Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home Chapter 530

   Chapter 530 The same encounter

  In this way, Kato Yusuke also came to Shinjoka after school on Tuesday, and also brought a gift.

   is mainly a snack that some girls like to eat, and there are also a few packets of coffee beans.

   Through the information that Xiao Xi unintentionally revealed yesterday, he let him know that the other party also likes coffee, so he brought some over.

   Maybe it was because she was bitter about not being able to greet them yesterday. Today's Xiaoxi came to the door to greet them the moment they opened the door.

  The girl just said "Welcome back~" with a soft and healing smile on her face, and then carefully helped them arrange the shoes they took off.

  I didn't go back to the kitchen to continue working until I finished this.

   As promised before, Xiaoxi carefully prepared simple but warm dishes for them.

   The main course is Japanese-style hamburger steak, the side dishes are corn salad and pickled radish, the main course is rice, and there is miso soup.

  Although the overall combination is quite a set meal, the taste is more than a little better than the outside.

   Whether it's a juicy hamburger steak, a refreshing salad and pickled radish, or a stomach-warming miso soup.

  Everything is memorable.

   At least Kato Yusuke eats comfortably.

   The girl really restored the taste he had never forgotten, and quietly touched his heart...

  Because he was mentally prepared in advance, his reaction was not as rude as yesterday, but he was very attentive and quietly enjoying the food.

   And seeing his reaction like this, Xiao Xi was also very happy, with a smile on his face all the time.

   After dinner, she rushed to the kitchen to wash the dishes, while Shinjoka was about to help make coffee, but was stopped by Kato Yusuke.

   "President...?"

   Facing her questioning eyes, the young man responded like this: "You sit down, I'll go take a dip."

   After saying that, he got up and walked to the kitchen, where he came to the coffee machine next to the microwave.

  Although the coffee machine Shinjoka bought is different from the one that Shiyu gave him, the operation method is also similar.

  Open the lid of the bean store, unpack the fresh coffee beans, and pour them in.

  After adjusting the grinding degree, Kato Yusuke was about to look for a cup and milk, but when he turned his head, he happened to meet a small head.

   Probably because he had nothing to do after washing the dishes, the girl was standing beside him at the moment, staring intently at his movements.

   "Xiao Xi...?"

   He asked with some doubts: "What are you doing?"

   "When Yusuke-san was making coffee..."

   Serizawa Yu said while observing, thinking: "It turns out that it all starts with grinding coffee beans. Men are really more particular about these aspects."

  “…Do you like coffee?”

   "Coffee? Hmm! I like it."

The    girl nodded her head for sure and asked, "Hey, can you invite me to drink later?"

   "Well, I'm getting ready to soak right now. Before that, can you bring me the cup, milk jug, and whole milk?"

   "A cup and whole milk? Well, ok!"

   Serizawa Yu said, and immediately brought three mugs, a milk jug, and a bucket of milk.

   "For you~ Yusuke-san."

   "Well, thank you."

   "Will Yusuke-san make coffee for us? Hehe... I'm looking forward to it." The girl said to herself excitedly.

   Kato Yusuke couldn't help laughing because of his lively and cute appearance.

  Prepare a little, pour the milk into the milk jug, and start grinding the beans.

   With the sound of the machine humming, the unsuspecting Serizawa Yu couldn't help but be startled, and his body shook reflexively, and then curiously watched the changes in the coffee beans.

   "Wow, there's a 'clack clack~' sound!"

   "It's grinding after all."

   "Hey, I always feel so amazing~"

   "Have you not seen it before?"

   "Um...no."

The    girl slowly shook her head, "Including the coffee shop, I haven't been to that kind of occasion."

   Kato Yusuke's expression froze slightly, "...Didn't you go there with your friends?"

   Serizawa Yu continued to shake his head, recalling in a dazed tone:

   "No. Because my family has many rules, if I don't go home directly after school, my parents will be angry.

  I'm basically not allowed to go out on holidays... So I didn't even think about going to a coffee shop on my own initiative. "

   As she said that, a bit of loneliness and loneliness appeared on her face involuntarily.

   Kato Yusuke was stunned.

   From the moment when the voice settled, time began to quickly rewind.

  The picture is pulled back frame by frame, and the person in front of him and the girl hidden in his memory gradually overlapped and overlapped.

   In a coffee shop in the past, a girl with a face full of loneliness once looked out the window like this, and said similar words to him in an irrelevant tone.

