Natsume Takashi's Youth Love Song

"Well, as for the ingredients, they've basically been bought. As for the rest, shall we go buy some snacks?"

After thinking about it for a while, Natsume showed a slightly excited expression.

After all, he is still just a child, and as a child, there is nothing he doesn't like about snacks. But due to financial reasons, he had no way to enjoy snacks before.

But now, there is no such worry.

Snacks and the like are still fine.

"Do you want to buy snacks?"

When Lingzi heard this, her eyes lit up instantly, and then she felt a little embarrassed, "Well, does it need to be so rich?"

Because in Lingzi's opinion, the so-called New Year's celebration is not so sumptuous, right?

"It's just today."

Natsume, who knew what Reiko meant, immediately explained, "It's impossible to be like this every day. Besides, I need to celebrate having made a friend like Sawamura."

"Well, it's your money anyway, what else can I say?"

Seeing that Natsume had said so, why should Reiko hesitate? It wasn't her who spent the money anyway, she was just a person who ate.

"Let's go to the supermarket."

Natsume smiled.

The two of them first put the vegetables they bought at the restaurant where Natsume worked, and then they walked towards the supermarket.

On the way to the supermarket.

"By the way, Natsume, there is something I want to ask you."

Thinking of what she had just seen, Reiko couldn't help but look at Natsume. There was a question that she had been hesitating about for a while.

"Just ask."

Natsume smiled and motioned for Reiko to ask casually.

"Natsume, you no longer need to work to earn money, so why haven't you left the restaurant? Or are you still working part-time?"

Reiko asked about something that she was curious about, something she didn't understand.

"Because the boss helped me so much at that time, I want to continue working here."

In response to Reiko's doubts, Natsume immediately explained, "Besides, I don't want to live off my savings, so I plan to work here forever, unless I really don't have time."

"So that's it."

After hearing Natsume's explanation, Reiko nodded to show that she understood.

Coincidentally, the two of them had arrived at the door of the supermarket at this time.

"Come on, let's go shopping."

Natsume pushed a cart and said to Reiko with a smile.

"Can I pick out my own snacks, too?"

Reiko looked at Natsume with bright eyes.

"Of course, feel free to take anything you want to eat."

Natsume nodded and said.

"Since you put it that way, I won't be polite."

Seeing this, Lingzi also smiled and ran quickly into the supermarket.

But when they really got into the supermarket, although Lingzi said you're welcome, in fact, she didn't take anything randomly. She only took some snacks that interested her.

Of course, her so-called interest was just because she saw others eating it, so she wanted to try it.

If it were just her, she would definitely not know what to take.

An hour later...

Although Natsume and Reiko were both very restrained, there were still too many snacks that they had never seen or eaten before.

Look, even if you only took some selectively, you soon got a whole cart of snacks.

"I think that's enough words."

Looking at the cart full of snacks, Lingzi blushed slightly. She didn't expect that she took so many.

"Then let's go check out."

Natsume nodded and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

I can only say that he is really rich.

Chapter 74 Blushing and Shyness

When checking out, looking at the cart and the staggering prices, Reiko couldn't help but sigh. Natsume was once a poor man like her, but he had changed so much in an instant.

The other party didn't even blink when paying for these snacks worth tens of thousands of yen.

But Reiko didn't think there was anything wrong with this situation. After all, this was all achieved by Natsume through his own efforts.

After buying food and snacks, Natsume and Reiko went to Natsume's cabin with their bags.

"Luckily you came to help me, Lingzi. Otherwise, I really don't know how to take these things back."

Natsume said with a smile.

"Haha, I really regret it now."

But Lingzi couldn't help but complain at this moment.

"If I had known I would have to carry so many things, I would have suppressed my nervousness and gone to look for Sayuri."

"Hehe, now it's too late even if you regret it."

Natsume said with a grin.

"I'm just complaining."

Reiko curled her lips.

After all, she was just saying it, and she really didn't regret it in her heart.

It took half an hour to return to Natsume's house and put the ingredients into the refrigerator. Then, Natsume and Reiko went to Sayuri's house together.

