Chapter 235 Shiori wants to get closer
Outside a residential area in Bunkyo District, Tokyo.
Naoto Esaki drove a black car and slowly parked on the side of the road.
“That’s enough, right?”
“Well, I’d like to trouble you, Naoto-senpai.”
“It’s not really a trouble, I’m on my way too, I’ll go there later It’s just a company.”
Ezaki Naoto smiled without any concern.
"That's it, we'll talk next time when we have a chance."
"No problem." Haruno Sawayama said simply.
After getting off the black car, he first watched the other party drive away, then turned around and walked slowly towards the residential area.
Everything that happened in the Esaki family before began to appear in my mind like a fleeting glimpse.
"Is it an exam?" Haruno Zeshan said silently.
To be honest, he is not very worried about the so-called exam. After all, he has reached this point and can only take one step at a time.
What really worries him is whether there will be any problems with Naoto Ezaki. After all, the old man separated himself from the other party to talk, and it must be more than just talking about the exam.
Based on what the old man revealed intentionally or unintentionally, as well as what Suguha said before, it is likely that my uncle is going to be suppressed by the old man.
In addition, the sudden appearance of Suguha’s biological mother and other members of the Esaki family may be a typical “adding insult to injury” behavior. I didn’t expect such a big family to engage in such a snitching thing. Surprisingly down to earth.
Recalling the appearance of that skinny woman, Haruno Sawayama couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"I don't see any connection with Suguha at all." He thought to himself.
It is estimated that Suguha's father's escape had a great impact on this woman. Of course, a large part of the reason was related to the restriction of her personal freedom, which led to her current situation.
Logically speaking, after all, I had a relationship with the other party's daughter, so I had to say hello to her. However, the relationship between Suguha and her was too subtle, and Haruno Sawayama was also involved. It was also a bit uncomfortable to speak.
This is a completely different problem than what Miyazawa Maki faces.
Miyazawa Maki's mother is just as cold and delicate as she is. She has a sharp mouth and a soft heart. She is extremely awkward, but she is actually a mother who cares about her daughter.
But Esaki Suguha's mother is different. Under a long-term high-pressure environment, her mentality has become different from that of a normal mother.
What's more, Esaki Suguha was not born of her own free will. It was the Esaki family who restricted her freedom, and then forced her to give birth to Suguha.
It would be too much to expect her to have any feelings for Suguha.
"Sure enough, I'd better stop meddling with Suguha's mother's affairs."
Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but rub his eyebrows as he walked forward.
After finishing the exam proposed by the old man, he took Suguha away and tried his best not to have anything to do with this kind of mother again.
Thinking of this, Haruno Sawayama took a deep breath and drove away the chaotic thoughts in his mind.
We just arrived at our destination.
Looking at a small house built not far away, Sawayama Haruno stopped.
After looking at his phone, he found that the message he had sent to Riho Morikawa in the car had not received a reply.
“Aren’t you on vacation?”
Sawayama Haruno became a little confused.
I made an agreement yesterday that I would come to visit if I have time today. When I was on the highway just now, I sent a message in advance, but Riho Morikawa hasn’t seen it yet?
Could it be that you haven’t gotten up yet since you slept?
It shouldn't happen, it's almost two or three o'clock in the afternoon.
Sawayama Haruno touched his chin, hesitated for a moment and then stepped forward to press the doorbell.
Fortunately, except for the one-family houses in the fringe areas of Tokyo, most houses have their own doorbell function. After pressing the doorbell, Haruno Sawayama stood outside and waited patiently for a while.
And soon, the door was opened from the inside.
Mine Shiori, who tied her hair into a cute pigtail to the left, appeared behind the door in a daze.
“Haruno?”
After seeing the person standing in front of him clearly, Mine Shiori was suddenly pleasantly surprised.
"Good afternoon."
Sawayama Haruno also quickly smiled.
"Isn't Miss Morikawa inside?"
"Yes, but she hasn't gotten up yet."
Shiori Mine gave an unexpected answer , and then hurriedly put Haruno Sawayama in.
The petite girl’s appearance today is a bit too cute. She looks like a junior high school student. Today she puts on cartoon-style clothes, coupled with the cute little pigtails tied to the left, which makes people look very happy. I can't help but wonder how old she actually is.
“Miss Morikawa asked me to change into this dress”
Noticing Sawayama Haruno's curious eyes, Feng Shizhi blushed and said weakly: "This is the request last night. Is it okay if you don't wear it?"
"Request?" Sawayama Haruno was a little confused. got up.
By the way, does Ms. Morikawa still have such cartoon-style clothes?
