MTL - Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home-Chapter 621 wake up call
Chapter 621 Wake up
the other side.
Just as Kato Yusuke thought, Eriri was indeed troubled.
With this feeling in mind, she went directly to the boy.
"Yusuke! Are you free next? I have something I want to talk to you..."
It was time to get off work at that time, Kato Yusuke was about to send Shiwa home, but was stopped.
On the red-stained street at dusk, three people stared at each other with big eyes.
"Sawamura-san is calling you, huh? Yu-chan."
"Well, I hear you, it's just..."
Kato Yusuke said a little apologetically, "I'm sorry, Eiriri, I promised Shiba-senpai that I would send her back. If you have anything to do, can we talk on the phone later?"
"But... I think this matter must be told to you face to face..."
Ying Lili pursed her lips tightly, grasped the shoulder bag strap in her hand, and stared down at her toes.
"Otherwise... I can wait for you here, or I can go to you after you are over."
Feeling the persistence in her tone, Yusuke Kato had a vague guess in his heart, and was embarrassed for a while.
Shi Yu first glanced at the lover beside him, and then at Ying Lili who was frowning in front of her, a flash of understanding flashed in her eyes.
"Well~ Since Sawamura-san has said so, then Yuu-chan, you can go and accompany her."
""what? ""
Facing the surprised eyes of the two, Shi Yu waved his hands indifferently, and said: "You don't need to see me off today, I will take a taxi back by myself, that's all."
"Shiba-senpai...?"
Yusuke Kato grabbed her hand and suggested: "If you don't mind, let's go together, and I'll talk to Eriri after I send you off."
"Huh? Don't worry, I don't mean to be angry. I just ask you to deal with the problem. You don't have to make it so troublesome."
Shi Yu paused at this point, and stretched out a slender finger to poke his chest, narrowing his eyes slightly.
"But relatively... you have to take me home tomorrow, and you must not be disturbed by anyone, is that okay?"
"tomorrow…?"
"That's right, can it be done~?"
There was a rare seriousness in his joking voice, as if he was planning something.
Kato Yusuke looked at the girl in front of him, then nodded slowly, "Okay, I remember."
"That's good~ Then be careful on the road, and remember to tell me when you get home, we will make a video call."
"Understood, Shiba-senpai is also careful on the road."
"Well~ I will."
Shiyu raised the corners of her mouth in satisfaction, and cast a meaningful look at Yinglili who was beside her.
"By the way, although I made an exception and lent you Yu-chan, but if you want to talk about things, talk about things, don't do too much, okay? Sawamura."
"Huh? No—!" Ying Lili denied reflexively.
"That's how it is, remember to thank me well, Sawamura."
"You say that, even if you feel that way, you don't want to do it!"
"Really ~ that's up to you."
Shi Yu brushed the hair on her shoulders casually, walked forward neatly, and soon stopped a taxi at the intersection, and then disappeared from the eyes of the two of them.
…
after that-
Kato Yusuke and Eirika moved to a nearby small park.
Although it was only a choice based on the principle of proximity, when they came here, a group of children were playing inside.
"Hmm... It seems a bit unfortunate. What should I do? Yinglili, do you want to change the place?"
"Huh, why?"
"Don't you have something to talk about? Won't the noise here affect you?"
"...No, I'm fine, just over here."
"Then you sit down first, I'll go buy something to drink."
"Ok…"
Just like that, Ying Lili sat down on the bench by the fence absent-mindedly.
Unknowingly, the sky darkened, and the temperature was much colder than during the day.
The faded swing was blown by the wind, making a groan.
The girl stared aimlessly at the child playing football in front of her, thinking about what to say next.
At this moment, a calm voice came from above the head.
"Here you go, corn juice."
"Thanks... no, why corn juice!?"
"Because the vending machines here don't have hot black tea."
"I can drink room temperature?"
Kato Yusuke sat down beside him, and casually replied: "It's cold, drinking something hot is good for your health."
He thinks so from the bottom of his heart.
Although the time series has almost entered February, it is still winter in Tokyo at this moment, and the temperature has not yet warmed up.
Staying outside for a long time in this environment...
