Chapter 267 265. One-day date with Matsumoto Hitomi

On June 6, the weather turned cloudy with light rain.

As Toru Watanabe drove to the apartment where Hitomi Matsumoto lived, he could see the impact of the typhoon that passed by Tokyo last night.

Trees broken in half, with lush green leaves scraped off and stuck in the puddles beside the road. Street sweepers wearing green vests and transparent raincoats were sweeping the road with tools. There were also uprooted electric poles lying on the roadside, with broken wires emitting sparks, and firefighters were rushing to clean them up.

Such scenes are not common. If it happened in the past, Watanabe would definitely stop the car and take inconspicuous photos to share with Kiko as a daily routine.

As for why they had to secretly take pictures, it was a natural disaster after all, and it really brought trouble and suffering to the people. It would be better to be restrained. If you are too happy, you will be pointed at and scolded.

But today, Watanabe didn't have the heart to take photos and share them, because he had more important things to do, because he would no longer be able to share the fun things in his daily life with Noriko, and because he was about to do something that would make Noriko feel the most sorry...

Watanabe stopped letting his thoughts wander and focused on driving. If he got distracted and accidentally got into a car accident, it would be a hellish joke and bring harm to other people. It would also waste time and cause a series of chain reactions.

Half an hour later, Toru Watanabe arrived downstairs of Matsumoto Hitomi's apartment. It was an old apartment, similar in style to the one he rented near the university. The girl was probably even older than him.

The moisture brought by the typhoon had not yet completely stopped. Watanabe got out of the car with an umbrella. There was no elevator, so he climbed five floors and came to Matsumoto Hitomi's door.

Not bothering to send her a message, Watanabe rang the doorbell and waited for the door to open.

Instead of waiting for the door to open, she received a message from Matsumoto Hitomi, which meant that Watanabe temporarily removed her from the blocked list, otherwise she didn't know when Watanabe would be able to see her.

[Hitomi Matsumoto: Was it Tetsuya-kun who was knocking on the door just now?]

Watanabe: “…”

He replied: [Who else but me?]
After the message was sent and shown as read, the door of the apartment was opened. Matsumoto Hitomi made a gesture to welcome him in, and Watanabe Toru put his umbrella at the door and stepped into the apartment.

He was just about to take off his shoes and walk into the room when Matsumoto Hitomi, who had closed the door, was quite considerate and slid down like a soft sponge and knelt at Watanabe Tetsuya's feet.

"Let me change your slippers, dear~" The woman's voice was gentle, and she completely regarded herself as Watanabe's wife and hostess.

Watanabe Toru looked down at the woman in the apron. Her hair was tied up in a bun and draped over her shoulders and chest. She looked respectful, gentle and virtuous, which stunned him slightly.

No wonder she asked him to come to her apartment, no wonder she invited him to have breakfast...

All with a purpose.

"Welcome home, dear!" After changing the slippers for Watanabe Tetsuya, "wife Hitomi Watanabe" stood up and said with a shy and lustful smile:

"Should you eat first? Should you take a shower first? Or... should you eat me first?"

He started with a classic combo, but Watanabe was not affected at all. Even his defense was not broken. Instead, he attacked mercilessly: "Matsumoto, what you are doing... is something that Noriko and I have long been tired of. Don't imitate it."

Matsumoto Hitomi still smiled slightly, seemingly unconcerned, and just used a duster to sweep away the moisture on the man's body: "Today is my date day, Tetsuya-kun... I just hope that Tetsuya-kun can cooperate with me and spend a day with me as a newlywed couple, how about it?"

"Whatever makes you happy." Watanabe walked into the entrance, fully adapted to his status, and acted like a host: "Why didn't you open the door when I knocked just now?"

Hitomi Watanabe took off her apron and explained, "There's no peephole on the door, so I don't know if the person knocking on the door is Tetsuya-kun, so I can only ask."

"I didn't expect you to have such a strong sense of security."

"As a single woman living alone, safety is of utmost importance, so of course I have to pay great attention to it."

Watanabe asked: "Why not install a cat's eye?"

"The cat's eye could be used to spy, so I just stopped using it."

Watanabe Toru was speechless. Matsumoto Hitomi was too thoughtful.

He even wondered if she hadn't considered any unexpected situations that might arise during their date alone with him?

"Honey, let's have breakfast first. I'll talk about today's date while we eat." Watanabe Hitomi considerately pulled a chair for Watanabe Toru and motioned him to sit in the main seat.

Watanabe looked at the traditional island breakfast on the table, which included rice, vegetables, sterilized eggs, miso soup, and chopped green onion tofu... and suddenly lost his appetite.

