Chapter 15

Her outfit today was the exquisite casual style popular among young girls these days.

On her upper body was a navy blue small suit jacket with soft texture and a crisp cut, and she was wearing a pure white round-neck knitted sweater inside.

On her lower body was an off-white pleated skirt that reached her knees; the skirt pleats were sharp and straight, hanging down naturally with her standing posture.

Under the pleated skirt were a pair of straight and slender legs, and she was wearing small white socks and indoor shoes on her feet.

Her soft, slightly curly golden long hair was draped behind her shoulders, and a few strands of hair fluttered slightly with her movements, making her side profile look even more beautiful.

Hearing this, Kondo Miki frowned and got up to go to the kitchen to help.

However, she had just come over.

Kondo Miyuki exhorted Kondo Miki, "Speaking of which, you haven't seen Natsume-kun for a long time. I heard he's in the same high school as you. You should get along well with him in the future, you know?"

Kondo Miki felt a burst of annoyance in her heart: "I know."

She had originally planned to go out and play with her best friend tonight.

But who knew that her mother would suddenly bring this Natsume Chikage over for dinner tonight and also require her to stay at home.

Girls at this age were relatively sensitive.

She was no exception.

She didn't know when she was young, but as she grew older, Kondo Miki could vaguely perceive that her mother seemed to have always wanted to set her up with this Natsume Chikage.

After hearing these words from her mother, it was even more so.

Because of this, she inevitably had resistance in her heart now.

She didn't have much affection for this Natsume Chikage; he looked dull and gloomy in the past.

She heard that before his family went bankrupt, he was signed up for many tutoring classes and interest classes.

But this person's academic performance was still very poor, not to mention that he hadn't cultivated any talent.

It could be said that before the family went bankrupt, he was purely a loafer.

Not to mention that his family had gone bankrupt now.

In a penniless situation, her mother at home still wanted to set her up with him?!

She was really convinced; she always made decisions without asking for her wishes!

One had to know that their family was at least middle-class now, and her father was a civil servant with an annual income of about 20 million yen.

They had cars and houses in Shibuya.

Was there really a need to set her up with that Natsume Chikage?

Not to mention that there were quite a few people with better conditions than Natsume Chikage pursuing her now.

Among them was Shankou Hakuta, who was pursuing her.

He looked good, had good academic performance, and his family background was much better than theirs.

Many classmates said that she and he were a good match.

Compared to all these, what was Natsume Chikage better than?

The more Kondo Miki thought about it, the more annoyed she became, feeling that she would just dismiss Natsume Chikage after he came over.

And at this time.

Natsume Chikage walked for about ten minutes according to the address and came to the front of a mid-range apartment in Shibuya.

He looked up at this apartment and hadn't expected that Kondo Miyuki's apartment was not far from where he worked.

Because most apartments in Japan had access control, it was impossible to enter without an access card.

The purpose was to prevent idle people from entering at will.

So Natsume Chikage could only stand at the entrance and take out his phone to call Kondo Miyuki.

Soon.

The call was connected.

【Natsume Chikage: Um, may I ask if this is Auntie Kondo?】

【Kondo Miyuki: It's me, it's me, you've already arrived?】

【Natsume Chikage: Mm, I've already arrived downstairs, but there is access control at the entrance…】

【Kondo Miyuki: Oh, oh, you press our house number now, I'll have my daughter open the access control for you.】

【Natsume Chikage: Okay.】

Natsume Chikage followed the instructions and pressed the corresponding house number on the digital panel at the door.

After a while, the access control of the main gate opened automatically.

He took the elevator to the corresponding floor and found the Kondo family's door.

After pressing the doorbell.

The door opened soon.

What came into view was a cold and arrogant girl, Kondo Miki.

Because he had recalled the memories of his predecessor, Natsume Chikage recognized at a glance that this person was Kondo Miyuki's daughter, and also the girl his predecessor had a crush on.

Kondo Miki, who was originally impatient, was stunned in place for a long time the moment she saw Natsume Chikage…

"Long time no see, Kondo-san." Natsume Chikage greeted politely.

Kondo Miki's eyes flickered, and she said hesitantly: "Mm… long time no see, Natsume-kun."

He looked dull and gloomy when she saw him before, but after a year, the change was too big.

Compared to Shankou Hakuta, who was pursuing her, he seemed to be indeed a bit more handsome…

Kondo Miki looked at the current Natsume Chikage, her thoughts surging, and finally sighed in her heart, only feeling it was a pity.

The current Natsume Chikage's grades were still poor, and he had no talent; after his family fell, he might still have some debts.

In this situation, there was basically no possibility of a comeback.

If it weren't for this, it wasn't that she couldn't give this Natsume Chikage a chance.

However, this person actually hadn't done anything to her, so it was no problem to be an ordinary friend.