With Ying Lili's weak physique, it's hard for him not to wonder if the other party will fall ill with a cold or a fever. After all, similar situations have not happened before, which is really worrying.
"..."
Ying Lili looked at the corn juice in her hand and his face in turn, and felt a warm feeling in her heart, but she still said stubbornly:
"But you obviously bought yourself oolong tea..."
"Our situation is different, I will not get sick."
"What, your annoying statement..."
The girl pouted in dissatisfaction, and Kato Yusuke asked directly.
"So, what do you want to say to me?"
Ying Lili didn't expect that he would cut to the point all of a sudden, she was caught off guard for a while, and her mind went blank.
At this time...
"I'm fine from now on, so you can talk slowly. It's okay." Kato Yusuke took a sip of oolong tea, speaking as if nothing had happened.
"Then...can I ask you about the past few days?"
"I don't have a reason to refuse, do I?"
"... What do you think about Lunye?"
"In other words, are you worried that I won't let him back?"
"…what?"
Ying Lili unconsciously opened her mouth and peeked at his profile. There was no surprise on the boy's face, as if he had guessed her troubles a long time ago.
Her heart tightened, and she couldn't help but grab the master's sleeve.
"That...! I don't mean to defend Ren Ye by saying this. I think from the bottom of my heart that what happened this time is all his fault.
Whether it was annoying people or missing work, it was all his fault, and he really went too far.
I will definitely ask him to apologize to you and everyone in the future! So... so... can you not be too mad at him? "
The melodious voice was full of embarrassment, as if it took all the courage to say such a thing.
Kato Yusuke looked at her lowering her head, feeling like she was looking at a kitten that did something wrong, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"Ask An Yi to apologize or something, you don't have to force yourself to do that."
"Eh?"
“I don’t deny that I was a little annoyed at the time, but it wasn’t enough for me to remember it until the next day, let alone be angry.”
"But, but... He obviously said such exaggerated words to you! He should apologize to you!"
"Even if you say that, do you think you can influence An Yi?"
"—!"
Ying Lili couldn't help being startled, but immediately tightened her face, and said very seriously: "...Maybe I can't guarantee it, but I will try my best to do it!"
Kato Yusuke glanced at her, and smiled with some nerve-wracking smile.
"Thank you for your kindness, but you don't have to force or wrong yourself for me, and I don't want you to do that, so no need."
"but…"
"As I just said, I'm not angry now, and I won't target him because of it. Regarding An Yi, I have no personal grudges with him, and I have no objection to his return."
"Yusuke..."
Ying Lili murmured in astonishment, her whole face suddenly glowing.
Honestly speaking, watching her former childhood sweetheart break out with the boy she likes and turn against each other... She was really completely dumbfounded at the time.
What I thought was a small fight at first, but now it can't be easily ended. She was forced to be caught in the middle, in a dilemma.
But fortunately...
The people around her seemed to understand her very well, and they tolerated her with their usual gentleness, calming her inner anxiety and anxiety.
Like a beam of scorching sun piercing through the clouds, it instantly dispelled all the haze.
At this time, the boy spoke again.
"In short, if this is the only thing you want to talk about, go home early. If you stay any longer, it will be dark."
"Huh...but I haven't finished my corn juice yet."
"Then drink quickly."
Yinglili wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction, picked up the corn juice and drank it.
"Hey, Yusuke."
"What's up?"
"Thank you…"
"I don't remember doing anything I need you to thank."
"Speaking of which...you just said that you have no personal grievances with Lun?"
"Is there any problem with this statement?"
The girl Kato Yusuke stared at suddenly blushed, stared at her toes, and asked in a low voice, "Then... don't I...?"
"what??"
"Because, because, Kasumigaoka Shiwa said that kind of thing that day, I thought about it later, it seems to be talking about me..."
Ying Lili's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally completely silent.
"...that kind of words?"
Kato Yusuke frowned deeply, instinctively began to recall.
In the next second, an impressive sentence suddenly appeared in my mind.
「Seeing the girl you like fall in love with someone who is better than you, does it stimulate your small self-esteem?」
His expression froze suddenly, and then he smiled wryly.
