Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Wind Flower

From January to February, Toko is obsessed with making hats.Because there is a fashion show in mid-March, I have to rush to make hats for the show. Although I don't look down on ordinary small shops, I am still worried about the hats on display.Therefore, from design, forging, to edging, Dongzi has to do it by himself. While making hats, Dongzi forgot about Takashi and Mrs. Nakayama, and devoted herself to her work with a peaceful mind.There was no such situation before, no matter what job I did, I would immediately think of Guizhi, wondering whether he was at home or in the office.Now I seldom miss it, even if I think about it occasionally, I forget it right away.Maybe Dongzi has also gotten used to the celibate life after losing her womb.

After leaving Mrs. Zhongshan that day, Mrs. Zhongshan called twice, but Dongzi didn't go.The first time I had a cold, and the other time I didn't go because of urgent business. "If you have time, be sure to come." Although Madam said so, Dongzi didn't call her.It's not that she hates Mrs. Zhongshan very much, nor is she afraid of the approach of women of the same sex. On the contrary, sometimes she dreams of Mrs. Zhongshan's gentle caress. However, Dongzi doesn't want to change the current state, although it can't be said that he is clean and self-sufficient. At the beginning of February, the hats on display were almost finished.There are two kinds of hats popular this year, one is the high-topped Croshua, which was popular in 1920, with a bird pattern on the top, and the other is a bright red boy-style big cap.Not to mention whether it is easy to sell or not, the delicate and transparent hat reveals the tenderness of women.It's really beautiful.

Just when the last one was about to be finished, Guizhi called. "How is it?" Guizhi still asked her like that. "How about what?" Dongzi asked coldly, but her heart still trembled.This is the call that came after two months after an unsatisfied night at the end of last year. "I asked you out on a trip last time. Can you make time next week?" Guizhi agreed to travel in October last year.At that time, I planned to comfort Dongzi who was discharged from the hospital and go to the warm Kyushu.Since then, it has come to the end of the year, perhaps because of being busy, Guizhi never mentioned it again.Three months have passed, and Guizhi doesn't seem to have forgotten. "Going to Fukuoka next week on business. Go to Miyazaki before going to Fukuoka."

Like Kishi's many trips are related to work, he is not someone who travels just for recuperation.I was dissatisfied at first, but I got used to it later, and most of all, I was fascinated by Takashi. "Kitakyushu is cold, but Miyazaki is warm. It is already the season of plum blossoms." "..." "Go directly to Miyazaki on Sunday and Fukuoka on Monday. I plan to stay in Fukuoka for two or three days. If you are in a hurry, you can come back first." The only day off for Dongzi Store is Sunday, and when I returned from Fukuoka on Tuesday morning, I had an extra day and a half off.

What Dongzi was thinking about was not the store, what Dongzi was most worried about was what happened at night.Would it still feel uncomfortable to let Kishi hug you during the trip?It's awkward if the two of you don't get satisfied during the trip. "How is it, what's the matter?" "No……" "You don't just stay at home." Winter is thinking of the sunny southern coast.If you are in a good mood when traveling, you may be able to enjoy the fun again. "How, can it work?" "yes……" "Then, hurry up and prepare your tickets. If there is a direct flight in the morning, take that one." Guizhi still made his own decision early. "The ticket will be sent to you, or will it be given to you at the airport?"

"Give it to me at the airport." Dongzi realized that Funatsu would send it, and immediately refused. "Then it's settled." Dongzi put down the microphone.Originally, I thought that if Guizhi called, I would ask him about taking the whole family to Hawaii for the New Year and make fun of him, but after calling, I found out that it was just an appointment to travel. Toko was annoyed at being so obedient to Takashi. On Sunday, the plane departs from Haneda Airport at 11:30. Dongzi arrived at the airport at 5 past 11.From the central hall to the outside, and then to the second terminal hall to Miyazaki, Takashi was not found.The time is right, I came early.Dongzi stood in a corner of the hall and waited.Soon, I saw Guizhi's figure.He was wearing a gray coat and carrying a suitcase.

"Oh, so beautiful." "what?" "I said you are so beautiful." After Guizhi finished speaking, he patted Dongzi on the shoulder lightly, "The one who sells hats doesn't wear hats." "Strange?" "No." Dongzi didn't know what clothes to wear until yesterday.Today she's wearing a sweater, a double georgette skirt, and a navy blue overcoat.I wanted to wear a hat, but decided not to wear it in order to show off my soft hair. "Is that all the luggage?" Toko is holding a large Louis Vuitton case. "Just take it in like this." Kishi nodded and walked towards the counter.

