Chapter 709 Missed

All I can say is that the scene was very embarrassing.

Huai Shi stood beside him dumbfounded, unable to react. I don’t understand why Fukasatsu Keitang, a cooking devil, would come to an izakaya in the inner circle of Tamba.

And before that, it seemed that I had gone to great lengths to inquire about it for a long time...

Shen Jinqing no longer cared about so much, and moved step by step to the front of the bar. He didn't notice the presence of other people at all, and only the stunned woman remained in his eyes.

"Miss A Tao, it's you, it's you..." He grabbed the landlady's hand and was almost crying with excitement: "I finally, I finally found you."

A Tao's hand stiffened for a moment, and she subconsciously retracted it, saying dryly: "Mr. Shenjin, please calm down, it's still business hours."

"Sorry, sorry."

Shen Jinqing finally noticed his gaffe, and quickly took a step back, raising his sleeves to wipe his red eyes, showing a solemn and sincere expression.

He took a step back again, bent over, knelt on the ground, and lowered his head deeply.

"I know that my sudden visit will trouble you, but please accept my apology." He lowered his head and prayed sincerely: "Please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye last time, and please...please Give me another chance."

"This is my lifelong request, Miss A Tao!"

He raised his head, stared into her eyes, and said loudly: "Please let us start over, A Tao, I will never let you leave me this time!"

I mustered up the courage to say what I should have said long ago: "I have loved you since a long, long time ago. Please, please marry me!"

Huai Shi felt that her hand could hardly hold the cup.

The melon stuffed into his mouth was so big that he couldn't react: What was this guy thinking? Suddenly he came to the door, there was no foreshadowing, just out of the blue, a proposal?

Brother, it’s not unreasonable for you to be single for so many years!

Even the plot of childhood sweethearts is not like this! How could you possibly want someone to get married to you as soon as you come to your door after seeing him for so many years?

You wouldn't be so reckless if you ate less than one puffer fish, right?

The first person to react was not the proprietress, but the furious fisherman Takahashi next to him.

"You bastard, what the hell are you talking about!"

The burly man couldn't restrain his anger. He stretched out his hand and roughly lifted Shen Jinqing from the ground. He glared at his face and was so angry that his hair and beard were all sprouting. He growled: "I've heard it a long time ago. You are the one everywhere." Ask about Ms. Omi’s stalker! How dare you come to your door!”

Without waiting for Fukatsu to answer, Takahashi raised his fist and wanted to beat this scumbag to death here for harassing him.

After reacting, Huai Shi quickly stretched out her hand to grab Takahashi's arm.

But the one who was faster than him was the boss lady.

I don't know whether she should be called Ms. Omi or Miss Atao, but she is blocking Fukatsu at this moment, blocking this imminent fight.

"Please don't do this. This is my own private matter. Let me solve it."

"I, I...I'm not..."

Takahashi was stunned, his livid face gradually solidified, and when he noticed the sincerity in her expression, he seemed to understand something, and his expression suddenly became gloomy.

He let go of his hand.

He returned to his seat tiredly, lowering his head and drinking wine. He looked downcast, like a defeated fighting dog.

"Miss A Tao, I knew it... I knew it!" Shen Jin looked at her in surprise: "You have me in your heart, right?"

"I'm sorry, Fukatsu-kun."

In front of Shenjin, the proprietress opened her mouth several times to say something, but in the end she lowered her eyes and just politely refused: "Thank you for working so hard to come to me. It's great to be able to meet an old friend again.

But unfortunately, I do not agree to your request. Please go back. "

"Why, why? Don't you know my feelings for you? Is it because of the child? I don't mind, it doesn't matter! I will treat her as my biological daughter! We can raise her together..."

"You don't deserve to raise his child!"

This sentence was made up by Huai Shi next to him - he couldn't stand it anymore. These two operations were simply not enough to eat, they were just planting rice directly in his mouth...

He slapped himself on the forehead and couldn't stand it.

Very impatient.

A Tao didn't speak, just looked at him silently and shook his head slightly.

Fukatsu's face turned pale little by little.

"It doesn't matter even if the child doesn't change his surname. Really, I, I..." He prayed humbly, almost crying: "Don't you understand my sincerity?"

I couldn't hold back the tears and choked up anymore.

"I just want to spend my life with Miss A Tao!"

"Sorry, Fukatsu-kun, I can't promise you."

A Tao bent down and refused any more tactfully: "But I am already married, have a new family, and a new family... So please don't come to me again in the future."

As she said that, she looked back at Takahashi who was drinking behind her.

Takahashi had a wine glass in his hand and hadn't reacted yet. He looked over blankly, not understanding what she meant.

In the brief silence, A Tao's eyes gradually became pleading.

Huai Shi sighed and kicked the bitch hard under the table, causing him to finally wake up and suddenly realize, staring at Shenjin with his eyes wide open.

"You bastard, didn't you listen to her?"

Slapping his hand on the table, Takahashi raised his voice: "Don't let me see you here again!"

In the dead silence, Shen Jinqing's figure stooped little by little.

The look and expectation in his eyes gradually extinguished.

