Chapter 327 Implementation of the Paradise Plan (2-in-1)
The reason why Takewai was so surprised was actually because...
She had been to that place before, one day twenty years ago, she had been there.
The same streets, the same stalls, the same...
"I'm fine, Aunt Kawasaki!"
Haoren didn't notice anything strange about Zhuwai and greeted the stall owner with a smile.
An aunt in her sixties named Kawasaki was walking in front of the stall, knitting some kind of leg crafts, whether it was a knot or something like that. The stall was filled with a variety of products.
There are Kokeshi dolls, Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, Lucky Neko, and other puppets and dolls, as well as some snacks, such as goldfish candies and many animal-shaped leg-shaped maltose candies.
The art of kneading maltose with legs is also called jelly work in the island country, and is similar to the traditional sugar blowers from overseas.
After the maltose is heated and softened, the maltose is quickly kneaded into various shapes with legs and tools before it cools down.
If you want different colors, just mix food coloring into the sugar.
Candy works like this appear in many festivals.
At that moment, seeing someone arriving, Aunt Kawasaki pushed up her reading glasses, looked at Haoren carefully, and then said in surprise:
"Hey, isn't that Xiao Haoren? I haven't been there for a year and a half. He thought I was admitted to university!
In the month he asked Mr. Takahashi who lives nearby to inquire about me, he found out that I seemed to have moved."
"That's right, I have moved. I haven't been able to go to school yet. He is only in his second year of high school. He has been under a lot of academic pressure that year, so he didn't have time to come over..."
Haoren explained with a smile.
In fact, more than a year ago, he would occasionally come to that street to go shopping.
But no, he inherited the bloodline of Tamamo no Mae soon after that, and from then on he rarely went out except for studying.
"It turns out that you are under a lot of academic pressure. That's right. You should study hard for further studies... Hey, that person looks familiar. Is she my... new girlfriend?"
The first time she saw Takegai, Aunt Kawasaki felt vaguely familiar, but after thinking about it she couldn't remember where she had seen her before, so she didn't pay attention.
Then she planned to ask, "Are those my relatives?"
After all, is Takewai a mature and plump beautiful woman?
But then she thought about it, Haoren's child only had a grandfather in his family and had no other relatives at all...
She glanced at Zhuwai's gesture of holding Haoren's arm affectionately again, and immediately changed her tune.
No, the change of words left Haoren speechless.
New girlfriend?
He tm…
It sounds like he has many old girlfriends.
"She doesn't deny his..."
Haoren's face twitched and he wanted to explain.
He knew that it was because he had been cruel to others since he was a child. From now on, a little lolita who was six or seven years old would pester him to play house, and when he reached his 50s, his aunt asked him if he wanted to work hard.
But who would have thought that before he could finish his words, Takegai tightened his arms and legs, and interjected with a smile:
"No, Aunt Kawasaki, he is Haoren's girlfriend, his name is Takewai..."
Haoren: "..."
"Oh, is it true? Haoren-kun, my new girlfriend is so beautiful!"
Aunt Kawasaki suddenly became happy, praised her, and then said:
"I'm very young. I want to put my studies first and don't get too obsessed with men and women!"
Zhuwai pursed his red lips and said with a smile: "Thank you for your compliment. Don't worry, Haoren will remind him whether he is a good student or not..."
"No, then he can rest assured. Hey, Miss Takewai, I know, Haoren was quite popular when he was a child..."
"Oh, no? Then Aunt Kawasaki, tell him about Haoren's childhood..."
Haoren became familiar with the two women after chatting for a few words. He and I started chatting about their own affairs, and he was immediately stunned.
It is said that three women make a scene, but two women made it difficult for him to interrupt.
Moreover, he never expected that the store manager Takegai would admit that he was his girlfriend in public, nor did he expect that the famous Barrier Goddess would actually have such a pleasant chat with a stall owner.
Helpless, Haoren, who could not interrupt, could just wait on the side.
"Keke~ I didn't expect that Haoren had so many embarrassing things when he was a child!"
"No, no, don't look at that kid who was very precocious when he was a child. He looks very sensible, but sometimes he can be stubborn!"
Half an hour later, the two girls finally chatted, and Takegai turned his eyes and chuckled:
"Haoren, where is the gift I asked you to buy for him?"
Haoren curled his lips and sighed in his heart whether the conversation was finally over.
