desire to be loved

In just three to 10 minutes, they came to a place full of quaint atmosphere from modern technological facilities, and set foot on the most famous "Hanami Koji" in Gion, giving people the illusion of coming to the Edo period.

The houses on both sides are mainly traditional wooden machiya buildings, only two stories high, with dark brown toned houses with gray and black tile roofs, elegant pine trees in the front courtyard, black signboards on white background and dim yellow lights lit in the evening Lanterns create this antique world.

Being in this dreamy scenery like a movie, the pace slows down unconsciously.

Roy carefully appreciates the houses on both sides, which are also dominated by traditional buildings, but the feeling here is completely different from the famous old streets in Taiwan. Its planning and development are more perfect than in Taiwan. From this kind of place It can be seen how much a country attaches importance to historical sites.

Looking at the sparsely populated alleys, except for a few Japanese chefs walking through it, I couldn't tell what was going on inside.

"The roads and houses here look similar. Jie, do you know what is going on in the alley?" In order to gain a deeper understanding, Roy stepped into the quiet alley.

Luo Jie silently followed behind him, "As far as I know, Hanami Xiaolu and the alleys around here are mostly restaurants and teahouses."

"If you say it's a restaurant, it's too secretive! You can't tell what kind of food it's selling. If you enter by accident, can you get out?" Roy smiled meaningfully.He stopped in front of a certain house with only the shop name "Liyuan" written on it, and he poked his head carefully, trying to find out an answer.

Luo Jie stood behind him, and smiled to help him explain his doubts: "This place mainly serves high-end kaiseki cuisine, and some of them can also watch geisha performances. I think a meal should cost tens of thousands of yuan."

"Then shall we have dinner here tonight?" Roy looked back and asked with curled lips.

"No, we're going to have dinner in the hotel. I've made an appointment in advance for 05:30, and I walked slowly to the hotel from here. The time is just right. The hotel's meals may not be as high-end and luxurious as here, but the evaluation is very good."

He had very high expectations for the hotel he was staying at tonight, and he had searched the Internet for reviews from travelers beforehand, all of which were positive.

Roy didn't show a disappointed expression, but responded softly: "That's it..." His gaze remained on the closed wooden sliding door.

Seeing his thoughtful expression, Luo Jie changed his mind and asked his opinion: "Do you still want to eat here?"

Roy shook his head, "No, we can just eat in the hotel." In fact, he was just curious about the decoration inside, not really wanting to eat high-end food, and in his opinion, things are either expensive or expensive. Well, it depends on who you share with.

Although he didn't express his thoughts clearly, Luo Jie just wanted to please him, "We can eat here instead..."

"Let's go!" Before he could finish speaking, Roy walked out of the alley by himself.

Luo Jie smiled slightly, and followed him out of the alley.

Back on Hanami Koji Road, both of them noticed that a lot of people had poured into the road, and the light from the sun had also weakened. Kyoto at dusk showed a different style.

They continued to walk leisurely, and when they saw a woman with heavy makeup coming from a distance, Roy called out to the people beside him, "Look!"

The woman is wearing a light blue kimono, with chrysanthemum patterns embroidered on the silk fabric, and shoes about two inches high on her feet.

When the tourists on the road saw the geisha appearing, they almost stopped, watching her every move. Those with cameras in their hands took photos with their cameras, in order to store her wonderful figure in their memory books.

The first time I saw someone dressed like this on the road, Roy felt it was very fresh and interesting, until he passed her by, he still didn't look away.

"Why does a geisha paint her face so white?" He asked curiously when he saw that she had even painted the back of her neck and shoulders with white powder.

"Guess it?"

"Isn't it because I don't want people to recognize who she is!" Roy first thought of this idea.There is no trace of expression on the whole face, giving people a sense of mystery.

Luo Jie raised his lips and smiled, "Think seriously."

"Should... it symbolizes a certain meaning?" He looked at Luo Jie with uncertain eyes.

Luo Jie did not embarrass him, and immediately announced the answer: "The white powder on the face of a geisha represents the "female mask". There are also small rouge lips, which represent reticence and prudence; as a geisha, you can't show your true emotions. They please men, cater to men, and let men relax completely. However, the status of geisha It’s not a prostitute, it’s just a prostitute who doesn’t sell herself.”

