After my divorce, I became a Tokyo literary giant

Chapter 24: A Man of Learning and Poetry

The bright and dazzling sunlight fell on the lawn, pond and flower beds in the yard.

The scorching summer sun heated the grass, the pond water, and the petals in the flower beds.

Ryoko sat in the shade of a tree, with "Remembrance of Things Past" open on her knees, reading with fascination.

The sunlight shone through the leaves onto the paper, stinging her eyes. After looking for a while, she looked away and stared at the flower bed in a trance.

At the end of July, tulips, sweet peas, anemones, and poppies compete for beauty in the flower beds.

The weather was very hot, and the petals, exposed to the sun, gave off a sweet, rotten smell.

Ryoko sniffed gently.

She liked the decadent sweet taste.

"What are you thinking about?" Yukiho Yonekura walked out of the house.

“When time passes and everything disappears, only the scent lingers in the air, making the past vivid in our memory.”

Ryoko spoke with great emotion, but her voice was cold and no emotion could be heard.

She has clear and beautiful eyes and thin lips that give people a cold feeling. She looks like an ascetic and cold stone woman from the inside out.

"You just got divorced and you're already missing me?" asked Yukiho Yonekura with a smile.

"He doesn't like this smell." Ryoko stroked her hair gently, her eyes still clear.

"That's indeed a bit serious." Yonekura Yukiho nodded seriously, and after a moment, she continued, "But no matter what, not liking the same taste can't cover up its other advantages."

Ryoko frowned slightly, with a thoughtful expression.

She has a beautiful face like a court doll, with perfectly matched facial features and small and lively lips.

The slightly furrowed brows made her look very pitiful.

After thinking for a long time, Ryoko just smiled, her smile calm and indifferent.

She has been very smart, independent-minded and has her own personality since she was a child. She doesn't want to waste too much energy on a relationship that has ended.

In the heat wave, she looked up at the sky.

The slender white neck has the beauty of a young girl.

At this time, the Saionji family was on the verge of bankruptcy. Having grown up in a privileged environment, she realized that she could no longer live as freely as before.

The little girl who could hold on to love for eight years is now about to start moving forward independently.

Perhaps one day decades later, when she once again smells the decadent scent of the petals after being exposed to the sun, she will think of the boy she loved for eight years when she was a girl.

By then, she would surely just laugh it off.

"I don't understand you literary young women." Yonekura Yukiho complained with a smile.

Unlike Ryoko, whose family has fallen into poverty and who has to bear the pressure of survival, she comes from a wealthy family, is loved by her parents, is more easily satisfied, and likes stability, sweetness and romance.

...If her junior were her husband, she would definitely be very satisfied.

"Are you going out?" Ryoko looked over here.

"I have an appointment." Yukiho Yonekura felt a little nervous subconsciously.

Although they said they were going to relax with Tazaki Saku, going to a place like an amusement park together as a man and a woman was actually a date.

It's really hard to talk about going on a date with my best friend's ex-husband.

Of course, Ryoko didn't know who she was meeting, so she made a teasing expression: "No wonder you dressed so beautifully, it turns out you're going on a date."

"No, we're just ordinary friends..." Yonekura Yukiho looked away, her cheeks feeling slightly hot.

Both she and Ryoko have the character of ice beauty, but she is not as cold as Ryoko, and is relatively easy to blush and get her heart racing.

"You're so stupid, be careful not to get cheated." Ryoko smiled, stood up and stretched, "I also need to change clothes and go out. Sakurako asked me to have an important meeting, so I have to dress more formally."

"Which Sakura?"

"The Kujo family, they're from the same class as me. You should have seen them."

"Oh, the eldest daughter of the Kujo family. I remember her." Yonekura Yukiho remembered the vague figure.

"She started a film and television company a while ago, and it's in its early stages. She gave me some equity and invited me to start a business together," Ryoko said as she walked into the house. "It's time for me to do some serious work. A career-oriented strong woman? Hmm, I quite like this new image..."

