National Tide 1980

Chapter 941: Encounter again

After visiting Kyoto, you can actually go to Arashiyama nearby. Lan

Arashiyama is not an attraction, but a scenic spot.

There are not only many ancient temples and courtyards there, but you can also take a small train to visit the distant mountain cols.

Then take a small wooden boat to drift upstream for more than an hour back to Arashiyama, which is especially suitable for travelers with an adventurous spirit.

But considering it is winter, some projects are obviously not suitable.

What's more, Ning Weimin spent more than three million yen in Kyoto and bought too many antiques.

It would be inconvenient to take these delicate instruments to the mountains.

If you really bump into one or two things and the loss is not calculated in terms of money, it would be a shame for the ancestors. Lan

So Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko decided after discussion that they would not go to Arashiyama at all and would talk about it later if they had the chance.

They redesigned and decided to divert to Nara, the first capital in Japan's history, and then visit Osaka, Japan's second largest international city.

After that, it’s almost time to turn around and go back to Tokyo.

With this arrangement, their trip not only visited several well-known major cities in Japan, but also learned about the style of ancient Japanese rural towns.

We not only visited famous historical and cultural cities like Kyoto and Nara, but also visited leisurely and peaceful small towns like Kanazawa.

At the same time, I also experienced the taste of famous hot springs and Japanese-style hotels, and tasted famous Japanese cuisine from various places along the way.

It can be said that it is quite perfect. Lan

It can be regarded as an in-depth tour of Japan where you can watch quietly, walk slowly, and savor everything carefully.

Of course, what is even better is the rapid development of the relationship between Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko during this trip.

For them, this is more like a honeymoon trip that makes them become one, which is even more meaningful.

As a result, as the trip came to an end, they cherished the last happiness of the trip even more.

Therefore, he is tireless and enthusiastic, which increases his interest in playing and enjoying.

In short, when they arrived in Nara happily, they not only visited the Tangzhaoti Temple built by Master Jianzhen when he traveled to Japan, visited the famous Great Buddha Temple, fed sika deer in Nara Park, and saw the Chinese culture in the Nara Museum A large number of Tang Dynasty cultural relics.

Moreover, Ning Weimin also found a pair of three-color figurines of the Heavenly Kings from the Tang Dynasty and several volumes of ancient scriptures from the Tang and Song Dynasties in the antiquities market in Nara, which was a huge gain. Lan

Even the fortune seekers at Dahuayan Temple are very lucky.

So both Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko felt a kind of heartfelt relief.

They were all very fond of Nara and didn't want to leave.

However, the most unexpected thing was an encounter.

While they were happily eating at a tempura restaurant at night, the most amazing thing happened.

Here they actually met the woman who had rescued them on the way to Takayama in Shirakawa Township a few days ago.

It was after nine o'clock in the evening. In a medium-sized city like Nara, once the dining peak is missed, there will be few customers in restaurants of all sizes. Lan

Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko specially chose this time to come.

They wanted to keep it quiet, so they sat in the corner after entering the store, especially Keiko Matsumoto, who specially chose a seat with her back to the store owner.

These are all necessary measures to prevent Matsumoto Keiko from being recognized.

As for their behavior, although it was a bit too sweet and intimate, it didn't seem too offensive in this tourist city.

After all, many couples and newlyweds often use Nara as a tourist destination, and those who go out to play are always more enthusiastic than ordinary people.

They were regarded by the shop owner and the few customers as a pair of male and female tourists who were in love.

To be honest, everything feels good when they sit here, the environment is clean and the food is delicious. Lan

The only bad thing was that after ordering, Matsumoto Keiko accidentally dropped the food on her sleeve when feeding Ning Weimin with tachyon.

So I had to quickly lower my head and run into the restroom of the store to clean up the oil stains and sauce.

It was at this time that, by coincidence, the woman who had been rescued by them also walked into the store to eat.

She still had the fisherman's hat on her head and a scarf around her face.

However, she didn't even have time to respond to the shop owner's greeting. She just looked around the interior of the restaurant and recognized Ning Weimin with her eyes.

After all, it was the benefactor who saved him a few days ago.

