Tokyo Love Story

"Progress is a good thing." Beiyuan Zhengyu said this as if to summarize, then picked up the TV remote control, turned on the TV, and continued to chat with Beichuan Che, "By the way, Che, Linyin should not cause you any trouble over there, right?"

"Uncle, you are wrong, or you said it the other way around." Beichuan Che waved his hand, "Take the emergency situation for example, if it wasn't for Lin Yin, I might have just come out of the hospital right now." He thought for a moment and added, "It's more like I'm causing trouble for her."

"I don't think that's a problem." Before Beiyuan Zhengyu could reply, Beiyuan Linyin spoke out her true thoughts, "It's only natural to help each other."

She originally wanted to say that it was normal for engaged couples to help each other, but she eventually swallowed back this statement which was tantamount to a confession.

At this moment, the girl's sense of shame outweighed her courage and shamelessness.

However, if Beiyuan Zhengyu was not there, perhaps she could grit her teeth, encourage herself, and say these words.

"It seems that you have changed a lot during this period of time, Rin." Kitaen Masahiro said with a smile and a double entendre.

As soon as the words fell, Kitayuan Rin'in, who understood her father's hint, had her earlobe stained with a hint of light pink.

Subconsciously, she shrank against the back of the sofa, letting her hair block the light from above and hiding her shy expression with the shadow.

But she felt a little unwilling to just say nothing and let her father tease her for nothing.

So she coughed lightly, quickly adjusted her fluctuating mood, and responded openly, "Just like what you often told me, father, people and things are always developing, and there will always be changes. This is the most normal thing, isn't it?"

This time, it was Beiyuan Zhengyu's turn to not know how to respond.

He really never thought that his daughter would say such a thing.

Just as he was about to say something else, a gurgling sound came from the sliding door of the kitchen.

As if it had been rehearsed thousands of times, what followed was Kitaen Risa's natural greeting.

Dear), Che, Linyin, wash your hands and eat."

I'm going to post two chapters today, and there will be another chapter in a minute.

Chapter 107 Is she pretty? [3K]

This simple meal at the Beiyuan family was not much different from what Beichuan Che had imagined. There was no sense of strangeness or alienation.

Of course, he also knew that this was most likely due to Kitaen Risa's chatting ability.

The hostess of the Beiyuan family livened up the atmosphere at the dinner table with just a few words, and Beiyuan Risa did not ask about their academic performance like Beiyuan Masayoshi did. Instead, she was more concerned and curious about whether their campus life was fulfilling.

Under such circumstances, even Ejima Tadashi, who usually speaks very little, started to talk more.

What Kitagawa Che never expected was that, with a few words from Kitaen Risa, the topic naturally developed from their campus life to the recent concert.

Fortunately, Kitaen Risa seemed to understand his temperament and did not let him explain the whole story, but instead threw the conversation to Ejima Tadashi.

This attendant has always been keen on praising his own master.

After considering the words and going over the overall outline in her mind, Ejima Tadashi began to describe the entire concert in detail.

When Ejima Tadashi finished her brief narration, Kitaen Risa, who had been listening with great interest, raised her head and looked at Kitagawa Che, and naturally asked the question, "Did you win the first prize in the Shirakawa High School concert this time?"

"Ah."

After hesitating for a moment, Beichuan Che nodded.

"What do you think?" Beiyuan Lisa paused and looked at him with interest. "Miao also said just now that after the song was finished, the whole audience was cheering and shouting for an encore)."

She had watched the video of the concert, so asking this question now was just pretending to be ignorant.

"I don't have too many thoughts." Beichuan Che considered his words and spoke his true feelings. "The success of the performance is not just my own credit. The biggest contributor to the improvisation at the end was my partner, not me."

Without that improvisation, the song would still be good, but definitely not to that level.

At that time, the two of them cooperated subconsciously.

"Your partner?" Kitaen Risa stood up, picked up a serving chopstick, picked up a piece of fried chicken and put it in Kitachuan Che's bowl, "This is best eaten while it's hot. Also, Miao just said that your partner seems to be a girl?"

"Thank you, Auntie." Kitagawa Che first thanked her, and then answered Kitaen Risa's question, "Yes, a girl who is very talented and accomplished in piano playing."

"Is she pretty?"

"what?"

