In a 100-yen second-hand store in Edo.
"Spoil! Pick whatever you want! Whatever you want, I can buy it for you!" Jiang Cheng patted his chest and said to Yue Yong, who was standing behind him outside the store door.
However, just after he finished speaking, Jiang Chengcheng noticed something was wrong, because Yue Yong looked a little strange, with his head lowered and no expression on his face, and he remained silent.
"Well..." Jiang Cheng, who thought of something, quickly explained, "Yueyue, you know, all my money was spent on games or taken away by Kagura. Such a store is already at its limit! But, gifts This kind of thing has no distinction between high and low! I have always thought so! Take your pick, everything here only costs one hundred yuan! For the sake of you buying me this 20,000 yuan game, I I can let you choose two things! This is the limit!”
After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, there was another silence for more than half a minute.
"Well," Jiang Cheng quickly said with an apologetic smile, "It's really the limit... Can you say something? I'm a little scared of you like this."
"Hmm..." Yue Yong's voice sounded like a mosquito, and then she mechanically stepped into the door of the store with hands and feet.
"Have you recently become obsessed with idol groups that perform mechanical dances?" Jiang Cheng complained expressionlessly.
"Guest, how about this?" The smooth-talking store manager, who is in his fifties and is about to become a boomerang, is missing one of his front teeth. He holds up a milky white chopstick and says, "This is the highlight of this 100-yen store. The treasure of the store—engagement chopsticks…hairpin.”
"Hey, did you just say chopsticks? You obviously said chopsticks! It must be hard to change your words temporarily!" Jiang Cheng complained wildly with his eyes white.
"To be able to fall in love with this engagement hairpin... this young lady really has a good eye for chopsticks. It has a great background." The boss, who was wearing reading glasses, forced the chopsticks into Yue Yong's hand.
"Hey, why did you change it back?" Jiang Cheng complained with his eyes white, "Speaking of which, what are engagement chopsticks? I've never heard of such a thing! And aren't chopsticks always made in pairs? Why are there only these? One!"
"There is a reason for this," the shop owner sighed, shook his head and explained in a deep voice, "This chopstick was once used by Toyotomi Hideyoshi to warm Nobunaga's feet in the cold winter. In order to create a chopstick that can heat Straw sandal microwave, chopsticks for eating hot pot on a winter morning. And the other chopstick has been thrown away because it fell into the hot pot."
"There's absolutely no connection at all! By the way, why do you eat hot pot in the morning? Why a microwave?" Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes and shouted, "By the way, with hot pot, there's no need to warm Nobunaga's feet anymore, right? Just treat him to hot pot, right? Better? Your whole body will feel warm after eating it!"
"Ah, actually I remembered it wrong," the store manager pushed up the glasses on his face and continued, "This chopstick is actually from the Battle of Red Cliff when Zhuge Liang and others were admiring the burning ships in the river on the shore. Listening to the cries for help from Cao Cao’s soldiers, while eating hot pot with the chopsticks he used.”
"Don't think that making up such a story will increase its value! It's just a useless chopstick! And there's only one!"
"Anyway, we have a discount right now. You can get this engagement chopstick for only one thousand yuan." The shop owner ignored Jiang Cheng's words and continued on his own, "If you add another hundred yuan, I will personally put the other chopsticks in the hot pot." Pick up a chopstick, rinse it and give it to you."
"Were you the one who dropped the chopsticks into the hot pot?!" Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes and complained angrily, "Are these chopsticks just the chopsticks you use to eat hot pot?! Isn't it a 100-yen store? Why do you want a pair of chopsticks? Thousand yuan? Do you think I'm an idiot?! Give me a discount, just two fifty yuan!"
"Guest, you are bargaining too hard. You can give me a 50% discount at most." The store owner replied, "But you are only responsible for fishing it out, and you will not be given a free rinsing service."
"Ten yuan, please clean it with disinfectant!" Jiang Cheng said sternly.
"Three hundred yuan! Give me a pair of... no, Nobunaga's worn-out straw sandals!" The shop owner didn't give in at all.
"Five yuan! Flush those straw sandals of yours down the toilet! Now!"
"One hundred yuan! That's the limit! You can give me at most another piece of antique crotch cloth that I...Cao Cao has not replaced for thirty years!"