Since it was Sunday, it was crowded in front of the reception counter to Miyazaki, and there seemed to be group travelers with golf rackets. "It's almost on time." Guizhi returned with the boarding ticket. "Arrive Miyazaki at 1 o'clock." The two entered the car lounge, from where they got a car to catch the plane.Dongzi and Takashi sat down side by side by the window. The weather in Tokyo has been really nice recently, sunny and breezy. "What did you say to your wife?" Dongzi asked after boarding the plane. "It's nothing..." Guizhi hesitated to speak, and lit a cigarette. "Miyazaki's hotel is set in a place where you can see Qingdao. Although it's a bit far from the street, it's a quiet place."

"However, it is very strange." "what?" "because……" The two who broke up once traveled together again, and when people they didn't know met, they would still think they were lovers.In fact, the two are in love.This kind of love is not as innocent and romantic as young lovers, nor is it for the sake of the future.The two are connected by a thread of love. Right now is the blue sea. Seen from the air, the sea looks like a blue velvet bathed in sunlight.While the Sea of ​​Japan was covered with heavy snow, the Pacific coast was unbelievably bright and sunny.

Looking at it, Dongzi felt sleepy for a while.Traveling alone will not be so easy. Now that I am with Kishi, even if something happens, I don’t feel nervous. What is this gentleness... is it the sense of security that I have known for many years? Dongzi leaned her head against the window, when Takashi came closer. "What can you see?" "It's all the sea, and there are two boats." "How's your health since the last time we met?" "fine." "I saw Mrs. Zhongshan recently." Upon hearing Mrs. Zhongshan, Dongzi turned to look at Guizhi.

"She has been to the office." "What's the matter?" "It seems that you came by the way. Listen to her, you went to her house during the New Year." "Ok……" "She said drinking wine together made me happy." Dongzi thought of what happened that night after drinking, and felt his whole body stiffen. "She seems bored." "What did you say?" "On and on about the professor having a change of heart." "Is the professor real?" "Maybe it's true, but not as exaggerated as she says." "..." "She was a bit hysterical persecution paranoia." Dongzi remembered the scene when his wife suddenly became naked. "It's best not to get too close to someone like that." "I……" "She seems to like you very much. Anyway, she wants to play." "However, if her husband changes his mind, there is nothing she can do if she becomes hysterical." Dongzi didn't know why, but always wanted to defend his wife. "But there's no need to speak out about your husband's frivolity." "Perhaps Ma'am likes you?" "how come……" "You do not know?" "Even so, such a noisy and talkative woman is really annoying." "Did you say anything else?" "Just say this and go back." "She must be lonely." Dongzi remembered that day when the lady said "there is no uterus" and approached her eyes. Arrived at Miyazaki Airport, a little late. The sunshine in the south is very bright.The two walked through the hall, called a taxi parked in front of the airport, and drove to the hotel in Qingdao. "Isn't the season relatively free now?" Guizhi asked the driver. "This year is not very good, it is not good, because many people have gone to Hawaii and Guam." For Miyazaki, who relies on the appeal of the southern country, the Pacific Ocean's everlasting island is a strong competitor. From the car window, you can see the Washington coconut trees beside the road, surrounded by camellia trees and blooming camellias. About 20 minutes later, the car arrived at the sightseeing hotel.The room is on the fifth floor, with a panoramic view of Qingdao. "Take a break, or go out right away?" "casual." "Then go downstairs and have something to eat before going out." Dongzi took off her coat and left the room wearing only a mink shawl. "They seem to be newlyweds." Guizhi said embarrassingly while drinking coffee in the sun room on the first floor. I hailed a taxi from the hotel and drove to the cactus garden via Horikiri. "This area is also the warmest place in Miyazaki." The driver introduced them. There was no need to wear a coat in early February.At the entrance of the cactus garden, aloe vera is blooming yellow flowers. After watching the cactus garden, I went to Lilliputia.The curved coastline is dotted with manjulan trees.The two are sitting on the beach. "It would be great if I could live in such a place leisurely." Dongzi said looking at the coastline. "Two or three days is fine, a week is enough." "yes?" "Because it's a busy time, it's okay to come here once in a while." Indeed, maybe Takashi is not suitable for such a quiet place. "How many years have you been traveling with you?" "13 