Chapter 25 Section 6

Naoki: How are you? I haven't heard from you lately, so I'm a little worried.I think it's because I'm busy with study and work, and I don't have time to write letters.If so nothing.It wasn't a serious illness either.Frankly speaking, even postcards are fine, if I can receive one, I will feel relieved.Wouldn't it just write a sentence that I'm okay, so I'll send it over.Anyway, I don't quite understand the concept of time here, and I feel uneasy if I don't feel the connection with Naoki at all. Are the cherry blossoms blooming in your place?Although this is a prison, there are also a few cherry blossom trees, which can be seen from the windows of the factory.It happened to be in full bloom last week, and now it is a little wilted.

Speaking of cherry blossoms, I think of the past when I went to a nearby park with my mother to enjoy the flowers.Pack leftovers from the night before into bento boxes for outing vibes.I remember fried lotus root slices.Both of us especially like fried lotus root slices.When it comes to making tempura, my mother first went to buy lotus root. As soon as it was fried, the two of us scrambled and ate it. By the time we started dinner, there were basically no more.Originally fried lotus root slices and white potato chips, my mother ate only white potato chips because there were only white potato chips left.I miss it so much, it’s so delicious!Fried lotus root slices.My mouth is watering even thinking about it.Occasionally, lotus root appears in the dishes here, but the taste is completely different.

It's still a matter of viewing flowers, it seems that it's not Saturdays and Sundays, or ordinary days.Probably the founding anniversary of our elementary school.So there are not so many people, and the chairs are quite empty.Mom didn't seem to be at work that day, so I don't remember clearly, but it seemed to be a working day. In this way, we began to enjoy the flowers while eating bento, but we were not looking at the flowers at all.It was Zhigui who found a discarded kitten in a cardboard box, and was immediately attracted to it.We begged our mother to adopt it, but my mother refused.Zhigui started to cry, and I kept yelling, why can't such a cute kitten be raised?I don't think I can just leave it there.

What happened to that cat?It would be fine if someone picked it up, but in that case, he might still be alive. Thinking about it, it was my mother who was also very embarrassed. She wanted to satisfy our wishes, but the family didn't even have enough money to feed the cat.Otherwise, fried lotus root slices are delicious.Even a kind person cannot always show kindness to everyone.Get that, don't get this.It's all like this.If you want to choose this, you have to give up that, and so on, this is life. I wrote some weird things, what kind of life does a person like me talk about, and it makes people laugh.

As I said at the beginning, pay attention to it, even if it is "I'm okay", there will always be a postcard.Preferably the one with Naoki's most recent photo printed on it.Things like that can be easily made now, and there are small tape-like photos, but it may be too troublesome to do that, so ordinary postcards are fine, just send whatever, I will wait. It is estimated that I can only send one letter a month for a long time here, and I will write it next month.You do a good job! Takeshi After reading the letter, Naoki immediately tore up the letter and envelope, wrapped them in other paper, and threw them into the trash can.Then I went to the bathroom and checked my clothes.The navy blue jacket was bought as a reward for myself when I entered the regular course last year, as were the checkered shirt and cotton pants I wore inside.These are the only decent clothes, and I always wear them on more formal occasions, and they are already old and out of shape.I want to buy some new clothes, but I don't have any money left.And Asami knows Naoki's economic situation, so it doesn't make sense to do anything today.

Little money was spent on clothes, and energy was devoted to hairdos and shaves.I have slightly long hair, I tidied it up in the mirror yesterday, and I think it suits me very well.The beard was freshly shaved, took longer than usual, and was carefully shaved clean. Comb the hair again with a comb.The first impression is the most important, I think.If you have a bad impression when you meet for the first time, you won't be able to get it back no matter what you do in the future.On the contrary, if you have a good impression at the beginning, others will forgive you for any small mistakes in the future.

Practice how to make a smiling face in front of the mirror.I remembered when I did the same thing with Terao before.Because he said that Naoki's expression was too stiff when he was performing on stage. "I thought I was laughing, but others didn't see it that way, and it didn't look like it from a distance, so the degree of laughter was larger, and I even felt a little weird to myself, maybe that was just right. Look at the dancers in Disneyland Those guys will feel that they are really not simple, and they can make such happy expressions at any time." It was the first time I went to Disneyland after dating Asami. At that time, I remembered what Terao said, and I paid attention to the dancers, and I was really attracted by their smiles.

