Chapter 13 chapter eight

There are many things in this world that are better not to know... I thought of what Hiiragisuke said, maybe he was persuading me not to knock on that little porcelain doll, and not to interfere in this matter.It seems that Hiiragisuke must know something, but I know that no matter how hard I press him, he won't say anything. As soon as I got home, I called Tetsuya. Zhe also showed no surprise, and remained calm.He said Hiiragisuke had told him, and asked if I had asked anyone else about it. I couldn't react for a while, but fortunately, I immediately realized that he should be asking me if I also mentioned this matter to Zhao Wu.

Because I have heard part of the truth from Tao Xiang, I don't understand why he asked such a question for a while.Zhe didn't know that we had already seen what was hidden in the little porcelain doll, and he didn't expect that I already knew the secret. I told him: "I didn't ask other people, they don't know yet!" "Yes, that's good." "But, I told Tao Xiang and knocked on the little porcelain puppet..." Feeling that he was on the other end of the phone, he gasped for a moment: "...You guys knocked on it together? Didn't she knock it on herself?"

"That's how things are. Tao Xiang still remembers that cuff button, and there is only one, right? She can't figure out why she has to give it back, so she feels very scared." "It's already been knocked on..." A murmuring voice came from the other end of the phone: "Yes... so early..." I listened to Tetsuya muttering to himself. "That little porcelain doll was originally designed to be very easy to knock open. Although it is made of materials that can withstand the temperature of the oven, it is easy to knock open. This idea must have been thought of by Hiiragisuke?"

"how do you know?" "First wrap the small porcelain doll with thin paper such as tissue paper, and then cover it with clay to shape it. When firing, after the thin paper is burned out, a small hollow is formed inside the small porcelain doll. For Xiao Hiiragi from the department, it's a small skill!" "You really can't underestimate Ayabe!" Tetsuya let out a helpless laugh: "I didn't expect you to know so much, I thought it was a secret between me and Taoxiang." "I know that a lot of things have happened to you, would you like to talk to me?"

"Yeah, Taoxiang feels very scared?" "Well, maybe she noticed something from the beginning, so she didn't dare to confirm it, so she entrusted me..." Tetsu was silent for a moment. After a while, a weak and hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone: "Ayabe, I really love Momoka." I didn't know how to respond for a while. Zhe also continued: "When I heard that Taoxiang had a new relationship and planned to get married... I was really relieved, but I was so lonely. Only then did I realize that I had been using reason to blind my feelings. I am a married man My two children are still young, and I have education expenses and mortgages to pay. I have no time or money to have an affair. Therefore, Taoxiang and I have always maintained a pure friendship, and we have a happy and pure relationship. Can't cross that last line of defense... alas."

The sigh interrupted Tetsuya's confession, I didn't urge him to continue, and waited silently for him to speak naturally. After a long silence, a deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "I don't think my decision is wrong. Taoxiang has a home, and my mood doesn't matter anymore." "Since that's the case, why did the little porcelain puppet..." "The me now is the same as Tao Xiang back then." "Are you trying to express your feelings?" "yes." "I hope to have memories that belong to the two of you, and cherish the secrets that only each other knows."

"In your eyes, we must be shameful guys who betrayed each other's family!" "I didn't think so. In fact, it can be handed over to Taoxiang directly. Why hide it in the little porcelain doll?" "Didn't I say that? That's all in the past. Taoxiang hopes to let go of her heart by giving her cufflinks, so I have no reason to tease this relationship anymore. I want to convey my heart, but I don't want her to find out." "I understand how you feel, but..." "I didn't expect Tao Xiang to knock open that little porcelain puppet so quickly."

"What's the meaning?" "I thought Tao Xiang could accept Chef Qigu's words, but I didn't expect Tao Xiang to open the small porcelain doll so soon after receiving the pie. I hoped that one day in the future, she would suddenly sense my intentions." "Who made that little porcelain doll?" "Hirasuke." "What brought Xiao Hiiragi into this?" "When Taoxiang and I were secretly in contact, I often asked Hiiragisuke for help. He is the kind of person who is always calm and always gives me appropriate advice, so only he knows the whole story."

I see.The reason why Tetsuya is so firm is because of Hiiragisuke's help.Thinking about it from another angle, it's not hard to imagine how urgently Taoxiang was marking people at that time, forcing Zheye to ask for help. Ironically, it's now completely reversed. Why is Tetsuya's heart still beating so much when he knows that the other party is about to get married?Is this what love between men and women is all about?If so, that would be too annoying. "When I found out that I had to vent this feeling, Hiiragisuke told me about this method of hiding cufflinks... He said that it's okay to have a bit of a mischievous attitude! He said that this method is like a spell, as long as you can feel comfortable. It also allows Taoxiang to keep the cufflink for the rest of her life without knowing it, so Hiiragisuke proposed to hide the cufflink in the small porcelain doll. Moreover, long before the izakaya discussed the matter of sending the king's pie, someone Know about it."

"How to say?" "You may not know it yet, but Hiiragisuke and Kiyomi..." "Dating?" "Hmm. Maybe Hirasuke was the one who proposed to send the King's party at first, and then asked Qingmei to propose it in front of everyone." Ahhh...so that's what happened! This incident clearly divided our small group into two. Momoka, Tetsuya, Hirasuke, Kiyomi were caught in the whirlpool, and Shogo, Hitoko, and I were always out of the loop. "How did you convince Chef Urushigu?" "I asked her if she could help to stuff a small porcelain doll. She is indeed a very conscientious teacher, and it is really hard to convince. She has always insisted that objects of unknown origin should not be stuffed into food, and Hirasuke and I had to deal with her desperately. ...It was only later that an agreement was reached on the condition of using the materials made by the workshop that cooperated with them. Hiiragisuke used the clay from the workshop to make a small porcelain doll in the shape of a fava bean, and then wrapped the cufflinks with tissue paper and stuffed them inside. Hand it over to the workshop for glazing and firing. After Chef Qigu got it, he stuffed it into the pie and baked it together with the other six small porcelain dolls. I ask Chef Qigu, if Taoxiang asks, it’s an extra gift Surprise, be sure to conceal the truth."

So Chef Urushigu said that the fact that the clerk forgot to attach the card may be nonsense, or it may be a real forget-anyway, no matter what you do, you will get the same result.If it was Taoxiang who called to inquire, it would not be my turn to appear suspicious after hearing Chef Changfeng's inference. "I hope Ayabe can tell Momoko for me." Tetsuya said: "The reason why I only returned one cufflink is that I hope we have common memories. No, it should be said to be a secret, and it also implies that we will always keep a distance from each other. At that time I didn't accept Taoxiang's intentions because I didn't want to hurt each other's family members. I don't think that being true to my heart is the best way of life. But everyone has a fragile side. I did such a stupid thing based on impulse. Would you please tell Tao Xiang to throw away that cuff button?" "I understand, I will definitely pass it on." Although this is not satisfactory, I think this is the best solution at the moment.As a middleman, I should do my duty to the end—it is also the duty of those who spy on other people's secrets. Zhe also thanked me. "Will you be there on the wedding day?" "Of course, I want to wish her well."
