Tokyo, My Childhood Friend is a Ghost Story

Chapter 60 My birthday is today.

In the bedroom, Xiao Fujiang sat on the desk, holding the thumb-sized book that Uta Kasyapa had spent a lot of time and effort to collect.

Looking at Fu Jiang, who had just finished catching up on her sleep, she still exuded a strong, eerie beauty unlike ordinary people.

How does it feel to finally achieve something you've been pursuing for years?

Fu Jiang stretched lazily and said in a languid tone.

"It's nothing special, nothing to be too happy about, nothing to be too excited about."

"Heh, to use Kasyapa's words, you're being extremely pretentious right now, hmm, that's the word!"

Xiao Fujiang instinctively retorted to Fujiang, then closed the thumb book and calmly looked at Fujiang.

"Get rid of me before Kasyapa returns and replace me with a new one."

When Xiao Fujiang asked to speak, Fujiang remained silent.

Instead, he got up and went to the table, picked up the photo that Uta Kasaya had printed out that morning: a charming girl with her legs slightly crossed and her body leaning forward under a cherry blossom tree.

“You were saved by Kasyapa. Your life is not in my hands. You should ask him whether you live or die.”

Xiao Fujiang was taken aback upon hearing this, and couldn't help but recall the night when Uta Kasyapa endured excruciating pain to rescue her from the furnace.

Looking back at the small villa that Jia Ye had specially customized for her, and the thumb-sized book in her hand, a warm feeling welled up in Xiao Fujiang's heart.

Yes, I was saved by that idiot. I don't belong to Fujang. I belong to Kasyapa, and I will only ever be Kasyapa!

"Aren't you touched? Should you thank me?"

With a half-smile on her face, Fu Jiang rolled her eyes.

"roll!"

I was indeed somewhat moved, but not much, really not much!

At school, Uta Kasyapa walked out of the teaching building after finishing his morning classes.

Not far ahead, Jia Yezi, dressed in a black dress and with her hair tied in a ponytail, was sitting quietly by the flower bed.

Changing her usual disheveled look, Jia Yezi boldly revealed her delicate face with her head slightly lowered.

Even now, she is still very uncomfortable with the subtle glances from those around her, but Kasyapa-kun likes her this way, saying it looks good.

So, even though she was very uncomfortable with it and even resisted it, Jia Yezi still obediently changed into this outfit.

"Hi classmate, are you alone?"

The sudden approach startled Jia Yezi for a moment. Without thinking, she immediately shook her head vigorously.

"I'm here. I'm waiting for someone!"

As if cheering herself up, Jia Yezi spoke earnestly and seriously to the male college student who was trying to chat her up.

Seeing this, the male college student knew it was just an excuse. Looking at her budding beauty, he felt even more attracted to her.

However, just as he was about to continue his entanglement, Uta Kasyapa appeared behind him.

"Jia Yezi, thank you for waiting."

"Kasyapa-kun~"

Looking at the sparkling joy in Jia Yezi's eyes, the male college student glanced at Uta Kayo who had arrived and the alluring Jia Yezi beside him.

"This student's luck is truly enviable."

Looking at Uta Kasyapa beside her, Kayokawa pursed her lips and blinked.

Does "enviable" refer to me?
Thinking of this, Jia Yezi blushed and lowered her head, not daring to speak.

Actually, this guy isn't that bad.
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have wished you an accident in my heart just now.
Utakayo simply smiled at the boy's sentiments and then sat down next to Kayanoko.

"How long have you been waiting?"

"No, not long ago, I just arrived."

In his still weak and timid reply, Uta Kasyapa nodded gently.

"Let's go eat, we have class this afternoon."

"Okay~" Walking on the road, Jia Yezi, who was half a step behind, kept looking at Uta Kasyapa in front of her, and nervously clasped her hands together.

"Kasyapa-kun"

"Ok?"

Uta Kassapa turned around upon hearing the sound, looking at Kayanokoji with a puzzled expression.

"Please, please accept this!"

Uta Kassapa was taken aback when he saw the envelope that Kayanoko had taken out from somewhere and bowed as she handed it to him.

love letter?

No, Jia Yezi probably wouldn't dare to do that, and the thickness wouldn't match.

"This is."

"My part-time salary... although it's very little, I still want to give it to Kasyapa-kun."

"I... I'm not as rich as Fujang, all I have is this much money."

Seeing that Jia Yezi's voice was getting softer and softer as she spoke, and that she was afraid of being disliked and was about to cry, Uta Kasaya quickly stepped forward to help her up and said with a smile.

Why did you think of giving it to me?

Lowering her eyes to meet Uta Kassapa's gentle smile for a moment, Kayokawa, unusually, turned her head away without any shyness.

"Because...Kashyapa-kun gave me food, bought me clothes, found me a job, and protected me from being bullied. Also because..."

Because of me, I have a deep affection for Kasyapa-kun.
I like him so much, to the point that I'd do anything for Kasyapa-kun.
Uta Kassapa watched as Kayanoko's voice grew softer and softer, and then reached out and patted her head as if she were a black cat.

"Okay, consider it your living expenses."

As she watched Uta Kasyapa take the envelope, Kayanoko's face lit up with a happy expression.

Continuing towards the cafeteria, Jia Yezi lagged half a step behind Utakayo, her gaze occasionally drifting to his empty left hand.

I long to be held by Kasyapa-kun's hand.
Jia Yezi looked at his empty palm, took several deep breaths, and kept encouraging herself.

Jia Yezi, you must seize the opportunity.
Don't be afraid. You have to let Kasyapa-kun know that you like him. You like him even more than Fukie-kun likes him!
After repeatedly encouraging herself, Jia Yezi reached out her sweaty hand and gently grasped Uta Kasyapa's hand.

Out of fear and worry, Jia Yezi only dared to gently grasp two of Utakayo's fingers.

In this way, even if Kasyapa-kun doesn't like being held, he can easily shake him off with a gentle flick.
Feeling the sensation from her fingertips, Jia Yezi's palm was slightly damp with sweat, and she only dared to lightly grasp two of her fingers.

He watched as she avoided his gaze, unable to meet his eyes, and her lips were unconsciously pursed tightly due to nervousness.

"Thank you, Jia Yezi."

He took her hand and squeezed it, and seeing the genuine, undisguised joy in Jia Yezi's eyes, Uta Kasaya smiled too.

In the afternoon, after delivering Jia Yezi to the bookstore where she worked part-time, and saying goodbye to Yoshimura Hanako, who was still quietly reading in a corner, Uta Kayo returned home.

On the sofa, Fu Jiang, who had changed into jeans and a navy blue lace short-sleeved shirt, sat back, listening to music and flipping through comics.

"I brought you watermelon juice and red bean daifuku."

Fujang looked at the desserts and drinks quietly arranged on the coffee table, then glanced at Utada Kasyapa's obviously listless spirit, and spoke softly.

"Go take a nap, I'll wake you up for breakfast later."

Uta Kasyapa smiled upon hearing this and sat down next to her.

"It's so late, why are you still sleeping? Just hold on and sleep until dawn, wouldn't that be better?"

"Whatever you like, go buy a cake then."

"?"

"Why? Isn't your birthday in October?"

Fukie didn't answer immediately. Instead, she put down her comic book, leaned over, and kissed Uta Kasyapa.

"From now on, today will be my birthday."
