Haruko repeated it excitedly, her eyes sparkling.

"I've always wanted to see him live, I never thought it would happen so soon!"

But then she became worried.

"But, are we going there tonight? Wouldn't that be too rushed?"

Kitahara Shin shook his head, a confident smile on his face...

"Don't worry, I've arranged everything. The concert starts tomorrow, so it's perfect for us to go tonight. We can get some rest and be fully refreshed to enjoy this musical feast tomorrow."

Haruko's eyes flashed with emotion upon hearing this. She looked at Kitahara Makoto, her heart filled with warmth and gratitude.

She knew that Kitahara Makoto always managed to surprise and move her unexpectedly, and this sentiment was more precious than any words.

The two sat down at the table, and Haruko started to get busy. While checking flight information on her phone, she asked Kitahara Makoto if there was anything she needed to prepare.

Kitahara Masanori leaned back leisurely in his chair, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility and 2.9 harmony.

The tavern is decorated in a simple yet elegant style, with wooden tables and chairs, retro chandeliers, and green plants scattered throughout, all of which create a warm and comfortable atmosphere.

Outside the window, the night was deep, but the city lights were still dazzling, creating a stark contrast with the cozy atmosphere inside the pub.

In this setting, the conversation between Kitahara Makoto and Haruko becomes all the more precious and heartwarming.

Chapter 521 What to Replace, Buy a New One

Upon learning that she would be going to Nanjing with Kitahara Makoto to see Robben's concert, Haruko's mood was like being caressed by a spring breeze, and she blossomed into the most radiant smile.

Her bright eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation, as if she could already feel the enthusiastic atmosphere of the concert.

She stood up eagerly, gave Kitahara Makoto a grateful glance, and then gracefully walked towards the bar's front desk.

Inside, Evelyn was busy checking the accounts, while Ji Bochang was leisurely sipping his wine. When they saw Qingzi looking hurried, they both stopped what they were doing.

Casting an inquiring glance 24.

“Evelyn, Uncle Ji, I have some urgent business to attend to tonight and I have to leave for a while.”

Haruko's words carried a hint of apology, but more so an undisguised joy: "Please take good care of the tavern."

Upon hearing this, Evelyn immediately understood Haruko's feelings. She smiled and nodded, her eyes full of understanding and support.

"Don't worry, Haruko, we're here for you. Go and enjoy your night."

Ji Bochang also patted Qingzi on the shoulder with a smile and teased her:

"It seems our Haruko has a promise to keep. Remember to come back and tell us your wonderful story!"

Haruko smiled gratefully, quickly explained some things to keep in mind at the tavern, and then turned back to Kitahara Makoto's side.

Her face was beaming with a happy smile, as if the air itself was filled with a sweet atmosphere.

"Kitahara, I've arranged everything." Haruko excitedly grabbed Kitahara Makoto's arm, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"However, I think we should change into more suitable clothes before going to Nanjing, since we're going to see Robben's concert."

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Makoto's lips curled into a playful smile.

"What do you want to change? Come on, I'll take you to buy a new one."

His tone carried a hint of indulgence and an undeniable firmness.

Upon hearing this, Haruko was slightly taken aback, and then hesitated.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate? After all, it's getting late."

Kitahara Shin gently shook his head, his eyes filled with tenderness and determination.

"What's the big deal? We need to dress nicely so we don't lose face. Besides, Robben's concert is a rare opportunity, so of course we need to be in top form for it."

Haruko was moved by Kitahara Makoto's words, and her hesitation vanished instantly.

She smiled and nodded, picked up her handbag, and walked out of the bar with Kitahara Makoto.

On the streets at night, neon lights flash and cars flow endlessly.

The two walked side by side on the sidewalk. Occasionally, a gentle breeze would blow by, bringing a slight chill, but their hearts were filled with warmth and anticipation.

"Kitahara, you're so kind."

"Haruko said softly, her eyes sparkling with gratitude. She looked up at Kitahara Shinichi and found that his eyes were also full of tenderness and affection."

"What's this?"

Kitahara gently ruffled Haruko's hair, and the two smiled at each other, their understanding and tacit agreement needing no further explanation.

They arrived at a trendy clothing store. The store was brightly lit and cozy, with a wide variety of clothes on display.

Haruko excitedly pulled Kitahara Makoto inside and began picking out outfits suitable for the concert.

With the enthusiastic recommendations of the shop assistant, Haruko finally chose a simple yet elegant dress. The skirt was light and flowing, as if it could dance to the rhythm of the music.

Chapter 522 Departure to the Airport

After choosing their clothes and paying, Kitahara Makoto and Haruko walked out of the mall hand in hand. The mall was still brightly lit under the night sky, with neon lights creating a dazzling world of light and shadow.

A gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness, but it couldn't dispel the warmth and anticipation in their hearts.

Kitahara Shin gently pressed the car key in his hand, and a black sedan not far away unlocked in response, its headlights flashing as if in a small ceremony to welcome them.

He gentlemanly opened the passenger door for Haruko, who smiled and thanked him before gracefully getting into the car.

The interior was clean and comfortable, with a subtle leather scent filling the air, adding a touch of elegance to the journey.

As soon as he settled down, Kitahara Makoto's phone vibrated slightly. He quickly unlocked the screen; it was a message from his assistant.

He glanced through it carefully, a satisfied smile playing on his lips. Then he turned to look at Haruko, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Haruko, let's go to the airport now."

