187: Chapter 16: The Dove Occupying the Magpie’s Nest 187: Chapter 16: The Dove Occupying the Magpie’s Nest Sometimes, Tang Zheng really wished his mind wouldn’t dive into such detail.
Just one minute after he got the old map, he saw that Hiyoshi Town had been abolished and merged with a few other areas to form what is now Nantan City.
But just to be safe, he decided to continue searching for any other places with the same name.
What if the Kyoto Prefecture given by the Trojan was an incorrect address but the latter half was correct?
Who would have thought that as he looked from bottom to top, he would suddenly see ‘Hiyoshi Town’ again in the Kagoshima Prefecture of Kyushu.
Tang Zheng immediately felt a headache coming.
“It must be also abolished, and merged with several nearby towns to form Hizaki City.” Tang Zheng didn’t want to bother with it, but it was jabbing at him like a fish bone stuck in his throat.
“It’s more than half the length of Japan to Tokyo, there’s simply no time to confirm.” Looking at the distance on the map, Tang Zheng gave up, deciding to go directly to Nantan City.
“Didn’t you hear me?” Kobayakawa Yumi’s manner became cold, she felt she had been deceived, “Answer me.”
“What?” Tang Zheng feigned a surprised face, although in his mind he had remembered her question and was now constructing a lie.
Kobayakawa Yumi repeated her question and fixed her gaze on Tang Zheng, waiting for his answer.
“Alright, I lied to you.
Actually, a friend from the internet sent me a picture.
She said if I could find clues from it and locate her, she would spend the summer with me and consider being my girlfriend.” Tang Zheng fabricated a half-true lie with supporting evidence.
He wasn’t worried about being exposed, and knowing women’s overflowing sympathy, perhaps she would provide more assistance.
Upon hearing his confession that he had tricked her, Yumi was filled with indignation.
Just as she was about to lash out, she was taken aback by this seemingly romantic love story.
Let me see.” Yumi was a bit incredulous, “Do you love her?”
“Yes.” Tang Zheng showed a decisive expression and handed over the photo, “Look at it in the sunlight, there’s a faint watermark in the top left corner.”
“It really is there.” Single until now, Yumi felt a touch of envy, How nice it is to have a man willing to go to such lengths for you, “Planning to continue searching?”
“Yes, but I suspect that the latter part of Ni-chome 7, number 18 is also fake.” Tang Zheng looked dejected as if he had lost hope, but inwardly he was considering how to get away.
“Why not stop, I’ll spend a few days with you in Kyoto.
We can experience the ancient charm of Pingan Shrine, the tranquility of Kiyomizu Temple, and the Geishas of Gion.
It’s your first time in Kyoto, you shouldn’t leave with regrets.” After uttering these words, Kobayakawa Yumi froze, scolding herself for being foolish.
In reality, she knew she was just jealous of the girl in the photo.
“Thank you, but I’m not in the mood.” Tang Zheng declined calmly while inwardly jolted, What is this policewoman trying to do?
Looking at the cherry blossoms fluttering in the April breeze, he secretly wondered if she had come into her mating season.
“Alright, have you ever thought that this was intentionally difficult by the girl?
Why didn’t she directly give you the address?” Yumi thought this foreign student was too naive.
It seemed romantic but really, he was just being toyed with.
The thought of the girl in the photo describing at a gathering how a fool couldn’t find the address made Yumi’s heart heavy with frustration.
Tang Zheng’s brows furrowed slightly as the topic seemed to veer in a strange direction.
“I’m going.” Having said these words, Yumi felt her cheeks flush, feeling extremely embarrassed.
She wanted to leave the bookstore but the floor was clean and slippery.
She fell and instinctively grasped for Tang Zheng beside her.
When his arm was grabbed, Tang Zheng reflexively wanted to wave it off.
Luckily, he held back.
However, due to this delay, he fell and landed on top of Yumi.
He squeezed the soft something in his hand and blushingly realized that he was touching Kobayakawa Yumi’s chest.
He awkwardly let go, and then saw those eyes close at hand.
“She seems to be expecting me to kiss her.” Tang Zheng was torn for two seconds before boldly kissing her.
It was the quickest way to get rid of her.
Kobayakawa Yumi was bewildered.
She felt the warmth from his lips, then a tongue pried open her mouth and entered.
After three seconds, she forcefully pushed Tang Zheng away and ran out of the bookstore.
“What would have happened if I had asked her to a love hotel to enjoy ourselves?” Tang Zheng sarcastically commented on the situation to himself, then thought about Zhang Yan. Discover more novels at novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Then the figures of Li Xinlan and Qin Yan began to revolve in his head.
He wasn’t sure what his feelings were.
“Ah, she really went.” When Tang Zheng reached the bookstore door, the police car was gone.
After he sighed in relief, he tried to figure out the route to his designated meeting point.
“I forgot to ask about a route to Nantan City.” After turning down a woman’s advances, Tang Zheng found that there were a few things he had not done.
He turned around to go back into the waiting hall.
Twenty minutes later, when he returned, he saw Little Fan Fan walking towards him.
She had a lollipop in each hand, licking away at them.
Lin Weiguo and the rest were following behind her, each carrying a 30-litre mountaineering bag.
“Tang Zheng, what are you doing here?
There’s only fifteen minutes left for the meeting, did you fail?” Zhang Yifeng sneered, patting his mountaineering bag, “We’ve already completed our mission.”
“Uncle, don’t listen to him.
Little Fan Fan did it oh.
I got seventy million Japanese yen, we exceeded our goal.” Little Fan Fan handed a lollipop to Tang Zheng, “Unfortunately, the gang members were not strong.
They only had some handguns and MP5s, and my plan to get more firepower failed.”
