"Creak~Creak..." With the soft sound of rubber tires rolling over the road, a red sports car slowly stopped in front of Ito Cheng who was standing on the roadside.

"Get in the car." Mai Kuraki, with her long hair spread naturally on the back of her head and a pair of large sunglasses on her face, looked at Ito Cheng from the slowly lowered window.

"It's really an honor to sit in a car with Mai as the driver." Ito walked around the front of the car, walked to the passenger seat on the left and sat down, while reaching out and grabbing the seat belt and fastening it to his chest. , while looking at him, he was wearing black trousers, a black large-collar T-shirt that completely exposed his neck and part of his collarbone to the air, a similarly black long-sleeved top, and a very slender gold necklace around his neck. , Kuraki Mai, who wore an earring that looked like a thin needle on her earlobe and her lips were painted with light paint, said with a smile.

Mai Kuraki ignored Ito Cheng's teasing, closed the car window again, started the car and drove away.

"This dress is nice. It looks good on you. It seems that you listened to me and dressed up before coming." Ito Cheng, who fastened his seat belt, looked up and down at the particularly slimming clothes worn by Kuraki Mai. Judged.

"Can you please stop being so sentimental?" Mai Kuraki said helplessly.

"That's not necessarily true. There has been an old saying in China since ancient times: Women should look good to please themselves!" Ito Cheng chuckled.

"You are still so shameless." Kuraki Mai said harshly.

"Tch, you started talking wrongly again. If you were really annoying, you would never have agreed to come out to eat with me." Ito Cheng looked at Mai Kuraki with a look of contempt on his face.

"I regret it now." Kuraki Mai said, and began to slow down the car, preparing to put Ito Cheng down on the side of the road.

"Hey, now that you're out, it's not that easy to go back." Ito Cheng deliberately looked like a bad guy and chuckled. Then he turned his hand over and a string of rustic silver bracelets appeared in his palm. He handed it to Kuraki Mai and said, "Here, I bought this after checking your preferences online before I came here. And when I was waiting for you just now, , and also consecrated it using the special techniques taught secretly by my family, so that the holder will have great luck and be free from all diseases."

"Thank you." Mai Kuraki took the bracelet with a free hand and thanked her.

"Of course. This bracelet can also be used as an exorcism tool. For example, if you encounter a supernatural phenomenon in a recording studio, it will definitely keep you safe." Ito Cheng continued.

"Is it as amazing as you say?" Mai Kuraki said with some disbelief.

"Our family has a heritage that goes back hundreds of years. We were members of the public in the early days. They are completely different from the psychic people on the street and those guys who make a living on the TV station. You will understand it after you have been with it for a long time. Yes." Ito Cheng said with a disdainful expression on his face.

"By the way. I'm not familiar with the membership-only restaurants that you celebrities often go to. Just drag me to any one." Ito Cheng finally returned to the topic.

"Are you sure you want me to treat you to dinner today instead of asking me to treat you to dinner?" Mai Kuraki glanced at Ito Cheng beside her and said speechlessly.

"Well, if you are not afraid of being recognized. I don't care, I can eat it anywhere." Ito Cheng said with an indifferent shrug.

"How did I get to know a guy like you?" Mai Kuraki sighed helplessly, then turned the steering wheel and turned the car around to drive towards a private restaurant she often went to.

Half an hour later, the sports car stopped in front of a restaurant with a rustic exterior decoration. Ito Cheng and Kuraki Mai stepped out of the car one after another. After throwing the car keys to the valet parking doorman, Kuraki Mai took Ito Cheng towards the restaurant door.

Kuraki Mai showed her membership card, and then walked into the restaurant with Ito Cheng.

The interior decoration of the restaurant is very simple and elegant. In the space of about 100 square meters, there are dozens of round tables covered with light pink tablecloths arranged in an orderly manner. Next to each round table are three dark wooden armchairs. Because it was dinner time, five or six of the tables were occupied by male and female guests, and these people were all related people in the entertainment industry, either brokers, well-known businessmen, or people from entertainment companies. Producers, of course, also include the restaurant's main customer groups -- well-known celebrities in the industry.

