After rebirth, I became Tokyo Sentimental

Chapter 194 193. Those who can walk out of the rainstorm never rely on umbrellas

Men are not the only ones who are vulnerable.

I have been injured.

It cannot be an excuse to hurt others.

What's more, everything Kato Masami did was to hurt the original body, not the current Harano Tsukasa. Although he had similar experiences in his previous life, they were not so outrageous. The psychological trauma left behind can also heal over time, and there will be no hatred left.

But if you put yourself in Sakamiya's shoes, it is indeed too much for Harano Tsukasa to look at himself from a normal person's perspective.

And it's not just excessive.

This is empathy.

But strictly speaking, Suzumiya Saka is not a villain. At most, she is a little jealous, has a strong personality, and is a feminist.

But this can't be an excuse for being betrayed.

It’s true that career is important.

Having money may not make you happy, but not having money will definitely make you unhappy, because everyone knows that the economic base determines the superstructure. Without money, people will spend their whole lives struggling for survival. Only when the pressure of survival is gone will there be all kinds of worries.

This is the case with Haranoisi at the moment.

According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, he is now at the level of self-actualization needs, and other pressures are not great. After all, money is something that can be obtained whenever you want, while status and position cannot be obtained through hard work. Maybe you can get some, but the energy and reward are not proportional.

Once you have your career in place, all that’s left is life.

What Hara no Tsukasa had originally expected was that he would use money or resources, and use means of control and coordination to deal with multiple women. If anyone could not be controlled, he would be eliminated and replaced by a new person. However, the imagination is beautiful, but the reality is very bleak. Every woman is a living person, not a game character that can be manipulated at will, so he can only continue to fall into the vortex.

But falling into it is not impossible to escape.

It just costs something.

As for what the price is...

It's just that a few old critics are missing.

Harano Si is also a human being, of course he has human emotions, and men are creatures that can develop feelings for even a sanitary napkin after being around for a long time, let alone a few friends who know each other well.

But if he asks himself, who among these people does he think has the deepest feelings for? Of course, it is Suzumiya Saka.

Yuan Ye Si also didn't want her to get hurt.

Besides, she was pregnant with her own child.

Interests can be pursued at any time, but once you miss something like love, the difficulty of getting it back increases exponentially, and you may not even have the chance to do so. So Yuanye Si thought it through and made a decision.

procrastination.

Let time test it.

For the time being, focus your energy and time on Suzumiya Saka, and keep out of contact with other people, at least until the child is born. Otherwise, it would be obviously irresponsible and too ungentlemanly of a husband to fight with various masters while his future wife is pregnant.

In the end, you still have to convince yourself.

Just like rain.

Just holding an umbrella won’t get you back to your warm home.

"Those who can walk out of a rainstorm never rely on an umbrella." Yuan Ye Si muttered to himself after he came to his senses.

"So you just let me wipe it myself?" Upon hearing this, Suzumiya Saka's face flushed and she couldn't help but kick Harano Tsukasa with her trembling legs hidden in the quilt and said unhappily.

"Excuse me, let me help you wipe it."

Seeing that he was no longer so nervous and finally helped her wipe the dirt gently, Suzumiya Saka's expression eased a little. However, thinking of a habit of his that had never changed, she snorted and said, "I really don't like your habit of not liking to hold an umbrella. Can you change it?"

Yuan Ye Si looked up at him.

Then he said without hesitation: "Okay."

Suzumiya Saka raised her eyebrows slightly, a little surprised that he agreed so readily, but after a slight hesitation, she added: "Don't change for me."

"…it is good."

After hearing his agreement, Suzumiya Saka lay down again leisurely and asked Harano Tsukasa to help her with the aftermath, because she was too tired. Logically speaking, men should be more tired when doing such things, but why is it the opposite for her? Even though she has been psychologically hinted countless times about who is more talented between Tian and Niu, she still loses on the battlefield. This is the result every time.

However, thinking of Harano Tsukasa's long silence after she said that, and the fact that he smoked at least ten cigarettes on the way back to the hotel, Suzumiya Saka couldn't help but feel a little worried about his current mental state.

Especially now.

After helping him with his funeral, Yuanye Si left the bedside again, went to the window, opened the curtains very slightly, then took out a cigarette and lit it with a lighter.

Smoking is harmful to your health.

As the former head of the Health and Welfare Division of the Bunkyo Ward Office, no one knows better than her how harmful smoking and drinking are to men's health.

