Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home - Chapter 663

Chapter 663 Long-distance love

Early Monday morning, on the way from Toyosaki Station to school.

Yusuke Kato told Megumi who met by chance what happened yesterday, and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

“…Huh, Nasu Plateau?”

“Well, Ying Lili’s family has a villa there. We mentioned this topic when we were in Baihua Lake.”

“Hmm~ Yusuke, you did mention it…but that’s not what I wanted to ask.”

Hui turned her head slightly, “You mean, when did Ying Lili say she was going to retreat there?”

“Yesterday afternoon. She set off this morning. According to the time calculation, she should be almost arriving at her destination now.”

“…So, how long will Yinglili be in seclusion?”

“Probably until next weekend.”

“next weekend…”

The two continued to move forward.

After counting the days for a while, Hui asked in surprise: “Isn’t it time for spring break?”

Kato Yusuke nodded, hummed: “That’s what she said.”

“But, what about the courses at the school? And I remember that Ying Lili took several leave of absence for participating in activities before. Is her attendance really okay?”

“About these questions…”

Yusuke Kato showed a somewhat indescribable expression, moved his lips and said, “Actually, her family seems to have donated to our school a long time ago just in case.”

“…Uh~~~That, although I don’t know how to evaluate it, it is worthy of the Eiris family.”

Hui spoke indescribably, skipping this somewhat realistic topic, and asked instead:

“Speaking of which, why did Ying Lili do that?

Even if you don’t want to draw in the studio, it’s the same at home, right?

Her parents are so open-minded, they shouldn’t stop her from working from home. ”

“Although this is just my personal opinion—”

Kato Yusuke looked at the students walking around, nodded to those who greeted him, and gave an answer at the same time.

“However, in Ying Lili’s eyes, the studio and home probably belong to the comfort zone. She made that choice because she wanted to make a breakthrough.”

“Is that so…”

Hui said softly, glanced at him sideways, with a hint of concern on his face, “Then… why didn’t you tell me about it yesterday, Yusuke?”

“Huh…?” Kato Yusuke was taken aback, “Sorry, I thought she told you, didn’t she?”

“No~ Yinglili didn’t say anything to me, at least I don’t have that kind of memory. But… she probably doesn’t want others to see her bad side, so it’s okay.”

When a close friend made an important decision without telling herself, Hui actually cared a little bit, but quickly adjusted herself and showed a good-natured side.

She thought about it for a while, and then asked: “Compared to this, is it really okay for Ying Lili to live alone in a remote mountain away from people?”

Kato Yusuke couldn’t help smiling.

“Tochigi Prefecture is not so remote, and the villa of the Eiris family seems to be quite high-end, and there are convenience stores nearby, so I don’t think there is anything to worry about.”

“However, it’s still quite far away, right? If something happens, you can’t rush there right away?”

“She promised me that she would keep in touch every day, and if anything felt wrong, I would notify her family in time.”

“Is…is that so?” Hui said again: “To be honest, I still can’t imagine what Yinglili would be like living alone.”

“If you are worried, you can try to send her LINE, she should read it when she is not busy.”

“Hmm~~ That’s not okay, right? After all, Yinglili has made such a big determination to retreat, and it’s too impolite to disturb others in this situation. I won’t do that kind of thing.”

Kato Yusuke nodded slightly, agreeing.

In fact, not only Hui, but also him.

In order not to be disturbed by the outside world, Ying Lili made a one-way agreement with him before leaving. In non-essential situations, he can only wait for the other party to contact, and cannot actively disturb.

Although such a request was somewhat unreasonable, he still accepted it because it was a serious decision made by the other party.

Kato Yusuke was thinking about this while entering the campus with the crowd.

The morning class will pass quickly.

During the lunch break, he came to the rooftop and told Shi Yu about this.

Compared to Hui, Shiyu’s performance is much more open-minded.

While eating the bread he bought, the girl sarcastically expressed her opinion.

“What a shame, Yo-chan, how dare you let a procrastinating author out? As a representative of the club, you made a fatal mistake, huh?”

“Is it that serious…?”

“Of course, Sawamura will never come back, and she will definitely run away.”

“Ying Lili won’t do that kind of thing. She said that no matter what the result is, she will come back before the closing ceremony.”

“You are too naive, Yu-chan. You must know that the most unbelievable race in the world is the creator?”

“…You seem to have attacked yourself, Xiaoshi.”

“Otherwise, did Sawamura contact you?”

Yusuke Kato replied truthfully: “Not yet, but she just arrived there today, and there are probably a lot of things that need to be cleaned up. I will probably call later.”

