Chapter 35 Section 35

Hirasuke seems to have seen this scene in a movie before.Maybe this is an illusion, the male personality hidden in Hirasuke is watching this scene objectively. There are obviously many people coming and going around, but Heisuke only has Naoko and Haruki Soma in his eyes.Maybe the two of them have only one in their eyes.Both Naoko and Haruki Soma stared motionlessly at the face of the middle-aged man who was walking towards them. Hijiki stopped.The three of them form an almost exactly equilateral triangle. "Daddy..." Naoko spoke first, "Why..." This "why" contains more than one question.How do you know that the two of us meet here?why are you here

Hirasuke didn't answer, but stared at the young man's face. "Are you Soma-san?" Haruki Soma moved his lips, trying to say yes, but no sound came out. "Thank you for inviting my daughter on a date on Christmas Eve," Heisuke nodded slightly, then continued to stare at Soma and said, "However, unfortunately, I don't want Sami Nami to date you, let alone Let her date you." Soma's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he turned to look at Naoko. Heisuke also looked at Naoko.Under the gaze of the two men, she lowered her head in silence and bit her lips tightly.

"So, I'm very sorry..." Heisuke came behind Naoko and gently pushed her waist with his hand.She had no intention of resisting at all, and took two steps in the direction of his push. "Wait a minute, please!" Soma called out to Heisuke, "Why, why not?" Hirasuke turned his head to look at the young man.He'd love to explain why to him, but he can't.Even if he explained it, he probably wouldn't be able to understand it, it would only make him feel that Hirasuke was teasing him and make him angry. "Because the world we live in is different." No way, Hirasuke can only say this, "The world my daughter and I live in is completely different from the world you live in, so I can't let you be together."

After Heisuke finished speaking, he continued to push Naoko forward.Naoko's body was as light as air. Heisuke couldn't imagine what kind of eyes Soma Haruki was watching him off.Maybe it was daze, maybe it was anger.He might not have figured out what was going on in front of him.I don't care about that much anymore.Ping Jie knew in his heart that what he should do now was to leave this place as soon as possible. Naoko walked like a sleepwalker, completely unconscious of whether she stopped or walked, but Heisuke kept the same pace.The same is true when taking the tram.Without saying a word, she stared blankly at the diagonally lower part of the seat with her out-of-focus eyes.

When she was about to get out of the car, Hirasuke noticed that she was carrying a paper bag in her hand.You don't need to ask to know what it is used for.She went out more than an hour earlier than the appointed time, and it turned out that she wanted a gift for Haruki Soma. Heisuke took the expressionless Naoko back home.When they opened the door, Kazuko Yoshimoto, the housewife next door, greeted them. Heisuke smiled back at her, but Naoko remained expressionless and didn't even look at Kazuko Yoshimoto.Gibbon and Kazuko looked bewildered. After entering the house, Naoko slowly took off her shoes and walked down the corridor with heavy steps.She walked directly towards the stairs, probably trying to lock herself in the room alone.Hirasuke didn't want to step forward to stop him.He wanted to leave her alone for a while.

When she was approaching the stairs, she stopped, and suddenly raised her head, which had been drooping before. Before Heisuke asked her what was wrong, Naoko threw the satchel and paper bag on the ground and entered the Japanese-style room.She stood in the middle of the room, looking down at the cabinet. Heisuke stood at the door of the Japanese-style room and looked at her, unable to guess what she wanted to do. Naoko went to the cabinet and picked up the entire telephone.The telephone wire was pulled out from the gap between the wall and the combination cabinet.She roughly pushed away the old newspapers stacked on the combination cabinet, and the newspapers were scattered all over the floor.

