Chapter 176: The responsibility of being a brother
The seat cushion is very soft, and it is dangerous to sit on it when it is stacked high. But even so, the two guys, Fuyumi and Suzuki Nozomi, still refuse to give in to each other - these two people are quite aggressive at heart, and ladies
Not at all relevant.
Fuyumi turned around and glanced at Kitahara Shuji. Suddenly, most of her anger was gone, as if she suddenly saw her backbone. Her nose felt sore and she felt a little aggrieved.
She found that she was a bit unable to fight against Suzuki Noki, a sick young boy and a stinky fart. She was tortured to the point where she couldn't find Kita in half an hour. But with this comparison, when she looked at Kitahara Shuji, the second stinky fart, she was instantly pleased with her.
Quite a few, at least this is reasonable, and it seems quite gentle to me now.
She complained directly: "This guy is here to cause trouble again."
She couldn't do it on her own, so she had to ask for help from the more powerful Kitahara Shuji, who was one of her own after all.
"Come down first!" Kitahara Hideji stepped forward and stretched out his hand to lift Fuyumi off the mat, and then said to Suzuki Noki: "You come down too, we can't bear the responsibility if you fall."
A normal person would probably be in pain for a while if he fell from this height, but Suzuki Noki was not a normal person, and it would not be unusual for him to have broken bones after falling.
Suzuki Noki reached out for a hug and said with a smile: "Hideji, help me, I'm afraid I'll fall down in a flash."
Kitahara Xiuji thought about it for a moment, and actually went over to pick her up, and asked calmly: "I thought we had already made it clear."
Is this stubbornness natural? You won’t give up until you achieve your goal?
Nozomi Suzuki stood on tiptoes with her hands behind her back and swayed her body back and forth. She smiled and said, "I know, you don't want me to come here, but I'm here to give you a thank you gift this time. It's okay if I don't come."
"Thank you?"
Fuyumi pursed her lips and handed the official document to Kitahara Hideji. Kitahara Hideji glanced at it, then glanced at Suzuki Noki, and said softly: "That's not why I'm helping you. You don't have to do this."
If it were an unknown person who was being chased by a suspected gangster, he would most likely reach out to save the person. It didn't matter whether he was Noki Suzuki or whether he had money - he didn't want anything in return.
But Nozomi Suzuki's eyes lit up and she asked expectantly: "Is this going to follow the normal plot?"
Kitahara Shuji shook his head, returned the official document to Fuyumi and put it away, and said with a smile: "I can't bear it, so we will accept the thank you gift. Thank you very much, Suzuki-san."
Suzuki Noki smiled and said: "It's a little thing, it didn't take much effort, Xiuji didn't have to say thank you."
Fuyumi snorted, glanced at Suzuki Noki, and muttered unhappily: "What are you so proud of..."
Suzuki Nozomi also looked at her and said with a smile: "Are you unconvinced again, Short Winter Melon? I'm just telling the truth. In this world, things that are simple for fire may not be for water; for fish,
What is simple for me may not be so easy for a bird; what is simple for me may be as difficult as climbing to the sky for you!”
"Shameless, you still don't rely on your family's wealth and power!" Fuyumi stood next to Kitahara Hideji, feeling more courageous.
Suzuki Noki didn't care at all and said confidently: "My family is rich and powerful, why can't I use it? Who can use it if I don't? You? This is the reality. It's very simple for me, and it's easy for you.
No, what's the use of being unconvinced?"
"You!" Fuyumi was furious. Suzuki Noki was as thick-skinned as a city wall. She was really invulnerable and had no sense of moral integrity. It almost disgusted her to death.
Kitahara Shuji gently patted Fuyumi on the shoulder and told her to stop arguing with Suzuki. It was unnecessary and he was not planning to deal with her for a long time. He smiled and said: "Suzuki-kun, everyone understands some things in their hearts, but they don't sound so good when spoken.
Yes, and you can’t be a bad guest when you come to your home, right? Respecting the host is also the guest’s obligation.”
