In fact, he was very particular before he picked up his chopsticks. The chopsticks were suspended but not dropped. Tetsu Moroyu's eyes changed with the direction of the chopsticks. Shimizu Koji quietly noticed the changes in Tetsu Moroyu's expression. Therefore, this plate of fried hairtail cubes that made Tetsu Moroyu swallow his saliva twice was obviously the best bait.

"Well, you should have some too."

Koji Shimizu directly picked up the hairtail piece and handed it to Tetsu Moroha, less than 20 centimeters away.

The fragrance that came to her face made Tie Zhuyu's brain lose the ability to think for a second. Her face turned red instantly and she waved her hand to refuse, but because they were too close, she had to put her hand down as soon as she raised it, looking a little embarrassed and cute.

Shimizu Koji smiled slightly and moved the chopsticks forward a little more. This time, Tie Zhuyu had to reach out to catch them subconsciously. Then, Shimizu Koji let go of the chopsticks and put them back as if nothing had happened, without looking at Tie Zhuyu again.

Tie Zhuyu was feeling a little confused. She subconsciously tidied the hair around her ears, then raised her eyes and glanced at Shimizu Koji who had continued to eat with his head down, and finally she breathed a sigh of relief.

The fried cutlassfish pieces cooled down quickly in the air and did not burn her. The fragrance lingered in her nose for a long time. It was impossible for Tie Zhuyu to put them back now. In other words, no one could take her cutlassfish away!

It was the first time for her to eat in front of outsiders, especially since she had just been so arrogant, so even though she had decided to eat, she still seemed a little embarrassed and only took small bites.

She slightly opened her cherry lips and bit lightly with her pearly teeth. The golden and crispy skin wrapped around small pieces of white jade-like fish meat. Tie Zhuyu's blush gradually faded, and a special feeling of satisfaction burst out from her bright eyes.

Then, another mouthful.

"Wait, you mean, a kendo competition-? But my mother isn't one of them?"

It took her two or three bites to match Shimizu Koji's one bite, but for Tetsu Zhuyu, this was already very satisfying. She finally remembered Shimizu Koji's casual words just now.

With a piece of hairtail in her hand and some golden fried food on her lips, her eyes seemed a little doubtful, but overall she looked more like an adorable girl.

"This is a long story. Actually, there were some misunderstandings between us when I first came to your house. But at that time, I didn't know the reasons behind it, so there is nothing I can explain to you."

As Shimizu Koji spoke, he kept picking up food with his chopsticks. Of course, he was not picking up food for himself, but for Tetsu Moroha sitting opposite him.

After all, there was a plate in front of Tetsu Moroha, so Shimizu Koji picked up several dishes and put them on the plate in front of her, which could be considered an alternative way of feeding her. Although Shimizu Koji actually wanted to continue feeding Tetsu Moroha directly like he did just now, that was somewhat inappropriate and it was impossible to continue forever.

Tie Zhuyu was stunned, and did not refuse or decline, because most of her attention was indeed attracted by Shimizu Koji's words.

"Probably - well, let's start with your father."

"My, father? Isn't he dead?"

"In a sense, he is dead. Don't worry, I will tell you slowly."

Chapter 463 Clarification

Father, this word is both familiar and unfamiliar to Tie Zhuyu.

The familiarity was that she had always had a goal of avenging her father since she could remember; and the unfamiliarity was, of course, because she had never seen her father, not even once, not even a photo, not even a name.

Koji Shimizu is a very strong storyteller. He was concise and to the point, and without much ado, he explained clearly what he knew about the events, as well as Tetsu Moroha's own misunderstanding of Tetsu Michiko.

During this period, except for the initial reaction of Tie Zhuyu, she became calmer as time went on, so calm that Shimizu Koji almost thought that she had been replaced or was stunned by the shock.

But no, Tie Zhuyu can even tell which vegetables can be eaten directly and which need to be peeled.

"Tetsuken Juro."

"Is this the name of that person?"

Tie Zhuyu put down his chopsticks and spoke softly, as if he was holding back something, but in the end, a few tears still fell silently.

She lowered her head slightly, and her bangs blocked her expression. It was obvious that Tetsu Moroha didn't want Shimizu Koji to see her ugly appearance, or in other words, no one who encountered such a situation would want others to see their most vulnerable side.

“It turns out that I have a father.”

She clenched her hands into fists and pressed them tightly against her thighs, tears falling from her eyes. Shimizu Koji saw it all, but did not say any words of comfort or continue speaking.

He had said almost everything he needed to say, except for the reason why Michiko had sought him out in the first place, there was basically nothing left out.

This reaction of Tetsu Moroha was also within the expectations of Koji Shimizu, but he did not expect that Tetsu Moroha would be so moved by a father he had never met.

