People in Tokyo, the world is clear

Even to outsiders, it sounds like he is protecting his wife.

It was a bit impulsive, but I don't regret it. After all, I have always followed similar principles in my past and present lives.

I still remember that I was also criticized for this seemingly protective behavior in the past.

Probably stems from some internet debate in a past life.

The reason was that a relatively inexperienced rookie had joined his professional team. New to the professional arena, he was completely dazed, and his performance was, in the eyes of onlookers, a disaster.

But the key point only insiders know is that professional competition is not entirely the same as ranked play. Effective communication is essential in highly competitive tournaments. This is especially true for unproven newcomers, who often compromise on individual ability and technique for the sake of overall coordination.

But most viewers don't care about this, especially some club fans. The extreme ones roam around various platforms and make disgusting remarks about liquidation.

A little milder, but also sarcastic, he talked about some speculations about the relationship between the four and one and the people who couldn't move.

But the reality is that the newcomers do have the ability, and even their character and personality are not bad, but they are just not suitable for the current team's tactics.

Although other teammates expressed encouragement and comfort, it was limited to communication within the team.

Only Lin Sen chose to be the one who couldn't stand it.

When the public opinion storm was at its peak, he personally responded to a fan of the team who made disgusting remarks on the social platform:

"My buddy is very strong, don't use the word 'lead'."

Then a few months later he was kicked out of the team along with his strong new brother.

Although the ending was very perverted, Lin Sen still insisted that he would do the same thing again if he had the chance.

Eventually, the fact proved that his choice was right - the newcomer took off as the core player of the new team, and because he was kicked out, he was not tied down by the new contract signed by the big club.

When his former teammates were not getting their salaries and were not able to escape due to their contracts, he was able to rely on his status as an old artist to play as a fireman and substitute in games, and earned some of the largest bonuses in his life.

Therefore, life experiences have further strengthened the choices made after rebirth——

At this moment, it is our duty to clear Ms. Flamingo's name!

So he started to speak some pertinent and complimentary words.

The characterization of a beautiful woman is of course essential. In addition, there are many other supporting evidences, such as her willingness to learn cooking and housework and her rapid progress, her careful and meticulous attitude in dealing with people, and her kind heart.

Not only is he an absolute talent, but he also speaks well.

From a self-perspective, some people make remarks about how lucky it is to marry him.

Finally, I managed to silence the arrogant and prejudiced female student.

Successfully reshape the image of a certain flamingo in her mind and prevent her from making any unpleasant remarks in the future.

Even a newly arrived woman in her thirties sitting in the adjacent back seat turned around and solemnly expressed her thoughts on the speech:

"It seems that Mr. Kobayashi has a very happy marriage. It really makes me happy."

"Who are you?"

"Ah... Sorry. It seems like this is indeed the first time we've met today. I haven't had time to introduce myself yet."

The woman had an expression of enjoying the fun and made room for a woman who had just arrived and sat down.

The conspicuous slightly curly short hair, but the face has a complex and somewhat strange expression——

Lin Sen knew the reason for this expression:

"Susama... no, Ria?"

So the educational segment that emerged from the debate almost instantly fast-forwarded to the eating melon segment—

"Well, I'm a fan of Mr. Kobayashi's books. If you two don't mind..."

Since the conversation just now was overheard, Yukiko did not return to her disguised shy and introverted attitude.

Directly and generously invite newcomers to sit at the table.

Obviously, he was also very interested.

Afterwards, while introducing himself to the smiling woman, he quietly glanced at her and gave her a teasing look that said, "You're really trying too hard."

It probably disrupted my mood and plans a little.

But he still had the basic quality of not showing his emotions. So, he immediately put on a show, reached out and grabbed the hand of the female editor standing beside him in a daze, and pulled her over to sit next to him.

They exchanged glances.

There was a dangerous light in her eyes, probably containing the accusation from someone for having spoken carelessly just now.

Her cheeks were a little red.

In terms of outward expression, she probably controlled her posture, and perhaps even intentionally conveyed a sense of restraint and shyness.

She really looks like a virtuous wife who feels embarrassed when she accidentally hears her husband praising her.

"Why did you come out?" Lin Sen leaned over and whispered in her ear in a low voice.

"After I gave her daughter a gift last time, she insisted on thanking me." Flamingo whispered back, briefly explaining why she rarely went out.

Only after hearing this did I understand the identity of the woman sitting opposite me - coincidentally, she was the wife of a former bodyguard who was a Buddhist.

Aside from rare individuals like Sasakawa's father, all Yakuza-born individuals value loyalty and kinship. Therefore, it's clear that this woman, in her thirties, holds the financial power of the household and seems to be living a well-off life.

He should be someone who is not short of money.

But no matter what, as for the reason why she was invited to dinner at this high-end restaurant—

"What exactly did you send out?"

"I probably found some gold jewelry at the bottom of my suitcase after I got married. I've never worn it before. Maybe someone gave it to me as a gift to curry favor with my father when I was a kid. I personally don't like these tacky displays of wealth. Selling them would be a hassle and would lose their value, so I wouldn't get much back."

"Wow."

