Chapter 2, First Encounter of Joy.

In Osaka in October, the temperature has dropped a bit. Today is another day of cloudy skies, inevitably accompanied by a chilly wind. I only wore a thin knee-length skirt. As the wind blew, a bone-chilling coldness crept in. I gathered my wind-blown long hair, wrapped my coat tightly around me, bent down to rub my icy knees, and vowed never to do such a foolish thing of freezing beauty again.

I deeply feel that this idea is good, so I nodded in agreement: "Okay."

He was very puzzled by my question, but did not show any displeasure, instead he politely replied, "Come to my apartment."

Mother asked: "Why are you laughing so happily?"

Can I give you a suggestion? His expression was very serious.

No. I quickly wiped the corners of my mouth. Actually, I had already wiped them before opening the door, but I still couldn't help but wipe them again.

If you want to be with me, you can move in tonight, I don't mind.

Unfortunately, deeply influenced by romantic novels, I always thought that the feeling of being unable to stop was what love is.

I'm sorry, but there is no content provided for me to translate. Please provide the content you want me to translate.

It has been more than a year.

He immediately looked up: "I'm available on the weekend."

Under my mother's repeated questioning, I decided to stop avoiding and answer this question seriously: "Mom, I know he is a once-in-a-century good son-in-law, but I don't like this type of man."

Thin Ice, a beautiful name. Judging by his indifferent reaction, he probably hasn't had a chance to see the note I left for him.

I will still come.

"What a coincidence?" I couldn't help but feel excited when I heard that I was in the same research building as the handsome guy. "Which research room are you in?"

As soon as he entered, he took a deep look at the spicy chicken and dan dan noodles on my table.

How long have you been in Japan?

To be honest, I also firmly believe that Yin Zhongtian can be considered a classic candidate for a husband. He has a handsome appearance, is well-mannered, and diligent. After graduating from university, he passed the national civil service examination and was assigned to the municipal government. His future is bright, making him the epitome of an ideal son-in-law.

My name is Bo Bing," I said.

The signature is a lovely smiley face.

I felt a bit absent-minded and forgot to speak while following him up the stairs. I silently followed his footsteps to the door of the dormitory. Ye Zhengchen turned his head and glanced at me with some uncertainty, as if he was about to say something.

Shameless. Qin Xue's voice was mixed with sobs.

I said. I listened humbly.

He squinted his eyes, with a mischievous smile on his lips, revealing a kind of unruly charm in his sunny handsomeness: "If you want to come to my apartment, I don't mind."

Alas! As expected, the daily nagging has started again. I automatically blocked out the "praise and flattery" that followed and savored the delicious chocolate.

PS. My contact information: 090-1236-9832.

You're welcome. My name is Ye Zhengchen, may I know how should I address you?

I suddenly had a sense of ominous premonition.

Like this, I came to Japan to pursue my studies with the purest and most beautiful aspirations. I never imagined the hardships of being in a foreign country, nor did I anticipate meeting the person destined for me, experiencing that unforgettable love. If I had thought about it...

After dinner, I cleaned up the dishes and utensils. Ye Zhengchen helped me connect to the internet to test its stability.

Tanaka Lab.

Park the car in the designated parking space. As he stepped out of the car, I only then noticed how tall he was. The dark-colored suit perfectly showcased his tall and straight figure. As the last ray of twilight spilled down, though the light was dim, it shone so brightly on his face.

"It's been so long?" Seeing him driving such a nice car, I guessed and asked, "Are you here for work?"

Don't overthink it, he is my neighbor.

As I was about to speak, he stopped the car and pointed to the sign of the supermarket, saying "This is the business supermarket."

I know that most people who study medicine have a cleanliness obsession, but it is rare to see a man who organizes his belongings so neatly and systematically. I couldn't help but size up the person in front of me. He took off his suit and hung it in the closet, then unbuttoned the collar and cuffs of his shirt, rolling up the sleeves to his elbows. At the same time, he quickly walked to the desk, took out a piece of notepaper and a pen from the drawer, and swiftly wrote down an account number and password. His series of actions were methodical, clean, and efficient, suggesting a resolute and decisive personality.

I am studying at Osaka University.