That day, she had to wait less than two hours for Ning Weimin's car. She almost thought she was going to spend the night in the car. Lan

How frightened she was at that time, how grateful she was to Ning Weimin.

Especially when she later discovered that the man who saved her was quite young and handsome.

He has a good temperament, is polite and does not ask for anything in return.

A good impression naturally arose spontaneously, and I remembered his appearance very clearly.

In fact, she couldn't forget this incident these days.

There is both guilt that cannot be overcome by conscience and regret that cannot be repaid.

So she was naturally surprised to be able to meet again in Nara at this time. Lan

So I couldn't care about anything else anymore, just like seeing my relatives.

He walked to Ning Weimin's table in a few steps and bowed.

"Sorry to bother you. Excuse me...are you Ning Sang?"

When Ning Weimin looked up, he was completely unexpected and stunned.

"You don't remember me?"

And after Ishida Ryoko smiled, he untied his scarf and took off his hat.

The familiar clothes and the face that were still fresh in his memory made Ning Weimin immediately recall the woman's name, and then he stood up. Lan

"You are...Ishi...Ishida-san...what? Have you come to Nara too?"

"That's great that you remember my name. I got here yesterday. What about you?"

"Ah, I arrived the day before yesterday..."

"Oh, I didn't expect to see you again here. What a coincidence."

"Yes, what a coincidence. Are you... also coming to dinner so late?"

"Yeah, I'm used to it..."

At this time, Ishida Ryoko noticed two sets of cutlery on Ning Weimin's table, as well as side dishes, tempura and two glasses of beer. Lan

You know, the first drink Japanese people order at an izakaya is usually beer.

After the boss finished serving the regular side dishes of the izakaya, he started to serve the dishes ordered by the guests.

These two points are already established social laws.

So it's easy for her to judge accordingly.

"You have just arrived. Hey... where is your companion in the car? Is he your girlfriend?"

As expected, Ning Weimin responded, "Ah, yes, she went to the bathroom. She should be back soon..."

After hearing this, Ishida Ryoko immediately expressed his joy. Lan

"Ah, great. Let me treat you today. I was in such a hurry last time that I couldn't express my gratitude to your girlfriend in person. Thinking about it afterwards, it was really rude..."

"Oh, no, no, you're too polite. There's no need..."

"It may be a small thing for you, but it is a saving grace for me. Please don't refuse anymore. Don't you think we are destined to meet here? Let's do it, okay? Otherwise, I will really Feels sorry……"

Yes, it is very fateful.

The first time we meet in the wild is called passing by.

The second time, when I left the ancient town of Gaoshan, I saw her car again. It was a chance encounter.

It is the third time that we can meet each other again after arriving so far away in Nara. It can really only be called fate. Lan

Ning Weimin couldn't deny this, so for a moment, he really didn't know what to do.

It stands to reason that this person is so polite, so enthusiastic, and very sincere.

It's hard to refuse kindness, and he shouldn't refuse people thousands of miles away.

What's more, no matter how she talks, dresses, or behaves, she looks like a person with a superior life and a higher social class.

For him who wants to make great achievements in Japan, getting to know such a person may not be a bad thing.

But the problem is, he is not alone.

He couldn't help but worry that Keiko Matsumoto would be recognized by Ryoko Ishida. Lan

The consequences are completely unpredictable. Who knows who this woman is?

If you see them together, will it cause unnecessary trouble?

He didn't want to have a negative impact on Matsumoto Keiko's career.

And time couldn't help but be delayed. At this moment, Matsumoto Keiko had already come out of the bathroom.

But what happened next was really different from what Ning Weimin imagined.

Yes, when Ryoko Ishida turned around and came face to face with Keiko Matsumoto, she was indeed shocked.

Not only did the original smile freeze, but even the words of greeting were swallowed back. Lan

But it must be said that Matsumoto Keiko's reaction was actually not much better than hers.

For some reason, Matsumoto Keiko's eyes widened and she covered her mouth in surprise.

"Ishida-san? Why are you here?"

"Matsumoto-san? You...how can you...?"

Well, two stunning beauties with excellent looks and charm were standing in awe of each other in such a small izakaya.

