The residual temperature is over

The two watched the pouring rain outside the car window.

"Yu Shiye..." Wen Bieyu opened his mouth.

"Needless to say, I know everything. I've been really retrograde recently, and I'm quite crow-mouthed."

Yu Shiye reflected on himself. He turned the wipers to the maximum and insisted on driving for a while. He still felt that driving in this pouring rain was too dangerous. They just got off the highway and could park on the side of the road, so they parked the car Step aside and say:

"Wait a little bit, such a heavy rain won't last long, let's wait for this rain to pass before we go."

Wen Bieyu had no objection, he slightly shrank his neck.

The sudden heavy rain not only blocked people's sight, but also made the temperature much lower. Even if the windows were all closed, there was still a cool wind blowing on the body from nowhere, which was really cold.

Originally, they could use the air conditioner in the car to keep warm, but... Yu Shiye glanced at the fuel gauge in the car, and the fuel level on it was close to the bottom line. Just in case, before the rain stops and you find a gas station, don't wait. Turn on the air conditioner to increase fuel consumption.

Yu Shiye put down the car seat, searched for a while in the back seat, found a blanket, and handed it to Wen Bieyu:

"Come on, put on the windshield."

Wen Bieyu unfolded the blanket, it was so big that it would be no problem to wrap two people up.He put the blanket over himself, and handed one of the corners to Yu Shiye, but Yu Shiye didn't accept it.

"No, I'm not cold."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true... Ha Qiu!"

Before finishing a sentence, Yu Shiye sneezed.

Wen Bieyu was a little speechless: "There is no one around... At this time, do you still insist on your gentlemanly demeanor?"

"No - Ha Qiu, Ha Qiu!"

Yu Shiye didn't finish his sentence, and sneezed two more times.He rubbed the tip of his itchy nose and insisted on finishing his sentence.

"Not gentlemanly."

"What is that?" Wen Bieyu asked him.

Yu Shiye was a little confused.A more appropriate answer would be to be courteous and humble, but Wen Bieyu is actually not the type of person who needs him to be humble, but he passed the blanket over, really not because of his gentlemanly demeanor... or he did it naturally.

"The more important thing is," Wen Bieyu said again seeing that Yu Shiye was silent, "Even if you are really a gentleman, I don't think you are very personable. Anyway, the face is long gone, so let's save it."

The corner of the blanket that was handed over was still parked in the middle of the car, and Wen Bieyu never took back his hand.

Yu Shiye thought about it too, he took the blanket and wrapped himself in the warmth of the fur, not forgetting to avenge himself.

"Why don't you think I'm very personable? I am very personable."

"Maybe I know too many aspects of you."

"Either way, I'm very personable."

"That side of the bed."

Yu Shiye's voice stopped abruptly when he heard Wen Bieyu's words.At this time, Wen Bieyu took out his mobile phone, turned on the camera, clicked on the two of them, and took a photo.

"Bie Yu, I think," Yu Shiye said seriously, "it's a bit dangerous for you to talk like this."

"Where is the danger?"

"It's too imaginative." Yu Shiye took it a step further.

"That's because you are so good at associating. I'm obviously talking about when you used me as a pillow on the bed."

"It's really not a matter of my imagination." Yu Shiye refused to take the blame, "Bie Yu, you are a bit different from the past. Especially in terms of speaking, you would not take the initiative to speak pornographically before. Generally speaking, this is my rights."

"Oh..." Wen Bieyu laughed slowly, "Then this may be the difference between married people and unmarried people."

"I'm married too."

"fake."

The knife was so fast and ruthless that Yu Shiye was a little speechless.

Yu Shiye had nothing to say, but Wen Bieyu spoke again.The images of Yu Shiye lying in the hospital and having nightmares with Yu Shiye were still flashing in his mind, these images were like pictures, nailed in his mind, lingering.

This is the past without him, this is the past that he cannot touch, this is... this is Yu Shiye's own past.

