Ning Weimin suddenly interrupted, "Please feel free to stay and have a meal together."
His relaxed and calm expression stunned both Ryoko Ishida and Keiko Matsumoto.
"What?"
Especially Ishida Ryoko, she almost suspected that she had heard wrongly and felt very puzzled.
In such an embarrassing situation, the other party actually invited her to stay?
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't he want her to go as fast and as far as possible?
"Excuse me...you...what does this mean?"
Ning Weimin smiled slightly when he saw Ryoko Ishida, who was full of anxiety and lowered his head.
"To put it simply, we are very aware that there is no place to eat nearby, and we don't want you to go looking for a restaurant when you are hungry. When you say goodbye, do you want to leave here completely? But it is not as late as Tokyo.
, most of the restaurants are closed. We only found this store after walking for a while. Do you have any other better choices besides dining here?"
"That's what I said, but... don't you mind..."
"do not mind."
Ning Weimin shook his head slightly and smiled again.
"As you said, we have met twice during the journey. We are indeed destined. Shouldn't we become friends because of this?"
Then he turned to Keiko Matsumoto and said, "You are about to start working together, so there should be many common topics to talk about, right? You must be the most understanding of each other about the joys and sorrows of the entertainment industry, and the pressure you have to endure.
Human? You must also hope to have the opportunity to have a good chat with Ishida-san and get to know each other better, right?"
"Hey, that's right. I would also like to ask Ishida-san to take care of me in the future."
After hearing what Ning Weimin said, Matsumoto Keiko could only smile and nod.
But frankly speaking, Matsumoto Keiko felt confused and reluctant.
Because from her perspective, she felt that the situation in front of her was a bit frustrating.
Come to think of it, one of the people I rescued on the road was actually Ishida Yoshiko who stole his advertisement and heroine, so that's all.
I never expected that my emotional privacy would be breached by this career competitor.
Would it be weird if Matsumoto Keiko had a crush on Ishida Ryoko?
Being able to maintain superficial politeness like this is already very well-educated.
Although the other party understood his interest and took the initiative to say goodbye, Ning Weimin insisted on retaining the other party for dinner together.
How could this make her feel happy?
Especially women in love are more suspicious and sensitive.
Seeing that Ning Weimin always found ways for his opponent, Matsumoto Keiko could not help but think too much about it, and even felt that her kindness was not repaid.
If you fail to deal with emotional Murphy's Law, it will be confirmed again in yourself.
But having said that, the reason why actors are actors is that they still have outstanding abilities in concealing their true emotions and controlling their emotions.
Even in this situation, she still wanted to give face to Ning Weimin, and Matsumoto Keiko's appearance skills were still impeccable.
And her calm demeanor not only saved everyone's face, but also concealed it from Ishida Ryoko, which made her feel relieved.
Immediately, with a little trepidation, I responded happily.
"No, no, Matsumoto-san, please take good care of me from now on."
Coupled with Ning Weimin's repeated enthusiasm.
"Ishida-san, please hurry up and get something. You must be hungry, right? By the way, what do you want to drink? Can you have a glass of beer first?"
So Ishida Ryoko finally ended the anxiety that she had been having since meeting Matsumoto Keiko just now, and from that moment on, she really started to relax.
"Hey, okay, let's have beer."
Not surprisingly, she made the choice to follow the crowd.
Just like that, the shop owner who heard Ning Weimin's greeting quickly brought beer and side dishes.
So Ishida Ryoko picked up the wine glass containing clear beer with both hands, and took the initiative to touch the wine glasses of Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko.
“It tastes really good.”
She took a big sip, her eyes sparkling.
"Looking at you, you seem to have a good drinking capacity." Ning Weimin said a little surprised.
"No, I don't have a good drinking capacity. Actually, it's because... I'm too thirsty." Ryoko Ishida felt a little embarrassed.
"Really? If you like it, please drink as much as possible." Ning Weimin encouraged.
"You'll get drunk if you drink too much."
However, Matsumoto Keiko couldn't help it.
Not only did he sing the opposite tune, but he also secretly pinched Ning Weimin's hand under the table to show his dissatisfaction.
You know, because of drinking, Ishida Ryoko's lips were red and her eyes were slightly squinted.
Her facial features are as deep as those of foreigners, so her expression is quite attractive.
The more attentive Ning Weimin was to Ishida Ryoko at this time, the easier it was for Matsumoto Keiko to become jealous.
This situation is actually quite comparable.
Just like in the movie "Yaksha", Takakura Ken and the bar owner's wife were flirting with each other, but his wife came to find him.
It already feels a bit like a Shura field.
However, Ning Weimin still lacks self-consciousness and is far inferior to Takakura Ken in the film who knows how to give up when things get good.
Although he immediately admitted his mistake, "Sorry, I know you are not allowed to drink alcohol in Japan, but I am really happy today."
