Ke Xue Bartender

Chapter 198 Don't Talk, Kiss Me
"father!"

Just as Matsumoto Kiyonaga was about to throw his fist, a scream suddenly came from the door of the bar.

The person who appeared at the door was Sayuri Matsumoto.

On the wedding night, her husband disappeared and her father went out in anger to look for him. She was worried, so she went out as well.

She remembered that Lin Ye had given her husband a business card during the day, and she intuitively thought that her husband might come here, so she came to check.

As she arrived outside the bar, she saw her father's car parked on the side of the road, then she went to the door and heard an argument coming from inside the store.

It was not until Matsumoto Kiyonaga was about to hit someone that she pushed open the door and stopped him.

"Sayuri? Why are you here? You asked me to beat this beast to death."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga grabbed Takasugi Toshihiko's collar with one hand and raised his other hand with a fist that was shaking constantly, showing his anger.

"No."

Sayuri Matsumoto ran to her father and grabbed his raised right arm with both hands.

"Do you know? This bastard is going to kill you!"

Sayuri Matsumoto nodded with tears in her eyes: "I know, I know everything."

"what?"

Matsumoto Kiyonaga's shoulders shook, as if he had thought of something.

[Sayuri clearly knew the man's purpose in approaching her, but she still agreed to marry him. Is she planning to sacrifice herself to atone for my sins? ]

Thinking of this, he seemed to suddenly lose all his strength, sighed heavily, and let go of his hand.

Toshihiko Takasugi fell back into the chair and almost fell down, but was supported by Sayuri Matsumoto.

"Junyan, you've had too much to drink, shall we go home?"

Takasugi Toshihiko seemed to have suddenly sobered up and said without any sign of drunkenness:
"Sayuri, now that you know everything, just stop bothering me. I approached you in the beginning just to use you to take revenge on your father."

Sayuri Matsumoto hugged his neck tightly and said nothing.

But Takasugi Toshihiko felt warm liquid dripping on his face.

His heart trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"I poisoned your drink today. If Mr. Lin hadn't knocked over the drink, you would have been poisoned to death. Even so, do you still plan to live with me? I might poison your drink again one day!"

"I know, I saw it..." Sayuri Matsumoto murmured.

Takasugi Toshihiko was stunned.

"What? Then why did you—"

He suddenly remembered the kiss in the dressing room during the day, the bold and passionate kiss given to him by Sayuri just after he poisoned the drink.

It turned out that she had discovered it a long time ago.

He suddenly understood the meaning of that kiss.

That was her last tenderness, her last kiss. She was ready to die at that time, and wanted to use her sacrifice to make him forgive his father.

"Sayuri, are you..."

Takasugi Toshihiko opened his eyes wide.

Sayuri Matsumoto kissed him again, kissing him madly, with hot tears flowing from the corners of her eyes.

He also shed tears, and their tears mixed together in each other's mouths, warm and bitter, like a cup of hot lemon tea.

The two of them had the same thoughts at this moment.

Takasugi Toshihiko's anger and helplessness, pain and regret, and Matsumoto Sayuri's love and tenderness all converge together.

Just like hot tea melting the black ice, Lin Ye seemed to see wisps of black mist rising above Takasugi Toshihiko's head.

The ice of resentment that had accumulated in his heart for twenty years finally began to melt.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga stood aside, staring blankly at the two people kissing passionately.

After a long sigh, he slumped down on the nearest chair.

Lin Ye took in the reactions of the three people, and suddenly a different scene appeared before his eyes.

On the sunny grass, Sayuri Matsumoto is holding a baby in her arms with a happy smile on her face.

Next to her was Takasugi Toshihiko, who was wearing formal attire, and his eyes were full of tenderness as he looked at his wife and children.

Behind the two of them was Matsumoto Kiyonaga, who had a dark face. Although his eyes were not friendly when he looked at his son-in-law, his eyes became gentle in an instant when he looked at the baby in his daughter's arms.

The beautiful scene was frozen into a photo and fell into the photo frame.

"Atou, what do you think?"

When only Lin Ye and Amuro Toru were left in the store, Lin Ye asked.

"What does the store manager mean?"

"If you were a policeman..." Lin Ye said.

Toru Amuro looked calm, but he was shocked in his heart.

"...When you are chasing a criminal and you meet someone who needs help, what will you do?" Lin Ye continued.

Just as Amuro Toru was about to answer, Lin Ye added:

"If I choose to save the people, the vicious criminal will escape and he may kill more people. If I choose to continue chasing the criminal, the injured people will die. What should I choose?"

Amuro Toru thought about it again and replied: "I would still choose to save people first."

"An escaped prisoner can be hunted down again, but a person only has one life."

[If it were them, they would make the same choice...]

they?

Lin Ye glanced at Amuro Toru and saw several men's faces in his mind.

It seems that Atuo also has an unspeakable past.

"Atou, would you like a drink?"

"May I?"

"Anyway, no more customers will come." Lin Ye looked at the time. It was almost one o'clock in the morning.

"Okay then, thank you, Manager."

"What to drink?"

"Scotch."

The next day, Lin Ye went out for a run as usual.

Just as he was immersed in the wonderful state of running, a voice came from behind him.

"Boy, boy, wait a minute!"

He stopped, looked back, and saw a bald old man in a white robe running towards him, panting.

It's Dr. Agasa.

Before he knew it, he had come to Beika-cho No. 2 Street again.

The last time he passed by here, he rescued Dr. Agasa who had an accident in his experiment.

"Old man, what's the matter?" he asked as if they were meeting for the first time.

Dr. Agasa stopped in front of him, held his knees and took a few breaths, thinking that this young man ran really fast. He saw him appear on the street from upstairs, and in the time it took him to go downstairs and out the door, he was almost at the end of the street.

But luckily I made it in time.

"You are the young man who saved me last time, right? Thank you so much for that."

On the day when the experiment went wrong, Dr. Agasa saw Lin Ye walking towards him before he fainted. Combined with the description of the medical staff, he knew who saved him.

It’s just that Lin Ye made the call from a public telephone booth that day and did not leave his name and address, so Dr. Agasa could only look out the window from upstairs every day, hoping that the young man who helped him would appear again so that he could express his gratitude in person.

Today he finally got what he was waiting for.

Lin Ye smiled and said, "You're welcome. It's just a small favor."

"Young man, please come to my house and have a seat. Let me at least buy you a cup of coffee to show my gratitude." Dr. Agasa invited warmly.

Lin Ye had almost finished running and had been planning to stop at a coffee shop on the next street to have a drink and rest, so he accepted Dr. Agasa's invitation and went to the home of this eccentric inventor.
