Tokyo: The life of a literary giant begins with home self-defense!

Chapter 406 Childhood Sweethearts

The weather in July is already so hot that you get hot with the slightest movement.

The fresh fish in the pool slapped their bodies, and the ingredients in the rice cooker bubbled and steamed.

Longchuan Che didn't know what ingredients the other party had prepared for lunch, but he hoped it wasn't him.

"Aunt Yangxue, I didn't mean to hide it from you."

Longchuan Che forced an awkward smile.

Even if a guy is a scumbag, he still lies to the other person's parents, so the other person's first impression of him must be extremely bad.

"Oh, I don't care about that kind of thing."

The woman covered her mouth and laughed, but Long Chuanche looked at the knife in the other person's hand and showed no intention of putting it down.

The knife is a very common cleaver, about the width of a hand, with a sharp edge.

'Suitable for chopping vegetables, and also for butchering chicken, slicing meat, and slicing its neck.'

Longchuan Che was startled by his own sudden thought.

"Oh dear, what's wrong with you, child?"

Longchuan Che was sweating profusely, and Songzhi Yangxue handed him two tissues.

Ryukawa Tetsu reached out and took the white tissue, asking somewhat awkwardly.

"What can I do for you, Auntie?"

Long Chuanche didn't ask how the other person recognized him. He was very famous now, and anyone who paid a little attention could recognize Long Chuanche's appearance.

It was only a matter of time before the other party's parents found out; it was just that Long Chuanche didn't expect it to happen so soon.

"Could you please help me prepare the ingredients for lunch?"

Matsueda Yosetsu didn't use the knife on Ryukawa Tetsu; instead, she smiled and pointed to the fresh fish and vegetables in the basin.

"of course can!"

The girl's mother seemed fairly easy to talk to, and Long Chuan Che pulled at his non-existent sleeve and began to get busy.

Clear water washed away the dirt from the tender vegetable leaves, and the cool water flowed over Longchuan Che's fingertips.

Outside, it was summer, and cicadas were chirping. Matsue Yosetsu was processing fresh fish behind Ryukawa Tetsu, her movements sounding very skilled.

"To be honest, I've wanted to meet you for a long time."

The woman's movements made a pleasant tapping sound on the cutting board. Long Chuanche heard her say:

"I am grateful for your care when Mu Zi was a child."

For a mother to say something like "thank you for your care" indicates that Tatsuki Tatsumi did indeed behave quite well as a child.

Take Muzi out to play and take care of the little girl who is afraid of the dark.

"I originally thought Che-kun was a good person."

The girl's mother suddenly said something that made Long Chuanche, who was washing vegetables, smile wryly.

He doesn't qualify as a good person in any way, especially compared to Mu Zi, who has never done anything to wrong him.

The girl is well-behaved and pretty, yet not willful.

In a way, Longchuan Che got a great deal half a year ago.

"Say whatever you want, even if you kick me out, it's fine."

Long Chuanche continued washing the vegetables quietly; his attitude towards Mu Zi remained unchanged no matter what he did.

You meet someone, make some mistakes, want to change them, but find that there's no way to turn things around.

Long Chuanche felt that he hadn't reached the point of being powerless to reverse the situation.

"So manly?"

Matsueda Yoyuki was somewhat surprised, looking at Ryukawa Tetsu with an expression that said, "Even a mere scumbag like you has too much courage."

"never mind."

Matsueda Yoyuki stared at Ryukawa Tetsu for two or three seconds and then said:
"Neither I nor his father will interfere in your relationship with Mu Zi."

Long Chuan Che blinked, seemingly in disbelief.

"Does 'not care' mean?"

"literal meaning."

Matsueda Yosetsu smiled at Ryukawa Tetsu.

"It's okay if you want to get back together with Mu Zi, want to date her, or want to make amends!"

The woman raised the kitchen knife in her hand, making a gesture that seemed to say, "Show your courage, young man!"

"Go for it!"

Even if you say that…

The gleaming kitchen knife was almost blinding, and Long Chuanche felt as if the world was a giant absurd drama.

"Can I ask why?"

You bullied someone's daughter and then went to their house to lie. Not only were they not angry, they even said, "Go ahead and do it, young man!"

Long Chuanche felt that either he was dreaming, or there was an even bigger trap waiting for him ahead.

For example, a midnight murder and dismemberment scene?

Long Chuanche glanced at the well-cut slices of meat and swallowed imperceptibly.

Why do you want to know?

Songzhi Muzi's mother held the knife to her chin, making a thoughtful expression.

"It's probably a woman's intuition, Che-kun."

What are unreliable reasons for a woman's intuition?
Before Longchuan Che could even complain, he heard the other person continue.

"Have you and Mu Zi been dating for a long time?"

203 days and 7 hours?

The topic jumped a bit too quickly, and after thinking for a moment, Longchuan Che said a number.

He and Matsuko started dating before Christmas last year, and after they broke up in Europe, their relationship remained at this number.

"You remember it so clearly?"

Matsueda Yosetsu was somewhat surprised that Ryukawa Tetsu's numbers included both whole and fractional parts.

"Of course, my memory is absolutely unparalleled."

"Has an exceptionally poor memory, unable to recall what I looked like as a child?"

Mu Zi's mother was a bit cunning; after teasing Long Chuanche, she continued:

"I've never done anything to bully Mu Zi in all the time we've been dating."

The woman winked at Long Chuanche.

"Chejun might be more reliable than most people think."

The bullying here was clearly different from normal bullying, and Long Chuanche gasped.

"Mu Zi even told you this?"

Okay, although I'm very reluctant to admit it, Tatsuki Tatsumi and Matsue Moko did not have a real romantic relationship.

The most outrageous thing the two did was to smear massage oil all over the sofa and squeeze each other's bodies.

This seemed to become the key to the other party's mother accepting him, and Long Chuanche listened as the other party continued:

"Of course, the most important thing is that Mu Zi can't forget you."

The woman chopped vegetables and sighed.

"When she was little, her family's dog died, and she was heartbroken for a long time."

Although it felt strange to compare himself to a puppy, the woman in front of him was willing to accept him and help him in the process.

"last question."

Although things were progressing smoothly, Tatsukawa Tetsu felt something was off.

"How did Mu Zi tell you about our breakup?"

Tatsukawa Tetsu asked one last question and inquired if he could take Muko to see the Kawaguchiko Summer Festival that evening.

“Summer festival is no problem, of course.”

Ms. Yang Xue said she supports all activities for young people, and then looked at Long Chuan Che with a puzzled expression.

"Reason for the breakup?"

The woman chopped off the fish head with a snap.

"Wasn't it because Chejun became rich that he chose to abandon Muzi? But now that you're willing to come back to find Muzi, I think we should give you another chance."

The woman kept chattering away, and Long Chuanche revealed a...

Great! I feel saved!

"There's one more question!"

Longchuan Che pinched the woman's chin.

"If, I mean if..."

The boy's gaze was serious.

"If it's because of the splitting..."

Before Tatsukawa Tetsu could finish saying the word "leg," Matsueda Yosetsu's knife slammed down on the cutting board.

The chilling glint in the light sent shivers down one's spine.

Mrs. Matsue smiled at Tatsukawa Toru.

"What did you say?"

Forgiving cheating was indeed too much of a stretch; Longchuan Che was glad that Muzi had also lied.
