As soon as Huang Jie returned home, Yoichiro asked him where he was going. Huang Jie didn't want to talk about going to Tiandi, and it was inconvenient to tell Yoichiro about being together with Aki later.It would be bad if Yoichiro asked about the conversation he had with Aki.Aki's family situation is abnormal, the content of the suicide note left by Huisuo, etc., it is best not to say these things from your own mouth.Although it is very likely that Yoichiro knew these things from Mizuki's mouth, that is another matter. "I've been reading books in the bookstores in the shopping street."

Huang Jie lied. During the ritual of the wake, Huangsuke had no chance to speak to Aki at all.Yaji sat side by side with Shuicheng beside the altar with flowers.At this time, she looked very petite, like a doll, and she was completely different from the one who just stood in the sunset.When Huangsuke went to offer incense beside Yoichiro, he met Aki's eyes, but Aki just nodded silently in return, just like other hangers-on. "My family is very strange, not the same as ordinary families." According to Yaji, Shuicheng has not talked with Yaji and Hui since two years ago.In order not to endure the relationship with Shuicheng any more, Hui even jumped from the top floor of the university's research building.Although the content of the suicide note heard from Ya Ji's mouth was short and vague, at least one thing is certain, that is, Hui's suicide was all because of Shuicheng.

What happened to Aki's family two years ago? "Is the relationship between Uncle Shuicheng's family not good?" On the way home at night, Huang Jie asked Yoichiro nonchalantly.After a while, Yoichiro said: "Why do you ask?" "Didn't Aunt Hui commit suicide? I think it has something to do with family discord, right?" Huang Jie casually found a reason and said it.After a while, Yoichiro replied: "Well, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite." After finishing speaking, Yoichiro didn't speak any more.On the road at night, only the footsteps of two people stepping on the asphalt road echoed in emptiness.

Yoichiro and Osuke bought two bento boxes at the convenience store and went home, sitting face to face at the dining table and eating them.One is pork belly bento and the other is roasted pork bento.The two exchanged a few slices of meat to try, but they couldn't taste the difference at all.When Yoichiro went into the bathroom to take a shower, Osuke was drinking the barley tea he took out of the refrigerator, while recalling the conversations he had in the park today. "I always feel happier then." Very flat, emotionless voice. "Yesterday, I wanted to die." Did Yaji get hit by a car on purpose because he couldn't bear his mother's death?

"I won't go to your house again." What exactly does that sentence mean? Surrounded by a large amount of incomprehensible messages, Huang Jie couldn't help but feel breathless. Maybe it's useless to think too much, anyway, he has no power to help.However, Huang Jie couldn't ignore Ya Ji's death.Aki is longing for help from others, and Huang Jie knows this very well.This was the first time Huang Jie saw Ya Ji showing such helpless eyes, and it was also the first time Huang Jie felt that Ya Ji looked so weak. The sound of showering came from the bathroom. Huang Jie intends to find some other things to think about, so maybe his thoughts can become more organized.

"Dad, can I use the computer?" Osuke asked Yoichiro through the bathroom door.The sound of water from the shower head stopped, and an indistinct voice came from the inside of the frosted glass: "What did you say……" "I want to write a composition, can I use a computer?" "Oh, yes." The sound of water from the shower head sounded again. Huang Jie walked into Yoichiro's room.That report was still on the desk, Huang Jie moved it aside and turned on the power of the computer.Enter WINDOWS system, start WORD.Recalling the content taught in class, set the layout to a straight book style of 40 characters x 40 characters, and then put your hands on the keyboard.The homework instructed by the teacher is set as a composition in such a format, and the amount of text only needs to be one page.

Huang Jie was troubled and didn't know what to write.The teacher didn't specify the topic, memories of childhood, recent events, etc., you can write anything.But Huang Jie really didn't want to write what happened recently in the composition. "Just write that..." Huang Jie decided to write about the watermelon that he and Aki talked about in the park in the evening. Hitting here, Huang Jie hesitated.If this composition is seen by Xiao Shan, I am afraid he will ask him about it again.Huang Jie decided to delete the sentence at the end of this line and type it again. Huang Jie recalled what happened at that time, and typed out each word on the keyboard.Every two or three characters typed are converted into Chinese characters, and an article is gradually pieced together.

"kekkyoku...it turned out...bokutachiha...we...suikawo...bought watermelon" I kept writing until I bought a watermelon in the supermarket, cut it in half with a kitchen knife, and each of them ate half.But after finishing writing, there are still a lot of blanks on the page, Huang Jie began to worry.If I continue to write, I will only have diarrhea.He wasn't sure whether this composition was only seen by his tutor Nishio, maybe all the articles would be posted on the wall at the back of the classroom. "Forget it, never mind." Anyway, it was already four years ago, even if everyone knows that I have diarrhea, it's okay, the statute of limitations has passed to laugh.Huang Jie decided to continue writing.

