In Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, a man and a woman stand at the end of the street of Ginza in Yanaka and look at each other, and there are many lights in the distance, but it is as silent as the bottom of a lake.

The veil-like clouds completely covered the moonlight.

The streetlights emit a bright light, resisting the darkness that wants to invade everything, but it is haunted by mist-like flying insects.

Takitanizawa and Ishikawa Satomi were silent in a remote corner of the lively shopping street, and there was no superfluous expression on each other's faces, such a stiff atmosphere and the choice of location, if there were pedestrians passing by, it was hard not to think that this was something that happened while shopping The young couple is in a cold war, and they definitely don't want to get involved.

In fact, it's not too much the same.

Compared with Takitanazawa, who has a solemn face, although Satomi Ishikawa's beautiful and demure face in the past is expressionless, the hands hanging next to his waist have a faint white strength of his fingertips, deeply embedded in his palms, and even tremble slightly.

And in those seemingly calm pupils, there was a hint of horror in the depths that was forcibly concealed.

"Ishikawa-san, after thinking about it these days, I found that I like you, and that's what I want to tell you."

Takitanizawa repeated the sentence in a calm voice, just as the gentle night breeze was blowing, and the glow of the pure white moonlight between the gaps in the clouds was also reflected on his face.

It seems to confirm the sincerity of his feelings.

Looking at the blessed face in her eyes, and the tone of voice that was exactly what she expected, this made Ishikawa Satomi's eyes darken a little when she should have said it herself, and she forced herself to calm down, and then bit the soft flesh on the inside of her mouth to keep herself awake.

But the trembling right hand still exposed her inner unrest, and she couldn't hide it anymore.

"What's wrong with you?" Of course, Takitanizawa also noticed the strangeness of this quasi-emperor of the tea ceremony, and knew why she had such a reaction, but he still pretended to be surprised, and asked in a slightly concerned tone.

What's wrong with me? You say what's wrong with me?

Can't your eyes see?

Also, why are you stealing my lines!?

What the hell is going on here? Why didn't the script go the way I expected it to? Why are there still people rushing to confess? What love is not love? You're even snatching the position of licking the dog with me now?

Satomi Ishikawa held back the throbbing in her heart, and while her mood was complicated, she was actually a little annoyed.

She's going crazy right now!

Ever since she spent money to hire Nanami Aoivy to test Takitana, she waited for Takiyazawa's phone call to question her as planned, but she waited for a whole week without a letter, and she almost thought that the woman in Nanami Aoteng had taken her money and had nothing to do!

The plan is always offset from the reality.

When the rod throws out the bait, you need to be patient, and if you find that you have failed to nest, you must also learn to adapt to the situation.

She never lacked that patience.

So after not getting a response for a long time, and getting repeated affirmations from Nanami Aoto, Satomi Ishikawa chose to take the initiative to lower the level.

Gather information, decide on plans, and make decisions.

Satomi Ishikawa, who has studied the basic principles of modern management, has made plans based on her knowledge of Takitanizawa and the actual situation, and it is normal for her to need to take control measures to correct deviations, even if there is a slight deviation, and she has had such an experience in the past.

But isn't it too much of a deviation now?

It's like she bought a ticket to go to Antarctica to see penguins, and when she got off the boat, she saw Syria!

Calling him over on the grounds of drunkenness may not be successful, after all, it was his own initiative, but he didn't expect him to really come, which was the first step in the plan, but she only succeeded in this step.

What happened next was something she didn't expect.

The expression of the expression that is completely different from the past, the weirdness of the behavior and demeanor, and the fleeting possessiveness of himself in the bottom of his eyes, and now the solemn and sincere confession of himself, Ishikawa Satomi is a little doubtful that she has been thinking about this all these days, and sleepwalking in the middle of the night called him to tell him all about her plan word for word.

Didn't I write this script myself!

Could it be that the current plagiarism methods have reached this level? Or is he really fine?

Satomi Ishikawa, who was in a mess, stood in place and thought for a long time, bloodshot appeared in her eyes, and after thinking for a long time to no avail, she calmed down her breathing, and her voice was a little dry and hoarse: "What does Takiya-kun mean by this?" ”

"Ishikawa-san, do you mean to refuse?"

Takitana's eyes were still calm, but there was a little more inexplicable color, and he smiled reluctantly: "I know, you definitely don't believe it when you suddenly say such things, and maybe you're still wondering if I'm acting." ”

Listening to this exactly what she wanted to say in her head, Satomi Ishikawa subconsciously breathed sluggishly, and she couldn't help but want to grab him and question.

Nothing is more sobering than pain.

Both in a physical and psychological sense.

Yesterday, I went to the nail salon and put on the fingers of the natural color nail patch, and I couldn't help but increase my strength, although I didn't look at it, but she felt the intense pain from the nerve endings to stay awake, and the nerves on the skin could also clearly feel the slight oozing blood dripping through the fingertips in the palm.