years ago, I went to Tsuwano in spring." "Yes……" That trip made the two finally break up. "That's weird." Kishi smiled slightly. After breaking up, the two traveled together again, which is indeed a bit strange.However, Toko had another purpose for this trip. When I returned to the hotel from the beach and took a shower, it was already 6 o'clock.The sun set on the top of the mountain behind, and the sunset glowed Qingdao brilliantly. Dinner is delivered to a Japanese-style room connected to the bedroom. There are sashimi, fried shrimp, and the local specialty mushroom braised sea urchin. "Drink less." Guizhi poured wine for Dongzi. "Looks like I'm getting drunk." "Going to sleep anyway." Dongzi nodded, thinking about what happened at night.Can meet each other tonight?Simply get drunk and forget about all the anxieties, maybe it will be smoother.Dongzi made up his mind. I didn't eat, I only ate snacks, and my stomach was full.After drinking a jug of wine, my cheeks felt feverish. "How about going to the bar downstairs for a drink?" After dinner, Guizhi invited Dongzi. From the bar downstairs, you can see the sea through the windows.In the past, there were lights shining on the whole of Qingdao at night, but now the lights have been removed, and the island is completely submerged in the black sea. Dongzi asked the waiter for kangbalisuta.Kangbali was mixed with alcohol, and Dongzi asked the waiter to dilute it for her.After staying in the bar for about an hour, the two returned to the room, it was already ten o'clock.Dongzi was looking at the sea under the night from the window, and Kishi came over. "are you tired?" "a little……" "I've been taking cars and planes." Guizhi said while putting his hands on Dongzi's shoulders, "It's so quiet." A bunch of red flames can be seen vaguely in the distance. "Change into your bathrobe." Toko went back to the bedroom, took off her clothes, and took out the pajamas from the Louis Vuitton bag. When she was dressed, Takashi came in. "It's been a long time." Guizhi couldn't bear it anymore and pulled Dongzi over. "Wait……" Dongzi didn't answer, but started to cry. "Is it too much..." Guizhi loves himself so much, but he is so useless.This is why Dongzi cried. "Don't cry." Guizhi hugged the crying Dongzi tightly. "Come on, let's go to sleep." Fuyuko closed her eyes on Takashi's chest.Kishi soon fell asleep. Dongzi got out of bed after listening to Guizhi's even breathing.There was a small lamp on the table, and the room was dark.Dongzi put on her petticoat and sat on a chair by the window.The downstairs hall, where there was music just now, has also become quiet now, with the dark sea in front of it, and only the lawn in front is illuminated by fluorescent lights.Dongzi turned her eyes to the distance. On the right was a row of connected lights. The coastline curved to the right. Listening carefully, she seemed to be able to hear the roar of the waves. While looking at the pitch-black sea, Fuyuko thought about her body that hadn't climaxed. Thanks to being out on a trip, I feel somewhat satisfied, but it is far from the joy of the past.The experienced Guizhi may not have noticed it.Kishi was still asleep there.When I wake up tomorrow, I'm afraid he won't say anything. The next morning was cloudy, but not cold. The two had breakfast in the dining room on the first floor at 9 o'clock. The breakfast consisted of cornflakes, toast and ham.Guizhi wiped it all away, and Dongzi only drank coffee. "Don't eat?" “Coffee is always in the morning 3” Guizhi didn't say anything?Pick up Dongzi's leftover ham and eat it. "It's hard to come here, so let's go to the hunting ground." Guizhi has a strong curiosity about everything, even natural parks in Africa, where animals are raised in an open space of one million square kilometers. "The plane to Fukuoka is at two o'clock, so it's still early." The two returned to the room to prepare for departure. Leaving the hotel by car at 10 o'clock, the sky is already clear.Qingdao is shining in the blue sea.When the car enters the highway leading to the hunting ground, there are rows of date palm trees on the left and the sea on the right. Although it is February, the wind blowing in from the window is full of the breath of spring. "There's a good golf course up here." "Do you really want to play golf?" "No, I'm not in the mood now." It is rare for Takashi, who is a good golfer, to come here and not play golf. Of course, he is purely for Dongzi, who can't play golf. "Last night, you slept until midnight and woke up." "do you know?" "No, just felt it." "Can't sleep." In the past, as long as she felt that Takashi was by her side, Toko could sleep with peace of mind.Almost never got up in the middle of the night. "Is the bed uncomfortable?" This is also one of the reasons, but more importantly, it is the uneasiness