Of course, as an intimate restaurant, its area cannot be just this small. To the south of the lobby on the first floor, a spiral staircase with black iron fence handrails on both sides stands quietly, leading to the unknown second floor.

Mai Kuraki, who walked into the restaurant with Ito Cheng, briefly glanced at the environment in the hall, then walked to the stairs without stopping, and climbed up to the second floor of the restaurant step by step.

Soon, a hall decorated like wine and surrounded by boxes appeared in the eyes of Ito Cheng who followed Kuraki Mai and walked up. At the same time, a faint sound of music reached the ears of Ito Cheng, who had particularly sensitive ears, from the stairs connecting the second and third floors.

"Obtain a private room for me." Mai Kuraki ordered the young waiter who came over.

"Okay, please come with me." The waiter agreed, leaned forward and stretched out his arms as a guide, and then led Kuraki Mai and Ito Cheng to one of the unmanned private rooms.

The box is not big, about ten square meters, with a long table with hard glass pattern placed in the center of the box, and two rows of leather sofas that can accommodate three people each are placed on both sides of the square table.

"Give me a piece of this, this, this, this, and this..." Mai Kuraki took off her coat and sat down on the sofa, reaching for the menu on the table. After browsing carefully for a while, she said the waiter said.

"Look at what you want to order." Then, Kuraki Mai handed the menu to Ito Cheng and said.

For Japanese food, despite being reborn for so long. Ito Cheng is still not used to eating very much, so after ordering two or three items casually, he inserted the menu into the plywood on the table against the wall and ended the ordering.

The waiter who took note of what they ordered turned around and left the box, leaving the space for Ito Cheng and Kuraki Mai again.

"What are you doing recently?" Ito Cheng asked looking at Kuraki Mai who had taken off her disguise.

"You're bored at home, how about you?" Mai Kuraki asked at the same time as she answered.

"I'm... very busy, basically running around the world. For example, this morning, I just came back from the UK." Ito Cheng said with a smile.

"I remember you should be in college?" Mai Kuraki looked at Ito Cheng with disbelief and said.

"Originally, yes, but it happened that a monster war happened when I was in school. As clergy, we need to save the world. Rescue ordinary people like you. So I took the opportunity to start a career." Ito Cheng rested his elbows on the table , crossed his hands and fingers in front of his mouth, and said with a helpless shrug.

"Just you? Saving the world? You're not kidding." Mai Kuraki sneered as if she heard a joke.

"Didn't I say it before? Our family has hundreds of years of heritage, and we were a [public servant] in the early years. Even if we have returned to civilian status now, we still have to bear some responsibilities." Since the battle with the demons . Basically all Japanese people know that there are monsters in the country, and even the entire Kyoto Prefecture has been occupied by Kyuubi. Therefore, there is absolutely no problem in treating this kind of thing as a conversation topic in private, so Ito Chengcai said it so straightforwardly.

Of course, this kind of thing is not without taboos. For example, in front of foreign tourists, this kind of thing is not allowed to be said under any circumstances. If you are discovered, you may even be charged with criminal liability!

"That's really an honor. I actually have the opportunity to sit with a hero like you." Mai Kuraki was still dubious, but it didn't affect her from continuing to tease Ito Cheng with slightly sarcastic words.

"Both, each other, being able to sit with you, a national singer, is not something ordinary people can enjoy." Ito Cheng retorted with a smile.

The two of them just chatted about nothing, until the waiter knocked on the door, opened the door and walked into the box, placing the dishes in his hands in front of the two of them.

"Senior Mai?" Just as the waiter opened the door for the second time and came to deliver the food, a slightly surprised female voice suddenly called out.

"Sarina? Xixia?" Hearing the greeting, Kuraki Mai subconsciously turned her head to look out the door, and then greeted with a surprised look on her face.

Seeing that Mai Kuraki recognized her, two women named Rina and Yuka opened the door and walked into the box together, saying hello to Mai Kuraki.

