Bai Ye got lost again.

The responsibility this time is not his own.

Knowing the existence of Tokyo Bookstore Street from friends, as a young man who likes to read, of course he will be interested, especially after hearing that books from the Warring States Period can be found there, Bai Ye from another time and space of the Warring States Period will inevitably become more curious.

So Bai Ye, who seldom went out alone during the holidays, got on the train bound for Tokyo according to the route written by her sister.

"Sit down after getting on the bus, you don't have to worry about it, just get off at the terminal." These are the original words of Ito Sayuki.

According to her sister's instructions, Bai Ye took the designated vehicle and did not get out of the vehicle until the warning sounded at the terminal.After walking around, I didn't see the shadow of Bookstore Street. I asked the owner of the small roadside shop, and found out that this is Youth Terrace, which is far away from Chiyoda Ward where Bookstore Street is located!

A lost boy who is not used to modern electronic communication, his mobile phone was once again forgotten at home. In the end, he could only wander around the strange streets of Tokyo alone, following the guidance of passers-by, going further and further astray.

There is a middle school in front of you. Compared with Lihai's simplicity and solemnity, this school feels simple and fresh.

"Secondary Division of Youth Academy..." Bai Ye stood by the gate, reading the name of the school, and muttered, "It's really a simple school."

Seeing that the school gate was open, as if there was no guard watching, the young man who couldn't find his way, with a little curiosity about the outside school, decisively slipped into the campus.

The feeling of this school is very different from that of Lihai, the only thing in common is...

It occupies a fairly large area.

Bai Ye wandered around for a long time, seeing the sun move to the center, he wanted to go out and continue to look for the bookstore street, but he found helplessly that he couldn't find the gate when he came in after looking around.

Look left and right, there is no one.

In this world where there may be electronic monitors everywhere, it is impossible for him to fly with a paper crane, but... over the wall, there is no problem, even if he is discovered, he is not a student here, so there is no pressure.

Bai Ye stood in front of the wall, tiptoed her feet, jumped up suddenly, and reached the top of the wall with her hands.

"What are you doing here?" A cold and majestic voice suddenly sounded not far away.

Startled, Bai Ye loosened his hands unconsciously, and almost fell to the ground—thanks to his subconscious body reaction, he finally fell back to the ground steadily.

Turning around, I saw a man in glasses with a paralyzed face exuding cold air, standing under the cherry tree.

careless...

A little embarrassed, Bai Ye quickly regained his composure, shook the fan in his hand, and walked over: "Hello, teacher!" Pretending to be cute, "I'm lost..."

"Teacher" didn't speak, and the breath around him became even colder.

Bai Ye, who was not frightened at all, said persistently, "Teacher, can you tell me how to get out?"

"Teacher" suddenly said: "Tezuka Kunimitsu."

"Huh?" Bai Ye was very confused and hesitated for a while, "Uh, teacher's name is... Tezuka Kunimitsu?"

Tezuka Kunimitsu replied blankly, "I'm not a teacher."

"..." Bai Ye felt that this person was a bit strange, "Well, I'm lost, can Tezuka-san take me out?"

"You are not a student of Qingxue."

Bai Ye nodded: "I passed by here, I was a little curious, so I went in to have a look."

Tezuka Kunimitsu turned around silently and walked forward.

Bai Ye was slightly startled, and then smiled lightly, this seemingly indifferent person has a pretty good heart.

Soon, Bai Ye saw the school gate and suddenly stopped.

The man in glasses who had been leading the way silently turned his head and looked over.

Bai Ye asked suspiciously: "Tezuka Kunimitsu...why do I feel like I've heard your name somewhere?"

thinking.

"We met in Arakawa Village when we were young." When Bai Ye remembered seeing Tezuka Kunimitsu's name in a tennis journal a few days ago, the other party suddenly said this.

Bai Ye was really surprised: "Saitama Arakawa?" With big round eyes, he looked up and down the "youth" in front of him, "Are you Xiaoguang?"

Hearing such... kind address, Tezuka Kunimitsu raised his hand and pushed his glasses, then nodded slightly.

Bai Ye opened her mouth slightly: "Xiaoguang, you grow up so fast!" In my impression, I was a calm and sensible little guy who didn't like to laugh, and had a good heart, and suddenly grew into... a young man who looked like a teacher.

Bai Ye struggled for a while, and compared the heights of the two who were far apart: "Are you only 14 years old this year?"

After growing rapidly since the end of the first grade, Tezuka Kunimitsu has become quite accustomed to being misunderstood about his age in the past six months, and continues to remain silent.

"Hey, you said your name is Tezuka Kunimitsu," said the boy who had finished struggling, "how could I remember your surname Tetsuya?"

In fact, he always thought that the name of the first friend he met after rebirth was Xiaoshiguang.When he returned to China, he still thought of his childhood friends. When he visited his grandfather in the countryside of Saitama, he saw that the old house next door had been demolished, and he felt a little regretful!

The world is too big and the population is too large. After the friends who have no contact information are separated, it is basically difficult to have the opportunity to meet again.

I never thought that sometimes, the world can be so small!

"My name has always been Tezuka Kunimitsu."

