National Tide 1980.

This feeling is really wonderful, and it makes people have mixed tastes.

Because according to the traditional oriental aesthetics, heroes have always saved beauties.

As a result, it was completely reversed today.

Under the gaze of so many eyes, it was the big beauty who parked her sports car, and rescued Ning Weimin, who was like a drowned chicken, from the wind and rain, thunder and trembling.

This subtle feeling even made Ning Weimin lose control as if he was drunk for a while.

So much so that when he was about to open the car door, he didn't pay attention and stepped on the mud.

Stepped on the side of the road in that maddening, big puddle full of sewage.

Hey!This is great, joy begets sorrow!
Not only Ning Weimin felt that one of his feet was completely soaked.

Moreover, I pulled up my foot and looked at the foot submerged in the sewage. It seemed that it was inconvenient to get on the car again.

However, what Ning Weimin did not expect was that the woman in front of him was so determined.

He encouraged and urged him in the car without hesitation, and invited him to get in the car.

"But my shoes..."

"It's ok."

"No, it's too dirty, it will stain your car..."

"I said it's okay."

"OK then……"

There was another flash of lightning and thunder, and Ning Weimin really felt that he could no longer refuse when faced with the woman's affectionate and beautiful eyes.

So he had no choice but to sit in the cabin with unspeakable embarrassment and extreme regret.

Sitting on the soft, warm, comfortable, calfskin-textured sports car passenger seat.

"Quickly wipe it off with this..."

The woman actually thoughtfully handed him a sapphire blue thin velvet blanket.

"Thank you, but it's okay, no need..."

In gratitude, Ning Weimin glanced at the blanket and immediately rejected it.

The blanket was soft and smooth, very light and thin.

But precisely because it is a well-known logo, it shows a high price.

He was embarrassed to accept this kindness.

"Well, you're going to catch a cold."

The woman turned her face, still persisted in stuffing the blanket into Ning Weimin's hands, and asked softly.

"Where are you going?"

"I...I'm going to the bookstore."

The sports car is back on the move, but it's slow and not wild at all.

It's like a lady walking in the rain with her lover in her arms.

"Oh? Do you still have to return books in this weather?"

"Well, it's mainly something that has already been agreed, so it's not easy to change it. And there are still people waiting for me in the store..."

"Hey? So you're dating your girlfriend?"

As soon as the words came out, even the woman herself was surprised.

I don't understand why I would ask such a private question out of the blue.

"How is it possible? No."

Ning Weimin shook his head and repeatedly denied it.

"There are some things in the bookstore, and the store needs my help."

"Oh, that's right. It's really hard to work two jobs."

"It's okay, in fact, I don't go to the bookstore often, I just help out occasionally."

Facing Ning Weimin's answer, the woman became more and more embarrassed, and quickly changed the subject.

"So where is the bookstore located?"

"Nishi Azabu 2-chome, in the middle of that street, called Huiwentang Bookstore..."

"Huh? So close? I don't seem to have noticed. Well, it should be there soon."

Just like that, the sports car drove towards the increasingly dense rain with that beautiful blue color like an elf.

And on the bus platform, looking at the blue light that has completely disappeared, I don't know how many people have silently lamented the injustice of this world!
People are more popular than dead people!
After a long time, the restless crowd gradually returned to the state before the blue sports car appeared, and many people once again looked anxiously at the location where the bus should appear.

As for Ning Weimin who was sitting in the car, after slowly wiping off the rainwater from his head, face and clothes with an expensive thin velvet blanket, he was much more relaxed than before.

This allowed him to be more able to put himself in the woman's shoes and consider issues from the other's point of view while thanking the woman sincerely.

"The car was dirty by me. I'm so sorry. I don't know how to express my gratitude. Is there a tissue in the car? When you get off the car, I'll help you wipe the sewage under the seat. If you clean it up tomorrow In the car, I must bear the expenses incurred..."

While talking, Ning Weimin folded up the thin fleece blanket he had just used.

He often deals with clothing, and he has become extremely agile and familiar with folding fabrics.

So the thin fleece blanket he folded was so neat that it looked like it had just been unpacked.

For this reason, women feel a sense of sexy inexplicably.

At the same time, it seems to be mixed with appreciation, joy, tacit understanding, and longing...

Can't help but be thrilled.

"You're welcome, it really doesn't matter. Aren't you also helping me sell the house?"

"It's not the same thing. It's my job to help you sell your house, and I want to make money..."

"Then the advice you gave me was also for making money?"

"This... I was indeed a little rash just now, and it seems that I said something that shouldn't be said. If it troubles you... I'm sorry."

"Why do you apologize? Just because you put yourself in my shoes?"

The woman smiled at first, then turned her face around, showing a worried look.

"However, it is difficult to guarantee the income from selling the house? If I finally decide not to sell the house, not only will you not be able to get the commission, but it will be difficult for the company to explain it? And the one I didn't meet today Miss Kagawa, will she blame you afterwards? You seem to have said that you are her assistant, right?"

