Tokyo Love Story

He seemed a little sorry for the girl who had waited for him to come home and left a light on for him. No matter how late he came home today, he should have told her in advance.

After thinking it over, he replied.

[I will let you know next time I'm coming home so late. Sorry. Also, good night.]

The message appears as read.

Ejima Mio turned off her cell phone and yawned loudly. Her previous anxiety over what might have happened to her young master also eased.

"Good night."

She whispered, placed her phone next to her pillow, closed her eyes, and let sleepiness engulf her consciousness.

Time passes like this day by day.

After the two-week retaliatory sales period ended, the daily sales of "Hear the Wind Sing" gradually stabilized, and the remaining 10,000 copies were sold at a leisurely pace.

This also made most of the colleagues and practitioners who were paying attention to this book feel relieved from the bottom of their hearts. At least this book did not violate the market rules, and the viral-like sales speed in the early stage finally slowed down.

However, despite this, some editors from publishing houses began to make their own plans after seeing this.

The new author 'Kitagawa' has shown such a promising debut work, so it is easy to imagine how far his subsequent works will go.

Even though there are many talented authors who reach the peak as soon as they debut, but then fail miserably with their second book, it is still better to have one more genius at your side than one more genius at your opponent's side.

Thus, the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers.

However, Baiyuanchuan Library had already taken precautions in advance. On the one hand, it kept Beichuan Che's personal information confidential. On the other hand, it spread the word that Beichuan and Baiyuanchuan Library had signed a long-term cooperation agreement.

Under the constraints of the industry's unspoken rules, even publishing houses with not-so-clean hands have chosen to stop.

Poaching is based on the premise that people have not signed a long-term cooperation agreement. Once they have signed, poaching them would violate the unspoken rules of the industry.

Those who do not follow the unspoken rules will be backlashed by the entire circle.

As for the matter that Tsugumi Seina had kept in reserve, it ultimately did not cause any waves.

The man did not make a big fuss about it but chose to remain silent. On the one hand, he might have felt it was too embarrassing, and on the other hand, there was indeed a considerable gap between his family and Tsugumi Makoto's.

As for that over-the-shoulder throw, he could only regard it as a tuition fee, and he had to swallow it even if he gritted his teeth.

But compared to that man's depression, Tsugumi Seina became happier and happier after the party incident.

She seemed to have thrown away the last psychological burden, and her smiles became more and more frequent and brighter every day. Even the students in Class A of Grade 1 and the teachers in the teachers' office began to guess vaguely whether there was something wrong with this big sister (colleague).

It's just that the situation is completely different from what they expected.

It’s not that there’s a problem with Tsugumi Seina, but she just doesn’t have to go on blind dates anymore. This year, she has gotten rid of this troublesome matter.

According to what Tsuchiya Makina said last weekend, she will no longer be bothered by so-called blind dates for the rest of the year, and she has ushered in a brand new life. Then, she said that she should celebrate, and brought two rather expensive ingredients and added two dishes on the spur of the moment.

She enjoyed her meal that day and was also happy washing the dishes... maybe?

In the blink of an eye, it was Wednesday in mid-May.

Jingle Bell.

As the bell rang for the last class in the morning, the young female teacher of Class A, Grade 1, picked up the lesson plan and left the classroom without hesitation.

The teacher's departure means the official start of lunch break.

After stretching and letting out a comfortable groan of finally being liberated, the male students in twos and threes either walked towards the school cafeteria arm in arm, or took out their lunch boxes from their seats. Some chose to eat directly, while others went to the heating room and planned to heat them up in the microwave.

Kiriyama Taku originally planned to have dinner with Kitagawa Che, but after catching a glimpse of Kitaen Rin who had already started talking to him, he reluctantly gave up his seat and refused to be a third wheel. Instead, he went to the cafeteria with several other boys in the class.

Suddenly there were less than ten people left in the classroom, and it looked empty.

So Kitayuan Rinyin looked around for a few times and confirmed that no one was looking in this direction before getting straight to the point, "Does that outfit look good on you?"

In fact, she shouldn't have asked this question, but under the insistence of her mother and father, she could only act as a messenger.

