Chapter 464 Talk the next day: The Beichuan family’s first hot pot meal in early winter

That happened in the early winter of Beichuan Che's junior year.

"Speaking of it, time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, it's graduation season again."

Wutong Yayuan, Beichuan Family, inside the restaurant.

Baiyuan Shizhi held her chin with her left hand and looked thoughtfully at the steaming, bubbling hot pot in front of her.

"Isn't this quite normal? If someone enrolls, someone will graduate."

Rina Toshima picked up the chopsticks, picked up a large piece of beef, and put it into the pot.

What they ate was not the traditional sukiyaki pot, but the 'clear soup pot' that had suddenly become popular in recent years and was passed on from the other side.

Of course, the matching ‘red soup pot’ was also passed on.

Just because of the taste and various reasons, in terms of home cooking, the 'red soup pot' is relatively less popular than the 'clear soup pot', but in restaurants outside, the 'red soup pot' is more popular than the 'clear soup pot' The clear soup pot' is much more popular.

"It sounds like Rina-san is used to it?"

Bai Yuan Shizhi raised his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked in the direction of the light.

On the ceiling, the light of the main lamp shines on the table. With the warm light, the steaming white smoke is also dyed with a light orange color.

Although it has been almost two years since she moved here from a one-family house, she still has not fully adapted. She even thought that the one-family house in Wenjing District would be more comfortable.

However, she also knew that after Ache stood in front of the stage and won a wave of major awards in the domestic literary world, she could no longer live there. If she lived there any longer, her daily life would be visible to the naked eye. To the point of teeth gnashing.

She also understood that this was the 'price to pay'.

But many things are like this. It takes time to understand, to be practical, or to fully accept.

"How could you not be used to it?"

Rina Toshima put down her chopsticks, and a hint of complexity flashed across her eyes.

As a teacher, no matter how reluctant you are to let go, you still have to be separated from the students when they graduate. Over time, all the reluctance you felt at the beginning has become a habit, although your heart will still be touched. After all, the human heart is made of flesh. , but generally speaking, I can accept it calmly.

"Let's put it this way, even if you are not used to seeing off two graduates, you will get used to it."

She sighed and added this sentence in a subtle tone.

Anyway, now she is more and more able to understand why the old teacher who taught her at the beginning said such things - every teacher has overcome all kinds of discomforts step by step.

But even the old teacher Feng Qingyundan who said this would have times when his emotions surged.

Last year, the old teacher led the last class of graduates in her teaching career. But at the very end, when the students took their graduation photos, the old lady still couldn't control her emotions and her eyes were red. Then, she could only turn her back, close her eyes, and calm down the turbulent emotions.

"After all, separation is always a normal part of life. It's like a train going home. Not everyone will get off at the same stop where you get off."

Kitagawa Che joked half-jokingly and half-seriously.

He had experienced this kind of parting scene many times before traveling through time, but how could I put it, he was still somewhat uncomfortable.

"So, is this why you like the 'imperfect ending' so much?"

Bai Yuan Shizhi changed the topic and looked at someone faintly.

The sweet romance novel of that year actually became a turning point in her career. The book sold quite well and won many awards. With this, she can be regarded as a leader of the new generation in this field.

As for a certain person, he is getting further and further away from BE (Bad End). It is rare for the protagonists in his works to have a lover and finally get married, and most of them end up with regrets.

Even their fans have joked that their writing styles are two extremes on the same line.

"You can't say that. There is a saying that is very good. If a gun appears in the story, then the gun will definitely fire. The overall tone of some stories has been determined from the beginning. If If you want to round it out abruptly, the integrity will inevitably be much worse." Kitagawa Che paused, "In other words, it will become an anticlimax."

Right now, his writing level is approaching lv.10, and he is at the stage of four-fifths of the experience value of lv.9.

After reaching this level, he began to understand more and more why many works like to write tragedies. To be precise, it's not that they like it, but that the tone of the story itself has been set. If it goes against the tone of the story at the beginning, it will be forced. , then you will definitely not get a good result.

For example, this is the case with Keigo Higashino's classic work "White Night Journey" before he time traveled.

"So, Che also likes...?"

Hearing this, Beiyuan Linyin, who had been listening, looked at her fiancé with a faint look.