"No, it's okay, you don't need to worry about me. Do you remember what I said? The appreciation of the yen will make Tokyo real estate hot. To tell you the truth, in fact, since the "Plaza Accord", all real estate agencies in the entire Tokyo The business volume has been increasing rapidly. So even if you change your mind, the company will not care about it. Besides, Xiangchuan is a very good person, and he has always taken good care of me, and he will never get angry over such a trivial matter .”

"That's it, then I can rest assured. If you say that, you have a good personal relationship with Kagawa-senior in this company, right?"

"Well, I'm already a friend. Kagawa is a very careful and enthusiastic person. I have not been in Tokyo for a long time. I have benefited from her guidance in many aspects of life here. And her fiancé Zuo Hai , and helped me a lot. If I didn’t know them, I would definitely have a lot of troubles in my life.”

"That's right, it sounds like you know they are very good people. Although I haven't met, I think they must be a good match, right?"

"Are you talking about Kagawa and Zuo Hai? Yes, they are a very good couple. They met in Tokyo. They should be getting married soon. It can be said that this dreamy city contributed to their fate... "

"Ha, your expression sounds like a romantic movie. It seems that you have a talent for screenwriting..."

The two of them just chatted with each other, and it sounded like nothing important, but both of them were very relaxed on the surface.

But in fact, this is not the case in their hearts. Instead, each of them is secretly stretching a string.

Speaking of it, it's a bit like the windshield wipers swinging back and forth outside the car window, trying their best to fight against the stains caused by the wind and rain.

It is necessary to scrub the car windshield that is already very clear until it is spotless, and it is harsh to a sterile state.

Unknowingly, the rain became smaller.

The blue sports car slowly turned a curve, getting closer and closer to the destination.

The woman was actually driving quite slowly, all the time, just like the word-for-word insinuations in the conversation just now, which was undoubtedly her intention.

For nothing else, just because of such a short distance, she found that her inner loneliness and panic were cured.

For many years, no matter how grand the banquets and ceremonies, she would feel alone.

Only when she gets along with Ning Weimin today, she is not lonely at all.

Things in the world are often like this.

Pompous feasting and dancing are both inducements to solitude.

And strange men and women get along quietly under certain special circumstances, but it is a good medicine that can cure loneliness.

"I've read "The Golden Pavilion" before, but I've almost forgotten it now. I only remember the theme of the novel. This book seems to be about the destruction of beauty..."

After a moment of silence, the woman suddenly remembered the book she borrowed today.

Then I had nothing to say, and changed the subject again.

Unexpectedly, Ning Weimin said so.

"Yes. But I personally don't like the subject matter of this book. I even feel a little bit against it."

"Why?" the woman asked curiously.

"Because it's too extreme. It's too negative."

Ning Weimin paused, "The point of view of this book is to pursue a pure extreme. The author believes that beauty must be destroyed in the end, and the most beautiful is the destroyed. He also believes that death is more beautiful than life. If a person dies, the body can only be destroyed. Buried deep in the ground and rotten, the soul can go to heaven. Because the body belongs to existence, the soul is more beautiful."

"Is this view wrong? I think there is some truth to it. The most beautiful things are often destroyed... Sometimes the world hides dirt. The most beautiful things must not be willing to compromise, unwilling to linger on, so they are destroyed .”

"But if everyone has such extreme ideas, there will be no peace in this world. People who live happily will never agree with such views. We all know that life has never been easy. It’s all the same. No matter what social status we are in, everyone has their own troubles. So what? Isn’t social harmony based on mutual tolerance and understanding? Willing to compromise. This is often an excuse for people who lack wisdom and fighting power. It can only reflect the pessimism of self-abandonment. A capable person will never do this, facing a powerful force. A smart person will not be in a hurry, but will Just like playing chess, advance and retreat are well-founded and make choices. Then grow yourself slowly in forbearance, wait for a good opportunity, and finally realize your ideals with the least costly method. Isn’t that what Ieyasu Tokugawa is like?”

Ning Weimin's words made the woman think, as if she remembered something.

"This...that's right...your idea...is really fresh."

Ning Weimin took a quick look and was immediately attracted by the woman's expression.

Especially the bridge of her nose is straight and slender, with a faint halo at the tip of her nose, just like finely carved suet jade.

This made him couldn't help but think, her skin is really good enough to endorse any big-name cosmetics.

But it was also because of this that Ning Weimin suddenly woke up.

To be honest, he didn't know what Yukio Mishima's death meant to other Japanese people.

It is unclear whether the Japanese hold Tokugawa Ieyasu with respect.

It's even more unclear what his words reminded the woman of.

But this kind of slightly sad expression is undoubtedly unpleasant.

So I was afraid that what I said just now offended something that a woman cherished in her heart.

To be cautious, he quickly changed the subject.

"Have you... been to the Golden Pavilion?"

"I've been there a few times."

"What does the real Golden Pavilion look like?"

"It's really beautiful. It's in the middle of the lake, but it's not big."

