The place to eat at night is in Sakai City. The restaurant only serves two rounds of dinner every day. Yu Rong made a reservation for the first round at 05:30. He took Lin Wangyue there early and familiarly. People stood on the corner of the street and talked one after another.

Yu Rong was thinking about his future itinerary: "Let's stay in Shanghai for a few days and take a break. To go to Ambrym Island, you need to fly to Sydney first, then transfer to Craig Cove in Vanuatu, and then transfer to Port Vila. I found a travel agency in Port Vila. , the person in charge is very enthusiastic." He asked Lin Wangyue: "Is it too rushed?"

Lin Wangyue replied: "Aren't you going back to Suzhou?"

Yu Rong curled his lips: "If you don't go back, why go back to Suzhou?"

Lin Wangyue laughed, Yu Rong lowered his head, swayed his feet on the ground, and said, "I plan to sell the house in Suzhou."

"Do you need so much money for the later stage of this movie?"

Yu Rong said: "Anyway, I won't go back in the future." After a pause, he added, "It also saves Lao Yu from having to clean and ventilate for me every month."

Speaking of Lao Yu, his throat was dry and he wanted to smoke. Looking around, there was no one on the street, and after a while, there was not even a car. Yu Rong lit a cigarette.Lin Wangyue also ate, and the two ate together.Yu Rong said: "I came here for the first time, and the reservation was also at 05:30. I was afraid that I would be late, and I was afraid that I would not be able to find my way. The alleys in Japan are twists and turns, but I arrived at 04:30 that day, and I kept waiting. Then, no one else came. At 05:30, I was the only one at the door. I thought it was not open that day, so I almost knocked on the door. Thinking about it, I was a little embarrassed. Later, at [-]:[-], the door opened , I don’t know where the cars and people came out, everyone went to the store.”

Lin Wangyue said coldly: "No wonder the Japanese birth rate is so low."

"What does this have to do with fertility?"

Lin Wangyue counted with her fingers, and said: "Buses, subways, and trains all have an exact departure time. If it is not on time, the car will not come. If the place to eat is not on time, you will not be able to eat. People are inertial animals." , growing up in such an environment, it is inevitable to form a concept subtly, and at a certain point in time, anyone can wait for anything, and it will happen naturally."

Yu Rong said: "Your nonsense is one set after another..."

Lin Wangyue ignored him, and went on to say: "But finding a partner, getting married, and having children are not like this. Even if you wait until thirty or forty, people who won't show up will still not show up. They're used to waiting." , no matter how late it is."

Yu Rong listened, waved away some smoke, shook his head, looked at the sushi restaurant, and said, "I don't know why, it feels like I'm dreaming these days."

Lin Wangyue said: "That may really be a dream." He teased, "Anyway, I am the lover of your dreams."

Yu Rong rolled his eyelids and snorted, the sound was like laughter.Lin Wangyue laughed too.Yu Rong finished his cigarette and patted his clothes. He thought and said, "I've been to a lot of places, but I didn't think about it for a few days."

Lin Wangyue said, "Seven days?"

"Bamei... three days?"

"Three days..." Lin Wangyue tilted her head, "Three days in Bangkok?"

"I went back to Shanghai in the middle, maybe two days."

"Ah."

"Two days in Macau."

"Japan……"

"I booked a ticket to Shanghai the day after tomorrow."

"Oh, that's three days too."

Yu Rong said, "How many days is it now?"

Lin Wangyue shrugged, and Yu Rong went through it all over again: "It's been eleven days."

Lin Wangyue looked at the sky, the sky was getting dark, the sun could not be seen, only one end of the narrow street - the place where the sunset was smudged with orange, and the east side, the other end of the street, was paved with charming purple pink.The two hues went up, up, up to the height of the telephone pole, tearing at what little blue was left.

A crow sits on a wire.

Lin Wangyue raised her head and said, "Forget about publishing a travel guide, "Around Asia in Fourteen Days", do you have any connections?"

Yu Rong smiled and said, "Just write the subtitle, have you eaten all these must-eat delicacies? The font is in bold, bright yellow, with bright yellow question marks and exclamation marks."

"What's the cover for?" Lin Wangyue finished her cigarettes, lowered her head and asked Yu Rong.

Yu Rong told him: "You must remember to take pictures when you eat today, otherwise this travel book will not have a cover."

Lin Wangyue was overjoyed, glanced at Yu Rong, took out his phone and looked: "It's 25:[-]!"

They patted the smell of smoke on their clothes again, smelled each other, and at 05:30, it really wasn't cars coming out of nowhere, diners coming out of nowhere, driving into the parking lot from all directions, walking towards the sushi shop.

The wooden door opened, and inside, at the end of a short gravel path, a paper lamp with a white shade was lit.The quiet sushi hidden in the residential area welcomed the first guests tonight.

