After rebirth, I became Tokyo Sentimental

Chapter 19. Heroes are like crucian carp in the river
Yuan Ye Si turned his head to look at her.

Kurosaki Orizuki also looked at him with a smile.

Their eyes met.

The atmosphere suddenly became stiff, the ambiguous feeling instantly disappeared, and even the air around seemed to become sticky.

And then the next moment.

A hand was raised.

It was Kurosaki Oritsuki’s hand.

The slender white palm looked like a work of art, and at this moment it covered the unfathomable trench, concealing the snow-white spring light that was deliberately revealed to him, while keeping a distance.

There was no shouting as imagined, nor any insults, only a playful smile in the eyes.

Kurosaki Orizuki pursed her light red lips, her eyes narrowed into crescent shapes, her long and crystal eyelashes slightly raised, and she was quiet as if waiting for how he would perform.

"test?"

Harano Tsukasa withdrew his gaze from her already covered chest and asked a question following her words.

"Yes."

Kurosaki Orizuki said with an undeniable smile.

Yuan Ye Si's expression did not change, and he seemed not to understand what she was saying. He turned his head and took a sip of the tea that was no longer steaming. "What test?"

"As a friend of Saka, even if I have no sense of propriety, Harano-kun should keep an appropriate safe distance from me, especially when we are alone, isn't that right?" Kurosaki Orizuki rested his right arm on the coffee table, and his slender white fingers stroked his light red lips.

"Ms. Kurosaki, do you know that you have no sense of propriety?"

"You want to quibble with me?"

"No, I have nothing to quibble about."

Yuan Ye Si put down the teacup and asked with a strange look on his face: "I'm a man, isn't it normal to be a little lustful?"

"Is this normal?" Kurosaki Orizuki narrowed her beautiful eyes.

"Is it abnormal?" Harano Tsukasa glanced at the woman several dozen centimeters away from him with a bolder gaze this time. He especially looked at her delicate white jade toes exposed outside her black dress. While observing and appreciating them, he asked in a serious tone, "Or does Miss Kurosaki think that her figure and appearance are not good enough for me to be lustful of?"

"Interesting." Kurosaki Orizuki was silent for a moment.

"So what does Miss Kurosaki find interesting?"

"Nothing is interesting." Kurosaki Orizuki restrained his smile: "It's just a waste of time to argue. I will tell Sasaka what happened today truthfully."

"Please do as you wish." Yuanye Si looked calm.

Kurosaki Orizuki did not move, but looked at him calmly, as if she wanted to see something from his face. After being silent for a while, she suddenly smiled and said, "So you don't like Sasaki."

"I like her."

"You're lying." Kurosaki Orizuki's eyes revealed irritation: "If you really like me, you wouldn't have stared at my chest just now, and then you would have tried to make excuses after being exposed. Even now, when you heard me tell you, you still looked indifferent."

"So Miss Kurosaki has come to me now just to test my loyalty to Section Chief Suzumiya?"

Yuan Ye Si asked after hesitating for a moment.

"It is."

"Really?"

Hearing this word, Yuanye Si murmured.

As if he had thought of something, he smiled and continued, "I just wonder how Section Chief Suzumiya would feel if he knew that Miss Kurosaki took the initiative to test me in this way."

Without giving her a chance to speak, Yuanye Si rubbed his chin and muttered to himself: "Maybe he will be grateful?"

"What do you mean?"

Kurosaki Orizuki felt something was wrong in his heart.

The annoyance in her eyes gradually faded.

Listening to these inexplicable words, the anger that had originally arisen in her heart due to the disruption of her rhythm was dissipated a lot, and her brain also regained its calmness at this moment.

However, at this moment, Harano Tsukasa did not intend to give her too much time to think. He took out his mobile phone from his shirt pocket and swiped the screen while saying, "Since Miss Kurosaki wants to tell Section Chief Suzumiya about what happened today, why not tell her now?"

"You want to call Saeka?"

Seeing this, Kurosaki Orizuki was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and clenched her fingers on her thighs.

"Yes."

Harano Tsukasa lowered his head and responded.

"Okay."

Kurosaki Orizuki fell silent, her pretty fair face expressionless, completely losing her previous calmness, but she still didn't think that he really dared to fight.

But the man in front of her seemed to always be unexpected and unpredictable from the very beginning.

She saw with her own eyes that Harano Tsukasa unlocked the screen of his phone and placed it flat on the coffee table. He then opened the address book and scrolled through it until he finally stopped at Suzumiya Saka's name and called her without any hesitation.

The hands-free mode was also turned on by Yuanye Si.

There were beeps of silence coming from the microphone, and every echo seemed to strike at the tip of Kurosaki Orizuki's heart.

But she forced herself to remain calm.

In Kurosaki Oritsuki's opinion, if Harano Tsukasa really made this call and even explained the real situation to Suzumiya Saka, then this move would undoubtedly kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of his own, and would not benefit anyone.

Although they had only been together for a short time, she also felt that the man in front of her seemed to be particularly difficult to deal with, and had a deep mind that did not match his appearance. At least his current attitude of fighting to the death was enough to make Kurosaki Orizuki believe that Harano Tsukasa was not a simple person, and it also made her regret that she had rashly come to him for a fish whose background she did not know, and used relatively extreme means.

"Hey…"

Just when Kurosaki Orizuki's mind was in a mess, the phone that had been ringing for a long time was finally connected.

