Chapter 171 Suguha failed to steal!


Chapter 171 Suguha failed to steal!

White steam kept coming out of the water outlet of the kettle, and Suguha Esaki carried it back to Haruno Sawayama.

She was still sitting on her knees just like before. Compared with Haruno Sawayama who sat down cross-legged directly, she looked much more elegant and decent.

People can't help but feel that she is indeed a eldest lady from a famous family, and she really has the feeling of a docile woman in ancient times serving others.

"Although I have heard of wealthy families cultivating girls with tea skills, this is the first time I have seen it in reality."

Haruno Sawayama watched her start the subsequent process of making tea, and couldn't help but ask: "Has Suguha ever joined the tea ceremony club?"

"There is no such department in my high school. Even if there was, I might not be able to join because my time is spent on studying and kendo."

"That's it"

Sawayama Haruno touched his chin. It seemed that the eldest lady from a famous family also had unspeakable suffering.

He was relatively comfortable in his first and second years of high school, and it was only in his third grade that he started to get busy.

Compared to Suguha Ezaki, who seems to have been given extra clear instructions since the first grade, he can already be said to be the kind of person who leads a more laid-back and leisurely life.

"Speaking of which, did Shiori go out again?"

Haruno Sawayama put his hands behind his back, tilted his head and said curiously: "I saw the message that editor Morikawa sent in our Kyoto business trip communication group this morning, but after that, Shiori asked me to continue sending the manuscript to She said she would look at it in the afternoon."

"Master?"

Hearing this, Esaki Suguha moved her hands.

She whispered: "I just went to her courtyard to take a look, and I happened to see her changing clothes and going out."

This sentence was not a lie. Mine Shiori did have to go out for something, and Esaki Suguha even sent someone to drive him there.

Of course, why Mine Shiori went out is a bit difficult to explain to Ezaki Suguha.

Well, I can only say that if there is a first time for such a thing, there will be a second time.

"Really? It seems that Shiori is also working very hard."

Sawayama Haruno couldn't help pinching his eyebrows and chuckled: "But fortunately, today's progress should be caught up soon."

". Haruno actually doesn't need to be so anxious. In this competition, it's possible."

"Oh, you want to say there might be an inside story, right?"

Haruno Sawayama shrugged and said disapprovingly: "This kind of thing happens everywhere, but I am still very confident in the book. Even if I encounter a shady situation, I can still make achievements as long as I have a chance."

"Yeah."

Esaki Suguha raised her eyes and stared at him, as if she was in an inexplicable trance.

Although the movements in her hands did not slow down at all, she was indeed looking at Haruno Sawayama.

"Then, please give me a look after you finish writing it."

"Okay, you can read it if you want." Haruno Sawayama said casually, "According to the schedule, it will be finished soon. It's just a matter of refinement. It will be done when the document is handed in tomorrow afternoon at the latest. I’ll send you another copy then.”

"Thanks."

Esaki Suguha nodded.

She didn't say anything about using a bigger secret to help Haruno Sawayama, because she knew that the other party would refuse without saying anything.

If Haruno Sawayama still wanted to win the championship after knowing about the shady story, he would have asked for help long ago.

Since he hasn't said anything until now, it proves that the other party also has his own "stubbornness".

Suguha Ezaki knew very well that most men would hate relying on women's relationships to achieve success. After all, it was a matter of a man's own dignity.

Therefore, as long as Haruno Sawayama doesn't speak, she will never do anything unnecessary.

"But nothing else counts," she added inwardly.

That's right, not doing unnecessary things only refers to career achievements. The unnecessary things she is doing now are truly out of her own selfishness.

Just for the wish of "wanting to be remembered by Haruno for a lifetime".

No matter what the cost, I want to achieve it.

Anyway, after this, they will take completely different paths. In this case, there is nothing to worry about now.

Thinking of this, Esaki Suguha took a deep breath, slowly picked up the brewed tea and handed it to the other party.

"Haruno, tea is ready."

"Oh, thank you."

Sawayama Haruno reacted quickly. After sitting upright, he took the tea offered by the other party with some solemnity.

Thanks to the fact that Esaki Suguha is wearing a yukata and has such an elegant way of making tea, he has to be more serious now.

However, there is indeed something different about serving tea to a beauty, especially to such a person who can be called a beauty.

It's not the kind of inexplicable ambiguity, nor the inexplicable charm, nor the sense of accomplishment of conquering something. It's a natural and happy mood.

The ancient saying "red sleeves add fragrance, bare hands grind ink" probably refers to this scene.

Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but start thinking wildly, but the movements of his hands were not slow at all.

He brought the tea to his mouth, blew on it briefly, and then took a sip.

The aroma of tea lingers on the tip of the tongue, neither sweet nor bitter, but it has a lingering, delicate and inexplicable aftertaste.

It is indeed a good tea.

Haruno Sawayama spoke out his inner admiration without hesitation, but Suguha Esaki still didn't seem to care about it.

"Haruno, just drink it if you like."

She just said this lightly.

But those beautiful eyes kept scanning back and forth over Haruno Sawayama's body.

There are more and more questions in my heart.

She had already given a lot of doses, so why did Haruno still look like he was fine?

Could it be that there is something wrong with the medicine?

It's impossible. Ever since Takashi asked for help buying medicine that day, she specifically asked the servants at home to buy the kind of medicine that is harmless to the body but has "good" effects.

He even bought several bottles at once, but only sent two bottles to Maki, and the rest were brought to Kyoto by himself. The lunch just now and the tea now were almost filled with more than half a bottle, but Haruno's expression remained unchanged?

Esaki Suguha was a little confused.

"I asked, does Haruno feel a little hot? Is the ventilation in the courtyard not very good?"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Haruno Sawayama, who was still enjoying his tea, was stunned for a moment.

However, he quickly reacted and said casually: "Fortunately, although there is no air conditioning, it is still very cool overall. After all, there is a large lake not far from the courtyard. I feel that the corridor has been carefully designed. Even if You won’t feel stuffy even if you stay in the room at noon. ”

"Yeah."

Hearing what he said, Esaki Suguha seemed even more disappointed.

It really has no effect, this medicine

Is it a drug problem or a human problem?

Could it be that Haruno Sawayama's body is so strong that the medicine takes effect very slowly?

So, should we increase the dose?

Just as Esaki Suguha was hesitating, Sawayama Haruno, who had finished drinking the tea, put down the cup in his hand and wondered: "Suguha, aren't you going to drink?"

".oh."

Esaki Suguha came back to her senses and whispered: "Because this is the first pot, I want Haruno to taste it as much as possible. I will make another pot later."

After saying that, she took the kettle and stood up again to boil some hot water.

The tall girl's alluring figure outlined by the slightly tight yukata also showed her perfect curves as she slowly stood up.

Seeing this, Haruno Sawayama swallowed inexplicably.

"Wait, I won't be affected by Maki, right?"

Zeshan Chun's ambition was frightened, and he quickly gathered his thoughts.

Although I had looked at it a few more times out of curiosity, I didn't think that it would make me think of something that made people think "unexpectedly".

Sure enough, it must have been influenced by Maki.

Ever since I took that guy in, my life has become weirder and weirder, and I have more and more thoughts in my head.

Falling in love will indeed change a person.

I don’t know if it’s an inner misunderstanding. If I continue to think along the lines of “It’s Maki’s fault,” I will think of more unspeakable things.

He even felt that his body was getting warmer.

Fortunately, the wind in the courtyard of Ginkakuji Temple is still very cool. As long as I forcefully control my brain and not think about things in that direction, there should be no problem.

Thinking of this, Haruno Sawayama took a few deep breaths again and adjusted his state slightly.

Seeing that the distracting thoughts in his heart still failed to subside, he simply stood up and said to Esaki Suguha: "Well, I'm going to the bathroom."

"Please feel free to do so."

Esaki Suguha turned around and smiled slightly.

Haruno Sawayama didn't doubt that he was there, so he quickly went out to the bathroom. After clearing the excess "water" from his body, he also used the sink to wash his face and calm down forcibly.

After that, he returned to his room.

And Suguha Esaki, who had already prepared the hot water, had been waiting for it for a long time.

The two continued to chat while drinking tea, and this time the topic gradually turned to other places.

After all, there was a rare opportunity in front of him. Haruno Sawayama wanted to find out as much as possible what the crisis mentioned in the system mission was about.

And if you want to understand this part, "communication" with Ezaki Suguha is essential.

Time passed quickly in the blink of an eye.

With one meal and several pots of tea, Esaki Suguha was forced to stay in Haruno Sawayama's room for more than an hour.

However, after seeing that no matter how many "little ingredients" he added, it had no effect on Haruno Sawayama, Suguha Esaki could only leave temporarily no matter how unwilling he was.

After she exited the room, Haruno Sawayama took a short rest, and soon continued to sit in front of the computer desktop and start typing.

I don’t know if it’s the “effect of tea” as Suguha Ezaki said, or if it’s due to other special reasons. When Haruno Sawayama sat down again this time, inspiration seemed to be bursting out in a steady stream. .

The remaining ten thousand words were also completed at an astonishing speed.

Not even half of the afternoon passed, and he finally finished writing the final part of "Norwegian Wood".

After that, Haruno Sawayama returned to the previous content non-stop and started the intensive part.

As time passes by, the progress of the novel is also increasing.

What Sawayama Haruno failed to notice was that there seemed to be some inexplicable changes inside the body.

In the central imperial garden, Suguha Esaki looked at the small bottle in her hand, her face uncertain.

"How come it doesn't work?"

She frowned slightly and murmured in confusion: "You have obviously put down a whole bottle of dosage. If you are a normal person, you must have already reacted again, right?"

She really couldn't figure it out. She had already considered the possibility of "Sawayama Haruno's physical strength", but she still failed to achieve her goal.

If the medicine didn't work, how could Haruno impress him with his toughness and conquest?

Let alone letting the other party forcefully occupy you, in the current situation, if you take the initiative, the other party will refuse without hesitation, right?

Nervous.

Esaki Suguha sighed.

Is it really a problem with the medicine? Why don't you try it yourself?

She stared at the medicine bottle, a little confused, but finally put it aside and didn't try again.

She would not be stupid enough to actually use herself as an experiment. Let alone what would happen if the medicine takes effect on herself, it would be too late to just talk about the follow-up schedule.

According to the time he told me, the master might be ready to come back in less than an hour.

Haruno also said just now that "Norwegian Wood" will be completed soon, and the master will most likely go to his room to chat about the novel.

Even if he wanted to find another opportunity, he could only wait until night.

But if it doesn’t work now, what should I do at night?

Esaki Suguha stared at the scenery outside, dazed.
