After rebirth, I became Tokyo Sentimental

Chapter 117 116. Whose husband is this?
The Japanese-style private room fell into silence again.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

The moment the words fell, it was as if a time-stop machine was pressed, and even the air became sticky.

Haranoji looked at Yuko Shimizu.

Yuko Shimizu was also looking at him.

The two looked at each other.

Suzumiya Saka also felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. She frowned and looked at the two people's faces with suspicion, feeling confused and uncertain.

Because compared to Harano Tsukasa, who still looked normal at the moment, Aunt Shimizu in front of him looked very abnormal.

Not only did his eyes become complicated and sad.

Even his eyes were slightly red.

Looking more closely, Suzumiya Saka could even see moist and crystal tears gathering in the corners of the other person's eyes, as if they were about to burst out at the next moment.

Not right.

It's not right.

Suzumiya Saka recalled the words of comfort she had just said, and after careful review she actually found some possible reasons that may have led to the current situation, but after repeated consideration for a while, she was not sure.

This Qingshui Auntie...

Was it because she had been single for over 40 years and had no children, so she was so moved that she cried after being treated as a mother?
I was touched by a sad thing again.

When she heard that she and Harano Tsukasa were getting married, she imagined a grand wedding scene in her mind, and then felt sad because she probably wouldn't have such a time.

It's not impossible.

People who live alone for too long usually have psychological obstacles and problems of one kind or another. The main reason is that they have experienced too much, but they have seen all kinds of life but have not had the opportunity to experience them all, especially when they did not get what they wanted. They will feel sensitive when they see such things.

But even so...

This auntie seems to be too sensitive.

Just as Suzumiya Saka's thoughts were growing like wild grass, and she came to her senses and organized her words to break the silence, the closed door of the private room was knocked, forcing her to hold back what she wanted to say.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Please come in."

Yuan Ye Si turned sideways and spoke.

The antique white paper wooden frame sliding door was gently pushed open, and a waitress wearing a light green kimono and wooden clogs stood at the door with a copper kettle in her hand. She bowed slightly and asked, "Do you need more soup?"

"Yes." Yuanye Si said immediately.

The best way to break the internal deadlock is undoubtedly to intervene with external forces, and he certainly understands this.

But from a management perspective.

When two internal candidates are competing fiercely for promotion, the external talent must also have considerable strength to be able to do the job.

So does the waitress have this qualification?
of course not.

So Yuanye Si also made up his mind.

Use another method to shift the focus of this deadlock situation where the king cannot meet the king to another matter.

This store is a century-old shop, and there are even lanterns hanging outside. According to Yuko Shimizu, she had to pay extra to make a reservation. The store is not small, so the service staff have all received professional training.

The waitress was very polite. She took off her clogs and stepped onto the tatami with the pot in hand. She first bowed to Harano Tsukasa, the only man in the room, and then knelt down and gently reminded him, "Excuse me, please move aside to avoid the soup splashing on you."

"Thank you for the trouble." Yuan Ye Si nodded.

After getting permission, the waitress first used a serving chopstick to push the vegetables that were rolling in the soup in the Sukiyaki pot to one side, making room for them before carefully adding water. The risk was almost zero.

But at this time.

Harano Tsukasa, who was originally leaning back slightly, opened his mouth, an expression as if he was about to sneeze, and then leaned forward towards the waitress, especially swinging his arms straight towards the copper kettle in her hand.

"Ah!"

"Zizi!"

The waitress who was concentrating on pouring soup was bumped by Harano Tsukasa. She lost her balance and leaned to the side, but she didn't fall down directly.

But the copper pot she was holding with both hands was obviously not so lucky and was hit directly by the other hand.

Seeing that the other person's movements of holding the handle of the pot with his right hand and supporting the bottom of the pot with his left hand were too professional, Yuanye Si was afraid that if he didn't use enough strength, it would not be effective, so he used about 70% of his strength. Considering his current physical fitness, 70% of his strength is equivalent to the full strength of an adult man. You can imagine how much strength this is.

So the copper pot that the waitress was holding tightly was knocked away, and even the lid of the pot hit the wall like a cannonball, and it spun twice when it fell.

Naturally, a lot of the broth originally stored in the copper pot spilled, which scared Shimizu Yuko and Suzumiya Saka, who were kneeling on the tatami, and their bodies leaned backwards due to the human body's instinctive reaction.

As for Yuanye Si.

It is motionless.

But he was not stupid enough to use his face to catch the broth that was spilling towards him after the copper pot was knocked away. Instead, he stood up and caught most of it with the clothes in front of him.

But inevitably some splashes got on the back of my hand.

The waitress who was hit was stunned. She subconsciously looked down at her empty hands. After a start, she realized that something was wrong. She looked around and found that Harano Tsukasa beside her was frowning. The back of his hand was burned red by the splashed soup. She was pale and said hurriedly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm really sorry, sir. I didn't mean it!"

"The wilderness!"

"Xiao Si!"

Suzumiya Saka and Shimizu Yuko also reacted at this moment and couldn't help but call out his name. Their voices rang out almost at the same time.

