The masked man—Jiang Xinyu—pulled off the mask on his face as he walked and threw the coat into the trash can. Then he came to the street and waved for a rickshaw.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Xinyu appeared in the public toilet of Fujucheng Department Store, closed the toilet partition door, and took off the braces from his mouth. The protruding mouth shape immediately returned to normal.
After listening to the people coming and going outside, I opened the door and walked out. I looked around for a while and then went straight up the stairs to the coffee shop on the third floor.
Hattori Mina held her chin in one hand, stirred the sugar cubes in the coffee with a silver spoon in the other, and looked toward the stairs in boredom.
"How long have you been here?" Jiang Xinyu patted Hattori Mina's shoulder, pulled out a chair and sat down.
"You're almost two minutes late!" Hattori Mina glanced at her watch and said pretending to be angry.
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "If you are late by two minutes, then you are not late."
Hattori Mina said coquettishly: "Quia!"
Jiang Xinyu said casually: "Major, do you have any objection to asking you out so late?"
Hattori Mina chuckled, imitating Hattori Hikoo's voice, and said in a rough voice: "Mina, you are a girl, you should learn to be more reserved, and don't go out so late!"
"I also want to date you during the day, but there are a lot of things happening in the detective team recently..."
"You don't need to explain, I understand everything."
"Then let's go, the movie will start in ten minutes."
"Um."
The two people left Fujucheng Department Store and walked across a road, which was Xindu Cinema.
A huge poster is posted at the door of the cinema: "A Dream of Red Mansions" will be released today, directed by Bu Wancang, starring Yuan Meiyun, Zhou Xuan, Wang Danfeng, Bai Hong.
Following the crowd into the cinema, Hattori Mina said excitedly: "I like Zhou Xuan the most. I haven't seen her movie in a long time."
"Comparatively speaking, I prefer Zhou Xuan's songs." Jiang Xinyu counted the time in his mind. He must inform Lao Qiu about the situation of Roewe Tobacco Company tonight.
"I also like, Tianya Singer, Song of the Four Seasons, I can sing..."
"That's right. How come I've never heard you sing before?"
Hattori Mina said embarrassedly: "My singing is difficult to listen to. Ayako said it was like the gramophone was out of battery."
"Maybe you sing so well and she is jealous of you."
Hattori Mina tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said, "Can you?"
"I think it's possible!" Jiang Xinyu said seriously.
Hattori Mina glanced at him and said, "Then...do you want to hear it?"
Jiang Xinyu: "Do you want to sing now?"
Hattori Mina looked at the audience around her and said, "There are so many people... I will sing to you alone one day."
Jiang Xinyu said jokingly: "Okay, I will have to wash my ears several times when the time comes."
Hattori Mina gave him a light slap and said coquettishly: "You hate it, you are making fun of me in different ways!"
"Really, I heard that people with good voices can also sing well."
"Does my voice sound good?"
"It sounds good, as good as a nightingale."
"Make me happy again..."
Saying this made Hattori Mina feel as sweet as honey.
After the movie ended, the two of them walked slowly on the street. Hattori Mina was immersed in the plot and expressed her own opinions from time to time.
"I think Baochai is quite pitiful... Well, it would be great if Baoyu could be divided into two..."
"Love is idealized. In fact, with Baoyu's status, he can marry many people, including Xiren, Qingwen, Qin Keqing, etc."
Hattori Mina thought about it seriously and said, "In that case, Baoyu will become a playboy!"
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "A Dream of Red Mansions, one word "dream" summarizes the entire book. Don't think too much, it is just a dream of the author!"
Looking at the dark night sky, Hattori Mina sighed and said: "It would be great if everyone's dreams could come true..."
Jiang Xinyu observed the surrounding situation and said absently: "What is your dream?"
"I...do you want to know?" Hattori Mina looked at Jiang Xinyu lovingly.
Jiang Xinyu knew what she wanted to say, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Mina, do you know who plays Qingwen in the movie?"
Hattori Mina immediately became interested and asked: "Who?"
"It's Director Bu Wanchang's wife Zheng Yuru."
"how do you know?"
"Just pay more attention to the movie posters at the door."
"Is there her name on the poster? Why didn't I see it..."
The number of pedestrians on the road gradually became less and less. Hattori Mina looked around and said, "Where is this?"
Jiang Xinyu looked at the road sign and said: "Haihe Road."
Hattori Mina often wandered around the Fukusei area and was quite familiar with the area. She said in surprise: "We walked so far on one street?"
Jiang Xinyu said with concern: "Are you tired?"
Hattori Mina shook her head and said, "Even if I walk to Shirakawa, I'm not tired!"
Jiang Xinyu turned his back, took out the secret letter from his arms, and put it into his coat pocket so that he could quickly drop it into the mailbox.
"If we really have to walk to Baihe, I guess you might not be able to get out of bed tomorrow."
"No way, how about we give it a try?"
Jiang Xinyu raised his wrist and glanced at his watch and said, "Forget it for today, it's almost ten o'clock. Turn out of the intersection in front and I'll take you home."
"Why are there no street lights in front? It's so dark..."
"Afraid?"
"With you by my side, I'm not afraid of anything!" As she spoke, Hattori Mina quietly held Jiang Xinyu's hand.
A few meters away was mailbox No. 179. Jiang Xinyu wanted to take a few steps slowly and stuff the information into the mailbox.
Now being held by Hattori Mina's hand, the two of them were walking side by side. It was not easy to hide it from each other's eyes.
Walking to the mailbox, Jiang Xinyu stopped. He must put the secret letter in now. Someone will take the information away early tomorrow morning.
Seeing that Jiang Xinyu didn't leave, Hattori Mina asked: "What's wrong?"
The two held hands and looked at each other for a while. Jiang Xinyu suddenly leaned down and kissed Hattori Mina's lips, from a gentle touch at the beginning to a deep and touching kiss at the end.
Hattori Mina panicked for a few seconds and was completely lost in the gentle storm. She closed her eyes, her body trembled and allowed this man to do whatever he wanted.
This is the moment Hattori Mina has been waiting for for a long time. After such a long time together, she has long been prepared to hand herself over to Jiang Xinyu, even though they have not officially gotten married yet.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Xinyu went back and stuffed the information into the mailbox. Even if he stuffed ten letters now, Hattori Mina was still unaware.
It's the end of May, and the temperature at night is still very cold, but Mina Hattori feels like her body is on fire, as if it's a dream...
