After rebirth, I became Tokyo Sentimental

Chapter 27. He must be very capable
When I opened my eyes, I saw the familiar ceiling.

The hazy vision gradually became clear.

Yuko Shimizu stared at the ceiling with sleepy eyes for a moment, until she felt a clear tearing sensation in her body, which brought her back to her half-awake state.

Yet she did not feel happy or disappointed.

Instead, my hands and feet became cold unconsciously.

"What did I do last night?"

Yuko Shimizu recalled the scenes and process of last night, and subconsciously did not want to believe that it was real.

But whether it was the feeling from my body as I had never been used to sleeping naked, or the fragmented but extremely clear memory, it undoubtedly proved that what happened last night was an objective existence and could not be denied.

Yuko Shimizu's cheeks were a little pale.

After drinking so much, it really happened.

Shame, embarrassment, regret.

All kinds of emotions surged into my heart.

How bold she was last night, how much she regretted it now. The person she regretted was not herself, but the person who had asked for help from her good friend's son.

This is simply a stab in the back.

For something like this, no matter how much Yuko Shimizu comforted herself, she couldn't really pretend it never happened.

Being drunk is not a reason, and losing her virginity is not an excuse to cover up her mistakes. In the final analysis, it is her own fault, and she doesn't even have the face to see her old friends again.

Yuko Shimizu supported her body and leaned against the edge of the bed, her hands tightly grasping the quilt against her chest, her eyes empty and filled with complicated thoughts. After a long time, she sighed and shifted her unfocused gaze away.

"Has the child left?"

She murmured softly.

He must have left.

From the time I woke up to the time I sorted out my memories, and now after thinking for a long time but still not knowing how to solve the problem, more than ten minutes have passed, but there is no movement in the house.

But this also made her relieved.

After all, if Shimizu Yuko saw Harano Tsukasa's face now, she really didn't know what to say. Even if she felt guilty, she couldn't explain it so clearly.

This way, embarrassment can be avoided.

After unintentionally glancing to the side a few times, Shimizu Yuko was stunned when she saw other places in the apartment.

Because the apartment is relatively small, and Japanese houses are designed by designers to compress space to the extreme, even Yuko Shimizu can see almost the entire living room even from the bedroom.

But the scene she saw shocked her.

Because the apartment, which was originally littered with clothes and things, now looks brand new, things are neatly arranged on the coffee table and the shoe cabinet in the entrance, and the snacks scattered on the sofa are carefully sealed with clips and placed in rows in the storage box next to it.

Not only that, even the mahogany floor was now slightly shiny in the sunlight, and it was obvious that it had been mopped.

The whole house is incredibly clean.

As if it had been carefully cleaned by the housekeeper.

However, this was not the end. After she came to her senses after being stunned for a long time, she saw out of the corner of her eye a thick stack of banknotes on the bedside table to her left.

The thickness of the banknote is about two fingers thick.

There was also a note on it.

Yuko Shimizu had already vaguely guessed that the stack of money and the note were left by Harano Tsukasa, but she still stretched out her arm and picked up the note out of curiosity.

The few lines of words above immediately caught my eye.

"Aunt Shimizu, I'm really sorry."

"I didn't expect something like that to happen last night. It's my fault, but I don't know how to explain it, so I left before you woke up."

"You may not be able to accept this fact for a while, but this did happen. I'm sorry."

"Also, this money in the cabinet is for you. I heard at the bar yesterday that you seem to be having financial difficulties recently and have encountered some troubles with your house. This money should be enough. Please don't hesitate. It's not because of what happened last night. I would give it to you even if it didn't happen. This is what I should do as a junior. If it's not enough, please contact me again at any time."

"Harano Tsukasa"

"July 3rd at 8:00 AM"

The handwriting is neat and concise and looks very beautiful.

And his words also reveal a sense of responsibility.

If it was someone else, after what happened last night, leaving behind a stack of money, Shimizu Yuko would only feel that the money was an insult to herself and feel disgusted. But for Harano Tsukasa, whom she had only met for a day and whom she respected as an elder, she only felt that she had insulted him after getting drunk, and that he was still able to take care of and help her as before afterwards.

What a good child! He was ruined by me! I will never be able to see anyone again!
After reading it, Yuko Shimizu felt even more guilty. But before her guilt could settle in her heart, the crisp ringing of her cell phone beside her pillow interrupted her thoughts. However, after Yuko Shimizu subconsciously picked up the phone, she did not answer it immediately.

She was stunned for a moment because of the caller ID.

"Fujitani Chitsubaki"

A strong sense of catching an adulterer and a sense of being stolen suddenly surged into her heart, making her afraid to look directly at the familiar name on the phone screen, and she even wanted to throw the phone away.

