Tokyo Love Story

Perhaps, it can be described more romantically. This is the fate that cannot be explained.

However, as a parent, it is time to interrupt and bring the two people back to the main topic.

"Ahem." Tsugumi Makoto coughed heavily, looked at someone with an intimidating look, then turned his head to look at Kitagawa Che, "Let's continue with the topic just now, okay?"

"Feel sorry."

Tsugumi Seina lowered her brows and sat up straight.

At this moment, the carefree girl of the past became a little girl again in front of her mother. As long as her mother glared at her, she would immediately restrain herself.

"of course."

Beichuan Che nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

At the same time, he was also mentally prepared.

No matter what Tsugumi Makoto talks about next, he will find a way to continue the topic.

To quote a sentence that Ejima Tadashi often teases him about, this is his personality. Once he decides to do something, he will do it to the best of his ability and will never think of doing it perfunctorily.

But life always likes to play jokes on people.

The topics that Tsugumi Makoto brought up were not those that sounded very heavy, but rather, to Kitagawa Che's surprise, they were quite life-like.

Tsugumi Makoto started chatting with him about family matters.

To put it more directly, it's family chores.

From buying groceries and cooking, to sorting garbage, and then to watching the weather forecast on time every day.

Tsugumi Seina was stunned by what she heard.

Fortunately, Kitagawa Che reacted very promptly and naturally took up the conversation, and had a very pleasant chat with Tsugumi Makoto.

But, for Tsugumi Seina, she was somewhat unable to join in the conversation between the two.

She knew quite a bit about the kitchen, but both Kitagawa Che and her mother were experts in cooking. Talking at this time would only make herself look awkward.

"Well, that's enough small talk then."

After talking about some tips on washing clothes, Tsugumi Makoto stood up and gave Kitagawa Che a gentle look.

"Next, please ask Kitagawa-kun to go to the second floor. Rina's grandfather wants to see you."

What she meant was that she had passed this hurdle.

Thanks to Qianlongzaiyuanfengchenxizhang, Xianqizhujiu, and Daertutuh for their monthly tickets. Your support is the motivation for my writing.

Chapter 211 Responsible

Perhaps it is just as the saying goes, every scene in life is made up of coincidences one after another. Who knows, the person you looked at more in the crowd that day might be the new neighbor living next door, and the kind old man you met and talked to might be your neighbor's grandfather.

In the study on the third floor.

Beichuan Che knocked on the door and entered, looking at the familiar face of the old man in front of him, and felt an indescribable subtle feeling.

Even though he had already prepared himself mentally before knocking on the door, his expression inevitably became interesting the moment he actually saw Tsugumi Makoto.

"Nice to meet you again, Che."

Compared to his expression, Tsugumi Makoto seemed much more indifferent. The old man smiled gently and took the initiative to greet him.

Yes, Mr. Tsugumi Makoto."

Beichuan Che was silent for a moment, then quickly came to his senses and responded.

"Don't be nervous. I don't mean to embarrass you. Sit down first and we'll talk slowly."

Tsuchiya Kazuhiko waved to Kitagawa Che, indicating that he and Tsuchiya Rina should sit down first.

After the two of them sat down, he slowly broke the silence in the room with a casual tone, "I've heard about Che's affairs from Rina many times."

After the words fell, Beichuan Che did not rush to respond, but silently waited for the old man to continue.

After all, he had heard such an opening speech before from Tsugumi Makina's mother, Tsugumi Makinayo.

"Thank you for taking care of Rina during those days."

Tsugumi Seihiko lowered his eyebrows slightly and first thanked him sincerely.

"Well, it's not one-sided care, it might be more accurate to say we help each other."

Beichuan Che reacted quickly. He immediately shook his head and started to explain.

That's not a compliment.

Because based on the facts, he and Tsugumi Seina do take care of each other.

Although this neighbor was a freeloader, he gave every bit of help that was due.

"Is that right?"

Tsugumi Makoto raised his head and looked at his granddaughter meaningfully.

The family knows their own business well. Their granddaughter is not bad, but when it comes to life, it is really... hard to describe.

From what he knew, it was no exaggeration to say that Kitagawa Tetsu was taking care of Tsugumi Seina unilaterally in life.

"Uh..." Tsugumi Seina's expression was subtle for a moment. She avoided her grandfather's gaze and added in a complicated tone, "Half and half."

"Do you believe what you said?"

Tsugumi Makoto shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said something half-jokingly and half-seriously.

I raised my granddaughter myself, so how could I not know her character?

Whenever she showed such an expression and didn't dare to look people in the eye, most of the words she said were just for the sake of showing off. Of course, to put it more bluntly, it was just to save face.

Tsugumi Seina didn't respond, choosing to pretend she didn't hear it.

Looking at his granddaughter's expression, Tsugumi Seiichi shook his head and didn't intend to argue with her. He turned his head and his eyes fell on Kitagawa Che's face and continued chatting with him, "When I have a purpose, I hate beating around the bush."

Hearing this, Beichuan Che nodded.

He could probably guess what the other person meant by this sentence.

Simply put, the polite words have been said. Next, the old man doesn't want to continue beating around the bush. He plans to lay some things out in the open. After that, the things he wanted to ask can come to an end.

