Rinko, who was sitting inside, noticed that Uikawa and Hisaki were chatting. Yi Chuan also noticed it, waved his hand lightly, and when Rinko came over, he said with a smile on his face: "Today is so beautiful, you will be the most eye-catching as soon as you enter the venue." Yichuan usually sighs to himself that he is shy by nature and doesn't know how to please women, but today it is completely different. I just heard him talk about the inside story of the calligraphy world. As soon as Jiu Mu changed the subject, Rinko seemed to be very concerned. What's the inside story?

Of course it has nothing to do with you. Yi Chuan was shaking his head in denial when a middle-aged man who looked like a reporter handed Rinko a business card, and the photographer behind him stepped forward and turned on the spotlight. Maybe it's because of Rinko's quiet beauty that she didn't win the best award but was treated like a celebrity? Jiu Mu took a step back and was watching, Yi Chuan asked, "Wait, is there any arrangement?" I couldn't answer for a while, I just murmured a little, Uikawa immediately understood, don't force it, you two should have a good drink tonight to celebrate.

Yi Chuan showed his empathetic side and said: Her family didn't come today? Jiu Mu was also thinking about this, and looked around the venue again, but heard Yi Chuan say: You are really bold, what if her husband comes? Hisaki only came because Rinko wanted him to come, but he refrained from saying so. The bold one turned out to be her!Yichuan half-jokingly said: There won't be a real beauty contest. Yi Chuan himself had an interesting idea, but seeing Jiu Mu not agreeing, he also felt a little bored, so he dawdled for about ten minutes before saying excuse me, and went back first.

Jiu Mu placed an order again, but the reception was at its climax. Rinko returned to chat and laugh with the participants near the main table, or take pictures with her companions.Jiu Mu followed her closely, remembering what Yi Chuan said about him being bold just now. His tone seemed to be sarcasm for Jiumu, and it wasn't that her husband came to the reception, but Jiumu thought that he had never heard that her husband was coming, and even if he did come, since the two men had never met before, there would be no problems. Jiu Mu comforted himself like this, continued to drink beer, and after confirming that the reception had started for more than 30 minutes, he left the venue and went to the lobby on the first floor, turned into the coffee shop where he had arranged to wait for her, sat on the wall and ordered a glass coffee.

It may be the relationship of the weekend, there are many men and women who have just attended the wedding banquet. When the coffee was served soon, Jiu Mu looked at his watch again, and it was past half past six.Judging from this, it will probably be nine o'clock when we arrive in Hakone. He was thinking while drinking coffee, flipping through the notepad for a while as if trying to hide his idleness, when he was lighting his second cigarette, Rinko appeared in the hall. After exchanging pleasantries with an older woman, she walked over here carrying a large paper bag. Sorry to keep you waiting, let's go!

Rinko seemed to be concerned about the eyes of others, and she wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. The two walked directly through the hall and went down to the underground parking lot. After getting into the car, Rinko was relieved and regained her usual calm expression and said in a low voice: I'm sorry to force you to come. Nothing, it's also fun to take the opportunity to see a different world. Hisaki started the engine and asked: Shall we just go directly to Hakone? Wait a minute and there will be small-scale gatherings, and I have already said hello in advance that I will not participate.

Is it convenient for you to just wear this suit? Rinko was still wearing the kimono she wore at the reception. I brought a change of clothes, let's change over there. As soon as the car got out of the parking lot of the hotel, it was immediately surrounded by the neon lights of Akasaka. You are so beautiful today, I just now know why you are popular. Nothing like that.Rinko turned her head to look out the window in embarrassment, and took out the compact to touch up her makeup. Many people want to ask you out, right? Even when someone asks me out, I'm always with the group. However, those teachers and elders seem to be more male.

Those teachers are all grandpas, no one is as reckless as you. But as long as it's a man, it's okay We are all gentlemen, don't worry. The car drove towards the entrance of Xiaguan Expressway, from where we will get on the Capital Expressway later.Hisaki looked at the flashing sign light in front of him and said: Yi Chuan said we are bold! Why? He said what if your husband also comes? he won't come. He has something to go out tonight? No, anyway, if he said he couldn't come, he wouldn't come.Rinko's tone was firm, without any doubts. The car drove on the expressway from Shibuya to Yoga, then turned into the Tomei Expressway and went straight to Gotemba.

Jiu Mu stepped on the accelerator and asked again: Does he know that there will be an award ceremony? At this time, Jiu Mu omitted the pronoun "your husband" as usual. Even if he knew, it had nothing to do with him.Rinko looked directly at Feiguang Liucai in front of her and replied. Didn't you say you want to come? no, he didn't say anything What about tonight? I told him that I went out with people from the Calligraphy Club But didn't he find it strange that he didn't go back all night? Maybe! Hearing the unexpected answer, Jiu Mu held the steering wheel and asked again: Then you are not worried?

It's not that he's not worried, anyway, he's the kind of person who won't pursue it. Hisaki still can't understand the relationship between their husband and wife. He will always be suspicious, right? He has a strong self-esteem, and he doesn't want to know what he hates. If he investigates and finds out the truth, he may lose face. But if you care There are many kinds of men. Some people want to know everything, while others are like him, who are afraid that they will be ashamed and hurt if they find out. but never forever yes!He is uncomfortable, and I am also uncomfortable.Rinko stared straight into the distance, thoughtful.

Although it was a weekend night, there were surprisingly few vehicles driving on the descending expressway. After the car turned into the Tomei Expressway through Hekou, the highway turned into three lanes, and the speed of the vehicle increased greatly.The colorful lights and shadows of the metropolis receded quickly, replaced by silent apartments and dark trees flashing away outside the car window. Regarding the matter of Rinko and his wife, what can Jiu Mu think more about?Speaking of which, he was the chief culprit for stealing other people's wives, and it was unreasonable to think about the husband wearing a cuckold. Hisaki changed his mood, and the topic returned to calligraphy. Can you really calm down when you hold the pen to the paper? Even if you feel unhappy, you can naturally concentrate and forget everything when you are grinding the ink, and you will be quite calm when you are writing. Jiu Mu hasn't seen Rinko's appearance when she writes calligraphy, but she can imagine the dignified beauty of her grinding ink and holding the pen against the paper. Can the writer's character also be shown? Of course, don't you speak like a person? Indeed, people who write neatly seem to have a strict personality. What about when you're in love? Some people say that at that time, the handwriting is particularly charming. What about your work this time? It's a pity that I don't have that coquettishness, because I deliberately suppressed myself not to write that feeling. Can it be done? There is only one word, or like this time only four words, I don't think it can be seen. What Rinko wrote this time was the words Shen Shi Jing Zhong. I can't tell if it's coquettish, but it feels very natural and stretched. I'm so glad you said that. But I hope you write cautiously! What's the meaning? Discreet at first, promiscuous later. Don't say such nonsense! Rinko glared at him, but Rinko at night would indeed become unimaginably lewd from her initial reservedness.In pursuit of her incredible transformation, the car sped along the Tomei Expressway at night.
