Chapter 37 Fish and bear paws, I want them all

That night, Hoshinomiya Mitsuki drove to the residence of her best friend Tachibana Haruna.

He took the elevator upstairs and instead of ringing the doorbell, he skillfully entered the password, opened the door and walked in.

As a result, we saw the well-proportioned and curvy Tachibana Haruna lying on the sofa like a salted fish that had lost its dreams. She had a slender waist, a flat belly, and round and elastic buttocks.

She seemed to have just woken up, and said lazily: "Meiyue, the book is on the table for you, and the bag is ready."

Hoshinomiya Mitsuki glanced at her and said:
"Hina, it's already so late and you're still sleeping. Don't you realize how old you are? Why are you still wearing a little girl's sailor suit at home?"

"I just suddenly wanted to reminisce about my lost youth, and to be honest, you, Mitsuki, are the only one around me who is not married yet."

When she heard the forbidden words "age" and "marriage", Hoshinomiya Mitsuki's face suddenly darkened.

"Didn't you spend your youth in dreams? Who told you to sleep all day and never leave the house? It would be strange if you could find a partner like this."

"What can I do about it? Do you think I want to do that? Who made me unable to fall asleep every night? How can I not feel sleepy during the day?"

Tachibana Haruna sighed softly, and sighed with mixed feelings:
"Miyue, to be honest, I want to fall in love more and more now. It turns out that a person's thoughts will change over time. I used to think it was good to be alone, but now I feel lonely..."

"Since you want to, then go find one. Do you want me to ask my former senior sister Ayako to help you keep an eye out for someone suitable?"

"Miyue, falling in love is not that simple. I have very high standards. There are not many men in the world who can satisfy me..."

Tachibana Haruna sighed heavily and continued:
"Besides, I've never been in love before, and of course I hope my first love has never been in love either."

"But a man who is outstanding, excellent, and good-looking must have a lot of girls around him. How could he not have been in love before? Even if there really is such a person who slipped through the net, can I still meet him?"

Having said that, Tachibana Haruna raised her hands and grabbed her head impatiently.

Hearing this, Hoshinomiya Mitsuki didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "I think that you, Haruna, are in frequent contact with patients and you have psychological problems. Otherwise, why would you say such strange things?"

Tachibana Haruna immediately retorted: "What's so strange about that? It's quite abnormal for someone like you to have no needs in that area. Women are not made of wood. Both men and women have normal physiological needs. Moreover, once men and women reach the age of 30, women will start to really exert their strength, while men will start to decline..."

"..."

Hoshinomiya Mitsuki remained silent.

"But, Mitsuki, do you really plan to be single for the rest of your life?"

"Yeah, I think it's nice to be alone."

Hoshinomiya Mitsuki walked to the table, picked up the books and put them in the bag silently.

"Could it be because of that student who saw something?"

"How...how could it be because of Shimizu-san!?"

"I didn't say it was him."

Tachibana Haruna looked at Hoshinomiya Mitsuki with a suspicious look, as if she wanted to see through her.

"Miyuki, you really don't need to care about that dream." Tachibana Haruna said softly, her tone full of understanding and concern.

"Who said I care!" Hoshinomiya Mitsuki responded a little angrily, but her voice revealed a hint of guilt.

As if to cover up her guilty conscience, Hoshinomiya Mitsuki continued: "Besides, it was just a dream. Who would care about a dream? You told me that yourself." "Yes, I did say that, but that was what you wanted me to say."

As Tachibana Haruna spoke, she stretched again, showing her lazy and charming side.

"I never asked you to say anything like that."

"You didn't say it, but you think so in your heart. Don't forget what I do."

Tachibana Haruna was Hoshinomiya Mizuki's best friend in college and a serious doctor of psychology. But at the same time, sometimes her thoughts are easily seen through, which makes her very annoying.

Hoshinomiya Mitsuki rolled her eyes at Tachibana Haruna, who was lying on the sofa playing with her phone, but suddenly she froze for a moment, as if she had thought of something, her eyes wandering:

"Well, that...about eating."

"Oh, he agreed to that, but I won't go. I don't want to be a nuisance to you."

"What did you say!?"

Hoshinomiya Mitsuki's face was full of black lines and she glared at Tachibana Haruna fiercely.

"Mizuki, this is not like you. I remember last time you pretended to be drunk and made up a lame lie that your boyfriend had dumped you, hoping that the student would take you home so that you could stay with him for a while longer."

"Didn't I tell you not to mention this again?!"

"What's the matter? We are all adults now. But I advise you to forget about that person as soon as possible. Although your student does look exactly like him, they are not the same person after all. You should know this better than me, right?"

"And from the conversation I had with him just now, I can tell that your student has his own ideas and thoughts, and he's very opinionated. His conversation doesn't sound like that of a high school student at all."

At this point, Tachibana Haruna's previously lazy look became noticeably serious: "The most important thing is that he is a person who follows his heart."

"From the heart?"

Hoshinomiya Mitsuki looked confused and didn't seem to understand.

"Mizuki, haven't you ever had this experience? For example, sometimes when you order food in a restaurant, you clearly want to change the taste and try coffee once in a while. But in the end, for some reason, you still order your favorite juice as usual."

"..."

Hoshinomiya Mitsuki remained silent. She certainly understood what Tachibana Haruna said.

Just like the hippocampus effect, people sometimes suddenly feel that they have experienced a similar situation before, but they can't remember it.

Just like the phenomenon described by Tachibana Haruna, although these two phenomena are different, they are both indescribable and real.

But because these phenomena don’t actually have much impact on your life, it’s the same whether you drink coffee or juice, so they usually just pass and you won’t take them too seriously.

"But your student, Mitsuki, does everything out of his true inner thoughts and feelings, and is not influenced by external pressure or expectations. He has his own persistence and principles."

"Perhaps it's out of the intuition of a psychiatrist. I think if it were him, he might be able to follow his heart and order the cup of 'coffee' he wanted, or even order the cup of 'orange juice' together..."

After that, Tachibana Haruna yawned again and said, "Of course, maybe it's just like what you said, Mitsuki, I stayed with the patient for too long, and I have some mental problems."

At this time, Hoshinomiya Mitsuki had already stopped replying, but her mind was already full of thoughts...
