After breaking up, my ex asked me to win her back-Chapter 238 - 237 (Unread)

It was over.

Kagura Hikaru stepped out of the apartment and stood downstairs, taking a deep breath.

What he smelled was the scent of Tokyo night, a blend of loneliness and mugginess.

The planned schedule was already halfway completed.

What remained was to break up with Ayakoji Chiyoko.

By doing so, he could return to his usual calm life, no longer burdened by disgusting lies, not having to speak insincere words every day.

But this last step was the hardest.

He couldn’t even guarantee that he wouldn’t be killed by Ayakoji Chiyoko.

If she truly lost her mind, Kagura Hikaru probably wouldn’t just sit and wait for death; he would definitely fight back.

He felt unexpectedly strong nostalgia for this world and didn’t want to head to Naraku that early.

However, if he couldn’t exchange it with his life, then how on earth should he pay back this emotional debt and affection...

Kagura Hikaru picked up his phone, intending to use the navigation to find the nearest tram station.

But at that moment, a Bentley drove up, its black, smooth shell reflecting the lights of the apartment behind it as it slowly approached Kagura Hikaru.

The car door opened, and a beautiful girl got out of the back seat.

"Mister Hikaru, what a coincidence," Kohinata Motoyo said with a smile, waving her hand in greeting.

She was dressed in dark blue overalls paired with a clean white T-shirt, make-up free, her youthful beauty beyond enhancement.

But was it really a coincidence, to happen to be under Kiryu Hina’s apartment?

Without any reason, Kagura Hikaru suddenly had the illusion that she was controlling his every move.

She couldn’t have placed a tracker under his shoes like Conan, could she?

"Are you planning to go home?" Kohinata Motoyo said with a waving hand, "Get in, I’ll give you a ride."

Kagura Hikaru didn’t refuse.

Passing up a free ride and walking a long distance alone to wait for the tram would only be something a very contrary person would do.

He got into the Bentley from the other side.

The interior space of the vehicle was spacious, emitting a faint fragrance; he wasn’t sure if it was the car’s perfume or the scent of the girl beside him.

The car naturally had air conditioning, and a wave of cool air brushed against his face, relieving some of the irritation in his heart.

The Bentley started moving slowly.

"You must be tired, want a drink?" Kohinata Motoyo asked with a smile.

She took out a bottle of champagne and two champagne glasses from the car fridge; both appeared high-end.

"Underage drinking is illegal."

Although Kagura Hikaru said this, he seemed to have no intention of stopping her.

Kohinata Motoyo held the bottle and winked at him: "It’s not a crime if it’s not discovered, Mister Hikaru."

The champagne had been opened in advance, but it appeared that no one had drunk from it yet.

Kohinata Motoyo skillfully removed the cork with a tool and poured half a glass.

Kagura Hikaru took the glass, waited for Kohinata Motoyo to pour herself a glass as well, clinked with her, and then drank it all in one swift motion.

"You can’t really taste anything by chugging it like that."

Kohinata Motoyo refilled Kagura Hikaru’s glass with champagne, asking with a smile, "Did something happen?"

"..."

"It’s not good to keep everything bottled up inside, don’t worry, I can keep a secret."

"There’s no need for secrets." Kagura Hikaru tipped his head back and drank another glass.

Although it was only a 13-degree bubbly champagne which, to a connoisseur, might hardly count as alcohol but rather a flavored drink,

this was actually the first time in his life he had ingested alcohol.

After the second glass, Kagura Hikaru felt his spirits somewhat relaxed.

It seemed that alcohol could indeed relieve worries.

"Tomorrow, I will officially break up with Ayakoji Chiyoko," he said.

Kohinata Motoyo’s smile slightly faded: "That’s really a pity."

"Not happy about my misfortune?" Kagura Hikaru glanced at her.

"Oh my, why would you think that? Do you think I’m that kind of awful woman?" Kohinata Motoyo said with a feigned laugh, covering her mouth, "Or, do you think you’d like me more if I were like that?"

"I’m not in the mood for jokes right now," Kagura Hikaru said, "Don’t meddle in tomorrow’s matters."

"Oh? What do you think I’m going to do?"

"Last time, it was because of your unilateral actions that so many unnecessary issues arose."

"Seems like I’ve lost your trust, I’m actually thinking about everyone’s interest here."

"Say whatever you want," Kagura Hikaru cast a mysterious glance at her, "Anyway, our cooperation has ended. This is my private matter, don’t interfere anymore."

Kohinata Motoyo made a contemplative face: "But Hikaru, you’re not only planning to break up with Classmate Ayakoji, you also want to cut off all ties with Hina, right?"

"Yeah."

"I think she’s going to be very unhappy."

"Oh."

"And, you might end up with someone like me, is that still okay?"

"..."

"You’re hesitating," Kohinata Motoyo sighed softly, "You’re soft-hearted again, Mister Hikaru, that’s why girls can lead you by the nose."

"You talk too much."

Kagura Hikaru was starting to regret getting into this car.

There’s a fatal problem with being in someone else’s car: you can’t open the door and jump out until you reach your destination.

For the rest of the journey, Kagura Hikaru didn’t speak anymore, just looking out at the cityscape from the window, slowly savoring the champagne.

Under the night sky, Tokyo shone with a dazzling array of lights, like a city that never sleeps.

But to Kagura Hikaru, it felt like those lights might just be stripped from the hearts of people.

By the time he finished his third glass, the car had already arrived at the Kagura Family’s front door.

Kagura Hikaru thanked the driver, grabbed his briefcase, and got out of the car.

"Even though you’re soft-hearted, you’re quite resolute," Kohinata Motoyo observed through the car window as she watched him enter his house. She touched her face with concern and sighed, "Hina, it looks like you will have to get through this hurdle on your own..."

Back home, Kagura Hikaru took a bath and threw himself heavily onto his bed.

Lying on his back, he stared at the ceiling and took out his phone.

The bright screen still showed the LINE messages sent by Ayakoji Chiyoko.

This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

Ayakoji Chiyoko: "I’m dining out with the idiot right now, this guy covered himself up so thoroughly, everyone thought he was a suspicious person, so embarrassing. (photo.jpg) (unread)"

Ayakoji Chiyoko: "We’ve finished eating, have you gotten home? (unread)"

Ayakoji Chiyoko: "What are you doing, why aren’t you replying? (unread)"

He opened the chat history and scrolled up.

All of them were messages she had sent before, almost every day he would receive a lot of text from her.

Although she seemed very fierce on the outside, Ayakoji Chiyoko also had the side of a young girl.

Ayakoji Chiyoko: "Look at this tree, it’s grown so strangely. (photo.jpg)"

Ayakoji Chiyoko: "Goodnight."

Ayakoji Chiyoko: "Good morning, wake up!"

Ayakoji Chiyoko: "Found a four-leaf clover in the garden, isn’t that lucky?"

Ayakoji Chiyoko: "How about going to school together today, I’m here waiting for you. (map location.jpg)"

Her feelings were very reserved, she would never speak lovey-dovey words, and her face would turn red just by saying she liked something.

She was also very loyal to her partner, intentionally keeping a distance from other guys since they started dating.

What a good girl she was.

Kagura Hikaru opened the message input field: "Tomorrow, I have something to tell you, right at....."

Halfway through typing, he deleted it, typed again, and deleted it again.

His eyes stayed on the chat interface until the screen automatically turned off, then he lowered his hand and put the phone down.

Ding-dong.

Ayakoji Chiyoko: "Goodnight. (unread)"
