Tokyo Sound

"Yes." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu nodded, and quietly moved his feet to distance himself from the young girl behind him. Not dealing with pretty people of the opposite sex was one part, and the biological instinct to sense danger was another part.

"Sakura-san looks full of energy today, too." Yin Ze extended his hand, smiled brightly, and greeted his old acquaintance.

But there was no immediate answer.

After all, we have known each other for so long that I have already built up a cognitive impression of the girl in my mind.

He is a boyish man, well-educated, unique, and always has a divergent mindset. He always wears a different brand of clothing every time he sees him. His mood is as unstable as stocks. Sometimes he is warm and friendly, and sometimes he is cold and points fingers at him. Just like his life corridor, he belongs to the Schrodinger series.

Yin Ze watched intently at this time.

With his hands in his pockets, a hostile look in his eyes, and slightly droopy mouth, he looks like a worker whose project has been sent back and asked to be redone, and he is angry and wants to speak out... It seems that the compass today has turned to "slightly fierce, likes to confront people."

Okay, as long as you don’t get into trouble.

"I'm still no match for you, who are so heartless and careless all the time." Sakura Ayane finally snorted coldly.

As expected, the words were thorny. Yin Ze, who had foresight, smiled gracefully, "Didn't you say a few days ago that you were worried about the midterm exam? How are you doing recently? Do you need a helping hand from me, a ruthless humanoid history test-taking machine?"

"No need for that. I'm just an ordinary poor student. How can I afford to be a student from a high school? How can I dare to ask you to teach me hand in hand?" Sakura Ayane said lightly.

"I didn't say I would teach you step by step. That would be too much trouble. You can just take a photo of the questions you don't understand and send them to me."

"?"

"How about it? Do you need me to set a range for you to memorize?" Yin Ze asked again.

"No! No need!"

It’s bad enough that you don’t like studying, but you have to shout it out loud to let the world know. Now everyone knows that you have to take a make-up exam.

Yin Ze shook his head in disappointment.

"You two have a good relationship, right?" Uchida Maaya raised her eyebrows and said in surprise when she saw the boy was used to being scolded many times.

"It's okay, we just go to the arcade together occasionally." Yin Ze thought about it, still unwilling to give up, and said, "Actually, next time, Uchida, you can also come with us..."

"Ah, I won't go there anymore. It's time-consuming and laborious. After all, I have to focus on my studies." Sakura Ayane suddenly said lazily.

"What? What about the clearance record of the bloodthirsty warrior fighting the zombie king?!" Yin Ze was shocked.

"You ask her to accompany you."

"Then you have to check in in person to get the physical limited edition reward! We are only two levels away! If you give up, won't all your efforts be wasted?"

"Oh." Sakura Ayane shrugged nonchalantly.

"At your age, breaking your promise is as easy as eating and drinking water. What will happen next? I must teach and correct you on behalf of Miss Zhisen and bring you back to the right path!" Yin Ze rolled up his sleeves viciously.

"Huh?! Do you still want to hit me?" Sakura Ayane snorted, raised her head and took a step forward arrogantly.

"I just want to rub your shoulders." Yin Ze suddenly lost all his momentum and responded with a wry smile.

"Aren't you trying to correct me because I didn't keep my promise?" Sakura Ayane glanced at him.

"To deal with symptoms, there are strong medicines and gentle treatments. Are you kidding? How could I hurt you? I simply don't have the heart to do that. Besides, couples who break up can never get back together. Paper can be glued back together even if it's torn into pieces. I believe what Sakura said just now was just a joke to liven up the atmosphere."

The girl held her hands up, looking as if she wanted to hear what else he had to say and how he could continue his smooth talk.

Yin Ze chose to stop loss and freeze the clearance record.

He dropped the topic and started introducing his new colleague. He was a disqualified employee who had never been to the company, but he acted like an agent.

"This is Uchida Maaya, she is one term younger than us and has just joined the company. Welcome, welcome. This is Sakura Ayane, she has excellent professional skills and a beautiful voice as clear as a stream flowing over rocks. What's more valuable is that she is still young and has a bright future."

"I've heard of it before." Uchida Maaya said with a smile, "You and Matsuoka-kun were interviewed by a magazine as outstanding students, right?"

"Oh, yes." said Matsuoka Yoshitsugu, who was standing with his hands behind his back and silently observing the distance.

"This is Miss Maaya Uchida. She is very beautiful, kind-hearted, and friendly. She is worth getting to know." Yin Ze said again.

