Chapter 16 Tell her face to face

After returning to his room on the second floor, Kitagawa Che answered the phone one second before it hung up.

"Uncle Beiyuan, good evening."

"Ache, good evening."

In a villa area in Minato District, Tokyo, a middle-aged man wearing a kimono and leaning on the armrest of the villa balcony answered the phone.

In fact, in Beichuan Che's memory, most of the calls between the original owner of this body and the Beiyuan family were in the form of question and answer, and there would be no reversal during the period. From the moment the phone was picked up, such a Conversation mode will continue until the end.

But this time, he decided to be more proactive.

Not to mention completely changing Beiyuan Zhengyu's impression of him, but at least giving him the feeling that he is getting better and has come out of that nightmare past.

This will be very helpful for what he will say next about the divorce.

Beichuan Che thought about the words for a moment, then started talking in a chatty tone, "Uncle Beiyuan, have you eaten?"

On the other end of the phone, Beiyuan Zhengyu was stunned for a moment, turned his eyebrows and looked at his wife. He could see the concern in his wife's eyebrows. He calmly adjusted the phone from the receiver to the hands-free mode , "I have eaten, your aunt made sukiyaki today, and the craftsmanship is still as good as ever."

"It sounds like uncle is in for a treat."

Kitagawa Che stood up from the chair in the room, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and opened half of the curtains.

He looked out the window.

After nightfall, the Bunkyo District was plunged into darkness.In the sky, the bright moon hangs high.

Across the street, the warm and cold light from the windows is gradually lengthened by the night. The sense of distance seems to be blurred at this moment, and the buildings seem to be within reach. Under the street lights in the residential area, vehicles occasionally pass by. The tires ran over the ground, making a small but clear rustling sound.

"Yes, even if the three of us ate such a large portion of sukiyaki, there is still a lot left over, and your aunt is still habitually making more for you and Miao." On the other end of the phone, Beiyuan Zhengyu's voice was still calm, Peacefully, he considered his words and continued chatting, "Ache, your voice sounds very energetic, and your condition seems to be much better."

Beiyuan Zhengyu remembered very clearly that whether it was last month or the month before, Beichuan Che's voice on the phone seemed weak.

He knew what the old man's son was worrying about, and tried to solve the problem, but every time the results were bad.

He has always boasted that his communication skills are not bad, but he frequently hit a wall on this matter, and even aroused Beichuan Che's stress response. As time passed, he selectively stopped mentioning this topic and talked about other people in a protective way. of.

Perhaps it was what his wife said, Beichuan Che still needs time to get out of that memory.

But today, Beiyuan Zhengyu felt that his condition seemed to be much better, and this might be a good opportunity.

"Yes." Beichuan Che paused, "This period of time is going well, and many things are developing in a good direction."

"That's the good thing."

Beiyuan Zhengyu turned his head and looked at his wife. They both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

'What do you want to say? '

'Say it. '

After exchanging glances with his wife, Beiyuan Zhengyu coughed lightly and mentioned another topic, which he had not mentioned for a long time, "Ache, there is something I think I should tell you. "

"Please speak."

"Linyin is not what you think she is. She treats you... a little duplicity. Can you understand what I mean, Ache?"

As far as Beiyuan Zhengyu is concerned, in terms of career, he doesn't have much pursuit. He is very indifferent. He can take what he has and work steadily. But when it comes to his daughter's marriage contract, he attaches great importance to it.

He admires Beichuan Che very much and has always regarded Beichuan Che as his half son.

He didn't want this engagement to end here.

"can."

call.

After hearing Kitagawa Che's answer, Beiyuan Zhengyu breathed a sigh of relief and gave his wife a 'relax' expression.

They have already completed the relevant transfer procedures for Linyin.

It's just that Beiyuan and his wife didn't notice what was happening behind them.

The sliding door to the balcony was quietly pushed open.

A slightly thin figure was hidden in the shadow where the moonlight could not reach.

"I just wanted to ask you this question, Uncle." Beichuan Che took a deep breath. He could hear Beiyuan Zhengyu's appreciation for him, but he had already decided on some things. "There is something between Linyin and me." Contradictory, as far as the current situation is concerned, this contradiction has not yet found a proper solution.

"Just like what you said to me before, uncle, people have to look forward.

"Emotional matters cannot be forced. I think this marriage contract is a bondage for Linyin. She should have a wider sky and more choices, not be forced by this marriage contract to do what she doesn't want to do. things.

"I think this matter should be brought to an end."

After the voice fell, Beiyuan Zhengyu on the other end of the phone fell silent.

From the moment Bei Chuan Che opened his mouth, he had thought of such a possibility, but he never thought that the worst result he expected would happen.

"Ache, are you serious?"

After being silent for half a minute, Beiyuan Zhengyu asked such a sentence.

"Yes."

Kitagawa Che gave an affirmative answer.

"From the perspective of an elder, I think you need to think again. Sometimes what you see may be different from what you actually want to decide."

Beiyuan Zhengyu turned around and looked at the balcony glass door that was pushed open at some point in the moonlight.

The night wind blew, and the curtains were slightly lifted.

In the shadows, no one is there.

He turned his head and looked at his wife.

Obviously, the conversation here was overheard by his own daughter.

"what do you mean?"

Bei Chuan Che heard Beiyuan Zhengyu's implication, and it was actually difficult for him to answer the other party's words.

"My uncle personally feels that the end of every relationship should be decided by the parties involved, just like what you just told me." Beiyuan Zhengyu took a deep breath and sighed heavily as if accepting his fate, "You have to You have to talk to Linyin in person. In the final analysis, this is a matter between you young people. We can't get involved."

"That……"

"Don't be in a hurry to answer me, or contact Linyin. If you stay calm, you still have a lot of time. Things are not as urgent as you imagined." Beiyuan Zhengyu interrupted Beichuan Che, and he changed the subject. , asked, "Or, are you in love?"

"No."

"That's it." Beiyuan Zhengyu put a comma on this matter rather forcefully, "Distance does not produce beauty, but more misunderstanding. After the distance is shortened, the answers to many things will follow. clear up.

"The conflict between you and Linyin is really not as big as you think.

"Perhaps, your thoughts will be different tomorrow?"

A look of helplessness flashed across Beichuan Che's eyes, "This..."

"Anyway, take it easy. You've really made your decision. You've already talked with Rinyin, so tell me again."

Beiyuan Zhengyu didn't give Beichuan Che a chance to answer, and hung up the phone after saying 'goodbye'.

This……

Beichuan Che looked at the hung up phone and felt more helpless.

This matter did not seem to go as smoothly as he had imagined.

"Forget it, let's wait until school starts. After the school starts is settled, go and explain this matter clearly to Beiyuan Rinyin."

Beichuan Che shook his head.

The school that Beiyuan Linyin attended was a well-known private college. As far as Beiyuan Zhengyu said, "the distance is shortened", as far as he is concerned, he does not have this condition, and he has no idea to do that.

call.

Pulling the curtains, Beichuan Che let out a breath of foul air and stretched himself.
