My Tokyo Celebrity Girlfriend Is Love-Struck, What Should I Do? - Chapter 4

I’ll Guard the Home

In the early morning, golden sunlight streamed into the room, glaringly illuminating the handsome face of Kimura Hayata.

Kimura struggled to open his sleepy eyes, a strong sense of laziness washing over him. He yawned deeply before finally waking up.

Instinctively, he reached out his hand towards the bedside, expecting to touch the cold bedside table, but instead, it was a warm and soft surface.

“Hmm?”

In an instant, the last remnants of drowsiness in his mind dissipated.  Kimura stiffly turned his head to the side.

He saw a delicate and lovely face right in front of him.

Suddenly remembering that Asuka stayed in his rented apartment last night, he realized he slept on the sofa.

“Ohayo, Hayata-chan.”

The gentle light outside bathed the girl, creating a soft and light veil-like effect.

Asuka was crouching next to the sofa in a pink pajama set, her long black hair casually spread over her shoulders.

The sunlight on her fair and tender face made her even more radiant and lovely. 

Long eyelashes sparkled with an enticing glow in the morning light, and two charming dimples appeared on her rosy cheeks. 

The soft light created a hazy atmosphere on the girl’s face.

Seeing Kimura looking at her, Asuka’s face lit up with a bright smile, and her white and tender hands rested on the edge of the sofa.

Kimura was a bit absent-minded, and after a while, he finally spoke, “Ohayo.”

Asuka scrutinized the young man lying on the sofa with disheveled hair and a somewhat dull expression. Unable to resist, she extended a finger and poked his cheek.

It sank in and then bounced back.

“What are you doing?” Kimura, lying on the sofa, asked somewhat sluggishly.

Asuka withdrew her finger. “I’m poking Hayata-chan.”

“Hmm?”

“Just poking the cute, just-woke-up Hayata-chan. Couldn’t resist giving it a try.”

Asuka’s moist lips gently pursed, and her eyes narrowed.

Kimura blinked, then rolled over and sat up on the sofa, stretching his arms upward with clenched fists in a lazy stretch.

“Did you sleep well last night?”

“Mm, it’s probably the best night’s sleep since my debut.”

Asuka slowly got up and walked to the window in the living room, reaching out to open it.

“Really?”

A refreshing breeze swept into the room, gently lifting the strands of hair near the girl’s ears and the scattered locks on the young man’s forehead.

“Maybe because Hayata-chan was there, so I slept very peacefully…” Asuka’s brimming eyes looked at Kimura, a faint blush creeping onto her snow-white cheeks.

So cute.

Kimura couldn’t help but swallow, although he always thought his girlfriend was very cute, every time Asuka stood in front of him, he couldn’t help but be amazed.

“I didn’t sleep well.” Kimura took a deep breath, shook his slightly numb arms, and helplessly said, “The sofa is too narrow; it’s uncomfortable and feels cramped. The bed is much better.”

“That’s okay too.”

A soft and gentle voice echoed from the front.

“What?” Kimura looked up.

“Ah! Nothing!”

Asuka’s small face turned crimson, the blush spreading along the slender neck of the girl, and even her dainty ears were tinged with red.

Seemingly uncomfortable under Kimura’s gaze, the snow-white, delicate little feet moved towards the dining table.

“Hayata-chan, hurry up and get up! Breakfast will get cold!”

Kimura watched Asuka’s retreating figure and reached up to touch his neck.

“That’s okay too?” Could it be…?

Suddenly, Kimura shook his head vigorously.

“It’s too early for such thoughts.”

……

After Kimura wiped his damp hair with a towel, he came out of the bathroom, and Asuka was already sitting at the dining table, having breakfast.

Asuka’s pink pajamas were adorned with various cute little cat patterns. Speaking of which, Asuka had wanted to have a cat at home for a long time.

Kimura pulled out the chair at the dining table and sat across from Asuka.

On the table, there was a glass of milk, two slices of bread, two fried eggs sprinkled with salt, a stack of pickled vegetables, and half a fried fish.

“It’s quite a feast.”

Kimura was somewhat surprised. Compared to the usual simple breakfast of milk and bread, the breakfast in front of him could indeed be considered plentiful.

“Itadakimasu.” Kimura put his hands together in front of him.

Asuka, sitting across the table, quietly watched Kimura devour his meal after finishing the last bit of milk in her cup.

This scene had appeared in her mind countless times – preparing a meal with care, and her beloved returning home after a day’s work.

It didn’t require a large house or a lot of money. Just watching him enjoy the food was happiness in her eyes.

A gentle smile played on Asuka’s pink lips, and her fair cheeks radiated warmth.

“Are you going to school today, Asuka?”

Kimura, who was busy eating, suddenly lifted his head and met Asuka’s clear and bright eyes, feeling a bit stunned.

“Huh?” Asuka blinked, breaking free from her thoughts. “Go to school?”

“Yeah, after all, graduation is just around the corner. There should be a lot of things to handle at school, right?”

With a mouthful of fried egg, Kimura continued, “In Tokyo’s universities, graduation season is usually in March. Now, we are in the second half of our senior year. This time is generally a bit busier than usual, not only with academic tasks but also with the hustle and bustle of planning for the future.”

For Asuka, a rising idol who debuted during her university years, the school had relaxed some academic requirements, and she also handled school exams privately. Graduating smoothly from university was not a problem.

As for Kimura, there was one pressing matter – his graduation project. 

As a student majoring in directing at Kiyomi Art University, he needed to submit his graduation work, a film he had directed himself. 

However, with his daily struggles to make ends meet, he had little time to shoot a film. Moreover, he hadn’t even found a script or cast yet.

Apart from Asuka, the only familiar person from university was his roommate from the dormitory. 

Although he had moved out since the beginning of his third year to rent an apartment, his relationship with his roommate remained close.

“Today… let’s forget about it.” After tilting her head and pondering for a moment, Asuka dismissed the idea of accompanying Kimura to school. “Today, a courier service will deliver my luggage, and I need to be at home to sign for it.”

“Luggage?”

As soon as Kimura uttered the words, he immediately realized. 

Yesterday, Asuka mentioned moving in together, and the delivery of her belongings was indeed necessary. 

The fact that the courier service was delivering today indicated that Asuka had already planned to move in with him before yesterday.

As for why she didn’t stay at her own home… Well, Asuka had a younger brother who just started university, and dealing with situations like this  was something he preferred to avoid.

Besides, when your girlfriend wants to live with you, do you really ask, “Why not stay at your own place?”

Asuka didn’t say anything, just a slight lift of her mouth. Her fair feet happily swayed in front of the chair.

“Alright.” Kimura sighed. “Then I’ll go alone.”

“Don’t worry, Hayata-chan. I’ll guard the home.”

Asuka said cheerfully, presenting a cute and obedient appearance that was quite different from the lively and enthusiastic female star in front of the camera.
