Chapter 48: Wedding
"Kotaro, it's ok~"
While Shirakawa Kaede slowly sipped his iced soda, he watched Kotaro fiddling with things in front of the mirror and helplessly reminded him that time was almost up.
"Oh, what a trouble." Kotaro shook his sleeves again. He felt uncomfortable whenever he put on a suit.
In addition to the hot weather, he was already sweating profusely before he even went out.
Baichuan Feng put down the iced soda in his hand and rolled his eyes speechlessly , "I told you a long time ago that if you want to make a lot of money, a suit is essential."
"But we are going to attend a wedding. What does it have to do with making a lot of money?" Torataro looked at Shirakawa Kaede innocently.
"Alright," Baichuan Feng waved his hand and threw the empty soda bottle into the trash can. "Let's go quickly. It's very rude to be late for such an important occasion."
Kitano Takeshi's sudden call forced Shirakawa Kaede, who was unprepared, to hastily adjust her schedule and attend his wedding.
Ever since their last chance encounter at the dinner table, Shirakawa Feng has often seen Brother Kitano, who also came from the Meiji era, but only on TV.
The two never met again in private, so Shirakawa Kaede was very confused about Kitano Takeshi's invitation.
But perhaps only Takeshi Kitano would do such a thing as inviting someone to his wedding after meeting them only once.
As for Torataro, he was of course also among those invited by Takeshi Kitano. The two of them hit it off at the last dinner table.
Maybe in Takeshi Kitano's heart, the silly Kotaro is much more pleasing to the eye than the serious Shirakawa Kaede.
Since he was going to attend a wedding, he had to be prepared. However, Shirakawa Feng had no experience in Japanese weddings. So he could only turn to Kotaro, a native of Japan, for advice.
"Xiao Feng, I've never been married, how can I know this?"
Faced with Kotaro's very confident words, Shirakawa Kaede was choked and speechless and could only ask Kashiwagi for advice.
After asking around, it turned out that it was actually no different from his hometown in his previous life. He just needed to give a gift and have a meal. As for the procedure, it was not something he should consider as a guest.
The two dressed in white shirts and black suits, and looked quite similar at first glance. At least they looked no different from the office workers who squeezed into the subway every day.
According to the address provided by Takeshi Kitano, the two of them arrived at their destination in just ten minutes.
It turned out that Kitano Takeshi also lived in Asakusa, right next to their town. The two looked at the ordinary single-family house in front of them and looked at each other in bewilderment. This didn't look like a place to hold a wedding.
It was not crowded, but at least it was full of guests. However, there was not a single person outside the single-family house in front of me .
Under the scorching sun, two men in suits and ties stood on the side of the road. They looked curious, and if you didn't know them, you would think they were door-to-door salesmen.
After hesitating for a moment, under Kotaro's gaze of "Of course it's you who comes", Shirakawa Kaede still gritted his teeth and rang the doorbell.
"Hai~" A crisp female voice came from inside the door, and the door was opened in just two breaths.
A young woman with long hair and an apron stood at the door with a smile on her face and bowed to Shirakawa Feng. "Is this Shirakawa-kun?"
"Eh," Shirakawa Feng nodded in surprise, "Hai, is this Kitano Takeshi's family?"
"Xiao Wu, there are guests." The young woman turned around and called into the house, then smiled and welcomed Shirakawa Kaede and Kotaro into the house.
Although full of doubts, Shirakawa Kaede and Kotaro still changed their slippers at the entrance and prepared to enter the house.
At this time, Kitano Takeshi, who was wearing slippers, just came out of the house. When he saw Shirakawa Kaede and Kotaro dressed seriously, he burst into laughter.
The rough laughter not only shocked Baichuan Feng and the others, but also attracted the other two guests in the house to come out and watch the fun.
One of them was his partner, Jiro Kaneko, and the other was a middle-aged man with silver glasses and a slicked-back hair.
When they saw Shirakawa Kaede and Kotaro at the door, they couldn't help but burst into laughter. Even the young woman who had just opened the door for them chuckled.
Shirakawa Feng was surprised to find that everyone in the room was wearing casual clothes, either short-sleeved shirts or short-sleeved T-shirts.
Only Shirakawa Kaede and Kotaro were dressed in formal suits and trousers. What was even funnier was that they were each holding an envelope in their hands, which was the gift money they had prepared.
Baichuan Feng blushed, he felt it was not right to give the gift money away, nor was it right to hold it in his hand.
"Needless to say," Kitano Takeshi smiled and pointed at Shirakawa Kaede, "This idea must have come from Shirakawa boy."
Kotaro pulled the hem of his suit sheepishly, "I just said that wearing a suit is really troublesome."
Bai Chuanfeng, who was not sure whether to laugh or cry, complained, "Brother Kitano, didn't you say that today is your big day?"
Kitano Takeshi answered calmly, "Yes, today is indeed the day that Kaneko and I are getting married.
But Kaneko told me that there wasn't even a guest at the wedding, which was really outrageous. Kaneko Jiro-san and Mori Masayuki-san were both very familiar with each other.
So I thought of you guys, Shirakawa, and I haven't seen you yet. It can be regarded as adding a new atmosphere to the wedding ."
So I'm just here to make up the numbers? Baichuan Feng complained silently in his heart.
Also, this wedding is a bit too hasty. It's just like a few people making an appointment to have a small gathering at a friend's house. It's no different.
As if he could see what Shirakawa Kaede was thinking, Kitano Takeshi grinned, "With Shirakawa and the others here, it finally feels like a wedding.
Oh, by the way, Ganzi, please accept the gifts that Baichuan and his friends brought. This is the only gift today."
Several people in the room started laughing again when they heard this. Baichuan Feng looked at his suit, took off his jacket, untied his tie, and rolled up his sleeves.
Kotaro followed suit, and soon the two people who had been serious just now started to become sloppy.
After sitting down on the sofa, Kitano Takeshi pointed at the middle-aged man with glasses who was about his age and introduced him to Shirakawa Kaede and the others, "Mori Masayuki-san, my good friend."
Then he pointed at Shirakawa Kaede and Toratarou and introduced them to Mori Masayuki, "Shirakawa Kaede, a student at Meiji. Toratarou, a loyal fan of my show. We both met over drinks."
The man named Mori Masayuki had a hint of doubt in his eyes when he heard Takeshi Kitano's introduction.
He leaned forward slightly, "Excuse me, who is the composer of Shirakawa-kun and Dragonfly..."
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Sen-sang. I didn't expect that you also knew this song. It's my honor."
Shirakawa Kaede just heard Kitano Takeshi use the word "good partner" when introducing Mori Masayuki, so he must have a very close relationship with him. So he was very humble and polite.
After receiving a positive answer, Masayuki Mori immediately looked at Shirakawa Kaede with new eyes, "I didn't expect Shirakawa-kun to be so young, it's really amazing."
He glanced at Kitano Takeshi, then at Shirakawa Kaede. "As expected of Meiji, there is Takeshi and Shirakawa-kun."
"Hey, what dragonflies are you talking about?" Kitano Takeshi looked out the window curiously, "There are only crows in Tokyo, not dragonflies."
