Chapter 259 257. "Of course I choose to forgive her" and "I am pregnant with his child"

The day before yesterday, June 6st, considering that it was another hot summer, Hitomi Matsumoto wanted to ask Miyagawa Lu to go clothes shopping together.

Last month, I accompanied Ms. Saotome and Ms. Kato to buy clothes in Omotesando. Matsumoto Hitomi and Miyagawa Tsuyu basically just followed behind and looked, and didn't buy any new clothes.

The stores in Omotesando are all international high-end fashion luxury brands or independent designer stores. Any dress, scarf or handkerchief can cost 5 yen.

At present, Hitomi Matsumoto’s monthly salary is enough to cover her expenses, but she doesn’t need to do so. She also wants to buy a small apartment in Tokyo to live in herself.

Her original plan was to buy a 1LDK (one bedroom, one living room, and one kitchen) single apartment, which would be more than enough for her to live in.

According to the current housing prices in Shinjuku and her salary, Hitomi Matsumoto would have to go without food or drink for at least ten years to be able to afford such a small apartment.

If you live frugally, it will take about 20 years.

20 years... Matsumoto Hitomi can still afford to wait. By then, she will still be several years away from 50 years old. She has both the time and the ability.

Having a house and home of her own to soothe her lonely body and mind, no longer wandering on an isolated island in the city without a fixed place to stay, and not having to live under someone else's roof, this is Hitomi Matsumoto's dream.

This is also Miyakawa Lu's dream.

So they had discussed jointly investing to buy a 2LDK (two bedrooms, one living room and one kitchen) apartment.

In this way, even if they live frugally, the two of them will be able to own their own apartment and home in just ten years!
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. When she found out that her best friend had developed feelings for Mr. Kurosawa, who worked in the same office, Matsumoto Hitomi realized that their idea of ​​buying an apartment together would be aborted.

The facts were indeed as she expected. After Miyagawa Lu and Kurosawa Ryosuke officially established a romantic relationship last month, Matsumoto Hitomi could clearly feel that Miyagawa Lu had less contact with her, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that their relationship was cut short.

Hitomi Matsumoto could understand. After all, the beauty was already taken and had a new boyfriend. She needed to divide her time and energy to deal with him, so naturally he couldn't stick to her as much as before.

Knowing how much Miyagawa Lu likes Kurosawa Ryosuke, although Matsumoto Hitomi doesn't understand why she likes such a man, she can understand her behavior.

If she were together with Watanabe Toru, she would probably spend more than 80% of her time accompanying and flirting with Watanabe. It is normal to forget friends for the sake of a man's beauty.

But what Matsumoto Hitomi could not understand or agree with was that Miyagawa Lu would lie to her.

It's not that I can't refuse her invitation to go shopping for clothes, but I shouldn't lie to her by saying "I already have a date plan with Kurosawa, how about tomorrow?"

If Nao Yanagihara hadn't revealed the truth to her - Miyagawa and Kurosawa, as well as Mr. Watanabe and Ms. Noriko, Takahashi and Kato, they went to Hoshimi Haruka's concert together, Matsumoto Hitomi would probably have been kept in the dark by her!
When she heard the news, Hitomi Matsumoto was frying steak for dinner.

She forgot about time and looked at the steak that was grilled like charcoal, and suddenly smiled with relief.

Matsumoto Hitomi seemed to understand the secret of her good friend Miyagawa Lu.

From the subtle rivalry with Ms. Kiko and Saotome at the first tea party to the open falling out with Saotome, Saotome and Ms. Kiko were so close that Matsumoto Hitomi realized that she had probably been excluded from their social circle long ago.

Just like what she experienced when she was studying, she was already accustomed to it.

Looking at the deserted tea party group of five people, no one had spoken for a while. How could Matsumoto Hitomi not guess that they had set up new discussion groups and group chats in private?
Who else could be excluded except her?

Oh yeah, and there's also Hazuki Saotome.

Considering that Miyagawa Lu, Kato Yua and Shimizu Noriko all have boyfriends or fiancés in public, Saotome will definitely be kicked out and won't be able to enter the real core.

Thinking of this, Matsumoto Hitomi laughed so hard that tears were about to come out.

How many group chats and discussion groups are they going to create, just like those bored girls in high school and college who only form cliques and self-righteously isolate those they don't like?

It's... so ridiculous!
However, Matsumoto Hitomi felt hopeless because of Miyagawa Roshi's collusion and aiding and abetting of the evil.

why?
why!
Why……

'Why would you do something to hurt me like this!? '

"You were the one who approached me first, weren't you? You were the one who talked to me, approached me step by step, and wanted to be my friend, weren't you? "

"Now you are afraid that I will overthink things, so you are so arrogant that you are deceiving me with white lies and stabbing me in the back, right?!"

