Chapter 9 Section 8

"Ouch, it hurts!" "Of course it hurts, if you want me to let go, answer quickly!" "I said. Let go!" "Tell me first, what's your father's name?" Tuoshi tugged again, Shisheng's face was distorted. "Mutuo..." "what?" "Kimura Takuya. Kimura is that Kimura, and Takuya is Takumi's Takuya. Well, it's Shiga Naoya's. It's referred to as Mu Taku." "Why the abbreviation?" "I don't know, maybe it's convenient to call it this way." "Yeah." Takumi let go of his hand, "Wait a minute, didn't you say that you have the same surname as Miyamoto? Why did your father become Kimura?"

"I was originally called Tokio Kimura, but I wanted to be called Tokio Miyamoto. There are a lot of inside stories in it." "It seems to be true." Tuoshi sat cross-legged in front of Shisheng. "You cried suddenly just now, and I didn't ask any further. Crying doesn't work this time. Come on, explain the matter clearly." Shi Sheng seemed to feel embarrassed for crying in front of people just now, he smoothed his hair with his hands, and muttered, "I'm making a fool of myself." "Your parents are gone?" "Well, yes." Shi Sheng nodded, "Not in this world, I will never see you again."

"Don't speak in such a queer tone. Dead, isn't it?" "This," Shi Sheng said after a short pause, "yes, passed away. Sick." "Who?" "what?" "Is your father or mother sick and dead? They won't die together, right?" "Well, they didn't die together, but they died one after the other." "Oh? What a misfortune." "They're not my real parents either." "Huh? Really?" "I'm like an orphan, they took me in and raised me up." "Oh." Tuoshi looked at Shisheng's face, "What a coincidence, just like me."

"Yeah, I know. Your real name is Asaoka Takumi, and your biological mother is Sumiko Tojo, right?" Takumi crossed his legs and straightened his back, crossing his hands. "It's just this place that makes people uncomfortable—why do you know everything about me?" "My father told me temporarily that there is only one person in this world who is related to me by blood, and his name is Miyamoto Takumi. He also told a lot about Miyamoto Takumi, his life experience, and so on." "How could your father know about me?" "I don't know about it. It is estimated that he has been investigating for many years."

"What purpose?" "Well, my father just said: 'You go to Miyamoto Takumi after I die.'" "So what if you find it?" "He didn't say it, just said: 'When you meet, you will know what to do.' He died after saying that." Takushi crossed his hands in front of his chest and stared at Shisheng closely.Judging from Shi Sheng's eyes, he doesn't seem to be lying, but his words are too impractical to believe for a while. "Are we related by blood?" "Ok." "What kind of thing? That's boring. The only blood relationship with me is that old woman named Tojo. Don't tell me you have blood relationship with her too?"

"I can't be sure, but I don't think so. My father said that there is only one person in this world who is related to me by blood. If Tojo is added, there will be two?" "That's true, but what your father said may not be all true." "Hmm." Shi Sheng lowered his eyes. Takumi didn't know whether to trust Shisheng or not.He felt uncomfortable hearing that someone in a strange place was investigating him.Suddenly a young man who had never lived before appeared, saying that he was related by blood, which also made him puzzled, and even suspected that this was a trap.But looking at Shi Sheng, he has a somewhat friendly feeling, at least he can think that he has no malice towards him.

"What are you doing now? Going to school?" "Ah, no. It's flexible work." "Flexible work? What the hell is that? I haven't heard of such a job." "It's not the name of the job, but it means constantly changing places and doing odd jobs. It used to be called a freelancer. Don't you know?" "have no idea." "Oh...it's hard to say." "Isn't it just unemployed people?" "Well, to put it simply..." "If you're unemployed, you're unemployed. Why are you pretending to be obscene? Hmph, you're a vagrant at such a young age." As he spoke, Tuoshi suddenly remembered something and scratched his head, "I'm not qualified to say anything about others now."

"I heard from Qianzuru that you seem to be constantly changing jobs?" "It's not that I want to change. How should I put it, I can't find a job that suits me. There must be a job that can make me work hard." "We'll find it soon, for sure." Shi Sheng nodded confidently. "It would be nice if this is the case." Tuoshi wiped his face, feeling pretty good.Whenever he talked about his consideration of work, everyone criticized him for being too optimistic. If he held this kind of concept, he would not be able to do any work for long. "There is no job that suits me", "I have to change myself to adapt to the job" - all I heard were these words, and even Qianhe looked at him with contempt.Shi Sheng was the first to affirm his idea.