Don't have a gloomy face, Naoki muttered to the mirror.For a long time, especially after the incident of Gangzhi, there were painful things, and the gloomy expression was firmly stuck to his face like rust.It's hard to impress others that way.It's the same when I meet girls in bars, they always say that Naoki's expression is cold or a little melancholy.Still, that was the occasion, and it probably didn't matter if it was with the girls.It's a different kind of person to meet today. The color-printed tape stuck to the corner of the mirror came into view, and Naoki and Asami moved their faces together and made a "V" gesture towards this side.It was a photo taken when they were dating in Yokohama.

Thinking of the letter from Gangzhi I just read, where did my brother know such words as color printing tape?Maybe it was in the magazines that could be read in the prison that these things were written. Zhigui never replied.The same goes for New Years Eve.Last month, my elder brother asked in a letter if he had been promoted to the third grade, but Naoki didn't answer. Just don't have anything to do and write a letter!That's what the robber-murderer brother thinks.Not writing back is exactly what alienation means, why didn't you realize it?For my younger brother, the letter I wrote is the shackles that bind him to the past that I hate, why don't I understand it!

What kind of fried lotus root slices, really idle, but also to beautify the past.Zhigui still remembers the matter of viewing flowers, and the matter of the cat.When I went to the park to see the cat the next day, it was already dead in the cardboard box.And Gangzhi also went with him, did he forget about that? However, what my brother said is also true——Zaogui said to himself in the mirror.Get that, don't get this.Life is a repetition of what to choose and what to discard. So I can only abandon my brother, I have no brother in the first place.I have been one since I was born, and I will be the same from now on.

