Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

Mine Shiori grabbed the food box tightly, her body shook for a moment, and then she relaxed weakly.

"I've always liked Haruno."

After saying this, she showed a slightly pale smile.

The petite girl's haggard figure would make anyone who saw her feel heartbroken.

But there is another person in this ward who also has something that makes people feel sorry for him.

"Yeah."

Jiang Qizhiye put down the lunch in his hand, stood up straight, and said numbly: "Me too."

"I am the same as Master. No, I am the same as Master. I fell in love with the same man, and then this man has another child."

And I have a girlfriend.

Suguha Ezaki was unable to utter the last sentence.

It's a word that makes your heart twitch uncontrollably once you say it.

"I saw it yesterday."

"When we were in Arashiyama, I went to the bathroom and did what Suguha did when she was outside with Haruno."

The more Mine Shiori spoke, the lower her voice became.

She whispered with indistinguishable emotion: "Sometimes, I really don't know what's going on. Maybe it's because I'm not proactive enough."

She felt that it was because she was not proactive enough.

She's actually still thinking about something. Working together with Haruno in Kodansha, and then finally getting together.

These ideas seem ridiculous now.

Because Suguha and Haruno had only known each other for a short time, but they were already dating.

"Initiative, no. It has nothing to do with initiative, right?"

Suguha Esaki's inner emotions became more complicated.

"Sometimes, even if you take the initiative, it won't change the outcome, because..."

She paused for a moment before explaining softly, "Because the order was determined from the beginning."

That's right.

The order was predetermined from the beginning.

As far as she knows, Sawayama Haruno has been dating Miyazawa Maki since last year's Golden Week.

So even though he had offered himself voluntarily now, the other party still had not changed much in his feelings towards Miyazawa Maki.

Although Sawayama Haruno always said that he would be responsible for himself, only Ezaki Suguha understood that most of his heart was occupied by Miyazawa Maki.

The reason is very simple. I knew it when I saw the look in their eyes in the security room of the mall.

That was a passion that hadn't changed in more than a year, so how could it change because of my dedication?

At most, Sawayama Haruno is stubbornly taking responsibility for himself due to his own moral values, which has nothing to do with the relationship between him and Maki.

"."

"."

The ward fell into a strange silence again.

Mine Shiori turned her head, glanced at her, and then turned her head back.

When she heard the word "sequence" just now, for a moment she wanted to say something.

because

It was obviously me who came here first!

Whether it was knowing Sawayama Haruno or falling in love with her first, it was obviously before Ezaki Suguha, wasn't it?

Why is that? Haruno's current girlfriend is him and not me.

Suguha clearly knew that according to the order, she was in the front, so what was the meaning of saying this now?

She couldn't understand.

The temperature of the food box in her hand was slowly decreasing, but neither she nor Ezaki Suguha seemed to have any desire to eat.

The two of them faced different directions, sideways to each other, and maintained a strange silence.

Perhaps only in some of their inner thoughts are they somewhat similar.

But unfortunately, neither Mine Shiori nor Ezaki Suguha realized a fatal problem.

——That is whether the other party knows about the existence of Miyazawa Maki.

Chapter 194: Confrontation between Master and Disciple

In the ward.

The gourmet food box ordered from Piaoting had already gone completely cold by now.

The conditions of the two girls were much better than before.

I can't keep talking about what just happened, otherwise I probably won't be able to eat this meal.

No, not only could I not eat this meal, I couldn’t even make friends afterwards.

Therefore, after a brief silence, both parties opened the cold food boxes at the same time, as if nothing had happened just now.

It’s just that the tone of voice during the conversation seemed a little pale.

"Suguha, aren't you going to Kiyomizu Temple with Haruno this afternoon?"

"Because he had something to do in the evening, so he simply cancelled it. Even if he didn't have anything to do, he wouldn't go."

Ezaki Suguha lowered his head and said softly, "Master is still in the hospital."

"Neither Haruno nor I would go out to play at this time."

"Don't worry about me." Mine Shiori pursed her lips and said weakly, "I"

"I'm not sick, I'm just scared."

After saying this, I felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from my heart.

