The driver looked at him again and asked the question again in Chinese, "Do you know the rules?"
"Of course, we are friends."
"Thirteen thousand."
Fujii Itsuki pulled Chitose Yangkui into the car.
In the car, Chitose was very curious and asked Fujii Itsuki quietly in the back:
"Brother Shu, aren't those green license plates the taxis from Tokyo? Why did you come here specifically to take this Chinese guy's car?"
Stupid Chitose, if you come to Tokyo alone, I'm afraid that in just two days, all the pocket money you worked so hard to earn would be spent.
"That one is 50,000, this one is 13,000. They're the same distance, but this car is better. Which one do you want to take?"
"Ah? So expensive. Why is there such a big difference?"
“Because it is an illegally operated black car.”
"No, it's okay, right? There won't be any bad guys."
"Black taxis are relative to the government, but for ordinary people, this is the choice of the market. Who said it is five times cheaper? Only those who are stupid would take a taxi. Don't blame us."
The vehicle started, and before leaving, Yang Kui Chitose accidentally caught a glimpse of the eyes of the row of drivers with green license plates.
The eyes of the group of Japanese drivers clearly revealed one emotion - hatred.
".There are so many things to do when taking a bus to Tokyo."
"This is Tokyo, Chitose."

An hour later, the two got off the train at Tokyo Station.
Along the way, there are verdant paddy fields and small hills rising and falling around the small bungalows, presenting a green rural scenery.
The sky is clear.
Yang Kui Chitose leaned on the car window and watched with great interest.
Her face faces the bright sun and the fresh breeze.
The girl's hair and side bun fluttered in the wind.
As the vehicle passes over the Edogawa River and across the bridge, the tall buildings in the city begin to appear and gradually enter the urban area of Tokyo.
From here, skyscrapers appear one after another in the steel forest, and cars pass through the intricate overpasses.
Chitose was stunned and excited like a country girl who had never seen the world. She shouted Fujii Itsuki and pointed at the towering buildings.
"Brother Shu, look! There are so many buildings! So tall!!"
"I know, I know."
Fujii Itsuki laughed, and the driver in front also laughed.
Everyone will be infected by the vitality of a young girl like Chitose.
What those glass curtain walls seem to reflect is not only the sun's brilliance, but also the prosperity and well-being of the entire city.
Yang Kui Chitose was amazed at the hustle and bustle of traffic on the street under the overpass and the pedestrians surging like a tide.
People meet and interact with each other, creating a busy scene.
As you drive along, you can see shops, restaurants and cafes everywhere, and colorful billboards and giant screens occupy every corner of the commercial street.
Yang Kui Chitose leaned on the car window with both hands, her eyes sparkling:
“Is this Tokyo?”
"It looks good."
"It's nice. Just like in Your Name. There are so many ads, cars, and people."
Chitose Yangkui held her face in her hands and admired it, as if she was dazzled by the prosperity of the metropolis.
Fujii Itsuki looked at her short hair swaying in the wind and remembered how he looked when he first came to Tokyo.
In fact, a long time ago, I couldn’t believe that there were buildings with more than two hundred floors.
After knowing it, I only perceived it in writing.
Only when you really step into Tokyo, really enter this prosperous city, and really set foot on a modern street full of high-rise buildings, can you understand how prosperous Japan's first city is.
At that time, I was also like Chitose, full of longing for this beautiful city, right?
I want to achieve great things here and realize my dream of teaching and educating people.
Of course, the unpleasantness of the metropolis soon became apparent.
There are too many cars on weekends, and there is a traffic jam as soon as you enter the city.
The flight was at 2pm and arrived at Narita Airport at around 4pm. It took an hour to get to the city by car, and now I've been stuck in traffic for another half an hour. It's almost 6pm.
It's getting darker.
Chitose Yangkui looked left and right in the car, seeming very anxious.
She seemed eager to set foot on the ground of this city.
Seeing that the driver was also very anxious because of the traffic jam, Fujii Itsuki paid the fare and got off the car.
It was her first time in Tokyo and Chitose Yangkui was very happy, but she was also a little scared because there were so many people and cars.
She got out of the car in fear and ran to the side of the street to look around.
After adapting for a while, the girl was already extremely excited.
She was very curious that all the shops here were still open at 6pm on weekends!
So bright, so many lights!
You should know that in Otaru, most of the stores are still closed during the day!
"Brother Shu! Tokyo is so awesome!" Chitose looked up and exclaimed.
"Indeed. It's quite impressive."
Fujii Itsuki really hated Tokyo, but when he saw how much Chitose liked it, he couldn't help but start to like this city again.
Chapter 74: Chitose's Eloping Journey (Part )
Chitose's appearance when she first arrived in Tokyo reminded Fujii Itsuki of her past self.
It was my first time setting foot on Tokyo. I was curious about everything and looked around.
I felt that this metropolis was so different from the places I had been to before, and the neon lights were so beautiful.
"Brother Tree, Brother Tree!!"
The girl's voice awakened Fujii Itsuki from his memories. When he focused his eyes on the girl's face again, he saw her undiminished excitement.
Fujii Itsuki was infected by the beautiful girl's smile and smiled as well, saying, "Are you hungry after walking for a while?"
"Yes, a little bit! But compared to this, I would rather go to visit the sights in Tokyo! The streets here alone are so beautiful!"
"can."
Fujii Itsuki looked up and found that the sun had set.
Chitose really came at a good time. Only when Tokyo is just beginning to fall at night does the city look its most beautiful.
"Where do you want to go first, Chitose? We are still in Sumida District, very close to the Skytree. It's that super tall building you just saw."
"You can see the whole of Tokyo from the Skytree, right?"
"Yes."
"Hehe! Then there's no rush! Brother Shu, take me to the most lively place!"
"Chitose likes to be lively."
"Ok!"
"Then let's go to Shibuya."
Kikugawa Station was nearby, so Fujii Itsuki took her by the hand to catch the subway, transferred from the Shinjuku Line to the Hanzomon Line, and finally got off at Shibuya Station.
Chitose Yangkui held Fujii Itsuki's hand tightly throughout the whole process, feeling scared and excited.
Perhaps there were too many people in the carriage, so she lowered her voice a lot.
"Brother Shu, why do everyone here have such dull expressions? They're all looking at their phones."
“I’m used to it.”
“So many people are used to it? That’s amazing.”
As soon as she arrived at Shibuya Station, the girl was stunned as soon as she walked out of the station.
"Brother Tree"
“Is today the Chinese New Year?”
"New Year's Eve?"
"Otherwise, why are there so many people here so late at night? Look, look, over there at the intersection! There are so many people waiting! So many, so many people!"
The girl said with admiration.
Fujii Itsuki looked over and saw that there were indeed many people waiting at the intersection. Across the bright lights of cars on the road, the crowd stretched from below JR Shibuya Station to the end of the street. There was no end in sight.
"This place is so different from Otaru!"
Fujii Itsuki felt the evening breeze blowing from Tokyo Bay and was affected by the mood of the girl beside him. "That would be much more prosperous."
"Brother Tree"
"Ok?"
"I suddenly understand why you came to Tokyo in the first place."
Tokyo is beautiful, but its beauty belongs only to those who see it for the first time.
