Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

Zeshan Haruno coughed twice and said with some difficulty: "Don't say these weird things, I still need to seriously retreat in the next few days."

"what"

Seeing Sawayama Haruno's reaction, Miyazawa Maki suddenly felt a little aggrieved.

She whispered, "I'm just thinking about you. I'm worried that you'll get sick from being alone in Kyoto for a week."

"I didn't feel so depressed when I was single before." Zeshan Haruno sighed slightly and said helplessly, "Anyway, you don't have to worry about this kind of thing. Take care of Salmon Maru when you are at home these few days. I don't know what's wrong with that child. He has been very noisy recently."

He seriously suspected that the salmon balls were stimulated by the two of them sticking together.

Because whenever Maki and I are free at home, we are either doing it or doing foreplay. For a poor and helpless little kitten, it must be very upsetting to be exposed to these things, right?

If possible, I hope Maki Miyazawa can play with the little guy for a while longer.

Now that you have found it, you must take responsibility for it.

"Oh--"

On the other end of the phone, Miyazawa Maki responded reluctantly.

The two of them continued to talk on the phone for a while until Morikawa Riho appeared in the aisle of the carriage again and indicated that Sawayama Haruno was almost arriving in Kyoto, and then they stopped.

"I was having a lively conversation with my girlfriend."

Seeing that Sawayama Haruno hung up the phone as if he understood something, Morikawa Riho immediately smiled mischievously and said jokingly, "Sure enough, Kiriyama-sensei is the type who is very good at dealing with girls."

"Please don't have a strange impression of me."

Sawayama Haruno put his phone back into his pocket and walked towards his original seat with a helpless look on his face.

As if she had also sensed that the destination was about to arrive, Ezaki Suguha, who had been dozing with headphones on, had now woken up and was helping Mine Shiori to clean up the computer that Sawayama Haruno had placed on the desk.

Seeing this, Sawayama Haruno immediately took a few steps forward.

"I'll do it."

"it is good"

Mine Shiori moved aside a little and couldn't help but say, "I have just checked all the manuscripts that Haruno sent me last night."

"Really? Are there many things that need to be paid attention to later?"

"Well, I marked them all in red, and added some of my own opinions."

Mine Shiori smiled faintly, "But the actual adoption will depend on Haruno."

"It's been a great help."

After putting away his computer and taking out his luggage, Sawayama Haruno smiled and thanked the petite girl while following others to the train door to queue up to get off.

The announcement voice in the car also sounded slowly. When the Shinkansen slowed down, there would inevitably be a slight and brief feeling of imbalance, but fortunately this feeling came and went quickly.

After it was completely stabilized, the car door in front of the door slowly retracted to the left, and a heat wave suddenly surged in from outside.

"Ok?"

Sawayama Haruno, who came out with a suitcase, quickly realized the problem with the weather. He frowned slightly and looked at the sun hanging high in the sky.

"Will Haruno be hot?"

As soon as Jiang Qizhiye turned around, she noticed his expression and asked in surprise, "You look a little uncomfortable?"

"I'm the type who doesn't like cold, but I'm afraid of heat. Kyoto is much hotter than I imagined."

Sawayama Haruno sighed.

Although this was expected, the actual experience was another matter.

I'm sorry, my fellow compatriots from my previous life. From the perspective of someone who has experienced this, although the overall temperature in Tokyo is higher, when it comes to things like body surface temperature, I'm afraid Kyoto is better.

It really is. It is indeed an ancient capital with cold winters and hot summers.

From now on, the world-famous Tokyo Fever may as well be changed to Kyoto Fever.

"Wouldn't it be better to get out quickly? There's a car waiting for us outside," suggested Suguha Ezaki.

"Excuse me--"

Riho Morikawa came up from behind and interrupted their conversation.

"It's fine for Ms. Ezaki to take Mr. Kiriyama away. In fact, she's happy for it. After all, Mr. Kiriyama still has to finish his manuscript."

