Chapter 41 Section 41

Gong Yi was right.Just facing each other like this, she was so angry that she had the urge to shout loudly.Shizuna lowered her eyelids, trying not to look at Masaaki. "Speaking of which, Xingcheng has become a new store, which has caused you a lot of trouble." "I didn't put in much effort..." She lowered her head and shook her head, "It's no big deal." "Actually, a few days ago, I asked her to try the beef diced rice bowl from the Azabu Juban store," Xingcheng said. "Oh. So, what's the evaluation?" "Praise us for giving full play to the original flavor of the material. She ate what we wanted to emphasize, which made me feel a lot more at ease."

"I see. But, you didn't say polite words, Miss Gao." "No, I have something to say." "That's great. I also think that taste is very competitive. — By the way, Miss Gao." Hearing him call herself, she had to raise her head.Jing Nai adjusted her breathing, straightened her back and looked at the other party: "Yes." "I heard from Xingcheng, have you ever eaten diced beef rice with the same taste as our Yuanzu's diced beef rice in other western restaurants?" Jing Nai's heart was beating violently, and her straight upper body seemed to be trembling.

Feeling her cheeks stiffen, she tried to pull out a smile. "I don't know if they are exactly the same. After all, I ate them when I was a child." "I asked about this too, but she can't remember clearly." Xing Cheng chimed in, "I just remember that the name of the shop is in foreign language." Hmm, Shiina nodded. "Yangwen...? Do you have any other impressions about that restaurant? For example, are the dishes other than beef diced rice delicious?" "Anything other than rice with diced beef?" "Why do you ask these questions?" Xing Cheng protested and asked Zheng Xing, "You didn't even have any interest in mentioning that store before."

"No, I thought it was funny back then. I just thought it was rude to ask." "She's here to visit today! She's not here to chat with you." "Yes." Zheng Xing nodded and looked at Jing Nai, "I'm sorry for embarrassing you." "It's okay." Jing Nai said with a smile, "I don't remember clearly when I was a child. The similar taste of rice with diced beef may also be a psychological effect. I should apologize for saying something that troubled you." "It's quite difficult to remember the taste." Kimiko, who sat at the farthest side and listened carefully to the conversation, mediated.

"No, no." The executive waved his hand. "The deep-rooted memory is very accurate when I was young. That's why we will never forget our mother's miso soup or rice balls. If you think of something, please tell Xingcheng. It can be used as a reference for us." He said, stood up and stood up, " I'll leave first. Please take a look around, it's not a grand house." After the administration came out, the turmoil in Jing Nai's heart still did not subside.She couldn't figure out why he would suddenly ask this. "Hey, I have something I want to give to Miss Gao." Gui Meizi said to Xingcheng happily.

"what?" "That's it." She said, and took out a square box.The Chanel logo is printed on it.Jing Nai immediately guessed what was inside. "Didn't you buy this bottle of perfume when you went to Paris last year?" "Yeah, I don't think it suits me when I come back. It's so gorgeous and refreshing." "In a nutshell, you bought something that doesn't match your age." Xingcheng snickered. "It's not my type. As soon as I saw Ms. Gao, I thought it must be suitable for you. If you are happy, can you accept it?" Kimiko opened the box, took out the bottle in the middle and handed it to Jing Nai.

"Such an expensive thing..." Jing Nai looked at Xing Cheng while taking the bottle. "I don't even need to keep it, it's too wasteful. But when it comes to perfume, everyone has different preferences. Try to smell the fragrance." Jing Nai sprayed it on her left wrist and sniffed it close to her nose.Refreshing citrus flavor with a hint of sweetness in the aroma.This taste is indeed more suitable for young women. "It smells good." She said involuntarily. "Not bad. Can I accept it?" "Really can?" "Well. To be honest, before I met you, I didn't have any plans. I suddenly proposed to visit the house, but I thought you were a strange girl. But after seeing you, I always feel very happy. I didn't expect such an excellent woman It seems that Xingcheng's picky eyes have not been thrown away."

"What?" Xing Cheng frowned. "So, if you like it, don't worry about it. That's what it means." "Thank you very much. Now that you say so, I'll take it. I'll put it to good use." Holding the perfume bottle, Shizuna lowered her head.This is not fake.In fact, she was trying desperately not to let the tears fall.Why this happened, she didn't know herself.Presumably it was because of Kimiko's sincere words from the bottom of her heart, which shook Shizuna's heart. "Where do we start to visit?" Kimiko asked Xingcheng. "The reception room. I think that room has the most reference value. Then there are the library and the sun room."

"Call me when it's over." "Well—then, let's go." Hearing Xingcheng's words, Jing Nai replied: "En." Her voice was a little hoarse. The reception room is located next to the entrance hall.As soon as she stepped into the room, Jing Nai understood what Xingcheng said, "This room has the most reference value." The structure of the room is really amazing. There are tables and sofas in front of you, and a simple cupboard is placed in front of the wall.There is a floor covering the floor, and there is a height difference of about ten centimeters inside the room, which is the size of three tatami mats.You can tell its specific area at a glance because there are three tatami mats.

