Tokyo Love Story

According to what he saw occasionally when he passed by the canteen run by the school cafeteria, there was always a long queue at lunch time. There were many people who raised their hands before the get out of class was over, saying that they had a stomachache and needed to go to the toilet. In fact, there were candidates who started queuing up early in the cafeteria.

It is for this reason that the fried noodles and bread, which are supplied in limited quantities every day, are in such short supply.

And right now, Taku Kiriyama can hold two in his hands.

I can only say that this guy is really good at it.

"I have something to ask of you."

Kiriyama Taku lowered his head and gave Kitagawa Che a pleading look, asking, "Can we talk alone?"

Yeah, no problem. "

Beichuan Che just thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.

If he had to say it, he was actually quite curious about what had happened to Kiriyama Taku that made him look like that.

In his impression, his bad friend rarely showed such an expression.

Thank you. "

Hearing this, Kiriyama Taku breathed a sigh of relief.

Before making this request, he was very nervous. After all, he knew his friend's personality very well. During lunch time, if there was nothing to do, Ache didn't like to walk around. In the words of the person concerned, it was fine to eat in the classroom.

"Then..." Kiriyama Taku paused and looked at Kitagawa Che, "Shall we go to the playground?"

This time, Kitagawa Che did not say anything. He just silently closed the lid of the lunch box, picked up the lunch box, then stood up and gave Kiriyama Taku a look that said "lead the way".

On the side, Kitaen Rin, Ejima Tadashi and Morishima Yukisa, who noticed the action here, all stopped what they were doing and looked at the two people who walked out of the classroom with curiosity.

Because this was at school, Ejima Mia didn't worry about the safety of her young master.

Furthermore, even if he encountered an emergency, with the young master's current abilities, just talking about the situation in Shirakawa High School, he would definitely be able to handle it with ease.

But curiosity is still curiosity.

After all, she had never seen such a 'heavy' or serious expression on Kiriyama Taku's face.

"Kiriyama, what's wrong with him?"

Taking her eyes away from the door, Kitaen Rin paused and asked the question that Ejima Myo was curious about.

The three of them have been eating together frequently since early February.

Of course, this was the result of Xuesha's rare initiative.

"Hmm... maybe you had a fight with your girlfriend?"

Yukisa Morishima tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then came up with an answer that she thought had some possibility.

After all, the only time that the usually cheerful Kiriyama Taku can show a serious expression is probably when talking about his emotional problems.

"In this case, the possibility is not very high."

Ejima Tadashi shook her head and her eyes fell on Kiyono Akino who was standing on the other side of the classroom.

This girl in the same class was also looking in the direction where her young master and Kiriyama Taku left with a confused and worried look on her face.

Obviously, Kiyono Akino didn't know what was going on either.

"So that's the division of subjects?"

Yukisa Morishima made another guess.

She was not too worried about the subject division. On the one hand, her grasp of the first-year high school knowledge had reached a new level. On the other hand, during this period, Rin and Miao were both teaching her.

With the help of two private teachers, the first and second in the grade, and both of them had great teaching talents, she was like a sponge, madly absorbing knowledge that she had not mastered before or had mastered only loosely.

Maybe?" Huidao Miao shook her head uncertainly, picked up another piece of tomato scrambled eggs with chopsticks, and then said the second half of the sentence in a very casual manner, "Anyway, I'll know after asking Che later."

Given Kitagawa Che's personality, as long as it wasn't a question involving personal privacy that the other party wanted him to keep confidential, he would answer whatever she asked.

In a sense, the young master is indeed a very honest person.

*

In the playground, under the shade of trees where he could see many students playing basketball, Beichuan Che casually sat down beside the flower bed.

After glancing at Taku Kiriyama who was still 'brewing', he opened the lunch box and continued to eat slowly.

Hot food is definitely better than cold food.

However, up to now, he still couldn't quite figure out what the secret of his bad friend was.

Fortunately, Kiriyama Taku did not remain silent for too long.

Amid the sound of the basketball hitting the ground, he took the initiative to speak and broke the silence, "Ah Che, I'm a little undecided."

"Hmm~"

Kitagawa Che picked up a piece of rice with chopsticks, but did not rush to put it into his mouth. Instead, he looked at Kiriyama Taku, raised his eyebrows, and signaled him to continue speaking.

He just couldn't make up his mind and couldn't give any advice.

Or, in other words, if you can't make up your mind, you really have to guess?

"My family recently told me that they hope I can choose liberal arts instead of science."

This time, Kiriyama Taku didn't hesitate any more and said this directly.

Before, his family had never mentioned what subject he should choose, but now, with the final exams approaching, his father, who had always respected his opinions, had a serious talk with him about this matter.

The general meaning is that I hope he can choose liberal arts instead of science.

The reason is that his personality is more suitable for liberal arts rather than science.

He really wanted to tell his father that he knew his own personality very well. Being cheerful usually did not necessarily mean that he was suited to liberal arts. Similarly, someone who always had a stern face was not necessarily suitable for science.