"...I think that's just Shiba-senpai's unintentional remark, you don't need to pay too much attention to it, and I don't take it too seriously."
"Ha, ha!? I didn't care that much, it was just because Kasumigaoka Shiyu said that, which made me unable to sit idly by, so..."
Ying Lili argued incoherently, and the roots of her ears gradually turned red.
It was rare for her to appear so shaken.
Kato Yusuke pretended not to understand the reason for her shyness, and deliberately looked away, watching the children playing ball in the open space, making exaggerated noise and laughter.
He wishes he could handle it better, he wishes he could be smarter.
Although it is difficult to take care of everything, he still wants to be the support of those important people.
◇
After leaving the small park, Ying Lili returned home.
"I'm back, Mom."
"Ah, welcome back, Yinglili."
In the living room, Sayuri Sawamura was sitting on the sofa watching TV, when she heard her daughter's voice, she glanced at the clock.
"You are a bit late today, did you go somewhere?"
"Hmm~~"
Ying Lili put on her slippers, walked to her mother with light steps, and sat down on the sofa.
"I chatted with Yusuke when I got back, so it took a while."
"Hey, are you and Kato-kun?"
"Ok."
"Just the two of you?"
"That's right, didn't I just say that?"
"Dating…?"
"That's not it! It's just a casual chat, nothing special."
The girl took a pillow and hugged her in her arms as she spoke, stretched her legs lazily, leaned her body backwards, and nestled comfortably in the sofa.
Sayuri Sawamura looked at her daughter's upturned mouth, and turned her head slightly curiously.
"You seem to be very happy, did something good happen?"
"It's not a good thing, it's just a matter of the studio."
"What is it? Tell mom too~"
"Eh~~~?"
Ying Lili dragged her long voice reluctantly, but she couldn't resist her mother's shining eyes, so she muttered helplessly.
"I really can't do anything about you..."
Just like that, she told her mother the whole story.
At first, Sayuri Sawamura was still smiling happily, but her expression changed halfway through the hearing, and she showed an expression of not knowing what to say.
Even so, she still listened patiently, and only reluctantly opened her mouth after her daughter had finished speaking.
"Ahh... this is a bit bad."
"Who said it wasn't?"
Ying Lili echoed as if she couldn't bear it: "Obviously Yusuke has taken care of everyone, but Lun also talks about him so much, he really doesn't know what is good or bad."
"I don't deny An Yi-jun's problem, but... your approach is also very problematic?"
"what-?"
Looking at her daughter who looked at her with a dazed expression, Sayuri Sawamura felt powerless in her heart, and wished she could play in person.
"Alas... It seems that my precious daughter hasn't understood her problem until now. Who is your sluggishness?"
"Too much!? No, mom, what do you mean by that—?"
"Mom just wanted to ask, what on earth are you thinking to go to Kato-kun and talk about An Yi-kun?"
"what…?"
"Could it be that you still have a crush on An Yijun?"
"How is this possible—!"
"Otherwise, why would you help An Yi-kun to plead with Kato-kun?"
"I just…!"
Ying Lili raised her voice unconsciously, and immediately suppressed it.
"Because, someone else said... It seems that it is because of my relationship that they made such a mess..."
"Are you referring to the girl who wrote the novel?"
"…Ok."
"So, you think that the reason why Kato-kun and Aki-kun broke up is because of your relationship, so you want them to reconcile?"
"Hmm... isn't it...?"
Looking at her daughter who nodded hesitantly, Sayuri Sawamura couldn't help but smile wryly.
"About this question, do you think so?"
"…I have no idea."
"Then let me change the question, which of the two of them do you think is more important?"
"Who is more important...?"
Eriri murmured, then lowered her head timidly, "...it's Yusuke."
Sayuri Sawamura relaxed her heart slightly, and then straightened her face.
"Since this is the case, how can you plead for other boys in front of Kato-kun?"
"Eh... can't it be?"
"If you don't understand... then, if one day you have a conflict with that girl who wrote a novel, and Kato-kun came to you to intercede for her..."
"-I do not want!"
