Tokyo Love Story

"Ms. Rinone,"

In the kitchen, Ejima Myo, who was cutting vegetables, turned her head and her eyes fell on Kitaen Rin's face.

"what happened?"

Beiyuan Linyin turned down the fire on the stove and turned her head, with a look of confusion on her fair face.

"is that OK?"

Ejima Miu put down the kitchen knife, poured the cut seasonal vegetables into the plate, and then handed it to Kitaen Rin, while asking with a double meaning.

"of course."

Beiyuan Rinyin smiled easily and took the plate.

This is just the beginning.

Chapter 128: Beichuan Family’s Meal (Part 3) [K Medium Chapter]

Under the warm light of the restaurant, dishes with bright colors and fragrant aromas were placed on the table.

Compared with the past, the Kitagawa family's meal today is even more sumptuous.

After Ejima Miu had arranged the bowls and Tsugumi Seirina had distributed the chopsticks, the five people took their seats one by one.

"I'm gonna start now."

After saying this standard pre-meal ritual opening remark, Tsugumi Seina picked up the chopsticks without thinking and picked up a piece of pork chop.

Compared to the deep-fried pork chops in the set pork chop rice you eat outside, Kitagawa's pork chops, or to be more precise, after Kitaen Rin'one came, Kitagawa's pork chops were cooked using a low-temperature aging method that takes more time but has a better taste and more tender texture.

From this perspective, Hitoshi Kitaen Rin had indeed taught her a good lesson, and made her truly feel what it meant to be the top student at Fujiwara Private Academy, not only in terms of academic performance, but also in terms of housework and cooking.

Putting the pork chop into her mouth, Tsugumi Serina closed her eyes, and while chewing, feeling the tenderness of the pork, she showed a rather happy expression.

Every time this happened, she felt that her shameless decision to come to Beichuan Che's place for a free meal was the wisest one.

“How does it taste this time?”

After Kitagawa Che picked up a piece of seasonal vegetables for himself with his chopsticks, he looked at Tsuchiya Seina with some curiosity.

He had already caught a glimpse of a smile on the face of Kitaen Rinyin, who was in charge of this dish.

It has to be said that this neighbor is always able to give the chef of a dish a sense of satisfaction when it comes to meals. When he can still go into the kitchen and show off his skills, Tsuchiya Seina is the old supporting actor. The most important thing is that her role as a supporting actor does not make people feel fake. It can even be said to be quite the opposite. Every one of her comments is quite sincere, the type that makes people unconsciously happy and proud when they hear it.

tasty)!"

Tsugumi Seina opened her eyes and gave a thumbs up with a slurred voice.

"It looks like you've made further progress than last time." Kitagawa Che tilted his eyebrows and gave Kitaen Rin a look of praise that said 'that's great'.

"Miao also helped a lot. It's not just my efforts." Beiyuan Linyin smiled shyly, stood up, picked up the largest pork chop and put it in Beichuan Che's bowl, "Che, try it too."

"Okay." Beichuan Che nodded, lowered his eyebrows, took a bite, and as his teeth bit down, the tender texture of the pork chop burst in his mouth, and the juice and meat aroma surged up.

He finally understood why Tsuchiya Serina looked so enjoying it just now.

After chewing the pork chop for a few times and swallowing it, Beichuan Che gave a fair evaluation, "It's really good. Compared with last time, this time, both the texture and the taste have made a considerable leap forward."

This is no longer something that can be described or indicated by the word "progress", but more like a new look after a complete transformation.

"If you like it, that would be great." Beiyuan Rinyin nodded slightly, then she calmed down a little, her beautiful face turned slightly, her eyes fell on Baiyuan Shizhi's face, she smiled politely, and took the initiative to greet her like a hostess, "Please don't be polite, Baiyuan senior, please try it too."

Kitaen Risa once taught her that the most powerful force is often invisible.

There is no need for verbal sparring or sarcasm. All you need to do is communicate with the 'guest' naturally as a 'hostess'. The attitude and familiarity that you inadvertently reveal are enough to become the sharpest knife.

Moreover, the most crucial point is that such a confrontation does not appear to be so sarcastic and harsh. Everything is clear and obvious in the most ordinary conversation.

Oh, okay. "Kashiwagen Shiori nodded thoughtfully, raised her hand to pick up a pork chop with chopsticks and put it into her bowl, and took the initiative to open the conversation with a natural look, "Speaking of which, can I call you, Junior Sister Beiyuan, Rinyin? Of course, please don't call me Senior Sister anymore, it sounds strange and distant."

Kashiwagen Shiori also understood what Kitaen Rin meant.

Since you want to play this way, I'll accompany you to the end.

