Chapter 444 The Brother-in-Law in the Coffee Shop
As soon as he arrived at the school, Katsura Totsuka saw Kai Uesugi in the elective classroom and walked over immediately.
Uesugi Kai also arrived in the classroom not long ago, he randomly chose a seat at the back and took a seat, when he took out the reference book from his handbag, there was even a little sweat on his forehead.
"The temperature today is less than ten degrees, why do you look so hot?"
Kai Uesugi put the handbag on his lap and replied, "I just finished running."
"What are you doing so hard for running again? You are in good shape."
"The figure needs to be maintained, and I am also doing this to exercise my body."
"Or. Shall I try to run with you?"
"Welcome, but it's best if you stick with it."
"What if you can't hold on?"
"It's okay if you can't persist, but it's about 'giving up'. It's easy to give up the first time, but it's only easier to give up the second time. Do you want to agree?"
"How far did you set your goal for your morning run?" Totsuka Katsura continued to ask without making up his mind.
"Ten kilometers." Uesugi Kai said casually.
"ten kilometers"
Although Totsuka Katsuragi knew that this guy could run, but when he heard the clear number, he completely lost the intention of following him to learn how to run in the morning.
He would be exhausted after running a kilometer on weekdays, let alone running ten kilometers in a row.
Run ten kilometers in the morning.
Also get up early in the morning.
Just a monster.
Totsuka Katsura decided not to say anything more about this matter.
"Uesugi, about what I asked you to do yesterday."
"Well, she said yes."
"That's great!"
Uesugi Kai looked at his cheerful appearance, and really couldn't bear to expose it.
Judging from the state of contact with Xiaoqiao Lihai yesterday, she has no idea what he is thinking now.
That's right, how could a normal younger sister think that her brother would like her?
"Uesugi, do you think I should confess my love?" Totsuka Katsura lowered his voice.
"Didn't you say you don't confess?"
"Except for seeing her by chance at the fraternity last time, she has been avoiding her parents for the past few months. I wanted to chat with her but she refused. It's a feeling I haven't seen for a long time. Can you understand?
"Do you want me to tell you the story of when we first met? Speaking of it, it's quite funny."
"Farewell." Uesugi Kai quickly refused.
He felt that it was impossible for these two people to make it.
There are two reasons.
One is that the two are now a combined family, a brother-sister relationship in name.
The second is that the woman didn't treat his intimacy or favor as liking at all.
"Uesugi, did she say where to meet?" Totsuka Katsura asked, "I called her yesterday, but it was still an empty number. She probably doesn't want the old number anymore, and the line never answered me. Haven't read it."
"She said we'll meet at the coffee shop."
"The maid cafe where she works?"
"Ah."
"That's pretty good too, the coffee shop is really suitable for meeting." Totsuka Katsura muttered, somewhat unable to restrain the throbbing in his heart.
Kai Uesugi didn't know how he would take advantage of this opportunity to meet, but judging from Lihai Kobashi's attitude, she still missed her dead father in her heart, so she probably didn't care much about what he said.
Kai Uesugi can understand Lihai Xiaoqiao's mood. After all, having a good father has a great influence on a person's character.
When it was noon, the two hurriedly finished their lunch in the central cafeteria and were about to go to the mimi coffee shop.
The two came out from the canteen exit.
Uesugi Kai suddenly stopped him and said, "Go to the right."
"?"
Totsuka Katsura pointed to the front, with a puzzled expression on his face, "This way is near the bicycle shed."
Kaoru Uesugi looked at the golden ginkgo tree in front of him, "You are not afraid of the smell, just go there, I will ride a bicycle and wait for you from the side."
Totsuka Katsura followed his line of sight and looked at the two rows of ginkgo trees.
He hadn't come in from that place in the past two days, and kept going through the side door.
"It really stinks?"
"It stinks."
To the bike shed.
Kaoru Uesugi pushed his pink bicycle out.
"Your bicycle is the most conspicuous among the boys."
"Pink, isn't it good?" Uesugi Kai looked at Totsuka Katsura standing in front of him.
"No, very good, very girlish!"
In order to take care of this gay friend, Kai Uesugi pushed his bicycle all the way to the coffee shop.
Fortunately, the distance is not far, only one street away, and it takes only a few minutes to walk.
The two came to the commercial street, downstairs of mimi coffee shop.
"Ah? I remember here, every day there are maids standing here to welcome customers, have they disappeared recently?"
