Chapter 426: Debt of Favor
A luxury apartment in the city center, this will be one of Shifengyuan's future residences in Tokyo.
In fact, there are many rooms here, but usually, only Shifengin Mirai and Akai Sayaka, a master and a servant, spend the night here.
"Dinner is ready."
There was a knock on the door of the study room. Sayaka Akai opened the door and said to the two people in front of the desk.
"good."
Kurosawa Hikaru, who was in class, nodded slightly when he heard the summons and glanced at the clock on the wall.
The time happened to be 7 pm, which was different from the usual dinner time, but it was the agreed time.
"let's go."
Standing up, Kurosawa Hikaru smiled when he noticed that Shifengin Mirai had not moved yet, as if he was a little nervous.
Si Fengyuan raised his head and glanced at him in the future. Thinking that he was still there, he nodded slightly and stood up.
Walking out of the study, Kurosawa Hikaru followed in the footsteps of Sayaka Akai.
Soon, he saw someone sitting in front of the dining table.
That was a young woman with stunning appearance and full of aura, and she was Fuxue from Sifengyuan.
Behind him, the maid of the Akai family was waiting expressionlessly, obeying all instructions at any time.
The role of being the first to take the lead will take more control in the process of contacting people.
"Aunt Fubuki, good evening."
Seeing this scene, Kurosawa Hikaru actively and calmly walked forward.
"Good evening."
Shifengyuan Fubuki watched the two of them walk out of the study, with a pair of beautiful eyes staring at Kurosawa Hikari. When she saw him coming, a smile appeared on her calm face.
This meeting was not for the purpose of arguing or confrontation. She had only one purpose in taking the position in advance, which was to prevent herself from being too passive.
"Today's dinner was so sumptuous."
Kurosawa Hikaru came to the dining table, looked at the dishes on the table, and found an empty seat not far away to sit down.
The meal tonight was really luxurious. Maybe Akai Sayaka knew that Madam was coming and cooked more dishes.
"mom."
Compared with her naturalness, Sifengyuan Mirai does not look like the owner of this family, and is a bit reserved.
"Let's have dinner."
Sifengyuan Chuixue slightly nodded and motioned for her to sit down.
The bigger the family, the more rules there are.
The Sifengyuan family's family rules are strict and terrifying, and their educational requirements for their children are almost perverted.
No matter how naughty your character is, or you are in a rebellious stage, you must be honest and honest in front of family rules and elders. There is absolutely no possibility of being disrespectful or disrespectful.
Dinner started, and all three of them were eating.
Whether it is Sifengyuan Fubuki or Sifengyuan Mirai, they seem to have many rules when it comes to dining and eat very elegantly.
In contrast, even though Kurosawa Hikaru has many skills, he has no related skills such as dining etiquette. He eats very casually. He directly took a large lobster, removed the tail and took a big bite.
High-end ingredients don't even require good cooking techniques. They only need simple processing to achieve color, freshness and fragrance.
"It's really depressing."
Although it was a delicious meal, Kurosawa Hikaru was not very happy with it because the atmosphere of the dinner was so dull that he could not taste the food.
In fact, he had known for a long time that the relationship between mother and daughter was not good.
But this time when we had dinner together, the invisible but actual gap between mother and daughter seemed to materialize.
Obviously dinner is supposed to be a family meal together, but there is no harmonious atmosphere. Instead, it is silent.
He didn't quite understand the dining etiquette of nobles, but if what he saw on TV was correct, Western nobles would chat when they had dinner together.
In other words, the fundamental reason why tonight's dinner table is so boring is that the relationship between mother and daughter is so bad.
“The meat is juicy, sweet and tender, and today’s lobster is so delicious.”
After thinking about it, Kurosawa swallowed a piece of tail meat of a large lobster and praised it.
As soon as he spoke, the mother and daughter at the dinner table looked at him with attracted eyes.
"Did I said wrong thing?"
Breaking the silence at the dinner table, Kurosawa Hikaru faced the two people's gazes and said puzzledly.
To be fair, even with his cooking skills, he still thought the lobster tail meat he just ate was delicious.
As a professional maid, Sayaka Akai is taught by famous teachers, and her cooking skills are very good, which is not much inferior to his ordinary cooking.
In this case, he quite likes the addition of lobster, a rare ingredient that is different from home-cooked food.
After all, he was not thick-skinned before. Every time Akai Sayaka asked him what he wanted to eat, he always asked for a rice bowl.
"No, it's best if you like nature."
Sifengyuan Chuixue shook her head and looked at the big lobster in front of her. She had not eaten it yet because she had no appetite just looking at it.
Even before marrying into the Sifengyuan family, she came from a famous family and had been tired of eating all kinds of delicacies since she was a child.