caused by the lack of sexual satisfaction. "You're still neurotic. Are you particularly strong after surgery?" "..." "Most people get fat after surgery, and you lose weight." "No." In fact, I really lost weight, at least two catties. "That's good. When you travel, you should forget everything and just relax." Needless to say, Takashi wanted to do that too, but he couldn't.She can't control her emotions as well as Takashi.This is a character, and it cannot be changed overnight. "I can sleep anywhere, so that I really want to lose sleep." It is true that Guizhi can eat and sleep, and does not have to worry about health problems at all.But this is not to say that Guizhi is very rude, like speaking without thinking just now, in fact, he has read her mind. The hunting ground is located in Satsuwara Town in the northern part of Miyazaki City, and it seems that it has just opened. Tigers and lions are kept in large open spaces, but it cannot be said that they are raised naturally.On the discolored land, there are groups of four or five, leisurely and unrestrained. "It's like the railings of the zoo have been slightly enlarged." Guizhi, who has been to Africa, seems very dissatisfied. "From here, we'll take another look around the city and then head to the airport, just in time." From the hunting field, the two visited Miyazaki Shrine and Hachio Yining Pagoda.Then return to the city. "hungry." Looking at the watch, it was past 12 o'clock. "Let's eat at a restaurant by the Oyodo River." Takashi in Miyazaki City was a little familiar, and he told the driver the name of the restaurant. After lunch on the second floor of the hotel, Kishi called the Tokyo office, and he gave some instructions loudly on the phone.He is a person who can't stay idle no matter where he goes. Dongzi looked at Guanzhi's expression on the phone, and suddenly remembered that he should call the store. "Ah, lady boss." It was Maki who answered the phone. "Is there a problem?" "No. Two or three calls." "Who hit it?" "Mr. Fushiki, and Mr. Funatsu." "Funatsu?" "He said he had something important to tell you." "What is it?" "He said to call him when he came back." Toko figured out that there was nothing wrong and returned to her seat. "Is it okay in the shop?" "Ok……" "Then, let's go." Kishi twisted the cigarette he had just lit, and stood up. At 1:30, the two arrived at the airport by taxi and waited 30 minutes for the plane to Fugan. "What's for dinner tonight?" Kishi asked when boarding the plane. "Hakata, I'm familiar with it. Go out and have a drink when we get there." Guizhi seemed very excited to go to a familiar city.Dongzi is not the case, she has been worried about the urgent call from Funatsu. The plane arrived in Fukuoka at 2:45 pm, and it took only 45 minutes from Miyazaki to Fukuoka. The weather in Fukuoka was gloomy. Before departure, I thought Kitakyushu must be cold, but today it is very mild and not that cold. The two went directly to the hotel by car from the airport. This city was passed by Fuyuko during his school trip, but he did not stay. Now that he came to see it, it was unexpectedly large, and the surrounding area of ​​the hotel was almost the same as the city center of Tokyo. "Take a break, someone will pick you up at 6 o'clock." Guizhi said after taking a shower. "Which one is coming?" "The people from the news agency here have met several times and are very familiar with them." "Then, with him..." "I want to have dinner with him, okay?" The two of them finally went out for a trip, and had to eat with someone they didn't know, Dongzi was very upset.But Kishi seems to have notified that person. "He's a nice guy, you'll know it when you meet him." This has nothing to do with people being good or bad, as long as there are people they don't know, women should be cautious, this kind of subtlety, Guizhi doesn't know. "Does he know about us?" "I didn't say anything to him. You should be considerate of me properly." "appropriate……" "He understands this kind of thing very well." In short, Takashi didn't want Dongzi to worry, and Dongzi was fooled by the word "proper".Guizhi may have thought that he would be fine after speaking, but Dongzi was in a very uncomfortable mood.She went into the bathroom with a miserable heart.It was four o'clock when she finished washing.It seems that the left side of the window is west, and the windows of the building are burned red by the sun. "Want to take a break?" What does Kishi want to say? "There are still two hours." "I'm not going to sleep, you rest." Kishi lay down on the bed with a dissatisfied expression. Dongzi wanted to smoke very much.I haven't smoked a single cigarette since I left Tokyo.Dongzi sat on a chair and smoked.Perhaps because of taking a bath, her mood began to calm down. "Then I'm going to sleep." "Ok." In less than two or