Tokyo Love Story

"Ten twenty-four p.m."

Yukisa Morishima gave the answer.

"Yes."

Morishima Yukie raised her eyebrows and winked at her assistant standing beside her. The latter nodded slightly in understanding, left the piano room, and left the space here to her.

When the footsteps faded away and the door closed, Yukie Morishima finally relaxed and chatted with her daughter as if she was chatting about family matters. "And it seems to be raining over there?"

This morning when she got up and checked the weather forecast as usual, she saw the weather forecast information for the Tokyo area that she subscribed to.

The weather forecast says that heavy rain in the Tokyo area is expected to continue for two days, and some areas will be accompanied by strong winds.

When she saw the weather forecast, she wanted to call Xuesha, but when she looked at the time, she gave up.

At that time, Xuesha was practicing the piano, and her cell phone was in silent mode, so there was a high probability that the call would not go through.

"Yeah, it's raining heavily." Yukisa Morishima heard the concern in her mother's words, and her voice softened unconsciously. "The weather forecast says it will rain for two days."

"Then remember to bring an umbrella when you go out these two days, but..." Morishima Yukie hesitated a little, but in the end, she still said that sentence, "If you can stay at home, don't go out. You should stay at home on rainy days."

"I had no intention of going out."

Yukisa Morishima raised her head and looked at the TV screen.

At this moment, the evening weather forecast has ended and the next program has begun to play during the advertising period.

"Do you have enough food at home?"

Yukie Morishima stood up from the piano bench and walked to the mahogany chair which felt harder to sit on.

"That's enough. I just went to the supermarket before going home today."

Speaking of this, Yukisa Morishima couldn't help but chuckle.

People do change.

In the past, she really didn't stick her fingers to Yang Chunshui. Her cooking skills began with convenience store bento and ended with instant cup noodles.

Now, although she still can't cook some difficult dishes, she can cook common home-cooked meals quite well.

That's right, the knife skills need to be improved somewhat.

"That's good."

Hearing this, Morishima Yukie breathed a sigh of relief, and her worries were put at ease.

Xuesha's self-care ability has improved a lot compared to before. Not only has she learned to cook, but her level is also quite decent. The difference is far from before.

But then again, she still had to thank Ache for this.

The conversation on the phone came to a temporary halt, and both mother and daughter fell silent.

After three and a third minutes of silence, Yukisa Morishima coughed softly and took the initiative to start the conversation, "Mom, have you listened to Che's new song?"

This was the real reason why she called.

Promotion on the music network alone is not enough, she wants her mother to help as well.

"Haven't you heard it a long time ago?"

Yukie Morishima was stunned at first, then she understood what her daughter meant. However, she did not intend to expose her. She wanted to see how her baby would say those words.

"Do you think that song is good?"

Yukisa Morishima unconsciously changed to a respectful title and asked.

"It sounds good."

Yukie Morishima's answer was concise and to the point.

"What should I say about Che's new song..." She considered her words and gave a review with what she thought was relatively fair words, "Including the previous songs, this is one of the few songs I have collected this year. And I counted, almost all of his songs are in my collection."

She is very picky when it comes to songs.

However, compared to this song, she personally prefers the song "Light up the Fireworks" in which Xuesha participated more.

"So do you think this song has the potential to top the charts?"

Yukisa Morishima gradually led to the topic.

"I personally think there is, but we still have to wait... Wait a minute, I'll open the music website APP to take a look." Morishima Yukie said this, and then she adjusted her phone to speakerphone mode, then clicked on the music website APP and pulled to the list column. Then, she unconsciously opened her mouth, "No, how come he is in the top five of the hot song list???"

She originally thought that her daughter asked that question because Beichuan Che's new song had encountered some bottlenecks and needed additional publicity in addition to the promotion on the music network.

In short, her expectation was that Kitagawa Che's new song would just make it into the top twenty.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, the speed at which this song has risen seems to have exceeded the expectations of this old lady.

"What's so strange about that?"

There was a hint of familiarity in Morishima Yukisa's voice.

"No, Xuesha, don't you think his speed is too exaggerated?" Morishima Yukie explained subconsciously, "The Hot Songs Chart needs long-term and widespread popularity. The top singers are usually veteran singers with strength in the industry. For example, the lady who is ranked first on the Hot Songs Chart right now is a veteran singer in the industry and a well-known pearl in the industry."

"You mean Che's accumulation may not be enough?"

Yukisa Morishima adjusted her mood a little, and following her mother's wishes, asked this question in a way that did not contain strong subjective emotions as much as possible.

"That's not what I meant." Morishima Yukie smiled bitterly. Her precious daughter had obviously fallen for him. When it came to Kitagawa Tetsu, the girl became even more fanatical. "Genius can't be speculated with ordinary people's logic, but... do you understand what I mean?"

The speed at which Kitagawa Che's song rose to popularity is really too exaggerated.

She didn't think it was a big deal that his new songs had topped the new song chart and the new singer chart.

After all, the quality of the songs and Kitagawa Che's ever-improving singing skills should have allowed his songs to top the list, but the hot song chart is different. Every song on it has appeared in the public eye for a long time and is loved by the audience.

In short, the song itself needs to be popular enough and have a sufficient fan base. To sum it up in two words, it’s accumulation.

You have to have your own basic foundation before you can consider more things.

