Chapter 44 Section 44

In July, an unexpected person came to Heisuke's company. The rainy season in Kyushu is over, and the fine weather continues in Tokyo.Despite the hot weather, the man appeared in the meeting room of Hirasuke's company in a dark blue formal suit. After seeing him for the first time, Hirasuke felt sympathy at first. There is a row of square tables for four people in the living room.The two came to one of them and sat down facing each other. "My mother caused you trouble last winter. She told me to apologize for disturbing you during her busy schedule." Negishi also lowered his neatly trimmed head after finishing speaking.The thirty-seven haircut matched his dark blue suit very well.

"Don't say that. She said a lot of really valuable things to me and made a lot of things come to light." Hearing what Hirasuke said, Wen also seemed embarrassed. "A few years ago, I was so rude to Sugiguchida-san. I rejected you without knowing anything. Please allow me to apologize again." "Where is it. There is no way to do it under that background. After all, you have never heard of anything at that time. It's all right, stop bowing your head and apologizing." Hearing what Heisuke said, Wen Ye finally nodded and said "yes".He took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his brow.

"In addition, my mother asked me to tell you that she got in touch with Kajikawa Masami." "Ah, that's right." Hirasuke told Gungishi Noriko the contact information of Yimei by phone.What happened after that, Hirasuke didn't bother to ask. "What is she doing now?" "I'm learning to cut hair. She seems to be living alone now, but life is not very well-off, so my mother decided to help her." "what……" "This can be regarded as compensation for her." "I see." Heisuke stared at the face of the young man in front of him who had been secretly funded by Yimei's father, and nodded several times.

"However," Pingsuke looked at him again and shook his head, "I really didn't expect you to choose our company." "Really? But I originally wanted to join a company related to cars." "Remember, you were in the Automobile Association at the university, right?" "Yes." Wen also nodded. Hirasuke's company has also started inviting job applicants to visit the company.The science students who came to visit are recommended by various universities, so as long as there are no major problems, they can be settled internally.Presumably, there will be no problem with the text of the postgraduate course that will be finished soon.

"So it's purely accidental," said Hirasuke. "Yeah, there aren't many companies related to cars, that's a fact. But—" Wenya touched his tie with his fingertips and said, "If I hadn't met Mr. Sugita, I probably wouldn't have chosen this company gone." "Really?" Heisuke rubbed his head, "Then I have a great responsibility. Maybe you will regret it later, but you never thought this company would be so bad." After speaking, Heisuke smiled embarrassedly. Wen also said that he will stay in a hotel in Shinjuku today and plans to return to Sapporo tomorrow.After hearing this, Ping Jie invited him to have dinner at home in the evening.

"Huh? Is this convenient? Will it cause you trouble?" "If I find it troublesome, I won't invite you. That's it." "Then, I won't be polite." Wen also sat up straight and replied. The two agreed that when Pingjie was about to leave work, Youwen would call Pingjie.After that, they temporarily separated.Heisuke called home after 5 p.m.Sami Nami has returned.As soon as Heisuke said that he was going to take a guest home, he immediately showed a flustered look on the phone. "You suddenly told me how to prepare? What should I do with the food?"

"Isn't it okay to call it eel rice? Call Nojiro Restaurant and ask for the best, and then order dry roasted eel and eel liver soup." "Is this really all right?" "Yes. It's the room. It takes time to clean it up." After hanging up the phone, Hirasuke thought that the family hadn't had a visitor for many years. When it was time to get off work, Wen also called.The two decided to meet at the bookstore in front of the station. When he came to the bookstore, Hirasuke immediately spotted him.In this season, dark blue formal suits are very prominent.He is buying a map of Tokyo.

"If I can successfully enter the company, I will live in Tokyo from next spring, so I will buy it to preview." Wen also laughed. "In the beginning, do you want to live alone in the dormitory? If you have any difficulties, please feel free to tell me." "Thank you." "If you feel that you can't keep up with your nutrition, you can go to my house for a dental ritual. When you go back later, you have to remember how to get there!" "Okay, I must remember." It was only then that Ping Jie realized that he and Wen Ye were talking more and more casually, which was completely unconscious.For a moment he hesitated what tone to use next, but he decided to go on with it.He thought it was more natural, and Wen didn't seem upset either.

For Wen Ye, the crowding of the full tram was obviously painful.Although the air conditioner in the car worked well, the sweat on his temples never dried up.When he got off the bus at the station, he was already panting with his shoulders. "It seems that the physical strength of Tokyo people is better than that of Sapporo people, absolutely!" He said seriously. When he got home, Heisuke opened the door of the hallway and shouted inside, "Hey, we're back!" Immediately there was the sound of footsteps coming from inside.Sami Nami ran out without even wearing slippers.She was wearing a black T-shirt and an apron.

"Ah, I'm back." "This is Fumiya Negishi I told you on the phone. —— Fumiya, this is my daughter, Sami Nami." "I'm Negishi." After speaking, he lowered his head. "I'm Sami Nami, hello!" She bowed her head in return. After that, the eyes of the two people intertwined in the air, and this state lasted for about two or three seconds, which is when Hirasuke took off his first shoe.When Pingjie took off his second shoe, the two looked away. Heisuke was surprised when he came to the Japanese-style room.The low-legged dining table is already full of dishes, such as salad, fried chicken nuggets, sashimi...

