Chapter 12: Lifan Rendezvous
Marunouchi, where the headquarters of Sunrise Bussan is located. When the special elevator leading to the top floor slowly descended to the underground parking lot, as the elevator door slowly opened, Li Fan walked out of the elevator with brisk steps. And the driver, who had been waiting here for a long time, saw the eldest lady of the Kirishima family coming from the elevator, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then opened the door for Satoho.
"Miss, are you going back to Ginza or Azabu tonight?"
"Ginza......! Wait a minute, send me to Sakurada Gate, I want to go over there to meet a friend!"
"Hey, I see, then please get in the car first!"
With Sakurama's command, the driver immediately started the car and headed in the direction of Sakurada Gate, but in a few minutes, Sakurada Gate got out of the car. He stood on the periphery of the Imperial Palace, looking at the Metropolitan Police Department building across the road, but he couldn't help but hesitate a little.
"At this time, I don't know if Xiu Yijun is still here, if ...... If they ask me why I'm here, how do I answer?"
Li Fan looked at the building opposite hesitantly, and couldn't help but feel that he was really a little abnormal today, Lin Xiuyi already had a girlfriend, and the other party was still a rare beauty. I deliberately came to him at this time, what was it for?
"Well, just take it as a greeting between classmates, I'll just say...... Just say that he happened to be passing by here, and then ask him about his situation by the way, yes, that's it!"
After some inner entanglement, Li Fan finally found an excuse for herself, she looked at the indicator light of pedestrians passing on the side of the road, and then quickly came to the place where the Metropolitan Police Department was located across the road. After arriving here, Li Fan immediately took out his mobile phone from his pocket, found Lin Xiuyi's phone and dialed it.
With a waiting sound coming from the earpiece, the phone was quickly connected. On the other side of the phone, Lin Xiuyi's familiar and unfamiliar voice suddenly came.
"Riho-chan?"
"Hey, Xiu Yikun......! That one...... Are you still in the Metropolitan Police Department?"
"Well, I'm just going back after I finished my work? What's wrong, Riho-chan?"
"That...... I...... I had just passed by the Sakurada Gate neighborhood and suddenly remembered that you were working at the Metropolitan Police Department, so I thought I would ask if you were still here...... That one...... I don't know if Xiu Yijun has time to come out for a drink together......"
When Li Fan finished saying this, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart. Anyway, Lin Xiuyi is a person who has a girlfriend, and after finishing a day's work, people will go to Akemi even if they have time!
"yes, yes......! Where are you now? I'll come down to you now!"
To Li Fan's surprise, Lin Xiuyi actually accepted his invitation. This couldn't help but make Li Fan's mood immediately relaxed. It seems that after many years of not seeing each other, although everyone is a little rusty when they talk, the love of classmates still exists with each other, at least in the face of his invitation, Lin Xiuyi still accepted it very happily.
After putting down the phone, it was only about ten minutes before Lin Xiuyi rushed down from upstairs. Seeing Lin Xiuyi's appearance in professional clothes, Li Fan couldn't help but feel very fresh, after all, in her impression, most of Lin Xiuyi's image was still the appearance of the young man in the uniform of a famous mountain university.
"Ah~~ Xiu Yijun is really hard, and he is still working so late!"
"It's gone, because I'm going to Hokkaido to attend a relative's wedding in a few days, and I have some things that need to be arranged in advance, so I stayed in the office and dealt with it a little.
"Well, hey, there are times when you're busy like today!"
……
After the two said hello to each other, they walked together in the direction of the nearby Yurakucho for a while, and it didn't take long for the two to come to a kappo izakaya, and Li Fan, who thought he would go to the bar with Lin Xiuyi, unexpectedly followed the other party to the izakaya, which couldn't help but make Li Fan feel a little surprised.
"Satoho, beer or sake?"
"Well, let's beer! I miss it so much, I don't think I've been to an izakaya in a long time!"
"Yes, if you're abroad, you can only go to a bar if you want to drink!"
……
When Lin Xiuyi casually ordered some side dishes to accompany the wine, the two raised their wine glasses to toast each other, and took a refreshing beer into their throats, and Lin Xiuyi, who was originally a little restrained, didn't feel so rusty when he talked to Li Fan.
"I really didn't expect that Xiuyi, who joined the detective reasoning club at Mingshan University, would really become Mr....... Policeman! The reason why you went to the detective and reasoning club at that time was actually so that you could sneak out of school and go to the gas station to work!"
"I didn't expect you to remember this incident!"
"Of course, I joined the Detective Mystery Club because of you, but I didn't expect you to choose this place as an activity classroom because you were skipping school? And you would ask me to help you check on the teachers in the school every time, now that I think about it, how could I listen to you so much at that time?"
"Probably because every time we bring you some croquettes or something!"
As soon as Lin Xiu's words fell, Li Fan and him all burst out laughing. Speaking of which, Lin Xiuyi at that time was really in need of money at that time, and in order to be admitted to his ideal university, Lin Xiuyi had to go to a gas station to work to earn money for himself to go to cram school. As for the famous mountain high schools, the school only teaches basic knowledge step by step, and if you expect to rely on the school's education to take the university entrance exam, it is actually impossible.
However, the friends who skipped school with Lin Xiuyi at the beginning may not have done so in order to save money to go to cram school. Some people are just trying to earn some pocket money, but at that time, Li Fan, who was a new classmate, also unexpectedly learned their little secret because he followed Lin Xiuyi to join the small group of the detective reasoning club. Because of this, Lin Xiuyi and the others would often buy some snacks like croquettes to bribe Li Fan, at that time, Li Fan, who had almost never eaten such things, simply loved the croquettes they brought back.