The meat was juicy, sweet and tender, and there was an expression of enjoyment that she hadn't felt in an unknown amount of time.
The life of a rich person is actually very boring...because it is bound by various rules, and because money can buy anything, she doesn't even know what she is pursuing.
She made a special flight back to Tokyo today because Kurosawa Hikaru mentioned the business card of the family head.
This rare and rare treasure really attracted her.
"It's really delicious."
Shifengyuan Mirai has long been tired of eating this so-called luxurious meal, but maybe it was Kurosawa's expression and comments that made her take the big lobster on the ice tray, cut off a piece of lobster meat, and dip it in wasabi and soy sauce. He took a small bite.
Just as Kurosawa said, the meat is elastic, sweet, tender and tender.
"Aunt Fubuki, don't you like lobster?"
Finally breaking the silence on the table, Kurosawa Hikaru looked at her intact lobster, which had not yet used her chopsticks, and spoke.
“It’s not about liking it, it’s just that after eating too much, I got used to it.”
Sifengyuan Chuixue shook his head slightly.
"In other words, are you tired of eating?"
Kurosawa Hikaru saw the look of fatigue on her beautiful face and asked again.
What does a truly rich person look like? It's not because of her noble temperament or luxurious clothes, but because her face reveals a sense of weariness, as if everything in the world is unattractive to her.
He had this feeling when he first met Si Fengyuan Fubuki... He also had a similar feeling when he saw the future.
The luxury cars, mansions, gold and silver treasures that ordinary people pursue have long lost their appeal to them. They are emotionally calm, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and neither fight nor grab.
However, the current future has been awakened by him, relying on freedom and happiness.
"You can say that."
Sifengyuan Fubuki didn't understand why he asked such a question. He glanced at the delicate and beautiful lobster on the ice tray and nodded.
The tail of the big lobster has been processed, and the carapace has been removed. It is as white as milk and the meat is like fiber. The tail meat is condensed together. It looks very beautiful on the crushed ice that reflects the light under the light.
"Then can you give me your big lobster?"
Kurosawa Hikaru got her reply and asked again.
"Can."
Sifengyuan Chuixue did not hesitate to make this request.
To her, such large lobsters have no value at all because they can be bought with money and they can have as many as they want.
To say its value is nothing more than a quantifiable number.
"Then I won't be polite."
With her consent, Kurosawa stood up decisively, walked to her side and stretched out his hand to pick up the ice tray containing the lobster.
His movements were very calm and he took the big lobster away immediately.
Seeing him slowly taking away the big lobster in front of her, Sifengyuan Fuxue didn't even raise her eyelids, she just lowered her head to eat her dinner.
"Well, that's pretty good."
"It's so delicious."
"Did Ms. Sayaka cook this lobster? It was well done."
Kurosawa Hikaru returned to his seat and started eating lobster, making a lot of noise.
Unlike before, he started to dismantle the lobster tail with a knife, then picked it up with chopsticks and dipped it in the sauce.
For example, soy sauce, mustard, sprinkle with black pepper, sea salt, eat in different ways, even without any grace or etiquette at all, and you will lick your fingers.
But no matter how he ate, he always had a smile on his face and compliments from time to time.
"Is it really so delicious?"
Seeing him attracted by the delicious food, eating casually but extremely delicious, Sifengyuan Chuixue's heartstrings couldn't help but have strange fluctuations.
The way Kurosawa was eating the lobster was so delicious that she had the illusion that the lobster Akai Sayaka cooked tonight was so delicious.
However, she wanted to know what it tasted like, but it was impossible...because her big lobster had already been taken away.
As for asking to come back, that was impossible for her.
"Hmm - it's tender and crispy... You can try it in the future. This kabayaki eel is good, it melts in your mouth, especially the skin is very fragrant."
Soon, Kurosawa Hikaru finished two large lobsters and picked up a piece of cut eel. After eating, his eyes lit up. He ate fiercely and invited them at the same time.
"good."
Sifengyuan will still eat lobster tails in the future. She eats them very slowly because she has to pay attention to etiquette and pursue a sense of high-end and elegance. However, because of his influence, she also has a big appetite.
"Aunt Fubuki."
Not long after, Kurosawa Hikaru finished eating the eel and looked at Shifouin Fubuki aside.
"Is there a problem?"
Sifengyuan Fubuki was still waiting for him to give him a gift, and responded to the conversation.
"Eels, are you tired of eating them?"
Kurosawa's eyes flickered and he looked at the kabayaki eel that was placed in front of her without even using his chopsticks.
"Tired of eating."
When Sifengyuan Chuixue heard this, she understood what he was thinking and was a little surprised.
He wants it again? Do you have such a big appetite?
Large lobster tail, because the quality of the ingredients is very good, the weight of the tail meat is about 300-500g. This amount is very filling, let alone two.
