Chapter 11 A Meeting that Started in the Wrong Way
The next day, there was a smooth transition from holiday to weekday. Although it was such an exaggerated thing to jump from Sunday to Wednesday, almost everyone was used to it.
Teitan High School.
Class B, Grade 1, had a morning class, but Shimizu Koji's heart never calmed down.
Fortunately, in the eyes of the teacher, he was an excellent student with excellent grades and good character, so even if the teacher noticed that he was distracted in class, he just coughed twice to remind him, and Shimizu Koji ignored him and let it go.
There were three things lingering in Shimizu Koji's mind. The first was Miyano Akemi's situation; the second was his blood-red eyes yesterday, which should be called Sharingan; the third was about his own financial situation.
The first thing was understandable. He planned to go to the hospital to see Sister Akemi's situation every day after school if he was free;
The second thing was that Sharingan. Shimizu Koji tried to get himself into that state from last night to this morning, but unfortunately he didn't succeed.
The matter about the eyes could only come slowly.
And the third thing was his current urgent need.
Although he doesn't care much about the law and his own life, in a normal and peaceful world, his source of income cannot always rely on robbery.
Now, Koji Shimizu can't figure out how long he has traveled through time, and whether his parents have been dead for "three years", but these have no effect on the fact that he has no source of income except the ownership of the apartment.
If he wants to maintain his own food, clothing, housing and transportation, it is enough to do a part-time job occasionally, but if he wants to take care of the villa with a large courtyard, it will probably cost at least tens of thousands of yen, or even hundreds of thousands of yen.
Compared with the rent of the villa, this money is probably very little, even insignificant, but it is a bit troublesome for Koji Shimizu.
His own apartment, at present, is the only legacy left to him by his parents whom he has never met.
Although the house may be worth tens of millions of yen or more, Koji Shimizu has never thought of selling the house to maintain his financial expenses. Not to mention that he is now temporarily living in the Kudo Shin's family, just selling his own house to maintain and take care of other people's houses sounds very wrong.
Moreover, even though Miss Sonoko didn't say anything about the cost of Akemi Miyano's treatment, even if Koji Shimizu took the initiative to mention it, others might just waive the bill with a wave of his hand.
But if that were the case, Koji Shimizu would feel that he was a bit of a jerk. He called the kind-hearted young lady with the pure intention of taking advantage of her, and he felt at ease spending other people's money. He was not that kind of person.
As for why Koji Shimizu thought of Suzuki Sonoko and thought of her as a kind-hearted young lady, it was because he had rejected her before.
Well, in front of everyone, the chaebol young lady blushed with expectation, respectfully and politely handed over the confession postcard she had written by herself, and then shyly told her love, and then was simply ignored.
Although he had no feelings about love, Koji Shimizu felt ashamed just thinking about it. The young lady could actually help him regardless of the past, and he had to thank others properly.
Money——.
So, what can he do, except renting out his idle house. Shimizu Koji looked at the boys and girls in the classroom who had already started to pack up and leave, and prepared to go back and seriously look for a good part-time job.
Now, it's lunch time.
Shimizu Koji quietly got up and left the classroom, made some mental preparations, and then headed upstairs to the second grade.
As soon as he walked out of the classroom, the remaining girls in the classroom immediately gathered together and began to chatter around one of them.
"Miko! Shimizu-kun stared at your back all morning!"
"Hey, is there, is there?" The girl blushed.
"We all saw it! Miko, tell me, have you been secretly in contact with Shimizu-kun?"
"No, no, I think you must have misunderstood. I, I have never communicated with Shimizu-kun."
"Ah~~, lying is not good, tell the truth! Hehe!"
"He is really popular with girls."
"Tsk, a guy who always has a cold face, these girls are really superficial!"
"You can also say this to their faces."
"Hey, Tanaka, do you want to kill me?!"
The topics of adolescent boys and girls always revolve around the opposite sex, but most of the time, they are far away from the person being discussed.
——
Second grade B class.
Coincidentally, Shimizu Koji found the kind-hearted young lady without much effort.
Sonoko and Xiaolan were planning to find a quiet place to eat with their lunch boxes, preferably in the shade of the corridor in the courtyard under the teaching building, so that she could look at the handsome guys on the playground while eating.
But it was just for dinner. What she wanted most now was to find a boyfriend she liked.
