After getting off the plane at Narita Airport, Liangkun saw the number plate that greeted him and the stiff face of Otomo Keishi.

In the car, Keishi Otomo said to Liangkun: "Thank you for the Takahashi-gumi matter." ”

Liangkun said: "Thank you for what? Aren't we brothers? ”

Keishi Otomo said, "Yes, we are brothers. Do you have any business to do in Japan this time? ”

"I want to invest in some stocks in Japan, as well as some real estate in Tokyo." Liangkun said: "Can't I travel to Japan except for business?" ”

"I've seen a lot of Hong Kong tourists, but I think you're more like an immigrant from Chinese mainland, bent on money, only having money in your heart, and no joy in life. ”

Liangkun said: "I didn't expect you to see me like this. ”

"I just have something to say." Keishi Otomo said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with that. ”

Liangkun said: "If you say that, is there anything worth showing off to me?" ”

Keishi Otomo said, "I have a lover who left Tokyo and returned to the countryside. I simply sponsored her to open a small bar. ”

"It seems that this bar gives you a greater sense of accomplishment than the businesses you started in Kabukicho!" ”

Keishi Otomo said, "Yes, a greater sense of accomplishment. Because it's my own property, a safe haven, a secret base. ”

Liangkun said: "Since it's a secret base, why do you want to tell me? ”

Keishi Otomo said, "Aren't we brothers? ”

……

Riding the Shinkansen (Japan high-speed rail) with Keishi Otomo, Liangkun was a little surprised: "Why don't we drive over?" ”

Keishi Otomo said, "You can't drive at 200 kilometers per hour by car. ”

After sitting on the Shinkansen for four hours, listening to the sound of the radio, Keishi Otomo said, "We have arrived. ”

After getting out of the car, it was a simple-looking and good-looking woman who greeted Otomo Keishi, and after seeing Otomo Keishi, a pair of squinting eyes and smiling became a slit.

Keishi Otomo introduced Liangkun: "This is Hotaruko-chan (ちゃん), 29 years old, the proprietress of the Firefly Bar. ”

He also introduced to Hotaru: "This is Lin Huaikun Sang (さん), 23 years old, the head of the Hong Kong Hung Xing Society. ”

After Liangkun and Hotaru bowed to each other, Liangkun asked suspiciously, "Why do you have to tell your age when you introduce each other?" Shouldn't the age of a beautiful woman be a secret? ”

Listening to Liangkun's words, Hotaru looked confused.

Keishi Otomo said: "Japan has always had no taboos on age, in other words, it doesn't care much about asking about age. However, Japan has always been a very hierarchical country, and even after the Meiji Restoration and World War II, when the inequality between different classes was abolished and even the emperor returned to the world, the Japanese still tend to divide the order among all people who are equal in law and humanity. The basis of this order, and also a very universal standard, is age, the so-called seniority. To this day, the Japanese language still retains a very complete and even complex honorific system, and you need to use different honorifics for people who are in a different class than you. ”

Liangkun asked, "Isn't it over saying Ding Ning to everyone?" ”

Otomo Keishi said: "Of course not, it is very unusual for people of the same level, especially those who are close to each other, to speak Ding Ning. It may be difficult to experience that feeling, but it is a feeling that Japanese people have. ”

Liangkun asked embarrassedly: "For example, between you and me?" ”

Keishi Otomo nodded slightly and said, "Hi! ”

……

Come to the Firefly Bar.

Liangkun looked around curiously.

Otomo Keishi took out a pack of cigarettes, handed one to Liangkun, then put it in his mouth and said to Hotaru: "Hey, is there a fire?" ”

Hotaru smiled and found a lighter, lit a cigarette for Otomo Keishi, and said, "It's really time for you to come!" ”

Keishi Otomo asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Hotaru said, "It's the best time of the year. These days, let's enjoy the beautiful scenery together and eat fish together, okay? ”

It is a small seaside fishing port town, where the warm current of Tsushima and the cold current of the Kuril Islands converge, resulting in a foggy sea, and the only ice-free strait in the northern part of the Sea of Japan.

Walking out of the bar and down from the coastal road, Liangkun found a small pier and stood on the pier to watch the surrounding scenery.

Standing in front of the bar window and glancing at Liangkun from a distance, seeing that Otomo Keishi didn't speak, Hotaru said coquettishly: "If you leave here early, our fate will be broken." ”

Otomo Keishi still didn't speak, and Hotaru continued: "Promise me, will you quit smoking?" ”

Keishi Otomo finally spoke: "Don't order me! ”

may feel that he was speaking too bluntly, Otomo Keishi said again: "I know it in my own heart. ”

Hotaru hugged Otomo Keishi from behind and said, "I'm not ordering you, I just want to live a good life with you." ”

Otomo Keishi said, "Didn't I come? ”

Hotaru leaned her head on Keishi Otomo's shoulder and said, "I'll help you make good money here, and you don't have to do any work, so you don't have to go back to Tokyo, okay?" ”

Otomo Keishi said: "You are a person who talks about making money all day long, and in this fishy and smelly place, you are as stuffy as you. What can be done? ”

Hotaru let go of Otomo Keishi and said, "I won't let you be a fisherman, anyway, I'll find a way." Don't worry, life is fine. ”

……

In the evening, the fishermen who were hanging out at the Firefly Bar found that there was one more Tokyoite and a foreigner.

Liangkun discovers: Hotaru introduces Keishi Otomo to customers, claiming that Keishi Otomo is her husband.

Liangkun didn't look surprised, pretending not to understand Japanese.

When everyone was drunk, Keishi Otomo proposed: "It's so boring to listen to the radio and drink like this, let's play mahjong!" ”

Otomo's proposal was met with a group of fishermen.

So, the table was set up, and Keishi Otomo and the three fishermen played mahjong.

Playing mahjong, seven points of luck and three points of skill, Otomo Keishi's luck is very bad, playing until three or four o'clock in the morning, when he wants to go to sea, Otomo Keishi has lost 100,000 yen.

Keishi Otomo's three card partners were red-eyed, but they walked out of the Firefly Bar in high spirits, talking to each other about their night's results:

"I won 40,000 yuan."

"I won 37,000 yuan."

"I only won more than 20,000 yuan."
