Who are you scolding for eating soft rice?

Chapter 102 101. The devil is planted in the heart of tea, and he uses his body to feed the situation
Inside a bar in Ikebukuro, Tokyo.

Soft music lingers in your ears.

In the dark environment, the only light is the light sign in front of each booth. Occasionally, there will be purple and white flowing light, creating an atmosphere of self-pity.

After Takiya Ze came in, he looked around.

The smell of tobacco and alcohol filled the tip of his nose. He was surrounded by girls dressed hotly and with heavy makeup. Some of their jeans had been cut to the top of their thighs, with big holes cut out on both sides.

Exaggerated eye shadow and false eyelashes, thick cotton socks that are three or four fingers wide, and shiny nails that can dig into the face with one claw and even his mother doesn't recognize it.

Shibuya hot girls actually don't fit his taste.

Smiling and rejecting several hot girls who asked for their contact information, he finally saw a familiar figure in the booth in the corner. He had no choice but to cultivate his own temperament since the first day he started his soft rice career. , coupled with the fact that he has been reading books these days, he has changed his clothing brand, and the Patek Philippe on his wrist is shining under the light.

To put it bluntly, money really supports people.

With his obvious financial resources, coupled with his good appearance and tall figure that makes people feel safe, the way he comes to a place like the bar now is not like the last time he went with Shirakawa Akitsugu, no one paid attention to him.

Takitani Ze stared at the young woman sitting in a booth in a remote corner, supporting her white and smooth chin with one arm, and fiddling with the ends of her hair with her fingers.

Her eyes were blurred and her lips were reddish. She looked at the wine glass placed on top of the flashlight on her mobile phone and the sea-blue liquid slowly rotating with the ice cubes. She seemed to be immersed in this beauty, and her silhouette gave people a sad look. The feeling makes people want to be comforted.

"You're drinking before night, and you still have to call me to Tokyo. Isn't Ishikawa-san a little too willful?"

Pulling open the contrasting soft chair opposite the booth, Takitani Ze glanced at the several empty glasses on the table and said with a decent smile on his face.

He came to Tokyo directly from Saitama.

Originally, because he bought a new car, Shirakawa Akiji was envious and jealous and wanted to kill him, and the matter of running the district councilor was already a certainty, and he only had to go to the district office meeting to perform his duties during the period. They planned to find him. A place to have a meal.

As a result, Rimi Ishikawa called and said that the situation was urgent and Takitanizawa had to come to pick her up.

This is of course a poor excuse.

In fact, Takitanizawa knew better than anyone else, probably because he had not been angry at seeing through Aoto Nanami, the sent cannon fodder, and took the initiative to come to the door to start the game. The quasi-emperor couldn't help it anymore.

Forget it if it was someone else, he wouldn't be interested in driving for two hours to earn such a little extra money.

After all, the quasi-emperor of the tea ceremony couldn't deduct a few bucks.

But playing games, even if it is because this woman has figured out her own temper and uses deep scheming to play with her, it is enough for Takiguzawa to rush to this Hongmen Banquet, not for anything else, even if she cannot get a lot of rewards and On a warm night, a little revenge also aroused a lot of interest in him.

Moreover, she had the standard answer in her hand, and she gave it to her herself. Takitani Ze really didn't know how to refuse.

"Isn't Takiya-kun here after all?"

Ishikawa Satomi, who was not sure what was going on in his heart, narrowed her moon-like eyes, held up her arms and said with a smile.

"It is indeed coming. Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, I don't want to hear from my friends that one day Ishikawa-san died of excessive drinking, or that his innocence was taken away by a stranger after he was drunk in a place like this, and then he died again. The news of committing suicide with hatred is unbearable."

Takitani Ze took out the manuscript with a normal expression, his expression was very calm, and he did not complain or be sarcastic.

He knows exactly what to do.

For a tea master at this level, ordinary acting skills are the most useless tricks, but copying them with standard answers in hand has a different meaning.

Hearing what he said, Ishikawa Satomi was silent for a moment and then smiled and said, "I'm very happy that you can say that."

"Shouldn't I be praised for my rich imagination?"

Takiya Ze asked pretending to be strange.

"That man has been staring at me since I started drinking, and he came to chat with me twice, and he also added something to my drink when I went to the toilet."

Without answering his question, Ishikawa Satomi just smoothed her messy hair on her temples, turned her body slightly, raised her chin with her fingers and gestured towards the middle-aged man in a booth in the southeast.

Takitani Ze looked in the direction she pointed, and found that the middle-aged man in a suit and tie in the booth was pretending to be holding a wine glass, but in fact he kept glancing at her.

Even when he looked at Takiguzawa, he didn't hold back.

It's probably because they are young, so even if they are caught, they can pretend not to notice.

This is actually quite normal.