A good friend in childhood forgets himself and even remembers his name wrong, and most people will definitely be irritable.Tezuka Kunimitsu just calmly corrected the opponent's mistake.

Bai Ye quickly let go of his entangled mood, and said with a smile: "It's great, Xiaoguang, to meet you again."

He was really happy, after all, in the countryside of Saitama, for nearly two years, his children had been accompanying him, who was still ignorant of the world at that time, and spent a very interesting time by the Arakawa.

Tezuka Kunimitsu pushed his glasses again.

Bai Ye said in a good mood: "Hey, Xiaoguang, are you free today? I want to go to Bookstore Street, but I can't find the way now." Tezuka Kunimitsu knew his road-crazy attributes very well.

Tezuka nodded slightly: "I'll call home first, and then accompany you to Jimbocho."

After talking on the phone with his family, Tezuka Kunimitsu took the road-crazy boy on the tram that went directly to Bookstore Street.

In the car, Tezuka took the initiative to ask: "Are you returning to China to settle now?"

"Yeah, I went back to Kanagawa, and my parents let me finish high school in China," Bai Ye completely opened up the topic to his old friend, "Now I am studying at Rikkai University. By the way, I joined the tennis club." , I remember that you seemed to start learning tennis that year, do you still play now...blablabla..."

Tezuka has been quietly listening to the talkative boy's chatter, nodding or responding from time to time.

——Like, when they were young, on the edge of Arakawa.

……

The delicate and beautiful "little girl", about five or six years old, sat on the wall of her house, stretching out her hands to fold the blooming pear blossoms, with half of her body suspended in the air, looking extremely dangerous.

"What are you doing?" The brown-haired boy, who was not nearsighted at that time, couldn't hide his curiosity on his serious face.

The little girl who was startled by his sudden noise fell to the opposite wall with a plop.

The young Tezuka was very frightened and shouted to the other side of the wall: "Are you injured?"

He didn't get a response for a long time, he was thinking about leaving home, when he knocked on the door next door, the "little girl" climbed to the top of the wall again, raised her chin, and squinted at him: "Hey, brat, you are the owner of this house? How come I haven't seen you before?"

Although not very talkative, Tezuka, who felt guilty about the "little girl" who was scared by him, replied honestly: "This is my grandfather's house. I just arrived here yesterday."

The retired old man Tezuka decided to go back to his hometown in the countryside to recuperate for a while, so he brought his grandson who had been taught by him back to the bank of Arakawa.

Bai Ye, who was forced to be taught by his grandfather because of the incident of "chasing the robbers", stayed in this village, and only faced with the extremely strict and old-fashioned grandfather every day. peer.

Bai Ye, who hadn't been able to talk to people normally for many days and was suffocated, took the initiative to introduce himself to the kid: "I'm Ito Bai Ye, what's your name?"

At this moment, a young woman's voice came from Tezuka's house: "Xiaoguang..."

"So your name is Xiaoguang." Bai Ye suddenly realized, seeing that the adult was coming soon, he waved to the little boy who had no time to say a word, "Goodbye, Xiaoguang."

Five-year-old Shiraya and six-year-old Tezuka became friends.

The village by the Arakawa River is too small, most of them are old people, the younger generation are struggling outside, and the two children who have no peers to socialize with at all, live close to each other, and naturally spend more and more time together.

Tezuka's family education is good, and he has a stable personality, so the grandfather who has always controlled Bai Ye very strictly, let Bai Ye play with the children from the next door very reassuringly.

Although Bai Ye is not a real child, but the place where he lives is completely different from here. In this village of Arakawa, which is very free except for his grandfather, the character that has been restrained for several years has been completely released... If you have nothing to do, just go and harass the "little boy" Light".

Fortunately, Tezuka Kunimitsu's character is more stable and calm than children of the same age, and Bai Ye is quite comfortable getting along with him.

From time to time, I go fishing in Arakawa together; in Tezuka’s room, I listen to the music that he finds very novel; the crops are ripe, and the children who are still in the stage of curiosity about human food, take the children and secretly break a piece of corn. Grandfather, punished to kneel and reflect...

Bai Ye is not a real child, but as a monster, he never knows the games of human children, which are so novel and interesting.

So every day of the two children is quite "full" and happy.

Bai Ye's grandfather came to apologize because his good boy from the neighbor's family was "wronged" by his grandson. Fortunately, Tezuka's family didn't care and didn't restrict the relationship between the two children. Except for corn, neither child behaved out of line.

Tezuka Kunimitsu lived in Saitama for a year, and when the pear blossoms bloomed next year, he returned to Tokyo to attend elementary school.Since then, every school holiday, he would visit his grandfather with his parents, and naturally he did not forget his only friend.

When Bai Ye was six and a half years old and Tezuka had just passed his seventh birthday, the Ito couple took Bai Ye back to Kanagawa, and not long after that, due to job transfers, the couple took their youngest son abroad together.

Tezuka Kunimitsu, who came to Saitama with his parents to celebrate the New Year, never saw his beautiful friend who was a bit talkative, very road-crazy, occasionally jumping off, and most of the time quiet.

In the third year, Mr. Tezuka also left the side of Arakawa. The old house in disrepair was crushed in a blizzard a few years later.