Not only that, he also ate eels. Although eels are usually small, not whole, but the best parts, Kabayaki is sweet and will make you tired if you eat too much.
"Then can you give me your eel?"
After getting her answer, Kurosawa Hikaru asked again.
"Can."
Sifengyuan Chuixue thought for a while and agreed.
As a neon person, she has long been tired of all kinds of high-end Japanese cuisine.
"Very good."
"Help him carry it over."
This time, before he could stand up and come over, Sifengyuan Chuixue gave an order.
"yes."
The maid who was waiting nearby took action immediately after hearing this order.
"It's so delicious."
Kurosawa waited until she delivered it and couldn't wait to start.
With the blessing of master-level acting skills, although his eating appearance is casual and there are no rules of dining etiquette, the food he eats is so delicious that it will not be offensive at all.
Not long after, Kurosawa Hikaru finished the entire plate, then brought over a steak and started eating.
As expected, he started to feel delicious again and ate very quickly.
Finally, his eyes turned to the dishes in front of Si Fengyuan Fubuki, the untouched steak.
"Aunt Fubuki, what do you think of steak?"
"Tired of eating...do you want it?"
"think."
"Bring it to him."
After receiving the affirmation, Si Fengyuan Fubuki ordered.
"Why doesn't she follow the rules?"
Kurosawa Hikaru, who had thought that she would protect the food this time, was worried about the outcome, but when he saw the maid taking action, he suddenly felt a little worried.
In fact, the reason why he enjoyed so much just now was all due to his acting skills.
After all, even if Akai Sayaka's cooking skills are very high, they are not so good that even he can eat them deliciously.
Whether it was lobster, eel, or steak, he had already eaten it... and quite often, because every time he ate with Brother Shinichi, it was such a high-end meal.
Why he did this was because he wanted to stimulate the loss aversion psychology of Shifengyuan Fubuki, that is, human nature is more afraid of losing than gaining.
First, by taking away her food, she stimulated this aspect of her psychology, and then made her realize the importance of her daughter, thus making the relationship between mother and daughter better.
At the same time, the steak was brought to him, and Kurosawa could only continue eating.
Fortunately, he does have a huge appetite, otherwise he would be starved to death.
"The food looks pretty cute."
Sifengyuan Fubuki saw him eating again. While sighing in his heart, he didn't forget to eat something.
Although she hated this guy, she found that she was not very disgusted when eating with Kurosawa Hikaru. Under his influence, today's dinner even made her want to eat more.
Maybe it was because his taste was so delicious that it made her feel interesting and fresh. As for the delicious food being taken away, she not only had no idea of protecting the food, but was happy to let him take more and wanted to eat more.
Kurosawa Hikaru was performing an eating performance, and he always felt that the way she looked at him was strange. It was hard to describe, and it made a woman's heart ache.
However, his intuition told him that today's dinner went well... Aunt Fubuki was in a good mood.
Unlike the initial dullness, the dinner ended in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere.
Although there are two maids tonight, Sayaka Akai is in charge of clearing the table.
After eating and drinking, they moved to the sofa in the living room and sat down.
"Now that we're full, let's talk about business."
Rich people pay attention to efficiency when doing things. After enjoying the pleasant dinner, Si Fengyuan Fubuki did not forget the purpose of this time.
"What's the matter?"
Hearing this, Kurosawa Hikaru asked.
"Don't you want to talk to me?"
Seeing him pretending to be dumbfounded, Sifengyuan Chuixue's mood suddenly dropped.
I took a special flight back to Tokyo and came here not just to have dinner with them.
"Yes, I want to talk to you, but not for anything serious."
Kurosawa Hikaru nodded to confirm the matter and explained.
"..."
Sifengyuan Chuixue looked at him and couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
"And I want to give you a gift, please accept it."
Seeing her silence, Kurosawa Hikaru thought for a moment, then put his hand into his pocket, took out something, put it on the table, and gently waved it in front of her with his hand.
It was a business card made of pure gold with a series of numbers engraved on it.
Sifengyuan Chuixue just took one look and was sure that this was the family head's business card. Although she had never seen the real thing, she had already known the characteristics of this thing.
"If you have any requirements, tell me."
Seeing this great gift, Si Fengyuan Fubuki didn't move or reach out to take it, but asked.
The world of adults is about courtesy and exchange of benefits.
This guy suddenly wanted to give him a gift, and he definitely had an agenda.
In fact, she could probably guess what Kurosawa's purpose was in giving her a gift.
"I have no request, I just want to give you the business card of the head of the family."
In response, Kurosawa Hikaru shook his head.
"There is no requirement, are you sure?"
Si Fengyuan Fubuki did not question this statement, but confirmed it.
This was a trick. As long as Kurosawa Hikaru dared to confirm, she would accept the gift without any scruples.
