Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

The moment she saw the text message clearly, a smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of Miyazawa Mana's mouth.

She happily put down the dishes in her hands, turned around and walked quickly upstairs. On the way, she ran into her father who was about to go downstairs.

"what happened?"

Miyazawa's father, who had just tried and failed to wake his wife, noticed the change in his daughter's mood at a glance.

"I don't have any friends. My friends asked me to go shopping."

Miyazawa Mana slightly restrained the smile on her face and said gently, "We happen to be in the same group for the final exam, so maybe we can discuss the project assignments."

"A member of the same group."

Miyazawa's father said meaningfully: "Be careful on the road."

"Ah."

Miyazawa Mana's face suddenly turned red.

She felt that her father seemed to have noticed something. After all, when Haruno visited before, her father said some strange things to her mother, which made her very concerned.

But no matter whether her family saw through her thoughts or not, Haruno's invitation still made her unable to control her feelings. It just so happened that the gift she prepared for Haruno in advance had been kept in the closet. Perhaps she could take advantage of this opportunity to give it to the other party.

While thinking this, Miyazawa Mana had already returned to her room. She quickly picked out a set of winter dating clothes that best suited her, and then carefully wrapped the gift she had prepared in advance with colored paper, and then carefully put it into her bag.

After finishing all this, she went downstairs to say goodbye to her father and her mother who had already gotten up. Under their equally strange gazes, she quickly changed into her little boots, stared at the warm sun outside and went out.

——The other party was already waiting for him at the entrance of the residential area.

It was a bit unexpected. She didn't expect that Sawayama Haruno would come to pick her up so soon. But then she thought that the other party might want to meet her earlier, and Miyazawa Mana could no longer control her excitement.

"Spring, Haruno."

Even though they had known each other for a long time, Miyazawa Mana acted as if they were meeting for the first time. She was even so nervous that she accidentally bit her tongue, which stunned Sawayama Haruno, who was waiting for her not far away.

"Mana, you're coming out so soon?"

Sawayama Haruno smiled.

"I thought you had to wait a while."

"No, today."

Miyazawa Mana was embarrassed to say that she had actually been anticipating meeting today, so she said somewhat stiffly: "I was planning to go out to buy something this morning, and after seeing your message, we just happened to meet up."

"is it?"

Sawayama Haruno scratched his head and didn't think much about it.

He took out the gift he had prepared for the other party from his pocket and said with a smile, "This is for you. It's a Christmas gift."

"Thank you, thank you."

Miyazawa Mana pursed her lips and solemnly took out the things she had prepared from her bag.

She held both hands in front of Zeshan Haruno and whispered, "I have prepared some for you as well, so please accept it."

"Ah, okay."

Sawayama Haruno saw her being so serious and thought to himself, what is this all about? When they were dating in high school, they had never exchanged "love tokens" so seriously and formally, right? But how should I put it? This rare solemn look made people feel that the corners of their mouths couldn't help but rise.

It turns out that the other party had already prepared a gift for him.

"can I open this?"

"Sure. Inside is a pen I prepared for Haruno."

Miyazawa Mana accepted the exquisite gift box handed over by the other party and whispered, "Although Haruno doesn't seem to use a pen to write books, there are times when he needs a pen. I think a fountain pen can play a better role in important occasions, and it can be preserved for a long time, so I bought this."

Hearing what she said, Sawayama Haruno opened the long and narrow box without hesitation. After seeing the obsidian pen body inside and a layer of soft gold pattern inlaid in the outer shell, he smiled knowingly.

"Thank you, I like it very much." Sawayama Haruno said softly.

This pen looks like it is very expensive. The soft gold pattern is obviously made of real gold. Only real gold can have such a soft feeling. Using other metals will make the texture appear harder.

"As long as Haruno likes it, I'll open it too?"

"Open it."

"Um"

Miyazawa Mana carefully pulled the purple ribbon on the small gift box. After opening it completely, she opened the box and saw the bracelet that looked particularly dazzling under the sunlight. The sparkling crystal clear diamonds made her squint her eyes, and after seeing it clearly, she froze in place.

"What's wrong, don't you like it?"

