Tokyo Love Story

Beichuan Che did not beat around the bush and chose to get straight to the point.

"Oh, why are you calling at this hour?"

The living room of a high-end apartment in the central district.

There was a hint of surprise on Bai Yuanchuan's face when he answered the phone. He lowered his eyebrows slightly, turned his head, and his eyes fell on the pretty figure sitting on the sofa beside him.

She was a pretty high school girl about eighteen years old wearing casual home clothes.

Under the warm light, there is a rather elegant face.

But her figure was not elegant at all. Under the black turtleneck sweater, her chest was supported by a round and straight arc, which even blocked the light that should have slid down her slender waist to her thighs, leaving an unnecessary shadow on her thighs.

It is generally true that small branches bear great fruit.

As if she had noticed Bai Yuanchuan's gaze, the girl turned her head, frowned slightly, and her gaze fell on her father's face, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"It's from Beichuan, the one you've been thinking about."

As if showing off to his daughter, Bai Yuanchuan raised his eyebrows and silently lip-synced.

No one could have imagined that the president of Kashiwagen Co., Ltd., who was a big shot in the business circle, would behave like this at home in front of his daughter.

But for Kashiwagen Shiori, she has gotten used to it. Her father is like this at home, whether he is getting along with her mother, herself, or when the family gets together, he is always like this.

But she also knew that this was a good thing. It was because of her father's character that the atmosphere at home had always been good. There was no feeling of being distant from each other or paying special attention to each other's status. The relationship between her parents had always been very close. After so many years, they were still as sweet as when they first fell in love. These points were rare in the families she knew.

But one thing is for sure, Kashiwagen Shiori frowned even more tightly, and a hint of undisguised disgust flashed across her eyes.

They had just discussed this matter, and the final result was that she did not believe what her father said - mainly because he exaggerated himself too much.

What does it mean that he used his personal charm to get Beichuan to sign the only autographed copy of "Hear the Wind Sing" for him?

This is too irrelevant.

And based on her understanding of her own father, Chunchun was just bragging.

However, before she could say anything, Bai Yuanchuan had already withdrawn his gaze and started listening to the phone carefully.

Seeing him like this, she could only swallow those words of "counterattack" temporarily.

"I have something I would like to ask President Baiyuan for your help." Beichuan Che hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is it convenient for you now?"

"I'm at home, go ahead and tell me."

After hearing Beichuan Che's speech, Bai Yuanchuan's expression gradually became serious.

He could tell that the other party seemed to have something very important to ask him.

"Excuse me, President Bai Yuan, do you know anyone at St. Luke's International Hospital?"

Beichuan Che asked this question.

"St. Luke's International Affiliated Hospital." Bai Yuanchuan repeated in a low voice, and then smiled with relief. A second ago, he was still worried that he would not be able to sell this favor to Beichuan Che. "I know the vice president of that hospital."

St. Luke's International Hospital was not unfamiliar to Bai Yuanchuan. He would go there for regular physical examinations every once in a while and was familiar with the place. What's more, the vice president there was a classmate of his in college, so he was even more familiar with the place.

"Are you talking about Dean Matsushima Arashi?"

"Yes, that's her."

"President Bai Yuan, can you help me contact her?"

"Sure." Bai Yuanchuan's tone was a little more concerned, and he asked, "Beichuan, do you have any relatives who need surgery?"

"It's my grandma. She has early-stage lung cancer and is currently in the ICU. The doctor said it would be best if she had surgery as soon as possible."

Beichuan Che told the situation truthfully.

"I understand." Bai Yuanchuan stood up and walked towards the study. "I'll help you contact them right away."

"Then I'll leave it to you, President Baiyuan."

"It's okay. Everyone has had patients. I'll give you an answer within half an hour."

"Ah."

The phone hangs up.

Before Bai Yuanchuan walked into the study, Bai Yuan Shizhi called him, "Dad, what happened in Beichuan?"

She saw clearly the changes in her father's facial expression.

He was just saying that the call was from the author Beichuan, but the next second the expression on his face became serious, probably because something happened over there.

"Beichuan's grandmother is hospitalized for early-stage lung cancer and needs surgery. I want to contact the best doctor to perform the surgery."

Bai Yuanchuan didn't waste any time. After briefly concluding his long speech, he opened the door of the study and walked in.

As the study door was sealed, Bai Yuanchuan called Matsushima Arashi.

He never wastes time on these matters, nor does he like to waste time on them.

See you all tomorrow~

Chapter 29 Reliance

Facts have proved that no matter where you are, it is indeed easier to get things done if you have acquaintances.

Bai Yuanchuan said that he would give an accurate reply within half an hour, but in fact, it took less than five minutes for him to call back and said that the matter had been settled and the operation was scheduled for two days later, which was next Monday at 10 o'clock in the morning.

After telling Ejima Miu the news, the girl finally felt relieved.

"Oh, by the way, Dr. Fujimoto told me that it was her neighbor who brought grandma here. Did you go and thank him?"

In the stairwell outside the intensive care unit, Kitagawa Che, who was walking down the stairs, suddenly remembered this. He stopped, turned his eyebrows and looked at Ejima Miao, whose face had regained its color.

