You call this a love option?

Chapter 194 Kagoshima, New Year’s Day (4)

"The environment is good." Jiugong Ye said softly.

At this moment, the two of them were walking on the road around the lake. Jiugongye pulled the suitcase and made a grunting sound.

"real or fake?"

Minamoto Kawase thought that Minister Jiugong would at least say, "It's really quite rural."

Jiugong Ye sighed, "Do you think everyone is like you and likes to talk nonsense?"

"As long as you like it, don't stay there for two days before you can't stand it and want to go back." Gengawaze said with a smile.

The two of them talked all the way, and when they passed by the small shop, Gengawaze asked her to wait at the door.

"Sister Eiko, get a bag of salt."

Eiko Wataguchi was looking at the phone screen with an intoxicated look on her face, laughing "hehe" from time to time.

She was startled by the sudden entry of Minamoto Kawase and immediately covered her phone.

"Take...what to take?" Eiko Wataguchi asked with a smile.

"Salt."

Minamoto Kawase took a packet of salt from the shelf.

Eiko Wataguchi spotted the girl standing at the door, "Is that the girlfriend you were looking for in Tokyo?"

The girl standing in front of the store looked so perfect under the street lights. Occasionally, a few strands of hair were blown up by the wind, and she pushed them back behind her ears.

It's too beautiful.

"Another girlfriend is at home?" Eiko Wataguchi asked jokingly.

Genkawase didn't reply and silently took out a few coins from his pocket to pay.

"Sister Eiko, if you keep doing this, I will tell you that you are watching Shota anime."

Eiko Wataguchi's face suddenly became panicked, "You...you saw it all?!"

"Yes." Gengawaze nodded.

"Okay, okay, I won't talk about the head office anymore..." Eiko Toguchi softened.

When she walked out of the small shop, Minamoto Kawase also said Happy New Year to her.

"What were you talking about just now?" Jiugong Ye asked.

She stood at the door, her hands a little cold from the wind.

"It's nothing, just a few words of greeting." Minamoto Kawase said.

Jiugong Yeping stared at him.

"Okay, sister Eiko just asked me if you were my girlfriend." Gengawaze told the truth.

Seeing that Minamoto Kawase told the truth, Jiugong Ye looked back.

When I got home and opened the door, I could already smell the aroma of vegetables from the entrance.

"Xiang, there should be braised pork ribs tonight." Minamoto Kawase said while helping Jiugongye unpack his new slippers.

Yuanchuan Ai had already heard the voice and came out.

"Hello, auntie, I am Jiugong Ye, and I am the director of Mr. Yuanchuan."

"Also a dear friend."

Minamoto Kawase made sure to emphasize that the two were not ordinary friends.

Jiugongye glanced at Genkawase and bowed slightly, "Although we have chatted on the phone many times, this is the first time we have met. Hello."

Yuanchuan Ai had never seen such a formation before, and she was very surprised when he said hello and bowed at the same time.

"Ye-chan, hurry up, come in first?"

Yuanchuan Ai suddenly discovered that Jiugongye took the suitcase himself.

She said in a reproachful tone, "Ase, why don't you help others with their luggage?"

"she……"

Just when Minamoto Kawase wanted to say, 'She insisted on taking it,' her mother ignored him and pulled Kunomiyaha's suitcase in.

"I don't even have this kind of treatment..." Genkawase sighed and put on slippers.

In the living room, the food on the table was ready. When he saw Jiugong Ye, Yuan Chuanle immediately came over to pick up the suitcase, "Sister Ye, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year."

Jiugong Ye nodded slightly, turned his eyes, and saw Kitagawa Asami.

"What a coincidence, Jiugong-san, Happy New Year." Asami Kitagawa also greeted with a smile.

Jiugongye said softly.

"Sit down quickly, the chicken soup will be ready when I add some salt." Yuanchuan's mother greeted.

"Excuse me." Jiugongye took off his white down jacket, "This..."

"Just give it to me!"

Yuanchuan Le tied off his down jacket and put it on the sofa aside.

On the other side, Minamoto Kawase handed the salt to his mother and then sat down at the dining table.

"Just be casual, just treat it as your own home..." Gengawa Ze said, and found that his father Gengawa Hayabusa hadn't come back yet.

"Dad said the port is busy and I won't go home today." Yuan Chuanle said.

Going to sea and not having much rest time all year round, Minamoto Kawase decided that his father must quit this job in the future.

The current layout of the dining table.

On one side are Kitagawa Asami and Gengawa Raku.

On the other side, from left to right are Mother Minamoto, Minamoto Sze, and Kunomiyaha.

Yuanchuan's mother went to the kitchen to finish the chicken soup, but the seat was temporarily empty.

"Kuomiya-kun, didn't you come just tomorrow?" Kitagawa Asami put a piece of green vegetables into the bowl but didn't eat it.

"Did it make you unhappy?"

