Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

After all, there is Suguha at home. Even if she can't "strictly guard" against Haruno in that kind of thing because of her pregnancy, there will be no problem as long as Suguha goes.

Although it would be difficult to completely deprive Haruno of the energy to look for other girls with the opponent's physical strength alone, any weakening would be helpful.

In short, she is Maki Miyazawa!

I am full of confidence in the future!

"Is it too late? Maybe."

Looking at her sister who suddenly looked very proud, Miyazawa Mana smiled helplessly.

She just wanted to tell the other party that she was not going to give in this time.

Although she didn't know whether her meaning was conveyed to the other party well, at least she had said what she wanted to say.

For her, as long as she can be with Haruno, it doesn't matter even if they are secret lovers.

"What's that expression on your face? If you regretted it, you shouldn't have broken up with him in the first place."

Miyazawa Maki wrinkled her nose and said unhappily, "Didn't you say you wanted to quit first?"

"Yes, but I didn't expect that Maki would become what she is now here in Haruno."

Miyazawa Mana seemed to be in a good mood. Even when facing Miyazawa Maki, who looked unhappy, she still smiled and said, "Even when we were in high school, I thought he was a very annoying person."

"No way."

Miyazawa Maki immediately rolled her eyes and refused to acknowledge her past dark history.

"No? I remember when we were in high school, Haruno once showed concern for you and asked if you wanted to have dinner with us."

Miyazawa Mana smiled gently and said, "Didn't you often go to the library to eat by yourself at that time? Haruno was worried about you because of this."

"This guy is just worrying about nothing. I just don't want to eat with others, not that I'm being excluded." Miyazawa Maki snorted.

What the other person said also made some of her memories resurface in her mind.

She knew that what Mana said was right. Haruno had wanted to have a good communication with her in high school. After all, he was Mana's boyfriend at the time, and she was like a future sister-in-law to him.

It was just because of various misunderstandings that the relationship between the two of them seemed a little "cold" at the time.

I guess I didn't expect that I would date Haruno one day.

No, I never thought that even if I met Maki at that time and told her in person what would happen in the future, that stubborn girl would definitely protest loudly and say that I was talking nonsense.

By the way, was I such a troublesome person in the past?

Miyazawa Maki just thought about it in her mind for a moment, and suddenly she felt overwhelmed, so she simply stopped thinking about these troubles, turned around and ignored her sister's "mumbling".

"lets change a topic."

Noticing that the time seemed to be almost up, Miyazawa Mana stood up from her chair and stretched.

"Dad should be almost done packing downstairs. He will probably change his clothes and go out for dinner soon."

Miyazawa Mana looked at her sister and reminded her, "Your clothes are still in the closet. I washed and dried some winter clothes a while ago. You can wear them directly."

"have a finger in the pie."

Miyazawa Maki hummed twice.

She didn't ask the other party to do that. But turning over the closet without other people's consent could be considered a somewhat "hateful" act, right?

That's abominable.

Thinking of this, Miyazawa Maki waved her hand impatiently, signaling Mana to leave her room quickly.

After the other party went out and gently closed the door, the short-haired girl suddenly fell back on the bed like a deflated ball.

"How strange," she muttered to herself, staring at the familiar yet unfamiliar ceiling.

There was an inexplicable feeling of palpitations in her chest that kept lingering. If she hadn't been very sure about her own health, she would have thought that something had gone wrong due to the influence of the babies.

As expected, it was probably because of what happened between Haruno and Mana.

These two guys must still be in contact. It makes me want to bite them so hard just thinking about it. I can't wait to rush back and bite that bastard Haruno to death.

According to normal time, this guy should be taking a nap at home now, and it’s almost time for him to get up and buy groceries.

What is the other party doing now?

Maki Miyazawa puffed up her cheeks and suddenly missed her boyfriend.

We've only been apart for less than a day.

I feel like I am becoming more and more dependent on Haruno.

On the other side, in a high-end apartment building in Shinjuku District, Tokyo.

The man that Miyazawa Maki was thinking about was not lying on the bed at this moment, but was sitting in front of the computer desk with some irritability, looking at the laptop in front of him with a sad face.

“What went wrong?”

Sawayama Haruno scratched his hair in distress, looking a little depressed.

I clearly remember those words in my mind, but when I translated them again and tried to enter them into the document, I felt an inexplicable sense of being stuck.

The text that was re-translated and edited doesn’t have the natural feeling that I had when I wrote “Norwegian Wood”.

To be precise, it's like losing a certain spirituality.

"Could it be because of the sense of immersion?"

Sawayama Haruno rubbed his brows and talked to himself.

When I was writing "Norwegian Wood", I was deeply involved in the emotional dispute between Maki and Mana, so when I wrote a novel with similar experiences, I had a feeling of "writing like a god".

But now he obviously doesn't have that kind of mood, so he seems to have made little progress on the second book.

It’s not that I can’t write it, but I can’t express that “feeling”.

He had read the translated version before, so it lacked the original beauty of Haruki Murakami's writing. Although the translation was very good, now that he was asked to rewrite it in the form of the island country's language, it seemed a bit boring without the original beauty.

"The progress of the work is quite bad, Salmon Ball."

Sawayama Haruno touched the kitten on his thigh with some annoyance.

Looking at the contents on his laptop, he muttered to himself, "Forget it. I'll stop here for today."

There would be no use continuing to sit there. After all, what was troubling him now was some vague and illusory thing. In this case, he might as well go out for a walk. Maybe he would find the so-called "answer" after relaxing?

