[SD] Logic of Wild Dogs

Before the plane took off, the mobile phone was still not connected, and the safety instructions began to be played in the cabin, and Qi Hai silently pressed the shutdown button.

The scenery outside the porthole retreated rapidly, and the body leaned back uncontrollably, as if the backrest of the seat was pushing you forward. In an instant, the ears bulged, and the plane took off.

took off.

Looking out of the window, Qihai saw the gradually shrinking airport first, then the roads and buildings, and the dotted city lights were painted into complex and huge geometric figures, and the black shadows where the lights gradually disappeared were fields, forests, rivers and oceans...

Just left.

Nanami pulled down the visor.

·

A long-distance flight is very tiring, and the journey lasted more than ten hours, coupled with the torment in my heart, when Nanamixue arrived at her apartment in Chicago at ten o'clock in the morning, she was exhausted.

Mother Yoko prepared a feast and waited at the door, while younger brother Dongsi became a little shy and unfamiliar due to the long separation. He shrank behind the bedroom door, only showing a pair of big eyes looking eagerly at Qihai.

"Don't you think about your sister every day? Why did you suddenly become shy when Ah Xue came?" Yoko Nanami smiled and pushed Dongji's back.

"A-Dong, it's my sister." Qi Haiyang's group of daughters put away their luggage and said with a smile.

Qi Haixue was silent.This is... Dongji?So pale, fragile, and thin... On the pointed little face, there is almost only a pair of eyes left, which are still so clear and energetic, and the withered yellow hair is a little long, looking like a girl.

"Adong...? Dongji?" Qihai stretched out her hand.

As if he had received some kind of recognition, the little beast Dongsi jumped into Qihai's arms like coming out of the hole: "Sister!"

He was so light, with the bitter taste of the medicine on his body, Qihai held his brother's hand, and all the fat dimples on the back of his hand disappeared, replaced by dry skin and nails that had lost their blood color. Huhu, holding the warm hand of my favorite brother...

Qihai put her arms around her younger brother, feeling bitter in her heart.

"Okay, don't rely on your sister, she must be very tired after being on the road for so long. Let's eat first." Her Majesty the Queen at the top of the Qihai family pyramid spoke, and the family readily obeyed.

Qihai held her younger brother's hand and sat together, her mother kept picking up vegetables for Qihai, and Qihai kept picking up vegetables for her younger brother.I haven't seen each other for two years, and I always feel as if something is blocking the few people, and the table is filled with politeness and alienation.

Qi Haiyang raised his glass of red wine: "It's great that Axue is here, the family can finally be together. I really hope that the transfer order from the head office will be issued as soon as possible, so we won't have to be separated again, okay Dong Si?"

"En!" Nanami Dongji smiled brightly and nodded vigorously.

Qihai patted his younger brother's head, but didn't speak.

……

Everything in Chicago is so strange, with towering skyscrapers like jungles, people of all kinds of hair colors and skin tones, English that is too fast to be heard clearly, and the river of vehicles is constantly flowing every day.Lake Michigan area expanding like a sea, and frozen rivers...

Qi Haixue looked down from the apartment window on the fourteenth floor, the wind whirled across the street, the dark alleys where the sun could not shine in the clear afternoon, and the gray-brown apartments were densely packed.

"What are you looking at?" Yoko Nanami walked into the room holding the quilt she had dried.

"Mom." Qihai turned her head, got up and left from the window, "I'll help you."

The two worked together to spread the quilt, and Yang Zi patted the soft quilt and said with a smile: "The quilt cover has a pattern of stars, do you like it?"

"Yeah." Qihai smiled and leaned on her mother's shoulder.Although it is a strange city, although it is a narrow high-rise apartment building, although it is a piano practice room with an extra bed, as long as the family is together, it will be fine.

The rare warm moment between mother and daughter was quickly broken by a call.

"Sister—!" Dongji Nanami was wearing pajamas, blowing in like a gust of wind.

Yangzi reached out to pick it up nervously: "Slow down, Dongji."

The little guy threw himself into Qihai's arms, raised his head and looked at Yangzi beggingly: "Mom, I want to sleep with my sister, is that okay?"

Yang Zi said: "No, this is a single bed, Dong Si, you will fall off."

"But I want to sleep with my sister."

Qi Haixue's heart softened at the skillful dog's eye attack, she put her arms around her brother, and rubbed his forehead against his withered and soft short hair.She hadn't seen each other for two full years, and her brother's thin and pale appearance shocked her for a long time at first.A Dong in Qi Hai's heart is still the stubborn boy who ran fast but always fell down.