But he didn't calm down next. Instead, he retreated and even raised his glass to touch Ishida Ryoko.
After taking this sip, there was only half a glass of wine left in Ishida Ryoko's glass.
At this time, the amount she drank was basically equal to that of Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko.
Needless to say, Keiko Matsumoto was naturally even more angry at such knowing and intentional behavior.
I just wanted to dig my nails into Ning Weimin's flesh.
"How is it? The beer here tastes pretty good, right?" Ning Weimin was still so attentive.
"Well, it's very refreshing...it tastes really good." Ryoko Ishida nodded.
"Since it suits your taste, how about having a drink later? Speaking of being a public figure, it's really hard work. Even when traveling, you have to dress up. That is, only in front of people in the same industry can you feel a little more relaxed, less
Be a little restrained.”
"That's...that's right. I'm so happy today all because of you. But even I'm surprised. I usually drink very little, but this is the first time I've had such a strong drink. The beer here seems to be weak.
Some……"
"You need to drink less to become an expert in wine tasting. After hearing what you said, I realized that it seems like this..."
"No, no, no. I actually don't know how to drink. I don't know how to taste wine at all."
"Then if you say that, it's probably because you are so happy today. Isn't it? Hey, Qingzi, do you think the wine here is weak?"
"It seems so..."
Ning Weimin always worked hard to liven up the atmosphere, and he successfully made Ishida Ryoko very happy.
However, he didn't seem to notice that although Keiko Matsumoto was still echoing her words, compared with the blush on Ryoko Ishida's face that was getting better and better, her face continued to look pale and turned blue.
Finally, ten minutes later, Ishida Ryoko, who had unknowingly drank a large beer under the guidance of Ning Weimin, went to the bathroom.
Matsumoto Keiko had the opportunity to prosecute Ning Weimin for raising an army.
At this time, she could be said to be quite angry.
You know, it has been so many years since he became famous.
As long as there are men in any situation, she has always been the center of attention and has never been a foil for others.
But this time, not only was she crushed by Ishida Ryoko, but the person who ignored her was her own lover.
How could she endure this?
Even with her gentle and peaceful temperament, she was so angry that her whole body went cold.
But at the same time, she was also confused.
Everything was perfect, so how could he be so kind to himself and promise to only love his lover?
Suddenly he shifted his attention to another woman?
She would not believe it even to death that her charm could not compare to Ryoko Ishida.
She couldn't figure it out. She didn't know whether she was blind, the man she chose was too bad, or there was something hidden behind the matter.
So even though she was devastated, even though she couldn't bear it anymore, she still couldn't bear to reprimand Ning Weimin rudely for this.
After all, she is not a shrew, she just wants to find out what is going on.
So at most he could just frown, look directly into Ning Weimin's eyes, and torture his soul.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you so abnormal?"
It was obvious that her tone was more sad than angry, more probing than disappointed, and she was anxiously waiting for the answer.
In fact, Ning Weimin's reaction was both what she expected and what she didn't expect.
Because Ning Weimin has no shame, but he is more anxious and nervous than her. The reason he gave is so incredible.
"Listen to me, I have a way to solve the trouble at hand..."
"what do you mean?"
"I mean you don't have to worry, I can make her keep secret about our relationship..."
"Ah? What...are you going to do?"
"I'm going to get her drunk and take her away. As long as we take a few photos while she's sleeping, we'll have a handle on her..."
When Ning Weimin said this, he patted his backpack.
Matsumoto Keiko immediately remembered that as a standard travel item, there happened to be a point-and-shoot camera installed in it.
But...but what the hell is this idea?
Do you think that if someone breaks into your privacy, do you want to threaten them by taking their private photos?
Not to mention...it's too unrealistic!
"Get her drunk? Take pictures? You... don't mess around."
Keiko Matsumoto categorically denied it and completely regarded Ning Weimin's words as childish whims.
But the strange thing is that her anger began to dissipate unconsciously. At least she found that Ning Weimin was not really moved by his new ideas.
"I'm not messing around."
Seeing that Ning Weimin was still stubbornly insisting, Matsumoto Keiko, whose mood began to improve, couldn't help laughing.
"You're not joking? Do you want to get her drunk with beer? You still say this is not a joke?"
"Beer is not acceptable, but sleeping pills are okay. There is a pharmacy across the street..."
Ning Weimin was confident and pouted outside the store, his expression serious.
"It won't take me five minutes to buy it back. I just need to find an opportunity to put it in her wine glass."
"this……"
Keiko Matsumoto glanced outside the store, and she suddenly realized that Ning Weimin's plan was far more mature than she thought, and it seemed to be feasible.
This couldn't help but make her nervous.
Especially when I think about the terrible consequences if something goes wrong, I even shudder.