She personally hates tragedy the most.

She was somewhat depressed after watching the movie "Cold Mountain".

She knew that the theme of that movie was love in war, so there was no doubt that the hero and heroine would not end well, but when the ending came, she still couldn't accept it.

"No, I'm just explaining the reasons why the endings of some books are beyond my control." Kitagawa Che shook his head and corrected his fiancée's statement, "When given the choice, I personally prefer good endings. of literary works.”

He has actually said this several times, but well, in the past few years, most of the works he has written have ended with regrets.

But his next book also intends to end on a happy note.

"So, the morning drama seems to be a lot ahead." Rina Toshima picked up a piece of cooked beef and put it into her dipping bowl. Then she picked up another piece without stopping and put it in. Morishima Yuksa, who was sitting next to her, said in her bowl, "Yukisa, try it, this is particularly delicious!"

"Well, thank you."

Morishima Yuksa thanked her, picked up the chopsticks, picked up the piece of beef, dipped it in Miao's special dipping sauce, and then put it into her mouth.

The next second, the aroma of beef and the taste of dipping sauce bloomed on her tongue.

Almost subconsciously, her eyes lit up.

"good to eat!"

She gave a thumbs up and gave it a high rating without hesitation.

"Look!" Rina Toshima raised her eyebrows quite proudly, and then changed the subject, "So, eat more!"

Yes, Morishima Yuksa has already explained to her that she just doesn’t like talking when eating, so she stays silent most of the time. It’s not that she didn’t think she could fit in, but she just felt that it wasn’t possible. It was great, so she would bring her into the conversation from time to time and let Xuesa participate.

"Ah."

Morishima Yukisha nodded silently and ate the cooked beef.

While eating, she personally prefers to listen to everyone chatting, which makes her feel extra lively, as if a deserted home suddenly became popular.

"By the way, how was Sister Ai's previous blind date?"

Beichuan Che coughed slightly and changed the topic.

When Toshiro Sei Rina mentioned the blind date with her best friend, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. To use the former's words after telling the story, with Ai's temperament, if she actually went on a blind date, there would be quite a lot visible to the naked eye. There is a high probability that it will end in failure.

Because from beginning to end, they are the same type of people emotionally.

"It failed." Rina Toshima put down her chopsticks, picked up the barley tea in front of her, took a sip, and then continued unhurriedly, "One is extroverted, the other is introverted. The most important thing is that these two People are all very strong. With such an arrangement and combination, Ah Che, tell the truth, can we really be together?"

Anyway, she feels that in a relationship, two people need to be accommodating and tolerant of each other. If you are strong, I am stronger, and the final result will be that the strong cannot join forces, and both sides will suffer.

"I think it depends on the compatibility. If it's really suitable, someone will give in, but if it's not suitable, it's gone." Kitagawa Che hesitated for a moment, but still gave such a not-so-absolute answer Answer it.

"The answer is that neither of them is willing to give in." Toshiro pursed her lips, "Then, this Saturday, to be precise, it's the day after tomorrow. It's just a day off for Ai, so I plan to go shopping and have a meal with Ai. "

Anyway, she planned to comfort Ai.

Even if the latter said that she had nothing to comfort her and that she could handle it alone, as an adult, how could she not understand that many times, the words "I can handle it" and "It doesn't matter" are more just words. Just cheer yourself up.

"Remember to take her to have a good meal." Kitagawa Teru gave Rina Toshima a "come on" look, "Only delicious food is the most comforting."

Anyway, before time travel, whenever he encountered setbacks, he would either put on headphones, listen to music, go to that small shop to have a meal alone, and when he came back, he would take a detour, take a walk, and see. People come and go, and negative emotions disappear.

"That's what I originally planned."

Rina Toshima blinked.

She has never been stingy in treating her friends.

"By the way, Master, there will be a party organized by the class next week. Do you want to go?"

Ejima, who was sitting next to Beiyuan Rinyin, suddenly raised his head and looked at Kitagawa Che.

Maybe it's because his young master stood in front of the stage, or maybe it's because his young master's performance in school was already excellent. In short, even after jumping from high school to college, the young master is still the same young master, and he is still so popular.

"Don't go."

Beichuan Che shook his head without thinking.

Rather than going to class parties, he personally prefers to stay at home, read books, and write songs.

