Chapter 588 - Miyazaki Ronjin (1/2)
After more than three hours on the plane, Xiao Luo finally arrived in Dongjing, Ri Nation.
Xiao Luo looked at his watch, and it was 11 at night. Dongjing was an hour ahead of Hua Nation, so it was already midnight when the plane made its approach to the airport. But, Dongjing, being a city that never sleeps, looked like a monster with a glowing body, quietly lying across this vast sprawling land. Looking down at the city by night, lights shimmered and blinked with the same brilliance as the milky way. It is breathtakingly beautiful, and this was what Xiao Luo saw from his window seat.
But he was influenced by Zhang Dashan’s words, and he could not stop thinking about the sleaze that was a part of this city’s glamor.
He did not know why, but he still felt lingering discomfort from the effect of using the Yi Jinjing to regulate his body. After sitting on the plane for a little over three hours, Xiao Luo still had not recovered. Excessive saliva was continually forming in his mouth, and he spat it all out into a piece of tissue when he disembarked, then proceeded to search for a bin to dispose of it.
As soon as he stepped out of the passageway, he saw a bin. He walked over to throw the tissue into it. But a light breeze blew, and the tissue fell on the ground beside the bin instead.
“Just look at him. Hua Nation people are so uncultured. Look at how he tossed the rubbish outside of the bin. It’s uncivilized!” a voice spoke.
It was a Western man and his wife, both with prominent noses, who had been on the same flight as Xiao Luo. As soon as they saw this, the husband immediately criticized Xiao Luo’s actions.
Xiao Luo had intended to pick up the tissue paper and dispose of it properly in the bin, but he immediately thought otherwise when he heard what the man said. Xiao Luo felt the urge to react but held himself back as he was now overseas. He was aware that his words and actions would reflect on Hua Nation and did not want to give his country a bad name. The cogs in his head turned, and Xiao Luo decided to offer a riposte in Japanese. “You f*cking idiot!” he spewed.
He said it with a perfect Dongjing accent.
The Western couple was stunned, and then realization dawned on them. “He’s not from Hua Nation. He’s from Ri Nation!”
And as they were in Ri Nation, so it was only natural that they refrained from criticizing the locals if they could help it. They left hurriedly, but their impression of the Ri Nation people changed considerably.
Xiao Luo heaved a sigh of relief. He was a little impressed by his wit.
When Xiao Luo walked into the arrival hall, he saw a young Ri Nation man holding a board with the name “Xiao Han” written on it. He was holding it high above his head. Xiao Luo was almost right in front of the man, but the young man still kept looking around, not recognizing Xiao Luo.
Was the man blind?
Xiao Luo felt a little down in the dumps. He walked right up and cleared his throat before saying in Japanese, “Hi, I’m Xiao Han!”
The young man finally shifted his gaze and took a good look at Xiao Luo. He said excitedly, “Hello, Xiao Han. I am Kimura Akino, and I’m a police officer. I’m here to welcome you. Pleased to meet you!”
He bowed as he introduced himself to Xiao Luo, the expression on his face conveying a degree of respect and politeness.
Xiao Luo frowned and said, “I thought Miyazaki Ronjin was the one who was supposed to fetch me?”
It was what Ji Siying had told him before he left for Ri Nation. The Hua Nation police officers had been in contact with their counterparts in Dongjing and had been informed that a Police Sergeant would meet him, and that man was supposed to be Miyazaki Ronjin.
Kimura Akino had an apologetic look on his face. “The Police Sergeant suddenly had an upset tummy,” he explained.
“Ooh…” Xiao Luo responded, dragging out the vowel sound.
“Mr. Xiao Han, I am to wait in the carpark for him after I have welcomed you. Let us head over right now,” Kimura Akino said.
“Sure!” Xiao Luo nodded.
“Let me help you with your luggage, Mr. Xiao Han.”
“That’s alright, thank you. I don’t have a lot on me. I’ll carry it myself.”
