Chapter 60: Toru Izumi regretted it uncharacteristically
Holding Asatsuki Koine's hand, Izumi Toru pushed the door open.
Inside the door, Asatsuki Yosuke was drinking tea, and Asatsuki Haruka was sitting opposite him, making tea.
Asatsuki China was lying on the tatami bored. When she saw Izumi Toru, her eyes lit up, but when she thought of Asuki Haruka being beside her, she closed her eyes again.
Let’s ask him about the comics again later.
We can't let Yao find out.
Asatsuki Yosuke put down his tea, pointed to the futon beside him and said, "Sit down."
"Yes!" Izumi Toru kneeled respectfully next to Asatsuki Yosuke.
Asuki Haruka then raised her head and smiled at Izumi Toru.
"Izumi-san, long time no see."
The frail and pale Asatsuki sat on her knees on a futon. I looked pitiful, but Izumi Toru had not forgotten what she had done.
He lowered his head to her and said, "I'm sorry for the long absence!"
Asatsuki Koine pushed the brewed tea in front of Asatsuki Qianna, knocked on the table again, indicating for her to drink, and then said to Izumi Toru: "How can you lower your head with such a beautiful face? Lift it up."
Izumi Toru raised his head.
Asuki Haruka carefully looked at Izumi Tetsu's handsome and ridiculous face, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Sure enough, he is indeed the man chosen by Hongyin. Even I can't help but fall in love with him."
Asatsuki Yosuke raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything and continued drinking tea.
Asatsuki Qianna seemed to have choked on her tea and coughed several times.
Qian Yueyao smiled and waved her hand, "Don't worry, he's just a man. No matter how good-looking he is, he still looks the same to me."
Asazuki Qianna, holding tea in both hands, said "Oh".
At this time, Izumi Toru suddenly asked: "I heard Hongyin said that he came to me today to meet a woman. I don't know, what do you need me to do?"
Asatsuki glanced at Izumi Toru.
"I need to make her afraid to speak, so she can only help me with things. You should be able to help me with this."
"ah?"
Izumi Toru was confused by his clueless words, but Haruka Asuki had already greeted Qianna Asuki and left.
Izumi Toru looked at Asazuki Bene and found that she also had a confused look on her face.
So, the two of them turned their attention to Asatsuki Yosuke.
Asatsuki Yosuke put down the tea and sighed.
"Let's go. Anyway, whatever she asks you, you answer truthfully. That'll be fine."
Izumi Tetsu became more and more confused.
...
Bang!
Izumi Toru walked into a dark basement, and the door was closed by someone outside.
The dim light made the whole room look a little hazy.
The velvet blanket was spread on the ground, and it was very comfortable to step on with bare feet.
The bookcase is filled with books, and a large refrigerator stands next to it. Looking through the transparent door and window, it is filled with drinks.
There is an extra large bed on the left, and a leather sofa and coffee table on the right.
Is this some kind of cage where important people are imprisoned? Izumi Toru thought so and looked at the woman sitting on the sofa.
The woman was wearing thin clothes, and her beautiful figure was completely highlighted.
The temperament is graceful and charming.
Seeing Izumi Toru walking in, the woman's body trembled.
However, when she saw Izumi Tetsu's appearance clearly, she was suddenly stunned.
"First time meeting me, I am Izumi Toru."
Izumi Tetsu bowed first and then sat on the sofa opposite her.
"First, first time we meet, I am Naoko Sakurai." The woman hurriedly replied.
Hearing her name, Izumi Toru was a little surprised.
"Who are you and Sakurai-san?"
"That, that...I, I am Leizi's mother."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Toru Izumi always felt that Naoko Sakurai was very nervous after saying these words.
He didn't know what to say for a moment.
"oh....."
"Um."
The two fell into silence.
After a while, Naoko Sakurai spoke first and broke the silence.
"Is Leizi doing well?"
Izumi Toru shook his head.
"not good!"
Sakurai Naoko's hands suddenly clenched.
"Yes, really?"
"Yes, I can only hide in my room every day and dare not go out. Only when I go back at night can I take her to the yard to look at the sky occasionally. What do you think, it's not a good life?
After hearing what happened to her daughter, Sakurai Naoko breathed a sigh of relief.
She began to ask about her daughter's condition.
"I heard that when she escaped to your place, she injured her ankle. How is she doing now?"
Izumi Toru scratched his chin.
"Now, I'm not sure whether it's okay or not. I always say my ankle hurts, but I have no problem walking."
Sakurai Ruiko was stunned for a moment, then suddenly covered her mouth and laughed.
"It seems that Leizi likes staying at your place."
"...Maybe~"
"Where Leizi is, what do you usually do?"
Izumi Toru thought about it for a while and used as detailed language as possible to describe Sakurai Ruiko's life in Qingshui Lao.
Although I still don't know how to complete Asuki Haruka's mission, it is always right to get Sakurai Naoko's letter first.
The light is dim and slightly charming.
Sakurai Naoko's happy laughter sounded from time to time.
Time passes minute by minute.
Sakurai Naoko's smile became weaker and weaker.
Izumi Toru's voice gradually became lower.
He felt something was wrong.
But there was too little information and he couldn't analyze it.
The woman asked softly: "Izumi-san, can I call you that?"
"Um."
"Leizi, I like you, right?"
Izumi Toru opened his mouth and wanted to refute.
But when he thought of the girl he hugged who would rather pretend to sleep than open her arms, he fell silent.
Seeing this, the woman chuckled lightly.
"I can see that you are different from those people. You want to protect Leizi, right?"
"I..." After hesitating for a while, Izumi lowered his head and murmured: "I don't know."
Sakurai Naoko took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled it.
"Hu—Izumi-san."
"yes."
"Can I ask you a favor?"
"Please tell me."
"Please be sure to forget what happened today."
After saying that, Naoko Sakurai stood up and poured him a cup of tea.
Izumi Tetsu really didn't understand why she said that.
"You mean, you don't want me to tell Sakurai-san that I saw you today?"
Sakurai Naoko shook her head and did not answer his words, but handed the tea to Izumi Toru.
"Izumi-san, please use it."
"Oh, thank you!"
After talking so much, Izumi Tetsu was also thirsty.
He drank all the tea in his hand.
The warm tea slid down the throat and entered the stomach, and Izumi smacked his lips.
tasty.
It also has a sweet taste.
However, it is obviously tea, why is it sweet?
Naoko Sakurai also drank the tea in front of her.
Within two seconds, she covered her face with her hands, and her suppressed cries leaked out from between her fingers.
Izumi Toru scratched his head.
What the hell is going on with this woman?
Why are you crying suddenly?
But it wouldn't be good to keep her crying...
"So, um, are you okay?"
Sakurai Naoko finally raised her head.
She stared at Izumi Toru with tearful eyes, and grabbed Izumi Toru's hand with both hands.
"Izumi-san, please forget me, please forget me! Please! You are different from them! So, please!"
Although the woman looked very pitiful at the moment, Izumi Toru's face suddenly became ugly.
He noticed something strange about his body.
The flow rate of blood gradually increases.
He understood what Asuki Haruka asked him to do.
.......
On the car heading to Qingshui Liao.
Asazuki Hongyin looked at Izumi Tetsu who was lying on her lap with a slight frown on her face, feeling a little worried.
"Che, what's wrong with you?"
Izumi Tetsu grabbed Asatsuki Koine's hand, put it on his cold face and rubbed it, without saying anything.
The woman hugged him tightly, her hair wet with sweat stuck to her cheeks, and the sadness she showed was deeply imprinted in his mind and could not be forgotten.
