"Of course... of course!"

Ning Weimin answered doubtfully, feeling a little confused.

It was as if a crown was hanging before his eyes.

And he originally thought that the crown was just a display piece.

I feel that there is a high probability that I will only have the blessing of looking at this priceless treasure. I wonder if I can touch it with my hands.

But Clinker was immediately told that the crown was originally prepared for him and would be put on his head soon.

So between denial and certainty, between loss and gain, it is full of the torment of sudden sadness and sudden joy, swinging between the unreality of belief and disbelief.

"So as a friend, are you willing to accept the money now? Then treat me to dinner..."

Matsumoto Keiko once again plucked up the courage to ask, and gazed eagerly at Ning Weimin's face.

Out of nervousness, she pursed her lips hard.

In her imagination, this money could be of great use to Ning Weimin's life.

He should be able to wear a new type of sunglasses on his face.

He should also have a nice scarf around his neck.

His wrist needs a higher-end brand-name watch...

In short, he needs too many things and is suitable for too many things.

These are very easy things. She is sincerely willing to help him and is happy to be able to help him.

"I'm... flattered."

Ning Weimin was absolutely sure that he was not dreaming, and that the big star was indeed inviting him.

As the saying goes, it is hardest to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman.

He swallowed hard and hesitated for a moment, but still refused.

"Of course I'm willing to treat you to dinner, but I really don't want to accept your monetary gifts. Because I also sincerely regard you as a friend. Is it possible for friends to do such a small favor and involve monetary transactions?"

But the difference from before was that even if he refused out of a man's pride, Ning Weimin had returned to his gentle and free-spirited normal state.

He is no longer paranoid or angry.

Because he truly understood Matsumoto Keiko’s good intentions.

Yes, if they don't have good intentions and are not sincere, why would they ask me to meet here alone?

Wouldn't it be more convenient to just let the Watanabe who called me give the money to him?

It shows how stupid he was just now, how could he really become a young boy? He acted completely without thinking.

Is this the so-called care that leads to chaos, and the authorities are confused?

At this moment, Ning Weimin began to worry that Matsumoto Keiko would lose face because of his rejection again.

"I'm sorry, my reaction just now was a bit too much. Please forgive me for my paranoia and immaturity. It's an honor for me to be your friend. What kind of food do you like? Please just say it. I will apologize to you.

.”

As a result, although Matsumoto Keiko felt a little regretful that she could not let Ning Weimin accept the money as she wished, she was somewhat relieved.

Especially out of understanding that a man wants to save face, he has no choice but to accommodate him.

"In that case, I won't force you. However, since we are friends, I would like to make a small request. Can you stop using honorifics to me? How strange it is to call me such a name among friends."

"Well, what you're talking about is... ah no, what you're talking about is."

"Call me Qingzi from now on."

Keiko Matsumoto smiled slightly, looking a little playful.

"Ah...Okay, you're welcome then, Miss Keiko."

"I'm not polite anymore. Hey, do you really want to treat me? Can I choose a place?"

"Of course. Don't worry. No matter what, I can still afford a meal, even if it's a high-end restaurant. Should we go to Ginza or Roppongi? Japanese food or Western food?"

Although Ning Weimin only had a few hundred thousand in cash, he now had a credit card, so he felt confident.

He said in his heart, it was just a meal, no matter how expensive the food was, it would be impossible to eat five million yen.

However, he never expected that Matsumoto Keiko would actually say this.

"But I don't want to go to those high-end places. If I just want to go to a very ordinary and interesting place where workers and clerks frequent. Will you misunderstand me again? Will you be angry about this?

?”

"this……"

Ning Weimin couldn't help but be speechless and in trouble.

Because he couldn't be sure whether Matsumoto Keiko was deliberately trying to save him money when he said this, or whether it was just a whim and wanted to experience the life of ordinary people.

"It may surprise you, but the restaurant I mentioned has special meaning to me. It's right next to my middle school, and I really want to go there. It's a small restaurant opened by Korean expats. It serves barbecue and bibimbap.

, kimchi, grilled corn, pollack, and..."

Matsumoto Keiko's explanation was very convincing, but before she finished speaking, she suddenly paused.

As if he remembered something, he lowered his head and sighed softly.

For this reason, Ning Weimin actually felt a little distressed.

He subconsciously asked, "What else?"

"And... the rice dumplings... I haven't had them in years."

Matsumoto Keiko then raised her head again, with an indifferent smile on her face, as if she had been touched by a certain memory.

For more than ten years, this memory has been engraved deep in the soul, breathing with her, growing with her, and can never be erased.

"How many years?"

Ning Weimin's distressed feeling was undoubtedly aggravated by this expression.

The tone of his speech also became softer unconsciously.

"Well...it's been at least two or three years. I don't know if it's still there now, so I really want to go and see it."

It goes without saying that no man would be unwilling to fulfill such a wish.

Ning Weimin no longer thinks about anything else. He does whatever he wants, as long as the woman in front of him is happy.

So looking at Matsumoto Keiko's mesmerizing big eyes, he nodded solemnly, with a very sincere attitude.

"Maybe there is. Then let's go and have a look."

"Are you really willing to accompany me to try it? Don't force it."

"I'm not forcing myself. I really want to go. In fact, I'm very curious about where Miss Keiko goes to school. It would be great if I could see it?"

"I'm afraid this won't work. The school has been demolished."

"Really? That's such a shame."

I have to say that the relationship between men and women is so wonderful.

Once the matter was revealed, all the worries and discomfort that Keiko Matsumoto had just been worried about completely disappeared.

In fact, she had already planned this, otherwise she would not have arranged to meet in the afternoon close to dinner time.

Of course, she also backed down, feeling embarrassed and not wanting to cause trouble.

But in the end, he still couldn't resist his inner desire, so he moved forward step by step and extended an invitation to Ning Weimin.

But then again, doesn’t the meaning of life just lie in having desires?

In this illusory life, what could be more touching than this subtle touch?

If the mask and outer shell were taken off, wouldn't all that is left of a person be a pounding heartbeat?

If we lose this desire, wouldn't people be like a cold and rigid dead person, reduced to a numb machine?

In particular, Ning Weimin's loving eyes in return fully fueled Matsumoto Keiko's self-confidence.

Just like fire that can burn on ice and snow.

Flames jumped before my eyes, and sparks danced in the coldness.

As long as the flame never goes out, every spark will be the fire of hope.

So now Matsuzaka Keiko can look straight at Ning Weimin and look down at him.

She can control him and protect him.

She can guide him, or she can let him.

Although for a proud person like Ning Weimin, the disparity in wealth and status is a shackle and obstacle to enhancing their relationship.

But in reality, a woman's most valuable asset ultimately comes from her own charm.

Yes! When I found out that I was also attractive in front of this young man.
