"I've been busy with work lately... sorry." "I haven't seen each other for three weeks! What does this mean? I have discussed travel with you again and again, but you have ignored it. In the end, I couldn't make an appointment. I obviously made an appointment to go to the hot spring together." "I didn't agree, I just said that if the situation permits, I will go." "Don't they all mean the same thing. Do you know how long I've been preparing for this?" "Sorry, I really can't ask for leave, I explained it before."

"Work, work, only work! Is insurance work so important? In that case, I am also a customer! Didn't you help you complete the quota? If you want to disobey the customer?" Kawano said with a blushing cheek , spittle stars splashed everywhere. She raised her head, not because the saliva flew on her face, but because Kawano fell into her arms, and said the words she was looking forward to. "You bought the insurance just to go to the hot spring with me? It turns out that you have evil intentions!" Ah, Kawano opened his eyes wide. "You think I'm such a frivolous woman?" Jing Nai asked loudly, and the guests around her cast curious glances, but she didn't mind it at all.No, on the contrary, the situation is more favorable.

"No, no, that's not what it means..." As Shizuna expected, Kawano closed his mouth. "Isn't that what you meant just now? I have taken out insurance, so I want to accompany you to the hot spring." "I didn't say that, I didn't say that." "I've said it! Let me not disobey you as a guest!" Kawano looked trembling, his eyes kept wandering, he was already in chaos, and he had only his last breath left. "I can't believe it!" Jing Nai made a regretful expression, "You miss me so much... Okay, let's terminate the contract and return the money to you."

"Wait a minute, that's not the case. I'm sorry, I apologize, please calm down first." Kawano panicked, his face faded from the rosiness just now, and became a little pale. Jing Nai covered her face with her hands, "Huh—" she adjusted her breathing, pretending to try to calm herself down.She sneaked a glance at Kawano through her fingers, only to see that he looked embarrassed. It's not difficult to cheat a man out of money, the hard part is how to make a clean break with him.Unlike Hisashi Takayama, Kawano will not accept the reason to go to a foreign country for further study for his dream. Instead, he may express that he wants to go abroad together.Kawano looks like a standard middle-aged man on the outside, but he is still a child who likes to torture people in his heart. To deal with this kind of man, he must be stronger.

So, what color should you show him next?Just thinking about this, the phone rang. No one would call me at this time. Although Taifu was waiting nearby, she hadn't sent him a code yet, so there was no reason to call. "The phone rang." Kawano said. "I know." She said impatiently and took out the phone from her bag.Seeing the caller ID, her stern face relaxed slightly, it was Xingcheng calling. Holding the mobile phone, Jing Nai got up and left the seat, and walked out of Kawano's sight while pressing the call button. "Hi, I'm Gao Feng." She said softly and cheerfully.

"Ah, hello, I'm Hushen. Is it convenient to call now?" "Well, yes. What's the matter?" "Actually, there is something I want to ask. Is it convenient to meet tonight?" "tonight?" "No, not even tonight, but I want to do it as soon as possible." "That's fine now, I'm free." "Hey, so, where are you now?" "Ikebukuro. I'm dealing with something, but I'll be fine soon." Saying that, Shizuna peeked at Shimokawano from behind the pillar, still panicking.Seeing this, she corrected: "It has been resolved."

After making an appointment with Xingcheng, Jing Nai returned to her seat, of course, with an angry expression on her face.Kawano, who lowered his head, raised his head and glanced at Shizuna. "The boss called. Asked where I went when I was so busy, asked if I was with the guests, and whether the contract was negotiated. I could only be speechless." "I'll insure again." Kawano leaned over with a flattering expression. Shiina shook her head and put the phone back in her bag. "I will never ask you again. How dare I bother you again!" "So, how do you..."

"No need." She stood up, took out the coffee fee from her wallet, and put it on the table. "Ah, wait a minute." The panicked Kawano looked like he was about to cry. "I want to think about it carefully. Let's not meet for the time being. I will contact you when I think it through." "Yukari..." Shizuna walked towards the exit, walked through the automatic door, and thought about how to write the Chinese characters for "ユカリ". On the way to the station, she sent a text message to Taisuke: Chenggong and Kawano made a clean break.Togami Xingcheng is looking for me, and he is on his way to Ginza to meet him now.He seemed to have something to say.Before going underground, she received a reply: understand.I still have to prepare that plan, so I'll go back first.

Jing Nai closed the phone, feeling uneasy in her chest.She knew what "that plan" was about.Although there is no need to worry if they are meritorious, if they make a wrong move, they will be wanted by the police. Thinking of this, she can't suppress the anxiety in her heart. Make an appointment with Yukinari Togami to meet at a coffee shop in Ginza 2-chome.He sat by the window, staring at the road, looking thoughtful.If he looked outside without distraction, it is impossible not to notice Jing Nai's figure coming in. She called him, and as expected, he turned his head in surprise, and said "Oh" involuntarily.