Waiting for a distant and indefinite period, I decided to first solve the problem of food and clothing, and then come back to continue to endure the hardship. So, I took the map hand-drawn by the Indian guy in the laboratory and went to find the legendary business supermarket with good quality and low price. The Indian guy said it was very close, and I could get there in half an hour on foot, but I walked for an hour in hardship and didn't even see the shadow of the supermarket.

Senior brother, would you like to have a cup of coffee? I am asking out of courtesy.

Friend? Male or female?Mom has started gossiping again.

I simply answered, which instead made Ye Zhengchen slightly stunned, with a hint of confusion in his eyes. I didn't give him a chance to inquire or refuse, I quickly got off the car and walked into the supermarket.

I heard from your Aunt Li that the ideological concepts in foreign countries are open-minded. Many international students have been influenced, thinking that they can do whatever they want without anyone knowing. They believe that they can cohabit if they want to, and separate if they want to, without any moral values or sense of responsibility. There are also some people who have families in China but engage in promiscuous behavior outside. You must not let them deceive you.

Little Ice, why don't you want a good man like Zhong Tian? What kind of man do you want to find? Someone who looks good? That's just a pretty face with no substance. A rich young master? They can't be relied on. Little Ice, tell Mom, why don't you like Zhong Tian? What's wrong with him?

What's wrong with printing clocks? This is a question worth pondering seriously. I have pondered it carefully for a long time, but I still can't figure it out.

You know now, and it's not too late.

I tilted my head and smiled at him. Just as I was about to praise him for finally having a sense of humor, I saw him fidgeting as he stirred his coffee with a pure steel spoon, showing no signs of joking.

Through the bright and transparent glass window opposite, I saw Qin Xue running out crying, quickly disappearing at the end of the corridor. Her tears were like amber formed over thousands of years, dropping and condensing with sadness.

Seeing the childlike expression on his face, I couldn't help but laugh and say, "I'm busy this weekend, I need to go to the lab to culture cells."

Thank you for your trouble, senior brother. Just as I turned around to leave, I saw Qin Xue's figure through the window. I turned my head to look at Ye Zhengchen's thoughtful face and said, thinking that I understood him well, "I'm not in a hurry, please help me when you have time."

Ye Zhengchen? When I heard these three words, I was even more shocked. I couldn't help but look up and down at this legendary new neighbor. It seems that he just came back from a meeting. He is wearing a black tailored suit and a white shirt, looking formal and reserved, with a unique masculine charm. Judging from the luxury of his sports car, his income must be high. No wonder so many girls can't resist his charm - handsome, wealthy, and cultured. He is simply the template for the perfect male protagonist in a romance novel.

Um... Where are you going later? I asked tactfully. I really hope he goes back to the apartment so I can hitch a ride back again.

Did I laugh? Maybe.

Hello, my name is Bo Bing, and I live next door to you. It will take me some time to apply for internet access. Before that, can I share your internet with you?

I deliberately paused and looked at the fading light in his eyes, smiling and saying, "I will be free tomorrow night. What time can you come back?"

It's getting late, let's do it another day.

I sweetly smiled at him, pointed in the direction of the door with my finger, and he followed my gesture to see the neatly written Chinese characters on the note on the door.

I replied to him with a cute smiley face: "I really want to come to your apartment...to install the internet cable."

We remained silent for a while, and then he asked me, "What are you doing in Japan?"

Smells good. Are you from Sichuan?

Originally, some things, once tasted, can become addictive.

I can't hear Ye Zhengchen's response.

In pursuit of this noble and great dream, and to protect my eardrums that have been in a state of fatigue for a long time, three months ago, when I received the admission notice from the Graduate School of Medicine at Osaka University, I gritted my teeth and made up my mind to give up the opportunity of being recommended for admission and come to Japan alone to pursue my studies.

In order to seek lenient treatment, I confessed my preference for military personnel as my dream lover: "I like soldiers."

You're welcome, it's just a simple home-cooked meal.

Oh... I could hear him praising my cooking skill in a subtle way. My mouth couldn't help but curl up. "This is the most sincere compliment I've ever heard!"

This is the account and password for the wireless network. You don't need to apply for the network in the future, just use this account... He paused and asked again, "By the way, do you know how to do the initial setup?"

Between my lips, the sweetness of cocoa butter fades away, leaving a slight bitterness. I reach out for the chocolate, only to find the box empty. I can't help but swallow my saliva with difficulty.

