"What are you looking at?" Watanabe Toru turned his head.

A family of three, followed by Asuka Mai.

Also, the restaurant had turned on a TV at some point, with the volume very low, and was broadcasting the final moments of the marathon.

"I know him." Toru Watanabe pointed at the first black man who crossed the finish line. "Lilesa, I used to run with him."

"In terms of achievements in running, it's more appropriate to say 'I ran with him'." Kiyono Rin met the eyes of Asuka Mai who was looking over here.

Chapter 234 Confession

"Wow, this place is great!" said a little girl who looked like a junior high school student.

"Lihua, this is specially picked for you by your mother." The man who looked like a father among the four said with a smile.

"Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Mom!" The little girl's voice was as cheerful as a lark.

"If you don't understand something at school, you can ask your sister," said the mother.

"Yes!" The little girl said to Asu Mai with a smile, "Sister Mai, please!"

Asu Mai nodded slightly.

The waiter led the four people to sit at the reserved seat, which was neither far nor close to Watanabe Toru and the others.

"Come to think of it," Qing Ye Lin took her eyes away from Asuka Mai and looked at Watanabe Toru in front of her, "You haven't told me about your relationship with Asuka Mai."

"..."

"Don't want to tell me?"

"No," said Toru Watanabe. "When we were camping in the winter, I said: I will tell you anything you want to know."

"Are you reminding me of what I said myself? 'I won't ask you anything you don't want to talk about'?"

"Whether I want to tell you or not depends on whether you want to know."

Qingye Rin cut the beef with a knife: "Go ahead."

"You guess first?"

"Lover?" Qingye Rin put the beef into her mouth and glanced at Watanabe Toru.

"..."

too fast.

"Yes." Watanabe Toru nodded.

Kiyono Rin is just his friend, there’s nothing to feel guilty about such a thing…right?

Kiyono Rin chewed regularly while continuing to cut the beef with the knife in her hand.

After three seconds of silence, Watanabe Toru couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have anything to ask?"

"It's Kujo Miki who should have the headache, not me." Kiyono Rin continued to eat beef.

It has nothing to do with her, but...

"Can I tell you about what happened between me and Mai-senpai?"

"You don't have to report everything to me. It's not necessary."

"Are you angry?" Compared to before, Watanabe Toru was happier.

"I'm never angry, I just get upset sometimes." Qingye Lin took a sip of water, "You don't have to care about me."

"Qingye, give me some time, I will explain."

"I'll leave after I finish eating." Qingye Rin continued to eat the half remaining steak.

"My story with Senior Mai started with the dispute over the four northern islands..."

Watanabe Toru told Kiyono Rin the whole story - of course he only glossed over what happened at night.

By the time he finished speaking, the steak was already finished.

Qing Ye Lin gently wiped her lips with a towel and confirmed in a calm voice:

"You've gone to such lengths and rejected her so many times, but she still won't give up?"

"If it weren't for this, I would never betray my K-san. In order to stick to my principles, I'll just be... well, a friend to you."

Kiyono Rin recalled the words Watanabe Toru said when they were camping in winter and lying on the advanced snow slope.

"If there is a next life, let's meet sooner."

There is really no reason for a man who rejects a beautiful girl like himself to look for someone else.

Toru Watanabe is a gentle person, she knew it since the time she was at Shinagawa Aquarium.

Watanabe Toru is such a person who chokes people, deliberately says that he is afraid of Kujo Miki, is greedy for money, and sacrifices his reputation to save others.

But Mai Asu's actions also surprised her.

Knowing that the other party wanted to "kill" her, she not only did not resist, but also reminded him to use succinate and not leave any traces. Such an incredible thing actually happened to her.

Speaking of incredible, isn't she even more incredible...

"So what are you going to do now?" she asked.

"Since we have decided to be together, we naturally cannot let her down."

"What about Kujo Miki?"

Watanabe Toru took a deep breath and sighed slowly.

"There will always be a way. Anyway, I won't let any of them leave me."

"You mean, if you're not discovered, you plan to keep it a secret from Kujo?"

Watanabe Toru was a little embarrassed.

As expected of the God Qingye who sees through lies, he can always grasp people's innermost thoughts.

"Yes." Watanabe Toru could only nod.

"You can even say something like that?"

"Good or bad, I don't want to hide anything from you."

The corners of Qingye Rin's mouth curved up, showing her smile.

But trying to see a smile from above is like seeking moisture from the yellow sand on the surface of the desert.

"So..." Watanabe Toru looked directly at Kiyono Rin, "What do you think now?"

"What can I think?" Qingye Rin put away her smile without any smile.

Her expression returned to calm.

After a long while, she asked:

"If one day you find that you like me more than Kujo Miki and beg me on your knees to date me, and I let you cut off contact with them, would you be willing?"

