Chapter 462 Tomorrow’s Talk: The Orange Sea Only Belongs to Her

That happened one summer when Che Kitagawa was studying at Tokyo University.

After the engagement party between Taku Kiriyama and Akino Kiyono, Teru Kitagawa and Rina Toshisei sneaked into the regional self-service bar on the eleventh floor of the Vienna Hotel.

"So, they are really fast."

Rina Toshima, with blushing cheeks and wearing an evening gown, leaned on the wooden bar, dragging her chin with her left hand, and there was a bit of emotion on her face.

It has only been three years since graduation, and Kiriyama Taku and Kiyono Akino are still in college, but they have already held an engagement party very quickly and said that they will get married within this year.

In a sense, they should be regarded as one of the few couples she had seen all the way from their student days, who eventually became married.

"Is it really fast?" Kitagawa Cheru, who was sitting next to Rina Toshima, had a subtle look on his face, "Sister Rina, think about it carefully, they have been dating since the first year of high school. If you count the time, It’s been nearly six years this year.

"We have been in a relationship for six years. Although there were quarrels during the period, we did not break up, and our relationship has always been very good.

"Under such a premise, no matter what, we should get married, or should we not be so anxious, take a step back and get engaged, right?"

As far as he knew, Kiriyama Taku and Kiyono Akino had been living together since they were admitted to the same university after graduating from high school.

In Kiriyama Taku's words, this is premarital cohabitation for the purpose of marriage.

After that, Kiriyama Taku and Kiyono Akino lived peacefully for three years.

In the past three years, as Tongshan's friend, he had pondered more than once, why the two of them had such a good relationship and there was no news that they were getting married or getting engaged. He even doubted for a while that these two people were in such a good relationship. Should people be left hanging like this?

It wasn't until some time ago when he heard Kiriyama Taku calling him to invite him to the engagement party that he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.

These two people are finally going to achieve success.

"If you put it this way, it seems to be the truth."

Rina Toshima was stunned for a moment, and then she lightly knocked on the table as if she suddenly realized something.

If you think about it this way, it is indeed too late for them to get engaged!

"Ache~"

Suddenly, Rina Toshima seemed to have remembered something, and called Kitagawa Che, her slightly tipsy voice full of coquettishness.

She wanted to drink the wine he mixed.

"Good good."

Beichuan Che responded with a bit of laughter, shook his head, got off the seat, pushed open the wooden door of the bar, and walked in.

Last summer, through self-study and asking for advice, he learned the skill of bartending.

Although he is still a little unfamiliar with some advanced bartending skills, at his current level, there is absolutely no problem in applying for a bartender job in an ordinary bar.

"Only one small cup." Placing his hands on the bar, Kitagawa Che looked at Rina Toshimaro with a more serious look in his eyes, "In your current state, if you drink a little more, I will drink a little more tonight." I can only carry you back."

In fact, if I had to say it, it would not be a problem at all to carry Rina Toshiba back home, and he would never complain about it.

The key is that this neighbor sister has not been drunk for a long, long time. The last time she was drunk was last year. After a long time of drunkenness, she felt uncomfortable for three whole days, and her whole body was visibly out of shape.

"If you say that, then I have a reason to get drunk." Rina Toshimaro raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and there was a little more playfulness on her face. Then she changed the subject, "Of course, if If someone is willing to put in the hard work and carry me while walking, then a small cup is fine."

The two of them had already crossed the last level of their relationship. When Kitagawa Che was in his freshman year, she took the initiative as an opportunity.

"You're very light, so it's not hard work. Besides, is it still the same?"

Beichuan Che lowered his eyebrows and found some bartending equipment at the bar.

Rina Toshima loves to drink the 'Orange Sea' which is a combination of rum and blue cura liqueur.

In her words, when drinking 'Orange Sea', she will have a relaxing feeling like being on the beach in summer with the sea breeze blowing.

"Yes~"

Rina Toshima lay down on the table in front of the bar, resting her chin with her hands, and raised her gaze slightly, falling on Kitagawa Che's face.

