Chapter40

Since Heisei 12, the second Monday of January every year is Japan's Coming-of-age Day.

On this day, young people who have reached the age of 20 in various cities, towns and villages in Japan will be invited to attend the "coming-of-age ceremony" held by the local government in the public hall or resident hall to celebrate their formal adulthood.

Light and brightness are naturally also invited.

Perhaps the coming-of-age ceremony itself implied the meaning of "stepping out of the house and stepping into the society", so when the two mothers expressed at the same time, they hoped that they would go home the night before the coming-of-age ceremony, and then go to the venue from home on the day of the coming-of-age ceremony When meeting the idea, Liang Heguang agreed without thinking too much.

Therefore, the subway is still used as a means of transportation.

The night before the coming-of-age ceremony, Liang and Guang had dinner together in the rented apartment, walked into the subway station together, and took the subway back home.

As soon as Guang entered the house, the phone rang.

But I don’t know why, I have heard the exclusive ringtone so many times, and when I hear it again at home, especially when I hear it in front of my parents, my face suddenly turns red, and I don’t answer the phone, just hold it tightly in my hand. , and then took off his shoes, said hello to his parents, and ran up the stairs in one go. It was not until he entered the room and closed the door that Guang answered the phone breathlessly: "Liang, I'm home!"

Hearing that Guang's breath was uneven, Liang asked hesitantly, "Did I call early?"

Guang busy shook his head: "No, the time is just right!"

In fact, there is nothing to say.

But it's like trying to make up for the regret of saying goodbye at the subway station just now, always wanting to hear each other's voice again, always wanting to say something again - in a private space that only each other can hear.

Unlike girls who "call for hours at will are commonplace", if two boys want to talk on the phone for a long time about things other than work, even if they are lovers, they will always Feel embarrassed, always need to find some suitable names.

For example: Remember to call me when you get home.

But even across the phone, some words are probably impossible to say no matter what.

So, I had to use some ambiguous words instead.

such as--

"See you tomorrow."

"Ah, see you tomorrow."

A sentence that can't be more common, but it feels too important.

As if this is also some kind of ritual.

I want to tell each other in a way that only each other can understand, I can't wait to meet you.

Although less than an hour has passed since we parted.

the next day.Adult ceremony venue.

Seeing a figure slowly approaching from a distance, a pure black feather hakama suit is solemn and majestic, and the waist-length hair is carefully tied behind the head, all the attention is attracted by this figure, even the sound of heartbeat He was disturbed at the same time, and Guang couldn't wait any longer, so he stepped forward to meet him.

At this time, there is still more than an hour before the official start of the coming-of-age ceremony, and there is still half an hour before the time agreed upon by each other.

Liang Yuan thought he had arrived early, but, however...

When he saw the attire of his lover who was facing him today, there was an undisguised surprise in Liang's eyes.

It's so similar.

The same is a pure black patterned hakama suit.

The same pure white spherical feather button.

Before that, they had never specifically mentioned what they would wear at the coming-of-age ceremony.

It's like a purely coincidental "accident", and it's like a deliberate "inevitability".

"My mother insisted on dragging me to order this hakama suit, saying that the dress for the coming-of-age ceremony must be more solemn..." Halfway through the conversation, when he caught Liang's slightly stunned expression, Guang suddenly stopped, "Could it be..."

When guessing, both Liang and Guang couldn't believe it.

But thinking of the "confession" written by Guang once, and thinking that it was his mother who asked them to go home first, everything seems to be explainable...

While looking at each other and smiling, Liang stroked Guang's back and said softly: "Let's go in."

The whole coming-of-age ceremony was still boring without any suspense.

It is nothing more than a speech by the mayor first, encouraging all young people to study and work hard, and then the youth representative speaks, and finally all the participants in the venue swear loudly and officially step into the ranks of adults.

It was so boring.

But in such an atmosphere, hundreds or even thousands of people in the arena are swearing in unison by their ears, wearing Monsuke hakama clothes embroidered with the Shinto family's "Enyan family crest", standing beside them. Looking at the lover he wants to be with for the rest of his life, Guang seems to really feel that there are two invisible burdens falling on his shoulders, the left shoulder carries "responsibility" and the right shoulder carries "duty". .

After taking the oath, the grand coming-of-age ceremony is over.

In the time that followed, some of the crowd continued to take pictures together, and some made an appointment to attend junior high or high school reunions together.

Hikari and Ryo had no other arrangements except to invite Hegu and Yijiao to celebrate at the izakaya at night, so they walked side by side to the outside of the venue. When they were about to leave the venue, they suddenly heard a voice calling Hikari from behind.

Hikaru turned around and locked onto the source of the sound without much trouble.

