316, Preparation before departure (4k)(1/2)
In fact, before the two met, Ogiwara Kazusa's understanding of Yusuke was limited to some information collected by private detectives.
Apart from thinking that he was an excellent young man, he actually didn't pay much attention to him. He was even quite dissatisfied with him for helping to hide his sister, so he even thought of teaching him a lesson.
However, after communicating face-to-face in person, he discovered that the other person was far from what he had imagined. He was a high school student who could be manipulated at will.
Not only is he capable of easily defeating professional bodyguards in terms of combat power, but his words and deeds are not as childish as those of a student, but full of maturity and stability.
It even made him feel as if he was facing an adult. It was very strange, but it was something that people dare not underestimate.
Then he hesitated and asked: "Well, what are you talking about?"
Faced with Ogiwara Kazusa's inquiry, Kato Yusuke responded without thinking.
"We made a promise to go to Hokkaido together."
"Hey, you actually said to go together!?" Ogiwara Kazusa suddenly showed a dumbfounded expression.
It’s not surprising that he was so gaffe-like, because Yusuke’s words were so impactful that anyone in such a state would have such a reaction.
This sentence not only means that the other party intends to interfere in his own family affairs, but also plans to visit his mother in his hometown in person, and it seems that he wants to see it through to the end, even though the two parties have never met before.
This made him feel very incredible, and he immediately thought of the possible impact of this incident.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Kato Yusuke asked.
"It's not so much that there's a problem... To be honest, I don't know what to say at all." Yi Sa held her chin in thought and slowly shook her head, looking straight at him with her eyes without any hint of teasing.
"You're not joking about this, right?"
"I never joke with strangers."
"Does your family agree with this?"
Yusuke raised the corner of his mouth with a hint of meaning, "Since you have already done an investigation on me, then my uncle must also know about my situation, so this is not a problem."
"I'm sorry... I've caused you trouble." Yisha lowered her head with difficulty. After a few seconds, she looked at the two of them alternately and said hesitantly: "Let me confirm... the relationship between the two of you should be...
You haven’t reached that point yet?”
The room suddenly became quiet.
Yusuke and Sayu looked at each other and exchanged glances.
"I am, Yusuke's girlfriend!"
The girl blushed and said, looking at her brother without blinking.
"Really...that's it." Yi Sa smiled bitterly and nodded, sighing slightly: "Then Sayu doesn't think it's okay? Let Kato-kun intervene in our family affairs."
After being asked this question, Sayu glanced uneasily at the boy next to her. It happened that Kato Yusuke was also looking at her and gave her a gentle smile in return.
"Yeah!" She took a breath and nodded vigorously, "That way... I will feel more at ease."
"That's it... I understand." Yi Sa, who witnessed this scene, murmured, and then said slowly: "You seem to be able to speak more clearly than before."
His expression was gentler than before, but it was also mixed with a hint of indescribable loneliness. This was probably due to the gratification of the role of "brother". Yusuke couldn't help but think like this, he was too fond of this cheap uncle.
One point of recognition.
"Hmm... maybe." Sayu lowered his gaze as if embarrassed, and suddenly felt a pang of guilt in his heart.
"To be honest, it's really embarrassing to let Kato-kun interfere with our family's affairs, and it's unknown how my mother will react to this..."
"However, it is also necessary for me to give Sayu the courage to go home, so thank you very much." Having said this, Ogiwara Kazusa bent down and bowed to Yusuke.
"This is just for Sayu, so there's no need to be like this." Kato Yusuke shook his head, his expression very calm, but Issa still felt a kind of determination and courage from those words.
"For Sayu...I understand."
He murmured deeper and lowered his voice and said, "Thank you for... cherishing Sayu so much. Thank you very much."
"Brother... I'm sorry." Sayu murmured softly, her eyes slightly red, and she held Yusuke's sleeves with her hands.
