Chapter 16 Olympic man

That story comes from a conversation at a certain Ginza bar.The woman had a man who she would spend a night with after seeing each other every four years.They usually do not communicate with each other, but they will meet by chance.When I heard this story, I was already a little drunk, but it still touched my sense of smell as a writer.At that time, the story I heard five years ago suddenly came to my mind clearly.Since they meet every four years, it can be written in conjunction with the concept of the Olympics.Moreover, when writing this short story, it happened to be the late summer just after the Athens Olympic Games, which was really the best time.Such encounters and partings also took place at a time when many Japanese were mixed with joy and sorrow over the results of judo and women's wrestling.I like this melancholy very much.If there is someone you want to see every few years, maybe your daily life will be a little happier and more motivated than it is now.However, we only see each other once in four years, and we grow old in the blink of an eye.Because, twenty years can only meet five times.Every time we meet, the weight gradually increases.Hair is also gradually graying.This feeling is very interesting, let’s write a long article another day.

Oshitani Yuan seems to have a habit of encountering a bottleneck every four years, that is, in the year of the Olympic Games. That cannot be called a habit, but a low tide of fate that occurs regularly every four years. During the Sydney Olympics last time, she was deeply troubled about changing jobs.During the previous Atlanta Olympics, she was busy with job hunting activities, and suffered a 27-game losing streak during interviews. Looking back now, she is very glad that she finally found a job immediately after graduation, and the job transfer went smoothly. However, whenever falling into the low ebb of the bottleneck, Yuan, who is very low in stress resistance, vomits all day long, always clinging to gastrointestinal medicine.On the way to interviews or halfway through work, I often rush to the toilet to vomit.Not only is there something wrong with the stomach, but the skin has also become very bad.And every time I suffer from insomnia due to depression.

Although I wholeheartedly hoped that this time could go through smoothly, I didn't expect that at the same time as the Athens Olympics was held, the big wave of fate swallowed Yuan again. Moreover, everything was beyond her expectation—boyfriend Sueda Seiichi suddenly didn't want to get engaged. Both Jingyi and Yuan have met their parents and have entered the stage of getting engaged.Lu is twenty-nine years old, Jing is two years older than her, and today she is thirty-one years old, and they have been dating for three years.In terms of the age of both parties, they should be married almost.Unexpectedly, at the last critical moment, the other party suddenly flinched.

Yuan fell into chaos and was extremely sad.On the one hand, her emotions were affected, but she didn't know how to speak to her parents who were expecting her to get married.At the same time as the opening ceremony of the Athens Olympics, the days of stomach medicine and vomiting began again. No matter how hard she pressed, Jingyi replied, "I just don't want to get married for the time being".At present, there seems to be no shadow of a third party, nor is it because of work troubles. Both parties are ordinary office worker families.Since I don't know the reason, I don't know how to deal with it.

Yuan was really cornered. The worst part is the two-day holiday weekend.She would walk out of the house pretending to be on a date, not knowing where to go or whom to meet.She walked aimlessly on the street, drank coffee on her stomach, and walked into a movie theater full of couples. On this day, she was also dressed for a date, walking on Namiki Avenue in Ginza, where the sun was as hot as summer.He has often come to Yin since he was a child, and this is a street that makes him feel relaxed.In Lu's eyes, other downtown areas are places where teenagers come and go, so she and Jingyi often come here for dates.

The man came out of the overseas brand flagship store that has suddenly increased recently.He nodded slightly.Walking out of the glass door that the doorman opened for him, he was wearing ivory white cotton trousers and a jacket made of dark blue washed crinkle. "Eight generations." The man looked at Yuan with a frown, and immediately smiled. "Ah, so it's Oshitani, long time no see." Yuan was so excited by the long-lost coincidence that he couldn't help but speed up his speech. "It's been four years. The last time we met was when Takahashi won the gold medal in the marathon at the Sydney Olympics."

Yashiro Yasuhachi is more stable than before, and feels very mature. "Yeah, I haven't seen you for four years, how are you?" Yuan also found that her voice became more charming. "not good at all." "You have a problem again." Yuan looked up at Jingchun's expression of having nothing to do with him.He is always at ease, without any feeling of being busy at all, no different from his college days.Yuan plucked up the courage to ask: "Yatsushiro, are you free? I want to chat with you." Ah ha ha.Jingchun smiled and said: "It's like this every time I see you. No problem, anyway, I'm just shopping."