"Did you do it yourself?" Hiroshi asked. "Well, finally a guest came." Saying that, Sami Nami glanced at Wen Ye. "It's amazing! Only in high school, right? It's really admirable!" "Don't look at me so high. If you taste it carefully, I should reveal my secrets." Sai Nami waved her hand. "Okay, come and eat, I'm hungry. Sami Nami, bring the beer!" Heisuke ordered. "Got it." She agreed and went to the kitchen. "That—" Wen Ye said, "Has it always been like this? Haven't you opened it?" Seeing the place he was pointing at, Hirasuke didn't know how to answer.What he was talking about was the shrine, which is no longer open, because there is no object that should be enshrined, at least for Pingjie now. "Ah, that's what you're talking about." Heisuke scratched his head, "Before, I always had a picture of my dead wife, but now... how should I put it, I just find it a bit troublesome..." "I want to offer her a stick of incense, I don't know if it is possible." Wen also looked at the faces of Heisuke and Sami Nami alternately. "Ah, it's not impossible, it's just..." Hirasuke couldn't say anything at this point. At this moment, Sami Nami came to the rescue with a beer bottle in her hand and said, "Of course it's ok, isn't it?" "Um... Ah, yes, it's okay. Um, then, so you want to offer incense to her?" "Please allow me to do that." After Wen Ye finished speaking, he straightened his body. In front of the Buddhist altar that has not been opened for a long time, Wen Ye put his hands together in front of his chest for a long time.The smoke from the incense sticks floats upwards like a thread.Hirasuke knelt beside Wen Ye and waited for him. Wen also finally raised his head, looked at the photo of Naoko in the frame again, and then turned his body to Heisuke and the others. "Please forgive me for making such an unreasonable request." Wen Ye said, "No, no, I see you just put your hands together for a long time." "Well, because there are too many things to apologize for." Wen Ye said with a sigh of relief. "Come on, let's toast." Sami Nami said standing there with a beer. "Congratulations Negishi brother found a job." "Okay, let's toast." Heisuke picked up the wine glass on the table and put it in front of Wen Ye. "Ah, medical major? That's amazing!" Wen Ye said with an exclamation point at the end. "Not yet. I just applied for the exam. I don't know if I can pass the exam." "Ah, no, you are already very good if you dare to apply for the exam, especially girls! Ah, it seems a bit sexist when I say that. But in fact, it is indeed very good!" Wen Ye's articulation was already a little slurred , because he drank a lot of beer. "Brother Wen Ye is still a graduate student of Beixing University of Technology. I think you are really amazing!" "Actually, it's nothing special. Anyone who wants to can do it." "That's not the case. By the way, Brother Wenye is from the Faculty of Engineering, so he must be good at mathematics, right? I don't understand some questions, can I ask you for advice?" "Ah, is it in this state now? I don't know if it can be done. I think it's a bit over the top." "Wait for me." Saying that, Sami Nami ran out of the room. "I'm sorry to let you be entangled with my daughter." Heisuke said.He was drinking whiskey and water some distance from them. "That's not the case. I'm also very happy. However, Sami Nami is really good, and she wants to study medicine." "This is also her mother's last wish." Heijie said. "Ah? It belonged to your deceased wife?" Wen Ye finished speaking and looked at the altar. "Well. However, it doesn't have to be a medical major. In short, she hopes that her daughter can live a life without regrets." "Oh..." Wen also looked at Naoko's photo. Sami Nami went downstairs and put a printed test paper in front of Wen Ye: "That's the question." "Oh, it's an integral proof question." Wen Ye raised his alcohol-stained face, "Haha, that's it. Squaring is I, and then differentiating with respect to C..." Although the eyelids were already heavy, Wen Ye still took out the ballpoint pen and began to write on the paper.Sami Nami watched the young man's side face with a very trusting expression. Negishi Fumi didn't go back until almost 11 o'clock.Although the feet are a little light, but it seems that the mind is still very clear.This is demonstrated by the fact that he can solve three math problems that Sami Nami throws at him without difficulty. "He's really a straightforward person, he doesn't feel like beating around the bush at all." After watching Wenya go away, Sami Nami said. From the look in her eyes when she said this, Hirasuke had a premonition, but he didn't say it. The two of them picked up the dishes together.By the time everything was packed, it was almost 12 o'clock.Neither of them had a bath yet, but as if they had made an appointment in advance, the two came to the Japanese-style room together and sat down facing each other. "you're tired right?" "a little bit." "Fortunately, tomorrow is Saturday. Do you still have to go to school?" "Well, but it's only half a day." After speaking, Sami Nami looked at her father, "Dad, Mom probably won't show up tonight." "……yes?" "Well, not tonight." "Really." Heisuke looked at the altar, and Naoko in the photo was looking at him with a smile. "Dad, I have something to ask you." "What's up?" "Tomorrow, after the school is done, I want you to take me to a place and drive there." "Ah, you want to go for a drive, okay! Where do you want to go?" Because it was the first time Sami Nami made such a request, Hirasuke was a little confused. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Shanxia Park." "Yamashita Park... the one in Yokohama?" "Yeah." She nodded. A cold wind blows into Heisuke's heart.His heart sank deeply in the blink of an eye. "Is...tomorrow?" he asked. "Well, tomorrow," she replied. "I see," he nodded, "I see." Sami Nami's eyes started to bloodshot.She covered her mouth, stood up, went straight out of the room, and ran up the stairs. Heisuke crossed his legs.He turned his head away and looked at the photo on the altar again. Yamashita Park - where he and Naoko had their first date...
