Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

After a long silence, Hui spoke softly.

"...Can I confirm something with you?"

Kato Yusuke nodded, "Well, just say it."

Hui stared straight into his eyes, as if confirming something, "I want to know, what kind of existence is Miss Sayu in your heart?"

"What……?"

Kato Yusuke was confused by the question.

He thought about many kinds of questions that might be asked, including his relationship and past with Sayu, but he didn't expect it to be so abstract.

"Hmm...what kind of existence does it mean? Can you be more specific?"

"For example, a close friend, a lover, a girl you like...or someone who is very special to you, and in the heart of that special person, you are also very special. Is this the kind of relationship you have with Miss Sayu?"

Kato Yusuke held his breath for a moment, pondered for a moment, squinted his eyes slightly and said:

"None of the above... she and I are just looking for some false things, or fakes, in each other."

He said this not to be deceptive or self-deprecating, but because he truly believed it.

What he is looking for is Sayu, who used to get along with him day and night. What Sayu is looking for is classmate Iwanami who helped her solve problems. The two of them got it wrong from the start.

Hui lowered her head slightly in thought, then shook her head slowly, "You won't lose your composure because of an unimportant person, besides..."

She breathed a sigh of relief.

"You know it yourself, right? Every time Miss Sayu sees us, she always looks at you alone, as if the other people don't exist at all. How could this be possible if it's not a special person?"

"..."

Kato Yusuke remained silent.

There is no way to deny this.

He himself couldn't let go completely, let alone Sayu?

Thinking about it carefully, in Sayu's opinion, he must be the inexplicable person.

First he appeared in her life out of thin air and changed her life, and then he used a "fictional" past to exclude her.

Under such circumstances, it was not easy for her to persevere.

However, Kato Yusuke has a new life and can't look back.

He moved his lips and responded with a deliberately joking tone.

"I mean, are you jealous of your love rival who suddenly appeared? He's becoming more and more like a girlfriend."

After a brief silence, Hui casually lifted her hair from her ears, glanced at him and said, "......Don't you already know about that kind of thing?"

"Huh——?" Kato Yusuke couldn't help but be stunned.

He thought that the other party would use his own unique calm tone to stab him, but what he heard in response was a voice that was even thinner than he expected.

"I probably thought that was my position... Well, that must be the case. I thought that I was the only one who understood Yusuke's heart, and thought that the two of us could become something special to each other."

Kato Yusuke came back to his senses, "This idea is not wrong. In fact, there is no one who understands me better than Megumi."

"I didn't mean that..." Hui shook his head gently.

"What I want to say is, I'm just an ordinary girl.

The reason why I say this is not because of trivial thoughts like 'I have fallen in love with Yusuke', but because I am quite proud to be a special existence in your mind. "

"Megumi..." Kato Yusuke said unconsciously, but Megumi blocked his lips with an index finger.

“… Without love, it’s not enough to be called friendship. The person I thought was special turns out to be not that special, it’s just this insignificant emotion.

You asked me why I was angry, right? In fact, it is for this boring reason.

You're not wrong, Yusuke. It's just that I unilaterally harbored illusions and was disillusioned without authorization. This is a small setback for a girl who thinks she is different. "

The voice was thin and transparent, with a hint of loss.

Just like the lake water blown by the breeze, the water surface is swaying and swaying; just like the darkening sky, reflecting the vermilion of the evening.

"——"

As if something was blocking his throat, Kato Yusuke was speechless for a moment.

He wanted to find a random topic to lighten the atmosphere, but he couldn't make a sound.

As for the reason, it was because he himself was thinking the same thing as Hui.

He subconsciously believes that he enjoys a special status in Hui's heart. Only he can stand by her side, share everything about her, and protect her.

If she finds that there is a boy around Hui who is more sympathetic to her... a sticky feeling of boredom will arise spontaneously.

He understood what the other person said actually meant, and also understood why he felt a little bitter in his heart.

