Tokyo Love Story

She tilted her head and looked at Beichuan Che.

"Okay." Beichuan Che nodded, stood up, and planned to go to the front desk to settle the bill. Last time, it was Renshinno Xun who treated them, so this time he should pay for it. "Then I'll go and..."

"I've already bought the bill. Maybe next time, Kitagawa." Shen Ye Xun smiled and interrupted Kitagawa Che's speech. Then he took out a silver card from his suit jacket pocket. "Here, this is it. Whenever I come to the store, they will default to charging the bill to this card."

"Well, I should go too." She put away the cards and picked up her briefcase. "If the sale goes well, we may meet again."

"Then let me treat you then."

Beichuan Che raised his eyebrows and looked at Shenye Xun, her face reflected in his eyes.

Beichuan Che didn't think he had the nerve to let her pay for meetings like this.

Kaoru Kamino smiled and nodded. She understood what he meant.

"Be careful on your way home, Beichuan."

After reminding Kitagawa Che again, Kanno Fumio stood up and waved at Kitagawa Che.

"I know."

Beichuan Che nodded, feeling somewhat amused.

He didn't know what to say in response to such caring words.

"So,

"Goodbye."

After saying goodbye, Kaoru Kamino, carrying his briefcase, turned around and left the coffee shop in a very casual manner.

Only after Kamiya Kaoru's figure disappeared from his sight did Kitagawa Che slowly lower his head and pack up his things.

It's time for him to go home.

After putting the brown paper bag and the book into his shoulder bag and putting it on his back, Beichuan Che turned his eyebrows away and unconsciously looked out the glass window of the coffee shop.

On the street across the window, a familiar figure caught his eye.

As luck would have it, the other party was also looking over here with his eyebrows raised.

Tsugumi Seina!?

Please give me some recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, etc. (stretch out your hand)

And I have some things to do today, so there is only one update.

Chapter 13 I and my childhood friend, the maid, and the young lady were in the prime of their lives.

Maozhi

Kitagawa Che never thought that the saying "We meet each other all the time" could be applied here, and he never thought that the first words he said to his neighbor Tsuchiya Seina when he came out of the coffee shop would be these.

"Beichuan, are you planning to go home?"

Outside the coffee shop, Tsugumi Serina looked Kitagawa Che up and down carefully. After noticing the shoulder bag he was carrying, a thoughtful look flashed across her eyes.

She was also familiar with the seat where Kitagawa Che sat in the coffee shop. It was one of the seats rented by Baiyuanchuan Library, specially used for communication between editors and authors.

Just now, she seemed to have caught a glimpse of Kaoru Kamino coming out of the coffee shop.

The situation becomes clear at a glance.

"Ah."

He nodded in the affirmative.

In the past, Beichuan Che might have considered hanging out around here for a while, but the closer it got to the end of the month, the less he wanted to waste time outside. On the one hand, the skill level on the learning panel needed to be improved, and on the other hand, compared to hanging out outside alone, he would rather stay at home.

"I just happen to be going home too, how about coming together?"

Tsugumi Seina looked at Kitagawa Che. She had been worrying about how to repay the favor of that meal and that treatment. What's more, she had a request that was difficult to say but had never found the opportunity. Now there was a ready-made opportunity in front of her, and she didn't want to miss it.

"sure."

"Wait for me for a moment, then?" Tsugumi Seina took out the car keys from her windbreaker pocket and pointed to a parking lot sign not far away. "I'll go drive the car up."

After she finished speaking, she didn't give Beichuan Che a chance to speak. She handed the handbag in her hand to him, said "Help me hold it", and walked quickly towards the parking lot.

Three minutes later, a silver sports car slid up to Beichuan Che and stopped. The roc with its wings spread out on the logo on the front of the car was particularly eye-catching.

The passenger window rolled down, the door unlocked, and Seirinai Tsuchiya, who was sitting in the driver's seat, called out to Kitagawa Tetsu, "Get in, Kitagawa."

