Chapter 2 second quarter

second quarter Koji, who had been in class for a whole morning, bought a sandwich at the small shop and reimbursed it within five minutes while sitting on the bench in the yard.The weather is fine and it is noon.Geng Er seldom eats at school.Because he felt that if he ate with those idiots, he would also be infected and become stupid. There is no part-time job arranged today, so he decided to meet Yuri after a class in the afternoon, and then go to Toru. After throwing the wrapping paper and cups into the trash can, Kouji went to call the payphone.While the phone was ringing, he lit a cigarette.

"Hello, this is the Kawano family." Kimiko's voice came from the receiver. It sounded very young, making one wonder if she was really thirty-five years old. "Hello? Excuse me, who is it?" There is no need to state your name at all. "Is it Koji?" Kimiko got excited, "Wow, what a beautiful day!" "Where are you?" "In college." Kouji answered while recalling Kimiko's slender legs and slender feet. "Just after lunch, I suddenly want to hear your voice." Geng Er took a puff of cigarette, frowned slightly and exhaled a circle of smoke towards the air.

"Are you kidding me?" Her voice paused deliberately. "Too much. I mean it." Geng Er was very satisfied with his deep and rough voice when he answered. "Can't call you tonight," Koji's tone seemed to be angry, "You never come to see me..." At this time, Hashimoto walked towards Kouji along the road in front of the library.Koji raised a hand as a greeting. "you listen to me," Kimiko said hastily, "I want to see you too. Now I know I'm thinking about you." Geng Er threw away the cigarette butt, then stamped it out with his foot.

"I just found out now?" Hashimoto has already come to the front. "I've been thinking about you all the time!" This is not lying.There was a short silence.Koji knew that Kimiko on the other end of the phone was wavering.He really wanted to see her right away and hug her tightly. "Sorry." Geng Er felt that what he just said was too serious. "Can I call you again later?" Even though it was already November, Koji felt that it was very warm today, and he was already sweating a little while wearing a sweater under the sun. "I was just about to ask if you still call me."

Hearing that Koji laughed, Kimiko also said with a smile. "I'll call you again." Koji finished speaking and hung up the phone.Kimiko's cheerful laughter still echoed in her ears. "I've been thinking about you all the time." Hashimoto quietly imitated Kouji. "Are you kidding for real?" Last Sunday, I found Danish singer Marie Frank's CD at the audio-visual store WAVE. After listening to it, I was very satisfied and bought it.I gave up my plan to buy tapes two days ago.Since this morning, Tou has been playing that CD. What a wonderful day.

Tou suddenly remembered to shine shoes.He hates the layer of floating dust on the leather shoes the most, because it will make the whole person look shabby and wretched. Tou bent down at the dark door, and while she was polishing her leather shoes, she looked at the high-heeled shoes that her mother took off at the door casually.They were a pair of fine crocodile patent leather shoes.Mom came home very late last night, so it was almost noon, and she hadn't left the bedroom door yet. I remember when I was a child, I went to a friend's house and was really shocked when I saw his mother's leather shoes at the door of the friend's house.Because the pair of dark brown low-heeled shoes have been worn and deformed long ago, they are ugly as hell.

At that time, Tou thought: If my mother wore such leather shoes, it would be so sad. Even though my friend's mom is affable, she does look like a typical housewife. Tou's mother is the editor-in-chief of a magazine. Although I don't know how much her salary is, I can be sure that it is quite high.In addition, when I divorced my father, in addition to the current apartment and Tou's parenting expenses—tou paid every six months before going to college, my mother also received a large amount of comfort money. Although his parents divorced because of his father's relationship with men and women, Toh still felt that his father was a little pitiful.

Toh and Dad don't see each other very often.Although Tou doesn't particularly like his father, he can't say that he hates it.Dad is a construction engineer. He opened an architectural design firm with his friends. He is now remarried and has a child.He is not tall, has an open-minded and cheerful personality, and likes fishing very much. When Tou was young, his father used to take him to camp.At that time, my parents had been divorced for almost two years.Because it is summer, there are a lot of mosquitoes and ants (I am most afraid of small bugs), and my legs and feet are also wet from the rain of the previous two days.The makeshift toilets there were small and dirty, and the moment the door was closed after entering, I was so sick that I wanted to vomit.I felt chills all over by the water, and I didn't know where to stutter the grilled fish on a skewer. Even if I chewed it, I felt tasteless.Tou's character is not suitable for the life of camping in the wild.

Tou didn't know what kind of person his father was.When I met my father, I didn't talk to him very much, and my mother seldom mentioned my father to herself.As for his father's new family members, Tohru had only seen them in photographs. Even so, the fact that his father dared to marry his mother and lived together for nine years was enough to impress Tou.What a guy not to be underestimated and who dares to take risks.I don't know whether it is out of admiration for this adventure, or out of an inexplicable comfort, or some kind of sympathy, but Tou always has a kind of respect for his father, of course, it is not respect.

