Chapter 147 Fast forward to meeting the parents.jpg
Shangdao Cafe is a coffee shop located in the bustling area of ​​Bunkyo District, Tokyo, Japan.

Compared with other business cafes, this cafe, which is mainly used for private parties, family dinners, couple dates, etc., focuses on handcrafting and barista craftsmanship.

The decoration of the store is simple and comfortable, using materials such as logs, concrete and metal to create an excellent modern and industrial style. The comfortable seats and spacious dining space echo the warm lighting in the store, rendering a relaxing and soothing atmosphere To the extreme.

In a sense, this cafe is indeed suitable for 'family gatherings'.

Kitagawa Che, who was sitting in the booth, withdrew his gaze from looking around, and turned his attention to the face of Morishima Yuki who had just returned from the bathroom.

This one-on-one meeting was suddenly proposed by Yuki Morishima two days ago. Kitagawa Cheru was initially hesitant about the request made by his partner's mother, but after seeing the look on the face of this internationally renowned musician After the interview, he finally agreed.

Morishima Yuki collected her mood, raised her eyebrows, and met Kitagawa Che's gaze, "Thank you Kitagawa-san for agreeing to my presumptuous request."

"..."

It never occurred to Bei Chuan Che that on this hot August afternoon, the first sentence he and his partner's mother met in private would be a sincere thank you.

"This is an exaggerated statement, Aunt Morishima." Kitagawa Che straightened his expression. After coming back to his senses, he quickly continued his conversation naturally, "Xuesha helped me a lot, this little thing is what I should do." of."

After struggling in Vanity Fair for so long, Morishima Yuki could tell that Kitagawa Che's tone was sincere and did not mean to say nice things.

Her expression became more relaxed.

As far as the first impression is concerned, Kitagawa Che left a good impression on her senses.

Withdrawing his gaze, Morishima Yuki lowered his eyebrows and stirred the small spoon in the coffee cup, "There is no right or wrong, one code is the same."

After saying that, she chuckled, with a hint of teasing in her tone, "Besides, Xue Sha's statement doesn't match up with yours."

"What did Xuesha say?"

Kitagawa Che asked tentatively.

"Her?" Morishima Yuki's face showed a hint of disgust, "She said that you gave her a lot of help, allowing her to change some bad habits, and at the same time, she learned new skills from you. ——For example, the cooking skills she is passionate about now.”

"No matter how good the teacher is, if the students don't listen, nothing can be done." Che said with a smile, "Xue Sha must be able to listen and have good understanding."

"It's not good to be too modest." Morishima Yuki raised her head, looked at Kitagawa Che in front of her, and got down to business, "I asked Kitagawa-san to come out this time because I have an unkind invitation."

"Can you be more specific?"

Kitagawa Che held the coffee cup with a frosted outer surface in both hands and started stroking it gently.

After several "confrontations" with Rina Toshima, he has gradually regained his former "wariness" towards acquaintances.

"It's about the issue between me and Yukisa." Morishima Yuki was not surprised by Kitagawa Che's cautious answer. In her opinion, if Kitagawa Che agreed immediately, it would be completely unreliable. , but it’s a pity that she didn’t understand this back then, “I… wasn’t very good at communicating with her.”

This is the opening statement she came up with after thinking about it in the mirror for a long time in front of the sink in the bathroom.

Instead of going through so many twists and turns, it would be better to be more straightforward.

After all, to put it bluntly, her position is now weaker than that of Bei Chuan Che in front of her, and she is the one who asked him for help.

Hearing this, Kitagawa Che raised his eyebrows, met Morishima Yuki's gaze, nodded, and motioned for her to continue.

"Since Xuesha left me, it was like there was a layer of separation between me and her. I wanted to care about her, get close to her, and understand her joys and sorrows, but I didn't know where to start. "

Having said that, a bitterness flashed across Morishima Yukie's eyes.

In the past, when talking about this with her close friends, she always said that she worked so hard and often came home late because of this family. This is indeed an objective fact, but her own practice is also problematic, which is also an objective fact. fact.

It's just that at that time, she always ignored this point subconsciously, and just thought that Xuesha could understand and tolerate her as a mother.

But problems can never be solved by avoiding the most important issues and choosing the lightest ones.

As a result, more and more misunderstandings and deeper rifts.

This year she finally came to her senses, but the distance between her and her daughter had already grown.

Beichuan Che didn't rush to talk, but just listened silently.

When Morishima Yukisa was in class, she would occasionally mention some anecdotes about music with a smile, but when he asked where she knew these anecdotes, this girl with a good memory would always lower her eyebrows and look away. , apologized in a low voice and said that he had forgotten.

He could see that it wasn't a question of whether to forget at all, but that she didn't want to mention the question about the 'that person' in this memory.

However, if she really hated her to the core, she would not mention these things at all, let alone the lingering nostalgia in her eyes when she accidentally mentioned these things.

"I know, I'm not a competent mother."

Morishima Yuki took a deep breath, gritted her molars, and in the end, she still said this sentence.

Perhaps due to her self-esteem or part of her pride as a mother, she never mentioned this sentence in front of anyone.

Kitagawa Cheru comforted Morishima Yuki, "No one is born a competent parent."

Take the recent example, even the Beiyuan couple, a standard model couple, did not know how to educate their children at the beginning.

Later, after Aunt Beiyuan began to take charge of family affairs wholeheartedly, she gradually learned how to communicate with Linyin, and then taught Uncle Beiyuan this communication method.

Of course, these were all told to him by Beiyuan Linyin who did not want to be named.

"No, I did too poorly. I didn't even get a passing grade."

Morishima Yuki shook her head.

The more her career improved, the lower the test scores she handed in. On the contrary, during the most difficult period, she barely managed to get [-] points.

"So..." Morishima Yuki raised her head, her face, which was so similar to Morishima Xuesha, was full of pleading, "I want to ask you to help Auntie, Xuesha... now I can only listen to what you say if."

From the past two days and the current observation, Morishima Yuki could see that although Kitagawa Che was her daughter's same age, her speech and behavior were quite mature and reliable, which allowed her to speak out when her emotions were over. The next sentence comes.

In her original draft, she never thought of saying the following sentence.

"This matter." Bei Chuan Che was silent for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and met Yuki Morishima's gaze, "Aunt Morishima, I can only say my best, is that okay?"

"of course."

Morishima Yuki let out a long sigh of relief.

As long as Kitagawa Che is willing to help, that is the best thing.

Of course, even if Kitagawa Che refuses, she will try her best to communicate with her daughter. She wants to make up for her past mistakes.