"Originally, this room was all floored. There was an old bed in it. However, the Japanese still want a place where they can stretch their legs and rest comfortably? And there is a special liking for tatami mats. Therefore , Dad tried to make it like this." At the higher part, Xingcheng sat down and touched the surface of the tatami with his hands. Jing Nai also sat down beside her. "This is the combination of Japan and the West." "I think this layout is good. I was impressed by my father who thought he was just running a foreign food store for many years. Isn't foreign food also a product of the combination of Japan and the West?" Xingcheng stood on the tatami, in the small cushion gap Sit down at will.There are tea utensils for decoration. "The place where the floor is laid is decorated with some British antique furniture, and here are correspondingly decorated with items with a unique Japanese flavor. This is also my father's insistence."

Jing Nai also came up and sat down beside him in an orderly manner. "These tea bowls were also chosen by your father?" "It should be. I heard that it is the work of a quite famous potter." "Can I take a look?" Hearing Jing Nai's words, Xing Cheng's eyes widened in surprise. "Are you also interested in pottery?" "I don't understand anything, I just like tasting. I have learned a little bit about tea ceremony before." "So that's the case. Maybe it's a matter of course if it's you. Biao Qianjia?" "Satomie. The school that makes tea with bubbles." Shizuna replied with a smile, opened the bag, took out white gloves from it, and put them on. Xingcheng waved his hand in surprise. "There is no need to be so serious. Please just pick it up and look at it." "I'm sorry if I don't do this. I don't want fingerprints or grease from my hands to remain on the teacup." Saying that, Jing Nai reached out to pick up the teacup. Of course she knew nothing about pottery.As for the tea ceremony, I also learned a little from reading a book in order to deceive a certain man.Asking to look at the tea bowl was just an excuse to put on the gloves naturally. "I really want to meet Miss Gao's parents." "why?" "Nothing special. I'm just wondering what kind of parents can raise such an excellent woman like you. This is the first time I've seen such a delicate person. And your every move is not artificial, quite Naturally. This is what I admire most." "This... is too much of an award. I will be shy, and my hands will slip." Jing Nai put the tea bowl back to its original place. "Yeah, I really think so." "Okay, please stop talking." Jing Nai walked down the tatami, took the bag with gloves on, "Can you show me the next room?" "Ah, then, let's go to the sunroom." Xingcheng also got up. Following behind Xingcheng, Jing Nai had complicated emotions.She thought this man was really blind.Accepting the excuse of wearing gloves so naturally, she thought of Saori Takame as flawless.Seeing her actions, I feel very natural. This comment is also quite funny.I was still worried in my heart, worried that my acting would be too contrived. On the other hand, his praise made Jing Nai feel happy.Even if it was a fake self, at that moment, he was full of praise for himself. ——Thinking of this, a deer bumped in her heart. This feeling also appeared when I received Kimiko's perfume.Today is probably the first and last time to meet her.Frankly speaking, she doesn't mind if he and she get along.However, when she heard her phrase "After seeing you, I always feel happy in my heart." She burst into tears from the bottom of her heart.He was accepted by the woman who gave birth to Togami Yukinari. The sunroom is adjacent to the living room with a sliding door in between.Taking away the sliding doors, the living room is as big as more than forty stacks of tatami mats.The sunroom has floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides and also has doors to the patio. "It used to be like a studio." Xingcheng said. "The previous owner loved to paint. He wanted to paint in natural light and get the most out of the sun." Sunlight slanted in through the south-west windows on the floor.Standing on the floor, Jing Nai couldn't help muttering to herself: "It's so warm." The room was almost empty, and she was attracted by the steps in the corner.There seems to be an attic, about two tatami mats. "Guess what that is." Noticing her gaze, Xingcheng asked with great interest. "I don't know. Isn't it the attic?" "Go up and have a look." Xingcheng strode to the steps, walked up to the first step and turned his head, "Don't worry, please come here." Jing Nai approached hesitantly.Xing Cheng, who was a little ahead, stretched out his hand.Shizuna handed over her gloved left hand. Through the gloves, she felt his body temperature, and the two walked up the stairs.There are small tables and an astronomical telescope on it. Looking up at the ceiling, Jing Nai immediately understood that there was a big skylight above. "Although the place is small, you can see the vast night sky." Xing Cheng said. "Do you like observing the stars?" "Influenced by Dad. He liked astronomy a long time ago. When I was a kid, he always took me with him. This room was also Dad's idea. However, he hasn't come up in a long time recently. Probably because he is old and climbs stairs. Too tired." He said, looking at Jing Nai, tilting his head, "Women are not very interested in stars. Although they seem to be very keen on astrology divination." Hearing the stars, the past resurfaced, Shizuna spoke without thinking. "I've seen the Leonid meteor shower before." Line into half-open mouth. "Eh, that's it." "In middle school. And, earlier, I went to see the Perseid meteor shower." Xingcheng looked at her in admiration and nodded.