Thinking of this, Sawayama Haruno no longer hesitated. After saving the several hundred words he had written earlier, he returned to the sofa in the living room with the salmon balls in his arms, picked up his mobile phone and prepared to see what to eat tonight.

He and Maki had already eaten all the takeouts around a long time ago. Although dinner for one person was just a perfunctory meal for himself, Sawayama Haruno didn't have much appetite when looking at the pictures on his phone.

After a moment of depression, he still decided to force himself to order one, but just as he was about to place the order, Riho Morikawa sent him a picture on LINE.

The finger that was about to click "Confirm" suddenly stopped in place, and Sawayama Haruno subconsciously opened the LINE page.

The picture was loaded in less than a second. He looked at it with interest for a few seconds and found that it was a detailed picture of his first month's royalties, or a "pay slip" in other words.

However, this "pay slip" was obviously incomplete, because the bulk of his income still came from sales dividends and copyright income that had not yet been seen. Therefore, Sawayama Haruno just took a few glances at it, saved the picture and ignored it.

But that's it.

Sawayama Haruno pondered for a moment, and suddenly typed to ask where Morikawa Riho was now.

The other party's answer was, as expected, "It's Kodansha. You must be working so hard, Ms. Morikawa. If I remember correctly, editors at Kodansha usually get off work at five o'clock. It's already past five and almost half past five. Are you secretly working overtime to earn overtime pay again?"

How can this work!

Sawayama Haruno immediately asked the other party if he could treat him to dinner, and if so, he would set off for Bunkyo District right away.

The message was quickly changed to read status, but it was a long time before Morikawa Riho sent a series of ellipsis marks and the word "OK".

"I got a free meal."

Sawayama Haruno suddenly laughed.

He touched the salmon ball next to him and said with a smile: "I'll leave you alone at home for a while tonight. I'll accompany you when I come back in the evening."

"Meow~"

Salmon Ball stared at him with an extremely resentful expression.

Do you think that cats don’t understand men’s minds? This guy will definitely hide in the room with the new girl at night!

Chapter 312 Haruno's meal plan

The weather in Tokyo is getting colder day by day.

Walking on the street, you can basically see people wearing thick down jackets or hoodies.

The cold air from Siberia doesn't seem to be decreasing over time. On the contrary, in this season, people can't help but worry whether Tokyo's first snow will fall tomorrow.

It's snowing.

Sawayama Haruno felt a little emotional.

Although he has lived in Tokyo for three or four years, snow is still a novelty for him.

It’s not only because it never snowed where I lived in my previous life, but also because the frequency of snowing in my hometown of Osaka is pitifully low.

Compared with other cities in the Kanto region, the snowfall in Tokyo is actually quite good. The appropriate amount will not affect the lives of ordinary people too much. If it snows like Hokkaido, it will probably cause a lot of trouble.

“When I think of snow, it brings up a picture.”

Zeshan Haruno let out a breath of air as he walked.

When it comes to snow, what comes to mind are works such as "Love Letter" and "Snow Country", but due to different styles and other reasons, Sawayama Haruno has never considered writing about them as well.

Now, just writing "Kafka on the Shore" is making him miserable. Thinking too much about other works is also useless. He might as well put his mind back on it and think about what to ask Miss Morikawa to treat him to dinner tonight.

Sawayama Haruno shook his head with a dumb smile, and after noticing that he was not far from the street where Otowa Town was located, he subconsciously quickened his pace.

But obviously, the other party didn't seem to be someone who would patiently wait for him to come and pick him up.

At the next corner, Sawayama Haruno just turned around and saw a slim figure walking towards him.

Today, for the first time, she was wearing a tweed coat, with an open women's suit jacket and a beige gradient striped shirt underneath, and a rather seductive leather miniskirt.

The sexy black stockings paired with women's long boots make her look very elegant. When she steps on the ground, they make a slightly dull tapping sound, as if making her almost perfect figure even more proud.

What is even more eye-catching is that she also wore a small women's beret on her head.

The hat, which can only cover a small part of the hair, was cleverly clamped on the hair by something. Although it looks a little crooked, its owner seems indescribably playful in this accident.

You have combined maturity and cuteness just right. You are worthy of being Ms. Morikawa. You are totally worthy of making your debut at the Tokyo Fashion Show. People like Saito Asuka, Ikeda Elaisa and Miyoshi Ayaka are simply weak compared to you.

Sawayama Haruno praised him generously in his heart, and only took the initiative to say hello when the other party walked up to him.

"Why did Miss Morikawa come down by herself? Are you in such a hurry to treat me to a meal?" he said with a smile.

"You still have the nerve to say that."

Morikawa Riho, who had just walked over, heard his teasing and immediately gave him a displeased look.

"There's basically no one in the company anyway, so we might as well come down early."

She said with a bit of despair: "Besides, I worked overtime today to avoid some troubles."

"Hey, what's the matter? Is it work-related again?"

"Let's talk as we walk."

Morikawa Riho sighed and took the initiative to lead the way.

However, after taking just a few steps, she couldn't help but continue complaining.

"It's related to my family, but I don't think Kiriyama-sensei would understand how difficult it is for an older woman."

"Are you being urged to get married by your family?"

When she said this, Sawayama Haruno immediately understood.

"Ms. Morikawa, you're almost 27 this year, right? It's really making your family anxious that you're not married yet," he joked.

"Die!"

Morikawa Riho raised her hand and elbowed Sawayama Haruno viciously.

Although it seems a bit fierce, in fact, no strength is used. Instead, it feels like she is acting coquettishly.

"Mr. Kiriyama has a girlfriend just after he entered his freshman year. How can he understand a woman like me who has been single for many years and has difficulties?"
