Chapter 37

They were both stunned.

Hoshino Ki seemed to have a girlfriend.

This was a woman's intuition.

A sixth sense.

Judging by Hoshino Ki's usual indifferent demeanor.

The other party was not a student at the school.

Suzuki Sonoko had been guarding against it day and night.

Wandering near his shoe locker every day.

And always guarding against any girls approaching his shoe locker.

She hadn't expected.

That someone else had gotten there first.

At this moment, both were wearing different styles of bikini underwear.

Standing in the narrow space of the fitting room.

In the mirror.

Their perfect figures were visible at a glance.

From head to toe, there wasn't a single excess part.

Their smooth, fair skin was reflected in the mirror just like that.

Seventeen.

Truly a beautiful age.

At this moment, Mouri Ran didn't know how to comfort Suzuki Sonoko.

They weren't dating.

Hoshino Ki didn't even know Suzuki Sonoko's feelings.

Even if he had a girlfriend, you couldn't call him a heartless man.

Now she could only watch her best friend feel dejected.

Perhaps it was because her best friend had been talking about Hoshino Ki in her ear all day.

For the past few days, she had been dreaming of Hoshino Ki's figure every day.

Causing Mouri Ran to not know how to face him.

Whether at school or outside.

"Sonoko, don't overthink it."

Mouri Ran held Suzuki Sonoko's shoulders and comforted her softly:

"Maybe this girl is his sister, who knows?"

"Hoshino-kun is an orphan, he doesn't have a sister..."

Suzuki Sonoko looked dejected at this moment.

Staring at the floor of the fitting room, lost in spirit.

Like a shell that had lost its soul.

"You've already investigated him? Hehehe..."

Mouri Ran twitched her lips and smiled helplessly.

Deeply admiring her best friend's initiative.

Suddenly!

She seemed to realize something from Sonoko's words.

"Sonoko, you just said..."

Mouri Ran murmured:

"Hoshino-san... is an orphan?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Suzuki Sonoko was still in a soul-lost state.

Her eyes were hollow.

As if she could no longer think or move.

"So that's how it is..."

Mouri Ran raised her hand and covered her mouth.

Shock appeared in her eyes instantly.

Previously, she had shown a very resistant and impolite reaction to Hoshino Ki.

It really shouldn't have been.

If she looked at it from another angle.

Wouldn't her rude behavior at the rental car agency that day.

Have already hurt Hoshino Ki?

Mouri Ran felt extremely guilty.

Her blue eyes gradually lowered.

The two girls in the fitting room were both heavy-hearted.

While Hoshino Ki outside the fitting room was completely relaxed. ===== CHAPTER 102 =====

Having just obtained one billion yen.

Hoshino Ki, who was about to reach the peak of his life.

Did not care about the things bothering these two girls.

To him.

The most important thing right now was how to send Miyano Akemi away.

He just had to wait for her sister, Miyano Shiho, to appear.

And fulfill his promise.

In the anime.

After Miyano Shiho drank the drug and shrank.

She was supposed to want to go to Kudo Shinichi's house for refuge first.

It was raining that day.

Plus the long-term confinement.

Miyano Shiho's body must have been very weak.

Just as she was about to reach Kudo Shinichi's house.

She finally collapsed from exhaustion at the door of Professor Agasa's house.

As long as Hoshino Ki could pick up Miyano Shiho before the Professor, it would be fine.

"Hoshino-san, what are you thinking about?"

At this moment, Mouri Ran had changed back into her own clothes.

She was holding the underwear she had tried on in her hand.

And handed it to Hoshino Ki.

"Nothing..."

Hoshino Ki snapped back to reality instantly.

He looked up at Mouri Ran and shook his head.

He took the clothes.

For some reason.

He saw many complex emotions in Mouri Ran's eyes.

They seemed different from her previous gaze. ===== CHAPTER 103 =====

Previously, Mouri Ran had been very resistant to him.

But now, it was full of pity?

Heartache?

Sympathy?

What did that mean?

"Thanks!"

Hoshino Ki didn't delve too deeply into the emotions in her eyes.

Every time Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko were together.

Their eyes always changed strangely like this.

Were all girls like this?

Hoshino Ki looked at Suzuki Sonoko behind Mouri Ran.

She just secretly glanced at him.

Then quickly looked away.

Her eyes were full of disappointment and heartbreak.

As if looking at a heartless man.

"?"

A woman's heart.

Is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.

Next was the clothing store.

The two girls took Hoshino Ki to shop through the entire mall.

Finally.

Just as the mall was about to close.

Hoshino Ki's hands were full of large and small bags.

He could be said to have returned with a full load today.

As he was about to leave.

He felt his back was a bit itchy.

"Damn it! Who is it! Which woman did this!"

Suzuki Sonoko stared at Hoshino Ki's back.

Her hands were twisted like a rope.

Madly tearing at her own skirt.

Her feet stomping on the mud ground non-stop.

"Sonoko, calm down! The skirt is going to break!"

Seeing this, Mouri Ran pounced over to grab the skirt hem from Suzuki Sonoko's hands.

And thoughtfully smoothed out the wrinkled skirt for her.

"Ah! Ran, have I been dumped again?"

Suzuki Sonoko's emotions were like the weather that changed as soon as it was mentioned.

Originally, being able to go shopping with Hoshino Ki was something that made her feel very happy.

But once she thought about the fact that shopping with him was to buy clothes for another woman.

This point was enough to make Suzuki Sonoko insanely jealous.

Don't underestimate a woman's jealousy.

Many vicious female supporting characters in TV dramas were driven by a heart of jealousy.

To be able to do so many vicious things.

Suzuki Sonoko was jealous.

Jealous of the woman beside Hoshino Ki.

"Sigh! Sonoko..."

Mouri Ran didn't know how to comfort Sonoko either.

She just kept looking at Hoshino Ki's back as he walked away.

Lost in thought.

"Bang!"

Back home.

Hoshino Ki placed the large and small bags in his hand by the bed.

That was the position close to Miyano Akemi.

She was already asleep.

At this moment, Miyano Akemi was like a harmless kitten.

In a tiger's den.

Showing her most vulnerable state without any defense.

Her complexion was rosy.

Her cherry lips were opening and closing.

One could almost feel her shallow breathing.

Her small, exquisite nose was as perky as an elf's.

On her tightly closed eyes, her long, curled eyelashes were flickering.

Not knowing what kind of sweet dream she was having.

Her brows were trembling slightly.

"....."

Hoshino Ki could see.

Miyano Akemi was pretending to be asleep.

He didn't expose her.

Instead, he took the pajamas and walked to the bathroom with light steps.

After Hoshino Ki left.

Miyano Akemi opened her eyes.

"Phew~"

She sighed deeply.

The heart in her chest was beating non-stop.

No matter how many times she gave herself psychological suggestions.

She would still be nervous and afraid.

After these two days of getting along.

Although she already knew that the other party wasn't a bad person.

After all, he even adopted a stray cat.

The room was also kept very tidy.

And he would bring dinner back for her.

But.

A man and a woman alone in one room.

It was inevitable that one would feel uncomfortable.

Miyano Akemi moved her gaze downward.

She saw the large and small bags by the bed.

She reached out her hand and took out the underwear inside.

Her heart suddenly understood. ===== CHAPTER 104 =====