It's absolutely normal for Hui to be angry and sad if you leave it to others.

The reality is not that there are no unreasonable accommodations and compromises, and every step is full of unknowns.

The girl he likes is not a character in the second dimension, but a unique existence with her own emotions and thoughts.

She is both troublesome and vivid.

When he was wandering away from the world due to thousands of thoughts, the girl's next words brought him back to reality.

"...Let me ask you, regarding Miss Sayu, what do you plan to do in the future?"

Kato Yusuke pondered the meaning behind her words and said cautiously: "Actually, Xiao Shi and I also said the same thing, that I will never interfere in the association's affairs again."

Hui looked at him and asked without emotion: "...Can you do that kind of thing?"

"It's okay." Kato Yusuke looked directly into her eyes, wrapped his hands around hers, and said softly, "I promise."

The girl raised her face and stared at the ceiling for a while, her dark eyes reflecting the lights of the hotel, wondering what she was thinking.

Then she shook her head slightly and finally said:

"I think...it's really strange for you to make such a guarantee. Anyway, the association founded by Yusuke has really helped a lot of people."

Kato Yusuke was a little confused about her thoughts, and said tactfully: "Well, if you have any other requests, you can ask me, and I will cooperate."

"Well, I can't say it's a request, but I do have something I want you to promise me."

"What is it?"

Hui turned to look at him and said calmly: "If something happens again next time, I won't stop you, but I hope you can take me with you."

Kato Yusuke listened blankly, wanting to ask "That's it?", but he felt it was inappropriate.

He originally expected to hear more stringent requirements and was mentally prepared accordingly, but the result turned out to be so relaxed that it was beyond his expectation!

But then I thought about it, this is very much the other person’s style…

Kato Yusuke smiled bitterly in his heart and nodded in shame, "Okay, I promise you, and I'm sorry."

Hui nodded lightly, and just when he was about to speak, his cousin Kato Keiichi suddenly came in a hurry.

"Xiao Hui, have you seen Brother-in-law Jiyong? Is there someone-uh?"

He stopped mid-sentence, his eyes fell on Kato Yusuke's face, and he said in surprise: "Huh? You are not the one in the mall last time..."

Kato Yusuke's eyes moved and he recognized the person.

He pretended not to notice Hui's hurried hand away, stood up from his seat and stretched out his right hand.

"Hello, Keiichi-nii, I'm Kei's classmate Yusuke Kato. Nice to meet you."

"Uh, hello, Kato-kun..." Kato Keiichi followed the atmosphere and shook hands with him, looking over his face, always feeling that something was wrong.

Kato Keiichi has always had a good memory.

Although he only met him once at Starbucks in the mall last time, and the two of them didn't even talk to each other, he was still deeply impressed by the boy Hui liked.

But now he didn't know what was going on. He felt that this person seemed different from the last time he saw him. He had a presence that could not be ignored.

Hui Ji quickly sorted out her image and asked calmly: "Brother Keiichi, aren't you going to be the best man for Yoshinaga's brother-in-law? Why are you here?"

Kato Keiichi reacted suddenly when he heard the reminder.

"Oh! Yes, yes!" He slapped his forehead and asked anxiously:

"Have you seen Mrs. Yoshinaga? He said that two important foreign clients were coming to attend the wedding. He just ran out to pick them up. But now everyone has arrived, but he doesn't know where he went."

Kato Yusuke and Megumi looked towards the entrance of the banquet hall, and sure enough they found two tall foreigners standing there, surrounded by Kato Kazuto, Kato Emi and others.

The two sides were gesticulating and exchanging words, with trouble written all over their faces.

Hui shook her head, "Sorry, brother Keiichi, I haven't seen brother-in-law Yoshinaga. Can't you give him a call?"

Kato Keiichi smiled bitterly: "The problem is that brother-in-law Yoshinaga left his cell phone in the lounge, and now no one can contact him.

