Chapter 6 Chapter Six

Miyako called the hotel where Tejiro Aonuma was staying. "Sir, have you started work yet?" At this time, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. "I'm thinking about the beginning part now." Aonuma said in a flat tone. "Have you started yet? Thanks so much. So, idea?" "Ah, generally speaking. Anyway, once I write it, the idea will be completed. Anyway, I'm starting to write the first part. I also have to write it quickly, there is still a lot of work backlogged there." "Really, I'm sorry." "You, can't you come over?"

Aonuma had been waiting for a long time.Miyako just said "I'll be here in a while", but after walking away, she didn't come back, Aonuma was getting impatient. "Well, I'll be right here. Bring you some refreshments." "Ah, I want some supper." "I've got a bottle of whiskey ready. What else do you want? Bring some rice rolls and some fruit, okay?" "Okay, you can figure it out." "There is one more thing. You must like it very much." "what is that?" "beauty." "what?" Aonuma seems to be puzzled by Monk Joji.

"It's a slim... beauty." Kaneko, who was standing beside her, giggled, and poked Miyako's waist. "Why, it's not just you?" "I met her by chance. She said she wanted to visit you together. She liked your work very much. She is a very beautiful person." "Humph." Aonuma seemed a little dissatisfied.Aonuma was disappointed that Miyako didn't come alone, but he couldn't say clearly. "Anyway, I'm coming." "How long will it take to get here?" "Let's go by car, and we'll be there in about twenty minutes."

Miyako hung up the phone, glanced at Keneko, and stuck out her tongue. "It seems that he is very anxious." But Neko made such a guess based on the situation of the call. "Men are all the same, then, you can go with me." "Your request, I have no choice but to obey." "Thank you. Then, find a shop and ask them to make some rice rolls." The two of them walked out of the phone booth, hailed a taxi, and went to the busy street first. After asking the store to make rice balls with fish slices and buying some fruit, the two of them boarded the car again.

"I'm going, will he agree?" Ke Nizi asked while sitting in the taxi. "You must have no problem. You are very attractive to men." Miyako told Kaneko to get the whiskey, and she put the other bags on her lap herself. "Stop talking weird, Miyako." "Well, that's the truth. I'm drawn to your charm, too. Maybe I'm in a neutral relationship, and that's even stronger." Miyako knows, but Niko is prodigal.In the past, when I was working with Kaneko in a restaurant, I couldn't resist seeing her being pursued by customers.However, shortly after dating, they changed again.The strange thing is that Ke Nizi's purpose is not money, and she pours pure love into each other during the relationship.As Ke Nizi herself said, she is easy to fall in love with, but also easy to get bored.

But Neko has a fair complexion, and the corners of her eyes and mouth are quite charming, so it is easy for male guests to fall in love with her.As for her, Xiangzi would never get married in his life.She is easily misunderstood.In fact, through contact, Miyako found that she was a little childish.Although Miyako has quit her job in the restaurant, Neko seems to be reluctant to part with Miyako, and she still often comes to Miyako's house to play.Therefore, she got acquainted with Miyako's husband Takuichi, but kept the situation of Miyako in the restaurant a secret.It turned out that it was Ke Neko who contacted the general manager of R Bank Imura on behalf of Miyako, but she kept all this secret. She thought it was the loyalty of a woman engaged in the hospitality industry.She has been in this line of work since she was young, and she has been educated in this way.

"Your husband looks like a Bodhisattva. I'm so sorry for him." Even Kaneko quietly said this to Miyako. Take a taxi to your hotel in Shibuya. Miyako led Kaneko to the private room where Aonuma was staying. "This place is very nice." Ke Neko looked around at the lights of Wanjia lights under her feet and the base stone illuminated by the dim hexagonal paper lanterns, and said. "Miyako, the rent in such a place is very expensive." "yes." Miyako smiled and led Keneko into a familiar room, stood in front of the partition in the corridor and shouted:

"Mr. Aonuma, here I come." Hearing Aonuma's response: "Oh." When he opened the partition, Aonuma was sitting at a table with a lamp.He turned around and said to Miyako: "so late." "I'm sorry. Something was delayed. However, I brought a lot of gifts," Miyako turned to look at Keneko and said, "This is the one who told you on the phone just now." Miyako stepped aside and pushed Ketiko forward. Aonuma looked a little embarrassed, put the cushion in front of the two women, and sat down on the tatami himself. "Hello!"

