Xiao Meilang Aicheng's face immediately turned red, and she said in a somewhat fierce but inwardly weak tone.

"But I feel like your family treats you badly at all. They oppose your desire to inherit the family clinic,"

Hayakawa stared indifferently at Misaki and said calmly, "She wanted to repeat a year and was even kicked out of her home."

"Well…"

Xiao Meilang silently clutched her heart, feeling as if an arrow had pierced it. She swallowed a mouthful of blood and said in a deep voice, "I wasn't kicked out of the house; I just ran away because I was so angry."

The girl's voice was weak and lacked confidence, because she knew that her situation was no different from being kicked out of her home.

"It's pretty much the same. In my family, I only need to say something, and there's no need to worry about anyone objecting. But you'd have to fall out with your family."

Hayakawa said expressionlessly, "So this has nothing to do with whether you're an only child or not; it's just a difference in family environment."

“…junior,”

Xiao Meilang pursed her lips, looking at Hayakawa with some resentment: "Has anyone ever told you that you have a particularly sharp tongue?"

"Maybe, but that's because I always tell the truth,"

Hayakawa's lips curled slightly, a smile appearing on his face: "If you like to tell the truth, you'll always hurt some people."

"Okay, stop talking, I'm starting to feel unwell."

Xiao Meilang Aicheng covered her head, bent over in pain, and said, "You've made me start to worry again. What if I fail the exam again this time?!"

Hayakawa: "One more year."

"I don't want to!!"

……

After some back and forth between the two, the matter ended with Hayakawa being forced to agree to accompany Mimi to the mobile phone store a few days later.

"Really..."

Hayakawa stood on the bustling street, phone in hand, looking utterly annoyed. "Why do I have to go out with someone for no reason? It takes up all my time!"

Today I'm going to the movies with Nino, and in a few days I'm going to buy a phone with Misaki. Why has my wonderful school life become such a mess...?

Hayakawa felt a sharp pain in his heart, and his expression turned extremely gloomy.

"Sorry to keep you waiting!"

A sweet voice came from afar, accompanied by light footsteps. Soon after, Miss Nino, dressed in a cool black dress that revealed her fair legs, made a grand entrance.

"There was absolutely no waiting!"

Hayakawa's gloomy expression instantly turned into a friendly one, and he said with a smile, "I just arrived too."

Surface work Surface work Surface work…

Wise man! You must learn to hide yourself.

"Well, let's not delay, let's go into the movie theater."

Nino Nakano looked up at Hayakawa, her eyes crinkling with a smile: "White Vanilla, right!"

Hayakawa paused for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Okay, let's go."

The two entered the large shopping mall side by side, looking at the surrounding goods as they approached the glass elevator, where several people were already waiting.

"Well... the first floor sells jewelry, cosmetics, and women's coats; the second floor has all kinds of clothes, sports products, and model toys; and the third floor has all kinds of otaku-themed merchandise,"

Nino stood in front of the sign by the elevator door, looking at it intently. Then, she excitedly pulled Hayakawa aside and said, "There are all kinds of restaurants on the fourth floor. How about we have lunch on the fourth floor after watching the movie?"

"I don't mind,"

Hayakawa glanced at the elevator sign and then at the time: "But isn't it a bit early? It'll only be a little past ten after the movie, and it's still a long time before lunch."

"That's it,"

Nino pretended to be deep in thought, but she had already planned it in her mind. She said, "Why don't we walk around the different floors of the mall to pass the time? An hour or so will pass quickly."

"Uh…"

Hayakawa really wanted to suggest finding a study room in the building, but after thinking about it, he realized that there couldn't be such a place in the mall, so he could only nod and say, "Okay."

"Ok!"

Nino Nakano clenched her fist excitedly, then grabbed her shoulder bag with one hand and Hayakawa's sleeve with the other and walked forward.

The elevator arrived just then, and the two entered, only to be squeezed into a corner by people coming in behind them.

"..."

Hayakawa glanced at the heads of the people in front of him and found himself and Nino stuck in a corner, unable to move.

The elevator started moving, and the entire space trembled violently. Nino felt a jolt in her throat, and a feeling of dizziness arose spontaneously. She frowned slightly and couldn't help but glance at the glass wall. The huge difference in height made her heart clench, and a vague sense of fear intensified her dizziness. She subconsciously grabbed Hayakawa's arm.

This is!

Hayakawa: O_O!

The impact and sense of oppression are so familiar, and yet there's also this soft resilience...

Hayakawa was filled with emotion: Are these the five sisters? They are so similar in some ways that it's almost impossible to tell them apart.

However, Hayakawa believed that there were absolutely no two identical leaves in the world, and there were absolutely no two identical people. If you stripped them naked and put them on a bed and carefully examined them, you would be able to find the differences 100%...

wrong! !

Hayakawa bit her tongue hard, suppressing her desire.

Chapter 161 Just Headlights

What am I even thinking about?!

Women, women? I'm actually thinking about women!

Hayakawa was heartbroken and silently shed two lines of tears.

