Chapter 13 Section Thirteen

Section Thirteen The summer vacation has just begun, and this summer vacation is the hottest in Koji's memory.So far, the relationship between myself and Yuri has been going smoothly.In addition to part-time work, I also accepted a job as a class party secretary, so this summer vacation has become extraordinarily busy.But I am busy, and my preparations for employment have also had a satisfactory start.It should be said that everything is in place now, and the development trend in all aspects is good. For three nights in a row, Geng Er went out with his father to treat guests for dinner.

The medical center where Dad works is very famous, and it is recognized as an excellent place to consult famous doctors about health problems. The members are all business people, celebrities and rich people.Geng Er's father is an important town in the medical center, and quite politically minded, so when Geng Er was looking for a job, he naturally made a good first step. Geng Er decided that if he wanted to work in an enterprise, he must choose a large enterprise. He knew that there was a certain strength in employment that was more important than academic performance. "My son has a bright future."

Dad's friends all praised Geng Er."You are more enterprising than other young people, you have a bright future", etc. Of course, Koji will not be carried away by the polite words he heard in the private rooms of the hotel or in the member-only western restaurant, but he is recognized by the elders In this regard, he has always been very confident. Those who are most interested in Geng Er are some leaders of foreign-funded enterprises. When they parted, they would hold Geng Er's hand firmly with one hand, and gently pat Geng Er's shoulder with the other hand to boast, "Nice lad!"

"It will definitely surpass your father!" I heard that foreign-funded enterprises are easy to ask for leave, which is very attractive to Geng Er. In addition, as long as he does not get fired, his salary seems to rise very quickly. What makes people uncomfortable is the group of old men in the trading company. They always say meaningfully, "Well, it's good to be aggressive..." "Work hard!" During the time spent at home, Geng Er's pace of life slowed down significantly.He began to miss Yuri and Kimiko a little, so he decided to go back to the apartment tomorrow.

When Toru arrived home from Karuizawa, his mother was making coffee in her pajamas.The weather is very sunny today. "I am back." Greetings to mother, "Why so fast?" Mom looked back and forth and said. It was just after one o'clock in the afternoon.Tou was very annoyed, and didn't want to talk to her mother, so she walked into her room alone. Sitting on the Shinkansen back home, I felt alienated from my surroundings, as if I didn’t exist, and the people around me couldn’t see me either.The sunlight, the platform, and the surrounding noise all seem to exist in another world.Tou felt alone, he had no time to understand and grasp what was going on around him.The whole way home, Tou was in a trance state.

Asano didn't ask his wife anything about "friends".The sheet with the wine glass on it, the naked wife...all the traces left in his house seemed to have no existence for Asano. The history of poetry did not make any cover-ups, and remained calm.It was as if no one was hiding at all. When he looked through the window, the two of them were no different from ordinary couples—a harmonious couple who came to the villa together for vacation. "Luggage? No need." When Shishi said this yesterday, he felt that both of them had become free agents, but the obvious fact was that Shishi's luggage was packed by his husband.

"I hate the guy who plays golf the most." The history of poetry also said so, but at the time there were two golf bags in front of him.Toru couldn't believe that Shishi and Asano were playing golf right now. After a few knocks, the door was pushed open. "Geng Er called you last night." Mom stood there with a coffee cup and said, "Let you call him back when you get back." Tou said I know.But my mother still had no intention of leaving, and then asked, "what?" "I didn't want to talk too much..." Mom's voice—especially the morning after drinking—was a little hoarse,

"But you have to know that everything should be done in moderation." "what are you talking about!" Tou, who hadn't been angry at ordinary times, exploded all of a sudden.He was so bored that Mom didn't answer directly, "What? Didn't I ask you?" When Tou was angry, his voice sounded like a child's.This is also one of the reasons why Tou is usually reluctant to get angry. "Don't you know—!" "It's because I don't know that I asked you." mother replied. Tou didn't want to think about what her mother was thinking, but felt that she was taking too much control and wanted her to leave quickly.

Mom sighed and said, "Why do you lose your temper at every turn? Like a child." I can't speak anymore. "What's for lunch?" Tou said he didn't want to eat. I'm in a bad mood.What happened in Karuizawa is like a dream when I think about it now. I haven't seen Yuri for a long time. Today she is wearing a skirt suit with lantern sleeves. "It's so beautiful!" Yuri was very happy to hear Koji's compliment.At two o'clock in the afternoon, when Yuri returned to the apartment after drinking the iced tea, there was still an hour and a half before working time.Geng Er is very satisfied, time is fair to everyone, 24 hours a day, no more and no less, the key is to manage it efficiently.

