[SD Doujin Xianliu] Song of the Years

65

Eguchi, ask Xiandao if he will come to the party at night.

He said today that he would go, but not too late.

Do you have to go back at eight o'clock again?

Yes, it's still the same.

This guy is always late, but he is so punctual when he returns. Is his girlfriend too strict?

ah?Isn't his girlfriend abroad?

That's really incomprehensible, you have to be liberated when your girlfriend isn't here!

Eguchi smiled, pressed his fingers a few times, and dialed a series of numbers. I will complain later, and I will urge him to go out first.

Eguchi met Xiandao when he was looking for a roommate. He came from Chiba and enrolled in the same year as Xiandao. At the beginning of the school year, he was let go by the roommate who had originally agreed to rent together. The senior who helped find someone said it was a coincidence and told him It happened that a freshman asked him about off-campus shared housing. The two made an appointment to meet, and after the conversation, they both felt that it was suitable, and they became roommates from alumni.

Recalling the scene a few months ago, Eguchi is still a little funny. When he first saw Xiandao, he was shocked. Eguchi was not good at sports, he was not tall or even a little slender, and the friends around him were nothing more than ordinary At first sight of the big and tall Xiandao, he almost backed away, for fear that if he disagreed with him in the future, this big guy would be particularly rude, but Xiandao just smiled friendly, his eyebrows and eyes were full of spring. sunshine.

I was a little puzzled when I learned that the Xiandao family was located in Eguchi, Tokyo. Shinjuku is not too far from Tokyo University, so why rent a house by myself.

Xiandao scratched his head and said that he was kicked out by his mother. His family thought that he had already gone to college, and he should start learning to live by himself and be independent as soon as possible.

Your mother is really a decisive person...

Ahaha anyway, I don't care about this kind of thing, you can live by yourself and be free, please give me your advice in the future.

Don't say that, I just came to Tokyo, and I'm not familiar with many places, so I have to ask you.

Xiandao smiled and said that there is no problem, and he will try his best to help. At first, Eguchi thought that the other party was just a superficial courtesy. After getting along for a while, he was convinced that he really met a reliable roommate. Although Xiandao is a bit lazy, he He has a kind personality and is willing to help others. He neither creates troubles and pressures, nor loses his temper at will. It is the first time in his co-living career that he and his roommates get along so comfortably. No objection, nodded and agreed.

The only thing that makes Eguchi feel puzzled is that it has been a semester since the co-tenancy, and he still has a sense of distance between him and Xiandao, which is not obvious on weekdays, and can only be discovered when he ponders in his heart. He doesn't chat often, watching videotapes and fishing in his spare time are the most common things Eguchi does, and he rarely talks to him about himself. He only knows that Xiandao has a girlfriend. This is when he saw Xiandao's tattoo. What I discovered was that when he curiously asked about it that time, Xiandao showed a different smile than usual.

It was only in the few words later that Eguchi learned that Xiandao’s lover went to school in the United States. They met in high school and had a good relationship. They would call and chat every day. Most of Xiandao’s living expenses were contributed to international calls. , working part-time together in order to buy a mobile phone of his own. Eguchi was very envious from the bottom of his heart. He and his girlfriend broke up because of the end of their senior year in high school. He went to Tokyo to study, while his girlfriend stayed in Chiba. They stayed in Japan. It is still impossible to cross the border, let alone imagine what kind of experience it is to cross the border.

Sometimes at gatherings, someone would joke and ask Xiandao if it is too early to decide who to marry. After all, college life is colorful, and no one knows what will happen in four years. Maybe the tattoo is still there after graduation, but the lover Already changed.

Xiandao usually smiles and doesn't speak, and doesn't pay much attention to the heartbroken voices of the opposite sex around him. Most people are curious about what Xiandao's girlfriend looks like. It can make a good young man as boring as a married man at a young age.

Hey, Xiandao, why haven't you returned today?

That's right, it's almost nine o'clock. It's really rare to see.

Xiandao opened a drink and said that Rukawa went to participate in outdoor activities in the past two days, but he couldn't answer the phone, so he was fine.

Did you come home at eight just to make a phone call?

This is also impossible, the time difference is too great.

Why bother, let her come back.

That's impossible.

Or if you go to America too, your family should be fine.

Xiandao shook his head with a smile and said nothing.

