Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

Tuesday night at seven o'clock, the Sawamura family's villa.

The fireplace in the living room burns quietly, making a crackling sound from time to time, bringing comfortable warmth to the room.

Kato Yusuke was sitting at the dining table, eating tonkotsu-flavored cup noodles while video chatting with Shiyu.

The other party was wearing a white satin dress and pajamas embellished with black trim. The skirt hugged her body, showing off her sexy curves.

She had a dark red shawl draped over her shoulders, and her long black hair swept over her beautiful collarbones and plump breasts, making people feel elegant and charming.

"So?" The owner gently opened his red lips and asked calmly, "What did the doctor say?"

Kato Yusuke swallowed the ramen in his mouth.

"The doctor didn't say anything special. He just confirmed that Yinglili had the flu. It will take about a week to recover. The good thing is that her fever has gone down."

"Oh~? It turns out that you can catch the flu by squatting at home. This is the first time I've heard of this."

"This kind of thing varies from person to person. People with weak immunity are more likely to get sick."

"Let's not talk about other things for now, Yu-chan, what are you thinking about committing suicide by spending all day in the same room with a patient who has the flu?"

Shiyu's eyes became slightly stern, and his tone was mixed with a bit of reproach, criticizing his reckless behavior.

Kato Yusuke shrugged nonchalantly and explained:

"Don't worry, I've been insulated from things like getting sick since I was a child. This is one of the few advantages I have."

In fact, the doctor said similar words when he came to the door this morning, but he knew his body.

If he could be infected simply by being in the same room with a flu patient, then he would have collapsed by now, having used the same spoon as Ying Lili.

Shiyu massaged her temples and sighed.

"Your naive thoughts really make me angry... Speaking of which, what did Sawamura's parents say? Didn't they go?"

Kato Yusuke nodded lightly, "Aunt Sayuri and the others seem to be busy with very important things and can't get away, so please ask me to take care of her first."

"oh--?"

Shiyu narrowed his eyes thoughtfully and raised the corners of his mouth with a sneer.

"Are her parents so big-hearted? Do you think it's okay for adolescent men and women to live together in the same room? Or do you think it doesn't matter even if you accidentally get into trouble? Then it's okay to accidentally kill someone?"

"

Cough, cough, cough—""

The two men coughed violently.

"Huh? This voice, it turns out that Sawamura is here too?"

"Kasumi, Kasumigaoka Shiyu——!

"

Yinglili ran around the table, blushing and shouted at Shiyu on the phone:

"People didn't want to pay attention to you at first, but then you became more and more outrageous, causing, causing people's lives and so on... Stop making malicious assumptions about other people's parents!"

Kato Yusuke said nothing, but he also agreed with what he said.

"But isn't that what happened?"

Shiyu raised his eyebrows belligerently.

"Generally speaking, would any parent be so indulgent to their daughter? Or is it just like in the TV series that the famous Spencer family is actually quite open and unkind in terms of family style?"

"Stop using conspiracy theories and bloody soap operas!"

Yinglili protested vigorously:

"I'm already in high school, and this is my family's villa, and Yusuke takes care of me. My parents think it's normal not to make a fuss."

"Hey...so this is normal?"

Shiyu said sarcastically:

"By the way, didn't you collapse? Didn't you have the flu? Didn't you have to rest for a week? I don't think you are in good spirits now?"

Eiri was trembling with anger and wanted to argue with her, but was stopped by Kato Yusuke.

"Okay, please stop arguing. Ying Lili, your noodles are going to be lumpy. Sit back and eat quickly.

And Senior Shiyu, please don't irritate the patient. Yinglili's fever didn't completely subside until this morning. You should be able to tell that her voice is still hoarse. "

"Well, since Yu-chan said so, I'll let her go for now."

When Yinglili, who was sitting back in her seat, heard this, she immediately retorted: "Who wants you to let go? You disgusting devil."

Shiyu stopped provoking her and asked instead:

"However, if Sawamura really needs a week to get better, does that mean you have to stay with Yu-chan for a week?"

"So be it."

"What about the school? The third semester will end in a few days. Can you make it back in time?"

Kato Yusuke took a sip of ramen and shook his head, "I'm afraid not."

Shiyu frowned slightly, "You were absent from work for a long time without excuse when you went to Hokkaido. Can your attendance rate meet the standard? Or are you planning to ask that Nakano-senpai for help again?"

"We'll look at these things later when we get back. There's no point in discussing them now. The main thing is that Yinglili can't live without people."

"I really can't stand it..."

Shiyu pinched her eyebrows gently, "Although I understand that the current situation is special, there must be a limit to how much you love her, right?"

Before Kato Yusuke could speak, a figure suddenly appeared on the screen.

"In other words, what the poem means is 'You can't be too partial to Sawamura-san'? Kato-kun~"

The speaker held a can of fruit-flavored beer and a cup of coffee in his hands, and sat naturally next to Shiyu, exuding a gentle temperament and mature charm that was different from Shiyu.