three minutes, Guizhi began to make sleepy sounds.Seeing Yuzhi's sleeping state, Dongzi suddenly remembered to call Funatsu.In order not to let Guizhi hear, Dongzi put on a sweater and went to the first floor.Next to the information desk, there is a telephone for local use. After a short call, it seemed to be a young girl from the office who answered the phone. "Is Mr. Funatsu there?" "Please wait a moment." Suddenly, a loud voice came from the phone: "I'm Funatsu." "Ah, I was taken aback." "Is it Ms. Kinochi? Where are you?" "In Kyushu. You said there is something important, what is it?" "Can I talk now?" "Can." "That's what happened last time. There really seems to be something wrong with that hospital." "question?" "Had a reputation for removing wombs at will." It was that thing again, and Dongzi's mood became gloomy. "Needless to say, sometimes it has to be removed. However, that hospital doesn't care about young people." "why?" "I inquired carefully, and it seems that removing the uterus is easier than cutting myoma." "Is there such a thing?" "It's true. This is what my friend told me. Broken hands and feet, amputation is easier than bone grafting. In short, this is the same reason that it is easier to replace a new one than to repair it." "..." Dongzi didn't know what to answer.It never occurred to her that her uterus was simply removed like changing a TV. "But the doctor made it clear that it's impossible not to remove it." "That's because it was removed. This is also the doctor's own conclusion." "That doctor can't be so sloppy, can he?" "I think so too. But it is said that the dean will remove the uterus even for mild fibroids." "But, I don't know if the fibroids are serious?" "Investigating now. When will you be back?" "Tomorrow afternoon." "Then we'll talk about it later." It seemed that Funatsu couldn't make phone calls from the office for a long time. At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the agreed person came to the hotel. Guizhi shaved his beard and combed his slightly curly hair. He looked careless but very beautiful.He was wearing a faded tan sportswear, a cicada tie, and suit trousers on his lower body.Dongzi changed into navy blue trousers, an Angora sweater, and a coat. "If I disturb you, you'd better come back." After taking the elevator, Dongzi said. "Don't worry too much. He's not that uninformed." "Going to the night market is only interested in men." "We are two people, don't just think about bad things. I want you to see the night view of Hakata." Guizhi seemed very happy.But Dongzi was not interested.This was both because of the burden of being with someone he didn't know, and because of Funatsu's phone call just now. Fuyuko felt depressed and hated Takashi who was so cheerful. I got off the elevator and came to the lobby on the first floor. A man raised his hand in front of the service desk. He was about the same age as Kishi, only a little thinner. "Ah, hello." Guizhi walked over quickly, "Long time no see." "welcome." The two seemed quite affectionate, patting each other on the shoulder in harmony. "This is Kinochi-kun. Fujii-kun from Kyushu Shimbun." Kishi introduced them. Dongzi bowed his head to salute.Fujii nodded and said, "Is this your first time in Kyushu?" "I came here once during a school trip." "School trip? We also had that time." After speaking, Fujii laughed. "Wait for the car. Let's go." "where to?" "By the Naka River, there is a very good fugu restaurant. Do you hate fugu?" Fujii asked. "I like it very much." "When you come to Fukuoka, you must first eat fugu." Indeed, as Takashi said, Fujii is a straightforward person. The banquet is pre-booked and is on the second floor.Looking out of the window, various neon lights are shining on the river. "The east side of this river is Hakata, and the west side is Fukuoka." Fujii explained, looking at the Naka River shrouded in night, "This is the castle town of Kuroda Sora's 520,000 koku. Hakata is the so-called town of townspeople, and Fukuoka is called The samurai residence. Our side is the town of the townspeople.” "In the past, even if you were born, you had to live here." Guizhi interjected a joke. The first is the puffer fish fillet, followed by the puffer fish hot pot. It is worthy of being the fish in Xuanjietan, it is very fresh. Fujii is drinking fin wine, Takashi is mixing whiskey with water, it seems that he only wants to drink whiskey tonight.Dongzi also ordered fin wine.Although Dongzi is afraid of getting drunk, she still hopes to get drunk soon. "Is it delicious?" "Well, it's delicious." "After eating the fish here, the fish in Tokyo will become even more tasteless." Fujii seems to be an authentic Hakata person, a bit boastful, but not annoying. "By the way, I invite you to eat white fish. Now is the season for white fish." Fujita immediately