After rebirth, I became Tokyo Sentimental

Chapter 138 137. When you leave Hokkaido, you are no longer yourself

A tough battle, as the name suggests.

It sounds hard.

Ever since he acted as a close observer in the second bedroom of Suzumiya Saka's apartment that night, Kurosaki Orizuki had imagined a similar scenario in his mind.

But don't talk about really fighting a tough battle.

Even last night's feeding made her feel so chest tightness that she felt dizzy and her heart beat so fast that she could hardly breathe.

But it's not completely impossible.

As a doctor, even if you cannot be as rigorous with data as a scientist, you know how to summarize patterns, study diseases, and understand the principles of treatment.

So she also discovered that compared to the first time she was sucked, the symptoms last night were obviously much lighter. It can even be said that these two times were not as tense and breathless as the first time in the hospital when she asked Harano Tsukasa to verify whether she had a conscience.

So what is the principle of decreasing returns?

Very simple.

Desensitization.

As long as you are not sensitive enough to let the strong heartbeat exceed the threshold, your breathing will not suddenly become rapid.

The reason is very simple.

But it is difficult to implement.

After all, Kurosaki Oritsuki had no experimental data from personal experience, and didn't know how nervous she was in such a sweaty situation. She also didn't know how sensitive her body would be once the layer of separation between her and Harano Tsukasa was broken.

There was indeed data in the book, but it was just something in the book after all. She understood the principles that seemed superficial when discussed on paper, so she could only figure it out on her own.

Of course, exploration needs to be gradual.

Although there will be some price to pay in the process of exploration, it will not be a big deal if you can behave like a normal person.

not to mention…

Life has no meaning.

I started this love game not only to be able to better control my body, but also to find a reason that would give me the motivation to stay alive.

In the scorching hot environment, Kurosaki Orizuki tried her best to keep her breathing steady. The scene of herself being carried back by Harano Tsukasa from the edge of the sea came to her mind again. Even though she knew that this scene was nothing big and that someone else might do the same, she still couldn't suppress the feeling of security that made her feel that she had someone to rely on until now.

It’s because of this thought.

The suffocating feeling from lack of oxygen in my chest due to the pressure gradually receded and turned into a barely bearable frown.

Yuan Ye Si came closer, and the movement of his body caused ripples, which slightly increased the heat in the hot spring bath. He took a hand out of the water and placed it on her shoulder: "Are you sure you can hold on?"

"It's okay. I can do it." She let out a breath and could feel her heartbeat gradually stabilizing.

Open your eyes.

What you see is a thick vapor that cannot be dispersed.

When I looked up, I saw the endless night sky.

Now that you are in Hokkaido, you can't avoid taking a hot spring bath, even if it's not winter yet.

Japan's tourism industry has always been developed.

Hotels near Lake Toya bring their own.

But she refused the public hot springs for men and women inside the hotel and once again booked a room with its own hot spring just like when she first landed in Sapporo.

Since she doesn't mind.

Of course, Yuanye Si accepted everyone who came.

The water temperature is forty-three degrees.

A hot spring of this temperature can actually be called a high-temperature hot spring, but it is nothing for women who have a very high temperature tolerance. After all, under normal circumstances, if a woman takes a bath first and then a man goes in, he will definitely be scalded.

But Kurosaki Oritsuki is obviously an ordinary woman.

Because of her body.

It's a bit unbearable in this high temperature.

A blush appeared on Kurosaki Orizuki's originally pale face, and her white shoulders were steamed red by the heat. There were also drops of water flowing slowly along her smooth collarbone and then sliding into the bottomless snow-white ravine.

Her conscience was already turbulent, and she was only wearing a bra binder when she took a hot spring bath, and it was so tight to prevent it from getting wet and falling that it made people feel distressed.

There was no doubt that Harano Tsukasa's eyes had already been automatically aimed at the beautiful scenery, but he didn't put all his attention on it. Instead, he asked casually, "Is your love game seduction and mixed bathing?"

"Don't you like it, Hara-kun?"

"It's not that I don't like it, I'm just afraid that your body can't stand the high temperature and you might faint again if you're not careful."

