Chapter 902: Beauty Invites
"Of course...of course!"
Ning Weimin replied hesitantly, feeling a little confused.
It was as if there was a crown hanging in front of 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 seeing 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 plucked up the courage to ask again, and stared at Ning Wei eagerly people's faces.
She pursed her lips hard out of nervousness.
In her imagination, the 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 really willing to help him and is happy to be able to help him.
"I... am flattered."
Ning Weimin was absolutely sure that he was not dreaming, and that the big star was indeed inviting him.
As the saying goes, beauty is the hardest thing to accept.
He swallowed hard and hesitated for a moment, but still refused.
“Of course I am willing to treat you to dinner, but I really don’t want to accept your monetary gift. Because I also really regard you as a friend. Is it possible for friends to do such a small favor and involve Money transaction? "
But what is different from before is that even if he refused out of a man's pride, Ning Weimin has returned to his gentle and free-spirited normality.
He is no longer paranoid and 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?
You can see 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 obsessed with it?
At this moment of implementation, 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 excessive. Please forgive 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 apologize to you. "
In this way, although Matsumoto Keiko felt a little regretful that he could not let Ning Weimin accept the money as he wished, he was somewhat relieved.
Especially out of the understanding that men want to save face, I have to accommodate him.
"In this case, I won't force it. However, since we are friends, I would like to make a small request. Can you stop using honorifics to me? It's so common among friends. What a strange title."
"Well, you are talking about... No, you are talking about it."
"Call me Keiko from now on."
Matsumoto Keiko smiled slightly, very playfully.
"Ah...Okay, then I won't be polite, Miss Keiko."
"I won't be polite either. Hey, do you really want to treat me? You can do whatever you want with me. Choose a place? "
"Don't worry, I can still afford a meal, even if it's a high-end restaurant. Should we go to Ginza or Roppongi?"
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’s just a meal, no matter how expensive the food is, it’s 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 said this deliberately to save him money, or whether it was 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. . There is barbecue, 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 is there?"
"And... rice dumplings... I haven't eaten them in many years."
Matsumoto Keiko. Then he raised his head again, with a calm smile on his face, as if he was 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, it can no longer be erased.
"How many years has it been?"
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 is 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.
Looking at Keiko Matsumoto's big, mesmerizing 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 have a taste? 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. What 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 pity."
I have to say that the relationship between men and women is so wonderful. .
Once the matter was revealed, all the worries and discomfort Matsumoto Keiko had just been 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 can touch the heartstrings more than this subtle touch?
If the mask and outer shell are 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 cold and rigid dead people, reduced to insensitive machines?
Especially Ning Weimin's loving eyes in return fully fueled Matsumoto Keiko's self-confidence.
Just like fire that can burn on ice and snow.
The flames jumped in front of my eyes, and the sparks flew 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 on 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 can ultimately only come from her own charm.
Yes! When I discovered that I was also attractive in front of this young man.
Matsumoto Keiko has become a free-spirited, top-down spirit who can act coquettishly and relax, with unlimited room for imagination and play...
A little after four o'clock, Matsumoto Qingzi drove Ning Weimin towards Datian District.
The place they are going to was once called Kamata Village.
Not only is Choson Village where Matsuzaka Keiko lived as a child, but the earliest studio of Shochiku Pictures is also there.
Speaking of which, Keiko Matsuzaka's movie "March of Kamata", which became a hit in China and Japan at the same time, was actually filmed to commemorate the Shochiku Studio there.
But with the urbanization of Tokyo, everything has changed there now. In the past, Chosontun, which was once composed of tracts of dilapidated houses, drunken singing, and loud Korean dialect, has been transformed into decent commercial streets and residential areas.
The Kamata Photography Studio, which once made countless movie stars famous and was known as "the city of dreams, the city of movies, our Kamata", has basically lost its original shooting function. , it is only used as a tourist attraction to receive tourists.
This section of the road is not too short, because the destination is considered an outskirts of Tokyo, and it takes at least forty or fifty minutes to drive from the city center to there.
This is without traffic jams.
So this process on the road became the time Matsumoto Keiko and Ning Weimin needed to pass the time by chatting.
Matsumoto Keiko first found a topic and talked about the book that should be returned this time.
"That book... aren't you in a hurry?"
"What did you say?"
