Chapter 30 Section IX

It was late at night.On the mountain, the stars seem to be very similar. "It's boring to stay in a daze all the time, let's go dance in the hall below!" Ichisawa Yusuke greeted Fumiko who was staring blankly at the window.There are two beds in the room. This is a newly built luxury hotel on a site much higher than Gora in Hakone.There are plenty of customers here in summer, but the number drops sharply in the off-season.Even so, many people still come to experience the comfort of luxury hotels, and the hotels are quite full. Ichizawa Yuliang put on a short coat over the thin cotton robe and was reading a newspaper.He put the newspaper on the coffee table and stood up.

He was born in the Chinese race, even though he is dressed like this now, he still has a noble temperament.He approached Wenzi who was standing by the window. "What are you looking at?" "The forest on the opposite side. Looking at it like this, it's pitch black, as if the soul has been sucked into the tree." Wenzi's face was almost stuck to the glass.Due to the reflection of indoor light, otherwise, nothing can be seen outside. "Your face seems to be thinking about something." "Is that so? It's a matter of painting if you want to."

"I'm afraid not!" Shi Zeyongliang smiled slightly, "Your expression is different when you think about painting and when you think about other things. After getting along for a long time, you still know this kind of thing." "There is nothing that makes me anxious. I am very happy to be with you like this. It's just that how long this happiness can last is worrying." "You are the reason why the good times don't last long?" "You are so cunning! If there is a reason, it is also on your side." Wenzi said in a strong tone in order to cover up his thoughts, "Because you are a veteran who is very popular in the world of women and willows. I know , there are still two or three geisha who keep in touch with you."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Shi Zeyong said with a bright smile, "Of course it can't be said that there is no relationship. There is at least one person now." "You did some cleaning." "I've been taking care of that person since she was a geisha, and it's not easy to get rid of her now. However, I have to declare, lest you misunderstand. I have no interest in her anymore, in order not to make her hate too much I, I provided her with the funds to do the business." "I shall soon be in the same fate." "Never...well. It's rare to come to such a mountain. Why talk about it? How about it? Is the dance hall below still open? What time is it?"

"It's ten o'clock." "Let's go dance and relax! It's been the third day here, it's really boring." Wenzi accepted his proposal.She hid in a corner of the room, took off her hotel pajamas, and put on a suit.She showed her alluring thighs as she bent down to hang her stockings on the elevator. Ichizawa changed into a suit.This is a habit he has developed after going abroad several times. Even if he goes to a hall with a relaxed atmosphere, he must dress neatly. They took the elevator down to the second floor. There are many foreigners in the hotel.The two walked along the corridor to the entertainment room in the hall.There are ping-pong tables and pool tables along the way, and there are a few people who seem to be invited by some company, just walking back and forth in thin cotton robes.

In the back of the lobby there is a light bar.The band was playing when they entered, but only two couples were dancing.Ichizawa asked Fumiko to go ahead, and sat down on the chair in the middle. They watched people dance and drank whiskey and soda for about twenty minutes.The number of guests in the hall gradually increased.A candle was burning in a red glass cylinder on the table.Although many tables were empty at the beginning, as time went on, fewer and fewer empty tables were available.The people in the band also seemed to come alive.There are four or five couples dancing in the hall.

"It's embarrassing to dance in such a hall." Ichizawa Yongliang talked about his feelings. "why?" "You see, they're all young people. It's a bit of a stage fright for an old man like me." "Oh, it's okay. As easy as dancing in a Tokyo nightclub..." "Oh, let's dance after a drink." Shi Ze drank two or three cups in succession.During this period, he noticed a subtle phenomenon.Wenzi sitting next to him secretly looked at his watch from time to time. Reminiscing of the cloud that had been looming over her face since just now, Shi Ze couldn't help frowning.

"What are you looking at?" Wenzi was startled. "You always miss the time, is there something wrong?" She was silent for a moment, with a look of hesitation, and then said: "Well, would you like to leave the hotel tonight?" She spoke coquettishly. "Leave? Didn't you agree to stay another night tonight?" "That's true, but I always miss home." "What do you miss?" "Last night and the night before the day before, I didn't go home for two nights. I always feel that there are many things waiting to be done, so I can't rest assured. Besides, I just remembered that I made an appointment with someone to deliver the manuscript before noon tomorrow. newspaper."

"Isn't it okay to write here? My sleep won't affect you." "However, I can't settle down here. Besides, even though it's a short article, I still need a reference book." "yes?" "I'm sorry. If it's convenient, let's go back together now, shall we?" "It's only half past ten." "You can go to Tokyo in two hours. Take the bus to Yumoto now, and then take the Oda Express to get there earlier." "Okay. Since you're so worried, go back!" Shi Ze readily agreed. "Really? I'm so happy!"