It was after Xiandao’s 19th birthday that he saved enough money to buy a mobile phone. After installing the phone card, he went back to his room and called Rukawa. Rukawa was about to go out to practice. listen.

It's me!

……

I have my own number, you just need to remember me in the future, you can find me anytime.

Oh?

How about it, be surprised, I earned it by working for two months.

Rukawa was indeed a little surprised that Xiandao, who has always been insensitive to money, would have a consumption plan, what an idiot.

Xiandao on the other end of the phone just laughed, sounding very happy, I think so too!And I'll keep working.

what.

You can pay a little more!

Are you a fool, learn.

Don't worry about this, I am seriously studying, and I should be able to work hard to get a scholarship next year.

Rukawa listened, and suddenly fell into silence. At that moment, he suddenly wanted to see the changes in Immortal Dao with his own eyes. He was no longer as free as he was in high school, and he would consider more things. He was more mature than before. , albeit subtle, and it all happened in places he couldn't see, thousands of miles away.

By the way, I received the things you sent me this morning. What a surprise, you didn't tell me.

I'd be happier not telling you.

Why are you so unexpected.

idiot.

Rukawa mailed a gift a month in advance. Xiandao was still a little dazed when he received the package this morning. He realized the address on the package and opened it in a hurry. In addition to a bracelet, there was also a jar that was in Kanagawa before. The fruit candy that I often chew, the card says happy first birthday, and the two sentences written in English are quite beautiful.

Xiandao couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional, the photos taken in Tokyo are still vivid in his memory, but the marriage has been a year ago.

Xiandao would also send some photos to Rukawa from time to time, some of him were also gangsters, and Akira Rukawa was alive and well. He told Rukawa that he would take the cat and fish to live together in a rental house when school started next semester, because he was still used to having gangsters at home. On troublesome days, Xiandao’s mother said that the underworld would often scream out of the window alone, and there was nothing but the blue sky outside the window. Xiandao thought that perhaps the little thing could sense where his father left, and also had some kind of yearning that he only understood .

When he mentioned to Eguchi that he wanted to bring the underworld to raise him, Eguchi thought it was a coincidence, and said that he also likes small animals. There are several dogs in Chiba's house.

Is it my girlfriend's cat?

Be it, because although I picked it up, I am closer to him.

Same as me!My dog ​​also has a better relationship with my girlfriend.

For the first time, the two of them had something to talk about, but before they could fully enjoy themselves, Xiandao's phone rang. When they saw the call, it was their home number.

Xiandao's mother said that the underworld is gone.

I poured cat food for it at noon. After drying the clothes, I didn’t see the cat again. I thought I just went for a stroll in the park as usual, but I didn’t come back until night, and I didn’t eat the cat food. I don’t know where I went. I searched all over the neighborhood None were found.

What to do, Zhang, could it be taken away by someone?

Xiandao was stunned, covered the phone and went out.

At the beginning, the cat card of the underworld only had the name engraved on it, and there was no contact information of the owner. Once it was lost, it would undoubtedly disappear.

The holiday crowd was as crowded as the waves. After searching all the places that the underworld likes to go on weekdays, Xiandao became more and more disappointed. There was no trace of it everywhere. People were stunned and almost kept their eyes open until dawn.

The cat-hunting revelation was finally posted. Xiandao asked the store manager for two days off. He was looking for it from morning to night in the scorching summer. Sweaty but cold.

It would be fine if Rukawa was there.

Where there are Rukawa, there are gangsters.

Sorry Sakuragi-san!I am late!

It's okay, it's okay, you take a break!

No, no, you can start.

So where do we start?

Mmm!Then let's go... eh?

Um?What's wrong?

Haruko inadvertently found something familiar, at the seaside that she passed by every day.

Sakuragi took a look, and saw a black cat sitting on the Diaoyutai not far away, staring at the sea without moving.

The sun is about to rise, the sky is full of rays of light, and the memory goes back to that cool spring day. There is a cat that is exactly the same as the back in front of me.

As soon as Haruko approached the cat, she noticed it, and turned her head to look at her. The bright cat tag was hanging around her neck, and the memories overlapped at that moment. Even the collar was still the same as it was at that time.

Haruko was a little surprised and couldn't believe it.

This is Rukawa-san's cat!
