"Ayako, where are you?" Hattori Mina opened the bedroom door, but did not see Chang Hongling.
"Wait a minute, it'll be ready soon." Chang Hongling's voice came from the bathroom.
Hattori Mina agreed, sitting on the Western-style spring bed, bouncing hard twice, and said to herself: "It seems to be much more comfortable than tatami..."
After a while, Chang Hongling walked in.
"The guests have all arrived and are waiting for you." Hattori Mina said.
"I know." Chang Hongling sat in front of the dressing mirror and put jewelry on her bun.
Hattori Mina looked at Chang Hongling in the mirror and said, "Ayako, why are your eyes swollen?"
"I didn't sleep much last night. I felt like this when I woke up in the morning. I just applied cold water for a while and it's much better."
"If I were to get married, I would definitely be able to stare until dawn..."
Chang Hongling smiled and said: "You certainly won't. Only people like me who think too much can toss and turn and not sleep."
Hattori Mina pretended to be angry: "You mean I'm heartless?"
"Actually, it's better for people to be simple. If they don't think too much, they will live a happy life."
"Well, that seems to make sense... Ayako, are you okay? It's time to go down."
"Okay, let's go."
The two people walked down the stairs one after another, and the eyes of the guests downstairs were immediately attracted.
Chang Hongling was beautiful in her own right, and after being carefully dressed up, she was dressed in a pink floral brocade kimono, with a head full of jewels and pearls. She looked radiant and astonishing as a heavenly being.
Jiang Xinyu took the lead in applauding, and under his leadership, the applause gradually became louder.
Listening to the whispers of praise from the guests around him, Hattori Hikoo felt particularly comfortable. He strode over to greet him, stood side by side with Chang Hongling at the stairs, and said: "Everyone, please listen to what I have to say...
…”
Everyone stopped talking and talking, and the living room became quiet.
Hattori Hikoo glanced at the crowd and said loudly: "Everyone can take time out of your busy schedule to attend my wedding. On behalf of my wife Yamaguchi Ayako, I would like to express my utmost gratitude for this! In addition, the prosperity and stability of Yanjin,
I would also like to rely on the strong support of everyone here!”
The wedding banquet was held at the Asia Hotel. Because the time had not yet come, the guests gathered together in twos and threes to chat. Chang Hongling, accompanied by Hattori Mina, politely greeted the guests.
Arriving in front of Jiang Xinyu, Chang Hongling touched her wrist, turned around and said to Hattori Mina: "Mina, I forgot my watch in the bedroom. Go and get it for me."
Hattori Mina said with a smile: "Ayako, you always say that I am careless, is it your turn this time?"
Chang Hongling said with a smile: "You have found an opportunity to ridicule me! Go quickly, it will be time to leave in a while, oh, by the way, the watch should be in the drawer of the dresser."
"Which drawer?"
"It seems to be the second one?"
"I'll look for it myself!" Hattori Mina walked quickly upstairs.
Chang Hongling whispered to Jiang Xinyu: "Look for an opportunity to go upstairs. There are two pieces of soap in the wastebasket in the bathroom. They are models of the keys to the safe at the gendarmerie headquarters."
Jiang Xinyu said: "When did you do it?"
"When he went upstairs to change just now...the documents of the grain transport team were in the safe, and they couldn't be opened without the key!"
"Soap can leave a smell on your keys."
"Don't worry, I've already wiped it."
"Why don't you just bring it out?"
"With so many people, I have no chance to leave it to you. In the next time, I must stay with Hattori Hikoo."
"How do I get upstairs?"
"I put the watch under the soap box in the bathroom. Mina will definitely not find it. You can accompany her up there again later..."
The two whispered confidential things with smiles on their faces. In the eyes of others, they seemed to be talking about wedding-related topics.
Jiang Xinyu secretly admired that this woman was really brave and careful. Hattori Hikoo went upstairs to change into a dress, which probably only took three or two minutes.
In such a short period of time, Chang Hongling dared to take the opportunity to copy his key, and she did not forget to erase the traces. This kind of behavior requires not only intelligence, but also courage!