"I met her a few times in the training center." Sakura Ayane's tone was as calm as if she was describing a classmate from the next class.

"Ah? So familiar?" Yin Ze was slightly stunned.

"Excluding Sakura-san, the three of us were in the same class before, weren't we?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu said helplessly, "Although you are a special student and have only studied for a short time, we have all taken classes together."

"Oh, yes." Someone coughed dryly.

There is also this thing.

"Takizawa-kun doesn't have a very good memory. Although we had little contact at the training center, when we first met, he was completely polite and reserved to me, as if I were a stranger." Uchida Maaya said deliberately, with her signature smile on her face.

"No, Takizawa has a very good memory. He is even used to memorizing scripts." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu tried to clear his friend's name.

"So you are deliberately acting indifferent?" Uchida Maaya asked back.

"No, that's not what I meant..." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu was speechless.

"Forget it. Anyway, we are back at the starting line now. Even though I am a step behind, I will definitely catch up."

Uchida Maaya tilted her head and spoke softly.

"Let's just treat it as getting to know each other again. Let's make it better, Takizawa-kun. Please give me your guidance."

There is unexpected weight in these words.

"I am." The boy paused and said, "Please give me your guidance in the future."

"Does anyone have Nakajima-san's contact information?" Sakura Ayane suddenly interrupted.

"I have, I have." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu took out his cell phone. In fact, he had wanted to call and ask for a long time, but he always felt that there was no suitable opportunity. Sakura-san was still very straightforward.

When the dial button was pressed, the signal flew out like an invisible fairy, riding on the wind, passing through the crowded crowd, and landed diligently on that person's head, ringing the other party's bell.

A ringtone with a vintage Showa feel rang out from very close by.

The four of them subconsciously looked in the direction of the melodious singing.

With a plain hairstyle, monotonous framed glasses, a gray jacket, and skillfully crossed legs, the middle-aged man held a drink in his hand, biting the straw in his mouth, and sat on the edge of the flower bed, leisurely like an audience member going to the theater to listen to a concert.

"Ah, I've been discovered." The middle-aged man said to himself regretfully, took out his mobile phone and hung up the call.

"Mr. Nakajima?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu looked a little confused. "When were you there?"

"While you were spying on them, I was also spying on you and them from behind." The middle-aged man said in a low voice as if reciting a famous saying.

"Are you the kid who keeps an ant observation diary...?"

"What a pity! If I had muted the sound, I might have seen something even better." The middle-aged man raised his head and sighed, "Like human nature, true love, and loneliness as awkward as snow."

"Don't talk like a mad scientist with a weird mental illness!"

Chapter 42 Two more chapters will be updated tomorrow

Company team building is one of the few kindnesses of capital.

Yin Ze actually doesn't like team building and socializing. Adults always have to be measured when communicating, and they have to know when to smile. As he gets older, class reunions have gradually become more secular.

In the past, after eating out, we would go to the Internet cafe together. Everyone was happy and had no problem with it. But now, in the second half of the night, they all go to the foot massage parlor to indulge in depravity.

Alas, when you start to feel that the game is not fun, the boy in your heart may have already begun to die.

I have been to all kinds of events, invitations and gifts, and have been to all kinds of high-end hotels, princess KTVs, and holiday villas. I just feel tired and don't love it. I can no longer experience the passion and happiness when the whole class went on a spring outing in elementary school.

...Until today he encountered a miracle, a team-building trip to a children's amusement park, which was so pure that he suspected there was some conspiracy.

"Since Mr. Nakajima has chosen this place, I believe you have already planned the itinerary in mind, right?" Yin Ze asked, eager to appreciate this extraordinary way of building team spirit.

"Of course, today is a luxurious day." Nakajima Jianji smiled kindly and took out a stack of tickets from his pocket.

For a moment, the man thought he was going to distribute some to them and hand out flyers and advertisements.

"I have coupons for almost all items here. I've brought my children here for many years and saved them over time!" Senior Nakajima held a large number of discount coupons in his hands like playing cards in a fan shape, with a chic demeanor, just like an experienced dealer. "Please don't be polite to me, just play as much as you can and improve your relationship!"

"Even if you say so..." muttered Sakura, who basically never paid attention to discounts and promotions.

"Really? Well, let me ask you first, can some discounts be combined?" asked Matsuoka Yoshitsugu.

"Sure." Nakajima nodded.

"What a great gift this is." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu seemed a little excited.

"what?"