All eight seats were filled in no time.After Yu Rong took his seat, he deliberately took out his mobile phone and put it on the table.The waitress came to order drinks, Yu Rong ordered a Shishidai, Lin Wangyue ordered iced oolong tea and a cup of Mengque.

Yu Rong went to wash his hands, and when he came out, Lin Wangyue said to him, "Old Yu called you just now."

Yu Rong saw that he had missed two phone calls from Old Yu.He looked at his phone and thought: "Oh, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival."

He went out to answer the phone, this time it was Lao Yu's turn not to answer.After Yu Rong made one call, he didn't plan to call again. He clicked on WeChat.He hasn't checked WeChat for a long time. He paused on the loading screen for a while, and entered the contact interface, where there were red dots everywhere. Brother Hao, Xin Yun, Teacher Guan, and even Qu Shengge all came to him privately. chat.Yu Rong didn't look at it at all, and ignored it, turned to sister Mingming's number, and typed a paragraph: sister Mingming, I didn't receive a call from my dad, what's the matter?

He clicked send, but the message couldn't be sent.Yu Rong stared at the phone for a while, stopped sending, stopped, and turned off the phone.

He hurried back to the store, sat down angrily, his wine was served, he drank half of the glass in one breath, put down the glass, and couldn't help complaining to Lin Wangyue: "I was blocked by my father's current wife gone."

Lin Wangyue drank tea and wiped her hands with a wet towel: "Did your stepmother block you?"

Yu Rong was dissatisfied and displeased: "Can you stop calling me stepmother?"

"Isn't she?"

Yu Rong bit his lip, didn't look at Lin Wangyue, and stared at the sushi bar with folded arms.The general smiled at him and nodded in greeting, Yu Rong could only smile too, he turned his head away and didn't look at anyone, he just looked at the chopsticks and the fish pattern on the earth-colored plate.He said, "Whatever she wants." He added, "Why should she block me?"

Lin Wangyue said: "Then you ask her, how do I know?"

"Don't you know women very well?" Yu Rong said viciously.

Lin Wangyue argued: "I haven't even seen her before!" He brushed aside his bangs, and moved closer to Yu Rong: "Do you see that my eyes are open here?"

Yu Rong fell silent, drinking, and the first appetizer was served, which was a small cup of hot clam soup.He drank it in one gulp, continued to drink, and continued in silence.

Lin Wangyue came to tease him: "Why don't you take pictures? The travel guide is still out?"

Yu Rong stuffed his phone into his trouser pocket and asked him bluntly, "Why don't you take pictures?"

Lin Wangyue said: "My phone's memory is full, and there are all good memories in it. I can't bear to delete them, and I can't bear to upload them to the sky for the cloud to see."

Yu Rong wanted to laugh, but stiffened, they didn't take pictures, some people took pictures, and the young Japanese girl sitting next to Yu Rong kept taking pictures. They ate several appetizers one after another, such as grilled white fish with salt, soup Tofu, fish roe, sea urchin sauce, and also ate sea bream fillet and white roe of anglerfish.Yu Rong drank one cup after another, and when the first scallop sushi came to the table, he was so drunk that his mouth was full of gibberish.

"Did you know? They divorced, and he didn't give my mother a penny. I was still studying in China at that time. We met every Sunday, and every time we ate hot pot, every time."

"He had several women before Sister Mingming... When he was not divorced, he had women..."

"How much has he been in charge of my affairs? He doesn't even say what major I'm studying. He's good at talking big. He pays for the tuition fees. What a fart!"

"Lin Wangyue, do you know? What do I regret the most..." Yu Rong wiped his face, swallowed a freshly rolled nine-section shrimp sushi in one gulp, chewed for a long time, swallowed it, and continued Said, "My mother passed away on September 9th, so I called and asked all the hospitals in New York about children born on the 13th. I wanted to see them, and I just wanted to see them..."

He had a belch, and Lin Wangyue in front of him began to shake, began to smile, his skin became brighter, and his eyes became more indifferent. Yu Rong knew that he had drunk too much, but he still wanted to drink, and he still wanted to say, he said first Where are you?Speaking of regrets.He continued.

"What I regret is that I brought my mother's ashes back to Suzhou. I regret it! I should put her at home and make a Buddhist altar! Just like in Japanese movies, I knock on the ashes every day before going out. Knock..." Yu Rong turned to talk to the girl next to him who said "delicious, delicious" in Japanese, he pointed back and forth between himself and Lin Wangyue, and said in English: "We came from New York, It's really delicious."

The girl nodded with a smile.Although Yu Rong was a little dizzy, he did not speak loudly, and to his own ears, his tone was very gentle.He was just drunk, not drunk.

"I will come here every time I come to Osaka." He said, nodding vigorously to the general who made the sushi.