greeted the maid and asked for white fish seasoning. "Really want us to eat 'jump food', want to eat?" "What? That." "Live fish with seasonings to eat." "Terrible!" "But the taste is fresher." "It's alive in the stomach." "How can this be eaten?" Dongzi frowned. The white fish in a small bowl is so transparent that it is really pleasing to the eye, and the fish is so beautiful. "Is this caught in Fukuoka?" "Swim up to the Muromi River to lay eggs, and the fish that come back are caught." Fuyuko thought of Funatsu in an instant.Funatsu's hometown is Muromi in Fukuoka, so Funatsu has seen such white fish before.Dongzi thought absently. Fujii said as if suddenly getting up: "My wife is going to be hospitalized next week." "Hospitalized? What hospital?" Guizhi asked him back. "Uterine fibroids, it seems that surgery is needed." Kishi immediately glanced at Fuyuko, and then looked at Fujii pretending nothing happened. "That's troublesome." "I said I was unwell about half a year ago. But I didn't expect to have my uterus removed." "Which hospital?" "There is a familiar doctor in the National Hospital, I went to him." "how old?" "Exactly 40." Dongzi silently looked out the window. "My wife is about to cease to be a woman." "No. Even if the uterus is removed, a woman is still a woman." "Really?" "The uterus is only used to give birth to a child, and the most important thing for a woman is the ovary. So talented journalists don't even know this little knowledge." "I don't know anything about science. You're pretty good at it." "Know something." Guizhi drank his whiskey with some embarrassment. "It's not a big deal in principle. But I still feel disgusted when it comes to wives who have lost their wombs." Fujii said, "I want to set up an association for husbands of women who have lost their wombs." "what?" "Just call such men and comfort each other. After asking, there are five people in our agency, so many." "..." "In the past, did you live like this?" "have no idea." "I asked, uterine cancer is mostly caused by housewives with many children, but fibroids are mostly caused by old maids, or women who do not get the love of their husbands." "how come……" "My friend said it. According to him, there is a statistic that shows that the low-income class has more cancers, and richer women have more fibroids." "how about you?" "TOEFL, I have a high salary." Fujii smiled to himself.Then turned to look at Dongzi: "Oh, I'm sorry, I said some boring words." "No." "As people grow older, they will suffer from various diseases." "Can Ma'am undergo surgery?" "Although I don't want to. But the doctor said that this is a last resort." "It's better not to pick it off." "You think so too?" "Never pick..." "I think so too, but it's going to get worse if it goes on like this." "But..." Dongzi was about to say, when Guizhi stood up: "Would you like to go out for a walk?" Leaving the puffer shop, the three of them took a walk on the beach. There are more than 1,500 clubs and bars in the river beach area, surrounded by the Naka River and the Hakata River on both sides.Near the first street in the south, there are many high-end restaurants lined up, and the sound of Sanxian can be faintly heard. "Shall we go underground?" Fujii whispered to Kishi. "Okay." Kishi thought for a while. "Let's go to Ma'er today." The two seem to have a secret code.After walking about a hundred meters, I entered a club called "Blue Horse" on the third floor.The name of the shop is Ma.Fuyuko and Takashi have been to clubs in Tokyo once or twice. Compared with those clubs in Tokyo, this club is very spacious. "Mister is here." The woman in kimono immediately approached Guizhi, "It's been a long time since I saw you, and I was still talking about you yesterday." It seems that Guizhi is very familiar with this place.Since Toko was beside him, Kishi nodded in embarrassment. Everyone sat down quickly and raised their glasses to drink. "Is it from Tokyo?" "Mr. Kishi's secretary, Ms. Kinochi. This is the proprietress." Fujii introduced them. "Please take care of me." The proprietress greeted politely. "It's so beautiful." Toko looked at the proprietress in a panic, and was surprised by Fujii's introduction at the same time.When asked by the woman at the beginning, Dongzi didn't know how to answer, because the man turned faster. Including the proprietress, four women sat in a circle, and the wine table became lively. The proprietress is about 30 years old, a very dignified and beautiful woman, close to the type that Takashi usually likes.Fujii seemed to like this woman in a black dress, with a small cherry mouth, very cute. "Did you come from Tokyo?" A woman in a gold silk dress beside the emperor spoke to Dongzi. "Passing through Miyazaki, just arrived in the evening." "My hometown is Miyazaki." "yes?" Dongzi immediately cheered