Suzuki Noki nodded repeatedly: "I have remembered Xiuji's advice. I will be more polite to the short winter melon in the future - this is all for your sake, Xiuji."
She called her by her first and last names very affectionately, and she didn't even listen to her kind words and advice. However, Kitahara Hideji didn't care about this trivial matter anymore. He couldn't stop her anyway, so he just let her go. He just said: "Suzuki-san
, if there is nothing else, right..."
He asked whether it was time to leave, but Suzuki Noki said happily: "I have nothing else to do. I am very free. I am willing to stay for dinner. I really like Xiuji's cooking."
Fuyumi pulled the hem of Kitahara Shuji's back and asked if it was time to turn against him and throw this sick man out of the house - she was too embarrassed to fall out because of the favor, but when Kitahara Shuji gave the order, she no longer had any psychological burden.
Kitahara Shuji looked at Suzuki Nozomi calmly. This was really a piece of brown sugar. Once it sticks to it, it can't be shaken off. However, usually if people don't make him anxious, he won't yell like a grumpy carrot head. He will always
Leaving a three-point margin, he thought about it and told Fuyumi: "Go and prepare, and add some more good dishes."
The other party had helped anyway, so it would be unjustifiable to just walk out.
He then smiled at Suzuki Nozomi and said, "I didn't cook dinner. It was Fukuzawa-san's sister Haruna. It's just a simple meal. Please don't dislike it."
"No, no, no!" Suzuki Noki responded with a smile, and then smiled at Fuyumi, who was obviously very unhappy: "Look at Hidetsu's magnanimity, short winter melon, you should learn more, this is how you can do great things.
Okay, hurry up and set some food for us!"
Fuyumi did not move, Kitahara Shuji pushed her gently, she glared at Kitahara Hideji and finally turned around and went out. When Suzuki Noki saw her leaving, she asked with a smile: "Hideji, she listens to you, and you
She is also very protective of her, why is that?"
"She has a bad temper, is petty, refuses to give in, loves to make trouble, and sometimes likes to make trouble unreasonably, but she has a good heart." Kitahara Shuji replied with a smile. This carrot head is now working on a united front with the outside world, so he is still obedient.
Once the foreign enemies are gone, this guy will most likely want to start some internal fighting or something, but most of them are just looking for trouble in small things, not bad guys.
As he spoke, Kitahara Hideji stretched out his hand to signal Suzuki Noki to sit down. He sat across from him, as if formally entertaining guests, and Suzuki Noki sat down with a smile, but Kitahara Hideji also felt the sense of alienation——
He was not treating a friend, he was just treating a guest who came to visit without permission. He had helped the Fukuzawa family, so he was treating him according to etiquette, but he had no intention of deepening the friendship between the two parties.
Moreover, he was still vaguely accusing himself of being impure and bad-hearted. Perhaps the impression left on him was too bad when they met for the second and third time. Maybe he shouldn't have been so strong at the beginning, nor should he treat him like a fool and lie to him...
By the way, when we first met five months ago, he pretended well enough that he even deceived himself. Since he had deceived both of us, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?
Why is the attitude towards dwarf winter melon not the same as towards yourself? No matter from which angle you look at yourself, you should be a hundred times better than dwarf winter melon, right?
Suzuki Noki's mind was spinning, and she smiled at Kitahara Hideji and asked: "Hideji, have you decided how to deal with that whistleblower? You stole his business, and he probably won't let it go. Do you want me to help you?"
Bundle?"
"No need, we will take care of it."
Suzuki Nozomi asked with interest: "What are you going to do?"
"It's not right to treat people right. He's causing trouble for this store because of his duties and performance, so we're going to cause trouble for him himself."
Suzuki Noki understood that Kitahara Shuji was going to disgust the whistleblower, the store manager Nagaju Sanfuku across the street. He would also report him if he found any unclean places, and even report to the company he worked for, such as corruption, eating, etc.
Get some kickbacks or something, or simply cover your face and bring someone to beat him up without thinking - no need to say anything after the beating, the other party will naturally know it, and next time he fires a cold arrow, he has to think about whether he will do it again.
