In Tokyo, I just want salted fish

Chapter 98 The First Step

Uesugi Kai: "I reiterate again, I just stand still and fulfill Goto's promise as a tool man."

"I know," Ayaka Riei buried her head in writing, "Didn't you notice that my attitude towards you has changed a little bit recently?"

"I didn't find much." Uesugi Kai said.

Ayaka Riei did not answer him.

"What are you talking about?" Haneda Ximu walked to the podium, put down the book in her hand and asked with a smile.

"We're talking about how to get along with the opposite sex."

"Oh?"

The 26-year-old is still single Haneda Nozomi expressed great interest, "Want to fall in love?"

Ayaka Riei remained silent, meaning she absolutely didn't want to.

Hanamaru Hanabi drank milk silently.

The young female teacher looked back and forth between Kai Uesugi and Hanamaru Hanabi, and laughed:

"I remember that Uesugi-san and Hanamaru-san were childhood sweethearts, right?"

"Although he was not born in a delivery room, he is still a childhood sweetheart." Kai Uesugi put the empty box on the corner of the table, picked up a pen, glanced at the title, and wrote an "A".

Haneda Ximu glanced at the correct option, and continued to ask: "The teacher is actually very curious, you are so familiar, it is reasonable to say that you are very close, are you not in love?"

"certainly--"

Uesugi Kai was about to speak, but suddenly remembered the unexplained request from his father-in-law, and changed his words: "As long as Hanabi confesses to me, I will agree to her."

Hanamaru Hanabi held the milk carton in her small hand, and stared blankly at him.

Haneda Ximu also noticed Hanabi's expression, teasingly said to Uesugi: "Let the girl confess to you first?"

"There's nothing wrong with it," said Uesugi Kai. "This era advocates equality between men and women, and it's obviously unequal to express that this kind of thing is only done by men."

"Equality means not being able to find a partner." Haneda Ximu had an undisguised smile on the face of the young woman.

"Except for the fact that the client is very good," Kai Uesugi glanced casually and wrote a question, "Why doesn't Mr. Haneda find a boyfriend?"

"Not suitable." Haneda Ximu replied seriously, and then thought about it again, "Actually, the teacher has plans in this regard recently, can Uesugi-san give some suggestions?"

Is this shameless to ask?
Kaoru Uesugi came up with this idea inexplicably.

"Sorry, teacher, I will only reject girls, not pursue them."

"Oh?"

Haneda Nozomi looked his handsome face up and down, "Has Uesugi-san ever been in love?"

"Talk about it."

Kaoru Uesugi did not hide it, "But my pursuit method is too simple and has no reference significance."

"During junior high school?" Haneda Ximu asked, and then said, "It's okay to share it with the teacher as an experience."

"Confess directly."

Hanamaru Hanabi, who was buried in her head but not in the mood to do her homework, pursed her lips.

The topic of the study meeting became more and more biased. Several other students listened to the chat between teachers and students while doing their homework.

Haneda Ximu smiled, and she looked like a successful woman in her professional attire: "Yes, Uesugi-san has the capital to do this."

Kai Uesugi was puzzled: "It stands to reason that a beautiful female teacher like Haneda-sensei cannot be pursued by no one."

"Oh," Haneda Ximu sighed, "how should I say it, I tried to talk about it once when I was studying at Tokyo University, but it didn't work."

There is always a hint of sadness in the words.

------

Today's study session, apart from doing the set of questions, made no progress.

Walking in the brightly lit urban area, Hanamaru Hanabi and Uesugi Kai waited for the croquettes under two lightly shaking lanterns.

"Kai-kun, Haneda-sensei, why can't you date someone?"

The two croquettes in the oil pan were sizzling, and when they were about to meet, they were ruthlessly separated by a small shovel.

"Why is Hanabi interested in this?" Uesugi Kai smiled, watching her profile under the bustling lights.

Hanamaru Hanabi turned her head, and her outline was illuminated by neon lights like fiery trees and silver flowers: "Because Kai-kun and Haneda-sensei have been chatting, Hanabi is not in the mood to do homework."

After receiving the two croquettes handed over by the stall owner, Kaoru Uesugi paid the money, and then said to Hanamaru Hanabi:
"Simple thing."

"It's simple?" Hanamaru Hanabi was attracted by the croquette in his hand.

"Because Haneda-sensei is too strong as a woman." When Uesugi Kai turned around, he found Hanamaru Hanabi's little head following his movements.

"Too. Powerful?" Hanamaru Hanabi, who wanted to eat croquettes, obviously didn't think seriously about this sentence.

Uesugi Kai noticed this, with a smile on his face, he was not in a hurry to give her the croquette, and continued to move forward.

Hanamaru Hanabi hurriedly stepped on her small leather shoes and followed him.

The two sat on a bench under a zelkova tree, with the black bow bag beside them.

"The gap between the object and myself is too large, and a certain sense of inferiority will naturally arise. It's a very simple thing."

"Thank you Kai-san."

Hanamaru Hanabi nodded, wanting to reach out and take the golden croquette from Kai Uesugi's hand.

Kai Uesugi avoided her little hand, smiled and said to her, "I'll feed you."

"Huahuo can be eaten by itself."

"It's different."

While speaking, Kai Uesugi had already held the croquette in front of her mouth.

The aroma of potatoes and meat fills the nostrils, and the taste buds provoked by the hot air are irresistible temptations.

Hanamaru Hanabi couldn't help swallowing, and secretly glanced at Kai Uesugi who was all smiling.

In the end, the small mouth still bit down the soft, glutinous and crispy feeling.

"Is it delicious?" Uesugi asked with a smile.

"Delicious." Hanamaru Hanabi replied with some embarrassment, which reminded her of the past.

That's how he fed her in kindergarten.

But it wasn't rice after all, and it didn't feel like feeding it, so Uesugi Kai still handed her the croquette.

"Thank you Kai-san."

Holding the croquettes in both hands, Hanamaru Hanabi began to eat slowly, exhaling hot air from her small mouth from time to time.

Kaoru Uesugi stared at the long and narrow street ahead, and saw figures passing by one after another:

"Does Huahuo remember why she refused to eat when she was a child?"

"Hanabi. I loved to cry when I was young"

"Why are you crying?"

Hanamaru Hanabi shook her head, she really didn't remember.

Uesugi Kai thought of her timid appearance when she was a child, and couldn't help smiling: "Because my aunt is not here, Hanabi always asks me to feed you. Whenever the teacher touches your bowl, you cry."

He looked at her beautiful face under the light.

"You cry very loudly, and you look ugly with tears all over your face. Your tears are all over your clothes."

"Will it be ugly?" Hanamaru Hanabi looked up at him.

"It's not as pretty as it is now anyway."

Uesugi Kai smiled, "But it was also very cute back then, wiping away tears and always wanting to play with me, and calling me brother crisply."

Hanamaru Hanabi lowered her head and spoke in a low voice: "At that time, everyone said that Hanabi was a crybaby, and they didn't want to play with me.

"Only Kai-kun does not dislike the crying Hanabi, wipes away tears for Hanabi, distributes delicious food to Hanabi, and tells Hanabi stories from the book."

"Huahuo can only play with Kai-kun every day"