Although Yuanye Si had never steamed buns, he knew that if they were steamed too hard, even the softest buns would become soggy and would collapse when touched.

He didn't think that Kurosaki Orizuki would.

After all, the principle of thermal expansion and contraction applies to everything in nature, just like the light brown halo that spread during the previous two nights, but he was really worried that the woman's body would not be able to withstand the water temperature.

and.

Ever since she saved Kurosaki Orizuki at the sea cliff yesterday, she seemed to have been reborn into a completely different person.

Is this change good or bad?

Yuanye Si was not sure either.

So the only option is to cheat again.

[Wish target: Kurosaki Orizuki]

[The wish list is as follows]

[1. Want to have a healthy body (purple)]

[2. Want to have a father (purple)]

[3. I really don’t know what it feels like to be held in water. Will it feel like the flow of a hot spring? (White)]

Judging from the information on the wish list alone, her resentment towards herself was obviously less. In fact, this was normal. Even if she had taken some advantage, she would still be grateful, whether it was saving a life on the edge of the sea cliff, or risking her life to help her break free from the barriers, and solving the problem of suffocation in her heart.

In other words, the heartless Kurosaki Orizuki just doesn't hate him anymore. If it were the little girl Shigeeda Shio, she would probably be so moved by him that she would cry bitterly now.

However, Harano Tsukasa has already figured out the disadvantages of the wish list and knows that it cannot be used as a real mind detector, so if he wants to know what she is planning to do, he can only rely on himself.

"Kurosaki-san." Harano Tsukasa suddenly spoke.

"Hmm?" Kurosaki Orizuki turned his head.

Noticing her gaze, Harano Tsukasa moved his aiming camera upwards and met her eyes through the not-too-thin mist. After a brief thought, he asked, "Do you think there is anyone who would want to offer himself up after being humiliated repeatedly?"

When Kurosaki Orizuki heard this, her body stiffened.

But because they were in the water and there was no skin contact between the two of them, it was not easy to be noticed.

After a moment of silence, Kurosaki Orizuki raised her slender hands from the hot spring, and crystal clear water drops slid down her red white arms. She took off the pure white towel that was originally placed on her forehead, then looked at him and said in a faint voice: "Yuanye-kun, in fact, I have had this feeling for a long time. You seem to be able to see through people's hearts."

I don’t know how many times this has happened.

Obviously, she didn't show any unusual emotions, and she didn't have the habit of talking in her sleep, but he always seemed to be able to see through her true thoughts.

Kind of scary.

But it's also very curious.

At least for someone like her, being able to have someone else understand her thoughts is actually a kind of luck in a sense.

"Not only can I see through people's hearts, I can also bite through their hearts." Yuan Ye Si did not answer her question, but was just thinking about how to deal with the relationship between them.

Kurosaki Orizuki was obviously more curious about his ability to read minds: "Can you tell me the reason?"

"Reasoning." Yuanye Si said after a little thought.

"Reasoning?" Kurosaki Orizuki frowned.

Harano Tsukasa retracted his gaze, grabbed the pure white towel she had just placed on the edge of the rock wall, leaned against the rock wall and raised his head to put it on his head, and said in a calm and mysterious tone: "Since we have been open and honest with each other, I will not hide it from you. Based on your understanding of me, I am afraid that you think I was an ordinary office worker with nothing special about me. But in fact, I am a detective who is proficient in reasoning techniques."

Kurosaki Orizuki was confused for a moment and looked carefully at Harano Tsukasa's face, as if trying to verify its authenticity.

They have known each other for such a long time, although she doesn't know him as well as Suzumiya Saka, she has never thought that Harano Tsukasa would have such an outrageous identity.

detective…

Isn't that the job of catching a mistress?

What does this have to do with mind reading?
Although most of the plots in mystery novels are described from the perspective of psychological speculation, as if detectives can read minds, but in fact, Kurosaki Orizuki knows a little about what those guys are capable of. Tracking and secretly taking pictures are okay, but studying psychology is something that is rarely done.

But he wasn't necessarily lying.

After all, in addition to the fact that he seemed to be able to see through his own thoughts many times, there was also the mystery of how he suddenly became rich at some point in the information.