Wen Bieyu always knew that he shouldn't explore, since the reunion, he restrained himself from knowing more.

But as time goes by, as the two get along more and more, this kind of restraint seems to be less and less useful. He still wants to know, wants to know very much, and can't wait to figure it out—what has happened to Yu Shiye all these years? what happened.

He wanted to know about these things the day after the hospital, but had no chance until now.

"Don't talk about me, aren't you a lot worse than before?"

"Well...it's really a lot worse."

Wen Bieyu didn't expect Yu Shiye to admit it directly, he glanced at the person through the rearview mirror of the car, and added lightly when he saw the person in the mirror.

"As people grow older, their character should also mature. I was too young and naive before, and I caused you a lot of trouble, right?"

A wave of anger rushed into Wen Bieyu's mind instantly. His mood at the moment was the feeling that his well-collected things were snatched away and smashed to pieces. He took two consecutive breaths before he calmed down, and said a little stiffly :

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

"of course."

"The previous you never caused me any trouble, but now you want me to do a lot of things with you. Some people feel that they have grown up, but in fact..."

Yu Shiye suddenly turned his head and took a look at Wen Bieyu. It was deep and heavy, quieter than the continuous rain curtain outside the car window, still silent, and still hard to see through.

Wen Bieyu stopped talking.

I touched his wound.

These words sounded clearly in his heart, and then regret spread out like a tide, splashing violent waves of distress.But when he was about to apologize, Yu Shiye looked away first.

Yu Shiye put his hands on the steering wheel, propped his chin up, and turned his head to one side, pointing the back of his head at Wen Bieyu, from his fingers to his hair, there was strong resentment.

"Did you replace the energy you used to coax me with the energy you used to hate me?"

He complained, breaking the awkward atmosphere in the car, but his eyes were calm, calm and indifferent.

He recalled some things, just arrived in the United States.

At that time, the weather in the United States seemed to always be the same as it is now. The sky was cloudy, and it rained heavily when there was a disagreement, making people wet all day long.

It is wet, and I have to be busy. I have classes and work at the same time. Because I can’t pay the rent of the school dormitory, I have to go back to a remote place far away from the school to rest. I can’t tell whether it’s sweat or not. It's still rain, and it's still mud that can never be shaken off.

He served dishes in restaurants, and he also went to the street to do sales. He was too popular when he was serving dishes, and he was too unpopular when he was doing sales.

Can only change.

Don't be cold-faced, learn to smile, keep funny and humorous, but don't give people too close a distance.

However, the remuneration is still only enough to support the high tuition fees. Even if the sleep time and living expenses are reduced as much as possible, it is not of much use.

Then he saw a job offer.

It is the recruitment of a nursing home, recruiting an assistant nursing staff, with free time and favorable treatment.

Yu Shiye remembered that he had read this recruitment for a long time, maybe an hour, maybe two hours.

He made a very simple calculation, as long as he accepts this job, he can end all other jobs, free up time, and focus on his studies.And he has the training and experience to do it, and as long as he's willing to fight for it, he can get it.

but……

He dreaded such a job and such a place.

He went anyway.

He remembered that day, the weather was so cold that people shivered, and he walked into the nursing home while shivering.

……

During these earliest days in the United States, Yu Shiye also asked himself countless times why he did this.

No matter how much hesitation and wavering in the middle, he finally told himself this.

Because I'm going to grow up and become more mature and stronger than before.

"..."

Wen Bieyu had already stretched out his hand, but his palm failed to touch Yu Shiye's body.The invisible barrier was more terrifying than the visible distance. He slowly retracted his arms, looked away, and looked towards the window.

The window in front of him was printed with a vague shadow, and in the shadow was Yu Shiye's blurred face.

He didn't apologize, but Yu Shiye made it very clear that he didn't need these things, he just wanted to whitewash his calm and all his emotions, so he also whitewashed his distress.

Wen Bieyu was lost in thought, leaning against the car window, holding his arm, pretending not to notice anything, continuing what Yu Shiye said just now.