In front of the old house of the Sawamura family, Natsume came here under the guidance of Reiko, and then, staring blankly at the slightly magnificent old house in front of him, Natsume stood there.

"Isn't this too big?"

Looking at the house in front of him, Natsume was stunned. Although he knew that Sayuri's family was very rich, he was still a little shocked that they were so rich.

"Hehehe, when I first saw it, I had the same expression as you."

Reiko looked at Natsume's expression and immediately smiled. So, she couldn't be the only one who was embarrassed. Now that Natsume was also embarrassed, she felt happy.

"Okay, let's go over there, shall we?"

Natsume said to Reiko beside him.

"OK, go ahead."

Reiko nodded, indicating that she would support you here.

"stare!!!"

However, Natsume just looked at Reiko and said nothing else, with an expression that said, "You can do whatever you want."

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Reiko looked at Natsume strangely, not quite understanding it.

"Of course we went together. Do you still want me to go alone?"

Natsume widened his eyes and looked at Reiko in front of him in disbelief.

"This one……"

Reiko hesitated for a moment when asked by Natsume. If it was embarrassing, wouldn't it be fine for Natsume to go alone? Why did he bring her along?

"Don't hesitate, Reiko."

Natsume looked at Reiko, who was obviously hesitant and looked very hesitant. How could he not know what the other person was thinking?

Without giving the other party a chance to refuse, Natsume walked up to Reiko, grabbed her hand, and walked towards the gate of Sawamura's house.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

After seeing Natsume's actions, Reiko was instantly frightened, especially after feeling the warmth from Natsume's hand, her face turned red with embarrassment.

"Natsume, please let me go. I won't run away."

Reiko quickly made the promise.

After all, the way things were now, she was really a little too close to Natsume, wasn't she? She really couldn't bear it, okay?

"Really?"

Natsume reacted and realized what he had done. Although he subconsciously wanted to let go of Reiko's hand, he thought that this was too embarrassing, so he reluctantly held on.

"of course it's true."

Reiko had no idea what Natsume was thinking, so she nodded quickly.

Anyway, what she wanted to do now was to quickly pull her hand out of Natsume's hand.

"Then I'll trust you for now."

Natsume, who had been looking for an opportunity to let go of Reiko's hand, naturally let go of Reiko's hand immediately after hearing this.

I don’t know why, but the moment Natsume let go of Reiko’s hand, he felt a sense of loss in his heart?

At this time, Reiko just felt her face blushing, and... without the warmth in Natsume's hands?

"Natsume's hand... is a little warm? Although it's not very soft, it gives people a sense of security?"

Such a thought also flashed through Lingzi's mind.

Natsume and Reiko stood at the door of Sawamura's house for more than a minute before they reacted and started knocking on the door.

"Who?"

After hearing the knock on the door, the housekeeper of the Sawamura family came to the door and looked at Natsume and Reiko, confirming that they were people he didn't know.

"This is the Sawamura household. May I ask who you are looking for?"

The old butler asked politely, without any disdain for Natsume and Reiko because they were teenagers.

“Poke, poke, poke.”

Reiko stretched out her hand and poked Natsume beside her, signaling him to speak quickly, because she didn't dare to say anything anyway.

"..."

Natsume glanced at Reiko speechlessly. He didn't expect that this guy would be so cowardly in such a situation?

But what else could he say? After all, he was also a boy, so naturally he had to stand in front.

"Hello, I'm Natsume Takashi, and this is Natsume Reiko. We're classmates of Sayuri Sawamura. This time we're here to look for Sawamura. Could you help us call him?"

Natsume asked the other party politely.

"My lady's classmate?"

After hearing Natsume's self-introduction, the old housekeeper smiled and invited Natsume and Reiko to come in. "Since you are Miss's friends, please come in. I will go and call Miss."

"excuse me."

Seeing this, Natsume and Reiko also acted very politely.

After a few minutes……

"Tap tap tap!!!"

Rapid footsteps sounded.
