[SD Doujin Xianliu] Song of the Years

31

As usual, when Xiandao went to Rukawa's house to change the water for the fish, he found that the door was unlocked, and there was no sign of it being pried. It was strange. Has his memory deteriorated? Why hasn't he locked the door yet? It is locked.

Did you come back early Rukawa?

Who are you?

Xiandao was taken aback for a moment, then he saw the extra black high-heeled shoes on the shoe rack, they were as delicate as the woman in front of him, he was a little dazed, who are you?

I am Xiaofeng's mother.

Xiandao was taken aback, not for who the woman was, he just remembered that Rukawa once said that he looked like his mother, but the person in front of him had a melon-seeded face with willow-leaf eyebrows, dark almond eyes were very gentle, and the corners of his mouth smiled extraordinarily gracefully, Where does it look like that cruel and invincible three-white-eyed fox.

How do you have the keys to our house?

Xiandao came back to his senses, but there was still an accident, the elder who only appeared in Rukawa's words, unexpectedly just appeared like this.

Hello, I'm Rukawa's friend, my name is Sendo.

Rukawa's mother looks more surprised than Xiandao, so you are that Xiandao.

ah?What's wrong?

Ah no, it's nothing, Chuan's mother smiled lightly, I just didn't expect that Xiaofeng and you are so close.

Huh?

Xiaofeng told us about you. He said that he made friends here. They are very good friends and they are also very good at playing.

Xiandao scratched his head, he was a little embarrassed, he couldn't even understand the words, he really couldn't imagine what Rukawa looked like when he mentioned him, would he be happy because of himself, his thinking seemed to be messed up, how could he just hear Rukawa's mother With this sentence, there is sudden joy, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be.

Rukawa's mother invited him to sit down in the living room, and wanted to pour him a cup of tea, but she was a little embarrassed, and started to search for things after boiling the water.

That...Xiandao took out a box of tea from the small cabinet under the table, are you looking for this?

Eh?Rukawa's mother was quite surprised, ah... yes, I'm really sorry to make you laugh.

It's okay, Rukawa doesn't drink this, so I keep it here.

Well, it seems that people really don't come to the house very often.

It seems that you and uncle rarely come back.

That's right, work is also very busy, and the child insists on coming back, so he can only make more phone calls to contact him.

Xiandao was surprised, he seemed to have heard something very strange, which Rukawa had never mentioned since he met him.

Rukawa... did you live in America before?

Um?Yeah, didn't the kid tell you that?

Ah, Xiandao smiled, feeling unbelievable in his heart, maybe I forgot.

Rukawa's mother made a cup of hot tea for Xiandao. During the conversation, Xiandao learned that Rukawa went to the United States with his parents ten years ago, lived there for several years, and returned to Japan to attend Fuqia Middle School after graduating from elementary school.

Xiandao didn't understand why Rukawa came back, and he came back alone.

The United States is not only a developed country, but also the cradle of basketball. With Rukawa's enthusiasm and dedication to basketball, it doesn't seem like someone who is willing to give up there.

His father and I really want to know this question. Rukawa’s mother seemed a little helpless, and there was sadness in her smile. At that time, we had already settled in the United States. We had decided to send him to a better school, but he suddenly wanted to When I returned to Japan, I went to buy a plane ticket by myself, and there was a fight between father and son over this matter. In the end, his attitude was still very firm. We had no choice but to let him come back.

When Rukawa's mother said this, she looked around. She said that she originally wanted to sell the house, and the family immigrated to the United States completely. Because of Rukawa's relationship, they stayed until now. Expressing feelings with them, always staying alone, not knowing what she was thinking, often made her feel sad, including after returning to Japan, Rukawa rarely called them, and it seemed that she would never go to Wondering if they would worry about his solitary life, like a weed.

Classmate Xiandao, Rukawa's mother smiled slightly, her eyes were gentle and sincere, and her tone was full of pleas. If possible, can you ask him for me?

Huh?

May I?I think this kid might tell you what's on his mind. After all, it's the first time in a long time that I've seen him get so close to someone. Even my mother is a little jealous.

me?Xiandao also smiled, the setting sun shines through the glass window, staining his face red, why don't you ask him in person, maybe you will have an answer.

Rukawa's mother shook her head slightly, and said, if I get the result from the question, I won't leave it to you now. This kid has the same temper as his father, and he won't speak when he doesn't want to say more. There is absolutely no way.