Yuri has a straw in his mouth, and his fair and tender cheeks are bulging. Kouji especially likes Yuri's clean, white and tender skin.Kimiko's cheeks are thin, while Yuri's are round.In Koji's eyes, Yuri's round, white and tender cheeks are so noble, and he is determined to keep this noble face away from misfortune and be happy forever. "You'd better not go to 'Mmm Old Man'." After Koji told Yuri about the three-day dinner party, Yuri suggested, "If the company can't find your value, you're not too talented." Yuri is the best at giving people nicknames.The executive director of the trading company always liked to say "um" when he spoke, so Yuri gave him this nickname.

"I even patted you on the shoulder and praised you. You can tell it's polite words when you hear it." Said by flicking the ice cubes in the iced tea with a straw.Koji thought Yuri's words were generally harmless, but they didn't do much either.He lit a cigarette and smoked. I have to break up with Himiko this summer.During the few days he stayed with his parents, Koji made such a decision.He must take action before Simiko completely loses his mind and before he is tossed into a mess by her. "The weather is really nice today." Yuri said cheerfully.The iced tea was almost finished, and Geng Er anxiously wanted her to take off the lantern-sleeve dress. On the way back to the apartment, Yuri told Koji that he went to a live concert with his friends.That friend of hers only knows how to judge a person by appearance, not by strength.Those singers who are famous for their looks are not handsome at all in Yuri's eyes. In Yuri's words, they are just "childish sons and daughters". Koji doesn't care about the content of Yuri's words, he just likes being with Yuri, especially when Yuri puts his arm on his arm and rubs his nose against his shoulder and says "I think you are handsome", He felt that Yuri was even more cute. The situation when meeting Kimiko is quite different from the situation when meeting Yuri. At Kimiko's request, Koji had to take her to his apartment.But it's also his own apartment, when Kimiko is there, it always feels like a place like an unscrupulous love hotel.Geng Er thought to himself that having such thoughts about the woman he likes (should be) probably means that the relationship between the two is almost done. Kimiko was in a bad mood at first.After entering the house, he first scanned the room like an inspection, and then said, "It's a young man's room after all!" "Do you clean the room and do the laundry yourself?" Koji replied that of course he did it himself, and it was true, but Kimiko didn't seem to believe it. "Would you like something to drink?" Koji asked.Kimiko ordered black tea. Koji poured water into the kettle, and then took tea from the tea box "for Yuri". "I'm pretty busy too..." Kimiko said, "I usually have to study, I can't let go of housework, and I have to talk to my mother-in-law often. There are too many things to be busy..." Koji didn't understand what she meant, "What's the matter?" He arranged the tea leaves and tea bowls and asked casually, "So I thought..." Hysterical laughter mingled with Kimiko's voice, "...Let's just end the relationship." Koji was taken aback.He looked back at Kimiko, who smiled slightly, "End the relationship?" Geng Er couldn't believe his ears, "I mean, you're quite busy too. Since both of us are so busy, there's no need to push on like this." Not good, Geng Er said to himself.Kimiko got angry.Although she still doesn't know why she got angry, it is an unavoidable reality that she is getting angry now. "I hope you can continue this way of life. However, I think you can, after all, you are a cold-blooded animal. Well, you can definitely." Kimiko couldn't help herself anymore. "I've called you countless times. It's fine if you're really not here. But you don't answer the phone during the day and night, and I'm worried that something happened to you..." Kimiko choked up, but she didn't cry, she just tried not to speak anymore. "Sorry." Koji apologized and said, "Just leave a message on the phone and I'll call you back soon." "Why are you so stupid!" Kimiko interrupted Kouji's words, "Who would do that? What if your girlfriend, or mom, or some other woman hears about it?" This time it was Koji's turn to interrupt Kimiko, and he couldn't let Kimiko continue talking.Koji blocked Kimiko's mouth with her lips, but Kimiko struggled with all her strength to push Koji away, took a step back, stared at Koji and said again, "Why are you so stupid!" The two stood there staring at each other, and finally, Kimiko rested her head on Kouji. "What a worry!" Himiko's voice wasn't very sweet in itself, but there was a hint of anger mixed in at the moment.Kouji embraced Kimiko with his left hand, then freed his right hand to go around behind her, and turned off the gas stove.The