He turned back and looked at Lin Wangyue: "What kind of person is your guy? I want to see what kind of person the person you love is! Does he have an instatgram? I follow him, and I will now Follow him!"

After saying that, he dug out his phone and pressed it indiscriminately. The screen was completely black. Yu Rong smiled, scratched his nose, and turned on the phone first. When the screen turned on, he searched while talking: "Did you know that people are in a coma?" At that time, the fingerprint lock cannot be unlocked, and it cannot be sensed."

He enters: Lin Wangyue, space, partner.

He directly clicked on the photos he found.After reading a few photos, Yu Rong put down his phone, lay down on the table, and whispered: "The fortune teller said that my mother can live to be 80 years old and 90 years old."

He ate abalone sushi and cursed: "It's all fart."

He took out an envelope from the backpack on the ground, pulled out a few pieces of letter paper inside, flipped it open, and said, "Master Hu Bingshun in Xiatang Street, Suzhou counted it for her. Listen to what nonsense it is," he said. I saw a line at random, and read it casually, "I ordered Zhanlu to buy land and build a house. The Lord originally had a sign of food for the country. Unfortunately, he died in the air and failed to fulfill his wish. In addition, the Lord was busy and busy making wedding clothes for others. omen."

Yu Rong said, "It's all..."

He choked, and read it again silently, and it stopped.The light white fish is served, and a piece of sliced ​​ark shell sushi serves as the boundary of the following dishes.Yu Rong lowered his eyes, chewed for a long time, and then said: "Lin Wangyue, you know, I often want to die. What do you mean by being alive? I live a repeated and similar life every day. Where do I go? It’s all the same, nothing more than eating breakfast, thinking about lunch while eating breakfast, thinking about dinner during lunch, thinking about breakfast while sleeping, and the rest of the time is either on the road or waiting, I don’t know what to wait for, waiting for an opportunity? Can I grasp the opportunity when it comes? Do I have the ability? Is my life not enough to reflect the social reality? I don’t care about the social reality at all. The system needs to change, everyone should be equal, true freedom will never come, but I don't want to film this, isn't there enough talk about these people? Is there any other place in the world that is better? Isn't it Can't you talk about something beautiful, eternal, and something that will always move people? Like love, like..." He poured out bitter water, swallowed, and his vision blurred, "like a train passing through a maple forest, autumn, The maple leaves are blood red and golden, and there is an old man sitting on the train. He is carrying a very old, long-used environmental protection bag with many hairballs on the surface. He carefully takes out a leather box from the lining pocket of his clothes. He opened the leather box, and inside the box was a smart phone. He wiped the screen of the phone with a handkerchief and used it carefully. Outside the window was a mirror-like lake.

"I got out of the car. I wish him happiness."

Yu Rong lowered his head and said, "I'm incoherent."

Lin Wangyue's voice rang in his ears: "You talk upside down just because you're drinking too much."

Rumbling.

Yu Rong smiled, raised his head, and listened carefully. The sushi master was introducing him to the young girl sitting next to him. The Japanese English was mixed with bold Kansai dialect. He was talking about New York, movie directors, etc. , the girl responded, and the middle-aged man beside her also responded, nodding, and they looked at Yu Rong with smiles.

Yu Rong smiled and spoke English to them: "It's nothing, Hollywood is just a public relations game!" His hands were intertwined and he gestured, "It's a game! It's not a movie."

He sat down again and asked for another drink. The general told him in half English that he had finished the last bottle of Fourteen Dais in the shop.

Yu Rong drank tea and ate a piece of freshly made tuna sushi.

That dreamlike feeling came back.

He can't find the ground, can't find the exit, he eats when people serve him food, laughs and responds when others talk to him.He felt that he was so light that he could float up, and he wanted to grab himself, but it was Lin Wangyue who grabbed him.But Lin Wangyue couldn't catch him, he understood, but he couldn't bear to let go of him.

Yu Rong didn't know how he settled the bill, how he got back to the hotel, he was drowsy all the way, and Lin Wangyue seemed to be beside him, but he didn't have much sense of presence.He took out his mobile phone and clicked, and the opened webpage was still on the page left after searching for "Lin Wangyue, partner".

Lin Wangyue's partner is called Li Xiao. He is [-] years old this year. He has a handsome appearance. No matter which media he is in, he has a mature and steady demeanor. He doesn't smile very much, but he doesn't look too rigid and serious. Perhaps it was because of his soft dark eyes.He has a private instatgram account called "themoon".

Yu Rong put away his cell phone, lay down, took a rest, and sat up in a daze.Lin Wangyue took a shower in the bathroom, he came out and handed Yu Rong a tissue.Yu Rong wiped his mouth, Lin Wangyue pointed to his eyes.Yu Rong wiped his eyes.Wipe away tears.

He closes his eyes and he imagines a tree.
