Chapter 12 Bathing and Rain(2/2)
"Haha, he is a rare handsome guy after all."
Ozawa Sonoko covered her mouth and chuckled: "If I put the photo of you reading here on Heyu's website, maybe the business could be doubled."
"Really……"
Qing Keisuke nodded noncommittally.
"Why don't you see your companion?" Ozawa Sonoko asked curiously.
"Maybe I'm too tired from playing during the day."
"ah--"
Ozawa Sonoko said with regret: "That's a pity. The rain scene in Osawa Mountain is great. This is the best location. When it rained in the past, I also liked to sit here and listen to the sound of rain."
"Does General Ozawa like the rain?" Aoi Keisuke asked.
"Um……"
Ozawa Sonoko looked like a little girl thinking, and then said with a smile: "As a store owner, I should expect sunny days, but I quite like rain."
"Really?" Qing Keisuke looked out the window with a hint of sadness in his tone: "Why do I feel like this mountain is crying?"
"Huh? Ah!"
Ozawa Sonoko looked panicked for a moment, but Keisuke Aoi didn't notice her.
"Why would Mr. Qinggui think so?"
"Sorry, maybe because I was reading a book just now."
"Ah...it's a snow country, so no wonder."
"How is Mount Osawa in winter, General Ozawa?"
"Oh, it was snowing heavily, and everything was white."
Ozawa Sonoko took out her mobile phone and showed him the snow scenes she took last winter.
"Isn't it amazing? If I don't hire someone to shovel the snow, I'm afraid the roof will collapse."
Ozawa Sonoko chatted with Aoi Keisuke for a while, then picked up the cold tea on the table and asked him to change it for another cup.
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay, just take it as a thank you to Mr. Qinggui for being willing to chat with me."
When she came back, she simply brought the purple clay tea set and wanted to make tea for Qing Keisuke to drink.
Tao Zi brought over a pot of hot water with a grimace.
"Please use."
"Thanks."
There were guests around asking for tea, and Ozawa Sonoko also welcomed them and poured them a cup.
"Would you like to call your companion over for a drink?" Ozawa Sonoko asked with a smile.
"Forget it, she has a bad temper."
"Really?" The boss lady, who still had her charm, chuckled charmingly: "Such a cute girl needs to be more considerate and caring."
cute?
Qing Keisuke took a sip of tea and smiled without saying a word.
After enjoying the mountain rain and tea, Qing Keisuke stood up and said goodbye to Ozawa Sonoko, and returned to his room to wait for the supper time.
Aoi Keisuke placed the book on the low table next to the observation deck, took a photo of the book cover and the rainy window, and then posted it to his own feed with the accompanying text:
I originally thought the typed words were too pretentious, but it didn't seem to be shameful, so I kept them as a parody of it.
Taking advantage of this time, he read the rest of the plot of "Snow Country" until the protagonist had a sudden glimpse on the train, and the heart-thumping girl Ye Zi fell from the building in the flames. In just a short moment, the entire poignant story unfolded.
The story comes to an abrupt end.
"..."
Qing Keisuke read the last part twice, and then looked at the updates he posted. It seemed that it was not without its merits.
He then took out the sake, found a white porcelain cup from the cabinet and started sipping.
Having said that, this... doesn't seem like a book you should read when traveling at all?!
"Mr. Zeshu, please help urge the kitchen to prepare supper quickly. You can come over for a drink. Come directly to my room."
"okay!"
The middle-aged man who had been waiting early took the initiative immediately after receiving the call. Within a few minutes, he took the food and drinks and knocked on Qing Keisuke's door.
"Oh, good evening, little brother Qinggui."
"Good evening."
"I brought the edamame here first, do you want to eat it?"
"Of course, please take a seat."
Sawaki Otomo's eyes lit up when he saw the sake on the table - Aoi Keisuke would not be stingy when it came to making wine. Just by looking at the brand, he knew that they were all high-end and good wines.
Edamame is simply cooked, but it goes well with refreshing and soft sake.
"Can you turn on the TV?" Otomo Sawaki drank a glass of wine before asking.
"sure."
"When drinking, I always feel that it has to be lively to have fun. Even if you only have a TV, it's fine." Otomo Sawaki made a bold statement that suited his age: "What to watch? A baseball game? Football? Or a late-night show?"
Qing Keisuke waved his hand, indicating that he could do whatever he wanted.
Finally, what was shown on TV was a cool and beautiful girl's challenge show. Apart from anything else, the atmosphere among the guests was indeed quite lively.
Wine should match food, and food should harmonize with the taste of wine. It seems... the environment should also match, right?
Qing Keisuke looked out the window and felt that it was indeed a mistake not to express his opinion just now.
After a while, a waiter came to deliver the food.
Crab meat steamed eggs, grilled flavored beef slices, seafood salad, chicken skewers, and plates of exquisite and delicious late-night snacks with wine were served. If you want to be more sophisticated, you have to smoke them according to the flavor and taste of the sake.
The four categories of refreshing, mellow and cooked are used to match dishes, but if you are so particular about it, it will actually affect the mood of drinking, so no one cares about this issue at all.
"Brother Qinggui, let me toast you!"
"Come."
As the drinking party progressed, Otomo Zeshu began to talk more and more unknowingly. There was no need for Qing Keisuke to deliberately talk about the secrets of Mt. Ozeki himself.
"We...are all damned sinners."