Kai Uesugi explained to him one by one: "One, it's not time to go to work, and two, now that there are more customers, there is no need to rely on soliciting customers to maintain the store's business."
"Oh, that's it." Totsuka Katsuragi nodded, and then asked him again, "Do you need to pay attention to anything in the maid cafe? It's not necessary. It's strange that the middle two speech is used to order food and buy omelet rice. The gifted maid magic magic chirp~?"
"No, just treat yourself as a normal guest," Uesugi Kai said, "I feel like you understand."
"I just saw a video of the past maid coffee shop on the Internet. To be honest, I felt that it was the scene of a social death. I was covered with goose bumps watching it off the screen."
Kaoru Uesugi suddenly remembered something: "Didn't you come here for coffee last time? Are you still asking these questions?"
"Last time I came here after covering myself with a mask and a coat. The maids didn't dare to receive me. If they didn't see that I didn't do anything strange, they would almost call the police."
When he said that, Kaoru Uesugi remembered.
Aka Erina complained to him after get off work, saying that there was a strange man wearing a mask who came to the coffee shop.
It's not true that some of their little maids receive it, and it's not true if they don't.
I wanted to call the police, but I was afraid of wronging the other party.
Fortunately, the weirdo didn't ask for anything, he just ordered a cup of coffee and sat down.
During that time, there were a lot of customers, and they were so busy that they didn't pay attention, and the weird person disappeared.
Because they were too busy, everyone didn't pay much attention to the existence of this weird person.
It's just that Aka Erina, who was in charge of entertaining him at the beginning, was quite impressed.
After parking the bicycle, Uesugi Kai led Totsuka Katsura through the stairs to the second floor, the door of the cafe.
The middle of the sliding door is made of wood, and a large area of glass is used. In front of the door panel, there is also a small wooden sign "Opening" with vines entwined on it.
There is still a little dust shadow under the three chalk characters of "Business" above.
It can be seen that the small wooden sign has been written many times.
Jingle~
Push the door and enter, and the crisp wind chime sounds.
Except for some green plants and dining tables in the store, only Tashiro Yuri, the twin sister, is busy cleaning the tables here.
"Ah, Uesugi-san," she found Kai Uesugi, immediately stopped her movements, put her hands together on her maid skirt, bowed slightly and nodded to greet him, "Good afternoon."
The voice seemed to be emotionless, but there was a little bit of surprise strangely.
"Good afternoon." Uesugi Kai replied to her, "Are you the only one on duty today?"
"No," she shook her head, "my sister is here too."
Tashiro Yuri tilted his head slightly, and asked with some doubts: "Is the person next to Uesugi-san a guest?"
"Half a guest." Uesugi Kai replied in place of Totsuka Katsura, "He is Xiaoqiao-san's older brother."
"Brother? That's it, but you can't tell they are siblings from their looks."
Not really.
Because they are not brothers and sisters.
But this kind of thing is hard to explain, and too many explanations will be troublesome.
Uesugi Kai took the initiative to change the subject: "It's okay, you can do your work, don't disturb your work, I'll receive him."
"Oh, I see." Tashiro Yuri belonged to the kind of obedient little girl who didn't ask too many questions. After realizing that Uesugi Kai didn't want her to ask more questions, she continued to work on her own work.
Organize the potted green plants, wipe the table, and carry the dishes into the back kitchen.
The twin sisters and maids can be regarded as the signature of Mimi coffee shop. The previous coffee shop was supported by a few of them. I don't know where the store manager Liu Mu was recruited.
Now the store manager said that she is going to transform, she plans not to follow the style of the strange two-dimensional maid coffee shop, but to use real maids to decorate the soul of the coffee shop.
There was something of that about this coffee shop from the very beginning.
Uesugi Kai took Totsuka Katsura to the front desk, and after putting on his work apron, asked him:
"Xiaoqiao hasn't come yet, why don't you order a cup of coffee first?"
"Okay." Totsuka Katsura had no objection.
"What coffee do you want?" Kai Uesugi opened the booklet and handed it to him to read.
Totsuka Katsura took a look. He had never heard of Blue Mountain, Mandheling, Mocha, or Triumph on the list. After reading an article, he only knew the two flavors of cappuccino and latte.
Seeing that he was confused, Uesugi Kai asked aloud:
"What flavor do you like? Bitter, astringent, or milky coffee? Or concentrate?"
