Love flowers when the rain is flying

Chapter 24

Question, you should understand, right? "

It's all come to this point, this stubborn big rock can go hand in hand with natural heritage and cultural relics.Hua Shiyu resisted the urge to sigh.

"Then introduce my family's lawyer to you, because the other party is a criminal who violated the capital contribution law, and we have no obligation to hand over the money obediently."

"I already knew about this kind of thing."

"Now that you know—"

"I've already talked to a lawyer about it."

"what?"

"As I said during the day, the law has nothing to do with those guys. One day they sue them, and the next day there are gangster-like guys walking around in front of the store."

It makes ordinary guests afraid to come in for dinner.Whether to close the business or withdraw the lawsuit, there is no choice at all, and I have been enduring this unreasonable thing so far.As soon as he imagined Yixin's reluctance, Hua Shiyu clenched his fists tightly.

"Since this is the situation, there is nothing you can do if you push too hard, right?"

Just as I was about to continue to say——please accept assistance——

"It's a matter of self-esteem."

In the next moment, anxiety welled up.

"That's not self-esteem."

Staring at Hua Shiyu wholeheartedly.

"What Yixin really wants to protect is the dining room left by his parents last month, as well as the feelings of encouragement and love for Yixin's guests and retired old people. It is also because Yixin understands this that he has endured this unreasonable thing until now, right? "

But why is he insisting on such a meaningless face question now?When Hua Shiyu questioned, Yixin lowered his head.Hua Shiyu wanted to touch his hand to ask the reason, but Yixin shook off his hand as if being burned.

"Because I don't want to owe you any more!"

Hua Shiyu felt his mind go blank.

"……I?"

So if Hua Shiyu hadn't proposed it, Yixin would have accepted the assistance?If you interpret it literally, it should be like this.why?Did he do such an annoying thing?

He didn't understand, he regretted what he didn't understand, and he felt sorry for himself even more from the bottom of his heart; he couldn't help at a time like this.The emotion that he had endured so far seemed to be about to explode. He clenched his hands tightly, allowing his nails to pierce into the skin.It would be tricky to cry out on the spot, so he took a deep breath to keep his voice from shaking.

"It's okay if you don't like me."

"That's not what I mean."

"But you just have to bear with it now and accept the help."

"I said that's not what I meant, it's not your fault—"

At this time, the phone in the living room rang, and he swallowed the words wholeheartedly. He stared at Hua Shiyu, bit his lips bitterly, and then got up as if trying to break free.

"Hi, this is last month's house."

Hua Shiyu was thinking about whether he could hear the voice from the open corridor, when Yixin's voice sounded a little blunt. After repeating "yes" and "but", he listened to the other party's words.

"Yes... thank you. No, it will not affect you. I will take the initiative to visit you, yes, sorry for the inconvenience."

He seemed to hang up the phone, but he didn't appear to be back in the room.Hua Shiyu walked into the living room, and found that Yixin was sitting cross-legged on the tatami mat with his head lowered, his shoulders drooping weakly.Hua Shiyu had already noticed who was calling, so he didn't make a sound.

"It's your grandpa calling. He heard about it from Sanada-san, hoping to help..."

Looking at Hua Shiyu with all his heart, his expression and voice were lifeless.

"……Feel sorry."

Hua Shiyu instructed Sanada to report the ins and outs of today's incident to his grandfather.He understood that Yixin would not accept help so easily, and when it took time to persuade Yixin, it would be futile if there was any delay.So he thought that it would be better to act first, and then discuss it later.

"At first I thought you were a silly princess who didn't know the world... Really, what you said is right, now is not the time to insist on meaningless face issues."

He scratched his head with a wry smile, and then looked serious.

"Thank you, you were a great help."

Yixin was about to bow to thank him, but Hua Shiyu hurriedly stopped him.

"It was grandfather who helped you, so you don't have to thank me."

"It doesn't make sense—"

"I want to go back home."

Hua Shiyu said interruptingly, opening his eyes wide open.

"Because I violated Yixin as my master and did this on my own. Even in the shop, I have many shortcomings, so if I continue to stay here, I don't seem to be able to help Yixin."

Instead, he just let him take care of it.After calming down and thinking about it carefully, you can understand Yixin's feeling that he doesn't want to owe Hua Shiyu any more.

——I can't communicate with you, but I hope you can help me.

