Chapter 2, the goal is correct
As she leaned closer, an overwhelming scent of perfume immediately filled the air, causing Chihara Rinto to instinctively take a step back, lightly covering his nose. He casually explained, "You must be Miss Kondo, right? Please do not misunderstand, I am not here to look for you, I am here to find ... ... "
She hurriedly advised with heartfelt sincerity: "Qianyuan, I am indeed with Mr. Ishii now, but this is not my fault. We have already ended things. Could you please not make it difficult for me like this? Can we at least preserve a beautiful memory together?"
He made an effort to recall for a while, managing to identify who this woman was from a series of incomplete memory fragments—Kondo Airi, who seemed to be "his" ex-girlfriend
Which foul-mouthed guy told him? Was it that little vixen Suzi or that little shrew Rina? Or are both of them jealous that I am about to achieve great success and want to disgust me?
He had little experience between men and women, hesitating for a moment. Seeing that Kondo Airi was looking at him with a face full of "resentment" without saying a word, he felt even more nervous. She quickly walked over and lowered her voice to continue asking: "Chihara, how did you find me? Never mind that, what brings you here?"
He had previously maintained restraint in an unfamiliar environment, but at this moment, he felt a slight sense of insult. His gaze suddenly shifted downward, coldly fixating on the hand of Airi Kondo that was reaching for money, and his expression gradually faded away. He was quite familiar with this tactic; before his time travel, he had successfully frightened off many little girls who wanted to feed him candy when he was in kindergarten.
How unfortunate; had I known that his family was going to go bankrupt, I would not have associated with him during university
This is maddening. How does he know that I work at TEB in Tokyo? The timing is so precise; I just returned from the Chitanda filming location and he came to intercept me.
Indeed, the gender, appearance, and height all match; it is undoubtedly the target
Currently, beepers are in vogue, yet they still do not alleviate the reality of poverty, which is indeed a dreadful affliction, leaving one desiring what is unattainable, and all one can do is shed a handful of bitter tears
Do you want money
Has he become a scoundrel? Otherwise, what is a useless person like him doing at the television station? This is fundamentally not a place for someone like him to be!
The handwriting was blurred as if stained with tears, yet he did not respond. That deskmate was not only not his target, but also affected his admission to the university of his dreams. He truly felt helpless—there are too many beautiful things in life, and one must make choices.
Time flows slowly, and in early December, the days grow dark early. The streetlights have come on, though it is unclear when they did, and the entrance is bustling with people coming and going.
Qian Yuan Rinto took a step back to avoid her hand, unable to help but raise an eyebrow—what do you mean by this, do you take me for a beggar
Why are you trying to block me? He dropped out of school back then, and I didn't reply to his letter, so that was the end of our relationship. Why has he come back? Is it because my charm is so great that he can't forget his old feelings, or has he heard that I got a job at a television station and am about to become famous, and now he's having bad thoughts, planning to come and entangle me?
Do not say that it is me, this stranger; even if the original owner were here, wouldn't you be looking down on people too much?
After a pause, she took out her wallet from her small shoulder bag, hesitated for a moment after pulling out two 1,000 yen bills, and then took one more, directly stuffing it into Chihara Rinto's hand. "You take this money for now. I will repay you for the things you bought for me before. Please don't make a scene here, alright? You should go back first, and I will come to find you later."
Concerning her lifelong prospects, it is of utmost importance. If murder were not a crime, she would wish to stab Chihara Rinto directly with a knife!
Strange, strange
She felt somewhat awkward, yet was puzzled inside, sensing that this "ex-boyfriend" in front of her seemed like a different person—an indescribable feeling. His appearance had not changed; he was still somewhat handsome, but his micro-expressions, body language, and gaze had all transformed, subtly creating a sense of pressure.
She is very nervous. If a scene were to unfold at the entrance of the television station, as a newcomer who has just started, even if she has a boyfriend to rely on, her reputation would undoubtedly plummet. She cannot accept this, and it might even disturb her newly established relationship. If her boyfriend gets angry and decides to break up with her, how can she participate in performances, gain fame, enjoy wealth and honor, and lead a brilliant life?
After entering junior high school, the little girl from the neighbor's house always came to him to ask about homework, but when she came, she did not study properly and always wanted to drag him out to play. He also stared at her like that, and later she cried and went home, never to return again. In high school, his deskmate expressed her feelings for him, and he similarly stared at her without saying a word. The next day, she asked the teacher to change seats, and after that, she never tried to talk to him again. Only at graduation did she ask a question in the yearbook: Why?
He greatly appreciates this talent, feeling that it is a significant asset to a perfect life—if someone truly needs help and it is within his capacity, he does not mind extending a helping hand, but the premise is that it must not affect his ability to achieve the goals he has set.
This is unreasonable; this person, apart from having been born into a good family, is clearly a useless individual. He is not worth mentioning, and there is no reason to fear him at all.
Qian Yuan Lintian was taken aback for a moment, carefully scrutinizing the woman. He noticed that she had a voluptuous figure, a beautiful face, and her hair was slightly curled. She was also wearing a white dress with a deep neckline—Japanese women have a year-round fascination with dresses, and this is no exception even as winter approaches. Moreover, this attire seems quite bold and fashionable for this era. But who is she?
Qian Yuan Rinto noticed that Kondo Airi had become more honest, and only then did he prepare to clarify things with this "paranoid" patient. However, he caught a glimpse of security guard Maekawa, who was half out of the security room, conversing with a short-haired woman and pointing in his direction, as if the target had emerged.
Immediately, he no longer paid attention to Airi Kondo, as the urgency of the matter was not high and could be discussed later. He headed straight for the main entrance, greeting from a distance: "Miss Murakami, hello, may I take up a bit of your time?"
Kondo Airi inexplicably felt as if the air had slightly solidified, and her hand holding the money involuntarily began to retract, no longer daring to force it into his hand.
Qian Yuan Rinto felt that the time was about right, yet he had not waited for the person he was looking for. Feeling uneasy, he wanted to confirm the time, but he had no watch, as he had sold it to treat someone to a meal (in order to gather intelligence), and he also had no mobile phone. At that time, mobile phones had just transitioned from being bulky to flip models, which were extremely expensive, and he could not afford one.
Isn't it considered a breakup? What attitude should one adopt to face it?
Why does she want to greet? If they have broken up, wouldn't it be better to pretend not to know each other when they meet?
When a person like him stares at someone with a blank expression on his face, it inevitably makes that person feel anxious and uneasy, which is quite remarkable, especially effective on women. By relying on this tactic, he saved a considerable amount of time throughout his life, avoiding any trivial troubles, successfully achieving his goal of getting into the university he desired, and only then did he unexpectedly encounter the first person who made his heart flutter.
He was just about to ask the group of security guards at the front, but when he looked up, he saw a white-collar beauty preparing to enter the door. The white-collar beauty also noticed him, stopped in her tracks, and stared at him in surprise for a moment, then asked in astonishment: "Qianyuan, why are you here? How did you know I was here?"
Is it the ex-girlfriend? After the original owner was expelled from school, it seems he wrote her more than ten letters in a row, but she never replied, which indicates that the breakup is final, right? However, in the "suicide note" left by the original owner, he still expresses the desire to succeed and then seek her out again. Is there some kind of agreement?
Kondo Airi became more anxious and interrupted him, exclaiming: "Are you here to see Ishii-san?"
