Chapter 430 Opportunity
Early summer afternoons always seem to have a touch of laziness.

It was obviously only 01:30 in the afternoon, but the crowd in the pedestrian street had shrunk by nearly [-]%. The street that was still crowded in the morning suddenly became deserted, with only a few passers-by holding umbrellas left.

The lane in front of the intersection not far away was still the same as before. There was a lot of traffic, and several cars were parked densely in front of the traffic light, waiting for the traffic light to change from red to green. The low sound of the engine was heard from time to time. The weather, which was not so hot, became inexplicably hot.

After paying the bill and coming out of the restaurant, Beichuan Che and his group were on their way home.

call.

After letting out a long breath, Beichuan Che stretched himself out and looked ahead.

The sun crossed the city skyline, passed through the gaps between high-rise buildings, and fell diagonally on the ground of the pedestrian street, leaving large spots of light that intersected with shadows.

At this moment, the flow of time seems to have slowed down, and the fast-paced modern city has finally ushered in a rare post-modern time of leisure.

"Comment on it."

After pulling Morishima Yukisha further into the shade, Morishima Yukie took the initiative to start a conversation among the three of them.

She was quite satisfied with the meal she had at noon today. Firstly, the price was moderate, and secondly, the taste of the food was beyond her expectation. It was a little surprise for her.

"What's the review?"

Morishima Yukisa was stunned for a moment, turned her eyebrows, and looked at her mother with a puzzled face.

She didn't quite get what her mother meant.

"The restaurant we went to today."

Morishima Yuki took her daughter's hand and pulled her closer to the shade.

Although today's sunshine has not brought with it the scorching heat of midsummer, it has already become hot.

"Hmm..." Yukisa Morishima considered her words, "I think it's okay?"

To be honest, the taste of the food in today's restaurant is pretty good among restaurants of the same level. However, the dishes my mother ordered have been better ones, so she can't help but feel disappointed in her heart. There will be some comparisons, and there is no doubt that it is a wonderful victory.

"Why does it sound so forced?" Morishima Yuki shook his head with a smile, then turned his head and looked at Kitagawa Che who was next to his daughter, "Where's Che? What do you think?"

The young man was standing in the sunshine at the moment.

Under the bright sunshine, his already handsome face was inexplicably more three-dimensional.

"Well, I think this restaurant is quite good." Kitagawa Che, who noticed Morishima Yuki's gaze, turned his head, met Morishima Yuki's gaze, and truthfully expressed his thoughts, "In the location Yes, in other words, in a place where the rent is not cheap, it is very difficult to be able to provide such high-quality cuisine at a relatively affordable price.

"In my case, if calculated on a 85-point scale, it can get at least [-] points."

If he were to run this restaurant and be the chef, he wouldn't be able to give a better answer.

Of course, if Miao was willing to be the chef, that would be another matter.

Maybe, their store will become famous as quickly as possible, and then become one of the most beautiful scenery in this commercial street.

"The evaluation is so high?"

A flash of surprise flashed across Morishima Yuki's eyes.

Her precious daughter had told her before that Kitagawa Che was a person who knew that money was hard to make. When she heard this sentence, she nodded in agreement on her face, but there was a murmur in her heart. .

How can a young man who has never been in society or been severely beaten by society understand the meaning of the words "money is hard to make".

Not to mention that he has already made some achievements in music.

But now it seems that her daughter's words were quite sincere.

This guy doesn't feel arrogant at all after suddenly making money. On the contrary, he understands life quite well and knows that many things are not easy.

"At least that's how it works here."

Kitagawa Che nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

He understands that doing business is not easy, especially in the catering industry. If he wants to be honest, he will either increase the unit price of the dishes or lower the quality of the ingredients while the portion remains unchanged. It is quite rare to be able to make a choice under such circumstances and choose to reduce profits and keep the weight the same.

This is especially true in such highly competitive areas.

However, precisely because of this, the business of that store was quite good. When they came out of the store, there was even a long queue outside the store.

"You mean, do you plan to come again in the future?"

Morishima Yuki chuckled lightly and asked along the lines.

The daughter doesn't have to ask questions, but since she, as a mother, has already dated her daughter's sweetheart, she has to help her daughter fiercely.

"Yes."

Kitagawa Che has already thought about inviting everyone at home to have a meal at this restaurant at the end of this month or the beginning of next month.

"Then can you bring this little stuffy jar of mine with you?" Yukie Morishima blinked, with a look of helplessness on her face, "She has that kind of temper. If no one asks her out, , she can stay at home throughout the summer vacation."

