Chapter 123: One Life, One Life, One Pair
Kishimoto Masayoshi brought the MP3 out of Natsui Makoto’s house, and then stopped a cab on the side of the road, before returning home.
As soon as he entered the door and walked to the living room, he was questioned by Sakai Rie, “Why did you come back so much later than usual?”
Masayoshi Kishimoto immediately used “working overtime” as a shield, which was also a man’s usual excuse for dealing with women at home, and frankly said, “Recently, the company had a lot of things to do, so I had to work overtime.”
Rie Sakai was just about to say something when the landline rang at home. She stood up from the top of the couch and walked to answer the phone.
She picked up the microphone in her right hand and attached it to her right ear, and before she had a chance to speak, Sakai Mirei’s chirping voice was already coming from the other end of the phone.
Although Masayoshi Kishimoto didn’t feel that this phone call had saved him, he also felt it was timely. According to Sakai Rie’s nature, she was bound to ask questions, causing herself and her to have another daily theory.
He put his things in his bedroom and then walked out, heading towards the kitchen sink to wash his hands. After he washed his hands, he was already sitting at the dining room table, and Rie Sakai hadn’t put the phone down yet.
Masayoshi Kishimoto listened as she called Sakai Mirei an idiot for not understanding the new high technology, while at the same time teaching her how to properly use an MP3.
He smiled inwardly, Sakai Rie had taught her all of these things herself. Now, she was using it to teach her own sister.
Masayoshi Kishimoto looked at the table full of food, but did not plan to move his chopsticks. He was not without the thought that he would have to have a snack with Natsui Makoto in the evening. The way to nourish your body, you need to eat less at night. Otherwise, it would be undigested and directly affect sleep at night.
Masayoshi Kishimoto felt that his belly hadn’t yet made the characteristic sound of hunger, so he waited for Rie Sakai to finish her call before eating together.
It was only after about a few more minutes that Sakai Rie put down the microphone, sidled up towards the table, and was able to sit down across from him.
Sakai Rie saw that he was not like the usual inside the butt once sat down to start eating, a good strange stared at him said: “You today some abnormal oh!”
“What’s wrong with waiting for you to eat with me? Since you don’t appreciate it, then I won’t do it from now on.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said as he picked up his chopsticks in his right hand and started eating.
Sakai Rie’s gaze with distrust was still staring at him over and over. She herself had lived with him for more than a year, so it could be said that she had spent a lot of time together.
Even if she didn’t know exactly what was going on inside his mind, she was still able to perceive the other party’s actions that were different from the past. In the past, all of this that she had done was viewed by him as a natural thing.
Today, why would he think of waiting for himself to eat together? Sakai Rie thought about this inside her head, her left palm pressed to the top of the left side of her face was puzzled.
“Don’t you look at me. Aren’t you hungry? By the way, I have to go out after dinner, so I might be late. You go to bed early.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said, a little uncomfortable by her gaze.
“When did you even learn to care about me? And asking me if I’m hungry? Today, you’re really different from your usual self.” Sakai Rie said as she looked straight at him.
Masayoshi Kishimoto put down the chopsticks in his hand and came to a four-eyed stare with her. It was then that he realized that he had instinctively made a mistake that all men were prone to make, the need for a balance of conscience.
Although he did not “cheat” in the back, but in the back and other girls in the date. Not only that, but also toward the direction of the relationship in the development.
According to normal ethical and moral concepts, he did is cheating, foot in two boats, the behavior of scum. Thus, the conscience could not help but feel uneasy and guilty, and it was only then that he subconsciously wanted to make amends to another woman.
“Who let us have already had skin to skin? I will be responsible for you to the end.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said with a leathery smile in order to ease the tense atmosphere.
Sakai Rie instantly remembered that time when he touched her neck. Some shyness showed within her expression, but she did not blush.
Sakai Rie’s heartbeat accelerated quite a bit, and she forced herself to calm down and said, “I’m going to ask you a question, and you need to answer me seriously.”
As Masayoshi Kishimoto looked at her serious face, he realized that the question she was about to ask would not be an easy one to answer.
Sakai Rie said with extreme seriousness, “Hypothetically, I’m just hypothesizing, after we get married, will you stop fooling around with other women?”
Masayoshi Kishimoto understood, her meaning couldn’t be clearer. In the past, the things that he had done could be passed over and treated as if they had never happened. Getting to her, Rie Sakai, should be the last stop.
For that reason, he also believed that women genuinely didn’t care much about how many girlfriends a man had in the past, as long as it was the last stop when it came to her.
“Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?” Masayoshi Kishimoto said with the same serious side displayed.
“How about the truth and how about the lies?” Sakai Rie said in a serious manner.
“The falsehood is that I will do my best to be a good husband and a good father after marriage, putting my wife and children and family completely first. The truth is, who can guarantee such things?
In human nature, there is a love of the old and a love of the new. Not to mention the fact that if you eat one thing every day, you will get tired of it one day. Even if you want to change the flavor to spice up the spice, it is also a normal human reaction.
Not to mention men with a few bucks in their pockets, even those with no money in their pockets still fantasize about it in their heads from time to time.
The monogamous marriage system itself is problematic. Not to mention 1 teapot with 4 teacups, how can there be 1 teacup with 4 teapots?
Look inside the animal world, strong males have quite a few female partners.” Justice Kishimoto said without haste.
“By the looks of it, you are indeed unwilling to live a lifetime in a pair.” Sakai Rie said with a frown on her face.
Masayoshi Kishimoto did feel that she was naive. How was it possible to want to be in a pair for a lifetime in modern society? It was against human nature.
At the same time, he finally understood Sakai Rie’s mind and aspiration in male-female relationships, which was not to share, just to be exclusive.
“You’ve read too many pure love romance novels! You women ah! Have to make us men tell the truth. Speak the truth to you to hear, and always unhappy, always think that men are not a good thing, are lower body thinking beasts.
But when we tell lies, you all say that you don’t believe it, but in your heart, you are very happy with it. This is not forcing us men to tell lies, what is it?” Justice Kishimoto shook his head.
Sakai Rie didn’t raise her voice as usual, “I can’t deny that you’re telling the truth about current society. Even so, I want one person for one lifetime.”
“If you can’t find that one man who is willing to be with you for a lifetime, is it hard to believe that you will be an old girl for the rest of your life? The second half of your life is a dog accompanying you.” Justice Kishimoto blurted out.