No, according to Miss Morikawa’s bust, she simply can’t fit into such a small piece of clothing.
"This dress seems to belong to Miss Morikawa's sister."
When it comes to this matter, Mine Shiori feels a little inexplicably aggrieved.
“Because Ms. Morikawa only has one bed at home, last night I said I could sleep on the sofa, but Ms. Morikawa always disagreed. In the end, she gave me the option to wear this dress and stop. He kept asking me to sleep on the bed as a condition."
"So that's it."
Sawayama Haruno suddenly understood.
Well done, Miss Morikawa.
After all, Shiori’s outfit is indeed very cute, at least he thinks it’s a plus.
But then again, Riho Morikawa is obviously an editor within the Otowa Group. Logically speaking, working in such a large group, the salary should be very high, but in the end, she can only afford to rent a small house. House?
Living in Tokyo is not easy.
"Haruno, please sit down, I will go to the room to wake up Miss Morikawa."
After helping him to the living room, Mine Shiori ran into the bedroom in a panic.
Sawayama Haruno didn't care. After all, the most important purpose of coming here this time was to see Mine Shiori and introduce him to the other party about changing houses.
After waiting patiently for three or four minutes, he saw Feng Shiori exiting the room helplessly.
"Sorry."
Noticing Sawayama Haruno's gaze, Mine Shiori pursed her lips and said with a helpless smile: "Miss Morikawa, she seems to have slept a little to death."
"Really?"
Sawayama Haruno blinked and said kindly: "Then it's better not to wake the other party up. It just so happens that I came here specifically to find you."
" Ah, okay.”
Hearing this, Mine Shiori obediently ran to the sofa in front of Haruno Sawayama and sat down.
This look is quite like a primary school student who got into trouble and is being taught a lesson by the teacher.
“I told you yesterday about changing my place to live, right? How is Shiori thinking about it?”
“I discussed it with the landlord this morning and he is willing to let me cancel the lease. , but you can only refund the whole amount, and the remaining half month's rent cannot be refunded."
"That's normal, right?"
Sawayama Haruno thought for a while and suggested: " Shiori, why don’t you move to a place near Shinjuku?”
“Eh”
Feng Shiori suddenly became a little confused.
Of course Haruno Sawayama knew what she was thinking, so he explained: "Don't worry, what I came to tell you this time is actually the place where I lived when I was in high school."
"Where did Haruno live before?"
"Well, I also lived in Shinjuku when I was in high school, but it was not in the current house, but the kind of student apartment that the person in charge of the apartment specially found. Those students who need housing come to rent it out.”
Sawayama Haruno paused and added: “Because the small apartment was originally built for the landlord and his family to live in, but they later moved on. I moved to another place and after renovation, I rented it out to students. The price is also very cheap."
"Really?"
I heard "cheap price" four times. Feng Shizhi was immediately moved by the words.
These four words are much more attractive than convenient transportation or being close to a supermarket. After all, she is not particularly wealthy now.
The money you can earn as an intern in Yinyu Group is very limited, not even as much as you can earn from part-time jobs.
“I lived there for a long time before. Although it is in Shinjuku, it is far away from the downtown area and the hotel street, so Shiori doesn’t have to worry.”
Seeing that the other party was a little moved, Haruno Sawayama continued to persuade: "I also have a relationship with the person in charge. I contacted him in the morning and asked if there was any house available for rent. He promised me that if I wanted to rent it to an acquaintance, I’m willing to give you some discounts.”
“And I live very close to there. If there is any need for work in the future, it will be more convenient for the two of us to meet.”
He really hopes that Feng Shizhi can live here. After all, he has lived there for more than three years. Naturally, he knows the situation there. No matter what, it is much better than where Feng Shizhi lives now.
As long as you don’t go to the corners and alleys in Shinjuku City, or deliberately go to places like the hotel street, it is actually very difficult to encounter anything dangerous.
The rent may be a bit expensive, but since the person in charge has promised some discounts, it shouldn't be a problem.
Listening to Sawayama Haruno’s persuasion, Mine Shiori struggled in his heart.
She whispered: "It won't cause any trouble to Haruno, right?"
"Don't worry, for things like favors, it's better to say that he owed me favors before. "Sawayama Haruno smiled nonchalantly and said seriously, "I think Shiori should think about it, or I will send you the address later, and you can go and take a look."
" I understand."
Feng Shizhi pursed her lips and agreed softly.
Moving to Shinjuku?
Moving is a very common thing for her, but moving to Shinjuku means that she will have more opportunities to meet Haruno in the future, right?
Maybe, we can take the tram to school together