His voice carried an undeniable firmness, yet also concealed an anticipation for the journey that was about to begin.

"Now?"

Haruko was slightly taken aback, then realized what was happening, her eyes also sparkling.

"Ok, no problem!"

She responded excitedly, her heart filled with boundless anticipation for her trip to Nanjing.

Kitahara Makoto nodded, started the car, and slowly drove out of the parking lot, merging into the busy street.

Outside the car window, the city's night view unfolds like a scroll painting, with the lights of skyscrapers reflecting each other in the night sky and vehicles flowing endlessly, creating a dynamic urban landscape.

Haruko leaned back in her seat, admiring everything through the car window. Occasionally, she would turn her head to look at Kitahara Makoto's profile as he focused on driving, and a strange sense of emotion welled up inside her.

Kitahara Makoto drove the vehicle with a firm and focused gaze, his hands firmly gripping the steering wheel, each turn and acceleration exuding composure.

He occasionally checks the traffic behind him through the rearview mirror to ensure driving safety.

Soft music played inside the car, creating a warm and tranquil atmosphere in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle outside.

"Kitahara, you look really cool driving."

Haruko suddenly spoke, breaking the silence inside the car.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Makoto's lips unconsciously curled up, and his eyes softened.

"Thank you for the compliment, but what's more important is getting to the airport safely and quickly."

You don't know about his even more handsome side.

He responded with a smile, his gaze still fixed on what lay ahead.

As the vehicles gradually left the city center, the roads widened and traffic thinned considerably. Kitahara Makoto took the opportunity to increase his speed, but still maintained a steady pace.

Haruko continued to enjoy the scenery outside the window, occasionally sharing lighthearted topics with Kitahara Makoto. Their laughter echoed in the car, adding a touch of joy to the journey.

Finally, after a period of driving, they arrived at the airport entrance.

Kitahara Makoto parked the car in the designated parking lot. After getting out of the car, the two of them pulled their suitcases and walked into the brightly lit airport hall.

The hall was bustling with people, and various languages ​​mingled together, creating a busy yet orderly scene.

They followed the signs to the check-in counter, completed the check-in process, went through security, and entered the waiting area.

After sitting down in the waiting area, Kitahara Makoto and Haruko exchanged a smile, as if wishing each other success for their upcoming trip to Nanjing.

Chapter 523 My First Time on an Airplane

Inside the airport, soft lighting illuminates every inch of space, creating a tranquil yet slightly expectant atmosphere.

Kitahara Makoto and Haruko sat on a bench in the waiting area, surrounded by all sorts of passengers.

They were either looking down at their phones, talking quietly, or waiting silently for the moment to board the plane.

The air was filled with the faint aroma of coffee and food, adding a touch of warmth to the long wait.

Kitahara Shin took his phone out of his pocket, unlocked the screen, and skillfully swiped through the interface to find the chat box with Zhaoyang.

Zhaoyang, a friend who has been waiting for them in Nanjing for a long time, has already made many arrangements for them and is now conveying his concern and expectations through words.

Have you boarded the plane yet?

693 Kitahara Makoto quickly typed this sentence and clicked send.

Soon after, Zhaoyang's reply appeared:

"Up."

These two simple words seem to transcend mountains and rivers, conveying the tacit understanding and trust between the two.

"it is good."

After replying, Kitahara Shin added another sentence.

Contact me when you arrive.

He knew that his trip to Nanjing was not only about enjoying the concert, but also about having a heartwarming time with old friends.

Zhaoyang's arrangements will undoubtedly make this trip smoother and more enjoyable.

"I'll arrange a car to pick you up."

Zhaoyang's message came again (cecj), conveying thoughtfulness and warmth. Kitahara Makoto smiled knowingly and quickly replied:

"Row."

Then, he gently put his phone back in his pocket and turned to look at Haruko beside him.

Haruko was looking down at her fingers, appearing somewhat uneasy. Kitahara Makoto asked softly:

"Haruko, how are you feeling?" His voice was gentle and concerned, trying to ease Haruko's tension.

Haruko looked up, her eyes sparkling with a mixture of excitement and nervousness.

"This is my first time on a plane. I'm really excited, but also a little nervous."

She answered honestly, a shy smile playing on her lips. Seeing this, Kitahara Makoto reached out and gently took Haruko's hand, offering her strength and comfort.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

He said gently,

"Besides, flying is a magical thing, you'll like it."

Haruko's gaze softened as she felt the warmth and reassurance emanating from Kitahara Makoto, and the tension in her heart slowly dissipated.

"Well, I believe you."

She responded softly, a brighter smile spreading across her face.

As time passed, the boarding announcement began. Kitahara Makoto and Haruko stood up, pulling their suitcases, and slowly walked with the flow of people towards the boarding gate.

After a series of security checks and verification procedures, they finally boarded a flight to Nanjing.

Inside the plane, the lighting was soft and warm, and the seats were spacious and comfortable. Kitahara Makoto and Haruko found their seats according to the seat numbers on their tickets.

They sat side by side, so close that they could almost hear each other's heartbeats.

As the plane slowly started, taxied on the runway, and finally took off, Haruko involuntarily tightened her grip on Kitahara Makoto's hand.

"It's alright, Haruko, look out the window."

Kitahara Makoto gently comforted Haruko while pointing out the window.

Haruko followed his finger and saw the city lights gradually shrink until they turned into a sea of ​​stars.
