Kyoto: I just want to be a gentleman

[Reminder: Urban strong women with a lot on their mind may need a stranger to listen to them at this moment~]

Xiu Xing looked at the reminder column carefully, thought about it, and took the initiative to speak.

"Sister, why didn't you come out for a run a few days ago? Did something happen to you?"

Xiuxing did not add the other person's name or surname, which could quickly bring the two people closer together without destroying the atmosphere of the chat.

"The company is busy with a project, and it reached the most tense stage a few days ago." Saki Sugita thought for a moment and replied.

"Oh, I see." Xiu Xing nodded as a courtesy, and then he asked tentatively: "So, your sister's project was successfully completed?"

"Well, it's over now." Saki Sugita breathed a sigh of relief, her tone revealing a hint of relief and satisfaction.

"But how did you know that?" Sugita Saki asked.

Xiu Xing smiled and explained, "It seems that Sister is much happier today than usual, and she seems to be running more easily than before."

"I think it's because the project was successfully completed, and the pressure in my heart was relieved a lot."

After hearing Hideyuki's explanation, Sugita Saki couldn't help but smile.

Then, as if she remembered something, she sighed again and said with a slightly complicated expression: "Although the project is completed this time, there are still many follow-up work that needs to be arranged."

"The company has encountered some problems recently and is short of a lot of manpower..."

"The female artist I contacted this time, although she has signed a contract, is not someone who is easy to get along with. She obviously has no talent, but she is a big name..."

Sugita Saki grumbled in dissatisfaction, and then suddenly shouted loudly: "When will these annoying days end?"

After shouting loudly, Saki Sugita seemed to release some of the pressure in her heart. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

The gentle breeze blew across her cheeks, bringing a slight coolness and calming her mood a little.

Xiuxing just sat quietly beside her, saying nothing and doing nothing.

After a while, Sugita Saki slowly opened her eyes and said to Hideyuki who was standing quietly beside her: "Sister was a little out of control just now."

"I often feel that way sometimes."

"Shout it out. It will feel much better if you shout it out."

Hideyuki suddenly stood up, facing the lake, took a deep breath, and then shouted: "Yena Kinseda, Jigou Kuniochino! (Disgusting life, hell: disgusting life, go to hell!)"

Sugita Saki also stood up, imitating him, but it was obvious that she, who was almost thirty years old, could not be as immature as Hideyuki. Even with her cheeks flushed, she only shouted these words: "Yena Kinseda, Jigaku Kuniochino! (Disgusting life, hell: disgusting life, go to hell!)"

After venting, there is silence.

"Thank you, Hideyuki." Sugita Saki said softly, "Sometimes, it feels better to have someone to complain to."

"Don't thank me, I didn't do anything."

Under the moonlight, the river surface was shimmering, the buoy suddenly sank, and the fishing rod was instantly tightened.

Xiuxing gripped the shaft tightly and felt a strong pulling force. After a brief struggle, a silver-white fish jumped out of the water, flashing a dazzling light, and struggled to be slowly pulled to the shore.

Finally, it lay powerlessly on the ground, its tail swinging feebly.

Chapter 43 A Day in the Life of Kitajima Miyuki (1)

Every morning at seven o'clock, Miyuki Kitajima wakes up.

This is the biological clock she has developed over the past ten years, and there has never been any deviation, except for the last time.

The last time Xiuxing gave her a massage, she was unusually late the next day. She didn't even prepare breakfast for Moxia. She could only buy some food on the way to school and hurriedly sent Moxia to school.

That feeling is really amazing.

Really want to do it again.

Thinking in her mind, Kitajima Miyuki slowly got out of bed and went to the bathroom to start a simple wash.

She is an accountant, mainly responsible for calculating the company's assets and debts.

Her work is usually quite busy, but her salary is relatively high, enough for her and Moxia to live a normal life in Kyoto, but she can't save much money.

She has thought about this issue seriously.

When Moxia goes to college, or when she graduates and is able to support herself, she will sell this house and move to the countryside.

This will reduce Moxia's future burden, and the money from selling the house can also be used for Moxia's marriage and her future retirement.

But this was only a last resort, and she didn't want to leave Kyoto where she had lived for half her life.

Today's breakfast was rice, miso soup, pickles, a few saury and a bowl of fruit salad.