If Hattori Hikoo caught him on the spot, no matter how hard he explained, it would be useless.
A few minutes later, Hattori Mina came down from upstairs in frustration, came to them, and said: "Ayako, did you remember it wrong? I searched the dressing table and couldn't find your watch!"
Chang Hongling said with a smile: "You have a simple mind. If you don't have a dressing table, why can't you look for it somewhere else?"
Hattori Mina said: "It's better not to look for it. It can't be lost anyway. You will be the hostess here tonight."
Chang Hongling said: "I'm used to it, but suddenly I don't wear a watch. I always feel like something is missing. Besides, do you want me to spend the whole day on someone else's time?"
Jiang Xinyu said: "Mina, help me look for it again, and I will look for it with you."
Hattori Mina was originally unwilling to go upstairs again, but when Jiang Xinyu said she would accompany her, she pretended to be reluctant and said: "Okay..."
Hattori Hikoo was talking to the guests. He saw Jiang Xinyu and his sister going upstairs from a distance. He walked up to Chang Hongling and said, "What are Mina and the others doing?"
"Oh, I forgot my watch upstairs. She and Captain Jiang helped me look for it." Chang Hongling explained.
"I asked Sakai to bring a few people up to help find..."
"No, Mina is careless, so of course she can't find her. Captain Jiang will help her, so it'll be no problem... Is the lady with Director Wu Mrs. Wu?"
"Yes. Come, let me introduce you." Hattori Hikoo took Chang Hongling to greet Mrs. Wu.
Jiang Xinyu went upstairs, searched in the bedroom for a while, and said, "Mina, I went to the bathroom to see if it was time to wash my hands. I took it off and put it aside."
"Hmm..." Hattori Mina opened the bedside table drawer and rummaged around.
Jiang Xinyu left the bedroom and walked into the bathroom. He turned around and closed the door. He squatted down and rummaged through the wastebasket twice. Sure enough, there were two pieces of soap inside.
He didn't have time to take a closer look, so he quickly put the soap into his arms, took out his watch from under the soap box, turned around and walked out of the bathroom.
Entering the bedroom, Jiang Xinyu handed the watch to Hattori Mina and said, "Found it."
Hattori Mina took the watch and said happily: "Did you really forget it in the bathroom?... Xinyu, you are so smart!"
"All of them are Western-style furniture. Is this Ms. Ayako's idea? I remember that she seemed to particularly like Western things."
Jiang Xinyu looked around. If it weren't for the photos of Hattori Hikoo and Chang Hongling on the wall, one wearing a major military uniform and the other wearing a kimono, it would be impossible to tell that this was a Japanese new house.
"Yes, Ayako was particularly interested in Europe when she was studying... Xinyu, what kind of room decoration do you like?"
"Me?" Jiang Xinyu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I like traditional Chinese furniture. It's antique and feels very good."
Hattori Mina looked at Jiang Xinyu and plucked up the courage to say: "We like the same style. When the time comes, there will be no differences in this aspect."
Looking at this innocent girl, Jiang Xinyu didn't know how to respond. He could only say vaguely: "Of course it is best if there is no disagreement..."
"Xinyu..." Hattori Mina excitedly threw herself into Jiang Xinyu's arms. She regarded these words as a promise.
Jiang Xinyu subconsciously hugged Hattori Mina's soft waist, and the refreshing fragrance of the girl made him a little intoxicated.
Hattori Mina raised her head with her eyes slightly closed, her seductive red lips waiting for a kiss from her sweetheart, and her eyelashes trembling constantly.
The two people's breathing was a little rapid, and they slowly got closer and closer...
Jiang Xinyu suddenly remembered that he still had two pieces of soap in his arms. If Hattori Mina hugged them too tightly, they might become deformed, which would be a waste of all their efforts.
Thinking of this section, he quickly kissed Hattori Mina on the lips, and said with a smile: "It seems a bit inappropriate for us to do this in someone else's new house, what do you think?"
Hattori Mina nodded shyly and said, "Then let's go down!"
