Chapter 64

Jingu Nao murmured a few words to herself, showing signs of fatigue, but she quickly lifted her head from his embrace, a bright smile on her face, and took Shirakawa’s hand: “Come on, it’s our first time visiting the Xia family, we must do our best.”

“Hey, don’t make it sound like you’re meeting the parents.” Shirakawa Natsu laughed along with her and took her hand in return.

In the afternoon, Jingu Nao was still chattering away, and Shirakawa Natsu gradually got used to it. If one day it suddenly became quiet around him, he would probably feel uncomfortable.

He sent a message to Mi Zhi Shi, telling her not to mess around with women that night, to come home early, and to talk to her about something important.

Miyuki quickly sent a text message confirming that she knew.

Evening arrived quickly, and Shirakawa Natsu, holding Jingu Nao’s hand, went to the supermarket and bought a lot of groceries.

He originally wanted to show off his skills to Jingu Nao, but found that Jingu Nao was a better cook than him.

Watching the kitchen knife spin nimbly in Jingu Nao’s hands, he began to question life once again.

Why is it that every time-traveling predecessor can show off by cooking, while everyone I encounter cooks better than me?

“Nao, why are you so good at cooking?” Shirakawa Natsumi pouted as she placed plate after plate of dishes on the table.

“Hehe~” Jingu Nao quickly plated the dishes and said proudly, “Because Nao has always been working hard to become a good wife.”

“Hmm.” Shirakawa Natsu nodded in deep agreement and sat down at the dining table. Whoever could marry Jingu Nao would indeed be very happy.

She is always full of energy, has a high level of attractiveness, and although her breasts are not large, her legs are straight and long. She also likes to wear black stockings and is an excellent cook. She truly fulfills all the beautiful aspirations of men for their ideal woman.

The apartment door opened, and Miyuki returned. She paused for a moment after seeing a table full of dishes.

“Nao made all of this.” Shirakawa Natsu picked up her chopsticks. “Let’s eat first.”

“Mm.” Mi no Shi nodded, didn’t ask any more questions, and sat down to start eating.

With Nao Jingu around, the atmosphere at the meal was always lively and never dull.

After the group finished eating, they sat on the sofa. Shirakawa Natsu’s expression gradually became strange, and she glanced furtively at Miyuki.

Show your girlfriend the video of her confessing her love to me in front of your buddies.

This is some kind of inhuman Cowboy plot, like in movies and TV shows where a yellow-haired cowboy steals the protagonist’s wife and then sends him a DVD.

The more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed.

Jingu Nao, however, did not feel embarrassed at all. She took out her phone, opened the video, and handed it to Miyuki.

“I want to be with Natsu!” Kanna Hojo’s timid voice came from the video.

I don’t know what strange method Nao Jingu used to film it, but the sound is exceptionally clear.

Shirakawa Natsu noticed Miyuki’s expression. Although she still had that cool and aloof older sister look on her face, her brows were furrowed.

Even after the video ended, Miyuki remained holding the phone, staring at the screen.

“Um…” Shirakawa Natsu gestured to Jingu Nao with his eyes to speak, but he didn’t dare to say anything in the situation.

Jingu Nao grinned and leaned close to Miyuki: “Call Kanna.”

As she spoke, she took out her phone, dialed Hojo Kanna’s number, and then handed it to Minoki.

The call was quickly answered, and Kanna Hojo’s voice came from the other end: “Jingu-san, what’s up with calling me?”

Miyuki stared blankly at her phone, saying nothing.

“Jingu-kun, can you hear me?” Hojo Kanna asked, her voice filled with confusion.

Miyuki opened her mouth and slowly said, “It’s me, Miyuki.”

After she finished speaking, there was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone. After a long while, the call ended with a “click”.

A busy signal came from the phone.

The atmosphere instantly became awkward.

“Excuse me, I’ll be right back.” Shirakawa Natsu said, pulling Jingu Nao along as they walked to the corner. “Didn’t you say there was absolutely no chance of anything going wrong?”

“Don’t worry,” Jingu Nao said confidently.

“How can I rest easy?” Shirakawa Natsu pointed at Miyuki, who was sitting on the sofa in a daze: “My brother is completely out of his mind.”

“Hehe.” Jingu Nao turned to look at Miyuki and said, “She needs to figure out what she wants herself. No one else can help her, so I accelerated the process. Love, once you’ve loved, that moment will stay forever. All we can do is wait.”

Shirakawa Natsu couldn’t find a reason to refute it for a moment, so she could only return to the sofa.

He looked at Miyuki. Although her expression remained unchanged, her silence made the air feel heavier.

“Ring ring ring!” A cell phone rang, breaking the silence.

It came from Miyuki’s pocket. She took out her phone, and when she saw the caller ID, her pupils contracted. As if she had made up her mind, her whole body tensed up. She answered the phone, and Hojo Kanna’s voice came from the other end.

“I’m sorry, I was unavailable to answer the phone just now. Is Jingu Nao with you? She gave me quite a fright.”

