Originally, when Xiao Yun arrived in Yamaguchi Prefecture, he wanted to contact Inaka Hiraiko. However, considering his current special identity and the fact that he had changed his appearance, meeting her would be quite inconvenient, so he abandoned the idea.
Moreover, he did not really understand what kind of woman Inaka Hiraiko was, so it would not be wise to recklessly reveal himself to her...
Long Yan could not resist Xiao Yun's repeated persuasion and agreed to try the delicacy of Pufferfish.
The two of them left the inn and soon spotted a restaurant named "Fresh Residence," which specialized in Pufferfish dishes.
In restaurants in the Island Nation, there are usually artificial rock formations at the entrance or in the lobby, along with flowing water and green trees, creating an elegant and beautiful environment.
Most of the waitstaff wore kimonos; they were young and beautiful, making for a pleasing sight.
As soon as they entered "Fresh Residence," Xiao Yun's eyes widened in surprise. He never expected that the young Boss Lady sitting behind the counter would be...
Uh, am I seeing things because of her beauty?
At that moment, Xiao Yun reached out a hand and rubbed his eyes vigorously.
Meanwhile, his gaze swept back to the Boss Lady behind the counter—
He saw that she had a tall figure and was dressed in a sexy Korean-style oversized black T-shirt paired with loose green cropped pants. A gentle smile graced her face, making her look like a serene flower by the water.
Even more eye-catching than her figure was her appearance: her eyebrows were striking, her eyes bright, her skin as smooth as snow, and her delicate face was nearly flawless from every angle—exquisite to the extreme.
This figure, this outfit, this aura... Xiao Yun couldn't help but feel his mouth water, swallowing hard as he secretly pondered how such a coincidence could occur, running into her here!
Indeed, the exquisite Boss Lady before him was none other than Inaka Hiraiko.
Xiao Yun was so excited that he almost blurted out her name.
Beside him, Long Yan noticed that this guy was staring at another man's woman, unable to tear his gaze away. She felt furious inside; how could he lose himself like this in front of a beauty?
She reached over and pinched his waist hard, causing Xiao Yun to nearly cry out in pain.
Damn,
Mud Horse, could you be a little gentler?
Xiao Yun cursed silently but didn't dare to voice it.
At this moment, Xiao Yun's gaze remained fixed on the Boss Lady behind the counter.
Should I go up and introduce myself?
Sigh, maybe not. It’s just a fleeting encounter; who knows if she even remembers me? Besides, I carry the weight of my country’s responsibilities; how can I let my heroic spirit falter in front of a small woman?
One two one... Xiao Yun marched past the counter with a standard military stride, pretending not to recognize Inaka Hiraiko, walking by calmly and composedly.
"Sir, do you need any service?" Just as Xiao Yun was trying to act cool, a young waitress in a kimono approached him with lively steps.
Is there anything else here besides food?
Spiritual Sense scanned the surroundings, and Xiao Yun realized he was overthinking; there was nothing here but food, no other services.
When people say that, it is a form of politeness.
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Uh, please give me a quiet private room. My wife and I would like to have something to eat..."
"Sir and Madam, please follow me!" Waitress immediately led him and Long Yan behind a screen into a private room.
The dining tables in Island Nation are generally quite low, requiring guests to sit cross-legged at the table to eat.
Xiao Yun ordered various dishes related to Pufferfish, including different preparations like sashimi and grilled options... he ended up ordering more than twenty types.
Anyone who has been to Island Nation knows that the cuisine is meant to be enjoyed visually, meaning that the dishes emphasize aesthetic appeal. To satisfy this visual beauty, each dish is often quite small, so for food lovers, if you order too little, you simply won't be full.
Although each dish may not be large, the prices are very high. Island Nation places great importance on health in its cuisine. Some summarize the characteristics of Japanese cuisine as "Five Flavors, Five Colors, Five Methods":
"Five Flavors" are sweet, sour, spicy, bitter, and hot; "Five Colors" are white, yellow, red, green, and black; "Five Methods" are raw, boiled, grilled, fried, and steamed. These dishes generally use little oil; even when fried, they use vegetable oil. They are low in calories and fat but high in nutrition.
In any case, during this trip to Island Nation, Xiao Yun wouldn't have to spend his own money. Old Dragon had given him a card that is accepted worldwide.
