especially

- Come back early after work is over.

The screen of the phone lit up, and such a message stayed on the screen for a few seconds.

"お痛れ様でした." (It's hard work)

"ええ, お痛れ." (hard work)

The sound of farewell was shut outside the door. Ji Mingchen squinted his eyes and tore off the false eyelashes on his eyelids, and accidentally got the glitter in. The pain caused him to subconsciously close his eyes on that side.

He didn't care, and reached for the phone that had just turned off the screen.

Seeing the message from Ge Chuyun, he couldn't stop laughing.

As a result, the corners of his mouth were grinning too far, and his lipstick rubbed against his front teeth.

The temperature cooled down a bit at night, Ah Zhou came to pick him up with a cotton padded jacket, and was taken aback by his bared front teeth as soon as they met, "Are you eating a child?"

Ji Mingchen was dumbfounded and didn't speak.

"Tomorrow, we can call it a day after filming at the Skytree Tower. The visa expires in a few days. Is there any place you want to go? I'll show you around."

Ji Mingchen shook his head, "It's nothing, go home, it's almost the end of the term, it's not good to miss too much class."

"Speak as if you listened carefully in class." Ah Zhou laughed at him, "Think about it, the next time you come here may not be when it will be. There is less work at the end of the year, so you don't need to control your body too much. I can make an exception and take you Go eat a few big meals, such as barbecue, ramen, curry pork cutlet rice, beef bowl, mother-of-pearl bowl, tempura fried shrimp..."

"Is it Uncle Zhou who wants to eat?" Ji Mingchen looked at his brighter eyes and smiled.

"Haha!" Ah Zhou patted his small beer belly, "Don't say it's really a little bit, I know there is a restaurant that tastes really good, but the location is a bit remote, and Lao Ge and I used to take a car every time we came here on business. After a meal, the uncle in the store has been working for decades. His curry is made by himself with spices. Really, believe me, eating his curry will definitely make other families Curry overshadowed!"

"Curry..." Ji Mingchen thought for a while, "How far is it?"

"Let's think about it, the two of us take the Shinkansen to go there, about... three or four hours? The place is near Ge Izuyun's hometown. After eating, you can go to a hot spring. Although the hot springs there are not very famous, But the last time I went to experience it was pretty good, maybe it was because there were no people there, and then I flew back the next day." Ah Zhou had already started licking his lips, sketching in the palm of his hand and calculating the arrangements for the day after tomorrow.

Ji Mingchen was taken aback, "That place is... Kansai, right?"

"Well, yes, are you coming?"

He hesitated, rubbed the ground with the toe of his shoe, and said, "...Go."

He also couldn't tell what magical power the word Kansai had. In contrast, Ge Chuyun, who invited him back, seemed a little less charming.

In my impression, every August, Ge Chuyun would go to his hometown in Kansai alone to worship his grandmother.

During the week after returning, the cigarettes will be particularly intense.

Gradually, for him, the word Kansai became the hideous Ukiyo-e tattoo on his back, the pleats on his leather shoes when he squatted beside the trash can and smoked, and the lingering The looming jaw in the smoke turned into 15-year-old Ge Chuyun, a Ge Chuyun that no one had ever seen.

But when he really followed Ah Zhou there, only Ah Zhou's screams remained in his ears.

After getting off the Shinkansen, I reversed two trams and one bus, crossed the bridge and arrived at the entrance of the village. After A Zhou got off the bus, he didn't close his mouth. The scene in front of him seemed to be too different from what he remembered.

"Oh my God, is this a sandstorm? How did it happen?" He turned his head and said to Ji Mingchen in disbelief, "The environment here used to be good. When summer comes, it looks like a small forest."

Now there is a little bit of green, the autumn leaves are all yellow, and the sky is gloomy, full of yellow sand. A Zhou followed the navigation to find the small restaurant before, and there was also a rest sign on it.

Immediately, he was at the entrance of the restaurant, performing a scene where a middle-aged man collapsed because he couldn't eat curry rice.

But luckily the boss was still there. He heard the voice and opened the door from the inside, and a head with a cigarette stuck out. He seemed to recognize Ah Zhou. When they looked at each other, his eyes lit up, and the cigarette in his mouth was gone. He bit it and fell to the ground, but he didn't care, his face was wrinkled with a smile, and he greeted him with a strong Kansai accent, inviting them in.

There was a charcoal pot burning in the room, and the boss only wore a waistcoat, showing two big flower arms carelessly. The color of the tattoo on it was well preserved, but the shape may become out of shape due to the relaxation of muscles with age. It looks a bit nondescript.

He lit another cigarette and chatted with A Zhou about the old days. Ji Mingchen's Japanese level was limited, and he couldn't understand Kansai dialect even if he mixed it. Later, when I turned my head to talk to the boss, I said hello to the boss, because it felt like Ah Zhou was introducing him to the boss.

After talking for a while, the boss went to the back kitchen excitedly, and Ah Zhou pulled Ji Mingchen to the bar to sit down and took off his coat.

"The only steel factory in the village declared bankruptcy at the beginning of this year." Ah Zhou explained to him: "Then a large number of people lost their jobs and had to go to the city to work. There are no people left, the boss is getting old, and the business can no longer continue, so he is going to close the shop."

"However, he heard that we came here specially to eat curry, and he was very happy. Now he is going to the back kitchen to prepare it for us, but it may have to wait a little longer."

Ji Mingchen nodded in response to him. In fact, he was not very interested in curry, but rather in the photos on the wall.

After putting away his clothes, he stood with his hands behind his back and looked up and down at the photos on the wall.

Those photos seemed to be found on Polaroid. The resolution was not high and the light was dim. Most of them were taken in the store. He could see the fancy decorations. He felt a little dazzled after a while, but Mr. Zhou A photo was taken from above and held up in front of him.

"Wow, look what I found, I miss it!"

It was a group photo of several people. A Zhou was standing at the front holding the camera, followed by a young man with long hair, probably an Omega. Compared with Ji Qiang in Scissorhands, it formed a sharp contrast.

The faces of Ge Chuyun and the boss were squeezed behind the two of them, only a little bit could be exposed, and their bodies were tightly blocked by Ah Zhou's big head.

"This is my wife, isn't it good-looking? We were not married at the time." Ah Zhou pointed to the man with long hair and smirked happily. "He was the first model I was in charge of. He looks really good-looking. Thinking that she will become my wife in the end!"

Ji Mingchen also laughed along with him, his eyes couldn't help but fell on Ge Chuyun's face, and he couldn't hold back his brows anymore.

This will be my wife from now on.

Didn't expect?
