Tokyo Sound

"Okay, I'll take it." Yin Ze said.

"Oh, then I'll go and reply to that person." After saying this, Kashiwai Ippei couldn't wait to hang up the phone.

Chapter 169: Coolness under the Heat is Summer

The cicadas' chirping continued and became louder and louder.

The man with the messy hair pushed open the window. Even though it was morning, the hot air outside still made him look like the greedy pot - sad version.

At this moment he realized the splendor and magnificence of human civilization. The big brother who invented the air conditioner really should leave a mark in the Throne of Heroes.

Last night, the air conditioner broke down and the pipe was leaking. When Yin Ze woke up and found out, he used a plastic bottle and wire to do a limb-splicing operation. With the help of the invincible tape, he was able to ensure that the water could be drained out normally. But the appearance is a bit inelegant, with a bleak battlefield temperament.

By the way, clean the filter. The air conditioner has been turned on for so long, it’s time to change the air and let it ventilate.

A vest and a pair of beach shorts with laces, but it didn't make me feel as cool and liberated as I imagined. I wanted to go shirtless, but when I saw the housewives riding their shopping carts outside, I changed my mind and gave up.

Besides, the little sister upstairs may come down at any time, so I can’t lose my manners as a brother.

The interlude of summer is a bottle of iced soda. The sour bubbles go into the throat, gurgling and refreshing.

Yin Ze leaned against the window with a melancholy look, holding a sausage with the plastic peeled off, holding a soda, and looking at the bright and dazzling streets reflected by the sunlight. The summer sun always gives people a lively and warm feeling. The reason is that the light is abundant and highly saturated, and the vision is gorgeous because the light colors are entangled together.

The sky is clear blue, with small clusters of cotton clouds connected together. The buildings rise and fall like pine trees. The glass surfaces shimmer like silver foil. Even the thick and serious concrete walls are emitting a faint rainbow of colors due to diffuse reflection. The washed white short-sleeved shirts under the clothes hanger sway gently in the breeze.

Birds know to rest in the shade, not stand guard on the electric poles. After a short while, the man's forehead was already covered with sweat, and he was restless and couldn't calm down. In contrast, the happiness contained in the soda can in his hand was steadily increasing. In addition to tasting the sweetness, every bite was also tasting the natural enthusiasm.

Flip-flops, palm-leaf fans, enjoying the cool in the yard. Summer vacation, waves, youth.

Summer, you are a sinful season that makes people love and hate you.

Just as I was lamenting the passing of time, I heard footsteps coming down the stairs.

My younger sister is here. Unfortunately, the weather is too hot now and I don’t really feel like drinking chicken soup. Never mind. It’s such a rare kindness, so I’ll just have a bowl of it.

However, Asamiya Kazuki's attire and equipment did not seem to be one of warmth.

"What are you going to do?" Yin Ze asked.

"Qinghua asked me to go to the water park." Asamiya Kazuki wore a sun hat, a small bag on her shoulder, and a very thin dress. This country girl who used to wear pigtails has grown into a graceful young lady.

"Go ahead, go ahead. Be careful when you go out. Do you have enough money with you?" Yin Ze said as he scratched his calf. Paired with an armpit-exposed vest, he looked like a street scoundrel.

"I'm this old, do I still need your reminder?" Asamiya Kazuki snorted, looking like she didn't want to chat, and then walked away.

Indeed.

Yin Ze still remembers the charming high school student Xiangyue Jiang who wore cheerleading clothes, had a ponytail and had a rosy face. He didn't expect that it would become a memory so soon.

My undergraduate studies have already ended, let alone other people’s high school career.

After graduation, each year went by faster than the last. Today this friend got married, tomorrow that friend's baby was one month old... I never thought that I would be turning 30 again. Have you ever heard of such a strange story?

But does this alone make me feel lonely? Left behind? Humph, Xiangyue, you are really too young.

Yin Ze waited for the air conditioner to run for a while, then reinstalled the filter.

The phone vibrates.

"Mature and stable man: I'm downstairs!"

"Tauren Chieftain: We're here so soon? Isn't it too early for the agreed time?"

"Mature and stable adult: No, I'm downstairs at your place."

"Tauren Chieftain:?"

Yin Ze returned to the window again. The street scene was still the same, except that there was a person standing in the open space below. Sakura Ayane was covering her forehead with her palm to block the sun and looking over here. She was dressed very simply, with a short-sleeved shirt and denim shorts. Her calves exposed to the sun were slender, white, healthy and strong.

When she saw the guy peeking out from upstairs, the girl couldn't help but smile. She waved her hands exaggeratedly, shook her upper body, and said in a slightly childish voice, "Let's go out and play together—"

Such a classic invitation scene from Japanese dramas and anime.

Are you a primary school student?

"Come up first." Yin Ze said.

Sakura Ayane then entered the house smoothly. There was nothing to hide about the single dog's nest, except that the furnishings were a little messy.

