Tokyo Love Story

As for forcing it, if you are stubborn and insist on confessing, you will only bring humiliation upon yourself.

Life is never like a movie or TV show, it doesn’t have so many romantic scenes.

If you encounter any emergency, it is good enough to be able to stay calm, not to mention like what is portrayed in heroic movies, turning the tide and saving the collapsing building. The princess is unlikely to fall in love with an ordinary poor boy, but will only wait in the castle for the arrival of her prince.

Of course, that's what it says.

For most students, they were still looking forward to Kashiwagen Shiori rejecting Furuhashi Yosuke.

The main theme is "I don't have a girlfriend (boyfriend), and you are not allowed to have one either."

Thus, amidst such lively discussions, time moved forward leisurely, and in the blink of an eye, it was the last afternoon before the sports meeting.

Sitting under the shade of a tree in the playground, Yukisa Morishima hugged her legs, looking at the boys and girls sweating on the track, feeling a little lost for a moment.

She hadn't experienced such a 'passionate' sport for a long, long time.

When she was a child, she wanted to do so, but her mother forced her to sit on the piano chair, so she had to give up. Later, when she was in junior high school, she had lost interest in sports and spent almost all her time on music, which she liked but not so much.

As for the present situation, things have changed again.

She no longer had no interest in sports, but simply stayed away from them.

As a person who has always had a clear self-awareness, Yukisa Morishima is very clear about the level of her physical fitness. She was weak before, and now it may be better, but it is estimated that it will not be much better.

As for comparing with them...

Yukisa Morishima raised her eyebrows and her eyes fell on the front row of the team on the track.

Kitaen Rin and Ejima Tadashi ran ahead of everyone else with a relaxed look on their faces. The two students with average physiques at the end of the team were left behind by them by a full lap.

There is definitely no comparison.

Shaking her head, Morishima Yukisa sighed silently in her heart, then turned her head and looked at Kitagawa Che beside her, and asked in a low voice, "Che, do Rin and Miao usually stick to exercise?"

"Yes." Kitagawa Che nodded and gave an affirmative answer, "Rin and Miao run every day."

Originally, Kitayuan Rinyin didn't run, but later, for some reason, the eldest daughter of the Kitayuan family also started running with them.

"But..." Beichuan Che turned around and asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

"A little curious, right?" Morishima Yukisa paused, and there was an inexplicable complexity in her bright eyes. "After all, Rin gives people the impression of a well-educated young lady. Her every move is quite elegant."

This was not something she deliberately flattered, but this was the impression Kitaen Rinyin gave her.

Whether in daily life or in private, this classmate always keeps her back straight, and her naturally presented expression and posture are different at a glance. In short, this kind of girl is not something that an ordinary family can raise.

With such preconceived ideas, of course, she herself is aware that she has some stereotypes, but in her opinion, Rin and sports like running cannot be equated.

If Rinone knows flower arrangement, tea art, or some skills related to Yamato Nadeshiko, she would have no doubt at all. On the contrary, she would think it was normal.

"No matter how elegant a young lady is, she still needs to eat, Xuesha." Beichuan Che teased the girl, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You can't say that you have devoted all your energy to music, so you don't need to eat every day, right?"

Hearing this, Morishima Yukisa fell silent.

That seems to be the case.

"And the way Rin's family educates is actually different from the way you remember Xuesa..." Beichuan Che considered his words and said in a subtle tone, "In short, there are quite a lot of differences."

The Beiyuan family’s educational method can only be described as quite positive.

In any case, he had never felt the temper of a spoiled young lady or the domineering attitude from Kitayuan Rinyin.

But to be honest, he should thank Aunt Beiyuan for her education of Linyin.

At least for now, a big part of the reason why he and Rin get along so well is based on this.

When living under the same roof, there is always more to consider than just eating together.

We need to tolerate and understand each other's small shortcomings, and we need to be able to communicate. We should not act angry when encountering any problems and wait for the other party to coax us. If they don't coax us, we will always have a sour face. This will not solve any problems, but will only make them worse.

After all, as the saying goes, life is always full of problems.

"understood."

Yukisa Morishima nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any further questions.

On this point, she has always been clear and never asks questions that should not be asked.

"But, then again." Morishima Yukisa lowered her eyebrows and asked lightly, "Do you think girls who are athletic are cuter?"

She originally wanted to ask if he would dislike weak girls, but when the words came to her lips, she changed her mind.

If this question was really asked directly like this, then there would be no need to think about it, and the current atmosphere would definitely become wrong.

"That's fine."

Beichuan Che has never cared much about this.

"Oh, is that so?"

Yukisa Morishima's tone couldn't help but become a little higher.

But the next second, she suddenly realized her mistake, coughed, and explained, "I'm just a little surprised."

"Ah."

Beichuan Che didn't think there was anything wrong and replied naturally.

Upon hearing this, Morishima Yukisa's face instantly turned red. She didn't even dare to look at someone and immediately buried her head between her thighs.

Thanks to teacher Da'er Tutu h for the reward, and thanks to teachers Angel Devil Drinking Pure Water Oyster Oyster, Bujue Yi Last Year, and Meng Bujue for their monthly tickets. Your support is the motivation for my writing.

See you tomorrow~

Chapter 243 I'll Leave It to You

It was raining coldly in Tokyo in the evening.

This sudden heavy rainfall successfully bypassed meteorological monitoring, making the low-probability event of inaccurate weather forecast a reality once again.

