Shangjing District is more prosperous and charming at night.
The searchlight of Kyoto Tower peered into the night, as if searching for direction in the deep sea.
The FalseSoul bar is full of people.
In a bustling city, the most indispensable thing is the rich, and there are several sports cars lined up at the door.
The bright lights reflected the surroundings, and the atmosphere in the entire bar was hazy. The mixture of ice cubes and wine overflowed with brilliance, and the atmosphere was charming and sinking.
Young men and women swaying on the dance floor.
Spreading something called youth.
In a booth in a relatively remote corner, Liangying Tianhai picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The so-called liqueur only had a lingering bitter taste in his mouth.
Alcohol has already had its effect on the brain, and waves of dizziness are constantly coming, and the eyes are slightly blurred under the neon lights, and the whole person feels a little gloomy.
"Tianhai, are you still thinking about that scumbag senior?"
Takagi Emi, who had her hair tied in a bun, leaned over, snatched the wine glass from Ryokage Tenkai's hand, and then asked with some hatred for iron.
"I'm just in a bad mood suddenly."
Liangying Tianhai was stunned for a moment, but he didn't pay much attention. He just thought about it and said, "Besides, senior is not a scumbag, so don't say that to me."
When Takagi Emi heard her defending that person, she could no longer show the surprised expression on her face, because starting from the afternoon, she would be refuted whenever she spoke.
But I saw that my friend was looking down now.
She was a little angry and said:
"Why are you in a bad mood all of a sudden? You have suddenly become like this since the afternoon. You were absent-minded even when watching the musical!"
Ever since she met that senior Minamoto in the afternoon, especially the famous Oyakubag Chaon, Takagi Emi knew that something was wrong.
She always thought Tianhai was dating someone else.
Because after getting to know the senior named Yorimitsu Minamoto last month, she could clearly feel that Ryokage Tenkai began to talk about that person more and more.
Mention a few words to them from one day to the next.
Later, I only talked about that senior every day.
I thought that Liangying Tianhai was already dating someone, but now it seems that it is really just a pursuit, and it is his friend who is pursuing her.
This somewhat shocked Takagi Emi.
As far as she knew, senior Yuan was indeed very handsome and relatively wealthy, and his conversation gave people a very extraordinary feeling.
Such a quality object.
Even if she had the opportunity to contact him, she would definitely pursue her without sparing any effort. She would not care about the face issues of those girls, but the point is not here.
The point is that even though Minghai had taken the initiative, the senior didn't care and went on dates with other girls. It was obvious that he didn't like her.
In her impression, Liangying Tianhai always weighs the pros and cons when dealing with men. If he doesn't take the initiative, he can still make others confused. He also adheres to the principle of not giving, let alone competing with others.
Because fighting means falling prices.
But the situation today has become very obvious.
Liangying Tianhai was jealous because that senior was dating other girls, and even now he still looks sick and looks like he is about to die.
What on earth was she thinking?
"Not really."
Liangying Tianhai said perfunctorily.
This attitude made Takagi Emi even more unhappy.
She understands each other too well.
In a situation like this, where you are clearly thinking about something but saying it is not true, you are obviously very concerned about it, but the reason why you are hiding it is because you are afraid of being embarrassed by speaking out.
Seeing her originally cool friend sinking into the kind of good girl who was about to be bullied, Takagi Emi still couldn't hold back her inner impulse and said:
"I think you are completely obsessed with that scumbag senior. He has obviously brought other women around in front of you, why are you still not awake?"
"I have no relationship with senior."
Liangying Tianhai's tone was a little lonely.
It's like saying that you have no relationship, so you have no right to be angry, and you have no right to point out other people's lives. Even if you are sad, you are asking for it.
This attitude surprised Takagi Emi even more.
But he could also see her sadness. Even though Liangying Tianhai took the wine glass again and started drinking with shaky fingers, she didn't take it back this time.
But there were some words she couldn't help but say.
"No relationship?"
Takagi Emi remembered what happened before, sat closer to her, and asked solemnly:
"Then why did you suddenly go out one night a few days ago and didn't come back until the next day?"