"I don't want the crotch cloth. Fifty yen is my final bottom line!" Jiang Cheng's expression became solemn, "Otherwise we... will go to the next one. As far as I know, you are not the only one who has 100 yen stores in Edo. Oh~"
"You kid!" the shop owner frowned, with a look of unbearable expression on his face, "I can't help it, you even talked about this, okay!"
…
At four o'clock in the afternoon, on the way back to Yoshihara.
"Um, is it really okay?" Jiang Cheng asked Yue Yong, who lowered his head and remained silent. "The dirty chopsticks used by the smelly old man, even if they have been disinfected, are still full of old smell. Really?" Is that okay? If you don’t like it, you can throw it away. You might contract some virus if you use those chopsticks.”
"But...but...it's okay." Yue Yong lowered her head and replied quietly.
"Well, wait for me for a moment," Jiang Cheng, who suddenly noticed something, stopped and turned around and walked to the other side, "I'll be back soon."
Three minutes later, Jiang Cheng, holding a piece of octopus balls in his hand, came to Yue Yong's side and casually handed the lunch box in his hand to Yue Yong.
"Eat it, it will be considered compensation just now." Jiang Cheng said casually.
"Oh... um." Yue Yong took the lunch box from Jiang Cheng's hand, and then asked in a low voice, "How... how... how... how is it?"
"What?" Jiang Cheng looked at Yue Yong in confusion.
"Chopsticks... no, how about hairpins?"
At this time, Jiang Chengcai discovered that Yue Yong had tied the two chopsticks on his head as hairpins.
"Very good." Jiang Cheng responded casually.
[Appointment...date! This is a date! ] Yue Yong lowered her head and thought to herself as she walked, [This is the date that Rilun mentioned when having breakfast today! Men and women go shopping together, give each other gifts, and eat together! Next is...watching movies, and...]
Thinking of this, Yue Yong raised her head and looked at Jiang Cheng in disbelief, [This man... what happened today? ! Does he...really...really want to do that with me? ! How to do how to do? ! What should be done in this situation? !]
"Oh! There is a re-screening of "Transformers" part one and two today! Watching both parts together only costs 150 yuan and comes with popcorn and a large Coke!" Suddenly I saw a poster posted by an old movie theater on the roadside. Jiang Cheng was instantly attracted, then turned around and shouted excitedly, "Yueyue! Can I go back later today? Can I watch this?!"
[Go back later... later! This man, today...does he really have that kind of plan today? ! ] Yue Yong's pupils shrank suddenly and she looked at Jiang Cheng in disbelief.
"Okay." Yue Yong responded lightly, but in her heart, she had a different scene, "It's okay! Am I an idiot? ! Why did you say that? I'm obviously not ready yet!]
…
This dilapidated cinema only had one screening room, and it was very old. The staff... there was no one except for the little gangster leaning on the window at the door who was chewing gum and selling tickets and seemed to have no enthusiasm or courtesy.
The floor of the screening room was also covered with all kinds of random garbage, and there were even a few useless people who could be called garbage, sleeping soundly on the seats.
"Hey, little brother, you guys come to watch a movie too!" Hasegawa said hello to Jiang Cheng, holding a wine bottle.
"The guy who gave me a drink last time, Sasi ignored him." Uncle Musashi, who was also sitting on a certain seat and holding a bottle of wine, shouted drunkenly to Jiang Cheng.
"Um..." Jiang Cheng, who sat down at a certain seat with a Coke and popcorn, asked Yue Yong expressionlessly. "Why did you come with me? Do you... also like robots?"
"Hmm... um." Yue Yong, who was completely immersed in her own world, lowered her head and responded with a twist.
"Really?! Do you also like robots?!" Jiang Cheng said in surprise, "I never showed it before! Then, just keep quiet and watch the movie! The first two are my favorites! "
"Hmm..." Yue Yong, who couldn't hear what Jiang Cheng was saying at all, responded again.
…
At ten o'clock in the evening, Jiang Cheng walked out of the cinema wiping away tears, followed by Yue Yong who lowered his head and said nothing.
"So...so touching!" Jiang Cheng shouted with tears, "Even in such a dirty and disgusting movie theater, it is still so touching! Romantic! The huge transforming robot is always there Men's romance! Yueyue, you understand, right?! If you also like robots, you should understand, right?!"
"Uh... um." Yue Yong responded again.
