Tokyo Love Story

"As for the shopping street, the distance is about the same, about 20 minutes. As for transportation, if you don't consider driving, you can get a bus within 500 meters of the villa area." After a brief recollection, Ejima Tadashi added, "But I heard from the person in charge of the villa area that a shuttle bus will be opened in the villa area in the near future that goes directly to the bus station, and it will run about every five minutes.

"Show me something like a room card? But they call it a residence card."

She has learned a lot about the specific details of the villa area in the past two days.

However, although there are shuttle buses to and from the bus station, the person in charge there still recommends driving yourself, after all, driving is relatively more convenient.

"In that case, it's quite convenient?"

Beiyuan Rinyin frowned slightly and said this uncertainly.

She hasn't actually lived there yet, so she can't make a definitive conclusion.

Some problems can only be discovered after living there for a while.

“It’s generally quite convenient, but it’s still difficult to get to the level of convenience that we have now.”

Speaking of this, Ejima Miu sighed.

All I can say is that things have always been like this, and there is no way to have the best of both worlds.

If you want more space, you will sacrifice relative convenience.

"After all..." Ejima Myo carefully considered her words, put away her previous expression, and smiled, "If you want to walk to school, you will have to walk too far."

"Then your judgment is correct." Beiyuan Linyin also smiled. "Anyway, in the short term, the value of this villa may be more inclined to a bigger house."

"In short, you have to go there and actually live there to know the specific situation."

Ejima Miu didn't say it too firmly.

"uh-huh."

Beiyuan Linyin responded, and then stopped talking. She just looked at the driver's seat thoughtfully, and ripples appeared in her lively eyes.

Wait until the day when Che is exposed in front of the camera.

Maybe it’s not a question of whether they are willing to move.

But had to move.

However, considering his personality, it will probably be a long time before that day comes.

But now that I know that day will come.

So before that, it should be clear what they should do - create as many precious memories of their own as possible.

I would like to thank teachers such as Nan Fang You Peng, Do You Like the Sea, and I Like the Waves for their monthly tickets. Your support is my motivation for writing.

see you tomorrow!

Chapter 287 The Last Hot Pot in December

Just as the weather forecast said, the rain finally fell. The slightly cold raindrops fell from the sky, passed through the clouds, skimmed the gaps between the tall buildings, and hit the cement asphalt road, gradually turning the light-colored road into a dark color.

Amid the sound of dripping rain, the whole city seemed to be covered with a layer of dark gauze, adding a bit of coldness and mystery, and losing some of its former liveliness and bustle.

Goo-dong, goo-dong.

Sitting at the dining table in the villa, Beichuan Che looked at the steaming hot pot in front of him that was emitting a fragrant aroma, and for a moment he was dazed.

The surprise they prepared together is this! ?

From the moment they arrived at the villa, Kitazono Rinone became mysterious all of a sudden, as if she had discussed it with Ejima Tae in advance. They didn't even have time to visit the rooms in the villa. After the curry pork chop rice at noon, Kitazono Rinone and Ejima Tae went straight into the kitchen.

In order to avoid him being curious about what they were doing, she or Miao would come out from time to time to watch TV with him or chat with him. In short, they would take the topic as far as they could and make it as off-topic as possible.

But after all, he had lived under the same roof with them for such a long time, and this overly obvious way of changing the subject would not fool him at all.

However, he did not expose it, but chose to pretend to be ignorant even though he knew the truth.

After all, as Miao often told him, life always needs some surprises.

However, he never expected that this surprise would be much bigger than he imagined.

"You guys made this?"

Kitagawa Che withdrew his gaze and looked at Kitaen Rin and Ejima Tadashi with surprise.

The hotpot they made was not the Sukiyaki hotpot that we usually eat at home, but a real Sichuan hotpot.

If he remembered correctly, there was no matching hot pot base at home. Even if he wanted to buy some, he would have to go a long way.

"Yes."

Kitaen Rin and Ejima Tadashi looked at each other, and then the latter nodded actively, proudly puffed up her small nose, and gave an affirmative answer.

She and Miao Ke put a lot of effort into preparing for today's surprise.

Just to find a hot pot base that they could accept and that Che would also like, they went to no less than five Chinese convenience stores. Then they went through a process of careful selection. In the end, it was only with the kind store owner's tireless introduction and suggestions that they were able to barely select two hot pot bases that met their requirements.

To be on the safe side, they took some time to try it out.

——On the day when Che went out to record a song, she and Miao prepared two kinds of hot pot bases respectively.

After tasting it, they made the final choice, which was the soup base placed in front of him.

"Li... you've worked hard."

Beichuan Che originally wanted to praise them both for being great, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his mind.

To be honest, it is not easy to find the hot pot base with the right taste.

This is especially true for Rin and Miao.

It is quite annoying for two young girls who don't know much about Sichuan hotpot to find the most suitable hotpot base among the dazzling array of hotpot bases, even with the help of a salesperson.

To make a not-so-appropriate analogy, the difficulty is roughly equivalent to asking a boy to choose the red color that his girlfriend likes from a variety of lipstick colors.

The main theme is "Why do they all look the same to me at first glance?"

"Actually, it's not bad."

Kitaen Rinone shook her head, turned her eyebrows away and looked at Ejima Miu, who tilted her head with a confused look on her face, obviously not getting what she meant.

