Chapter 13 Chapter One

While taking a shower, the doorbell suddenly rang loudly at the entrance.Yuko Ibe was taken aback: Bastard!It's so late, who else will come here. I wanted to ignore it, but the doorbell rang several times.She had no choice but to put on her clothes and walked out of the bathroom; stood in front of the door and looked out through the peephole.The people outside the door made her feel as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her body, and her mood fell to the bottom. The man outside the door was quite handsome, and he looked a little rich; he had long hair, and was shorter and thinner than ordinary boys.The man's name was Nedo Moriichi.

Yuko didn't open the anti-theft lock.She turned a deaf ear to the ringing doorbell and walked straight back into the dining room.Finally, the doorbell gradually died down. The people outside the door seemed to give up.But before she had time to breathe a sigh of relief, there was a "click, click, click" unlocking sound from the anti-theft door.She turned her head and found that the door was slowly opening.She hurriedly wanted to rush over to push the door shut, but it was too late.That's how Senichi came in. Although when they broke up two years ago, she had already taken back the key from Senyi's hand; but there is no doubt that Senyi went to distribute a spare key himself at that time.Yuko regretted so much, she should have hung up the door chain if she knew this.

I don't know if he was drunk, but Moriichi's face turned red. "Long time no see." He looked around the restaurant while talking, "I really miss this place." "Get out." Yuko said firmly. "Don't be so ruthless. It's hard for someone to come here, so I'll entertain you." "Ah... I'm freezing to death, I'm freezing to death." Mori said, putting his whole hand on the kerosene stove. "What are you doing here?" Mori didn't pay attention to her, but instead asked, "What are you doing?" "Just going to take a shower."

"That's it. I'm sorry, it's a coincidence that I came here." "I'm really sorry, so go back quickly." Mori took a look at the studio next to him. There were easels inside, but there were no canvases on them. "Hey, haven't you practiced painting recently? Didn't I keep telling you that if you don't practice for a day, you won't be as good as before." "Just meddle in your own business!" "Among our classmates, you are the only one who finally became a painter. Draw well." "Thank you for your encouragement. Then, what do you want me to do?"

"I ran into Umeda and Higuchi by accident yesterday," Both Umeda and Higuchi are mutual friends. "Listen to them, you will get married next month, right, with a doctor." "That's right." Yuko suddenly had an ominous premonition. "Where did you meet?" "At my solo exhibition last year. He liked to appreciate paintings very much and often wandered between various galleries; that day he happened to come to my exhibition. He liked my paintings very much and kept stopping in front of them. I went up to talk to him , and that’s how we got to know each other.”

"Hmph, it's really a cheap drama." Jealousy was written all over Moriichi's face.Without saying a word, he suddenly turned his head to Yuko, as if he had made up his mind. "Actually, I want to ask you something." "Please what?" "Break up with that guy and come back to me." The ominous premonition became reality.Moriichi, who heard that Yuko was going to get married, ran over and begged to get back together with her, taking advantage of Jiu Jin.It can be said that the wine is strong and cowardly. "Don't talk stupidly, why should I go with you?"

Mori stretched out his arm and grabbed Yuko's hand: "Because I like you so much that I can't help myself. After we broke up, I have been regretting and always wanting to find a chance to talk to you about getting back together. But I always get in the way To save face, I kept holding back and didn’t tell you. It wasn’t until I heard from Higuchi yesterday that you were getting married that I realized that I couldn’t bear it anymore. I will definitely give you happiness, so come with me.” Yuuko shook his hand away. "It's too much of a joke!" "Now I have a big business in my hands that is starting, and it won't be long before I get on the right track. If it comes true, I can make you live a good life. It's no problem to compare that doctor."

Yuuko was already tired of him.Moriichi always speaks big words, but has neither the ability nor the willpower to realize them.Talk about a big business that started, it is estimated that it will end in failure in the end. Mori forced Yuko to get back together with him over and over again, and Yuko refused him over and over again.She felt more and more that it was unbelievable that the former self could like such a man.Where did I see him?The former self must have been fascinated by his rebellious youth-like appearance and the grand dreams he kept talking about; but in the eyes of now, that kind of self is just young and frivolous.

Gradually, Mori fell silent again.Just when Yuko thought he was finally going to give up, Moriichi suddenly went to the window, pulled the curtain aside, and opened the window.The cold wind of the November night poured in. "If you don't follow me, I'll yell outside. Someone must have come to watch. If your fiancé finds out that you are with a man other than him so late, what will happen?" Yuko shuddered.If he really shouted like that, the consequences would be unimaginable.The first to fourth floors of the "Inoue Building" where Yuko's house is located are leased to various merchants, and only the fifth and sixth floors are occupied by residents.Therefore, only the residents on the fifth and sixth floors are still in this building at night.If he yelled like that, everyone in the building would know about it.

"Please don't do this." She quickly ran to the window and put her hand on Moriichi's shoulder. at this time.A woman falls from upstairs, and it all happens right outside their window.The woman's eyes were wide open.It was just a moment, but it left an indelible memory in Yuko's heart. She was terrified as if her heart would stop beating.Looking at Mori again, the inner fright was clearly revealed on his face. "Look, did you see what happened just now?" Yuko nodded tremblingly.Mori poked his head out of the window to look down, but immediately retracted his head; a moment later, Yuko also poked his head out to look down in fear.Seeing this, she couldn't help but send a chill down her spine.

On the other side of the Muzu River, in the dark of the backyard, a woman was lying there.Yuko couldn't help shrinking her head back in fright. "Why don't you go and have a look?" Mori whispered in her ear.Yuko closed and locked the window; she was too afraid to leave it open.She walked out of the aisle with Mori, locked the door, and walked all the way to the hall on the first floor.They went out the back door and into the backyard. About one meter away from the building, among the overgrown weeds, a woman was lying there upright.She is not tall, her long hair is scattered behind her back, and she is wearing an undershirt and pajama pants.Her two hands were abnormally white, and even ordinary people knew that she was dead. "Who is this woman? She should live upstairs from you, do you know her?" "...Her name is Uchino Asami, and she is a hostess." "Is it suicide? In any case, we have to call 110 to report to the police. Call me from your room." "You go back first." "Ok?" "The two of us are together so late. If my fiance finds out, he will definitely think about it. Just call the police and I can come alone." "How much does he think? It doesn't matter how much he thinks about me. I wish he knew we were together. Let him know what I said..." Yuko was so anxious that she wanted to stomp her foot. "If you go back now, you can still see me tomorrow." "Is this true?" "Of course it is true. By the way, return the key to me." Senichi hesitated.But since Yuko said that if he wanted to see her tomorrow, he had to return the key first; although he was reluctant, he could only do so. "Then I'll go first. I'm serious. I'll come tomorrow." He glanced at Yuko reluctantly, turned and left.As he walked further and further away, his body became smaller and smaller.Yuko finally couldn't bear the loneliness and uneasiness in her heart, and squatted on the ground.
