It is said that owning a car with a V8 engine is a man's romance.
Compared to the V8 engine in the previous generation m5, the Audi R8 V10's output power has been increased by 25%, ensuring an output power of over 100bhp per liter, which gives the m5 racing-like performance.
With a top speed range similar to that of a turbocharged engine, excellent peak torque, and a beautiful roar, it is bound to attract a lot of attention.
Kaori Ogasawara had always dreamed of sitting in such a luxury car, just like those socialites and heiresses, enjoying the attention from those around her.
The louder the noise in the streets, the more extravagant the spending.
This fleeting mental illusion, created by the overlap of environment and money, captivated her, making it impossible for her to extricate herself.
Her hands were clenched tightly in front of her chest. As the waves of emotion began to subside, she slowly adjusted her breathing, trying to keep her voice low, and timidly asked, "Mr. Sei, am I really that bad?"
Junichi, who was focused on driving, subconsciously glanced at the center rearview mirror.
I noticed that Kaori Ogasawara seemed a little off.
It gives off a feeling of frustration and slight inferiority.
Of course, Junichi was very clear that this inferiority complex did not arise out of thin air, and the other person was not a person with a similar personality.
Well... Emmm... it's probably because after Junichi became the owner of this R8, this inexplicable inferiority complex began to linger, creating an invisible distance between the two of them, making Junichi feel that the other person was in a pitiful situation.
Clearly, the fake master has begun casting a spell.
Junichi Sei wanted to hear what this pseudo-master who gained experience so quickly had to say, so he cooperated and said, "How could that be? Ogasawara has always given me the feeling of a vibrant and energetic beautiful girl."
However, upon hearing Junichi's words, Kaori Ogasawara lowered her head even further, her voice trembling with a faint sob: "You don't need to comfort me. I know my attitude just now must have disappointed you greatly..."
Junichi didn't speak, but he instantly understood what the other person meant.
After all, once he learned that he had agreed to go to see the car with the other party's high school classmate, the fake master clearly showed his emotions, and even expressed his desire to leave after seeing the Q5 car that the other party had chosen.
Such behavior undoubtedly tramples on a man's dignity, making him appear to be putting on a brave face.
But since Kaori Ogasawara took the initiative to speak frankly, it means that the other party is confident that they can use this opportunity to repair the relationship.
Therefore, in situations like this, a smart man simply needs to listen patiently.
Deliberate generosity not only increases the difficulty for the other party to operate, but also makes them feel that they are not sincere enough.
As expected, after seeing Junichi Sei's silence, Ogasawara Kaori's shoulders began to tremble, and she spoke with a helpless expression:
"Actually, I really hate myself for this. My family has always been poor since I was a child, and my parents are very materialistic. Being influenced by this kind of family for a long time, I can't help but envy other girls. I always feel that we are all experiencing life for the first time. If they can have it, why can't I?"
"But gradually, I realized that my thinking was wrong, so when faced with such a situation, my first choice was to escape."
"So, I'm really sorry. I only thought about myself and didn't consider Se-kun's feelings. I'm such a terrible person!"
After saying this, Kaori Ogasawara buried her face in the passenger seat and burst into tears, as if she were the biggest victim, appearing so helpless and fragile.
Good heavens!
Junichi Sei gave this self-narration a perfect score.
She honestly points out her snobbish flaws, but they are all reasonable. She uses her tragic childhood to evoke the man's sympathy, and through her own growth, she tells Junichi that she has also made progress, from simple jealousy to gradually distancing herself.
This humble mentality of protecting oneself and not wanting to be hurt pushes emotions to the extreme.
I've already trampled my dignity underfoot, all I hope is not to be hurt.
At a time like this, if Junichi Sei, or any other man, were to criticize Kaori Ogasawara, it would be utterly heartless.
This is a classic example of using the softest words to express the toughest attitude. You're so pathetic yourself, how dare you criticize me?
Wow!
If the other person knows how to disguise their emotions during the day, or takes care of Junichi's feelings at the first opportunity, then they can definitely shed the word "fake" and have the real ability to step into the realm of master tea.
However, it's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost, and Kaori Ogasawara, who is adept at using retreat as a means of advancement, still has potential.
Answering too quickly will make you seem insincere, while being vague will make you seem perfunctory.
So, after pondering for a while, Junichi Sei silently looked at the wide road ahead and said, "When faced with danger, people's first reaction is to avoid it, so there's nothing shameful about it. It's not just Ogasawara; actually, I'm not a good person either."
"Actually, you've probably figured it out. I know what your high school classmate is planning, but even so, I still want to take this opportunity to teach them a lesson. Otherwise, I could have just told them that I was there to ask for an R8. To be frank, my motives aren't exactly noble."
Ogasawara Kaori quickly looked up, as if afraid that Sei Junichi would be wronged in the slightest, and said, "No, Sei-kun has been kind enough. In that situation, even if you had said it, they would have thought you were putting on a brave face. So Sei-kun's actions were very polite. On the contrary, it was because of me that you had such a bad experience."
"Clearly, all I want is for the two of us to have some fun... some time alone together~"
As she spoke, Kaori Ogasawara became coy again, her long, thin eyelashes glistening with moisture, and her pitiful appearance made one want to kiss her.
In the end, she even covered her face with her hands, unable to look into Junichi's eyes any longer.
But after a while, she couldn't help but peek through a crack in her fingers, displaying the charming and innocent demeanor of a young girl.
Even though Junichi knew that the other person was mostly acting, he couldn't help but press the accelerator a little harder.
The roar of the exhaust pipe nearly made a couple who were about to kiss on the side of the road lose their minds, and their fists went limp.
"You're insane!"
The passenger in the front seat, Kaori Ogasawara, was also startled by the sudden acceleration, her heart skipping a beat. She patted her chest repeatedly before recovering.
Because of Junichi's careless action, the romantic atmosphere that had just been created collapsed.
[Ding! Ogasawara Kaori's dislike level +5!]
