Tokyo Love Story

The waitress reminded everyone, and after everyone had tied their aprons obediently, she picked up the steaks covered with stainless steel semicircular covers and placed them in front of everyone in different categories.

"Please be careful with it."

As soon as the words fell, accompanied by a loud "sizzling" sound, the lid was opened, and the delicious steak appeared in front of everyone.

However, the waitress did not stop. She quickly and efficiently brought all the dishes in the dining car to the table.

The dining table, which was spacious and even a little too big just now, suddenly became compact.

"Sister Tsugumi, your food is here. If you need anything, just press the button on the table."

After leaving these words, the waitress bowed, turned around without any hesitation, and left the place pushing the dining cart.

When the sizzling sound completely disappeared, everyone untied their aprons, and then, at Tsuchiya Seina's signal, threw them into the trash can at their feet.

"Then let's get started!"

Tsugumi Seirina picked up the knife and fork and raised it.

"I'm gonna start now!"

A uniform voice sounded, and everyone picked up their knives and forks and started to cut the steak in front of them.

While Ejima Ta, Kashiwagen Shiori, and Tsugumi Seina had already cut their steaks, Kitaen Rin, who was sitting next to Kitagawa Tetsu, quietly tugged on the former's sleeve and gave him a look for help.

She is actually quite good with a knife and fork.

But there is a very good saying: girls who know how to act coquettishly are more lovable.

"Isn't it hard to cut?"

Feeling the tug on his sleeve, Beichuan Che turned his head and his gaze fell on the profile of his fiancée, giving her a questioning look.

'Um. ’

Beiyuan Rinyin nodded timidly and lowered her eyebrows apologetically.

Beichuan Che didn't waste any words. He rolled up his sleeves, picked up the knife and fork, and carefully started to eat for his fiancée.

The sound of using knives and forks on the table suddenly became one third quieter.

Ejima Mio slowed down her movements and looked at Kitaen Rin with some envy, but she quickly looked away.

She is a contented person.

What's more, even if I didn't think of it this time, I will think of it next time.

On the other side, Kashiwahara Shiori calmly withdrew her gaze, and for no reason, she used more force with the knife and fork in her hands, making a series of crunching sounds, as if she was venting something.

And Tsugumi Seina, who was sitting opposite Kitaen Rin, had her eyes lit up and she silently memorized this technique.

The experience gained this time will definitely be useful for next time!

She has learned it!

Two-in-one pinch.

Thank you for the reward from Teacher Xun Ye, and thank you for the monthly tickets from teachers Nian Feiyin, Niubikelascao Quantang Xinian, Chise Arbitration, and Zhuli. Your support is my motivation for writing.

See you all tomorrow~

Chapter 220 Pansy Confession Incident

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Tsugumi Seina, who was almost done eating, put down her knife and fork, picked up the hot towel that the waitress had brought to the table, and wiped her mouth.

Under normal circumstances, she would not be the first person to leave the table at the Yu Kitagawa family's dinner table, especially after she got used to the food cooked by Ejima Tadashi and Kitaen Rin.

To put it in her serious words, she would not put down her chopsticks until she had finished the last plate of food on the table.

As for her female colleagues at school who are calling for losing weight, reducing carbohydrate intake, controlling calories, reducing weight, maintaining their figure, and so on, she claims that she has no worries in this regard.

According to her experience, even if you want to lose weight, you should still consume enough nutrition.

Just reducing your intake and increasing your exercise will indeed help you lose weight quickly, especially if you are already overweight, then the weight loss will be even faster.

But at the same time, the body's health indicators will take a thrilling roller coaster ride, just like the rapid loss of weight, not to mention a series of negative effects.

Following the methods of those colleagues, I reduced my energy intake and increased my exercise. The most direct negative effect of such an extreme approach is hypoglycemia, as well as irritability and fatigue caused by insufficient energy intake.

At the beginning, she was going to give them some advice, but after seeing that they were all in high spirits and looked like they would not give up until they achieved their goals, she tactfully shut her mouth and did not point any finger (she could not read the atmosphere).

To use the words that Kitagawa Che had said before in Chinese and later translated for her - it is very difficult to teach people, but people can always learn something once things teach them.

As for the consequences of the "incident", it is only natural that the parties involved should bear them.

"Speaking of which, Rina-san, why did you recommend those three steaks today?"

On the other side of the table, Beichuan Che, who had almost finished his meal, put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth with a towel, and asked this question out of curiosity.

The last time I came here, Tsugumi Seina also recommended the steak here, but compared to this time, the expression in her eyes and the tone of her voice were completely different.

If the previous one gave people the feeling of "I'm just recommending", then today's attitude is a bit tougher, "Trust me, you can't go wrong!"

Tsugumi Seirina didn't answer right away. She stretched her neck and looked around, then pricked up her ears and listened carefully. After making sure that the guests who were separated from her were not paying attention to this place, she explained in a low voice, "Because I only have these three kinds of Kobe beef here."

Hearing this, Beichuan Che was speechless for a moment.

He didn't know what to say in response.

At this moment, he clearly realized how much his neighbor was willing to invest in "eating".

But if you think about it carefully, considering Tsugumi Serina's personality, it does make sense.

I don’t smoke, I don’t drink, and I don’t have much demand for cosmetics. You have to give people some hobbies, right?

Tsugumi Seina looked at Kitagawa Che, and there was a thoughtful look between her brows.

Then, her eyes lit up, as if she understood something, and she explained, "But don't worry, next time you come, you'll have everything."

Can I say you misunderstood?

