Those years when I was a purchasing agent in Yokohama

It wasn't until the evening that the two arrived at the hot spring hotel they had booked on the phone.

This area is a famous tourist attraction, and almost the entire street is full of hot spring hotels and specialty shops for tourists. However, it is not the tourist season, and there are relatively few tourists here.

Before coming here, Chu Shu searched for some travel guides on the Internet in advance. The hot spring hotel he booked is considered to be the most cost-effective one in this area. The owner of this hot spring hotel is a woman in her 40s wearing an azure kimono. After Shu completed the check-in procedures, the proprietress enthusiastically led the two of them to the room that had been prepared in advance.

The room is a classic Japanese tatami structure, the space is not too big, but it is more than enough for two people, every part of the room is cleaned spotlessly, and there is a faint scent of incense in the air, such a living environment, even if it is Chu Shu, who is a little cleanliness, can't find anything wrong with him.

Each room in this hot spring hotel has its own small hot spring pool, which is about a little larger than a bathtub. Large open-air hot spring pools like that are shared, divided into male and female baths, and there are only two.

Although the area of ​​the open-air hot spring pool is larger, it is more atmospheric when soaked.But Chu Shu couldn't bear to be honest with a group of guys he didn't know.So he decided to enjoy himself in a small pool in his room.

The lady proprietress of this hotel has been in business for so many years, so she can see through this guest's mind at a glance. She has seen many customers like Chu Shu who don't like to soak in a pool with a bunch of people over the years. .

So the proprietress explained to Chu Shu that since it is not the peak tourist season recently, the passenger flow of the hotel is relatively small.

So usually at nine o'clock in the evening, there is basically no one in the open-air big soup pool outside.Therefore, customers like Chu Shu who are obsessed with cleanliness can choose to go there after nine o'clock.

The proprietress of the hotel enthusiastically introduced some local famous products and tourist attractions to him, and then retreated to prepare today's dinner for the two of them after talking about it.

After taking an hour's flight, Chu Shu took a sightseeing bus for two or three hours. He ate two or three pieces of bread on the way, and he was already hungry. I would rather have a nice warm dinner.

A warm body suddenly came up from behind, and Dazai grabbed Chu Shu's body with his hands and feet, like a sleepy koala.

"open."

Chu Shu bumped his abdomen with his elbow, motioning him to let go of himself, "I have to take out our luggage and tidy it up, it's hard for me to carry it like this."

The luggage of the two of them was stored by Chu Shu in his supernatural space, and he couldn't take it out unless Dazai let him go.

"Sleepy……"

Dazai yawned, his soft voice mingled with a strong sense of sleepiness, his head was resting on Chu Shu's shoulder, and his hands were tightly wrapped around Chu Shu's waist.

"If you are sleepy, lie down and sleep for a while, the bed is made for you."

Chu Shu pointed to the quilts laid out in advance by the hotel staff on the floor. There were two quilts, one for each person.

"hungry……"

Dazai leaned on Chu Shu and said weakly.

"Just now the proprietress of this hotel said that dinner will start at six o'clock, and there is still half an hour, so bear with it."

"I can't take it anymore, I'm starving to death..."

"Then you should eat some bread to cushion your stomach first..."

Chu Shu dug out the bag of crushed toast from his pocket, and handed a piece to the black-haired young man who was lying on his shoulder.

Dazai opened his mouth, groaned and accepted the feeding from Chu Shu, chewed it casually a few times and then dryly gave a comment, "It's unpalatable."

Chu Shu raised his hand and stroked his hairy head a few times, "So I'll let you bear with it, and you'll be able to eat delicious food in half an hour."

"Are there any crabs?"

Dazai squinted his eyes and spoke angrily.

"I don't know, but I guess not. After all, this side is not near the sea."

The food in this kind of tourist attraction is usually a fusion of local famous products. There is only one volcano here without the sea, and aquatic products like crabs will not appear in tonight's dinner menu in eight or nine out of ten.

"Huh? But I want to eat crabs—"

When he heard that there were no crabs for dinner, Dazai suddenly buried his head and rubbed Chu Shu's shoulder several times.Then he began humming a song without a tune.

"Crabs are full of treasures - the crab meat is fat and the crab roe is wonderful - one crab has eight legs - it can be steamed or fried—"

Chu Shu: "..."

I always feel like I've heard this song somewhere...

"By the way, are you singing out of tune..."

Why does it seem to be different from what I sang before...

"Ok?"

Dazai tilted his head, "This is the "Song of the Crab" I improvised just now, and it was the first time I sang it just now. Have you heard other versions?"

Chu Shu: "..."

I have to say that Dazai's "Song of the Crab" is really magical. After listening to it, Chu Shu had the phrase "A crab with eight legs - it can be steamed or fried -" for several days. He even searched for this so-called "Song of the Crab" on the Internet, but he couldn't find it no matter how hard he searched, it turned out that this guy himself created it.

"Could it be that I sang it to you ten years ago?"

