Chapter 345

It seems like Nijika has suddenly become much more compliant?

Ishikawa Hayato was puzzled, but said nothing. Instead, he pointed to the coffee shop to indicate that we wanted to go in.

Nijika nodded, but wisely didn't move, quietly following Ishikawa Hayato.

A few seconds later, Ishikawa Hayato saw someone open the coffee shop door. He tugged at Nijika's hand and quickly followed.

The two walked around in circles and came to a booth. Ishikawa Hayato hurriedly pushed Nijika inside. Nijika didn't understand why, but she quickly sat down.

After sitting down and taking off her coat, she couldn't help but speak.

"S..."

Ishikawa Hayato knew exactly what Nijika would do, and as expected, he reached out and covered her mouth, then pointed to the booth next to them.

What's going on?

Nijika blinked in confusion, but remained motionless because Ishikawa Hayato was still covering her mouth.

Until I heard a troubled voice.

"Do we really have to meet Hayato-kun's parents under these circumstances?"

Ikuyo's voice! Nijika's eyes widened in surprise.

They're right next door? How did she and Falcon manage to sneak over here so quietly?!

Then came a cool sound, followed by a slight slurping sound as if someone was drinking water.

"Otherwise, our surveillance might be exposed."

Then came Hitori.

"Um... I forgot something at the hotel..."

"Ichiri-chan, stop lying to me now..."

The three continued talking, and as they spoke, Ishikawa Hayato had already withdrawn his hand.

Finally, unable to contain her doubts, Nijika leaned closer to Ishikawa Hayato and whispered in his ear.

"How did Hayato-kun manage to get them to obediently come and meet the other people?"

She knew how awkward it would be to meet under these circumstances.

It's fortunate she wasn't there.

Ishikawa Hayato had intended to communicate via phone, but feeling the warmth emanating from Nijika, the faint fragrance wafting from her after she took off her coat, and her soft voice whispering in his ear, he abandoned that pointless idea.

He leaned close to Nijika's ear and whispered against her delicate earlobe.

"I simply reminded them on Line that I was planning to arrange a meeting with the people who were stalking me, and I even secretly took a picture of all of them."

Ishikawa Hayato's low voice reached Nijika's ears at very close range, accompanied by his warm breath. Nijika trembled at the slight stimulation to her ears, and her face flushed even more.

So much so that I almost didn't hear what Ishikawa Hayato said.

She felt a little uneasy about this sudden discovery, yet also a sense of anticipation, as if she had finally awakened to something.

She leaned closer to Ishikawa Hayato's ear and asked again.

"What about your family, including your sisters?"

I told them I was waiting for them in this coffee shop.

Another whispered exchange ensued. This time, Nijika lowered her head, pretending to be deep in thought, but her legs were slightly together.

But her embarrassment was quickly relieved by the waiter.

Would you like to order?

"A macchiato and a macaron, please," Ishikawa Hayato said without even looking at the menu.

Nijika looked at him in surprise because he had made a completely different sound than usual. She narrowed her eyes with a strange expression.

The more you get to know Ishikawa Hayato, the more strange and unusual things you seem to know.

Nijika took the menu from the waiter, flipped through it, and then pointed to the mocha for Ishikawa Hayato to see.

Ishikawa Hayato said, "Another mocha, please."

The three people in the next booth didn't seem to notice anyone coming into their booth. Only Liang noticed something and glanced back, but didn't investigate further.

Not long after the waiter left, Ishikawa Hayato heard several familiar footsteps approaching and laughed.

Nijika then remembered to use her phone, and she typed something on the screen.

"Who's here?"

Ishikawa Hayato regretfully took out his phone and typed on the screen.

"My family."

"Hayato-kun is so mean, playing tricks on his family and still enjoying it."

"You should be unapologetic when teasing your family members; that's how you maintain joy and camaraderie."

"So you're not going to play tricks on us again, are you?"

While the two were chatting, the Ishikawa family had already entered the coffee shop.

"That kid Hayabusa really let us meet at this time."

Ishikawa Jinpei's gaze swept quickly across each booth, but the guilty conscience in his tone betrayed his unease.

"I already told you not to come."

Xiang felt he was about to lose face in front of his sister-in-law, and said awkwardly.

"It was Hayabusa who called us over, there's nothing to be nervous about," Ishikawa Shizuka reassured the two.

"Hmm..." Xiang glanced at his mother and reluctantly agreed.

The three continued walking inside, searching for Ishikawa Hayato.

However, what they saw was Liang raising his hand.

"Here."

Although Ishikawa Jinpei and Ishikawa Shizuka had only met Ryo once, they remembered her vividly because she was the first female friend their son had brought home, and immediately recognized her.

Xiang waved and greeted them cheerfully.

"Sister Liang."

The Ishikawa family walked over to the booth of the Ryou team and sat down opposite them.

Meanwhile, in the next booth...

Nijika, her cheeks slightly flushed, leaned to the side on her seat, with Ishikawa Hayato pressing down on her. The two of them stayed close together to avoid being seen by Ishikawa Hayato's family.

