Section VI The Tokyo Tower in the daytime looks simple, amiable, stable and reliable.Always makes people feel like an amiable uncle.When I was a child on the way to school, Toh always thought so. When I was in elementary school, adults made myself wear short pants every day.The same goes for winter.Thinking about it now, it was really a meaningless habit, but at that time, Toru firmly believed in that set. Tou is an obedient child.He has good grades in drawing and handicrafts, science and social studies, and he still thinks about becoming a scientist in the future.But my mother didn't care about feelings at all, saying that she couldn't be a scientist, but a doctor would be fine.In those days of elementary school, in Tou's eyes, girls were like other animals, and he didn't want to associate with those girls who were surrounded by one place all day long.

It was the same when I was in junior high school.It was only in high school that the boys and girls began to become independent individuals in Tou's eyes. However, in the classroom at that time, Tou had learned to keep a certain distance from others. Toru stood by the window, drinking instant coffee while looking at the Tokyo Tower shrouded in gloomy weather in the distance. "You can look out of the window if you want, but don't stick your head and hands to the glass all the time!" Since childhood, Toh has been scolded by her mother like this.Mom said cleaning the glass was a lot of work.Of course this problem no longer exists.Toru couldn't explain how he learned to keep a certain distance between his body and the glass window.

Tohru prefers to stand here alone than to play outside with his friends.This will always be his constant choice.And it's a lot easier and more comfortable than going to school.Toru felt that maybe he was the one who had been waiting to take him out of here. The person who brought himself out of here——. It's been a while since I've seen Shishi. Perhaps the history of poetry didn't feel anything, Tou thought in his heart.She has her own job, has friends around her, is busy with various social activities all day long, and has her own family.Think about it too, what is the daily life of a forty-year-old woman without seeing her friend's son.

"Yoko and I have been good friends for more than ten years!" I can't remember when the history of poetry said that, "But I didn't know you, what a loss!" She always speaks so directly, and her voice is always so soft and sweet. However, Tou felt that Shishi's statement was not at all reasonable.It should not be the history of poetry that suffers.Is not it?How could the self ten years ago make the history of poetry feel attractive!However, what about the history of poetry ten years ago——. He sighed, unable to continue thinking.The history of poetry at the age of thirty, the history of poetry at the age of twenty, the history of poetry at the age of fifteen...When she was single, when she was a teenage girl....

Although he didn't want to admit it, Tou thought it was unfair and helpless deep down in his heart. time! Why are people always so powerless in front of time!This is really annoying. "It's almost there?" Hashimoto sat on a long chair wrapped in artificial leather in the karaoke box, and said to Kouji after arranging the fried noodles, meatballs, and jam in front of him. "How boring it is to sing alone!" Kouji stopped flipping through the song catalog, raised his head and said to Hashimoto, "That's why I called you here!" "Anyway, you're fine, just stay with me!"

Koji said, and selected a song with the remote control. "You sing too!" He casually advised, "Don't bother eating there." Koji is quite fond of karaoke.Not only Yuli praised him for singing well, but he also believed that his singing voice was enough to touch people's hearts.However, Geng Er didn't come here to show off his singing skills today. "I can't take it anymore!" He quarreled with Kimiko again.Whenever the two of them quarreled, Kimiko would become hysterical and relentlessly scold Koji loudly. "Why are women so easily excited!"

What troubled Kou the most was that he didn't know which sentence he was about to say would make Kimiko angry. "Someone must have excited them." Hashimoto spoke.The song ordered just now had already started, but Ke Geng Er was not in the mood to sing at all, he sat heavily on the bench. The quarrel was caused by the rules he mentioned, and Koji was in Kimiko's car at the time.Sitting in the co-pilot seat drinking Coke, he casually said that the most important thing in a relationship is to follow the rules. "rule?" Kimiko raised her thin eyebrows and asked,

"Is there such a thing as rules in your dictionary?" There was a hint of teasing in her tone of voice. "Of course there is!" Koji replied.The heating of the car was fully turned on. In order to ventilate, the car window was slightly opened, and the cold wind from outside was poured in through the opening just right. "For example, you can't collect money..." As soon as the words came out, Koji immediately felt that Kimiko was a little angry.Now that I think about it, it would have been nice if I could have stopped immediately. "anything else?"