Heisuke realized what she was going to do.His heart skipped a beat, but he couldn't control his body, he could only stare blankly at her action.He had tomorrow in mind, and it was too late to stop her now. Naoko finally spotted her target, reached into the gap between the wall and the cabinet, and pulled out the cassette player. "What is this..." Naoko asked weakly holding a black machine in her hand.Next, her face gradually distorted.This time, she yelled, "What is this!" Hirasuke didn't know how to answer, but just stood there blankly. Naoko operated the tape recorder.She pressed the rewind button first, and then pressed the play button after the rewind stopped.A telephone recording came through the loudspeaker.

"Hi, I'm Kasahara." "Ah, Yurie? It's me." "Ah, Sami Nami. What's the matter? Call me at this time?" "I need your help with something, can you listen to me?" "What's the matter? Is there something bad going on?" "It's not bad. But it might be bad in the future." Naoko pressed the stop button.Heisuke saw Naoko's hand trembling. "So you did this kind of thing!" Her voice trembled, "When did it start?" "Two weeks..." A mouthful of phlegm stuck in his throat.Ping Jie coughed and said it again: "It started two weeks ago."

Naoko had a bitter expression on her face. "I still find it strange. You have no reason to know what happened today. I never thought you would..." "It's because I care about you." "Can you do this because you care about me?" Naoko threw the tape recorder on the straw mat.The cover was thrown open, and the tapes inside flew out. "I also have my own privacy. Don't you think it's shameful for you to use such... such despicable means?" "Then let me ask you, is it despicable for you to lie to me to meet other men? Isn't it bad? "

"That's because I don't want you to worry too much!" "You sound nice. According to what you say, as long as you don't get discovered, it doesn't matter if you change your mind?" "That's not what I meant. I didn't even think about dating Soma-senpai today. Since you've tapped my phone, you should know, right? He said that if he doesn't see me today, he'll wait forever. I didn't want him to do that, so I decided to go to the meeting place. I planned to give him the gift and come back right away, because I didn't think he would stop if I didn't."

"Isn't it okay to let him wait forever? That way the problem can be solved faster!" "I can't do such a cruel thing, I know that the other party is waiting for me..." "Then why did you get to where you are today? Isn't it because you are very close to that guy? If you don't give him that kind of hint, how could he have such an idea? You shouldn't have talked to him in the first place." "My attitude towards him is very normal. I will agree when he talks to me, and I will answer when he calls me. Is there anything wrong with that?" Naoko's eyes widened in surprise.Her breathing was uneven, as could be seen by the rise and fall of her shoulders. Heisuke stared into her eyes and said: "Remember, you are my wife! Don't look at you now have the appearance of Sami Nami, but you will never escape the fact that you are my wife. Although you hope to use your young body to let Do it all over again, but don't forget, it must be within the scope of my permission!" Naoko squatted down on the straw mat, tears dripping down her cheeks. "I haven't forgotten." "No, I think you have forgotten, and you really want to forget! But I have always regarded myself as your husband, and I have always thought that I cannot betray you. I have never paid attention to it, and I have never considered remarriage. .That Hashimoto teacher when you were in elementary school was not bad? I also liked her very much, and even thought about dating her. But in the end, I didn’t even call her. Do you know why? Because I don’t want to Betrayed you! Because I thought I was your husband!" Heisuke clenched his hands and looked down at Naoko.A heavy silence filled the small Japanese-style room.He thought he heard a strange "whoosh" sound, like the sound of wind passing through a tunnel.It took him a while to notice that it was his own breathing. Naoko stood up, acting like a broken puppet, being lifted up by the thread with a pause.She left the room in silence, and went up the stairs with heavier steps than when she entered the house. Heisuke knelt on the straw mat, and the feeling of emptiness spread in his chest like a dark cloud.He fell into despair where he could neither see the way ahead nor turn back. He picked up the cassette player and tapes, but was never in the mood to put it back together again.He reached behind the cabinet and pulled the wires out of the two-hole adapter. From nowhere came a strange sound, like the sound of a flute.Heisuke pricked up his ears and came to the corridor. The sound came from the second floor.It was not the flute, but the sound of sobbing.