The overly specific explanation shocked Ying Lili, and she subconsciously shouted, her whole body suddenly started up, and her small face instantly turned pale.
"I don't want to do that, I will feel so annoying..."
"Right?"
Sayuri Sawamura gently took her daughter's hand and held it in her hand, speaking in a soft voice.
"So, even if it's just out of goodwill, you must never swing between two people.
Mom is not saying this to force you to choose which side, but you need to know.
Between Kato-kun and Aki-kun, they alone will become important people in your life, and each of them will only be a passer-by in your life.
What to do in this situation, you should understand, right? "
"Mother…"
Ying Lili unconsciously clenched her mother's hand, and fell into deep thought for a while.
"Although mother feels that An Yi-jun is making trouble for no reason from the beginning to the end, but..."
Sayuri Sawamura stopped here, and then continued in an exhorting tone:
"When the boy you like has a dispute with someone, no matter right or wrong, you must stand firmly on Kato-kun's side. If you don't know how to do this, just think about the girl who wrote the novel Let's go~"
"—!"
Ying Lili opened her eyes slightly, unable to speak.
Mother's words were like a slap in the face, knocking her original happy mood to pieces, and her whole person was dragged back to reality.
Look what she did?
Not only talking about the opposite **** in front of the person I like, pleading for others, but even complacent about it afterwards, thinking that I have successfully resolved a conflict...
—The result is not the case at all! !
As mom said, she was just mean to put pressure on that guy.
Yusuke Kato just watched and listened to her expectations, and committed himself to fulfilling her wishes during the time when there was no reason to be happy.
Thinking about it, it feels like falling to the bottom of the sad valley.
Ying Lili felt that her blood was gone, and an inexplicable panic hit her heart.
In fact, she vaguely discovered it long ago.
—She, who was only satisfied unilaterally, couldn't repay Kato Yusuke at all.
The appearance inherited from her parents is her only strength, but her unruly and self-willed duplicity is completely unpopular.
They just shortened the distance a little by taking advantage of their interest in painting.
She told him what she wanted, and kissed him too.
She spread out all the cards in her hand on the spur of the moment, what bargaining chips do she have left?
Give him your body?
Will he ignore the more feminine Shi Yu and choose her?
Upgrade your makeup skills?
Want to get sexier?
Still pay more attention to the way he speaks, words and deeds, and find ways to cater to his preferences.
…
Thousands of things get together, and my heart is like a mess.
Bottom line—
"Why does he spoil me so much..."
The thought that came up suddenly turned into words, which flowed out from the lips unconsciously.
"-what?"
Mother's surprised voice rang in her ears, and Ying Lili, who was immersed in her own world, suddenly woke up.
Not caring about so many things, the girl held her mother's hand tightly, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, and asked sadly, "Mom, what should I do?"
"Well, what do you mean...?"
"I seem to have done too much to Yusuke, will he... no! He will definitely hate me, I don't want that—!"
"Oh~ It seems that you have already figured it out, mom is really going to worry about it?"
"What should I do to make it up to him? I haven't heard his answer yet, and I don't want him to alienate me like this."
Facing her daughter's chatter, Sayuri Sawamura smiled and narrowed her eyes, and asked, "In other words, do you still want Kato-kun to stay by your side?"
"I think!"
"Even if he may not accept your intentions, and there are all kinds of attractive girls around you, even so, are you not going to back down?"
"This, this..."
Ying Lili hesitated for a while, her eyes became firm.
"I will stick to it until the day he is willing to face me, absolutely—I will shoot him down!"
"Ah lah~ You speak very powerfully."
"So, what the **** am I supposed to do...?"
Sayuri Sawamura murmured, and joked with a smile: "If you want to say something, you can only promise it with your body?"
"Mom, be more serious, people are seriously worrying!"
"Hey, then... the spring night is short, let's fall in love, girl!"
"What the hell!?"
"It's too much!? How can you talk about mom like that!"
"It's so noisy, hurry up and give me the correct answer!"
The mother and daughter laughed together.
Leonard Spencer, who had just returned home, just walked into the living room. Seeing this scene, an old father's smile appeared on his face.
