Tokyo Love Story

"Feel sorry."

He preached in a low voice.

"It's okay, Uncle Tsugumi Makoto, it's my problem."

Yukisa Morishima shook her head.

"Your mother..."

Tatsuya Tsugumi sighed and subconsciously wanted to say a few words in defense of the woman he once loved.

"I don't really want to mention her, please."

There was a hint of pleading in Yukisa Morishima's voice.

"I understand."

Tsugumi Makoto shut his mouth.

The car fell silent again. This time, no one spoke. There was only silence.

With the reflection from the car window, Yukisa Morishima could clearly see Kankawa in front of her eyes.

It has been there from the beginning to the end, never disappearing, never melting.

She and that woman had nothing to talk about, nothing to discuss.

Please give me a ticket, see you tomorrow.

Chapter 63 Just Rumors

Campus life always seems to be like this. When you finally get used to its pace, its forward speed will suddenly increase, until it is just like an old train rumbling across the prairie, completely disappearing into the wilderness of the plain with the accompaniment of clanging sounds.

However, as time went on, the impact of the heroic act and the monthly exam incident did not completely subside as Beichuan Che had expected.

Therefore, even now, after nearly a month of absence, when he passed by students from other classes in the corridor, he would still receive curious or admiring glances from time to time.

Even during the school's lunchtime broadcast one day, the sweet-voiced senior high school girl specifically mentioned this matter, and her words were full of undisguised praise and gentle admiration.

Perhaps, just as Tsugumi Makina joked, this incident will probably accompany him throughout his high school career, leaving him with a "legend".

People always admire the strong, and this is especially true for high school students who have a relatively simple worldview. For this reason, everyone has begun to pay close attention to Yuuki Rinka's confession.

On Wednesday night, after dinner, Kitagawa Che returned to the bedroom on time and answered the call from Kanno Kaoru who called on time.

"Good evening, Editor Shen Ye."

Beichuan Che opened his mouth and greeted him.

"Good evening, Beichuan...I say, is this address really appropriate?"

On the other end of the phone, there was a hint of helplessness in Kamiya Kaoru's voice.

The titles between other editors and authors have always emphasized each other's identities, but the combination of her and Beichuan Che is quite strange. The latter refused to add suffixes such as San, Xiansheng, and Teacher after Beichuan because he was not used to it, and said that he should either call her by her surname or her first name.

After much thought, she decided to call him by his last name.

At first she didn't think it was a big deal, but now when it was mentioned in private, she began to feel weird, as if she was the only one who disrespected and trampled on workplace rules.

"Don't care too much about other people's opinions." Beichuan Che casually comforted his editor. He didn't care how people he had just met addressed him, but if someone who was a little closer to him added honorifics like Mr., Teacher, etc. after his name every day, he would definitely not be able to stand it.

"Then, in private, should I call you Ache? This way it will be more intimate." Shen Ye Xun hesitated for a moment and asked.

To be fair, her relationship with Beichuan Che is not unfamiliar now. The two of them still chat on Line from time to time, and the frequency is not rare.

"Whatever you like, it's fine."

"Well then, Che."

Kaoru Kamino tried to call out this name.

"uh-huh?"

"This time, I want to talk to you about the second round of sales." Shen Ye Xun paused, took a deep breath, and gradually entered the working state. "Currently, the second round of sales has been sold out, and the third round of sales is being prepared. It is expected to start this Friday."

"Ah."

Kitagawa Che was not in a hurry to respond. He knew that there must be more to what Kamino Kaoru wanted to say on the phone. There must be something else going on.

"Generally speaking, the third round of sales of well-known works will be accompanied by a book signing event, so..."

Having said this, Kaoru Kamino stopped.

According to the default cooperation items of Baiyuanchuan Library, the author must cooperate with the library for things like book signings. Moreover, book signings are a very good opportunity for an author to further promote himself.

He is a good writer and a handsome guy. This combination, coupled with a few shocking titles, is bound to arouse some discussion.

But Beichuan Che is quite special. The president's meaning is that she should ask Beichuan. If he is willing to open it, then open it according to the highest standards. If he is not willing to open it, then forget it, it's no big deal.

"Can you help me refuse?"

Beichuan Che gave a negative answer without thinking.

As for becoming famous and being in the spotlight, for now, he doesn't have much thought.

"Well, yes."

Hearing Kitagawa Che's answer, Shen Ye Xun was stunned for a moment, and then showed an expression of not being surprised. The Kitagawa Che she knew was indeed like this.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Editor Shen Ye."

"This is part of my job scope, so there's no need to thank me." Kaoru Shinno chuckled and explained, "Also, the royalties from the third round of sales will be credited to your account before next Wednesday."

"it is good."

"Then I won't bother you any more. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Beichuan Che turned off his phone, looked at the pink letter beside him, then looked at the song he had already written, and fell into deep thought for a moment.

How to reply? He is still struggling with where to record this song. He has not decided yet.

If you think about it this way, there are indeed a lot of things.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Kitagawa Che sighed slowly, thinking about how to reply to Yuuki Rinka.

*

In the living room on the first floor.

The TV program was turned down very low.

Only Ejima Tadashi and Kitaen Rin were left on the sofa.

Tsugumi Seina has already gone back. According to the former, she didn't get enough rest and will go to bed early tonight. However, based on Ejima Tadashi's understanding of her, as long as the early bedtime she mentioned involves "taking a mobile phone to bed", it can basically be called GG in advance and sentenced to death.

There was silence between the two for a moment, and it was Kitaen Rinyin who took the initiative to speak that put an end to the silence.