Kitagawa Che looked at Tsugumi Serina, then looked at Kitaen Rinne who was standing beside him with her brows drooped, covering her mouth, and almost unable to hold back her laughter. After hesitating for a long time, he swallowed the words back into his throat.

Forget it, it’s a misunderstanding, just let it be a misunderstanding.

"But then again, after Rina-san sorted out the issues over there, didn't she apply for a break from school?"

Ejima Miya, who was sitting next to Kitazono Rin, put down her knife and fork and looked towards Tsugumi Seina with some curiosity.

Although the matter was resolved on Friday, and Saturdays and weekends were days off for adjustment, based on her understanding of Tsuchiya Serina, this neighbor sister would definitely be happy to slack off on weekdays, even for just one day.

"Uh..." Tsugumi Seina tilted her eyebrows, her expression became unnatural, and her voice was as small as an ant, "I asked for leave, but the principal didn't agree."

After the words were spoken, the table fell into silence.

Oh my goodness, so you’ve already applied, but weren’t accepted, right?

"What's the principal's reason?"

Ejima Myo tilted her head and her eyes fell on Tsugumi Seirina's face.

"The written answer is that the reasons I gave were not sufficient." Tsugumi Marina pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally said that sentence frankly, "The private answer is that now that I have solved the problems at home, I will deal with the things at hand properly. As a teacher, it is not reasonable for me to slack off."

All right. "

Ejima Tadashi was silent for a moment, then responded in a subtle tone.

From this perspective, the principal really knows Sister Rina well.

"But then again." Tsugumi Seina coughed lightly, turned her head and looked at the stage on the first floor, "Today we have a special 'program'."

The view from the booth they were in was not particularly good compared to the previous position, but it still allowed them to have a clear view of the entire first floor.

Following Tsuchiya Seina's line of sight, Kitagawa Che's attention was drawn to the bouquet of flowers in the middle of the stage on the first floor.

The piano seemed to have been moved away and replaced with a bouquet of roses.

This also means that...

Beichuan Che narrowed his eyes slightly, and an intriguing expression appeared on his face.

"This is?"

Kashiwagen Shiori put down the fork in her hand and looked at Tsugumi Seina, hoping that the other party would give an answer instead of keeping her in suspense like this.

"Just wait."

Tsugumi Seina blinked and signaled Kashiwagen Shiori to just look towards the stage on the first floor.

Tatsuya Tsugumi had contacted her specifically today. An old customer of Pansy planned to make a major decision in his life today.

He has been preparing for this day for three whole months.

As soon as the words fell, the lights in the room suddenly dimmed.

As the lights in the store dimmed, many customers let out low cries, causing a small commotion.

However, the commotion did not last long. After all, the guests who came to Pansy for dinner had more or less become accustomed to the sudden changes in lighting in this restaurant.

Many regular customers have even adjusted themselves and are looking towards the center of the stage with interest, secretly looking forward to the next show.

No one has seen that young female pianist for a long, long time.

It’s just a pity that the spotlight didn’t fall on the center of the stage as most regular customers expected.

With a "click" sound, a white spotlight shone from top to bottom onto a girl sitting near the window.

The girl looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five.

The moment she was illuminated by the spotlight, she looked around helplessly, as if she had no idea what was going on.

This Wednesday, she and her boyfriend of six years made an appointment to meet at this restaurant.

According to the agreement, after dinner, they will go for a walk in the nearby park together, and then go to the busy commercial street.

But it was already past the time they had agreed on, and her boyfriend, who was always punctual, did not show up as he usually did. When she called, no one answered.

After much hesitation, she chose to wait.

My boyfriend is always very busy at work, and because of the special nature of his job, he is occasionally forced to work overtime on his days off.

She had already made up her mind that when someone came, she would definitely teach him a lesson. Without two crepes, she would not be able to coax him!

But she didn't get any explanation, instead she got this inexplicable spotlight.

There was a hint of nervousness on the girl's face.

"There is no power outage in the store, please don't panic."

As Tsugumi Makoto's voice rang out, the long-suppressed whispers in the store suddenly became louder.

It was not a so-called power outage and there were no suitable programs to watch, so the diners who were already eager to watch the show couldn't help but whisper to each other.

But soon, the discussion died down.

——After coughing lightly, Tatsuya Tsugumi explained the reason why the lights were dim.

“Today is an extremely special day.

“It’s the sixth anniversary of a couple’s official relationship.

"This couple is also a regular customer of Pansy. From what I remember, they have been coming to dine here once a month since they were in college.

"As they graduated from college and their jobs became more stable, the idea of ​​having a family naturally came to them.

"On our anniversary, my boyfriend found me.

“He was a very reliable and handsome boy.

"My boyfriend asked me very sincerely, hoping that I could cooperate with him and let his girlfriend have a special memory of their anniversary.

"Isn't this the most beautiful side of love? In someone's eyes, you are so special, as if you are glowing. So, he is willing to rack his brains to give you surprises and make you happy.

“So, I promised my boyfriend.

"I apologize if this has caused any inconvenience to our customers.

"At the same time, as compensation, guests who normally dine during this time period will enjoy a 20% discount on their meals today. We will also send you small gifts to compensate you. Thank you for your understanding."

The discussions died down, and most of the diners' faces were filled with anticipation.

Although in this fast-paced and bustling city, most people have to work hard just to make a living and don't have much energy to fall in love, but this does not prevent everyone from wanting to see the good side of a relationship.

Whether for the girl with blushing cheeks under the spotlight or for witnesses like them, days like this that are given a special meaning are precious and worth remembering.

After coughing twice, Tsugumi Makoto Tatsuya, the temporary 'host', continued to speak.