When I was young, my mother always told my younger brother to slow down, slow down, but A-Dong would say: "But I want to run, Mom!" 】

[If you run so fast, you will fall down. 】

[But, I want to run, Mom! 】

No matter how painful the fall is, the child will never slow down even a little.Running with a smile, like a sun-dried monkey, he only calms down when he is practicing the piano.Touji, he was originally that kind of child.

Qi Hai patted his younger brother on the back distressedly: "Mom, it's just for one night."

"Please, Mom~!"

Being watched pitifully by the siblings together, Yangzi smiled helplessly: "I really can't do anything about you, let's not be an example~!"

"Great!" Dong Si clapped his hands and walked around with a smile.

·

In the evening, Qi Haiyi also rushed over from his company in New York, and the family had a happy Christmas dinner.Qihai subconsciously continued to pick up vegetables for his younger brother, and after a while Dongsi complained loudly: "Too much! Too much! It's all piled up!"

Qihai stared at his younger brother's pointed chin, and then at his thin face, his face looked ugly-it felt really bad to the touch.

Qi Hai frowned and narrowed his eyes: "Eat up, don't leave anything behind."

So Dong Si buried his head in eating with a bitter face.

Yangzi couldn't help laughing and said: "Before Dong Si always refused to eat properly, but now it's all right, but someone will take care of you."

"Dong Si has been brought up by Axue since he was a child. This guy listens to his sister the most. Instead, we have no authority as parents." Qi Haiyang said cheerfully.

"Who made... elder sister the scariest." Dong Si poked at the vegetables in the bowl and said aggrieved in a small voice.

So the whole family laughed.

After washing in the evening, the siblings nestled in Qihai's small bed. After the lights were turned off, there was only a pink night sky reflected by the everlasting lights of tall buildings.

Just like when she was very young, Qihai turned her body half sideways, and gently patted her brother's back with her arms.

"Does the injection hurt?"

"painful."

"Is it hard to take medicine?"

"bitter."

"Did you cry?"

"..."

If there is no answer, he must have cried.

"Sister, sister. Let me tell you a secret." Dong Si whispered while holding Qi Hai's hand.

The hand is cold, small and thin.With an inexplicable sore nose, Qihai suppressed it and asked calmly, "What secret?"

"You have to promise not to tell mom and dad."

"Ah."

"When I lived in the children's ward, I lived next door to a girl."

"……Um?"

"We had the surgery on the same day and she seemed to be troubled. I never saw her smile. She was always crying, always crying, and crying very loudly. But when I was with her she would It's a lot calmer, maybe because we both know how it hurts."

Qihai hugged her younger brother tightly.

"...Later, about a week later, she was transferred to a ward deep in the corridor, but there was also crying every night. I couldn't sleep well at that time, and I could hear it. The adults forbade me I went to see her, but I know she is going to die, she must be very scared." Dong Si clenched Qihai's hand, "I was also very scared, because the crying gradually became inaudible. Then...then the ward It was free, and transferred to other children..." Dong Si shuddered.

Qihai silently tightened her embrace.

"I miss you so much, sister."

"Yes, me too."

"I think every day that I'm going to get better and then I can see you."

"Ah."

"Every day I think about playing the violin for you, and then you accompany me with the piano."

"Ah."

"..."

The bells and cheers of Christmas Eve came from outside the window, vaguely.

"...Adong."

"what?"

"A-Dong is amazing...you are very strong and brave. My sister is proud of you."

"Actually... I'm scared..."

There was a rustle of turning over, and then a small whimper.

Qihai hugged her younger brother tightly, tightly.

·

The jet lag could not be overcome, and Qihai woke up suddenly at four o'clock in the morning.It was like having a dream, but when I opened my eyes, I forgot all about it.Something was pulling in the distance, she closed her eyes, and someone's figure appeared and disappeared in her mind.

Next to him was Dong Si, who was soundly asleep, and Qi Hai sat up in her cloak, only the wind was howling outside the window, and Chicago hadn't woken up yet.

She sat quietly, listening, until the world beyond the curtains gradually brightened.

A sudden and desperate thought floated up in her heart, and an inexplicable panic made her clutch her chest.

【Perhaps, I will never see Mitsui-kun again in my life. 】

……

After breakfast, Qi Haiyang went out to work, and Yangzi arranged for the two children to go shopping as well.

The TV in the living room was showing the scenery of Chicago, Qihai stared at the screen silently, the English subtitles flashed by, and the low and smooth American English was noisy, and it was hard to understand why.

