Chapter 112: A Chance Encounter at the Drugstore
After tasting the best parent-child meal in his life in Ningyocho, Lou Shiyu's mood improved.
One of the biggest takeaways from her time in Japan was the discovery that the owners of the various shops on the roadside were working with a sense of self-respect. They all regard their stores as an integral part of their lives, whether they are bookstores, grocery stores, or restaurants, and they all dedicate the best service to their customers as their life credo.
It's actually very hard to do. Lou Shiyu felt that he didn't have the kind of mind to make comics purely for readers, but more to satisfy his desire to do something or give full play to his talents.
Therefore, when she saw these shopkeepers, she was moved and had some new ideas, which may not be directly applied to mystery comics, but her thinking was undoubtedly broadened.
This trip to Japan was not wrong.
Not wanting to go back to the hotel too early, she took a taxi to Omotesando.
Speaking of which, when she came to Tokyo, a shopping paradise, she hadn't done a serious shopping once.
She knew that men didn't like to go shopping with women, and it would be boring if they were troublesome, so she didn't take the initiative to ask for it. And the man, while accompanying her to eat, drink and have fun, did not take the initiative to ask if she needed to buy something. Thinking back to Shen Yi in the past, he didn't forget to bring some gifts to Aunt Mo wherever he went, he was very thoughtful in etiquette, and that heart could not be ignored.
Shen Yi, who is considerate and gentle, thinks about her everywhere, is really an unforgettable existence of Lou Shiyu.
Walking into Omotesando's largest drugstore, Lou Shiyu picked up relatively high-end brand cosmetics such as SK II and Sekkisei and came to the counter.
When she was about to take out her wallet to check out, she found that the cashier at the counter was a familiar face.
"Jian Yu!" Lou Shiyu stopped and looked at her in surprise, "Why are you in Japan?" ”
Jian Yu bit her lip, feeling quite embarrassed when she met her former employer here: "After leaving the studio, Feng Xiaoxiao didn't take me to a new place, only took Qin Feng with him. I felt that my level was not enough, so I wanted to study in Japan and work part-time to save for next year's tuition and living expenses. ”
"That's it." Lou Shiyu nodded, sensing the dissatisfied glances of the Japanese women queuing in the back of him, smiled apologetically at them, turned to Jian Yu and said, "I'll buy good things and wait for you to get off work, let's talk." What time do you get off work? ”
"It's late, it's eight o'clock in the evening." Jian Yu was not too embarrassed to let her wait for herself, after all, she took the initiative to leave at that time, how could there be any reason for the eldest lady to wait for her so late.
"It's okay, I'll find a coffee shop and wait for you, and I'll come back to you at eight o'clock." Lou Shiyu didn't want to go back to face Shen Sheng so early, and the problem between them was never resolved. She also didn't want to whitewash the peace and pretend that nothing had happened.
Lou Shiyu found a coffee shop near his home, opened the small notebook he carried with him, and recorded some random thoughts. Looking at the black uniform of the waiter in the store, Lou Shiyu suddenly remembered the appearance of Shen Yi wearing a deacon uniform and calling his eldest lady, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: If a new character, such as a deacon, was added to the reasoning comics, wouldn't it be more interesting?
Thinking of this, she suddenly had a spring of inspiration and wrote hard.
In order not to be interrupted in her train of thought, and to respect the unspoken rule in Japan that you must speak softly in public, after entering the coffee shop, Lou Shiyu turned her mobile phone on silent, so she never heard Shen Sheng's call to her.
