Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Trip to Kyoto

After a while, Kazumi Watanabe called and told Lin Hai a phone number.

Lin Hai called over and found out that it was Kanda Rimito's mother.

Explain the situation and make a request for a visit.

Kanda's mother said, "In that case, you can go directly to her school to find her, and you don't have to pay a visit." ”

Lin Hai saw that the other party had a cold attitude and did not insist, so he asked her for Kanda's school address.

Hanging up the phone, Lin Hai asked Hikaru Utada: "Accompany me to Kyoto?"

Hikaru Utada nodded.

Lin Hai then said to Oshima Xiaomei: "I try to come back in the evening, but it is estimated that it will be late, you eat on time, don't wait for me." ”

Akimi Oshima originally wanted to say, "I'll go with you too", but the words came to her mouth and swallowed back, and she changed her words: "Call me if you have something to remember." ”

……

After Lin Hai and Hikaru Utada left, HYDE said to Akimi Oshima courteously: "Aren't you in a hurry to leave, let's have a meal together?"

Oshima Xiaomei asked unhappily: "You told Lin Hai about me going to pick up tuna, right?"

"What?" said HYDE, pretending to be confused.

"Less garlic, I didn't mention it to anyone except for telling you that I drank too much the day before yesterday!"

"Do you remember what you said after drinking too much?"

"Nonsense, who am I?"

"Okay, okay, I'll admit, I told him. ”

"Why?"

"First of all, I want to make a statement, it was he who first noticed that something was wrong and took the initiative to ask me. HYDE took a glass of water for Akimi Oshima and said, "Personally, I don't want you to do that kind of work." Actually, I can ......."

"When did you become so generous?"

Akimi Oshima interrupted HYDE and waved her hand, "We are friends, so I won't borrow money from you." ”

HYDE SMILED WRYLY, "WHAT KIND OF WEIRD LOGIC ARE YOU?"

"Let's be honest, I don't want to owe you a favor. Oshima Xiaomei said frankly: "With Lin Hai's character, I borrowed money from you, which means that he also owes you a favor, do you understand what I mean?"

"You're so optimistic about him?"

"Of course. ”

"Then ......" HYDE hesitated for a moment and asked, "How about comparing to HIDE's seniors?"

Akimi Oshima was silent.

After a few moments, she stood up and walked out of the store without saying a word.

HYDE looked at Akimi Oshima's back and muttered, "Sure enough, I still can't put it down......"

……

From Tokyo to Kyoto, the shinkansen takes just over two hours, with the only downside being that it is expensive, costing more than 10,000 yen per person.

Lin Hai cheekily asked Utada Hikaru to pay for a ticket and get a pair of hygienic eyes.

"That's all I'm worth. ”

Hikaru Utada opened his handbag and showed it to Lin Hai, and there were only more than 4,000 yen inside.

Lin Hai was surprised: "You are actually poorer than me?"

"What do you think, if not...... Forget it. ”

Lin Hai took out his wallet, and Hikaru Utada grabbed it and rummaged through it, and found that it was only in his early five thousands.

"Are you embarrassed to think I'm poor?"

Utada Hikaru looked at Lin Hai with disdain and said, "What should I do? The money of the two of us combined, it's not enough to buy a ticket." No, you asked me to accompany you, didn't it just to buy me a ticket?"

Lin Hai nodded, making Hikaru Utada itch with hatred.

Resisting the urge to bite, Hikaru Utada asked again, "Why don't you call Sister Xiaomei with you?"

Lin Hai had no choice but to tell her about Xiaomei Oshima's situation, and repeatedly told her not to say it.

"My mouth is very strict!"

Hikaru Utada protested dissatisfiedly, and said enviously: "Sister Xiaomei is so good to you. Then he asked angrily: "Isn't HYDE rich, why don't you borrow it from him?"

"Not everyone can borrow money. Lin Hai shook his head and said: "As artists, we especially need to pay attention to it, once we owe favors, it will be difficult to pay it back." ”

Hikaru Utada instantly understood: "I forgot that you haven't joined the brokerage company yet......"

"This is only one aspect, in short, it is better not to owe favors, or not to owe them casually. ”

Hikaru Utada nodded repeatedly, and then his face suddenly turned red.

She feigned composure and asked, "So it doesn't matter if you owe me?"

"We're friends, I'm sure you won't cheat me. ”

"That's not good. Hikaru Utada turned around and snorted, and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will rely on you in the future?"

Waited for a while, didn't wait for an answer.

Hikaru Utada turned around and found Lin Haizheng looking into the distance with an excited expression.

"What's wrong?"

"Shhhhh......h......h

……

Kyoko Fukada, dressed as an agent, was queuing in front of the manual ticket gate to buy a ticket, when she suddenly heard a "hey" sound behind her.

Kyoko shuddered in fright, turned around with her arms folded, and found Lin Hai and Mitsuru Utada looking at her with a smile on their faces.

"Ah, Haisan, why are you here? And Hikki too. ”

Hikaru Utada knocked Kyoko's head with his handbag and asked dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean 'and Hikki are also there'?"

Kyoko hugged her head and said aggrievedly: "I just didn't see you at a glance......"