"Excuse me."
"Huh?"
Sonoko and Xiaolan, who were talking and laughing, turned around at the same time when they heard the voice behind them.
Xiaolan's eyes just showed a trace of doubt, and the surprise and surprise in Sonoko's eyes were almost overflowing.
"Ki, Shimizu-kun!"
"Eh? Sonoko, could this be the one you mentioned last time——."
Looking at the girl with the hairband who seemed to be excited and ready to pounce on him at any moment, Shimizu Koji tried his best to keep a gentle smile on his face, but he subconsciously took a small step back.
The corridor of the teaching building was not a place to talk. After a brief explanation, Xiaolan, Sonoko, and Shimizu Koji found an empty classroom.
"So, you are looking for Sonoko simply to express your gratitude."
Xiaolan probably extracted the core idea from Shimizu Koji's words. Although Sonoko didn't feel anything, Xiaolan's expression was somewhat strange.
Looking at the boy opposite repeatedly emphasizing his gratitude to Sonoko and his apology for something that happened before, the sharp Xiaolan immediately realized that the relationship between this boy and Sonoko didn't seem to be what she thought.
"Well, in addition, Miss Sonoko, I am very sorry for the previous unpleasantness, and I hope you can forgive me."
"Forgive, I have forgiven, and Shimizu-kun can just call me Sonoko."
Before Shimizu Koji finished speaking, he was interrupted by Sonoko with a starry eye and a nonchalant wave of her hand.
Swallowing his saliva, Shimizu Koji found that although this young lady was easy to talk to, it seemed that it was a bit of a backfire.
He had a bad feeling.
"Uh, okay."
"Shimizu-kun, is your sister doing better now?"
Xiaolan changed the subject and pulled the arm of the infatuated Sonoko, hoping that her bestie could sober up.
"Well, fortunately, Sonoko helped, otherwise I really didn't know what to do at that time."
Shimizu Koji nodded. His words were the truth. No matter which hospital he went to for a gunshot wound in the chest, he would inevitably be questioned. Fortunately, he thought of this chaebol lady in a hurry.
"Also, if Miss Sonoko, oh, Sonoko, you need any help in the future, although it may be a bit shameless, if you really need it, you can also call me."
Shimizu Koji said, and handed the phone number and email address he had written on a piece of paper in advance to Sonoko.
That was all he could do, a sincere thank you and a promise. After all, compared to this chaebol lady, he was penniless and had nothing to thank her with.
Sonoko's eyes lit up, and her brain, which had finally calmed down, felt a little dizzy again. She quickly took the note and carefully put it in her arms. Sonoko's thoughts turned rapidly. Although she was a little crazy, she could see that this cold and handsome junior didn't seem to be that interested in her.
But isn't this the most fascinating part of love!
So, she must think of a reason to create the possibility of love friction between her and this cold and handsome junior!
That's right! Sonoko's mind suddenly lit up, and her eyes met Shimizu Koji's gaze.
"Uh, Miss Sonoko?"
If it weren't for the stacked tables behind him, Shimizu Koji felt that he could still take a half step back. Before coming here, he really didn't expect it to be like this.
I thought that the kind-hearted young lady would definitely have complaints or even resentment about the previous events, but it was not impossible that she kindly agreed to let someone save his sister Mingmei just because he said that human life was at stake last time.
But this strange way of opening -, in Shimizu Koji's relatively rich experience, he had never seen a girl like Sonoko.
"That Shimizu-kun, can I invite you to my sister's class reunion?! It will be next Saturday, during the winter vacation. Oh, by the way, because my sister has loved kendo since she was a child, if you can agree to it, Shimizu-kun -."
"Uh, no problem."
I thought that the young lady would say something embarrassing with her expression, but she didn't expect that she would just invite him to her sister's class reunion. Although it was a bit weird, Sonoko helped him so much, so he naturally would not refuse such a request, and agreed decisively.
Shimizu Koji certainly guessed some of Sonoko's little calculations, but these are not important. The important thing is that he should be able to leave now.
"Well, then, I'll contact you then." Sonoko didn't expect Shimizu Koji to agree so quickly. She had thought she could see some embarrassment on Shimizu Koji's face.
As for the nonsense that her sister liked kendo since she was a child, no one should care.