Doorbell rang.Zhigui looked at his watch, it was already the appointed time. Opening the door, seeing Asami's face, "How about it, are you ready?" "No problem!" Zhigui gave a thumbs up. The place called Denenchofu used to be a place where rich people lived together.Naoki had heard of it, but it was the first time to go there.On the way there following Asami, Naoki felt that even the air in the street was different, not only because of more green trees, but also like those built by wealthy people who excluded the impure air coming in from the outside. The streets and the flow of time also make people feel leisurely and comfortable. Chaomi's house is surrounded by walls of gray tiles and trees. From the gate, only the western-style roof and the oriel window on the second floor can be seen.It was the first time in Zhigui's life that someone with such a courtyard was a guest. Walking into the entrance, Chaomei shouted into the room: "I'm back." They immediately heard the sound of slippers, and a middle-aged woman who was not tall came out.A lavender knitted top over a cardigan of the same colour.It seems that she has carefully put on makeup and her hair is well combed, but she is wearing an apron.Zhigui thought, this is what a housewife of a rich family looks like when she is at home. "According to our agreement, I brought it here. This is Naoki Takeshima." "My surname is Wudao." He lowered his head as he spoke. "Hi! This is my mother, Kyoko Nakajo." "What are you talking about, it's serious," Kyoko looked at Naoki with a wry smile, "Welcome! Please come in!" "Excuse me." Zhigui took off his shoes.In the luxurious entrance, his sneakers looked so ugly.Still have to buy shoes, he thought. "Where's my dad?" "Yes, practicing golf in the yard." Hearing the conversation between mother and daughter, Naoki was a little nervous.If possible, I don't want to have prolonged contact with her father. "Don't be so stiff," Chaomi leaned over and whispered, as if sensing his appearance, "The enemy is also nervous, the golf must be just pretending." "That would be fine." The living room is the size of twenty tatami mats.I can't see the dining table, probably eating in another room.There is a huge marble table in the center of the living room, and leather-covered sofas line the west.Naoki followed the instructions and sat on the sofa in the middle. Opposite the glass door, there is a very wide lawn-paved courtyard.A slight pop, pop can be heard.There was no one in sight, like her father playing golf toward the practice net. Asami's mother brought a tray, and set down the cups of black tea and pastries in front of Naoki and the others.Three teacups, probably she herself is going to sit down, Zhigui thought. Sure enough, Asami's mother also sat across from them.Asked this and that.University matters, part-time job matters, etc., seem to be meaningless, and they seem to be talking about whatever comes to mind.Probably not like that!Always smiling at himself, Zhigui almost let down his vigilance, forgetting that each of these questions is used as material for analyzing himself. "Hey! Won't you go and see my room?" Asami asked.Maybe it was because he couldn't bear to see Mr. Zhigui being interrogated. "Ah! Is your room tidy yet?" Mother said immediately. "I cleaned it." "Isn't it good to be here? If you think I'm in the way, I'll go there right away." Kyoko was obviously unwilling to let the two of them go to another room. "Here, Zhigui can't relax for a while. Let's go, let's go!" Chaomei stood up and grabbed Zhigui's wrist.He also took advantage of the situation and stood up, finally helping me!My heart relaxed. Chaomi's room is on the second floor.It is an eight tatami-sized Western-style room with a window on the south side.Like the furniture and curtains chosen based on blue.The bedspread is also pale blue. Sitting down on the low-back sofa, Naoki sighed. "Are you nervous?" "of course." "I'm sorry! The nagging is endless. I even want to find out my grades in college." "As a mother, I'm afraid that my only daughter will meet a bad person, so naturally I have to be careful." "Even if you think about it that way, it's rude enough. She always does that. She puts on an amiable smile, but she's making things difficult." "I don't think it's making things difficult... What's your impression of me?" "I don't think it's bad. Don't worry so much. It's not my mother who makes friends with Naoki, but me." "I think it's a bad impression, and it will object to our future contacts." "No, if I say something so unreasonable, I will cut off relations with such stupid parents, don't worry." Zhigui smiled wryly.I thought to myself: If it was so easy to sever ties with my relatives, I would not have worked so hard. I was looking at Asami's photo album when there was a knock on the door.Before Chaomi could speak, the door opened, revealing her mother's face, "Dinner is ready." "As I said, it's good to knock on the door. Don't open the door until I say something!" Chaomei said in protest.But my mother didn't seem to care at all, "Oh, oh," responded appropriately, opened the door and left. Chaomei sighed, stood up and closed the door, "It's really strange to be a mother who is not satisfied with her daughter having her own privacy!" "Hey, I really don't understand. Maybe she should do this to protect you." "There are so many things like this, but it makes people feel that it's better not to have parents..." After she said it, she glanced at Zhigui, lowered her head, "Ah, I'm sorry!" "Don't worry, even I often feel freer without my parents." He put his hands on Chaomei's shoulders, "Go down, if you hang around, your mother will come up again." As soon as he arrived at the restaurant, Chaomei's father was sitting at one end of the big table reading a newspaper, his silver hair combed back very neatly.Zhigui and the others came in without even raising their heads, as if to say hello to you first. "Hey, Dad!" Asami said. "What!" replied the father.But still staring at the newspaper without moving. "This is the Takeshima