Seeing that she suddenly stopped talking, Zeshan Haruno thought that she didn't like the bracelet.

After hesitating for a moment, he was about to say that if he didn't like it, he could change it, but Miyazawa Mana spoke before he could say anything: "No."

"I like it very much. I like everything Haruno gives me."

Miyazawa Mana raised her head and revealed a thin and fragile smile.

"I just didn't expect Haruno to give me something like this."

"Mana."

Zeshan Haruno took her hand and whispered, "Let's start over again with what we talked about before?"

This time, I will definitely not let you and Maki have the same conflicts as before, he said silently in his heart.

Once he decides to do something, he will do it to the end no matter what happens. He had thought it through clearly at the class reunion. He could not accept Mana dating other people, or seeing Mana alone, so no matter what difficulties there were, he would find a way to get back together with her.

Although what happened in Macau cannot be undone, fortunately everyone has come out of the psychological shadow and slowly let go of some of their grudges against each other.

As time went by, Maki no longer showed as much disgust towards her sister as before.

During her conversation with Mine Shiori, Mana also came to terms with her desire to give in to her younger sister.

The most important thing is that he has found a way to make the twin sisters live in harmony. As long as he can give Maki enough sense of security and make Mana happy at the same time, it will be worth it no matter how troublesome it is.

As if she felt the sincerity in Sawayama Haruno's words, Miyazawa Mana couldn't help but close her eyes.

She leaned on him little by little, and after a long silence, she whispered:

"Then I'll leave it to Haruno."

Chapter 334 A Sweet Date with Mana

After accepting the gifts prepared by each other, Sawayama Haruno followed Miyazawa Mana to a famous shopping mall in Shinjuku for shopping.

As an area in Tokyo where the middle and lower bourgeoisie are concentrated, although the shopping malls here are not as dazzling as those in Ginza, many stores with foreign characteristics still attract many people who go out shopping on Christmas. Various discounted products are marked with holiday labels and displayed in the windows, attracting the attention of many young girls.

Don't underestimate the purchasing power of this group of people. The more childish the things are, the more likely they are to be popular with them, such as dolls, stuffed animals, or fluffy hats that only children wear.

Of course, Miyazawa Mana was no exception. She was staring at a small towel in the window at the moment, and couldn't help but be amazed.

"What's wrong? Mana, do you want to buy it?"

As soon as he walked out of the bathroom at the corner, Sawayama Haruno noticed the other person's expression.

When he got closer, he realized it was a baby scarf that would barely fit even an elementary school student.

Baby, scarf?

I always feel that this word doesn't quite fit the bill, but it can still be used to refer to this product.

Sawayama Haruno is already considering whether to buy three, one for Mana Miyazawa, who for some reason likes this scarf so much, and the other two for future babies.

“I can’t say I want to buy it.”

After hearing what Sawayama Haruno said, Miyazawa Mana hesitated for a moment and shook her head.

"Never mind. I was just wondering what would happen if I put this scarf on Winnie the Pooh?"

"Winnie the Pooh. The one I gave you before?"

"Well, I bought a scarf specifically for the doll before, but I stopped wearing it because I accidentally scratched it."

Miyazawa Mana turned around and said with a smile: "Forget it, let's go get a drink next."

She was just thinking about it casually. After all, the main purpose of Winnie the Pooh was to hold her while she slept. Wearing a scarf would make her sleep uncomfortably.

Miyazawa Mana put aside her somewhat whimsical ideas and took the initiative to take Sawayama Haruno to a nice dessert shop on the third floor of the mall.

This is a very famous dessert chain in Tokyo. It not only has local desserts from the island country, but also many pastries imported from China, as well as a very small number of snacks from more distant areas.

Mana Miyazawa originally wanted to order some rice cakes and special drinks, but after seeing the sign outside the store, she suddenly pulled Sawayama Haruno's clothes.

"Want to try this?"

"Ok?"

Sawayama Haruno looked in the direction of her finger and saw a promotional GG board placed right outside the store door. It listed a limited couple snack set for Christmas, and the most eye-catching one was a double drink that looked like a cream smoothie.