If you get hit with a stick, the other party will even escalate your retaliation. The stick will be replaced by a knife.
She smiled and said: "It's so hard, I have a better way, do you want to listen? I promise to let him get out!"
Kitahara Shuji shook his head and said with a smile: "No, this is our business, but I don't quite understand why Suzuki-kun you insist on getting involved. We have only known each other for a few days, and we can't even talk about friendship..."
Don't say what you like, it's not that easy to like someone, I don't believe it, I want to hear the truth."
Suzuki Nozomi looked at Kitahara Shuji with a very serious expression, and smiled sweetly: "Then tell the truth...I am very lonely. I used to have my grandma to accompany me, but now she is gone. I can't even find anyone with whom I can speak my mind.
, so I want to go out and have fun, maybe fall in love, or find a marriage partner, or make some friends, or find some interesting things to do to pass the time, and Xiuji, you are the first interesting person I met
people."
"You mean... I'm unlucky?" Kitahara Shuji sounded like he was sincere, but he still didn't dare to believe it. The main reason was that Suzuki Noki had a criminal record, so he couldn't say that every word was false, but it wasn't true.
many.
"You're lucky. If you have the opportunity to reach the sky in one step, you should seize it, Hidetsu!" Nozomi Suzuki encouraged him with a smile.
Kitahara Hideji is not interested. If a person is down-to-earth, step by step, overcoming the snow, ice, low temperature and lack of oxygen to climb Mount Everest, this is of course a feat. Anyone will say that he is indeed a brave man. And my achievements
It's perfectly fine to feel that, but what's the point of riding in a helicopter or being lifted up?
That's something anyone can do.
Maybe having a good relationship with Suzuki Noki might save you decades of hard work, but what you get by relying on others is illusory after all. It’s just a castle in the air. One day Suzuki Noki gets tired of it and leaves, and everything will return to illusion.
, maybe he fell suddenly from a height and died directly.
After all, people have to rely on themselves. It is possible to borrow force, but the basic condition for borrowing force is that you are already strong.
He retorted directly: "No, it's bad luck."
Suzuki Noki's eyes immediately turned red, and she asked softly: "Do I hate you so much, Hideji? I am sincere..."
"Stop pretending, Suzuki-san, your tears are not worthy of belief... I don't believe you can cry."
If this girl had a weak character, she would have collapsed when her grandmother died. She would shed tears just for a few words, and she wouldn't believe it even if she beat Hideji Kitahara to death.
Suzuki Noki wiped her tears and said with a smile: "You are so bad, you are not a gentleman at all, you should coax me. Well, I am telling the truth anyway, believe it or not! That... Yang
Zi-chan’s birthday is coming soon, will there be a party? Will I receive an invitation?”
She was looking forward to it, but Hideji Kitahara refused directly: "No, it's a private gathering between friends."
"That's it...it's not a pity. I've already thought about what to buy as a birthday gift."
Kitahara Shuji felt that even if he didn't receive the invitation, Suzuki Noki would probably still come to his door. He sighed and said: "Suzuki-san, I don't want to repay a favor, but I really want to say it... I saved you."
.”
"Then?"
"If you still feel a little grateful, please don't bother us again."
Suzuki Noki was silent for a while, then smiled and said: "Kitahara-kun, what you said is so hurtful... I have lowered my attitude very low, and I also have self-esteem. I just think you are very good and want to be friends with you.
…”
Kitahara Xiuji said softly: "Thank you, I'm sorry, I can't allow you to bring trouble to the Fukuzawa family or my sister. I have received help from the Fukuzawa family, and now I am repaying the Fukuzawa family, and my sister herself is very
It's pitiful, I don't want anything to happen to them... I'm really sorry, but please don't come here again."
After a pause, he said sincerely: "I wish you good luck, Suzuki-san. I sincerely hope everything goes well for you."
Suzuki Noki stared at Kitahara Shuji for a while, lowered her head and was silent for a while. She stood up with a bright smile, took out a business card from her small bag and put it on the table. She said softly: "Actually, I'm quite pitiful.
