Chapter 307 Haruno, can you let me punch you?
The atmosphere in Miyazawa's house was inexplicably frozen.
After Haruno Sawayama brought Maki in, the two of them sat obediently opposite the two elders, while Mana sat in the "old seat" from last time. At this moment, he was looking at the people in the venue with some hesitation. .
"Zeshan."
In the end, Miyazawa's father, who seemed more calm, broke the deadlock of silence.
He looked at Haruno Sawayama, who was sitting opposite, and asked unhurriedly: "I heard that you wrote a book?"
"Yes."
Sawayama Haruno's face was confused for a moment, but when he reacted, he immediately explained.
"I wrote a book when I was free, and luckily it was published. I didn't expect that my uncle would also hear about it."
"It's not really just heard."
Miyazawa's father noticed that his wife's expression was a little surprised, so he lowered his voice and said slowly: "When I was on a business trip in Nagoya, I bought a book from a bookstore near the hotel called "Norwegian Wood". This is a very good novel.”
"Because the author's pen name, in terms of the meaning of Chinese characters, is somewhat opposite to Zeshan's name, so I have always been deeply impressed."
"When I went home the day before yesterday, I saw exactly the same book in the study."
Miyazawa's father paused and smiled apologetically at his eldest daughter.
"Sorry, that seems to be your thing, but I opened it and took a look, and found that it was signed by Zeshan, so I guessed that it might have been written by him."
"Dad."
Miyazawa Mana's face suddenly turned red after being poked by him.
However, Maki Miyazawa on the side was not in a good mood.
She secretly stretched out her hand and pinched the tender flesh of Haruye Sawayama's waist to show her inner dissatisfaction.
This guy actually signed Mana's book. Damn it, she wasn't even wrong. She seemed to have it, but it was just thrown on the bookshelf.
Forget it, let’s let the other side go.
Maki Miyazawa angrily withdrew his hand, completely ignoring the helpless expressions of his parents sitting opposite him.
"A pen name?"
Sawayama Haruno pretended to be calm, as if nothing had happened just now, smiled and said: "I originally wanted to keep a low profile so I chose a pen name, but I didn't expect that someone familiar with it would see it at a glance."
If he had known earlier, he should not have reversed his name one by one and used it as a pen name. Even Miyazawa's father could see it, and I'm afraid other people who know him better could also see it.
By the way, people in school probably don’t know yet, right?
Haruno Sawayama thought about what it would be like if his classmates knew about it, and suddenly felt very dizzy.
Is there someone who is out of character like Maki and comes over to ask himself: "Zawayama, Zeshan, how did you write such obscene literature?" No, it doesn't work. Just thinking about it gives me a headache. It feels inexplicable. A sense of social death.
"Did Zeshan actually write his own book? This is the first time I know about it."
Miyazawa's mother's eyes fell on Mana, and she asked with a hint of solicitation: "Can you show me the book later?"
"It's in the study. Mom can read it anytime she wants."
Seeing that the other party said so, Zhenna had no choice but to agree.
The expression on Maki's face became more and more resentful.
"Then, let's put the book aside for now."
Miyazawa's father promptly interrupted the mother and daughter who were discussing.
I saw him looking at Haruno Sawayama, and said with great seriousness: "I have heard them talk about the specific situation of you and Maki, minus the unnecessary unpleasantness and unnecessary extravagant thoughts, that is to say. ”
Halfway through his words, he suddenly paused for no reason.
It seemed like nothing happened, just a normal speech jam.
But only Haruno Sawayama, who was extremely observant, noticed that Miyazawa's mother slowly pulled her hand out of the other party's waist as if nothing had happened.
Good guy, is he pinched?
The corners of Sawayama Haruno's eyes twitched slightly. Should he say that they were indeed mother and daughter?
Although they are not biological children, Maki and her mother always have a frightening tacit understanding at times like this.
As soon as the other party heard what her husband said, "It's unnecessary to be unhappy and there's more to think about," he immediately started to pinch her without saying a word.
Haruno Sawayama suddenly had a strange feeling that he and his future father-in-law were the same people, so that when the two of them chatted next time, he couldn't bear to watch the other person's waist being secretly pinched by Miyazawa's mother.
"That is to say."
After a brief pause, Miyazawa's father finally said the next words slowly.
"Are you planning to get married now?"
"Yes, we have plans in this regard."
Seeing this, Haruno Sawayama quickly explained: "I have no irresponsible thoughts. After I learned that Maki was pregnant because of my relationship, I planned to register for marriage as soon as possible."