"It's that "The Temple of the Golden Pavilion". You lent it to me last time and promised to return it to you when we meet again. But I didn't bring it with me this time. I still want to read it some time. Is that okay?"
"Of course...it's no problem. Don't worry, just take your time and watch."
"Is it okay with the boss?"
"It's okay. Just don't worry. , if there are any books you want to read, you can tell me.”
“Not yet, I’ll note them down.”
In fact, they had a tacit understanding. No one mentioned buying it, and no one mentioned giving it away.
Of course they knew in their hearts that this book was nothing, and they all deliberately planted this foreshadowing so that their future contacts would have a reason.
It’s just that, although they are attracted to each other and have a good impression of each other, they still don’t understand each other well enough.
The resulting reserve prevented the two parties from successfully conversing on this topic.
Fortunately, looking at the constantly moving scenery outside the car window, Ning Weimin was also racking his brains to think of topics, and suddenly an idea came to him.
"After I went back last time, I couldn't help but be curious, so I asked others for your name..."
As expected, Matsumoto Keiko became interested in this topic that involved herself.
“Oh? So what?”
“You are completely regarded as a freak! Although I was mentally prepared, I didn’t expect you to be such a famous movie star. You have filmed so many movies in Japan What a famous movie! It’s such an embarrassing experience for me!”
“How can it be so exaggerated?” Matsumoto Keiko laughed at first, and then whispered, “I haven’t filmed in a long time, actually. Isn’t he already a has-been actor..."
"You are too modest. Don't you know? The rental rate of the video of you starring in the movie is very high. It is particularly popular in the store."
"Hey? Have you been to a video rental store recently? Specialized in it. Have you looked for my movie?”
Matsusaka Keiko’s voice clearly sounded happy.
"Yes, I promised you to keep it a secret. I wouldn't ask my acquaintances about you. I decided to ask the professionals directly. Unexpectedly, the owner of the video rental store looked at me like What a fool. He looked down at me in silence for at least a minute. Then he casually mentioned that there were more than a dozen movies you made. There were four or five close-up posters of you on the wall. I was speechless. Can you imagine how I felt at that time? After that, I quickly rented a few video tapes and ran away."
As soon as he said this, a picture appeared in his mind, making Matsumoto Keiko couldn't help laughing.
"I can't blame you, you are a foreigner."
But Ning Weimin took the initiative to reject this reason for "exculpation", and instead made a self-blame review,
"No , Not like that. Frankly speaking, I should feel ashamed. In fact, the movie "Kamata March" in which you starred is not only famous in Japan, but also a sensation in China. At least hundreds of millions of people became yours because of that movie. Movie fans. I still remember that when the movie was shown in Beijing a few years ago, the venue was packed and people lined up for hundreds of meters to buy tickets. Thanks to my neighbor who was a movie projectionist, I didn't have to wait in line. If so, it would be too difficult to see this movie. You don’t know how many people in Beijing are obsessed with your role as Xiao Xia. Calendars and magazines that feature your photos have become hot items. Too many people regard you as their dream lover. Anyone who has seen that movie will be jealous of the luck of that stupid boy. And Ginjiro who abandoned Xiaoxia was a fool. A few years later, I came to Japan and was lucky enough to meet the person who plays Xiao Xia. No wonder I thought you looked familiar. Unfortunately, I was still not smart enough to remember your name, let alone recognize you on the spot. Come..."
"Are there really hundreds of millions of people? I went to Kunming, China to participate in the Japanese Film Week a few years ago, and a Chinese reporter said the same thing when interviewing me. I didn't expect it. It’s actually true.”
Matsumoto Keiko couldn’t help but said in surprise, Ning Weimin’s words made her even happier.
As for Ning Weimin's fault for not recognizing her, he didn't mind at all.
“However, it’s not surprising that you didn’t recognize me. There is actually a big gap between the actor’s real appearance and the screen. The screen is all beautified by makeup artists and photographers through technology. Not to mention that The movie was filmed several years ago, and women age very quickly..."
Unexpectedly, Ning Weimin directly and resolutely denied her response.
"No, I cannot agree with this statement. Yes, you are different from your screen image. Actors are very photogenic, and it is common that they are not as beautiful as they appear on the screen. But with all due respect, I don't What comes to mind is that you are actually more beautiful than you look on screen. And I just discovered that your temperament is so changeable. I have watched five of your movies, but I think you are. Every character I have played has a unique beauty..."
