Chapter 7: Renewal
"Oh, my head hurt......s! Where am I?" Lin Xiuyi got up from the bed with sleepy eyes, looking at the unfamiliar environment in the room, he really couldn't remember what was going on. But when he lifted the quilt and found himself naked, he couldn't help but feel a panic.
"Are you awake?"
A voice came from the door, interrupting Lin Xiuyi's thoughts, he raised his head, saw Jingzi leaning against the door and knocking on the door frame, let Hou wave his hand and said to Lin Xiuyi.
"That, what happened...... Lin Xiuyi asked a little embarrassed, after all, he didn't have anything on his body now, if nothing else, he should have rolled the sheets.
"I asked you to take me home last night, but unfortunately you threw up on me as soon as I got in the car, and then I couldn't wake up. So I can only leave you in my apartment, and as for your clothes, I've thrown them all away. But even more excessively, you vomited again, staining not only my room, but also on my new laptop...... So I had to throw you into the bathroom and rinse you with water for half an hour......"
Lin Xiuyi, who originally thought that he had been cheapened, was counted down by Jingzi like this, and then gradually recalled his idiotic behavior last night. What are you doing, I thought something beautiful had happened, but it was so embarrassing, Lin Xiuyi suddenly felt very embarrassed.
When Jingzi saw Lin Xiuyi's expression, he immediately understood that he should have remembered what happened last night. Since this was the case, Jingzi didn't continue the embarrassing topic just now, she left the room, and then threw a word to Lin Xiu.
"Just now your sister and female subordinate called separately to ask where you were, and I told them that you are here with me now. If you're asleep, get up and have breakfast...... A new set of clothes at the head of the bed!"
Jingzi's voice gradually faded away, and Lin Xiuyi buried his head in the quilt in annoyance, it was really embarrassing, how could he let this woman see such an embarrassing side of herself.
LIN XIUYI CAREFULLY GOT UP FROM THE BED, FOR FEAR THAT JINGZI WOULD SUDDENLY WALK INTO THE ROOM AGAIN, AND HE FOLLOWED JINGZI'S INSTRUCTIONS AND SAW A BRAND-NEW LONNER SUIT HANGING ON THE BEDSIDE. There is also a paper bag containing a full range of men's clothing such as CK brand underwear, socks, shirts, and ties. It can be seen that these things should have been purchased by Jingzi early in the morning. After all, this is an upscale residential area in Akasaka, and you can buy these things just by walking two steps downstairs.
Although Lin Xiuyi doesn't often visit department stores, he also knows that these things add up to an estimated cost more than 100,000 yen to buy. After Lin Xiuyi was dressed neatly, he found his pen, watch, and the coat of arms of the search lesson at the head of the bed. There is also a brand new set of toiletries.
Half an hour later, Lin Xiuyi was finally able to sit across from Jingzi as usual, Jingzi's breakfast was very simple, omelet toast with orange juice. When Lin Xiuyi sat down, Jingzi just glanced at him, and then he was busy revising the manuscript in his hand.
"I'll pay for the cleaning and costumes as soon as possible!" Lin Xiuyi sat upright and plucked up his courage to say to Jingzi.
"No need, just treat it as if I gave it to you!" Jingzi said to him without raising her head.
"That laptop ......," Lin Xiuyi asked again.
"No, fortunately, the files are stored on the server of the legal department, and I will buy a new one!" Keiko replied absentmindedly.
Lin Xiuyi picked up the knife on the seat with some embarrassment, cut the omelette, and the egg liquid quickly flowed out. Lin Xiuyi smeared the egg mixture on the toast with a knife, then cut the toast, forked a small piece with a knife and put it in his mouth.
"It's delicious!"
Lin Xiuyi praised sincerely.
"Oh, if you like it, I haven't made breakfast for anyone other than my family!" Keiko said, putting away the finished paperwork and pouring herself a glass of orange juice.
This breakfast was really embarrassing enough. The relationship between Lin Shuichi and Keiko has begun to fall to freezing point since the last Tokyo bombing case. Not long after that, Keiko left her Kichijoji apartment and moved to live in Higashi-Akasaka. It's close to Sakurada Gate, and of course the cost of housing is quite substantial.
The two of them each tasted the food on their plates, angry and very embarrassed. Lin Xiuyi wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak. And he didn't return last night, and he didn't say hello to Reina, so he naturally felt a little guilty.
"That, I didn't expect you to go to the friendship too, have you started thinking about getting married recently?" As soon as Lin Xiuyi said this, he felt that it was a little inappropriate, this kind of thing can only be asked by friends with good relationships, with the current relationship between Jingzi and Lin Xiuyi, it is not appropriate to ask this kind of question at all.
"No, this time I just heard Kono-kun say that you will also see the friendship, so I will go......"
Keiko didn't feel any disgust at this question, he really just saw that Lin Xiu was on Kono's list, so he subconsciously agreed. In fact, Keiko has always believed in her heart that marriage is the grave of a Japanese woman's career. Because there is almost no support from the state to society, women who get married continue to work full-time. Not to mention ordinary people, even the national civil servants who worked hard in Kasumigaseki and Nagata Town, there are not a few people who give up their careers because of marriage. Keiko's ambition will never be to be a good housewife, she wants to be a woman like Ando-sen.
……
After breakfast, Shuichi Hayashi and Keiko left her apartment in Akasaka at the same time and took the subway to Sakurada Gate together. Both the Ministry of Justice and the Metropolitan Police Department are located near Sakurada Gate. It's been a long time since the two have worked together like they used to.
"By the way, Shuichi-kun, are you still living with Miko now?" Keiko asked for no reason on the way to work.
"No, I just brought my sister from Aomori to Tokyo, and the apartment was too small, so I bought an apartment near Kichijoji Minamicho, but Miko told me that she seemed to be planning to move too. Lin Xiu replied to Jingzi.
"Oh! I didn't expect everyone to change so quickly! In just a few months, so many things have happened! Let's get together if we have a chance in the future!" Jingzi pretended to invite Lin Xiuyi calmly, in fact, when she said this, she was very afraid that Lin Xiuyi would refuse her.
"Okay, there will be a chance in the future!" Lin Xiuyi replied.