Of course, she herself knew that she no longer had any resistance to Beichuan Che. On the contrary, she was quite happy to chat with him.

"It fits well, not tight."

Kitagawa Che gave a thumbs up and gave a very high evaluation.

Whether a piece of clothing is comfortable or not does not require so much detailed description; simply saying "fits" is enough.

Now that I think about it, it's no wonder that a week before the suit was delivered, Kitanen Masahiro called him mysteriously and asked him a bunch of random questions, such as whether he had grown taller recently, whether he had gained weight, etc. He even called Ejima Miu over to answer the phone.

"That's good." Beiyuan Linyin breathed a sigh of relief, and took out a brand new, just-opened copy of "Hear the Wind Sing" from her schoolbag. Her fair face was flushed with shyness, "Can you sign another autograph for me? This is for my mother."

Beichuan Che was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile, "Of course."

But before he could turn around and pick up the pen, a gentle knock came from the back door.

A tall and slender figure appeared at the back door of the classroom.

After greeting a girl in a familiar manner, Kashiwagen Shiori walked into the classroom and went straight to Kitagawa Che.

She looked at the book in Beiyuan Rinyin's hand, then looked at Beichuan Che, as if she understood something, winked at the latter, and then looked at the former, "Well, can I borrow him for a minute?"

Kitaen Rinone glanced at Kashiwagen Shiori. For various reasons, she didn't like this senior schoolmate very much, but given her current relationship with Kitagawa Che, she couldn't make any decisions for Kitagawa Che after all.

In the end, Kitaen Rin nodded.

Seeing that she had answered, Baiyuan Shizhi smiled slightly, then turned her eyebrows away, took out a letter from the pocket of her skirt and handed it to Beichuan Che.

She had originally planned to tell him in person, but now it seemed that it was obviously inappropriate.

"This is?"

Beichuan Che looked at the letter in front of him and was stunned for half a second.

"Maybe it's a love letter?" Kashiwagen Shiori blinked, and gently touched her thin lips with her index finger, keeping it a secret. "Remember to give me a reply after you read it. Remember to reply, otherwise the girl's delicate heart will be hurt."

After she finished speaking, without giving Kitagawa Che a chance to answer, Kashiwagen Shiori turned around and left in a leisurely manner.

Looking at the figure of Kashiwagen Shiori disappearing before her eyes, Kitaen Rinone frowned.

She knew that the chances of the letter being a love letter were slim, but her mood inevitably worsened.

This scene also caught the eyes of the students who had been observing this place.

Their eyes were fixed on the white envelope in Beichuan Che's hand.

This is a love letter! ?

The boys and girls in the classroom opened their eyes wide, their faces filled with disbelief and shock.

Are you serious? Senior Baiyuan!

Thanks to Meng Jing Zhishui and Ge You Bei Huan for their monthly tickets. Your support is my motivation for writing.

See you tomorrow.

Chapter 52: Boy, playing hard to get! [4K4 -in-]

In fact, this letter is not a love letter, it is just an invitation.

Shiori Kashiwamoto said that she encountered some difficulties in writing. After talking with her editor, the editor told her that she might need to relax, find a day to go shopping, watch a movie, have a meal, etc. If she forced herself to write, she would not be able to write anything, and even if she forced herself to write, it would be a far cry from her standard.

But she doesn't have many friends. In total, there are only Tsuchiya Makina and him in the entire Shirakawa High School. Tsuchiya Makina has something to do this Saturday, so she can only come to him for help.

Of course, she wouldn't take up too much of his time; ten in the morning to five in the afternoon on Saturday was enough.

After putting away the letter, Beichuan Che felt inexplicably emotional. Apart from the regular campus life, he had basically never had a rest day since the start of school. If it were before he traveled through time, this would have basically never happened.

After putting away the letter, Beichuan Che took out his mobile phone and opened Line.

He and Kashiwagen Shiori became friends after that trip to the principal's office. They didn't chat much on weekdays, just a sentence or two occasionally, and most of the content of their chats was about writing.

Completely different from what most of the students in Class A imagined, their chat history was clean and innocent.

After thinking about it, Beichuan Che opened the chat window with Baiyuan Shizhi. Looking at the cat head avatar, he sent a message back, "I will go. Where is the meeting place?"

