Tokyo Love Story

From this perspective, my mother's living habits give me a sense of déjà vu.

——It is really too close to retired elderly people.

"Very surprised?"

Morishima Yukie blinked, took two steps forward, and stood next to Morishima Yukisa.

The mother and daughter stood side by side.

"Ah."

Yukisa Morishima glanced at her mother and expressed her true thoughts.

Hearing this, Morishima Yukie smiled humorously and raised the plastic bag in her hand, "I came out to buy some fruit. I thought it was on the way, so I came to wait for you."

"Oh."

After hearing this explanation, Yukisa Morishima nodded, and then set out on the journey home with her mother.

The slightly intoxicated sunshine spreads all over the city.

In the dazzling glass that was shimmering with light, the streets and alleys of the city seemed to be covered with an inexplicable filter of the times. Suddenly, time seemed to have returned to the last century.

After walking through the intersection, Morishima Yukie coughed softly and took the initiative to start a conversation between mother and daughter. "Looking back, it's been a long time since we've walked home together like this."

Morishima Yukisa was silent for a moment, then turned her head and continued the conversation in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, "Because you are too busy at work."

This is both a complaint and the truth.

During that period, Yukie Morishima was very busy at work and often had to work until eleven or twelve o'clock at night before she could go home. Even when she went home, she often looked exhausted and rarely had the energy to chat with her or care about her situation.

"Feel sorry."

Hearing her daughter's complaints, a hint of guilt flashed across Morishima Yukie's eyes.

The music industry is actually not as pure as most people imagine.

Without any background or backing, if you want to make a name for yourself, you not only need to be strong enough yourself, but also have strong social skills. You need to be versatile and get along with everyone, while also maintaining a social distance from others to avoid getting into trouble.

But dealing with people is a very mentally exhausting thing.

This directly led to the fact that during that period, when she returned home, even if she saw her daughter who was waiting for her anxiously, she could only force a smile, simply pat her head, and go back to her room to wash and rest.

This was very perfunctory, but for her at that time, it was already the limit of her efforts.

"Nothing." Morishima Yukisa shook her head and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, her tone showing a little more relief, "I can understand."

She had actually always seen clearly about this issue.

However, for various reasons, even if she understood it, she would still quarrel with her mother about it.

Just because I can understand you doesn't mean I can accept your behavior.

Probably so.

But later, with Che's mediation and constant guidance, her thoughts gradually began to change.

Although she still felt uncomfortable with certain issues, as if there was ice that could not be melted for the time being, at least it would not be the same as before. Whenever these past events were mentioned, she would become like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and she would stand up on the spot.

Morishima Yukie's expression was moved for a moment.

She tilted her eyebrows, glanced at her daughter secretly, and then quickly retracted her gaze.

She was surprised by this answer.

She had discussed this issue with her a month ago, and the answer she got at that time was - it doesn't matter, in a slightly cold tone.

She knew that her daughter was concerned about this issue, but she really didn't know how to explain it or make up for it.

At this moment, the moment she heard the answer, her heart began to beat uncontrollably.

The relationship between her and her daughter has not been as close as it is now for a long time.

Even though there is still a certain distance between them and those cracks have not been completely healed, compared to the incompatibility in the past, they are now much more harmonious.

In the eyes of others, they will no longer be equated with the impression of "mother and daughter with a bad relationship".

"Okay, it's Mom's fault. Let's not talk about this unhappy topic for now." Morishima Yukie coughed lightly and turned to another topic, which was also the real reason why she came here to wait for her daughter today, "Did Che agree to that thing?"

"accepted."

Morishima Yukisa nodded slightly, raised her eyebrows and looked not far away.

At this moment, the traffic light at the intersection not far away happened to be red.

If they maintain their current walking speed, they won't have to wait for the red light and can just walk past it when the light turns green.

"Did he show any surprise? Or...?"

The sound of hurried footsteps came from behind her, and Morishima Yukie suddenly grabbed Morishima Yukisa's wrist and stopped her abruptly.

The next second, a hurried office worker ran past Yukisa Morishima.

At the same time, a phrase that was not unfamiliar to her, "Private Marseille", came out from the other party's mouth.

Turning her head, Yukisa Morishima glanced at her mother.

Those beautiful eyes reflected a mature face that was 70% similar to hers.

The next second, she retracted her gaze, lowered her eyebrows, and honestly thanked her mother, "Thank you."

"this is nothing."

Yukie Morishima shook her head and loosened her grip on her daughter's wrist, and the two of them then walked slowly on the way home.

The daughter's reaction was also due to the recent easing and closer relationship between them.

In the past, such small talk would be impossible. As for thank you, there would be some, but it would never be just a cold "thank you" like what happened just now.

"Let's get back to what we were talking about just now." Morishima Yukie switched the plastic bag in her left hand to her right hand. "Did he say anything else when he agreed?"

As someone who has been through this, she knows all too well the twists and turns that go on between young people.

In terms of attitude towards relationships, my daughter can be said to be in the same vein as I was back then.

The biggest advantage is being honest most of the time, and the biggest disadvantage is not being honest enough a few times.

