Tokyo Love Story

Yukisa Morishima, who was sitting next to them, didn't notice the little movements between Kitagawa Che and Kitaen Rin. She just rubbed her eyebrows and looked at the textbook in front of her with some headache.

She did attend some classes this semester and also learned some previous knowledge in bits and pieces during the summer vacation, but the results were probably not enough to pass the final exam.

She still needs to review, but she has always been self-aware when it comes to academics.

With not much time left, reviewing alone would be inefficient and would also bring up more problems - the knowledge points that she had not mastered before would not be solved by reviewing.

This means she needs a teacher.

Taking out her cell phone, Yukisa Morishima pursed her thin lips slightly.

The slender fingers tapped on the phone screen.

She sent a line of edited words to Kitagawa Che.

[Che, I need help. I can’t handle the final review by myself.]

Sorry, I overslept today, so the update is late.

Thank you for the reward from Teacher Hanabi Kon-sensei of Super Electromagnetic, thank you for being a bad guy in the next life, and the monthly tickets from all the teachers. Your support is my motivation for writing.

Chapter 276 A quick mind

"Xuesha is actually worried about the final exam?"

In the evening, at the Kitagawa family's dinner table, Tsuchiya Seina, who had just put a piece of fish-flavored eggplant into her bowl with chopsticks, was stunned when she heard what Kitagawa Che said.

In her impression, this girl never cared about things like grades.

Of course, she also knew that Xuesha's test scores had improved this semester, from being terrible to now being around the class average. If you had to say it, the progress was quite remarkable.

She has praised this girl for this many times in class.

However, praise is praise, progress is progress, and many things cannot be changed in a short period of time.

For Yukisa Morishima, her future life is almost tied to music, or to be more precise, to the piano. And with a mother who seems to be so successful, the four words "school performance" are basically just empty words to her.

That's why her grades were so poor in the first semester of this school year.

Once a person's attitude towards something is fixed, it is not easy to change it - even if the person's ideas have changed a little.

"Rina-san, that expression you just made is unqualified for a teacher."

Beichuan Che shook his head and put a piece of shredded beef into the bowl with chopsticks.

He cooked a table of Chinese food tonight.

However, in order to take into account Kashiwamoto Shiori, who was not so tolerant of spicy food, the attentive Ejima Tadashi still prepared two Japanese dishes that the former liked and placed them on the table.

"How can you say I'm disqualified? I didn't say anything bad about anyone. I just..." Tsugumi Seina looked away, her pretty face showing a hint of evasion, "I was just surprised."

"I'll take what you said as the truth." Beichuan Che chuckled, picked up a piece of shredded beef with chopsticks and put it in Tsuchiya Seina's bowl, "Try it."

This dish was not as spicy as Tsugumi Makina had imagined. She had noticed that just now. Tsugumi Makina wanted to pick up some of the dish to try, but the peppers looked too oppressive, so she was afraid.

Tsugumi Seina didn't respond, but just looked at Kitagawa Che silently.

She had an indescribable feeling.

Obviously everyone has a light taste, why can you eat so much spicy food? ?

"Really, it's not spicy?"

After hesitating for a moment, Tsuchiya Seina picked up the shredded beef in the bowl with chopsticks and looked at Kitagawa Che with some trepidation.

His cooking skills are impeccable.

But in terms of taste, each of these Chinese dishes is quite delicious.

"I can't say it's not spicy, but at least it's not as spicy as you imagined." Kitagawa Che met Tsugumi Seina's gaze and responded to her in a serious tone, "It's about the same spiciness as the mapo tofu you ate before."

"Let me try."

Tsugumi Seina swallowed her saliva and closed her eyes, looking as if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead and she was ready to die calmly.

After taking several deep breaths, she put the chopsticks of shredded beef into her mouth.

With her cheeks puffing up, she opened her eyes in surprise.

This dish was not as spicy as she had imagined. Quite the opposite. The spiciness was just a filler, and it was more of a fragrance with a slight sweetness in the aftertaste.

"This!" Tsugumi Seina's eyes lit up, "It's delicious!"

Hearing this, Beiyuan Linyin, who looked cautious, no longer hesitated and picked up a piece of shredded beef with chopsticks and put it in her bowl.

Her thoughts just now were the same as Tsugumi Seina's.

The stir-fried shredded beef smelled particularly delicious, but the smell of chili peppers and the pile of chili peppers on the plate really frightened her. In order to avoid having to drink several glasses of water with one mouthful of shredded beef, she chose other relatively safer dishes.

For example, her favorite home-cooked dish, the combination of tomatoes and eggs, is quite delicious.

Kitayuan Rinyin started eating the shredded beef with chopsticks along with the rice.

It was completely different from what she had imagined, the kind of spicy taste that would bloom on the tip of her tongue, like a ball of fire being swallowed down. It was indeed spicy, but the spiciness was not unbearable.

"hiss……"

Picking up the water cup beside her, Kitayuan Rinyin took a sip of warm water and then picked up a piece of shredded beef with chopsticks.

The spiciness was just within her acceptable range.

"If you still find it spicy, you can consider picking up a tomato scrambled egg next to the chopsticks, so that it can be neutralized."

Beichuan Che picked up a chopstick of tomato scrambled eggs and put it in the bowl of Beiyuan Linyin who was sitting next to him. The latter nodded and gave him a grateful look.

"But, I heard what you said, Sister Rina." Beichuan Che changed the subject and continued the unfinished topic, "Has the preferential treatment at school reached this point?"

"I think you may not have a direct understanding of Yukisa's mother." Tsugumi Seina rolled her eyes at him, took a sip of the warm water in front of her, then picked up a piece of shredded beef and put it in her bowl before continuing, "Morishima Yukie is very famous.