Even if Yixin's mouth was torn apart, he would not be able to say this line.However, in order to protect the storefront, he twisted his insistence on receiving assistance. Just facing himself face to face like now, he must feel uncomfortable.That's why Hua Shiyu wanted to leave. If no matter what he did, it would only create a burden on his mind, then he would gradually lose the meaning of staying here.

"I... thank you very much. Although I didn't know what to do at first, but you are straightforward, cheerful, and hardworking. The retired old people love you very much, and so do I..."

After swallowing the words wholeheartedly, he said it clearly.

"Thank you for taking care of me all the time."

— Not even a solace.

He obviously said it himself, but he still had some expectations in his heart, and he felt very ashamed.His chest was throbbing until now, but he remembered the last thing he had to tell Yixin.

"Turtle liked you very much in high school."

Yixin showed a surprised expression.

"But he felt that Yixin would not accept him, so he couldn't express his feelings. I asked him what he would do if Yixin confessed to him now, and he said he would be very troubled."

"Wait a minute, why are you saying this all of a sudden?"

"Let's express your feelings to Agui. It will definitely go well."

Hua Shiyu smiled and got up.

"I will leave tomorrow, thank you for taking care of me all the time."

Hua Shiyu bowed deeply, and quickly left the living room.After pulling the sliding door of the two-and-a-half-pound room behind his back, he immediately covered his mouth with both hands, otherwise it seemed that someone would hear his crying.

The next day, Hua Shiyu told Le Bu that he was leaving the last month's restaurant today, and Le Bu was greatly surprised.

"W-Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

"The debt matter has been settled, so you don't have to worry about it."

"I'm not talking about this matter. Ah, this is also a very important matter, but... Yixin-senpai!"

Le Bu turned to look at the kitchen, but he was focused on preparing the ingredients silently, without even looking at them.Le Bu probably sensed that the atmosphere was a bit weird, and looked back and forth between Yixin and Hua Shiyu uneasily.

"Until now, I have been taken care of by Agui, thank you."

Hua Shiyu smiled, started cleaning in the morning, and went back to his room after finishing.As he silently packed the clothes into the suitcase, he recalled the details of the past four months spent at last month's house.

At first he only came here because of his grandfather's orders, but he gained a lot of valuable experience, such as washing dishes or washing clothes, and even peeling vegetables with a kitchen knife.More importantly, he met Yixin.For the first time, he understood the feeling of falling in love with others, as if flying to the sky, and the sadness when losing the other party.His vision couldn't help blurring, and he quickly thought about other things.

——By the way, let’s make an omelette for grandpa today.

Hua Shiyu, who has never cooked before, made omelets. What kind of expression will my grandfather show when he finds out?Just imagining it makes people smile.By the way, starting tonight, he will be able to sleep in the soft duvet, and it is rare to sleep with the traditional Japanese pancake quilt, but he has never been able to get used to it, although his back and waist are uncomfortable when he wakes up in the morning It doesn't rattle any more.

——There will never be a next time.

Water dripped on the folded shirt, and he stopped what he was doing.

After crying quietly for a while, he silently put the clothes into the suitcase.

It was also close to business hours at this time, and he planned to greet others before leaving, so he walked out of the room, and halfway down the stairs, he heard the sound of banging on the sliding door of the store.In a panic, he rushed to the store to find out, only to see that the store had not even opened yet, and the retired old people surrounded him.

"Isshin, you don't have to say anything, just accept this."

"After all, we are just a group of retired elderly people. Although we can't prepare a large sum of tens of millions, at least we have the money to allow you to rent a storefront elsewhere."

If you sell the land, you can repay the debt, but you also lose the storefront.Even if they wanted to open a shop elsewhere, no bank would give a loan to a 27-year-old man without collateral, so the retirees gave Yixin their passbooks and asked him to use them.

"Everyone, thank you for your kindness, but I appreciate it."

"Idiot, now is not the time to be polite."

Although the retired old man scolded one by one, Yixin smiled happily.

"It's really okay, Ahua's family wants to lend me money."

The retired old people's eyes were on Hua Shiyu, and then they ran to Hua Shiyu and bowed several times to thank him.It was the grandfather, not him, who raised the money, and he was just a student.He explained everything in this way, but everyone didn't listen.While Hua Shiyu was feeling sorry, it was time for the store to open, and someone opened the store door.

"Welcome, early—"

Le Bu's voice fell silent halfway through, because five men in suits who looked very bad-mannered came in swaggeringly.They looked around the store in displeasure, talking loudly.

"Oh, what a shabby store."