With a half-believing and half-doubting mentality, Kurosaki Orizuki's body in the water moved closer: "Are you a detective?"

"Don't you believe it?" Yuan Ye Si closed his eyes and listened to his slightly hesitant voice. He just smiled and said, "Then let me ask you, what is the most important thing for a detective?"

"A careful mind?"

"No." "Above the ordinary observation ability?"

"Not at all."

"Mastering the rigorous inference techniques of psychology?"

"Even less so."

After being repeatedly told that his answers were wrong, Kurosaki Orizuki finally lost his patience and asked, "What is that?"

"Of course, it's after you come to a conclusion and say something convincing." Yuan Ye Si opened his eyes, grabbed the bath towel that had turned cold on his forehead and threw it into the water. After soaking it for two times, he wrung it dry and said calmly.

Kurosaki Orizuki's face became expressionless.

She's not stupid.

So I realized instantly that I had been tricked.

"Is this interesting?"

"It's boring." Harano Tsukasa folded the wrung-out bath towel into a square, turned around and put it on Kurosaki Orizuki's smooth forehead: "So, do you find it interesting to waste time with me?"

"Oh, you wrapped it so tightly when you were eating it, and you want to chase people away when you loosen it. You are more heartless than a child."

Facing his half-smile, Kurosaki Orizuki knew in her heart that he wanted to clear up the relationship, but she was also good at Tai Chi and was even better at changing the topic of conflict.

"I need an answer." Yuan Ye Si smiled and said, "I have always been a person who likes to nip danger in the bud, otherwise I would not have chosen to send them to prison today. In my opinion, your identity and personality make you a relatively dangerous person. Until now, I have been very patient and have not eaten you up without caring about your life or death."

"Just like before, you want to eliminate me as a risk for Saxiang, right?" she asked suddenly.

"Yes."

"understood."

"So what's the reason?"

"reason…"

"Ring ring ring!"

Just as Kurosaki Orizuki was speaking with her eyes slightly lowered and her voice as if in a low hum, the screen of Harano Tsukasa's cell phone, which had been placed on the rock wall of the hot spring, suddenly lit up, and at the same time, it emitted a clear ring tone and vibrated his body.

Harano Tsukasa raised his wet hands from the water and picked up the phone, then looked at her: "Video call."

"Answer it." Kurosaki Orizuki did not respond.

"You're not going to avoid it?"

Yuanye Si showed the name of the person who called.

"I won't cause you any trouble, just answer it with confidence." After saying this, Kurosaki Orizuki moved his body, but he did not go up from the hot spring with a diameter of two meters, but went around behind Harano Tsukasa.

Feeling the water flowing forward, he soon felt the softness of the blue waves sticking to his back. Yuan Ye Si couldn't help but widen his eyes and turned his head to look at her.

However, Kurosaki Orizuki seemed not to notice.

Compared to men, women are certainly inferior in body structure and skeleton, so when Kurosaki Oritsuki was pressed against Harano Tsukasa's back in the bed with her big body covering her small body, just like last time, if you look from the front, you really can't see her figure.

But this woman...

I'm really becoming more and more relaxed.

Even the incident of being in the dark under the quilt had happened before, and Harano Tsukasa's psychological endurance had greatly increased. He answered the call without changing his expression after pointing the front camera of the mobile phone towards himself.

The data is quickly linked.

The pretty face of Suzumiya Saka, as cold and beautiful as an iceberg, soon appeared on his mobile phone screen.

"Why did it take you so long to answer?"

She asked as soon as the call was connected.

"I was just taking a hot spring bath, so the phone was a little far away. Plus, my hands were wet, so there was no response when I pressed the screen." Yuan Ye Si explained patiently.

Suzumiya Saka on the other side showed a trace of suspicion on her face when she heard this. She subconsciously tilted her head as if she wanted to look at his side, but the next moment she realized that this was a mobile phone video, and the picture would not shift even if she tilted her head. Then she quickly turned her head back and asked in a suspicious tone: "Where did you take a hot spring bath?"

"hotel."

"Where's Zhiyue?"

"She's next door."

"Then turn around with your phone."

"Don't trust me?" Yuan Ye Si pretended to be displeased.

