National Tide 1980

The sunset has disappeared and night is coming.

The wind on the coast also became stronger as a result, and the fog could be clearly seen in the breath of the two people.

Just as Ning Weimin was about to take off his coat and put it on Matsumoto Keiko to show his thoughtfulness, the BP machine in Matsumoto Keiko's pocket suddenly vibrated.

Although the silent setting was turned on, this vibration ruined the atmosphere like a piercing alarm and broke the quiet world of the two.

The interaction between the two stopped suddenly. Matsumoto Keiko opened her purse and took out the BP machine to look at it.

Under the fluorescent light, Ning Weimin noticed something abnormal about her.

It seemed that after just one glance, he frowned with a very unhappy expression.

And then he grabbed the BP machine tightly, looking uneasy.

The call came at an untimely time and was a big nuisance. Ning Weimin, who was good at observing words and emotions, easily caught this detail.

After all, he makes his living by guessing people's hearts.

Matsumoto Keiko's expression and behavior clearly showed that something bad had happened that made her unhappy.

I just don’t know, is it a problem at work or a trouble in life?

"Do you need a call back?"

"Yeah." Keiko Matsumoto's voice was as soft as a mosquito.

"Then let's leave. I just saw that there seems to be a public phone in the parking lot..."

Keiko Matsumoto nodded silently and didn't answer at all this time.

In the parking lot, I found the public phone I needed.

But after Matsumoto Keiko got through, he only spoke for a few minutes before hanging up.

When she turned around, her eyes met with Ning Weimin's, who was waiting in the distance.

The emotion she expressed at this time was a touch of sadness and helplessness.

"It was my mother who came to me crying. My father refused my funding a few days ago and returned the money to me. But his business still has no way to finance. In the past few days, even the bank has refused his request to extend the loan. . Now the situation of the company is getting worse and worse. My mother is very worried that my father will go bankrupt, and maybe even the house will be taken away by the bank to pay off the debt. She tried to persuade her father again today, but he was scolded instead. I really don’t want to Know what to do. My father and I have a bad relationship. It's been like this since I was a kid, and since I refused to listen to him and insisted on entering the entertainment industry, he simply stopped talking to me..."

After Matsumoto Keiko approached, he took the initiative to explain to Ning Weimin, although Ning Weimin did not ask.

This is the first time Matsumoto Keiko has actively mentioned her family situation to Ning Weimin, which is obviously an expression of trust.

But then again, it is difficult for an upright official to stop family affairs.

Although Ning Weimin did not want to betray Matsumoto Keiko's trust, he did not really understand her family situation.

Rushing to give advice and advice on such a father-daughter relationship may not necessarily please him.

Even straightforward evaluations are difficult to export easily.

Otherwise, if you accidentally touch the other party's pain points, it will easily give the other party a bad impression of being reckless and overbearing.

The above thoughts were just fleeting thoughts in Ning Weimin's mind, so he could only be tactful and make insinuations.

"Old people are very stubborn. My unrelated relative in my family is also a stubborn old man. When he gets sick, he always feels that it is not serious and is dragging on. He is reluctant to go to the hospital. Just because he is not a retired employee. He couldn't enjoy public medical care, so the old man was afraid of spending money. No matter whether I coaxed or begged him, he wouldn't agree. Do you know what I did next? I first went to the hospital and paid him all the money, and told him not to go to the hospital. He also didn’t refund the money. He went with such a half-hearted offer. Even if he blames me afterwards, it doesn’t matter, as long as his illness is not delayed.”

"you mean……"

I have to say that the euphemism of the Japanese and the euphemism of us Chinese are a little on the same page.

So Keiko Matsumoto seems to understand some, but not all.

But seeing that she hadn't turned around yet, her eyes were filled with the desire for help.

Ning Weimin's heart softened and he couldn't beat around the bush anymore, so he had to point it out directly.