But no matter how strong the pain in her body was, it couldn't extinguish her heart that was agitated by all these changes.

"Since I showed my heart, then I'm not afraid to say something unpleasant, Ishikawa-san is green tea, and I'm not a good thing, so we both know that each other's vigilance is strong, so I want to explain."

While Takitanizawa said this, his body also took a step back, as if to keep his distance from her, so that she could have enough reason to hear clearly.

"You don't have to be in a hurry to reject me, I don't think you will agree, let alone believe it, after all, people like us, whether you or me, either party will not believe it when they say such things, after all, I am afraid that no one between you and me believes in love."

"Actually, I can't tell if I like your emotions or not, I think so, and I've looked for the reason, probably because I haven't met a person who can resonate with me for so many years, plus you are indeed beautiful, and I am also an appearance association, which I can't deny, so I have feelings that I think I have, including the last time I played with you and bullied you with a handle, it is also a natural idea in my heart, I admit, this is indeed a sense of achievement, and I also deliberately did it more radically."

"Deliberately show yourself, want to attract more attention from you, this behavior is similar to a boy deliberately showing himself in front of a girl he likes, bullying you has become my pleasure, this is something I can't control, so please forgive me, if you really don't like it, then I can only say sorry at most, because next time it will be."

If Satomi Ishikawa had heard Takitanizawa say these words a month ago, she would have absolutely no doubt that he would be classified as a group that would have given up directly.

Because if you just want to hunt.

There are many people for her to choose from.

Satomi Ishikawa would never look for someone who is so scheming and difficult to get his hands on

Don't refuse, don't take the initiative, don't take responsibility.

These are nothing more than the basic three theorems.

Fear of trouble is also the common trait of people like them, just like angel investors, investing in projects with low returns and no prospects, as long as they are not stupid, they will not choose, why not deal with those projects that can be easily made in a short period of time.

But the reason why he intersected with Takitanazawa again, and then made trouble again, was not a pastime that he met by chance, but because of the revenge of the last time.

Including the curiosity of the same kind when they met for the first time, and then they met in Koshiya Lake City later, and they joined forces to help each other once, in fact, it was not a big deal, until Ishikawa Satomi was still doing pottery at the pottery hall on a regular basis but was actively approached, she almost forgot that there was such a fellow person as Takitanazawa.

However, on that day, an unexpected event caused Satomi Ishikawa to have a slight shadow.

Japan is an extremely repressive society, like a natural hotbed of crime, the city is clean and advanced on the surface, there are countless darkness and bad deeds hidden in the gaps, the world is not as beautiful as imagined, and there are hateful bad people under the appearance of pedestrians on the streets.

Unfortunately, her mother was one of those people.

I didn't mention it in advance, but in fact, this is a secret that is not a secret, because Satomi Ishikawa has been trying to get rid of her mother since she was able to earn money from the country.

In the current intersection circle, few people know what kind of person her mother really is.

At most, I heard some bad rumors.

She never wanted to cover it up.

Secrets, if not only known to themselves, there will be a risk of leakage at any time, so Ishikawa Satomi had long expected that when she had an unsightly mother who would be known by others, she was mentally prepared.

But the problem is not here, but the rare experience of losing the initiative that day, and the contact that was coerced by Takitanizawa on the basis of reason that night.

Although she didn't lose the most important thing, and the physical contact was not too much, she was still ignited with a sense of humiliation after her self-esteem was trampled on.

Then, she couldn't swallow the breath.

Even if reason told her that for Takitana, a man who is difficult to get benefits and whose investment is completely disproportionate to the return, she should cut off contact and stop losses in time to prevent the loss of more time and energy, but Satomi Ishikawa is a woman after all, and she does not lack the sensibility that belongs to people, so there is something that follows.

The best way to retaliate against a man, on the premise of not breaking the law, is to send him to prison reasonably.

All that left was to pull his heart into the abyss.

Even if she knew that he was terrible, Ishikawa Satomi did not have the slightest fear, she liked to find a fat sheep with a lot of money to have a hearty grinding game of shaving dry wool after learning from experience, but this does not mean that she does not have the courage and bearing to deal with the same kind of people.

But things didn't go as smoothly as I thought.

Until now, the feeling of having taken all the initiative away from her, coupled with a sense of powerlessness to deal with herself with all her might, was tantamount to a blow to Satomi Ishikawa, who had been planning to be full of confidence, and cut off all her hopes, so that she was now helpless.

The summer night in June was actually not hot, but cold sweat had unconsciously broken out behind her back.

Calm, thoughtful, analytical.

If it weren't for the fact that she almost carved this proverb of her own into her bones, I am afraid that she would have lost her temper like a little girl and would have been eliminated in this game.