"My goodness, regarding Yuuki-san, Che..."

Kitaen Rin didn't finish her words, but she knew that Ejima Mia could understand what she meant.

"Ms. Rinone, are you talking about the reply to that love letter?"

Ejima Myo raised her eyebrows and her eyes fell on Kitaen Rin'in's pretty face.

After hesitating for a moment and exchanging glances with Ejima Miu, Kitaen Rin nodded hesitantly, "Yes."

"The young master means that he doesn't intend to accept it."

Ejima Miu turned her head and her eyes fell on the TV.

She could probably understand Kitaen Rin'in's feelings, but she didn't expose them. She just silently answered what the other person wanted to know.

They are of the same age, and even though their experiences are different, she can generally understand their emotional state of mind.

She has also experienced the feeling of liking something but being hesitant and unable to move forward.

"He's not going to accept it?" Beiyuan Linyin was a little surprised, "But aren't the rumors in the grade all..."

"You know, it's just a rumor."

Ejima Myo answered softly.

"Oh, too."

After coming back to her senses, Kitayuan Rinyin immediately realized her gaffe and the expression on her face adjusted instantly.

Time will disperse the reckless courage and gradually calm down the boiling brain.

If Kitaen Rinyin was determined to do something on the first day she arrived, then over the past few days, as time passed, that sense of urgency gradually faded away. A more stable state replaced that urgency.

She felt that the distance between her and Beichuan Che was already there, it couldn't be any closer. Under such circumstances, nothing unexpected would happen.

Then, she could slow down her pace for a while and take it slow.

Just as Kitagawa Che told her, confession is a song of victory, not a clarion call to attack.

But the rumors in the class on Monday and Tuesday, and the discussions in the class group, made her feel a little worried.

That is why, after hesitating for a long time, she asked this question.

"In a sense, the young master is actually quite slow to warm up. He is not the kind of person who can fall in love with someone at once even if they are in a relationship like water and fire."

After thinking for a while, Ejima Miu added this sentence.

It can be regarded as a comfort to Kitaen Rinyin, and it can also be regarded as a serious statement from the heart.

Someone is really slow in relationships, which makes people a little anxious.

Beiyuan Linyin listened and nodded, but did not say anything. She closed her thin lips and fell silent.

The editor told me that it will be on the shelves this week. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be on the shelves on Friday, which is tomorrow. If something unexpected happens, it will be on the shelves at the weekend. I hope everyone will support and place a first order at that time. Thank you for not delaying it so late.

Thank you to book friend Qixing Sanyu for the monthly ticket. Your support is my motivation for writing.

Chapter 64 Don’t have strange expectations!

Finally, during a quiet lunch break, Kitagawa Che came to the outside of Rinka Yuuki's classroom. Under the curious gaze of the students, he took her to a relatively quiet place and conveyed his thoughts to her truthfully.

As she uttered the word "apology", Yuuki Rinka's emotions surged and crystal tears began to well up in her eyes.

Even though she had prepared herself mentally before today, and kept telling herself that being rejected was normal, because love is always like this, the probability that the person you like also likes you is too low.

However, when the worst-case scenario she had anticipated actually happened before her eyes, all that psychological preparation was instantly overwhelmed.

In this age where saying "I love you" is more common than toilet paper, "like" that comes from the heart has always been precious and unforgettable. That is why being rejected by the person you like is so hard to let go.

Before they parted, Rinka Yuuki made a request. She hoped that Kitagawa Tetsu could give her a hug and put a comforting end to this relationship that had never even begun.

The request was reasonable, but Beichuan Che still hardened his heart and shook his head to refuse.

He knew very well that decisiveness was necessary at this time. This was kindness to Yuuki Rinka and also kindness to himself. Leaving others with hope for rejection would either be the beginning of pua others, or the beginning of the rejected person pua himself, and neither of these was his style, and he was unwilling to do so.

Thus, the confession incident came to a temporary halt amid the discussion of countless people.

*

When the sluggish afternoon sun once again spread across the earth, Shirakawa High School welcomed the Friday school dismissal time that the students had been looking forward to the most.

But for Kitagawa Che, the group of four returning home after school (get off work) today became a group of two returning home after school (get off work).

The moment the school bell rang, Ejima Mio hurriedly pulled Kitaen Rin and ran straight to the shopping street. They were going to buy ingredients for this week's holiday.

Kitagawa Tetsu originally planned to go with them, but Ejima Tadashi refused, saying that Kitazono Rin's help was enough. By the way, the short-haired girl mentioned that Hitotsugu Seina had said in the morning that she wanted to go home with everyone today.

Now that things had come to this, what else could Beichuan Che say? He could only nod and agree.

After he and Tsuchiya Seina walked side by side through another intersection, Tsuchiya Seina, holding her briefcase, turned her head and gave Kitagawa Che a shocked look for the Nth time today.

She always thought that Beichuan Che's rejection was just talk, but she didn't expect that he was serious and rejected her without any hesitation.

These days, many teachers in the office have been discussing this matter.

The math teacher who thought highly of Rinka Yuuki had such a look of heartache on his face that anyone with a discerning eye could see it.

His pain and distress were obvious to most of the teachers in the office.

Because of this, she has not spoken in the office these days, trying to remain silent as much as possible and make herself appear as "transparent" as possible.

"No, Sister Rina, is there something wrong with my face? You've looked at me like this many times since we left school."

Kitagawa Che slowed down his pace, turned his eyebrows away, and met Tsugumi Seina's gaze somewhat helplessly.