"What I mean is, if I were you, I would not negotiate with your father face to face, nor would I try to persuade him. Instead, I would turn around and go to those creditors and spend money to solve the problem for him. If I could hide it from you As for the father, just keep it secret for now. This is better than giving him the money directly. It can not only help him get out of trouble in time, but also avoid quarrels and entanglements between the two of you. Do you know? When a person is in such a difficult situation, If you suddenly find that all the problems have been solved, it is equivalent to an uncivilized person accidentally finding money that he forgot to put in a pocket one day, or finding a few 10,000-yen bills in the middle of his clothes. I’m just happy.”

After saying this, Matsumoto Keiko was worried about the vice president.

Ning Weimin then added, "It doesn't matter even if your father finds out about this in the future. Even if he loses his temper, it's better than the problem not being solved, right? Besides, people all have feelings. Even if he can't let go of the man To save face, he said he was unhappy. But as time went by, he felt relieved when he thought that his daughter had helped him. What’s more, looking at it from the other side, it can also be said that it was precisely because he valued his daughter more than money that he was so stubborn. Right? By the way, I remember it was revealed in the newspaper that Yamaguchi Momoe’s father always asked her for money, and that man was a greedy scoundrel. In comparison, how can there be such a father who doesn’t love money? For Miss Keiko, it is undoubtedly an honorable thing. Isn’t a father like this worthy of respect? "

It was these words that completely convinced Matsumoto Keiko.

The more she thought about it, her mood improved a lot and she couldn't help but nod in thanks.

"Thank you so much. I didn't expect that you gave me such a good idea. You are really amazing. You solved my difficult problem so easily. You are also so good at understanding people. Unknowingly, I became cheerful. You're up..."

"Don't say that. It would be great if I could help you. In fact, I only kept calm as a bystander. And you were too anxious because it was a trouble that a relative encountered, so you didn't think of it for a moment. This is Just like the most skilled doctors cannot operate on their own relatives..."

"Huh? Is there any other way to say this?"

"Yes, in China and in the capital, everyone knows the saying 'medicine is not autonomous'."

"Isn't medicine...autonomous?"

Matsumoto Keiko learned a sentence and then sighed.

"It is indeed a big country and an ancient capital. The Chinese people are really smart."

But it wasn't over yet. Just when Ning Weimin was a little ashamed of her slightly exaggerated praise, she actually said, "To thank you, I want to buy you another gift."

"ah?"

Ning Weimin was stunned for a moment, then immediately declined.

"No, no, you're too polite."

"That's not okay. You must give a gift. What you said is too important to me. Let me think about it, what should I give you?"

"No, no... don't buy anything, because I haven't done anything. Besides, aren't we friends? If you do this, I will be deeply ashamed."

"Then... if it's not to thank you, but just for Christmas, is it okay? You always have to give gifts at Christmas..."

Ning Weimin couldn't help laughing at Matsumoto Keiko's excuse.

"It's really not necessary. I'm Chinese and I don't believe in religion. I'm not a child anymore. It's just Christmas."

"Then... Isn't it okay if I don't give you expensive gifts? For example, are there any celebrities you want to meet? Yamaguchi Momoe, Kurihara Komaki, Baisho Chieko? Takakura Ken, Atsumi Kiyoshi? They seem to be very famous in China. Don’t you want to meet? Also, are you interested in photography studios, production companies and TV stations? Do you want to visit? If you are willing, I can arrange it for you..."

Matsumoto Keiko still refused to give up and came up with another alternative.

But even though she said it was easy, Ning Weimin understood that it was impossible for this kind of arrangement not to be owed a favor.

So even though I was a little curious, I still shook my head decisively.

"Miss Qingzi, I understand all your thoughts. But to me, who among the other actors can compare to you? Whether they are male or female, I have no desire to meet..."

However, at this point, seeing Matsumoto Keiko looking disappointed again, Ning Weimin suddenly had a sudden inspiration.

He cleared his throat, already deciding to take one more step forward.

"But if you... really want to give me something, can I make a request myself?"

Matsumoto Keiko immediately became curious.

"Okay? What do you want?"

"Give me some of your bravery..."

"What?"

"I admire Miss Keiko for always persevering in herself in the face of adversity. So for your bravery, can you give me some..."