Xiandao does not agree to this, I may not be able to accept your request, because if he is willing to tell me, then all I will do is help him keep the secret, sorry auntie.

Rukawa's mother was unexpected, and for a moment she seemed to see a personality that was very similar to Rukawa's, and she was very familiar with it.

That's it... I should be the one who should say sorry, I was the one who was abrupt.

Xiandao glanced at the clock on the wall. It was only 15 minutes until six o'clock. He was startled and almost delayed his business.

Auntie, I have to go to the station to pick up Rukawa, so let's go first.

Ah, I was so busy chatting with you that I forgot, he came back today, and he hasn't finished his meal yet.

Xiandao didn't expect it, and asked Rukawa's mother if she came back to cook him a meal.

Rukawa's mother looked very embarrassed, and said that she wanted to go back to China to visit during the holidays, but no one answered the phone call to Rukawa. She didn't know that he was going to participate in the training camp until today when she called the school. I want to prepare a good dinner for him, hoping to make him happy.

Doesn't it take a long time to fly from the US to Japan?

Compared with the time Xiaofeng lived alone in Japan, it is not long.

That's right, do I need to help you bring back any materials?

Rukawa's mother waved her hands again and again, no need, I've bought everything, and Xiandao-san will also eat here at night, I have prepared a lot of things.

May I?Then I'm welcome.

Xiandao put on his shoes and went out. Then he remembered something. By the way, did you buy curry?

That's right, I want to make beef for Xiaofeng. Is it too strong for your liking?

Ah no, Xiandao said with a smile, Rukawa doesn't like it, he never eats curry.

Eh?Rukawa's mother froze for a moment, Xiandao finally stopped smiling when she saw her expression, so... I don't know, he didn't tell me before that he didn't like it, I thought...

Xiandao didn't think so, and said with a smile that maybe Rukawa just didn't want to disappoint her hard work, but he was a fool who ate all the beef bibimbap made by genius.

After Rukawa's mother heard this, she had a little anticipation on her sad face, really?

Well, you should trust his kindness instead of worrying that he has other ideas, that kid is not a complicated person.

After Rukawa's mother heard it, she couldn't speak for a long time, and then she grinned after a while, with joy gushing from her heart.

How could she only figured out something until now, and suddenly realized.

It was a pleasure chatting with you, but I'm going to be late, Sendo-san.

Why!Really are!I am leaving!

Be careful on the road.

When Rukawa got out of the car, he saw Xiandao panting under the stop sign, thinking that this idiot must have overslept again.

Ha... Huh, fortunately we caught up!

……

Xiandao wiped his sweat, and Rukawa found that most of his T-shirt was soaked with water. The summer in Kanagawa is always so hot, and it still doesn't cool down in the evening.

It's okay if you can't catch up.

I haven't seen him for a month, but Rukawa hasn't changed much except that his hair has grown a bit. Xiandao touched his head subconsciously and said something, let's get a haircut tomorrow.

Rukawa felt that he seemed to have heard this sentence before, in which scene before, this thought suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.

It turns out that both he and Xiandao have realized that they can have memories.

Xiandao ignored Rukawa's silence, and walked side by side talking to himself, should I say something.

Rukawa raised a question mark.

Xiandao turned his head and smiled at him, there was a glint of the setting sun in his bent eyes, welcome home, Xiaofeng.

Rukawa responded with an idiot look, I don't want to play this trick anymore.

I'm not joking, Xiandao shook his head twice, I'm calling your name, childish.

Rukawa was stunned, and after realizing it, he could only jump two words, why?

Immortal Dao is strange, you don't even resist?

Rukawa turned his head away, didn't take it seriously, and called out whenever he wanted.

Then I will call you Feng, not the same as your mother.

Rukawa stopped abruptly, what did you say?

I met your mother, she came to see you.

Rukawa understood, and then walked home.

Xiandao can't understand, are you unhappy?

No.

Xiandao just can't understand Rukawa's mood that is neither happy nor angry, but you are not happy either.

Rukawa's face puffed up, he was not a child, and he still yelled.

Your mother is very nice, I just chatted with her for a while.

Ok.

And you lied.

what?

You are nothing like your mother.

Rukawa thought he was going to say something, scratched his head, and said, she is my stepmother.