After all, there are very few people who come to a place like this to drink without looking for excitement. In the adult world, there is no need to be secretive like a child. Many things that were difficult to say in school days are normal only if they are stated directly. However, it is still like this after being rejected. It's bright and clear, but it doesn't look like the sense of distance that normal adults should have.

"Which cup?" Takiguzawa withdrew his gaze and glanced at the pile of empty glasses next to the table again.

His voice suddenly became colder.

But it was covered by the music in the bar.

Ishikawa Satomi glanced at him with a slightly resentful look, as if asking how you could ask such a pediatric question, but she was surprised to see his extraordinarily calm expression, and finally said softly: "I am not a fool, and I never do. Drink out of sight.”

Takitani Ze had already guessed the answer, but he still praised calmly: "Smart woman."

After saying this, he didn't wait for Satomi Ishikawa to reply.

Instead, he stood up directly from the soft chair that had not warmed his buttocks yet, and walked straight in the direction of the man just now. Under Ishikawa Satomi's surprised expression and the middle-aged man's gradually panicked eyes, he took out his car keys. He placed it on the table in front of the man, and then made a fist gesture with a calm face, without exchanging a word during the whole process.

But when the three people in the booth, including the middle-aged man, saw the spherical triangular Maybach logo on the car key, they all avoided his eyes.

The silent silence is most deafening.

The expression of the middle-aged man with his hair combed into a three-quarter part was stiff at first, and then his face darkened and he felt like having a seizure.

However, when he saw the car keys on the table, he still took a deep breath, forced a smile on his greasy face, and looked at him to apologize.

Upon seeing this, Takitanizawa nodded calmly, preserving the last dignity of an adult for him, taking back the car keys on the table, and returned to his seat as if nothing had happened. Then he saw Satomi Ishikawa. The strangeness and ecstasy in his eyes.

Perhaps out of surprise, or because this behavior was so inconsistent with his usual impression, Ishikawa Satomi's heart was rippled by his behavior just now.

She tried to find traces of the performance from Takitani Ze's face, which had become extraordinarily calm for some unknown reason.

But unfortunately, no, not only did not find any clues, but Ishikawa Satomi also saw a familiar emotion in his eyes. This emotion she often saw in the eyes of men who were squeezed out of their value like throwing away broken toys. Yeah, it's the kind of person who regards himself as a taboo and can't help but feel cold as long as others touch him or even think about him.

Why does he have this look in his eyes?
This idea suddenly came up in Ishikawa Satomi's heart, and she even had a desire to explore it, but she was quickly quelled by her strong plan execution ability.

No matter what happened to this guy, he couldn't be swayed emotionally and carried out the original plan.

She glanced at Takitani Ze with complicated eyes. She was not in the drunken and confused state just now, but when she saw him approaching, she quickly hid the surging emotions in her eyes in her slightly uneasy heart.

"You are so childish." Rimi Ishikawa commented and pressed her fingers against the cold side of the cup for a long time without realizing it.

This behavior is indeed quite childish.

Even if it's just patting keys or making fists, when you were a student, it would be like seeing the person you like being harassed by others, and then going directly to the boys' class and threatening them by the collar in front of others.

It is said that she has experienced this kind of thing many times, and she has always been able to treat it as a bystander, as if it were a joke.

But this time there are some exceptions.

As a being who has repeatedly determined that his scheming and methods are not inferior to his own, and his values ​​are similar, Ishikawa Satomi does not believe from the bottom of his heart that Takitanizawa would do such a thing to vent her anger, and based on his personality, he would not do it. This behavior is somewhat unexpected.Even if it's just for a few minutes.

She felt that things did not develop as she imagined, including this meeting.

Ishikawa Rimi forced herself to suppress the fear in her heart that she was out of control to this extent for the first time in these years. A glimmer of light flashed in her eyes and she forced herself to calm down.

"When a male lion declares his territory, he usually pees on the edge of the territory and kicks it a few times to keep the scent longer. I am sensible enough not to urinate on him and then kick him a few times."

Takiyazawa pulled up his chair and sat down, then looked to the southeast, as if to make sure he was still being watched.

Ishikawa Satomi's fingers were cold from the cold. She let out a breath and said with a forced smile on her pretty face: "You just took out the keys to threaten him. What if the car they drive is better? There is no shortage of rich people in Tokyo."

"Then use your fists." Takitani Ze seemed to be sure that he was no longer being stared at. When he retracted his gaze, his expression became more relaxed. He raised his hand and clenched his fist again.

"It's not to this extent, is it?"

Ishikawa Satomi looked into his eyes, trying to find what she wanted to say. Her eyes were still pretending to be blurred and she whispered softly: "You will make me misunderstand."

"That's better." Takitani Ze was stunned for a moment, then smiled and showed an indifferent look.

He seemed to be back to his old self.

