Siheyuan: Cooking journey

He Yuzhu got out of the car, asked Yukiko Nakamori to stay in the car, and then went to a public telephone booth not far away to call Ye Shan.

The ship to the Red Country has been arranged, but Kana and Keiko still live in the same house.

Now that Yukiko Nakamori has arrived, we have to send her to the ship first, and then pick up Kana and Keiko. This way, Yukiko Nakamori will have to stay on the ship alone. Considering that she may feel unsafe in an unfamiliar environment, it is particularly important to find a bodyguard for her.

After all, I didn't expect Kana and Keiko would also take this boat.

Yukiko Nakamori was completely unaware of this, and letting her sneak away from Japan alone on a boat was indeed very irresponsible of her boyfriend. Finding a bodyguard can not only ensure her safety, but also make her feel cared for.

As for where to find this bodyguard, he didn't have many acquaintances in Japan to ask for help. The first person he thought of was Ye Shan. He usually used two different identities to get along with her, and his understanding of her became deeper and deeper.

When it comes to trust, He Yuzhu feels that Ye Shan is a very reliable person.

"Hello, who is it?"

The call was quickly answered, and a cold voice came from the other end.

He Yuzhu got straight to the point, "Wang Xuan, I need your help with something here."

"Uh……"

Ye Shan subconsciously touched her forehead, feeling an indescribable weirdness in her heart. He had called her last night, and today he was bothering her again. Especially since he was alone, but he called her under another identity.

Despite this, I felt inexplicably happy when I learned that it was him who called.

what does this mean?

The first person you think of when you encounter a problem must be trustworthy.

Thinking that He Yuzhu trusted him so much, although he responded coldly, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"it's actually really easy……"

He Yuzhu did not hide it, "The Nakamori family does not approve of my relationship with Nakamori Yukiko. We have eloped now and planned to leave for the Red Country at noon today. But because I have a mission and cannot leave for the time being, I can only let her take the boat over by herself."

"As I mentioned last time, I have a mission on hand and I can't leave for a short period of time, so I have to let her take the ship alone."

He Yuzhu explained, "I was worried that she would feel insecure in a new environment alone, so I wanted to find a trustworthy female bodyguard to accompany her to the Red Country."

In fact, He Yuzhu thought that Ye Shan was very suitable for this role. After all, they knew each other and were somewhat familiar with each other.

Unfortunately, Kana and Keiko had both met Ye Shan before and knew that they had a good relationship.

If Ye Shan appeared on the ship as a bodyguard, once Kana asked a few more questions out of curiosity, it might lead to unnecessary associations.

It is better to avoid such things as much as possible. If Ye Shan herself is not suitable, she has many qualified candidates who can be considered.

Of course, he knew that Ye Shan had many well-trained professional female bodyguards under her, but for confidentiality reasons he could not say it out loud. He could only ask Ye Shan to help him find a suitable protector.

"You're going to elope! To the Red Country!"

When Ye Shan on the other end of the phone heard He Yuzhu say that he wanted to run away with Nakamori Yukiko, she couldn't help but clench the phone in her hand, feeling mixed emotions.

I originally thought that this was just a pretense, but I didn't expect that they would even take the step of eloping and bringing Yukiko Nakamori back to their homeland. It seems that this relationship is not fake.

After realizing this, Ye Shan felt very uncomfortable.

She knew that if He Yuzhu really intended to bring Nakamori Yukiko back to the Red Country, it meant that he was not married in the country. If he was married, how could he let Nakamori Yukiko go with him?

This question is actually very easy to understand.

"Where are you now? I'm coming to find you..."

Ye Shan sighed softly, confirmed the location, and was stunned for a long time after hanging up the phone before she began to consider who to send to protect Yukiko Nakamori.

Back in the car.

He Yuzhu told Yukiko Nakamori the plan.

"I found you a female bodyguard who will protect you until we arrive safely in my country."

Yukiko Nakamori hugged him tightly, feeling very sad at the thought of the upcoming separation, but at the same time, she also understood that this was only a temporary separation.

After three or four days, we will be together forever and never have to be separated again. Our future life will be full of beauty.

Thinking of this, she felt a little better and asked curiously, "Who is that bodyguard? Do you have any other acquaintances in Japan?"

"We can't really be considered friends..."

He Yuzhu said directly, "You know this person, it's Ye Shan. After I sent you home last time, I met her a few more times and found that she looks cold but is very warm-hearted inside."

"I asked her to take care of Iga Shizune's affairs temporarily. Once we get to the Red Country, you two will have nothing to do with each other."

"Ye Shan?"