Kaneko greeted her with a practiced gesture. "I met Miyako just now, and she invited me to come with me, so I came along unceremoniously." "Oh." Aonuma glanced at Keiko, as if she wasn't very interested.He didn't express his emotions easily, his eyes with glasses always looked down a little, and the corners of his mouth were slightly crooked. His slender face is in harmony with his nihilistic appearance, and he is a recognized playboy. "Here, whiskey," Miyako said, taking out the wine from the paper bag, "I'll ask the waitress to bring water."

Miyako grabbed the phone in the room and said: "Excuse me, could you please send me some ice and cold water, and three more glasses..." Aonuma frowned and smoked. "You say we've started our work?" After everyone drank a glass of whiskey and water, Miyako asked Aonuma Tejiro. "Ok." Actually, Aonuma didn't write a line at all.To be honest, he doesn't have time to finish a novel in one go, he has to finish the novel that is being serialized. At this point, it is time to consider the outline of a novel that can be written.However, even this point is not yet sure.In the beginning part, I can still write something, but the whole idea has not been completed, so I can't even decide on the style.

Aonuma was restless.Unlike when I was locked up alone in a familiar hotel, the place here was unfamiliar, and I was always writing about Miyako, so I couldn't concentrate on writing.Originally, after Miyako left, he picked up a pen and wanted to write something.However, while looking forward to Miyako's actions tonight, at the same time, he was anxious because of her delay in coming back, and his thoughts could not be concentrated. Although when I received the call, I told Miyako that I had started to write, in fact, I only wrote two or three lines before throwing it into the trash can. "Let me see the beginning, okay?" Miyako asked, her big eyes shining brightly. "No, not now." Aonuma replied calmly. "Yeah, why is that? I want to read and read." "Now I have only written two or three pieces. My work can only be seen when it takes shape. Otherwise, you will not be able to understand my intention after reading it." "When can I write it? I hope you can give me ten sheets tomorrow morning. You are very busy, and I hope you can get some every day. The consignment store also has great expectations." "..." "When a publishing house like ours wants to publish your book, the consignment store is dubious. Because of this, I want to surprise my colleagues. Please write a good work." "Well, that's what I intend to do." Aonuma replied feebly, and hastily took a sip of whiskey mixed with water. "Are you quick with your pen?" "No, not very fast. It's nerve-wrackingly slow." "I saw it in the message column of the weekly magazine. It is said that you are very determined to write fifty pages a night." "Where is it? That's an exaggeration. When things are not going well, I only write two in one night." "So, we have to make some mental preparations for this work." "Anyway, this is a separate book written in the spare time of serial novels. It's really disgusting. Although many publishers asked me to write a booklet, I refused. I just accepted your request." "I am so sorry." Miyako bowed.As a result of the discussion, it was decided to "shut up" Aonuma twice a month, write a novel in three months, and immediately complete the book. "I'm really sorry for making unreasonable demands on you." After Miyako said that, she looked at Ke Neko who was sitting silently by the side and said, "Ke Neko, you should also say a few words to Mister." "But, I don't know how to say it." She just smiles.Slightly red and moist eyes have always fascinated men. "But Neko likes to read your works. However, she is speechless in front of you. She is a pure person." "Really?" Aonuma Zhenjiro looked at Ke Neko and said, "Are you friends?" "Well, they are very good friends." "You are beautiful, do you work in the business of receiving guests?" "Yeah," Keneko looked at Miyako and smiled faintly. "From now on, Ke Nizi will often come to your place to play, okay?" "..." "If I can't come because of something, just tell her what you need." "What, can't you come?" "No, I intend to come here as long as I can. But I can't get away from the difficulties of work. Of course, I will come. I am asking you to do something important." "This big sister Ke Nizi is here, can she understand your situation?" "Well, she holds all my secrets." Miyako shrugged, picked up the glass, and took a sip. Aonuma stood up and went to the wash room.Miyako took the opportunity to bring her face closer to Keneko and asked: "How is this person?" "Yeah, this is the first time I've met a novelist, and he seems to be a little bit airy." To be honest, Ke Neko felt that this person was a bit different from the guests she usually received in restaurants. "No, no, he is just like an ordinary person. I