Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home Chapter 588

  Chapter 588 The real thing

  —Padang.

   Gently knocked on the door to isolate the picture inside.

   Kato Yusuke took a deep breath, letting the cold air flow into the deep nasal cavity.

   There was no one in the deserted outdoor, and the emptiness added to the chill, but he didn't care at all.

  Since just now, his blood flow rate has risen sharply, and his body is hot.

  The sound of the wind knocking on the window in the cold night, and the hustle and bustle of people at the station, seemed to be far away at the other end of the sky.

  He kept taking deep breaths repeatedly, and the rest of the sound could not reach his ears.

  The body is so heavy that it doesn't seem to belong to me.

  The inside of my thirsty mouth became sticky.

  He wished he could escape home immediately, or go somewhere to get drunk. Exile yourself in the depths of the dark night where you can't see your fingers, so as to escape reality and feel lost.

   However, things have changed...

  When he thought of those who were by his side when he let himself down, he couldn't let himself go without letting them down.

   Kato Yusuke stretched out a trembling hand and took out the phone from his pocket.

  Hands that were blown by the cold wind became cold.

  「Yingli pear」

  「Shibsenpai」

  「Little Kano」

  「Akane Takasaka」

  In the unknowingly increasing contact list, he dialed Xiao Jianai's number.

  beep~

  After a brief busy tone, the gentle and gentle voice of the person concerned came from the receiver.

   "Kato-kun?"

  Yusuke Kato sorted out his mood, and said in a relaxed tone as much as possible: "...Good evening, the moonlight is beautiful."

   Click, some kind of faint knocking sound from the phone.

   Slowly, the woman responded with a softer voice.

   "Well, the wind is also gentle~"

"Are you occupied?"

   "Fortunately, I'm sorting out the materials at home."

"organising materials…?"

   "Well, I looked at a few outsourcing companies and got some reference cases and quotations from them. I thought I would show them to you after sorting them out."

   "It's so late, don't work too hard."

   "It's okay, nothing hard~"

  Kanoko Hasami said with a smile: "I didn't start working until I got home, took a comfortable bath and had dinner. This level of intensity is much worse than when I used to prepare lessons."

   Hearing the joy in the other party's words, Kato Yusuke didn't want to spoil her interest, so he forced himself to continue talking.

   "That's it! So what did you have for dinner?"

   "Salad, curry rice, and miso soup. Xiao Xi said you liked this very much when we got together last time, so I asked her for tips. I will cook it for you next time~"

   "...Xiao Xi has studied in a special school, and the difficulty may be very high."

   "Well, don't you underestimate a woman who cooks for herself for a long time in order to save money?"

   "Nothing, I also like the cooking made by Kano."

  Maybe he acted well, Hasumi Kanoko giggled happily.

   "By the way, Mrs. Maria and I saw a winter coat when we were shopping yesterday. I bought it because I thought it suited you very well. I will bring it to you later or come and get it when you are free."

   "Well, good. Sorry, no Christmas presents for you."

   "It's okay, I'm already very happy that you have this kind of intention. Besides, you still have to participate in the bow competition. It's hard work."

"thanks…"

  Suddenly, their conversation stopped.

   "...Kato-kun?"

  Kanoko Renami asked: "What's wrong with you?"

   "No, nothing."

   "Lies."

   Kato Yusuke couldn't help being startled by the slap in the face, and fell silent.

  'It's obvious that you've concealed it well until just now…'

  He thought so, and responded at the same time.

   “…well, I'm just a little tired from the competition.”

"is that so…?"

  Kanoko Renjian asked suspiciously: "Then what's the matter with you calling?"

   After a short silence, Kato Yusuke answered her as cheerfully as possible.

   "It's nothing, just look at what you are doing, nothing else. In short, don't stay up too late for work, remember to go to bed early."

   "Well~ I know, so do you."

  Lian saw Kanoko paused, then whispered, "...Also, I miss you too."

  The two said good night to each other, and then ended the call.

  Yusuke Kato looked at the phone screen and was silent for a while.

  He originally wanted to chat with Xiao Jianao, but since he knew that the other party was busy, he couldn't selfishly go to disturb her.

