Tokyo Love Story

Kitaen Rinyin walked to the side of Kitagawa Che, keeping a distance of about 30 centimeters between them. This distance neither made them seem too intimate nor too distant.

"I've already booked a table." Kitagawa Che did not answer Kitaen Rin's question, but raised his hand and pointed to the western restaurant not far away. That was the restaurant recommended by Tsugumi Seina after he asked her. It was her eyes that were a little ambiguous when she answered, "It's just in front, ten minutes away."

Beiyuan Rinyin murmured "hmm" in a low voice and didn't say much, showing the image of a docile young lady who obeys your arrangements in everything.

"Then, let's go."

The two people walked side by side and headed towards their destination at a leisurely pace.

The evening breeze blew gently, lifting a strand of black hair at Beiyuan Linyin's ear. The slightly dazzling sunset light shining in her face made her squint subconsciously.

The setting sun in the distance is gradually being swallowed up by the horizon, and the fiery red and golden light paints the entire sky. Under the bright yellow halo, the streets at dusk on a holiday seem to be infinitely stretched.

There is a dense flow of traffic next to the nearby road.

The setting sun shone onto the windows of the vehicles in the lane, bringing with it the slightly tipsy smell that should be in the city at dusk.

She turned her head, and the busy street was reflected in her beautiful eyes.

Young couples holding hands, high school students with smiles on their faces, young white-collar workers taking a walk with their girlfriends after dinner, the whispers of passers-by mixed with the sound of vehicle engines in the lanes, and the moment people pass by each other, the dividing line between night and day seems to become charming at this moment.

Unable to help herself, Beiyuan Rinyin turned her eyebrows, raised her head, and secretly glanced at Beichuan Che beside her.

When she first came, she was actually a little worried, including when she was in the car just now, her expression was a little complicated.

She felt that if she and Beichuan Che went out alone, the atmosphere would most likely become awkward.

For two people who are already heading for a breakup, it is difficult to create a good atmosphere on such a "date", and there is a high probability that they will maintain a headache-inducing silence.

The atmosphere of silence will bring about awkwardness, and awkwardness will further deepen the feeling of "reluctance".

She had even prepared herself for how the two of them would pass the time after they became silent, but now it seemed that she was too pessimistic about everything.

At least for now, as she walked side by side with him on the street dyed red by the sunset, she was not as reluctant and unhappy as she had imagined. On the contrary, she was quite relaxed.

Perhaps just as her mother told her before she left, things are often not as bad as we imagine.

"Thank you this time for agreeing to my willful request."

After walking side by side for a distance, Kitayuan Rinyin finally spoke to break the silence.

On the phone, she said, "I need your cooperation," but in fact, they both knew that he could refuse this matter.

After all, this has nothing to do with him.

Because this was not part of their agreement.

But in fact, he still agreed, which made her very grateful.

If Beichuan Che had refused, she would probably still be fighting wits and courage with Beiyuan Zhengyu.

Or maybe Kitaen Masayoshi should have made the call. In that case, the situation might have headed in a direction that neither of them could control.

"It's nothing."

Beichuan Che shook his head and sighed in his heart. Even for Miao, she was really looking forward to him and Beiyuan Rinyin coming out. God knows what her train of thought was.

"Come to think of it, you're different now."

Kitaen Rin'in's voice became much softer.

"People always change, just like their views on the same thing, they will have different opinions and perspectives at different times."

Kitagawa Che had already thought about how to answer this question, but Ejima Miao had never asked it. In a sense, this silly girl really trusted him too much.

"So this is why you decided to work hard?"

Beiyuan Linyin paused, tilted her eyebrows, and looked at Beichuan Che with some curiosity.

People always need reasons to change.

From what he said, it seemed that his change was due to this reason.

"Half and half." Beichuan Che thought for a moment, "I can't always rely on Miao to support me. Besides, she is not as strong as most people think."

"You are definitely different now."

Beiyuan Linyin looked at Beichuan Che with a little surprise, and she became more and more determined in this idea.

In the past, Kitagawa Che also worked hard in his studies, but his efforts were more aimless and without clear goals. Now he is completely different.