Seeing Ryokage Tenkai's hesitant expression, Takagi Emi looked at her carefully and said quickly:
"Don't try to lie to me. In all the time I've known you, you've never spent the night alone."
"There was just an emergency that day."
Liangying Tianhai replied somewhat vaguely.
"You put yourself...?"
Takagi Emi's eyes widened slightly.
"No."
Liangying Tianhai directly denied it.
But the more you deny it in this situation, the greater the truth of the matter becomes, at least in the eyes of outsiders. The more you evade, the more true it becomes.
Takagi Emi was stunned for a moment after hearing her answer, as if she had guessed some possibility, and finally her eyes showed disbelief:
"Didn't you say you can't do that kind of thing easily? You must leave it to your future husband. You used to say that Naoko and I didn't love ourselves every day, but why are you now..."
"It's really not what I imagined."
Liangying Tianhai frowned slightly, interrupted his friend's unfinished words, and then put his hand on his chin to drink wine, looking even more silent than before.
This tough attitude made Takagi Emi a little unsure again. She looked at her expression with surprise and uncertainty, as if she wanted to find some flaw.
But in the end I couldn't see any difference.
Her worried heart was slightly relieved, but she was still a little worried. Takagi Emi sighed:
"Regardless of whether it is true or not, Tianhai, you can't continue like this. You have changed since last month, but it is absolutely wrong for you to do this!"
In her opinion, girls should not take the initiative.
You shouldn't waste your energy on one person.
Obviously I can live a more relaxed life.
"We are about to graduate."
Ryokage Tianhai turned around and asked suddenly: "Emi, do you plan to go back to your hometown, or stay in Kyoto from now on?"
"I plan to go to Tokyo." Takagi Emi was suddenly asked a question. She was stunned for a moment and then said subconsciously.
"Tokyo?" Ryokage Tenkai looked confused: "Does Fukuhara-kun have any plans to go to Tokyo for development?"
She was talking about Fukuhara-kun.
He is the boyfriend of Takagi Emi.
The two have been dating for more than four years.
"He? What can he do in Tokyo? He's just a guy who graduated from an ordinary university. He doesn't have any skills yet, so he can only be trapped in that small club in Kyoto."
Takagi Emi sneered at her boyfriend's future, her face was full of disgust, and she seemed not to worry about what others would think of her boyfriend.
"Then why do you still want to go..." Yoshikage Tenkai paused, his face suddenly changed, and he subconsciously asked: "Do you want to break up with Fukuhara-kun?"
"Yes, I want to break up with him."
Takagi Emi's voice was decisive.
There was no hesitation or hesitation at all.
It's like I've already made up my mind.
Before Lianying Tianhai could think about it.
Takagi Emi's voice came again.
"He has a bright future and a life that he can't see in his entire life. He has to calculate for a long time even to have a good meal. From time to time, he gets angry because I ignore him. He also says it's because he loves me too much, so he wants to control me!"
"And he also said that he would work hard to let me live in a big house in the future, but I think this is just making meaningless pie for me."
"Who wants to marry such a person?"
There was no hesitation in Takagi Emi's voice, but she was full of dislike for her boyfriend and seemed to have pent-up resentment towards her boyfriend for a long time.
She didn't hide the look of boredom on her face.
It was like her boyfriend had treated her badly over the years, and she had sacrificed a lot, but the final result was very disappointing.
But the insider Liangying Tianhai didn’t think so.
"Don't Fukuhara-kun love you?"
Liangying Tianhai frowned and couldn't help but said: "He started working part-time since high school, and then gave all the money he earned to you. It can be said that he has no reservations about you."
She has known Megumi Takagi for several years.
I also know her boyfriend.
In Ryokage Tenkai's impression, Mr. Fukuhara's temper could not be said to be good, but it was definitely not bad either. He was just a little impatient when things happened.
But he is definitely very good to Takagi Emi!
In high school, Fukuhara-kun made money from his regular part-time job, and he always paid for dates with Takagi Emi. There was no so-called equal sharing.
And Takagi Emi is a typical moonlight tribe.
Even when I go to college, when my family first receives the money for living expenses, they often spend it all at the beginning of the month.
Although that Fukuhara-kun can speak a few words, he has never been stingy with money. He would rather work more jobs than let Takagi Emi take a burdensome part-time job.
Then last year, Mr. Fukuhara graduated.
After joining the job, she took the initiative to hand over her salary card, and her monthly salary was controlled by Takagi Emi. Even if she had any complaints, she could only say a few words.
Although Huimei's boyfriend is not considered rich.
But every time I see that boy waiting silently downstairs with flowers in his hands, holding an umbrella in the water on a rainy night to deliver medicine to the academy, Liangying Tianhai is still quite envious.
He is a very honest boy.
But it came to Takagi Emi's mouth.
Do you actually dislike it to the point of this?
Do honest people have to be bullied like this?
A strong feeling of discomfort suddenly welled up in her heart.
And what my friend said next.
This makes the discomfort even worse.
"Who cares about his little money?"
"The total monthly salary is only three to four hundred thousand, and it takes nearly half a year to save even to buy a bag. It's not like he changed his family's registration and identification information into my name. I have nothing to be grateful for."
?”
"To continue dating is a waste of life!"
Takagi Emi's tone was indignant. She picked up the cold wine at hand and drank it down in one gulp. She seemed to feel that her wasted youth was very worthless.
"So you want to break up?"
Liangying Tianhai asked after being silent for a moment.
"Yes, I just want to break up. I have wasted several years of my youth on him. Do I want to waste the remaining decades?"
But he also wasted his youth on you.
And it’s not just about youth.
Money, time, energy...
Liangying Tianhai suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
Your time is youth.
Then his time is not youth?
She closed her eyes in pain.
While being shocked by the unfamiliar face of her friend, she also felt worthless for Fukuhara-kun, and she even felt a little disgusted by Takagi Emi herself.
No, I don't hate her, I hate myself.
It seems that I was like this before. I regarded getting along with boys as a weighing of interests. I was selfish to the extreme but never considered anything from the perspective of others.
The effect of the alcohol wore off slightly and it lost its dizzying effect, but this made her mood even more complicated.
After a long time, she opened her eyes tiredly. The gorgeous eye shadow looked a little dull, and the light in front of her was not good-looking, but rather dazzling.
"Then are you going to Tokyo to find a job?"
she asked, rubbing her temples.
"No, I recently met a senior online. He works in a law firm in Tokyo, and his position seems to be quite high. We got along quite well, and he said he could help me arrange it."
"People on the Internet are not reliable, are they?" Liangying Tianhai suddenly felt that his friend seemed a little abnormal.
"I also feel that it's a bit unreliable, so I plan to take the Shinkansen to Tokyo this week. The senior and I have made an appointment to meet in Ginza this weekend."
"Let me tell you secretly, he looks very..." Takagi Emi said mysteriously: "I won't show you the photo."
Liangying Tianhai opened his mouth to say something, but before the words came out of his throat, a familiar voice intervened from beside him.
"What are you two talking about?"
Naoko Kahara, smelling of alcohol, got into the booth, picked up the wine on the table and took a sip. It seemed a little stuffy, so she raised her hand to fan her face.
Ryokage Tenkai's eyes flickered, and he glanced at Takagi Emi, who was lowering his head and playing with his mobile phone. He forced a smile on his face and said, "Just a casual chat."
Naoko Xianghara, whose body was a little hot, didn't pay much attention to it and just said with a smile:
"I just walked around and found that there are a lot of handsome guys today, and the drinks we ordered are also very rich. Why don't we walk over there on purpose? Maybe they will treat us to a drink, and we will save a lot of money."
"I'm just here for a few drinks."
Liangying Tianhai rejected her invitation.
"Oh, I know Tianhai that you are more passive. People always look for you. Huimei and I are not as beautiful as you, so we can only take the initiative on our own."
Naoko Xianghara, who had slightly curly hair, shrugged helplessly, and then looked next to her:
"Are you going, Emi?"
"Let's talk about going there later. This damn Fukuhara tree actually wants to quarrel with me again."