up and talked to her about Miyazaki... After a while, I heard Fujii say drunkenly, "My wife is about to be hospitalized due to uterine fibroids." "Is Madam undergoing surgery?" the woman asked. "Without surgery, there is no cure." "Fujii, your happiness is your punishment." "why?" "People say that if you only want your husband to have fun, your wife will suffer from gynecological diseases." After staying for more than an hour, the three left the club. "Let's go to No. 13 by the way." Kishi said to Fujii.Then explain to Dongzi, "It's a small bar, how about going to another one?" Once Guizhi started to drink, he would drink continuously. In Tokyo, he once drank 5 restaurants in one night.Dongzi was in a good mood in the store just now, and seemed to be able to drink.I was very excited to walk on the unfamiliar street, and Dongzi was also very happy to be with Takashi. Moreover, when I thought about what happened at night, I seemed to feel that I should still be drunk.After being drunk and forgetting everything, Guizhi can do whatever he wants, maybe this can reawaken the previous pleasure. The hotel with the strange name No. 13 is more comfortable and tidy than the club I visited just now.It seems that Guizhi has been here before, and the proprietress sat beside him very enthusiastically. "Add water?" Dongzi decided to get drunk tonight, so she nodded. Because another guest came, the proprietress left the wine table.Kishi and Fujii are having a lively conversation. "That's a stupid design." "Although it is independent, it is also a bit curious." Fujii said angrily. It seems that the two are talking about the recently completed buildings in Fukuoka. Dongzi drank the wine mixed with water alone.Fujii turned around. "You have a lot of alcohol." "No. But I want to drink today." "Do you like Fukuoka?" "Well, I like it very much." The unhappiness of meeting Fujii has dissipated, and Fuyuko is very happy now. "It's better to have an appropriate amount." Guizhi became worried. After drinking for less than an hour at "No. 13", it was already 11 o'clock when the three left there.It has been 5 hours since I started drinking.He drank too much, and was already a little drunk. Dongzi's legs trembled when he walked. "How is it?" Fujii asked Takashi. "Then let's break up here tonight." "Okay." Fujii immediately waved for a taxi. "Good night." "Thank you." Dongzi bowed his head in thanks. Fujii nodded with a gentle smile. The two got into the car, and after the car started, Dongzi asked, "Go straight back?" "Do you still want to drink?" "yes." "Don't drink. Go back." "No." Dongzi shook her head coquettishly. It's just a short walk from the beach in the river to the hotel. "There's a bar up there, let's go." After taking the elevator, Guizhi said. Although Dongzi felt as if he could still drink, once the two of them sat down to drink, they soon became drunk.I wanted to stand up properly, but the floor seemed to shake. "It seems better to quit the dog tonight." Guizhi smiled. Although the capacity for alcohol is heavy, it still doesn't work.After drinking three times in a row from the first restaurant, Dongzi was really drunk.Usually, if there are other people around, Dongzi would be more polite, but tonight I really had enough to drink.This is both because Fujii is an informal person, and because Fuyuko herself is in a hurry to get drunk.In that store, I heard that Fujii's wife had uterine fibroids, which also stimulated her to drink.As soon as he returned to the room, Dongzi fell on the bed with his clothes on. "you're drunk?" "Hmph..." Dongzi shook his head in denial, but his body was limp and weak. Kishi hung his coat on the hanger and took off his suit. "Sleep well tonight." "No." Dongzi shook her head vigorously, "Hug me well." "Oh." Guizhi turned around. Dongzi seldom said this by himself, perhaps because he was drunk. "Then, take off your clothes." Dongzi stood up, still feeling dizzy.He unsteadily took off his coat and unbuttoned his sweater.Guizhi had already changed into his bathrobe and closed the curtains. "Hey, is it okay?" "fine." Dongzi took off her trousers, leaving only her underwear. "do not look." "I didn't see it." Kishi said while looking this way. "It's rare to see you so drunk." "Aren't you drunk?" "Then, usually not cute." "..." "Which is better?" "It's better to be drunk now." Guizhi walked over and kissed Dongzi's lips coldly. "Ah..." Dongzi couldn't help crying out. "It smells like wine." "Each each other." Guizhi stroked Dongzi's back slowly with his hands, and Dongzi felt a sweet, trembling feeling all over his body.Dongzi thought drunkenly, maybe this would evoke the pleasure of the past. Guizhi kissed Dongzi for a while, then moved her to the bed.Fuyuko felt very comfortable with the soft sheet against her naked body.She raised her chin slightly