Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

She immediately became curious and asked, "What's going on? I thought you were lost."

"Yui, and Suguha?"

Hearing the voice, Sawayama Haruno looked up subconsciously. After noticing the two people, he showed a somewhat surprised expression.

"Why did you two come out?"

"We're out of soy sauce at home, and Auntie Yazi saw that you haven't been home for so long, so she asked Xiaowei to come out and help buy soy sauce."

Ezaki Suguha patiently explained, "I just stopped by for a stroll. I was thinking about calling you later to ask where you were."

This time, Sawayama Haruno took too long. Sawayama Ayako thought, it was just a matter of borrowing a bottle of soy sauce, why did it take so long?

She was afraid that Maki and the others would be hungry after their journey, and the dinner prepared at home could not be delayed too long, so she simply asked Ayano Yui, who was familiar with the situation in the town, to help run errands and buy soy sauce. Unexpectedly, they would meet here.

"I've already bought the soy sauce."

Sawayama Haruno raised the bag in his hand and gestured to the two of them, then he reacted and introduced Fujii Miyuki next to him to them.

"This is Fujii Miyuki, the one who lives next door. You should know her, right?"

"Yes, I do know him."

Ayano Yui seemed a little uninterested.

Of course she knew who the other person was. After all, Fujii Miyuki's mother had come to her house and joked about arranging a marriage for her children. She was present at the time, so she had a special impression of Fujii Miyuki.

Ezaki Suoha, who was standing by, didn't seem to be too moved. She looked at the somewhat bewildered Fujii Miyuki and said with a smile, "Hello, my name is Ezaki Suoha."

"Hello." Fujii Miyuki responded softly.

It was the first time she had seen such a tall and beautiful girl. And next to her, Ayano Yui, she seemed to have changed a lot in just over half a year. By the way, she seemed to be going to university in Tokyo after the New Year.

"Now that you've bought it, let's go back."

Suguha Ezaki took a few steps forward and took the bag from Haruno Sawayama without thinking.

She noticed that there seemed to be traces of dust on the other person's collar, so she reached out to wipe it off and helped to tidy it up. Her actions seemed particularly intimate, and Fujii Miyuki next to her was stunned for a moment.

"Auntie Ako is anxious to make dinner, and Maki seems a little hungry too."

"Really? Then let's go back. It will probably snow if we wait any longer."

Haruno Sawayama subconsciously grabbed Suguha Ezaki's hand, and turned around to greet Miyuki Fujii with a smile.

The latter seemed to have lost his soul, following behind a few people and walking back the way he came.

She had no intention of continuing to listen to what the others were saying. Even when Ayano Yui spoke to her, she just responded perfunctorily in a daze. Ayano Yui saw her absent-minded state and naturally understood what was happening.

Although she found it a little funny, she also felt a little sympathetic for some reason, so she stopped talking for the rest of the journey and the group walked towards home in silence.

It was not until she came back that Fujii Miyuki came to her senses a little.

"Thank you for today, Fujii."

Sawayama Haruno turned his head to look over and wanted to say thank you, but was brushed off by Fujii Miyuki's hasty "It's okay". The other person hurried into the house first, leaving Sawayama Haruno standing outside with the other two girls with a confused look on his face.

"Did I say something I shouldn't have said?"

Sawayama Haruno looked at the few people with some confusion.

Jiang Qizhiye remained silent, and Ayano Yui at the side spoke up first: "This is where your problem lies, brother!"

".What's the problem?"

Sawayama Haruno thought back to his behavior along the way and felt that he didn't say anything very rude, and didn't he answer all the questions the other party asked him properly?

It's unlikely that I accidentally made Fujii Miyuki unhappy.

"Haruno, there's nothing wrong. Come home and eat."

Ezaki Suguha said calmly: "I feel a little hungry too."

"Really? Then go back."

Zeshan Haruno didn't think any more about it and took a few people back.

It is indeed like what Ezaki Suguha said, it is not his problem, it is just another small misunderstanding. Who can explain such a thing as secret love? No wonder he blames Sawayama Haruno for being too nice. Does he have to put on a bad attitude?

No one knew the answer, not even Fujii Miyuki, who ran back home first.

