CHAPTER XLIV

After dinner, I pushed open the door of Yuichi Fujisawa's study and looked for a book in his library.

I know he changed some of the structure of this house when he built the studio for me, but this is the only place where it was originally.

The style of this study is different from the rest, with some mahogany utensils here, ornate fabrics and intricate decorations throughout, none of which is the minimalist style that Fujisawa prefers. The bookshelf, in particular, doesn't look like it was built specifically for him. It was so tall that it climbed from the first floor to the second floor, and to get the books on it, you had to use a movable elevator. There is also a short and narrow escalator next to the bookshelf, which leads to the corridor in front of the bookshelf on the second floor, as well as a separate reading space on the second floor.

I went upstairs along the escalator, and the reading space on the second floor was a tatami design, covered with a thick and soft blanket, and a soft pillow of the same style, and there were several wall lamps on the walls.

I took a random book and sat on the edge of the tatami mat and flipped through it until the ringing of my phone interrupted me.

It's Yagyu.

I connected, and I heard his voice, which came softly: "Ah, Susu, didn't bother you, did you?" ”

If it weren't for something important, Yanagi wouldn't have called me at such a time. I closed the book and started talking to him.

"That's the case, Su Su, have you seen Qin Chuan recently?"

The important thing is about Qin Chuan? I couldn't help but feel a little headache.

"Hmm." I said, "I just met today." ”

"Have you seen him?" Liu Sheng was a little surprised, "Then did he mention that he was going back to China?" ”

"Returning home? He's going back home? I was stunned, "He's not graduating until next year, right?" ”

"He mentioned it again before, something happened at home." "I thought it would be something that could be solved in the short term, but he suddenly quit, not just from the café, and he quit all his part-time jobs." I went to the school to look for him, and only then did I find out that he was going through the procedures for suspension. ”

Yanagi sighed, deep self-reproach in his tone.

I was silent, no wonder he seemed so abnormal during the day, neither arranges me as usual, nor makes any accusations against my actions, or even says such strange things......

"Susu, you know, people like him, if they are willing to accept help, they won't hide it from others. But I want to ...... Isn't there any other way we can help him? ”

"I don't know...... Yanagi," I whispered, "you let me think about it." ”

Probably hearing the tiredness in my tone, Yanagi hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't want to disturb you, but I was too anxious and added a burden to you." ”

"Nothing." I said, "We're friends, aren't we?" You guys have helped me so much, too. ”

"Well, Susu, we, we're all going to figure it out."

We exchanged a few pleasantries and ended the call. I sat in silence for a few moments, and there was two knocks on the door of my study.

"Susu?" At this time, it will only be Yuichi Fujisawa.

I poked my head out of the escalator: "You're back?" ”

He looked up downstairs: "Sorry to bother you?" ”

I got up, put the book back in its place, and went down the last staircase unhurriedly, and I didn't come any closer from an arm's length away.

He took off his blazer and tie, and wore a vertical plaid shirt, which was dark and could only be appreciated in the light, and I had picked it out for him.

We looked at each other as if waiting for each other to speak first.

I probably need to clarify that he took up his reserved seat today, and that nice bill on the card. And what about him? I just had a meal with a friend, and maybe he too. What does he need to clarify? I work part-time in Zhinian Shuxi Gaoding Line, every stroke I use today, clearly, which one is not his?

I'm just sad.

When I was insulted in that office, when the fruits of my hard work were usurped, I stood straighter than anyone else, but I couldn't say a word to defend myself. The white-collar beauty meant that the moment I entered the studio by relying on relationships, my dignity made me lose my armor.

I didn't speak, it was Yuichi Fujisawa who came and hugged me.

"Today, had a hard time?"

It turns out that all I wanted was one of those words.

My heart fluttered, and my eyes were almost driven to tears by the words.

I muffled, "I haven't said anything yet." ”

"yes, but you have it all written on your face." He gently stroked my head, "You didn't see it, my eyes were red." ”

Even the voice couldn't stop shaking, and I buried my head in his chest to hide my emotions: "I didn't. ”

"Good, good." He reassured me, "Can you tell me, what's going on?" ”

I shook my head.

"If it's work, I'll know sooner or later." He said, "Is it Miss Koizumi?" Did she embarrass you? ”

"From her standpoint, she made the right decision."

Listening to my words, Yuichi Fujisawa sighed lightly.

"Susu, you are very sensible, but I always hope that you can be a girl who is not so sensible." He possessed him, his chin resting on the top of my head, "I'm not an adult who wants to adopt a child, come to the orphanage to pick up a child." I hope you're upset and can be coquettish at me. When I'm sad, tell me frankly. When you're angry, it's okay to be angry at me. ”

"It's okay, Susu." He hugged me in a more intimate gesture, "I said, I'm here and I'm not going anywhere." ”

I put my ear against his chest, my right ear against his left chest, and in such an intimate position, his heartbeat sounded smoothly and forcefully into my eardrums.

He wasn't lying, but he wasn't necessarily sincere.
