Chapter 222: Antique Shop (2) (1/2)

The room’s furnishing was very simple, nevertheless, as a whole, it gave people quite a serene feeling.

Inside the room, Naoko went straight to a cabinet on her own initiative. She opened the first drawer and took out a tea cup, a teapot and a can of tea. Then she walked to the next room to brew the tea.

Soon, after the tea was ready, she poured a cup and placed it in front of the elderly. And then she poured one for Lei Yin and herself.

After drinking the tea, Naoko knelt behind the elderly and began to gently massage her shoulders. As she rubbed the elderly, Naoko said, “Grandma, because some time ago I published a number of articles in a magazine, the Japanese Association of Young Writers invited me to participate in their annual young writers’ conference in Nagoya. Taking advantage of that, we’ve come here to see you. How are you recently?”

“I am fine. What about your father and mother, are they okay?”

Naoko answered, “Father was still very busy with works, but they are in good health. Big brother and brother are also well.”

“Then what about you?”

“I am fine. Please don’t worry about me.”

The elderly nodded in satisfaction, “Then I can rest assured. Naoko, why don’t you introduce me to this young man.”

Naoko immediately blushed, totally afraid to look at Lei Yin. She leaned over and whispered in the elderly’s ear, “Grandma, he is the man I have been waiting for.”

Hearing the reply from her granddaughter, the elderly quietly watched Lei Yin. After a while, she suddenly said to him, “Please take care of Naoko.”

Lei Yin seriously replied, “I will. Please don’t worry about it.”

“Grandma… thank you!” Hearing her grandmother’s response, Naoko was pleasantly surprised. Just then she was worried about her grandmother’s perception of Lei Yin, but now she felt relieved.

The elderly did not ask about Lei Yin’s career, family, or other problems, but just casually talking with him about trivial things in life. Seeing their interaction, Naoko became jubilant and thus acted like a pampered little girl, which she rarely showed, smiling without care by Lei Yin’s side.

After talking for quite a while, a burst of quarrel came from the store outside.

Hearing this loud argument, the elderly slightly frowned.

“Grandma, let’s go outside and see what happened, okay?” Naoko said to her.

The elderly nodded and stood up.

When the three walked into the shop, they saw a thirty-something-year-old man was arguing with Ikehakura Soshi.

At this time, the man angrily exclaimed, “Are you kidding me, I know that thing is definitely here, why don’t you take it out.”

“I am sorry, Sir, we really don’t have the thing you said.”

“That’s bullsh*t. I know you must have hidden it.”