The self-service bar of the Vienna Hotel is separated. In other words, they are the only ones in this area.

Therefore, it doesn't matter if her movements are a little more casual.

"Usually it's one cup, but today..." Kitagawa Che picked up the bartending equipment. After confirming that the equipment had undergone basic maintenance and disinfection, he began to mix the wine familiarly, "The amount of wine is only Make it half a cup.”

When it comes to bartending, he actually has some obsessive-compulsive disorder, but considering someone's self-control, he can only suppress this obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"Tch~ cheapskate!"

Seeing that her thoughts had been seen through, Rina Toshima pursed her lips like a child and muttered.

"This is because I'm afraid you'll be greedy."

Kitagawa Teru glanced at Rina Toshimaro, but there was no hesitation in pouring wine into the shaker.

"Am I that kind of person!"

Rina Toshima muttered in dissatisfaction.

But anyone could hear the guilt in her tone.

In fact, when at work, she is absolutely serious and responsible, but in private on her days off, especially when getting along with Kitagawa Che, she will show off her childish and naive side that she does not usually show. .

On this point, Ai has complained about her no less than six or seven times, saying that when she gets along with someone now, she acts like a high school student.

In this regard, she always admitted it shamelessly and readily, without the slightest bit of embarrassment.

"As far as I know, at times like this, Rina, your self-control is very poor, so..."

Kitagawa Teru looked at Rina Toshima, and their eyes met in the air.

Under the soft light of the bar, her white and tender skin seemed to be covered with a faint layer of warm light. Looking from his perspective, he could easily see the delicate collarbone hidden under the high-necked dress, as well as the plump breasts. Only a hint of white snow can be seen.

"Personally, I think it's better to be on the safe side."

He calmly withdrew his gaze.

"It seems like you don't trust me~"

Rina Tashili pursed her lips and pretended to be aggrieved.

"To be precise, I lack trust in you in this regard." Kitagawa Che took the fresh lime from the bar and cut it into four halves with a knife. If he only made one cup, the original half would have to be reduced to half in equal proportion. A quarter of the way through, "I still trust you in other matters."

What makes people laugh or cry the most is that the person who warned him about this matter was none other than Rina Toshimaru's mother.

The other party said that as her boyfriend, she should have some control over Rina.

Hearing this, he could only nod to show that he understood.

"So..." Rina Toshiro pursed her lips and picked up a piece of note paper and a matching gel pen in front of the wooden bar, "A lot of times, Che, you really don't understand the style! "

Of course, what she said was what she said, but she also knew in her heart that if it weren't for the fact that it was pronounced as "unintelligible" and written as "reliable", she would never fall in love with him.

But people always want their partners to say nice things sometimes.

Even if the beautiful words are just beautiful words.

"That's certainly true."

After so many years, Kitagawa Che has chosen to reconcile with himself. Sometimes, he does not understand the style, but his character is like this. If you really want him to go against his true thoughts and say some irrelevant things, he can't do it. .

"..."

Hearing this, Rina Toshima fell silent.

They have had many conversations like this in the past three years, no, to be more precise, six years. But every time, after getting a positive answer from the person involved, she would always fall silent unconsciously.

Because she didn't know how to respond at all.

What you said has been acknowledged by all the parties involved and said there is nothing they can do about it, so what can you do?

However, just because there was no way before, does not mean there is no way now!

"Hmph! Now you are the bartender and I am the customer, and I want to file a complaint against you! Write about your shortcomings!"

Rina Toshima snorted a little arrogantly, picked up the pen, and started writing on the note paper.

"はぃ（hai）~"

Kitagawa Che responded casually.

Anyway, he was used to it. When alone, Rina Toshima would start to be childish from time to time, switching from high school to kindergarten at will.

At this time, if you are more serious, you will really lose.

It's better to let her temperament work, maybe something interesting can happen.

"Your promise is so perfunctory!"

Rina Toshima raised her eyebrows and gave him a charming look.