Yuan Ye Si frowned and felt the not-so-strong pain on the back of his right hand. He first raised his left hand and waved at the two of them to indicate that he was fine. Then he said softly to the terrified waitress beside him, "It's okay. It's not your fault. I was just moving around on my own."

"I'm so sorry!" The waitress was already panicking and almost crying: "Please wait a moment, there is an ice pack over there, I'll get it for you..."

Yuan Ye Si couldn't help feeling a little guilty when he saw this.

After all, I was the one who was using the trick.

But he didn't think too much about it to avoid being exposed, he just remembered to give a bigger tip when paying the bill later.

At this moment, Suzumiya Saka, who heard the ice bag, sat up straight and asked quickly: "Is the ice bag in the kitchen?"

"Yes, yes, there is in the refrigerator..."

The waitress nodded subconsciously.

After getting the answer, Suzumiya Saka no longer expected the waitress in front of her who seemed frightened to bring an ice pack in time. She hurriedly got up from the tatami, put on her shoes, and went to the kitchen to get an ice pack.

But before she could put on her shoes.

But in the corner of my eye, I saw a figure who didn't even bother to put on his shoes, and just pushed the door open and ran out.

Suzumiya Saka was even stunned when she saw this.

Why are you more anxious than me?
This thought came to her mind subconsciously.

However, seeing that the other person was running so fast, Suzumiya Saka felt a special sense of urgency for no reason, and ran out without even bothering to put on her shoes.

What happens next is simple.

The waitress panicked and kept apologizing to Harano Tsukasa and then went to find the manager. After he repeatedly explained that it was his fault, the other party still insisted on apologizing.

He felt helpless seeing this.

They had no choice but to ask the other party to bring the card machine to settle the bill first, and then specifically asked them to pay an additional 30% as compensation for the mental damages of the waitress who had just served them, and their attitude was very firm.

After much arguing, the matter was finally resolved, and the store even gave us a few extra pickled side dishes.

During this time, Suzumiya Saka and Shimizu Yuko, who went to the kitchen to find ice packs, had already returned. They also changed their previous seating arrangement from sitting opposite each other and knelt on the left and right of Harano Tsukasa, sandwiching him in the middle.

"Why are you so careless!"

"Xiao Si, are you in pain?"

When the manager and the waitress left the private room, two voices rang out in unison.

It's just that the tone of the two voices is slightly different.

The former has a sense of blame.

The latter is pure worry.

Suzumiya Saka suddenly raised her head and looked over Harano Tsukasa's face at Shimizu Yuko who was lowering her head. The strong feeling of discomfort and weirdness in her heart became stronger and stronger.

But she frowned and then relaxed her brows.

Maybe I'm overthinking it.

After all, Harano Tsukasa had said before that this was an elder who was very close to him, and had a very good relationship with his mother. If she really had watched him grow up since he was a child, and this Aunt Shimizu had never been married and had no children, then she was equivalent to half a mother.

If you think about it this way, it makes sense why she was more anxious than when I saw Harano Tsukasa injured.

Yuan Ye Si also felt that the situation he had just reversed with his own body seemed to be getting worse again, so he turned his head and said softly, "I'm fine, most of the soup spilled on my clothes, and only a little spilled on my arms."

"Then you..." Suzumiya Saka was about to say something to him when a gentle voice came from beside her.

"I just checked and there are no blisters. It shouldn't be a burn. Apply an ice pack and it should be fine. Don't do this when someone pours soup for you next time you eat. Fortunately, this is broth and the temperature is not high. Otherwise, if it was boiling water, the consequences would be disastrous. Do you remember this?"

"remember."

"You must be more careful next time!"

"I see."

I have to say, compared to the original meaning of the words.

Actions and tone of voice can better demonstrate true feelings.

Although the first half of what Shimizu Yuko said was a normal analysis, and the second half sounded like she was blaming Harano Tsukasa for being careless, Suzumiya Saka felt a nameless anger rise in her heart when she saw the other person's eyes full of heartache and an expression that was even gentler than when her mother took care of her father.

No?

Whose husband is this?

You're so gentle that I look stupid, you know?
Even though she knew that the other person was an elder, Suzumiya Saka couldn't help feeling jealous at this moment. At the same time, she felt that something was wrong with the look in Shimizu Yuko's eyes when she looked at Harano Tsukasa. She always felt that her concern was not out of the care of an elder, but rather out of love between lovers.

Although the feeling was strong, Suzumiya Saka knew that it was not and could not be true.

However, she was very unhappy, and the unhappiness in her heart kept accumulating. Her originally concerned expression gradually turned cold, and she looked at Yuanye Si with a sullen face.

Yuan Ye Si also noticed her unhappiness.

However, there is currently no way to have both.

I can only sigh at the lessons learned by our predecessors. It is true that when one is hot, another will be cold. Even the smartest people will receive a profound lesson when they do not follow the famous saying that kings do not meet each other.

But what can he do now?
You can't just focus on the beginning and ignore the end.

Only children have to do multiple-choice questions. As an adult, of course he wants them all, not leaving out any one!