What's more, he went to the class party last month.

The organizer of a party can't ask people to come to every party, right?

"Okay, I know."

Ejima nodded her head, already thinking about her polite refusal.

"It seems like our Che is already a very busy man~"

Baiyuan Shizhi picked up a piece of fruit from the fruit plate in front of him, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and teased Beichuan Che.

But I said it was a joke, but in fact, it was indeed the truth.

Since he entered university, his life has become busy at a speed visible to the naked eye. Of course, part of the reason is that the courses at Tokyo University have always been very densely packed, and part of it is due to the additional matters brought about by the pen name Kitagawa.

Just like his father said, famous authors can enjoy privileges, but at the same time, they also have to participate in many social situations. This is the subtle 'hidden rule'.

"For me, I prefer to stay at home."

Kitagawa Che shrugged and gave his answer concisely and concisely.

As he has always emphasized before, he prefers the soothing mood of staying at home.

"Uh-huh~" Baiyuan Shiori responded casually, and then changed the subject and talked about another thing that she was very interested in, "Some time ago, did Ache and Rina-san go to attend Kiriyama-san's party?" The engagement party?”

She has always been impressed by the couple Kiriyama Taku and Kiyono Akino.

On the one hand, Aiwujiwu and Ache have many same-sex friends, but the only one they have kept in contact with and get along well with is Taku Kiriyama. On the other hand, during the study trip in the senior year of high school, She had communicated with Kiyono Akino, and the latter left a good impression on her.

"Yes."

A trace of doubt flashed across Beichuan Che's eyes. He couldn't quite figure out the reason why Bai Yuan Shizhi suddenly mentioned this.

"Have they said a specific time for the wedding?" Baiyuan Shizhi paused, "I mean, can I attend?"

She is personally very interested in weddings involving people of the same age.

Although she hasn't spoken in her high school class line group for a long time, the classmates in that group still chat from time to time, but the gossip and TV dramas at the beginning have quietly turned into marriage, love, and having children.

"Of course." Kitagawa Che nodded, "But in terms of time, they haven't given an accurate signal yet, but according to Tuo's temperament, it will be next year at the latest."

There is no other reason. We will all be graduating next year and we will get married right after graduation. It makes sense.

Although it sounds like a flag at first glance, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with it.

"Okay, remember to take me with you when the time comes~!"

Baiyuan Shizhi blinked and gave Kitagawa Che a 'please' look.

This is a great opportunity to gather information.

"Didn't I say it, no problem."

Beichuan Che nodded and agreed.

"You two, please stop for a moment." Toshimaru Rina coughed lightly, "Well, if you don't eat quickly, you will be eaten~" She raised her eyebrows and motioned for the two of them to look at the table. Plate, "Here."

Most of the meat and vegetables had disappeared from the plates on the table.

After everyone got along for a long time, they relaxed accordingly when it came to eating.

Although Linyin, Miao, and Xuesha ate Xiangwen quietly and chewed slowly, they ate at a high speed and in large quantities.

"……I see!"

Bai Yuan Shizhi smoothed his sleeves, showing a very energetic look.

She knew that it was a joke that all the food was taken away. After all, there were quite a lot of ingredients frozen in the refrigerator at home.

But...

At this time, the food must be eaten in a hurry to taste it!

and so!

"Let's move!"

In unison, the three people who had been chatting just now, Kitagawa Teru, Bai Yuan Shiori, and Toshi Sei Rina, said this sentence.

Therefore, the first hot pot meal in early winter officially started in a heated atmosphere.

　First of all, I wish you all a happy holiday.

　　Regarding the issue we will talk about later, in fact, according to my original idea, each heroine should have two scenes. If you break it down, it may be about 10,000 words.

　　But when I actually started writing, I suddenly discovered that the purpose of writing Hou Day Tan was more to help the heroine who had relatively few roles in the book and to make a follow-up supplement.

　　If you really write it like that, it will most likely be self-defeating.

　　Therefore, after careful selection, I chose two female characters, one is Yukisa Morishima-san, and the other is Rina Toshima.

　　And maybe this last article is a collection (?) so to speak?

　　In short, the talk tomorrow comes to an end.

　　Long live happyend!

　　See you all tomorrow!
