Tokyo Tycoon, Start as a Writer

Chapter 37 Run-chan’s big victory!!!
The rain is getting heavier.

Under the heavy rain clouds, the streets were soaked.

The sky was dark, making the lights in the apartment and multi-family buildings exceptionally bright, and the umbrellas that filed out of the parking lot became more colorful.

Back in the bar, Arun turned on the lights and made a cup of coffee.

Sitting at the bar, flipping through a magazine.

There was a strong wind and heavy rain outside the window, and something made a banging sound, and there was moisture floating in the air.

Same weather as at the beginning of the novel.

In such an immersive atmosphere, Arun's mind entered another world.

In the strong wind and heavy rain, the sound of drums could be faintly heard.

The drum beats were very dense, as if to match the dancer's steps.

The dancer was dressed in pure white, with bright and heavy makeup on, and she sang a sad song to the harmony of the three-stringed harp...

She is a dancing elf in the rainy night.

Under the light, her purity and beauty touch everyone's heart.

As her skirt spun and fluttered, everything seemed to be flying away from her.

It was a feeling of sadness that was hard to describe.

It's all illusion, it's all in vain...

After the song and dance, the rain started to pour down.

Everything has disappeared, the world has become empty, and the memories left in my mind have suddenly become illusions.

It seems as if the past was just a long dream, and after waking up, nothing is left without a trace.

"Mother……"

Arun stared out the window blankly.

Looking through the glass covered with water droplets, this real world seems so unreal and hazy.

The rain made everything around wet, and the bitterness and sweetness of the memories stuck to the skin along with the water vapor.

A trace of memories awakens from my heart. The water-like warmth at that time and the pain like a thousand arrows piercing my heart later have now turned into bittersweet memories.

She was just a child when her mother passed away.

Now she is an adult for many years...

Looking at the dark sky outside, Arun tried to put away his cowardice.

Then she realized that the pain of reminiscing was much more intense than cowardice... She picked up the coffee and poured it into her mouth. Suddenly, she glanced at the door and saw the young man she hadn't seen for a long time.

■

Water dripped from the umbrella in the stranger's hand, soaking his trouser legs. The office worker's suit smelled strongly of mothballs. The stranger's body temperature was pressed against his back, and the turbid coldness of the air conditioner blew from the front.

It was the first time for Kiyoaki Matsueda to take the tram in the rain, and it felt terrible.

Holding the hanging ring tightly in his palm, he looked out the window, gazing at the rain-drenched street scene in the distance.

Get off at Ginza and walk to Nekomodo Bar with an umbrella.

There was a lot of water on the streets, and the soaked shoes became very heavy and uncomfortable to wear.

"I'm going to McDonald's now and I'm going to go hungry for three days. Will I meet a sunny girl?"

Because he didn't like rainy days, Kiyoaki Matsueda was thinking about this question in his mind and soon arrived at the door of the bar.

The lights in the store were on, and in the warm yellow light, she looked at a loss, as if she was lost and about to cry.

After looking for a while, he walked into the store.

At this time, Arun was raising the coffee cup to his mouth and glanced towards the door inadvertently.

Their eyes met.

Her eyes were a little moist, and her hair was softly scattered on her shoulders. She had a very weak feeling, which made Songzhi Qingxian feel that she might really need a hug...

Turning his head to look outside the door, Arun felt a little unbelievable when he saw Song Zhiqingxian holding a plastic umbrella.

He rubbed his eyes and looked again.

It's really him.

The two looked at each other silently for a while, and Arun laughed: "I thought you were lost..."

Under the warm light, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes exude a warmth like hot spring eyes.

Kiyoaki Matsueda thought, what a strong ability to manage emotions.

It’s so hard to deal with…

He knew how to resist and overcome the aggressive Masako, but he had no experience with women like Arun.

He can’t possibly spank Arun too, can he?

After thinking for several sentences in his mind, he finally opened his mouth and said, "What a fierce rain..."