"I didn't specifically hate you. I used to hate people like this."

"You lied. You used to be super gentle. Except when you were helping me, you would scold others, and you were always talking and laughing with people..."

"Doesn't this prove that I used to hate people too?"

Not this time, there will be a next time.

Wen Bieyu, who was talking, had many twists and turns in his mind.

I'll figure it out.Even if Yu Shiye is not with me, he should be living well...

Wen Bieyu lowered his head, searched in the car, and found two bottles of water.He gave himself a bottle, picked up another bottle, touched Yu Shiye's arm, and rubbed it twice, like stroking.

"Do you want it?"

Yu Shiye finally turned his head around, his expression was calm, he smiled when he saw the mineral water on his arm with his lowered eyes, and took it.

"Okay."

At this time, Wen Bieyu sent the photos he just took to Yu Shiye, and brought up the topic just now.

"Receive the photos, send this one today, so you don't have to go back and pose for a photo."

Yu Shiye felt that what Wen Bieyu said made sense, so he also took out his mobile phone, edited the photo that the other party had just sent, and posted it on Moments with a simple text.

Trapped in the car by the heavy rain[Picture of two people wrapped in blanket]

As soon as this circle of friends was sent out, it got an unexpected response. Friends from all walks of life rushed out to like and comment. It took only 15 minutes to collect the number of likes and comments in the previous few days.

Yu Shiye was thinking: "Everyone's aesthetics is really strange, the scenery before is obviously beautiful..."

He was talking, and unexpectedly discovered that Wen Bieyu was also editing Moments.

"what are you doing?"

"Occasionally, I also want to send some photos of playing with you, so as to better urge everyone to work overtime and improve every day." Wen Bieyu said plainly.

***

This torrential rain lasted for most of the afternoon, and when the dark clouds cleared, it was already a bright moon in the sky.

Yu Shiye started the car again, walked along the road for half an hour, found a gas station, filled up the gas, drove for a short time, and finally arrived at Akiruno City.

It's getting late, the street is empty, no pedestrians can be seen, most of the shops on both sides have turned off their lights, and rolling shutters are guarding the doors like iron generals. After driving on this road for a long time, I finally saw two people in the distance. Lanterns, and then drive closer, only to find that it is an izakaya.

Trapped for a long time, didn't even eat dinner, and changed direction temporarily, and the hotel has not been booked yet, Yu Shiye and Wen Bieyu together, decided to go to the izakaya to have a meal first, and then ask where there is a hotel here.

This izakaya looks quite small and old. There are five or six orange lanterns hanging at the door, and there are two red curtains below. When you lift the curtains and look inside, it is about ten square meters away. It occupies one-third of the space, but although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. There are seven or eight seats squeezed inside, half of which are counter seats.

When the two entered, there were no other customers in the izakaya, only an old silver-haired store manager who seemed to be in good spirits stood behind the bar counter, and greeted them with a smile on his face as soon as they entered.

Yu Shiye and Wen Bieyu sat down in front of the bar. There were some small clay figurines lined up in the corner of the bar. On the wall above the small clay figurines was a big Chinese character knot, which was very Chinese.

They smiled politely at the old store manager, picked up the menu and selected a few dishes, and asked the store manager in English for directions.

After hearing this, the store manager didn't use English or Japanese, but spoke Chinese: "Are you from China?"

The Chinese spoken from the mouth of the old store manager has a standard pronunciation and the words are correct and round. Yu Shiye was slightly surprised, and switched back to Chinese: "Are you Chinese?"

"Oh my god!" A dialect that people all over the country can understand burst out from the mouth of the old store manager, "I can be regarded as an old man, I am from the Northeast!"

The two were shocked.

There are four great joys in life, meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

Although the old store manager did not know Yu Shiye and Wen Bieyu before, and they are not the old iron of the old store manager, but when meeting people who speak the same language and lived in the same land in a foreign country, they can still feel I received a gift box, which contained surprises and happiness.