"Why don't you just go to the destination and wait? Why make an extra trip to my place? The weather is still quite hot." Yin Ze turned on the small fan.

"Nothing, let's go together." Sakura Ayane seemed a little silly and cheerful. In fact, it took a lot of detours to get from her home to here and then to the destination.

"Let me wash my hair." Yin Ze said.

When the man came out, wiping his hair, he found the girl childishly breathing into the fan, imitating the aliens saying some meaningless lines. The wind blew her hair up, revealing her rosy neck. This scene was not warm, but for some reason it made people feel cool.

"You seem to be in a good mood today?" Yin Ze couldn't help but ask.

"I got my salary, of course I'm happy." Sakura Ayane smiled.

When young people earn their first considerable salary, they will feel extremely happy and their blood will boil. They will wish they could turn into werewolves and realize their dreams with their own hands.

It's too hot-blooded and too passionate. We should immediately take a look at cooling down the housing prices.

"Then let's go out." Yin Ze was also infected and became excited, waving his hand ostentatiously.

A few dozen minutes later, the two arrived at the fashionable shopping district and business circle.

Going shopping with a woman is a kind of practice, a test, and a sharpening of the body and mind. Talking is an art. A weak woman who can't even run 800 meters at ordinary times will become a triathlon champion at this moment. Of course, it also requires vision. Because you have to grab the benches and seats that are already few in number before many compatriots, and catch your breath. And remember to make sure that the battery of your mobile phone is fully charged when you go out, and bring a power bank if possible.

Master Yin has been in the business for many years, and has accompanied many gossip girls, as well as cousins ​​and nieces. He is familiar with this challenge and is not afraid of it at all.

"Go and have a look. I'll give you some advice."

Yin Ze pointed to a fashionable women's clothing store, elegant and calm, and showed his experience with just one sentence. Compared with his compatriots who only checked their phones at the door and in the store and didn't pay attention to what was going on in the store, his participation was enough to stand out from the crowd.

The situation that follows has also been anticipated.

It's nothing more than asking which of two pieces of clothing looks better.

Usually, you just need to indirectly express that she has good taste and is more beautiful. After all, straight men cannot imagine how much energy and time a girl would spend on dressing herself up. Her inquiry is just for reference, and your answer is not necessary, but if you answer incorrectly, you can only run away.

However, all the calmness and plans were disrupted.

Because Sakura Ayane brought someone into a men's clothing store.

"What are you doing here?" Yin Ze was puzzled. "Uncle wants to buy something? He wants you to buy it for him?"

"No, I want to help you choose some summer clothes." Sakura Ayane said, "Go and see if there is anything you like, and I can give you some advice."

The offense and defense have changed.

Going shopping with a man was a new topic and a rare situation that had never been heard of. For this reason, Sakura Ayane even consulted her old father.

Sakura Eiji is indeed a top student. Although he has fallen to the point where he can't even solve high school math problems, he still has some knowledge of such in-depth topics. After all, he has specially studied "accompanying women shopping" before, so he can draw inferences from one instance to another.

"The key to the problem lies in the different purposes. Boys also like to consume and like to shop, but they only do so for the sake of 'buying', while girls just 'shop'."

Sakura Eiji sat in front of the chessboard, holding the chess manual in one hand and placing the pieces while talking eloquently, with the demeanor of a god.

"Girls usually don't have a strong purpose and enjoy shopping. Even if they can't buy what they expected, they will be attracted by discounts and new product recommendations. Besides, even if they don't buy anything, they can still learn about fashion trends and market conditions, which is always rewarding. If boys can't buy anything, they will probably think about the next time."

"This gender difference is rooted in the earliest social division of labor among humans. Psychologist David Buss also proposed the theory of hunting and gathering. He believes that before agricultural civilization, the division of labor between the sexes was clear: strong men hunted, while delicate women gathered. Hunting targets are living things, and if you are not careful you can get hurt, so you have to concentrate and make quick decisions. After killing the prey, you also want to go home quickly, so you have to be fast, accurate, and ruthless. Women's gathering work requires various selections to pick out the ones with better quality. This work also has certain risks, and it is possible to find poisonous things, so the key is to expand the range of choices and improve selection skills."

Sakura Eiji smiled gracefully.

"Isn't this just shopping? Your mother often has no purpose, but once she gets to the counter, her principle of wanting to pick the best remains unchanged. To your mother, glass windows and display racks are just a variation of the jungle, except that they have changed from being toxic to whether they look good, how they feel, what the color is, and whether the style is right."

"You did so much homework before?" Sakura Ayane pondered. "I guess you must have been bored before?"

"Of course. Back then, I was a pure boy who seldom even attended social gatherings. I spent so much effort to please her. Fortunately, I have finally achieved my goal and can finally be free." Sakura Eiji sighed, "After all, you have been married for so many years. If you are a little impatient a few times, what can your mother do? Can you still get a divorce?"