"To be honest, we got the marriage issue back two days ago, but we haven't filled it out yet."
He held Miyazawa Maki's slightly uneasy little hand and said seriously: "We just plan to come here to get your blessings and then register."
"Really?"
Miyazawa's father showed a happy smile.
"My daughter has a bad personality. She has always been troublesome for Sawayama." "No, Maki is a very cute girl to me." Haruno Sawayama said immediately.
A very pertinent sentence. After all, you are now asking the other person's parents for their opinions on whether you can get the blessing of getting married.
But Haruno Sawayama never expected that at the moment these words came out of his mouth, almost everyone in the venue except him looked at Miyazawa Mana in unison.
His expression instantly froze.
"A very cute girl"
Miyazawa's mother gave him a meaningful look.
It seemed as if nothing had been said, and yet it seemed as if everything had been said.
Even Maki, who was still provoking her sister triumphantly, couldn't help but pinch her again.
It hurts
Sawayama Haruno screamed inwardly, but the expression on his face remained calm as he said: "Speaking of which, Maki, you also have something to tell your aunt, right?"
"Eh"
Unexpectedly, Haruno Sawayama stated his purpose so simply, and Maki Miyazawa was immediately stunned.
But Miyazawa's mother seemed to be ready to have a serious chat with her. After a short moment of silence, she looked at Maki and asked proactively: "Let's go upstairs and talk?"
"Oh"
Maki Miyazawa pursed his lips and said with some reluctance: "Whatever, I just have a few questions to ask."
After saying that, she took the lead and stood up from the sofa and walked towards the stairs without looking back.
Seeing this, Miyazawa's mother slowly stood up, but she took Mana with her before leaving.
He probably wanted to leave the living room to two men who were about to discuss business.
Seeing that his wife and daughters had all gone upstairs, Miyazawa's father pondered for a moment and took the initiative to take out a tea set.
“I bought this tea on a business trip to Nagoya before.”
He said with some emotion: "Every time I come back from a business trip, I buy some famous local products, but very few of them are actually used. After all, I have to go out and run around again within a few days after I come back."
"Zawashan. No, Haruno, can I call you this?"
"Please feel free to do so." Haruno Sawayama nodded quickly.
"Haruno's job is to write novels. To be honest, this kind of work is quite good. At least it can be done at home."
Miyazawa's father smiled helplessly and said: "Sometimes I want to spend more time with my family, but due to the company's decision, I have no choice."
"Generally, those who meet the age limit can apply for overseas assignment, right?" Haruno Sawayama asked curiously.
"Indeed, you can apply next year."
Miyazawa's father handed over the brewed tea and said casually: "Where is Haruno? Will there be any worries at work? According to Maki's character, he will pester you, right?"
"That's not true. She actually has her own social activities. Even when I wanted to go out to write novels, she was basically working part-time or making appointments with friends."
Sawayama Haruno paused and said with a smile: "There is also a cat at home to keep her company, so she doesn't deliberately choose to come and chat when I have to work."
Maki Miyazawa still seems quite sensible in a place like this. When he was writing a book before, he really didn't bother him when he shouldn't.
Of course, as compensation, after writing the book, Haruno Sawayama must give her a more generous "reward".
However, it is better not to mention this kind of thing in front of my future father-in-law.
"Maki has become a lot more sensible too, and following Haruno is indeed a good choice."
Miyazawa's father said helplessly: "Her mother is also a gender-dysfunctional person, and Mana may not feel comfortable being caught between the two of them."
"To be honest, I was relieved when I heard Haruno said that he hoped to marry Maki."
"Uncle."
Zeshan Haruno suddenly felt happy.
However, before he could be happy for a while, the other party's words made him a little shy and afraid to speak.
Miyazawa's father said quietly: "But what should we do about Mana's problem?"
"I also heard that Zhenna seems to have never let go of her feelings for you. Just looking at the reaction just now, it is not difficult to see that Zhenna still likes you even now."
"I never thought that sisters with the same appearance would fall in love with the same man."
Miyazawa's father sighed and suddenly said: "Haruno, can you let me punch you?"
".Please."
Sawayama Haruno obediently sat forward, and even took the initiative to stretch his face over.
But what greeted him was not pain, but some incomprehensible looks.
"Don't you understand jokes?"
"Huh?"
Sawayama Haruno twitched the corner of his mouth.
Is that a joke?
No matter how I look at it, I don’t think so. You just played the role of a gloomy old father!
By the way, aren't you usually the kind of person who doesn't laugh or smile? Why would you make such a joke in private? Mana has never told me such a thing!
