Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 48
In the afternoon, Soya continued to study under the guidance of Yoshikawa Hongko, catching up with the progress.

The spring rain outside the house was pattering, although it was not heavy, it did not stop until the evening.

When Yoshikawa was about to go home, Soya took a look at the drowsy sky, took an umbrella and went out with her.

"Does Soya want to send me off?"

"It's not far anyway."

"Thank you~"

It's only a ten-minute walk from Yoshikawa's house to Kirino's old house, but Hongzi usually takes a detour to find Akane Kirino before coming back, so the distance is naturally much longer.

Walking in the alley that he seldom passes by, Soya looked at both sides, preparing for the solo return journey later.

After a while, they walked out of the alley, and the cherry tree at the corner of the intersection ahead caught their eyes.

The huge cherry tree stretched out its branches and leaves from the yard, and the concrete road below was covered with petals, making the ground pink and tender.

The fresh raindrops flowed and gathered along the branches, and they couldn't hold it any longer, so they let go of their hands and jumped to the bottom of the two adjacent umbrellas.

pat!

"Is this Yae Sakura?"

"do not know."

"I heard that the Guanshan cherry among the Yae cherry blossoms has the best taste when made into salted cherry blossoms."

"... Soya."

Yoshikawa raised the edge of his umbrella slightly, and glanced at Soya next to him.

He smiled, "Let's go."

"Hmm... ah!"

She trembled all over, and took two steps back, if Zongya hadn't held her up in time, she would have fallen down on the slippery ground.

And on the edge of the wooden fence under the cherry tree, a toad has not stopped bouncing around, indifferent to the accident he almost caused.

"Is it the countryside after all?"

Yoshikawa calmed down quickly, sighed, and thanked Soya after standing firm.

"By the way, does Soya know what the other girls with me called you when we first met?"

Soya shook his head.

"'Handsome guy from the country.'"

"yes."

He can also understand the reason: when we first met, he was still wearing the rustic clothes left by Uncle Kirino Akane.

"However, isn't this the countryside?"

Yoshikawa laughed, "So he's a handsome guy from the countryside."

"I've been to the countryside here too."

"Eh, when?"

"Just the other day. Running errands for the shrine."

"Ah... that's right."

Seeing her attitude of respecting, understanding, and not wanting to know more, Sogu didn't say much.

After a few days of peace and quiet, his motivation to introduce her to the invisible side of the world has also diminished a lot;

What's more, when facing ordinary people, explaining this kind of thing depends on the timing, otherwise it will be just empty talk.

pat, pat.

The toad in the corner was still jumping, and the two people holding the umbrella had already walked away.

"The house over there is my home."

After walking with Soya for a while, Yoshikawa suddenly stopped and pointed to a house with a red roof not far away.

"It's the first time Soya has come here."

"Ah."

"At this time, mom, dad and elder sister probably haven't come back yet, does Soya want to go in and sit for a while?"

Soya shook his head, "Next time."

"My sister brought back some dim sum from Mikazukido in Tokyo. It is said that it is difficult to buy, and it is called 'Mikazuki Yaki'."

Yoshikawa smiled slightly, "Have you ever eaten Soya?"

"..."

So is abduction.

"excuse me."

A figure rushing out from the room made Soya, who had just entered the door, subconsciously stop his movements.

"I am back."

Yoshikawa bent down and touched the Shiba Inu's head, then looked back at Soya, "This is my dog, Alps. Come in."

As he changed his shoes, he stared at the dog, "'Alpine'?"

"That's my dad's name."

"yes."

The lively Shiba Inu followed the two to the living room, and after Yoshikawa went to make tea, he squatted at Soya's feet.

"..."

He looked down at it, and the Shiba tilted its head and wagged its tail.

"Awaited."

Yoshikawa returned to the living room with hot tea, and brought over a paper bag with the words "Sanriyuetang" printed on it.

"Try it."

The Japanese snacks in the gift box have not been opened yet, and the patterns on the surface do not seem to be printed. The texture and style look very high-end.

