Stand by me

(36)

Nakajima Yuxiang knew that he could find thousands of reasons to give up returning to China, but he couldn't make up his mind to hand over the materials for immigration.Keito Okamoto and his predecessors in the company felt unreasonable about his behavior.Ryosuke Yamada is no longer here, and the future he holds is so out of reach. Yamada is what he wants, and he is powerless to resist.Staying in Paris does not seem to have a bright future and a bright future. Yuxiang Nakajima thought to himself that successful people would not be as indecisive as him.

The day before his birthday, Nakajima Yuxiang received a postgraduate diploma from the University of Paris [-]. He and his classmates celebrated all night at the "Encounter Palm" bar and got drunk.It's better to be drunk so that you don't feel anxious about tomorrow, because deep down you always want your family to celebrate for you.That's what kids do when twisted and sad to the limit, they sleep.

Nakajima Yuxiang didn't know how long he had slept. When the doorbell woke him up, he felt that it was still dark outside.He rubbed his eyes, opened the curtains, the sunlight outside the window was pure, and sprinkled the softest and most beautiful parts into the room.The mobile phone showed that it was just after 10:[-] in the morning, and Yuxiang Nakajima turned the handle of the door, "Who is it?"

After seeing the person's face clearly, Nakajima Yuxiang froze there, all kinds of complicated emotions passed like floating clouds in the sky, and it took a long time before he said please come in.Except for meeting Yamada Ryosuke in the restaurant where he worked, Nakajima Yuxiang thought that there would be no other situation that could surprise him like this, until now he met his father.

"Yuxiang, your child is much thinner, have you eaten well?" Dad said.Maybe it was because of running around on the plane, his face was still tired.

"I eat a lot every meal." Yuxiang Nakajima subconsciously pressed his stomach aching from drinking too much alcohol, and took his father to the living room, "Come in and sit down."

Dad came over, sat on the sofa, looked around, "It smells so strong."

"Yesterday was the graduation party, so I drank too much. Let me open the window." The wind blew on Yuxiang Nakajima's face, with a cool softness, and he held the window sill tightly with one palm, because He needs a support to remind himself that he is not in a dream.The golden sunlight outside the window illuminates the dream world that has become reality.

"Oh, have you graduated yet?"

"Well, I just graduated, and I was looking for a job while preparing for my defense."

Dad nodded, handed him a large royal blue bag that he had been carrying just now, and said, "Open it and have a look."

"What?" Nakajima Yuxiang unzipped the zipper, suddenly had a surprise discovery, and cheered childishly.A coffee-colored miniature dachshund purrs sweetly, with an enviable sense of liberation.Yuxiang Nakajima is an unruly dog ​​lover who likes any dog ​​he sees on the road, but because his mother is allergic to animal hair, the family has never kept one.

He happily took the puppy out and kissed it. There was a dark green card in the bag. He picked it up and saw that there were notes written by his father on it: Yuxiang, happy birthday to you!Please forgive Dad.

"I promised Aihui that I would give you a puppy on your 25th birthday. This is also her present." Dad looked at the floor and said a little awkwardly.

"Thank you." Nakajima Yuxiang suddenly choked up, and repeatedly rubbed the card with his fingers with tears in his eyes, "I should say I'm sorry. I didn't go back on New Year's Day in the first year because I was angry, and I didn't dare to go home after that. Dad, I'm really scared..."

"Yuxiang, you and I are both adults, we should take care of what we do." Dad put his arms around his shoulders, "When I was a child, I received your grandfather's Bushido education and Chinese Confucian culture. , so I also use my childhood standards to measure you. Once you don’t listen to me, I feel extremely cold in my heart. Before I was [-] years old, when I talked to your grandfather, I had to say "Father", in front of others When you mention your grandfather, you have to say 'Father', I am not a father who can educate children, but which father does not want his children to be good, when you reach the same age as me, you will understand my current heart."

"Dad, I know everything." Nakajima Yuxiang turned his head to look at his father's face. He was not as tall as he remembered, and the wrinkles on his face looked a little old.The traditional etiquette that father guides sons is no match for today's yearning for freedom, the omniscient and world-minded father, who is too tight with Gang Chang's father's prestige, but what is wrong with this.

Yuxiang Nakajima did what he should have done in his sophomore year of high school, drinking some wine with his father.He insisted on going to the convenience store to buy his father's favorite Japanese sake, shochikumei. As soon as he went out, Nakajima Yuxiang ran with open arms, like a triumphant general, wishing to shake hands and hug everyone one by one.Passing by a red telephone booth, Nakajima Yuxiang grabbed the coin and threw it in, and told his friend Keito Okamoto the news that his father came to Paris to celebrate his birthday.Kei was very calm when he heard it, and thought it was no big deal. Okamoto’s father held a party for Kei in the villa every week. Yuxiang Nakajima attended several times. That lovely uncle always praised his son after others. It seems that the whole world is prostrate at the feet of his favorite son.But now Nakajima Yuxiang will no longer be jealous, what happened in the past?What matters is the future, the future.