She was wearing a home-style short-sleeved T-shirt, with elegant tones and simple tailoring complementing each other. The shorts gently covered her slender legs, showing off her slim and well-proportioned figure. Her long brown hair hangs down on one shoulder, and its soft luster gives her a gentle aura.

Although her clothes are not revealing, every detail exudes a cute little woman feeling, which makes people look very at ease and comfortable.

Looking at the two women sitting closely together, Kato Yusuke's expression unconsciously became gentle and he smiled.

"Xiao Shi, will you stay at your place tonight? Xiao Kano."

"Yeah~" Hasumi Kanoko nodded with a smile, "Because of your behavior in the past two days, Xiaoshi was in a very bad mood, so I asked her to come and stay with me for two days."

His behavior in the past two days naturally refers to his loss of contact on White Valentine's Day.

As if she was dissatisfied with her thoughts being exposed, Shiyu gently pushed Hasumi Kanoko and cast a condemning look.

Hasumi Kanoko chuckled and handed her a cup of coffee, clinked it with the beer in her hand, and then looked at her phone again.

"Kato-kun, I heard the conversation between you and Xiaoshi just now? Can you take care of Sawamura-san by yourself? Do you want me to go over and help?"

"No, none of you are coming."

Kato Yusuke refused without hesitation.

"Just like Xiaoshi said, Yinglili's current situation is not suitable for contact with others. You should also be careful in Tokyo and be careful not to catch a cold."

When Yinglili heard this, she looked up at him, her eyes a bit indescribable, with both happiness and depression in her eyes.

She knew that Kato Yusuke was worried that he would infect others, which made her feel a little uncomfortable, but at the same time, she understood that this was the best way to handle it.

At least the other party was willing to stay and take care of her regardless of the consequences, and she was very satisfied.

Hasumi Kanoko naturally understood the same thing, so she didn't insist on her own opinion and nodded to accept it.

"Yeah~ I understand, then come on, Kato-kun. Xiaoshi and I will take care of the studio matters, so you don't have to worry. Say hello to Sawamura-san for me~"

"You can tell her this yourself."

Kato Yusuke turned his phone and pointed it at the girl sitting opposite, letting them communicate among themselves.

Eiri, who was eating noodles, was caught off guard for a moment, but she still put down Taiko and started chatting with Hasumi Kanoko.

After exchanging information about each other's situations, end the call.

Kato Yusuke put away his mobile phone and took a sip of oolong tea, "Can you just have this for dinner? Eri-ri."

In fact, he originally wanted to prepare something more decent, but the other party insisted on eating instant cup noodles.

The girl rolled her eyes at him, "Didn't I tell you earlier? What are you still asking now?"

"The main reason is that you are just in a good state and eating such greasy and nutritious fast food makes me feel a little complicated."

"But I just like it~ Especially this instant noodles are not sold in Tokyo. When I found it, I couldn't help but buy them all!"

"...Is this something to be proud of? You are too lacking in self-awareness both as a person living alone and as a patient."

"Ahh~ I can't stand it. This kind of chewy thin noodles is the best when it enters the throat! And this heavy taste with too much salt is also great. It feels like the whole stomach is satisfied. It's delicious~ ~"

Yinglili took a breath of happiness while making comments like a gourmet.

That kind of greasy behavior that was completely inconsistent with his delicate appearance made Kato Yusuke feel even more complicated.

However, this may also be regarded as the unique charm of the owner, making him seem particularly down-to-earth.

"Obviously your family will serve amazing food like eggs benedict. I'm really lucky that you can eat instant noodles so deliciously..."

"Actually, I've been eating once a day since I came here, so I felt hungry all of a sudden after my body recovered a little."

‘It would be strange not to fall ill like this. ’

Kato Yusuke cursed in his heart, and then stood up with Taiko with the empty bowl he had finished, preparing to leave.

Eirili couldn't help but was stunned when she saw this, "Yusuke, where are you going??"

"I'm going to take a shower. Just leave the bowl on the table after you finish eating. I'll clean it up afterwards."

"bath……"

"Well, the doctor said you can't take a shower today. I'll bring you some hot water and a towel later. Then you can wipe yourself."

"Oh...then go ahead."

Yinglili agreed and watched him leave the living room.

At this time, a message was suddenly received on line.

[Kasumigaoka Shiu: Sawamura, I have something to tell you. Come back to me when you are alone. 】

(⊙_⊙)?

[Yinglili:...What do you mean? I'm alone now. 】

"?——"

As soon as I replied, the other party immediately sent me an invitation for a video call.

Yinglili hesitantly pressed the answer button.

The living room that he saw more than ten minutes ago appeared on the screen, as well as the faces of Shiyu and Hasumi Kanoko.

