Chapter 53. No boy would like Kobayashi Osamu.
For the past few days, Chio Kobayashi has been in a very good mood.
She was dating an extremely wealthy boyfriend who was willing to spend one million yen on her every day, a fact known to everyone in her social circle.
In the eyes of some gossipy girls, she is definitely dating a middle-aged man over 40 years old and making money by selling her body.
Whenever those people had such thoughts, she would take out her smartphone and show the girls the photos she had secretly taken.
The person above is a boy who looks listless and somewhat melancholy, with messy hair and bangs that are so long they almost cover his eyes.
Judging from his appearance, he's a high school student like her, very handsome, the type of guy girls would like.
Even after going to such lengths, some people still won't believe it, asking, "Having photos doesn't prove anything."
So she found photos of the two of them together at various events, and the other person was immediately speechless. When he learned that she was generous, he immediately started saying a lot of flattering things to her.
She enjoys this kind of life; she gets attention whenever she sends a message, and no one questions what she says.
She had become dependent on that feeling of being high above others, and she looked forward to every day from now on. At one point, she even felt that the work she used to hate had become wonderful.
"Kobayashi, it's your turn to clean today."
"Okay, Tachibana-senpai."
"Also... here's your salary. The store manager asked me to give it to you."
"Ah! Thank you for your hard work, senior!"
As soon as she finished her work at the convenience store, Xiaolin returned home. Ignoring her rumbling stomach, she curled all her hair with a curling iron and then applied various expensive cosmetics to her face.
I'm going out to buy everything I want today!
After leaving home, she arrived at the agreed location, turned her head and looked around, and soon saw a tall figure with his hands in his pockets not far away.
"Xiao Xun~ Good evening~"
Do you have any friends today?
Seeing that she was all alone, Hoshino Kaoru subconsciously looked behind her.
For three consecutive days—Saturday, Sunday, and Monday—the trio's purchasing desire was frighteningly strong, and they spent almost all of their daily allowance.
"No, I'm the only one here today."
"Where are those two guys?"
"Them... I didn't contact them today. Hanako and Ayano asked me why, and I told them I couldn't today, I... I'm not available."
Xiaolin spoke hesitantly, her thoughts completely exposed on her face.
"Oh, so you only want to spend the money by yourself today, right?"
Kaoru exposed her without hesitation, and after saying "I hate you," Kobayashi took the initiative to lead the way.
What happened next... was exactly as he had guessed. Kobayashi took him to various shops selling high-end women's clothing, where the prices were shockingly high, ten times that of Shibuya 109.
The vain Kobayashi chose expensive clothes costing over 100,000 yen, and quickly reached her daily spending limit.
The moment she paid, her eyes lit up, and even carrying a huge pile of clothes on her way home, she didn't feel tired at all.
When they arrived at the crossroads where they were to part ways, Kobayashi put the clothes she had bought on the ground, stretched out her hands to Kaoru, and planned to hug him before they parted.
"Did you have fun today?" Kaoru asked somewhat coldly.
"Mmm! I'm so happy!"
"Really? That's good. Have a happy day tomorrow too."
Xun didn't even have the thought of saying another word; she turned around and prepared to leave.
"Hey! You haven't hugged me yet!"
Kobayashi picked up a paper shopping bag and jogged over to Kaoru's side, her cheeks puffed out, clearly unhappy with her boyfriend's attitude.
"Oh, how about a hug?"
Seeing that she wanted to be hugged, Xun took a few steps back, stopped, and stretched out her hands to her.
The other party pounced at him without warning, but he dodged to the side.
Xiao Lin, who couldn't brake in time, hit his head on a roadside utility pole, seeing stars and even losing his balance.
"What...what are you doing! Why are you moving away!"
Xiaolin, clutching her forehead, squatted on the ground, almost crying from the pain.
"You're too vain, Xiaolin. No boy would like a girl like you."
Xun turned around, tossed the receipt for the clothes behind her, and talked as she walked away.
"Think it over carefully. If you think this is the right thing to do, then continue with it."
"What the heck! This guy is suddenly saying such weird things!"
Xiaolin angrily stuffed the receipt into her pocket and carried the expensive clothes back to her apartment.
Because her mother has been hospitalized, she lives alone at home.
She made a simple omelet rice, sent a message to her hospitalized mother to say hello, and then opened social media. The messages in the chat group immediately flooded her phone screen.
The conversation revolved around her, discussing what she had bought that day.
Seeing everyone talking about her made her feel very satisfied, and even the bland omelet rice suddenly tasted better than before.
After dinner, Xiaolin cleaned the house and piled up the cardboard boxes she didn't need, intending to sell them as scrap.
"Oh, right! Last month's salary has been settled."
She found the envelope in the inside pocket of her pleated skirt, tore off the seal, and counted the money. Last month, she had worked more than 100 hours, and her salary was... 100,000 yen.
100,000 yen...that's so little...
Looking at the expensive clothes that almost filled the entire bed, and the handbag that she had to work for several months to buy, there was a lot of clothing on the bedside table.
If we sell these... the money we earn can pay for Mom's hospital bills...
She frowned, as if making a decision.
"No... I'll find another way to pay for Mom's hospital fees, but these are absolutely not to be sold!"
She placed the 100,000 yen she had worked so hard to earn on the bedside table, preparing to go to the hospital the next day to settle part of the debt. Then she lay in bed, hugged a dress, and took a deep breath.
Ah... I'm completely satisfied with just this.
"Hanako and Ayano must be very curious about what I did today, so I'll show them."
Xiaolin found her phone, opened the camera, took a picture, and was about to send it when she inexplicably felt a little tired.
After putting down her phone, she remembered what Kaoru had told her.
[Kobayashi, you're too vain. No boy would like a girl like you.]
[If you believe this is the right thing to do, then continue.]
She had already experienced three days of her dream life, and the thought of going through the same thing again tomorrow suddenly made her feel... that this kind of life didn't seem as exciting as it had been at the beginning.
She even found it a bit troublesome to show off in front of others, to receive their praise, and to be the one who attracted the most attention...
She felt that doing this kind of thing was tiring, and she wouldn't feel as excited and satisfied as she did at the beginning.
Is it just my imagination?
She seems... a little tired of this.
"What... exactly happened...?"
Looking at the faded, old ceiling above her head, Kobayashi curled up on the bed, and Kaoru's face, filled with disgust for her, uncontrollably appeared before her eyes.
"Does someone like me... really not attract any boys...?"
