Love Healing Manual

Chapter 100 Video Call
"You don't need to worry about me. I can take care of myself. How about I take a day off tomorrow at noon and come back early to take you to the airport? Otherwise, it will be quite troublesome for you to carry your luggage alone."

Lin Yuning is particular about her bed and can't sleep in unfamiliar places, especially since she has been living in Tokyo for over a decade and has only been back a handful of times. She is no longer used to her hometown.

So every time she goes back, she can't take the bed with her, but she will put the sheets and thin blankets in her suitcase so that she can be more comfortable even when staying in a hotel, otherwise she will suffer from insomnia night after night and not get a good rest.

In that case, you'll need at least two suitcases to pack the clothes.

Lin Ze felt a pang of sympathy when he thought about how she took a taxi to the airport alone and then dragged her big bags around.

"Just stay at school and be good to me. I'm not a child. It's not like you can take care of me just because you come to the airport with me."

"At least I can help you with your suitcase."

"Never mind..." Lin Yuning couldn't help but sigh, got up, and continued packing her things. She took out the power bank that she hadn't used in a long time from the drawer and put it in with her.

suddenly.

As if she had thought of something, she raised her beautiful face and gave Lin Ze a long, lingering look.

"How about this?" Lin Yuning smiled subtly and clapped her hands. "You'll come back with me? That way I won't be lonely or tired, and I'll have company on the way!"

"I refuse," Lin Ze said coldly.

"Get lost."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pillow flew over.

Lin Ze reached out and caught it, then placed it back on the bed.

He has no emotional attachment to his hometown, let alone any distant relatives. To put it bluntly, he doesn't even remember what his own father looks like, so there's no question of having any close family ties. Besides, going back to his hometown would mean meeting a bunch of strangers and dealing with all sorts of social niceties, which just thinking about it gives him a headache.

Ultimately, someone with his personality is only suited to rely on Lin Yuning. Tokyo is a strange and cold city, but it matches the underlying nature of Lin Ze's personality. Therefore, Lin Ze never thought of going back to China with Lin Yuning to visit relatives.

Many times, my aunt went back by herself.

In particular, the Lin family is a prominent clan in the area, with thick ancestral halls and family genealogies. Within such a family, kinship ties are very close, which can make one feel disoriented.

Only when you get used to it will you accept the clan culture; if you're not used to it, you'll naturally feel that even visiting relatives is a burden.

Lin Yuning never expected Lin Ze to agree. She tried asking him, but even if Lin Ze did agree, she would have to seriously consider whether it was worth delaying Lin Ze's internship for her cousin's wedding.

"Then you should just stay home and not worry about taking me to the airport tomorrow. Just focus on your internship."

"It's up to you now."

"Oh, right, I have something else to tell you," Lin Yuning suddenly said seriously, "There are almost enough pork chops in the store's refrigerated display case to last for three days. Eat as much as you can, and throw the rest in the trash if you can't finish them."

"understood."

"The pork chop is going to go to waste, I don't want it to spoil my refrigerator."

The ingredients used at "Lin's Fried Pork Chop Shop" are all of the highest quality. The pork chops are delivered by a dedicated person from pigs that have just been slaughtered. The refrigerated display cases are also expensive, storing just enough for three days at a time. Even a few hours longer would greatly diminish the tenderness of the pork chops.

Any occasional waste is basically just thrown away.

Lin Yu-ning never suggests using these ingredients to process and give back to society. She has done so before, but instead of receiving gratitude, she has caused a lot of trouble for the "fried pork chop shop".

From then on, she understood what kind of city Tokyo really was.

Lin Ze silently memorized these tasks.

Then the two of them began to pack their things in an orderly manner.

He also moved his original plan to read after dinner, since the shop was closed and dinner time would be earlier.

……

the other side.

Inside an unassuming little company in Ueno, Tokyo.

The short-haired girl and Kitagawa Ayane stood by the desk, carefully examining a black laptop.

Meanwhile, a chubby middle-aged man in an inexpensive suit stood to the side, tirelessly trying to persuade them.

"This computer was originally bought by us for office use, so there's definitely no problem with it. I wouldn't have bothered to get rid of it if the company wasn't relocating. You don't even need to check its performance; it'll last another three to five years without any issues. I'm only doing this because you two young ladies really want it..."

"Let's get something else. This one has terrible heat dissipation; my hands are sweating so much they're practically burning out," the short-haired girl said, frowning.

"Is there anything else, boss?" Kitagawa Ayane, standing to the side, was much gentler, turning her head to ask.

At the maid cafe, Kitagawa Ayane experienced a very unpleasant incident, being suppressed and threatened by the heiress of a conglomerate. However, after leaving the cafe, she still contacted her classmate, Kura Nao, and they arranged to buy a computer together.

She doesn't know much about computers and only uses them for free at school, so Nao helps her check them out.

Even the most good-natured person wouldn't feel good after being hit with such a blow by a young lady they don't know.

When Kitagawa Ayane walked out of the coffee shop, she had already decided to turn her grief into motivation and work even harder from then on.

Doing meaningless things will definitely make you look down on... When Suzuo Miyagi attacked her for "working in the service industry and trying to please others," she felt sad for a moment, and the bitterness she felt upon reflection was even more intense.

Kitagawa Ayane truly felt her dignity.

"Yes, we do have some, but I don't think we need to choose anything else. This is enough to meet your described needs." The boss seemed somewhat reluctant.

"Stop talking nonsense, are you going to sell or not? If not, we'll find another buyer!" Nao Kuraki glared at him; her personality was just like her neat short hair.

"Okay, okay, I'll go get them for you. There's no point in choosing between the same computers..."

The boss grumbled and had no choice but to get up and go to another office to get it.

Watching his departing figure.