Jiugongye took a bite of the green beans and thought they tasted good, so she picked up two more chopsticks.

Kitagawa Asami immediately smiled and said: "How could it be possible? It's just a bit unexpected..."

"Actually, I'm surprised that you're coming." Jiugong Ye said in a calm tone.

No matter how delicious the food is, you can't eat too much. Jiugongye continued to taste the steamed fish.

My younger sister, Yuan Chuanle, always feels that something is wrong in the atmosphere at the dinner table, but I can’t express it...

Seeing Kitagawa Asami's emotional color start to turn red, Minamoto Kawase was about to think of some way to change the topic when his mother had already arrived with chicken soup.

"Here, try the chicken soup. It has been simmering for a long time." Yuanchuan's mother opened the lid, and the rich aroma rushed over.

Minamoto Kawase took the lead in serving a bowl.

Someone was holding the spoon. Yuan Chuanle immediately finished the few dishes in the bowl and handed the bowl over, "Brother, fill up the soup."

Gengawaze didn't say anything, took the bowl, pushed away the layer of oil on the surface of the soup, and took a big spoonful.

Yuanchuan's mother stood aside and signaled her son with her eyes.

Gengawaze could only look at the two guests from Tokyo, "Do you want me to serve soup?"

"Excuse me, Ase." Kitagawa Asami handed over the bowl.

Hearing the name 'Aze', Jiugongye briefly glanced at Kitagawa Asami.

"I'll just do it myself."

Jiugongye was the second one to take the spoon, filled half the bowl, let it cool down and took a sip.

"It tastes good." Kitagawa Asami nodded repeatedly.

"The chicken itself is good. It should be free-range chicken that has been raised for more than a year. The ginger slices and chives should have been fried in advance, and cinnamon and star anise are added... Are these ingredients from China?"

"Is it not to your liking?" Yuanchuan Ai asked worriedly.

She usually likes to look for cooking tutorials on the Internet, and this pot of chicken soup was just learned some time ago.

"No." Jiugong Ye shook his head, "It tastes good, and the ratio of aniseed is also good. It would be better if there was less oil."

Minister Jiugong doesn't like lying, so he should be sincerely praised.

Minamoto Kawase was thinking about it while drinking soup.

Seeing that Jiugong Ye was very particular about making soup, Yuanchuan's mother was a little surprised: "Has Ye Jiang also learned how to make soup?"

"A little bit."

I heard that middle-aged women like cooking. On the way here, Jiugongye read the recipes for half an hour.

Yuanchuan's mother smiled and said, "If it tastes good, drink more."

Seeing that both girls thought it tasted good, Yuanchuan Ai was very happy.

In fact, Jiugongye had already eaten when he arrived, but he still added a small bowl of chicken soup to his dinner.

After dinner, she planned to check out the tidy room.

Minamoto Kawase and his sister took care of the house for half an hour last night, but in the end the floor was not swept. "I'll do it myself."

Jiugong took a look at the house. It was not spacious, but it was enough for a temporary stay for a few days.

"Minister Jiugong, if you want to take a bath, you can use the bathroom in Ale's room."

Yuanchuan's house has two bathrooms, one in the living room and one in Yuanchuan's room for her exclusive use.

At first, because his sister's room had a bathroom but he didn't, Minamoto Kawase protested for a while.

"It's late. Go to bed after taking a shower. I'll show you city people the world tomorrow."

"Ah."

After simply cleaning the room, Jiugongye took out a set of pajamas from the suitcase and prepared to take a bath in Yuan Chuanle's room.

Knock on the door.

There was a voice asking to come in, and Jiugongye opened the door and went in.

Because she didn't like using other people's sheets and quilts, Genchuan Ryo's room was given to Kitagawa Asami.

At this moment, Asami Kitagawa had just finished taking a shower and was sitting on the bedside looking at her mobile phone.

After a simple exchange of eyes, Jiugongye went straight into the bathroom.

"Kumiya-kun, Asami would like to ask, why did Hakone hang up on Asami that day?" Kitagawa Asami suddenly asked.

That day, after Jiugongye heard Kitagawa Asami's voice, she simply replied with a few words and then hung up.

"All that needs to be said has been said." Jiugong Ye said in a calm tone.

"Are you afraid of something if you don't listen to what I have to say?" Kitagawa Asami said with a smile.

"Kitagawa-san, I thought you could at least be more mature and not be boring to a certain point, but now it seems that your thoughts are as childish as your extremely small body."

Asami Kitagawa couldn't hold back her smile, but she quickly calmed down.

"There is really no advantage in arguing with Kunomiya-san, but... Ase knows best whether Asami is childish or not."

Asami Kitagawa stretched out her petite left hand and made an 'OK' gesture, which was not loud but could be heard in the room.

"Aze's one is very comfortable, Asami likes it very much..."

Jiugong Ye stopped and looked at Kitagawa Asami with calm eyes.

