In the anime, who is not a childhood sweetheart?

"You're joking! You're so famous, it's hard not to know. Congratulations on winning the gold medal at the Chopin International Piano Competition some time ago!"

After knowing the other party's name and general background, Yuan Qianye had his own judgment about the black exclamation mark that appeared above her head.

This can be inferred based on what she said before, that her daughter is about the same age as her.

Ms. Touma Yoko, who appeared in the meme-making White Album 2, probably hasn't realized the illness in her body yet!

Qian Ye couldn't remember exactly what disease she had, but since everyone knew what happened to her later, it would be better to remind her to go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible.

But the new problem now is how to remind her.

If he had just told her that she was sick and needed to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up, it would have been considered good manners if Touma Yoko hadn't scolded him on the spot.

When Gen Chiye was in distress, Touma Yoko took the initiative to ask about Junko's mother.

Yuan Qianye's eyes lit up and he had an idea.

"Mom is fine. It's my dad who's in the hospital, so Mom has to stay with him and take care of him. Luckily, my dad went to the hospital in time and is receiving treatment now. He's recovering and will be fine."

"That's really a blessing in disguise."

Gen Chiye's words were vague, but when Touma Yoko heard them, she understood it as her father having some difficult-to-cure disease that was discovered in the early stages, and then received immediate treatment, and is now out of danger.

"Yes, we are indeed very lucky. After this incident, our whole family has unanimously decided to have a thorough physical examination every year. After all, health is more important than anything else.

After all, if a person contracts an incurable disease, not only will he suffer, but his family will also suffer the same or even greater sadness.

Ms. Dongma, you are such an amazing person, your future life will only become more and more exciting. Please take good care of yourself. After all, you have fame, fortune and money. Now the only thing you need to pay attention to is your health.

In fact, what Yuan Qianye said after the middle was already a bit presumptuous.

Although it was well-intentioned, Touma Yoko still felt a little uncomfortable listening to it.

The implication of this handsome young man's words seemed to be that he was hinting that she had some disease.

How can you chat with customers like this?

However, Touma Yoko changed her mind and thought that he was just a little kid and his father had just experienced that kind of thing.

Now that she thought about it, her mood must have been very up and down. This was probably just a careless expression of his concern, with no ill intentions, so she didn't take it to heart.

Fortunately, he didn't bring up the topic again afterwards. After blowing Touma Yoko's hair, he gave her a relaxing shoulder and neck massage with her permission.

Before leaving, Yuan Qianye suddenly asked, "Ms. Dongma, are you here alone?"

Touma Yoko replied in confusion: "Well, what's the problem?"

"No problem, but I noticed that after you entered the store, two people in the coffee shop across the street have been observing us. It seems that they came here for you."

He also described the two people's specific clothing and general appearance, and his face showed just the right amount of worry.

Touma Yoko looked at him deeply, then suddenly smiled and said, "They're probably just bored reporters. Thank you for your reminder. I'll pay attention."

"Okay, walk slowly."

Touma Yoko walked out of the store and crossed the overpass to the other side of the street.

Halfway across the overpass, she stopped and leaned over the rooftop fence to look back.

Yuan Qianye had already locked the shop door and was walking towards the tram station.

Touma Yoko stared at him until he disappeared from her sight, then continued walking forward, entered the cafe he had just mentioned, and sat in front of the two people she had just guessed were reporters.

"Boss, you're done."

Touma Yoko just nodded slightly in response to her employee's greeting.

She looked across the street, and the two employees followed her gaze.

She suddenly asked out of nowhere, "Can you clearly see the specific features of the people walking across the street?"

Both of them shook their heads.

She couldn't see Touma Yoko clearly either.

The road has a total of six lanes spanning from east to west, with flower beds and green plants separating the two sides. The distance between the two sides of the road is very far, not to mention that it is night time and the vision will be greatly affected.

The boy was serving me from beginning to end, and I didn't see him looking across the street with any tools.

So is it really just because he has good eyesight and amazing insight?

After much thought, Touma Yoko seemed to be able to come to only this conclusion.

The next night, Touma Yoko returned home after attending a cocktail party.

My daughter at home is still practicing the piano. I can hear dreamy piano sounds flowing out from the practice room with the door not closed tightly.

She leaned back on the sofa, closed her eyes and enjoyed her daughter's performance.

"Buzzing."

The phone vibrated, and the assistant sent the schedule for the next trip.

Looking at the item listed above as "routine health check-up", Touma Yoko suddenly thought of the boy who left a deep impression on her yesterday.

His words rang in my ears again -

"If a person contracts an incurable disease, not only will he suffer, but his family will also suffer the same or even greater sorrow."

Family?

As for Kazusa, she is the only one left in the family.

Pinching her philtrum to dispel the drunkenness, Touma Yoko dialed the number.

"President."

"Regarding next week's physical examination, please switch it to the most detailed full-body examination. I'll go with Kazusa then."

"understood."

045: I can’t possibly find someone…huh?

At around five o'clock on Saturday afternoon, Gen Qianye and the sisters Kotori walked out of the house. They planned to go out for dinner today.

There was no way. Although Touka Takanashi had just made the decision to live frugally, her sister's test scores this time unexpectedly jumped up by more than 30 places in the grade ranking.

This was something her mother had agreed with her before. If her grades could improve by more than 20 places, she would take her out for a meal.

Now that she has exceeded her goal, Touka, as her older sister, naturally has to fulfill her mother's promise.

