We entered a café near the station building, placed our order, and I headed straight to the smoking room. Through the glass, I could see Tsubaki drinking tea. She was as expressionless as ever. ...Well, she's alone, so it's natural to be expressionless. There's nothing disappointing about that. Still, I want her to smile as much as possible. Even though she refused, maybe ordering a cake might soften her expression a bit? ...What am I thinking? With a deep sigh, I exhaled the menthol-scented…

After having a light meal at the café, I had another smoke and then returned home. After that, everything was as usual. While I lounged on the sofa, Tsubaki quietly continued studying beside me. When dinner time came, Tsubaki prepared the meal, and we ate together, engaging in a bit of conversation. The night grew late, and it was now 10:00 PM. This was the time Tsubaki always went to bed. "Well, I'm heading back to my room. Sleep whenever you like." "Yes, thank you." Tsubaki bowed deeply, then…

This morning, Tsubaki and I ate the breakfast she prepared in silence. After the meal, Tsubaki, as usual, spread out her workbooks and reference materials on the table and started studying. Occasionally glancing at her while fiddling with my smartphone, I saw that she was continuing her studies without changing her expression. ...It seemed like she had no interest in anything other than studying. Even so, she enjoyed the movie yesterday, so maybe she was forcing herself. Though perhaps it's not…

A week has passed since Tsubaki came here. Tsubaki spends most of her time studying in the living room. When she’s not studying, she helps with housework and shopping, saying it’s her way of thanking me for letting her stay. As a result, she hasn’t been a hindrance to my work, just as I had initially warned. Today, too, Tsubaki is sitting across from me, dressed in her uniform, studying with an unchanged expression while I idly fiddle with my smartphone. Although I was the one who suggested it,…

--Ringing, ringing, ringing What’s that… is it morning already…? When I woke up, the bedroom was dim. I couldn’t hear the rain, but it didn’t seem like a clear day. It was 8:00 AM. I was still sleepy, but I decided to get up. Even though it was Sunday, I didn’t want to mess up my sleep schedule. Stretching as I got out of bed, I reached for the cigarette on the sideboard. Lighting it and taking a deep drag, the damp smoke filled my mouth. It still tasted bad, but it was better than…

After that, without much conversation, noon arrived. Lunch was prepared by Tsubaki. It seemed to be a gesture of thanks for breakfast. I didn't think I made anything worth thanking, but it was nice not to have to make lunch myself. Watching her back as she stood in the kitchen, I recalled the events of the morning. Tsubaki had spent the entire morning with perfect posture, silently working through problem sets. I had studied with Mayuko a few times, and she was always fidgety, frowning at difficult…

From outside the window, the sound of unexpected heavy rain could be heard. I don't particularly like summer rain. It makes me recall unpleasant memories and brings my spirits down. Immersed in sentimentality, I sank into the living room sofa and inhaled the menthol cigarette smoke. It seemed to taste worse than usual, probably because of the humidity. Ding-dong. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Is it a delivery? I don’t remember expecting any package deliveries on a Saturday evening. Putting out the…

Chapter 183: The Legendary Honey Trap After settling Tina in, Ye Xiao took Shen Yunchu back to the company. Watching the two walk away, Tina couldn’t help but smile. She had thought it was just her being one-sidedly interested, but it seemed the relationship between that little assistant and Ye wasn't so simple after all. As a woman herself, besides work, what she was best at was judging whether another woman was suitable as her target—whether the other party was also “like her.” “Xiao Xiao,…-

Chapter 180: Deep Love Never Retains, Only Strategy Captures the Heart! Lu Shiqing’s domineering words just now sparked a wave of murmuring among the bystanders. A thousand yuan wasn’t an enormous amount, but for most wage earners, it was still equivalent to a week’s salary. “What, just waving a few lousy bucks around? What’s so great about that?” A girl adjusted her glasses with a sneer in her voice. She harbored resentment toward the wealthy, especially those who flaunted money to solve…