Dazai blinked with interest, "Is there any difference between my version and his version?"

"The lyrics are the same, just in a different tune."

The lyrics are not bad word for word, but the tune is completely out of tune.

"How did he sing it?"

Dazai let go of Chu Shu's waist, walked in front of him, looked at him eagerly, with "I'm very interested" written all over his face.

"I want to know how I sang this song ten years ago, can you sing it to me?"

Chu Shu looked at the black-haired young man with an expectant expression on the opposite side, a little speechless, why do you need others to sing to you the song you sang yourself...

However, because the lyrics and tune of the "Song of the Crab" were so magical, Chu Shu remembered it after hearing Dazai sing it once.

So under Dazai's expectant gaze, Chu Shu cleared his throat a little uncomfortably, and sang the song "Song of the Crab" that the Dazai boy sang to him ten years ago to the 26-year-old Mr. Dazai .

It didn't even take half a minute to finish singing the four short lines of lyrics.Half a minute later, Mr. Dazai, who had been yelling about going to sleep and eating just now, was rarely quiet. He stared at Chu Shu on the opposite side thoughtfully for a few seconds, and then spoke slowly in a somewhat subtle tone. Said: "So you are a music idiot..."

Chu Shu: "No, this is the original song that you sang to me ten years ago..."

He is determined not to recite this blame. He was pulled by the school chorus to be the lead singer when he was in high school. How could he be tone deaf? It is obvious that you sing too magically. Whether it is ten years ago or ten years later, the two Both versions are the same magic.

After hearing Chu Shu's words, Dazai once again lowered his head thoughtfully, "Is my singing so bad ten years ago?"

Chu Shu: "You are not much better now..."

……

Not long after, the proprietress came to inform the two of them that they could go to dinner. The dinner was set in the living room of the hot spring hotel. All the tourists staying in this hotel had their meals here. When Chu Shu and Dazai passed by, many people had already sat down Waiting for the meal.

The classic Japanese-style meal sharing, one person, one small coffee table in front of each person, and the hotel staff will put their dinner on this coffee table later.

Dazai next to him sat down and started humming his own "Song of the Crab", but the tune was the version ten years ago.

"I thought about it, although I like both versions. But I think the version ten years ago sounds better than my current version."

Dazai explained to him solemnly.

"Oh, yes."

Chu Shu responded dryly.

To him, both versions were equally ugly.

"Ah? Are you... Mr. Chu Shu?"

At this moment, a hesitant voice suddenly came from the side. Chu Shu turned his head reflexively when he heard his name.

Then I saw a woman in a light blue dress sitting on my left, looking at him with some doubts, with a trace of uncertainty in her eyes.

"Well, may I ask that you are Mr. Chu Shu, right..."

Oops!Does this person know him ten years later?

Chu Shu's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He didn't expect that he would meet someone who knew him when he went to a hot spring in any place. What a magical probability this is. If he used this luck to buy drinks, how many times would he win another bottle? .

But obviously now is not the time to worry about "another bottle", the most urgent thing is how to deal with this woman who may know herself ten years later.

Saying that he is his younger brother ten years later, I don't know if the other party will believe it, but he can't be called his son.

Just as Chu Shu was struggling, a woman in an orange shirt suddenly appeared next to the woman in the light blue dress. Compared with the vacillation of the previous person, this woman was much more straightforward, directly from Standing up from his seat, he walked to Chu Shu with a happy face.

"Ah! It's really Mr. Chu Shu! When did you return to Japan? Why didn't you inform us?"

Chu Shu looked at the woman in front of him who was greeting him excitedly, and fell silent.

Originally, I thought it would be unlucky enough to meet someone who I knew after ten years here, but I didn't expect that there were more than one person who knew him.

"But having said that, why do I feel that Mr. Chu Shu, you seem to have become a lot younger, we haven't seen each other for a year, why do you look like you are ten years younger..."

After saying hello, the woman in the orange-yellow shirt finally realized something was wrong. She looked the black-haired young man across from him from start to finish, and her gaze gradually became suspicious.

Chu Shu: "..."

Ma'am, you have a good eye for people.

However, after the woman in the orange shirt greeted him, Chu Shu also felt that the two women looked familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.

And at this moment, a word from the woman in the light blue dress who greeted him first gave the answer directly.

She tugged at the corner of her companion's clothes, lowered her voice and said with a blushing face, "Okay, Yuanzi, hurry back to your seat, everyone is watching you..."

Since the dinner is about to start, the passengers staying in this hotel are all sitting in their seats at the moment, quietly waiting for the dinner. At this time, they will leave their seats and run to the person opposite Naturally, it became an outlier.

After noticing everyone's scrutiny, the woman in the light blue dress quickly reminded her friend. After realizing this, the woman in the orange shirt blushed for a while, and then obediently returned to her room. position.

The two women in their twenties corrected their sitting posture after this, and sat motionless in their seats, not looking at Chu Shu who was aside for the time being.

But Chu Shu thought that he had probably guessed the identities of these two people.