Is this the result of the influence of machismo and patriarchy in traditional Japanese culture? This is an academic term that Haibara Ai often mentions, and Shimizu Koji now feels it is particularly applicable.

However, what surprised him was that Tie Zhuyu, who he thought was deeply moved, suddenly raised his head the next moment, his eyes were full of sharpness, as if filled with a strong murderous intent.

But it was only for a moment, and the momentum subsided.

"Sorry for making you laugh."

"Um, it's nothing. I understand how you feel. After all, even though your mother was just angry at the time, she has kept you in the dark for nearly ten years."

"No, I don't blame my mother." Tetsu Moroha interrupted Koji Shimizu.

"My mother, I don't think she did anything wrong. If my father is really that kind of person, he might as well be killed in a competition, and then I will avenge him."

Tie Zhuyu's face was cold and scary, and as she spoke, the hands that were pinching her pants became even tighter.

In fact, over the years, as she grew older, Tiezhu had doubts about her mother's flawed words, but as a filial daughter, she chose not to touch the scar that would make her mother lose her composure and cry whenever it was mentioned.

She had thought a lot about her father and the enemy who killed her father, but she had never imagined that the truth would be like this.

Her father was not killed, but he abandoned her mother, abandoned her, and abandoned the entire Tie family.

In order to pursue his own swordsmanship.

Even though he was also obsessed with kendo, Tetsu Moroha still couldn't understand Tetsuken Juro's decision.

Shimizu Koji stayed with Tie Zhuyu in silence for a while. When Tie Zhuyu relaxed a little, he slowly asked, "So, Zhuyu, do you have any ideas?"

Heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. Although for Tie Zhuyu, this is the day when the truth comes to light, old problems are solved and new problems arise.

Koji Shimizu was also trying to find out what Tetsu Moroha was thinking on behalf of Michiko Tetsu.

After all, after Tetsu Moroha learned the truth, if she didn't say it herself, it would be difficult for others to understand what she thought of Tetsuken Juro.

".I, I don't know, I don't know anything."

Tie Zhuyu looked quite depressed.

However, she adjusted herself very quickly, so quickly that even Shimizu Koji found it incredible. Tetsu Moroha shook her head, and less than half a minute later, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Shimizu Koji again.

Her eyes were slightly red, but her expression was very determined. She moved her cherry lips slightly, "Actually, I think I know why my mother taught you to practice kendo."

Shimizu Koji was slightly startled.

"I want you to defeat that guy, right?"

Wait, these titles, father, that man, and then that guy, isn’t this moving a little too fast?

Koji Shimizu felt a little strange. He neither denied nor nodded.

However, Tie Zhuyu looked at his reaction and became more certain of her guess. She rolled her eyes and her expression gradually became cold. "But, I don't need you now. I will kill him myself."

These words were quite astonishing. Shimizu Koji sensed her strong will and nodded calmly, expressing his approval. "But I think you may not be able to beat him."

Tie Zhuyu's momentum suddenly stagnated when he heard this, and his face stiffened slightly.

"Tetsuken Juro is almost a legendary swordsman now. Not to mention his elusive whereabouts, even if you find him, do you really think you have a chance of winning?"

"If I remember correctly, you haven't even comprehended the sword intent yet. How can you defeat him? A sneak attack?"

Shimizu Koji smiled playfully and crossed his legs leisurely. Now that he knew what Tie Zhuyu was thinking, he could probably infer Tie Zhuyu's mental journey.

There won't be any big problem. This tsundere young lady is still sober. If she insists on finding the man who abandoned his wife and children, leaving her alone for more than ten years and her mother who worked hard to raise her, and then rekindling this completely dead relationship, then Shimizu Koji may really have to take her to see a doctor.

Tie Zhu Yu was choked by Shimizu Koji and was speechless. She also wanted to argue for her own strength, but in front of Shimizu Koji, she really couldn't be tough.

"Maybe, when he's too old to walk, you can give it a try then?"

"Enough! What do you want to say?" Tie Zhuyu's face turned red again because of anger.

This is quite interesting.

"I don't have anything special to say, I just want to remind you that your strength is far from enough. For the time being, this is just an agreement between your mother and me, and you don't need to interfere."

"And if I were you, the first thing I would consider is how to comfort and understand my mother. What do you think?"

Chapter 464 You, Tie Zhuyu, are such a ruthless person!

Time always goes by quickly when chatting. There were eight dishes and one soup, and neither of them actually ate much, but Tie Zhuyu was no longer hungry.

The maid took away the remaining food. In the room, Tetsu Moroha was silent for a long time with an embarrassed look on her face before she finally nodded and accepted some of the suggestions given to her by Shimizu Koji.