Mine Shiori only felt that the invisible pressure on her shoulders seemed to have suddenly disappeared.

Sure enough, if you keep this kind of thing in your heart, it will be more relaxing than speaking it out.

"Scared?"

As expected, after hearing what Mine Shiori said, Esaki Suguha looked up in confusion.

"What scared you?"

"Being Haruno"

Mine Shiori stared at the porridge in her hand and said absentmindedly, "I was doing something shameful at the time."

"Then, Haruno suddenly came in and was completely seen by him. No, more than that, after being seen by him, I was so excited that I was shaking all over, and then I fainted."

"Yeah." Ezaki Suguha took a few deep breaths and smiled a little bit forcedly, "Although I can't quite empathize with you, I can understand it."

“No, you can’t understand.”

Mine Shiori grabbed the food box tightly, and her delicate and slender index finger looked a little white from the excessive force.

Just like her face.

"I was in Haruno's room."

".Eh?"

The other party's sudden answer made Ezaki Suguha freeze in place.

Her expression froze in an instant, and she looked at her master with some confusion and surprise.

etc.

Master, you were doing that in Haruno's room and then you were discovered?

She thought that Haruno had accidentally seen her when he went to check on her. Was that the case?

As if she had noticed the strange look in Ezaki Suguha's eyes, Mine Shiori's expression became more and more guilty.

"At that time, I thought you would never come back. Then, for some reason, I ran to Haruno's room by myself."

"Yeah."

Ezaki Suguha pursed her lips.

She could understand that feeling to some extent.

No, to be precise, she is much more excessive than Mine Shiori.

The most the other party could do was run over when Haruno was not around, but she directly "knocked" the other party down.

Not only that, before we set off for Arashiyama yesterday, a "wall-separated" drama was staged.

So she has no right to blame the other party.

Thinking of this, her eyes dimmed a little.

“I’m pretty much the same.”

After a brief silence, Suguha Ezaki slowly began to talk about what had happened between her and Haruno.

In an extremely calm tone, she explained why her relationship with Sawayama Haruno had become so ambiguous, and that they were not a couple at all now.

She didn't mention that Sawayama Haruno now has a real girlfriend. She just briefly mentioned it in a few words, focusing on what she did to Sawayama Haruno and what he decided to take responsibility for afterwards.

After listening to this, Mine Shiori was stunned.

"So this is ah."

She suddenly murmured to herself, laughing at herself, "I wish I had known it would be so simple."

".Is it easy?"

Ezaki Suguha's eyes dimmed for a moment.

"After returning to Tokyo, I probably won't meet Haruno and Master again."

".Eh?"

The topic suddenly jumped to something else, causing Mine Shiori to look over in confusion.

Jiang Qizhiye's eyes were wandering, and he said softly: "My family has made new arrangements for me in the future, so I don't need Master to continue tutoring me."

"As for Haruno, he actually knows about this, but he just won't give up."

"My future plans will basically be arranged by my family, including matters concerning my other half, so Master, you don't need to worry, because I will disappear soon."

Ezaki Naoha pursed her lips, and when she thought of her other good friend Miyazawa Maki, her complicated emotions continued to surge.

Finally, that emotion turned into a word on his lips.

"Master, you can be willful sometimes, right?"

Mine Shiori obviously didn't understand what she meant, and stared at her blankly.

The petite girl hadn't recovered from what she had just said. After a moment's hesitation, she asked in confusion, "Suguha, are you saying that the Ezaki family has found a university for you?"

"Well, in exchange, I'm going to start dating after I return to Tokyo."

Ezaki Suguha's fingers nervously gripped the hem of her pleated skirt as she spoke in a low voice, "My family will also arrange the partner. It will basically be my mother and uncles who will make the decision."

"This matter was actually decided before coming to Kyoto, so there is no way to change it."

"Wait, but you're still preparing for the entrance exam?"

Mine Shiori interrupted her with some disbelief.

"Didn't you say during tutoring that you didn't want to rely on these kinds of connections to get into university? And the same goes for blind dates."

"Although you just said that you haven't started dating Haruno yet, isn't now a good opportunity?"
