Substitutes are not a problem

Chapter9

The one-month appointment is coming soon.

Chi Songyuan booked a train ticket early so that he could return to the small town on the German-Swiss border again at twelve o'clock noon, and return to the agreed shore of Lake Constance.

Although there was a little episode before departure.

"Hey...why can't I go together? I want to go to Germany too. I've been bored here for a month."

"Because no one would take their children on a date, Shuzhi-kun."

Before leaving, she rejected Shuji Tsushima's request to go together.She dared not take the family members of high-ranking officials out of the country at will.Of course, not wanting the date to be ruined by a bear child is also an important reason.

Speaking of which, she and this child are really destined to each other, and their birthdays are only one day apart.

Today, June eighteenth, was her birthday; tomorrow, June nineteenth, it was his fourth birthday.

Although the kid is not interested in things like birthdays.

[Ah, ah, birthday, that is really the most hated day of the year for me. 】

It wasn't so much that he wasn't interested in birthdays as that the kid didn't seem interested in life itself.

When it comes to birthday, the whole person mutters, ah, I have lived in pain for another year, and so on.

Generally speaking, when a four-year-old child utters such words, he may only feel that the child is ignorant and soft-spoken, or imitating the words and deeds of adults to show that he is cool.

But maybe, the ignorant and arrogant are actually those adults who are self-righteous, who despise a child's world with their so-called mature thinking that is confined.The so-called one flower, one world, let alone a living person, even if he is still very young.

There was a reason for the child to sigh like this.And if he didn't want to talk too much, she wouldn't forcefully break into the world that only belonged to him to get to the bottom of it, and she wouldn't arrogantly regard herself as a redeemer and presumptuously want to be his light.But since he said that, then she felt that all she could reply was——

【At least when you said this, I was still listening. The one who said this right now is definitely not a meaningless existence... So, I still want to wish you a happy birthday, Shuzhi-kun. 】

Because she felt that although the child was like a coward who would get hurt when he touched cotton[1], he wanted to avoid the violent joy to prevent himself from being attacked by grief, but he was like a drowning person struggling and hesitantly A hand sticks out of the water, trying to tell whoever can see it... please help me.

Like a crying child, but the tears have already merged with the drowning water, even he himself can't feel it.

……

If the violent joy can be avoided, there will be no great sorrow [2], and this sentence seems to be suitable for her.

That's what Chisongyuan, who was sitting by Lake Constance, felt at the moment.

Why on earth did you make an agreement with that man named Toyotaro Ota after one month?

Is it because you like him too much?There must be likes, and they are likes on impulse.

But isn't the initial generation of liking this kind of love the collision of hormones on both sides in an instant?

But probably there is still a longing, longing for a love that seems to exist in the story.

Young men and women meet unexpectedly in a foreign country, do not explore each other's identity background, travel together with a pure heart, part temporarily due to an accident, and finally hug each other again at the agreed place, it sounds so romantic, a kind of Full of the unspeakable romance of fate.

Therefore, she actually wondered whether she should fulfill this agreement today.If the other party also comes, it is naturally a violent joy. Seeing the person I like again also fulfills the romantic vision in my heart;

But if the other party doesn't come, then everything seems to be laughing at her self-indulgence, living in the world she imagined and constructed for herself, and the only person who will bear this great sadness will be herself.

But in the end, she still chose to come, the impulse in her heart overwhelmed everything else.

Moreover, I thought that if the other party kept the agreement.And if I miss the appointment because of timidity, wouldn't the person who is suffering from great sadness become the other party?

Sure enough, I still like him.

The appointed time, the appointed place, at noon, Lake Constance was as blue as a flawless gem under the sun, and the dancing sunlight shone like a gem, just like the expectation held in her blue eyes .

The sun dimmed little by little, and the clouds that turned into bright red echoed the water waves, and then continued to dim, and the calm lake surface seemed to be smudged into a deep purple.

In Germany in June, it gets dark very late, and when the sky is full of stars, it is almost ten o'clock at night.

The last cafe by the lake that was still open was about to close down. After closing the door, the boss couldn't help but walked up curiously: "Miss, are you waiting for someone?"

He saw the blond girl sitting by the lake from noon to nightfall, with a very calm expression, just calmly looking at the endless blue waves.

Chi Songyuan turned his head, and at the same time finally got up from the ground, smiled lightly: "It's nothing, just waiting for an inappropriate person."

……

"It turned out that the two of us celebrated our birthday together, so ah... ah, what an adult male says is the most unbelievable thing."

In a seafood restaurant on the shores of Lake Zurich, Shuji Tsushima put a large piece of crab meat into his mouth while chattering endlessly.

Seeing the little bastard in front of him peeling off another crab skillfully, Chisong Yuan silently cried tears for his wallet...

Does Little Tu Zaizhi know how expensive it is to eat seafood in a landlocked country like Switzerland?And it's still in a golden cage like Zurich!

"It's the same with my father. He obviously promised when my mother passed away last year. This year, I will definitely spend my fourth birthday with me, but I still missed the promise. Sure enough, I am the real fool who still has expectations for him." .”

Shuji Tsushima continued to speak in his sloppy little voice.

When the child in front of him mentioned his mother's death, Gen Chisong paused for a moment with the knife that was cutting the fish fillet.

But he didn't continue to ask, but replied calmly: "No wonder I heard from the director of the research institute that when I saw Mr. Tsushima today, I found that Mr. Tsushima's hairline suddenly receded a lot. What the hell are you doing?"

There was the usual smile that no one could bear to criticize, but Shuji Tsushima's eyes seemed to be a little more silent: "Sure enough, I am a bad boy, even my father who is considerate of me No, ah, ah, wayward children are annoying..."

"No, Xiuzhi-kun is a good boy."

Akamatsu Gen spoke unhurriedly, interrupting Shuji Tsushima's words.

Shuji Tsushima also raised his head, and rarely looked at the person sitting opposite him in a daze.

"Shuji-kun is a good boy, a good boy like a god.【3】"

The little finger holding the crab's leg trembled slightly.Then, he continued to skillfully peel the crab shell, and the corner of his mouth grinned even wider: "It's decided, I'm going to have another Alaskan crab in a while!"

Yuan Chisong, who feels that he can't last until the end of the month, when the salary of the research institute is paid:

"Give me enough time, you."