"Mai-senpai, long time no see." She was wearing jeans and a dark blue jacket with a hood. She had short ear-length hair dyed brown. She was taller than Kuraki Mai, probably over 1.6 meters tall, because of her age due to her makeup. Said Asakura Mai Saina, a woman who looked to be only 27 or 28 years old. Then he looked curiously at Ito Cheng who was sitting aside, with a gossipy light shining in his eyes.

After all, Mai Kuraki is notoriously low-key in the industry, and she is still single. Suddenly seeing a young man appear next to Mai Kuraki, who is alone, it is inevitable that she can't restrain her desire to explore her heart.

Similarly, the woman named Xixia beside her also frequently laid her eyes on Ito Cheng.

Seeing this, Kuraki Mai had no choice but to introduce the three of them to each other with some headache. First, Mai Kuraki pointed to the woman named Rina next to her and introduced, "These two are my juniors, and this is Rina Ainai."

"Hello." Ito Cheng stood up and greeted.

"This is Saegashi Yukari." Then, Mai Kuraki pointed to a long-sleeved pullover T-shirt wearing off-white canvas pants, black sleeves and white clothes, a warm coat with a fur collar, and a head of hair that looked a little light brown. Xi Xia, a woman who simply tied it into a ponytail at the back of her head and was about the same height as Aine Rina, both over 1.6 meters tall and looked a year or two younger than Aine Rina, introduced.

"Hello." Ito Cheng greeted again.

"This is my friend, Ito Cheng, an outsider." Kuraki Mai pointed at Ito Cheng and introduced.

"Hello." Aine Rina and Saegashi Yukari both saluted and said hello.

"Sit down and eat together." Ito Cheng greeted the two of them with a smile.

"No, we just finished eating. I won't disturb your meal. Let's take our leave first, Mai-senpai." Although the fire of gossip was burning in her heart, Aine Rina, who also knew that she shouldn't stay here, quickly refused, Then he and Saegashi Yukari saluted Kuraki Mai and said.

"Okay, be careful on the road." Mai Kuraki said with concern.

"Yes, I'm sorry!" Aine Rina and Saegashi Yukari saluted again, then exited the box together and disappeared behind the re-closed box door.

"It's tragic now, and I don't know what will happen in the future. I won't be able to explain it at that time." Mai Kuraki, who watched Rina Aine and Yuka Saegusa leave, sat back on the sofa and rested on her elbows. On the table, he lightly covered his forehead with the palms of his hands and said as if he had a headache.

"Just pass it on, you know I'm happy to be your boyfriend." Ito Cheng, who also sat back on the sofa, turned around and picked up the chopsticks in front of him, picked up a piece of food and put it on the small plate in front of him with a smile. road.

"You have a beautiful idea." Kuraki Mai said unhappily, then she also picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks and started eating it.

"You should be the one who is truly beautiful. A high-quality man like me is hard to find even with a lantern. Now that he has been delivered to your door, you still don't want him. Don't wait until I become the boyfriend of another woman and you will regret it to death. "Ito Cheng said with an expression that looks like you don't know what to do.

"Then you should quickly fall into the arms of another woman and make me regret it." Kuraki Mai replied not to be outdone.

"Okay. Tomorrow I will go to your economic company in the name of looking for you, and then randomly find a good-looking female artist to appear in front of reporters, spread some scandals, and see what you do." Ito Cheng has no idea. He paused and immediately replied.

"As well as the two juniors named Aine Rina and Saegusa Yukari just now, I can definitely find them to create some scandals to stimulate you." Before Kuraki Mai could react, Ito Cheng said again with an unscrupulous look.

"You're such a hateful guy, go to hell!" Upon hearing this, Mai Kuraki reached out angrily, pulled out a few napkins, kneaded them into a ball, and threw them at Ito Cheng's face.

"Hehe." Ito Cheng casually grabbed the paper ball in his hand, threw it aside and laughed strangely, but did not use words to stimulate Mai Kuraki.

In this way, while chatting and making trouble, the two of them ended their lunch after more than forty minutes. Then when leaving the private club, Ito Cheng reached out and took the car key from the valet parking doorman. He lowered himself into the cab, started the car, and drove Mai Kuraki to a nearby movie theater to watch the latest movie. Japanese horror film. (To be continued...)