and accepted Kishi's kiss again. Kishi passionately kisses Dongzi... It was already half past eight when Dongzi woke up the next day. I didn't fall asleep after talking with Kishi last night.He just took the sleeping pills hidden in the bag, and gradually fell asleep at dawn. When she woke up, Guizhi had already got up and was smoking by the window. "Let's sleep a little longer," Guizhi said.But Dongzi got up immediately and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Sleep time is enough, but because of taking sleeping pills, I always feel a little tired.After combing her hair, Fuyuko left the bathroom.Kishi was taking off his yukata and changing into a suit. "good weather." Bright sunlight streams in through the drawn curtains. "Are you going back today?" "Well, what time is the flight?" "Go to Tokyo at any time. It's hard to come here, let's go around Fukuoka." Indeed, it was a pity that Dongzi went back like this. "Let's go to Dazaifu and have a look." "how much time is required?" "Three hours is enough. Although it is still early to see plum blossoms, it is indeed a good place." "I want to be in Tokyo by 4 o'clock." "Eat here before leaving, is it too late?" "But, have you finished your work?" "Before this evening, I will give you time." It is rare for Takashi to be at such a leisurely pace. The two went to the restaurant on the 12th floor and had a simple breakfast. "Is that Fujii a good person?" Kishi asked while sipping his coffee. "When did you meet?" "Three years ago, when I came here to design the building, he came to interview. Since then, whenever I come here, I will definitely meet. His job is the editor of the cultural page, and he is also very good at architecture and art." Fuyuko nodded, remembering what Fujii said about his wife having surgery for uterine fibroids.What if it is removed?Fujii looked like a playful person at first glance, but he was actually a very gentle and charming person. He didn't seem to have extraneous intentions like Professor Zhongshan, but men were unpredictable. "how old is he?" "Same age as me." "looks young." "Baby face is cheap." Kishi didn't talk about Fujii's wife, and the conversation between the two last night didn't touch him. Dongzi really wanted to ask how Guizhi was feeling after the night, but in a sunny place, it was painful to bring up old things again, so Dongzi decided it was better not to talk about it. At 10 o'clock, the two left the hotel by car. "Let's take a look at the cityscape of Fukuoka." Kishi said, "Look at the building I designed." Fuyuko has seen buildings designed by Takashi in Tokyo, but has not seen them outside of Tokyo. “近吗？” “不远。请开往县厅方向。”贵志对司机说。 “去年完成的，评价很高。” “昨天晚上说的是什么？” “那是另一个建筑物。那个也看看吧。” 汽车在天神的十字路口处停了下来。 “在这右边。” 冬子从车上下来，仰望着大楼。十一层的大楼，整个呈淡茶色，在沉稳的气氛中，沿着宽阔的玻璃窗形的流线型给人一种现代派的感觉。 “好漂亮啊。” “你喜欢我就放心了。”贵志确实很高兴。 看完大楼贵志领着冬子去了大濠公园，接着登上了西公园的山丘看海。站在山丘上，迎面从玄界滩吹来的风很冷。山下是巨大的供油中心，前边是博多湾。在明媚的阳光下，正面能看到志贺岛。 “那些岛上也有人住吗？”在横滨长大的冬子，一看到岛就轻松起来。 从西公园乘车一直驶向太宰府。离开城市，展现在眼前的是冬季灰沉的田园风光。 太宰府政厅始设于七世纪前后，一直存到现在。汽车到达太宰府还不到正午。 不愧是全国天满宫的总社，涂着红漆的华丽大殿，鲜艳夺目。二月中旬还不是观光的季节，观光的人不太多。尽管如此，因为被称作学问之神，还可以看到和父母亲一起来参拜的考试生。 正殿左右的红梅、飞梅等，还不到开花的时节，红梅边的桔子树缀满了黄色的果实。俩人参拜、参观宝殿花去将近一个小时。 “好不容易来趟，吃点素食吧。” 因为贵志来过一次似乎很熟悉，他领着冬子走进社务所里边的“古香庵”。 随着分别时候的来临，冬子也总觉得不想离开贵志。俩人又向光明寺走去。 光明寺座落在天满宫正门前近二百米左右的地方，是镰仓中期形成的临济宗东福寺派的寺院，也是天满宫的结缘寺。寺宝有药师如来、十一面现世音。此外，有名的还有比佛光石庭命名的前庭和一滴海内庭。这是九州最古老的庭园，但由于是在天满宫相反的方向，来游览的人不多。 入口处放有拖鞋，并贴了一张“安静入内”的布告。前园是用七、五、三十五石镶配成“光”字的石庭。看完石庭，沿着走廊向里去，有一个以小山为背景的很秀丽的山水庭园。中央用青苔模造大陆，在其周围是用水和供观赏的白砂表现大海，美妙之中透露出稳静的气氛。 “真是个好地方。” “好静呀。” 周围多是红叶，后山有一片竹林，下午的阳光正经那里照射而入。 冬子站在蜿蜒迂回的走廊上看着庭园。在青苔上面，有许多石佛，温和的阳光，将其矮小的影子透在白砂上。 刚才在走廊上的学生已经离去，庭园里只剩下贵志和冬子二人。 “很静。” "Ok." 冬子点点头，看着那些白砂，冬子感到那就象自己的心灵一样空旷。她想，园丁在造这个庭园的时候，一定是把砂子比作了大海，用砂雕成了雪白的无法充实的空虚。也许园丁就是把它看成海，在其中描画出人生的空虚。冬子想到这里，忽然产生了一种不想离开这里的感觉。不回东京索性留在这里，也许就可以摆脱无聊的苦楚，即便是自己丧失了女性的特征，达不到性高潮，也不会感到焦燥困惑。终日留恋于庭园和石佛，也许就能够过上安然宁静的生活。 "What are you thinking?" “什么也……” “你好象很喜欢这里。” “我在想，住在这样的地方会怎么样。” “你肯定能住下。”贵志微微笑了。 二人慢慢地沿着走廊向左边走去。走在通往茶室的台阶上，贵志突然说：“藤井也很担心。”虽然说得很突然，但冬子仍自然地点点头。 “尽管说得满不在乎，但他还是相当忧虑的。” “我说，不让夫人做手术为好。” "Really." “因为……” “不过，也并不是全都不行吧。” 冬子沉默了。既然贵志这样说，她也无话反驳了。也许性功能丧失确实是冬子想多了。 走廊的前边传来年轻姑娘的声音，来了新的游客，是一男一女两个人。 "Let's go." 在贵志的督促下，冬子向走廊的出口走去。 “马上就要两点了，今天还回去吗？” “嗯。”冬子答应着乘上汽车。 “那么回一趟旅馆，然后去机场。”贵志说完，汽车就驶上了刚才来的道路。 “累了吧。” "Somewhat." “最好今天不去店里，好好休息一下。” “晚上还要见谁吗？” “从今天晚上开始工作。” 冬子对精力旺盛的贵志感到嫉妒。 到了福冈机场，等了三十分钟左右才有去东京的航班。因为是二月平常的日子，大厅里空荡荡的。 “快乐吗？”在买票的时候，贵志问。 “嗯，很快乐，谢谢。”冬子垂下头。 “如果这样就好了。不过很遗憾。” "what?" "No……" "why?" 贵志用打火机点上香烟后说： “没能治好你啊。” 冬子垂下目光。 “我真是想能够给你治好的。” "That kind of thing..." “也许是无聊，可是趁着进行的时候，想给你自然地治好。” 开始介绍去东京的航班，周围的旅客一个跟着一个地向大门走去。 飞机内大致有七成的旅客，冬子坐在后面靠窗的地方，向外看去逐渐西斜的太阳照射在机翼上反射过来十分晃眼。不久，飞机慢慢地滑向跑道，很快便腾空而起。眼下福冈的街道向后延伸。飞机迅速地上升，不久开始水平飞行。 旅行到此结束了…… 冬子曾暗暗地祈祷期待着通过这次旅行改变一下环境，治愈自己的性冷淡。贵志似乎也同样希望出来旅行会治好冬子。二人的期待已经落空了。 果然再也治不好了吗…… 冬子看着窗外。飞机已把九州甩在后面，关门海峡在阳光的照射下，鳞波闪闪。 贵志不能治，没有其他人能治……我成了一个中空、冷缩谁也不理的女人。 “已经完了。”冬子小声地嘀咕着，她感到本该快乐的旅行，在就要结束的时候，越发空虚了。
