Stand by me

(23)

With the rest of the vacation, Yuxiang Nakajima copied a scripture, hoping that the scriptures written with his fingers would fly to the distant heaven, to his mother, before he left the city where he had lived for 18 years.

Yuxiang Nakajima reported to school earlier than Ryosuke Yamada. He had already made up his mind to take a train from Tokyo with his beloved Leica camera to take pictures of the long autumn sky along the railway and the customs of various villages and towns. .On the grassland over Komori, you may see goats and sheep grazing leisurely, and lovely peasant girls riding tall horses that are in stark contrast to them, waving their whips gently.On the other side of the school, there will be many local aunts wearing Hawaiian shirts on the platform, selling baubles woven from seaweed, squid squid grilled with oil and freshly bubbling beer to passengers.Thinking about it, the sense of anticipation is about to burst through the chest, and the camera shutter must be pressed by him non-stop.

Because Yamada's mother was in a coma and the family couldn't do without people, Nakajima Yuxiang's father couldn't see him off on the day he set off. He couldn't stop sighing, and called a local friend who he knew well to take good care of him.When Nakajima Yuxiang heard his father repeatedly telling that person on the phone, he secretly laughed in his heart that he regarded himself as an 8-year-old child, not an 18-year-old adult.Yamada Ryosuke was afraid that he would be unsafe on the road alone, so he said to Nakajima's father: "Uncle, I'll go and take Yuxiang to the train station and come back." Nakajima Yuxiang repeatedly advised Yamada Ryosuke not to go, but he insisted , just said: "It doesn't matter, I have nothing to do."

They stopped a taxi at the door. Yuxiang Nakajima brought a lot of luggage, and Ryosuke Yamada helped him move them into the trunk.The taxi was speeding towards the train station. Yuxiang Nakajima was holding mints, listening to Ryosuke Yamada nagging in his ear with some pride, telling him what kind of house to rent that is cheap and comfortable, and whether Wasted money to buy unnecessary things, etc. At the end, Ryosuke Yamada coughed softly with a dry throat, Yuxiang Nakajima smiled, and stuffed a candy into his mouth.

After entering the platform, Nakajima Yuxiang took out the ticket from his wallet, turned around and said, "Ryosuke, let's go." Yamada Ryosuke looked at the 7-ELEVEN convenience store at the train station and said, "You are here Wait for me, I'll buy a pack of dried persimmons, and you can eat them on the road." Yuxiang Nakajima had already run to the convenience store before he could refuse, and his back quickly blended into the passing passengers.

When Nakajima Yuxiang found him again, he had already walked back with a bag of persimmons wrapped in kraft paper.Yuxiang Nakajima stepped forward to pick it up, and Ryosuke Yamada smiled at him, as if he was very relaxed in his heart, and said, "I'll watch you get in the car. Please contact me often when you get there. I wish you peace and happiness."

Nakajima Yuxiang held his little hand, so soft, as if he had no bones, but independently supported and took care of his mother. In his extreme teenage years, he did many things that adults could not do.Nakajima Yuxiang took Yamada Ryosuke into his arms, and hugged and said goodbye to him, "Ryosuke, I will not be by your side in the future, and no one will disturb you anymore. It makes you angry. You should quit smoking. It will be harmful to your body." not good."

Ryosuke Yamada hugged him back, wrapped his arms around Yuxiang Nakajima tightly, and buried his face in his shoulder.He felt Yamada Ryosuke nodding, and said nasally, "I see. Go in and find a seat, there aren't many people inside."

Yuxiang Nakajima listened to his words and got into the car and sat down.He saw Ryosuke Yamada rubbing his eyes like a little raccoon outside the car window. Nakajima Yuxiang couldn't see Yamada's expression clearly. He didn't know if that person was crying, but his own tears flowed down quickly, and he quickly wiped them away .

Yuxiang Nakajima spent three days on the train, and the bag of persimmons became the best dessert, and it also stopped the crying daughter of the uncle sitting next to him with braids, and gave a good old Tooth's mother-in-law brings back childhood memories.

After registering at school, Nakajima Yuxiang was busy looking for a house under the introduction of his father's acquaintances.Once he went to a high-rise building to see a house, and unexpectedly met Keito Okamoto who was also holding a book of real estate information.Guiren returned to the UK to reunite with his family after the college entrance examination. He did not expect to study in the same university as himself. It is unusual to reunite with old deskmates. They rented two houses opposite each other on the 40th floor and became good neighbors again.

At noon, Keito Okamoto ordered a lot of high-end takeaways and took them to Yuxiang Nakajima's house to eat with him.Guiren drank beer in big gulps, his eyes shone with sincerity, and he said a lot of things like "We are relatives and friends", "I have always bless you in England".Yuxiang Nakajima was about to blush from the sourness of this gentleman with an exposed temperament, so he hurriedly stopped him and asked him, "Keito, which department do you study? I'm in the Department of Geography and Science. Come and play with me when you have time." Keito Okamoto said: "Okay, I'm studying in the Department of Business Administration." Yuxiang Nakajima said in surprise: "Hey, you have a class today, right? The Department of Business Administration has a high math class in the afternoon." Keito Okamoto stared Eyes widened, he was more surprised than him and said: "Really? Liar, or I'll go home and have a look at the schedule before coming over..." Nakajima Yuxiang's expression on his face was extremely naughty, and he laughed He said, "I'm lying to you, the Department of Business Administration doesn't have an advanced mathematics class today!" Keito Okamoto was stunned, and immediately put on a bitter face: "I'm going to sue you, and I'm still bullying my high school deskmate when I was in college. "
