Tokyo host

Chapter 254 Big or Small
"It's really a troublesome thing, it's a big crisis on Merlin Street." Over seventy years old, the old man selling taiyaki on the street corner crossed his arms and sighed deeply.

Although he can retire long ago at his age, but now, he just can't let go of his neighbors and old customers - he naturally can't bear to see Merlin Street decline, but the government's move to support the commercial street next door is undoubtedly It would be a devastating blow to Merrion Street.

"I also understand everyone's thoughts, and... as a person living on the street, I am naturally aware of the crisis on Merlin Street this time."

Morning Mu said, other people's faces were also full of sorrow.

"If the flow of customers cannot keep up, it will be difficult to guarantee the freshness of the ingredients. At that time, the old customers may not be able to be retained." The middle-aged aunt of the fast food restaurant also expressed what everyone is worried about, that is It is impossible to keep old customers. After all, once the climate is formed on the other side, coupled with the vicious circle on this side, old customers will definitely be lost by a large margin.

Everyone left and right, as if the end is coming.

But there is no doubt that the situation at hand is not much better than the end.

The first meeting was quickly disbanded, and no one came up with a good plan after discussing it. Obviously, they all looked a little sad.

Although Makoto Futaba does not open a shop on Meilin Street to make money, but as a person who grew up here, he would naturally want to help. After all, the neighbors here are like family members.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Futaba Makoto couldn't help thinking.

Kaoru Suzuki sitting next to him was obviously very quiet, the amber color shimmered, as if he was thinking about something.

"Cheng-kun." After seeing everyone leaving in a hurry, Zao Mu and Aunt Keiko smiled at Futaba Makoto who was not far away, and then waved.

"come over."

"Happy New Year, Uncle, Aunt Keiko." Futaba Makoto came back to his senses, he scratched his head, "I don't seem to have brought any presents."

Zaoqianmu didn't mind this at all. At this time, Aunt Huizi got up and took out a few white paper bags from the cabinet behind her: "Here, Mr. Cheng, this year's lucky money."

The paper bag is not big, with exquisite patterns and blessings on it. It can also be called a red envelope, but it is basically white.

Shuangye Cheng can receive a red envelope from the Zao family every year. After all, the Zao couple treat him as their own child. Of course, the amount of the red envelope varies every year.

There has always been a formula for the amount of New Year's money here, which is roughly the age divided by two and multiplied by [-] yen. Makoto Futaba has about [-] to [-] yen in his bag.

"Thank you." Makoto Futaba accepted it gratefully.

"Dad, where's mine!" Nana left in the morning and raised her hand. She and Futaba Makoto both went to Tokyo during the Chinese New Year, so naturally they didn't get any red envelopes.

"What's the hurry, of course you have it, here it is."

After Aunt Keiko gave Morning Nana, the girl suddenly became happy.

"Come on, Suzuki-chan." Keiko Harono also prepared a letter for Kaoru Suzuki, but the amount in it was not much, unlike Makoto Futaba and Nana in the early morning.

Kaoru Suzuki was surprised that she could receive the red envelope. After she subconsciously took it, she looked at the orchid and the blessing on the cover for several seconds.

"what happened?"

"Ah, I just didn't think I could have it, thank you." Kaoru Suzuki bent down slowly, thanking you politely.

Zao Mu smiled and said, "I heard from my daughter that you take good care of them at home, and we should be the ones thanking you."

"Nana and Yuko are both mature and sensible, so we can't talk about taking care of them." Kaoru Suzuki smiled slightly.

After finishing speaking, Yuko and Nana in the morning felt embarrassed. In fact, they had nothing to do with being mature and sensible. After being praised by Kaoru Suzuki, they immediately became shy.

Morning's parents also tacitly agreed not to let Nana and Yuko move back. Naturally, after Morning's leg healed, it seemed as if she had allowed her daughter to live with Makoto Futaba by default.

After all, they also know that Futaba Makoto's family now has a lot of excellent girls, so they know very well the truth of being close to the water.

After chatting with Morning Morning's parents about interesting things about Tokyo, Futaba Makoto and the others planned to leave Morning Morning's house. After all, they had just returned to Fuyuki City, and everyone was quite tired from the car ride, so they planned to take a good rest.

In the morning, the sisters seemed to plan to spend more time with their parents because they hadn't been at home for too long, so they didn't go back to Xiaoxiongzhuang tonight.

Makoto Futaba has no objection. Anyway, the two families are close to each other, so it doesn't matter where they sleep or live, as long as it doesn't affect the income of the system.

Of course, at most alone at night.

After leaving the morning home with Kaoru Suzuki, Futaba Makoto glanced at the street he was familiar with, bent his fingers, and tapped his chin: "Hmm..."

"Still thinking about what happened just now?" Kaoru Suzuki asked as if he could understand Makoto Futaba's thoughts.

"Well, I want to help, although I know it may not be effective." Makoto Futaba nodded, his strength alone was still a little weak.

Kaoru Suzuki turned his head: "Go to that street to see?"

"888th Street?"

"Ah."

