My love options are a bit difficult

Chapter 477 She Was 76 At That Time
In the coffee shop in Bunkyo District, Natsume Kaede was slowly stirring the coffee with one hand, while watching quietly with a book in the other hand.

Sitting near the window, he raised his legs slightly, his expression sometimes frowns and sometimes relaxes, his calm eyes are like a deep pool, and the hair he doesn't take care of often is a little messy.

This time, it is really like a medieval poet who came out of the scroll.

Before, it was just similar in shape, but this time it is similar in form and spirit.

Even though the mobile phone next to the coffee cup was vibrating slightly, Natsume Kaede didn't notice it this time with his usual keen perception. His eyes were fixed on the lines in the book in his hand, as if there was a mysterious magic power in it that was attracting him. .

Tomoko Irimoto is the waiter at this coffee shop.

Since it was almost lunch time, there were not many customers in the store.

She bundled up the dinner plate to fit her belly, stood on the side of the aisle against the wooden railing and waited quietly, remembering the hesitation that troubled her heart recently, but her thoughts began to drift away after a daze in front of her eyes.

The 26-year-old did not go to college, but a few years ago, because of her enthusiasm, coupled with the fact that she did not want to obey the arrangement of her family, and became a full-time wife after marrying at will, she fled her home desperately and came to Tokyo. A city full of opportunity and darkness.

She was full of passion when she first set foot on this land, and was fed up with the poisonous chicken soup on the Internet. She always thought that even if she couldn't be a big man on TV, she would definitely have her own career—even if she was a woman.

But in just one year, she was hit hard.

The pride in my heart was cracked by the cold wind under the overpass, and I couldn't even afford to stay in the cheapest capsule hotel for one night.

It was the first time she realized the importance of academic qualifications, and at the same time she began to regret why she didn't study hard at the beginning.

If I came to this city as a college student from a good university, even if I won't become a big shot in the future, at least I won't be unable to live because I can't find a job.

Those social animals who work from five to nine have become her extravagant hopes.

Not everyone is qualified to be a social animal, exploited intentionally and ruthlessly by capitalists.

After all, Tomoko Irimoto was still no match for the shriveled wallet and the burning stomach pouch.

Reality taught her not to be high-minded but to be able to survive first.

She has worked as a convenience store cashier, Shibuya leaflet salesman, telemarketer and even a garbage collector.

After wandering around for a few years, I came to this coffee shop and signed a contract to become an official waiter. Although it is not easy to say that I am also a waiter, the benefits are much better than convenience stores. After all, this coffee shop There is a lot of running water.

In addition, the boss is a very interesting person, and he doesn't care too much about making money. The salary of these people is higher than that of similar jobs.

The salary and treatment can barely be regarded as a white-collar worker.

Tomoko Irimoto had nothing to complain about, and even considered himself a bit lucky.

Because of the true appearance of the city of Tokyo after years of experience, she is very sure that she can overturn her previous expectations—or maybe it has long since disappeared.

She also rented a house in the Adachi District, which the government advertised as having a good law and order. Every now and then, there would be screams from around in the middle of the night. She had even been robbed before, but she was not in any danger.

Maybe she's not pretty enough.

So I just took away the salary I just paid.

Anyway, when I ran away, no matter how much I shouted in the street, no one came to help me. Even if someone saw me being chased, they would dodge from far away.

The indifference of human feelings is not only reflected in this aspect.

Tomoko Irimoto does not have a high degree of education. Since he came to Tokyo, he has been working in the service industry, and he has met too many people of all kinds.

She could barely claim to have seen all kinds of appearances in life, but in this city, she felt that those customers all had a common characteristic - indifference.

I have always treated people I don't know with indifference, and at most only treat them in the relationship of mutual benefit and consumption, and I rarely see empathy with digressions or equal treatment.

Only a few old people and children still have this kind of empathy.

It's just that although Tomoko Irimoto felt disappointed, she didn't think there was anything wrong.

After all, the other party and you seem to have no obligation to help for no reason, and usually only have a relationship between consumption interests for you, and it seems normal that they don't intend to say a word to you.

It's just that the human touch of the hometown in the countryside is missing.

Tomoko Irimoto has been hesitating about one thing during this time, that is whether to go back to his hometown to live.

The pressure and indifference of the city of Tokyo really made her uncomfortable, but it took so many years to gain a firm foothold here, and she was very reluctant to go back.

She recently did a calculation.

Tokyo is divided into 23 districts, 26 cities, five towns, and eight villages.

Among them, the housing prices in the 23rd district are the most expensive, and the five towns and eight villages are the most remote and the cheapest.

If the five towns and eight villages that are too far away are excluded, she probably bought a house in Tama City or Tachikawa City.

Based on the minimum area of ​​49 square meters, if you buy a house with your salary unless you live on a mortgage, it will take about [-] years to pay off.

That is 50 years.

At that time she was 76 years old.

Tomoko Irimoto felt that it was not certain whether he could live to be 76 years old. After all, he did not know when he would die in an accident, so he immediately felt that the possibility of this matter was unlikely.

But if you don’t buy a house, you still don’t feel like home after all. If you rent a house, you will definitely have to move every two or three years at most. This kind of city still can’t bring her a sense of belonging.

As for finding a husband and relying on a man——

Her appearance is not enough to be a sugar daddy, and no matter in terms of education or family conditions, ordinary men in Tokyo don't look up to her, that's the reality.

In this city, sometimes looking at the face is not as good as looking at the hard conditions-unless the face is really beautiful.

This kind of life is really unsatisfactory.

Tomoko Irimoto felt that if he went back to his hometown, it would definitely be better than the current life.

It's just that I still don't want to be here, and there is always a glimmer of impossible hope in my heart.

Maybe I can call my father?
But he must laugh at his overreaching, right?
"Miss Irimoto?"

Just when Tomoko Irimoto was still in self-doubt, a familiar male voice sounded in his ear.

It's just that she didn't hear it very clearly, or she was too distracted, and didn't care to hear it clearly. The male voice called out again.

"Miss Irimoto?"

This time, Tomoko Irimoto, who was standing in the middle of the corridor, froze for a moment, and finally came back to his senses. At the same time, his heart trembled and he hurriedly looked towards the source of the call, and saw a young man looking at him with a smile.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Tomoko Irimoto trotted over after seeing the person who spoke, kept bowing his head and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry Mr. Natsume, I was a little distracted just now, what do you need?" Is it?"

Xia Mufeng didn't mind what happened just now, just smiled and pointed to his cup, and said softly: "It's okay, can you fill up my coffee?"

Tomoko Irimoto nodded hastily, seeing that he showed no signs of anger, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and at the same time quickly replied: "Okay, please wait a moment."

　Thanks to the boss of Xinle Wangfu for the reward