   At that time, she was sitting opposite him, and heavy light and shadow reflected on her, like a beautiful and dim silhouette behind a thin curtain.

  The sound of the machine was humming, but it was far away in his ears.

   As if his chest was tightened, it was difficult to breathe.

  The girl who has not been loved very much pretends to be optimistic and cheerful, and she is tough like the wild grass that spreads everywhere and is easy to meet.

   As a result, he was only loved a little, and he immediately showed his true shape, eagerly wanting to give him all of himself.

   Even if it is just a barren weed, it does not prevent her from wanting to give him a little more from her barren life.

   Kato Yusuke stood there, not knowing what to do for a while.

   Maybe she felt that her words were too heavy, and the girl spoke softly again.

   "But being able to drink the coffee made by Yu-ge like this... I feel a little happy."

"Um…"

   The dull voice promised her.

  The young man took off the grinded card handle, and used a powder remover and a powder pressing hammer to flatten and compact the powder, and then put the water outlet on the other side to start extraction.

   In order not to let himself continue to think wildly, he took the initiative to explain.

  “…Generally, the number of grams of ground coffee beans is about 18g, and the amount of water extracted is twice that of the powder.”

   "Eh~ is that so?"

Next to   , Serizawa Yu nodded his head while listening, and then asked, "Can you add milk to it after the extraction is complete?"

   It can be seen that she is really interested in the process of brewing coffee, so that a small face is full of seriousness.

  So Kato Yusuke continued to speak without hesitation.

   "It's right to add milk, but not directly into it, you need to froth the milk before that."

   "Froth milk?"

   "Yes, it's steaming with the steam head on the side of the machine. I'll show you how. You stand aside first, and be careful not to get burned."

   "Okay~~~" The girl obediently took a step to the side, widening her eyes to observe, for fear of missing a little detail.

   Kato Yusuke first let the air-conditioning warm up.

   After the temperature rises, the milk froth starts to be made, and at the same time, it is explained carefully.

   "The steam pressure of such a household coffee machine is generally relatively low, so the time will be a little longer. Just whip the milk until it is dense and fine, and the temperature is almost a little hot."

   "Hmmmm~ I remember, and then what?"

   "Then just add it to the coffee."

   As he spoke, he picked up the cup and slowly poured the whipped milk into the espresso.

   After a while, two cups of milk coffee without latte are ready.

   "You try it."

   "Wow~~Thank you Yusuke-san."

   Serizawa Yu happily took the coffee, first put it in front of the nose and smelled it, and a strong aroma rushed to the face.

   "Ah, this smells so good~!"

   "Because it's freshly made, drink it while it's hot and be careful to burn your mouth."

The    girl agreed with a "Yeah!", carefully pressing her soft lips to it, and took a small sip.

   A second passed.

   "Hey, it seems a little sweet? Drink it!"

   Kato Yusuke affirmed her words, "This kind of lightly roasted beans tastes a little sweet and sour, so it is very suitable for girls to drink."

   "Hey, is that so...?"

   Serizawa Yu murmured vaguely, his eyes fell on the two cups, and he suddenly noticed something.

   "Eh, only two cups of coffee?"

   "Well, these two cups are for you and Xintiao, I'll make them myself."

   Kato Yusuke stopped here and asked, "I'm going to use another bean next, do you want to try it out?"

  The girl was stunned at first when she heard the words, and then her eyes burst into brilliance, "I, can I—?"

   "There's nothing wrong, you just saw the steps I did."

   "But, but... If I do something wrong..."

   "—I'll be watching you, so it doesn't matter." The boy was so at ease with her heart.

   After a little hesitation, Serizawa Yu couldn't resist the eagerness in her heart, so she nodded and agreed.

   "Then... can I trouble Yusuke-san?"

"Won't."

  The two switched positions.

After    instructed the girl to clean up the bean warehouse, Kato Yusuke brought her a new bag of coffee beans.

   "This is a bean I often drink. Pour it in first."

"it is good."

   Serizawa Yu did as she was told, and poured the torn packaged coffee beans into the bean bin.

   "Wow, this bean is so dark!"

   "Well, because the coffee beans are dark roasted, the color will appear dark brown." Kato Yusuke explained patiently.

   "The taste of this bean is thick and full, with high bitterness and light acidity. The advantage is that the aftertaste has a strong sweetness, full aroma and rich chocolate taste."