Do you need any help? The handsome guy asked me in standard Japanese. On my first day in Japan, I already knew that Japanese people have a habit of helping strangers with directions. I quickly handed him the map with both hands and pointed to the name of the supermarket on it, asking in broken Japanese, "How do I get to this supermarket?"

Smooth and creamy cocoa butter, sweet but not greasy, melts in the mouth, leaving a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth. The sweetness spreads over the taste buds and seeps into the body, even the corners of the mouth exude happiness.

School of Medicine.

You stubborn girl, when will you let me rest assured?Mom shook her head helplessly, sat up straight, and leaned closer to the camera.

Yin Zhongtian and I can barely be considered childhood sweethearts. His father and mine worked at the same hospital, were colleagues for many years, and also good friends. Our families had a close relationship, so Yin Zhongtian and I knew each other from a very young age. In my fragmented childhood memories, Yin Zhongtian, who is four years older than me, always sat under the old elm tree at the street corner reading. The sunlight filtered through the delicate elm leaves and fell on his face, reflecting the most serene smile, a smile suffused with the refreshing breeze. I was often lured by this refreshing feeling, holding a fairy tale book and sitting next to him, reading with great interest.

I returned to the room, walked into the bathroom to wash my hands, and suddenly heard Qin Xue's questioning voice from the next door: "Ye Zhengchen, what do you mean by this?"

He remained silent for a long time, until the coffee turned cold. Then he smiled at me gently and said, "Then I will be your older brother from now on."

I called it "saving the declining medical industry" to my father. My father, who has been a doctor for half of his life, was deeply moved and took out all the savings he had accumulated for over twenty years, saying, "Go, study hard over there, and take good care of yourself."

However, no matter how much helplessness and sorrow there are in being a military wife, I just love it. Just the thought of that dark green military uniform, that upright figure, and that strong sense of restraint, makes my heart flutter. Occasionally, I imagine the scene of helping my future husband take off his military uniform, unbuttoning it one by one, and my mouth starts to water, wishing a soldier would appear immediately so I could rush up and unbutton it for him.

The chocolate my friend gave me is delicious.

His smile does have a bit of a playboy vibe, but his eyes are still clear and pure, like an actor wearing a mask, no matter how exaggerated the makeup on his face, it can't hide his true nature in his eyes. Ye Zhengchen's expression and eyes make me feel quite interesting, and I can't help but be curious for a moment, wanting to tease him: "Sure!"

I came back earlier than you, so I'll go buy groceries. You can come back and have dinner.

No, I really like you, the kind of liking that one has for an older brother.

In order not to delay the reunion after a short separation, we briefly exchanged our feelings of parting. I simply exchanged a few words with Qin Xue and then avoided further conversation.

I love Sichuan cuisine the most. Unfortunately, Japanese people can't handle spicy food, so it's difficult to find authentic Sichuan cuisine in Japan. Every time I go back to China, I have to eat Sichuan food for several days in a row before I'm willing to come back.

The reason why fate is powerful is because it always sets up unreasonable twists at the most opportune moments, and you have no right to protest. The twist between me and Yin Zhongtian happened six months ago.

Here is quite far from the supermarket, let me drive you there.

Ye Zhengchen finally spoke, his voice was low and resolute: "Yes. I spent the night with Tanaka Hiroko last night, and I have been sleeping in the same bed with her every night during my stay in Tokyo. Are you satisfied?"

I tentatively asked, "Are you in a hurry? Can you wait for me for three minutes?"

What is "设置什么?" Can't you just enter your account and password? Um, does Japan's campus network have encryption?

Next comes a lengthy discourse, give me a detailed explanation, point by point, of what is wrong with marrying a soldier who has no personal freedom.

This is also the most sincere praise I have ever given.

As soon as I heard this question, I knew I was computer illiterate. He probably couldn't be bothered to explain too much to me, and just said, "I'll just do it for you."

As I entered Ye Zhengchen's room, my eyes suddenly lit up. The light green curtains hung straight down to the floor, blocking the entire floor-to-ceiling window. The slanting sunlight shone through, casting a refreshing new green throughout the room. The bedding on the bed was also light green, with no folds, neatly spread out. Besides a laptop and several medical books, there was nothing on the desk. I casually glanced at the bathroom, where his toiletries were neatly placed next to the sink.

Medical? I am also from the medical department of Osaka University.

