things easier for him later.

　　Hojo Maki shook her head directly: “It’s okay, let’s continue, I’m used to it.”

　　”Hmph.” Shirakawa Natsu chuckled dryly and continued explaining the itinerary. This Aunt Maki really wasn’t giving him any chance at all.

　　Meanwhile, as agreed, Yu Mukai arrived at the foot of an apartment building.

　　Ryoko Arishima stood under the tree, looking delighted, and waved to him.

　　”Sorry… I’m late.” Yu Mukai didn’t dare to look at Ryoko Arishima, and lowered his head slightly. Ryoko Arishima looked very beautiful today.

　　She wore a white spaghetti strap dress, revealing her slender, fair arms, adorned with a black belt at the waist, and high-heeled sandals that showed off her five crystal-clear toes.

　　Her porcelain doll-like face was lightly made up, but her lipstick was rather bright, the same color scheme as Hojo Maki’s from a few days ago.

　　Unlike her usual innocent image, Ryoko Arishima today exudes a blend of innocence and sexiness.

　　”Thank you.” Ryoko Arishima looked at him. “I thought you weren’t coming.”

　　”I…you said you had something important to tell me.” Yu Mukai scratched his head. “What is it? I have something to do later…”

　　Before he could finish speaking, Ryoko Arishima grabbed his hand and said with a smile, “Come with me, there’s a place I really want to go.”

　　”Huh?” Mukai Yu looked puzzled as she took his hand and started running.

　　When the girl held his hand, Yu Mukai tried to break free, but his gentle nature prevented him from doing so.

　　And just like that, I was led into a taxi.

　　The two stopped in front of a water park.

　　In this kind of weather, water activities are the most popular activity, and the park is already packed with people even before we enter.

　　Some young ladies, who had changed into their swimsuits in advance, were showing off their enviable figures without any restraint.

　　Yu Mukai’s expression changed several times. He looked at Ryoko Ayashima beside him and hurriedly said, “Um, I didn’t bring a swimsuit.”

　　“I’ve already bought it for Yu-kun.” Ryoko Arishima picked up her backpack. “I always remember Yu’s size.”

　　”But, I…” Yu Mukai tried to find an excuse to decline, as his admired senior, Maki Hojo, was at home.

　　He wasn’t stupid; he could sense that Hojo Maki-senpai also had some affection for him.

　　”Yu, don’t misunderstand, I don’t mean to get back together or anything like that.” A hint of disappointment appeared on Ryoko Arishima’s face. “After all, there are some places you can’t go to alone. My female friends all have boyfriends and can’t go with me, and my male friends can’t go to certain places with me… So, Yu is the only one left. Has this caused you any trouble?”

　　After she finished speaking, she looked up at Yu Mukai, holding two tickets she had already bought in her hand.

　　When Mukai Yu felt her gaze fixed on him, he quickly turned his head away and said, “No…no.”

　　”That’s great.” Ryoko Arishima patted her chest. “I thought it would cause trouble for Yutaka Mukai.”

　　With a complicated expression, Yu Mukai was passively pulled into the water park, watching Ryoko Arishima change into her swimsuit and come out of the changing room.

　　She was wearing a coat, and when she walked up to Yu Mukai, she gently pulled it open to reveal the style underneath.

　　That was a slightly sexier style than regular swimwear.

　　Ryoko Arishima blushed and twirled in front of him: “Does it look good?”

　　”Hmm.” Yu Mukai lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly at him.

　　Few men can resist the idea of ​​their ex-girlfriend suddenly becoming sexy.

　　”Let’s go.” Ryoko Arishima took his hand.

　　Yu Mukai felt that their behavior had gone beyond that of ordinary friends, but he couldn’t refuse.

　　The two played many activities together, including combination slides, rafting, water trampolines, surfing, and water polo. One activity after another gradually drew them in, making them forget their worries and fully enjoy the fun.

　　The two of them had smiles on their faces when they came out of the water park.

　　Ryoko Arishima clasped her hands together restlessly, her glistening skin still damp with water, her long hair clinging to her skin, exuding a pure yet alluring charm: “I’m so happy. Coming to the water park in the summer was definitely the right decision. It’s like having a wonderful date.”

　　After she finished speaking, she looked at Yu Mukai and asked, “Yu, do we look like we’re on a date?”

　　”Ah…” Yu Mukai was taken aback, and quickly said, “This isn’t a date.”

　　After he finished speaking, he seemed to realize he had been too direct and lowered his head slightly.

　　Disappointment flashed in Ryoko Arishima’s eyes, but she quickly looked up at Yu Mukai and said, “Yu, I love you, so please consider dating me.”