"Aunt Kawasaki, give him some goldfish candies..."
"Is that the gift I'm talking about?"
Takegai's tone was full of surprise, but there was a hint of excitement in her eyes.
Haoren took the goldfish candy, handed it to Takewai, and said seriously:
"He knows that the store manager has experienced ups and downs and is more knowledgeable than him. He has seen almost all good things, but that stall has a special meaning to him.
When he was poor as a child, Aunt Kawasaki would often secretly stuff goldfish candies for him. I would like to know if he had never eaten candy before. After eating the goldfish candies, he felt that they were the most delicious things in the world.
.
Now, he is sharing with me the most delicious thing he ever had as a child. I won’t dislike it, store manager, right?”
After being reincarnated into that parallel world, Haoren had been particularly precocious since he was a child because of the memory of his previous life. He did not like eating sweets as much as other children when he was a child.
Although he is not a time traveler, before he was seventeen, Haoren did not have any golden legs at all, and his family conditions were not good.
But even so, there are no good people in any world. Haoren is not lucky, at least he has met many good people.
Therefore, this also developed his kind-hearted character in that life. Otherwise, after Hoshino and Nakagawa Yu were captured, there would have been another ending, the ending of the book.
"Why would you dislike it?"
Takegai chuckled, silently took a bunch of goldfish candies, handed them to his mouth, stretched out his bright red tongue and took a bite.
“Very sweet~”
In fact, it was not the first time she came there to eat goldfish candies.
To be precise, this was the second time, and the first time was twenty years ago.
While eating goldfish candy, Takewai couldn't help but recall that day twenty years ago...
…
“It tastes very good~”
Next to the stall, the young Takegai was wearing a silver-red wide-sleeved robe that could only be worn by Onmyojis from the Onmyoji Temple, and Dong was wearing a blue-gray cotton pleated skirt, holding a bunch of goldfish candies in his mouth.
, tasting it with relish.
Beside her, stood a young man in red.
"I ate his candy, so from now on, no matter what happens, he will protect me. Wherever I am from now on, whatever difficulties Yongwanzhe encounters..."
Takewai blinked his beautiful eyes and asked with a smile on his lips: "Am I very strong?"
The boy in red shook his head.
"Do I know that he is about to take the national first-level spiritual master examination? If he passes it, he will be one of the rare spiritual generals in the island country."
The boy in red continued to shake his head.
Zhuwai asked with a half-smile, "Then I dare to promise that, how can I protect him?"
The young man in red said seriously: "How about Buli? He will rush to my side when I need him most!"
Takegai smiled slightly, filled in another goldfish candy, and said as he walked: "Why?"
"Because I am very important to him. When I come to the east, I will face difficulties, be sad, and despair, but he hopes that I will persist in coming to the east and not give up..."
The boy in red looked at the starry night sky in the distance, something incomprehensible flashed through his eyes, and he whispered softly: "He will help me!"
Takewai was stunned for a moment.
To be honest, did she ask the young man in front of her with a hint of ridicule before that she had known him for a short time?
As a peerless genius in Yin Yang Liao, she has always been aloof and respected since she was sensible.
I have never met anyone like that young man.
But when the young man said those words to her, it was as if he suddenly turned into a puppy and told me seriously that he would protect me.
The boy himself was younger than her, so he gave her that feeling.
However, when he said that, his tone was so firm, and there was thunder in his calm voice, and it didn't look like he was joking at all.
"Can he understand that as a sign of favor?
Zhuwai narrowed his beautiful eyes and chuckled: "My kid is not old, but he is very thoughtful. Do I want to be his man?"
The young man did not answer that sentence.
"Forget it, because I bought him candy for my sister, he just believed me for once~"
Although he did not take it seriously, Takewai did not refuse. The boy was young and simple-minded. If he had refused at that time, he might have made the wrong person sad. It would not be good to leave any psychological trauma.
Speaking of which, she was a genius and aloof, but she had never experienced the kind of poor life that the young man mentioned, nor did she know what the young man meant by the most delicious food.
However, after eating it, she suddenly felt that what the young man said was right.
That sugar is so sweet!
Well, for the sake of me giving him such delicious food...
Zhuwai smiled, took the boy's legs and arms, and said affectionately: "Sister, I'm in a good mood tomorrow, so just go shopping with me more, let's go!"