"Let's talk about something else." Beichuan Che paused and changed the subject, "For example, something about school."

The two of them went to the same school, which meant they had enough common topics and there was no need to worry about the conversation becoming awkward.

For students, school life is probably the best chatting medium.

As students, there are many things to talk about in school. Not to mention studying, which is not popular among most people, just the gossip among classmates and a teacher's teaching approach are a lot to talk about.

"That's something to talk about." Beiyuan Linyin raised her eyebrows, and her expression became more intriguing. She teased him, "The incident with Senior Sister Baiyuan has earned you a lot of fans."

"I said I don't want that, do you believe me?"

Beichuan Che defended himself.

"Of course I believe it." Beiyuan Linyin teased someone, "It's just that Senior Baiyuan doesn't think so. You haven't forgotten what happened in the physical education class, have you?"

Because of the limited space in the indoor gymnasium, physical education classes for each grade are rotated, and the physical education class of Class A in the first year of high school happened to be taken together with Class D in the second year of high school where Shiori Kashiwamoto was.

Last Thursday, during the second physical education class in the afternoon, after volleyball practice, Kashiwahara Shiori handed someone a bottle of iced drink in front of two classes, and there was a burst of ghost howling at the time.

Now, she could still hear the boys shouting "Cha Lemon".

"she……"

Kitagawa Che sighed. He didn't know how to describe Kashiwagen Shiori.

This senior who seems to be aloof in her grade is a loner, but in reality, there are too few people who can share common topics with her. Without common topics, and without any intention to find them, isn’t it just torturing herself to force herself to chat?

At present, there are only two people in Shirakawa High School who can talk to her.

One is himself, and the other is Tsugumi Seina.

Furthermore, according to Kashiwagen Shiori, after that incident, they became friends. Can't friends care about each other a little?

Besides, he was her only friend in school.

Therefore, Beichuan Che had no choice but to retreat.

Thanks to Shiori Kashiwagen, the incident of the hero saving the damsel in distress would have come to an end soon, but now it is becoming more and more popular because of her occasional appearances in Class A of the first year of high school.

"Actually, Senior Baiyuan is pretty good too." Beiyuan Linyinwu changed the subject, her tone still natural, but the corners of her mouth were inexplicably tense, "She has a good figure and is pretty."

"If..." She stretched out her tone, "If you are interested in her, you can actually try to take the initiative."

"Don't say that." Beichuan Che shook his head and made a small joke, "We haven't called off the engagement yet. I'm not the kind of person who would be indecisive."

If he really wants to do it - you are the one I like most among all the ones I fall in love with, he thinks he is not up to that standard.

What's more, his idea now is to achieve the goal of financial freedom after solving the temporary financial problems of the Kitagawa family.

At this stage, he doesn't want to be distracted by other things.

As a time traveler, God has given him a chance to start over again, so he must seize it.

When it comes to love, just let it take its course, and he never thought of forcing anything.

"The most affectionate one in Shirakawa High School?"

Beiyuan Rinyin blinked, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and teased him.

"It's a passionate legend in Bunkyo!"

Kitagawa Che cooperated quite well and corrected Kitaen Rin's statement in a serious tone.

After the words fell, the two looked at each other, neither of them held back and smiled.

The atmosphere between the two of them also eased and relaxed.

The ten-minute journey passed by in a flash while we were chatting and laughing.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them had arrived at the front door of the Western restaurant that Tsugumi Seina had highly recommended.

Here is an explanation of why Kitaen Rin's attitude towards the male protagonist changed.

The incident in the stairwell was the beginning, the incident of being a hero was the official turning point, and then with this dating incident, things have actually turned around. I can’t say that they love each other, but at least they have returned to the stage close to being friends.

No one would have a cold face when talking to friends, right?

This chapter is two chapters in one, see you tomorrow.

Also ask for a ticket!

Chapter 41 Date Day (Part )

'Keyuan' is the name of this western restaurant.

Just like its recognizable name, the owner of this western restaurant is not a native of Tokyo. To be more precise, he is a Chinese from the other side of the Taiwan Strait.

