Ke Xue Bartender

Chapter 164 A family of three

In order to attend Xiao Wu and Xia Jiang's wedding and to confirm Ichiro Tsuomoto's condition, Lin Ye boarded a ship to Tsuomoto Island on Saturday morning.

The ship was chartered by the Uzumoto family, and the passengers on board were all guests attending the wedding.

On the way, Lin Ye learned about the custom of the Tsumoto family from the guests, which is that the Tsumoto family's wedding must be held on this Tsumoto Island.

The ship docked at nine o'clock that evening and someone was responsible for receiving us on the shore.

The guests were taken by bus to the hotel on the island, which was owned by the Yamoto family and had plenty of rooms.

Lin Ye was assigned to Room 907 on the ninth floor.

The hotel room was very clean and looked like no one usually stayed there.

After all, there are very few tourists on the island, and most of the time, these rooms are empty.

Lin Ye lay in bed, but couldn't fall asleep. He looked at the time and it was not yet 11 o'clock.

At this time of day, he is still working in the store.

This time, in order to attend the wedding of the Tsumoto family, he simply took two days off.

Ever since Poirot Bar and himself were featured in the newspapers, the number of customers in the store has increased dramatically. He is a little tired from the high-intensity business every day.

It's nice to take a vacation and have some rest.

That’s the good thing about being a store manager. When you don’t want to open the business, you can just close the store and take a vacation.

The next morning, the wedding started at ten o'clock and ended at one o'clock in the afternoon.

Miss Xia Jiang was very beautiful in her white wedding dress, and she was very eye-catching when standing next to Takeshi Tsunamoto in a suit.

Lin Ye found Ichiro Yamoto in the crowd. The young man looked like he hadn't slept well for several days and looked much more haggard.

It seems that Miss Xia Jiang has already talked to him.

Lin Ye also saw Musashi Yasumoto. The 72-year-old man still stood tall and full of majesty.

But when he looked at his granddaughter Xia Jiang, his eyes became soft, and even a little moist when he gave a speech.

It seems that because of Xia Jiang's parents' affairs, he is particularly fond of the only daughter left by them.

After the wedding, Xiao Wu found Lin Ye again and invited him to take the cruise ship chartered by the Yamoto family back to Tokyo.

The cruise ship departed at four o'clock in the afternoon, and Lin Ye arrived at the port at three o'clock.

A three-decker white cruise ship was quietly moored at the shore.

When seeing this cruise ship, Lin Ye recalled the days when he worked as a bartender in a bar on the sea.

It was a round-the-world cruise ship, even larger than this one. In addition to a restaurant, there was also a bar and all kinds of entertainment facilities on board.

At that time, he was not famous yet. In order to see the world, he applied for the job as a bartender on that ship. He sailed with the ship for three months and met many different guests.

Lin Ye went up to the deck. The deck was spacious and equipped with tables and chairs for resting, as well as parasols.

"Are you Mr. Lin?" There was a bald old man in a suit on the deck. When he saw him, he immediately came up to him.

Lin Ye nodded.

"My name is Kenji Suzuki, and I am the butler of the Usumoto family. Your room is over here, please follow me."

"Thank you."

Under the guidance of Butler Suzuki, Lin Ye found his room.

After the ship sailed out of the harbor, he returned to the deck.

As soon as he stepped onto the deck, he saw a familiar figure standing at the bow.

Ichiro Yamoto.

He was burning a stack of drawings.

He held a thick stack of drawings in his left hand and waved the burning drawings with his right hand. The drawings turned into ashes in his hand and were then blown away by the sea breeze.

Burn one, then burn the next one.

"What are you burning?" Lin Ye walked up and asked.

Ichiro Uzumoto did not answer, but instead set fire to the remaining drawings and threw them into the sea.

Lin Ye looked at the flying drawings, and on each of them was Xia Jiang.

"The opportunity for me to learn painting was because of Sister Xia Jiang."

Ichiro Uzumoto spoke as if he was talking to himself.

"I wanted to leave her most beautiful appearance on the drawing paper and wanted to be the person closest to her. But in the end it was just my wishful thinking and my delusion."

Lin Ye listened quietly. "Grandpa is right. This is an impossible dream. I should have given up long ago."

“I will never paint again…”

Ichiro Yasumoto turned around and left dejectedly.

Lin Ye looked at his back and shook his head slightly.

It must be a terrible feeling to have dreams and love shattered at the same time.

But love is something that cannot be forced.

Now, he wouldn't kill his own grandfather, right?
Lin Ye turned his head and looked at the sea. After a long silence, he said with emotion:

"Alas, love is really complicated. I don't understand it."

"Pfft, haha."

A familiar laugh came from behind.

Lin Ye turned around and saw Xiaolan and Conan appear in front of him, and his eyes widened.

"Xiaolan, why are you on the boat?"

Xiaolan said, "Dad received a commission from the island, but he misremembered the time of the return ferry ticket on the way back. Fortunately, we were able to board this luxury cruise ship and meet Mr. Lin."

Xiaolan glanced at Lin Ye, unable to hide her smile: "And I also heard your feelings about love."

Xiaolan originally planned to take Conan to the deck to enjoy the breeze and see the sea view, but she saw a back that looked very similar to Lin Ye, so she wanted to come up to confirm.

When I walked behind Lin Ye, I just heard him expressing his feelings about love.

Lin Ye smiled awkwardly and changed the subject: "So Mr. Mao Li is also on the ship?"

"Well, he'll probably be here in a little while."

Xiaolan walked to the bow of the boat, opened her arms, and let the moist sea breeze blow on her body.

She was wearing a short-sleeved top and denim shorts, and the setting sun cast a warm glow on her arms and long legs.

“The sunset is so beautiful.”

[It would be nice if I could enjoy this beautiful view with Shinichi]

Lin Ye glanced at Conan beside him.

Conan was staring at Xiaolan's profile, as if fascinated. When he noticed Lin Ye's gaze, he shyly withdrew his gaze.

"By the way, why is Mr. Lin on this ship?" Xiaolan turned her head, her long hair fluttering in the sea breeze.

"I'm here to attend a wedding." And to prevent a murder.

"Wedding?" Xiaolan was stunned.

"Yes, my wedding with Xiao Wu."

Uzumoto Natsue took Uzumoto Takeshi's arm and the two walked up from the back of the deck.

When Xiaolan saw the intimacy between the two, her eyes lit up.

"Are you married?"

"Yes." Yumoto Natsue leaned his head on Xiaowu's shoulder and smiled sweetly.

"Hello, everyone." Takeshi Yamoto greeted them shyly.

"Congratulations, you two are such a perfect match." Xiaolan's eyes sparkled.

Conan's little face also turned red. Lin Ye couldn't help but smile when he saw the scene in his mind of him and Xiaolan wearing dresses.

"Thank you. You three look like a family."

"Ah? What, a family..." After hearing what Natsue Osamu said, Xiaolan looked at Lin Ye next to her, then at Conan, her face immediately turned red, and she explained in a panic:

"You misunderstood. Mr. Lin and I are just friends, and this is not my son."

Yumoto Natsue covered his mouth and laughed, "Haha, I'm just kidding, little sister, you're so cute. You look so young, you should still be a high school student, of course you can't have a son this old."

Conan, who was in fantasy time, heard what Natsue Uzumaki said and glanced at her speechlessly.

[Really? This joke isn't funny at all.]

[But what if Xiaolan really falls in love with this man]

Conan glanced at Lin Ye's face and suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

[No, absolutely not, I will never allow this to happen]