The aunts and uncles in the living room had already left. Fujii Eina was busy in the kitchen. When she heard her daughter coming back, she poked her head out of the kitchen and asked in surprise, "Where did you go? Why did you disappear all of a sudden?"

"nothing!"

Miyuki Fujii hurried upstairs and went straight to her room.

It was not until she fell into the warm and comfortable bed that she realized that the bottle of soy sauce was still in her hand.

"what the hell"

Miyuki Fujii bit her lips tightly.

The room was quite quiet, with only the sound of cooking coming from the kitchen downstairs, just like any other ordinary sound.

The sound of cooking and Ako Sawayama's complaints could be heard from the kitchen.

"I asked you to borrow some soy sauce, but it took you a long time to come back. Now we are just starting to cook the shrimps, and we don't even know when they will be ready."

"The neighbor next door is out of soy sauce too, what can we do?"

Sawayama Haruno stood at the door of the kitchen, shrugged and said, "Do you need my help?"

"No, go upstairs and check on Maki." Sawayama Ako turned around and rolled her eyes at him, then said leisurely, "I can handle the kitchen matters by myself, you might as well go upstairs and check on little Maki, she seems to be on the phone with her family."

"Her."

Sawayama Haruno stroked his chin and said nonchalantly, "Should they be talking about tomorrow's trip to Osaka?"

Miyazawa Maki's parents will arrive a day later than them, and are probably discussing the exact time of their arrival. The hotel and other things have been booked in advance, but the restaurant where the two families will dine together has not been booked yet. Sawayama Haruno will have to find time to call and arrange it later.

"tomorrow"

Ayako Sawayama didn't stop her hands, but suddenly she sighed.

"I don't know why, but I suddenly feel a little nervous."

"I'm not nervous, why are you nervous?" Sawayama Haruno said with a twitch of his lips.

"I feel angry because I saw that you are not nervous but I am extremely nervous." Ayako Sawayama turned around and glared at him.

"Forget it, let's talk about Mingting's matter tomorrow. However, you still have to make some preparations for your marriage with Maki. The house you live in now is still rented, right?" asked Ako Sawayama.

"Yeah, but I'm planning to buy a house."

"Do you have enough money? If not, your family can still provide you with some support." Sawayama Ako paused and said calmly, "Don't look at me and your father like this, but in fact, our family has set aside some money for your future life."

She had been saving money for this with Sawayama Haruno's father for a long time.

Ordinary islanders rarely do this because even if parents want to transfer the house or give it to their children, they have to pay a huge transfer tax. But not being able to transfer it does not mean that they cannot provide some financial assistance. At least it is no problem to give some money privately to their children to buy a house or a car.

Compared to ordinary families, Zeshan's family is actually quite wealthy. After all, their ancestors have lived here for generations, and she and her husband don't have much to spend money on a daily basis.

Haruno was a very worry-free child. When he was studying in Tokyo, he rarely asked for living expenses. Therefore, when he had saved up a lot of money, he thought of taking this opportunity to give it all to the other party.

But it is obvious that Sawayama Haruno has no such idea.

He was silent for a moment before casually saying, "Don't worry, you can keep that money for traveling with your father later. I've started working after all, so it's my turn to provide for your retirement."

"Just take good care of Maki. Your father and I don't need this."

Ayako Sawayama looked at him with some disdain, which made Sawayama Haruno very helpless. He thought that he should find an opportunity to tell his parents about his current income so that they would not always worry about him.

Chapter 343 Why are you wearing my clothes?

Dinner wasn’t ready until around seven o’clock, and by the time the family finished eating, it was already past nine o’clock in the evening.

The sky in Quannan City seemed to get darker faster. In addition, there were not many people in the town in winter. It was difficult to see shops open after nine o'clock. Therefore, no one wanted to go out shopping.

But Ayako Sawayama had different ideas.

"Do you want to take Maki and the others to the public bath downstairs?"

Sawayama Ako looked at her son and saw that he was absent-mindedly sitting on the sofa playing with his phone. She said earnestly, "It would be more comfortable to go to a larger public bath in this weather, right?"

Sento is actually a public bathhouse in the island country. Because most public baths are private and charge a fee, you have to pay to bathe, so it is also called Sento.

What Ako Sawayama meant was that she felt the small bathhouse in her own home was not large enough to accommodate several guests.

