Chapter 399 Extra: Riho Morikawa's Request
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zeshan Haruno pushed open the door of the cafe, and the wind chimes hanging on the eaves of the door suddenly made a clear and pleasant sound.
The waiter at the front desk who was helping with the order said to him very politely, "Welcome."
As an old customer, Sawayama Haruno naturally didn't need to look at the items on the menu. He casually ordered the drink he wanted. After paying the bill and getting the receipt, his eyes scanned the store and soon fell on a woman in a thin coat in the corner.
The other person was wearing a brown thin coat today, with a white striped sweater underneath. This kind of sweater is usually tight-fitting and can well show off a woman's graceful figure.
Morikawa Riho, who has an impressive capital, looks extremely slim in a tight sweater.
When sitting on the sofa, the pair of towering snow-capped peaks naturally "sit" on the wooden dining table, and the abundant fruits make people swallow their saliva when they see them.
Her figure is comparable to that of a succubus. Even though he is used to seeing the stunning woman Haruno Sawayama, it is hard to deny that Riho Morikawa may be the most outstanding woman he has ever seen in terms of figure. She is like an almost ripe peach, and no one has ever picked her.
Among the five girls he is currently dating, the one with the best figure is Suguha Ezaki, but she is still quite far behind Riho Morikawa.
On the one hand, it is because Morikawa Riho is indeed "gifted", and on the other hand, it is because Esaki Suguha has not yet reached the age of a "mature woman", and of course she cannot compare with Morikawa Riho in terms of maturity and sexiness.
However, it cannot be said that Suguha Ezaki is completely inferior to the other. It can only be said that they each have their own characteristics. The style of a young mature woman like Riho Morikawa may also be crazily sought after by other people with unique hobbies.
At least if you let Sawayama Haruno choose, he will definitely not be able to find any faults.
“Finally here”
While she was daydreaming, Morikawa Riho had already noticed Sawayama Haruno. After she waved her hand and called him over, the young woman couldn't help but start complaining.
"Why did it take so long to get here? Didn't you buy a car? Why did you take the tram?"
"I want to drive over here too." Zeshan Haruno sat across from her and said seriously, "But it's rare that you took the initiative to ask me out, how can we not eat out tonight?"
"If we eat outside, won't we be caught in the evening rush hour? The traffic will be terrible then. I might as well just take the train."
"You bastard." Riho Morikawa glared at him.
He's been thinking about how to get his meals for free all day long. The same thing happened when he got promoted a while ago. This guy actually asked me to take him to Ginza to eat high-end food.
That meal cost Morikawa Riho a lot of money, which made her feel very painful for a while, but fortunately, this time she finally had the chance to get back the favor of "treating" her before.
"Eating is a small matter. As long as you agree to one request of mine, I will take care of your meals for the next few days. How about that?"
"not so good."
Sawayama Haruno said very honestly: "It must be very difficult for you to say such a thing. I just finished writing "Kafka on the Shore" not long ago. I plan to take a break during this period, and then find an opportunity to go out for a trip with my family."
"I'm not asking you to write your third book right now!"
Morikawa Riho's eyes widened, and she said unhappily, "As for the travel issue, didn't you say that we have to wait until the Golden Week to go? There are several people in your family, including you, who have to go to school, right?"
"Sometimes I just go on a whim." Sawayama Haruno spread his hands, looking very innocent.
"Just tell me whether you will help or not?" Morikawa Riho was so angry that she rolled her eyes and said impatiently, "It has something to do with my family. You've heard that my family has been urging me to go on blind dates, right?"
In the next five minutes, Morikawa Riho told Sawayama Haruno all of her plans. However, after listening to it, Sawayama Haruno unexpectedly did not rush to agree, but showed a thoughtful expression.
"What's wrong? You're not going to help with such a small favor, are you?"
Morikawa Riho's tone gradually became dissatisfied. She had been running around for a long time to buy a house for Sawayama Haruno and take wedding photos.
Moreover, Sawayama Haruno had just won the Akutagawa Prize, and his new work was released some time ago. During this period, Sawayama Haruno can be said to have very little free time, and he didn't even have to go to school.
If the other party dares to reject her now, she will punch him immediately to let him know that he should never owe a favor to an "older woman"!
"It's not that I won't help, I'm just thinking about how to help."
Noticing Morikawa Riho's unhappy expression, Sawayama Haruno shook his head and explained, "It's not that easy. What if your family is really desperate and asks us to choose a date to get the marriage certificate?"
"Besides that, how are you going to explain our situation to your family? Just talking on the phone won't work, right? You might have to go home or ask your family to come over. In short, we still have to think long and hard."
Sawayama Haruno's tone was very sincere because he also wanted to help Morikawa Riho.
During the past year that he has served as my editor, he has provided me with a lot of help.
Recently, Sawayama Haruno's second book "Kafka on the Shore" has also been a big hit, and this is inseparable from the great help of editor Riho Morikawa, who used most of the publicity resources on her new work and created a lot of hype.
It can be said that the two of them are the type who achieve mutual success. If it weren't for Riho Morikawa, Haruno Sawayama's literary career would not have progressed so smoothly.
Therefore, after hearing the other party's request, he did not consider whether to refuse, but was just thinking about how to help the other party "cheat his family."
".You guys, what you said makes sense."
Morikawa Riho stared at him with a somewhat suspicious look, and then confirmed again: "So you mean you agree?"
"Of course I agree." Zeshan Haruno supported his chin with his hand and said with a smile, "Just don't delay it too long. It's best to solve it in the next few days, but I will remind you in advance."
"Since we are pretending to be your boyfriend, we may have some intimate behavior in order to prove our relationship in front of your family. Ms. Morikawa, please don't tell Shiori about it then."
He knew that Mine Shiori had been secretly wary of Morikawa Riho, and it seemed that Miyazawa Maki had told her something.
In fact, Morikawa Riho also wanted to show that she was just a work relationship with Shiori Mine, although it was not clear what she was thinking, at least on the surface it was like this.
But no matter what, even if there is a possibility of being "jointly denounced" by the five girls in the family, Sawayama Haruno does not intend to turn a blind eye to Morikawa Riho's situation.
After all, the other party has taken the initiative to come to me and ask for help, which means that the situation must have become very "serious".
They are all adults now, not children playing house and looking for someone to play the role of their "boyfriend". Since Morikawa Riho came to him, she must have been adequately prepared, so Sawayama Haruno is not too worried.
However, what Sawayama Haruno failed to notice was that after hearing what he said, Morikawa Riho was obviously stunned for a moment, and her expression became a little hesitant.
".I know even if you don't tell me. I'm just helping to deceive my family."
Riho Morikawa paused for a moment, then unconsciously rubbed her fingers back and forth on the handle of the coffee cup.
After a strange silence of two and a half seconds, she looked up and added, "Then it's settled."
"I'll tell you what to do later. After all, I also need to communicate with my family in advance and give them some 'vaccinations' or something."