"You, you, you, are you saying I'm short?" Hikaru Utada jumped to his feet, knocking harder.

Lin Hai looked at Sa Huan's two bear children, and his eyes were bent.

Hikaru Utada noticed Lin Hai's expression, immediately changed his position, hugged Kyoko's arm, and said to her, "You have to be careful of this fox, he is hitting your wallet!"

"Huh, the fox?"

Kyoko looked at Lin Hai and couldn't help nodding and said, "Hai Sang really looks like a fox when he laughs." ”

Lin Hai was embarrassed, and said to Xiong Guang angrily: "You still have the face to say about me, you yourself are not the same?"

After speaking, he didn't give Xiong Guang a chance to refute, and asked Kyoko directly: "Where are you going?"

"What about you guys who went to Kyoto to shoot CM (TV commercials)?"

"Coincidentally, we're going to Kyoto too. ”

"Really, that's great!"

"Shhh Lin Hai looked left and right and asked, "Where is your agent?"

"Mr. Takano doesn't have time, so let me go by myself. ”

Hikaru Utada said dissatisfiedly: "Your agent is really unreliable! I'm not afraid that you will be abducted?"

"Don't say that, Mr. Takano is usually very responsible. ”

Lin Hai coughed and said to Kyoko, "In that case, how about we make you a bodyguard?"

"Okay!"

Kyoko nodded happily, then frowned and said, "It's a bodyguard or something, it's too ugly." ”

Hikaru Utada asked, "Then what do you think it should be called?"

"Hmm......"

Kyoko tilted her head and thought about it, pointed at Lin Hai and said, "Mr. Knight."

Then he pointed at Hikaru Utada - "Miss maid." ”

"You wait!" Utada Hikaru pointed at Lin Hai and jumped to his feet, "Why is he a knight and I am a maid?"

"Because I'm the queen. ”

Kyoko Fukada said as a matter of course.

……

The queen is not short of money, and happily bought tickets for the two attendants.

While waiting for the bus in the waiting room, Hikaru Utada was still complaining, saying that he would never accept the maid's setting, Lin Hai looked at Kyoko who was beaten all over his head, and felt that this was probably the most aggrieved queen in life.

Just as he was about to persuade the two to stop arguing, Hikaru Utada's mouth suddenly stopped.

Lin Hai looked at her strangely and found that she seemed to be under a immobilization spell, and her whole body froze.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Hai asked, followed her line of sight, and found a woman sitting on the chair directly opposite.

The woman was flipping through a magazine. She was well-dressed, wearing large sunglasses and a thick makeup on her face, but even so, it was difficult to hide the traces of time.

It's a middle-aged woman, no, maybe an old woman.

Lin Hai looked at the small half of the woman's face, and always felt very familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Ah, Wada-senpai!"

Kyoko beside her exclaimed, stood up suddenly, and stepped forward to salute the other party.

The old woman looked up at Kyoko, her gaze returned to the magazine, and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

Kyoko looked left and right, and saw that she didn't attract the attention of the people around her, so she took off her sunglasses, bowed again, and said, "Wada-senpai, I'm Kyoko Fukada, and I've seen you in the office." ”

"Oh, it's you, I remember. ”

There was a smile on the corner of the old woman's mouth, and there was only a hint of it.

"Wada...... Wada ......"

Lin Hai thought about this surname in his head, and suddenly it was like a lightning bolt.

He couldn't help but look at Hikaru Utada, and finally understood why the other party had such a reaction.

At this moment, I don't know what Kyoko said, the old woman looked over.

The moment she saw Hikaru Utada, the smile on the old woman's face disappeared in an instant, she stood up, walked unhurriedly in front of Hikaru Utada, and looked indifferently through her sunglasses.

Hikaru Utada came back to his senses and asked unceremoniously, "What do you think I'm doing?"

"Heh......" The old woman laughed contemptuously, and said, "You are really worthy of being a mother and daughter, and you are very similar to ...... in terms of lack of upbringing."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away.

"You!"

Hikaru Utada pointed at the other party angrily, eager to scold, but after all, he didn't care about the occasion and put his hand down.

Kyoko Fukada was completely confused, she leaned over and asked cautiously, "What's the matter?"

Lin Hai rewarded her with a brain collapse and said, "Don't ask. ”

"It's fine. ”

Hikaru Utada pulled Kyoko Fukada to sit down and explained in a low voice.

……

The old woman just now is named Akiko Wada.

Akiko Wada, a Japanese-Korean, was born in Osaka in 1950 and is a veteran singer.

Akiko Wada has a high status in the Japanese singing industry.

For example, Akiko Wada has been a guest of honor at the Red and White Song Club for many years.

The Red and White Song Festival is an annual singing evening held by the Japan Broadcasting Association (NHK) to represent the highest level in Japan, which is equivalent to the Spring Festival Gala in China. Being invited to appear in the Red and White Song Club is a rare opportunity for every singer.

So how many times has Akiko Wada starred?

Answer: As of Lin Hai's crossing, she has appeared a total of 39 times, of which from 1986 to 2015 has not fallen every year.

If you have to take a female singer in China as an analogy, it is probably &*#, &Β₯@ι‚£δΈͺηΊ§εˆ«δΊ†ε§......