However, when asked by Himiko, Koji continued to say casually, "Never do anything to a woman with children..." A few seconds of silence, an unnatural silence... "That is to say, women without children can do it?" Kimiko's tone of voice sounded horribly hard. "Does that mean I'm a good fit?" Koji wanted to argue, but Ximiko couldn't listen. "Do not make jokes!" Kimiko finally broke out. "Okay——, hurry up and look ahead, it's dangerous!" Koji didn't intend to anger Himiko, so he quickly persuaded him in a low voice.However, Kimiko didn't listen at all.

"Rules? What!" "Just kidding! What is it!" Kimiko repeated angrily, and finally, she pulled the car over to the side of the road and yelled angrily, "Enough! Enough is enough!" It was in Yokohama at the time.Kimiko said that her satchel had been repaired and she was going to get it back.So Geng Er skipped class in the afternoon and went out for a drive with her. "Don't be angry! I'm not talking about you! Don't be angry!" Kimiko ignored Kouji, just put her hands on the steering wheel and sat there motionless, her face tensed, full of anger and disappointment.

"Suddenly it exploded." Koji muttered to Hashimoto.In the end, Koji had no choice but to coax Kimiko out of the car, invited her to a coffee shop for tea, and spent an entire hour trying to make her happy.What a mess.Moreover, Kimiko's slightly distorted face due to anger and disappointment was also deeply imprinted in Kouji's mind. It's been a long time since I've dated, and this time I'm going to listen to piano music again.The weather was so cold that my ears would freeze off, and the snow that had started to fall in the morning had already buried my ankles in the evening. "Snow is so annoying!" Shi Shi took a sip of champagne, frowned and said. Two people are sitting at the bar of the hotel where they are dating. "You hate snow?" Toru likes snowing.He likes the feeling of the whole city changing in an instant, the feeling under his feet when walking on the snow, and the crunching sound of his shoes on the snow. "I hate snow in the city. You like it?" Shi Shi took out a cigarette from his handbag and lit it, and asked doubtfully.She was wearing a coat on the outside and an off-the-shoulder evening dress on the inside.Poetic history rarely walks outside, and usually walks from one heated room to another. "It's dirty when melting snow, it's too bad for the scenery." It was already off-duty time, but apart from him and Shishi, there was only one other table occupied in the bar.Probably because of the weather, Tou subconsciously thought.Most people come and go in a hurry all day long, and the only people who can sit down and drink tea leisurely are people like Shishi.Although the concert hall next to Disneyland is not big, it is very elegant. The hotel next to it is also small and exquisite, giving people a good feeling. Tou has been to Disneyland a few times.I went there once with my now-divorced parents when I was in elementary school, then once when I was in middle school, and then several times with Koji and his girlfriend at the time. All of this seemed so far away to Toru now.What was the reason for going there so many times? "I think Amran is some kind of genius." Shi Shi said while putting a small piece of warm bread coated with an unnamed paste into his mouth. "I've met him a few times. He's usually very cheerful, and sometimes he's as innocent as a big kid." The history of poetry tried to pick a more appropriate term. "But once facing the piano..." Speaking of this, Shi Shi suddenly stopped talking, as if the piano sound had already sounded now. Tou felt that his whole body and mind seemed to be immersed in the piano music.But he knew that it wasn't because the pianist was a genius, but because Shi Shi was listening there with him.It can be said that it is entirely because the history of poetry is letting me listen. "How to put it, his playing sounds like 'digital music'." Shi Shi said intoxicatedly. “It’s so nice to have snow!” On the way to the station, Yuri said excitedly, "If it's colder than usual, we'll be able to stick tighter, right?" As Yuri said, he tightly held Kouji who was wearing a short down jacket. "I heard that Hitomi gets sleepy when it snows, sleeps with her head covered all day, and doesn't seem to even go