[Downstairs of Kashiwagawa Library]

Soon, a concise reply came from the other end.

[Okay, I'll contact you then.]

After typing out this line of words and sending it, Beichuan Che put away his phone and raised his eyebrows. Before he could even take out his lunch box from the desk, he met Beiyuan Rinyin's direct gaze.

"Beichuan, I..."

"Ah Che, what did the letter say?"

Ejima Tadashi interrupted Kitaen Rin'one and asked what the latter wanted to ask.

She could see that Miss Rinone was very concerned about this matter, but she seemed to be hesitant to speak. Based on her understanding of the latter, she could already come to a conclusion with such an expression without even having to think about it. This was the look of she was hesitating and not knowing how to ask.

In that case, let her provide assists.

After she finished speaking, Kitaen Rinone raised her eyebrows and gave Ejima Myo a grateful look.

She warned herself several times in her heart not to ask. Their current relationship was at best that of comrades-in-arms with the same goal. Apart from that, there was no other relationship. However, the more she told herself this in her heart, the more anxious she felt.

It was like seeing the exquisite little bear that had been displayed in the window of a toy store. She had passed by that store countless times and seen that little bear. When she passed by it before, she thought that the little bear was not good-looking, even a little unattractive.

But one day, when night fell and the light in the window was turned on, she suddenly realized that the little bear was really cute.

But she didn't bring enough money that day.

The price of the little bear was not cheap, and it was expensive in the category of plush toys. So she thought that the little bear would not be sold out in a short time, and it would be the same if she came back the next day with enough money to buy it.

But when she happily came to the store the next day with her saved money, the little bear in the window had disappeared.

She asked the clerk, and the clerk said that the teddy bear was bought by another little girl before the store closed last night.

At that moment, feelings of regret, disappointment, and self-blame immediately surged up.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

"Uh." Seeing Kitaen Rin's appearance, Kitagawa Che was stunned for a moment, then met Ejima Tadashi's gaze and explained, "Baiyuan is in some trouble, I may have to help her."

"Not a date?"

Ejima Miu blinked and confirmed again.

"No."

Beichuan Che shook his head and glared at the girl unhappily.

When it comes to his emotional issues, apart from the Beiyuan couple, the person he cares about the most is the girl in front of him who claims to be his maid.

As soon as the words fell, the students who had been listening quietly in the classroom all breathed a sigh of relief.

For the boys, as long as Shiori Kashiwamoto is not in a relationship or dating anyone, their dreams will not be shattered; for the girls, they also hope that this top flower in their grade can continue to be beautiful alone and not come down to earth to harm the world.

"It was all for nothing."

Although Ejima Miu said this, she didn't look disappointed at all. Instead, she showed a relaxed smile. She pursed her lips, stood up, and walked to Kitagawa Che's desk.

"Next time before you say these words, remember to manage your expression first, otherwise it will look too obvious." Beichuan Che shook his head and teased, then took his lunch box out of the desk and put it on the table.

He has already signed the autograph that Kitaen Rinyin wanted, and it's time for lunch at this point anyway.

"Leave this to me." Before Kitagawa Che opened the lid, Ejima Myo's white and tender hands took the lunch box first, "Don't eat cold food just for the sake of convenience! Che!"

Kitagawa Che raised his eyebrows and looked at Ejima Mia, the latter's eyes were firm and serious. She raised her eyebrows, and the aura of a housewife who was intimidating without even getting angry instantly spread out.

Generally speaking, if a man and a woman look at each other for more than five seconds, they are either going to kiss or fight.

So, after staring at each other for three seconds, he ended the conversation by saying "surrender".

Beichuan Che nodded honestly, "Okay, I understand."

"That's pretty much it."

Ejima Miu picked up two lunch boxes, then turned around and gave Kitaen Rin a look that said, "Do you need any?"

"I'll go with you."

To Ejima Myo's surprise, Kitaen Rin picked up her lunch box and stood up.

"Ah."

After exchanging a glance with the latter, Ejima Miu nodded.

She could feel that Beiyuan Rinyin must have something to say to her.

The two of them left the classroom one after the other.