They walked into the first coffee shop they saw.It took Yuan thirty minutes to describe the current state of herself and Jingyi in detail.It's not so much a discussion, it's more like a unilateral talk from her.Even in such a situation, Jingchun would not lecture her, let alone scold her, but just listened with a smile on her face. This kind of place is completely opposite to Jingyi who sticks to details. Bright, flushed cheeks. "Looks like I should rethink my marriage to her. I didn't expect him to be such an indecisive person. I'm not saying he can't worry about it alone, but he's been very cold to me and doesn't think about my family at all .”

Jingchun stared at Yuan. "The current situation is very similar to four years ago, and eight years ago. At that time, you were also troubled by the company." That's right.I don't know why, every time Yuan gets into trouble, he meets Jingchun.This incredible accident has happened for the third time.Will today be the same as the previous two times?Thinking of this, Yuan's body became hot.The air-conditioned coffee shop suffocates her. "At least, you got rid of hesitation twice before and made the right decision. The company you worked for at the beginning was indeed not satisfactory, and the change of job also made you better. So, it's best not to jump to conclusions this time, Maybe you should marry him."

"Really? You really think so?" Jingchun smiled, it was a heart-wrenching smile. "En. So, it shouldn't work this time, right?" When Yuan opened his mouth, he found that his mouth was extremely sticky. Could it be because of his thirst?Yuan said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay, who told him to make me suffer so much and ignore me. He also said to calm down with each other. Let's go." "Really can?" Green nodded silently.When I met Jingchun eight years ago during the Atlanta Olympics and four years ago when I was studying for the Olympics, I also had a one-night stand after listening to his complaints.Yuan only has such a relationship with this man.

He is nice and good looking.Although I have a good impression of him, there is no further development.Speaking of it, his existence is incredible.We only contact each other once or twice a year, but we meet again after four years. Jingchun picked up the bill and stood up. "I thought there would be no follow-up after this. However, this is the third time to face yourself calmly. I think you should still marry him." Jingchun was talking.Yuan thought of his bare chest.The last two times I saw that chest were in summer, so what Yuan knew, Jingchun's chest was always drenched with sweat. Walking out of the coffee shop in Ginza, I hailed a taxi on Namiki Avenue.As soon as they got into the back car as a seat, both of them fell silent suddenly.Their sweaty hands were held together, and Jingchun's fingertips were slowly playing with Yuan's hand. Ponen skin on the back of the hands, palms, fingertips, crevices of the fingers and wrists.Twenty-five minutes later, I arrived at the hotel in the Soda Shopping Street. After they got the keys at the counter, they went into the musty room.Under the dim light of the escape lights, the two hugged each other before they had time to take a shower. Yuan is completely devoted, as if he wants to pour out the sewage accumulated in his body and mind.In this instant, there is no need to think.Here, it doesn't matter how loudly you bark, or how out of control you are.You can freely liberate yourself from everything.In front of Jingchun, there is no need to maintain the reserve of being with her future husband, as long as she freely pursues her own desires is enough.After rushing to the top for the third time, Yuan fell down on Jingchun's chest and cried for a while. She knew very well that she was not crying because of guilt and regret for Jingyi, but because of her usual self.Every four years, there is only one chance to face myself so honestly, and it only lasts for a few hours. This is, Yuan clearly realized that he would marry Jingyi.Tomorrow, I will return to the boring workplace and act as a good employee.After marriage, they will pretend to be happy. Soon after, I became more and more able to pretend, maybe I really thought I was very happy.I will walk on the life track that others have decided for me in an orderly manner, and return to my original life. However, at this moment, Yuan clearly saw all the lies.The self who lived in the lie was crying naked here, Yuan raised his head and said: "I will tell my parents about my boyfriend's decision, you have given me courage. I think, I will marry him." Yuan buried her face in Jingchun's chest again, and the bare chest after four years was wet with the sweat of the two of them.