“Listen, Yu-chan, I heard such a passage from an editor. She said that the authors who delay the manuscript have a set routine, so you’d better pay attention.”

Shi Yu held up an index finger seriously.

“First is Level 1, and the tone of the other party will gradually become rude.”

“She usually is the same.”

“Then Level 2, the other party began to blame themselves.”

“She had a little before.”

“The next step is Level 3, and the response speed of the other party is getting slower and slower.”

“It’s not a bad thing to spend more time thinking.”

“Further down is Level 4, the other party will ignore the eyes of the surroundings and say self-pitying words like ‘I want to die’ or ‘I can’t do it’.”

“Oh, so to speak, this kind of thing often happened when I helped her publish the book before, and I kind of miss it.”

“…The last is Level 5, the other party will completely lose contact from a certain day.”

“In that case, Aunt Sayuri would probably pretend to accidentally reveal her location to me.”

“…By the way, it is said that there is a Level 6 on it.

Even if the missing female creator can be successfully found by then, she will find that the other party has already changed her pseudonym and man, and has changed to other jobs. This is what Ms. Machida concluded. ”

“How is this possible? Yinglili doesn’t even have the legal age for marriage—hiss!”

Before Kato Yusuke finished speaking, the other party grabbed the back of his hand with his nails, making him gasp.

“… What are you doing?”

Shiyu said in a deep voice without a trace of emotion:

“I kindly remind you, what do you mean by choking me with these words? Are you trying to make me angry?”

“Nothing like that.”

Yusuke Kato withdrew his right hand, smiled wryly and shook his head in denial.

“I didn’t mean to annoy you on purpose, I just don’t think Yinglili would do those things.”

“It’s the first time she’s been the lead writer of a commercial work, so you trust her that much?”

“Well… I do trust her, just like I trust you, Xiaoshi.”

“I am also a commercial author who has been recognized by the market. Don’t you think it is biased to compare me with Sawamura?”

“Don’t think too much, I will trust you and Ying Lili because I have seen all sides of you, and the judgment I made on this basis has nothing to do with other things.”

“All sides…could it be…?”

“I’m referring to creative ability and morality. Don’t use yellow accents here?”

Kato Yusuke flicked Shiwa’s forehead as he spoke, and successfully got an annoyed look.

He smiled disapprovingly, and continued: “Besides, although Ying Lili is a bit willful in character, she is not yet capable of the kind of behavior of leaving without saying goodbye.”

“Really? You know that the author can’t write anything, but it happens in a blink of an eye? And it’s completely uncertain when he will recover?”

“Then, I will wait patiently until the last moment.”

“…”

Shi Yu was a little silent at first, then stretched out his hand to grab his ear, and pulled it towards her.

“Little poem??”

“Seriously… Yu-chan, don’t you spoil her too much? This makes me a little angry.”

“It hurts! If the situation were changed, I would do the same to Xiaoshi??”

Ignoring his half-truth and half-fake wailing, Shiyu snorted.

“Listen well, Yu-chan. No matter what happens between you and Sawamura in the future, I am also your main palace, you must put me in front of her. Do you understand?”

“ah?”

Kato Yusuke was slightly dumbfounded, and immediately frowned and asked:

“No…Why do you say this as if I would do something to Ying Lili? We are not that kind of relationship.”

Shi Yu squinted at him with contempt, and said lightly:

“I’m just reminding you. It’s best if you don’t have one. If you do, then remember my words, otherwise don’t blame me for not warning you.”

Before Yusuke Kato could speak, the girl went on to say:

“Anyway, if Sawamura-san uses the tricks just now when communicating with you, you’d better pay attention.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Yu got up and left gracefully.

The boy was lost in thought on the bench.

…

Back home at night, Kato Yusuke received another letter from Mami.

Needless to say, the sender was Sayu in Hokkaido.

The letter mainly talked about two things.

On the one hand, it is to explain that I have given the promised money to the association, and on the other hand, it is to express my love for “The Big Tuanzi Family”.

Because of the delay, when the other party sent the last letter, the video hadn’t been uploaded on the Internet, so there was such a wonderful time difference.

Yusuke Kato put down the letter, and received a video invitation from Eriri the next second.

He pressed answer decisively, and a luxurious living room appeared on the screen. Ying Lili, who was wearing a cute home clothes, was sitting on the sofa, looking at her phone.

“Yusuke?”

“Well, good evening, I was wondering if you won’t be in touch today.”

Kato Yusuke said, his expression relaxed slightly.

Ying Lili’s expression became a little apologetic when she saw his reaction.

“Sorry, I thought about reporting to you as soon as possible, but there are a lot of things to prepare here, and this time has come before I know it.”