"Really? I really want to see it."

"It's not difficult. You should go and see."

Sure enough, changing the subject worked.

Leaving the illusory topic of ideology, the woman gradually became excited when the real places of interest were mentioned, full of interest.

"There is also a Ginkaku-ji Temple in Kyoto. Seriously, if you have time, it's best to live in Kyoto for the first half of the year. There are many temples and shrines that are worth seeing..."

It's just that the woman's thoughts were confused, and the road almost went astray.

Seeing the intersection, the woman's eyes were still staring straight ahead without any change, Ning Weimin couldn't help reminding.

"There should be a left turn ahead."

The woman hurriedly turned the steering wheel to correct the mistake.

Fortunately, the speed is not fast, there is no danger.

"Yeah, sorry, I almost passed it."

Ning Weimin pointed to the street ahead on the right and said, "It doesn't matter, there is a bookstore ahead, just stop there."

Before you know it, you will finally reach your destination.

The woman slowly stopped the sports car at the place Ning Weimin pointed out, and then turned to look into the store.

Huiwentang's bookstore has a large appearance, but because of disrepair, it looks very simple.

Especially being flanked by foreign-style and high-end hotels and restaurants on the left and right, the bookstore looks even more shabby.

It even got to the point where even the car parked in front of the bookstore was somewhat incongruous.

As soon as the sports car stopped at the door, people in the shop were attracted to look out through the glass windows.

To be honest, the situation in the bookstore today is not bad.

Because it was raining after all, there were more customers in the bookstore.

It can be seen through the glass window that there are still a few people shaking in the shop that had been deserted after the cultural festival.

Those are definitely the guests who came in to flip through the books to avoid the rain.

But having said that, it was precisely because of this that Ning Weimin's personal situation became more and more unsatisfactory, causing women to have a lot of misunderstandings.

It further touched women's sensitivity, compassion, regret, and natural motherhood.

"I'm leaving, thank you very much for giving me a ride. Sorry to trouble you."

Before getting off the car, Ning Weimin bowed again to express his thanks.

"You're welcome." The woman still smiled calmly and gently.

However, just as Ning Weimin got out of the car, closed the car door, stood outside the car window, and was about to watch the woman leave.

The woman took down the car window again, leaned forward and called him to stop, "Do you... want to work in a film studio or a performing arts company?"

"what?"

"I mean, have you considered changing to a part-time job? If you want, I can contact you for you. If you join a production crew to help out, there will be [-] yen a day. If you can play a small role, there is also Additional labor costs. You have a good image, you should have a chance to be selected by the director, and maybe you can earn a little more money. If you go to a performing arts company, the work will be easier, and this is the remuneration..."

However, Ning Weimin still couldn't accept her kindness.

"No, thank you. I'm quite satisfied with my current income. I won't trouble you."

So the woman had no choice, she thought that Ning Weimin refused her help purely because of his youth and fragile self-esteem.

"Okay then. If the house still needs to be sold, I will entrust you to do it."

"Okay, thank you very much, I am willing to help you."

Ning Weimin nodded, and couldn't help smiling.

"Now I am convinced that you must be a big star. Unfortunately, I only know your last name. Can you tell me your full name? To be honest, I really regret it. I have a camera, but I am not ashamed to ask you to take a photo requirements."

When the woman listened, she couldn't help laughing, and smiled again.

She simply reached out and opened the purse, took out a silver business card and handed it over.

"This is my business card. If you have anything to do, you can call me. If you can keep the secret strictly, maybe we will meet again next time, and I will take a photo with you..."

After saying this, the woman gave a final smile, closed the window, and started the car.

Along the road, the blue sports car slowly left the bookstore.

Even during this process, the woman couldn't help but continue to peek at Ning Weimin through the rearview mirror.

Peep at the plain windbreaker that is still standing in the rain despite the wind and rain.

And Ning Weimin also didn't bother to run into the bookstore to shelter from the rain, so he just looked at the content on the business card.

There is no redundant text on it, and it is so concise that there is no title or position, only a name and a phone number.

Keiko Matsumoto?

Intuitively, Ning Weimin vaguely felt that he had heard the name on the business card in China and had a certain impression.

But I racked my brains and thought about it carefully, but I still couldn't remember where I heard it.

Watching the car gradually go away, it is like a blurred light and shadow, gradually pulling away and disappearing.

Ning Weimin felt more and more confused.

Who is this beautiful woman?

Is it a singer or a movie star?
Did you appear in Momoe Yamaguchi's TV series?
Or played a role in Takakura Ken's movie?
Witnesses, hunts, calls from distant mountains, happy yellow handkerchiefs...

Ashin, Blood Suspect, Zi Sanshiro, female volleyball player...

Why can't I remember it?
There are not many Japanese film and television dramas imported from China, right?

Is it an advertising star?
That's right, with such a face and demeanor, it's impossible not to be the protagonist if you star in a film and television drama.

If that's the case, she is destined to steal the protagonist's play...