Satomi Ishikawa pursed her lips tightly, exhaled lightly, and then moved her hands behind her back to prevent the blood droplets oozing from her palms from being discovered, and then her eyelids drooped slightly, and she said in a cold voice: "Is Takiya-kun joking?" ”

A sentence that should have been a question had an undoubted meaning when it came out of her mouth.

"No kidding." Takitanizawa shook his head.

"I don't think you'll believe it when I say it.,Anyway, you just know it.,Out of this liking.,If Ishikawa-san has any trouble, you can tell me.,I won't necessarily help.,If it's just out of this psychology.,It's also a kind of hello to you in advance.。

"I don't have anything you can help me with."

Satomi Ishikawa's voice was even colder than it had been before.

Takitanizawa nodded, and a smile finally appeared on his calm face: "Whatever you want, I'm happy." ”

His smile was filled with relief.

It's like having a secret in my heart that I want to say but can't say, and now I pour it out without reservation, and now I'm in a very happy mood.

Satomi Ishikawa's face was even more ugly than just now, and her heart was even more blocked than just now.

And Takitanizawa seems to have remembered something.

At the end, another sentence was added:

"In addition, I said, I will eat your secrets for the rest of my life, and this sentence is valid until I hate you."

Hearing him threaten himself with this matter, Satomi Ishikawa's eyelids raised slightly, and said in a tone that was close to self-deprecation: "I'm not afraid that you will tell others the secret." ”

"That's right." Takitanizawa put away his smile.

He frowned, as if thinking about something.

It felt as if he was a little distressed because he had said the wrong thing, and he muttered for a moment before he spoke again

"Ishikawa-san is not afraid, but I will also come to bother you from time to time, if Ishikawa-san plans to abandon all your current properties in Tokyo incognito, and throw away the interpersonal relationships related to me, so that I can't find where you are, I probably won't be bothered by me."

"Why should I give up my stuff for you?"

Ishikawa Satomi laughed angrily.

Takitanizawa spread his hands, and an expression appeared that he wanted this effect: "Then it's up to you." ”

Seeing him look like that.

Satomi Ishikawa instantly knew that she had jumped into his language trap, and her pale face had begun to find it difficult to maintain her demureness, and her palms, which had been slightly relaxed, clenched again, touching the wound in the depths.

The two were silent under the street lamp for more than ten seconds.

Because he stood for too long, Takitanizawa also moved his body, and his mood seemed to have become much happier.

This made Satomi Ishikawa's mood worse.

She couldn't imagine that everything that was still going on under normal circumstances had become like this in a short period of time, and she even had the urge to turn her face, but she saw Takitanazawa looking at her serious eyes, and she was inexplicably a little surprised.

"Why do you like me?" Satomi Ishikawa didn't believe him at all, but she couldn't help but want to ask this question in her heart: "Even if I believe you mean it, Takiya-kun has to give me a reason." ”

"You're pretty."

"Just the face?"

"No, there's also figure, temperament."

"What else?"

"Say anything other than that." Takitanizawa put his hands in his pockets, and after a while, he whispered, "Probably because I feel that you can understand me best, and I can understand you too." ”

He was telling the truth.

The two of them are indeed very similar.,Even the personality weaknesses can't be said to be exactly the same.,In addition to understanding their own weaknesses.,I also got the standard answer to the plan through the reproduction of the event scene.,Is there anyone in this world who understands her better than Takitanizawa.。

The answer is no, at least for now.

Originally, in order to prevent accidents, he also planned to use the voice of listening to women, which had cooled down an hour ago, on the body of this industry leader.

But now it seems that the weakness strike is too effective.

There is no need for a backup plan at all.

Ishikawa Satomi's eyes were gloomy, and she said in a quiet tone: "Takiya-kun thinks that after what happened last time, I won't hold a grudge?" Even if I believe, or even promise you, aren't you afraid that I will do something when you are unprepared, or deliberately deceive you? ”

"You can't fool me, I'm sure, as you said in the bar, no one knows you better than I do."

Takitanizawa looked at her with a smile, stared at her eyes pointedly, and said: "Although the broken mirror can't be reunited, it can be reproduced in a better form, I think this sentence makes a lot of sense, if you like me when I like you, I don't think there will be any problems left over from that gap, besides, I just like you, it doesn't mean that I want to be with you." ”

Getting this kind of answer that is obviously not perfect, and even a little macho, it stands to reason that normal women will scoff when they hear these words.

But Satomi Ishikawa was faintly touched.

With her understanding of Takitanazawa, it should be said that she understands people like them, although sincerity can no longer make the other party believe it completely, but she doesn't care about the other party's opinion and behavior, this is the real heart.

Does he really like himself?

She faltered for a moment.

But it was soon annihilated by reason.

Satomi Ishikawa's eyes were full of surprise, and she always felt that today's events were too strange.
