Who are you scolding for eating soft rice?

Chapter 104 103. A broken mirror cannot be reunited, but it will reappear in a more beautiful form

In Bunkyo District, Tokyo, a man and a woman stood at the end of Yanaka Ginza Street and looked at each other. There were many lights in the distance, but it was as quiet as the bottom of a lake.

Thin gauze-like dark clouds completely covered the moonlight.

The street lamps emit bright light, resisting the darkness that wants to invade everything, but they are also haunted by the mist-like flying insects.

Takitani Ze and Ishikawa Satomi were silent in a remote corner of the busy commercial street. There was no unnecessary expression on each other's faces. With such a stiff atmosphere and the choice of location, if there were pedestrians passing by, it would be difficult not to think that this happened while shopping. The conflicting young lovers are having a cold war, and they definitely don't want to get involved.

In fact, the situation is not much different.

Compared to Takitanizawa, who had a solemn face, Ishikawa Satomi's usually pretty and demure face was expressionless, but her hands hanging beside her waist were full of strength with the fingertips faintly white, and she was deeply moved. Embedded in the palm of the hand, there was even a slight tremor.

And deep within those seemingly calm pupils, there was a hint of horror that was forcibly concealed.

"Ishikawa-san, after thinking about it these days, I found that I like you. This is what I want to tell you."

Takiyazawa repeated in a calm voice. At this time, the gentle night wind happened to blow, and the pure white moonlight between the gaps in the clouds also reflected on his face.

It seemed to confirm his sincerity.

Seeing the blessed face in her eyes and the tone exactly as she expected, this made Ishikawa Satomi's eyes darken when she should have spoken out by herself. She forced herself to calm down, and then bit the soft flesh on the inner wall of her mouth to let herself go. stay awake.

But her increasingly trembling right hand still exposed her inner unrest, which she could no longer hide no matter how hard she tried.

"What's wrong with you?" Of course, Takitani Ze also noticed the strangeness of this tea ceremony quasi-emperor, and he knew exactly why she had such a reaction, but he still pretended to be surprised and asked with a slightly concerned tone. .

What's wrong with me?You said what happened to me?
Can't your eyes see?

Also, why do you steal my lines? ?
What exactly happened here?Why did the script not go as I expected?Why are there still people rushing to confess their feelings?What love is not love?Are you even competing with me for the position of being a dog licker now?

Ishikawa Satomi held back the throbbing in her heart. While her mood was complicated, she actually felt a little angry.

She is going crazy now!

Ever since she paid someone like Nanami Aoto to test out Takitanizawa, she had been waiting for Takitanizawa's call to question him as planned, but after waiting for a whole week, she didn't receive any news. She almost thought that Nanami Aoto was The woman took her money and had nothing to do!
Plans always deviate from reality.

When throwing out the bait from the fishing rod, you must have enough patience, and if you find that you have failed to make a nest, you must also learn to adapt to the circumstances.

She never lacked this patience.

So after receiving no response for a long time and receiving repeated affirmations from Nanami Aoto, Satomi Ishikawa chose to take the initiative in a downgraded manner.

Collect information, decide on plans, and make decisions.

Ishikawa Rimi, who has studied the basic principles of modern management, formulated the plan based on her understanding of Takitani Ze and the actual situation. Even if there is a slight deviation, it is normal to need to take control measures to correct the deviation. She has also had this in the past Such an experience.

But is it too far gone now?

It was like she bought a ticket to go to Antarctica to see penguins, and when she got off the ship, she saw Syria!

Calling him over on the pretext of being drunk may not necessarily succeed. After all, she took the initiative, but she didn't expect that he actually came. This was the first step of her plan, but she only succeeded in this step.

Everything that happened next caught her by surprise.

A totally different look and expression from before, with weird behaviors and a fleeting possessiveness for herself in her eyes. Now she is confessing to herself solemnly and sincerely. Ishikawa Satomi is a little bit doubtful whether she is like her. Tian had been thinking about this matter, and she called him while sleepwalking in the middle of the night and told him everything about her plan.

Didn’t I write this script myself?
Could it be that today’s plagiarism methods have reached this level of sophistication?Or does he really have no problem?

Ishikawa Rimi, who was in a confused mood, stood there and thought for a long time, with bloodshot eyes appearing. After thinking hard for a long time to no avail, he calmed down his breathing and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "What do you mean, Takiya-kun?"

"Ishikawa-san, do you mean to refuse?"

Takitani Ze's eyes were still calm, but there was a hint of unknown meaning, and he smiled reluctantly: "I know, you won't believe it when you suddenly say something like this, and maybe you are still wondering if I am acting."

Listening to the words that were exactly what he wanted to say in his mind, Ishikawa Satomi's breath froze subconsciously, and she couldn't help but want to grab him and question him.

Nothing wakes you up more than pain.

Either in a physical or psychological sense.