This is nothing. The trouble is that the two customers are Russians and cannot understand Japanese. Everyone is worried about what to do. "

There was distress in his tone.

As a medical student, he knew English and German, but the people who came were two Russians! He could only stare.

When Yusuke Kato heard this, his thoughts moved and he said: "Brother Keiichi, if you need help with translation, maybe I can help."

""Huh--? ""

As soon as these words came out, both brother and sister were stunned.

Kato Keiichi was surprised: "Kato-kun, do you still know Russian??"

"Yeah." Kato Yusuke nodded and said humbly: "I understand a little bit."

"Wow, that's great! Please come and help me!" Kato Keiichi said and wanted to pull him away, but Kei stopped him.

"Wait, Yusuke." Hui frowned slightly, glanced at the two foreigners at the entrance, and whispered: "Are you really okay? This is not the time to show off."

Although she understood that Yusuke Kato had good intentions, she still didn't want him to go.

After all, those two foreigners are important clients of his brother-in-law. If he says anything wrong and makes the other party angry, who will bear the responsibility?

This is the case with some things. If you do it, it may not be beneficial, but if you don't do it, you will definitely not make a mistake.

Faced with her tactful hint, someone seemed to not understand and said carelessly: "It's okay, I know what's going on, don't worry."

Hui's frown deepened, and she didn't say anything, just looking at him.

Kato Yusuke thought for a while, leaned into her ear, and whispered to her as if whispering——

"Okay, just wait here for me. I won't embarrass our parents."

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled the dumbfounded Keiichi Kato towards the entrance.

"..."

Hui gently pinched her hot ears with one hand, pursed her lips unconsciously, and couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.

"Why are our parents... so shameless..."

She muttered and sat down, her eyes always following the slender figure, causing ripples in her originally calm heart.

It's not just her.

As the two handsome guys Kato Yusuke and Kato Keiichi moved, the eyes of the guests in the banquet hall also moved.

Under everyone's gaze, the two arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall.

Kato Yusuke first greeted the parents of the couple politely, and then started chatting with the two Russians.

Faced with his conversation, the two Russians changed their previous worries, with deep surprise on their faces, and they talked to him with gestures.

Kato Yusuke had a decent smile on his face, and while patiently listening to their words, he helped the Kato couple and Yoshinaga couple to translate.

That confident and high-spirited look attracted everyone's attention.

Because she was sitting far away, Hui couldn't hear the conversation over there and could only judge by people's reactions.

Kato Yusuke did not lie to her. He solved the problem in a few words and comforted the two Russians to sit down at a certain table.

By coincidence, her brother-in-law Ji Yong also rushed back at this time. After learning the whole story, he immediately held someone's hand and expressed his gratitude.

So Hui saw a somewhat funny scene.

Her parents, cousin, brother-in-law, and brother-in-law's parents were all thanking someone, but someone didn't dare to show off at all. He treated his family members respectfully and cautiously, and there was no trace of it. The identity of a well-known game producer?

She is funny, helpless, and a little sweet at the same time.

Of course she understood that it was for her own sake that he would spare no effort to please his family.

'If I can really be with him, I should be well loved and cared for, right? '

Hui couldn't help but think about it, and didn't even notice Kato Yusuke's return until he jokingly asked, "How is it? It shouldn't embarrass our family, right?" and then reacted belatedly.

She glanced around without leaving a trace.

Isn't there no shame?

He earned enough face for her family. Many relatives asked his parents about his origins, and the smiles on their faces were obviously more.

She asked softly: "When did you learn Russian?"

Kato Yusuke said: "Oh, because you ignored me during this period, I developed a hobby of reading and learned something."

"What's the truth?"

"Well, actually I've known it for a long time. I just thought it would make you happy."

Hui nodded noncommittally, with the corners of her lips slightly raised into a shallow smile.

Even though they have known each other for so long, he can still surprise her like this from time to time.

Apart from not being able to belong to her alone, he seemed to have no other shortcomings.

…
