Tokyo Love Story

For him, the end of the month is the most difficult time.

It’s not about pocket money, but about the monthly exam.

He had entered that state of learning during the last school year, so instead of groaning about every monthly exam, he even looked forward to it.

After all, there is nothing more gratifying than witnessing your own progress with your own eyes.

"uh-huh."

Beichuan Che responded casually.

He was still thinking about how to tell Kashiwagen Shiori about that matter later.

To put it bluntly, he discovered that the further he went on, the more troublesome the things he had to deal with became.

"The monthly exam is coming soon."

Seeing Kitagawa Che's reaction, Kiriyama Taku pinched his shoulder with some indignation.

Every time like this, he felt a little envious of this guy.

We all take the same classes and do the same homework, so why are there such huge differences in test scores?

"Ah, so fast?"

Hearing this, Beichuan Che was stunned for a second, then subconsciously began to calculate the time.

His campus life has never been quiet during this period, which has directly led to his increasing insensitivity to the passage of time.

"Yeah, it's that fast." Kiriyama Taku turned his head, squinted his eyes slightly, and looked at the office building outside the corridor that was bathed in bright sunshine. There was some emotion in his tone, "Summer is coming in the blink of an eye."

He really has some feelings about the passage of time.

Clearly in his memory, the first day of the second school year had not been long past, but in the blink of an eye, the first semester of the second year of high school was already halfway through.

"Based on your previous speeches, shouldn't you add a sentence at this time?"

Beichuan Che chuckled and asked this question with a meaningful tone.

Once upon a time, Taku Kiriyama, who was still a single nobleman, would definitely add something at such times that would make the boys passing by look at him sideways.

"I am no longer the same Kiriyama Taku as before."

Kiriyama Taku retracted his gaze and complained to Kitagawa Che in a bad mood, saying that he has a girlfriend now and should pay attention to his image!

"Like you said, people always change." Kiriyama Taku loosened his hand on Kitagawa Che's shoulder, then stretched his body lazily, "By the way, you can rest assured about those seniors in the third year of high school."

He didn't know what was wrong with him. Others felt sleepy in spring and autumn, but he felt more tired as the summer afternoon approached.

"What do you mean?"

Beichuan Che slowed down his pace and walked up the stairs. They were now quite close to the playground outside, which was a world of difference compared to when they were still in the first year of high school.

"literal meaning."

Taku Kiriyama raised his hand and took the staircase, then followed behind him leisurely, two steps slower than Che Kitagawa.

Boys change clothes very quickly, in other words, they don't have to rush like the girls in the class.

"Where did you get the information? Is it reliable?"

Kitagawa Che didn't care about this guy's behavior of keeping the secret at this time, or rather, if Kiriyama Taku didn't keep the secret at this time, he wouldn't be Kiriyama Taku.

"It must be the information I got from my senior high school informant. As for whether it is reliable or not, I can only say that when have you ever seen me tell false information?" Kiriyama Taku climbed up three steps in one breath with a "hey whoosh" and instantly came to Kitagawa Che's side. He patted the latter on the shoulder and teased him, "Anyway, congratulations, you have completely lost the chance to get two girlfriends."

"Then I can only say that this is very gratifying."

Beichuan Che shook his head nonchalantly, and the stone in his heart that was half hanging in the air also fell to the ground.

It would be most appropriate to put an end to the matter of the two senior high school students here.

"You are not grateful for what you have!"

Kiriyama Taku made a face.

He didn't believe that Beichuan Che had never fantasized about that kind of thing.

How could they not have thought about that aspect when they are in adolescence? It is a blessing for all!

"You'd better remain like this in front of Kiyono-san."

Kitagawa Che pointed out Kiriyama Taku's weakness without hesitation.

Others may not know this, but as a good friend of Kiriyama Taku, he knows it very well. Although this guy seems to have a lot of say outside and can talk to anyone, in fact, he is a completely different person in front of Kiyono Akino.

In the language of Shu where he lived before the time travel, this is called a henpecked person.

"Haha, Ache, you are so humorous."

Kiriyama Taku rolled his eyes.

He is not an idiot, how could he do that.

"It seems that you can still understand good and bad words." Beichuan Che paused and changed the subject, "Also, your English grades don't seem to be very good recently?"

"Yes." Speaking of this, Kiriyama Taku suddenly felt dizzy. He rubbed his temples. "I don't know what happened to the English classes recently, but I feel that the difficulty has suddenly increased to a higher level."

Logically speaking, if things had really become difficult, everyone should have felt the same way.

But based on his observations after class and the feedback from his girlfriend, who was the English class representative, it seemed that he was the only one who encountered such a problem.

"I'm going to ask you something." Beichuan Che turned around and looked at Kiriyama Taku seriously, "How were your English grades when you were in junior high school?"

"Junior high school, not too high, right?"

Kiriyama Taku raised his eyebrows, and a hint of memory flashed across his eyes.

His English score in junior high school was the worst in the subject, but it was also above average in the class.

Didn't say it was too bad.

"Is there a possibility that it is because the basic knowledge in the previous period was not solid?" Kitagawa Che gave Kiriyama Taku a look that said 'you will have to work hard'. "It's like building a house. If the foundation is not laid well, it will be difficult to build higher later."