This guy is not cooperative at all!

"Um……"

Kitagawa Che thought for a moment, then added two ice cubes to the shaker, then closed the lid and shook vigorously.

The ice cubes collided in the shaker, making a clanging sound.

"It's even more perfunctory now!"

Rina Toshima lowered her eyebrows and started writing on the paper.

She wanted to write all her 'dissatisfaction' on this piece of paper.

Then give this guy a good look at this piece of paper! Let him know that he has a very big opinion on him!

"You have to give people some time, what I mean is..." Seeing that the shaking was almost done, Kitagawa Che put down the shaker, "No one can do two things well at the same time, especially when that person wants to This is especially true when you do well what you are doing.

"For me, I hope that every cup of Orange Sea you drink will be a 'work' that satisfies you."

This is what he thinks.

"Humph~"

After the words fell, Rina Toshima's writing movements stagnated slightly, and then her head lowered, her beautiful face full of happiness.

Although most of the time a person is indifferent to amorous feelings, occasionally... he is worthy of praise!

Well, don’t go too far in your criticism!

As she pondered this, the pen tip she stopped moved again.

"It's almost over!"

Kitagawa Che opened the lid of the wine shaker, then temporarily put the wine shaker aside, then took out the glass that had been prepared, added ice cubes to it, poured half a cup of orange juice, and then After adding some soda water, and after the orange juice and soda water together occupied two-thirds of the height of the cup, he picked up the shaker again and poured the filtered wine into the cup.

"I'm about to finish here!"

Rina Toshimai wrote a little faster.

The more she wrote, the more the thoughts in her heart overlapped.

"So……"

After putting the last piece of lime for decoration on the edge of the cup and inserting a straw into the cup, Kitagawa Teru put the completed orange sea on the bar and gently pushed it in front of Toshimaru Rina.

"Done!"

In a sense, this cup of orange sea is a limited product.

"I've got it done here too!"

Rina Toshima also raised her eyebrows.

"But..." Kitagawa Che changed the topic and explained, "Today's orange sea will be slightly sweeter than in the past. After all, the wine and lime have been reduced by half."

It was a helpless move to do so, considering his drinking capacity for Rina Toshimaru.

If the wine had not been reduced by half, it would be no surprise that Rina Toshima would have collapsed after drinking this glass.

At that time, she will feel uncomfortable for another two or three days.

If you want both, problems will often arise, so you can only choose a compromise approach.

"I like sweet~"

Rina Toshima said this, and casually handed the note in her hand to Kitagawa Teru in front of her, then lowered her head and tasted the special orange sea that only belonged to her with a straw.

When the wine mixed with orange juice and soda water bloomed on the tip of her tongue, her eyes suddenly lit up.

This special method not only did not make the taste of Orange Sea worse, but actually made it more suitable for her taste.

"This is delicious!"

She had no hesitation in giving a favorable review.

"As long as you like it."

Picking up the note, Kitagawa Che read it carefully.

Above are lines of text.

[Although you are really stupid sometimes, I still like you. 】

[So, just like what we said before, so-called standards are always reserved for people who don’t love them. 】

[If you really like, or love someone, there may not really be that many standards. 】

[Also, remember to paint over the handwriting I left~]

【There is a surprise(〃'▽'〃)】

Kitagawa Che was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the pen that Rina Tashisei had just put in front of him, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up the pen and lightly painted on the paper according to the traces of Rina Tashisei's paintings. stand up.

The sound of the pen writing on the paper was particularly clear at this moment.

Soon, most of the paper was blackened, leaving only the white space in the middle.

All that was left on it was the short sentence that inexplicably made his heart skip a beat.

【君が好きだよ(I like you~)】

Subconsciously, Kitagawa Che looked at Toshimaru Rina.

The latter happened to raise his eyebrows and looked at him.

As if responding to the brilliant fireworks that year, she opened her mouth and wordlessly repeated the sentences on the paper.

"Jun Hao きだよ (I like you)!"

　see you tomorrow!
