After rebirth, I became Tokyo Sentimental

Chapter 49. Seems to have caught the tail of youth
"I pester you?"

Suzumiya Saka was almost laughing out of anger.

She felt confused.

The date was going well, why did this guy suddenly say such weird things?

"Aren't you bothering me?" Yuan Ye Si's hair was blown into a mess by the night wind.

"I confessed my feelings to you in the office but was rejected. At that time, I had already decided to give up. But for some reason, Suzumiya-san was unwilling to approve my resignation application. He also got angry with me after we met by chance. He was also dissatisfied with Director Hoshino."

"I can understand that this is revenge. After all, my behavior at that time was very offensive. Of course, I can sincerely apologize to you, but I don't think you are a trouble. I just think you don't need to waste your time on me. After all, I liked you. If you like someone, even if you are rejected, you should hope that she can live a good life. This is what I should do."

"If you accept my apology, I can apologize now. If you don't, I can also accept your revenge. I have no problem with how you deal with me, but I hope you won't vent your anger on Hoshino-san and others, including Shigeeda-san who I met today. After all, this matter is a private matter between the two of us from beginning to end, and it doesn't involve anyone else."

Harano Tsukasa's sudden change of topic caught Suzumiya Saka off guard. She didn't expect that the other party would bring up this topic at this time, and his expression seemed very serious, which made her confused for a moment.

But if you take a closer look at what he said...

Why do I feel like I'm drawing a line between myself and others?

Suzumiya Saka felt a little flustered for no reason, but she remained calm, picking out the loophole in his words and said through gritted teeth: "You are indeed having an affair with Hoshino!"

"We are not dating at the moment."

"Will I believe it?"

"Whether you believe it or not is up to you, but I don't need to explain it to you. I said all this just to help you find a better destination. After all, I'm not the kind of person who will destroy something if I can't get it. I just hope that you can live a better life, even if that person is not me."

The feeling of drawing a line in the sand has become clearer.

Suzumiya Saka became even more panicked.

She looked at Yuanye Si's face, which was as calm as usual, and could feel that he was serious in his words, but the more so, the more she didn't understand why Yuanye Si suddenly said this now.

Half a month ago, she would have sneered at these words, thinking that Yuanye Si was using a cheap trick of playing hard to get to attract attention.

But now, both his demeanor and the extremely serious tone of voice seemed to indicate that he wanted to say goodbye to her completely and that he didn't plan to have any contact with her in the future. Saying these words was as if the final instructions of a person who had failed in the pursuit of love were being given.

Suzumiya Saka's heartbeat kept accelerating, her breathing was a little stagnant, and she even felt a little scared.

But her good upbringing and self-esteem did not allow her to show these things, so even if she was panicked, she just remembered what Yuan Ye Si had said to her: "Can you accept me dating other men?"

"Whether you can accept it or not, you have to accept it in the end, right?" Yuan Ye Si thought for a while and then spoke.

The truth is this...

But why can't you keep going?
Think of this.

In fact, she felt that she had gone a little too far.

After all, even though she is only 30 years old and has never dated a man, it doesn't mean she doesn't understand the twists and turns involved. At least she knows that no matter how much a person likes his or her secret crush, his or her patience will be consumed by repeated rejections until it is completely exhausted.

But she didn't have time to agree...

And the conditions were too inappropriate.

At least now that I understand all of Harano Tsukasa's conditions, it would be a lot of trouble if we really wanted to get married.

But think about it carefully...

It seems that there are no other troubles except family background.

Although there is a five or six year age difference between them, I am not yet 30 years old. If I get married this year and have another two-year honeymoon, I will have a healthy and energetic body to give birth to a child before I become an older mother.

This way nothing will be delayed.

But dating and marriage...

She never thought she would face it so soon.

What's more, he now looks like he's leaving.

Suzumiya Sasaka was angry and anxious. Seeing that he looked determined and seemed to have made up his mind, her face darkened. She secretly hated him for changing his mind so quickly: "It's okay for you to wish me happiness, but it's easy to say this, but it's not easy to find someone I like."

"Then you wouldn't be so cruel as to ask me, someone who liked you, to help you find a boyfriend, right?"