"cold…"

When Yuanye Si was about to reply, a familiar slender hand appeared in his eyes and pressed the hang-up button on the screen with lightning speed.

He raised his head in the direction of the hand.

Then, the sight came into view, with the pretty face of Kurosaki Orizuki, which was expressionless compared to before.

"Ms. Kurosaki?"

"Just pretend I wasn't here today."

Kurosaki Orizuki stared into his eyes, slowly withdrew the hand that had hung up the phone call he made to Suzumiya Saka, and spoke word by word after slightly opening her red lips.

After saying this, she suddenly stood up and pretended to leave.

But he was stopped by a word from Yuanye Si.

"So you're planning on leaving?"

Kurosaki Orizuki paused, turned sideways and looked back at him who was sitting cross-legged next to the coffee table. After a moment, he asked, "Are you going to keep me for dinner, Harano-kun?"

"That's not the case. However, after Miss Kurosaki's reminder just now, I have realized one thing."

"Appreciate further details."

Kurosaki Orizuki stared at his face.

"Section Chief Suzumiya's experience is indeed not rich enough."

The screen of Harano Tsukasa's phone on the coffee table lit up again. It was a call from Suzumiya Saka. He glanced at it and hung up before continuing, "If I'm not mistaken, Miss Kurosaki has been observing my home since I entered the door, and she has been trying to probe my financial situation in various ways. I don't know if she is really considering me for Section Chief Suzumiya, or if she has other thoughts..."

"What else are you thinking about?" Kurosaki Orizuki stood barefoot on the mahogany floor with a bag on her shoulder.

Harano Tsukasa did not answer her question, but asked in return: "What is Miss Kurosaki's family background?"

“Working families.”

Kurosaki Orizuki still had no expression on his face.

"That's not surprising."

Seeing the call coming again, Harano Tsukasa directly chose to mute it: "Although I don't know Section Chief Suzumiya too well, I have heard from other colleagues that Section Chief's family is very well-off. Generally speaking, people of the same kind gather together, and when friends from different family conditions are together, there will indeed be a sense of disparity, and some strange thoughts will arise."

Kurosaki Orizuki was silent for a moment, and there was no emotion on his sickly pale face: "Please list them."

"For example, out of jealousy, they want to prove that they are better than their friends, and they wish that the people who like their friends will like them back, so as to satisfy their own pitiful self-esteem."

"For example, if you are almost 30 years old and are still looking for a partner, but you haven't found a suitable partner because you are not qualified enough, and the candidates around your friends with wealthy families are better than those around you, maybe you can pick a good one through this relationship?"

Harano Tsukasa's voice was not a question, but rather it sounded more like he was explaining the answers in the book. Although each sentence was spoken softly, to Kurosaki Orizuki's ears it was as if she was being recited from a book, revealing her inner thoughts.

If Kurosaki Oritsuki was not a staunch materialist, she would even think that Harano Tsukasa had the ability to read minds, but even so, her pupils shrank involuntarily when she heard these words. She felt that Harano Tsukasa was proficient in psychology or micro-expressions, otherwise he would not have been able to guess so accurately.

Only now did she realize that it was an absolute mistake for her to come here on her own initiative from the beginning.

The man in front of him, who was much younger than him, was not the kind of idiot who could be confused by a few words, nor was he the kind of innocent guy who had been in love with his female boss for two years before he dared to tell her.

For this kind of person, Kurosaki Orizuki felt a strong sense of déjà vu in her heart, but it was precisely because of this sense of déjà vu that she felt more and more uncomfortable the longer she stayed.

Kurosaki Orizuki lowered her head slightly, her long black eyelashes fluttering from time to time, as if she was expressing her restless heart. However, after being silent for nearly half a minute, she suddenly raised her head, revealing her sickly pale face. Instead of the anger and rebuttal that one might have imagined, she smiled bitterly with her moist lips slightly opened:

"Yuanye-kun, we have only met twice since today, do you think I am so dirty?"

There are so many heroes in the world.

Yuanye Si sighed in his heart.

Just based on the ability to control his emotions after having the last fig leaf torn off, and the fact that he was still fighting back when the relationship was about to fall out, Kurosaki Orizuki can be called a master!
"Of course not. Miss Kurosaki asked me to list them just now. I didn't say anything about you. It's just that I have always believed that human evil has no bottom line, so I often think too much." Of course, Harano Tsukasa couldn't point it out.

"This is very nerve-wracking, isn't it?"

"Fortunately."

"Then is there anything else?"

"Would you like to have dinner together?" Yuan Ye Si propped up the coffee table with his hands, stood up and asked, "My treat."

Kurosaki Orizuki was obviously not in the mood, but she still did an impeccable job of saving face. She walked barefoot to the entrance to change her shoes and said, "No need. I may have a consultation tonight, and I need to go back to work."

"Then let's leave a contact?"

Harano Tsukasa watched as the water vapor marks on the floor created by the residual warmth of Kurosaki Orizuki's feet disappeared visibly.

Kurosaki Orizuki paused for a few seconds.

She seemed to be hesitating, but finally reached into her bag and fumbled for a moment, then took out a pure white paper business card and placed it on the shoe cabinet in the entrance.

"this is my name card."

"You're still so polite. Aren't you tired?"

Seeing this, Yuanye Si suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Kurosaki Orizuki turned her face to the side, and she had regained her graceful and charming appearance when they first met. She chuckled and said, "In the adult world, it is not a place where children can rest in someone's arms when they are tired from playing."