No wonder people were so happy and wanted to express their gratitude so grandly. This kind of thing is quite valuable if you have to say it.

But... when I came to my senses, I realized that the current development was a bit weird.

Especially the posture of whispering at this time.

To others, it was clearly the tenderness of a shy newlywed couple.

The first person to realize that something was wrong was Flamingo himself.

Noticing the interested expressions of the two people sitting opposite him, he immediately woke up from his whisper and gently pushed the person next to him away to interrupt.

But because of the blush on her face and the deliberately light movements, it seemed more like a tease.

So much so that the most outspoken kid present couldn't help but say:

"Seeing is believing. It seems Ms. Kobayashi's personality isn't as strange as the rumors say. Or perhaps it's true that love makes people beautiful and kind?"

"That's a pretty reasonable way of saying it. If you insist on thinking that way, I don't object."

"Ah, but as soon as you open your mouth, it's just a very stereotypical, weird and awkward thing."

"."

Ms. Ri Ya obviously couldn't handle this kind of rude female brat.

Her expression of indifference and world-weariness was merely a facade. When this facade failed to scare others away, she was clearly at her wit's end. Silence was probably her only option.

However, another person probably couldn't bear to see her being bullied.

Sasagawa Rio felt that her wrist was grabbed and some force was transferred to her.

Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the man next to him glaring at him.

He raised his fist in a serious tone.

"I think I've figured out a way to immediately find Ms. Yukiko's bodyguard hiding nearby. Would you like to try it?"

"What a classic reaction of a loving wife."

"If you don't feel sorry for your wife, do you feel sorry for an outsider like you?"

"At first glance, it's irrefutable. But falling out with investors over his beloved wife? That's a plot point for a novel."

"You want to be the most clichéd character in such a clichéd plot?"

"It looks a bit ugly, so forget it."

The confrontational yet childish interaction made the oldest woman present laugh.

I am happy to be a spectator at the closest distance and have no intention of joining in at all.

He just stared at a woman who was in a bad state with a serious look, and used an ambiguous expression to make her lower her head and hide her gaze.

After that, the flamingo remained in this state.

It was not until the way back that I slowly woke up.

Finding himself in the back seat of an expensive taxi, his eyes widened and he reached out to pinch the arm of the person next to him.

"Cross-district rental? Are you crazy?"

"It's not you who pays for the fare."

"That's not the problem. Extravagance is a bad habit. I don't want my husband to become like this... No, that's what I'm saying."

The woman suddenly covered her forehead and sighed:

"Anyway, what I mean is, there's no need for this."

I'm already familiar with this awkward way of expressing myself, but, after all, there's something endearingly cute about it that I never tire of.

For a moment, Lin Sen was amused.

"I understand what you mean. But what I meant was that the fare wasn't paid by me."

"...What is that?"

"That Miss Yukiko who criticized you so fiercely. She called this mental damages from a rich and unkind person."

"...I'd rather she give it to me in cash."

"A woman who is diligent and frugal in managing her household is so beautiful."

Lin Sen's compliment made the taxi driver, who was still holding the steering wheel, laugh.

This middle-aged shrewd man understood the atmosphere at the right time and interjected a perfect remark:

"Your husband is absolutely right about that, ma'am. You are probably the only woman of your age I've ever met who would be so concerned about her husband spending money on you. It's a blessing for him to have a wife as virtuous as you."

"It's true."

Lin Sen responded enthusiastically and made another effort to improve someone's public image.

However, this conversation probably broke down someone's shame defenses once again. So, he immediately turned his head away and silently looked at the street scene passing by the window.

Novel 0

Only when he got out of the car again and couldn't align the key with the door hole did he speak:

"Yes, there are some things I didn't expect."

"what?"

"Mr. Liar, you're actually willing to speak well of me in your own social circle for the first time in your life."

After finally inserting the key into the door and turning it, she rushed into the house as if escaping, bent down and changed her shoes with trembling hands:

"However, if I think about it for a moment, I can probably understand the purpose of this behavior. The woman who was once the subject of much discussion has become a well-behaved and sensible wife and mother after marrying me. This also demonstrates the ability of the outspoken man to a certain extent."

"Like this?"

"But, no matter what..."

She changed into her slippers, then bent down and placed the pair belonging to another person in the room at his feet:

"Although I'm fully aware of my true nature, and I know that Fengshangzuojun is just saying nice things to curry favor, I actually feel a bit of disgust and resentment in my heart, but at least I've earned a little bit of face by using your mouth..."

The twists and turns are really interesting.

Lin Sen, who followed her into the room, pushed her to her seat, took her coffee cup and turned around to make her a drink.

"So, do you have a summary version?"

"I don't mean to express any feelings. It's just, probably out of courtesy... Thank you, thank you."

"You're just too gentle sometimes. When others spread rumors or bad things about you, you just keep silent."

After tinkering with the coffee machine, Lin Sen placed the fragrant hot cup in front of the woman. "Even though I don't have much power, I'll do my best to correct the rumor. I still want to give it a try. After all, you're an excellent woman who deserves my attention, whether as a friend, a partner with benefits, or even as a couple. This is indeed the truth."