Morikawa Riho blinked and added, "But I need to borrow Mine Shiori's words."

After she finished speaking, her eyes fell on the petite girl beside her, who immediately let out a puzzled "Huh".

"Next, the editors will also have a meeting. Although you are an intern, you have to attend." Riho Morikawa explained.

"This, this is it"

After hearing the explanation, Mine Shiori looked at Ezaki Suguha with a slightly apologetic look, "Sorry, Suguha, I guess I have to go over there first."

"It's okay, Master. When the meeting is over, send me a message." Ezaki Suguha nodded gently and whispered, "I'll send someone to pick you up then, so you don't have to know where to stay."

If you think about it carefully, it is really necessary.

Sawayama Haruno thought that if you had booked a regular hotel, you wouldn't have to go through all this trouble. If you had booked a place like that, it would be very troublesome to find where to get in.

The hot weather did not affect his inner complaints. In short, the itinerary for several people was temporarily set.

After saying goodbye temporarily outside the station, Sawayama Haruno followed Esaki Suguha into the Esaki family's luxury car, and then immediately drove towards Ginkaku-ji Temple.

Although it was his first time in Kyoto, due to the extremely strong weather just now, Sawayama Haruno had no desire to talk at the moment. He stared out the window and thought about the book the whole time.

And Ezaki Suguha seemed even more silent. After getting in the car, she took out her Bluetooth headset again and pretended to be asleep, which was completely different from the tall girl she usually was.

She took off her headphones only when the car drove into the Ginkaku-ji Temple and they had to walk into the accommodation area.

"Just give your luggage to the driver, he will help take it to the room."

"I see."

It's really nice to enjoy the service provided by the upper class, thought Haruno Sawayama.

Only after getting off the bus did he notice that the surrounding environment was much more beautiful than he had imagined.

The area covered by Ginkaku-ji Temple is actually not small at all, and it feels like a wild ecological park when you look around.

Although there are many places with horizontal bars prohibiting entry, seeing the driver walking in front tearing it off directly, Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but think that this might be used to prevent passers-by other than his group from entering?

I always feel like it would be weird if I didn't say something at this time.

"This is my first time in a place like this." Sawayama Haruno tilted his head slightly and looked at Ezaki Suguha beside him curiously, "Why isn't the attic silver?"

“I don’t know the exact reason, I just know that the exterior walls are painted white.”

Jiang Qizhiye paused, and said uncertainly: "Maybe it has something to do with historical reasons?"

".I have never learned any knowledge about this."

"I do understand a little bit," Ezaki Suguha said succinctly, pointing to a sand dune not far away. "That's called the Silver Sand Dune. There's also something called the Xiang Station in the garden. At night, when the moon rises to a position opposite Yuesi Mountain, the sand dunes reflect the moonlight into the garden. It's very beautiful."

"."

Sawayama Haruno subconsciously looked in the direction of the other person's finger, and sure enough, there was a very obvious sand dune.

It would be better to say that the garden is almost entirely covered with fine white sand, which is combined with large pieces of marble to form another path. Looking down the path, you can see the endless ecological park, which is densely packed with pine trees, and the roots of the trees are growing wildly without any concealment, giving it an inexplicable sense of tranquility.

If I remember correctly, it seems to be called Kushan? Or is it called something else?

The area around Ginkakuji Temple is so huge that even Sawayama Haruno is a little confused.

"There is a lake in the central area of ​​Ginkaku-ji Temple. If Haruno wants to see it, he can go over there and take a look."

Ezaki Suguha whispered, "Besides that, from the back of the courtyard to the top of the mountain, you can also overlook the entire Kyoto city."

"Then, which courtyard do we live in?" Zeshan Haruno couldn't help but ask.

"Any one is fine. The Ginkaku-ji Temple will not be open to the public during this period. Haruno can live wherever he feels comfortable." Ezaki Suguha slowed down his pace a little, and said in an inexplicably soft tone, "After all, Haruno has to participate in the competition this time. If he doesn't adjust his condition, it will be difficult to write the next article, right?"