Looking at Tsugumi Serina in the car, a hint of surprise flashed across Kitagawa Che's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal, nodded, opened the door, and got in the car.

After he fastened his seat belt, Tsugumi Seina gently stepped on the accelerator, and the silver Aston Martin drove into the traffic and merged into the main road.

Beichuan Che, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head and looked out the window.

The receding street scene was reflected in his eyes.

At this moment, the city has not really entered the evening rush hour. The traffic in the lanes is not dense, and the pedestrians on both sides of the street are not in a hurry. Most of them are energetic boys and girls. Through the car window and at a distance, he can only see their mouths moving, but cannot hear clearly what they are saying.

The only thing I could hear was probably the radio music playing in the car, but at a very low volume.

The afternoon sun swept across the city skyline, refracting down to the ground through the reflective exterior glass of the building.

Beichuan Che withdrew his gaze and raised his hand to block the dazzling sunlight.

After slowing down the car a bit, Tsugumi Seina glanced at Kitagawa Che who was looking out the window, and naturally started the conversation, "By the way, Kitagawa, are you going to submit your manuscript to the Kashiwagengawa Library?"

"How did you know?"

Kitagawa Che turned his head and looked at Tsugumi Seina with some confusion.

"I kind of know Kaoru Kamino."

Tsugumi Seina gave such an ambiguous answer.

"So we know each other?"

The doubt in Beichuan Che's tone became even stronger.

"Due to some special reasons, I have to go to Kashiwagengawa Library regularly, and this trip has been going on for a year." Tsugumi Seina shrugged, put her hands on the steering wheel, and there was an obvious fatigue on her face. "No matter how strange we are, seeing each other often is considered to be acquaintance."

"This special reason, isn't it because of work?"

Beichuan Che couldn't help but ask.

"You guessed it right, because of a girl who makes people worry."

Tsugumi Seirina sighed and didn't elaborate further.

Firstly, it was inappropriate, and secondly, she didn't want to complain too much to Beichuan Che, as that would not be good.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Beichuan Che hesitated for a moment and uttered these three words.

He couldn't say much about this matter.

The car slowly slowed down and stopped in front of the intersection. In the distance, the countdown for the red light on the traffic indicator light was still long.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. It gives me a headache just talking about it." Tsugumi Seina raised her hand and rubbed her temple. Just mentioning this topic made her feel a headache. She turned her head and looked at Kitagawa Che with interest, her beautiful eyes full of curiosity, "What about you? How was the result of this submission?"

"It's not bad, right?" Beichuan Che thought about it. He didn't intend to hide it, but he didn't plan to tell everyone about it. "The result is good."

"Then you should be the second high school student author of the Kashiwayan Library. Congratulations." Tsugumi Seina paused and changed the subject, "But school is about to start, so the follow-up time may be a bit tight."

"It's not a big deal, since I've already finished writing this book." Beichuan Che smiled, but there was a hint of relief in his eyes. "There's no deadline, so it couldn't be easier."

"That's the best. At least I don't have to worry about the editor coming to my house to ask for my manuscript."

The red light turned green, and Tsugumi Seina slowly stepped on the accelerator.

"By the way, this time I went to the Baiyuanchuan Library, and they recommended a new book that was about to be released to me. They also gave me a copy, which is the one in my bag. It seems to be called "Hear the Wind Sing"."

Speaking of this, there was a hint of anticipation on Tsugumi Seina's face.

The person who recommended this book was none other than the female student who had given her a headache.

Although the latter's temperament is rather "strange", every book he recommends is quite good. He even took the initiative to contact a well-known author of the Baiyuanchuan Library and asked him to write a recommendation for the jacket of this new book.

"Sister Tsugumi Makoto, are you planning to watch it when you get back later?"

Beichuan Che turned his head, and the subtle expression on his face was reflected on the car window.