   "So...it's amazing, I feel like Yusuke-san knows a lot!" The girl said with a look of admiration.

   "Anyway, try it out first, and ask me if you don't understand anything."

"Um-!"

   So…

  Imitating what the boy had done before, Yu Serizawa proceeded step by step.

   Grinding beans, pressing powder, extracting…

   Even though it was just some very ordinary things, the girl still did it meticulously, with a concentrated expression on her face.

   Kato Yusuke watched silently beside him, wanting to remind her not to be so nervous, but finally gave up.

  Xinjo incense in the living room watched their interaction, also silently memorizing various points and steps in case of emergency…

   Even though it was the first time to make coffee, Serizawa Yu still showed his ingenious side, and finally made a cup of coffee without any accident.

   "I'm done—! Yusuke-san, is that so?"

   "Well, the steps are all right, take it to the table."

"OK."

   Holding the three cups of coffee brewed, the two returned to the low table.

  Xinjoxiang took some creamer and sugar from the kitchen, and without hesitation, added three packets to his cup of coffee.

   Serizawa Xi, who saw this scene, couldn't help but be surprised: "Wow, Xiaoxiang, you added a lot of sugar and milk, wouldn't it be very sweet?"

   "Who told me to hate bitter things~"

   "I hate bitter things... Uh, so Xiaoxiang doesn't like coffee?"

   Shinjoka smiled and didn't say a word, just stirring his coffee slowly with a spoon.

   Kato Yusuke took a sip of his cup.

  Because of the addition of milk, the taste is smoother than what he usually drinks.

   Just put down the cup, and a pair of slightly nervous eyes looked over.

   "Well, how does it taste...?"

"Um…"

   He pondered for a while: "Basically, that's what I do when I soak it myself, you did a great job."

"real-?"

   "Well, really."

   Like a big stone in his heart fell to the ground, the relieved Serizawa Yu had a smile on his face.

   "That's great... I'm also worried that I'm clumsy and will ruin Yusuke-san's coffee."

   After saying that, he drank his coffee in a relaxed manner.

   "Huh... It's delicious, it feels like an adult."

   Kato Yusuke glanced at her and said, "Those coffee beans that have been opened can't be stored for too long, don't feel embarrassed, you can drink them whenever you want."

   "Ah... um, thank you Yusuke-san."

"Won't."

   "But then again, why does Yusuke-san know so much about coffee?"

   "Because my girlfriend likes coffee, I heard some from her."

After    explained, Kato Yusuke asked abruptly, "Also, Xiaoxi, I have something to ask you."

"what?"

   "I heard something about you from Shinjo before, are you living with your uncle now?"

   "That's right..." Serizawa Yu sat up unconsciously, with a slightly wry smile on his face.

   "Since my parents died, I was adopted by my uncle's family, but our family has always been hated by relatives..."

   "Can you tell me the specific reason?"

   "Well... there's nothing that can't be said."

  The girl paused and said, "Actually, my parents loved to show off before they died, and they were always arrogant to others, so it's normal to be hated."

   Kato Yusuke nodded and continued to ask: "...Then, did your uncle's family do anything excessive to you?"

   "Ahaha, no."

   Serizawa Yu smiled and waved his hand, his voice lowered.

   "Or should I say, it's really nothing... But for a person, being completely ignored is the most uncomfortable..."

   "Totally ignore...?" the boy muttered involuntarily.

   In a sense, this situation is basically the same as Sayu's previous experience, except that the target of the cold violence is different.

   "—Well, totally ignored."

  The girl forced a smile and said, "Maybe I'd rather they do something to me, at least that means they're still interested in me.

   I also tried to get them to forgive me, but it seemed too late. "

When    heard this, Shinjoka, who had been acting relatively quiet, suddenly couldn't help but ask:

   "That's why you ran away from home? To make them pay attention to you."

  Perhaps this question was asked more deeply in his heart, Serizawa Yu couldn't help but fell silent, and lowered his eyes unconsciously.

   "Actually...I also want to be a good boy."

   The girl sighed softly, then raised her gaze again.

   "Wait until Sunday morning and I'll be leaving...so until then, can I practice being a good kid here?"

   Looking at that brave smile, Kato Yusuke didn't say anything, just nodded affirmatively.

  Vaguely, some vague thoughts flashed in his mind…

   Thanks for the 520 reward from 【Knife, Dao Dao Dao】!
