Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home

  Chapter 731 Bitter plan

  The last afternoon of vacation.

  Shi Yu casually changed into a casual outfit and walked downstairs from the apartment.

   "Xiaoshi?" Kato Yusuke was still staying here, and ran up the first time he saw her.

  It rained this morning, and the cool grass and soil smell very pleasant.

  His hair was a little frizzy due to the humidity, and his clothes were also slightly damp. The rainwater left around the shoes had dried up, leaving only a circle of mottled marks.

  Shi Yu looked him up and down unobtrusively, not too surprised by this. After all, when he was in the rain downstairs, she was also watching upstairs.

   "Xiaoshi, do you want to go out?"

   Kato Yusuke rubbed his hands on the clothes, with a little caution in his dark eyes, he called her name as if he wanted to say something.

  Shi Yu curled her lips lightly, did not respond to his words, but just raised her feet and walked in a certain direction.

  There are not many pedestrians on the street at this time, and the warm and humid wind brings a sultry summer night atmosphere. A few wild cats wandered among the bushes in the green belt, yawning with their mouths wide open.

  She strolled along the path dyed red by the setting sun, walked along this path for about 20 minutes, and then came to a small bridge nearby.

  The cherry blossom trees on both sides of the small bridge extend straight to the distance, and below is the quiet and elegant Kanda River. The gurgling water gently washes the weeds, exuding an atmosphere of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle.

  Shi Yu stopped suddenly, turned around, and asked the person who had been following her: "What are you following me for?"

   "...Xiaoshi." Kato Yusuke looked into her eyes with a flattering smile on his face, "Can we talk?"

  There was a stiffness in his demeanor and movements, as if he was not used to doing this kind of thing.

  Shi Yu sneered and hugged her chest, her eyes were full of mockery: "I have nothing to talk about with the scumbag."

   "But today seems to be the first time you've been out this week..."

   "The air is fine today, I'm going out for a walk to get some fresh air."

   "Well, but there is a park downstairs from your house, right?" Kato Yusuke said while looking around, his eyes seemed to ask "why look far away?".

   "—"

  Shi Yu's eyes flickered, and he said with a straight face: "I just walked around casually, and I came here without knowing it."

   "This place is quite suitable for conversation." Kato Yusuke asked cautiously: "Can you give me a little time? Xiaoshi."

   "What?" The girl raised her chin and said mockingly, "Didn't you walk very smartly when you went to find that woman? Now you want to talk again?"

   "Uh, it's not very chic, is it...?" Kato Yusuke scratched his cheek, and took two steps forward.

   "Don't come here!" Shi Yu immediately stopped him: "If you have something to say, just stand there and say it, don't come near me."

   "Xiaoshi..." Kato Yusuke was taken aback for a moment, and with a wry smile, he raised his hands and returned to their original positions, "I'm sorry, don't get excited, I just listen to you."

  His eyes were wet, like an abandoned puppy, looking pitiful.

  Shiyu felt a little shaken in her heart, but compared with her huge dissatisfaction, this emotion was like an insignificant dust, so she didn't take any action.

   "Stop pretending for me over there." She squeezed her arms hard and asked in a serious tone: "Haven't you already made your choice? Why come to me, a woman who was abandoned by you?"

   "Xiaoshi, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that."

  Yusuke Kato explained with sincere eyes: "I was wrong about what happened that day. I just went to the association to check the situation, and I didn't do anything to apologize to you."

  Shi Yu stared at him, the fierceness in his heart turned into a voice:

   "No matter how nice you say, it can't change the fact that you left me to find that woman. Don't think that I will forgive you easily!"

  Kato Yusuke opened his mouth, lowered his head, speechless.

   After a while, he raised his head again, and said with a lonely expression: "Well, Xiaoshi, you are right, everything is my fault, I'm sorry."

  Shi Yu's eyes were as cold as ice, and his voice became colder than ever before, "I've already done what I'm sorry for, so don't say anything if I'm sorry?"

  Kato Yusuke was silent for a while, then asked in a low voice: "...What should I do? To get your forgiveness?"

   "Forgive you?" Shi Yu frowned in disgust, as if seeing something dirty, and the corner of his mouth curled up in a contemptuous arc.

   "Stop dreaming, I can't accept you physically now. If you are really willing to do anything for me, can you please disappear from my eyes immediately? I am upset when I see your face."

  She deliberately chose harsh words, pretending to be the bad queen in a fairy tale, without a trace of warmth in her eyes.

