Soon, Cao Zhiqiang and Koizumi Kyoko came to the ramen restaurant recommended by Sada Reiko. Then Cao Zhiqiang ordered a bowl of tonkotsu ramen, and Koizumi Kyoko ordered a bowl of fish ramen.
After eating the noodles, sure enough, the old man Cao Zhiqiang was sitting there drinking barley tea, and the person who paid was Kyoko Koizumi.
After Koizumi paid the money, he happily accompanied the expressionless Cao Zhiqiang out of the store and continued shopping while holding one of Cao Zhiqiang's arms.
Although spending Kyoko Koizumi's money is a bit like being a softie, Cao Zhiqiang feels that since he has never thought about falling in love with Kyoko Koizumi and is just an ordinary friend, it is nothing. At most, it is a friend's help.
Anyway, it's not like Cao Zhiqiang won't pay back the money, and it would be troublesome to go back at this time, so that's fine.
It would be better if she disliked him for it.
But what I didn't expect was that Cao Zhiqiang's behavior not only did not make Koizumi feel despised, but also kept him happy.
"No, Miss Koizumi, I'll lend you some money to eat some noodles. Is this really funny? Why do you keep laughing?"
Hearing Cao Zhiqi's question, Koizumi Kyoko quickly smiled and shook his head: "No, Mr. Zhiqiang, please don't misunderstand me. I'm a happy kid and I don't mean to laugh at you."
After a brief pause, Koizumi Kyoko said: "That's right, we Japanese men are generally very chauvinistic and are not willing to spend women's money, especially those with some ability.
Mr. Zhiqiang, you are talented, and you are also the manager of a large company in your country. You should not be short of money, and your status should not be bad.
You are willing to spend my money, and you are not reluctant or shy, which makes me very happy.
Because it shows that you respect me and treat me as an equal, without that annoying machismo.
So, I am really happy and I don’t mean to make fun of you at all. "
Cao Zhiqiang raised his eyebrows: "That's right, Miss Xiaoquan, you are really different."
"Of course." Koizumi Kyoko smiled, "But please don't call me Miss Koizumi. Just call me Kyoko."
Cao Zhiqiang looked at Kyoko Koizumi: "Okay, Miss Koizumi."
Koizumi Koizumi immediately flattened her lips, hugged Cao Zhiqiang's arm and said loudly: "It's Koizumi, it's Koizumi! Don't call me Miss Koizumi!"
Cao Zhiqiang was stunned and subconsciously looked around and found that he was on a main road and there were several passers-by passing by.
Although the passers-by didn't look over, Cao Zhiqiang still felt that it was inappropriate to continue the commotion like this.
So Cao Zhiqiang quickly whispered: "Okay, okay, today, okay?"
"That's right!" Koizumi Kyoko chuckled and continued to hold Cao Zhiqiang's arm, "Let's go, I'll take you for a walk around Tokyo Tower. When you come here, you must go to Tokyo Tower to see it, otherwise it will be in vain. Trip.
By the way, there is an aquarium there, which is also fun. You will definitely like it. "
Cao Zhiqiang nodded noncommittally, stopped talking, allowed the other party to hold his arm, and stopped asking the other party to let go.
In fact, Cao Zhiqiang is not an idiot. He can see that Koizumi Kyoko is attracted to him.
Cao Zhiqiang noticed it last night, so he deliberately behaved coldly and said from the beginning that he had a girlfriend. His original intention was to get her to give up as soon as possible.
But he never expected that she would come to look for him this morning, and she would even rely on him.
Also, the reason why Cao Zhiqiang wanted to spend her money before was not only because he really forgot to bring his wallet and was too lazy to go back to get it, but also because he wanted to deliberately use this way of eating soft food to make her annoying.
After all, in Japan at this time, it was very despised for a man to spend money on a woman. If he did this, normally Koizumi Kyoko would hate him, or think that he is a bumpkin.
But what I didn't expect was that Cao Zhiqiang made it clear that he wanted to spend her money on eating, drinking and having fun. Not only was this girl not disgusted or angry, but she looked happier. She even made up the idea of equality between men and women and not being chauvinistic. idea.
It can only be said that women who fall in love are unreasonable.
Even so, Cao Zhiqiang felt that he still had to ask and explain clearly first to avoid incurring another love debt.
"Well, Xiaoquan..."
"Well, what do you call me?"
"Today's son!"
"That's right!"
Cao Zhiqiang sighed, and then asked as he walked: "Today, you, do you like me?"
"Yes!" Koizumi Kyoko replied without raising her head.
Noticing that Koizumi Kyoko answered so quickly, Cao Zhiqiang frowned slightly, and then said: "But, we have only known each other for less than two days."
Koizumi Kyoko then raised his head and looked at Cao Zhiqiang, then looked forward with a smile again and said:
"Although we have known each other for a short time, I know that I just like you.
