Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"Mr. Lin, I never thought that one day I would be able to walk on the street with you. It's like a dream."

For Sawaguchi Yasuko, the previous Lin Daoqiu seemed to be just a legendary figure. Apart from the movies he made, Sawaguchi Yasuko could no longer find anything related to Lin Daoqiu.

If Isao Matsuoka hadn't taken her to meet Lin Daoqiu this time, Yasuko Sawaguchi still wouldn't know what kind of person Lin Daoqiu is.

"Actually, I'm just a very ordinary person. I'm not as complicated as Miss Sawaguchi thinks. It's just that I don't like to be in the limelight, so I basically won't appear in the media."

It's not that Lin Daoqiu is lying. He is indeed such a person. He doesn't like to be the center of attention, let alone the target of media pursuit.

It was only in the 1980s that we could have such a little freedom. If it were in later generations, those media reporters would have to try their best to expose Lin Daoqiu clearly.

"Mr. Lin is such a humble person, and I totally agree with your thoughts. Speaking of which, I don't like being interviewed by the media, but as an actor, it is absolutely impossible not to accept interviews."

Yasuko Sawaguchi also wants to be like Lin Daoqiu, who doesn’t need to accept interviews, but only needs to perform well.

But for her as an actress, this is obviously an impossible thing.

Not giving interviews or appearing on variety shows to help promote movies and TV series is obviously against the ecology and rules of the current entertainment industry.

"Although actors have many restrictions, they also have benefits that ordinary people cannot enjoy. It can only be said that there are pros and cons, but the pros definitely outweigh the cons."

Lin Daoqiu would not say anything, but would help Yasuko Sawaguchi find a way so that she would not have to give interviews or appear on variety shows.

Although Lin Daoqiu could do it, he could feel that Yasuko Sawaguchi was just complaining a little. If he really planned to arrange it for her like this, he would definitely scare her.

The two of them walked to a small river unknowingly, and the two of them stood on the edge of the railing. Around them, many couples were either chatting or flirting.

Yasuko Sawaguchi didn't know how he and Lin Daoqiu ended up here, it seemed like this was an unconscious behavior.

In fact, when she gave Lin Daoqiu her phone number yesterday, she didn't mean to have anything happen with Lin Daoqiu right away.

Yasuko Sawaguchi's idea was very simple. She wanted to meet the man she had admired for a long time alone, chat with him, and watch a movie together.

As for what kind of development will follow, Sawaguchi Yasuko is not opposed to it, but she will definitely not be the one who takes the initiative.

But in this situation, Sawaguchi Yasuko felt a little at a loss because most of the people who came here were couples. She felt a little panicked and even thought about inexplicable things involuntarily.

"The moon is so beautiful tonight."

Just when Yasuko Sawaguchi was still thinking wildly, Lin Daoqiu suddenly changed the topic to the moon in the sky.

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Sawaguchi Yasuko was startled, but she quickly reacted.

"Ah...yes...yes Mr. Lin, the sky is really beautiful today."

Yasuko Sawaguchi quickly shook his head, trying to shake all the random thoughts out of his head.

"You don't need to call me Mr. Lin, just call me Qiu."

"Autumn……"

Yasuko Sawaguchi's eyes widened slightly, and she changed her name from Mr. Lin to Qiu, which meant that their relationship was one step closer than before.

For Yasuko Sawaguchi, she is naturally very happy that the relationship between the two can take a further step.

"Then...then Mr. Qiu...Qiu also calls me by my name."

After saying this, Yasuko Sawaguchi felt her face start to get hot. She didn't know what was wrong. She just changed the names of both parties, as if she had agreed to something terrible.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Why is your face so red?"

Lin Daoqiu turned around and saw that Sawaguchi Yasuko's face was a little red with her head lowered.

Upon hearing this, Yasuko Sawaguchi quickly touched her face with her hand, and even she was shocked.

She felt as if her face was on fire. She didn't notice this at all before, but her face must be very red now.

"No...it's okay. I'm fine. Lin...Qiu, don't worry."

Although she tried her best to relax, every time Yasuko Sawaguchi called Lin Daoqiu's name, she felt that her heart was about to jump out of her body.

"Jingzi, if you feel uncomfortable, don't hold on, can I take you back?"

Lin Daoqiu thought that something was really wrong with Yasuko Sawaguchi's health, otherwise it would be unlikely that her face would be so red. After all, she didn't drink.

Realizing that the other party had misunderstood, Yasuko Sawaguchi wanted to explain, but she could not think of a suitable reason.

I can't tell Lin Daoqiu that my face turned red like this because I was so shy when calling your name.

"Yes... yes, I haven't finished eating yet. Can Qiu come with me to have dinner?"

Yasuko Sawaguchi didn't have time to eat before she came out. She was so preoccupied with meeting Lin Daoqiu that she didn't even bother to eat.

Hearing that Yasuko Sawaguchi hadn't eaten yet, Lin Daoqiu nodded quickly.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier, let's go, we're going to eat right away."

At first, Lin Daoqiu wanted to take Yasuko Sawaguchi to eat some high-end cuisine, such as sushi.

However, when Lin Daoqiu made this suggestion, Sawaguchi Yasuko shook his head vigorously.

"No...I don't want to eat sushi, I just want to eat some ramen."

Although high-end things like sushi are rarely bought and eaten by oneself, Yasuko Sawaguchi didn’t want Lin Daoqiu to think that she was a very vain woman.

Even though she knew very well that for Lin Daoqiu, eating sushi or something was not a big deal at all, but she still insisted on eating common food like ramen.

"Okay, since you want to eat ramen, let's go eat ramen."

For Lin Daoqiu, it doesn't really matter what he eats, as long as it fills his stomach.

He has never tasted any delicacies from the mountains and seas in these years, so for Lin Daoqiu, what he is pursuing now is not something made with expensive ingredients, as long as it is delicious food.

Hearing that Lin Daoqiu didn't mind eating ramen with him, Sawaguchi Yasuko immediately showed a happy smile.

At first, she was worried that Lin Daoqiu was not used to eating those common people's dishes, but now it seemed that she had thought too much. The other party was not the kind of pampered person, which made Sawaguchi Yasuko secretly relieved in her heart.