I mentioned yesterday, Takeshima Naoki." "Hi! I'm Takeshima." He stood and lowered his head. Father finally put down the newspaper.He took off his reading glasses-like eyes, but he still didn't look straight at him, just rubbing the corners of his eyes with his fingertips. "Oh, I see." The father looked at Zhigui, "It seems that my daughter is being taken care of by you." "There's nothing to take care of..." Zhigui avoided his gaze. "I heard that he is a third-year student at Imperial University?" "yes." "Chaomi, what did you say, correspondence education or something?" "It turned out to be in the Department of Correspondence Education, and it was transferred to a regular course in the second grade." Zhigui said. "Well," my father snorted, "that's hard work!" "nothing." "Asami," the father looked at his daughter, "what influence did you receive from him?" She blinked and stared at her father, "Influence?" "There are various things. For example, the books I read are different from the ones I read before, and I learned about a new world. That's what I'm asking." Asami looked at Naoki anxiously, and then turned her gaze back to her father. "Such a thing, I can't explain it in a sentence or two. I feel that I have been affected a lot." "So, you say one or two. You are not a child anymore, you can always express your own opinions." Asami bit her lip, took a breath and opened her mouth: "Naoki is very tenacious, and there are many things worth learning. It is amazing that he can go to college without a relative. This... how should I put it? He seems to have given me something like energy." As she spoke, her father kept staring at Naoki's face.Zhigui felt uncomfortable and touched his neck with his hand. "Energy, it's very abstract." "But……" "Okay! I want to ask you next time," Asami's father said to Naoki, "How about you, what kind of influence did you receive from Asami?" "Here we come!" Zhigui thought.Mr. Nakajo's original goal was here.He sat upright. "When talking with her," he licked his lips, "I feel that the door to another world that I am not familiar with has simply opened. I used to only know the things at the bottom of this society. Although I want to go up, It's like walking into a virgin forest that I'm not familiar with. She is like a compass and a map to me." "To put it simply, after associating with North Korea and the United States, I can somewhat see the lives of wealthy people." "dad!" Zhigui smiled and didn't let her say anything, then looked at her father again: "I'm talking about the spiritual stuff. Of course there's the material stuff too. I'd like to be rich if possible, so I'm also interested in what kind of life successful people lead, but that's not necessarily the case. It's limited to Miss Chaomei." Zhongjo fell silent, although it is not a perfect score, but at least he will pass, Zhigui thought.Asami also seemed a little relieved. "Hey! What are you talking about? It's time to eat." Jingzi walked in pushing a small dining cart. Four sets of Songhuatang bento boxes were placed on the dining table, as well as clear soup.Looks like it was ordered from a nearby restaurant that does takeout.Zhigui always thought that there would be meals made by himself, and he was a little confused when he saw this. "Why are you eating bento today?" Asami asked.It's as if she didn't think of it either. "I don't have time to go shopping. It's hard for a guest to come here once, so you can't just eat something." "But I already said what happened today..." "The fish in this restaurant is very good. We often order their food." Kyoko smiled at Naoki: "Please use it, you are welcome." "Thank you!" Zhigui nodded and picked up the disposable chopsticks. Probably made by a very high-end restaurant, there are some good things in the bento box, many of which are the first time Zhigui has eaten.However, he imagined that if he wasn't a poor student, as Chaomi's boyfriend, this mother would definitely be the one to cook for herself.In other words, I plan to complete today's ceremony not by sincerity but by money. It's just that the mother kept asking questions endlessly, and on the whole, there were not many conversations during meals.My father moved his chopsticks as if he was not very happy, and drank beer from time to time. "Zaogui's grades in the second grade were very good, so he can continue to receive the scholarship. And the professor also likes him, so he is now persuading him to go to graduate school." Asami was trying her best to improve Naoki, but her father just nodded ambiguously.Zhigui felt that he had thought about it long ago, so he would not be moved by these things.Although the mother sighed, it made people feel like acting. The doorbell rang, just when such a dinner was coming to an end.Kyoko walked to the intercom, said something in a cheerful voice, and then came back immediately. "Mr. Xiaowen is here." She said to her husband. "Ah, yes, invite him in." Nakajo's face seemed to relax a little. "Okay, now." Mother said and walked out. "Why is Xiaowen here?" Chaomei looked at her father and asked. "I have something to ask him to come. There is no way for work!" "However, today's day...is Sunday again." As the voices approached, Kyoko walked in.Behind him was a short but strong man.He looked like he was in his mid-twenties, wearing a dark blue suit and tie. "Oh, there are guests here!" Seeing Zhigui, he stood up straight. "It's okay, it's okay, she's Chaomi's friend, and she's already eaten." "How about I wait in the next room?" "I said it's okay, sit down first! Hey! Jingzi, give Xiaowen that cup too." Jingzi responded and went to the kitchen.The young man called Xiaowen hesitated for a moment, and sat down next to him as Nakajo said.Then, carefully looking back and forth between Asami and Naoki. "Ah, it's Miss Asami's friend, is it a school club or something?" "It's my boyfriend!" Chao Mei said like a declaration. "My name is Wu Dao." Naoki said, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of her father's frowning expression. "Hey, Chaomi's... hey." Xiaowen