A light rain began to fall from the sky, and the once azure sky was now covered by large patches of dark clouds.
It was a dark, oppressive mass, with flashes of lightning intermittently appearing in the clouds, resembling a monster about to devour its prey.
The power of nature remains awe-inspiring; a single bolt of lightning can be devastating to anyone except those with extraordinary talents.
"Splash!"
The rain came suddenly; it didn't start slowly and gradually increase, but poured down all at once.
Aside from the sunset, the torrential rain also effectively enhances the atmosphere of sadness.
The male and female protagonists in the drama broke up in this kind of weather. Even if it wasn't, after they broke up, it would suddenly rain heavily, just like today.
A tragic figure lies in a pool of blood, while a torrential downpour begins, seemingly weeping for this character.
...
This method is very common in various TV dramas; it's old-fashioned, classic, and useful.
Looking at the rainy scene through the car window, Guangyou felt no negative emotions.
While heavy rain can sometimes evoke a somber atmosphere, it can also bring a sense of comfort.
The air is fresher after the rain. Listening to the beautiful music played by nature, take out a classic book and a cup of fine West Lake Longjing tea.
Such a scene always makes people feel that you are gentle and elegant. However, if you force yourself to do such a thing, you may get the impression if you do it well, but if you do it poorly, you can only be said to be pretentious and just going with the flow.
Guangyou was in a great mood; what happened last night would make him happy for a long time.
As he thought about it, a smile appeared on his lips again.
"Your smile is so radiant."
Conan nudged Kōyū with a knowing smile.
Guangyou shrugged. If you haven't done anything wrong, you have nothing to fear.
Even if a ghost knocks on the door, if it's a male ghost, it's fine if it urinates a little bit of a child's urine.
If it's a female ghost, then let's turn this horror movie into an action movie.
There were movies like this in my past life.
I have to say, the Japanese really know how to play the game.
Street names vary from country to country, but there is one street that is an exception.
Most countries have a neighborhood called Chinatown.
There are three major Chinatowns in Japan: Yokohama Chinatown, Kobe Nankincho, and Nagasaki Shinchi Chinatown.
The Chinatown we're going to visit this time is Yokohama Chinatown, one of the three major Chinatowns.
Yokohama Chinatown is located in the Yamashita-cho area of Naka-ku, Yokohama, Japan. It has a history of over 100 years and is home to several thousand overseas Chinese, mostly from Guangdong province. It is the largest Chinatown in Asia.
Here, there are more than 200 Chinese restaurants, most of which serve cuisines from southern China, each maintaining the original flavor of its respective cuisine.
Because of the abundance of restaurants, it is known as a "food paradise," and Japanese people often come here with their families to enjoy a meal and sightsee.
When Guangyou drove to Chinatown, the strong Chinese atmosphere immediately impressed him.
The antique-style gate, after looking at the Japanese or English signs of the shops on the street for so long, made Guangyou feel for a moment as if he had returned to his hometown.
Restaurants with strong regional characteristics, such as Beijing-style restaurants, Cantonese teahouses, and Sichuan-style restaurants, are everywhere here.
Even though it was raining, Chinatown was packed with people.
Whether traveling alone, in pairs, or with family, people may choose to travel together.
They walked along Chinatown with smiles on their faces.
Most of them speak fluent Mandarin, while some speak Sichuan dialect, Cantonese, Hakka, and even Japanese.
"There are so many people here."
Uncle Maoli stood at the entrance with an umbrella, looking at the bustling Chinatown, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Perhaps because of Uncle 73, the restaurant that Ran received the invitation ticket for was called Conan Doyle's Restaurant.
It's almost certainly because it's a tribute to the author of Sherlock Holmes.
However, the name just doesn't feel quite right in Chinatown.
Guangyou had a premonition that the restaurant would either change its name or go out of business in the future. After all, it felt a bit inappropriate to have a restaurant with a Western name in Chinatown.
As Guangyou had suspected, the restaurant owner was originally a Sherlock Holmes fan and named it in homage to him.
However, five years later, the restaurant became unprofitable and had to change its name to Huaxinglou, meaning the rise of China.
Whether it was due to the name or something else, the restaurant that changed its name became incredibly successful, making a fortune every day.
But that's all in the future...
Upon entering the Conan Doyle building, the waiter standing at the door was also Chinese, but he had grown up in Japan.
"Do any of the four of you have reservations?"
The male waiter stepped forward, bowed slightly, and asked with a smile.
"Please wait a moment."
As Xiaolan spoke, she took out a invitation voucher from her pocket and handed it over, "This invitation voucher should be from your restaurant, right?"
The waiter glanced at it and nodded: "Yes, please show me the invitation."
After taking the invitation voucher and glancing at it, the waiter smiled apologetically and bowed slightly: "I'm sorry, it is indeed an invitation voucher for our restaurant, but this voucher cannot be used at this time."
"You're saying this invitation card can't be used?"
Xiaolan took the invitation card from the waiter and asked in confusion, "But this is your restaurant, isn't it?"
The waiter gave a wry smile and was about to explain when Uncle Mori spoke up.
"Explain yourself now: why can't the vouchers issued by your restaurant be used?"
Another tall, dark-skinned, and somewhat intimidating-looking male waiter placed his hand on Uncle Mori's shoulder and said politely, "Sir, would you please talk outside?"