Yusuke patted her hand gently to express comfort, and then said to Yi Sa: "Please raise your head, thank you for agreeing to my request, and... I am also sorry about Mr. Lin and the others."
The other party couldn't help but smile bitterly, straightened up his upper body, hesitated a few times, and then took a deep breath.
"Actually, regarding that matter..."
Just when he was trying to say something...
"Since it's a misunderstanding, forget it, uncle." Kato Yusuke interrupted him directly and looked at him deeply.
Being swept away by that deep gaze, Ogiwara Kazusa instantly felt as if someone had seen through him. He couldn't help but shuddered in his heart and fell into silence.
Then he nodded again, calmed down and said, "Well, I'm sorry... but fortunately, Mr. Lin's doctor said it's nothing serious. He just needs to recover for a while and it won't have much impact on the future."
"Really, that's good." Yusuke agreed indifferently, then asked: "So, when will we leave for Hokkaido?"
This happy attitude made Yi Sa slightly stunned, but he immediately reacted and said after pondering for a while: "Yes, although I also think that I should go back as soon as possible, but is there no problem here, Kato-kun?"
"I'll take care of the details later. I'll just cooperate with you when the time comes."
"Is that so... Sayu?" Yi Sa turned her gaze to the side.
"……Um."
Sayu nodded with a subtle expression as a response.
"Okay, I understand." Yi Sa seemed to be relieved, her expression relaxed, and then she thought for a while and said, "If you can accept it, can we leave on the flight tomorrow morning?"
"good."
"……knew."
The two responded together.
Ogiwara Kazusa stood up from the ground after looking at them, "Then I'll go to the hospital first. I'll ask the secretary to handle the air tickets. Today you guys..."
Looking at the only double bed in the room, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, but after all, he still didn't say the words "have a good rest".
In the end, he just shook his head with a wry smile, said hello to the two of them, and hurriedly left the apartment, arranging for the driver to go to the hospital.
As the door closed with a click, the room fell into silence again.
"...Then, continue to eat?"
"After what happened just now, I suddenly feel no longer hungry."
"Me too……"
When they returned to the living room, the two of them sat on the carpet, leaning against the bed, both speechless for a moment.
"that……"
"Um?"
Sayu slowly leaned her head on his shoulder and said in a tone like the setting sun: "I can only stay one more night, this home."
"It's just temporary, and it's not like I can't come back." Kato Yusuke said with a smile.
"...can you come back?" the girl murmured.
"Of course, it's better to say that I'm going there just for this reason."
"Huh?"
"Find a way to convince your mother to agree to your transfer to Tokyo to study. That's what I'm thinking about."
"That kind of thing-"
When he finished saying this, Sayu looked up at him with a hesitant expression, and then immediately lowered his gaze, repeating this process many times.
"...can it really be done?"
Kato Yusuke joked unhurriedly: "You are young and rich, and you are a handsome and handsome son-in-law. I don't think he will be rejected in any case, right?"
Instead of blaming her as usual, the girl just shook her head slightly and said, "That's because you don't understand her..."
"Whether you understand it or not, there are some things that you have to do, otherwise there will be no hope at all, right?" Yusuke narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the entrance in a daze, and said directly.
There was a moment of silence.
"that……"
Sayu opened and closed his mouth, and then said as if he had made up his mind: "...You didn't ask about my past..."
"Do you want to say it?" Kato Yusuke paused and said.
"Yeah!" Sayu made a swallowing motion and nodded.
"Please listen to...my story so far..."
The words were full of tension, and the voice was trembling slightly.
Kato Yusuke put his arm around her shoulders and realized that the girl's body was very stiff at this time, so he began to massage her gently to slowly relax her.
"Sorry, I'm a little nervous."
"You don't have to force yourself. It doesn't matter if you don't say it."
"No, I have to say."
Thinking that he was going to give himself a shot, Sayu took a deep breath and his eyes gradually became firm.
To be continued...