I don't understand why Qin Xue would like such a man. Is it because of the fleeting moment of Utmost Bliss?

Outside the door, there was a handsome guy waiting. I didn't dare to delay for a second. I quickly bought the noodles and eggs, and when I came out and checked the time, it was exactly three minutes. He was indeed still waiting for me, but his eyes were different from the initial indifference, with a few more concentration and contemplation.

The handsome guy spoke a bunch of Japanese in a fast pace, but I couldn't understand it due to my poor listening skills. In order to save face in front of the handsome guy, I switched to English, which I thought I could still manage, and asked, "I'm sorry, can you speak English?"

Rest assured, it's already good enough if I don't deceive others.

Dad was moved to tears.

Her voice is not loud, but because it is sharp, it has an exceptionally strong penetrating power. Coincidentally, this early Japanese building was constructed with lightweight materials for the purpose of minimizing casualties during earthquakes. As a result, the sound insulation effect of the building and walls is quite poor, and the small restroom amplifies sound even more.

The handsome guy looked me up and down, with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes. It seemed that he couldn't speak English, which disappointed me. Just as I was about to reach out and take the map back from his hand, I unexpectedly heard him speak in fluent Mandarin: "Get on the car, I'll take you there."

On that day, with a gentle breeze brushing the willows and the scorching sun shining brightly, Yin Zhongtian invited me to the smallest capital city coffee shop in Nanzhou. He ordered me the most expensive coffee I have ever had in my life. Inside the romantic and elegant coffee shop, Yin Zhongtian, dressed in a sharp suit, fell into contemplation, while I pondered why the excruciatingly bitter Blue Mountain coffee didn't come with some creamer and sugar. Suddenly, Yin Zhongtian told me that he had liked me for a long time and asked if I could be his girlfriend. I laughed at that moment.

After reading the note, Ye Zhengchen looked at me and smiled. His smile was very captivating, with the corners of his mouth lifted and his narrow eyes half-closed, carrying a deep and mysterious meaning that was hard to fathom.

At the time when I was in dire straits, a dazzling sports car suddenly braked beside me. The window rolled down, revealing a face even more dazzling than the car itself. With a straight nose and sharply defined features, the face exuded a cold and stern aura, yet the narrow eyes shimmered with a gentle and humble light. For a moment, I was so captivated that I completely forgot where I was.

Just arrived two weeks ago, how about you?

Fasten your seatbelt. He reminded me very carefully.

The enthusiastic handsome guy in front of me is actually Chinese. I was pleasantly surprised to feel like meeting an old friend in a foreign land. I happily got into the car and repeatedly said in Chinese, "Thank you! Thank you!"

Thank you!

I stare with wide eyes every day, waiting for a man who will make me fall in love at first sight, give my heart away at second sight, live and die for him, and be willing to suffer any hardship for him without regret. However, five years of college have passed, and my true love is still on his way to find me. I don't know when he will arrive, and my youth has been spent enduring my mother's nagging. Even when I escaped to Japan, I couldn't escape it. I'm starting to regret using Ye Zhengchen's network today. However, five years of college have passed, and my true love is still on his way to find me. I don't know when he will arrive, and my youth has been spent enduring my mother's nagging. Even when I escaped to Japan, I couldn't escape it.

Although he is steady, he is not taciturn. He understood my refusal as soon as he saw my expression.

As soon as I saw the change in his gaze and his silence, I immediately took out a brand new set of tableware from the cupboard, washed it clean, and placed it on the table. He glanced at the tableware, realizing that I sincerely wanted him to stay, and without any hesitation, he sat down in the vacant seat opposite me.

"Soldiers?" Upon hearing this, my mother shook her head repeatedly and said, "Soldiers have no personal freedom. Once a military order is given, they must obey unconditionally... How can they take care of you?"

In my memory, Indrojit is always tall and big, always the big brother I need to look up to.

I spent some time feeling sad for Qin Xue's injury in spring and autumn. Suddenly, I felt very hungry and realized that I should eat. I took out the leftover spicy chicken from the refrigerator and heated it up. Then, I cooked a bowl of spicy Dan Dan noodles. Just as I sat down and took a few bites, the doorbell rang. It only rang once, and the person waited quietly, showing their cultivation and patience.

I am in the Fujii Laboratory, my research lab is just downstairs from you.

He only thought for a second and answered, "Seven o'clock, I'll go buy groceries."