water in the kettle has been boiling for a long time, and it has been steaming.Koji hugged Kimiko and moved towards the bed, apologizing to Kimiko repeatedly as he walked.Kouji himself didn't realize that he almost interleaved apologizing and kissing. After moving to the bedside, Kouji pressed Kimiko on the bed and stroked her thin cheek with one hand. Although it has been decided to break up with Kimiko, and indeed it has been decided, it seems that today is not the time. Geng Er left a message on the phone again, so he must have called while working part-time or on a date.Tou sat down on the sofa, and then looked out the window.It was already evening, so I opened the "PEACOCK PIE" I found in the bookstore yesterday, and turned to the page "THE SHIP OF RIO". The history of poetry is still in Karuizawa. After that incident, how did she live with Asano? There seemed to be a tacit understanding between the husband and wife, and Tou, who was hiding in the bathroom, was obviously ignored.His presence or absence doesn't matter at all, as if he's just an insignificant, insignificant character. "I'm so happy today." Shi Shi said to himself before going downstairs.After finishing speaking, he went to Asano's place as if nothing happened. Toru really couldn't understand them. The relationship between. Toru lay down on his back, closed his eyes, and wanted to recall Karuizawa before Asano came, and to re-experience all the feelings there. However, no matter how Toru tossed and turned and tried hard to remember, he still couldn't remember the feeling when he was in Karuizawa. Neither the music I listened to nor the books I read with Shi Shi could calm Tou down.He stood up irritably and went to the kitchen for a while, but came back empty-handed and sat down on the sofa.The air conditioner in the room was too strong, which made people feel a little chilly.Tou envied Geng Er very much, envied that he had places to go and things to do. After six o'clock, it was completely dark outside the window.In the distance, Tokyo Tower stands quietly. After the phone rang twice, Toh picked up the receiver. "Is it Tou?" Koji, wearing a white shirt and black trousers uniform as usual, called Toru from the lounge, "Finally I find you." Tou smiled wryly, "It should be you who are hard to find, right? I have called you several times, but you are always away." "I'm sorry. I'm going back to my parents. Do you know that our class is going to have a party? I'm working now, so I'll only tell you the important ones. The party is scheduled for next Friday at six o'clock in the evening. Can you come? I'll show you the map It was sent to you. Uchida seems to be coming too. You may not know that I am now the organization secretary of our class party. They suddenly called me and insisted that I be the one. Oh, there is no other way, so I had to be stubborn The scalp is dry. I'll call you later. Oh, yes, Yuri troubled you a while ago. Well, she was very happy when she came back. Okay, hang up. Huh? Oh, it's fine, how about you I won’t ask Poetry History, anyway, you won’t tell Poetry History anyway. Remember, next Friday, see you then. This time I hang up.” Koji finished speaking and hung up the phone.In the lounge, I heard the noise outside. It turned out that a group of students came.Koji straightened his hair in front of the mirror. "What a worry!" After having a good time during the day, Kimiko said it again. "Just the thought of what might have happened to you makes me tremble with fear." Kimiko looked much petite than usual, and looked a little pitiful.She rested her head on Geng Er's shoulder, and her body was tightly attached to Geng Er's body. "It's impossible for you to know. Desire is incomprehensible to young people." "desire?" Geng Er said as he folded his body and brushed away the hair hanging from his face.Kimiko tilted her chin with a happy smile. "You're only thirty-five years old, comrade, and you're full of words about young people." Geng Er laughed. Kimiko chuckled.She opened her eyes and looked at Koji quietly, "It is absolutely impossible for you to understand the desires of a thirty-five-year-old woman." The way Kimiko spoke made people want to laugh, but at the same time, Kouji was startled. "In terms of desire, I am by no means inferior to you." As Koji spoke, he pressed on Himiko again, but the feeling just now couldn't be lingered.Himiko is not easy to deal with, this I have felt faintly before, but now it has become a fact. "Good morning." The migrant worker came in and said hello to Geng Er, "Good morning." Geng Er replied. Restrooms, ashtrays, trash cans, closets, flashing neon lights outside the windows….On the table was the leftover fried chicken that someone had eaten, and the whole room was filled with the smell of fried chicken. Koji withdrew his thoughts and walked towards the noisy billiard hall.