As she spoke, she took Ichizawa's hand. "Hey, look over there!" He whispered to her, then pointed with his chin. Two tables ahead of them, a Japanese man in a thin padded robe sat with a foreign woman in hotel clothes.While listening to the accompaniment, the two rubbed each other's foreheads without any scruples.After a while, the man put his mouth on the woman's blond-haired ears and kissed gently. "They are a couple!" Wen Zi turned his gaze to ask. "It looks very similar. Although he is Japanese, once he becomes that woman's husband, his behavior will also be Westernized."

Wenzi watched with interest. The two returned to the room after dancing around. "what time is it?" Ichizawa asked while hastily putting things into the suitcase. "It's almost eleven o'clock." "What time is the last Oda Express?" "this……" Shi Zeyongliang hung up the phone to the main service desk. "What? Can't catch up already?" He didn't hang up the phone, just moved the receiver away from his ear, and said to Wenzi who was packing his luggage in a hurry: "It's said that it's too late to catch the last train." "Ouch, that sucks! How about taking the Shinkansen to Odawara?" "yes." Shi Ze asked the service desk about this again. "Or not." He conveyed the reply from the service desk to Wenzi. "It's said that I can't catch the last 'Echo' by car to Odawara now. On the Tokaido Line, there is only one train departing from Odawara at 4:00 in the morning and arriving at Tokyo at 5:30." "Damn it." Wenzi had a troubled look on his face. "There is no other way. Whether you like it or not, you have to stay overnight." Shi Ze put down the receiver and took out a cigarette. Seeing Wen Zi's displeasure, he said, "It seems that you can't wait anyway." After speaking, he laughed loudly. "Ugh……" "If that's the case, I'll be uneasy staying here. Let's go back to Tokyo!" "But there's no train." "by car." "..." "If you go now, because it's nighttime, you can reach Tokyo in two hours. Then, you can get home after one o'clock." "yes." Wenzi immediately beamed with joy. "I'm sorry, let's do this!" "You will never stop until you achieve your goal." "I'm worried. Let's make it up another day, and find time to meet calmly later." "That's all." Shi Ze picked up the microphone again and asked the service desk to call for a taxi. Wenzi was indeed in a state of mind, so it was all right to stay here for another night, maybe it was just a premonition, she always felt that if she stayed for another night, catastrophe would be imminent. Her parents never restrained her actions.No matter how many nights she stayed out, they never made irresponsible remarks.Because they are all dependent on this daughter financially, it is Nagamura Heitaro who makes Wenzi uneasy. She had already greeted Heitaro about this sleepover.At that time, she said that there was a meeting of the ink painting circle in Kyoto, and she wanted to attend it.She said that two nights and three days were scheduled, because it was originally estimated that Ichizawa would be able to return to places like Hakone in two nights.However, this time Shi Ze insisted on extending it for another night.Although she once promised Ichizawa during the day, when she thought of Heitaro's promise, she couldn't help feeling uneasy. Recently, Heitaro's surveillance seems to be stricter, and he always keeps spying on her actions. Before she left, Heitaro repeatedly told her that she must come back after staying out for two nights.Compared with before, he has recently been more and more obsessed with a thought that is almost obsessed. Last time, he had let some hooligan-like people intimidate her. Although it was just to intimidate her, it must be seen that he had lost his reason to a large extent when he did this kind of deed.He thought that Wenzi should return tonight, and he would definitely wait without sleep.If the scheduled time is exceeded, even for one night, he will inevitably be pursued endlessly by him. That would be no ordinary questioning.Seeing Heitaro's lunatic gaze, even Fumiko, who is usually eloquent, would shudder. It was entirely because of Heitaro that she insisted on going back tonight. "We must break up with this man as soon as possible!" At this moment, she realized this more clearly.Although he had considered doing this many times in the past, Heitaro still refused to agree.Because before Wenzi obtained his current status, he provided living expenses, clothing expenses and all expenses including pocket money.He stubbornly regarded himself as a benefactor, flaunting these favors at every turn. However, Heitaro held on to Fumiko not only because he invested capital.As Wenzi's social status increased day by day, he was also ecstatic that he found value in Wenzi that he didn't have.Heitaro's inferiority complex caused by almost no upbringing turned into a strong longing, prompting him to pursue Fumiko even more. Wenzi thought to himself, even at one o'clock in the morning, Heitaro should see that he returned as promised. The main service desk informs the car that it has arrived. "Then let's go!" Ichizawa Yongliang stood up. He hugged Wenzi's shoulders and kissed her lips for a long time. "What a naughty bastard who can't do anything to you!" He let go of Wenzi's face, and said while smiling. Wenzi likes Ichizawa the most at this time.Just because she knew such an extremely narrow-minded man as Nagamura Heitaro, she was even more sincerely grateful for Ichisawa's generosity and generosity.
