Tokyo Soft Rice King

Hei Yuming hugged his body and showed an expression of unbearable pain.

Shizhimiya and Hong smiled and said.

"Haha, anyway, the first thing I came to you for today, Hei Yu-kun, is to tell you that you should take Ziyin home when you have time. I think you probably also hope to see them reconcile."

Hei Yuming nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I understand. I will convey this to Ziyin. This will definitely be a surprise for her as well."

As a result, the opportunity for reconciliation between mother and daughter was achieved when the daughter got a boyfriend.

Now Ziyin’s family conflicts are gone.

"Then, after Fumiko knew I was coming to see you, she asked me to bring you a message."

"Aunt? What did you say?"

"Well...she asked me to tell you 'Do you think I didn't notice that kid's acting talent?'"

"……what?"

Hey?

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Could this rhetorical question be a mockery of myself?

'I even divorced to prevent Ziyin from entering the entertainment industry, but you still ruined her.' Is that what you mean?

Murasakimiya Kazuhiro, who helped convey this sentence, also thought of the same meaning. Especially since he heard Fumiko say this in person with a "sarcastic tone", he understood the meaning of it even more clearly.

"I think Fumiko is always very 'clear-headed' when it comes to matters related to Shion."

"..."

"Actually, this is another reason why I'm willing to believe Fumiko. That's because she never thought of using her daughter to make money. Especially since she knew her daughter had a talent for acting. Even when life was at its most difficult, she didn't send her daughter into the entertainment industry..."

"So, what do you think... is the reason?"

"I used to think that Fumiko felt that letting Shion enter the entertainment industry would expose her to the hidden rules, so she didn't let her become an entertainer in order to protect her. But now, judging from what I'm about to convey to you, there may be other reasons..."

Hei Yuming suddenly felt like he had opened Pandora's box.

"...Did Auntie say anything else?"

"Yes, she told me to tell you, 'You'd better let Ziyin always love you... Otherwise, she will be consumed by her own talent and will eventually break down.'"

That was a warning from a mother who had raised her daughter from childhood.

Hei Yuming recalled the ability that he had only truly understood today.

Today, the level of text on the right hand side has taken on a whole new meaning.

What is the difference between A and S?

Is S necessarily better than A?

I can’t seem to tell it?

Hei Yuming still hasn't been able to figure out the difference.

I have never seen S-level products truly realize their potential.

In fact, it is caused by a deviation in understanding.

After learning that Ziyin's mother was trying every possible way to prevent her daughter from becoming an entertainer...

Hei Yuming suddenly realized that he was actually "a part of Ziyin's destiny."

'Top' also means 'extreme'.

It can be controlled by others, and in turn devour them...

This is probably the difference between A and S.

If you think that is talent, then it is unparalleled gift.

But if you think it's karma, then it's something you can't get rid of...

curse.

Chapter 274: The Shameless Son-in-Law and the Foxy Father-in-Law

Hei Yuming leaned forward slightly, his brows furrowed into a deep "川" shape, his eyes staring straight at the bar counter, a look of self-blame in his eyes.

He has always been able to guide Ziyin with confidence and arrange various specific matters for her on the premise that... he believes that cooperation with Ziyin is a win-win situation.

He can help Ziyin get enough capital to be independent, and he can also make a profit from it.

As things have developed to this point, when it is clear that Ziyin has fallen in love with him, what Ziyin wants has been specifically pointed to Hei Yuming, but Hei Yuming cannot belong to her alone. This is the first debt.

And now he knows that the talent of Ziyin's right hand contains powerful karma, and there is a "risk" of being swallowed by the talent. This makes Hei Yuming go from being the one who saves her to the one who pushes her into the fire pit. This is the second debt.

Not only was there no way to fulfill Ziyin's wish, but it also caused Ziyin to step into the troubled entertainment industry... Things have developed to this point and it is irreversible.

Even if you tell Shion now to 'give up being an artist', she probably won't agree, because for Shion, this is her biggest asset to compete with Asato Hitomi.

If Kuroba Ming were to force Shion to give up halfway, she might actually break down prematurely.

She lost her life goals, the drive to realize her dreams, and the qualifications to compete with other women.

She turned back into the hollow girl who sat alone in the abandoned temple, hugging her knees. This time, even the container of her heart was about to be damaged.

This is the end of the story...

The only thing he could give Ziyin now was physical comfort.

Give her the purest and ultimate happiness, and let her forget about everything else for a while... Then continue walking on this 'single-plank bridge' where there is no turning back, trying to maintain balance and not let herself 'fall'.

After hugging the class monitor and Ziyin one after another, Hei Yuming became aware that he had become a scumbag.

But he didn't expect that he would become such a scumbag.

The air around him seemed to become heavy and oppressive, and Hei Yuming's breathing became rapid and heavy. His lips trembled unconsciously as he spoke.

"Did I do something... bad to Ziyin?"

Shizumiya Hehong could understand his feelings. He did not think that this was a sign of cowardice on the part of Kuroba Ming, because what he feared most was not failure, but the fear of "hurting important people."

The more sincere you are, the more afraid you will be. This is a fear that will never go away once you fall in love.

"Hei Yu-kun, don't get caught up in self-blame. Before the final outcome is confirmed, no one can say for sure whether things are good or bad, especially you who are involved in it... and Zi Yin."

"..."

"From my personal experience, if you're just feeling 'regret,' that's the most unnecessary emotion. It will only lead you into endless self-torture. So what you need to do is learn how to move from 'regret' to 'let go.'"

"Indeed... you're right. At least Ziyin isn't in trouble right now. What I should be doing is taking precautions instead of complaining about my past choices."

"Yes, and Fumiko has already given you the 'solution' she came up with, right?"