There is a special note at the bottom of GG saying that this is a double straw.

"try!"

After seeing the special note, Sawayama Haruno agreed without hesitation.

Just kidding, double straws are even more advanced than indirect kissing. Although there is no saliva interaction, double straws will force two people to drink face to face. The close distance and the promotion of delicious desserts can make the relationship between the two people heat up faster.

In short, it is something that looks very "ambiguous" but is actually more "ambiguous" than it looks. To sum it up, it is probably amazing!

"I see. Does Haruno want anything else?"

Hearing the other party agree without hesitation, Miyazawa Mana's face couldn't help but turn a little red. She whispered to Sawayama Haruno if he wanted anything else, but she only got a question from the other party asking if they could order two Christmas couple sets.

Really, this guy

Miyazawa Mana bit her lip lightly and couldn't help but give Sawayama Haruno a blank look. Then she urged him to go into the store and find a seat to sit down, while she told the waiter at the front desk what they wanted to order.

After all the snacks were served, Miyazawa Mana found Sawayama Haruno's seat with a plastic tray.

"Such a small portion?"

Sawayama Haruno glanced at the special cream smoothie drink on the tray and suddenly felt a little regretful.

This bowl is a bit too small. If two people eat it together, they will finish it quickly.

I should have ordered it myself and asked the waiter to find a way to get a bowl as big as possible. It would be best if they didn't cut the bottom of the double straw and served it to me as it is. Even if I couldn't drink the creamy smoothie, it wouldn't be a pity because there would be more delicious nectar waiting for me.

As if she saw through why Sawayama Haruno was feeling sad, Miyazawa Mana puffed up her cheeks in pretending to be angry.

But having known each other for such a long time, Sawayama Haruno understood her too well and knew that when she was really angry, she would appear calmer. The expression she had now looked a bit like Maki was mad at him.

The inexplicable familiarity made Zeshan Haruno feel a little strange, but he still picked up the sea salt fries beside him and laughed, "Let's try something else first."

"There's tartar sauce here, it's very salty when eaten directly."

Mana Miyazawa helped open the dipping sauce and then handed it to Haruno Sawayama.

This is a dipping sauce that is popular abroad. It can be said to be one of the indispensable items for fast food in North America. Almost everyone in North America will eat it with fast food such as hamburgers and French fries.

In North America, if you eat French fries but don't let people dip them in tartar sauce, it's like asking Chef Huang to cook but not putting cooking wine in it, or asking Chef Yu to cook but not putting soy sauce in it.

Of course, the calories in tartar sauce itself are frighteningly high. If it didn’t taste so good, it would be hard to stand out among the many sauces.

Sawayama Haruno didn't care about the high calories. He picked up a piece with a fork, dipped it in tartar sauce and put it directly into his mouth. The sweet sauce melted instantly on the tip of his tongue. The French fries wrapped in white salt grains promptly exuded a rich sea salt flavor. The wonderful combination of the two made his eyes light up slightly.

——It’s quite delicious.

"This is good, Mana should try it too."

Sawayama Haruno picked up another small piece of sea salt fries, dipped it in a little sauce, and took the initiative to bring it to Miyazawa Mana's mouth.

"what--"

"what"

Miyazawa Mana hesitated for a moment, but still opened her mouth obediently to cooperate.

Sawayama Haruno easily brought the sea salt fries covered with milky white tartar sauce to her mouth. As if she was afraid that the sauce would fall and stain her clothes, she even subconsciously stuck out her tongue to try to catch it.

Such a charming scene made Sawayama Haruno's heart tighten. He wondered why the fries he fed seemed a little different from those fed by other couples?

Bah, bah, bah, I must have been influenced by Miyazawa Mana. It's all because of this guy whose head is full of pornographic garbage and who says all kinds of incomprehensible things all day long. Now I have become impure as well. Everything I see seems like some unbearable scenes.

That’s right, it’s all Maki’s fault!

While Sawayama Haruno was still daydreaming, Miyazawa Mana had already eaten the French fries with a red face.

She looked at the visibly stunned Sawayama Haruno and whispered, "Haruno, that..."
