Chapter 15 Chapter Fourteen

"I worked so hard, I finally found out the address!" Omachi's tone became more and more rude and blunt. "Anyway, it came very quickly. It's hard to find this place, and it takes a long time just to check the house number." "Fortunately, the driver is very familiar with the geography of this area, so he found it right away." Kumiko was not satisfied with his answer.But after hearing what he said, it is inconvenient to ask in detail. Omachi seemed to have known where the Amamura family lived for a long time.That's why he arrived in time and Kumiko was saved.His move, which was not in vain, would not have been possible if he hadn't been familiar with the road.

The doubt was lifted, but the uneasiness came to my heart.This is because Omachi's facial expression has a sincere emotion of putting himself in Kumiko's shoes.She had no reason to harbor even the slightest suspicion of this benefactor.In fact, God knows what would have happened without Omachi.It came so quickly and I can only say thank you from the bottom of my heart. "Anyway, it's too dangerous for you to live alone in this house. It's better to go back to your mother's house earlier." "Mr. Omachi, what do you think I should do? That bandit might come again tonight."

Kumiko's face paled when she thought of the fear just now.The robbers probably realized that Omachi had arrived before they ran away.Since their purpose is not for money, there is the possibility of repeated offenses before their purpose is achieved.Maybe he pretended to run away, but actually hid in a dark corner nearby, waiting for Omachi to leave here. "Mr. Omachi, please stay here tonight!" Kumiko begged Omachi deeply with fear. "Stay here? Right here?" Omachi was obviously stunned.It was the first visit, and it was a young woman who had just lost her husband and was eagerly asking him to live here.

"Yes, but..." "It's too late to move now. I can't stay any longer by myself. As long as it doesn't cause you trouble, please stay! I beg you!" While hesitating, Omachi caught Kumiko's affectionate gaze and said: "What kind of trouble is there? I haven't even thought about it. But I'm a man, so if I stay here, I'll bring trouble to my wife!" "Not at all. I have no acquaintances around at all, and besides, I don't intend to live here long." "Understood, then stay here! I am so happy that you trust me so much." Omachi smiled, showing his white and straight teeth.Judging from the smiling face, he is an extremely hearty man.

Kumiko warmed the bath water for Omachi and made supper.She repeatedly persuaded the terrified Omachi to bathe and eat.It's been a long time since I did all kinds of work for men, and now I can't help but have the illusion that Yucun has returned home.This is a flattering illusion.After taking a shower, Omachi put on the well-fitting Amamura yukata, which further deepened her illusion. Omachi was indeed hungry.Kumiko made him a dinner out of ready-made meals.He ate his fill sweetly. "Oh, it's so delicious. It's been a long time since I had such a delicious meal." Omachi, who was full, touched his stomach.

"You can be sarcastic. It's just ready-made meals." "No, not sarcasm. It's true. I eat out all day, and it's rare to eat such an affordable home-cooked meal. It's been a long time." "It's late at night, please rest! The bed is also ready." Kumiko said casually, her face flushed.Unintentionally, he persuaded Omachi to sleep, but unexpectedly, he had the illusion of sharing the same bed with him.This is an extension of the illusion that just occurred. When you think about it carefully, this is an endless illusion.What would Omachi think if he noticed this?Would it have occurred to the young wife who had just lost her husband (to be more precise, whether she lost it or not) to ask a man of no status to be a "surrogate husband" because she couldn't bear to stay alone in the vacant house?But Kumiko is unwilling to admit that this is an illusion of hers.

She hoped it would become a reality.In the depths of her heart, the image of Yucun no longer emerged.The figure of her husband was hidden behind Omachi.She felt guilty because of this, and at the same time, she was surprised that Omachi could occupy such an important position in her heart when she had just met. Kumiko unconsciously compared Amamura to Omachi.Moreover, Omachi, who is close at hand, has ruthlessly expelled her memories of Amamura from Kumiko.Therefore, this is no longer a matter of illusion, but a potential tendency formed in her heart. "Then I'll go to sleep!" Omachi said as if deliberately avoiding Kumiko's temptation.

"Yes, before I go to bed, let me check the doors and windows again, so as not to disturb the robbers again." After Omachi's reminder, Kumiko noticed that she hadn't checked where the robbers broke in.After checking whether the doors and windows were tight, it was discovered that the lock on the back door of the inner room had been pried open. "Oh, it got in from here. It seems to be broken with some tool. First insert an iron rod and talk about it. There will never be a second time. Please rest assured and sleep!" Omachi was taking emergency measures, and Kumiko leaned forward to look closely.Omachi turned around abruptly, almost touching Kumiko's face, making him embarrassed and embarrassed.

The two of them panicked immediately, and their eyes met in unison.Although it was only a short moment, it felt like a long, long time. "Please sleep!" Omachi withdrew his gaze from Kumiko's eyes, turned around, and said. The next morning, in the dazzling morning light, they met face to face.It is dazzling not only because there is a round of bright morning sun, but also because when they greet each other good morning, they find each other's eyes are full of bloodshot eyes. Both of them are thinking, rather than saying that they went to bed last night, it is better to say that they fell asleep at dawn, resulting in lack of sleep.While Omachi's bloodshot eyes had something to do with lack of sleep, Kumiko had another reason.

