Chapter 17 Maki's Sweet Wine “It looks like a simple drink” Maki Miyazawa looked at the sweet wine in her hand with some suspicion. She felt that Zeshan Haruno was underestimating her. Although she had never drunk alcohol before, it should be okay to drink even a small cup, right? Besides, it doesn't smell like alcohol, but rather a faint mixture of vanilla and mango. “You’ll be able to taste it later.” Zeshan Haruno said bluntly: "It's good enough that you have something to drink, why are you so picky?" He was mixing a cocktail that would suit him and didn't have the time to care what Maki Miyazawa was thinking. Besides, with the experience of my past and present lives combined, how could I make a failed product for her? After eating the ice cream dessert floating on top, the bottom is the taste of wine she wanted. When making it before, the amount was also according to Miyazawa Mana. It is impossible for Miyazawa Maki not to taste it, unless she has a problem with her taste buds. "Do you have a spoon?"
As there was food, Miyazawa Maki didn't take Sawayama Haruno's "blame" to heart. After asking for a small silver spoon, she excitedly ran to the living room with the sweet wine and sat down to eat. The weather in Tokyo in July can be said to be extremely hot. Although the air conditioner in Sawayama Haruno's house is very powerful, you will still feel irritated if you stand in a place where the air conditioner cannot reach. The kitchen is naturally such a place. Maki Miyazawa had just watched the whole process in the kitchen. Although she did not sweat, she felt the temperature difference to some extent. Now, there was a glass of icy, sweet liqueur with mango ice cream floating on it in front of her. It would be difficult for anyone to resist this temptation. "what--" "what happened?" As soon as Sawayama Haruno came out after mixing the drinks, he saw Miyazawa Maki with a frown on her face. "My teeth are frozen. I should have known not to eat such a big piece." She looked a little annoyed, but quickly added, "It tastes okay, just like ice cream." "If your ice cream doesn't taste like ice cream, what else can it taste like?" Sawayama Haruno sat down, took a sip of his bubbling cocktail, the stimulating liquid in his mouth dispelled the feeling of the summer heat, and the comfort from the bottom of his heart made him squint slightly. This is how the Second Life should be enjoyed. "What's that in your cup?" While eating ice cream with a small silver spoon, Maki Miyazawa stared at Sawayama Haruno's drink with evil intentions. It looks just as delicious, and there are bubbles coming out of it. Is it because of soda water or cola? "My drink has a higher alcohol content than yours, so you can drink your own." Sawayama Haruno said unhappily. The alcohol content of his drink was indeed higher than the one he gave to Miyazawa Maki. The main reason was that he didn't pay attention to the proper measure when mixing the cocktail. After all, he didn't use Coca-Cola when mixing this drink in his previous life. In addition, there seemed to be extremely subtle differences between the brands sold abroad. For ordinary people, they may not even be able to taste the difference, but for Sawayama Haruno, it is easy to tell the difference. "I should switch to a different cola next time, but there are too many sugar-free cola drinks in the island country." Zeshan Haruno felt his nose itchy and couldn't help rubbing it. However, as soon as he raised his hand, the phone rang. The lit phone screen showed only a simple nickname - mother.
Sawayama Haruno was slightly startled, then immediately put down the wine, took his cell phone and walked towards his bedroom. After entering the room and leaving the door ajar, he answered the phone without thinking. "Hello, mother?" After all, he was chatting with his family, so Sawayama Haruno's tone unconsciously softened a lot. He was reborn in this parallel world, which means he was raised by his parents since childhood. Naturally, the family affection is deeper than that of a time traveler. What's more, before he went to college and became independent, his family gave him a lot of real help. Although we live separately now, one in Osaka and the other in Tokyo, the feelings we once had for each other will not diminish in the slightest. But his thoughts did not necessarily represent his mother's thoughts, because the other party was saying in a blaming tone: "Why didn't you come back for so long?" "Mom, it's not time for the holiday yet." Hearing what the other party said, Zeshan Haruno felt overwhelmed and quickly explained: "It's still a while before the next long vacation. I can't go back even if I want to." "Did you come back during the last Golden Week?" Hearing that Sawayama Haruno was still making excuses, the mother immediately flew into a rage. Naturally, she had her reasons for being so angry. It wasn't really related to the fact that Sawayama Haruno hadn't returned to his hometown for a long time, but that the last time he returned home, he was still dating Miyazawa Mana. It was also during the Golden Week of the senior year of high school. Before leaving for Atami, Haruno Sawayama and Mana Miyazawa stayed at their hometown for one night. Although it was only one night, Sawayama Haruno's mother was deeply impressed by the well-behaved girl, and was even more proud of her son who found a good wife at such a young age. As a result, before he had the chance to go back to his hometown for the next long vacation, Sawayama Haruno had already broken up with Miyazawa Mana, which almost angered his mother to death. It was precisely because of this relationship that Zeshan Haruno didn't dare to go back some time ago. Of course, he definitely couldn't say that, so Zeshan Haruno had to bite the bullet and lie: "I didn't go back during the Golden Week last time because I had to help my senior and tutor at school. Didn't I already say that?" "How long have you been in school? How can you help?" Zeshan Haruno's mother exposed the truth without hesitation and said unhappily, "Are you a science student? How can you, a liberal arts student, help others? You are currently exposed to general education. Do you have professional knowledge?" I have, I really do. Sawayama Haruno didn't dare to say a word and could only passively endure the scolding. There's nothing I can do. My mother loves Mana so much that when she heard that the two had broken up, she called me every day to sigh and complain, which gave me a headache. If I talk back now, there is a good chance that my family will come to Tokyo to teach me a lesson. "I'm telling you." The mother on the other end of the phone didn't know what Sawayama Haruno was thinking about. When she saw that he was silent, she began to persuade him earnestly. Anyway, the general meaning is that Haruno has now been admitted to the University of Tokyo, and they no longer need to worry about his future. The only thing they are worried about is the relationship between him and Mana. Sawayama Haruno's mother chattered on about this for quite a while. When she felt a little tired and was about to stop, she heard other strange noises coming from Sawayama Haruno's side. (End of this chapter)