How long has it been since I saw you?Guang looked at Mingming who was walking towards him, thinking secretly in his heart.

Today's Fujisaki Akira, like other girls, has been carefully dressed for the coming-of-age ceremony - she is wearing a pale pink Eha bronzing Furisode kimono, her long chestnut hair is carefully tied up, and her face is covered with delicate makeup. There is an indescribable grace and luxury in the whole body.

When the girl approached, Hikaru contributed his compliments without hesitation, Fujisaki Akira's cheeks flushed slightly, and after sweeping his eyes past Hikari beside Hikari, he asked the purpose of his visit: "Afternoon Are you coming to the Hasase Junior High School party?"

Guang and Liang looked at each other, then shook their heads with a smile: "I won't go."

It should be the answer that he had expected a long time ago, and Akira Fujisaki still felt a little disappointed.

What exactly are you trying to prove?After saying goodbye to the two, and turning around to meet up with his friends, Akira Fujisaki laughed in his heart.

Since Guang became a professional chess player, their intersection has become less and less.

It's not that there is no Guang's mobile phone number, but after finally asking Guang to come, he only dialed it twice.Both times were topics related to Go.

Although every time at the end, the light is always responsive, but that's all.

The cell phone number she knew so well never called her cell phone even once.

And that Go player named "Taya Ryo"...

He always seems to be with the light.

Akira Fujisaki can't remember exactly when she started to have such an idea, and this idea is still getting stronger and stronger with the passage of time. She even has a strong intuition that Hikari and Taya are different. Just a relationship of friends.

But whatever the truth, there seemed to be no room for her to intervene anymore.

It's time to let go.

After reuniting with his friends, he finally turned around and took a look at the fading light. On the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, Akira Fujisaki finally drew an incomplete end to his secret love for many years.

For the eyes that once fell on him, Guang never paid attention to it.

Or to be more precise, just because he never wanted to develop a relationship with Mingming as "more than a friend", so Hikari never treated Mingming to himself, which is obviously different from the kindness and concern he treats other people. thought about the direction.

But Ryo knew.

Ever since he discovered that he had a different idea of ​​the light, he has paid attention to all the people who are close to the light.

He had rejoiced more than once that fortunately, the person who couldn't ask for it was not himself.

It's just that sometimes, ignorance is more cruel, you know, light.

Coming out of the meeting place, there was no place in particular that he wanted to go, and he happened to see a signboard not far away that indicated the location of the shrine ahead, so Liang Heguang followed the prompts and slowly searched for it.

When passing the first intersection, Liang suddenly said: "Miss Fujisaki is very beautiful today."

Guang didn't hear the voice of Liang's words, so he added in passing: "Yeah, I didn't feel that at all before."

"Well, after all, the Eighteenth Women's University has changed." Liang glanced at Guang, nodded in agreement, and then said, "Guang, if you actually want to go to the party, you don't have to think about me, just go."

Yumu's head finally heard the sourness in the words, and thought that the big thing is not good, and the vinegar jar is about to fall, so he changed his words and explained: "No, no, what I mean is that Buddha depends on gold, and people depend on clothes! As for that What party, I really don't want to go at all! Sincerely!"

However, a certain person glanced at it, only nodded his head and let out a non-committal "uh" from his throat, and walked forward on his own.

Seeing that Liang seemed to be refraining from oil and salt, Guang panicked a little.

He simply walked a few steps faster, passed in front of Liang, and blocked his way: "Also, I wanted to say just now that Japanese girls' makeup skills are really monsters! Make-up and makeup removal are completely different!"

I've already talked about this, but it seems...it's useless.

Liang still kept a straight face, looking at him coldly.

Afraid that Liang would make a "sneak pass" move in the next second, Guang Qiang's skills were poor, so he had to pull Liang's sleeves and beg for mercy in a low voice: "Liang, I was wrong, don't be angry, okay?"

Liang wasn't really angry at first, but when he saw Guang looking at him pitifully, he finally couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud with his head bowed.

It is the kind of slightly restrained smile between a smile and a shallow smile. For some reason, it emerges on the corners of Liang's lips. Coupled with Liang's current attire, it seems to be wearing some kind of taboo that makes people's hearts throb./ For taste.

Guang couldn't help but stare at Liang for a long time without blinking.

In the end, Liang couldn't bear to watch anymore, and stretched out his hand to shake in front of Guang's eyes: "Light, light!"

Seeing Guang finally came back to his senses, Liang pointed behind Guang again: "The road is ahead, not on my face."

Guang suddenly held Liang's hand in his palm, and said seriously, "No, it's here with you."

He looked at Liang, and said word by word, solemnly: "The road I want to take can't be done without you, so I'm here with you."