Yukiko Nakamori couldn't help but blink. When she thought of Ye Shan, she immediately remembered the scar on Ye Shan's face, and then thought of the scene where her lover helped to treat Ye Shan. That part is very private for women, and he actually saw it naked.

I didn't think much about it at the time, but now when I think about it, I feel unhappy. When I think about how experienced the other party is in this area, this feeling becomes stronger, and I want to get to the bottom of it.

But what does it matter if you know it?

Now that we have decided to elope together, can knowing all this change anything?

"Do you have another woman?" Yukiko Nakamori's voice trembled, and she subconsciously hugged him tighter.

He Yuzhu was stunned. He didn't expect her to ask this question suddenly. He didn't know what was the best answer for a moment. There were some things he wanted to clarify at a suitable time, such as his background and marriage situation. But now that Yukiko Nakamori asked directly, he was in a state of hesitation. Should he continue to conceal it or tell the truth?

For a moment, He Yuzhu couldn't make up his mind.

"I was married in the Red Country." He Yuzhu paused for a moment, took a breath silently, and said slowly.

He only told part of the truth, not the whole thing. He could talk about the marriage, but he couldn't talk about the identity for the time being. When he was on the boat with Kana, Kana didn't know about Yukiko Nakamori. If he told Yukiko Nakamori everything, and she passed the word to Kana, it would be a very embarrassing situation.

This matter will eventually have to be told, no matter how much we delay, Kana will know it one day. But for now, let's delay it for a while, at least until our feelings for each other are deeper, so it's safer.

Otherwise, it would not only be a matter of face, but it would also be terrible if the other person got angry and left.

"You are actually married..." Yukiko Nakamori bit her lower lip tightly, and her whole body was trembling slightly.

She knew very well that this matter was a done deal and she couldn't just turn around and leave. That night she had finally figured it out and decided to follow the person who made her feel at ease, no matter what.

However, when the facts were in front of her, she felt very different. She felt very complicated, painful and confused, and didn't know how to face this situation.

"Yes, I am married, but..."

He Yuzhu hugged her tightly, stroked her back gently, and sighed, "You grew up in Japan, so you may not know much about the situation in the Red Country. It was a turbulent period, and something happened in my wife's family. They didn't want to implicate me, so the whole family moved out of the Red Country."

"It's been more than ten years since we last met, and I've been waiting for so many years."

"I have family and responsibilities over there, so I can't just leave and can only wait."

"Now that the situation has stabilized a lot and the environment has changed a lot, I have the opportunity to come out and look for it."

"In fact, from the moment I made the decision, I have been trying to find my ex-wife. I went to many places, including Hong Kong, Australia, and Singapore. I put ads in newspapers in various countries but there was no news. So I came to Japan with a glimmer of hope."

"I didn't find her but I met you."

"We are together now. You even gave up your family for me. How can I continue to hide it..."

This half-truth story obviously sounds much better than telling Nakamori Yukiko directly that he had been married many times. After all, although women say that they don't care, they actually care about these things in their hearts. He realized this through his relationship with Lou Xiao'e - people are often only willing to listen to what they are willing to believe.

If he told the truth and confessed that he had been married twice and had two children, and even that one of his concubines was Yukiko Nakamori's best friend, the other party probably would not be able to accept it at all; but if he said that his wife left for an accident and never appeared again after many years, it would be easier for people to sympathize with him.

This can also set the stage for the real spouse to come back in the future.

When the time comes to deal with the relationship between two or more women, the gentle, submissive and deeply in love Yukiko Nakamori may be more understanding and tolerant.

But this cannot be done for Kana.

Kana's personality is completely different from Yukiko Nakamori. She knew that He Yuzhu was married but still chose to face it bravely; but this does not mean that she can easily accept all realities.

If one discovers that in addition to his current lover, there are several other concubines, or even concubines whose ranking is lower than his, and one of them is actually a close friend, I'm afraid his reaction will not be too optimistic.

Therefore, the smartest approach at this stage is to maintain the status quo, try to conceal the truth, and then slowly reveal all the secrets until the time is right.

"Then you, you..."

Knowing that the person she loved was indeed married was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Yukiko Nakamori.

The world seemed to suddenly become dark.

But after hearing this story, I seemed to see the light again. I originally planned to ask: "So what should I do if I go back to the Red Country with you in the future?" But now it seems that there is no need to worry too much.

However, when I heard that my beloved had been waiting for another woman for several years and had traveled across the ocean to find her, I couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Even though she was the one who took the initiative to pursue him, Yukiko Nakamori was still not sure whether this relationship was deep enough?
