National Tide 1980.

Chapter 884 Lucky Star

"Hahaha, what are you talking about. I'm not that kind of person, so I don't want to go out with you at night!"

"Don't say that, how about we go to the store later, don't you like leather bags? May I buy one for you?"

"Really? Will you take me to buy a leather bag later? I don't want a normal one. If it's an LV one, I can consider it..."

"What's there, isn't it just a brand-name leather bag? If you want the stars and the moon in the sky, I'll pick them off and give them to you. As long as you...well, give me a kiss..."

"Oh, Mr. Asakura, you are really good and bad. You are just like this when I first met you. Can't you behave yourself? I'm going to tell your mother that you bully girls..."

"What, tell my mother? Haha, then my mother will definitely say, if you treat me well, I will treat you even better..."

The restaurant was becoming more and more noisy, especially when there were a few abrupt, quite disgusting voices, which made Ning Weimin couldn't help turning his head to look indoors.

It turned out that it was a pair of men and women of mismatched ages sitting in the room on the other side of the floor-to-ceiling glass, who were unscrupulous and loud.

The man is about 50 to [-] years old, a balding middle-aged man, and looks very rich in clothes from the back.

Although the woman has very gorgeous makeup and desperately dresses up to be mature, she is only in her twenties.

The reason why it can be concluded that they are not father and daughter is that the content of what they say is not suitable for children.

It was also because their speech and behavior were out of line, the bald man ordered a lot of ice cream, and was feeding spoonfuls of ice cream into the woman's mouth in a half-forced, half-coaxing way.

And the woman sitting with the man was full of dust, giggling as if no one else was there, her body twisted and twisted like a sticky candy, as sweet as ice cream.

Such a scene of pushing, shoving, and flirting, not only Ning Weimin looked at hot eyes, but even the Japanese couldn't stand it.

In fact, the surroundings of these two people were instantly emptied, and at least four or five people avoided them and left.

Because to be honest, in fact, the Japanese are far more conservative in dating than those in China, and it is very taboo to show affection in public.

Many couples will neither hold hands nor make love to each other in front of others.

Basically get along and talk like normal friends in public.

Even after some couples confirm their relationship, they will not tell others specifically, but only tell their best friends.

Any displays of intimacy and private conversations are often limited to when the two of them are private rather than in public.

It is basically in line with the facts that the Japanese are described in literary works as being gentle, polite, and always restrained and close to each other.

But it’s just that there are quite a few special cases among the Japanese who go to extremes, and they are often the kind that are particularly exaggerated, who like to use their lives to make fun of them, and wish to be able to shock people to death.

For example, bosozoku, such as Shamat, such as a pseudonym who wears good women's clothing, such as a Japanese girl who worships Europe and the United States to the point of darkening her skin and dyeing her blonde hair.

Obviously, the man and woman that Ning Weimin saw today are also such a strange thing.

I don't know if they are regulars in the folk industry, but looking at the appearance of this couple, it seems that they regard this place as a folk shop on Kabukicho Street.

"How could the Giants do this! Kiyohara is such a good player! Why do you have to play him like this! Wang Zhenzhi is really vicious! Kuwahara is not enough friends! Do you think so?"

"Nani? How can this matter be blamed on Sang Tian? Would you still refuse the invitation from the Giants?"

"Bastard, what a bastard! Don't friends matter? Don't giri matter? I think you are a selfish person inside and out!"

"What did you say? You childish fool!"

Coincidentally, when Ning Weimin was in a daze, there was a loud noise behind Qu Xiao, which startled the girl.

When Ning Weimin turned his attention, he realized that there were a few young people who were probably baseball fans sitting at the table behind Qu Xiao and drinking together, arguing emotionally and knocking over the bottles.

And what they are arguing about is the "KK draft incident" that happened not long ago in the Japanese professional baseball circle.

This thing is really bloody.

Kuwata Masumi and Kiyohara Kazuhiro, the two studied in high school at PL Academy, a famous baseball school in Osaka.

Sang Tian's ace pitcher, Kiyohara four bats and first base, not only like-minded friends who fight side by side, but also because the initials of their surnames are all k, people in the world call them "kk combination".

They almost swept Koshien in three years of high school, two championships, two runners-up, and one semi-final.

After graduating from college in 1985, they had to consider their future prospects.

Kiyohara wanted to join the Giants team he had dreamed of since he was a child. At that time, only his teammate Masumi Kuwata could compete with him.