But after what happened just now, Satomi Ishikawa was even more surprised when she saw him return to normal. This was due to the determination of the inherent impression. She couldn't tell whether Takiyazawa was deliberately trying to create an ambiguous atmosphere with her like before or if he was sincere. Answered honestly.

As the situation became more and more deviated from his expectations, Ishikawa Satomi decided that he must gain the initiative.

"Would you like a drink?"

"I drove here. I won't be able to go back today after drinking this. Is Ishikawa-san going to be responsible for my accommodation?"

"How can you be happy if I don't take responsibility?"

"unwilling."

Ishikawa Satomi rolled her eyes, and her glossy hair stuck to her lips, adding a bit of charm: "Then you still ask me, you obviously know all my thoughts, and we can be considered the best partners. "

"I don't think I can understand you." Takiguzawa shook his head and asked the waiter for a glass of ice water.

"No, you understand." Ishikawa Satomi seemed to be drunk, with a smile on her lips, staring at the magnificent sea-blue liquid in the cup and muttering to herself: "Actually, what people don't understand the most is themselves. But she often meets someone who understands her very well. If this person is of the same sex, they may become good friends, and if they are of the opposite sex, they may become a couple.”

"I don't quite agree with your statement."

"why?"

"Why can't people of the same sex be lovers?"

"Huh?" Ishikawa Satomi was startled.

Takitanizawa rubbed his chin, thought for a moment and then said: "I heard that Apache helicopter gunships and Wal-Mart shopping bags on the other side of the ocean can also get married."

After hearing this and being stunned for a while, Satomi Ishikawa tapped her forehead, helplessness showing on her face.

It seems that he is annoyed that he thought about the wrong thing.

Then he deliberately glared at Takitani Ze.

"What a boring joke!"

As this joke was told, the atmosphere between the two gradually relaxed, and it seemed that there was no undercurrent of scheming against each other when they met after not seeing each other for a long time.

The little episode just now seemed to have been forgotten, and they were soon thrown into Tokyo Bay.

They chatted like old friends.

In addition to topics about men and women, they would talk about almost everything, such as the recent typhoon, a lot of dead fish in Tokyo Bay, and the matter of opening a store. Satomi Ishikawa would also complain about the troubles in her life, it seemed. I came to him to vent my emotions.

However, the overall atmosphere of the chat was harmonious, and no secrets of the tea ceremony were used. It was very light and watery.

"Has Takiya-kun read any books lately?"

Ishikawa Satomi suddenly asked.

"Yes." Takiguze nodded.

"Why do you still study?"

"Enrich themselves."

Ishikawa Satomi looked at him with a smile, as if she was a little girl who had peeked into someone else's secret, and said with a bit of evil: "That's not accurate. It should be to prevent meeting that kind of young lady with a good tutor who doesn't even know about literature when chatting with others." I can’t even tell you.”

"Aren't you the same?" Takiguze asked with a smile.

"I'm much better than you. No matter in every aspect, I once went to Western Europe for three weeks in order to understand the Eastern and Western mythological systems. In order to understand the actual characteristics of marine life and freshwater life, I boarded a ship and drifted on the sea for two years. Months, I can do more than just read."

"It's really amazing." Takitani Ze said with a smile.

He really admired the tea ceremony quasi-emperor.

There is no need for the other party to lie about this.

The two of them have followed the same path. If there was no soft rice game and only Takitanizawa's own accumulation and foundation, I'm afraid she wouldn't even have a chance to compete with others. After all, she has worked hard to rise step by step.

And Takitani Ze belongs to overtaking in corners.

Because there is Wind Spirit Moon Shadow.

So it's not unusual to run fast.

"I accept this compliment. After all, it is very rare to get Takiya-kun's sincere admiration." Ishikawa Satomi tapped her lips with her fingers, her eyes filled with smiles.

However, she suddenly asked again the next moment.

"But I've always wanted to ask you a question."

"What's the problem?" Takitani Ze stirred the ice cubes in the cup with a straw and took a sip after a moment.

Ishikawa Satomi's eyes reflected his face, and even her blurred eyes were a little clearer. Regardless of whether Takitanizawa could see it or not, she just stared at his eyes tightly, leaning her chest forward slightly with her body. He asked softly with a more serious look than before:
"Does Takiya-kun believe in love?"

Her voice was soft as she spoke.

But it makes people hear it clearly.

When Takitani Ze heard this, he paused, raised his head and looked at her in mid-air. Looking at the other person's eyes that seemed to be shining with light, he felt a little doubtful in his heart whether the tea ceremony quasi-emperor was really drunk at this level.

Could it be that he is preparing to plant a demon in his heart to feed the situation?

Does she really have this courage?
Still in love, do you think I believe that I can move into the Prime Minister's official residence tomorrow or do you believe in your love?