Well, maybe it was love at first sight. "
Hearing what Koizumi Kyoko said, Cao Zhiqiang scratched his head and said, "But, I have a girlfriend."
"I know." Koizumi Kyoko smiled.
"I knew you were still like this?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.
Koizumi Kyoko suddenly stopped, then looked up at Cao Zhiqiang again, smiled and said: "Zhiqiang-kun, actually, I fell in love with you when we first met yesterday, and you, you should also be able to watch it last night Come out, I like you, right?"
Cao Zhiqiang, who was pulled by Koizumi Kyoko and had to stop, frowned slightly, then nodded: "Yes."
"Then do you think I'm beautiful?" Koizumi Kyoko asked.
"Beautiful." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.
"How about your girlfriend?" Koizumi Kyoko asked again, "Tell the truth!"
"Um..." Cao Zhiqiang blinked and was about to tell the truth, but after seeing her stern face, he still said, "Each has his or her own merits."
Koizumi Kyoko then smiled: "Humph, I knew it."
Immediately afterwards, Koizumi Kyoko lowered her head and said: "Well, in fact, you said so decisively last night that you had a girlfriend. I knew you were rejecting me in a subtle way. Akina also told me this in private before, asking me not to say anything to you again. You are tempted.
I originally wanted to let you go, but after we were separated, your shadow was all over my mind, and I couldn’t let go of you no matter what. I always wanted to see you again.
I have never felt this way before, and I have never felt this way about a boy, but I know that this should be love.
I was very conflicted at first and thought I should just let it go, but I really couldn't let it go and couldn't sleep no matter what.
Then I thought, you have a girlfriend, but you are not married yet. "
Speaking of this, Koizumi Kyoko raised his head and asked Cao Zhiqiang: "You are not married, are you, Mr. Zhiqiang?"
"Yes, yes." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "I'm not married, but..."
"That's enough!" Koizumi Kyoko took a deep breath and said seriously, "Zhiqiang-kun, although I know this is wrong, since you are not married, I still have a chance.
Although I am a latecomer and it is a bit late to meet you, I am very sincere and really want to associate with you.
I am willing to compete fairly with your girlfriend, and I hope you can make a careful choice. "
Cao Zhiqiang was stunned by the other party's confession: "Today, do you know what you are doing?"
"I know!" Koizumi Kyoko nodded seriously.
“I know what I’m doing is wrong, it’s like a third party is interfering.
However, I am different from those third parties who interfere in other people's marriages for financial gain. I am not doing it for money, nor for profit, nor for revenge or other messy things. I do it because of love, because I like it!
Love is guiltless, liking is also guiltless!
I like you, I really like you, I simply want to be with you, without any materialistic desires.
Even if I can't get your response to my love for you, it can't stop me from liking you.
No matter whether you have a girlfriend or not, whether you are married or not, you can't stop me from liking you or loving you!
So, please don’t be burdened, you just need to accept it with peace of mind. "
Speaking of this, Koizumi Kyoko bit her lip: "Of course, if my love for you can melt your new heart, get your feedback, and then make you choose to be with me, then it would be best, even if it doesn't work. , that’s okay, I will continue to like you and will never do anything to embarrass you.”
After hearing the other party's confession, Cao Zhiqiang was speechless.
This is such a mess.
Although what she said sounded nice, to put it bluntly, she just wanted to win over love.
It's just that she doesn't take it by force, but wants to pay silently, that is, she is willing to be a mistress.
Even if she doesn't accept it, she will still like herself, but she won't force herself to do anything for her.
How can I put it, this kind of love seems great, but in fact it is very shameless.
Wait, why does her idea look so like the heroine in a bloody romance drama?
Ah, by the way, in Japan these days, this kind of unrequited love drama, where you just give without expecting anything in return, seems to be popular.
That "Tokyo Love Story", isn't that the same routine?
If I were a scumbag, or a true literary youth, I would probably have followed it, and then I would be very moved.
It's a pity that I am not a real scumbag, but a fake literary youth. It is difficult for me to accept her kind of feelings.
The most important thing is that Kyoko Koizumi is good, but her looks are not very impressive.
She's cute, but she's too short.
She's less than 1.6 meters tall, reaching up to her shoulders. This height difference looks cute, but in fact, I don't like girls with short legs.
In addition, I already have enough love debts on my body, and I don’t want to provoke any more.
This is all trouble.
Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang frowned and said: "Well, Xiaoquan, no, today, I am very grateful for your love for me, but is it possible that your love for me is actually an illusion?"
"Illusion?" Koizumi Kyoko was stunned, "What do you mean?"
Cao Zhiqiang quickly explained: "Look, we have only met once before, and we don't know each other well. Then, when you heard that I am from China, you will probably be curious about me.