That's right.

There are also smokers who live to be a hundred years old.

But what about the proportion?

Regardless of the proportion, it's all hooliganism.

When they first met, Suzumiya Saka was sure that Harano Tsukasa was not addicted to smoking, because even if he wanted to maintain a good image in front of her and not smoke, if he smoked behind her back, he would inevitably smell like cigarettes.

But it didn't happen at that time.

So he smokes after touching himself.

As for why...

Suzumiya Saka had a lot of imagination.

But it’s still because of what I care about.

Perhaps out of reluctance, or perhaps because she was really worried about his health, Suzumiya Saka pulled up the soft quilt on her body, looked at Harano Tsukasa and said:
"Don't think too much. It's obviously me who was treated unfairly, but now you're the one who's suffering. Where can I go to seek justice? Just pretend that I didn't quarrel with you today. Let's not talk about other people's affairs for now. It's not those things. Is that okay?"

Harano Tsukasa, who had just lit a cigarette, was stunned when he heard this. After a moment, he turned his head to look at Suzumiya Saka and asked:
"Why are you so considerate of me all of a sudden?"

"I'm afraid you'll think too much and commit suicide if you get sick again. Then my child will be left without a father."

Suzumiya Saka turned her face away and said with all her might.

Yuanye Si was silent for a moment.

Then he put out the cigarette he had just taken a puff of.

He stood up and walked to the bedside and sat down again. He turned sideways and looked at Suzumiya Saka who was only half a meter away. He stared at her beautiful face with a hint of coldness between her eyebrows. He looked at her speechlessly for a long time before speaking:

"I love you."

"..."

Suzumiya Saka, who didn't want to look him in the eye, suddenly heard these three words, and her body stiffened involuntarily, as if a tingling electric current surged through her body, and her heart suddenly beat violently. She said subconsciously in a panic, "Why are you suddenly saying such cheesy words..."

"I think I really like you."

"So you didn't like me before? And everything you said was a lie to me?" Suzumiya Saka took a deep breath.

"No, I liked your pretty face and figure before, but now I like you as a person."

"That's so funny. You only fell in love with me after you got me pregnant. You're such a slow-moving guy."

"You don't have to have any contact with Kurosaki-san."

"Ok?"

"Except for Yuko, also known as Aunt Shimizu, I can temporarily stop contacting anyone, including Sato Mie and any other woman you can think of." Harano Tsukasa's voice continued to come.

"Temporarily?" Suzumiya Saka grasped the key.

"We'll talk about it after the baby is born."

"Thank you so much. I didn't expect you loved me so much that you were willing to hold it in for seven or eight months."

Suzumiya Saka patted the quilt and said angrily.

As if he had anticipated this result, Yuan Ye Si stared at her face and smiled slightly before saying, "Then I can just not contact her."

"Forget it then. A dog will always eat shit, just like going to the toilet. The longer you hold it in, the stronger it will be. I won't force you to cut off contact with these people. Anyway, just be careful and don't accuse me of being jealous and petty."

Because she felt sorry for him and also because he gave in, Suzumiya Saka decided not to press him too hard and to give him some space, so she didn't say too much so that he wouldn't become too desperate.

"Well, you better understand me."

"You really agreed?" Suzumiya Saka turned her head and widened her eyes.

"Didn't you take the initiative to understand me? How could I let you down?" Yuan Ye Si said with a smile.

"..."

"Okay, I was just kidding. We can talk about this when we get back. It's time to get up. We have a date today."

"Where?"

"Let's go wherever you want, just like that time when we went on a date in Shibuya." Harano Tsukasa said this sincerely, and he really wanted to go on a date with the other party.

Since coming to this world, except for that date in Shibuya, he has never had a decent date with any woman. The rest of the time he was just working and never enjoyed the so-called love.

Harano Tsukasa and Suzumiya Saka are the kind of people who got married before falling in love.

Probably so.

After all, the other party was pregnant before marriage.

Besides, Suzumiya Saka has lived for nearly thirty years and has never had any love experience, let alone a serious date. After being with me, she was either bullied or on the way to be bullied all day long. Even when she was pregnant and got angry, she still gave in to me in the end.

Just based on this point, Yuanye Si already owes the other party enough. If he wants to make amends, he must act immediately. So this time he came out in name to accompany her during her pregnancy, so he must start with the nominal aspect and follow through to the end.

But in Suzumiya Saka's opinion, Harano Tsukasa seemed like a different person. His behavior was a little bit unreasonable, and she was confused for a moment.

