The man rescued from Kabukicho

The car drove to the remote suburbs,

On the way, Yijiyuan asked the driver to stop, and Cilang got out of the car and found that it was a flower shop.

Perhaps because of its remoteness, unlike those fashionable ins-style flower shops in the city, this flower shop is more like the kind of old flower shop that Cilang would pass by on the way from school when he was a child.

There is a song playing in the store, and the song is also very old. It is "World Affairs" by Miyuki Nakajima.

"The world is always changing/Only the stubborn and stubborn will be sad about it/If there is anything in the world that never changes/It is that whenever failure is revealed,

and blame others for their mistakes..."

Ijuin bought a bouquet of flowers.

It is a white lily.

Ci Lang speculated: "Who are you going to mourn for?"

Yijiin stretched out his right index finger, touched his lips with the side of his finger, and said that he will tell you later.

The car stopped in the parking lot of the cemetery.

This cemetery is quite remote. Even though it was the autumnal equinox day, there were not many people who came to offer their condolences.The wind blowing from the mountains brought some autumn coolness, although the sun was shining, it still made people feel the bleakness of autumn suddenly.

Fortunately, they were wearing a full set of Monsuke hakama. It was a little hot and sweaty in the ancestral house before, but now it is just right.Just appearing here in such a formal attire, it may be a bit abrupt,

A passerby hurried past and couldn't help but glance sideways at them.

Cilang followed Yijiyuan and stepped on the stone steps laid along the mountainside.

Yijuin said that the person buried here is the elder brother of Professor Okochi.

Cilang was a little surprised that the elder brother of a well-known professor was buried in such a desolate cemetery.

Professor Okochi is the mentor of Yijiyuan. When Yijiyuan was studying in the School of Medicine of Dongda University, Professor Okochi had high hopes for him. Unexpectedly, after graduation, Yijiyuan was admitted to Kasumigaseki and then inherited the family business. Professor Okochi was very disappointed. I don't want to see Yijiyuan again. Although there is a relaxation later, it is still not the same as before.

Although Cilang persuaded, Yiji Institute promised to try its best to restore the old relationship with the professor, and also called to greet each other during the New Year's day, but due to various reasons such as the consortium's busy affairs, there has been no action to meet.

Why are you here today?

And still in the cemetery?

Generally speaking, if you haven't seen each other for several years, and once you meet, you will disturb others' grave sweeping, saying that it is not polite, it is light, it is simply messing around.

But Yijiyuan must have his reasons for doing so.

Seeing Cilang's doubts, Yijiin did not explain directly, but calmly said: "The professor is old, his elder brother is much older than him, he was also studying at Dongda, but unfortunately passed away during the [security struggle]. "

The security struggle was after the war. The people were dissatisfied with the new "Japan-US Security Treaty" and did not want to be involved in the US-Soviet war. The anti-war struggle led by students and workers was also the last peak of the leftist movement in this country.

In this struggle, the "Controversy at Dongda University", which started with the occupation of the Yasuda Lecture Hall by the Faculty of Medicine of Dongda University, was an extremely important event in the student movement. The incident resulted in the arrest of 375 students.

However, the anti-war ideological trend that does not really reflect on the war, and the leftist movement that does not really penetrate the people, is after all a lame imagination, and what is bred is not a fruit, but a monster.Under the joint strangulation of the US and Japanese governments, the struggle finally embarked on an unforgivable extreme path, with tragedies like the [Asama Villa Incident] declaring a complete failure, and being regarded as a terrorist organization by the public, the leftists have never recovered from it.

People who participated in this movement, even if they did not participate in the extreme events that followed, generally suffered from indifference in their lives and were depressed throughout their lives.

Cilang didn't know much about this period of history, so he just listened quietly.

"Professor Okochi is as good as his elder brother, but he was almost unable to enter Tokyo University because of his past, so he was extremely cautious in this regard. In order to avoid involving his wife and children, he came to worship alone every year." Yijuin explained.

Cilang had heard the description of Yijiyuan before, and knew that Professor Okochi treated Big Cat very well, but he never thought that he was so close to him. He was surprised: "Professor can tell you such a relative's past, it is really an extraordinary trust."

Yijuan nodded.

"In such a situation, the professor comes to worship every year," Cilang sighed, "He must have a deep affection for his brother."

Yijuin's tone was still calm: "As far as I've heard, it's a love-hate relationship. The professor cherishes life very much. It is precisely because he loves his brother so much that he can't forgive him for taking the risk of joining such a dangerous sport, and for his early death. He still can’t let go of it. He also hates the leftists who caused his brother’s death in his eyes, but whenever he encounters a patient whose life has been ruined by that incident, he will always secretly help him.”

In this way, Professor Okochi is indeed an upright and good person as Ijuin evaluated before, Jiro thought.

Because it is a remote cemetery, the overall scale is quite large. They walked up the stone steps on the mountainside and reached the other side of the mountain. There were rows of tombstones all the way to the foot of the mountain. There were few incense sticks. Cilang didn't know the exact location, but Follow Ijuin and start to go down.