His face was ashen.

"Hug, sorry, it's me, I'm the one who disturbed..."

He turned around awkwardly, staggered away, rushed into the dark night and disappeared without looking back.

Only the sound of mourning came from the distance.

A Tao quietly stared in the direction he left without saying anything. For a long, long time, he lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes, then turned around and forced a smile to his guest.

"Sorry for making you two laugh...and causing trouble for Mr. Takahashi."

"No, no, it doesn't matter to me at all! I, I..."

Takahashi slapped his chest, his eyes widened, his face turned red and he wanted to say something, but he was so anxious that he even spoke in dialect. But looking at her calm look, she was speechless.

Slowly he lowered his head in exhaustion.

"Please bring me another beer."

Huai Shi sighed, handed over the beer glass in his hand, looked back at the direction outside the door, and sighed helplessly: "I guess that guy is a pretty good person."

A Tao shook his head and said nothing.

Takahashi glared over and signaled him to stop saying a few words. If Huaishi hadn't reminded him just now, he might have cursed now.

"Just drinking is not good. I happen to have some octopus and tofu. Let's use it as an apology for causing trouble to you two."

Behind the cooking table, the proprietress was cooking with neat hands and feet, and soon served two dishes to go with the wine.

While she was busy, Huaishi looked up and looked at the photo on the wall behind the kitchen counter next to the business license - Tomoko Omi, who won the silver medal in the Kyoto Middle School Painting Competition.

The little girl in the photo is holding the trophy and smiling brightly.

But his face was slightly pale, and the sleeves he had pulled down deliberately did not block the bruises on the back of his hands, which were traces of swollen blood vessels caused by too many intravenous injections.

"Did something happen to that child?"

Huai Shi asked curiously, and then Gao Qiao, who was standing next to him, glared over and motioned for the guy not to open or pick up a certain pot.

The landlady paused for a moment, shook her head and sighed: "It's nothing. That child is just like you, a customer."

Huai Shi subconsciously touched the horns on her forehead. She had forgotten to cover them when she was drinking in the private room, and she only realized it now.

"Actually, you don't have to worry about it. It's just a thing of the past."

The proprietress had calmed down, took out the cigarette case from her pocket and asked the two of them. After seeing that they had no objection, she nodded and said "I'm rude", then tilted her head and lit it.

"When I was under great pressure in the past, I got into bad habits. When I got older and tried to change them, I couldn't change them." She smiled helplessly, "It's all over anyway, right?"

Huai Shi hesitated for a long time and asked curiously: "Single mothers are not uncommon, wouldn't it be good to start over?"

In the silence, he noticed that the two people looked at him strangely, as if they were looking at a child who didn't understand anything.

It's like asking - are you really from Yingzhou?

Huai Shi had nothing to say, so she raised her hand and slapped it on her forehead.

I have forgotten the sentiments of the people in this damn place...

It's not easy for a single mother to live anywhere, let alone with a mixed-race child.

Ms. Omi, or Ms. Atao, does not shy away from the past.

After passing the age of a little girl, I can already see everything.

In her words, it was just a stupid thing she did when she was young.

When he was young and ignorant, he was deceived by sweet words. After discovering that he was pregnant, the other party disappeared overnight with all his savings.

"When the hospital found out that the child was a mixed breed, my father was very angry at the time. After all, it was an insult to the family, and he strictly ordered me to abort it. But I was stupid, so what crime does the child have?"

She smoked a cigarette and sighed softly: "Actually, everyone knows that Fukatsu-kun likes me, and he won't care. My father is his master. As long as there is an order, he will never refuse, but in that case, Fukatsu-kun will not refuse." Isn't that unfair of you? As a result, I was kicked out of the house because I didn't know what was good or bad.

After cutting off contact with my parents' family, I worked everywhere by myself and was miserable. However, Mr. Fukatsu often came to help me and never disliked me... It really made me feel ashamed. "

When she said this, after being silent for a long time, she shrugged self-deprecatingly: "Some age, some things, if you miss it, you miss it. He is already the chef of Santu and has a bright future. People like me will only drag him down. "

Fukatsu, who was already successful and famous, would only become a laughing stock in the eyes of others if he married a woman with a mixed-race child.

Huai Shi shook his head and persuaded: "As long as you are willing, he won't care."

"I care."

Across the candlelight, her eyes were calm and silent, like stones.

The last remaining bit of dignity whispered softly.

I care.

Huaishi didn't say anything after that, put away her self-righteous kindness, fulfilled her duty as a guest, and turned around and went upstairs after drinking.

Takahashi was already very drunk. After crying and yelling and talking nonsense, he staggered away alone. When Huaishi and the others came down again, no one could be seen.

Only the calm landlady politely sent the group out the door.

After walking a long way, Huai Shi turned around and saw the proprietress standing behind the door. She picked up the bamboo pole, took off the lantern at the door, lowered her head and blew it out, then turned back to the store and closed the door.

The lights inside gradually went out.

It's closed.

Originally I wrote a lot of nonsense, but after thinking about it, one sentence I care about is enough.

It’s still one update today, sorry.
