Section 18 Since I was a child, the glass in my house has been cleaned by Toulai.During the summer vacation or the end of the year, his mother would always ask him to clean the glass, even if he didn't want to.After entering high school, Tou gradually developed a habit. Even if his mother didn't tell him, he would take the initiative to wipe the glass clean.Because he will feel uncomfortable when he sees the glass is dirty.Get used to it, the glass at home has been as bright as a mirror for several years, I don't know if my mother noticed it. One night in summer, through the freshly cleaned glass window, I looked at the Tokyo Tower in the distance.There is still air in the house

Smell of new agent—something like lemon, but not quite. For Tou, everything was new in the days when he first came to know the history of poetry.Dating a beautiful woman who is older than me is like this, Shishi hardly takes a tram like this, the people Shishi introduces to himself on various occasions is like this, wine, food, music are like this, Shishi couples are very interesting The same is true of my living space—there is actually a statue of Guanyin in the living room….For Tou, all of these are so fresh and amazing, he can only try to open his eyes wide, to observe and comprehend the world constantly unfolding in front of his eyes.

Tou smiled wryly.Perhaps in the eyes of people around Shishi, he is just a child.Even now, I am afraid that the situation will not change in any way, and in fact, there is really nothing I can do. "Then how about you move to our house?" No wonder the history of poetry would say so.I was determined to take over the history of poetry, and I thought I could do it, it was really beyond my control. Too excited now, he took out a can of beer from the refrigerator, and poured himself a drink while looking at the faint sunset glow in the sky.You know, there is no adult who can't drink.

To Tou, the history of poetry is everything, and he doesn't care about anything except the history of poetry. It was hopeless. After drinking the beer, Tou drew the curtains and turned on the lights.Immediately, his eyes fell on the phone, as if he had seen the history of poetry. Although everyone around him regarded him as a child, the history of poetry would definitely not.Tou firmly believes in this.When he looked away from the phone, Tou was full of confidence. For him, as long as this point is clear, it is enough.Except for himself and Shishi, it is estimated that no one will know this anymore.

In Toru's mind, the uneasy expression of the always mature and stable Shishi inadvertently appeared, and the momentary hesitation when she deliberately spoke loudly in order to conceal the wavering in her heart... Isn't it enough to just know the history of poetry and oneself?Tou said to himself, at least at this stage, this is enough. Geng Er came to the billiard hall three hours early, plunged into the lounge to write a course paper.It is said that it is a course paper, but it is just a few paragraphs of text excerpted from several books and put together skillfully. Although it will not get an A, it will not be a failure.

The windows in the lounge were half open, but the room was still terribly stuffy.The air conditioner was making a deafening noise, but it didn't work at all, there were half-read weekly manga magazines piled up all over the house, bags of snacks, stuffed dolls that someone got here from the arcade, and never seemed to be washed The sneakers—it must be too stinky, I don’t even want to put them in the closet—and other messy things, probably the staff here are here to work temporarily, and they don’t want to stay here for a long time, so it’s right The mess here is unbelievable. Koji neatly put the course papers into the folder, and then lit a cigarette.If Yoshida came again today, Kou Er thought, then he must let her explain exactly what she meant, and then tell her clearly not to get close to him in the future.

When Koji walked out of the apartment door, he caught a glimpse of the grilled cockroach that Yoshida brought over last night still lying in the trash can, and he guessed that the little animal must be looking at him with resentment. That's not all the annoying thing.This morning Geng Er was woken up again by a phone call from his mother, so he had to bite the bullet and listen to his mother rambling for a long time.Still about my brother.It is said that they finally got back together, but my brother just didn't tell the reason for their quarrel, which made my mother very dissatisfied.

"There's such a big commotion, and you're clamoring for a divorce. Isn't that intentional to make people feel uncomfortable..." It's not without her reason for mother to complain, but in Geng Er's view, it's all mother's own trouble. "It's fine if you don't care about it." Geng Er persuaded, in fact, in the final analysis of this matter, it is the fault of Long Zhi's inability to handle things. The husband and wife quarreling is such a big thing that he insists on getting his mother involved. "No matter what! Early parents were also very worried. They called home to inquire about the situation, but your brother didn't tell us, what should we say..."

In this way, Geng Er had to bite the bullet and listen to his mother's nagging for a full fifteen minutes.Finally, mother said to Geng Er again, "In any case, the couple quarreled, and the more they quarreled, the closer they became. Now the two of them are finally back together. It happens to be Zao Ji's birthday in a few days, so we will decide whether the two families will have a meal together. Busy, you can't hide your face..." For Koji, who has a normal relationship with his brother, it is really troublesome to the extreme. After smoking his cigarette, Koji stood up, went to the mirror and combed his hair with his hands, it was time to go to work.At this time, Geng Er hadn't expected how bad the situation would be tonight.