"Well, I feel like something is wrong with you today." Jiang Cheng asked doubtfully, "There are very few surprises today. Is it really okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Do you want to take a little rest before going back?"
[rest! This is it! Nichi Lun said it this morning! Men usually use this reason to trick women into that place during dates, and then proceed to the next step! ] Yue Yong thought to herself, [Oops! This situation...]
"Then... take a little rest..." Yue Yong lowered her head and whispered back.
[What am I talking about! If you do that kind of thing with this kind of man, it will be over! Not only... but even life is over! ] Yue Yong cursed herself in her heart for not living up to expectations.
"You...couldn't you be...the one here?" Jiang Cheng came closer, holding his chin and looking at Yue Yong's face in confusion.
[Is this...a confirmation of what kind? ! I always thought this man was...a vegetarian, but turned out to be a carnivore? ! The situation has become increasingly passive. If this continues, he may really take the initiative! no! I... want to fight back! At least, I want to take the final initiative!]
"Yueyue?"
"I'm fine, but you, you won't suddenly fall asleep or something, right?" Yue Yong glanced at Jiang Cheng lightly and said coldly.
"Huh? Why do I have to sleep over? Today is not the middle of the month." Jiang Cheng showed a strange expression on his face.
[Parry! This man...can't be underestimated! In other words, this man thought he had the initiative all day long, so he could naturally take the initiative until the end! horrible! This man is really scary! I have never discovered that he has such a side before! Was it hidden by him? ! But, I can't lose! Absolutely can't lose! The best coping strategy at this time is...]
"Don't think too much, I'm just worried that Nite, who stays in the room and plays games every day, can't keep up with his physical strength." Yue Yong pinched the cigarette rod and turned away with a look of disdain.
"Huh?! Who are you looking down on? Do you think I'll get tired after walking a few steps? I'm not a kid." Jiang Cheng folded his hands and snorted, saying unhappily.
[Not giving in even an inch! ! ] Yue Yong felt bad all over, thinking in her heart, [This man...]
"Why didn't you talk again?" Jiang Cheng asked doubtfully, "Ah, no, you are really weird today. What's wrong with you? Are you upset with me? Are you upset that I bought you such a gift in return? It has nothing to do with me, right? If you didn't like it, you said it at the time, and didn't I compensate you? Isn't that little ball just compensation? Why..."
[Well, forget it, facing such a man, I can't stand it at all... Now that things have happened, there is only one way... ]
Thinking about it, Yue Yong took out several kunai from her body, and before Jiang Cheng could react, she stabbed them all into Jiang Cheng's head.
"Okay, that's enough. Your condition is really not good today." As she said that, Yue Yong dragged Jiang Cheng, who was lying on the ground with his eyes rolled and his body still twitching, by the collar, and started walking towards Walk in the direction of Yoshihara.
"Did I...did something bad?" Jiang Cheng, who was already unconscious, murmured, "Why...why do you treat me like this..."
…
Early the next morning, Yoshihara.
Jiang Cheng, with his head wrapped in thick bandages, sat at the dining table and stared at Yue Yong opposite him.
"Hey, can you explain to me now? Why did you do that to me yesterday? I passed out directly due to excessive blood loss."
"It's just that you're unhappy." Yue Yong, who was chewing slowly, replied calmly.
In an instant, several blue veins popped up on Jiang Cheng's face, "Huh?! What do you mean unhappy?! I'm unhappy too! I'm also unhappy when someone stabs my head with holes all over it! Do you want to fight?! Bastard !ah!"
"Be quiet while you eat, you loser Nite who is in bad shape."
"Although I don't know what it means, I do feel the contempt in your words..." The veins on Jiang Cheng's forehead seemed to burst out, "Hey, stinky woman, I will never tolerate you again today..."
Before Jiang Cheng could finish speaking, several more kunai were hit on his forehead.
"I'm full." After saying softly, Yue Yong stood up and pulled up the back collar of Jiang Cheng, who was lying on the table and rolling his eyes because of the kunai, turned around and walked towards the door, "We Went on patrol."
"They...are like this every day, every day." Haruta pouted and complained silently.
"Yes, but maybe for the child, this way of getting along is more accustomed to him. Of course. It must be the same for the man."
Rilun replied with a smile, and then turned back to look at the back of Yue Yong who had walked away. He saw that Yue Yong had two more clean chopsticks in milky white color that were used as hairpins. …
