Chapter 290: Target Number Two
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Minako Sakurai knew Meng Fan was meeting his sister this evening, so she stopped herself from calling him, though she desperately missed him.
She couldn’t sit still, however, so she left her hotel.
As she walked, she reached the hotel where she met Meng Fan this morning. From looking on her phone, she could tell which hotel was his.
There were quite a few hotels around here. Judging by Meng Fan’s budget, she could guess which was likely to be his hotel, and all of them were in the same direction. Minako Sakurai sat down in a coffeehouse facing these hotels and fended off a few men who tried to pick her up.
After a while, she left the coffeehouse and paced back and forth outside.
Her efforts weren’t in vain, she actually did find Meng Fan.
It’s just…
“Huh?”
When she saw him and called him, her brain seemed to freeze. It was as if her brain had a malfunction. She forgot why she was walking here and what she had just said. She stood in place, feeling bewildered.
“Geez, how obsessed am I with Meng Fan?”
After a while, her brain seemed to restart as she suddenly remembered everything. Then she smiled bitterly, “I must miss Meng Fan so much that I’m hallucinating. He’s not here.”
Minako Sakurai couldn’t figure out why her brain had a sudden “memory loss;” she assumed she was crazy.
She looked around carefully, still not finding Meng Fan. Finally, she decided to call Meng Fan.
Meng Fan had already gone inside the hotel.
He was just at the nightclub, then he heard that surveillance footage. He really couldn’t deal with a passionate Minako Sakurai right now.
He was a guy who hadn’t experienced a lot of these things yet. He wasn’t confident in his ability to resist, nor did he think it was something worth testing himself in.
Meng Fan didn’t want to do things he wasn’t confident in.
So he instantly put on the hat which made him less visible and marched into the hotel.
He didn’t want Minako Sakurai to be too confused however, so he took off the hat as soon as he got inside the hotel. He didn’t want her to doubt herself or to doubt her life.
Soon after he took off the hat, Minako Sakurai called, asking him to have a drink tonight. Her intention was obvious. Meng Fan had no choice but to say he was still hanging out with his sister, instead of rejecting her outright. He still needed to get some information from her.
Girl, please resist me. I couldn’t help but use myself as bait. I wanted to save my life, and I hope to save your life too.
Meng Fan had to sigh pathetically at this point. It was rare to use a honey trap so lamely.
He could hear the disappointment in her voice. He felt bad, then said, “Minako, when are you back to work? I was going to visit Japan anyway. I wanted to see when you flew there. If the timing is right, I could take your flight to Japan.”
Instantly, Minako Sakurai sounded energized.
“Aye, why is she so into me?”
Meng Fan was really in a dilemma with her.
After he arrived at the hotel, he took a cold shower to stop thinking wayward thoughts. The best way was to do a video chat with Wu Tong. As soon as they connected, he became focused.
After the video chat, Meng Fan still couldn’t sleep. He didn’t stay idle; instead, he took pen and paper to start drawing comics. He was still creating his original series, the world, and its characters, making a lot of art.
The next morning, he went jogging and of course, he ran into Minako Sakurai again. After the run and a breakfast, they each had to shower, naturally parting ways.
