The two looked inside the Red Pavilion, and Katoriko suddenly saw a familiar person, so she squinted and said to Zhuang Die: "No, look, the focused middle-aged man in the corner, he is a Japanese writer, writing non-fiction, she will definitely look at us." ”

Zhuang Die saw that his eagle-like eyes had a deep insight into everything around him, no matter what he saw, he always looked at it for a long time, as if he was digging into something deep, after seeing a beautiful courtesan pleasing a high-ranking officer, he blinked thoughtfully, and then moved his eyes to Katoriko and Zhuang Die.

Katoriko smiled at him, and he immediately recognized it and walked over.

"Mr. Takahashi, meet again." Katoriko said with a smile.

"Miss Katoriko is beautiful tonight."

Katoriko smiled, looked at the people around her, and said, "The young ladies here are all beautiful. ”

"Nope." Mr. Takahashi said, "I don't just mean looks. ”

Katoriko smiled even more happily.

"Huh—you brought a friend?" Mr. Takahashi asked again.

"Yes."

"Kawashima Sakurayuki, Mr. Takahashi, hello." Sakura interlocked her fingers, put them in front of her, nodded and smiled.

"Hello, my name is Takahashi Nan." Takahashi Nan frowned, "Miss Yingxue is not Chinese?" ”

Sakura shook her head.

"Then you must have lived in China for a while."

"Yes, I've been in China for more than a year."

"Oh~" Takahashi Nan nodded, "No wonder, I think Miss Sakurayuki has the temperament of both Chinese women and Japanese women." ”

Katoriko smiled, "Mr. Takahashi, it's time for you to change your goal, we're going to play." ”

"Okay, well, you don't have anything on you that I want to dig up, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Sakurayuki smiled and Takahashi then walked a few steps away, turning his attention to a drunk Chinese who suddenly broke in, and as expected, this drunkard was expelled by the Japanese soldiers on duty around him, but he still did not leave.

Katoriko said to Zhuang Die: "Mr. Takahashi's eyes are very keen, if you don't leave, if you say a few more words, you will reveal your true identity." ”

Zhuang Die nodded casually, disapproving, and then looked curiously and asked, "What is the second floor?" ”

"It's all kinds of rooms, gambling cards, sleeping, drinking...... The third floor is the office office, and idlers are not allowed to enter. Katoriko said, "The first floor is still big, let's go to the back and have a look." ”

The two of them passed through the wide corridor to a large hall, in the middle of which was a wide and low circle, with several large pillars standing at the four apexes of the circle, a finger's length high on all sides, and small tables scattered on it.

As soon as they arrived, several women crowded over first, and Katoriko only said a few words and sent them away. From time to time, a young man also came over, attracted by Zhuang Die on the side, and asked Katoriko: "This is your friend?" ”

"Yes."

"Can I have a few words with her?"

"You'll have to ask her herself."

The young man immediately turned to Zhuang Die and said with a smile: "Hello, Sasaki. ”

"Sakurayuki Kawashima."

"Please wait a minute." Katoriko pulled Sakurayuki aside and said, "His father is an ambassador to China, he is a prodigal son, willful, and it is not easy to get rid of being glued by him, but he doesn't dare to do anything to me, you have to be careful to deal with it." ”

"I see." Sakurayuki said, looking at Sasaki, who was looking at it with a slightly wicked smile.

"Then you play by yourself, I'll go see an old friend, and I'll come back to you later."

"Okay."

Katoriko walked forward, Sakurayuki stood in place, and Sasaki walked over.

"Miss Yingxue, how long have you been in China?"

"One year."

"There's champagne from France over there, would you like Miss Sakura to have a drink?"

"Okay." Zhuang Die smiled elegantly.

Sasaki's face was full of smugness, and he walked inside with Sakurayuki.

"You're extraordinary." Sasaki poured a little wine and handed it to Sakurayuki.

"Where did Mr. Sasaki see that?" Sakura Xue asked, taking a sip of wine.

"It feels completely different from other women." Sasaki stared at Sakurayuki's unfathomable, mysterious eyes.

"And how do you feel about me?"

Sasaki knew that these courtesans were very talkative, but he didn't expect her to be so straightforward, but he was a little surprised, "I already like your eyes, because she is mysteriously charming, and I am only interested in the unknown." He said in a trance.

"What else?"

"And your laughter, are you really laughing?"

"Guess what?"

"I don't like guessing, I just like the mystery, which fuels my desire to explore."

Sakurayuki raised an eyebrow and smiled, and Sasaki drank a glass of wine.

"Will you come back tomorrow night?" Sasaki asked.

"Perhaps."

"I don't want a second answer to this, you have to come."

"What if you don't come?"

"I can easily find you."

"Then you can give it a try."

"Hehe......" Sasaki said with a smile, "you can also try it, cat and mouse, once you succeed, the mouse will not have a chance to live, if I find you, you will never be able to escape." ”

Saying that, another middle-aged man came over to greet Sasaki, Sakura Xue watched from the side, this bloated middle-aged man glanced at him from time to time, his eyes were very obscene, maybe because Sasaki was here, he didn't dare to say a word to Sakurayuki, when he left, he turned his head and squinted his eyes and looked at it again.

"Who is he?" Sakura asked.

"Minister of International Trade, my father asked him to do something, and he replied, and he came to me without seeing my father." Sasaki's face was full of displeasure, and he said angrily, "Don't have long eyes, you're still here, he's here, if it's not done, I'll scold him." ”

Sakurayuki picked up the wine glass and took a sip, but Sasaki still kept talking.