Curiosity killed the cat. Just because you are curious about me, you want to know me, and then you may go back and forth and get confused in your thinking, thinking that this is like and this is love.
In fact, not necessarily, this may be just pure curiosity.
Of course, it may not only be curiosity, but it may also be that you have been too busy and tired from work recently and want to find a boyfriend to have a relationship. You happened to see me and wanted to have a relationship with me in a foreign country. "
Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang sighed and said: "To be honest, before I came to Japan, when I was learning Japanese by myself, I had fantasies about having a foreign love and finding a Japanese woman as my girlfriend..."
"Isn't that just right!" Koizumi Kyoko suddenly laughed, "You and I can just have a love affair between China and Japan!"
Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand quickly: "No, no, no, listen to what I have to say."
"Okay." Koizumi Kyoko put her hands behind her hands with a smile, bent slightly and looked up at Cao Zhiqiang and said, "You tell me, I will listen carefully!"
Cao Zhiqiang scratched his head, looked around subconsciously, and found that there were surprisingly few people coming on this road.
Is it because it's too early or because it's too biased?
After subconsciously looking around, Cao Zhiqiang said to Koizumi Kyoko: "Where did I say it?"
Kyoko Koizumi said with a smile: "Speaking of which, you have long wanted to find a Japanese woman as your girlfriend."
"Ah yes." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "I thought so before, but that was only before!"
Then, Cao Zhiqiang said: "At that time, I just started to learn Japanese by myself, and I didn't have a girlfriend yet, and then I watched the TV series "Blood Doubt". By the way, have you seen that TV series?"
"Of course." Koizumi Kyoko said with a smile, "Of course I have watched that drama. Yamaguchi Momoe is my idol and senior."
"Haha." Cao Zhiqiang smiled.
“When I first watched that drama, like many people, I fell in love with Sachiko Oshima at first sight, so I fantasized about having a Japanese girlfriend like Momoe Yamaguchi, and even started learning Japanese on my own for this reason.
However, when I grew up, matured, and had a girlfriend, I no longer had that idea because it was too unrealistic.
So, what am I going to say?
What I want to say is that many times, what we call love at first sight may be just an impulse or a delusion.
Just like when I wanted a Japanese girlfriend just like Sachiko Oshima, it was an unrealistic delusion born out of curiosity.
By the same token, you are still young now, only seventeen years old. Just like me back then, you are at the age where you are full of fantasies about everything.
When you suddenly see me, a boy from mainland China, who speaks Japanese so fluently and can sing Japanese songs, you will naturally be very surprised and curious.
Because you are curious, you want to know more about me, and then because you are too stressed or too lonely, you want to find someone to rely on, plus I am not bad looking, you like it, etc. Many reasons.
Anyway, a variety of factors are intertwined together, giving you an illusion that you have fallen in love with me and fallen in love with me at first sight.
But these are false delusions and your impulse.
You just have to go back and calm down and you'll realize how ridiculous it all is.
Therefore, Miss Kyoko, you don't like me, you are just tired and want to find someone to rely on.
I suggest you take a good rest for some time, travel, relax, and give yourself a vacation.
When you come back from vacation, you will no longer have feelings for me, a bumpkin from the mainland. "
As soon as Cao Zhiqiang finished speaking, Koizumi frowned.
But soon, Koizumi Kyoko looked up at Cao Zhiqiang again: "I understand, you want me not to pester you, is that right? You hate me?"
"No, how could it be?" Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, "You are so cute and straightforward, how could I hate you? I just don't want you to go astray, and I don't want you to continue to be deceived by your own illusions.
You are an artist, and you will face all kinds of temptations and deceptions in the future. It is better to mature as soon as possible. In this way, you will be able to take fewer detours and encounter less scumbags and deceptions in the future. I, I am doing this for your own good. ah. "
Koizumi tilted his head and looked at Cao Zhiqiang carefully.
After seeing Cao Zhiqiang smiling, Koizumi Kyoko suddenly rushed over and hugged Cao Zhiqiang.
Then, with Cao Zhiqiang looking confused, Koizumi Kyoko hugged him and jumped and shouted: "Ah, I like it, I like it so much! I really, really like it so much!"
After saying that, Koizumi Kyoko fiercely hugged Cao Zhiqiang's head, stared into his eyes, and said with blurred eyes: "Zhiqiang-kun, Zhiqiang-kun?"
"What, what's wrong?" Cao Zhiqiang said blankly.
Koizumi Kyoko smiled: "Whether it's true or not, no matter what happens in the future, at this moment, I just love you to death, and I love you more and more."
Speaking of this, Koizumi Kyoko took a deep breath: "No matter what, fall in love first and then talk about it!"
Immediately afterwards, regardless of Cao Zhiqiang's expression, Koizumi Kyoko hugged Cao Zhiqiang's head, tiptoed and tilted his head, and kissed him directly.