This western restaurant has only been open for two years, but it has already established a firm foothold in the area.

In a sense, the rise of this Western restaurant was accidental but also inevitable, and it just adds a bit of legendary flavor that cannot be replicated.

It has high-quality service, unique store design, excellent chefs who are not inferior to other well-known Western restaurants and even surpass them, as well as weekly music performances and dessert sharing activities. These together constitute the secret of this restaurant's superiority over other restaurants.

It is said that before opening this western restaurant, the couple who left their hometown experienced many setbacks and difficulties, and their marriage was even on the verge of breaking up.

Later, after enough market research, the two decided to open such a western restaurant. The couple worked together one last time. If the restaurant could operate normally under each other's dedicated management, then this marriage that was on the verge of breaking up would not be over yet.

Whether this marriage will be successful or not is up to God to decide.

Some people often say that when you encounter a problem and need to make a decision, just toss a coin. When you toss the coin, the answer is already in your heart.

This store is the coin that belongs to them.

With the couple's joint management and cooperation in the affairs and work of the western restaurant, the previous sense of distance disappeared, and was replaced by an increasingly intimate and tolerant relationship between the couple.

As if it was destined, after a small gathering initiated by well-known authors and hosted by them, this Western restaurant soon got its opportunity thanks to the spontaneous publicity of many authors taking photos and checking in.

The high-quality dining experience and sincere service attitude have attracted batch after batch of guests, leaving them with a deep and good impression.

Good word of mouth will ferment, and "Keyuan" just as its name suggests, has officially started to exert its strength.

From the sparse flow of customers in the beginning to the increasingly popular current situation, during the peak dining period, a good window seat needs to be reserved two days or even three days in advance. On some special holidays, the reservation time may even have to be made a week in advance, and it is not certain that a seat can be reserved.

It is precisely because of the story of the couple who own this restaurant that most of the people who come here to dine are couples in love.

There is nothing more romantic than a couple running the same business together. When they are at their lowest point in life, their broken relationship warms up again, and their career also gets better and better.

It is precisely because of this past that, apart from some singles, the majority of people who come here to dine are couples.

Occasionally, the store also hosts surprising proposals.

——And all of this was explained by Tsugumi Seina to Kitagawa Che last night.

After handing over the reserved information to the waiter at the door, Kitagawa Che, under the guidance of the waiter, and Kitagawa Rinyin came to the best window seat on the second floor of the restaurant.

When Tsuchiya Seina recommended this restaurant, she also went to great lengths to book a table for him - to be more precise, she gave him the table she had booked on Tuesday.

In her words, her best friend had to work overtime this week anyway, and going to a restaurant like that alone would be pure dog food, so it would be better to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha.

After taking the order, the waiter bowed slightly and left.

There were only two people left at the table, staring at each other.

"I remember that this restaurant is not very easy to make a reservation." Beiyuan Linyin considered her words and took the initiative to speak, breaking the silence between the two.

"Rina-san helped me." Kitagawa Che did not hide it, "She reserved a seat last week, but her friend needed to work overtime, so she gave the seat to me."

"Rina-san? The teacher in charge of our class?"

Kitaen Rin was stunned for a moment when she heard the name. Her relationship with Tsugumi Seina was ordinary, just like a teacher and student, not too distant, but not too close either.

"uh-huh."

Beichuan Che nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

However, he did not continue talking about the matter of neighbors. If Kitayuan Rinyin did not ask about it, he would not have mentioned it.

After all, when teachers eat at students' homes, it sounds like nepotism, which is not a good thing.

As for the other party involved, Tsugumi Serina, she may not care much about this, or she has already given up on herself in front of herself and Ejima Tadashi?

At the dinner last night, after picking up a piece of curry chicken nuggets with chopsticks, Tsugumi Seina said with emotion: I am such an incompetent teacher to eat at my student's home and eat so deliciously. Tsugumi Seina, Tsugumi Seina, you can't be so depraved.

As a result, before she finished speaking, she licked the remaining curry on her chopsticks and added another bowl of rice to her meal, enjoying it even more.