Soon, Katoriko came over, Emei frowned, and looked unhappy, so he came over and pulled Sakuraki home.

"What's wrong?" Sakura asked.

"Northern Rock sent someone to spy on me." Katoriko said indignantly, "To me, doesn't he even have this little trust? I'll go back and ask him! ”

Fluttershy's mood changes with Katoriko's mood, and they are no longer interested in playing, so they say goodbye to Sasaki and go back to their respective homes.

at home

Beiyan was writing an economic commentary, suddenly, he stopped writing, took a few manuscripts next to him, and sneered and said to himself: "These people don't understand politics and economy at all, the two seem to be different, but in fact they are connected by blood, these people separate the two, even if they are long-winded, it will not help." He tore the manuscript to shreds and it was still in the garbage basket.

Zhuang Die and Katoriko parted ways and went home separately, but Katoriko could still feel someone following behind her until she returned home.

When Bei Yan heard the voice and knew that she was back, he got up to look, and as soon as he reached the door, Katoriko broke into the door, and the door that burst open almost hit Bei Yan in the face, and as soon as Katoriko opened the door, he saw him stunned by the door, and he was also startled.

"You—" Katoriko glared and couldn't speak, so she let him go inside.

Beiyan closed the door and asked in a daze, "What's wrong?" ”

"What do you mean?" Katoriko asked rhetorically.

"Me? You-" Beiyan was at a loss for what to do, and he couldn't speak.

"When did it start?"

"What are you talking about?"

Katoriko sneered: "Are you still pretending to be confused? I've seen them all. ”

"What do you see?"

"You, you're still - the more you cover it up, the more you don't admit it, the more you don't believe me, how can you do this?" Katoriko slammed the door and slammed on the floor.

Beiyan was stunned for a while, and chased him out after a long time, and Katoriko went to change his clothes and sat on the railing in a daze.

The weather at the end of September was slightly cool, and the night was accompanied by a slight cool breeze, which was even more icy and cold, and Beiyan saw that she was only wearing pajamas and sitting in the cold moonlight.

"Aren't you cold either?" Beiyan came from behind her, touched her face and was also cold, and instructed, "Go into the house." ”

Beiyan pulled her and didn't move, "No matter how cold it is, it doesn't have my heart cold." Katoriko said sadly.

Beiyan had no choice but to go into the house and get her a piece of clothing to put on, and without asking anything, he just stood beside her, leaning on the post at the end of the railing.

When the shadow of the tree was reflected on her face, Katoriko asked, "Why are you spying on me?" ”

Beiyan secretly thought that this was indeed the case, so he said, "This is not surveillance. ”

Katoriko sneered twice and said, "Eikurasuke taught you disguise and fraud, and you actually used it on me?" ”

"Not really." Beiyan said firmly.

"So what do you say this isn't surveillance? Did he just happen to be in the same place as me, all the time with his eyes on me? ”

"That's to protect you."

"It's even more ridiculous, do you know how much I hate Rong Cangsuke, he's just a clerical job, and he can't protect himself, and you still ask him to protect me? If you really want to protect me, it should be Fujita. ”

"I'm Takeshi Fujitawara."

"No, your name is Eikurasuke, and he's spying on me."

"My name is Fujita," Kitaiwa said as he looked at Katoriko in a daze, "Since you see Eikurasuke and my name is Fujita, as long as you call them, you will understand." ”

Katoriko looked at him suspiciously, Fujitawara Takeshi was nearby, and Kitaiwa shouted, and he came over.

"Ask Eikurasuke to come too."

Fujitawara Takeshi went to call Eikurasuke, and Katoriko asked solemnly, "Why are you spying on me?" ”

"On orders."

"Who?"

Both Katoriko and Kitaiwa stared at him, and he frowned deeply and replied, "Your father." ”

Katoriko was angry and happy, and looked at Beiyan in a blink of an eye.

"I don't know." Beiyan said busily.

Eikura said for a long time: "Mr. Kitawa, Miss Sugahara, my task is very heavy, you should try to cooperate; Your tasks are also heavy, so don't bother with these little things, good night. With that, he left, Beiyan and Katoriko couldn't control him at all, they hated in their hearts, but they couldn't and helplessly.

Takeshi Fujitawara was the only one left, and Katoriko asked, "Why didn't I see you?" ”

"I'm a professional, he's just an amateur."

Katoriko smiled helplessly, and Kitaiwa called Takeshi Fujitawara to go down, and said to Katoriko, "Now you don't believe me." ”

"Who knows if you didn't let him come and spy on me?"

Beiyan smiled and said, "Okay, absolutely not, I just asked him to watch around the mansion, he never went in at all, let alone let him keep an eye on you all the time, if you don't want to, he won't have to go tomorrow, it's just a big night, I'm too worried about you." ”

Katoriko felt guilty, pursed her mouth, and said, "Forget it, listen to you, so that you don't worry, but Eikurasuke, you tell him, tell him not to spy on me, no matter who it is, he can't spy on me, and my father can't either." ”

"I'll tell him." Beiyan took her hand and asked, "Can you go into the house now?" ”

"Nope." Katoriko pulled him to sit down and said, "Sit with me for a while." ”

Kitawa leaned against the pillar and sat on the railing, and Katoriko leaned against him, looking at the moon.