   Kato Yusuke's body shook violently, as if stung by her explicit words, his face immediately turned extremely pale.

  Shi Yu's eyes sparkled with joy, she straightened her back, stepped forward with both feet in a dignified posture, and hardly looked at him who was frozen in place.

   When passing by, she also silently estimated the time for him to catch up in her heart.

  She believed that he would definitely catch up.

  After all, he had been guarding downstairs of her house for a week, and faced with the reconciliation signal he released this time, he really had no reason to give up.

   As for whether Kato Yusuke was hurt because of this, this kind of thing is not in her consideration at all.

   Who told him to do such an excessive thing before, even if he cleans him up, it is only right.

   One step, two steps, three steps, someone didn't move.

   Four steps, five steps, six steps, someone still hasn't caught up.

  Shi Yu frowned lightly, murmured in his heart, and unconsciously slowed down his pace.

   Just when she hesitated to take the next step—

   "Plop!"

  The sound of something heavy falling into the water suddenly reached her ears.

"-Eh?"

  Shiyu turned around abruptly, how could Kato Yusuke be there?

  Her eyes tightened, and she immediately rushed to the side of the guardrail, stuck her head out and stared under the bridge.

  I saw a head sinking slowly on the calm surface of the Kanda River, and there was no sign of struggle at all.

   "Yu-chan—!?"

  Shi Yu yelled out instinctively, and an indescribable fear surged in her heart, making her feel cold all over.

  Her head thumped, and she subconsciously threw the bag on her shoulder to the ground. Without thinking about anything, she jumped over the railing and jumped down.

   "Crack!"

   There was a loud sound of water, and the cold water rushed towards her from all directions.

   "Yu Jiang!" Shi Yu splashed the water indiscriminately, searching for someone's trace in a panic, her heart was beating like a drum, and her heart was full of fear and anxiety.

  Her complexion was pale, without a trace of blood on her face, and her pupils were dilated with fear.

  The cold river water splashed her cheeks, dripping down mixed with cold sweat, but she didn't care about face at all, just pawing back and forth with both hands.

   Just as she took a deep breath and was about to dive underwater, a pair of strong arms suddenly embraced her from behind.

   "Little poem." The boy's calm voice sounded in his ears, with a strange and soothing power, "Okay, okay, it's okay, I'm here."

   "Yu... sauce...?"

  Shi Yu murmured tremblingly, turned her head slowly mechanically, and looked behind.

  —The face that caught my eyes was all too familiar.

  In the eyes blurred by tears, she and his eyes met.

  Yusuke Kato looked at her with complex eyes, filled with self-blame and guilt at the same time.

  Shi Yu didn't understand what happened at all, he just opened his mouth wide and stared at him blankly.

   "...Why?" She murmured unconsciously, almost speaking in a breathy voice, her confused brain hadn't understood the situation yet, and she didn't have the usual alertness at all.

  She originally wanted to take the opportunity to hit someone, but the other person jumped into the river after being hit. This heavy fact messed up her mind.

  The person she regards as the only one whom she loves deeply jumps into the river in front of her...

  Recalling the mood at that moment, black despair emerged from the soles of his feet again.

   "Woo."

  Her knees trembled, her whole body suddenly lost strength, she slid precariously, and was stabilized by a pair of strong hands.

   "Xiaoshi!" Kato Yusuke asked anxiously, "What's wrong with you? Did you get hurt somewhere?"

   "...let me go." Shi Yu let out a deep breath, her voice was a little weak, but she resolutely asked: "Say! Why did you jump into the river just now?"

   "This..." Kato Yusuke replied with a wry smile, "Because you said Xiaoshi and made me disappear immediately, I think it will be faster."

  Shi Yu's eyes widened in shock, her body trembling uncontrollably.

  What kind of reason is this—?

  How can there be such a—!

   "... what are you doing!"

  She broke free from his arm, turned to face him, and asked through gritted teeth, "What are you kidding? If I tell you to die, will you go too?"

   "Yes." Kato Yusuke nodded slightly, his sincere eyes did not seem to be fake.

  Shi Yu was taken aback for a moment, then felt a burning pain in his chest, and the emotions hidden deep in his heart began to rush out.

  She clenched her teeth angrily, almost screaming to vent her emotions.

   "What the **** are you doing! Do you think bullying me is fun? Why are you so cruel to me!