"That's right, you're back?" Someone behind him talked to himself, and when he looked back, his mother was standing there.She is wearing blue western-style pajamas.Although Tou was there long ago, he didn't bother to explain to his mother.Mom's complexion is very bad in the morning, and her hair is messy because she just got up. "Bring me a cup of coffee." Mom said and went into the bathroom.After the bathroom door was closed, there was only the smell of the perfume she often sprayed in the corridor. Penetrated into the kitchen and began to prepare the coffee making equipment.

Today I have made an appointment with Koji to meet at night.Before that, should I go to a class first?Tou weighed the importance of desire and credit in his heart, and finally chose the latter. Yuri puts on her clothes quickly after every job.Although he didn't say it out loud, Kouji always felt a little unhappy. But Koji can think about it.After all, it's not the same thing to keep two people squeezed on your palm-sized single bed, and Yuri's attitude may also be a kind of shyness inherent in girls. "Tomorrow I want to play in your store." Yuri asked Kouji while washing the dishes in front of the sink.Before going to bed, the two ate cake together and drank black tea with lemon slices. "tomorrow?" Kouji jumped out of bed and answered while wearing his underwear, "Okay." It was half past four.Time to go out.I have made an appointment with Tohru to meet at six o'clock.For Kouji, there are three things scheduled to be done today—calling Kimiko, having sex with Yuri, and meeting Toru.Among them, the third thing is the most pleasant.Since I met Tuo during the summer vacation, I haven't seen him again. "Great!" Yuri said happily, "You still tune that for me!" The so-called "store" refers to the billiard court where Koji works part-time, and "that" refers to the cocktail Koji specially made for Yuri—lemon tea. "But don't come alone this time like last time. I can't see you off." "It's fine." After washing the dishes, Yuri deliberately took out her handkerchief and wiped her hands. "Geng Er, you are really worried." What a guy who doesn't know the world, Koji thought to himself but didn't say it out loud.He put on a T-shirt, jeans, and a jacket over it, and all he said was: "I'm leaving." Then he walked out the door. I haven't been to Shibuya for a long time. Because the school is near the Chuo Line, gatherings are usually held in Kichijoji or Shinjuku.Koji always feels uncomfortable with the impetuous and noisy environment here in Shibuya.He crossed the intersection where pedestrians could cross at will, and hurried to the agreed place. He and Yuli broke up at Kichijoji, and she said she was going shopping. "Say hello to your old friend for me." Yuri said when they parted. old friend.I and Toru became close friends when I was a sophomore in high school.Although I can get along with everyone, I always look down on those friends who seem to be brothers with me in my heart.However, Tou is different from himself, he doesn't seem to look down on anyone.It's just that he is very difficult to approach.He often reads alone during his lunch break.read a book!At first, I thought he was just putting on a show to attract the girls' attention.However, girls are absolutely not interested in books, and Kouji himself understands this better than anyone else. Tou lived with his mother. When he went to play at his house for the first time, he was shocked by the extraordinary decorations in his house.how to say?Nothing superfluous.Koji was still living in his own home at the time, and his parents were also rich, but even so, in Koji's mind, homes were messy spaces filled with trivial things.Because Koji's house is like this, everywhere are either father's golf clubs and various trophies, or various cushions embroidered with French embroidery that mother likes. Although Toru is the kind of person who is difficult to approach, he has never rejected himself.It's just that he didn't agree when he was invited to take the motorcycle driver's license test together, and the relationship between the two of them was still very close afterwards.Even when Tou felt awkward being with girls after school, as long as he was invited, he would still come. Koji always thinks that Toru and himself have a lot in common.For example, they are cautious and do not follow the trend. What's more - they all like women who are older than themselves. We are all more suitable for older women.Koji suddenly remembered Kimiko's laughter, and thought to himself, older women are more innocent and lovely. However, there is another fundamental difference, that is, compared with Tou, I have a plan.Koji thought to himself and boarded the elevator. At first it was with Atsuko. Koji always felt as if he had done something bad to Atsuko.Also, Yoshida too. "Papa is so poor." When Yoshida said this to himself, his voice was full of blame.However, what appeared in her eyes was not blame, but pain.It's pure pain and sorrow. No more women with children. Geng Er made a firm decision in his heart at that time. On the third floor, the elevator door opened.Five minutes late.There were not many people in the bar, and Tou sat there alone drinking beer. Geng Er came five minutes late.He pulled the chair with great noise, sat on the seat opposite, and asked: "how have you been?" Then he handed over the menu, "Ah, I'm really hungry. I had some sandwiches for lunch." Koji took the napkin handed over by the waiter and wiped his hands while ordering beer, grilled chicken wings, silken tofu and roast beef. In terms of height, Toru is four centimeters taller