For Kitagawa Che, he was more accustomed to this straightforward way of chatting, compared to tapping on the side, talking in circles for a long time, and then talking about things that gave him a headache just thinking about them.

"What Rina conveyed this time is that she doesn't want... no, she doesn't want her family to arrange a blind date for her. She needs enough freedom in love."

Tsugumi Makoto Kazuhiko glanced at Tsugumi Makoto Rina, who subconsciously shrank behind Kitagawa Che like a frightened rabbit.

He didn't even need to go downstairs. Just by thinking about it, he could guess what had just happened downstairs.

Perhaps the only thing that could make him feel a little relieved was that Chiyo was watching her and she had no chance to take direct action.

"For this reason, we respect her choice, but some things cannot be resolved by just saying respect." Tsugumi Makoto paused, put away the relaxed and pleasant expression just now, and replaced it with endless seriousness between his eyebrows, "We can give Rina enough tolerance, but we also hope to get an accurate answer from Rina."

In fact, according to his original idea, he was not going to talk about this with Beichuan Che today, but after meeting Beichuan Che, his idea suddenly changed.

All the things he wanted to talk about were forgotten by him.

Or, from another perspective, saying this might feel a bit like cheating, but as a grandfather, he still wants to fight for his granddaughter.

"what do you mean……"

Kitagawa Che's eyes fell on Tsuchiya Seiichi's face and he asked a question as if asking for advice.

"I know the relationship between you and Rina, and I know the purpose of your visit today. I can give Rina enough time to implement her ideas, but in exchange, I hope to get a guarantee from her, or from you, that can put our minds at ease."

Tsugumi Makoto met Kitagawa Che's gaze and said these words in a serious tone.

He and Beichuan Che have dealt with each other twice.

He thought he had a certain understanding of this young man.

He might not dare to make such a promise to other people, but he was confident about Beichuan Che in front of him. He would do his best to fulfill what the young man promised.

People with calm personalities always have one thing in common: they don’t make promises easily.

For them, once they have promised something, they will definitely find ways to fulfill it.

And the Beichuan Che in front of him is such a person.

In other words, according to this line of thinking, as long as you ask him for a guarantee at this time, it will be the safest "insurance".

Of course, it doesn't matter even if the "insurance" fails in the end. After all, it is just a means of escalating the situation.

only……

Tsugumi Makoto smiled bitterly in his heart. When he thought about how he still had to worry about such things for his granddaughter at his age, he felt a little complicated.

but.

Beichuan Che's handsome face with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes was reflected in his eyes.

My granddaughter does have good taste.

It's reasonable to worry a little.

"grandfather!"

Tsugumi Makina keenly sensed what her grandfather meant, and subconsciously raised her head and looked at Tsugumi Makina Kazuhiko, biting her thin lips lightly and reminded him.

Even though she knew that her grandfather was doing this for her own good, she still didn't want to use such means.

A bit too 'mean'.

Tsugumi Makoto didn't say anything, he just turned his eyebrows away and looked at her.

The eyes of the grandfather and grandson met in the air.

But unlike in the past, in such an eye contact, Tsugumi Seina did not choose to look away, but met her grandfather's gaze without fear.

When their eyes met, the study suddenly fell silent.

In Tsuchiya Seina's opinion, love is a very private matter.

It is too difficult to seek a 'bottom line' in a relationship, or rather, seeking a mandatory 'bottom line' is wrong in itself.

People who are good to you will naturally be good to you. People who are not good to you will not be good to you no matter what you say.

The more you pursue such a 'guaranteed bottom line', the more likely you are to end up in a mess.

She could understand her grandfather's thoughts, but she did not accept this approach.

"If... within three years, Sister Rina still hasn't found the right person, I will be responsible."

Beichuan Che hesitated for a moment, but still gave this answer.

He could tell that Tsuchiya Makoto was not joking. In other words, if this guarantee was not given, there was a high probability that today's matter would not be able to be smoothly implemented.

To put it in a joking way, if nothing unexpected happens, Tsugumi Makoto can spend the whole day with them on this issue.

If you think about it this way, a quick solution is the best solution.

What's more, the three-year period is neither long nor short. In other words, this period of time is enough.

“Che…”

After she finished speaking, Tsugumi Seirina turned her head and her eyes fell on Kitagawa Che's face.

There was a strange look in those beautiful eyes.

She really never thought that Beichuan Che would say such a thing.

"Then..." Tsugumi Seihiko showed a satisfied smile. His goal had been achieved. "We are willing to give her full freedom in matters concerning Rina."

Thank you to teachers Dan Xue and Ying Han for their monthly tickets. Your support is my motivation for writing.

Chapter 212 What if I take your words seriously?

Life always likes to play jokes on people. In a sense, it is completely appropriate to say that it is moody.

When you have made the worst-case scenario plan, it is more likely to give you a result that is not so bad; but when you are full of expectations, it will immediately pour a basin of cold water on you, and then throw an answer in your face that is far from your expectations, and then tell you that you are happy too early.

After receiving the reply from Tsugumi Makoto, things became unusually smooth.

Kitagawa Che, who had originally planned to pick up Tsuchiya Makoto and Rina and leave, was invited by Tsuchiya Makoto's family to stay and have dinner.

It was this dinner that he felt was somewhat strange.