"How's it going?" Kitagawa Asami showed a victorious smile, "Originally, Hakone was going to tell you that day, but you hung up the phone too quickly, so let's make it clear today..."

"Aze's actions are very rude, but Asami likes it very much. It must be a side of Jiugong-san that I have never seen before..."

"You haven't seen how much Ase loves me..."

The sound of a basin falling to the ground.

Asami Kitagawa was knocked down before she could finish the last sentence.

Jiugong Ye's eyes were cold and he took advantage of his height to push Asami Kitagawa onto the bed and tightly hold her hands.

"A third party can only use this method to steal men, and still feels proud of it? Do you think Yuanchuan-san really likes you?!"

Kitagawa Asami didn't react for a while. She didn't expect Jiugongye's reaction to be so big.

After regaining consciousness, Kitagawa Asami put her head on Jiugongha's chest and began to resist.

Except for their height, their strength and stamina are pretty much the same.

Kitagawa Asami successfully overthrew Kunomiyaha, Tachibana's situation changed drastically, and their positions were interchangeable.

"What third party? Got it figured out, who is the third party now?" Asami Kitagawa was originally dissatisfied with Jiugongha.

"So what if Genkawa-san didn't like me before? I only focus on the present. Now Ase likes me, and he will like me even more in the future!"

Jiugong Ye stared at Kitagawa Asami with calm eyes, "It's so pitiful to get love in this way."

"It's better than some people who let opportunities slip away before their eyes." Kitagawa Asami said with a smile, "Kuomiya-san, thank you for giving Ase to me."

"You can try and see who he listens to." Jiugongye said coldly.

"If you don't even understand Ase's character, Jiugong-san has spent so long with him in vain."

Asami Kitagawa had no fear of Jiugongha's words.

Minamoto Kawase is a responsible person, which can be seen from his family.

It is almost impossible for him to get rid of Kitagawa Asami now.

This feeling is very uncomfortable.

It felt... like someone had stolen something of hers, and the other party could retort with reason, proving that it belonged to her.

If you can endure it, it won't be Jiugongye. "You know in your heart who Yuanchuan-san likes more. What's mine will only be mine, and no one can take it away."

"Accompany."

knocking.

"Sister Asami?" Yuan Chuanle's voice said, "I heard a sound in the room, are you okay?"

The two looked at each other silently.

"It's okay." Kitagawa Asami said towards the entrance.

When Gengawa Raku came in, Kitagawa Asami had already sat back on the bed, and Jiugongha also took a basin to prepare for the bathroom today.

"Sister Ye, do you want to take a bath?"

"Yes."

It seemed that he had just done something very consuming. Jiugong Ye took a breath and his face turned a little red.

"That's just right!" Yuan Chuanle said with a smile, "When Sister Ye comes out, let's listen to the song I wrote!"

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

the next morning.

At six o'clock, Minamoto Kawase got up early as usual, washed up and went for a morning run.

At this point, the sun in Linshui Town had just peeked out, glowing white in the sky.

While Gengawaze was pouring iced barley tea, he heard a sound coming from the stairs.

"Minister Jiugong?"

Under Minamoto Kawase's doubtful eyes, Jiugongye walked down and picked up a glass from the side of the pool.

"drink."

Jiugongye handed over the cup.

Gengawaze noticed that her eyes seemed to reveal fatigue, and she probably didn't sleep well last night.

"Aren't you used to sleeping in bed?"

Minamoto Kawase asked while pouring barley tea.

"Fortunately."

After drinking the iced wheat tea, Jiugongye left a message of "Wait for me here" and returned to the room.

It always feels weird...

But the ministers of the Nine Palaces had already spoken, so they had to wait.

After 5 minutes, Jiugongye put on a fresh set of clothes and went downstairs.

Gengawaze looked at her, came down from the second floor, and walked towards the entrance.

"Why are you standing still?"

Minamoto Kawase became even more confused, but still followed.

"Minister Jiugong, I'm going for a morning jog..."

Jiugongye said in a tone that contained no emotion, "Same as you."

what?
Genkawase almost thought that he was still lying in bed dreaming.

Minister Jiugong actually also runs in the morning? !
Gengawa touched Jiugongye's forehead, but the latter tilted his head and avoided it.

"What?"

"See if you have a fever..." Genkawase was really worried about this.

"What? You can run, but I can't?" Putting on his shoes, Jiugongye took the lead and walked out.

Today’s Minister Jiugong is so weird...

It was very cold in Linshui Town at six o'clock. Minamoto Kawase only wore less clothes because he was in good physical condition.

As for Minister Jiugong, he only wore a shirt underneath, a silver jacket that didn't look thick, and only leggings for running.

"Minister Jiugong, is it really okay for you to wear so little?"

Minamoto Kawase was a little worried, feeling that Jiugong Ye was unusual when he woke up early in the morning.

Jiugong Ye took a breath of hot breath on his hand, white mist curled up, "Stop talking nonsense."
