After rebirth, I became Tokyo Sentimental

Chapter 158 157. Finally I can return to my job
The next morning, Chongzhi Xi stood in the living room with two faint dark circles under her eyes, arranging the dishes absent-mindedly, with an indelible sense of fatigue between her brows.

She couldn't sleep until three in the morning last night.

Although the shyness she felt after hearing what Harano Tsukasa said about not letting him in faded away, and she probably knew that he was using her to stimulate the woman he didn't know, she still waited with trepidation and anticipation.

The results are also obvious.

Yuan Ye Si didn't come in.

Not only did he not come in, Chong Zhixi also faintly heard the sound of conversation coming from the living room early yesterday morning.

The talking only lasted for a moment.

Then there was the sound of the master bedroom door closing.

If that were all, Shigeeda Xi would have gotten up with a worried mood, but halfway through cooking, when she remembered that the mess on the coffee table had not been cleaned up yet, she ran into Kurosaki Orizuki who was covering his chest as soon as she came out of the kitchen.

Her earlobes were rosy and translucent, her cheeks had a flushed feeling, her long, soft black hair was draped over her shoulders in a rather messy manner, and her beige gauze skirt was also wrinkled.

This couldn't be more obvious.

Even people who have never read any detective novels or mystery dramas can guess the reason.

The eyes of both parties met in mid-air.

Chongzhi Xi was just about to dodge.

As a result, she saw the thin Kurosaki Oritsuki not far away nodding slightly at her, as if it was just a greeting in the morning, and there was no other expression.

There was no provocation or complacency.

No high and mighty either.

All I have is calmness towards strangers.

This suddenly made Chong Zhixi feel frustrated, and she even began to feel a little ashamed of herself.

Thinking about how she had already classified Yuanye Si as an unpopular type last night when she saw him ignoring her, she was slapped in the face this morning and felt that she was still too young.

Think about it now.

He remained calm even when being humiliated in front of others, and did not seem embarrassed at all as he stood for a long time as if he was being punished. Even though there was an outsider like me, he was completely ignored as if I were air. Now thinking about it, this kind of forbearing spirit and mind is very much like those generals in TV dramas who command thousands of troops and would not blink an eye even if the biting cold wind made the flags rustle.

However, until now.

She didn't even know the person's name.

Is this what it means when a good warrior has no great achievements?

She stood at the dining table while thinking, until the sleepy face of Yuan Ye Si suddenly came into her sight. Seeing her standing there, the latter stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her face. He yawned and looked at her carefully and asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Zhong Zhixi's spirit perked up, and her thoughts were immediately pulled back from the state of enlightenment of the general's demeanor when greeting the new year. She quickly forced a smile on her innocent little face and replied, "A little bit, because I am a little particular about my bed."

"I should have taken you home last night."

When Yuan Ye Si saw her forced expression, he knew she was lying, but he didn't expose her and instead added something.

After listening to this, Chongzhi Xi didn't say anything, but the dullness in her pure big eyes under her fringe deepened a little. She lowered her head and served herself another serving of the miso soup.

This child is not from the tea art industry.

So I won’t hide my emotions.

Although she didn't show her emotions on her face, based on the experience that Yuanye Si had gained after playing in the jungle, he could tell at a glance that she was in a low mood. He didn't even need to open the wish list to know that the child was still unhappy because he didn't get in, and she probably didn't sleep well because she was worried about losing something.

Chongzhi Xi is a good cook.

At least it's better than Suzumiya Saka's.

Although it is breakfast, it is not a simple sandwich made of two slices of bread with a fried egg. Instead, it is fried assorted tempura, which is golden in color and looks very appetizing. The cooking time is well controlled. There are shiitake mushrooms, cabbage, and a few fried shrimps, and the presentation is also beautiful.

The refrigerator at home had been restocked once before, and was basically full. It was bought by Suzumiya Saka when she cooked for him last time. All the ingredients were the most expensive ones, and many were air-shipped, which didn't look cheap. She also bought a bunch of kitchen utensils and household appliances, all brand new, with so many buttons that even Harano Tsukasa couldn't understand them. But when he thought of the bowl of gray and tasteless soup he drank last time, he felt that Suzumiya Saka was a typical poor student who only had a lot of stationery.

Chongzhi Xi is obviously a good cook, mainly because she has a miserable life and a poor family background. She comes from a village in the countryside, and because of her father's illness, she has developed an extremely frugal habit, so she must cook for herself.

I can’t say his cooking skills are superb, but at least he doesn’t make any weird dishes. The food is colorful, fragrant and delicious. It doesn’t give people a stunning feeling, but it’s definitely not difficult to swallow.

The dining table was very quiet.

The three of them seemed to be on mute.