Through the exchanges just now at the table, she understood Beichuan Che better and better.

This young man is a representative figure who takes soft things rather than hard ones, just like her back then.

But, whether in career or in dealing with people, Kitagawa Che is much better than she was when she was young.

"mom!"

Before Kitagawa Che could say anything, Morishima Yukisa said something coquettishly, then raised her thin lips in dissatisfaction, and gently squeezed the hand held by her mother and herself.

Although what her mother said was correct, she still felt a little embarrassed to say this in front of Beichuan Che.

"Sorry sorry."

Morishima Yuki raised her other free hand very cooperatively, indicating that she knew her mistake and chose to surrender.

However, the corner of her sight still fell on Beichuan Che's face.

Playing around with my daughter is all about playing around, but I still need the answers I need.

Kitagawa Che has such a temperament. If he doesn't seize this opportunity, it will be too late if his precious daughter wants to find another opportunity.

"It's fine."

Beichuan Che nodded happily.

Whether it is for Rinne or Miao, the relationship between them and Xuesa is good. For group activities like this, they would not have any objections if they invited Xuesa.

He was even more worried that two days in advance, Linyin was still discussing with him how soon it would be appropriate to call Xuesa over to have a casual meal together.

"Then I'll thank you for Xue Sha."

Morishima Yuki took up the conversation cheerfully.

She had gotten the answer she wanted, and the rest of the time could be spent chatting slowly.

"What's the point of thanking you?" Kitagawa Che shook his head, "It's about the extra pairs of chopsticks."

Just talking about this point, whether before or after time travel, he is actually the same.

"Okay." Morishima Yukie nodded heavily, then turned his eyebrows calmly and looked at his baby daughter, "Speaking of which, I saw a book on your desk before, " Love Letter, right?"

To be precise, she saw it during the winter vacation.

For some reasons, she did not choose to ask in detail, but secretly remembered the name of the novel. Before leaving Japan, she bought a copy of the same book in a bookstore outside the airport.

Later, because of her busy work, she never had time to read this book.

Until the middle of last month, her work for the first half of the year came to an end temporarily, and she had free time. When she was bored, she started reading this "Love Letter".

then……

It was out of control.

"……Yes."

Morishima Yukisa was stunned at first, then immediately glanced at Kitagawa Che. After confirming that the latter's expression had not changed, she honestly admitted it like a child who had been caught doing something bad.

"Love Letters is the best novel I've read this year."

Morishima Yuki didn't notice the change in her precious daughter's expression. She just considered the words and then gave a very high evaluation.

As for "Norwegian Wood", that was last year's book, so it definitely cannot be listed with this year's novels.

The novel "Love Letter" really gave her a big surprise.

At first, looking at the simple cover, she thought it was just an ordinary novel. Then, as she read gradually, her mind unknowingly became obsessed with that novel. In the author's writing, he begins to empathize with the characters, and then gets deeply involved in the story.

"none of them?"

Morishima Yuksa asked curiously.

Her mother has a habit of reading, but because she has become more famous and busier at work in recent years, her mother has less and less private time. As a last resort, her mother can only temporarily put down her reading habit. interest. "none of them."

Morishima Yukie answered without hesitation.

"..."

Hearing this, Yukisha Morishima fell silent. She nodded, then lowered her eyebrows and glanced at her partner secretly.

In this regard, he is really versatile.

"Have A Che read that book?"

Seeing that his daughter didn't answer, Morishima Yuki turned the topic to Kitagawa Teru.

"Seen."

Beichuan Che nodded, but his expression became subtle unconsciously.

Not only has he seen it, but he has seen it and cannot see it again.

"What do you think of this book, Ah Che?"

Morishima Yuki looked at Kitagawa Che with interest, waiting for his comments.

The three of them had unknowingly walked through the commercial street and arrived on the sidewalk near the residential area.

"……good."

Kitagawa Che hesitated for a moment before giving such an evaluation.

His partner knew that he was the author of this book, and he was not in the habit of bragging about himself, so he could only give such an evaluation.

"Is it just okay?"

Hearing this, Morishima Yuki looked back with some disappointment.

She didn't want to argue with Kitagawa Che and tell him how good this book was. After all, if some people like a book, some people will not like it. Instead of forcing people who don't like it to like it, it's better to just click through and stop talking. In this way, others will be happy and you won't be too angry, because everyone likes different types, and you can't force it.

"Well...because there is still some regret inside."

Kitagawa Che laughed and gave a vague answer.

