Nagamura Heitaro stood in front of Wenzi's house in the cold night wind. He had waited like this several times before.When he first got her, waiting like this had been his greatest pleasure.He was immersed in scorching joy at that time. However, once upon a time, joy turned into jealousy like a fire.His home is close at hand, but he doesn't want to go back.He came to Wenzi's house just now, asked her parents, and after getting the reply that Wenzi hadn't come back, he has been standing here. "Could it be that something happened, and I'll stay there for another night. There are many people going together, so it's hard to refuse. Besides, the traffic is very heavy recently, and there are cases where you can't get on the train."

Wenzi's mother looked at Heitaro's face and kept making excuses like this. Of course, Heitaro didn't listen to the old lady's words at all. At that time, he was concentrating on figuring out the reason for Wenzi's late return. It turned out that Heitaro had hung up on the phone to Kyoto at noon today.He felt that this gathering was a bit strange, so he hung up the first Yizhi store in Kyoto that specialized in wholesale brushes based on what Wenzi said about the gathering of avant-garde ink paintings.The idea came to him so suddenly that it surprised even him. The brush shop replied:

"Ah, we haven't heard of such an ink painting meeting. If there is such a meeting, we will definitely hear about it because of the business relationship." Heitaro was furious.Only then did he realize that he had been deceived. He was shaking.Anger shook his whole body, Wenzi made up excuses, and left secretly, no doubt to sleep with a man, and that man must be Ichizawa Yongliang. He considered the approximate scope of a short-term trip that would require a two-night stay.If you are in the vicinity of Tokyo, you can go to Atami, Yugawara, Jiegen, Minamiizu and other places.However, it is impossible to call and check one by one in this range.To call all the first-rate hotels in the area would have required a thousand calls.Besides, the places they go are not necessarily limited to the vicinity of Tokyo, they may also go to Kansai by plane and Shinkansen.

The burning jealousy in his heart intensified. The image of Ishizawa Yusuke and Fumiko in a hotel room full of ugly things unfolded in his mind.The body of the woman he was familiar with was lying in front of another man, allowing him to trample on him wantonly.Thinking of this, Heitaro gritted his teeth with hatred. He decided to check for himself whether the woman was back tonight.If you just go home and sleep like this, that woman will sneak back tomorrow morning, and then brazenly say, I did come back last night.Her parents would also be blindly protective.They will certainly be of the same caliber.

He planned to stand in front of her house forever, no matter if it was two o'clock or three o'clock, he would never give up halfway.He wanted to silence her eloquent mouth with facts himself. Heitaro was holding a small medicine bottle in one hand, which contained a light yellow liquid.The color is the same as the tea brewed from the finest tea leaves. From time to time he rolled up his sleeves and looked at his watch.It was the latest gold-cased Omega watch, bought to show off in front of Atsuko.According to Heitaro's past practice, he would never be so generous.For a long time, he has been wearing a cheap domestic watch.

His Omega watch was reading twelve thirty-five. Heitaro was going to insist on waiting until three o'clock, and there were still two and a half hours.The cold wind was biting, and his legs were numb, but Heitaro's excitement made him feel nothing. Cars with taillights on relentlessly passed by him.He was used to such scenes. It's one o'clock. Although he was wearing a thick leather jacket, his shoulders were starting to feel cold.He had a scarf wrapped around his neck and gloves on his hands, but it was still no protection against the chill around him.He was shivering constantly, and only the fire was burning in his heart.

Another ten minutes passed. The traffic flow with taillights on continued.Suddenly a car briskly leaned towards the side of the road and stopped in front of Wenzi's house. Heitaro quickly hid in the shadow of the tree. The taxi's door opened and the lights in the car came on.There was no one else except Wenzi who got off the car. Wenzi is paying the fare. Her figure moved towards the main entrance of the house.Carrying suitcase in hand. Heitaro jumped out of hiding like a hare. "Hey!" He chased after Wenzi. The woman stopped in surprise.His shoulders trembled. "What have you been doing these days?"

Heitaro yelled at the fair face of the woman who turned around. "What are you talking about?" Wenzi immediately made a counterattack gesture.If Heitaro reproached him in a milder tone instead of in such a tone, she might be able to answer calmly.Suddenly jumped out from the dark, roaring loudly, wishing to swallow people up, who can stand it! Wenzi kept thinking that it was for this man that I tried every means to come back.Without him, I would have been able to spend another night at peace with Ichizawa in the hotel in Hakone.I have worked so hard to come back, but he gave me a blow in the head, it is really unreasonable!

"It can't go on any longer!" She secretly made up her mind. Although this is a question that has been considered many times in the past, it seems to be the first time a decision has been made at this moment. "I decided to break up with you." She said back, "Everything should be over... I have had enough, and now I can't bear it. So I tell you clearly. No matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, it has nothing to do with you, please You forgive me!" She dumped Heitaro and walked to the front door of the house.At this time, the lights in the room were turned on, and her parents must have heard the sound and got up.

"what?" Heitaro growled.In a fit of rage, he couldn't care less.A woman who had done something bad turned around and abused herself, and he was so angry that his head was about to explode. "Okay, you actually betrayed me! Wenzi, what you said about going to the capital was a lie. I did an investigation and found that such an ink painting gathering has never been held!" "Why do you keep pestering me, I hate such men!" Wenzi opened the wooden lattice door of the main entrance and entered the room.Heitaro chased after him, his footsteps shaking the floor.

"It's hard for you to deceive me! This time I will never forgive you...I will completely destroy your beautiful face!" He held up the pill bottle. Hearing this, Wenzi turned around again.In a brief glance, she spotted a pale yellow bottle dangling from Heitaro's hand.Wenzi screamed and ran along the corridor.Heitaro followed closely without taking off his shoes. "Heitaro-kun! Heitaro-kun!" Mother chased from behind like a madman. "Stop! Don't be silly!" Father also wailed from behind, but Heitaro ignored it. A paper door appeared next to it. When Wenzi pulled the paper door, Heitaro had already caught up. "Hey!" Heitaro uncorked the bottle.While Wenzi covered her face with her hands, the liquid in the bottle spilled on her face. "Ah!" She screamed like a bird in the middle of the night, resounding through the whole room.