Sakura Ayane nodded thoughtfully and walked away.

Soon, the old father's voice begging for mercy was heard from the living room, and the traditional art of opera performance was performed.

"You've always been so good to me and helped me plan for the college entrance exam. Maybe my parents have expressed their gratitude, but I have always wanted to express my gratitude. I have worked hard to save up several months' salary, please accept this token of my gratitude." Sakura Ayane said sincerely, clasping her hands in front of her chest, with a nervous look in her eyes as she looked up.

"Since you are so sincere and you care about me, how can I refuse?" Yin Ze used a knowing smile to cover up his embarrassment, "Okay, then I will be disrespectful to refuse."

After that, Master Yin calmly walked into the rows of clothing racks. With his excellent aesthetic taste, he quickly picked out several summer clothes with a sense of design. He asked casually, "Which one do you think is better?"

Sakura Ayane kept her father's summary in mind and followed the principle that the purpose of shopping for boys is to satisfy their needs. She said neatly, "It looks cool and very suitable for summer!"

"No, no, no."

Unexpectedly, the experienced Yin Ze shook his head like a teacher who found a wrong answer.

“This is not a good answer. Although it is more specific than ‘I don’t know’ and ‘You decide’, you should say ‘It suits your temperament’ or ‘You can try this style’. And if you feel it is not suitable, you can’t say ‘It doesn’t look good’, but implicitly emphasize that it is the clothes that are the problem, and people are still beautiful.”

"Ah?" Sakura Ayane was a little confused and didn't understand what was going on for a moment.

"When it's hard to answer, you can praise both pieces and then throw the question back. 'This piece shows your figure, and this piece shows your taste, what do you think?'" Yin Ze taught, "In this way, you can go shopping with girls smoothly in the future. Many people misunderstand that shopping is not about legs and feet, but emotional intelligence."

"But, but I'm with you now." Sakura Ayane was stunned.

“Then buy it?” Yin Ze also came back to his senses and was stunned.

"purchase."

Then I tried it on for a while and went to the front desk to check out. The whole process took no more than ten minutes.

For both sides, it was an unprecedented speed.

How can shopping be so smooth and efficient?

"I get along well with you. When I'm with you, I don't have to think about so many little things." Yin Ze sighed.

"That just shows that we have a good relationship." Sakura Ayane said happily.

"So where did you plan to go next?" Yin Ze asked again.

"Battle Night Arcade." Sakura Ayane spoke word by word.

"Okay, okay, I really like it." Yin Ze was overjoyed.

"Wait a minute, I'll go buy you an ice cream."

"I'll go line up."

"Hey, you're just taking a rest, I'll go."

The two of them sat side by side in the shade in front of the flower bed, licking the milky ice cream.

"This is what it feels like to be on vacation." Yin Ze said suddenly.

"This isn't just for summer." Sakura Ayane muttered, "There's a long way to go."

"Oh, you can even make some cool sentences now?" Yin Ze joked.

"As for me, although I didn't start working as early as some of the seniors in the industry, I also started dubbing training in middle school. I'm still so young, I will definitely continue to improve in the future, become a great voice actor, and achieve more."

Sakura Ayane said slowly.

"And I got into a good university. I didn't let you and dad down... So you can trust me. Even if it doesn't work now, I will definitely be able to help you in the future."

"You've already helped me. I mean it." Yin Ze raised his hand and showed the big ice cream in his hand.

In this ice cream cone, the man saw summer.

Chapter 170: Arriving at the Most Remote Village in the Northeast

Line, Do Not Disturb is set up successfully.

Circle of friends, release of official documents on business trips.

Promote the account and forward several articles about the animations in which you participated.

Foreign affairs have been arranged.

Next is the management of the travel bag: a sun hat, the same sunglasses as Director Wang, a new fashion T-shirt, a pair of beach pants, two pairs of socks, a bottle of Liushen toilet water, a face towel, White Rabbit candy, a laptop, a charger, toilet paper, and a pink electric toothbrush won in a shopping street lottery...

It sounds like a lot, but it's just enough to fill a backpack.

In fact, I have taken it very seriously. Recalling my last two long trips, one to the "Ronin Kenshin" crew and the other to the Kyoto Animation studio, I only brought a charging cable with me and left with empty hands.

This time, we were well prepared, mainly because the photography location was in the countryside, and we had to stay there for at least two or three days. Yin Ze was actually the lazy type who would purchase necessities at the destination, but considering that transportation in the mountain village might be a little inconvenient, he made basic preparations.

The most important thing, of course, is your wallet.

Hehehe, it contains the travel expenses and travel expenses requested from the agent.

"Little Forest" is adapted from the manga of the same name by cartoonist Igarashi Kosuke. It tells the story of the protagonist Ichiko returning to the countryside from the city and living a self-sufficient life in the harsh nature. She has to learn farming for daily food. It is a food drama movie.