You have something else to say, but so do I.

"Of course." Kitaen Rinyin smiled slightly, and the elegant face of Kashiwagen Shiori was reflected in her blue eyes, "Shiori."

"Rin." Kashiwagen Shiori blinked and temporarily put her chopsticks on the bowl. "I wanted to ask you just now, Rin, when did you start learning cooking?"

"How long?" A trace of reminiscence flashed across Beiyuan Linyin's eyes. "My mother started teaching me how to do it when I was in grade four."

The idea that Kitaen Risa instilled in her at that time was nothing else but that if she could cook, she could save herself a lot of trouble and she wouldn't have to eat out every day.

"That's still quite a long time." Baiyuan Shizhi nodded, picked up the pork chop from the bowl and put it into her mouth. After chewing and swallowing the pork chop, she also followed suit and gave a thumbs up to Beiyuan Rinyin, then asked meaningfully, "Speaking of which, is it troublesome to cook for yourself?"

"Trouble? If I cook by myself, I will feel a little boring." Beiyuan Rinyin picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks. Her voice, which was slightly cold in the past, became gentle at this moment. She glanced at Baiyuan Shizhi and answered meaningfully, "But now it is different from before. Now we eat together, so it's okay. The laziness of cooking by myself has been reduced a lot, or rather... I am quite enjoying it."

Hearing this, Kashiwagen Shiori frowned subconsciously. The message implied in Kitaen Rin'in's words made her instinctively feel uncomfortable.

But soon, she suppressed her fluctuating emotions.

Shiori Kashiwagen pretended not to understand and asked, "Is it because the dishes you make are recognized by everyone?"

"Half and half." Beiyuan Linyin considered her words, "On the one hand, it's recognition, and on the other hand, it's purely out of personal preference. After all, taking care of the people you want to take care of is always a sweet thing."

Take care of the people you love willingly and enjoy it.

Baiyuan Shizhi heard the subtext of Kitaen Rin'in, her expression froze, and her emotions became subtle for a moment.

She raised her eyebrows and took the initiative to look at Beiyuan Linyin, and the latter met the former's gaze without flinching.

The eyes of the two people met in the air.

In just a moment, both sides' eyes flashed with a look of unwillingness to back down.

Tsugumi Seina slowed down her eating speed a little. She raised her eyebrows and quietly glanced at the faces of Kitagawa Che, Kitaen Rin and Kashiwagen Shiori, then quickly retracted her gaze.

She seemed to realize something, but she didn't quite know how to put it into words.

After all, to put it bluntly, it is not easy for her, an outsider, to interfere in this kind of matter.

and……

Tsugumi Seirina glanced at Kitagawa Tetsu and sighed in her heart.

Some sinful person simply doesn't realize this.

Since the parties involved didn't realize it, what else could she say? She could only remain silent.

Thinking of this, Tsugumi Seina lowered her eyebrows, picked up another piece of pork chop and roast beef with her chopsticks, stopped thinking about the problems that gave her a headache, and instead buried her head in her work.

"I'm still too lazy on this point." So Kashiwagen Shiori shook her head, a sly look flashing across her eyes, "But can you give me a chance to quibble? I just spent more time on other things, such as extracurricular reading and writing."

"Human energy is limited." Beiyuan Linyin nodded in agreement. She did not poke her sore spot. Instead, she smiled and replied, "Che often mentioned this to me. He said that you, Shiori, helped him a lot in writing."

"In this case, it can't be called one-sided help, right?" Bai Yuan Shizhi slightly emphasized the word "one-sided" and shook her head. "If I have to say it, mutual help might be more appropriate. A Che also gave me a lot of inspiration, such as the new book that will be released soon."

"A new book that's coming out soon?"

Beiyuan Rinyin chewed on these words, and there was some more thought in her blue eyes.

"It's a simple love story." Kashiwagen Shiori paused, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, outlining a bright arc, "In a nutshell, it's a war between a childhood sweetheart and a senior."

Oh." Beiyuan Linyin nodded thoughtfully, "Just like the evening drama a while ago, right?"

"Similar." Kashiwagen Shiori nodded, "but the result is a little different."

"May I ask, what is the ending?"

Kitaen Rin looked at Kashiwagen Shiori, with a hint of amusement between her brows.

"Last time it was the childhood sweetheart who won, this time, it should be the senior's turn, isn't it?"

Kashiwagen Shiori blinked provocatively and said this without changing her expression.

"I can't answer that." Beiyuan Linyin pursed her lips and pretended to be embarrassed. "After all, I personally still like the plot of mutual support."

The next second, she suddenly changed the subject, "But, from my point of view as a viewer, if we really want to be serious about who wins and who loses, besides their own abilities, shouldn't the most important thing be the choice of the male lead?"