"Why do you seem to have changed?"

"Haven't I fallen in love with you?"

Harano Tsukasa touched her hand and smiled.

Although they were already physically familiar with each other, Suzumiya Saka still felt like she was being scratched by a cat when she heard these three words. She couldn't help but say, "Can you please stop saying such cheesy things? Besides, it feels weird to say love..."

"I love you." Yuan Ye Si repeated again.

"Oh…"

"Do you love me?"

"Hmm... um... uh..."

"Do you love me?"

"Um…"

"Can you be more specific?"

"Love..." Suzumiya Saka said reluctantly.

It was obvious that Yuan Ye Si was not going to let her get away with it so easily. He leaned forward slightly, used his right hand to gently pull her cheek back from the side, smiled and stared into her eyes and said, "I want to hear the three-word version."

Suzumiya Saka's cheeks gradually turned red.

And it began to spread visibly.

It was not until Harano Tsukasa's fingers could clearly feel the heat rising in her face that Suzumiya Saka lowered her eyes and whispered:
"I love you…"

"Let's do it again." Yuan Ye Si skillfully began to take off his pants again, lifted the quilt and planned to get in directly: "Let's get up and go on a date again."

"Hmm..." This time, Suzumiya Saka did not scold him or say a few polite words to him. She just twisted her red cheeks to the side and said, "Be gentle, don't disturb the child."

"..."

"..."

"what time is it?"

"Three o'clock in the afternoon."

"Why is it so dark outside?"

"It seems like it's raining."

"I'm so unlucky. It rained right after we agreed to go out on a date. Does this prove that you're lying to me again?"

"Can this be related to me?"

"Why not?"

Getting up from the warm bed filled with a faint plant-like scent, Yuanye Si opened the tightly closed curtains a little, looked at the dense rain on the glass and said, "It's raining quite heavily. It seems that I can't go anywhere if I go out."

"What should I do?"

"Then let's not go out. Let's just take a day off for tomorrow's date. The white noise of the rain will be just the right amount of noise to help us fall asleep." Harano Si replied.

Rainy days are obviously more suitable for sleeping.

Natural white noise is a great tool for hypnosis.

So without any hesitation, Yuan Ye Si first overturned the plan of today's date, and then went back to the warm bed, hugged the soft body in his arms, and sniffed the faint fragrance like orchid at the tip of his nose.

"That's all I can say, don't argue with me..."

"Ok?"

"I allow you to find another woman."

Suzumiya Saka suddenly said this.

"Why?" Yuan Ye Si asked in surprise.

"Just because of your endless energy!"

"But there's no one else here now, and it's too late to ask them to come, so can you please trouble me a little longer?"

Suzumiya Sasaka tried to struggle in the bed for a moment, but it was obvious that she couldn't get free: "I feel like if we continue this, our child will be born to dance."

"Isn't it good to be a dancer? We are helping him to explore his potential in this area."

"That's all you can say."

"Shall we continue to rest?"

"I…"

"I love you."

"..."

As we all know, love is both a noun and a verb. It will change with time and place and become the most suitable state for the current time.

But the rain will eventually stop.

And the sky after the rain will be more beautiful.

The next day, Harano Tsukasa really went on a date with Suzumiya Saka's arm in his. Although the styles of shopping malls are all the same, the mood will always be different when shopping in different places, so he forced her to go shopping for clothes.

In the afternoon, the two of them walked all the way to Kasuga Taisha Shrine with drinks in their hands. Despite the awkward obstruction of Suzumiya Saka, Harano Tsukasa stopped an elderly couple who were taking pictures with a selfie stick in front of the main shrine, and asked them to take pictures for them.

Please ask someone for help or something.

It's really embarrassing.

Especially when the person being asked for help is an elderly person.

But Harano Tsukasa was not embarrassed at all. He handed the phone to the other party, quickly walked back, took Suzumiya Saka's hand, put his arm around her waist, and after they stood in front of the main hall and posed, he signaled to the other party to start filming.

"Are you ready? Let's start shooting!"

"Don't be nervous, little girl!"

"You all need to smile more happily."

“Yes!”

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

After the old lady with white hair but elegant temperament pressed the camera button, the picture on the phone screen froze instantly, fixing the sparse white clouds and invisible wind, and leaving marks on the spreading light and shadows.

What love cares about is the process.

Not the result.

It's like this moment is the most precious.