"Where is your home?" "Kichijoji...before." "What's the meaning?" "I used to live there until my parents died." "What now?" Shi Sheng shook his head. "There is no home now." "Then where did you sleep before?" "All kinds of places, station waiting rooms, parks and the like." "After a long time of trouble, you have neither a job nor a place to live. You are worse than me." "Haha, you can say that too." "What's so funny? Hey! Since they are related by blood, you should be more wealthy somewhere!"

"Sorry." Shi Sheng lowered his head, his stomach growling. "Not only does he look like Torajiro who wanders around in his private parts, but he is also a poor boy who goes to school without food. It seems that you can't feed you with just a few dumplings." Takumi showed a helpless expression, "But there is really nothing else to eat. If you think about it, you also know that I have no money, do you have any?" Shi Sheng reached out his hand to feel in the pocket of his jeans, and took out a cloth wallet.He turned the wallet upside down, shook it, and out came four hundred-dollar coins and five ten-dollar coins. "There are so many more!"

"Isn't it just four hundred and fifty yuan? What's the money? Well, I'll take care of it for now." "Huh? Why?" "You have no place to live, right? Anyway, this is the only place to sleep tonight, shouldn't I take some rent money from you?" Shi Sheng pouted. "Then give me some." He pointed to the bag containing the bread crust, "The poor man's pizza, I've wanted to try it for a long time." "Before I said it, I didn't take everything you said seriously." Tuoshi said while taking out a poor man's pizza from the toaster. "It smells so good." Shi Sheng sniffed. "What you said is a loophole. I don't know what kind of blood relationship I have with you, and I don't know why your father said those words before he died. The more you think about it, the more strange it becomes." "I want you to believe that." "If you're not talking nonsense, it's Daddy talking nonsense. It's hard to figure out why—well, the pizza's out." Takushi put a dirty plate in front of Shisheng. "You're welcome." Shi Sheng said and started chewing. "Delicious. Kind of like pizza, not quite like it, but it tastes good." His eyes widened. "Eat it if you like it. There are plenty of bread crusts, don't waste the ketchup." Tuoshi smoked Aigu while watching it.There is a blood relationship—perhaps because of hearing this sentence, Takumi always felt that he did not look like a stranger. Shi Sheng stopped suddenly, his eyes fixed on the TV. The "Pink Lady" duo performed singing and dancing, singing "Pink Typhoon." "It's Pink Lady..." Shi Sheng muttered. "What's all the fuss about?" "So young, they were so young too." "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't they rely on their youth?" "I seem to have heard this song somewhere." He thought for a while and said, "By the way, it is "In the Navy" by the village group. Ah, there is a Japanese version." "Hideki Saijo's success was a hit, and they followed suit, and won the big prize with "UFO". Now they are proud of themselves." "According to my memory..." Shi Sheng shook his head and said, "According to my prediction, Pink Lady will break up soon." "Honestly? Candy just broke up." "Honestly?" "It means 'tell the truth', don't you understand?" "No, I understand, I didn't expect you to say that." Shi Sheng blinked his eyes. "Unexplainable guy." Tuoshi reached out and turned off the TV. Shi Sheng finished eating the ketchup-coated crust and clapped his hands. "By the way, what did Qianhe mean just now?" "what?" "She said, 'Why don't you go to your mother's place', probably referring to Ms. Tojo's place." "Oh, this one." Takumi stubbed out the cigarette butt.He hesitated: Should he tell Shi Sheng?If Shi Sheng is an irrelevant person, there is no need. He stood up and pulled out one of the letters on the refrigerator. "It's not that I believe what you just said, but let you see it." "Can... read it?" "Well, read it." Shi Sheng first looked at the back of the envelope. "Tojo Junko, who is it? It's from the Tojo family, I know that." "It's that man's daughter, not her own. She became a stepmother." "Oh, I've heard of it." "Mutuo said that?" "En." Shi Sheng took out the letter paper. The content of the letter was to ask Tuoshi to go there no matter what.Tojo Sumiko is bedridden, and the possibility of recovery is extremely slim.She has always wanted to see her son for the last time, please let her wish come true. After Shi Sheng finished reading the letter, he asked in a hesitant tone, "Do you want to ignore it?" "You won't even order me to go?" "Of course I won't order it, but you'd better go there." "why?" "No reason, don't you think she is too pitiful?" "Poor? Who? That woman? Didn't you hear your dad say, how was I thrown away? Just like kittens and puppies, they were given away because they were troublesome to raise. That kind of woman, I Why do you have to feel sorry for her?" "Your mood is understandable." Shi Sheng turned his attention to the letter paper again, "It may be stated in the letter that the travel expenses and other expenses will be borne by them." "It's not about money." Tuoshi snatched the letter from his hand and put it back on the top of the refrigerator. -------------------------------- Note:
