Chapter 168 Maki’s unexpected incident
Just when Esaki Suguha was explaining the matter of his bodyguard, in the living room on the other side of the courtyard, Sawayama Haruno was sitting in front of his computer, frowning and thinking deeply.
He was thinking about the context of the entire book.
Logically speaking, this kind of thing should be thought through before writing, but since Haruno Sawayama is transporting it, there is no need to make so much preparation in advance.
However, considering that he seemed to be unable to get into the mood this morning, he thought it was best to take this time to think about the rhythm and direction of the entire book.
No matter how powerful his memory is, there will inevitably be some omissions. What he has to do now is to recall these vague parts as clearly as possible, and then see where they need to be modified.
It's a pity
After staring at the computer screen for a while, Haruno Sawayama still had no idea.
There is no inspiration when I want to code.
On the contrary, there was an inexplicable and disturbing emotion lingering in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen.
——A very bad feeling.
"What's going on?"
Sawayama Haruno rubbed his eyebrows and said to himself slightly tiredly: "You should have had a good rest last night."
I don’t understand, but I have nothing to do. Why don’t I just read the novel from the beginning again?
Although Mine Shiori helped check many areas that could be improved, the more the merrier, the better.
Moreover, this book is his debut. It is the first time in his life to write a book, so he feels somewhat uneasy.
Great, then do this and read the book from the beginning again.
Haruno Sawayama took a deep breath and was about to pull the document to the top when the charging cell phone next to him suddenly rang, abruptly interrupting his movement.
"?"
Sawayama Haruno turned his head subconsciously.
Displayed on the screen of the mobile phone was a name that had not appeared in front of him for several days.
——Ayano Yui.
"."
Sawayama Haruno hesitated for a moment before unplugging the data cable.
After answering the phone, he asked with some confusion: "Wei, what's wrong?"
"Oh, bro——"
The careless voice of my cousin soon came from the other end of the phone.
"Where are you, brother? You haven't seen me for several days."
"I'm on a business trip in Kyoto right now. Didn't you tell me on LINE that you were very busy a few days ago, so I didn't contact you much?"
"It seems that there is such a thing."
Ayano Yui snorted and explained: "That's because I have been busy participating in school competitions these days."
"Is it from Dongyi University?"
"Yes. But this is not what I called this time."
On the other end of the phone, the girl giggled for no reason.
"A good news and a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
"What kind of tricks are you playing this time?" Haruno Sawayama sighed and said helplessly into the phone, "Any one will do, tell me quickly."
"Okay, let's not delay my work. Let's start with the good news."
Ayano Yui paused deliberately for a moment, and then said with a smile: "First of all, the good news, your cousin is sitting with your cousin drinking tea, and they get along pretty well."
"My cousin and my cousin"
Sawayama Haruno quickly realized something was wrong.
It goes without saying that Yui Ayano is her cousin.
The other cousin... I'm talking about Maki Miyazawa, right? After all, because I wanted to explain the relationship between the two to Takashima Kazuki, I casually mentioned the setting of a cousin.
However, this matter was accidentally discovered by Ayano Yui some time ago.
etc?
That being said.
"Wei, you ran to my house??"
Sawayama Haruno said with a look of astonishment.
"Hey, there's a reason, there's a reason."
Ayano Yui on the other end of the phone seemed a little careless, and while she was answering perfunctorily, someone else's voice seemed to be coming through.
But before Haruno Sawayama could listen carefully, she quickly told the second piece of bad news.
"Bad news, auntie is coming to Tokyo and has already arrived!"
Sawayama Haruno's expression changed instantly.
"What's the meaning?"
Sawayama Haruno's tone couldn't help but become a little more urgent.
"Mother came to Tokyo? Why didn't I receive a notice from her? When did she come?"
"Be calm and don't be restless, brother, even I don't know."
On the other end of the phone, Ayano Yui tried her best to comfort Haruno Sawayama, who was obviously a little impatient.
She could more or less understand why Haruno was anxious.
After all, his mother suddenly "attacked" and successfully discovered that he and his ex's twin sister were living together?
No matter how you think about it, you will think that society is dead, right?
But this was one of the reasons why she made this call, intending to use this matter to sell her brother a favor.
"Auntie sent me the message after she came to our apartment first." Ayano Yui on the phone replied patiently, "That's why I didn't know about it for long."
"Right now, I'm hiding in the bathroom to give you a secret report. The girl named Maki is chatting with her aunt outside, but it seems that her aunt has figured out her identity, right?"
"After all, we live under the same roof, and there are all kinds of things that can prove the fact of living together. There are several pieces of your clothes hanging on the balcony."
"Wait a moment." Haruno Sawayama interrupted her words, rubbed his eyebrows and said slightly tiredly, "Is mother here alone? How is the situation outside now?"
"I'm not sure. I don't dare to go out and take a look. But from now on, the chatter has stopped."
"Yeah."
Sawayama Haruno's expression was a bit unpleasant.
His mother's sudden visit was beyond his expectation. After all, he hadn't even had time to confess Maki's affairs to him.
If you get a bad impression from the other party now, it may become particularly troublesome later. What's more, he didn't have the confidence to let Maki Miyazawa deal with his mother alone.
"I"
"It goes without saying."
Ayano Yui spoke first.
"I know what brother means, but I also have conditions."
"What conditions?"
Hearing what she said, Sawayama Haruno breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Ayano Yui is willing to help and keep an eye on things, there should be no problem.
