Chapter 40 Section 40

Seeing this appearance, Jing Nai couldn't help laughing. "It's okay. I used to think that Mr. Togami, you were too caring. Wouldn't it be tiring to always think about the other person's mood?" "Really? I've only been told that I'm slow." Xing Cheng thought about it. "That means understanding women's hearts." Jing Nai patiently did not say these words. "It may be a bit ignorant to say so, it is better for the operator to be a little thicker." "Then it's no problem. Don't look at me like this, I'm quite thick-skinned. The proof is that I always find various excuses to ask you out." After speaking with a smile, he picked up the bill on the table, "Then, let's go."

"En." Replied in a low voice, Jing Nai got up and stood up. Walking out of the store, Xingcheng hailed a taxi.As usual, Shizuna got on first. "Please drive to Meguro." He said to the driver, and then got into the car. Looking at the profile of Xingcheng who was helping the driver guide the way, Jing Nai tried her best to suppress the swelling anxiety in her heart.In the future, the two of them will never be able to ride in a taxi together like this, although it is not a big deal.But the more he thought about it, the more inexplicable melancholy in his heart became thicker.

This man was the son of the murderer who killed our parents—she repeated the mantra in her head.However, she knew that the mantra was harmless, and the other whispered to her: But it has nothing to do with him, and it wasn't this person who killed him. This person is a person who sympathizes with others' pain. Xingcheng looked at Jing Nai inadvertently, his eyes widened as if startled, and he asked with a smile: "What's wrong?" "Ah, it's okay." Jing Nai regained her composure, "Are your parents at home today?" "My mother is here. However, she won't follow, don't worry too much."

"Have you ever invited women to your home?" "This is the first time. So my mother may be thinking wrong. Although I explained that this is not the relationship, I just came to visit the structure of the house." The more he said, the lower his voice. Jing Nai nodded, looking out of the window, she was startled when she saw a pickup truck similar to Taifu.However, there is a completely unfamiliar company name printed on the body. If this is really going to the lover's house, how excited and disturbed it will be.Jing Nai thought, seeing her boyfriend's mother for the first time, worried about whether she could cope with it smoothly, and nervousness was inevitable.However, her current mood is far from these.Although I was nervous, it was because I was worried about whether I could successfully complete my brother's instructions.As for his mother, everything was fine.After thinking about it, her thoughts turned to the impending parting with him, and her heart skipped a beat.

"How about studying abroad?" Xing Cheng asked. Jing Nai immediately smiled and looked at him. "I talked to my parents a few days ago. Since I have to go anyway, it is better to hurry up early." "And then?" Xingcheng's eyes were full of seriousness. "Maybe it will be over next month. The host family also let me go there earlier." "Hey... that's it. It's so sudden. But, maybe I'm right, it's better to go early than late, and you can learn more by going there earlier." Xingcheng said with a smile, his expression obviously stiffened a little.

"Honestly speaking, it's quite a rush. There's still a lot to prepare. I even signed up for an English conversation class." "It's been hard work. Please do your best!" Well, nodding her head, Shizuna's eyes drifted out of the window again. The way is paved, she thought.From tomorrow onwards, even if she receives an invitation from Xingcheng, she can still refuse it on the pretext of being busy.For the sake of others, once he was rejected once, he would definitely not contact him again.Next month, the mobile phone is also terminated.Maybe it would be better to send him a text message before then.It said: I am going to Canada now.Then, he must give up.As time goes by, if he meets other outstanding women, he probably won't even be able to remember the name of Saori Takame.

That's all right, she murmured to herself. That, Xingcheng said. "Do you know your address in Canada?" "Huh? Address?" "Well, the address of the boarding house. I'd like to write to you if I can tell you." Jing Nai was a little embarrassed.Although some men asked her the address of her overseas residence before, she never expected that Xingcheng would be so proactive. "Sorry, I don't know yet." "Then can you tell me next time?" "Well, of course." "So," he licked his lips, "can you find time to meet up before you go to Canada? I have something to say."

It's a proposal!Shizuna's sixth sense told herself.His earnest eyes sparkled a little. Well, she replied, "I see." "Great." As if he had finished something important, he leaned on his seat with a face of peace of mind. Shizuna felt her heart beating so fast that it was hard to breathe.She had realized that the man proposed marriage several times before, and she always regarded it as a part of fraud.However, this time is different.She just felt a mess in her heart. She wants to hear his proposal.However, she was not confident that after listening to his proposal, she could forget him completely.

"It's almost there." Xing Cheng said. Jing Nai looked ahead, and the taxi drove into the quiet residential area. How silly, she cursed.How could this man propose to me.Soon, he will become the son of a murderer, and it is himself who pushed him into this situation—— Looking up at Xingcheng's family, it really is a complete mansion, Jing Nai thought.Although it is impossible to estimate the overall area of ​​the house from the front, but judging from the spacious passage, it is at least 100 ping.The tiled roof gives a Japanese feel, while the red brick chimney stands above it, giving it a Western feel.

"It's the first time I saw a house with a chimney." Jing Nai said bluntly. "There is a fireplace in the living room." Xingcheng replied nonchalantly, "Of course, no one uses it now. My dad seems to like the mantelpiece very much, so he kept it during the renovation. The chimney is just an ornament." Just as Xing Cheng pressed the doorbell on the doorpost, a calm female voice answered. "Bring Miss Gao along." "Yeah," the other replied softly.From this voice alone, one can get a glimpse of her living a prosperous and leisurely life.

