After a few minutes.

Takoyaki is ready in no time.

"Goodbye uncle."

Furuhashi paid the bill, waved at Uncle Takoyaki, turned and walked under the umbrella, leaving with Naoki.

"Asakawa-san, don't worry about it." Furuhashi looked at Naoki and explained. "I've been eating takoyaki here since elementary school, and uncle has always had a more righteous temper, so he would say that because he was worried."

"Uncle is right." Naoki said firmly, "I'm the type of guy who likes to lie to people with sweet words."

"sigh-"

Furuhashi was dumbfounded, as if she heard an unbelievable joke, and finally she couldn't help but laugh.

"...Why are you laughing?"

Naoki looked confused.

"Because it's so funny." Furuhashi turned his head, the corners of his eyes filled with a smile, "Asakawa-san doesn't know how to speak sweet words, right?"

Laughing so happily, it actually underestimated me!

"Then I really want to talk about it."

Naoki wore a serious expression.

Furuhashi was curious to communicate.

Naoki pondered for a few seconds, then said solemnly, "Furuhashi is heaven."

"Sorry, I do not understand."

"Furuhashi is the world?"

"I'm not happy, I feel offended."

After eating the takoyaki, she walked forward while speaking. After a while, Furuhashi stretched out his hand and pointed forward:

"This is my house in front."

Naoki looked up, and a luxurious villa appeared in his eyes, but it looked a little wrong.

"So everyone is right."

"Eh? Tell me what?"

Naoki said slowly:

"You are indeed Ojou-sama from a rich family."

"What, it's my father's money, and it has nothing to do with me." Furuhashi said seriously, "I already made up my mind, when I left. To college, I will move immediately, and then work to earn money and become independent."

Walking to the villa, Naoki finally realized something was wrong.

No lights.

Except for the street lamp in front of the villa, the entire villa is dark, and there are no lights on anywhere.

Have you slept?

Or is no one home?

Seemingly aware of Naoki's doubts, Furuhashi explained:

"Just me and my dad at home… Dad is very busy with work, he often comes home late, and sometimes even lives outside… I'm used to it."

"Please stop here." Furuhashi with a smile on his face, and said softly, "It just so happened that the rain stopped, Asakawa-san, hurry home."

As soon as he finished speaking, Naoki suddenly grabbed Furuhashi's right hand.

"Eh, Asakawa-san?"

Furuhashi turned his head in surprise.

"There's someone there."

Naoki said with a serious expression.

Furuhashi was surprised, and hurriedly followed Naoki's gaze, and immediately saw a dark red light flickering in the darkness.

Furuhashi held his breath nervously: "That red light…"

Naoki said earnestly:

"Someone's smoking."

In the middle of the night, someone hid outside Furuhashi's house and smoked, no matter how one looked at it, she was not a good person.

However Furuhashi is still an Ojou-sama from a wealthy family, and Naoki already has a plan to kidnap and blackmail Ojou-sama in his mind. If such a thing happened... Maybe he would go on a rampage and kill.

Not sure.

Yes of course.

If someone did such a thing to Furuhashi, Naoki would never forgive it.

Naoki grabbed Furuhashi and backed away silently. The enemy is in darkness, and I am in the light. Only idiots would rush.

Of course the right way would be to ensure safety first, then go back alone to find out what this guy wants to do.

"Let's go first."

Naoki said.

"Um."

Furuhashi nodded nervously.

However after only taking two steps, a volatile red dot in the darkness suddenly fell to the ground and annihilated, followed by a middle-aged man with a beard and a decadent face.

Furuhashi suddenly stopped, opened his eyes wide, and said:

"Dad?!"

Naoki: "..."

Damn it! Just now I thought of coming back later to force a confession, but I didn't expect it to be Furuhashi's father!

"Dad, what are you doing hiding there when you come home?"

Furuhashi frowned slightly.

Furuhashi's father's expression was calm, his eyes fell on the hands that Furuhashi and Naoki were holding, and his tone was cold:

"I just came back, I'm a little tired, and smoked."

Naoki let go of Furuhashi's right hand and greeted: "Uncle, good night."

Furuhashi blushed, quickly put his hands behind his back, and explained, "I found something today, it was raining and I forgot to bring my umbrella, so I asked Asakawa-san to bring me back…"

Before she could finish speaking, Furuhashi's father had withdrawn his gaze, turned around and entered the house in silence, as if he didn't care about the reason why his daughter didn't come home at night.

Furuhashi lowered his head, the shadow of his bangs covered his eyes, and after a few seconds, she whispered:

"Asakawa-san, will you go home first?"

Naoki did not speak without permission, but nodded lightly: "See you tomorrow."

Every family has its own problems.

It seems that even the carefree Furuhashi, life is not exactly carefree.

"See you tomorrow." Furuhashi tried to adjust his mood, "Go home early and don't linger on the road."

"Know."

"Don't forget to text me when you get home."

Are you a housekeeper! Little things like this don't need to be told!

Naoki waved his hand and turned to leave.

After walking a few steps, seeing Furuhashi walking into the villa with his head down, Naoki suddenly moved his heart, turned back to where Furuhashi's father had smoked earlier, glanced and then left.

....

20 minutes later.

Naoki returned to the apartment, exactly at 10 pm.

After entering the bathroom and taking a shower, Naoki took out his cell phone and sent a message to Furuhashi.

"I am at home."

"Asakawa-san is so slow." Furuhashi answered quickly, "It's been a long time no news, I thought you were lost."

"I've showered and drank milk."

"Asakawa-san has worked hard today. I'll invite you to dinner tomorrow."

Furuhashi sent many messages in quick succession, as if she had returned to his usual cheerfulness and optimism.

Naoki hesitated for a moment, and sent a message.

"Did you explain what happened today to your father?"

Furuhashi on the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Furuhashi: "No need to explain... Even if I don't come home at night, he won't care about me."

It was as expected.

The father-son relationship of the Furuhashi family seems rather indifferent.

Naoki calmly said:

"After you entered the door earlier, I went to the corner where your father smoked to take a look."

"Eh?"

"There are a lot of cigarette butts on the ground, your father must have been squatting for a long time."