"If that's the case, why did you come to provoke me in the first place!?"

'I am living happily and freely on my own! ! ! '

Unforgivable! Absolutely unforgivable! Absolutely absolutely... unforgivable!
But now, in the dark rainy night, with the incandescent lights in the corridor, Matsumoto Hitomi saw clearly the shrinking eyes of Miyagawa Lu, as pitiful as a drowned kitten, and saw her slightly trembling lips wanting to open, but then as if she thought of something, she closed her mouth and looked away, not daring to look at the tall figure standing two meters in front of her.

Hitomi Matsumoto's heart was being squeezed tightly by an invisible hand, her chest could not move up and down, and she had difficulty breathing.

"What are you...doing here?

"You idiot... since you're already here, why don't you just go into my apartment? I gave you the key, didn't I...

"Why didn't you call me? What's the point of staying here?

"What would you do if I wasn't careful enough and overlooked you?"

Hitomi Matsumoto finally softened her heart. She couldn't just ignore the kitten squatting in the corner and getting wet!
“…Hitomi-chan! Uuuu… cough! Uuuuu…”

These words passed through her ears and fell into her heart. Miyagawa Lu finally couldn't hold it in anymore. She raised her tear-stained face and burst into tears again.

"Okay, okay... I'm here! I've always been here..." Matsumoto Hitomi trotted forward and squatted beside the woman, gently patting Miyagawa Lu's back. She patted and touched it, and her palms were full of water.

"Did you get caught in the rain all the way here, you idiot?" She helped Miyakawa Lu up without saying a word, "Go back to the apartment and take a hot shower first! Otherwise, you'll catch a cold if you stay here for a while."

"Okay...Hitomi-chan, thank you..."

"Stop talking like that. I don't want to hear it."

Hitomi Matsumoto's apartment has always been stocked with Miyagawa Tsuyoshi's daily necessities, including slippers, toothbrushes, toothbrush cups, towels and change of clothes.

Before Miyagawa Roshi and Kurosawa Ryosuke started dating, she would often come to Matsumoto Hitomi's apartment to spend the night on weekends. Over time, in order to make her life more convenient, Matsumoto Hitomi bought her some daily necessities.

Similarly, Miyagawa Tsuya also prepared daily necessities for her friend Matsumoto Hitomi in the small apartment she rented.

However, since Miyagawa Lu and Kurosawa Ryosuke officially started dating last month, Matsumoto Hitomi has never been to her apartment again, with only Miyagawa Lu coming once.

Hitomi Matsumoto also wanted to take back the daily necessities she had used, but she never had the time to say it, nor did she find the right opportunity. After entering the apartment, she took a nearly disposable dry towel and gave it to Miyakawa Lu to wipe her damp hair, forehead, and neck. Hitomi Matsumoto went to get her pajamas and towels that had been washed and dried.

"Lu-chan, you haven't eaten yet, right?" Matsumoto Hitomi asked as she handed her some clean clothes.

Miyakawa Lu lowered her head, looked at the disposable towel in her hand that was wet and dry, and shook her head: "...Not yet."

"Then let's take a shower? Let's talk after we take a shower, okay? Warm up your body first, otherwise it's really easy to catch a cold, which is bad for your health."

It's bad for your health. Just this one sentence left Miyakawa Lu speechless. She thought of her current physical condition and nodded in agreement.

"There's no time to fill the bathtub with hot water now, Lu-chan, just take a shower first. Take a longer shower to get rid of all the coldness from tonight's rain."

"...Okay, I'll listen to you, Hitomi-chan."

"What do you want to eat, Lu-chan? Curry chicken rice or ramen? I'll go prepare it. It should be ready for you when you get out of the shower."

Matsumoto Hitomi walked with Miyagawa Lu and asked before going to the kitchen. She already had the answer in her mind. Miyagawa Lu loved to eat the noodles she made the most, so she decided to make ramen.

"No, don't bother! Hitomi-chan... I'll just eat some bread and drink some hot water!"

The better her friend treated her, the more guilty Miyagawa Lu felt when she thought about what she had done to her the day before.

So much so that she awkwardly began to bow to her best friend in front of the bathroom door, thanking her for taking her in, providing her with a hot bath and preparing dinner for her.

"What are you talking about and doing...Lu-chan." Matsumoto Hitomi walked up to her and hugged her gently. Because of the height difference, she was able to rest Miyagawa Lu's head on her chest and shoulders.

She said: “We are best friends.

“Best friend forever and forever.

"Lu-chan, please stop thinking and doing this, okay?"