Go through the door and pass the path in front of the door surrounded by flowers and plants.At the end are small stone steps leading to a porch.Shizuna was taken aback by the wide entrance door. "The Germans are tall and powerful, and the door is not so wide. They seem to have no sense of security." Xingcheng pushed the door open with a smile, "Please." "I'm sorry." Saying that, Jing Nai stepped in. A petite woman stood in the hall, which was the size of an ordinary child's room.She was wearing a light purple sweater and a necklace around her neck.Although the cheeks are round, they are not fat at all.The wrinkles around the eyes are clearly visible, but the skin still feels slippery. What a beautiful face, Shizuna thought while bowing her head.In the taxi, Xingcheng heard that her name was Kimiko. "I'm Gao Feng. I interrupted you today. I'm really sorry for making such an unreasonable request." "It's nothing. It doesn't matter if you want to come a few more times. It's just that it hasn't been cleaned well, please don't mind." "What! Didn't you clean up yesterday? You're so unconfident." Kimiko glared at her joking son. "It's a foul to reveal the behind-the-scenes. In order not to let Ms. Gao see the place where I cut corners and didn't clean up, you should also pay attention. - By the way, don't talk about this, please come in. Let's have a cup of tea first. This child is very careless. I will definitely rush to take you to participate, and I won’t even sit down properly.” Gentle words spit out from Kimiko's mouth, without any hint of boredom.However, in her heart, she must have felt that she was a cheeky girl who made troublesome demands, and she should also be deeply dissatisfied with her son who couldn't refuse straight away.The fact that she didn't reveal her true inner thoughts at all made Jing Nai feel that she was not an ordinary lady.More than ten years ago——until "Hushen Pavilion" became popular, she was the proprietress of a depressed foreign food restaurant.In other words, she has long been used to entertaining guests. Taking off her shoes and walking into the house, Jing Nai remembered that she would give a greeting gift. "Well, please accept this...I think you'll like it." She handed the paper bag. "Oh, oh, don't worry so much." Kimiko accepted it with a look of embarrassment, looked inside the bag, and immediately smiled, "Oh, Xingcheng even said this—you should be a little more polite." "Isn't it good?" Xing Cheng replied with a smile. "I'm sorry, Ms. Gao. I accept it bluntly. Then, this way please." Staring at the back of Kimiko who moved towards the corridor, the word "mother-in-law" popped into Shizuna's mind.If we lived under the same roof as this woman, would we be able to live in harmony?If facing his son's wife, would his amiable expression suddenly change? Suddenly, as if remembering something, Kimiko stopped and turned around. "Ah, that's right, that's right, your father is back too." She said to Xingcheng. Shiina was taken aback.Dad naturally refers to Togami Masashiyuki. "Dad? Why?" "I don't know, it seems that there is nothing wrong in the store. Maybe he also cares a little bit. Anyway, this is the first time this kid brings a girl home." She said the last sentence to Jing Nai. "Look at the fun." Xingcheng frowned, "I'm sorry, it's okay to become like this?" "I don't care at all." "He probably just wanted to say hello." Kimiko said and continued to walk forward. Looking at the same back, Jing Nai's mood changed drastically.She scolded herself for imagining the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.Now is the time to think about these. Kimiko stopped and opened the door next to her. "Honey, the guests are here." She called into the room, then looked at Jing Nai, "Please come in." Shiina lowered her head and walked into the room.Inside was a large table surrounded by leather sofas.Masashiyuki Togami was standing by the sofa in a gray woolen jacket. "I'm Hushen. I was rude last time." "No, it's me." Jing Nai lowered her head again. When she went to the "Togami Pavilion" Hiroo store to meet Xingcheng, she happened to meet Togami Masahyuki at the elevator entrance on her way back.At that time, their father and son were just the objects of their fraud.It was that time that Taifu met Zheng Xing and insisted that he was the prisoner he witnessed on the night of the crime. Under Xingcheng's guidance, the three of Jing Nai sat on the sofa.Then, Xing Cheng also sat down beside him. "Want to study in Canada?" Zheng Xing, who was sitting across from him, asked. "Yeah." Hearing Jing Nai's answer, he nodded. "The experience of studying abroad will have an important impact on a person's life. However, one cannot always be tense. It is difficult to deal with this balance." "Dad!" Xingcheng frowned, "Don't pour cold water on him." "I didn't mean that." Zhengxing returned his gaze to Jingna, and said with a smile on his lips, "I hope you can live a meaningful study abroad life." "Thank you." Jing Nai bowed her head in thanks. Kimiko served black tea, and the aroma of vanilla permeated the air slightly.Shizuna looked at Masashiki's expression while raising her teacup.He was reaching for a cookie. This man killed our parents— Whether it is the appearance of standing steadily or the appearance of reason, it is impossible to tell that he is a murderer.But as the saying goes, people should not be judged by their appearance, and Jing Nai, who is doing fraud, has a deeper understanding of this.On the contrary, the more perfect the appearance is, the more likely there is an unimaginable side hidden inside. The nightmare of fourteen years ago seems to have revived.Afterwards, Shizuna tried her best to endure.Gong Yi explained in advance. "Even if you run into Togami Masayuki, try not to think about the case. When you think about it, you can't calm down. Even if you really want to take revenge on the spot, you have to be patient. Save the hatred for later. You just have to think about yourself It’s good to have a mission, otherwise, you will miss it.”