"I'm not that squeamish yet."

Sawayama Haruno touched his chin and said casually.

But seeing that Ezaki Suguha was still determined, he thought about it and casually mentioned the name of a courtyard he wanted to live in.

In less than a moment, the driver who helped carry his luggage took him to where he was going to stay.

Except for the central Imperial Garden, the buildings here seem to be quite similar, and the architectural style is so unified that it is impeccable. They are all Japanese-style buildings, which is the traditional decoration style from several centuries ago.

Although in modern times, some rural areas also adopt this kind of decoration, but in terms of historical atmosphere, there is no doubt that it is more intense here.

Just walking on the completely wooden floor, Sawayama Haruno felt cold sweats running down his face, as if he would accidentally destroy this cultural heritage in the next second.

"I also asked someone to prepare the things inside in advance."

As if noticing that Sawayama Haruno was not used to living here, Esaki Suguha spoke again, "We have found a new set of tables and chairs, so that Haruno will be more comfortable when working inside. There will also be someone outside the courtyard keeping an eye on him at all times. If he needs anything, just open the door and wave your hand."

".I think I understand."

Sawayama Haruno tried hard not to let his thoughts wander. He looked at the driver's Japanese-style sliding door as it opened, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll handle the rest myself."

The driver didn't move, but just looked at Ezaki Suguha.

After seeing the other party nod calmly, he returned the thing in his hand to Sawayama Haruno.

"Next, Haruno, just get used to it on your own."

Jiang Qizhiye reached out and lifted a strand of hair by her ear, and said softly, "I also need to go over and sort out my things, so I won't bother you with your work later."

"I see."

Seeing the other person being so considerate, Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile.

Just as Ezaki Suguha turned around and prepared to leave, he couldn't help but say, "That."

Ezaki Suguha paused for a moment.

"Thank you this time, Suguha."

Looking at the other person's back, Sawayama Haruno said sincerely.

Although he was a little bit hard to get used to the extravagance of the Ezaki family as they were a noble family, there was no doubt that Ezaki Suguha treated him as a true friend, otherwise there would be no need for him to take it to this extent.

"."

The other party seemed to have stopped for too long and was slow to respond.

Just when Sawayama Haruno couldn't help wondering if he shouldn't say such an awkward thank you, Ezaki Suguha spoke softly.

"No, it's nothing to worry about."

Chapter 162: Night Encounter

After Ezaki Suguha left, Sawayama Haruno also gently closed the door.

Then he looked at the room full of Japanese-style decorations and the brand new tables and chairs that didn't fit in, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

In fact, I still feel a little uncomfortable, he thought helplessly.

But this was also good intention of Ezaki Suguha. If I refused too much, the other party might be hurt because of his straightforward personality.

Never mind, I'll just do it anyway.

Compared to where to live, the most urgent and important priority is to finish all my manuscripts.

On Friday afternoon, all contestants' manuscripts will be taken away, which means Friday is the final deadline.

Not only did he have to finish the remaining 40,000 to 50,000 words within two days, he also had to find time to check and revise them.

Even with the help of Shiori Mine, the workload is still substantial and we cannot afford to be careless at all.

Thinking of this, Sawayama Haruno had already taken out his computer.

He was obviously not used to sitting on the brand new desk and chair, but he quickly forced himself to get into the working state of typing.

After fully focusing on the matter at hand, he gradually relaxed in this extremely quiet environment.

After all, Ginkaku-ji Temple is the most tranquil place in Kyoto. It was listed as a World Cultural Heritage not only for its historical significance, but also for its beautiful environment and unique geographical conditions, which make it particularly cool in hot weather.

Sawayama Haruno wasn't quite sure how this was done.

However, if it is possible to use moonlight to illuminate the entire courtyard, then it must be easy to make the design particularly airy and cool, right?