But it's none of your business, right? I just wanted to live a more interesting life with the remaining time, but I shamelessly caused you a lot of trouble. I'm sorry, Kitahara-san... Thank you for saving me. This is my personal life.
If there is anything I need to report back to you in the future, please feel free to contact me."
She left the activity room directly, but when she opened the door, she happened to meet Fuyumi who was coming over with a rice cooker in her arms. She smiled at her and said, "Dwarf Dongmei, you are stupid, but you are so lucky. You are not as pitiful as me and no one is there."
Tube."
Fuyumi was stunned for a moment and said angrily: "What do you mean, you stinky fart!"
Suzuki Nozomi smiled and didn't answer, and left directly, while Fuyumi looked at her back in confusion, and asked Kitahara Shuji strangely: "What's wrong with her? She doesn't eat here anymore? She's so rich, what's the point of being pitiful?"
Yes, it’s really crazy!”
Kitahara Shuji didn't answer. He didn't like to reject others coldly. In fact, he felt that Suzuki Nozomi was a bit pitiful from the bottom of his heart - even though she was super rich, she might not be happy at all.
Her servants, deacons, and bodyguards might not dare to have a heart-to-heart relationship with her on her salary, and the celebrities she met at the ball and banquet probably weren't many simple people, so it's probably not easy to find reliable ones.
Even before, she was restrained from even leaving the house. She was probably the only one left in the Suzuki family, and her grandmother (or grandmother) was worried.
He used to think Nozomi Suzuki was very annoying. She would harass others at will just for her own fun. The eldest lady was very temperamental and annoying. She was basically the same type as girls like Sakamoto Junko. But now that he has really driven her away, he feels confused.
It's a bit unpleasant.
Is something not quite right?
He didn't say anything, which made Fuyumi even more strange, but after thinking about it, Yue Ya's eyes became happy, "You drove her away? She won't come back in the future, right?"
"Probably won't come..."
"Great!" Fuyumi immediately shouted outside: "Haruna, there's no need to fry the beef!" Xueli happily ran in with bowls and chopsticks in her arms, and answered for Haruna: "Sister, it's already in the pot, we
Eat it!”
Then she quickly set out the dishes and knelt down next to Hideji Kitahara. She was waiting excitedly, her saliva was about to flow out, and her toes on her buttocks were curling up. However, she noticed the business card on the table and picked it up to read it.
He was surprised and asked: "Does she still have a business card?"
Xia Zhi Xia Sha also dragged her brother here and asked before she sat down: "What business card?"
Kitahara Shuji took the business card and threw it directly into the trash can. He smiled and said, "Nothing, I'm ready to eat."
He was not going to deal with Suzuki Nozomi anymore, and there was no point in keeping him.
Natsuori and Natsusha exchanged glances and didn't ask any more questions, but they looked at the piggy trash can containing peels and waste paper from time to time. Fuyumi had already started scooping out rice, and asked happily: "I want you to bring Yoko to eat with you.
Why haven't you seen her all day?"
She was happy that Noki Suzuki got out, not that she was relieved of her stuttering.
"She's too embarrassed to come here so often!"
Yoko doesn't come here very much since school starts. She only comes here occasionally on weekends, and usually stays at her own home - she attaches great importance to having a home of her own.
Fuyumi said nonchalantly: "She can't eat much, so what does it matter? It can be deducted from your salary anyway... Just close the shop on the 15th and have a day off. I will put up a notice today."
If Hideka Kitahara asked for leave, it would be difficult to open this restaurant. Haruna still couldn't stand it, so in order to avoid complaints from diners, he could only take one day off and go to Kitahara's house to eat and drink together.
Kitahara Shuci smiled and said: "Okay!"
Regardless of Suzuki Noki, that guy is still very tough at heart and has brains and means, so he should be fine. The most important thing now is celebrating his sister's birthday.
This is the responsibility of being an elder brother. He must make his sister happy and happy.
