It was the end of March, and it was cherry blossom season in Japan.
Luke got off at Shinjuku Gyoen and strolled in leisurely.
The weather wasn't good today. On a gloomy rainy day, the cherry blossoms weren't as pink and glistening as they were in the morning sun.
The good thing was that there were fewer people looking at the cherry blossoms.
There were no longer any uncles and aunties who rolled up their sleeves. Everyone wrapped themselves in long coats and strolled under the cherry blossom trees in the rain with umbrellas.
Of course, there were still people taking pictures everywhere.
The cherry blossoms in the rain also had a sorrowful and beautiful temperament, not inferior to the brilliance under the sun.
Luke enjoyed the environment very much. He had never seen cherry blossoms in full bloom in either of his lives, and it was worth savoring.
The rain wasn't heavy, and there weren't too many people. The pink and light red rain of cherry blossoms fell like a peaceful painting.
Luke strolled down the cherry blossom path and soon ran into a warm-hearted person.
Two girls in their twenties were taking pictures of each other on the path. One of them was stunned when she saw Luke slowly walking out of the rain of cherry blossoms.
"Tiantian, are you Peggy? Are you done? My waist can't take it anymore! "the girl in front of her shouted angrily.
The girl with the camera, Tiantian, came back to her senses and decisively turned the lens to aim at her best friend … Luke, who was behind her, and snapped.
The girl with the concave pose found that odd. "Hey, I'm talking. What kind of weird thing did you take pictures of me?"
As she spoke, she skipped over and looked at the LCD screen of the digital camera. Then, she couldn't help but exclaim, "F * ck, where did this handsome guy come from?"
She let out a sigh of "how uncultured" out of habit as her gaze involuntarily shifted towards the camera.
Luke was strolling leisurely down the path. He wasn't in a hurry, but was observing his surroundings with great interest.
Unlike regular tourists, he didn't turn his head back and forth quickly. His leisurely footsteps gave him plenty of time to slowly enjoy the scenery.
Anyone could tell from his appearance and temperament that this guy … Hm, he had money and time, and was a typical pretentious prick.
Luke didn't think he was being pretentious.
If possible, he liked to bury death and blood in Tokyo's night, and cherry blossoms and drizzle in Tokyo's day.
Therefore, he was very relaxed now and didn't care too much about other people's attention.
For example, he pretended not to hear the sounds of the two girls secretly taking pictures not far away, as well as the murmuring of their conversation.
However, the biggest reason was that the familiar "F * ck" brought back too many memories.
It had been a long time since he had heard such authentic Chinese internet slang. This sense of familiarity was truly new.
Why was he so sure that it was internet slang? Because when the girl said this word, she really pronounced it as "f * ck".
Elementary Sound Wave would never make a mistake on this point.
In this time and space, the European and American boy groups that were so handsome that they made girls lose their minds were still on the tail end of the popularity.
Meanwhile, the Asian people were "addicted" to this type of handsome boy group.
On this trip to Tokyo, Luke didn't look like a bearded uncle anymore. Instead, he created a new avatar that was 80% similar to the twenty-year-old Keanu Reeves.
With this face, he didn't need to add soft TV effects like those boy groups to make girls smile from ear to ear.
He calmly walked past the two girls.
Originally, he thought that it would be fine if he met two people from his previous life by chance.
However, the pattering of footsteps came from behind him again.
The girl called Xiao Tiantian, who was the one who had secretly taken pictures of him, caught up to him. "Wait, wait a minute."
She was speaking in English.
After all, with Luke's current face, it was hard for others to mistake him for someone from Japan. He hadn't chosen the face from his previous life because he didn't want to run into trouble.
He turned his head. "Huh?"
Looking at his calm expression, Xiao Tiantian stopped in her tracks in fear, but after a brief hesitation, she still handed him the umbrella. "This is for you. If you get wet too much, worms might grow on your head?"
Her English had a distinct Chinese flavor, but it was much better than the plastic English of Luke's previous life. However, she seemed to have forgotten how to say "lice."
Amused, Luke took the umbrella from her. "Thank you."
Seemingly encouraged, Xiao Tiantian became a lot bolder as she rubbed the digital camera with both hands. "Well, can you, can you …"
The girl behind her was even more nervous than she was. She didn't say anything, and even tugged at the back of Xiao Tiantian's clothes.
Only the heavens knew whether she was urging or stopping Xiao Tiantian.
Luke leaned forward a little and pretended to listen.
Xiao Tiantian finally asked, "Can we take a picture together?"
"Sure." Luke nodded. "But let's do it here."
Xiao Tiantian said, "Can we? Just one … Okay, you agree! "
Luke smiled, but this smile was much colder than his real body's smile.
After all, Keanu had never been a warm guy.
As an actor, Luke had always set his standards based on the characteristics of a certain movie character in his previous life to avoid being the same.
In any case, all his aliases were handsome, and it would be a waste of his acting talent if they were too similar!
In less than a minute, Luke left with the umbrella that Xiao Tiantian had given him, leaving the two girls to share the umbrella as they watched him disappear into the rain of cherry blossoms.
He said one, and he took one.
One for Xiao Tiantian and her best friend, and one for both of them. As long as he didn't go against his words, Luke gave the two fellow countrymen an extra amount, but not an extra price.
Speaking of umbrellas, he couldn't help but think of Madame White, and that he was now an American superhero.
So, the new Batarang … Pfft, what the hell was he thinking about? Shaking his head slightly, Luke wandered through the park with a faint smile on his face.
He was wearing a long black trench coat, a pair of light orange sunglasses, and a round, transparent umbrella with a Hello Kitty pattern on it. He suddenly looked very cute.
As it turned out, Chinese girls in the early twenty-first century were much more reserved than Japanese girls.
Xiao Tiantian and her best friend were probably very well-off, which was why they were able to travel to Tokyo in March.
However, there was a limit to how much they liked Luke, a handsome stranger.
With his face, he might be able to successfully ask one of them out, but it would take time for them to take the initiative to ask him out.
After them, there were more than ten women who directly asked Luke out on a date.
The younger and shyer ones asked him for his phone number or where he was going.
The older ones were probably too embarrassed to pay him directly — he was too handsome, and the other party couldn't bear to ruin the beautiful atmosphere of a chance encounter.
Luke simply put away his smile and spoke in English in a very American tone to express his refusal.
Japanese people were very particular about etiquette, but Americans certainly didn't have to abide by it.
What were these women thinking? Sorry, they weren't from Luke's previous life, so they didn't get any preferential treatment.
If he could refuse them with normal etiquette, it would mean that he was cultured enough.
But perhaps a lot of girls would rather he be a little less cultured, so that they could talk to him more.
But Luke's Basic Psychology and Hypnosis didn't give them any chance to pester him.
After he said that, he said it!