He really can't eat this kind of thing.

"Is it not to Tetsuya's taste?" Matsumoto Hitomi noticed the change in Watanabe Tetsuya's expression and apologized: "I'm sorry, Tetsuya... I didn't ask you about your taste in advance..."

Knowing that just apologizing wouldn't work, Matsumoto Hitomi immediately took remedial measures: "Let's not eat this, let's go out and eat McDonald's."

It didn't take much time to shorten the date after all the goings-on. Watanabe sat down and said there was no need to go through so much trouble. He ate a few bites casually, barely half full, and listened to Matsumoto Hitomi's plans for today's date.

Similar to Haruka Hoshimi, Sakura Kujo and Nao Yanagihara, they have dates in the morning and have sex in the daytime after lunch.

"Not going to a love hotel but back to your apartment?"

When Toru Watanabe heard Matsumoto Hitomi's arrangement, he thought to himself that God was helping him.

His only worry was that if he went to a couple hotel and left alone without seeing Matsumoto Hitomi, that would be the biggest oversight that could not be concealed or covered up in any way.

So Watanabe Tetsuya's original plan was to lure Matsumoto Hitomi back to her apartment, but he didn't expect that she would be so sensible.

It was not difficult for Watanabe to guess that Matsumoto Hitomi must be extremely eager to be intimate with him in her apartment.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Watanabe Toru happily went there!

But Matsumoto Hitomi thought that Watanabe Toru was not willing to be in her apartment, so she asked cautiously, "Honey, is it not okay?"

"Mr. Matsumoto is so cautious in front of me, it really makes me panic..." Watanabe Tetsuya mocked: "Haven't you already made up your mind? Is there any need to ask me for my opinion?"

"Actually, I'm a very traditional woman. Now as Tetsuya-kun's newlywed wife..." At this point, Watanabe Hitomi shyly lifted her hair, which was in line with her identity as a kind and virtuous wife.

"Of course I have to discuss things with Tetsuya-kun, and I also need to get my dear's consent~"

"Oh... I can do whatever you want. Just follow what Mr. Matsumoto likes." Watanabe said, "Just like today's date, it originally belongs to Mr. Matsumoto. Just do whatever you want. We are already in this relationship, so there is nothing to be shy about."

Watanabe Toru said a lot, mainly to downplay the debauchery in the apartment in the afternoon and confuse Matsumoto Hitomi.

"I know~ I didn't expect that a plot that I wouldn't even dream of would actually appear in reality. I'm a little overwhelmed... I feel like I'll be fantasizing about this day repeating itself over and over again for the rest of my life...

"At least, it is a day worth commemorating!"

Matsumoto Hitomi seemed to have lost herself in using exaggerated rhetoric and fantasy about undetermined events.

Or maybe it was because of the thought of going on a date with Tetsuya Watanabe, whom she had been in love with for four years, and the fantasy of nearly 1500 days coming true, that anyone would be happy enough to let down their guard.

Watanabe Toru, who heard Matsumoto Hitomi's sigh, sneered inwardly. After drinking a bowl of miso soup, he felt that it was far inferior to the miso soup that Noriko taught him. However, there was no need for him to say this to irritate Matsumoto Hitomi. He wiped his mouth with a tissue, but said indifferently, "I hope it's as Matsumoto teacher wishes..."

"But one thing is that today is indeed a day worth remembering for both of us."

"My dear, since you think so, then we don't need to waste any more time, right?" Watanabe Hitomi stood up and extended her hand to Watanabe Tetsuya:
"Let's start our date~ Tetsuya-kun~!"

◆

Hitomi Matsumoto said that she didn't want to waste time, but she spent more than 20 minutes, almost half an hour, touching up her makeup. By the time she really went out, it was almost eight o'clock in the morning.

It's so early that people would be shocked if they told others about it.

"The rain has stopped...then don't bring an umbrella to save the trouble." Matsumoto Hitomi muttered.

Watanabe Toru glanced at the woman standing next to him. She had flaxen curly hair with permed and dyed hair and dark black roots. She dressed like Noriko, probably to please him, wearing a simple solid-colored skirt and chiffon shirt, with a Coach chain bag on her waist.

"Let's go." Watanabe Tetsuya retracted his gaze: "While the rain may have stopped temporarily, let's go to the tram station and wait for the train."

Matsumoto Hitomi's plan was that they would not drive but take the train or subway to the agreed meeting place. It was a strange habit, but after thinking about it, Watanabe Toru could understand her.

"I didn't expect that Tetsuya-kun still remembered my arrangements... I'm so happy~!"