said, but you son, can you do it tonight?" "It doesn't matter to me. However, he is completely fascinated by you. I don't know if I can do it. Just now, I was watching the conversation between the two of you. Mr. Aonuma looked at you in a different way, completely different from when he looked at me. It's different." "how come……" "No, it's true. So, I'm not sure." "But Neko, don't say that. Please, please." "Then what to do?" "I told him, if there is still something to do, go out. It's up to you next time." "I'm not sure." "No problem. He thought I'd be with him tonight, and he's been waiting. So, there's no way. Well, you don't hate him, do you?" "Yeah, he looks a bit airy, but I'm not saying he's not interested. He's a little different from our restaurant customers. He has a cold face, but maybe we can talk." "Then I'm relieved. But Nizi, please do it." Aonuma Tejiro came back and sat down.Miyako stood up silently. "What, are you going out?" "No, I'm going to make a phone call." "Are you talking on the phone with someone you're close to?" Aonuma said while staring at Miyako. "It's nothing. I've got all my energies at work." Miyako smiled.After she went out, Aonuma stayed with the whiskey bottle for a while. "Hey," Aonuma asked in a low voice to Kaneko who was sitting in front of her, "I heard that she has a husband, is that true?" "Really, that's a very nice man," Keneko said, baring her white teeth. "Oh. So, besides this, is there any good man? She is so beautiful, men will not let her go." "Probably not. At present, I'm afraid you are alone." Ke Nizi smiled. "You can talk. What restaurant do you work in?" At this time, Miyako had already got into a taxi, crossed Miyake Street, arrived at Ginza, turned towards Tsukiji, turned left again, and drove into Hamamachi. "Arrived." Miyako got off the car in a street lined with high-end restaurants.On both sides of the road, there is a large row of private cars.In every restaurant, only the signboard is particularly bright, but the inside of the wall is quiet and dark. Miyako walked into an alley.On both sides, the walls of the restaurant are connected.Although it is an alley, it is actually a road paved with stone slabs.Walk into the inconspicuous street gate, pass through the small and exquisite yard, and arrive at the narrow gate with lattice. Walking into the house, I saw the planks at the main entrance shining brightly.A waitress came up to meet her, and when she saw Miyako, she smiled and said: "You are here!" "Hello." "Good luck is gone." "Really. How are you?" "Thank you... come in please. He has been waiting for a long time." Miyako walked in, and then walked along the long corridor towards the back room.In the yard, hexagonal paper lanterns illuminate drooping tree branches. It can be seen at a glance that this place used to be a tavern exclusively for geisha entertainment, and it may not return to the old business now.The waitress opened the partition, sat in front of the room, put her hand on another partition, and greeted the people inside: "The guests are here." The waitress opened the partition of the back room and let Miyako in. I saw a gray-haired, slightly fat man drinking with the company of a middle-aged woman. This was Shigehisa Imura, the general manager of R Bank.He glanced at Miyako, his eyes seemed to say: Why is it so late.His slightly drunk face was ruddy. "Boss lady, hello!" Miyako greeted the fair and plump woman. "Oh, here you come." The proprietress was born as a geisha in Liuqiao, and she still has the charm of the past. Although she is fifty years old, she looks young and good at socializing. "Long time no see. It's great to see you in good spirits." "I haven't greeted you..." "Sir, I have been waiting for you for a long time," the proprietress turned her head, looked at the general manager with a smile and said, "In this way, my painstaking efforts to build a bridge for you will not be in vain." Miyako apologized to the general manager: "Sorry for being late." "President, it seems that you are very busy." "How should I put it? I'm doing such a small job." Miyako didn't answer the general manager's words, but said to the proprietress next to her, "I've been busy all day." "That's very good. You are also a person who can't be idle. This way you can stay young forever. When I don't work, I just relax my mind and age quickly." "Well, no matter where, the proprietress is still so young and beautiful." "Hey, hey, that flattery is over. Come on." The general manager raised his wine glass. "Really, he has been waiting for a long time." "I'm not that age anymore. No matter how much she disagrees, I'm just fine." "I really know how to say annoying things," the proprietress moved her body and said, "Then, please play a little longer..." "Hey, lady boss, don't go away. I just arrived and haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's talk for a