first quarter There is no more sentimental scene in the world than Tokyo Tower in the rain. Kojima Toru, who was wearing a white shirt and boxer pants, was thinking while drinking instant coffee. For some reason, whenever I looked at the Tokyo Tower in the rain since I was a child, I felt an inexplicable feeling of sadness, as if my chest was blocked by something. There is an apartment on a lawn-covered rise where Toh has lived since he was a child. "Although there is no need to worry about money, but I always live with my mother, is it annoying?" Not long ago, Geng Er asked himself this question.

"But you may think it's nothing, after all, mother is not a mother in the ordinary sense." I and Koji are high school classmates.The school they attended was one of the few key high schools in the city, and both of them had very good grades.However, this is probably the only thing the two have in common. Four p.m.Shishi should call.Tou thought so.Since when did I expect her to call so much? When Tou said that he wanted to buy a mobile phone, Shi Shi frowned. "Don't buy it. How frivolous it feels." She said that, but she had a cell phone. Shishi's mobile phone is tied with a ribbon, blue, as cold as the night sky.

"You made it up yourself?" Tou once asked about the history of poetry.She replied no, the girl in the store made it up.Her store is in Daikanyama, which is a bit weird, with furniture, clothing, and even tableware in it.I heard Shi Shi said that it is a selected store.On a recent visit there, I was surprised to see collars and utensils for puppies.And, even more surprising, those things are expensive.Everything in the epic shop is like that.Thinking through my heart.Epic has everything - money, his own store, and a husband. Four fifteen.The phone has not rang yet.Toru casually drank his already lukewarm coffee.He likes to drink instant coffee.Because he thinks instant coffee is more suitable for him than drip coffee, it has a light fragrance and is easy to brew.

Simplicity is the most important thing. Toh was born in March 1980. When he was in elementary school, his parents divorced.Since then, Toh has been living with his mother. Getting acquainted with the history of poetry was also introduced by my mother. "is my friend." This is how my mother introduced the history of poetry to Tou.That happened two years ago when Tou was 17 years old. Shi Shi has a slender figure and thick hair, wearing a white shirt on his upper body and a navy blue skirt on his lower body. "Hello." Shi Shi's eyes and mouth are big, and the shape of his face makes Tou feel exotic.

"I didn't expect you, Yoko, to have such a big son." Shi Shi looked at Tou and said, "Watching him is like listening to music." Tou didn't understand what she meant at the time, but it was inconvenient to ask. "High school student?" "Ok." Tou remembered that he sounded angry when he answered. The life in the second year of university is too boring. Recently, Tou didn't go to class much.The annoying thing is that among the teachers in the class, the class of the teacher who constantly checks the attendance is the least interesting.Toru turned on the stereo, and while looking at the houses and Tokyo Tower in the rain outside the glass window, he quietly listened to the sweet and brisk melody that came immediately.

Why do girls in college look so dull?Through the screen window, Geng Er thought sadly while listening to the sound of raindrops falling on the ground outside.Their bodies are not attractive at all.Either thin as a matchstick, or fat as a ball, one or the other, really unbearable. Speaking of which, Yuri, who I met at a friend gathering last year, was not bad, and Kouji still keeps in touch with her.She is smart, probably due to frequent swimming, and has a pretty good body curve. "I'm so hungry!" Hashimoto, who was lying there watching TV, said, "Is there any bowl of noodles?"

"No." Geng Er replied, and then added: "There is plenty of rice." He will often steam large quantities of rice to keep in the fridge. "Why are you hungry at this time? Extra meals will make you fat." Geng Er said nothing, he stood up and made a bowl of fried rice for this weird friend who only liked to watch opera.I also thawed the frozen chicken broth and served it. "Very diligent!" Hashimoto seemed to admire him very much. "so so." Koji finished speaking and lit a cigarette. Toru is the one who tells himself that older women are attractive.Tou was Geng Er's good friend in high school, and the only friend he looked up to at that time.You must know that at that time, Geng Er almost looked down on anyone.