“No need to apologize, how are you doing now?”

“Well, it’s good. I’ve bought all the necessary supplies, and the driver sent him back. Now I’m the only one left.”

Kato Yusuke asked: “I checked the weather, and the temperature there seems to be much lower than in Tokyo. Do you feel cold?”

“Well, although it’s true that it’s outside, I turned on the heaters in all the rooms, so it’s not cold at all.”

“What about the food?”

“Well, that’s okay too.”

Ying Lili affirmed: “I bought a whole box of peyoung, it should be enough for a while.”

“peyoung…?” Kato Yusuke said the word, and suddenly realized, “Wait, isn’t that instant fried noodles? Are you planning to eat that all the time??”

“Because it’s very convenient.”

“It’s not a matter of convenience, but of paying attention to your health… Does Aunt Sayuri know that you do this?”

“Don’t worry. I also bought other things like toast, instant food packs, and quick-heating rice. It’s no problem at all.”

“Don’t eat those all the time. You should be able to order takeaway over there, right? Or you can go to a convenience store and buy some bento.”

“It’s long-winded, wouldn’t it lose the meaning of retreat? But it’s okay… I will do what you say occasionally.”

“When living alone, remember to be safe. Doors and windows must be locked, including the bedroom door. Don’t open the door for strangers.”

“…”

“Yingli pear?”

“ah…”

“Did you hear what I just said?”

Slowly, Ying Lili scowled, showing an impatient expression.

“I know, I know. My mother told me about these things a long time ago, do you think I am a primary school student?”

She spoke bluntly, but her strength was soft. It didn’t look like he was angry at all, but a little embarrassed and embarrassed.

Kato Yusuke didn’t think so much, and told him seriously.

“Anyway, it doesn’t hurt to be careful. If you have any questions, please contact me. I sleep late recently, so you can call me anyway.”

“…Yusuke.”

Ying Lili tilted her head and looked at him, and couldn’t help asking: “You’ve been talking about these boring things, and you don’t ask me about my work?”

“Huh? Today is only the first day, so there is nothing to ask?”

“Although that’s the case, I feel that you are still too leisurely. Are you a fool to let the original artist out when the work is behind schedule?”

“Hey, you are the one who made this request, right?” Kato Yusuke said angrily.

For some reason, Ying Lili showed a satisfied expression, smiled and nodded, “Well, I’m right, thank you.”

“Yingli pear…?”

“I will contact you on time every day, so you have to wait.”

“Wait? Do you mean waiting for your call at this time?”

Kato Yusuke felt a little puzzled, and then saw Ying Lili shaking her head slightly.

“It’s not just that…”

The girl said with a voice like a silver bell: “I mean, I will definitely return to the city where you are, so wait for me?”

The moment the voice fell, Kato Yusuke’s eyes appeared in a trance for a moment, inexplicably thinking of the scene of the day when he said goodbye to Sayu.

“…”

His eyes dimmed slightly, and then he put on a faint smile, “Understood, I’ll wait.”

Ying Lili’s eyes flickered slightly, and her clear and bright pupils reflected his face directly, she lowered her gaze shyly, and giggled.

“Huh? Did I say something funny…?”

“No, nothing, but…”

“but?”

“I always feel that just listening to our conversation, it feels like we are in a long-distance relationship.”

“ah?”

Kato Yusuke was stunned.

“Hoo hoo ~ ah ha ha ha ha!”

Ying Lili covered her mouth with her slightly open hand and snickered. Her golden hair swayed with each of her chuckles, like a soft mistletoe, with a fairy tale fairy perched on it, so cute that it was impeccable.

“Haha, what’s going on, your expression.”

She said mischievously: “It’s like a **** who was caught by his girlfriend at the scene of stealing rape. Mingmingxia Zhiqiu Shiyu is not here, are you too timid? Ahahaha.”

“Hey, aren’t you laughing too exaggeratedly?”

Yusuke Kato lowered his face, and deliberately said in accordance with the atmosphere: “Besides, what do you want people to answer when you suddenly say something like that?”

“How to answer~?”

Eriri blinked slyly, blushed slightly, looked away, and muttered, “Just… just say it in a normal way, anyway, Kasumigaoka Shiwa and I also…”

“Huh? What happened to you and Xiaoshi?”

“Nothing~ Nothing at all.”

“Isn’t this too inexplicable?”

“Ah~ I always feel a little tired. I’m going to go to rest, let’s talk here for today, good night~”

Eriri hung up the video as she spoke, leaving Kato Yusuke staring at the blacked-out screen in a daze.