"With such a serious expression, what are you thinking about?" Xingcheng covered his face with his hands. "I look so serious? That's too bad. By the way, I'm sorry to call you out of nowhere. Is it all settled?" "Well, it's completely resolved. It's not a big deal." Sitting down in the seat opposite, Jing Nai replied with a smile.This smile is from the heart, not acting. "A group of friends were going to go to a hot spring, but they couldn't get together, so they gave up. That's what happened." "Hey, do you like hot springs?"

"No, I just like to play with everyone." "I see, my friend from college?" "No, friends from middle school and high school. My university is in Kyoto." Jing Nai began to talk about the occupations of her friends, including fashion designers, insurance salesmen, etc. The designer friend recently broke up with her fiancé in order to go to New York for further studies.These words are all fabricated, of course, and the friends mentioned are all roles she played when she cheated on men.That's why she was able to speak so naturally and unpretentiously. Xingcheng listened to these stories carefully, sometimes showing surprise.Seeing such success, Jing Nai couldn't help feeling guilty.At the same time, there is also some sense of loss.He listened with interest to the anecdotes of the fictional woman Saori Takame telling friends who didn't even exist. Shizuna remained silent, reaching out to pick up the ice tea that had already melted. "What's wrong?" Xingcheng asked in confusion.Jing Nai herself also realized that not only did she suddenly remain silent, but even the smile on her face disappeared. "It's nothing, I feel a little embarrassed to say all the boring things." She said with a smile. "It's not boring at all, I find it very interesting." Shiina shook her head. "Let's not talk about these. By the way, speaking of it, what questions do you want to ask me?" Ah, Xingcheng said in a low voice.It seemed that he hadn't completely forgotten this, it was just difficult to talk about it. "I'm sorry, I'm the one who asked you to come out... In fact, it's a matter of diced beef topped with rice." "Beef diced rice bowl? What about the menu at the Azabu Juban store?" "No, it's not that... How should I put it, it has something to do with that too. I want to ask about the diced beef rice bowl you mentioned a few days ago." "What have I said?" "That's it. When you were young, you ate beef diced rice with a similar taste to mine." "Ah, ah..." "You mentioned that the store is in Yokosuka. Remember the name of the store?" Facing Xingcheng's serious eyes, Jing Nai's uneasiness returned.I don't know why he asks this today.Of course, she couldn't say "Ariake". "What is it? It's been too long..." She pretended to be in deep thought. "You mentioned that this is a store owned by a friend. What's the name of that friend?" It was impossible for her not to answer this question.The diced beef rice bowl awakened dusty memories, and she even shed tears in public. This friend is very important to Gao Gao Saori, and it would be too fake to not even remember the name. "Miss Yazaki..." The name that blurted out made Shizuna startled too, she felt her whole body was very hot.This is her real name, and it means that she and her brothers are not biological siblings. She didn't know why she blurted out the name.She had also fabricated fake names several times before.However, at this moment, my mind was blank.She suddenly hated telling Xingcheng the fabricated name again. "Miss Yazaki, what's your name?" Xingcheng asked. An impulse welled up in Jing Nai's chest, even though she wanted to calm down, even though she knew she had to act cautiously, she still answered like this: "Jingna." "Miss Yazakishizuna, how do you write Chinese characters?" Xingcheng took out a notepad. "Yazaki Shizuna", she tried to suppress the throbbing in her heart as she wrote these words.This must not be told to my brother, they will definitely blame themselves for doing something stupid. Jing Nai herself is not sure whether this is correct, there is only one reason for doing so: she wants to tell him his real name. "Why do you want to know her name?" Jing Nai asked. "Something happened." Xingcheng looked embarrassed, and then, he looked at the words on the notepad, "Yazaki Jingna, what a good name. What kind of person is he?" "Quite energetic, and have a good relationship with my brother." Shizuna desperately suppressed the burning heat in her heart.Now, Xingcheng is asking about his situation, not using a pseudonym, but using his real name!She could be blunt about it, not lie—and that delighted her beyond words. Standing on the path in the dark, look up at the buildings beside you.How many years has it been since I did this kind of thing, Taifu thought.In order to watch the Leonid meteor shower, they sneaked out of the orphanage, probably since that time.Fortunately, the 8-ring used at that time was not thrown away. But is it really okay to do so? This is the idea that the quick-witted Gong thought of, it should be right.Still, when he heard of the plan for tonight, he was startled, no, not startled, but frightened. "I have checked it from beginning to end, and I am confident. However, you don't have to accompany me, I will come alone." Gong Yi said so, he has no reason to retreat.Every time they are in danger, they work together to get through it. There was a sound from above, and Taifu quickly turned on the flashlight and then turned it off again, which was a signal of "no problem". It didn't take long before I descended along the climbing rope with ease, and there was a metallic sound of "cracking" from above, which must have been caused by the collision of two 8-shaped rings. Koichi landed safely as swiftly as ever, with a rucksack on his shoulder. "Is it going well?" Taifu asked. "That's why I'm down. Pack it up quickly." The two cats ran out. On the morning of the first day after the holiday, Hagimura Shinji was called by Chief Isobe. "What's the matter, you look tired." Isobe raised his head from the document and glanced at Hagi Village. "It's not that exaggerated, it's just that I haven't driven a long distance for a long time, and my shoulders are stiff."
