Tokyo Love Story

For this purpose, I even made all the necessary preparations, wrote a travel itinerary, and planned the relevant routes. Where to go, how to go shopping, which local snacks to try, the weather was already determined, and the relevant tickets were booked. Everything was in the plan.
But when the day came for the plan to be implemented, a sunny and clear weather became a luxury, and dark clouds and rumbling thunder seemed to become the norm.
The city sky always seems to like raining at such an inopportune time.

In the hall where the party was held.
"Speaking of which, Beichuan is almost here, right?"
Bai Yuanchuan squeezed out from the circle of people surrounding him, pulled up his sleeves, looked at his watch, then turned his head and his eyes fell on the face of Shen Ye Xun beside him.
Among the participants of this party, there were two exceptional invitees, one was Kitagawa's editor, Kaoru Kamino, and the other was his daughter's editor, Risa Takeda.
This is special treatment, but not entirely.
After all, today's private social gathering has another purpose, which is to give men and women of marriageable age the opportunity to get to know each other.
To put it simply, it is a voluntary blind date without any compulsory meaning.
Kaoru Kamino and Risa Takeda are not only the junior and senior in the relationship, but also well-known single aristocrats in the Kashiwagawa Bunko.
The two of them had mentioned this matter to him half-jokingly and half-seriously.
So, he thought about it and took this opportunity to call the two of them over. There were a lot of people coming this time anyway, so he could try to get in touch with them.
Success or failure is purely a matter of fate. If it succeeds, that’s the best. If not, just treat it as participating in an event.
"Maybe just for a moment."
Kaoru Kamiya thought about it and answered.
She called Beichuan Che ten minutes ago, and he replied on the phone that he was already outside the hotel. Calculating the time, he should have been inside the hotel by now. If he had been faster, he might have been brought to the venue by the staff.
"That……"
Bai Yuanchuan looked at Shen Ye Xun.
"Boss, I'll go wait for him at the door."
Kamiya Kaoru nodded slightly as if she understood what he meant, turned around, and quickly headed towards the entrance of the venue.
There will be another update later in the morning. As for the recommendations, it will depend on how much you read today and tomorrow. I would like to ask everyone to turn to the last page in the next two days. Thank you.