“Every year, Yukie Morishima consciously mentions her alma mater, Shirakawa High School.

“This is a kind of invisible propaganda.

"Relatively speaking, it's just a small convenience. Besides, Ren Xuesha didn't cause any trouble. On the contrary, she brought honor to us. What's the point of this little bit of preferential treatment?"

In the past, she had some resentment towards Yukisa Morishima who was forced upon her by the principal, but as she got to know her better, such complaints gradually disappeared, and were replaced by admiration and heartache.

Morishima Yukisa has come a long way. As a teacher, she felt very distressed when she heard from Kitagawa Che about her past.

Happy people are healed by their childhood throughout their lives, while unhappy people spend their entire lives healing their childhood.

Maybe now Yukisa Morishima's relationship with her mother is better, but some things cannot be relieved in a short period of time.

Just like the "inner demon" in the very interesting martial arts novel from the other side that A Che once mentioned.

"So how long does Che plan to help Xuesha review?"

Kashiwagen Shiori, who was sitting nearby and listening with her ears perked up, asked thoughtfully.

"Today is Thursday, let's do it tomorrow."

Beichuan Che thought about it and expressed his thoughts.

He also answered Yukisa Morishima in the same way on Line.

"Oh."

Kashiwagen Shiori lowered her eyebrows slightly, and her mind became active.

Since "review" can be an excuse to call someone out alone, then discussing the plot of the new book can also be an excuse.

Thinking of this, a cunning gleam flashed across her eyes.

But no one at the table noticed the micro-expression on her face. Their attention was all on two other things. One was the gossip about Kiriyama Taku and Kiyono Akino, and the other was the dinner after the final exams.

See you all tomorrow~

Chapter 277 Learning from the Scriptures

After saying good night to Tsuchiya Serina, Kashiwagen Shiori returned to her room, closed the door, and called her mother.

She needs to discuss the next 'strategy' with someone.

In the past, she could discuss with Tsugumi Makina, or even complain to her, but now, she has noticed some clues. On other issues, Tsugumi Makina is still the same Tsugumi Makina, but on issues related to Kitagawa Tetsu, the person involved may not even realize that she has begun to show a "double standard".

We will never get to the point if we discuss this way.

What's more, she always felt that something unclear must have happened between Sister Rina and Che.

The whole process was definitely not as easy as Rina-san said, breaking into the house, persuading them with reason and emotion, and then welcoming them. If she could convince the people of Tsugumi Makoto's family with just her words, then what was the point of Rina-san's struggle over the years? A joke?

Toot, toot, toot.

After the waiting ring rang three times, the phone was picked up.

"Good evening, Shiori."

In the office of Kashiwayan Bunko, Kashiwayan Yuki was flipping through the documents that he had not finished processing today while switching his phone from receiver mode to speakerphone.

"Good evening, Mom."

Kashiwahara Shiori seemed to understand what he meant and switched her phone to hands-free mode. She then leaned against the back of the bed and looked thoughtfully at the lamp without a main lamp that emitted soft light.

"You called me so late, do you have something to discuss with mom?"

After flipping through a pile of documents, Bai Yuan Youji raised his eyebrows and glanced at Bai Yuanchuan who was sitting on the sofa next to him. The latter nodded in understanding, stood up and left the office consciously.

"Mom, do you remember the guy I told you about last week?"

Kashiwagen Shiori did not keep anyone in suspense, nor did she hesitate or waver. She went straight to the point.

She has figured this out.

When it comes to relationship problems, either you should figure it out on your own and not ask anyone, or if you have decided to ask, don't hesitate or hesitate, just ask and be done with it. If you have this time to think about it, many things can be solved.

"You mean that colleague of yours?"

Kashiwa Yuan Youji narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was some more thought in his eyes.

She had asked her husband about Beichuan Che's situation, but his introduction was too concise and to the point, even to the point of only containing key words.

"Yes."

There was a hint of sadness in Kashiwagen Shiori's eyes.

The competition is getting more and more intense now. Some of the imaginary enemies she had set up before have also joined in this bloodless war. However, her current situation is not optimistic.

"cheer up."

Even through the phone, Kashiwagen Yuki could guess his daughter's expression at the moment.

In her opinion, Shiori is good in every way except for one shortcoming, which is that she easily feels frustrated, especially when it comes to things like this.

"Or do you think that if you frown and get depressed, many problems will be solved?" Kashiwagen Shiori paused, stopped flipping through the documents in her hand, and changed the subject. "I remember clearly that day when someone talked about his story, his eyebrows were dancing with joy."

As a mother and as someone who already has a family, she knows very well that her daughter probably likes that colleague very much.

But Shiori is still in a passive stage at the moment.

At this stage, if you can't get something you want, you will like it more.

If there is external interference, such liking will be deepened unconsciously, so blocking is definitely not as good as easing.

And considering the actual situation of that 'colleague', he is a very outstanding person, and he did not deliberately tease his daughter, but just interacted with Shiori normally.

Relatively speaking, there is no need to worry that he will take advantage of his daughter's affection for him to do something else.

Listening to her mother's words, Kashiwahara Shiori did not say anything, but just bit her red lips silently.

"Back to the original topic, the purpose of your calling me this time should not just be to complain to me about this, right?"

Baiyuan Youji capped the pen and put it aside, with a hint of anticipation in his clear eyes.

She hoped she could hear the answer she wanted to hear from her daughter.

"Yes." Kashiwa Yuan Shizhi took a deep breath, temporarily put aside the frustration and depression, and talked about the real purpose of her call, "I came to ask my mother for advice."

"Learn from the scriptures?"

Kashiwagen Yuki chuckled.

She hadn't heard this word from her daughter's mouth for a long time. The last time she heard it was when Shiori was in the first year of junior high school. At that time, the girl was in a period of confusion.

"Ah."
