Tokyo: Starting from staying with my mother’s best friend

Chapter 39 The old aunt’s toes are all clean

The driver drove back from the Imperial Palace to Shibuya.

Huacheng Xingzi's car is a customized Maybach. When the curtain between the front row and the back row is lowered, there are two independent spaces.

At this moment, the old aunt leaning on the back seat had a frosty face.

"Aunt Xingzi..."

Ionuma Isao observed her face carefully.

"Humph!"

Huacheng Xingzi is still sideways.

The slightly upturned nose emerged in the dusk, revealing her stubborn character.

"What happened just now was out of necessity. I wasn't afraid that something bad would happen if you and Aunt Lizi quarreled, so I comforted you like that..."

Ionuma Isao is shamelessly cunning... Bah, he explained helplessly.

Mentioning this matter, Huacheng Xingzi's beautiful phoenix eyes sparkled faintly.

My clothes are still wet now!
Brat, have I been so nice to you recently that you start to pay less attention to me as your mistress?
Looking at her cold face, explaining that explanation would not work, Iinuma Isao simply stopped explaining and changed the topic directly: "I have always had a doubt."

"Humph!"

Huacheng Xingzi still ignored him.

"According to Aunt Lizi's opinion, as long as you tell her, she will definitely help you." Iinuma Isao looked at her profile and asked: "Why don't you speak? Do you really think that Can’t you show weakness in front of your family?”

Hearing this question, Huacheng Xingzi frowned.

She remained silent, but the frost on her face obviously melted a little.

"For example, at a funeral..." Iinuma Isao leaned closer to her and said after considering: "Suppose, if Tanaka Saburo's fat pig's plan succeeds, you will face countless insults. ."

Huacheng Xingzi suddenly turned to look at him.

Looking at the young man's tall and healthy body, she thought to herself that the handsome young wolfdog was more than [-] times better than the fat man.

Iinuma Isao met her less cold gaze and asked seriously: "Aunt Lizi was there at that time, why didn't you let her help? Do you think maintaining face is more important than possibly losing your virginity?"

Huacheng Xingzi was silent for a moment after being asked, and then sighed quietly: "Do you think I take chastity very lightly?"

"Clam?"

Ionuma Isao didn't understand why she suddenly asked this.

"My husband has just died. Isn't it very dissolute to sleep with a little boy I just met during the period of mourning?"

"If you say so, it is indeed a bit..."

Huacheng Xingzi's face turned cold instantly.

Ionuma Isao immediately changed his words: "It's just a last resort and expedient measure, it can't explain anything!"

"I actually care about chastity..." Huacheng Xingzi said to herself.

The light outside the window became dimmer again, and the black color of her kimono became darker. This color made people feel a little pitiful.

Looking at her cold and pale profile in the night, Iinuma Isao nodded with a calm smile on his face: "I'm sure!"

The fact that you are still a virgin at the age of 37 is the best proof.

Huacheng Xingzi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she glanced at him to express her gratitude.

"Although I value chastity, even more than life. But there are more important things that need to be prioritized than chastity."

While speaking, Huacheng Xingzi's face returned to the majesty of the mistress, and she said the next sentence lightly but without hesitation:
"Family is what is more important to chastity."

——What is mistress magnanimity?
Ionuma Isao listened to her quietly.

"The reason why Li Zi can defy heaven and earth and have a transcendent status in the palace is because she owes nothing to anyone and has no interest relationship with anyone at all. The emperor can be completely assured of her. If I ask her, she will certainly be willing to help. I am my sister, but after all, she is just a female official with no real power..." The light in Huacheng Xingzi's narrow phoenix eyes dimmed for a moment.

Ionuma Isao probably knew what she was going to say.

"If she wants to help me, she can only ask people with real power. With her position in the palace, there will naturally be people who are willing to help. But in this way, she is equivalent to having an interest relationship with the outside world. She owes When it comes to repaying a favor, what should she give back? She can only use the face given by the emperor to find another person again, and then find the next person to repay this favor. If this continues, her detached status in the palace will be It is inevitable that she will no longer be able to maintain it, and she will gradually transform from an admired literary official to a social butterfly who has to rely on people with real power to survive..."

After hearing what she said, Ionuma Isao nodded silently.

Indeed it is.

Aunt Lizi now has no interest relationship with the outside world and is trustworthy to the emperor.

But once she had contact with the outside world, in the eyes of the emperor, her foundation was not clean and she could be kicked away at any time.

"so……"

Huacheng Xingzi slowly turned her gaze back to the window.

The afterglow of sunset still lingers faintly over the distant tall buildings, and the outline of the scenery seen through the car window has been eclipsed.

"Even if I lose my virginity, I don't want my little sister to lose what she needs to survive because of me..."

Her voice was extremely beautiful and almost sad, echoing in the carriage for a long time.

"Besides, I won't lose!"

The old aunt finally said something harsh.

Ionuma Isao felt like he was electrocuted by her.

Especially when the headlights of the cars on the opposite lane penetrated through the hazy undercurrent of dusk and fog, illuminating her face.

That otherworldly transparent illusion brought indescribable beauty, making his heart almost tremble.

In the book "Snow Country", Kawabata Yasunari used the sentence "The impression of a woman is surprisingly clean, and it even makes people think that the curls of her toes are also clean" to describe the kind of geisha Komako who is not muddy but not dirty. dyed beauty.

At this moment, Iinuma Isao was in a turmoil and couldn't help but said: "Aunt Kyoko, the inside of your toes is probably clean too!"

"About? About what? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Huacheng Xingzi turned her head and glared at him, scolding like a stern female teacher facing a student who answered a question incorrectly: "It's not like you haven't played with Auntie's toes. Isn't it as clean as if you've been licked there?" ?"

"..."

Ionuma Isao's face was black and smelly.

If you say this to Aunt Lizi, she will definitely shake her face slightly to the left and right for a while, a blush will appear on her cheeks, and she will scold him like a baby: "This is not true, is it? People in Tokyo love to lie, it's annoying!"

Yes, people in Tokyo love to lie. This was also said by Kawabata Yasunari.

It's a pity that Aunt Xingzi has been severely beaten by society for so many years, and the literary and artistic cells in her body have long since died.

"That's a compliment to you..."

Ionuma Isao laughed helplessly.

Huacheng Xingzi said emotionally: "I don't need to praise!"

"Okay, okay, you are awesome!" Ionuma Isao complimented with a smile. Suddenly he remembered something and asked curiously: "According to the saying that relatives are more important than chastity, am I also considered your relative?"

"..."

Huacheng Xingzi faced the window indifferently.

Looking at the sunset on the Tokyo skyline, the lady's pretty cheeks quietly turned red.

She considered him to be more important than her virginity. After all... except for the last layer of her so-called chastity, almost everything else was taken away by this brat, so how could she have the nerve to mention it again.