"Stop pretending, and don't make me vomit out the breakfast I just ate, even though I didn't eat much in the first place." Watanabe has no sense of dating atmosphere at all, and is worse than a straight man:

"You just mentioned your date plan at the breakfast table less than an hour ago. How could I forget?"

"Hey, Tetsuya-kun~ Deliberately ignoring the air like this really ruins the dating atmosphere I worked so hard to create..." Watanabe Hitomi hugged his arm and acted coquettishly, attracting the attention of all kinds of office workers and students in uniform passing by.

The man is tall and handsome, and the woman is gentle and beautiful. They have always been the objects of extra attention and glances from passers-by, not to mention that they are a couple.

"I won't complain anymore, okay?"

"I knew that Tetsuya-kun doted on me and loved me the most~!"

Never underestimate a woman's delusion. In her unrealistic fantasies, her filter for a person will be so thick that she can't tell black from white, and she will automatically filter out good and bad words.

Of course, the premise is that you are the man she likes.

Watanabe Toru also saw the delusional feminine power of Matsumoto Hitomi and felt terrified...

Eight o'clock is exactly the rush hour in Tokyo. The train is not packed with people, but it is also crowded with office workers and students rushing to work and school.

Due to the increasingly outrageous incidents of perverts and samurai duels on the train, except for men and women traveling together, the standing positions on the train have become more and more clearly defined. Office workers and students stand in separate areas, and men and women do not interfere with each other.

Watanabe Toru and Matsumoto Hitomi were at the intersection of the Chu River and Han River. The woman leaned her back against the armrest, with her chest pressed in Watanabe Toru's arms, making her feel unusually safe.

Hitomi Matsumoto looked up at Tetsuya Watanabe who was clinging to her body, but the reality still felt extremely unreal to her, and her heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of her chest.

In fact, as early as in college, Matsumoto Hitomi had met Watanabe Tetsuya twice, and the impression left on her was deeper and deeper each time. It is no exaggeration to say that it was love at first sight.

Therefore, she was extremely envious of the three female classmates following Watanabe, and this envy gradually turned into jealousy as time went by.

Hitomi Matsumoto originally thought that she might never see the man she had been thinking about day and night but had only seen twice again in her life.

But last spring, after seeing Toru Watanabe joining Yu High School for an internship, Matsumoto Hitomi declared in her heart that her unrealistic ideas had been completely swept into the dustbin of history.

She really didn't expect that when she had already entered the workplace and had completely given up hope in life and was planning to spend the rest of her life in boredom, she would meet Watanabe Tetsuya in the office where she worked...

He became his colleague.

Hitomi Matsumoto felt that this was a gift from fate to her, so she would not let go. She would find ways to get close to him and make him her man...

Watanabe Toru had no idea what the woman in his arms was remembering, nor did he want to know.

Now he was extremely speechless about the crowded carriage. He really didn't understand why Matsumoto Hitomi insisted on squeezing into the train. Could it be that she wanted to play the game of the train nympho?

Toru Watanabe could also see that compared to Sakura Kujo, Matsumoto Hitomi was much more perverted and heavy-handed, with many strange ideas. She was not only the think tank of the Tokyo Women's Team, but also a king of ideas. She came up with so many tricks and ways of playing that he was dazzled.

So Toru Watanabe would subconsciously think in this direction.

It was not until he saw the woman, who was almost squeezed out of shape, holding up a pair of wired headphones and handing it to him with a blushing face, that Watanabe Toru realized that he had been thinking wrongly.

Toru Watanabe took the headphones and put them on, listening to the same song with Hitomi Matsumoto.

【private, private, crying (I only cry for myself)】

[dropping tears tell the future]

[The flower that brought out my longing has finally bloomed.]

【その日まで（Until this day）】

【飛ばあげ（Spread your wings and take off—）

【岚がさわってゆくゆくまで(Until it touches the violent storm)】

…………

Watanabe Toru had never heard this song before, and Matsumoto Hitomi whispered the song title thoughtfully:

"Cry For Me.

“One of my favorite songs.

"When I was young, I watched TV dramas and read light novels. My first vague fantasy about love was that one day...

“Before school or after school, I can sit on the train with the boy I like and listen to the same song with the same pair of headphones.

"But, fantasy is just fantasy after all. I don't have a boy I like, and I don't have the opportunity to listen to music on the train while going to school.

"Until today, my dream has come true for the first time, because of the existence of Tetsuya-kun."

Matsumoto Hitomi raised her eyes and stared into Watanabe Tetsuya's eyes. The words she spoke were firm and powerful, like a river of time spanning more than ten years, marking this moment...