Roy frowned slightly, "People in ancient times worked really hard to make a living. Fortunately, I was not born in ancient times, nor was I born as a woman." At first he thought that geisha was an industry that accompanied customers to drink, laugh, and sell themselves , just like the hotel culture, but after listening to Luo Jie's explanation, he began to be in awe of the geisha industry.

Luo Jie smiled, "Did you know that the first geisha were all men, and they were slowly replaced by women in the [-]th century. If we were born in ancient times, you must be the most popular geisha, even if I have to go bankrupt, I will definitely go to cheer you on every day.”

He knew that there was a geisha experience here, and if he asked Roy to go, Roy would definitely lose his temper with him, so it's better to use fantasy.

After hearing his nasty words, Roy trembled all over his body, "Oh my God! How can you say such things without blushing, and why must I be a geisha? I don't want to pretend to be a woman. In your heart, you want me to be a woman?" Star pupil narrowed into a narrow line, he asked displeasedly.

If Luo Jie really thought so, his heart would be hurt.

It's only natural for a man to match a woman. Even though he envied a woman to love a man openly, he never thought of falling in love with him in the same way as a man and a woman.

At this time, hidden in his displeased expression was a turbulent heart.

"It's not Xiaoyi like this! I don't think of you as a woman, and I don't want you to be a woman. Just be yourself, because I love you as a man." I didn't expect him to be so sensitive , Luo Jie explained in a panic.

Seeing Roy looking at him suspiciously, he looked back at him firmly.

"Okay! I believe you." Roy finally stretched his frowning brows.

Seeing Luo Jie's expression of relief, he jokingly said: "But... I have thought about how wonderful it would be if you were a woman."

Luo Jie was stunned, "What? Are you... sure you think so? Then you won't be able to enjoy... No, maybe you want to hug me?" Shaking his head in horror, he didn't dare to imagine such a thing.

"If you want me to hug you, I think I might...'not lift'." The female version of Luo Jie appeared in his mind, and he pressed on top of him, Roy laughed out loud.

Luo Jie was amused by his words, "Look, you are destined to be hugged by me." Only he knows how attractive Roy looks on the bed, and of course only he can appreciate it.

Seeing through his thoughts, Roy pouted and said, "Don't think about those nasty things in broad daylight." He deliberately walked to the other side of the path to keep a distance from him.

"Do you know what I'm thinking?" Luo Jie said playfully.

Seeing that Roy ignored him and was about to follow up, his shoulders were lightly touched a few times, and a soft female voice came from behind in the next second.

"Excuse me, can you take a picture for us?"

Luo Jie turned around, and when he saw the owner of the voice, he smiled suddenly.

Feeling as if he had seen his face before, the woman slightly opened her lips, "You helped me at the station just now..."

"You're not the man at the station just now, what a coincidence to meet you again!" Du Xiaowei who was beside her was the first to speak out for her.

After walking a few steps, he found that Luo Jie hadn't followed. Roy turned around and saw these two women again. He straightened his face and stayed quietly by the side without making any gestures.

"I'm sorry, I'm going to trouble you again this time!" She was already embarrassed enough to ask a stranger for help, but when she saw him, Du Xiaoqin became inexplicably ashamed.

She didn't expect to meet him twice on the same day and ask him for help, so she can only say that they are really destined.

"It's okay." Luo Jie didn't show any impatience.

Attracted by his smile, Du Xiaoqin raised her eyes to observe his facial features carefully.A pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes that can discharge electricity and slightly raised sexy thin lips completely exude the charm of a mature man. He is a man who will fascinate people at a glance.

Look slowly from top to bottom.This man is really tall... about 180 centimeters, tall and strong, even if he is only wearing a monochrome flat-neck sweater and a dark coat, he can still see his noble taste.

"Didn't you want me to take pictures for you?" He held out his hand, gesturing for her to hand over the camera.

"Oh... that's right!" Du Xiaoqin looked away shyly, and handed over the digital camera in his hand.

