The living room is indeed like a hotel... It is simple and tidy to an excessive degree. You won't see clothes and other sundries that might be randomly placed in an ordinary person's home. If it were used as a model room, you wouldn't be able to tell at first glance that anyone has lived there.
Xianjuan Wei carried the cake and placed it on the dining table. After a while, Su Shi, wearing gloves, came out of the kitchen carrying a large bowl of stew.
Putting the stew a short distance away from the cake, Su Shi sat on the dining chair with a complicated look in her eyes:
"I was supposed to celebrate my mom's birthday today, and I even made her favorite stew..."
"But now, there's no need."
"Mom isn't coming home today, so... let's get it over with."
Chapter 82 Humiliating Treaty
Although Nagasaki Sushi's cooking skills are good and the stews with a lighter flavor are delicious, but...
Putting stew and cream birthday cake on the same table always gives a strange feeling of dark cuisine.
Nagasaki Suyo fiddled with her phone, looking at the photo of the cake she had just taken, and sighed:
"Although I am very grateful for the surprise that Wei-san prepared, if Wei-san had explained it more clearly when she called me just now, I should have dressed more carefully..."
Xianjuan Weiyi picked up some stew from his bowl with his chopsticks and replied:
"It's okay. Next time for your birthday, Su Shi-san can prepare something more grand..."
"After all, I've been exposed. Next time, I won't be able to pretend I didn't know and surprise Sushi-san."
"Shh... Sorry, I forgot that Su Shi just said that she was supposed to celebrate her birthday with her mother today. If I come again on this day next year, I won't disturb Su Shi and Auntie, right?"
"If I become the third person between Sushi-san and Auntie, it will be counterproductive."
Su Shi put down her chopsticks and supported half of her face with the back of her right hand:
"Next year..."
"Haha, classmate Wei really thinks far ahead..."
"Then, Su Shi, are you willing to let me spend next year with you as a friend? If it is something I promised, I will definitely do it." Xian Juanwei looked at Su Shi seriously, and there was determination in his calm voice.
Looking at the boy in front of her who had spent the whole day preparing a birthday surprise for her and was about to make a promise, Su Shi seemed to suddenly see a figure with blue twintails.
They were all the same consortium scions, and when they made promises, they all made people want to believe in their determination and ability...
At that time, Xiaoxiang must have believed in the future he could lead everyone forward, so he said something like, "From now on, we are a community with a shared destiny, playing music together."
But what is the final result?
Su Shi looked at the boy with a serious look across the table, slowly shook her head, but at the same time smiled.
"Do not."
"Hmm?" Xian Juanwei tilted his head slightly in confusion at Su Shi's reaction.
Su Shi folded his hands together, his eyes slightly cold under the light of the restaurant, and he spoke slowly, almost word by word:
"Don't talk about things that are so far away, and don't make promises that you'll have to wait for a long time."
"I don't dare to expect anything easily anymore."
“We may not even be able to grasp our present moment, so don’t rashly say words like always, forever, or a lifetime. Even a year seems too long…”
Xian Juan Wei met Su Shi's gaze and nodded seriously after a moment:
"I understand. The longer a relationship lasts, the harder it is to build trust."
"Well, let's start with something easier. - Sushi-san, are you free this Saturday?"
Su Shi's eyes flashed with doubt: "Huh?"
"Saturday... I shouldn't have anything to do. Does Wei have any plans?"
As soon as she said that, Su Shi regretted it when she saw the stew on the table - her mother had just said on the phone today that she would ask for leave from the board of directors after the inspection was over, and if nothing unexpected happened, she would probably choose to come back on a weekend.
"Then, as we agreed before, let's go to the amusement park together this Saturday?"
Without waiting for Su Shi to change his mind, Xian Juanwei extended the invitation.
“…” Su Shi hesitated to speak.
After waiting for a few seconds and not getting a clear answer from Su Shi, Xian Juan Wei asked, "Is this embarrassing for Su Shi? Then, how about another time? Or does Su Shi have another idea?"