"Speaking of which, that movement," Cilang asked softly, "what do you think?"

Cirou wasn't very interested in political history, but he had already developed a habit. When the two of them chatted privately, he would single out some of the things mentioned to ask Yijuin what he thought.

Jiro thinks that it doesn't matter whether the answer given by Yijuin is the answer that Yijuin thinks should be said to Jiro in this way, which is more or less consoling to Jirou (most of these are related to the trough of Jirou's life), or Yijuin's real thoughts , he just wanted to know more about Yijuin.

Yijiyuan said indifferently: "The nature of this country is repetitive. If it is strong today, follow its doctrine; if it becomes strong tomorrow, it will immediately turn 180 degrees and learn the ideas here. No matter how the surface changes, it will not change. The real change is only the means, and the only thing that remains the same is the extreme and self-pity in the bones. That's why the collective unity is so important here."

An island country surrounded by the sea cannot erase the uneasiness deep in the soul, so it is necessary to unite and repel and hostile those who cannot quickly keep up with the collective wind, so as to ensure that when the crisis comes, everyone will give enthusiastically , to survive no matter the cost.

Superficial and extreme, fanatical and vulnerable.

Just like cherry blossoms.

"Don't you like this place?" Even though Cirou was used to Ijuin watching with cold eyes, he was still a little scared to hear such merciless criticism of the country.Although Jiro started from his own experience, he didn't have no sympathy for this passage.

Jiro looked at Yijuin. He knew that since he was a teenager, he was probably too emotional in the eyes of the society. Even though he was a campus idol and was favored by everyone, he always felt sad because of the indifference and malice hidden in the collective. .And Yijuin is too indifferent in the eyes of the society, even though Yijuin is well disguised, it has never been discovered by outsiders.

The strange thing is that from the time when they got along as teenagers until now, they have always resonated more or less with the thoughts of the society.

Whether it was because of love or something else, Ci Lang didn't know, but he couldn't restrain himself from being happy about it.

"How could it be?" Yijiyuan raised the corners of his lips, "The world is so big, I was lucky to be born in the most suitable place for me."

Cilang thinks that he, who thinks the big cat is very cute, is probably terminally ill and completely hopeless.

Cilang suddenly thought of something, and asked worriedly: "...you didn't tell the professor these words, did you?"

At that time, the big cat was a college student, maybe the disguise was not so good?

Yijuin shook his head: "Of course not."

"That is to say, you only told me?" As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Ci Lang's ears turned red with embarrassment.

He was obviously talking about such a solemn topic, yet he only cared about whether Yijiyuan only told him.

Yijiyuan gave a low laugh and said affirmatively, "Ah."

So happy.

It can't be better.

Cilang cleared his throat wanting to hide his ignorance, thought for a while, and then asked: "You chose this situation on purpose, do you know that the professor is not likely to be angry with you today?"

Being guessed by Cilang, Yijiyuan narrowed his eyes slightly in satisfaction, but said cunningly: "Probably."

Cilang looked helplessly at the man's handsome side face. Although he had been encouraging the big cat and the professor to get back together, he was still worried about the big cat when things came to an end: "But, if the professor is angry with you because you didn't go to medicine , then now..."

"Actually, this reason is not accurate. The professor should have noticed a little bit," Yijuin revealed calmly, "Before graduation, he told me that he couldn't see the awe of life from my eyes, so even if he put me As his son-in-law, he hesitated whether he should let me graduate. He doubted that I would not be able to become a qualified doctor. However, as the best student of this year, and the second son of the Ijiin family, even with the status of a professor, there is no valid reason. Even without the circumstances, my graduation certificate cannot be forcibly revoked.”

It is so.

Cilang is not an insider in the industry, so he is unable to comment on the professor's views. In connection with Yijiyuan's description of the professor's praise, and his proactive behavior of showing favor, that is to say, Yijiyuan did not remember the professor's evaluation.

"Because of this, you think the professor is an upright person even more, don't you?" Cilang guessed.

Yijiyuan nodded slightly.

Big cats are really cute.

Immersed in such thoughts, Cilang followed Yijuin and turned into a horizontal alley. Not far away, there was an old man wearing an old-style suit and meticulously combed gray hair. Wipe your glasses.

Yijiin signaled Cilang to stop, and walked over by himself.

Yijiyuan saluted and said, "Professor Okochi."

"It is you."

Professor Okochi who put on his glasses was a little surprised.

Yijiyuan respectfully replied, "It's me."

Professor Okochi: "Clothing like this, did you come here directly after offering sacrifices to your ancestors?"

Ijuin: "Yes."

Professor Okochi looked at the tombstone again: "Yes, I haven't seen you for several years, right?"

Ijuin: "Yes."

Professor Okochi: "It's hard for you to remember."

Hearing this, Yijiyuan just nodded, stepped forward and gently put down the bouquet of lilies.

A moment of silence.