while." "Well, okay, later..." The proprietress smiled and disappeared outside the partition. When her footsteps disappeared, Imura greeted Miyako with his eyes and said: "I have been waiting for so long." Miyako moved to Imura's side, and Imura put her hand on his knee and clenched it tightly. "I'm so busy that you dare to keep me waiting for nearly an hour. No one but you can do that." "Sorry, I'm negotiating with someone and I can't get away." "The business of the president is booming." "Don't make fun of me," Miyako said, picking up the flagon to pour wine for the general manager, "Have you completed the formalities for that sum of money?" "Well, it's done, you can pick it up anytime." "Thank you so much. I have one more thing to ask for your help..." "Why, I thought it was over. Is there any more request?" "Next time, please lend me another two million yuan. Don't be in a hurry." "You spent so much money?" "In any case, some working capital is needed. Now we are doing three events, and next time we want to hold a larger one. So, the requirements are getting higher and higher." "Enough is enough, anyway, this is a joke. The publishing industry is very unstable. Don't get carried away and stumble." "No. I don't aim too high. I know my limits." "However, you have far exceeded the limit of a woman. Is there anyone to advise you?" "There is no such person. If there is such a person, it will be even more difficult in the future." "It's Ming, when you meet a woman like you, it's inevitable that a man will have other desires." "That's not the case. I'd like to do everything myself. But I don't have enough money, so I beg you to help me." "OK." "Are people at the bank talking about me?" "Something may be said behind the scenes. I don't care about such things. I will try to help you, to the point where you think you have reached your limit." "Thank you very much. I'm really sorry," Miyako lowered her eyes, squeezed the man's hand, said "one more request", put her face close to the man's chest, and stared up at the man closely. "and also?" "I can't stay here tonight." "Humph." "I want to get out of here around 1:30 in the middle of the night." "For your husband?" "Well, I promised him to go home around 1:30 in the middle of the night today." "Is he suspicious because you come home late every day?" "No. Didn't I tell you? Even if I stay out overnight and don't come home, he won't bother me. But tonight, I have to go back to see him no matter what. " "It's so unpredictable." "No, he's been in poor health recently." "Sick? That's not good..." Although Imura said so, he immediately hugged Miyako on his knees and hugged her tightly. When Miyako returned to the hotel where Aonuma was staying, it was almost two o'clock in the morning. After all, it was late at night, the courtyard of the hotel was dark, and there were not many waitresses.Miyako walked towards the house, met a waitress on the way, and asked: "Sir, are you asleep?" The implication is to understand whether Ke Nizi is together. "No, it seems that he hasn't slept and is still working." The waitress, with the thermos in her hand, said: "Now pour him a cup of hot tea." "Is there another guest? Here, a woman." "No, not here." "Yo, back?" "Yes, she returned about half an hour after you left." It surprised me that.I have begged in every possible way, but Nizi, what happened? "Sir, haven't you slept, have you been working?" "yes." Miyako walked into the house. From behind the partition door came the sound of writing on paper.She greeted from outside the partition. The sound of writing stopped. As soon as the partition was opened, Aonuma Tejiro turned his head to look.Knowing that Miyako was coming, she put down her pen and turned around with an angry expression on her face. "I'm late," Miyako said with a smile, sitting beside him while keeping a certain distance, "Hey, I've written so much." Miyako stared wide-eyed on purpose, peeking at the table, and saw that five or six manuscript papers had already been written. Aonuma Tejiro didn't answer, took out his cigarette, silently lit up, frowning nervously. "I'm sorry, but I thought Ke Nizi was with you, so I stayed outside for a while. I heard that Ke Nizi has gone back?" Miyako quietly inspected the room, but it wasn't messy.The cushions placed by Aonuma Tejiro just now are still in their original positions, and the things placed on the tatami are also intact. The next room is the bedroom.Although the partition is closed, there is no need to look at it.The waitress said just now that Miya went out for half an hour, but Neiko went back. Mei Yezi thought to herself, asking left and right, but Nizi is too unreliable. "Hey," Aonuma Zhenjiro raised his head, frowned, and stared fiercely at Miyako and said, "What does that girl do?" "what?" "Let me ask you, what does that woman do? She is probably a prostitute?" "You are too crude, sir. You go too far." "Who