Xiandao's throat choked, he didn't expect it at all, I seemed to mention something... I'm sorry.

Rukawa didn't care, and said something trivial.

Rukawa said that his biological mother died of illness when he was young, and his father remarried when he was six years old and started a new family. He also has a half-brother who is also in the United States.

Xiandao couldn't figure it out, and asked Rukawa why he came back by himself, how is the family in the United States? Rukawa's answer was very short, he said.

I don't like it there.

And Xiandao didn’t know until today that Rukawa’s mother was also an excellent basketball player. She won many awards in Japan when she was young. Rukawa’s basketball cells are probably inherited from her mother. Rukawa's mother was very happy about it, but Rukawa's father had a different voice. His father was a typical old-fashioned old man. He hoped that Rukawa could be a pianist and help him realize his unrealized dream. The quarrel ended with the mother's sick truce.

Rukawa also said that the relationship between parents is actually very good, even if they quarrel, they will not say hurtful words, the level of war is no different from that of children, once when his father coaxed him to play the piano while his mother was away, he fell asleep on the piano stand and couldn't wake up He still remembers the sound of his mother laughing at his father. At that time, his mother always said that he would like to sleep because his father always played the piano. What if he fell asleep while playing the basketball game in the future.

Immortal Dao is incredible, you remember so many things at such a young age.

Ok.

Rukawa's memory is very early, and he has it since he was less than three years old. He thinks that maybe because he remembers too many things, it is difficult to let go. His father is also like this. In the two years when his mother passed away, he would almost be in a daze when he saw basketball. , the last person cried silently, but he never cried, just like his mother never cried.

He mentioned finding a new mother to his father, because he started to go to kindergarten, and he found that many of the parents who pick up and drop off in the kindergarten are parents who come together. At that time, he always thinks that his father is very lonely, and there should be someone to replace his mother accompany him.

If mother could still speak, she would definitely make the same decision for father.

The new mother is very nice, but he is used to living alone at home. After the death of his mother, his father was busy with work. Except for the nanny and the cat, there was almost no life at home. With the new mother, the situation seemed to improve, and in the second year, They decided to live in America.

Rukawa can probably guess what his father was thinking, even though he was just in elementary school at that time, he had hard-to-let go memories of his homeland, leaving to start again, this is not something unforgivable, and Rukawa does not object.

Dad is an interpreter, and he has been fascinated by it since he was a child. The language of foreign life is not the biggest problem, but the unaccustomed diet, partners with different hair colors, their eyes are so strange when they look at them, and their tone of voice is full of contempt. Even His dream of playing basketball only received disdain.

He didn't like that place, inside and out, neither.

The first quarrel with my father was probably when he decided to go back to Japan. He missed everything in his hometown, just like his mother. He believed that dreams could be realized no matter where he was, but he had to go to the place he wanted to reach. Against his father's objection, he ran to the airport and secretly bought a ticket back home. When he was packing his luggage, he was discovered by his father.

Dad kept his promise. Since he returned to Kanagawa, he never asked about anything. He would only ask the other party about the weather when he called occasionally. When he missed him, he would give him a lot of pocket money. At that time, he only paid living expenses, and Rukawa found that his father became more and more like a child as he got older.

Fortunately, he is like his mother.

Xiandao can't tell what kind of mood he is in. He is happy that Rukawa told him so much, or he is depressed. He didn't know until now, or he is sad that Rukawa has such a sad past. Why didn't you tell me?

But Rukawa said something familiar, but you didn't ask.

Xiandao wondered where he had heard this, would you tell me if I asked you?

Otherwise how do you know now.

……

Rukawa's rare long sentence is like a shot in the arm at this moment, Xiandao's whole body is refreshed, wondering why he suddenly became so hypocritical and troublesome.

That's right, hey, it's home.

Rukawa watched Xiandao skillfully open the door of his house, and could smell the sweat on his body because he was standing close. His back was very wide, and he was a little taller than himself. The roots took root in his head, and he was familiar with every move of Xiandao, even the lines of his arm muscles, the veins on the back of his hand when he turned the doorknob, he felt particularly comfortable for a moment, for no reason.

It wasn't until this meeting that Rukawa was convinced that he was really, there was no other person who could reassure him like Xiandao.

You inserted the wrong key, Zhang.