than Koji.However, in perspective, Koji can give people a more burly and tall feeling.There is a kind of person who makes it difficult for people to feel his existence, but Geng Er is just the opposite.As long as he appears, it will definitely give people a strong visual impact. "Maybe it's because of the sense of presence." Tou suddenly realized that he was looking at Geng Er, just like looking at his younger brother. "what?" Koji happily drank the beer that was served, and took some side dishes with his chopsticks. "Your size." "Big?" "As soon as you appeared, there was a lot of movement..." Koji felt baffled. "What did you say?" "Okay, okay, don't say anything." Toru really likes Koji unconditionally, absolutely pure love.This liking has nothing to do with Koji's strengths and weaknesses. Like his watch.It is said that he bought the silver Cartier watch with the money he earned as a model.If it is transparent, I will never buy that kind of watch.Not only is it not interesting, but the price is also very expensive. The same is true of the hair conditioner that Koji used frequently in high school.Tou has always felt bad smell. "People and people are probably attracted to each other because of the air." I can't remember when, the history of poetry once said this. "The mutual attraction between people is not because of character and appearance, but the air. It is the air that a person radiates around. I believe that there is such an animal thing." Tou feels that the history of poetry has a kind of animal nature.I can feel a kind of strength and vitality in her that I don't have, and I often don't know what to do. Kouji talked about that "Hashimoto".I often hear him mention this name recently, and it is said that he is an "interesting guy". "This guy is really tired. When he came to play at my place, he knew how to watch TV. He asked him to introduce a girl, but he didn't respond stupidly." It seems that Kouji likes that "Hashimoto". "I'm still not interested in women at the age of nineteen, do you think it's a bit abnormal?" The two of them had almost eaten the dishes they ordered. "But it's not normal to be interested in women like you are." The last two people hesitated whether to ask for two more bowls of noodles. "Hmph..." Geng Er sneered and said: "People who fell in love at the age of seventeen dare to speak of me!" Perhaps in Geng Er's eyes, that was indeed the case.Tou didn't refute. "When will I really want to meet your poet history?" The word "poetic history" spoken by other people seems to have no meaning to Tou, and she does not seem to have any relationship with the poetic history Toh is familiar with. "Find some time." After talking, he called the waiter to order noodles. "I also want." Koji also ordered a bowl of noodles.The two ate in silence. It's cold outside.Although the streets are full of neon lights, the stars in the sky can still be clearly seen.Tou and Geng Er do not have the habit of "second meal".Of course, when there were many people, they would continue to change places endlessly, but for some reason, they never had a "second meal" when it was just the two of them. "We must meet again within this year." Koji said. "OK." When Tou said this, he did agree with Kou Er's proposal, but Ko Er seemed a little dissatisfied with his answer. "It's not interesting." he said aloud, "I want to see you once a month!" Tou could only smile wryly, "Don't you still have to work or something, are you too busy?" Since high school, Koji has been a busy man. "Busy is busy..." Koji did not show any weakness, "There is still time to see each other. Of course there will be time for what I want to do!" Looking at Kou Er's unhesitating energy when speaking, he felt really happy. "I'm free anytime." Tou replied while walking among the crowd, "So any time will do. Tomorrow too." There are many people on the street.People coming home from get off work and school filled the streets.Toru really likes the streets of Shibuya.The history of poetry likes the Qingshan side, but it seems that Shibuya can relax people's mood more. "Aren't you too extreme? You can't do it tomorrow! I really can't spare the time." "I knew it." The wind at night is a little sweet, gently permeating the lungs. It was half past nine when I got home.Mom hasn't come back yet.Drank a glass of water, then took a shower. He suddenly wanted to call Shi Shi.It doesn't matter when the call is made.Shi Shi told Guo Tou that she used a mobile phone, and no one would answer her when she called, and she always turned off the phone when it was inconvenient to make a call. When it is inconvenient to make a phone call.In business, or in sleep, or with her husband? It is said that Shi Shi and her husband drink every night. "Both of us have jobs, so it's hard to spend time together." The history of poetry explained it to itself in this way. "Every meal is different. Besides, I don't like cooking very much." Tou thought of the home of Shi Shi, and he had been there several times.There is a small statue of Guanyin in her living room. "Pretty isn't it?" The statue of Avalokitesvara has four gorgeous arms, which are slightly dark brown against the faint light arranged by Shishi himself.I heard from her that the use of indirect lighting can make the atmosphere more solemn. Maybe Shishi and his husband were drinking in that room, or maybe they were drinking the vodka that Shishi liked while talking about various things that happened in the day.There might be music playing in the background too, Poetry is particularly fond of Billy Joel tunes. Tou simply lay down and fell asleep.Just call again tomorrow.