Although the communication between people is mostly bound by interests, it also pays attention to the spirit of contract, even if it is a verbal contract.
"I am sure."
Kurosawa Hikaru nodded, confirming this.
"Okay, then I'll accept it."
After receiving his verbal approval, Sifengyuan Chuixue's body finally moved, and he stretched out his hand to pick up the family head's business card.
There was no obstruction or verbal resistance, she got it easily.
"What on earth is he planning?"
Although he was happy that he got it, Shifengyuan Fubuki still kept calm and looked at Kurosawa Hikaru on the sofa opposite with doubts.
There is no way this guy doesn't know the value of the head of the family's business card.
Even if he doesn't know, he will definitely be told in the future.
After all, the family head's business card is very rare, and so far, there are very few holders in the world.
Its value is not limited to simply being made of pure gold, but the meaning it contains.
When a thing is given meaning, its value will far exceed its physical value.
Facing her suspicion, Kurosawa Hikaru did not dodge, but just looked at her with a smile.
"It's a bit late. Since you didn't ask for it, I'll go back."
Being stared at by him, Si Fengyuan Fubuki always felt weird and decided to go first.
As long as she walks out of this door, this business card of the head of the family will completely fall into her hands, and Kurosawa Hikaru will never find her and ask her for anything.
"Are you leaving so soon?"
Kurosawa Hikaru said in surprise when he saw her leaving.
"Today's schedule is quite busy, so I'm a little sleepy."
Sifengyuan Chuixue nodded slightly and explained.
"In that case, why not spend the night here? There are many rooms here."
"That's not necessary. The bed here is too small and I'm not used to it."
Faced with his attempts to stay, how could Sifengyuan Chuixue do as he wished, and break up with him first?
"Then why don't you sit down for a while? I want to talk to you some more."
"I have something else to do, maybe next time."
In response to his successive attempts to stay, Si Fengyuan Fubuki stood up and refuted.
No matter what Kurosawa's intentions are, as soon as she leaves this house, the business card of the head of the house belongs to her.
After that, she no longer cared about Kurosawa Hikaru's obstruction and started walking.
"Aunt Fubuki, wait a moment."
Before she could go far, Kurosawa Hikaru couldn't help but stood up and wanted to stop her.
However, facing his approach, the personal maid stopped in front of him.
This is the rule of the Akai family. Women of the Shifengyuan family are not allowed to come within one meter of the opposite sex without permission.
"I'm sleepy, Mr. Kurosawa. If you have anything to do, please wait until next time."
Seeing him being stopped by the maid, Sifengyuan Chuixue raised her lips slightly and said like a winner.
With the owner's business card in her hand, she didn't want to stay here for a long time.
However, before she could finish laughing, she saw the maid being grabbed by Hikaru Kurosawa with both hands, lifted up directly, and walked over step by step.
The maid, who has experienced many battles and is proficient in fighting skills, is a big living person. In front of Kurosawa Hikaru, she is as light as a model.
"Aunt Fubuki, if you have time next time, let's have dinner together."
Grabbing the maid with both hands, lifting her up and walking forward step by step, Kurosawa Hikaru said with a smile.
"Um."
Seeing his terrifying strength, Si Fengyuan Chuixue's body became a little stiff and she couldn't laugh anymore, so she nodded.
"That's it, see you next time."
After receiving her answer, Kurosawa put the maid down and smiled enthusiastically.
"See you next time."
Si Fengyuan Fubuki was not happy at all when faced with his enthusiasm, and left after responding.
The elevator stayed on this floor, and when pressed, it opened the door. A master and a servant rode the elevator, and as the elevator door closed, they officially left.
"Madam, he is very strong..."
In the elevator, the maid was still frightened by what had just happened. She pulled up her long sleeves with her hands. There was a clearly visible purple-blue finger print on her white arm.
This was the trace left behind when she was grabbed and lifted by Kurosawa Hikaru just now. With such terrifying power, she didn't even have the strength to backhand.
"I can tell."
Seeing this scene, Sifengyuan Chuixue held the family head's business card in her hand and was also frightened.
She knew very well the fighting power of a maid. Five grown men could not survive even 10 seconds in front of a maid, and they would be knocked down in one encounter.
…
"Let's go."
In the apartment, Kurosawa Hikaru saw the elevator door closing and said to himself.
"Is it really okay not to ask for anything?"
The mother finally left. Sifengyuan was relieved in the future, but also worried.
She didn't know if this was the best outcome.
"It's better not to make a request than to make a request. It's impossible for her to feel at ease when she takes away the family head's business card for nothing. Although she is passive, the debt of gratitude is the hardest to repay. Even if I make a mistake in the future, she will weigh it herself."
However, Kurosawa Hikaru was not worried, smiled and comforted him.
