Chapter 205 Is it sweet?

"This Shinkansen is bound for Shin-Osaka Station. There are designated seats throughout the journey. There are no free seats. The next stop is Shinagawa Station. All carriages include bathrooms and are non-smoking! Please cooperate. When you need to use the phone..."

The loudspeaker on the aisle door played precautions, and in the distance, a flight attendant pushed a sales cart slowly.

Shiina Kiri and the three of them bought tickets with consecutive numbers, but the carriages had five seats in a row, separated by aisles.

The girl sat by the window, Shiina Kiri and Nakano Megumi sat on both sides of the aisle.

It is a sunny day today, but the side where Asakura Yin is located does not receive direct sunlight, so the curtains are not closed.

The scenery outside the window is very good. After all, Japan is a country with a forest coverage rate of 67%.

Green has always been a comfortable and relaxing color, unless worn on the head.

"This is my first time traveling far away. Where are you, Asakura?"

Shiina Kiri looked at the girl's small side face and asked softly.

Asakura Yin didn't reply, still looking out the window.

Shiina Kiri was not surprised by this. She didn't talk much to begin with, not to mention she was in a bad mood today.

He continued to talk to himself, "Is Asakura nervous?"

Although they are close to her grandfather, this is the first time for the girl to meet him.

Megumi Nakano was kicked out of her home when she was still pregnant with her, and she never went back for more than ten years.

"If you are not used to living there, just call me and I will pick you up soon."

The girl still didn't reply, which made Shiina Kiri a little puzzled.

Since leaving the house, she has ignored him.

Wait, it seems not...

She asked him at the door of Ueda Station, "What are you laughing at?"

Shiina Kiri. "..."

He could guarantee that he never smiled at that time, but he couldn't guarantee whether he pursed his lips and let the girl see the wrong message.

It seems that this kitten is quite vindictive.

Shiina Kiri reached out and grabbed her little hand that was casually placed on her thigh. As expected, the girl no longer ignored him, turned her head and frowned, looking a little fierce.

Yesterday he said he would hold me for the last time.

Shiina Kiri took a breath, but still held her right hand tightly.

In fact, the two of them were not holding hands in the strict sense. It was a bit like yesterday, he only held the girl's four fingers.

The kitten's little claws pricked the palm of his hand. The harder he pressed, the more painful it became.

But Shiina Kiri pressed her palm hard against the girl's nails as if she was self-abuse. After a while, her palms were already numb from pain.

"Won't go back."

The girl finally spoke.

The kitten let go of her closed hands, and she was caught easily.

As tough-tongued as ever, but still reluctant to hurt him.

You really deserve to be bullied.

"We never said we were breaking up. You will definitely get married in the future."

Shiina Kiri was talking nonsense seriously, not caring that Nakano Megumi was on the other side of him, less than two meters away.

Last night, he actually asked Megumi Nakano about Asakura Ne's studies and learned that she was only a freshman in high school.

He was not surprised by this. After all, he asked the girl how old she was that night when the troops retreated with thunder and gold.

She is only one year younger than him.

She was only a freshman in high school, and he was trying to trick her into getting married, or he was trying to trick her into getting married.

Asakura heard his words and looked out the window again.

"You never said we would be together."

Her voice was a little faint, and Shiina Kiri didn't know what tone it was.

Disappointed? Relieved? Confused?…?

Maybe none, maybe both.

He didn't understand, but he could tell that the girl was sad.

Yes, they didn't say they were breaking up, but he never officially confessed his feelings, even that night when she threw away all her cards.

In fact, she hinted at it.

On the day she helped him wash his hands.

She asked him if he would put her in a wedding dress.

He said he would marry her.

The answer fit her question perfectly.

But, the answer she wanted was more than just this.

We have to be together first, and then things will happen later.

Boys will all think that falling in love comes naturally. If you hold my hand, we will be together.

But girls will care about being confessed by the person they like.

At that age when she had a strong need for emotional resonance and when she was wandering around without a fixed place, she was the most naive yet purest.

"There will be."

Shiina Kiri took the girl's little hand and placed it on her thigh, then covered her palms and backs with both hands.

Confession requires emotion and atmosphere.

He is not qualified to confess to her now, she is already disappointed in him.

She will stop doing stupid things to make him regret it for the rest of his life because she likes her, and she will let him catch her because she likes her, but she will not accept his confession.

I still like you, but so what.

If you like it, do you have to be together?

If you do something wrong, you should be punished.

In fact, she wanted to punish him so that he would never see her again in his life. But, who made it easy for her to lie?

The Shinkansen is heading toward Osaka quickly, with a maximum speed of 285 kilometers per hour. It will take the girl away from the city where he lives and escape from his love.

…

After the three of them arrived in Osaka, they took a train to Kita Ward, where Grandpa Asakura Neto lived.

The North District has a very good environment and can almost be regarded as a residential area.

At the same time, it is also the location of some Japanese universities, enjoying a high academic level and cultural atmosphere.

Asakura Ne's grandfather was named Nakano Yushi, a name that sounded very rough, but he himself looked very elegant.

As a scholarly family, several generations have been engaged in the education industry.

Therefore, Nakano Yushi could not accept his daughter abandoning the engagement and running away with an unemployed person.

The words of parents ordering matchmakers are indeed a bit feudal in this era.

However, since the idiom "well-matched" exists, it naturally makes sense. Class will solidify the idea, and it is not enough to cross the line just because of love.

Even if you don't listen to your parents' words, you still need to listen.

Therefore, Megumi Nakano had a very hard life.

The Nakano family lives in a villa. Although the house looks a bit old, it is a symbol of wealth after all.

Otherwise, Asakura Neto's father would not have been eyeing Nakano Megumi, trying to get Nakano Yushi to compromise and betroth Nakano Megumi to him by having children before marriage.

During lunch, Shiina Kiri followed the mother and daughter to meet Yushi Nakano.

This time it was actually more like a family dinner, but he still shamelessly followed Asakura Yin. He wanted to see what kind of person this Nakano Yuushi was.

In response, Yushi Nakano, who looked expressionless, glanced at him several times.

Several people were sitting on their knees at the zelkova table. Next to Yushi Nakano, there was an old woman sitting. She was wearing a light-colored kimono and had a lot of lines around her eyes when she smiled. She must be Asakura Neto's grandmother.

"Xiao Hui, this is your favorite taiyaki. Your father went to Xuji to buy it specially this morning."

Nakano Yushi's expression was slightly suffocated, and he glanced at his old wife next to him with some dissatisfaction.

Nakano Megumi seemed to have a sparkling meaning in his eyes, and silently picked up the taiyaki in the bowl and took a bite of the fish tail.

Taiyaki is not fried sea bream, but an old-fashioned dessert from a certain age.