"Ah? Brave? How to send it?"

"Bravery can be passed on, do you just say you are willing or not?"

"You...really want to..."

Ning Weimin's words sounded ridiculous to Matsumoto Keiko's ears.

Despite his explanation, Keiko Matsumoto still thought it was nonsense.

But the problem is that in an environment that has not yet completely converted to night, Matsumoto Keiko can still see Ning Weimin's face at close range.

This is a face that combines all the imagination of a woman.

Set off by the shiny black hair, it looks like it was carved and created by gods, poets, painters, and warriors.

Not only is he young, handsome, tall and angular, but he is also profound, mysterious, sensitive, cheerful and cold.

Whether it is lines, textures, colors, contours, or undulations, women can be obsessed with it.

In front of her, it was this face that was particularly gentle, whispering to her, "Close your eyes, would you? Just stretch out a hand to me, any hand is fine."

So no matter how unreasonable and absurd these words are.

But how could she refuse? How can I bear to say no? How can you refuse?

There seemed to be a mysterious force driving her, making her obey, making her submit.

So she closed her eyes obediently.

To be honest, little tricks like this are really boring and childish.

This kind of bloody plot has probably been staged in countless soap operas.

According to the understanding of many people, I am afraid that only little girls who are inexperienced in the world will be seduced by such stupid tricks.

Ning Weimin would actually use such despicable methods. How could he possibly impress a woman with a successful career, rich experience, and countless suitors?

However, people who think this way ignore basic common sense and fall into ideological misunderstandings.

Because for women, especially women like Matsumoto Keiko.

The game is not important, only who is the target is important.

I would rather fish for the moon in the water with the right person than fly in space with the wrong person.

So Keiko Matsumoto did reach out.

And he still reached out with eagerness and expectation.

In fact, the moment she stretched out her right hand, Matsumoto Keiko felt a strong sense of romance.

Her hands were delicate and pure. Under the symphony of dark blue skylight and warm lights, they trembled slightly, waiting for the unknown.

Her sensitive fingertips trembled, sparkling in the light and shadow, exuding a faint fragrance.

A thrill of anticipation penetrated her skin, making her feel a little numb and a little itchy in the slightest coolness.

At the same time, Ning Weimin couldn't help but indulge in admiring Matsumoto Keiko's appearance at this time.

Admire her long hair, forehead, eyebrow tips, nose tip, lip corners, neck, and even...

There was at least ten seconds of silence before Ning Weimin finally came to his senses and made the response he should have given long ago.

So while the woman was waiting eagerly, he also extended his warm hand.

The ten fingers were gently intertwined and interlocked tightly.

All the peripheral nerves are gathered in one place, in the palms, hand lines, fingertips and between the fingers of the left and right hands.

Two warm currents were pumped out from their hearts, and the warmth flowed through each of their capillaries, all the way to their fingertips.

This warm current continues to moisturize their blood vessels, bones, skin, and pores.

So much so that he wasn't sure whether this childish little game would bring him more gains if he continued.

If he does move forward, will he be rewarded or punished?

But opportunities cannot tolerate waiting and hesitation.

As a result, when he hesitated, this opportunity was quickly missed.

Suddenly, Matsumoto Keiko's BP machine vibrated again.

A moment later, when Matsumoto Keiko told her embarrassingly that she needed to go to her parents' house immediately to see her sad mother.

Ning Weimin had to use a man's generosity to cover up his embarrassment and loss.

So he could only comfort Matsumoto Keiko with a few words, and reluctantly ended the date with a wet mood.

Then they got in the car and left here along the moonlit seaside road.

But even when Ning Weimin returned to his apartment, he was still recalling every detail of today, and was annoyed by his hesitation and shrinking at the critical moment.

But then again, regret is regret.

But the result was not exactly what he had imagined, which was in line with the definition of romance, making this date even more exciting and exciting.

And if you think about it carefully, isn't the most touching thing between men and women sometimes just these subtle speculations?

All the beauty and freshness are hidden between the advance and retreat and the swing, rather than the open posture of attack and defense.
