Tokyo: Restricted Tutor

Chapter 250: Our Son is Back!

"Oh, this..."

Hearing Hojo Saki Rei ask that, Asahi Rinka felt a little awkward at the moment.

However, it was her first time visiting someone's home, and she didn't know what to bring.

As a result, she brought whatever Asahi Mafi gave her, completely unaware that she had been tricked by Asahi Mafi.

Of course, Asahi Mafi did this entirely for her own good.

Looking at Hojo Saki Rei in front of her, Asahi Rinka lowered her head, feeling a little embarrassed.

As for Hojo Saki Rei, after saying that, he also felt a bit inappropriate.

In fact, they were classmates, so it was normal for Asahi Rinka to visit his home. As for her bringing so many things, it was probably because she felt it would be bad if she brought too little.

Moreover, Hojo Saki Rei also realized that Asahi Rinka listened to Asahi Mafi's arrangements and brought so many things because of him.

After all, she liked him, so she naturally wanted to gain the favor of his parents.

Thinking of this, Hojo Saki Rei stopped looking at Asahi Rinka, started the engine, and drove off.

Along the way, there were many cars on the road due to the holiday.

Fortunately, after leaving the bustling streets of Tokyo, the traffic lanes became much clearer, and Hojo Saki Rei's driving speed also increased significantly.

"Rei-kun, how far is it from here to your house?"

They had just left the city, and Asahi Rinka looked at Hojo Saki Rei with some concern and asked.

Although they had just left the city, it had taken them about an hour, as the traffic was incredibly congested today.

Seeing Hojo Saki Rei drive for so long, she naturally felt a little distressed.

"Just check the navigation. It's not too far, actually. We'll still get there tonight. The navigation shows that there aren't many cars on this road."

Hojo Saki Rei smiled and then said.

"Oh."

Hearing Hojo Saki Rei tell her to look at the navigation, Asahi Rinka felt a little embarrassed again.

Did I just bother Rei-kun? To the point that Rei-kun doesn't want to talk to me?

Asahi Rinka thought to herself. After realizing that she couldn't lose Hojo Saki Rei, Asahi Rinka was very worried about making Hojo Saki Rei dislike her or doing something Hojo Saki Rei wouldn't like.

Asahi Rinka's sudden silence made Hojo Saki Rei a little bewildered.

After all, the old Asahi Rinka wasn't like this.

He turned his head and saw that Asahi Rinka's expression seemed a little off.

Thinking that it was Asahi Rinka's first time going home with another male classmate, and it was someone she liked, and it was her first time meeting his parents, it was normal for her to be worried.

Hojo Saki Rei suddenly felt that he might have been a bit cold just now.

"Rinka, are you worried about something?"

Hojo Saki Rei asked, pretending to be unaware.

"Huh?"

"No, no."

Hearing Hojo Saki Rei ask her, Asahi Rinka, who had just been thinking about how to make Hojo Saki Rei's parents like her after going home with Hojo Saki Rei, immediately replied.

But soon, she added, "Actually, there's a little bit. After all, I'm going to Rei-kun's house, and I'm going back with Rei-kun so suddenly. Uncle and Auntie don't know about this, so it will definitely cause them trouble, right?"

Asahi Rinka said this, and her expression showed a little more worry.

Seeing her like that, Hojo Saki Rei naturally knew that what she said was from her heart.

So, Hojo Saki Rei quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, Rinka-san is not only excellent but also very cute in appearance, and most importantly, she's so well-behaved. My parents will definitely like you very much."

Hojo Saki Rei continued, "And although our place is a bit remote and can't compare to Tokyo, there are definitely many places that Rinka will like."

"My parents are actually very good people. If they see me bringing back such a cute and excellent girl like you, they will definitely be very happy, so you can rest assured."

"Really?" Hearing Hojo Saki Rei say that, Asahi Rinka felt a little relieved, and her eyes were full of anticipation as she looked at Hojo Saki Rei, as if afraid that what Hojo Saki Rei said was false.

Am I really that excellent and cute girl in Hojo Saki Rei's heart?

Moreover, Hojo Saki Rei mentioned so many of my strengths, does that mean my previous guesses were all true?

Does Rei-kun really like me?

Thinking of this, Asahi Rinka was naturally very much looking forward to it.

"But Rei-kun, don't worry, no matter how Uncle and Auntie see me, I will definitely do my best to make them truly like me."

Asahi Rinka said firmly, as if she had already prepared herself to face Hojo Saki Rei's parents.

Turning his head, when Hojo Saki Rei saw her determined expression, he couldn't help but feel that Asahi Rinka in front of him was too cute.

Along the way, Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka also talked about many topics.

Logically speaking, driving for such a long time, most people would be unable to bear it and would feel some fatigue.

However, Hojo Saki Rei was not an ordinary person. With the system's enhancement, Hojo Saki Rei's physical fitness was much better than that of ordinary people.

So driving was not a problem for Hojo Saki Rei at all.

Asahi Rinka, on the other hand, after riding in the car for a long time, appeared to be quite sleepy.

"Go to sleep. We'll be there when you wake up. I'll call you when we arrive."

Turning his head, seeing that Asahi Rinka was already sleepy, Hojo Saki Rei shook his head and couldn't help but say.

If he had encountered something like this in the past, Hojo Saki Rei would definitely complain inwardly, because people who drive for a long time always hope that the person riding with them can chat with them.

Because only in this way can they stay awake.

But now, Asahi Rinka, who was sitting in the passenger seat, actually fell asleep?

If this happened to others, they would naturally be dissatisfied with Asahi Rinka.

