12. The current Takashi Kawamura ([-])

"Eh? Don't you have a date with Ikki-kun today?" Yuko Kawasumi sat at the breakfast table, her tone and expression were full of regret.

"Dated yesterday, and isn't the saying 'distance makes beauty'?" And don't they have to date every day of the week as a couple?If we are together every day, even people who have a crush on them will get bored. Everyone hopes to have alone time.Although the food tasting event at Kawamura-kun's house was in the evening, Kawasumi Chihaya has nothing to do right now...

In order to prevent Kawasumi Yuko from continuing to bring the topic to her and Nakai Kazuki, Kawasumi Chihaya changed the topic and said, "Mom, I want to start working part-time next semester."

"Eh? Why did you suddenly think of working part-time?" Before she could answer, Yuko hurriedly continued, "Chihaya, do you finally feel the need to start self-reliance now?"

"Hey, don't make it seem like I've been growing up under your wings...although it's true." Chihaya paused for a moment at her mother's expression of interest and continued: "I always feel that apart from studying time, after-school I still have more time, so I plan to make good use of it. Besides, there are some things I have always wanted to buy, but I am sorry to tell you and you because of the price."

"It's those animations or a full set of books, right?" The confidant Mo Ruomu, of course Yuko knew what Chihaya was thinking.

She nodded, put down her chopsticks, and clasped her hands together: "I'm full. Mom, would you like to go out with me today? You finally came to Tokyo, so you can't just stay at home all the time."

Yuko Kawasumi thought that her daughter would never take the initiative to propose this invitation, and her eyes were slightly red when she heard it.Seeing his mother's appearance, Qianzao was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart. ...Since she came to Tokyo to go to high school, she has indeed rarely returned to her hometown. Every time, her parents took the initiative to come here... Thinking about it, she is really getting more and more unreliable as a daughter.

She walked behind Yuko Kawasumi, leaned over and put her head on the woman's shoulder, turned her head and kissed the woman's cheek, she slowed down and whispered: "Mom, next time I have a holiday, I will bring you all kinds of good things." food."

Kawasumi Yuko was tickled by Chihaya's exhalation, and smiled, "You're just like that. Then just bring me and your dad a husband back. Well, didn't you say you want to go out for a stroll?" Mom, I’m going to make a big purchase today, and my sisters are looking forward to me bringing back the spoils.”

"Well. Then let's get ready to go."

Kawasumi Chihaya looked at her mother who seemed to be much younger all of a sudden, and felt inexplicably relieved.

Chihaya really saw what her mother said about the big purchases. After the shopping was over, it was already the time when the sun was setting. Looking at a big bag of things, even Yuko Kawasumi was caught by a housewife. The good arm strength I exercised can't last long, so I can only call a car to go home.

The two were standing on the side of the road and were about to hail a taxi. Chihaya Kawasumi couldn't help teasing: "Mom, Dad gave you a lot of money to squander this time?"

"What does it mean to give me a lot of money? Don't you know that I am managing our family's money. It should be me who gave it to him." Yuko Kawasumi frowned to correct her words.

"Mom, I won't go home to eat after calling a car later."

"It's the sushi restaurant tasting event at the student's home. Actually, I really want to eat it, Mom." Yuko Kawasumi looked at Chihaya and opened his mouth to say, no need to guess that she must go with her, but she Now I really feel powerless, "But my mother's body is really old, after this shopping, I really can't accept the old. I won't join in the fun, go back to take a shower early and watch the soap opera."

"You must want to hear 'Mom, you're not old at all' from my mouth."

"...Your daughter is really not cute at all. You can just say this kind of words in single quotation marks, and please read the rest in your heart. Eh? You said why can't you get a taxi. It's strange..."

When the two were arguing, Chihaya Kawasumi suddenly heard a familiar voice next to her that had been appearing in her ears for the past few days, "Kawasumi-san, what a coincidence."

Kawasumi Chihaya turned her head to see Takashi Kawamura with pure joy on his face.Takashi Kawamura was wearing a brown nylon coat. He unbuttoned it to reveal the black sweater inside probably because of the sweltering heat. This kind of clothing suits him surprisingly well.He also carried a big bag of things in his hand, and he also looked like he was out shopping.

"Kawamura-kun. Mom, this is the junior who invited me to the sushi restaurant." Chihaya Kawasumi introduced.

"Ah. Hello, Auntie. Nice to meet you." Takashi Kawamura's surprise quickly faded, and more embarrassment appeared on his face.