"Okay, I'm going. If she comes back and asks about me, just say I went to buy cigarettes."
Ning Weimin knew that time was precious, so he got up to leave.
When Matsumoto Keiko saw this, she grabbed him anxiously and tried to lower her voice to stop him.
"No, don't do that. This...this is illegal. The store owner will become suspicious..."
"Don't be afraid, everything has nothing to do with you, just pretend you don't know anything. If something happens, I will be responsible."
"But if someone finds out, you will be deported, and you won't be able to stay in Japan..."
"I will be careful. I have thought about all possible problems. This matter is not difficult at all..."
"But what if you have a drug allergy? Something will happen if you don't do it right."
"With over-the-counter medicine and beer, it shouldn't be a big problem."
"What if? It's hard to tell about a person's physique..."
"I can't care about this now, I have to protect you!"
Ning Weimin showed a man's responsibility.
Although the heretical methods he adopted may even be classified as criminal acts, these words still moved Keiko Matsumoto deeply.
Instead, she tightly wrapped her arms around Ning Weimin and refused to let him leave.
She now fully understood that everything Ning Weimin had just done was a show of hypocrisy and coercion, and he was completely thinking about her.
Love can not only make women stupid, but it can also make men stupid.
"No! No! Absolutely not!"
She objected fiercely at first, and then asked softly. "If you love me, don't go..."
"Don't say that, of course I love you, that's why I want to go..."
"No, it's not worth it. Not worth it at all."
"Listen to me, I can see that you were scared when you recognized Ishida. Just trust me..."
"No, I'm not afraid. Whatever happens, it's enough for us to be together."
"Qingzi, there's no time, please let me go first..."
"No, I won't let go. And I'm going to tell you, even if you break away, I will do whatever it takes to ruin this thing. I will scream loudly, smash the cup, and dishevel my hair like a madman. Do you believe it?"
Ning Weimin stared at Keiko Matsumoto for a few seconds as if he didn't recognize him, and finally realized that she was also serious.
Yes, if Keiko is really going to do this even if he is willing to destroy himself, then what is the point of his remedial measures?
It seemed like there was no chance, so we had to give it up.
"Okay...it's all up to you." He sighed helplessly.
"Don't be so depressed..."
Matsumoto Keiko held Ning Weimin's arm and put her head on his shoulder, but she showed infinite joy.
"I love you so much……"
Ning Weimin still felt sad.
"Now I just hope that Ishida is the same on the outside and a conscientious person."
Matsumoto Keiko deliberately joked to tease him.
"That's hard to say, you just scared me..."
Ning Weimin's tone began to reveal self-pity and sorrow, and he was more worried than ever.
"Are you afraid of me? Do you think I'm despicable?"
Matsumoto Keiko said sternly, "No, of course I understand that you are doing it all for me. I am just moved. But you have to promise me that you will never, ever, do anything that may be illegal for me. Okay? It's not honorable."
Such methods will only bring hidden dangers that cannot be eliminated. I don’t want you to regret it one day or be ruined by this kind of thing.”
"Okay. I'll listen to you." Ning Weimin agreed obediently, and he really became a submissive donkey.
At this time, under the supervision of Matsumoto Keiko, he began to regain his rationality and calmness.
I also somewhat realized that my brain was really too hot just now, and I almost did something too impulsive.
Love really makes people blind!
"Sorry, it took a little long to go..."
Unknowingly, Ryoko Ishida has returned.
She had no idea that she had almost become a corpse, and now all she could see was Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko cuddling together and whispering.
For her who has not yet recovered from the pain of divorce, she is so envious to see them having such a good relationship and being bullied.
In particular, the age gap between Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko reminded her of her ex-husband Kenichi Hagiwara, who was younger than her.
What a painful memory this is.
But what surprised Ryoko Ishida even more was the obvious change in the moods of Keiko Matsumoto and Ning Weimin.
Ning Weimin, who had been very enthusiastic just now, suddenly seemed to have become quiet.
On the contrary, Keiko Matsumoto, who had not spoken much and was not very active, surprisingly became full of emotions.
I became a lot friendlier and closer to her.
"Ishida-san, I just noticed how beautiful your necklace is? Did you buy it during your trip?"
"I bought this in Arashiyama a few days ago."
"Eh? Have you gone to Arashiyama? We almost went there. But then I was worried that the mountains would be inconvenient and the roads were difficult, so I came to Nara..."
"Oh, that's such a pity. The winter in Arashiyama is also very beautiful. There is still snow now."
"Really? Oh, it would be great if we went there too. Maybe we would meet there."
"Yes, it would be great if that were the case..."
The conversation style in the izakaya has completely changed, and Ning Weimin no longer needs to defend the situation.
The two women chatted passionately with a more positive, friendly and sincere attitude than before.