Regarding her sister's abnormal behavior, Du Xiaowei probably guessed why.

"Sister, let's take a photo here!" She hooked Du Xiaoqin's hand and led her to a place with a beautiful view.

After taking the photo, Du Xiaoqin asked kindly: "That's right! Would you like to take a photo for you?"

Sensing a gaze staring at her, and finding the owner of the gaze, she changed her words, "Would you like to help you take a picture together?"

Luo Jie didn't respond immediately, but instead walked up to Roy, "Xiao Yi, shall we take a group photo together? I remember we didn't take pictures together after graduating from university."

Hearing what he said, Roy realized that the two of them hadn't taken pictures together for a long time. The last photo taken with Luo Jie was wearing a bachelor's uniform when they graduated. In the next five years, they were like two parallel lines Generally, although they know each other's existence, they don't have any intersection.

"Okay, then please take a picture for us." After passing the camera in his hand to Du Xiaoqin, he came to Luo Jie and stood side by side with him.

Seeing that he deliberately kept a distance from him, Luo Jie deliberately put his arms around his shoulders, and pressed the two of them close together.

"Jie!?" Roy turned his head to look at him in surprise, but when he turned his head, he found that the two were so close that the tips of their noses almost touched each other.

His heartbeat stopped for a beat, and he was so nervous that his heart almost jumped out of his throat. "You... why are you so close."

Luo Jie knew what he was worried about, and he clenched his trembling body tightly with his big palms, reminding him: "Don't think about anything, just look at the camera and smile."

Feeling a burst of heat from his shoulders, it seemed to give Roy courage, and his lips that had been pressed together just now finally broke into a smile.

And the camera in Du Xiaoqin's hand also managed to capture this moment.

Seeing her put down the camera, Roy's tense nerves instantly relaxed. He took the camera back to her and watched the results of the photo.

After seeing the photo, he smiled and praised generously: "It's a good photo, thank you." The figure in the photo is of medium size, and the street scene of Hanami Koji is just behind him, which looks very artistic.

He was glad they had a photo together, it was a very memorable photo.Because this photo is not just a travel record, but a proof of their love.

"Let me take a look too." Luo Jie came to him, looking at the photos through the two-inch screen on the camera.

Most people would first pay attention to how they looked in the photos, but he only paid attention to the expression on Roy's face.The slightly curved eyes and the faintly revealing expression of a happy smile are exactly the same as when the two are usually alone.

He approached Roy's ear, and whispered in a volume that only the two of them could hear: "Look, do we look like a couple like this... um..." His brows that were originally in high spirits suddenly frowned.

Roy elbowed his stomach and managed to stop the suffix from coming out of his mouth.

Seeing this scene, Du Xiaowei, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help being curious about the relationship between the two.

"I just heard you mentioned that you graduated from university. Are you two classmates? It seems that you have a very good relationship, and you even went on a trip together." She asked tentatively.To be honest, the interaction between the two just now scared her a little, and she even had the illusion that they were flirting.

"We are not classmates." Roy denied her speculation.

"It's not a classmate, it's..." Du Xiaowei blinked her eyes and looked at him, as if waiting for the next sentence.

Seeing that Roy was unwilling to explain further, Luo Jie responded with a mysterious answer: "We are relatives." The black eyes looked at Roy and gave him a meaningful look.

Du Xiaowei suddenly couldn't tell whether he said "relative" or "lover", so she froze for a moment.

"So you are brothers. It just so happens that the two of us are sisters." Du Xiaoqin's thoughts were relatively simple, and what he thought of was a normal relationship.

Luo Jie just smiled and didn't reply, while Roy responded perfunctorily, as if he was not very interested in her words.

Seeing the vastly different reactions of the two brothers, Du Xiaowei was confused again.But right now is not the time to delve into this issue, she puts her doubts in her heart and focuses on her sister's affairs first.

"By the way, my name is Du Xiaowei, she is my sister Du Xiaoqin, I don't know how to address you?" She thought that her sister would really like to know his name.

"I am Luo Jie, he is..."

"Roy." Not wanting to hear him introduce himself as his younger brother, Roy volunteered his name.