After all, she had been very good at dealing with her mother since she was a child.
As for the requirements
After all, this was a special juncture. His mother came to Tokyo without saying a word, which really left him unprepared. It was impossible to abandon the matter in Kyoto and run back to solve it.
Therefore, as long as the current situation can be stabilized, it doesn't matter even if your wallet is bleeding.
If it doesn't work, I'll just feed Ayano water for the first time.
"The conditions are very simple."
Ayano Yui's slightly cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Next time brother goes out to play, just remember to take me with you."
On the other side, in a high-end apartment in Shinjuku District, Tokyo.
After ending the call, Ayano Yui poked her head out of the bathroom with a guilty conscience like a child who had done something bad, but she happened to bump into Salmon Balls who had slipped into the opposite bedroom.
Without thinking, she made a slightly scary grimace with bared teeth. Salmon Ball screamed and immediately ran away into the bedroom and never came out again.
The short-haired girl's surprised voice soon came from the living room outside.
"Eh, salmon balls?"
"It's okay, it's okay!"
After hearing the other party's obviously nervous voice, Ayano Yui immediately put on a smiling expression and walked out of the bathroom.
"Sorry, it seems I suddenly opened the door and scared the child." She added.
"Really, when will Xiao Wei become more mature?"
The one who spoke was the young woman sitting on the other side of the sofa with her hair tied up.
I saw her holding a teacup and looking at Ayano Yui helplessly.
If there is a third party, you will be a little surprised to find that her appearance is inexplicably similar to Haruno Sawayama, but if you put it in front of someone who knows each other, such as Ayano Yui, you will not find it surprising. Feel.
The reason is very simple, the other party is Haruno's mother, Ako Sawayama.
"So I said sorry, Auntie."
Ayano Yui stuck out her tongue, took the initiative to sit next to Ako Sawayama, hugged her arm and said coquettishly: "I really won't do this again, I'm sorry~"
"Even if you want to apologize, it's not for me."
Seeing Yui Ayano, who she had seen since childhood, looking like half a daughter, looking like this, Ako Sawayama also seemed very helpless.
Although she is a little soft-hearted, she can't just be too doting on Ayano Yui in front of another girl.
What's more, this other girl still lives in her son's home.
In addition, there is another reason.
"Continue the topic just now?"
Ako Sawayama turned around and looked at Maki Miyazawa, who was a little uneasy. After hesitating for a moment, he said softly: "In other words, you are Mana's sister?"
"Ah, yes, um."
Maki Miyazawa was hesitant and couldn't say a word.
But this is normal, right? !
Until now, her mind is still blank!
She just woke up and was about to go to the video game store to work. As soon as she went out, she met this young aunt who also happened to come out of the elevator.
Before he could react, the other party blurted out and affectionately called himself "Mana".
At that moment, she knew that she had been mistaken for someone again, and she also guessed the other person's actual identity.
Then she was confused and invited this young aunt to the house that was supposed to belong to her son.
By the way, when you invited the other person in just now, did you use honorifics, did you bow slightly, and did you extend your hand to the door to show welcome?
Even if I did this, it would be very strange, because this is my son’s home!
It's over, it's over, why is it like this?
Auntie must also think she is strange, right? !
Just thinking about it, the short-haired girl felt like she couldn't breathe, and her face turned pale.
Fortunately, Ako Sawayama seemed to be friendlier than she expected and was not in a hurry to make things difficult for her.
"Does that mean they are identical twins?"
Ako Sawayama suddenly clapped his hands and said with some joy: "Haruno told me before, but I always thought he was several years younger, but since they look exactly the same, they are identical twins, right? "
"right"
"Twins are so good." Ako Sawayama immediately looked at her with a slightly envious look and explained, "Actually, I have always hoped to have twins, at least to give Haruno a companion."
"Hey, wait, auntie!"
Ayano Yui on the side immediately protested, "Can't I be counted as my brother's companion?"
"Of course, Xiao Wei is also very good, but the twins should be more special."
While gently stroking Ayano Yui's head, Ako Sawayama said with a smile: "I kind of want to see the twin brothers wearing the same style of clothes."
No, auntie, please never do that.
Maki Miyazawa swallowed and couldn't help but cursed in her heart.
What she hates the most is the "perfunctory" behavior of parents towards their twin children.
But the person in front of her is Haruno's mother after all, so even if she hates her, she can't show it.
Ako Sawayama didn't seem to notice her expression. After comforting Ayano Yui, he turned around and smiled: "Did Maki grow this hairstyle on purpose?"
"Yes, because there are always people who will confuse me with my sister." Maki Miyazawa said with an embarrassed expression, "That's why I deliberately had a different short hair."
What should I do? Will the other person think that girls with long hair are more feminine?
It seems that most people have the stereotype that girls like Yamato Nadeshiko must have long hair, right?
Not only does my hair have short hair, it has also been permed into a slightly curly look.
Wow, why did it become like this!
"That's it. I'm really sorry for admitting my mistake just now."
Sawayama Ako smiled slightly.
"Because I was not mentally prepared in advance, I recognized the wrong person."
"No, it's okay."
Seeing that the other party's attitude was more friendly than expected, Miyazawa Maki's nerves also calmed down involuntarily.
Just when she thought Haruno's mother was surprisingly easy to talk to, the other person's next words made her freeze in place.
"Speaking of which, Maki has also been dating Haruno for a long time, right?"
