Chapter 327 Life
At the same time, Natsui Makoto, accompanied by Uehara Tomomi, came to the hotel view room that Kishimoto Masayoshi had booked in advance.
Champagne, all kinds of pastries, fruit platters, snacks and so on were all prepared, just waiting for them to enjoy one at any time.
Uehara Ji-Mi is an eye-opener, the first time to peep into the rich people’s state of life in the end is what a look. Without this opportunity, she would never have been able to enter the presidential suite of a five-star hotel.
Uehara Ji-mei for the immediate see everything, will not be in the heart of the feelings of a thousand times. This and rich people as friends, really good. However, not everyone has such an opportunity.
The most convenient way to become friends with a rich person was to become neighbors with them, which meant that they were all in the same class. She was naturally not such a person.
“Makoto, I’m really jealous of you.” Uehara Tomomi blurted out.
Natsui Makoto didn’t show a condescending look at all. Her heart was calm, completely devoid of charity and pity as she said, “There’s no need to be jealous of me. In fact, we are all the same.”
“Different, completely different. Back in the day, for us, a meal of revolving sushi was good enough.
We didn’t even dare to take a golden plate for 500 yen. When we could take a golden plate to eat, it was for our own birthdays.
After all, you and I both know that 500 yen means the cost of a lunch and dinner out. Nowadays, that’s not something for you to eat at all anymore.
You’ll only dine out at one of those fancy sushi restaurants with a membership program. As for me, revolving sushi is still a great thing.
Likewise it’s only on my birthday that I’ll have the luxury of picking up a golden plate to eat once in a while.” Uehara Tomomi shook her head vigorously and said.
After hearing this, Natsui Makoto did not say a word or engage in a bit of reminiscing. She knew deep down that what Uehara Tomomi said was the big truth.
“Let’s take tonight for example! Even if I wanted to see this grand fireworks display in the harbor area, I might not be able to. Working and earning money is the priority.
Otherwise, I won’t be able to live in Tokyo. Even if I had the time to come to Minato, I would still be calculating and obsessing about the cost of transportation and other expenses.
Even when I arrive here, I just stand in the winter wind and look up at the crowds of people with my feet in the air. Right now, I’m just enjoying it too much, too comfortable.” Uehara Tomomi had a word to say.
“Why are you so emotional?” Natsui Makoto gushed when she saw her words open up.
“Who let me get irritated?” Tomomi Uehara said bluntly.
“I’m not the one who irritated you.” Natsui Makoto said calmly.
“It’s true that you’re not the one who irritated me, but it belongs to leading me inside a new world that I’ve never seen before. I know that this place does not belong to me.
I also don’t expect that I can live a life as good as yours. Every person has every life, and while yours is good, mine is not so good.
Even so, I love this night as if I had a beautiful dream. I really hope that this beautiful dream of mine is never to wake up.” Tomomi Uehara said matter-of-factly.
The reason why Natsui Makoto was willing to be friends with the other party was because of her sincerity. Even though the social status between the two was already vastly different, it did not hinder their friendship.
Uehara Tomomi picked up the champagne King Don? Perignon was fiddling with it for a while before finally opening it. She poured it bottle top down into two empty champagne glasses.
“This bottle of wine should be more than a month’s pay for all my hard work. Tonight, it’s just too extravagant. It also allows me to savor what Champagne King is really a flavor.
In the past, it was only seen inside movies and TV dramas.” Uehara Tomomi put down the bottle of wine, her right and left hands were each picking up a glass of wine and said.
She walked over to Natsui Makoto and handed over a champagne glass on top of her left hand. After that, she tilted her head back and began to drink.
Natsui Makoto didn’t act as if she couldn’t wait to act like Inuyasha eating ginseng fruit. She first took a good look at the champagne glass with fine bubbles inside Don? Perignon, and then brought it to the nose and smelled it, felt that there is not too obvious alcohol flavor, all a relatively strong and unique champagne aroma.
“The good stuff is really different.” Uehara Tomomi blurted out.
Natsui Makoto laughed and said, “What flavor did you really drink out?”
“The taste of money.” Tomomi Uehara said bluntly.
“I knew you’d say that. If you really want to know the taste of money, you might as well just eat it.” Natsui Makoto said with an unchanging smile.
“How unsanitary that would be!” Tomomi Uehara said as she laughed along.
“Even though I came from a bad background, after I came to Tokyo, I really was favored by the god of luck all the way. Not only did this allow me to find a job quickly, but I also made friends like you that I can make friends with.” Natsui Makoto sighed with emotion and said.
“It’s really difficult for people like us who work part-time to become friends who can make friends. We all work in one place for a few months at most, or possibly just a few days at less.
Those who have been there for the last year are especially few. With that kind of mobility, who’s going to give their personal feelings? Plus, life in Tokyo is so stressful and fast-paced that all you want to do after a long day is go home and lie down to sleep.
Even if they were close at the time, once they stopped working together, they forgot all about it after a while. Who can remember who?” Tomomi Uehara said matter-of-factly.
“That’s why I said I was favored by the god of luck. It’s extremely rare for people like us to be able to keep in touch.” Natsui Makoto emphasized.
“Makoto, you’re really kind. If it were another person, they wouldn’t be able to do what you did. Once a person has flown the coop, they tend to forget the embarrassments of the past, and will especially selectively forget their former friends.” Uehara Tomomi said without haste.
“Tomomi, I think you’re even more sophisticated than you used to be.” Natsui Makoto said seriously.
“It’s not because I was forced by real life. I also want to be carefree and unattached like you, not having to worry about money or life in the slightest.
However, I simply can’t do it. I’m one of those people whose hands stop and their mouths have to stop. If you don’t work, you don’t have anything to eat.” Uehara Tomomi said with a bitter smile.
“Let’s not talk about these unhappy things. I purposely called you here, but it’s for the sake of being happy.” Natsui Makoto said not wanting to make the atmosphere serious.
Uehara Tomomi immediately made an apologetic gesture and said, “I’m sorry, I was wrong.”