Su Shi struggled with himself internally for a while before finally turning his head slightly and speaking in a low voice:
"I didn't say I wouldn't go."
I should tell my mom about my appointment with friends on Saturday, so that she doesn’t waste a precious day of rest on Saturday...
"Well, luckily, it turned out well in the end. It seems all my hard work yesterday afternoon learning the craft was worth it."
The reel is like a heavy burden being released.
"Eh? Oh... yeah, did Wei learn the skill of baking cakes yesterday afternoon?"
As Su Shi recalled the conversation they had in the DIY shop tonight, Xianjuan Wei's words, "I learned it yesterday for today's cake," kept turning over in her mind.
At the time, I thought Wei was learning how to make cakes to welcome his sister's band, but now that the truth has been revealed, the reason he deliberately learned the craft is obviously...
Su Shi suppressed the thoughts that emerged in his mind to prevent them from coming out.
"Well, the price of learning this craft is really high, and a very humiliating treaty was signed." Xian Juanwei closed his eyes, as if recalling a past that he could not bear to look back on.
"!"
The chair under Su Shi suddenly slid on the floor, obviously because its owner had just suffered a great impact.
"Isn't Wei the heir of the Genjumaki family? How could it be possible that someone would?"
Su Shi had an expression of disbelief on his face, and even his words were a little halting.
"It's a very painful memory."
Xian Juanwei put his hands together.
"In order to learn the delicious cake making skills of Yamabuki Bakery from Saaya, I was forced to agree to work at Yamabuki Bakery to pay off my debts. It was a humiliating failure."
Xian Juanwei showed a look of compassion for the world.
Ever since the first year of the Bangli calendar, when Kokoro got acquainted with several girls from Popipa, and he had visited Aunt Yamabuki at the hospital and the bakery a few times, it had been a long time since he had shown any specialness in front of this lady who could become my mother-in-law. There was a risk that the hot stove would cool down and turn into a cold one.
After all, the financial conditions of Yamabuki Bakery had improved a lot, and Aunt Yamabuki's health had recovered faster. When the director of the hospital saw that Xin and he went to visit Aunt Yamabuki for a follow-up visit, he quietly used all the hospital's skills to improve the treatment plan.
You can't just say, "Let this lady stay in the hospital longer," right?
It just so happens that I've had nothing to do during the day on weekdays recently. Saaya and her younger siblings are all in school, and Uncle Yamabuki has to make deliveries. I can go every few days. After I feel better, I often check in at Aunt Yamabuki who is in charge of the bakery...
"..."
Su Shi blinked, and after a moment he finally extracted and understood the useful information from Genjumaki Wei's words.
"Is Wei going to learn from someone he knows? You're saying something so easily misunderstood. It's terrifying..."
Su Shi patted the table lightly, and even the light on his face seemed to dim a little.
"Haha, no matter what, the essence of this is that I'm going to work for someone..."
Xian Juanwei smiled, and then his voice became more serious:
"So, Sushi-san, I'm here to claim my reward. Such a humiliating treaty can't belong to me alone."
"Eh?"
This, so fast?
"Actually, I have a movie in the works. I've already found the other actors and the director, but I'm still short of a second female lead... I guess I just need Su Shi-san to play the second female lead herself."
"By the way, the female lead signed is Xiao Mu."
Su Shi was stunned for a moment when he saw Xian Juanwei's look that said "you should be grateful".
"Mr. Wei..."
Then, Su Shi couldn't help but smile.
"That's not much of a reward you're asking of me... I agreed."
"Mr. Sushi, don't you even ask about the subject matter, pay, or schedule?"
"It was Wei who said we need to slowly build trust, so... do I need to ask?"
"Well, then there's no pay. After all, I won't get any other pay for working in a bakery except for stealing bread."
"Hmm...it's okay. If Wei is short on money to make a movie, it's okay to borrow some from me for emergency."
Chapter 83: Su Mu's Fight Across the Air
"Ah, are you really borrowing it, Sushi-kun?"