If there's free food available, why not enjoy it?
If there's a bargain, one should take advantage of it.
Moreover, in front of Long Yan, Xiao Yun felt he couldn't be too petty.
What surprised Xiao Yun was that when the dishes were served, it was Inaka Hiraiko who personally brought them in.
She entered the private room carrying a plate of Pufferfish dish, her slim waist swaying beautifully.
After placing the plate on the table, Inaka Hiraiko smiled slightly at Xiao Yun, then knelt beside him, supporting herself on her knees. She poured a glass of wine for both Long Yan and Xiao Yun and said, "Sir, you are from Huaxia, right?"
Her voice was incredibly beautiful, as crisp and pleasant as jade beads falling onto a plate.
Upon hearing Inaka Hiraiko's words, Xiao Yun was momentarily taken aback and asked, "How did you know?"
Inaka Hiraiko replied with a smile, "I can tell from the aura you exude; only Huaxia people possess such a unique and transcendent quality like yours!"
Hearing her words, Xiao Yun couldn't help but be stunned. It was a pity he didn't have a mirror with him; otherwise, he would want to take a look at himself to see what made his aura so different.
Even Long Yan, upon hearing Inaka Hiraiko's words, couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yun a few more times, wondering what this Japanese woman meant. What extraordinary quality did Xiao Yun possess besides some special abilities?
Could it be that this woman came over specifically to flirt with him?
Xiao Yun looked at Inaka Hiraiko and smiled, saying, "Boss Lady, I didn't quite understand what you meant!"
Inaka Hiraiko smiled slightly and said, "Sir, what I said is sincere; I am particularly interested in men from Huaxia with unique qualities!"
Wow, this woman is quite direct in her speech.
Xiao Yun smiled at her and fell silent.
Inaka Hiraiko glanced at Long Yan, who was sitting next to Xiao Yun, and asked him, "Who is this young lady?"
"Oh, she is my wife..." Xiao Yun quickly replied.
After hearing Xiao Yun's words, Long Yan rolled his eyes at him, thinking to himself, when did I become your wife?
Anyway, this guy's biggest characteristic is his flowery speech, so she might as well go along with his nonsense.
Xiao Yun's eyes scanned Inaka Hiraiko; from her hairstyle, it seemed she was already married. Her long hair was tightly gathered up and secured with a tortoiseshell comb.
In many places in the Japanese Archipelago, many ancient customs of Huaxia are still preserved.
He wondered who her husband was.
Uh—Xiao Yun realized he was overthinking; who she married had nothing to do with him.
After hearing Xiao Yun's introduction, Inaka Hiraiko looked deeply at Long Yan again and smiled at Xiao Yun, saying, "Your wife is as beautiful as a Celestial Being; you are truly fortunate, sir!"
Xiao Yun smiled at Long Yan and said, "Yes, my wife is indeed quite virtuous."
Inaka Hiraiko smiled slightly and said, "Hmm, I can see that your wife has a supportive demeanor. With such a virtuous wife, your career will surely flourish in the future!"
Hearing Inaka Hiraiko's words, even Long Yan was about to lose control. Damn it, this Island Nation woman really knows how to flatter; do I really have a supportive demeanor?
Unfortunately, there was no mirror in this private room; otherwise, she couldn't help but want to study her changed appearance in front of it.
"Boss Lady, I'm sure my wife would be very happy to hear what you just said!" Xiao Yun casually wrapped his arm around Long Yan's slender waist, almost pulling her into his embrace.
Long Yan softly scolded him, "Please be more respectful in front of others!"
At that moment, Inaka Hiraiko suddenly changed the topic and said, "Sir, since you come from Huaxia, I would like to inquire about someone. I wonder if you know them?"
Xiao Yun asked, "Who is this person?"
"In Galaxy City, it's Xiao Yun!" Inaka Hiraiko replied.
As soon as she said this, not only was Xiao Yun taken aback, but Long Yan was also shocked.
Xiao Yun thought to himself, could it be that because of our brief encounter at Mirror Lake Park, Inaka Hiraiko is still thinking about me?
If that's the case, she truly is a lovesick woman.
He immediately had a feeling that during this trip to the Island Nation, he might very well have some story with Inaka Hiraiko.