When about 70% of the billiard tables were filled with customers, Yoshida appeared.Koji was chatting with a customer at the time.That guest was none other than Kouji's favorite third-year high school student Kazumi.Kazumi said she went to Hawaii with her family during the summer vacation, no wonder her complexion became so healthy.This time, Kazumi came with that middle-aged man as usual.However, she didn't play with that man all the time, but sat on a stool alone and drank some oolong tea from time to time. "good evening." Yoshida exchanged greetings and deliberately chose the seat next to Kazumi, even though Kazumi was the only one sitting in the entire billiard hall.

"Geng Er's girlfriend?" Yoshida asked Kazumi directly. Nonsense!Geng Er cursed in his heart.Kazumi immediately shook her head and denied, "no." "Sorry." Koji apologized to Kazumi, and then gave Yoshida a look, which meant that he wanted Yoshida to also apologize to Kazumi, but Yoshida pretended not to see it. "How can you be so rude to customers!" No way, Koji had no choice but to say to Yoshida. "no problem, no problem." Naturally, Hemei sensed that there was something wrong with the air, and hurriedly took the teacup to the middle-aged man. After waiting for no one around, the fire that Geng Er had held back for a long time finally erupted. "What are you talking about, it's so annoying!" Geng Er's tone of voice was very rough, "Go back quickly! Don't be annoying here!" Yoshida said nothing.There was a hint of fear on her face, but her eyes were full of resistance.She looked at Geng Er motionlessly, "What the hell are you trying to do?" I don't know if it was because the voice was low, or because the other party didn't respond, but Koji's originally rough tone sounded a little crying. "Sorry." Yoshida reluctantly apologized. "What's the use of being sorry!" Today, Geng Er is determined not to forgive her. "Give me some rum." Yoshida ignored Kouji, and asked him for a drink with a smile instead. "No! Go back quickly, don't be annoying anymore!" Although Yoshida didn't say a word, he didn't have the slightest intention to leave.Kouji knew that Kazumi was looking worriedly from a distance. "If you want to tell me something, say it quickly! You must have something to tell me, don't you? Don't you think it's annoying to keep pestering people about the past? If you want to I apologize, I will apologize, if you want me to kneel down and apologize, I can also kneel down for you. But you have to know, for me, the past is already over!" A moment of silence. "Nobody bothers you with the past." Yoshida said cynically, "Didn't it mean freedom in love? Why would I pester you with that matter?" "Then what exactly do you want?" Yoshida grinned. "Do you want me to say it? If you say it, you have to guarantee that my wish will come true." Geng Er was startled, "Say it!" Koji was anxious to know what she wanted to do, and had to. "I want you to sleep with me. Just once, and then I won't bother you again, I promise you! Don't worry, I'm fine." Yoshida finished speaking in one breath, then looked at Kouji expectantly. "Are you joking?" Geng Er was really bored, and he was mentally prepared to kneel down, but he didn't expect the result to be so unexpected. "Aren't you too shy?" After Kouji finished speaking, he turned and left the counter.After he replaced the dirty ashtrays in the pool hall one by one, he straightened the scattered pool balls one by one on the pool table, and closed the open windows.When Kouji was doing these things, he always hoped that Yoshida would come to his side.Such a serious girl will definitely not be able to stay there... The chores in the pool hall were quickly done.Some of the staff here wear a small badge on their chest that reads "I will provide you with guidance at any time", and Koji also wears a badge like this on his chest, but basically no guests greet them.Koji looked at the counter, and Yoshida was still sitting there. At this moment, Geng Er was stunned by what he saw, and he stood there motionless. Koji was the first to see Yuri, and Yuri also saw Koji and was waving happily at him.Along with Yuri was Hashimoto, and a girl Koji didn't know—maybe Hashimoto's girlfriend, she nodded slightly. It seemed that the three of them had just entered, and they were standing near the bar next to the entrance. Koji didn't have time to think, and walked straight towards the three of them. As for Yoshida, he simply pretended not to see it. Koji bought three tickets for three people at the ticket office. "Didn't you think so?" "first meet……" Geng Er didn't even bother to listen to what the three of them said to him.With the ticket in his hand, he wanted to lead Yuri and the others to an empty pool table. "why?" Yuri asked suspiciously, "It's the same as in the past, just at the bar. It seems crowded inside." Hashimoto also nodded silly beside him and said that it is fine to stay here, making