to school." Yuri's nose was red from the cold, and he spoke happily. Why is this guy always so happy, Koji finds it incredible.Before going to work after class today, he and Yuri had a good time in the apartment.And then the whole way to the station, Yuri kept talking cheerfully. "Ah, I'm hungry!" Even saying you're hungry sounds so happy. "I really want to eat butter bread." Koji had never quarreled with Yuri.First of all, Yuri doesn't get angry like Kimiko, and secondly, in Koji's view, it is not difficult to make Yuri happy.Therefore, being with Yuri can be said to be carefree.Koji bought a ticket for Yuri at the ticket machine, and he showed his commuter pass when he passed the ticket gate. The surroundings were already dark, and the water droplets condensed on the umbrellas were shining brightly against the fluorescent lights on the platform.Now is the time when there are fewer passengers on the up train. Geng Er suddenly realized that he was staring at the back of a middle-aged woman in front of him, and he had always been like this recently.No matter what kind of middle-aged women, they have become pure women in my eyes.Koji even began to wonder if he had some kind of illness. "Geng Er, if you have a chance, you should come to our school cafeteria to have a look. It's absolutely fine!" Yuri was still smiling excitedly. Two days ago, Tou still calmly advised himself to just break up with Himiko.In Geng Er's heart, although Tou is very smart, he is a little dull, like a lump of wood. An announcer's announcement sounded on the platform, and the tram came from the opposite side. "Look, it's all white!" Seeing the tram covered in a thick layer of snow, Yuri screamed excitedly again. The pianist does look like a big kid.According to the history of poetry, he is only in his thirties, but he has already started to bald, and he is also a little fat.Although Tou didn't know exactly what kind of music the "digital music" mentioned by Poetry History was, he was deeply impressed by the action of the pianist striking the keyboard with unbelievable speed and force. human finger. When listening to music with Shi Shi, Tohru feels like a void.Although he is not very interested in music, his body has an endless thirst for music.So Shi Shi and the pianist filled his whole body and mind with beautiful music. After the performance was over, the lights in the venue were turned on, but Tohru was still sitting there intoxicated.Shi Shi stood up first, and she held Tou's hand, and Tou stood up. "really not bad!" The history of poetry said a little excitedly, "Just listening to his music fills you with energy." When the two of them walked outside, the heavy snow was still falling.The snowflakes were caught in the cold wind and blew down on the road one after another. "So comfortable!" As Shi Shi said, he put on the coat that he had been holding all along. "It's a little too hot in the concert hall." Tou saw a notice on the bulletin board that the trains on the Keiyo Line were unavailable, but he didn't take it to heart. Anyway, Shi Shi always took a taxi back. There was already a long queue of taxis at the taxi stand in front of the hotel next to the concert hall, but there was no taxi.Shi Shi frowned slightly. "You know why I hate snow." Shi Shi took out his mobile phone and called the taxi company directly.At this moment, the snow had no intention of stopping at all, looking through the snowflakes flying in front of her eyes, she stood quietly beside Shi Shi like a puppet.Although it is snowing heavily, but when you are in it, you can feel the thick water vapor, and Tou really likes this feeling. "It's really useless!" Shi Shi said and put the phone in his pocket.It seems that a taxi will not be available for a while, and Tou is secretly happy. "Are you going in line?" As Tou said that he was going to turn around and go to the end of the line, Shishi immediately exclaimed, "You're kidding!" "Let's go back first, it's almost freezing here." The two of them turned back to the bar.At this time, the number of people in the bar has increased a lot.People who can't go home temporarily because of the heavy snow simply calm down and spend time here. Shi Shi ordered a glass of vodka, and Tou ordered a glass of whiskey with ice cubes. "Would you like something to