"You can buy the latest game console with just your pocket money, so you probably haven't realized the deep meaning of this." Yin Ze whispered, "A true life expert is good at using various business benefits to get by. The only cost is time."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, Matsuoka-kun is such a life expert, and he is at a very high level." Yin Ze said admiringly, "I guess even experienced housewives can't be as careful with money as he is. Now there are so many coupons in front of me, just like a hungry wolf seeing meat, the desire to fight has been burning."

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu took over a pile of tickets, his demeanor changed, and he began to count and read them skillfully.

"I see. For this item, you can only use two of the same ticket. Discount coupons with an amount below 3000 yen can be used together with the voucher. There are so many group tickets... Wow, are there any staged discounts for reaching a certain sign-in? Let's see if there is a discount period today."

The good man, who exuded a good and frugal atmosphere, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously. The formula for victory has been thought of, he said confidently and happily.

"Today, we can enjoy nearly two-thirds of the attractions in the amusement park for almost free, including some exciting and hardcore dishes!"

So fast! Yin Ze exclaimed that it was professional.

"Oh, that's amazing. My wife also tried the combination when she had some free time, and she concluded that she could only play half of the items at most." Nakajima Masaji was surprised.

"Because we have the advantage in numbers, we can trigger some conditions for multiple exemptions." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu said modestly.

"You're really reliable. How about letting Matsuoka-kun lead us to the first stop?" Nakajima Kenji encouraged.

"In that case, how about we ride the roller coaster first?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu said with a smile.

"Okay, okay. What about everyone else?" Nakajima Masaji nodded and looked at them.

"I think it's okay." Yin Ze agreed happily. Riding a roller coaster in an amusement park is like eating hot pot with tripe and duck intestines. It is a traditional culture.

"Okay." Maaya Uchida, who had not interrupted until now, smiled.

"...No problem." Sakura Ayane followed.

But it was too late. Yin Ze's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. Compared with Ms. Uchida's natural and calm voice, Sakura's voice was so weak and fierce, as if she had met an oil-stealing woman but she had the pride and dignity of an adult, and forced herself to put on an indifferent attitude and appearance in front of outsiders.

However, whenever the oil thief approached her, her psychological defenses would collapse, and she would scream in fear and flee in an ugly manner.

"Don't you want to sit?" Yin Ze asked sincerely.

"I..." the girl began.

"You're not scared, are you?" Yin Ze's eyes were as clear as water and his tone was concerned.

The girl fell silent for two seconds, then straightened her back, "Who said that? Didn't I confirm the suggestion? Are you kidding? I often play on the bungee jumping machine and pirate ship."

"But you hesitated." Yin Ze coaxed the girl with concern, "If you're afraid, just say it. 17 years old sounds mature, but it's normal to still not dare to face the darkness in your heart. How about I accompany you to the performance area to watch Anpanman? There will be a scene where they read out loud the ultimate move!"

"I'm not a child!" Sakura Ayane said viciously, "It's just a roller coaster, I ride it often."

"That's good." Yin Ze laughed a few times with contempt and satisfaction, "Let's go now without further delay."

"Hey, you guys go ahead, I'm going to the bathroom." Sakura Ayane paused, "Anyway, there must be a lot of people queuing for that kind of thing, there's no need to rush."

"Yeah, that's right, let's go first." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu didn't notice him, and after walking a few steps, he found that someone didn't move, "Uh, Takizawa, you're not coming either?"

"I'll wait for her here, and then we'll come together. Otherwise, if you all line up in the front, it won't be good for her to buy a ticket and sit down alone in the back." The man said with a smile.

"Takizawa-kun is really considerate." Uchida Maaya sighed.

Nakajima Jianji also said approvingly, "Very good, this is what colleagues of the same period should do, caring about each other and helping each other. Then we will go first."

The three of them walked away slowly.

"You don't have to wait for me." Sakura Ayane said expressionlessly.

"Don't worry about it, we are good friends." Yin Ze waved his hand.

"I, I'll be gone for a long time." Sakura Ayane said with a slightly blushing face.

"Friendship will not be eroded by time. I will patiently watch over it."

"Don't you think it's extremely rude to blatantly wait for a girl to go to the bathroom?!"

"What really hurts people's hearts is abandonment, indifference, and disdain." Oh, by the way, I have some paper here, do you need it?" The delicate boy always brings paper when he goes out, and it came in handy today as always.

"No!" The girl stomped her feet vigorously.

"...You don't even need paper? Isn't that a bit reckless?" Yin Ze was a little surprised.

Sakura Ayane finally couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed up with her teeth bared, trying to vent her anger by punching and kicking.