knows," Aonuma sneered, "after you went back, she suddenly put on a sentimental look. This kind of skill is learned from her job. I can see through it at a glance, even your heart. " "..." "What's your plan for bringing that woman here? You think it's enough to just give me a random woman?" "Sir, there is no such thing." "It's the usual way. In the tavern, this method is often used. You are too clever. Do you think I can't see such an obvious thing?" Miyako couldn't answer for a while, feeling guilty.Aonuma grabbed the finished manuscript from the table with one hand and said: "I keep my word. Well, so much has been written." He scattered the manuscript paper on the tatami, and the veins on his forehead popped out. "Don't underestimate me. Tonight, I'm writing a manuscript, and you must stay by my side for one night. This is what we agreed on earlier." Miyako looked back at Aonuma.Then, quietly tidied up the manuscript paper scattered on the tatami, and slowly started reading from the beginning. Aonuma watched Miyako's eyes and hand movements intently from the side, and Miyako was strongly aware of Aonuma's intentions while watching her movements.Reading the manuscript, Miyako gradually felt bored.At least Aonuma wouldn't do anything until he finished reading the manuscript.However, once he finished reading it, it was not known what action he would take. Aonuma thinks Miyako is playing tricks on him.This is also true, and because of this, he is now furious.He wrote the manuscript in one breath, which is also a manifestation of resisting Miyako's tricks.The text of the manuscript is truly coherent, with nothing deleted or added.Aonuma's anger burst out between the lines. Miyako spent as much time as possible reading each manuscript slowly.She seemed to be praying that this safe time would last forever. When Miyako was working with Kaneko in the restaurant in the past, the male customers tried to seduce her in various ways.It takes considerable skill to get out of their entanglement.However, lies can't last long, and they can't justify themselves after all, making them unable to extricate themselves.As a result, I had to tell him clearly at the risk of losing this customer and causing losses to the restaurant. However, this approach is no longer applicable.Aonuma was quite experienced in toying with women.He would immediately see through such a trick of a woman.He wrote the manuscript in one breath, which showed that he was angry with Miyako.He wants to force Miyako to fulfill the promise of "Aonuma will accompany and take care of her when she writes the manuscript overnight". The last manuscript finally left Miyako's eyes. "How about it, is it interesting?" ―Aonuma, who had been staring at her, asked in an aggressive tone. "great." To be honest, Miyako thought the beginning of the article was very interesting. "I really want to read about the development below." In order to ease the tense situation in front of her, Miyako deliberately smiled calmly.Aonuma Tejiro stood up suddenly.At first, she thought he was going to walk past Miyako silently, but Miyako immediately had a premonition of his intention. Miyako suddenly felt a gust of wind gently blowing her neck, and Aonuma hugged her from behind. "No." Miyako shouted. Aonuma wrapped his hands around Miyako's chest and clenched them tightly.The cuddling ring isn't working very hard yet.Aonuma maintained this state for the time being. "No, sir." Miyako smiled and wanted to push the man's hand away, but he grabbed her hand and hugged her hand together. "What did you say? This is an agreement." Aonuma breathed out hot air behind Miyako's ear, "I fulfilled my promise, now it's up to you." "no." "what?" "That's cunning, sir." Miyako moved her body, trying to slowly free Aonuma's arm. "Sir, you've only written five or six. That's very cunning." "But, you..." "No, I did promise to take care of you. But now I don't have this kind of feeling, so I need your guidance. It can't happen all of a sudden. A woman's love feeling is cultivated bit by bit. That is to say , as if you only wrote five or six out of 300 manuscripts, my feelings are still at the entrance." "Okay, then, I'll wait. If I'm halfway through the manuscript, there's something I can do, right?" "Yes," Miyako said with a sweet smile, "maybe before that time, I will make you unable to work." "Ok……" "Sir, there is one more thing I would like to ask for your understanding." "..." "You promised to write a manuscript for us, so I took this opportunity to ask Mr. Shigeo Tanio to write a novel that will be published in a separate volume immediately." "Yanwei?" Aonuma said, rolling his eyes.Tanio Shigeo has the same tendencies as Aonuma Tejiro and is his competitor. "Has Guwei agreed?" "Well, as soon as your name was mentioned, he readily agreed to write to us." "Did you go to Guwei's just now?" There was a strange light in Aonuma's eyes.