In his opinion as a time traveler, learning such things requires a solid foundation. Otherwise, no matter how high your level is, you will be helpless because of the weak point effect.

Or to give a more vivid example, it's like the skill tree in an online game. You have to master the prerequisite low-level skills for the high-level skills before you are qualified to learn the subsequent high-level skills. Otherwise, no matter how high your level is, you will not be able to master that skill.

"Now that you put it that way, it seems to be true."

Kiriyama Taku scratched the back of his head. Some of the content he had learned recently was an extension of the English knowledge learned in junior high school, but since he did not master this part of the knowledge very well, he felt it was very difficult.

The two of them unknowingly arrived at the door of the men's locker room.

"So." Beichuan Che raised his eyebrows, gave a thumbs up, and said something in Chinese, "The road ahead is long and arduous, Tuo!"

"What does it mean?"

Kiriyama Taku asked this question with a dull look on his face.

"You can understand that what you are about to do now is difficult, but you have to do it. Otherwise, it will be like the foundation we just talked about. The further you go, the more uncomfortable you will feel."

Beichuan Che raised his eyebrows, and his eyes reflected the beautiful figure standing not far away, leaning against the corridor pillar.

Well, this is a case where the person involved came to him before he even went to find him.

Kitagawa Che gently pushed Kiriyama Taku and said, "Just say I went to the bathroom."

what? "

Kiriyama Taku widened his eyes, somewhat confused as to why Kitagawa Che suddenly said this.

But the next second, he understood what his best friend meant.

After following Kitagawa Che's line of sight and seeing Kashiwagen Shiori, he nodded, made an 'OK' gesture, and then walked into the men's locker room quite tactfully, leaving the space for Kitagawa Che and Kashiwagen Shiori.

It was about to start class, so there were not many people in the corridor.

This also means that the conversation between two people can be more relaxed.

Baiyuan Shizhi looked at Beichuan Che with a smile, and without waiting for the latter to react, she took the initiative to greet him.

"It didn't cause you any trouble, did it?"

This high school sophomore asked this question as if she knew the answer already.

"Do I still need to ask?"

Beichuan Che looked at her helplessly.

Although he said so, in fact, both he and Kashiwagen Shiori knew very well in their hearts that he did not reject or dislike her behavior.

"Okay, okay, I know our Mr. Kitagawa is a busy man. It's not easy for him to take time out to chat with me." Bai Yuan Shizhi smiled wickedly and blinked. Without giving Kitagawa Che a chance to fight back, she cleared her throat and went straight to the point, "A Che, what does the question that Rinyin asked on Line mean?"

At noon today, Kitaen Rinyin tagged her and Rina in the Kitagawa family group and asked a question, asking if they were free on Saturday weekend.

Sister Rina has already answered and said she is free.

As for herself, she didn't quite understand the meaning of Linyin's question, so she thought about asking Ache to get to the bottom of it before deciding how to answer.

"You mean the one asking if you guys are free?"

Kitagawa Che met Kashiwamoto Shiori's gaze.

The other person's elegant face was reflected in his eyes.

"Yes."

Kashiwagen Shiori nodded, and hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she still didn't say "I'm not sure, so I came to ask you."

"It means exactly what it says." Kitagawa Che considered his words, "Don't I have a villa in Wutong Yayuan? I'd like to invite you and Sister Rina to visit me this Saturday and weekend."

He had already thought about it. Instead of talking in a roundabout way for a long time, it would be better to be direct.

In other words, he didn't beat around the bush on this matter.

"Oh!"

After she finished speaking, Kashiwagen Shiori looked at Kitagawa Che with sudden realization.

It turned out that she was overthinking and her cleverness backfired.

To put it bluntly, this invitation is to celebrate her birthday.

How could she possibly refuse such a good thing?

and.

This invitation should represent something.

Given Linyin's personality, since she was willing to invite me to the villa that only she and Miao had been to, it meant that she recognized me.

Then, the progress between myself and my colleague should be able to be accelerated.

Kashiwagen Shiori straightened her expression and gave her answer with a beautiful smile.

"I'm free!"

Chapter 398 I'll ask for you

The next day, Saturday, at 10 a.m., inside the Music Network building.

Sitting in the boss chair behind the desk, Kawai Changgo rubbed his slightly swollen temples and felt inexplicably tired.

In the early years, he was able to cope with this kind of work intensity with ease, but in recent years, as he has grown older, he has increasingly felt overwhelmed. Even if he maintains a good schedule and exercises every day, he often feels physically and mentally exhausted.

Perhaps, Nobuhiko was right, and I really should take a good rest for some time.

But the work here...

Ugh.

With a helpless sigh, Kawai Changgo leaned back in his chair, raised his head, and looked at the white light from the masterless lamp pouring down from above, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

If we say that he had been working hard for his students in the first half of his life, then from the time Nobuhiko left the stage until now, his life has been occupied by everything related to the music network. It seems to be a glorious life, but it is accompanied by a lot of complicated work and heavy responsibilities that are enough to drive a young man crazy.

This is exactly in line with what Ache said before, people always yearn for something before they get it.

This kind of thing is really like drinking the water, only you know whether it is hot or cold.

Boom, boom, boom.