Sitting on the bay window on the fourth floor of an apartment facing the street, Takeda Risa, who had just taken a shower and changed into light grey pajamas, was wiping her wet hair with a towel while lowering her brows and looking at the dimly lit street scene outside the window.

In the rain, a striking red light lit up at the intersection in the distance. Cars wet by the rain stopped steadily in front of the intersection, and office workers holding umbrellas walked hurriedly on the sidewalk.

The raindrops hit the umbrella and then rolled to the ground, making a series of dripping sounds.

"Shiori, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

Taking her eyes away from the window, Takeda Risa picked up the phone, changed the call mode from receiver to speakerphone, and interrupted Kashiwagen Shiori who was chatting on the other end of the line.

The call came in ten minutes ago.

It was just when she came out of the bathroom after taking a shower.

In a sense, the timing of Kashiwagen Shiori's call was indeed 'just right'.

Is that the content of the phone call?

Takeda Risa frowned, and the call interface on the mobile phone screen was reflected in her bright eyes.

On the other end of the phone, Shiori Kashiwamoto changed her usual straightforward approach and rarely beat around the bush with her.

From whether she had dinner or not, whether she was caught in the rain, to her work plans for the week, and then to the sentence five seconds ago that finally contained some information, "Are you free the day after tomorrow?", the topic finally seemed to be getting to the point.

Of course, she was not opposed to chatting with Kashiwagen Shiori.

Without considering forcing a conversation or beating around the bush, she actually enjoyed chatting with this girl. In her eyes, this girl was quite interesting.

But as for Kashiwagen Shiori's current way of chatting, she could only say that it was too stereotyped.

To give an example, it was like when she just graduated from college and started working.

There was an obvious sense of "discomfort" in his words and actions, and it was obvious that the conversation was "with a purpose".

But from her point of view, she didn't know what to say and could only listen patiently.

"I……"

Kashiwagen Shiori on the other end of the phone began to stumble.

After a quarter of a minute of silence, she asked uncertainly, "Is it okay?"

Takeda Risa's expression suddenly became subtle, "Is it okay to ask? Of course you can, just be more natural, Shiori!

“Or, let me be more direct.

"Have you encountered some problems that you can't solve yourself, but you don't want to let your parents know?"

Based on her understanding of Kashiwagen Shiori, there could be only one reason that could make this girl hesitant and even force herself to chat with her about family matters and go through so much trouble.

——This girl encountered a problem that she couldn't solve independently.

And there is a high probability that this question involves the girl’s thoughts.

Otherwise, with someone's straightforward personality, he wouldn't behave so weirdly and stiffly.

"I, would like to invite Sister Risa to come to Shirakawa High School the day after tomorrow."

On the other end of the phone, Kashiwagen Shiori pursed her red lips and timidly said these words.

There are three solutions she can think of for the situation that Furuhashi Yosuke caused.

But after careful consideration, she rejected both of them.

Neither of those two options is really suitable.

Therefore, the only solution left at the moment is to ask for "external aid", that is, to ask Takeda Risa for help.

"Come to Shirakawa High School?"

Takeda Risa was stunned for a moment and subconsciously glanced at the caller on the phone.

If she was not sure that the person on the other end of the phone was indeed Kashiwagen Shiori herself, she would have probably already started to verify the identity of the person on the other end, and even asked Kashiwagen Shiori whether she was being "threatened" and whether she could just blink from a distance.

Take the daily situation for example, let alone her desire to visit Shirakawa High School, even when she met Shiori Kashiwamoto in a coffee shop outside the school, the latter was a little nervous.

Whenever they met, the girl would look around, as nervous as if she was a thief.

To quote a certain Miss Shiori, she didn't want to bring what happened in the library to school, and she didn't want her classmates to know about it, so she behaved like that.

As the editor-in-chief of Kashiwamoto Shiori, she expressed her understanding of this.

It's normal not to want to be too conspicuous.

But for now, the development of things seems to have exceeded her expectations.

"Um..." Takeda Risa was silent for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Can you tell me the specific reason?"

If Kashiwagen Shiori didn't want to talk, she wouldn't force her.

After all, everyone has their own privacy.

However, if Kashiwagen Shiori was willing to talk, she would be very happy to hear the reason.

On the one hand, it was out of curiosity, and on the other hand, she wanted to confirm her guess and see if this girl really had some emotional problems.

"Someone annoying me wants to confess his love to me."

This time, Kashiwagen Shiori did not hesitate any more. After carefully considering the words, she directly stated the reason.

For things like this, when it wasn't a large-scale event, she would ask Tsuchiya Serina to do it, but this time, it was somewhat inappropriate.

"So, you want me to come here and be your shield?" Takeda Risa paused and added, "As your sister? Or maybe cousin?"

"That's about it."

Kashiwagen Shiori thought about it and gave a positive yet ambiguous answer.

"What about Kitagawa?"

Takeda Risa leaned back, stretched her legs slightly, and leaned against the wall of the bay window.

"He...can't show up for some reasons."

There was a hint of complexity in Kashiwagen Shiori's voice.

If only Kitaen Rin hadn't transferred to another school, she would have been able to ask Kitagawa Che for help naturally.

It also happens to be an opportunity to bring her and him closer.

"Is that so?"

Takeda Risa turned her eyebrows away and looked thoughtfully at the edge of the glass window stained by rain.

The dense raindrops blurred the vision, but still allowed people to barely see the situation outside.