However, reason prevented her from doing so.

The crisp ringing of the cell phone continued.

Normally, she would be very happy when she received a call from her friend, because it meant that she had an emotional trash can who was willing to listen to her complaints. But now it was different. In addition to the guilt she felt just now, a feeling of guilty conscience suddenly surged up.

All kinds of emotions surged in her heart, making it difficult for Yuko Shimizu to remain calm, but after the phone rang for more than ten seconds, she still gritted her teeth and answered the call.

"Sister Qian Chun."

"Is that Yuko?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was very gentle.

"It's me." Yuko Shimizu responded guiltily.

Chitsuki Fujitani on the other end of the phone felt that her tone was not right, but she did not think about it. After all, she knew that her friend loved to drink, especially when she was hungover, so she continued softly, "Did you just wake up? It seems a little early. Did I bother you a little with this call? Do you want to rest for a while and I will call you back later?"

But when Shimizu Yuko, who was already feeling guilty, heard that Fujitani Chitsuki was so concerned about her, she almost felt guilty. After forcing herself to calm down, she quickly said, "No, no, I've been awake for a while."

"I see." Fujitani Chitsuki responded softly, and then without thinking too much, she smiled and asked, "I'm calling for nothing else. Xiao Si said yesterday that he went to visit you, but I couldn't get through to him last night. The same thing happened to you. I don't know what's going on. Can the child help you?"

Hearing that her friend of more than 20 years still cared about her, and that she had deliberately done that kind of thing with her son yesterday while drunk, Shimizu Yuko wished she could find a hole to crawl into right now. She was so ashamed that she couldn't utter a word. The hand that was not holding the phone subconsciously clenched the quilt, and she had no idea how to respond.

"Yuko?"

"Ah? Sister Tsubaki, I'm here!"

"what happened to you?"

"It's okay. I was distracted just now." Shimizu Yuko quickly explained, and then said in a stumbling tone: "That kid Xiao Si helped a lot this time."

"really?"

"Really, really, you've helped a lot. My problem is solved. Xiao Si happens to know the person who caused trouble for me. We had dinner together too late last night, and I drank a little, so I didn't receive your call." Shimizu Yuko made up lies without thinking, and her guilty feeling became stronger and stronger.

"That's good, it's resolved." Fujitani Chitsuki then asked with concern: "You didn't drink too much, did you?"

"No...last night...I watched him sleep last night."

I did watch him sleep, but I couldn't see clearly because it was too dark with the lights off. But there is no need to say much about safety, after all, we were both sleeping in the same bed.

"That's really troublesome for you."

There was gratitude in Fujitani Chitsubaki's voice.

Shimizu Yuko's scalp tingled when she heard this. Out of her inner sense of morality, she almost blurted out what happened last night and then committed suicide after hearing this word of gratitude. However, she still tried her best to hide her inner thoughts and said with a wandering look in her eyes, "What's the trouble with this? It's me who should trouble Xiao Si and Sister Tsubaki."

"What's the matter? It doesn't matter."

"I...I owe you too much, Sister Tsubaki."

"Don't talk about what you owe me. You know, ever since that kid failed in his business and passed the civil service exam, his personality has become more and more dull. I rarely see him because I don't want to disturb him. But recently, the kid seems to have quit the civil service and started another career, so I didn't dare to ask too much. Yuko, you met him yesterday. I want to ask how the kid is doing now. Does he look healthy?"

Chitsuki Fujitani's voice is very gentle, and she is even more patient when she mentions Harano Tsukasa. Even just from the phone call, you can tell that as a mother, she cares deeply for her children.

But the more she did this, the more guilty Yuko Shimizu felt.

Why could she do such an unkind and unjust thing last night? How could she have the face to see Sister Chun again!

Shimizu Yuko thought painfully, but a vague memory of last night emerged in her mind. Her face gradually turned red and she whispered: "My body is fine."

"Ah?" The person on the other end of the phone seemed not to hear clearly.

"No, I mean he looks in good shape." Yuko Shimizu quickly explained again.

"Has Xiao Si told you what he's been doing recently? I can't ask too much about his affairs, but from what he said, he seems to be doing very well. Although a mother will always think her children are good, after meeting him, you think he should be quite capable, right?"

Hearing this, Shimizu Yuko did not answer directly. Instead, she suddenly remembered something and became nervous. She pursed her lips tightly to test it.

After a few seconds.

The sticky feeling was transmitted to the fingertips.

Shimizu Yuko had a complicated expression on her face. After a moment, she replied in a dry voice: "Yeah, it's really... quite impressive."