Apart from the slight chewing sound, there was basically no other sound. As a bodyguard, Fujikawa Hoshiki had already eaten. She should have gotten up earlier than Shigeeda Shio, and should be staying in the room waiting to take over.

Chongzhi Xi ate with her head down and took small bites.

Yuanye Si picked up the food slowly and calmly.

Kurosaki Orizuki didn't say anything, but just kept covering her chest with her hands while picking up her chopsticks, with her eyebrows slightly drooping.

"Xiao Xi, why did you come to see me?" Yuan Ye Si finally spoke. Last night he was only busy messing with Kurosaki Orizuki's temper, so he didn't pay much attention to Shigee Xi's arrival, but now he remembered it and asked.

This matter was obviously strange in every way. First of all, why did she come to find me, and why did she have to contact Suzumiya Saka? Moreover, when they separated last time, Harano Tsukasa had already arranged a job for her at Shimizu Yuko's place. Logically, the two should not meet again in a short period of time, or it is possible that they will never see each other again in this life. But now she didn't go to Yokohama at all, but came to my door with abnormal behavior.

"I came to see you..." Zhong Zhixi had expected him to ask this question, but she didn't expect to ask it now. She raised her head and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Report."

"Report?"

Yuan Ye Si saw that she was hesitant to speak, frowned slightly, and continued to ask: "Didn't I arrange a job for you? Didn't you contact that person?"

"I have contacted them, but President Shimizu said that it would be more valuable for me to stay with you than to work for her, and that I can also take care of you. All salaries will be paid as usual..." Shigeeda Xi spoke hesitantly and glanced at Kurosaki Orizuki who was sitting next to her. She now felt that the latter should be the same kind as herself, but she didn't know if there was any official certification, so she spoke extremely carefully.

After hearing the explanation, Harano Si was silent for a moment.

He studied her expression again.

Then he asked her again.

"Are you sure she said that?"

"Hmm..." Shigeeda Shio quickly withdrew her gaze from secretly looking at Kurosaki Orizuki and replied, "President Shimizu also said that if you don't believe it, you can call her."

"Forget about the phone call."

Harano Tsukasa felt that the child in front of him would not lie to him based on his personality, nor was she the type of person who wanted to stay with him for money, so what she said should be true, and this was what Shimizu Yuko meant.

At that time, as soon as Yuko Shimizu started talking about the pregnancy misunderstanding, she was seen by Suzumiya Saka who happened to be at home.

So I didn’t have time to say it.

Later, Suzumiya Saka wouldn't let go, and after he forced her to sleep with him, he didn't dare to contact Shimizu Yuko. Then he went to the banquet and got into a fight with Sato Mie. Before Shigeeda Shio came, he didn't even remember that he didn't inform Shimizu Yuko in advance, but that shouldn't have been the right thing to do.

Just arrange a person, even though Yuanye Si didn't call, but he would receive it under his own name. If you don't believe it.

Then Yuko Shimizu will definitely call to verify.

The fact is that she didn't make the call.

And he also sent Chongzhi Xi back.

Yuko Shimizu doesn't care much about money, at least she's not that snobbish. This is the result of the joint efforts of Harano Tsukasa's in-depth and easy-to-understand tests and Wish List's prying into her inner thoughts. Moreover, she is not the kind of old-fashioned and pedantic person who can't tolerate a grain of sand in her eyes. She shouldn't be too concerned about having a relative hired to work in such a big factory, especially since it was arranged by him. She shouldn't mind even if he is just a figurehead and drawing a salary without doing anything.

After thinking about it, Harano Tsukasa felt that Shimizu Yuko must have noticed that Shigeeda Shio had a bad relationship with him.

And it's not a normal relationship.

This is also normal.

Shigeeda Shio can't hide things, and his emotions are basically written on his face. Although Shimizu Yuko seems a little love-sick in front of him because it's their first time and for other reasons, she has forty years of life experience. She can probably see through what this kid is thinking at a glance.

I guess he feels uncomfortable and doesn't want to see a woman with whom he has a special relationship hanging around in front of him all day.

Or maybe because he was too busy and knew that Suzumiya Saka was pampered and couldn't take care of others, he sent Shigeeda Shio back to take care of and accompany him.

Most likely it's the former.

Of course, it is possible that both are true.

"Then you follow me for the time being." Yuan Ye Si thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out how to place the child, so he could only let her follow him like this for the time being.

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Shigeeda Xi felt relieved and felt that she could finally get back to her job. Even the mood that had caused her to doubt her life due to the blow from Kurosaki Orizuki beside her improved a lot and her face looked much more relaxed.