Beichuan Che was stunned for half a second. He looked at Beiyuan Risa with some confusion. For a moment, he wondered if there was something wrong with his ears and that was why he heard it wrong.

"Is she pretty?" Beiyuan Lisa repeated it again. Beichuan Che's handsome and upright face was reflected in her light brown eyes. She smiled softly and explained, "It's just out of curiosity as an elder."

"It's pretty." Beichuan Che picked up the chicken nuggets from the bowl and stuffed them into his mouth. Beiyuan Lisa's cooking skills were quite good, better than he expected. While chewing, he raised his eyebrows and gave Beiyuan Lisa a thumbs up, "This is delicious! Auntie."

"If you like, come often. Auntie will do it for you." Beiyuan Lisa smiled gently, and then asked meaningfully, "Then you should still keep in touch after this concert, right? After all, you are classmates, and you cooperated so well this time."

"Yes, I asked her for a favor, and now she is still my teacher."

Speaking of this, Beichuan Che's tone softened a little.

He was becoming more and more accustomed to Yukisa Morishima's teaching ideas and style. The more he interacted with this girl, the more he could feel the tacit understanding between them.

"teacher?"

Kitaen Risa repeated it, her eyes calmly falling on her daughter's face. After receiving the other party's nod of understanding, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned her attention back to Kitagawa Che.

"Yeah, a music teacher." Beichuan Che put a mouthful of rice into his mouth and explained lightly, "Of course, I learn this just out of interest."

"It's good to develop more hobbies. After all..." Kitaen Risa picked up a piece of seasonal vegetables for herself with chopsticks, "As time goes by, you have less and less time for yourself. When you have to run around for your family and livelihood, you won't have the energy to learn some hobbies."

"I understand."

"However, Che stole the show at this concert. Auntie, just to be curious, have you received any love letters recently?" Beiyuan Lisa's eyes were full of nostalgia and reminiscence. "When I was in high school, I also participated in a small hall performance at the school festival. After that performance, I received several love letters one after another in the next month."

"I've mentioned it many times." Beiyuan Zhengyu coughed lightly, with a hint of displeasure on his face, "The child's mother."

Hearing this, Kitaen Risa smiled helplessly, her eyes fell on Kitachuan Che and her daughter's faces, she shrugged, and gave them a "helpless" expression.

Here.

Look at him, he is so old, but still a jealous person.

Beiyuan Lisa shook her head and said as if coaxing a child, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it."

After Beiyuan Zhengyu's interruption, the atmosphere at the table became more relaxed.

"Not yet." Beichuan Che chuckled and shook his head. "The study atmosphere at Shirakawa High School is still quite strong. Although the school does not object to people dating, generally speaking, there are not many students who are dating."

"But others are always others. This kind of thing is definitely a family affair. What do you think about this issue?" Beiyuan Lisa lowered her eyebrows and her eyes fell on the fish soup placed in the middle. The milky white soup exuded a strong fragrance. She thought about it, stood up, picked up the spoon, and added a spoonful of soup for herself. "Have you considered falling in love in high school?"

Hearing this, Beiyuan Rinyin calmly put down her chopsticks and pricked up her ears quietly.

She knew very well that her mother was legitimately delivering information to her at the dinner table.

"I haven't thought about this deliberately. Generally speaking, let it go naturally." Beichuan Che paused, "After all, love affairs can't be rushed. In other words, there's no point in being anxious. The more anxious you are, the more likely you are to drift apart."

"That's what they say, but as someone who has been through it, I think we can be more proactive in relationships." Beiyuan Lisha raised her hand, tucked a strand of black hair behind her ear, and said with a double meaning, "After all, many times, things you think are far away are actually very close.

“As long as you feel with your heart, you will find that the person who truly cares about you and truly likes you is right beside you.

“As long as you are willing to take the initiative, love is actually within your reach.

"Also, Rin has already told me about the agreement between you and Rin."

Speaking of this, Kitaen Risa was inevitably silent. She took a deep breath, adjusted her breathing, raised her head, and her eyes fell on Kitawan Che's face. Her eyes revealed a serious light, "The decision on the matter between you two is in your hands.

"But my aunt believes that no matter what decision you make, it is best not to let yourself regret it in the future. As a person, the most important thing is not to rush for a goal, but to slow down and cherish the present while having a goal.