Such compliments can almost be equated to words of love.
Matsuzaka Keiko suddenly felt her face heat up, and she actually felt shy from the bottom of her heart.
To be honest, although Ning Weimin is very eloquent, Matsumoto Keiko has been listening to compliments like this since he never became famous.
After becoming famous, she was almost drowned in such flattery and compliments, almost to the point where her ears were almost ringing.
Even though it is not very popular now, no works have been published for a long time.
But when people see her, they always pick up nice things to say.
So Matsumoto Keiko actually has sufficient immunity.
It cannot be said that we feel disgusted and indifferent in the face of flattery, but it is normal to be calm and indifferent.
But the problem is that the same words, spoken by different people, have different effects after all.
Just because these words came from Ning Weimin's mouth, it made Matsumoto Keiko's heart throb.
Any woman will feel happy to be recognized by someone she likes.
Especially Ning Weimin's insights into "The Temple of the Golden Pavilion" last time gave her great spiritual support.
Matsumoto Keiko was even more moved from the bottom of her heart.
“Thank you so much, I’m really touched. I had already lost confidence in my career, but thanks to your encouragement, I feel there is still a glimmer of hope.”
Matsumoto There are too many meanings in Qingzi's words, and it is impossible for Ning Weimin to understand them all.
But despite this, he is still worthy of being a skilled technician in how to make people happy.
"Why do you think so? You are obviously the best movie actor in Japan, okay? You should really go to the place where the video is rented. You will find that many people are looking forward to your new movie. Of course, you are in commercials I've also heard about the accident. However, I think it's pointless for you to worry about such bad luck, because people are very forgetful creatures, and the negative effects will disappear in the face of your absolute strength. It will only be a temporary difficulty..."
"Don't comfort me. Aren't you afraid of me at all? Many people now think that I am an unlucky person, and getting close to me may cause harm. Bad luck.”
“Are you afraid of me? How is that possible? Don’t forget, I’m a foreigner from China. What’s more, I’m lucky! God favors you. If you are really troubled by bad luck, you should get to know me earlier. With me as a friend, bad luck will naturally stay away from you. There is a saying in Beijing. Five words floating around, it doesn’t matter..."
Ning Weimin made fun of the last sentence in Beijing dialect.
At the same time, he lit the void with his hand and made an exaggerated gesture.
Matsumoto Keiko smiled broadly, but her imitation was a little worse.
“Five words... floated from the sky, this, none, no... what to say next?”
“It’s a matter of course.”
“This , It doesn’t matter.”
“Haha, that’s right, it doesn’t matter, you need to relax.”
"Well, it doesn't matter if there are five words floating in the sky. I have already learned this Beijing dialect. Now I really feel that we are friends. Otherwise you would not be so bragging..."
< br>The two of them laughed like children, and their relationship became much closer.
However, after talking about these words, it seems that I can’t find anything to talk about next.
Maybe it was because of nervousness, or maybe because of restraint. Although they were eager to continue communicating emotionally, the two of them were a little afraid of going too far.
So considering that they still had enough time together, Ning Weimin took the initiative to fall silent this time.
As the saying goes, a person who speaks is not as good as a person who knows and is silent.
Even if it is flattery, even if it is showing off, even if you want to make the woman you like happy and leave a good impression.
He also needs to be relaxed, otherwise it will be self-defeating.
Matsumoto Keiko didn’t force herself to find another topic.
Her thoughts were entirely on Ning Weimin beside her.
To be honest, she has never had such an experience.
In her private car, an almost stranger man was sitting next to her, and he could easily smell the perfume on her body.
Not only the perfume, but all the smell of her body, he could smell it.
Besides, he is nine years younger than her.
Finally, they had to turn on the radio and listen to music.
Unexpectedly, it happened to happen that the theme song "Love in the Water", the theme song of the TV series "The Flower in the Water" that became popular all over Japan a few years ago, was broadcast on the radio station.
This TV series not only stars Matsumoto Keiko, but the song is also sung by Matsumoto Keiko herself.
So Matsuzaka Keiko felt inexplicably shy and wanted to change the channel.
But Ning Weimin begged to listen for a while.
In the songs praising love, the atmosphere becomes more subtle.