"Yeah, it's raining heavily." Arun looked outside.

The raindrops poured down, forming lines.

"Come in and sit down. I'll wipe you with a towel. What would you like to drink? Coffee or wine?" "Coffee."

"Hold on."

After Kiyoaki Matsueda sat down, she quickly brought out hot coffee and a clean towel.

When I handed him the towel, my fingertips were touched. He seemed a little flustered and immediately said sorry. His voice revealed the immaturity of a teenager.

So cute……

Arun couldn't help but smile.

The two sat side by side on the sofa, the air was filled with the smell of water and aromatherapy, as well as a hint of sweet body odor from the female boss.

Kiyoaki Matsueda drank his hot coffee and slowly calmed down. He looked at Miss Arun's face, wondering whether to ask her what happened just now.

As a result, Arun's black eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts looked at him and took the initiative to say: "My mother was a Gion geisha. The dancer you drew just now made me fall into the memory of my mother."

“…Ah, oh!”

She said it so generously that Kiyoaki Matsueda felt a little uncomfortable. Shouldn't such a classical beauty be very reserved?

Seeing him speechless, Arun couldn't help but chuckle. An idea of ​​playing a prank surged in his heart, and this idea quickly scattered like paint falling into water.

"Hey, Matsueda-kun, you've never been in love, have you?"

"……Well!"

"Haha, I got it right."

"Isn't this funny?" Matsueda Kiyoaki was a little angry.

This made Arun even happier. He leaned closer and said to him, "A young boy who has never been in love is also a great writer. I actually picked up such a treasure. I am so lucky..."

"So, what are you going to do to me?"

"Of course I'll treat you to a year's worth of beer~~"

Staring straight at the young man in front of him, Arun naturally revealed a gentle smile, then tilted his head slightly, used his fingers to push away the hair stuck to his face, and said with some annoyance: "But you should act more annoying, like showing off your talents in front of me, or taking the opportunity to invite me to date you or something..."

"What good is this?"

"It's not good for you, but it's good for me."

"What good can you do for me?"

"As long as you act a little more vulgar, I won't worry about falling in love with you." Arun said with a troubled expression.

Looking at her serious expression, Matsueda Kiyoaki suddenly felt that the sound of rain in his ears seemed to be sucked away, and the whole world was surrounded by the refreshing fragrance of her body.

They looked at each other and finally laughed.

The relationship between the two seemed to have taken a big step forward. A kind of itchy joy floated in the air, and the distance between them sitting on the sofa became much closer.

It was raining heavily outside, and the cozy little world for two people inside turned into a small island isolated from the world.

Sit there until four in the afternoon.

"It's about time for me to go." Kiyoaki Matsueda stood up and said.

Arun looked outside the door. The clouds and rain had subsided and it looked like the sun was about to come out. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "It was raining heavily just now..."

She was talking about this just now, half an hour ago.

"Goodbye."

Kiyoaki Matsueda walked out the door.

"Boom~"

Suddenly, it started raining again.

And suddenly it started to rain heavily. The raindrops as big as beans hit the ground, splashing high water, and the leaves of the green trees made rustling sounds.

"Yeah~!" Arun jumped up on the sofa and cheered, "Run-chan wins big time!!!"

She actually has such a lovely side.

Matsueda Kiyoaki turned back and said with some amusement: "I didn't find the Sunny Lady, but I encountered the Rainy Lady first."

"Hmm?" Arun didn't understand what he said.

He looked at her and just smiled, so she smiled too.

They sat there for another half an hour, chatting about books and daily issues, and the rain subsided a lot.

"I have to go back and cook." Kiyokatsu Matsueda stood up for the second time.

Arun stood up with an umbrella: "I'll take you to the alley."

"it is good."

After reaching the alley entrance, Songzhi Qingxian walked forward alone holding a transparent umbrella.

After walking about fifty meters, he looked back.

Arun held an umbrella and looked at him in the rain.

Their eyes met.

She tilted her head and smiled softly.