His smile deepened, and he gallantly helped me open the door, saying, "Please come in."

Well, Nanzhou, Sichuan. You haven't had dinner yet, have you? Why don't we sit down and have a meal together?

I got in the car, and he didn't ask anything. He started the car and drove towards the apartment directly. In less than ten minutes, we arrived at our apartment. It can be seen that the popularity of luxury sports cars in the world has some rationality and is not purely for showing off wealth.

I never thought about the hardships of being in a foreign country, never thought I would meet the person destined for me, and then experience that irresistible love. If I had thought about it, I would still come.

I hugged his neck and gave him a kiss: "Dad, you truly are my dear father."

Next time, cook a little more noodles.

Thank you! After Ye Zhengchen left, I sat in front of the computer, chatting with my mother via video call while eating freshly made Leonidas chocolate from Belgium.

After the shocking moment as if struck by lightning, I quickly withdrew my smile and said, "Brother, don't tease me."

Since that day, he has never mentioned liking me again. He still cares for me and loves me, but my mother is not so easy to deal with. She complains all day long that I shouldn't have refused the man she had in mind for me.

No.

Oh. The time is indeed late, I won't insincerely detain you. "I'll see you off."

Well, then I'll go later. Ye Zhengchen said as he walked me to the door. Just as Qin Xue was about to ring the doorbell, she saw me coming out and looked at Ye Zhengchen in surprise.

What type do you like?

You! You...

Oh? He turned his face and glanced at me, "Which college are you from?"

Standing at the crossroads, looking at the unfamiliar streets and pedestrians, I couldn't help but sigh deeply: "If only I had studied world geography well back then!"

After hearing so many rumors, I became even more curious about Ye Zhengchen. The next evening, I knocked on the door next door with hope in my heart, but still no one answered. The note I left on the door was still there. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "Ah! Handsome guy, can you come back earlier? My life is so dull without the internet!"

You little girl, are you playing with me?

Xiaobing, why aren't you answering when Mommy asks you a question?

Yè Zhèngchén was sent to the door. Just as I was about to close the door, he suddenly said, "Thank you for the dinner."

Hearing this sentence, I almost couldn't catch my breath. The man went out fooling around and got caught by his girlfriend, what a tragedy!

I nodded repeatedly, afraid that if I was even a little late, he would regret it.

He glanced at the name-brand watch on his wrist, the diamond's brilliance was dazzling. He wondered if wearing this kind of watch for a long time would affect his eyesight.

This is Ye Zhengchen, whom I met on the first day. He is a typical playboy, changing his mind frequently. Yesterday, he showered you with affectionate words and sweet talk; today, he may be in bed with another woman, making false promises. You don't need to blame or hate him because he has never hidden his despicable nature. He made it clear that he can only offer you today, without any future or commitment. If you choose him, you should know what kind of ending awaits.

My friend also told me so, so I specially brought a suitcase of seasonings before I came. I also brought authentic hot pot base, so whenever you are free, I will treat you to a spicy hot pot.

Oh. I just fastened my seatbelt, and he stepped on the accelerator, the car swiftly changed direction and drove towards the road we came from.

Have you never liked me all these years?

Zhong Tian came today and asked how you are doing over there. You've been in Japan for so long, why didn't you give him a call or tell him your contact information? Zhong Tian is such a good kid, why don't you know how to cherish him...

I carefully checked the map, no wonder I couldn't find it. It turns out the Indian guy's map was drawn in the wrong direction.

He handed the chocolate to me and said he bought it during a business trip to Tokyo and gave it to me as a gift. I knew it was a local custom to bring back famous food from the place you visited to share with everyone as a way of showing care. However, I was not sure if he originally intended to give this gift to another woman.

You don't see me, you don't even answer my calls... You're obviously avoiding me! Qin Xue's voice raised by two decibels again.

Don't think that I don't know, you came back last night, and you came back with Professor Tanaka's daughter. Last night, you were with her, right?

The handsome guy glanced at me again, his gaze deep and profound, as if he wanted to see through me. I felt a bit at a loss under his gaze and smiled, bowing to him and saying, "Senior brother, please take care of me in the future."

I opened the door and saw Ye Zhengchen standing outside holding a beautifully packaged box of chocolates. He politely said, "Hello, I hope I'm not disturbing you?"