   How is this? How is this! From before, the person who is by your side has always been me! Why are you doing this to me! "

  She hammered the person in front of her hard time and time again, wantonly venting her grievances.

   And Kato Yusuke just stood there quietly, bearing all this silently.

   "Kato Yusuke, I hate you..."

  Shi Yu lowered her head and bent her back, her thin butterfly bones protruding through her clothes, and tears dripped down her cheeks.

   "...Obviously you already have the four of us, and I also accepted Shinjo-san and Benizaka Akane, aren't you satisfied?"

  The fiery words turned into raindrops, causing Kato Yusuke a tingling pain in his heart, and he was speechless.

  He pursed his lips bitterly, regretting the bitter trick he had made.

  He jumped down because he knew his physical fitness well. However, Shiyu definitely didn't think so much at the time, and he jumped down simply because he was worried about his safety.

  Although the river bed here is not deep, the water is not turbulent, and there is no danger of drowning, the meaning behind this behavior is extremely important.

  Sometimes when I think about it, for a broken person like Kato Yusuke, it is really hard for those who love him to pick up pieces to love him.

   "...I'm sorry, Poem."

  He gently lifted the girl's chin, gently wiped away the tears on that face with his fingers, and said softly, "I'm sorry for letting you meet a ruined person like me."

  Shi Yu looked at him with teary eyes, blinked her eyes hard, and sniffed her nose, "But as I said, the ruins you are talking about are the castles in my mind."

   Kato Yusuke was in a daze for a moment, and couldn't help but open his arms and hug her tightly. Shi Yu's body trembled, but this time he didn't push him away.

  She lowered her head, resting her head on his strong chest, clutching his shirt with both hands as if asking for help, choking slightly.

   "...Really, don't hurt me anymore."

  Under the breeze of the setting sun, these words floated into Kato Yusuke's ears.

  The mirror-like river reflects the bright red sky.

   The slanting light shines on the back of the building, dragging out the shadows of the old elders, and slowly blooming in the sunset.

   Until the sky completely darkened, they maintained this posture without moving.

  …

   Later.

   Two people climbed up the river bank and returned to the bridge just now.

  Shiwa, who had cried a lot, was in a slightly better mood.

  She pulls a sports towel from her bag and wipes her hair.

   This towel was originally prepared by her for worrying that someone would get wet in the rain, but unexpectedly it came in handy now.

  Her hair and face were covered with mud, and even the underwear under the short-sleeved blouse was exposed, clearly outlining her slim figure.

   Fortunately, this place is relatively remote, and almost no one passes by.

  Yusuke Kato looked away in embarrassment, pretending to look at the Kanda River in the distance, and said without words:

   "I'm sorry, Xiaoshi, I made your clothes dirty. I'll send you back after you finish wiping your hair. You should take a shower as soon as you get home."

  Shi Yu glanced at him indifferently, "My parents are at home, guess how they will react when they see their daughter who is supposed to go out to find her boyfriend and come home like this?"

  Yusuke Kato imagined the scene for a while, felt a chill on the back of his neck for no reason, swallowed secretly, and asked cautiously: "Uh...do you want to go to my house first?"

   "Okay, I don't care, as long as you don't mind your girlfriend being viewed as adulterous by other men."

"What??"

   "Is there something wrong? After all, my house and your house are in the opposite direction, and we are now wet again. The tram is the only feasible means of transportation, right?"

  Shi Yu spoke calmly, as if he had completely regained his usual calmness, using satirical techniques with perfect proficiency.

  Kato Yusuke knew that she hadn't completely calmed down, so he touched his nose angrily, and then thought of other ways.

  At this time—

   "...Can't we just go to the hotel?"

"Um??"

   "You can take a shower or wash clothes over there, right?" Shiyu said calmly while wiping her wet hair with a towel.

  She lowered her head, her face was covered by hair and a towel, making it difficult to see her expression clearly, but the red tips of her ears revealed her shyness.

   Kato Yusuke couldn't figure out what she was thinking for a moment, and asked cautiously: "Well, Xiaoshi thinks it's okay...?"

  Shi Yu was silent for a while: "Just take me home before ten o'clock."

   Kato Yusuke was stunned when he heard this, and then took out his phone to check the time.

  Tokyo time, 18:05.

  Is this condition a bit loose...?

  Shi Yu glanced at him a little irritably, "If you don't want to, I can go by myself."

  Yusuke Kato was taken aback again, and said with widened eyes, "I'll go."

   After all, the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard.

  …