Xianjuan Wei suddenly realized that he seemed to lack the experience of "borrowing money from others" in his life. Even when he went out without cash when he was a child and didn't want to swipe a card or take cash from the car, he just had to tell the man in black, and in a short while the convenience stores and shopping malls would be his own and he could take cash at will.
Of course, most of the time, the place where you buy things is actually controlled by the leather case company of Xianjuan, which makes people feel boring and completely loses the fun of shopping (referring to buying in stores).
"Of course. How much would you like to borrow, Wei?"
There was a hint of teasing and curiosity in the gentle smile on Su Shi's face. It was quite interesting to discuss seriously something as embarrassing as borrowing money with this friend who probably had no concept of money at all.
"Then, let's borrow one million first."
Xian Juanwei stretched out a finger.
Su Shi chuckled and picked up the bag that she often carried when shopping from a chair beside her.
"Student Wei is really petty."
As she spoke, Su Shi took out a stack of Fukuzawa Yukichi notes with a face value of 10,000 yen from her bag and handed it to the boy in front of her.
"(II) Yulingwu II IV III Qi ([Yin San], can you lend me another 10 million for a meal?" Xian Juanwei, who hadn't cared about the specific amount for a long time, tried to save his dignity.
Su Shi looked up at the direction of the bedroom upstairs and let out a long "hmm":
"Are you sure? Wei, please wait for me to withdraw it. But if I borrow another 100 million, I won't have any cash left."
After saying that, Su Shi narrowed his eyes slightly with a smile, as if waiting for Xian Juanwei to say something like "Sorry, no thanks" to back off.
However, Xian Juanwei clapped his hands directly:
"Thank you so much, Sushi-san! How about the interest?"
Su Shi controlled her facial expression, trying not to show any discomfort:
"Don't talk about interest between friends."
"That's not good. When I was little, if I asked my sister to borrow a lollipop, I would give her two."
"Well... then..."
Su Shi's eyes moved slightly, and after thinking about it, he suddenly changed his original idea, and the smile on his face became brighter:
"I haven't decided yet, but it will definitely not exceed the bank's highest interest rate~"
The two continued to stare at each other for a few seconds before Su Shi stood up and actually went upstairs to look for the small treasury.
Upstairs, Su Shi was sitting on the bed counting the pocket money he had saved, muttering to himself, "How dare this guy borrow money?"
Downstairs, Xianjuan Weiyi was muttering to himself, "Why did Su Shi really give it to me?", while wondering if he lacked understanding of the young ladies of Yuezhisen's view on money.
In his previous life, he had a mediocre income as a worker, and in this life, he entered the stage of "I don't care how much money I have" from the very beginning. His concept of family income in these stages was completely disconnected, and he could only rely on his imagination.
For a true high-level Tsuki no Mori student like Toruko, even 100 million for a friend is nothing, let alone 10 million; but the relationship between family wealth and the disposable income of the Tsuki no Mori ladies themselves depends on the specific situation.
But he was just thinking about it when he was bored while waiting for Su Shi... Asking Su Shi to borrow some money was purely to satisfy his curiosity and make up for the regret of not having experienced things. He could return it to her at any time, and this amount would not affect Su Shi's life.
Xianjuan Wei didn't even know if this was similar to the way a certain couple in their previous life would give each other a few dollars to liven things up before going to bed?
Anyway, I am ready to repay her with my body, which is a few tenths of my hundred pounds. Isn't that enough?
After a while, Su Shi came downstairs and handed a simple small bag to Xianjuan Wei.
"Hey, if you want more, Wei, there's no more!"
Su Shi smiled and sat back in her chair, holding her face with one hand:
"I didn't receive any gifts except a cake for my birthday, and I even had to spend money. I'm so embarrassed."
Seeing the boy in front of him actually counting the bills one by one seriously as if he were a borrower who had found a life-saving straw, Su Shi had to work hard to hold back from laughing.
"Next time I ask Su Shi to borrow something, I will pay it back first. I'll just eat grass for the time being."
Xian Juanwei put away the small bag with a slight aroma and made some slightly explosive remarks.