Moreover, a young man like Ning Weimin was in the middle with an anxious look on his face.

It is conceivable that in the eyes of outsiders who don't understand the situation, this looks like a bloody drama like a man being caught with his legs crossed. Lan

Isn't that arousing?

So not only the several guests in the izakaya paid their attention to this side.

The shop owner couldn't help but look up and started to pay attention to the situation here.

Fortunately, Ning Weimin was smart enough. He sensed that something was wrong and hurried over to move chairs for the two of them, returning the scene to normal in time.

"Sit down, everyone please sit down. Let's talk slowly..."

Then, Matsumoto Keiko and Ishida Ryoko adjusted their emotions and exchanged polite greetings.

Ning Weimin finally figured out an unimaginable fact. Lan

I bet this Ishida Ryoko is also a popular first-line female star in Japan, just like Matsumoto Keiko.

However, Ryoko Ishida is her real name, and Ayumi Ishida is the stage name she uses in her acting activities, which is familiar to Japanese people.

Especially after learning that Ryoko Ishida had just collaborated with Takakura Ken in the movie "Yaksha" last year, Ning Weimin also realized why he looked familiar to her.

Because he had seen that movie in his previous life.

It's just that at that time, he didn't know enough about the older generation of Japanese movie stars. For old Japanese movies that brought together many big names, he only recognized Takakura Ken.

Although he liked the role played by Ishida Ryoko, he only remembered the role.

Even Kitano Takeshi also participated in this movie, he only figured it out in the Internet age. Lan

In addition, this Ishida Ryoko is not only similar in age to Matsumoto Keiko, but also has a similar popularity.

And he will soon collaborate with Keiko Matsumoto in a movie for the first time.

The two of them will respectively play the two heroines with the most important roles in the movie called "The Man on Fire".

This means that there is a very complicated relationship between them.

They have to work together to make this film a hit, and at the same time they have to compete with each other's acting skills in the eyes of the audience.

As for why Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko met Ryoko Ishida several times during their travels, the reason is also very simple.

That's because Ryoko Ishida also specially rushes to travel in the past few days after the New Year. Lan

Otherwise, her work schedule will be tight when the filming of "The Man on Fire" starts at the end of January.

To be honest, after figuring out this situation, even Ning Weimin felt the lingering awkwardness at the scene.

What kind of love-and-kill relationship is this!

It is too complicated to add new contradictions and entanglements to the original ones.

But relatively speaking, Keiko Matsumoto is better.

Although her love relationship with Ning Weimin was controlled by her competitors, it was a big deal that could make headlines.

But the movie fans are still sad, dissatisfied, and angry, but after all, there is no moral damage. Lan

Perhaps the negative consequences of this incident will cause some damage to Matsumoto Keiko's career.

She lost a lot of fans and the favor of many movie fans.

But having said that, even though Japanese men all over the country believed that Matsumoto Keiko should not fall in love with a foreigner from China like Ning Weimin, no one could accuse their relationship of being immoral.

The situation of Ryoko Ishida is even more difficult.

Having been favored by a competitor, she owed a favor that was difficult to repay. She didn't know how to even it out?

When I join the crew in the future and have to meet frequently, it will actually be a more difficult relationship to deal with.

Not to mention that she accidentally broke into her benefactor's privacy. Lan

The moral pressure is not that great.

To put it bluntly, it's a good thing that no one knows about this.

If something is leaked in the future, the news will be broken.

Whether it was a secret she had revealed or not, she couldn't tell.

So after sitting down and chatting for a while, the polite words were finished.

Ryoko Ishida felt more and more uncomfortable. The more she sat, the more frightened she became, and she became more and more at a loss.

She wanted to ensure that she would never talk nonsense, but it was even more embarrassing to bring it up proactively, as if she didn't have three hundred taels of silver here. Lan

She also felt that she should leave a long time ago, regretting disturbing others and meeting people she shouldn't have met.

Both of these moods made her extremely anxious, and she really wanted to find the right time to say goodbye.

So when the boss served Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko again, she quickly stood up and left, saying, "I'm so sorry, I was too reckless. I ruined your fun. I I won’t bother you. ...Today’s matter...I...I"