"Aren't you going?" Kouji asked Hashimoto who was watching TV while eating fried rice. "Don't go." "Oh, yeah." Kouji liked the fact that Hashimoto was careless. He changed his clothes, put on his hair, and put on his watch. "Then I went to work." After finishing speaking, Koji put down the key and went out.He took an umbrella casually, and one of the ribs was bent. Koji now lives a part-time job-centered life.School classes are still required, of course, but he works almost every day, including weekend nights.Both of Geng Er's parents are still alive, and they also provided him with ample living expenses. It should be said that his student life is quite rich.But even so, in Geng Er's opinion, more pocket money is better, not to mention that his income as a waiter in the pool court is quite a lot of money, and it is very easy.

This summer, he met a woman when he was working as a lifeguard in the swimming pool, and had two good memories. In his opinion, working part-time is really fun.Part-time jobs can be found everywhere if you look for them.Recycling residents' opinion questionnaires on paving projects, washing dishes, being a nude model for second-rate painters...the list goes on and on. Geng Er felt that the income from that job was quite a lot.At that time, the painter stopped himself on the road and said that if he could come to his house, he would give 10,000 yen an hour.It was a thin old man who lived near Kichijoji.The old man painted a lot of sketches, and Koji earned a full three hundred and sixty thousand yen, but he just sat there with his knees crossed.Best of all, the old man was a carnivore and would treat himself to steak now and then.

November.On the tram to work, Geng Er always sleeps for half an hour.No matter where you are, you can fall asleep anywhere, but Geng Two's forte.What's more, he was able to wake up in time when he was about to get off the car.Koji has full confidence in his body, not to mention his mind. His academic performance has always been very good, and he was admitted to the National University without much effort.However, that's not the problem. "You have to decide your own affairs." "Once a decision is made, it must be acted upon." In the process of growing up, Koji was always taught by his father.

