At that time, Gu Xing was pulling out a recliner, wearing dark sunglasses, holding Kawabata Yasunari's "Snow Country", and reading in the sun.
When the two people passed by Gu Xing, he took off his sunglasses and asked, "How was the fun?"
Satomi said: "Very good, Makoto Karasawa couldn't be more perfect."
Chiyo also agreed.
The two described in detail what they saw and heard during the picnic, and then praised Karasawa Makoto as a unique person in heaven and earth.
Gu Xing listened patiently, smiling and nodding from time to time, looking directly into Satomi's eyes with a deep gaze, as if a sharp sword was thrust into the unsuspecting water.
Satomi couldn't help being surprised, and for a moment, she even wondered if he had seen through her thoughts.
The next moment, I secretly determined that an adult who has never been in love would never be so perceptive.
"Since Chiyo is back, I will return the bookstore to you,"
Gu Xing held up the book again, "To be honest, visiting the store is nothing, but I can't get the coffee ordered by some customers. Fortunately, I still have some lust, and there have been a lot of female customers in the past few days, so the turnover has not been delayed.
.”
After hearing this, Satomi and Chiyo vomited together.
"This is what Sister Tang Ze gave to you,"
When he was about to enter the house, Satomi took out a copy of "The Actor's Secret" from her bag. On the cover was written by Karasawa Makoto's elegant handwriting - [To the always reliable Gu Xingjun]
"I told her during the picnic that the adults in my family also wanted her autographed book. Sister Tangze happened to have one in the car. You are lucky."
Gu Xing took the book and looked at the cover carefully, "Actually, I don't really want it either."
Satomi came to grab the book, "Then give it back to me!"
"Go and finish revising the last report!"
"I've changed it a long time ago!"
"The analysis part is still far behind."
"You avenge your private revenge!"
"Go and change the report quickly."
Gu Xing said, put away the recliner, and walked away quickly, leaving Satomi standing there waving her fists.
…
In the following period of time, when there was no case, Satomi always took Chiyo out together, supposedly to find Karasawa Makoto.
Does a big star like Karasawa Makoto have so much free time to meet Satomi? Of course Gu Xing didn't believe it.
Anyway, when Chiyo is away from the bookstore, Gu Xing still has to look after the store.
As a result, he learned how to prepare coffee very well. For a while, the bookstore was filled with various strong or light coffee aromas, often attracting passing customers straight in.
The girls first liked his appearance, then fell in love with his skill in mixing coffee, and then fell in love with his cool and casual temperament.
Many women often spend the whole day in the coffee bookstore, drinking the coffee he hand-blended and reading the books he personally selected.
Yes, during the time when I was looking after the store for Chiyo, girls often asked Gu Xing what books he liked to read. Later, this almost became a question that girls would ask when buying coffee. Gu Xing simply put his books
Write it out in big letters and stick it on the wall.
Soon, the book list and the wall became a must-have place for girls to check in and take photos when they came to the coffee shop.
Every time Chiyo came back from Karasawa Makoto, she would be so surprised by the bustle in the bookstore that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.
"boss,"
She said with a lot of pressure: "If you go to investigate the case, the business in the store will be much worse."
Speaking of which, Chiyo herself once had many suitors, but unfortunately she had persuaded them all to quit in a very fierce way, otherwise the store would not have been deserted for so long.
"These women are only passionate for a while,"
Gu Xing comforted her, "Sooner or later it will have to return to its original state. I won't blame you if it becomes deserted in the future - if you ask me, it would be better if this store is quieter, there is no environment for serious study."
It's a pity that the detective agency is no longer concerned with business operations.
These days, almost all the people who come to private detectives to discuss business are ordinary cases, such as investigating derailments, school bullying, looking for relatives they haven’t seen for many years, and even looking for cats and dogs. Real murder cases and strange stories must all be left to the police.
deal with.
Before, Gu Xing was happy to check out these trivial matters as a leisure activity. During this period, the bookstore was doing well and many private commissions were turned down.
"You two should find a way to make it up to me in the future." He said to Satomi and Chiyo.
In the next six months, Satomi and Chiyo talked about Karasawa Makoto in his ears more and more frequently. Why did Karasawa Makoto take them to the filming set? Karasawa Makoto was secretly writing a new book again. Karasawa Makoto was filming.
Injured, Makoto Karasawa won the National Film Academy Award, the highest award for films. Makoto Karasawa raised a very cute pure white West Highlander at home. Makoto Karasawa donated money to the welfare home all year round. Makoto Karasawa likes to drink the bitterest
Coffee, Karasawa Makoto organized a picnic again...
What the two people talked about was full of details, outlines, processes, and results, which was much better than a biography. This gave Gu Xing a clear outline of Karasawa Makoto in his mind.
In the past six months, although he had only seen Karasawa Makoto in movie theaters and news reports, it seemed as if Karasawa Makoto was living beside him. He was extremely aware of her every move. He was more aware of her schedule in the next few days than those
The most loyal fan also knows that her preferences and habits are engraved in his mind.
He even had a fairly reliable guess about Karasawa Makoto's character and thoughts in his mind.
He and she seemed to have become distant and strange close friends. Based on Satomi and Chiyo's descriptions, they established an invisible and close connection in time and space across a long distance, forming a tacit understanding that is difficult to describe and needs no explanation.
Although Gu Xing has a cold temperament and is usually taciturn, that does not mean that his mind is dull.
He clearly felt that an extremely patient hunter was eyeing him. She planned hard and joined forces to lay a dragnet waiting for him.
Just wait and see, we can't tell which one is the hunter.