And Sang Tian kept saying that he wanted to study at Waseda University first instead of playing professional baseball, which made Kiyohara more confident.

But the end result was astounding.

Supervisor Wang Zhenzhi of the Giants reached an agreement with Sang Tian privately, and Sang Tian was still selected on the day of the draft.

The giant Sangtian also joined the team happily, and the whole country was in an uproar.

Feeling betrayed by his friends, Qingyuan wept in public, and in the end he could only join the "rural team" Seibu.

To put it bluntly, this matter is probably a story of falling flowers, intentional flow and ruthlessness.

Qing Yuan is like an idiot, and the giant of unrequited love was dumped unilaterally, like mutton slices.

But this matter is not over yet. What is even more legendary is that under the encouragement of his mother, Kiyohara, who could only join the Seibu team, vowed revenge. He vowed to defeat the Giants.

And soon he actually did.

Two years later, in the 1987 Japanese Professional Baseball Finals, Kiyohara led the Seibu team to a successful counterattack, overthrowing the Giants that Kuwata joined and winning the championship.

It can be said that because of his joining, Seibu's golden decade began.

Of course, such an ending is something for later.

Right now, the brotherhood of Kiyohara and Kuwata broke up because of the Giants, which is the hot topic of discussion among all baseball fans.

So until now more than a month has passed, there are still people who express their dissatisfaction with this matter stubbornly because of the injustice of Qingyuan, and they will scold their mothers whenever they mention it.

However, Kuwahara has a lot of fans, so the fans on both sides will argue endlessly.

Even if you are in a hurry, you will do it.

You know, the favorite sport of the Japanese is baseball, which can be said to be a national sport.

Their obsession with baseball is not much less than that of the British with football.

So often these people drink too much and talk about baseball, which will also be an inducement for conflict danger.

So in this case, no matter how reluctant, this meeting has to end.

Obviously, the chaotic environment here is no longer suitable for Ning Weimin and Qu Xiao to continue their conversation.

What's more, many restaurants and bars in Japan have a very special rule.

That is, only one group of guests is allowed to stay for an hour and a half to two hours.

When the time is up, the store will chase people away. If you are not enjoying yourself, you can only find another place to continue.

This is why there are "two sessions", "three sessions" and continuous "N sessions" in Japanese drinking culture.

In fact, there is nothing cool about it at all. To put it bluntly, this is the result of being bombarded by the store.

Just like that, looking at his watch, Ning Weimin took the lead in raising his wine glass and made a gesture of clinking glasses.

Qu Xiao also held up her lemonade, smiled tacitly and touched Ning Weimin lightly.

"I have to go to the bathroom, wait for me a moment. Let's go when I come back."

After drinking the wine in the glass, Ning Weimin stood up, pointed to the location of the bathroom, and left.

Qu Xiao, in the chaotic environment, looked for the waiters everywhere, trying to call people over to pay the bill.

Unexpectedly, she spent a lot of effort and finally called a waiter, and Ning Weimin had already returned with the paid bill in his hand.

"It's none of your business, the account has been settled."

Ning Weimin said to the waiter nonchalantly.

The waiter looked at the bill of more than 3 yen, bowed, and then withdrew.

Of course Qu Xiao was in a daze, with a look of surprise and a little anxiety.

"Hey? Didn't you say I'm treating you today?"

"In the future, there is still a chance."

Qu Xiao finally understood, anger could not help appearing on his face.

"Oh! How can you be so deceitful! I will never believe your words next time, and you are not allowed to go to the bathroom in the future!"

"Okay, let's talk about it next time. You also bring this..."

Talking like coaxing a child, Ning Weimin gave Qu Xiao another beautifully packaged box.

"What is this?" The little girl was still angry, talking like a cat baring its teeth.

"The cheese and almond cake you like." But Ning Weimin told him gently and considerately without any fear.

"Such a big one! I don't want it, it will make me fat." Qu Xiao shook his head resolutely, rejecting this kindness.

"Impossible, you haven't eaten much today, I'm afraid you'll faint from hunger on the way."

However, Ning Weimin didn't allow Qu Xiao to refuse, he forcefully stuffed the cake into her hand as if he was forcing it.

"Be obedient. If you really don't want to eat, you can bring it to your colleagues. Didn't someone accompany you to Tokyo? If you ask for leave and leave the team, they will wait for you. Isn't it?"

