white night walk 东野圭吾 2323Words 2018-03-22
The Eagle Golf Driving Range is built in a residential area planned into a checkerboard grid. The signboard says "200 yards in length, equipped with the latest driving machines".Inside the green net, small white balls dance continuously. It's about twenty minutes' drive from Cheng's apartment.They left home just after four o'clock and arrived at half past four.The flyer said that the briefing would start at five o'clock. "Sure enough, it's too early. I said earlier that I would go out later." Cheng said while controlling the steering wheel of the BMW.

"I'm afraid there will be a traffic jam. However, I can watch other people play, maybe I can refer to it." Xuesui, who was sitting in the passenger seat, replied. "A layman sees that no amount of practice will help." It was a golf rush, and it was a Saturday, so there were quite a lot of guests.The almost full state of the parking lot also proves this. Finally found a parking space, the two got out of the car and walked towards the entrance.When passing by a telephone booth, Xuesui stopped. "Excuse me, can I make a phone call?" She said, taking out a notepad from her bag.

"Then I'll go in and have a look." "Okay." When she spoke, she had already picked up the receiver. The entrance of the golf driving range is as spacious and bright as a cheap western restaurant.Through the glass automatic door, Cheng came inside.In the gray carpeted hall, there were several idle guests.The front desk is on the left as soon as you enter, and two young women in bright uniforms are greeting the guests. "Excuse me, can you please fill in your name here? We will call in order as soon as there is space," said an employee.The one who was talking to her was an obese middle-aged man who seemed to have no connection with sports, with a black golf bag beside him.

"What, there are a lot of people?" The middle-aged man showed displeasure. "Yes, I may ask you to wait for twenty or thirty minutes." "Well, I can't help it." The man wrote his name reluctantly. It seems that the group of people who have nothing to do in the hall are all queuing.Cheng realized again that the so-called golf boom turned out to be real.Perhaps because he didn't have to deal with clients, few of his colleagues were exposed to the movement.He approached the front desk and told the staff they were attending a golf lesson briefing.A staff member replied with a smile: "We will broadcast, please wait here."

At this time, Xuesui came in, and ran over as soon as she saw Cheng, but her expression was a little different from before. "Sorry, something went wrong." "how?" "A little trouble happened in the store, and I had to deal with it." Xuesui bit her lip. Her shop is closed on Sundays, and on Saturdays, Tamura Noriko and a working lady take care of it. "Going now?" Cheng asked, his voice clearly heard that he was very unhappy. "Yeah." Xuesui nodded. "What about golf lessons? You stopped listening to the briefing?" "Sorry, can you go alone? I'll take a taxi back to the store now."

"Oh!" Cheng sighed, "I really can't do anything about you." "I'm sorry." Xuesui clasped her hands together, "Go and listen, if you're bored, go home right away." "of course." "I'm so sorry. Then I'll go first." Xuesui walked out of the gate quickly. After watching her back leave, Makoto sighed again.He tried to suppress the anger in his heart, because he knew that letting it spread would only make him physically and mentally exhausted.He didn't know how many times he had this experience. Cheng decided to go to the golf shop in the corner of the lobby. In addition to golf clubs and supplies, the shop also displayed trinkets.Just looking at these did not deepen his interest.In fact, he knew next to nothing about golf, at most, the basic rules, and the fact that the average player's goal is to break hundreds.However, what kind of score is the so-called broken hundred, he has no idea.

He was browsing the metal clubs when he felt someone watching him.A pair of women's legs covered in trousers were close at hand, and the man seemed to be standing right in front of him.He lifted his eyes up a little, just to meet hers.There was a second or two blank before he cried out in surprise.For a split second, he recognized the woman, thinking she shouldn't be here, but it was her. Misawa Chito stay!She had cut her hair short, and she felt different, but it was her. "Miss Sanze... why are you here?" "Come to practice golf..." Sentsuru raised the club in his hand.

"Ah, that's right." Cheng scratched his cheek, obviously not itchy. "Mr. Gao Gong, too?" "Ah, um, yes." Hearing that she still remembered herself, Cheng was secretly delighted. "Are you coming alone?" "Yes, where is Mr. Gao Gong?" "Me too. Come on, find a place to sit." The waiting guests occupied almost all the chairs in the hall, but fortunately there were two vacant seats against the wall.They sit down there. "I was taken aback. I didn't expect to see you here." "Yeah, me too. For a while, I thought I had the wrong person."

"Where are you?" "I live in Kitazawa and work in a company in Shinjuku." "Still as a dispatcher?" "yes." "I remember that after your contract with our company ended, you said you would go back to your hometown in Sapporo." "You have a really good memory." Qian Duliu smiled, showing healthy white teeth.Her smile makes Cheng think that she really is more suitable for a short haircut. "In the end you didn't go back?" "Stayed there for a while, but came back soon." "Oh." Saying that, Cheng looked at his watch, it was already 4:50.The briefing session was about to start at five o'clock, and he was a little anxious.

The day two years ago came back to his mind.On the night before he and Yukisui got married, he stayed in the lobby of a certain hotel because Senturyu was supposed to show up there. He fell in love with her, and he was determined to confess his love to her even at the expense of everything.At that moment, he was convinced that she was his destined other half.She didn't show up, however.He didn't know the reason, but only knew that it was God's will in the dark. When they met again, Cheng knew that the seed of love hadn't completely died.Just staying by Chiduro's side made him feel blissful, a kind of sweet excitement that he hadn't experienced for a long time.

"Where does Mr. Gao Gong live now?" Qian Duliu asked. "Chengcheng." "You seem to have said that." She showed her eyes searching for memory, "It's been two and a half years... have you had any children?" "not yet." "Aren't you going to want it?" "It's not that I don't intend to, it's that I'm not pregnant..." Cheng smiled wryly. "Is that so." Qian Duliu looked at a loss. "Is Miss Sanze married yet?" "No, I'm still alone." "Oh, is there a plan?" Cheng observed her expression. Qian Duliu smiled and shook his head: "I don't have a partner." "what." Cheng knew that he had put down a big rock in his heart, but at the same time he asked another self: Even so, so what? "You come here often?" he asked. "Once a week, I take golf lessons here." "Attend class?" "Yes." She nodded.She said that she began to attend the beginners' course at 5 pm every Saturday two months ago, which was the course Cheng and the others were going to attend. He said he had come to attend a briefing on the same course. "Here we recruit students every two months. Then we will meet every week from now on?" "Yes." He replied. Regarding this encounter, Cheng felt very complicated, because Xuesui would also come with her.He didn't want Qianduliu to see his wife, and at the same time, he didn't dare to tell her that his wife wanted to go to class with him. At this time, the announcement sounded in the hall: "Guests attending the golf lesson briefing, please gather at the front desk." "I'm going to class." Qianduliu stood up holding the club. "I'll go visit later." "No, it's so embarrassing." She wrinkled her nose and smiled.
