Female-dominated society: A beautiful boy from the countryside near Tokyo

Chapter 74 The Room, The Name

On the sofa in the living room on the first floor.

Shimizu Yuzuki lay there, looking at LINE on her phone screen.

She placed her right hand on her forehead, her face showing regret and distress.

"How should I explain this to Shinrin?"

"It's spring break now, if she comes over to visit, she'll definitely see Xiaozhen."

Thinking of this, Shimizu Yuzuki sighed softly.

"Then Shinrin will realize she's been lying to her."

"I should have known better than to say that last night."

Shimizu Yuzuki scratched her short hair in frustration.

Thinking about her conversation with her friend Miyamoto Shinrin last night.

Xiao Zhen is clearly so outstanding and beautiful.

But why did she subconsciously not want to tell Shenling the truth?

Perhaps it was a bit late last night, causing me to feel a little dazed.

Even Shimizu Yuzuki herself didn't believe this reason.

Shimizu Yuzuki turned off her phone, the screen facing her face.

She looked at herself on the screen, her cold, beautiful eyes flickering slightly.

Shimizu Yuzuki thought of Hoshino Makoto's anime-style face.

She reached out and placed her hand on her cheek; it was a little hot.

Okay, she admits that she talked to Miyamoto Shinrin about Hoshino Makoto's appearance last night.

She neither made any typos nor appeared mentally disoriented.

Last night, when Miyamoto Shinrin asked her what Hoshino Makoto looked like.

The reason she answered that way was that she didn't want Miyamoto Shinrin to know what Hoshino Makoto looked like.

Xiao Zhen is so good-looking and can cook such delicious food.

Shimizu Yuzuki was very satisfied with her younger brother.

She was so pleased with him that she didn't want anyone else to know about her younger brother.

However, Miyamoto Shinrin is her good friend.

Now that spring break is here, if you come to find her, you'll definitely find Xiao Zhen.

Moreover, he couldn't hide Xiao Zhen away.

"I should have just told Shinrin the truth last night."

Shimizu Yuzuki rubbed her face in annoyance.

But the next moment, her beautiful eyes lit up.

Shimizu Yuzuki seemed to have thought of something.

"Wait a minute, even though we're on spring break now..."

"But I'm not only a college student, I'm also an employee of my aunt's company."

"If I were working at the company during spring break, and if Shinrin were looking for me, she wouldn't come to my house."

Tokyo's spring break begins in mid-March and lasts until early April.

However, the Spring Festival break is mainly a student holiday, not a holiday for everyone.

Of course, in Tokyo, the law allows employees to take a day off.

That is, today, in mid-March.

This is also why Shimizu Yuzuki didn't go to work today because the company is closed.

Shimizu Yuzuki hadn't originally planned to go to the company during the spring break.

After all, she hasn't graduated from university yet and hasn't actually started working.

But now, Shimizu Yuzuki stroked her chin, pondering slightly.

Just then, the notification sound for the door to open came from inside.

Shimizu Yuzuki, who was lying on the sofa, got up.

She checked the time; it wasn't even six o'clock yet.

"My aunt has a meeting and is negotiating a contract today; she shouldn't be back until tonight."

"My younger sister is on spring break today, so she's the only one who's back so early."

Under Shimizu Yuzuki's gaze, two figures appeared from around the corner of the entrance hall.

"Xiao Ai, Mei Ji?"

Shimizu Yuzuki first saw her younger sister, Shimizu Ai.

Then I saw the girl next to Shimizu Ai.

Akizuki Miki was carrying a handbag.

She was wearing a light green school uniform.

She looked at Shimizu Yuzuki with a polite smile on her face.

"Good afternoon, Yuzuki-nee."

Akizuki Miki and Shimizu Ai are good friends.

This wasn't her first time visiting the villa.

Apart from Shimizu Rin, Akizuki Miki knows all the others.

"Big sister, let's go upstairs first."

After informing Shimizu Yuzuki.

Shimizu Ai pulled Akizuki Miki up to the second floor.

. . . . . .

"Xiao Ai, is there anything to eat? I'm a little hungry."

As soon as she entered Shimizu Ai's room, Akizuki Miki returned to her original state.

The politeness she displayed when facing Shimizu Yuzuki on the first floor vanished instantly.

She took off her shoes and sat down on Shimizu Ai's bed with practiced ease.

Shimizu Ai was already used to this, so she took out a few bottles of drinks and snacks and threw them on the bed.

"You eat first, I have something to take care of."

"What's wrong?"

Akizuki Miki looked puzzled.

I just got home from school, shouldn't I rest properly first?

Shimizu Ai didn't answer. She went to the computer, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

Shimizu Ai skillfully turned on her computer and opened the video editing software.

Seeing this, Akizuki Miki became interested and immediately went to Shimizu Ai's side.

"Xiao Ai, I know you have an online account, but you're being way too diligent."

"I just got back and started editing the video."

Akizuki Miki looked at Shimizu Ai's actions with some surprise.

"It's not for me to cut, it's for my younger brother."

"Your younger brother, is that the boy?"

Upon hearing Shimizu Ai's words, Akizuki Miki instantly thought of that boy.

The image of the boy's strikingly pale face and his eyes, which made one want to pity him, flashed through my mind.

"That's right, it's Xiao Zhen."

Shimizu Ai nodded; she had no intention of hiding this from her friend.

After all, she'll probably see Xiaozhen's video once it's posted online.

"Xiao Zhen, is his name Xiao Zhen?"

Akizuki Miki grasped the key point.

This was the first time she had heard Shimizu Ai mention her younger brother's name.

"Of course not, his name is Hoshino Makoto."

When Akizuki Miki learned the boy's name, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Her beautiful eyes sparkled, as if she had thought of something.

"Xiao Ai, I have a question for you."

"Ask away."

"Can I call your younger brother Xiao Zhen?"

Shimizu Ai's right hand, which was sliding the mouse, stopped.

Upon hearing Akizuki Miki's words, she bit her lip.

At that moment, Shimizu Ai suddenly felt a pang of regret.

I should have known better than to tell Miki about Shin.

Akizuki Miki seemed oblivious to Shimizu Ai's expression.

"Xiao Ai, what do you think? I should be able to do it too."

Can Akizuki Miki do it? Of course she can.

Whether considering her relationship with Ai Shimizu or their age difference.

Between Hoshino Makoto and Akizuki Miki.

It's perfectly fine for Akizuki Miki to call Hoshino Makoto that.

Shimizu Ai was naturally aware of this as well, when faced with her friend Miki's question.

She nodded, her voice completely normal.

"Of course you can call Shin-chan that, Miki."

Mei-ki and I are so close, and Xiao-zhen is my younger brother.

There's absolutely no problem with Miki calling Shin-chan that.

But why do I feel so uncomfortable?

My older sister and aunt both call Xiao Zhen that.

I didn't feel anything unusual at all.

But why does it make me feel uncomfortable when Miki calls me that?

Could it be that editing Xiaozhen's videos has been too much of a hassle lately, causing too much stress?

Yes, absolutely.

(Sorry, my hands are too cold because of the temperature drop. I'll use hand warmers tomorrow and refill them then.)