The boy hummed and followed her through the sparse crowd and back to the street.
That night happened to be a festival. In the night, gorgeous fireworks bloomed from time to time, lighting up the originally dark night sky and also lighting up Takewai's heart.
However, she didn't know at the time that the sweetness of the gorgeous fireworks was often followed by bitterness...
"Sister Sui Li, in two months, he will leave for a while..."
"Well, where should I go?"
"a place far away……"
"A far away place? Going abroad?"
"Almost, Bu Nao, he...will...come...back..."
…
The sound gradually became smaller and smaller at the end, and the picture was discontinued.
When Zhuwai came back to his senses, his clothes were already filled with tears.
"Store manager, why did I cry suddenly?"
"No...it's okay. I suddenly thought of an old friend who has been away for a long time and hasn't come back yet..."
Zhuwai raised his eyes and glanced at the surprised Haoren, and carefully wiped his tears.
"Friends I haven't seen for a long time?"
"Well, I haven't seen you for more than ten years."
Takewai sighed.
In fact, she lied. Ruming had already seen it, on New Year's Eve half a year ago, and guessed the truth.
However, she didn't know how long she needed to wait.
Maybe tomorrow, tomorrow, or one year, two years.
Although she had been trying hard to search for the opportunity for the past six months, she still couldn't find it...
"Well, don't be sad. People have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes. Then, he can buy me another leg craft. Aunt Kawasaki's leg crafts are ranked among the best in the neighborhood. What do I want to ask for?
"
Haoren didn't know what Zhuwai was thinking, so he comforted him a little and pointed to the stall.
"I'll just pick one for him!" Takegai naturally wasn't in the mood to choose leg crafts at that time.
"Okay, let him choose one. Aunt Kawasaki, let's get him a Lucky Cat like that!"
"Lucky Cat?!"
Hearing the words "Lucky Cat", Takewai's body trembled slightly and he instantly raised his head.
"Here... that one is for me. Do I know the store manager? When he was a child, his wish was to be admitted to Tokyo University and make a lot of money. I heard that Lucky Cat makes wishes very well, so he likes Lucky Cat very much.
Moreover, Aunt Kawasaki’s work is very good and ruthless, and we women should all like it..."
What Haoren handed over was a wooden lucky cat-shaped puppet.
The puppet is beautifully made, with smiling eyes and a cat's paw stretched out next to the cat's face.
Takewai stared at the lucky cat for a while, but his heart was shocked.
Lucky cat? Make a wish?
Wait...could it be said...an opportunity...
"Haoren, he has something to do and asked to go back. I will go home alone. Remember to come back after picking up the things..."
After taking over the lucky cat puppet, for some unknown reason, Takegai suddenly asked to go back.
Although Haoren was a little confused, he did not stop him. After all, he took Zhuwai home with him, and it was very likely that she would discover the identity of Xue Ji and Fei Ju as monsters.
However, after bidding farewell to Zhuwai who left in a hurry, Haoren quickly returned home and met Xue Ji.
After explaining Xue Ji’s follow-up arrangements for the Flower and Bird Juan family, Haoren continued to give instructions:
"Xue Ji, he has been living outside for a few days, so I don't need to take care of him at home for the time being. I took Feiju to live in the rift for a few days, and Hoshino asked her to rent a house first..."
Because he was worried that the store manager Zhuwai would kill someone again, Haoren made some arrangements.
After giving the instructions, he picked up a few changes of clothes and left in a hurry.
And after Haoren left...
"What? How many days does Haoren want us to stay in the rift? Let him go back to live there?"
After listening to Haoren's words relayed by Xue Ji, Hoshino suddenly became a little unhappy.
A woman's sixth sense told Hoshino that when Haoren went out to stay for a few days, he must have stayed at a woman's house.
There is a sneaky cat!
No, there are more and more women around Haoren. We can't continue to go eastward. We must do something to make Haoren happy...
And there is an opportunity right in front of us...
"Xue Ji, let's do that. He takes a few days off and goes to live in the crevice with me..."
"Should I go too? Most of the people living there are banshees from the Nine-Tails Familia!"
Xue Ji was slightly surprised.
"A banshee is good, so do you need a banshee..."
In this way, the park plan can be implemented smoothly!
Haoren, just wait. When I come back, I will definitely experience some kind of ultimate paradise...