The old store manager from Northeast China is an acquaintance. Yu Shiye and Wen Bieyu knew about the old store manager within a few words. This old man is 66 years old this year. He came to Japan when he was 26 years old. , married and had children here, and has been here for 40 years now, and now even the children are married, have babies, and settled down in Tokyo.

I don't know when, the old store manager no longer stands behind the bar.

He cleaned up the side dishes that Yu Shiye and Wen Bieyu had ordered just now, then served the side dishes with his hands, kicked the beer box, and sat down next to Yu Shiye and Wen Bieyu, his movements were so sensitive that he didn't look like an elderly person at all. elder.

Now, he has completely controlled the dominance of the chat. After Lala Zaza said a lot of things about himself, the topic changed and turned to Yu Shiye and the two of them, and told them what they were doing here. asked out.

As soon as the old man made up his mind, he stood up, leaned forward parallel to the top of the bar, leaned his body into the bar, and took out a pen and paper.

"Let me plan a travel route for you!"

The two were a little surprised, and hurriedly said: "No, it's too much trouble for you."

"What's the matter! Why don't you just write and draw? Don't be polite. If my son doesn't come back tomorrow, I'd like to take you for a run around the city myself."

At this time, the phone in the store rang.

Lu Guangyuan, who was halfway through the writing, apologized to the two of them, and said with a smile: "Maybe my child called and explained to me that he will be back tomorrow. I will answer the phone first."

As he spoke, he returned to the bar and picked up the phone.

"Hey--"

Yu Shiye managed to break free from the machine gun-like Northeast dialect. He was eating some side dishes to catch his breath when Wen Bieyu touched his elbow. He looked over suspiciously and saw the person sitting next to him raised his head forward. Lift your chin.

Yu Shiye took another look.

Good guy, Lu Guangyuan who was standing in front of the phone didn't know what he heard. He was very happy. His face became longer and longer, and became more and more fierce. Even the wrinkles on his cheeks drooped. He looks like a pit bull with downcast cheeks.

Suddenly, he roared.

"You bastard won't come back!"

"Work overtime, work overtime, what about Gaha, you have nothing else to do except work overtime, right? Even if you say take your wife and granddaughter out to play!"

Something was probably said on the phone, and Lu Guangyuan roared again.

"You still dare to talk to me! Did I tell you to find this company that makes you work overtime every day? Did I tell you to find this group of colleagues who don't stay home every day? That's it, how dare you let me go, go, go, Go, Lao Tzu said, I will never go in this life!"

There was a loud bang, and the old store manager slapped down the receiver of the phone. Yu Shiye and Wen Bieyu were slightly startled at the same time, and Yu Shiye subconsciously held Wen Bieyu's hand.

Wen Bieyu: "..."

Originally looking at the old store manager, he glanced at his grasped palm.

At this time, Yu Shiye leaned towards him and whispered in his ear.

"This old man is a bit irritable. I'm a little worried that he will explode directly later, and the aftermath will blow us up..."

"If this is really the case..." Wen Bieyu was a little speechless, "Then there is nothing we can do."

"Don't be afraid, if this is the case, I will cover you and run together." Yu Shiye squeezed the hand he was holding, and said calmly, "I'm ready."

While the two were communicating in low voices, the old store manager who had dropped the phone came angrily to Yu Shiye and Wen Bieyu. The two were ready, and Yu Shiye even tried to persuade him:

"Don't be angry. The child has a family and has to work. He is usually a little busy. It's not that he didn't come to see you on purpose."

The old store manager twitched his mouth a few times, and slapped the table with a slap, shaking the table, bowls and pans, then retracted his five fingers, crumpled up the paper he had just written on, threw it into the trash can, and said formally Propose to Yu Shiye and Wen Bieyu:

"Because the child is not coming back, please let me be your tour guide in Akiruno City. Don't worry, I will take you all around the interesting places here!"
