If Long Tao hadn't looked at the menu, he would have thought it was the price the waiter said. When he looked carefully, Long Tao immediately found that someone had paid half of the fee in advance.
Long Tao asked:
"Who paid half of the bill in advance?" "I'm sorry, sir, we can't disclose the private information of our guests."
"I've been in jail, don't force me. I'll give you two choices. 1: I'll call the police. 2: Tell me who paid for it."
"Sir, it's the lady."
"Ok."
Long Tao has been in Japan for so many years, and has been in prison for three years. He knows Japanese laws very well. It would be almost impossible for the waiter in front of him to hide the truth from him.
After paying the bill, Long Tao sighed.
Eh...
The person who paid the bill was none other than Mina Ishihara.
Ishihara Mina was worried that Long Tao would spend too much money, so she came to help Long Tao pay half of the money in advance. Ishihara Mina was so kind and considerate to Long Tao, which made Long Tao's heart full of thoughts for a while, and he didn't know what to say.
Sister Mina, ah, Sister Mina.
How can you be so nice.
Sometimes, Long Tao hopes that Mina Ishihara will be well, and sometimes, he doesn’t really hope that Mina Ishihara will be well.
But in the end, he still hopes for Mina Ishihara.
After Long Tao paid the bill, he said, "I have booked a hotel for everyone. The hotel prices here are not very expensive, so I booked a room for each person."
"In addition to the hotel, I have also booked the bonfire party at Tianyi Coastline. It will start at 8pm. There is still an hour and a half left. Why don't you go to the hotel and rest for a while? Then you will have enough time and energy to watch the bonfire party at Tianyi Coastline in the evening."
"It's still early in the evening, I want to go buy some snacks and drinks for everyone, Sister Mina, I wonder if you have time, we can go together."
"Oh, me? Okay."
Ishihara Mina smiled sweetly.
Chapter 50: Have you ever been in love?
When everyone heard that Long Tao was going to take everyone to watch a bonfire party in the evening, everyone was very happy.
Especially Ishihara Sakura and Aragaki Ie.
Although Aragaki Ii was happy because of the presence of Ishihara Sakura and her family, she did not show it particularly.
Ishihara Sakura was different. When she heard that Long Tao was going to the Tianyi coastline to watch the bonfire party in the evening, she jumped up excitedly and said excitedly: "Long Tao, long live, Long Tao, you are awesome, Long Tao..."
Because she was too happy and excited, Ishihara Sakura ran over in front of everyone and kissed Long Tao on the face.
When everyone saw Ishihara Sakura's look, they didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but didn't say much.
Everyone thought that Ishihara Sakura kissed Long Tao because she was happy, but Aragaki Yi Yi obviously took it seriously.
She was a little jealous.
So, Aragaki Yi Yi also gave Long Tao a kiss on the face with a smack sound.
Xin Yuan Yi Yi said happily: "Thank you Brother Long Tao for taking me out for a trip. I am very happy. Thank you Brother Long Tao."
Long Tao smiled slightly and didn't say much.
Immediately afterwards, Long Tao and Ishihara Mina drove to buy snacks and drinks, and went to Tianyi coastline in advance to reserve seats.
After getting in the car, neither of them spoke. After a while, Ishihara Mina suddenly asked, "Long Tao, do you have any dreams?"
When Long Tao heard what Ishihara Mina said, he was stunned.
To be honest, Long Tao doesn’t even know what his dream is right now.
In his previous life, Long Tao's biggest dream was to return to China after graduating from university, then find a good job, make money, support his parents, and then marry a virtuous wife to support the family and raise children.
Just like this, I spend my life in plain and simple way.
When Long Tao was in junior high school and high school, he had many dreams. However, after entering university, his dreams became more practical.
The reason why he became pragmatic was not because his dreams disappeared, but because he recognized the nature of this society.
Given his situation at the time, it was almost impossible for him to fulfill his dreams in junior high and high school.
After entering university, his dreams became very practical.
Then, that happened.
And now, when Mina Ishihara asked Long Tao about his dream, she really stumped Long Tao.
From the time of his rebirth until now, Long Tao had never thought about this question carefully. What exactly is his dream now? What exactly is he pursuing?
Long Tao thought about it carefully, thinking about his two lives, and finally said seriously: "Don't let down everyone who loves me and everyone I love."
When Ishihara Mina heard Long Tao say this, she was stunned.
She originally thought that Long Tao's dream was to become a great cartoonist or a super rich boss.
The first dream is closely related to what Long Tao is doing now, and the second dream is the dream of many young people nowadays.
She never thought that Long Tao's dream was this.
Strictly speaking, the dream that Long Tao talked about is not a dream, but just a simple wish.