Takagi Emi, who was playing with her cell phone, suddenly threw her cell phone to the sofa angrily. Her pretty face was full of displeasure, and her rising and falling chest proved that she was in a bad mood.
"What's wrong? Fukuhara-kun knows you're here?"
"Yes, Tianhai just sent a message. Although he only took a picture of the wine glass, he must have known that we were together when he saw it. He even called me on video just now. I didn't answer him and he got angry for no reason."
"Then what should we do? You comfort him?"
"Who is going to comfort him? I have had enough of my mother-in-law and mother-in-law asking me for help every day and not letting me go here or there."
"Otherwise we should go back."
Liangying Tianhai suddenly said.
"If you don't go back, it's annoying me to death. I want to break up!"
Takagi Emi was like a dynamite keg that was ready to go. The more she was restrained, the more she couldn't stand it. She was so angry that she picked up her phone again, wondering if she was breaking up.
Her outburst made Naoko Xiangyuan feel cold and silent.
But I'm not too surprised.
It seems that this kind of thing is commonplace.
Then she picked up the wine at hand and took a sip to calm herself down. But before she put down the glass, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of her eye.
"Tianhai, isn't that Takagi-kun?"
Naoko Xianghara turned her head and whispered.
"Takagi?"
Liangying Tianhai followed her gaze and found a familiar short-haired boy at the door, holding pink flowers in his hands and looking around.
The boy looked over quickly.
At the same time, I also saw them in the corner.
His face lit up and he walked straight over.
"Your suitor is here. He must have seen the dynamic positioning. It seems that you don't have to pay today."
Naoko Xianghara looked at Yoshikage Tenkai, blinked her eyes as a reminder, and said with a smile.
At the same time, I had a good time drinking wine.
Seems quite content with not having to pay.
Then Liangying Tianhai developed a feeling of disgust.
Soon the boy with short hair came over, with a clean smile on his face, and said hello with a smile:
"What a coincidence, you are here too."
"Yes, what a coincidence."
Naoko Xianghara responded with a smile.
This kind of statement is really too false.
But no one tried to expose him.
Because it was obvious that he said it on purpose, and whoever came to the bar would buy flowers and bring them, not to mention that the other person's eyes were always on Liangying Tianhai's face.
"I see there are no tables nearby. Can I share a table with you? I can go check out later."
The short-haired boy held flowers in his arms, with a shy expression on his face, and said a little embarrassedly.
"Of course..."
Naoko Kahara was smiling and about to agree, but Ryokage Tenkai beside her refused with a cold face.
"Sorry, we don't share tables."
The smile on the short-haired boy's face stopped abruptly.
It seems that this situation was not expected.
I stood there feeling a little overwhelmed.
"Tianhai-chan..."
Naoko Xianghara looked at her in surprise.
However, Liangying Tianhai didn't notice it at all. He just stroked the blond hair beside his ear and whispered to the boy:
"Please don't call us so affectionately. You and I are not familiar with each other, Takagi-kun. Please don't disturb us."
These cold words hit the heart directly.
The short-haired boy reacted, with a panic expression on his face. He hugged the flower and said quickly:
"I know you don't like me, Tianhai-chan, but I have been holding back something for a long time. I feel like if I don't say it, I won't have a chance, so today I-"
"Naoko, Emi, I'm leaving first."
Under the dull gaze of the short-haired boy, Ryokage Tianhai picked up his bag from beside him and stood up. Without any hesitation, he passed by the boy and walked out of the bar.
Only the people with lingering expressions were left.
He didn't react until her figure disappeared.
As for Yoshikage Tenkai, who had walked to the street, his eyes were lowered at this moment, his emotions began to spread like vines, and he finally understood why he felt disgusted just now.
Treat others this way.
So this is how seniors treat themselves.
Isn’t this the suspicion we should have?
The cold wind outside made Ryokage Tenkai wrap up her clothes subconsciously, and the little alcohol that was left dissipated, and her head was no longer groggy.
Kyoto was still charming late at night, the evening wind blew her hair into a mess, and the passing vehicles trailed red taillights, leaving streaks of brilliant colors.
Liangying Tianhai stood there and hesitated for a moment.