opened his eyes a little, and leaned back. "It's amazing, Miss Asami." "right!" "Then I came to see your parents today? Is that right? It's really not the right time for me to come. " Xiaowen sneered alone.However, the malicious gleam in the depths of those eyes, and the subtle twitching of the cheeks, did not escape Zhigui's gaze. "My cousin." Asami said to Naoki, "my father's sister's child." "My name is Takashima Takafumi." He said as he took out his business card.He works for the same company as Asami's father.In other words, the relationship between the boss and subordinates in the company. Kyoko returned with a tray containing glasses, beer, and side dishes.While Xiaowen picked up the glass, Nakajo picked up the beer bottle.Zhigui watched them pour the wine. "How about San Francisco?" Nakajo asked Takafumi. "It's a good place. It's only a month, but I've seen a lot of places around." "Didn't you spend the company's money to travel around?" Nakajo said with a smile. "Then, more or less." "This kid!" Nakajo's mood seemed much better, completely different from before.But in Zhigui's view, this is also like acting.I feel like I made it on purpose for myself. "Takeshima-kun... is that right? Which university are you in?" Xiaowen asked. "Department of Economics, Teito University," Takeshima replied.Xiaowen snorted and nodded. "Not a bad university, great!" Not bad, but not great either.As if to say this.Naoki deliberately didn't ask Xiaowen the university he graduated from, it must be higher than Imperial University. Chaomi enthusiastically talked about how Naoki got into this university, but Xiaowen didn't seem to be interested, so he just snorted twice.There was an expression on his face, as if he didn't bother to listen to a poor student's self-satisfaction. "Speaking of business management, do you plan to become an entrepreneur in the future?" "No, never thought of that." "Oh, no ambition." Xiaowen looked at Zhongtiao next to him. "I don't intend to be employed by others for the rest of my life, but it's hard to say in front of the professional and sensible." Nakajo shook his shoulders. "I'd like to see what you can do. But if a man doesn't have that kind of spirit..." "What's the use of just talking?" Chaomei countered him. "Should I just say that I will see it in ten years!" Xiaowen smiled.Maybe it is to show that he has a strong strength. "What about you, where do you plan to work?" Nakajo asked Naoki. "I haven't figured it out yet." "Haven't figured it out yet? There's really no sense of urgency!" "It's Zhigui who just entered the third grade!" "I've been researching various companies since I was in the third grade." Xiaowen said while stuffing side dishes into his mouth and drinking beer. "It's delicious! My aunt's cooking is always amazing." "That's right! They made the best crabs from others." Jingzi showed a happy expression on his face. The plate with appetizers was placed in front of Xiaowen, as if Zhigui hadn't planned to eat it from the beginning. "Even so, Xiaowen didn't end up joining his father's company." "In the end, yes. It was the result of repeated consideration. Various conditions, treatment, prospects, and my own dreams, I made that choice after comprehensive consideration." "That happened to meet our company, right?" Nakajo supported him. "That's right." Xiaowen nodded. "If you do the same thing as others, you can only become the same person as others. That's for sure." Nakajo looked at Naoki, "There are some things that we shouldn't talk about. Even our company is doing it. There are all kinds of employees in the company.” "Naoki didn't think about it at all, did he?" Asami said something, but Naoki still chose to remain silent.He felt that what he said on this occasion was meaningless.He understood the reason for being called here today. "It's already this time!" Nakajo looked at the clock on the wall. Naoki understood the meaning of that sentence.He looked at Chaomei and said, "I should go back." She didn't hold back, but said with an apologetic look on her face, "Really?" She must have sensed his inner thoughts. "I'll take you to the station!" Chaomei said when she walked to the entrance. "No, it's getting late." "But……" "Asami," Kyoko called softly from behind, "it's getting late!" "It's not that late." "I really don't need to give it away," Zhigui smiled at her, "Thank you!" "Ah, let me take it by car!" Xiaowen said, "I won't take it home, let's go to a more convenient station." Saying this, he began to put on his shoes. "No! You're welcome. It's easy to travel by car." "Which station is the nearest?" "Komae." "So, take the Nambu Line to Denghu?" "yes." "Then I'll send it to Musashi Kosugi, that way I only need to change the car once." "I'm really fine, and you've had a beer." "Just a bite or two. I still want to talk to you. Uncle, is it all right?" "Ah, okay." Nakajo nodded. Naoki looked at Asami, she seemed a little confused, not sure whether she should object or not.I probably don't know Xiaowen's thoughts. "So, may I bother you?" he asked. "It's okay, I'll drive the car out right away." Xiaowen walked out first. Xiaowen's car is a blue BMW.The steering wheel is on the left, so you turned straight onto the road.Asami also followed. "Thank you very much for today!" Naoki said through the window after getting into the car. "Yeah," she nodded. "I'll call you again," when he was about to say this, the car was already moving, almost as if it was accelerating suddenly.Zhigui put his back on the seat and looked at the driver's seat, Xiaowen looked at the front with a completely different expression of indifference. "I'm sorry! I asked you to send me off specially." He thanked him and put on his seat belt. "I don't know what your plan is." Xiaowen opened his mouth and said, "The relationship between you and Chaomei should not develop any further. To be honest, you should give up on her!" "why?" "Why!" Xiaowen turned the steering wheel, his face was a little slack, and he was sneering, "You, don't you really want to marry Chaomei? Just