Considering that he might be able to get some useful information, Futaba Makoto nodded without hesitation, "Okay."

888 Street is only a few hundred meters away from Meilin Commercial Street. It can be described as a real competitor. Compared with the various old stores in Meilin Commercial Street, 888 Commercial Street is basically full of various big-name chain stores, which also represents It is more attractive to tourists and young people.

"The flow of people is no less than that of Merlin." Futaba Cheng watched the people coming and going on the road, and couldn't help sighing.

Sure enough, commercialization is the final form.

"It is estimated that this place will become the second nine pigeons, if this continues." Suzuki Kaoru said.

"Yeah." Futaba Makoto didn't deny it, but Jiu Ge made the mascot bigger, so it's kind of interesting in Xiaokuumachi.

"There are so many couples."

After Makoto Futaba noticed that most of the people coming and going were couples, he subconsciously glanced at Kaoru Suzuki.

"What?" Suzuki asked.

"It's okay, I said, do we look like a pair of spies?" Makoto Futaba said with a smile.

"Is it a house game?"

"Your statement is too much. We also need a sense of ritual to spy on intelligence." Makoto Futaba coughed, "For example, we are pretending to be lovers now."

Suzuki Kaoru's amber eyes flashed a hint of thought-provoking: "Oh?"

"So, should we get closer?" Makoto Futaba said,
"For example, come closer, or hold hands..."

Before Futaba Makoto could finish speaking, there was a soft touch from her elbow. Kaoru Suzuki stretched out his arm to wrap his arm around him, and with the other hand, he brushed his temple hair behind his ears to reveal the snow-white nape of his neck. Turning his face to Futaba Makoto, he smiled and squinted and asked, "Is that so?"

Futaba Makoto came back to his senses and nodded subconsciously.

It seems... This is not bad, although it is not that big, it is also considered to have a special charm.

"Futaba, are you thinking about something very rude?" Kaoru Suzuki saw through it at a glance, and then let go of his hand very simply, "Actually, we can also play siblings."

"Ah, you misunderstood me, and, am I older than you?"

"Then do you like the big one or the small one?" Kaoru Suzuki asked in a flat tone, but Futaba Makoto sensed danger inexplicably.

Makoto Futaba smiled: "I like them all."

"Uninteresting answer." Kaoru Suzuki shook his head, then turned and walked towards a shop.

"and many more……"

After entering the store, Makoto Futaba found that the store sold dolls, and Kaoru Suzuki was squatting in the corner at this time, observing a panda doll.

It seems that Kaoru Suzuki didn't intend to hide the fact that he likes dolls because he discovered his hobby when he went shopping to buy a mobile phone last time.

"Panda, it's quite cute." Futaba Makoto picked up the panda doll Suzuki Kaoru was looking at, and found that it was a limited product. The panda's body had a transparent plastic shell, which was round.

"Winter only." Kaoru Suzuki said, holding the doll with one hand.

Then she stroked the doll in her arms, and after feeling the soft touch, Kaoru Suzuki's expression gradually relaxed.

Sure enough, this guy is still difficult to understand.

Standing on the side, Makoto Futaba saw the posture of the little girl Kaoru Suzuki, and couldn't help thinking.

Sometimes she is a very young girl, sometimes she is very mature, sometimes she is very close to him, and sometimes she keeps a distance.

"Suzuki."

Futaba Makoto spoke.

Kaoru Suzuki looked up from the pile of dolls, and noticed Makoto Futaba's dignified face, she was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"You..." Futaba Makoto asked as if seeing through, "Do you have multiple personalities?"

Kaoru Suzuki: "..."

In the next second, a foolish look appeared on her face: "?"

The girl didn't say a single word, but the expression on her face and eyes had already expressed her full meaning.

"Have you had any nightmares recently?" Makoto Futaba squatted beside her and asked.

"Yeah." Kaoru Suzuki nodded.

"really……"

Because of the trip to Tokyo, Makoto Futaba also knew more about Kaoru Suzuki, presumably she would have nightmares, and it had nothing to do with the guy named Sato falling from the building and escaping.

"If you can't sleep, you can come to me." Makoto Futaba said.

Suzuki Kaoru heard the words, and a few seconds later, a strange smile suddenly appeared on her face: "During this period of time, your room is a bit noisy at night."

Makoto Futaba suddenly coughed and became a little embarrassed.

"Well, this is also normal." Makoto Futaba smiled.

"If there is an extra seat, or if I really can't sleep, I'll think about it again." Kaoru Suzuki said, and got up with the doll in his arms to check out.

Futaba Makoto looked at her back and had no choice but to stand up.

"A total of 800 yen."

"Ok."

But when she paid the money, Kaoru Suzuki noticed that she didn't bring her wallet.

"What's the matter, guest?"

"Ah, it's okay, this doll is still back..."

"Here, one thousand yen."

Makoto Futaba paid the money directly for Kaoru Suzuki, and then looked at her a little helplessly: "You idiot, just say no to me without your wallet."

Kaoru Suzuki didn't speak, and lowered his head like a child being taught a lesson, his amber eyes drooping and he didn't know what he was thinking.
