Chapter 087: Thick Skin

When Masayoshi Kishimoto arrived home, he saw that no one was home. He set down his luggage in the living room and looked up towards the wall clock. Above this hour, Sakai Rie should be in school.

Masayoshi Kishimoto found out the thick feasibility analysis report on the three districts of Gangnam in Seoul that Ryui Miyazaki had and took it in his hand, then turned around and sat down on the long sofa in the living room to read through it.

He was so absorbed in what he was reading that he didn’t feel the rapid passage of time at all. He didn’t even hear the sound of Rie Sakai opening the front door and entering the house.

Sakai Rie was surprised to see him sitting on the long sofa as soon as she walked into the living room. She hadn’t expected him to come back just like that.

“You’re at home, you’re out of breath! I was so startled that I mistook it for a burglar. Before you come back, could you call back to tell me in advance?” Sakai Rie said as she started her daily dislike pattern with him.

Kishimoto Masayoshi placed the unfinished report in his hand to the side, looked at her not far away with his head hanging down, and laughed happily, “What? Afraid I’ll come home to catch you in the act!”

Sakai Rie didn’t hesitate and directly threw him a big blank stare and said, “Do you think I’m someone you’re that good at messing around with? Your trip to Seoul shouldn’t have delayed you from finding other women to fool around with, right?”

“Didn’t look, really didn’t. From time to time, there is your silhouette inside my head. See, how much do I care about you? During the days I’m not at home, don’t you feel very lonely and isolated?” Masayoshi Kishimoto scowled.

Even if Rie Sakai felt this kind of loneliness and isolation as he said, she wouldn’t admit it herself in front of him. The period of time that he wasn’t at home had really left her heart empty, always feeling that something was missing.

Now, her past week in the heart of that empty feeling suddenly dissipated, and regained the same feeling once.

“There are times when I really want to stab you to death.” Rie Sakai said as she put down the things she was holding on top of the glass coffee table and sat down to his right.

“Same with each other. There are times when I really want to strangle you.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said, finally relieved that it wasn’t just himself who unilaterally had thoughts of killing the other.

Sakai Rie took the initiative to stretch her neck over and said, “You strangle me! You’re choking me to death! Don’t just show off with your mouth without any real action.”

After speaking, she deliberately also hit his chest with her head.

“You’re good, you stabbed me to death first!” Masayoshi Kishimoto held his head high, and his right palm was still “snapping” at his heart.

“Childish.” Sakai Rie suddenly blurted out to him with a look of contempt.

“When are you going to grow up?” Masayoshi Kishimoto then shot back.

“Don’t bother with you. Have you eaten yet?” Sakai Rie threw him another dead fish eye and said.

“Being asked by you like that, I suddenly feel that my belly is still a bit hungry.” Kishimoto Masayoshi got serious and said.

“Hungry? Then let’s starve first! You’re all fat anyway, just think of it as losing weight.” Sakai Rie smiled sweetly and said.

Masayoshi Kishimoto clearly knew that she was talking nonsense with her eyes open, and that she was not fat at all. Not only was he not fat, but he had also developed six-pack abs.

When he was about to say something, Sakai Rie already stood up and walked towards the kitchen without any wind.

Kishimoto Justice suddenly thought to himself, could it be that he and she really belonged to the category of those who are not enemies, do not get together? Or is it the kind of family that is not a family, do not enter a family door?

He thought of here and then thought, husband and wife respect each other like a guest, pure YY. even if the two mouths do not fight, but also will quarrel. If they respect each other as if they were guests, then they are still husband and wife? It’s funny.

Even Qiong Yao’s romance novels, which are specifically designed to deceive second-year girls, don’t write about couples respecting each other as if they were guests. She wrote about Yi Ping and Shu Huan’s fights in Love is Deep, Rainy and Dangerous with “Yes, you’re heartless, you’re cruel, you’re irrational” and “Then you’re not heartless! Not cruel! Not unreasonable”.

“You’re heartless, you’re cruel, you’re irrational”, “You’re the one who’s heartless, you’re the one who’s cruel, you’re the one who’s irrational”, “Where I’m heartless, where I’m cruel, where I’m irrational”. “Where are you not heartless, where are you not cold, where are you not unreasonable”.

“Good! Even if I am heartless, cold and unreasonable”, “You are already heartless, cold and unreasonable”, “If I were heartless, cold and unreasonable! I wouldn’t be any more ruthless, cold and unreasonable than you are”, “Hmph! You’re the most ruthless, cold, and unreasonable.”

Inside Masayoshi Kishimoto’s head, he couldn’t help but get more and more confused as he thought about this. He was unable to recover from it for a long time.

I don’t know how many hours passed, but Masayoshi Kishimoto smelled the scent of food. He followed the direction of the good smell into his nostrils and searched for it with his eyes.

Rie Sakai came from afar with a large bowl of noodles in her hands and stopped in front of the glass coffee table, where she carefully placed it flat on top of the table. A pair of chopsticks were placed horizontally on top of the bowl, and there was a poached egg at the top of the bowl.

Sakai Rie resumed her seat on the sofa, silent. It was clear that she had made this for Masayoshi Kishimoto herself.

Masayoshi Kishimoto was very appreciative of this, and stood up to take the bowl in his hands, moving to the dining table before setting it down. He pulled out a chair and sat down, picking up chopsticks in his right hand and feasting.

“Cheeky. Is that noodle made for you?” Rie Sakai said nonchalantly.

“I’m a person who can be said to have no merit whatsoever, the only merit is thick skin. By the way, I brought you a Korean specialty inside that big shoulder bag.

I don’t know if you like it or not. Anyway, I just bought them haphazardly.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said while eating the noodles and showing an indifferent attitude.

“Haphazardly buying, and you’re still buying? You think you have too much money to spend, don’t you!” Sakai Rie said without getting up to rummage through the contents of his large shoulder bag.

“You’re good at everything but that mouth.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said as he blew air at the ruffled egg on one side, while habitually bickering with her on the other.

“My mouth, my call, freedom of speech, since it’s getting in your way, then you can just not listen! Or, cut off your ears for good, and the whole world will let you feel the quiet harmonious atmosphere.” Sakai Rie looked in his direction, spreading her hands out Xu Xu, and also said with a smile on her face.

“Forget it, I’ve been living with you for more than a year now, so I’m used to it if I’m not. If a certain day is really less to hear all your broken thoughts, I’m still not used to it, it’s hard all over.” Masayoshi Kishimoto raised his head towards her with an intentional toothy smile and said.

“I’m sorry for making you suffer.” Rie Sakai placed her hands on top of each of her legs and bowed towards him with a mocking tone and said.

“It’s all something I should have done.” Masayoshi Kishimoto responded with a playful smile.