   What's more, it seems inappropriate to bring your negative emotions to those around you without authorization.

   There was a little loneliness in the open space in front of the apartment.

   looked up inadvertently.

   The ice-like moon floats in the distant sky.

  Basically.

  Whether it is yesterday, today, tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow, tragic moments of helplessness are happening in the world.

  Unfortunately, the hands of the clock don't stop for people's mourning.

  Even if I wash my hair and take a bath after returning home, eat tasteless meals, sleep under the quilt and cry again, and spend sleepless nights, the world still goes on as usual.

  So people continue to wash their faces, brush their teeth, and start a new day.

  He survived like this.

  No one can share with him.

   But in fact—

  From the moment he met Sayu, Kato Yusuke felt a tsunami in his heart. He stood there quietly without letting anyone know.

   But no matter how hard he tried to hide it, there was still a wound in Dao's heart that was open, and bright red blood gurgled out from there.

   It's like a solitary book kept in memory.

  He began to waver in his heart, whether he should continue reading and see the end of the story.

  Especially when he saw the other person's crying expression, he felt his chest was tightly grasped, and he couldn't help but want to move his eyes away, but at the same time wanted to get closer.

after all-

   That was the girl he once regarded as his life.

  However, he couldn't become Sayu's favorite Iwanami classmate after all.

  In the final analysis.

  It was nothing more than an out-and-out fake, not the real thing he was after.

   Something was distorted, and it was distorted by himself. This is the result of his own choice, and he has to digest the bitter fruit alone.

  Everything is fine for Sayu now, and there is no need to worry about the past.

  —Even if it was something real that mattered to him.

so.

  He hasn't forgotten anything, but some things are only suitable for collection.

   Can't say, can't think, but can't forget.

  Thinking of this, Kato Yusuke let out a deep breath.

   Something rolled and rolled in his chest, and there was some kind of spasm-like pain in his stomach, which made his face turn pale.

  At this time, a girl's voice suddenly called him from behind.

   "... President?"

  While speaking, the person concerned already ran up.

   Kato Yusuke looked sideways.

  The light gray casual jacket kept flapping, revealing the same color loose trousers underneath, and a pair of furry snow boots on the feet, looking very warm.

   Needless to say, the person who came was Xinjoxiang.

   "Good evening, President~ I have everything ready... eh?"

   Seeing the bitterness remaining on his face, the girl stopped abruptly in the middle of her speech, and stopped there for a while, wondering if she dared not approach him.

  Kato Yusuke clenched the clothes on her abdomen, focused her eyes on the paper bag in her hand, and asked pantingly, "...what's inside?"

   "Well, there is a new set of pajamas and disposable underwear, shampoo and shower gel, toothbrush and toothpaste, towels and bath towels, and I also took a new facial cleanser... that's about it."

   "...Understood, you go. If she needs anything, try to take care of her."

   "Well~ I see."

  Xinjoxiang nodded happily, but instead of acting immediately, she looked at him worriedly.

   "By the way, are you okay, President? Your complexion looks so bad, is there something uncomfortable?"

   "It's nothing, just do what you should do."

   Kato Yusuke's voice was low and his face was livid.

  Xintiaoxiang hesitated for a while, and then asked: "What about you, the president? Where do you plan to go next?"

   "...I'm going home, please tell me if there is anything, that's it."

   Kato Yusuke waved his hand and said, then dragged his heavy body, preparing to leave.

   "Ah, you wait a moment, President."

  Xin Tiaoxiang ran up quickly and stopped in front of him.

   "It's still snowing outside, and even the trams are out of service, don't you plan to just walk home like this?"

   Kato Yusuke was silent, waiting for her next words.

   "Although this is just my suggestion, you should stay here tonight, President. Anyway, "Room 202" is still vacant. "

  Paused, Xinjoxiang added: "Besides, if there is any unexpected situation with that girl, I can also notify you, the president."

   Kato Yusuke glanced at the apartment behind, and asked in thought: "Where is Xiaoxi..."

   "The child went to bed early, after all, she is not good at staying up late."

  Xin Tiaoxiang said as he took out a key from his pocket and handed it to him.