However, it was precisely this wish that touched Mina Ishihara deeply.
She found that she couldn't quite understand Long Tao anymore.
The previous Long Tao was a positive, optimistic, progressive and hardworking Long Tao.
She didn't notice any obvious changes in Long Tao now. However, there was a more Buddhist feeling in Long Tao now, which made her a little surprised and curious...
"What about you, Mina-san? What's your dream?"
Long Tao asked back.
When Ishihara Mina heard Long Tao's words, she was also stumped by him.
Before, Mina Ishihara’s biggest dream was to make a lot of money so that her family would no longer be separated by money issues.
Later, when she entered society, she discovered that not everything in the world can be solved by money.
Money can only solve part of the problem.
This caused her pursuit to suddenly lose its essential direction.
Later, she just wanted to get ahead.
Now hearing Long Tao say this, she was stumped.
What is your dream?
Is it making a lot of money? Or being successful in your career?
Yes, but it seems not entirely.
So what exactly is it?
Ishihara Mina thought about it, and she finally gave Long Tao an answer: "It should be that in the future, the people who love me and the people I love can all live happily!"
When Long Tao heard the answer, he smiled and looked at Ishihara Mina. Ishihara Mina also smiled and looked at Long Tao.
The two of them put something in their hearts at the same time.
At this moment, Ishihara Mina asked another question that surprised Long Tao.
"Long Tao, have you ever been in love?"
Chapter 51 is a surprise, but also a heartfelt one
Long Tao didn't expect that Ishihara Mina would ask him such a question.
Long Tao thought about it and said seriously: "No."
In his previous life, Long Tao had an immature relationship in junior high school, but he stopped dating because of the academic pressure in high school.
When he entered university, Long Tao couldn't bear to spend too much of his parents' money because the expenses were too high, and he missed out on several very good girls.
Until later, when he wanted to fall in love, there was no chance for him to do so.
Therefore, he had too many regrets in his previous life.
This is also the fundamental reason why Long Tao kidnapped Ishihara Sakura and whipped her severely before his rebirth.
Ishihara Sakura had such a huge influence on his life, to the extent that it was very difficult for Long Tao to forgive her.
Even now, in real life, if something really happened between the two of them, Long Tao would only regard her as a source of excitement and happiness, and it would be almost impossible for any feelings to be born.
Long Tao didn't have any unforgettable feelings about love at all, all he had was regret.
Therefore, he replied that he had never been in a relationship.
After asking this question, the two did not continue to ask questions related to relationships. Similarly, Long Tao did not ask Ishihara Mina whether she had ever been in love. He did not need to ask this question, because Long Tao knew the answer to the question.
The two chatted for a while.
The topics of conversation were very broad, including astronomy, geography, and strange stories.
During his three years in prison in his previous life, Long Tao read a lot of books and met all kinds of strange people and things. Therefore, after just a short chat, he made Ishihara Mina very happy.
Long Tao didn't know whether Ishihara Mina was so happy because the event itself was very happy, or because she was too depressed and hadn't come out to relax for a long time.
In short, Mina Ishihara is very happy.
While she was happy, Mina Ishihara also had a lot of surprises in her heart.
She had never had an in-depth communication with Long Tao before. She only knew that Long Tao was a very kind person. She did not expect that Long Tao was so knowledgeable, which surprised her.
After half an hour.
The two came to the Tianyi coastline.
The starry sky at night is beautiful, the night sky is beautiful, and the coastline illuminated by the lights and the night sky is also beautiful.
Especially when the waves hit the guardrail, Mina Ishihara felt it was even more beautiful.
"so beautiful."
"It is indeed beautiful."
"Long Tao, there is a shooting star, close your eyes and make a wish."
"Okay, Mina-san."
"Long Tao, what wish did you just make?"
"Mina, guess. If you guess right, I'll tell you."
"Hey, Long Tao, when did you become so talkative? Did you learn bad things from Sakura?"
"No way...Mina-sister, what about you? What wish did you make?"
"I won't tell you either."
...
The two chatted as they walked towards the coastline.
When the two of them reached the corner, Long Tao turned around and hid quietly. Ishihara Mina walked for a while and didn't notice that Long Tao had disappeared.
It was not until she discovered that Long Tao had truly disappeared that Mina Ishihara looked around for him.
"Long Tao, where are you?"
"Long Tao."
"Long Tao, stop playing."
Ishihara Mina called out several times, but Long Tao didn't answer her. Ishihara Mina frowned and hurriedly called Long Tao.
After two consecutive calls without anyone answering, Mina Ishihara couldn't help but start to worry.
Just when Ishihara Mina was about to call the police, the next second, Long Tao jumped out from behind.
"Hey, Mina-san."
"You, you really are..."
