"You absolutely must destroy Tokyo, is that it?"

Lu Mingze was taken aback. "I'm really considering buying insurance for my employees now, so that even if you and your girl go crazy, I'll still have money to pay them compensation."

"Is there anything else?"

"To be honest, I still prefer the older brother from before. Although he always had a slovenly look on his face that made him completely unlikable, and other people's love for you was like rice grains poured out of their bowls, only I would snatch other people's bowls and give them to you."

Lu Mingze sighed, "They say it's better to offer help in times of need than to add flowers to brocade. Now you're so arrogant, you completely look down on the free rice your little brother stole for you. If you want to eat something, you have to go and pluck all the vegetables from other people's gardens yourself."

"Is that how you see me?"

Lu Mingfei was somewhat dissatisfied, as this made him sound like some heinous villain.

"That's not true at all. In fact, you're even worse than that, brother. You didn't just want to plunder all their vegetables; if I hadn't stopped you, you would have even tried to take the entire vegetable garden with you!"

Lu Mingze said, "I'll give you a piece of news as a bonus. There is indeed a mixed-race family in Japan called the Snake-Headed Eight Family. The entire family are insane. If you plan to take this girl away, be prepared to go to war with the entire Japanese underworld."

Lu Mingfei looked at the text on the screen but did not reply, and Lu Mingze did not send any new messages either.

He put away his phone. Erii had already finished eating, but she saw that Lu Mingfei was busy, so she leaned against the glass and looked outside by herself.

But what can you see when you look out through the glass?

The sky had completely darkened, and the shops on both sides no longer conserved electricity, opening their signs one after another. The brilliant lights slowly rotated in the darkness, as if the whole world had been stuffed into a kaleidoscope.

There's really nothing to see here. Those neon signs are just light pollution, and the pedestrians on the street are all rushing by.

Erii was still engrossed in watching by herself, as if even the birds taking flight were beautiful to her.

"The outside world is so beautiful."

Erii turned her head to look at Lu Mingfei, holding up her notebook.

"I'll take you to a more beautiful place."

In fact, Lu Mingfei himself didn't know where there was beautiful scenery in Tokyo, but he was a man of action. Erii was so eager for the "outside world" that what she could see while sitting in the dessert shop was limited.

Since we don't know where the best sights are in Tokyo, we might as well explore the whole city.

Erii obediently nodded and got up, then followed Lu Mingfei up, trotting up behind him and grabbing his clothes.

"Please wait a moment, sir!"

The store manager came running over, panting, his eyes fixed on them. His gaze lingered on Erii's hand, which was gripping Lu Mingfei's clothes. He was so happy that he could hardly contain himself.

Just as he had guessed, they were two shy young people, too shy to do anything but carefully hide their dependence on each other.

The store manager made up his mind once again: he would be the fire that broke the ice between the two of them!

"I've already paid the bill."

Lu Mingfei frowned, somewhat confused about what the store manager was trying to do.

"No, no, no, you've misunderstood, sir."

The store manager shook his head and waved behind him. A staff member hurriedly ran over, carrying a takeout bag. The manager glared at the bewildered staff member, then took the bag.

"This dessert was inspired by my two guests. I haven't had such a burst of inspiration in a long time, so to thank them, I'd like to offer this first serving of 'A Match Made in Heaven' to you two!"

"A match made in heaven?"

Lu Mingfei was somewhat confused. To be honest, he hadn't felt confused in a long time. Before, no matter what obscure or convoluted words others said to him, he could quickly peel away the surface and understand the essence. But when the store manager said the name "A Match Made in Heaven," he was still greatly stunned.

"Yes! To my shame, I originally wanted to choose a better-sounding name, but after much thought, I realized that any genuine emotion doesn't need the embellishment of words; it only needs to be displayed to allow everyone who sees it to appreciate its beauty!"

The store manager looked guilty, but he quickly rallied and solemnly placed the takeout bag into Lu Mingfei's hands.

"So I named it 'A Match Made in Heaven'! This dessert will become the shop's unique signature dish, and everyone who orders it will hear its story... Also, there's something else I want to apologize to both of you!"

The store manager then solemnly bowed deeply to the two of them, took a photo from his pocket, and handed it to Lu Mingfei with both hands:

"I thought the two guests sitting together looked like a beautiful sight! So I took a picture of them without permission, please forgive me!"

Lu Mingfei's confusion deepened. He suddenly felt that Lu Mingze's words were too conservative. It wasn't just the Snake-Headed Eight Families in Japan who were all crazy; anyone you randomly met on the street had the potential to become mentally ill.

He looked down at the photo, which was taken when he and Erii were looking at each other.

The photographer was very skilled; the room's lights, under the filter, created a warm atmosphere, as if sitting in the sunset. The glass then transformed into the sea, and the two people, separated by a round table, leaned against the sea, gazing at each other. The neon lights reflected on the glass were so dazzling that they resembled glowing little fish swimming around them, hidden beneath the waves.

Lu Mingfei's eyes twitched, but he suddenly felt the hand that was pulling on his clothes tug gently.

Erii blinked, looking at the photo and then at Lu Mingfei, her face practically screaming "I want it!"

"Thanks."

Lu Mingfei finally accepted the "perfect match" gift from the store manager, and took the photo and handed it to Erii.

The shop manager breathed a sigh of relief, then pulled two tickets for a Kabuki performance from his pocket:

"Thank you so much for your understanding. I happen to have two tickets for a Kabuki performance. I heard that the performer is a newcomer who has been praised by several Kabuki masters. He switched from being a host to performing in Kabuki. I originally wanted to go see it myself, but I haven't finished processing your order yet, so I guess you won't have time. If you two don't know where to go, you can check it out."

Lu Mingfei took the two tickets, and after confirming that the store manager wouldn't cause any more trouble, he turned and left.

The store manager stood behind the glass and watched them walk away. Finally, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, dancing with excitement. The other customers and staff in the store were startled and almost called for an ambulance.

Lu Mingfei first took Erii to a nearby convenience store to buy a photo frame. After they came out, Erii carefully put the photo into the frame and held it up to show Lu Mingfei.

Then, as if remembering something, she pulled him back to the convenience store to buy another marker, and solemnly wrote her name on the back of the photo frame. Halfway through, she took out her notebook again:

"What's your name?"

"Lu Mingfei".

Lu Mingfei wrote his name in Erii's notebook: "My name is Lu Mingfei."

Erii nodded and added his name to the photo frame.

"Eri & Lu Mingfei".
