Chapter 287 We meet again (please subscribe and subscribe monthly)
Sakamoto Yoshino patted his somewhat groggy head.
In July in Shanghai, the heat is unbearable.
He wanted to keep cool, so he turned on the fan during his lunch break without covering himself with a blanket.
After waking up, I felt a little stuffy and dizzy.
Then I heard the quarrel at the door of Licha Hotel.
Sakamoto Yoshino frowned, looked up, and saw a rather handsome young man in a suit and leather shoes. After scolding the man who seemed to have bumped into him, he rubbed his arm.
Miyazaki-kun?
Sakamoto Yoshino saw this man's face clearly and was very surprised.
Then a surge of joy.
Almost at the same time, Cheng Qianfan turned his head subconsciously and happened to see Sakamoto Yoshino.
He looked extremely surprised.
"Miya..." Just when Sakamoto Yoshino was about to call out his name, Cheng Qianfan walked up in a few steps and approached Sakamoto Yoshino, his expression eager and serious, "Sakamoto-kun, don't talk, come with me."
As he said that, he turned around and left.
Sakamoto Yoshino was shocked, but nodded subconsciously and quickly followed Cheng Qianfan.
There is a cafe about a hundred meters away from Licha Hotel.
Cheng Qianfan pushed the door straight in and found a corner seat.
About half a minute later, Sakamoto Yoshino also pushed the door open and entered.
“Two servings of coffee.” Cheng Qianfan was telling the waiter, “One serving without sugar, this gentleman’s coffee contains more sugar.”
…
After the waiter leaves.
“Miyazaki-kun, I really didn’t expect to see you again in Shanghai.” Sakamoto Yoshino said happily.
"I didn't expect to meet Mr. Sakamoto again in Shanghai." Cheng Qianfan showed a happy expression, "I received a letter from the teacher last time, saying that you had gone to Peking to look for me. The teacher also said that you would return to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Work."
“I don’t want to go back to China, I want to stay and work in China.” Sakamoto Yoshino said, “I like the beautiful city of Shanghai, so I decided to come to Shanghai to work.”
At this time, the waiter brought the coffee.
Sakamoto Yoshino took a sip of coffee and nodded happily, "I didn't expect that Miyazaki-kun would remember that I like to drink coffee with sugar after we said goodbye last time."
“Good friends are always in my heart.” Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, “Sakamoto-kun sent me fine wine from Kyoto, but it’s a pity that I’m not in Peking. I must have been ‘corrupted’ by my teacher.”
The two looked at each other and both laughed.
Although they have not had much contact, both of them admire each other very much and have a good foundation of friendship.
…
“It’s been more than a year since we last saw each other.” Cheng Qianfan raised his coffee cup, “I’m so happy to be able to meet again in Shanghai.”
“You’re right, cheers to this meeting.”
The two of them smiled, drank coffee instead of wine, and clinked glasses.
“Where is Uncle Sakamoto? How is his health lately?” Cheng Qianfan asked with concern about Sakamoto Nagayuki’s condition.
"Thank you Miyazaki-kun for your concern. My father's health has always been very good." Sakamoto Yoshino sighed, "It's just that the work has been heavy recently, and I'm worried that he is too tired."
“A few months ago, the teacher wrote to me and said that Uncle Sakamoto is no longer responsible for teaching. How could he be so tired?” Cheng Qianfan asked in surprise.
“The empire is worried that China’s important cultural relics will be destroyed by the war.” Sakamoto Yoshino said, “Therefore, the imperial cabinet invited some professors and scholars, including my father, and they are currently studying and sorting out the cultural relics of the Forbidden City in Peking.”
“It turns out that Uncle Sakamoto is working too hard.” Cheng Qianfan sighed.
He felt so angry and aggrieved. Peiping was still in the hands of the government, and Peiping had not yet fallen. The Japanese were already planning to build cultural relics in the Forbidden City in Peking.
In addition, from Sakamoto Yoshino's unintentional words, Cheng Qianfan once again proved Japan's ambition to expand the war and occupy Heipin.
…
“When did Sakamoto-kun come to Shanghai?” Cheng Qianfan gently stirred the coffee with a spoon and asked casually.
“I have been here for several months.” Sakamoto Yoshino said, “I now work at the Imperial Consulate General in Shanghai.”
“Really?” Cheng Qianfan asked in surprise and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect Mr. Sakamoto to work at the Consulate General and become Mr. Imamura’s colleague.”
Cheng Qianfan was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's really unexpected."