The two of them were still sitting on the sofa, each drinking coffee and fruit beer, exuding a special atmosphere as if they had discussed something.

She pretended to be impatient and asked: "...why did you call me all of a sudden?"

Shiyu stared at her and asked cautiously: "Are you alone now? Where are the others, Yu-chan?"

"He went to take a shower, what do you want?"

"Nothing, I just want to chat with you."

"Aha?"

Ignoring her puzzled expression, Shiyu asked seriously: "First of all, I want to confirm, Sawamura, how are you thinking about the alliance I proposed last time at Shirakaba Lake?"

"Eh……?"

"What are you doing? Don't tell me you've forgotten about this."

"This... I'm still thinking about it..." Ying Lili looked away guiltily.

"oh--?"

Shiyu narrowed his eyes and his tone became cold.

"You've obviously taken so many benefits from me, are you still worried about Kato-san? Can't you make up your mind to join us?"

"This... After all, Hui is one of my few friends. Why are you asking this all of a sudden!?"

"Because this is related to what I am going to tell you next. If you think it doesn't matter if Kato-san takes away Yu-chan and becomes a loser in the end, then there is no need for us to continue talking."

Eiri heard the ultimatum in Shiyu's words, and was in a dilemma for a while, and finally looked at Kanoko Hasumi aside for some reason.

The other party noticed her gaze immediately, smiled and tilted his head slightly, "Do you have something to say to me? Sawamura-san."

"Little Kano..."

She nodded, not knowing how to speak.

As if he guessed what she was thinking, Hasumi Kanoko took a sip of fruit beer and said with a smile: "Do you want to know what the teacher thinks about this matter?"

There was a brief silence.

"Um……"

"Well~ If possible, the teacher certainly thinks that it is best if everyone can live in harmony."

"real?"

"Hmm~ It's true. After all, even I was accepted by Xiaoshi. I am very satisfied with the status quo. As long as I can continue to stay with that person, I have nothing else to ask for. What do you think, Sawamura-san?"

"…………I have no idea."

Yinglili murmured uncertainly, then bit her lip lightly, "But, I probably think so too..."

Hassan Kanoko's eyes flashed, and she raised her hand to lift up a strand of hair that was hanging in front of her face, and tucked it behind her ear.

"I'm sorry, Sawamura-kun, I've heard Xiaoshi talk about the conversation between you. I want to ask, if you become Kato-kun's girlfriend in the future, will you reject us?"

"I didn't think of it that way."

Yingli couldn't help but shake her head, and gently squeezed the phone with her fingers.

"Actually, my mother told me that the people around Yusuke are too stimulating. I want to be someone who makes him feel relaxed."

Shiyu raised his eyebrows in surprise, "You told your parents about this?"

"I told my mother a little bit when I was worried before, but that was before I went to Baihua Lake. After that, I was always thinking about painting and had no time to think about anything else."

"In that case, Sawamura-san will be just like me~"

Hasumi Kanoko's expression became gentle, with an intoxicating blush on her cheeks, and she said patiently:

】

“I never thought about arguing with anyone, I just wanted to continue to live a relaxed and harmonious life.

Don't look at Xiaoshi, she says she's stern, but she's actually very soft-hearted. This is actually the purpose of her inviting you to join.

Sawamura-san, you don’t need to regard Kato-san as your enemy, just keep this attitude and join us. "

What he said was so reasonable and well-founded that people unconsciously wanted to believe it.

"Little Kano..."

Ying Lili murmured, feeling that the other person was indeed putting herself in her shoes, and a strong resonance arose in her heart. She took a deep breath and said:

"I understand... If that's really the case, then I'm willing to join."

Hasumi Kanoko smiled broadly: "Welcome, Sawamura-san~"

Shiyu raised his eyelids and glanced at the teacher sitting next to him with disgust. He suddenly felt that adults like this creature are so dirty and always change their concepts without realizing it.

But since it can achieve its goal, she has no objection.

"Then Sawamura, let's get down to business."

She put down the mug in her hand, looked at the phone screen and said:

"Although I don't want this in principle, since Yu-chan has gone to your side, no matter what happened between the two of you in the villa, I will pretend not to know."

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Ying Lili tilted her head in confusion, unable to understand what she meant for a moment.

Shiyu showed disdain in his eyes, but still explained patiently.

"What I mean is that as long as you can take advantage of this opportunity to deal with Yuu-chan, he will never leave you alone in the future.

If you don't understand, just think about it with your notebook mind, and you will understand. So be it. "

After finishing speaking, he hung up the video directly.

Pretending not to know?

Done?

Drawing book?

Yinglili tilted her head this way and that, thinking hard on the black phone screen, trying to connect them together.

At a certain moment——

"Eh……?"

Her body suddenly stiffened, and her face suddenly turned red.

“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-!?!?!?”

The girl's screams echoed in the villa.

…