The two of them were asked to leave by the nurse on duty in the intensive care unit. According to the latter, the intensive care unit has a shift rotation every two hours and there are people watching it 24 hours a day. What's more, most of the patients transferred to this ward have stabilized, so their family members do not need to accompany them and can just go home. If there is any situation, the hospital will notify them immediately.

"Thank you."

Ejima Mio nodded slightly. During the time she was waiting outside the emergency room, she did not forget about this matter. No matter how panicked or anxious she was, she still conveyed the words she needed to say and expressed her gratitude.

Even at that time, the old man at the foot of the mountain looked uneasy, and it was estimated that he felt the same as her.

"What about the rescue fee that the man paid in advance? Did you give it to him?"

"Give it to him."

Ejima Mia answered in the affirmative. She has never been the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others, let alone in this kind of matter.

"That's good."

Beichuan Che nodded, withdrew his gaze, and started walking again.

With the help of the light in the stairs, Ejima Myo took a look at Kitagawa Che's profile. Under the cold white light, that three-dimensional and upright face seemed to be covered with some kind of filter, which inexplicably made her want to get closer unconsciously.

Perhaps it is just as the saying goes, what people pursue and desire to obtain are often those people and things that they have never obtained, but have left a stunning mark in their lives.

In fact, Ejima Mio knew very well that she was the kind of person who lacked a sense of security. Perhaps it was because of her difficult childhood, or perhaps it was because of the death of the Kitagawa couple who were so kind to her. Before this month, she had been hiding her emotions. The words she used to comfort herself during every sleepless night were always - the young master needs my care.

With this as an excuse, she could hypnotize herself and grit her teeth to get through it.

But his words just now, showing his sophisticated and calm handling style, shook the emotions that she had been hiding.

It’s like having someone to rely on again.

"Master."

After walking out of the hospital stairs, Ejima Miu, who was half a step behind Kitagawa Che, reached out and gently pulled the hem of his clothes.

It was already seven o'clock in the evening, but the entrance of St. Luke's International Hospital was still crowded with people.

"what happened?"

Beichuan Che stopped, turned around and looked at her.

After seeing the hesitation on the girl's face, he grabbed her hand and pulled her to a relatively secluded place that would not block passers-by.

"In the future, can I rely on you like I did today?"

After hesitating for a long time, she lowered her eyebrows and asked cautiously in a low voice.

"of course."

Beichuan Che nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

Hearing this, she did not respond, but just silently moved closer to him.

She had crossed the distance set out in the "Rules of Attendant" that she had always adhered to as a principle.

Beiyuan family.

After dinner, Mrs. Beiyuan took Beiyuan Rinyin to the backyard.

She discussed it with her husband, and they finally came to the conclusion that she should step in as the go-between between Rin and Che, providing guidance and observation.

Kitaen Masahiro wanted to volunteer to take on this responsibility, but she rejected him. The relationship between him and Rinyin was not good, and at home, he often played the role of a strict father. Asking him to talk to Rinyin about Che's problems, wouldn't that be making trouble?

After the mother and daughter sat down on the wooden chairs in the yard, Mrs. Beiyuan took the initiative to open the conversation, "Linyin, are you having trouble adapting to the new school?"

She wanted to ask this question yesterday, but after Linyin came home yesterday, she was not in a good state. She didn't seem angry, nor did she look like she was overwhelmed by frustration after some setbacks. She just looked like she was worried. After thinking about it, she chose to remain silent and let her daughter digest it herself. At the same time, she also made two plans. If Linyin's state was still not good the next day, she would ask.

But judging from today's situation, she doesn't need to worry too much about this.

"Yes, the classrooms are relatively smaller, there are more students, and it is noisier during breaks."

Kitaen Rinyin did not hide anything and spoke her thoughts truthfully.

"But from your tone, I think I'm just uncomfortable with it, not disgusted?"

A thoughtful look flashed across Madam Beiyuan's eyes.

At the same time, he had some speculations in his heart. The state his daughter displayed yesterday was probably not caused by this kind of discomfort. There must be other situations, such as some conflicts, or... related to Ache.

"Yes."

Beiyuan Rinyin nodded.

"Did you meet A-Che yesterday?"

Madam Beiyuan asked naturally without changing her expression.

"See you."

"How does it feel?"

Mrs. Beiyuan asked as she turned her head and looked at Beiyuan Rinyin, observing her expression.

"How does it feel?"

Beiyuan Linyin frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled by her mother's question.

"Has he changed?"

"Have."

"Is it good or bad?"

"I think it will take time to make such a judgment."

Kitaen Rin met her mother's gaze.

She believed this from the bottom of her heart.

The inherent impression that Beichuan Che left on her was quite bad, but what happened yesterday shook this impression and shocked her for a while.

But one thing is for sure, no matter how things change, her and his goals are the same for now, they both want to end this engagement.

When this engagement ends...

and many more.

Beiyuan Rinyin interrupted her own thoughts. She knew very well that flags should not be set randomly.

"Time." Madam Beiyuan nodded with a chuckle, "Of course, it takes time to see through a person, or to change your impression of someone."

She had been able to confirm it.

Linyin was very worried yesterday, and it was all about Ache, and if nothing unexpected happened, she should have left a good impression.

As a mother, at this time, she should pretend to be ignorant even though she knows the truth.