Hearing Hojo Saki Rei's voice, Asahi Rinka immediately woke up.

When she looked at Hojo Saki Rei, her eyes were full of apology.

She naturally knew that people who drive long distances get very tired, and she also wanted to chat with Hojo Saki Rei to keep him awake, but she had actually felt sleepy just now.

For her, this was a great sin that she could not forgive herself for.

"Rei-kun, I... I'm really sorry. I don't know why I felt a little sleepy just now, but I promise this won't happen again."

Asahi Rinka said emphatically.

"If you're sleepy, just sleep. I'm fine, I can manage it myself. And from here to my house, it will only take less than an hour."

Looking at Asahi Rinka, who seemed to be forcing herself to stay awake, Hojo Saki Rei felt that she was very cute at the moment, so he said directly.

"No need, I'm not sleepy."

However, when Hojo Saki Rei reminded her again, Asahi Rinka directly refused.

Seeing her like that, Hojo Saki Rei said again, "Are you sure you don't want to? This is my first time bringing a classmate home, and a female classmate at that. Once we get to my house, it's very likely that you won't get any rest until very late tonight."

"Huh?"

"Then I'll rest for a bit, but in that case, Rei-kun, are you really okay?"

Asahi Rinka was naturally a little scared when she heard Hojo Saki Rei say that.

She naturally thought of various scenes where Hojo Saki Rei's parents would be exceptionally enthusiastic towards her once she arrived at Hojo Saki Rei's home. Thinking of these, how could Asahi Rinka not feel a little worried about it?

"Of course, just rest assured. I'll remind you when we're about to arrive."

Under Hojo Saki Rei's assurance, Asahi Rinka, who felt even more tired and had just forced herself to stay awake, now fell directly asleep.

Seeing her asleep, Hojo Saki Rei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, it would still take about two hours to get to Iwate Prefecture from here, but this was not difficult for Hojo Saki Rei.

After Asahi Rinka fell asleep, Hojo Saki Rei did not deliberately speed up. To make Asahi Rinka sleep more comfortably, he deliberately slowed down and maintained a steady speed.

At the same time, he also took out his phone and sent a message to Hoki Taeko, saying that he was bringing a female classmate home.

Iwate Prefecture.

On a farm.

At this moment, Hoki Taeko was organizing the farm. Hoki Taeko was, of course, Hojo Saki Rei's Hoki Taeko.

Thinking that Hojo Saki Rei should be on holiday now, Hoki Taeko naturally missed her son more.

Thinking that her son hadn't returned for so long, even though they had only talked on the phone for a few days, Hoki Taeko, as a mother, was naturally not satisfied with just contacting her son by phone.

So at this moment, while working, she was thinking about whether to tell her son to come home for a visit.

If not, she would ask someone to help with the farm for a few days and go to Tokyo to see her son.

However, just as she was thinking about these things, her phone received a message at that very moment.

She opened it and saw that it was a message from Hojo Saki Rei.

Seeing the message from her son, Hoki Taeko's somewhat troubled expression suddenly relaxed.

Immediately after, she excitedly opened the message from Hojo Saki Rei.

"Mom, I'll be home in about two hours. I'm bringing a classmate home this time. Are you and Dad home?"

The moment she opened the message, Hoki Taeko saw this text message from Hojo Saki Rei.

When she saw Hojo Saki Rei say that he was almost home, Hoki Taeko was stunned.

She had just been thinking about whether to ask her son to come back, and then her son said he was almost home?

Hoki Taeko, as a mother, was incredibly excited and happy at this moment.

But soon, she reacted.

She turned her head and saw her husband still working not far away, and without hesitation, she shouted loudly towards him.

"Kawabe, our son is back!"

"Kawabe, Kawabe, did you hear me? Our son is back!"

Hoki Taeko called out several times to Kawabe Takuya, who was not far away.

Kawabe Takuya, who was originally working, turned his head without hesitation the moment he heard Hoki Taeko's voice.

Immediately after, he heard Hoki Taeko say that their son was back.

For a moment, Kawabe Takuya was completely stunned.

He was somewhat unable to believe whether what Hoki Taeko said was true or false.

"Kawabe, didn't you hear? Our son is back!"

Just as Kawabe Takuya was wondering if he had misheard, Hoki Taeko's voice came again.

Immediately, Kawabe Takuya quickly reacted.

"Is this true? Taeko, you're not lying to me, are you?"

Kawabe Takuya quickly asked.

After all, his son hadn't returned since he went to Tokyo.

Several years had passed, and now his wife was telling him that their son was back?

As a father, how could Kawabe Takuya not be shocked?

Of course, Kawabe Takuya had no intention of being angry about Hojo Saki Rei not returning since he went to Tokyo; instead, he was proud of it.

After all, they lived in a small county town, and his son got into a school in Tokyo. He naturally hoped that his son could establish himself in Tokyo.

Hojo Saki Rei hadn't returned, and over the years, he hadn't urged them for living expenses or anything.

In his opinion, this meant that his son had already settled down there to some extent.

Now that he knew his son was back, how could he not be happy about it?

Although he indeed hoped his son would live well, he also missed his son dearly.

"Of course, look, this is the message our son just sent me. They'll be here soon. Don't clean up yet. Go to the market to buy some vegetables now. I should go back and cook too. Our son loves my cooking the most, so I need to prepare the meal first so he can have a hot meal when he gets back."

Hoki Taeko walked towards Kawabe Takuya, opened the message on her phone, and showed it to Kawabe Takuya.

Kawabe Takuya, who had been somewhat skeptical, knew his wife wasn't deceiving him the moment he saw the message.

So he immediately agreed.
