Chapter Twenty-Eight: Aralei
The Keiko Aoyama in front of her is exactly the same as the cute little girl in the photo, with a big face, big eyes, long hair, and a petite figure, but this dress is really beyond everyone's expectations, with a sunhat, big glasses, bib pants, and sneakers.
Seeing Tang Ning's stunned look, Keiko Aoyama looked very proud, sat down opposite Tang Ning by herself, and said, "What? Look stupid, huh? ”
Tang Ning slowed down for a while before he recovered from the time travel, and replied with a smile: "It's not stupid, I'm curious where you got this dress?" I don't think I can buy it in Japan today. And I was shocked that your family was able to let you wear it! ”
Keiko Aoyama ignored Tang Ning and said to the waiter: "Give me a cup of coffee, no sugar, thank you!" ”
After sending the waiter away, she turned to Downing and said, "This is what I bought when I was in school in Switzerland, and it is my favorite set of clothes, but unfortunately my family does not allow me to wear it." I also heard that there were only two of us in today's meeting, so I secretly left my clothes at a nearby friend's house yesterday, and I just changed them after my father left. ”
After a pause, she continued: "Speaking of which, you are a very strange person, you have obviously agreed to get married, but you still have to meet before marriage, or there are only two people meeting, just now I was obviously shocked by my dress, but I didn't have a disgusting look at all." Are you Americans like this? ”
Tang Ning smiled: "I don't know what about the other Americans, but I like your outfit very much, it suits you very well, but this is not the first time I've seen this outfit, I've seen it before, by the way, I'll give you a suggestion, if you add a pair of small white wings on both sides of your hat, the effect will be better." ”
Keiko Aoyama said in surprise: "Hey, your idea is very good, why didn't I think of it, I'll change it when I go back." Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and said angrily: "Hmph, don't try to please me with this, tell you, I hate this kind of political marriage the most, even if my father and the whole family agree to you, you don't want me to really marry you." I'm here today to make it clear to you that I can have a wedding with you, but after the wedding, I'm going back to Switzerland that afternoon, and you are not allowed to come to me or let me go, or I'll die for you, and you won't be able to cooperate with our family. ”
Keiko's words surprised Tang Ning very much, but her strong reaction aroused Tang Ning's interest: "It's really hard to imagine that there is a deviant Japanese woman like you, I'm really curious about how your family cultivated you?" ”
Keiko tilted her head and replied disdainfully: "Don't put me with those ignorant and ignorant women, I grew up in Switzerland since I was a child, and I received an authentic new education, if the whole family didn't force me this time, I wouldn't have come back to marry you, but I also know that you don't really want to marry me, our marriage is just a front, so we'd better not bother each other, you do your business in Japan, and I'll go back to Switzerland to live my life." That's where there really is no war. ”
Downing knew that Keiko was right, that during World War II, there were only five truly neutral countries: Switzerland, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, and Turkey. If this Keiko Aoyama is really like she said, she has lived in Switzerland since she was a child, then it is not outrageous that she has this kind of temperament and thinking, it seems that Junichi Aoyama really pays attention to the cultivation of talents and foreign trade, and even sent his own daughter to Switzerland.
Although Keiko Aoyama's words are very disrespectful, Tang Ning's interest and affection for her have greatly increased, this is not to say how cheap Tang Ning is, but he himself is a person who came from the era of freedom of marriage and love, and he is very disgusted with this kind of arranged marriage and political marriage, if it wasn't for the help this time, he would never agree to this marriage, but he would never fall in love with a wife in such a marriage from the bottom of his heart, and although Keiko's words and deeds in front of him are deviant, But this kind of open and free thinking and very intimate dress made Tang Ning feel good, and the idea of chasing this girl also rose in his heart.
So he said with a smile while stirring the coffee: "I can agree to your conditions, but you must also agree to my conditions." ”
Keiko's eyes widened curiously and asked, "What other conditions do you have?" I've promised to marry you, and I've already suffered a lot. ”
Tang Ning said naturally: "Since you have agreed to marry me, then you have to fulfill your responsibilities as a wife, I can allow you to go to Switzerland, but you must accompany me in Japan for a year before you can go." ”
I don't know what Keiko thought, so she blushed and whispered: "Didn't my father prepare two beauties for you, and besides, I'm not your favorite type, why do you have to let me accompany you." ”
Tang Ning laughed and said: "You little girl, what are you thinking about, who said that if you accompany you, you must go to bed, of course, if you take the initiative, I will not refuse." ”
Keiko waved her small fist angrily and said, "Hmph, you're beautiful!" Come on, then how do you let me accompany you? ”
Tang Ning smiled mysteriously: "I won't tell you now, you will know when the time comes." ”
In the chat process after that, although Tang Ning was deliberately making Keiko happy, he himself felt very comfortable, because he hadn't chatted in such a relaxed way for a long time, which made him somewhat find some shadows of his previous life. The more the two chatted, the happier they became, and finally Tangning took Keiko to the Army Co-op to buy things, and it was interesting that Keiko was not interested in stockings, lipstick, and chocolate like other Japanese women, but liked those strange things very much, and Tangning did not stop her, and helped her buy a lot of gadgets, which sent her to her friend's house.
Keiko, who came out of a friend's house, changed into a traditional Japanese woman's kimono, and suddenly the whole person became much more gentle and virtuous, but the eccentricity in her eyes was still like that, Tang Ning patted her head as if she was playful, and was hated by Keiko with a small fist to retaliate twice, and suddenly the whole gentle and virtuous appearance disappeared without a trace.
Despite this, when Downing sent Keiko home, Keiko was a little reluctant to leave this different American, her husband for the rest of her life.