“Yeah, we’re having dinner together. I borrowed her phone to make a call.” Miyuki nodded. “Is there something wrong?”

There was a moment of silence on the other end, even though it was Miyuki who had called her first.

However, Kanna Hojo wasn’t angry. She said in a deliberately relaxed tone, “Then you should know by now that I want to date Natsu.”

She paused for a moment after speaking, then continued, “However, I’m a little confused. Xia is a gentle person, just like my father, who would stand up for me in times of danger. I think if I could date him, I would be very happy, but…”

Miyu interrupted her: “Isn’t this a good thing? You’re brave to say what you like. If you’ve made up your mind, then do it. Don’t leave any regrets because of confusion. I’ll still be your friend.”

Without waiting for Kanna Hojo to speak, she said directly, “I’m sorry, I have to hang up.”

After saying that, she hung up the phone and leaned back on the sofa, completely relaxing.

“…” Shirakawa Natsu looked bewildered and glanced at Jingu Nao, her eyes saying, “Is this what you meant by ‘stable’?”

In anime, in this situation, the male and female protagonists would confess their feelings, then happily put aside their past grievances and be together happily ever after.

But in reality, Miyuki simply gave up.

Jingu Nao shrugged: “I just let them make their own choices, and this is the result of their thinking.”

“You son of a bitch!” Shirakawa Natsumi snapped, turning to look at Miyuki: “Hey, don’t give up like this.”

Miyuki shook his head: “I can’t give her happiness. If she likes you, please take good care of her.”

“Hey, take back what you just said, now’s the time.” Shirakawa Natsuya was also furious. After going around in circles for so long, she had been exhausted and worried sick. These two were just torturing each other with no progress. She should have just gone to Kimura Momo and used these days to learn new positions.

That fox girl can also gain four or five points.

Mi no Shi closed her eyes and remained silent.

Just then, “Ring ring ring.” Another cell phone ring broke the atmosphere; this time it was Shirakawa Natsu’s phone.

He took it out and saw that it was a call from Kanna Hojo. He frowned and answered. Kanna Hojo’s weak voice came from the other end: “Natsu, can you come and keep me company? I feel terrible.”

“Sorry…” Shirakawa Natsumi was in no mood to keep her company and was about to refuse.

Jingu Nao suddenly waved her hand at him and mouthed, “Promise her, I’m afraid she’ll go to extremes.”

Shirakawa Natsumi trembled, her anger rising. She patiently tried to calm herself, asking in a gentler voice, “Where are you?”

“I’m at the entrance of East University, all alone,” Kanna Hojo said weakly.

“Don’t wander off, I’m coming right away.” After hanging up the phone, Shirakawa Natsume looked at Miyuki and said, “You can go now, she will definitely forgive you.”

Miyuki remained seated on the sofa, silent and refusing to utter a word.

“You…” Shirakawa Natsu wanted to call her a coward, but suddenly felt that she was like a wounded stray dog ​​hiding in a corner licking its wounds. Her heart softened instantly, and she took a deep breath and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t let her get hurt. I’ll come back after I send her back.”

After he finished speaking, he quickly left the apartment building.

Only Miyuki and Jingu Nao remained in the room.

“You seem to genuinely like Natsu.” Miyuki suddenly said.

“Hehe, yes.” Jingu Nao nodded affirmatively: “You really like Hojo Kanna too, right?”

Miyuki didn’t answer, but said, “Natsu is my only friend. We’ve always been together. He’s the only one I trust, and I believe in him.”

“Although he was in poor health, he always stepped up at crucial moments and arranged everything properly.”

“It was the same before, and it will be the same this time. I just need to wait for him.”

“I see.” Jingu Nao smiled and looked at Miyuki: “I saw fear in your eyes. You were afraid, pretending to be mature, but your eyes were like a child’s. When you were afraid, you hid behind Natsu.”

“Like a puppy, give up thinking and hand over your life and the power of choice to your owner.”

Mi Zhi Shi didn’t speak, but lowered her head and hugged herself tightly.

When Shirakawa Natsu walked to the East Gate, she saw Hojo Kanna standing there in the distance.

He was surprised when he got closer; he had expected Kanna Hojo to have red eyes and be crying her eyes out.

But apart from some lingering sorrow, she didn’t seem to be in much pain.

She even wore exquisite makeup, a pure and innocent dress, but her chest was high and bulging, and high-heeled sandals that revealed her fair toes.

Both innocent and alluring, Shirakawa Natsu was angry, but her body still genuinely swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

“Sorry I’m late.” Shirakawa Natsu scratched her head and walked over.

Kanna Hojo grabbed his arm without a word, her face slightly flushed: “It’s okay, can you come with me somewhere?”

“Okay, sure.” Shirakawa Natsu felt her arm almost sink in; at this size, it could definitely go straight in.

As they walked, Shirakawa Natsu felt her arm digging into her flesh, rubbing against Hojo Kanna’s body as she moved.

Soon, Shirakawa Natsumi sensed something was wrong. The number of normal shops around her decreased, and they were replaced by shops that gradually turned pink, as if the air was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.