Geng Ergan anxious and helpless. "It's hard for the three of us to come together. Isn't it good to play ball once in a while? I'll go over to accompany you later..." After hearing Koji's explanation, Yuri became even more puzzled. At this time, Yoshida stood up and walked over with the ticket. "I gotta go." Yoshida said to Kouji, "Thank you." Then I settled the bill in front of three people.Ko'er was covered in sweat, and he didn't dare to look up at Yoshida. "I'll go first. Let you owe me one..." Geng Er couldn't believe his ears.Yoshida's last sentence just verified Yuri's suspicion just now. "who's that?" As soon as Yoshida walked out, Yuri asked impatiently, "Tell me who it is?" It's still raining. Kouji was lying on the bed in his room, and Hashimoto was sitting with his back against the wall, his legs sticking out of the bed. "I don't know. You said before that the woman older than you wouldn't come to the pool hall, and it's impossible to know that you are having trouble with this woman..." Koji said angrily, "Who's having trouble? Forget it." "Besides, it's not you who keep urging me to see her." Hashimoto went on, feeling defensive. "Didn't I say forget it?" Geng Er folded his body, lit a cigarette and smoked. After Yoshida left the night before, Kouji could no longer avoid it, so he had to explain what happened to Yuri—as well as Hashimoto and his girlfriend—as fully as possible. He told Yuri that he had been entangled by Yoshida since he met on the day of the class meeting, because he had been with Yoshida for a while in the past, but the time was not long and the two had stopped dating a long time ago.Of course, Kouji didn't dare to tell Yuri about Yoshida sleeping next to him when he woke up the next morning, and about the matter between him and Atsuko. "Is it." After listening to Koji's explanation, Yuri was still dubious, and then asked, "that's it?" Hashimoto also seemed to realize that he was somewhat responsible, so he should smooth things over, and quickly said, "This girl is really weird." Her girlfriend didn't know what to say, so she could only comfort Kou Er, "It's hard enough for you." But it seems their words didn't make much difference. "If this is the case, why are you so sneaky? Why don't you introduce us openly." Yuli asked. "Isn't she difficult to deal with? If she has a grudge against you..." Hashimoto's girlfriend nodded, thinking that what Koji said seemed to make sense, Hashimoto just listened stupidly, but Yuri was still relentless, "I'm not afraid! I'm going to duel with her!" To duel, alas....Koji muttered helplessly. "Women, I really don't understand..." Hashimoto was also filled with emotion. It's still raining. Shi Shi pushed aside the fried asparagus with egg yolk on the plate, and asked happily, "Tou, tell me something. When does school start?" The glass doors opening onto the fence wall are classic with black frames.Surrounded by the unique aroma of grilled cheese. "School starts the day after tomorrow." Answer through.He was looking at the history of poetry in rapt attention.Although Shi Shi is only wearing a T-shirt and jeans today, it gives people a sense of elegance and luxury, and her side profile is even more fascinating. The white wine is cool and tastes very comfortable. Tou was deeply immersed in happiness, as long as he could sit face to face with the history of poetry like this, he would feel very happy. "I'm reading a novel by Shusaku Endo." Tou talked with the history of poetry, and then talked about "White People", the history of poetry listened quietly, taking a bite from time to time. "It's very interesting. Reading his works often gives me a refreshing feeling. Now I'm reading the book "Samurai"." The two ate a bowl of spaghetti together, and Tou covered all the meat dishes. Every time he is with Shi Shi, Tou feels that every minute and every second spent is as sweet as honey. The history of poetry talked about the Carliere play that I went to see with the girls in the store some time ago. When they were talking, Tou drank black tea, and Shishi chose Italian-style espresso coffee. "I have decided to accept your conditions. We will not live together, but our hearts will always be together." Tou tried to make this sentence sound more calm and sincere. The history of poetry raised his eyebrows when he heard it, "I didn't mention any conditions." "Sorry." Tou hurriedly apologized with a smile, but he was muttering in his heart, of course it is a condition for me-either accept this condition or give up on you. "Also, I came up with a good idea." Tou continued. "good idea?" asked the history of poetry.She lifted the coffee to her lips with one hand, and reached for the cigarette case with the other. "I want to work in your shop." Tou took the cigarette case, smoked a cigarette and handed it to Shishi. Shi Shi suddenly forgot to drink tea and the cigarette in his hand, and just looked back at Tou quietly.