She just went to the manicure salon yesterday to apply natural-colored nail polish on her fingers and pressed them hard against the palm of her hand. She involuntarily increased her strength. Although she didn't look at it, she felt the severe pain coming from her nerve endings and stayed awake. The nerves on the skin can also clearly feel the blood dripping slightly from the palm of the hand and flowing through the fingertips.

But no matter how intense the physical pain was, it could not extinguish her restless heart caused by all these changes.

"Now that I've made my intentions clear, I'm not afraid of saying some nasty things. Ishikawa-san is green tea, and I'm not a good person, so we both know that each other is very wary, so I want to explain."

While Takitani Ze was saying this, he also took a step back, as if to keep a distance from her so that she would have enough sense to hear clearly.

"You don't have to rush to reject me. I don't think you will agree, and I don't think you will believe it. After all, for people like us, no matter you or me, neither one of us will believe such words. After all, you I’m afraid no one among me believes in love.”

"Actually, I can't tell whether I like you or not. I've decided so tentatively and have looked for the reason. It's probably because I haven't met anyone who can resonate with me in so many years. Plus you are indeed beautiful. I It’s also an appearance association. I can’t deny this, so it gave rise to what I consider to be feelings, including the fact that I used excuses to bully you after I acted with you last time. This was also a natural thought in my heart. I admit, this is indeed very effective. For a sense of accomplishment, I also deliberately went to extremes.”

"Deliberately expressing yourself to attract more attention from you is similar to a boy deliberately expressing himself in front of a girl he likes. Bullying you has become my pleasure. This is beyond my control, so please forgive me if you If I really don’t like it, then the most I can do is say sorry, because I’ll do it again next time.”

If it was a month ago, Ishikawa Satomi heard Takitani Ze say these words, she would definitely put him into the group of people who would give up directly.

Because if you just want to hunt.

There were many for her to choose from.

Ishikawa Rimi would never find someone who is so scheming about the city and who is hard to get benefits from
No rejection, no initiative, no responsibility.

These are just the three basic theorems.

Fear of trouble is also a common trait of people like them. Just like angel investors, no one who is not a fool will choose projects with low returns and no prospects. Why leave those projects that can be easily earned in the short term? The previous item will not be processed.

But the reason why he and Takitani Ze crossed paths again, and then got into trouble like this, was not a casual encounter, but because of the revenge mentality of the last incident.

Including the curiosity about the same kind when they first met, and then they met in Koshigaya Lake Castle and joined forces to help each other. It was actually nothing until Ishikawa Satomi was still doing pottery regularly at the pottery museum and was proactively approached. She almost forgot that there was a like-minded person like Takiya Ze.

However, on that day, an unexpected event cast a shadow on Ishikawa Satomi.

Japan is an extremely repressive society, like a natural hotbed of crime. Under the clean and advanced appearance of the city, there are countless darkness and evil hidden in the gaps. The world is not as beautiful as imagined. There are also detestable villains beneath the surface of people on the street.

Unfortunately, her mother was this type of person.

Regardless of the past, this is actually not a secret, because Ishikawa Satomi has been trying to get rid of her mother since she was able to make money in junior high school.

In today's intersection circles, few people know what kind of person her mother is.

At most, I heard some bad rumors.

She never tried to hide anything.

If a secret is not known only to you, there will always be a risk of it being leaked. Therefore, Ishikawa Satomi has long expected that she has an unsightly mother and has been mentally prepared for it. Prepare.

But the problem is not here, but her rare experience of losing the initiative that day, and the contact that she was coerced by Takitani Ze on the basis of reason that night.

Although she didn't lose the most important thing, and the physical contact wasn't too much, she, who had always only been willing to eat meat without paying for it, was still ignited with a kind of anger called the feeling of humiliation after her self-esteem was trampled on.Then, she couldn't swallow this breath.

Even if rationality tells her that she should cut off contact with Takitani Ze, a man who is hard to get benefits from and whose investment and return are completely disproportionate, and stop losses in time to prevent the loss of more time and energy, but Rimi Ishikawa is a woman after all, and there is no lack of belonging. Human sensibility, therefore, has what comes next.

The best way to retaliate against a man, without breaking the law, is to send him to jail reasonably.

All that was left was to pull his heart into the abyss.

Even though she knew he was scary, Ishikawa Satomi didn't have the slightest fear. After learning from her experience, she liked to find people who were stupid and rich sheep to have a hearty crushing game of shaving off their wool, but this did not mean that she would Don't have the guts and magnanimity to deal with similar people.

But things didn't go as smoothly as I thought.

Until now, this feeling of being taken away from all the initiative has returned, coupled with the feeling of powerlessness that she can use all her strength to deal with herself. For Ishikawa Satomi, who was originally full of confidence and plans, it is nothing more than a failure. One blow had cut off all her hopes, so much so that she was now at her wits' end.

The summer night in June was actually not too hot, but cold sweat broke out on her back unconsciously.

Calm, thoughtful, analytical.

