268, Longevity, Longevity (Please Order the Full Version)

"No wonder Senior Bai refuses to come to my place."

"It turns out that I have a relationship with Tanabe-senpai, but I forgot about it..."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke frowned.

One person invites someone and the other person rejects it. No matter what the reason is, after being rejected, the person who invited... inevitably feels a little embarrassed.

This loses face and is not a big problem.

But one moment he refused, and the next moment he walked to another person's office. Fortunately, he happened to be touched by him, which undoubtedly made him feel some burning pain on his face, and he felt humiliated.

"O Akutagawa, Akutagawa, Confucius said: 'Only women and villains are difficult to raise. Those who are close will not be inferior, and those who are far away will be resentful'."

"Are you a villain?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke's expression returned to normal and he said in alarm.

When you become famous at a young age, you will inevitably be a little arrogant. This has been the case since ancient times.

However, arrogance is also relative. Akutagawa Ryunosuke naturally maintains his arrogance towards ordinary people, but facing Bai Miwa, who is only a few years older than him and has written several masterpieces, he can't even feel a trace of arrogance in his heart... so he can quickly improve himself. Be alert.

People who are arrogant may seem quite docile most of the time.

But in fact, in his heart, he didn't want to care about mediocrity and was too lazy to deal with it, which was why he ended up like this.

Bai Gui on the other side didn't know that Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who was dozens of steps away from him, had experienced such a psychological struggle.

He was standing at the door, talking to Ryuko Tanabe.

"When I came to Japan, I wanted to visit you in Miyazaki County, Kyushu."

"But I thought you were away from home all year round, so I came directly to Tokyo."

He thought carefully about his words.

"Yeah?"

Tanabe Ryuko looked at Bai Gui with suspicious eyes.

"I'm not one of those little women of yours."

"If you really want to see me sooner, just come to me directly when you return to Tokyo. Why else should you write a letter? What's the point of writing a letter because of the relationship between you and me?"

She smiled and said.

"The relationship between you and me..."

"Ahem, you really don't need to write a letter."

Bai Gui coughed lightly.

He understood what Ryuko Tanabe meant, and it would be better to be direct.

An hour later.

He walked out of Ryuko Tanabe's office.

"Bai Jun, you are saying that you are going to study at Yale University. Perhaps, this should be something I should have thought of a long time ago. You are still young and still studying."

"Perhaps, I should also make preparations..."

Tanabe Ryuko sighed.

"What preparations are you making?"

Bai Gui said in surprise.

Only then did he realize that Tanabe Ryuko was an older leftover girl and it was time for her to get married.

Originally, Yujiro Miyake was planning to pursue Ryuko Tanabe, but he inadvertently disturbed her. Later, after Ryuko Tanabe and him had a scandal in the literary world, there were basically no suitors.

Ryuko Tanabe looked down upon ordinary people.

But it was impossible for him to marry Ryuko Tanabe.

The relationship between the two of them is just that of simple literary friends.

"Bai Jun, what are you thinking about?"

"Could it be that you are thinking that no one wants me anymore and I can be left to your own devices."

Tanabe Ryuko pursed her lips slightly and said with a half-smile.

"There, you have countless suitors in Huayuan. If you say you want to get married, you will definitely be able to find someone to marry..."

Bai Gui said firmly.

"That's pretty much it."

Tanabe Ryuko nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's exactly what you thought. Now my parents know that you are my fiancé. Well, you pretended to be my fiancé when you went to Kyushu. Don't worry, I won't let you Responsible."

"I have to find a way to stop my parents from pushing for marriage once and for all."

Bai Gui couldn't interrupt in this matter. valley

It was impossible for Tanabe Ryuko to accompany him to Amei Ken Country. Regardless of whether he was willing or not, Tanabe Ryuko obviously did not have the character of Yamada Mitsuko. She was obviously stronger and more independent.

With Ryuko Tanabe’s character, it’s basically impossible to be his yes-man!

"This is my souvenir for you."

"I was in such a hurry when I came here that I didn't have time to give it to you. I'll give it to you now!"

He took out a beautiful gift box from his handbag and handed it to Tanabe Ryuko.

The souvenirs given by Japanese people are generally not particularly precious, and the souvenirs they give are also some domestic specialties.

"Well, thank you Mr. Bai, I like it very much."

Tanabe Ryuko accepted the gift and thanked her.

After giving souvenirs to Tanabe Ryuko, Hakugui also went on to give souvenirs to other members of the Asahi Club who were familiar with him before. As for those who were not familiar with him, there was no need to deal with them.

Exited Asahisha.

Bai Gui went to his old club Minjin Newspaper office again to give souvenirs to his friends.

No gift is too much, no gift is too little.

"Most of the international students have returned to their countries."

"I'm the only one left..."

He thought as he sat in the rickshaw on the way home.

Although the number of people studying in Japan is increasing day by day, there is no one he knows well among them. Most of the Japanese students in the same class as him have returned to the country and the provinces, leaving him alone.

"White Deer, White Deer Immortal Grass..."

"Immortality, longevity, I must go to Yale University to get more Taoist skills and learn the secrets of Taoism!"

Bai Gui looked at the endless flow of people silently, and then thought.

Time passes.

The rickshaw is getting closer and closer to Bai Zhai.

"Wait a moment."

"Wait a moment."

Bai Gui suddenly realized something.

"Sir, what's wrong?"

The rickshaw driver looked at Bai Gui in surprise and asked.

"Well, nothing, pull slower."

Bai Gui smiled and exchanged some green tangerines from the Kunlun mirror, using the juice of the green tangerine peel to cover the smell of powder on his body.

Although Tanabe Ryuko was still beautiful, she inevitably used a lot of rouge and powder.

This method was learned in his previous life.

"It really works."

Bai Gui's sense of smell was well developed. He sniffed his own breath and still had a fragrance, but it was the fragrance of the body, not the fragrance of rouge and powder.

He got off the rickshaw.

His hands were full of peeled green tangerines.

He couldn't just throw them away.

"I bought this for you, Xiao Chiyo, you must finish it."

Bai Gui handed the green tangerine to Xiao Chiyo, squatted down, touched Xiao Chiyo's head, and smiled.

"Did Onisan peel it for me?"

Xiao Chiyo showed a hint of joy in her eyes.

She took a bite of the green tangerine and immediately had tears in her eyes. In order to cover up the smell of powder, Bai Gui bought green tangerines that were sour and astringent, so that the juice would be more abundant.

But she thought that Bai Gui peeled it specially for her, so she ate it slowly, one slice at a time.

It was still early when they returned to Bai's house.

When Bai Gui and Xunzi walked down the attic, it was already evening.

Dinner was prepared early, it was Sukiyaki.

Bai Gui took a bite of the hot Wagyu beef, which tasted very good. He put down his bamboo chopsticks, thought for a while, and said, "Xiuzhu, you will accompany me to the literary banquet of the Asahi Society tomorrow."

Bai Xiuzhu was his wife, so he should take Bai Xiuzhu with him to such a scene.

In some literary banquets in the past, writers also brought their wives to attend.
