Chapter 3 Section 3 Water City Aki

Sunday, May 14th at 6:30 p.m. I really want to see my mother, I really want to see my mother. Aki sat in the corner of the living room, with his arms around his knees protruding from the bottom of his skirt.The setting sun penetrated through the windows and shone obliquely on the white walls. Pick up the handset from the cabinet and press the redial button.But there was still a cold voice on the phone, telling the other party that the phone was turned off. Why is it turned off at this time? Usually Hui is at work, in order to be able to receive calls from Aki at any time, the mobile phone will never be turned off.When Yaji calls her, as long as she is not negotiating work with clients, she will definitely answer.No matter how trivial, Hui will respond with the most gentle voice.Why is it shutting down today?

Ya Ji stared at the glass on the cabinet, the glass vaguely reflected his own face, fair forehead and cheeks, and short hair that had never been grown since childhood.Sometimes, Hui looked at Aki and suggested that she grow her hair long.Hui said that Ya Ji must be very suitable for long hair, and even the classmates in the class often said so.But she always shook her head and refused. Aki doesn't want to grow her hair long at all. In the past, Yaji never thought about why she didn't grow her hair long.However, today I finally know why.She doesn't want to be a woman, that's why she doesn't want to grow her hair long.Yaji keeps suppressing the fact that she is a woman in her heart.Wearing skirts and pink clothes is a last resort.Because I am a primary school student, I can only wear the clothes my parents bought.But there is only hair, Yaji doesn't want to grow it anyway, she can't bear the body turning into a woman.Aki doesn't want to be a woman, definitely doesn't want to be a woman.

So, is it better to be a man?do i want to be a man Aki asked himself in his heart. No... men are worse than women. This is Aki's answer.Men would do excesses to me; men would leave irreparable scars on my heart and body. Yaji slowly shifted his gaze to the kitchen table, where there was a plastic bag from a convenience store with two popsicles in the bag.The popsicle has probably melted by now.Aki blinked slowly as tears rolled down her cheeks and dripped onto her bare knees.While crying, she stroked the lower body where the discomfort persisted.I really want to see my mother, I really want to see my mother, I really want to see my mother.But……

Hui didn't come back after seven o'clock, and Hui still didn't come back after eight o'clock. eleven o'clock.Yaji picked up the phone on the cabinet again, his wrist throbbed, and the phone almost fell to the ground.Aki looked at his right wrist while listening to the monotonous ringtone from the microphone.It's so red, the traces of being tied by the headband are still clearly left on the wrist.I am afraid that this trace will not disappear until tomorrow.This pain will probably continue until the day after tomorrow. Ya Jigai held the phone with her left hand, and this time she dialed her father's cell phone number.

"... Aki?" Hearing Shuicheng's first words, Yaji was puzzled. "How do you know it's me?" The phone number displayed on the father's cell phone should be the home phone number. After a while, Shuicheng gave the answer: "Even if your mother is at home, she will use her mobile phone to make calls, which is cheaper." "Dad, what should I do? Mom hasn't come back yet." "Haven't come back yet? It's... eleven o'clock now." Shuicheng on the other end of the phone seemed to check the clock. "Come back later."

"But she's never been home so late before." "Did you call her cell phone?" "No one answered, it seems that the phone is turned off." "Perhaps meeting someone." "Someone?" The next moment, the words from the other end of the microphone pierced Aki's heart fiercely. "Some man." For a long time, Aki couldn't say a word. "Go to the refrigerator and find something to eat. Your mother just hasn't come home yet. Don't call me. I'm working." Aki tried his best to find a single answer. "never mind……"

She put down the phone, and her right wrist began to throb again. Occasionally, she glanced inside the glass cabinet.A bottle of whiskey with a circular arc design is placed in the corner of the cabinet. This is what Watertown drinks every night.Now, Shuicheng seldom goes home when Yaji is still awake, but as long as she gets up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, she will definitely see Shuicheng drinking this bottle of whiskey alone. Aki pushed open the glass door of the cupboard and took out the whiskey.Under the bottle was a piece of paper that had been folded very small. Yaji slowly spread the paper out to smooth out the wrinkles.It was a piece of A4-sized white paper, with only one line of short horizontal printing printed on the paper:

Che, I'm tired.I will never forgive you. In the middle of the night, the phone rang. It was the police.