Kneel down and ask for a relationship...

Toru Watanabe knew what she meant, but this way of being upset was really unique.

"That day will never come. We will always be the closest friends," said Toru Watanabe.

After that, he explained, "After the incident with Mai-senpai, I decided not to smile at other girls or associate with other girls."

"That sounds nice." Qing Ye Lin nodded, "Then can you promise that you will never kneel down and beg me to date you?"

"I am determined to do this, but there is really no guarantee that I will do so."

"Since there is no guarantee, then it is possible." Qingye Rin said, "When that day comes, what are you going to do?"

She raised her right index finger and her left index and middle fingers: "Which side?"

"By the way," Qing Ye Lin spoke again, "Do you have anyone else? Tell us all together."

"It's gone! It's really gone! I'm a good person!"

"Good guy?" Qing Ye Lin sneered, "Choose."

Toru Watanabe felt that her calm tone was very scary, but there was also a faint sense of being pampered. What was going on with this feeling?

"Is it difficult?" Seeing that he remained silent, Qingye Rin asked.

"It's difficult." Watanabe Toru nodded.

"Then let me help you analyze it." She looked at her right hand with only the index finger raised, "If you choose this side, you will have to give up two people, as well as the fourth and fifth who may appear in the future."

"Choose this side," she turned her head and looked at her left hand, "two, no, with Kujo Miki's intelligence and ability, she will be discovered sooner or later, and then based on her jealousy and possessiveness...what will happen to Asuka Mai, you know better than me."

She withdrew her hands, took a sip of lemonade, and looked towards Asuka Mai.

As Toru Watanabe said, in that reconstituted family, there was a wall between her and the other three people.

It’s because of her parents, but also because of Asuka Mai’s own cold personality.

Asu Mai looked over here and the two looked at each other.

"Will you tell Miki about what happened between me and senior Mai?" asked Toru Watanabe.

"This matter is not my business, and I don't like to spread other people's private affairs. However," Qing Ye Lin retracted her gaze, "I have nothing to do with her, and I am not as gentle as you. I will not interfere with what happens to her in the future with Kujo Miki."

"I will protect her," said Toru Watanabe.

"You mean, choose them?"

Watanabe Toru was speechless. After a moment of silence, he said, "I have already let Meiji down once."

"Then get ready for the second time."

"…What do you mean by that? Do you look down on me?"

"I can feel your feelings. It won't be long before you fall in love with me so much that you kneel down and beg me to date you."

"How did you feel it? Why didn't I feel it? Or are you starting to lie?"

"Look at our chat history today." Qingye Rin said while drinking lemonade.

Watanabe Toru took out his cell phone and flipped through it: "Nothing special."

I didn't feel anything when I sent it, I just felt happy, very happy, and my hands moved faster than my brain.

"Watanabe-san," Qing Ye Lin put down the cup, "please be prepared to sever ties with them, and think of the lines to say when you kneel down and beg me."

"You are so confident." Watanabe put away his phone without saying anything.

At this moment, a chaotic sound suddenly came.

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw Asu Mai's mother leaving angrily. The husband hurriedly followed her.

The little junior high school girl looked at Asu Mai who was staying there, then looked at her parents, picked up her parents' coats and bags, and ran out to chase after them.

The waiter cautiously walked towards Asuka Mai, who was left alone at the table, and asked something in a low voice.

Asu Mai said nothing, picked up her bag, walked towards Watanabe Toru and the others, and sat down at the table.

Watanabe Toru rang the bell and called the waiter: "Please bring three more servings of Normandy veal, baked snails with Burgundy herb sauce, tender chicken soup, chilled sea bass fillet, and dry-fried cod."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

After the waiter left, Watanabe Toru took Asuka Mai's hand and didn't ask what happened. He just said:

"I am here."

"...Tetsu." Asuhi Mai shook his hand back firmly, staring at him without blinking.

"How long are you going to hold hands?" Qingye Rin looked at the two people holding hands coldly.

Watanabe Toru let go awkwardly, but Asu Mai was still looking at him.

Kiyono Rin looked at Mai Asuka like this. She had vaguely noticed that something was wrong before, but she had never realized that she was wrong to this extent.

"What happened just now?" Watanabe Toru asked.

"I told them not to give me living expenses and rent. They asked why, and I told them I was being kept. They wanted to cut off ties with me." Asu Mai's words were simple, and her voice was emotionless, as if she was talking about someone else's business.

"Keeping a mistress?" Qing Ye Lin couldn't help but sneered and said to Watanabe Toru, "You are even more stupid than I thought. You dare to use Kujo Miki's money to buy things for other women. It seems that your end will come soon."

"Toru?" Asu Mai tilted her head slightly.