He was actually a little dumbfounded in his heart. He didn't expect that he just made the beginning, and Sakamoto Yoshino took the initiative to tell everything.
This even caught Cheng Qianfan off guard. The plans and words he had prepared in his mind had to be significantly deleted and rethought.
"Miyazaki-kun was on a mission just now, so you can't recognize me." After chatting for a while, Sakamoto Yoshino finally remembered the situation when the two met just now and asked.
"So be it." Cheng Qianfan smiled bitterly. He took out the cigarette box from his pocket and was about to take out the cigarette, but he put the cigarette back into his pocket.
"It's okay. Although I rarely smoke, I don't mind." Sakamoto Yoshino said with a smile.
“You have a cold, and the smell of smoke is not good.” Cheng Qianfan said.
“Miyazaki-kun, how did you know?” Sakamoto Yoshino asked in surprise.
"Details." Cheng Qianfan pointed to Sakamoto Yoshino's nose, "Your nasal cavity is blocked, so your speech is a bit hoarse."
“It’s really amazing.” Sakamoto Yoshino said happily.
…
“I’m so happy to meet Sakamoto-kun again in Shanghai.” Cheng Qianfan sighed, “It’s really amazing. We met in Shanghai more than a year ago.”
"Then we waved goodbye. A year later, we met again, and it was in Shanghai." Cheng Qianfan took a long breath and said with a smile, "If I remember correctly, Sakamoto-kun also met Mr. Imamura for the first time last year, right? , I didn’t expect to be working next to Mr. Imamura now.”
“Life is really wonderful.” He showed a hint of envy and sighed softly again.
"Mr. Imamura also admires you very much and once mentioned Miyazaki-kun to me." Sakamoto Yoshino couldn't bear his friend's sadness and said with relief.
Cheng Qianfan was stunned again. The purpose of his topic was to draw attention to Hyōtaro Imamura. He even planned to take the risk to express his respect for Hyōtaro Imamura, eager to have the opportunity to listen to his teachings in person.
However, Sakamoto Yoshino's cooperation frequently disrupted his rhythm.
Cheng Qianfan immediately responded "disrespectfully".
“Really?” Cheng Qianfan said happily, “I didn’t expect Mr. Imamura to still remember me.”
He was thinking quickly in his mind and was about to continue speaking.
But he saw Sakamoto Yoshino raising his wrist to look at his watch.
Cheng Qianfan was anxious inside, but tried his best to show a calm expression, and asked, "Is there something wrong, Mr. Sakamoto?"
“I have to go to work at the Consulate General.” Sakamoto Yoshino said with a smile, “I’m going to be late.”
"What a pity, we just-" Cheng Qianfan said with a mixture of regret and anxiety.
"Today is Mr. Imamura's birthday. If Miyazaki-kun can show up, Mr. Imamura will be very surprised." Sakamoto Yoshino interrupted him and said.
Cheng Qianfan blinked his eyes, swallowed back what he was about to say, and showed a surprised expression, "Today is Mr. Imamura's birthday?"
"Yes, what a coincidence." Sakamoto Yoshino said happily, "Miyazaki-kun, I'm sorry, I have to go to work. This is my room key at the Richa Hotel. You wait there for me to get off work. Let's Let’s give Mr. Imamura a big surprise together.”
Speaking, Sakamoto Yoshino turned around and walked away.
Miyazaki-kun must not be willing to take him to see Adjutant Imamura by himself.
Sakamoto Yoshino said in his heart.
He was afraid that Kentaro Miyazaki would refuse. He knew that his friend was a rather sensitive and introverted friend who did not like to accept charity and help from others.
So, he decided to drop the keys and leave.
at this time.
Looking down at the room key on the coffee table, and looking up at Sakamoto Yoshino's leaving figure, Cheng Qianfan's expression was slightly startled.
He admitted that he was leading the atmosphere and topic of the conversation, and he was also quietly creating a feeling that he was happy about Sakamoto Yoshino's bright future, but also inadvertently felt a little sad.
However, the smoothness of the entire process and the gratifying results were beyond his expectations.
I was used to spending tricks such as Tongying Zuoying I and Three Books, Tan Detai, and even Dai Chunfeng. Suddenly, they met opponents such as Sakamoto Ryeo, which was a little uncomfortable.
Sakamoto Yoshino has left, but Cheng Qianfan is still acting:
He shook his head, smiled bitterly, there was self-mockery in his eyes, and a hint of inexplicable emotion, which eventually turned into a gentle sigh.