"Novel is just a novel. Just take care of your life and don't leave anything behind..." Morishima Yuki suddenly realized something. She turned her head and looked at the couple holding hands across the street, their faces filled with famous expressions. With a happy smile, she hesitated for a moment, then changed her words, "Just don't have too many regrets."

Regret is inevitable.

Who can completely avoid regrets?

"But then again." Morishima Yuki chuckled, and quickly adjusted his mood, "When it comes to novels, we have to mention the author. Compared with stars and actors who are not so free, well-known The author is much more chic. Whether it is the media or the public, everyone is quite tolerant of them.

“In a sense, they should be the most chic among celebrities.

“The only thing is that the confidence of their speeches all comes from their own works.

“In other words, they are on their own.

"If inspiration dries up, then..."

Morishima Yuki didn't finish her words, but the implication was quite clear.

In so many years of life, she has seen many authors who suffered from exhaustion of inspiration. When she was young, her thoughts were clearly flowing, but once she reached that age, her body functions gradually slowed down along with her thoughts. I can't write anything anymore. In the end, no matter how much I like writing, I can only leave sadly.

"I don't think the author of "Love Letter" will run out of inspiration easily." Yukisha Morishima glanced at her mother and said with certainty, "You know, the one I won before "Love Letter" "Norwegian Wood" by Naoki Sho.

""Love Letter" is not inferior to "Norwegian Wood" in terms of quality, structure, or writing, and is even an improvement.

"Under such circumstances, I think it is really impossible to say that inspiration has dried up."

In related forums, many loyal Beichuan fans are discussing Beichuan's three works, from "Listen to the Wind Sing" to "Norwegian Wood" to "Love Letters". Everyone agrees that Beichuan has always been a Progress is made, and the speed of progress is visible to the naked eye.

To put it simply, this young author who has begun to make a name for himself in the literary world and has shown his bright side is in the limelight and has no intention of stopping there, let alone the idea of ​​stopping there.

The only thing I have to put a question mark on is.

That is what he will write about his next book, when will it be published, does he have any ideas... and so on.

"Oh!?"

Hearing this, Morishima Yuki was a little surprised.

She is the kind of classic person who only reads works and does not pay attention to the author. She will not deliberately understand or search for the new book of the author she likes. She will only hold on to a person who is destined to be able to read it again. I saw it and fell in love with this idea.

But now her daughter's words made her suddenly realize.

No wonder she felt that the style of writing was always somewhat similar.

Co-authored both books by the same person? !
"Mom, don't you know these two books were written by the same person?"

The corners of Morishima Yukisha's mouth twitched unconsciously, and there was a hint of helplessness in her tone.

"I... don't know." Morishima Yuki shook her head very frankly, "It's not like you don't know my habits."

"That's right." Yukisha Morishima nodded with deep approval, "It's not surprising."

Thinking about it carefully, with my mother's temperament, if she suddenly said, "It turns out that "Norwegian Wood" and "Love Letters" are by the same author, then I would be surprised.

In this current situation, Ms. Morishima Yukie is acting normally.

"By the way, does he have any new books recently?"

Morishima Yuki asked smoothly.

She doesn't care much about forums and the like, but judging from her daughter's words, her daughter pays more attention to news in this area.

"No."

Morishima Yuksa shook her head, and then quietly glanced at Kitagawa Che who remained silent.

For no reason, she had some evil thoughts.

If I were to drag A Che into the conversation at this time...

Forget it.

She shook her head. After all, this thought didn't last more than half a second.

She didn't want her partner to be in such a delicate mood just because of a little prank of her own.

"What about the autograph session?" Yukie Morishima paused, "If possible, I really want to meet him and see what kind of person he is."

This is her real thought.

If possible, she would also like to treat him to a meal and have a good chat with him.

"Then Mom, you may be disappointed." Morishima Yuksa paused, looked at Kitagawa Che secretly, and gave the latter a teasing look, "That author has never liked book signings. There is a high probability that your wish will come true."

"..."

Looking at the look in Morishima Yuksa's eyes, Kitagawa Che's expression became more and more subtle.

He turned his head and chose silence.

As it should be, silence is tonight, no, in the residential area at noon today.

"Is that so..."

Hearing this, Morishima Yuki lowered her eyebrows in disappointment.

Her idea fell through.

but……

If you think about it carefully, it's actually not bad.

After all, as far as today is concerned, her goal has been achieved.

——She has secured a good opportunity for her daughter.

As for whether it can be grasped.

She could only say that she believed in Xuesha.