However, Ishikawa Hayato didn't put all his weight on Nijika. He held onto the wall with one hand and wrapped his other arm around Nijika's waist to prevent her from falling and getting hurt.

At this moment, Nijika was wearing a knitted sweater and a skirt. She was lying on her side on the chair, her weak gaze filled with unease.

The close-fitting and soft clothing had a cozy, homey feel to it, as if tempting Ishikawa Hayato to do something.

However, Ishikawa Hayato restrained himself and gently pinched her waist, feeling the girl's soft body.

Under this oppressive situation, Nijika's face gradually turned red due to an inexplicable sense of unease and restlessness. Ishikawa Hayato's breath and the warmth of his hands made her feel strange.

"Don't hug me..."

Nijika awkwardly twisted her body slightly and leaned against Ishikawa Hayato's head, saying, "However, the small space makes it inconvenient to move around."

Ishikawa Hayato leaned closer to her and whispered in Nijika's ear.

"Hey, isn't this a normal hug?"

"It just feels weird, Hayato-kun, don't ask!"

After the conversation, Nijika's face turned even redder. She shifted her position, pressing down on her skirt, which hadn't billowed up at all, and said...

In fact, Ishikawa Hayato knew why Nijika was acting this way all of a sudden, since he now knew everything about that area.

She gradually became aroused in that area after being teased, which made her more sensitive both physically and mentally.

But Ishikawa Hayato doesn't know the reason. After all, when it comes to feelings, sometimes you just need to be in the right place and make the right actions and expressions to be liked.

However, he didn't dare to provoke Nijika too much, as it would frighten her, since she was still completely unaware of these feelings.

After embracing quietly for a while, Ishikawa Hayato heard his family members sit down next to him, and Ryo spoke first.

"Hello, Uncle and Aunt, I'm Hayabusa's girlfriend, Yamada Ryo."

"Hello."

Compared to Ishikawa Jinpei's natural and unpretentious coolness, his reply seemed rather unnatural.

Ishikawa Hayato could almost picture the reproachful looks his mother and sister gave their father at home, and the admiring glances Hitori and Ikuyo Ryo.

Nijika looked at Ishikawa Hayato, followed his gaze, listened to the sounds beside her, and her attention also shifted in that direction. The radiant look on her face returned to normal.

Liang continued speaking, but this time, her words made the three people opposite her tremble, and the entire conversation fell silent.

"Were you tracking a falcon just now?"

Ishikawa Hayato was struggling to suppress his laughter next door, while Nijika looked at him with disdain and nudged him, indicating that the crisis was over and he shouldn't press down on her anymore.

Ishikawa Hayato sat up, and the two of them sat up straight in their chairs again.

Ishikawa Jinpei immediately denied it. "No, no, no, how could that be? We just happened to be passing by and saw it."

Ryo didn't embarrass Ishikawa Hayato's family by casually ending the conversation.

"I see."

Two seconds later, Ishikawa Shizuka finally spoke.

"I heard Hibiki mention before that all three of you are Hayato's girlfriends, is that right?"

As the people in the next booth emerged from their awkward silence and began chatting about everyday things, Ishikawa Hayato and Nijika were also exchanging messages via text on their phones.

Nijika: "Hayato-kun, you're laughing so happily even though your own family members were tricked by Ryo?"

Ishikawa Hayato: "Who told them to come and follow me? And it's okay to tease them a little."

Nijika: "Ryo and the others are following them too, aren't they?"

Ishikawa Hayato: "Going back to bully (heart emoji)"

Nijika: "You're being indecent!"

The two typed what they wanted to say on their phones and chatted for a while before the waiter brought over the coffee.

Just as Nijika was about to pick up her coffee to drink, Ishikawa Hayato Jun stopped her and pointed to the next table.

Nijika immediately realized what was happening, released her coffee and slumped into her chair, with Ishikawa Hayato immediately leaning back as well.

This time, Nijika learned her lesson. As soon as she lay down, she closed her eyes, covered her face with one hand, and rested the other on Ishikawa Hayato's chest.

Even when Ishikawa Hayato teased her by touching her slender waist a few times, she didn't utter a sound.

Meanwhile, the conversation next door gradually shifted from initial pleasantries to some current doubts.

After chatting for a while, Ishikawa Shizuka glanced towards the restroom and asked.

"By the way, Falcon said he was here too, where is he now?"

Liang was taken aback, but didn't answer, instead asking a somewhat impolite question in return.

"Did Falcon say that?"

"Yes." Ishikawa Shizuka nodded in surprise.

As Ryo glanced back, Hitori honestly picked up the conversation, replying, "No, we weren't with Hayabusa today."

Next door, Ishikawa Hayato realized something was wrong, quickly took out his phone and put it on silent, and even reached into Nijika's skirt pocket to get his phone.

Nijika opened one eye only when she heard other noises. When she saw Ishikawa Hayato reaching for her skirt pocket, she quickly pulled his hand away and put her phone on silent.

A few seconds after I finished doing all this, my phone vibrated.

Ishikawa Hayato picked up his phone to look at it.

Liang: "You're next door, right?"
