Chapter Thirty-Three Some Secrets Are Difficult to Open
"Izumi, I'm sorry."
Izumi Toru's hand stroking her hair suddenly paused.
"Why apologize?"
The woman grabbed his hand and held it in her arms, as if she was afraid that he would get angry and run away.
"I, I can't live here with you yet..."
"Is it because of Teacher Xiaolin?"
"Huh? How do you know?"
"Besides not wanting your best friend to be alone, there's no other reason, right? There's no need to apologize to me for this kind of thing." Izumi Toru comforted him with a smile.
However, he sighed inwardly.
Asazuki Koine had some urgent matters to deal with recently and was unable to return to Qingshui Residence, so Izumi Toru thought that before the New Year came, he could finish the things he wanted to do but had not been able to do.
For example, make up for the regrets from ten years ago one by one...
The woman was not relieved because of Izumi Toru's understanding, but instead felt even more guilty and regretful.
What makes me feel guilty is that Izumi Toru's request to move here with her cannot be accepted for the time being. After all, I can't just abandon Megumi Kobayashi.
Unfortunately, my wish to move here with Izumi Toru cannot be realized for the time being...
"Izumi~"
"Um."
"Sorry, wait for me for a while..." After saying this, she thought for a while and gave Izumi Toru a clear answer: "...it will be until the New Year, how about... Xiaohui will go home at that time
, I will move here... You also know that her family has been urging her to get married. If it weren't for such an important day as the New Year and she couldn't escape, she wouldn't want to go home... Huh? Izumi, what's wrong with you? "
Seeing his strange expression, Bai Shijing was a little confused.
"New Year~" Izumi Toru murmured, then scratched his head and said with some guilt: "I have to accompany Kiyohime during the New Year's days, and the Igarashi family has arranged an itinerary for me..."
"That's right..."
Although Jinguji Kiyohime is usually very tolerant and doesn't care about Izumi Toru and other women, at such an important time as the New Year, she will want to be with Izumi Toru no matter what...
When she thought that she might not be able to accompany him during the New Year, she felt a little disappointed.
But, there is no way...
"elder sister."
"Um?"
"if……"
Izumi Toru wanted to ask if she would wait for him if he disappeared suddenly, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't want to ask.
Seeing that he only spoke half of his words, she pushed his shoulder curiously, "What's wrong?"
"I just want to ask, if I spend all the money in your card, will you be angry?"
The woman rolled her eyes at him.
"Am I such a stingy person? Just spend all your money. This house is enough. And... I originally wanted to buy a wedding house... or something..."
Her voice became softer and softer, and her face became hotter and hotter.
At this time, Izumi Toru handed a familiar bank card to her.
"I thought I would have to spend more money to buy this house, so I borrowed money from my sister just to be on the safe side. In fact, I still have plenty of money from writing books in recent years."
"Oh..." Just as she was about to take it, she suddenly thought of something and retracted her hand, "You, just take it..."
She lowered her head and hesitated: "...Anyway...the family's money...should be...put together..."
Izumi Tetsu couldn't help but laugh.
"Laughing, why are you laughing? I hate it!" She couldn't help but hit his chest.
"Sister," Izumi Toru grabbed her hand.
"What are you doing?"
"Generally, the mistress keeps the money at home... Even if it is put together, you should hold it," he put the bank card into her hand and asked in a low voice, "right?"
"……Um……"
The woman carefully took the bank card and held it close to her chest.
Her pretty face was slightly red, with a happy smile.
Mistress huh...
She felt contentedly for a while, then suddenly remembered something.
"Izumi, is this the house you were talking about to Jinguji-san before?"
"of course not."
"oh……"
She was relieved.
Although she had already made plans to be together in the future, if possible, she still hoped that this place could only belong to two people.
】
After all, this is what Izumi Toru promised to give only to her.
Be it selfishness or possessiveness, these are the only things she doesn't want to share.
"Also, regarding Qingji's previous plan to buy a big house when she came back, it has been shelved for some reasons. It will take some time to discuss..."
"Eh?!" Bai Shijing blurted out, "What about Xiaohui!"
Before she finished speaking, she immediately covered her mouth.
Izumi Tetsu frowned.
"What's wrong with Teacher Xiaolin?"
"Ah... then, that... it means that I... said at the beginning that I wanted to invite her... to be a guest... yes, that's it!"
Bai Shijing's brain was running wildly, and he thought of a reason to deal with it.
"If you want to invite me, wouldn't it be more appropriate to come here?"
"Yes, yes..." She nodded subconsciously and was suddenly stunned for a moment.
"Sister? What's wrong with you?"
"No, it's nothing..."
She just suddenly thought that if it was Xiaolin Hui, it seemed that it would not be impossible to give her a room...
After all, it was agreed that we would always be together.
Gululu——
Suddenly, the sound of empty stomachs sounded between the two of them.
"Sister, you are hungry, then let's go..."
"It's obviously your stomach that's growling!"
She won't take the blame.
"Hehe... let's go, let's go."
Izumi Toru pushed Bai Shijing out of the house.
Seeing that he was so perfunctory, she was speechless and seemed to want to say something else.
However, she didn't say anything in the end.
After all, Izumi Toru is childish, and she cannot be childish.
The hostess just needs to be more tolerant.
Hum hum!
There is a shopping mall ten minutes' walk from Izumi's house. When the two came here, they were ready to find a restaurant to eat.
Suddenly, Izumi Toru's sight caught a familiar figure.
"Teacher Xiaolin?"
As soon as Izumi Tetsu shouted, Shiraishi Jing and Kobayashi Megumi's bodies were shocked.
"Didn't I say that I have to sort out the exam questions today? Why do you have time to come here?"
"Ah, that...I..." Xiaolin Hui hesitated and didn't know how to lie, so she turned her attention to Bai Shijing.
"Yes! Isn't Xiaohui sorting out the teacher's questions? Why are you here? Are you lazy?!" Bai Shijing chimed in with his hands on his hips.
Wow! It was obvious that you were the one who lied to him, and now you are still pretending to be upright, just to see if I don't expose you...
Before she opened her mouth, she saw that her friend deliberately avoided Izumi Toru's eyes, gave her a pleading expression, and extended five fingers to indicate that she could help wash the clothes five times...
"Yeah, so what if I'm lazy! I've worked hard for a year and you're not allowed to be lazy even once! Humph!"
Pretending to be proud of being a fisherman, Kobayashi Hui winked at his friend without revealing anything.
make a deal!
Izumi Tetsu opened his mouth, seemingly a little surprised that Kobayashi Megumi insisted that he was a salary thief.
"But why are you two here? Didn't you say you were going..." Xiao Lin Hui looked at Bai Shijing who had dressed up deliberately and asked.
"We met, let's have a meal together," Izumi Toru stretched out his hand and pointed to the elevator, "Let's talk as we walk."
"Um……"
The two women walked in front of Izumi Tetsu and talked softly.
"Today... the movie... the necklace... in short... very annoying..."