"Yes."

Let Ziyin love you forever...otherwise Ziyin will be broken.

In fact, Kuroba Akira couldn't quite understand the connection between this advice.

If we understand it literally, the mother-in-law is just warning her future son-in-law not to betray Ziyin and not to let her fall into extremes.

But the priority here is a bit strange, it says 'let Ziyin love you', not 'you must love Ziyin'.

To make Ziyin love you...if there are no restrictions, you can use any means.

Lying, deceiving, cheating, hypnosis... no matter how despicable the method is, as long as Shion always maintains her love for her, Aunt Fumiko seems to be emphasizing this point.

Of course, the most correct way should be to give your true heart in exchange for Ziyin's true love.

But what Ziyin wants is definitely not the 'true love that every woman has'.

Saying something like "You are all my wings" lightly and asking for death may end up making Shion completely disappointed in him, and then he will lose Shion's love for him. If this leads to Shion's own destruction, then he is really heading towards the worst BAD ENDING.

However, the advice that Aunt Fumiko...mother-in-law gave to Kuroba Akira is not the only solution.

Hei Yuming has discovered today that the karma of his right hand can be transferred as long as the conditions are met.

If S-level talent is really a curse rather than a blessing, Hei Yuming should find a "scapegoat" to bear this karma instead of Ziyin.

Although this approach also sacrifices someone's life, Hei Yuming is willing to commit this sin for Shion.

Because he is responsible for Ziyin Zizhigong's life.

Seeing that Kuroba Ming's expression quickly recovered from his annoyance, regained his composure and began to think about countermeasures, Shizumiya Kazuhiro once again looked at this young man with admiration.

Although he already knew that Kuroba Akira was a very promising young man, after personally meeting him, he realized the value of Kuroba Akira.

He is not as outspoken as those talented young people, but rather very reserved. He may not be the 'most shining', but he is the 'most suitable'.

Kazuhiro Murasakimiya felt that if he had not married Fumiko and had a stepdaughter, but had already had a biological daughter, he would probably hope that Akira Kuroba would marry his daughter.

The more the father-in-law looks at his son-in-law, the more he likes him.

But one thing is one thing, as a father, he still has to stand on his daughter's side.

"Kuroba-kun, I'm not a person who sticks to formalities. Although I chose to marry Fumiko and give her a complete family, I don't ask you and Shion...you must be like me and Fumiko."

"You...are quite open-minded."

Kuroba Akira heard the hidden meaning in Murasakimiya Kazuhiro's words, which was actually saying "It's up to you whether you get married or not", and the Murasakimiya family will not interfere with their daughter's freedom of love and marriage.

How you live your life is your own business as young people.

A marriage certificate is just a piece of paper, not proof of love between two people.

"Of course, as Ziyin's father, I really hope you can give me a 'promise'. But even if you promise, I won't look at what you say, but what you do afterwards. So, prove with your actions that you can bring happiness to Ziyin."

"I will."

My father-in-law has only one condition: as long as you can make Ziyin happy.

And the happiness here cannot be felt by Hei Yuming, it must be felt by Ziyin.

"So my request actually coincides with Fumiko's advice to you. As long as Shion always likes you and feels happy to be with you, there won't be any conflicts between you and me..."

Hei Yu knew that there must be a "but" after this sentence.

Sure enough, Murasakimiya Kazuhiro showed the most serious expression since this secret meeting. His eyes were intimidating without anger, which put invisible pressure on Hei Yuming.

"I actually don't like threatening people, because I've always believed that even if they're forced to accept something temporarily, if they're still unwilling to accept it, they'll easily betray their original promise in the end... So what I'm going to tell you next is the 'if' that none of us want to see."

"Yes, please go ahead."

"If you, Hei Yuming, hurt my daughter and one day she no longer likes you, doesn't want to see you, and wants to stay away from you, then as Murasaki Shion's father, I will 'absolutely' never let you see her again."

"Is there no room for redemption?"

"If Ziyin is still willing to give you a chance, I won't say anything more... But if things come to the point where 'I have the final say', I won't give you a 'second chance'. You'd better give up the idea of ​​crying and begging me, because by then, the only reason I 'allow' you to continue to exist is because 'Ziyin once loved you'."

"...I understand. It's very clear."

"Well... I'm glad you understand."

After the final warning, the originally rock-hard atmosphere in the bar began to loosen and disintegrate. Murasakimiya Kazuhiro's slightly frowned brows relaxed, the sharpness in his eyes faded, and even the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing the same kind smile as at the beginning.

Who says only women change their expressions quickly? Mature men can change their attitudes just as quickly.

Murasaki Kazuhiro immediately transformed himself from a 'dignified father' to a 'shrewd businessman', and said this after filling a new glass of lemonade for Kuroba Akira.

"Well, let's stop here and talk about 'business', shall we?"

Hei Yuming was unable to react to such a rapid change. He shook his head first, then took a sip of sour lemonade to refresh himself, and then he changed his mind and spoke.

"Do you want to discuss cooperation with me?"

"Yes, I am very interested in the cause you are currently promoting, Kuroba-kun."

"What kind of career do you mean?"

Hei Yuming is now working on many fronts and has a lot of things going on. When Zi Zhigong and Hongti cooperate, the first thing he thinks of is things related to Ziyin.

Maybe the father was worried that the firm his daughter joined was not safe, so he decided to personally fund the construction of an office for her... This is what Kuroba Akira originally thought.

But what was unexpected was that what Murasakimiya and Hiroshi mentioned was actually the "biggest piece of cake" that Kuroba Akira was making.

“It’s the website you’re creating now.”

"How did you know this? We just started not long ago... Did you install a bug in my house?"