“But having said that, Auntie still suggests that Che should give this matter some more thought.

“But just like what my aunt said just now, no matter what the final result is, I hope Che can make his own decision.

“This is respect for oneself and responsibility for oneself.”

"I...will."

Beichuan Che nodded, straightened his expression, and gave his answer solemnly.

There is only one day left until tomorrow when he and Kitaen Rinyin had agreed to meet.

After the last day of this month, the "gentleman's agreement" between the two of them came to an end naturally.

But... compared to before, he has now begun to waver in his thoughts about whether to keep this engagement.

After this period of actual contact, not only did his impression of Kitaen Rin change, but his impression of Kitaen Rin also changed from the "cold" and "serious" precocious girl in his original memory to a good girl with a cold face but a warm heart.

Especially the unexpected incident during that date, which left a heavy mark on his heart.

Between life and death, she, who had always been afraid of pain, could be so brave.

This surprised him and also made him feel emotional.

Humans are highly adaptable creatures, and he has become accustomed to having such a new person in the family.

Maybe, it would be a good idea to keep her.

Inexplicably, this thought popped up in his mind.

"Of course, the same goes for you, Rin."

Kitaen Risa's gaze fell on Kitaen Rin'ine's face.

The eyes of mother and daughter met in the air at this moment.

There was no need for words, just a glance and the mother and daughter understood each other's meaning.

Silently, Kitaen Rin nodded slightly.

Some opportunities are already in front of you, it just depends on whether you can cherish them.

Under the table, Ejima Miu quietly tapped the back of Kitaen Rin's hand, and when the latter subconsciously looked at her, she blinked.

The attendant's position was clear from beginning to end.

"I will help you, Miss Rinone."

Thanks to Gurenyisi, Liangliangi, and Qixingsanyu for their monthly tickets. Your support is my motivation for writing.

The big one is coming~

Chapter 108 Flowers in the Dust [5K1 Small Chapter]

When I came out of Beiyuan's house, the lights were already on.

The group got on the car for their return trip, and the person in charge of driving was Kitaen Masahiro.

The president of Beiyuan Corporation did not take the convenience of calling his bodyguard to drive the three people home, but instead acted as the driver himself.

The black Bentley with piano paint finish drove out of the villa area, merged into the traffic flow, and drove smoothly towards the Bunkyo District.

On this summer night, the city's lanes have not yet completely quieted down. Even though the city's evening rush hour has been avoided, there are still many vehicles traveling on both sides of the lanes. Amid the hustle and bustle of traffic, there are people coming and going on the pedestrian walkways, and there are many office workers yawning on their way home. This steel forest swallowed up by the night does not seem to have fallen asleep.

The light from the colorful neon lights in the distance transcends the limitations of physical distance and flickers and changes in the night.

After driving for some distance, the car stopped at an intersection with a red light.

So Beiyuan Zhengyu raised his hand and turned on the car radio, then turned down the volume a little and took the initiative to start a conversation, "The first semester of the first year of high school is about to end. What are your plans for the upcoming vacation?"

Kitanen Masahiro no longer worries about the relationship between his daughter and Kitagawa Che.

The scenes at the dining table and in the living room just now had clearly told him that the relationship between the two young people was very good in private.

Compared to the previous situation where they were deliberately keeping a distance from each other, their relationship now has made a qualitative leap.

And just as Risa said, at this time, what he should do is not to ask or interfere, but to let go, let it develop freely, and just trust Rinone.

"No."

Beichuan Che shook his head. He didn't have a definite plan for the vacation yet.

In his opinion, his vacation is actually not much different from the Saturdays and weekends in the past. He should do morning exercises when he should do morning exercises, study when he should study, and everything should proceed step by step.

"Where are Myo and Rinone?"

Beiyuan Zhengyu raised his head and his eyes fell on the rearview mirror inside the car.

Through the mirror, he looked at Ejima Tadashi and Kitaen Rin who were sitting in the back row.

"As for me, follow the young master's pace."

Ejima Myo thought about it and said this.

Her life had always been like this.

Hearing this, Kitaen Masahiro nodded in understanding. He was not surprised by this answer, but felt it was reasonable. After all, that was Ejima Tadashi's personality.

"That……"