If she hadn't engraved this motto of hers into her bones, she might have lost her composure like a little girl and been eliminated from this game.

Ishikawa Satomi pursed her lips tightly, exhaled a sigh of relief and moved her hands behind her to prevent the blood dripping from her palms from being discovered. Then her eyelids drooped slightly and she said in a cold voice: "Are you kidding me, Takiya-kun? "

What was supposed to be a question, but when it came out of her mouth, there was no doubt about it.

"No kidding." Takiguze shook his head.

"I don't think you will believe me if I tell you. Anyway, just know it. Out of this love, if Ishikawa-san has any trouble, you can tell me. I may not necessarily help. If the help is just out of this mentality, then this It’s like saying hello to you in advance.”

"I have nothing for you to help with."

Ishikawa Satomi's voice was colder than before.

Takiguze nodded, and a smile finally appeared on his calm face: "Whatever you want, as long as I'm happy."

His smile was filled with relief.

It's like there's always been a secret in my heart that I wanted to tell but couldn't. Now that I'm telling it without reservation, I feel extremely happy now.

Ishikawa Satomi's face, which had a full view of his expression, looked even uglier than before, and her heart was even more congested than before.

And Takiguzawa seemed to have remembered something.

At the end, he added:
"Besides, I said, I will keep your secret for the rest of my life. This sentence is valid until I hate you."

Hearing him threatening herself with this matter, Ishikawa Satomi raised her eyelids slightly and said in a tone that was almost self-deprecating: "I'm not afraid that you will tell others the secret."

"That's it." Takiguzawa stopped smiling.

He frowned as if thinking about something.

It felt like he was a little distressed because he said the wrong thing. He pondered for a moment before speaking again.

"I don't think you're afraid, but I will bother you from time to time. If Ishikawa-san plans to abandon all your current properties in Tokyo and remain anonymous, as well as the interpersonal relationships related to me, so that I can't find you, probably Then I won’t be bothered.”

"Why should I give up my things for you?"

Ishikawa Satomi was so angry that she laughed.

Takitani Ze spread his hands and showed an expression that he wanted this effect: "Then it's up to you."

See him with such an expression.

Ishikawa Rimi instantly knew that she had jumped into his language trap. It was beginning to be difficult for Danli's face to remain demure, and her palms that had been slightly relaxed were clenched again, touching the deep wounds.

The two were silent for more than ten seconds under the streetlight.

Because he stood for too long, Takitani Ze also moved his body, and his mood seemed to become much happier.

This made Ishikawa Satomi feel even worse.

She couldn't imagine that things that were going on normally had turned into this in a short period of time. She even had the urge to fall out, but when she saw Takitani Ze looking at her seriously, And inexplicably a little confused.

"Why do you like me?" Ishikawa Satomi didn't believe what he said at all, but she couldn't help but want to ask this question in her heart: "Even if I tentatively believe that you are serious, Takiya-kun has to give me a reason."

"You look beautiful."

"Just look at the face?"

"No, there is also figure and temperament."

"What about other than that?"

"Except for these." Takigaze put his hands in his pockets and said softly after a moment: "Maybe I feel that you can understand me best, and I can also understand you."

In this sentence, he told the truth.

The two of them are indeed very similar. Even their personality weaknesses cannot be said to be exactly the same, but they are exactly the same. In addition to understanding their own weaknesses, they also got the standard answer to the plan through reenacting the event scenes. There is no one in this world who knows better than Takiyazawa. Her person?

The answer is no, at least for now.

In order to prevent accidents, he originally planned to use the listening to women's voices that had ended the cooling down an hour ago on this industry-leading quasi-emperor.

But now it seems that the weakness attack is too effective.

No need for a backup plan at all.

Ishikawa Satomi's eyes were gloomy, and she said in a faint tone: "Takiya-kun, do you think that after what happened last time, I won't hold a grudge? Even if I believe it, or even promise you, you are not afraid that I will do something when you are not prepared. What, or am I trying to trick you on purpose?”

"You can't fool me. I'm sure, just like you said in the bar, no one understands you better than me."

Takitani Ze looked at her with a smile, stared into her eyes pointedly and said: "Although a broken mirror cannot be reunited, it can be reappeared in a better form. I think this sentence is quite reasonable. If When I liked you, you also liked me. I don't think there will be any remaining problems in that gap. Besides, just because I like you doesn't mean I want to be with you."

After receiving such an answer that is obviously not perfect and even somewhat chauvinistic, it stands to reason that a normal woman would sneer at it after hearing these words.

But Ishikawa Satomi was vaguely touched.

Based on her understanding of Takitani Ze, or people like them, although sincerity can no longer be completely believed by the other party, her likes and behaviors that don't care about the other person's opinions are truly from the heart.

Does he really like himself?
She wavered for a moment.

But it was soon annihilated by reason.

Ishikawa Satomi's eyes were full of surprise and uncertainty, and she always felt that what happened today was too strange.