You can't go back on your word just because of a meal. That will not only make Liuhua lose the motivation to be proactive, but it will also likely affect the establishment of her integrity.

Of course, it would be better if such words did not come from her own mouth.

When did this silly little sister Rikka become so eloquent?

When he asked me to fulfill my promise, as soon as I saw hesitation on my face, my little mouth started to spout a series of irrefutable words.

Is it true that because he has been with Qianye for a long time, his brain has finally become sharper?

But anyway, it's a good thing.

But before going to dinner, the three of them had to stop by the bar where their father worked.

Something unexpected happened to Minamoto Sanada and he couldn't come to work for a short period of time. Although this was force majeure, it did cause trouble to his colleagues.

So he asked his son to buy some food and bring it to the store for everyone when he went out to eat today, as an apology for the trouble he had caused to everyone.

When it comes to interpersonal relationships, Japanese people always consider things carefully and pay attention to details, even in seemingly casual aspects.

This kind of thing seems to be a good thing, everyone considers each other and respects each other.

But Yuan Qianye didn't like it very much, because he was too cautious, so he lost the casual feeling of getting along with others frankly.

This is true in all aspects of society. If a person is cautious in his words and actions for a long time, he will inevitably feel a lot of pressure and his life will be very tiring.

However, Yuan Qianye didn't think of saying this to his father. This was a social atmosphere deeply rooted in Japan from top to bottom. He couldn't change anything by himself. He just had to do his best.

Relying on Google Maps, Yuan Qianye arrived at the door of the bar and stood still. He turned around and said to the Kotori sisters, "Just stand here and don't move. I'll be back soon."

Shihua's slogan of living frugally is not just casual talk.

The small cake in his hand was made in his own oven.

I also bought affordable wrapping paper and wrapped the outer gift box myself.

In general, it is at least half cheaper than buying finished products outside.

Liuhua was dissatisfied and curious: "Let me go in with you, I haven't seen where my father works yet."

Shihua held her shoulders tightly and said, "What's so interesting about a drinking place? Just wait here with me."

The father's workplace knew the details of his accident, and the sister was afraid that if her younger sister went in, others would accidentally let the cat out of the bag.

Yuan Qianye walked into the store.

Under Touka's watchful eye, Rika kicked stones on the roadside out of boredom.

----

The manager of the "Yuan" bar stood at the bar, looking at the scattered tables of guests in the store and sighed melancholy.

Something happened to that old man Minamoto Sanada and he couldn't come to work, so the number of customers in his store was reduced by half.

I thought there would be an impact, but I didn’t expect it to be so big!

When he opened this bar, he had already thought about the main customer group.

Office ladies who are busy with work and need to relax and vent, single women who are older and long for care, wives who are lonely and lack companionship... and so on.

The bar's interior is warm and fresh, with green radishes hanging on the walls and furry cartoon dolls placed on the sofa booths. Smoking is prohibited, and with a minimum purchase, a dedicated car service is available to deliver your meal to your door, capturing the hearts of mature women. The bar's main goal is to provide a caring and attentive service that makes guests feel at home.

Therefore, when the store was recruiting waiters and bartenders, the store manager, who used to be a manager of a public relations club, also had his own set of interview standards!

Mainly serving female customers, the first and foremost requirement is naturally to meet one requirement: handsome!

The old guy Minamoto Sanada is very handsome. Nowadays, most men in this society gain weight and lose hair after getting married, and basically become more and more oily.

But he is different. Age has not diminished his handsomeness. Instead, he is like a jar of old wine, becoming more and more flavorful!

Although Minamoto himself is not very talkative, he has become the shop's signature character simply by standing behind the bar, listening to customers talk about their troubles and occasionally offering a soothing word. He attracts many female customers who don't care about the cost at all when they spend money!

As a result, his absence made those regular customers who came specifically for him feel disappointed.

Although there are three other bartenders in the store who are decent looking, how should I put it… not only are their hardware not as good as the others, they also look a bit greasy and artificial, and are completely useless.

The current situation is not optimistic.

Gen Sanada's "signature dish" has been quiet for the time being, as other businesses are taking advantage of the situation to grab business.

The bar called "Little Song" on the same street also hired a female junior high school student as a bartender from nowhere.

Her cocktail-making skills are very high, and word of mouth has spread among the guests. Many people are curious and come to check in.

This isn't a solution...

Could it be that the business idea of targeting female customers was wrong from the beginning?

Is it too late to transform now?

I can't just go find a junior high student to come and mix up the bar, right?

The bar owner was feeling melancholy. Business was bad and the bar was starting to go downhill, so it was inevitable that he had some wild thoughts.

At this time, the door of the bar was pushed open and Yuan Qianye walked in.

The only three female customers in the bar seemed to have their eyes drawn to him by something invisible, and they couldn't take their eyes off him at all!

Yuan Qianye came to the bar and politely said to the store manager, "Hello, I am the son of Yuan Sanada. My father suddenly took a long vacation and I am sorry to trouble you all. These are some cakes we made ourselves. If you don't mind, please accept them."

The store manager took the cake and subconsciously thanked him, his eyes fixed on the handsome Yuan Qianye: "Are you Sanada-san's son?"

"Yes."

“…” The store manager looked at him and said nothing more. It was unknown what he was thinking.

"I won't disturb you guys from working..."

Yuan Qianye completed his father's instructions, but was also unnerved by the store manager's inexplicable gaze.