Kawasumi Yuko looked at the two of them with deep meaning in his eyes, and then scanned Takashi Kawamura from top to bottom with the eyes of a "child mother". In her direct sight, Takashi Kawamura's originally rough nerves became When she became more delicate, the smile on her face was a little shy.Seeing such a smile, Kawasumi Yuko commented: "He is a good boy. He will definitely be a good husband in the future."

...is really a good husband.Chihaya agrees [-]% with what her mother said.

"Ah. The car is here. Chihaya, I'm leaving first, come back at night, if you can, bring me some sushi."

"Understood. I must bring delicious food back."

The taxi stopped at the front, and after putting everything into the trunk, the two watched Yuko Kawasumi leave.Then Chihaya Kawasumi looked at Takashi Kawamura, raised an eyebrow, "Kawamura-kun, let's go directly to your house."

Takashi Kawamura's eyes were slightly bent, and he nodded, "Ah."

The sunlight of the setting sun dyed the sky brilliantly red, and the street ahead as far as the line of sight seemed to be coated with a layer of warm color.Unexpectedly, the silence between the two of them at this time did not make Chihaya Kawasumi feel embarrassed, as if it was only natural, the peaceful tranquility dissipated in her heart little by little, dispelling the boredom and troubles lurking deep in her heart.

why?It's an amazing feeling... Chihaya Kawasumi looked down at the shadow reflected on the ground, but no matter how much he thought about it, he still couldn't figure it out.

"Kawasumi-san." Takashi Kawamura's voice was a little low, but still had the youthful astringency unique to teenagers, which was especially appropriate in such a quiet atmosphere.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Hehe, it's nothing, I just wonder if Kawasumi-san will feel embarrassed if he keeps silent like this.... But I don't know what to say, I'm a pretty boring person." The boy scratched his head and said.

In the past, Kawamura Takashi never thought about whether he was interesting to people, because in his daily life, his personality was enough to grasp interpersonal relationships, and he would not deliberately think about these... But at this moment, when walking with Kawasumi Chihaya At that time, this point appeared in his mind, and then he expressed it in a plain way.

Kawasumi Chihaya turned her head in a daze to look at Takashi Kawamura's face softened under the setting sun. The boy's face was full of the usual simple and honest smile. "It's not embarrassing, but I think it's good to be quiet like this. Kawamura-kun, when will you compete next time?" If you want to find a topic, let her, an older senior, think about it.And it can't be said that I was looking for it, it came naturally and blurted out.

"The next time will be the day after tomorrow. In fact, today is also a match, and the food tasting event can be regarded as a celebration for the tennis club." After Kawamura Takashi finished speaking, he was startled, because Kawasumi Chihaya actually reached out and wanted to take it from him. bag.

"I'll carry a few bags for you. I'm a little embarrassed just looking at it with ease."

"Ah, thanks."

When carrying the bag in his hand, Kawasumi Chihaya really felt that Takashi Kawamura's strength was too great, but the amount she carried was enough. Looking at the bags in his hand, there were not many but they were all big ones .

"If I have time, I will definitely watch the match. When will it start? Is it still at the tennis match venue?"

"It starts at nine o'clock. It's still the same place. Kawasumi-san, are you really okay?"

"I'm really not tired."

Takashi Kawamura looked ahead, heaved a sigh of relief and said, "But it's coming soon."

"Kawamura-kun, it seems that you have misunderstood me. I am not the kind of pampered and pampered girl. Although I haven't worked much, it is okay to endure hardship. When I was young, we can say that our family was poor, right? At that time, I was doing all the housework at home." By the time he realized what he was talking about, Chihaya Kawasumi could no longer stop his mouth.

She looked at the boy's slightly surprised expression, then the boy smiled, and heard the boy say softly: "That's my misunderstanding." There were no other words like "sorry" and "hard work", just such a simple sentence.

At this time, the boy's smile under the setting sun was a little less childish and honest. She couldn't analyze what kind of smile it was, but felt that the curvature of Takashi Kawamura's mouth slightly touched his heart. ...What, the beating of the heart, heh, it must be an illusion.At this time, Kawasumi Chihaya thought so.

"By the way, what does Kawasumi-san like to eat? I can make it if I have the ingredients."

"I don't have any specific favorites. As long as it's food, I like most of it." She grinned.Then Takashi Kawamura laughed even louder.

"arrive."