Ayano Yui is not so bad, but Miyazawa Maki and Ezaki Suguha are used to living in Tokyo, and may not be used to the simple bathhouses in their small place. In this case, it would be better to let Sawayama Haruno take them to the public bath downstairs to take a bath.

Although it may seem a bit strange, it is actually a very reasonable behavior in the island country. In fact, most areas of the island country have the habit of taking a bath in public baths.

Firstly, sento baths are very cheap these days, and secondly, the bathing conditions in sento baths are not very bad. To put it bluntly, they are just a weakened version of a bathing center. Many anime and comics have plots where the protagonists go to sento baths, and Sawayama Haruno actually went to such places to take a bath when he was a child.

“It doesn’t matter.”

After hearing what his mother said, Sawayama Haruno subconsciously looked upstairs.

Several girls were still making the mattress upstairs. Now there were only him and his mother downstairs, while his father had gone out to drink tea and chat with the neighbors.

He thought about it and said casually: "Forget it, since you said so, I'll go up and ask them too."

There was no harm in asking, and besides, he saw that the three girls seemed to be very energetic. They were probably in a very excited mood after arriving in Osaka, just like when they were traveling.

Although there wasn't really anything to see at night, it seemed like a good idea to take them to experience a public bath. Maki and Suguha probably had never been exposed to such a thing.

Thinking of this, Sawayama Haruno no longer hesitated, stood up and walked upstairs.

There are three rooms upstairs, two large and one small. The small one is used as a storage room, where a lot of things in the house are stored. The remaining two large rooms, one is Sawayama Haruno's bedroom, and the other is Ayano Yui's bedroom. As for his parents' room and the bathroom and kitchen of the house, they are all on the first floor.

It can be said to be a very standard rural wooden house building. Most of the houses here were built with money paid for by local residents, and are basically decorated in this style. Sawayama Haruno lived in an apartment in Tokyo for a long time, and now he is a little uncomfortable living here.

"Maki, Suguha?"

After going upstairs, Sawayama Haruno called out the two people's names, but the slightly nervous voice coming from inside made him stop where he was.

"Wait, wait! You're not allowed to come in until it's finished!"

"What are you doing again?"

Sawayama Haruno immediately frowned and stared at his room suspiciously.

"It's a little secret between girls, you better not come in, bro."

Ayano Yui's smiling voice came from inside.

However, the more she said this, the more unsure Zeshan Haruno felt. After all, similar plots had happened countless times, and it went without saying that nothing good would happen if they got together.

After thinking for a moment, Sawayama Haruno felt that he couldn't just let them mess around in his room, so he decisively called out another name.

"Suguha, are you in there too?"

"Yeah, Haruno"

Suguha Ezaki was relatively obedient. She answered and prepared to open the door, but a loud argument was heard from inside.

"Wait a minute Suguha, I haven't changed my clothes yet."

"Hey, Maki-san's movements are too slow. I don't mind, but Suguha, do you really want to open the door wearing this?"

"I opened."

Suguha Esaki's extremely calm voice sounded, and then she decisively opened the door.

However, the situation reflected in Sawayama Haruno's eyes made him stunned for a moment.

The originally cool and charming Ezaki Suguha, for the first time ever, wore a men's uniform.

She tied her hair into a high ponytail that she hadn't worn for a long time. Her clean and refreshing look made people unable to take their eyes off her, but this was not what surprised Sawayama Haruno the most. What really puzzled him was the black and green student uniform she was wearing.

"Why are you wearing my middle school uniform?"

Sawayama Haruno was stunned.

Although it was several years ago, he still hasn't forgotten what his junior high school uniform looked like. Besides, he spent nearly 100,000 yen on the uniform, so it's hard to forget the impression.

"Just trying."

Suguha Ezaki explained calmly, then made way for him, and Sawayama Haruno's gaze followed him into the bedroom.

Miyazawa Maki was holding up her black student skirt and glaring at him angrily, while Ayano Yui beside her also changed into junior high school clothes, which were, as expected, Sawayama Haruno's own.

The three beautiful girls played a dress-up game in his room, all wearing the junior high school uniforms of Haruno Sawayama. If nothing unexpected happened, the one on Maki Miyazawa should be the one left by Yui Ayano.
