Female-dominated society: A beautiful boy from the countryside near Tokyo

Chapter 112 Convenience Store, Kitagawa Mai

"I think you're all wrong. Aside from being friends, if that boy were that woman's childhood sweetheart, he could still call her 'sister'."

"I don't believe it, I won't listen. How could that woman do such a thing? That boy isn't even a college student."

"That's why I said it might be a child groom. As I just said, the clothes that woman was wearing alone cost at least 500,000 yen."

Furthermore, she and that boy don't look alike. I think that woman must be a rich second-generation heiress who has long had her eye on that boy and wants to raise him as a pet.

Some people around them were whispering, but neither Hoshino Makoto nor Shimizu Rin heard them.

"Sister, there's a convenience store up ahead, let's go in and take a look."

Hoshino Makoto was being led by Shimizu Rin when he saw a large convenience store on the side of the road ahead.

The convenience store is called Sato Convenience Store, and from the outside, the goods inside look absolutely dazzling.

"No problem, Xiao Zhen, whatever you want to buy, I'll pay."

Shimizu Rin released Hoshino Makoto's hand and pinched his cheek.

Amidst the envious and jealous gazes of those around them, they took Hoshino Makoto's hand again and walked into the convenience store.

Food section inside Sato Convenience Store.

The two women walked side by side, each carrying a box of goods.

The one on the left is pretty and looks to be in her early twenties.

The one on the right has a refined and attractive appearance; she's probably in her early twenties, and her beautiful oval face easily wins people's favor.

"Mai, is something making you happy?"

The beautiful Kato Koe looked at her friend Kitagawa Mai's pretty oval face.

Her beautiful face held a pure curiosity.

"Why would you say that, Xiaohui?"

Kitagawa Mai, carrying the box in her hands, paused slightly, her fair, oval face showing a hint of surprise.

She looked at her friend and said with some doubt.

"Nonsense, haven't you looked in the mirror these past few days? Your lips haven't turned down at all."

"Really? Was I that obvious?"

Hearing her friend Kato Koe's words, Kitagawa Mai couldn't help but think of the job that her senior, Shimizu Yuzuki, had found for her a few nights ago.

Her lips unconsciously began to curve upwards again, her eyebrows and eyes slightly upturned, her bright eyes filled with joy.

"Look, look, that's it, Mai, you're smiling again."

Kato Koe stopped in front of Kitagawa Mai. Seeing Kitagawa Mai like this, her expression became even more curious.

"Wait a minute, I know now. I suddenly understand why you've been so happy these past few days, Mai."

When Kato Koe saw Kitagawa Mai's expression, her eyes lit up slightly, as if she had thought of something.

Kato Koe's gaze towards Kitagawa Mai instantly turned envious.

"Huh? Xiaohui, how did you know?"

Upon hearing Kato Koe's words, Kitagawa Mai's face showed surprise and confusion.

How did Xiaohui find out about the job her senior had found for her?

"Hehehe, Mai, I guessed it. After all, the manager deliberately sent me away that day and then left you to talk alone."

Kato Koe smiled slightly smugly, nudged Kitagawa Mai twice with her elbow, and then said:

"Mai, did the shop manager talk to you about Toshiya-kun the other day?"

"Don't deny it, it's absolutely true, it must be true, it's certain."

Kato Koe chuckled, her smile almost impossible to hide, nor did she intend to.

"Xiao Hui, you knew about this too!?"

"Haha, of course, that's easy to guess, okay?"

Kato Koe raised her head and said smugly, "After all, ever since you came to the store, Toshiya-kun's eyes have been on you most of the time."

As Kato Koe said this, she looked at Kitagawa Mai with a mischievous smile on her face.

"Mai, just tell me, have you started living off a woman? The store manager promised to hand over Toshiya-kun to you that day."

"That's why you've been so happy these past few days, Mai."

It turns out Xiaohui didn't know that her senior had found her a job.

Kitagawa Mai didn't react at first when she heard what Kato Koe said.

But the next moment, Kitagawa Mai realized what was happening, and her bright eyes widened.

"Hey? What are you saying, Xiaohui?"

"See, see, I've figured it out now, Mai, are you still trying to pretend?"

Kato Koe nudged Kitagawa Mai twice with her elbow: "Alright, Mai, you don't need to pretend anymore. You must have found a gigolo. Otherwise, why have you been so happy these past few days since the manager came to you that night?"

"It must be because the store manager knew that Junye had a crush on you, and she thought you were a trustworthy person, so she agreed to your relationship with Junye."

Kato Koe looked at Kitagawa Mai with an expression that said, "Mai, you don't need to pretend anymore."

"How could that be? I'm still a college student, I don't want to be in a relationship yet."

"The store manager called me out that night about work-related matters. Xiaohui, what are you thinking?"

Kitagawa Mai's lips parted slightly; she was about to say that the shop manager had indeed contacted her that night about Sato Toshiya.

But she couldn't think of a good way to explain it to Kato Koe right away.

After all, the store manager didn't want to matchmake Sato Shunya with her, and she didn't like Sato Shunya either.

Kitagawa Mai just wants to study hard and make money right now; she feels that's what she should be doing at her age.

"Huh? Since Mai, you didn't end up living off a woman, why have you been so happy these past few days ever since the manager talked to you?"

Kato Koe let out a surprised "Eh!" as she looked at Kitagawa Mai's beautiful oval face and the serious expression on it.

Kato Kome could tell that her friend wasn't lying to her.

Since he didn't end up living off a woman, why is his friend so happy these past few days?

"I recently found a part-time job, and the pay is pretty good, which is why I've been so happy these past few days."

Although Kitagawa Mai and Kato Kome had a good relationship, she knew that her friend was not a bad person and kept her mouth shut.

However, Kitagawa Mai still didn't tell Kato Megumi about her senior, Shimizu Yuzuki, and her affair; she only mentioned it briefly.

After all, Kitagawa Mai felt that although her senior, Shimizu Yuzuki, had already agreed to tutor her senior's younger sister in her subject.

However, she hasn't officially started tutoring classes yet, and things haven't really been settled.

Therefore, Kitagawa Mai did not tell Kato Megumi about her tutoring job.

"I see. As expected, college graduates have more job opportunities, like Mai."

When Kato Koe heard what Kitagawa Mai said, she didn't doubt it.

However, the interest he showed on his face was clearly much less than at the beginning.

But the next moment, Kato Koe glanced casually to the side.