"What is enrichment?"
"Espresso means that there will be a thick layer of coffee fat floating on the top of the coffee, which has a strong taste, a strong coffee aroma, and a sticky feeling when you eat it."
"what?"
"Let's put it this way, concentrated water is the most common coffee, if you add a little milk, it's a latte, and with a little milk froth, it's a cappuccino."
"...It's the coffee with a very bitter taste?" Totsuka Katsuragi had only heard the names of some coffees, but he had never experienced the taste. Even if he had drank it before, he had almost forgotten it.
"It varies from person to person. Some people think it's very fragrant, but most people think it's very bitter." Uesugi Kai realized that he didn't understand coffee at all, so he thought he should change his way of asking him, "Do you like bitterness or sweetness?"
"sweet."
"Do you like milk flavor?"
"like."
"Do you want some chocolate?"
"want."
"Okay then, I'll make you a mocha."
It took 1 minute to find out what flavor he likes, and Kaoru Uesugi started working immediately.
Totsuka Katsura did not go to the seat, but stood in front of the bar to watch Uesugi Kai's neat working techniques.
He remembered that Professor Okuno liked his coffee, and used to ask him to cook a small stove.
Katsura Totsuka doesn't know how to make coffee, but he can see Kai Uesugi's serious work status.
Elegant, smooth, and bold?
This guy is very charming in itself, after watching him for a while, he even has a feeling that his eyes are integrated into his movements, and he hopes that his eyes will follow his movements to appreciate his next move.
Before I knew it, I was immersed in his world.
If the little girl sees this, what's the deal?
Totsuka Katsura finally understood why he was able to marry such a beautiful girl as his wife.
Being handsome is also one of the reasons.
At least, it looks like a good match.
"Take it."
"Enough?"
"A cup of mocha doesn't take much time."
"Why didn't I see your wonderful skills? I think you can just fiddle with one machine and you're done."
"It's a coffee machine, I just don't use traditional percolation."
"They all taste the same?"
"almost."
Jingle~
The crisp wind chimes at the door rang.
Hanamaru Hanabi, who wore a dark blue scarf around her neck, walked in. She was smiling, with a playful and cute meaning in it.
As soon as she came in, she jumped in front of Uesugi Kai's bar.
Totsuka Katsura knew her of course, and had attended her wedding not long ago.
"sister in law."
"Sister-in-law? You're wrong, this is my brother-in-law."
Hanamaru Hanabi didn't know if it was a joke, she smiled and pointed at Kai Uesugi inside the bar.
"?"
Hanamaru Hanabi knew him and knew that he was Uesugi Kai's classmate: "My name is Hanamaru Hanayu, and I am Uesugi-kun's sister-in-law."
There is no such word as "sister-in-law" in Japanese, and it usually expresses one's own identity directly, such as wife's sister, husband's sister, and so on.
Indicates brother-in-law, and also directly refers to sister's husband.
Kaoru Uesugi found out.
In addition to being sickly and delicate sometimes, Hei Huahuo will suddenly become weird when he is happy.
Kai Uesugi is not very clear, is this a kind of inner performance of Hanabi?
Totsuka Katsuragi was confused. In his impression, Uesugi Kai's wife who was studying at Dongyi University, didn't she look like this?
Why did you suddenly call Uesugi brother-in-law?
Although the character looks completely different.
"My sister and I are twins, don't doubt it."
younger sister?
Only then did Totsuka Katsura remember that Kai Uesugi seemed to have mentioned that her wife has a younger sister.
"What makes you so happy?" Kaoru Uesugi asked.
"Because I thought I could see my brother-in-law, I was very happy. I came over immediately after class!" Hanamaru Hanabi held her face in both hands, leaned her elbows on the bar and looked at Uesugi Kai, her eyes full of liking.
If you look closely, you can still find a hint of cunning in her depths.
She said this happily, but in Uesugi Kai's view, it was a complete torture.
Because she was making fun of herself in front of her classmates!
Sure enough, when she heard this, she was connected to her girlish expression of admiration.
Katsura Totsuka lost his mind in an instant.
Uesugi's wife's twin sister actually likes Uesugi very much! ?
Hanamaru Hanabi had a panoramic view of Totsuka Katsura's expression, and continued to say to Uesugi Kai without showing any signs of expression:
"Kai-kun. Can I call brother-in-law you Kai-kun? I also want to call you brother-in-law like my sister."