Hitomi Matsumoto hugged Miyagawa Lu tightly, giving her the hug she wanted most in more than 20 years.

"Okay! Hitomi-chan...we'll be good friends forever!"

Matsumoto Hitomi let go, took a step or two back, and said with a smile: "Then I'll go make ramen~ Lu-chan, go take a shower quickly, don't waste time!"

It was half an hour later when Miyagawa Lu came out of the shower. Matsumoto Hitomi knew her shower time, so she prepared ramen on time.

Influenced by the ramen shop and the old lady in her childhood town, Matsumoto Hitomi has an almost crazy obsession with ramen, only slightly less than that of Watanabe Tetsuya.

The ramen she made has barbecued pork, but unlike boiled soft-boiled eggs, Matsumoto Hitomi either frys the eggs or puts them directly into the pan to cook. She also cuts some shredded meat as a side dish, making a bowl of ramen very rich.

The apartment that Hitomi Matsumoto rented was very small, with only one bathroom and kitchen. The bedroom, living room and dining room were all squeezed together. It was similar to the apartment that Tetsuya Watanabe rented back then, but the distribution pattern was different.

After taking a shower, Miyagawa Lu was called to the low table on the blanket beside the bed. The ramen on the table was emitting a hot and fragrant smell, which whetted her appetite. She swallowed unconsciously and her stomach began to growl.

Matsumoto Hitomi didn't laugh at her. She just let Miyagawa Lu sit down and eat ramen, while she held the hair dryer to dry the wet hair of the woman who was eating ramen.

It began to drizzle again in the dark night. The wind and rain gradually grew stronger, hitting the closed windows of the balcony, leaving streaks of rain.

Warm lights were on in the small apartment, and the air conditioner was blowing to remove excess moisture from the air.

A woman dressed like an urban beauty leaned on the bed with her legs crooked. She held a hair dryer and blew her hair carefully from roots to ends. Another woman wearing Hello Kitty cartoon pajamas lowered her head to eat ramen. Her voice was very quiet, and all the sound was covered by the noise of the hair dryer. As the soup of noodles slowly dried up, her wet hair slowly became refreshed and clean.

"Don't cry. It's embarrassing. If you cry again, don't rub your clothes against my clothes." Matsumoto Hitomi warned her.

"I'm not crying anymore! Don't look down on me, Hitomi-chan!"

"Okay, okay~"

Soon Matsumoto Hitomi dried Miyagawa Lu's long hair. After she was done, she sat on the bed and looked at the woman who had finished her ramen and was lying on the blanket. She asked her:

"So what happened between Lu-chan and Kurosawa-sensei? You can tell me now."

"How does Hitomi-chan know it's because of him..."

"Tsk, do you think everyone is as stupid as you?"

"Don't talk about me!"

"Okay~ I won't talk about you, just tell me what happened."

Miyagawa Lu was embarrassed again, not daring to look into Matsumoto Hitomi's eyes. She only whispered, "Before that, I have to confess something to Hitomi-chan, and then, um, say sorry..."

"Ah."

Miyagawa Lu didn't hear anything wrong in her friend's tone, nor did she understand what the word "hmm" meant. She just blurted out all her lies and deceptions on June 6st, then knelt down and bowed deeply to her friend to apologize.

Matsumoto Hitomi expected that Miyagawa Lu could be so stupid. Even if she didn't understand what she was saying, she should be able to subconsciously react from her tone after spending such a long time together, right?

But Miyagawa Lu didn't do that, and Matsumoto Hitomi knew it too, so although she felt sad and uncomfortable about her friend's confession and apology, what else could she do?

Miyagawa Lu has already entered her apartment and is lying beside her bed. What else can she do?
Of course I choose to forgive her!
Matsumoto Hitomi was too lazy to suggest to herself that she had already known about her deception and lies. It was like talking to a deaf person and would only make her emotions fluctuate.

She acted very magnanimous, saying that it would not happen again. Then she made fun of Gongchuan Lu a few words and helped her up, saying that the ground was cold and asked her to lie on the bed and continue talking.

Still frightened, Miyakawa Lu tilted her head in confusion, very puzzled: "It's summer now, and it's not cool to lie on the blanket..."

"You just got caught in the rain, and the blanket is still relatively thin, so it's easy for the cold air to penetrate your body."

The cold air entering her body made Miyakawa Lu concerned. She was now afraid, worried that taking a shower tonight would affect the baby in her belly, so she went to bed immediately.

"Now Lu-chan can tell us what happened between you and Mr. Kurosawa tonight."

Miyakawa Lu pursed her lips and thought for a while before finding the right words to get to the point: "Because...

"Yes, I am pregnant with his child."