She would act coquettishly with her mother, massage her shoulders, talk to her, take a walk in the garden together, etc. She did this all the time anyway, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

However, most of the time she did this in the past, it was because she was accidentally caught and had to make the choice in order to cover up the fact that she was practicing kendo, not because she really wanted to accompany Tetsu Michiko.

The more Tie Zhuyu thought about it, the more she felt that what Shimizu Koji said made sense. It could even be said that it was very much to her liking. Yes, her mother was the person she, as a daughter, should care about the most now.

As she thought about it, Tie Zhuyu's thoughts drifted back to the afternoon. Just this afternoon, she and her mother had a big fight over her misogyny towards men.

eh wait

Tie Zhuyu suddenly had an idea in his mind. He blinked and glanced at Shimizu Koji opposite him.

Misogyny——?

In fact, after she knew this, she also tried to test it herself. However, when she thought about having any intimate physical contact with the boys in the class, she trembled all over and felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

Even the bodyguards at home didn't want them to get too close to them.

It can be said that Tie Zhuyu has also diagnosed herself, but now she suddenly realized that she did not seem to have such aversion to Shimizu Koji.

No - not at all.

Suddenly, Tie Zhuyu's face turned slightly red. No one knew what he was thinking of. Shimizu Koji would definitely not be able to guess it. He didn't even notice it.

Koji Shimizu felt that he had almost finished the psychological counseling for Tetsu Moroha, but in fact his mind had already wandered elsewhere. He looked at the time, and then looked again.

It was already 11:30 pm. If it was any later, he really wouldn't be able to get into the room if he went back.

"Um, Zhu Yu, it's getting late, so I won't stay and bother you."

For a period of time, after experiencing the benefits of money and power, Koji Shimizu did think about having something happen between him and Tetsu Moroha, or even Tetsu Michiko, but it was just a thought.

As he deliberately and accidentally got entangled with more and more women, he naturally had responsibilities on his shoulders. He now really felt that he was overwhelmed. Unless the other party came to him, Shimizu Koji would hardly consider taking the initiative to do anything.

So, feeling that the time was right, he simply submitted his resignation.

Tie Zhuyu was stunned for a moment before she reacted, and then she became a little confused.

Tetsu Moroha didn't know that Shimizu Koji knew that she was misogynistic, and he was even the attending physician specially hired by her mother. Otherwise, she would definitely not be so conflicted.

Tokyo is both small and big. Except for an accidental encounter before, Tetsumoha and Shimizu Koji have hardly ever met each other outside again. And in the past two or three months, they have only met once or twice at home.

She knew very well that Koji Shimizu's success was not easy to come by.

Her mother has sacrificed too much for her and worried too much over the past decade. If, if she can prove that she does not have this strange disease.

Tie Zhuyu knew very well how terrible it would be for a girl to suffer from misogyny androgyny in the eyes of her mother.

She didn't want to make her mother worry about her anymore.

She was no longer evading or lying. She truly felt that she had no hatred or aversion towards Shimizu Koji. She just wanted further verification and proof.

But seeing Shimizu Koji getting up to leave, Tetsu Moroha suddenly panicked. Her eyes moved rapidly, and then she stood up quickly, "Then, I'll take you out."

"Oh? Thank you then."

Koji Shimizu smiled slightly, a little surprised, but also felt that this was a good phenomenon, so he did not reject Tetsu Zhuyu's kindness.

Tie Zhuyu silently accompanied Shimizu Koji and walked him down the stairs all the way to the empty hall on the first floor. When they were about to reach the gate, Tie Zhuyu finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

But the timing is not right yet!

"Just send it here, Zhu Yu, you go upstairs to your room."

The huge mansion was deserted and there was no one near the empty hall. However, Koji Shimizu had reason to suspect that this was a special situation today, or perhaps someone had seen him and Tetsu Zhuyu early and had simply evacuated their people.

"No, you didn't drive here today, did you? I'll go outside and ask someone to take you back."

Tie Zhuyu shook his head, seeming a little persistent.

Koji Shimizu didn't think much about it and felt that it was indeed suitable, so he didn't say anything polite.

They certainly wouldn't go through the main gate that was more than ten meters high in the middle of the night. Instead, they walked out of the mansion from the side door of the gate. It was just night outside.

At first glance, the view is extremely broad, the marble steps are wide and long, and standing at the gate and looking out, you even have the illusion of looking down.

The entire Tie family manor seemed quiet. Under the pale moonlight, only the faint light of fireflies and the red light of infrared surveillance appeared from time to time.

"Let's go."

Without stopping, Tetsu Moroha took the lead and walked down the stairs. Shimizu Koji followed while admiring the night view.