[Wish object: Shigee Shige]

[The wish list is as follows]

[1. I want to stay with Mr. Yuanye, return to my job, and repay my debts (blue)]

[2. I hope my father can recover as before (purple)]

[3. This sister next to me is so amazing and has extraordinary spirit. I really misjudged her last night. It would be great if I could have a chance to ask her some questions (blue)]

[The first wish has come true]

[Basic rewards are being randomly drawn]

[Reward: Skill Mastery Card (Mastery)]

Yuanye Si just glanced at Zhongzhi Xi's evil thoughts list after he finished speaking out of habit, and almost spit out the soup after seeing the information on the light red screen.

God damn job!
So serious!
And it was completed by accident!
Yuan Ye Si didn't know what to say about this.

Moreover, her third wish quickly attracted Harano Tsukasa's attention. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what she wanted to ask Kurosaki Orizuki.

And also extraordinary courage?
Did I make a mistake yesterday?

Yuan Ye Si is not a telepath, not strong enough to see through other people's minds at a glance, and the information provided by the wish list is very limited. In addition, his brain is overloaded with information, he has come into contact with a lot of people and things during this period, and Zhong Zhixi's brain is a child who likes to think too much, and when overtaking on a curve, he can even turn onto Mars, so he really can't figure it out.

If you can't figure it out, just forget about it. It won't be a good thing anyway, but it shouldn't have any impact on you.

After finishing his meal, Kurosaki Orizuki left.

What she wanted by staying was actually very simple.

Maybe jealous.

Or maybe boredom.

But since she stayed and was still arguing with him in the living room until late at night, no matter how stupid Yuan Ye Si was, he knew how to solve the problem.

Of course it’s to satisfy her!
To be honest, if it weren't for the concern for Kurosaki Oritsuki's physical condition, Harano Tsukasa would not have been polite to her at all, and he would not have left Harano Tsukasa idle just because too much contact with her would cause trouble. They had contact frequently enough, not to mention that Suzumiya Saka had no intention of breaking up with her, so it would probably be difficult to sever ties with her.

Harano Tsukasa is not short of money. After being provoked several times, he has planned to buy a ventilator for Kurosaki Oritsuki to try and see if he can adapt to it.

I can't bear it any longer.

But using only your mouth won’t quench your thirst.

Just like a spare tire, it’s okay to use it temporarily when an accident happens, but you can’t always drive on the road without changing the tire.

The appearance of Kurosaki Orizuki last night disrupted Harano Tsukasa's rhythm of concentrating on his career. To be honest, he has been working very hard these days, so it is not excessive to take a day off. In addition, the idea of buying a single-family house proposed by Fujikawa Hosoki was deeply supported by Harano Tsukasa, and the gene of the flower-growing family that takes houses as its roots began to stir again, so he planned to go out and look at houses.

Nowadays, Yuanye Si usually travels in three cars, and he was driving the Porsche again today.

Fujikawa Hoshiki switched shifts with another bodyguard.

He was driving the first car that Yuanye Si bought a few months ago, which was the leaking Mercedes-Benz. However, it was repaired last week and was used as a temporary spare car.

There was also a team of male bodyguards in the Lexus city SUV that Harano Tsukasa bought when he went to Hokkaido. He did not drive the car back from Hokkaido because the journey was too long and driving was too tiring, so he shipped it by train and it arrived in Tokyo last week.

Three cars came out of the underground parking garage of the Toranomon residential building one after another. Among them, Harano Tsukasa's car was in the front. After getting on the road, it slowly drove in the direction of the navigation.

In fact, it is really expensive to support this team of people.

All in all, he has to pay nearly 4 to 5 million yen in salary every month, but the salary accumulated from the automatic salary increase card that Harano Tsukasa has not yet withdrawn is more than enough, so he doesn't care about the money.

After all, it has been several days.

Sato Mie didn't show any sign of wanting to retaliate against him, and Harano Tsukasa even specifically mentioned to the bodyguards that he had an enemy, and there might be someone following him near the residential building, and he might be followed when he went out. However, after the bodyguards repeatedly searched around the residential building, they gave a negative answer, and no one was following him.

This is certainly not normal.

That woman was extremely vengeful.

If you don't take action, you must be holding back.

"Mr. Yuanye, where are we going?" After being out for a while, Shigeeda Shio, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned her head to look at Yuanye Si and asked in a low voice.

"Look at the house." Yuanye Si came back to his senses.

"Are you still going to buy a house?" Chongzhi Xi was a little surprised. She felt that the high-end apartment they lived in last night was the best house she had ever seen, and she didn't think that it was rented by Yuanye Si. In addition, she knew his temper, so she dared to continue asking.

“I just plan to take a look first.”

Yuan Ye Si replied casually, not intending to say too much, but after looking at her face through the rearview mirror, he suddenly remembered something. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "By the way, Xiao Xi, do you have any friends?"

"Friends? Yes, I do..."

"Are there any of them who are more materialistic?"