Qu Xiao lowered his head, avoiding Ning Weimin's aggressive gaze.

Just at this time, the entire western restaurant suddenly became more noisy.

It turned out that a dozen or so young people who were extremely excited for some reason came to the second floor just now.

Some of them popped champagne, some whistled, some threw paper balls.

As a result, Ning Weimin and Qu Xiao didn't want to stay here for a while, so they stopped their tit-for-tat confrontation and left Hardy's bar decisively.

After leaving the gate, the two walked eastward one after the other.

Ning Weimin originally wanted to give Qu Xiao a taxi ticket, but Qu Xiao refused to accept it, so Ning Weimin had no choice but to send Qu Xiao to the subway.

However, along the way, the two were still a little awkward.

As the "loser" side, Qu Xiao was very angry, and he didn't speak for at least 10 minutes.

But despite this on the surface, the little girl's heart is not like this.

It can be called mixed flavors and indescribable complex emotions.

On the one hand, she was really annoyed and embarrassed because she didn't get the dinner as planned.

On the other hand, he was happy for Ning Weimin's unexpected but always careful thoughtfulness and thoughtfulness.

As for Ning Weimin, of course he was not angry at all, he just thought this scene was a bit funny.

Silently followed Qu Xiao, as if he had personally participated in the filming of a Japanese TV drama and was experiencing the scene of a couple quarreling in the drama.

Finally, they passed through a fork in the road and came to the subway entrance.

Ning Weimin stood still here, called Qu Xiao to stop, and, like an elder, gave his final instructions earnestly.

"Okay, Xiaoqu, I'll send you here. Don't be angry, aren't you so stingy? Just because of our relationship, can't we even joke about this? If you say I'm a restaurant owner, I can still Asking you to pay for dinner? If you spread the word, I still have face! What’s more, if you really want to invite, spending money to treat will not show sincerity. The real treat has to be done by yourself, you know? Fried sauce noodles, stewed noodles, dumplings , Confused, these can show the sincerity of the master..."

"You tell me I'm hungry. I want to eat it myself. Okay, let's do it next time. It's okay this time. Next time I buy something, I'll make it."

Qu Xiao finally laughed.

To say that this girl is really easy to coax, she threw away her petty temper with a few words, and she is as gentle as usual.

"That's right, if you are short of money in the future, you are welcome to come to me to borrow money. If you are short of food, you are welcome to come to me for a meal. If you are bored or distressed, just call me. Never forget, you are here There is still a brother in Tokyo who can’t walk alone. Hey, if you’re hungry on the road, eat cake. Don’t worry too much about your weight and feel wronged. Otherwise, your parents will feel sorry for you if they know about it. It’s even worse if you really get anorexia , then I will have a bad conscience for dragging you onto a pirate ship..."

"Haha, I remembered. Brother Ning, thank you again. I had a great day today, I am very happy. It is a pity that I couldn't find a place with few people to chat. Otherwise, it would be perfect. Tokyo is so impetuous, everywhere It's the smell of money. Unlike our capital city, which has history and the smell of books. It would be great if there is a place where people can relax and drink tea comfortably..."

The sun was about to set, and the setting sun shone on the glass of the shops on the road, emitting colorful lights.

At this moment, a kind of contradictory, but extremely life-like light shines on Ning Weimin's body, and also on Qu Xiao's ponytail.

Although waving goodbye to Ning Weimin, Qu Xiao turned his head again and again, and fell towards the ground with nostalgia.

However, until she got into the never-ending underground tunnel, Ning Weimin, who had been standing still while staring at her back, was not responding to her emotions with this behavior, let alone the seeds of infatuation.

To be honest, in fact, Ning Weimin was only accidentally inspired by Qu Xiao's last casual remark, and fell into deep thought.

Yes, what this girl said is right, the busier and bustling the city is, the more people need to seek peace of mind.

Moreover, in Japan at present, it seems that there are really no literature and art bookstores where you can drink coffee, tea, and eat simple meals.

Although there are many coffee shops, there is no trace of Starbucks, which targets white-collar women.

Moreover, the general environment of Japanese cafes is chaotic and lacks comfort, and most of them are cheap.

If this is the case, it means that there is a large market gap that needs to be filled.

Then why didn't he try to be the first one?

The foundation of the bookstore is completely ready-made.

If the direction is correct, you should be able to completely solve this problem without spending too much money.

Hey, this girl seems to be my lucky star.
