Eccentric Youth's Bizarre Way of Thinking

Rona Muir was a bit confused: "Huh?"

Was she really worried about Jiro Hirayama?

This is Japan!

This is Kobe!

This is the headquarters of the Yamaguchi-gumi!

This is the Hirayama Family Estate!

This is Jiro Hirayama's home turf!

What could possibly happen to him here?

Jiro Hirayama spoke with extra emphasis: "I'll be fine!"

Rona Muir was still confused: "Huh?!"

"I'm heading out." Jiro Hirayama looked at Rona Muir with determination. "Wait for me at home."

With those words, Jiro Hirayama grabbed a few vials and walked out the door.

Rona Muir sat on the sofa, stunned for quite a while.

So... he's really going to meet her?

Meeting his ex right in front of me?

And she's his cousin's fiancée?

And he just left without even explaining himself?

Rona Muir blinked, only realizing Jiro Hirayama had truly left when she heard the front door close.

Rona Muir let out a bitter laugh. What kind of drama is this?

A vague discomfort lingered in her heart.

Jiro Hirayama’s voice continued: "Benihime said she has something really important to tell me. I thought about it, and the most important thing is that I haven’t drawn Nana’s blood this month yet. Without that, I can’t make a specimen for our future child’s keepsake. I must remember to do it today."

Rona Muir was utterly speechless.

What on earth is this?!

He still hasn’t given up on drawing my blood for a specimen!

Jiro Hirayama’s flat, almost robotic voice continued: "Ah, we’ve arrived at the hotel."

Following his gaze, Rona Muir saw that they really were at the hotel entrance.

The smiling face of the handsome greeter at the door was magnified on the screen, every detail clear.

Wait... is this a camera on Jiro Hirayama?

Is he filming this?

Is he livestreaming everything?

He’s livestreaming his meeting with Benihime Inoue?

Suddenly, Rona Muir calmed down.

She seemed to finally understand Jiro Hirayama’s way of thinking.

A normal guy would either secretly meet his first love, and have some forbidden romance before she gets married... Yeah, that’s how it always goes in Japanese adult dramas.

Or he’d tell his wife, act all righteous about not going, then sneak out anyway.

Or maybe say nothing, but just not go at all.

Or say he’ll go, but then actually not go.

But Jiro Hirayama’s logic is totally different.

See, I told you exactly where I’m going and who I’m meeting.

Then I livestream it for you, just to prove I’m not lying.

Look at me, what an honest guy I am!

What’s the point of other people swearing up and down?

I’ll just livestream it for you!

Only a livestream is truly real!

I don’t trick you, I don’t sweet-talk you, I don’t hide anything from you.

Just watch the livestream!

Now that Rona Muir had figured out Jiro Hirayama’s mindset, she became even calmer. She ordered herself a juice and watched his livestream while sipping it.

The camera shook as it entered the elevator.

Soon, it stopped at a certain floor. Jiro Hirayama quickly walked to a room and rang the doorbell.

Three seconds later, the door opened. A beautiful woman stood in the doorway and said to the camera, "You’re finally here, I’ve been waiting for you a long time."

"Mm." Jiro Hirayama replied with his usual single word.

The two of them entered the room. From what the camera could see, it was a very large suite.

Benihime Inoue had just showered and was only wearing the hotel’s pajamas. She sat on the sofa and complained, "You’re always so cold. If you hadn’t always been so absent-minded back then, how could I have ended up with Haruo Hirayama?"

"Mm." Jiro Hirayama still wore his poker face and sat across from her. "What do you want?"

His straightforward question made Benihime Inoue’s eyes instantly redden.

"Jiro, do you really not miss me? Are you really not sad? After all, we were engaged at first!" Benihime Inoue looked at Jiro Hirayama in disbelief. "Do you really not care at all that I’m going to be your cousin-in-law?"

"Mm." Jiro Hirayama replied, then thought for a moment and added, "Nana cares a little."

Watching the video, Rona Muir suddenly spat out her juice.

A servant immediately brought over a towel and knelt down to clean the floor.

Rona Muir kept watching.

She’d waited so many years, she just couldn’t wait anymore—that’s why she went to Haruo Hirayama!

But after guarding her feelings for so many years, in the end, a Chinese woman got the prize?

Unforgivable!

Benihime Inoue’s eyes darted—she seemed to get an idea and moved closer to Jiro Hirayama.

"Why are you suddenly so close?" Jiro Hirayama pulled away. "Don’t get too close—Nana wouldn’t like it."

Benihime Inoue suppressed her annoyance and said, "I’m about to marry your cousin. Don’t you really want to..."

Seeing Benihime Inoue trying to seduce Jiro Hirayama, Rona Muir slammed her cup down on the table and snorted, "Hmph!"

Benihime Inoue spoke in a seductive tone, "I haven’t done anything with your cousin yet, Jiro. Don’t you want to..."

"You’re sick. You need medicine." Suddenly, Jiro Hirayama, like a magician, pulled out a syringe from his pocket and jabbed it into Benihime Inoue’s vein, injecting the liquid without hesitation.

Benihime Inoue’s face changed dramatically. She screamed in terror, clutching her neck, "What did you inject me with? Oh my god! Why would you bring something like this to a date? Jiro Hirayama, are you crazy? I’m... ah..."

Jiro Hirayama stretched lazily and said, "Ah, what a boring meeting! I’d rather go home to Nana."

After saying that, Jiro Hirayama turned and left the room. The camera showed a door, then switched abruptly to the hotel corridor.

"This hotel is pretty nice, looks like the environment’s good." Jiro Hirayama said to himself, relaxed. "But it’s still not as comfy as my place. My test tubes and Nana are way more interesting."

Seeing Jiro Hirayama’s reaction, Rona Muir couldn’t help but smile.

Even though he put her and his test tubes in the same category, Rona Muir wasn’t upset at all.

On the contrary, she felt strangely warm inside.

Turns out, this is how Jiro Hirayama puts her at ease.

He really is one of a kind.

Cecilia Gu called, and Rona Muir quickly picked up: "Cecilia, what’s up?"

Cecilia Gu said in surprise, "Huh? What happened over there that put you in such a good mood?"

Rona Muir told Cecilia Gu everything that just happened.

Cecilia Gu laughed for ages before saying, "Your man really is something else! Even the way he proves himself is so creative!"