The warm light of the restaurant fell on the two of them.

As their eyes met, time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Ejima Myomu silently took a mouthful of rice.

Now, she really believed that everything was under Miss Rinone's control.

Just based on the momentum of remaining unmoved no matter how big the waves are, I have already surpassed Senior Sister Baiyuan by a huge margin.

If we continue at this pace, Senior Sister Baiyuan... will probably be in trouble.

Chapter 129 Reasons

After dinner, Kashiwagen Shiori and Tsuchigumi Seina did not stay long. They worked together to clean up the dishes, then said goodbye and left the Kitagawa family.

Returning to the second bedroom on the second floor of Tsugumi Serina's house, Kashiwagen Shiori turned on the light in the room. With a "click" sound, the originally dark room was instantly illuminated by soft light. She took a look at the open suitcase, sat down on the edge of the bed, took out the clothes in the suitcase, and folded them up slowly.

She came around 4pm or 5pm, so she didn't have much time to pack. The only good thing was that it was summer, so the clothes she brought weren't too many or too thick, so it was relatively easy to fold them.

Boom, boom, boom.

There was a knock on the door, and the next second, Tsugumi Makoto's familiar gentle female voice broke the silence in the room, "Shiori, is this convenient now?"

"Please come in."

Bai Yuan Shiwei's hand stopped folding clothes, then returned to the normal speed.

The door was gently pushed open and Tsugumi Seina walked into the room.

"So you're actually folding clothes?" After finding a suitable place to sit down, Tsugumi Seina looked at Kashiwagen Shiori who was folding clothes with some surprise, "I thought..."

"You still thought?"

Kashiwagen Shiori raised her eyebrows, and the face of Tsuchigumi Seina was reflected in her beautiful eyes.

Well."

Tsugumi Seina's expression instantly became complicated. She was too relaxed and ended up saying something wrong.

When she was at the Kitagawa family, she had already prepared herself mentally that she would ignore everything that happened between Kashiwagen Shiori, Kitagawa Che, and Kitaen Rin and resolutely not see it.

Yes, it is true that she is the teacher of Class A in Grade One, and she also worked part-time as the school's psychologist last school year, but this does not mean that she can casually interfere in students' emotional problems. Matters such as emotions have always been complicated and tangled.

It is troublesome enough to persuade younger students in this regard, not to mention Kitaen Rin and the others who are much more mature than their peers.

She has been in contact with these girls for some time. It is no exaggeration to say that each of them has a very stubborn temper, the classic type who will not turn back even if she hits the mountain.

Just thinking about getting involved in their and his affairs is enough to give people a headache.

"I'm not as fragile as you think, Sister Rina." Kashiwagen Shiori blinked, retracted her gaze, and put the folded clothes aside. "Besides, things like love, no matter what, all depend on the person involved, right?"

Having known Tsugumi Serina for such a long time, how could she not know her other's personality? Naturally, she also knew what she was worried about at this time.

"That's the truth." Tsugumi Seina's expression relaxed, and her hands on her thighs tapped their fingertips unconsciously. "But some things are very difficult." She considered her words, "Efforts may not necessarily be rewarded."

"Then there isn't any." Boyuan Shiori stood up, and looked at Tsugumi Rina with some embarrassment. After seeing the various underwear left in the suitcase, the latter turned around knowingly , looking away, "We don't do many things just because we are sure to be rewarded. This is what Rina-sama taught me back then."

"But..." Tsugumi Seirina was speechless for a moment.

In fact, as an elder sister, her better choice at this time is encouragement rather than stating the facts. The former can make Shiori happier, while the latter inexplicably seems to be a blow to the other party.

But from her point of view, the confrontation at the table just now was very telling.

"It's nothing." Kashiwagen Shiori bent down slightly, reached out and picked up her pile of colorful underwear, then stood up, walked to the closet, opened the door, and put the underwear into the closet that had been cleaned up and left with the sachet. "I went to great lengths for the things I love, so I can be so happy."

All right. "

Tsugumi Seina fell silent. Since Kashiwagen Shiori said so, what else could she say?

"But, speaking of that." Pushing the closet door shut, Kashiwagen Shiori turned her eyebrows and her eyes fell on Tsugumi Makoto Rina's face. She smiled and teased her, "Now I understand why you rarely go out to eat, Rina-san."

"It's right next door, so why go so far?" Tsugumi Seirina didn't feel embarrassed at all, she added as a matter of course, "Besides, I paid for the food."

"Food expenses?"

Kashiwagen Shiori was silent for a moment, and she suddenly realized that she seemed to have underestimated Tsuchiya Seina.