Du Xiaowei smiled, thinking: They are really brothers!Now that you know the name, the next step is of course to create opportunities to get along.

She boldly asked: "Do you have any plans later? Do you want to go shopping with us?" It sounded like an ordinary invitation, but there was a scheming behind it.

"Xiaowei." Du Xiaoqin hinted with her eyes not to go too far.

"It's rare to meet fellow countrymen abroad. It's okay for everyone to get to know each other." Du Xiaowei asked her not to be too reserved.

While the two sisters were talking, Roy glared at Luo Jie, clearly expressing that he didn't want them to get involved.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Du, we'll go back to the hotel for dinner later." Luo Jie quickly declined them.

Du Xiaowei showed a look of disappointment, "Is that so..." But she quickly cheered up, "Then which hotel are you staying at?"

Seeing her younger sister becoming more and more clueless, Du Xiaoqin stopped her, "Du Xiaowei, don't be so rude!"

"Got it." Du Xiaowei stuck out her tongue.

Noticing Roy's disdainful gaze, Du Xiaoqin said sensibly: "Sorry, Mr. Luo, we have to catch up with the next schedule, so I won't bother you." She found a reason to leave without breaking the etiquette.

"Then goodbye." Roy immediately answered with a signature smile.

The two sisters glanced at him, and waved goodbye awkwardly: "Bye, bye."

Seeing their figures gradually disappearing in the crowd, Luo Jie sighed and said, "Really, do you have to be so obvious?" The words just now were simply driving people away.

"How are you doing?" Roy raised an eyebrow and asked back.

Seeing his questioning face, Luo Jie smiled and said, "No." Although Roy was a little rude, he was happy to see him react like this, because it meant that Roy cared about him very much.

"Shall we continue shopping?"

"Of course! Didn't you say that there is a temple at the end of this road that you can visit." As soon as the two sisters left, Roy's mood "suddenly brightened", and he continued to move forward.

"But what if we meet them there?" Luo Jie had a premonition that the pair of sisters would visit Jianren Temple, and their next itinerary would also be there.

Roy looked back and smiled, "Then I'll leave you there, and let you be eaten by those two hungry beasts." In other words, those two women are too good at watching their words!He didn't even show his face. They still don't know how to retreat when they are in trouble. He really admires the self-confidence of modern women and the spirit of daring to chase and love.

It can only be said that women are treacherous and cunning, intelligent creatures who are good at using their own nature. They will use words, smiles, acting skills, and casual touches to seduce men.

In this world, there are only two women who are the most harmless and non-threatening to him: mother and Luo Tingting.

Luo Jie was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "You are willing."

"People say, 'If you give up, you get something', maybe I can meet some kind of love affair." Roy said provocatively.

"The skin is itching, I won't allow it!" Luo Jie quickened his pace to catch up with him, threw himself on him from behind, and wrapped his arms around his shoulders and neck.

"It's heavy, let go!" Seeing that people on the side of the road were looking at them, Roy quickly patted his arm.

Thin lips pressed against his hairline, Luo Jie said with a pun: "You don't like me to press you from behind the most."

Roy blushed immediately when he heard it, "I'm pressing your head!" I stepped on his foot hard, taking the opportunity to get out of trouble.

"Really, I will use violence if I can't win." Luo Jie showed a strong smile on his brows.

"Who told you to say that kind of thing so boringly? Although this is a foreign country, there are still people who can understand Chinese on the road, so don't hold back your mouth." Roy retorted sternly.

Luo Jie shrugged and said: "If you want to listen, let them listen. I don't care. We are all abroad. I hope we can get along freely without avoiding other people's gaze."

Roy glanced at him, "Idiot." He cursed, but he was actually quite happy in his heart.

Suddenly there was a thought in his heart: since Luo Jie had such thoughts, he didn't have to suppress himself, "The sun seems to be setting soon, let's go." He took Luo Jie's hand and walked ahead.

Luo Jie smiled, followed his footsteps, clapped back his hand, and took it into his coat pocket.

After that, the two still teased each other with words along the way, but no matter how much they bickered, they never let go of their hands in their pockets.