   "By the way, this is the key to "202", I took it just in case. President, don't stand here and suffer from the cold, hurry up and soak in a hot bath, it will be more comfortable~"

   "Then, I'll go see that girl first. See you later~"

  As soon as she finished speaking, she trotted towards "Room 101".

  Because of this, Kato Yusuke took the key and came to the room on the second floor.

  Take off your snow-wet shoes at the door.

   Walked into the living room with legs that were filled with lead.

  The lights were not turned on, and he just sat down on the floor.

  In the slightly deserted room, the layout is basically similar to other rooms.

  The room was shrouded in silence, only the north wind outside made the windows rattle, and the indoor temperature dropped very low.

  Once he calmed down, his thoughts began to grow freely like vines in the deep forest, making him inevitably concerned about the things downstairs.

   While he was sitting here, Sayu she—

  Is she still crying?

  Is Xinjoxiang comforting her?

  Will his attitude just now be too hurtful?

  I want to confirm one thing after another.

  Even though he couldn't do that, he still couldn't help caring about the other party.

  The past events played back in his mind one by one, accompanied by an indescribable sense of guilt and sorrow, which severely condemned his heart.

   Rationality and sensibility collide with each other, making the internal organs feel like they are being burned.

  In order to suppress the unrestrained emotions, Kato Yusuke struggled to stand up from the ground, and decided to take a bath to calm himself down.

  He walked into the bathroom and closed the door.

  Take off the clothes that have become wet and cold, and come under the shower head.

   Turn on the tap.

  The shower fixed at a high place immediately sprinkles cold water.

  Yusuke Kato put his hands against the wall, letting the cold water splash on his head, and the chill pierced his bones.

"…Well."

  The sobs that had been suppressed with great difficulty in front of Sayu welled up in his throat again.

  The water flowing down the cheeks flowed into the mouth, and the tip of the tongue suddenly felt a strong salty taste.

even so-

  He must also face tomorrow with the guilt of hurting Sayu and the decision to refuse.

  Even if it is only a small step, he has to move forward.

  If he has been stagnant, he would be too sorry for those girls who have always supported him and saved him.

  He thought, this must be the end of him.

   Until this time, he still couldn't face his feelings.

  He raised his head and brushed his hair up, and the gradually hotter water continued to pour on his body.

  No matter what, he wanted to pursue the real thing.

  Because he didn't bring any clothes that could be changed and washed, Kato Yusuke had no choice but to wear a bath towel for the time being.

   After he walked out of the bathroom, the room that was supposed to be dark was lit up now.

  In the living room.

  Xin Tiaoxiang was kneeling in front of the low table with her hands on her chin, and she didn't know when she came.

   "Ah, have you washed yet? Chairman."

  Seeing him coming out, the other party stood up naturally and walked over with a suit of clothes.

   "Sorry, I came in with a spare key without permission. I don't think the president should have any clothes to change. I bought these in advance, please put them on~"

   Without saying anything, Kato Yusuke lowered his head and took his clothes back to the bathroom to change, and then came to the living room again.

  When he came back, there were already two mugs on the table, and white air was rising from them.

   "Here's coffee, President."

  Xinjoxiang smiled and pushed a cup over, "I'm sorry, I can't turn on the machine because Xiaoxi is still sleeping, so I only made instant ones, is that okay?"

   Kato Yusuke nodded, reached out to take the cup, and asked, "...how is it going down there?"

  Xinjoxiang's eyes flashed strangely, and she murmured "Mmm."

   "About this, I think basically there is no problem~"

   "Although the girl was a little emotional at the beginning, she stopped crying immediately after seeing someone."

   "When I handed those things to her, she even said thank you to me, so strong."

   She picked up her own hot milk, took a sip, and said as if nothing had happened:

   "However, I thought the president just picked someone from the street, but I didn't expect it to be the girl I met in Chiba County last time. I was shocked."

   Kato Yusuke lowered his head and drank his coffee without explaining.

   After a while, he spoke.

   "...If you are okay, take her to a safer hotel tomorrow until it is confirmed that she has left."

   Thank you【Juejiyuan】for your tip.