Hayakawa, Hayakawa, what have you been doing lately?! You've been entangled with women all this time. Just because she has an undeniable pair of breasts, does that make you waver in your iron will?

No!

Hayakawa gritted his teeth and his eyes turned fierce.

I am a cold-hearted person, I am a person without feelings, I am a person who has transcended base desires.

"Ah... I'm sorry, the elevator was shaking just now."

Nino held onto Hayakawa's arm, a faint blush rising on her fair, snow-white face, but she didn't let go.

"fine."

Hayakawa maintained a composed and indifferent expression, displaying the demeanor of a gentleman.

Headlights, those were a pair of headlights…

……

The elevator stopped shortly afterward. Nino finally let go of his hand, and Hayakawa finally escaped the inescapable restraint. With a sigh of relief, the two of them exited the elevator one after the other and headed towards the corner movie theater on the floor.

"Let's go buy some Coke and popcorn first, then we'll go to the movie theater,"

When they reached the front desk, Nino smiled at Hayakawa and said, "Wait for me, I'll go buy it."

"No need to buy me any more, I don't drink beverages."

Upon hearing this, Hayakawa frowned immediately and replied without hesitation that he had long ago abstained from sweet drinks and stimulating beverages that could numb the mind.

"How can you watch a movie without Coke? Wait for me, I'll be right there."

Nino took it as a polite remark, said one sentence, and walked straight toward the counter.

"..."

Hayakawa watched her retreating figure, his expression darkening slightly, before he sighed.

Never mind, I'll just not drink it then.

……

"I'm back, let's go inside."

A short while later, Nino returned with two extra-large cups of cola and an extra-large portion of popcorn, and then stuffed one of them into her own hand.

Hayakawa looked at the two large portions of food in his hands, and his face darkened even more. How much energy would he lose if he ate this?

Absolutely not touching a single bite.

The two walked through the dark passageway, handed their tickets to the staff at the ticket gate to get their ticket stubs, and then entered the dark movie theater together. There weren't many people in the theater at that time; only a few people were scattered around, and it was nothing like the packed theater that one would expect on a day off.

The two quickly found their seats and sat down.

"That's strange, there are so few of us."

Nino looked around carefully, then approached Hayakawa with some confusion: "Isn't today a day off? And 'White Vanilla' is such a popular show, why isn't the theater full?"

Hayakawa turned to look at her, and his expression immediately hardened.

The dim and quiet environment inside the movie theater created a somewhat ambiguous atmosphere. Nino's delicate and three-dimensional features were reflected in the subtle light, giving off a unique feeling. Hayakawa could smell the fragrance on her body, which exuded a faint, sweet pink scent of peonies.

"It's not seven o'clock yet, is it?"

Hayakawa's eyes flickered, and she turned her head away from her, saying calmly, "Generally speaking, the busiest time is around 7 p.m.

"That's it,"

Nino looked at the many empty seats around her and said with some regret, "Aren't these seats going to be wasted again? I've always had this question. Instead of leaving these seats empty, why not let people outside watch for free? They're just sitting there empty anyway, it doesn't cost much, and maybe it can even promote the movie theater."

"This won't work."

Hayakawa was taken aback, then shook his head: "You might as well not advertise at all."

"what?"

Nino looked at him, puzzled, and asked, "Why?"

"Imagine if movie theaters really gave away their seats for free to people outside,"

Hayakawa touched the popcorn bucket he had left in the armrest hole of his movie theater seat and asked, "And if this gets publicized, what will ordinary people care about?"

What are we promoting?

Without hesitation, Nina replied, "A good reputation, huh?"

"No,"

Hayakawa shook his head and said, "People will only notice that the movies in this movie theater are free."

Nino's eyes widened slightly, as if she had suddenly realized something, but her expression was still somewhat confused.

"Don't you understand yet?"

Hayakawa calmly said, "If this theater really does what you say, then more people will choose not to buy tickets and wait outside to watch free movies."

"How...how can there be such a person?"

Nino found it hard to believe. Coming from a well-off family, she found it difficult to imagine that there could be such a shameless person, but upon closer reflection, it seemed perfectly normal and reasonable.

"This isn't the end of it. If the cinema does this, it will cause dissatisfaction among regular ticket buyers. Why can they watch movies for free, but I have to pay to watch them?"

Hayakawa continued, "And if this kind of behavior starts, even if it stops in time, it will still be criticized by those who didn't get a free movie or didn't get enough benefit."

Nino Nakano fell silent.

"During economic crises, merchants would rather pour milk into rivers than give it away, because once it's given away for free, no one will be willing to pay for it again."

Hayakawa held up one finger and said, "When dealing with people, sometimes you have to be very gentle, but sometimes you have to be very ruthless, otherwise it will only bring greater losses."

Nakano Nino: "..."

At that moment, the big screen suddenly lit up, and the two of them, without exchanging any words, looked at the screen at the same time.

……

The movie, titled "White Vanilla," started, and Hayakawa watched until halfway through before becoming somewhat drowsy.