The way most people build their own base is to progress slowly while persevering.

After all, the longer you stay in a circle, the more people you know, and sometimes you will naturally get more help and resources.

Under such circumstances, for a new singer who has just entered the industry for less than a year, no matter how high the quality of his songs is, it is still a bit of a pipe dream to top the hot song chart.

"I don't know."

The flickering TV screen was reflected in Yukisa Morishima's eyes.

"I guessed you would say that." Morishima Yukie sighed, then changed the subject, "But you are my daughter after all." She shook her head, "Tell me, what does Yukie want her mother to do?"

"I hope you can give Che a little help with his new song, just like old Mr. Kawai Changwu did."

Yukisa Morishima stopped beating around the bush and said this straight away.

"he?"

Morishima Yuki stayed for half a second, and after thinking about it, she suddenly felt relieved.

If he added fuel to the fire, then it is reasonable for Kitagawa Che's new song to be in the top three.

"Yes." Morishima Yukisa paused, "He wrote a recommendation in his own name and posted it on social media."

"I understand what you mean."

Now that things have come to this, how could she not understand her daughter's subtext?

Morishima Yukie rubbed her nose, tilted her head back slightly, and a look of relief appeared on her face.

Since there are always talented people in every generation, I might as well add fuel to the fire.

As for how far Ache can go, that is not something she or her beloved daughter can decide.

Ultimately, it depends on him.

The next day, nine o'clock in the morning.

After getting up early and having breakfast at Kitagawa's house, Tsuchiya Seina, wearing a turtleneck sweater, black slim jeans, and a pair of light brown wool socks, lay down on the long sofa in Kitagawa's house without caring about her image and took a nap.

In response, Kitayuan Rinyin didn't say anything. Instead, she took out a blanket from the low sofa next to her and covered her neighbor with it.

She was used to someone behaving like this.

The original Tsugumi Seina would still be a little proud of herself, thinking that she was at least still a teacher. Although most of her image had been lost, there was still a part that she needed to uphold.

At the moment, she has completely thrown away her remaining reserve and is focusing on letting herself go.

However, this is also good.

At least Kitayuan Rinyin felt that this sister next door was becoming more and more approachable.

"Speaking of which, the food at home is almost gone."

After turning on the TV, Kitaen Rin, who was sitting on the short sofa, tuned the TV program to the channel that broadcasts TV dramas in the morning, then turned her eyebrows to look at the floor-to-ceiling window with the curtains drawn.

Outside the house, the rain that had lasted all night was still falling, and the sound of pattering rain could be heard incessantly.

The densely falling raindrops stuck to the outer edge of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Under the influence of gravity and cold wind, they slowly fell down, leaving water marks on the glass.

"Well, I'll go buy it later."

Beichuan Che, who was sitting on the single sofa, raised his hand without thinking, indicating that he would take care of it.

"But generally speaking, it's easier to get groceries with two people."

Beiyuan Rinyin blinked, and the handsome face of her fiancé was reflected in her beautiful eyes.

"I remember you and Miu got a little trailer like that?"

Beichuan Che scratched the side of his face, and a flash of surprise flashed across his eyes.

He really never thought that he could see this thing in Japan.

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt relieved.

This small plastic shopping cart is not a high-tech gadget. Everyone needs to eat and every family needs to buy groceries. There is a huge demand for this kind of convenient product. It is normal for someone to make it.

"Yes." Beiyuan Linyin nodded, and then the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "The trailer was sent by the supermarket we often go to."

"Ahem!" Beichuan Che coughed lightly and brought the topic back to the topic. "Anyway, if you have that trailer, it's not difficult for one person to buy food for the whole family."

God knows whether it was Miao who influenced Rinyin or Rinyin who influenced Miao, but this girl is now becoming more and more interested in topics such as oil, rice, firewood, salt, ginger, vinegar and tea.

"I personally suggest that you find another person to go with you."

Kitaen Rinyin blinked and was not convinced by Kitagawa Che.

"What does the respected Miss Rinone mean?"

Beichuan Che shook his head and asked the question half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Myo needs to cook, so I need to help. As for Shiori, she's gone home again today and won't be back until tomorrow at noon."

Beiyuan Rinyin glanced at Beichuan Che and gave him a look that said, "Do you understand?"

"That……"

Kitagawa Che withdrew his gaze from his fiancée and looked instead at Tsugumi Seina who was dozing happily on the sofa.

"Yes, it's Sister Rina."

Kitaen Rinyin said the second half of the sentence that Kitachuan Che was embarrassed to say.

"Ah?" Lying on the sofa, Tsugumi Seina heard someone calling her name, opened her dazed eyes, and looked at Kitaen Rin with a puzzled look, "What's wrong?"

"I might have to trouble Sister Rina to buy some groceries later."

Beiyuan Rinyin raised the corners of her mouth slightly and revealed a smile.

"No problem." Tsugumi Seirina nodded readily, but there was still some sleepiness in her voice. "But, can you let me take a nap for another hour?"

Because of the finale of the TV series last night, she didn’t get enough rest and stayed up all night for the first time in a long time.

"of course."

Kitaen Rinyin nodded, stood up, gave Kitagawa Che a look that said 'I'll see you later', then turned, went up the stairs, and walked into Ejima Tadashi's room.
