Chapter 326

Hoshino Terumi skillfully reached for the shoe cabinet and took out a pair of slippers. Suddenly, she discovered something and said: "Yoko, how come you're missing a pair of slippers?"

Okino Yoko's heart skipped a beat. She tried her best to act normal and laughed: "I accidentally broke them while dancing at home last time."

"Dancing in slippers?"

Hoshino Terumi frowned at Okino Yoko, her tone somewhat serious, like an older sister:

"Do you know how dangerous that is? If you accidentally hurt yourself, do you know how much trouble it would cause? You know you have a lot of commercials and schedules right now, right?"

"Yes, I know I was wrong."

Okino Yoko hurriedly conceded, not daring to argue: "I won't wear slippers when I dance next time."

"It's good that you know you were wrong."

Hoshino Terumi's tone softened.

"You're at the peak of your popularity right now; it wouldn't be worth it if you affected your future because of something like hurting yourself dancing in slippers at home."

"I won't dare do it again next time."

After Okino Yoko finished speaking, she pulled Hoshino Terumi into the living room and laughed: "Come, try the food I made; it's very delicious."

Hoshino Terumi followed behind Okino Yoko, looking at the wet mark on the back of her skirt and smelling the strange scent in the air, and couldn't help but curl her lips.

It seems I came at just the right time.

Hoshino Terumi wasn't just wandering around for no reason; she had received news and specifically rushed over.

It was said that Akaso Kaze was with Okino Yoko tonight.

The source of the news was, of course, the manager, Yamagishi Eiichi.

She had already promised that as long as she got Akaso Kaze's permission to join the company, she would choose Yamagishi as her manager.

Ever since the four-member group disbanded, Hoshino Terumi's career had been going from bad to worse.

Especially because she kept herself clean, let alone lead roles, it was hard for her to even compete for supporting roles against people from other big companies.

Now she didn't even have a manager or a company and had become a completely freelance artist.

Freelance artist sounds nice, but in reality, it's the bottom of the entertainment industry; basically, they are 18th-tier artists and can't be considered stars at all.

Therefore, when Yamagishi Eiichi found her and told her about Okino Yoko's rise to fame, Hoshino Terumi was immediately tempted.

Hoshino Terumi wasn't really a naive girl; it's just that the people she met weren't good matches.

Even if you pay the price, whether you get anything or what you get is hard to say.

She also wanted to rely on a big tree to provide shade and shelter, but she had never met a suitable candidate.

Now, someone truly worth relying on had finally appeared.

In this regard, Akaso Kaze was definitely a towering tree; it was said that all the women who had a relationship with him were living very well.

Even the daughters of big families like the Hatamoto Group, the Suzuki Group, and the Shiratori family were said to have intricate connections with him.

Relying on him definitely wouldn't be a loss.

Hoshino Terumi looked around with her big eyes.

The balcony was empty, and the bathroom—she figured the Onmyoji wouldn't hide in such a place.

It seemed it could only be the bedroom.

"Oh, Yoko, it seems you haven't finished yet. You continue; I'll go to the bedroom to rest for a bit."

Hoshino Terumi turned and walked inside.

Okino Yoko hurriedly stopped her.

"Terumi-nee, it'll be ready in a moment. You help me take out the bowls and chopsticks and open the wine; that'll be fine."

Hoshino Terumi curled her lips.

This girl was actually eating alone and didn't even think about their sisterhood from back then; it seemed she wouldn't be able to see Akaso Kaze today without dealing with her.

She sat down at the table with a cold smile.

Ding-dong, ding-dong~~

Just as she set the bowls and chopsticks, the doorbell rang again.

Okino Yoko frowned and muttered to herself: Why are there so many things happening today?

She looked through the peephole and was immediately stunned.

She opened the door in a daze, and two beauties were holding beers, greeting her with smiles: "Yoko, long time no see. We came to find you for a drink."

Okino Yoko's body stiffened for a moment, then she forced a smile: "Is that so? This... this... is great. It's been a long time since our Earth Ladies group got together."

The ones who came were Kusano Kaoru and Dakeno Yuki.

Now the four-member group was completely gathered.

Kusano Kaoru and Dakeno Yuki raised their eyebrows when they saw Hoshino Terumi.

It seems more than one person bribed the manager.

The three of them exchanged glances for a while and soon reached a consensus: deal with Okino Yoko first.

Okino Yoko was also very anxious.

She had originally planned to have a couple of drinks and then make an excuse to send Hoshino Terumi away.

Now that three people had come, it was going to be troublesome.

Okino Yoko wasn't stupid; she naturally knew their intentions. If she let them see Akaso Kaze, they would definitely take away some of her resources.

Okino Yoko narrowed her eyes and sneered in her heart.

If I can't get you drunk, I can get myself drunk. When the time comes, I'll slip into the room, lock the door, and snuggle under the covers with Akaso-san; I don't care how long you drink outside.

She immediately picked up the wine and said excitedly: "It's been a long time since we drank together. Come, I'll finish a can first."

She directly opened a can of beer and chugged it down.

Her bold appearance stunned the remaining three.

Hoshino Terumi was slightly surprised and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a while; I didn't expect your popularity to grow, and your tolerance for alcohol to have improved too."

All three of them opened their beers and started drinking.

"Ha..."

Okino Yoko endured the bitterness of the beer and opened another can: "Come, continue!"

"No problem, come, cheers." Hoshino Terumi said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I drank so happily."

Dakeno Yuki nodded in agreement and said: "Yeah, although we couldn't make much money or have much fame back then, as long as the four of us were together, we would be very happy."

Okino Yoko was drinking a bit too fast, her head was spinning, and she said with a smile: "Yeah, that's how we drank in the dorm back then, and we were sitting on the bed."

"Yeah, yeah, let's go drink on the bed."

Kusano Kaoru suggested with a smile.

Hearing the word "bed," Okino Yoko was startled and hurriedly said:

"Forget it, drinking in the living room is fine. If we go to the bedroom to drink, the bedroom will be full of the smell of beer."

"If we end up vomiting, that would be troublesome."

"If you want to relive the atmosphere from back then, just squeeze together on the sofa."

Hoshino Terumi said with a smile: "And what if we see something we shouldn't see in your room? That wouldn't be good, right, Yoko?"
