Chapter 147 Fast forward to meeting the parents.jpg

Nakashima Cafe is a cafe located in the bustling area of ​​Bunkyo District, Tokyo, Japan.

Compared with other business cafes, this cafe, which is mainly catered for private parties, family dinners, couple dates, etc., focuses on handcrafting and barista craftsmanship.

The decoration in the store is simple and comfortable, using materials such as logs, concrete and metal to create an excellent modern and industrial style. The comfortable seats and spacious dining space echo the warm lighting in the store, creating a relaxing and soothing atmosphere.

To the extreme.

In a sense, this cafe is indeed suitable for ‘family gatherings’.

Kitagawa Teru, who was sitting in the booth, retracted his gaze and turned his attention to the face of Morishima Yukie who had just returned from the bathroom.

This one-on-one meeting was suddenly proposed by Yuki Morishima two days ago. Kitagawa Cheru was initially hesitant about the request made by his partner's mother, but after seeing the look on the face of this internationally renowned musician

After a long interview, he finally agreed.

Morishima Yuki collected her mood, raised her eyebrows, and met Kitagawa Che's gaze, "Thank you Kitagawa-san for agreeing to my presumptuous request."

"..."

Kitagawa Che never expected that on this hot August afternoon, the first words he and his partner's mother would say when they met in private would be a most sincere thank you.

"This is a serious statement, Aunt Morishima." Kitagawa Che straightened his expression. After coming back to his senses, he quickly continued his conversation naturally, "Xuesha helped me a lot, this little thing is what I should do."

”

After struggling in Vanity Fair for so long, Morishima Yuki could tell that Che Kitagawa's tone was sincere and did not mean to say nice things.

Her expression became more relaxed.

As far as the first impression is concerned, Kitagawa Che left a good impression on her senses.

Withdrawing his gaze, Morishima Yuki lowered his eyebrows and stirred the small spoon in the coffee cup, "There is no right or wrong, just one code and one code."

After saying that, she chuckled lightly, with a hint of teasing in her tone, "Besides, Xuesha's statement doesn't match up with yours."

"What did Xuesha say?"

Kitagawa Che asked tentatively.

"She?" Morishima Yuki's face looked a little more disgusted, "She said you gave her a lot of help, allowing her to change some bad habits, and at the same time, she learned new skills from you.

——For example, the cooking skills she is passionate about now."

"No matter how good the teacher is, if the students don't listen, nothing can be done." Che said with a smile, "Xue Sha must be able to listen and have good understanding."

"It's not good to be too modest." Morishima Yuki raised her head, looked at Kitagawa Che in front of her, and got down to business, "I asked Kitagawa-san to come out this time because I have an unkind invitation."

"Can you tell me more specifically?"

Kitagawa Che held the coffee cup with a frosted outside with both hands and gently rubbed it.

After several "confrontations" with Rina Toshima, he has gradually regained his former "wariness" towards acquaintances.

"It's about the issue between Yukisa and I." Morishima Yuki was not surprised by Kitagawa Che's cautious answer. In her opinion, if Kitagawa Che agreed immediately, it would be completely unreliable.

, but it’s a pity that she didn’t understand this back then, “I... wasn’t very good at communicating with her.”

This was the opening statement she came up with after thinking about it in front of the mirror for a long time in front of the sink in the bathroom.

Instead of going around so many twists and turns, it’s better to be more straightforward.

After all, to put it bluntly, her position now is weaker than that of Kitagawa Che in front of her, and it was she who asked him for help.

Hearing this, Kitagawa Che raised his eyebrows, met Morishima Yuki's gaze, nodded, and motioned for her to continue.

"Ever since Xuesha left me, there seems to be a layer of separation between me and her. I want to care about her, get close to her, and understand her joys and sorrows, but I don't know where to start.

”

Speaking of this, a hint of bitterness flashed across Morishima Yuki's eyes.

In the past, when talking about this with her close friends, she would always say that she worked hard and often came home late because of this family. This is indeed an objective fact, but her own behavior is also problematic, which is also objective

Facts.

It's just that she always subconsciously ignored this at that time, and just thought that Xuesha could understand and tolerate her as a mother.

But problems can never be solved by avoiding the most important and taking the easy way out.

As a result, there were more and more misunderstandings and the cracks became deeper and deeper.

This year she finally woke up, but the distance between her and her daughter has already grown.

Kitagawa Che didn't rush to talk, but just listened silently.

When Morishima Yukisa was in class, she would occasionally mention some anecdotes about music with a smile, but when he asked where she knew these anecdotes, this girl with a good memory would always lower her eyebrows and look away.

, apologized in a low voice and said that he had forgotten.

He could see that this was not a matter of forgetting at all, but that she did not want to mention the issue of 'that person' in this memory.

However, if she really hated her to the core, she would not mention these things at all, let alone the lingering nostalgia in her eyes when she accidentally mentioned these things.

"I know, I am not a competent mother."

Morishima Yuki took a deep breath, gritted her back molars, and finally said these words.

Perhaps due to her self-esteem or part of her pride as a mother, she never mentioned this sentence in front of anyone.

Kitagawa Teru comforted Morijima Yuki, "No one is born a competent parent."

Taking a recent example as an example, even the Beiyuan couple, a standard model couple, did not know how to educate their children at the beginning.

Later, after Aunt Beiyuan began to take charge of family affairs wholeheartedly, she gradually learned how to communicate with Linyin, and then taught Uncle Beiyuan this communication method.

Of course, these were all told to him by Beiyuan Rinyin, who did not want to be named.

"No, I did too poorly. I didn't even get a passing grade."

Morishima Yuki shook her head.

The more her career improved, the lower the scores she handed in on the papers. On the contrary, during the most difficult period, she could barely get seventy points.

"So..." Morishima Yukie raised her head, her face that was so similar to Morishima Yukisa's was full of pleading, "I want you to help auntie, Yukisa... she can only listen to what you say now.

words."

From the past two days and the current observation, Morishima Yuki could see that although Kitagawa Cheru was her daughter's same age, her speech and behavior were quite mature and reliable, which allowed her to speak out when her emotions were over.

Here comes the next sentence.

In her original draft, she never thought of saying the following sentence.

"This matter." Kitagawa Che was silent for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and met Morishima Yuki's gaze, "Aunt Morishima, I can only say that I will try my best, okay?"

"Of course."

Morishima Yuki let out a long sigh of relief.

As long as Kitagawa Che is willing to help, that is the best thing.

Of course, even if Kitagawa Che refuses, she will try her best to communicate with her daughter. She wants to make up for her past mistakes.
