It's like this every time, the feeling of nesting in the room with Rinko is so good, I'm always reluctant to go back. He thought it would be better for the two of them to live together like this.Although you can do it immediately if you want to, but that will indeed force each other into a more difficult situation. In fact, two people live in the room, feeling like a couple or cohabiting lovers, and this feeling will be inadvertently manifested in daily small movements.For example, when Rinko washes simple small clothes in the room, she will wash Hisaki's handkerchief and socks, and even prepare new underwear.These are not what Jiumu asked her to do, but sometimes in the morning after spending the night together, she would ask Jiumu to wear this as if nothing had happened.

Jiu Mu would suddenly wonder whether his wife would know that he had changed his underwear, but the brand was the same, so he took a chance and thought it might be all right. It can't be helped to say that he is too weak. He and his wife have been in a state of cold war for a while, and there is almost no cordial dialogue. Of course, the responsibility is indeed on the side of Hisaki, who knows that he is sorry for his wife, but in reality he is in a state of being devoted to Rinko, and it is difficult to show a gentle and considerate attitude towards his wife.The wife also understood this situation in her heart, so of course she would not take the initiative to show her favor to him.

Just because the husband and wife are in a state of indifference where they don't even have the mood to fight, rather than a cold war, Jiu Mu thought that there would be no trouble if he sleeps out occasionally. Throw this sentence from behind: It's okay to have fun, but don't do things that make people laugh. Jiu Mu was puzzled for a moment and looked back at her, but she went back to the room without saying anything. What does she mean?Maybe she knew about herself and Rinko?He wanted to find out what she said, but he was afraid of causing trouble for himself, so he went out the door in such a sullen manner.After the Chinese New Year, it is an indisputable fact that the relationship with his wife has deteriorated.

Just as the relationship between Hisaki and his wife became increasingly tense, the gap between Rinko and her husband also deepened. Rinko hardly ever talked about her discord with her husband, but it is not difficult to imagine one or two from her casual conversation and attitude. For example, when the two stayed overnight together, Rinko used to think of home and secretly called her husband. Although she didn't say who she was calling, she could guess from the way she hung up the phone in a hurry. But recently, even if she suddenly decided to stay overnight, she didn't intend to call back. Instead, Jiumu was worried about her, and wanted to ask her if it didn't matter if she didn't call back?But he felt that it was too much to say, so he kept silent.

Is Rinko already going all out, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't know her family when she stays out, or has she agreed in advance that she may stay out at any time?Although this is someone else's business, Jiu Mu still cares a little bit. This change can also be felt from Rinko's occasional words after renting the house. For example, when two people sit opposite each other for dinner, Rinko will say with deep feeling: It's still delicious to eat together. Jiu Mu nodded in agreement, but also noticed that Rinko didn't have dinner with her husband when she was at home, so she asked her: What about when she was at home?I almost always eat alone, he comes back late, and I don't want to eat with him.

Her tone seemed so righteous, Jiu Mu felt uneasy. Always be at home on holidays! At that time, I pretended to have a book job and went out, and tried not to eat with him. When I really had to eat together, I didn’t have any appetite at all. According to this, Rinko has really lost some weight these days. It became more and more difficult for me to tell which side was my real home. Just by hearing her say that, one can tell that the relationship between her and her husband has been quite alienated. If they are so alienated from the family and diligent in trysts, maybe they both simply divorce, and it will be more natural to formally unite.Hisaki sometimes thinks this way, thinking about his future life arrangements, but in reality it is difficult to make up his mind when he really needs to take action.

One of the reasons for his hesitation was that even if Rinko had the intention, it would be cruel to force her husband to this point.Although it is strange to steal someone's wife and come back to sympathize with him, Jiu Mu really has no determination to take his wife away from his serious and tolerant husband. Besides, what was Rinko herself thinking?It is true that she does not love her husband, but does she really have the courage to divorce?From the perspective of social status and financial income, her husband seems to be stronger than Jiumu, and once she really talks about divorce, she may be quite nostalgic.

On the other hand, if Jiumu really divorced, there may be many problems. What bothered him the most was that the reason for the divorce was completely caused by his unilateral reasons.Although he and his wife are currently in a state of cold war, but a year and a half ago, the two were ordinary couples in society, and the relationship between the two was not bad before, and if they go back to the beginning of their marriage, they are even more affectionately in love marriage. Now the relationship between husband and wife is so cold, the only reason is that Rinko, a charming woman, appears beside him, and Jiu Mu is responsible for the discord between husband and wife.How could he abandon his wife who has no particular flaws just because he has a woman he loves?Apart from this indecision, he also cared about his daughter asking him to be more considerate to his mother during the Chinese New Year.He didn't understand why his daughter said that?Perhaps the daughter has also noticed the fact that the relationship between their husband and wife is tense. Can he embark on the road to divorce regardless of his daughter's feelings?

In any case, we have been married for more than 20 years, and it is not so easy to say goodbye, but if you really want to be with Rinko, it is not impossible. Most importantly, Jiu Mu hasn't decided whether he really needs to go to that point. It was Rinko's birthday on February 14th, one month after renting an apartment in Shibuya. At six o'clock in the afternoon that day, Jiu Mu stopped by the flower shop near Shibuya Station and bought a bouquet made of white roses, tulips and western orchids. When he returned to the rental house, Rinko had already arrived and was waiting for him.

Happy birthday! Jiu Mu handed the bouquet to Rinko, Rinko said it was so beautiful, put it under her nose and smelled the fragrance of the flowers, and said: Send it back to you!Handed him a small package tied with a red ribbon. You can tell it's Valentine's Day chocolate at a glance, and there is a card inside, which says to you, my favorite in the world!Although there are not many words, the beautiful font is full of Rinko's tenderness. Maybe you've already received a lot from someone else. But what you send makes me the most happy. Ms. Kinoshita from the investigation room and a former female colleague from the publishing department also gave him chocolates today, but none of them could win over Rinko.

How to celebrate your birthday? These flowers are enough. The last time we met, I asked her what birthday gift she wanted, and Rinko kept saying that she had spent a lot of money on renting a house this year, so she didn't want him to spend any more.There is always something you want, right? I'm thirty-eight. Rinko seems to care more about age than presents. No matter how old he is, his birthday is his birthday Rinko thought for a moment. Can I just make one wish then? certainly. Then take me on a trip.Go to a place where there are no people. Indeed, after being in a small secret room in the city for a long time, I occasionally want to escape to a deserted place. Where are you going? It's not bad to go to the cold places in the north, how about with you, just the two of us watching the snow all day? Listening to Rinko's words, Hisaki imagined the two of them standing in the snow.
