Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

"Um"

Without waiting for Sawayama Haruno to finish his words, Ezaki Suguha responded softly.

"Why."

"Feel sorry."

"."

Listening to the other party's straightforward apology, Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but be distracted. He had a lot to say but didn't know how to say it.

But after noticing the bruises on the other person's body, he subconsciously asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

“It hurts, but it’s okay.”

The corners of Jiang Qizhiye's mouth rose a little, and she smiled: "It was actually quite comfortable just now."

It's just that the amount of information tonight was so much that he hasn't recovered yet.

"Don't yell like that."

"Yeah."

Suguha Esaki's expression fell at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was still the familiar straightforward conversation, but this way of chatting only made Sawayama Haruno feel more uncomfortable.

“That’s not the question.”

"The two of us can't do this kind of thing." Sawayama Haruno said with a hint of bitterness.

Things were completely beyond his expectations.

Thinking of this, Zeshan Haruno's mood became even heavier.

The matter in Tokyo has not been resolved yet, and this kind of thing happened in Kyoto again

"Didn't you also talk about the impact your parents' relationship had on you?"

"What's the difference between what we are doing now and what your parents did?" Sawayama Haruno asked in a low voice.

"Because I know that Haruno will not be like my father."

“It’s not a question of whether it’s similar or not.”

"."

Suguha Esaki said nothing more.

She bit her lips, her face showing some inexplicable stubbornness.

But tears kept welling up in the girl's eyes.

"I can't move, just throw me out."

"what?"

Sawayama Haruno looked up in surprise.

But all he saw was Ezaki Suguha saying coldly: "If you don't do it, then throw me out. I can't move now."

"."

Sawayama Haruno closed his eyes but did not move his body.

But he also needed some time to calm down and think about it. He couldn't just treat it as a misunderstanding that happened that night and forget about it.

Thinking of this, Zeshan Haruno opened his eyes again and asked in confusion: "You did this because of your family's arrangement?"

"Part of it."

Ezaki Suguha looked away, looked to the side and whispered, "How can you blame me? I've always wanted to have something like what happened between you and Maki."

"But, I can't just leave you alone after this, can I?" Sawayama Haruno sighed helplessly, "No matter what, there's no need to resort to such extreme measures."

"I'll be gone after this, so Haruno doesn't need to worry about me ruining things between you and Maki."

As if seeing through his inner worries, Ezaki Suguha explained in an extremely calm tone: "After returning to Tokyo, my family will arrange my future schooling. By then, my master won't have to give me extra lessons, and I won't appear next to you anymore."

"As for the contact with Maki, I will also use my heavy academic workload as an excuse to gradually distance myself from her. No one other than Haruno will know the truth, so it won't disrupt our normal lives."

"Normal life." Sawayama Haruno opened his mouth and said bitterly, "Do you think I can still maintain normal life?"

He felt himself calming down a little.

The matter is done. It's impossible to go back a few hours to stop myself, right?

How to deal with the next situation is what we need to worry about most.

Sawayama Haruno sighed heavily and said in silence: "Give me some time, Suguha."

"Don't say such things."

Zeshan Haruno covered her mouth with his hand and whispered, "I just need some time to calm down and think, because there have been too many things going on recently and I am tired too."

He leaned sideways, staring blankly into the darkness of the room.

There are too many things to think about, and it becomes tiring.

Almost at the moment he felt tired, Sawayama Haruno sighed softly.

The tall girl, who was always aware of his emotional changes, immediately offered her own comfort.

Chapter 174 Suguha's Bath Time

The warm feeling on his palm brought Sawayama Haruno's consciousness back to reality.

He suddenly realized that Ezaki Suguha was still waiting for him to speak.

After removing his hand, he looked at the bruised man and hesitated to ask, "Your health... do you need to go to the hospital?"

"Need not."

Ezaki Suguha smiled softly and whispered, "I always carry some ointment with me. This is to prevent injuries during training. Although it seems a bit serious this time, it should be fine after a few days of rest."

"And my body is better than that of other girls. I recover quickly and can tolerate pain well."

"We don't need to do that, right?" Zeshan Haruno rubbed his brows and smiled bitterly, "I'm more worried about your health. I'm very strong to begin with, and I won't be able to control myself when my consciousness is blurred."

"Haruno."

As if sensing his inner guilt, Ezaki Suguha softly called his name again, and her soft little hand slowly touched the other's palm.