Living under the same roof with a man other than her husband, although her body was very tired, she was too excited to fall asleep.At night, she had imagined the scene of Omachi breaking into her bedroom. If he broke in suddenly and wooed himself, could he refuse?She lacks that confidence. She still only knows Omachi's surname, but she doesn't know anything about her status or occupation.With such a man in a small room separated by only one wall, if he attacked her with the violence of a man, she would not be able to resist it with physical strength.Knowing this, she boldly let him stay, which shows Kumiko's trust and acquiescence in him.Needless to say, there is a lurking state of mind waiting for a man to attack.Kumiko also couldn't figure out why she fell in love with Omachi so much in such a short period of time.

She realized that she had already betrayed her husband when she begged Omachi to stay just in case.She couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief that she survived until dawn without incident. Since going to bed late last night, Omachi may have been patient and hadn't moved all night, but Kumiko, who was pretending to be asleep, gave him a pitying look. "I didn't fall asleep until three o'clock, so sleepy, I still want to sleep!" Omachi stretched himself, looking sleepy.He attributed Kumiko's bloodshot eyes to lack of sleep, which freed Kumiko from embarrassment.On the surface, he and Kumiko had the same cause of insomnia, but Kumiko couldn't figure out the other's mood. "It's better to move out as soon as possible today. You can put your things away for a while, and just bring some things you need at any time when you go back to your mother's house. It's dangerous to live here alone even for one night. Because the robber knows that you are the only one. I live here alone." "Then let's do it like this. What about you, Omachi-san? Didn't you come to Beijing to do your own business?" "It's nothing serious to do. I just came back to raise some military supplies." "Military funds?" "It's just nice to say. I want to get some living expenses, and the severance pay is almost exhausted." "So, have to find a new job?" "No, no, I don't want to look for a job anymore. I've done enough. As long as I can get the minimum living expenses, I still have to climb the mountain." "It seems that you love mountains very much?" "I don't like it." "If you don't love it, why do you still climb mountains?" "If you say 'the mountain is calling to me', that's what famous mountaineers would say. And I have to climb because a sense of obligation dominates me." When he said this, Omachi's expression was gloomy.Why does he have such an expression when he mentions mountains?When Kurobe first met, he stood with his back to the peak of the Alps, looking extremely haggard.At that time, it gave people the feeling that it was only caused by being too tired from climbing for a long time.But thinking about it now, that was exactly the sign of his gloomy expression.It was as if something in the mountains had cast a shadow over him.But what the hell is going on? Even if he loves mountains and rivers, it is rare for a dignified man to quit his job and go to the mountains. What's more, Omachi says he doesn't love mountains? In fact, when he was on the mountain, his mood was still lonely and gloomy.Coming here to find a job to raise money for going up the mountain can only show that he regards mountaineering as just one purpose in life. Omachi calls this purpose an obligation.But what kind of obligation is that?Omachi seems to keep a secret about this. "Fortunately, I have some savings, so I won't be without a living for a day or two. Now I am a lonely boat, adrift. Not to mention these things, I can help with moving or other things." Omachi changed the subject and said. "How dare I trouble you?" "No, you're welcome. It's my duty to get you to safety. I'm not going anywhere until these things are done." "It's really embarrassing. How can I get help moving from the person who saved me twice in times of distress?" "It's not a favor, it's something I've asked for. Just let me do it!" "Then please come to my natal family as a guest! My natal family is near here." "Okay then, I'll take you back." Omachi said happily.Kumiko hurriedly packed what she had to carry with her.At this time, Omachi was waiting cautiously in another room.The Omachi seen in this remote house in Umura was by no means a home breaker with malicious intentions. "Then let's go!" When Kumiko spoke, he didn't know what Omachi was thinking, and he only noticed when Kumiko greeted again. "Did it remind you of something?" Kumiko said teasingly, but Omachi was still lost in thought. "What's wrong with you?" "I shouldn't bring up the things that made you sad. I'm sorry. I heard that your husband's body was never found, and the airline has also suspended the search." Omachi suddenly brought up a new topic.Kumiko was taken aback by his sudden mention of the matter, and said: "Even if the airline stops the search, I will never give up. As a wife, I will not be reconciled. Even if there is no hope of surviving, as long as the body is not seen, it will always feel as if he is still alive." "Madam, there is one thing I would like to ask of you." Omachi wanted to ask. "What's the matter, why are you so serious?" Kumiko took a step back as if afraid of Omachi's truth-seeking attitude. "It's not difficult to do." "What's the matter?" "It's true that the plane crashed near Mt. Nagi, right?" "yes!" "That mountainous area is where I often go. This may be a coincidence. If you are willing, madam, can you take advantage of this accidental factor and ask me to help search for your husband's body?" "What, what?" Kumiko was completely at a loss when she heard this unexpected request. "Developing this mountainous area is the subject of my life. Let me add another subject to this subject! The more subjects, the better." "Then why do you have to do this?" "There is no other reason. There are always things in life that cannot be explained. I just want to work for my wife." "We just met not long ago, this..." "Isn't it okay if you just met? Some have been together for a long time but don't trust each other. We only met once but hit it off right away. Please believe me! Please entrust me with the task of finding your husband's whereabouts!" Omachi sincerely Said in a pleading tone. "Thank you so much for worrying about me. As long as it doesn't cause you extra trouble, please help me find it!" "No trouble at all. I will do what I can. Shall we go and find your husband?" Omachi stretched out his hand consciously, and Kumiko followed suit.The two hands were tightly held together.She had no doubt why Omachi would tell her the kind words, she already trusted him completely. Omachi's hand strengthened its grip.Kumiko shook his thick hand in panic, feeling guilty for working closely with another man in the name of finding a husband. Kumiko has realized that under this name, her love for Omachi can only grow more and more.Faced with this terrible infatuation, not only is she powerless to stop it, but she can only let it be and be at its will.