Hearing this, Kitagawa Che was stunned for half a second. He thought Kiriyama Taku was going to say something to him. He was even prepared for the other party to tell him that he was breaking up with Kiyono Akino and so on.

The result is this! ?

But soon, Beichuan Che adjusted his mood.

At this age, it is quite normal for families to interfere with or even intervene in students' choices.

"Then what do you think?"

Beichuan Che put the rice into his mouth, chewed it a little, swallowed it, and then naturally continued the conversation.

"Me?" Kiriyama Taku opened the plastic seal of the fried noodles and bread, with a hint of reluctance on his face, "I want to choose science."

"Because you are more interested in science?"

Kitagawa Che turned his head and looked at Kiriyama Taku.

"Yes—" Kiriyama Taku met Kitagawa Che's gaze and suddenly lost his temper. His original somewhat perfunctory remarks were replaced by his true feelings. "Half and half, speaking from a personal perspective, I like some subjects in science, and the same goes for liberal arts."

"What about the other half?"

Beichuan Che withdrew his gaze from him and picked up a piece of shredded pork with red pepper with chopsticks.

I have to say, although he hasn't cooked for a long time, his cooking skills have indeed not declined.

Still as delicious as always.

Of course, he knew in his heart that the reason why this dish was so delicious, in addition to his own cooking skills, was more due to the inheritance and accumulation of generations of chefs in that hometown.

If they hadn't released the recipe so that everyone could learn it, how could he have learned it?

"I don't want to be separated from Akino."

Kiriyama Taku spoke his mind honestly.

He is not love-brained—at least he personally doesn't think so.

As for whether he is in a relationship or not, his family members are aware of it, but they have not given a clear attitude towards this matter. They neither support nor oppose it.

"Then that's it, isn't it?" Beichuan Che shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Since you know why you chose science, then sit down and have a good talk with your family."

He was aware of Kiriyama Taku's family situation. Both his father and mother respected this guy's personal wishes.

He is a very open-minded parent.

However, based on his experience, the fact that Taku Kiriyama can have such a family environment is inseparable from his private self-awareness.

It's a two-way journey.

"But this reason..."

Kiriyama Taku fell silent and took a big bite of his fried noodle bread.

"Does this reason sound a bit untenable?"

Beichuan Che swallowed the chopstick-full of shredded pork with red pepper in his mouth.

Yes. "

Kiriyama Taku nodded.

He had an indescribable premonition that if he told his father such an answer, he would most likely be rejected.

Because this statement sounds quite uncalm and unclear.

"But you haven't tried it, so why not give it a try?" Beichuan Che paused, "We always have to find an excuse or a reason for what we want to do. In fact, we haven't reached that point yet, have we?"

Kiriyama Taku is just a high school student. There's no need for him to act like an adult who has been struggling in society for so many years and needs a convincing excuse for everything he does.

"But……"

Kiriyama Taku was still a little worried.

"No buts." Beichuan Che interrupted him, "You should start with your own results, and then talk to them about Kiyono Akino, and tell them your thoughts truthfully. With your parents' open-mindedness, I don't think they will say anything.

"After all, the decision on what subjects to choose is ultimately in your hands."

But, let’s put it this way.

Based on his intuitive feeling.

If Kiriyama Takuma does what he says, as expected, Kiriyama Takuma's parents will definitely respect his choice.

After a moment of silence, Taku Kiriyama took a deep breath and made a decision.

Now that he thinks about it, it was indeed because he was too worried about everything that he had gained, which led to him not trusting his parents.

But such distrust is actually unnecessary.

Ah.

In an instant, he suddenly smiled as if he had realized something.

"I'll give it a try first as you said."

That's right.

Beichuan Che also nodded.

"Good luck."

Sorry guys, I was busy during the day so the update is late.

This chapter is two-in-one, just a little short of 4K7, which is a small gesture of sincerity (

I would like to thank Super Electromagnetic for the reward from Hanabi Kon-sensei, and Dao Shuisheng for the monthly votes. At the same time, I would like to thank the good fans who have been voting for recommendations. Your support is the driving force of my writing. I bow.

See you all tomorrow~

Chapter 336 Selfishness

After communicating with his family, Taku Kiriyama had a new understanding of Che Kitagawa.

This good friend of mine is not only more mature than his peers in study and work, but also extraordinarily sophisticated in life.

Just as Kitagawa Che said, his communication with his family went very smoothly.

After explaining the reasons and appealing to his emotions, his father was convinced by him. As for his mother, the always gentle woman simply reminded him that this was the first relatively important decision in his life, so he should just do it when he had made up his mind and not let himself regret it.

"It looks like it's going well?"

The next day, after the first class in the morning, Taku Kiriyama came to Kitagawa Che's seat with an excited look on his face, but before he could open his mouth, Kitagawa Che said this with a smile.

In a sense, Kiriyama Taku is indeed a very easy person to understand, after all, his emotions are clearly shown on his face.

"Yes."