"I want to take a shower, can you carry me there?"

"but."

"There's no one outside anymore. We're the only ones in Ginkaku-ji until I call them back."

Ezaki Suguha paused for a moment and whispered, "Just wash in the courtyard, it's okay, right?"

"But, can you still wash yourself like this?"

"Then can you please help me wash it, Haruno?"

Suguha Esaki's tone was extremely humble.

Thinking of this, Sawayama Haruno breathed a long sigh of relief, and without hesitation, he picked up Ezaki Suguha by the waist.

Holding Ezaki Suguha in his arms, Sawayama Haruno walked out of the room.

The shower area is actually in the next room.

Of course, there is no shower head. The hot water for bathing is actually placed in a basin. It looks a bit like a bathhouse design, and there is also a wooden basin that serves as a bathtub for bathing.

It was definitely too late to try to get hot water now, but Ezaki Suguha could only wash with cold water, and Sawayama Haruno didn't care at all, as he was not afraid of the cold.

After bringing the other person to the bathroom, he first carefully placed the other person on a small wooden stool, and then went to get some water.

Hua Hua——

The sound of flowing water continued, and during this time, Ezaki Suguha kept looking at his back.

"."

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something but couldn't.

Finally, she touched her belly with a slightly lonely expression.

After a gentle press, the body relaxed a little due to the squeezing.

"Will it still be uncomfortable?"

Sawayama Haruno, who had just returned from fetching water, naturally noticed her little movements. He thought that she was feeling uncomfortable because her skin had turned blue from being pinched, so he subconsciously expressed his concern for her.

"I'm fine, I just recovered some strength." Suguha Ezaki said honestly.

"Please sit down."

Sawayama Haruno glanced at the basin of water he was holding, and after a moment of silence, he took the towel hanging next to him.

After getting some water on it, he wiped it on Ezaki Suguha's body.

The water from the tap is naturally icy cold, but considering that the purpose is to use it as an ice compress, it doesn't seem to matter if it's a little cold.

Sawayama Haruno's movements were very gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting Ezaki Suguha again.

He took the other person's hand and slowly wiped the bruised area with a towel soaked in cold water, while his gaze inevitably drifted upwards.

But he doesn't want to think about so many things now. It is said that too much debt is not a burden. If you have too many moral debts, you will probably feel self-abandoned to some extent.

For him, the most urgent task was to help Ezaki Suguha clean her body.

"Will it be ugly?" Ezaki Suguha suddenly asked.

".What?"

"that is."

"Ah, you're talking about this?"

Zeshan Haruno didn't know what expression to use to face the other party, so he could only whisper: "Some people will be like this."

“Wouldn’t that be strange?”

"No way."

"That's good"

Ezaki Suguha smiled faintly.

For the next ten minutes, neither of them spoke again.

Suguha Ezaki also felt that the other party might be feeling a little guilty and embarrassed, and didn't want to put too much pressure on him, so he chose to let the other party wipe him obediently. Sawayama Haruno was also very confused. After helping the other party wash, he took the wooden stool to the other side and quickly washed himself.

After doing all this, Sawayama Haruno consulted with Suguha Ezaki and confirmed that she would not do anything out of line again before he took his clothes and put them on her. He then carried her back to her own room.

After finishing all this, it was already past six o'clock and the sun was starting to come out.

After coming out of Ezaki Suguha's room, Sawayama Haruno looked at the horizon which was about to break dawn, his expression in an uncontrollable trance.

Just go back and have some sleep.

At least I can temporarily get rid of my current troubles.

According to the original plan, he was supposed to review the novel again this morning, but looking at the current situation, he didn't have the heart to continue his research.

Better to take a good rest.

With this thought in mind, Sawayama Haruno sighed and returned to his room.

After packing up the documents in the computer and handing them over to Morikawa Riho, he began to clean up the debris in the room.

Most of them were the black silk nightgown, which was violently torn into many "skin fragments" by Sawayama Haruno, making it a bit troublesome to clean up.

It was during the cleaning process that Sawayama Haruno belatedly realized a very serious problem.

There were only "skin fragments" of the nightgown on the ground, no other clothes.

That is

"What's the point of thinking about this at a time like this?"

Sawayama Haruno gave a bitter smile, looked at the pieces of nightgown he had collected, pondered for a moment, found a bag to put the pieces in, and then threw them on the stool.
