In the end, thousands of words condensed into just one sentence:
"Brother Zheng, take care of yourself!"
Hanging up the phone, Fan Bingbing took several deep breaths before calming down her restless mood.
Luo Zheng was good in every way, except that he didn't take care of his own body.
Fan Bingbing silently added a note to her pad: Traditional Chinese medicine for nourishment.
Over in Neon, Luo Zheng tossed his phone aside.
He started playing ball with Nagase Masami, who was constantly stirring up trouble.
I have to say, the cooperation level of Sakura Girls is high.
The next day.
Ding-dong!
The doorbell rang, and Luo Zheng put on his shorts and went out to open the door.
"Who is it!"
Outside the door was another string of Japanese, leaving him completely bewildered.
I didn't order Room service!
Besides, the timing was off.
He opened the door.
Luo Zheng's eyes lit up, and he instantly sobered up quite a bit.
Standing before him was a Sakura Girl as sweet as an Angel.
She had a smooth oval face, slightly baby-fat, but compared to the assertive look in Nagase Masami's eyes, her facial contours were incredibly soft.
She possessed a pure, transparent, and soul-healing "oxygen-like" aura.
Seeing Luo Zheng's confused expression, the Sakura Girl quickly switched to English: "Hello, I am the guide commissioned by Mr. Kore-eda Hirokazu to take you sightseeing in Tokyo."
She generously extended her hand. "My name is Aragaki Yui. Please take care of me!"
Luo Zheng was even more confused now.
He knew who Aragaki Yui was, but the age seemed a bit off!
He wanted to ask, but decided against it after some thought.
"Hello, then I'll trouble you to look after me for these two days."
Luo Zheng held the other party's fair, tender hand and gently shook it.
He had thought Nojima Shinji and Kore-eda Hirokazu had agreed to find Nagase Masami for him together.
He didn't expect that they had each found one person.
Is this the hospitality of Neon people? It's too damn generous!
"It's my pleasure. You are too kind."
Aragaki Yui bowed slightly, smiling sweetly.
She thought to herself: He's even more handsome than he is on TV!
Originally, when she was selected by the Newspaper Editor-in-Chief to be a companion guide, Aragaki Yui was quite reluctant.
What kind of companion guide? It sounded improper right away.
She had planned to give her first time to her first love boyfriend.
But when the editor-in-chief pointed to the handsome young man on TV at the Tokyo Film Festival and said this was her guiding target, Aragaki Yui was tempted.
Then, upon hearing that he was also an international director with a listed company in Hollywood, Aragaki Yui immediately accepted.
She was afraid that if she hesitated, her 'good sisters' nearby would snatch the opportunity.
This Hollywood director was completely different from the chest-hair-covered white men she imagined.
Especially when he wasn't wearing a shirt now, those well-defined muscles were truly enticing.
Aragaki Yui's eyes sparkled, and her cheeks were slightly flushed.
"Come in and have a seat!"
Seeing that the girl was suddenly a little airheaded, Luo Zheng didn't think much of it.
He stepped aside and led her into the Room.
As soon as Aragaki Yui sat on the sofa, she saw Nagase Masami, wrapped in a bath towel with her hair still dripping Water, walk out.
After sufficient exercise in the morning, she habitually took a shower.
Seeing this scene, Aragaki Yui immediately panicked.
This... did I come at the wrong time?
"Let me introduce you. This is Nagase Masami. She is also my guide, just like you."
Aragaki Yui instantly stood up and waved her hands, saying, "Director Luo, you misunderstood. I am not that kind of guide!"
Hearing this, Nagase Masami glared with wide eyes, just about to retort.
Luo Zheng cut in first: "You misunderstood. She isn't that kind of guide either."
Only then did Aragaki Yui carefully observe Nagase Masami. She was tall, stunningly beautiful, and looked like a lotus flower emerging from Water after a fresh shower.
She really didn't look like a girl who did that kind of work.
Furthermore, her appearance felt familiar.
Meeting Nagase Masami's furious gaze, she smiled sheepishly.
She suddenly realized: "Ah! You are Morishita Naomi!"
Luo Zheng was stunned: "What? Does this girl have another stage name?"
Nagase Masami quickly explained that this was the name of the character in a movie she filmed, Coming Home from the Underworld.
Aragaki Yui had recognized it.
After a round of conversation, the relationship between the two girls advanced rapidly.
To outsiders, they looked like a pair of good sisters.
But Luo Zheng noticed that the wariness deep in Nagase Masami's eyes was growing stronger.
With a competitor arriving, she naturally wasn't as relaxed and happy as she appeared.
Especially since the competitor was a youthful beauty who was in no way inferior to her.
She muttered inwardly: Director Luo is truly an international director; he's too popular.
"Masami, go change your clothes first.
Yui, please arrange today's sightseeing itinerary. I have to attend a film festival premiere tonight."
Luo Zheng looked at the two girls and pulled them out of their daze.
"Understood, Director Luo."
After Nagase Masami entered the bedroom, Aragaki Yui turned her head and suggested to Director Luo: "Director Luo, how about we go to Senso-ji Temple today? It is the oldest existing Buddhist temple in Tokyo Metropolitan Area.
It highly represents the architectural characteristics of Neon, and you can also draw fortune slips and pray for blessings."
To be honest, Luo Zheng had no interest in religious or faith-based attractions, as he was a staunch scientific materialist.
However, there weren't many places to go, so taking photos of architecture and beautiful girls would suffice.
Luo Zheng nodded in agreement, packing various Cameras and Lenses into his bag.
These were his key tools for gathering inspiration.
As an excellent director, photography was also a required course.
After the equipment was packed, Nagase Masami also finished getting ready and walked out.
Learning they were going to Senso-ji Temple, she pouted slightly, hooked Luo Zheng's arm, and gave him an enticing suggestion.
Hot Springs.
Luo Zheng's eyes lit up.
This little girl, why didn't she mention such a great place sooner?
Since he had already agreed to Aragaki Yui, it wasn't good to back out now, so he decided to postpone this activity until tomorrow.
Perhaps then he could stage a scene of One Dragon Playing with Two Phoenixes.
Currently, little Yui was clearly still a bit reserved.
Led by the two girls, they quickly arrived at Senso-ji Temple.
Luo Zheng took out his Camera and began capturing the beautiful scenery.
As Tokyo's most iconic architecture, there were quite a few tourists visiting from various countries.
As they walked, the two girls introduced the historical stories of the various buildings to Luo Zheng.
Nagase Masami, who was more knowledgeable, spoke eloquently.
Aragaki Yui provided supplements nearby, but most of the time, she looked like a tourist herself.
Having outdone her competitor, Nagase Masami was very happy.
She held Luo Zheng's arm even tighter.
This made it difficult for him to take good photos.
Luo Zheng bought them some Snacks so he could finally pull away.
The two girls huddled together sharing the Delicious Food, and their topics gradually increased.
The more they talked, the more they felt a sense of camaraderie.
Taking advantage of their familiarity, Aragaki Yui couldn't help but ask:
"How long have you known Director Luo?"
"One day."
"Ah! You moved in together after only one day?"
Aragaki Yui covered her mouth, greatly shocked.
"Because I like him!"
Nagase Masami said with a look of course.
"What do you like about him?"
"There's a lot: physique, looks, talent, and... energy!"
When she finished speaking, Nagase Masami leaned close to Aragaki Yui's ear, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.
The other party froze upon hearing it, then blushed deeply.