Ugh.

Sighing in her heart, the eldest daughter of the Beiyuan family reluctantly said the following, "After all, this is for you. Many tedious processes are not that troublesome if you think about it carefully."

She originally wanted Miao to say this.

Just as she had promised Miao, they would stay with him from now on, so she would not be jealous at this time.

After the words fell, Beichuan Che's expression was somewhat moved. He looked at Beiyuan Rinyin blankly, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

"Don't be so moved." Beiyuan Linyin changed the subject and raised her eyebrows mischievously, "I didn't say that, it was Miao who said that."

"Ms. Rinone!"

Ejima Tadashi, who had been sitting calmly just now, suddenly lost her composure and her face instantly turned red.

It was true what she said, but she had no intention of telling the young master at this time.

"Well~" Beiyuan Linyin blinked, and there was a bit of coquettishness in her slightly cold voice, "As for me, I'm not that stupid. Troublesome things are just troublesome, so, you're saying "hard work" Yes, I’ll accept it!”

"Of course."

Beichuan Che nodded.

To be honest, if his fiancée really continued the same atmosphere as before, he probably wouldn't know how to respond.

It's not about avoiding or anything. After all, considering their current relationship, there is no such thing as 'avoiding' between them. I don't know how to respond. In the final analysis, I am just speechless for a moment.

"Okay, stop being so serious and let's get started."

Kitaen Rinyin stood up like a hostess, picked up the plate with the cut ingredients on the side, and poured the cut beef into the pot in an orderly manner.

"I'll help too."

Ejima Miya also stood up and gently pushed the seasonal vegetables, mutton and pork in front of her into the pot.

In the past, her young master had specifically mentioned to her how to eat Sichuan hotpot.

To be more precise, on the day when the young master submitted "Listen to the Wind Sing" and received the first payment for his manuscript, at the dinner table, the young master gave a detailed introduction to the origin of Sichuan hotpot, the spices used, and the specific ways of eating it.

In the young master's words, Sichuan hotpot and traditional Sukiyaki pot are two different things. Hotpot is all about filling the stomach first and then eating slowly. Sukiyaki pot is completely different.

In a sense, it was from that time that she became interested in the steaming, red Sichuan hot pot.

After Ejima Tadashi and Kitaen Rin added all the necessary ingredients into the boiling pot, the three of them looked at each other and fell silent.

Under the light, the heat in the pot rises naturally.

"Speaking of which, Master, do you still remember what Kiriyama-san said in the class group?"

After three and a third minutes of silence, Ejima Tadashi coughed lightly, breaking the silence among the three people.

"Which thing?"

Beichuan Che raised his head, with some doubt in his eyes.

There are so many things that Takumi Kiriyama talked about in the class group, from the gossip in the school, to which family restaurant has good taste and affordable price, to where the salary will be higher when working part-time, the foreman Well, basically there are all kinds of things, everything you want.

The most outrageous thing is that most of these news are accurate, and he either disdains to talk about those "rumors" or, when talking about them, he will repeatedly emphasize that the news is just a rumor at present.

Seriously speaking, the more he interacted with Kiriyama Taku, the more he felt an indescribable emotion.

This guy is truly a talented person.

Given his well-informed information channels, we can only say that the future is promising.

"It's about dating."

Ejima Tadashi didn't keep the audience in suspense and went straight to the point.

However, two days later, when she brought this up again, her face inevitably showed a bit more complexity.

God knows what's going on in Kiriyama Taku's brain. His girlfriend is obviously in the class group, but he can still ask like that in the class group as if nothing happened.

But...

As far as the results are concerned, this kind of 'asking questions despite knowing the answer' is quite effective.

After all, Kiyono Akino herself answered the question in person.

Because of the parties' answers, the class group was lively for a while, and many people criticized the stupid couple for showing off their affection, but based on her understanding of everyone in the class, when they were "criticizing" Kiriyama and Kiyono, the smiles on their faces should have never stopped.

"Oh!"

Hearing this, Beiyuan Rinyin reacted immediately.

She is very familiar with this.

After all, she was one of those people who fanned the flames by "watching the fun and making trouble".

However, for the sake of accuracy, she decided to confirm it again.

"Myo is talking about 'Kiriyama-san asked everyone in the group where to go for a date?', right?"

Kitaen Rinyin turned her head and looked at Ejima Tadashi to confirm.

"uh-huh."

Ejima Mia nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

"Does Che have any impression of this incident?"

Kitayuan Rinyin turned her gaze away and looked at her fiancé who was sitting next to her.

Whether it's her or Miao, their sensitivity to someone's news has reached the point of despair.

Che knew almost nothing about what happened in the class, except what he saw with his own eyes, heard with his own ears, or what Kiriyama Taku told him.

In the class Line group, his speeches were few and far between.

The few that there are are all repeated.

"Uh, a little bit."

Beichuan Che gave a weird smile.

"What's that expression on your face...?"

Beiyuan Linyin's eyes lit up, and like a detective who had grasped the key point, there was a bit more curiosity on her face.

"Before he asked in the class group, he came to ask me." Kitagawa Che turned his head, avoiding the gaze of his fiancée, "He said that he didn't know how to invite Kiyono Akino out on a date.