Professor Okochi sighed, looked at the tombstone and asked, "Are you still unable to sleep?"

Yijuin: "It's much better."

Professor Okochi: "Oh, that's a good thing."

Just when Cirou was full of relief for this rather warm conversation, he heard Professor Okochi ask abruptly: "So, what about the illness?"

Yijiyuan even laughed a bit: "You should have checked the literature, this is inborn and cannot be changed."

Silence again.

After an unknown amount of time, Professor Okochi finally turned his head again, raised his eyes to look at Yijuin, and asked seriously, "Are you still unable to cherish life?"

Ijuin replied somewhat evasively: "I have a life that I want to cherish."

Professor Okochi was surprised: "You have children? Are you married?"

"No," Yijuin turned sideways, and gestured to Professor Okochi, who was standing three steps away, "I mean my lover."

For some reason, Ci Lang hurriedly bowed and saluted as if he was meeting his parents.

"Your lover?" Professor Okochi glanced at Cirou, and the first thing he noticed was the other's outstanding appearance. Professor Okochi frowned slightly unconsciously, and repeated the title in his mouth. Looking at Yijiin, his tone became more serious, "So, your own life, are you going to cherish it?"

This time, Yijuin was surprisingly honest.

Yijuin replied calmly: "I love him and don't want to leave him, so I will try my best to avoid impulse or death that will cause bad consequences, does that count?"

A third silence fell.

After some time, Professor Okochi stood up and said briefly, "Since you're here, let's burn incense sticks, you two."

Cilang woke up suddenly, and together with Yijiyuan, they respectfully worshiped the tombstone of the professor's brother.

When they left, the professor said: "At the end of the year, you guys, come to my house for a meal."

Ci Lang hurriedly replied: "Thank you, Hechen and I will definitely go."

Before he finished speaking, he found that the professor and Yijiyuan were looking at him, and his ears turned red.

The professor looked at Cilang's sincere expression and said to Yijuin: "You are lucky."

"Indeed."

Yijiin's tone seemed to be a little smug, he raised the corners of his lips, pulled Cilang to bow to the professor again, and formally said goodbye: "Then, goodbye in winter, professor."

"Ah," Professor Okochi agreed with a tone particle.

Two handsome young men in formal kimonos walked away hand in hand.

Dakochi looked at their backs, squatted down again, looked at his brother's young face on the tombstone, and said in a familiar way: "Well, you saw it, and this is what I said before that I was helpless. It seems that I found it too. It's a miracle that the good boy has a family."

Speaking of this, the elderly professor shook his head and smiled: "The children grow up, and I grow old. Brother, the new life dies, this is life. It's amazing, human beings."

The wind made the candle flame shake.

In the customs of my hometown, this is the expression of joy by the deceased.

So Professor Okochi also laughed.

At this time, Cilang, who followed Yijuin down the mountain, was still filled with Yijuin's answer in his mind: I love him and don't want to leave him, so I will try my best to avoid impulse or death that will cause bad consequences. Does that count?

How can there be such beautiful love stories in the world?

He seemed to hear a doctor's diagnosis: this patient is terminally ill and cannot be saved.

This is good, Cilang thought, there is no need to save me, don't save me.

When getting into the car, before Yijiyuan sat down, Cilang sneaked a kiss on Yijiyuan's side face openly and aboveboard.

Yijiyuan asked in a low voice: "Now, why?"

Ci Lang replied earnestly: "Because you and I can't get back together anymore, there is no hope."

"Oh?" Yijuyuan embraced him, "That is indeed worth celebrating."

Cilang leaned towards Yijiyuan. The two big men looked like junior high school students, but also like kittens and puppies discarded in the same cardboard box. Their foreheads were pressed against each other, hugging and smiling affectionately.

The author has something to say: *Chapter ends tomorrow, let them go back to [Shi Yan Go] to soak in the hot springs~

* Nakajima Miyuki's "World Love" is called the Japanese Leftist Requiem, she sympathizes with the participants in the security struggle. Some songs of Auntie have the color of humanistic care in the era of sympathy for the leftists. I don't know if she is a leftist herself. It doesn't feel like it matters either.There are many unfounded rumors about her on the Internet, so don't take it seriously.

*Historical facts about the post-war Japanese leftist movement mentioned in this chapter (refer to papers such as "Security Struggle and U.S. Policy toward Japan"), Japan's post-war ideological trends have never really reflected on anti-war because of the sharp turn of the U.S. Cold War policy (refer to "Embracing the Defeat" and other American and Japanese writers' observations on post-war Japanese society and ideological trends), of course, these are my thoughts based on searching for information and papers, you can disagree with me, I am not a professional.

*The plot of the professor’s brother in this chapter is determined since I decided to give Yijuin my psychopath cute point. The whole personality of Yijuin comes from my thinking about these aspects. This plot is written to write about the relationship between them Understanding and sharing, I think it is necessary.

*Others can connotate us maliciously in their works, and we can also comment on them in their works. I personally think it is reasonable and reasonable.