In fact, both mother and daughter are the same. They know what they want from the beginning and will not say anything spoiling the mood. However, those passionate emotions cannot be properly expressed to the person they like.

Therefore, someone is needed to keep an eye on things and even more so to offer advice.

It’s just that I was too young at the time and didn’t choose the right person.

"No."

Yukisa Morishima shook her head honestly.

"So you're telling the truth?"

Upon hearing this, Morishima Yukie looked embarrassed.

"Or..." She glanced at her daughter and gently scratched the side of her face with her free hand, "You changed your statement a little bit?"

"No."

Yukisa Morishima hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to repeat exactly what she had said to Che Kitagawa.

After listening to her daughter's story, Yukie Morishima fell completely silent.

She didn't know what to say to this silly girl.

There is no exaggeration, which is definitely a good habit in normal times.

Of course, the term "exaggerating" may not be appropriate. A more appropriate question would be whether there is another way of saying it.

The answer is no. A certain silly girl was as frank as an elementary school student. They did whatever the teacher said and repeated the content word for word. They even imitated the movements and expressions.

Of course, this is not without its benefits.

But, we can actually do better.

Strictly speaking, my silly girl has wasted an opportunity.

"Let me put it this way..." Seeing her mother's expression, Yukisa Morishima pursed her lips subconsciously and asked uncertainly, "Is there something wrong?"

When it comes to relationship issues, she is very clear that she needs to accept opinions with an open mind.

Even if the person giving the advice has a mother who does not have much experience in love, she can still be considered an experienced person compared to herself who has no experience in love.

Ugh.

After sighing in their hearts, both mother and daughter slowed down their pace and walked onto the second crosswalk to go home.

"It's not that there's nothing wrong with it, right? You can understand it as..." Morishima Yukie considered her words, instinctively held her daughter's hand, and pulled her through the crowd, "You only got a passing score this time, but in fact, you only need to make a slight adjustment to get an 80-point score."

"Then I need, no, how should I change it?"

Yukisa Morishima said this without thinking.

"You and Che are partners, right?"

Yukie Morishima thought about it and mentioned it casually.

"Yes."

Yukisa Morishima looked at her mother with some confusion.

She didn't quite understand why the other party suddenly brought this up.

"That's all." Morishima Yukie blinked, her eyes falling meaningfully on her daughter's beautiful face, "Partners should be closer than friends, and it's totally fine to occasionally show off your cute side as a woman.

"Besides, if I'm not mistaken, he quite likes girls with your personality."

This was not something she made up, but rather her and Beichuan Che's intuitive feeling after several contacts.

This kid is naturally immune to traits like tsundere and is not interested in them.

But for those types who are not good at speaking, there is a lot of patience.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the person who is not good at speaking is his friend.

Hearing this, Yukisa Morishima's face unconsciously turned red.

Under the caress of the sun, that indifferent face became inexplicably pretty and charming.

Subconsciously, she turned her head away, avoiding her mother's sight, and fell silent.

She actually felt what her mother said, but due to some unspeakable reasons, she did not delve into it, let alone put it into practice.

After crossing the crosswalk and waiting until there were no longer so many people around, Yukie Morishima let go of her daughter's hand.

"In short, you should seize small opportunities to deepen his impression of you." The musician, who is well-known in the industry, paused, with a look of emotion, "Sometimes, there may be only a small difference between partners."

Chapter 218 I, Actually, I Like Children Quite a Lot

For Beichuan Che, after traveling through time, he would occasionally think about the meaning of life.

But most of the time, the so-called meaning derived from these thoughts is meaningless.

Instead of thinking about how to take each next step, calculating each step clearly, three-year plan, five-year plan, thinking about where you will go in the future, what level you must achieve in which industry in the future, being overwhelmed by one countdown after another, and being unable to extricate yourself from the dates, it is better to just focus on the present.

To quote a sentence from the book he often read, the future is made up of countless present moments. Paying too much attention to the future will only make you worry about gains and losses and fail to grasp every present moment. Since you can't handle the present well, how can you talk about the future?

Ultimately, it would be nice to have a general direction for the future, like a lighthouse on the sea.

For example, for seagulls, the meaning of life is to go to the dock and get some French fries.

For Beichuan Che himself, the practical implementation of such emotion was to start a conversation with his fiancée who came out of the department store with him, breaking the silence between them.

Today is Friday. According to the rotation schedule of grocery shopping staff originally drawn up by the Kitagawa family, Ejima Tadashi and Kitazono Rin should have been responsible for today's purchasing tasks together. However, because Tadashi had something urgent to do, he was drafted by a teacher, and the responsibility of covering the shift naturally fell on Kitagawa Che's shoulders.

"Come to think of it, tomorrow is the day that Sister Rina is treating us to dinner."

Beichuan Che, who was carrying a lot of bags in his hands, considered his words and took the initiative to speak, breaking the silence between the two.

Of course, if you really want to say it, it doesn't matter whether he and Kitaen Rinyin chat or not.

The relationship between the two people is no longer what it used to be. Even if they keep quiet, there will no longer be that awkward feeling of sitting on pins and needles.