Hearing his sudden change in tone, Suzumiya Saka, who had been maintaining the dignity of the head of the family, instantly deflated, and whispered with a flickering look in her eyes: "No..."

"We have so little trust in each other even before we get married. I really don't know how far our relationship can go. Since you want to see it, I'll fulfill your wish, so that you won't accuse me of being guilty." Harano Tsukasa decided to act quickly, otherwise something might happen later, because he could already feel that the hands of Kurosaki Orizuki behind him were beginning to become unruly.

"I don't…"

"It doesn't matter. Whether I forgive you or not, you will force me to investigate anyway. I might as well cooperate with you."

Seeing that Harano Tsukasa on the screen seemed to be really angry because of her obvious checking up just now, Suzumiya Saka lowered her voice a little: "I really didn't..."

"What's the matter with the video call?"

Yuan Ye Si interrupted her directly.

"I just wanted to ask you why you didn't come back..."

"Your friend has been away from home for a long time and wants to stay one more day to see the scenery of his hometown, so he didn't go back today and booked a Shinkansen for tomorrow. Are you satisfied?"

"Then I'll pick you up tomorrow!"

"That's not necessary. You've been so busy that I haven't seen you all day. Now you doubt our love as soon as I called you on video. I dare not waste the time of a busy person like you." Harano Tsukasa felt that Kurosaki Orizuki was fiddling with his flag in the water. His face changed slightly and he retorted to Suzumiya.

"I…"

"Any thing else?"

"There is a party the day after tomorrow. I wonder if you have time to go with me." Suzumiya Saka felt that Harano Tsukasa looked a little strange, as if he was not feeling well, but she didn't dare to ask more questions now.

"Business dinner?"

"No, it's a banquet hosted by an elder in our circle. I didn't want to go at first, but my father told me to bring you along to tell others that we are together and to let others know you exist." Suzumiya Saka said softly.

It means acknowledging him as the son-in-law.

Let Suzumiya Sasaka take him out to meet people, indicating that the daughter of the Suzumiya family already has a future husband.

Harano Tsukasa immediately understood Suzumiya's father's intention and did not object to it. After all, he had already decided to marry her: "I understand. Is there anything else?"

"Gone…"

"Go to bed early. I'll go to bed right after I finish my bath."

"Good night…"

After quickly hanging up the video, Yuanye Si put the phone back with a calm expression and turned around.

He said expressionlessly, "Ms. Kurosaki, do you feel proud of doing those things that you just did to backstab your best friend in front of her?"

Kurosaki Orizuki's face flushed, but she didn't seem shy. Instead, her eyes were eager to try. She pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm just studying the human epidermis."

Which epidermis did you study?
I don't even want to point it out to you!
"It seems that although you are a doctor, you also have the heart of a scientist. Coincidentally, I have also been interested in this area since I was a child, and I like to study a topic called nitpicking. How about we work together to study this topic tonight?"

"Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to hold on now?"

"It's not a problem, I think it's fine. Besides, how can science be done without sacrificing experimental subjects?"

After saying this, Harano Tsukasa picked her up from the hot spring at Kurosaki Orizuki's low exclamation and walked barefoot into the warm room.

No matter what her schemes are.

I will destroy it myself!
This night was another long dark night after all.

Even though the knight couldn't use his sword to break through the castle where the princess was imprisoned for various reasons, he could still do it by using his verbal skills. Although it couldn't cause any harm, it was already a qualitative breakthrough.

No matter how long the night is, it will end.

The next morning.

Sapporo Station.

The same location as a dozen years ago.

Sitting on the Shinkansen, there was an abnormal blush on Kurosaki Orizuki's pale cheeks. He looked through the clean glass at the scenery outside the window that was gradually receding at an accelerated speed.

There is no coldness of snow falling all over the sky.

There is only the warm warmth of the sun shining through the glass.

As the scenery outside the car window passed by at a rapid speed, Kurosaki Orizuki finally came back to his senses from his long memories. At the same time, he turned his head slightly to look at Harano Tsukasa who was resting with his eyes closed beside him.

Once you leave Hokkaido, you are no longer yourself.

This is the reason.