Harano Tsukasa smiled, her face reflected in his eyes, and said, "There are 14.17 million people in Tokyo, and more than 7 million men. Even if the probability is only one in a million, there are still seven people."

"This data is inaccurate, it also includes children and the elderly." Suzumiya Saka said upset.

"..." Yuanye Si said: "There is always one."

"Who knows." Suzumiya Saka said stubbornly.

"So how do you plan to treat me?" Yuanye Si pondered for a moment and asked the question again.

Hearing these words, Suzumiya Saka realized that he wanted an answer, and the answer he wanted now was no longer the original promise.

Or rather, it’s not that I don’t want to.

And I have already accepted failure in my heart.

She couldn't help but look at Yuanye Si. Calm.

I felt very calm, just like when I saw the test paper after having memorized the answers in my head.

Many thoughts suddenly emerged in Suzumiya Saka's mind. When she looked at him, the panic she had just felt suddenly disappeared, but the feeling of impending departure seemed to leave her heart empty. This feeling of emptiness became stronger and stronger, so strong that she couldn't help but ask, "Do you still like me?"

However, Harano's reaction disappointed her.

Because when he heard the question, his expression became strange for a moment as if there was some sudden change on his face.

"Why hesitate!"

Suzumiya Saka shouted angrily.

"It's really embarrassing. I keep confessing to someone even though I've been rejected all the time." Harano Tsukasa came back to his senses.

"If it's true love, you shouldn't feel ashamed."

Suzumiya Saka said with an unwilling tone.

"so what?"

Harano Si asked back.

"so…"

Suzumiya Saka was stuck for a moment.

She didn't know how to answer.

It seems that no matter what you say next, the result will be the same.

only…

She didn't want this outcome.

Seeing the reflection of Harano Tsukasa with a faint smile on his face, as if he was ready to accept the reality, Suzumiya Saka felt dazed for a moment, and thought of a lot of things at once. Then, a way suddenly emerged in her mind to keep him without him giving her a way out.

But she hesitated again for a moment.

The situation remained at a stalemate.

The SKY fully transparent glass sightseeing elevator goes from the 14th floor to the 45th floor of the mall, and the whole journey takes more than ten minutes.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The elevator is very close to the station.

During this time, Suzumiya Saka lowered her head slightly, not knowing what she was thinking about, while Harano Tsukasa was staring at her face in surprise, especially when he saw the [Wish List] that was refreshed every second on the light red screen in front of him.

Just as Yuan Ye Si looked at her for a long time without saying anything, and finally looked at her deeply and turned around and got off the elevator, he suddenly felt a breeze blowing from behind him. Then, before he could turn around, his right hand hanging by his side was held softly and delicately.

He turned his head in surprise and saw Suzumiya Saka's cheeks, which were as red as if stained with red clouds.

At the same time, her voice came to my ears:
"I will temporarily recognize your status as my "reserve boyfriend" and allow you to date me once every... half a month, and we can hold hands for ten minutes."

Suzumiya Saka's voice trembled slightly. She was no longer as cold and aloof as usual, wearing high heels and looking stern. Now she was as nervous as a girl who had just started dating, and sweat was quietly oozing out of her palms.

She was indeed very nervous at the moment.

Although it was not the first time they held hands, this was the first time she took the initiative to hold Harano Tsukasa's hand. Feeling the familiar warmth of his palm, the emptiness disappeared instantly.

But my heart is beating so fast.

And my face is so hot.

There is also a special kind of excitement.

And unlike the excitement brought by the previous sense of shame and excitement, this feeling is like knowing that there will be something more to look forward to tomorrow, so it makes you excited.

really weird.

But I seem to...

I really got exposed to things I had never come across before.

Suzumiya Saka couldn't help but steal a glance at him.

After seeing the surprise in Yuanye Si's eyes, she quickly retracted her gaze, feeling extremely pleased. She didn't expect that he would show such an expression, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up.

This feeling dispelled most of the uneasiness that Suzumiya Saka had when she took the initiative to hold his hand, and it also made her movements much more relaxed, and she walked straight forward holding his hand.

It's like some shackles have been removed.

At the same time, I realized one thing in my heart.

As she is about to turn thirty, she seems to have finally grasped the tail of youth with her own hands.
