Kusano Kaoru never imagined that she would be forced by her best friend to 'play fight the landlord' with her boyfriend!
She had only seen such ridiculous things on television!
But this was truly happening to her!
Kusano Kaoru went from shock to anger, then to pain and begging for mercy... and finally, understanding.
Yes.
Kusano Kaoru began to understand Ono Yoko.
She somewhat understood why Ono Yoko became her boyfriend's accomplice.
Because her boyfriend was simply too fierce!
Too cruel!
When she used to go for afternoon tea with her high school female friends, she heard them talk a lot about the things between men and women, about making love.
Dirty topics like "an inch longer, an inch stronger," "no matter how long the tool is, it's not as good as lasting long," and "last time my stomach was almost pierced through."
Now, all these words were being put to the test on her own body.
Although she was a bit angry, although she was very unhappy that Yoko betrayed her, although there were many 'althoughs'... but... but... but, this kind of thing really felt so good.
No wonder they always talked about these things when they gathered for afternoon tea.
During the process, Kusano Kaoru even had the thought that "actually, this is quite nice."
This thought startled Kusano Kaoru. Why did she feel like she had become the heroine of an adult anime?
Why did my mindset suddenly change like this?
Why did my body suddenly become like this?
My heart refuses... but why is my body being so honest?
Kusano Kaoru's thoughts kept racing, and then... and then she lost consciousness.
When she woke up, she found Yoko staring at her with wide eyes.
"Kaoru... you're awake?"
A cute smile appeared on Ono Yoko's face.
But this smile now, in Kusano Kaoru's eyes, was so hypocritical; even her eyebrows were full of lies!
"Hmph."
Kusano Kaoru didn't give Yoko a good look. Although she felt quite comfortable, if she showed happiness or joy after being forced to fight the landlord, wouldn't that be telling others she was a weirdo?
A normal person should be unhappy, angry, or even furious, right?
Seeing Kusano Kaoru's sour face, Ono Yoko's expression immediately collapsed. She hurried to apologize to Kusano Kaoru: "I'm sorry, Kaoru. I apologize to you on his behalf..."
Seeing Ono Yoko still speaking up for her scumbag boyfriend, Kusano Kaoru was also a bit puzzled. She couldn't help but say, "Yoko! I really don't understand... He's already betrayed you! Why are you still speaking for him!"
Hearing this, Ono Yoko lowered her head and said, "Because... because I did something wrong to him before, so... as long as it's not something too extreme, I will forgive him."
"...This isn't considered extreme?"
Kusano Kaoru found it hard to understand Ono Yoko's thoughts. She felt like she had been dealing with a fake Yoko before.
"Sigh, it's complicated to explain... you wouldn't understand."
Yoko sighed and said, "Anyway... I will compensate you for this matter!"
"Compensate?" Kusano Kaoru grabbed the quilt and asked, "How are you going to compensate me?"
Just as Ono Yoko was about to speak, the room door opened.
Lin Yi walked in with a few steps, carrying two glasses of water, and said, "There are three compensation plans."
"First, I'll give you ten million, and then you pretend nothing happened."
Lin Yi said as he handed the water glasses to them.
Yoko took the glass and said "Thank you" sweetly.
Kusano Kaoru hesitated. She didn't want to take it at first, but there was a fishy taste in her mouth, so she eventually reached out and took the glass, though she didn't say thank you.
After taking a few sips of water, the fishy taste in Kusano Kaoru's mouth faded a lot. She then looked at Lin Yi expressionlessly and said, "Do you think I'm the kind of woman who only cares about profit?"
Lin Yi said with a smile, "You're willing to pretend to be a couple with other stars or even accept a fake marriage just to become famous... Isn't that considered being profit-driven?"
"You... who told you that?"
Kusano Kaoru immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Lin Yi didn't speak, just looked at her.
Kusano Kaoru slowly lowered her head and whispered, "Do you think I wanted to? It was all arranged by the management company... it was just a gimmick spread on purpose to promote that TV series..."
Hmm? It wasn't?
Seeing Kusano Kaoru looking sad and distressed, Lin Yi was slightly surprised. He didn't know much about the entertainment industry, so he turned to look at Yoko.
Ono Yoko patted Kusano Kaoru's shoulder and nodded, saying, "In most cases, Actors have to make some sacrifices to promote a movie, like starting scandals and such..."
Okay, I guessed wrong. It turns out this is an industry unspoken rule.
But what does it matter?
Lin Yi continued, "In that case, you can listen to the second condition... As an apology for my temporary loss of sanity, I can let you be the lead actress in a TV series again."
Kusano Kaoru was stunned. She subconsciously looked up at Lin Yi, not quite believing his words: "Really?"
Lin Yi pulled over a chair, sat down, and said calmly, "What's so hard about that? Isn't it enough just to have money to film a TV series? Not to mention letting you be the lead... it's no problem to have your whole Earth Ladies Team star in it."
"..."
Are you really that rich?
Kusano Kaoru subconsciously looked at Ono Yoko, wanting to confirm if she had anything to say.
Ono Yoko said without thinking, "Lin Yi wouldn't lie."
Well, Yoko was completely infatuated with him; there was no point in asking.
"You think I'd lie to you?" Lin Yi looked at Kusano Kaoru with a half-smile, seeing through her thoughts. "If you agree, I can get a production crew together within ten days!"
As long as money was thrown at it, a crew could definitely be pulled together within ten days, but there was no guarantee of the quality of the resulting TV series.
But Lin Yi didn't care about the money; it was all easily come by, so he didn't feel any sting.
Seeing Yoko so confident in him, Kusano Kaoru couldn't help but believe what he said.
"Then... what about the third compensation plan?"
Kusano Kaoru couldn't help but ask.