play with her?" "Do you think I'm playing?" "Of course. Asami has a bad habit. I grew up in a wealthy family, so I always have illusions about things like adversity. The boyfriends I have dated in the past are all people who give people that feeling. But the result They all get bored very quickly, break up as soon as they get bored, and then switch to another man, they still feel a bit like being in adversity." "From your tone, it seems that you know her ex-boyfriends." "I know, I know everything. I think you should stop there, or students may not be able to do anything about it, but it's already the third grade, so it's time to calm down." "Why is Mr. Xiaowen so concerned about this matter? Just because he is a cousin?" "I don't think there is any reason to be called Xiaowen by you," he breathed out. "Well, I have good reasons for caring about her. Anyway, she is also the object of marriage in the future." Naoki widened his eyes and held his breath.Suddenly speechless. The corner of Xiaowen's mouth curled up, "Surprised, it's not a lie. I'll find out next time I ask Chaomei. Uncle and aunt both agree. Rather than agreeing, it's their decision." "But if that's the case, today is not at all..." "What do I need to tell you?" Xiaowen glanced at him while driving, "It has nothing to do with you." Before Zhigui could find any words to refute, the car had already arrived at the station. "That's the thing, you think about it, otherwise it will be a waste of time for everyone." Xiaowen said with his foot on the brake pedal. Zhigui ignored his words, just said: "Thank you!" and got out of the car. On the second night, Zhigui was busy preparing for the opening of "BJ's".The door opened, and Asami walked in.As soon as she sat in front of the bar, she sighed deeply, "Yesterday, I'm sorry!" "You don't have to apologize." "I didn't expect it to be like that, though. My parents are fools and there's nothing they can do about it." "Probably thinking about the future of my daughter. However, I really didn't expect that even the betrothed would show up." "The betrothed? What's the matter?" Zhigui told Chaomei what Xiaowen said.The expression on her face became more and more serious, and before he finished speaking, she began to shake her head vigorously. "No such thing! Do you really believe what he said?" "He said it's all true. If you don't believe me, I can testify to you." "Bastard!" she yelled angrily.Zhigui didn't know who this sentence was talking about? Asami inserted her fingertips into her front hair and scratched the area on her forehead. "I want to drink something, is it inappropriate before opening the door?" "Oh, no! Nothing. Oolong tea?" "Beer," she said stiffly.Naoki sighed and opened the refrigerator. "My parents once said that on their own initiative, but I never agreed once. Originally, our family seemed to like to get together, and my parents were also relatives." "Those who are related by blood are still relatives!" Zhigui put the glass in front of her and poured Budweiser for her. "The key is that we are afraid of distributing our modest property. Another reason is that it is easier to get along with deepening the current relationship than establishing a new relationship. For example, it is less likely to cause conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law." "That's right." "Boring! Genetics has long proved the disadvantages of consanguineous marriages, and from the perspective of human relationships, the entanglement is too complicated, and it is difficult to handle when there is something awkward." "For example, when you get divorced?" Zhigui said while wiping the counter with a wet towel. "Yes! But they don't understand these principles at all." "Anyway," Zhigui rinsed the towel with water, "it seems that your parents don't like me, or that no matter who it is, they don't intend to approve it, except for that bumbling guy." "It's me who is dating you, not my parents!" "That's true." "What is there to hesitate about?" "Yesterday, haven't your parents said anything since then?" "After you went back, I went back to my room. What would you say?" "For example, don't associate with such a man anymore. I have been told, let me give up on you as soon as possible, the person who claims to be your suitor." "That bastard!" Chaomei said decisively, Gudu took a sip of beer. "Hey! Do I look like the kind of lady whose future is arranged by my parents? I am going to walk my own way!" Also wear high-end leather shoes.Zhigui muttered in his heart. When the time to open the door was approaching, the store manager came, Asami greeted him, and he smiled.Chaomei chatted with the store manager about music for a while, and after finishing the second glass of beer, she said she was going back, and finally said: "Anyway, don't care about my parents!" "She is a good girl, and her family is rich. If you can be with such a girl, you can say that you have stepped into the upper class all at once, for sure!" the store manager said to Zhigui with a smile. High society, isn't it! I really like Asami from the bottom of my heart, and I value my own feelings.If she wasn't raised in a wealthy family, she might like it too.However, it is also true that when I dream of the future with her, I can't help but think of something attached to her.He has neither money nor strength, but he is burdened with the debts of life, and suddenly enters the upper class—this kind of imagination fills him with restlessness.It can be said that it is an opportunity to wipe out all the bad luck in the past.If there was no such thing, he might never rise up from the bottom of this society in his life. Thinking of this, he felt vaguely terrified. However, nothing will go so smoothly.As expected, the door was about to close.It is almost impossible for the Nakajo couple to agree to marry Asami, Naoki thought.This still conceals the matter of Gangzhi.If you want to get married, sooner or later Gangzhi's affairs will be exposed, and how strong opposition you will receive at that time, Zhigui can easily predict.
