"Hmm?""Shizuka?""Driver, stop!"Yukinoshita Haruno was on her way home.The company was a bit busy today, and she worked a little overtime.But as she passed an izakaya, she unexpectedly saw a familiar back.And there was a man helping her.At first glance, she recognized that the woman was her good friend, Hiratsuka Shizuka.The outfit she was wearing today was specially chosen for her by Yukinoshita Haruno.Didn't Shizuka say she was going on a blind date?Why would she be at an izakaya?Could it be that the blind date didn't go well, and she came to the izakaya to vent?And then she got drunk?And then the man next to her was taking advantage of her?An alarm went off in Yukinoshita Haruno's mind, and she immediately told the driver to stop.The driver heard her and stepped on the brakes.Yukinoshita Haruno hurriedly pushed open the car door and rushed towards the two.Before she even reached them, Yukinoshita Haruno impatiently shouted."Take your dirty hands off Shizuka!"Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was originally groggy, was sobered up quite a bit by the shout, and she turned her head and said in surprise."Haruno?""Why are you here?"Noticing that Hiratsuka Shizuka was still conscious, Yukinoshita Haruno was stunned.She realized that she seemed to have caused trouble with good intentions.That man was not taking advantage of her.It wasn't until this moment that Bai Yu turned his head to look.Looking at Bai Yu's youthful face, Yukinoshita Haruno's lips twitched fiercely.How could someone this young do such a thing!What was she thinking!Yukinoshita Haruno awkwardly scratched her cheek and explained."Uh, I just happened to be passing by and noticed you, so..."It was too embarrassing.She should have pretended not to see them."You thought I was being taken advantage of?""Hahahahaha!"Hiratsuka Shizuka slapped Bai Tianyu's shoulder very casually and burst into laughter, looking up at the sky.This made Yukinoshita Haruno's face flush.There was nothing she could do; she had indeed misunderstood.But she couldn't be blamed, could she? Who wouldn't misunderstand when seeing the backs of these two?"Is this your blind date?""He's quite young."Seeing that Hiratsuka Shizuka still wanted to continue mocking her, Yukinoshita Haruno quickly interrupted.She looked at Bai Yu and extended her hand."I'm sorry, I misunderstood you.""I am Yukinoshita Haruno, her good friend."Hiratsuka Shizuka was about to explain, but Bai Yu directly took Yukinoshita Haruno's soft, jade-like hand."Hello, Miss Yukinoshita, I am Bai Yu.""I am Shizuka's boyfriend!"Hiratsuka Shizuka's face flushed, and her jade-like hand involuntarily reached Bai Yu's waist.A twist!Bai Yu frowned, enduring the pain to maintain his smile."Hmm?""Shizuka has a boyfriend?""Why didn't you tell me?"Yukinoshita Haruno was stunned. When did this happen?How could her good friend not know?Yukinoshita Haruno looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka, hoping for an explanation.
Why do I feel like everything that happened tonight is so surreal?First, I thought Hiratsuka Shizuka had been drugged and taken advantage of.Then I found out it wasn't like that at all.Now Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly has a boyfriend?What is all this!And doesn't Shizuka like older men?How could she have a younger brother type.Bai Yu's age is probably just right to be Hiratsuka Shizuka's younger brother.What is this?An older woman preying on a younger man, keeping the good stuff within the family?These two phrases inexplicably popped into Yukinoshita Haruno's mind."Cough, cough…"Hiratsuka Shizuka coughed, not knowing how to explain.She could only nudge Bai Yu next to her.Bai Yu quickly spoke up."We just made it official today.""I met Shizuka in a restaurant; she was so cool when she splashed water on that creepy guy from the blind date, it was really awesome.""I fell in love with Shizuka at first sight.""Afterward, I invited her to dinner, and she brought me here.""Then we had a drinking contest, she lost, and agreed to be my girlfriend.""I was just about to take her home."This explanation dispelled many of Yukinoshita Haruno's doubts.She gave her good friend an annoyed look.She went out drinking without telling her, so she could have come to pick her up.As for Bai Yu's later words, Yukinoshita Haruno directly took them as a joke.Bets made while drinking don't count.But looking at Shizuka and Bai Yu's interaction just now, it was like playful flirting.She had a feeling these two had something going on.Maybe she should help them along.Hiratsuka Shizuka was no longer young.Although Bai Yu was a bit younger, since he liked Hiratsuka Shizuka, spending some time together wasn't out of the question."Shizuka, what are you too embarrassed to say?""It's just a lost bet.""Well, I'm leaving. I wish you both a pleasant evening."Having decided to play matchmaker, Yukinoshita Haruno walked straight to her car without another word."What?""Haruno, aren't you supposed to take me home!"Hiratsuka Shizuka was stunned; she had just wanted to leave with Yukinoshita Haruno, so she could get rid of Bai Yu, this sticky nuisance.And she wouldn't have to reveal her address.But Yukinoshita Haruno pulled this move, completely throwing her off.Are you still my good friend?Yukinoshita Haruno gave Bai Yu an apologetic smile.She turned back, pulled Hiratsuka Shizuka aside, and earnestly advised her."Shizuka, you're not getting any younger.""You met such a fresh young man to your liking today, what are you still picking and choosing for?""I…""So what if he's a little younger? Youth has its advantages.""Anyway, that's how it is. Seize the opportunity and get him!""When you two get married someday, send me an invitation!"Yukinoshita Haruno didn't give Hiratsuka Shizuka a chance to speak, rattling off a long string of words.As she left, she even waved to Bai Yu."Shizuka is in your hands now.""Take good care of her!"Seeing this, Bai Yu revealed a knowing smile.He promised."Yes, I will definitely take good care of Shizuka.""Please rest assured!"