"sonoyoru...that night...bokuha...I...suikanoseide...because of the watermelon sex..." Wrong type.What was supposed to be called "watermelon relationship" turned into "watermelon sex".Huang Jie pressed the back button to delete "sex".It must be because Yoichiro mentioned the word "sex" when he used this computer to type an article, so when typing "sei", "sex" became the first choice for Chinese character conversion. Huang Jie heard the sound of the bathroom door being pulled open, and Yoichiro seemed to come out.Huang Jie continued to write the composition, and the diarrhea matter was finished, but there was still some blank space on the left side of the page.Nervous, there is nothing to write.

"Just write whatever you want..." He decided to add some sentimentality at the end of the composition, and thought of a sentence in his mind-"I seldom pass by that park now, so I rarely pick up money." It should be fine to write like this. .Although I don't even know what this sentence means, I believe the teacher will give me a good explanation.Huang Jie started typing on the keyboard. "imadeha...now...sonokouenwo...that park...toru...toru..." Mistyped again. "Passing through" became "Che".Impatiently, he stretched his finger toward the back button.At this moment, he was taken aback for a moment, and immediately turned his gaze back to the screen.

"Toru" is Aki's father's name. For some reason, Huang Jie had a wonderful sense of foreboding in his chest, a vague uneasiness. Che, I'm tired.I will never forgive you. "There should be no connection." Huang Jie decided not to think about it, and reached out to delete the last word of the sentence. After a while, he finished writing his thoughts, and the whole composition was completed.He turned on the power of the laser printer next to the desk, pressed the "print" icon on the screen, and the printed paper with the composition slid out from the printer's paper outlet with the sound of the fan running.The sound of the fan running..., this sound... It seemed that a very important matter flashed through Huang Jie's mind. this voice... It seems that when and where I have heard it. But Huang Jie couldn't remember at all. Close the file.Some messages popped up on the screen, Huang Jie ignored them and pressed the enter key casually.As a result, closed files appear to be stored in "My Document".The message on the screen just now seems to be a "Do you want to save?" kind of question.If the composition stored in the computer is seen by Yoichiro, it would be embarrassing, and it would be better to delete the file.So Huang Jie operated the mouse and opened "My Document".The name of the file saved just now is "First Grade...", which is the first sentence at the beginning of the article.If no file name is set, the program will automatically use the first sentence of the article as the file name.Huang Jie right-clicked on the document and selected "Delete" from the menu.In this way, the file is thrown into the "recycle bin" on the desktop. "garbage can……" Huang Jie suddenly remembered what Yoichiro said. "It's okay, don't rummage through the trash can." That's exactly what Yoichiro said yesterday evening. Huang Jie stared at the screen and moved the mouse slowly.His hand seemed to have a will, moving on its own.The cursor moved to the top of the "resource recycling bin" icon on the screen, and the index finger clicked twice on the mouse to open the "resource recycling bin".There are two WORD files in it, one of which is the document I just deleted, and the other... thorough,…… This is the file name of the other file.Huang Jie moved the cursor to the icon of the file, and clicked the button twice.But it seems that the files in the "recycle bin" cannot be opened directly.So Huang Jie moved the file to the desktop again, and tried to click twice again.This time, the contents of the file are displayed on the screen. Che, I'm tired.I will never forgive you. Huang Jie almost cried out, and hastily gritted his teeth.His eyes were stunned by the line of words in front of him, his ears seemed to be stuffed with cotton, and he couldn't hear anything, as if cold water droplets were seeping into the depths of his chest drop by drop.How is this going?Why is there such a file in this computer? "Even elementary school students have to use computers to do their homework recently." Yoichiro's voice made Huangsuke's heart twitch violently.Huang Jie hurriedly looked back, the first thing to confirm was whether Yoichiro was wearing glasses.Fortunately, he didn't wear it.Yoichiro in pajamas was wiping his hair with a towel while squinting at Osuke from outside the door.He should not be able to see the screen on the computer. "Elementary school students are also very hard." Huang Jie faced the computer again, quickly closed the file, put the file into the "recycling bin" again, and then turned off the power.My head was in a mess.How is this going?What happened?I now how to do?How can I do? Huang Jie only thought of a way to calm his mind. There must be something wrong... Huang Jie decided to convince himself so.
