Chapter 170: The Flame of Gossip That Never Goes Out (Asking for Votes and Subscriptions!! )
When the clock strikes four times, everything in the world stops for tea in an instant.
Since the beginning of the 17th century, when tea from the Orient entered Europe along new shipping routes, a proverb has become popular in England.
This is an expression of the importance of afternoon tea.
Warm Darjeeling black tea, fragrant and refreshing; The delicate tea set is slippery like a Miaoling girl who has just taken a milk bath; Delicious snacks, melodious music....
As the eldest lady Suzuki Ayako, who has received an orthodox Western-style aristocratic etiquette education, she shows extraordinary self-cultivation at this moment.
After the silver teaspoon is slowly stirred in the cup, the edge of the teacup is tapped twice, and the "ding" sound sounds.
The little finger is cocked, and he quietly takes a sip of fragrant tea, with a dignified and relaxed demeanor, showing elegance.
It is worthy of everyone's beauty.
Sakaki nodded slightly.
Since the Black Ship Incident, he has been yearning for Europe very much, and even imitated and learned.
In their imaginations, Europe is a paradise of wonder, where the people are noble, gentlemanly, generous, and courteous.....
And then
A mental illness called Paris syndrome arose.
As the name suggests, the main patient is the person himself, and the cause is that when he traveled to Europe, Paris and other places, he found that the real Paris was too different from what they knew and imagined, which caused a mental illness.
Symptoms include: nausea, insomnia, convulsions, indescribable fear, low self-esteem, shame, doubt about life....
In severe cases, suicidal tendencies may occur.
This is due to a huge psychological gap.
To put it bluntly, it's disillusionment.
The tea is still very fragrant.
The entrance is fragrant and slightly bitter, and after being accompanied by refreshments, it can stimulate the smoothness of black tea to the greatest extent.
Sakaki put down his teacup and looked at the crowd with somewhat unnatural expressions.
The handsome long-haired guy Ota Katsu looked jealous and was very angry in his heart.
Hiroki Kakutani, a square-faced photographer, holds a camera, and the camera is always focused on him, as if the interview is in progress.
Ryoichi Takahashi, with curly hair and a chubby face.....
Always keeping his head down, he counted the microbes in the teacup, so that people couldn't see his expression.
The most interesting is the death of Barbie fan Chikako Ikeda.
She held the teacup, her eyes always wandering off Sakakikoto, occasionally licking the corners of her mouth, with a sense of seduction.
In this regard, Sakaki Makoto was indifferent.
Obviously he was just a guest, but everyone was waiting for him to speak.
"Miss Ayako, I heard that you are in a film club?"
Sakaki finally spoke up to break the deadlock.
"That's right."
Ayako Suzuki smiled and said:
"Because of the good relationship, a few of us get together like this every two years."
"I made a lot of small movies when I was in college!"
"Shhhh
Sakaki almost thought crookedly.
"Speaking of movies, Miss Ikeda is the screenwriter of the current hit movie, the cyan kingdom!"
Sonoko Suzuki said.
As soon as these words came out, Sakaki Makoto found that the atmosphere on the table had changed again.
Chikako Ikeda raised her head proudly, a snickering smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and the other three....
then the face is disdainful.
This made Sakaki a little curious.
A person's entire face has more than 40 muscles that are responsible for performing facial activities.
Most muscles, on the other hand, are not under their control.
This means that people will involuntarily reveal a lot of their true thoughts, even if they try to hide them.
After hearing about the cyan kingdom, the expressions of Ota Katsu and the others were very intriguing.....
Not jealousy, but ....
What other factors are.
"That's not easy."
Sakaki praised it tentatively.
Sure enough, the expressions of the three of Ota Katsu reappeared.
At this point, Sakaki has been able to determine that this film community is by no means as harmonious as Ayako Suzuki said.
But he wasn't nosy.
People are here to party, no matter what they think secretly, at least everyone is harmonious on the surface, and that's enough.
"Does Mr. Sakaki want to appear in a movie?"
The corners of Ikeda's mouth rose, and she said confidently:
"I can assign you a role."
Swish!
Four pairs of eyes looked at each other suddenly, three points cold, seven points dissatisfied, in short, very unkind.
"Movies?"
Under the hot gaze, Sakaki laughed dryly:
"Forget it."
"I don't want to be a star."
"But you're a star now."
Chikako Ikeda did not hesitate:
"If Mr. Sakaki can participate in my film, I believe it will be a big hit at the box office."
"I have no plans to participate, not now, and not in the future."
Sakaki's face was calm:
"If Miss Ikeda's film is short of staff, you might as well give it to your old friends."
Her expression froze, and her mood suddenly deteriorated, and Chikako Ikeda got up:
"I'm going out for a walk."
"Hey!"
Photographer Hiroki Kakutani chased after him:
"It's going to rain outside.... That's right! ”
Suddenly, he paused, turned his head, and said:
"The roof seems to be broken, Takahashi, can I ask you to fix it?"
"Wrap it up on me."
Ryoichi Takahashi, with a round face, agreed.
There was a faint sound of thunder in the sky, and after the three people were missing, the atmosphere on the table became harmonious.
"Then it's almost time for me to get ready for dinner."
Ayako Suzuki smiled and walked to the kitchen.
At this moment, a raindrop hit the window, followed by the sound of rushing rain.
"Ahh
Mao Lilan stood in front of the window and said with some regret:
"I still want to go out and see the scenery..."
"Whatever you want to do, just do it."
Behind her, the handsome long-haired guy Ota Katsu walked over:
"If you can, how about going for a walk outside with me?"
"No... It's raining outside..."
Syllable!
Katsu Ota forced Maorilan to the wall and came to a wall knock:
"A walk in the rain is romantic...."
"Let's go!"
No longer giving Mao Lilan a chance to refuse, Ota Katsu took the initiative, grabbed Mao Liran's hand, and walked towards the entrance.
"Woo.... That bastard...."
A low howl like a dog caught Sakakikoto's attention.
He looked back at dusk and saw Conan and Suzuki Sonoko biting their napkins, looking at the backs of Mao Lilan with anger.
It's like the meat was taken away.
"Chase!"
Conan and Suzuki Sonoko immediately made a decision and chased after them.
Sakaki Makoto .....
With a roll of the eye, it followed.
He wasn't interested in anything else, but he liked to see the Shura field.....
It's like peanuts when you drink wine, and it's endless!
If you don't go, it's intolerable!
The three of them walked out of the villa and into the forest on the side.
"What are you doing here?"
Conan looked at Makoto angrily.
"Ahem...."
Holding a black umbrella, Sakaki said with a smile:
"Can't I learn from the experience?"
"What experience?"
"Being green.... Oh yo yo .... Look at it! ”
Suddenly, Sakaki's eyes lit up and he pointed forward.
Conan hurriedly turned around, just in time to see....
Katsu Ota hooked Moriran's arm, and the distance got closer and closer.... Getting closer and closer....