It is not rich, but it is full of nutrients and vitamins that a person must consume every day.

After bringing the prepared breakfast to the table, Miyuki came to Moxia's room and gently opened the door.

Looking at Mosha who was still sleeping, a gentle smile appeared on her face. Whenever Miyuki saw Mosha's innocent and quiet sleeping face, she felt extremely at ease.

Kitajima Miyuki tiptoed to the bedside and gently called Moxia's name: "Little Princess Moxia, it's time to get up. Breakfast is ready."

As she spoke, she gently patted Mosha's shoulder.

Mosha opened her eyes blearily, and when she saw it was Miyuki, a bright smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Good morning, Mom," she said as she struggled to sit up in bed.

Miyuki looked at Moxia's sleepy appearance and couldn't help but smile: "Go wash up quickly, I still have to go call my brother."

Moxia nodded, got out of bed obediently and walked into the bathroom.

Miyuki turned around and went back to the stairs, and walked down the stairs to the door of Watanabe Hideyuki's room.

Miyuki took a deep breath and knocked on the door gently.

"Xiu Xing, are you up? Breakfast is ready." She called gently.

There was no sound coming from the room.

Kitajima Miyuki was a little confused at this time.

Could it be that Xiuxing was sleeping so soundly that he didn't hear it?

So she knocked harder.

However, there was still no response from the room.

Could it be that Xiuxing didn’t come back last night?

still...?

Miyuki placed her hand on the door handle and turned it gently, and the door opened unexpectedly.

"Hideyuki, are you there?" Miyuki called out as she walked into the room to check on the situation.

The scene before her made her cover her eyes.

Through the gaps between fingers.

I saw Watanabe Hideyuki still lying on the bed, his quilt kicked to the ground, his upper body exposed.

Maybe because the weather was too hot, he only wore a barely-covered top on his lower body...

Miyuki quickly turned around and coughed awkwardly, with a blush on her face.

She didn't expect to see such a scene, it was really laughable.

This brat... looks like an adult now...

"Hideyuki, hurry up and get up." Miyuki raised her voice again.

This time the voice was very close. Hearing Miyuki's call, Hideyuki finally opened his eyes in a daze. Seeing Miyuki standing by the window, he woke up instantly.

Looking down at his own attire, he quickly sat up and tidied up his quilt and clothes in a haphazard manner.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, how did you..." Xiuxing asked stutteringly, with an unnatural red color on his face.

Because he slept too late yesterday, he didn't go for a morning run today.

"I was just about to ask you, why are you sleeping so soundly? You couldn't even hear me knocking on the door!" Miyuki deliberately put on a stern face, but she couldn't hide the smile in the corner of her eyes.

Hideyuki was relieved to see that Miyuki wasn't really angry.

He smiled awkwardly and explained, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I read too late last night, so I slept very deeply."

"Reading is a good thing, but you have to be moderate." Miyuki subconsciously glanced at Hideyuki's lower body again, but it was already covered by the quilt, and continued, "Okay, go wash up, breakfast is ready."

Xiuxing washed up quickly.

In less than five minutes, the three of them sat down on the first floor to have breakfast together.

"Brother, you're staying in bed, you lazy bastard." Mosha made a slightly naughty face at Xiuxing.

Apparently Moxia also heard what happened upstairs.

The usually well-behaved Moxia looks even more adorable with such a contrast.

Watanabe Hideyuki touched his nose awkwardly, then ruffled Moka's hair lovingly.

"Moxia, don't learn from your brother."

Miyuki felt a warm feeling in her heart as she watched the interaction between the siblings.

After finishing breakfast, Miyuki started to clean up the dishes, while Moka and Hideyuki helped wash the dishes.

After finishing his work, Xiuxing left the house with his schoolbag.

And Miyuki has to take Moka to school.

Moxia's school is not far from her company, about ten minutes' walk away.

Very convenient.

By the time Kitajima Miyuki successfully punched in on the company's time clock machine, it was already 8:45.

Fifteen minutes earlier than the nine o'clock work time.

She sat at her desk and started her day's work.

Miyuki's desk is filled with a computer, documents and the most basic office supplies. Apart from that, there is nothing else. Everything is organized in perfect order.

This is also related to her personality and work efficiency to a certain extent.

Her work efficiency has always been very high and she is always able to complete tasks ahead of schedule, which has won her high praise in the company.