Nao Kuraki crossed her arms with disdain and snorted coldly.

"Trying to cheat me with a defective product, this person is really heartless."

"Nao-kun is knowledgeable about computers and has been a great help to me. Thank you so much this time. Now that I have a computer, I can start learning how to use those software programs proficiently, right?"

"I don't really know much about it either. I just learned my lesson after getting scammed a few times. I gained experience from my failures... By the way, I'll forward you a video of the complete software course after you get your computer back. You can study it on your own then. The course is very detailed."

"understood."

"I also learned on my own before. At first, I thought it was quite difficult, but after calming down, I found that it was not that difficult. You can ask me if you have any questions later."

Nao Kuraki's attitude towards Ayane Kitagawa was quite good.

The two didn't have any grudges against each other. Besides, Nao has always been a cheerful and talkative person; otherwise, she wouldn't be the most popular person in the department. She can even talk a lot with Kitagawa Ayane.

As they talked, the two of them started talking about Kaoru Murayama.

"I haven't seen Xiao Xun lately. Did she take some time off?"

"Yes, there were some unavoidable personal matters, but I dealt with them for a while and then went back to school."

"Is she still the same as when we first met? Has she not changed at all?" Nao Kuraki hesitated for a moment before asking tentatively.

"Yes, Xiao Xun hasn't changed at all."

"Is she talking badly about me behind my back? Has she ever insulted me?"

"No, we don't have any." Kitagawa Ayane was taken aback by the question and quickly waved her hand.

"OK then."

Actually, it's not easy to discern the hatred in Kura Nao's words. Logically, since the two had a terrible falling out back then, she should be able to treat the past as a scar. However, Kura Nao's attitude when asking questions was rather cautious.

They were talking over there.

The boss came in from another office carrying a laptop.

"Let me make this clear first, this one will be more expensive. I can't sell it to you for the same price."

"Let's try it first and see. We won't buy it if we're not satisfied with the quality."

The computer they brought had a larger screen than the other one. After plugging it in, Nao Kuraki tried it out and found that it was indeed much smoother than the other one when running the software. After she had used it for a while, she let Ayane Kitagawa try it out.

Second-hand computers are definitely not in the best condition, after all, it has been used for more than a year. Nao Kura started to bargain with the owner about this condition issue.

……

Inside the Miyagi family mansion.

dinner time.

It was still just the mother and daughter dining together. Miyagi and Suzuo sat quietly at the table, the soft light shining on them.

Miyagi Suzuo skillfully wielded her knife and fork, the silver glint occasionally flashing. She parted her rosy lips slightly to put the beef into her mouth, chewing with elegant and leisurely movements.

Looking at her like this, it's really hard to believe that the aloof girl who was so irritable and grabbed Kitagawa-senpai's collar in the maid shop is actually her.

Women are indeed different concepts in static and dynamic states.

Rather than saying that she went to Kitagawa Ayane to threaten her into leaving Linze, it would be more accurate to say that she wanted to vent her unresolved frustration.

In fact, Miyagi Suzuo was fearless.

Seeing Kitagawa Ayane with Lin Ze made her feel annoyed, but deep down she wasn't afraid of losing her beloved completely. She simply didn't believe that three months could be worth three years of affection.

Because Lin Ze is not that kind of person.

Amnesia has led to this situation, which is unavoidable. The anger she has suffered is only temporary. Once the agreed time with Lin Ze arrives, she will have all the initiative in her hands.

She said such awful things in the coffee shop.

But there is one thing that is really reminding Kitagawa Ayane.

The deeper they get involved, the worse it is for Lin Ze and his senior.

Lost in fleeting happiness, she never knew that one day it would all end. When Lin Ze forgot about Kitagawa-senpai, she would taste the same bitterness that Miyagi Suzuo had felt.

She hadn't planned to warn him at first, but it was only after he showed his true feelings for Lin Ze that Lingxu changed her mind.

Setting down her knife and fork, Miyagi Suzuo wiped her mouth.

"I've finished eating and it's time to go back to my room to study. Chizuru told me there's a discussion tonight."

“Go ahead,” Miyagi said gently.

After a while.

Miyagi Suzuo returned to her room. Instead of sitting down at her desk, she looked at herself in front of the dressing mirror for a while, occasionally fixing her hair and straightening her collar.

Her white dress was embroidered with delicate flowers and adorned with lustrous pearls at the collar, revealing exquisite design in every detail, while her long chestnut hair cascading over her shoulders accentuated her gentleness.

She looked forward to the group's video call later and waited patiently.

hum-

buzz-

With two vibrations from her phone, Miyagi Suzuo quickly sat up straight, displaying a gentle and charming demeanor, and extended her fair fingers to press the call answer button.

on the screen.

First, the scene of Chizuru Sano loads. Only half of her face is visible. It pauses for a moment before loading, and she waves at Suzuo Miyagi.

"Do I make a sound when I speak, Suzuo?"

"some."

Then, another black screen appeared, showing Lin Ze's face. He looked down at the camera slightly, his handsome features still exuding a striking presence.

"Lin Ze, I see you." Miyagi Suzuo's cheeks flushed slightly as she quickly waved her hand.

However, a moment later she suddenly realized that her action was silly, so she quickly moved her figure out of the frame and patted her cheeks.

Calm down...

Ultimately, she couldn't help herself and lost her composure the moment she saw Lin Ze.

My heart was pounding in my chest.

An indescribable sweetness.

"Alright, here's today's assignment. Since Miyagi Suzuo isn't here, I'll explain it in advance," Lin Ze said, picking up a piece of paper in the video. "It's a group discussion assignment. The topic isn't complicated, and you have one hour."

“Hai…” Miyagi Suzuo nodded gently, her eyes filled with Lin Ze.