eat?" Tou shook his head.He is in a good mood now, because the heavy snow allowed him to stay with Shi Shi for a while longer.He now feels that all the guests in the bar are much more pleasing to the eye than before, and it seems that tonight will be a good night. "Should I call Yoko?" Shi Shi asked with some concerns. "no thanks." Toru's interest was greatly reduced, and he propped his chin on the table with both hands while answering. "Your fingers are beautiful!" The epic smiled and boasted, "It's going to make people jealous." She took a sip of vodka and even said it was delicious. The bar was very warm, and the guests didn't know what they were talking about, and the chaotic voice filled the entire space of the bar. "Give me a cigarette, please?" Tou said.When he was in high school, he also smoked for a while, but because he felt that it was not very good, he stopped unknowingly.But now, for some reason, I suddenly want to smoke one. "OK." Tou took the cigarette and smoked it, but immediately regretted it. He was worried that his posture of holding the cigarette was too nondescript in the history of poetry.However, Poetry History didn't seem to notice Tou's worry at all, she turned to the bar and whispered, "I don't know if there is any room available." empty room?Hearing this sentence, Tou felt his heart beating suddenly. I and Shishi have never stayed together until dawn.Although there were physical relationships with Shi Shi, they were all at night and for a very short time.Therefore, Tou always felt that it was always like a dream. "Every time you come to this kind of time, you will find yourself getting old." Shi Shi sighed while playing with the glass. "what?" Suddenly, Tuo felt that Monk Zhang Er was confused. "If you put it in a young age, it will be more interesting if the scheduled plan is disrupted." Hearing what Shishi said, Tou immediately started thinking about it.I only found it interesting when I was young, so it doesn't mean that I don't find it interesting now.... "I don't know if Amran is home now." Tou touched the ice cube in the whiskey with his finger, and replied casually, "Maybe it's here." After speaking, he suddenly felt that the glass and table in front of him became clear in his eyes.Tou returned to reality. "But……" After saying it, Tou realized that the word might be used too abruptly, but there was no way to undo it, so he had to continue cautiously, "But I don't want you to come home." Toru regretted that he hadn't been able to speak more forcefully. He felt Shishi's hand touch his knee, and quickly but very gently slid over his leg. "That's all I like about you." Shishi looked into Tou's eyes affectionately when he said this.Immediately afterwards, the lips of the two were printed together, so natural and so soft.Tou believes that the two of them kissed each other almost at the same time. Tou knew that just as he was unwilling to be separated, Shishi must also be unwilling to be separated; he hoped that this could go on forever, and Shishi definitely hoped that this moment could become forever. It was a happy kiss. "Is it still snowing?" Shi Shi finished the long kiss and asked softly.Her voice made Toru more convinced that what he felt was right. "Let me go and have a look." Talking, Tou jumped off the high stool, but Shi Shi grabbed his hand, "Wait for me, let's go together." Shi Shi spoke like a child who was about to go out with an adult.She took out the money from her wallet and put it on the table, when the phone rang. "Ok." Shi Shi replied softly.Tou immediately understood that the other party was her husband. "I'm staying in the bar, I'm fine." The history of poetry said "nothing" several times in a row. "Brilliant. What a genius he is! He even re-played a piece at the request of the audience." She responded to the other party, "I'm with Xiao Tou, it's fine." After a while, she asked, "is it okay?" Tou knew Shishi's husband was coming to pick her up. "It's really all right, I'll get a taxi soon." Shi Shi continued to talk to the other party.Tou knew that her husband would definitely come to pick her up.The more scruples Shishi had, the more he insisted on coming to pick him up. "Well then, we'll wait here. Be careful." Shi Shi hung up the phone.Tou didn't have the courage to look at her anymore.