He suddenly remembered that the synonym for "Life is full of people, we will meet each other sooner or later" is - It's a small world.

"Hmm." Tsugumi Seina nodded, as if she remembered something, and added sincerely, "When your book is released, remember to tell me, and I'll go and show some support."

"it is good."

Beichuan Che's expression became even stranger. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond next.

At this time, he can't say, you have already supported it.

Just thinking about it made him feel very complicated.

"Speaking of which, Kitagawa, do you usually read novels? If so, what kind do you read?" Tsuchiya Seina paused, "Personally, my taste is quite broad, I will read all kinds of novels."

"I don't usually read a lot, but as for the types of novels I read..." Beichuan Che weighed the pros and cons and decided to change the subject. If he continued with the previous topic, he really didn't know how to continue. "I read more period novels."

"Period novels?" A series of keywords emerged in Tsugumi Seina's mind, such as ronin, bamboo hat, swordsman, ninja, etc. She didn't read many novels in this area. Compared with this type of subject matter, she still prefers mystery and novels. She tilted her head and asked curiously, "For example?"

"I was with my childhood friend, the maid, and the young lady when we were in our prime."

Kitagawa Che answered without changing his expression.

Japan's period novels focus on writing new stories with ancient times as the background. The protagonists include swordsmen who practice kendo, elusive ninjas, and ordinary civilians, which are similar to many martial arts novels he had read before traveling through time.

If he answers this question, there won’t be any big problem.

It’s just that the name is quite intimidating. At first glance, no one would think of this name as "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

"Huh?" Tsugumi Seina's expression suddenly became complicated, "Kitagawa, are you sure this is a period novel?"

"Yes."

Beichuan Che nodded. How come "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" is not a martial arts novel? He just changed the name and twisted out all the attributes of the heroine in the story and made a welcome rearrangement.

"I don't think I've heard of it."

Tsugumi Seina controlled her wording and expressed her doubts in a tactful way.

If someone else had told her that a book with such a title was a period novel, she would have expressed her disbelief long ago. However, the person who said this was Beichuan Che, and the expression on his face was extremely certain, without any sign of unconfidence at all. This made her a little insecure. Was it because of her ignorance that she really had never read it?

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it." Beichuan Che lowered his eyebrows, and his voice unconsciously became a little deeper. "This book was written by an old gentleman on the other side. It is quite wonderful, but up to now, it has not been introduced. There is only a Chinese version."

But in this world, that old gentleman does not exist, and those works exist only in his memory.

"I see."

Tsugumi Seina nodded as if she understood, then lightly pressed the brakes and the car gradually slowed down.

They have returned to the residential area of ​​Bunkyo Ward.

"Sister Tsugumi Makoto, is there anything wrong with your foot?"

Beichuan Che remembered this incident. Just now outside the Magic Coffee Shop, he noticed the way she walked, and it seemed that she had basically recovered.

But to be on the safe side, he decided to ask again to confirm.

Even if he is just a barefoot doctor, he has to be responsible for the "patients" who believe in him.

"No, I have to thank you for this. If it weren't for you, I might not be well now."

Tsugumi Seina thanked him gratefully.

"No, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to confirm. If you still feel a little uncomfortable, I'll help you again. If it doesn't work, go to the hospital as soon as possible."

"Oh, he's recovered. He can jump around and do anything, except..."

Tsugumi Seina seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong? Just tell me if you have any questions."

Kitagawa Che didn't think too much about it. He just thought that Tsuchiya Serina's ankle still felt a little painful or something.

The car stopped in front of Beichuan's house.

After unbuckling her seat belt, Tsugumi Seina turned her head and met Kitagawa Tetsu's gaze.

As we all know, if strangers of both sexes look at each other for more than seven seconds, it means that they either have a grudge against each other or they have feelings for each other.

After taking several deep breaths, she finally mustered up the courage to speak out the difficult request, "Can I eat with you guys from now on?"