"It should be expensive."

"I don't know too well, it's a gift from my sister's client."

"Is Yoshikawa's sister working in Tokyo?"

"That's right. My sister settled there after she got married. I went to Kyoto on a business trip two days ago, so I went home to have a look."

Zongya opened the gift box, there were not many snacks inside, but each piece looked very delicate.

"Try it."

The tea cup held by his mouth was more like a cover-up, Yoshikawa kept staring at him, his glasses fogged up.

"Then I'm welcome."

He picked up a piece of crescent moon and bit it down.

The wrapped skin is soft and glutinous, and the sweet filling melts in the mouth, as if it wants to soak into all the taste buds on the tip of the tongue; take another sip of tea to neutralize the greasy taste of the filling, and the fragrance of tea and snacks are left between the lips and teeth A hint of sweetness.

"How?" Yoshikawa asked.

Soya savored it carefully, and nodded after a while.

"Not bad. This is the best dim sum I've ever had."

"That's good."

"You can make a condition, Miss Abductor."

"What, it's so ugly..."

Yoshikawa chuckled.

"——think of a way to make Qian completely devoted to me."

"..."

Can't do it.

Soya lowered his eyes and said nothing, decided to eat another two yuan of Mikazuki Yaki and leave.But before he could make a move, Yoshikawa dragged the snack box to his side.

"..."

She also picked up a piece of crescent moon burnt, took a bite, and then showed a satisfied smile.

"The taste is really good."

She repacked the snack box and handed it over, "Let Ling try it too."

"thanks……"

Zongya took it, and he couldn't just leave directly like this. After thinking about it, he said:

"Yoshikawa is already Kirino's best friend, isn't he?"

Without saying a word, she took back the snack box in his hand.

Just when Soya thought she had suddenly changed her mind, Yoshikawa reopened the snack box and put it on the table between the two of them.

"Songya just said, this is the best dim sum you've ever eaten, right?"

"..."

"Then, among these crescent moon yaki, which one is Soya's favorite? Is it the one you ate just now?"

He was silent for a few seconds and smiled helplessly.

"it's the same."

"So, these snacks don't know when Soya will get tired of eating them, and which one will be saved for the end, right?"

Delicious dim sum in front of Soya wasn't an appropriate example to explain a period of friendship burnout, but he could see what Yoshikawa meant.

Although in his opinion, she was really worrying too much.

It's just that Yoshikawa, who has been treated like a star because of his outstanding appearance and academic ability since he was a child, has never been able to accept the friend he cares about the most, and instead treats himself indifferently.

"What does Yoshikawa want?"

"I want Akane to pay more attention to me." She sat up straight, "At least, to the extent she treats Soya and Suzu."

"...Is there anything special about how she treats me and Bell?"

"Yes, I have!"

Yoshikawa blurted out, then realized his gaffe, and paused for a while.

"Didn't Soya realize that Akane listens very carefully when you talk to Suzu?"

"yes."

"The key is--"

The girl suddenly moved closer, "There is a secret between Soya and Akane that belongs only to each other."

Is it a secret...

"If Yoshikawa thinks it's a secret, I can tell you everything." Soya looked at her seriously, "If you want to believe it."

Yoshikawa opened his mouth, then immediately shook his head.

"No. Soya doesn't think it's a secret, but Akane doesn't necessarily think so, I can't listen."

"..."

Soya took a deep breath.

Yoshikawa: "Do you find it troublesome?"

That's too much trouble.

"No."

He picked up a piece of Mikazuki and put it into his mouth, "In this case, why doesn't Yoshikawa create a secret that only you and Kirino know?"

Yoshikawa looked at him, "What secret?"

"Since it's a secret, of course you have to think for yourself."

Zongya didn't want to stay any longer, so he got up and wanted to go back.

Yoshikawa packed up the snacks and delivered them to the door.

"Give you."

"Thank you."

After taking two steps, he turned around again.

"What you said just now is just an immature suggestion, Yoshikawa, don't chase after the end."

Yoshikawa smiled.

"I see."