The blue waves of Lake Michigan on the screen are like the sea.However, this is not Shonankai, this is not Kanagawa, no matter how much I can comfort myself that a family is home or something, I still can't... I don't like this place, this apartment...is not home.

It would be great if the whole family returned to Kanagawa... I couldn't help but have impossible extravagant hopes in my heart, which made me even more sad.

Dong Si excitedly pulled Qi Hai to sit beside the piano: "Sister, sister, come and play the piano, and I will accompany you."

"Huh? But I haven't touched the piano for a long time."

"It's okay, come on~! Come on~!"

"You mustn't laugh at me!"

"Ok!"

Qihai sat on the piano bench in her skirt, stroking the cold and slippery black and white keys with her fingertips.She pondered for a while, and a figure flashed in her mind... She stretched out her finger and pressed a button with some hesitation.

The voice was ugly and trembling, as if he was about to cry.

Then came the second, and the third, the notes were gradually connected into a string - clumsy and stubborn, Qi Hai's piano sound spread out in the room empty.

The melody that I once knew so well flowed from the tip of my heart to my fingertips like flying. I raised my wrists and then lowered them, striking the keyboard heavily. There were some invisible emotions mixed in and echoed in the small piano room. Block, cannot avoid.

Qi Hai forgot everything in a flash, just venting, what can't be forgotten, can't give up, the emotion that hovers in the heart and the whole chest is about to explode - it's expanding, it's hitting!Like a mountain rock cracking, like a waterfall pouring, like a lone eagle gliding across the track of the wind, like the twilight, like the hot summer, like the cold winter...hesitation, confusion, depression, sadness, sweetness, bitterness, passion and lingering...it will explode , It's about to explode!

I don’t know when, the beautiful chord of the violin joined in, the sound is so gentle, it seems to be soothing the fierce piano melody, the two emotions are chasing each other up, the sound of the piano is ups and downs, suddenly In the high sky, suddenly fell into the endless abyss.The violin followed closely and refused to let go.

Until the piano player played a wrong key, the emotion that was so abundant and terrifying suddenly broke, and the whole piece of music came to an abrupt end.

Frightened in his heart, Qi Hai gasped for breath, only to realize that tears were streaming down his face.

"elder sister."

Qihai wiped her eyes and turned to look at her younger brother.

"Sister, why did you...?" Dong Si put down the violin, and walked over with tears in his eyes, "Are you... missing someone?"

Qihai stretched out her hand, and Dong Si naturally leaned her head on it: "The sound of the piano just now...was so painful. My chest was pulled up, it was stuffy... sister, don't be sad."

"Hmm..." Qihai hugged her younger brother, "I'm not sad."

I'm not sad, just a little sad.

Just leave completely like this?From then on, I lived under another sky.I haven't said goodbye yet...

It's still late at night in Kanagawa right now?

I'm just a little sad...

Mitsui-kun, I miss you...

·

Dong Si lay in Qi Hai's arms, with a lonely expression on his face.

Who is that?who's that person?The bastard who stole my sister's heart and made her feel sad—who is it?

Ruthless Little Theater:

Kanagawa, Tetsuo's apartment.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah!!" Mitsui Shou sneezed several times.

Aaron was amused by the red-nosed Mitsui: "Ahahaha——! Mitsui, look at your miserable appearance!"

Stared at by Mitsui, he fumbled for a tissue box in a dizzy state, only feeling a splitting headache.

"Doesn't the hangover feel good?" Tie Nan helped pass the tissue with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Thanks." Mitsui frowned, and his temples buzzed as soon as he spoke.

Aaron laughed again, and Tetsuo stepped forward helplessly and knocked him on the head.

"Hey, hey, I said. Why are you one or two staying here with me?" Tie Nan complained, "I still want to catch a horse for Christmas... Really, three big men stay in one room, The air in the room is dirty..."

"Ahaha... the real man is one who doesn't value sex and despise friends, Tie Nan!"

"Aaron, shut up...your laughter makes my head hurt even more! You bastard!"

Shut up... your head is buzzing, your heart is empty...

Mitsui covered his head and closed his eyes.

The author has something to say: Going back to my hometown for the New Year is completely reduced to the role of a nanny who looks after the children and takes care of the elderly. A three-year-old nephew, a seven-year-old niece and a 94-year-old grandmother are exhausted.

There is no Internet in the countryside, so I can only code first these days, and update it all at once when I go home on the fourth day of junior high school.

Putting the author's scumbag on it, Mitsui Wild Dog's spring is coming soon.

I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year and a prosperous Year of the Horse!