"A good brain equals the ability to act." Koji recognized this principle. Dinner is usually eaten in the staff lounge.There is a western restaurant in this building, which belongs to the same company as the billiard court, and it provides takeaway service.There are usually six employees in the billiards court, regardless of gender, they all wear uniforms-white shirts and black trousers.When Yuri saw the uniform, she kept praising it for its fit.However, it was precisely for this reason that Koji began to doubt Yuri's vision.Because he always believes that jeans are more suitable for him. Kou Er pressed down the time card and handed in the shift with the staff in charge of the day.Outside the window, the neon lights of the building opposite kept flickering in the rain, making it even more eye-catching. It was already past five o'clock when the call from Shishi was received. "Sorry to keep you waiting." The history of poetry said softly, "Can you come out?" Shi Shi's voice on the phone always seemed a little uneasy. "can." Tou answered immediately. "Great!" The history of poetry was overjoyed and said, "Then let's meet at 'Raphne'." After speaking, he hung up the phone. Holding the receiver in his hand, Tou looked like he was still thinking about it, and really didn't want her to hang up so soon. "I have a kind of soap box here, which is especially suitable for you." Shi Shi said to himself when they met for the first time. "Soap?" "Yeah. I bought it from the UK, and I've always thought it was especially suitable for men. Although our customers are mostly women, I decided to put it on the shelf. I hope someone can give it to men as a gift." Fellow countrymen. It suits you well." The post office delivered the soap a few days later.It is creamy white, oval in shape, and has a pear flavor. The door of "Raphne" is big and heavy, and the inside is long and narrow, with the bar on the right.When Tou walked in, Shi Shi was already sitting there drinking vodka.She likes to drink less alcohol. "good evening!" Shishi half turned his chair to greet Koji.She was wearing a white chunky sweater and gray shorts. "It's always raining and it's annoying." Shi Shi said and turned back to the chair.Tou sat down next to Shi Shi and ordered beer. "Are you ok?" It has been two weeks since Tou has seen the history of poetry.But he still looked ahead and replied, "fine." He wants to feel the presence of this woman beside him with all his heart. For a period of time after receiving the soap, Tou never received a call from Shi Shi. "Is Yoko at home?" If Mom had been home when she called her that day, maybe she wouldn't be with her like this now. "Say something." Said the history of poetry.On her slightly thin wrist is a luxurious Rolex watch. "Say what?" "Anything. Things at school, the book you've been reading, and whatever you're thinking about right now...." Take a sip of beer, "The things in school, I think graduation should be fine." "Then there are places behind the campus where burnet grows." "Burnet? You like it?" "Well, let it be. When I saw it the other day, they were dry." "Is the campus in your university large?" "It's not too big." After speaking, Toh added, "But it's still much bigger than when I was in high school." "Is it." Shi Shi said, casually looking at the wine cabinet filled with all kinds of wine. "Books, I haven't read much recently." Tou said honestly, "Things I'm thinking about right now..." Tou said in his heart: I just want to sleep with you. "What are you thinking about?" Shi Shi turned her face, the makeup on her face was very natural. "I do not know either." The history of poetry smiled, "There used to be a lot of hydrangeas blooming behind the schoolyard when I was in elementary school." "Elementary school? It's too far away from now." Shi Shi lowered his head slightly, gently touching the ice cubes in the glass with his fingertips. "I can't remember what kind of plants there were on the campus when I was in college. It's really strange." "Is it because you didn't walk by alone?" Toh replied that he was suddenly aware of the jealousy in his voice and felt a little overwhelmed.But the history of poetry didn't seem to notice, just admitted it frankly. "Well, maybe." The two ordered another glass of wine and drank silently. Tou thought in his heart, was that call really to his mother? "Ah, it's a pity. I'm nearby now, and I plan to let her out to sit and have a drink." She was disappointed to hear that her mother was not at home. "If you are asked to come out to accompany me, your mother will be angry, right?" "I don't think so." After hearing this, Shi Shi said the name and location of the bar, and then asked as if suddenly remembering, "Oh, by the way, can you drink?" Tohru misses Shishi very much when he speaks in honorific terms. When I met Shi Shi at that time, Tou had never had a girlfriend, and Shi Shi was already married.She has no children yet, but has her own store and freedom. He really didn't expect that the matter between himself and the history of poetry actually made Geng Er excited. "Not bad! Yours is still an adult!" Koji said excitedly, "It's okay to let people play, don't seek death after being dumped!" "People are only interested in your young body!" That was the time when "compensated dating" -- high school girls making friends in exchange for financial assistance -- was in vogue.There are still relatively few girls in Tou's high school, and most of them are very traditional.But even so, you can still meet many female high school students. Although their legs are terribly thick, they still wear miniskirts and stockings, walking on the street with confidence. "It's unbelievable!" Koji slung his khaki backpack over his shoulder, muttering as he walked through the ticket machine, "There really is a silly old man who was deceived by them!" Then, Kouji, who likes to swear at every turn, sighed and said, "I really want to meet a woman older than me!" Of course, there is no money transaction between himself and Shishi.Koji's comparison of himself with those high school girls is really disconcerting, but because these things really don't fit together, Toru doesn't feel offended. No one can understand the matter between Shi Shi and himself. "How is Yoshida's mother?" Thinking about it now, when Geng Er asked this question, he should have stopped him immediately. "Not bad! People are also pretty." The reason why I said that at the time was because I didn't believe that something would really happen between Koji and his classmate's mother. Now, Tou had to admit that he really underestimated Koji's bizarre mobility at that time. two years ago. From then on, my life began to solidify like jelly.Slowly, silently, like a tasteless jelly.As for the matter of Geng Er, I have no time to bother... "It's great to see you!" The epic drank up the vodka. "Next time, let's have a meal together and stay a little longer." Shi Shi said with a smile after paying the bill. She jumped off the stool, looked at her watch, and said softly, "I don't know if it will stop raining." "yes." seven thirty.Tou quickly concluded that she must have a date with her husband at a restaurant at eight o'clock. "I'll call you." After Shi Shi finished speaking, he walked out of the bar quickly. I thought I could have dinner with her. There is still a lot of beer left, and Toru has no mood to drink anymore.He looked around aimlessly, and the words "Grilled Steak Sandwich" on the blackboard on the wall suddenly made him feel a little hungry. When did it start?Since when did I accidentally enter the state of not thinking about eating and drinking. There are more people in the bar.Flower arrangements in giant vases mock Toru who is alone.