Miss Sakurako of the Kujo family seems to be a woman with a bad personality and a strong desire for control...

Is it okay to start a company with a woman like this?

Yukiho Yonekura didn't have time to think carefully because Saku Tazaki called.

"Hello? Senior, I'm near your house." "Oh, just go into the garage on the left side of the gate. I'll wait for you here."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Tazaki Saku continued walking uphill.

On both sides of the slope are staggered walls, surrounding villas of different styles. Most of the people living here are upper class.

In this kind of high-end residential area, the price of each villa is as high as ten figures.

If you are born to live, you can live.

If you can't live here in your birthplace, you probably won't be able to live here in this lifetime.

Tazaki Saku walked to the top of the hill and saw that the gate of the villa with the nameplate "Yonekura" was open, so he walked straight in.

The sun was shining brightly in the morning, the grass was hot from the sun, and Haydn's Piano Sonata in G minor could be heard faintly in my ears, creating an extremely evocative atmosphere.

There is a pool in the yard, and the water is sparkling.

The flower beds were vying for beauty, butterflies were flying among the colorful blossoms, and the petals were roasted so that they gave off the smell of rotting fruit.

Tazaki Saku slowed his breathing.

...He never liked this decadent taste.

"As a man, you drive today." Yukiho Yonekura walked out of the house and threw the car keys over.

Tazaki Saku took the car keys and his eyes stayed on her for a moment.

She was wearing a long-sleeved white shirt and a blue high-waisted skirt.

Her face is stern and beautiful, her lips are small and rosy, and her temperament is cool and outstanding.

Her simple and fashionable outfit and carefully crafted makeup give her a mature and mature charm. Her slender waist and well-proportioned figure are impeccable.

"It seems today is my lucky day." Tazaki Saku smiled.

"Whether it's lucky or not, we'll have to wait until today is over to tell." Yonekura Yukiho said in a cold voice.

She is a quiet and aloof queen. Since she started college, she has maintained a serious and responsible lifestyle with very little socializing. People around her have given her the impression that she is an iceberg talent who doesn't care about interpersonal relationships.

Her background and her talent give her the capital to refuse socializing.

But in order to prepare for today's date, she put on makeup for the first time, and even embellished her cherry pink lips with lipstick, giving her a pure and sexy style of a young mature woman.

She is stunning at first sight and looks better than all the cover girls of fashion magazines.

Tazaki Saku took the key and walked towards the garage.

Yukiho Yonekura's car is a red Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe.

Weak power and small space.

The price is still expensive.

It has a lot of shortcomings, but its advantage is that it looks good and is very suitable for the needs of urban beauties when buying a car.

"It's getting late, let's go quickly." After sitting in the passenger seat, Yukiho Yonekura couldn't wait to urge Saku Tazaki to drive.

The main reason was that she was afraid of being run into by her best friend who might go out at any time. Just thinking about that scene made her so embarrassed that she almost dug through the soles of her shoes with her toes.

The red coupe started and slowly drove out of the gate.

A breeze blew in from the car window, ruffling the inky hair.

Yukiho Yonekura tucked her hair behind her ears and looked out the window, her exposed white neck looking very attractive.

After a moment, she took out a pair of glasses and put them on.

Seeing Tazaki Saku looking at her, she explained in a low voice, "I'm a little nearsighted. If I don't wear glasses when I go out to crowded places, I'm afraid I won't be able to recognize people."

"Senior sister is usually very beautiful. With glasses on, she has an even more elegant and refined charm. She is indeed a talented girl who grew up in an educated family." Tazaki Saku praised.

Being praised, Yonekura Yukiho said calmly, "I'm just lucky. People like you who work hard step by step on their own are more attractive."

Although I didn't show any reaction when I was praised, I was still a little happy in my heart...

Tazaki Saku secretly observed her expression, thinking that it would be a difficult task to make her heart beat twice more.