Chapter 48 Gathering (Part ) [Seeking follow-up reading]
Coming out of the elevator, Beichuan Che moved his shoulders slightly and his eyes fell on the slightly unfamiliar black suit on himself.
The suit was given to him by Kitaen Masayoshi, or to be more precise, it was given to him by Kitaen Rin after their date.
This formal suit includes a windbreaker that might be used in autumn, a suit, an inner shirt, and the cufflinks that come with custom-made suits.
According to Beiyuan Zhengyu, this suit has nothing to do with the engagement. It is purely out of the elder's concern for the younger generation. Beichuan Che has also reached that age and it is time for him to have a set of suitable formal clothes so that he will not have to attend some relatively formal occasions without suitable clothes.
Based on this reason, Beichuan Che accepted the clothes, but he politely declined the valuable watch that came with it.
Clothes can be collected, but watches are too valuable.
This was the first time he had worn the suit since taking over. It fit him better than he expected, without the intense tightness of a standard suit. Instead, it was quite comfortable.
With the help of the unlit ceiling lights in the corridor, Beichuan Che withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyebrows, and looked at the red carpet on the ground. The direction of this carpet was obviously the scene of the party.
There were many scraps of colored paper on the red carpet, and there were traces of being stepped on. Obviously, a grand welcoming ceremony had been held here before he came, and the welcoming ceremony had been over for a while.
However, this is exactly what he wants.
Before attending this banquet, Beichuan Che had actually already thought about it: stay for half an hour, try the pastries and fruit plates here, and then find an excuse to leave.
There is no such thing as just being familiar with others. In such social occasions, everyone looks at each other's identity and social status. To enter an existing circle, one either needs to have enough capital or be introduced by someone with status in the circle. If the former is not prominent enough, the latter is even more important than the former.
To be fair, he does not possess these two points now, so why bother trying to get them?
What's more, he really doesn't like such social occasions, where everyone puts on masks and shows their most perfect but also the most unreal side under the bright lights.
But life always likes to play jokes on people, just like when the teacher asks someone to recite a text in class. Only when you fail to recite it will the teacher accurately look at you more in the crowd.
"Beichuan, this way!"
Before he even walked into the banquet, Kamiya Kaoru, who saw him from afar, raised his hand and greeted him openly.
As soon as he finished speaking, several middle-aged men who were closer to the entrance of the banquet looked over here with some curiosity.
In such occasions, everyone is extremely reserved, and few people would greet someone in a slightly higher voice like this.
"Editor Shen Ye."
Beichuan Che sighed in his heart. Since Shen Ye Xun was here, it meant that his plan of slacking off would most likely fail.
——At least that would be the case in the first half of his participation in this banquet.
"Come with me, President Baiyuan has been waiting for you for a while." Shenye Xun naturally took Beichuan Che's hand and led him to the inner area of the banquet venue.
In the bright and spacious hall, there were many young girls in evening gowns gathered in groups of three or four, and there were also many middle-aged people in various suits sitting in a group and whispering about their recent business matters.
After avoiding these groups one after another, in the most lively central area of the banquet venue, Beichuan Che saw Bai Yuanchuan, who was surrounded by everyone and looked like a star.
Beichuan Che didn't know if it was his illusion, but Bai Yuanchuan's eyes lit up when he saw him.
Before he could say anything, the center of attention of the party smiled welcomingly and walked towards him with confidence.
The group of people surrounding him looked at each other for a few seconds, and finally decided not to follow him shamelessly.
"Beichuan, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Bai Yuanchuan said this without any hint of blame in his tone, and took the initiative to extend his left hand to Beichuan Che.
"There was a traffic jam on the road for a while." Beichuan Che explained, then shook Bai Yuanchuan's hand, gave it a gentle squeeze, and then took it back.
“It’s easy to do this on rainy days.”
Bai Yuanchuan nodded in understanding and motioned for him to follow him.
The two of them returned one after another to the crowd that had just surrounded Bai Yuanchuan.
Under the bright lights in the hall, the people gathered around Bai Yuanchuan looked at Beichuan Che thoughtfully, and their minds were quickly thinking about the news about the surname "Beichuan".
Anyone who is valued by Bai Yuanchuan must be someone worth getting closer to and becoming familiar with.
Even if this young man is just favored by Bai Yuanchuan, it doesn’t matter, because the Buddha is still the one being offered.
It would be great to be able to leave some deep impressions in front of Bai Yuanchuan.
But there are so many circles in Tokyo, and the distance between circles varies greatly in all walks of life. It is normal not to know each other.
After thinking for a while, everyone looked at each other, as they really couldn't remember any relevant information about "Beichuan", so they could only remain silent and leave the space for conversation to Bai Yuanchuan and Beichuan Che.
"Some rain?"
Bai Yuanchuan didn't care about the reactions of the people around him. His eyes fell on Beichuan Che's clothes that were slightly wet.
For no reason, he felt that the suit on Beichuan Che looked familiar, as if he had seen a similar one on someone else. The size might be different, but the style was the same.
"Just a little."
Beichuan Che smiled and said it was no problem.
He is not made of sugar and will melt if exposed to rain.
"Go and wipe it off?"
Bai Yuanchuan asked him a question of concern, then looked at his clothes calmly.
"Forget it, it hasn't come to that point yet."
Beichuan Che shook his head and politely declined Bai Yuanchuan's proposal.
"Yeah, young people."
Bai Yuanchuan smiled and patted his shoulder, but the figure of an 'old friend' emerged in his mind.
Beiyuan Co., Ltd. and Baiyuan Co., Ltd. have business dealings.
The suit that Kitagawa Che was wearing was very similar to the suit that he remembered Kitaen Masayoshi often wearing.
Whether it is the tailoring or the overall feeling of emphasizing lines.
I just don't know if these two were made by the same person.
Bai Yuanchuan's gaze moved slightly downward, and suddenly, it stopped at Beichuan Che's cuffs.
A black cufflink with a gold border on the outside and a horse on the inside, gleaming in the warm light. From this angle, one can vaguely make out the words "Beiyuan" made with a special craftsmanship.
He once half-jokingly and half-seriously asked Beiyuan Zhengyu if he could be given a few of these exquisite armbands. Beiyuan Zhengyu smiled and refused, saying that the design of the armband was made by his wife, who only allowed these small items to be used on family members.
At that time, he didn't think much about it, expressed his understanding, and even had a little more empathy.
A man who respects and loves his wife must not be a bad person - after all, he is like this at home.
He is a henpecked husband, x2, which is the case.
Now, such cufflinks appeared here at Kitagawa Che.
The answer couldn't be more obvious.
The son-in-law of the Beiyuan family?
Bai Yuanchuan's eyes suddenly became complicated for a moment, then returned to normal.
He didn't intend to point it out or say anything more.
The reason why he cared so much about Kitagawa Che was purely because he admired him. Of course, there was also a small part of selfishness in that he wanted to keep him in the Baiyuanchuan Library.
Now, he still has the same idea.
So a middle-aged woman who was relatively close to Bai Yuanchuan smiled and joined the conversation openly, "President Bai Yuan, can you introduce this young talent to us?"
"He..."
Hearing this, Bai Yuanchuan paused and kept the other person in suspense. He was still thinking about how to introduce him to them, and now, the opportunity has come.
Meeting those curious eyes, Bai Yuanchuan coughed lightly, put his hand on Beichuan Che's shoulder, and introduced him, "This is the author of the recently popular book "Hear the Wind Sing", Beichuan."
As soon as the words fell, the eyes of many people in the gathered crowd lit up.
They were not unfamiliar with this name.
For a while, polite compliments were heard everywhere.
Thank you Wuming Qingyu for the monthly ticket. Your support is my motivation for writing.
Also, remember to click to the last page tomorrow.
See you tomorrow everyone, please vote if you have any recommendations.

By using the tried and true method of urinating, Beichuan Che finally squeezed out from that circle of people.
Those polite compliments gave him goose bumps all over his body.
Sure enough, it is true that if you can’t adapt, you can’t adapt.
After picking up a fruit salad, a cake and a glass of sparkling water at the buffet area, Beichuan Che slipped to the edge of the hall. He had not had dinner tonight and his stomach was still empty. But before he could enjoy this late dinner, he was met with several scorching gazes.
Several girls in evening gowns and with delicate makeup on their faces glanced at him vaguely.
Although the space in the hall was spacious, it was not that spacious. In addition, the excessive praise from that group of people just now was really too loud, which naturally attracted the attention of others. Coupled with Bai Yuanchuan's frequent praise, he naturally attracted many curious glances.
The night would dull people's rationality, and alcohol would relax the rationality that was being held in check. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Beichuan Che gave up the idea of dining at the edge of the hall and walked into a small compartment used for rest.
After closing the door of the compartment, the noisy air suddenly became quiet.
There was no light in the room, and the night swallowed up all the space.
The slightly vague sound of dripping rain became the only sound in the room at this moment.
call.
Beichuan Che breathed a sigh of relief, his tense nerves finally relaxed.
