〖Fuji〗 near Sakura Line

"May 5, Osaka."

I didn't expect that Mio Shiratori offered me one within four hours after returning to Yokohama.Thanks to her, I rushed out a column manuscript without even a day off, and she sent me back to rework it twice. After finishing everything, I felt like I was dead, and when I looked in the mirror, I found myself There are scary dark circles under the eyes.I covered my face with a howl and decided not to go out for the next two days.However, the person from TA-Q-BIN immediately rang the doorbell to indicate that there was something I needed to sign for.

It was a photo sent by Fujisuke and a letter.

"These photos can be put together into a heart shape on the wall." Fujisuke said in the letter, and at the same time carefully attached a schematic diagram. The heart shape on the picture is composed of small squares numbered from 1 to 100. Looking at those photos, there are indeed numbers on the back.

I suddenly became excited, completely ignoring the rest, immediately found the scissors and tape, and started to paste the photos on the bedroom wall one by one according to the schematic diagram given by Fujisuke.But the more I went on, the more I felt that something was wrong. It was not until the end that I realized that the photos numbered 98 and 99 were missing.I shook the paper bag my assistant used to hold the photos, and after making sure it was empty, I took out the express package and checked it again, but I couldn't find the two missing photos anywhere.I had no choice but to paste the 100th photo where it should be, and then send an email to Fujisuke to ask if he missed the photo.

While waiting for the return mail, I stood in front of the photo wall and looked at them all.There are night shots in Maizuru, sneak shots at Okayama Station, and snapshots in Fukui... It feels like I have walked through those cities all over again.But I still couldn't figure out which two photos were missing, so I had to concentrate on waiting for Zhou Zhu's reply.

But there was no response from Zhou Zhu for a long time, but a good friend of mine in college called first and asked me to attend the class reunion with her.I'm a bit hesitant, since Kazuhiko Moriyama is likely to be there as well.Seeing through my thoughts, my friend took the initiative to tell me that Kazuhiko Moriyama would not come, so I made up my mind to go.

But I still think things are too simple.Although Moriyama Kazuhiko was not present, I still inevitably became the invisible focus of the class reunion. From time to time, people asked me why I broke up. I smiled awkwardly and tried to blur the past, but with little success. Post just saved my life.I waved my phone to indicate that I needed to call right away and slipped out when I was just answering an email.

Fuji Zhousuke said that he would send me the photo by courier immediately. I was taken aback and told him that I was in Osaka and couldn't sign for it.After a while, I received a new reply from Fuji Zhouzhu:

- "What a coincidence, I'm also in Osaka, if Yoshizawa is convenient, I'll give it to you in person."

I weighed between the photo and the class reunion, and decisively abandoned the latter.So I readily agreed, and left the meeting time and place to the other party to decide.In two weeks, I sponsored a coffee shop in Takimi Koji.

——"By the way, my brother will be there too."

— "...! But I'm not very good at dealing with children, what if I'm hated by your brother!"

This time Fujisuke only replied with a smiley face.

Based on the way he talked about his younger brother before, I always thought his younger brother was at most fifteen or sixteen years old.So when I hurried to the appointed place with the candy I bought temporarily to please the children, only to find that there was a young man about his age sitting next to Fuji, my mood suddenly became subtle.

"Hello." I greeted the other party, trying to slip the candy bag into the small clutch at the same time.Fuji Zhousuke must have noticed, otherwise he wouldn't have laughed so hard that his shoulders shook.

Fuji Zhousuke's younger brother just took the time to meet with his elder brother, and left after sitting for a while, because he still had work to do next.After the solitude started, Fujisuke looked at me with a smile: "Well, let's get to the point between the two of us. But before that, it's better for us to change places."

Fuji Shusuke took me to an Okonomiyaki restaurant on this road. To my surprise, it was the one I used to go to when I was in college.There were not many people in the store, and most of the seats were empty, but Fujisuke pulled me to a table next to the potted plants as if he had a specific purpose.Then, he took out two photos from his wallet and put them on the table.I noticed that the wallet he used was the one I made for him at the Otaru Handicraft Workshop, but the way he flipped the photo upside down made me a little nervous, as if caught in a mystery, I subconsciously held my breath and waited for him Reveal the answer.

The first photo Fujisuke uncovered was very familiar, I glanced at it, and immediately remembered that it should be the one he took when we first met in Kyoto.I was inexplicably relieved, so my tone became lighter: "I thought you wouldn't give me this photo."

"How could it be?" Fujisuke laughed, and then put his hand on the second photo, but didn't lift it immediately.

"Well, I sat in this position three years ago." Fuji Zhouzhu suddenly said this in a nostalgic tone.He lowered his eyes, his eyes hidden behind thin bangs.I stared at his slightly pointed chin, but he raised his head and smiled brighter at me, "Jize is there." He pointed to a place behind me, and I turned my head to look along his fingertips, I was stunned for a moment, and a certain memory resurfaced in my mind.

"At that time Yoshizawa poured vinegar into his okonomiyaki while crying, it seemed like half a bottle was poured." Fuji Shusuke's words drew my attention back, and he looked at me with a smile on his cheek, like It's just waiting for my opinion.

But I am shamefully short of words.

"When Yoshizawa left the store with his high heels on, I followed you. You bought a cone on the side of the road and ate it all the way to the tram stop."

I opened my mouth, and it took me a long time to say, "I feel so ashamed..."

"Not really." Fuji Zhousuke smiled, "So, the last missing photo——"

He was finally about to give me the last piece of the puzzle, but I hurriedly pressed his hand.

"Forget it," I said, "that's the memory I don't want. Didn't you say that you want to create good memories to replace the bad ones, or let's go shopping here for a day, anyway, we also said before that we want to be together Come here."

Fujisuke laughed sullenly, and then opened the photo anyway. "It was filmed by iGood," he said.

In the photo I'm walking past the French windows of the Okonomiyaki restaurant.

"Well, Yoshizawa said before that he would definitely not fall in love at first sight, right? Then why don't you come and try to make love over time?"

I look at him.His every word, every little action became clear again.I used to think he was a difficult person to understand, but.

If "I love you" is used as the decoding code, many things that I didn't understand before have a complete answer.

I looked at him, his pupils were the same color as the sunny sky in Osaka today, so I smiled.

"it is good."

FIN.
