Bai Shijing saw Izumi Tetsu and immediately stood on tiptoes and waved to him.
Izumi Tetsu jogged two steps and stood in front of Shiraishi Jing.
"Sister, why are you here so early?"
"I just arrived." Bai Shijing said with a smile.
Although it had been a while since she arrived, she wouldn't tell him.
After all, I was too impatient so I got up early...
Izumi Toru had already arrived early, but he didn't expect that Shiraishi Jing came earlier than him.
He scratched his head and said, "I originally wanted to arrive early and show off my gentlemanly demeanor, but now I've decided to let the lady wait, but it's gone..."
"Okay, I haven't had breakfast yet, come with me."
Bai Shijing didn't want to hear his words of self-blame, so he interrupted him.
"Um."
The two walked side by side towards the nearby shopping mall.
After taking just two steps, Izumi Tetsu suddenly stopped.
"Why, why did you stop?"
Bai Shijing's voice was trembling because of nervousness.
Izumi Toru turned his head and glanced at his sunken arms.
"nothing."
"Ahem, let's go then."
Shiraishi glanced around guiltily, then lowered his head and grabbed Izumi Toru's arm and left.
Because of her lowered head, the gooseneck hidden in the turtleneck drooped slightly.
Then, Izumi Toru noticed the shining silver-white necklace around her neck.
"Wait a moment."
"Um?"
Bai Shijing raised his head and looked at him with some doubts.
Izumi Toru stretched out his hand, brushed her hair away, and then...
She hurriedly grabbed his hand and asked: "Wait, don't, don't stay here..."
"For turtlenecks, wearing the necklace outside is more conspicuous and looks better. There is no difference between hiding it and not wearing it, right?"
As he spoke, he carefully adjusted the position of Bai Shijing's necklace.
The drop-shaped amethyst hangs in the center of the stretched sweater, which is exquisite and attractive.
Looking at such beautiful scenery, Izumi Toru couldn't help but start to think about it, if the purple crystal was placed in the snow-capped mountains...
Wait, just now, where was the amethyst?!!!
He lowered his head and rubbed his fingers.
The warm feeling on his fingertips suddenly captured his body and mind.
Shiraishi Jing originally thought that Izumi Toru was going to do something strange, but she found out that he was just helping her arrange the necklace, which made her a little embarrassed.
"Well, yes, that's it... I, I was just worried that it wouldn't look good when I put it on, so I hid it..."
"No, it fits very well. It took Qingji a long time to find this necklace."
"oh……"
"However, sister, I didn't hear clearly what you just said...it seemed to be something...don't stay here..."
Bai Shijing panicked.
She quickly pulled him and said, "Let's go, I'm so hungry."
"oh……"
In fact, Izumi Toru heard everything clearly just now.
When he got home, he was ready to expose her.
Then you can admire her cute look with a blushing face, and as she said, change places and...
After breakfast, the two of them walked around the mall for a while and watched a movie. Then Izumi Toru took her out of the mall and stopped a taxi.
"No. 14, Aiyecho, Adachi-ku."
After hearing Izumi Toru tell the driver about a strange place that he had never heard of before, Shiraishi Jing finally couldn't hold back his curiosity.

"Izumi, we are going..."
"Sister, did you bring your seal?"
"Oh, I brought it with me."
Bai Shijing took out the seal from the small bag she was carrying and put it in his hand.
Izumi Toru touched the seal with his fingers and whispered: "Sister, do you still remember what I promised you ten years ago?"
Bai Shijing tilted his head, "I promised so many things back then, which one do you want to talk about?"
Turning her face sideways, the woman stuck out her tongue playfully at him.
Izumi Tetsu couldn't help but smile.
"It's the one that says [Jie Na Jin]..."
(The payment of money, the payment of goods: equal to the domestic betrothal gift)
[As a child, do you know what marriage means? Do you know the responsibilities you have to bear? 】
[I have already thought about the settlement fee. First, I will give my sister a big house, and then I will deposit it on my bank card...]
【Wait, wait! Why are you talking about this?!】
【You know the reason.】
【I……】
【If I have a promising future, would you like to marry me in the future?】
【……】
【…………】
【...willing...willing...】
It had been so long, and many things from ten years ago could not be remembered clearly, but Bai Shijing remembered his words very clearly.
Thinking of the behavior of asking herself to borrow money despite writing that she had made a lot of money, she suddenly understood something.
"Izumi, we are..."
"You are saving money to buy a wedding house, and I am saving money for this too... Maybe we have a connection."
"……Um!"
The woman held his hand tightly.
The taxi stopped at a villa in Wenjing District.
There was an elderly man waiting at the door.
The moment he saw Izumi Toru get out of the car, he came up to him and patted Izumi Toru on the shoulder.
"Little Izumi, long time no see!"
Izumi Tetsu bowed respectfully to him.
"It's so shameful that I haven't sent my greetings for so long!"
"Izumi, what is this?"
Bai Shijing looked at the old man in front of him who was showing intimacy with Izumi Tetsu, and was very surprised.
She had never heard Izumi Toru talk about this person.
"I almost forgot to introduce you," Izumi Toru took Shiraishi Jing's arm and said, "This is my sister, Shiraishi Jing."
"First time we meet, I am Bai Shijing." Bai Shijing immediately bowed to the old man in front of him.
"This is my father's best friend."
Upon hearing this introduction, the old man raised his eyebrows and looked a little strange.
Best friend?
It was just a chance meeting a few times.
However, he did not expose it, but smiled at Bai Shijing and bowed.
"You two, come in."
"Excuse me!" x2
Although Bai Shijing had many doubts at the moment, she knew that now was not the time to ask, so she stayed quietly beside Izumi Toru and listened to him chatting with the old man.
"...At the beginning, if you hadn't helped me, I would still be heavily in debt right now."
"After all, I also met your father. How can I bear to watch the orphan of the Izumi family being visited to collect debts..."
Bai Shijing suddenly clenched his fists.
Loaded with debt?
Door-to-door debt collection?
Why I don’t know…
At this time, Izumi Toru turned his face sideways, smiled at her, and told her to relax.
Immediately afterwards, he talked to the old man again for a while, and then expressed his intention.
"Mr. Harano, for the sake of our past friendship with the Izumi family, can you give me the original house of the Izumi family?"
The old man pondered for a moment.
"...Two days ago, a friend took a fancy to this house. Although I personally prefer you, but now I have encountered some small problems..."
Although he was a little unhappy about the temporary price increase, Toru Izumi didn't show any signs of discomfort.
"Mr. Yuan Ye, it doesn't matter. No matter what the problem is, I will help solve it."
